Thursday night might have been 86 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: the best night of the tournament you had. I've been great. 87 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: You had that crazy Arkansas Tech game. 88 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: I've been bored to tears with this tournament. It's almost 89 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: since it's got to the point where I'd rather watch 90 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: baseball than the NCAA March madness this year. 91 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: So are you saying that since you have four of 92 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 3: the eleven Roman numerals on the show, dedicated to this, 93 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: which is almost half the program. You don't want to 94 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: talk about it. I got five even five, so. 95 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: No, but I mean, seriously, it is not when we're 96 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: talking about excitement excitement level. I give it a two 97 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: out of ten, maybe a one. 98 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 5: You're right. 99 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 3: I would love to sit here and fight with you 100 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: and tell you you're wrong. I think part of this 101 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: is because you're starting to fall down the ladder a 102 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: little bit in the bracket challenge. That's fine. 103 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: Not here A point right, jem right there? You and 104 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: I are right up there. I blew by you, three 105 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: points behind you. 106 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 3: You can't make it up. 107 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,679 Speaker 2: It just like count who do you have in the final? 108 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: We have the same finals Auburn and Duke. 109 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 3: Uh maybe I don't know. I haven't looked at that. 110 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I have Auburn, one of the few that has Auburn. 111 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 4: So that's that's where. 112 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 3: Oh your hose because of a Jennai's. 113 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: Injury, I know, I saw, yeah he had, he had, 114 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: but he came back into the game though he did. 115 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: But did you see the way he was handling his 116 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 3: right I understand he's a left handed dude, but did 117 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: you see the way that his right like arm was 118 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: kind of to hang in and how much he was 119 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 3: checking that elbow. 120 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: You should have just amputated it right before he came Can. 121 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: You imagine he walks out. It was a pretty cool moment. 122 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: I gotta tell you that. 123 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 2: Much as three he had a three take I did. 124 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 3: As soon as he came back in and the lid 125 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 3: went off. That place only. 126 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: A two and a half point underdog in the game. 127 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 2: To be honest, who was Auburn in this next game? 128 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 2: Auburn's a two and a half point dog. 129 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I I mean, honestly, I think it's 130 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: about as evenly matched of a game as you could have. 131 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: I think it's because of the injuries why they made 132 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: it two and a half, or would probably would have 133 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: been right around pick them. 134 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 3: You mean the injuries for the Auburn injury to Ji Brown. 135 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 3: I think it would have been a pick them. I 136 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: think you're I cannot believe this, this is too I 137 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: think you're right. 138 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 2: Yeah. 139 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 3: I mean, listen, Florida probably should have been out of 140 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 3: this tournament in the sweet sixteen. If we're just being 141 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 3: honest with ourselves, and I'm not trying to make Aaron 142 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 3: Torres feel better about things, but in fairness, it seemed 143 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 3: like Florida kind of had Auburn's number when they played 144 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: them earlier in the season. Now, I don't want to 145 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: get two into trying to compare a game that to 146 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 3: place and let's see, when was that on February eighth 147 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 3: to something that could happen? What is that going to 148 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: be next Saturday night, April sixth by that point? But 149 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 3: I don't want to get two carryo with that. But 150 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: they did beat them by nine on Auburn so in court, 151 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 3: So again take take what you want. Robert did not 152 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 3: finished the year strong. I think they had lost three 153 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: of six or something. I'm not exactly sure, Chris, to 154 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 3: be honest with you, I don't think they finished strong. 155 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: What do you mean You think they lost three their 156 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: last four games? 157 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I thought it was three or six. 158 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, because they had lost the they lost the tournament game, 159 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 3: and then they lost their final two regular season. 160 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: Games because I thought that tournament okay. 161 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, they did three of their last four games. 162 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: They won the first game in the tournament, and uh 163 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 3: and then they let's see here, I'll tell you so 164 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: you know exactly what it is. They lost to Texas 165 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: a and m On March fourth, they lost Alabama. On 166 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 3: March eighth, they beat Ole Miss, and then they lost 167 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: to Tennessee in the quarterfinals semi finals of the SEC tournament. 168 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 3: So yeah, and no team there was some staff, and 169 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: no team that had lost three of their last four 170 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: games had ever made the final four. I think it 171 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: was either that, But now I'm starting to wonder if 172 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: I misremember that, and it was lost three of their 173 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: last four and didn't win the national championship regardless. 174 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: Regardless Flida be, he shouldn't even be that far with 175 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: what they had to overcome, you know. 176 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: Well, not just to overcome how poorly they played. I mean, 177 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 3: if Texas Tech knew how to hit free throws, we'd 178 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: be talking about maybe kind of a pseudo Cinderella. 179 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: And it's not just free throws, it's missing the front 180 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: end or one on ones that's just a killer. 181 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: There's this part of me, the one and one has 182 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 3: been taking so much out of the NBA game. And 183 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 3: I watched so much NBA basketball that I almost get 184 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: shocked whenever it's a one and one in college Basketwak, 185 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: what's he doing? Why is he get out of the lane? 186 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's right. We have one in one. 187 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 2: You know, it's so funny. I was just telling one 188 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: of the younger kids I played basketball with. I said, 189 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: you know, there was a time in the NBA where 190 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: they go when you were shooting foul shots, you had 191 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 2: three to make two. And he started to laugh. He 192 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: thought I was kidding. He's like, I'll stop it. I know, 193 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 2: I'm serious. He goes, would just stop. I go, no, 194 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: it was a rule I think up until like the eighties, 195 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 2: and you had three to big two. 196 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 4: On the follow line. 197 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: There, Yeah, there's so many there's so many wild things 198 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 3: that have changed, but the three to make two that 199 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: was not gonna lie. I I am kind of glad 200 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: that that one's gone. 201 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 4: Oh hell yeah, that's for sure. That's for sure. 202 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. And by the way, you say that this has 203 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: been a snooze fest of an NCAA tournament. 204 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I can see the tweets coming in. He goes, 205 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: here we go Spaniard comparing March Madness to a can 206 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: of spam. Yeah, it was a bad one. Was absolutely 207 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 2: a bad one this year, just face it. 208 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: But I mean I kind of like the Sweet sixteen games. 209 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you could sit here and tell me that 210 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 3: they that it was a snooze fest in the Elite eight. Okay, Tennessee, 211 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 3: the moment was too big for him, right. Uh. Michigan 212 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 3: State was never really able to get over the hump 213 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 3: against Auburn, Alabama Wilton down the sh stretch. Apparently they 214 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 3: used up all their shots against b YU in the 215 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: Sweet sixteen. But Florida Texas Tech was I guess, depending 216 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 3: on which side you were on, was was like one 217 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: for the ages art. The Sweet sixteen games were incredible. 218 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: I think the problem is nobody really gives a damn 219 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: about the Sweet sixteen games, do they. You've got to 220 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 3: have good Elite eight Final four games and maybe we'll 221 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 3: have a great Final four. 222 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 2: Overall, what we tuned in for is the early upsets. 223 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 4: We really didn't get that. 224 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: We got the one with McNees over Clemson, but that's it. 225 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: We also tuned in for the buzzer beaters. 226 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 4: We really didn't get much of that. 227 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: All those Yeah, we had two which is like nothing, 228 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: that's just bare minimum, and some great battles with you know, 229 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: number one seeds, and so far all the number one 230 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: seeds are there, so we'll see if the final four 231 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 2: is going to save the tournament. But up till now, 232 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: it's been a snooze fest. No buzzer beaters, lack of 233 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: buzzer beaters, lack of upsets, and why that is as 234 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: highly rated, Well, nobody knows that the time there's not 235 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 2: going to be a buzzer beater or an upset. So 236 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: you're tuning into the watch for one grizz Okay, Well 237 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: then it's okay, I listen. I love you, Arnie. 238 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 3: Not everyone is tuning into a basketball game waiting for 239 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 3: a buzzer beater. If that were the case, they would 240 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 3: start watching with thirty seconds to go in the game. 241 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 2: Or they're doing it for their brackets. So you tell 242 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 2: me why people are watching McNees and Clemson with all 243 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 2: kinds of excitement. You tell me why all of a 244 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: sudden everybody wants to watch that kid. 245 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: Well, you're bringing up one game, and I have no 246 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 3: idea why the numbers were as high as they were 247 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 3: because I'm with you, But to pretend like, oh, the 248 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: lack of buzzer beaters, I think that's something for us, 249 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: just that are in our little sports bubble. I almost cussed. 250 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 3: I don't think they could give two bleeps and it's 251 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 3: your obsession and it's fine. And I think most people 252 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 3: are like, I haven't had a buzzer beat. I'm like, well, 253 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 3: you know, go back last week. How many buzzer beaters 254 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 3: they truly have last year? So you were complaining about 255 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: it last year. 256 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 2: Tell me why March madness is what it is today. 257 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 2: Tell me what it's been built on over the course 258 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 2: of years. What's made March shorton is the great event. 259 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 3: Because it happens during the day on Thursday and Friday, 260 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 3: and you can skip out of work and everyone. 261 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: Feels out of bracket. That's just two days, though, well, 262 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: and you're sitting. 263 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 3: Here going crazy about two days because if I didn't 264 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 3: have any upsets in the first round, everybody hates Cinderella 265 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 3: by the time he gets to sweet sixteen because you're like, 266 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 3: this guy sucks.

So I just I 268 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 3: don't know why it's not as exciting as it is. 269 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: But the bottom line is the numbers have still been 270 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 3: through the roof. 271 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: So I find that more not compelling, but more articles 272 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: about are more stories about all these coaches moving around 273 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: and why Oates would want to leave Alabama because they 274 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: give too much money to the football, And I'm like, 275 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: wait a minute, what's going on here is there's not 276 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: enough money for everybody to get I'm like confused, why 277 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: you ever want to leave a job like that with 278 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 2: all the success he's ated. The whole thing's crazy. 279 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 3: Well, I think part of it too now is well 280 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 3: you want to you want to nerd out on this 281 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: right now? Or do you want to move on to 282 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: pro sports? Like Shady sew College basketball gets like two 283 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 3: or three shows a year and I've never seen someone 284 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 3: more angry that we would talk about college basketball than 285 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 3: our buddy Shady Sean for twenty But bott, let me 286 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 3: Cliff note it real quick before we hit a couple 287 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 3: of our NFL things real quick. Rev Share is real now. 288 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 3: It's not going to kick in until next year, so 289 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 3: you're gonna get and out. Because I was trying to 290 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: figure this out, like why is everyone talking about the 291 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 3: Anisle budget and making this money when we're gonna have 292 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: Revshare and we're gonna have twenty million dollars for each 293 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 3: school that's gonna be split amongst teams and there's gonna 294 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 3: be Nile clearinghouse that's supposed to get rid of this 295 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 3: pay for play right that's we still got the year 296 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 3: out of it, because this thing isn't going to go 297 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,359 Speaker 3: into effect until they get things settled. I think coaches 298 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: like Nate Oates are using this as some kind of 299 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 3: leverage because they're mad about the percentage of money that 300 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: they're getting in the REP share because you have to 301 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 3: split twenty million amongst all of your sports, which at 302 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: any discussion aren't. You can do it however you want. 303 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 3: You can give ninety nine percent sent to football and 304 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 3: one spread across all the others. 305 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 2: Does that mean like the best job in America right 306 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: now is the Villanova jobs might be football to get the. 307 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: Month from no, I mean, I mean that's that's a 308 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 3: big selling point if you if you kind of look, 309 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 3: that's the big selling point for the Creightons, for the Villanova's, 310 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 3: for the Saint John's of the world, where you might 311 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 3: have a football program but it's not it's not a powerhouse, 312 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 3: and they're gonna put all their money in basketball. And 313 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 3: I just I think that's why you see Buzz Williams, 314 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 3: who's the head coach at Texas A and M is 315 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: being rumored for Maryland. I think he sees the future 316 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: because he realizes, I love A and M it's a 317 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 3: great school. But the percentage of revshare you're gonna get 318 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 3: for basketball at Texas A and M Arty and be 319 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 3: very high, right, and you're gonna have people that are 320 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 3: gonna be more interested in getting those nil deals for 321 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 3: what football players. So I think that's gonna make it 322 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 3: a lot harder for basketball teams at football schools, especially 323 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 3: when we get read to pay for play. But we'll see, 324 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: you know, there's a long way to go. Florida is 325 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 3: a football school. They're in the Final four. Auburn's got 326 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 3: a good football program. Yeah, they're in the final four, right, 327 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: So maybe this is all hogwashed. But I think if 328 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 3: this is considered a short version, that's why you hear 329 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 3: things like Natoate's name up for different places because they 330 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 3: feel like they're not going to get the kind of 331 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: money that they've been getting in them for play. 332 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: Came, didn't he threaten to go to a Big ten 333 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: school where they have the same problem with football? 334 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 4: They're also? Am I wrong on that? 335 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 3: What's the Big ten school he was threatening to go. 336 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't remember. It was Maryland, Okay, Maryland. 337 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: Okay, So what is you think a focus is going 338 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 3: to be out of Maryland If you get a guy 339 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 3: like Nate Oates there with their basketball heritage and tradition, 340 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 3: where he might be at our Alabama and I don't 341 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: know what their percentages look like, Arnie, and he's been 342 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 3: told by his athletic director, Well, man, you're only getting 343 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 3: fifteen percent, so you got to figure your payroll out 344 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 3: on that. He might look at a place like Maryland 345 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 3: and they might be getting twenty five percent of that. 346 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: That's a lot of money when you're talking about twenty million. 347 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 3: So I don't know. That's That's the why I think 348 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: behind why you're hearing a guy's name like Canato. It's 349 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 3: being rumored out there. 350 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, it does, now that you put it that way, yes, 351 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 2: it does. It makes more sense than when he was 352 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 2: just all mad about it. I'm like, what's this guy 353 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: mad about. He's had so much success over the last 354 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: three years. This guy should be happier than anything. So 355 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: I was a little confused about what was going on. 356 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: Well, we got a lot on college basketball to get 357 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 3: to tonight, and we got Todd Furman coming up to 358 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 3: help us out with the numbers. I guess it's been 359 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 3: a good with so much chalk. Is that good for 360 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 3: the books or not? I mean, I think it's good, 361 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 3: But we'll ask Todd coming up here in just a bit. 362 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 3: All right, Roman numerals one, three or five? All about 363 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament. But when we come back, do we 364 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 3: have controversy in Major League baseball? Arnie? Do we have 365 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 3: a reason to talk Major League baseball in late March? 366 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: Yes? 367 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 3: On the Arning Plank Show.

Right, all right? What was it? All four? 394 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, all the top four seeds advanced out of 395 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 3: the first round and you know you really didn't have that? No, 396 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 3: it was the sweet sixteen? Wasn't it? One, two, three, four? 397 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 3: In each region? Am I got that? 398 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 2: Oh? 399 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 3: Nougaus Arkansas beat Saint John's. It was the first round. First, 400 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 3: it was the first two days of the tournament. But 401 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 3: it had been done as recently as twenty seventeen. You know, 402 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 3: it's only like eight years ago. I don't know. I 403 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 3: mean everyone wants to blame Nil or the transfer of Portal. 404 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 3: I blamed the portal more than anything else. Portal's killing Cinderella. 405 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 3: That's absolutely happening. I mean, have you seen that that 406 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 3: graphic that made the rounds about where guys started at 407 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 3: and where they are now? As far as the this 408 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: was back, I think to the elite eighteen sixteen teams. 409 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: I think there was like about fifteen hundred, though in 410 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 2: the portal might be more than that now, chrisy. 411 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: Well, I don't mean just right now. I mean if 412 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: you look at the sweet sixteen teams where they're starting, 413 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 3: five actually started playing college basketball, right I'm talking about yeah, yeah, yeah. 414 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 3: There was only one team in the Sweet six team 415 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 3: who had all five of its starters that started at 416 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 3: its own school. And I mean were we ever thinking 417 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 3: about that whenever we were younger? I mean, look at 418 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 3: there's one school that I mean, Auburn has had a 419 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 3: guy that basically started at their school and ended up 420 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 3: with four starters who were elsewhere, and two of them 421 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 3: are three of the schools I think I barely even 422 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 3: heard of Texas Tech Hat two Duke HAT four Perdue 423 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 3: was the only team that had five Startersagy. 424 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: Has three freshman starters on their team, which is absolutely 425 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: crazy in this time with the portal because right now 426 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: you don't even have to recruit high school kids. They're 427 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 2: the ones that are really going to get it rough 428 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: because you could just go to the portal and get 429 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 2: kids that have played two years of college or when 430 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 2: you're a college just bring them on your team. 431 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 3: I think that that is where maybe some men majors 432 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 3: can make some hay where they can say, hey, you're 433 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: a freshman, come play here, and we're gonna give you 434 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 3: more money out of our budget than what you're gonna 435 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 3: get anywhere else, right, right, because and you're gonna play right, 436 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 3: You don't have to go to say I'm just gonna 437 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 3: use this as a hypothetical claude. You don't have to 438 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 3: say you're an Arizona kid, right and you're a five 439 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 3: star recruit. But Arizona's got, you know, three guys that 440 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 3: are coming in out of the portal. Well Arizona State 441 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 3: or out of Northern Arizona might be able to say, hey, 442 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 3: you play right now. You know you can come right 443 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 3: now and play. So I don't know, dude, I don't 444 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 3: think this is some sort that the portal's not new 445 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 3: inil is new. We've been dealing with it for five years. 446 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 3: I just feel like that suddenly we've started to have 447 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 3: some of the sport's biggest names step up and say, hey, 448 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 3: it's kind of ridiculous the timing and how things are 449 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 3: going right now, that's when. 450 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 2: Where all these kids are gonna go. What happens ones 451 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: that they can't find I'm a new home, nay place. 452 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 3: It's hop We've done this before. It Come on, we 453 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 3: don't have to do this bit again. We've done the 454 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: same thing for five years, Arnie. What happens to the 455 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 3: guys that don't have a home? They don't get to 456 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 3: play basketball. It was their choice to get in the portal. 457 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 3: If they can't find a place to play, they might 458 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 3: not end up at a school that was as good 459 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 3: as where they are. Boohoo, buckeroo. Who's your choice? Or 460 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 3: if you got school, or if you get processed and 461 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 3: you get booted out, well, guess what, you can probably 462 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: get an opportunity to play the place like Tulsa Iona 463 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 3: Northern Arizona, Florida Atlantic might ded not being the best 464 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 3: thing for you. I mean, I'm looking at these starting fives, 465 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 3: and I'm looking at guys from this Sweet sixteen graphic 466 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 3: that at NCAA Buzzer Beaters, probably Arnie's favorite website, and 467 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 3: you got guys from Duquine, Georgia, Southern Belmont, Iona Campbell, Oakland, 468 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 3: North Dakota State, Ohio. You that are starters Drexel on 469 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 3: teams that were in the Sweet sixteen. So whenever you're like, 470 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 3: what's going to happen to some of the guys who 471 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 3: don't find a place, there's a place for them if 472 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 3: they can play. If they can't play, maybe they shouldn't 473 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 3: have been a college basketball player anyway. I mean, I 474 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 3: don't have a lot of sympathy for him, to be 475 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 3: honest with you. 476 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 2: Come out to the University of Vermont. We take all kinds 477 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: out of here. 478 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: University of Vermont is literally the only one that I 479 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 3: don't see their logo here as a team. That's me 480 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 3: three of Florida Atlantic started. Remember where Floridatlantic was last year? Yeah, exactly, 481 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 3: Final four. Let's see one two, Well, two of their 482 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 3: starters in the third was on a final four team 483 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: this year. You know, one of them at Florida. I 484 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 3: think one of them at Tennessee. So it's is crazy. 485 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 3: It's crazy how that works out. But I mean, are 486 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 3: you worried about the long term viability of having good 487 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 3: tournament games? Is that a concern for you or No? 488 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 3: I look at it as a one year thing. 489 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: No. 490 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: I just think it's a one year thing. I don't 491 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 2: think that it will, you know, for the most part, 492 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 2: continue like this. I think we'll go back to having 493 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 2: the upsets. As for buzzer beaters, that has nothing to 494 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: do with TNIL or money or transfers or portal or 495 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 2: anything like that. So I it was just one year 496 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 2: that we have very few buzzer beaters. It just happened 497 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 2: that way. So there's, yeah, there's nothing you could do 498 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 2: about that. But as for Cinderella, I don't think it 499 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 2: kills Cinderella. It does hurt a little bit, though, Chris, 500 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 2: I think it does hurt the mid majors, sure, absolutely right. 501 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 2: But overall though, I think it's just this one year 502 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: where we just had a bad storm or the perfect storm, 503 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 2: however you want to call it, where we didn't have 504 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 2: the buzzer beaters. And we didn't have Cinderella. 505 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 3: Hey, did you consider North Carolina state of Cinderella last year? 506 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 2: Not really, but it was a semi you know, it 507 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 2: was semi, not like the big sin like a George 508 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 2: Mason or anything like that. 509 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: So an eleven seed that wasn't in the tournament until 510 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 3: it won the ACC Tournament right that they did, isn't 511 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 3: a Cinderella to you because. 512 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 2: It's a it's a known school. I mean, they've they're 513 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 2: a big name, They've they've been there. 514 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: Listen, buddy, we're getting to the point where you're going 515 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 3: to know every single college basketball team. I mean we're 516 00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 3: just getting too that. I know there's five hundred of 517 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 3: them played Division one basketball, but the Saint Peter's was 518 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 3: about the biggest surprise to me. I don't many more 519 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 3: of those going forward, but we shall see. Because I 520 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 3: saw this tweet that had just come in from I 521 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,239 Speaker 3: guess this is what at Happy for Life seven, who 522 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 3: writes big Tournament fan here. I don't think I watched 523 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 3: any game from start to finish. Rather, especially in the 524 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 3: first two rounds, I tuned in it to five minutes 525 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 3: to go, Mark if the games were close. A total 526 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 3: dud for the most part. I mean, I don't think 527 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 3: anyone's really that different. I don't think people sit down 528 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 3: and watch games from start to finish on the first 529 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 3: two days of the NCAA tournament. I think they're flipping 530 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 3: around like crazy anyway. 531 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 2: Oh, I mean to finish that tweet, Stinking genius is 532 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: actually right about this one. 533 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not disagreeing with you though. That's 534 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 3: the whole point, right, I disagree with you all. I 535 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 3: just think you sit here and you have the same 536 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 3: two things that you say over and over and over. 537 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 3: You know what they are. 538 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 2: What were the kids gonna go play if they don't? 539 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no. Buzzer beaters and Cinderella's that's all 540 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 3: you got about. Why the tournament's now any good this year? 541 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 3: I mean, it's like, dude, we haven't had great games, 542 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 3: just we haven't. We haven't had and a buzzer beater. Hey, 543 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 3: Purdue Houston had a buzzer beat against Purdue. Did you 544 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 3: try to watch that game? 545 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 5: Right? 546 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 3: That was a terrible basketball game. 547 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 2: But even before the game started though, I told you 548 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 2: when they released the list on Sunday that I'm just 549 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 2: not feeling the madness. 550 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 3: But they gave feel the madness heading into it because 551 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 3: you didn't watch college basketball. No, no, no shit. 552 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 2: But I gave you a couple of reasons for that. 553 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: I said I didn't like the matchups. I didn't find 554 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: a lot of them very intriguing. I gave you grief 555 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: about the city. I heard other coaches gave you grief 556 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 2: about cities and the fans can't go to first round 557 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: games and stuff like that. 558 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 4: I don't know what it was. 559 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 2: I'm just telling I. 560 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 3: Felt you don't watch college basketball. 561 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 4: I do. I watched a lot of the Big twelve 562 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 4: this year, do well. 563 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 3: I'm just telling you don't watch it like you normally 564 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 3: did or do, and none of us do. It's just there. 565 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 3: I never freaking know when games are on. The Big 566 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 3: Ten's playing games on Sunday. Aren't he and Friday nights doing? Right? Now? 567 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 3: You know, give my Saturday and by one weeknight game 568 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 3: and we're good to go. And you can even your 569 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 3: serious like I didn't like the matchups? Really, what didn't 570 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 3: you like about the matchups? I mean, are you? Are 571 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 3: you being honest with yourself? Are you just trying to 572 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 3: find something to grinch? Because I look at the matchups 573 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 3: and nine out of ten times, that's when I finally 574 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 3: start to learn about, Oh, what kind of season did 575 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 3: Creighton have or what kind of season did I don't 576 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 3: know New Mexico have had you watch the Lobos this year? 577 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 2: There's got to look I was right on it. So 578 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 2: there's got to be a reason why I was right. 579 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: I mean, heck, Cou's sitting there telling you before everything started, 580 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 2: before there was one game, I'm not feeling the madness, 581 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: I'm not feeling the matchups. 582 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 4: I'm not feeling this. 583 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 3: But you're saying all this, and they had the highest 584 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 3: rated first two rounds that they've ever had, so you 585 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 3: might not be feeling it, and you're telling everyone the 586 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 3: game sucked. 587 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 2: Well, I was right, though, I turned out to be 588 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 2: right about everything. A lot of people again, a lot 589 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 2: of people. Can you say you were right whenever they 590 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 2: were the highest rated games. 591 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 3: I want to disagreeing with your watch, but it's acting 592 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 3: like nobody you watch the games you are wrong. 593 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 2: But let me say this. If we watched the Super 594 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 2: Bowl the score was one hundred to nothing, and we 595 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 2: came on that day and said, boy, that was the 596 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 2: worst super Bowl. It sucked. It was over after two minutes. Sure, 597 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 2: but still people watch it though there's still got high 598 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 2: numbers for it. 599 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 3: Though they wouldn't have the highest, aren't he. 600 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 2: Not the highest? But they do well? 601 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 3: No, they would. If it was one hundred to nothing, 602 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 3: there would be nobody watching the game by the fourth 603 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 3: quarter except for the fans, unless they were watching to 604 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 3: see if they could get to one hundred and ten. 605 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 3: Maybe they would have had an over. That was crazy 606 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 3: at that point. Come on, no one is getting a 607 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 3: hungred one. No one is disagreeing with you that they've 608 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 3: been bad tournament games. But to pretend like no one's watching, 609 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 3: it's just wrong. 610 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 2: No. No, I didn't say nobody was watching. I said 611 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 2: even you can't tell when you tune into the games 612 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 2: that they're not gonna be buzzer beaters or upset, so 613 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 2: it shouldn't have a factor. And how many people are watching. 614 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 3: Again, they would tune out. There would be erosion as 615 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 3: the games roll on. Do we have to Steve Disager 616 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 3: comes rolling in because I'm gonna throw things to the 617 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 3: tire dot com studios because I don't disagree with you, 618 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: but you're like making this point where I mean, people 619 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 3: are they're going to turn out when games are bad. 620 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 3: We see this happen with every sport. 621 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 6: So you've heard Arnie on the show before. 622 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 3: Wow, I'm not disagreeing with him, and yet he's trying 623 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 3: to make a point where I'm like, I don't think 624 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 3: you're right about this. 625 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 6: By the way, you mentioned New Mexico Richard Patino left 626 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 6: to get the Xavier coaching job. New Mexico today hired 627 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 6: a new coach, Eric Olan, who just led uc San 628 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 6: Diego into the tournament. FYI, the New Mexico Lobos did 629 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 6: beat UCLA early this season in Vegas. But if you 630 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 6: want bad basketball, and I'm speaking as someone who watches 631 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 6: women's sports and is watching this tournament, some of these 632 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 6: women's tournament games are at just one big yikes. I 633 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 6: mean we had a Sweet sixteen with Duke against North Carolina, 634 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 6: I mean the two rivals in the national tournament, and 635 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 6: the final was forty seven to thirty eight. Duke advanced 636 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 6: by shooting thirty one percent from the floor. Tar Heels 637 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 6: were at twenty eight percent from the floor. The winning 638 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 6: team was five of twenty four from three point range. 639 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 6: On the men's side, we have over three hundred and 640 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 6: fifty Division one programs just for the record, who was 641 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 6: by far the best offense in Division one college basketball 642 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 6: this year? 643 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 3: It was Alabama? 644 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, I was today Alabama ninety one points a game. 645 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 6: What did they get last night? Sixty five points against 646 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 6: Duke yet again, and we see this all the time 647 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 6: in football, including Super Bowls. Good pitching, beats, good hitting. 648 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 6: We hear that it's the defense usually comes on top. 649 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 6: I mean, how many times will be seen boys? Sean 650 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 6: mcvays rams, what a great offense up Belichick's defense and 651 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 6: they have three points in the fourth quarter. My goodness, 652 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 6: that Peyton manning Broncos off ep Seattle's great defense. That's 653 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 6: you know, on and on Mahomes against Tampa Bay's defense, 654 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 6: on and on, and a caveat about the opening day 655 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 6: of this year's men's tournament getting the biggest TV ratings ever. 656 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 6: A that's just since twenty eleven when the current format began. 657 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 6: And for the Apple tri Apps there you go, there, 658 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 6: you go to Seger second. They didn't used to measure 659 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 6: out of home viewing. Now, oh my goodness, that is 660 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 6: part of the ratings now. So theoretically, you know, we 661 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 6: had well, who was at Arkansas's first round win when 662 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 6: they beat Kansas. That was the highest rated first round 663 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 6: game quote ever with six point three million viewers. There's 664 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 6: no way realistically that got a larger TV audience than 665 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 6: Zion Williamson's first round game with Duke. But that was 666 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 6: pre twenty twenty. That was before the out of home 667 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 6: viewing was considered as for. 668 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 3: The end, and before they started adding in every single 669 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 3: freaking channel that had the game. 670 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 6: Yes, it didn't used to have the same game on 671 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 6: two to three channels at the same time and then 672 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 6: add them up before absolutely then the streaming. Now Duke 673 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 6: Arizona on Thursday got six and a half million viewers. 674 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 4: Wow, that is the. 675 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 6: Tournament is doing well. That was just down from last year. 676 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 6: That's all compared to regular TV. Those are super herb numbers. 677 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 6: The Alabama blowout that night at BYU that was almost 678 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 6: six million viewers, again down from a year ago, but 679 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 6: still superb according to regular TV. We do have Auburn 680 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 6: and Houston advancing to the men's Final four. Yes, Houston's 681 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 6: going to San Antonio the one seed. Houston Cougar's won 682 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 6: the Midwest Region Final, beating up Tennessee sixty nine to fifty. 683 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 6: The lead was twenty nine to eight late in the 684 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 6: first half. Number one seed in the South, Auburn eliminated 685 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 6: Michigan State seventy to sixty four in Atlanta.

So the wow, 777 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 3: it's a lot, But no, I mean, listen, first of all, 778 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 3: portal's not new. Guys. Not staying in college isn't new. 779 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 3: It's just it's not. It's been different for a long time, 780 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 3: and we survived, and we have survived with buzzer beaters 781 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,959 Speaker 3: and Cinderella's with the one in don era and guys 782 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 3: skipping college. I think we're gonna f find a way 783 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 3: to still have Arnie's beloved buzzer beaters in Cinderella in 784 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 3: the NIL and transfer portal era. Because again a reminder, 785 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 3: we are in the fifth year of NIL in the 786 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 3: Transfer portal and this is the first time that we've 787 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 3: had something like this with Chalk. So again, we'll see 788 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 3: if it ends up sticking and is a problem. And 789 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 3: if it is, then I guess we'll just end up 790 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 3: getting the best teams that ended up making the final four.

In the NCAA tournament, 806 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 3: Yankees have new bats. And I've never even thought about 807 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 3: it before, but apparently they had an M. I. T. 808 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 3: Physicist right who was it Marlin's coach right, and now 809 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 3: has created these torpedo bats. Thought you let me give 810 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 3: you Let. 811 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 2: Me back up a little bit here, because I said 812 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 2: something to you a long long time. 813 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 3: Ago my god. Okay, this goes back to already telling 814 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 3: us the future go ahead. 815 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 2: No, no, And you kind of laughed at it, and I'm like, 816 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 2: I'm being serious because I spoke to the people from 817 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,399 Speaker 2: Louisville Slugger. I had done a remote and they had 818 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 2: come out. This was in Phoenix and it it was 819 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 2: an unbelievable remote. They were fixing the kid's gloves and 820 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 2: stuff like that, but that's beside the point. And he 821 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 2: was explaining to me how they make bats a little 822 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 2: bit different for left hands because of the grain of 823 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 2: the wood. And I'm like, get aie, there's no difference 824 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 2: left hander the right hander. And he really tried to 825 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 2: explain to me how the grain and he showed me 826 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 2: the thing, and ever since then, I'm like, man, there's 827 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 2: gotta be other ways to manipulate the bat, but I'm 828 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 2: just not smart enough to think. And finally it comes around. 829 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 2: I think this is the craziest thing I ever heard 830 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 2: in my life. First of all, it took me a 831 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 2: while to kind of find the picture. I didn't, you know, 832 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 2: there's so many memes out there. I'm like, is this it? 833 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 5: Wait? 834 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 2: But I can't be it. You know, Jason does a 835 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 2: picture of the big red plastic bat. That's all I 836 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 2: think about now, is that people going up there with 837 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 2: those big, you know, barrel red bats or you know, 838 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 2: like there are softball bats or something. I can't believe 839 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 2: it's taken this long to do something like that. And Chris, 840 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 2: I don't even fully understand what exactly they did. They 841 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 2: moved the sweet spot or the sweet spot's not where 842 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 2: the logo is, and I'm like, who came up with 843 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 2: this stuff? And I think it's boloney. I think all 844 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,479 Speaker 2: the other teams are gonna have to do it now, Chris. 845 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 2: You know that because the Yikes just had a tremendous 846 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 2: opening three games that was out of this world. 847 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 4: So everybody else is going to have to do this. 848 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 2: I don't think you can now go back to the 849 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 2: old way, So you're just gonna have to make bats 850 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:14,879 Speaker 2: like this from now on. 851 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Yankees, whether they scored twelve today in a 852 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 3: twelve to three win, whether they had twenty the other night, 853 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 3: I guess they didn't use the torpedo bats in the 854 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 3: opener when they went four to two. But here's here's 855 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 3: my question to you. What kind of adjustment is it 856 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 3: for the players? In their swing, Like, how does it 857 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 3: feel different? Is what I need to know. Everyone's everyone's 858 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 3: kind of made minimal. I guess you could say, uh 859 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 3: a hubbu or fuss about that, but right, I mean 860 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 3: all of us have swung a bat at some point 861 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 3: before in our life, and you know, depending on what 862 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 3: you were, maybe you needed like a thirty four inch 863 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 3: bat and twenty eight ounces or whatever whenever you were 864 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 3: a kid or you know whatever, it might be like, 865 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 3: this has got to have a different feel to your swing, 866 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 3: right whenever you're it has to. 867 00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 2: I don't know if you're saying maybe it feels a 868 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 2: little bit heavier or a little bit. 869 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 3: What just anything would affect your swing plane, right. 870 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 2: I would think I would think that you probably go 871 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 2: down in size or down in ways. 872 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 3: Well, they claim the bats are custom made to player preferences, 873 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 3: and if you want to really nerd out, they're designed 874 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 3: so that the densest part of the bat is where 875 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 3: that particular hitter most often makes contact with the baseball. 876 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of analytics and stats and numbers 877 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,919 Speaker 3: and things like that to go into it. Now, MLB 878 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 3: has said it doesn't break any rules. 879 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 4: How can that be possible? 880 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 2: I don't know just what. At some point, I just 881 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 2: don't know how that's possible, how you could realter a 882 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 2: piece of equipment and say, yeah, that's good, that's good 883 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 2: to go, you know what I mean? You know what, 884 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna make my baseball glove like twice the 885 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 2: size of everybody else's to make sure I could catch 886 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:52,399 Speaker 2: the ball or something. 887 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 3: Griz, boy, that would be brilliant, wouldn't it just already? 888 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 3: Span You're out there with like this massive glove in 889 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 3: the outfield because there's no rules against it. Well, you guys, 890 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 3: I know, have thoughts on it. We see it all 891 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 3: over Twitter at Steinking Genius Wanted Plank Show. But according 892 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 3: to Major League Baseball, the only thing that the rules 893 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 3: say is the bats shall be shall be smooth, round 894 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 3: and no more than two point six inches in diameter 895 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 3: to the thickest part, and not more than forty two 896 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 3: inches long. There you go, there's the only rules. So far, 897 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,800 Speaker 3: the Yankees are playing by the rules.

So with that in mind, I think 1001 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 3: that the highest point total combined between hosts should take 1002 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 3: over the lowest point total time slot. 1003 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 6: How about a little relegation like. 1004 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, listen, LeVar Arrington's in DFL right now, 1005 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 3: in our leg But I think I think they're being 1006 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 3: saved by noted basketball guru Brady Quinn right now, who's 1007 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 3: number three. But if you put Covino in Rich's numbers together, 1008 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 3: I don't even think they equal what you've made as 1009 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 3: far as points are concerned right now in this thing, 1010 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 3: and let's see what Jason Smith's kind of saving harmon 1011 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 3: a little bit too, because he's well down on this, 1012 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 3: so it looks like there's no relegation there. But I 1013 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,760 Speaker 3: think we would have case here, Arnie. I think I'm 1014 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 3: gonna win. 1015 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 2: I think you can win it, or I can still 1016 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:04,360 Speaker 2: win it. 1017 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 3: Leave's gonna win it. 1018 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 2: All is he gonna is too far ahead of right now? 1019 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 3: I think he's too far ahead. And I think as 1020 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,760 Speaker 3: far as his championship is concerned, he's got Duke in Florida, 1021 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,239 Speaker 3: and I just I don't know, you know, I don't 1022 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 3: nerd out to where I feel like I've had the 1023 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,320 Speaker 3: greatest year I've ever had picking games, and I'm nowhere 1024 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 3: near winning any of the pools that I'm in. 1025 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 2: I just got Leave to win it, no offense. Is 1026 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 2: that Does that sound mean? 1027 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 3: No? Why would that sound mean? 1028 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 4: I don't want him to win it? 1029 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:31,720 Speaker 6: So different than most of your comments. 1030 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 3: I know that. 1031 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to Sayga winning it either. I 1032 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 2: don't want I don't want winning it. 1033 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 7: This might just be me because my brackets and shambles, 1034 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 7: but I feel like this year, in particular, is a 1035 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 7: year where like I've just been kind of operating with 1036 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 7: the thought process that like, if you still have a 1037 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 7: really good bracket at this point, it's it's just completely 1038 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 7: I mean, obviously that's what it is. 1039 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 3: I thought about that. 1040 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 6: I know where you're going with it. I thought about 1041 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 6: that after previous pools in recent years the way college 1042 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 6: basketball has gone. But this year, people that are succeeding 1043 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 6: are picking good teams right exactly. But before used to 1044 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 6: get a lot of points by picking accidents, like I 1045 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 6: knew ten seed Arkansas. 1046 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw Youler, They're awesome, man, I knew and 1047 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:14,799 Speaker 3: they like never. 1048 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 6: Heard him becat Canyon won last year had that. 1049 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 3: Picking by like a mascot or so. I see what 1050 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,359 Speaker 3: you're saying, Ian, But whenever it's all chalk. I don't 1051 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 3: know if you can say that right. If it's like 1052 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 3: thirteen eight nine, then maybe you might be like, wow, 1053 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 3: you lucked into that. But I mean put it this way. 1054 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 6: The Houston Cougars are in the Final four, and they've 1055 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,800 Speaker 6: played the toughest possible seed every round and beat them all. 1056 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 6: They have a possibility of being the first to do 1057 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 6: that every round if they get a couple of one 1058 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 6: seeds in the final four. It's like Oregon in the 1059 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,239 Speaker 6: college football playoffs. They just had the worst, they got 1060 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 6: the worst champions. 1061 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 2: Well, what did you say about us? Did they beat 1062 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 2: the highest seed. 1063 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 6: Highest possible seed? So you're face facing sixteen eight four one. 1064 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't get a break. Well, and honestly, you 1065 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,400 Speaker 3: didn't get too many breaks in this tournament as far 1066 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 3: as the higher seated teams are concerned. Anyway, there just 1067 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:09,720 Speaker 3: wasn't a lot of ups. 1068 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 6: Except they get to stay in state for the final four. 1069 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 6: That's the extend. 1070 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 3: That's true. That's true. And Arnie, you were talking about 1071 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 3: San Antonio to Houston, it's it's really not that that 1072 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 3: far at all. You're looking at three hours and thirty minutes, 1073 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 3: which is that walking? 1074 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 2: Oh driving? 1075 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 3: Okay, it's two hundred and thirty seven miles. I looked 1076 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 3: it up and having taken that root root route before, 1077 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 3: whichever way you'd call it, it's a you're gonna sit 1078 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 3: in traffic for a while, so three and a half 1079 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 3: hours might be like four or four. And now have 1080 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 3: you been to San Antonio before? 1081 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 4: I've been there once before. 1082 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 3: Too many people, and I mean, I'm just telling you, 1083 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 3: I don't know how you guys get around on a 1084 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 3: day to day basis. And I love you and you're 1085 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 3: beautiful and you're awesome, but when you have an event 1086 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 3: like this too many people, it's just gonna be wid. 1087 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 6: You gotta swim the riverwalk. That's really how you make. 1088 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 3: Hey oh man. Well, anyway, we'll talk more tournament coming 1089 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 3: up here on Fox Sports Radio, but for now the show, 1090 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 3: Arni and Plank in good shape. As far as the 1091 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,280 Speaker 3: bracket challenge is concerned. Do you not like the idea 1092 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 3: of relative I mean, you're the boss, right, don't you 1093 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:13,840 Speaker 3: call the shots? 1094 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 2: I think the bottom three should go ahead and be, 1095 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,240 Speaker 2: you know, lose their show, no offense. I'm gonna miss them. 1096 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,439 Speaker 2: But if you're that bad, we've got to go ahead. 1097 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 2: Should you just a dead Patrick in the bottom Well 1098 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:29,320 Speaker 2: he is. He got surpassed by LeVar Arrington. So you're saying, 1099 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 2: instead of going with two guys, you're going every man 1100 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,840 Speaker 2: for themselves. And you're saying, like, for now, Rich Davis, 1101 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 2: Dan Patrick and LeVar Arrington being I guess what we 1102 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,759 Speaker 2: have thirty three host hit are in this? What thro 1103 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 2: a cup of Joe and Arnie? That's enough to be 1104 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:45,759 Speaker 2: then there you go. 1105 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean you're not in the top three though, 1106 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 3: so it would be gottlieb Curry and Fratto. 1107 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:52,280 Speaker 2: So it would be Bernie. 1108 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 3: It would be a cup of Joe a pro a 1109 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 3: cup of Joe and Bertie Fratto. Okay, look at me, 1110 00:48:59,080 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 3: there you go. 1111 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 2: I love it. 1112 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 3: But see I was going for the teammates. I was 1113 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 3: going for you. Just went every man for themselves. 1114 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 2: I have three of the four teams in the final four, 1115 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,359 Speaker 2: so I would have had all four. 1116 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 4: I don't know why I didn't take Houston. 1117 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:13,759 Speaker 2: I don't know what I did wrong there. 1118 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 3: Well, I mean I've got all four. I had all eight. 1119 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 3: I've never had a picking situation like this before, and 1120 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 3: I'm still. 1121 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 4: Only three points ahead of Meat. 1122 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 3: It's just it makes no sense. I didn't have I 1123 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,800 Speaker 3: didn't all my upsets didn't hit U, C C and Diego. 1124 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 3: I didn't really believe in your in your Arizona Wildcat, 1125 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 3: so I had Oregon beating them. In fact, I think 1126 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 3: I had them losing in the first round. I believed 1127 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,839 Speaker 3: in VCU a little bit too much too. I think 1128 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,239 Speaker 3: I got drunk on someone telling me VCU was good. 1129 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 3: So those are my two major mistakes that I made. 1130 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 3: But I look at this and I'm like, how how? Oh, 1131 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I had seven of the Elite eight teams 1132 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,479 Speaker 3: for I had by you, and you also had tech 1133 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 3: going far, which I was impressed with. Good on you. 1134 00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 3: Was that just because of the Big Twelve time? 1135 00:49:59,560 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 5: Yes? 1136 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 3: This year? 1137 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,280 Speaker 2: I saw so much of the Big Twelve this year, 1138 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 2: a lot more than when I used to watch the 1139 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 2: Pack twelve, to be honest with you, Chris, because the 1140 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,720 Speaker 2: Back twelve was such crazy hours, right, it was just horrible. 1141 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 2: But the Big Twelve was a lot more good time 1142 00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,240 Speaker 2: out right, Yeah, exactly. 1143 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,399 Speaker 3: And they'll do it where the Big Ten does their 1144 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 3: games on unique days, they'll do them in odd times like, hey, 1145 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:23,399 Speaker 3: welcome the Big Ten game. 1146 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,440 Speaker 4: Were there were some good teams in the Big twelve 1147 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 4: this year? 1148 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1149 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 2: There was five six? 1150 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 3: It was all right. So we got basketball and we 1151 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 3: got baseball that I want to hit here on the 1152 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,360 Speaker 3: text before we get to Todd Furman.

Yes, but the portal's brand new? Are the 1159 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,399 Speaker 3: portals not brand new? It's been what it's like.

Yeah, it's 1163 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 3: not like it used to be where you had to 1164 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,319 Speaker 3: sit out. I'm not a dummy, dude, but we've had 1165 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,000 Speaker 3: the portal the way it is for five freaking years. Man. 1166 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 2: You know I did. I didn't explain myself good enough. 1167 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 2: So when you jump down my throat, so let me 1168 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,480 Speaker 2: just see if I this is maybe a better way 1169 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 2: of all the people that entered the portal. Right, these 1170 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,920 Speaker 2: kids are gonna go to a better situation. 1171 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:25,840 Speaker 3: They think a lot of. 1172 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 4: Them are gonna may possible most. 1173 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:30,760 Speaker 3: Can I jump in just wrik with what they to clarify, 1174 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 3: some of these guys are in the portal, not by 1175 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:37,240 Speaker 3: their choice, sometimes to exactly exactly. 1176 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,239 Speaker 2: But you know, I think of the portal, I think 1177 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,439 Speaker 2: of a lot of mid majors where these kids look 1178 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 2: good and played well for their team, and they're going 1179 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 2: into a Power five conference or something like that. Now, 1180 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 2: these kids that didn't get to play in the Power 1181 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 2: five conference, as you said that, get booted. 1182 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:54,919 Speaker 4: And I keep saying where they going to play? 1183 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 2: Shouldn't it circle back around and they should be at 1184 00:51:58,520 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 2: the mid major? 1185 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:00,200 Speaker 4: Saying, well, if. 1186 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sit the bench at the majors, so 1187 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,120 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to a mid major, I'm gonna play. 1188 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 2: I'm gonna dominate, and we'll see what happens after that. 1189 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 3: Sometimes they're just not that good, you know. I mean, 1190 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 3: it's just and they don't develop like they should. I mean, 1191 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:15,480 Speaker 3: that's just the reality. 1192 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 5: Right. 1193 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 3: Not everyone that goes to Arizona that they recruit or 1194 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,360 Speaker 3: that they sign becomes and I'm just using this because 1195 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 3: I feel like you can relate, becomes Sean Elliott or 1196 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 3: Steve Kerr or Arnie Spanier or Damon Stodomar. Right, Sometimes 1197 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 3: you get a guy where they they're supposed to be 1198 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 3: going and you're like, oh my gosh, this guy stinks. 1199 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 3: And so even if he goes to Tulsa or Wichtaw 1200 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,560 Speaker 3: State or wherever, he's still not very good. So I 1201 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,879 Speaker 3: see what you're saying. I'm not disagreeing with you. You would think, right, oh, 1202 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 3: you got processed at Georgia. Well, I can't wait to 1203 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,240 Speaker 3: see it dominate it Tennessee Tech. Right. It doesn't always 1204 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,839 Speaker 3: work out that way, but I hear what you're saying, 1205 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,279 Speaker 3: and you would think it might in my work. I 1206 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,360 Speaker 3: think again, I think the Men Majors are going to 1207 00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,600 Speaker 3: be a place where high school kids ended up. 1208 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:00,879 Speaker 4: Right about that? 1209 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 2: I didn't think about that. I don't know if you, Well, again, 1210 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 2: we're not talking about the high ones like McDonald's all Americans. 1211 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:08,520 Speaker 3: They're still gonna go to power fight. 1212 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,839 Speaker 2: Well, there's so many high school kids, right about that? 1213 00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:11,719 Speaker 2: Exactly right? 1214 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 3: And then the other text and I wanted to get 1215 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,760 Speaker 3: to from Darryl. He's fired up about the the baseball 1216 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 3: bats and and I guess maybe I didn't realize how 1217 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,160 Speaker 3: mad people were about this. He writes, I'm so glad 1218 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,360 Speaker 3: you dudes are talking these baseball bats. This is absurd. 1219 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,960 Speaker 3: Let me get this straight. We can't shift infielders, but 1220 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 3: we can pick and choose where the sweet spot and 1221 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,840 Speaker 3: the sweet part of the bat will be. This is absurd. 1222 00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 3: Man fraud is the worst than Batman ever was. 1223 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 2: We're not absurd about the pitch clock. That's kind of 1224 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 2: out of this. 1225 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 3: That's been nice. 1226 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been great, it's been fantastic. But that when 1227 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,240 Speaker 2: we first heard about it, we're like, what if God's 1228 00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,680 Speaker 2: not gonna work. There's gonna be one second left there, 1229 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,640 Speaker 2: you canna only throw over twice. They're gonna be stealing bases. 1230 00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 2: How's this all gonna work? Chris, I don't understand. But 1231 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 2: it's worked out fantastic, and that's that's really changed the 1232 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:03,879 Speaker 2: game big time. 1233 00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I think you're right. I think you're right. 1234 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,840 Speaker 3: But and I'll add, you know, it's not every Yankee 1235 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,520 Speaker 3: that's using it, and I think Aaron Judge isn't using it. 1236 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,759 Speaker 3: So you know, there's this thing where it's like, oh 1237 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 3: my gosh, every guy And then. 1238 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,239 Speaker 4: Why would you use it? 1239 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 3: Though? 1240 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:18,919 Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you use it? 1241 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 3: Well, like I said, I don't know, man, maybe there's 1242 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 3: a certain field to it that Aaron Judge doesn't like. 1243 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,399 Speaker 3: Are a couple guys might not like. Guys get set 1244 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 3: in their way. I mean, and sometimes you know, you're 1245 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,840 Speaker 3: telling me the pictures aren't already working on a way 1246 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,359 Speaker 3: to combat that. I mean, maybe maybe there's a chance 1247 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 3: you can jam them up a little bit more, and 1248 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 3: they're more vulnerable whenever you try to come inside. I 1249 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:41,360 Speaker 3: don't know, I don't know. 1250 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 2: You know what's changed over the years is the way 1251 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:47,239 Speaker 2: you hold the bat. I remember the days of fields beyond. 1252 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 2: You would know who that is, Chris who used to 1253 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,839 Speaker 2: choke up with the bat like I mean, oh my goodness, man, 1254 00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:53,880 Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about? 1255 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 8: It? 1256 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? Really choice? 1257 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,759 Speaker 2: And then there was well, I forget which player he 1258 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 2: would have his pinky wrapped around the bottom of these? 1259 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:04,720 Speaker 3: Is that Dave Parker or Willie Stargel, I don't remember. 1260 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:06,399 Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about? 1261 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,239 Speaker 2: Y is pinky around the bottom knob? I'm like, what 1262 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 2: are you doing? How you getting a grip on that? 1263 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 3: I got a lot of players do that? 1264 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:14,440 Speaker 4: Oh really? 1265 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah? Well, and again I say that what I 1266 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,799 Speaker 3: see it a lot in like youth baseball. I'm not 1267 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 3: even kidding, dude, I see it all. Yeah, whenever, like 1268 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:24,800 Speaker 3: high school baseball, college baseball. 1269 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:25,920 Speaker 2: Well, why you would want to do that? 1270 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,239 Speaker 3: No, don't know a lot of people do. Oh and 1271 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,880 Speaker 3: slow pitch softball too. So when we come back to 1272 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,600 Speaker 3: the tirack dot Com, studios.

All right, it's already in Plank, 1294 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,920 Speaker 3: coming to you live from the tyrack dot com studios. 1295 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,320 Speaker 3: He is back, Todd Furman is in the house. Glad 1296 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 3: to have you back. Todd missed you last week. So 1297 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,279 Speaker 3: has it been a good tournament as far as the 1298 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 3: books are concerned? Or where are we whenever it comes 1299 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 3: to whether or not this has been a profitable one 1300 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:49,600 Speaker 3: or not for the books. 1301 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 8: Well, when you look at some of the numbers, if 1302 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,600 Speaker 8: we go back throughout the NCAA tournament and look at 1303 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 8: the biggest conferences at college basketball, the ACC, the SEC, 1304 00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 8: the Big Ten, et cetera rich gentleman of six points 1305 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,400 Speaker 8: or more during the months of March now sixty five 1306 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,439 Speaker 8: and three from a straight up standpoint, So that puts 1307 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 8: the books in a little bit of a tough spot. 1308 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:10,920 Speaker 8: They're getting some of these underdogs to cover from an 1309 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 8: ATS standpoint, But they would have loved Texas Tech to 1310 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,480 Speaker 8: win their game outright against Florida had the Red Raiders 1311 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 8: not squandering away that nine point lead. So a little 1312 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,400 Speaker 8: bit of a mixed bag for the most part. Today's 1313 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 8: results not exactly great for the house in terms of 1314 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 8: Auburn getting there, but surprisingly enough, you had a lot 1315 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 8: of folks that fell in love with Tennessee given what 1316 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 8: they saw offensively in that dismantling of Kentucky and the 1317 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,840 Speaker 8: Elite eight matchups. So I expect the Houston game was 1318 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,440 Speaker 8: a pretty good result, at least from a couple of 1319 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 8: books that I spoke to earlier today. 1320 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 2: Todd, they never give fair enough odds on moneyline when 1321 00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,520 Speaker 2: it comes to this. I mean, when you're like a 1322 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 2: six or seven point dog, they don't give you true 1323 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 2: value when it comes to money line. If they did, 1324 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 2: more people would be betting it. 1325 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 1: Well. 1326 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,000 Speaker 8: I mean, there's always an implied probability with all of that, Arnie. 1327 00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 8: So if you don't believe there's a fair money line 1328 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 8: on the underdog, then you always have the option to 1329 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 8: lay the price with the favorite. Now and of course 1330 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 8: decide how they want to set up a straddle on 1331 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,280 Speaker 8: a particular game. You know, is it forty cents, is 1332 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 8: it sixty cents? And as you start to approach you 1333 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 8: know that seven, eight, nine, ten range, it's a little 1334 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 8: wider in terms of an implied theoretical hole. But there 1335 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 8: is always the option that if you want to bet 1336 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,440 Speaker 8: a favorite on the money line, you can do that 1337 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 8: the same way you can back an underdog. So all 1338 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 8: of it's largely a mathematical calculation and books will find, 1339 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,160 Speaker 8: you know, that equilibrium point. So when that number got 1340 00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 8: a little bit shorter earlier day on Houston, you did 1341 00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 8: have some professional betters looking to lay that minus a 1342 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,880 Speaker 8: dollar forty five minus a dollar fifty on Houston, thinking 1343 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 8: that that was a better way to attack a game 1344 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 8: with such a low total, with Houston only a three 1345 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 8: point favorite. 1346 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,520 Speaker 3: So has it been, in your opinion, a good tournament 1347 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,640 Speaker 3: or just a met tournament so far as far as 1348 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,560 Speaker 3: excitement and profitability, You. 1349 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 8: Know, I'm always wanting to find at least one Cinderella 1350 00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,840 Speaker 8: story somewhere in the mix, and we haven't really had 1351 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,360 Speaker 8: all of that. When you look at eleven teams and 1352 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 8: turn lower seeds have actually won games outright, you know, 1353 00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,880 Speaker 8: it's the lowest number that we've seen in March Madness. Now, 1354 00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 8: maybe it's the sign of the time that when we 1355 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 8: talked about parody in the nil landscape, we're not going 1356 00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 8: to see a whole heck of a lot of that 1357 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,640 Speaker 8: but at the same time, I think all four teams 1358 00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:09,400 Speaker 8: that are going to San Antonio with a chance to 1359 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 8: cut down the nets. You look at what their overall 1360 00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,880 Speaker 8: metrics are, and they're arguably four of the best teams 1361 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 8: if youse use their net rating that we've ever seen, 1362 00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 8: you know, not just in one season, but over the 1363 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,440 Speaker 8: last you know, fifteen to twenty years. So clearly the 1364 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 8: cream has risen to the top. And I think as 1365 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,800 Speaker 8: a result, any of the college basketball fans are out 1366 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 8: there are going to be treated to some of the 1367 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 8: best matchups on paper, with Houston and Duke a contrasting 1368 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 8: styles that we saw last year in the Sweet sixteen, 1369 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,480 Speaker 8: and an all SEC showdown between Auburn and Florida, especially 1370 00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 8: when you consider the unique storyline that Todd Golden was 1371 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 8: actually a director of basketball operations on Bruce Pearl's staff 1372 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:45,680 Speaker 8: way back in twenty fourteen. 1373 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,959 Speaker 2: I saw that That's a great story, dude. 1374 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 8: You bet hey, Arnie, Arnie one Arnie. One other thing too. 1375 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,200 Speaker 8: I mean, for every young Jewish man out there coaching, 1376 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,920 Speaker 8: I mean, this is going to be maybe the peak 1377 00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 8: of the mountain top with Todd Golden, Bruce Pearl, and 1378 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,520 Speaker 8: of course John Shire all members of the tribe. So 1379 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 8: there may be hope for you to be a college 1380 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,320 Speaker 8: basketball head coach before you. 1381 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 2: Hang things out exactly. You know, I used to watch 1382 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,360 Speaker 2: John Shire in high school. Our work was across the street. 1383 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 2: That guy was one score man. He was a hell 1384 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 2: of a player, no doubt about that. But Duke Houston, 1385 01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 2: when you mentioned the over under and how much Duke scores, 1386 01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 2: that's a low one thirty seven. And I know Houston 1387 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:23,920 Speaker 2: keeps it slow, but I don't know if they're going 1388 01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 2: to be able to do it against Duke. 1389 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 4: I love the over there. 1390 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 8: So it's some interesting numbers when we look at the 1391 01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 8: Houston Duke Houston and Duke matchup. The total right now 1392 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 8: where it's it'll be the lowest in a Duke game 1393 01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:37,520 Speaker 8: going back to February seventeenth, where that total closed a 1394 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,840 Speaker 8: little bit lower against Virginia. This is actually the smallest 1395 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,920 Speaker 8: number from a point spread standpoint, that we've seen on 1396 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 8: a Duke game going all the way back to November 1397 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 8: twenty sixth. But for those folks who look at Houston 1398 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,440 Speaker 8: and think they're a little bit undervalued, you can understand 1399 01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,440 Speaker 8: why that case is being made is it's only the 1400 01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 8: second game that Houston will end up closing as an underdog. 1401 01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 8: Over the last three seasons, and when you look at 1402 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,720 Speaker 8: Duke and the resume that they've put together, the Duke 1403 01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 8: hasn't played one defense ranked inside the top twenty five. 1404 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,280 Speaker 8: They played one excuse me, defense ranked inside the top 1405 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,840 Speaker 8: twenty five since the turn of the calendar year. That 1406 01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 8: one opponent was Clemson at number seventeen. That also just 1407 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 8: happens to be the last time Duke Glosta basketball game 1408 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,720 Speaker 8: outright as an eight point favorite. So interesting match up 1409 01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,439 Speaker 8: on a variety of fronts, and I think the big 1410 01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,000 Speaker 8: question ken Houston's score enough. But at the same time, 1411 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 8: we'll do be ready for a game that could be 1412 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 8: a lot more physical than anything that they've encountered over 1413 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 8: the last three months. 1414 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,560 Speaker 3: So I don't know how much Todd do you care 1415 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 3: about the Kimpom, but I guess in the history of 1416 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 3: the expanded Tournament and even further like maybe in the 1417 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,439 Speaker 3: history of the kim Pom ratings zero, these are their 1418 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 3: four highest rated teams, are among the four highest rated 1419 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 3: teams that we've ever had. I think it sets up 1420 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,560 Speaker 3: for a pretty epic final four. Now. Kimpom Stuff Analytics 1421 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 3: I'm a little bit dumb for some of those things, 1422 01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 3: but I know a lot of smart people talk about it. 1423 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,320 Speaker 3: So when you have four teams that have been extremely 1424 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 3: high in their ratings offense and defensive ability, I think 1425 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:00,600 Speaker 3: that's a sign that we could have a really, really 1426 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 3: solid final four. 1427 01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,919 Speaker 8: Definitely some of the more complete teams that we've seen 1428 01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:07,280 Speaker 8: in recent memory. And you know, a couple of years 1429 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 8: ago and we had an fau get to the final 1430 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,040 Speaker 8: four of San Diego State and no disrespect meant to 1431 01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,760 Speaker 8: what Dusty May was able to do leading the owls there. 1432 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,040 Speaker 8: Or San Diego State has kind of become, you know, 1433 01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 8: the gold standard of Mountain West basketball. There's a little 1434 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,080 Speaker 8: bit more pedigree in the four teams that we're going 1435 01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 8: to see here, and Florida and Auburn, you know, have 1436 01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 8: earned their metal and the same thing can be said 1437 01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,880 Speaker 8: for Duke and Houston. So I'll have one team hailing 1438 01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,480 Speaker 8: from the SEC and we'll see who emerges from that 1439 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 8: ECC Big twelve showdown. Keep in mind that this Florida 1440 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 8: Auburn game, at least where the total sits right now, 1441 01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:39,680 Speaker 8: you know, in the low one sixties, could be one 1442 01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,520 Speaker 8: of the largest over unders that we see in an 1443 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,680 Speaker 8: NCAA tournament game at this deep into the tournament since 1444 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 8: two thousand and seven. 1445 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,600 Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, I know the Alabama one was pretty high, 1446 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,320 Speaker 2: so that copy by surprise. 1447 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 4: Let's get over to some Major League baseball. 1448 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 2: If I got to ask you in about a month 1449 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 2: from now, isay, Todd, if you would have been one 1450 01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:00,160 Speaker 2: hundred dollars on the Dodgers on the money line every game, 1451 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:01,880 Speaker 2: you'd be up like five million dollars. 1452 01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:03,400 Speaker 4: I want to be that guy, Todd. 1453 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 2: They're already five and oh, I want to be that 1454 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,760 Speaker 2: guy that you're going to say that a month from now. 1455 01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,040 Speaker 8: I mean, look, you were asking me if you could 1456 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 8: get odds on the Dodgers to go one hundred and 1457 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,320 Speaker 8: sixty two at oh Arni Bros. They're only right now, 1458 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,960 Speaker 8: by my quick math, one hundred and fifty seven games 1459 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 8: away from being able to achieve that impossibility. So it's 1460 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,760 Speaker 8: still out there very much that Dodgers could run the table. 1461 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,800 Speaker 8: But clearly, at least to the early going, they have 1462 01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 8: shown some of their metal and depth from the top 1463 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,160 Speaker 8: of the lineup on down. We'll see exactly when Roki 1464 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:35,320 Speaker 8: Sasaki starts to pitch like the player that the Dodgers 1465 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,480 Speaker 8: expected him to be. But this is every baseball fans 1466 01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 8: prerogative to overreact in March and April, and clearly this 1467 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 8: not an indicative sample size of what we're going to 1468 01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,320 Speaker 8: see from any of these teams going forward, although the 1469 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 8: Dodgers have done nothing to create any panic amongst their 1470 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:50,200 Speaker 8: fan base. 1471 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 2: Can you believe there's only four teams undefeated after what 1472 01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:54,520 Speaker 2: three four games? 1473 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,120 Speaker 4: That's crazy, not. 1474 01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 8: Really that surprising in baseball when you look at how 1475 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,040 Speaker 8: much parody is at actually out there, and if a 1476 01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 8: good team can win two out of every three games, 1477 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,919 Speaker 8: it just puts things in perspective how difficult it really 1478 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,480 Speaker 8: is to sweep, especially early in the year, where you 1479 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 8: know a lot of players are still trying to get 1480 01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 8: their feet under them, and it's a little bit different 1481 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 8: when you're adjusting from spring training at the Dish compared 1482 01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,920 Speaker 8: to going out there and facing big time major league pitching. 1483 01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,160 Speaker 8: Although some of the pitchers, apparently, when you look at 1484 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,120 Speaker 8: some of these stat lines, may need a little bit 1485 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,320 Speaker 8: more time getting stretched out, being able to throw breaking balls, 1486 01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 8: and trying to get their velocity up in some of 1487 01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:28,760 Speaker 8: the colder temperatures. 1488 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 3: Todd real quick final thought, from me anything on the 1489 01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,840 Speaker 3: quarterback Parissel the last few weeks, do anything for you, 1490 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson with the Giants, I mean kind of following 1491 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,440 Speaker 3: the Aaron Rodgers saga right now, doing anything for you 1492 01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,600 Speaker 3: as far as the way you're viewing teams right now. 1493 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,520 Speaker 8: It doesn't change a whole heck of a lot. I 1494 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,280 Speaker 8: think that the Giants still very much in play to 1495 01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,880 Speaker 8: draft a quarterback, whether it's inside the top five or 1496 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 8: somewhere a little bit later in the draft. An interesting 1497 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 8: quarterback room that they're building with Russell Wilson and Jamis Winston. 1498 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,080 Speaker 8: I think the other big domino, and I say that 1499 01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,240 Speaker 8: relatively speaking that we're still waiting to fall is with 1500 01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,760 Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers. I'm just not sure the Steelers anticipated going 1501 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,880 Speaker 8: into the season with Mason Rudolph as their potential starting quarterback, 1502 01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 8: which is the way things are trending. So a lot 1503 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,560 Speaker 8: of items to get played out, you know, over the 1504 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 8: next couple of weeks as the draft balls will continue, 1505 01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,920 Speaker 8: and we'll see exactly how high draft Jackson Dark can 1506 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,040 Speaker 8: move up the draft board and what team falls in 1507 01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:19,840 Speaker 8: love with some of the intangibles and the skill set 1508 01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,080 Speaker 8: that they've seen from Jalen Milrow. 1509 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 2: By the way, Todd, I've invented the four foot baseball 1510 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,040 Speaker 2: glove that you can wear to go along with this 1511 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,400 Speaker 2: torpedo bat. So I think we should, you know, patent 1512 01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:32,240 Speaker 2: it and get it on the market immediately. 1513 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 8: There are some rules in the rule book about specifications. 1514 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,080 Speaker 3: For the kind of a quick What do you think 1515 01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:37,920 Speaker 3: about that time. 1516 01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,480 Speaker 8: On the diamonds. I think it's much ado about nothing. 1517 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 8: I give the Yankees a little bit of credit for 1518 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 8: thinking outside the box, but judging by how those baseballs 1519 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 8: were jumping off the bat, it just wasn't the Yankees offense. 1520 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,960 Speaker 8: My gut tells me that there may be some baseballs 1521 01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,160 Speaker 8: that are around a little bit tighter in the early 1522 01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,560 Speaker 8: going than what we see during the dead ball era. 1523 01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 3: Like the way you're thank you all right, Todd. Have 1524 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,520 Speaker 3: a great week, buddy, Enjoy the Final four and we'll 1525 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 3: talk to you next time. 1526 01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:02,360 Speaker 2: Now. 1527 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:03,520 Speaker 3: Always a pleasure. 1528 01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:04,280 Speaker 8: Jets, have a great week. 1529 01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,840 Speaker 3: There is Todd Furman, all right. Steve Sager comes rolling 1530 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 3: in with everything that's training, because everything a final now 1531 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 3: in the world. 1532 01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,160 Speaker 6: Of sports, just about I mean, the La Kings are 1533 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,040 Speaker 6: so far ahead as might might as well be a 1534 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 6: final They're up six to one on San Jose with 1535 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,160 Speaker 6: about six minutes left in the late NHL game. 1536 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:21,880 Speaker 4: I'm glad, you know, even I got that game on. 1537 01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 6: I'm glad already brought up the thing with the gloves, 1538 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,520 Speaker 6: because there are rules about how big your glove can 1539 01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,840 Speaker 6: be in a Major League Baseball game, but there are 1540 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 6: no such rules for bats. That's equipment also. But yeah, 1541 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,760 Speaker 6: for those who are unaware of the discussion. This weekend, 1542 01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,240 Speaker 6: the Yankees, some of them are using what are called 1543 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:44,200 Speaker 6: torpedo bats. That is, there's more wood at the sweet spot. 1544 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 6: There's a larger mass. In other words, you're less likely 1545 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,080 Speaker 6: to miss the pitch at that spot of the bat. 1546 01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 6: It's a little wider wood than you would have normally had. Well, 1547 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,320 Speaker 6: we had the Marlins with another walk off win, three 1548 01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,360 Speaker 6: to two over Pittsburgh, the first team in over twenty 1549 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 6: years to have their first three wins of the season 1550 01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,520 Speaker 6: all be via the walkoff, and this was on a 1551 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:10,440 Speaker 6: walk off wild pitch. The Pirates closer David Bednar is 1552 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:12,920 Speaker 6: zero to two quickly with an ERA of twenty seven. 1553 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:13,960 Speaker 2: Oh geez. 1554 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,160 Speaker 6: The Yankees are three and oh after beating Milwaukee twelve 1555 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 6: to three. Aaron Judge with his fourth home run after 1556 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,600 Speaker 6: he had three yesterday. Padres four and oh after shutting 1557 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,800 Speaker 6: out Atlanta five nothing. Tonight, Braves offense went one for 1558 01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,640 Speaker 6: twenty six, and the Cardinals are three and oh after 1559 01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:32,200 Speaker 6: defeating Minnesota and the tall starter Bailey Ober nine to 1560 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,720 Speaker 6: the final. The Dodgers are five and oh. They were 1561 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 6: off today. They're only Sunday off all season. Let's get 1562 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,440 Speaker 6: to men's hoops. Auburn and Houston are headed to the 1563 01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:44,720 Speaker 6: Final four. It's next weekend.

The late game we'll have Duke against Houston. 1566 01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,280 Speaker 6: The Cougars, one seed in the Midwest, beat Tennessee sixty 1567 01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:59,160 Speaker 6: nine fifty today and then Auburn eliminated Michigan State seventy 1568 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 6: to sixty four to win the South Region. Villanova's new 1569 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,560 Speaker 6: head coach Kevin Willard from Maryland. He'd also coached at 1570 01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,640 Speaker 6: Seton Hall in the past. The women's regional finals started 1571 01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 6: with South Carolina and UCLA advancing two more games tomorrow. 1572 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 6: In the NBA, the late game at Phoenix went to 1573 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,879 Speaker 6: the Rockets one forty eight one oh nine over the Suns. 1574 01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,479 Speaker 6: Kevin Durant left rolling an ankle and he's not leaving 1575 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:23,960 Speaker 6: with the team for this week's road trip. Among the 1576 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,200 Speaker 6: eight NHL games, Buffalo won eight to five at Washington, 1577 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,719 Speaker 6: Alex Ovechkin of the Caps with career goal number eight ninety, 1578 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:34,080 Speaker 6: getting closer to the Wayne Gretzky record, although we emphasized 1579 01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:38,360 Speaker 6: that is an NHL goal scored record. Gretzky's rookie year, 1580 01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,559 Speaker 6: good as it was, apparently is not being counted because 1581 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,439 Speaker 6: his team had not been folded into the NHL yet. 1582 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,000 Speaker 6: Denny Hamlin the NASCAR winner at Martinsville. He led two 1583 01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 6: hundred and seventy four the last two hundred and seventy 1584 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,040 Speaker 6: five laps. It's his fifty fifth career win. This was 1585 01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,559 Speaker 6: the first short track race of the season. Christopher Bell 1586 01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:59,400 Speaker 6: finished second. Hamlin has now won Cup races with seven 1587 01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:03,080 Speaker 6: different crew chiefs in his long career. NASCAR's on FS 1588 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,200 Speaker 6: one again the next two Sundays. The IndyCar Series is 1589 01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 6: off until mid April, but all seventeen IndyCar races this 1590 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:13,000 Speaker 6: year are on Fox TV, so that includes the Indy 1591 01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,680 Speaker 6: five hundred in late May and an upset at the 1592 01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,439 Speaker 6: Miami You Open Tennis final on the men's side tonight, 1593 01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,000 Speaker 6: after a five and a half hour rain delay at 1594 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:25,120 Speaker 6: the start, Novak Djokovic was beaten by unseated nineteen year 1595 01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,280 Speaker 6: old Yakoub Mensik.

Let me let me clean it up 1598 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:38,960 Speaker 3: a little bit, all right. Isaac Trotter tweeted this earlier today. 1599 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,800 Speaker 3: The six highest rated teams from the last decade of 1600 01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,519 Speaker 3: college basketball per Kinpom, four of them are in this 1601 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,720 Speaker 3: final four. So they had twenty twenty five Duke won, 1602 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:53,639 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, Houston two, then twenty twenty four, Gonzaga three, 1603 01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:57,200 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, Gonzaga four, followed by Florida and Auburn 1604 01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,760 Speaker 3: from this year. So based on the Kimpom numbers that 1605 01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:05,519 Speaker 3: everybody loves, I mean, every every nerd out there loves 1606 01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:09,439 Speaker 3: those analytics, four teams in that top six over the 1607 01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:10,160 Speaker 3: last decade. 1608 01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,240 Speaker 2: Pretty I mean, we'll have the close games in we'll 1609 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 2: have a buzzer beater. 1610 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:17,439 Speaker 3: Finally, maybe you'll finally get your buzzer beating so badly, 1611 01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 3: I I'm surprised you weren't even mad about the buzzer 1612 01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:25,799 Speaker 3: beater we got because it, uh it was there was traveling. 1613 01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,599 Speaker 3: I thought, no more. I watch it. First time I watched, 1614 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 3: I was like, no, he didn't travel.

The Houston one doesn't count because they called 1617 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,640 Speaker 3: Why did they stop that at point eight? I mean 1618 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,160 Speaker 3: it's just I've asked five people that put the clip up, 1619 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:44,880 Speaker 3: five beat riders. I've looked like a nerd on Twitter. 1620 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,240 Speaker 3: Why did they chalk the clock? No one ever explained it. 1621 01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:49,280 Speaker 3: They just stopped. No one had of time out. They 1622 01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 3: went and reviewed what. I have no idea what they 1623 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,240 Speaker 3: went and reviewed, and then they just let pretty and 1624 01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:55,920 Speaker 3: bound the ball and get a I mean at least 1625 01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:57,320 Speaker 3: a half court shot. I mean, it worked for the 1626 01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:00,720 Speaker 3: Bulls the other night. But just can I just add 1627 01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:04,360 Speaker 3: one more thing. We're reviewing too much, crap, Arnie. I 1628 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 3: know you're like, oh, let's get it right, but we're 1629 01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:07,240 Speaker 3: reviewing too much. 1630 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,080 Speaker 2: Especially when it's in like the final four or five minutes. Man, 1631 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:11,040 Speaker 2: it's taken a long time. 1632 01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:13,720 Speaker 3: By the way, I'm very proud of you though, that 1633 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,320 Speaker 3: you didn't come in here grinching about start times tonight, 1634 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,160 Speaker 3: because I was going to be with you. I was 1635 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:22,639 Speaker 3: gonna have your back because those Thursday Friday games, Holy smokes, 1636 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,799 Speaker 3: the Thursday Friday in the first two rounds of the tournament, 1637 01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,880 Speaker 3: the Thursday Friday games for the Sweet sixteen? Just why 1638 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:29,439 Speaker 3: are we starting? 1639 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,040 Speaker 2: When I filled in on Friday, that was one of 1640 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,160 Speaker 2: the things I said, I go, this is ridiculous. You 1641 01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:38,120 Speaker 2: got two games starting after ten pm Eastern, which is 1642 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 2: fine on Friday because I happened to be working that day. 1643 01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:41,080 Speaker 4: It's all your day with it. 1644 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,880 Speaker 2: But other than me, I'm sure there was not a 1645 01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,400 Speaker 2: lot of happy people out there. Games ending about twelve fifteen, 1646 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:50,280 Speaker 2: twelve thirty. That's just ridiculous. They got to do something 1647 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:50,720 Speaker 2: about that. 1648 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:56,200 Speaker 3: It's a lot. It is an absolute lot. Brendan just 1649 01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,040 Speaker 3: checked anyway. So I wonder how much of the LA 1650 01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,080 Speaker 3: population is going to do these guys falling radio, TV 1651 01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,439 Speaker 3: or social media. When the Dodgers lose one game, they'll 1652 01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:07,080 Speaker 3: claim they're disappointed, and the Dodgers won't go one sixty 1653 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:09,439 Speaker 3: two and oh in the regular season and eleven and 1654 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:12,240 Speaker 3: zero in the playoffs. I know you were joking tongue 1655 01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:16,840 Speaker 3: in cheek, But I mean, you watch what if they 1656 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 3: roll like to get to sixteen and oh or something 1657 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:19,840 Speaker 3: ridiculous like that. 1658 01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:24,360 Speaker 2: Their attendance is going to be unbelievable. And I'm not 1659 01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:28,120 Speaker 2: just talking about attendance at home. I'm curious to see 1660 01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,360 Speaker 2: all on the road. It's going to be cellouts too. 1661 01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:31,439 Speaker 2: It's going to be crazy. 1662 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 3: Let's see the greatest start to an MLB season the 1663 01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,880 Speaker 3: ninth though the eighteen eighty four Saint Louis Maroons. I 1664 01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 3: was going to say that went twenty and oh. I 1665 01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,160 Speaker 3: remember the Orioles had a pretty wild start too to 1666 01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,640 Speaker 3: a season I say a while agoing to probably like 1667 01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:49,320 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four. But who knows, Maybe we're on the 1668 01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,439 Speaker 3: cusp of it. Dodgers keep rolling, all right. When we 1669 01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:53,960 Speaker 3: come back to the dirack dot com studio, Steve de 1670 01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,960 Speaker 3: Sega in the house with everything we've missed and everything 1671 01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,040 Speaker 3: that's coming up and everything you need to know a 1672 01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:03,680 Speaker 3: Fox Sports radio. All right, Steve de Seger is in 1673 01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,320 Speaker 3: the house. This is where we get caught up on 1674 01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:09,440 Speaker 3: all the news that we've missed. What's going on, Steve. 1675 01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,320 Speaker 6: And Everything's final NHL it was Kings eight to one 1676 01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,080 Speaker 6: over San Jose is that has just ended. And as 1677 01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 6: far as the game winner in March Madness with the 1678 01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 6: Houston narrow victory against Purdue, my understanding was simply that 1679 01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,960 Speaker 6: it was well, in the final minute of a game, 1680 01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:29,760 Speaker 6: the clock stops when the ball goes through the hoop, 1681 01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,720 Speaker 6: not right lands on the floor, and therefore, looking back 1682 01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:36,040 Speaker 6: at the replay, it was at point eight and that's 1683 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,000 Speaker 6: why there was still an extra point eight left for 1684 01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,840 Speaker 6: the opponent to essentially not do anything. I like, you, 1685 01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 6: what are we doing here? Just because it was the end. Yeah, 1686 01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:49,920 Speaker 6: But if you don't like the massive amount of reviews 1687 01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,559 Speaker 6: in the last two minutes of a college basketball game, 1688 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:56,000 Speaker 6: do I have the tournament for you. It's brand new 1689 01:13:56,080 --> 01:14:01,559 Speaker 6: and it starts tomorrow in lass in Vegas. Sixteen teams 1690 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:05,000 Speaker 6: that did not qualify for the NCAAs are in the 1691 01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:10,000 Speaker 6: College Basketball Crown. New tournaments starts Monday. Games are on 1692 01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,639 Speaker 6: FS one all night tomorrow and all night the next night, 1693 01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,479 Speaker 6: starting at three pm Eastern, and then by Sunday they 1694 01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:20,559 Speaker 6: get their final four on Fox TV the final on Sunday. 1695 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,680 Speaker 6: But one of the announcers tweeted that rather than officials 1696 01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:28,559 Speaker 6: in this tournament this week, arbitrarily going to the monitor 1697 01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,200 Speaker 6: on any out of bounds call in the last two minutes. 1698 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,960 Speaker 6: For this, this is just the Vegas tournament. Any debatable 1699 01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:38,800 Speaker 6: call requires a coach to use a timeout to challenge. 1700 01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 6: Now there's no limit on challenges, but if you're out 1701 01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 6: of timeouts, you know what, you can't challenge and you'd 1702 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:49,120 Speaker 6: be charged with a technical meaning the opponent gets two 1703 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,040 Speaker 6: shots and the ball. If you succeed in your challenge, 1704 01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 6: you keep the timeout. 1705 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:54,360 Speaker 3: You had to use two. 1706 01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,400 Speaker 6: Challenge, so that could lease replayers. 1707 01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:58,920 Speaker 3: Teams have any players left with everyone who's jumped in 1708 01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:00,000 Speaker 3: the chains football? 1709 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,360 Speaker 2: They're playing for money, right they're playing. They get money 1710 01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:03,040 Speaker 2: for that, don't they. 1711 01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:05,680 Speaker 6: Obviously there would be money involved for people. But I 1712 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,080 Speaker 6: noticed that one of the games, not tomorrow night but 1713 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,479 Speaker 6: Tuesday night is Villanova, which just got a new head coach, 1714 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:15,040 Speaker 6: Kevin Willard from Maryland today, So whoever was on staff 1715 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,960 Speaker 6: somebody got a signed. Once the athletic department said, you know, 1716 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,880 Speaker 6: our season is not over. Same thing with USC, they 1717 01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:24,520 Speaker 6: kind of wanted to keep playing. And guess what USC's 1718 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,240 Speaker 6: in this thing in Vegas? They get what does the 1719 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:26,760 Speaker 6: winner get? 1720 01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:28,719 Speaker 2: The Sega they get they get cast, right. 1721 01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:30,880 Speaker 6: I did not see the breakdown of who gets first 1722 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 6: place money or second like a God tournament. 1723 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, they get money for that. That's why they're getting 1724 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 2: so many teams to play in it. 1725 01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:38,679 Speaker 6: But I know Georgetown's in it with a game tomorrow, 1726 01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:42,120 Speaker 6: Arizona State, Utah has a game tomorrow. Butler has a 1727 01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,920 Speaker 6: game to start things off tomorrow. And it's Butler's gym 1728 01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,120 Speaker 6: that's being used for the NIT. Now do you know 1729 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,240 Speaker 6: the New York City doesn't have the NIIT final for anymore. 1730 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:54,080 Speaker 3: Keep in mind, it's called a three hundred thousand dollars 1731 01:15:54,160 --> 01:16:00,120 Speaker 3: Nile package. So I that's what they are claiming is 1732 01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:01,360 Speaker 3: up for God, not that they won't pay it. 1733 01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,240 Speaker 6: I'm just saying how it gets divided, right. 1734 01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,040 Speaker 3: That's three hundred thousand dollars. I don't know how that 1735 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,720 Speaker 3: gets divided. I don't know who gets what. But there 1736 01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:09,040 Speaker 3: you go. 1737 01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,080 Speaker 6: So Cincinnati's in this tournament with an opener on Tuesday. 1738 01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:16,960 Speaker 6: I mentioned Villanova Tuesday, USC on Tuesday. Sixteen teams total 1739 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:21,519 Speaker 6: one week only Vegas on FS one and all night 1740 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:24,599 Speaker 6: on the Monday Tuesday games, and then they'll narrow down 1741 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:28,120 Speaker 6: the field in the Houston game. We had an early 1742 01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:31,240 Speaker 6: lead against Tennessee in the Midwest Regional Final of twenty 1743 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,640 Speaker 6: nine to eight late first half. By halftime it was 1744 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:38,320 Speaker 6: thirty four to fifteen. There was an incredible stat at 1745 01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,000 Speaker 6: all time in the tournament when a team is down 1746 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:43,920 Speaker 6: at the half by nineteen points or more, the all 1747 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:47,479 Speaker 6: time record is oh and two forty four. I saw 1748 01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 6: that yea, including the Vall's loss here sixty nine to fifty. 1749 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:54,599 Speaker 6: So Houston goes to San Antonio. The ball season ends 1750 01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:58,120 Speaker 6: with three point shooting today of five for twenty nine, 1751 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,200 Speaker 6: they shot twenty nine percent from the floor. 1752 01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,800 Speaker 2: Overall, they never got closed. I don't think they even 1753 01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:06,200 Speaker 2: got within double digits after they got behind so much. 1754 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:09,000 Speaker 6: Houston in the regular season only allowed fifty nine points 1755 01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,599 Speaker 6: a game, allowed fifty today. They've won seventeen straight games, 1756 01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 6: but my goodness, Tennessee from three point range started oh 1757 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,679 Speaker 6: for fourteen in this one. By the way, the higher 1758 01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,320 Speaker 6: seeded teams went twelve to oh this week for the 1759 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,680 Speaker 6: first time in these two rounds since the tournament expanded 1760 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,679 Speaker 6: in nineteen eighty five. And then we had the Auburn 1761 01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 6: game up on Michigan State twenty three to eight. Mid 1762 01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:34,040 Speaker 6: first half seventy to sixty four. The final Spartans only 1763 01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,800 Speaker 6: shot thirty four percent from the floor. Trey Holloman was 1764 01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,840 Speaker 6: oh of ten shooting off the bench. All four of 1765 01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,200 Speaker 6: the number one seeds are in the Final four. The 1766 01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:45,639 Speaker 6: only previous time that had happened was two thousand and eight. 1767 01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:47,479 Speaker 4: So rating should be through the roof then for this 1768 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:48,120 Speaker 4: final four. 1769 01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,160 Speaker 6: Well in theory, and we talked about this, you know, 1770 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,559 Speaker 6: after the first couple of rounds, saying, well, I remember 1771 01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,760 Speaker 6: the nineteen eighty six baseball playoffs where there were no 1772 01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 6: pennant races because the top team just so dominated. There 1773 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 6: were nothing to play for. Nobody was going to catch 1774 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:04,120 Speaker 6: first place the last couple of weeks. And then we 1775 01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,320 Speaker 6: got the greatest playoffs we've ever seen between the Mets 1776 01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:11,120 Speaker 6: and Mookie Wilson and the Houston series before that, and 1777 01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:13,360 Speaker 6: the Angels Red Sox and on and on. So yeah, 1778 01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 6: we've got the cream of the crops still alive here. 1779 01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:19,599 Speaker 6: Then the NBA tonight we had a game where twelve 1780 01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:23,600 Speaker 6: technical fouls were handed out, the most combined tes in 1781 01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,920 Speaker 6: an NBA game in twenty years. This was the game 1782 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:30,720 Speaker 6: at Minnesota.

The only team right 1954 01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,080 Speaker 3: now that seems like it's playing hard is the Oklahoma 1955 01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:47,320 Speaker 3: City Thunder. Uh So when when you the ratings, I 1956 01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:51,439 Speaker 3: don't are the ratings up magically because it well and 1957 01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,880 Speaker 3: Luke and the Lakers have been okay, right, I mean. 1958 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,120 Speaker 2: Look, would I put a Roman numeral nine the second 1959 01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,559 Speaker 2: nine and then I put the second sub dash? I can't, 1960 01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,759 Speaker 2: It says, crawling to the finish slide is what I wrote. 1961 01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:06,800 Speaker 4: Crawling to the finish slide is the NBA. You're right, 1962 01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 4: it's unwatchable right now. 1963 01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:10,759 Speaker 2: It's eight games left and there's not really a lot. 1964 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:12,799 Speaker 3: Of great rate no fights, right exactly. 1965 01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,559 Speaker 2: There's not a lot of great races going on pretty much. Yeah, 1966 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,479 Speaker 2: there's a little bit of jocking for position, but nothing 1967 01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:20,639 Speaker 2: that's anything important or anything. 1968 01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:23,960 Speaker 3: Can the Thunder break the record for the most double 1969 01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,800 Speaker 3: digit wins in a season and they're they're probably going 1970 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,120 Speaker 3: to base on what their schedule looks like. So yeah, 1971 01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:34,320 Speaker 3: sure you got to fight between like three, four and 1972 01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,360 Speaker 3: maybe five in the standings in the West. 1973 01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:39,720 Speaker 4: Nothing it needs towards the end though. 1974 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:41,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. The East, I mean, even the playing tournament is 1975 01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:43,720 Speaker 3: pretty much figured out. But I guess my question to 1976 01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,040 Speaker 3: count of that is, so you're you're considering the NBA 1977 01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:49,400 Speaker 3: back whenever you talk about is sports back with the 1978 01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:51,920 Speaker 3: tournament ratings, baseball ratings, it's going to be back. 1979 01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:56,000 Speaker 2: After these last seven or eight games, because gets the playoffs. Well, 1980 01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,720 Speaker 2: they'll get to the playoffs, pop will be rejuvenated, they'll 1981 01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:00,760 Speaker 2: get all excited, they'll want to see it in the 1982 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:05,320 Speaker 2: first round. Could be the Lakers and the Clippers. Possibly not. No, well, 1983 01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:08,000 Speaker 2: they're only a couple of games away, so that's a possibility. 1984 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:10,080 Speaker 3: Could be Lakers aren't going to be able to get 1985 01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:10,519 Speaker 3: to the two. 1986 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:13,639 Speaker 4: Well, the Clippers could move up. They're only like two 1987 01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:14,120 Speaker 4: games away. 1988 01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,479 Speaker 3: Oh you know what, that's I'm not even I'm not even. Well, 1989 01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:20,080 Speaker 3: the Clippers are still in the play in they've got 1990 01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:23,320 Speaker 3: to get themselves. I guess what up to the five. 1991 01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,040 Speaker 2: Potentially where Memphis is. There are two games behind Memphis. 1992 01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,560 Speaker 3: By the way, Memphis firing its coach. 1993 01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:29,479 Speaker 4: I don't get that. 1994 01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:33,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, unless there's something going on behind the scenes that 1995 01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 3: we don't know. Anyway, back to the point you say, 1996 01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:38,880 Speaker 3: you say the NBA will be back when we get 1997 01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:41,880 Speaker 3: to the playoffs, when we get these matchups and the 1998 01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:45,080 Speaker 3: whole idea that hey, we've made this triumphant return from 1999 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:47,360 Speaker 3: kind of the sports abyss right. 2000 01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:50,800 Speaker 2: Right right, especially after the NCAA ratings were up the 2001 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:54,679 Speaker 2: first weekend MLB ratings were up, though there's always see 2002 01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:57,760 Speaker 2: how MLB will do later on. Maybe it was just 2003 01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,680 Speaker 2: that opening weekend or opening day, excuse me that it 2004 01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:04,040 Speaker 2: was so you know, so watched. They may just go 2005 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:05,200 Speaker 2: back downhill after that. 2006 01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:09,840 Speaker 3: Do you think the NBA Playoffs are going to be 2007 01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:10,800 Speaker 3: musk s TV. 2008 01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:14,800 Speaker 2: I think the first round matchups are gonna be good, 2009 01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:16,960 Speaker 2: so I think that's gonna help them big time. 2010 01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 3: Do you think do you think the Final four is 2011 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:22,320 Speaker 3: going to be come throughout this week and learning the 2012 01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,280 Speaker 3: storylines musk see TV? 2013 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,519 Speaker 2: Yes I do, Yes, I kind of do too.

They're gonna be good games. 2015 01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,320 Speaker 2: This is what people want to see the best involved. 2016 01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:37,120 Speaker 2: So yes, I think that's gonna be must watch TV. 2017 01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 2: And matter of fact, d'mont after the Final four, so 2018 01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:42,639 Speaker 2: I'm on that Saturday night. 2019 01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:43,799 Speaker 3: Look at you. 2020 01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,679 Speaker 2: You get all the fillings, man, I do, I'm hogging 2021 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:47,080 Speaker 2: them all up. 2022 01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:48,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to share some? Well, have you got 2023 01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:51,320 Speaker 3: to get these all inclusive resorts. Meanwhile, some of us 2024 01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:55,000 Speaker 3: are taking vacation to, like, I don't know, Beaumont, but yeah, I. 2025 01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:58,160 Speaker 2: Guess you could say I dated a girl from Beaumont, Texas. 2026 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,720 Speaker 3: Pull that out of my backside, but I guess you 2027 01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:04,000 Speaker 3: could say that. But I never really thought sports wasn't 2028 01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 3: back like and I kind of get what you're saying. 2029 01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:11,599 Speaker 3: The tournament ratings. I kind of try to stop basing 2030 01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:14,360 Speaker 3: everything on ratings, right. The only reason I've kind of 2031 01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:17,440 Speaker 3: bring it up in the NCAA tournament is because I'm surprised, 2032 01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:20,600 Speaker 3: as everyone was, to see where they were after the 2033 01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:23,479 Speaker 3: first round in the first two days and how much 2034 01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:24,040 Speaker 3: it sucked. 2035 01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:27,120 Speaker 2: Do you think baseball that opening day had helped them 2036 01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:29,559 Speaker 2: in the ratings because it was on the Thursday of 2037 01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:31,240 Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament or. 2038 01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:35,120 Speaker 3: Maybe? So that's a fair question. I mean, maybe so, 2039 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,639 Speaker 3: but I would I would also add, you know, it's 2040 01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:42,519 Speaker 3: it's wild because through all of this conversation, now you're talking, hey, 2041 01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:47,559 Speaker 3: tournament final four, NBA head to the postseason, early baseball, 2042 01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:49,640 Speaker 3: there's there's still this part of me Arnie and we 2043 01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:52,720 Speaker 3: talked about this on Friday night, that is just infatuated 2044 01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:56,040 Speaker 3: with what's going on in the NFL's offseason, and we 2045 01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,639 Speaker 3: have absolutely had a dead period. But I can't get 2046 01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:01,960 Speaker 3: enough of Aaron Rodgers. How terrible. Bless your heart, Mike Florio. 2047 01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:04,160 Speaker 3: Mike Florio has been in reporting what's going on with 2048 01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:06,200 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. I mean, my gosh, does anyone having I 2049 01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:06,639 Speaker 3: wonder what. 2050 01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,000 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say Thomas. 2051 01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:11,200 Speaker 3: I have no idea. 2052 01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have no idea what he's thinking and what 2053 01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:15,280 Speaker 2: he's thinking and how he's going to make the decision 2054 01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,280 Speaker 2: and what he's going to make the decision. So he's 2055 01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,080 Speaker 2: up in the air, just like everybody else if he's 2056 01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:19,719 Speaker 2: telling the truth. 2057 01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:21,760 Speaker 3: But what's funny is you talk about all those things 2058 01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:24,439 Speaker 3: and I'm interested in them and I'm gonna watch. But yet, 2059 01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,400 Speaker 3: like the hottest thing in my mind and the thing 2060 01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:28,280 Speaker 3: I want to talk about the most is still football. 2061 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:29,479 Speaker 3: Is that crazy or what? 2062 01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:32,000 Speaker 2: No, the draft is going to be ratings are through 2063 01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:33,960 Speaker 2: the roof. What did you what did the sigarettes said 2064 01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:34,559 Speaker 2: they got last year? 2065 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:35,479 Speaker 4: Like ten million or. 2066 01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:35,960 Speaker 2: Something like that. 2067 01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:36,959 Speaker 3: It's pretty ridiculous. 2068 01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:39,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it will be through the roof this year because 2069 01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,920 Speaker 2: of all the intrigue on top of the draft. 2070 01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:44,880 Speaker 3: This was interesting too, and I was I was digging 2071 01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,719 Speaker 3: for this because just one final thought on ratings and uh, 2072 01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:49,760 Speaker 3: then we'll get to your tweets and Arnie's picks are 2073 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,120 Speaker 3: around the corner and the some of the big moments today. 2074 01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:58,759 Speaker 3: CBS hadn't aired and hasn't aired a Major League Baseball 2075 01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:02,320 Speaker 3: game since ninety three. In fact, I forgot CBS ever 2076 01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:05,639 Speaker 3: aired baseball. But apparently it sent a reporter for its 2077 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:09,000 Speaker 3: morning showed opening Day in Chicago. But they didn't send 2078 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:11,040 Speaker 3: them to cover the Cubs. They send them to cover 2079 01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:15,480 Speaker 3: the White Sox. So I don't know, you know, network's 2080 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:19,640 Speaker 3: news shows, they're not like bound to cover properties. But 2081 01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:22,559 Speaker 3: when Sports Media Watch tweeted that, I don't know why 2082 01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:26,200 Speaker 3: Arnie I found that interesting. I mean, is there is 2083 01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:27,960 Speaker 3: it just them saying, hey, guys, we got a segment 2084 01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:29,400 Speaker 3: we gotta fill. Well, someone go out there and cover 2085 01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:31,559 Speaker 3: the baseball game, you know. I but it's a national 2086 01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,880 Speaker 3: show so they don't have to. But I'm just I'm 2087 01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:38,080 Speaker 3: I'm curious, is to kind of maybe maybe there's there's 2088 01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:40,880 Speaker 3: a little bit more juice. Maybe the Dodgers and what 2089 01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:43,360 Speaker 3: they've done hasn't been so bad because it's brought more 2090 01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:45,439 Speaker 3: eyes to baseball. I mean, and that might be a 2091 01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:47,599 Speaker 3: reach that just that might be a somebody. 2092 01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:50,400 Speaker 2: We're gonna cover the Angels instead of the Dodgers, how 2093 01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:50,800 Speaker 2: about that? 2094 01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:53,160 Speaker 3: Yeah? True, true, true, But just to cover it in 2095 01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:55,800 Speaker 3: general when you never do, like I don't watch any 2096 01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:57,920 Speaker 3: of these morning shows. Whenever I was a kid. My 2097 01:31:57,960 --> 01:31:59,880 Speaker 3: mom used to watch them whenever I was like getting 2098 01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:02,559 Speaker 3: for school, and she'd watch the Today Show every day, 2099 01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:04,559 Speaker 3: and it was The Today Show with like Bright Gumbel. 2100 01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:06,680 Speaker 3: You know, that's that's how long it's been since I 2101 01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:09,680 Speaker 3: watched these shows. But they've never been like bastions for 2102 01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 3: sports news. 2103 01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:13,639 Speaker 2: Right, No, not at all. I can't remember. I don't 2104 01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:15,840 Speaker 2: remember sports in the morning at all, to be honest with. 2105 01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:19,760 Speaker 3: You, Yeah, unreal. Well, you know, it's interesting because we 2106 01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:22,439 Speaker 3: talked about the numbers. It's still wild to think that 2107 01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:25,559 Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament, for all the dumping that we've done 2108 01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:28,160 Speaker 3: on it, the first two rounds are the most watched 2109 01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 3: since ninety three. Now there's the caveats that's been out 2110 01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:35,280 Speaker 3: out of home viewing, it's probably an eight year high, 2111 01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:38,120 Speaker 3: but it's still strong in this TV environment to say 2112 01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:40,840 Speaker 3: that you've had the most watched since nineteen ninety three. 2113 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:42,479 Speaker 4: But baseball surprised me. 2114 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:45,120 Speaker 2: But considering that like eight of the game started at 2115 01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:48,880 Speaker 2: four or five Eastern, wouldn't that have hurt the ratings? 2116 01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:50,559 Speaker 2: But so many games started at the same time, or 2117 01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:51,679 Speaker 2: that doesn't make a difference. 2118 01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:54,719 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't think it makes a difference. Okay, 2119 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:56,680 Speaker 3: but whenever you told me that they were up, that 2120 01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,719 Speaker 3: the numbers were up for opening Day, that's the first 2121 01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:01,519 Speaker 3: time that I had heard about the numbers being up 2122 01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:03,639 Speaker 3: from Major League Baseball. I honestly, I didn't even really 2123 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:05,559 Speaker 3: dug into it too terribly much at all. I saw 2124 01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:09,920 Speaker 3: that note about the Chicago Reporter. Maybe it's infatuation with 2125 01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:13,479 Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Maybe it's just hey, it's baseball, and I 2126 01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:16,200 Speaker 3: mean summertimes around the corner. I don't know, but that 2127 01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:18,240 Speaker 3: makes me feel really good that it's up right. 2128 01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:21,320 Speaker 2: Oh, I absolutely agree. I mean, I didn't think it 2129 01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:23,160 Speaker 2: was going to be down or anythink. I I think 2130 01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:26,040 Speaker 2: people are excited about the Dodgers and see how far 2131 01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:28,400 Speaker 2: they can go. I know it's a long season, but sure, 2132 01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:30,120 Speaker 2: I mean they could they could really go after what 2133 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:33,400 Speaker 2: is at the one sixteen and that that's gonna be 2134 01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:34,840 Speaker 2: something people gonna want to keep an eye on. 2135 01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:36,720 Speaker 6: And as far as the ratings, guys, it was a 2136 01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,400 Speaker 6: Yankee and then Dodger game cable double header on Fantasy 2137 01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:42,880 Speaker 6: the openers, and it was opposite the other games. There 2138 01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:44,759 Speaker 6: were a lot of other day openers in your. 2139 01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:47,040 Speaker 4: Yeakee gamers at noon no noon Easter. 2140 01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:50,200 Speaker 6: Only an hour before most of the other first pitches nationwide. 2141 01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:53,040 Speaker 2: But that's still early, well on the West Coast. But 2142 01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:54,360 Speaker 2: it doesn't make a difference, I guess. 2143 01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:58,080 Speaker 6: But it those two averaged one point nine million viewers, 2144 01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,040 Speaker 6: which makes it the best opening days since twenty eighteen 2145 01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:02,719 Speaker 6: when it was Dodgers Giants. 2146 01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:05,120 Speaker 3: There you gom, I think it's all about the Dodgers, 2147 01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:08,479 Speaker 3: all right, to the tweet Charles Wrights. In regard to 2148 01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:10,679 Speaker 3: the NBA ratings, there was a point many years ago 2149 01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:13,800 Speaker 3: when the NBA sucked when they were in the one 2150 01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:18,120 Speaker 3: and done draft era. Then they turned to European players. Lately, 2151 01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,400 Speaker 3: we're all turned off by excessive three point shots and 2152 01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:24,759 Speaker 3: no defense. Heck, looked tonight several teams scored one hundred 2153 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:27,719 Speaker 3: and forty points. See that's it. We're crawling, We're limping 2154 01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:29,599 Speaker 3: to the finish line. It's what's going on here, Charles? 2155 01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:32,120 Speaker 2: What is what's worse though? The one hundred and forty 2156 01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:34,360 Speaker 2: points or back when we used to watch the bulls 2157 01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:35,320 Speaker 2: in the Knicks. 2158 01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:38,040 Speaker 4: Win eighty three seventy nine though, Chris that. 2159 01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:39,200 Speaker 2: That couldn't have been too enjoyable. 2160 01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:44,040 Speaker 3: WHOA look at you actually complaining about old school basketball 2161 01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:44,519 Speaker 3: for each. 2162 01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:46,840 Speaker 2: What I mean you meet to you, seriously, that's like 2163 01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:50,280 Speaker 2: half the score. Would you rather have one thirty to 2164 01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:54,120 Speaker 2: one forty or eighty three seventy nine? Which would you 2165 01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:57,519 Speaker 2: run and some tough play and physical play and some 2166 01:34:57,600 --> 01:34:58,559 Speaker 2: pushing and shoving. 2167 01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:02,160 Speaker 3: Well, the problem is none of those one forty games 2168 01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:04,960 Speaker 3: were one forty to one thirty. It was like, let's 2169 01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:07,960 Speaker 3: see one forty five to one twenty four. There was 2170 01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:11,200 Speaker 3: one forty eight to one oh six tonight, and there 2171 01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:14,880 Speaker 3: was one forty eight to one oh nine. Either the 2172 01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:18,960 Speaker 3: Rockets and the Warriors basically put the Spurs and the 2173 01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,280 Speaker 3: Suns in a body bag, right. I guess you could 2174 01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:23,519 Speaker 3: say the Hawks and the Bucks were fairly competitive, But 2175 01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:25,280 Speaker 3: I like, I'm like you. I liked it when it 2176 01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:27,200 Speaker 3: was a little bit more physical. I didn't need everyone 2177 01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:29,320 Speaker 3: jacking up jumpers as soon as they got across the 2178 01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:30,799 Speaker 3: half court line, called. 2179 01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:33,880 Speaker 2: Me a defense to play some defense. When you got 2180 01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:36,160 Speaker 2: a team score one hundred and forty points, you're playing 2181 01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:37,560 Speaker 2: no defense whatsoever. 2182 01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:41,120 Speaker 3: Zero h russive is the goat rights. I would rather 2183 01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:44,240 Speaker 3: smoke weed with Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg for forty 2184 01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:47,080 Speaker 3: eight straight hours and watch any of this year's March 2185 01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:50,679 Speaker 3: Madness games period. Why might you do both? I mean, 2186 01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:52,880 Speaker 3: that's not a bad thing. I don't know why. I 2187 01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:54,720 Speaker 3: guess maybe your point is that you wouldn't be on 2188 01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:56,960 Speaker 3: this planet if you tried to hang with William Snoop 2189 01:35:57,120 --> 01:35:57,920 Speaker 3: for forty hours. 2190 01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:00,320 Speaker 2: Remember when I told you once they made make that 2191 01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:02,759 Speaker 2: TV show about me, and I'd become rich and famous 2192 01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:05,360 Speaker 2: and I'll have famous friends, I said. 2193 01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:07,160 Speaker 4: Snoop Dogg would probably be one of my buddies. 2194 01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:08,880 Speaker 3: There you go.

That guy's report is so funny how he ends. 2278 01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:14,840 Speaker 3: It's like, I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but if 2279 01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:17,559 Speaker 3: it does, remember where you heard it first. I was like, Arnie, 2280 01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:21,240 Speaker 3: is that an Arnie report right there? What kind of 2281 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:24,080 Speaker 3: report is? So I'm hearing they could be going after 2282 01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:26,799 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott from a lot of people to front office. 2283 01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:29,599 Speaker 3: Not gonna happen, but if it does, I'm not saying 2284 01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:32,479 Speaker 3: it's gonna happen. But you heard it, like what anyway, 2285 01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:36,000 Speaker 3: I just I get this feel whether it's an unknown 2286 01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:40,320 Speaker 3: team making a push for Aaron Rodgers. You know, I'm 2287 01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:43,240 Speaker 3: kind of looking at San Francisco right now because nothing 2288 01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:46,439 Speaker 3: seems to be going on with Brockberty's extension. 2289 01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:48,160 Speaker 2: Isn't it. When I thought when you said there's gonna 2290 01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:49,920 Speaker 2: be something big that it was gonna involve the number 2291 01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:52,439 Speaker 2: one pick in that ten maybe so was gonna sign 2292 01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:55,280 Speaker 2: a veteran quarterback and ended up trading that number one 2293 01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:57,720 Speaker 2: pick and getting a king's ransom so they can go 2294 01:40:57,720 --> 01:40:58,719 Speaker 2: ahead and rebuild their team. 2295 01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:01,000 Speaker 3: I don't know that anyone's willing to give up the 2296 01:41:01,080 --> 01:41:03,080 Speaker 3: Kings a ransom to move up to one right now. 2297 01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:08,679 Speaker 3: I think that's the problem because if they if they were, 2298 01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:11,800 Speaker 3: and you're having a hard time deciding if you want 2299 01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:17,200 Speaker 3: cam Ward or Travis Hunter or Abdull Carter or Mason 2300 01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:21,080 Speaker 3: Graham or throw Shador in there, then you might, you know, 2301 01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:23,320 Speaker 3: you might do it. But I think if there was 2302 01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:25,360 Speaker 3: someone offering a king's ransom, there's a part of me 2303 01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:28,080 Speaker 3: that thinks it'd already be done. I just think they're 2304 01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:30,639 Speaker 3: trying to decide if what might be offered out there 2305 01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:33,280 Speaker 3: is worth it, because I think the only team right 2306 01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:35,160 Speaker 3: now that could look at saying hey, we got to 2307 01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:39,679 Speaker 3: move up there might be out of the Giants at three. 2308 01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:41,880 Speaker 3: I know they just brought in two quarterbacks. But you're 2309 01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:44,080 Speaker 3: trying to tell me Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston on 2310 01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:46,519 Speaker 3: the answer, maybe the Saints at nine. Now, if you're 2311 01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:49,160 Speaker 3: moving up from nine to one, then you're gonna have 2312 01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:50,280 Speaker 3: to give up King's ransom. 2313 01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,720 Speaker 2: Well, you have to give up stuff for next year 2314 01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:53,760 Speaker 2: in the following year too. 2315 01:41:53,760 --> 01:41:56,439 Speaker 3: There's not enough by them. Yeah, it might it might 2316 01:41:56,479 --> 01:41:59,120 Speaker 3: be the draft. It might not be the draft. It 2317 01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:01,720 Speaker 3: might be a quarter back moves somewhere and might not 2318 01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:04,519 Speaker 3: be about that. There's something in my mind that says 2319 01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:07,320 Speaker 3: there is a big hammer that's about the fall that's 2320 01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:08,559 Speaker 3: gonna shake up the NFL off. 2321 01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:12,479 Speaker 2: What is all these rumors about Milroe? What's going on there? 2322 01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:15,479 Speaker 2: Because what the Patriots like him or I forget who 2323 01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:18,080 Speaker 2: said they loved him? And I'm like, wow's he moving 2324 01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:18,639 Speaker 2: up so quick? 2325 01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:20,599 Speaker 3: I think I saw the Steelers. Aren't he Steelers? 2326 01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:21,080 Speaker 2: That what it was? 2327 01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:23,400 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh? Okay, Yeah, they met with him, they spent some 2328 01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:27,320 Speaker 3: time with him. Well, because He's a freak. That's why 2329 01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:32,360 Speaker 3: he is Anthony Richardson, only with more college success. And 2330 01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:34,320 Speaker 3: he's a little bit if listen, what do they have 2331 01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:35,559 Speaker 3: They have him listed at sixteen. 2332 01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:37,280 Speaker 2: I remember towards the end of the year, he had 2333 01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:39,160 Speaker 2: a game so bad. I said to you, well, at 2334 01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:41,280 Speaker 2: least we know one thing. He won't go pro. He 2335 01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:43,120 Speaker 2: needs another year of college or something. 2336 01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:45,840 Speaker 3: You don't well every single I mean again, I'm not 2337 01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:48,960 Speaker 3: just comparing him to Anthony Richardson because they're athletic freaks. 2338 01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:52,320 Speaker 3: But Kim Ward had some pretty bad college games too. 2339 01:42:53,280 --> 01:42:56,280 Speaker 3: Jackson Dart had some awful college games. But yet you 2340 01:42:56,320 --> 01:42:58,759 Speaker 3: know they're in the conversation of being an NFL quarterback 2341 01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:02,879 Speaker 3: because they've got these traits that are unbelievable. The Raiders 2342 01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:05,640 Speaker 3: had to sit down with Jaln Milroe this week. I 2343 01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:07,880 Speaker 3: don't think he's gonna go in the first round. 2344 01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:09,559 Speaker 4: No, I was gonna say not for the first round 2345 01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:10,519 Speaker 4: what you're talking about. 2346 01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,280 Speaker 3: But I do think that there could be To me, 2347 01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:15,559 Speaker 3: if there's three quarterbacks that go in the first round, 2348 01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:18,439 Speaker 3: the third one is gonna be Jalen Milroe. I don't 2349 01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:20,439 Speaker 3: think it's gonna be Jackson Darky I don't think it's 2350 01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:21,200 Speaker 3: gonna be quinn yours. 2351 01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:23,720 Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. If you're like, see, 2352 01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:25,400 Speaker 2: it's hard for me to say this because you're picking 2353 01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:28,559 Speaker 2: at number six and you get a value of Shadria 2354 01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:30,200 Speaker 2: Sander's phone in your lap. But if you were at 2355 01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:35,080 Speaker 2: number three, would you rather get like a Sanders or 2356 01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:38,000 Speaker 2: a Ward or trade on down? Or would you rather 2357 01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:41,840 Speaker 2: get Award or trade on down toward the end of 2358 01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:44,080 Speaker 2: the first round and get like a mill Row and 2359 01:43:44,120 --> 01:43:45,639 Speaker 2: get like a bunch of extra picks. 2360 01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:49,679 Speaker 3: Okay, when you keep saying a bunch of extra picks, 2361 01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:52,200 Speaker 3: I think you watched the movie Draft Day too me time, 2362 01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:57,400 Speaker 3: or you're trying to remember say Ricky the Redskins or 2363 01:43:57,439 --> 01:44:01,479 Speaker 3: the Ricky Williams trade. Probably not looking at anything more 2364 01:44:01,560 --> 01:44:03,840 Speaker 3: than like two picks if you're trading down like that. 2365 01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:06,840 Speaker 3: So your idea is, would you rather take Ward at 2366 01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:10,599 Speaker 3: one and just be set there or trade out and 2367 01:44:10,640 --> 01:44:12,240 Speaker 3: then try to get back into the first try to 2368 01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:14,000 Speaker 3: get another quarterback? Is that kind of theory? 2369 01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:16,559 Speaker 2: Get mill Row? I guess that's the name that I 2370 01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:19,160 Speaker 2: keep hearing is climbing up the chart. So would you 2371 01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:21,439 Speaker 2: rather get him? And you're a couple of extra picks 2372 01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:23,120 Speaker 2: or whatever you get for the trading on down. 2373 01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:26,400 Speaker 3: Maybe I tend to think if you've got a chance 2374 01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:28,679 Speaker 3: to take cam Ward, you take him. I think he's 2375 01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:30,799 Speaker 3: the number one pick in this If you want a quarterback, 2376 01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:32,479 Speaker 3: he's the number one guy in this draft. And I 2377 01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:33,639 Speaker 3: think it's not even close. 2378 01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:36,960 Speaker 2: I mean, every time we talk about that Detroit trade, 2379 01:44:37,080 --> 01:44:40,559 Speaker 2: the Lions trade and what they got, and it's like, 2380 01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:42,479 Speaker 2: they got this guy, and they got this guy and 2381 01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:45,679 Speaker 2: they got this guy, I'm like, man, what a great 2382 01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:47,400 Speaker 2: trade they pulled off a couple of years ago. 2383 01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:50,200 Speaker 3: Well, but I mean they also got they got dudes, 2384 01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:52,960 Speaker 3: they got Jared Goff. They gave up Matthew Stafford for it. 2385 01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:55,120 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, they got let's see, what was the 2386 01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:57,439 Speaker 3: total number of picks then? He was like four four 2387 01:44:57,600 --> 01:45:01,439 Speaker 3: right right? Yeah? The deal what Stafford ran for Jared 2388 01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:03,880 Speaker 3: Goff and two first round picks and a third rounder, 2389 01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:07,400 Speaker 3: But that also involved the franchise quarterback that was leaving. 2390 01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:09,720 Speaker 3: I mean, the Titans don't have anything there. They're I 2391 01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:12,559 Speaker 3: don't think anyone looks at this number one pick like 2392 01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:15,000 Speaker 3: it's Matt Stafford. Right now, you draft cam Ward and 2393 01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:17,960 Speaker 3: I think it could be I'll tell you what. Yeah, 2394 01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:21,680 Speaker 3: Ashton Gent's impressed me so much, and I know everyone's 2395 01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:25,040 Speaker 3: like you dogging on the Penn State game. I'm gonna 2396 01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:26,800 Speaker 3: have a hard time seeing him get out of the 2397 01:45:26,840 --> 01:45:28,960 Speaker 3: top ten. Man. He's well. 2398 01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,000 Speaker 4: I never I never, never thought he was going to 2399 01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:31,960 Speaker 4: drop down past ten. 2400 01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:36,120 Speaker 3: I Chris, I don't think I really think. 2401 01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,160 Speaker 2: He's I agree with you one hundred. I think your 2402 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:40,600 Speaker 2: raiders will snatch him up if somebody doesn't trade up 2403 01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:41,200 Speaker 2: and get him. 2404 01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:43,719 Speaker 3: But this week was crazy, and I noticed Seger's upset 2405 01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:47,320 Speaker 3: is looming. But we had the Browns rumors right with that, 2406 01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:49,960 Speaker 3: that BS Dak rumor. And then you have the Kirk 2407 01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:54,120 Speaker 3: Cousins being spotted at Chipotle or was it Chipotle or 2408 01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:58,280 Speaker 3: Qutoba Chipotle. I think it was Chipotle just outside of Cleveland. 2409 01:45:58,560 --> 01:45:58,680 Speaker 6: Uh. 2410 01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:01,519 Speaker 3: Then he was at a barbecue play in Ohio. Then 2411 01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:03,760 Speaker 3: you had Russell Wilson signed with the Giants, which make 2412 01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:08,040 Speaker 3: sure you want to what they're doing. Then JJ McCarthy 2413 01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:10,639 Speaker 3: did an interview in like the middle of a field 2414 01:46:10,760 --> 01:46:13,479 Speaker 3: with something called Viking Central, which confused the hell out 2415 01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:16,200 Speaker 3: of me, where he said that they haven't told him 2416 01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:18,919 Speaker 3: that he's the starting quarterback yet, And then the Vikings 2417 01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:21,360 Speaker 3: GM had a press conference where he kind of danced 2418 01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:25,400 Speaker 3: around the Aaron Rodgers interest. Then you had Rock Perdy 2419 01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:30,040 Speaker 3: do a podcast with like Duck Dynasty guys or something. 2420 01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:32,120 Speaker 3: I mean, too many people have podcasts. I don't know 2421 01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:34,479 Speaker 3: what's going on. And then you had Cam Wartz Pro Day. 2422 01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:37,240 Speaker 3: Then you had Deon Sanders stepping out and saying, I 2423 01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:39,880 Speaker 3: know who wants shador Oh. And by the way, then 2424 01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:41,840 Speaker 3: you still have the mystery of what's going on with 2425 01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,080 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. We have no clue right now, aren't It 2426 01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:46,960 Speaker 3: was a hard week to figure out what's really going 2427 01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,920 Speaker 3: on with quarterbacks that are still available out there right. 2428 01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:51,760 Speaker 2: I'm waiting for the whole air. I'm waiting to see 2429 01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:54,160 Speaker 2: how long it's going to take for the whole Aaron 2430 01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:56,800 Speaker 2: Rodgers thing. I wonder if it's gonna happen before the draft. Now, 2431 01:46:57,200 --> 01:46:59,439 Speaker 2: I thought for sure was gonna happen before the draft. No, 2432 01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:01,840 Speaker 2: I'm now I'm not so sure that that's still going 2433 01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:03,000 Speaker 2: to be the time frame on that. 2434 01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:05,839 Speaker 3: When we come back to the tyrack dot Com studio, 2435 01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:09,920 Speaker 3: straight to your tweets next. But first, Steve Seger is 2436 01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:11,599 Speaker 3: in the house with a final look at what's trending, 2437 01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:12,439 Speaker 3: what's going on Steve. 2438 01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:15,840 Speaker 6: Regarding the Boise State running back Ashton genty, let's not 2439 01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:20,240 Speaker 6: forget he had the game at Oregon last September twenty 2440 01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:24,520 Speaker 6: five carries one hundred and ninety two yards rushing three touchdowns. 2441 01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:28,759 Speaker 6: This is at Oregon, and they led in the fourth quarter, 2442 01:47:28,920 --> 01:47:31,320 Speaker 6: and they only lost because they gave up a kick 2443 01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:34,240 Speaker 6: return for a touchdown to tie, and Oregon kicked a 2444 01:47:34,240 --> 01:47:37,479 Speaker 6: field goal on the final play to win. My NFL 2445 01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:40,919 Speaker 6: note for tonight is that the annual league meeting started 2446 01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:44,080 Speaker 6: today in Florida. It goes through April the second. By 2447 01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:46,519 Speaker 6: the way, the NFL Draft in Green Bay this year 2448 01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:49,680 Speaker 6: is less than a month away. But there is a 2449 01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:52,439 Speaker 6: note from the Sports Business Journal that owners will be 2450 01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:55,720 Speaker 6: asked to vote tomorrow on a measure regarding Thursday night 2451 01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:59,719 Speaker 6: football flex scheduling. We talked about this during last season, 2452 01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:03,120 Speaker 6: that they actually used it last December to flex out 2453 01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:06,280 Speaker 6: a Browns game, and there was when there was debate 2454 01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:08,640 Speaker 6: about this among owners a couple of years ago, some 2455 01:48:08,800 --> 01:48:12,160 Speaker 6: saying this is not fair to ticket holders and you know, 2456 01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:15,040 Speaker 6: to switch games off a Thursday. I would add it 2457 01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:17,840 Speaker 6: wasn't fair to the ticket holders who originally bought a 2458 01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:22,080 Speaker 6: Sunday football ticket and then find out during the season, Hey, 2459 01:48:22,120 --> 01:48:26,080 Speaker 6: by the way, your game's now on a Thursday, Broncos 2460 01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:28,160 Speaker 6: at Chargers. And on top of that, you're going to 2461 01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:31,240 Speaker 6: have to get to the stadium before five o'clock on 2462 01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:34,200 Speaker 6: a Thursday at a stadium that's next to the LA 2463 01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:35,799 Speaker 6: Freeways and the airport. 2464 01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:38,400 Speaker 4: Aside from it, like a u problem is what it does. 2465 01:48:38,479 --> 01:48:39,559 Speaker 3: Sounds like that that's. 2466 01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:42,000 Speaker 6: Exactly what it is from the NFL perspective, because the 2467 01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:44,000 Speaker 6: NFL is a TV show and they could care less 2468 01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:47,080 Speaker 6: about their ticket holders. So all that they're talking about, 2469 01:48:47,160 --> 01:48:49,759 Speaker 6: and granted it's not like one or two weeks notice. 2470 01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:53,200 Speaker 6: It was four weeks notice to switch the Thursday night schedule. 2471 01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:55,799 Speaker 6: But what they'd be voting on this week again, according 2472 01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:59,280 Speaker 6: to Sports Business Journal, is switching a game only twenty 2473 01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:02,080 Speaker 6: one days out instead of the current twenty eight days. 2474 01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:05,679 Speaker 6: So we're getting worse in that regard.

We were talking about the NCAA tournament, 2553 01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:13,080 Speaker 3: which again we really didn't disagree on. Arnie just cares 2554 01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:17,120 Speaker 3: about two things, Cinderella's and Buzzer buzzer beaters. And my 2555 01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:19,160 Speaker 3: point is I think people are watching from when that 2556 01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:21,160 Speaker 3: and the ratings are as high as they've ever been. 2557 01:53:21,840 --> 01:53:25,000 Speaker 3: Griddles Rights, I agree with you both. I watched beginning 2558 01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:28,120 Speaker 3: to end hoping for good games and mostly was disappointed. 2559 01:53:28,439 --> 01:53:31,559 Speaker 3: We'll see about the ratings next year. So in other words, 2560 01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:33,519 Speaker 3: your point is you don't know there's not gonna be 2561 01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,160 Speaker 3: buzzer beaters when you start watching it. Correct. The point 2562 01:53:36,200 --> 01:53:38,400 Speaker 3: is if it's bad games, you just tune it off anyways, 2563 01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:39,920 Speaker 3: and that kind of the thing that we talk about 2564 01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:40,560 Speaker 3: a lot. 2565 01:53:41,080 --> 01:53:43,679 Speaker 2: Well, but just still watching as you have your brackets. 2566 01:53:43,680 --> 01:53:46,360 Speaker 2: You want to make sure the team wins and you're advancing, 2567 01:53:46,439 --> 01:53:48,760 Speaker 2: and you know you're keeping an eye on that, and 2568 01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:51,200 Speaker 2: people do have bets and that's gonna, you know, keep 2569 01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:53,320 Speaker 2: you live betting too, So that's gonna keep you to 2570 01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:54,040 Speaker 2: the end of the game. 2571 01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:56,920 Speaker 3: I don't I think the people don't live bets is 2572 01:53:56,960 --> 01:53:59,200 Speaker 3: not a percentage that can drive TV ratings. 2573 01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:01,200 Speaker 2: Yet I was about the I think live betting is 2574 01:54:01,240 --> 01:54:03,960 Speaker 2: going to help ratings, you know, when games are blowouts 2575 01:54:04,200 --> 01:54:05,200 Speaker 2: and the game. 2576 01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:08,120 Speaker 3: I think, so there's just it's getting there. More states happen. 2577 01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:10,200 Speaker 3: I mean, how many sports. Do you have legalized sports 2578 01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:11,800 Speaker 3: wagering in right now? Do you know off the top 2579 01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:13,160 Speaker 3: of your head, I want to. 2580 01:54:13,120 --> 01:54:15,320 Speaker 4: Say at least thirty five to forty. 2581 01:54:15,040 --> 01:54:18,000 Speaker 3: Maybe let's see here at twenty thirty eight states? 2582 01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:19,800 Speaker 2: Okay, close and uh and. 2583 01:54:20,040 --> 01:54:23,720 Speaker 3: Washington, d C.

You think people that have 2598 01:55:01,320 --> 01:55:04,960 Speaker 3: an offshore account, you would trust an offshore account. 2599 01:55:05,160 --> 01:55:07,760 Speaker 2: Live betting is going to go ahead and maybe drive 2600 01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:08,440 Speaker 2: TV ratings. 2601 01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:10,280 Speaker 3: I agree, But if you're going to try to tell 2602 01:55:10,280 --> 01:55:15,680 Speaker 3: me that would you trust having an offshore account right now? Yeah? 2603 01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:16,040 Speaker 3: Why not? 2604 01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:18,280 Speaker 2: Those those things are trustworthy, aren't they? 2605 01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:22,960 Speaker 3: Moving on a couple of other tweets, my point to 2606 01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:25,840 Speaker 3: you is, I don't think yet that gambling is driving 2607 01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:28,840 Speaker 3: TV ratings, right. I don't think that's something to where 2608 01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:32,800 Speaker 3: live betting is keeping people around to the massive numbers 2609 01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,600 Speaker 3: who will affect TV ratings at time? Will it? Sure? 2610 01:55:35,960 --> 01:55:39,360 Speaker 3: But I guess Arenie and his pirate account offshore, and 2611 01:55:41,040 --> 01:55:43,040 Speaker 3: I guess everyone just because it's legal and Verma, well, 2612 01:55:43,080 --> 01:55:44,960 Speaker 3: you gotta have an account, can you sure? I can 2613 01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:47,640 Speaker 3: have my account, but I can't do anything with it. 2614 01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:51,120 Speaker 3: I got to drive into a state where gambling is legal. LJ. 2615 01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:56,160 Speaker 3: Don't look now. The Patriots are moving up the ladder 2616 01:55:56,200 --> 01:55:59,760 Speaker 3: in the AFC East, the divide they owned for most 2617 01:55:59,800 --> 01:56:02,680 Speaker 3: of the last thirty years. They have had a much 2618 01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:06,000 Speaker 3: better off season than the Dolphins and will soon supplant 2619 01:56:06,040 --> 01:56:09,200 Speaker 3: them as the division's second best, and then the Bills 2620 01:56:09,280 --> 01:56:09,960 Speaker 3: will be next. 2621 01:56:10,080 --> 01:56:11,680 Speaker 2: You know, I keep telling you the Dolphins didn't have 2622 01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:13,800 Speaker 2: to do a whole lot in the off season. That's 2623 01:56:13,800 --> 01:56:15,920 Speaker 2: why they probably didn't make a lot of moves. I've 2624 01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:17,680 Speaker 2: been seeing a lot of Patriot fans out of the 2625 01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:20,840 Speaker 2: here in the Northeast, thinking that they're looking good and 2626 01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:22,920 Speaker 2: they're ready for a big year this year. It's gonna 2627 01:56:22,920 --> 01:56:24,240 Speaker 2: be funny to see what happens there. 2628 01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:27,960 Speaker 3: Well, what if they've hit some home runs here? I 2629 01:56:28,040 --> 01:56:30,240 Speaker 3: kind of like what they've done this offseason so far 2630 01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:33,520 Speaker 3: and what they might do in the draft. I mean, 2631 01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:36,640 Speaker 3: in a matter, you gotta go do it on the field. 2632 01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:38,600 Speaker 3: But isn't there a part of you that looks at 2633 01:56:38,640 --> 01:56:40,040 Speaker 3: it says, oh no, what's going on here? 2634 01:56:40,280 --> 01:56:40,560 Speaker 4: Yeah? 2635 01:56:40,680 --> 01:56:41,120 Speaker 3: What do they have? 2636 01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:43,640 Speaker 2: The number four pick? Is that where they're picking at? 2637 01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:44,560 Speaker 3: They're picking number four? 2638 01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:46,880 Speaker 2: But I bet you they if anything happens, I bet 2639 01:56:46,920 --> 01:56:48,680 Speaker 2: you they trade down to go ahead and get more 2640 01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:49,280 Speaker 2: valued picks. 2641 01:56:49,440 --> 01:56:52,000 Speaker 3: Again, I don't know if there's many people that are 2642 01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:55,200 Speaker 3: fighting in scratching and clawing to trade up. But with 2643 01:56:55,240 --> 01:56:57,360 Speaker 3: that in mind, I didn't realize we hadn't taken our 2644 01:56:57,440 --> 01:56:59,440 Speaker 3: last break yet. So let's do it when we come back. 2645 01:56:59,480 --> 01:57:02,080 Speaker 3: Harney's pay, We'll take us home.

What am I gonna start picking it? 2659 01:57:42,040 --> 01:57:44,160 Speaker 2: We got one hundred and fifty nine more games to go. 2660 01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:46,160 Speaker 2: I don't need to go ahead and start jumping on 2661 01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:47,400 Speaker 2: baseball right now. 2662 01:57:47,960 --> 01:57:48,080 Speaker 6: Uh. 2663 01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:50,720 Speaker 2: Like I said, Final four, I'll be on the air 2664 01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:53,600 Speaker 2: Saturday night when the games are done with Jason Martin. 2665 01:57:53,600 --> 01:57:56,240 Speaker 2: As I sit in Fair and Torres, I gotta take 2666 01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:58,400 Speaker 2: four to minus the two and a half, especially with 2667 01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:00,880 Speaker 2: the injuries to Harborn, and I think I've got to 2668 01:58:00,920 --> 01:58:03,160 Speaker 2: take the under one sixty and a half. Little too 2669 01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:06,520 Speaker 2: many points there, I think, you know, you go through 2670 01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:08,680 Speaker 2: one of those stretches where there's you know, you don't 2671 01:58:08,680 --> 01:58:09,600 Speaker 2: have a bucket in like. 2672 01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:11,480 Speaker 4: Four minutes and it just kills the over. 2673 01:58:11,640 --> 01:58:14,360 Speaker 2: So give me Florida minus two and a half the 2674 01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:19,400 Speaker 2: under one sixty and a half. I love Duke minus 2675 01:58:19,440 --> 01:58:22,960 Speaker 2: four and a half against Houston. All due respect to 2676 01:58:23,080 --> 01:58:26,240 Speaker 2: Kelvin Samson. I think he's a great coach, but Duke 2677 01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:28,400 Speaker 2: is just too loaded. I'm gonna go with Duke and 2678 01:58:28,480 --> 01:58:30,000 Speaker 2: lay the four and a half. And this is what 2679 01:58:30,080 --> 01:58:34,480 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go over over one thirty six and a 2680 01:58:34,520 --> 01:58:37,840 Speaker 2: half because I think Houston's gonna be behind by so 2681 01:58:37,960 --> 01:58:40,120 Speaker 2: much they're gonna push it up a little bit. Uh, 2682 01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:42,520 Speaker 2: try to get some easy buckets that will create easy 2683 01:58:42,560 --> 01:58:45,640 Speaker 2: buckets for Duke.
