00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: First of all, Happy Memorial Day weekend to everybody. Remember

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: we are the land of the Free because of the brave,

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: and I know that all too well, having traveled abroad.

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: The last ten days.

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: You know, in my life, I've been all over the

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: United States everywhere. Give me a city, I'll tell you

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: what a restaurant to go to. Wordigo probably got a

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: connection for you. Been to Canada many times, Toronto, et cetera,

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: et cetera, Mexico, Hawaii three times. There's about ten other

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: countries I really wanted to see. And he's last couple

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: of weeks. I started out with two of them that

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: were tops on my list. London in Paris. I don't know,

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: those aren't countries, those are cities, but they're part of

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: two countries. And I got to tell you. So, you know,

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: I booked a little excursion through this organization called Gate One.

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: They're outstanding. Our director was a guy by the name

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: of Craig Sunny. He was outstanding with all kinds of

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: free times. Not like we were some part of a

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: group deal like one flew of the Cuckoos nuts when

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: they went fishing, nothing like that. So I got a

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: lot of free time to explore things on our own.

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to give you a European tour here.

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: Just give you a couple of highlights because we've got

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: to get to, you know, the NBA Playoffs, which are

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: becoming whole home. May twenty third is officially going to come,

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, go down as a date in college sports history.

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: College sports will ever be the same. I'm not saying

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: it's for the worst, but I've got a lot to

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: talk about there. We've got Darren McKee from Denver coming

37
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: up at about fifteen minutes, Mark Medina, Midnight Magic.

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: And at one am.

39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: I won't have a unique perspective on Caitlyn Clark that

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: you're not hearing anywhere else. I'm not going to defend her.

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm not going to make a case. You've already made

42
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: up your mind. You know who you are.

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: I don't care.

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: Some of the most boring conversations in this country are

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: when everybody agrees but you know you've made it, but

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: in the all time leading score and people it just

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: can't wait to tear you down. It's actually becoming laughable.

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: But I'll have a perspective on her. She's in good company.

49
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: And when you see the case I make at one M,

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: you will you will see exactly what I'm talking about. Look,

51
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: you know she was in Las Vegas tonight. They lost,

52
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: as you know, they meaning the Indian Fever. And of

53
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: course the taverage tick was one hundred and ninety seven

54
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: dollars a piece. If you wanted to go tonight, why

55
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: did that cost so much? Why why is that? Well

56
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: we're going to get to that, but I guess the

57
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: bottom line is you've made your mind up. So I'm

58
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: not going to try to convince you. I don't really care.

59
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: This is America.

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: You know you want to.

61
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: Go golfing, you like the puff from the rough. It's

62
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: up to you man. You pay your you pay your

63
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: money's or takes your chances. But she's in very good company.

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: And don't try to figure out where I'm going with

65
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: that one anim I will fill in the blanks just

66
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: a couple of quick things. You cannot stand next to

67
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: the Eiffel Tower and not be blown away. How in

68
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: the hell with that thing built in eighteen eighty nine,

69
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, it was built in twenty two months. Gustaf

70
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: Fiffel was a genius. Sealed by the way help design

71
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: on the Statue of Liberty.

72
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: You may hear of that.

73
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: And it was only supposed to be there for two years.

74
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: It was built to it was on the one hundred year

75
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: anniversary the French Revolution, and it was only supposed to

76
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: be there two years as an entry point for the

77
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: World's Fair in Paris in eighteen eighty nine. But obviously

78
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: it's still there, what one hundred and thirty five years later,

79
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: and for very good reason. Thing was packed out. You know,

80
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: they painted every seven years. It takes sixty tons of

81
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: paint to paint it. They just got them painting it,

82
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, coming up for the Olympics. And by the way,

83
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: a lot of some of Paris was fenced off. That's

84
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: the story for a different day. I then had it

85
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: over and of course I saw the Arcta triumph, walked

86
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: up and down shumps. Le' see you spend a lot

87
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: of money. It's a vibe, man, it's a vibe. The Parisians.

88
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: This is how we live, you know, uh and and

89
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: and it's all good. A couple of miss you know, misperceptions.

90
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Every French person I ran into except for maybe one,

91
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: maybe one.

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: And I ran into a lot of them, very friendly.

93
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: I decided I was going to learn about ten words

94
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: so that I, you know, look up, you know something

95
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: some for the effort, you know, I'm gonna be like

96
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Emily in Paris. I learned some words. So and every

97
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: time I walk into a restaurant, and it went to

98
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of them, madam uh de lou say to play,

99
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: I mean some water please, there's some water please, And

100
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: then they're looking at me and go, I look at

101
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: his dude, Man, he's actually trying. All of a sudden,

102
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: guess what. They're speaking English way better than I speak.

103
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: Then I tipped really good. So I found French people

104
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: to be extremely or vane, extremely friendly.

105
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: They're all trim. They walk all over hell in Paris.

106
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: They're not like us. Sorry, sorry, man, whatever the hell

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: they're doing over there. Maybe I left to start smoking

108
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: in stupid French cigarettes. Better forget all that outstanding experience there,

109
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: and then headed to London. Took the Eurostar and it's

110
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: about two hours and seventeen minutes. It goes two hundred

111
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: and twenty miles an hour to train and you're under

112
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: the English Channel for twenty eight minutes of it. You

113
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: pop up, boom, you're London. Next to you know, you're

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: in front of Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, you

115
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: name it. I went everywhere. Did I have fishing ships?

116
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: Course twice? And is it the best I've ever had

117
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: in the world. Probably, But I'll say you I had

118
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: some good fishing ships in Cape cod Onan's do And

119
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: by the way, back in the day, if you live

120
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: in California, I know you do.

121
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: You're listening on five to seventy right now.

122
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: Back in the day, there was a chain in California

123
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: called h Salt, Fish and Chips, and they were all

124
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: over and they had all kinds of image to core

125
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: and I went to an eight Salt as recent as

126
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: two years ago in Orange, California. But with all due respect,

127
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: the taste of good, but it deteriorated nothing like what

128
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: I had in London. There's like four aspects to fish

129
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: and chips. There's a fish, how fresh is it? How

130
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: meaty is it? Then there's the batter. How well is

131
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: it fried? How does the taste? How crispy? Is it

132
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: too thick? They went four for four the pubs in London.

133
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: Forget it out of this world. I also befriended a

134
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: cabby in London. His name is Raymond Challon, are a

135
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: great guy. I paid him to be my driver one

136
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: full day.

137
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: We went to.

138
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. We went to Wembley Stadium. By the way,

139
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: There'd be three NFL games played there in London this year,

140
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: one at Wembley too, at Tottenham, I got pictures at

141
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: all and then I popped over to Abbey Road because

142
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, I had to be the guy they walk

143
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: across the street. I would like to be the most

144
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: famous album cover.

145
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: I did it.

146
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: I did it and sent it to my buddy Jay

147
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: stew send it to Kurt and then some people. Yeah,

148
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: it was an amazing vibe, but this deal real quickly.

149
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: One final thing. Just riding a cab in London is

150
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: an experience.

151
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: If you have any if you have any knowledge of

152
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: how they do it over there. Just become a cab driver.

153
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: You have to study for four years. It's it's like

154
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: going to law school. You have to take a test

155
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: called the Knowledge. It's three hundred and thirty questions. Eighty

156
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: percent of the people fail it. It's incredible the professionalism.

157
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: They're so prim and proper, in pristine. The cars are

158
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: like these miniature little Bentley's, but all kinds of room.

159
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: They don't stink. My driver and not connected. He was

160
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: gonna offer me. He goes, hey, man, can you drive

161
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: an automatic? I said, yeah, He goes, I'll let you

162
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: drive my car on the block.

163
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

164
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: I don't know about all that.

165
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: They're on the wrong side of the street, the steering

166
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: wheels on the wrong side. This guy was totally cool.

167
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: So we head out to Wimbley. Then we head out

168
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: to Tottenham Hotspur and I walk in and you know,

169
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: I do some douchey things and show my idea to.

170
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: Cover the lines. Oh, come on in.

171
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: I meet Larry the stadium manager. Turns out his first

172
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: job was with the Lions in nineteen seventy five. I go,

173
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: you got to be Kidney. That was Bill Belichick's first

174
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: job ever in the NFL nineteen seventy five with the Lions.

175
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: You may not know Bill Belichick's dad, Steve Belichick, was,

176
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: I think in the Detroit Lions Hall of Fame. But

177
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Larry of course goes and I got a picture of

178
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: maybe we've got a lot because there's two big locker

179
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: rooms at the clubhouses at Tottenham Otsper Stadium. There is

180
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: the where the Tottenham Otspur soccer club plays. And went

181
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: in that unbelievably opulent there's an NFL locker room. They

182
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: built one just for that. Given me be two games

183
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: er this year. You'll see him in October. And so

184
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: Larry and I hit it off. They gave me the

185
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: full tour. I got to go down on the field,

186
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: in the press room, both locker rooms, everywhere. It couldn't

187
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: have been nicer, just fabulous. And so there you have it.

188
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: That's what I do with my summer vacation. That could

189
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: be an eighth grade turn paper. All right, let me

190
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: give you just a quick observation about the NBA playoffs Friday,

191
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: because not a whole hell of a lot to see here.

192
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: I'd like to thank the Indiana Pacers for participate in

193
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs.

194
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 2: No shame.

195
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: Listen, you run into a team that's pretty good Boston.

196
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: They act like they've won three titles. They have won

197
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: a damn thing. And I think Jalen Brown's a good player.

198
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: I think he's a good player. I do, But why

199
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: does he always walk around and look on his face

200
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: like he just mailed a bad fart? Lose that man?

201
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: You know, Magic Johnson one of my very favorite people.

202
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: I was an intern at the Forum a rookie year.

203
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: I saw all the games courtside. Magic said, I learned

204
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: two things from my parents. For my dad, I learned

205
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: how to work hard. For my mom, how to do

206
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: with a smile on my face. Jalen, you know I'm

207
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: not gonna be that guy says smile, But why why

208
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: don't you smile? So Boston's gonna handle Indiana, No shame.

209
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: Indiana put up a good fight that got past the Knicks.

210
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: Good night, Irene, It's over.

211
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: Okay.

212
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: We'll see if Boston committees the job. I'm not betting

213
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: they will. I'm fascinated with Dallas now Luka. Doncic looks unstoppable,

214
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: and I'm a huge Anthony Edwards fan. And you heard

215
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: my commentary three weeks ago about you know, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

216
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: In the plight of the great city of Minneapolis, Please Gods,

217
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: throw these guys at break. We'll see if minutes older

218
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: can steal a game in Dallas Sunday night. Hopefully they can,

219
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: but they seem to run out of gas after halftime.

220
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards just had just eight of his twenty one

221
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: points in the second half. He became sort of a

222
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: non factor offensively. I think he's fatigued. He's fatigued, and

223
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: you may say, well, how can a twenty two year

224
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: old be fatigued. He's asked to do everything. I mean,

225
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: for crying out loud, just go back and these remember

226
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: these plots have been going on for four or five weeks.

227
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: He's had to guard Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, He's

228
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: had to guard Jamal Murray and now Kyrie Irving. Just

229
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: saying those names makes me tired. I know Edwards denied

230
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: it after the game, but there was a reporter he

231
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: even received oxygen and he got subbed out of the

232
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter, and you can see he

233
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: struggled be geting to the rim, and he you know,

234
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: two for eight and you know from the paint, Dallas

235
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: might be the real deal. I hope Dallas beats Boston,

236
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: won't I supposed to have a rooting interest, I don't care.

237
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: I like this Dallas team, and I gotta tell you

238
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: I like I like Kyrie and what he's doing. Now

239
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: give the manage his I can hold two thoughts. Concurrently,

240
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: I didn't like him before when he wouldn't shut up

241
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: and he wouldn't show up to work and he was

242
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: complaining and not even calling his boss.

243
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: But this dude can play a little bit.

244
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: And you know what, you put Luca and Donchis together,

245
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: it is one hell of an offensive tandem. So I'm

246
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: mildly curious to see what will they do when they

247
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: get on the floor with Boston. And I really do

248
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: think that's where it's happening. And by the way, let's

249
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: not forget the twin towers of Daniel Gafford Derek Lively.

250
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: They've been terrific for Dallas. Friday was probably their best

251
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: performance of the year. Thirty points, fourteen rebounds, five blocks.

252
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: They recabot both ends of the floor, So Dallas says offense.

253
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: They have length, and it looks like they have desire.

254
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: When you win a game one on nine one await

255
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: the way they did, that's the stuff Championship Caliber medal

256
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: is made of.

257
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: Or we got a.

258
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: Lot to get to tonight again bottom of the hour.

259
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: Can you say seventy five billion?

260
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: I can't. I try that. I couldn't.

261
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: Two point seventy five billion and a new NCAA model.

262
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna chop that up at the bottom of the art.

263
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: But coming up a fan favorite, Dereck McKee from Denver

Speaker 1: about some some Denver nugget stuff, some NBA playoff stuff.

267
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: Sean Payton had a very interesting quote, and I'm even

268
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: I've even got a question about Deane Sanders and Charlot

Speaker 6: a backup five for your kisch, got to get better

311
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 6: shooting out of Michael Porter Junior, who's got a max

312
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 6: contract like that? It was it was. I don't think

313
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 6: it was anything different than what what everybody else was saying.

314
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 6: But you know, I think they would have beat Dallas.

315
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 6: And we're seeing what the Wolves are doing right now.

316
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 6: Thank goodness, nice job Wolves, way to choke it up.

317
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 6: But you know, but listen, the Wolves had any like

318
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 6: supporting them until I forget the even the player's name,

319
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 6: try to alley for himself at the end of the game,

320
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 6: it's like, what are you doing? And that that moment

321
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 6: right there probably showed they're really not quite ready and

322
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 6: they shouldn't have beat Denver. But you know, as a

323
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 6: tired team, they'd been through a lot. You know, that's

324
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 6: what it's like to win a CHAMPI and ship Wolves

325
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 6: get tired today you'll find out maybe not but but

326
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 6: but that's the case. So it's not a blow it

327
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 6: up situation.

328
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: But you likely are going.

329
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 6: To lose KCP. Unfortunately. We love him here, but he's

330
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 6: going to get a bag offer and likely be gone.

331
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if you're back in the NBA Finals

332
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: again next year. I think you got yourself a real

333
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: squad and it's very hard to repeat. So with the

334
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: remaining four teams in the tournament, who do you like

335
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: to emerge in? Which matchup would you like to see

336
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals?

337
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 6: Well, I grew up in the Boston area. My parents

338
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 6: still live there, so I'm a shout ahead by birth.

339
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 6: So go Celtics. Why do I give a crap about

340
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 6: the Wolves, MAVs or the Pacers. So I'll pull for

341
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 6: the Green and I think they got the best team too.

342
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 6: But you know what, you know, the MAVs are really interesting, Yes,

343
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 6: because Bernie, maybe you don't need maybe you just eat

344
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 6: to be in the top stick. Seriously, maybe you just

345
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 6: need to win fifty games and shut it down the end.

346
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 6: And they're kind of proving that right now, aren't they so?

347
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 6: And if you look at the home and road splits

348
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 6: this year, wow, weird?

349
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: Really yeah?

350
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: Well good?

351
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 6: You know the Nuggets, the Nuggets. The Nuggets went twenty

352
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 6: one and six after the All Star break. They kind

353
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 6: of killed themselves to finish and lose and a tie

354
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 6: with Oklahoma City.

355
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: But look what happened.

356
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 6: Oklahoma City and the Nuggets and all this crap about

357
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 6: like having a win. If you're any good, if you're

358
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 6: gonna win a championship, you got to hit clutch shots

359
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 6: like Luca's done, and you just got to be in

360
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 6: the playoffs. And frankly, I think you could win from

361
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 6: the playing spot too.

362
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: Really, they're sure he's good. Sure you know there's no

363
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: rule you couldn't, right, Well, the Lakers got to the

364
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: conference finals last year from the playing spot, but that's

365
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: a story for a different day. Look the Dallas thing

366
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: for me, after tanking last year, after getting Kyrie as

367
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: they say in your neck of the woods. Should Dallas

368
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: win this thing, just from a fan standpoint and an

369
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: impartial fan standpoint, he would be a wicked pissa. And

370
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, because Luca will be such an

371
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: ingracious winner. I can't wait to see what comes out

372
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: of that knucklehead's mouth.

373
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 7: Oh you don't like Luca.

374
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: I love Luca. No, no, no, no no. I want

375
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: to make sure I set the record straight. I love

376
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: the dude. I don't want to take a hot shower

377
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: with him, but I love the dude and how he

378
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: reacts after he wins or does something good is crazy

379
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: funny to me.

380
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 6: I guess you got me wondering who you would take

381
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 6: a hot shower with if you win with Luca. But uh,

382
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 6: you know we we we liked Luca here and walked

383
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 6: into that one, right but we you know, Kyrie's kind

384
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 6: of odd, but he's a great player, and you know,

385
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 6: Luca's good friends with Yo kitchen. You know we got

386
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 6: we got no beef with dal whatsoever, So go for it.

387
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 6: You know the Wolves are they're just the pinch too arrogant.

388
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 6: Who knows they could come back? You know, you never know,

389
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 6: But rough start for him, that's for sure. Celtics, you know,

390
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 6: with what they're doing without poor thing, it's pretty impressive.

391
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: Do you think very much? Very much?

392
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: So very much so, yes, but I think Dallas could

393
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 1: get I mean, look, I guess I should admit this.

394
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: I interviewed Mark Cuban once in his war room down

395
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: there and at the American Airlines Arena back I know five.

396
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: He was great to me, so I don't know. We'll see. Listen,

397
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: let's move on.

398
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: I found it interesting Sean Payton used two words, and

399
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to steal your thunder. I've seen these

400
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: things before. Were like the Vegas School of Knights where

401
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: the misfits in their first year and they get to

402
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup finals. I wonder if that's going to

403
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: have in an inverse proportion effect in firing up that

404
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: quarterback room. First, tell the people what the two words

405
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: that Sean Payton said and how it seems to have taken.

406
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 6: He called the quarterbacks orphan dogs and listen, as soon

407
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 6: as he said it, we all looked around the room,

408
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 6: are like, sorry, what's orphan dogs? I mean it's like,

409
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean, Vo Nicks is a I mean,

410
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 6: all right, he left Auburn for Oregon.

411
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 7: I get it.

412
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 6: He was the thick quarterback, taking it twelve vack liltit

413
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 6: started and started thirty four games in the NFL. Orphan Dogs,

414
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 6: I mean, Garrettson's a fourth round draft pick. I'm glad

415
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 6: they paint orphan dogs millions of dollars a year. That's

416
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 6: I bet an orphan dog, Bernie. I'll be happy to

417
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 6: be that. But see, I think this is what Sean wants.

418
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 6: I think Sean wants them to be orphan dogs because.

419
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 7: He could be their savior.

420
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: I guess I like Sean, I do, but his his

421
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 6: uh mikelomaniac side is every now and then it comes

422
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 6: out not all the time, not all the time, but

423
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 6: every now and then, and and Sean Sean. Nobody thinks

424
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 6: highly of themselves about Sean paign to Jean Pate. But

425
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 6: it's okay, it's all right. I'm fine with that, because

426
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 6: you need a coach with a certain amount of confidence.

427
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 6: Look who we've had here, Oh my God, from Fiji

428
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 6: to oh the Fanjo the trumpy old guy to hack him.

429
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 6: I mean, he's miserable, thank god. Baron Rodgers and that

430
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 6: guy would never even have a job, you know, But

431
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 6: Sean thinks highly of himself and that's why we got him,

432
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 6: and that's why it's get paid a lot. So Orphan done.

433
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 6: All right? Well cool, you know it was a weird

434
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 6: We seriously didn't know what the hell he was talking about.

435
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 6: But I mean, I I yaz, Bernie. I mean, it's

436
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 6: a stretch. So it's a stretch.

437
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Well, you're right about Sean Page. And by the way,

438
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: he is a Bill Parcells disciple. And I've ever been

439
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: in a press conference Parcels. It's a it's a treat. Finally, Darren,

440
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: great stuff is always By the way, what is happening

441
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: with Colorado football? I understand Sano Sanders is involved in

442
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: this kind of lawsuit and he's even filed bankruptcies? Do

443
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: I have my facts right? Can you please set the

444
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: record straight? Are you aware of that?

445
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 6: Yeah? Well, I'm just catching up on that story. What

446
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 6: a crazy story. It was something back in high school

447
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 6: with a security guard that he apparently hit and he

448
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 6: got well the story maybe more that he had to

449
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 6: file for bankruptcy after losing a case for eleven million dollars. Like,

450
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess you're just trying to protect your cash.

451
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 6: But there are there liquid issues with the Sanders family

452
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 6: we're not aware of still. I mean, that's I don't know, man,

453
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 6: I'd have to know more about the whole story to

454
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 6: really make a judgment on it. He was like an

455
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 6: absurd amount of money for what seemed like some sort

456
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 6: of kind of just I don't know, man, you know what,

457
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 6: I guess I don't know about more about the specifics,

458
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 6: so it's hard for me to make a judgment. Okay,

459
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 6: But I mean, it just came out, So who knows.

460
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 6: This came out like Memorial Day weekend in the after

461
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 6: late in the day yesterday or Saturday rather and or Friday.

462
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 7: I don't know.

463
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know when the hell it came out.

464
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 6: But but but Shiloh Sanders is filed for bankruptcy to

465
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 6: avoid paying eleven million dollars. You know what's crazy. There's

466
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 6: been a lot of Now, he does do fashion walks

467
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 6: in Europe, so maybe that can help. But what's crazy,

468
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 6: Bernie is despite the fact that it's been turbulent, right

469
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 6: turbulent for Sanders in the offseason, lots of crap going on.

470
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 6: They sold out the season like in two seconds, and

471
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 6: that hasn't happened in CU history, back to back sellouts

472
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 6: and who knows long. So for for whatever the outside

473
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 6: may see things falling apart, at least here in Colorado

474
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 6: people are curious and want to see it.

475
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 2: So I was.

476
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 6: I was up and Boulder yesterday. I'm running a ten Hey, Bernie,

477
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 6: have you ever heard of the Boulder?

478
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 7: Have you ever heard of it?

479
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: Bernie, I've been at Bulder, Colorado.

480
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: I've never heard of that.

481
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 6: Well, here's what happens on Memorial Day. A bunch of hippies,

482
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 6: like fifty thousand of us wake up at four o'clock

483
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 6: in the morning to run a ten k that's six

484
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 6: point two miles. I know the conversion from metrics to

485
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 6: the standard system is confusing for you. So we run

486
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 6: six point two miles and we finish in fullsome field.

487
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 6: So I'm in Boulder with the rest of the hippie

488
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 6: wannabes and they're Volvos and Subarus and signing up for

489
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 6: this race. And I'm like, Wow, people are still into

490
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 6: this stuff, really into this because everywhere you go and

491
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 6: see you gear, I hear talk about the bus. Everybody's

492
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 6: super positive about things. And maybe moving to a conference

493
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 6: where they really don't play defense. To say, twelve is

494
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 6: the key for success from the Sanders family. So Bernie,

495
00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 6: whatever crap you're gearing, that's outside noise for d and

496
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 6: Shiloh and Chador, try to shunter because everybody else then

Speaker 6: So keep at it.

508
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: I did run a ten k once on a bet

509
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. I'd have a I was actually

510
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: an athlete back that I had to have a hip

511
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: replacement in ninety eight, so I'm not allowed to run.

512
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: But I bet a guy I could do it, and

513
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 1: I ran it forty eight minutes and twenty one seconds.

514
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: I swore I never do it again, Shard, never do it. Yeah,

Speaker 8: gave up three runs and six hits over five and

559
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 8: two thirds innings.

560
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 9: Pitched Bernie back to you.

561
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Martin, appreciate it, Bud. All right. I

562
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: said it before and I'll say it again. Friday was

563
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: check that Thursday was May twenty third. That date, when

564
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: the history books are written, will be a pre eminent

565
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: date in the history of college athletics. The NCAA and

566
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: other powers conferences officially agreed to a settlement in the

567
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: House versus NCAA case. And it's only a major news

568
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: if you've really been following what's happening over the past

569
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: ten years and you start to hear the numbers, which

570
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to share with you in a minute. But

571
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: let me give you a little historical perspective. I guarantee

572
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: my buddy Steve Hartman knows his story. Let's go back

573
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: to September nineteen fifty five. A gentleman by the name

574
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: of Ray Denison, while playing college football for Fort Lewis

575
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: A and M, died on the field after an on

576
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: field collision. I believe it was during a kickoff. Now,

577
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: ray Denison was married and even had kids. But ray

578
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: Denison's widow was denied death benefits and what has become

579
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: a foundational case for the NCAA. His involvement was quote

580
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: characterized as a student athlete, which was cited as one

581
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: of the early cases or uses of the term student

582
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: athlete back in nineteen fifty five. So, after Dennison died,

583
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: his widow, well, she filed a claim for death benefits

584
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: with the Colorado Industrial Commission under a Workman's Compensation Act.

585
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: The Commission actually approved the claim, but on appeal, a

586
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: district court affirmed the decision. Okay, so she'll get benefits, right.

587
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: But Fort Lewis University, along with the State Compensation Insurance

588
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 1: Fund fought the case too, and Neil and then they

589
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: took it all the way to the Colorado Supreme Court. Well,

590
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: the court initially ruled in nineteen fifty seven that Dennison's wife,

591
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: her name was Billy, was not entitled to death benefits.

592
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: Why the Supreme Court justices the Colorado Supreme Court, what

593
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: was their reasoning that football players are quote student athletes,

594
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: not college employees. Well, things are going to change and

595
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: they're going to change dramatically. The settlement includes a payout

596
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: of two point two point seventy five billion from the

597
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: NCAA to former student athletes going back as far as

598
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen onward on any of those who lost out

599
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: on anil opportunities. Now the money is going to be

600
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: doled out over what a ten year period. More importantly,

601
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: it allows each conference to begin revenue sharing. Revenue sharing

602
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: with their student athletes is as they see fit. That

603
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: means money from all these big, massive TV deals is

604
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: going to start to make its way directly to the players,

605
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: completely unheard of concept even just a few years ago. Now,

606
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: this change, webelieve will come as soon as next year

607
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: and could include about twenty million dollars per school distributed

608
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: to their you know, respective power conference athletes. All Right,

609
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: So on the face of it, it's being applauded, certainly

610
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: by players the next players the field.

611
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: It's a great move, an equitable move.

612
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: You know. This sort of mirage and full paw image

613
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: that college athletics are amateurs is really kind of shroud

614
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: of the reality that the NCAA's business model is. It's

615
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: come to a point now where I think reasonable minds

616
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: feel it's unfair. Right, the college players on the field

617
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: are the ones, are the reasons that the money's flowing in.

618
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: And some some you know, attorneys have argued that the

619
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: college business model was maybe illegal. I don't know about

620
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: all that, but clearly, when you are looking at the

621
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: stars on the college grid iron, on the basketball court,

622
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, you're tuning in to watch them.

623
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: And of course you know, the programs and the schools

624
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: and the tradition and the rivalries all matter, but it's

625
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: really the athletes fame, let's face it. So how does

626
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: this change college sports? Well, it's only natural to wonder.

627
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 1: If you completely shed the amateur label, do college sports

628
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: now become more corporate? Do they lose a little other exuberance?

629
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: It does become a little stale. It has become more

630
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: business like, a little more buttoned up. The product is

631
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: deniably going to be somewhat different. I just don't know how,

632
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: but it's still gonna be awesome. Okay. I know you

633
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: can piss and moan about the end of all the

634
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: conferences all we want, but look, things evolve in this world.

635
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: They just do.

636
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: We used to shoot, you fight wars with a single

637
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: shot rifle. And you can piss and moan about the

638
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: end of all the conferences, but making more big name

639
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: games is going to draw more eyes to college football

640
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: and other sports. Look at Michigan schedule this year versus

641
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: what it was last year. Okay, now, this shouldn't really

642
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: change the academic experience for the athletes. The truth is

643
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: most student athletes don't go pro in their respective sports.

644
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 2: You've seen that commercial.

645
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: So now these athletes are going to get to earn

646
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: an education and get paid appropriately while performing on the field.

647
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: That is being applauded as a somewhat novel concept. Okay, still,

648
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: people are always going to complain. I think, though, that

649
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: things are moving in the right direction because.

650
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: I live on this planet.

651
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: My eyes are wide open and some the Victor Hugo

652
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: once said, And by the way, while I was in Paris,

653
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: I got to drive and walk by the building where

654
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: Victor Hubot is buried.

655
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: Pretty cool with Victor Hubert had a quote.

656
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: Once It said, a thousand armies cannot stop an idea

657
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: whose time has come. And this is an idea who

658
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: apparently time has come. The brightest minds, the brightest legal minds,

659
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: college football is a multi billion dollar industry now, so

660
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: the players are going to be sharing it. So how

661
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: will this affect you know, your your typical Saturday.

Speaker 1: coming to you live from the tyrac dot com studios

673
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: here in Las Vegas. Coming up in about thirteen minutes,

674
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: Mark Medina, Medina Magic. Lots of NBA stuff to get to,

675
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: many many stories on and off the court. Look forward

676
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: to Mark's perspective on those. All right, So, now you've

677
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: got this college you know deal as it were, two

678
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: point seven five billion settlement House versus NCAA case, So

679
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: that TV money's going to filter its way down of

680
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: the players. And I can hear the teeth gnashing. Now,

681
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: you know, people call it a doomsday scenario. It's you know,

682
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: the people who don't think things through before they start talking.

683
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: They put their mouth in charge while their brain goes

684
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: on vacation. That they're blaming NCAA attorneys and expert witnesses,

685
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: and they're threatening that. You know, hey, the public's got

686
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: to lose interest in college sports if the athletes are

687
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: ever compensated beyond their scholarships. Why please explain why you

688
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: believe that will happen. I mean, even Neil Pilson, former

689
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: CBS president. He testified during the twenty fourteen Eddie O'Bannon

690
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: versus NCAA trial. He said, quote, if we go down

691
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: the road of paying players substantial sums, all will be lost.

692
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: He cited misleading public opinion polls that the NCAA invoked

693
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: during the case. Any predicted viewership would fall by twenty percent. Okay,

694
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: any buddy, you need to lie down with a cold compress,

695
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: get yourself some warm milk and soft music, and hope

696
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: it goes away. Because see, we've only got about five

697
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: years of data that confirms the argument was completely bogus.

698
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: Many college athletes, not just in football and men's basketball,

699
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: began quote receiving substantial sums of money three years ago

700
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: July first, twenty twenty one. That's when the NL money started.

701
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: Nil money started to flow. What's happened since? What's happened since?

702
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: Thirty seven? Regular season college football games last season garnered

703
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: at least five million viewers, up from twenty nine a

704
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: decade earlier. Last year's Ohio State Michigan game do the

705
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: largest regular season attendance audience attendance from TV nineteen point

706
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: one million. That was the largest in thirteen years, I

707
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: should say, and that's back when you know NCAA violations

708
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: where if you bought a kid a bagel and it

709
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: had cream cheese, you were gonna go to jail.

710
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 2: Okay.

711
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: Then of course there's women's basketball, which has seen stratushat growth,

712
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: tremendously tremendous growth, and give it up players like Juju

713
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: Watkins and Cameron Brink and yes, Caitlin Clark. You know

714
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: it's funny. There used to be the slogan I like Mike,

715
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: it's too late for me to copyright this not I

716
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: don't care.

717
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: I'm not looking for a money grub.

718
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: I guarantee you somebody put shirts out said I hate Kate,

719
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, with a winking and no smiling face emoji

720
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek, probably sell millions of them. I hate Kate,

721
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: should have seen the arena in Las Vegas tonight. Well,

722
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: but go ahead, carry on, carry on, dude, you gotta do.

723
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's a hell of a rookie class.

724
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: Let's give props to all the ladies. But people are good.

725
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: I going to keep watching college football because there is

726
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: no greater loyalty in American sports than a person's favorite

727
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: college Fall Saturdays are awesome. Oh my god, they're awesome.

728
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: I think I know a thing or two about this.

729
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: I lived fifteen minutes outside of ann Arbor, covered that

730
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: team for fourteen years. I grew up as a kid

731
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: usc eu Cla. I've been to Notre Dame, been a lot,

732
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: you know the Horseshoe. I've been down to LSU, been

733
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: to South Carolina game in Columbias South Carolina, have even

734
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: been to Ivy League games. There's nothing quite like a

735
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: fall Saturday, especially when October rolls around. Do you think

736
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: people are gonna stop watching simply because people are players

737
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: are getting money that I can't shay you you got

738
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: the Mike budd yours are are you around there?

739
00:37:59,719 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 2: Shay?

740
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: Okay, so he's gone, all right, h Martin? You with

741
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: me about.

742
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: All right? Well we'll come back to this later. We'll

743
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 2: see you know, who's.

744
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: Going to stop watching college football just because you know,

745
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: players are getting money by the way, NIL collectives they

746
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: won't need to raise as much money as you do currently,

747
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: but likely they will. Probably this might be the guardrail

748
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: that is needed. I think you're going to see a

749
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: salary cap workaround for upper tier programs that have national

750
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: championship ambitions because boosters they were including you know, they

751
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: were inducing recruits before well before NIL, make no mistake, okay,

752
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: and there's no reason to think they'll stop in a

753
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: new model. But with players now, this is going to

754
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: level the playing field a little bit. When you got

755
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: as much as twenty million dollars per school, you know,

756
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: being doled out among players, it's amount of money.

757
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: All right.

758
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 1: Again, the settlement, you know, I want to say it

759
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: one last time for emphasis. May twenty twenty four, I

760
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: believe will become a day then in the Analyson history

761
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 1: of college sports will be like before and after before

762
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: and after day You've got you know, each conference now

763
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: that will have the green light to begin revenue sharing

764
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: with their student athletes, however they fit as do they

765
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: want to do it. This total payout, which is a

766
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: derivative of the house versus NCAA case, is just under

767
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: three billion dollars and they're winding the clock back to

768
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, so players who would have lost out on

769
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: nil opportunities might claim some recompense. The money's going to

770
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: be paid out over a ten year period. Well, the

771
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: product and college football change. I think it's going to

772
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: change somewhat only because of all the conference realignments and

773
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: the different scheduling, but it's gonna be awesome. And we've

774
00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: even got a what twelve teen playoffs this year over

775
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: it many times, so it's still going to be an

776
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: awesome product. The sport might look a little different, but

777
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: it's equitable. And it's one of those situations that, like

778
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: I said, the world evolves, you know, survive at advance

779
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: if you will adapt or die. And I think when

780
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: you turn on the TV with your favorite beverage is fall,

781
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: college football will still look the same. It's just the

782
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: players now we'll be getting some due recompense for their

783

Speaker 1: efforts coming up. Mark Medina Medina Magic, we talk NBA

00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: and rages on. We are down to the final four

794
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: as we head toward the NBA Finals or three weeks

795
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: from the draft. Three four weeks from the draft, and

796
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: there is plenty of news all around the league, which

797
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: means three simple words. It's that time a guy, Mark

798
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 1: Medina Medina Magic. You hear him every Saturday night midnight

799
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: on the Bernie Frattle Show, chopping it up all things NBA.

800
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: Mister Medina, how are you on this fine surreally in

801
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: blue sky Sunday morning.

802
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 7: Well, you always know the answer to that. When we're talking.

803
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 7: Always good because a lot of things on tap with

804
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 7: the NBA playoffs, I presume we'll see the Boston Celtics

805
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 7: in the NBA Finals pre soon.

806
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels a little anti climactic. I guess we'll

807
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: start there. Let's put Boston in the finals without Tyrese Halliburton.

808
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 1: I just don't see it in the cards for Indiana.

809
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: But let's flip to the Dallas Minnesota series. It's been

810
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: the game within the game. Luca looks unstoppable. Poor Anthony

811
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: Edwards looks tired, Luc who's had to guard all three series.

812
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that series? Do you see a path

813
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: from Minnesota to maybe surprise the world the way they

814
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: did it's Denver.

815
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, I certainly see a path for Minnesota to bounce back.

816
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 7: I mean, when you look at that seven game series

817
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 7: against the Denver Nuggets, every game had its own identity.

818
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 7: First Minnesota gets out two to oh, then Denver's up

819
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 7: three too, and then Minnesota wins the final two games.

820
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 7: So I think that, you know, the lesson learned for

821
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 7: this is a lot of times in the playoffs, you know,

822
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 7: there's not really such a thing as momentum from game

823
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 7: to game, unless, of course, there's an injury, so I

824
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 7: think that Minnesota can bounce back. But this is going

825
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 7: to be easier so than Don Dallas is just on

826
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 7: a whole other level here because Luka Domcic, He's already

827
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 7: been doing the Luca things that we know make him

828
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 7: a special player, but he's also trusted his teammates more.

829
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 7: Also helps that Kyrie Irving is looking like the player

830
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 7: that teamed up with Lebron James in Cleveland to win

831
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 7: a champion in twenty sixteen. They've been a perfect fit

832
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 7: from a x's and o's standpoint as well as personalities,

833
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 7: because Luca is the number one guy but on the

834
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 7: basketball floor, but Kyrie is the leader because he's a

835
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 7: veteran player. And then they have a lot of great

836
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 7: supporting cast members. I think the most notable examples PJ

837
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 7: Washington and Derek Lyiley the second. You know PJ is

838
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 7: a great positional defender one through five, very physical and offensively,

839
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 7: he could hit outside shots. He prepares himself really well

840
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 7: to be able to do catch and shoot, also get downhill.

841
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 7: And Derek Lyly the second he's a rookie, but he

842
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 7: plays like a veteran with just having a lot of

843
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 7: rim protection. I remember talking to him earlier this season.

844
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 7: He was really saying how he's modeled his game after

845
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 7: you know some elite big men like Kakimlachwa, Nikola Joki Gianasntotokumpo,

846
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 7: and you might think, well whatever, it's easy to say

847
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 7: cup to them and emulate them, but he really has

848
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 7: studied their game footage and really trying to emulate the

849
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 7: way they pass and their footwork. And you know, he's

850
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 7: far from a finished product, but he is mastering the fundamentals.

851
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 7: So with that, I think Dallas is going to take

852
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 7: the series, but I think Minnesota can still keep it

853
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 7: competitive starting with a win Game three.

854
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you bring up some good points about the way

855
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: this Mavericks team is constructed.

856
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 2: I find it fascinating.

857
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: Mark. A year ago, at this time, after picking up

858
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irvig, we were scratching our heads as to why

859
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: they tanked, but it was almost like a strategic ratique.

860
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: You bring up Derek Lively. I think that combination of

861
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: him and Daniel Gafford has really helped Kyrie and Luca.

862
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: They combined for thirty points, fourteen rebounds, five blocks. The

863
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: rekavicat on both ends of the floor, Their length is

864
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: changing the look of this Dallas team. Could they carry

865
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: them all the way to the championship?

866
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, for sure. I think they're the real deal.

867
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 7: I think ever since I all of them take their

868
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 7: game to another level against Oklahoma City, the top seeded

869
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 7: team in the West, I had all this team's for

870
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 7: real and they very well could win an NBA championship.

871
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 7: Bottom line is I think whoever comes out of the

872
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 7: West is going to win the NBA title. I think

873
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 7: mist of Dallas have played consistently better than Boston, even

874
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 7: though they have a lot of talent. But I think that,

875
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 7: you know, when push comes to shove, they've had a

876
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 7: relatively easier path through the Eastern Conference because a lot

877
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 7: of the you know, all the teams they faced have

878
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 7: had major injuries, including Indiana's with Tyris Alburn. So yeah,

879
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 7: they are the real deal. And to contrast what you're

880
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 7: talking about last season. To be clear here, ever since

881
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 7: Kyrie Irving got to Dallas, I heard nothing but good

882
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 7: things as far as his fit, his personality. He's not

883
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 7: causing a lot of shenanigans like you did in Brooklyn

884
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 7: and in Boston. But they weren't good enough last season

885
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 7: because a, even though the chemistry was good, they didn't

886
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 7: have a lot of time together, and be the rest

887
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 7: of their roster wasn't good. And so I think that

888
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 7: they decided last offseason it's better to keep Kyrie than

889
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 7: nothing at all. Un let's just try to build from it.

890
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 7: And I would say that even through most of the season,

891
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 7: I thought it was the right move. But they're stealing

892
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 7: as second round and nothing more. But once they made

893
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 7: those trade deadline moves that you mentioned PJ. Washington and

894
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 7: Daniel Gafford, that has dramatically changed their team and you know,

895
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 7: not just featuring two star guys, but actually complete too.

896
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: I like this version of Kyrie. I can hold two

897
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: thoughts concurrently. He actually shows up to work and he's

898
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: paired with Luca. Listen, I've been, you know, observing and

899
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 1: covering the NBA for a long time. They are as

900
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: perhaps at least at least certainly in Spurts. Now you

901
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: got to finish the job. Mark, I really want your

902
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: opinion on this. I don't think this is aferbly in Spurts,

903
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 1: they look to be as good as any offensive duo

904
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 1: in the history of the game.

905
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 7: Well, I know that you and Stan Van Gundy think

906
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 7: that way. I'm going to push back, well, only in spurts.

907
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 2: Only in spurts. Go ahead in.

908
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 7: Spurts, But look, Kwit Thompson, Steph Curry, are I think

909
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 7: the best backcourt because of the championships they want right

910
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 7: they're shooting. But I would also go down the list,

911
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 7: you know, Jerry West and Calee Goodrich, I would consider

912
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 7: them better. I mean, the bottom line is we're in

913
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 7: the middle of Saint Luca and Kyrie do a lot

914
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 7: of great things their careers, not over their resumes, not

915
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 7: over as a duo, so they very well could do that.

916
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 7: But it's hard for me to, even though I'm singing

917
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 7: their praises, to proclaim them as the best, even in spurts,

918
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 7: when they haven't won a championship together yet.

919
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: Well, and Mark, I can't disagree with any of that,

920
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: and I think you can textualize that a much better way.

921
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: I you know, I have to say this too, that

922
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: I think that Luca and Kyrie are playing in a

923
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: very watered down version of the NBA. Okay, I'm sorry,

924
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: I will go to my grave with it. Just certain

925
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: possessions they just look unguardable.

926
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 2: They just do.

927
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: But and West did win the one championship, and look

928
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: Curry for I hate these arguments. Bill Russell said it best.

929
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: Don't compare players, don't compare ghostscenaris.

930
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 7: I'm going to recuse what I said Nixon in the

931
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 7: early eighties too.

932
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: It was a great point guard on Ducane. I love

933
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: the guy, and I was there three years before manager's

934
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: rookie year. And he'll bring that offense together. People don't

935
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: really realize that. And he graciously stepped aside. Let magic

936
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: bring the ball up the court. I know it was there,

937
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: so I guess I should really recuse what I said.

938
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: It was kind of a dumb comment. Let's move along.

939
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 7: Can't anything right?

940
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: Please scratch it from the record, your honor. Many Williams

941
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 1: in Detroit. My moles are telling me that he may

942
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 1: they may just eat the sixty million dollars.

943
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 7: Hell.

944
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 1: I remember when Trajan Langdon was a rookie at Duke

945
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: in a in a struggling mindly baseball player. Look at him.

946
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: Now I'm here, and they're going to get rid of

947
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:04,959
Speaker 1: MONTI Williams, what are you hearing?

948
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 7: Wow? That is interesting. Look with the Detroit Pistons, they

949
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 7: were terrible. This season, so you can't rule anything out.

950
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 7: It's just I don't want to say surprising, but the

951
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 7: fact that it was his first year and there's a

952
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 7: lot of percentage. You know, there's a lot of pies

953
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 7: that blame that people deserve. I think it's management first,

954
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 7: player second. But yeah, Monty Williams didn't do a good

955
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 7: job either. You know, he had the resume in Phoenix,

956
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 7: in New Orleans. He's a veteran coach, but you know,

957
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 7: he was paid a lot of money, not necessarily to

958
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 7: make the Pissons into a contenter, but at least respect respectable,

959
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 7: and they just became a punching bag. So I guess

960
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 7: I'm not surprised. On one hand, it was just, uh,

961
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 7: I thought that they would give it at least another

962
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 7: season of seeing how you know, and improve Raws sure

963
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 7: could fare under him.

964
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not a fit of complete I just know

965
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: it's being discussed. Yeah, it's very much being discussed, and

966
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: I'm guessing you may or may not have heard the

967
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: same thing.

968
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 7: And all that takes is, you know, discussions eventually lead

969
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 7: to decisions. So this might pave the way for that

970
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 7: change this offseason, or it might kind of set the

971
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,959
Speaker 7: tone for next season where money is on the hot seat.

972
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: Well, the final thought on that, I would just say this,

973
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna be the Pistons are on the hook for

974
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: the sixty million anyway, and I don't think they were

975
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: very pleased with the way the system they overpaid to

976
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 1: get them. You know, they had to really bend over backwards.

977
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,720
Speaker 1: I think they regret it, and now with Trajan langdon

978
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: coming in, I think they I'm going to just give

979
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: it a fifty to fifty deal and keep it right there.

980
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 2: We'll revisit it later in this summer because you're gonna

981
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 2: be on.

982
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: Fifty two weeks, so moving along. I'm also hearing and

983
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: you got better sources than I do for sure on

984
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: this matter. I've heard the re that BJA Bickerstaff has

985
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: gone as beaking of a Donovan Mitchell had a real

986
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,240
Speaker 1: say in the decision. Is that true?

987
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 7: Well, here's here's where things get tricky with that, because

988
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 7: star players know how things get relayed. I don't think

989
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 7: that he gave ultimatums to Cleveland directly that you got

990
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 7: to fire JB. Bickerstaff, But UH, front offices make decisions

991
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 7: knowing how star players will react. So you know you

992
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 7: can connect the dots there, so I don't think it

993
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 7: was anything direct, but I think Cleveland made this calculus

994
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 7: that their odds would be substantially improving to secure Donovan

995
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 7: Mitchell to an extension if they make some changes the

996
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 7: low hanging fruit obviously as a head coach. But I

997
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 7: won't even stop there. I mean, you know, I'm curious

998
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 7: what kind of trade package they can get for Darius

999
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 7: Garland because they just want you don't want to mess

1000
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 7: around in today's NBA when you have a star player,

1001
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 7: it's almost like the year before you're a free agent

1002
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 7: is actually when you're a free agent, because if he

1003
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 7: declines the extension offer, the writing is on the wall

1004
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 7: that he's likely gone, and then therefore they have to

1005
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 7: decide to trade him so they get something instead of nothing.

1006
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 7: So they're trying to do, you know, all these you know,

1007
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 7: preemptive things to maximize their odds when Donovan has the

1008
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 7: pen to sign.

1009
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: And I don't want to imply that he gave anybody

1010
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 1: an ultimatum. I do think though, that I would liken

1011
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:42,359
Speaker 1: it too. Did you ever hear the real backstory mark

1012
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: of how Isaiah was left off the nineteen ninety two

1013
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: Dream teams. Did you ever hear about Kachuck Daily was

1014
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: the coach of that team. Oh, here's what I heard.

1015
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: And I'm going to tie this into to Donovan Mitchell.

1016
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: So they asked Jordan to play. Jerry ryn Storre said, look,

1017
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: we really, we really want you. Michael, will you please play?

1018
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: He goes, fax me the roster, fax me the roster.

1019
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: He is nineteen ninety one, and they faxed him the

1020
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: roster in Isaiah's name is on the roster and George,

1021
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna be able to play, and

1022
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: so they go, okay, well, what's it gonna take. It'll

1023
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: fax me the roster again. They faxed the roster again,

1024
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: a couple of changes. Isaiah's name is on there. Now

1025
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to play. Well, what's it going to take?

1026
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Fax me the roster again. Fax the

1027
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: roster without Isaiah. Jordan goes, okay, I'll play. Very much

1028
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: stemming from the nineteen ninety one when the bad boys

1029
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: walked off the court and they took the mantle and

1030
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: to Jordan rules and there was incredible bad But why

1031
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: am I going with that? I think it was very passive.

1032
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell might have been you know, well, you know,

1033
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: let's just say if he's not here, I won't be

1034
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,439
Speaker 1: pissed or something. He's something like that. But I think

1035
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: his opinion was taken into consideration. That that's all I

1036
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: guess I'm trying to say.

1037
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we're speaking the same language here. It's

1038
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 7: just that, you know, front offices and players. They played chess,

1039
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 7: not checkers, so it's more of you know, knowing and

1040
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 7: anticipating how someone feels without having the direct contact about it.

1041
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: Finally, always good stuff, Mark. I'd be remiss if we

1042
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: didn't revisit the JJ Reddick conversation right on schedule. I said,

1043
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 1: the Lakers is going to milk this role. It's worth

1044
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: It's now on fifteen days and I will be surprised

1045
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: if they don't hire JJ Reddick.

1046
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 2: But it's more of an opinion.

1047
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the matter and where are

1048
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: they in the process to Lakers.

1049
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we'll have this conversation for I think,

1050
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 7: what four more weeks or three more weeks, because.

1051
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: I think I'm looking like a profit. I say they

1052
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: were going to milk it at least go ahead continuine.

1053
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 7: I was going to say it's going to happen after

1054
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 7: the NBA Finals, before the NBA Draft. And here's a

1055
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 7: few things here. The Lakers will say they're doing their

1056
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 7: due diligence, they're talking as many people as they can,

1057
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 7: and that's technically true. But JJ Reddick's and the driver's seat.

1058
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 7: I expect that he'll be the coach. I think what's

1059
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 7: happening here. There's a few things. One's a financial part.

1060
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 7: They don't technically need a head coach right now when

1061
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 7: it's May and they're not in the playoffs, so that

1062
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 7: saves a little bit of money. But I think the

1063
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 7: bigger driving force is this which validates the Lakers saying, hey,

1064
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 7: they're talking to other people too. They want to find

1065
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 7: the right coaching staff as well as the right head

1066
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 7: coaching candidates. So when they're talking to all these candidates,

1067
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 7: it's not just about how would you look in the

1068
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 7: head coach's role. It's about how do you look as

1069
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 7: an assistant coach or a player development coach depending on

1070
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 7: your seniority or you're an experience And then within that,

1071
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 7: assuming JJ Uddick's the head coach, how would that fit work?

1072
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 7: A lot of times when you have a veteran assistant

1073
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 7: coach for a young coach, it can be a good

1074
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 7: thing because he can protect that player or that person's

1075
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 7: blind spots and help them grow. But sometimes it can

1076
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 7: be a landmine because that coach can always wonder, hey,

1077
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 7: is that assistant coach trying to take my seat eventually?

1078
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 7: So I think it's about, you know, making sure they

1079
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 7: find the right fit and that everyone's on the same page.

1080
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 7: But I fully expect that JJ Reddick will be named

1081
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 7: the head coach before the draft.

1082
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: And of course the comparisons to pat Riley inevitable. But

1083
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: I was there, and I love pat Riley. Pat Riley

1084
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: took over for a team that had won the championship.

1085
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 7: Can I shoot that down too for you?

1086
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 2: Go ahead?

1087
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, pat pat Riley jumped from the broadcast booth

1088
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 7: to coaching, JJ Reddick jumping from the podcast booth to coaching.

1089
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 7: But there's a small, slight important detail here. Pat Riley

1090
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 7: was an assistant coach first before on.

1091
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: The championship team in nineteen eighty I was there. Cores

1092
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: slicked his hairback, you looked a lot.

1093
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 7: Another key details what you alluded to. Pat Riley became

1094
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 7: the head coach of a team that he was already

1095
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 7: had a roll on Number one, number two. It was

1096
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 7: the showtime Lakers. I mean, yes, Kareem abdul Jabbar was

1097
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,959
Speaker 7: you know, gain later in his career, but he still

1098
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 7: had plenty of basketball left to him. But it was

1099
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 7: a young Magic Johnson Therese, the supporting cast is in

1100
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 7: their prime. JJ Reddick is interviewing for a job with

1101
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 7: a forty year old Lebron James Anthony Davis who has

1102
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 7: been a lot healthier than most of his career, but

1103
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 7: you also never know, and an unproven supporting cast. So

1104
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 7: like completely different scenario here where this head coach and

1105
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 7: the Lakers will can see this is that they're having

1106
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 7: to handle a lot of tough responsibilities. You're trying to

1107
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 7: manage a superstar who's still playing elite level, but you know,

1108
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 7: Father time will knock on his door at some point

1109
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 7: in lebron ad and whether he can carry the mantle

1110
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 7: to be the number one guy once Lebron's right off

1111
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 7: in the sunset and then a very fluid roster everywhere else.

1112
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 7: On top of that, how how do you prioritize winning

1113
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 7: now and developing the players for long term? So yeah,

1114
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 7: the pat Riley comparison. It's it's not just apples and oranges.

1115
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 7: It's a complete in actorate comparison. So yeah, I degree.

1116
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: And while we're getting into the weeds and getting granular,

1117
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: because I was there, Jack McKinney constructed that offense had

1118
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: a terrible bicycle accident, got hurt. After seventeen games, Paul

1119
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: Westhead took over as the dutiful indentured servant.

1120
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 2: They won.

1121
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: They won the championship in nineteen eighty. The following year,

1122
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: Westead changed the offense to a half.

1123
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 2: It would almost be like.

1124
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: Taking over the Kansas City Chiefs and saying, you know,

1125
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Wawl, if we're going to run the option now, okay,

1126
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson walked in and says I want to be traded,

1127
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: Get me out of here, and they all lost their minds.

1128
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: He was on the front page of the La Times.

1129
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: West Head was fired, pat Riley took over, came out.

1130
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: You know, he was chick her and sidekick, and it's

1131
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: his history. So I think it's more the fact that

1132
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: it's optics and image. Good looking guys slip tear back.

1133
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: Riley would buy his suits from Florence, Italy. JJ Red's

1134
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna come in there with an edge because look, man,

1135
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: I love the hell out of Patrick Riley. He's got

1136
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 1: an edge, Man, he has got an edge. Make no mistake.

1137
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: Reddick's got that same kind of edge. It could play,

1138
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: it could sell, we'll see. But you're spot on, Mark.

1139
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: Great stuff is always the comparison, the true comparison. If

1140
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: people know the backstory between Patrick Riley and JJ Redick,

1141
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: it's a complete fagazy.

1142
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're both preaching to the choir here. And I'm

1143
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:40,439
Speaker 7: saying this as someone who respects JJ Reddick a lot,

1144
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 7: great NBA career, great basketball mind. I think he'll do

1145
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 7: a good job as a head coach. It's just that

1146
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 7: the dynamics with the Lakers and everything in play here,

1147
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 7: it makes for a very tough assignment, to say the least.

1148
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm all about out of the box hires, my friend.

1149
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: All Right, great stuff is always Mark looked for and

1150
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: you get you back next Aurday Night.

1151
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 7: Appreciate you.

1152
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: That is Mark Medina, Medina Magic. You hear him every

1153
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Saturday Midnight and the Bernie Frattle Show, and of course

1154
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: you hear him all around the network, Fox Sports Radio.

1155
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: He is in fact on Fox Sports radio guru. One

1156
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: other bit of business. There's a guy by the name

1157
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: it rhymes with Bronnie James. Will he be drafted?

1158
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:20,919
Speaker 9: Well?

1159
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Stephen A.

1160
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,959
Speaker 1: Smith intimated there's a certain NBA team that no one's

1161
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: talking about that could actually draft Bronnie James.

1162
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 2: I'll share it.

1163
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: Coming up, I'm Bernie Fraddle who come to you live

1164
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tirerack dot com studios.

1165
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: Keep it locked right here. You're listening to the Bernie

1166
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. We're back on the

1167
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Come to you live

1168
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: through tyrerack dot com studios here in Las Vegas. Coming

1169
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: up bottom of the hour after Martin's update, Aaron Rodgers

1170
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: is back on his back talking anyway, We'll fill in

1171
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: the blanks on that one. So many people still believe

1172
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers will seek to draft Bronnie James, partly I

1173
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: have a desire to make Lebron happy.

1174
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 2: But Stephen A.

1175
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 1: Smith believes there is actually one Western Conference team that

1176
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: might try to pee on that parade, if it is

1177
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: a parade. Just this last Tuesday, Steven A. Smith's intimated

1178
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: that the Dallas Mavericks might try to draft Bronni in

1179
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: an effort to attempt Lebron into leaving the Lakers. He

1180
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: also said that the presidence of Kyrie Irving might make

1181
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: playing in Dallas more attractive from Lebron's perspective. I don't know.

1182
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it ain't gonna happen, but I feel

1183
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: like that if the Mavericks won a hatch a plan

1184
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: like this.

1185
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 2: They're gonna need to trade into at least a second round.

1186
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 2: They're only picking the entire draft.

1187
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 1: Is the fifty eighth and final selection, it's safe to

1188
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: say they might not get Bronni at that point. I

1189
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: believe me he's probably he's two hundred and one to

1190
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: be drafted one overall. If the Atlanta Hawks draft Bronnie

1191
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: number one overall, you're in line for a front of lobotomy.

1192
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: I got nothing against Brownie. I think he's a class kid.

1193
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Every time I've heard him talk, everywhere I've seen him

1194
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: conduct himself. Really really an impressive young man. I really

1195
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: like his I like his the cut of his jib.

1196
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: But come on, man, he was second team All league

1197
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: in high school. Okay, he averaged four point point four

1198
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: point eight points a game as a backup player for

1199
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: a team that went eight and twelve in conference. Please, okay,

1200
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: if his name was Eddie Gazinski, we're not talking about this.

1201
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: But listen, we're we're living in interesting times. The Chinese

1202
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: always said, maybe live in interesting times, and we are.

1203
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 1: And I think Lebron's made it, no bones about it.

1204
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: And it's not le Broni's dream. It's Lebron's dream to

1205
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: play with Brownie. I think Brownie's a pretty well grounded kid.

1206
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: I really do, from everything I've seen. Usually, you know

1207
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: it was everybody hating on him. Manager's chasing his dream. No,

1208
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: he's chasing your dream, Lebron. But I also don't think

1209
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,959
Speaker 1: Lebron will leave Los Angeles anytime soon.

1210
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 2: I just don't.

1211
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: But if you're the Mavericks and you've got Carrie, you've

1212
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: got Luca, and you have le Bron to the mix,

1213
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,439
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now they're going to be talked

1214
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: about more in the newspapers than the Dallas Cowboys. But

1215
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: story for a different day coming up. Aaron Rodgers is back, well,

1216
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: back talking again. I'll share with you what we have heard.

1217
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: But first let's go back to our guy, Martin Weiss

1218
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: with the latest.

1219
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 8: The Boston Celtics leave the Eastern Conference Finals three games

1220
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 8: to none after last night's come from behind victory one

1221
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 8: fourteen to one eleven. Jason Tatum scored thirty six points

1222
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 8: Andrew Nemhard had thirty two points in the loss of

1223
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 8: Pacers led for most of this game, at one point,

1224
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 8: as much as eighteen points of all NBA pacer guard

1225
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 8: Tyre's Halliburton miss Game three with the shore Hams during

1226
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,919
Speaker 8: the same hamstring that had been bothering him for most

1227
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 8: of the second half of the season. There's no word

1228

01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 8: a third period one to one tie. Dallas eventually talied

1231
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 8: an empty netter to give the Stars a two goal

1232
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 8: lead in the game, and event for the final series

1233
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 8: is tied one game a piece. In the WNBA back

1234
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 8: to back defending champs the Las Vegas Aces, they thumped

1235
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 8: the Indiana Fever ninety nine to eighty fever. We're on

1236
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 8: the second night of a back to back. Asia Wilson

1237
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,720

01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 8: and six on the season. Aaron Judges homered in four

1241
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 8: straight games. The Yankees beat the Padres down to San

1243
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 8: three game series later today at four to ten Eastern.

1244
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 8: The Dodgers lost four straight, the most recent being yesterday

1245
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 8: three to one lost.

1246
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 9: To the Reds.

1247
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 8: Walker Buehler gave up three runs and six hits over

1248
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 8: five and two thirds innings pitched. Let's see Saint Louis

1249
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 8: won it's fourth straight, seven to six over the Cubs.

1250
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 8: Minnesota when it's fourth street, fourth straight five to three

1251
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 8: over the Rangers. Rangers have lost six in a row, Bernie,

1252
01:04:58,760 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 8: back to you.

1253
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Martin, And of course it was any nfever.

1254
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: We're whopping thirteen and twenty seven last year, So I

1255
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: don't know what people might have been expecting on them.

1256
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Brutal start to the season, and this rooky class has

1257
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: just been getting mauled. I mean, I Angel reached very classy, said,

1258
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: hey man, we know you know they're going to come

1259
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: for us.

1260
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 2: It comes for Caitlin Clark too.

1261
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: If you watch that game Friday night or check that

1262
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: Saturday night, she was blitzed and they running her like

1263
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 1: a rented mule. So anyway, it's an interesting dynamic this

1264
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: year in the WNBA. We'll see if they can build

1265
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: on this popularity. If you wanted to go to the

1266
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: game Saturday night in Las Vegas, it's only one hundred

1267
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: and ninety seven a ticket.

1268
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 2: We all know why.

1269
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is back, we'll talking anyway. He's your starting

1270
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: quarterback of the New York Jets.

1271
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 2: Remember that.

1272
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: But he's apparently healthy now ready for a potential do

1273
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: or die season. And we heard a very introspective Aaron

1274
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers this past week. He said, quote, I don't If

1275
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,479
Speaker 1: I don't do what I'm capable of doing, we're all

1276
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: probably going to be out of here. And he said

1277
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: it after his first OTA practice, or maybe it was

1278
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: the second one. It was the first time the media

1279
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: had access to the OTAs, which stands for Official Team activities.

1280
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,439
Speaker 1: If he didn't know, says quoteough, I like that kind

1281
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: of pressure, though I kind of have to believe him

1282
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: on that. I do, okay, he is a four time MVP.

1283
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: But the narrative continued because he talked about the fates

1284
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: of coach Robert Sala and even the general manager, Joe Douglas.

1285
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 1: He says, I think he's basically saying our entire lives hinge.

1286
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: On the twenty twenty four season, the Jets, they're whopping

1287
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: eighteen and thirty three under Salam Douglas, and they are hoping.

1288
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess that their rosary has rope burns on

1289
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: their hands from the praying that they're going to have

1290
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: to do with this roster that has to be a

1291
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: win now roster the NFL's longest playoff drought thirteen years.

1292
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 2: He got a four year old quarterback.

1293
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: He's not only that, he's put himself on the hot

1294
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: seat as well. He went on to say, you might

1295
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: not say it, but as you get older in the league,

1296
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: if you don't perform, they're going to get rid of

1297
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: you and bringing the next guy to take over.

1298
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 2: Well, they're going to do that after a year.

1299
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm two, she says, justin fields, all right, it's ten

1300
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 1: and twenty eight didn't do real well. So if you're

1301
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: young old, I don't care who you are. The old

1302
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: not for long, right, But he goes on to say,

1303
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: it happened in Green Bay. To me, now, I'm a

1304
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: few years older than I was back then. By the way,

1305
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: huge props to Jordan Love. Hope they pay the man.

1306
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: Really love what he's doing there. I see what I

1307
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 1: did there. Naron Rodgers willow to say, I expect to

1308
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: play at a high level. I expect this to be

1309
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: productive and competitive and all that stuff. To take care

1310
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: of himself. For the first time in eight months, Rogers

1311
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: got under center, presided over the Jeff starting offense. From

1312
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing, I didn't see it. He showed he

1313
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: looked pretty sharp from what I'm hearing, did not look rusty,

1314
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: did not appear to show any lingering effects from the

1315
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: torn achilles. He's doing everything now. They're not in you know,

1316
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: full contactoring like that. But there was a ninety minute

1317
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: practice and he was a perfect two for two in

1318
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: his first eleven on eleven period, five for five and

1319
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: a seven on seven period, and apparently he completed eleven

1320
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: straight more passes before he missed Exavier Gibson on a

1321
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: deep sideline route. But and this isn't as easy as

1322
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: you know people think. I mean, I understand Kayleb Williams.

1323
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true through seven straight interceptions

1324
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 1: in the Bears practice.

1325
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 2: But look, you know, people start slow.

1326
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: You to hear my Caitlin Clark commentary, You'll see where

1327
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm going with at the top of the r But

1328
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 1: I digress. Look, everything was lined enough for the Jets

1329
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: last year. We all drank the koolid. We're all watching.

1330
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: It energized the team. I mean, they had a very

1331
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: disappointing last season. The Jets still managed to go seven

1332
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: to ten. They cycled in three other quarterbacks. You know,

1333
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett's going to remain the play caller. I guess

1334
01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: it's okay with Rogers. But here here's the comment. It

1335
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: really stood out to me. He said, I don't want

1336
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: to go out as a bum. So that's why I

1337
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 1: put in the work and believe in my abilities. I mean,

1338
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: you guys saw today there's no pads on. But I

1339
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: can obviously still throw it with the best. I can

1340
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: obviously still throw it with the best of them, and

1341
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 1: I can still move around. Okay, wait, wait a minute, Rogers,

1342
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: you're a four time MVP. You're going to the Hall

1343
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: of Fame. I know you only win one super Bowl,

1344
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,440
Speaker 1: but better than some people and win any Are you insecure?

1345
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:29,759
Speaker 2: You really really?

1346
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: You gotta tell us you can throw a football. You

1347
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: you gotta ask us if you can still move around.

1348
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: You have to be able to move around. If you're

1349
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback, you have to have a base level

1350
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: of talent. Right, this is a weird vibe I'm getting

1351
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: out of Aaron Rodgers. So you know, all I can

1352
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: say is that you know the Jets are either going

1353
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: to win or they're not gonna win. And I think

1354
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: if the Jets don't make the playoffs, all bets are off.

1355
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: I think Rogers very much has his finger on the

1356
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 1: pulse that it really is do or die. Playoffs are

1357
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: bust something I don't know. Whatever analogy, cute analogy you

1358
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: want to use, fair enough, but I think there's a

1359
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: real awareness. I think he's really concerned. I think he's

1360
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: really concerned. It didn't end well in Green Bay. Rogers

1361
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 1: has become sort of a punchline. He brought it upon himself.

1362
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: You know, he talks about his life being a beautiful mystery. No,

1363
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: it ain't beautiful, and it ain't a mystery. We know

1364
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 1: who you are and Rogers and by the way. I

1365
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 1: think your legacy is fairly well secure. You're one of

1366
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. And I

1367
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: realize again the only the one super Bowl, fair enough,

1368
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: But let's not, you know, pick on the ward on

1369
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 1: Lincoln's nose. The man has done a lot in the league,

1370
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 1: has been around a long time, and now he's showing

1371
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit more of a human side.

1372
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: We're not hearing about sitting in some dark room for

1373
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,839
Speaker 1: three days, or dating movie stars or any of that stuff.

1374
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: Right from what I'm hearing, Rogers walking back through that door.

1375
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: Participating in OTAs has genuinely, genuinely energized the Jets. If

1376
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: Rogers is healthy, the tide rises, all the boats are

1377
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: gonna rise. Even the defensive coordinator, Jeff Lulberg, said he

1378
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: thought it was amazing. He's watching Aaron Rodgers and he's like,

1379
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: what's going on in here? Has he found the fountain

1380
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: of youth? It's the same guy I saw years ago

1381
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 1: when he was dicing up the scout team staff. Look,

1382
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,560
Speaker 1: Rogers is only practicing on a limited basis, okay, and

1383
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 1: he's tying to he's working with the backups right now.

1384
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: Have we forgotten how improbable to come back this is

1385
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: gonna be after having surgery on that left achilles, and

1386
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he's anywhere near a hundred percent right now.

1387
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't see possibly how his footwork and lateral movement

1388
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: are going to be what they were in the past.

1389
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: How can it not be compromised when you're forty and

1390
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: you have a torn achilles and you are you know,

1391
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: you're forty years I just said that, you're forty years

1392
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 1: old and you're trying to heal. Now, I understand. As

1393
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: the days went on he got a little sharper. He

1394
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: participated in all the pre practice calistenics with the team,

1395
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 1: did the actual running. This is stuff he was not

1396
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: able to do at the end of last season when

1397
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: he started to get on the field. Remember those rumors

1398
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: he might come back. No, that wasn't going to happen.

1399
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 1: So the Jets were seven and ten, and look, I

1400
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: would just say this, if you are Jets fans, and

1401
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 1: if you are Jets manager, sit Aaron Rodgers down and say,

1402
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: can we please focus on football please? I don't want

1403
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 1: to hear anything about Shalley and Woodley and I just

1404
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: throw that's his throwaway line.

1405
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 2: But you know, it wasn't that long ago.

1406
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 1: Just weeks ago, Rogers made headlines when he was a

1407
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: man and as a potential running mate by Robert F.

1408
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior, who's on the ticket as an independent presidential candidate.

1409
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 1: Rogers he said that, you know, being a vice president,

1410
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 1: a vice president dential candidate was a real thing. I

1411
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 1: don't want to hear that from my quarterback. I want

1412
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: here know I got I got other fish to fry.

1413
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 1: I got bigger fish to fry. Starting quarterback of the

1414
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Let's see if RFK could pull that off.

1415
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 1: But he goes on, I love Bobby. We had a

1416
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 1: couple of really nice conversations. But there are two options.

1417
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: It was retiring, be a VP, or keep playing. I

1418
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,879
Speaker 1: want to keep playing. Okay, fine, let's just cut the bs.

1419
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 1: Concentrate on football. This is going to be one hell

1420
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 1: of a story. And I think Green Bay is like

1421
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: six primetime games this year, which I think is uh

1422
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: is really cool. And we're watching it and look, are

1423
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 1: you root for the story. That's what Dick Schapp taught me.

1424
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: You're root for the story. Tell me this is going

1425
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 1: to be tell me this is not going to be

1426
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: a story, and let's let's face it, we are. We

1427
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 1: are all here for the story. So what's the bottom line. Well,

1428
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has clearly embraced the gravity of the situation

1429
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,520
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. He actually sounds a little insecure.

1430
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 6: All Right.

1431
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: I just got back from London and I want to

1432
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: talk about what's pretty cool in the NFL schedule this

1433
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:20,799
Speaker 1: upcoming season. All of the international games, including three in London.

1434
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 1: You know you love watching him? Come on, you know

1435
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: you do. They're pretty cool. You complain about getting up early,

1436
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: but you're gonna do it. By the way, shortly after

1448
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,560
Speaker 1: inside the locker room and on the field that Tottenham

1449

1455
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: live from the tarret dot com studios here in Las Vegas.

1456
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 1: I just got back from London. Is in London these

1457
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: past few days, and as part of my journey, I

1458
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: visited both stadiums that the NFL would be playing games

1459
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: at this year. I actually tweeted out a picture standing

1460
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:44,519
Speaker 1: in front of Wembley Stadium at two different angles. And

1461
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 1: one of the games will be played at Wembley Stadium

1462
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: this year. It will be on let's see, it'll be

1463
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 1: October twentieth, between New England and Jacksonville. But here's the situation.

1464
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: The NFL is truly becoming an NFL. I checked that

1465
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 1: at an international sport, and they're gonna be playing games

1466
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 1: in three countries this year. And when they announced this schedule,

1467
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: they you know, the international portion of the schedule will

1468
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: commence October sixth between the New York Jets Aaron Rodgers

1469
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: and the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Otsper Stadium. That will

1470
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 1: be the first of three London games this season. I

1471
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 1: got to go there as well, go in the locker rooms, clubhouse,

1472
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: or ever go on the field. An amazing stadium, so

1473
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: it'll been open five years and so October sixth will

1474
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: be the first of three London games. Meanwhile, Jacksonville will

1475
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:38,799
Speaker 1: play back to back weeks in London against the Chicago

1476
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: Bears and New England Patriots. And in that situation, Jacksonville

1477
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: will play at Tottenham Otspur October thirteenth, and then the

1478
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 1: following week they'll play theyll play against the Bears and

1479
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 1: then they'll go about twenty minutes away to Wembley Stadium

1480
01:16:54,920 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 1: on October twentieth to play the New England Paid. So

1481
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:03,839
Speaker 1: those are your three London games. But it all starts

1482
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 1: for fun September sixth on a Friday, whereby the Eagles

1483
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:15,639
Speaker 1: will play the Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers old team,

1484
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: at Corinthians Reno Arena in Sale Paulo, Brazil. First time ever,

1485
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: this will be the time first time the NFL has

1486
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: ever taken this product. Not only into a foreign country

1487
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: four games in the same season. In addition, will be

1488
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 1: the first time ever going to Brazil on Friday, September sixth,

1489
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: The league announced that back in April again after the

1490
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 1: Jets Vikings matchup, Jaggs returned to the UK back to

1491
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 1: back matchups in London for the second time. They played

1492
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: the Bears Tottenham outsp October thirteenth, the Patriots at Wimpley

1493
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: on October twenty So quite an international schedule, by the way,

1494
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 1: not for nothing you already probably know this. Netflix is

1495
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: also win of de Fray. Christmas Day is on a

1496
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 1: Wednesday this year, so the NFL's two Christmas Day games

1497
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,799
Speaker 1: will be streaming on Netflix. Netflix struck a three season

1498
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: deal they'll broadcast at least one Christmas Day game in

1499
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 1: twenty five and twenty six. Also pretty good doubleheader on

1500
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 1: Christmas Day Wednesday at one o'clock Eastern and the Kansas

1501
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 1: City Chiefs will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers and

1502
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: then the Baltimore Ravens in the Houston Texans at four

1503
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:34,680
Speaker 1: thirty Eastern, also on Christmas Day. Christmas falls on a Wednesday,

1504
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: this doubleheader will be the first NFL game on a

1505
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 1: Wednesday since twenty twenty, when COVID nineteen forced the league

1506
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,560
Speaker 1: to reschedule a matchup. You remember this, The Pittsburgh Steelers

1507
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 1: were really really you know, scrambling then after their fast start,

1508
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 1: and they played Baltimore. This is historical, Okay. The NFL's

1509
01:18:58,080 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: actually only played one other Wednesday games.

1510
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 2: Since nineteen forty eight.

1511
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 1: They had to reschedule a game in twenty twelve between

1512
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants to a Wednesday

1513
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: because they didn't want to compete with Barack Obama's schedule

1514
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 1: speech at the Democratic National Convention. So last year, as

1515
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 1: you recall, the NFL played a tripleheaderround December twenty fifth.

1516
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 1: That was a Monday that averaged twenty two million viewers

1517
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 1: a game. The Packers Dolphins game was a twenty six million.

1518
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 1: Suffice it to say, it's almost upon us, and yes,

1519
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 1: the NFL will be playing games all around the.

1520
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:35,839
Speaker 2: World and we'll be watching.

1521
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 1: All right, you know you've made it when there's this

1522
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: kind of hate. I'm going to give my perspective on

1538
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Caitlin Clark. You know, there are objective

1539
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 1: truths and there are personal feelings. You may not like

01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: with Caitlyn Clark. Cost one hundred and ninety seven dollars

Speaker 1: a ticket to get into the michelob Light Arena tonight.

1544
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 1: There was almost eleven thousand people there. They never draw

1545
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 1: that many. They don't draw that many. It's a matter

1546
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 1: of fact. If you look at the NWNB, objectively typical

1547
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 1: WNBA game attracts about four thousand plus attendees. That puts

1548
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: them in line with mid level college game attendants. And

1549
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 1: this is a legal he's.

1550
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 2: Head into this year. It's never made money. Okay, I'm just.

1551
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: Saying again, objective truths and personal feelings. You all up

1552
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: in your fields about this. Knock yourself out, light up

1553
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 1: my feels. I'm going to speak truth. That's what I do.

1554
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 1: Advanced ticket sales in Indianapolis this past summer at the

1555
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 1: record levels, record prices, season tickets sold out. The team

1556
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 1: was even offering a new system where you can electronically

1557
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: line up each day to get tickets for upcoming games.

1558
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: Eleven thousand in Vegas tonight, nineteen thousand in LA last night.

1559
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: And people, some people are so happy that after four games,

1560
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: I know they played seven. Now I get it. She

1561
01:21:55,000 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 1: joined the stinky team, played the first two top defenses. Look,

1562
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna defend her because no matter what I say,

1563
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 1: your mind is made up, and I'm okay with that.

1564
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 1: Think what you want to think. I'm not here telling

1565
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: you what you should think. I'm chill. I have my opinion,

1566
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:19,840
Speaker 1: you have yours. And after four whole games, I know

1567
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 1: it's been seven now started after three games. Yeah, see,

1568
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: you could really justify what Dana Trossi said. I don't

1569
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 1: care what Dana Trossi said. She's pissed off in jealous

1570
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,559
Speaker 1: like the rest of him. Deal with it. Here's where

1571
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark is in good company. There are massive expectations

1572
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,599
Speaker 1: surrounding her. I have no idea what her MBWNBA career

1573
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,560
Speaker 1: is going to look like. Was she ever won a championship?

1574
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1575
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 1: Will she be a scoring I don't know. She's the

1576
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,840
Speaker 1: all time scoring leader in college. That's an objective fact,

1577
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: not a personal feel, an objective fact. But y'all want

1578
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: to piss on that as well too. You ever ever

1579
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: got named Willie Mays. Willie Mays was zero for fourteen

1580
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: in his first four team at bats. Leod de Rocher

1581
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,600
Speaker 1: saw him crying at the end of the bench and

1582
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 1: he said, skip, send me down. I'm not good enough

1583
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: to be here. Leo de Roascher put his armor on him, says,

1584
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 1: yes you are. You are my center fielder. I don't

1585
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: care what happens. The rest is history.

1586
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1587
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 1: Willie Mays, the great Willie Mays, God bless him, just

1588
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:25,519
Speaker 1: turned ninety three about a month ago. An electrifying player,

1589
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, had a very slow start. I don't

1590
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:33,400
Speaker 1: know what they were saying about him on Twitter back

1591
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,600
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty one, but I'm sure you could research it.

1592
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 1: Do you ever have a guy named Ken Griffy Jr.

1593
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 1: Greatest player in Mariner's history? Men among boys, eighteen years

1594
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 1: old the minor leagues. I saw him in single eight

1595
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: he was a minimum boys. A year later, he's in

1596
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 1: the major leagues. Nineteen year old, starting centerfielder, less than

1597
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: two years after he graduate from high school. And Ken

1598
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 1: Griffy's first fourteen games, Ken Griffy Jr. He batted one

1599
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: eighty nine, batted one eighty nine. Now, I don't know

1600
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 1: what Twitter said about him back in nineteen ninety, but

1601
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, figure it out. Maybe you heard of Sandy Kofax.

1602
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 1: Kofax struggled for three or four years. He couldn't throw strikes,

1603
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 1: had a mediocre thirty six and forty record four to

1604
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:22,559
Speaker 1: ten were earned run average. But he got turned around

1605
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: after he got a coach and a pitching coach, Norm Sherry,

1606
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 1: that worked with him on his delivery. Went on from

1607
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 1: the rest of the way to be seventy three games

1608
01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 1: over five hundred, one of the most dominant pitchers of

1609
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:41,679
Speaker 1: all time. I'm not even anywhere near being done Adrian Beltra,

1610
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 1: and I know you all folks remember what a great

1611
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 1: job he did in Los Angeles.

1612
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:47,679
Speaker 2: He's a Hall of Famer.

1613
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Beltri's rookie season in nineteen ninety

1614
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 1: eight and seventy seven games with the Dodgers. Beltre hit

1615
01:24:54,160 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: twoin fifteen, well below the league average of e other rookies,

1616
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 1: hit just two home runs in his first one hundred

1617
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: and fifty two at bats. Second season, he started to

1618
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 1: figure it out. You ever heard of a guy named

1619
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 1: Johnny Bench, arguably the greatest catcher of all time. They

1620
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: called him up to the big leagues in the nineteen

1621
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:21,479
Speaker 1: sixty seven season. In his first twenty six games, he

1622
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 1: hit won sixty three. The Reds weren't concerned. Again, I

1623
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:29,640
Speaker 1: don't know what they were saying on Twitter back in

1624
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:33,920
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three. But if Adrian Beltra and Johnny Bench,

1625
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: and and you know, Sandy Kofax and Ken Griffy Junior

1626
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 1: can all have Willie mains, can all have slow starts.

1627
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 1: How about Edgar Martinez, one of the greatest hitters of

1628
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:51,640
Speaker 1: all time bat has just won seventy three in his

1629
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 1: first thirty two games in the minor leagues in this

1630
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,600
Speaker 1: short season Class A Northwest League at billing him not

1631
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:02,599
Speaker 1: a great minor league, he kind of figured it out.

1632
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: George Brett. Everybody knows who George Brett is. Hall of Famer.

1633
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: His reputation as a pure hitter, he was undeniable, but

1634
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 1: he got called up in nineteen seventy three. His first

1635
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: forty two games, he was under two hundred for forty

1636
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 1: two games. Took a while to develop. In nineteen seventy four,

1637
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 1: they thought he was developing. He was a full time

1638
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 1: third baseman, started one hundred and thirty three games, he

1639
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:33,599
Speaker 1: batted two thirty six, and then he started to arrive

1640
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: after August of that season, after playing one hundred and

1641
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: sixty five games in a major league. In the final

1642
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 1: month of the season in nineteen seventy four, Brett hit

1643
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:46,960
Speaker 1: three thirty eight, twelve doubles in five triples, and then

1644
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: he became George Brett. His final career tally three zero

1645
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: five lifetime average and fifty four hits. Oh yeah, I

1646
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: won three batting titles A an MVP. You may have

1647
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 1: heard of a guy named Reggie Jackson long before he

1648
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 1: was through October. Reggie Jackson was a rookie. In his

1649
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: first one hundred and thirty five at bats for the

1650
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 1: Oakland A's may maybe might have even been to Kansas

1651
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 1: City a's.

1652
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 2: I gotta done.

1653
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty seven, he had a batting average of

1654
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,719
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy eight, and then those one hundred

1655
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 1: and thirty he had a batting average of one to

1656
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: seventy nine one hundred and seventy and wake up Bernie. Uh.

1657
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:29,720
Speaker 1: Not only that, in those one hundred and thirty five

1658
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:34,840
Speaker 1: at bats, he struck out about sixty times. Yeah, strackouts

1659
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 1: continued to be an issue, but Reggie Jackson eventually got

1660
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:41,639
Speaker 1: things rolling. Even in his first full season he hit

1661
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: two fifty, which may be respectable because he had home runs,

1662
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 1: but two fifty he is really not respectable in Major

1663
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 1: League Baseball? Is it cal Ripkan You all know about

1664
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 1: cal Ripken got called up at age twenty.

1665
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 2: A lot of.

1666
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:58,639
Speaker 1: A lot of expectations for cal Ripkin because his father,

1667
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 1: cal Rippan Senior, was a longtime coach for the team.

1668
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: But it started very rough for cal Ripkins first twenty

1669
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,559
Speaker 1: three Major League Baseball games, Ripken hit one twenty eight,

1670
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 1: no extra bates hits. But it all turned. I could

1671
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 1: go on and out. I could do the rest of

1672
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 1: the next three shows on Hall of Fame players. By

1673
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:20,120
Speaker 1: the way, every one of those players I just mentioned

1674
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: is in the Hall of Fame, every one of them.

1675
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 2: But they started slow.

1676
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: And you're gonna tell me after three or four games

1677
01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 1: you presume to know about Caitlin Clark, and I hear

1678
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 1: it in people's voices. They are so happy, they are

1679
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:37,240
Speaker 1: so happy that she's starting slowly again.

1680
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 2: Not gonnabit you. I'm not gonna convince you of anything.

1681
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you she's in good company because all

1682
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:48,000
Speaker 1: these other great players also had slow starts. That's what

1683
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 1: happens when you get a target on your back, that's

1684
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:54,720
Speaker 1: what It's not just her, but she seems to have

1685
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 1: a special badge for some reason. Now, look, only time

1686
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:02,559
Speaker 1: will tell I have no idea where she's gonna end

1687
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:06,400
Speaker 1: up in the NBA in terms of her lifetime legacy, statistically,

1688
01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 1: championship wise.

1689
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:08,639
Speaker 2: All those things.

1690
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:10,760
Speaker 1: She joined a bad team and they've had a very

1691
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: rough schedule to start things out, playing very good teams

1692
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 1: with very good offensive are very good defensive players, and

1693
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 1: they blitzer. Man, all you do is watch the game

1694
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 1: for Saturday night in Las Vegas. They blitzer her. And

1695
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 1: by the way, it's not just her, They're doing it

1696
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 1: to Angel Reese and Ricky Jackson the rest of them.

1697
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, all this young rookie class, a lot of

1698
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:31,120
Speaker 1: really really talented players.

1699
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:33,639
Speaker 2: Some are starting off better than others.

1700
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 1: But man, if you're gonna dog her after five games

1701
01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 1: or seven games, check yourself before you wreck yourself. You're

1702
01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: not impressed with me with that. Given a season, Let's

1703
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 1: see what one season says. But I just shared with

1704
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 1: you how some other players also had slow starts. I

1705
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 1: want to make this abundantly clear because people listen selectively.

1706
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: I am not necessarily predicting greatness for Caitlin Clark and

1707
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:02,400
Speaker 1: the WNBA. She can shoot, she can play, she's not overmatched.

1708
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:06,200
Speaker 1: She's got a brilliant transition game. She's a superb pastor.

1709
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 1: She's creating things for other teammates. Yeah, they're bring the turnovers.

1710
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:12,080
Speaker 1: People can't wait to tell us about that. I get it,

1711
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,680
Speaker 1: And you got to tell the whole story because she's

1712
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 1: got her pocket picked a lot so far.

1713
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 2: But she's in good company.

1714
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 1: I just ripped off the list of a bunch of

1715
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:26,760
Speaker 1: names that are all Hall of famers. They all got

1716
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: off the slow starts. It's no sin to get off

1717
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 1: to a slow start. Now they all ended up in

1718
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:33,640
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I'm not saying Caitlin Clark's going

1719
01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:35,160
Speaker 1: to be in the Hall of Fame, but I'm not

1720
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 1: saying she's not either. What I'm saying is, can we

1721
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:40,000
Speaker 1: all just back off just a little bit and let

1722
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 1: nature take its course. Can you really look in your

1723
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:45,760
Speaker 1: mirror and ask yourself why you lie and wait to

1724
01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 1: pick on Caitlin Clark so badly? Maybe you got a

1725
01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 1: really good reason, tell us, tell us share.

1726
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 2: It with me.

1727
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:55,559
Speaker 1: I'm an open minded guy, and I've always said the

1728
01:30:55,560 --> 01:31:00,760
Speaker 1: most boring conversations are when everybody agrees. But regardless, I

1729
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:03,520
Speaker 1: think it's a little too soon to draw any conclusions.

1730
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,600
Speaker 1: In much the same way it was to draw conclusions

1731
01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:11,320
Speaker 1: about the many star players that I talked about in

1732
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 1: the last eleven minutes coming up. So Shane went to

1733
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 1: Arizona State, Martin went to Michigan, and if you look

1734
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:24,400
Speaker 1: at their two schedules next year, they're intriguing, really good schedules,

1735
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:27,960
Speaker 1: playing in cities and teams that hadn't TIP particularly played

1736
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 1: the past. So the notion, as was intimated by former

1737
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 1: CBS president Neil Pilson, if we go down the road

1738
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 1: of paying players substantial sums, all would be lost. People

1739
01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:43,559
Speaker 1: will stop watching, public will lose interest if athletes are

1740
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:45,160
Speaker 1: compensated beyond their scholarships.

1741
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so.

1742
01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 1: You got three years of data that now confirms the

1743
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:53,519
Speaker 1: argument complete bogus. But I want to bring in Shane,

1744
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 1: bringing Martin, will bring in Mark Ramsey as well. I

1745
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:57,920
Speaker 1: think I know what the answer to the question is

1746
01:31:57,960 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 1: going to be. But I want to get their thoughts

1747
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:03,160
Speaker 1: and also get their thoughts on this NIL deal, which

1748
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:05,240
Speaker 1: was many, many years in coming. It's not excuse me,

1749
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:09,760
Speaker 1: it's not an NIL deal. It's a settlement house versus NCAA.

1750
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 1: It's been in court for years. Two point seventy five

1751
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 1: billion dollars in settlements money be paid out of our

1752
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: ten year period. As much as twenty million per school

1753
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 1: will be doled out among current and former athletes. I'm cool.

1754
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm cool.

1755
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 1: If you talk to people that are closer to this

1756
01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:29,480
Speaker 1: situation than I am. It's as Victor Hugo once said,

1757
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,719
Speaker 1: a thousand armies cannot stop an idea whose time has.

1758
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:33,880
Speaker 2: Come and it is here.

1759
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 1: Will the change your viewing habits ain't going to change mind.

1760
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:38,800
Speaker 2: We'll bring in the crew see what they think.

1761
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm Bernie fraddlew coming to your life from Las Vegas,

1762
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Tierract dot Com studios. Keep it locked

1763
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 1: right here. You're listening to the Bernie Fradles Show on

1764
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. All right back at the Bernie Frattle Show,

1765
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Coming to life from the Tiract dot

1766
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:56,680
Speaker 1: Com studios here in Lots of Vegas. I want to

1767
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,320
Speaker 1: start with Martin Weiss. Martin, I want to get your

1768
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 1: thoughts on that whole NCA settlement. But your Michigan Wolverines,

1769
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:07,559
Speaker 1: your National champion Michigan Wolverines. Yeah, they may start out

1770
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:09,479
Speaker 1: playing five games at home in the Big House, but

1771
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:12,519
Speaker 1: you got Texas USC coming in. Their first row game

1772
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,120
Speaker 1: is at Washington. They'll play the Oregon Decks in the

1773
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:20,080
Speaker 1: Big House. Fascinating schedule alongside the usual Big Ten suspects.

1774
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 1: Could you imagine not watching just because players are getting paid.

1775
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:26,679
Speaker 9: Now, Absolutely not. I will watch.

1776
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 8: I don't really care that players are getting paid, like

1777
01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 8: in the you know, in the concept of watching like

1778
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 8: I'm happy for them. I think that they should be

1779
01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:37,639
Speaker 8: getting paid, and I think it makes a lot more

1780
01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:40,360
Speaker 8: sense that they'd be getting paid directly by basically the

1781
01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:43,160
Speaker 8: university which employs them. I mean, when I was at

1782
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 8: the University of Michigan, I was a telemarketer for telefund

1783
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:49,080
Speaker 8: and I got paid by the university for doing that job,

1784
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 8: and I probably did not work as hard as the

1785
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 8: college football players did.

1786
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:55,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a fair point.

1787
01:33:56,080 --> 01:34:00,439
Speaker 1: You're you are essentially a representative of the university, and

1788
01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:06,559
Speaker 1: I think this deal over time is gonna be something

1789
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:08,360
Speaker 1: that will look back and people say, what didn't do

1790
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 1: it sooner?

1791
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:09,720
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that?

1792
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:13,760
Speaker 8: I think absolutely, Once people see that the sky in

1793
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 8: fact did not fall, you know, Humpty dumpty State on

1794
01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:20,400
Speaker 8: the wall, and you know, guess what, Michigan and Ohio

1795
01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 8: State still don't like each other.

1796
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:24,320
Speaker 9: I think that everybody.

1797
01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:27,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, once, you know, people are resistant to change in general,

1798
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,599
Speaker 8: but I think once they see that again everything is fine,

1799
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:33,120
Speaker 8: then you know, everything will be business as usual.

1800
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 1: Martin, you got to be of course again your defending

1801
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:41,479
Speaker 1: national championship championship team very well deserved. How excited are

1802
01:34:41,479 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 1: you for this schedule? I mean when you see the

1803
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:46,840
Speaker 1: likes of Texas and USC and Oregon in Washington all

1804
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 1: in the regular season, now, what are your thoughts about that?

1805
01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:54,800
Speaker 8: I missed the days where it was Northwestern in Indiana

1806
01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 8: on the way to national title trying.

1807
01:34:57,760 --> 01:34:59,960
Speaker 9: It's great to see all this. I'm not gonna lie.

1808
01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 8: It's gonna be awesome to see these big quote unquote

1809
01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:08,080
Speaker 8: regular season games. But it does not bode well I

1810
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,639
Speaker 8: think for you know, running the next college football dynasty,

1811
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 8: despite you know, losing the head coach and quarterback, which

1812
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 8: is probably a bigger deal than the schedule, but still.

1813
01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:20,360
Speaker 1: Fair And to your point, they still do play Indiana

1814
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 1: and Northwestern and Ohio State in Illinois and Minnesota and

1815
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:27,919
Speaker 1: actually open up against Fresno State in to play Arkansas

1816
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,679
Speaker 1: State week three Sandwich down there with the Texas game.

1817
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:34,160
Speaker 1: But I think in terms of college football being big business,

1818
01:35:34,200 --> 01:35:35,280
Speaker 1: these matchups.

1819
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 2: Are just so delicious, Martin.

1820
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean, who can forget the years USC Michigan and

1821
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:43,040
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl going at it all those years, Ricky

1822
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 1: leaves to Charles White, fantom fumble game, rookie Bill coming

1823
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:47,040
Speaker 1: in running.

1824
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:48,160
Speaker 2: For one hundred and thirty six yards.

1825
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 1: You remember Michigan playing Texas back in I think two

1826
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 1: thousand and five. They took they lost by one point.

1827
01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:59,080
Speaker 1: That was a vincion team in Oregon. I covered the

1828
01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 1: game in two thousand and seven when Oregon came in

1829
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:07,360
Speaker 1: and thumped yd. Remember Michigan lost to Appalachian State.

1830
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 2: Were you there?

1831
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 1: Were you there? Then?

1832
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:09,720
Speaker 2: I was not.

1833
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:12,599
Speaker 8: I was a senior in high school. Uh, thinking about

1834
01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:14,559
Speaker 8: where I was gonna go to college. But they ended

1835
01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 8: up with They lost Apple Achian State, then they lost

1836
01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 8: to Oregon the next weekend MS against.

1837
01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 1: Games, yep, that's right. And and for the record, they

1838
01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 1: beat Lloyd Carr in his final game. UH beat Florida

1839
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 1: and ten Tibo and Irvin Meyer, and they ended up

1840
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 1: they ended up writing themselves nicely. Now I'm with you.

1841
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 1: You're being honest here, being objective and pragmatic. It's gonna

1842
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:36,839
Speaker 1: be very hard to win the National championship game this year. However,

1843
01:36:37,240 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 1: with a new playoff format, I think they're gonna get

1844
01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 1: in the dance. You got your own more still got

1845
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: a lot of athletes coming back.

1846
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:43,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1847
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 9: I think that's really what it boils down to.

1848
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 8: If you're gonna be able to make it quote unquote

1849
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 8: easier to or I should say this, if there's gonna

1850
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:53,440
Speaker 8: be more and more opportunities to compete for a championship

1851
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:56,880
Speaker 8: in a in a more traditional professional playoff format that

1852
01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:59,639
Speaker 8: we're used to seeing this show. Let's have some some

1853
01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:01,760
Speaker 8: some game in the regular season that you know, we'll

1854
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:05,799
Speaker 8: have a little that you wouldn't mind losing quote unquote

1855
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:08,280
Speaker 8: as opposed to just knowing that the thing that we

1856
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 8: used to know was true about college football back in

1857
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:13,680
Speaker 8: those days of the Applastias State versus Michigan, Dave, if

1858
01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:17,120
Speaker 8: you lose that game Week one, your chances that a

1859
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:18,439
Speaker 8: title are over with.

1860
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:21,360
Speaker 9: Now that they're going to expand the playoff, I think

1861
01:37:21,439 --> 01:37:21,760
Speaker 9: you can.

1862
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 8: It'll it'll allow for more creative regular season scheduling, and I.

1863
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:28,400
Speaker 1: Think that's a good thing. I do our good stuff, Martin.

1864
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:31,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk to our guy Shay, who's in Arizona State.

1865
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:34,000
Speaker 1: Some devil Alum and shade. You know, back in nineteen

1866
01:37:34,040 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: eighty seven, I saw Arizona State beating Michigan in.

1867
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:36,800
Speaker 2: The Rose Bowl.

1868
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 1: That was a John Cooper coach team. And then that's

1869
01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:42,000
Speaker 1: not forgetting the mid nineties lock An Orange with Jake

1870
01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:44,840
Speaker 1: and Snake Plumber and almost beating Ohio State and what

1871
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 1: could have been, you know, led to a national championship.

1872
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:47,599
Speaker 2: It didn't.

1873
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:53,560
Speaker 1: But you look at Arizona State schedule, Mississippi State, Texas Tech, Kansas, Cincinnati,

1874
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:58,640
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, Kansas State, even BYU and Central Florida, a

1875
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:02,400
Speaker 1: kind of a provocative schedule, going to places they typically

1876
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 1: don't go, like Stillwater, Oklahoma or Love but Texas. Can

1877
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 1: you imagine not watching those games just because players are

1878
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:09,000
Speaker 1: getting paid.

1879
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:10,400
Speaker 9: Not at all.

1880
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:12,760
Speaker 11: To be honest, I'm gonna give you two takes, not

1881
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:14,640
Speaker 11: two takes, but two point of views. One as an

1882
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:16,519
Speaker 11: Arizona State fan and then one is just a college

1883
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 11: sports fan Arizona State. I used to write for Arizona

1884
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:23,040
Speaker 11: State as well, and we've been going through a lot

1885
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,479
Speaker 11: of controversies and this is something that's just a welcome,

1886
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:27,680
Speaker 11: the breath of fresh air. It's almost a restart for

1887
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:29,720
Speaker 11: us you know what I mean, We've had so much

1888
01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 11: controversies or with our coach leaving and then or getting

1889
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 11: fired basically, and then our QB leaves and then the

1890
01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:39,200
Speaker 11: next year he ends up becoming the Heisman Trophy winner.

1891
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:41,600
Speaker 11: So it's like we've had a lot of things to

1892
01:38:41,680 --> 01:38:44,720
Speaker 11: make us upset. So it's like the fact that we

1893
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:47,639
Speaker 11: get to watch it and just see new teams and

1894
01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:50,519
Speaker 11: we're on the right path now, it really makes no

1895
01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 11: sense to me to be upset as an Arizona State fan.

1896
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 11: I mean, we still get to see the Arizona State

1897
01:38:55,560 --> 01:38:59,479
Speaker 11: versus the Wildcats, like it's still something that I'm very

1898
01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:01,680
Speaker 11: excited for, or we still like, as Martin said, he

1899
01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 11: still has his Ohio rivalry going on. There's no reason

1900
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:08,760
Speaker 11: why people should be upset, and they're getting paid. I

1901
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 11: get that, But it's just gonna give more personality to players.

1902
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:13,880
Speaker 11: It's going to give more reasons that we're going to

1903
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 11: see them and enjoy them and like them. Like if anything,

1904
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 11: a lot of these college players are going unknown because

1905
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:21,559
Speaker 11: they either don't have the means to go out and

1906
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 11: be seen, or they don't have ads, they don't have money,

1907
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 11: it doesn't matter.

1908
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:26,400
Speaker 9: They're just they're part of the college.

1909
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:28,559
Speaker 11: Now that they're individuals, I think it's going to add

1910
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 11: in a completely different aspect to it because more people

1911
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:34,960
Speaker 11: are going to start liking the players and not just

1912
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:36,719
Speaker 11: the teams. And I'm really excited to see that because

1913
01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 11: people are going to be following these players into the NFL.

1914
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:40,680
Speaker 11: So I think that's gonna be something that's really cool,

1915
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 11: especially because their personalities are going to be a lot

1916
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:48,360
Speaker 11: more seen just because of their uh there, they're they're

1917
01:39:48,360 --> 01:39:49,320
Speaker 11: now getting.

1918
01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:51,599
Speaker 9: Paid visibility exactly exactly.

1919
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:55,679
Speaker 1: So it's interesting because it's never really been to this degree.

1920
01:39:56,000 --> 01:40:03,679
Speaker 1: Uh the money flowing into college football, in particular because

1921
01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:07,599
Speaker 1: of all the lucrative TV deals is astronomical. It's never

1922
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:11,840
Speaker 1: truly been this way, So why hoard it? Why hoard it?

1923
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:14,599
Speaker 1: I think it's an idea whose time has come. Hopefully

1924
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,240
Speaker 1: they can manage it and they can put some guardrails

1925
01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:19,559
Speaker 1: on it, and they can bring it more into line.

1926
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:20,639
Speaker 2: It's supposed to this.

1927
01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:23,000
Speaker 1: Wild West nil pay for play thing was never meant

1928
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 1: to be that way.

1929
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:24,720
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be.

1930
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 1: Listen, you have a name, people know you, you sell tickets.

1931
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 1: Let's allow you to take advantage of your name and

1932
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 1: in your image and your likeness, and so therefore as

1933
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:39,880
Speaker 1: a brand, you can be duly compensated. But it turned

1934
01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:41,960
Speaker 1: into pay for play. This is a different ballgame. Now,

1935
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:46,639
Speaker 1: this isn't necessarily nil. What this is is recompense. It's

1936
01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:50,000
Speaker 1: a settlement going back eight years for players who lost

1937
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:53,559
Speaker 1: out on things like nil opportunities. And again the kitty

1938
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 1: will be just under three billion dollars. It'll be as

1939
01:40:56,040 --> 01:40:58,839
Speaker 1: much as twenty million per school, and they can distribute

1940
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:02,920
Speaker 1: it to their athletes the way they see it. Mark Ramsey,

1941
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:03,840
Speaker 1: you got the last word on this.

1942
01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 2: Do you have any thoughts?

1943
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:07,880
Speaker 3: Not really, I guess the only thing I guess it's

1944
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:11,719
Speaker 3: just like one sliver of a thought that maybe people

1945
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 3: wouldn't like it. I know the view of it is

1946
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:19,439
Speaker 3: changing because now a player can make money because their

1947
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 3: school is making money. But the idea of a twenty

1948
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:26,479
Speaker 3: year old or eighteen year old coming in to be

1949
01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:30,920
Speaker 3: this player on a team for a particular school, the

1950
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:33,519
Speaker 3: newness of it that they were a kid and now

1951
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:38,839
Speaker 3: they're immediately thrust into being an employee versus a student

1952
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 3: and the whole student athlete, that whole slicing that whole

1953
01:41:43,040 --> 01:41:45,599
Speaker 3: thing up and now they get paid to be there

1954
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 3: versus they're going to you know, play a sport and

1955
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:53,000
Speaker 3: learn something from a great college. So that's just the

1956
01:41:53,080 --> 01:41:55,960
Speaker 3: only slight thing that I'm listening. But I'm glad that

1957
01:41:57,400 --> 01:42:01,800
Speaker 3: the colleges that make so much money to TV or

1958
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 3: whatever money that their team generates, they get paid.

1959
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:06,679
Speaker 9: That's a good thing.

1960
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 3: But there's this slice, it really thin about what a

1961
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 3: student athlete used to be versus now there's straight to

1962
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:15,639
Speaker 3: being an employee.

1963
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,120
Speaker 1: Essentially, And I think there could be some law of

1964
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:22,640
Speaker 1: unattended consequences. There could be tax implications, there could be

1965
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:25,320
Speaker 1: some things, but I think it needs to again let's

1966
01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 1: play itself out. I want to take a long term,

1967
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:31,559
Speaker 1: big picture of you of this. There are a lot

1968
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:36,559
Speaker 1: of people around the college scene that are very bright,

1969
01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:40,840
Speaker 1: very accomplished. They have very positive thoughts about this as

1970
01:42:40,840 --> 01:42:43,960
Speaker 1: an idea whose time it's come. So let's see. Let's

1971
01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:45,720
Speaker 1: see how it ferrets out. They've won the courts of

1972
01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 1: law fair and square, and that's how we work in

1973
01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:52,439
Speaker 1: this country. Coming up. You know, I have been critical

1974
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:54,519
Speaker 1: of Justin Fields, but that doesn't mean I don't like

1975
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:58,040
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. I've thought he's been a class act during

1976
01:42:58,040 --> 01:43:00,920
Speaker 1: his tenure in Chicago. I thought he's been a class

1977
01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:05,919
Speaker 1: act while at Ohio State, as I have observed his demeanor.

1978
01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:08,439
Speaker 2: I like the way he carries himself.

1979
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 1: But now there are some weird reports that have come

1980
01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:19,200
Speaker 1: out regarding that Fields didn't necessarily get along with one

1981
01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 1: of his former teammates, a former Super Bowl MVP, and

1982
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl MVP actually fired back.

1983
01:43:25,640 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 2: Let's talk about this a little bit.

1984
01:43:27,320 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 1: I find it a little bit surprising, but nonetheless it's

1985
01:43:30,120 --> 01:43:33,479
Speaker 1: part it's out there in the ether. But first, let's

1986
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:35,080
Speaker 1: go back to a guy, the hardest working man in

1987

Speaker 8: throughout the game. Tyrese Halibert and missed Game three with

1994
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:58,200
Speaker 8: a sore hamstring. There's no word yet on his status

1995
01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:02,040
Speaker 8: for Game four. NHL West Conference Finals, Dallas beat Edmonton

01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:54,040

Speaker 8: LA Sparks.

2019
01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 9: Bernie back to.

2020
01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:12,479
Speaker 2: You, all right, thanks Martin.

2021
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 1: All right, So look, I have to be objective about this.

2022
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:20,960
Speaker 1: There were the facts of the facts and Justin Feel's

2023
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:23,600
Speaker 1: tenure in Chicago he was ten and twenty eight is

2024
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 1: a starter, which ranked thirty fourth among all quarterbacks who

2025
01:45:27,439 --> 01:45:31,800
Speaker 1: started games during that tenure. His QBR was forty six,

2026
01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:34,320
Speaker 1: that ranked twenty eighth. He only averaged one hundred and

2027
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:37,040
Speaker 1: sixty seven passing yards a game that ranked thirty sixth.

2028
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:40,759
Speaker 1: His completion percentage was right at sixty percent that ranked

2029
01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:45,639
Speaker 1: thirty fourth. His touchdown to interception ratio forty touchdowns thirty

2030
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 1: interceptions ranked thirty first. He is default mechanism is to run.

2031
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 1: He's not a pocket quarterback. If at this point something

2032
01:45:55,520 --> 01:45:57,599
Speaker 1: dramatically changes, I think.

2033
01:45:57,439 --> 01:46:00,839
Speaker 2: It'll be a miracle. But I've always liked Justin Fields.

2034
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:03,280
Speaker 1: I thought he came into camp with the Bears with

2035
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:08,000
Speaker 1: a good head on his shoulders. He responded well to

2036
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:13,240
Speaker 1: certain issues. He kept his demeanor, played through injuries, seemed

2037
01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:15,680
Speaker 1: to go about his job, and a work with like

2038
01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 1: manner from what I could see, But I'm not connected

2039
01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:20,719
Speaker 1: to the Bears at all. But now with Justin Fields

2040
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:24,000
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, what's the question people are asking you. It'll

2041
01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:26,560
Speaker 1: be interesting to see if he gets along with Russell Wilson.

2042
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:31,720
Speaker 1: Now why are they asking that question? Because reports have

2043
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:35,920
Speaker 1: seeped out that he did not get along with another

2044
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:37,719
Speaker 1: Super Bowl winning quarterback that he used.

2045
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:38,200
Speaker 2: To play with.

2046
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:41,240
Speaker 1: Now, remember, let's go back three years in Chicago, his

2047
01:46:41,320 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 1: rookie season in Chicago, the Bears had three quarterbacks on

2048
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 1: the roster. With Justin Fields, Andy Dalton, and Or there

2049
01:46:51,160 --> 01:47:00,200
Speaker 1: was a total of three quarterbacks on the roster Nick Foles,

2050
01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 1: of course Justin Fields right well. According to a gentleman

2051
01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 1: who writes for some publication called Golong, the relationship between

2052
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:14,040
Speaker 1: Justin Fields and the other two quarterbacks was quote toxic

2053
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:18,040
Speaker 1: as hell, with most of the animosity coming between Fields

2054
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:21,040
Speaker 1: and Foals. The report went on to say that the

2055
01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:25,919
Speaker 1: relationship between Nick Foles and Justin Fields basically reached rock bottom. Apparently,

2056
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:28,760
Speaker 1: there was one particular day in the meeting room when

2057
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:30,840
Speaker 1: Nick Foles was trying to teach something, only to turn

2058
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:35,560
Speaker 1: around and realize Fields wasn't paying attention the fact he

2059
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:38,920
Speaker 1: was texting, and they admitted they too could not stand

2060
01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:42,120
Speaker 1: each other. Now that that report came from an anonymous source,

2061
01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 1: but it also was somewhat confirmed by a gentleman named

2062
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:50,080
Speaker 1: Josh Lucas, who happens to be the Bariss former director

2063
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:53,240
Speaker 1: of player Personnel, and Lucas seemed to admit that Fields

2064
01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:54,519
Speaker 1: really did not get along with.

2065
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:55,519
Speaker 2: Foles and Dalton.

2066
01:47:56,280 --> 01:48:01,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, just saying, and the thought was the

2067
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:04,840
Speaker 1: Bear's thought was having two vets with him would really

2068
01:48:04,880 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 1: help him because Andy and Nick well they at least

2069
01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:09,840
Speaker 1: have a lot of starts under the bell. Right, one's

2070
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:12,360
Speaker 1: going to Super Bowl champion and Andy Dalton's doing for

2071
01:48:12,400 --> 01:48:15,680
Speaker 1: over fifty thousand yards. But apparently there was no cohesion.

2072
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 1: All right, get to twenty twenty one. Basically the Fields

2073
01:48:20,320 --> 01:48:22,439
Speaker 1: has the job. I mean, look, the man got thirty

2074
01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 1: eight starts. Thirty eight starts, that's a lot. I don't

2075
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:28,840
Speaker 1: know what happened in terms of the relationship, and I

2076
01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:33,759
Speaker 1: never will. But see here's here's where it takes a turn.

2077
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:38,040
Speaker 1: And by the way, even though they're not teammates anymore,

2078
01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:39,920
Speaker 1: and this is where I think justin Fields his classic.

2079
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:42,479
Speaker 1: When he was asked about it, he spoke positively about

2080
01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:43,599
Speaker 1: his relationship with Dalton.

2081
01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:45,080
Speaker 2: So maybe it just didn't.

2082
01:48:44,840 --> 01:48:49,400
Speaker 1: Get along with Foles, and Field's always said that, you know,

2083
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the bigger picture, there was some confusion,

2084
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 1: but Dalton, he Field said, Dalton was always good to me.

2085
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 1: His situation we were in it was I think, you know,

2086
01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:02,240
Speaker 1: there was a lot of pressure there, but they were

2087
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:07,360
Speaker 1: always cordial. So let's fast forward. Justin Fields is expected

2088
01:49:07,400 --> 01:49:11,080
Speaker 1: to be the backup in Pittsburgh, but he says he

2089
01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:15,479
Speaker 1: is competing for the job, and I think the truth

2090
01:49:15,520 --> 01:49:18,320
Speaker 1: will come out now, but I'm having a hard time believing.

2091
01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you get around big time athletes get

2092
01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:26,759
Speaker 1: tempers can flare, people have personalities. I don't know the story,

2093
01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:30,479
Speaker 1: I'll never know the story, but Fields is getting a

2094
01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:32,719
Speaker 1: second bite of the apple. I think with a good organization.

2095
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:34,760
Speaker 1: And I may be one of the few people out there,

2096
01:49:35,160 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 1: but I'm sticking to my guns. I might be one

2097
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 1: of the few people out there, but I honestly think

2098
01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:44,080
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson's gonna have success in Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh's

2099
01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna be back in the playoffs. And I think Mike

2100
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:51,719
Speaker 1: Tomlin will be an excellent source. I think a calming

2101
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:55,400
Speaker 1: sort of a stabilizing figure, as it were. And if

2102
01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:57,320
Speaker 1: he goes, you know, Pittsburgh's going to be a run

2103
01:49:57,360 --> 01:50:01,599
Speaker 1: heavy offense and you don't have He's Russell Wilson will

2104
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 1: not be called upon to put a team on his

2105
01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:06,200
Speaker 1: back like he maybe had to back in the day

2106
01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:07,000
Speaker 1: at times.

2107
01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:07,120
Speaker 2: And he did.

2108
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:09,280
Speaker 1: He got to sue Super Bowls. He could have easily

2109
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 1: won the second one. You all know what happened with

2110
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:15,040
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. So the question is what is justin feels

2111
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 1: fit in if if Russell Wilson falters or of God forbid,

2112
01:50:21,520 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson gets hurt, Russell Wilson for not for nothing.

2113
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 1: Based on salary cap hit is the third highest quarterback

2114
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 1: paid quarterback of the National Football League fifty three million

2115
01:50:37,360 --> 01:50:43,600
Speaker 1: dollars based on salary cap hit. Now Pittsburgh got it

2116
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:46,720
Speaker 1: for a song, right, we all know that. But he's

2117
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 1: in fast company. Deshaun Watson. In case you're scoring at home,

2118
01:50:50,160 --> 01:50:54,960
Speaker 1: hopefully they are maybe with a massage therapist. Deshaun Watson

2119
01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 1: sixty three point eight million salary cap hit. Dak Prescott

2120
01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:01,639
Speaker 1: fifty five point one million capit used the highest paid

2121
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:05,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks based on cappits Stafford Matt Stafford forty nine point

2122
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 1: five million, Kyler Murray forty nine point one million, Daniel

2123
01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:12,920
Speaker 1: Jones forty eight million, Patrick Maholmes down to thirty seven million,

2124
01:51:13,280 --> 01:51:16,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson thirty two million, Josh Allen thirty two million,

2125
01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow twenty nine million. So where does this go?

2126
01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 1: Time will tell you.

2127
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:25,720
Speaker 2: You just don't know.

2128
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:31,679
Speaker 1: Coming up, another NFL player is kind of hot water.

2129
01:51:32,479 --> 01:51:35,400
Speaker 1: This This threw me for a loop as well. This

2130
01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:39,880
Speaker 1: is a dude who recently filed bankruptcy. It didn'tn't well.

2131
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:41,640
Speaker 2: For him in the NFL, didn't known well for him

2132
01:51:41,640 --> 01:51:42,240
Speaker 2: on the Raiders.

2133
01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, this poor guy, just a nice kid out of

2134
01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:50,920
Speaker 1: Central Michigan who actually physically one of the greatest gifted

2135
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:54,400
Speaker 1: receivers in athletes in the NFL, never should have left

2136
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:56,559
Speaker 1: the Steelers. He's only thirty five, and if he just

2137
01:51:56,640 --> 01:51:59,080
Speaker 1: kept his head screwed on straight, I think he could

2138
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:02,120
Speaker 1: still be playing in the You've probably figured out the

2139
01:52:02,200 --> 01:52:05,040
Speaker 1: name by now, but I'll.

Speaker 1: Comedy Lifter Tarareck dot Com Studios here in Las Vegas.

2146
01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:22,679
Speaker 1: Coming up twelve minutes top of the hour, the brand

2147
01:52:22,680 --> 01:52:25,439
Speaker 1: a brand new dance sensation sweep in the Nation. What

2148
01:52:25,560 --> 01:52:27,600
Speaker 1: kind of brand new fool of you? Followed by what

2149
01:52:27,880 --> 01:52:28,320
Speaker 1: my name?

2150
01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:28,599
Speaker 6: All right?

2151
01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:30,639
Speaker 1: I want to bring in Martin Shay real quickly because

2152
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:34,200
Speaker 1: here's why you're starting to see reports leak out now

2153
01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:41,920
Speaker 1: that there are respected NFL I wouldn't call them necessarily reporters,

2154
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:44,559
Speaker 1: but certainly and lists including Matt Hassell back former NFL

2155
01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:47,760
Speaker 1: quarterback who thinks there's going to be some quarterback controversy

2156
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:50,639
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, that Russell Wilson have a short leash because

2157
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:52,840
Speaker 1: he has no real financial anchor with the Steelers, so

2158
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 1: if it's not going well, they not only not have

2159
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:57,200
Speaker 1: to pay him, they could cut him. And from the

2160
01:52:57,240 --> 01:52:59,960
Speaker 1: standpoint of justin fields fifty your option not being picked up,

2161
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:02,920
Speaker 1: he's playing for his next contract, so maybe he catches

2162
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:03,719
Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle.

2163
01:53:03,760 --> 01:53:05,479
Speaker 2: So start with you Martin.

2164
01:53:05,479 --> 01:53:08,120
Speaker 1: Who do you expect to win the job, And let's

2165
01:53:08,160 --> 01:53:11,559
Speaker 1: say Russell Wilson wins the job, do you expect him

2166
01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:13,519
Speaker 1: to keep it all year? Do you expect Justin Fields

2167
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 1: to be in there at some point? What are your thoughts?

2168
01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:19,439
Speaker 8: I expect day one, week one, I expect Russell Wilson

2169
01:53:19,479 --> 01:53:23,280
Speaker 8: to be the starter. But eventually I think that we

2170
01:53:23,320 --> 01:53:26,600
Speaker 8: will see Justin Fields finished the year for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

2171
01:53:27,040 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 8: As I mean, first of all, what we see some

2172
01:53:29,200 --> 01:53:31,080
Speaker 8: sixty backup quarterbacks take.

2173
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:32,640
Speaker 9: Snaps in the NFL.

2174
01:53:32,320 --> 01:53:35,280
Speaker 1: Last year, so yep, yep, injuries yep.

2175
01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:38,320
Speaker 8: So that'll primarily becomes of injury, so I think. But

2176
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:41,439
Speaker 8: I think once Justin Fields gets on the field, no

2177
01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:44,360
Speaker 8: pun intended, if you could even consider that, I think

2178
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:47,160
Speaker 8: you'll see Justin Fields be just more dynamic as a

2179
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:48,400
Speaker 8: player than Russell Wilson.

2180
01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:49,439
Speaker 9: And I think you maybe with.

2181
01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:52,559
Speaker 8: Russ, I think there's a pretty low ceiling there and

2182
01:53:52,600 --> 01:53:56,799
Speaker 8: where with Justin Fields, while necessarily hasn't shown and wins

2183
01:53:56,800 --> 01:53:59,160
Speaker 8: and losses, this is athleticism and the youth and then

2184
01:53:59,200 --> 01:54:02,920
Speaker 8: again money like Dustin Fields making three times what Russell

2185
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 8: Wilson is making this this upcoming season, well, what you.

2186
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:13,720
Speaker 1: Layout could happen. I don't know, it's entirely possible. Pittsburgh's

2187
01:54:13,760 --> 01:54:19,000
Speaker 1: got themselves, you know, a somewhat enviable situation as long

2188
01:54:19,040 --> 01:54:20,800
Speaker 1: as one of the two works out. But it's a

2189
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 1: bit of an insurance policy, as it were. Well, you know,

2190
01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:25,519
Speaker 1: what you layout could happen. And to your point, there

2191
01:54:25,520 --> 01:54:28,120
Speaker 1: were north of sixty quarterbacks that took snaps last year,

2192
01:54:28,479 --> 01:54:31,160
Speaker 1: partly because of injury. But what is Russell Wilson now

2193
01:54:31,200 --> 01:54:36,400
Speaker 1: thirty six, thirty seven years old? Yeah, age, okay, fair

2194
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:39,360
Speaker 1: enough football, Bernie, Well you can, you might, you might

2195
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:41,000
Speaker 1: take some snaps for the Steelers this year.

2196
01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 2: You know, don't say.

2197
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: Yourself short, Martin, Martin short short, but never will never mind,

2198
01:54:45,600 --> 01:54:49,080
Speaker 1: forget that. Let's go with Shaye Morgan guard share your

2199
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:49,800
Speaker 1: thoughts in the matter.

2200
01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:52,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, honestly, I was pretty surprised because I thought Justin

2201
01:54:52,800 --> 01:54:55,440
Speaker 11: Fields was going to be under someone with kind of

2202
01:54:55,720 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 11: he wouldn't have any opportunity to play, He would be

2203
01:54:58,240 --> 01:54:58,880
Speaker 11: a backup for.

2204
01:54:58,840 --> 01:54:59,400
Speaker 9: The whole year.

2205
01:54:59,520 --> 01:55:01,800
Speaker 11: So when I saw this news, I was kind of

2206
01:55:02,080 --> 01:55:05,200
Speaker 11: almost excited for it, just because if you think about it,

2207
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:08,160
Speaker 11: Russell Wilson never had a backup quarterback that really threatened him.

2208
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:11,160
Speaker 11: Jared's did him. There was never really anyone that like

2209
01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:14,480
Speaker 11: he was like, oh, like I'm gonna get benched, Like,

2210
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:16,320
Speaker 11: there's no way I'm gonna get benched for this guy,

2211
01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 11: you know what I mean. So I don't know if

2212
01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 11: necessarily Russell Wilson, because now that he has this, I

2213
01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:23,280
Speaker 11: think we'll see kind of a different.

2214
01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:24,080
Speaker 9: Side of Russell Wilson.

2215
01:55:24,560 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 11: I don't think he'll be helping justin Fields as much

2216
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:30,120
Speaker 11: as he would have if he didn't like have this

2217
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:34,200
Speaker 11: opportunity where he would lose his position. But I'm excited

2218
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:36,080
Speaker 11: to see it. I really don't know what's gonna happen,

2219
01:55:36,200 --> 01:55:38,840
Speaker 11: just because I think the relationship is going to be

2220
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 11: so weird. And the biggest thing for Fields was having

2221
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:44,000
Speaker 11: that quarterback that was more experienced that could help him.

2222
01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:46,480
Speaker 11: But in this scenario, I don't see Russell Wilson helping

2223
01:55:46,560 --> 01:55:48,720
Speaker 11: him as much because he wants his spot, you know

2224
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:50,320
Speaker 11: what I mean. He wants to be the starter. So

2225
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:53,680
Speaker 11: I'm excited to see what happens here. And I don't know,

2226
01:55:54,080 --> 01:55:56,240
Speaker 11: let's see what happens with Fields. To be honest, it

2227
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:57,040
Speaker 11: could be both of them.

2228
01:55:57,400 --> 01:55:59,560
Speaker 1: Well, they're both with a good culture, with a great

2229
01:55:59,600 --> 01:56:02,840
Speaker 1: coach Mike Tomlin, and I think a playoff ready team

2230
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:06,400
Speaker 1: with an above average defense. So again, it's another one

2231
01:56:06,440 --> 01:56:10,040
Speaker 1: of the many storylines we'll be watching this year, and

2232
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:13,800
Speaker 1: just about any scenario is on the table. I'm gonna

2233
01:56:13,800 --> 01:56:15,879
Speaker 1: go on the record and say I think Russell Wilson's

2234
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:19,040
Speaker 1: going to have a decent year. I just feel like

2235
01:56:19,600 --> 01:56:22,360
Speaker 1: he will. But look, there's no guarantee. We have to

2236
01:56:22,360 --> 01:56:26,360
Speaker 1: see how it plays out. Another storyline that's taken a

2237
01:56:26,360 --> 01:56:31,720
Speaker 1: weird turn. You may remember Antonio Brown. He was not

2238
01:56:31,840 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 1: just a former receiver in the NFL. He was a

2239
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:37,960
Speaker 1: former Pro Bowl wide receiver. If he saw him, even

2240
01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:41,520
Speaker 1: in his last year at Pittsburgh, absolutely electric. He sat

2241
01:56:41,560 --> 01:56:43,080
Speaker 1: down with the roon and he's wanted to leave. He's

2242
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:45,680
Speaker 1: in dire straits financially, according to a filing in Federal

2243
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:46,800
Speaker 1: Bankruptcy Board.

2244
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:50,200
Speaker 2: Federal bankrupt Reps Corp. Excuse me.

2245
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 1: According to the filing, which is a public record, Brown

2246
01:56:53,800 --> 01:56:56,120
Speaker 1: claims to owe nearly three million to at least eight

2247
01:56:56,200 --> 01:57:01,280
Speaker 1: creditors by saying he only has fifty thousand are less

2248
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:05,560
Speaker 1: in assets. Oh my goodness, now things have started to

2249
01:57:05,600 --> 01:57:08,120
Speaker 1: pile up he's had a bunch of legal problems. It

2250
01:57:08,200 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 1: all really took a big turn. In twenty twenty two,

2251
01:57:10,640 --> 01:57:12,840
Speaker 1: he was ordered to pay one point two million dollars

2252
01:57:12,920 --> 01:57:16,120
Speaker 1: in damages to a truck driver that he allegedly assaulted,

2253
01:57:16,520 --> 01:57:18,240
Speaker 1: which is claimed as one of his debts and his

2254
01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:22,640
Speaker 1: new filings. There's also multiple instances of creditors who say

2255
01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:26,120
Speaker 1: they were not paid for services they performed for Brown,

2256
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:29,520
Speaker 1: and he has at least three judgments against him that

2257
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:33,440
Speaker 1: are north to six figures in civil cases. Again, I

2258
01:57:33,440 --> 01:57:39,400
Speaker 1: said earlier, Antonio Brown, He's only thirty five years old,

2259
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:42,760
Speaker 1: you know. After that weirdness with the Raiders and his

2260
01:57:42,880 --> 01:57:45,880
Speaker 1: feet freezing off and trying twenty different helmets and just

2261
01:57:45,920 --> 01:57:48,280
Speaker 1: being a complete load in the shorts, he hasn't played

2262
01:57:48,280 --> 01:57:51,040
Speaker 1: in the league in twenty twenty one and his career ended,

2263
01:57:51,040 --> 01:57:53,520
Speaker 1: as you remember famously when he stormed off the field

2264
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:55,440
Speaker 1: in the middle of the game while playing for the

2265
01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:58,879
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, took a shirt off through it and stands.

2266
01:58:00,360 --> 01:58:00,560
Speaker 6: You know.

2267
01:58:00,720 --> 01:58:04,400
Speaker 1: Since then, there's been one legal issue after another, the

2268
01:58:04,520 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 1: arrest over unpaid child support. He gets in these social

2269
01:58:08,320 --> 01:58:11,840
Speaker 1: media beefs with people that are incredibly weird He even

2270
01:58:11,880 --> 01:58:15,200
Speaker 1: purchased an arena football team, remember that, and of course

2271
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:20,000
Speaker 1: that didn't end out well either. Here's the kicker you're

2272
01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:24,600
Speaker 1: sitting down. Antonio Brown earned roughly eighty million dollars in

2273
01:58:24,640 --> 01:58:27,360
Speaker 1: the course of his career. He's got assets of fifty

2274
01:58:27,400 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 1: thousand and debts a three million. I don't see that

2275
01:58:30,600 --> 01:58:31,160
Speaker 1: to be funny.

2276
01:58:31,200 --> 01:58:33,560
Speaker 2: This is not funny. Coming up you.

2277
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:35,920

01:59:14,240 --> 01:59:17,120
Speaker 1: by watching, and we do that here our staff.

2290
01:59:17,200 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 2: We do that.

2291
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:21,840
Speaker 1: See because around this great land of ours, well people

2292
01:59:21,920 --> 01:59:24,320
Speaker 1: do things on a daily basis twenty four to seven,

2293
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:28,600
Speaker 1: three sixty five, and sometimes these things and it's not

2294
01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 1: just the United States, it's around the world. Sometimes these events,

2295
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:35,120
Speaker 1: well they're just innocuous and silly and stupid and using

2296
01:59:35,120 --> 01:59:37,560
Speaker 1: bad judgment. Other times it can be far more serious,

2297
01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:43,760
Speaker 1: and many times you can even involved breaking the law. However,

2298
01:59:44,280 --> 01:59:47,200
Speaker 1: no matter how you characterize it, no matter how you

2299
01:59:47,920 --> 01:59:52,880
Speaker 1: describe it, no matter how you lay it out, these

2300
01:59:52,920 --> 01:59:56,760
Speaker 1: behaviors they always leave us scratching our head and asking ourselves,

2301
01:59:57,160 --> 02:00:01,440
Speaker 1: what kind of brand new fool of you? So I'm

2302
02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:07,800
Speaker 1: told that the TSA had its busiest day ever Friday ever,

2303
02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:11,480
Speaker 1: clearing two point nine to five million passengers in one

2304
02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:14,800
Speaker 1: day through various airports. And for my money, I think

2305
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:17,120
Speaker 1: the TSA does a really good job. I mean, you

2306
02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:19,240
Speaker 1: consider the amount of people going through there and what

2307
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:21,320
Speaker 1: they have to do to keep things safe, you do

2308
02:00:21,360 --> 02:00:25,160
Speaker 1: a good job. However, they are the subject matter in

2309
02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:29,360
Speaker 1: tonight's what kind of brand new FOOLU? Ladies and gentlemen.

2310
02:00:29,400 --> 02:00:33,160
Speaker 1: I'd like you to meet Tealina Collier of Winterhaven, Florida.

2311
02:00:33,800 --> 02:00:39,040
Speaker 1: She is a TSA officer who works at Tampa International Airport. Well,

2312
02:00:39,160 --> 02:00:42,400
Speaker 1: she got into trouble with the law recently, and I'll

2313
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:46,480
Speaker 1: tell you what she did. Apparently, Taleda has an issue

2314
02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:50,840
Speaker 1: with with being on time, and recently she was late

2315
02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:57,200
Speaker 1: to work and in doing so, apparently she'd already been

2316
02:00:57,400 --> 02:01:01,120
Speaker 1: already on what they call the TA SAY Employee Improvement

2317
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:05,680
Speaker 1: Plan for excessive tardiness. But Collier called the TSA telecommunications

2318
02:01:05,720 --> 02:01:07,280
Speaker 1: office and said she's going to be late to work

2319
02:01:07,680 --> 02:01:10,920
Speaker 1: because a knife wielding man tried to burglarize her parents' vehicle.

2320
02:01:11,440 --> 02:01:16,600
Speaker 1: According to deputies, well here's where the story falls to

2321
02:01:16,680 --> 02:01:18,520
Speaker 1: the ground, as he used to say in Monty Python.

2322
02:01:19,680 --> 02:01:22,320
Speaker 1: When her supervisor asked for a case number or a

2323
02:01:22,320 --> 02:01:26,280
Speaker 1: business card from investigators, Collier said she was not given either.

2324
02:01:26,800 --> 02:01:28,720
Speaker 1: She was then asked to get a burglary report from

2325
02:01:28,720 --> 02:01:32,160
Speaker 1: a sheriff's office and give it to her supervisor. So

2326
02:01:32,200 --> 02:01:35,720
Speaker 1: the sheriff's office said Collier texted her supervisor a document

2327
02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:38,760
Speaker 1: that looked like a police report, but she was ordered

2328
02:01:38,760 --> 02:01:42,440
Speaker 1: to send the actual copy instead of the picture. Kayer

2329
02:01:42,560 --> 02:01:45,720
Speaker 1: never produced a copy because it didn't exist, and there

2330
02:01:45,760 --> 02:01:50,560
Speaker 1: was an arrest report. Collier's supervisor told the police department

2331
02:01:50,880 --> 02:01:53,200
Speaker 1: detectives that the image was cut off to the second

2332
02:01:53,200 --> 02:01:56,800
Speaker 1: page and had no incident description. With detectives saw the image,

2333
02:01:57,040 --> 02:02:01,000
Speaker 1: they said, quote, this is a fake report, which is

2334
02:02:01,040 --> 02:02:04,280
Speaker 1: Sheriff's office complains. Matter of fact, Collier used the name

2335
02:02:04,320 --> 02:02:07,160
Speaker 1: and number of a current Polk County deputy on the

2336
02:02:07,200 --> 02:02:10,360
Speaker 1: fake report. But well, that's where the story falls to

2337
02:02:10,360 --> 02:02:12,600
Speaker 1: the ground as well, because the deputy was out of

2338
02:02:12,600 --> 02:02:15,480
Speaker 1: the vacation out of the country for a vacation on

2339
02:02:15,600 --> 02:02:19,200
Speaker 1: the day of the fake burglary. Furthermore, Collier's parents said

2340
02:02:19,240 --> 02:02:21,120
Speaker 1: they did not know what the hell she was talking about.

2341
02:02:21,360 --> 02:02:24,320
Speaker 1: Their vehicle was not burglarized and there was no knife involved.

2342
02:02:24,320 --> 02:02:27,680
Speaker 1: And when detectives asked Kylli Leer about the arm burglary,

2343
02:02:27,880 --> 02:02:31,520
Speaker 1: Collierler said her employer contacted the Sheriff's office and she

2344
02:02:31,680 --> 02:02:34,480
Speaker 1: didn't want to talk about the situation.

2345
02:02:34,840 --> 02:02:36,280
Speaker 2: So what happened.

2346
02:02:36,280 --> 02:02:38,960
Speaker 1: Deputies arrested Collier on the charges of criminal use of

2347
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:43,440
Speaker 1: a personal ID, uttering a false document. Sheriff Grady on

2348
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:45,360
Speaker 1: the case said, quote, you can't make this stuff up.

2349
02:02:45,720 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't understand why anybody would go to the extent

2350
02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:51,800
Speaker 1: of creating a fake police report to avoid a reprimanded

2351
02:02:51,880 --> 02:02:56,600
Speaker 1: work for tardiness. Collier has violated the trust of her

2352
02:02:56,600 --> 02:03:02,400
Speaker 1: coworkers and the people she was post to keep safe. Yep,

2353
02:03:03,360 --> 02:03:05,040
Speaker 1: you can't make this stuff up, folks.

2354
02:03:05,080 --> 02:03:07,080
Speaker 2: That's why we do. What kind of brand new fool you?

2355
02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:11,120
Speaker 1: After creating a fake police report and giving it to

2356
02:03:11,160 --> 02:03:14,400
Speaker 1: her supervisor for being late for the empty time, it

2357
02:03:14,480 --> 02:03:16,960
Speaker 1: leaves us asking the question to lead a Collier of

2358
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:20,040
Speaker 1: winter Haven, Florida, what kind of brand new fool of you,

2359
02:03:22,400 --> 02:03:23,080
Speaker 1: Martin Wise?

2360
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:24,920
Speaker 2: Looking forward to what you got to say?

2361
02:03:25,320 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 8: All right, Bernie, Lancaster, New Hampshire. Is the location here?

2362
02:03:30,040 --> 02:03:34,080
Speaker 8: Richard Ruddy, the man thirty five years old. He goes

2363
02:03:34,120 --> 02:03:37,120
Speaker 8: into a place called the Big Apple Store. Now it's

2364
02:03:37,160 --> 02:03:40,960
Speaker 8: not related to New York or MacBooks. It's the Big

2365
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:44,360
Speaker 8: Apple Store, all right, it says, police says. The veils

2366
02:03:44,520 --> 02:03:46,960
Speaker 8: video shows Ruddy talking to a cashier at the store

2367
02:03:46,960 --> 02:03:50,640
Speaker 8: about ten pm Thursday, before he started throwing items and

2368
02:03:50,680 --> 02:03:53,600
Speaker 8: pushing over the shelves. The police chief said, we're not

2369
02:03:53,600 --> 02:03:55,880
Speaker 8: sure what calls we have the reaction he did, but

2370
02:03:56,040 --> 02:03:59,040
Speaker 8: anything he could grab he was throwing. Police arrived five

2371
02:03:59,040 --> 02:04:02,200
Speaker 8: minutes after the clerk pressed up panic button. Police said

2372
02:04:02,280 --> 02:04:05,120
Speaker 8: Ruddy through a cardinal cigarettes at an officer. He was

2373
02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:09,720
Speaker 8: arrested and charged with criminal mischief. Now as he as

2374
02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:12,640
Speaker 8: Americans right and most of the time he was released

2375
02:04:12,640 --> 02:04:16,560
Speaker 8: on bail, had one specific condition besides the money. He

2376
02:04:16,960 --> 02:04:21,720
Speaker 8: could not return to the Big Apple store. However, Thursday night,

2377
02:04:21,800 --> 02:04:24,920
Speaker 8: not only did he return to the store. The police

2378
02:04:25,040 --> 02:04:28,720
Speaker 8: chief says they spotted him near the gas pumps, but

2379
02:04:28,800 --> 02:04:29,360
Speaker 8: when they.

2380
02:04:29,240 --> 02:04:33,000
Speaker 9: Approached, he drove through the doors of the store in

2381
02:04:33,080 --> 02:04:33,680
Speaker 9: his car.

2382
02:04:34,160 --> 02:04:36,760
Speaker 8: Unfortunately, it says it's the holiday weekend and this is

2383
02:04:36,800 --> 02:04:40,520
Speaker 8: the only twenty four hour business in Lancaster in New Hampshire.

2384
02:04:40,560 --> 02:04:45,800
Speaker 8: So Richard Ruddy was arrested again, held and ordered held

2385
02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:49,680
Speaker 8: and under preventative detention. So as long as he's being held,

2386
02:04:50,040 --> 02:04:52,800
Speaker 8: they could say he's no longer a dangerous society. Everyone

2387
02:04:52,880 --> 02:04:54,960
Speaker 8: is saved from this individual as long as he is

2388
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:56,400
Speaker 8: being held, per the police chief.

2389
02:04:56,440 --> 02:04:59,960
Speaker 9: But he maybe being held, but he's still a bak

2390
02:05:00,080 --> 02:05:00,600
Speaker 9: a new fool.

2391
02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Wow, that was a mouthful. All right, Martin, good job, buddy,

2392
02:05:07,320 --> 02:05:09,680
Speaker 1: All right, Shae Mogan guard, you're a veteran at this game.

2393
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:10,680
Speaker 2: What do you got force, bud.

2394
02:05:10,920 --> 02:05:12,680
Speaker 11: So we're not going to Florida this time, but we're

2395
02:05:12,680 --> 02:05:17,280
Speaker 11: actually we're going close by to me to Azusa, California.

2396
02:05:17,280 --> 02:05:19,960
Speaker 11: It's a city in Los Angeles County. It's about about

2397
02:05:19,960 --> 02:05:21,880
Speaker 11: like forty five to an hour away from US.

2398
02:05:23,240 --> 02:05:23,320
Speaker 1: So.

2399
02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:26,200
Speaker 11: A man described by police as a serial slinkshot shooter

2400
02:05:26,320 --> 02:05:30,120
Speaker 11: was arrested after an investigation revealed that he was terrorizing

2401
02:05:30,160 --> 02:05:33,800
Speaker 11: his neighborhood for the last decade. According to a social

2402
02:05:33,800 --> 02:05:36,680
Speaker 11: media post from the Zusa Police Department, officers with the

2403
02:05:36,840 --> 02:05:40,120
Speaker 11: DEU Task Force learned of a quality of life issue

2404
02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:43,480
Speaker 11: occurring in the nine hundred block of North Inide Avenue

2405
02:05:43,600 --> 02:05:48,200
Speaker 11: on Friday. The DEU conducted a lengthy investigation and learned

2406
02:05:48,200 --> 02:05:50,880
Speaker 11: that during the course of nine to ten years, dozens

2407
02:05:50,920 --> 02:05:53,920
Speaker 11: of citizens were being victimized by a serial slinkstot shooter.

2408
02:05:54,280 --> 02:05:58,400
Speaker 11: The department's Instagram post said the unknown suspect broke windows, windshields,

2409
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:00,960
Speaker 11: and almost struck people with little ball bait throughout those

2410
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:05,080
Speaker 11: ten years. Upon obtaining a search warrant for a home

2411
02:06:05,160 --> 02:06:08,120
Speaker 11: in the neighborhood where incidents were taking place, authorities arrested

2412
02:06:08,160 --> 02:06:11,000
Speaker 11: Prince King of Azusa. During the search, ball bearings and

2413
02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:14,560
Speaker 11: a slingshot recovered from King's residence. Law enforcement said, King,

2414
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:16,760
Speaker 11: who is eighty one years old was charged with a

2415
02:06:16,800 --> 02:06:19,360
Speaker 11: felony and is being held at Men's Central Jail on

2416
02:06:19,720 --> 02:06:23,080
Speaker 11: no bail. All I want to say is, if you're

2417
02:06:23,120 --> 02:06:25,600
Speaker 11: doing something for ten years, I feel like you should

2418
02:06:25,640 --> 02:06:28,839
Speaker 11: have a better hiding place for your weapon of choice.

2419
02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:32,040
Speaker 11: So this leads me to say, Prince King, what kind

2420
02:06:32,080 --> 02:06:32,680
Speaker 11: of fool are you?

2421
02:06:33,680 --> 02:06:36,280
Speaker 1: Well, we get some doozies tonight, man, And so we

2422
02:06:36,320 --> 02:06:40,440
Speaker 1: had winter Head in Florida, Lancaster, New Hampshire, I think,

2423
02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:42,640
Speaker 1: and shade, where was your location.

2424
02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:43,800
Speaker 9: Again with Azusa Los Angeles?

2425
02:06:43,880 --> 02:06:44,600
Speaker 1: That's right, I.

2426
02:06:44,640 --> 02:06:45,240
Speaker 2: Gotta forget that.

2427
02:06:45,280 --> 02:06:47,400
Speaker 1: I know right where that is off the sixty free

2428
02:06:47,400 --> 02:06:49,840
Speaker 1: with Yeah, and there used to be the old joke

2429
02:06:49,880 --> 02:06:52,240
Speaker 1: about Azusa. They have everything from A to Z in

2430
02:06:52,280 --> 02:06:52,760
Speaker 1: the USA.

2431
02:06:52,840 --> 02:06:54,960
Speaker 11: Remember that one I used to I used to always

2432
02:06:55,040 --> 02:06:58,360
Speaker 11: pass it driving to Marongo Casino and Resort, and we

2433
02:06:58,800 --> 02:07:00,320
Speaker 11: would always see that exact same thing.

2434
02:07:01,720 --> 02:07:05,480
Speaker 1: Yep, good stuff, guys, great job, great research show. Well done,

2435
02:07:05,520 --> 02:07:08,200
Speaker 1: my man, both you guys, Martin and Nache. And that

2436
02:07:08,280 --> 02:07:11,160
Speaker 1: will conclude another rousing addition, Oh of what kind of

2437
02:07:11,160 --> 02:07:13,800
Speaker 1: brand new fool of you? That now allows us to

2438
02:07:13,800 --> 02:07:17,080
Speaker 1: segue into and introduce our second favorite bit that we

2439
02:07:17,200 --> 02:07:24,880
Speaker 1: lovingly referred to as what my name and here we go.

2440

Speaker 1: Outstanding, Martin, And yes, unless something happens pretty damn quick there,

2596
02:15:16,720 --> 02:15:17,520
Speaker 1: this is gonna.

2597
02:15:17,280 --> 02:15:19,880
Speaker 2: Go down as Lou Brock for any brillio or worse.

2598
02:15:20,560 --> 02:15:26,200
Speaker 1: All right, last one, I'm sorry.

2599
02:15:26,240 --> 02:15:27,720
Speaker 2: I gotta gather myself before I do this.

2600
02:15:27,800 --> 02:15:31,720
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna fall on the floor. Okay. I

2601
02:15:31,800 --> 02:15:35,160
Speaker 1: averaged four point eight points per game for my college

2602
02:15:35,360 --> 02:15:38,680
Speaker 1: basketball team as a backup guard. We went eight and twelve.

2603
02:15:39,680 --> 02:15:41,680
Speaker 1: Yet some people are actually betting on me to be

2604
02:15:41,720 --> 02:15:50,720
Speaker 1: the number one pick. Use me, excuse me, Mark Gramsey,

2605
02:15:50,760 --> 02:15:51,360
Speaker 1: what my name?

2606
02:15:54,480 --> 02:15:56,120
Speaker 9: I passed to the next smart person.

2607
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:03,160
Speaker 1: So I averaged four point eight points game this season

2608
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:06,560
Speaker 1: for my eight and twelve college team. Is a backup

2609
02:16:06,560 --> 02:16:08,440
Speaker 1: point guard. People are actually betting on me to be

2610
02:16:08,480 --> 02:16:11,040
Speaker 1: the number one draft pick in the NBA. Once you

2611
02:16:11,080 --> 02:16:14,840
Speaker 1: guys say it at the same time, Martin and Shaye

2612
02:16:14,920 --> 02:16:20,280
Speaker 1: go ahead, three two one, Bronnie come, oh, nicely done, guys,

2613
02:16:20,520 --> 02:16:25,720
Speaker 1: that one he oh even in two part harmony, couldn't.

2614
02:16:27,080 --> 02:16:27,360
Speaker 6: Look.

2615
02:16:28,920 --> 02:16:32,200
Speaker 1: Every time I've seen Bronni interviewed, I'm impressed.

2616
02:16:32,560 --> 02:16:33,600
Speaker 2: I like the dude. Man.

2617
02:16:33,959 --> 02:16:40,840
Speaker 1: He's classy, he's measured, he's polite, he's mature. I don't

2618
02:16:40,840 --> 02:16:43,560
Speaker 1: know about this whole deal. Look, and if it happens, great,

2619
02:16:44,120 --> 02:16:47,720
Speaker 1: Let a father's dream come true. Let it happen. I'm cool.

2620
02:16:47,760 --> 02:16:51,080
Speaker 1: I like to see people get what they want in life,

2621
02:16:51,120 --> 02:16:53,840
Speaker 1: as long as it's not breaking the law. Do you

2622
02:16:53,840 --> 02:16:55,760
Speaker 1: guys have an opinion about this whole I don't want

2623
02:16:55,760 --> 02:16:58,160
Speaker 1: to start with you, Martin, you have an opinion all

2624
02:16:58,200 --> 02:17:01,280
Speaker 1: about this old Bronni lebron deal playing and playing in

2625
02:17:01,360 --> 02:17:02,160
Speaker 1: the NBA together.

2626
02:17:03,120 --> 02:17:05,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think it'll happen. I think your point

2627
02:17:05,400 --> 02:17:11,039
Speaker 8: about Bronnie being normal is a sight nothing short of

2628
02:17:11,040 --> 02:17:14,760
Speaker 8: a miracle that Lebron James son, who has been famous

2629
02:17:14,800 --> 02:17:19,640
Speaker 8: since the day he was born, is just, for all accounts,

2630
02:17:19,640 --> 02:17:22,360
Speaker 8: a normal kid. And you see all the things coming

2631
02:17:22,360 --> 02:17:25,840
Speaker 8: out of from the combine and all his draft preparations,

2632
02:17:26,120 --> 02:17:29,520
Speaker 8: everything off the court seems like the perfect, picture perfect package.

2633
02:17:30,400 --> 02:17:34,440
Speaker 8: But yeah, I don't see I just don't see it

2634
02:17:35,120 --> 02:17:36,039
Speaker 8: in the way I see it.

2635
02:17:35,959 --> 02:17:36,600
Speaker 2: For other guys.

2636
02:17:37,959 --> 02:17:40,880
Speaker 1: It's interesting. Do you think it'll come to pass though?

2637
02:17:40,959 --> 02:17:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's really deserved, But do

2638
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:45,879
Speaker 1: you think it'll come to pass? Given given you know,

2639
02:17:46,040 --> 02:17:49,800
Speaker 1: the the knockers that Lebron James has an elite.

2640
02:17:49,520 --> 02:17:51,720
Speaker 9: You know, I actually don't. I think that.

2641
02:17:52,240 --> 02:17:54,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate your refreshing opinion.

2642
02:17:54,080 --> 02:17:56,320
Speaker 9: Goal, Yeah, I actually don't. I think that.

2643
02:17:57,400 --> 02:17:59,840
Speaker 8: I think that when Bronnie was thirteen, it was a

2644
02:18:00,080 --> 02:18:01,720
Speaker 8: it was kind of a pie in the sky thing

2645
02:18:01,800 --> 02:18:05,360
Speaker 8: that was easier to for for Lebron senior to say.

2646
02:18:05,800 --> 02:18:08,240
Speaker 8: But now I think the reports coming out are more

2647
02:18:08,320 --> 02:18:12,360
Speaker 8: along the lines of make Brownie be his own man,

2648
02:18:12,560 --> 02:18:14,080
Speaker 8: you know, and I would be you know, I would

2649
02:18:14,160 --> 02:18:16,000
Speaker 8: say this though I am surprised to see him in

2650
02:18:16,080 --> 02:18:18,920
Speaker 8: the draft, but you know, his dock may never be

2651
02:18:19,080 --> 02:18:21,000
Speaker 8: higher than this moment, because if he goes back and

2652
02:18:21,040 --> 02:18:25,000
Speaker 8: have another year and at USC and averages similar numbers

2653
02:18:25,000 --> 02:18:26,720
Speaker 8: and similar you know, win loss record and so on

2654
02:18:26,760 --> 02:18:30,400
Speaker 8: and so forth, you won't have the reasoning and rationale

2655
02:18:30,480 --> 02:18:32,440
Speaker 8: of well, he just had a heart attack and he

2656
02:18:32,520 --> 02:18:34,519
Speaker 8: was trying to adjust to a whole new lifestyle.

2657
02:18:35,000 --> 02:18:35,879
Speaker 9: So we'll see.

2658
02:18:35,959 --> 02:18:38,760
Speaker 8: But at six ' two, unless he hits a growth

2659
02:18:38,760 --> 02:18:40,320
Speaker 8: spurt soon, I think it's gonna be tough.

2660
02:18:42,040 --> 02:18:47,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't disagree with any of that. I you know,

2661
02:18:48,520 --> 02:18:50,880
Speaker 1: Ken Griffith Jr. And Ken Griffyd Senior played, but they

2662
02:18:50,920 --> 02:18:55,119
Speaker 1: were legit, man, Okay, And I just it's getting wacky

2663
02:18:55,200 --> 02:18:56,440
Speaker 1: when you have people like.

2664
02:18:58,040 --> 02:18:58,640
Speaker 2: Who was it?

2665
02:19:00,120 --> 02:19:02,160
Speaker 1: Was it? Jason wdlocks Had Man, you're using your kid

2666
02:19:02,160 --> 02:19:04,680
Speaker 1: as a prop to Saint right, and now they're calling

2667
02:19:04,760 --> 02:19:07,200
Speaker 1: him a neple baby, And you know what, he is

2668
02:19:07,240 --> 02:19:10,680
Speaker 1: a neple baby. I'm sorry because he's not. He won't

2669
02:19:10,680 --> 02:19:13,400
Speaker 1: be playing in the NBA because it was merit. Anyway,

2670
02:19:13,800 --> 02:19:15,600
Speaker 1: I agree though he's a good kid. I can hold

2671
02:19:15,600 --> 02:19:18,520
Speaker 1: two thoughts concurrently, Shaye, what are your thoughts on the matter.

2672
02:19:18,959 --> 02:19:23,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I definitely don't think he would be

2673
02:19:23,040 --> 02:19:25,120
Speaker 11: on a team, but I definitely don't think that he

2674
02:19:25,280 --> 02:19:27,200
Speaker 11: can't not be on a team, because I mean ten

2675
02:19:27,240 --> 02:19:30,760
Speaker 11: teams have supposedly sent invitations to him to work out.

2676
02:19:30,840 --> 02:19:32,960
Speaker 11: And I saw something where the Suns he will be

2677
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:36,320
Speaker 11: working out with the Suns sooner than like rather than later.

2678
02:19:36,360 --> 02:19:39,360
Speaker 11: I think it was it got reported on Friday that

2679
02:19:39,440 --> 02:19:41,440
Speaker 11: he will meet with the Suns. So, I mean the

2680
02:19:41,480 --> 02:19:44,800
Speaker 11: odds are if you look at the odds and Vegas

2681
02:19:44,800 --> 02:19:46,520
Speaker 11: doesn't want to lose money ever, you know what I mean.

2682
02:19:47,160 --> 02:19:50,080
Speaker 11: So the Los Angeles Lakers are plus one sixty right

2683
02:19:50,080 --> 02:19:55,240
Speaker 11: now on DraftKings to get him. So I mean that's

2684
02:19:55,280 --> 02:19:57,720
Speaker 11: those odds aren't horrible. If plus one sixty is not

2685
02:19:57,800 --> 02:19:59,959
Speaker 11: something that like I would be like, oh I got

2686
02:20:00,120 --> 02:20:03,480
Speaker 11: that's never gonna happen. So I just it's something that

2687
02:20:03,959 --> 02:20:07,039
Speaker 11: it really it's we've never seen it because we've never

2688
02:20:07,080 --> 02:20:10,640
Speaker 11: seen someone as influential as Lebron kind of do this

2689
02:20:10,720 --> 02:20:14,920
Speaker 11: with someone that doesn't necessarily have the skill already. Obviously,

2690
02:20:14,959 --> 02:20:17,520
Speaker 11: he's Lebron's son, so he has potential and so much

2691
02:20:17,560 --> 02:20:19,959
Speaker 11: can happen, and then at Martin's point, like he can

2692
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:22,440
Speaker 11: go back to USC and just absolutely mess everything up.

2693
02:20:22,480 --> 02:20:25,039
Speaker 9: So if it was to happen. I think it's now, and.

2694
02:20:26,720 --> 02:20:28,680
Speaker 11: I think it's fifty to fifty to be honest, which

2695
02:20:28,720 --> 02:20:31,240
Speaker 11: is so weird and I probably wouldn't have said that

2696
02:20:31,360 --> 02:20:34,279
Speaker 11: last week, but I mean, just reading the story, seeing

2697
02:20:34,440 --> 02:20:37,039
Speaker 11: ten teams sending him in invitations to work out, it

2698
02:20:37,160 --> 02:20:39,480
Speaker 11: just I don't get it. I seriously don't get it.

2699
02:20:41,640 --> 02:20:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna address this in future shows. I know

2700
02:20:44,120 --> 02:20:47,360
Speaker 1: what's going on behind the scenes. He's not good enough

2701
02:20:47,400 --> 02:20:49,959
Speaker 1: playing the NBA. That doesn't mean that won't happen, but

2702
02:20:50,000 --> 02:20:51,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna dive into this in future weeks

2703
02:20:51,879 --> 02:20:54,320
Speaker 1: because the draft coming up. June twenty six, Hey, I

02:22:50,040 --> 02:22:54,000
Speaker 8: gate Aaron Judges Homerden's last four games. The Yankees beat

2747
02:22:54,040 --> 02:22:56,720
Speaker 8: the Padres and San Diego four to one. They looked

2748
02:22:56,760 --> 02:22:59,320
Speaker 8: to sweep the three game series later today. For to

2749
02:22:59,320 --> 02:23:02,440
Speaker 8: ten Easter, Dodgers have lost four straight, the most recent

2750
02:23:02,480 --> 02:23:04,920
Speaker 8: being yesterday three to one loss of the Reds.

2751
02:23:04,920 --> 02:23:06,760
Speaker 9: Walker Buehler gave up those three.

2752
02:23:06,600 --> 02:23:10,040
Speaker 8: Runs over six hits over five and two thirds innings pitched.

2753
02:23:10,200 --> 02:23:13,720
Speaker 8: Royals have won their eighth straight game, seven to four

2754
02:23:13,800 --> 02:23:16,680
Speaker 8: at the Rays and eleven innings. Yesterday, the Indy five

2755
02:23:16,760 --> 02:23:20,640
Speaker 8: hundred scheduled for later today, but there are thunderstorms in

2756
02:23:20,720 --> 02:23:23,320
Speaker 8: the forecast, so we'll see if the race actually gets

2757
02:23:23,320 --> 02:23:25,200
Speaker 8: to run. Bernie, Now it's time, go ahead, kick it

2758
02:23:25,280 --> 02:23:27,879
Speaker 8: the world of soccer, all right, So.

2759
02:23:29,040 --> 02:23:32,119
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to Chris' future this week. Harry Kane,

2760
02:23:32,120 --> 02:23:36,000
Speaker 1: the all time league scorer for the England national team.

2761
02:23:36,520 --> 02:23:38,440
Speaker 1: I missed him, meeting him by five minutes. He's on

2762
02:23:38,440 --> 02:23:42,040
Speaker 1: his way to Manchester. You I man you or one

2763
02:23:42,080 --> 02:23:46,280
Speaker 1: of the two. But here's the deal. Having stood on

2764
02:23:46,320 --> 02:23:49,600
Speaker 1: the field of Tottenham and I've always been a soccer fan,

2765
02:23:49,720 --> 02:23:52,800
Speaker 1: and I covered ninety four World Cup in Detroit which

2766
02:23:52,840 --> 02:23:55,600
Speaker 1: came through there. But listen, whether it's in season, out

2767
02:23:55,640 --> 02:23:57,480
Speaker 1: of season, off the fielder on the field, there's always

2768
02:23:57,480 --> 02:23:59,560
Speaker 1: stuff to report. That's why we do bring you this

2769
02:23:59,640 --> 02:24:01,600
Speaker 1: week Chris Pffett's World of Soccer.

2770
02:24:02,959 --> 02:24:19,000
Speaker 13: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum, It's

2771
02:24:19,040 --> 02:24:21,920
Speaker 13: all here in this report from the World of.

2772
02:24:21,840 --> 02:24:23,280
Speaker 1: Soccer, Bernie.

2773
02:24:23,320 --> 02:24:27,840
Speaker 14: Across Europe, across the world of soccer, domestic leagues are

2774
02:24:28,120 --> 02:24:33,200
Speaker 14: going final. We have final after last weekends thrilling action

2775
02:24:33,640 --> 02:24:37,440
Speaker 14: in multiple leagues, some already sewn up, some not so much.

2776
02:24:37,720 --> 02:24:39,959
Speaker 14: Let's well, we're gonna go to England in a second,

2777
02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:42,240
Speaker 14: because that's where the big story was. It came down

2778
02:24:42,280 --> 02:24:44,680
Speaker 14: to the final week of Premier League and we were

2779
02:24:44,720 --> 02:24:48,000
Speaker 14: talking about it here on Fox Sports Radio all morning

2780
02:24:48,080 --> 02:24:51,960
Speaker 14: last Sunday as everything collided. There's still a weekend to

2781
02:24:52,040 --> 02:24:56,240
Speaker 14: go in La Liga, but Real Madrid obviously champions, having

2782
02:24:56,280 --> 02:24:59,680
Speaker 14: pulled ahead so far ahead from everyone else in the pack,

2783
02:25:00,440 --> 02:25:02,920
Speaker 14: the Kings of football looked to be nigh unbeaten a

2784
02:25:02,959 --> 02:25:06,840
Speaker 14: twelve point margin before even going into the final weekend

2785
02:25:07,160 --> 02:25:10,640
Speaker 14: over Barcelona, who is in second place. But really the

2786
02:25:10,720 --> 02:25:14,480
Speaker 14: hats are off. The toast is being raised across Europe

2787
02:25:14,640 --> 02:25:19,360
Speaker 14: to Bayer Leverkusen, a team in the German Bundesliga, who

2788
02:25:19,360 --> 02:25:23,640
Speaker 14: have completed the impossible, not only winning Bundesliga and breaking

2789
02:25:23,760 --> 02:25:27,240
Speaker 14: up the monotony of Bayern Munich and maybe Barusia Dortmund

2790
02:25:27,440 --> 02:25:33,800
Speaker 14: claiming that league's title, but having an unbeaten season ninety points,

2791
02:25:34,000 --> 02:25:39,480
Speaker 14: thirty four games played, twenty eight wins, six draws, no losses.

2792
02:25:39,560 --> 02:25:43,800
Speaker 14: It is for the history books Leverkusen, coming out of

2793
02:25:44,320 --> 02:25:48,680
Speaker 14: seemingly a lot of years of just growth development, really

2794
02:25:48,760 --> 02:25:52,000
Speaker 14: pounding on the door, having better and better showings.

2795
02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:53,280
Speaker 1: They were six last year.

2796
02:25:54,080 --> 02:25:57,800
Speaker 14: Year prior they had made it third behind Dortmund and Munich,

2797
02:25:58,000 --> 02:26:00,000
Speaker 14: and now here they are a top of the world,

2798
02:26:00,640 --> 02:26:03,879
Speaker 14: well at least the top of Germany. That unbeaten record

2799
02:26:04,120 --> 02:26:08,160
Speaker 14: was being carried through the season in European play as well,

2800
02:26:08,560 --> 02:26:12,480
Speaker 14: until finally they hit the Europa League Final this past

2801
02:26:12,560 --> 02:26:17,080
Speaker 14: week against the Italian side Adelanta, and they were defeated

2802
02:26:17,240 --> 02:26:19,920
Speaker 14: three nil, a very bittersweet moment to go out on,

2803
02:26:20,000 --> 02:26:24,000
Speaker 14: but holding up the Bundesliga trophy still a fantastic story

2804
02:26:24,040 --> 02:26:28,039
Speaker 14: for them. Adelanta of course winning Europa and the Italian League,

2805
02:26:28,120 --> 02:26:33,600
Speaker 14: going very convincingly to Internazionale Milan, who had a massive

2806
02:26:33,879 --> 02:26:39,280
Speaker 14: nineteen point lead over AC Milan as the season concluded here.

2807
02:26:39,320 --> 02:26:42,879
Speaker 1: But again, the real action this season was in England.

2808
02:26:43,160 --> 02:26:45,760
Speaker 14: It was in the Premier League and it was a

2809
02:26:45,800 --> 02:26:49,720
Speaker 14: battle between Arsenal and Manchester City down to the final day.

2810
02:26:49,840 --> 02:26:52,360
Speaker 14: We were tracking all of it here on the world

2811
02:26:52,360 --> 02:26:55,640
Speaker 14: of soccer. It was thrilling and yet in the back

2812
02:26:55,680 --> 02:26:57,680
Speaker 14: of my mind, in the back of my mind, I

2813
02:26:57,840 --> 02:26:59,240
Speaker 14: just sat there thinking.

2814
02:26:58,920 --> 02:27:01,000
Speaker 1: And knowing as much much as Arsenal kept the.

2815
02:27:01,040 --> 02:27:05,080
Speaker 14: Lead, especially after Liverpool started to fade away, I thought

2816
02:27:05,440 --> 02:27:08,200
Speaker 14: something's going to happen. Something's going to happen, and a

2817
02:27:08,320 --> 02:27:12,440
Speaker 14: no fault of their own, no fault of Arsenal's own.

2818
02:27:12,600 --> 02:27:17,279
Speaker 14: They had been winning six of their last Premier League matches,

2819
02:27:17,320 --> 02:27:21,200
Speaker 14: including their last one over Everton, a two to one

2820
02:27:21,320 --> 02:27:24,360
Speaker 14: victory that kept them afloat. But the point is is

2821
02:27:24,400 --> 02:27:27,560
Speaker 14: that Manchester City, because of some scheduling, had a game

2822
02:27:27,600 --> 02:27:30,440
Speaker 14: in hand, and that game was played they were able

2823
02:27:30,480 --> 02:27:34,160
Speaker 14: to make up ground and this led us the last

2824
02:27:34,160 --> 02:27:37,920
Speaker 14: Sunday's action where we had Manchester City and Arsenal playing

2825
02:27:37,959 --> 02:27:41,280
Speaker 14: at the same time. Arsenal all they needed was to

2826
02:27:41,320 --> 02:27:44,160
Speaker 14: do was to win and for City to either draw

2827
02:27:44,640 --> 02:27:49,400
Speaker 14: or lose. Because City had also played fantastically well, built

2828
02:27:49,480 --> 02:27:51,680
Speaker 14: up an early enough lead early on the year before

2829
02:27:51,680 --> 02:27:54,520
Speaker 14: a lot of their troubles came back. They too had

2830
02:27:54,560 --> 02:27:59,600
Speaker 14: been winning about five six seven straight and they faced

2831
02:27:59,600 --> 02:28:03,640
Speaker 14: west Ham United. Our Arsenal was taking on Everton. Arsenal

2832
02:28:03,840 --> 02:28:08,080
Speaker 14: two to one over Everton Great and every time it

2833
02:28:08,120 --> 02:28:12,720
Speaker 14: looked close, west Ham United coundnot do any favors to

2834
02:28:12,800 --> 02:28:16,800
Speaker 14: the gunners. Manchester City three to one, and once again

2835
02:28:17,280 --> 02:28:20,680
Speaker 14: City is on top, maybe not quite as dominant year's past,

2836
02:28:20,720 --> 02:28:24,560
Speaker 14: but This now makes four straight titles for Manchester City

2837
02:28:24,800 --> 02:28:27,480
Speaker 14: in the Premier League, which is a bit of a

2838
02:28:27,680 --> 02:28:30,840
Speaker 14: bit of a bummer, a little bit. The greatness of

2839
02:28:30,879 --> 02:28:34,520
Speaker 14: Manchester City cannot be understated, but at a certain point

2840
02:28:34,560 --> 02:28:37,320
Speaker 14: you kind of hope that in the Premier League they're

2841
02:28:37,360 --> 02:28:43,120
Speaker 14: not used to having teams like in say Germany and

2842
02:28:43,400 --> 02:28:47,680
Speaker 14: France and Spain just simply dominating and winning title after title,

2843
02:28:47,760 --> 02:28:50,920
Speaker 14: year after year after year. Four straight years of Manchester

2844
02:28:51,040 --> 02:28:54,000
Speaker 14: City and to be clear, they've been winning quite a few.

2845
02:28:54,040 --> 02:28:56,240
Speaker 14: You can go back the last ten twelve years or

2846
02:28:56,320 --> 02:28:58,600
Speaker 14: so and it's only broken up here and there by

2847
02:28:58,760 --> 02:29:03,879
Speaker 14: Chelsea or the amazing Lester City season or the one

2848
02:29:04,000 --> 02:29:06,920
Speaker 14: year that Liverpool wanted during the COVID Like this is.

2849
02:29:07,280 --> 02:29:09,360
Speaker 14: This is a run of dominance that I think is

2850
02:29:09,400 --> 02:29:13,199
Speaker 14: really being understated. But English soccer has always sold itself

2851
02:29:13,560 --> 02:29:16,879
Speaker 14: as that more clubs have a chance at that title.

2852
02:29:17,280 --> 02:29:20,400
Speaker 14: It's a fantastic run and you know Saturday will come

2853
02:29:20,440 --> 02:29:22,440
Speaker 14: and come and go and we'll see if they win

2854
02:29:22,879 --> 02:29:25,520
Speaker 14: a FA Cup on top of it over Manchester United.

2855
02:29:26,080 --> 02:29:28,000
Speaker 14: But this is a club that is facing a lot

2856
02:29:28,000 --> 02:29:33,560
Speaker 14: of financial fair play regulation penalties that that might come

2857
02:29:33,640 --> 02:29:36,279
Speaker 14: down at some point against them. This is a club

2858
02:29:36,320 --> 02:29:39,600
Speaker 14: that has just roundly outspent everyone, picked up some of

2859
02:29:39,640 --> 02:29:42,480
Speaker 14: the best players in the world over and over and

2860
02:29:42,520 --> 02:29:47,920
Speaker 14: over again. And I do wonder if English soccer's allure

2861
02:29:48,280 --> 02:29:51,120
Speaker 14: is starting to fade a little bit because Manchester City

2862
02:29:51,480 --> 02:29:54,480
Speaker 14: is just roundly defeating everyone. It was very much so

2863
02:29:54,640 --> 02:29:56,920
Speaker 14: fate for the Arsenal. This is a club that has

2864
02:29:57,080 --> 02:30:00,000
Speaker 14: always had a lot of bad luck on their side,

2865
02:30:00,160 --> 02:30:03,040
Speaker 14: and to go into the final, go into the final

2866
02:30:03,080 --> 02:30:06,080
Speaker 14: week knowing that the fate wasn't even in your hands,

2867
02:30:06,280 --> 02:30:10,000
Speaker 14: it must sting tremendously. But the seasons are done. We

2868
02:30:10,080 --> 02:30:12,920
Speaker 14: stare down now the off season here, but we have

2869
02:30:12,959 --> 02:30:16,800
Speaker 14: a few finals to say. Come next week on Saturday,

2870
02:30:17,200 --> 02:30:22,480
Speaker 14: three pm Eastern time, the Champions League Final the Kings

2871
02:30:22,480 --> 02:30:26,640
Speaker 14: of Spain of Real Madrid against a very scrappy and

2872
02:30:26,840 --> 02:30:33,720
Speaker 14: very plucky German Borussia Dortmund team, held in Wembley Stadium. Yes, Bernie,

2873
02:30:33,760 --> 02:30:37,000
Speaker 14: you were just there Wembley Stadium. It is going to

2874
02:30:37,040 --> 02:30:39,080
Speaker 14: be a thrill for the ages. I think a lot

2875
02:30:39,080 --> 02:30:41,680
Speaker 14: of the spirits out there are around Borussia Dortmund, but

2876
02:30:41,720 --> 02:30:44,680
Speaker 14: it's hard to argue against all of the talent, all

2877
02:30:44,760 --> 02:30:46,360
Speaker 14: the splendor and all over the.

2878
02:30:46,280 --> 02:30:48,480
Speaker 1: Ability of Real Madrid.

2879
02:30:48,520 --> 02:30:50,520
Speaker 14: We'll give you a preview here coming up on the

2880
02:30:50,520 --> 02:30:53,360
Speaker 14: World of soccer and to recap one way or another,

2881
02:30:53,640 --> 02:30:57,279
Speaker 14: and you'll have it all here on the World of Soccer.

2882
02:30:58,840 --> 02:31:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish just stare at Wembley Stadium. And I

2883
02:31:00,879 --> 02:31:03,240
Speaker 1: gotta tell you I look for things to really heat

2884
02:31:03,320 --> 02:31:05,440
Speaker 1: up in soccer news in the coming months. Chryst will

2885
02:31:05,440 --> 02:31:08,240
Speaker 1: bring it to you and let's not forget. And I

2886
02:31:08,280 --> 02:31:12,040
Speaker 1: was also in Paris this past week and the twenty

2887
02:31:12,120 --> 02:31:15,039
Speaker 1: twenty four Olympic Games are going to be in Paris.

2888
02:31:15,120 --> 02:31:16,680
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of the areas fenced off and

2889
02:31:16,760 --> 02:31:19,840
Speaker 1: some of the stadiums will be playing. So look for

2890
02:31:19,879 --> 02:31:24,440
Speaker 1: more and updated highlights in Chris Braffett's World of Soccer.

2891
02:31:24,480 --> 02:31:29,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of highlights, we have information just around the corner.

2892
02:31:29,840 --> 02:31:36,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady will be making his NFL broadcasting debut for Fox.

2893
02:31:37,400 --> 02:31:41,359
Speaker 1: And you know it was always gonna draw curiosity seekers

2894
02:31:41,680 --> 02:31:44,800
Speaker 1: no matter when the game was played and who was playing.

2895
02:31:45,600 --> 02:31:48,199
Speaker 1: But man, I think Fox pulled a real coup here

2914
02:32:54,280 --> 02:32:58,960

2915
02:32:59,040 --> 02:33:04,000
Speaker 1: twenty five Pacific time, the Dallas Cowboys will visit the

2916
02:33:04,080 --> 02:33:09,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. That is the first weekend of NFL football.

2917
02:33:09,320 --> 02:33:12,720
Speaker 1: Why am I bringing this up. It will mark the

2918
02:33:12,800 --> 02:33:18,959
Speaker 1: debut of one mister Tom Brady is Fox regular season debut. Now,

2919
02:33:19,000 --> 02:33:21,080
Speaker 1: it was always gonna be. They could have played the

2920
02:33:21,120 --> 02:33:24,000
Speaker 1: thing at two thirty in the morning on Mars between

2921
02:33:24,000 --> 02:33:27,359
Speaker 1: the Hoboken Zephyrs and the New York Giants of the

2922
02:33:26,879 --> 02:33:30,240
Speaker 1: Little Little Giants of you know football movie.

2923
02:33:30,800 --> 02:33:31,440
Speaker 2: You better not.

2924
02:33:31,360 --> 02:33:34,440
Speaker 1: Say nothing bad about my mama. And then we're still

2925
02:33:34,440 --> 02:33:36,520
Speaker 1: gonna watch. We want to see what how Brady does

2926
02:33:36,600 --> 02:33:40,360
Speaker 1: you just do? There's curiosity seekers, there's fans or you know. Look,

2927
02:33:41,000 --> 02:33:43,720
Speaker 1: I was at WTK an arbor cut in my teeth

2928
02:33:43,760 --> 02:33:48,000
Speaker 1: when Brady was there. Man, all right, so look we're

2929
02:33:48,040 --> 02:33:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna be watching. And here's what's interesting and the reason

2930
02:33:51,680 --> 02:33:55,880
Speaker 1: I brought up that time for twenty five Eastern Opening Day,

2931
02:33:55,920 --> 02:33:58,160
Speaker 1: and there's only one other game gonna be played at

2932
02:33:58,200 --> 02:34:01,720
Speaker 1: the kicks off at for twenty five that's the Commanders

2933
02:34:01,720 --> 02:34:03,800
Speaker 1: and Buccaneers, and that will only be seen by ten

2934
02:34:03,840 --> 02:34:05,640
Speaker 1: percent of the country. Now, there are a couple of

2935
02:34:05,640 --> 02:34:09,720
Speaker 1: other one o'clock games Pacific of four o'clock Raiders, Chargers, Broncos, Ehawks,

2936
02:34:10,600 --> 02:34:15,680
Speaker 1: but I expect Cowboys Browns to dominate the airwaves that

2937
02:34:15,800 --> 02:34:19,680
Speaker 1: day and get the ratings for the simple reason it's

2938
02:34:19,720 --> 02:34:24,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Now it gets better for those of you

2939
02:34:25,000 --> 02:34:26,680
Speaker 1: who may or may not know, and some of you,

2940
02:34:26,879 --> 02:34:32,560
Speaker 1: some of you might the four pm Eastern time window

2941
02:34:32,640 --> 02:34:35,640
Speaker 1: for the National Football League in their games. It is

2942
02:34:35,800 --> 02:34:40,039
Speaker 1: the most coveted time slot in all of NFL content, period,

2943
02:34:40,720 --> 02:34:43,400
Speaker 1: more than the one o'clock game Eastern, the one twenty

2944
02:34:43,400 --> 02:34:46,520
Speaker 1: five game Eastern, the four o'clock game Eastern, the Monday

2945
02:34:46,560 --> 02:34:50,440
Speaker 1: night football. You know, it's the most coveted time slot

2946
02:34:50,480 --> 02:34:55,039
Speaker 1: in all of NFL content. And CBS recently had a

2947
02:34:55,080 --> 02:34:57,840
Speaker 1: press conference or a press release a couple of weeks

2948
02:34:57,840 --> 02:35:00,440
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl that said the NFL on CBS

2949
02:35:00,520 --> 02:35:03,240
Speaker 1: national game at that time slot, had they had ten,

2950
02:35:03,600 --> 02:35:07,000
Speaker 1: CBS had ten of those Sunday afternoon windows. This past season.

2951
02:35:07,320 --> 02:35:12,400
Speaker 1: They averaged just under twenty five million viewers per game.

2952
02:35:13,160 --> 02:35:15,879
Speaker 1: That's more than any other sport or any other network,

2953
02:35:16,000 --> 02:35:20,879
Speaker 1: or any other entertainment offering on any network period for

2954
02:35:20,959 --> 02:35:24,320
Speaker 1: the year, twenty five million viewers. That's why that four

2955
02:35:24,360 --> 02:35:29,680
Speaker 1: to twenty five slot is so coveted. Well, the executives

2956
02:35:29,680 --> 02:35:33,520
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports have taken notice, and this is something

2957
02:35:33,560 --> 02:35:35,520
Speaker 1: that had kind of stuck in their crow for months,

2958
02:35:36,000 --> 02:35:39,879
Speaker 1: because really, for more than a decade, Fox owned that

2959
02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:43,040
Speaker 1: top spot in the regular season in their viewership for

2960
02:35:43,080 --> 02:35:45,400
Speaker 1: the four to twenty five PM Eastern time window. In fact,

2961
02:35:45,440 --> 02:35:48,480
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, Fox averaged twenty four point six

2962
02:35:48,560 --> 02:35:51,360
Speaker 1: million viewers in the afternoon time slot. That's how tight

2963
02:35:51,400 --> 02:35:55,600
Speaker 1: it was. CBS beat them out by roughly five hundred

2964
02:35:55,600 --> 02:35:59,120
Speaker 1: thousand viewers, not maybe not even that when they competed,

2965
02:35:59,400 --> 02:36:01,640
Speaker 1: but it was very type. They had fifty thousand viewers.

2966
02:36:02,320 --> 02:36:08,080
Speaker 1: So Fox said, Okay, not up in here. We're gonna

2967
02:36:08,080 --> 02:36:10,240
Speaker 1: plan for the twenty twenty four NFL season with a

2968
02:36:10,280 --> 02:36:14,640
Speaker 1: definitive goal. We want that top spot back. So apparently

2969
02:36:14,680 --> 02:36:16,760
Speaker 1: they coordinated with their partners at d NFL to load

2970
02:36:16,840 --> 02:36:19,360
Speaker 1: up the early season with games that can draw huge audiences.

2971
02:36:19,920 --> 02:36:22,680
Speaker 1: Like I said, Dallas Cleveland, tell me that's not gonna

2972
02:36:22,680 --> 02:36:24,959
Speaker 1: be a huge game. Think about what Martin said, All

2973
02:36:25,000 --> 02:36:26,840
Speaker 1: lives are gonna be on de Shaan Watson this year.

2974
02:36:27,360 --> 02:36:29,240
Speaker 1: I think I think time is just about up with him,

2975
02:36:29,280 --> 02:36:31,880
Speaker 1: and eyes are gonna be on Dallas. And then in

2976
02:36:31,879 --> 02:36:36,000
Speaker 1: Week three you've got the Lions and Cowboys in a rematch.

2977
02:36:36,000 --> 02:36:38,560
Speaker 1: I checked that week three, you got the Ravens and Cowboys.

2978
02:36:38,760 --> 02:36:40,800
Speaker 1: Then week six you got the Lions and Cowboys in

2979
02:36:40,840 --> 02:36:44,720
Speaker 1: a rematch. In week seven, talk about a delicious matchup

2980
02:36:45,040 --> 02:36:47,480
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and Samprus go forty nine ers.

2981
02:36:48,280 --> 02:36:50,960
Speaker 1: Those are just four of some of the games Fox

2982
02:36:51,040 --> 02:36:53,720
Speaker 1: is gonna have. But the beauty of it is the

2983
02:36:53,760 --> 02:36:57,119
Speaker 1: first one on September eighth and four to twenty five

2984
02:36:57,160 --> 02:37:00,840
Speaker 1: East in between Dallas and Cleveland. And Cleveland your Tom

2985
02:37:01,080 --> 02:37:05,520
Speaker 1: Brady's regular season debut I got. I'm gonna guess they're

2986
02:37:05,560 --> 02:37:08,360
Speaker 1: gonna blow out. They're gonna beat that twenty five million

2987
02:37:08,480 --> 02:37:11,400
Speaker 1: dollars at twenty five million dollars excuse me, the twenty

2988
02:37:11,400 --> 02:37:18,480
Speaker 1: five main viewership number for that day. And uh, you

2989
02:37:18,520 --> 02:37:21,720
