00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: to call college basketball. Say hello to the inimitable Alan

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: Boston Allen.

00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: How are you, buddy, Oh brother? The hyperble is unrelenting.

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: I'm hanging in there. Yeah, I prepared a little better

Speaker 3: tonight's show. I'm gonna fall asleep.

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: Well we're gonna do two segments, and I know people

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: have been looking forward to this You can, of course

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: follow Allen on Twitter at Boston Read eighty eight. Aaron,

23
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: let's start with this. There we're three weeks from selection Sunday,

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: but it doesn't feel like it. And you've been very

25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: eloquent in the past about the changing landscape of college

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: basketball a lot like our buddy Aaron tours nil is

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: you know in the picture? What are your thoughts? Why

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: is it that it seems or it's just my perception

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: that it may be three weeks from selection Sunday, but

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: it doesn't feel like if there's not a hell of

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: a lot of.

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 3: Buzz best cancer that yourself.

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: And you may disagree, that's fine, you may disagree.

34
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean, it does feel like it's three

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: weeks away, but if anything, the season has been like

36
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: far longer than it typically is. You know, when I

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: first started doing this, they couldn't start basketball to a

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: lot of Thanksgiving, and then as big money became more

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: ingrained in this, and that's all it is now. It's

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: just a big business and that's at least not pretending

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: anymore it's about the student athlete. It's just about money,

42
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: and unfortunately they're headed in a direction and this is

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: really not answering your question, because I can't. That's kind

44
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: of like a subjective thing, right that it doesn't feel

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: like it's free week, stated you, but it sort of

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: does to me, so I'm.

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: Probably prased it differently. There's always been an anticipation bracket time,

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: people talk about who might win. It could Yukon repeat,

49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. But it's by my observation, the

50
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: women's game seems to be getting more attention than the

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: men's game at this juncture, primarily due to Caitlin Clark.

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on that?

53
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: It's It's a tricky question for me. I come at

54
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: it from such a different place. I come at it

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: strictly as try to pick the winner. And you know

56
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: what's being talked about and what's buzzing or what's viral

57
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: or any of that stuff. I'm not aware of it.

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: I'm not at all in the loop with it. I

59
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: don't follow the women's game at all. I know Caken

60
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 3: Clock's some big scorer, and that's what I know about her.

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 3: I know absolutely nothing about the women's game As far

62
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 3: as the NCAA think, I think perhaps that the game

63
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 3: has lost its purity. The game has lost its charmed

64
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: The game has lost its integrity in a lot of ways.

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: And I think that maybe that that aura that the

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: game has has permeated, that it's just such a crock,

67
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: you know, it's just about greed, it's just about big business.

68
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: That the tournament is like co hum, like who cares.

69
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: You've completely ruined the game, You've made it, you know,

70
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: just a mad dash for money, and you know, and

71
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: with the government sticking the nooses in and now the

72
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: kids getting paid, it's it's it's not really the game

73
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: that you once knew. And now the big deal is

74
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: an NCAA tournament coming up. The kids are making a

75
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: million dollars each way. So what they've.

76
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: Answered my question in a roundabout way.

77
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: That's probably that's probably what you're feeling is just I guess, well.

78
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: And it's just my personal opinion. But as I observe

79
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: just the general atmosphere around college basketball, it's not as

80
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: romanticized as it once was. The innocence is gone.

81
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: That's that's exactly it. The romanticism is gone. I called

82
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: it purity or charm or like the whole charm of

83
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: the tournament, the whole and they're going to lose this

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: at some point, because so when it told me thirty

85
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: years ago that they're going to try to create like

86
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: three power conferences and break off and you know, basically

87
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: take all the money for themselves and no way, Like

88
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: that's the whole, the whole charm of this tournament. The

89
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: whole what everyone's talked about in these tournaments is Cinderella.

90
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: One goes Iago was Cinderella. They were the story when

91
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: George Mason made the Final four, they were the story

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: when Butler made back to back finals. They were the story.

93
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: The upsets. So what's always talked about. No one cares

94
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: about Duke winning or Kentucky winning. That's what CBS, the

95
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: president of CBS, thanks, but that's not what the fans think.

96
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: The whole.

97
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 3: Bracket is where are the upsets coming from? Florida Atlantic

98
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: making that run last year was the talk of the time.

99
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 3: When the Loyola Chicago made their run, you heard about

100
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: Sister Jean And in fact, there was a study done

101
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: because the head a CBS said we'd rather have Kentucky

102
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 3: than Loyola because the ratings are better, but in fact

103
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: the ratings are not better. They had a study where

104
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 3: they took Loyola's games from that year, the year they

105
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: made the Final four, and compared them. You know, they

106
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: have the four networks, and they took all Loyola's games

107
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 3: on the network at that time and compared the ratings

108
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: too years asked and loyal will crush them all because

109
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: Cinderella is the charm of the tournament, is what drives

110
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: this tournament. And if they eliminate all that by going

111
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: to just you know, one power school after another after another,

112
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna I think I think they're going

113
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: to be surprised. I think the tournament's going to uh lackluster.

114
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 3: So Alan, there was so yeah, that's that's the feeling

115
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: that perhaps you're you're getting is.

116
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: Is it just think? So?

117
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: Who cares?

118
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: So today there was some pretty epic matchups Houston Baylor,

119
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: which ended up going overtime, Alabama, Kentucky, Texas, Kansas didn't right, No, no, yeah,

120
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: if you had if you had Kentucky minus twenty one,

121
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: you were okay.

122
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: That was probably that was my biggest bet today.

123
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: Actually yeah, it was very they were very popular side.

124
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: But but uh, and again, as I've said, you're as

125
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: exquisite handicappers inbody in the country when it comes to

126
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: college basketball. But I wanted that was sort of my preamble.

127
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: See well, the great ones always humble. So the preamble though.

128
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: Where I was going with that is what's the lead story?

129
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: The court storming? It at Wade Forest. Interestingly enough, fifty

130
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: years ago UCLA got their eighty eight game win streak broken.

131
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: It Notre Dame. My good buddy Dave Myers was on

132
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: the floor that day. He had to struggle get off

133
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: the floor because he stormed the court. Then it was romanticized.

134
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: Today the NCAA is greatly concerned to what to do

135
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: about court stormings. What are your thoughts about that incident

136
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: today at Wake Forest.

137
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: I stuff happens. You can't You can't solve all problems

138
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: because of one minor incident. Court storming is part of

139
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: the college game. What are you supposed to do about it?

140
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: It's for the kids. The kids want to storm the court.

141
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: Let them. Someone gets hurt whole home. There's accidents and cars,

142
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: so you just stop driving cars. Too much of the

143
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: ice cream, perhaps, so you stop eating ice cream. Everyone

144
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: overreacts to everything. Nowadays. You're not going to solve all

145
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: problems with human with flawed and stuff happens, and oh

146
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: well it sucks, but you don't stop the game because

147
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: of one incident that happens out of you know how

148
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: many times have courts been stormed? And yeah, it's it's

149
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: probably maybe a better way to handle it, but let

150
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: them do it. Who cares? I mean, BYU games, they

151
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 3: had a kid had a down down with the horn

152
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 3: short shirt when they were playing Texas and they were

153
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 3: asked to take it off because it was insulting. I mean, seriously,

154
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: this is what it's become. Everyone's feelings are hurt over

155
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: over kids making you know, rude statements to players like

156
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: forget about what would happened in the sixties and seventy

157
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: if these people heard what was said during those games.

158
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: But that's part of.

159
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 4: The charter of.

160
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: All right, listen, part of.

161
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: The charm of game. They used to dig up all

162
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: this crap on all these kids and just trust for

163
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 3: with it. But so what you going to what? You're

164
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: going to college? You're going to college. It's it's fun.

165
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: That's part of the fun is needling the other team,

166
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: even if it's a bit mean spirited. So what the

167
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: world's gone haywire with all this you know all all

168
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: everyone is the same and everyone's uh uh uh. You know,

169
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 3: no one's feelings can be hurt. Oh yeah, they can

170
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: be hurt. That's part of being human. If your feelings

171
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: can't be hurt, you really can't feel joy either. It's

172
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: you have to know one to experience the other. So yeah,

173
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 3: let them stor them the court. I don't care. That's

174
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: part of the game as far as I'm concerned. So

175
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 3: I'm from a different world though I'm from a different era.

176
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: So you're gonna get maybe a different answer than what

177
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: you get from some kid.

178
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: This is what we want, this is what people because

179
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 2: they stare them the court.

180
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: Don't let them storm the caruble, don't let them show

181
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: up at the game.

182
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: Then don't challenge. Sit tight, Sit Tight. I want to

183
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: bring you back for another segment. We're gonna dive into

184
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 2: looking ahead, in which teams you feel could emerge and

185
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: win six games in our own march, and you invoke

186
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: the sixties and seventies. There was a celebration today at

187
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: UCLA regarding coach John Wooden and a stamp in his honor,

188
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: and I know you're gonna have a rock solid take

189
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: on that. So Alan Boston. Hang tight, my man, We've

00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 2: Radio coming to live after the Tarik dot Com studios

227
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas, we continue on with our guy,

228
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: Alan Boston, legendary college basketball guru, analyst, handicapper. Allan before

229
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: we get into the meat of the teams that are

230
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: pretenders or contenders for lack of a better phraseology, there

231
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,479
Speaker 2: are only two human beings in the history of basketball

232
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: associated with their own postage stamp. One is James Nate Smith,

233
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: doctor James Nate Smith, and today the second became John Wooden.

234
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: I know you've got opinions on that, and I'm dying

235
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: to hear.

236
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: He was a little before my time, I recall. The

237
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 3: only thing I can come is I call Dick Girardi,

238
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: who was a great writer from the Philly Dallion, who

239
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: is one of the great sports writers Let the Dogout.

240
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 3: He interviewed John Wooden and he was completely blown away

241
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: by the man. I know, you know, he was kind

242
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 3: of a throwback guy and and on the plus side,

243
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 3: aside from obviously being a great coach, I think it

244
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: was an assistant coach that came up with that that

245
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: press that he that was supposedly original but was actually

246
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: used by uh w England.

247
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: Sorry, the pyramid of success, is that what you're referring to?

248
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: No? His his? I don't know if it was a

249
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: one three one or.

250
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 2: Some sort of It was the press defense. I'm sorry.

251
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: Good yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but you know it

252
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 3: was hard to uh it was hard to get scores

253
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: back then, never mind know what other people were doing

254
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: in other parts of the world. But it was used

255
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: in New England by a coach up there. I remember

256
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: reading a book called the History of Basketball. He talked

257
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: about that he was using what wouldn't use before would

258
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: and did it, but I'm not so sure it wouldn't

259
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: note about it, but I know that wouldn't was supposed

260
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: to get the job at Minnesota, that's right, and did

261
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: not get the phone call snow started to UCLA, that's right.

262
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: And and when Minnesota contacted him after, he said, no,

263
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: I've aready committed to Chi and I won't break my word.

264
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: So he was he was that kind of a throwback

265
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: guy who honored you know, we're honored meant everything, and

266
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 3: loyalty meant everything. And uh so you know, props for that,

267
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 3: he deserves a stamp if if if he thinks that's

268
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: what's most relevant in the world. And based on the

269
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: interview that Dick ch already did with him, that's that's

270
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: how he came across as a very uh honorable, forthright

271
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: human as I as the coach was a little before

272
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: my time. So I don't I don't want to say

273
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: that he was the greatest of all time, and I

274
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't say that, but uh, that's that's it. I mean,

275
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: you know, clearly he uh clearly he worked miracles there

276
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: and and and you know, at some point he did

277
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: probably have the best players, So I always uh, I

278
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: don't think that some of the truly best coaches get

279
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: their acclaim because sometimes when you have the most talent,

280
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 3: you just win. You know. I'll uh like Roy w

281
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: or coach k Who. I didn't have a lot of

282
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: respect for either one of those, but you know they

283
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: won a lot of games.

284
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: Fair. So let's fast forward to today, the action on

285
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: the court as we march towards another which should be

286
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: you know, an entertaining tournament once it actually gets started.

287
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know you have started.

288
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it eventually was.

289
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: Earlier and ending later. And I can hardly wait for

290
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 3: the kids who like they opt out of the bowl games. Well,

291
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: you know, I got millions to make in the pros.

292
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: I don't feel like playing the NCAA tournament, but I

293
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 3: doubt that'll happen because they're making so much in college now,

294
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: so I guess that's the good news.

295
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: Well, the storyline for me right now in terms of

296
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: on the floor is it looks to me like Yukon

297
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: can repeat and has a very good chance to repeat.

298
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: But then you saw what happened wins in edtiganst. Creighton,

299
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: and I saw Creighton here get hammered by Las Vegas

300
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: by UNLV in December, a team that won't even make

301
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: the tournament. So I don't know who I could put

302
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: my finger on that could win.

303
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: I would say you cons a favorite. I actually think

304
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: you KNT slightly better than last year. They have more shooters. Yeah,

305
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: I agree, their offense, their offense flows better and they

306
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: still defend like crazy. Uh. This team seems to have

307
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: I don't know the the it's factor. You know, they

308
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: got five shooters on the floor, which they didn't have

309
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 3: last year, and they still defend extremely well. They the

310
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: younger players have gotten better. When I watched them play Marquette,

311
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: they were absolutely immense. And as far as losing a Creighton,

312
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: that's gone on a lot this year. Some of these

313
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: home games where the team, you know, it's like their

314
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: whole season, they just win. It's a very uh, it's

315
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: very fifty years ago when when home dogs ruled, when

316
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: home courts could be worth six or seven points. That's

317
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: gone on this year. These these home courts in these

318
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: big games have been absolute cold. Well go wait, Force

319
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: say they closed the three point favorite over Duke like

320
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: the dope Dance. There's no way that wake ors could

321
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: be three over Duke on the square, but in this

322
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 3: particular game where they're playing for their NCAA tournament, they

323
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: could be three and in fact they were uncovered. Uh yep,

324
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 3: that's what Dave Houston's winning Baylor so impressive today. That

325
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: was kind of like the U and they and they

326
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 3: dominated the game. They were way way ahead and meanwhile

327
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 3: bayle and missed the foul shot to win the game.

328
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 3: You know that when you saw that your vinament are

329
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: playing for the you know, the biggest game of the year.

330
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 3: These these kids have been. It's it's been absolute rock

331
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: solid this year. Uh So, you know, one one game

332
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 3: does not a season make I. I I when I

333
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 3: talked about, like when I talked about how the how

334
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 3: the game plays out being important. Last time I was

335
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 3: on in my handicapping, I I really should say the

336
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 3: fundamental thing of handicapping And if anyone golfs, this is

337
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: how I like to explain it. If you're a scratch golfer,

338
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 3: you've been golfing for you know, four years, you're a

339
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: scratch golfer. You go out and shoot eighty. The next

340
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 3: time you play golf, you're still a scratch golfer. You

341
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: could shoot eighty again and you're still a scratch golfer. Similarly,

342
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 3: when a team goes out and murders Marquette, it doesn't

343
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: mean that the greatest team in the world. Because they

344
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: can go on the road and get murdered by Creighton.

345
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: It doesn't make Creighton the greatest team in the world.

346
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 3: It's just one game where they happen to do that.

347
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 3: Like a scratch golfer, shooting eighty does not mean he's

348
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: an eight handicap. It means he just had a bad round.

349
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: So when you know the team typically plays to the

350
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: level plus or minus, you know x, and once you

351
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: figure out what that level is, that's that's what they're

352
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: rating is and or their golf handicap. So it takes

353
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 3: a little bit to arrive at a golf handicap. It

354
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: takes a little bit to arrive at a power rating

355
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 3: of a basketball team. And then you cannot be influenced

356
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: by a single result. So the same team that destroyed

357
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 3: Marquette went on the road and got murdered by cret

358
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 3: So it's it's yeah, you should never be swayed by

359
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: a result or two results, or three results. That true

360
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: essence of handicapping. Actually right, trans I thought I drove

361
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: that out there.

362
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: I agree.

363
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: I do think you CON's a favorite, So let's take

364
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 3: a look at you. I think they're the favorite. They're

365
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 3: the visual. Visually, I don't watch a lot of games,

366
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: but the eye test, they they've been very, very impressive.

367
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: Houston has been too, but they've looked impressive in years

368
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 3: past and have gotten to the tournament and just kind of,

369
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, just hasn't well.

370
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: They get there there they are a bridesmaid. They're always

371
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: a bridesmaid, never a bride, even going back to five

372
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: Slam a jama but the way this team plays defense.

373
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 3: Boy.

374
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: But the other team I want to talk about is

375
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 2: Purdue or twenty three and three. You know, Gene Katie

376
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 2: has a court named after him. Purdue never made a

377
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: Final four. Could this finally be the year Zach Edy

378
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: and Purdue breakthrough? Because I have no confidence they will.

379
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: No, I don't either. I think I think they've had

380
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 3: this pattern for years and years and years. This is

381
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 3: the highest rated team they've had. Like, this team has

382
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: been immense at times. But again I think Saint Peter's

383
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: uh and and and and I mean fu and uh

384
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: and who knocked him out the year before, it's it's

385
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: losing me. They kind of give the blueprint for how

386
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: to handle this team. This team's a little better, they're

387
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: outside shootings better. That's kind of been a hole in

388
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 3: the game. Uh. Their guards have improved and and they

389
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 3: defend a little bit better than they used to, and

390
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 3: that that was also a hole in the game. But

391
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 3: teams in the past and a tournament have figured out

392
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 3: how to take Edie out of the game and make

393
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 3: his life miserable. And you know, it's almost like cutting

394
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 3: the head off the snake. Uh does have other weapons

395
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 3: this year, a little better surrounding cast. So yes, this

396
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 3: could be the team that makes the run. But I

397
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 3: don't know. It just seems like, UH, Painters teams played

398
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: at such a high level so quickly every year right

399
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: out of the gate, that they have no where to

400
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: go but down and uh where other teams kind of

401
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: get better and better and better as the year goes on.

402
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not knocking Painter. I think he's a

403
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: terrific approach, absolutely fantastic. Seems like he gets his team

404
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 3: to such a high level so quickly and then they

405
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: kind of keeter out.

406
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: So how about Arizona. Allen, Now, Arizona is fourth, but

407
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: is that justifiable given the fact that PAC twelve is

408
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: way down.

409
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: I watched Arizona to play. I wasn't impressed. I think

410
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 3: they'll go out early. Actually they've had some they've had

411
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 3: some home run results, but you know, you get them,

412
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: and if you can get them in kind of a

413
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 3: half court game, I think they'll uh, I think they'll

414
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: get knocked out. And typically the tournament is is a

415
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: half court affair, it does, you know. And I don't

416
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: like the way they defended. They were prone to taking

417
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: bad shots occasionally, and that's not going to do it

418
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: when they when they play a team that has talent. Definitely.

419
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: I mean I have n't rated I haven't rated very

420
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: very highly. Arizona in factually grated, you know, as good

421
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: as anybody half a point maybe less than Connecticut, Houston

422
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: and Purdue, who I have tied for the best.

423
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: So so, Tennessee to me looks like if they bring their.

424
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: A game did not impress me today fair enough.

425
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee looks to me like, if they bring the A game,

426
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 2: they could beat anybody. But I've got this unfortunate, uh

427
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 2: blind spot about Rick Barnes in big games.

428
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Yeah, I agree, I don't. I don't think

429
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: he's I don't think he's great. And and and again, uh,

430
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 3: they they lack of outside shooting will probably get him

431
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 3: in the game. They just don't. They just don't. They

432
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: don't score enough.

433
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: Allen, we just got about a minute. But I want

434
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: to get your take. Could there be last year we

435
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: saw Really that's a pretty.

436
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 3: Simplistic answer, by the way, but that's that's what I

437
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 3: could do.

438
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 2: It's fine. Uh've got just about a minute, but I

439
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: want to get your take.

440
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: They don't run great offense Tennessee, right, and when the

441
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 3: defense doesn't create offense, they they're inuble. And again when

442
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 3: they play a team that that kind of like is

443
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 3: can handle handle all their pressure, then they're going down fair.

444
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 2: Yes, they're an outlier like a San Diego State was

445
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: last year. Could have been in Alabama, could have been

446
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 2: in Illinois, could have been in North Carolina, Kansas. Who's

447
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 2: out there that we haven't talked about that we find

448
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 2: in the finals?

449
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: Uh, Florida Atlantic.

450
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: Well, they did it last year almost almost.

451
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's not really how about Saint Mary's, But

452
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 3: they just lost Jefferson for the year, so that yeah, St. Mary's.

453
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 3: I'll say this, Let's go with Saint Mary's because even

454
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 3: though they're going to get screwed screwed by the Committee

455
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: of the draw like they do every year, but last

456
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 3: year they were the only team that hung with Connecticut.

457
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 3: They were right there with con and their best player

458
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: got hurt and they kind of collapsed down the stretch,

459
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 3: but they were right there, you know, mid second half,

460
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 3: and and I think Ducas got hurt, someone got hurt

461
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 3: for them, and and they just completely imploted. But yeah,

462
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: they were the one team that Connecticut didn't run out

463
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: of the gym last year.

464
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 2: So let's sneak one more in here. Calipari and Kentucky.

465
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 2: What do you expect out of them?

466
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 3: And you know, I think they'll go down very quickly.

467
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I think he's completely I don't you know,

468
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 3: I I he's he's a really supposedly he's a really

469
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 3: class ACKed. He does a lot for charity, and but

470
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 3: he's not a coach. He's a used car salesman. They

471
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 3: better offense, they did run better off and usually run,

472
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 3: but they were playing Alabama, who doesn't really defend that well.

473
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: So they put on and seventeen lackluster.

474
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 3: Kentucky's defense was lackluster today, and they do too many

475
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 3: dumb things to win a tournament, so they're not winning it.

476
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: Alan, great stuff is always is when the tournament gets

477
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: going to definitely want to get you back on and

478
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 2: get your thoughts as we start to.

479
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe more the time we could go preview it.

480
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: We you know we can do that, Alan, We're gonna

481
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: do that in a couple of weeks here. Uh, maybe

482
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 2: we can do it to night before you know what.

483
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: We got to do this to night before selection Sunday,

484
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: because let's get your thoughts because one of the one

485
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: of the things you're the best at is who's getting

486
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 2: in versus who should be in. You've always had really

487
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 2: strong opinions about that.

488
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: Well, I do rate, so I actually know who the

489
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 3: best names are.

490
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: Let's tease that. March seventeenth, Sunday, March seventeenth, the selection Sunday.

491
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: Let's get you back on three weeks from tonight in

492
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 2: March sixteenth, Saturday night heading.

493
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 3: I'll do it if you want, Alan, you.

494
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: The man you take care of. But a good call

495
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: on Kentucky today. You take care that is Alan Boston

496
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: following him on Twitter at Boston eighty eight. As you

497
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 2: can see, if we could just get him to get

498
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: over the shine, its would be just fine. It's an

499
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: extremely bright guy, very interesting guy, and doesn't pull punches.

500
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: Coming up, there is one aspect of today that I

501
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: would like to piggyback on what Alan talked about. There's

502
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: the world that is in the world that ought to be.

503
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: And when Kyle Philipowski and Caitlin Clark collide with fans,

504
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: conferences are now buzz at a buzz as to what

505
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: they can do more to deter court storming. It's just

506
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: the new reality we are in. It's not something that

507
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: is welcome anymore. Irrespective of Allan's comment, which I respect,

508
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: But first let's go to a guy, Kevin Ware at

509
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: the chef.

510
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, the big story tonight in at college hoops Duke

511
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 8: star Kyle Philipowski suffering a knee injury because he got

512
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 8: in a collision with one of the fans who rushed

513
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 8: the court after wake Forest beat number eight Duke by

514
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 8: a final score of eighty three seventy nine. And this

515
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 8: is what Philipowski had to say after the incident.

516
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 9: You know, I felt a bunch of hits on my body.

517
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 9: This one was the worst of them. Like I said,

518
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 9: it's just really ridiculous of how that situation is handled.

519
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 9: I've already heard that there's some videos of getting punched

520
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 9: in the back, and so I absolutely feel like it

521
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 9: was personal, you know, intentional for sure.

522
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 8: With this being the second such incident if you count

523
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 8: the one with Clayton Caitlyn Clark, this is the second

524
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 8: such incident in under a month. So you've got to

525
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 8: imagine the NCAA and the College Conference is going to

526
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 8: take a look at the court storming police that they

527
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 8: have in a place. As for other action in at

528
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 8: college basketball, number two ranked Houston beats Baylor in overtime

529
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 8: eighty two seventy six, as the eleventh ranked Bears missing

530
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 8: a free throw late in regulation and that was allowed

531
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 8: the Cougars to force overtime. Number four Arizona they're tops

532
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 8: in the Pac twelve now after they beat Washington ninety

533
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 8: one seventy five. As for Washington's rival, number twenty one

534
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 8: Washington State, they fell to Arizona State seventy three sixty one.

535
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 8: Number ten North Carolina wins at Virginia fifty four to

536
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 8: forty four as the Cavaliers scored just six points in

537
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 8: the first fourteen minutes of that game. Number seventeen Kentucky

538
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 8: routing Number thirteen Alabama one seventeen ninety five eighteenth ranked

539
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 8: Saint Mary's. They're fourteen to zero in the West Coast

540
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 8: Conference as they beat the San Diego Torrero's eighty eight

541
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 8: sixty two Georgetown they made two late free throws. They're

542
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 8: able to beat the Paul seventy seven seventy six as

543
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 8: Georgetown they were one in fourteen. They win the Battle

544
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 8: of bottom Theaters is to Paul now oh and sixteen

545
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 8: in the Big East. In the NBA, the Boston Celtics

Speaker 8: make it eight wins in a row. They beat the

547

556
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 8: head coach DeShawn Foster.

557
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 7: Back to you, all.

558
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: Right, thanks Kevin. Yet, Karl Philipowski's injury got attention earlier

559
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: this evening after he injured his knee. Wake Forest fans

560
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: rushed the court at the center of the floor as

561
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: they beat Duke eighty three seventy nine in Winston, Sate.

562
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: This is on the heels of a of an incident

563
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: when Memphis played Tulane a few weeks back last month.

564
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: There's been an investigation that's been opened. Someone was seen

565
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: a fan was seen actually pushing a Memphis player, their

566
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: star player, David Jones during when the court was stormed

567
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: by Tulanees fans after they beat Memphis eighty one seventy

568
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: nine back on January twenty first. And now you're getting

569
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: major coaches speaking out. And this is on the also

570
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 2: the heels of the Caitlin Clark incident three or four

571
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: weeks ago to Ohio State when she was knocked to

572
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: the floor. So we've talked about this in earlier shows

573
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: on my show. In terms of what the SEC has

574
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: done in football and the fines involved, and they're progressive

575
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: and they sound significant, but they don't sound like much

576
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: of a deterrented. And now what we have is a

577
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: pretty good day at college basketball today. A lot of

578
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: hoghly contested games. But the issue of court storming is

579
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: the headline. It's got the prominent headline in college basketball's

580
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: discourse today. And what you are finding now is conferences,

581
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: the Big East, the Big Twelve, the SEC. Yes, they're

582
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: assessing fines to schools following these instances, but the finance

583
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: in the Big East are just five grand. What the

584
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: hell is a pocket change? By the way, the SEC,

585
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: they find their offenders one hundred thousand the first time,

586
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: second offenses cost two to fifty, and third defenses will

587
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: require five hundred. But even with those hefty fines and

588
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: they continue to escalate, how is it? How are you

589
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: telling me that's a deterrent LSU was fined one hundred

590
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: thousand earlier this week after fans rush the floor when

591
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: they beat Kentucky. South Carolina and Arkansas have also been

592
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 2: assessed one hundred thousand dollars fines this season. So is

593
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: there a solution? No, are they talking about a solution. Yes,

594
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: this will be interesting to see where this goes again.

595
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: You're just hearing about this more and more now, But

596
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: it's not that it hasn't been happening. Iowa State fans

597
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: flooded the floor on twenties on January twenty seventh after

598
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: they knocked off Kansas seventy nine to seventy five. Kansas

599
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: was ranked seventh. It was a chaotic scene, but it

600
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: was controlled because they had a protocol. What they had

601
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: were a group of security personnel, bright orange jackets. They

602
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: formed a human wall. What that did was separate the

603
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: postgame handshake from any mayhem on the floor. And now

604
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: they've installed gates in front of the Iowa State student section,

605
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. Kyle Philipowski, I don't know the

606
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: extent of his knee injury. I don't, but can you

607
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: imagine it's just it's a matter of time before something

608
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 2: more serious happens. And you know, Alan Boston brought up

609
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: some good points, but we're in a different normal right now,

610
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: and I'll be curious to see where they land on

611
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: this because right now it's taking on a life of

612
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: its own. What used to be sort of this glorious

613
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 2: majestic celebration, spontaneous combustion is no more planned, and there

614
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 2: were there there's some articles now that have been reported

615
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: that they thought this was pre planned by Wake Forest fans.

616
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: I'm not casting its versions. You can look these articles

617
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: up yourself. And perhaps certain players were targeted. Do I

618
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: know that. I don't know. It's all alleged, but I

619
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: do know this. This is becoming more and more prevalent,

620
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: and you cannot normalize this behavior if players are gonna

621
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: get hurt, which Caitlin Clark could have been. And we're

622
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: being told, Kyle Philipowski is we don't know to what extent.

623
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: Coming up, we quickly, just ever so quickly revisit the NFL,

624
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: because if you think the season's over, it's not. There

625
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: are a bunch of key dates here in the next

626
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: six weeks, and you're gonna say to yourself, yep, in

627
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 2: case you didn't notice, well, the NFL, they've built a

628
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: machine that can only move forward. We'll talk about it

629
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: coming up. I'm Bernie fraddlework comingyr Life from Las Vegas,

649
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: at the top of the hour for a little Badina magic.

650
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: Plenty of stuff in the NBA, you know, right after

651
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl every year, there's a palpable sense of

652
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: despair among sports fans because they've got that six month

653
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: wait until the next NFL season. But nobody stays the

654
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 2: news better than the NFL. There used to be a

655
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: baseball hot stove. Forget about it. The NFL has passed

656
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: that up like it was going backwards. If you haven't noticed,

657
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: the NFL has built a machine that can only move forward.

658
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 2: So you're not going to just be talking about the

659
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: Chiefs and whether or not they'll three Pete and will

660
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams be drafted number one and all that stuff.

661
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 2: It's already started, already started. Last Tuesday, February twentieth, was

662
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 2: the first day to designate franchise and transition tags, and

663
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: it's already started to happen. Te Higgins, you know you

664
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 2: follow your favorite team. Here we go starting this Tuesday.

665
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 2: We affectionately called them the underwear Olympics. But of course

666
00:34:55,360 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: we're talking about the scouting combine in Indianapolis. Seven days

667
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 2: days of bliss February twenty Check that, five days, six

668
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: days of watching guys jump, run, lift, weights, give interviews,

669
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 2: and you will watch. That's why they televise it. Then

670
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: the following day, March fifth, beginning at four o'clock Eastern time,

671
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: Well that brings to the end. It's a deadline of

672
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: the franchise transition tag, so you'll find out where some

673
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: of your players, what will happen at least to some

674
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 2: degree with respect to whether or not they've been franchised

675
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 2: or transitioned. You get a week off and then it

676
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 2: picks up again March eleventh, for three days, the negotiating

677
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: period for unrestricted free agents pending unrestricted free agents begins,

678
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: and you know there'll be plenty of big names there.

679
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: March thirteenth, four o'clock Eastern time, free agent deals can

680
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 2: be signed, trades can be officially consummated. June first, cuts

681
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: can be designated, and the deadline for qualifying offers to

682
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: restrict it free agents will culminate. Again. Plenty of big

683
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: names as to what's gonna happen there, like, for instance,

684
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. But the later shows we'll get more granular

685
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: on that. But what you're going to see is just

686
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: about every day and your favorite sports highlight shows. These

687
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: NFL headlines become the top story of the day. Then

688
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: you get about ten days off. But fast forward to

689
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: March twenty fourth for the annual three day Annual League

690
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: Meeting in Orlando, Florida. And guess what April first, and

691
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 2: this is not in April, fools, Teams with new head

692
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: coaches can begin their off season conditioning training programs. That's

693
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 2: April first, today, Well today, what we're at February twenty fifth,

694
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: I believe that's where we're at, something along those lines.

695
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: So that's four thirty five thirty six days. NFL teams

696
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 2: with new head coaches can begin off season conditioning programs

697
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 2: like Jim Harbaugh of your Los Angeles Chargers, or I

698
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: believe there were new eight hate new hires this year.

699
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 2: But two weeks later, all the rest of the remaining teams.

700
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 2: April fifteenth coincides with tax Day. Remaining teams, all remaining

701
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: teams can begin their off season conditioning programs. Jumped to

702
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: April nineteenth. That's the deadline for restricted free agents to

703
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: sign their offer jeets. And then it gets real fun.

704
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: April twenty fifth through twenty seventh, the glorious three days Thursday,

705
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: Friday Saturday, the NFL Draft is in. Yes, Detroit, Michigan,

706
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 2: the motor City. And you know they'll do a great job.

707
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: A no party like a Detroit party. Every city where

708
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 2: it's been in Nashville really kind of set the tone.

709
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 2: Vegas killed it. Every city it's been in, it's just

710
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: a spectacle beyond belief. You got people on the streets.

711
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: Do I say it's like woodstock or can we come

712
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 2: up with better analogy? All all I can say is

713
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 2: it's wall to wall people, and it's an event that

714
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: is anticipated, talked about, publicized, covered end to end, and

715
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: wagered on quite a bit. Who will be the number

716
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 2: one draft et cetera, et cetera. How many quarterbacks in

717
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: the first round? Who will be mister irrelevant? You know,

718
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 2: people will pay more attention to that now. And of

719
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: course by conference, how many you know players, as Jim

720
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 2: Harbaugh said he believed he'd have twenty players drafted from Michigan, Well,

721
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 2: Michigan's got more players in the combine coming up next

722
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 2: week than any other school by a mile. Finally, May second,

723
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: that'll be the deadline for teams to pick up the

724
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 2: fifty year option for the twenty twenty one draft class.

725
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: And again you know where we're going with that. That's

726
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 2: something big to watch. Then teams have their choice. It

727
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 2: can be a three day period May third through the sixth,

728
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: or May ten through the thirteenth, teams can start to

729
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: stay there rookie many camps, so again it doesn't feel

730
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 2: that far away. And you know, the future always has

731
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 2: a way of arriving ahead of schedule. My goodness, March

732
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 2: first is this Friday. Then you head to May and

733
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: June teams can start to stage their OTAs official team

734
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: activities and their mandatory mini camps, and before you know it,

735
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 2: it'll be July. The sun will be shining, and training

736
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: camps will be opening, and the Chiefs will no longer

737
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: be celebrating their Super Bowl championship. They'd be looking to

738
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: three peat the Chicago Bears, who will have had their

739
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: number one overall draft pick, and we will see what

740
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: they will do with that and how that team fares

741
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 2: as they head into what will look like, you know,

742
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: hopeful season for the twenty twenty four Bears, based on

743
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 2: the draft capital they have. And let's not forget Aaron Rodgers.

744
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 2: Hopefully he's back healthy. We were denied that story last

745
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: year after three plays. July, it'll all start up again

746
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: when teams are in KI and you know, by then

747
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 2: we'll know Kirk Cousins heals the keys to a domino

748
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: effect of all quarterback decisions, and we'll look at what

749
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: the league's competition committee has worked at for solutions that

750
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 2: you know, like the hip drop tackle at Centa, et cetera.

751
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 2: And yeah, you'll be on your way to another NFL season,

752
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: bit by bit. The NFL will stay in the news

753
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: every week between now and July, just because they've built

754
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 2: a machine that can only go forward. Coming up, Mark Mendina,

00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 2: every Saturday at midnight on the Bernie Frattle Show. Mark,

770
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 2: just like every other week, the anticipation as to what

771
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 2: the new cycle will bring never seems to disappoint. But Mark,

772
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: I really want to start with the Golden State Warriors

773
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 2: because they announced the lineup change a few days ago,

774
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 2: and now I believe they're five and on their last five,

775
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: ten and two in their last twelve. Have they figured

776
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: it out? Is this team going to be formidable or

777
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 2: is it a wait and see?

778
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 4: That could certainly be formidable because they have Steph Curry

779
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 4: on the tame and there's been a pathway. I have

780
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 4: a good development. Raymont Green's back, he's playing defense at

781
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 4: a high level, he's avoiding suspensions. Klay Thompson's accepting his

782
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 4: new role, and they expect Chris Paul to be back.

783
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 4: But they aren't in tenth place, and it is a

784
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 4: loaded Western Conference, so everything has to hit right. But

785
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 4: I just recall a conversation I had earlier in the

786
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 4: week with a former Hall of Famer and Rick Barry,

787
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 4: and he was saying that if I'm a top team

788
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 4: in the West, I don't want to face the Warriors

789
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 4: in the first round. So while they do have a

790
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 4: heavy haule, there is a pathway for them to make

791
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 4: a pretty significant ground, not only you know, the second

792
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 4: half of the season, but you know once the playoffs start.

793
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I know, Lebron's probably happy that whoever

794
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: created the playing tournament was in fact or check that yeah,

795
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 2: not fired, but voaded. Yeah, well said Mark. But as

796
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: I look at the Lakers and Warriors, who both seem

797
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 2: to have solidified their positions in the play in round,

798
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 2: and I don't know that they're going to find their

799
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 2: way out of the playing round. But he's only you know,

800
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: one of those two teams would emerge into the actual playoffs.

801
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 2: Who would you give the edge to if you had

802
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:06,479
Speaker 2: a gun to your head?

803
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 4: Well, I hope I don't have a gun to my head.

804
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 4: That would be a bad experience. Yes, yes, of course,

805
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 4: figuratively speaking, assuming there's no major health issues for from

806
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 4: either side, I would pick the Lakers because when you

807
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 4: look at Lebron, James and Anthony Davis, their consistent dominance

808
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 4: is the same of two is better than one. With

809
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 4: Steph Curry and his consistent dominance on paper, I would

810
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 4: say the Warriors because you also add in the fact

811
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 4: that you have Klay Thompson, Raymond Green, Chris Paul. They

812
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 4: have a lot of good young players with Jonathan Kaminga

813
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 4: and Brandon Panzinski growing a lot. But I've seen more

814
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 4: consistency with the Lakers with their two stars as well

815
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 4: as their supporting. Their supporting has to be clear, has

816
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 4: been inconsistent. But even with through the injuries and at

817
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 4: inconsistent play, they've been able to patch work enough to

818
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 4: still make up ground. But it's all relative. They're almost

819
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 4: in the same boat here where there are two teams

820
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 4: that I think top contending teams won at want to

821
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 4: face the first round, but they have a lot of

822
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 4: question marks as far as their health, just their ability

823
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 4: to have to play at such a high level to

824
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 4: try to make up ground here. But you know, I

825
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 4: guess it is the old adage that, as we've seen

826
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 4: this past decade, if you're a team that has Steph

827
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 4: Currier Lebron James on your team, you still like your

828
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 4: chances absolutely.

829
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 2: Speaking of well, you mentioned Steph Curry, I was going

830
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 2: to mention Steve Kerr. So after months of talks, he

831
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 2: gets himself a nice to year extension, which to me,

832
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 2: Mark my interpretation was that this is almost a tacent

833
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 2: expectation that the war are going to do some damage

834
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 2: in the playoffs this year, that we're going to run

835
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 2: this back, We're gonna milk it for all we can.

836
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 2: This is a team that could actually win a couple

837
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 2: of playoff rounds.

838
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, Yeah, I think it's also a clear signal

839
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 4: that you know, he's going to be Steph Curry's coach.

840
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 4: You know, any idea that his job security was on

841
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 4: the line is foolish. That was never the thing. But

842
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 4: you know, they don't want him to become a lame

843
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 4: duck hanging into the off season as far as a

844
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 4: free agent, uh not under contract. And then the second

845
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 4: thing is, even though they didn't agree to an extension

846
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 4: earlier this season, I think I had more to do

847
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 4: with the order of things that they want to get

848
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 4: through the season, figure out trade deadline stuff, priorities. And

849
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 4: when you look at the calendar here, it's not a

850
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 4: coincidence that you know, shortly after the trade deadline Steve

851
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 4: Kirk got an extension. When you're looking at the number,

852
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 4: it doesn't just reflect you know, the obvious success that

853
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 4: he's had with with the Warriors, with you know the

854
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 4: word championships, but it's also part of the marketswe You

855
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 4: may recall Monty Williams got a huge deal last summer

856
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 4: with the Detroit Pistons, right, Popovic got a huge extension.

857
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 4: So it's also a little bit of a course direction here.

858
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 2: Good point. I'm really curious to see what the Lakers

859
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 2: look like in the next seventy two hours they visit Phoenix,

860
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 2: and then, of course I say it's in air quotes,

861
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 2: they visit the Clippers, and the Clippers have I'm starting

862
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 2: to actually take them serious. I know that that's heresy

863
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 2: because they have a way of letting you down, but

864
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 2: on paper, mark, this team actually looks really good.

865
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, Yeah, I mean, if the things fall apart,

866
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 4: this would be the ultimate tea is right of the

867
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 4: Clippers finally making believers out of skeptics like ourselves. But

868
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 4: while we certainly shouldn't ever roll out possibility of injury

869
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 4: because of their history and the players that are on

870
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 4: that team, from a chemistry standpoint, they've been great. You know,

871
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 4: this whole idea that I had some concerns when James

872
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 4: Harden arrived with how they can share a basketball for players.

873
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 4: I also had concerns about, you know, a little bit

874
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 4: of their diminished depth to get James Harden. But I

875
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 4: think what they've shown is that through some of the

876
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 4: initial growing pains, every player's embracing their role. A less

877
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 4: is more approach is key. They're taking the best version

878
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 4: of every single player. When you're looking at Kawhi and

879
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 4: Paul George their efficiency, James Harden's ability to create for

880
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,919
Speaker 4: himself but also pass and Russell Westbrook's ability to move

881
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 4: at a faster pace, and they've been able to safeguard

882
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 4: against the negatives, most notably with Russell being turnover prone

883
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 4: and bad shot selection and James Harden not always playing

884
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 4: a look at defense and being a little bit of

885
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 4: a plotter when it comes to offensive sets. They've gotten

886
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,479
Speaker 4: rid of all those things, and I think the surprise part,

887
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 4: he's not an elite defensive player bydy means, but the

888
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 4: Clippers to a man praised James Harden's approached the defense

889
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 4: that you know, he's been a good team defender. He's

890
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 4: had to buy in, and I think it's a testament

891
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 4: to all those four players for sacrifice as well as

892
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 4: Tylu for managing that group so well.

893
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 2: So there was a little free for all between the

894
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: Heat and Pelicans the other night. Is that a tempest

895
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 2: in a tea pot or there's some genuine bad blood there.

896
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 4: Well, I feel like it has to do with the

897
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 4: fact that Jimmy Butler is a competitor, and you know

898
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 4: this isn't his first go round, so I would expect

899
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 4: nothing more than that. You're looking at two teams. The

900
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 4: Heat culture they're always playing the ship on their shoulder.

901
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 4: The Timberwolves is our young team that feel that they're

902
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 4: finally a team that can be a serious contender. And

903
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 4: they've had a lot of quality wins this season. You know,

904
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 4: they've played and being again the likes of the Denver

905
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 4: and Boss, and they beat the Clippers and the Thunder twice.

906
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 4: And so I think it just came to blows that way.

907
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't analyze anything beyond that.

908
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 2: Excuse me, bless you. I'm actually battling pneumonia here. But

909
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 2: we're going to power through this. I made it through

910
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 2: last night. So I want to talk about the Boston Celtics. Obviously,

911
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 2: the regular season will be mood if they don't get

912
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 2: to the Finals. But this is a team that looks

913
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 2: like they're the best version of theirself. They win eight

914
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 2: in a row Saturday night, beating the Knicks pretty convincingly.

915
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 2: Would they be your favorite to close the whole deal

916
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 2: this year if you had.

917
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 4: To pick one, Yeah, the Celtics are definitely my favorite.

918
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 4: You know, they have the best starting lineup, I think

919
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown, they continue to you know, of

920
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 4: all this players as far as their chemistry, they are

921
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 4: right so heavy, but it's not as bad as before.

922
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 4: And I think even prior to this season, they've shown

923
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 4: a lot of growth.

924
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 3: But I think the other.

925
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 4: Thing is excusing. Christophs Erzingis and Drew Holliday have been complete,

926
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 4: completely seamless fits here and so when you're looking at

927
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 4: the depth there, it's just very hard to imagine another

928
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 4: team being them, assuming there's no major injuries.

929
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 2: It just seems like there's such a big gap between

930
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 2: them when you consider that Minnesota's living in the West.

931
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: Minnesota had their come up and see the other night

932
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 2: a bit against Milwaukee. And while we're at it, the

933
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 2: latest on Doc Rivers, where does that head this year?

934
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 2: In your thoughts?

935
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 4: Well, he deserves you know, praise or screwtiny depending on

936
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 4: how this season plays out. And so it's not a

937
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 4: matter of giving them a mull again if things don't

938
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 4: work out because he didn't have a good training camp,

939
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 4: like he inherited a team that was expected to contend

940
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 4: for a title. But in fairness to all this, during

941
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 4: Adrian Griffin's time, during Doc rivers time, it's been a

942
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 4: personnel issue where you know they're not they're not a

943
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 4: lottery team talent, but they've really been missing Drew Holliday's

944
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 4: defensive presidence in a while. I think that they should

945
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 4: be able to overcome that with some of the other

946
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 4: defenders that they have, not you know, on the perimeter,

947
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 4: but with Brook Lopez Andianis on the front court and

948
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 4: the offensive firepower that they have with Damon Loward and

949
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 4: Yanni Tokumpo. No matter whatever coaching strengths or flaws Adrian

950
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 4: Griffin and Doc Rivers have had, it comes down to

951
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 4: Drew Hollidays a really good defender, and you know, they

952
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 4: didn't I don't want to say they didn't anticipate, but

953
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 4: it's been more challenging than they had hoped it would be.

954
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 4: In mitigating his absence.

955
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: Finally, Mark, I'd be remiss if I didn't give Wenby

956
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 2: his flowers of these five by five performances, which I'm

957
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 2: sure you saw the other night, but I have to

958
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 2: temper it with he's the most transcendent player that he

959
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 2: is contributing to an eleven and forty sixteen. This book's

960
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 2: missing a chapter somewhere. Tell me what I'm missing, because

961
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 2: when you have these transcendent performances, why does it not

962
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: translate to wins?

963
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 4: Well, it's kind of simple. The team is terrible, you know,

964
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 4: a lot of it is, you know, personnel driven, and

965
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 4: even though Victor Webgama is a really special player, even

966
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 4: you know, even when you have a player in his prime,

967
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 4: if you're playing, you know, with other players that aren't

968
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 4: good and don't no disrespect, but I'll just call a

969
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 4: spade of spade, it's hard to have success. So I

970
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 4: think the ultimate litmus test is what his next season

971
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 4: look like as far as what the Spurs do with

972
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 4: their roster. And I think, you know, there are certainly

973
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 4: questions about Wemby. I don't mean like skepticism, but you know,

974
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 4: just how does he build off of it? I mean,

975
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 4: even Lebron James after the game on Friday. You know,

976
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 4: he was talking about high impact rookies over the years,

977
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 4: Zion Williamson, Griffin and Kyrie Irving, Tyreek Evans come to mind.

978
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 4: They're all great players, but he was saying, you know,

979
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 4: how do you sustain it? The comforting thing is Victor

980
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 4: has the skill set, he has the work ethic. You know,

981
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 4: Greg Popovich has been raving about just how coachable he is.

982
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 4: You know, he was talking about, you know, when I

983
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 4: asked him how he's handled the ups and downs of

984
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 4: team losses and individual setbacks. He was laying, you know,

985
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 4: during the morning shoot around before the Lakers game, how

986
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 4: he was showing him film and breaking things down. And

987
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 4: when the session ended, you know, Victor seemed to be

988
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 4: wanting more, uh, you know, film discussion. So that those

989
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 4: are all encouraging sides that he's only going to get better.

990
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, the question you have, why isn't it leading

991
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 4: the wins? It's a fair one, but I put largely

992
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 4: the onus on the Spurs roster because it's frankly not

993
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 4: good outside of Victor wa Medema.

994
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 2: What troubles me, Mark is this is a franchise won

995
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 2: thirty four games, two years ago. The last year. They're

996
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 2: on a pace to one about fourteen or fifteen this

997
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 2: year with wimb and Yama. I don't want to split hairs,

998
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 2: you know, I don't want to cast this versions, but

999
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 2: it's a question, and I think you nailed it. Mark.

1000
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 2: This is a teaser for next year. This is sort

1001
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 2: of a dress rehearsal for next year, and we'll see

1002
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 2: what it brings us. Mark always looked forward to having you.

1003
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 2: You never know what the new cycle brings us in

1004
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 2: the next week. And of course the Lakers have a

1005
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 2: couple of key matchups, so we'll look forward to getting

1006
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 2: you back on midnight next Saturday night.

1007
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 3: All right, looking forward to it.

1008
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: Well, thanks, Buddy, appreciates Mark Medina Medina magic. And of

1009
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 2: course it never seems to fail that there are always

1010
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 2: storylines coming up, uh with within the NBA. Of course

1011
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 2: that Mark has his finger on the pulso and so

1012
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 2: there you have it coming up. Eric Bienemy heading back west.

1013
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 2: Remember he grew up in southern California. Eric Bamy played

1014
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 2: his college football all in southern California, and now he's

1015
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 2: said to be an offensive coordinator over school who aroundically

1016
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:10,760
Speaker 2: just had an offensive mind leave. Can't make this stuff up, folks.

1017
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddle Were Comedy Live from Las Vegas, Fox

1018
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Tireck dot Com Studios. Keep it locked. He

1019
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 2: listened to Bernie Fraddleshow, Fox Sports Radio. All right back

1020
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy Live

1021
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 2: at the Tarreck dot Com studios here in Las Vegas.

1022
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 2: Take up to three am Pacific, six am Eastern. Just

1023
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:33,439
Speaker 2: getting started. A lot of stuff to get to. Eric

1024
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 2: Bienemy in the news. He returns to the college ranks.

1025
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 2: It'll be his first college job since he worked as

1026
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 2: Colorado's offensive coordinator back in twenty eleven and twenty twelve.

1027
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 2: This is why I think this moves significant. Let's not

1028
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 2: forget Eric Benemy was a star high school player in

1029
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 2: San Diego. He played professionally for the Chargers. And you know,

1030
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 2: Eric Bienemy was a key cog and Colorado's national championship

1031
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 2: team back in nineteen ninety. Here's the significance. UCLA has

1032
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 2: hired Deshaun Foster as their new head coach. He's entering

1033
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 2: his first season as a head coach, so this hire

1034
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 2: as an offensive coordinator is a crucial one. Foster does

1035
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 2: not have coordinator experience. You're bringing in a guy with

1036
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 2: a breadth of experience, Eric Benemy, super Bowls, NFL, and

1037
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 2: he can begin to set the vision of what UCLA

1038
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 2: likes to look like on that side of the ball.

1039
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 2: Now I realize he's replaced in chip Kelly. They didn't

1040
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 2: really produce results at UCLA. I think it's a great

1041
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 2: opportunity for Eric Benemy, and it's a great opportunity to

1042
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 2: help support Deshaun Foster, a former UCLA star. Also, if

1043
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 2: you're scoring at home, I nerd out on stuff like this.

1044
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 2: Deshaun went to Tustin High School in the heart of

1045
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 2: Orange County, California. It has produced many great athletes including

1046
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 2: you know, Frosty Rucker and Sean Green and Mark Grace

1047
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 2: and of course Fox Sports raiders on. Doug Gottlieb also

1048
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 2: went to Tustin High School. That's I digress. What Bien

1049
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 2: me brings though, to me, which is huge, is sixteen

1050
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 2: years of NFL experience to the Bruins. And if you

1051
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 2: don't think college players eat that up, trust me. I

1052
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 2: realized Enemy only was with the Commanders one year last year,

1053
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 2: but he helped the Chiefs the two Super Bowls as

1054
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 2: their offensive coordinator. He held that role for five years.

1055
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 2: You have to give the enemy credit. He went to

1056
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 2: five straight conference championships in games that also got to

1057
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl three times. I think bne me brings

1058
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 2: a lot to the Bruins. And one of the things

1059
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 2: I also thinks that bring. I think it brings is

1060
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 2: help on the recruiting trail, because I genuinely believe that

1061
00:57:55,440 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 2: I'll hire like this can engender some excitement and for

1062
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 2: potential recruits to come to UCLA. Why think about it,

1063
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 2: UCLA is moving to the Big Ten next year. I

1064
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 2: remember the days, and I know certainly Steve Hartman does

1065
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 2: too as well, and our good buddy Kurt kreutchmar a

1066
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,919
Speaker 2: patriarch here at Fox Sports Radio. I remember the days

1067
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 2: when UCLA football was absolutely the real deal, all the

1068
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 2: way up till about nineteen ninety eight, ninety nine, when

1069
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 2: they had that interestis loss at Miami. They lost Edgar

1070
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 2: and James. They were on their way to perhaps the

1071
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 2: you know, the National Championship. So you're gonna have excitement,

1072
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 2: You're gonna have NFL experience, you're gonna have pedigree. At

1073
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 2: a time when I think UCLA could use it more

1074
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 2: than ever. Now. There have been plenty of coaches who've

1075
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 2: gone from the NFL back to college and succeeded. About

1076
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh, about Nick Saban, about Bill O'Brien, Cliff Kingsbury

1077
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 2: did it. Now the Enemy's going to the same. So

1078
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 2: I've always liked Eric b Enemy. There's there's a fourthrightness

1079
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 2: about him. There's something about the guy. I understand. Maybe

1080
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 2: he can be a hard ass, and maybe people need that,

1081
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 2: but I remember him as a player and I certainly

1082
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 2: have observed him in his demeanor and how he goes

1083
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 2: about his job. And you know, college football teams, any

1084
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 2: team just about at any level, whether it be high

1085
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 2: school through the NFL, they're going to take on the

1086
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 2: personality of their field general. And I think if these

1087
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: kids listen to Eric Enemy, he's not only going to

1088
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 2: teach him offensively and become better. I think that he

1089
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 2: will set a tone and I think kids will be

1090
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 2: open minded to him because he's been there, done that,

1091
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 2: played in the NFL, played on a college championship team,

1092
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,479
Speaker 2: And I think Eric Benemy is a type of guy

1093
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 2: that if he tells a kid to do something, you

1094
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 2: know we're in a new generation. Thirty years ago, you

1095
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 2: tell a kid to run through a wall, he says why,

1096
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 2: He says, he's gone, He's gonna do it. Now, you

1097
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:10,479
Speaker 2: tell the kid to run through a wall, he's gonna

1098
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 2: stop and say why. And I get it, because leadership

1099
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 2: in our country has been more abund more, more more

1100
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 2: off than not in the last couple of decades. But

1101
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 2: the enemy reminds me of a story of a guy

1102
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: wandering through the desert, hadn't had water in three days,

1103
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 2: and he was about to die. All of a sudden,

1104
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 2: he sees a mirage of a five star restaurant in

1105
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 2: his sights, just one hundred yards down the road. And

1106
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 2: he's not sure if he's delirious and he's seeing things

1107
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,919
Speaker 2: or this is real. And lo and behold, fifty feet

1108
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 2: up the road, he sees a gentleman. He says, I

1109
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 2: need your help. Is that up there? Is that really

1110
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 2: a five star restaurant? He says, yes, it is. He goes, well,

1111
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if I can make it. Can you

1112
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 2: please help me? I need some water, sir, Can you

1113
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 2: please give me a cup of water? Do you have

1114
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 2: any bottle of water? He goes, I don't have any

1115
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 2: bottle of water. But I do have these beautiful neckties.

1116
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 2: They're red, they're green, they're blue. Would you like to

1117
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 2: buy one? He is, you idiot. I don't need a necktie.

1118
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 2: I need water. So the gentleman musters up all of

1119
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 2: his strength to walk, crawl, straggle finally makes it all

1120
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 2: the way to the five star restaurant. After three days

1121
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 2: of no water. He's delirious. He's this close to being dead. Somehow,

1122
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 2: crawls up to the bar, pulls himself up, props himself

1123
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 2: up on the bar, looks at the bartenders and sir,

1124
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 2: I'm about to die. Could you please give me a

1125
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 2: cup of water. The bartender looks at him and says,

1126
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, sir, you can't be in here without a tie.

1127
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 2: My point is that I believe one of the things

1128
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 2: that Eric b Enemy will bring to the UCLA program

1129
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 2: is the type of respect and fortitude to when he

1130
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,919
Speaker 2: tells you to do something, it won't be questioned. I'm

1131
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 2: curious to see what they're gonna do coming up. Well,

1132
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 2: we now have a new format called the five plus seven.

1133
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 2: What am I talking about? Well, if you're a college

1134
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 2: football fan, you may already know we'll bring you up

1135
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,560

01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:35,440

1148

1183
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 2: another baffo performance. We'll see if you can outdo your

1184
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 2: your Super Bowl performance that was that was extra special.

1185
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 2: And by the way, good job by Mark Ramsey there

1186
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 2: on the on the laugh track. All right, So here's

1187
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 2: the deal, and it won't be long. It's been a

1188
01:04:56,120 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 2: long time incoming that this stupid four team made for

1189
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 2: TV Invitational tournament. In college football. While I think somehow,

1190
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 2: some way, ultimately I think we've ended up with the

1191
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 2: most deserving national champion, I would just say this that

1192
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 2: I knew it had a fundamental problem when it was

1193
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 2: introduced nine years ago, because you have five power conferences

1194
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 2: and you have four slots, so someone was always going

1195
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 2: to be left out in a way that would feel egregious.

1196
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 2: And you know, I know it won't You know, Florida

1197
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 2: State fans will not forget too soon what happened to them.

1198
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 2: But I digress. This new playoff four man is now

1199
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 2: called five plus seven and it finally got ratified on Tuesday.

1200
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 2: We now will have a twelve team expanded playoff. The

1201
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 2: officials had to scrap the original proposal, the six plus six,

1202
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:53,959
Speaker 2: because the latest realignment left Pack twelve to two members, So, right,

1203
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 2: you couldn't have them have an automatic bid, could you?

1204
01:05:58,560 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 3: So?

1205
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 2: For at least two more years? Though, believe it or not,

1206
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 2: though this is good. I think this was good. The

1207
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 2: PAC twelve will retain a voting spot on the eleven

1208
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 2: member committee, and you've got university presidents from I think

1209
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 2: ten FBS schools and Notre Dame. And so now it's

1210
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 2: a five plus seven begins next season. Here's how it's

1211
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 2: gonna work. The four highest ranked conference champions are in

1212
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 2: a bye into the quarterfinals, which, like the semi finals,

1213
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 2: will be played at a rotation of six bull sites.

1214
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 2: What's cool about this is that the opening round games

1215
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 2: will be played on college campuses starting December twenty. It's

1216
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 2: gonna be a month long tournament, right and in the

1217
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 2: first round games it will be played at the home

1218
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 2: set of the better seed. It'll kick off the third

1219
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 2: week week of December. One game will be played Friday night,

1220
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 2: December twentieth, then three games on Saturday, December twenty first,

1221
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 2: and that'll of course pit college football versus the NFL.

1222
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 2: We've talked about this before because the NFL begins playing

1223
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 2: regular Saturday regular season games that weekend. But it's just

1224
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 2: going to be a you know, it's football porn for

1225
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 2: everybody because you'll be watching both. You'll find a way

1226
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 2: to watch both. It's a logical adjudstment for the college

1227
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 2: football Playoff based on the fact new conference structures have evolved.

1228
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 3: And.

1229
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 2: I think it's renewed hope for teams, coaches, fans, players.

1230
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 2: And then you know, you get to the three quarterfinals,

1231
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 2: they're slated for New Year's Day. You have the Peach Bowl,

1232
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl, and the Sugar Bowl. Then you have

1233
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 2: one schedule on New Year's Eve. Some people went out

1234
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 2: like that and if yes to Bowl, you'll have to

1235
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 2: get over it, but then you'll have the semi finals.

1236
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 2: Then we played on a midweek day Thursday and Friday,

1237
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 2: January ninth and tenth. That'll be an effort to avoid

1238
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 2: the NFL's Wildcard weekend. So imagine that football crazy weekend

1239
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 2: because the NFL has not got their super Wildcard weekend.

1240
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:00,919
Speaker 2: So you'll have the college football semifinals on January ninth

1241
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 2: and tenth, Thursday and Friday, then on the eleven, twelve,

1242
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 2: and thirteenth to have an NFL Supercard Super Wildcard weekend.

1243
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty four championship game will be held on

1244
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 2: January twentieth, twenty twenty five. He's that significant, Yeah, it is?

1245
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 2: Why Well, first of all, it's the first time ever

1246
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 2: in this format. Also happens to be on doctor Martin

1247
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 2: Luther King's holiday. And I believe inauguration Day is January twentieth,

1248
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 2: swearing a new president. So long and short of it

1249
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 2: is a month long tournament. This model was long expected,

1250
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 2: and it's been talked about, you know, and honed, you know,

1251
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 2: and adjusted, and I think it makes sense. Okay. I

1252
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 2: realized that the SEC and Big ten dominate the field,

1253
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 2: and if you were to go back and project what

1254
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,440
Speaker 2: this would have looked like over the last ten years.

1255
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 2: One hundred and twenty spots. Seventy three of them would

1256
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 2: have been accounted for by the SEC in the Big

1257
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,879
Speaker 2: had there been a five plus seven twelve teen playoff.

1258
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 2: That's sixty one percent. However, that logic does have some

1259
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 2: flaws because those calculations were made assuming there was no

1260
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 2: PAC twelve. PAC twelves were kind of as part of

1261
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 2: their new leaks, so the Big twelve still represented seventeen entrants,

1262
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,599
Speaker 2: the ACC would have had fourteen, the group of five

1263
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 2: would have a total of twelve, so you're gonna have

1264
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 2: a chance, and Notre Dame would have had four any way,

1265
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 2: slice it. I think people are gonna love this. I

1266
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 2: think people are gonna eat it up, and I think

1267
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 2: it will bring, you know, record not just the tenants,

1268
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 2: but record TV ratings and certainly record revenues and record

1269
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 2: betting handles. Not a dot in my mind coming up.

1270
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 2: I want to revisit an earlier subject because it's really

1271
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 2: taken out a life of its own on Twitter for starters,

1272
01:09:55,560 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 2: but there are many angles with which people are respond now,

1273
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 2: even implying the Kyle Philipowski tried to trip a wake

1274
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 2: for his student when the players rush the floor, which

1275
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:09,560
Speaker 2: doesn't change the fact that if fans weren't on the

1276
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 2: floor in the first place, we wouldnt have this issues. I

1277
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 2: want to bring in Shay and I want to bring

1278
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 2: in Kevin Wirtt and Mark get their thoughts on this

1279
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 2: whole rushing the floor situation, because I promise you you're

1280
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 2: going to see this far more discussed in a manner

1281
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 2: of debate and in a manner of sociological solution. What

1282
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 2: do we do? We're in different times. They used to

1283
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 2: be celebrated. Now let's look at as real danger, just

1284
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 2: the new normal that we're in. By the way, shortly

Speaker 2: comedy live from the Tarak dot Com studios here in

Speaker 2: Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio. All right, So you've seen

1299
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 2: it a thousand times by now. On Sports Center, a

1300
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 2: storm was brewing before the game was over. There's actually

1301
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 2: video of the incident tonight in Wake Force. It appears

1302
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 2: to show Wake Forest fans starting to stampede towards the

1303
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 2: mid court with all kinds of reckless abandoned, some of

1304
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 2: them at the free throw line before the game even ended.

1305
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 2: But it speaks to a larger issue. Storming the court,

1306
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:51,160
Speaker 2: Storming the field is becoming more commonplace. Now. Three weeks ago,

1307
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark could have easily gotten hurt. She took a tumble.

1308
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 2: There was an incident in Memphis Tulane game a couple

1309
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. We could go on and on, but

1310
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 2: let's talk about the this. Let's talk about the phenomenon

1311
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 2: of this thoughts. Because I promise you turn on your

1312
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 2: highlight shows this coming week, you're going to see debate

1313
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 2: about storming the court. Shay, let's start with you, is

1314
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 2: getch your point of view on this whole phenomenon and

1315
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:14,839
Speaker 2: tonight's incident.

1316
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 10: I mean, it's a it's a super unfortunate incident. Obviously

1317
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 10: I wasn't. I wasn't necessarily feeling like it's something I'm

1318
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 10: upset about. Obviously it sucks that he's hurt, but yeah,

1319
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 10: I know, it wasn't something that I was like, oh,

1320
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 10: this is something they need to stop doing. Oh this

1321
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 10: is something that needs to end right now. Or it

1322
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 10: was more something like how have they not gotten in

1323
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 10: like security guards on this Like I know exactly exactly

1324
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 10: like I know him football Like at the end of it,

1325
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:50,759
Speaker 10: I always see them surrounded by sheriffs with the cool

1326
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 10: hats and like there's like four of them surrounding in.

1327
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 10: I'm like, obviously with football, there's tons of players there,

1328
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 10: but football players are also six to eight and three

1329
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 10: hundred pounds that they don't necessarily need that. But with

1330
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 10: with with these basketball players, there's there's not too many

1331
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 10: of them. I mean, what there's how many people max

1332
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 10: on a team can you have on a team, or at

1333
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 10: least bench.

1334
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 2: Wide, there's about thirteen fifteen a roster exactly there.

1335
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:13,759
Speaker 11: I was thirteen to fifteen.

1336
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:15,680
Speaker 10: What you you put them in a circle and you

1337
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 10: get what like ten to ten ten cops just to

1338
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 10: rush rush the away team out just real quick. It's

1339
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 10: super easy. I really don't see the issue in that,

1340
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 10: and I don't know why they're doing it. I guess

1341
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 10: it's more wake Forest's fault for not providing it. I guess,

1342
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 10: like I don't know if this is something that I

1343
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 10: don't know which school has to provide it, And I

1344
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:38,839
Speaker 10: don't know whose fault it is in that regard.

1345
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:40,440
Speaker 11: I mean, that's not for me to decide.

1346
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,719
Speaker 10: It's more of just like this needs to be done,

1347
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 10: and and I'm surprised it hasn't been done sooner rather

1348
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 10: than later, especially with how much these kids are worth

1349
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 10: now with NIL and everything else. Like I'm sure these

1350
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 10: nil sponsors are pissed if something was that, and like

1351
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 10: that's something we don't think about either, Like these kids

1352
01:13:57,560 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 10: are worth a lot of money right now, and it's

1353
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 10: like it's it's not just a kid getting injured, it's

1354
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 10: it's it's money, it's sponsorships, it's it's a lot. So

1355
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 10: I think they definitely got to figure this out, and

1356
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 10: I think they will figure it out, and I'm sure

1357
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 10: all the sponsors will make sure they figure it out.

1358
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 2: They're trying because of the fines.

1359
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 3: You know.

1360
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 2: It's interesting. So when I covered Unov basketball, I did

1361
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,720
Speaker 2: a show called Rebel Extra pre and Post for the

1362
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 2: local Astean affiliate here for seven years. And in December

1363
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:29,560
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, the number two ranked Arizona Wildcats came to town.

1364
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:33,680
Speaker 2: In Unov upset them. Everybody's storing the court and she

1365
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 2: only gave him overcovered in a phishing capacity. I remember thinking,

1366
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 2: oh man, this is cool. It was a celebration. It was.

1367
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 2: It was spontaneous combustion because no one thought you and

1368
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 2: he would beat them that night. But ten years later,

1369
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 2: it's looked at much differently. Now it's looked at it

1370
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 2: as more nefarious. What do you think changed, because now

1371
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 2: we're talking more about injuries and danger where before it

1372
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 2: was celebration. I haven't been able to put my finger

1373
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 2: on how did this change in your view? What changed? Dynamically?

1374
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 10: Honestly I was thinking about that too, because it's see

1375
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 10: we've seen it in movies like we've always thought about it.

1376
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 11: It's this storytelling thing.

1377
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 10: It's this it's this thing that everyone's so excited for,

1378
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 10: like the girl kisses.

1379
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 11: The boy, like blah blah blah blah blah, prom king.

1380
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 10: Like that's what I always think when I think of

1381
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,839
Speaker 10: rushing it rushing a field, like I did it myself,

1382
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 10: but in high school when we went CIF, but it

1383
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 10: it wasn't something that now necessarily everyone's like hates it. It's

1384
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 10: like it's it's the media. And I think it's because

1385
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 10: it's a lot more people. There's a lot more cameras,

1386
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 10: Like we're seeing the injuries, more people are talking about

1387
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 10: at Twitter, like we're getting more first hand accounts. They're like, yeah,

1388
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 10: I'm sure people were getting injured back in the day,

1389
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 10: but they didn't have Twitter to go on and say

1390
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 10: blah blah blah, this happened to me, This happened to me.

1391
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 10: We also didn't have high speed cameras picking things up

1392
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:54,679
Speaker 10: like this. And again, these guys weren't worth that much money.

1393
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 10: They were just college athletes, which they didn't have a

1394
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 10: lot of rights back in the day, to be honest, Like,

1395
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 10: I feel like that has a lot more to do

1396
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 10: with it. It's like these guys are huge assets and it's

1397
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 10: it's I think that's the biggest thing. It's their assets

1398
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,640
Speaker 10: at this point. I mean they've always been assets, but

1399
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,799
Speaker 10: they're even bigger assets at this point, which which sucks

1400
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,680
Speaker 10: like that I'm calling them that, but seriously.

1401
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 2: Like, well, there, you're not wrong exactly. You heard Alan

1402
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 2: with Alan Boston talk about you know, let's take this

1403
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 2: even a step further. I want to get to I

1404
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 2: want to get to Kevin as well as Mark. It

1405
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 2: just overs so quickly. People can watch the replay of

1406
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 2: Hank Aaron hitting the seven hundred and fifteen to the

1407
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 2: round rounding third base and having two guys run on

1408
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 2: the field and patted on the back, and people ran

1409
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 2: on the field in in the nineteen seventy seven World Series,

1410
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,799
Speaker 2: and Reggie Jackson it's be home runs, they beat the Dodgers.

1411
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 2: People storm the field, Yankee fans are tearing up turf.

1412
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 2: Reggie had a legendary broken field run just to get

1413
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 2: off the field. Things are dramatically changed. You run on

1414
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 2: the field now you're going to jail. So things have

1415
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 2: evolved for whatever reason. Kevin, why are your thoughts on

1416
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 2: what happened tonight at wake Forest and the general you know,

1417
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 2: the general subject matter of charging the court, charging the field.

1418
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 8: I'm incredibly torn on this because part of why we

1419
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 8: love college sports is that passion, not just from the players,

1420
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 8: but from the student body as well, getting all involved

1421
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 8: into the game, celebrating a big win like that and

1422
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 8: storming in the field has been a big part of that.

1423
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 8: In ninety nine percent of the time, it's harmless fun.

1424
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 8: But of course, as we saw the last month or

1425
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 8: so with Caitlyn Clark and then now with Kyle Philipowski,

1426
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 8: it is not always harmless fun, and someone can get hurt.

1427
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 8: And the question is at what point how badly does

1428
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 8: someone need to get hurt before we'll.

1429
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 2: See I think you hit it there, Kevin. We're not

1430
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 2: going to see a real change. So someone a key

1431
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 2: player gets hurt, misses a game or.

1432
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 8: Something, Yeah, so I think that will be the breaking point.

1433
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:49,839
Speaker 8: But that's the question I have is at what point

1434
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 8: is it too dangerous to continue to allow? And I

1435
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 8: agree with Shay over there, say, you know, trying to

1436
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 8: maybe add extra security, do extra things before going to

1437
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 8: outright banning this court storm, because again, it is part

1438
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 8: of why we like college sports, but we also do

1439
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 8: need to consider the safety of the athletes as a

1440
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 8: part of this, and the fact that they do have

1441
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 8: million dollar careers on the line now more now than

1442
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 8: they did a couple decades ago.

1443
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 2: It's all fun until someone loses NYE, Right, mark I

1444
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 2: didn't thanks Kevin to me to cut you short, but

1445
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 2: Mark I didn't lie you enough time and the time

1446
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 2: we have left. What are your thoughts?

1447
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 12: It's always you know, I guess thinking about it. No

1448
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 12: one ever sees down the road what could happen. But

1449
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 12: with that many people, you have to think about the

1450
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 12: players and think about the people running on the court

1451
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 12: or field, there's something that could possibly happen because that

1452
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 12: many people running into each other is always a scary thoughts.

1453
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 13: So you got to have to be careful all the

1454
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 13: way around.

1455
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 2: If you guys get a chance to google what happened

1456
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 2: in Memphis to Lane about a month ago, and it's

1457
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 2: a little and what the potential for something could happen?

1458
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 2: You know, Shape brought up a good point. Why isn't

1459
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:08,600
Speaker 2: there more security when we know now that this is

1460
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,719
Speaker 2: really becoming a thing and we have gotten a glimpse

1461
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,599

1472
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 2: words in sports pitchers and catchers report, He's already in

1473
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 2: our rearview mirror. We've already had spring training games, and

1474
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:04,719
Speaker 2: that means the show he watch is on. We are,

1475
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,639
Speaker 2: by the way, is all it is Shohio Tani's world.

1476
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 2: We are just visiting and it all started Thursday and

1477
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 2: didn't even play. These are the I'm going to give

1478
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 2: you the thirteen days, the Otani days to circle on

1479
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 2: your twenty twenty four calendar, not just your baseball calendar,

1480
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 2: but your calendar. So here are some key Otani dates. Well,

1481
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 2: you already missed one, maybe you didn't. Dodgers opened up

1482
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 2: spring training against the Padres. They killed him. I think

1483
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 2: one of the more anticipated spring training games in Major

1484
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 2: League Baseball history, even though Otani was not in the lineup.

1485
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 2: All eyes are on the Purias Sports Complex in Pure Arizona.

1486
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:52,280
Speaker 2: The Cactus League slate is underway now. The next big

1487
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 2: sho Heo Tani date is March twentieth, which isn't that

1488
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 2: far away. It's three weeks from Thursday. They start real

1489
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 2: early because the Dodgers will open up their Major League

1490
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 2: Baseball season, their twenty twenty four season against those Saint

1491
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 2: Padres in Seoul, South Korea. Yep, They'll have a two

1492
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 2: game series against the Padres in Seoul, marking the first

1493
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:20,799
Speaker 2: ever Major league regular season baseball game played in Korea. Fittingly,

1494
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 2: it will give Otani the chance to make his team

1495
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 2: debut on the international stage. By the way, make no mistake,

1496
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 2: every single game this year will be broadcast on Japanese

1497
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 2: national TV. When the show How Towny Plays Chump I

1498
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 2: had six days later. No, this one's a weird one.

1499
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 2: The Dodgers will have already played two regular season games

1500
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 2: that count in the standings in Korea, but on March

1501
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 2: twenty six, they'll come back you know, one of my

1502
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 2: favorite things growing up around Anaheim Stadium always was the

1503
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 2: Freeway Series. I don't know if they even call it

1504
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 2: that anymore, but the Dodgers and Angels would scare off.

1505
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 2: I think they just call it an annual exhibition series now,

1506
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 2: but he was the Freeway Series. March twenty fourth through

1507
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 2: twenty sixth, They'll play two games at Dodger Stadium, will

1508
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 2: finish up one at Anaheim. Now, it was the significance

1509
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 2: to me is the twenty sixth in Anaheim fans? Well,

1510
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 2: if you were an Angel fan, I'm not gonna have

1511
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 2: to wait very long to see Shoheo Tani make his

1512
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 2: return trip to Angel Stadium, where he has called home

1513
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 2: the past six seasons, Because the Dodgers and Angels will

1514
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 2: play an exhibition game part of the Freeway Series what

1515
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 2: they used to call our March twenty sixth in Anaheim Stadium.

1516
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 2: Otani will make his official home opener at Dodger Stadium

1517
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 2: against the Saint Louis Cardinals on March twenty eighth, again

1518
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 2: not that far away, four weeks from what next Thursday.

1519
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 2: Otani's official Dodgers debut will come eight days prior in Korea.

1520
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 2: I get it, but I think you may see him

1521
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 2: get you a played appearance, dud. They're talking about him

1522
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:01,760
Speaker 2: having fifty at bats in spring training. He's not gonna

1523
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 2: pitch this year, you know that. But he'll have his

1524
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 2: first ever regular home season game as a member of

1525
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers March twenty eighth against the Saint

1526
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 2: Lewis Cardinals. This is his true coming out party. It's

1527
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 2: a real game, it's at home in Los Angeles. I

1528
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 2: would imagine ticket prices will be the real premium now

1529
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 2: next day to open up to note on your Otani calendars.

1530
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 2: April fifth at Chicago Wrigley Field. Why is that significant? Well,

1531
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 2: believe it or not, No, Tani's never played a single

1532
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 2: game in his career at wrigley Field, but he'll be

1533
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 2: there right off the bat in April when the Dodgers

1534
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 2: taken on the Cubs. Who again, this is part of

1535
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 2: the storyline. Allegedly the Cubs are really reportedly allegedly among

1536
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:52,920
Speaker 2: the finalists to sign Shohio Tani. They didn't get him.

1537
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 2: But as you heard Kevin wired at the Chef in

1538
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 2: his update, Cody Bellingers will return into the Cub three

1539
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:03,839
Speaker 2: or three years even dollars. April twenty six the plot thickens.

1540
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 2: Otani will make his first trip to Toronto the Blue Jays.

1541
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 2: Remember that report that got out He's on a flight

1542
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 2: to Toronto. That turned out the BFO gazy okay, stuff happens.

1543
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 2: We're not gonna pick on anybody here. For a short time,

1544
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 2: it looked as if the Blue Jays were actually gonna

1545
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 2: land O Toani. There were rumors emerging under Somber ninth

1546
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,840
Speaker 2: he was on a flight to Toronto. Those rumors proved untrue.

1547
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 2: Otani picked the Dodgers one day later. However, Trani will

1548
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,679
Speaker 2: Otani will be making a trip to Toronto. After all,

1549
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:35,599
Speaker 2: he'll be a visiting Dodger. April twenty sixth through twenty eighth.

1550
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 2: This is another one you want to mark on the calendar.

1551
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 2: May third, Dodgers at home versus the Atlanta Braves. What's

1552
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 2: the significance You're gonna have the two reigning in VPS

1553
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:50,759
Speaker 2: showy Otani and Toronalodo Qunya Junior. They'll share the spotlight,

1554
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 2: They'll share the field with the two teams who I

1555
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 2: think will battle for the National League opportunity to go

1556
01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 2: to the World Series. I'm not so sure the Dodgers

1557
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 2: are gonna make it. They might, they might, but don't

1558
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 2: count those braves out. You're gonna get a I think,

1559
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:09,560
Speaker 2: a preview of what the who knows of what the

1560
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 2: National League of Championship Series might be. So just Otani

1561
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 2: and Ronald cunea junior on the field at the same

1562
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,480
Speaker 2: time be the price of the mission. Jump to May thirteenth,

1563
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 2: the Giants host the Dodgers. Now, if you're a Giants fan,

1564
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you you've been massively frustrated the past

1565
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 2: five years if you have had designs and hopes on

1566
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 2: watching your team not only go big name honey, big

1567
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 2: name free agent hunting, but watching your team get spurned

1568
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:49,679
Speaker 2: not once, not twice, but three in a row. Otani

1569
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 2: was merely the latest big name free agent to spurn

1570
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 2: the Giants. Remember Bryce Harper did it in twenty eighteen

1571
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 2: and Aaron Judge did it two years ago. Worst of all,

1572
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 2: not only do Otani spurn the Giants, he joined their

1573
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 2: biggest rival, which means the Giants are gonna get to

1574
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 2: see a lot of Shohey Atani over the next ten years.

1575
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:13,440
Speaker 2: After playing the Dodgers in La April, one through three.

1576
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 2: The Giants will host Otani's new team at Oracle Park

1577
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 2: May thirteen through the fifteen, So you're gonna have six

1578
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 2: opportunities to see those two teams square off in the

1579
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 2: first what six eight weeks of the season? Less than that.

1580
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:33,639
Speaker 2: May twenty seventh, another date on the Otani calendar, he'll

1581
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 2: visit the Mets. The Dodgers will visit the Mets. Now,

1582
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 2: there were folks I never believe this because I always

1583
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 2: thought Otani wanted to stay on the West Coast. I

1584
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 2: actually thought there was a very good chance he stayed

1585
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,000
Speaker 2: with the Angels, and he came closer than you think.

1586
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 2: But there are reasons why it didn't happen. Be that

1587
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 2: as it may. He stayed in Soco. The Mets had

1588
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 2: vast financial resources. Some pundits picked them as the early

1589
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,560
Speaker 2: favorites to Atani. I never believed it because Otani was

1590
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 2: relocked him to play in New York. They never really

1591
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 2: had a real shot. But Otani will make his first

1592
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 2: trip to the Big Apple as a member of the

1593
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 2: Dodgers May twenty seventh through twenty ninth. That'll be a

1594
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 2: series that'll gain even more intrigue because the Mets well,

1595
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 2: Yoshinobo Yamoto, who knows it'll still be a story. Otani

1596
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 2: played the Mets ten days later, he gets to visit

1597
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 2: the Big Apple again, this time at the Yankees. Unlike

1598
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 2: Otani's first run at free agency back in twenty seventeen.

1599
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 2: Remember he came over from Japan among great fanfare that

1600
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:39,680
Speaker 2: even did a feature on him in sixty minutes. Who

1601
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,760
Speaker 2: would get him? Would it be the Mariners? Would it

1602
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 2: be the Yankees? I think he had to pony out

1603
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 2: fifty million used to talk to him or to sign him.

1604
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 2: The Yankees didn't even pursue him this time. They did

1605
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, but they didn't They didn't do it

1606
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:56,600
Speaker 2: this time. Instead, the Yankee swung a trade with the

1607
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 2: Potteries for Juan Soto, so that pair moved up. Sold

1608
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 2: there and Judge who edged out twenty Otani into twenty

1609
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 2: twenty two al MVP race. Now Yankee Stadium, you know

1610
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:10,240
Speaker 2: that place will be a buzz when you got Sho Yotani,

1611
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Mookie Betts all on this field

1612
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:21,240
Speaker 2: at the same time. Well, remember you know, anytime you

1613
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 2: get the Dodgers Yankees together for any reason, anytime, it's electricity.

1614
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 2: But Otani going to the Big Apple and playing a

1615
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:31,599
Speaker 2: Yankee stadium. When Yankee showed, Hey, they didn't like getting

1616
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:34,879
Speaker 2: sperned in twenty seventeen, they didn't bother this time. Finally,

1617
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:40,680
Speaker 2: June eleventh, the Dodgers will host the Texas Rangers. You

1618
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 2: may say, why is that such a big day to

1619
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 2: circle on the Otani calendar. Well, the Rangers last year

1620
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 2: were the darlings of the offseason free agency when they

1621
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 2: signed Corey Seeger, Marcus Simeon, and Anthony Evaldi, which led

1622
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 2: them to a World Series title in twenty twenty three

1623
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 2: in their very first year. Dodgers have high hopes that

1624
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 2: Addie Otani will have the similar effect the first year

1625
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:13,080
Speaker 2: the other angle. Corey Seeger, of course, helped Los Angeles

1626
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 2: win it All in twenty twenty the COVID season, but

1627
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 2: the Dodgers opted not to resign him when he became

1628
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 2: a free agent in twenty twenty one. Again, the significance

1629
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 2: perhaps doing that paved the way for Otani's deal two

1630
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 2: years later. So we'll see if it, if it pays

1631
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 2: dividends or not. Any way you slice it, all eyes

1632
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:38,320
Speaker 2: will be on Otani I promise you they will be

1633
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 2: on Otani coming up. We don't talk a lot of NHL,

1634
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:48,479
Speaker 2: But what if I told you a young man who

1635
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 2: might be the best player in the game. Look at

1636
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:53,400
Speaker 2: you become the fastest player to score fifty goals in

1637
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:57,920
Speaker 2: the season. And he's from Scottsdale, Arizona. You've probably heard

1638
01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:01,360
Speaker 2: of him. I'll give you a refresher. I'm Bernie Fraddle

1639
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 2: will coming to your live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio,

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Right back on the Bernie Fraddle Show,

1642
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, come to your live from the tarat

1643
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 2: dot com studios here in Las Vegas. Hey, don't remember,

1644
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:19,240
Speaker 2: don't forget? Coming up top of the hour two am Pacific,

1645
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:23,840
Speaker 2: five am Eastern, The Dance Sensation Sweep of the Nation,

1646
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:26,679
Speaker 2: brand new editions of what kind of brand new fool

1647
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:31,320
Speaker 2: of you? And what my name had a tweeter? Why

1648
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 2: don't you ever talk hockey? He's not wrong. We don't

1649
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:38,320
Speaker 2: a lot because typically until the Stanley Cup Finals get here,

1650
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:40,679
Speaker 2: to the playoffs get here, it's not something that has

1651
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:43,759
Speaker 2: broad based it's a regional sport. I respect I mentally

1652
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:46,559
Speaker 2: the popularity. Trust me. I was there for three Red

1653
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 2: Wings Stanley Cup championships and over here in Vegas for theirs.

1654
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:55,000
Speaker 2: But when you have a performance like we're having that

1655
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 2: it's perhaps slightly under the radar, not in hockey circles,

1656
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 2: but when you have a gentleman who scored his fiftieth

1657
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:07,360
Speaker 2: goal the season last week, accomplishing defeat faster than any

1658
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 2: other NHL player born in the United States, you have

1659
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:14,040
Speaker 2: to recognize and congratulate what this individual is doing. His

1660
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:17,200
Speaker 2: name is Austin Matthews. Sure you've heard of him. Number

1661
01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:20,200
Speaker 2: one draft choice back in twenty sixteen. He's been toiling

1662
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 2: in Toronto. Toronto's got a pretty good team this year.

1663
01:31:22,040 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what they make any noise in the playoffs,

1664
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:28,000
Speaker 2: but he scored his fiftieth goal in just fifty four games.

1665
01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:31,160
Speaker 2: He scored on a power play. Then he scored his

1666
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:34,639
Speaker 2: fifty first goal about ten minutes later, gave the Maple

1667
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 2: Leafs a four to two lead. But here's what's interesting

1668
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 2: is that he is now becoming a very rarefied year,

1669
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:49,600
Speaker 2: Austin Matthews broke his own record of fifty goals in

1670
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:55,640
Speaker 2: sixty two games, which I think he did about a

1671
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 2: couple years ago. That was held by Kevin Stevens of

1672
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Penguins thirty years years ago. But Matthews also

1673
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 2: became the fastest active player in the NHL to break

1674
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:06,280
Speaker 2: the mark. He broke the record a sixty one game

1675
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:08,840
Speaker 2: set by Connor McDavid, who did it with the Edmonton

1676
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 2: Oilers last season. So look, Wayne Gretzky, of course, is

1677
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 2: way out there in the stratosphere. He holds the NHL

1678
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:22,000
Speaker 2: record as the fastest player to score fifty goals. Back

1679
01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:25,400
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty two, Wayne Gretzky scored fifty goals in

1680
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:29,439
Speaker 2: the first thirty nine games of the season. Remember he serves.

1681
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:31,800
Speaker 2: I think Gretzky went on and scored ninety two goals

1682
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 2: that year and had like one hundred and ten asists.

1683
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 2: Maybe someone can correct me. But when you're mentioning the

1684
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 2: same name as is Connor McDavid and Wayne Gretzky and

1685
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 2: Kevin Stevens, and you're a young kid who grew up

1686
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,960
Speaker 2: a Coylgies fan five minutes from the arena in Tempe, Arizona.

1687
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 2: When he reached a fifty gold milestone for the second time,

1688
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 2: in three seasons. You know, the ninth fastest player. They

1689
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 2: reached fifty goals over the past thirty five seasons, and

1690
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:59,680
Speaker 2: your name's mentioned Guys like Alex Vatchkin and Leon Drivesidled

1691
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:05,280
Speaker 2: and Steve even Stamcos. Okay, what wor can you say?

1692
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 2: Hockey is an amazingly popular and fun sport. It doesn't

1693
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:16,439
Speaker 2: translate well to radio for whatever reason, perhaps it's regionally.

1694
01:33:17,200 --> 01:33:19,599
Speaker 2: But when you have a gentleman. By the way, this

1695
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:21,839
Speaker 2: kid he was a number one pick by Toronto overall

1696
01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 2: in the twenty sixteen NFL draft, it's not that long ago.

1697
01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:26,720
Speaker 2: It sort of got three hundred and fifty goals in

1698
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 2: five hundred and thirty five games. That's like he scores

1699
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:33,679
Speaker 2: zero point sixty five goals per game. That's the seventh

1700
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,719
Speaker 2: highest in NHL history. So you have to ask yourself,

1701
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,000
Speaker 2: I mean, this kid's only I think he's twenty four

1702
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,799
Speaker 2: to twenty five years old, but he hangs around another

1703
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:44,920
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen years. He could break every record he

1704
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:47,760
Speaker 2: leaves the league in goals since entering the NHL. Who's

1705
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:50,519
Speaker 2: out of pace to score seventy six this season? And

1706
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:53,479
Speaker 2: I know there have been fourteen such occasions when there

1707
01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:56,400
Speaker 2: have been seventy goals in NHL history scored a season,

1708
01:33:56,840 --> 01:34:00,000
Speaker 2: most recently ninety three when Team Moslani and Alexander mcgildy

1709
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 2: did it. But this is a guy who just gets

1710
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:06,320
Speaker 2: him with bunches. It's unreal. Two time winner the Rocket

1711
01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 2: Rishard Trophy is the NHL's leading scorer, and now he's

1712
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:12,320
Speaker 2: done it again. Fastest to fifty goals. Keep an eye

1713
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:14,559
Speaker 2: on him. The best thing that can happen to Toronto

1714
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:19,360
Speaker 2: is to make some real noise in the NHL playoffs

1715
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:23,640
Speaker 2: this season. Coming up the bottom of the hour, you

1716
01:34:23,720 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 2: may or may not have heard our steam Baseball Commissioner

1717
01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:34,280
Speaker 2: Rob Manfred is stepping down. Well, not tomorrow, he said

1718
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:39,519
Speaker 2: he's stepping down. I believe in twenty twenty eight, twenty

1719
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:43,840
Speaker 2: twenty seven, something along those lines, January in twenty twenty nine.

1720
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:45,479
Speaker 2: I guess so twenty eight to be his last season,

1721
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:47,720
Speaker 2: and I think he's got a full plate at what

1722
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 2: he needs to do before he retires from baseball. But

1723
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:52,439
Speaker 2: I want to switch gears ever so quickly, and I

1724
01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:54,400
Speaker 2: want to bring in Shane Kevin on This is Mark two.

1725
01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:57,240
Speaker 2: About a week ago, I got tipped off that when

1726
01:34:57,280 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 2: people see these new Major League Baseball unis, they're gonna

1727
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:01,320
Speaker 2: look cheap.

1728
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:02,120
Speaker 3: Now.

1729
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball said that they were gonna improve mobility

1730
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:09,240
Speaker 2: and moisture management and fit their form, fitting stretchier, YadA

1731
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,679
Speaker 2: YadA yah, And immediately the players started complaining, they don't

1732
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:15,240
Speaker 2: fit right, they look cheap, they don't like the design.

1733
01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:18,479
Speaker 2: The player names are printed much smaller lettering, the text

1734
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:22,559
Speaker 2: is arched their Nike uniforms, and all people have done

1735
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:26,880
Speaker 2: as complain. But we didn't see coming right is now

1736
01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:29,360
Speaker 2: they're telling us they are see through. Dude, I had

1737
01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:31,320
Speaker 2: to look away. Shay, have you seen these new uniforms?

1738
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:31,960
Speaker 2: You have thoughts?

1739
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:33,400
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1740
01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:36,800
Speaker 10: So I actually I didn't see the on the TV,

1741
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:39,559
Speaker 10: but I saw a picture of them. I mean, yeah,

1742
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:42,920
Speaker 10: players shouldn't have to worry about what they're wearing when

1743
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:45,200
Speaker 10: they're playing. Like, that's something that's absurd, and I feel

1744
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 10: like that's something that they probably should have figured out

1745
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 10: before playing. I mean, obviously it's it's just in spring

1746
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 10: training and it's not actually playing playing, I guess, but again.

1747
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:58,000
Speaker 11: This is at your pro level. This has been a

1748
01:35:58,080 --> 01:35:59,280
Speaker 11: league for so long.

1749
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 10: I feel like you have to have players in there

1750
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 10: trying this on like, this is something that's like, it's

1751
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:07,320
Speaker 10: crazy to me that I even got past.

1752
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:12,160
Speaker 2: You know, they from what I heard, they were tested

1753
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:16,599
Speaker 2: on over three hundred players. But what's making the making

1754
01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:20,320
Speaker 2: the news is that they're allegedly see through. And now

1755
01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:23,679
Speaker 2: there's all kind of jokes about advertising for hot dogs.

1756
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 2: And Sean Casey, who's a great guy, played for the Tigers.

1757
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 2: You see him on the MB network. He said, well,

1758
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:31,519
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to change the rules because every time

1759
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:33,679
Speaker 2: a player comes to bat now he's going to start

1760
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:35,719
Speaker 2: with a count of two balls. I mean, he said

1761
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 2: that on TV. So jokes are flying, and you're right,

1762
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 2: you think they'd figure this out before it actually rubber

1763
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:45,240
Speaker 2: hits the road. And I've had a hard time now

1764
01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:47,479
Speaker 2: kind of watching. But I don't know if they're going

1765
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 2: to correct it or not. But again, this is another

1766
01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:53,280
Speaker 2: one of those things. It's conversationally taken on a life

1767
01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:55,600
Speaker 2: of its own. Kevin, go ahead, say you.

1768
01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:58,439
Speaker 10: Guys, you said that they tested three hundred players. I

1769
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:02,800
Speaker 10: wonder what the player said, because it's like, yeah, they're

1770
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 10: complaining now, but it's like, if you guys tested three

1771
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:09,519
Speaker 10: hundred players then nothing was said, then it's not you

1772
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:12,040
Speaker 10: can't really say anything now. Yeah, like it sucks now,

1773
01:37:12,120 --> 01:37:14,080
Speaker 10: but I mean they had a chance, you know what

1774
01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:16,360
Speaker 10: I mean, and that kind of changes everything for me.

1775
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:19,639
Speaker 10: I didn't know that players were tested, so yeah, I mean,

1776
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 10: obviously it's a completely different situation in game, like with

1777
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:25,439
Speaker 10: the sun hitting you. It's it's going to be different.

1778
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,519
Speaker 10: But I mean, if if they tested it, I mean,

1779
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:31,479
Speaker 10: I don't think it's their fault. They didn't know what

1780
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:33,040
Speaker 10: was going to be wrong and they tested it and

1781
01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:35,559
Speaker 10: everything ended up working right. So I mean, I don't

1782
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 10: think it would be the MLB's fault in that case,

1783
01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 10: especially if they tested it. But again, I'm not really

1784
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 10: sure what happened and how they tested, so that could

1785
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 10: be something as well.

1786
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 2: That might be So that may be a part of

1787
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:51,960
Speaker 2: the story that has to has to emerge, because I

1788
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 2: think we heard some of the comments, like I said

1789
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:56,640
Speaker 2: that there's you know, they look cheap, they don't like

1790
01:37:56,680 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 2: the lettering, et cetera, et cetera. But now the sea

1791
01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:01,200
Speaker 2: through portion is what's kind of made to do is Kevin?

1792
01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:02,559
Speaker 2: Why are your thoughts on the whole ordeal?

1793
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:05,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I get the whole making it breathable

1794
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:07,840
Speaker 8: and easier to play in and stuff. But I don't

1795
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 8: get why they decided to fix what wasn't broken in

1796
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:12,640
Speaker 8: regarding you know, the placement of the letters and the

1797
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 8: you know, the major League Baseball logo on the back

1798
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:16,559
Speaker 8: and all of that. It just seemed like they did

1799
01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 8: way more than they needed to with these uniforms. And

1800
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:22,040
Speaker 8: as someone who was excited to buy a dog or

1801
01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:25,879
Speaker 8: show Ao Tani jersey, I'm kind of questioning that desire

1802
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 8: right now, just because the jerseys just don't look that good.

1803
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:31,120
Speaker 8: And then if they're see through and all, that not

1804
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 8: necessarily something I am interested in wearing. So if they

1805
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:37,920
Speaker 8: can at least get closer to the uniforms they had

1806
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:39,960
Speaker 8: last year, I think that'd be better. If they can

1807
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:44,040
Speaker 8: maybe also incorporate some of the new breathable, you know,

1808
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,799
Speaker 8: dry fit technology that they've incorporated into these new uniforms.

1809
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:49,559
Speaker 7: So at least that's how I feel about it.

1810
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:53,599
Speaker 2: Mark Rams are your thoughts, well, they.

1811
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 12: Talk about uniform things, I can only think of many,

1812
01:38:57,160 --> 01:39:02,320
Speaker 12: many moons ago when the Cubs used to wear thicker uniforms.

1813
01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:05,439
Speaker 12: But then once they start playing at night, they were

1814
01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:09,360
Speaker 12: able to survive the summer days at nighttime because their

1815
01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 12: uniforms are on at night and they change the uniforms.

1816
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:18,400
Speaker 12: But for MLB to mess with the uniforms of the teams,

1817
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:22,880
Speaker 12: it just seems like one more thing they're messing with

1818
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:26,400
Speaker 12: when it comes to the game. Instead of leaving, like Kevin,

1819
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:29,760
Speaker 12: just that leaving certain things alone. Don't mess with the

1820
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:35,599
Speaker 12: uniforms because now since the players shift so much, all

1821
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:38,760
Speaker 12: you have is the uniform to think about. Because the

1822
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 12: players move around so much, quit messing with the game.

1823
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:47,840
Speaker 12: Just leave stuff alone. If it's about fashion or just

1824
01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 12: creating something to put some logo on, just leave it alone.

1825
01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:56,639
Speaker 12: Just put stuff up inside the ballpark. Leave the uniforms alone.

1826
01:39:56,880 --> 01:39:59,240
Speaker 12: You got enough other things to think about.

1827
01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:06,800
Speaker 2: You know what interesting is that obviously game where game jerseys,

1828
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:10,280
Speaker 2: game uniforms, it's a huge business fanatics, Nike, et cetera.

1829
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:13,000
Speaker 2: So by changing them year after year after years they've

1830
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 2: done in the NBA and the NFL, et cetera, et cetera,

1831
01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 2: it creates another market. I think Shay brought us up earlier.

1832
01:40:19,200 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 2: We talked about rushing the court and how players are

1833
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 2: brands now and their assets and so merchandising and major

1834
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 2: I will tell you this. You know it's an interesting viewpoint,

1835
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:32,360
Speaker 2: mark because some of the old uniforms are so classky.

1836
01:40:32,439 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 2: Wonder why they ever changed it, but they do it

1837
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 2: all the time. But Major League Baseball merchandising is so

1838
01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:44,080
Speaker 2: voluminous and so wealthy now that the average Major League

1839
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:46,920
Speaker 2: player gets a check of north to two hundred thousand

1840
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:48,240
Speaker 2: dollars in their share rights.

1841
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:52,559
Speaker 12: Because if the player is someone that everybody likes, then

1842
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:57,719
Speaker 12: MLB finds a way to bring up a new uniform,

1843
01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:01,360
Speaker 12: hoping that all the fans will buy this new uniform,

1844
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:03,800
Speaker 12: which is you know, it's just a money grab, but

1845
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 12: we'll just change it because everybody's gonna want the new one.

1846
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:09,240
Speaker 11: At least some of the kids.

1847
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:12,840
Speaker 12: Are gonna want the latest jersey, whatever color it might be,

1848
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:16,040
Speaker 12: instead of the traditional team color.

1849
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 10: I actually pre ordered, sorry to interrupt to you guys again,

1850
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:24,439
Speaker 10: I actually pre ordered the Dodgers show. Hey O, tawny jersey,

1851
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 10: the one with the red number. So it's the stitching

1852
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 10: and it's the actual jersey. So I'm excited to see

1853
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:30,680
Speaker 10: what it looks like. To be honest, I'm gonna be

1854
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 10: having it. And I think it comes here in May

1855
01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:35,640
Speaker 10: or something like that, because when Kevin brought it up

1856
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 10: that he almost didn't buy it. I mean, I was like,

1857
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 10: I instantly bought it, but when I started hearing Now

1858
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 10: that I'm hearing this, I'm like, oh, like.

1859
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:44,559
Speaker 11: I should have probably waited to buy it.

1860
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:47,400
Speaker 10: But now I'm honestly interested to see it where for myself,

1861
01:41:47,439 --> 01:41:49,960
Speaker 10: see what it looks like. And I'm interested to see

1862
01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 10: even if it translates to because I know, even though

1863
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:57,680
Speaker 10: the stitched ones are a little like they're meant to

1864
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 10: be the exact same as the game warn one, I

1865
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:01,799
Speaker 10: know they're a little bit different.

1866
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:03,559
Speaker 11: So I'm excited to see it.

1867
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:06,800
Speaker 10: I don't know, like seed Through is a little weird

1868
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:09,120
Speaker 10: because I like the heavyweight feel of it. But no,

1869
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:11,760
Speaker 10: Kevin had a great point about not wanting to buy

1870
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:14,320
Speaker 10: the jerseys, and I wonder if more people honestly would

1871
01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:16,800
Speaker 10: have bought the og ones compared to these ones, and

1872
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:18,599
Speaker 10: if it's stopping a lot of people, which I mean

1873
01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:21,679
Speaker 10: it seems like it is because of Kevin, but we'll see.

1874
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:27,840
Speaker 2: Obviously, Yeah, look, things evolved, they change. The only thing

1875
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 2: constant has changed. And one of the one of the

1876
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:32,720
Speaker 2: fun things throughout the area is whenning, certainly in Major

1877
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 2: League Baseball, you have to throwback uniforms on a Sunday

1878
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 2: and then people sell those too. So it's like Mark said,

1879
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 2: it's it's all about the marketing and the marketing dollar.

1880
01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 2: And I guess I'm okay with it. But the story

1881
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:48,640
Speaker 2: that the tipping point of the story for me was

1882
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:52,080
Speaker 2: now they're talking about these being see through. I see

1883
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:54,200
Speaker 2: in air quotes, we'll see what.

1884
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:57,240
Speaker 12: They give a reason for the seed through? Are they

1885
01:42:57,320 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 12: going forward? They want to make people excited?

1886
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:01,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think I think that was an

1887
01:43:01,560 --> 01:43:04,200
Speaker 2: an attendant consequence Mark, that's my that's my knowledge.

1888
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:07,800
Speaker 12: I mean, because somebody had to have some kind of idea, well,

1889
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:08,920
Speaker 12: let's make it sure.

1890
01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 2: Well see that you can see there. That's a whole

1891
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:14,439
Speaker 2: different conversation.

1892
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 12: A whole different conversation, And it's a whole thing about

1893
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:20,559
Speaker 12: what are they going for when they want see through

1894
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:24,040
Speaker 12: and they want athletes that are perfect specimens?

1895
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:25,599
Speaker 7: You know, what are they doing?

1896
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:29,960
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing. Was there an ulterior motive? Their

1897
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 2: their ideology was to make them sleeker, stretchier, better for

1898
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:37,360
Speaker 2: the athlete. You know, things evolve go back to what

1899
01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:41,000
Speaker 2: those you know, uniforms with no belts in the seventies and.

1900
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:43,639
Speaker 13: Everything, exchange players will look like football players.

1901
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:46,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. Again, this is a discussion.

1902
01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:49,000
Speaker 2: It's going to continue through spring training. You'll see it's

1903
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 2: gonna be one of those things going to take out

1904
01:43:50,360 --> 01:43:52,600
Speaker 2: of life of its own. Perhaps it already has, but

1905
01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:54,559
Speaker 2: that doesn't appear to be on the list of what

1906
01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:57,519
Speaker 2: Rob Manfred used to do in his final five years

1907
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:00,519
Speaker 2: as the commissioner. As he now says he will retire

1908
01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:03,559
Speaker 2: in January twenty twenty nine. We'll get to that coming up.

1909
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:06,120

Speaker 7: Of course.

1915
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 8: We had some news take place overnight in Major League Baseball,

1916
01:44:30,200 --> 01:44:34,280
Speaker 8: as ESPN the first to report that free agent Cody

1917
01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:37,880
Speaker 8: Bellinger has agreed to a three year, eighty million dollar

1918
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:43,320
Speaker 8: contract with the Chicago Cubs. As for college hoops, all

Speaker 8: upset number eight, Duke eighty three to seventy nine. However,

1921
01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:52,519
Speaker 8: that wasn't the main story. It came after the game

1922
01:44:52,640 --> 01:44:55,759
Speaker 8: as Blue Devil star Kyle Philipowski suffered a knee injury

1923
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 8: in the collision with one of the fans who was

1924
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:01,320
Speaker 8: among the crowd rushing the court after the upset wins.

1925
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:05,640
Speaker 8: So let's see what the NCAA and various college conferences

1926
01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:10,639
Speaker 8: approach the court storing policies going forward. You gotta remember

1927

01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:43,599
Speaker 8: fourteen minutes of that game. Big matchup in the SEC,

1937
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 8: but it proved to be a laugher. Number seventeen Kentucky

Speaker 2: in January of twenty twenty nine, we'll have a brand

1971
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:37,880
Speaker 2: new edition of the Major League Baseball Commissioner. As it

1972
01:47:37,880 --> 01:47:42,320
Speaker 2: appears that Rob Manfred has made his decision. Fifty nine

1973
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 2: months and he is he gone. And it's been really

1974
01:47:46,479 --> 01:47:50,080
Speaker 2: sort of a tumultuous but interesting and up and down.

1975
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:56,240
Speaker 2: You know, nine years now, I've been commissioner. Obviously, he

1976
01:47:57,280 --> 01:48:02,280
Speaker 2: presided over the transformative rule changes like the pitch. There

1977
01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:06,280
Speaker 2: have been big attendance resurgences following you know, what had

1978
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:10,760
Speaker 2: been declined was he presided over the ninety nine day

1979
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:13,400
Speaker 2: lockout before the players started the twenty twenty two season.

1980
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 2: They did overhaul the minor leagues. He did have to

1981
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:22,759
Speaker 2: deal with the astro cheating scandal from twenty seventeen. People

1982
01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:28,000
Speaker 2: question whether he did any of that. He's been around

1983
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 2: baseball since nineteen ninety eight. He was, you know, a

1984
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 2: labor consul, he was an attorney. But the point is

1985
01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 2: there's some things I think he has to look at

1986
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 2: hard in the next five years. The fact that the

1987
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:44,000
Speaker 2: Ads could never get their stadium in Oakland and now

1988
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 2: they're headed to Las Vegas, and it still feels weird

1989
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:48,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen. They won't play a game here till

1990
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:53,559
Speaker 2: you know twenty twenty eight, and you have to ask yourself,

1991
01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 2: where are the AID is going to play after next year?

1992
01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:59,320
Speaker 2: They'll play in Oakland. You know they're playing their current

1993
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:03,240
Speaker 2: home this season, but then there are many questions between

1994
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 2: twenty five and twenty seven before where the hell they're

1995
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:08,720
Speaker 2: gonna play. I don't see how they don't stay in

1996
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,360
Speaker 2: that market and kiss to make up for three years.

1997
01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:13,600
Speaker 2: It's a major league facility, not a great one, and

1998
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:15,960
Speaker 2: I get it, but you can't go to another city,

1999
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:17,640
Speaker 2: and you can't play in Vegas. It's one hundred and

2000
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 2: eight degrees and the players' union is not going to

2001
01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:22,439
Speaker 2: go for that. There's no dome at the Triple A

2002
01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:26,800
Speaker 2: Stadium here, even though it's beautiful, and it doesn't you know,

2003
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:28,479
Speaker 2: it's not a major league facility, and then it only

2004
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 2: seats a handful of people compared to a major league facility.

2005
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:38,480
Speaker 2: So apparently Tampa Bay and they've played at that same crazy,

2006
01:49:38,560 --> 01:49:44,200
Speaker 2: weird dome since nineteen ninety seven in their inception, and

2007
01:49:44,280 --> 01:49:48,839
Speaker 2: appears the Razors are finalizing specific terms of a stadium

2008
01:49:48,840 --> 01:49:52,200
Speaker 2: that's being playned one point three billion yas. I've already

2009
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:54,519
Speaker 2: told you about that. Manford needs to step in on

2010
01:49:54,560 --> 01:49:57,400
Speaker 2: these issues. Maybe he has, but I don't think he's

2011
01:49:57,439 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 2: been as influential as he could have been. That's just

2012
01:50:00,240 --> 01:50:03,479
Speaker 2: my opinion. Expansion, I think baseball is ready. It was

2013
01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:06,800
Speaker 2: a hot topic. The prospect of expanding to thirty two

2014
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:09,960
Speaker 2: teams has been delayed because of the Oakland and Tampa

2015
01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:14,920
Speaker 2: Bay facility situations. But Manfred should have processes in place.

2016
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:17,280
Speaker 2: I believe Natural is want on a team for a

2017
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:20,400
Speaker 2: long time. I believe Salt Lake City wants a team.

2018
01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:23,799
Speaker 2: These places have coalitions. They don't have that. In Vegas.

2019
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:26,160
Speaker 2: The As showed up on announced hat in hand and

2020
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:29,559
Speaker 2: they're coming here. But I think Salt Lake City natural

2021
01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:33,400
Speaker 2: might have been or Portland. I think baseball. Yes, you

2022
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:36,320
Speaker 2: may think I'm crazy, you know I'm not. They're ready

2023
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:40,920
Speaker 2: for expansion the local media. When you've got the volume

2024
01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:43,799
Speaker 2: of games involved in Major League Baseball, Major League Baseball

2025
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:47,719
Speaker 2: is more exposed than in the league to local media

2026
01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:50,360
Speaker 2: markets going bankrupt. Look what happened to Diamond Sports Group.

2027
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 2: Now Major League Baseball's actively worked to ensure that no

2028
01:50:55,040 --> 01:51:00,439
Speaker 2: game broadcasts are lost to fans. But I would say,

2029
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 2: and they've struck some short term rights deals. But if

2030
01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:07,799
Speaker 2: you're a Potters fan or Diamondbacks fan and other Rockies,

2031
01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:12,160
Speaker 2: you're not happy. And the bigger challenge is how do

2032
01:51:12,200 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 2: you replace regional sports network revenues with cord cutting. Although

2033
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:21,040
Speaker 2: people are still watching and going to Major League Baseball

2034
01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:24,160
Speaker 2: games and revenues are at an all time high, if

2035
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:26,240
Speaker 2: you don't think the the game is healthier, full of crap.

2036
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:28,840
Speaker 2: They said that back in nineteen ninety four it was

2037
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:31,639
Speaker 2: a one billion dollar industry. It was a dying industry, right, sure,

2038
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:34,519
Speaker 2: that I'll come thirty years later. It's a twelve billion

2039
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:39,400
Speaker 2: dollar industry. Really me that now, By the way, I think,

2040
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:45,040
Speaker 2: I believe before Manfred retires, they're gonna have to renegotiate

2041
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:46,880
Speaker 2: their national media right. So they have a current rights

2042
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:51,240
Speaker 2: deal with Fox, ESPN and Warner Brothers and Discovery. It's

2043
01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:54,680
Speaker 2: collectively worth about twelve million dollars. It all expires at

2044
01:51:54,680 --> 01:51:58,880
Speaker 2: the end of the twenty twenty eight season, So if

2045
01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:02,639
Speaker 2: Manfred retires in January twenty twenty nine, he'll be presiding

2046
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:06,240
Speaker 2: over what will need to be a new national media

2047
01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:11,559
Speaker 2: rights deal. So those same three companies again, Fox, ESPN,

2048
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:15,320
Speaker 2: and Warner Brothers. I'm now part of this new I

2049
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 2: guess you would call it dramatic. It was announced a

2050
01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:21,000
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago the sports oriented streaming services. So

2051
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:24,479
Speaker 2: you see other leagues in recent years achieve pretty big

2052
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:28,240
Speaker 2: increases for their national rights. Rob Manfred's gonna be under

2053
01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:33,640
Speaker 2: pressure to do the same thing for Major League Baseball

2054
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:36,880
Speaker 2: labor and economics. You can't discount that either. There's gonna

2055
01:52:36,880 --> 01:52:40,719
Speaker 2: be another headbutting coming up. I think in twenty twenty six,

2056
01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:43,160
Speaker 2: you sell what happened during the labor talks at twenty

2057
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:45,000
Speaker 2: twenty one, twenty twenty two, there was a ninety nine

2058
01:52:45,080 --> 01:52:48,280
Speaker 2: day lockout. It got very ugly. It really conjured up

2059
01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:54,040
Speaker 2: images of what happened in nineteen ninety four when the

2060
01:52:54,120 --> 01:52:57,559
Speaker 2: players canceled the World Series. And the reason was there

2061
01:52:57,560 --> 01:53:03,360
Speaker 2: was a similarity because the players brought the receipts and

2062
01:53:03,439 --> 01:53:07,400
Speaker 2: had the numbers on their side, whereby the revenues the

2063
01:53:07,439 --> 01:53:12,920
Speaker 2: increasing revenues in Major League Baseball, salary growth had not

2064
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:16,000
Speaker 2: kept up with the increasing revenues, and they had the

2065
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:17,559
Speaker 2: owners dead the right so well, they ended up getting

2066
01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:21,640
Speaker 2: it resolved. But these same poor economic issues are going

2067
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:24,000
Speaker 2: to rise again to the forefront because the current CBA

2068
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 2: expires after the twenty twenty sixth season. Right, how do

2069
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:33,400
Speaker 2: you really explain if your commissioner presiding over this, You've

2070
01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:37,160
Speaker 2: got a two hundred and forty five dollars gap between

2071
01:53:37,200 --> 01:53:41,320
Speaker 2: the largest and smallest team payils. That's sixty three percent

2072
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:45,679
Speaker 2: higher than the same gap just five years ago. Why

2073
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:48,040
Speaker 2: is that there's more money in the game than ever?

2074
01:53:48,360 --> 01:53:51,759
Speaker 2: By the way, owners want a salary cap, they've wanted

2075
01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:54,800
Speaker 2: one for since the seventies. They'll never get it. The

2076
01:53:54,840 --> 01:53:58,160
Speaker 2: players will walk off, they will strike, they will go away,

2077
01:53:58,439 --> 01:53:59,800
Speaker 2: they will do whatever the hell they need to do

2078
01:53:59,840 --> 01:54:05,120
Speaker 2: to avoided sour cap. That ain't happening, But someone should

2079
01:54:05,280 --> 01:54:08,360
Speaker 2: explain why it's become such haves and have not to

2080
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:11,240
Speaker 2: probably just paying. You can't buy love in a Major

2081
01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:15,559
Speaker 2: League baseball just paying for a team. I mean, look

2082
01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:18,240
Speaker 2: at the Yankees, you look at the top Perils, the Oriols, Dodgers.

2083
01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 2: They're not winning. It's no guarantee, but you owe it

2084
01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:24,160
Speaker 2: to your fan base to put the best product on

2085
01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:28,120
Speaker 2: the field if possible. So when you have a spread

2086
01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:30,960
Speaker 2: of two hundred and forty five million dollars between the

2087
01:54:31,080 --> 01:54:34,720
Speaker 2: largest and smallest team perils in twenty twenty four, and

2088
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:38,560
Speaker 2: that's to give that some comparisons one hundred and fifty

2089
01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:41,640
Speaker 2: million five years ago, something is that that's as wrong

2090
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:44,160
Speaker 2: as ran on opening Day. See what I did there.

2091
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:50,440
Speaker 2: By the way, the Ools are being sold. The Baltimore

2092
01:54:50,440 --> 01:54:55,200
Speaker 2: Ools were sold to a private equity billionaire. There's also

2093
01:54:55,240 --> 01:55:00,879
Speaker 2: potential sale of the Washington Nationals being sold. Manfred recently

2094
01:55:00,880 --> 01:55:04,120
Speaker 2: suggests that the oil sale could prompt a Burger resolution

2095
01:55:04,240 --> 01:55:07,839
Speaker 2: to what you are calling the mid Atlantic Sports network increase.

2096
01:55:08,760 --> 01:55:13,040
Speaker 2: So then there's another TV issue that he's going to

2097
01:55:13,120 --> 01:55:17,800
Speaker 2: have to deal with. Like any other league commissioner, Rob

2098
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:22,080
Speaker 2: Manfred will always face an existential challenge of making the

2099
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:28,320
Speaker 2: next generation of fans prevalent as every other generation has

2100
01:55:28,360 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 2: done in the past one hundred years. There was actually

2101
01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:35,360
Speaker 2: a lot of progress on that. In twenty twenty three,

2102
01:55:36,040 --> 01:55:40,720
Speaker 2: the median age of Major League Baseball ticket buyers dropped

2103
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:48,000
Speaker 2: by six years compared to twenty nineteen. Now, remember, baseball

2104
01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:53,280
Speaker 2: is a game that's learned, it's handed down from fotherers' sons.

2105
01:55:53,600 --> 01:55:57,120
Speaker 2: There's no question it is the pastime because it's played

2106
01:55:57,120 --> 01:56:00,960
Speaker 2: every night you pass the time. There's it's a situation

2107
01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:06,120
Speaker 2: where kids grow up playing it. There's a Walter Mitty

2108
01:56:06,240 --> 01:56:08,400
Speaker 2: aspect to it. There's more kids to play baseball than

2109
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:11,600
Speaker 2: any other sport. Drive around you see the youth leagues

2110
01:56:11,720 --> 01:56:17,320
Speaker 2: fail are full high schools, summer leagues, College baseball is

2111
01:56:17,320 --> 01:56:21,720
Speaker 2: more exciting and prevalent and accessible than ever with TV contracts.

2112
01:56:22,720 --> 01:56:25,920
Speaker 2: So the truth of the matter is that I think

2113
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 2: this always seems to happen organically. All Right, You've got

2114
01:56:30,560 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 2: kids out there, I bet they're playing Little League. You've

2115
01:56:33,840 --> 01:56:36,720
Speaker 2: got grandkids out there, I bet you're playing little league

2116
01:56:37,200 --> 01:56:40,560
Speaker 2: and your son that you taught to play baseball, or

2117
01:56:40,560 --> 01:56:42,600
Speaker 2: you're not helping your son teach your grandson how to

2118
01:56:42,640 --> 01:56:46,280
Speaker 2: play baseball or even granddaughter. That's a fact. And you

2119
01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:48,560
Speaker 2: take them to the ballpark and the minute they walk

2120
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:50,360
Speaker 2: in and see the orange seats in the green field

2121
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:52,840
Speaker 2: and the blue sky, they're hooked. Don't act like they're not.

2122
01:56:54,280 --> 01:56:57,320
Speaker 2: So that's one area I don't think Manfred has to

2123
01:56:57,320 --> 01:57:00,360
Speaker 2: be as concerned about as some people might say. But

2124
01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:04,640
Speaker 2: it's interesting because I will be curious to see who

2125
01:57:04,720 --> 01:57:08,360
Speaker 2: will succeed Rob Manfred. Owners will ultimately make the call

2126
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:11,960
Speaker 2: the next commissioner. You've got a couple names, Bannon Abount,

2127
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:14,200
Speaker 2: Do you have a deputy commissioner, Dan Halem mill Garden.

2128
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:17,520
Speaker 2: I know people have clamored for Bob Costis and ain't

2129
01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:20,240
Speaker 2: gonna happen. I like Bob Costas, but ain't gonna happen.

2130
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:23,440
Speaker 2: But I think people don't forget spent ten years August

2131
01:57:23,480 --> 01:57:26,520
Speaker 2: to twenty fourteen when Manfred was elected commissioner. It was

2132
01:57:26,520 --> 01:57:31,680
Speaker 2: a very messy process and there were several owner votes

2133
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:37,000
Speaker 2: required to produce sufficient support, and more importantly, none of

2134
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:41,080
Speaker 2: Rob Manfred's recent commissioner. Processors had a clean exit the

2135
01:57:41,160 --> 01:57:44,600
Speaker 2: all delayed retirement. Some of the owners wanted them monstered,

2136
01:57:45,080 --> 01:57:49,120
Speaker 2: one died suddenly, one had collusion to suppressed player salaries.

2137
01:57:49,960 --> 01:57:52,200
Speaker 2: And so it doesn't always end great for the Major

2138
01:57:52,280 --> 01:57:55,080
Speaker 2: League Baseball commissioner. And he'll be seventy at the end

2139
01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:59,240
Speaker 2: of his contract term and I think he's losing his

2140
01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:00,880
Speaker 2: luster for it now. He says, you can only have

2141
01:58:00,920 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 2: so much fun in one lifetime. He said that tongue

2142
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:07,280
Speaker 2: in cheek. So listen, baseball is back, spring training is here.

2143
01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:10,440
Speaker 2: Rob Manfredd has a lot to do, in my opinion,

2144
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:13,720
Speaker 2: in the next five years to wind this down in

2145
01:58:13,760 --> 01:58:17,600
Speaker 2: a way that keeps Major League Baseball as America's past.

2146
01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:19,880
Speaker 2: Time coming up? What kind of brand new fool of you?

Speaker 2: pay attention here on the Bernie Fradle Show, so is

2158
01:58:56,800 --> 01:59:00,160
Speaker 2: my crew, and around this great country of ours, from

2159
01:59:00,200 --> 01:59:03,760
Speaker 2: sea to Shining Sea and around the globe, people do

2160
01:59:03,840 --> 01:59:07,200
Speaker 2: things on a daily basis that catch your attention. Well. See,

2161
01:59:07,280 --> 01:59:13,600
Speaker 2: sometimes they're just goofy, oddball, fun loving things, and sometimes

2162
01:59:13,600 --> 01:59:17,839
Speaker 2: they're more serious. Sometimes they're dangerous. Sometimes they even involve

2163
01:59:18,200 --> 01:59:22,200
Speaker 2: breaking the law. But any way you slice it, any way,

2164
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:25,160
Speaker 2: you characterize it, any way you describe these events that

2165
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 2: people engage in on a daily basis from around the world,

2166
01:59:28,920 --> 01:59:32,200
Speaker 2: any way you look at it, they all leave us

2167
01:59:32,400 --> 01:59:36,320
Speaker 2: scratching our head and asking ourselves, what kind of brand

2168
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:37,120
Speaker 2: new fool are you?

2169
01:59:40,880 --> 01:59:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2170
01:59:41,160 --> 01:59:47,400
Speaker 2: Well, tonight's escapade takes us to Newport News, Virginia, and

2171
01:59:47,440 --> 01:59:51,640
Speaker 2: this story begins says really something out of a movie.

2172
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:54,440
Speaker 2: If you ever saw The Shawshank Redemption or of the

2173
01:59:54,440 --> 02:00:01,920
Speaker 2: Alzheimers better get Busy Living or busy dying? Well, two inmates,

2174
02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:06,640
Speaker 2: According to the Newport News Sheriff's Office, says that two

2175
02:00:06,760 --> 02:00:11,040
Speaker 2: inmates tunneled a hole in a wall cell to escape

2176
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:15,880
Speaker 2: from the city jail Monday evening, and they did it

2177
02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:19,480
Speaker 2: by using a toothbrush and a metal object to make

2178
02:00:19,520 --> 02:00:24,560
Speaker 2: the hole. According to the Sheriff's police, two gentlemen Arlee

2179
02:00:24,640 --> 02:00:28,000
Speaker 2: Nemo John Garza. Somehow they were smart enough. I guess

2180
02:00:28,040 --> 02:00:29,880
Speaker 2: you want to call it that they were able to

2181
02:00:29,920 --> 02:00:35,120
Speaker 2: exploit a construction design weakness, as it was described, this

2182
02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:38,520
Speaker 2: construction weakness in the building, and so the toothbrush and

2183
02:00:38,600 --> 02:00:42,280
Speaker 2: metal object allowed them to escape. Once they were outside,

2184
02:00:42,920 --> 02:00:46,480
Speaker 2: they scaled a security wall, a bata bing, bought a boom,

2185
02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:49,520
Speaker 2: they got the hell out of dodge. Well, you know,

2186
02:00:49,600 --> 02:00:53,480
Speaker 2: the jail is a minimum security facility, so maybe it's

2187
02:00:53,480 --> 02:00:57,200
Speaker 2: not as difficult to say escaping from Alcatraz, but regardless

2188
02:00:57,240 --> 02:00:59,760
Speaker 2: they did it. Here is where the story takes a

2189
02:00:59,800 --> 02:01:04,680
Speaker 2: left turn, as they usually do. First of all, when

2190
02:01:04,720 --> 02:01:08,680
Speaker 2: they took roll later that morning, they were discovered missing

2191
02:01:08,760 --> 02:01:11,800
Speaker 2: during a routine headcount. But all of a sudden, a

2192
02:01:11,880 --> 02:01:15,520
Speaker 2: tip from the public led police to where they were

2193
02:01:16,200 --> 02:01:21,000
Speaker 2: three am Tuesday morning. You see, I gotta believe escaping

2194
02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:26,040
Speaker 2: from jail. We'll work up an appetite right, gonna leave

2195
02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:29,560
Speaker 2: you a little hungry. Hell, you might even want some breakfast.

2196
02:01:30,120 --> 02:01:32,720
Speaker 2: You might want moons over Miami. You might even want

2197
02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:36,640
Speaker 2: a rooty too dy, fresh and fruity breakfast. YEP. A

2198
02:01:36,680 --> 02:01:40,240
Speaker 2: tip just like that led police to an ihop in Hampton, Virginia,

2199
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:46,440
Speaker 2: where the two were reportedly having breakfast Tuesday morning. The

2200
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:52,480
Speaker 2: two were taken into custody without incident. Now all they

2201
02:01:52,560 --> 02:01:55,320
Speaker 2: said the police. She says, by the grace of God,

2202
02:01:55,320 --> 02:01:57,120
Speaker 2: I'm glad no one was eager. We were able to

2203
02:01:57,120 --> 02:02:00,520
Speaker 2: locate him and get him back to custody. One of

2204
02:02:00,560 --> 02:02:03,880
Speaker 2: them had been in custody since December on several chargers,

2205
02:02:04,320 --> 02:02:08,520
Speaker 2: including probation violations. The other had been in custody since October,

2206
02:02:08,920 --> 02:02:13,280
Speaker 2: including charges like credit card fraud. And the biggest takeaway

2207
02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:17,520
Speaker 2: is now the Sheriff's offices engineers are reviewing the building

2208
02:02:17,560 --> 02:02:20,840
Speaker 2: to find any weaknesses and researching ways that they can

2209
02:02:20,880 --> 02:02:23,960
Speaker 2: fix them. Good news is Garza and Nemo are both

2210
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,560
Speaker 2: back in custody. But if they would have high tailed

2211
02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:28,960
Speaker 2: it and maybe going to it. Not that I'm into

2212
02:02:28,960 --> 02:02:31,320
Speaker 2: giving criminals advice, We don't do that. On the Bernie

2213
02:02:31,320 --> 02:02:34,800
Speaker 2: Fredericks sow it's one of our policies. Not that you know,

2214
02:02:34,880 --> 02:02:36,560
Speaker 2: I'm me into giving advice, but maybe if they'd have

2215
02:02:36,560 --> 02:02:38,680
Speaker 2: waited till they got across state lines or got across

2216
02:02:38,680 --> 02:02:41,560
Speaker 2: somewhere else to go to ihop to have their favorite breakfast,

2217
02:02:42,040 --> 02:02:45,160
Speaker 2: they might still be on the loose. That is why

2218
02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:48,680
Speaker 2: this segment is called what kind of brand new fool?

2219
02:02:48,680 --> 02:02:51,720
Speaker 2: Are you? All right? Shay? You've done this many times before?

2220
02:02:51,760 --> 02:02:52,680
Speaker 2: What you got for us tonight?

2221
02:02:53,440 --> 02:02:55,760
Speaker 10: Of course? And as always, you know where I like

2222
02:02:55,800 --> 02:02:59,200
Speaker 10: to go. We're going back to Florida. Ah. I mean,

2223
02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:02,000
Speaker 10: too many stories are coming out of there, sure, but

2224
02:03:02,040 --> 02:03:05,320
Speaker 10: this one's a little different. So A man was arrested

2225
02:03:05,360 --> 02:03:08,520
Speaker 10: this month in Florida when he was spotted allegedly using

2226
02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:11,640
Speaker 10: his Ram pickup truck as a surfboard on a closed beach.

2227
02:03:12,560 --> 02:03:15,800
Speaker 10: The man accessed the area without paying the proper tolls

2228
02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:17,840
Speaker 10: and drove around a closed gate with a do not

2229
02:03:18,080 --> 02:03:22,600
Speaker 10: enter sign, Police said. The Velujah County Sheriff's Office arrested

2230
02:03:22,720 --> 02:03:28,560
Speaker 10: Jason I might butcher this last name, brazuzik Kiwowski on

2231
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:33,240
Speaker 10: New Smyrna Beach when they spotted his pickup drop driving

2232
02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:35,920
Speaker 10: up and down the sand and into the water. At

2233
02:03:35,960 --> 02:03:39,120
Speaker 10: times the waves were washing over the roof of the truck. However,

2234
02:03:39,160 --> 02:03:42,880
Speaker 10: this did not seem to deter Jason, as he allegedly

2235
02:03:42,920 --> 02:03:47,240
Speaker 10: continued to drive his truck into the ocean. The real kicker, though,

2236
02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:50,280
Speaker 10: is that Jason seemed to blame his truck for this situation.

2237
02:03:50,360 --> 02:03:52,600
Speaker 10: When the police pulled him over. He didn't say that

2238
02:03:52,640 --> 02:03:55,520
Speaker 10: he just didn't see the sign or make a similar excuse. Instead,

2239
02:03:55,600 --> 02:04:00,600
Speaker 10: bodycam video shows him he complained about his truck's abilities, saying,

2240
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:03,720
Speaker 10: not my fault, the truck don't surf.

2241
02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:07,400
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's pretty good man.

2242
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:07,960
Speaker 11: Yeah.

2243
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:10,280
Speaker 10: So Jason was charged with a failure to pay a

2244
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:14,440
Speaker 10: vehicle OXSS fee and transport it to Ilusha County Branch jail,

2245
02:04:14,440 --> 02:04:16,320
Speaker 10: and he was held there for only a two hundred

2246
02:04:16,360 --> 02:04:19,879
Speaker 10: dollars bond. But you know what that leads me to say, Jason,

2247
02:04:19,960 --> 02:04:20,880
Speaker 10: what kind of fool are you?

2248
02:04:21,280 --> 02:04:24,160
Speaker 2: There? You go? Nicely done, good story there, all right?

2249
02:04:24,240 --> 02:04:27,520
Speaker 2: The chef Kevin Wired, among as many duties, he also

2250
02:04:27,560 --> 02:04:29,480
Speaker 2: participates in what kind of brand new fool are you?

2251
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:30,280
Speaker 7: All right?

2252
02:04:30,320 --> 02:04:35,120
Speaker 8: So we go to Missouri West Plains to be exact,

2253
02:04:35,200 --> 02:04:37,400
Speaker 8: where a man appeared to try and cash in on

2254
02:04:37,440 --> 02:04:41,960
Speaker 8: an insurance policy by staging a bloody farm equipment accident.

2255
02:04:44,040 --> 02:04:45,720
Speaker 2: Oh my god, staging it.

2256
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:46,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, he staged it.

2257
02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:51,240
Speaker 8: So the Howell County Serfs Office set out a relatively

2258
02:04:51,280 --> 02:04:54,240
Speaker 8: vague press release to local media about a situation evolving

2259
02:04:54,280 --> 02:04:56,680
Speaker 8: a man in Willow Springs who had lost his feet

2260
02:04:56,680 --> 02:04:59,480
Speaker 8: in an apparent staged accident with a brushhog, which is

2261
02:04:59,480 --> 02:05:04,920
Speaker 8: a rotary vdor often attached to a tractor. The case,

2262
02:05:05,040 --> 02:05:09,000
Speaker 8: what's excusing me? When the call came into emergency responders,

2263
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:11,240
Speaker 8: it was described as involving a man whose feet were

2264
02:05:11,280 --> 02:05:12,760
Speaker 8: severed while brush hogging.

2265
02:05:13,520 --> 02:05:16,000
Speaker 7: However hogging, Yeah, I guess' track.

2266
02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:18,120
Speaker 2: I'm sorry man, I asked, what the hell brush higging?

2267
02:05:18,800 --> 02:05:21,280
Speaker 8: It's worked with a tractor somehow. I'm guessing cutting bars

2268
02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 8: smart anyway. Uh, But however, it was a parent according

2269
02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:29,560
Speaker 8: to police at the incident was staged. The feet were

2270
02:05:29,640 --> 02:05:34,000
Speaker 8: freshly severed. That actually did happen, however, he said. The

2271
02:05:34,040 --> 02:05:37,080
Speaker 8: man was in his sixties, police did, and was a

2272
02:05:37,160 --> 02:05:41,880
Speaker 8: known paraplegic in his lower extremities, so authorities were immediately

2273
02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:44,800
Speaker 8: curious about the tourniquits on his legs and who put

2274
02:05:44,800 --> 02:05:47,360
Speaker 8: them there. In the immediate aftermath of the alleged incident.

2275
02:05:47,480 --> 02:05:51,440
Speaker 8: So the man who was not being identified, apparently had

2276
02:05:51,480 --> 02:05:54,120
Speaker 8: some help from a man from Florida who made the

2277
02:05:54,120 --> 02:05:56,200
Speaker 8: trip to the small Ozark's town to cut off the

2278
02:05:56,200 --> 02:05:59,160
Speaker 8: man's legs with a hatchet, executing an a legend plan

2279
02:05:59,240 --> 02:06:02,040
Speaker 8: to commit it surance fraud. The wounds were not very convincing,

2280
02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:05,200
Speaker 8: the police said, cuts that were much too clean to

2281
02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:08,360
Speaker 8: have been done by a brush log. So as the

2282
02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:11,680
Speaker 8: investigation continued, investigators determined the man was attempting to get

2283
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:13,920
Speaker 8: money from an insurance claim, and since he never formally

2284
02:06:13,960 --> 02:06:17,360
Speaker 8: filed the false claim, they actually did not press charges.

2285
02:06:17,400 --> 02:06:22,920
Speaker 8: But still a very interesting incident. So the question was

2286
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:25,960
Speaker 8: where did his feet end up? Police said, A couple

2287
02:06:26,040 --> 02:06:27,760
Speaker 8: days later, we got a call from a relative that

2288
02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:30,560
Speaker 8: found them in a bucket, obscured by tires. So they

2289
02:06:30,560 --> 02:06:33,720
Speaker 8: went and got them. So, unidentified man in Missouri, what

2290
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:34,680
Speaker 8: kind of brand new fooler?

2291

Speaker 2: beauty all right, good stuff tonight? And what part of

2293
02:06:42,520 --> 02:06:44,160
Speaker 2: the country was this? I think you said, was it Missouri?

2294
02:06:44,280 --> 02:06:47,240
Speaker 7: Yes, Missouri, he's the Ozarks region.

2295
02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:51,240
Speaker 2: Oh, the Ozarks. I don't know if you guys saw Ozark.

2296
02:06:51,320 --> 02:06:54,680

2297
02:06:55,440 --> 02:06:58,080
Speaker 2: but I agree. Sorry. From Missouri to Florida to do

2298

Speaker 2: Port News, Virginia once again another rousing edition of what

2299
02:07:03,800 --> 02:07:06,440
Speaker 2: kind of brand New Fool You, which now enables us

2300
02:07:06,440 --> 02:07:11,720
Speaker 2: to segue into the bit we lovingly referred to as

2301
02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:23,400
Speaker 2: what my name? And he we go? So, Victor Winmnyama

2302
02:07:23,480 --> 02:07:27,000
Speaker 2: is blocking a lot of shots this year, but I

2303
02:07:27,080 --> 02:07:31,920
Speaker 2: actually hold the record for block shots average per game

2304
02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:37,080
Speaker 2: for an NBA rookie Shane Mogenar what my name.

2305
02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:41,040
Speaker 11: A rookie? Okay, let me think.

2306

Speaker 3: Yeah.

2308
02:07:48,360 --> 02:07:51,040
Speaker 2: The idea is average block shots forget anything. The average

2309
02:07:51,080 --> 02:07:54,240
Speaker 2: like almost six blocks per game is crazy? Yeah?

2310
02:07:54,280 --> 02:07:56,000

02:08:21,760 --> 02:08:24,600
Speaker 2: week because I talked about earlier. Now I'm the head

2321
02:08:24,640 --> 02:08:27,120
Speaker 2: coach of the college that will have more players at

2322
02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:31,760

Speaker 8: What my name head coach with more players at the

2324
02:08:34,400 --> 02:08:36,720
Speaker 8: combine than any other school?

2325
02:08:37,080 --> 02:08:39,919
Speaker 7: I am going to guess Jim Harbaugh.

2326
02:08:40,280 --> 02:08:43,080
Speaker 2: Jim harbaughd is you guys are off? Not fire tonight?

2327
02:08:44,840 --> 02:08:50,640
Speaker 2: Two four to two. Now, with the NFL Draft around

2328
02:08:50,640 --> 02:08:54,320
Speaker 2: the corner, much will be made around first round players selected,

2329
02:08:55,240 --> 02:08:57,000
Speaker 2: but in the history of the NFL, there have been

2330
02:08:57,040 --> 02:09:00,200
Speaker 2: plenty of second round players that have really had a

2331
02:09:00,280 --> 02:09:02,920
Speaker 2: name from themself. As a matter of fact, as a

2332
02:09:02,960 --> 02:09:06,919
Speaker 2: second round draft choice, I have rushed for more yards

2333
02:09:07,080 --> 02:09:10,200
Speaker 2: than any NFL running back in history that was drafted

2334
02:09:10,240 --> 02:09:13,200
Speaker 2: in the second round. Mark Ramsey, what' my name.

2335
02:09:15,760 --> 02:09:18,080
Speaker 13: Did he play for? I don't know if he was

2336
02:09:18,080 --> 02:09:19,120
Speaker 13: gonna say Davis.

2337
02:09:18,840 --> 02:09:19,600
Speaker 11: Who used to play for?

2338
02:09:19,760 --> 02:09:19,960
Speaker 3: Though?

2339
02:09:20,040 --> 02:09:22,640
Speaker 2: Or you're thinking of Trell Davis? Yeah, yeah, I love true.

2340
02:09:22,640 --> 02:09:24,360
Speaker 2: He was tremendous with Denver. I think he got drafted

2341
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:26,640
Speaker 2: like in the sixth or seventh round, but not a

2342
02:09:26,680 --> 02:09:29,440
Speaker 2: bad yes. Okay, So as a second round draft choice

2343
02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:32,400
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, I've rushed for more yards

2344
02:09:32,440 --> 02:09:34,560
Speaker 2: than any other NFL running back in history. That was

2345
02:09:34,640 --> 02:09:37,720
Speaker 2: drafted in the second round. Shane Mognguard, What my name?

2346
02:09:38,960 --> 02:09:39,360
Speaker 11: I don't know.

2347
02:09:39,880 --> 02:09:41,400
Speaker 10: I don't know if this is a newer guy. But

2348
02:09:42,760 --> 02:09:44,960
Speaker 10: Jamiir Gibbs was drafted in the second round, right, I

2349
02:09:44,960 --> 02:09:46,760
Speaker 10: think so Jamier Gibbs, Well.

2350
02:09:46,760 --> 02:09:48,800
Speaker 2: Jamia Gibbs is a good guess and he's a stud.

2351
02:09:49,160 --> 02:09:52,000
Speaker 2: But it's more of a career. It's more of a

2352
02:09:52,040 --> 02:09:55,160
Speaker 2: career question work, Okay, all right, so a second round

2353
02:09:55,240 --> 02:09:57,680
Speaker 2: draft choice. I have rushed for more yards in any

2354
02:09:57,960 --> 02:10:01,240
Speaker 2: NFL running back in history drafted in the second round.

2355
02:10:01,320 --> 02:10:02,320
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyre, what my name?

2356
02:10:02,360 --> 02:10:04,680
Speaker 8: I have to guess. Who's actually a second round running back?

2357
02:10:04,840 --> 02:10:08,360
Speaker 8: Is the question? I mean, I'm just gonna go with

2358

Speaker 8: the all time leader, Edmond Smith. I don't know where

Speaker 8: he was drafted.

2360
02:10:10,960 --> 02:10:13,360
Speaker 2: He was drafted really high out of Florida. He might

2361
02:10:13,360 --> 02:10:14,960
Speaker 2: have been I don't think he was number one. It

Speaker 8: points from Jalen Brown. Timberwolves over the Brooklyn Nets one

2576
02:21:54,879 --> 02:21:57,560
Speaker 8: on one eighty six. The Magic beat the Detroit Pistons

2577
02:21:57,600 --> 02:22:01,480
Speaker 8: won twelve one oh nine. And in college football, Eric

2578
02:22:01,480 --> 02:22:05,440
Speaker 8: Bienemy gonna be UCLA's new offensive coordinator. He's been hired

2579
02:22:05,440 --> 02:22:08,240
Speaker 8: by their new head coach, the Sean Foster.

2580
02:22:08,440 --> 02:22:11,320
Speaker 2: Back to you worry all right, thanks good stuff tonight, chef.

2581
02:22:12,120 --> 02:22:14,400
Speaker 2: All right, this time every week we bring you the

2582
02:22:14,440 --> 02:22:16,520
Speaker 2: news on and off the field in season off season.

2583
02:22:16,560 --> 02:22:19,800
Speaker 2: But it's back more bigger than bigger than ever. Terrible

2584
02:22:19,840 --> 02:22:23,920
Speaker 2: English there, it's back bigger than ever. Christophets World of Soccer.

2585
02:22:24,760 --> 02:22:32,760
Speaker 7: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes.

2586
02:22:33,920 --> 02:22:42,280
Speaker 1: The international drama him. It's all here in this report

2587
02:22:42,600 --> 02:22:44,039
Speaker 1: from the world of soccer.

2588
02:22:44,280 --> 02:22:44,879
Speaker 7: Well Birdie.

2589
02:22:44,959 --> 02:22:48,279
Speaker 14: The MLS is back, kicking off here this past Wednesday,

2590
02:22:48,360 --> 02:22:53,000
Speaker 14: inter Miami and Real Salt Lake taking on what is

2591
02:22:53,040 --> 02:22:56,039
Speaker 14: the start of the twenty twenty four season for a

2592
02:22:56,160 --> 02:23:00,840
Speaker 14: league still hoping to make inroads in the American sports landscape,

2593
02:23:00,959 --> 02:23:03,120
Speaker 14: and there's a lot to be said about the questions

2594
02:23:03,120 --> 02:23:06,680
Speaker 14: of can they actually do it? Rewind about a year

2595
02:23:06,720 --> 02:23:10,760
Speaker 14: when MLS brought over Leonel Messi mid season, biggest star

2596
02:23:10,840 --> 02:23:13,160
Speaker 14: on the planet, with hopes that he would be the

2597
02:23:13,160 --> 02:23:14,520
Speaker 14: one to really put a.

2598
02:23:14,440 --> 02:23:15,680
Speaker 7: Spark to things.

2599
02:23:16,040 --> 02:23:19,280
Speaker 14: Well, MLS being what it was, was not really the

2600
02:23:19,320 --> 02:23:22,640
Speaker 14: one that really smacked into the radar, and indeed Inter

2601
02:23:22,760 --> 02:23:25,200
Speaker 14: Miami fell short of the playoffs. They were in a

2602
02:23:25,280 --> 02:23:28,720
Speaker 14: very bad spot before Leonel Messi could play, and Lionel

2603
02:23:28,800 --> 02:23:32,000
Speaker 14: Messi missed time himself, and it ended up with their

2604
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:35,439
Speaker 14: biggest star their biggest gamble, a gamble the league itself

2605
02:23:35,560 --> 02:23:38,640
Speaker 14: took that. The league itself helped Enter Miami to land

2606
02:23:39,040 --> 02:23:43,600
Speaker 14: Leonel Messi. Their playoffs were bereft without it, and interest

2607
02:23:43,680 --> 02:23:46,760
Speaker 14: dulled and wane. Even when Leonel Messi was here. Interest

2608
02:23:46,879 --> 02:23:49,760
Speaker 14: seemed to be dulling and waning, and the question is

2609
02:23:50,080 --> 02:23:53,080
Speaker 14: can MLS keep this up. It is the second year

2610
02:23:53,120 --> 02:23:55,480
Speaker 14: of Leonel Messi. You don't know how many more you're

2611
02:23:55,520 --> 02:23:57,560
Speaker 14: going to really get with him at the end of

2612
02:23:57,560 --> 02:24:00,320
Speaker 14: the day. And the whole point of Lionel Messi was

2613
02:24:00,360 --> 02:24:04,240
Speaker 14: to bring prestige and eyeballs and attention to the North

2614
02:24:04,280 --> 02:24:07,200
Speaker 14: American League, that they could be up there and they

2615
02:24:07,240 --> 02:24:10,199
Speaker 14: could hang tough with with any of the top leagues

2616
02:24:10,200 --> 02:24:12,360
Speaker 14: in the world, maybe not the top five of UEFA,

2617
02:24:12,440 --> 02:24:15,840
Speaker 14: but that they would at least be able to earn respects,

2618
02:24:15,879 --> 02:24:19,000
Speaker 14: that this is a destination, not a retirement league, not

2619
02:24:19,120 --> 02:24:21,320
Speaker 14: a place guys come to at the end.

2620
02:24:21,160 --> 02:24:22,000
Speaker 2: Of their careers.

2621
02:24:22,560 --> 02:24:25,760
Speaker 7: Has it worked We're about to find out this year.

2622
02:24:26,400 --> 02:24:29,240
Speaker 14: Now the deal continues with Apple TV, with the MLS

2623
02:24:29,280 --> 02:24:31,879
Speaker 14: season past, where we get to see a lot of

2624
02:24:31,920 --> 02:24:35,600
Speaker 14: these matches, but more and more it becomes an insular thing.

2625
02:24:35,640 --> 02:24:37,520
Speaker 14: We got news that t Mobile, which hands out free

2626
02:24:37,640 --> 02:24:40,760
Speaker 14: MLS season pass usually in the past years, it decided

2627
02:24:40,760 --> 02:24:43,360
Speaker 14: that they will not be doing it this year. The

2628
02:24:43,480 --> 02:24:46,440
Speaker 14: MLS Season Pass continues to be more and more exclusive

2629
02:24:46,879 --> 02:24:50,360
Speaker 14: and less about bringing access and eyeballs to this game.

2630
02:24:50,440 --> 02:24:53,879
Speaker 14: Even as the terrestrial footprint of MLS continues to retreat

2631
02:24:54,000 --> 02:24:58,720
Speaker 14: further and further off broadcast television, it is still fairly

2632
02:24:58,840 --> 02:25:01,400
Speaker 14: cheap for the season, about ninety nine dollars for the season,

2633
02:25:01,480 --> 02:25:04,400
Speaker 14: or about fifteen dollars a month. But it continues to

2634
02:25:04,520 --> 02:25:08,280
Speaker 14: be the baffling issue of streaming in an age where yes,

2635
02:25:08,360 --> 02:25:11,959
Speaker 14: people do like streaming, but does streaming actually help you

2636
02:25:12,040 --> 02:25:15,520
Speaker 14: with the access to a sport. At the same time,

2637
02:25:15,640 --> 02:25:18,240
Speaker 14: MLS is grappling with the fact that Lionel Messi is

2638
02:25:18,280 --> 02:25:20,480
Speaker 14: the star they are trying to sell to the detriment

2639
02:25:20,520 --> 02:25:24,400
Speaker 14: of everything else, and it really shows. We discussed previously

2640
02:25:24,440 --> 02:25:29,120
Speaker 14: Bernie the incident with MLS and the New York Red

2641
02:25:29,200 --> 02:25:31,480
Speaker 14: Bulls about whether or not they'd be able to offer

2642
02:25:31,520 --> 02:25:35,760
Speaker 14: home tickets and rescinding those in a particular deal before

2643
02:25:35,800 --> 02:25:39,080
Speaker 14: the season's kicked off that it could not include any

2644
02:25:39,120 --> 02:25:43,360
Speaker 14: match with inter Miami. Indeed, inter Miami has become known

2645
02:25:43,400 --> 02:25:45,840
Speaker 14: as basically the home of Lionel Messi and the one

2646
02:25:45,879 --> 02:25:48,359
Speaker 14: everyone wants to see over.

2647
02:25:48,280 --> 02:25:49,880
Speaker 7: In China and Hong Kong.

2648
02:25:49,959 --> 02:25:54,360
Speaker 14: Inter Miami friendlies ended up causing almost an international row

2649
02:25:54,640 --> 02:25:57,840
Speaker 14: when Lionel Messi and many the other stars simply didn't

2650
02:25:57,879 --> 02:26:02,640
Speaker 14: play in the friendlies. Seemingly in retaliation, the Beijing Soccer

2651
02:26:02,640 --> 02:26:06,560
Speaker 14: Association said that they were going to cancel the matches

2652
02:26:06,600 --> 02:26:10,520
Speaker 14: that Argentina had planned against the Ivory Coast as a

2653
02:26:10,560 --> 02:26:14,360
Speaker 14: friendly in China. Those have been rescheduled here to be

2654
02:26:14,440 --> 02:26:16,840
Speaker 14: played in the United States. But it had far reaching

2655
02:26:16,840 --> 02:26:21,320
Speaker 14: implications in that, hey, you're selling yourself on Leonel Messi

2656
02:26:21,360 --> 02:26:24,480
Speaker 14: here nothing else, which means that the health of this

2657
02:26:24,560 --> 02:26:28,840
Speaker 14: season for MLS is going to hinge solely upon Leonel Messi.

2658
02:26:29,160 --> 02:26:32,160
Speaker 14: Will he stay healthy, will he be able to break records?

2659
02:26:32,600 --> 02:26:36,000
Speaker 14: A big reason why we still talk about Christiano Ronaldo

2660
02:26:36,240 --> 02:26:38,520
Speaker 14: and a big reason why we are talking about the

2661
02:26:38,520 --> 02:26:41,400
Speaker 14: Saudi Pro League and they continue to get eyeballs is

2662
02:26:41,440 --> 02:26:44,720
Speaker 14: because Christiano Ronaldo and to a degree the other stars

2663
02:26:44,720 --> 02:26:47,440
Speaker 14: and whenever there like Neymar and Creem Benzema are still

2664
02:26:47,480 --> 02:26:50,800
Speaker 14: putting up some very impressive play, especially on the part

2665
02:26:50,840 --> 02:26:54,520
Speaker 14: of Ronaldo. Rinaldo I feel like has actually been able

2666
02:26:54,560 --> 02:26:58,880
Speaker 14: to make the Saudi Pro League more respectable than MLS

2667
02:26:59,040 --> 02:27:02,480
Speaker 14: right now, and that's a tough thing to say, considering

2668
02:27:02,480 --> 02:27:04,920
Speaker 14: that the Saudi Pro League was coming from even further

2669
02:27:05,040 --> 02:27:09,480
Speaker 14: behind than the MLS. But it begs every question onto

2670
02:27:09,600 --> 02:27:12,840
Speaker 14: that this league has staked everything on Leonel Messi being

2671
02:27:12,879 --> 02:27:16,840
Speaker 14: It's Jordan being its superstar, but can it actually happen.

2672
02:27:17,600 --> 02:27:20,440
Speaker 14: You can't just have one star really at the end

2673
02:27:20,480 --> 02:27:22,920
Speaker 14: of the day. And it's coming up the double problem

2674
02:27:22,920 --> 02:27:25,800
Speaker 14: that you have to convince the people in this country

2675
02:27:25,840 --> 02:27:31,280
Speaker 14: in America that soccer is worth watching, even in a season,

2676
02:27:31,360 --> 02:27:34,960
Speaker 14: that it's worth watching over something like baseball or basketball

2677
02:27:35,240 --> 02:27:37,959
Speaker 14: or hockey or hell, even other soccer leagues like the

2678
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:40,720
Speaker 14: Premier League. Because you're trying to say that this stuff

2679
02:27:40,760 --> 02:27:43,560
Speaker 14: here local in North America, that you should be watching

2680
02:27:43,600 --> 02:27:46,560
Speaker 14: this instead of what's over in England and very very

2681
02:27:46,600 --> 02:27:50,440
Speaker 14: accessible through NBC and USA, that you want to go

2682
02:27:50,560 --> 02:27:54,200
Speaker 14: out to see these And unfortunately, because of the access

2683
02:27:54,200 --> 02:27:57,120
Speaker 14: to Lionel Messi and the fury around of Lionel Messi,

2684
02:27:57,200 --> 02:27:59,400
Speaker 14: it does have the knock on effect that trying to

2685
02:27:59,400 --> 02:28:01,240
Speaker 14: get in to see the guy who has inspired you

2686
02:28:01,280 --> 02:28:02,439
Speaker 14: to Lionel Messi.

2687
02:28:02,280 --> 02:28:04,240
Speaker 7: Means you're gonna pay paying like, I don't.

2688
02:28:04,080 --> 02:28:07,800
Speaker 14: Know, seven hundred dollars for a ticket. Inter Miami has

2689
02:28:07,840 --> 02:28:12,040
Speaker 14: a massively high ceiling this year. They have the talent,

2690
02:28:12,120 --> 02:28:15,760
Speaker 14: they have the player. The problem is those players are old.

2691
02:28:16,040 --> 02:28:19,320
Speaker 14: Luis Suarez is on here, he's thirty seven, Lionel Messi's

2692
02:28:19,320 --> 02:28:24,480
Speaker 14: thirty six, Sergio Busquetz thirty five, Jordi Alba thirty four.

2693
02:28:25,200 --> 02:28:27,680
Speaker 14: Somehow Inter Miami needs to take a bunch of guys

2694
02:28:27,720 --> 02:28:30,320
Speaker 14: in their upper thirties and figure out how to dominate

2695
02:28:30,360 --> 02:28:32,680
Speaker 14: the rest of the league, because I think that's the

2696
02:28:32,760 --> 02:28:35,480
Speaker 14: only way MLS is gonna get the eyeballs if you

2697
02:28:35,520 --> 02:28:39,320
Speaker 14: are getting Lionel Messi and Inter Miami highlights night after

2698
02:28:39,440 --> 02:28:42,480
Speaker 14: night after night. And if this sounds one note and

2699
02:28:42,560 --> 02:28:45,640
Speaker 14: this sounds even disrespectful to the rest of the MLS,

2700
02:28:45,920 --> 02:28:49,160
Speaker 14: I'm sorry, but this is also what top down MLS

2701
02:28:49,200 --> 02:28:52,120
Speaker 14: has wanted. Don Garber has made comments and says that

2702
02:28:52,320 --> 02:28:55,039
Speaker 14: they should pay attention to the rest MLS. I agree,

2703
02:28:55,080 --> 02:28:57,080
Speaker 14: But the problem is the rest of the MLS has

2704
02:28:57,120 --> 02:29:00,920
Speaker 14: been mired in scandal right now. We started this season

2705
02:29:00,959 --> 02:29:04,480
Speaker 14: with a referee lockout in the MLS. There are replacement

2706
02:29:04,560 --> 02:29:08,080
Speaker 14: refs out here, and there's already tensions brewing on that front.

2707
02:29:08,280 --> 02:29:10,800
Speaker 14: Bruce Arena was cleared to return to the MLS, but

2708
02:29:10,840 --> 02:29:14,640
Speaker 14: we still don't know exactly what exactly happened. Between him

2709
02:29:14,920 --> 02:29:19,440
Speaker 14: and the New England Revolution. We have this incredible scandal

2710
02:29:19,520 --> 02:29:23,560
Speaker 14: involving Merritt Paulson, now the former CEO of the Portland

2711
02:29:23,640 --> 02:29:26,680
Speaker 14: Timbers and now the former owner of the Portland Thorns

2712
02:29:26,680 --> 02:29:30,840
Speaker 14: of the NWSL, the National Women's Soccer League, involving a

2713
02:29:30,959 --> 02:29:34,840
Speaker 14: coach from the Thorns, Paul Riley, and an abuse scandal

2714
02:29:34,879 --> 02:29:39,360
Speaker 14: that's shocked North American women's soccer that we now have

2715
02:29:39,480 --> 02:29:43,640
Speaker 14: a guy stepping down from leading another MLS team as well.

2716
02:29:44,240 --> 02:29:48,400
Speaker 14: There's been misuse of funds already in the in San

2717
02:29:48,400 --> 02:29:52,280
Speaker 14: Diego's attempt to make an MLS team. If this is

2718
02:29:52,280 --> 02:29:55,440
Speaker 14: the attention MLS once, then hey, you can have it.

2719
02:29:55,800 --> 02:29:57,960
Speaker 14: Leonel Messi might cover up a lot of things, and

2720
02:29:58,000 --> 02:30:00,560
Speaker 14: at the end of the day, I think most most

2721
02:30:00,600 --> 02:30:03,560
Speaker 14: casual sports fans out there are only going to care

2722
02:30:03,680 --> 02:30:06,320
Speaker 14: if it is about Leonel Messi, and that's kind of

2723
02:30:06,320 --> 02:30:09,560
Speaker 14: the problem of the Leonel Messi circus. I don't think

2724
02:30:09,600 --> 02:30:11,280
Speaker 14: this has been set up for a lot of long

2725
02:30:11,360 --> 02:30:14,160
Speaker 14: term growth for the MLS, and quite frankly, even in

2726
02:30:14,200 --> 02:30:17,320
Speaker 14: the short term, how much are you really hearing at

2727
02:30:17,360 --> 02:30:20,840
Speaker 14: all about the Leonel Messi circus? How much has it

2728
02:30:20,920 --> 02:30:26,040
Speaker 14: actually permeated our sports culture here in North America how much.

2729
02:30:26,840 --> 02:30:30,000
Speaker 14: And that's my worry for this season, that the messimania

2730
02:30:30,360 --> 02:30:33,680
Speaker 14: might have already worn off for MLS. What are you

2731
02:30:33,760 --> 02:30:36,879
Speaker 14: left with after that? Something to think on, Bernie. MLS

2732
02:30:36,959 --> 02:30:38,680
Speaker 14: is here. I wish I could be a lot more

2733
02:30:38,680 --> 02:30:41,760
Speaker 14: positive about it. It is a fun league. I enjoyed

2734
02:30:41,800 --> 02:30:43,879
Speaker 14: watching a lot of the teams in it. But we'll

2735
02:30:43,879 --> 02:30:46,199
Speaker 14: see you next time. Here on the world of soccer.

2736
02:30:46,560 --> 02:30:50,520
Speaker 2: It's possible good things get messy for MESSI I think

2737
02:30:50,560 --> 02:30:54,240
Speaker 2: not only because if you see this guy play my God,

2738
02:30:54,280 --> 02:30:57,520
Speaker 2: he's the Michael Jordan of soccer and winning the World Cup,

2739
02:30:58,120 --> 02:31:03,200
Speaker 2: putting a the icing on the case last December coming up,

2740
02:31:03,840 --> 02:31:09,200
Speaker 2: A very famous person passed away this past week and

2741
02:31:09,240 --> 02:31:11,440
Speaker 2: I want to give him his flowers. You'll know what

2761
02:32:04,040 --> 02:32:06,000
Speaker 2: our guy Kevin Wire at the chef with the updates.

2762
02:32:07,080 --> 02:32:08,560
Speaker 2: Do you like pop tarts? Yeah?

2763
02:32:08,560 --> 02:32:10,560
Speaker 8: They're all right. I mean I don't have them too often,

2764
02:32:10,640 --> 02:32:12,000
Speaker 8: but it's a nice little snack every noe.

2765
02:32:12,040 --> 02:32:15,120
Speaker 2: Ay, yeah, I appreciate the variance. Last night I did

2766
02:32:15,120 --> 02:32:17,120
Speaker 2: this and we were three for three. We all like

2767
02:32:17,160 --> 02:32:21,680
Speaker 2: love pop tarts, and Kevin figures even said he okay,

2768
02:32:21,879 --> 02:32:26,320
Speaker 2: will eat a whole box. But I appreciate that. Listen.

2769
02:32:26,520 --> 02:32:29,960
Speaker 2: The most boring conversations are when everybody agrees, however, like

2770
02:32:30,080 --> 02:32:33,279
Speaker 2: we had all agree sad news. Bill Post, the inventor

2771
02:32:33,320 --> 02:32:37,160
Speaker 2: of the pop tart, and a fellow Michigan compatriot passed

2772
02:32:37,200 --> 02:32:42,160
Speaker 2: away about a week ago. Now, in nineteen sixty three,

2773
02:32:42,879 --> 02:32:45,680
Speaker 2: Bill Post, inventor of the pop tart. Well, there were

2774
02:32:45,680 --> 02:32:49,920
Speaker 2: only four flavors back in nineteen sixty three, and now

2775
02:32:49,920 --> 02:32:53,920
Speaker 2: there were over thirty flavors. Mine happens to be the

2776
02:32:55,760 --> 02:32:58,840
Speaker 2: brown sugar version, but I don't want to get off

2777
02:32:58,879 --> 02:33:01,720
Speaker 2: on a tangent. Are a couple other things to note,

2778
02:33:02,640 --> 02:33:06,760
Speaker 2: because before it was called the pop tart, bill Post

2779
02:33:07,400 --> 02:33:10,760
Speaker 2: wanted to call it the fruity scone, but he was

2780
02:33:10,840 --> 02:33:14,320
Speaker 2: voted down. So there's that. Instead of the fruity scone,

2781
02:33:14,320 --> 02:33:17,480
Speaker 2: you have the pop tart, which is now entering its

2782
02:33:17,640 --> 02:33:22,240
Speaker 2: sixty first year arm shelf. So rip to bill Post

2783
02:33:22,640 --> 02:33:25,640
Speaker 2: in none of the pop tart. However, I gotta tell you,

2784
02:33:26,720 --> 02:33:28,879
Speaker 2: I really got to give the flowers to the guy

2785
02:33:30,520 --> 02:33:33,160
Speaker 2: that invented the packaging for the pop tart, because if

2786
02:33:33,160 --> 02:33:35,840
Speaker 2: you've ever opened a box of pop tarts, they come

2787
02:33:35,879 --> 02:33:38,520
Speaker 2: in a quantity of six, and they come in three

2788
02:33:38,600 --> 02:33:43,400
Speaker 2: individually wrapped packages of two apiece tinfoil. So you know

2789
02:33:43,560 --> 02:33:45,640
Speaker 2: you got a craving for a pop tart. You know,

2790
02:33:45,680 --> 02:33:47,440
Speaker 2: maybe you just broke out a prison instead of going

2791
02:33:47,480 --> 02:33:50,040
Speaker 2: to I Hop, like we talked about in Brand New Fool.

2792
02:33:50,400 --> 02:33:52,440
Speaker 2: You gotta have a box of pop tarts. You'll pop

2793
02:33:52,520 --> 02:33:55,640
Speaker 2: one open. This is what I used to do. And

2794
02:33:55,680 --> 02:33:57,160
Speaker 2: I ate the two of them and said, man, that

2795
02:33:57,240 --> 02:33:59,119
Speaker 2: was good man, just right. You know I could use

2796
02:33:59,160 --> 02:34:02,560
Speaker 2: one more. So I crack up the crack open the

2797
02:34:02,640 --> 02:34:07,600
Speaker 2: second tinfoil wrapping of a pair of pop tarts. Remember

2798
02:34:07,600 --> 02:34:10,240
Speaker 2: they coming to box with six, and I crushed the

2799
02:34:10,240 --> 02:34:13,240
Speaker 2: third one. Then I get to contemplate and get to

2800
02:34:13,280 --> 02:34:15,880
Speaker 2: thinking for just a second, and I say to myself,

2801
02:34:19,120 --> 02:34:21,360
Speaker 2: I can't just see that pop tarts is sitting there

2802
02:34:22,000 --> 02:34:25,600
Speaker 2: exposed to the air. It'll get stale. So I eat

2803
02:34:25,640 --> 02:34:29,920
Speaker 2: the fourth pop tart. Not really got a dilemma because

2804
02:34:29,920 --> 02:34:32,280
Speaker 2: I got two pop tarts left in the original box

2805
02:34:32,280 --> 02:34:35,320
Speaker 2: of six, and pall I could eat one more. And

2806
02:34:35,400 --> 02:34:37,000
Speaker 2: I think to myself, well, the next time I go

2807
02:34:37,040 --> 02:34:41,840
Speaker 2: to the pantry and I reach for pop tarts, well,

2808
02:34:42,240 --> 02:34:46,400
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna just want two. So what do I do.

2809
02:34:46,640 --> 02:34:52,000
Speaker 2: I crack open that third tinfoil package of pop tarts

2810
02:34:53,440 --> 02:34:56,520
Speaker 2: and they eat the fifth one, and then they ate

2811
02:34:56,560 --> 02:34:59,800
Speaker 2: the sixth one. And now I've eaten an entire b

2812
02:35:00,280 --> 02:35:03,920
Speaker 2: of pop tarts. And you have to ask yourself, if

2813
02:35:03,959 --> 02:35:07,440
Speaker 2: it wasn't the ingenious packaging of how they make pop tarts,

2814
02:35:07,520 --> 02:35:10,520
Speaker 2: would I have done that? Because I started out I

2815
02:35:10,520 --> 02:35:14,080
Speaker 2: was just gonna have two. Then yeah, ready for a

2816
02:35:14,120 --> 02:35:17,040
Speaker 2: third one? Why not? But you can't leave it exposed

2817
02:35:17,080 --> 02:35:19,240
Speaker 2: to the package. You'll get staled. Now off crush four.

2818
02:35:19,520 --> 02:35:20,720
Speaker 2: And I said it up myself. I'll come to the

2819
02:35:20,760 --> 02:35:22,840
Speaker 2: cupboard three days from now. I'm not gonna just want

2820
02:35:22,879 --> 02:35:25,480
Speaker 2: to wait the whole damn thing. So maybe we'll have

2821
02:35:25,520 --> 02:35:28,400
Speaker 2: to do a little research and figure out who the

2822
02:35:28,440 --> 02:35:31,959
Speaker 2: hell invented the packaging for the pop tarts. But in

2823
02:35:32,000 --> 02:35:35,840
Speaker 2: the meantime, Bill Post, inventor of the pop tart, fellow

2824
02:35:35,879 --> 02:35:40,360
Speaker 2: Michigan compatriot, passed away this past week. Invented the pop

2825
02:35:40,360 --> 02:35:42,800
Speaker 2: tart in nineteen sixty three. There were only four flavors,

2826
02:35:42,800 --> 02:35:44,720
Speaker 2: now there are thirty. Wanted it to be called the

2827
02:35:44,720 --> 02:35:52,000
Speaker 2: fruity scone. There is your pop tart story. Ever so quickly, Mark,

2828
02:35:52,680 --> 02:35:54,720
Speaker 2: I know, I guess you in fair enough, Shay, I

2829
02:35:54,760 --> 02:35:56,600
Speaker 2: get it. And to be fair, I haven't had a

2830
02:35:56,600 --> 02:35:59,160
Speaker 2: pop tart probably a decade. But maybe I'll have one

2831
02:35:59,200 --> 02:36:00,680
Speaker 2: after the show. But oh I don't have them in

2832
02:36:00,720 --> 02:36:04,200
Speaker 2: the coverage, so so, uh, Mark, let's just in with you,

2833
02:36:04,240 --> 02:36:06,920
Speaker 2: I guess quickly, because what's your I'd like to know

2834
02:36:06,959 --> 02:36:08,560
Speaker 2: what's your favorite flavor of pop tart?

2835
02:36:09,240 --> 02:36:11,080
Speaker 13: This strawberry wine, strawberry?

2836
02:36:11,080 --> 02:36:14,840
Speaker 2: Have you ever reading a whole box? Absolutely shay while

2837
02:36:14,879 --> 02:36:16,760
Speaker 2: you were testing pop tarts? Did you read the whole box?

2838
02:36:17,720 --> 02:36:20,000
Speaker 11: I've had like bites and I just never bought it.

2839
02:36:20,000 --> 02:36:22,120
Speaker 2: Fair enough, a little dry, maybe just did quite do

2840
02:36:22,160 --> 02:36:25,000
Speaker 2: it for it? I hear it, dude. Let me tell you,

2841
02:36:25,080 --> 02:36:28,440
Speaker 2: my friend. You know, I'm Italian and I don't like olives,

2842
02:36:28,560 --> 02:36:29,960
Speaker 2: which might not make a lot of sense to like.

2843
02:36:31,040 --> 02:36:33,720
Speaker 2: And you go to the grocery store. Somebody's liking them

2844
02:36:33,720 --> 02:36:37,359
Speaker 2: because there's rows and rows and rows of cans of olives,

2845
02:36:37,360 --> 02:36:39,200
Speaker 2: so someone's buying them. Going to do it for the

2846
02:36:39,240 --> 02:36:42,120
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show. See you next Friday, eleven PM. In

2847
02:36:42,120 --> 02:36:44,560
Speaker 2: the meantime, keep it locked up, great up next, They're great.
