Why are my stars not playing 31 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: all of these fun things? But it's become a perpetual cycle. 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 3: It's like trying to solve the All Star Game that 33 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 3: we I think that ship sailed a long time ago, right. 34 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: In terms of what it is. 35 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: But for the NBA. 36 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 3: Limping in because unfortunately we have had a lot of 37 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: dnps this last week as people turned their attention from 38 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl into the Olympics and the NBA. It's like, 39 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 3: give me something, one last yes, before you get to 40 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: your All Star break. 41 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: You know, the thing is with the All Star break first, 42 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: because we had big, big tanking news today. Finally Adam 43 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: Silver is saying, oh, I have to do some things. 44 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: I'm the commissioner. But like everybody is so bent out 45 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: of shape about the All Star Game. Oh, the All 46 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: Star Game is terrible. The All Star Game is this? 47 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: The Alstar Game is not what i'd row. I think you. 48 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: I think people have this distorted vision of what the 49 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: All Star Game really was, like like the All Star 50 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: Games were ninety five ninety two, you know, and there 51 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: were big free throws made at the end. Like the 52 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: All Star Games with Magic and Kobe and Jordan weren't 53 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: one eighty five to one sixty year. They were forty 54 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: eight minutes of great defense, back and forth. We cared, 55 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: we can't. Yeah, uh, look, people have this this different 56 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: in vision of what the All Star Game really was. 57 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: It's like when when Homer thought, oh I remember that specifically, 58 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: and he thinks back to memory and he's all buff 59 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: and he's got muscles and he's smart, Like, no, none 60 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: of that happened. But like, everybody is so wound up, 61 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: whether fans or the media, about how bad the All 62 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 1: Star Game is, and I want to just say, what 63 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: the hell, why why are you so bent out of 64 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 1: shape about this? The All Star Game is here, they're 65 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: gonna play it. Then it's gonna be gone, and we're 66 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: gonna be into the rest of the NBA season, Like, 67 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: I don't see where this is now. Okay, now this 68 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: is in my way, this is preventing me from enjoying 69 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: my life because the All Star Game has turned out. Okay, 70 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: I get it, but like, I don't know if people 71 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: just want to wake up every day and be mad 72 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: about something. But the All Star Game has kind of 73 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 1: been this way for a long time. 74 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: But put it of life in general though, right, you 75 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: romanticize things of how you now perceive them, whether it's 76 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: a relationship, a job, or whatever else. Somehow, in hindsight, 77 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: for most people, it seems like you find some of 78 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: the positive. I remember that that was cool. We used 79 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: to do that, or this was you know, it was 80 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: every once in a while. You know it was a 81 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: red wine Friday or whatever the case may be. Yeah, 82 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: you have all of those kinds of service year or oh, 83 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: just talking in general, I mean, take it to where 84 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: you're gonna go. 85 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: But just the idea that no, no, no, you still 86 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: had the same foils, you still had life wasn't great. 87 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 3: Go back and look at your history books. It's littered 88 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: with hey remember that. It's like no, I really don't. 89 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that was bad, you know, and things and 90 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: even in your personal life, your family stuff, things that 91 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: were going on, but years later you push it away. Likewise, 92 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: sports we romanticize how things were. And to some degree, yeah, 93 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: it might have been easier when you didn't have instant 94 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: replay after everything to show you what you might have seen. 95 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: Let's get it down to where its. 96 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 3: Frame frame for there there, see right there, we didn't 97 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: have that. It's like, all right, if the call got missed, 98 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: you moved on. Maybe your local news made a deal 99 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 3: out of it, or they didn't. But the fact that 100 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 3: all these players must have been nine feet tall, like 101 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 3: the mon stars you're running them us. Sure, that's kind 102 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: of how we look at the nineties. And look, I'm 103 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: guilty of it. I'm a Jordan kid, right, I'm a 104 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: Chicago boy. But the reality is the All Star Game 105 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 3: has long been a showcase, a feature set, and I 106 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: think the only thing I would agree with in terms 107 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: of it losing its luster, it's not the gameplay. It's 108 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 3: the fact that we see these guys all the time. 109 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 110 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: Back of the day, the NBA on NBC and even 111 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 3: into TNT or whatever else, would you get the same 112 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 3: eight to twelve teams showed up all the time. 113 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: So when it came to the All Star weekend, Hey, 114 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: I heard about that guy that plays for Charlotte or 115 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: I heard about that guy, right, So that's really the 116 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: only difference to me is that we've got so much 117 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: a saturation of product that maybe the All Star Game 118 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: doesn't have the same juice that way. Well, and also, 119 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: you know, people have to understand that now in the 120 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: sports world that is always you know, hot take oriented, 121 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: this is the worst, this is the best. Like it's 122 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: okay that something can be fun and then you move on, right, like, okay, 123 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: you watch you All Star game. Yeah, it's fun. You 124 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: get you get some you get some great athletic plays, 125 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: you laugh a little bit. You know, again, the game 126 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: is two ten to do you know, one to ninety five, 127 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: and now they're gonna change the format and try to 128 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: keep people watching it. Look, all all Star games are 129 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: doing right now? Are just trying to keep people around? 130 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: Are you just trying to slow the decline because you know, 131 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: less people are watching because All Star games aren't the 132 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: same and not what they used to be. So there's 133 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with ay, Okay, I can enjoy this and 134 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: move on. And if I don't like it, okay, but 135 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: to suddenly it gets to All Star weekend and every 136 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: NBA fan media just wants to stand up and with 137 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: fire and brimstone and talk about how the basically that 138 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: the decline and fall of Western civilization is because the 139 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: NBA All Star Game isn't what it you said part three, dude, 140 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: it's an All Star game and yeah it was heavy three. 141 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: Yeah number two was heavy metal. And now there's this. 142 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: I don't get why people are so bent out of shit. 143 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: Something can just be fun without a bigger meaning, right, 144 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: it doesn't need to be I want to see blood 145 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: on the floor of the All Star Game. No, it's 146 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: the NBA All Star Game. It is what it is, 147 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: and it's not. So we're gonna go on to the 148 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: second half of the season. Everything's gonna be fine. We're 149 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: gonna get back to playing. Yeah, we're gonna have some 150 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: fun this weekend. A just enjoy the fact that everybody's 151 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: getting together. Maybe you're not gonna walk away and go, wow, 152 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: this is the most tremendous experience I had. But this 153 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: what all star games are. It's easy to be something that. Okay, 154 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: if the All Star Game isn't what it used to be, 155 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: you don't think is what it used to be. Just 156 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: just understand why are you so upset about it? Like 157 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: why is this really just triggered people to just be like, 158 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: this is we have to get rid of the All 159 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: Star Game, and now it's getting folded into all the 160 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: other stuff with the tanking that's now really taking center stage. 161 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: But why is this something that suddenly, oh no, this 162 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: is this is where I'm chosen to h this is 163 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: the hell I'm gonna die on the All Star Game 164 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: of the NBA. This is everything I can point to 165 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: that's wrong in my life. I point back to the 166 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: All Star You gotta blame somebody. Adam Silver seems to 167 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: be a convenient option right now, But I mean, Billy 168 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: Joel's saying it all those years ago, the good old 169 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: days weren't always good tomorrow and as bad as a 170 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: seem go back just less than a week ago, right 171 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: when we were talking about the Super Bowl halftime show 172 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: and how divisive and weird it got in the world 173 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: at large, in our sports media space whatever. It recognize 174 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: that not everything is for you from minute one to 175 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: its final thing. You can go get a sandwich, as 176 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: we suggested, people did go walk the dog, Go grab 177 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: a beer, go to the bathroom, Go say hi to 178 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: the people that showed up at your house. Whatever it is. 179 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: Life will go on. Exit out by to Fresca, Exit 180 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: Swalling Dome. Jason Smith Mike Harmon, Live from the Fox 181 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios. Now, the other part of today is 182 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: that look tanking in the NBA has been done out 183 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: loud for a long time, but this year everything is 184 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: sort of coming to a head at once because we 185 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: have a great freshman class in college basketball, and you 186 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: have one of any three or four players could be 187 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: taken number one overall. So when you're looking at NBA 188 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 1: teams going okay, yeah, we don't think we're gonna be 189 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: any good. Hey, all we have to do is get 190 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: in the top three. We're gonna get a guy we want, right, 191 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: That's what it is, right, Okay. So now you're seeing 192 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: teams not playing players in the fourth quarter of games 193 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: because even the Clippers, who went on a sixteen and 194 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: three run, they just will decide, yeah, we're done, We're 195 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: not really gonna compare. We're gonna trade hard, and we're 196 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna get rid of zoobots. We're gonna do 197 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: all of this. So the tanking going on right now 198 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: because of this is now put this to a point 199 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: where finally Adam Silver has to act. And today the 200 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: Jazz and the Pacers got fined a ton of money 201 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: by Adam Silver standards five hundred grand for the Jazz 202 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: and one hundred grand for the Pacers because both teams 203 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: recent games sat healthy players. While noting that the moves 204 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: compromise its integrity, it's not gonna be tolerated. So basically 205 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: what it was was Jazz and Pacers in the fourth 206 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: quarter of games didn't play their best players. In fact, 207 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: when Will Hardy was asked, hey, why didn't you play 208 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: Larry Markinen in the fourth quarter against the heat? You 209 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: ever think about doing it? 210 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: No? 211 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: Wasn't doing it? No, not doing it? So asked answered yes. 212 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: So look and congratulations to everybody who has come around 213 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: to the fact that, hey, you know, Adam Silver is 214 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: not a great commissioner. I went back on Twitter and 215 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: I went back It's been eight years of me saying 216 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: eight doesn't want to do anything. That's the thing about 217 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: Adam Silver. Eight years bun, I'm looking for go. Where's 218 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: the first time I said? I'm going back through a 219 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff. This is like looking at Adam 220 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: Silver's greatest it's oh yeah, oh Mark Cuban, anything about 221 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: no Yiannis, No, nothing about that. Okay, I'm going through here. 222 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: Okay this no, oh, this suspension up right here? Okay, 223 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: Chris Paul Noe all a back like eight years. He 224 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: has never wanted to do anything. He doesn't want to 225 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: upset the owners, he doesn't want to upset the players. 226 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to do anything, and he only acts 227 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: when he absolutely has to. And now he's got to 228 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: do something because now teams are not just tanking. Now 229 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: they're tanking saying yeah, and we're kicking sand in your face, 230 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: saying we don't give a crap. We're gonna tank and 231 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: we don't care. We'll even answer questions postgame about it 232 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: and say, yeah, not thinking about it, not gonna try 233 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: to talk around it. We are just going to tank 234 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: because this is the world that we live in. And 235 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: now finally Adam Silver says, well, I'm gonna find teams 236 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: oh okay, so yeah, so the heat that hundred grand, Yeah, 237 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: that's really going to stop them from saying, hey, we're 238 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: putting extra ping pong balls in the lottery, like Adam 239 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: Silver has never wanted to do anything again. Eight years. 240 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: I've been telling you that. Now suddenly in the last 241 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: couple of days, Oh, Adam Silver is really screat Yeah, 242 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: he's been this way for a long time. You talk 243 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: about ahead of the curve. Curve didn't even exist. We 244 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: were talking about this eight years ago. And now finally 245 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: he's starting to dip his toe in the waters. Up. 246 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna find you if you do this. You let 247 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: this get so out of control. Right, it's been going 248 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: on like this for a long time. But you never 249 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: want to step in to do anything. Anytime there's a controversy, 250 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: he's silent about it. He wait to see which way 251 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: the wind blows and then maybe he'll say something when 252 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: it's gone. Whether it's about China, whether it's about tanking, 253 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: whether it's about whatever it is, whether it's about fighting 254 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: and suspensions. He just wants to sit back and do nothing. 255 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to upset anybody. The players love they 256 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: have him where he's appened, like, hey, he does whatever 257 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: we want. He doesn't get involved in us. We're good man. 258 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: We love at himself. That's why they always always say 259 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: great things about him because he never he never goes 260 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: against them for anything. Does it go against owners either. Again. 261 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: He wants to sit at his desk in New York 262 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: and polish his name plate and say, hey, I'm gonna 263 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: send this email out the bottom, says Adam Silver, NBA commissioner. 264 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: He wants to do nothing, and now he's being forced 265 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: to waigh in on this, which it's about time, but 266 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: nothing close to what has to get done because team 267 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: is still gonna sit there. Get put the genie back 268 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: in the bottle. The fact that you legitimately have a 269 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: team saying hey, we're. 270 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: Competitive through three quarters of the game, and ah, I'm 271 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 3: gonna sit my best guy down and let's see how 272 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 3: it goes like. 273 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: That's what we're at. 274 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: It's not even a hey, let's feign something on an 275 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: injury report so he's unavailable altogether. 276 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: Hey, you tweaked your back getting out of bed, right, 277 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: you tripped on one of your kids toys.

Stuart got seven games. Yeah, he's a multi 286 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: time offender. Oh yeah, but this isn't new with him. 287 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: Seven games, Yeah, okay, he'll be nice and fresh for 288 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: the postseason. Run ran twenty five games instead of a season, right, 289 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: jamran twenty five games? 290 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 5: Right? 291 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: Did you just spend your day updating the end Adam 292 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: Silver's Wikipedia pages because you started going back eight years? Like, wow, 293 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: I got a lot of instances here. I could command 294 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: like three chapters. I was like, this is like the 295 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: best of him, Like I'll remember that. I needed that. 296 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: And I mean, he doesn't want to do anything. And 297 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: there are commissioners that make bad decisions. They're commissioners that 298 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: that make strong decisions that turn out bad. There's commissioners 299 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: that make strong decisions that turn out great. I think 300 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: if you put all the big decisions that in front 301 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: of Adam Silver for the last eight years, his record 302 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: would look like what was it in ted Lasso two 303 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: years ago when they tied like twelve games in a row, 304 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: Like it would look like two wins, eight losses and 305 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: forty five ties, like because the ties all stand for nothing, 306 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: Like when I do nothing because of the tie, that 307 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: would be like two eight and forty five, all those 308 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: ties in a row. 309 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 3: You know what the problem, though, is because they've been 310 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 3: able to expand the league and now we're going to 311 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 3: have a couple of new franchises and the money's pouring in. 312 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell has been following his suit. Now, remember he 313 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: was a hard ass all those years ago. Now it's like, 314 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do?

It's insane. Now now I am jealous of that. 529 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: I am not gonna lie now you you you compare 530 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: that to where Olympic hockey is, and it's two entirely 531 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: different things. Because everybody was seeing blood today. 532 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 4: Uh. 533 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: Now the United States beats lat Via today, they hold 534 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: doctor Dooman check five to one, and uh it didn't 535 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: look great. After the first period was tied one one, 536 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: the United States had two goals disallowed, one for an 537 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: offsides call that I'm like, yeah, okay, maybe I could 538 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: I could see it, but the goalie interference call that 539 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: stopped the second goal from going up was absolutely ridiculous. 540 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: And the fact that Latvian coaches challenges twice and he 541 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: wins both challenges. This is where my antenna is up 542 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: and I go, you know what, we are not going 543 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: to be officiated fairly, right, and forget about this stuff 544 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: with chalk and bates, which we'll get to shock and 545 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: baits your team. I get to the Olympics and I 546 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 1: go I know that the United States is never going 547 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: to be officiated fairly in anything. It's always gonna be 548 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: much more strict and whenever they can put their thumb 549 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: on the scale, they can, because you can't tell me 550 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: that was goalie interference. It was the most ridiculous having 551 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 1: a conversation and the fact the coach knew to oh, 552 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm like, I don't know any coaching would say, yeah, 553 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gona appeal for goalie interference, Like what, like, 554 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: how would you do that? If you didn't, you were 555 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: gonna get it right. So when I saw that, and 556 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: in the between first second period, I'm thinking, we're gonna 557 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: tie this game against Latvia. It's gonna be awful, and 558 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be pissed. And then of course the second 559 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: period comes and they roll out and they score a 560 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: couple of goals and you breathe easier, and you know, 561 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 1: the one goal that Hellabuk gave up was a big 562 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: scramble in front. So things are okay, but like, I 563 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: have no doubt in my mind. This is where I 564 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: come down when I go, yeah, I know how we're 565 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: gonna get officiated. And it's not great. It is absolutely 566 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: not great because you can't tell me that you can't 567 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: worry about it when you see calls like this made. 568 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: We've lost to Canada before in big moments where hey, 569 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: the official doesn't let the puck go by and they 570 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: can keep it in the zone and score a big goal, 571 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: like I like, and I just sit there and say, 572 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: something's going to happen. There's gonna be a controversial call, 573 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: and two in the first perioding has Latvia today. I'm like, 574 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: come on, and and you know, you see the makeup 575 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: of the of the officiating crews and where they're all from. 576 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: And again, you're not gonna convince me that. I feel 577 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: like tm USA is going to go out there and 578 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: get officiat down the middle just like everybody else. The 579 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: entirelymics not gonna happen, because I don't know how you 580 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: go back, you look at the goldie interference and you 581 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: say that's goalie interference. I don't know how anybody looks 582 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: at that and says goalie interference. 583 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, the over under was six and a half goals 584 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 3: the United States twenty one hundred minus twenty one hundred 585 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 3: faith might. 586 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 2: Not the under. I have the under. 587 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm gonna We're just gonna get that out the board. 588 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: In the United States it was three and a half 589 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: was the spread, and gold differential as well. 590 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 3: So you got that going for I mean, you had 591 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 3: one of the prettiest goals you'll ever see. But that's 592 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 3: where you, as as a fan on your couch or 593 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 3: lazy boy or whatever you have going on there, you 594 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 3: need to channel your inner snowboarder. 595 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: Yeah.

I got to recuse myself 634 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: here because I shouldn't be involved in this because even 635 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: so like that, that's something I think should happen.

So did not have this story on 792 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: my Bengo card today, but you know, hey, when you 793 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,959 Speaker 1: bring a beer in a dugout, yeah, it's a thing. 794 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: So Nick Costeanos again, we're not gonna have any deep 795 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 1: drives to left by Costianos for the Phillies anymore. It's 796 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: been there the last five years. Has had moments, also 797 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,959 Speaker 1: not had great moments, and it came out a couple 798 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 1: of days ago. The Phillies told him to stay home 799 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: from spring training. Well wait a minute, this is a 800 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,919 Speaker 1: guy that's been playing left field last he was twenty 801 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: one and seventy five. Okay, wait wait, stay at home? Yeah, 802 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: because look like they're going to release him. Okay, well 803 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: kind of weird. Let's see what happened. It happened today 804 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: Phillies let Consteanods go. And the reason put out there 805 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: was stemming from an incident that happened late in the 806 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: season in which Costeanos disagreed with the decision that manager 807 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: Rob Thompson made and he was taken out of the game. Now, 808 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure for Costianos is not just on out of 809 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: the game once that this was something that was built 810 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: at and built around for a little while, and he 811 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: was so upset that getting taken out of a game, 812 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: not happy with how Thompson was managing the team. To 813 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: prove a point, he went out to He left the dugout, 814 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: went into the locker room, got a beer, and brought 815 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: a beer back into the dugout, walked up, sat next 816 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: to Thompson and said, basically, hey, your way of managing, 817 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 1: of going crazy for some things and allowing other things 818 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: to fly by, is not a good way to manage. 819 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: And now luckily teammates saw it. Dude, you can't drink 820 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: a beer and this is gonna make us all look bad. 821 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: So they got the beer from him before he actually 822 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 1: drank it. In the dugout. He didn't like say that 823 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 1: to Thompson, just started chugging and people are going go, go, go, 824 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: go go. 825 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 3: I mean if he'd gone full stone cold Steve Austin 826 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 3: smashed two of them together over his head. 827 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: Hey picked me up so I could do an invert Kekestan. 828 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. So they got him away from it, 829 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: and the relationship between he and the team and Thompson 830 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: was never the same after that. And he owned up 831 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: to it today and said, yes, had the beer near 832 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: incident the dugout, and he talked about it. So I'm 833 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: glad the guys got to me before I made a 834 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: situation worse. But this goes to show you this is 835 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 1: how mad things got. That the dude was so upset 836 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 1: that he decided I'm gonna go pour a beer and 837 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 1: drink it in the dugout. 838 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 3: Well, his day was done, Like yeah, in theory, sure 839 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 3: he can't do anything else. So he just took him 840 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 3: out of the game. 841 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,919 Speaker 1: No, I get that, but okay, so you can. 842 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 3: You're really not defending it, but I'm just saying legitimately, 843 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 3: he's not running back out onto the field. 844 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: No, no, no, But it's like he walked out like 845 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: Al Bundy with one hand in his pants and I'm 846 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 1: just sit down and it'll recline her and go hey 847 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: peg No. I mean this is him walking in with 848 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 1: the beer. Now, not only gonna just do with a beer, 849 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it because I really want the 850 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: manager to understand how he's been managing here. And apparently 851 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: Castianos was on his own island with that because everybody 852 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 1: else seemed to be okay, and now he's the one 853 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: that's out. 854 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 3: Well, it is Philadelphia, So I mean, we've got a 855 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 3: long standing run of teams where. 856 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,919 Speaker 1: It's like, really it's a bit odd. 857 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 3: If you think about the Sixers and the odyssey of 858 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 3: Joel Embiide. 859 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: You know how many guys you've been back in the 860 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 1: seventies brought beer to dugout and on sidelines during games. 861 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: They all did everywhere. Philled out the Eagles fill He's everywhere. 862 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: All they all did, all brought beer in. How do 863 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: you think Pete Rose got that bowl cut? These guys 864 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 1: are all slashed by the time he got to the 865 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, but it didn't matter. They were playing well. 866 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: Hilt in the ball. You just you know, if he 867 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: saw three balls coming at him. He swung at the 868 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,959 Speaker 1: one in the middle, and he did well. It's good advice, yeah, 869 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 1: but like I can't get over that. This is where 870 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: you're at, where you're drinking a peer in the dugout, 871 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: and it's and it's and it's not something that you think, Okay, 872 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: you know what, Maybe i'm a little I mean, I'm 873 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: a little out of control here, a little bit, just 874 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: a tiny, tiny bit. Well, but you need someone to 875 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: center you and ground you, and you don't always have 876 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 1: that guy. Maybe he was a man on an island 877 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 1: with the team. Maybe he didn't have the you know, 878 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: the support he felt he needed in that moment. He 879 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: didn't feel heard, felt his aggression was necessary to bring 880 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: things to a head, not recognizing, of course, there would 881 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:48,959 Speaker 1: be consequent I mean, he's still gonna get his twenty 882 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: million dollars final year of his five year, one hundred 883 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: million dollars deal, because I don't what's the statute of 884 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: limitations If you did that last year, I bet shit 885 00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,720 Speaker 1: a bunch you didn't play a lot. 886 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 2: We went a whole off season. 887 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 3: I don't think you can now say, you know what, 888 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 3: we're not paying you, we're finally a grievance. Yeah, yeah, 889 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 3: you're also gonna lose to the players Union. 890 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: Like about that. You're eating twenty million dollars just to 891 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 1: have him go away, right, you're eating that money to 892 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 1: say go away.

I can't fathom that. And it's 897 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: just like I get that if you blow up at 898 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: the manager, you blow up outside, if you get mad 899 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: in the dugout, like we see that, right, we see, 900 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: you know, an emotional decision.
