1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: Well, I like to thank the Miami Heat for participating

Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty three NBA Finals, although to the

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: untrained die you may not realize that the Heat are

00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: seven and five on the road in these playoffs. So

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: there's that. And on that note, yep, you heard the man.

Speaker 2: to Vegas Massive updates there as well, much much more,

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: But the story, the biggest story of the week. And

21
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: it's not close. It's highly charged. And the irity here is,

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: you know, we partake in sports, we watch sports, we

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: enjoy sports. We don't have royalty in this country. Our

24
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: athletes and our entertainers, and our athletes are entertainers, they

25
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: are our royalty. So we enjoy and consume and partake

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: in sports because it temporarily helps us to forget man's

27
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: inhumanity to man, although some sports stories might remind folks

28
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: of man's in humanity to man. So, unless you've been

29
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: under a rock or just not paying attention, you probably

30
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: heard that the Live and PGA Golf organizations will merge. Now,

31
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: what I want to do is just stick to the

32
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: facts here when I'm not going to solve the world's problems.

33
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: No matter what side you take on this, a man

34
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: convinced against his will is of the same opinion still, so,

35
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: irrespective of where you weigh in, I want to report

36
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: it from a factual standpoint, because you simply put, desperate

37
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 2: people do desperate things. Desperate is a fair word, it's

38
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: an operative word. The Live was desperate for eyeballs, they're

39
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: desperate for legitimately legitimacy. I'm desperate for legitimate language, legitimacy.

40
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: The Live was desperate for eyeballs, a bona fide TV

41
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: contract and legitimacy. Meanwhile, the PGA was very much in

42
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: need of money, maybe desperate, hence the marriage a true

43
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: quick pro quote and what God has joined together, let

44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: no man put us under tr like that. These two

45
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: headstrong organizations, they have not stopped pissing on each other's

46
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: shoes while burning millions of dollars. And let's face it,

47
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: this is probably a decision based on emotion, which is

48
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: what most people do. If you're listening, you do too.

49
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: If you don't believe people make decisions on emotion and

50
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: justify it later with logic, then you wouldn't sell three

51
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: cars a year in this country. Take a look at this, Okay.

52
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: The PGA tourists spent the better half of a year

53
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: doing everything in its power to distance themselves from live golf.

54
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: They're their rival circuit that signed away some of the

55
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: best players that happened to be funded by the Saudi

56
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: Arabia Public Investment Firm the Pif lawsuits were file, players

57
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: are banned from the tour. Sports washing, name calling, blood money.

58
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: These are all the common phrases that people were mentioning

59
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: in every turn by every sports outlet, and you planted

60
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: your flag on one Saturday. There was no gray area

61
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: on this one. The perceived notion was at the PGA

62
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: Tour and l I and Live Golf would would never,

63
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: would never come close to working with one another. I

64
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: always believed they would merge. I said it on my

65
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: shows last summer, but most assumed the two would remain

66
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: separate at ease and then continue to fight and battle,

67
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: and they'd do. They're arguing in the courtroom, and many

68
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: believe this Saudis might well, they might just take their

69
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: money elsewhere and Live would one day dissolve. I never

70
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: believed that. I never did. Three days Shy the one

71
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: year anniversary or the inaugural LIV event, the PGA Tour

72
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: announced that they've agreed to merge. There's a partnership now

73
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: they're combining their businesses and as it has been explained,

74
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: LIV Golf will now technically be dissolved. Well, PIFF will

75
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: pick up a very large seat at the table when

76
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: it comes to operation to the PGA to and the

77
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: DP World Tour. Now the key points again they agreed

78
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: to merge back by Saudi Arabia a public investment fund

79
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: which you hear you'll hear PIF and it's controlled by

80
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: the Saudi Crown Prince lawsuits they I'll go by the

81
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: wayside now no more, Judge Wabner, goodnight, thanks for playing

82
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: the deal ends all pending litigation now. I think secretly

83
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: a lot of golfers are very happy about this. I

84
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: remember back in nineteen ninety seven I covered an event

85
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: in Dearborn, Michigan at the TPC and it was actually

86
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: a senior event and Lee Trevino was teeing off and

87
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: as you all know, Lee can be a little saucy,

88
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: and it was a fairly large gallery that day, and

89
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 2: someone was talking and Lee got it addressed before the

90
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: golf ball and then step back and looked into the

91
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: crown and says, hey, shut up, stop talking, And the

92
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,239
Speaker 2: guy barked back at Lee. He says, what's your problem? Lee?

93
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: Cecil Fielder comes to the plate and fifty thousand people

94
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: are blown. He doesn't tell everybody's shut up, and then

95
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: he says, yeah, Cecil Fielder can strack out four times

96
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: a day and get paid. I got a win to

97
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: get paid, And secretly, I really believe that deep down,

98
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: it was a matter of time before the LIV would

99
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: siphon off more and the product would be diluted. From

100
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 2: the standpoint of the infighting between the two entities would

101
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: just ultimately embarrass golf further. It's so tough to make

102
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: it on the tour, and to the people who took

103
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: the money not knowing this would happen. And to the

104
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: people like Rory McElroy who want to play the victim.

105
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: He's become a sec official lamb, he says, not a

106
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: lamb alum. Hey, look you made your call, buddy, stick

107
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: with it. Were you a grand standing or feel proud

108
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: of yourself? Some people didn't take the money either side. Look,

109
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: they did what they believed was best for them and

110
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: their families at the time. That's the way life works, man.

111
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: You don't always you predicted the future as hard ask

112
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: Yo Giberra. You know, do you think Fred Flintstone would

113
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: have ordered that rack of ribs if you know who's

114
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: gonna tip his car over? No, but that's the way

115
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: life works. He pays your money, it takes your chances.

116
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: So the question is who's the real winner here? Who wins? Well?

117
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: The truth is both live and PGA are gonna benefit

118
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: tremendously from this merger. Might seem like a bit of

119
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: a cop out answer, but that doesn't mean it's not

120
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: the wrong it's the wrong one because the PGA will

121
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: say they weren't struggling financially, but they didn't have unlimited pockets. Sorry.

122
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 2: The same cannot be said for PIFF and Live Golf.

123
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: They don't have a limit six hundred million, seven hundred million,

124
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: maybe a trillion. When it comes to money, the Saudi's

125
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: clearly made the tour an offer they could not refuse.

126
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: Now it appears Greg Norman and Jay Monaghan, depending on

127
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: your perspective, are winners or losers. I don't know, but

128
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: this new partnership is going to, you know, eliminate and

129
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: erase all conversations about whether or not tournament persons are

130
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: lucrative enough, or if the top players in the world

131
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: are being compensated fairly. See, everybody can have their own

132
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: opinion about where the money's coming from. Any of these

133
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: financial cause headaches the tour we're having are now gone gone.

134
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: Maybe they took blood, bunny, I don't know. I'm not

135
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: here to judge anybody tonight. There's no way you're going

136
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: to please everybody. I'm just trying to share with what happened,

137
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: how it was predictable, who's going to benefit and you

138
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: know live they put most of their chips to the

139
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: front of the table, hoping to form something similar like

140
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: what was done in formula on racing. That's not easy

141
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: to do. That's not easy to do. The reality of

142
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: it is, if golf fans can take politics out of

143
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: the equation, there's no question this is a win for

144
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: golf fans around the world. They should actually be happy

145
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: with the merger if you're just sticking with the game

146
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: of golf. Because after all this drama is over, and

147
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: the fund subsides and everybody goes back to their corner

148
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: and all the you know, people stop throwing grenades at

149
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: each other. You're going to see probably a lot of

150
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: things for the golf in that they will find to

151
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: their enjoyment, including you know, all the top players and

152
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: all the major tournaments, and of course the major stand

153
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: tact right and the details are a little bit in

154
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: the air. The future is a little unclear, but I

155
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: think you're going to see the best players in the

156
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: world playing against each other on a far more consistent

157
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: basis right. So you've got Cam Smith, Brooks Kopka, just

158
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: Dustin Johnson, the rest of Live. They're not going to

159
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: be teeened up alongside John Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, Rory Mcelroyan's

160
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: be the whole rest of the homeless pooka. And it's

161
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: tell me that's not good for golf fans. Okay, no

162
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: more litigation, garbage, just more golf. And obviously the sports

163
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: media will continue to take a stance depending on who

164
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 2: you are, what your thoughts are, and how you want

165
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 2: to grandstand. And we're going to be, like we do

166
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: with most things, We're going to continue the reportage on

167
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: this development ongoing because this I believe the story is

168
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: his fluid. But let me leave you with this thought. Okay,

169
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is we've all got a

170
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: price as long as you're not breaking the law. Everybody's

171
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: got a price. You may or may not have heard

172
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: the story of the guy who walks into the bar

173
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 2: and goes up to the most beautiful girl who's ever

174
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: seen and he says, would you go to bed with

175
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: me for a million dollars? She's a million dollars? Yeah,

176
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: I'd have to would you go to bed with me

177
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: for ten dollars, What do you think I am prostitute? Well,

178
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: we've already established that. Now now we're negotiating price. You

179
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: get the picture. So before we become two juntmental and

180
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: too sanctimonious, let's take a look at this for what

181
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: it is. You had two sides that decided to make

182
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 2: this equid pro quo. And by the way, if you're

183
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: a Premier League fan, I believe Saudi money is well

184
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: invested there. And I'm not going to go over the

185
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: litany of American companies that are funded by Saudi money

186
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: right on donald line. Let's just set that aside for

187
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: just a second. Coming up the Oaklands to Vegas. What

188
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: a roller coaster. And we've been bringing it to you

189
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: all along. You may heard me on with Arnie and

191
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: multiple new developments, and that's just since Tuesday. Alan Snoell

Speaker 2: at eleven forty five, will take the first six callers.

209
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: So if you heard me Tuesday night on with Steve

210
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: de Seger and Arnie Spaniards sitting in for Jason and Mike,

211
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: we talked about the latest progress or lack thereof, with

212
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: the a's coming to Vegas. And that was a pivotal

213
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: day because Monday night, at midnight, the eighty second Legislative

214
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: Session adjourned, and it adjourned without even voting on bill

215
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: five nine SP five oh nine, which was the state

216
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 2: bill that would bring the ace to Vegas. So the

217
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: only way that this conversation would be able to continue

218
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: would be to arrange a special session, which I said

219
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 2: would happen within a week or two. So what has

220
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: happened since Tuesday? Well, first of all, just so you know,

221
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 2: so people understand the politics. Here the reason the session

222
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: adjourned Monday without any vote. And what you need. We

223
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: have twenty one senators State Senators. You need eleven to

224
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: ten vote simple majority to advance to the State Assembly,

225
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: which there would also be the wrestling matches there as well.

226
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 2: So this is a tedious process. It's not easy. Anybody

227
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: who thought the A's would just show up like the

228
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 2: Raiders did. Totally different dynamic. And I'll make the distinction

229
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: between those two in a minute. So Monday night, the

230
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: session adjourn and Governor Lombardo said he would not sign

231
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: into bills implementing the state budget until his priorities were passed.

232
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: This is Monday night. Now. That was in response to

233
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: the Democratic legislative leaders saying they would not approve or

234
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: move forward with any major policy bills until the budget

235
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: is proved. Now, you see here you have you have

236
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: a standoff. So the Friday night before week could go now,

237
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: Governor Lombardo announced the video of the Nevada state budget

238
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: proposal after Friday night, and then the Senate demons, well

239
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: they previously said they'd pass zero bills, so on and

240
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: so forth. You get the picture, right, So most told

241
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: me special sessions would ultimately get scheduled, just just like

242
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: it was for the Raiders and Allegian Stadium, and somehow,

243
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: somehow this would squeeze through route. Well, yes, the next

244
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: day a special session was announced to deal with the

245
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: budget and some policy, some bills, and they made some progress.

246
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: So then an additional special session was called and they

247
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: began to deliberate on SB five O nine, the bill

248
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: to bring the East to Vegas on Thursday. But I'll

249
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: mind you this is not necessarily even a popular event

250
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: in and of itself, because these special sessions, well they

251
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: cost about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a day

252
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: currency the taxpayers. Well, Thursday rolled around and we believe

253
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: there might be a vote. My Vario Moles tell me

254
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: that they were eight for it, eight against it, and

255
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: five undecided. So they decided to adjourn till Monday, so

256
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: there was no vote Thursday, there was no vote Friday,

257
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: there won't be one over the weekend, and we're looking

258
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: at Monday. There's no guarantees. We don't know what's going

259
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: to happen at this point. I know that that the

260
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: A's have a lot of lobbyists here in town and

261
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: there I think there's a lot of horse trading going on,

262
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: and there will probably be amendments drawn up, and there's

263
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: a situation where perhaps there'll be sweeteners for the city

264
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: of Las Vegas and Clark County. I don't know. I

265
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: know that we are in a quandary here because the

266
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: debate on this bill has been tabled till Monday, and

267
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: the longer it goes, I think it gets worse and

268
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: worse for the A's and the longer it gets drawn out. Yes,

269
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: I realize there'll be amendments made to the bill, but

270
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: it's unclear what those entail, or whether those changes would

271
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: motivate people who are voting against it or motivate people

272
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: who are undecided to help pass the bill. Remember, originally

273
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: the A's wanted five hundred million in public funding for

274
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: the ballpark. That's when the original location was going to

275
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: be over off a Dean Martin west of the two

276
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: west of the fifteen freeway of the old Wild West area.

277
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: Now that's been moved. The artist renderings you saw, which

278
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: are just renderings over at there where the Tropicana resides.

279
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: Now they're looking for eight three hundred and eighty million.

280
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: There's no guarantee this bill will pass without state funding.

281
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: It appears that it's impossible the ballpark will be built.

282
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 2: Right there's no indication in the city Las Vegas they

283
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: have a funding plan in case it's not agreed to.

284
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: It's going to be a matter of bonds and a

285
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: matter of a potential tax district. And what does that

286
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: task district means? Between you build the stadium, there's a

287
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: result in commerce around the stadium. Right there are our

288
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: restaurants or our bars, or our hotels, there's commercial real estate,

289
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: and those entities ostensibly will generate property taxes, in payroll

290
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: taxes and perhaps sales tax and that money would go

291
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 2: into the coffers, which would held help offset the bonds

292
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 2: that are sold. That's the idea, But would it be

293
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: enough to generate three hundred and eighty million dollars? Well,

294
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: we don't know. We don't know, right, and so there

295
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: are also you know, there there were allegations that, well,

296
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: the study showed that by virtue of the Oakland A's

297
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: being in Las Vegas, that would attract an additional four

298
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: hundred thousand visitors per year. Do we know that to

299
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: be true? And if you dole that out on a

300
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 2: linear basis, that's maybe an extra five thousand fans per game.

301
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 2: That's been somewhat debunked. And what's really interesting here is

302
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: I really think that the owner the of the A's,

303
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 2: John Fisher, who's a billionaire, who's the heir to the

304
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: Gap fortune. I really believe he thought he would just

305
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 2: show up. This would be easy. He just you know,

306
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: he'd play around in the Bay Area, try to get

307
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: a new stadium. If that didn't materialize, he's bolt for Vegas.

308
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: Major Leagues Baseball is blessing. Everybody gets richer in the process.

309
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: I think Fisher's assumption was that the Raiders move. Hey,

310
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: that went through the Golden Knights. They sell out their arena,

311
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: simple as that, easy peasy. But the Raiders, you know,

312
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 2: the Olkland A's weren't really invited here. They showed up

313
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: on their own hat in hand and said, by the way,

314
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: can we have three hundred and eighty million dollars? And

315
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: if you watch some of these proceedings, a lot of

316
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 2: these politicians and a lot of the people who weighed

317
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: in in the public, very articulate people, very interesting, very

318
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 2: thoughtful questions, wanting to know, Wait a minute, if we

319
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 2: have this kind of money, why aren't we funding our

320
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: schools better? We ranked forty eighth. Why can't we build

321
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: a children's hospital? What's happening here now? One of the reasons,

322
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: let's draw a juxtaposition, because there's an auditory there. I

323
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 2: think there was an assumption that because the Raiders came

324
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 2: to Vegas and they're from Oakland, well, hey, these will

325
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: just come too. One of the reasons the Raiders relocation

326
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: was so successful. It began with a gentleman by the

327
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: name of shel Van Ailson, the philanthropists, the CEO of

328
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: Sands address his soul. He liked Mark Davis, and he

329
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: wanted to help Mark Davis get a stadium. On's all

330
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 2: Mark Davis ever wanted. He wanted one in Oakland, couldn't

331
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: get one. As a matter of fact, my understanding, the

332
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 2: A's did their best to stand in the way of

333
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 2: the Raiders getting a stadium. So once Sheldon Adilson PLTS

334
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: six hundred and fifty million with his you know, his

335
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: political might, he got the CEOs of MGM and Segars

336
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: on board and it was off and running to Governor

337
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 2: Brian Sandoval. At the time. Sandoval convinced the state legislature

338
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: the new stadium would solidify Las Vegas is an international

339
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: tourist attraction given all the additional events, whether it's Taylor

340
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: Swift or the K pop band or sock all kinds

341
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: of stuff, game, set match, but there was still opposition. Today,

342
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: Sheldon Adilson is no longer with US and Governor Sandoval

343
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: is no longer in office. So eight weeks ago it's

344
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: announced that the A's are coming. Really and you heard

345
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: me many times. Wait a minute, this is being irresponsibly reported,

346
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: journalistically irresponsible the time, no stadium rendering, no architectural firm

347
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: that I know of. The tax district proposal was not clear.

348
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 2: The resulting revenue from the property tax and payroll tax

349
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: and sales taxes were somewhat debunked. The estimated four hundred

350
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: thousand transient tourists that were correlated to the a's home

351
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: games has been ostensibly overstated. This appears to be dysfunctional.

352
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: Even the bill itself is nonspecific in terms of the site.

353
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: This will pick up again Monday. We'll continue to cover it.

354
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: It's going to come to a head one way or another,

355
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: but I promise, through my Twitter account as well as

356
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 2: our repetage, our reportage here on Fox Sports Radio and

357
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 2: my show, we will keep you up to date.

358
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 3: Right now.

359
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: I think it's a fifty to fifty deal and it's

360
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: being covered as a national news story, so not hard

361
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 2: to find. But you got to be careful because a

362
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: lot of what's said isn't particularly accurate. Coming up, we

363
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: got a whale of a Stanley Cup Finals going on

364
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: between our Vegas Gold of Knights and the Florida Panthers.

365
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: In sports fans saw something first hand Thursday you don't

366
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: often see. I'll share it with you in WRE. I

367
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 2: think this series heads next, but first let's go to

368
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 2: our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

369
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 4: All right, Bernie, While the Miami he fans saw something

370
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 4: they'd rather not see that was an Aaron Gordon going

371
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: off twenty seven points a playoff career high for Aaron Gordon,

372
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 4: helping the Denver Nuggets clinch a one away to ninety

373
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 4: five victory in Miami Friday night. The are now just

374
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 4: one victory away from clinching their first NBA championship in

375
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: franchise history. Nicola Jokic not a bad game himself, twenty

376
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 4: three points, twelve boards, three steals, four block shots, and

377
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 4: four assists. Game five returns to Denver on Monday nights

378
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 4: in Major League Baseball shoo time. He struck out six

379
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 4: batters in five innings. He also hit a home run

380
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 4: for the Angels. They defeated Seattle five to four, Padres

381
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 4: getting home run for Fernando Tazzis Junior and Manny Machado

382
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 4: in a nine to six victory. In Colorado, Cleveland defeated

383
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: Houston ten to nine and fourteen innings. White Sox walked

384
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 4: off the Marlins Tampa Bay in eight to three win

385
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: over Texas. The Braids picked up their sixth trade victory

386
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: after beating Washington. The Red Sox getting home runs from

387
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 4: Rafeo Devers and Keiky Hernandez, and they win over the Yankees.

388
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh hammert the Mets fourteen to seven, adding injury to

389
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 4: insult for the Mets, Pete A Lonzo will miss at

390
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 4: least three weeks of action with a wrist injury.

391
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 5: Back to Bernie Freddo.

392
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Kevin so. The Stanley Cuff Finals underway

393
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: Game four Saturday night, five pm Pacific, eight pm Eastern

394
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 2: in Florida, and the first couple of games. The Golden

395
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: Knights as impressive as anybody in the history in the

396
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: Stanley Cuff Finals. They outscored the Panthers twelve to four

397
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: in the first two games. Of the seventh team to

398
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 2: outscore their opponents by eight or more goals through the

399
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: first two games of the Stanley Cuff Final. By the way,

400
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: each of the previous seven went on to win. Checked

401
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: that previous six went on to win the series. So

402
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: the Golden Knights get out two zip and plenty of

403
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: statistics there in the history of the NHL and Stanley

404
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 2: Cuff Finals win a when one of the teams starts

405
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: out with a two to lead in the series, they're

406
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: thirty one and three to finish the job. But I

407
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: covered one of those three in two thousand and nine

408
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 2: in Detroit when the Red Wings got out on the

409
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: Penguins two games to Zip and the Penguins came roaring back.

410
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: And the next thing, you know, Game seven in Detroit

411
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: and goalie in Pittsburgh by the name of Marc Andre

412
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: Fleury stole the show and broke the Red Wings hearts.

413
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: Two years later, same thing happened to Vancouver. Vancouver got

414
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: out two nothing on Boston, Boston came rowing back, won

415
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: the series in seven. And you may remember some incredible visuals.

416
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: Vancouver basically burned the damn city down. But I digress.

417
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: Thursday night, you saw firsthand something that you don't see often,

418
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 2: but when you see it, it sticks in your mind.

419
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 2: You saw firsthand what it looks like for a goalie

420
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: to steal a game. Sergei Bobrowski stole that game Thursday

421
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 2: night for the Florida Panthers, and this can be very subtle. Look,

422
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 2: the Golden Knights carried the play almost the entire second

423
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 2: period and well out of the third, but a lot

424
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 2: of tea saves, incredible saves by Brabrowski, enabled Florida to

425
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 2: hang around. So instead of the Golden Knightes going up

426
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: three to one, they led two to one, and then

427
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: you know they were in position to win, which is

428
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: a philosophy of the late great Jimmy Valvano. He always

429
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: wanted his teams to stay in position to win them

430
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: Panthers stayed in position to win. They did enough, and

431
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: they're gritty, they're gutty. They came back down three to

432
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 2: one against Boston, the winningest team of all time in

433
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: the regular season, came back down from three games to one.

434
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 2: They trailed in Game seven in Boston with a minutes ago.

435
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: Matthew Kachuck did what he does. That game goes overtime.

436
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 2: You know what happened there. And then they beat a

437
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 2: very good Toronto team. I don't care what Toronto's done

438
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: in the playoffs the last fifty years. They were very

439
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 2: good this year. And then they swept a very good

440
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: Carolina Panther team. A couple of interesting things about this series.

441
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: The Golden Knights have been sensational on the power play,

442
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 2: and that's not something they have been great at in

443
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 2: the last few years. But all of a sudden in

444
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 2: the finals, Florida has spent you know, been sixteen trips

445
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: to the penalty box, the sin bin, and somehow when

446
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: Golden Knights have managed to score on seven of those,

447
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 2: it's like, and you know, the Golden Knights have had

448
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 2: two power play goals in each of the first three games. Meanwhile,

449
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: Florida h for twelve in the power play. Interestingly enough

450
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: of what you call course five on five hockey, Florida's

451
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: actually been better, more shots on goal, more high danger chances.

452
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: This is ironic because during the regular season the Golden

453
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: Knights were tremendous five on five, but in the in

454
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 2: the series, they've been highly effective on the power play.

455
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: So can that continue? Can that continue? We're gonna find

456
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 2: out Saturday, because things have a tendency to progress or regress.

457
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 2: To the meme, if Florida can't get past their discipline,

458
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: they'll take keep taking more trips to the box. But

459
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: they did have a very pivotal penalty kill in game

460
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: in Game three, a minute forty six into overtime, and

461
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 2: that may have changed things around. We're gonna see then

462
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: Cardiver Haag scores the game winner for twenty seven into overtime.

463
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: And you know, there were various key events in the game.

464
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: Matthew Kuchuk had to lead the game for seventeen minutes,

465
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: Keek and Cola Sar put up on his butt return

466
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: in the favor for what Kachuck did to Jack Eichel

467
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: with his head down the game before and and you know,

468
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: Colo Sar stood above him try to taunt him, which

469
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: is a complete waste of time. But Panthers special teams

470
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: are struggling. And after they beat three of the top

471
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: four teams in the NFL to advance the Stanley Cup,

472
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: they're you know, and there's seven I know, by the

473
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: way in overtime, their power play is not getting done.

474
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 2: So this will either be a big swing game or not.

475
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: I give it up to Jonathan Marshall Show. He's still

476
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 2: on fire. He scored his thirteenth goal in thirteen games.

477
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: That ties him with Leon dry Sidle for the lead

478
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. He's in an offensive tear. He's doing

479
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 2: what I thought they were paying Jack Eichel to do.

480
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 2: But Jack Eichel has been a very good, complimentary player,

481
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 2: but Marsha Show has really been the alpha dog. So

482
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: in game four should be very interesting Saturday, and it

483
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: is Florida's still alive. Yeah, absolutely, they're still alive. The

484
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup is a totally different entity. You've got bouncing pucks,

485
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: you've got all kinds of things that can happen that

486
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: don't happen in another sport. Is the toughest trophy to win

487
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 2: in all of sports, and you know it'd be a

488
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: battle of goaltenders. We'll see which stars, you know, emerge.

489
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 2: But I'll be curious see what the narrative is If

490
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: Flora to ties it up to a lot of punts,

491
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: believes the Golden Knights will win Saturday, We're gonna have

492
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: to We're gonna have to wait and see. But there

493
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: are odd statistical abnormalities that have been taking place during

494
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: this series, and the question is if they start to

495
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: correct themselves, then it actually favors the Florida Panthers. But

496
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 2: the Golden Knights anyways, spin it whether they win the

497
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: series or not. It's been an incredible year. It's been

498
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: incredible six years. They appear to be the deeper team,

499
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: they appear to be the more disciplined team, but Florida

500
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: time and time again has proved how gritty and gutty

501
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: they are. So don't plan that parade just yet. Either

502
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: team coming up. One team that should plan a parade.

503
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: Take a bow three in a row, fifty three in

504
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: a row. I'll tell you excellence like this it needs

505
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: to be recognized and congratulated. I will share it with you.

Speaker 2: and Ethan's as well. All right, I'm gonna make a statement.

524
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how anybody can argue with it. No

525
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: team in all of North America's has been as dominant

526
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: over the past three years as the Oklahoma Sooner softball program.

527
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: The Sooners beat Florida State three to one in the

528
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: second game of the Women's College World Series last night

529
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: Thursday night. That enabled Oklahoma to capture their third straight

530
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: national championship, put a bowl on a season where they

531
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: won sixty one games and lost one, fifty third straight win,

532
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: extending their record long winning streak. I don't know if

533
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 2: this performance will ever be matched. Oklahoma's only lost this

534
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: season came by one run on the road at Baylor

535
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: February nineteenth. That was what week after the Super Bowl.

536
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: Haven't lost since. And most teams, by the way, don't

537
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: even put up a fight against Oklahoma. Not only did

538
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: they beat teams and win games, they molliwop teams. Is

539
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: our guy, Kevin Figures likes to say, and it's it's

540
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: not like Oklahoma, you know, is lolly gaging. They play

541
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: quality opponents and they hammer all their quality opponents as well.

542
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: All three of their NCAA Tournament regional games were shortened

543
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: by the run rule. There's a mercy rule, as it were,

544
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 2: for lack of a better term, in college softball, Florida State.

545
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: They beat Florida State back to back games. They were

546
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 2: a tremendous team. Florida State. They had a great season.

547
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: They were fifty eight and eleven. They won the ACC

548
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: Championship and after they dropped the first game of the

549
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: championship series against Oklahoma five nothing on Wednesday Thursday, Seminoles

550
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: played a great game. They made all the plays, they

551
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: did everything they could do. They just weren't good enough.

552
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: Nobody's good enough to beat Oklahoma again. An incredibly absurdly

553
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: dominant season for the Sooners. They've won the last three

554
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: NCAA championships. They've won six of the last ten. Their

555
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: AC cumulative record since the start of the twenty twenty

556
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: one season is one hundred and seventy six and eight

557
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy six and eight. It's a nine

558
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: to fifty seven winning percentage. By the way, their fifty

559
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: three game winning streak is the longest in the history

560
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: of the sport, six games longer than Arready Spaniards Arizona

561
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: Wildcats did twenty six years ago. They had a forty

562
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: seven game winning streak, but it's not just that, Oklahoma

563
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: also holds the next three longest winning streaks in NCAA

564
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: history forty one games, forty games, and forty games, all

565
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: since twenty nineteen and again since twenty eighteen wons seventy

566
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 2: six and eight or twenty twenty. Excuse me, by the

567
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 2: way of the sixty one wins the Sooners had this

568
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 2: season again against one loss, thirty five were shutouts, shutouts

569
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: in softball thirty five. They had three pitchers who ranked

570
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: in the top eight in the nation. Let's give him

571
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: her flowers. Nicole May had an ERA of zero point

572
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: nine to one, Jordan Ball an ERA of zero point

573
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 2: nine two, and Alex Storrocco an ERA of one point

574
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 2: one two. Now, while we're on the subject, let's give

575
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 2: it up to Stanford freshman that Jari Kennedy. I think

576
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: I pronounced that right. She actually led the nation with

577
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: an ERA that's point zero five to seven. And by

578
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: the way, Oklahoma beat Stanford as well. And when Oklahoma

579
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: pitchers did give up runs didn't matter because they got

580
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: so much run support. That's how you win fifty three

581
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: in a row and go sixty one to one and

582
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 2: win three straight National championships. Sooners average just under nine

583
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: runs per game on offense this season. Unreal. That's more

584
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: than a run better than any other team in the country.

585
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 2: Their team batting average three to sixty seven. Team batting

586
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: average three sixty seven, thirty one points better than the

587
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 2: next highest team in the country. And again, I want

588
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: to emphasize this, the Sooners took on all commerce. It's

589
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: not though they were just beating up on subpar competition.

590
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: They took on all comers. They had the third toughest

591
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: schedule in the nation according to d one Softball dot

592
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: Com at website that keeps track of these things. They're

593
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 2: just simply that much better than everybody else. So the

594
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: question is can they continue. Well, that's up to their coach,

595
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 2: I guess Patty Gasso and her program. But they seem

596
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: to have a formula so far. And you know, I

597
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 2: want to kind of retract something I said at the

598
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: top of the show. I said I'd like to thank

599
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat for participating in the twenty twenty three

600
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. That's not fair. Miami's had a sensational year.

601
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,959
Speaker 2: They were an eight seed, they were injured all year,

602
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 2: they had to battle, they lost to and then they

603
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 2: were losing to Chicago by three with a couple minutes

604
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 2: to go, they had to rally back. They win three

605
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: straight playoff series, and they find themselves simply, you know,

606
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 2: against a better team, and I feel like Miami's out

607
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: of gash. But keep one thing in mind. Miami is

608
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: seven and five on the road this year in the playoffs,

609
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 2: and they are going back to Denver, the site where

610
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 2: in Game two the Heat did some pretty incredible things.

611
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 2: See if the Heat somehow come back to win this series,

612
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to remember Game two is the epic

613
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: comeback for Heat culture. Why well, Game two of the

614
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 2: NBA Finals was the Heat's seventh double digit comeback win

615
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 2: this postseason. That's tied for the most such wins in

616
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 2: any single postseason in the last twenty five years, joining

617
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 2: the Warriors last season and the Heat the same Heat

618
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 2: back in twenty eleven and twenty twelve, when they were

619
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: led by Lebron James and d Wade. In Game two,

620
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 2: the Heat trailed by eight entering the fourth quarter three

621
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: seventy five. Miami now has four wins when trailing by

622
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: eight or more points entering the fourth quarter of this

623
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: this entire postseason. That's the most in a single postseason

624
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 2: in NBA history. Now Miami's five and five in those situations,

625
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 2: the rest of the NBA is one in forty one.

626
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: That's quite an accomplishment. By the way, in Game two,

627
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: the Heat actually shot sixty eight point eight percent in

628
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. That's the third highest fourth quarter field

629
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 2: goal percentage in the fourth quarter of an NBA Finals

630
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 2: game since nineteen ninety seven. So give the Heat a

631
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 2: lot of credit because a lot of folks didn't think

632
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 2: they'd get this far. And I was a little facetious

633
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: at the top of the show. But you know, we

634
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,360

00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 8: Uh, there was one team in the NFL who won

710
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 8: three Super Bowls in the nineteen nineties.

711
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 5: Who is this team?

712
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 8: And you can get one hundred points extra for every year?

713
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 9: Correct, Hey, that was the Dallas Cowboys, but it was

714
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 9: I believe it was.

715
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 10: Nineteen ninety three, ninety four, and.

716
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 9: Ninety six.

717
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: Bang out standing. Course the third one was after Jimmy

718
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 2: Johnson left in Barry Switcher took over, and we'll always

719
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 2: wonder what might have happened if Jerry Jones and Jimmy

720
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: Johnson had not broken up.

721
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 8: Boy, I'll tell you so, Brandon, great job. That's four

722

Speaker 10: going to Vegas, so I'm gonna take the Golden Knights tomorrow.

731
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,920

732
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the Golden Knights as well. They actually

733
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,520

734
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,080

735
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 2: is telling you that the Golden Knights are favorite. That's

736
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: where the professional moneys come in. We shall see. The

737
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 2: Florida Panthers are gritty, but the Golden Knights are really

738
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: good after a loss, so we'll see.

739
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,600

00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,000

750
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 2: Here it is. And then the knucklehead went around and

751

Speaker 2: Bowl forty and Detroit being cold. It was like thirty

928
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 2: nine degrees on game day, which ethan you lived in Philly,

929
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 2: thirty nine and January February is nice, right, Sonny. The

930
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 2: following year in Jacksonville between the Bears and the Colts,

931
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 2: and not only rained, it was like thirty six degrees

932
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 2: and NFL cameras weren't showing the stands because they were

933
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 2: emptying out because it was raining. But the answer is

934
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: a simple one. The Cleveland Browns. We've never had a

935
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 2: Super Bowl in com and we've never had the Cleveland

936
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 2: Browns in the Super Bowl. But Joey, you came out

937
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 2: strong with a good answer. Okay, and that's half. That's

938
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 2: half the deal here, man. So you keep trying to

939
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 2: get it and we're gonna have another twelve week contest

940
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 2: after those Dan Brownies.

941
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 9: All right, now, nowhere, let's go all right.

942
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 8: College baseball playoffs Oregon versus Oral Roberts.

943
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 5: Now, Oral Roberts is actually a good baseball team. It

944
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 5: is a pick him.

945
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 8: Oregon leads the series one nothing, but Earl Roberts is

946
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 8: forty nine and twelve this season. Oregon is forty one

947
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 8: and twelve or forty one and twenty. I'm sorry, who

948
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 8: will you be going with? Oral Roberts or Oregon?

949
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 2: This is a that's the three series, correct, Yeah? Super regional?

950
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, let's let's go with the uh, let's

951
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 9: go with Oral Roberts.

952
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 2: I'm gonna agree with Joey. Oral Roberts had a big

953
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 2: lead on Oregon today and Oregon came back. They set

954
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 2: a College World Series record the biggest comeback ever in

955
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 2: the College World Series. I think Oregon's John seven or

956
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: eight runs, and they came they came back and beat

957
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 2: Oral Roberts. But Oral Roberts is good and I expect

958
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 2: I expect Oral Roberts too even the series on Saturday. Good.

959
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 2: Good job, Joey. I'm standing, Thanks Joey.

960
00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 10: Hey, thanks guys, And I can't wait for the next

961
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 10: turn in a competition.

962
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 2: You guys do.

963
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 9: I will gladly be a part of it.

964
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 8: I can't wait. You got it.

965
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 2: You're welcome, Joey, and you you, we'll have you right

966
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 2: in there, buddy. All right, Ethan, another another day, another donut.

967
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 2: And so we've got week ten, Week eleven, Week twelve,

968
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 2: and then you'll announce the winners and what the winner gets.

969
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 2: And then I think, well, we'll start right up again

970
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 2: for another twelve week contest. And I think you were

971
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 2: talking about maybe having the champion of the first contest

972
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: face off against the champion of the second contest, and

973
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 2: we'll have to figure out how we structure that, right.

974
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be that's that's the goal. So we're

975
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 5: gonna look to have.

976
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 8: The first the first championship versus the second championship, and

977
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 8: even may do something where we match up the top

978
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 8: two of this.

979
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 5: Competition to decide the champion. Well, you never know, we

980
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 5: may add some minutes. So we're having a lot of

981
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 5: fun with everybody, and we're gonna keep it going.

982
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 2: Great job everybody who took the time to call in.

983
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 2: And Mark and I were talking about this off air

984
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 2: last week. You know, I've been doing this a long time,

985
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 2: so some of this trivia comes to me. But you

986
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 2: guys are calling in, you're trying to, you know, gather yourself.

987
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 2: You got the ticker in the background, you got six

988
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 2: or seven seconds, and it's a little You guys have

989
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 2: a tougher than I do. So the fact you're making

990
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 2: the effort and we appreciate it. Can't do the game

991
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 2: without you. And the truth of the matter is I

992
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 2: think people are enjoying it, so we're going to continue

993
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 2: with it. So thanks to all the callers. Appreciate it

994
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 2: and great job. And I don't know, I don't know, Ethan,

995
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 2: I don't want to muddy up the waters, but maybe

996
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 2: we consider extending this to seven calls because Joey mentioned

997
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 2: he'd been trying to get in several weeks you do

998
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 2: the best you can. What do you think about that? Maybe?

999
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 2: Do we consider that, Ethan, you're the boss here, you

1000
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 2: did all the work putting this together.

1001
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll consider. We'll talk, we'll talk off air. We'll

1002
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 5: see if we have enough time for seven.

1003
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think if we manage the clock proper, we

1004
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 2: can do that. All right, Just something to think about,

1005
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 2: all right, Ethan, you'll have the standings out Monday, and

1006

1020
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 2: Tons of stuff to get to bottom of yall are

1021
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 2: one particular NFL players being investigated for gambling violations. This

1022
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 2: one's a little more serious. Rumor has it it's possible

1023
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 2: this individual could be suspended for life. We will see.

1024
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 2: I'll share with you what we know in the meantime. Oh,

1025
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 2: that lovable Lebron and that irrepressible Kyrie Irving. Now, I

1026
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 2: am guessing if you peruse the internet you might see

1027
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 2: some bad photoshops of Lebron James in a Dallas Mavericks uniform.

1028
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 2: But let's put it this way, kind of like the

1029
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 2: gentleman who saw the alien in the backyard. We don't

1030
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 2: know if it's true. We want to believe it. I

1031
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 2: don't want to believe Lebron thing. It's stupid. Just move on.

1032
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 2: Nothing to see here now. Kyrie Irving sparked us by

1033
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,959
Speaker 2: asking Lebron James for sources if he'd like to join

1034
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving in Dallas. It seems absurd. I actually today

1035
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 2: the truth I'd like to see it happen. It's got

1036
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 2: zero chances, got less than zero chances. Opening, But I'd

1037
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 2: really like to see Lebron and Luca and Kyrie on

1038
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 2: the same team. And there's no doubt Lakyrie will screw

1039
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 2: it up. I mean, let me count the ways he'll

1040
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 2: show up to work, you'll not show up to work

1041
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 2: and not call and all that. Oh, by the way,

1042
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 2: let me insert also got to remind you it's it's

1043
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 2: against the law if I don't. Kyrie is a brilliant player.

1044
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 2: You always got to make sure you say that. Okay,

1045
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 2: But look look what happened in Brooklyn. Look what happened

1046
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 2: in Boston, Look what happened in Dallas. You know how

1047
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 2: did it end in Cleveland. Dude's got a body of work,

1048
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 2: all right. I did like his movie, though, I did

1049
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 2: like his movie Uncle Drew. That was very good. Kyrie

1050
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 2: was very good in that. But I digress. I'll say

1051
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 2: it's a ninety nine percent chance and not happening. Okay,

1052
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? You trade? How you can

1053
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 2: do that?

1054
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 8: Right?

1055
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 2: The only feasible scenario is that the Lakers give Lebron

1056
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 2: James will buy out, then he can sign with Dallas

1057
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 2: as a free agent, and they'd have to take a

1058
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 2: massive pay cut, and that would cut whatever they pay

1059
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 2: Lebron's gonna cut into Irving's free agent deals. My understanding

1060
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 2: that Mark Cuban wants to keep Kyrie Irving, that would

1061
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 2: completely hamstring Dallas and their ability to fill the competent roster.

1062
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 2: Above and beyond that, I know, by the way, who

1063
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 2: the hell is going to play defense?

1064
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 8: Right?

1065
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 2: Luca doesn't play defense, and Kyrie plays even less defense.

1066
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 2: Lebron will play thirty nine year old defense or give

1067
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 2: an effort. But you know where I'm going with that, right,

1068
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 2: That leaves us with what could Irving come to La

1069
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 2: via a free agent contract or a sign and trade?

1070
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 2: Millions of hurdles and fallouts issues there as well. If

1071
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 2: both sides wanted that bad enough, I think they could happen.

1072
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 2: But I'm still gonna call that at one percenter are

1073
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 2: less than a zero. There in lies the wrinkle. The Lakers, basically,

1074
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 2: I think, have maintained unless I miss unless it's a

1075
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 2: joke or they're bluffing, really have any interest in ning

1076
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,439
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving? Right, I think you bring back Ruy Hotcha Murray,

1077
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: you bring back Austin Reeves, you bring back Taylor Swift.

1078
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 2: He hung out with Austin Reis in Arkansas last week allegedly,

1079
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 2: So what gives There may be some merit to the

1080
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 2: belief that Kyrie and Lebron James want to give it

1081
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 2: a go one more time. And you know, but what

1082
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago Lebron was thinking about what

1083
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 2: he wants to do. He might retire. Do you really

1084
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 2: think Lebron will leave LA and not be able to

1085
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 2: watch Brownie play at USC Do you really believe that's happening?

1086
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 2: Do you really believe that contract wise, mechanically they could

1087
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 2: make this happen in either location, or that this would

1088
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,919
Speaker 2: this would work and these additions would lead to better

1089
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 2: you know, basketball teams and playoffs and such. Yeah, I'm

1090
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and pass on that. Coming up once again,

1091
01:00:55,760 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 2: the NFL gambling policy is being revisited. Do people not

1092
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 2: pay attention? This one is a little bit more serious.

1093
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 2: It involves Rogers, but not Aaron Rodgers. I'll give you

1094
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,439
Speaker 2: the details coming up. First, let's go back to our guy,

1119
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks. Back to Bernie Freddo.

1120
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks Kevin so As first reported by The Athletic

1121
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 2: last Monday, the NFL is investigating a Colts player for

1122
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 2: a possible gambling policy violation. There were multiple reports this

1123
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 2: past week that Isaiah Rodgers, junior the Indianapolis Colts, he's

1124
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 2: the subject of the probe. He's a cornerback, and he

1125
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 2: did say in a statement on social media that Cody

1126
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 2: wants to take full responsibility for his actions. The Colts

1127
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 2: also issued a statement saying they're aware of the NFL's investigation.

1128
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 2: We'll have no further comment at this time, though. You

1129
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 2: remember in April the NFL suspended five players, one from

1130
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 2: the Commanders, four from the Lions they had violated the

1131
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 2: league's gambling policy, and now apparently a fifth Lions player

1132
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 2: is being investigated. I do not think the sky is

1133
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 2: falling and that we have guardrails. Now, we have checks

1134
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 2: and balances, and we have a situation now where the

1135
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 2: system works. We got that, we're seventeen hundred NFL players.

1136
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 2: We're talking about what six or seven year do we

1137
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 2: have a problem. No, But what I don't understand, what

1138
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 2: I don't understand, is how in the hell players don't

1139
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 2: know the NFL gambling policy, or if they do, they

1140
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 2: are thumbing their nose at it. It's so simple, it's

1141
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 2: so simple to demystify this. Right, if you are an

1142
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 2: NFL player, you do not bet on the NFL. Period,

1143
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 2: No way, no, how, I don't care. If you're in

1144
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 2: the bottom of a submarine in the barrier, reef, don't

1145
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 2: bet on the NFL. You cannot bet on the NFL. However,

1146
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 2: you're an adult, you like the entertainment value. You're an

1147
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 2: adrenaline junkie. Look, I think probably ninety percent of athletes bet.

1148
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 2: They're no different than you. And I remember I walked

1149
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 2: into the Tigers clubhouse was Kevin the Tigers for many years,

1150
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 2: Detroit Tigers, two thousand and four, and I heard all

1151
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 2: this yelling and screaming and f bombs, Like, what's going

1152
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 2: on in there? They said? Well, they're having their fantasy draft,

1153
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 2: all right. Now, they're human, and the NFL knows that

1154
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 2: they are allowed to place wagers. Here's all they have

1155
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 2: to know. Again, you don't bet on the NFL. Period,

1156
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 2: No way, no, how never, not now never. If you

1157
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 2: want to bet on another sports, basketball, hockey, golf, bowling,

1158
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 2: female full contact, karate, tiley winks, badminton, don't forget the shuttlecock. Look,

1159
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 2: you can do that, just don't do it at any

1160
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 2: team headquarters or premises or facilities that includes team planes,

1161
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 2: team hotels, practice facility, practice field, the stadium, game day,

1162
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 2: none of that. Period. Don't do it. It's simple. Don't

1163
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 2: bet on the NFL, and don't bet anywhere near an

1164
01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 2: NFL property while you're at work, and workers can considered

1165
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 2: traveling as well. Now, if you're non NFL player personnel,

1166
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 2: you can't bet on anything. It's grounds for dismissal. It's

1167
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 2: unfortunately not you know, there's no wiggle room on that.

1168
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 2: So if you are the secretary, or you are the

1169
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 2: chief cook and bottle washer or the CFO or the groundskeeper,

1170
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 2: you don't do it, or you get another job. If

1171
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 2: it's that important for you to bet, you don't do it.

1172
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 2: But if you're betting on apps, you big brother is watching.

1173
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 2: Made no mistake. The NFL is hyper vigilant about optics

1174
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 2: and that leads to this situation with the Colts. And

1175
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 2: Isaiah Rodgers said he quote, he said, I know I

1176
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 2: made a lot of mistakes. I wanted to do whatever

1177
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 2: it takes to repair the situation. The last thing I

1178
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 2: ever wanted to do is be a distraction of the Colts,

1179
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 2: my coaches, my teammates. I made an error in judgment,

1180
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, and you know about

1181
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 2: this stuff. What happened with the Lions players. We don't

1182
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 2: need to go over that again. What does this mean

1183
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 2: for the Colts? Right? What does this really mean for Rogers? Now?

1184
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 2: If it turns out is part of the investigation that

1185
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 2: Rogers gambled on NFL games, the penalty will be very

1186
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 2: severe and the optics aren't good for the Colts anyway,

1187
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 2: because they were four and twelve last year. There's all

1188
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 2: kinds of chaos and a gambling violation is not something

1189
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 2: that brings positive press to the Indianapolis Colts. Now. Pro

1190
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 2: Football Talk reported that Isaiah Rodgers is facing a potential

1191
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 2: lifetime ban from the NFL. I don't know what he

1192
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 2: would have done to deserve that, but make no mistake.

1193
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 2: You can call him Commissioner Goodell. You can call him

1194
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 2: Emperor Goodell, call him whatever you want. Roger Goodell has

1195
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 2: unilateral authority over all gambling related cases. He can end

1196
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 2: you tomorrow. The league's gambling policy gave Roger Goodell the

1197
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 2: right to basically kick Isaiah Rodgers out of the league,

1198
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 2: and the policy is pretty succinct. It says disciplinary action

1199
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 2: may include, without limitation, severe penalties up to and including

1200
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 2: a fine, termination of employment, and or banishment from the

1201
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 2: NFL for life. Again, this was reported by Pro Football Talk.

1202
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 2: What was also reported is that Rogers place to quote

1203
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 2: hundreds of bets, primarily in the twenty five to fifty

1204
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 2: dollars range, which is typical. Your average better is betting

1205
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 2: twenty bucks or so. That's fair. Again, people bet, I

1206
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 2: get it. They enjoy it's legal now in thirty four states.

1207
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 2: Why it feeds their competitive spirit, It enhances the viewing

1208
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 2: participation of a game. All those things. It's the same

1209
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 2: kind of endorprin that's released when people do many many

1210
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 2: other things. And the NFL knows this. So again, you're

1211
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 2: allowed to do it if you just do it within

1212
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 2: the framework or the parameters they've laid out. But the

1213
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: NFL is really cracked down on gambling within the league

1214
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 2: the last few years. But no player as of yet

1215
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 2: has been suspended for life. Now, remember Calvin Ridley missed

1216
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 2: all of last season. He's now reinstated. He'll play for

1217
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay this year. And whatever is going on with

1218
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 2: sa Rogers, the implication at this time seems to imply

1219
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 2: that he believes he'll play in the league again, and

1220
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 2: he seems to be very contrite. The NFL has yet

1221
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:47,759
Speaker 2: to speak on that specific situation because the investigation remains ongoing,

1222
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 2: but anything, frankly, could be on the table, and you

1223
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 2: know you wouldn't want to be in his shoes. Having

1224
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,799
Speaker 2: said all that, again, it comes down to does anybody

1225
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 2: know the damn gambling rules? How can you not know?

1226
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 2: Because since April five NFL players have been suspended, and

1227
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 2: you know, whether or not people believe that the NFL

1228
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 2: has a problem, I do not. I think the guardrails

1229
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 2: are in place. I think the guardrails have certainly done

1230
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 2: the job. That's why you're hearing about these things. They're

1231
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,560
Speaker 2: not flying under the radar anymore. You've heard about the

1232
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 2: situation with the Alabama coach and the bet that was

1233
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 2: placed in Cincinnati. It's on the players to know the rules. Okay,

1234
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 2: the one suspended, probably maybe they wish they'd have paid

1235
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 2: closer attention or inspected the policy more closely. But the

1236
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is, I know that this is

1237
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 2: gonna cost some people to look at this with a

1238
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 2: john decide. Because the NFL is now in bed and

1239
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 2: side by side and joined at the hip, there's been

1240
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 2: a massive influx of gambling association between the NFL and

1241
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,719
Speaker 2: so it looks a little funny right to some people.

1242
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 2: Most teams even have an official betting sponsor. Fifteen states

1243
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 2: with NFL teams have fully legal online sports gambling. If

1244
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 2: you are near the Saints' home, the Caesar Are Super Dome,

1245
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 2: it's named after a casino company. Some of the stadiums

1246
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 2: don't have kiosks where you can bet at the game,

1247
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 2: So it's ridiculous to expect players not to dabble in

1248
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 2: bets in other sports because they're human like you and I.

1249
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 2: But if you're stupid enough to do it at a

1250
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 2: team facility, then that's on you. And people can say

1251
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 2: it makes no sense, makes no sense to who. The

1252
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 2: NFL can make whatever rules they want. This is a

1253
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 2: condition of employment. The question is are there going to

1254
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 2: be more suspensions? Are there going to be more discussions

1255
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 2: around this issue? Is that going to continue? I don't know.

1256
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 2: All I know is it's not that hard to know

1257
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:55,599
Speaker 2: this rule. We must have laid it out one hundred times.

1258
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 2: If you are a player, don't bet on the NFL

1259
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 2: ever anywhere, not how no way, I don't. Don't do it.

1260
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:04,640
Speaker 2: You can bet on other sports, just don't do it

1261
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 2: anywhere near team facilities. And team facilities include the hotel

1262
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 2: on the road, the team bus, the team plane, the

1263
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 2: practice facility, you know, the weight room, whatever. You get

1264
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 2: the picture. And if you are working in the NFL,

1265
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 2: you're an employee but you're not a player, well don't

1266
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 2: bet on anything. And if you're that hell bent on

1267
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 2: wanted to bet, you might want to get a new

1268
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 2: job because information is something that causes people to compromise

1269
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:35,560
Speaker 2: and do things they wouldn't normally do. And again, the

1270
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 2: optics aren't good. The NFL is enjoying a renaissance and

1271
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,919
Speaker 2: gambling is a part of that. Make no mistake, gambling

1272
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 2: has always and always will enhance the voting participation of

1273
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 2: NFL games. They've managed to bring it out of the shadows.

1274
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:53,639
Speaker 2: They've managed to make it less taboo or not quite

1275
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 2: one hundred percent there, but they've come a hell of

1276
01:11:56,560 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 2: a long way. Coming up Churchill down has made an

1277
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 2: interesting decision. If you've been paying attention to what's going

1278
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 2: on there, it isn't pretty. Want to remind everybody. Tonight

1290
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 2: writers from a I want to give this this entity credit.

1291
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 2: Down in Knoxville, Tennessee. I think it was the Knoxville

1292
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 2: News Sentinel. They came up with who they believed are

1293
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 2: the most annoying sports figures. I'll give you a little tease.

1294
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:01,879
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, Lebron James made the list. Even Steve Spurrier,

1295
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 2: You're gonna get a kick out of some of these comments.

1296
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 2: They did a nice job out there in Knoxville when

1297
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 2: it came to doing this. We'll have a little fun

1298
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 2: with that after the top of the hour. Churchill Downs

1299
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 2: is suspending race operations. Now, this is a famed race track.

1300
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 2: Everybody knows about Churchill Downs. You've heard of the Kentucky Derby.

1301
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 2: They're suspending operations for about a month. And this is

1302
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 2: a fairly dramatic response to an ongoing trit crisis. It's

1303
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 2: also been going on for the last two or three months.

1304
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:41,759
Speaker 2: Twelve horses have died at Churchill Downs, I believe since April,

1305
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 2: and so live racing from June seventh, which is Wednesday,

1306
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 2: until at least July third, and that represents the remainder

1307
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 2: of the Churchill Downs spring meet. They're gonna be moved

1308
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 2: to Ellis Park Raceking Gaming in Henderson, Kentucky, which is

1309
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 2: also another Churchill Downs own facility, but they're gonna be

1310
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 2: moved there. So races that were scheduled Saturday and Sunday

1311
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 2: were held at Churchill Downs. But this four week suspension

1312
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 2: arrives because track officials and experts continue to their search

1313
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 2: for the cause of these horses' deaths. Why is this

1314
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 2: happening and despite the ongoing safety issues. While the twenty

1315
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 2: twenty three Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs still drew a

1316
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 2: crowd of over one hundred and fifty two thousand, generated

1317
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:27,760
Speaker 2: almost two hundred ninety million dollars last month, but no

1318
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 2: longer can you sit idly by when these horses are dying.

1319
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 2: Not that they were sitting idly by, but now they're

1320
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 2: shutting down for a month. So this is serious business.

1321
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:40,600
Speaker 2: By the way, a little fun I mentioned I was

1322
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 2: on with Arnie Spanier and Steve de Sagers has set

1323
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 2: in for Jason Smith and Mike Carmen Tuesday Night, and

1324
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 2: I want to give them top credit. They had kind

1325
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 2: of this recurring theme throughout the show, what's the one

1326
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 2: baseball record that will never be broken? And it got

1327
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 2: me thinking, and of course for me, I always have

1328
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 2: my fallback somewhat tongue in cheek, but I'm also being serious. Okay.

1329
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 2: Back in nineteen thirty eight, a pitcher by the name

1330
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 2: of Johnny Vandermir actually threw two consecutive no hitters. Fact,

1331
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 2: so I don't think anybody's ever gonna throw three consecutive

1332
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 2: no hitters, right, And it was his first full season

1333
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,840
Speaker 2: in the big leagues. And on June eleventh in Cincinnati,

1334
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 2: Vandermir threw a no hitter against Boston, and you know

1335
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 2: the couple He walked a couple guys, but no one

1336
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 2: got past first base. Four days later in Brooklyn, he

1337
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,600
Speaker 2: threw another no hitter. But when he got to the

1338
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 2: ninth inning, what's interesting is he almost blew the game

1339
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,680
Speaker 2: because with two ounce in the ninth he walked the

1340
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 2: bases loaded. Who comes up God by the name of

1341
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 2: Leod Rocher and he ends the threat by hitting a

1342
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 2: pop fly, and Vandermer had his second no hitter. And

1343
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 2: you know Vandermier, Johnny vandnumber was in the big leagues

1344
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,640
Speaker 2: for thirteen years. He wasn't even above five hundred. But

1345
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 2: this is something that will be ingrained in the minds

1346
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 2: of all baseball historians and all the fans, because this

1347
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 2: is the one record that is unbeatable, in my opinion, unbelievable.

1348
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 2: And if you really want to have a little fun,

1349
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 2: you trivia buffs. When Vandermir took them on for the

1350
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 2: third game, he actually had a no hitter going into

1351
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 2: the fourth inning. And so another record that Johnny Vandermer said,

1352
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 2: he basically had twenty two innings without giving up a hit.

1353
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 2: And the reason I always I know it's partially tongue

1354
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 2: in cheek, but a lot of people think that, you know,

1355
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 2: for instance, Cal ripkins record will never be broken, and

1356
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 2: Pete Rose's hits or Joe Demangio's hitting street. But if

1357
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 2: you go back in time and not that long ago,

1358
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 2: there are plenty of people who thought Babe Ruth's single

1359
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 2: season home run title was never to be broken. It

1360
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 2: lasted for thirty four years until Roger Merris did it.

1361
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,680
Speaker 2: Nobody thought they'd break Marris's record, then Maguire did it,

1362
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 2: and then Bonds did it. Right Ty Cobb had ninety

1363
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 2: one career hits. People thought that would never be broken.

1364
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 2: Even Copp and his deathbed said, whoever breaks it'll be

1365
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 2: a hell of a man. Well, it ended up being

1366
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 2: Pete Rose. He's got forty two to fifty six. People

1367
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 2: swore that lou Gerrigg's consecutive game streak of two one

1368
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,680
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty would never be broken as well, but

1369
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 2: Cal Ripken Jr. Did it. So the truth of the

1370
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 2: matter is these records are meant to be broken, and

1371
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 2: they can be broken. The one I think I would

1372
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 2: probably get the most enjoyment of would be Joe Demoggio's

1373
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 2: fifty six games street because Paul Malader was like at

1374
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 2: thirty nine forty games back in nineteen eighty seven, and

1375
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 2: the pressure mounted and it became the lead story on

1376
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 2: ESPN every night. And of course, back in nineteen seventy eight,

1377
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 2: before the days of ESPN, Pete Rose had forty four

1378
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 2: game hitting streak and Gene Garber got him out a

1379
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 2: couple of times and he didn't break it. By the way,

1380
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 2: with demagio streak, after it got broken, Kenny Kiltner and

1381
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 2: Cleveland made three great plays. Demantio went on to hit

1382
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 2: for nineteen straight games. After that, Demagio could have had

1383
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 2: a seventy five game hitting streak. Had no third basement

1384
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 2: for Cleveland, Kenny Kiltner robbed him of at least two hits.

1385
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 2: According to historians coming up. Give credit to this group

1386
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 2: in Knoxville. They picked their most annoying sports figures. We'll

1387
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 2: share it with you. Keep it locked. You're seen to

1388
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1389
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:36,440
Speaker 4: As dominant as Nicola Jokic has been throughout this NBA postseason.

1390
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 4: On Friday, it was time for Aaron Gordon to shine.

1391
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray has it the other way. They jump him

1392
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 2: on the two man team. Over to KCP ALI.

1393
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 9: You talk two hands, Aaron Gordon man.

1394
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 4: This cat is on Fire Nuggets Radio Network on the call,

1395
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 4: as Gordon would finish with a game high twenty seven points,

1396
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 4: leading Denver to way one away to ninety five victory

1397
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 4: in Miami and a commanding three games to one lead

1398
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 4: in the NBA Finals. The Nuggets and Clinton their first

1399
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 4: NBA championship with a win in Game five on Monday

1400
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 4: Nights and Lefco's Baseball Show, Yo Tony went three for

1401
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:08,759
Speaker 4: four with the home run and also pitched five innings

1402
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 4: to leave the Angels to a five to four victory

1403
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 4: over Seattle. The cub snapped the four game losing streak

1404
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 4: with the victory in San Francisco. It was the Padres

1405
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 4: nine on the rocky sixth the Pirates handed to met

1406
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 4: their seventh straight loss, while Peter A. Lonzo has been

1407
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,360
Speaker 4: placed on the injured list with the left wrist injury.

1408
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 4: Wins for the Phillies, Braves, Red Sox and Guardians who

1409
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 4: walked off Houston in fourteen innings.

1410
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,719
Speaker 2: I'm Kevin Figers. Well you heard the man. The Bernie

Speaker 2: Fradle shield keeps rolling right along. My name is Bernie

01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 2: dot com the way tire buying should be. So I

1417
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 2: am perusing some newspapers around the country and kids, you know,

1418
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 2: I think kind of time on my hands some days,

1419
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 2: and I happened to stumble upon the little vignette, the

1420
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 2: little gem that was done by these the good folks

1421
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 2: down at the Knoxville News Sentinel and the I guess

1422
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 2: the staff got together decided, why don't we have a

1423
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 2: little fun and just you know, have a little open

1424
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 2: air conversation about who we find to be the most

1425
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:30,799
Speaker 2: annoying sports figures. And I think they got some readers

1426
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 2: involved too, And this was really kind of delicious because

1427
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 2: they were so descriptive and funny and frankly creative in

1428
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:48,639
Speaker 2: their repartee as it were, that I have to really

1429
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 2: share this because it's I think it's entertaining, and again

1430
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 2: I want to give the good folks credit down at

1431
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 2: the Knoxville News Sentinel. I'm not going to give the

1432
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 2: names of the writers who wrote that. I'll keep that

1433
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:05,679
Speaker 2: respect their privacy. But here's what one particular writer wrote.

1434
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:07,960
Speaker 2: There are quite a few athletes who are annoying, but

1435
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 2: I have to give my vote to Aaron Rodgers. Here's

1436
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:13,640
Speaker 2: where it gets funny. He's quote, He's a self satisfied,

1437
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 2: want to be mayornair bohemian who, when answering any questions,

1438
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 2: either one models syllables his answer after long boring stare

1439
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 2: or two launches into an off the wall crazy tangent.

1440
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,760
Speaker 2: For example, listen to Pat McAfee's interview in the Dark

1441
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,600
Speaker 2: Retreat he entered for a week and discussing going to

1442
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:37,559
Speaker 2: the bathroom and complete darkness. What's with that? Okay, he's

1443
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:41,240
Speaker 2: a fun quarterback, but watch the Jets. That could make

1444
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 2: him even crazier. I mean he was off center. No

1445
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:46,719
Speaker 2: pun intendant in Wisconsin. New York could be a whole

1446
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 2: new ballgame, literally, And another reader responded, it's as though

1447
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 2: he's trying too hard to prove he's not just some

1448
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 2: dumb jock, but in fact he's a deep thinker or

1449
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 2: risk taker. But going to bathroom in the dark. That said,

1450
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:05,679
Speaker 2: he's one of my all time quarterbacks. And for instance,

1451
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 2: I also love Tom Cruise movies, even though his beliefs

1452
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 2: indicate he's a total nut job too. People, what's some

1453
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 2: effort it? And they did not pull punches, especially listen

1454
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 2: to what this guy said about Lebron James. And again,

1455
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,639
Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave the names of the writers. I'm gonna

1456
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 2: allow them their privacy, although they deserve a lot of credit.

1457
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 2: And again, you know, don't play killb a messenger here.

1458
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 2: This is what these folks said. I wouldn't be reading

1459
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 2: this if I didn't find it entertaining. So another gentleman

1460
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 2: wrote about Lebron James quote, he's the most annoying sports

1461
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 2: figure as UFC fighter Kolbe Covington stated, I see quote

1462
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 2: all the hypocrisy from Lebron. He claims to be about

1463
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 2: social justice, but he won't say free Hong Kong. He

1464
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 2: won't talk about all the women that he's profiting off

1465
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 2: in Chinese sweatshops that are making all of his shoes

1466
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 2: for dollars, that he's coming over to America and selling

1467
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,839
Speaker 2: them for hundreds and profiting millions off of here in America.

1468
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:06,600
Speaker 2: I mean, some of this is broken English, but you

1469
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:09,600
Speaker 2: get it. He goes. The guy is not on a pedestal,

1470
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 2: He's just a piece of garbage. Well, how do you

1471
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 2: really feels that's a little rough? A reader responded. Former

1472
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 2: number one pick Kwame Brown, now regarded as one of

1473
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 2: the league's big as bus, said he is also not

1474
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:27,560
Speaker 2: in the Lebron Finn club. He recorded a video for

1475
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 2: social media after the Lakers lost in four consecutive games

1476
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 2: of the Nuggets, in which he ripped James for not

1477
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 2: getting off in the final seconds. Said quote, I've never

1478
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 2: seen a guy of your caliber or supposed caliber, you

1479
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 2: don't even get a shot off. You're probably the best

1480
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:41,720
Speaker 2: scorer in the game. He got all those points but

1481
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 2: you were looking for a bailout again. You can't see

1482
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 2: you're great. You gotta do great things. That's where greatness lies.

1483
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 2: Fair guests. Maybe Kwame had a little bet on the Lakers.

1484
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 2: Here's another one. I would have to say. It's John Kelapari. Yeah. Again,

1485
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 2: A big part of it is because I'm a ut fan. However,

1486
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 2: I actually like John Calipari as a coach until they

1487
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 2: got to Kentucky. I can't stand it when coaches treat

1488
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 2: everyone like idiots, like they are the only ones who

1489
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:15,680
Speaker 2: know anything about the sport they coach. The sarcasm, the excuses,

1490
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 2: the complaining. It's just old and basically makes beas me

1491
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 2: want to throw up. A reader's response, well, Kentucky's recent

1492
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:28,679
Speaker 2: failures in the NCAA tournament are also causing severe stomach

1493
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 2: problems for the Big Blue fan base. Another reader responded,

1494
01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 2: my Lakers just got swept and I started venting. Here's

1495
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 2: a family, this is crazy, here's a family. Friendly replied,

1496
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 2: this is again about Lebron. This is a reader who

1497
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 2: wrote in Lebron James annoys me immensely. For someone that's

1498
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,800
Speaker 2: made it and has it all, he whinds way too

1499
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 2: much Lebron declares himself the goat. It don't work that way.

1500
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 2: All players, past and present, sports media, and all fans

1501
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,679
Speaker 2: decide who the greatest of all time are. James showed

1502
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 2: this past week that he can't carry a team when

1503
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 2: he's old. James has been barking way too long. Go

1504
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 2: ahead and retire as a top ten because James ain't

1505
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 2: in the top five all time NBA if you include

1506
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 2: the postseason. Another reader responded to that maybe James would

1507
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 2: feel better or things if you went to a retreat

1508
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers. Now I hear this one from deep

1509
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 2: in the cookie jar. New York Jets fans are gonna

1510
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 2: remember this name. My most annoying Mark Gastineau. Where the

1511
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 2: hell did that come from? He didn't even played in

1512
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 2: the NFL in about thirty five years the original Mister

1513
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 2: Show vote look at me? I did that. Undoubtedly, Gastineau

1514
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 2: changs the behavior of athletes at all levels, but in

1515
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 2: my opinion, the behavioral changes is becoming trench as a

1516
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 2: detrimental part of sport and coursening of society. Nonetheless, I

1517
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 2: think the New York Jets fans fondly and I certainly

1518
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 2: do remember Gastone's dances as part of the New York

1519
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 2: sack exchange of the early nineteen eighties. The Jets haven't

1520
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:02,560
Speaker 2: had a winning season since twenty fifteen, having returned to

1521
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:04,720
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl since quarterback Joe Namath made good on

1522
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 2: his guaranteed. He's a reader's reading again. By the way,

1523
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 2: hung out with guests in a one afternoon in tom

1524
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 2: Springs one hundred years ago. He is great guy, really

1525
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:14,639
Speaker 2: nice guy. And those were the days when the NFL

1526
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:17,679
Speaker 2: was not the not for fun league. Get better touchdown

1527
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 2: dances and celebrations and all kinds of stuff. So the

1528
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 2: bottom line is you may have been annoying, but maybe

1529
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 2: you were rooting against the Jets. I don't know, but

1530
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:30,519
Speaker 2: that's a rare that really is. You know, I get Lebron,

1531
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,679
Speaker 2: I get Aaron Rodgers, I get Youhn Calipario, But Mark Aston,

1532
01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 2: who you really Here's another one. Okay, now you're a

1533
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 2: college football fan, you know the old ball coach he

1534
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 2: can be a little consistant. I'm talking about Steve Spurrier.

1535
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 2: Here's a reader that wrote in and said Steve Spurrier

1536
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 2: is the most annoying person in the history of sports.

1537
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 2: His negative comments about opposing teams. His pompous attitude and

1538
01:26:55,520 --> 01:27:00,080
Speaker 2: his disgusting voice made my blood boil every time he

1539
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 2: appeared on TV. He showed how little class he has

1540
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 2: by walking out on his South Carolina football team in

1541
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 2: the middle of the season. Another reader response, he wasn't

1542
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:14,839
Speaker 2: a good loser, which is probably one of the reasons

1543
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 2: he won so much. Here's another writer from Knoxville talking

1544
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 2: about who's the most annoying sports figure. Check this one out.

1545
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 2: Annoying sports figures Live golfers who claim unselfish motives to quote,

1546
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 2: grow the game of golf. Harold Varner, an unapologic capitalist

1547
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:41,120
Speaker 2: golfer who joined the Live, cuts through their self justification

1548
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 2: incisively in an interview with The Washington Post. They're full

1549
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 2: of bleep. They're growing in their pockets, he said the

1550
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 2: responsible reader. Although they live PGA debate is a little

1551
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 2: interest to me. I respect Tom's opinion since he's an

1552
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:58,560
Speaker 2: accomplished golfer. I didn't give the last name, though, but

1553
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 2: don't take my word for it. With well, it goes

1554
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 2: into the I guess he's part of some country club.

1555
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 2: So I give this paper credit. You know, it's always

1556
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 2: a little saucy when you getting someone's grill like that.

1557
01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:14,680
Speaker 2: It seemed to be good natured. These are personal opinions.

1558
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 2: I would not say certainly that any of those folks

1559
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 2: are I would consider to be my most annoying sports figure.

1560
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 2: This may be a cop out. I don't have one.

1561
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:26,720
Speaker 2: There are a lot of them that are annoying, and

1562
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 2: that's like picking out your favorite noodle in a play

1563
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 2: of spaghetti. I will tell you a lot of people

1564
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 2: think Bill Belichick's annoying, highest paid coach in sports, twenty

1565
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 2: million a year. I don't find him annoying. There are

1566
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 2: some people actually think Sean Payton's annoying. Okay, he's now

1567
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 2: making eighteen million a year with Denver Pete Carroll. A

1568
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:48,639
Speaker 2: lot of folks think he's annoying. So to each his own.

1569
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 2: And you know, no one escapes this life scott free.

1570
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 2: You're going to have your detractors. But I got a

1571
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 2: kick out of this and caught my eye because when

1572
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:02,599
Speaker 2: you're calling somebody a self satisfied want to meet billionaire

1573
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 2: bohemian or give you a long board stare, when you're

1574
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:08,600
Speaker 2: asking questions, you want to be the smartest one or

1575
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 2: you're the most annoying figure. Because you claim to be

1576
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 2: serious about social justice, but you're a hypocrite. Pretty pointed comments.

1577
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:20,439
Speaker 2: But guess what, we all get to participate. We all

1578
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 2: take our turn of the barrel, and we all sometimes

1579
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 2: shoot the fish in the barrel, which is why coming up.

1580
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 2: Let's bring in the crew. Let's bring in Ethan, Let's

1583
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:36,080

1593
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 2: loaded something I was rooting for last year. Of course.

1594
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 2: The big story of the week American soccer wins. MESSI

1595
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:17,720
Speaker 2: to Miami turned down three years of billion six to

1596
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:21,439
Speaker 2: go to Saudi Arabia. Unreal. But hey, MESSI is this

1597
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 2: generation's pelet it make no mistakes. And we'll talk about

1598
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 2: that among other things with Chris. But we're talking about

1599
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:31,680
Speaker 2: readers and writers. Back in Knoxville, Tennessee, the Knoxville News

1600
01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:35,920
Speaker 2: Sentinel talking about their most annoying sports figure. Some said

1601
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:38,840
Speaker 2: of Aaron Rodgers, Lebron James, Steve Spring or somebody even

1602
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:41,920
Speaker 2: said Mark Gaston O. But anyway, who splice it. Very

1603
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 2: appointed with their comments, very descriptive. But it's come on,

1604
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,960
Speaker 2: it's all in fun here, right, So I thought we'd

1605
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,840
Speaker 2: bring in the crew get their thoughts. Kevin, Have you

1606
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 2: given any thought to this saucy little subject here? Yeah?

1607
01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:57,200
Speaker 4: I thought it was actually a pretty interesting and it's

1608
01:30:57,200 --> 01:30:59,400
Speaker 4: hard for me to disagree with many of the names

1609
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,479
Speaker 4: that they put on that list. One name that popped

1610
01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:04,559
Speaker 4: up and probably isn't an obvious one for a lot

1611
01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:08,240
Speaker 4: of people, is Jim Beheim, especially over the last i'd

1612
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:08,920
Speaker 4: say five.

1613
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:12,560
Speaker 2: Years his career, some of those press conferences, I go ahead.

1614
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:14,120
Speaker 4: I mean, my god, I mean he's going to look

1615
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:15,680
Speaker 4: and as someone who has I mean, you said in

1616
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:18,920
Speaker 4: these media pressers scrummers before burning many times as of

1617
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:21,600
Speaker 4: I and they were like student reporters who are just

1618
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 4: asking the most you know, innocent, innocuous questions, and Jim

1619
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:27,479
Speaker 4: Beaheim just goes after them for no apparent reason, like

1620
01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 4: he has literally turned into the old man screaming at

1621
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:30,920
Speaker 4: clout like.

1622
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:32,240
Speaker 2: So so true.

1623
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,040
Speaker 4: And by the way, he was a poster of retired

1624
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:37,120
Speaker 4: like four years ago. He just stayed on and on

1625
01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:39,760
Speaker 4: and on, and then finally this past year at the

1626
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:41,880
Speaker 4: end of the ACC tournament, there was a controversial where

1627
01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 4: he had that press conference and said I'm still here

1628
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:47,640
Speaker 4: and then like two hours later he wasn't. So had

1629
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:51,320
Speaker 4: a phenomenal career at Syracuse, did a great great things

1630
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:54,200
Speaker 4: at that program, won a national championship. Not disparaging him

1631
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 4: as a coach, but that last five or six years

1632
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 4: was really rough and really rough for him to hear

1633
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:01,080
Speaker 4: the way that he treated up a lot of reporters

1634
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:02,800
Speaker 4: during the last few years of his tenure.

1635
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:06,479
Speaker 2: No, you're spot on. That's a really good one, because

1636
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:09,160
Speaker 2: he went out of his way to be condescending and

1637
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 2: rude to reporters and he was unabashed about it. He

1638
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:14,280
Speaker 2: doesn't make any apologies for it, and you're right, it

1639
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:16,160
Speaker 2: was odd how he just kind of He's like Milton

1640
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:18,759
Speaker 2: in office space where there was a glinch and payroll

1641
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:21,799
Speaker 2: and he just kept you know, I wouldn't be surprised

1642
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:24,320
Speaker 2: if somebody took Beoheim stapler one day as well he

1643
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,479
Speaker 2: got pissed off about that. That's a really good one,

1644
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:30,920
Speaker 2: because what made Beoheim so annoying was that it seemed

1645
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:34,880
Speaker 2: like his deportment and treatment of reporters, a lot of them,

1646
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:36,880
Speaker 2: like you said, are just student reporters trying to figure

1647
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:41,640
Speaker 2: out their way, very condescending intentionally, you know. I mean

1648
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:46,320
Speaker 2: he almost like took this sense of glee for treating

1649
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 2: people that way. That's a good one. Any other ones

1650
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 2: you come to mind, Kevin at all.

1651
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:53,000
Speaker 4: Or that was probably the only unobvious one. I mean,

1652
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 4: Draymond Green, I think is probably one that that gets

1653
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:57,720
Speaker 4: a lot of people for all the obvious reasons. I

1654
01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:00,880
Speaker 4: don't disagree with Lebron James, although my will be different

1655
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 4: than what the person who posted this initially was about.

1656
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:06,280
Speaker 4: It has less to do with the hypocrite and more

1657
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:07,439
Speaker 4: about the fact that he just have to keep his

1658
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:09,600
Speaker 4: name on the spotlight. I mean true, here we are

1659
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 4: after the Nuggets, you know, sweep the Lakers, and he's

1660
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,520
Speaker 4: talking retirement. And look, maybe there was some legitimate legitimacy

1661
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 4: to how he was feeling, but there's also something in

1662
01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:18,240
Speaker 4: the back of your mind that says, I'm going to

1663
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,080
Speaker 4: keep the conversation about myself going. Rich Paul had a

1664
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:23,880
Speaker 4: comment about him to Cleveland dot Com last week that

1665
01:33:24,040 --> 01:33:27,880
Speaker 4: was unnecessary, you know. So he's doing the Leman's twenty

1666
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 4: four hour you know thing that came out in the

1667
01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 4: midst of the NBA Finals. So it's just Lebron James

1668
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 4: always seems to keep his name or find a way

1669
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 4: to try to keep his name relevant, when at a

1670
01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:38,479
Speaker 4: time now it really shouldn't be.

1671
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 2: One of the alzheimers who was very annoying, although I

1672
01:33:42,240 --> 01:33:45,240
Speaker 2: met him once and talked for about twenty minutes five

1673
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:47,320
Speaker 2: years ago here in Las Vegas. Bobby Knight was one

1674
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 2: of the all timers, right, and when he was unceremoniously

1675
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 2: removed from his gig at Indiana a couple of years later,

1676
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:57,599
Speaker 2: he takes the job at Texas Tech. And all due

1677
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:00,200
Speaker 2: respect to Lubbock, Texas, you got to really want to

1678
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 2: be there, right, And Bobby Knight took that job, did

1679
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:05,720
Speaker 2: a pretty good job. But to people who were in

1680
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 2: the know, the thing that motivated Bobby Knight to go

1681
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:11,240
Speaker 2: to Texas Tech and take the job and love it

1682
01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:14,400
Speaker 2: even at that point he was probably late sixties and

1683
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 2: maybe almost seventy. The point I'm making is is that

1684
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 2: he they called it to Bobby Knight syndrome, meaning that

1685
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 2: he realized that he missed the spotlight a hell of

1686
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 2: a lot more than the spotlight missed him. I see

1687
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 2: a lot of that, Lebron. If I'm being honest, when

1688
01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 2: he's gone, he is going to miss the spotlight. I'm

1689
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:36,640
Speaker 2: not so sure how much the spotlight is going to

1690
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:40,000
Speaker 2: miss him. The behind one that's epic Ethan Miller your.

1691
01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 8: Thoughts, Yeah, my first one, I'm gonna go with easy

1692
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:44,520
Speaker 8: Patrick Beverley.

1693
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Yeah, he's a psycho. Well he's crazy

1694
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:48,760
Speaker 2: on the floor?

1695
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 8: Is he?

1696
01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:51,280
Speaker 2: How is he in real life? Though? Well, go ahead,

1697
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 2: you got the floor.

1698
01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:57,479
Speaker 5: It's a good point. And then my next one would

1699
01:34:57,640 --> 01:34:59,599
Speaker 5: be Terrell Owens.

1700
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:03,519
Speaker 2: Deal is he? By the way, is he one of

1701
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 2: the finalists to take over for a Shannon Sharp with skip?

1702
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:08,000
Speaker 2: You know what?

1703
01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:10,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, keV, Do you know I had not

1704
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:13,640
Speaker 4: heard Ary Loans's name in that mix, but potentially it

1705
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:14,080
Speaker 4: would fit.

1706
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely would fit. That would be a good fit.

1707
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 2: Does he have the chops to do that? What media

1708
01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 2: background does he have? I don't know much.

1709
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 4: We know he has a mouth on him, so and

1710
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 4: he'd probably be someone who would be willing to, for

1711
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:30,840
Speaker 4: lack of a better term, cal talent to what Skipp wants, so,

1712
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 4: which is probably whoever will be in that position would

1713
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:35,880
Speaker 4: need to do well as.

1714
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 2: Long as he's willing to get up at three in

1715
01:35:37,240 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 2: the morning and put in the work. You know, a

1716
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:40,800
Speaker 2: lot of people think they can do this right. The

1717
01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:43,920
Speaker 2: key is this isn't easy. The key is making it

1718
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:45,960
Speaker 2: look easy any any other one's ethan.

1719
01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:50,280
Speaker 8: If I had to think one more, uh you know

1720
01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:57,680
Speaker 8: who I'm going to the NHL Sidney Crosby. Maybe what

1721
01:35:57,760 --> 01:35:58,599
Speaker 8: do you think about that one?

1722
01:35:58,680 --> 01:35:58,800
Speaker 3: Well?

1723
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 2: I know when Detroit they hated him, but it was

1724
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:01,200
Speaker 2: because he was so good.

1725
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:04,760
Speaker 8: I mean even off the ice. He kind of just

1726
01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 8: carries himself like I think a tool is the right word.

1727
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:11,880
Speaker 2: Some people have said that, Yeah, yeah, he does. He

1728
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 2: does seem to back it up. You know what's interesting

1729
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:17,479
Speaker 2: is Aaron Rodgers may be of that list. Really, the

1730
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:21,560
Speaker 2: one who is, perhaps for my money, may be the

1731
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 2: one that takes the cake because and I'll tell you why,

1732
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:28,800
Speaker 2: because he left Green Bay. He's gone, and he keeps.

1733
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:30,920
Speaker 2: You know, there's an old saying it's okay to look back,

1734
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:34,559
Speaker 2: but don't stare. He's staring and he won't shut up.

1735
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:38,479
Speaker 2: Among other things, he continues to sort of cling to

1736
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 2: this clunky notion that his failure to respond to the

1737
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:45,280
Speaker 2: efforts to reach him were not intentional. He's sticking with

1738
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:48,439
Speaker 2: the bad sell coverage story. No one's asking about it,

1739
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:50,760
Speaker 2: and he keeps talking about it. So so I have

1740
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 2: zero or one bar at the house, so you call me.

1741
01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:56,679
Speaker 2: Sometimes it goes through, sometimes it drops, sometimes it doesn't

1742
01:36:56,720 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 2: go through. Everybody who knows me when I'm out west,

1743
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:01,120
Speaker 2: they know how to get a hold. So you can

1744
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:04,799
Speaker 2: say whatever you want. But that's the effing truth. Okay,

1745
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:07,960
Speaker 2: that ship is sailed, and you keep bringing it up,

1746
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:09,760
Speaker 2: and he brought it up as recent as last week.

1747
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 2: It's my understanding. And then he started to talk about

1748
01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:15,120
Speaker 2: Brian Gudokunst, and he said, well, did he text me

1749
01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:17,720
Speaker 2: more than I texted him? Well? Yeah, did I go

1750
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:21,160
Speaker 2: to him. No, I texted him back the question that

1751
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 2: I don't. Again, it's the old doth he doth protest

1752
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:26,120
Speaker 2: too much?

1753
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 8: Right?

1754
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 2: And the key here is is that Wallace was going

1755
01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:36,400
Speaker 2: on months ago, and while he was going to his

1756
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 2: darkness retreat and trying to decide what he wants to

1757
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:43,760
Speaker 2: do and ayahuasca and all that. Okay, it was annoying then,

1758
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,840
Speaker 2: but he's gone now he plays for a new team. Now,

1759
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:50,560
Speaker 2: there's nothing to be gained by being this defensive. Have

1760
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:52,600
Speaker 2: you have you seen this, Kevin? Have you sort of

1761
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:55,560
Speaker 2: have you sort of have you observed it all? What

1762
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 2: Rogers has been saying last couple of weeks.

1763
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:01,120
Speaker 4: I've not actually followed it super closely. Obviously, anything that

1764
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:02,559
Speaker 4: he says and does is going to get a lot

1765
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 4: of media attention. But it falls right in line with

1766
01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers and his character and background. And again, the

1767
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:10,840
Speaker 4: article that you reference to preface to this topic, I

1768
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 4: think kind of sums it up perfectly for Aaron Rodgers

1769
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:15,640
Speaker 4: kind of on the same vein of lebron test to

1770
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 4: keep himself relevant, but also more so has to try

1771
01:38:19,200 --> 01:38:21,360
Speaker 4: to prove to everyone how smart he is, and that

1772
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:23,439
Speaker 4: in and of itself is annoying because we all know.

1773
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 2: People like that. Oh, that's that's so true. That's so true.

1774
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:29,519
Speaker 2: When you lead with your chin linked at you, you're

1775
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:33,680
Speaker 2: not you're You're not fooling anybody. And and again this

1776
01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 2: this came up again recently. Everybody knows the Packers wanted

1777
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:41,120
Speaker 2: to move on. Apparently now Rogers wanted to move on.

1778
01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 2: Those things are real. He had a desire to defect

1779
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 2: digit to the Jets. Uh and and Rogers was very

1780
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:52,240
Speaker 2: but heard about the fact that Jet the Packers weren't really,

1781
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 2: you know, that interested in keeping Rogers. And I think he,

1782
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 2: you know, felt rejected and he's still dealing with that.

1783
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:01,920
Speaker 2: Hey probably be dealing with it the rest of his life.

1784
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:04,880
Speaker 2: And I think it turned into a bit of a

1785
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 2: victimization effort, and he pivoted to complaints about the Packers

1786
01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 2: standing on colda hill of austerity, and he talks and

1787
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 2: talks and talks too much, right, and it diminishes his legacy,

1788
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 2: I think quite a bit. And they're now debunking some

1789
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 2: of those stories that his claims don't hold up. Unrelated

1790
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:26,960
Speaker 2: to phone calls and foot lockers. It doesn't hold up

1791
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 2: because Rogers claims he went into the darkness, fully believing

1792
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:34,879
Speaker 2: everything was fine with the Packers, and that's not factually

1793
01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:38,320
Speaker 2: accurate either. Then came out ninety percent. He's going to return.

1794
01:39:38,400 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 2: He makes it up is he goes along And you know, Kevin,

1795
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 2: how do you think it's going to work out in

1796
01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:45,479
Speaker 2: New York? Do you think this guy has a potential

1797
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:47,639
Speaker 2: to blow up because Rogers is so eccentric?

1798
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:51,439
Speaker 4: Potentially, yes, but I think you know in that situation

1799
01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 4: that's setting better talent. He's still a great quarterback, even

1800
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 4: though he have a great year individually last year. I

1801
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:58,479
Speaker 4: think as long as they win, and what is winning

1802
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:00,200
Speaker 4: for the Jets mean? That means be COMPETI they have

1803
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:02,800
Speaker 4: compete for a playoff spot, which I think they'll do. Yeah,

1804
01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:04,360
Speaker 4: I don't think it'll be that bad.

1805
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:04,559
Speaker 9: Now.

1806
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:06,599
Speaker 4: Things just totally fall off a cliff and they win

1807
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:09,439
Speaker 4: four games, then absolutely they will grow tired of them

1808
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:10,120
Speaker 4: very quickly.

1809
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:12,600
Speaker 2: But I just don't see that happening. No, not with

1810
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 2: that defense. Yeah, and as long as Breece Hall is

1811
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:17,240
Speaker 2: healthy and he's got some good targets and wide receiver,

1812
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:20,160
Speaker 2: this is a good football team. Remember they beat Buffalo

1813
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:22,599
Speaker 2: and Miami with Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson was five and three,

1814
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 2: Mike White stepped in, they were winning games. If he

1815
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 2: hadn't gotten hurd, they might have been a playoff team

1816
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 2: all of a sudden. Now you throw a Hall of

1817
01:40:28,920 --> 01:40:33,440
Speaker 2: Fame quarterback into that mix, look out, they are potentially

1818
01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:36,679
Speaker 2: very good. But you still gotta do it ethan real quickly.

1819
01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:39,880
Speaker 2: You think Aaron Rodgers pulls it off in New York,

1820
01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:41,640
Speaker 2: and I'm not talking about just down the field, but

1821
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 2: with the New York media.

1822
01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:45,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so. I think he'll get it done.

1823
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:50,479
Speaker 8: I think Aaron's the type of guy that you know,

1824
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 8: faces challenges the right way. I don't think people give

1825
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 8: him enough credit. But you know, I'm wrong about a

1826
01:40:56,520 --> 01:40:57,080
Speaker 8: lot of things.

1827
01:40:57,120 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll see, and it'll be something fun

1828
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 2: to watch. And it's almost upon us. We're just this

1829
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:06,200
Speaker 2: side of July. Training camps will be here. And by

1830
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 2: the way, the Jets are playing Cleveland in the Hall

1831
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 2: of Fame game, which is just weeks away. All right,

1832
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:15,560
Speaker 2: coming up, we've got Chris Profet's World of Soccer. But

1833
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:18,360
Speaker 2: first let's go back to our guy, Kevin Figures with

1834
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:18,760
Speaker 2: the latest.

1835
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 4: All right, pretty dominant performance, I should say for Aaron

1836
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:24,560
Speaker 4: Gordon for the Denver Nuggets. Nicola Jokas has had a

1837
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:27,639
Speaker 4: great postseason so far, but Gordon really shined on Friday

1838
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 4: Night at game high twenty seven points, eleven to fifteen

1839
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:32,800
Speaker 4: from the field to leave the Nuggets to a one

1840
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 4: away to ninety five victory and Miami so they take

1841
01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:39,679
Speaker 4: a commanding three to one lead in the NBA Finals.

1842
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:41,880
Speaker 4: Do the Denver Nuggets. They can clinch their first NBA

1843
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:44,800
Speaker 4: championship with the winning Game five that will take place

1844
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:47,680
Speaker 4: on Monday nights in at Denver. You have baseball on

1845
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:50,120
Speaker 4: Friday night as well, Showyo Tiny going three for four

1846
01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 4: with a home run. He also pitched five innings for

1847
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:55,599
Speaker 4: the Angels. They defeated Seattle five to four. The Cup

1848
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 4: snapped a four game losing streak. They got a victory

1849
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:00,759
Speaker 4: in San Francisco three to two. It was a Padres

1850
01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 4: nine and the Rocky sixth Pirates had at the Mets

1851
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:04,599
Speaker 4: their seventh consecutive loss.

1852
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:05,120
Speaker 2: Peter A.

1853
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:07,360
Speaker 4: Lonzo was placed on the injured list with the left

1854
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:09,960
Speaker 4: wrist injury. He will be out three to four weeks.

1855
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 4: Victories for the Phillies, Red Sox, Braves and the Guardians,

1856
01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 4: who walked off Houston in fourteen innings by the score

1857
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:19,320
Speaker 4: of ten to nine. Defending champions have lost four games

1858
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:20,000
Speaker 4: in a row.

1859
01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:23,439
Speaker 2: Back to Bernie Frido. All right, thanks Kevin, good job, buddy,

1860
01:42:23,640 --> 01:42:29,120
Speaker 2: and of course, never a shortage of topics. Messi, He's

1861
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:32,080
Speaker 2: coming to the States. Sonny or Aby didn't get their man,

1862
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 2: but they got someone else. And by the way, we've

1863
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 2: got a Champions League final. That's why this time every

1864
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:39,760
Speaker 2: week we bring you Chrispherfetts World of Soccer.

1865
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 7: The greatest gools, the thrilling finishes, the international drama.

1866
01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1867
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:03,719
Speaker 2: Well, Chris, we've been doing this now for sixteen months,

1868
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:07,120
Speaker 2: and I was secretly hoping that Messi would end up

1869
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:09,680
Speaker 2: in Miami and nounce to reality. And he turned down

1870
01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:13,920
Speaker 2: a billion six, three years of billion six to not

1871
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:15,040
Speaker 2: go to Saudi Arabia.

1872
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 9: Your thoughts, the internet money pots of the Saudis right

1873
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 9: now seem to be touching all sports. Yes, he did

1874
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,919
Speaker 9: turn down quite a bit of money from Saudi Arabia,

1875
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:27,840
Speaker 9: but you know, it's not like he's taking two He's

1876
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:30,560
Speaker 9: not taking too much of a drastic pay cut to

1877
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:33,519
Speaker 9: go to the United States. And might be longer term

1878
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 9: wealth if we're being honest, Yes, Leonel Messi, probably the

1879
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:42,440
Speaker 9: greatest soccer player this generation has seen is coming stateside.

1880
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:47,479
Speaker 9: MLS Inter Miami CF put together. Well, we haven't gotten

1881
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:52,800
Speaker 9: the full details. Myself announced this while while discussing things.

1882
01:43:52,840 --> 01:43:55,559
Speaker 9: I know Barcelona was you know close in his mind

1883
01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:58,800
Speaker 9: as well as return to the Spanish club, but he

1884
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:00,439
Speaker 9: buy his own words, he didn't want to try to

1885
01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:03,360
Speaker 9: make anyone, you know, give up money or force anyone

1886
01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:07,839
Speaker 9: to leave to accept his salary, whereas MLS, quite honestly,

1887
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 9: they had You've talked about this a little bit before,

1888
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:13,720
Speaker 9: but they have had the ability to move a lot

1889
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:17,519
Speaker 9: of money around. You know, we don't have the contract

1890
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:20,559
Speaker 9: finalized yet, but I've heard everything from that. To get

1891
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:25,759
Speaker 9: personal ownership in inter Miami. Adidas, who owns the rights

1892
01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:29,679
Speaker 9: to his own particular images for versus the shoe deals,

1893
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:32,760
Speaker 9: is you know, tipping in some money as well Apple TV.

1894
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 9: He might be getting a cut of that. Messi going

1895
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:40,439
Speaker 9: to MLS. MLS is carried on Apple TV for their

1896
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:43,600
Speaker 9: league pass, and to be honest, like the effect of

1897
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:47,800
Speaker 9: Messy is already huge. Tickets have already skyrocketed at Inter

1898
01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 9: Miami for the games. Instagram followers like think about this.

1899
01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:56,639
Speaker 9: All thirty MLS thought to have fourteen million Instagram followers,

1900
01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:59,759
Speaker 9: we and know Messi has four hundred and seventy million,

1901
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:02,439
Speaker 9: and a lot of those have now picked up inter

1902
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:06,000
Speaker 9: Miamie like that. He has brought an unbelievable amount of

1903
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:10,600
Speaker 9: attention to the very league itself. It is a it

1904
01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 9: is a lightning bolt. As I've talked about before, the

1905
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 9: MLS commissioner because of the single Nteya has these powers

1906
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:20,280
Speaker 9: to make this happen. And this is probably the biggest,

1907
01:45:20,520 --> 01:45:24,080
Speaker 9: you know, effect on American soccer from the CU level

1908
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 9: since Pele game here in the what was it then.

1909
01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 2: By your Cosmos in the seventies, Yeah, the seventh course,

1910
01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:33,080
Speaker 2: Riving Beckham when he joined the LA Galaxy fifteen years ago.

1911
01:45:33,160 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 2: But you know what's most interesting about this contract, Chris, So,

1912
01:45:36,760 --> 01:45:39,120
Speaker 2: we've got twenty nine MLS teams are soon to have

1913
01:45:39,200 --> 01:45:42,559
Speaker 2: a thirtieth. Even though Inner Miami is a last place team,

1914
01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 2: they're valued at six hundred million dollars. It's my understanding

1915
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:51,120
Speaker 2: in his contract, the MLS is allowing Messy when he retires,

1916
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 2: to purchase a franchise for twenty five million, and Inner

1917
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:59,599
Speaker 2: Miami is valued at six hundred million. That's quite a deal.

1918
01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:02,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I mean, I mean the longer he plays

1919
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:04,840
Speaker 9: it inter Miami, the more he makes that things value

1920
01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:07,639
Speaker 9: go up too. It's a pretty sweetheart deal, all things

1921
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:09,720
Speaker 9: said and done. It's in thirteen years since we've seen

1922
01:46:09,760 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 9: a man like this take his balance to South Beach,

1923
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 9: and it seems it's gonna work out incredibly well for him,

1924
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:17,280
Speaker 9: even though he's not getting the massive amount of money

1925
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:20,120
Speaker 9: that this Saudi seemed content on throwing around.

1926
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:23,679
Speaker 2: I think the star power matters. When David Beckham joined

1927
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 2: back in he joined the La Galaxy back in twenty

1928
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:30,439
Speaker 2: oh seven, there were only thirteen MLS teams. There's now

1929
01:46:30,520 --> 01:46:32,439
Speaker 2: twenty nine, so there's well I think.

1930
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 9: And I would think to compare him to Beckham too,

1931
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 9: like I think Lionel Messi still still had some very

1932
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 9: good football still in him.

1933
01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:40,360
Speaker 2: I think he would a.

1934
01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:43,120
Speaker 9: Lot of the Barcelona things he's not. You know, MLS

1935
01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:44,679
Speaker 9: has always kind of been the butt of the joke

1936
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 9: of being a retirement league for a lot of guys,

1937
01:46:47,439 --> 01:46:50,680
Speaker 9: like like Gareth Bale and even David Beckham was kind

1938
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:52,240
Speaker 9: of near the end of his career when he took

1939
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:55,920
Speaker 9: the money from Galaxy, But Lionel Messi still is you know,

1940
01:46:56,200 --> 01:47:00,280
Speaker 9: I would say he's still a waya quality level layer.

1941
01:47:00,400 --> 01:47:02,640
Speaker 9: He's going to bring a lot of excitement and to

1942
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 9: be honest, MLS could really stand it because it is stateside.

1943
01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:09,719
Speaker 9: It is our version of the world's game. But compared

1944
01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:12,720
Speaker 9: to especially the waste of leagues out there, some of

1945
01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:15,040
Speaker 9: the quality play can really stand a good to be

1946
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:17,560
Speaker 9: taken up a notch, and Linnel Messi is absolutely the

1947
01:47:17,640 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 9: kind of player I think that if local fans in

1948
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 9: the United States are just going to be wowed by

1949
01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:26,320
Speaker 9: what he can do, even in his mid thirties.

1950
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 2: So Saudi Raby didn't get their number one choice, but

1951
01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:33,400
Speaker 2: they did offer another player a pretty giant contract. Yeah.

1952
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:36,559
Speaker 9: So this actually came out before any of the Leonel

1953
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 9: Messi stuff, and that was Kareem Benzima is getting a

1954
01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:43,560
Speaker 9: eyewatering amount of money. I think about six hundred and

1955
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:47,040
Speaker 9: fifty million all said and done over the course of

1956
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:49,679
Speaker 9: a three year contract with Saudi Club, all aid TOAHAT,

1957
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:55,960
Speaker 9: and I believe it comes. It's a lot like Christiano Ronaldo,

1958
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:57,559
Speaker 9: A lot of that money is going to be coming

1959
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:01,799
Speaker 9: from imaging rights. For those who might not know Benzimah,

1960
01:48:01,920 --> 01:48:05,320
Speaker 9: he is the second all time score for Real Madrid.

1961
01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:08,640
Speaker 9: He's been kind of the power to their offense in

1962
01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:12,679
Speaker 9: this run of Real Madrid in recent years. He's thirty

1963
01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:16,000
Speaker 9: five years old and it's been fourteen years to the

1964
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,880
Speaker 9: Spanish club and now he's going to lay out his

1965
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:22,120
Speaker 9: final day probably you know, tail end of his contract

1966
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:24,880
Speaker 9: is getting this money, and it's just it's a massive

1967
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:27,800
Speaker 9: amount of money. Benzima is a name and absolutely earns

1968
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 9: that kind of money. But it's I do wonder what

1969
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:35,559
Speaker 9: is going on with the Saudis that in this money

1970
01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:39,840
Speaker 9: to get thrown around to get players like this, because

1971
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:42,360
Speaker 9: unlike with MLF, I don't think they're really growing their

1972
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:45,960
Speaker 9: domestic league. But I think, yeah, I think that the

1973
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:48,560
Speaker 9: idea of it is more just again, it's imaging and

1974
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:50,800
Speaker 9: its tourism. You know, a lot of money going to

1975
01:48:50,880 --> 01:48:53,680
Speaker 9: Benzemah is an imaging and I'm sure, like Rinaldo, he

1976
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:58,160
Speaker 9: will be expected to be doing some tourism advertising for

1977
01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:02,360
Speaker 9: the Saudi State to get more visitors to their country.

1978
01:49:03,280 --> 01:49:05,760
Speaker 9: It's a fascinating move to see kind of players like

1979
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:08,640
Speaker 9: Ronaldo and Benzema and I think it's set up the

1980
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:11,160
Speaker 9: sign too for a lot of players, you know, in

1981
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:13,040
Speaker 9: their mid thirty or so. We will give you a

1982
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 9: ton of money if you are a world name to

1983
01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 9: come over here and you know, play play a little

1984
01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:18,679
Speaker 9: bit of soccer.

1985
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:21,559
Speaker 2: It's a formula that's proven to work and I think

1986
01:49:21,600 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 2: it'll get even bigger. And I agree with you Messi's

1987
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:27,320
Speaker 2: he's got some gas in the tank. The rumor was

1988
01:49:27,400 --> 01:49:31,960
Speaker 2: had Argentina not won the World Cup last December, he

1989
01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:34,320
Speaker 2: might have returned for one more bite at the apples,

1990
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,840
Speaker 2: so that was what was missing. Finally, Chris and big

1991
01:49:36,960 --> 01:49:38,479
Speaker 2: Champions League game on Saturday.

1992
01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:43,000
Speaker 9: Yes, Manchester City, Internazi and Al Milan. It is the

1993
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:47,400
Speaker 9: finet of the soccer season as we know it, the

1994
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 9: last thing to be played. I think the big question

1995
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:54,960
Speaker 9: is all eyes are on Manchester City. Can they complete

1996
01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:57,000
Speaker 9: the treble. They've won the Premier League, They've won the

1997
01:49:57,160 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 9: FA Cups in England now here it is the glory

1998
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 9: for all of Europe. Internaziel Milan has been a fantastic story,

1999
01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:10,240
Speaker 9: especially with they've got some absolute brilliant players like Edwin

2000
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:13,599
Speaker 9: Jeco and Kevin de Bruyna. But I think the bigger

2001
01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 9: story for them is looming, is financial penalties on the horizon.

2002
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:20,360
Speaker 9: It kind of feels like this is a club that

2003
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:22,680
Speaker 9: got here on a bit of house money. They can

2004
01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:24,640
Speaker 9: play a little bit of loose and free, whereas for

2005
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:27,840
Speaker 9: Manchester City this is a chance at the all time

2006
01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:30,080
Speaker 9: glory and they certainly have the firepower to do it.

2007
01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:33,040
Speaker 9: But be it Earling Holland, who is that Screwe just

2008
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:36,320
Speaker 9: number nine monster to go out there. But it's not

2009
01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:38,600
Speaker 9: like he's going to be playing Avalon. Rubin Diaz is

2010
01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:42,640
Speaker 9: in fantastic in this tournament as well. I think I

2011
01:50:42,680 --> 01:50:45,120
Speaker 9: said to Bruyne, I think I accidentally put him on

2012
01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:49,280
Speaker 9: the inter Milan. He's for man City and you know

2013
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:53,280
Speaker 9: Bernaldo Silva that like I think this is Manchester squad

2014
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:58,120
Speaker 9: is just absolutely loaded. I think they are absolutely the

2015
01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:02,120
Speaker 9: favorites going in here. We will see noon Pacific time

2016
01:51:02,640 --> 01:51:05,320
Speaker 9: coming to you live from Istanbul. It's going to be

2017
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:06,400
Speaker 9: a fantastic match.

2018
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 2: They look very impressive last Saturday against man You and

2019
01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 2: I guess it's will we be able to see that

2020
01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:16,320
Speaker 2: game state side here, Chris? Is that on any channels?

2021
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:16,479
Speaker 2: You know?

2022
01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:18,840
Speaker 9: Yes, that would be on I don't know if the

2023
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:22,000
Speaker 9: terrestrial CBS, one of those channels might be carrying it.

2024
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:22,600
Speaker 10: I know I have.

2025
01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 9: Paramount plots and I always kind of watch my Champions

2026
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:27,120
Speaker 9: League there, but I think it'll be carried by like

2027
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:29,759
Speaker 9: CBS or one of their one of their specific channels.

2028
01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:34,000
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, buddy was seeing about twenty four hours. No,

2029
01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:38,840
Speaker 2: thank you, Chris Purfetz. World of Soccer. This messy contract

2030
01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:43,040
Speaker 2: is nuts. But I gotta tell you. Coming to enter

2031
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:47,040
Speaker 2: Miami in MLS, I think it's a win win for MESSI,

2032
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:51,160
Speaker 2: it's a win win for American soccer. It has become

2033
01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:56,400
Speaker 2: somewhat routine for international soccer superstars to join MLS at

2034
01:51:56,439 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 2: the end of their careers. You've seen Darry Henry do it.

2035
01:51:59,200 --> 01:52:02,080
Speaker 2: It's a lot of time. It's fantastic in La Leonel

2036
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:06,800
Speaker 2: MESSI whole different ballgame coming up. We wrap up the show.

2037
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:08,920
Speaker 2: I'll take you behind the curtain as to some of

2038
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:13,840
Speaker 2: the contentious statements being made as Nevada lawmakers questioned whether

2039
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:17,360
Speaker 2: or not to vote to bring the Oakland A's to

2040
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. I'm Bernie Frattle for company line from the

01:52:39,280 --> 01:52:44,240
Speaker 2: studios here in Las Vegas, Nevada, Fox Sports Radio. Before

2046
01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:46,040
Speaker 2: I go any further, I want to thank my broadcast

2047
01:52:46,120 --> 01:52:49,320
Speaker 2: team back in Los Angeles. They've been with me since

2048
01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:53,719
Speaker 2: eleven pm Pacific, turning all the dials, keeping us glued together.

2049
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:58,000
Speaker 2: Kevin figures on the updates, Mark Ramsey are technical producer,

2050
01:52:58,520 --> 01:53:02,240
Speaker 2: and of course Miller guide in the ship as well,

2051
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:05,000
Speaker 2: and thanks to him for all his work and creating

2052
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:07,719
Speaker 2: the trivia game. Week ten is now in the books.

2053
01:53:08,439 --> 01:53:13,000
Speaker 2: Ethan will have the latest standings and updates Monday morning,

2054
01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 2: and of course we're already there are I think two

2055
01:53:19,960 --> 01:53:23,400
Speaker 2: weeks left, Week eleven and week twelve, and they'll crown

2056
01:53:23,479 --> 01:53:26,680
Speaker 2: the first champion and then Ethan already working on a

2057
01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 2: second twelve week contest which would probably commence right around July.

2058
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:34,200
Speaker 2: The first I'm guessing would take us well into football season.

2059
01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:36,680
Speaker 2: So thanks to all the callers, thanks to all the

2060
01:53:36,720 --> 01:53:40,599
Speaker 2: folks who checked in their best shot on Trivian. We've

2061
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:42,479
Speaker 2: got six live bets out there. We'll see how we

2062
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:45,320
Speaker 2: do over the next two or three days as I

2063
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:52,920
Speaker 2: compete against the listeners. So Monday, June fifth, the eighty

2064
01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:58,840
Speaker 2: second Legislative session adjourned without even voting on State Bill

2065
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:01,439
Speaker 2: SB five O nine. I'm having to do with whether

2066
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:03,599
Speaker 2: or not we're going to bring the a's to base.

2067
01:54:05,479 --> 01:54:09,080
Speaker 2: That meant that they needed to set up a special

2068
01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:11,920
Speaker 2: session at a cost of two hundred and fifty thousand

2069
01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:15,759
Speaker 2: dollars a day to taxpayers. And it happened. This special

2070
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:19,679
Speaker 2: session convened Wednesday. They talked into Thursday. They had journed

2071
01:54:19,760 --> 01:54:24,400
Speaker 2: Thursday without even voting. So this is a highly charged

2072
01:54:24,640 --> 01:54:31,600
Speaker 2: subject and it will start out with the vote in

2073
01:54:31,640 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 2: the Senate, the State Senate, and they'll need eleven to ten.

2074
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:36,560
Speaker 2: They'll need eleven to ten for it to advance to

2075
01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:39,200
Speaker 2: the State Assembly. And it's not gonna be easy. Right

2076
01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:42,760
Speaker 2: right now, the minor standing is eight people are for it,

2077
01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:46,880
Speaker 2: eight people are against it, and five are undecided. This weekend,

2078
01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:50,160
Speaker 2: I believe addendums are being drafted to sweeten the pot.

2079
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:54,440
Speaker 2: Lobbyists are working overtime. So this is going to go

2080
01:54:54,480 --> 01:54:56,240
Speaker 2: down with the wire. We shall see what happens. It's

2081
01:54:56,280 --> 01:54:59,040
Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty deal. People keep asking me, gun

2082
01:54:59,120 --> 01:55:00,960
Speaker 2: to my head? Do I think it's going to happen?

2083
01:55:01,040 --> 01:55:02,880
Speaker 2: Got into my head. I actually probably think it's going

2084
01:55:02,920 --> 01:55:05,480
Speaker 2: to happen. But over the past few months, the way

2085
01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:08,560
Speaker 2: it's been reported like it was some automatic, done deal, well,

2086
01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:12,360
Speaker 2: that's irresponsible journalism. That is simply not the case. I mean,

2087
01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:16,080
Speaker 2: this started eight nine weeks ago and you know respected

2088
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:19,320
Speaker 2: national outlets. Yeah, a'sed to Vegas. Well based on what

2089
01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:21,520
Speaker 2: you don't know that we didn't even have an artist

2090
01:55:21,560 --> 01:55:25,760
Speaker 2: rendering at the time. Here is a sample of some

2091
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:31,480
Speaker 2: of the dialogue and some of the rhetoric. This from

2092
01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 2: Senator Rochelle Win, a Democrat part of the legislature, And

2093
01:55:37,440 --> 01:55:41,440
Speaker 2: again I think these people are are very articulate. Lawmakers

2094
01:55:41,480 --> 01:55:43,840
Speaker 2: got a chance to direct their questions to the a's

2095
01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:48,240
Speaker 2: leadership and the Las Vegas Convinced in Visitors Bureau, and

2096
01:55:48,480 --> 01:55:54,400
Speaker 2: they have an applied analysis analyst that's participating, and they went,

2097
01:55:54,800 --> 01:55:56,800
Speaker 2: you know, deep into Wednesday night without a vote, and

2098
01:55:56,920 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 2: then Thursday they were hoping for a vote. Thursday didn't happen.

2099
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:03,280
Speaker 2: And this is an example. I'm gonna there's a quote

2100
01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:04,960
Speaker 2: here I want to quote. I want to get this correct.

2101
01:56:05,520 --> 01:56:10,040
Speaker 2: This is Senator Rochelle Gwynn from Las Vegas, a Democrat.

2102
01:56:10,160 --> 01:56:13,120
Speaker 2: He says, you called us in here for a special

2103
01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:16,800
Speaker 2: session and are asking minimally for the state to give

2104
01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:19,040
Speaker 2: you all thirty six million per year for the next

2105
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 2: five years for a tax payer funded stadium. At the

2106
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:25,920
Speaker 2: same time, the governor has vetoed funding for summer school.

2107
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:29,839
Speaker 2: I'll build a support children's mental health. I'll bill requiring

2108
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 2: paid family leave, all because the governor said we couldn't

2109
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:38,560
Speaker 2: afford it. End quote got pretty rough. Other lawmakers, such

2110
01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:42,840
Speaker 2: as Senator Edgar Flores, he pushed to presenters on how

2111
01:56:42,920 --> 01:56:45,920
Speaker 2: the community would benefit from the ease relocation in southern Nevada.

2112
01:56:46,680 --> 01:56:51,120
Speaker 2: His quote was, we are quote incredibly hesitant. Referencing previous

2113
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:54,280
Speaker 2: promises made when the Raiders came to Vegas, he said,

2114
01:56:54,280 --> 01:56:58,320
Speaker 2: we're not fulfilled. Again. This is all taken from the

2115
01:56:58,440 --> 01:57:03,080
Speaker 2: minutes at the session this earlier this week, Flores asked

2116
01:57:03,160 --> 01:57:06,680
Speaker 2: what community benefit programs were done in Oakland, suggested investing

2117
01:57:06,720 --> 01:57:09,560
Speaker 2: in more community benefits in a potential partnership with Nevada,

2118
01:57:10,080 --> 01:57:14,480
Speaker 2: including more donations to phone banks, scholarships, and littley clinics.

2119
01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:17,720
Speaker 2: He says we're just asking for a little more buy in. Okay,

2120
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:21,480
Speaker 2: here's the thing. The Oakland A's at the end of

2121
01:57:21,520 --> 01:57:24,280
Speaker 2: the day may come to Vegas. They won't play a

2122
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:28,160
Speaker 2: game here before twenty twenty eight for multiple reasons, which

2123
01:57:28,160 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 2: you'll get into again on Saturday night. And the lease

2124
01:57:31,160 --> 01:57:32,840
Speaker 2: ends in Oakland in twenty twenty fourth. We are you

2125
01:57:32,880 --> 01:57:34,760
Speaker 2: gonna play for three years. That's another thing that's got

2126
01:57:34,840 --> 01:57:37,840
Speaker 2: to be resolved. The construction and the rubble and all

2127
01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 2: the resultant interruptions on Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana. These

2128
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:44,560
Speaker 2: are things that are gonna have to be worked out.
