Speaker 2: By the way, did you see you on tied with.

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: Now with everybody, I know, all the cool kids.

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: I'm tied with Jonas. Remember Jonas himself, he was in

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: the league, you know, bragging about bagging about it. Didn't

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: hear mention it once today?

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm glad we took down. And when I say,

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 3: I mean you guys. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: Jonas was all hot. Yeah, it's uh man, we are

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: getting ready for the ship off now of the Illinois

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: Yukon game, followed by Clemson in Alabama. By the way,

25
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: this Clemson Alabama game coming up. Neither one of these

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: schools has ever been to a Final four. That's exciting

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: Clemson or Alabama. But when we think Clemson Alabama, what

28
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: do you think the national championship games that they play

29
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: for college football? Right, Clemson in Alabama and you know

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: Alabama now post Nick saman Clemson's been off the last

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: couple of years and suddenly they emerge as basketball powers.

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: Both these teams have the same record twenty four and eleven,

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: and one of these two schools is going to be

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: in the Final four. So half the field for the

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: final four will be decided coming up two days.

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: That's super exciting, but that can only add to the pressure, right,

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: knowing that you've never done this like ever, like that

38
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: has to be I don't care how ready you might

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: think you are, Those thoughts have to creep into your head.

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: It's being in a creepy creepy So I'm watching the

41
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: Clemson upset of Arizona, which is a team most people

42
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: had moving on Arizona, I did not see that one coming.

43
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: And they mentioned the fact that it's only the second

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: time ever the Clemson has made it to the Elite eight,

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: first time since nineteen eighty. And I'm like, I remember that.

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: I knew you were about to say that. I knew.

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: And the reason I remember it so well is I

48
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: was sports editor at UCLA and we played Clemson in

49
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: the Elite Eight, beat them to get to the Final four.

50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: And then the next thing, the announcer says, can you

51
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: believe that that's forty four years ago? That hurt When

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 2: I heard that. I'm just like, oh, that's you're right,

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: that's forty.

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh huh yeah, yeah, I don't remember.

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: You were long before you were even around at Yes,

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: but it's it's exciting, I mean, for one of these

57
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: two programs. Again. You think Clemson, you think Alabama, you

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: think football, you don't think basketball. I remember being when

59
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: Florida won back to back basketball championships in six and

60
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: seven with Joe Kim Noah and you know Hortford and

61
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: all those guys. The second year they won it, they

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: beat Ohio State in the championship game. This was down

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, and my broadcast partner and I were walking

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: out after they'd won the championship, and I'm you know,

65
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: this gotta be exciting. Back to back championships, right, And

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: I'm listening to some of these Gator fans are all

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: decked out and they're like, I can't wait to see

68
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: this Tim Tebow guy. I can't wait to see this

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: Tebow guy.

70
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: That's what they were talking about.

71
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: That's what they were talking about there. It's a football

72
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: school is and I'm like, for a second, can you say, hey,

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: we're the best in college basketball? You know, for a Kentucky, A,

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: Kansas at North Carolina, Duke Ucla. These are basketball schools

75
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: right where basketball reigns supreme. But most of these schools

76
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: are football oriented. So I don't know how much appreciation

77
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: the winner of this Clemson Alabama game is going to

78
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: get back home, getting to the Final four for the

79
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: first time in their school history.

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it's going to be better than that time.

81
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: You think, Yes, I'm going to take a guess that

82
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 3: it's a little bit more appreciated now, I would hope.

83
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 3: So in the moment, You're right in the moment, how

84
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: long will that moment last? Is the question?

85
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: Well, here's the point it all seems like at this

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: point there's no slowing down yu Kon.

87
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: No.

88
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, they look complete.

89
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: The looks so already. They've done something it's never been

90
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: done in NCAA tournament history. So if you look at

91
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: all six wins they had last year and the three

92
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: wins they've had this year, that's nine wins in a row,

93
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: all by at least thirteen points. That has never been

94
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: done in the history of the nca tournament. Not even

95
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: UCL the Heyday ever had a nine game run in

96
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: the tournament where they won every game by at least

97
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: thirteen points. So as dominant as Yukon was last year,

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: they look equally, if not more dominant this year.

99
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: I think they look more complete this year, and the

100
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: scores say it, But just watching them, you see a

101
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: little bit of You see it with your eyes. You

102
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: don't even need to look at the score. They look ready.

103
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: Maybe it was from what happened last year that they're,

104
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: you know, have a chip on their shoulder and they

105
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 3: just took it to the next level. But it really

106
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: does seem like they're cruising right now.

107
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: So Yukon favored over Illinois. Illinois, don't count out Illinois,

108
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: I know Yukon's not going to overlook them, that's for sure.

109
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: But Yukon obviously the favorite going into the Elite eight

110
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: and by the weekends in our final four is going

111
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: to be set now, Mansei. We just saw Iowa on

112
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: the women's side take care of Colorado easily. My UCLA

113
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: Bruins were hanging in as LSU. They was basically a

114
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: tie game late and then LSU finished like on a

115
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: fourteen to two run and put Ucla. I hate to

116
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: say this, but my bruins unraveled at the end of

117
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: that game.

118
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: That was the word. As I was watching the game.

119
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: I was doing a little workout and I had the

120
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: game on and it was a fun game to watch.

121
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 3: But you're right so close. They were up at halftime,

122
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: up with six five minutes to go, and then it

123
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: was just was it discipline?

124
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: Was it experience? They blew lay up committing turnovers.

125
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: Wow, Uns, you held it together.

126
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: Well, and there's a championship team and Kim Maulke their

127
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: coaches a lot of I mean, she is just going

128
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: crazy these days. She sh what's up with her? I mean,

129
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: you got it. I mean, if you're in a position

130
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: as Kim Malke is as one of the more celebrated

131
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: coaches college coaches in American any sport. You can't be

132
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: attacking the media. You can't be attacking social media. I

133
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: don't know where she thinks she's going with this.

134
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think she cares, Steve, I don't.

135
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: Did she does, or otherwise she wouldn't say anything.

136
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: No, But I think she's she doesn't care about what

137
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: she does with what she says. Did you read the

138
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: New York Post article? It finally came out right, It

139
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: was long. I read the whole thing and what I

140
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: got from it. I don't know much about Kim Moulkys.

141
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: I wasn't watching and when she was at Baylor, you know,

142
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: I don't know. All I know is what I see

143
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: the last couple of years with her being at LSU.

144
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: And like I just from reading that article I got

145
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: I was like, this is a lonely woman who just

146
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: wants to be at the top, and she doesn't care

147
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: to be alone at the top. So it's like all

148
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: of the criticism that I read, which I didn't think

149
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: it was anything that bad. Like a lot of the

150
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: more players were like, no, I think she's a great coach.

151
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: That's why I wanted to play for her. It just

152
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: was it seems as though she's okay with being this

153
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: tough lady because she wants to win.

154
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: But they brought up homophobic.

155
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: And somebody said a player formerly said in the article,

156
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: I don't think she was homophob homophobic. I went to

157
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: play for her. That was somebody.

158
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: But one of her girls said that. You know, she

159
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: was there with a girl on campus walking together, and

160
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: she said Coach Molki told her it's bad.

161
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: Luck, correct, and that you should keep it indoors, right right.

162
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: She did say that, And I just I guess the

163
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: reason I'm giving her not even like a past. All

164
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: I'm saying is her age, where she grew up. Like,

165
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 3: it's hard to break these ideas that you've had your

166
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: entire life. You know. I deal with it with my

167
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: own parents sometimes with thoughts that they have. And again

168
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: it's not a pass. It's just maybe when I have

169
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: conversations with my mom about certain things, it's hard to

170
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: break your thoughts that you have had since you were

171
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: a little kid and where you grew up and the

172
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: influence you've had, Like I think it's easier to change.

173
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: But then again, I'm younger than obviously than my parents,

174
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: and so I I'm not holding too much against her

175
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: for that. I think it has to do with where

176
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: she grew up and just her beliefs that she's had

177
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: her entire life. It's hard to break that.

178
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: Here's something I've talked about for many, many years, being

179
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: a sports fan my entire life and when you're in

180
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: those formative, young, formative years. I started really following sports

181
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: when I was seven, eight, nine years old. By the

182
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: time I'm nine years old, I am fully into following

183
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: sports year round, listening to games and everything else. Watching games,

184
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 2: and when you bring up race or sexual orientation or

185
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: any thing to define somebody as people tried to do,

186
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: that to me is a mood point in sports. To me,

187
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: it was like either you're a Dodger or you're not

188
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: a Dodger. You're a Laker or you're not a Laker.

189
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: Growing up in the Los Angeles area, I didn't I

190
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: didn't even think about anything other than the uniforms that

191
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: they were wearing. Seriously, and I just and so to me,

192
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: when I think about sports and the beauty of sports

193
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: in so many ways, it is progressive in the idea

194
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 2: that I mean I don't even go back to I mean,

195
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: this predates me, obviously, but when Jackie Robinson joined the

196
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Dodgers, there may have been some prejudices obviously for

197
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: his arrival in the Major League Baseball, But if you

198
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: were a Brooklyn Dodgers fan, you got over that real

199
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: quickly because immediately they were a better team with Jackie

200
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: Robinson on the team. And it didn't take long for

201
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: Brooklyn as a mass to become diehard Jackie Robinson fans,

202
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: and then Roy Campanella fans and Don Newcombe fans as

203
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: they continue to help that team get better better, And

204
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: that to me is how sort of the beauty of sports.

205
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: I don't think most of us think about in terms

206
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: of that. And so when people try to define players

207
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 2: by their sexual orientation, buy their skin color, by whatever

208
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 2: means they want to define them, other than the fact

209
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: that you know, in her case, or players play for

210
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: LSU or your background er Baylor days, I think it

211
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: misses the point.

212
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: You're not wrong. I disagree with I mean, I agree

213
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: with you, You're not wrong at all. I just I

214
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: think it's easier for some people. And I think you'd

215
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 3: be surprised at how many people do look at that

216
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 3: stuff just because you and I don't. But we also

217
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: grew up in Los Angeles.

218
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 2: We did, and it's a very different area, very different

219
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: a very different life in LA. All Right, we'll have

220
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: much more on this. We got a lot to talk

00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,400

259
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 2: we need to catch up on what's happening around the

260
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: National Football League, and there's only one person to confer with. He,

261
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: of course, is our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider, the

262
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: Great Adam Kaplan is joining us right now. Now, Adam,

263
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: I am in checking out your updated mock drafts, and

264
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: I have a question for you, because they're looking at

265
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: some other mock drafts. I don't hold them in the

266
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: same esteem as you, obviously, but the Commanders and the Patriots,

267
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: So you've been pretty steady here the last few weeks

268
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 2: with Jayden Daniels hanging on to that two slots of

269
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: the Commanders, Drake May going three to the Patriots, but

270
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: you had the reverse a few weeks ago, and now

271
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I see other mock drafts going

272
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: back to the original idea that Drake May would go

273
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: to Washington and Daniels would go to New England. So

274
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: what's happening with the Commanders and the Patriots in terms

275
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: of those two quarterbacks, And are either one of those

276
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: teams or both those teams still receptive to the idea

277
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: of trading out of those spots, trading down to pick

278
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: up a few extra picks.

279
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they're definitely open to trading.

280
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 6: It's just are they going to get the value for it,

281
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 6: Because typically when you trade up in the top ten,

282
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 6: you're doing it to get a quarterback. It's rare that

283
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 6: you would do it for any other position. So look,

284
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 6: just from the people I've spoken with, Daniels is the

285
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 6: better prospect versus May It's just a matter of.

286
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 5: System fit, which I wrote about.

287
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 6: Spoken with some coaches who work with Cliff Kingsbury, the

288
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 6: new offensive coordinator for Washington. He prefers a quarterback that's mobiles.

289
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 6: Jane Daniels really would fill that Drake made is more

290
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 6: of the pocket passer. New England is starting over. They

291
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 6: know they need offensively, they just don't have very much talent.

292
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 6: On one of my reports for profoblenework dot Com, I'd

293
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 6: said that the Patriots have been looking for and calling

294
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 6: teams for veteran receivers and they're looking at some big

295
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 6: names out there as I understand it, So they know

296
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 6: they have to rebuild a receiver's position. They have some

297
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 6: issues on their offensive line, they have a quarterback issue,

298
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 6: so they've got a lot of.

299
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 5: Work to do.

300
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: Adam on your mock draft you have my Chargers taking

301
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: an edge with the fifth round pick. We need a receiver.

302
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: We don't think we have it on the roster, Like,

303
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: what are we going to do?

304
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, it would either be right there, Monty. It would

305
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 6: either be at five. It's either going to be League

306
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 6: Neighbors or Dallas Turner. I have Dallas Turner. Now I

307
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 6: may change my mind. It's just a matter of Remember

308
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 6: the draft is for the future. It's with less of

309
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 6: an eye in the season. Sure, twenty five percent of

310
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 6: it player's career is gonna be year one. Now, if

311
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 6: it works out, you're hoping it's only ten percent of

312
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 6: the guy's career. So their needs for the future are

313
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 6: at receiver and edge rusher. Remember Bose has missed a

314
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 6: lot of time. He turns twenty nine and Club Mac

315
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 6: is thirty three, so they're gonna have to replace him.

316
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 6: And remember both of those guys toick pay cuts. So

317
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 6: it makes sense Dallas Turner's the best edruacher for this draft.

318
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 5: Now.

319
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 6: The only part of the reason why didn't go with

320
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 6: Neighbors is you kind of know what's coming here. They're

321
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 6: gonna run the football. This is what this is what

322
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 6: Jim Harball wants. He's got Greg Roman, one of the

323
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 6: best run game designers in the last twenty five years.

324
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 5: He got the Super Bowl with the Niners as.

325
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 6: A run first team with Harriball many years ago, over

326
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 6: ten years ago. Now, So it's going to be either

327
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 6: a right now, I've got turned, but I reserve the

328
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 6: right to change my mind again.

329
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: We're four weeks out, Yeah, stay with the Chargers for

330
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: a moment here. So DraftKings puts out there over under

331
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: on wins on the season. Yeah, and you can see

332
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: the trends and the Chargers listed at eight and a half,

333
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: and money's pouring in on the over. And I'm like,

334
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: this team was five and twelve last year and Keenan

335
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: Allen is gone, Mike Williams is gone. They're gonna have

336
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: to rebuild as far as they're receiving Corps concerned. I'm

337
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: a big believer in Jim Harbaugh, but not overnight. I mean,

338
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: can you see this Charger team, because I'm thinking in

339
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: my head a lot of things are gonna have to

340
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: go right if they actually can have a winning record

341
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 2: this year, which would be the over with nine wins,

342
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: do you see that happening or is this a bigger

343
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: rebuilding job to get to that level that obviously they're

344
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: aspiring to. Then a lot of people are seeing right now.

345
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

346
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 6: In fact, if you look at the odds just for

347
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 6: the divis vision right, and that we're excluding wins, Chiefs

348
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 6: are surprisingly only only minus two hundred. I would I

349
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 6: would think by trying Camp will be minus four hundred,

350
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 6: if not higher the Chargers of plus three hundred. That's

351
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 6: not good odds. They're on your question and your point.

352
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 6: They're a team that is kind of in a semi

353
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 6: rebuild here. They need major work in their secondary, got

354
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 6: some missues on the offensive line. They need two starting receivers.

355
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 6: I don't know if they're Sulti Quintin Johnston. Remember Tom Telesca,

356
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 6: the former general manager, made the pick while he's with

357
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 6: the Raiders now same division. They love Josh Palmer Moore

358
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 6: as their third receiver who's on the final years rookie deal.

359
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 6: So they've got a lot of work to do. This

360
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 6: is a run first team. They'll be able to get five, six,

361
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 6: maybe seven wins, and look, Justin Herbert needs to get

362
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 6: back to where he was a few years ago.

363
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 3: All right, moving away from the draft, Adam what is

364
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 3: the latest with Stefan Diggs and the Bills. About two

365
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: weeks ago, he started tweeting something saying that he was

366
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: ready for whatever. He retweeted a family feud video where

367
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 3: it talks about how he ranks in wide receivers and

368
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: put in cas there's any confusion. What is the latest

369
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 3: with him and the Bills.

370
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got four years left on his contract.

371
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 6: He's got massive cap He's got a massive cap number,

372
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 6: a big cash number. Cash is over nineteen million, almost

373
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 6: twenty eight million dollar cap number. The thing is, though,

374
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 6: with his contract, it's his base salary became fully guaranteed

375
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 6: back in mid March, so it's there at the point

376
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 6: now where they could look, by the way he faded

377
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 6: last season, they could look to replace him. You know,

378
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 6: he does turn thirty one years old. This could very

379
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 6: well be the last year that he's with the club.

380
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 6: That he's got a lot of time. And the thing is,

381
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 6: when you're a fading player in your thirties at that

382
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 6: position and with that contract, it's going to be hard

383
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 6: to trade him.

384
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: Now.

385
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 6: They signed Curtis Samuel is more of a number two

386
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 6: if number three receiver, and remember they let gave Davis

387
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 6: Walk He's now starting for the Jaguars, So one of

388
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 6: the many Now that, by the way, that's a team

389
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 6: that needs a lot of work in their secondary. They

390
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 6: need to kind of rebuild it. We have four new

391
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 6: starters in their secondary. Folks, Wh's the last time you've

392
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 6: seen that before?

393
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 5: Adam?

394
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: What was your biggest takeaway from the league meetings?

395
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 5: Well, it would be on the rules.

396
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 6: And I didn't quite realize first of all when I

397
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 6: got there Monday afternoon. You know, I was just looking

398
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 6: into a couple of things, and one of them was

399
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 6: the kickoff rule, whether it pass And the word around

400
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 6: the league was Monday is that it wasn't going to pass.

401
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 6: But Roger Dalazy typically does when he thinks something is

402
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 6: good for the league and the fans will like this.

403
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 6: He could be convincing, and as I understand it, he

404
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 6: it's it's not his decisions to the owners, but he

405
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 6: got word passed around if this is a good thing.

406
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 6: The demonstration that to current NFL Special teams coaches gave

407
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 6: and the Competition committee gave, the owners got convinced and

408
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 6: it actually wanted a landside. We're they're now going to

409
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 6: use the UFL kickoff role, which is really different. And

410
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 6: by the way, the UFL is just starting this week

411
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 6: and we've got games today and tomorrow. Check your localists.

412
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 6: But that's a big change. And I'll tell you what

413
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 6: they think we could have. Last year, we had a actually.

414
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 5: Only the lowest in NFL history.

415
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 6: Twenty two percent of kicks were only return They're projected

416
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 6: to have as high as sixty percent of the kicks

417
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 6: return the season. That's their projection, and that's what they're

418
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 6: expecting with their drastic change and the kickoff rule.

419
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: Well, here's the irony of the situation. The UFL dumped

420
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: their rule. So this was so I'm watching UFL today

421
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 2: and I heard that they dumped it. Did they had

422
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: just a conventional kickoff? And I'm like, really, wow, I

423
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 2: will say this thing.

424
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 5: I didn't realiz. Yeah, yeah, there was no talk of that.

425
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: To dam Yeah, they actually dumped it, And which is irony.

426
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: I think it was in the XFL where they had

427
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: this rule. Of course, it's the merger of the USFL

428
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: and XFL. Believe me, it's still unwatchable. I'm sorry. I

429
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: get the idea of a minor league, maybe a developmental

430
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: league like NFL Europe was way back in the day,

431
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: but watch it is a whole different beast. But the

432
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: thing about this rule, if you again look at the

433
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: logistics of this new kickoff rule, it's very simple. You

434
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: got twenty guys bunched up in a five yard span

435
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: in the middle of the field, and there's going to

436
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: be holes. And if you got a really good return

437
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: guy that can find the hole, he's gone. I mean,

438
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 2: once he gets through that cluster of players, the only

439
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: guy left is the kicker. And I in fact, I've

440
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: been hearing some people in their fantasy football league saying

441
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: we may have to reinstate special team scoring into the

442
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 2: equation because there is an anticipation and I'm sure this

443
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 2: is what the NFL is looking for. You mentioned Roger

444
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: Goodell trpening in this cause is that we want to

445
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: see kickoff returns for touchdowns. I mean, the logistics certainly

446
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: favor that. You know, if you kick the ball out

447
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: of the end zone, guess what team gets the ball

448
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: in what the thirty five yard line?

449
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 5: It's thirty five or forty might have been the forty.

450
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's so there's no play in that. Yeah,

451
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: But they really want you to kick it in that

452
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 2: that you know, goal line to twenty yard span and

453
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: if it lands there, it has to be returned. Yeah,

454
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: but we could see, you know, Devin Hester's records destroyed

455
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: with this new kickoff rule.

456
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: Oh but one thing to add, and the reason why

457
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 6: they're expecting this to be great, is that you can't

458
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 6: run downfield though you're though the coverage line is much

459
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 6: closer to the returning team, but you cannot get the

460
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 6: running start that you used to get. That's that is

461
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 6: the biggest reason why you're going to see big plays.

462
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 6: You can't get that same running start. And it's just

463
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 6: it's gonna look different. I mean, I watched the video

464
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 6: this week, the NFL's demonstration. It's kind of weird. I've

465
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 6: got to be honest with you. I just and Rich

466
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 6: McKay from the Competition Committee as a president of the Falcons,

467
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 6: explain that it's a drastic change. He was aware of it.

468
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 6: Fans are gonna look at this school. What are we

469
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 6: looking at here? But it's gonna be a much more

470
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 6: exciting place, Steve, And as you said, there's a potential

471
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 6: for a lot of big places, which is what Rogerdell

472
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 6: wants because we could say what we want about Roger,

473
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 6: but he is a little bit more fran Fit friendly

474
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 6: than you think.

475
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other point of this is is that you

476
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: basically have ten guys on the kickoff team in the

477
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: line at the forty yard line, and then five yards

478
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: in front of them are the nine or ten guys

479
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: for the receiving team, depending on how many return guys

480
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 2: you have, But no one in that group can move

481
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: until the ball lands or is caught at the other end. Well,

482
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 2: if you're on the kickoff team, you can see it,

483
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: but if you're on the receiving team, you literally have

484
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: to look behind you to actually understand when that ball lands,

485
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: and then you might have to turn around and you

486
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: got some guy literally five yards in front of you

487
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 2: coming after you. Again, all these rules are on a

488
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: one year basis. Okay, let's make that click.

489
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 6: They are, But I could tell you the way things

490
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 6: work in this league. When they say that if they

491
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 6: love what it looks like, they sometimes crowbar some things

492
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 6: in just we'll see. You're right, Steve, that's in their statement,

493
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 6: But I know the way things work. Covering This is

494
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 6: my twenty fifth year of cover the National Football League.

495
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 6: What they say sometimes is not what they actually do.

496
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: Well. I do remember one role that got rid of,

497
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 2: and that was the review of the past interference.

498
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 5: Oh that was the dumb that you knew.

499
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: That guy knew one year and you're done.

500
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 6: Well because they wanted to make example to show how

501
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 6: ridiculous was and it was ridiculous.

502
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 2: Adam, great stuff. I mean, we got a lot to do,

503

00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 7: Braves and the Phillies. Braves jumped out early Inness when

556
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 7: Philly trying to fight back eight to four in favor

557
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 7: of Atlanta. And like you said, Steve earlier today, the

558
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 7: uffl u FL not USFL that died last year. This

559
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,600

00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 7: just check your local listings. These games will be on Fox,

561
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 7: like out of Kaplin just said a minute ago. The

562
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 7: kickoff game the Birmingham Stallions beat the Arlington Renegades twenty

563
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,600

00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 7: played at four field than Detroit.

567
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, well and again, the thing about

568
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: the UFL is the appeal is to the gambling portion

569
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: of our country. I mean, they'll bet on anything, could

570
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: be Tiddley Wings, it doesn't matter if they And if

571
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 2: you know, first week of any you know, new league

572
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 2: like this is now for the merger between the USFL

573
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 2: and the XFL to create the ufluh, I'm sure there

574
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 2: are a lot of people taking advantage that really did

575
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 2: their homework week one on who's actually good and who's not.

576
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll see how this goes. It wasn't exactly

577
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: a raucous crowd they had in Arlington for that first game.

578
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: There were not very few people.

579
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 7: But one thing I do is tough day to launch

580
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 7: a new football league like baseball is on day like

581
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 7: three of the season. You got Women's college basketball is

582
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 7: more popular than it's ever been right now, like.

583
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: I've been locked into these games. What is the big

584
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what's the biggest sport in this country right now? Yeah,

585
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: the NFL is the biggest sports.

586
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 5: Nave.

587
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, football, football is the biggest sport right right.

588
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: But this isn't that. This is not the NFL.

589
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: It's football. I mean, that's the argument for spring football.

590
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: Is football's football?

591
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think people feel that way.

592
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: I didn't think so. I don't know who it is

593
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 2: who Luis Perez? Actually I do know that is because

594
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 2: Matt Corral was out there. Wow, Matt Corral. Anyway, we'll

595
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: see how the usl UFL UFL isn't it? How you

596
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: got me going? All right? Once again, this is Fox

597
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: Sports Saturday, Steve Harvey, Montsey Belanos. We are live from

598
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: the ti rach dot com studios. We're talking earlier about

599
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 2: Kim Moulkey in this New York Post article. Apparently the

600
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: LA Times all side an article.

601
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 3: Oh did they?

602
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 9: Oh?

603
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

604
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: Before this UCLA matchup. The La Times article portrayed it

605
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: as good versus evil.

606
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 3: They're talking about the Post article? Is that what they're

607
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 3: This was.

608
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: The lead in article for the matchup that happened today

609
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: between LSU and UCLA. The La Times said it was

610
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: a matter of that Lsu Describedlis. The La Times subscribed

611
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: Lsu as dirty deputants and UCLA as milk and cookies.

612
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 3: Wow.

613
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: In addition, the article portrayed the matchup is good versus evil,

614
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: right versus wrong, inclusive versus divisive, and so Mulkie ripped

615
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: the article saying, you can come after me all you want. Well,

616
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: when you come after my players, that's a different thing.

617
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: And on top of that, now she has to get

618
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: ready for Caitlin Clark.

619
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 10: Wow.

620
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: The La Times came out swinging.

621
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they really laid it out.

622
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they really did what I think we thought The

623
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: New York Post was gonna do. I did not know

624
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: that those are fighting words. I would also be mad

625
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 3: if I was Kim Moulkey, and I agree it's like

626
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: come at me, don't come at the players. But really

627
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: this is more of to me. It's like, clearly you

628
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 3: just there's a bit of jealousy I think when it

629
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: comes to what Kim Molkey has done right, because it's like,

630
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: even though we hear that she is not this fuzzy

631
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 3: warm coach, people still want to play for her. People

632
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: are still talking about her, and she is successful successful.

633
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: She knows what she is doing. The discipline that LSU

634
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 3: had today against your UCLA showed how much they trust

635
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: whatever she is selling. Like, I was just so impressed

636
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: at how they held their composure. They at the end

637
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 3: when it mattered, they delivered.

638
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: Their star angel Rees said, we're the good villains. Everybody

639
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: wants to beat LSU. Everyone wants to be LSU. You've

640
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: got a real lize. We're not any regular basketball team.

641
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: Were just changing the game.

642
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 5: You know.

643
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 2: That reminds me, of course, is the U back in

644
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: the day in college football? You know, when the University

645
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 2: of Miami suddenly hit the scene in the eighties, no

646
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: one had ever seen anything like this. You had traditional powers,

647
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: you had Notre Dame, you had Michigan, had Ohio State,

648
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: you had USC and here comes the U. They had

649
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: no history. I was like that and all of a sudden, overnight,

650
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: the U becomes this superpower in college football. And they

651
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: had a certain attitude. They had a certain way of

652
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: doing things that made a lot of people uncomfortable. That's

653
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: a good word, but they used it in their own favor.

654
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: There was an intimidation factor. And I'm not saying that

655
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 2: this LSU basketball team's doing anything dirty. But what they

656
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: are doing is they're gaining a reputation and there's an

657
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: intimidation factor. And they showed it again against UCLA. This

658
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: was a back and forth game. For the last few

659
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: minutes of that game, LSU just took over blew Ucla

660
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: off the court. Now they have the rematch of last

661
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: year's championship game. I remember how it worked last year.

662
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: A lot of people were actually following the ladies' tournament

663
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: for the first time, maybe ever, last year, and you

664
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: had IOWA with a huge upset, obviously against undefeated South

665
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: Carolina in the semi and Caitlin Clark all of a sudden,

666
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: this girl and they played LSU, and LSU just blew

667
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: them out of the building.

668
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they definitely had the game plan against Kaitlyn Clark.

669
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see what Iowa does this time. Yeah,

670
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 3: because they handled it perfectly like they Kaitlyn Clark. They said,

671
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,239
Speaker 3: all right, we're going to let her do part of

672
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: what she does, but that's it. We're not gonna let

673
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 3: We're gonna make everything so hard for her. Because Kaitlin

674
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 3: Clark isn't just a scorer. She dishes.

675
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: She had fifteen assistans. Yeah, yeah, like, which tied her

676
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: career high by the way.

677
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 3: She does it all. But last year LSU was like,

678
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 3: we're just gonna let you do one thing, and it

679
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 3: was enough to stop them. So I'm curious to see

680
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: how Iowa handles it this year.

681
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: The most impressive stat I've seen on Kaitlin Clark was

682
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: shown today. So in her college career at Iowa, she's

683
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: had sixty five games in which he's had at least

684
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: twenty five points, five rebounds, and five assists in that game.

685
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: The second most biggest total in that twenty five to

686
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 2: five and five for a career in the women's side

687
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: history is sixteen games. Oh, she's done it sixty five

688
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: times times. Wow, well that is an impressive stat.

689
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: That is very impressive.

690
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 2: No other woman on had ever done more than sixteen

691
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 2: times twenty five to five and five. She's done it

692
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: sixty five times in her career. So this is I

693
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 2: just what kind of audience are we going to see

694
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 2: on Monday? How big is this game going to be?

695
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 3: I'm excited. I think it's going to be the biggest one.

696
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 3: I'm we're gonna next week when we're here, We're going

697
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: to say it had the biggest crowd X, like the

698
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 3: most people watch that game.

699
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: It could be like right, yeah, I mean we could

700
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 2: be seeing the biggest numbers ever for a women's college

701
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: basketball game, or any women's basketball game.

702
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 3: I don't even think it's a question.

703
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 5: All right.

704
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, Well, we had show

705
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: heo Tani said I never did anything wrong.

706

Speaker 3: Leave show alone.

707
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: Should we believe show Haotani? Is it time to just

Speaker 2: sample today. Now, I don't bake anything. I don't cook anything.

717
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 3: That's probably a good thing.

718
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: Well, my ex she is the baker extraordinaire. I was

719
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 2: a little worried because these were baked like four days ago.

720
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 3: No, they're delicious. Also, I love this song that Mary

721
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 3: Mack is playing. I've seen Beyonce in concerts several times.

722
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 3: This is Beyonce, Steve Hartman Love on Top. And if

723
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 3: I had any type of vocal talent, I would sing

724
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 3: to you right now. But I don't, so I'm not

725
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 3: going to do that to either of us anyway.

726
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: You let me ask you this. Let me ask you this.

727
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 2: Can you sing along with Beyonce songs more than Taylor songs? Ah?

728
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 9: I want a question. Hold on, I thought a question.

729
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 9: I have to put my input. You have an answer

730
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 9: to the question that you would you you would be

731
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 9: delusional if you tooth Taylor over Beyonce.

732
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 3: I will say that there's Beyonce songs that I Taylor's

733
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 3: songs are easier to sing along to. Yeah, They're simpler.

734
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 3: Yeah right so yeah, so that's why I would say Taylor,

735
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 3: They're just easier to sing along to compared to Like.

736
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 2: Let me put you guys up against it. Though. If

737
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 2: you were to be locked into a room and have

738
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: to hear a continuous loop of either Beyonce music or

739
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: Taylor music, which would you choose?

740
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 9: Oh, I would toose Beyonce. Give me I don't even

741
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 9: like I don't really listen to Beyonce. But give me

742
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 9: Beyonce all day.

743
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 3: That's a that's a hard one for me. I'm not

744
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 3: gonna lie to you.

745
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: I know it is.

746
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 3: That's like Sophie's choice.

747
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 2: Then you're right, that's an impossion.

748
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 9: You belong with me by Taylor Swift maybe, but like

749
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 9: if it was old Taylor.

750
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, for Taylor, but probably Beyonce.

751
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: I really, I don't. I don't know, Steve. I don't

752
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 3: like this question. I don't want to be on record.

753
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 6: All right.

754
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give you another a dilemma. And that is

755
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 2: what's face before started, what you started this, I didn't

756
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: even think about it involving you in a Beyonce versus Taylor.

757
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 7: Listen, listen. I have an eclectic taste of music. And

758
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 7: I will say this right here, right now. The reason

759
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 7: why Taylor songs are easier to think is because she

760
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 7: would She only dreams of having the vocal range that

761
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 7: Beyonce doesn't.

762
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,240
Speaker 3: And I don't disagree with that at all.

763
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Beyonce have the vocal range of Mariah Carey.

764
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 10: H No, Mariah's is higher. Yeah, she does the whispering,

765
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 10: not so her raing.

766
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 7: Beyonce is the pre eminent performer of our of our generation,

767
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 7: and we like, I understand that Taylor's with may sell

768
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 7: out like this football stadium and so on, but this

769
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 7: new stuff, I'm not, no, no Beyonce is the answer,

770
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 7: point blank, period.

771
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 9: There's a reason why Kanye, you know, went up on

772
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 9: the VMA stage and you know it said all that

773
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 9: stuff about Beyonce.

774
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 3: So I mean, he's also cuckoo for Coca pubs.

775
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 10: But sure fastly I.

776
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 2: Did I hear one person say my only criticism of

777
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift is that she's thirty four and she's still

778
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 2: acting like she's seventeen. You're their boyfriends and everything else,

779
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: like the heartbreaks and everything else, Like it was sort

780
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 2: of cool when you're like eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old

781
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 2: writing these songs, but when you're still doing at age

782
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 2: thirty four, well four go to work the next day,

783
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: like like get over it.

784
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 3: And also like, I'm not married. I'm the same age

785
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 3: as Taylor Swift, and so I think that's just like,

786
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: that's that's dumb. If she had like multiple ex husbands

787
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 3: and she had like kids, but she's maintained a.

788
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: Single life, but a heartbreak at age thirty four should

789
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: be different than it was when you were seventeen.

790
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 9: When did Dolly Parton come out with Joline Like that's

791
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 9: you know, and like she was at probably that age.

792
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, she still hard. I'm just talking from

793
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 2: a guy's standpoint here.

794
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 3: He's I mean, sorry for no reason.

795
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: Wake ups for me at thirty were different than when

796
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: I was, you know, because.

797
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: The first time you experience it, it's you never experienced

798
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 3: it before.

799
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 2: So but Taylor stiff seems like the first time she's

800
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: ever experienced it every time.

801
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 3: So let's give her credit for that because she's able

802
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 3: to portray that at the age of thirty four, what

803
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 3: you've done here.

804
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: To jump in like no, no, no, no, we're not

805
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 2: doing this, Patrick, You're not gonna not even right, not.

806
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 4: Even I mean, to be fair, I'll if I had

807
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 4: to pick, I'm gonna go.

808
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 10: I'm gonna do my sister Justice.

809
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: I'm a pig. Taylor give me Tata.

810
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 3: I really don't. I'm not picking because I don't want

811
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 3: to be on record. I don't know, guys, I don't know.

812
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 3: I would pay.

814
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: next football season. Will she be missus Travis Kelcey.

815
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, she would. I don't think though, I think so. Yes, Yes,

816
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 3: I think so Martin.

817
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to no, no, why dating for less than

818
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 2: a year when you see pretty fat?

819
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 3: When you know you know Martin? And that's what her

820
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 3: next song? When you know you know right here mark

821
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: it down. But you know you know her next song.

822
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: I know that I talk about my ex. But the

823
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 2: fact is I asked her to marry me seven months

824
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: to the day that we met. Seven months but Steve

825
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 2: didn't know. That's why I did. I mean, we were

826
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 2: married twenty years, we have three beautiful children, We're still

827
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: different friends.

828
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 3: She makes me cookies. I mean it seems like a

829
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 3: pretty good relationship.

830
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: Nobody can live with me, you know that. I mean,

831
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 2: come on, can you ask me to be married to me?

832
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 7: If you're putting the over other September whatever, September seventh,

833
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 7: when football kicks off, I'll take the over all right,

834
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 7: So that's it.

835
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 2: Well, I'll go by September first. That let's to make

836
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 2: it an easy day to remember. September first, will Travis

837
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: Kelcey be married to Taylor Swift? I'll take I'm taking

Speaker 2: the over and I'm calling my shot now. Christmas Eve proposal.

839
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 2: You're taking the over? How about the never? How about that?

840
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 2: All right? Coming up on the other side, the latest

841
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: on show, Hey Otani and Major League Baseball. This is

842
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday. Yeah, rolling along here on another busy

843
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: sports Saturday, Fox Sports Saturday. We're broadcasting live from the

844
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: ti iraq dot com studios, tire rack dot com. We're

845
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: gonna help get you there. And on matt Selection, fast

846
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: free shipping, free road hazard protection, over ten thousand recommended installers,

847
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 2: tire i raq dot com, the way tire buying should be.

848
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: All right. So obviously we're getting ready for half of

849
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: the final four to be decided on the men's side today,

850
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 2: and right now, Yukon only up five at the half,

851
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: so Illinois is hanging in there. And again the stat

852
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 2: that I threw out before the tournament, even though I

853
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: did pick Yukon to win it. By the way, the

854
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: last six NCAA champions had all made the tournament the

855
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 2: following year and none of them even made it to

856
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: the sweet sixteen, so already Yukon obviously has gone past that.

857
00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 2: The other point about I mentioned in the last forty

858
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 2: four zero NCAA tournaments, the team ranked number one in

859
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: the country going into the tournament, which Yukon is has

860
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 2: only won the championship four times in forty years. It

861
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 2: has not happened since twenty twelve with the Anthony Davis

862
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 2: led Kentucky team. So you know, you look at Yukon,

863
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 2: they just seems so unbeatable. And then but that's the

864
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 2: thing about the nca Basketball Tournament. You have one bad day,

865
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: the other team suddenly has one guy just shoot the

866
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 2: lights out and you're done up until.

867
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 3: Don't you think this round of the tournament though, it's

868
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 3: been pretty like the right team has won. There haven't

869
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 3: been upsets up until this Sweet sixteen, Like, we don't

870
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 3: have a Cinderella story. Somebody that got knocked out.

871
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: NC State is in the Elite.

872
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 3: Eight, correct, And I actually I agree.

873
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 2: They were on a roll obviously winning the ACC tournament, right.

874
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 3: Didn't have to win like five games in five days.

875
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: It happened to Yukon in twenty eleven. I remember when

876
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 2: it happened. I mean five games in five days, and

877
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: then they went on to win the national championship, and

878
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: you're like, how is that possible?

879
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 3: They're on a roll. They're on a roll, for sure,

880
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 3: but yeah, up until this round, we haven't had a

881
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 3: major upset. We haven't had a Cinderella story. And I

882
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 3: agree that NC State seems to have that. We're going

883
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 3: to see, you know what they're going to do next.

884
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 3: But yeah, because defeating Market, I did not have that

885
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 3: at all.

886
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 2: No, no one had that. Well, the Cinderella, to some degree,

887
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 2: will ironically be one of the most famous football rivalries

888
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: of the last decade. Clemson in Alabama. Neither school's ever

889
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: been to the Final Four, but one of them will

890
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: be when the sixth seed Clemson team takes on the

891
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 2: four seed Alabama. That'll be the second game today. All right,

892
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 2: so we have all over the NCAA basketball tournament. Of course,

893
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 2: I'm more excited now that my you know, my.

894
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 3: Brackets are looking much better. You're so annoying.

895
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 2: I honestly, I didn't think there was a mathematical chance

896
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: I could actually pass.

897
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 3: I know, I thought that.

898
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 2: Woke up this morning. I'm like, what the heck happen here?

899
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 2: I'm actually passed more and.

900
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 3: Fiat, also, you just told me that, just so I

901
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 3: stopped looking.

902
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 2: And tomorrow, actually I got Carrie in for rich tomorrow,

903
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: oh I know, And I passed Carrie too.

904
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 3: Oh, he's gonna be so mad. He's gonna be so

905
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 3: mad when you bring this up, because he has been.

906
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 3: I ran into Carrie last week during well before a

907
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 3: round of sixteen or the Sweet sixteen. I ran into

908
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 3: carry at Roccos on a venturo, which is like a

909
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 3: sports bar. He was there by himself, watching all the

910
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 3: games by himself, and I asked him, do you want

911
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 3: to join me and my friends? He said, I'm watching

912
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,959
Speaker 3: the games, no joke, I'm watching the games. Okay, Cary,

913
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 3: He's really into it, so he's gonna be real mad.

914
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 2: Well, it's Louisville Cardinal's avenue coach, so he's excited about that.

915
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 2: All right. I want to get back to something I

916
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: was going to talk about before we got to our

917
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 2: Beyonce versus Taylor Swift conversation conversation, and that is the

918
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: show Heyo Tani situation, which I know Major League Baseball

919
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 2: is praying will just go away, but I don't know

920
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 2: how it can one hundred percent. So shoe a Otani

921
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 2: finally came out, had a press conference to address this situation.

922
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 2: Through an interpreter, said that not only was he not

923
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 2: involved in any way in this gambling scandal, but he's

924
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 2: never gambled on anything completely clean on this and Pete Rose,

925
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 2: of all people, put it out on his little social

926
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 2: media and then's something along the lines of, gee I

927
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 2: wish I had had an interpreter. In other words, he said, gee,

928
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 2: I wish I had a fall guy. And look, I'm

929
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 2: a big fan of show hey Otani. What he has

930
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 2: done in his career, obviously has never been done in

931
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: the history of baseball. I fought against so many people

932
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 2: who are trying to make the Babe Ruth comparison. I

933
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 2: go no, no, no, no. Babe Ruth had basically a year

934
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 2: and a half where he was transitioning from being a

935
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 2: pitcher to a full time outfielder. He was not doing this.

936
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: There has never been a player ever like Sho hey

937
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 2: o Tani. And it's really great for baseball and I'm

938
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: a baseball fan, but the stories just don't add up.

939
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 2: And remember this all started with an investigation of an

940
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 2: illegal gambling operation here booking operation in California where sports

941
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: gambling is illegal, and we're talking millions and millions and

942
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 2: millions of dollars. This is not something you know, like

943
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 2: local bookie here. I mean this is a huge operation,

944
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: and you got shohey Atani's name all over the place,

945
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: and you're saying yourself, all right, so this guy has

946
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 2: been inseparable. The La Times did a actually ESPN did

947
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 2: a big piece about the relationship between show Hey and

948
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 2: this interpreter and anyone that was around the angels the

949
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: last six years. Says, you never saw them apart ever.

950
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 2: Ever from the time you know, he was literally side

951
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: by side. So the idea that he would have no idea,

952
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 2: no idea all that this guy is stealing millions and

953
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 2: millions and millions of dollars, it just doesn't make any sense.

954
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 3: So I'm with you that it doesn't make sense, especially

955
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 3: the order of events right how they came out. But

956
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 3: there's a couple of things throughout the years that we

957
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 3: have known about Shoho Tani, or at least we all assume,

958
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 3: and we can tell that he has been a very

959
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 3: private man. We don't really know much about him, and

960
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 3: he has kept his life private. We also know he

961
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 3: seems or no, no, we all assume he seems like

962
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 3: a simple man. And Japan, those people are very loyal

963
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 3: like that is a big part of their culture. That's

964
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 3: a big part of them. So I don't disagree with

965
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 3: you that there are maybe some weird things when it

966
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 3: comes to the story, But part of me does believe

967
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 3: that he could truly have had no idea based on

968
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 3: like the little things that I know of Joe Hey,

969
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 3: and that he's just a simple dude, a private dude.

970
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 3: I wish I remember who. I'm trying to look for

971
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,439
Speaker 3: it on Twitter. There was a guy on Twitter and

972
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 3: he was an interpreter for a player in baseball, And

973
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 3: when I looked up his profile, he had thousands of followers,

974
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 3: and he was just saying that when he was an

975
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 3: interpreter for the player that he was working with, that

976
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 3: it's basically like you have a brand new baby coming

977
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 3: into a country, and he's like, I had to open

978
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 3: up bank accounts for him. I had to do the

979
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 3: most basic of things I had to do for him.

980
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 3: So this idea that there's no way his interpreter had

981
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 3: this much control or had access to this stuff, I

982
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 3: think it is normal.

983
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 2: But wasn't anybody else watching his bank accounts?

984
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 3: So I read also that his mother was the one

985
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 3: that's like responsible in a sense for his bank accounts.

986
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 3: And again loyalty, I think is what is the big

987
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 3: part here that maybe they didn't think they had to

988
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 3: look into this. I trust me, I hear myself, and

989
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 3: it's like, are you really believing this? That's like I

990
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 3: kind of do well.

991
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 2: The loyalty thing then would explain the first story that

992
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 2: came out, which was is that as a friend show

993
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 2: Hey o Tani, you know was covering his gambling debts.

994
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 2: But we're not talking.

995
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 3: We're talking right, that's not the story anymore.

996
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: When mean, when you're talking four point five million dollars?

997
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 3: Yes, sad, do you know how.

998
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 2: Much money you've gambled to get to that number? I'm

999
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 2: assuming you want to bet once in a while. We're

1000
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 2: probably talking tens of millions of dollars.

1001
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 3: And what would you for your money? We know you

1002
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,760
Speaker 3: have a lot of it. You're Steve Hartman. What would

1003
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 3: you have to notice like every day for you how

1004
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 3: much money would have to be taken out for you

1005
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 3: actually know?

1006
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 2: If you want to look, you want to know the

1007
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 2: life of Steve Hartman.

1008
00:49:58,480 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 3: Oh, Steve Hartman a simple man.

1009
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 2: Every morning, every morning you check your When I wake

1010
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: up in the morning, I check all my bank accounts.

1011
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 3: All the guy's flex he's got more than one.

1012
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 2: Well, I have more than one, but I literally check. Well,

1013
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 2: I mean there's a credit card. You know that. I

1014
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 2: check every account seven days a week. First thing when

1015
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 2: I wake up. When you have an ex wife, you're

1016
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 2: not quite sure what you spend me. So yeah, I

1017
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 2: mean I I in my world that it is not possible.

1018
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 2: In your world, I like that there would be no way,

1019
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 2: you know. And and again, when you have that kind

1020
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 2: of wealth, you're a target, right, Yeah, And so look

1021
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 2: at it. It's not a matter if I want to

1022
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 2: believe him. I'm just going to assume he did gamble

1023
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 2: and that they're going to just figure out a way

1024
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 2: to you know, put this away. Yeah, And and honestly,

1025
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: I don't care. Again, unless there's any direct evidence that

1026
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: he bet on a baseball game and then purposely did

1027
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: something to throw that baseball game, which I know he didn't.

1028
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 2: I assume he didn't, then I really don't care. I mean, really,

1029
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 2: I don't. None of it really matters to me. Yeah,

1030
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 2: but I did. I found it almost laughable. And by

1031
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 2: the way, six years this is his seventh major league season.

1032
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 2: Do you think show he's gonna maybe rid himself of

1033
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 2: the interpreter and speak a little English. I mean you

1034
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 2: don't have to be fluent. I mean, you know, just

1035
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 2: basic English.

1036
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 3: I think he speaks basic English.

1037
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 2: But why does hey do that?

1038
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: There's it's different when you because of cultures, like as

1039
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 3: somebody who speaks Spanish, somebody you when you think of

1040
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 3: literal translations, like when you are learning a new language

1041
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 3: and you translate, sometimes you actually are literally translating, and

1042
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:52,919
Speaker 3: it doesn't always work well.

1043
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 2: For Nanomania, I was there at the very beginning of it,

1044
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: when I first, you know, sort of got involved in

1045
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 2: I in the businessiness, and I covered a lot. In

1046
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 2: his first three years he had an interpreter of the

1047
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: whole time, and then year four he's speaking English. Yeah,

1048
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,479
Speaker 2: I think he was twenty four years old at the time.

1049
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 3: I'm taking it more as a safety blanket, not that

1050
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 3: he can't, it's just with like certain questions. Maybe it's

1051
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,280
Speaker 3: easier because the interpreter really learning a language as an adult.

1052
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 3: You know, again, it doesn't. Literal translation does not always work.

1053
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 2: Vladimir Guerrero, his son now obviously plays majorly, but he

1054
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 2: played sixteen years Hall of Fame player, never spoke a

1055
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 2: word of English, not one. He was with the Angels

1056
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,280
Speaker 2: for a number of years after being with the expos.

1057
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 3: I will tell you see zero Ellie Delacruz. Did you

1058
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 3: see Elie Delacruz spoke in English and he said, I

1059
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 3: need to be able to talk to the fans, and

1060
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 3: the fans need to be able to understand me, just

1061
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 3: like I need to understand them. So I hear what

1062
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 3: you're saying, especially Elie Delacruez just doing this, I hear.

1063
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 3: I think it's just more of a security blanket.

1064
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 2: Really, Okay, well, yeah, and believe me, the investigations are

1065
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 2: still going on. As far as show Eotani, as far

1066
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 2: as the Dodgers that can. They got a big start tonight,

1067
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 2: h Yamamoto after getting slacked in Korea. The Dodgers the

1068
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: last couple of days had just been put doing a

1069
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,479
Speaker 2: number on the Cardinals. Bobby Miller was lights out for them.

1070
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 2: He was great. Glass now has looked pretty good in

1071
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 2: his starts. Obviously that top of the lineup. I mean

1072
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 2: in the Mookie Bets.

1073
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 3: Mookie Bets already think three homersree.

1074
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 2: Home runs already, Showy Citty and Freddie Freeman City and

1075
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 2: then the uh ta Oscardez he uh two homers yesterday. Yeah,

1076
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 2: so the Dodgers are looking good. But this is this

1077
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 2: is a hold your breath that what happened in Korea

1078
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 2: was a complete aberration. That we're going to see the

1079
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 2: Yamamoto that made him the highest paid pitcher in baseball

1080
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 2: before he actually threw a pitch in the major leagues.

1081
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 3: And not just that. Holding my breath because it's game three, Yeah,

1082
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 3: out of one hundred and sixty two. Like, I'm excited

1083
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 3: and I'm happy to see it, but it's this excitement

1084
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 3: can can go away real quickly when it comes to

1085
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 3: the postseason.

1086
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it can. So we'll see how that all plays out.

1087
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 2: All right. Coming up on the other side, we got

1088
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 2: some NBA news we got to get to. Yeah, we're

1089
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 2: coming down the stretch as far as the NBA is concerned,

1090
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 2: and we're going to take a look at some of

1091
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 2: the teams that are finding themselves in a position they

1092
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 2: should never have been. Plus the breakout star of this

1093
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,520

Speaker 2: posted right after we get off the air. By the way,

1103
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 2: this pairing the two of us, which came post football season,

1104
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: it was sort of a combining of a couple of shows.

1105
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 2: We did three straight weeks where we did four four

1106
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 2: hour shows together and then we get two hours this

1107
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 2: time slot. Then we moved later for a week and

1108
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 2: came back. Uh And so the way it works here

1109
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 2: at Fox Sports Radio, we get you know, the rundown

1110
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 2: of all the shows during the week. And you know,

1111
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 2: if it's like a set show, it's an ink, yes,

1112
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 2: And if it's like someone substituting for someone, that's there's

1113
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 2: a different color. This show today is an ink. You

1114
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 2: it's no longer penciled in. We hear this show is

1115
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 2: an ink here on Fox Sports Saturday. And I know

1116
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 2: a lot of people are excited about that, as are we.

1117
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 2: Uh NBA's coming down the stretch here Monsees and you

1118
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 2: know this playing a realm. I still I'm still on

1119
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 2: the fence about the play in It still doesn't make

1120
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 2: a whole lot of sense to me. There are certain

1121
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 2: games that do not show up in the record books.

1122
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 2: So playing games are not listed is playoff games because

1123
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 2: they're not playoff games. They're play in games to get

1124
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. So whatever happens in these games, there's

1125
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 2: no actual record, there's no they're not in the record

1126
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 2: books that are like exhibition games.

1127
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 3: That's weird.

1128
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 2: But when you look at the West right now, the

1129
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 2: West is loaded, and you got three of the four

1130
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 2: teams that are in the play in round are the

1131
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, the Lakers, yeah,

1132
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 2: and the Warriors, and by the way, the Sacramento Kings

1133
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 2: have got talent as well. These are the play in teams.

1134
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 2: So you look at that list and you're saying, two

1135
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 2: of these teams are not going to make the playoffs.

1136
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 3: And also, I know we're coming down to the end

1137
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 3: of it, but let's mention that the Mavericks, the Pelicans

1138
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 3: all even throwing my Clippers in there, it's only a

1139
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 3: three game difference between them and the Phoenix Suns who

1140
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 3: are in the play in Like anything can happen at

1141
00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 3: this point. But I think that what you're saying about

1142
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,919
Speaker 3: the playing is that what maybe you don't like about

1143
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 3: it is maybe the teams that you want to move

1144
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 3: forward might not move forward.

1145
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 2: Right. Well, well, here's what happened the first year. So

1146
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 2: the first year, the seventh seed played the eight seed.

1147
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 2: It was the Lakers and the Warriors.

1148
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 3: Of course you remember that so fast.

1149
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 2: Well I do, because I remember at the time thinking, well,

1150
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,439
Speaker 2: this is your nightmare, because now potentially they could both

1151
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,919
Speaker 2: still get in because the loser of the seven eight

1152
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 2: game plays the winner of the nine ten game. Correct, Well,

1153
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 2: what happened was the Lakers beat the Warriors to get

1154
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 2: in and then the Warriors lose. Yeah, and so under

1155
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 2: the old format, the Warriors as the eighth seed, would

1156
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 2: have been in the playoffs. But because if you're playing tournament,

1157
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 2: you just eliminated the Golden State Warriors. Yes, and this

1158
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 2: can happen when you have one game eliminations.

1159
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is the whole and I get it. But

1160
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 3: it's the reason they did this is to make the

1161
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 3: games at the end more exciting. They didn't want people

1162
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 3: to just give up at the end. Like, if there's

1163
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 3: a chance for you to get in the play in

1164
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 3: you're gonna keep playing until the end. And that's really

1165
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 3: the point of this. But there is that hole, like

1166
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 3: you said, the potential there.

1167
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 2: Now as it stands, now you've got Lakers Warriors nine

1168
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 2: to ten, right, that's it.

1169
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like teams.

1170
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 2: You got Steph Curry and Lebron James, who are still

1171
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 2: the two biggest name stars in this league, and one

1172
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 2: of them is gone after one game.

1173
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 3: If it stays like this, because the King's just lost

1174
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 3: Kevin Herder. Not that he's a huge, but he is.

1175
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 3: He's part of that game, their game. So the Kings

1176
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 3: are are gonna definitely have to maintain this spot because

1177
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 3: you don't want to drop to nine and ten. You don't,

1178
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 3: you really don't.

1179
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 2: Well, here's another point. So this is Lebron's sixth year

1180
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 2: with the Lakers.

1181
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 3: It's a sixth year, sixth year, Oh my goodness.

1182
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 2: In those six years, they've either been out of the

1183
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 2: playoffs completely or in the play in all but one year,

1184
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 2: assuming they're in the play and again this year, which

1185
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 2: seems pretty safe with eight games to go, think about

1186
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 2: that five out of six years, you're either in the

1187
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 2: playing around or missed the playoffs completely. They won exception,

1188
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 2: obviously is the year they won the championship in the bubble, right,

1189
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 2: that is it? Yeah, that's with Lebron James.

1190
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 3: You know it's not good. It's also not good that

1191
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 3: they win without him.

1192
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 2: You notice that?

1193
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, they play a different game that doesn't

1194
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 3: necessarily go through a thirty.

1195
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 2: We'll say it right now, Montsi. They're better off without

1196
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 2: Lebron James.

1197
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 3: They play better without Lebron James.

1198
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 2: Wow, they do.

1199
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 3: I think they're able to play more relaxed at a

1200
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 3: faster pace.

1201
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 2: Well, you realize he has a player option this year.

1202
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 3: He does, But I don't see you.

1203
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 2: Are you edging him out the door? I mean, he's

1204
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 2: given every indication he wants to finish his career as

1205
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 2: a Lakers.

1206
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

1207
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 2: Are you giving him an extension on his contract because

1208
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 2: after this year he would after next year it'd be

1209
00:59:58,200 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 2: a walk away.

1210
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 3: That's how much.

1211
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 2: Money you're gonna give a forty year old Lebron in

1212
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 2: his twenty third year in the league.

1213
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know we've never in the NBA. You

1214
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 3: don't hear it as much as he does in the NFL,

1215
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 3: where players take a pay cut because they want, you know,

1216
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 3: to be surrounded by other elite players like we just

1217
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 3: don't hear about that in the NBA as much. If

1218
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 3: the Lakers extend him, which they probably will, they're doing

1219
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 3: it not because they think they're gonna win with him.

1220
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 3: They're doing it for the grand scheme of things, of

1221
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 3: what he brings, just marketing in general.

1222
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,439
Speaker 2: I just get a sense with Lebron. And look, I'm

1223
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 2: a Lebron fan. He's the goat. I mean, I you

1224
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 2: disrespect to Michael Jordan or Kobe or anybody else. There's

1225
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 2: only one Lebron. He's the greatest player in the history

1226
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 2: of the NBA in my opinion. But after winning that

1227
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 2: one championship with the Lakers, mission accomplished because he did

1228
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 2: something that obviously has never been done before, not only

1229
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 2: winning championships with three different franchises, but being the finals

1230
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,439
Speaker 2: MVP with three different franchises. I said when he came

1231
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 2: to LA, if he doesn't win a championship, it's an

1232
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 2: f But he won. Even if you say it's tainted

1233
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 2: or asterisk or whatever you want to describe what happened

1234
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 2: in that bubble is down in Florida. He want a

1235
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 2: championship as a Laker. It seems like his his intent

1236
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 2: now is to be able to be on the court

1237
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 2: with a son of his.

1238
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 3: Yes, and I think that is literally everybody is waiting

1239
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 3: to know. Are the Lakers going to draft Brownnie?

1240
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 2: Somehow? I don't think they have to draft Bronnie because

1241
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody is interested in drafting a kid

1242
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 2: that averaged four points a game at the US You're right,

1243
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 2: You're right. You can sign him as a free You.

1244
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 3: Can sign him as a free agent, which is.

1245
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 2: If he wants to skip out on his college career, Yeah,

1246
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 2: maybe just to play for dad. Doesn't that sound a

1247
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 2: little selfish to you?

1248
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 3: Of course it does, But you Lebron is selfish. Lebron

1249
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 3: is selfish. Yesterday or what game was it yesterday? He

1250
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 3: didn't play. He left the bench before the game was over.

1251
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 3: He just left because he thinks he's he doesn't have

1252
01:01:58,680 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 3: to wait for the rest.

1253
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 2: Of the team. She about him is his appreciation for

1254
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 2: a little red wine. I do like that. That's something

1255
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 2: I really appreciate. By the way, we've got to talk

1256
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 2: about Wemby on the other side, this kid is probably

1257
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 2: better than advertised. But first let's find out what is

1258
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 2: trending right now. And wow, I'm looking up at this

1259
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 2: women's game here between USC and Baylor. Suddenly getting pretty

1260
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 2: interesting here. We've we've had two good ones so far

1261
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 2: to the LSU and UCLA was a.

1262
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 7: Good and we'll get to that in a second, But

1263
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 7: right now USC and Baylor in a tight one, fifty

1264
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 7: nine to fifty eight.

1265
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 2: USC with the lead and just turn the ball over.

1266
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 7: But it's five minutes left in third, five minutes and

1267
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 7: thirty seven seconds left in the fourth quarter as Baylor

1268
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 7: misses an airballs with three, but that's a layup for now.

1269
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 7: Baylor takes the lead. It's been back and forth so

1270
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 7: far in that matchup. But earlier today we saw I

1271
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 7: would be Colorado eighty nine to sixty eight. That's about

1272
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 7: the only one that hasn't been close so far on

1273
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 7: the women's side of things. Caitlin Clark ends up at vance.

1274
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 7: They'll play LSU. That's I said earlier. They beat UCLA.

1275
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 7: That one was close to about three minutes left in

1276
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 7: LSU went on a fourteen to two run flows A

1277
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 7: Johnson with a couple of big buckets down the stretch.

1278
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 3: And defense and just the whole thing.

1279
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 7: It was a lot going on. Especially even if you've

1280
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 7: read the Washington Post today, Kim Welkee over sold it

1281
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 7: a bit. I'd say, don't worry. She's got a new

1282
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 7: beef with the LA time. So Kim Welkee versus the

1283
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 7: press continues on. Like I said, Baylor us see that

1284
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 7: game without five minutes left Baylor with a one point lead.

1285
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 2: So but we will see LSU and Iowa in the

1286
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 2: Elit eight.

1287
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 7: Right now, on the men's side of the Elite eight,

1288
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 7: we have Yukon and Illinois. Yukon right now winning thirty

1289
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 7: eight I'm sorry, thirty five to that's right, thirty five

1290
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 7: to twenty three. As Illinois attempts at three, that rims out.

1291
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 7: But yeah, so U kind of course. The number one

1292
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 7: of the number one overall seeds left in the tournament.

1293
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 7: New Orleans and Boston played earlier today in the NBA.

1294
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 7: Boston won one oh four two ninety two. That's on

1295
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 7: the road. The Magic and the Grizzlies playing right now

1296
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 7: another game, not very close. Magic twenty four, Grizzlies nine

1297
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 7: three point thirty left in the first quarter there. Earlier

1298
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 7: today in baseball results, the Brewers beat the Mets seven

1299
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 7: to six, Tigers beat the White Sox seven and six

1300
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 7: and extra innings, Guardians beat the Athletics twelve to three,

1301
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 7: Nationals over the Red seven to six, Blue Jays fall

1302
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 7: to the Rays, Tampa wins five to one, and the

1303
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 7: Royals and the Twins Minnesota five to one.

01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 2: Win there, So Scott Sapiro is.

1305
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 5: Happy about that.

1306
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 7: Pirates and the Marlins and Pirates beat them nine to three.

1307
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 7: And we had the UFL, not the XFL or the USFL.

1308
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 7: The UFL had its first game ever, Steve today. Yeah,

1309
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 7: Darlington Renegades beat the Birmingham Stallions.

Speaker 7: The Birmingham Stallions beat the Arlington Renegades twenty seven to fourteen.

1312
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 7: And the Saint Louis BattleHawks lost to the Michigan Panthers

1313
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,919
Speaker 7: on a sixty four yard walk off field goal.

1314
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 2: So how about that sixty four four.

1315
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, sixty four yard walk off field goal from the

1316
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:55,959
Speaker 7: Michigan Panther kicker.

01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 2: All right, Well that's the guy that's gonna get a

1318
01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 2: job in the NFL. That's how that's how you yourself

1319
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 2: in the NFL. I mean, we got that rotation of

1320
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 2: kickers all over the place. Every team is looking for

1321
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 2: some guy that can hit big field goals. Well, you

1322
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,040

01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,680

01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 2: So that's back up to you. Thank you, Martin, I

01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 2: appreciate that.

1329
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 5: Once again.

1330
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 2: We are live from the ti iraq dot com studio.

1331
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 2: So we're watching USC women a one seed. They were

1332
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 2: winning this game comfortably against the five seed Baylor, but

1333
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 2: right now Baylor leading by two four minutes to go

1334
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter of that game. The women play quarters,

1335
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 2: the men play halves.

1336
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 3: Tell me why, tell me why?

1337
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 2: Well, there's only think about this. Where else do you

1338
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,919
Speaker 2: only have two halves? In high school they always play

1339
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 2: quarters men's and women's girls and boys. But in men's

1340
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 2: college basketball you play half. Yeah?

1341
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 3: Why Also? I don't like it, Like, I don't think

1342
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 3: I would like to play house. I like the quarters.

1343
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm just used to it, right, I just I

1344
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 3: would be like no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't like this well, I.

1345
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 2: Mean the thing about playing halves in terms of there's

1346
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 2: no break. In other words, there's a more of a

1347
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 2: flow to the half, sure, right, if you keep breaking

1348
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 2: it up. I mean that's one thing is I like

1349
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 2: about hockey is you have three periods and they're self contained,

1350
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 2: so to speak.

1351
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's also twenty minutes in between each period.

1352
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 2: You want to hear. One of the craziest stats. I

1353
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 2: was watching did you see this documentary on Cannis Parker.

1354
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 2: I've always been a big Cannas Parker fan. I don't

1355
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 2: know why she doesn't get more recognition as one of

1356
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 2: the great female basketball players of all time. But they

1357
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 2: were talking about the fact that, you know, when a

1358
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 2: lot of these famous collegiate players and the women's ranks

1359
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 2: go to the WNBA, they seem to sort of disappear.

1360
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 2: I Diana Trossi's been around forever, su. I mean, there's

1361
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 2: certain names you obviously know. One of them was Lisa Leslie.

1362
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 2: I interviewed Lisa Leslie on a couple of occasions. She

1363
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 2: had a high school game. I'm still trying to do

1364
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 2: the math on this one. She had a high school

1365
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 2: game where in the first half of the game, she

1366
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 2: scored one hundred and one points. I'm sorry, what one

1367
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 2: hundred and one points? And each quarter is only eight minutes,

1368
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 2: so that's sixteen minutes. She scored one hundred and one points.

1369
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 2: That's more than six points a minute. Now, try to

1370
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 2: do the math. By the way, the team they played

1371
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 2: refused to show up for the second half of the game,

1372
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 2: so she scored one hundred and one points in sixteen minutes.

1373
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 2: That's six points a minute. And I love to see that.

1374
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 2: There's no video of this game. How would was she

1375
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 2: just stealing the inbound pass and just laying it.

1376
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 3: In like nobody was stopping her because they were like

1377
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 3: she's good, I'm gonna just let her go.

1378
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, one hundred and one points and a

1379
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 2: half sixteen minutes.

1380
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 3: That like, if you said that to me, it would

1381
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 3: be like, that's not true, that's false.

1382
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 2: I remember when this story came out, I'm like, that's

1383
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 2: not possible.

1384
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 3: Did you ask her about it when you interviewed her.

1385
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean she just said, obviously, it was an

1386
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,719
Speaker 2: overmatched team that refused to show up for the second half,

1387
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 2: and so that's how she ended up with one hundred

1388
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 2: and one points. That was but that was in the

1389
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 2: first half, in sixteen minutes, two eight minute quarters.

1390
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,600
Speaker 3: I still don't kind of believe it. I still like,

1391
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm just like, there's no point.

1392
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about Wilt Chamblin scored one hundred

1393
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 2: points in a forty game, and again that's forty eight minutes.

1394
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 2: She did that in sixteen minutes. Huh yeah, wow, Yeah,

1395
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 2: that's pretty impressive. I don't think that's it. Yeah, she's

1396
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 2: obviously one of the all time grades. Speaking of Wemby,

1397
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 2: looks like he is going to be there one. But

1398
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 2: Yama came in, obviously with a lot of hype. And

1399
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 2: by the way, the Spurs still with the worst record

1400
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference, but barely. They've actually won three

1401
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 2: games in a row.

1402
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 3: He's so excited.

1403
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 2: So he had a forty twenty yesterday in a victory

1404
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 2: over the Knicks. Jalen Brunson put up forty seven shots.

1405
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 2: Of the Knicks, he had sixty one points. Not good enough.

1406
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 2: But when you look at how Wembin Yama, surrounded by

1407
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 2: anonymous players, continues to improve, see is this is something

1408
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 2: that you talk about character and commitment to self improvement

1409
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: is such a big part of every great player in

1410
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 2: every great sport. It's not by accident, Tom Brady, Magic Johnson, whoever.

1411
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,719
Speaker 2: I mean. I saw first time with Kobe, always working

1412
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 2: to get better. And so despite the fact that wem

1413
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 2: Ben Yama has been faced with all these losses in

1414
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 2: his rookie season, it hasn't held him back from getting better.

1415
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 2: And if he is this good right now on this

1416
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 2: team at age tw twenty, he just turned twenty a

1417
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 2: couple months ago, baby, his future is scary, scary good,

1418
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 2: and that is really good news for the NBA.

1419
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 3: I've watched sporadically throughout the season a couple of Spurs games.

1420
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 3: Every time I've watched a game, he has looked better

1421
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 3: every single time. I'm I'm not gonna lie to you.

1422
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 3: I did not expect him to be this good by

1423
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 3: the end of the season. I didn't expect this jump.

1424
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 3: And it's like he's understanding the game the NBA versus

1425
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:35,759
Speaker 3: you know, playing overseas, the physicality of it is different.

1426
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 3: He really has come together quite nicely. And I feel

1427
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 3: like we got to give a little bit of credit

1428
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 3: to old man Greg Popovich. He clearly still knows what

1429
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 3: he's talking about and he has developed this guy along

1430
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,799
Speaker 3: with everybody else in the Spurs organization to a player,

1431
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 3: I was I was not expecting to see him like

1432
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 3: this already. To be honest with you, I really thought

1433
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 3: Chud Holmgren was gonna run away with the Rookie of

1434
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 3: the year.

1435
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. He was my preseason pick. You know, technically he's

1436
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 2: a rookie because he didn't play his rookie season, same

1437
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 2: thing that happened with Blake Griffin. Griffin, So yeah, and

1438
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 2: early in the year they had a couple of matchups

1439
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 2: and I said, yeah, I mean, right now, chet holmgrims

1440
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 2: a little bit ahead of wimb and Yama, but he's

1441
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 2: put him in the dust.

1442
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,839
Speaker 3: In the dust, it's scary.

1443
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 2: USC has taken a two point lead. This is the

1444
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 2: women's Sweet sixteen matchup number one seed USC against the

1445
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 2: five seed Baylor sixty nine sixty seven. So this game

1446
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 2: is going down to the wire right now. We were

1447
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 2: talking earlier. Now that it's set LSU and Iowa. Oh yeah, on.

1448
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 3: Monday, I'm nervous and I don't I don't care who,

1449
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 3: and I'm nervous he'll be watched. Oh I'm gonna be watching.

1450
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.

1451
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:49,600
Speaker 3: But I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I think it's going to

1452
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 3: be very intense and very emotional because it's the rematch

1453
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 3: of last year. And just remember all the drama with

1454
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 3: the hand of the face between no.

1455
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:01,759
Speaker 2: Well, they said, hey, she does it, speaking of Caitlin Clark.

1456
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 2: We're just going to do it right back to her.

1457
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 2: There's a lot, I guess the again. One thing about it,

1458
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 2: it's like a fighter that's been knocked out by another fighter.

1459
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 2: It's it's hard to get past that. Yeah, now, it's

1460
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 2: not impossible. We've seen reversals of fortune where guy knocks

1461
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 2: out one guy. The next thing, you know, the next

1462
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 2: fight the guy the other guy knocks him out. But

1463
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 2: most often it doesn't happen that way. It wasn't just

1464
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 2: a loss. I mean it was humiliating. Iowa just got

1465
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 2: absolutely annihilated from the opening tip off of that championship

1466
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 2: game last year. And I'm sure LSU they're playing the

1467
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 2: pretty good psychological game these days, starting with her coach

1468
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 2: and the trickles down to the place. I love this

1469
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 2: idea that you know, she's really tough on the players.

1470
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 2: When you look at it, her team is really a

1471
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:55,799
Speaker 2: reflection of her. Yeah, that attitude us against the world,

1472
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 2: me against the world is exactly what we see from

1473
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 2: this you women's basketball team.

1474
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't matter that she is not this sweet,

1475
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 3: you know, fluffy loving, not that she's not loving, but

1476
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 3: it works because they're winning.

1477
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 2: I got an update for you. You're ready for this?

1478
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 3: Tell me? Tell me what.

1479
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 2: Yukon was leading Illinois twenty eight to twenty three at

1480
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 2: half time. Yukon has outscored them twenty three to nothing

1481
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 2: in the second half.

1482
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:23,839
Speaker 3: What have we talked about on the show today? Twenty

1483
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 3: three to nothing has dominated this entire sament.

1484
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 2: This twenty three to nothing in the second half Yukon.

1485
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:35,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not good.

1486
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,679
Speaker 2: They just stole the impound pass. So it was twenty

1487
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 2: eight twenty three Yukon at halftime. It is now fifty three,

1488
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 2: twenty three, twenty five to nothing in the second half.

1489
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 3: That's got to be deflating. That's got that.

1490
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you're figuring at halftime, Illinois feeling good. Hey,

1491
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:58,599
Speaker 2: we're hanging in with the number one team, Yukon. Twenty

1492
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 2: five to Yukon. In the second half. There is Yukon

1493
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 2: and there is everybody else. Yeah, I mean they look

1494
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, even Brian Dutcher, San Diego

1495
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 2: State coach before their game with Yukon, called it the

1496
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 2: Yukon Invitational and then his team lost by thirty. So

1497
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 2: Yukon has outscored Illinois twenty five to nothing in the

1498
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 2: second half and Illinois just missed again. Wow.

1499
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was not a good shot though.

1500
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,719
Speaker 2: All right, So which teams? Which teams ultimately will join

1501
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 2: Yukon in the Final four. Because we're safely marking Yukon

1502
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 2: as a Final four team, we'll have our predictions on

1503
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 2: the other side. This is Fox Sports Saturday, Steve Harvin,

1575

Speaker 2: Clemson the sixth seed. Two surprise teams making it into

1582
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 2: the Western Regional Final. Alabama is a slight favorite in

1583
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 2: this game. Which team are you choosing?

1584
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Clemson. Wow, I'm gonna take Clemson. I'm

1585
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 3: gonna stick to kind of what I went with the bracket.

1586
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 3: I had Alabama exiting a little like already. I did

1587
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 3: not expect them to be here. So I'm gonna stick

1588
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 3: with my bracket. I'm gonna take Clemson.

1589
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 2: I was gonna I thought you'd go with Alabama. I

1590
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 2: like Clemson as well, I really do. I like what

1591
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 2: I saw against Arizona. It's a good Arizona team. Clemson

1592
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 2: plays really really good defense, so I like Clemson as well. Tomorrow,

1593
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,839
Speaker 2: the one seed Purdue the two seed Tennessee produce favored.

1594
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 2: I think we're already committed on this game, or are

1595
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 2: you changing your mind?

1596
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 3: No, I've picked Tennessee on my bracket. I'm gonna stick

1597
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:51,839
Speaker 3: with Tennisee.

1598
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:52,759
Speaker 2: I need Tennessee.

1599
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 3: I need Tennessee, Batty, Yeah, I got Tennessee. I mean,

1600
01:18:56,600 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 3: Purdue is playing really well, and they the days that

1601
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 3: I watched them, and they don't go through Zach Edy.

1602
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 3: I'm just like, why aren't you going through Zach Edy?

1603
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:08,639
Speaker 3: Like that's go through him and he's playing really well.

1604
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna take Tennessee.

1605
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta stay with Tennessee. Here. Perdue, by the way,

1606
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:17,960
Speaker 2: has not been in the final for I remember Clemson

1607
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 2: last time they were in the Elite eight nineteen eighty.

1608
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:22,719
Speaker 2: Last time Purdue was in the Final four nineteen eighty,

1609
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 2: Great nine, or they were also beaten by UCLA. There

1610
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 2: might be some symmetry there. I'm moving for Tennessee. And

1611
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 2: then there's that eleven seed NC State going against Duke

1612
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 2: and acc battle for a spot in the final four.

1613
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 2: I will say this, I am rooting my ass off

1614
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 2: for NC State. Yeah, I mean I would love to

1615
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 2: see NC State takeout.

1616
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 3: Duke, right, right, I did not have Duke getting this far,

1617
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 3: So why not NC State? I mean, you're already killing it.

1618
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 3: You might a You're on a high. They're on a high.

1619
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just when do you get hot?

1620
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? I need a Duke doing yesterday. I don't need

1621
01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 2: to to win this game. Yeah, I'm rooting hard for

1622
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 2: NC State. I think again, there's just something about this

1623
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 2: NC State team, right, I mean they won five games

1624
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 2: in five days, they won the ACC Tournament, and they

1625
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 2: could just continue to find ways to win. I mean,

1626
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 2: you don't expect to win. This was like UCLA a

1627
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 2: couple of years ago when when they went from the

1628
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 2: first four to the final four and only got eliminated

1629
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,719
Speaker 2: by that undefeated AGAINSTZAGGA team out a half court shot. Yeah,

1630
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 2: there was no rhyme or reason like why is this

1631
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 2: team still winning? And I look at NC State as

1632
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 2: sort of that type of team.

1633
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 3: And the game against Marquette that was a good win.

1634
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 3: They out rebounded them, they held them to four of

1635
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,479
Speaker 3: thirty one shooting from the three point line like they

1636
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 3: executed the game plan.

1637
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,759
Speaker 2: All right, we're done with our time. That went quickly. Yes,

1638
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna hand it off to Martin and VJ. Keep

1639
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,799
