00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: should be. I can rarely remember a week with so

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: many sports headlines. Heading into tonight's show, We're need to

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: get to all of them. We've got NFL draft stuff,

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: and of course, one of the biggest questions facing the

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: nation truly a constitutional crisis. We don't where will should

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: Dors Sanders be drafted. We'll get to that a little

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: bit later. We got NBA stuff, we got Master stuff.

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: Later on, we got brand new fool what my name,

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: But we have to begin with what I truly now

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: believe is a genuine inflection point in this newly new fangled, wacky,

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: wild wild West world called the NIL Portal. Starting Thursday,

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: was reported that Tennessee, well, former Tennessee quarterback Nico Yama

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: Liava was embroiled in a pretty pretty fiery contract contract negotiation,

22
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: A contract negotiation with University of Tennessee over as anil deal.

23
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: Now it's been reported he has a two point four

24
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: million dollar deal annually, but his reps were seeking to

25
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: increase this to about four million. And why not. According

26
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: to Paul Finbaum, he's the sixth rated quarterback in the SEC.

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: But I digress.

28
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: Now.

29
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: This demand led to a Liava saying, what the hell,

30
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: I don't need to go to spring practice. I think

31
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: I'll just take the day off and that started to

32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: cost speculation about his potential transfer. Back in the day.

33
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: It used to call that a holdout, but then he

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: was set it at the Natural Airport. Some rumors are

35
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: he was headed back to LA where he's from, perhaps

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: talking to ECLA. And what this has done now is

37
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 2: created a situation a dividing line opinions among fans and analysts.

38
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: There are some that would argue he was overpaid giving

39
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: his performance last season two point four million. I think

40
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: that's more in Brock perdigod, while there are others arguas

41
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: potential justifies the higher salary. So what we had here

42
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 2: is real genuine drama, but what it has done is sparked,

43
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: I believe a much broader debate on the effects of

44
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: NIL deals on college sports, questioning whether they align with

45
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: or they undermine what the values are and the traditional

46
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: values are with who you're working for and what your

47
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: objectives are and the world known as once known as

48
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: college athletics. So fast forward, Tennessee has moved on from

49
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: quarterback Nico after he decided to miss meetings and miss

50
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: practice Friday. Josh Hype will confirm that Saturday. He said, quote,

51
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: it's the state of college football. At the end of

52
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: the day, no one is ever bigger than the program

53
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: that includes me too. Now, apparently they had been negotiating

54
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: a new Iile deal. Remember the transfer portal for football

55
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: opens up Wednesday, April sixteenth, and we're going to get

56
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: into this much heavier next Saturday show. And a little

57
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: later in the show, I'm going to talk about you know,

58
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: the already what twenty two hundred basketball players that have

59
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: entered the portal, et cetera, et cetera. And you know,

60
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: once Nico misspracticed miss meetings, there was the communication ad

61
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: for all intents and purposes ended and he entered the

62
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: portal and Nico did not attend Saturday spring game. Now,

63
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: he was reportedly once the highest paid college quarterback in

64
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 2: the country, but as is the case, several have passed

65
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: him up. The dude's only twenty years old and his reps,

66
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: and this is slay, His reps were looking for a

67
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: deal that would pay him four million a year. He's

68
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: got three years of eligibility left, by the way, so

69
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: welcome in red shirt freshman Jake Murklinger and true freshman

70
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: George McIntyre. They're the only other scholarship quarterbacks in Tennessee's roster.

71
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: The good news is Mercklinger completed sixty six for the

72
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: son of his passes last year, but only threw nine

73
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: of them for forty eight yards, So Tennessee, you're going

74
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: to be breaking in a quarterback wet behind the years.

75
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: Nico appeared in eighteen games since joining Tennessee, through for

76
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: just under three thousand yards totally un touchdowns, five interceptions,

77
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: and he's probably most remembered, I would say, likely for

78
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: his performance against Ohio State. He got chased around pretty good.

79
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: He was fourteen to thirty one fo one hundred and

80
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: four yards and they got smoke forty two to seventeen.

81
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: He competed, but he didn't set the world on fire.

82
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: But the irony here is, according to Bill Bender of

83
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: The Sporting News, he believes there's going to be a

84
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: swarm of teams that are going to take a hard

85
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: look at Nico as he shops for a new home.

86
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: And the question is could how State one of them?

87
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: And Bender said, quote, it sounds crazy, but he won't

88
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: rule out Ryan Day. Yeah, the Buckeyes won a national

89
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: championship last year with a first year transfer coquarterre back

90
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: and Will Howard. And from what I understand, the Buckeye

91
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: folks were somewhat impressed with Nico and their loss to

92
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: the buck Eyes. And you know, the Ohio State has

93
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks on their roster right now that are fighting

94
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: for the job, Julian Sayan and Lincoln kliin Holes, but

95
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: neither one apparently as the sort of themselves. So if

96
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: Ohio State were to make this move, they'd probably would

97
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: be looking at Nico as a one year rental for

98
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: a national championship run again next year. By the way,

99
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: if you're scoring at home, and I hope you are,

100
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: Ohio State is the odds on favorite here in Las

101
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: Vegas by the betting markets to win the national championship. Again,

102
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: don't rule out what Bill Bender said, crazy your things

103
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: have happened apparently from the people you talk to in

104
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: Columbus right now, Julian Sign would be the starting quarterback.

105
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: He struggled in the spring practice and it was very concerning.

106
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: And the other kid kind host has been very up

107
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: and down. So not a warm and fuzzy feeling. You

108
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: take that into consideration. Not that far fetch for Ohio

109
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: State to, you know, perhaps snatch up Yamo Diyava and

110
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: maybe you let one of the other two qbs sit

111
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: out for a year and roll with him in twenty

112
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: twenty six this listen. I don't want to dwell on

113
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: this too much right now because it's all new, but

114
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I think we are at an

115
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: inflection point because his teammates, his coaches, they're all depending

116
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: on him. And you know, two point four million is

117
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: nothing to sneeze that for a twenty year old. I

118
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: believe he's going to enter the NFL draft after next year,

119
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: forgo his final two years of eligibility, and so I'm

120
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: not so sure what his hurry is to get that

121
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: extra million six. You know, but I don't something about

122
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: this doesn't feel right. You can draw your own conclusions,

123
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: but I would just say that we're now in We're

124
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: now in very much uncharted territory. I truly believe we're

125
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: very much in uncharted territory as far as this NIO

126
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: portal thing goes. We'll see where the story happens. The

127
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: other goofball story this week, although more news is coming out.

128
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: Michael Malone, the head coach of the Denver Nuggets, got fired.

129
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: We'll talk a little bit more about that with Mark

130
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: Madina coming up here in about ten minutes. And uh,

131
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: I guess you should, you know, we should feel surprised

132
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 2: because you just won a championship and you know, the

133
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 2: year before last. But if you take a look at

134
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: this pattern in the last six years, of the last

135
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: seven coaches to win the NBA Championship, including now Mike

136
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: Malone Michael Malone as he likes to be called, five

137
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 2: have been fired Malone, Mike Budenholzer with the Bucks last

138
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: year after winning it. Frank Vogel, Remember Frank Vogel won

139
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: a championship with the Lakers, and they're on their second

140
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: coach since him. Nick Nurse is the Toronto Raptors back

141
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen, and then Tyleru of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

142
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: Five and the last seven coaches to win the NBA championship.

143
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if I signed on next week with Mark

144
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: Medinna if the news beat Joel Missoula got fired in Boston.

145
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 2: For those of you who listened selectively, we're just kidding

146
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: around here. Okay. By the way, Steve Kerr, he's won

147
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: four of them, he's still around. Joel Missoula, they're the

148
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: other two that won the last seven championships. They're still

149
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: gainfully employed. But it's not just.

150
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: The NBA.

151
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: Of the last six National League Managers of the Year,

152
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: five were fired within two seasons or less now. Pat

153
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: Murphy of the Milwaukee Brewers was manager of the Year

154
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: last year. He's still gainfully employed. But Skip Schumacher was

155
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 2: manager of the Year in Miami in twenty twenty three,

156
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: got fired at Dan of the last year. Buck Showa

00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: end of twenty twenty three. Gabe Kapler, manager of the

159
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,520

Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. He was fired two years later in

166
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. So where am I going with that? Hell,

167

00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: know Mark, I'm getting to be a broken record because

198
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what the news cycle brings

199
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: the following week. But I've already looked ahead in the

200
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: crystal ball and when you sign on next Saturday, we'll

201
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: be reporting why Joe Missoulu was fired by the Boston

202
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: Celtics and leave at the playoffs.

203
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 6: But I, oh wow, let's let's uh say, Kenny Atkinson,

204
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 6: maybe he was a Coach of the Year candidate, but

205
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 6: they lose game in Cleveland and something happens.

206
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 2: You trump me, you want up me? They're a big fellow.

207
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: Or how about how about you'll get your drafted or

208
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: traded for Lebron How about that?

209
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 6: Oh, that would that would be a game changer, that would.

210
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: Guarantee the Lakers a championship.

211
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 6: How about all the end the Lakers say, you know what,

212
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 6: Luca Dodgers, good riddance, We'll trade you back to Dallas.

213
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: Wow, we're having some fun with this. By the way,

214
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 2: just so the folks know, neither one of us have

215
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 2: been drinking, So I relax, everybody. Hey, let's start with

216
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: the Mike Malone thing, because the narrative initially was quizzical

217
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: and people were nonplussed. But I think more information has

218
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 2: come out now, so why don't you give us the

219
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: chronology there?

220
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 6: Well? I think, yeah, no doubt more information comes out,

221
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 6: but I still don't think it was the right decision.

222
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 6: I mean, what happened here is the Denver Nuggets. They

223
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 6: have been good, but not great. They've been inconsistent all season,

224
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 6: even though Nikola Jokic has been remarkably inconsistent with averaging

225
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 6: a triple double and possibly win another MVP Award. But

226
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 6: why there's been inconsistency Lots of injuries in Jamal Murray

227
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 6: and Aaron Gordon. Jamal is still hurt. You know, They've

228
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 6: had a lot of ups and downs, so trying to

229
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 6: lean on their young guys after having a lot of

230
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,239
Speaker 6: good veterans as supporting casts as part of that championship

231
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 6: run two years ago, and Calvin Booth the general manager

232
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 6: and Michael Malone the head coach, they weren't seeing eye

233
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 6: eye because Calvin Booth was trying to put further investment

234
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 6: in the young players, and Michael Malone is like a

235
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 6: lot of head coaches, they tend to trust veterans, and

236
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 6: so things came in an impass. But I think here's

237
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 6: where this was the wrong decision. One, you don't make

238
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 6: this kind of decision just before the playoffs start if

239
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 6: you're going to do what you do when the offseason

240
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 6: has number two, I don't think that they are the

241
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 6: right people to blame here. I mean Calvin Booth that's

242
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 6: taken marching orders from ownership to find ways of trim

243
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 6: costs because the NBA has fit all these new rules

244
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 6: with second apron penalties. So he's done that. Now there's

245
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 6: a fair criticism. Sometimes he's hit on some young guys,

246
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 6: sometimes he's missed. But with Michael Malone doesn't make any sense.

247
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 6: He's been the same coach that guide them to a championship,

248
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 6: even though they've been you know, may have had play

249
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 6: frustrations about his voice. That happens all the time, and

250
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 6: so if they were going to make a decision, should

251
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 6: have been until once the offseason hits and showed just

252
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 6: been Calvin Booth, because now all you're doing is creating

253
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 6: more chaos. And Nikola Jokic, I have to stress, hasn't

254
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 6: given any signal that he doesn't want to stay in Denver.

255
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 6: But when you're doing all these dysfunctional things, when you

256
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 6: have a transcendent superstar in his prime, I mean you

257
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 6: can connect the dots here. It's not a good strategy

258
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 6: to try to keep not only maximizing everything you have

259
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 6: with the star player, but convincing that that's the right

260
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 6: organization to want to be with moving forward.

261
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: A couple takeaways. It's been reported that David Adelman, who's

262
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: going to at least for now assume the head coaching

263
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: rule for at least during the playoffs, is actually very

264
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: respected among the players, and the temperature in the room

265
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: has decreased quite a bit. The other thing, too, is

266
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: how much truth is there to the rumor or that's

267
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: which rumor, the allegation that the way Michael Malone elected

268
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: to use Russell Westbrook was the source of the frustration

269
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: between him and Calvin Booth.

270
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 6: Well, two things here with David Adaman. Yes, he's a

271
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 6: very well respected coach. You know, his dad was the

272
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 6: late Rick Adelman. He's a great head coach, hall of famer.

273
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 6: So I think within that whole confines the transition won't

274
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 6: be as drastic as if you know, they hired someone

275
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 6: from the outside just before the playoffs started. As far

276
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 6: as you know Michael Malone with Russell Westbrook, I think

277
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 6: that's just one of many examples. You know, Russell Westbrook

278
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 6: has been, as we know, frankly a journeyman ever since

279
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 6: the debac with the Lakers. You've seen flashes of what

280
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 6: makes them great. But you've also seen a lot of

281
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 6: things that explain why he's been a journeyman. But head

282
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 6: coaches tend to trust veterans, So it's not just at RUSS,

283
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 6: it's about the entire dynamic here or Michael Malone, he

284
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 6: puts trust in veteran players than some of the young players.

285
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 6: Now there are some exceptions, Christian Brown, for example, he's

286
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 6: been a really good young player, But when you're looking

287
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 6: at the rest of the roster here, Michael Malones really

288
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 6: relied on as veteran players because that's what he coaches do.

289
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 6: But I think there was a feeling that it was

290
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 6: going to the extreme that because it was a veteran player,

291
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 6: it was almost a way to try to undermine Calvin

292
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 6: Booth here. But again I understand the frustration that both

293
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 6: sides would have here, and the reality is I think

294
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 6: of ownership, you know, showed support around this whole situation.

295
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 6: There wouldn't have been that kind of environment because again

296
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 6: Calvin Booth has taken orders here to try to trim

297
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 6: costs because of salary cap penalties, and so I think

298
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 6: with that there should have been a stronger message from

299
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 6: ownership and showing more patience and grace toward both parties,

300
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 6: so that you know they wanted to kind of have

301
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 6: these these you know, tension field moments throughout the season

302
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 6: that would become untenable.

303
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 2: Talk with Martin Medina Medina Magic every Saturday night here

304
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Fraders Show, our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru.

305
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: You mentioned in your narrative there, ever so gently, the

306
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: word MVP. I typically don't much care about that conversation,

307
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: but we're going to invoke it tonight for a couple

308
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: of reasons. First, I'm quite sure that Kendrick Perkins will

309
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: lose his mind if Nicola Jokic wins it again, it'd

310
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: be four out of five years. It would be that

311
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: as it may. If I have, if I had a vote,

312
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: and who knows, maybe they'll give me one, I probably

313
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: would have to give it to Shay Gilgs for one

314
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 2: simple reason. This team won almost seventy games, and they

315
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: were without Isaiah Hartenstein and Check Holmgren for some formative

316
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 2: parts of the season, as it were, and he seemed

317
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 2: to really pick up the slack and that's the kind

318
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: of thing an MVP does makes everybody around him better.

319
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: But also puts you on on your back. Uh when

320
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 2: when you know, when when things aren't going well. You

321
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 2: can make the same case for Nikola Jokich managed you know,

322
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: average a triple double this year. But I think I'd

323
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: have to give the nod.

324
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 7: To s g A.

325
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 2: Who wins it? And who would you vote for?

326
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, this is going to be a tight race.

327
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 6: But here here I'm just going to pass some information

328
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 6: along it. Okay, I did a column rap on sports saying,

329
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 6: you know exactly almost what you said that I would

330
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 6: choose Shay gilgis Alexander for all the reasons. How you

331
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 6: outlined that he's races game another level. Uh, the Thunder

332
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 6: first place in the West and even though Nikola Jokich

333
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 6: is a triple double machine and the Nuggets are still

334
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, and yeah, they had all this turmoil

335
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 6: that we talked about. Uh, the Thunder could have very well,

336
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 6: you know, underachieved here. They had overlapping injuries as you mentioned,

337
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 6: which had holmegern Isaiah Hartenstein. You know, they were they

338
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 6: are still a young team. And when you're looking at

339
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 6: the depth that they have, they had that depth partly

340
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 6: because of shake Yellow is Alexander with the gravity that

341
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 6: he creates and how improved he is as a playmaker.

342
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 6: And here's what's interesting, Bernie, I think that this is

343
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 6: going to be a tight race. But I talked to about,

344
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 6: let's say, three assistant coaches and a few scouts earlier

345
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 6: this week. They all said, shake goldus Alexander. So I'm

346
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 6: not going to say it's lopside because that's a really small,

347
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 6: stable sized I thought it was really striking that every

348
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 6: basketball personnel person I talked to, while they did say yeah,

349
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 6: it's a tight race, and I understand Jokic and all

350
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 6: the counterpoints they went, they wound up choosing SGA basically

351
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 6: for the same reasons that you outlined.

352
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: Well, they have one more games, they do have the

353
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 2: number one seed, and uh, you know, I I think

354
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: this is something we could go back and forth on

355
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 2: for a long time. If you took Guesguf Oklahoma City,

356
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: they'd still win fifty games. I think if he took

357
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: you'll catch off of Denver. I don't know what they do,

358
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: but but look, it's one of those imponderables. I think

359
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 2: these are highly subjective, and I do think because Jokic

360
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 2: has won three to the last four, that'll work against him.

361
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 2: Am I wrong? Yeah?

362
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 3: I know.

363
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 6: Howard beckover at The Ringer did a really good story

364
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 6: about the whole idea with voter fatigue. I don't want

365
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 6: to say it doesn't exist, but he's looked at the

366
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 6: history and it really suggests that voter fatigue isn't a

367
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 6: significant variable among voters. Again, not saying it doesn't exist,

368
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 6: but I only think it's a primary factor. I think

369
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 6: that for the people who are going to vote for SGA,

370
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 6: it's basically they're having the same thought that you had

371
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 6: that you know, he's taken his game to another level.

372
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 6: They want to reward a team the player on the

373
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 6: team with the best record. They're also mindful that if

374
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 6: he's now on the team, they would look much different.

375
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 6: And also maybe because they're having to split hairs between

376
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 6: two really good candidates with Nikoli Jokic, they're looking at

377
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 6: you know what, This isn't necessarily his fault, but you

378
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 6: have to be able to help mitigate circumstances, and certainly

379
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 6: he has with his own performances, but he hasn't been

380
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 6: able to do that with elevating everyone else around him.

381
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 6: Obviously takes two to tango. Nikoli Hokich is a great playmaker.

382
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 6: So don't get me wrong. I think that's where you know,

383
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 6: the SGA supporters would would lean on. And I think

384
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 6: that the Jokic supporters would look at the numbers, the

385
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 6: triple double averages, the fact that you know, because of

386
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 6: all this turmoil, there's still a playoff team, and also

387
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 6: imagine if Jokic wasn't there what they would look like.

388
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 6: So what I'm gaining at here, Bernie is it's a

389
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 6: really tough decision, and it's put I think voters that

390
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 6: are going to actually be voting for this awards, ballt

391
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 6: and people around the league, coaches, executives in a position

392
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 6: that they're splitting hairs because Nikole Jokic and Shake Godsaw

393
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 6: was in a just two really great players that are

394
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 6: great MVP cans this season. I don't think that you

395
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: can say that for every single VP race.

396
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: That's very true. All right, I want to talk about

397
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: another mercurial team that I think a lot of people

398
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 2: are going to be really paying attention to this week.

399
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: And it's interesting because here we are on Sundays, the

400
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 2: final day of the NBA season, and Steph is called

401
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: the Warriors Clippers contest he's li liken it to a

402
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: game seven, which you know, you know, he may not

403
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 2: be wrong. But I want to talk about the Lakers

404
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 2: because if you look at their their arc this year,

405
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 2: in early January, they were basically five hundred, they were

406
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: like twenty and seventeen, and then they you know, they

407
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: were without brought Lebron for ten days and struggled. But

408
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: in their last thirty seven games, they've won twenty seven

409
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 2: and that equates to about a sixty win team. So

410
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 2: that may be who they are when the playoffs start.

411
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: Now set that aside, because the Clippers. I'm going to

412
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: come back to that. The Clippers play the Warriors in

413
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: Golden State. They tip off at about thirteen hours here.

414
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: Who do you expect to prevail on that game? Because

415
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: if the Warriors do, they'll be the sixth seed and

416
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: the Lakers and the Warriors would face off in round one,

417
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: which means you the Lebron's Steph is going home after

418
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: one round.

419
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be wild. Who I think wins between

420
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 6: the Clippers and the Warriors. Anything can happen here, but

421
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 6: I think because the Warriors are at home, they feel

422
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 6: the urgency to win, to try to avoid the playing

423
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 6: that they're going to prevail. Now, that might just set

424
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 6: them up to be the sixth seed as you mentioned.

425
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 6: And look, the Lakers are playing their best basketball, so

426
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 6: are the Warriors. But if I had to choose, even

427
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 6: with the Lakers having home court advantage, I would choose

428
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 6: the Warriors because They're defense is on a whole other level.

429
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 6: Draymond Green is being back to Draymond Green, and Jimmy

430
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 6: Butler is a great wing defender, and they got Kevon Looney,

431
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 6: he's a good rebounder. They have a lot of good

432
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 6: defensive depth. Jonathan Caminga has grown a lot, you know,

433
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 6: both sides of the ball. Here we're with the Lakers. Yes,

434
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 6: they definitely surpassed my expectations on how they would defend

435
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 6: without Anthony Davis, But I do wonder how that can

436
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 6: hold up in a seven game series. I don't have

437
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 6: any questions on Lebron James's health, the chemistry that he

438
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 6: has with Luca Doctrich, even some of the role players

439
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 6: with how well they can hit outside shots. But you know,

440
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 6: even in today's modern MBA, we're scorings at a premium,

441
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 6: you still need to defend at a high level. And

442
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 6: even though the Lakers have been doing that, the Warriors

443
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 6: are just in a whole other stratus there. So I

444
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 6: would choose the Warriors to win a first round matchup

445
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 6: their even without home court advantage.

446
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: That's my understanding. Also that even if the Warriors lose Sunday,

447
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 2: if Minnesota loses, the Warriors would capture the sixth seed.

448
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: Is that correct? And I'm gonna I got my notes here,

449
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: I'll look. That's what I'm understanding.

450
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, that is what I'm understanding too. Here, I mean,

451
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 6: what the here's what's happening. We only have clarity on

452
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 6: three teams. The thunder got the first seed, the Rockets

453
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 6: got the second seed, Lakers got the third seed. If

454
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 6: the Nuggets win, they got the fourth seed. The Clippers

455
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 6: they're basically fighting, likely for the fifth spot, but if

456
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 6: the Nuggets lose, they can move up to number four.

457
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 6: With the Warriors, they're mostly playing to secure that sixth

458
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 6: spot and avoid the play in. But look, you have

459
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 6: Minnesota that's tied with the Warriors. You have the Grizzlies

460
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 6: that are a game back. You have Sacramento they're completely out.

461
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 6: So you're talking about Minnesota and Memphis. If either of

462
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 6: those two teams win and the Warriors lose. Now they're

463
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 6: in the plans again, Clippers and Warriors. It's mostly winning

464
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 6: to maintain their position and also avoid the playing tournament.

465
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 6: But some of this also hinges on what Denver has

466
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 6: going for the Clippers and what Minnesota and Memphis have

467
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 6: going for the Warriors.

468
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: You got to believe both the Warriors and the Timberwolves

469
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: are kicking themselves. The Timberwolves gave up a twenty four

470
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: point lead to Milwaukee earlier this week, and then Harrison

471
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: Barnes really stuck it to the Warriors that game, winning

472
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: three point I'm sure you saw that Wednesday night beat

473
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: his former team.

474
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Warriors are really fright about that loss to

475
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 6: the Spurs. Exactly what you said. I mean, it's a

476
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 6: missopportunity the Spurs. You know, they're obviously a well respected team,

477
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 6: but without Victor one Binyama because of this health situation,

478
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 6: they've been in rebuild notes. So they had that game,

479
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 6: they coughed it up, and it very well could bite them.

480
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 6: But you know what, they still have one game left

481
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 6: to salvage everything. So I do expect them to go

482
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 6: on out and I think that they will walk away

483
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 6: with a win against the Clippers.

484
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: All Right, a couple more things here, just stay on

485
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: the Clippers sort of neatly tucked away that I don't

486
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 2: know if anybody really realizes the Lakers, even though they've

487
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 2: got a lot of press clippings this year for obvious reasons,

488
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 2: they've won exactly one more game than the Clippers the

489
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: entire season. Why don't the Clippers get any more love

490
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 2: when they're getting well?

491
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 6: I think it's always about wait and see mode. Are

492
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 6: you actually going to be healthy in the postseason, because

493
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 6: since Kawhi Leonard has joined the Clippers in twenty nineteen,

494
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 6: that hasn't been the case. I think the other thing,

495
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 6: even with having a good team, they have their own

496
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 6: arena out into a dome, They're never going to capture

497
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 6: the hearts and minds of fans in that way because

498
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 6: it's a Laker town. So I mean, that's really what

499
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 6: it comes down to. But look, it's very well possible

500
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 6: that for the first time ever, the Clippers and the

501
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 6: Lakers actually match up in the playoffs, and that would

502
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 6: be captivating in itself, because again, ever since Kawhi Leonard

503
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 6: joined the Clippers, it thought there was a thought that

504
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 6: it was inevitable that the Lakers and Clippers would face

505
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 6: off each other first it was a Western Conference finals matchup.

506
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 6: Then some years they'll meet in the second round or

507
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 6: a first round. Hasn't happened yet, so you know, technically

508
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 6: it could happen at a didn't given moment her.

509
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 2: No very true. Wrapping it up with Mark Medina Medina

510
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: Magic and Fox Sports Radio NBA Guru. You hear them

511
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: all around the networking on my Showlder Bernie Fradershow every

512
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: Saturday night, same time. I want to talk every so

513
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: quickly about Oklahoma City. I saw a stat earlier this week,

514
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: Mark that they're nine to nine versus the Rockets, Denver,

515
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors, the Lakers in Minnesota, but they're fifty

516
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 2: five and five against everybody else. Might their youth rear

517
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: its head in the playoffs, Well, how do you expect

518
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: them to fare?

519
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, that you don't want to discount those stats because

520
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 6: you know those are all good teams, and you know

521
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 6: usually that can provide a little bit of a blueprint

522
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 6: for what a team could look like in the playoffs.

523
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 6: But I will say that the playoffs are much different

524
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 6: than in the regular season because now you have time

525
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 6: to really micro analyze a team and prepare and make adjustments.

526
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 6: I think the Thunder, I'm not going to say they're invincible.

527
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 6: They're not the Golden State Warriors when Kevin Durant was

528
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 6: on the team with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. But

529
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 6: they have a pretty complete team, and I don't think

530
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 6: that they are, you know, this young team that isn't

531
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 6: ready for the moment. They went through their playoff shortcomings

532
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 6: last season. But I will say that the Rockets have

533
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 6: been defending an elite level. The Lakers and the Warriors

534
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 6: have waiting in a bottle with their post trade deadline

535
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 6: moves with Luca Dodgers with the Lakers, Jimmy Butler with

536
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 6: the Warriors. I think the Nuggets are too dysfunctional right now.

537
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 6: The Clippers, they are fully healthy at this point, and

538
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 6: again you have to knock on Wood about that, but

539
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 6: they could ask for a better, you know, plays circumstances

540
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 6: from that from a health standpoint, than what the Clippers

541
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 6: are having entering the postseason.

542
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 3: So all those.

543
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 6: Teams I think very well have a chance to upset

544
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 6: the Thunder. I just want to put my money on it.

545
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 6: But you know what, that's why we're going to talk

546
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 6: about all this every week. That's why all these games

547
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 6: are going to be amazing, because there's a lot of unpredictability.

548
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 6: We have a cent on how all these things can

549
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 6: play out, but because of all the moving parts, it's

550
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 6: inevitable that there's going to be some sort of upset,

551
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 6: an unexpected outcome.

552
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: I can't remember the last time I've looked forward in

553
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: earnest to the NBA playoffs as I have this year,

554
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: and that's I'm being deadly serious here because there are

555
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: so many storylines and I have to finish with this one.

556
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 2: My good buddy Doug Anderson, a whole high school football

557
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: buddy who's a big doctor in Brea, is credible stat Maven,

558
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 2: and he sent me this stat. Bronnie James has made

559
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: nine of his last twenty one three point shots. Nine

560
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: of his last twenty one Bronnie James three pointers. Yeah,

561
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 2: and you, I know you were probably aware of that,

562
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: but so will Bronnie James perhaps logs some playoff minutes.

563
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 6: That was amazing. I thought we were actually gonna get

564
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 6: through an entire segment not talking about Broddiy Jenis for

565
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 6: the first time season, and no, I know, and I

566
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 6: was actually gonna say something as we signed off. Here

567
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 6: we go, Will Bronnie James playing the playoffs? I doubt it,

568
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 6: h He has been a fan favorite during mop up

569
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 6: duty and I don't think that you know they're going

570
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 6: to roll the dice here. But look, I didn't think

571
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 6: that he would be thrown in the middle of a

572
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 6: game like he was in Philadelphia that I wound up

573
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 6: backfiring against the Lakers when they lost that game. But

574
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 6: he has gotten minutes, and I will say in erence

575
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 6: to Browny compared to the beginning of the season when

576
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 6: he made that debut in Minnesota, he's a much improved player.

577
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 6: I just don't think that that means playoffs then it's

578
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 6: quite yet.

579
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: Fair enough power, But that Philly game worked out well

580
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: for Tyres maxive that story for a different Yeah, Mark,

581
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: kn't wait too the protection.

582
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 6: Will we talk Brownie James at any point in the

583
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 6: playoffs as soon.

584
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: Well, we'll talk it. We just you know, may have

585
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: to drum something up, but right, all right, were already

Speaker 2: he does, he'll join the likes of Gary Player and

618
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholson Tiger Woods as the only golfers well, you

619
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: have to include Gene Sarazen and Ben Hogan that have

620
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,959
Speaker 2: a career Grand Slam. But before we get to ahead

621
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: of myself, Tiger Woods is notably absent. Okay, now we

622
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: realize that injuries have been constant in the Tiger Woods

623
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 2: career in the last seventeen years, and when he won

624
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: the Masters or won the US Open on one leg

625
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: on that left knee injury, he had surgery recently repair

626
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: his rupture left achilles, and this time this injury feels

627
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: different Tiger's Tiger, but the human bodies, the human body.

628
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: Tiger turned fifty and six months and that's he's not

629
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 2: a good fifty, He's an old fifty. So here's my

630
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 2: question for the midnight hour. Will you watch the Masters Sunday?

631
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 2: Will you have the same level of interest even though

632
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 2: Rory McElroy is attempting to make history as if Tiger

633
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 2: would have been participating Sunday? And can golf ever have

634
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: the same kind of twenty year run that they had

635
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: with Tiger leading the pack? Can they ever do that? Again? Look,

636
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 2: golf is a sport in the United States, is very popular.

637
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 2: Professional golf not so much right now? Check me. So

638
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: what you watch mclroy try to make history and Tiger Woods?

639
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 2: Can golf ever have a run like that? Again? All right,

640
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: let's get to one of the great questions facing our society.

641
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 2: Will Shoot Door Sanders have success in the NFL. He

642
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: hasn't even played it down, He hasn't even drafted yet.

643
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 2: And I guarantee his career is going to be a

644
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 2: highly scrutinized one because whatever success he has is going

645
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: to hinge on his ability to overcome what his perceived

646
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 2: weaknesses are and capitalize on his strengths. He has strengths

647
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 2: accuracy and his adaptability, resilience. He may have a bigger ceiling.

648
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 2: His combine impressions were not great. He's had an inconsistent

649
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 2: performance at sometimes look at him in the Alimo Bowl.

650
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: I didn't care for his comments after Nebraska when he

651
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 2: asked the reporter how many times Dylan Riola got sacked?

652
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 2: There are questions about his pocket awareness and decision making.

653
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: Can he handle complex defense in fronts. He has a

654
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: tendency to hold a ball too long, which leads the sacks.

655
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 2: He's excelled with short passes. His inability to his ability

656
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 2: to till the deep ball accurately has also been questioned.

657
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 2: But he also has a lot of strengths, and he

658
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: has the right last name and the right pedigree. So

659
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: here's the question. Though Shador Sanders is telling everybody, I'm

660
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: a culture builder, I'm a culture builder. Okay. Well Sanders

661
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: did build the culture at Colorado, no two ways about it.

662
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 2: But it was Dion Sanders, in my opinion, not Shoodoor Sanders,

663
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: who built that culture at Colorado. Now Schudor did his part,

664
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 2: but I believe it was Dion. So do you believe

665
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: Shdoor Sanders is a culture builder? Do you think he's

666
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: more likely to be a super Bowl winner or a bust?

667
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: I want your thoughts, honest thoughts on shudor Sanders. It

668
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: can be based on objective truth, personal opinion feelings. I

669
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: don't care. Maybe you're just rooting for him. That's all good.

670
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: Remember the most boring conversations when everybody agrees. This third

671
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: topic is gonna be interesting. Credit my good buddy, Arnie Sperner.

672
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: He was talking about this the other day. Apparently the

673
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 2: other night on Law and Order they did an episode

674
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 2: and they invoked the WNBA. How many of you, by

675
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 2: the way, knew that the WNBA draft is Monday? You're

676
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 2: gonna watch it? Do you care? Are you gonna watch

677
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: the WNBA this year? Do they finally dig out of

678
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,959
Speaker 2: their hold or they're gonna continue losing forty fifty million

679
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: dollars a year? I don't know. I don't know. Caitlin

680
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 2: Clark has done a lot, among others to build their popularity.

681
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 2: But if you're gonna feed you're the WNBA on a

682
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 2: Law and Order episode and even invoke Caitlin Clark's name,

683
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: that implies there's some awareness but I want to get

684
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: my callers thoughts. Will you watch the WNBA this year?

685
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? If you saw that Law and

686
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 2: Order episode? So we've got Rory McElroy attempting to make

687
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: history Sunday? Will you watch how badly do you miss

688
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods? Can Golf ever replicate that again? Should or

689
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: Sanders more likely to be a Hall of Famer or

690
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 2: a bust? And is he a culture builder? Or was

691
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 2: really d on the culture builder? And the WNBA? Did

692
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 2: you know the draft was Monday? You're gonna watch this year?

693
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 2: By the way, if you want to talk about Nico

694
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 2: and the Tennessee, that's fine. I'm gonna get more heavily

715
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,880

716
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,359

Speaker 2: us here? Give us your honest thoughts. Jim in Massachusetts

719
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 2: starts us off. Jim, you got the floor.

720
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 3: Bernie.

721
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 7: I think that it's come and gone. For golf, A

722
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 7: Tiger was a you know he he did for golf

723
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 7: what Burdon Magic did a the NBA?

724
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: Good analogy?

725
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, and look how both both have taped it off

726
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 7: and viewership, you know, so I think that's that's the

727
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 7: story there. I think Rory, yeah, he could have a

728
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 7: good shot at you know, pressure, pressure might get to

729
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 7: him because you play against you're playing the course, the

730
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 7: start wood, which is in beautiful shape and everything like that.

731
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 7: But you got the other guy next here, who's you know,

732
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 7: if he if he runs off a couple two or

733
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 7: three birdies or something like that, then that gets in

734
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 7: your head and then it will be all about nerves.

735
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 7: It'll be interesting to watch Jim.

736
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 2: You look, you're a knowledgeable guy. You remember last year

737
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 2: at the US Open, bryceon deshambro beat Rory McElroy And

738
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: I'll started early when McElroy choked a couple plots early

739
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 2: in the rest.

740
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 7: Is history, Yeah exactly. I mean you got to you

741
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 7: gotta always keep mentally focused. That's what it's all about.

742
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 7: Mental focus. Because they're all great players that they wouldn't

743
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 7: be there, but we'll see. I mean, if I was

744
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 7: a betting guy, I put money on mcilroyd because when

745
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 7: you get to that point, you got to think in

746
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 7: your head, I'll never be here again. You know, you

747
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 7: got to take a shot. When you got your shot.

748
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 2: How about a culture builder who slanders culture building?

749
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 7: I mean I'll tell you why right now. I don't

750
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 7: want him at my giants. I can tell you that

751
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 7: you never don't.

752
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 2: Worry about that Dan. They're not drafting him. There's no chance.

753
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 7: I don't think he's going to go in the first round. Dude,

754
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 7: I really don't think he's gonna go.

755
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 2: Now, with Derek Carr getting heard, you think, well, I

756
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 2: don't feel he's a first round talent. That doesn't mean

757
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: you know, people are gonna hear what they want to hear.

758
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 2: They can be pissed off at me, but I'm paid

759
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 2: to have opinions, and that's my opinion. I'm sorry, Jim,

760
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 2: you got the floor continue.

761
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, but that's that's your first round pick. Is

762
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 7: you're assuming as a franchise player that's year around for

763
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 7: ten years. And no, no, I mean his I don't

764
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 7: think his head's there there. I think if he does

765
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 7: get drafted in the first round because because of his

766
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 7: last name, not because of talent, and then you know,

767
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 7: now you're playing with men, you're not playing with boys,

768
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 7: so it's it. It's going to be a totally different world.

769
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 7: And I don't I think he's going to be a bust.

770
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 7: And as far as the culture building. Dion did everything

771
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 7: out there.

772
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. Yeah, yeah, he's a coacher.

773
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 7: Look at look at how he got to his spring

774
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 7: spring game on TV. He went out and negotiated. Now

775
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 7: everybody's going to want.

776
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 3: To do it.

777
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 7: You know, I know apples don't fall fIF from the tree,

778
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 7: but uh, this wan rolled downhill?

779
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 2: Okay, real quickly, WNBA. Did you know the draft was Monday?

780
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:54,439
Speaker 2: When you watching this year?

781
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 7: Number one about the W I don't I didn't know

782
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 7: the draft. I didn't care. All I want them to

783
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 7: do is clean up their referee and and get it

784
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 7: down with it and not picking our Caitlin Clark because

785
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 7: she is a talent. She's you know, she's like Tiger Wood,

786
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 7: like Burden Magic. She is the talent. If you want

787
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 7: to expand your league and get it great, you're gonna

788
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 7: start playing on even playing field. So when she gets

789
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 7: smacked in the head she has thirteen stitches, you got

790
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 7: to call a foul. You don't look at each other

791
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 7: like what's your problem? I mean, it's been very, very bad.

792
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 7: I hope they clean that all up in this off season.

793
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 7: But if it starts off like that this year, they're

794
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 7: gonna lose everything, viewership, everything in people are just gonna

795
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 7: walk away businesses and everything. You can't have that. You

796
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 7: can't have physical assaults and all that other crap going

797
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 7: on when you know it's against the rules. I mean

798
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 7: even an age to nine nine year old can see that,

799
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 7: you know.

800
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 2: So wait to start us up to them in Massachusetts

801
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: coming off the top rope. That's how you started poppy

802
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 2: in San Diego. All right, you know the three topics, buddy,

803
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: take it?

804
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 8: Hey, yeah, you know, go. I really don't know about stuff,

805
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 8: but you know, I went to my hometown to Coachella

806
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 8: Valley two weeks ago, and they had not a big

807
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 8: tennis tournament and I saw a lot of shuttles going

808
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 8: on there. And they they still have big tournaments right

809
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 8: there for the TGA Tour. So yeah, about Tiger, he's

810
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 8: a great person. When I was right there Coachella Valley,

811
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 8: that's my hometown, Like he actually went over there when

812
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 8: it was in his time time and had a clinic

813
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 8: of youth and showing them how to swing and.

814
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 4: Stuff like that.

815
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 8: So I love Tiger Woods. And will there be someone

816
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 8: else like him? I don't think so. And we'll see

817
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 8: what happened about with Sanders. What I got to say

818
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 8: about Sanders is I really love him. My prediction is

819
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 8: I think he'll fall with the Raiders, and I think

820
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,439
Speaker 8: Tom Brady will probably.

821
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 9: Pull the trigger.

822
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't think so. For they just gave

823
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 2: basically Gino a three year deal man seventy five million guaranteed. Well, yeah,

824
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 2: I'm not asking. I'm not asking if you think where

825
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: he's going to be drafted, because there's all sorts of speculation.

826
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 2: What I'm asking is, do you think he's really the

827
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 2: culture builder that he says he is?

828
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 8: Well, well, of course, like you know, I mean, you know,

829
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 8: you gotta fake it till you make it, and you know,

830
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 8: his dad is Time Time, and of course he's a

831
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 8: cultural bratiner and look at all the stuff that he

832
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 8: could do at a new generation with his athlete probably

833
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 8: and like his mind. Yeah, he's a he's a culture

834
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 8: builder and he does what he's gotta do. He might

835
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 8: even go to a Breese team, the Saints. But yeah,

836
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 8: I think he won't be a bus because there's been

837
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 8: a lot of bus on the NFL quarterback I'm not

838
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 8: gonna say names, but Mark Chansons and stuff like that.

839
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 8: I think he'll be in the first round because that

840
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 8: he'll get opportunities, something will happen, and he's gonna shine.

841
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 8: He's gonna shine. So that's my predition.

842
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 2: Watch it this.

843
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 8: Year well, of course, and I am gonna watch it

844
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 8: with the draft and playing in park and hopefully you

845
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 8: know your hometown and the dynasty the Las Vegas ass.

846
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 8: I'll be going there in the summer league team to

847
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 8: the NBA, and I want to see the Las Veggas

848
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,720

00:46:58,520 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 4: To be bidding.

850

Speaker 8: They have a dynasty. I'm looking well, they repeat it,

851
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 8: get another ring for a lot of thing. So I'm

852
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 8: excited about this, all.

861
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 9: I'll give the masters a chance. I think the ratings

862
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 9: are higher than ever, not up to Tiger type levels.

863
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 9: I like this guy Bryson, Dave Shamba. I think he's

864
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 9: he's an American, He's I mean, I'll be rooting for

865
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 9: Rory to win the Grand Slam, the career Grand Slams tomorrow.

866
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,439
Speaker 9: Only six six people have ever done it, and they're

867
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 9: all time legends.

868
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 7: But I wouldn't be I wouldn't be.

869
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 9: Too disappointed with with Dave Schambeau winning either. He's like

870
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 9: a nice guy today, given high fives to everybody. Golf

871
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 9: needs a little injection of humanity like that, like a

872
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 9: like a guy who who's on the internet and gets

873
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 9: a billion views and sort of that. You know, he's

874
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 9: not too not too stuffy. Uh, you know, I'm not

875
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 9: a big I think he's just going to be average.

876
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 9: The rumor going around the Midwest and Colorado is that

877
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 9: Travith Hunter is one of the all time great So

878
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 9: keep your eyes, keep your eyes. He could be one

879
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 9: of the best ever.

880
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 3: So keep your.

881
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 9: Eyes on Travith Hunter.

00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 7: Not not to do her what uh.

883
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 9: Caitlin Clark, I'm going to be following her for years.

884
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 9: I mean, that's it's the fish out of Water movie

885
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 9: story that you know, she's sort of like Larry but

886
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 9: like the female Larry Bird that you know, the trashman

887
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,760
Speaker 9: from Princelick, Indiana who went to who went to Bobby

888
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 9: Knight for a month and say I'm out of here

889
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 9: the story and he went to Indiana State and and

890
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 9: Caitlin is sort of sort of like that. She's she's

891
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 9: gonna own every record. It'll be interesting to see how

892
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 9: the w n b A is going to deal with someone.

893
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 9: So far we've we've seen they're gonna brutalize her. They're

894
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 9: gonna they're gonna try to get her to back down.

895
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 9: That didn't work. So so she's gonna own every single

896
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 9: record in the business. And they're they're not gonna like that.

897
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 9: And that's gonna make for interesting storylines for years.

898
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 2: You're gonna be watched, You're gonna be watching, You'll be

899
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 2: a you'll be a patron correct.

900
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 9: Oh, I mean that's that's gonna be number one, unless

901
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 9: they unless they just have a have a terrible run,

902
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 9: unless she loses every game. And I also had a

903
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 9: wild card thought on Nico here at Tennessee. I mean,

904
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 9: you know, nothing says, nothing says SEC just means more

905
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 9: than your quarterback wanting to go to Miami for an

906
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 9: extra two million dollars the day before the spring game.

907
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? We reached an inflection point.

908
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 9: We've got to have punishment for these guys. I know

909
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 9: he's not going to be able to go to the

910
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 9: SEC for but that's right. You can't desert your teammates

911
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 9: the day before the spring game. That was a pretty

912
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 9: transferve in my bird, that's.

913
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 2: That's an excellent angle. Good stuff. We're gonna get to

914

Speaker 10: theme on the Masters. We need the stars and golf

923
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 10: to be stars and have staying power and get multiple grants,

924
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 10: get multiple major championships. So whether it was, it looks

925
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 10: like Rory and Rory's a dude far I just I

926
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 10: just like the cut of his jip. You know how

927
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 10: he gets down, you know, so, and he's.

928
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 4: Had some issues.

929
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 10: He's had some issues on Sunday, been a little Greg Norman.

930
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 2: That's creepy because he has he's got so much pressure

931
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 2: on him Tomorrow, Sat of Sunday. Go ahead.

932
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 10: There's no doubt about the talent, Okay, So Rory I

933
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 10: the Tiger, right, Golf needs stars and you have all

934
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 10: the capabilities to step into that role. Is ah, we

935
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 10: gonna have another Tiger Woods? No, okay, because generational means generational.

936
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 10: But from Rory, the Scottie Scheffler, the Brooks kept Good,

937
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 10: Bryson de Shambo to John Rahm. Not just one major

938
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 10: here and there. We need people to stack up majors

939
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 10: so the people can identify with them, so that you

940
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 10: know you're tuning in to see one particular person.

941
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 8: So I'm pulling for Rory.

942
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 10: Now over to Shador Sanders.

943
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 4: Is he a leader in a culture?

944
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,720
Speaker 10: Seter, No, he's not. Okay, Shador Sanders great talent, okay,

945
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 10: but he Shador Sanders is about Shador Sanders. And here's

946
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 10: the bottom line, Okay, Because we have a phenime coming

947
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 10: up in college football that did it the other way,

948
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,879
Speaker 10: a one mister arch Manning. So I think a lot

949
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 10: of teams right now are looking all right. And here's

950
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 10: my my thing with Chador versus Arch, And you know

951
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 10: I should Shadoor can row arch manning number one high

952
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 10: school prospect coming out of coming out of high school

953
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 10: phenom on the same trajectory as his uncle Payton.

954
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 7: What did he do?

955
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 10: He's essentially sat out two years and and take and

956
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 10: taking a step back and said I'm going to trust

957
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 10: the process.

958
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 11: So people really don't.

959
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 10: Understand what Texas has. I have him lighting college football

960
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,720
Speaker 10: on fire next year. I have him winning the Heisman Trophy,

961
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 10: and I have him being the number one overall pick.

962
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 10: To Shador Sanders, I think teams are already. I think

963
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 10: teams are leaning this quarterback class. Draft is good, but

964
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 10: they know they realize what Arch is going to be

965
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 10: next year. So specific to Shador.

966
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 2: Let me, I thought that I've had some of those

967
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 2: same thoughts. I've had some of those same thoughts. Hey,

968
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 2: real quickly, I got to keep it moving. You're you're

969
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 2: a great caller, But I want to get real quick

970
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 2: thoughts on the WNBA.

971
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 10: If you love basketball, you love the w NBA. Bottom line, Okay,

972
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 10: so I'm a huge fan of WNBA. The game is wrong.

973
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 10: Want's talk to me about the losses that the league suffers.

974
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 10: The NBA will will take those losses because it increases

975
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 10: your viewership and it gives those little girls a dream.

976
00:52:58,239 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 10: And we've had some other good calls.

977
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 4: That had some takes.

978
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 10: Nobody's brutalizing Caitlin Clark. Let me tell you that as

979
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 10: a referee, Okay, she does get foults here and there.

980
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 10: There is a little bit of animates because she's a

981
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,959
Speaker 10: nuke on the block. But she's great for the league.

982
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:10,959
Speaker 10: She's gonna be a star for many years. She's gonna

983
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 10: bring eyeballs in the league's and continue to be healthy

984
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 10: and strong. Basketball players love the w B W n

985
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 10: B A. I cannot wait. Thank burn.

986
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 8: Think's taking a call, all right.

987
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 2: Don't be a stranger as always, Andre, uh the squeeze

988
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 2: in one more Brock and Alberta, Canada. Brock. You're up next?

Speaker 2: with the Masters. You're gonna watch it Sunday.

996
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 12: I sure am, Yeah, No, I'm rooting for uh. I

997
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 12: think uh uh Bryson de Shambo is gonna win it.

998
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 12: I think he's got that killer mentality like Michael Jordan.

999
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,479
Speaker 12: You know, I got him winning it. But I I

1000
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,879
Speaker 12: I Roy mcclroy. He's too nice of a guy. I think,

1001
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 12: as great as he is since twenty eleven, you know,

1002
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 12: he's to me, he's.

1003
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 2: Like the Lebron James of golf. You know, well, we're

1004
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 2: gonna find out tomorrow or later on today. Shidor Sanders,

1005
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 2: is he a culture builder or not?

1006
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 13: Absolutely?

1007
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 12: I think he sure is.

1008
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:16,439
Speaker 14: He deserves a number one pick.

1009
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 12: Whoever does not draft hing is going to regret it

1010
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 12: for the rest.

1011
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 2: Of their lives. You may be right. I'm not gonna

1012
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 2: fight that. We shall see. I have a different take,

1013
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 2: but hey, you know I'm not the burning Bush. Finally,

1014
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 2: the WNBA the draft is Monday. Will you watch this year?

1015
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,239

1016
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 12: Okay is great, you know, Kaylin Flark's great to watch.

1017
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 12: Another great player that you did not mention that I

1018
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 12: think from my viewpoint will be Paige Beckers. I think

1019
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:41,760
Speaker 12: she's phenomenal.

1020
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 2: I think she's going to be drafted. I think she

1021
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 2: could be drafted number one overall Monday Night.

1022
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 3: I think so.

1023
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 12: For the Dallas Wings, yes, I believe so. And hey,

1024
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 12: you know what if they if the Wings could win,

1025
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 12: you know, hey, better than my Cowboys.

00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 2: How about shoot or Sanders? Just get your thoughts.

1077
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 3: Have you ever talked to Bruce Devon?

1078
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 2: Uh? Not that I can recall, but I'm trying to.

1079
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 3: Still that's all the golf part.

1080
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 15: But then last week you were talking about actually two

1081
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 15: days ago unfortunately, I fortunately I ran into your station

1082
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 15: and you're saying siblings. I've done siblings that I've grown

1083
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 15: up with the Sato family from the volleyball they all

1084
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 15: have gold medals.

1085
00:57:55,960 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 2: That's fantastic. What are your thoughts about Shodor Sanders? Sam?

1086
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 2: I want to get to all the callers and try

1087
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 2: to stay on the topics.

1088
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 3: But where's Kopka?

1089
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 2: Kepka didn't make the cut?

1090
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 3: All right?

1091
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 2: Appreciate you checking in, Sam, appreciate you listening to Fox

1092
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Alan, Saint Louis joins us Allen, you've been

1093
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Fowl Show before. Your thoughts tonight?

1094
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 3: How you doing, Bernie?

1095
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 11: Well, another group of excellent topics. As far as the Masters,

1096
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 11: I will be watching, you know, ive Roy McElroy. He

1097
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 11: kept me the comeback. He started off very very slowly

1098
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 11: that first day. But there's nothing like there's a big

1099
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 11: difference between coming back on Thursday and we're in that.

1100
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 11: We're getting that eighteen fifteen green on that.

1101
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 2: That's right. I hate to be that guy, Alan, but

1102
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,959
Speaker 2: he shot back to back sixty sixes and I don't

1103
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 2: like his chances. Sunday he can prove me wrong. Let's

1104
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 2: see what happens.

1105
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 11: Yeah, And I will be watching too as fort Tiger

1106
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 11: Woods with her. And you know, I'm a I evolved,

1107
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 11: you know, I watch what I live in, living in

1108
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 11: the moment. You know, Tiger was great, he had great career.

1109
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 11: But I kind of sell myself short if I try

1110
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 11: to make comparisons to what Tiger would have done. And

1111
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 11: let's face it, you go with the live with the

1112
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 11: lift golfers playing now, it kind of takes away from

1113
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 11: the Masters because when they first did the first year,

1114
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 11: there's a little almosity between them. It's kind of cooled

1115
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 11: off now. But yeah, you know, you know golf was

1116
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 11: about rivalries too. You know Brooks Kepka and Deshambo when

1117
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 11: they were in the PGA, they had a kind of

1118
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 11: little rivalry going. But they're not there no more now,

1119
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 11: so you know that's kind of paid away.

1120
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 2: Well again, Alan I mentioned this earlier. You may recall

1121
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 2: ten months ago at the US Open to Shambo and

1122
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 2: uh Rory faced off and Shambo beat him. He broke

1123
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 2: his heart. And so anyway, real quickly, let's get to

1124
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 2: Shodor Sanders. Your thoughts on his future in the NFL.

1125
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 2: Is you have a culture builder, like you said he is.

1126
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 11: I think he's gonna have a decent career. But let's

1127
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 11: face it, culture building is about being on winning teams.

1128
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 11: And if Shadora Sanaders get gets drafted by the Giants

1129
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 11: or the Cleveland or something, he can't build a culture

1130
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 11: not the front off there, you know what?

1131
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 2: You know? You know what's interesting though, go back to

1132
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. Cam Newton took over a one in fifteen

1133
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 2: team in Carolina, got him to the Super Bowl, two

1134
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 2: years later, so it can happen. But I don't think

1135
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 2: you do it by talking. And I think that's our

1136
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 2: beef with shehdor Sanders. He talks a lot.

1137
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 11: Faith Cam Newton was a lot better talent than Oh hell.

1138
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 2: Hell yes, he was real quick. The WNBA. You're gonna

1139
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 2: watch it this year?

1140
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 11: Of course I'll be watching it. But the problem with

1141
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 11: the question is I'll answering the question with a question,

1142
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 11: and everybody else gonna watch. Because when Caitlin Clark played,

1143
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 11: you had over a million viewers. When she wasn't playing,

1144
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 11: it was two or three hundred thousand. So I just

1145
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 11: hope that everybody joins in on the rest of the

1146
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 11: w NBA instead of Caiton Clark, because that's the only

1147
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 11: that's the only thing that's really gonna make this league.

1148
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 3: Drive.

1149
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 11: Take care, Bernie O, thanks.

1150
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, Alan, appreciate it. Andy and Oregon welcome, and

1151
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle show. You're up next.

1152
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 3: Oh Bernie.

1153
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 7: One second, I was on bluetooth.

1154
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:21,959
Speaker 16: How are you doing to night, Bernie doing?

1155
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 3: Well?

1156
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? Buddy?

1157
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 16: Well, I don't watch a golf for WNBA, so like

1158
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 16: take will just be entred fast.

1159
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 2: That'd be fine.

1160
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 16: I think he's going to be humbled and have a

1161
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 16: career like Baker Mayfield.

1162
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 2: Well, Baker Mayfields had a pretty damn good career, right

1163
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 2: think think about it, Andy. I appreciate the comparison because

1164
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 2: he talked a lot. He took over a team that

1165
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 2: was one on thirty one, everybody forgets how bad Cleveland was,

1166
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 2: and two years got into the playoffs.

1167
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 16: Go ahead, that's what's saying. I think that he's going

1168
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 16: to get in there and just get humbled real quickly.

1169
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 16: But I think that he's going to turn around. Yeah,

1170
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 16: Biggers had a good career. I think that I shouldn't

1171
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 16: have that too, Thanks Berdan.

1172
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 2: All right, short and sweet, Thanks Andy, appreciate your thoughts.

1173
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 2: Andrew in Bakersfield. You've been a regular during this segment.

1174
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 2: We've got three topics.

1175
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 17: Start wherever you're like, all right, I think what I

1176
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 17: want to say applies to all three topics. Okay, But

1177
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 17: on the second, I think Shador Sanders is going to

1178
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 17: be good. I think he's going to be really good.

1179
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 17: And what I have to say is kind of like

1180
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 17: a short rant. Go ahead, Okay, anyone anyone who uses

1181
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 17: the term jag, like, oh, he's a JAG receiver, and

1182
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 17: they're saying he's just a guy.

1183
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, just a guy.

1184
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1185
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 17: I would say, you know, don't use that phrase because

1186
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 17: what if he is your cousin, your son, what if

1187
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 17: it was you? Anyone has the potential to you know,

1188
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 17: be good, and so I don't like that phrase. That

1189
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 17: all right, basically all I got?

1190
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 2: Do you have nothing on the w NBA and or

1191
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 2: the Masters on Sunday? Take a pass on to watch it?

1192
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 17: No, I want to watch it.

1193
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 2: What times it start on the Well, it'll start, it

1194
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 2: starts a differentiure in Bakersfield. No, no, it'll it won't

1195
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 2: start till closer till noon. But uh, I don't think

1196
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 2: you'll see I don't think you'll see. Uh the tea

1197
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 2: times have been reported, but I think you'll see. Uh

1198
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 2: the finalists to Shambo and and and Rory. I think

1199
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 2: t off about one o'clock along those lines Pacific Pacific time.

1200
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 2: I'll be wide appreciate it. Andrew Hugh. Uh, Now, let's

1201
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 2: see last week you started on the five freeway and

1202
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 2: I think you ended up on the ten. Where are

1203
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 2: you now?

1204
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 18: Well, I'm not on the fifteen headed towards you right now.

1205
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 13: But all right, because there's one thing that you know,

1206
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 13: so really quickly.

1207
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 18: Before we get to the topics, if you don't mind

1208
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 18: number one, I want to call you out on something.

1209
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 3: Last week. You had a hard time.

1210
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 18: Saying the word choke, and I heard you say something about.

1211
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 13: Rory choking with putts.

1212
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 2: He did, he did? They called me out. No, that

1213
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 2: that's fair. That that's what. Hey, you're a good listener,

1214
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 2: and you know what I gotta tell you. Hold that thought.

1215
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 2: Hold that thought because he's gonna be a good time.

1216
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 2: I the minute that came out of my mouth. Uh,

1217
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 2: I said, why did I do that? Except there's something

1218
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 2: about Rory whenever there are big steaks and big expectations,

1219
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 2: it's not just once, it's every time. And golf rule

1220
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 2: number six, you're responsible for your own ball and your

1221
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 2: own score. And he missed two early easy putts short

1222
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 2: putts two last year in the US Open. Uh, and

1223
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 2: that set the stage for Bryson Deshambo to beat him.

1224
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 2: And so hey, I have to own it. I said

1225
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 2: that if I I, uh, you know, I should have

1226
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:00,919
Speaker 2: said a dork two putts not show. But I said

1227
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 2: it too late. God, But good on you for calling

1228
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 2: me out.

1229
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, Well, he pulled a duke. Basically, Okay, that's good,

1230
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 13: the fact of that, all right.

1231
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 18: The topics, coach, if you don't mind, set me up

1232
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 18: and and I'll hit you with him, all right.

1233
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 2: And one last thing. The reason I couldn't say that

1234
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 2: duke choked is because you got to use a little

1235
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 2: bit of credit. There's no defensive golf. There's no defense

1236
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 2: in golf. It's you, the club, the ball, and the course.

1237
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 2: But duly noted, I contradicted myself. Okay, I contradicted myself.

1238
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 7: All right.

1239
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 2: So these are the topics. Let's start with this. You've

1240
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 2: got the Masters on Sunday. Rory's trying to make history,

1241
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 2: and the question is will you be watching and you know,

1242
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 2: look this twenty year run that professional golf had with Tiger.

1243
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 2: You know, will we ever see anything like that again?

1244
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 2: So let's start there.

1245
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 18: That all depends on if shoe and apparel companies will

1246
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 18: get behind somebody that they believe.

1247
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 3: In and drive the mania and.

1248
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 18: Drive that, you know, and so who knows who's going

1249
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 18: to come along that something to get behind to do that,

1250
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,439
Speaker 18: you know, it's it's and here's another thing.

1251
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 13: So I was reading a story last night about how this.

1252
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 18: Girl in Austin, Texas got together this group of girls

1253
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 18: to play golf, which led into the basis of the

1254
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 18: real nexus of the story was But but there's a

1255
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 18: bunch of gen zs out there now on the golf

1256
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 18: course driving away the people who followed Tiger Woods who

1257
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 18: might follow the thing tomorrow and don't like the fact

1258
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 18: that they've got to play five and a half hour route.

1259
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, I do know this about golf. The

1260
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 2: sport is popular, but professional golf is not nearly as popular.

1261
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 2: Let's move along to Shidor Sanders. I'm sure you've got

1262
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 2: a thought on shod Door Sanders.

1263
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 18: Yeah, because you know you have this topic about him

1264
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 18: and Dion back when Hey, are they going to go

1265
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 18: to the Cowboys together?

1266
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 2: If you recall someone, Well, I never gave it, of

1267
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 2: course I recall, but I never gave it. I would

1268
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 2: have loved to have seen. It'd be good for my business,

1269
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 2: but I never really thought it was gonna I never

1270
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 2: really thought it would materialize.

1271
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 18: So my point, my point on that is that what

1272
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 18: I said at the time is what I think the

1273
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 18: real story is, which is fascinating to me personally, is

1274
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 18: how are they going to do apart from one another, right,

1275
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 18: And I think that's still the story. And as far

1276
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 18: as you know that, that's really going to be fascinating

1277
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 18: to me.

1278
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 13: As far as the culture.

1279
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 18: Building, well I would say, you know, Shador, he balled

1280
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:47,919
Speaker 18: out with his dad growing up, going to college, going

1281
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 18: to different colleges, and.

1282
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 3: They were successful.

1283
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:56,479
Speaker 19: And he's of the generation that probably fueled the whole like, hey, dude, dad,

1284
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 19: we got to get on social media and blow this

1285
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 19: thing up. And so if you really want to look

1286
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 19: at it, he probably to be seen as having experienced

1287
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 19: building culture.

1288
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 3: Right.

1289
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 13: So then they had a brother.

1290
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 2: But the and the question is how do you do that?

1291
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 2: He talks a lot, and he wears a role ax

1292
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 2: and drives a Rolls Royce around campus. I don't know, man,

1293
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1294
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 6: Well he took he took.

1295
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 13: A lot of hits in college, yeah he did.

1296
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,440
Speaker 2: God not questioning is toughness.

1297
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:30,520
Speaker 13: Yeah that's so. So where what you want let's say,

1298
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 13: you know.

1299
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:32,759
Speaker 9: Blaying it, bling it out.

1300
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 3: I guess.

1301
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 13: But I actually do like his attitude. I like he's

1302
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 13: kind of like sort of on an island coming into

1303
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 13: the NFL. Dad's no longer behind.

1304
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 18: Him necessarily, and Dad even backed away with you know,

1305
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 18: you know what, I'm just going to let him do

1306
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 18: his thing.

1307
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get involved. You know.

1308
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 13: That came up recently, and so he's kind of on

1309
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 13: an island trying to make it happen on his own.

1310
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 13: And he's not backing down. He's like saying, hey, I

1311
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 13: can do it, and because that's what he believes.

1312
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 3: And so that's the fact.

1313
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 13: Fascinating story. We'll see what happened.

1314
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to adapt. This is a whole different

1315
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 2: He's gonna real quickly, uh, real quickly. You Uh The

1316
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 2: w NBA Draft is Monday. Were you aware of that?

1317
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 2: And will you be watching the WNVA this year?

1318
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 18: I'll be truthful, I wasn't aware of that, but I

1319
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 18: did hear that on another show or somewhere.

1320
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 13: I read it like in the last day or two,

1321
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 13: So I did know about it. But well, okay, what

1322
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 13: was what?

1323
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 3: What was real?

1324
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 13: The real question behind this?

1325
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 2: Well, the real question is is it just simply is

1326
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 2: how I stated it. We're going into the year two

1327
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 2: with Caitlin Clark and the league lost fifty million bucks

1328
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 2: last year. They beat their chest. They're going to be

1329
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 2: on TV right left, they were featured on a long

1330
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 2: order episode Thursday. So it's like, wait a minute, if

1331
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 2: they're gonna do that, is that?

1332
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 3: You know?

1333
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 2: It got made me scratch my head and say, is

1334
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 2: just speak to a level of a way awareness now

1335
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 2: that the w NBA has or are they force feeding it?

1336
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1337
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 13: Fascinating, Yes, that is a fascinating question because why is

1338
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,560
Speaker 13: it takes a show that has nothing to do with

1339
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:12,480
Speaker 13: the league.

1340
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 6: To get behind it?

1341
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 3: Right?

1342
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 13: So kind of rolls back.

1343
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 3: To who's going to get behind it?

1344
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 13: It's kind to be your company or an apparel company

1345
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 13: to drive that. But I'll say that really quick, and

1346
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 13: who can't get behind someone like her who did a

1347
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 13: lot of great stuff in that and you know last

1348
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 13: year or however long it's been like it's you know,

1349
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 13: of course you want to watch that. So it really

1350
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 13: speaks to why isn't anybody making her the face of

1351
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 13: the league or you know, just marketing the heck out

1352
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 13: of her?

1353
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 2: Right? Well they are, they're doing both of those things,

1354
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 2: Hugh in reality, and there was tremendous about a uh pushback,

1355
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 2: you appreciate you man, good thoughtful call, and uh that's

1356
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 2: what you call a what I would would I would

1357
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 2: characterize as an exceptional listener. I couldn't get the word

1358
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 2: choke out of my mouth last week with Duke, but

1359
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 2: I invoked it with Rory after the two miss putts.

1360
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 2: I contradicted myself. Squeeze one morning, here Christopher in North Carolina.

1421
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,240

1423
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 3: Right?

1424
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 20: So, all right, first thing I want to talk about

1425
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 20: is Shader Sanders and whatever the dude compared him to Baker.

1426
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 20: I actually had the same idea, and but I also

1427
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 20: had the same idea as you. Baker has had a

1428
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 20: great career, he really has, but he's also been one

1429
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 20: of those like off the side the quarterbacks, you know

1430
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 20: what I'm saying. Yeah, And it's so no disrespected Baker

1431
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 20: and by no means no disrespected dure like, but I

1432
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 20: definitely I kind of agree with what that guy was saying.

1433
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 20: I was already thinking about it whenever I decided.

1434
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 17: To call uh.

1435
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 20: So that's kind of how I felt about that.

1436
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,719
Speaker 2: If he does as well as Baker, I will consider

1437
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 2: be having a good career.

1438
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 20: Go ahead, absolutely, And I feel like su will probably

1439
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 20: have a great UH career for sure, but it will

1440
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 20: be one of those kind of like a little but

1441
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 20: maybe on the side quarterbacks.

1442
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:42,639
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, gotcha? Baker's on his fourteen

1443
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 2: thoughts on the Masters in w NBA.

1444
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 21: All right, So Masters I definitely want the you know,

1445
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 21: the career grand Slam.

1446
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 7: To have and we'll see what happens.

1447
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 21: The big shake up today was fantastic. I watched the

1448
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 21: whole day I was working and we had it on

1449
01:15:58,439 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 21: the TV.

1450
01:15:59,600 --> 01:15:59,760
Speaker 2: Sough.

1451
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:01,719
Speaker 6: Uh it was that was interesting.

1452
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 7: W n b A uh the way I see.

1453
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 21: It, all right, So beforehand, it wasn't a whole lot of,

1454
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 21: like I guess quote unquote reasons to uh watch it.

1455
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 21: You know, obviously there's a bunch of reasons to watch it,

1456
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:23,480
Speaker 21: but Caitlin Clark is bringing everything uh to the forefront,

1457
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 21: which I love. But I mean it's an uphill grind, right,

1458
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 21: It's it's all right, it's.

1459
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 2: So there is you'll be you'll be watching, right, that

1460
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 2: sounds I will.

1461
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:37,680
Speaker 21: I will be watching one of the things I do

1462
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 21: want to watch, as well as the TikTok start that.

1463
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 20: It's like, hey, the bang bang all right.

1464
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 2: Appreciate you, Nathan. I always appreciate your enthusiasm, and I

1465
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:50,639
Speaker 2: want to make sure we get enough time for Mike

1466
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 2: in Vegas, who wraps it up tonight on the midnight hour.

1467
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:54,719
Speaker 2: What do you got for us, Mike.

1468
01:16:55,400 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 4: Hey, Bernie. Okay, So regarding the golf. I think that.

1469
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 4: I think the Live made its impact, and uh, it

1470
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:13,600
Speaker 4: was just a big mistake by the PGA for not

1471
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 4: realizing that that they are real, They're they're here. They

1472
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 4: made a great to offer to a lot of golfers

1473
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 4: and the smart ones took them up on that. And

1474
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 4: the NBA was that close to losing their franchise in

1475
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:32,919
Speaker 4: two thousand and one when there was the lockout.

1476
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 2: I know that, but oh well that the WNB that's

1477
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 2: when David Stern was still commissioned. He says, if the

1478
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 2: w n b A goes on strike, all shut the

1479
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 2: league down. All they do is lose money. Look, I

1480
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,640
Speaker 2: don't give a damn. You know there are there are

1481
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,680
Speaker 2: objective trus in our personal feelings. I'm not saying the

1482
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 2: product on the floor is not good, it's pretty good.

1483
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:57,560
Speaker 2: But they lose money. Listen real quickly you watching WNB A,

1484
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:59,640
Speaker 2: I want to hear mainly about shoot or centers. You

1485
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 2: just got to a minute.

1486
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 4: Almost never watch w n B A, but I have

1487
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 4: watched it being from LA since since the very beginning

1488
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 4: with Lisa Leslie. But it's not compelling. It's caddy and

1489
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 4: and I don't want someone to tell me that I

1490
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:23,040
Speaker 4: have to watch it because of wokism. Okay, that's what

1491
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 4: it's about. Don't tell me I have to watch basketball

1492
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 4: or else I'm doing something that's not politically correct. And

1493
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 4: that's where it's at today, especially when the law and

1494
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 4: order tells me that I have to watch it. Shador standers, uh, I.

1495
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 4: I'd like to see everybody succeed unless they're just a

1496
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:47,080
Speaker 4: total donkey. I don't consider him or his dad a

1497
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:50,599
Speaker 4: total donkey like I did when the when uh when

1498
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 4: Lonzo Ball came out. Not Lonzo, but daddy.

1499
01:18:54,360 --> 01:19:00,440
Speaker 2: Was a all right listen. I appreciate you, Mike. I

1500
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 2: wish we had a little bit more time, but I

1501
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,879
Speaker 2: got to manage the clock. I appreciate your thoughts, appreciate

1502
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 2: your candor. A lot of good, varying opinions around the board.

1503
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 2: I would say this though the Masters, and I went

1504
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 2: to one Masters in nineteen ninety nine. It's a mecca

1505
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 2: for golf. This will be the most pressure packed round

1506
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 2: Rory McElroy will ever play in his life. Ever, it

1507
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 2: can ever be this pressure packed again. He led it

1508
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 2: in twenty eleven. It seems like a lifetime agoing it was,

1509
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,679
Speaker 2: but this is a referendum mon Roy McElroy and it's

1510
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:35,680
Speaker 2: either going to be feast or famine, and I think

1511
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 2: it's going to be very compelling. TV. Coming up is

1512
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 2: the first quarterback picked in the draft, usually the best.

1513

01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 2: posted right after we get off the air. Well with

1532
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 2: the Masters and the NBA Playoffs starting this week. Trust me,

1533
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 2: the NFL always manages to stay front and center in

1534
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 2: the headlines. A week from Thursday, the Draft will be

1535
01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 2: here in full force, and after that, you know, be

1536
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 2: the the OTAs and mini camps and before you know,

1537
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 2: it'll be June and July. And yeah, you know where

1538
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 2: I'm going with that. But there are some off season

1539
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 2: questions that are plaguing in the NFL right now, not

1540
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 2: the least of which is what the hell is up

1541
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers? Okay, and you would think that he

1542
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 2: would know by now if he wants to join the

1543
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. Who have you had the patience of job

1544
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:35,839
Speaker 2: during this thing? And it's been reported that some unnamed

1545
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 2: NFL exec told Mike Sando that the Vikings interest in Rogers, well,

1546
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 2: there was interest, but give it up to, you know,

1547
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell for his diplomacy. There is perhaps still some

1548
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:54,679
Speaker 2: uncertainty regarding JJ McCarthy's readiness to lead. Well. Another said

1549
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 2: he can't think of a worse combination than Rogers joining

1550
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 2: George Pickens, DK Metcalf and are through Smith and Pittsburgh.

1551
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 2: I don't know that I agree with that. They weren't

1552
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 2: excited about Justin fieldstolee on the ball and nor Russell Wilson. Okay,

1553
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 2: we know that, you know, we know that Rogers' first

1554
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 2: choice was the Vikings. All right, people in hell want

1555
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 2: ice water. You're both out of luck. Aeron, you're not

1556
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 2: going to the Vikings barring some weird thing. I would

1557
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,720
Speaker 2: say Art Rooney the second who the Rooney family is

1558
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 2: very dignified. They said, quote, all signs are positive for

1559
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, who's now forty one, to end up with

1560
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 2: the Steelers. He said it was good to meet him,

1561
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:41,439
Speaker 2: adding he didn't envision the process taking this long. Remember

1562
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 2: it's been almost three weeks since Aaron Rodgers visited the Steelers.

1563
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 2: I don't think Aaron Rodgers wants to go out the

1564
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 2: way he went out, or does he land if it

1565
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 2: ain't Pittsburgh, I don't know where. I mean, he's not

1566
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 2: going to retire, I doubt that. And the second thing

1567
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 2: is the only way I could see him landing in

1568
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 2: Minnesota is if he be on the calm and God

1569
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 2: forbid something happens with JJ McCarthy or the Vikings are

1570
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 2: without a quarterback. They're ready to compete for a super

1571
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 2: Bowl now, so they might be forced. But then again

1572
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:16,800
Speaker 2: that's heavy speculation. So that raises the second question. If

1573
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:21,679
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is not the Steelers quarterback, who the hell is? Okay,

1574
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 2: right now, you've got a quarterback room of Mason Rudolph.

1575
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 2: He's a competitor, but I don't think you're going to

1576
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 2: a super Bowl With Mason Rudolph and former Miami backup

1577
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 2: Skyler Thompson. That's your quarterback room in Pittsburgh right now.

1578
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:41,360
Speaker 2: Not exactly Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger. Now Rogers feels

1579
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 2: likely again to go to Pittsburgh. Matt Stafford turned him down.

1580
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,600
Speaker 2: They've had no interest in bringing back Justin Fields or

1581
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,639
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. They've left town. And that's where the draft

1582
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 2: comes in. So all of a sudden, now, given the

1583
01:23:56,320 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 2: uncertainty or even the certainty or the Steelers, they have

1584
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 2: one first round pick and no second round pick, there's

1585
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,599
Speaker 2: heavy speculation that they could use their first round pick

1586
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 2: on Shudor Sanders if he's there at twenty one. Now

1587
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:16,800
Speaker 2: before Derek Carr had his you know you heard the

1588
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 2: injury report on Derek Carr. Doesn't look like he's gonna

1589
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 2: play for the Saints this year. Do I consider that

1590
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 2: a huge loss? Not really, but he is a veteran quarterback,

1591
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,959
Speaker 2: and so that leaves the Saints feeling probably a little helpless.

1592
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 2: And I just don't think Spencer Rattlers air futured. I've

1593
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 2: heard no one say that. And so could Shudoor go

1594
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 2: number nine to the Saints? Could Jackson Dark go number nine?

1595
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I don't, Okay, prior to Derek

1596
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 2: Carr getting hurt, I don't think the Saints we're gonna

1597
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,600
Speaker 2: draft him. I think that was speculation. I think he

1598
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 2: would have dropped to twenty one. I mean, if you're

1599
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 2: gonna tell me, the Cleveland Browns just signed Joe Flacco

1600
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 2: and they're gonna get I think they're gonna take Travis Center,

1601
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 2: which there's a guy who steps down on the field

1602
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,640
Speaker 2: day one, probably see snaps on both sides of the

1603
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:10,439
Speaker 2: ball and contributes day one period. And you can't say

1604
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 2: that about your door Sanders. Meanwhile, the New York Giants,

1605
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 2: they courted Matthew Stafford. He said no, they courted Aaron Rodgers.

1606
01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 2: He said no, So you get Jamis Winston and give

1607
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 2: him four million bucks and you give Russell Wilson twenty

1608
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 2: million in guaranteed ten. Does that look like a team

1609
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 2: who's ready to draft a quarterback those two teams, I

1610
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 2: don't think so. I'm certain that Raiders are gonna draft

1611
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 2: Asks and genty without gonna draft your door Sanders. They

1612
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 2: just hooked up Gino Smith for seventy five millions, so

1613
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 2: that drops Sanders to nine. We'll see what happens. We'll

1614
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 2: just go from there. And I wish the young man well,

1615
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 2: I just I'm not in as cornyet. He's gotta prove

1616
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,640
Speaker 2: it to me. Okay, I had not rooting against him.

1617
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm not rooting for him. I just

1618
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 2: i'd like to see. The best story would be if

1619
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders goes crazy and turns out to be you know,

1620
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:01,599
Speaker 2: a Josh Allen or somebody. I no one saw that coming,

1621
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 2: but that would be the story. That would be the

1622
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 2: best story. But if Sanders doesn't fall to Pittsburgh back

1623
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 2: to my question, and Rogers is not the Steelers quarterback,

1624
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:15,439
Speaker 2: then what do you do? Do you draft the Jackson

1625
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 2: Darthur do you draft the Tyler show our Jalen Milroll

1626
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 2: out of Alabama. This quarterback talent class is not great.

1627
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,599
Speaker 2: You got a lot of Day two quarterback talent and

1628
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 2: once you know, it's just a Steelers luck. They're without

1629
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 2: a second round pick this year due to the DK

1630
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:33,840
Speaker 2: Metcalf trade, so if they miss during the draft, this

1631
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 2: popped into my mind, and boy, I don't know, this

1632
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 2: is a reach, but it wouldn't be the worst thing

1633
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 2: in the world. They could trade for Kirk Cousins. They

1634
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 2: could wrest kirk Cousins from the Falcons. Let's unpack this, okay,

1635
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 2: because as you look ahead to the twenty twenty five season,

1636
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 2: and you know, look, the future always has a way

1637
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 2: of arriving ahead of schedule. They're kicking off in about

1638
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 2: four and a half months. A little bore than that,

1639
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 2: less than five months month. His Kirk Cousin has started

1640
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:07,639
Speaker 2: next year. If so, where all right? I don't know

1641
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 2: if kirk Cousins is willing to waive his no trade clause,

1642
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 2: certainly I doubt he would do it until after the

1643
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 2: draft on April twenty six. He's know what he's you

1644
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 2: know what he's in what he's in for. But that

1645
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,640
Speaker 2: that really makes the early draft telling for both the

1646
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:27,240
Speaker 2: Steelers and Browns the number two and number thirty three picks.

1647
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:30,599
Speaker 2: If either passes on an early quarterback and does not

1648
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:32,920
Speaker 2: add Aaron Rodgers, I mean, we know the Browns aren't

1649
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:37,719
Speaker 2: the Steelers good expect a trade offer. I think Atlanta

1650
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:41,879
Speaker 2: will clearly listen to a trade offer on Kirk Cousins.

1651
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 2: And I just don't think, with all the respect, Pittsburgh

1652
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 2: wants to go into the season with Mason Rudolph in

1653
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:52,560
Speaker 2: Skyler Thompson. With all due respect, believe it or not,

1654
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 2: this might be the first time in history all thirty

1655
01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 2: two teams will have used the first round pick. All right,

1656
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:04,680
Speaker 2: this Dealers are on track to receive four additional compensatory

1657
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 2: picks in twenty twenty six, and they need a quarterback

1658
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:09,719
Speaker 2: or running back in a defensive tackle, so they could

1659
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 2: pull the maneuver similar to what the Vikings did last year.

1660
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 2: They mortgage delle their future picks to draft twice in

1661
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:19,720
Speaker 2: Round one. So teams with early second round picks are

1662
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 2: often tempted to trade into the first round. Thanks to

1663
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 2: the fifty year team option available to the players who

1664
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:29,680
Speaker 2: are drafted on Day one. That's exactly why the Panthers

1665
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 2: traded up one spot last year to draft wide receiver

1666
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:39,440
Speaker 2: Xavier Lagett at number thirty two. By the way, Baltimore

1667
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:43,719
Speaker 2: did sever a very clever maneuver along those same lines

1668
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 2: years ago when they drafted a guy you may have

1669
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 2: heard of who turned out to be great, Lamar Jackson.

1670
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 2: By the way, my opinion of Lamar Jackson coming out

1671
01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 2: of Louisville with spectac I thought he was outstanding. Didn't

1672
01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:57,799
Speaker 2: get enough credit for his ability to operate in the pocket,

1673
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 2: his vision, his accuracy, and you know he hasn't wont

1674
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 2: anything yet. But Lamar Jackson is the man, okay, and

1675
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:07,599
Speaker 2: who's still got a lot of football ahead him. But

1676
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 2: I remember in Louisville. At Louisville, I digressed for a

1677
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 2: second here, there were games that he you know, teed

1678
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:15,920
Speaker 2: it up against SEC teams and he had some of

1679
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 2: his best games while at Louisville. So anyway, as it

1680
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 2: stands right now, this draft could be the first time

1681
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 2: in NFL history all thirty two teams make a first

1682
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:27,600
Speaker 2: round pick. Am I predicting that's gonna happen? No, I'm not,

1683
01:29:28,240 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 2: especially after you saw five first round picks move in

1684
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 2: draft day trades among the ten total just last year alone. Okay,

1685
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:41,719
Speaker 2: the other question you have, how much do Michael Parsons, TJ. Watt,

1686
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:45,599
Speaker 2: and Brock Purdy get via their extensions. They're gonna get

1687
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 2: a lot. I know I'm hearing. I mean, the forty

1688
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:53,760
Speaker 2: nine's are clearing cap space right left to pay Rock Purdy, TJ. Watt.

1689
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 2: He's got to stay healthy, but he is when he's

1690
01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:00,000
Speaker 2: on his game. And then Michael Parsons, come on, let's

1691
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,679
Speaker 2: he might be the best athlete on the Cowboys. Seems

1692
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 2: like a good dude too. I don't know what's going

1693
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,480
Speaker 2: on there. You'd never know what's going on with the Cowboys.

1694
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:13,080
Speaker 2: But that's just just the Cowboys. So, now that we

1695
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 2: have laid out the five pressing questions that have yet

1696
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 2: to be answered in the twenty twenty five NFL season

1697
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 2: that need to be answered here sooner rather than later.

1698
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:29,720
Speaker 2: If you go back twenty five years, if you look

1699
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:35,120
Speaker 2: at who the first quarterback is drafted, how often does

1700
01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:40,160
Speaker 2: the first quarterback drafted become the best quarterback in that class.

1701
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 2: We're going to take a look down memory lane and

1702
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 2: go back the last twenty five years, it might very

1703
01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 2: well surprise you. By the way, for the best pregame

Speaker 2: Come your liar from me Tyrek dot com studios here

1719
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:40,839
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, about forty minutes away from fresh editions

1720
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:44,400
Speaker 2: of what kind of brand new fool you followed by

1721
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:49,800
Speaker 2: what my name? All right, So there's basically five quarterbacks

1722
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:53,559
Speaker 2: that are talked about most in this draft, which will

1723
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:56,559
Speaker 2: be a week from Thursday, the NFL Draft. Obviously cam Ward,

1724
01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:02,560
Speaker 2: the widely debated Shador Sanders, Shall, Jackson Dart, and Jalen Milroe.

1725
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,679
Speaker 2: What do we know if we go back twenty five years,

1726
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:11,799
Speaker 2: how often does the first quarterback drafted become the best

1727
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:16,800
Speaker 2: quarterback in that class? See this year it appears that

1728
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 2: cam Word is the undisputed top quarterback and likely the

1729
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 2: number one pick. Then there's a gap. Okay. What's interesting

1730
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:28,400
Speaker 2: is depending on your personal feelings, your objective truth, or

1731
01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:31,080
Speaker 2: what you're rooting for, or maybe you just have a

1732
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 2: better crystal ball than the rest of us. There are

1733
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:38,759
Speaker 2: widely debated opinions on Shudor Sanders, who they say, Scott's

1734
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:41,640
Speaker 2: say has the accuracy to maybe be a top ten quarterback,

1735
01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 2: but he's falling down these mock draft boards due to

1736
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 2: what Scott says actually limited arms, drength in poor pocket presence. Okay,

1737
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 2: these your paper to get paid to do this, And

1738
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:54,800
Speaker 2: by the way, it's an inexact art. It's in an

1739
01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:58,280
Speaker 2: exact science. So don't lose your lunch over this. Because

1740
01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:00,439
Speaker 2: Sudor Sanders might lead a team to this Super Bowl

1741
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 2: next year. Not predicting that. But you know, predicting the

1742
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:06,640
Speaker 2: future is not an easy thing to do, so I

1743
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:08,719
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't see him as a top ten pick.

1744
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:11,680
Speaker 2: I've said it a thousand times. He does not have

1745
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 2: that one elite superhuman skill, that one superpower. I don't

1746
01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 2: think he's ready to truly help fix a bad team.

1747
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 2: That's what your top ten guy's got to be. That's

1748
01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:23,600
Speaker 2: why I think he could fall to twenty one at

1749
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:27,639
Speaker 2: the Steelers. We shall see, all right. I don't think

1750
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 2: Tyler Show is in the first round. I don't think

1751
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:33,639
Speaker 2: Jackson Dark was being the first round, although there's wild

1752
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:36,600
Speaker 2: speculation that the Saints might draft Jackson Dart. I don't know.

1753
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:39,599
Speaker 2: I'm not predicting it, relaxed. I'm not sure if Jalen

1754
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 2: Melroe is a second round guy, but I think he'll

1755
01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:45,320
Speaker 2: be drafted somewhere. But here's the deal. The bad news

1756
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:48,639
Speaker 2: for cam Ord. This is all speculative, but we're drawing

1757
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 2: on history. If you fast forward a decade, it's more

1758
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 2: likely that someone other than him, the first quarterback drafted,

1759
01:33:56,439 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 2: is going to become the best passer in the class,

1760
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 2: because if you go back the last twenty five years,

1761
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,479
Speaker 2: the first quarterback draft that has become the best pro

1762
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:08,160
Speaker 2: only forty percent of the time. So remember, back in

1763
01:34:08,160 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 2: two thousand, Chad Pennington was picked number eighteen overall. He

1764
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:15,760
Speaker 2: was picked one hundred and eighty one picks the head

1765
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 2: of a guy by the name of, wait for it,

1766
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:23,760
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. So it was Chad Pennington the best and

1767
01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:26,599
Speaker 2: he was pretty good with the Jets. I thought only

1768
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,439
Speaker 2: ten times in twenty five years as the first quarterback

1769
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:33,679
Speaker 2: draft to become the best quarterback in the class. Okay,

1770
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 2: now it's hard to identify future franchise quarterbacks. That's the

1771
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:43,720
Speaker 2: word I want to use, because you know, let's just

1772
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 2: go back two three years ago. Kenny Pickett was the

1773
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:51,719
Speaker 2: first quarterback drafted. Is he serviceable? Sure? Rock Purty's already

1774
01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:54,559
Speaker 2: going to a Super Bowl. So Kenny Pickett was not

1775
01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:58,519
Speaker 2: the best quarterback even though he was the first quarterback

1776
01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 2: drafted in twenty twenty two. The year after that, Bryce Young,

1777
01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 2: who I think a lot. I'm not giving up on

1778
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 2: that guy. He was the first quarterback in that draft.

1779
01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:09,919
Speaker 2: But you can't tell me he's been better than c J. Stroud,

1780
01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:13,040
Speaker 2: not even close. And then just last year, just a

1781
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:18,040
Speaker 2: year ago, Caleb Williams was the first quarterback drafted. But

1782
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,639
Speaker 2: I don't think I'd get much argument if we were

1783
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 2: to suggest that Jaden Daniels was the best quarterback of

1784
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 2: last year's draft. Now, there was a three year run there, Okay.

1785
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:34,320
Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, Carler Murray was the first quarterback drafted

1786
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:36,840
Speaker 2: in that class, No argument he's the best one. Joe

1787
01:35:36,920 --> 01:35:39,519
Speaker 2: Burrow the following year, and then Trevor Lawrence. Some might

1788
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:41,880
Speaker 2: debate Trevor Lawrence, but let's face it, these guys have

1789
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:44,080
Speaker 2: been starter since they set foot in the league, and

1790
01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 2: they've had their shriff moments. Burrow has been to a

1791
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 2: super Bowl and could have easily won it. Now let's

1792
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 2: go back to twenty eighteen. A name that came up

1793
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 2: earlier in the midnight hour, Baker Mayfield drafted number one overall,

1794
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 2: but was either the best quarterback in that draft. There's

1795
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:03,719
Speaker 2: no way you can say that Lamar Jackson was also

1796
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 2: in that draft. Josh Allen was also in that draft.

1797
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 2: He was not the first quarterback. He was not the

1798
01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 2: best quarterback drafted, even though he was the first one.

1799
01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 2: The year before that, twenty seventeen Mitch Trubisky. Now Trubisky

1800
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 2: had three decent years in Chicago, gets no Love, went

1801
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:24,960
Speaker 2: to the playoffs two out of the three years completed,

1802
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 2: sixty seven percent of his passes would have won a

1803
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:29,559
Speaker 2: playoff game and a half for the double doink. And

1804
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 2: they ran him ount of Ton on a rail because

1805
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 2: Justin Fields was supposed to be the savior. How'd that

1806
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:37,839
Speaker 2: work out? But regardless, Trubisky was not the best quarterback

1807
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 2: in that draft in twenty seventeen, even though he was

1808
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:43,640
Speaker 2: the first quarterback drafted. That would be a guy by

1809
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 2: the name of Patrick Mahomes. Now in twenty sixteen, I

1810
01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:51,599
Speaker 2: think this is debatable. Jared Goff was the first quarterback drafted.

1811
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:57,599
Speaker 2: The consensus based on statistics might suggest for some people

1812
01:36:57,760 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 2: that I think are delusional that Dak Prescott was the

1813
01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 2: best quarterback in that draft. I'll take golf over Prescott

1814
01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:09,679
Speaker 2: any day. Then twice on Sunday on twenty fifteen, Jameis

1815
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 2: Winston was considered, well, he was the first quarterback drafted

1816
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:17,160
Speaker 2: in that draft and not a great quarterback draft, and

1817
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:19,400
Speaker 2: he probably was the best quarterback in that draft. Ten

1818
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:22,240
Speaker 2: years later, he still got a job in the NFL.

1819
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:26,040
Speaker 2: Now twenty fourteen, a little more debatable. Blake Portles was

1820
01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:29,760
Speaker 2: drafteds Well. He was the first quarterback drafted in the

1821
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:35,360
Speaker 2: draft with Derek Carr. Probably most consensus would agree he's better.

1822
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:39,439
Speaker 2: Twenty thirteen, eg Manual, you forgot about him already. He

1823
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:41,679
Speaker 2: was the first quarterback in that draft, but Gino Smith

1824
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 2: still around. He was drafted afterward. He's probably the best

1825
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:48,639
Speaker 2: quarterback in that draft because he just got a seventy

1826
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 2: five million dollary. He's been a serviceable guy and the

1827
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:54,479
Speaker 2: Raiders are counting on him big time. So if you

1828
01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 2: look at those years as an example, okay, that's just

1829
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 2: a quick ten year run. Few hits and misses. Okay.

1830
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:09,960
Speaker 2: The most painful for the respective franchises were clearly Mitch Trubisky.

1831
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 2: He was drafted number two over Patrick Mahomes, who was

1832
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 2: drafted till the tenth. He was pick tenth overall in

1833
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. In twenty eighteen, Baker Mayfield was drafted number

1834
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 2: one and up Listen, Baker Mayfield's had a good career,

1835
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 2: but let's we forget they kind of ran him out

1836
01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:30,799
Speaker 2: of Cleveland, even though I think he deserves more credit

1837
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 2: than what he got. And then he ended up with

1838
01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:38,639
Speaker 2: Carolina ended up with the Rams for a cup of coffee,

1839
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 2: and now he seems to have found a home in

1840
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:42,600
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. So if you're on your fourth team in

1841
01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:46,240
Speaker 2: seven years, you're gonna turn heads. But I think there's

1842
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:49,880
Speaker 2: a context here, and I think Baker Mayfield's really done

1843
01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 2: a great job in Tampa Bay. But as the number

1844
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 2: one overall pick in twenty eighteen, nobody's gonna argue that

1845
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,479
Speaker 2: he's better than Josh Allen, who was drafted seven overall,

1846
01:38:59,840 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 2: and then Lamar Jackson was thirty second. He was the

1847
01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:07,360
Speaker 2: fifth quarterback drafted. Both of them definitely better. By the way,

1848
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:09,920
Speaker 2: let's go all the way back to twenty oh five.

1849
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:14,080
Speaker 2: I've always liked Alex Smith class act. Had a lot

1850
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:17,960
Speaker 2: of very serviceable years in the NFL. Did a great

1851
01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 2: job in San Francisco before he gave way to Colin

1852
01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:23,920
Speaker 2: Kaepernick for the one year. Did a great job in

1853
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City before he gave way to Patrick Mahomes. But

1854
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:29,760
Speaker 2: you can't really say Alex Smith, even though he's number

1855
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:32,200
Speaker 2: one out of Utah in two thousand and five, was

1856
01:39:32,240 --> 01:39:36,160
Speaker 2: the best quarterback in that draft. That would have to

1857
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 2: be Aaron Rodgers, who fell all the way to twenty

1858
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 2: four so look, it's only been in the last twelve

1859
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:49,200
Speaker 2: years that it's been the hit rate has been worse.

1860
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:52,680
Speaker 2: The first ten years, there were several years where the

1861
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:54,600
Speaker 2: first quarterback draft, and I'm not going to do the

1862
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:58,719
Speaker 2: roll call Boia was spot on. And then the thirteen

1863
01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:02,640
Speaker 2: years prior to Buffalo's EJ. Manuel that was a head scratcher.

1864
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 2: It dropped to about every other year half the time.

1865
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:11,680
Speaker 2: And look, drafting a quarterback is an inexact art, It's

1866
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 2: an inexact science. I mean, look, Chad penningteam was drafted

1867
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:19,840
Speaker 2: ahead of Tom Brady. Now, I like Michael Vick a

1868
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:22,439
Speaker 2: lot that he was drafted ahead of Drew Brees. Breeze

1869
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:27,559
Speaker 2: is going to the Hall of Fame. You know, I've

1870
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 2: already told you about Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers, Vince Young,

1871
01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:35,519
Speaker 2: Jay Cutler, JaMarcus Edward, JaMarcus Russell. Okay, now, there was

1872
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 2: a five year stretch Andrew luck was drafted first. He

1873
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:40,880
Speaker 2: was the best quarterback in that draft. Same with Cam

1874
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 2: Newton in twenty eleven, Sam Bradford in twenty ten, Matt

1875
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:46,599
Speaker 2: Stafford No. Nine, draft number one overall, wile the lines,

1876
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:51,320
Speaker 2: and then Matt Ryan in eight. Okay, so what does

1877
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:55,360
Speaker 2: all this mean. What it means is in spite of

1878
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 2: the fact that there's been a lot of conjecture about

1879
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 2: Schador saying, don't be so quick to dismiss Shudoor Sanders,

1880
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:07,639
Speaker 2: who in the right system could bre a brock Purty type.

1881
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:11,760
Speaker 2: And that's a compliment. Okay, I'm not writing this dude off.

1882
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:15,559
Speaker 2: Not in a million years. I would just say that,

1883
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:19,960
Speaker 2: you know, I'm uncertain about him. You know, I'm not

1884
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 2: like dollar bill and billions or he is not uncertain.

1885
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 2: I am uncertain about Shadoor Sanders. But that's why, you know,

1886
01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:31,439
Speaker 2: that's what makes a horse race. So I'm really looking

1887
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:34,439
Speaker 2: forward to this draft and looking forward to see how

1888
01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 2: some of these guys. Some of these guys fare, by

1889
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:39,960
Speaker 2: the way, a subject I want to get to before

1890
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:45,759
Speaker 2: I forget, because next week at this time, the NCAA

1891
01:41:46,840 --> 01:41:54,839
Speaker 2: Football Spring Portal will open. It opens Wednesday, the sixteenth,

1892
01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:59,400
Speaker 2: I believe in it's nine days now. If the basketball

1893
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:04,920
Speaker 2: portal is any indicator, the football portal should just be pandemonium,

1894
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:09,639
Speaker 2: more pandemonium, because right now the NCAA is in transfer

1895
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 2: portal chaos. According to my research, right now there are

1896
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 2: about twenty one hundred men's NCAA Division One basketball players

1897
01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:23,959
Speaker 2: who've entered the transfer portal as of April tenth, according

1898
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:29,479
Speaker 2: to verbal commits. This is what's crazy. There were fifty

1899
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:32,040
Speaker 2: six hundred players at the beginning of the twenty twenty

1900
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:40,760
Speaker 2: four twenty twenty five season on Division one rosters. This

1901
01:42:40,840 --> 01:42:43,439
Speaker 2: is one in three who've entered the portal, including players

1902
01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 2: who will graduate this year. It's actually thirty five percent

1903
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:50,040
Speaker 2: now all the players are on scholarships, meaning, you know,

1904
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:52,559
Speaker 2: some of the players in a transfer portal will make

1905
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 2: up a greater share of minutes and benefits. And while

1906
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:59,200
Speaker 2: the number of you know, people who aspire to transfer

1907
01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:03,599
Speaker 2: as yet, I think it's just barely passed last years total.

1908
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 2: Twenty and eighty eight players can still enter the portal.

1909
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:12,040
Speaker 2: It's going to remain open until April twenty second. That's

1910
01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 2: a thirty day portal at college basketball. It's a ninety

1911
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 2: eight portal in college football. Okay, And again, not all

1912
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 2: the players will transfer schools. Players are allowed to return

1913
01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:24,840
Speaker 2: to their original school as long as the school is

1914
01:43:24,920 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 2: open to them returning. For instance, San Diego State seven

1915
01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:32,200
Speaker 2: foot freshman center Magoo Guath, he entered the portal on

1916
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:35,599
Speaker 2: the first state open on March twenty first, but eight

1917
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:40,080
Speaker 2: days later he returned to San Diego State. He's still

1918
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:43,840
Speaker 2: included in the count of verbal commits. Next Saturday night

1919
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:45,679
Speaker 2: during the midnight, we're going to get into this Nico

1920
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:49,880
Speaker 2: thing because here's why the portal opens. You know, UCLA

1921
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:52,799
Speaker 2: may snap him up. You know, I've read these reports

1922
01:43:52,840 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 2: where they have valuations on players, and someone had his

1923
01:43:56,200 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 2: valuation of like three point one million dollars. He's being

1924
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:00,200
Speaker 2: paid two point four I have no idea he in

1925
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:02,479
Speaker 2: hell how they figured that out. But what if he

1926
01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:04,800
Speaker 2: has the last laugh or not? As I said at

1927
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:07,519
Speaker 2: the top of the show, you got a guy begging

1928
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:12,040
Speaker 2: off his team the day before the spring game because

1929
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,640
Speaker 2: two point four million wasn't enough for him. We are

1930
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:16,920
Speaker 2: at an inflection point on what this whole thing was

1931
01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:19,479
Speaker 2: supposed to be. And by the way, it's not just men.

1932
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:23,080
Speaker 2: It's not just the men's basketball on the men's side

1933
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 2: that are entering the portal. Last Wednesday, it was reported

1934
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:31,879
Speaker 2: in a publication called on three that more than thirteen

1935
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 2: hundred women's D one players he entered the transfer portal,

1936
01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 2: which is about twenty five percent of women who were

1937
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:40,920
Speaker 2: on their rosters at the beginning of last season. All Right.

1938
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:44,560
Speaker 2: Among the transfers are to Nia Latson, she led the

1939
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:47,559
Speaker 2: NCAA and scoring last year, committed to South Carolina and

1940
01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:50,439
Speaker 2: Olivia Miles, the projected number two pick in the twenty

1941
01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 2: twenty five WNBA draft, who chose to return to college

1942
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:57,240
Speaker 2: and then transfer from Notre Dame to TCU. Now Yukon

1943
01:44:57,320 --> 01:45:00,840
Speaker 2: coach Gino Oriema, who just left the Huskies to his

1944
01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:05,519
Speaker 2: twelfth national championship, he has real qualms about the transfer portal.

1945
01:45:05,760 --> 01:45:07,719
Speaker 2: He says, what makes it Hardcolt is that the NBA,

1946
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,400
Speaker 2: they have free agency period of time, our free agencies

1947
01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 2: the whole year. The portal is open during the NCAA tournament.

1948
01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:16,080
Speaker 2: Can you imagine the NBA playoffs and free agency going

1949
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:19,400
Speaker 2: on during the playoffs. I mean, it's insanity. Now you're

1950
01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:22,519
Speaker 2: just thinking of that now. So this is the new

1951
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 2: inflection point we are at. And I was talking football

1952
01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:28,559
Speaker 2: earlier in the show. This is basketball. This is going

1953
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:31,960
Speaker 2: to continue. This is a story that's got legs. It

1954
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 2: ain't going away. Imagine being paid, Imagine being paid two

1955
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:41,320
Speaker 2: point four million dollars. According to Paul Finebaum, you're the

1956
01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:47,200
Speaker 2: sixth best quarterback in the SEC and two point four

1957
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 2: million is not enough for you. By the way, I

1958
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:53,439
Speaker 2: have one last thing on college basketball. I want to

1959
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:56,880
Speaker 2: get this out because I must. If I heard one

1960
01:45:56,920 --> 01:46:00,960
Speaker 2: talk show, I heard fifty talk shows saying as the

1961
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:05,160
Speaker 2: final four was assembled prior to you know, the tournament

1962
01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:08,240
Speaker 2: culminating with Houston losing in the last minute to Florida

1963
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 2: last Monday night, that, oh no, people don't hate Duke anymore.

1964
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 2: Oh they're likable. Now, did Cooper Flag make them likable?

1965
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 2: Are they likable? First of all, I never hated Duke.

1966
01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:22,920
Speaker 2: I don't hate excellence. You know, they started winning championships

1967
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:26,599
Speaker 2: and you know what, ninety one was their first and

1968
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 2: they won a bunch of them. And there's this sery

1969
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:32,960
Speaker 2: now that you know, because there's no Christian Latner, you know,

1970
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:36,880
Speaker 2: Grand Hill or tie Its. We don't hate Duke anymore,

1971
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 2: They're okay. Well, hell, I know why you don't Hateduke anywhere?

1972
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 2: They don't win anymore. Did you know over the last

1973
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:44,840
Speaker 2: ten years, Well you already you probably already did know this.

1974
01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 2: Duke hasn't won a national championship in over ten years now,

1975
01:46:51,280 --> 01:46:57,200
Speaker 2: despite having thirty five five star players twenty eight McDonald's

1976
01:46:57,240 --> 01:47:04,200
Speaker 2: All Americans, eighteen first round picks, nine Top five prospects,

1977
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:09,120
Speaker 2: eight lottery picks, seven top ten prospects, three number one prospects,

1978
01:47:09,600 --> 01:47:12,639
Speaker 2: two number one overall draft picks, and I think there'll

1979
01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:16,519
Speaker 2: be a third here when Cooper flags or drafted. Yes,

1980
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:19,920
Speaker 2: and yes. The only two times they made the Final four,

1981
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:26,360
Speaker 2: they lost both times, and there are expectations. I'm in Vegas.

1982
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:28,720
Speaker 2: That's a total of three hundred and fifty four games

1983
01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 2: in the last ten years, and Duke was favored in

1984
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:34,320
Speaker 2: three hundred and sixteen of those three hundred and fifty

1985
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:39,080
Speaker 2: four games in that span, including their loss to Houston

1986
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 2: in the Final four. That's why you don't hate Duke,

1987
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:46,439
Speaker 2: because they don't win anymore. Save the speeches. By the way,

01:48:26,600 --> 01:48:30,040
Speaker 2: round of the draft, live right here on Fox Sports Radio,

1999
01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 2: brought to you by ship Station. Coming up, as we

2000
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:40,559
Speaker 2: head toward the NBA playoffs, what are some talking points?

2001
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:45,439
Speaker 2: What are some end of the season questions thoughts as

2002
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:49,280
Speaker 2: you head into the postseason. And I gotta say you,

2003
01:48:49,479 --> 01:48:51,880
Speaker 2: the news cycler around the NBA has been more fervent

2004
01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:55,599
Speaker 2: this year that I can remember in recent years. We'll

2005
01:48:55,640 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 2: touch on some of that for you. NBA Walks is,

2006
01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 2: by the way, eleven hours away from what will feel

2007
01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:05,120
Speaker 2: like a playoff game. Steph Curry is calling this a

2008
01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 2: game seven. If the Golden State Warriors win, they will

2009
01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:11,320
Speaker 2: lock in the sixth seed. They'll be in the real playoffs.

2010
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 2: They'll face off against the Lakers. If not, they run

2011
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 2: the danger of finding themselves in the playoff. And by

2012
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:19,559
Speaker 2: the way, later in the show, we're gonna break this

2013
01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:21,600
Speaker 2: down the chaos and the west and who's got to

2014
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:25,439
Speaker 2: do what, where and when to qualify for the playoffs.

2015
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:27,640
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddle. We are coming to line from the

01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 2: Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right back on the

2019
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:38,639
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Come you live from

2020
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 2: the Tyrek dot com studios here in a Las Vegas,

2021
01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:47,160
Speaker 2: just sixteen minutes away from the dance Sensation sweep in

2022
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:50,160
Speaker 2: the nation. What kind of brand new fool of you?

2023
01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:56,200
Speaker 2: Followed by what my name? Before I get into some

2024
01:49:56,280 --> 01:50:00,960
Speaker 2: of these questions facing NBA T teams as we head

2025
01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. I don't know that I've looked as

2026
01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:07,000
Speaker 2: forward to a regular season game as I am. It'll

2027
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 2: tip off in a little over eleven hours from now,

2028
01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:15,040
Speaker 2: the Golden State Warriors face off at home or four

2029
01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:18,280
Speaker 2: and a half point favorites against the Clippers. This is

2030
01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:21,360
Speaker 2: about a highest stakes regular season games there can be,

2031
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:24,840
Speaker 2: and it happens to be the season final because the

2032
01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:28,240
Speaker 2: winner clinches a top six seed in the Western Conference

2033
01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:31,960
Speaker 2: and the loser potentially falls to the playing tournament. Now,

2034
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:34,240
Speaker 2: Steph Curry, who's been in this year? Are big games

2035
01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:38,160
Speaker 2: and not the least of which was the Olympic gold

2036
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,439
Speaker 2: medal game last year in all the NBA Finals games,

2037
01:50:40,720 --> 01:50:44,040
Speaker 2: said quote on only be too dramatic, but this should

2038
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:46,240
Speaker 2: be kind of a game seven kind of vibe. You win,

2039
01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:49,360
Speaker 2: you control your destiny, and a guaranteed playoff series if

2040
01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:52,240
Speaker 2: you lose your role. The dice wouldn't quite call it

2041
01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 2: a game seven, because if you lose a Game seven,

2042
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:56,920
Speaker 2: you go home. Warriors are going to be in the playoffs.

2043
01:50:57,040 --> 01:50:59,080
Speaker 2: Question is whether or not they're in the playing or

2044
01:50:59,120 --> 01:51:01,680
Speaker 2: they face the lake. By the way, I don't think

2045
01:51:01,680 --> 01:51:04,719
Speaker 2: the Warriors want to be in the plane for whatever reason.

2046
01:51:04,720 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 2: They're zero to three in the play at tourney, and

2047
01:51:07,880 --> 01:51:09,680
Speaker 2: even Draymond Green went on to say it will be

2048
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 2: like a playoff game, super intense, two teams fighting for

2049
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:15,879
Speaker 2: the playoff lives. Expect to be a very physical, high intelligence,

2050
01:51:15,920 --> 01:51:20,200
Speaker 2: high level basketball game. And you know, tip of the

2051
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:22,240
Speaker 2: cat to the Clippers this year. I mean, if the

2052
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:25,479
Speaker 2: basketball gods for once can smile on these guys, at

2053
01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 2: least keep them healthy during the playoffs. Right. Speaking of that,

2054
01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:32,519
Speaker 2: you know Steph Currs no spring chicken. Now he's thirty seven,

2055
01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:36,960
Speaker 2: and he aggravated his right thumb the other night, and

2056
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:38,920
Speaker 2: that you know, that's his shooting thumb, and he said

2057
01:51:38,920 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 2: it affects it a little bit. Look, we don't know

2058
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:43,080
Speaker 2: how much it's going to affect it. He says, it

2059
01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:45,639
Speaker 2: hurts right now, I'll be all right, But you'd rather

2060
01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:48,480
Speaker 2: not have that than have it. Steph Curry is the

2061
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:52,680
Speaker 2: heart and soul of the of the Golden State Warriors.

2062
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:55,360
Speaker 2: So as we end the season and what's been a

2063
01:51:55,520 --> 01:52:01,000
Speaker 2: very eventful NBA season, very newsworthy, noteworthy the NBA season,

2064
01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:05,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I think people are still probably shaking their

2065
01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:08,559
Speaker 2: heads in Dallas. They all thought that trade was a joke.

2066
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:11,960
Speaker 2: On Saturday night, what seven eight weeks ago now, when

2067
01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 2: it was reported that Luca was traded for for Anthony Davis. No,

2068
01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 2: you know it was people were scratching their heads. And

2069
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:24,479
Speaker 2: you know then Michael Malone, who just you know, ten

2070
01:52:24,560 --> 01:52:29,559
Speaker 2: years with the Denver Nuggets, was just unceremoniously fired a

2071
01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:33,040
Speaker 2: couple of days ago, just two years removed from a championship. So,

2072
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:36,400
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know how momentum works heading into playoffs.

2073
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:38,400
Speaker 2: You'd rather be in good shape than not good shape.

2074
01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 2: So the question is which of these teams that are

2075
01:52:41,200 --> 01:52:44,639
Speaker 2: headed to the playoffs in terms of how they look

2076
01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:46,639
Speaker 2: now would be the most concerning to you as a fan.

2077
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:50,799
Speaker 2: You folks in Milwaukee, the Bucks appear to be stumbling

2078
01:52:50,800 --> 01:52:53,680
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. They're only six and six in their

2079
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,840
Speaker 2: last twelve games, and they're only certain of a top

2080
01:52:55,880 --> 01:53:00,719
Speaker 2: six finish because the teams in the East that are

2081
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:04,960
Speaker 2: surrounding them have more shortcomings. But it doesn't bode well,

2082
01:53:04,960 --> 01:53:07,760
Speaker 2: this is a team. How can it be that the

2083
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:12,679
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks their offense ranks outside of the top ten

2084
01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:16,799
Speaker 2: and they lost to twenty five point score Now, Damian

2085
01:53:16,840 --> 01:53:20,479
Speaker 2: Lillard's blood clot issue and his ten game absence has

2086
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 2: basically forced Jnis to carry the team on his back,

2087
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:27,439
Speaker 2: and he's basically been averaging a triple double. And they

2088
01:53:27,479 --> 01:53:32,040
Speaker 2: say there's a chance Lillard can return before the postseason.

2089
01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:36,000
Speaker 2: But here's the problem the Bucks, and you look at

2090
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:39,920
Speaker 2: that roster. They're eleven and twenty against teams with better

2091
01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:42,360
Speaker 2: than five hundred records, And the teams are going to

2092
01:53:42,400 --> 01:53:45,000
Speaker 2: be playing in the playoffs, most of them we're going

2093
01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:48,240
Speaker 2: to have better than five hundred records. Now, how about

2094
01:53:48,280 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 2: the Sacramento Kings two years ago, they had this feel

2095
01:53:51,200 --> 01:53:55,120
Speaker 2: good season. They finished forty six and thirty six, and

2096
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:56,920
Speaker 2: then they missed the playoffs the next year. Now this

2097
01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 2: year they let go of Mike Brown, they're bringing Doug Christy.

2098
01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:02,200
Speaker 2: In December, they were forced to trade the Aaron Fox

2099
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:06,040
Speaker 2: a couple months later. Sacto's lost seven of the last

2100
01:54:06,040 --> 01:54:09,639
Speaker 2: ten games. They'll make the playing tournament most likely because

2101
01:54:09,720 --> 01:54:12,880
Speaker 2: this for whatever reason, the Phoenix Suns, with all their talent,

2102
01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:14,840
Speaker 2: just can't get out of their own way. And they're

2103
01:54:14,880 --> 01:54:19,519
Speaker 2: skiddy again. But the Kings seem headed for not fun

2104
01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:25,719
Speaker 2: offseason and DeMar De Rosen and Demontese Bonis I think

2105
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:28,400
Speaker 2: maybe they're not happy there anymore. And DeMont Bonas is

2106
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:33,480
Speaker 2: a rebounding machine. How about the Memphis Grizzlies. What kind

2107
01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:37,160
Speaker 2: of train ark is this? This team? You fire your

2108
01:54:37,160 --> 01:54:39,400
Speaker 2: head coach on the eve of the postseason, that's generally

2109
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:45,240
Speaker 2: a sign that things were going as planned, and typically

2110
01:54:45,480 --> 01:54:48,600
Speaker 2: throughout the history of the NBA, when a head coach

2111
01:54:48,720 --> 01:54:52,400
Speaker 2: is fired, it temporarily lights a fire under the team

2112
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:56,040
Speaker 2: and propels him to you know, an uptick. But since

2113
01:54:56,080 --> 01:54:58,640
Speaker 2: Taylor Jenkins got fired, the Grizzlies are only two and three,

2114
01:54:59,520 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 2: and one of the those victories came on a Jamaran

2115
01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:06,040
Speaker 2: buzzer beater with his new grenade celebration. So bottom line,

2116
01:55:06,080 --> 01:55:08,840
Speaker 2: simply put with or without Jenkins, Memphis doesn't look like

2117
01:55:08,840 --> 01:55:11,520
Speaker 2: a playoff team. They haven't looked like a playoff team

2118
01:55:11,520 --> 01:55:15,080
Speaker 2: for months. They're eighteenth in offensive, raiding and defensive ratings

2119
01:55:15,080 --> 01:55:17,760
Speaker 2: since the all start break, and they're only ten and

2120
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:20,800
Speaker 2: fifteen in the last twenty five games, or eighth in the West.

2121
01:55:21,600 --> 01:55:25,480
Speaker 2: That team's got talent, but they're stumbling into the playoffs

2122
01:55:25,480 --> 01:55:28,840
Speaker 2: along with Milwaukee and Sacramento. All right, none of them

2123
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:32,240
Speaker 2: are title contenders in my view. So which title contender

2124
01:55:32,760 --> 01:55:37,120
Speaker 2: should you be most worried about? Will it be Boston? Well,

2125
01:55:37,280 --> 01:55:40,640
Speaker 2: they depend heavily on three pointers, forty six percent of

2126
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:43,720
Speaker 2: their points coming from behind the arc, only forty percent

2127
01:55:43,800 --> 01:55:47,240
Speaker 2: coming from in front of the arc. And if you

2128
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:50,760
Speaker 2: rely on that style, it's lived by the sword, die

2129
01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:54,360
Speaker 2: by the sword. It's got as obvious shortcomings. And you know,

2130
01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:57,160
Speaker 2: and when Boston wins, they shoot about thirty eight percent

2131
01:55:57,160 --> 01:55:59,240
Speaker 2: from behind the arc, but in their losses they only

2132
01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:03,560
Speaker 2: shoot about thirty three per Jalen Brown, his three point

2133
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:07,000
Speaker 2: proclivities have fallen off the cliff. He's shooting a career

2134
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:11,440
Speaker 2: worse thirty two percent from three point land Jalen Brown,

2135
01:56:11,520 --> 01:56:14,040
Speaker 2: and it was only twenty seven point nine percent in March.

2136
01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:17,880
Speaker 2: So the Celtics, they lose their punch when the threes

2137
01:56:17,880 --> 01:56:22,080
Speaker 2: aren't falling. Are the Celtics vulnerable, Yes, they are. They

2138
01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:27,839
Speaker 2: are vulnerable. The Denver Nuggets another incredible crazy year from NICOLEA. Jokic.

2139
01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:30,280
Speaker 2: He's gonna get MVP votes. I don't know if he'll

2140
01:56:30,280 --> 01:56:32,920
Speaker 2: win it be the fourth and fifth years average a

2141
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:35,960
Speaker 2: triple double. This year he has covered up a lot

2142
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:38,560
Speaker 2: of the stench in the Mile High City. The bottom line, though,

2143
01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 2: is the Nuggets have serious defensive issues that even Jokic

2144
01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:45,680
Speaker 2: can't cover up that will never bode well for a

2145
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:49,920
Speaker 2: deep playoff run. In the NBA. Denver has an incredibly

2146
01:56:50,120 --> 01:56:53,560
Speaker 2: poor defensive rating, among the worst in both conferences one

2147
01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:56,360
Speaker 2: to fifteen point one, and they're in the league's bottom

2148
01:56:56,440 --> 01:56:59,560
Speaker 2: half and conceding second half or second chance points. So

2149
01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 2: when you allow points off turnovers, when you allow second

2150
01:57:02,840 --> 01:57:05,080
Speaker 2: chance points, and your defensive rating is among the worst

2151
01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:08,560
Speaker 2: in the NBA, Nicole Jokich is not like Bugs Bunny,

2152
01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 2: who can play all nine positions at the same time

2153
01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:14,600
Speaker 2: in a baseball cartoon. Jokich does not have the supporting

2154
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:20,440
Speaker 2: cast to be a legitimate, legitimate title contender. I just

2155
01:57:20,480 --> 01:57:22,840
Speaker 2: don't see it. They could prove me wrong. Now, how

2156
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:25,480
Speaker 2: about the Lakers, I think they're flawed too. All right,

2157
01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:29,320
Speaker 2: you swap out Anthony Davis for Luca, and that obviously

2158
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:33,640
Speaker 2: puts them very much in the conversation. But the Lakers

2159
01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:36,520
Speaker 2: are still searching for I think real consistency heading into

2160
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:40,000
Speaker 2: the postseason. They're basically only fifteen and ten since the

2161
01:57:40,040 --> 01:57:42,680
Speaker 2: trade deadline, and they're in middle of the pack team

2162
01:57:42,800 --> 01:57:47,080
Speaker 2: in offensive and defensive rating, ranking thirteenth and sixteenth, respectively.

2163
01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 2: When you have Luca, Lebron and Austin Reeves on the floor,

2164
01:57:52,920 --> 01:57:57,600
Speaker 2: they look prolific offensively, But when they how is it

2165
01:57:57,680 --> 01:58:00,200
Speaker 2: over the last three hundred minutes they're a negative two

2166
01:58:00,200 --> 01:58:04,560
Speaker 2: point six net rating? All right, Now, Luca and Lebron

2167
01:58:04,600 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 2: have been responsible in their careers for outstanding finals runs individually.

2168
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:15,320
Speaker 2: I think the Western Conference, when push comes to shove,

2169
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 2: is going to be a bit too much for the Lakers.

2170
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:19,040
Speaker 3: Now.

2171
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:22,120
Speaker 2: I hate to do this, but there's always coaches on

2172
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:24,600
Speaker 2: the hot seat. Nick Nurse, I've always been a big

2173
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:28,160
Speaker 2: Nick Nurse fan he's got a championship petigree, he's got

2174
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:31,560
Speaker 2: a you know, he's experienced guy. But the Sixers and

2175
01:58:31,600 --> 01:58:35,520
Speaker 2: their star trio Joel Embiid, Paul George Tarreice Maxi, there

2176
01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:38,160
Speaker 2: are just a constant mash unit. Nurse could not find

2177
01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:40,920
Speaker 2: a consistent rotation. They had over twenty nine players on

2178
01:58:40,960 --> 01:58:43,879
Speaker 2: the roster in Philadelphia this year and the team floundered

2179
01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:47,240
Speaker 2: under five hundred. So you know, they can't fire the team.

2180
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:50,080
Speaker 2: So the coach is probably going to be gone. I

2181
01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:50,440
Speaker 2: hope not.

2182
01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:51,160
Speaker 21: I like him.

2183
01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:54,760
Speaker 2: Willie Green. Same situation with the New Orleans Pelicans. They're

2184
01:58:54,760 --> 01:58:56,760
Speaker 2: about to wrap up their fourth season with Willy Green

2185
01:58:56,840 --> 01:58:59,960
Speaker 2: in charge. They're way under five hundred. Finally, Mike Boden

2186
01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:04,040
Speaker 2: the Suns, they've had a disastrous season. They're outside the

2187
01:59:04,080 --> 01:59:06,400
Speaker 2: playoff picture. How does that happen when you've got Kevin

2188
01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:10,840
Speaker 2: Durant and Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Beal blamed Budenholzer

2189
01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:13,400
Speaker 2: for the decisions he's made, and it's been a really

2190
01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:16,640
Speaker 2: disappointing year for a team that on paper has a

2191
01:59:16,680 --> 01:59:19,600
Speaker 2: hell of a lot of talent. So I you know,

2192
01:59:19,880 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 2: the Warriors Clippers game is going to feel like a

2193
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:24,920
Speaker 2: playoff game here in about eleven and a half hours,

2194
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:26,960
Speaker 2: and I'm here for it, and it all starts up

2195
01:59:26,960 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 2: again this week coming up. What kind of brand new

2196
01:59:29,720 --> 01:59:32,680

Speaker 2: You know you love you can't without a dance sensation

2211
02:00:28,440 --> 02:00:32,280
Speaker 2: sweeping the nation. Look here on our show, we as

2212
02:00:32,360 --> 02:00:34,360
Speaker 2: Yogi Bert would say, you could observe a lot by

2213
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:38,160
Speaker 2: watching that's exactly what we do see because around this

2214
02:00:38,280 --> 02:00:41,640
Speaker 2: great country of ours, and even around the planet, well,

2215
02:00:41,720 --> 02:00:45,520
Speaker 2: human beings they engage in behaviors that are sometimes very questionable,

2216
02:00:46,200 --> 02:00:48,720
Speaker 2: and oftentimes they can land you in trouble. Sometimes it's

2217
02:00:48,720 --> 02:00:51,400
Speaker 2: innocuous slap on the rest. Other times it can be

2218
02:00:51,440 --> 02:00:55,400
Speaker 2: far more serious and even land you in jail. But

2219
02:00:55,440 --> 02:00:57,800
Speaker 2: anyway you slice it, any way you describe it, any

2220
02:00:57,800 --> 02:01:02,200
Speaker 2: way you characterize these actions, they always leave us scratching

2221
02:01:02,240 --> 02:01:05,480
Speaker 2: our head and asking ourselves, what kind of brand new

2222
02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:11,200
Speaker 2: fool are you?

2223
02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:12,200
Speaker 18: So?

2224
02:01:12,680 --> 02:01:14,640
Speaker 1: What kind of brand new fool are you?

2225
02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:19,680
Speaker 2: Well, everybody loves it when the ice cream truck comes

2226
02:01:19,720 --> 02:01:23,280
Speaker 2: down the street with their funny painted colors and blaring

2227
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:28,600
Speaker 2: noises and all that. It's reeks of happiness. Right, we

2228
02:01:28,680 --> 02:01:34,320
Speaker 2: take you this week to Slidell, Louisiana, where the owner

2229
02:01:34,480 --> 02:01:38,360
Speaker 2: of an ice cream truck is in trouble. Now, what

2230
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:41,360
Speaker 2: the hell would a ice cream truck driver be in

2231
02:01:41,440 --> 02:01:46,120
Speaker 2: trouble for when they make little kids happy? Well that's

2232
02:01:46,120 --> 02:01:49,120
Speaker 2: where the story begins. When the owner of this ice

2233
02:01:49,120 --> 02:01:54,800
Speaker 2: cream truck and Slidel, Louisiana was recently arrested. Say hello

2234
02:01:54,920 --> 02:01:59,360
Speaker 2: to Tamisha Moran forty two years old. Now she's got

2235
02:01:59,400 --> 02:02:03,160
Speaker 2: this blue ice cream truck. It's like an old converted

2236
02:02:03,200 --> 02:02:06,040
Speaker 2: school bus with all the flavors of the ice cream

2237
02:02:06,080 --> 02:02:09,080
Speaker 2: on the outside, coming up and down the streets. Even

2238
02:02:09,120 --> 02:02:13,520
Speaker 2: got a thing for space jam. Everything looks great and

2239
02:02:13,640 --> 02:02:19,000
Speaker 2: on the up and up until for reasons I can't explain.

2240
02:02:19,240 --> 02:02:20,800
Speaker 2: And by the way, the name of the business was

2241
02:02:20,840 --> 02:02:24,920
Speaker 2: Tammy's ice Cream and Sweet Treats. Yeah, sweet Treats, okay,

2242
02:02:25,800 --> 02:02:33,920
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. M miss to misson morn was

2243
02:02:34,360 --> 02:02:36,840
Speaker 2: driving down the road, but also ad an officer, police

2244
02:02:36,840 --> 02:02:43,040
Speaker 2: officer just happened to notice, for no particular reason, that

2245
02:02:43,160 --> 02:02:51,320
Speaker 2: the tags were expired on the truck and uh, the

2246
02:02:51,360 --> 02:02:57,120
Speaker 2: brake lights were out. Yeah, serious stuff. So about eleven

2247
02:02:57,240 --> 02:03:01,720
Speaker 2: thirty am in the morning, on one particular trail and

2248
02:03:02,520 --> 02:03:08,480
Speaker 2: slide Elouisiana, the officer decided he'd pulled them over. And

2249
02:03:08,560 --> 02:03:12,920
Speaker 2: what's interesting is he just kind of peeked inside and

2250
02:03:13,320 --> 02:03:16,200
Speaker 2: he saw melted ice cream everywhere in the freezer and

2251
02:03:16,240 --> 02:03:18,720
Speaker 2: on the counter and so on and so forth, and

2252
02:03:18,880 --> 02:03:21,320
Speaker 2: he decided he would take a little closer look. And

2253
02:03:21,400 --> 02:03:23,800
Speaker 2: as he opened up the freezer, he didn't see a

2254
02:03:23,840 --> 02:03:26,120
Speaker 2: hell of a lot of ice cream. He did see

2255
02:03:26,240 --> 02:03:29,960
Speaker 2: melted ice cream, but what he did see was meth

2256
02:03:30,880 --> 02:03:35,480
Speaker 2: and other drug paraphernalia along with can't make this stuff up?

2257
02:03:35,960 --> 02:03:40,400
Speaker 2: Two small puppies which are actually turned over to slide

2258
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:44,040
Speaker 2: Del animal control. No word, and if the puppies had

2259
02:03:44,040 --> 02:03:48,520
Speaker 2: been eating ice cream or they'd been exposed to meth, well,

2260
02:03:48,560 --> 02:03:53,520
Speaker 2: needless to say this. Morn was arrested for possession of narcotics,

2261
02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:58,440
Speaker 2: had an outstanding ward and multiple other traffic violations in

2262
02:03:58,440 --> 02:04:02,560
Speaker 2: addition to no brake lights and an expired license plate. Wow,

2263
02:04:03,600 --> 02:04:07,360
Speaker 2: so that idea of selling sweet treats turned out to

2264
02:04:07,360 --> 02:04:11,600
Speaker 2: be melted ice cream, meth and drug paraphernalia. Tamisha Morn

2265
02:04:11,680 --> 02:04:15,600
Speaker 2: of Slidell, Louisiana, what kind of brand new fool of you?

2266
02:04:18,320 --> 02:04:19,120
Speaker 2: All right, Brianna?

2267
02:04:20,840 --> 02:04:25,880
Speaker 22: Alrighty? So, in honor of our producer Shay, we're gonna

2268
02:04:25,920 --> 02:04:32,880
Speaker 22: head over to Orlando, Florida. Zachary Cameron Raymard, aged twenty three,

2269
02:04:33,840 --> 02:04:39,320
Speaker 22: was sentenced to six years for four million dollars spending

2270
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:42,800
Speaker 22: four million dollars on diamond grills and where he got

2271
02:04:42,840 --> 02:04:48,880
Speaker 22: this four million dollars was from COVID relief funds. He

2272
02:04:48,880 --> 02:04:52,000
Speaker 22: he was arrested for his restitution for a role in

2273
02:04:52,040 --> 02:04:56,640
Speaker 22: a fraud scheme where they had been stealing credit cards

2274
02:04:57,520 --> 02:05:02,040
Speaker 22: with the from the the EDD I guess, like the unemployment.

2275
02:05:03,480 --> 02:05:09,160
Speaker 22: So uh, he was caught at a local jewelry kind

2276
02:05:09,160 --> 02:05:10,680
Speaker 22: of like a like a kind of like on the

2277
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:15,040
Speaker 22: black market, I guess, like an undercover kind of jewelry

2278
02:05:15,120 --> 02:05:19,000
Speaker 22: thing that the cops were actually there like undercover, and

2279
02:05:19,120 --> 02:05:22,480
Speaker 22: so they caught him and they found all these credit

2280
02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:27,000
Speaker 22: cards through like from California all the way to Florida,

2281
02:05:28,360 --> 02:05:32,920
Speaker 22: and so that was worth about four million dollars. And

2282
02:05:33,080 --> 02:05:34,720
Speaker 22: the reason why they caught him was he was trying

2283
02:05:34,760 --> 02:05:36,840
Speaker 22: to buy some grills, you know, right, and you're just

2284
02:05:36,880 --> 02:05:39,520
Speaker 22: in your mouth like that's what's what's definitely what you

2285
02:05:39,520 --> 02:05:43,360
Speaker 22: would spend, uh, you know, four million dollars on definitely

2286
02:05:43,440 --> 02:05:44,200
Speaker 22: some new grills.

2287
02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:48,680
Speaker 2: So not like you Randy put off the government, Yeah,

2288
02:05:48,800 --> 02:05:51,720
Speaker 2: ripping off the government, ripping off COVID money, for ripping

2289
02:05:51,760 --> 02:05:52,080
Speaker 2: off the.

2290
02:05:52,800 --> 02:05:57,240
Speaker 22: Yes for grills of all the things to buy. So

2291
02:05:57,680 --> 02:06:01,200
Speaker 22: that fraud scheme ran from twenty twenty from until twenty

2292
02:06:01,320 --> 02:06:05,880
Speaker 22: twenty two, and he was caught in March, so about

2293
02:06:05,880 --> 02:06:10,480
Speaker 22: a month ago he pleaded guilty to wirefraud conspiracy. Also

2294
02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:17,640
Speaker 22: earlier this year, so Zachary Cameron, Raymard, a guy with

2295
02:06:17,760 --> 02:06:19,960
Speaker 22: two first names. What kind of brand new fool are you?

2296
02:06:22,800 --> 02:06:24,880
Speaker 2: A two year run of being a brand new fool?

2297
02:06:25,120 --> 02:06:27,240
Speaker 2: That seems like a brand new veteran.

2298
02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:32,160
Speaker 22: Fool, right, Golley and so six years. I don't think

2299
02:06:32,160 --> 02:06:33,839
Speaker 22: that's enough time. I'm gonna be honest.

2300
02:06:34,440 --> 02:06:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, four million dollars is a lot. You'd almost wonder

2301
02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:39,000
Speaker 2: if there's sentencing guidelines on that kind of stuff. That's

2302
02:06:39,040 --> 02:06:39,600
Speaker 2: a lot of money.

2303
02:06:39,640 --> 02:06:41,800
Speaker 22: I would do like seven years for each million, so

2304
02:06:41,800 --> 02:06:43,320
Speaker 22: I'd go like twenty eight years.

2305
02:06:45,120 --> 02:06:48,120
Speaker 2: All right, Well, that will wrap up another rousing edition

2306
02:06:48,320 --> 02:06:50,120
Speaker 2: of What kind of Brand New Fool Are You, which

2307
02:06:50,160 --> 02:06:53,600
Speaker 2: now allows us to setuey into our second favorite bit

2308
02:06:53,680 --> 02:06:59,560
Speaker 2: that we refer to as what my name? All Right?

2309
02:07:00,080 --> 02:07:02,360
Speaker 2: Mark Medena and I. Earlier in the show, we're talking

2310
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:07,440
Speaker 2: about the NBA MVPs, so we start with a trivia question.

2311
02:07:08,520 --> 02:07:14,360
Speaker 2: I am the first European player to ever win the

2312
02:07:14,520 --> 02:07:21,640
Speaker 2: MVP in the National Basketball Association. Here's a clue. Played

2313
02:07:21,680 --> 02:07:24,640
Speaker 2: for the same team that Luca used to play for. Brianna,

2314
02:07:24,680 --> 02:07:29,400
Speaker 2: What my name? Dirk Nowitzki is the guy German. Dirk

2315
02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:34,600
Speaker 2: Nowitzki got Dallas. They're only a championship too, all right,

2316
02:07:34,960 --> 02:07:40,560
Speaker 2: off and running, all right? So uh, we recently finished

2317
02:07:40,640 --> 02:07:45,720
Speaker 2: up a pretty exciting I thought, March Madness tournament. A

2318
02:07:45,720 --> 02:07:48,440
Speaker 2: lot of heavyweights, not a lot of uh, you know,

2319
02:07:48,520 --> 02:07:54,080
Speaker 2: Cinderella is not a lot of buzzer beaters. But nonetheless, okay, uh,

2320
02:07:54,440 --> 02:07:59,040
Speaker 2: I am the youngest coach to ever win. Let me

2321
02:07:59,120 --> 02:08:00,920
Speaker 2: let me try that again. I'm the youngest coach in

2322
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:08,400
Speaker 2: NCAA history to win the basketball championship. Mark Ramsey what

2323
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:14,080
Speaker 2: my name? And here's a clue. He did it very recently.

2324
02:08:15,880 --> 02:08:22,000
Speaker 2: He did it for a school called Florida.

2325
02:08:24,680 --> 02:08:27,480
Speaker 9: I was only thinking of the guy Hurley.

2326
02:08:27,120 --> 02:08:30,840
Speaker 2: With that other oh Bobby Hurley or Danny Hurley at Yukon. Yeah,

2327
02:08:30,880 --> 02:08:36,160
Speaker 2: he was not the youngest though. All right, I'm the

2328
02:08:36,200 --> 02:08:41,280
Speaker 2: youngest NCAA coach in history to win the NCAA basketball championship.

2329
02:08:41,680 --> 02:08:45,440
Speaker 2: Am I John Wooden? Am I John Calipari? Or am

2330
02:08:45,480 --> 02:08:49,240
Speaker 2: I Todd Golden Breed? What my name?

2331
02:08:49,400 --> 02:08:50,040
Speaker 8: Todd Golden?

2332
02:08:50,520 --> 02:08:53,680
Speaker 2: It is Todd Golden from Florida, who just a couple

2333
02:08:53,680 --> 02:08:56,040
Speaker 2: of years ago was coaching at San Francisco. Was a

2334
02:08:56,080 --> 02:08:59,360
Speaker 2: pretty savvy point guard at Saint Mary's. He now has

2335
02:08:59,400 --> 02:09:03,200
Speaker 2: the distinction. I believe he's thirty nine, the youngest coach

2336
02:09:03,280 --> 02:09:08,360
Speaker 2: to ever win the NCAA basketball Championship. Interestingly enough, had

2337
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:12,080
Speaker 2: Houston held on, Kelvin Samson would have been the oldest

2338
02:09:12,080 --> 02:09:15,680
Speaker 2: coach at sixty nine ever. Do it. Okay, let's switch

2339
02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:19,360
Speaker 2: to baseball, but we're gonna stick with awards, believe it

2340
02:09:19,480 --> 02:09:22,920
Speaker 2: or not. As a lifetime pitcher in the major leagues,

2341
02:09:23,560 --> 02:09:28,240
Speaker 2: I lost more games as a pitcher than anyone in history.

2342
02:09:29,040 --> 02:09:34,600
Speaker 2: Here's a clue. There's an award named after me, Mark Ramsey,

2343
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:35,360
Speaker 2: what my name.

2344
02:09:36,880 --> 02:09:39,360
Speaker 1: An award for the Is.

2345
02:09:39,320 --> 02:09:44,720
Speaker 2: It, Walter Johnson, Nolan Ryan, or Cy Young? It is

2346
02:09:44,800 --> 02:09:47,960
Speaker 2: sim Believe it or not. Cy Young lost more games

2347
02:09:48,480 --> 02:09:54,920
Speaker 2: than any other pitcher in major league history one and eleven,

2348
02:09:54,920 --> 02:09:57,600
Speaker 2: but he lost more than anybody else. All right, back

2349
02:09:57,640 --> 02:09:59,880
Speaker 2: to basketball. We were talking about this a little earlier

2350
02:09:59,880 --> 02:10:04,440
Speaker 2: than show. There have been multiple players do this. But

2351
02:10:04,600 --> 02:10:09,600
Speaker 2: I'm the most recent NBA player to average a triple

2352
02:10:09,680 --> 02:10:16,200
Speaker 2: double for a season. Brianna, what my name is? In fact?

2353
02:10:16,240 --> 02:10:19,040
Speaker 2: The guy he just did it this year. You know,

2354
02:10:19,200 --> 02:10:23,520
Speaker 2: I think Russell Westbrook's done elect three times Robertson. Yes,

2355
02:10:24,040 --> 02:10:29,480
Speaker 2: all right, so everybody's back a thousand, all right? Moving along? Uh,

2356
02:10:31,160 --> 02:10:35,040
Speaker 2: you know, Rory may win the Masters, we'll see, but

2357
02:10:35,160 --> 02:10:37,320
Speaker 2: whoever wins it this year, they won't be a repeat champ.

2358
02:10:38,280 --> 02:10:43,280
Speaker 2: I'm the last golfer to win back to back Masters.

2359
02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:47,400
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey what my name? And I've mentioned him many

2360
02:10:47,480 --> 02:10:48,560
Speaker 2: times during the show.

2361
02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:53,839
Speaker 13: Tonight, and it's a back to back winner.

2362
02:10:54,040 --> 02:10:58,040
Speaker 2: He got a big contract with Nike before he ever

2363
02:10:58,040 --> 02:11:02,960
Speaker 2: played a single round. That would be Tiger Woods, the

2364
02:11:03,080 --> 02:11:10,720
Speaker 2: last golfer to win back to back Masters championships. All right,

2365
02:11:11,280 --> 02:11:14,400
Speaker 2: last question where we're kind of sticking on this theme

2366
02:11:14,480 --> 02:11:19,360
Speaker 2: with awards A Now, there been for freshmen in the

2367
02:11:19,400 --> 02:11:24,240
Speaker 2: history of NCAA college basketball to win the prestigious John

2368
02:11:24,280 --> 02:11:29,000
Speaker 2: Wooden Award, but I'm the most recent freshman to win

2369
02:11:29,640 --> 02:11:32,160
Speaker 2: the John Wooden Award. Brianna, what my name?

2370
02:11:33,200 --> 02:11:33,480
Speaker 3: It is?

2371
02:11:33,520 --> 02:11:38,440
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag from Duke all right, So you guys bat

2372
02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:42,240
Speaker 2: in one thousand, Dirck Nowinski, Todd Goldensy Young, Nikola Jokich,

2373
02:11:42,320 --> 02:11:47,600
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods, and Cooper Flag. And that will also conclude

2374
02:11:48,040 --> 02:11:51,280
Speaker 2: what my Name as well as another rousing edition of

2375
02:11:51,720 --> 02:11:56,720

Speaker 2: We're back on the Bernie Fritle Show Fox Sports Radio

2397
02:13:02,680 --> 02:13:07,920
Speaker 2: Comedy lifcutarac dot com studios Here in Las Vegas, and

2398
02:13:07,960 --> 02:13:12,320
Speaker 2: as they say, and then there was one. Every NBA

2399
02:13:12,440 --> 02:13:15,880
Speaker 2: team has played eighty one games this year, but there

2400
02:13:16,040 --> 02:13:22,320
Speaker 2: is one left to play later today, and in many

2401
02:13:22,320 --> 02:13:26,560
Speaker 2: of these games there is a lot to be decided.

2402
02:13:27,920 --> 02:13:32,160
Speaker 2: So after what one hundred games, there are still several

2403
02:13:32,200 --> 02:13:35,600
Speaker 2: positions in the playoff standings and lottery standings are up

2404
02:13:35,640 --> 02:13:38,760
Speaker 2: for grabs, and really the real confusion actually a confusion,

2405
02:13:39,800 --> 02:13:44,440
Speaker 2: But the real dominoes are about to fall in the West.

2406
02:13:45,120 --> 02:13:47,000
Speaker 2: So here's what we know for sure. There's only three

2407
02:13:47,040 --> 02:13:50,080
Speaker 2: teams that are locked in. Nothing changes for them on

2408
02:13:50,160 --> 02:13:54,440
Speaker 2: Sunday regardless. The Oklahoma City Thunder. Okay, they've been locked

2409
02:13:54,440 --> 02:13:56,960
Speaker 2: into the top spot, not just in the conference but

2410
02:13:57,080 --> 02:14:00,560
Speaker 2: in the whole NBA, So no matter who a case plays,

2411
02:14:00,800 --> 02:14:03,640
Speaker 2: they're going to have home court advantage throughout the playoffs.

2412
02:14:04,160 --> 02:14:08,880
Speaker 2: If they beat New Orleans Sunday in New Orleans, they'll

2413
02:14:08,920 --> 02:14:11,000
Speaker 2: become the seventh team in NBA history to win at

2414
02:14:11,040 --> 02:14:13,640
Speaker 2: least sixty eight games in a season. Pretty good company,

2415
02:14:14,120 --> 02:14:15,560
Speaker 2: but it will go for not if theyn't at least

2416
02:14:15,560 --> 02:14:18,080
Speaker 2: get to the NBA Finals. How about the Houston Rockets

2417
02:14:18,120 --> 02:14:20,840
Speaker 2: give it up to Emiodoka. Rockets have been in the

2418
02:14:20,840 --> 02:14:23,520
Speaker 2: second spot for some time now. This is one of

2419
02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:26,879
Speaker 2: the most impressive campaigns, one of the most surprising seasons

2420
02:14:26,920 --> 02:14:29,760
Speaker 2: in the NBA in quite a while. Rockets have also

2421
02:14:29,840 --> 02:14:32,680
Speaker 2: locked up home court advantage across the opening two rounds,

2422
02:14:33,480 --> 02:14:36,960
Speaker 2: and we'll see if their success carries into the playoffs.

2423
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:40,720
Speaker 2: And then to the mercurial Los Angeles Lakers. They beat

2424
02:14:40,800 --> 02:14:43,560
Speaker 2: Houston crushed in by thirty, but Houston sattled their starters.

2425
02:14:43,920 --> 02:14:46,560
Speaker 2: You can't glean anything from that. The Lakers are locked

2426
02:14:46,560 --> 02:14:48,920
Speaker 2: into the third scene. But the Lakers like the thunder

2427
02:14:48,960 --> 02:14:52,560
Speaker 2: and Rockets ahead of them. They're the ones waiting for

2428
02:14:52,640 --> 02:14:57,160
Speaker 2: the chaos to reveal itself on Sunday. In the rest

2429
02:14:57,160 --> 02:14:59,680
Speaker 2: of the West bracket. So here's what is left to

2430
02:14:59,680 --> 02:15:06,920
Speaker 2: be Currently, Denver is the four seed. Denver controls their destiny.

2431
02:15:07,720 --> 02:15:13,400
Speaker 2: The Denver Nuggets play the Rockets the number two seed,

2432
02:15:13,960 --> 02:15:16,400
Speaker 2: they'll end up with the securing home ward advantage in

2433
02:15:16,440 --> 02:15:18,000
Speaker 2: the first round. I don't even know if the Rockets

2434
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:19,400
Speaker 2: are going to play their starters. They got nothing to

2435
02:15:19,400 --> 02:15:22,480
Speaker 2: play for. I look for Denver to remain in the

2436
02:15:22,520 --> 02:15:25,600
Speaker 2: number four slot. Then you got the Clippers, who currently

2437
02:15:26,120 --> 02:15:30,080
Speaker 2: are the number five. Now it's been a similar kind

2438
02:15:30,080 --> 02:15:33,040
Speaker 2: of a story for the Clippers. They want in Sacramento

2439
02:15:33,120 --> 02:15:36,120
Speaker 2: on Friday night to put themselves the verge are locking

2440
02:15:36,120 --> 02:15:39,840
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But however, they don't have the same

2441
02:15:39,920 --> 02:15:44,280
Speaker 2: luxury as Denver. They have a tougher test ahead. They

2442
02:15:44,320 --> 02:15:47,040
Speaker 2: have to Well, this isn't about ten hours. Ten and

2443
02:15:47,040 --> 02:15:51,160
Speaker 2: a half hours. The Clippers visit Golden State as a

2444
02:15:51,200 --> 02:15:54,240
Speaker 2: four and a half point underdog and they play against

2445
02:15:54,240 --> 02:15:56,880
Speaker 2: the Warriors. You want this game very badly, so the Clippers.

2446
02:15:57,120 --> 02:15:59,160
Speaker 2: If they were to win and Denver were to lose,

2447
02:15:59,520 --> 02:16:01,800
Speaker 2: means the Clippers would be the four seed. But if

2448
02:16:01,800 --> 02:16:04,040
Speaker 2: the Clippers win and never wins, that means the Clippers

2449
02:16:04,040 --> 02:16:05,760
Speaker 2: would face the Nuggets. It's the fifth seed in the

2450
02:16:05,760 --> 02:16:10,000
Speaker 2: first round. But if the Clippers lose to Golden State

2451
02:16:11,040 --> 02:16:14,120
Speaker 2: later today, they're going to be in the playing round.

2452
02:16:14,360 --> 02:16:18,400
Speaker 2: How about the Minnesota Timberwolves, currently the number six seed. Again,

2453
02:16:18,440 --> 02:16:23,400
Speaker 2: that's before the final game is played. Now, the Timberwolves

2454
02:16:23,440 --> 02:16:25,920
Speaker 2: would have been in position for home court advantage had

2455
02:16:25,920 --> 02:16:29,760
Speaker 2: they not blown a twenty four point lead to the

2456
02:16:29,760 --> 02:16:34,600
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks earlier this past week. Still, well, Minnesota should

2457
02:16:34,640 --> 02:16:38,160
Speaker 2: beat the Utah Jazz Sunday, they'll be guaranteed a top

2458
02:16:38,200 --> 02:16:41,119
Speaker 2: six spot in the West, and thanks to their season

2459
02:16:41,120 --> 02:16:44,680
Speaker 2: sweeps over the Nuggets and Clippers. Go figure, Minnesota could

2460
02:16:44,720 --> 02:16:47,640
Speaker 2: actually grab the four seed if both of those teams

2461
02:16:47,640 --> 02:16:50,160
Speaker 2: in front of them lose on Sunday. Now here's where

2462
02:16:50,200 --> 02:16:54,560
Speaker 2: things get really complicated, because this slate of games is

2463
02:16:54,560 --> 02:16:58,800
Speaker 2: going to decide who is in the playoffs and who's

2464
02:16:58,800 --> 02:17:01,840
Speaker 2: in the play in We start with the Golden State Warriors,

2465
02:17:01,879 --> 02:17:08,560
Speaker 2: who right now are the number seven seed. But the Warriors, again,

2466
02:17:09,600 --> 02:17:12,240
Speaker 2: they have only themselves to blame. They gave up a

2467
02:17:12,320 --> 02:17:15,160
Speaker 2: game winning three pointer to their former stud player Harrison

2468
02:17:15,200 --> 02:17:18,800
Speaker 2: Bards against San Antonio this past Wednesday night, and then

2469
02:17:18,840 --> 02:17:21,200
Speaker 2: Golden State followed that up with a win against Portland

2470
02:17:21,240 --> 02:17:24,680
Speaker 2: on Friday. So now they enter today's game against the

2471
02:17:24,720 --> 02:17:28,240
Speaker 2: Clippers needing to win to guarantee a top six spot

2472
02:17:28,280 --> 02:17:32,119
Speaker 2: in the West. So if the Warriors and Wolves both win, well,

2473
02:17:32,120 --> 02:17:34,520
Speaker 2: believe it or not, the Wolves would finish fifth, but

2474
02:17:34,560 --> 02:17:37,800
Speaker 2: the Warriors would be guaranteed their sixth They would be

2475
02:17:37,840 --> 02:17:42,480
Speaker 2: guaranteed a playoff spot as a sixth seed, and the

2476
02:17:42,480 --> 02:17:44,640
Speaker 2: Clippers would be seven by virtue of their head to

2477
02:17:44,640 --> 02:17:46,959
Speaker 2: head record. Between the two teams that is what I'm

2478
02:17:47,040 --> 02:17:51,600
Speaker 2: rooting for, because I would love to see a first

2479
02:17:51,680 --> 02:17:57,080
Speaker 2: round matchup a slugfest between the Lakers and Warriors, and

2480
02:17:57,080 --> 02:17:58,959
Speaker 2: the Lakers would have home court advantage. But as you've

2481
02:17:58,959 --> 02:18:02,600
Speaker 2: heard Mark Modena very eloquently say on my show many times,

2482
02:18:02,600 --> 02:18:05,360
Speaker 2: he believes he would give the Warriors the advantage in

2483
02:18:05,440 --> 02:18:08,840
Speaker 2: that matchup due to their superior defense. And I agree

2484
02:18:08,840 --> 02:18:12,960
Speaker 2: with Mark. I agree. Now, Golden State, by virtue of

2485
02:18:13,000 --> 02:18:15,440
Speaker 2: their head to head tie break over Memphis, well, they

2486
02:18:15,480 --> 02:18:20,039
Speaker 2: can't finish lower than seventh, So at the worst case scenario,

2487
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:23,560
Speaker 2: Golden State will at least secure a chance to host

2488
02:18:23,600 --> 02:18:26,920
Speaker 2: a playing game. One playing game. That's the worst that

2489
02:18:26,920 --> 02:18:29,600
Speaker 2: can happen to Golden State. They're seventh right now, but

2490
02:18:29,640 --> 02:18:32,360
Speaker 2: they beat the Clippers, they're the sixth seed, and the

2491
02:18:32,400 --> 02:18:35,920
Speaker 2: Clippers will have to watch and see what happens in

2492
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:39,480
Speaker 2: the Golden State or checked at the Denver game, because

2493
02:18:39,480 --> 02:18:43,000
Speaker 2: they could actually move to fifth even though they lose. Actually, well,

2494
02:18:43,200 --> 02:18:45,280
Speaker 2: they would move to fifth, y'or fifth now, they'd stay

2495
02:18:45,320 --> 02:18:51,240
Speaker 2: right where they're at. We drop to the aforementioned Memphis Grizzlies. Now,

2496
02:18:51,280 --> 02:18:54,640
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies had a real chance to create an even

2497
02:18:54,680 --> 02:18:58,080
Speaker 2: bigger chaos mess if they would have beaten the Nuggets

2498
02:18:58,080 --> 02:19:02,560
Speaker 2: on Friday night. However, losing to the Nuggets Friday night, Memphis,

2499
02:19:02,640 --> 02:19:06,520
Speaker 2: who hosts Dallas later today, is gonna need some help

2500
02:19:06,520 --> 02:19:09,680
Speaker 2: to get out of the eighth spot. Memphis is in

2501
02:19:09,720 --> 02:19:13,320
Speaker 2: the playing it just they cannot make the playoffs, but

2502
02:19:13,760 --> 02:19:16,119
Speaker 2: they're gonna be in the plan, and they are locked

2503
02:19:16,160 --> 02:19:19,720
Speaker 2: into the plan regardless. But at least Memphis could move

2504
02:19:19,720 --> 02:19:22,920
Speaker 2: into seventh and get a home game if Minnesota loses

2505
02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:26,520
Speaker 2: to the Jazz. I don't think that's gonna happen. There's

2506
02:19:26,560 --> 02:19:28,800
Speaker 2: a reason that Jazz only win seventeen games this year,

2507
02:19:28,840 --> 02:19:30,760
Speaker 2: and I think they're gonna end up on seventeen games

2508
02:19:31,280 --> 02:19:34,680
Speaker 2: and they've got their site set on Cooper Flag. I

2509
02:19:34,720 --> 02:19:38,040
Speaker 2: believe That's what I believe now Memphis, so it looks

2510
02:19:38,120 --> 02:19:42,480
Speaker 2: like we'd either travel to Golden State or hosts Minnesota,

2511
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:45,280
Speaker 2: as the Wolves have finished eighth in a potential three

2512
02:19:45,320 --> 02:19:47,879
Speaker 2: way tie. I don't think it's gonna happen that way.

2513
02:19:48,120 --> 02:19:54,520
Speaker 2: I think Memphis will beat Utah Sunday. Then you got

2514
02:19:54,680 --> 02:19:58,440
Speaker 2: the number nine Sacramento Kings and the number ten Dallas Mavericks.

2515
02:19:59,440 --> 02:20:01,680
Speaker 2: This is a per simple equation for the final two

2516
02:20:01,760 --> 02:20:05,080
Speaker 2: postseason spots, and yes, I do very much consider the

2517
02:20:05,120 --> 02:20:09,840
Speaker 2: play in the postseason. It's a playoff. The Kings and

2518
02:20:09,879 --> 02:20:15,199
Speaker 2: Mavericks enter today tied in the standings after the Kings

2519
02:20:15,879 --> 02:20:18,279
Speaker 2: lost to the Clippers and the Mavericks beat the Toronto

2520
02:20:18,360 --> 02:20:23,000
Speaker 2: Raptors on Friday night. Sacramento, however, does in fact control

2521
02:20:23,040 --> 02:20:26,600
Speaker 2: their own destiny because they swept the Mavericks in the

2522
02:20:26,640 --> 02:20:30,560
Speaker 2: regular season. Well, Sacramento needs a win over Phoenix or

2523
02:20:30,680 --> 02:20:34,280
Speaker 2: Dallas loss to secure a home game for the nine

2524
02:20:34,320 --> 02:20:38,879
Speaker 2: to ten play in matchup all right now against again

2525
02:20:39,160 --> 02:20:42,040
Speaker 2: the lottery's coming up. I mentioned Utah, Utah and the

2526
02:20:42,080 --> 02:20:45,720
Speaker 2: Wizards are won two, and after Utah and Washington both

2527
02:20:45,760 --> 02:20:48,880
Speaker 2: lost Friday, they enter Sunday's action both tied for the

2528
02:20:48,959 --> 02:20:53,080
Speaker 2: league's worst record at seventeen and sixty four. Utah plays Minnesota.

2529
02:20:53,120 --> 02:20:56,520
Speaker 2: I already told you I fell about that Washington plays

2530
02:20:56,520 --> 02:21:00,920
Speaker 2: in Miami. I just get the feeling Miami wins that game,

2531
02:21:00,959 --> 02:21:04,160
Speaker 2: and right now Miami's in the tenth and final playing spot.

2532
02:21:05,440 --> 02:21:08,359
Speaker 2: Utah will play in Minnesota while Washington plays in Miami.

2533
02:21:09,120 --> 02:21:11,360
Speaker 2: If somehow they both finish up tied at seventeen and

2534
02:21:11,400 --> 02:21:15,240
Speaker 2: sixty four. A coin flip will determine which team will

2535
02:21:15,320 --> 02:21:17,560
Speaker 2: have the slot and the higher pick if Nita moves

2536
02:21:17,640 --> 02:21:19,120
Speaker 2: up in the draft. The top three teams in the

2537
02:21:19,160 --> 02:21:21,920
Speaker 2: lottery all have the same odds, so that won't change

2538
02:21:22,480 --> 02:21:24,760
Speaker 2: either way. So there you have it. A lot of

2539
02:21:24,840 --> 02:21:28,240
Speaker 2: questions are going to be answered on Sunday, and again

2540
02:21:28,320 --> 02:21:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm rooting, Yeah, I'm rooting for Golden State to win.

2541
02:21:32,120 --> 02:21:34,480
Speaker 2: They have a couple of possible outcomes. But if they win,

2542
02:21:34,520 --> 02:21:37,840
Speaker 2: they get that sixth seed and they would face off

2543
02:21:38,400 --> 02:21:42,560
Speaker 2: against Lebron and Luca and the Lakers. Can you imagine

2544
02:21:43,480 --> 02:21:47,240
Speaker 2: the Keith nashing in Los Angeles if Lebron and Luca

2545
02:21:47,320 --> 02:21:50,240
Speaker 2: go home after round one. On the other hand, I

2546
02:21:50,240 --> 02:21:52,200
Speaker 2: don't think they'd be real happy in Golden State either

2547
02:21:52,240 --> 02:21:54,959
Speaker 2: if they went home after round one, especially after Draymond

2548
02:21:55,000 --> 02:21:58,440
Speaker 2: said he believed they were a championship caliber team any

2549
02:21:58,520 --> 02:22:01,160
Speaker 2: minute we shall. That's why they got to play the

2550
02:22:01,200 --> 02:22:03,880
Speaker 2: games on the floor. Another game they play. It's not

2551
02:22:03,920 --> 02:22:06,680
Speaker 2: on the floor, it's on the pitch. And although it's

2552
02:22:07,120 --> 02:22:11,760
Speaker 2: pronounced football is spelled fut v o l it's the

2553
02:22:11,879 --> 02:22:16,560
Speaker 2: soccer styfle football. It's time for Chris Purfetts World of Soccer.

2554
02:22:18,280 --> 02:22:34,320
Speaker 5: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama. It's

2555
02:22:34,360 --> 02:22:37,560
Speaker 5: all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

2556
02:22:37,920 --> 02:22:40,199
Speaker 23: Well, Bernie, has been a very busy week for one.

2557
02:22:40,360 --> 02:22:43,920
Speaker 23: Leonel Messi back on Sunday with an equalizing goal on

2558
02:22:43,959 --> 02:22:47,120
Speaker 23: a one to one draw against Toronto FC. He surpassed

2559
02:22:47,360 --> 02:22:51,240
Speaker 23: Gonzalo Iguayne for the most goals in club history for

2560
02:22:51,400 --> 02:22:55,080
Speaker 23: Inter Miami. Then we jump ahead to Wednesday, where a

2561
02:22:55,360 --> 02:22:58,959
Speaker 23: two bowl game from the Gray Man put Into Miami

2562
02:22:59,080 --> 02:23:03,199
Speaker 23: three to one over LAFC three to two on aggregate

2563
02:23:03,240 --> 02:23:05,840
Speaker 23: to move to the next leg to the semi finals

2564
02:23:06,160 --> 02:23:09,840
Speaker 23: of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Miami is sitting second in

2565
02:23:09,879 --> 02:23:13,840
Speaker 23: the Eastern Conference right now in the early season for MLS,

2566
02:23:14,360 --> 02:23:17,800
Speaker 23: it takes on the Chicago Fire is in Chicago at

2567
02:23:17,879 --> 02:23:21,959
Speaker 23: four thirty pm Eastern Time on Sunday. MLS Season pass

2568
02:23:22,000 --> 02:23:25,400
Speaker 23: to watch that one, and it could be even more fireworks.

2569
02:23:25,600 --> 02:23:28,320
Speaker 23: But we haven't even stopped with all the important news

2570
02:23:28,320 --> 02:23:31,560
Speaker 23: about Leonel Messi. It does seem that, as reported by

2571
02:23:31,600 --> 02:23:36,200
Speaker 23: David Ornstein on Friday, that Messi inter Miami are close

2572
02:23:36,280 --> 02:23:40,480
Speaker 23: to an agreement over a contract extension. His deal expires

2573
02:23:40,520 --> 02:23:43,119
Speaker 23: the end of twenty twenty five, but there are talks

2574
02:23:43,160 --> 02:23:46,520
Speaker 23: for long that career for the thirty seven year old,

2575
02:23:46,840 --> 02:23:48,680
Speaker 23: and it would be a huge boost once again for

2576
02:23:48,760 --> 02:23:51,600
Speaker 23: inter Miami, not to mention MLS that has put a

2577
02:23:51,640 --> 02:23:56,480
Speaker 23: lot behind the Messi strategy for themselves and their popularity.

2578
02:23:56,879 --> 02:24:00,000
Speaker 23: They really need something like inter Miami I and MLA

2579
02:24:00,320 --> 02:24:04,440
Speaker 23: Cup hopefully here very soon, especially after what just happened

2580
02:24:04,440 --> 02:24:08,760
Speaker 23: with the ratings this past years where they slumped tremendously

2581
02:24:08,800 --> 02:24:12,080
Speaker 23: in a way that I have not really anticipated from

2582
02:24:12,160 --> 02:24:16,000
Speaker 23: MLS Cup ratings in the past. But a messy MLS

2583
02:24:16,040 --> 02:24:19,440
Speaker 23: Cup would be fantastic. Inter Miami needs to put it together.

2584
02:24:19,600 --> 02:24:24,080
Speaker 23: Leonel Messi has been fantastic and needs more pieces around him.

2585
02:24:24,400 --> 02:24:29,360
Speaker 23: He has been exceeding all metrics so far expected goals

2586
02:24:29,360 --> 02:24:32,360
Speaker 23: and assists per ninety minutes. Leonel Messi is ahead of

2587
02:24:32,400 --> 02:24:36,160
Speaker 23: the pack out of everyone, way up above like zero

2588
02:24:36,160 --> 02:24:40,800
Speaker 23: point six unexpected goals, way above point four unexpected assists

2589
02:24:40,800 --> 02:24:43,600
Speaker 23: per ninety No one else in the MLS is close

2590
02:24:43,640 --> 02:24:46,720
Speaker 23: to him in both of those. Now you have no

2591
02:24:46,800 --> 02:24:48,720
Speaker 23: idea what a new Messi contract would look like, and

2592
02:24:48,760 --> 02:24:50,680
Speaker 23: we know that inter Miami wants to have him along

2593
02:24:50,720 --> 02:24:54,720
Speaker 23: for the club, for shareholders' support and everything else once

2594
02:24:54,760 --> 02:24:58,200
Speaker 23: he does retire. MLS, however, is also looking towards its

2595
02:24:58,240 --> 02:25:00,880
Speaker 23: own future. MLS announced that this week that it will

2596
02:25:00,879 --> 02:25:04,280
Speaker 23: explore a switch, possibly in its schedule, which would take

2597
02:25:04,280 --> 02:25:07,880
Speaker 23: the league from beginning in the spring and ending in

2598
02:25:08,080 --> 02:25:11,840
Speaker 23: the tail end of autumn two more in line with

2599
02:25:11,879 --> 02:25:16,440
Speaker 23: the European leagues which start in late summer and end

2600
02:25:16,879 --> 02:25:19,360
Speaker 23: about you know, in a few weeks from now. The

2601
02:25:19,400 --> 02:25:22,279
Speaker 23: main reason to do this would put MLS in line

2602
02:25:22,400 --> 02:25:26,320
Speaker 23: with the European transfer market, which allow them access both

2603
02:25:26,360 --> 02:25:29,120
Speaker 23: to more talent from Europe, but also for clubs to

2604
02:25:29,120 --> 02:25:32,680
Speaker 23: really reap the rewards of high priced transfer fees to

2605
02:25:33,120 --> 02:25:35,920
Speaker 23: Europe for any players they might end up selling down

2606
02:25:35,959 --> 02:25:39,959
Speaker 23: the line. However, that move still ways out. They did

2607
02:25:40,000 --> 02:25:44,120
Speaker 23: say that they are looking to do it probably around

2608
02:25:44,240 --> 02:25:47,959
Speaker 23: twenty twenty seven, but not before that mark, so we

2609
02:25:48,000 --> 02:25:51,199
Speaker 23: are still at least two years away from such a move.

2610
02:25:51,440 --> 02:25:53,920
Speaker 23: The problem, of course, in that is means that MLS

2611
02:25:53,920 --> 02:25:55,880
Speaker 23: would have to play through now there are a couple

2612
02:25:55,920 --> 02:25:58,480
Speaker 23: of big obstacles to such a plan, as good as

2613
02:25:58,520 --> 02:26:02,240
Speaker 23: that sounds. The first, of course, obviously, is North American winters,

2614
02:26:02,560 --> 02:26:06,160
Speaker 23: which are harsh compared to the mild winters of Europe

2615
02:26:06,520 --> 02:26:09,280
Speaker 23: and would probably cut out a lot of play in

2616
02:26:09,360 --> 02:26:12,760
Speaker 23: cold weather cities in the United States and especially for

2617
02:26:12,840 --> 02:26:18,320
Speaker 23: the clubs that exist in Canada like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

2618
02:26:18,480 --> 02:26:22,400
Speaker 23: It also starts to distance themselves from Lega MX in Mexico, who,

2619
02:26:22,879 --> 02:26:26,280
Speaker 23: like a lot of other North American leagues, try to

2620
02:26:26,320 --> 02:26:29,000
Speaker 23: play in a model where you play two to three

2621
02:26:29,160 --> 02:26:33,039
Speaker 23: short regular seasons in a calendar year with a break

2622
02:26:33,080 --> 02:26:36,440
Speaker 23: in between. This all comes as no surprise that MLS

2623
02:26:36,520 --> 02:26:39,240
Speaker 23: has seen themselves as trying to compete with Europe and

2624
02:26:39,320 --> 02:26:40,600
Speaker 23: be more like Europe.

2625
02:26:40,760 --> 02:26:41,480
Speaker 5: Will help them.

2626
02:26:41,440 --> 02:26:44,720
Speaker 23: Accomplish that goal and a cap off World of Soccer, Bernie,

2627
02:26:44,760 --> 02:26:46,960
Speaker 23: there is one match, in one match alone I will

2628
02:26:46,959 --> 02:26:51,160
Speaker 23: be watching on Sunday, and that would be Liverpool hosting

2629
02:26:51,200 --> 02:26:54,720
Speaker 23: West Ham United. Why is this important? Even though I've

2630
02:26:54,760 --> 02:26:57,440
Speaker 23: been of the opinion that the EPL race is over,

2631
02:26:57,959 --> 02:26:59,959
Speaker 23: it could very well be over with a win.

2632
02:27:00,240 --> 02:27:00,480
Speaker 2: Here.

2633
02:27:00,879 --> 02:27:04,760
Speaker 23: Arsenal stumbled to a one to one draw with Brentford

2634
02:27:04,920 --> 02:27:08,480
Speaker 23: on Saturday, which means that if Liverpool picks up a

2635
02:27:08,560 --> 02:27:12,200
Speaker 23: three points in a win against nine eight and fourteen

2636
02:27:12,280 --> 02:27:15,640
Speaker 23: West Ham United. They will be thirteen points clear of

2637
02:27:15,800 --> 02:27:19,119
Speaker 23: Arsenal and with about after that six matches to play,

2638
02:27:19,720 --> 02:27:22,080
Speaker 23: there's no one left to stop them. And I know

2639
02:27:22,120 --> 02:27:25,600
Speaker 23: Liverpool fans out there have been holding their breath, the supporters,

2640
02:27:25,840 --> 02:27:28,760
Speaker 23: always waiting for the worst case scenario to happen. But

2641
02:27:29,200 --> 02:27:33,080
Speaker 23: with a thirteen point lead after Sunday, nobody's catching them,

2642
02:27:33,160 --> 02:27:36,720
Speaker 23: certainly not this Arsenal club, which once again seems to

2643
02:27:36,760 --> 02:27:39,400
Speaker 23: just be really fading down the stretch and still have

2644
02:27:39,440 --> 02:27:42,000
Speaker 23: to contend with the Champions League in the midst of

2645
02:27:42,040 --> 02:27:44,119
Speaker 23: all of this. Now, I'll do it for us, Bernie,

2646
02:27:44,120 --> 02:27:47,760
Speaker 23: make sure to watch west Ham United and Liverpool because

2647
02:27:47,840 --> 02:27:50,640
Speaker 23: England could be determined on Sunday. We'll see you next

2648
02:27:50,720 --> 02:27:52,080
Speaker 23: time on the World of Soccer.

2649
02:27:54,000 --> 02:27:58,000
Speaker 2: So Chris has been doing this feature since before World

2650
02:27:58,080 --> 02:28:00,000
Speaker 2: Cup in twenty twenty two, and I gotta tell you

2651
02:28:00,920 --> 02:28:04,600
Speaker 2: just one time, I'd like to see the USA be

2652
02:28:04,800 --> 02:28:10,360
Speaker 2: worthy of a legitimate mention in something that's not in

2653
02:28:10,360 --> 02:28:15,599
Speaker 2: the pejorative. I mean, different coaches, different players, in different methodologies,

2654
02:28:16,600 --> 02:28:21,920
Speaker 2: different scouting reports, Samuel crappy result. So we shall see

2655
02:28:21,959 --> 02:28:26,320
Speaker 2: what we shall see in the World of Soccer. Coming up,

2656
02:28:26,400 --> 02:28:30,440
Speaker 2: we wrap up the show, and I'm gonna say this

2657
02:28:30,480 --> 02:28:36,000
Speaker 2: again for effect. Roy McElroy is about to play not

2658
02:28:36,080 --> 02:28:41,120
Speaker 2: even close, the most terrifying, most important, the most impactful

2659
02:28:41,200 --> 02:28:47,320
Speaker 2: round of his life. Later on today, I'll bring receipts

2660
02:28:48,000 --> 02:28:51,320
Speaker 2: coming up. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're company live from the

Speaker 2: Jets general manager Joe Douglas, college football Hall of Famer

2678
02:29:53,160 --> 02:29:55,280
Speaker 2: live right here on Fox Sports Radio, brought to you

2679
02:29:55,320 --> 02:30:00,760
Speaker 2: by Shipstation. A couple of quick matters. Gentleman named Ryan

2680
02:30:00,800 --> 02:30:02,680
Speaker 2: Miller reached out to me says he believes that Jimmy

2681
02:30:02,760 --> 02:30:06,800
Speaker 2: Valvano is the youngest coach to ever win a national championship.

2682
02:30:06,879 --> 02:30:08,640
Speaker 2: Levno did win it in eighty three. A might have

2683
02:30:08,640 --> 02:30:12,280
Speaker 2: been thirty seven and Golden's thirty nine, so it might

2684
02:30:12,320 --> 02:30:15,000
Speaker 2: be right. I don't know why it was reported anyway, that's,

2685
02:30:15,280 --> 02:30:18,120
Speaker 2: you know, fair enough. And one other quick thing we

2686
02:30:18,160 --> 02:30:23,840
Speaker 2: talked about Nico Amiliava. Apparently he's war is coming out now.

2687
02:30:23,879 --> 02:30:26,760
Speaker 2: He might have a little bit more difficult time finding

2688
02:30:26,760 --> 02:30:30,080
Speaker 2: a potential landing spot than he might have thought once

2689
02:30:30,080 --> 02:30:33,560
Speaker 2: he enters the portal. John Bryce, a football scoop reported

2690
02:30:33,600 --> 02:30:37,320
Speaker 2: Notre Dame NSC do not have any interest. Texas Tech

2691
02:30:37,480 --> 02:30:42,560
Speaker 2: has no interest. And although the speculation is UCLA because

2692
02:30:42,560 --> 02:30:46,600
Speaker 2: it's close to Nico's home and his brother Madden had

2693
02:30:46,640 --> 02:30:51,040
Speaker 2: been previously committed to the school, there's nothing concrete, you know,

2694
02:30:52,200 --> 02:30:54,960
Speaker 2: connecting that this is going to be a story next

2695
02:30:55,480 --> 02:30:58,000
Speaker 2: Saturday night on the midnight hour. We're going to dive

2696
02:30:58,000 --> 02:31:01,879
Speaker 2: into this heavier, much heavier, because the portal opens up Tuesday,

2697
02:31:02,080 --> 02:31:04,800
Speaker 2: so I want gear it up. Get your fingers ready

2698
02:31:04,800 --> 02:31:07,360
Speaker 2: to want to hear Tennessee basically called Nico's bluff. They

2699
02:31:07,400 --> 02:31:10,840
Speaker 2: let him walk, so he's taking a hell of a

2700
02:31:10,959 --> 02:31:14,000
Speaker 2: risk and he's hoping now he lands in a better

2701
02:31:14,040 --> 02:31:16,840
Speaker 2: situation than the one he decided to leave because two

2702
02:31:16,879 --> 02:31:19,440
Speaker 2: point four million wasn't good enough for him, and he

2703
02:31:19,520 --> 02:31:22,039
Speaker 2: was in the premiere conference in football, and if you

2704
02:31:22,120 --> 02:31:25,800
Speaker 2: enter the Spring Portal, you can't stay in the same conference.

2705
02:31:25,800 --> 02:31:27,520
Speaker 2: So this is the story we're going to continue to watch.

2706
02:31:28,200 --> 02:31:30,520
Speaker 2: I'm not passing judgment. We're going to see where this

2707
02:31:30,600 --> 02:31:33,959
Speaker 2: ends up. Maybe Nico gets the last laugh, but for now,

2708
02:31:34,520 --> 02:31:40,519
Speaker 2: the sides are decidedly lining up with Tennessee. So we'll see.

2709
02:31:41,440 --> 02:31:45,640
Speaker 2: Before I get into Rory McElroy on Sunday, which is today,

2710
02:31:45,680 --> 02:31:48,119
Speaker 2: which is less than twelve hours away, he'll be teeing off.

2711
02:31:48,879 --> 02:31:54,199
Speaker 2: He's attempting to make history. He will be his first masters.

2712
02:31:54,640 --> 02:31:59,879
Speaker 2: But should Rory win Sunday and beat not just Bryson

2713
02:32:00,040 --> 02:32:03,360
Speaker 2: Shambo with the other guys, behind him. He's going to

2714
02:32:03,440 --> 02:32:07,040
Speaker 2: join Rarefied Air okay Abe the sixth golfer in PGA

2715
02:32:07,160 --> 02:32:09,080
Speaker 2: history to have a career Grand Slam. You know, he's

2716
02:32:09,120 --> 02:32:12,879
Speaker 2: won all four majors. Gene Sarah's and Ben Hogan, Gary Player,

2717
02:32:12,959 --> 02:32:18,040
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholson, Jack Nicholson, Jack Nick Liss and Tiger Woods

2718
02:32:18,080 --> 02:32:20,800
Speaker 2: all did it. So if Rory wins, he'll be the

2719
02:32:20,840 --> 02:32:23,600
Speaker 2: sixth golfer to win all four majors. It'd be his

2720
02:32:23,680 --> 02:32:26,879
Speaker 2: fifth major time for the twelfth most, but he'd be

2721
02:32:26,920 --> 02:32:29,680
Speaker 2: a career Grand Slam, his twenty ninth PGA Tour win,

2722
02:32:30,400 --> 02:32:32,039
Speaker 2: and it would put him up there with Lee Trevino

2723
02:32:32,080 --> 02:32:35,720
Speaker 2: and Jean Littler. It some pretty good company. But he

2724
02:32:35,840 --> 02:32:39,160
Speaker 2: still got to do it. Now, the sport miss is Tiger.

2725
02:32:39,200 --> 02:32:41,600
Speaker 2: I don't give a damn what anybody says. And it's

2726
02:32:41,640 --> 02:32:43,640
Speaker 2: really a shame because I think this is it for Tiger.

2727
02:32:43,680 --> 02:32:46,080
Speaker 2: It maybe has been it, but this is really it.

2728
02:32:46,680 --> 02:32:49,520
Speaker 2: This latest injury feels different, all right. I realized injuries

2729
02:32:49,560 --> 02:32:52,200
Speaker 2: had been a constant in Tiger Woods's career ever since

2730
02:32:52,200 --> 02:32:55,120
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, when he basically was a superman

2731
02:32:55,240 --> 02:32:57,039
Speaker 2: through a left knee injury to win an all time

2732
02:32:57,200 --> 02:32:59,720
Speaker 2: US Open at Torrey Pines. He's had a lot of

2733
02:32:59,720 --> 02:33:03,840
Speaker 2: SIP injuries, Okay, constant back yellments. He's got a disfigured

2734
02:33:03,920 --> 02:33:06,720
Speaker 2: right leg after that twenty twenty one car crash. So

2735
02:33:06,879 --> 02:33:10,680
Speaker 2: Tiger is Alwaukee mash Unit. He had surgery a few

2736
02:33:10,720 --> 02:33:14,640
Speaker 2: tuesdays back to rupture repair his ruptured left achilles tendon.

2737
02:33:15,520 --> 02:33:18,400
Speaker 2: And Tiger is Tiger, but he ain't Superman anymore. His body,

2738
02:33:18,560 --> 02:33:20,680
Speaker 2: the human body, can only do so much. And Tiger

2739
02:33:21,120 --> 02:33:23,520
Speaker 2: turns fifty in a few months, and it's a bad fifty,

2740
02:33:24,360 --> 02:33:26,800
Speaker 2: which leads me to Rory. If Tiger were playing Sunday

2741
02:33:26,920 --> 02:33:30,080
Speaker 2: and he had this lead, you figure it's a FATA complete.

2742
02:33:30,200 --> 02:33:34,720
Speaker 2: But see, here's the deal. Even entering this year's Masters,

2743
02:33:35,160 --> 02:33:38,680
Speaker 2: the stakes for Rory were high, very high. Now they're

2744
02:33:38,720 --> 02:33:41,680
Speaker 2: always high in any major, but they're always higher at

2745
02:33:41,720 --> 02:33:43,680
Speaker 2: the Master, and they're going to be higher for Rory

2746
02:33:43,720 --> 02:33:46,560
Speaker 2: at the Master. And now that Rory has done what

2747
02:33:46,640 --> 02:33:48,800
Speaker 2: he's done with back to back sixty six is and

2748
02:33:48,840 --> 02:33:51,840
Speaker 2: he has the lead by two strokes, he's this close

2749
02:33:52,840 --> 02:33:58,119
Speaker 2: to winning the Masters. And if you're even an average

2750
02:33:58,360 --> 02:34:01,760
Speaker 2: sports fan, you know by now or I would say

2751
02:34:01,800 --> 02:34:06,320
Speaker 2: you would agree that Rory has the dreaded label. He's

2752
02:34:06,360 --> 02:34:09,840
Speaker 2: the greatest player of his generation to not win a

2753
02:34:09,920 --> 02:34:14,359
Speaker 2: Master's and he's not won a major in a decade.

2754
02:34:14,440 --> 02:34:17,960
Speaker 2: And listen, I had a caller call me out what

2755
02:34:18,080 --> 02:34:21,119
Speaker 2: I refused to say, Duke choke, But I said Rory

2756
02:34:21,200 --> 02:34:22,920
Speaker 2: choked at the US Open last year when he missed

2757
02:34:22,920 --> 02:34:25,640
Speaker 2: two short putts and Bryson d Schambeau beat him. We

2758
02:34:25,720 --> 02:34:28,440
Speaker 2: got a rematch. We got a rematch for some of it.

2759
02:34:28,560 --> 02:34:30,320
Speaker 2: You know, he's got to beat the whole field. Just

2760
02:34:30,600 --> 02:34:33,480
Speaker 2: Shamba is the closest. So here's Rory, a four time

2761
02:34:33,520 --> 02:34:36,400
Speaker 2: major champion, never won the Masters, hasn't won a major

2762
02:34:36,400 --> 02:34:38,640
Speaker 2: in over a decade, and the last time he got

2763
02:34:38,640 --> 02:34:40,720
Speaker 2: this close was in twenty eleven. And you know what happened.

2764
02:34:41,959 --> 02:34:46,840
Speaker 2: Brandell Chamblee, who has become a great voice for golfsid quote,

2765
02:34:46,920 --> 02:34:51,560
Speaker 2: nobody anywhere, anytime all year will face as much pressure

2766
02:34:51,600 --> 02:34:55,400
Speaker 2: as Rory does. Arriving in augusta nastional, he said that

2767
02:34:55,520 --> 02:35:00,959
Speaker 2: before the tournament. Now, before McElroy shot sixty six and

2768
02:35:01,000 --> 02:35:03,520
Speaker 2: sixty six back to back days on Friday and Saturday

2769
02:35:03,520 --> 02:35:06,039
Speaker 2: to take the lead, before he became the clear betting

2770
02:35:06,080 --> 02:35:10,560
Speaker 2: favorite before he got to Sunday with the lead, before

2771
02:35:10,560 --> 02:35:12,840
Speaker 2: he set up with promises to be the biggest showdown

2772
02:35:13,280 --> 02:35:16,920
Speaker 2: that golf can muster. Right now without somebody named Tiger Woods.

2773
02:35:18,400 --> 02:35:23,080
Speaker 2: You got two high profile players on a high profile stage,

2774
02:35:23,200 --> 02:35:25,200
Speaker 2: are going to do good out on Sunday. And again

2775
02:35:25,440 --> 02:35:29,800
Speaker 2: I'll remind you there's a backstory. There's always a backstory.

2776
02:35:30,760 --> 02:35:35,040
Speaker 2: McElroy's opponent just isn't anybody. Just ten months ago, Bryson

2777
02:35:35,080 --> 02:35:40,000
Speaker 2: De'shambo broke McElroy's heart at the US Open, and there

2778
02:35:40,080 --> 02:35:43,320
Speaker 2: was a sequence of events that began early in the

2779
02:35:43,400 --> 02:35:48,000
Speaker 2: round with two short missputts from Rory and it concluded

2780
02:35:48,760 --> 02:35:52,840
Speaker 2: with Deshambo's epic up and down for Par to clinch

2781
02:35:52,879 --> 02:35:58,600
Speaker 2: the title. Clutch. Rory has yet to show that true

2782
02:35:58,720 --> 02:36:01,240
Speaker 2: clutch gene. I'm not comparing them to Tiger. I'm not

2783
02:36:01,280 --> 02:36:05,920
Speaker 2: comparing anybody to Tire other than Jack. And here's Rory's chance.

2784
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:07,880
Speaker 2: This is gonna be a referendum, and it's going to

2785
02:36:07,920 --> 02:36:11,920
Speaker 2: be feast or famine now. On Saturday. When Rory hit

2786
02:36:12,000 --> 02:36:17,119
Speaker 2: that eagle putt at fifteen, Shambeau Deshambaud was five shots

2787
02:36:17,160 --> 02:36:21,039
Speaker 2: back five but then he burdied fifteen, Dishambau did, and

2788
02:36:21,040 --> 02:36:24,480
Speaker 2: then when he burdied sixteen, he turned and looked at

2789
02:36:24,480 --> 02:36:27,920
Speaker 2: the crowd, and the gallery went berserk, and he kind

2790
02:36:27,920 --> 02:36:29,800
Speaker 2: of gritted his teeth and made like that old game

2791
02:36:29,840 --> 02:36:31,840
Speaker 2: face that Bobby Knight used to make fun of, and

2792
02:36:31,920 --> 02:36:35,199
Speaker 2: he tapped his putter on the green. He was physically

2793
02:36:35,240 --> 02:36:38,760
Speaker 2: sending a message, you ain't getting rid of me this quick.

2794
02:36:39,400 --> 02:36:41,920
Speaker 2: I'm not going to back down. I'm gonna be right here,

2795
02:36:42,600 --> 02:36:44,800
Speaker 2: you old satchel page. Don't look back. Someone might be

2796
02:36:44,840 --> 02:36:47,760
Speaker 2: gaining on you. Well, I think he is okay. Then

2797
02:36:48,520 --> 02:36:52,440
Speaker 2: he holed out a birdie putt off the green at eighteen. Now,

2798
02:36:52,959 --> 02:36:55,760
Speaker 2: just like that, he went from five shots back de

2799
02:36:55,920 --> 02:37:00,879
Speaker 2: Chambeau did to two shots back. Yes, he's in Rory's face.

2800
02:37:01,920 --> 02:37:06,119
Speaker 2: I am not implying that Rory is scared of the moment. However,

2801
02:37:07,240 --> 02:37:09,800
Speaker 2: this is from the perspective of a guy who has

2802
02:37:09,879 --> 02:37:13,160
Speaker 2: watched Rory in these key, high leverage moments when he

2803
02:37:13,240 --> 02:37:17,520
Speaker 2: gets hot and it's hard to breathe struggle, even though

2804
02:37:17,560 --> 02:37:19,760
Speaker 2: he's got quite a resume and has a real chance

2805
02:37:20,160 --> 02:37:24,000
Speaker 2: to make history. Now, after Saturday's round, Rory was asked

2806
02:37:24,000 --> 02:37:26,080
Speaker 2: how we'd spend his Saturday night in twenty eleven, when

2807
02:37:26,120 --> 02:37:28,840
Speaker 2: he the last time he held the Master lead heading

2808
02:37:28,879 --> 02:37:30,680
Speaker 2: into Sunday, he goes, I was fifteen years I got

2809
02:37:30,720 --> 02:37:33,080
Speaker 2: have no idea. I'm glad I have a short memory

2810
02:37:33,280 --> 02:37:36,160
Speaker 2: because that Sunday was not good. But you come on,

2811
02:37:36,200 --> 02:37:38,800
Speaker 2: he's got to be thinking about it. This is a

2812
02:37:38,800 --> 02:37:42,800
Speaker 2: guy who's spent with time with performance coach Bob Rotella,

2813
02:37:42,920 --> 02:37:46,240
Speaker 2: working on his mindset and these little cliches in his mind,

2814
02:37:46,280 --> 02:37:49,640
Speaker 2: a little aphorisms. All right, it's not just the fact

2815
02:37:49,720 --> 02:37:53,000
Speaker 2: that Rory would win the Masters for the first time,

2816
02:37:53,440 --> 02:37:55,920
Speaker 2: not just the fact that he would win the career

2817
02:37:55,959 --> 02:37:59,000
Speaker 2: Grand Slam. No longer have the label of the best

2818
02:37:59,040 --> 02:38:02,120
Speaker 2: golfer in his gym generation that never won the Masters.

2819
02:38:03,160 --> 02:38:06,560
Speaker 2: But look, he'd be the only guy in this generation,

2820
02:38:06,640 --> 02:38:08,960
Speaker 2: along with Tiger Woods, that has the career Grand Slam.

2821
02:38:09,280 --> 02:38:11,840
Speaker 2: It would give Rory five majors. That would also match

2822
02:38:11,879 --> 02:38:14,840
Speaker 2: Brooks Kopka for the most among his peers. And again,

2823
02:38:14,959 --> 02:38:17,520
Speaker 2: it would erase all the ghosts of the past decade.

2824
02:38:18,680 --> 02:38:21,320
Speaker 2: Forget all the high finishes. Those are reframed a failures.

2825
02:38:21,640 --> 02:38:24,000
Speaker 2: Now they're going to be reframed as high finishes. That's

2826
02:38:24,040 --> 02:38:26,520
Speaker 2: what happens when you win a Masters. It has a

2827
02:38:26,520 --> 02:38:31,279
Speaker 2: forced multiplier effect. Rory McElroy has had plenty of PGA

2828
02:38:31,360 --> 02:38:35,160
Speaker 2: Tour wins, and he's got FedEx titles and all kinds

2829
02:38:35,160 --> 02:38:39,280
Speaker 2: of stuff, but winning cures all ills. Rory's gonna have

2830
02:38:39,280 --> 02:38:42,080
Speaker 2: to win on Sunday. Can he do it? Yes he can,

2831
02:38:42,720 --> 02:38:45,800
Speaker 2: but he still gotta do it. Jack Nicholas once said,

2832
02:38:45,800 --> 02:38:48,480
Speaker 2: Tiger's gonna break all my records, but he still got

2833
02:38:48,480 --> 02:38:50,320
Speaker 2: to do it. And you saw what happened and he

2834
02:38:50,360 --> 02:38:52,280
Speaker 2: didn't do it. It's gonna do it for the Bernie

2835
02:38:52,280 --> 02:38:54,480
Speaker 2: Frattle Show. See you next Saturday night at eleven. Keep

2836
02:38:54,520 --> 02:38:56,840
Speaker 2: it locked up next to the Great Andy Furman.
