63
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,679

67
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: up as one of the talking points was they did

68
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: a thing where if you stopped at mile eighteen, you

69
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: were still gonna get a medal. You were still gonna

70
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: get a finished first medal, because.

71
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 5: The whole point in our society today participation trophy.

72
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: But that's just it, right. The whole point to me

73
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: was always all right, if I'm in reasonable shape and

74
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 3: I train, I can get to that sixteen to eighteen miles, right,

75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: and my body's still gonna be fine. It's the body

76
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: starts breaking down thereafter, and it's being able to have

77
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: the mental where wherewithal the intestinal fortitude to steal from

78
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: guerrilla monsoon to finish those last couple of miles.

79
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 5: So at that point it's mental it really right, and

80
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 5: it's done. I've never gone farther than that. I'm trying

81
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 5: to get to a half.

82
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: Let's see. I applaud you for even there. I've had

83
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: a couple of people challenge me. I'm like, if you'll

00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: put up enough money, I'll try it.

Speaker 4: Whatever the entry fee is for the for the marathon.

102
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: That's hardly worth it, Jared, I know, on a broadcaster

103
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: salary here trying buddy, but no, uh, because that's the thing.

104
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: I've known so many people at some point in their

105
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: forties running became a thing or they want and bought

106
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: little uh, sit down bicycles because especially down where I'm at, Well,

107
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: you've got a forty you know, forty mile strand along

108
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: the beach, right, you can go from Santa Monica, uh

109
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: and and north of that and then run all the

110
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: way down to Palace Verites and then some uh so

111
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 3: you can get out there. And they've got the ones,

112
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: the little recumbent bicycles that are you know, the flags

113
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: up so you see it waving, so you know someone's

114
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: coming by, but they're just kind of rolling along as

115
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: if they're on a big wheel or a mean machine.

116
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: But it's more ergonomic, it's better for the back and

117
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 3: all of those things. Then if you're riding tons of

118
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: miles the other way, that makes fise. So you've got that.

119
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: And as folks have gotten a little older, I know

120
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 3: some folks that have gone down. And if you watched

121
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: the the latest Saint Louis show, I don't know if

122
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: I can do the acronym here.

123
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: So Jason, I don't know anything about what's going on

124
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: with Well.

125
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to ozark no, no, no, no, that's

126
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: that's the old Jason Bateman. This is a new one

127
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 3: with Harbor and Linda ARLINI.

128
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: Oh, I like both of those.

129
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: It's a great show. Uh d t.

130
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 4: F no idea. You know that I had to do

131
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: the p I mean something different.

132
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly it. But that's so that's the name

133
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: of the show. U. But they're they're riding bicycles and

134
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: they're singing and whatever. It's it's it's fun and whatever,

135
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: but it's the people have either gone into that or

136
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: they've gone marathon. Running either way neither really entices or

137
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: intrigues me.

138
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 5: Running for me has changed my mental It's been more

139
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 5: mental like physically, obviously you're getting a lot of physical

140
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 5: exertion and exercise from it, but you can get the

141
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 5: same amount of physical exertion from doing any workout. I

142
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 5: think what's changed my opinion because I was always like,

143
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 5: I'm not a runner. I was a football player. I

144
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 5: do sprints, I don't. I don't run long businesses. I

145
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 5: was always of the belief that I couldn't. And then

146
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 5: once I started doing it, it was more of like

147
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 5: a mental like. I just I slowed my my breathing

148
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 5: down and I was able to kind of connect. It

149
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 5: was like a spiritual almost like and I think when

150
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 5: you're running long distances, like anything over five miles, I

151
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 5: think like you've got to really slow your mind down.

152
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 5: And I think that's what's I've gotten the best benefit

153
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 5: from it, more mental than physical.

154
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: That sounds weird, you know.

155
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: You get a little bit of the Kevin Costner clear

156
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: the mechanism from.

157
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 5: UH Clear the Game. That's one of my favorite baseball

158
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 5: movies that no one talks about.

159
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 6: Well.

160
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: One of the greades, John c Riley and the voice

161
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: of Vin Scully bringing us all the fun and excitement.

162
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: But you know what you'll be able to do in

163
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: the desert pretty soon. We'll get to that in a second.

164
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: For over forty years, Tyreck's been helping customers find the

165
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship

166
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: fast and free back by free road hazard protection with

167
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tyrec dot com

168
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: the way tire buying should be. We talked earlier about, Hey,

169
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: we're going to combat tanking and change up the draft

170
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: and really have this commissioner and owners pow wow to

171
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: figure out the best way to solve this problem. Great, No,

172
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: that's fantastic. The other thing that came up is what's

173
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: been on the table for a while and effected is

174
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: the notice of expansion rapid expansion another two teams, which

175
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: is funny because it flies directly in the face of, hey,

176
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: we're combined batting tanking because we've got so many bad teams,

177
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: teams that can't compete, players that aren't good enough to

178
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: win all of these kind of things. But yeah, let's

179
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: add two more teams. One of them the return of

180
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: the SuperSonics seems inevitable as I'm watching Kevin Durant at

181
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: the free throw line Houston and Minnesota late and then

182
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: obviously a team in Las Vegas, which has been rumored forever.

183
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: Once upon a time, I remember when Tony Romo couldn't

184
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: sign autographs and show up at a fantasy football conference

185
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas. Now we've got teams everywhere, and now

186
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: we're talking about an NBA franchise coming to town. Estimated

187
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: price of entry seven to ten billion dollars. Boy, those

188
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: TV deals really made up for it and adding extra

189
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 3: roster spots. Yes, that's good, good for the players, associate association,

190
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: more jobs, et cetera. But I'm doing a little hand

191
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: ringing when I'm talking about more of a watered down

192
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: product and dissolution of the process.

193
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think Vegas and Seattle are very

194
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 5: worthy teams. So I've been reading a lot of articles

195
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 5: recently about how Vegas is dead. If you've been, you know,

196
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: following the travel blogs, you know the strip prices are

197
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 5: getting absurd, with a slice of pizza costing twenty dollars,

198
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 5: and people are saying Vegas is dead. Well in the

199
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 5: next three years, Vegas is getting a Final Four, They're

200
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 5: getting an NBA team, and they're getting the Athletics. Oh

201
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 5: and a Super Bowl in twenty twenty nine. So Vegas

202
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 5: is not dead, It's alive and well. I think the

203
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 5: Seattle situation is obviously a rebirth, and I think the

204
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 5: franchise will be welcome back with open arms. The thing

205
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 5: I love about the Vegas expansion, I mean, obviously I'm biased.

206
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 5: I've lived in Vegas now for the last four years

207
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 5: i've been I really do feel like this place is

208
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 5: my home now. I'm an East Coast guy from New York.

209
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 5: Originally I root for all New York sports teams, but

210
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 5: since I've come to Vegas, I've really become a fan

211
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 5: of the Golden Knights. And the reason why the Golden

212
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 5: Knights have been so widely accepted here is because they're

213
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 5: not a team that is relocated from somewhere else like

214
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 5: the Raiders where they or the Athletics.

215
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: They are Vegas's own.

216
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 5: They are a new team that Vegas has adopted, and

217
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 5: I think that's where Seattle obviously is in a different

218
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 5: situation because there was such a strong history with the

219
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 5: Sonics before they left, and they'll be welcomed back and

220
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 5: they'll be a rebirth, whereas the Vegas situation is new

221
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 5: and it's fun and it's fresh. So I think there

222
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 5: will be a boost initially from those situations, Mike. But

223
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 5: I agree with your premise that we have a problem

224
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: in the NBA that is not going away anytime soon

225
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 5: unless they de incentivize losing. And now you're diluting the

226
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: product by two teams essentially almost you know what, five

227
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 5: percent of the league. Right, there's thirty teams you're adding,

228
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 5: you know, two to the mix. So I think there's

229
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 5: definitely some questions that will be need to be answered

230
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 5: in terms of roster construction, in terms of salary cap

231
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 5: in terms of you know what the name of the

232
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 5: teams are gonna be, especially for the Vegas team. But

233
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 5: I think the short term is positive. I think it's

234
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 5: a net positive in the short term, and then I

235
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 5: think how the long term works out will be determined

236
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 5: on how this tanking dilemma gets solved.

237
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and theory, you spread out a little bit of

238
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: your top end talent and maybe there are guys buried

239
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: on benches in situation we talk about it in the NFL,

240
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 3: certainly all the time of guys that are on rosters

241
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 3: that just never get a chance to shine, right, whether

242
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: the team itself is dysfunctional. And since I'm sitting in

243
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: a chair normally occupied by my Jets loving counterpart, mister Smith.

244
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 4: I'm also a Jets fan, by the way, but there see,

245
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 4: there you go. Sorry, I'm not a Mets fan.

246
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 3: Look, I'm one yearfory, so I mean, I can't really speak,

247
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: but you've seen a playoff game in this, But it's

248
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 3: just the idea that you have all these organizations that

249
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: can't get out of their own way. So maybe this

250
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: is where some of these young players. I mean, look

251
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: at what Steve Kurr's done with young talent. He hates

252
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: them right to a man, like I think the only

253
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: guy he actually kind of liked was Moody and now

254
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 3: he's hurt. But you saw what happened with Kamana, You've

255
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: seen it with other young players. You saw what happened

256
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: with Jordan Poole. Not to say he was necessarily blameless,

257
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: but Draymond Green got to punch him in the face,

258
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 3: and it was like, Ah, what are you gonna do?

259
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: Draymond's Draymond, which is to me in any walk of life.

260
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 3: That's the worst thing ever. If a guy's a bully

261
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: or just spouts a bunch of nonsense, whatever the business is.

262
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: You know, people in your in your group is like

263
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 3: just going, ah, that's just who he or she is.

264
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: Like that's not good. That doesn't excuse it. Like if

265
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: bad behavior is bad behavior. But when we talk about

266
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 3: you know, Vegas, I think it's also just returned to

267
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 3: what Vegas kind of was, right. I think there was

268
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: also a product issue whereby in order to try to

269
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 3: just attract masses, it gave up some of its identity

270
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: and class. If I can say that about Las Vegas

271
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: much different going twenty years ago to say five years ago.

272
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: And I think that again, what.

273
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 5: Built Vegas was you could come to Vegas and you

274
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 5: could get the best deals of anywhere, and you know,

275
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 5: you got cheap prices, and you go to the casinos

276
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 5: and they would give you free drinks, and they give

277
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: you free meals, and they give you all these cops

278
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 5: where now the climate has changed, and I don't think

279
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: that's a bad thing. I just think we as a

280
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 5: society really distrusts and pushes.

281
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 4: Back against change.

282
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 5: Vegas is changing, Vegas is no longer the place you

283
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 5: come to get a bargain.

284
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, they feel now a destination city.

285
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 5: Super Bowls, final fours, all major professional sports are going

286
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 5: to be here, the f one race every I think

287
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 5: it's November November. Vegas is now a destination sports city.

288
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 5: Whereas twenty years ago it was the place you came

289
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 5: to get away from the destinations.

290
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: It was the place where you came to fantasyland. Sin City.

291
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 4: I don't think it's sin City anymore. I honestly think

292
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: it's changing.

293
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 5: And someone who's lived here for four years, I think

294
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 5: it's now becoming more of the place you come for

295
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 5: a premier event and you are better get ready to

296
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 5: pay top dollar for it.

297

Speaker 3: Well, it's the old Tom Betty lined. All the boys

298
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,360

299

Speaker 3: ready to welcome in our buddy from well your neck

356
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: of the woods there. Todd Furman joins us frequently on

357
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 3: the show, efforting him right now. But pretty good night

358
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 3: for the sporting universe as we get major League Baseball

359
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: back on track. Always always good for the pomp and circumstance.

360
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: I know some folks were upset that it was a

361
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: night game to start things, as opposed to some of

362
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 3: those traditional pomp and circumstance you know, nine AM kind

363
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 3: of games like the Cincinnati Reds Days of old.

364
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 5: M Yeah, I think baseball season, the first week of

365
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 5: it's probably one of the toughest opening weeks of any

366
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 5: season to bet. If that's your bag, Like, I think

367
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 5: there's a certain level of the season is so long,

368
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 5: and some of these guys just come in with I

369
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 5: don't want to say, you know, not fully engaged in

370
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 5: what they're doing, because they're professional athletes and they're always

371
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 5: fully engaged. But baseball is such a data driven sport

372
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 5: in terms of trying to predict who's going to win

373
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 5: and lose, and really the prop market's probably my favorite

374
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 5: way to bet it, like, well this really the pitchers

375
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 5: on that. That's my best advice for people who are

376
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 5: trying and there's a lot of options out there. There's

377
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 5: a lot of ways that you can bet on these games,

378
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 5: and you can, you know, have a have a slice

379
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 5: of the pie, have a little more invested in it.

380
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 5: I think the pitcher props because that's what you're handicapping

381
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 5: each individual game is you're trying to figure out will

382
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 5: this picture pitch well against this lineup?

383
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 4: That to me is the core of any baseball.

384
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 5: Handicap, So it makes sense to look to that market first.

385
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 5: And then also the thing that I hate trying to

386
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 5: figure out on a nightly basis and I try to

387
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 5: wash my hands of it, is what the bullpens are

388
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 5: gonna do.

389
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: That's probably.

390
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 3: Very dangerous and how they'll be utilized game to game,

391
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: series to series the short term and long term. So

392
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: let's go out to your neck of the woods in

393
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 3: Las Vegas. Longtime friend of the show, It's Tod Furman

394
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 3: for more on this and everything going on in our

395
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 3: sporting universe as we get ready for the next iteration

396
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: of the NZ DOAA Tournament and so much more. Todd,

397
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 3: what's going on, buddy.

398
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 6: If you guys were going to do a full deep

399
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 6: dive of handicapping Major League Baseball gents, I was going

400
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 6: to hang up and listen. I got my nine innings

401
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 6: pill tonight, watching my beloved Yankees on Netflix. I'll watch

402
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 6: baseball through Sunday and then you can wake me up

403
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 6: in October when things start to matter and the Dodgers

404
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 6: actually treat a baseball game seriously, knowing that it's a

405
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 6: glorified dress rehearsal for one hundred and sixty two of

406
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 6: these things all summer long.

407
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 3: Well, and that's the funny part, right, because we're talking

408
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: a lot about the NBA in that respect, Todd. As

409
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: we get towards the end of the season, trying to

410
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 3: determine on a nightly basis how much the old college

411
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: try comes into effect.

412
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 6: Hey, and the good thing is, guys, at least with

413
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 6: two more teams on the horizon, one out here in

414
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 6: our neck of the woods off for Jared and myself

415
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 6: in Vegas, and one in Seattle, we can add probably

416
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 6: three or four more tanking teams to the mix that

417
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 6: we're having the discussion in mid March, come twenty thirty

418
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 6: and beyond. So kudos to the NBA, get your seven

419
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 6: to ten billion and continue to play regular season games

420
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 6: that nobody pays attention to.

421
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were just talking about last long. I guess

422
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 5: the best question is, now, what are they going to

423
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 5: name the Vegas team? I mean, I'm assuming Seattle's going

424
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 5: to take the Sonics again. What do you think, like,

425
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 5: what are the odds on favorite for what they named

426
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 5: the Vegas team?

427
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 6: It is a phenomenal question and one I was poking around.

428
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 6: I was some of the regulated books and some of

429
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 6: the prediction markets to figure out if there was even

430
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 6: an odds market that was out there. And while you

431
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 6: never want to pill for a nickname for a team

432
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 6: that's there, given the sensitivity, I can't imagine that the

433
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 6: NBA is going to look at any of the gambling

434
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 6: terminology that's out there, but it would be hysterical if

435
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 6: they decided to go. You know what, we love what

436
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 6: Ottawa was doing in the CFL, and in our homage

437
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 6: to Roulette, we're going to call them the Vegas Redblacks,

438
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 6: and that's how they're going to try and approach things.

439
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 6: But I have to imagine they'll tap into the rich

440
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 6: history of this state. They'll find something creative. And the

441
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 6: bottom line is this that you hope it would be

442
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 6: more apropos than naming an NBA team in the Great

443
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 6: State of Utah the Jazz, instead of changing their nickname

444
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 6: when they move from.

445
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 3: New Orleans the Vegas Damns to the Hoover dam I

446
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: don't know.

447
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 4: Potentially silver makes sense, right, It's the Silver State.

448
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 6: You have to think they're gonna get somewhat creative. Although again,

449
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 6: I mean it is the NBA and this is a

450
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 6: team that launched, I mean a league that launched an

451
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 6: expansion franchise out of Charlotte with the Bobcats nickname. So

452
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 6: I don't put anything past them in terms of what

453
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 6: direction they want to go with ownership.

454
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: Let's just call them the Flush and they'll just be

455
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 3: the last I like that. I like, why not? You know,

456
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: it's something chaotic like that.

457
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 4: Synergy.

458
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: All right, let's get into the NCAA tournament. Todd chalky

459
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: for the most part, but the plucky Iowa Hawk guys

460
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: as well as the Texas Longhorns too, really down and

461
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: out kind of mid major franchises making some noise here

462
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: in the tournament. But you know, going forward, you know

463
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 3: how much money has shifted or is it still just

464
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 3: the the top heavy.

465
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 6: When I think Cinderella, gentleman. In college athletics, it is

466
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 6: always the orange down in Austin.

467
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

468
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 6: Yesh for me, you know, the little sisters of the poor,

469
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 6: knowing that Texas has to scrape by an nil just

470
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 6: to be able to go out there and field the team.

471
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 6: But credit to the Longhorns, they've done what we've seen

472
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 6: in the past day and college basketball, going from those

473
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 6: first four games, riding the momentum, winning three games in

474
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 6: five days and find themselves catching seven and a half

475
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 6: against Perdue in San Jose tomorrow night. Not a game

476
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 6: that I'm overly interested in. I think the late game

477
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 6: in that region is much more fascinating. With Arkansas and Arizona,

478
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 6: you can make the case that if you switch head

479
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 6: coaches between High Point in Arkansas last week, given the

480
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 6: athletic advantage and the better basketball players that Arkansas had,

481
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 6: that they probably beat High Point by forty So coach

482
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 6: cal remains the great equalizer. But on the flip side

483
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 6: of things, look, Tommy Lloyd doesn't have a very decorated

484
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 6: resume by any stretch of the imagination. So let's see

485
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 6: if Arkansas can get shots the fall from the perimeter.

486
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 6: Two teams that play a little bit more old fashion

487
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 6: and that they don't rely on the perimeter jumper. I

488
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 6: think the dog makes a little bit of sense. I

489
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 6: feel a seven and a half eight is relatively fair

490
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 6: to your point. Harm though, when you look at where

491
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 6: we've seen a shift in terms of odds and the probabilities,

492
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 6: that is in the South Region with the Houston Cougars,

493
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 6: with Florida getting knocked out, you see Houston's odds that

494
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 6: we're as high as fifteen or sixteen to one before

495
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 6: the tournament now kind of down in that seven to

496
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 6: one range. You have to think that whoever wins the

497
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 6: Houston Illinois game has the inside track to getting through

498
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 6: the Iowa Nebraska winner and look, this is the Cougar's

499
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 6: program that's been here before, just hasn't been able to

500
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 6: climb to the mountain top. This provides as good a

501
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 6: path as any with a little bit of home court

502
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 6: advantage working in their favor. So I wish I had

503
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 6: a very strong, compelling angle in any of the quartet

504
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 6: games tomorrow. But harm you're gonna have to lead into

505
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 6: Jared's expertise to try and get you to the window

506
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 6: with a side or total before we get to Friday.

507
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 4: Oh wow, that's that's dangerous. I will say this.

508
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 5: With the Darius Aykoff, you know news of him signing it,

509
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 5: I think it was a deal with Reebod Rebound. I'm

510
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 5: waiting for the Todd Furman shoot deal to become a thing.

511
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's.

512
00:24:59,480 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 4: A New Bounce.

513
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not sure anybody's going to be buying those,

514
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 6: but New Balance would be nice. I mean, you need

515
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 6: the extra art support when you get to be a

516
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 6: hard age. But there's a good chance if they ever

517
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 6: launch a shoe with my namesake on it, Jared, it's

518
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 6: going to end up in some of the Third world

519
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 6: countries around the globe, where it seems that don't actually

520
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 6: win the major sports championships go with T shirts. So

521
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 6: there's this thing possibility if you find yourself while walking

522
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 6: around in some of those far away places, that may

523
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 6: be able to find a new balance or a six

524
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 6: sneaker with.

525
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 4: My name on it.

526
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 3: It's funny because we're talking early ah nice, the chaos

527
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 3: of people our age also deciding they're going to run

528
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: marathons and stuff.

529
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 6: And I said, no, you have to harm you have

530
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 6: to be able to push yourself outside that comfort zone.

531
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 6: I mean, Jared can give you all of his health

532
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 6: and nutrition tips. For a guy that gets out there

533
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 6: pounds the pavement at the crack of dawn when it's

534
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 6: one hundred and thirty seven degrees outside, I figure it's

535
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 6: just a matter of time before he turns into an

536
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 6: ultra marathon or and he's out there running to from

537
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 6: bad Water in Death Valley, you know, one hundred and

538
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 6: thirty plus miles with the wide range of temperatures that

539
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 6: take to accomplish one of the most difficult marathons in

540
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 6: the world.

541
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll be like Tom Hanks Shade of Orange in

542
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 3: Forrest Gump before it's all said and done. With the

543
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 3: long hair to boot all.

544
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 5: Right, irony is I'll be up at five thirty am

545
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 5: tomorrow running at Red Rock.

546
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: That is a true state.

547
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 3: There you go run so sing a couple of bars

548
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 3: at Red Rock like you're the Moody Blues. While you're

549
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 3: at it. NFL draft, right, Orlowsky makes some headlines with

550
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 3: all of the Mendoza Simpson fun and excitement. While we

551
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 3: don't expect for a second that the odds or anything

552
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 3: shifted away from Mendoz at number one, does it do

553
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 3: anything for Simpson's average draft stock or anything as we

554
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 3: go down the draft order in the first round.

555
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 6: I mean, look, I know he's not here to defend

556
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 6: himself tonight, but I figured that Smith would be first

557
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 6: in line to buy a Ty Simpson jersey, knowing that

558
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 6: the Jets are going to be the first NFL team

559
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 6: to arrange a private workout with Ty Simpson. They have

560
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 6: a pick second. Overall, I don't think they'll use that

561
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 6: draft capital there. Maybe it's sixteen, but it is interesting,

562
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 6: and you know, forgive me, guys, because I wish I

563
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 6: remembered the account I saw on social media circulating some

564
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 6: of the numbers. The checkered pass we've seen of quarterbacks

565
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 6: that go in the first round that don't even average

566
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 6: three hundred yards passing in their final season on a

567
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 6: college campus. And while the list isn't extremely long, JJ

568
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 6: McCarthy is the last to become from that cloth. You

569
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 6: begin to wonder if Fernando Mendoza or Ty Simpson can

570
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 6: step up and raise their level of play. Look, Simpson

571
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 6: is a guy that I think if he's around the

572
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 6: middle of the second round makes a world of sense.

573
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 6: We saw what he was capable of doing when he

574
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 6: was healthy before the back injury kind of slowed him down.

575
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 6: Fernando Mendoza plays with the heart of a champion. But

576
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 6: you wonder how an organization like the Vegas Raiders can

577
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 6: derail anyone's career regardless of what kind of potential you

578
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 6: bring out here. So I remain very skeptical on what

579
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 6: the quarterbacks that are available in this draft are going

580
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 6: to be able to do for their respective franchises. It

581
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 6: does feel like the one can't miss prospect that will

582
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 6: go in the top ten. Is it a position that

583
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 6: you don't really have to spend a ton of draft capital, That,

584
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 6: of course being Jeremiah Love, the talented running back out

585
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 6: of Notre Dame.

586
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is interesting with the Jets with the two

587
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 5: first round picks because they've got three in next year's draft.

588
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 4: The next year's draft is I think, you.

589
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 5: Know, light years ahead of that of this year's draft

590
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 5: in terms of the quarterback position. I don't think the

591
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 5: Jets are going to take a quarterback in the first

592
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 5: round this year. I think they go Bailey at two,

593
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 5: and then I think they go somewhere else, you know,

594
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 5: later in the draft, because you kind of want to

595
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 5: keep your chips for next year, right Tom, And that's

596
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 5: what I would think.

597
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 6: I mean, you bring in a veteran quarterback when they're

598
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 6: familiar with in Geno Smith, who can keep the seat warm,

599
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 6: can help the Jets win three games and have them

600
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 6: drafting again inside the top five, or maybe they fall

601
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 6: in love with one of the quarterbacks, whether it's an

602
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 6: arch maining, whether it's a siege. Actually I don't think CJ.

603
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 6: Car is eligible. But you know a number of guys

604
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 6: that look to your point, are to have a little

605
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 6: bit more in the way of options that'll be coming

606
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 6: out next year's draft compared to what's on the table now,

607
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 6: So you always want to kind of take that best

608
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 6: player available philosophy more so than drafting on need and

609
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 6: for an organization like the Jets and the Raiders to

610
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 6: a lesser and there are a whole lot of needs

611
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 6: that these teams need before they're really going to be

612
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 6: able to be competitive in their respective divisions and conferences.

613
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: Former Odds Baker, a Caesar analyst for CBS Sports, HQ,

614
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 3: Sports Line, a little Bit of TSN Sports, calls himself

615
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: a part time hack. It's our guy. Todd Ferman at

616
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: Todd Furman on Twitter where you find him joins every week.

617
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 3: All right, baseball for a real quick before we tap Outgers.

618
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 6: Ross Tredy Frost try to get you with the music.

619
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 6: He tried to play me right off like it was

620
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 6: the Academy Awards. Here.

621
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: It's like you were the third person to try to

622
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: speak on behalf of winning an award. Nope, we're done,

623
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 3: We're out of this. Let's do another eighteen minute comedy

624
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: bit that doesn't work. Yeah, that was the Oscars this year.

625
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: For those that missed it, you didn't miss much. Dodgers

626
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 3: are the field, Todd.

627
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take the field just because so many things

628
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 6: that can go all off and do a Major League Baseball.

629
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 6: I know, revisit this clip. About six and a half

630
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 6: months from now, the Dodgers will open as a nine

631
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 6: dollars favorite over whoever comes out of the American League

632
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 6: is a sacrificial land. But that's just the way things work. Look,

633
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 6: if I was trying to take a value proposition, it's

634
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 6: not going to be in the futures market. On the

635
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 6: National League side, I think a team that's intriguing is

636
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 6: the Kansas City Royals. Decent staff, they move in the

637
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 6: fences at Kaufman Field. They have a middle of the

638
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 6: lineup that I think can be quite formidable in a

639
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 6: division that may be amongst one of the weakest in

640
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 6: baseball in the American League Central. So I think the Royals,

641
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 6: right around fifteen or sixteen to one to win the

642
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 6: American League, can be a team that comes from off

643
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 6: the pace to maybe surprise teams like the Blue Jays

644
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 6: and the Mariners, and of course my beloved Yankees, who

645
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 6: don't feel like they need to do anything in free

646
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 6: agency anymore because Aaron Judge and the clutch is all

647
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 6: you need when it comes to driving and runs with

648
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 6: ducks on the pond.

649
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 3: You're talking about his Zo for four strike Yeah, with strikeouts.

650
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 6: Big look, Judge is credit how a.

651
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 4: Four strikeouts in a game all year?

652
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 6: I mean the big thing for Judge, you going to

653
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 6: do swing in to the top of the ninth to

654
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 6: avoid going zero for five with five strikeouts. So I

655
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 6: applaud him looking out for that stat line and trying

656
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 6: to make sure he can bolster his MVP candidacy.

657
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: There is he's best. It's at Todd Furman where you

00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 3: But it's one that really will make you double clutch

717
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 3: and scratch your head when you think of prices realized

718

730
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: with you tonight as we talk about the NBA. Some

731
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: of the Adam Silver chatter from earlier today and all

732
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 3: the goings on there at the beginning of the Major

733
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: League Baseball season, trying to find some angles in the

734
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 3: new ABS system. All of that still to come as

735
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 3: we wrap up the show, Jared, But excuse me something

736
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 3: that caught my attention, because you know, I love the

737
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 3: world of memorabilia sports, sports cards and historic items. Right

738
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 3: we're talking like game used bats and jerseys and all

739
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 3: of that fun stuff. But the prop store auctions that

740
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: come up with Hollywood memorabilia take me into a whole

741
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 3: other place. And you know, we we celebrate films and

742
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 3: chaos on this show quite a bit, you know, anything

743
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 3: big Lebowski related finds and some of the films of

744
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 3: that nature. Well, ace Ventura also one of those that

745
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: finds its way onto the screens once the night action

746
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 3: has finished, and the mechanical rhino from the birthing scene

747
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 3: went up for all as part of the latest from

748
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 3: the Prop Store. There were two items that really caught

749
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 3: my eye, this being one of them. The other from

750
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 3: From My Money, one of the top five movies ever

751
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 3: made going back to nineteen seventy five. In a second,

752
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 3: but the birthing mechanical rhino was estimated to go off

753
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 3: somewhere between six to eight thousand dollars. Wow, final strike

754
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 3: price sixty kow, which means some folks have a lot

755
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: of money to try to RecA.

756
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 4: What do you do with that? Where do you put off?

757
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 3: You have a lot of space and put it in

758
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 3: a zoo.

759
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 4: You've put it in the zoo.

760
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 5: I remember I saw that movie in theaters. I think

761
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 5: I wasn't in the mid nineties. I was probably ten

762
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 5: years old, but.

763
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's one of the iconic scenes, and

764
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 3: certainly for Jim Carrey, one of those big moments. And

765
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: and the fact that that goes off for sixty k tonight.

766
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 3: And then there was the fishing rod from Quint's boat

767
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 3: in Jaws went for over two and twenty five thousand dollars.

768
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 4: I did not see that one.

769
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: Now, I was tracking. No, no, no, that's why I

770
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: you know what I did for the fiftieth anniversary.

771
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 4: Oh good point me and.

772
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: Probably about twelve people on a very late night show

773
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 3: after we finished here at Fox Sports.

774
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 4: I don't even think I've ever seen that movie in full.

775
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, You're fired.

776
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably that's one I should probably.

777
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 3: Seekind of the end of you. There's that's it.

778
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 4: I've seen Big Lebowski though, there you.

779
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 3: Go, so you at least had that one going. But no,

780
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 3: it's uh, you know, Jaws for me was one I

781
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 3: saw early and often and probably I gotta go see

782
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: the There's a play that Robert Shaw's son has written

783
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 3: about the making of the film as well. Interesting and

784
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: that makes a run. But it's one of those as

785
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 3: we get ready for the next in the line of

786
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 3: baseball hallmarks, because there's so many milestones getting ready to

787
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: be approached by Otani and Judge and and others in

788
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 3: terms of home runs and strikeouts and whatever else. But

789
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 3: it's also curious. The Red Sox have done a thing

790
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 3: where you'll be able to buy uh game used bases

791
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 3: this year.

792
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 4: That's pretty cool. I'm all for memorabilia.

793
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 5: I have some pretty cool stuff that my dad passed

794
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 5: down to me that, you know, is older stuff that

795
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 5: I would have never purchased.

796
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 4: You know. It's more, you know, nostalgic. I don't. If

797
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 4: I had more money, I would buy more stuff.

798
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 5: But I definitely think there's something to the It's really

799
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 5: about how it makes you feel, like like that, to me,

800
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 5: money comes, money goes. How does something make you feel

801
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 5: Whereas that's where I question the the Jim Carrey Rhino

802
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 5: purchase because.

803
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 4: It's just it's such an it's such an insane seed.

804
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 4: It's one of the most insane scenes maybe in any

805
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 4: movie ever. I remember again, I remember watching it in theaters.

806
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 5: That's gotta be there's gotta be some richdiculous ace vent

807
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 5: or a super freak out there that's just going absolutely

808
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 5: bananas the night with that.

809
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 3: But that's just curious. I'm wondering if it ends up

810
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 3: in a collection that's already got stuff from the Mask

811
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 3: and from the Riddler and and some of the other rules,

812
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: and this just becomes part of a uh an in

813
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 3: house Jim Carrey museum and stuff like that, and then they.

814
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 4: Start charging people to make all the stuff. Ye know.

815
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: It's kind of like back in the day, you know,

816
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 3: and physical media is making a return, right We're seeing

817
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 3: records being sold by the billions again and and such

818
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 3: and DVDs.

819
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 5: You know, there's an active marketplace for old copies and

820
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 5: everything else comes new again.

821
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 3: That's even you know, the the old tape recorders and

822
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 3: whatever else have their second lives. But just the idea

823
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 3: of once a lot of times like well, how many

824
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 3: times are we going to watch that movie again? Why

825
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 3: do I need to buy it?

826
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 4: Uh?

827
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 3: And certainly now with streaming services.

828
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 5: Books, I buy a book and I read half of it,

829
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 5: and then I put it down, and then it just

830
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 5: sits on my bookshelf for and I'm like, why did

831
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 5: I buy this book?

832
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 4: I don't even like it.

833
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 5: But if folks come over, you look very well read,

834
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 5: I look very sharp. Well, actually, it's even worse than that.

835
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 5: It's so vain I do the I have the bookshelf

836
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 5: behind my desk, so it's on camera whenever I see

837
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 5: I haven't even I haven't.

838
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 4: Even read half the books that are behind me. Guys,

839
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 4: I don't know you. Full disclosure right now here is

840
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 4: the best.

841
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 6: Though.

842
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 3: Once upon a time, when I lived in Upstate New York,

843
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 3: I would do video hits for fantasy football segments and

844
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 3: general sports segments out of the same office setup that

845
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 3: they would have Hillary Clinton and other people doing like

846
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: the press and stuff. And so they have these old

847
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 3: wall of they were law books, and some of them

848
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 3: were obscure like writings, and if you read, like, we

849
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 3: literally would have to move some of the books, like

850
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 3: we can't have that on camera. Yeah, you guys didn't

851
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: notice this when you shot on Sunday, Like, look what

852
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 3: this says? And I can't even repeat it on air,

853
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 3: like I think it's teo graphic deal with different aspects

854
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 3: of criminal laws. So there, there you have it. You

855
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 3: never know where that's going to roll through.

856
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 4: It's not that I don't want to read the books.

857
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 5: No, I just haven't gotten around to them yet, and

858
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 5: I feel weird having them on my desk that I

859
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 5: haven't read them. But where else am I going to

860
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 5: put them? To put books on a bookshelf, that's where

861
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 5: they go.

862
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 3: You start and move on like me sorting a couple

863
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 3: of bocks to the trading cans.

864
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 4: You get bored, really.

865
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 3: And then they get piled up into the other pile

866
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 3: and before you know it, you're buying something that people

867
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 3: refer to as a quote unquote pile. Hyder's that's a

868
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: nice piece of furniture. It's really just all the stuff. No,

869
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 3: that's well, but that's good. Sometimes it's uh, you got

870
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 3: you gotta fake it till you make it. And I

871
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 3: spoke it wasn't the Red Sox, it's the Brave. So

872
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 3: if you're in Atlanta and you're looking for a game

873
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 3: use base, they'll start a blinking light until you when

874
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 3: it's available. He's Jared Smith and for Jason, I am

875
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 3: Mike Carmen and we are rolling on here at Fox

876

877
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 3: tournament as a sweet sick
