0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 2>we got a month. Where is it three weeks until

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:22.000

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 3>Good morning.

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 2>If you're watching on peac ick, Thank you for downloading

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 2>the AMP and also our radio affiliates around the country.

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Here's something alarming, and maybe it's not alarming anymore. The

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Chicago White Sox now have six pitchers who will require

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Tommy John surgery from just the past month. Once again,

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 2>six pitchers in spring training now need Tommy John surgery.

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty four, there were more Tommy John surgeries

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 2>than the first twenty five years after Tommy John had

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:42.039
<v Speaker 2>this surgery. Show Hey o Tani coming back to pitch

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 2>he had a second Tommy John surgery. Of the one

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>hundred and one pitchers that have had two Tommy John surgeries,

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty five pitchers never pitched again. The average career after

0:01:54.560 --> 0:02:00.080
<v Speaker 2>the second Tommy John surgery three seasons. There is a

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 2>new Tommy John surgery, a procedure, and it allows pitchers

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>to come back sooner, maybe pitch longer, but that remains

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 2>to be seen. Showhey Jacob de Gram, Spencer Streder, others

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:18.239
<v Speaker 2>coming back to pitch after having the new Tommy John procedure.

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>At some point, I don't know what baseball can do

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>to kind of protect itself from itself that you have

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 2>these pitchers who just throw as hard as they can

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>for as long as they can, and then you go

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>in for surgery. And I've told this story before, but

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 2>it's worth repeating. I was going to a physical therapist

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 2>and was working on my shoulder after shoulder surgery. And

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>he deals with a lot of big time amateur athletes,

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>and he said he had a twelve year old. Parents

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>from of a twelve year old saying we would like

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>for him to get Tommy John surgery. And the physical

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 2>therapist said, well, what's wrong, nothing, We want to get

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 2>the Tommy John surgery now, So you're having elective Tommy

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 2>John surgery. And he says it's crazy, but it's the

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>new norm now that it's not a big deal. But

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>that's an alarming number of Tommy John surgery's for one

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 2>team in spring training. But if the model is throw

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>as hard as you can for as long as you can,

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.359
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, you go in and have your

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>engine rebuilt, and then you come back and then you

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 2>try to do it again. The body's not meant to

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>throw one hundred and five miles an hour. It's just

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>your arm is not meant to do that. Nolan Ryan's

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>greatest power pitcher I ever saw, and I don't know

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 2>how fast he was throwing, but he was built to

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 2>throw hard. And a lot of it's lower body. You know,

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these pictures lower body. The strength comes

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>from that lower body, being able to get torque, your arm, angle,

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>all of those things. Some guys just have it like

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>they're magically given to them.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Others can develop.

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 2>But sometimes you'll see with performance enhancing drugs, guys can

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>come back. Guys are going to throw harder. You'll see

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 2>a guy who jumps from let's say ninety three to

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 2>ninety seven, and that's a big jump. That's like when

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.359
<v Speaker 2>you watch somebody run one hundred meter dash and you're like, man,

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>they improved by a half a second. It doesn't happen.

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Ben Johnson doesn't happen unless he's got performance

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 2>enhancing drugs. And that's what I worry about, is you

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 2>want to see I mean, pitching is part of the game,

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 2>and it was a huge part of the game. I

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 2>know baseball has changed, but I just wonder how long

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>does it go and what could you even do? What

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 2>are there any precautions that you can take? But if

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 2>baseball is just kind of eat and it's young, here,

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 2>hey go in there and throw hard, and so what, man,

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll get another guy who can throw hard. The number

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>of guys who can throw one hundred miles on Earth

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>used to be like that guy tops out at a hundred.

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Now it's a requirement. You got to throw a hundred

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 2>unless you have some you know, different pitch, great pitch.

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean watching you know Sisaki the Dodgers his first

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>three pitches to start a game, hundi, hundi, hundi. Usually

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 2>you build up to that. How long can you do it?

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 2>And then what happens after that? The torque that you have.

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I I just hate seeing the number of

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 2>players have that surgery. But if they're not afraid of it,

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 2>and they almost expect it, and I shouldn't be worried

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:49.720
<v Speaker 2>about it either, Yampulling.

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 5>If this were a player's safety issue like head injuries,

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 5>the league would step in and address it like the

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 5>if this or the NFL, they would address this and

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 5>not let their star players are pretty famous. It's a

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 5>great point to be out for a season. But baseball.

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 5>I made a joking suggestion a couple of years ago

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 5>saying that if you throw over one hundred miles an hour,

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 5>it's a ball, it's no longer a strike. And that

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 5>was kind of a joke, but he would end the problem.

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 2>But you know, curveball used to mess you up. I

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 2>remember we weren't allowed to throw a curveball until we

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 2>got to a certain age because they didn't want to

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 2>do that to your elbow. And I remember that you

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 2>could throw fastballs, that's it. And then you got to

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>be like twelve and they go, all right, you can

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 2>snap off a curveball. You're like, okay, I mean even then,

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 2>that's too young. Yeah, Pauling, So based.

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 5>Off what you're saying, baseball can't do anything because it's

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 5>starting when they're fifteen sixteen to get recruited or get

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 5>drafted younger.

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is a twelve year old whose parents said,

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 2>let's get surgery now, like let's strengthen it now. And

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 2>the physical therapist I go to he goes, he's twelve.

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>You're not even developed yet, Yeston.

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 6>But this is like this system that we have here

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 6>right at twelve years old, that kids are already thinking about

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 6>I have to get into the right high school so

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 6>I could try to get into the right college, so

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 6>I could get into maybe keep advancing things, and if

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 6>you don't follow the lanes that are set up by

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 6>the system, you're going to have a very difficult time

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 6>breaking through.

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because it's getting with the right team, a travel team,

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 2>and being seen an AAU and all of these you know,

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>traveling squads, and then you get recruited and then you

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 2>begin the process. It's just it's a lot of wear

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 2>and tear. But baseball is welcoming the wear and tear.

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, right, If you don't play in the right league,

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 6>high school or college won't even look at you. If

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 6>you don't go to the right high school or college

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 6>won't even look at you. If you're not doing all

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 6>of these different things, they don't even they're not even

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 6>wasting their time. They're not even going to look.

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking at this recruiting site that's giving

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 5>tips to high school pitchers on how to get recruited,

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 5>and it said, it's your spin rate isn't acceptable for

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 5>the college recruiters or the pro recruiters. They will not

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 5>even look at you. It's it's it's spin rate as

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 5>much or more so than velocity.

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>A couple other headlines we did talk about Russell Wilson,

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 2>what's this mean for Shudor Sanders with the Browns take

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 2>him at number two. Stefan Diggs quietly goes to the Patriots.

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Dame Lillard is out with a blood clot. Now this

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>isn't basketball, this is life. This is serious here, or

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 2>could be very serious. And I wonder if we see

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Dame and Yannis play again. I'll go back to twenty

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty twenty one. Yannis won a title finals MVP

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 2>two previous seasons, won a league MVP, next three seasons,

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 2>finish in the top five for MVP each year. He'll

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 2>be top five again this year and he's averaging thirty

0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 2>twelve and six. When's the last time somebody brought up

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Yannis playing basketball and talked about the overall picture of

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the overall landscape of greatest players in the game.

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 3>His name doesn't come up the way it used to.

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Now he won the title, but then you get a

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>few first round exits, a second round exit this year

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 2>even worse. Dame Lillard's been on the team for the

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 2>last couple of years now with a blood clot, And

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 2>then you start to wonder, if you're Milwaukee, what are

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 2>you going to do?

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:30.319
<v Speaker 3>What's your future here?

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 2>And we thought, well, you put Dame Jannis pick and

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 2>roll unstoppable. Nothing happened, and now it can Dame play again?

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Does the honest want to stay in Milwaukee? And I

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know how many? How many years does Giannis have left?

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 5>Faulling Gianis has three years left on his sixteen contract.

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 5>Fifty four million, fifty eight million, sixty three million.

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 6>Okay, don't write us off, dam We're gonna be okay,

0:09:59.480 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 6>We're gonna be.

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, Thank you, Doc Rivers Pole. Question for the

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 2>final hour of the program is going to be what Seaton.

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 6>Let me update you here a little bit on what

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 6>we've already been working with. Jameis Winston is apparently the

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:18.120
<v Speaker 6>world's greatest pregame speech guy. He's still got ninety percent.

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:19.719
<v Speaker 6>I don't know that we've ever had a ninety ten

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 6>this for three straight hours. That's wild. Can you you

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 6>can put one into play. It's a hard salary cap

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 6>and baseball or return to the old transfer system in college.

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 6>Right now, a hard salary cap and baseball has fifty

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 6>seven percent of the vote.

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Hey, yeah, I don't know if we're going to get

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 2>any of it, but still, you know, it's it's nice

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 2>to think that maybe there are going to be some

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>kind of modifications here. I just it never should have

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>gotten to this, and that's that's what bums me out

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 2>more than anything with the transfer portal and Nil.

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 3>It didn't have to it to this point.

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I just think that you had grown ups who underestimated

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 2>the resolve of players and that they were eventually going

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 2>to get around to this. Because we've had schools who say,

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 2>you know what, we're going to unionize and then all

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.560
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden they don't remember Maurice Clarett was going

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.559
<v Speaker 2>to take on the NFL that he wanted to leave

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State early and then he kind of disappears. I mean,

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.079
<v Speaker 2>you got to be ready for the long haul. You

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 2>got to be ready for a fight. I mean, this

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 2>goes back to Ed O'Bannon with the video game and

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Sonny Vaccero, you know, the shoe sneaker guru came in

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 2>to help with this, to push it through the legal

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 2>system to allow players to actually be people.

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.560
<v Speaker 3>And that's but it's a long haul.

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.320
<v Speaker 2>And you had to have somebody willing to do that,

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 2>and Ed O'Bannon was willing to do that with his family,

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 2>his wife and they were going to try to correct

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 2>this for all athletes, or at least of major sports,

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 2>and that's how we got to this point. I just

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 2>don't think that college sports was prepared for them. Whether

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 2>I know they're not prepared for this, But now, what

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 2>are you preparing for now?

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>This is like when you have the concussion lawsuit? Okay,

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 2>now what are you preparing for?

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Now?

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 2>What happens next? That's what college athletics needs to understand.

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Now what are you doing? Or maybe it's just college football.

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 2>This is what you need to think about college basketball.

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 2>This is what you need. College football, you should secede.

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 2>You should just take over your own sport, have X

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.680
<v Speaker 2>number of schools, and if you do have a relegation, great,

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.839
<v Speaker 2>the money's going to be there. There'll be even more

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 2>money for you. And then with college basketball, you want

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 2>to expand a ninety six, expand a ninety six. I

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 2>don't know what that solves. You're going to make more money?

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.599
<v Speaker 2>Is that the most important thing? So that's where I

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>think these sports you need to individualize and say what

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.319
<v Speaker 2>makes sense for us next five years, next ten years,

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 2>because we may be in this position five seven years

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 2>down the road where we go they didn't learn anything.

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 2>They did not learn anything, repeating their mistakes. Donovan in

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Iowa leads us off, Hey Donovan, what's on your mind today?

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 7>Hey Dan? Sixty two one fifty rough?

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 3>What do you got?

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 7>Hey Dan? Except for Paul or Seat and what he

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 7>said about the working class ditch diggers being jealous of

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 7>nil because they get paid at such young age, it's

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 7>so completely false. We don't hate nil. We actually love it.

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 7>Give these kids a lot more money, get him playing.

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 7>We love it because they they love to how fuck.

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, no, no Donald, no no no.

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:53.200
<v Speaker 3>You were close.

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 6>What I'm saying is not a slight on working class people.

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 6>I'm very much a working class person myself. But I

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 6>do think that a lot of especially from the say

0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 6>sports media people covering the athletes, might be upset that

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 6>the eighteen nineteen year olds are making more money than

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 6>they already did.

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they're they're it's the tail wagging the dog. Yeah,

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 2>And I understand what you're saying. I don't think somebody

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 2>who is, you know, a manual labor is going I

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>don't like college basketball because these kids are making more

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>money than I'll make in my lifetime that definitely exists,

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 2>though could I don't agree with it, but I think

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 2>it's more of it's just a you're ruining my sport.

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Why are we doing this? Why do we need this?

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Like you're ruining my NBA because we allow three point shots? Okay,

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 2>get over it. You're ruining my sport because I don't

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>know where these kids are going to go. Okay, get

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 2>over it. All baseball's got a pitchclock. All they do

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>is hit home run? All right, Now, what are you

0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 2>going to do? Get over it?

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Like that's really the point.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 2>And if you keep holding on to what yesteryear was

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 2>all about, you're gonna be disappointed for a long time.

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 6>See, I think that too. If you're somebody in the

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 6>media who covers say college basketball, and the media landscape

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 6>is shifting like crazy. Nobody knows where they're getting their

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 6>next paycheck. But you're covering a sport where there's money

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 6>flowing all over the place. It's swirling around your head

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 6>and you get into the press box and you're like,

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 6>what's with this crappy food? And I can't figure out

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 6>why my posts aren't generating any money, But I got

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 6>to cover this eighteen year old kid that just needs

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 6>six million dollars and the network that just did a

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.000
<v Speaker 6>six billion dollar deal for this, but I can't figure

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 6>out my money. I get why the coverage is a

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 6>little skewed negative.

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know, Jeff Goodman has been covering basketball

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 2>college basketball a long time, worked at the Mother Shift

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. But you know when he talks

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 2>about that this is basically apocalyptic. Okay, but he shouldn't

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.440
<v Speaker 2>be blaming the kids. He should blame the other people

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 2>who put this system in place or allowed it to

0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 2>be put in place. So we do have anarch. You,

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you can be moaning all the you don't

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 2>have to cover it anymore. I mean, cover another sport.

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's making you cover this. Uh, Pete in Iowa, Hi Pete,

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 2>what's on your mind?

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 9>I'm an old third time caller and I just have

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 9>a poll question. It might be a little late today,

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 9>but I was wondering what's now and more important. You

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.200
<v Speaker 9>don't even talk about high school recruiting basketball anymore. It's

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 9>all about the transfer portal. So I wonder if you

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.080
<v Speaker 9>could make a poll question, what's more important between recruiting

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 9>or the transfer portal?

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I think it's transfer portal. I'll gladly let you

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 2>have a freshman. I'll gladly let you have the top freshman,

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 2>because you know what, I might get a missus sophomore.

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 3>That would be my recruiting approach.

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I'd have a couple of freshmen, but I would have

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 2>my sight set on somebody who has already proven, because

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 2>there are guys that the sport is littered with, guys

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.920
<v Speaker 2>like this guy can't miss. This guy's going to be unbelievable.

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:08.879
<v Speaker 2>And then you go, where's Mony Bates? You know he

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>couldn't miss. I think he was the was he the

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 2>high school.

0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.080
<v Speaker 3>Player of the year in Michigan as a freshman sophomore

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:15.880
<v Speaker 3>sophomore relaxed.

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can't miss, And then all of a sudden

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.239
<v Speaker 2>they miss. I want to know, can you do it?

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Did you already do it? And I'll gladly take you,

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 2>you know I will. All right, let me take a break.

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 2>More phone calls coming up. The NFL is doing some

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:36.919
<v Speaker 2>tweaking to the kickoff again. We'll have that for you

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 2>coming up right after this, and leftovers from in and Out.

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.480
<v Speaker 2>We didn't get all of the in and out burger questions. Yes,

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.399
<v Speaker 2>I could go for an in and out burger over

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:53.479
<v Speaker 2>one thing I've never said. I thought that's never crossed mine.

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 3>What is the other burger?

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:55.760
<v Speaker 8>What a burger?

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Fat burger?

0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know, no in la car all right,

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 2>fatburger for sure? Yeah yeah, all right, Well take a break.

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.439
<v Speaker 2>See I should have known this. I should have known this.

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:10.280

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 10>time to discuss.

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:50.680

<v Speaker 10>on social media that's Covino and Rich.

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Alex Ovechkin at eight hundred and eighty nine goals six

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 2>away from the record. Does he hang around for a thousand?

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.679
<v Speaker 2>I guess if you get to nine hundred, I don't know.

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Is he slowing down? Plus he got injured earlier this year.

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how many games he missed, but he

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 2>is still a beast out there. I'm surprised when he

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 2>doesn't score, and it's really hard to score goals on

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 2>a consistent basis, But I'm like, uh, oh, he didn't

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 2>score last night. He's at eight hundred and eighty nine,

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 2>six from the record. Now the NFL does what the

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.680
<v Speaker 2>NFL does, best. It likes to weak things. The NFL's

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.879
<v Speaker 2>Competition Committee likely to propose a change to the league's

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:08.880
<v Speaker 2>kickoff rules that could raise return rates for the upcoming season,

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:14.800
<v Speaker 2>a source told ESPN. The proposal, expected to be submitted

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.680
<v Speaker 2>in time for next week's league meetings in Palm Beach, Florida,

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 2>would spot the touchbacks at the thirty five yard line

0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.920
<v Speaker 2>rather than the thirty as it was during the twenty

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty four season, and so they revamped the kickoff format.

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Then the shift and field position could prompt some coaches

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 2>to instruct their kickers more often to place the ball

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>in the landing zone between the twenty yard line and

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.200
<v Speaker 2>the goal line rather than the end zone for a touchback.

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.680
<v Speaker 2>It could work in reverse, with more coaches instructing their

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 2>returners to take the touchbacks when they catch the ball

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 2>on the end zone rather than running out. Okay, at

0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>least twenty four owners have to vote to renew this

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:02.160
<v Speaker 2>for the twenty twenty five season, and the format produced

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 2>a return rate of just under thirty three percent, So

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 2>that's a really big rise from the previous year where

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:10.120
<v Speaker 2>it was around twenty two percent.

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 3>So they're going to move on.

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Up to like the NFL has to decide do you

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 2>want kickoffs. I know you want safe kickoffs, but I

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you can have both. Hey, we want

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:26.680
<v Speaker 2>to have kickoffs, but we don't want anybody to get hurt. Well,

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 2>it's like the punt. There are a lot of guys

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 2>who get hurt on punt returns, but they can't do

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.560
<v Speaker 2>anything about it. They can't say unless they go, Hey,

0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 2>when you kick, you can't run down the field until

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:43.760
<v Speaker 2>the kick is kicked, until you punt the ball. But

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, even then with the kickoff, you're at least

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:50.560
<v Speaker 2>what ten or so yards or fifteen yards away from

0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the opposition where you're not getting a real head start.

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you do it with a punt,

0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:58.760
<v Speaker 2>but there are a lot of injuries on punt returns

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and nobody's changing. But with the format with the kickoff,

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:05.639
<v Speaker 2>it's we kind of want to encourage more kickoffs. We

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:08.119
<v Speaker 2>just don't want anybody to get hurt. But that's uh,

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.919
<v Speaker 2>that's being proposed right now, being proposed. They still have

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 2>to vote on that. Jay in Michigan, Hi, Jay, what's

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 2>on your mind?

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 8>Dan?

<v Speaker 3>How's it going? Dennett's long time?

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 8>First time?

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:24.879
<v Speaker 12>I just wanted to call and wish my mom a

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 12>happy birthday on Friday and myself today, and uh, get

<v Speaker 2>reach out to your mom on your own time. And

<v Speaker 2>as far as the Oakland A's, I.

0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:43.560
<v Speaker 4>Don't have no idea.

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 8>I don't.

0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to wait a little while just to see.

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, are they the Sacramento A's. Are they the

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Oakland A's of Sacramento? Is it like the Los Angeles

0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Angels of Anaheim?

0:22:58.080 --> 0:22:58.439
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Uh, I don't know. They always seem to have one

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 2>or two guys where you go. He's gonna look really

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 2>good in another uniform. But that's about it. Yes, Todd, my.

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.280
<v Speaker 13>Half birthday's apple tenth. If you let me have a moment,

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.639
<v Speaker 13>that's one that wish myself in advance of happy half birthday.

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, thank you?

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:17.680
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Paul, I'm on the a's website and the word

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:21.359
<v Speaker 5>Oakland has been scrubbed completely, just A's or athletics. The

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:23.119
<v Speaker 5>word Vegas is in there a few times, but you

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:24.120
<v Speaker 5>don't see Oakland.

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Anywhere near it. Matt in Los Angeles, good morning, Matt,

0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:28.000
<v Speaker 3>what's on your mind today?

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 12>Good morning, gentlemen. I have a part of the space

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.880
<v Speaker 12>bet on the eve of the MLB season, and I'm

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:40.080
<v Speaker 12>seeing it the juice for the Boston Red Sox to

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:41.280
<v Speaker 12>win the Al East.

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I like what Boston did in the off season.

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:50.439
<v Speaker 2>Does anybody? I mean, it's gonna be really competitive. Anybody

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:53.560
<v Speaker 2>want a piece of the Red Sox winning the East?

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 3>Marvin, you look like you're poised and ready to say

0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 3>you'll take that bet.

0:23:57.320 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 14>Is David Ortiz and Madi Ramirez playing for them?

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, little saucy there, so I'm guessing you're taking

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Matt up on the bet. Okay, all right, Matt, you

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:09.960
<v Speaker 2>got a bet. Marvin is gonna take a.

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:10.359
<v Speaker 3>Piece of that.

0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:12.280
<v Speaker 12>All right, let's go.

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:15.280
<v Speaker 2>I like the Red Sox did a good job in

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the off season. The problem is they were only five

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 2>hundred last year. But I don't think the Yankees are

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 2>going to be great this year. Tampa Bay is always competitive,

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 2>you imagine. I hope they move them to just a

0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:32.719
<v Speaker 2>place that you can build a stadium, so it's not

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 2>like it feels like year to year and we're like,

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:36.679
<v Speaker 2>what are the Rays gonna do? Where are they going

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:40.880
<v Speaker 2>to play? And they've been a pretty good organization through

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 2>all of this. Yes, marm it just feels like the

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers and everybody else. Yes, Yes, if I gave you

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers of the field, Todd, you get the Dodgers

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 2>of the field.

0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:53.360
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm gonna go with the Dodgers, all right.

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm believing all right, Oh you believe in them?

0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:57.639
<v Speaker 13>Go back to bet.

0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 2>That's a bold statement right there, Todd Seaton, What about

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:01.879
<v Speaker 2>you Dodgers of the field?

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 4>Field?

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 5>All right, Marvin Dodgers, Paul Dodgers. First time ever I

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:06.920
<v Speaker 5>would say.

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 3>That, I'm gonna say field. You know, it's always tricky.

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 2>It's not how good you are, you know, one hundred

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:14.439
<v Speaker 2>and sixty two games, it's how good you are, and

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:16.920
<v Speaker 2>you know those best four out of seven. Now they're

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:20.119
<v Speaker 2>going to have a ton of pitching, a ton of pitching.

0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:23.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not, you know, in the Mookie Bets situation is

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 2>really scary. I don't know how much information they have

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:29.400
<v Speaker 2>on that other than he's lost like twenty twenty five

0:25:29.440 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 2>pounds and he didn't have twenty twenty five pounds to lose.

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:35.440
<v Speaker 3>But do you see anything?

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I've begun a very unofficial tracker. By the way,

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.440
<v Speaker 6>of all these random predictions that we keep throwing out,

0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 6>I have these like post it notes. Yeah, and I've begunick,

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:48.520
<v Speaker 6>Like I just put eleven thirty three, twenty six Dodgers

0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 6>of the Field, eleven fifty, Bill Belichick getting married, Mason Rudolph,

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:55.000
<v Speaker 6>where are we playing? I have all of these little

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:58.080
<v Speaker 6>post it sticky notes stuck up on the glass between

0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 6>me and Todd, just on the off chance that at

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 6>some point we could bring that audio back.

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I like that.

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. Yeah, it's very nineteen eighty four ish of me,

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 6>considering the computer I have sitting.

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 4>In front of me.

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:12.840
<v Speaker 6>At some point I might transfer this over.

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 4>I might.

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 6>I like the post it notes, Yeah, I kind of

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:16.400
<v Speaker 6>do too.

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James is going to continue or restart his podcast now.

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I know he was on with Pat McAfee yesterday. I

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 2>think it airs today the interview. But do you know

0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 2>who the host is going to be. I don't think

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:34.280
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be JJ Reddick.

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:37.320
<v Speaker 5>We're gonna play guest that host. Yes, Lebron is relaunching

0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 5>the Mind the Game podcast they did with JJ Reddick,

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 5>which he parlayed into the Laker job.

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 3>It won't be Stephen A. Smith. It will not, I

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 3>don't think so.

0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 5>It will be with a former great NBA player.

0:26:50.800 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Hello, Well that doesn't really okay, Gilbert or Renus No gills.

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:04.320
<v Speaker 6>Too big, heels too big at this point.

0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:07.560
<v Speaker 5>This guy's pretty big. But he's between jobs, so this

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:12.399
<v Speaker 5>may relaunch his coaching career. Very great player, been on

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:15.200
<v Speaker 5>the show a number of times. Very great, very great,

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 5>two time league MVP.

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 6>Oh Stephen Nash.

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 5>Steve Nash is the answer. Steve Nash with a new

0:27:26.560 --> 0:27:29.199
<v Speaker 5>co host of Mind the Game podcast with Lebron Right.

0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I don't know how interesting Steve would be as

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:39.359
<v Speaker 2>a host. Why do you say that, like JJ Reddick

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:42.360
<v Speaker 2>wanted to stir things up, I don't like Steve went

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:44.199
<v Speaker 2>out of his way to not stir things up.

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:47.640
<v Speaker 6>See right here in the low post. He's really got

0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:51.440
<v Speaker 6>a flash to the ball, because that's what he really.

0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:54.280
<v Speaker 13>Yes, Todd, they have a good engineer, because he's when

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 13>he's been on with us, there's been some.

0:27:55.600 --> 0:28:00.399
<v Speaker 3>Bad He never he never had a good phone ever. Ever.

0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 3>I think we offered to buy him one. It's like, damn,

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 3>you have him on.

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:07.680
<v Speaker 2>And I think we'd always get him after a morning

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 2>shoot around and the PR person with the Phoenix Suns

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:14.760
<v Speaker 2>would just hand her phone to him, and it was

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:16.919
<v Speaker 2>always a bad reception always.

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 3>But all right, so Steve Nash, Yes, Marv, what the.

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.440
<v Speaker 14>Thing about that podcast when JJ and Lebron were on?

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:26.960
<v Speaker 14>It's not really about entertaining you, like lol, let's let

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:30.439
<v Speaker 14>let's have a good laugh. It's real, like in depth.

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:33.080
<v Speaker 14>It's called Mind the Game podcast, and they go through

0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 14>all these offensive schemes of different teams and different players

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 14>and how they like to do things. So I think

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 14>it might be perfect for a guy like that where

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 14>he can, you know, kind of decipher different offices stuff

0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:48.080
<v Speaker 14>like that. So it's not for like, lol audiences, it's

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:49.800
<v Speaker 14>not for entertainment purposes.

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, I wonder why he hasn't done this or been

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:56.960
<v Speaker 2>an analyst. Has he been asked to be an analyst?

0:28:58.560 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:01.239
<v Speaker 6>See, I don't know, like right, if you're looking at

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:04.960
<v Speaker 6>the traditional analyst role, he's probably not right. But if

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 6>you look at the the Kobe show that he started,

0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 6>it's and it's just him like like like Marvin was saying,

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 6>like hardcore nerding out on basketball, rewinding the play, going

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:16.440
<v Speaker 6>back and forward, back and forth. See this deputake, See

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 6>this deput takes right here. This is why it's so good.

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 6>You know, you really have to be a super hardcore

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.880
<v Speaker 6>fan to enjoy that kind of analysis. I don't know

0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 6>that sitting at the desk with Ernie, you know, maybe

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:30.239
<v Speaker 6>that doesn't play with strengths because of his personality being

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 6>a little more low key.

0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:35.120
<v Speaker 2>But I could see where Kobe was maniacal at figuring

0:29:35.160 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 2>things out, maniacal. I don't know if Steve was ever

0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:38.480
<v Speaker 2>that way.

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:40.000
<v Speaker 6>Peyton Manning did the same thing.

0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, like you're maniacal.

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 2>And you know, when you have a podcast called Details,

0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean it is detailed.

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:49.840
<v Speaker 3>But I okay, good.

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 2>You know Lebron has got a new podcast to ust

0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 2>time to play. Well, we have leftovers of in or around,

0:29:57.440 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 2>and we have a bonus fill in the blank as well.

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 3>We have so many things going.

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 2>On, and I've got you know, let's do another hour

0:30:04.240 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 2>one of these days, we're just gonna do another hour.

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna blow through the stomp sign. We're gonna do

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 2>another hour.

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Here we go. Wait, I was waiting for the Yeah,

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 3>let's do it. Why don't you give back to the

0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:18.960
<v Speaker 3>audience for a change.

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 4>I think we should do a twenty five hour marathon.

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay, all right, Paul.

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:25.600
<v Speaker 5>Two in or outs. We did this two weeks ago.

0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 5>Aaron Rodgers will be a stealer by Monday.

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 2>By Monday, Todd out, see Marvin Out. I'm gonna say

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:37.840
<v Speaker 2>in just for giggles, all right.

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:42.680
<v Speaker 5>The NFL is making the kickoff return way better.

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 3>It's the return of the return, yes, Todd Out, see

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Marvin Out.

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll say in is yeah, yeah, bonus fill in the

0:30:57.960 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 2>blank Okay.

0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 5>Steve Nash is doing the podcast with Lebron because of blank.

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:12.000
<v Speaker 4>Side, because of Lebron. Well, Lebron James asked to do

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:12.520
<v Speaker 4>something to do.

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:14.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that was the answer Paul he was

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.320
<v Speaker 2>looking for, but he's going to accept that.

0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:18.920
<v Speaker 3>Satan.

0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 6>Well, if it's not Lebron, I'll say boredom.

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Marvin Amazon money.

0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why he's doing it because I don't

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 2>think he gets another opportunity to coach.

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so.

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 2>That's the reason I thought no, because he's already done

0:31:37.760 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 2>it didn't go well, JJ hadn't done it, and I

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 2>think by all accounts, he's done a pretty good job

0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 2>this year. But I don't know if Steve gets another chance. Yeah, Paul,

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:48.400
<v Speaker 2>did it feel.

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 5>When Reddick took the job that the clause were out

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:53.960
<v Speaker 5>for him to fail big time, more than any big

0:31:54.000 --> 0:31:57.120
<v Speaker 5>time without, more than any coaching hire in the past decade.

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 5>People were out to watch him fail. Yeah, it felt

0:32:01.080 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 5>that way.

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, because he went to Duke and his whole attitude

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and when he was on First Take and podcast and

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:11.240
<v Speaker 2>never coached before. Smartest guy in the room. But he's

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:17.440
<v Speaker 2>done a really good job. Yes, he's navigated injuries here

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the trade with Luca incorporating him. You have the Browni factor.

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Did you see where Bronnie had like thirty nine in

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 2>a G League game the other night.

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 4>I know what the fifty fifth pick does.

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I'm glad.

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy for him. Let him have a little success here. Yeah, yeah,

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's just what you do.

0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:41.600
<v Speaker 6>He's I guess he's somewhere in between a G League

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 6>player and an NBA player. Yeah, he's on the high

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 6>end of G League and the low end of NBA.

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Paul, would you rather average thirty in the G

0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 5>League or two in the NBA.

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 2>If they gave me the accommodations in the NBA. I

0:32:56.440 --> 0:33:00.920
<v Speaker 2>would be fine with thirty nine in the G League,

0:33:01.040 --> 0:33:04.440
<v Speaker 2>but I don't get that, so I guess I'll take

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:07.720
<v Speaker 2>our average two. He's not even averaging two in the NBA,

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. But yeah, i'd be the last guy

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 2>on the bed in the NBA. Sure, I would put

0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 2>on a show during warm ups. Man, I would be

0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:19.960
<v Speaker 2>in a full sweat after warm ups. I'd look like

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I had played the game. I remember there were times

0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:25.680
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even take off my warm ups.

0:33:26.000 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 4>It was like.

0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:29.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't even need a shower.

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Kind of sad, Okay, but I'm over it.

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:36.959
<v Speaker 4>I am.

0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:37.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm over.

0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:38.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm glad. You don't hold grudges or anything.

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, damn if they only had the transfer portal and

0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 2>they had the three point shot back when I was playing,

0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:50.200

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, who is the best pregame speecher on the Giants

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:31.240
<v Speaker 6>right now? Between Russell Wilson and Jamis Winston. Jamis Winston

0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 6>holding steady at ninety percent. That's good for him, big Win.

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:38.160
<v Speaker 6>And you can put one into place, a hard salary

0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:41.480
<v Speaker 6>cap in baseball or a return to the old transfer

0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:45.560
<v Speaker 6>system in college football. Right now, fifty six percent of

0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:48.719
<v Speaker 6>the audience would rather have a hard salary cap in baseball.

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Chris and San Diego, Hi, Chris, what's on your mind today?

0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 15>Hey?

0:34:54.400 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 8>Dan? Dan Edge five eleven two two. Hey, I have

0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:03.960
<v Speaker 8>a son. He was the youngest of three brothers and

0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:07.720
<v Speaker 8>a daughter and five kids all together, and we didn't

0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:09.799
<v Speaker 8>have the resources to put him through travel ball and

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 8>all that, especially in southern California, but we developed him.

0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:17.640
<v Speaker 8>I say, we need the brothers too. As a catcher,

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:19.719
<v Speaker 8>you know, he had to add the accuracy to get

0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:22.239
<v Speaker 8>back to the pitcher each pitch. Every pitch he was

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 8>developed in, he called the game. And as he got

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:28.960
<v Speaker 8>bigger and stronger, he wanted to pitch. He had the

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:31.400
<v Speaker 8>four pitches through high school. They had a very successful

0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:35.239
<v Speaker 8>high school league and as he developed, he went to

0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:37.840
<v Speaker 8>junior college. One year, his catcher in high school was

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:41.840
<v Speaker 8>drafted right at ICEOL. We went to spring training. We

0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:45.520
<v Speaker 8>had to extended spring rookie ball to watch his catcher play,

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:48.560
<v Speaker 8>and he knew he fit in. So he pitched one

0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:52.520
<v Speaker 8>year in Southwestern College DUCO down in San Diego. And

0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:57.080
<v Speaker 8>when the scout after he was drafted called on Friday,

0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:00.440
<v Speaker 8>drafted Saturday, signed on Sunday at the house and I

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:03.160
<v Speaker 8>asked the scout, but what did he see and he said,

0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:05.880
<v Speaker 8>he has a size, he has a mechanic. He was

0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:09.720
<v Speaker 8>drafted by the Nationals, and as a dad, I thought, okay,

0:36:10.200 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 8>everything's there, and they said we will help him develop.

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:16.320
<v Speaker 8>One thing I can offer to parents as a parent

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:18.880
<v Speaker 8>of a kid who was drafted and played professional baseball

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:24.640
<v Speaker 8>for five years, his mechanics and locations. Forget the curve ball,

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:26.919
<v Speaker 8>twelve year old, eleven year old, ten year old, forget

0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:30.440
<v Speaker 8>all that locate the pitch work on your mechanics. They

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:33.719
<v Speaker 8>will tell you to high school and JUCO and if

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 8>you do happen to be fortunate enough for one percent

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:36.960
<v Speaker 8>er to get drafted.

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:40.279
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, thank you, Chris. Got to get to

0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the story a little bit quicker. Okay, you had good intentions,

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:45.400
<v Speaker 2>but got to get to this story. Yes, Toney, you

0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:45.799
<v Speaker 2>might have just.

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 13>Had Mechanics and location are important. If you have a

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:50.120
<v Speaker 13>young pitcher, that is true, then you're out.

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:52.800
<v Speaker 2>And that's coming from you. Who can't you know that

0:36:53.200 --> 0:36:54.680
<v Speaker 2>cut it in half and then cut it in half.

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:55.840
<v Speaker 4>That was even Wait till then for me?

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, should have had the clock on him. He yes,

0:36:58.000 --> 0:37:00.319
<v Speaker 2>we should have a pitch clock on it. I would

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:04.360
<v Speaker 2>have been Yes. If your kid's a pitcher and he

0:37:04.440 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 2>throws hard, then you have to brace yourself for Tommy

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:09.040
<v Speaker 2>John surgery.

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:12.920
<v Speaker 3>That's a reality this day in sports history, Paul.

0:37:12.719 --> 0:37:15.160
<v Speaker 5>This is one of my favorites. Nineteen thirty one, Boston

0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 5>Bruins coach Art Ross became the first NHL coach to

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:21.320
<v Speaker 5>pull his goalie for an extra attacker in the Stanley

0:37:21.320 --> 0:37:24.200
<v Speaker 5>Cup semifinals. Can you imagine the reaction to the other team.

0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:27.000
<v Speaker 5>The goalie is just skating off the ice, another guy's

0:37:27.000 --> 0:37:30.680
<v Speaker 5>flying on and it's inside the rules, and then let's

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:34.279
<v Speaker 5>go twenty fourteen, the National Labor Relations Board rule that

0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:37.520
<v Speaker 5>college football players at Northwestern could unionize.

0:37:37.640 --> 0:37:40.000
<v Speaker 3>They did not nineteen seventy three.

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:43.360
<v Speaker 2>It might be the best performance I ever saw, considering

0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:46.560
<v Speaker 2>it was in the championship game. Bill Walton scored forty four.

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:51.719
<v Speaker 2>UCLA beat Memphis, and Bill, I think it was twenty

0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:53.160
<v Speaker 2>one to twenty two from the floor. I think he

0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:56.160
<v Speaker 2>actually missed three free throws. He missed more free throws

0:37:56.160 --> 0:37:58.080
<v Speaker 2>than he did field goals. And I think the one

0:37:58.120 --> 0:38:01.760
<v Speaker 2>missy the he had was an offense of goaltending. Magic

0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Johnson beat Larry Bird on this day, the highest rated

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.880
<v Speaker 2>college basketball game in history.

0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:09.600
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

0:38:10.840 --> 0:38:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Gilbert Arenas, friend of the Show, sentenced to thirty days

0:38:14.280 --> 0:38:17.919
<v Speaker 2>halfway House, two years probation, five thousand dollars fine, four

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:21.680
<v Speaker 2>hundred hours of community service. He brought guns into the

0:38:21.760 --> 0:38:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Wizard's locker room. Yeah, yeah, who is it? Critendon?

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, yes, yes, Tom.

0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:33.120
<v Speaker 13>If they were still called the Bullets at the time with.

0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give you a bloop on that one. Now

0:38:39.239 --> 0:38:42.600
<v Speaker 2>they used to be the Baltimore Bullets, Yes, yes, Marvin.

0:38:42.640 --> 0:38:42.879
<v Speaker 4>Sorry.

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 14>Going back to Magic and Bird, are they the two

0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:47.160
<v Speaker 14>most important figures in the history of the NBA.

0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:51.719
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna drop that on me with three minutes ago?

0:38:52.200 --> 0:38:52.799
<v Speaker 3>What are you doing?

0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 4>We're doing another hour?

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, you and me, we're gonna be in the crates.

0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:03.719
<v Speaker 2>The kids like to say, yeah, you know what they

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:07.640
<v Speaker 2>did when they did it? Where the NBA was before that. Yeah,

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty big stuff there. That's why I think they

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:14.680
<v Speaker 2>should always be ranked. It should be Magic Bird Bird

0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:17.359
<v Speaker 2>and Magic on the all time list, you know, top ten,

0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Those two should occupy one of the slots there.

0:39:22.600 --> 0:39:23.800
<v Speaker 3>Anything to watch tonight?

0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:27.759
<v Speaker 5>We have some really bad basketball, Dan, I know you

0:39:27.880 --> 0:39:30.000
<v Speaker 5>love that. Wizards sixers tonight.

0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh my goodness.

0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:36.560
<v Speaker 5>Now there's good stuff. Lakers, Pacers, Bucks, Nuggets, Celtic Suns.

0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 5>That's decent, but you should be watching Wizards sixers.

0:39:40.520 --> 0:39:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm watching Lakers Pacers because now it's starting to get

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:47.120
<v Speaker 2>interesting here. And remember when I said about the Lakers.

0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:49.640
<v Speaker 2>The difference in the Lakers was they were playing defense.

0:39:50.360 --> 0:39:53.240
<v Speaker 2>If they play defense, they can go to the Western

0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Conference championship game. I really believe that the Western Conference finals.

0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:02.160
<v Speaker 2>I really believe that they play defense. But when you

0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:05.800
<v Speaker 2>don't play defense, you don't score enough to outscore people

0:40:05.920 --> 0:40:08.479
<v Speaker 2>like some of these other teams do. That is still

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:14.640
<v Speaker 2>my big concern. Let me see Colin in Arkansas. Hi, Colin,

0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:15.359
<v Speaker 2>what's on your mind?

0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:19.160
<v Speaker 15>Ind B, I know I'm a little late here with

0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:22.920
<v Speaker 15>the whole basketball football school narrative, but I wanted to

0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:25.560
<v Speaker 15>trim in a as a lifelong razorback fan, we are

0:40:25.600 --> 0:40:28.879
<v Speaker 15>indeed a basketball school, and I'm fine with that. It's

0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:33.000
<v Speaker 15>got a rich history from Eddie Sutton to Nolan Richardson

0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:37.239
<v Speaker 15>Muscleman and now with Cal that's a few hall of

0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:42.239
<v Speaker 15>famers right there. Paul's polling question on rather winning a

0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:46.880
<v Speaker 15>title in basketball or SEC conference title is the wrong question.

0:40:46.880 --> 0:40:50.480
<v Speaker 15>I would say I take basketball all day there, But

0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 15>if it was between a football title and a basketball title,

0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:55.640
<v Speaker 15>I'd probably lean football.

0:40:55.840 --> 0:41:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh of course, you would. Just about everybody would, Football's king.

0:41:01.760 --> 0:41:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Let's go around the room. Did we learn anything today, Tom?

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:05.040
<v Speaker 4>I think we did.

0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:07.040
<v Speaker 13>Ernie Johnson thinks if he and the inside the NBA

0:41:07.120 --> 0:41:09.719
<v Speaker 13>crew were comfy in street clothes on the air one night,

0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 13>Anthony Davis might not take it as an homage to him.

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:17.720
<v Speaker 6>Seaton, what did you learn today, Ernie Johnson, big hoodie guy. Yes, yes, Marvin.

0:41:17.960 --> 0:41:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Ernie Johnson not afraid of shack.

0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:21.720
<v Speaker 5>Oh, we're tweaking the kickoff.

0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Todd Wood I learn if he plays anywhere near expectations.

0:41:24.680 --> 0:41:26.680
<v Speaker 13>You believe Cooper Flag can make close to a billion

0:41:26.719 --> 0:41:27.880
<v Speaker 13>dollars in his pro career.

0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:30.200
<v Speaker 2>You just look at what you're going to get with

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:32.520
<v Speaker 2>your You know, he'll have the rookie contract, then you

0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:34.759
<v Speaker 2>have the second one, then you have the third one.

0:41:35.160 --> 0:41:39.920
<v Speaker 2>He's eighteen years of age. A billion might be light.

0:41:40.880 --> 0:41:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for joining us. Let's do it again tomorrow
