Italian Beef coming up? How's my nickname? 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: In high school? I was known as Italian Beef even 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: though it was Irish. I don't know. It was just strange. Hey, 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: Italian Bee. Because you're on a roll. Oh okay, I 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: like that. Thank you. Seton, thank you, Final hour and 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: we'll talk to Jim Jackson. Jim was on the call 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: last night with the play in games the first four, 11 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: as we like to say, last night, tenth season that 12 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament opened with the first four. The four 13 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: games yesterday were decided by a combined total of sixteen points. 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: That times for the smallest total margin for the first 15 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: four in those ten years. As we make way for 16 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: the former Ohio State great, Jim calling UCLA, Michigan State, 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: as well as Drake in Wichita State. He'll be on 18 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: the call three games on Saturday, UNC Greensboro, Florida State, USC, 19 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: Drake on Zaga and Norfolk State. How are you doing 20 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: on sleep there, Jim? You're doing all right? What asleep. 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: What do you mean, I mean after that game last 22 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: night when in the overtime, you know, we were at 23 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: Mattie Arena, so we had to drive back to India afterwards. 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: But man, it was worth it. It really was to 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: see those young men who didn't get a chance to 26 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: play last year, kind of especially the first time for 27 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: a lot of them to be a part of it 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: with special Now you had the winners and you had 29 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: the loss, of course, but not getting enough sleep is 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: well worth it. And I know that the headline from 31 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: those games last night was what happened with Coachzo in 32 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: the tunnel right at the end of the first half. 33 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: What did you see? What did you think in the moment? 34 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: And do you still feel the same way that you 35 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: did when you saw it in real time? Well, I mean, 36 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: you understand, I've been covering, you know, Michigan State since 37 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, so this is not the first 38 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: time I've seen in exchanges like that with coaches, whether 39 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: that's with Draymond Green or Kaylin Lucas or Denzel Valentine. 40 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. He opens and invites 41 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: that kind of conversation and that kind of exchanged with 42 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: his players. Now, I think optically it didn't look good 43 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: for people who don't follow Michigan State, and even if 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: they do, it's still optically with a player running off, 45 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: coach grab, player moves again, coach grabs, it doesn't look good. 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: And to boot you had some other interactions within the 47 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: huddle before that. Okay, So I know coaches. I know 48 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: those guys. I know what the meaning behind it is. 49 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: So my perception is different than someone's on the outside 50 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: would just see it optically. Yeah, I understand it, and 51 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: I've known coach for probably twenty five years and I 52 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: know this is his style. It just didn't look good. Yeah, 53 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: because as you know Jim better than me. You know, 54 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: the coach can love you and you know he's so 55 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: invested and it's so important. But he didn't. He loses 56 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: his composure. Coaches are always saying two players, don't lose 57 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: your composure, But then you have coaches who lose their composure. 58 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: That's a teaching moment. Hey, you want to grab day 59 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: Brown and escort him into the locker room. You know 60 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: what happens in the locker room. You can air out 61 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: whatever you want to, and the player can even say 62 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: something back. But not on the basketball floor or in 63 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: the tunnel when the cameras are on you. No, And 64 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: that's the dilemma when you have a passionate coach and 65 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: passionate players like that, where it spills over. And I 66 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: think it's spilled over in two aspects. One bad aspect 67 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: because again the optics didn't look good for coach is Or, 68 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: who's supposed to be the one that calms everybody down 69 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: in regards to when things get out of controls up 70 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: to the coach and kind of reign in the players 71 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: and their emotions. Second, I thought by having too much 72 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: of that, especially in the second half, its splintered some 73 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: chances for Michigan State to be able to take hold 74 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: of the game when they had it. And not just 75 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: what coach Izzo, but once a player begins to defend 76 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: his actions, now he's doing it with his teammates along 77 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: with the coaches. A lot of times you don't hear 78 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: the instructions that someone is trying to give you because 79 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: you're trying to defend your action. And that's what happened 80 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: unfortunately with Michigan Staton. Now I'll say this then the 81 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: difference with this team also a few years ago, with 82 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: even a Cassius Winston or Draymond Green. These guys had control. 83 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: They were natural leaders, didn't Zell Valentine. This team doesn't 84 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: have it. So when it spirals out of control, now, 85 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 1: no one on the court brings the team together because 86 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: you don't have that one leader, that one guy that 87 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: can do that like they've had in the path. Yeah, 88 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: those are all great points. We're talking to. Jim Jackson, 89 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: a former gradedt Ohio State, spent fourteen years in the NBA. 90 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: Fourteen years, right, Yeah, No All Star appearance. No, the 91 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: closest I got was my third year, the year I 92 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: got injured. Um Jamala and I both were right there 93 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: on the cusp, but um Dan Marty got voted in 94 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: as a starter when he played for the Sun and 95 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: the All Star Game was in Phoenix, so that took 96 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: a float away. So I never got a chance to 97 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: play in that game, unfortunately. So that's why you don't 98 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: like Marley. To this day, I can't say I do 99 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: you hold do you do you hold a grudge against 100 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: anybody that you played against to this day? I mean 101 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: because what happened to me happened to me because it 102 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: was a reason you know when I got injured. I 103 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: can't hold that against anybody any at any moment in 104 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: your career. I did, I did, I did. I'm not 105 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: gonna lie. Um, it was an incident that happened with 106 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: Tracy Grady McGrady and I at Houston for one of 107 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: the reasons. Right, Well, I may have got traded or not. 108 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: I believe it was the reason, but I kind of 109 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: I kind of grew up and let that go. Kind 110 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: of what happened, I can't tell you. Well, no, it 111 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: was I got traded right after Christmas, and um, I 112 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: don't know. I heard some stuff in the background about 113 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: how I got traded, and I didn't take to it 114 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: too well, and I kind of confirmed some things, but 115 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: I moved on Pauliere. Tracy McGrady said to Jordan, Hey, 116 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: bring you in. What do you remember the best performance 117 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: you ever saw that you witnessed on the basketball floor? 118 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: You pro Oh? Yeah, I was. I was at the 119 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: game when Michael Jordan hit the U sixty three point 120 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: was it six three pointers against Portland? Yeah? And ninety two? 121 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: So I was. I was in Chicago for the combine, 122 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: So my agent and I went to the game. Okay, 123 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: So that I saw Michael Jordan played before, but that 124 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: was my introduction really into the league itself in a 125 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: championship form. Okay, that's I think that was Game one 126 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: or two of that series and the old Chicago Stadium 127 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: of course, you know, and it was Portland Clyde against Michael. 128 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: It was a championship. It was just electric inside that arena. 129 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: And to see Michael do his thing that day that 130 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: evening was just like I was like, oh man, this 131 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: is what I'm this is what I'm about to get 132 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: involved with that. That was the best. But what happened 133 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: that first time you took the floor and you have 134 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: to guard Jordan? Well, you know, unfortunately, well unfortunately my 135 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: rookie year, I wasn't there because I held out, so 136 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: I missed him before he retired. Remember that, Okay, guys, right, 137 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: So when I finally got a chance to from Michael 138 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: to come back, that was that ninety five season. I 139 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: will say this eerie moment. So we get on the 140 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: court and it's just quiet. Now we're at home in Dallas. 141 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: The fans are screaming, but I don't hear it. Nothing. 142 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: I to see Michael and it's just almost like when 143 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: when I'm guarding him. It was just he and I 144 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: on the court, nobody else. I mean, never had that 145 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: feeling before. Not that I was intimidated by mikeaus. We 146 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: had some games back and forth, but it was just 147 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: this is the goal, this is Michael and if that's 148 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: all I felt and heard was just he and I 149 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: on the court. Did he did he say anything? Oh? 150 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: He talked all kind of stuff. What you mean, I 151 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: was young and I talked stuff back. You know, Mike, 152 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: Mike you he got into his early on. He may 153 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: say something, it depends on how the game is gone. 154 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: But then he'll nudge you along. Especially he'll may say 155 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: some things to the ref about you, but he's talking 156 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: about you about you can't guard him with something like that. 157 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: So it's it's like, but you, but Mike. What I 158 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: found Dan is this Mike along like with Kobe and 159 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: other guys like that. They respect guys who go back 160 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: at him and don't back down. Now, you may not 161 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: get them or be as good as them, don't get 162 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: me wrong, but as long as you show that you 163 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: are a competitor and you compete, those kind of those 164 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: guys respect you. What was the difference between Kobe and Mike. 165 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: Mike didn't take a lot of bad shots. So Mike 166 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: strategically knew how to get to his spots and not 167 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: take a lot of bad shots. Kobe at times would 168 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: force the issue, especially when he was younger. Okay, Kobe 169 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: would bail you out by taking some really tough shots 170 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: and his teammates would get upset. But Michael was so 171 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: surgical and what he did, Okay, even when he was younger. 172 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: He was a volume shooter, but he didn't take a 173 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: lot of bad shots. And that's the difference between the 174 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: two and Kobe I think learned that as he got 175 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: older that he could still get his numbers and points 176 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: without jeopardizing the offense by putting it in a tough 177 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: situation by taking tough shot. I wonder about these guys 178 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: who played in a different era. You know, Bird would 179 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: be dominant now with the three point shot. I don't 180 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: know if Magic would kind of morph into what Jason 181 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: Kidd did, and that is Jason became a very good 182 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: three point shooter. Is Michael going to be a volume 183 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: three point shooter if he was playing now or is 184 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: he going to be like a Durant, like that guy 185 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: who can go midrange if he needs to. So I'm 186 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: always curious about what yesterday would have done today in 187 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: today's game, and the fact you can't put your hands 188 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: on anybody today. Yeah yeah, Well let me let me 189 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: give you a better one. Let me give you of 190 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: guys played back in the day. Okay, and I'm gonna 191 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: answer that question. Let's say Steph Curry. People always talk 192 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: about what Step had he played back in the eighties 193 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: and nineties, he wouldn't be physical enough to play. I said, 194 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: oh hoo, wait, wait, wait a minute, Well, yes, spud 195 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: Web that played, Michael Adams, that played Munksy Bowls, that 196 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: played Deep Brown, that played all guys who are slimmer 197 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: shorter that played And you know why. They grew up 198 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: in that era where they played on the playground, they 199 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: played in the alleys, they played in people's backyards. They 200 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: played a physical game, so they grew up playing that way. 201 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: Step would have been the same way. Step wouldn't have 202 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: been the player we saw we see today because he 203 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: would have grew up playing the game differently. Okay, So 204 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: fast forward. If you put a Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, 205 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: a Magic Johnson in today's game, I said this about 206 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: Alonzo Mourning. Listen, bro, you wouldn't be dominating in the 207 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: post in this era because at the age of ten, eleven, twelve, 208 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: you would be a five man that would pick him pop. 209 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: So your game wouldn't be the same because you grew 210 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: up and being taught to play differently. So Michael, Magic 211 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: Bird all would have different iterations of their game that 212 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: would have changed because the way they grew up playing 213 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: and being taught the game. Now, the attitudes would probably 214 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: still be there, but the games would be different on 215 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: how they approached how they played. In my mind, Phil 216 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: Jackson told me a few years ago that you know, 217 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: you can't put your hand on Mike. He would he 218 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: would average forty a game at least. Is that he 219 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: was close a couple of times, even when even when 220 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: you could, yeah, thirty seven one year, but he might 221 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: have averaged forty five a game. Is that is that? 222 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: You know? Because I don't want to be that. Oh 223 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: I remember, you know that my era, you know and 224 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But what could Mike have averaged forty 225 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: five a game? Yeah? Because we saw Will when nobody 226 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: could guard Will. Now, again, the league was different. You 227 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: didn't have the number of teams when will play maybe 228 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: sixteen at his height, you know, in Eastern and Western 229 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: Division back back then, until he got into the seventies 230 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: and expanded. But Mike was the same way you think 231 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: about it. When he averaged thirty seven, he was still 232 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: learning how to play in his career. Okay, now you 233 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: take away some hand checking a little bit later. That 234 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: gives you more free throws. Okay, had more attempts at 235 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: the basket. So that's really only if you go from 236 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: thirty seven to forty five. Okay, that's four more free throws, 237 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: two more buckets. That's all that is, yeah, per game. 238 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: So it's not unrealistic to think that he could have 239 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: been in that forty to forty five point per game range. 240 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: We're talking to Jim Jackson Turner Sports. He'll be on 241 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: the call. He's got three games coming up this weekend. 242 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: You UNC Greensboro, Florida State, USC, Drake, Gonzaga, Norfolk Stick 243 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: give me the number one seed. Do you think maybe 244 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: a little vulnerable Michigan? Oh, no doubt. And the reason 245 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: why I say it is because Isaiah Livers, their main 246 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: top score is not playing. He had the stress reaction 247 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: in his foot and looks to be out and Dan 248 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: As you know, at this time of season, you have 249 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: an injury like that to a key player, you can't 250 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: replace them. You don't have time to make cup you know, 251 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: filling the substitution pattern one guys that feel comfortable in 252 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: that position enough at this stage when it's a one 253 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 1: game scenario. You know, if this was a Big Ten, 254 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 1: you know, in the Big ten season right going in 255 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: the conference championships, maybe maybe he gets back in hell, 256 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: but right now, not having him on the floor now 257 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: changes the dynamics of how their offense operates. Gives you 258 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: a big body that can stretch and shoot it, a 259 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: leader on the floor and experience, and you can't substitute that. 260 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: So out of the top four seeds, that's the one. 261 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: Because if they get through the first game against Texas Southern, 262 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: they may have to face a tough LSU team that 263 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: took you know, that really played well in the SEC 264 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: championship game against Alabama down to the water, so that 265 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: that itself is a tough matchup if they get there. 266 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: Your junior year, you face the Fab five. Oh yeah, 267 00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: three times? How'd you fair well? I like to believe 268 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: that the first two we dominated, the third one for 269 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: whatever reason, when I go back to Classic Sports and 270 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: it comes on TV the Elite A game and overtime 271 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: we lost, and I keep for some reason, damn thinking 272 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: that the outcome is gonna change. But so I stopped 273 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: watching it. But you know, here's the beauty about that 274 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: Fat five team, and they're all personal, good, great friends 275 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: of mine. I played with Chris Sacramento, played with Jawan 276 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: and Houston, Jimmy Keane was a rookie. He came and 277 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: was a free agent at the Madz and Jalen and 278 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: I know each other well. And Ray Jackson. Great group 279 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: of guys, but they drew from the team that we 280 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: dominated twice in that season to a different, more confident 281 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: group when we played him in the Elite A and 282 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: got to overtime and end up losing. So you know, 283 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: just again, it just wasn't meant to be. But yeah, 284 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: that's my when I played with those guys that they 285 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: hung up over me all the time, all the time, 286 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: all the time. I got you for twenty points in 287 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: that game, actually had twenty four. Twenty four Yeah over time, Paul. 288 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: Check and see if Jim Jackson's adding to his stats there. Yeah, 289 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: I might be, but I swear with mister Jackson. I 290 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: don't want to argue with you. But the box score 291 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: I got you at twenty. In my mind it was 292 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: twenty four. Jim, you would have won if you had 293 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: twenty four. Again, it goes back to my classic story 294 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: where I look at it and I want things to 295 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: be differently. That is great. You're watching the game, you 296 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: know the outcome, and you're gonna want Yeah. But see 297 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: that's it. Isn't that the definition of insanity? Yes? You know. 298 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying you all have it at 299 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: some point. You weren't in Dallas when I came to 300 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: Dallas to have a shooting contest against Jason Kid. No, 301 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: I was. Do you remember when? Because it was Jason's 302 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: rookie year, wasn't it? And he left practice. He said 303 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: he got sick during practice so he didn't have to 304 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: shoot against me. Oh is that what you believe? Oh? 305 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: I know that. But see here we go back then, Jim. 306 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 1: Back then, I could take Jason Kidd and eaton. He'll 307 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: be honest with you. He'll tell you that I could 308 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: absolutely so who wait, wait, wait, wait, let's get this correct. 309 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: We were gonna I remember this. I don't know if 310 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: it was this rookie year or his second year. I 311 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: can't remember the year. But so you're telling me that 312 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: he the professional, yes, professional, yes, said that he's sick 313 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: because he didn't want to lose a damn Patrick. This 314 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: wasn't a passing contest, Jim. It was a shooting contest. Okay, 315 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: but you missed my point, like I'm offending. I'm offended 316 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: that you wouldn't think Jay Kidd could beat me back 317 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: then shooting. Well, and that's just like Jake Kids saying, well, 318 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna come to ESPN and sit in your seat 319 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: an anchor, you know the show, and you decide that 320 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: you get sick and leave. Yes, And if you wouldn't 321 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: do that, if you wouldn't do that, I would sit 322 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: there and wait for him. I wouldn't sick out. I'm 323 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: telling you, Jason Kids sicked out of practice that day. 324 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: I believe it, Jim, I don't believe. I'll believe it. 325 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: I'll swear on my guys. Hey, let's swear on my guy. 326 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: Jason Kidd will tell you that he's sicked, Yes, he will, 327 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: all right, Okay, when you'd see Jason Kidd next time, 328 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: all you need to do is go, Hey, hey, Jason, 329 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: I talked to Dan Patrick. You said that you sicked out, 330 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: didn't want to shoot against him, but he came. I 331 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: came to Dallas just to shoot against him. Jim, Yeah, 332 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: I made a No. I believe your intentions are right. 333 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: I really do. There's no there's no intention. No. I 334 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: believe your intention to come there and shoot him was true. Yes, 335 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: I was gonna and I believe you really think you 336 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: could win. I do believe that. Oh I could have won. 337 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: I don't believe the rest of them. Why didn't you? 338 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: Why don't you text him since you know him, and 339 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 1: then maybe call Fritzie back and apologize for doubting me. 340 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: I'm a bucket, Jim, I don't. I know, but I 341 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: don't have his number. Oh one eight hundred, can't shoot. 342 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: But it's funny. He ended up being all time a 343 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: three points shot made. How crazy is that? And look 344 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: at what I did for his career? Yeah? I motivated him? 345 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: Did I motivated him? And Brook Lopez? Yeah?

Have you ever called 395 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: at college basketball game near Jim You know I did. 396 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: Very early in my career. I called games for the 397 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: basketball program at the Art Institute of Kansas City. Very 398 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: very bad team, filled with performance artists and interpretive dancers 399 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: and mimes. Very frustrating because they could do very impressive 400 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: physical feats, but they had no clue how to play basketball. 401 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: It was like watching a bizarro version of the Harlem 402 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: Globe Shotters. But the mimes are very good at boxing 403 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: people out. Dan, You see what I did there with 404 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: the boxing? You see that? See see what you did there, Jimmy, 405 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: you set them up, you knock them down. Yeah, I 406 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: went old school with you on that one. I don't 407 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: know why I always want to imitate your voice when 408 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking to you, you just you have that unique delivery, 409 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: and I always want to get into Jimmy Brockmeyer. Maybe 410 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: I was wanting, you know, I was a kid growing 411 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: up listening to you, and maybe I don't know, maybe 412 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: tried to emulate you a little bit. It gets in there, 413 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: doesn't it. It's like it's like I'm like your jim 414 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: in a cricket. I'm like the voice of your conscience. 415 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: It's like embedded. Would you rather go out for beers 416 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: with Vince Scully or the late Harry Carry? Oh what 417 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: a wonderful question, you know, I mean the aby I've 418 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: been with both. The obvious answer is Harry Carry. I'm 419 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: going to say Vince Scully because here's the thing about Vin. 420 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: He does not come out for beers. He goes out 421 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: for a beer and then Liza's was true in the 422 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: eighties when I went out with him without telling anybody Dan. 423 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: He likes to drop acid and it turns into a 424 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: crazy evening. I mean, if you think here in Vince 425 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: Scully called a baseball game is perfection, just wait to 426 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: hear him narrate his own mental journey into the fourth 427 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: Dimensionum it remains One of my most treasured memories as 428 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: a baseball announcer is watching a shirtless Vince Scully describe 429 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: the Aya God and the chabez Ravine parking lot, or 430 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: trying to ride a coyote like a horse, which he 431 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: did do. It's a good thing there was in social 432 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: media back then. Yeah, it would have been that. I 433 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: never would have filmed. N Well, actually I probably would 434 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: have been posted. I mean, it's a strong accusation what 435 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: you just made. It's not an accusation, it's a it's 436 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: a celebration. How many plaid jackets do you have? I have? 437 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: I have two. This was the original. Uh, this was 438 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: eighteen dollars, and then they made another one for me 439 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: because it got a little got a little seedy and smelly, 440 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: so I had to have another go to. Yeah, when 441 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: people see you on the street, what did they say 442 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: to you? Uh? You, Well, they usually avoid eye contact 443 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: with me, several of them. Several of them I've had 444 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: run ins with. Often I never know who I'm so 445 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: much of my life has been blacked out that I 446 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: never know have people come up to me accusing me 447 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: of stuff. And I used to take umbridge and I 448 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: realized They're probably right. I probably didn't do that. So 449 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: uh but you know they say, hey, aren't you that guy? 450 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: And I say, oh, you know, I'm wanted in several states. 451 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: So you probably have seen my picture at the post office. 452 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: When did drinking on the air start? I think it's 453 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: as old as time, isn't it. I mean, for me, 454 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: right from the beginning. I mean, I was the youngest 455 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: youngest man ever, youngest person to ever call a professional 456 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: baseball game. I was twenty one years old and I 457 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: started right in. I learned from the best. I didn't 458 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 1: know that you could actually could call a game without it, 459 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: that was possible? Is it? So you can get this? 460 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: It makes baseball tolerable if you've been drinking. I mean, 461 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: who I guess Joe Buck just shared, Yes, he did that. 462 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: He and Troy like to have a couple. Um. You know. 463 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: I look, I don't know about football, but baseball, man, 464 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: you gotta fill a lot of time with a lot 465 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: of words. Dan Patrick, I mean it does make it 466 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: a lot easier. I mean, there's a reason why fans 467 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: enjoy beer at the game. It's no different than the announcers. 468 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to get through that thing. Somehow, 469 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: are you okay with implementing digital strikes on They're gonna 470 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna do that in the minor leagues, but uh, 471 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: and then I guess see how that works and bring 472 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: it into the nature's Yeah, I've accepted. I don't know 473 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: if I'm okay with it. I've accepted it as inevitable. 474 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: I have a tinge of disappoint about it, because I 475 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: do love the uncertainty of the human umpire. I mean, 476 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: there's nothing like being in a stadium packful of people 477 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: waiting anxiously to hear the opinion of an out of 478 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: shape middle aged man. You know, It's an experience you 479 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: usually only get at baseball games at the Republican National Convention. 480 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: But I hope the hope the digital strike zones do 481 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: have some variability, you know, keep a little of that 482 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: human umpire craziness, like every every April Fool's Day. I 483 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: love it. If there's a knob they can turn that 484 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: sets the machine to like Angel Hernandez or something. I'm 485 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 1: gonna miss seeing managers argue with these guys. I think 486 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: at the very least, they should allow teams to have 487 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: a robot assistant coach one that's programmed to fight with 488 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: the umpire, like a tiny little one with a Chicago 489 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: White Sox hat on a little Tony Larumba and he 490 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: can roll out there and yelly Efford and spray dust 491 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: on home plate or something. He used the legendary Jim 492 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,719 Speaker 1: Brockmeyer the Minor League Baseball play by playboys. Best advice 493 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: you give to those that would like to try to 494 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: succeed in this field? What would it be? Boy?

But I'm lucky enough 540 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: to get hired. I'm gonna take that advice with me. 541 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: How's your love life? By the way, Uh, disturbing as usual? Um? 542 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: In between in between women quite literally, like you can't 543 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: see it? Wait, there are two women in there? Yeah 544 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: on either side. Wow. Yeah, it's like those TV shows 545 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: from the seventies. You still love that that cliche from 546 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: TV shows and guys would walk in with two babes 547 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: on their arms. Yeah. I never saw that in real life, 548 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: did you. No? No, I didn't. I'm still looking for it, 549 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: but I've not seen it like I dream of Genie 550 00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: is not real. No, pretty sure that that was not 551 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: a documentary. No, no, it was not. So you're in 552 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: the bracket challenge. Apparently you guys asked me to do it, 553 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: so I did it. Yeah, and uh, do you have 554 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: any idea what you're doing? Well, you know, I'll tell you. 555 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: You asked me to do it, so you know, I 556 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: try to take it serious. Last but I stared at 557 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: this bracket for like fifteen minutes, mostly just trying to care, 558 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: trying to work up some way to care about it. 559 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: Couldn't do that. Failed at that, but you know, I 560 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: under normal circumstances, I find it. Who cares? But this 561 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: year it's really weird. I think it's strange. We've trapped 562 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of college students in a hotel for our amusement. 563 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: Sounds more like the premise of a pornographic film. But 564 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, I did the bracket. So my process was 565 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: I started by writing two of the final four at 566 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: Oral Roberts. Oral Roberts a more head state. I know 567 00:31:54,680 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: that's immature, don't care. Work backwards from that. In the Midwest, 568 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: I have loyal to Chicago getting knocked out in the 569 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: first round. Apologies to Sister Jean, and I wasn't allow 570 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: to write this in the prediction, but I believe that 571 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: due to a combination of COVID nineteen and the power 572 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: of Sister Jean's Christian prayer, Loyola Chicago will rise again 573 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: in the third round lack of Jesus, but then lose 574 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: again immediately to Illinois. So never grow up, Jimmy, Okay, 575 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: I will not I will not go. And I wish 576 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: you well with that podcast there and and I hope 577 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: to talk to you soon.

Jimmy Brockmeyer. Yes. Point. 588 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes if you watch the Cup, what's the Cubs channel, 589 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: Marquete Network or yeah, you could see old Cubs games, 590 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: and I think people'll be shocked to hear that announcers 591 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: really did drink on the air. Carry Carry, It's like 592 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: that novelty. He used to do one show a summer 593 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: out in the bleachers and they would set up a 594 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: card table, maybe him and Steve Stone, whoever the guy 595 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: was with him, and there'd be a tall boy a 596 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: Budweiser right next to him, not like hidden in the 597 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: side where you couldn't see it, because Budweiser was a sponsor. 598 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: Harry would crack it. As the first ending started and 599 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: it was hot, he would take his shirt off on 600 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: national I'm not kidding on he didn't take the shirt 601 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: off if you got a little hot in the bleachers. 602 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: It's like something from a movie. I'm glad I met 603 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: Harry before he passed away. When I was in Chicago, 604 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: and I spent a lot of time in Chicago, obviously 605 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: with the Bulls, and I was covering the Bulls when 606 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: they got to the playoffs, certainly in the NBA Finals, 607 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: and I went to a Cubs game and I was 608 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: there for batting practice, so I was down on the 609 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: field and I remember saying to somebody in the PR department, 610 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: I said, you know, could I meet Harry And he 611 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: said yeah, yeah, And then I said, well, you'd let 612 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: me know what I need to do. He goes, Okay. 613 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: He comes up to me like five minutes later, he goes, 614 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: Harry's coming down. I go, Harry's coming down, and I 615 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: said I would go up. He came down. Could not 616 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: have been nicer and just funny, playful, but I got 617 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: that opportunity to meet him. And I remember when he 618 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: died going to his bar, Harry Cares and had a 619 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: toast to Harry. Carry all right, we'll take a break, 620 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 1: last call for phone calls, and Mario has to take 621 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: a pie to the face.

And Mario does a great job with 623 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 1: the newsletter, but he made a mistake.

Are you sure that 632 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: I know for sure? I don't even need a source 633 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: on that. And if Drew Scott gets the job at Indiana, 634 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: then I will take a pie to the face.

Well, by the way, 662 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: he speaking of basketball, did you see last night with 663 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,720 Speaker 1: the Hornets and the Lakers? Lebron was great. LaMelo Ball 664 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,720 Speaker 1: was awesome, not necessarily going toe to toe with Lebron, 665 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: but he's doing some some big boy things there. And 666 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 1: then you have LaVar Ball dad, who wants the Pelicans 667 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: to trade Lonzo saying, quote, he can't stay in New Orleans. 668 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: You know, just let let your kids like, let them 669 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: have their own lives. There you know a boy. But 670 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 1: Lamello's playing great. Lonzo is shooting better, and there's talk 671 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: that maybe the New York Knicks might be a destination 672 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: for him. Let me see Josh in La Hi, Josh, 673 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: what do you have for me today?

I screwed 681 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,359 Speaker 1: up his transaction, so I had to redo the transaction 682 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: right in front of him. They were like twenty people 683 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 1: in line waiting behind him. Was so embarrassing, but he 684 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: was the nicest guy ever, and it was a fairly 685 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: big check. And then laughing was the coach at the time, 686 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: and I asked him how he thought the team would 687 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,320 Speaker 1: do it. He just said, I think Bill, you'd fine. 688 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: I think he was just trying to be polite.
