Over one hundred and forty international 16 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: players from forty countries on NBA rosters. They've really grown 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 2: this game. And of course said two am the dance 18 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: Sensation sweep of the nation. What kind of brand new 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: fool are you? Followed by what my name? As they 20 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 2: say in Taylor Swift, Minnesota. It's gonna be lit. But 21 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: how please tell me, how has the Fall Classic fallen 22 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: so far within the eyes and the consciousness of America 23 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: that it's barely mentioned. You know, the late great Bill Veck, 24 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: one of my favorite people, once said, the most beautiful 25 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: thing in the world is a ballpark filled with people. 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: If you're not partaking in the World Series, frankly, you're 27 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 2: missing out. You know, if you go way back into 28 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 2: the cookie jar. You may have heard of the Murderers, 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: Row Gas House Gang. We are family, the rally Monkey. 30 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: Now we've got the answer. Backs do not go to 31 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: sleep on this team. They were eighteen and thirty four 32 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: in a mid gametch of fifty games, sixteen and thirty four, 33 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: excuse me, in the middle of the season, and yet 34 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: they're in the World Series. They run differential was minus fifteen, 35 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: and yet they're in the World Series, and largely they're 36 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: led by a rookie. And yet they're in the World Series. 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: And tonight another storyline, Merrill Kelly to their rescue. It 38 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: took the Diamondbacks took an absolute gut punch from the 39 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: Texas Rangers. They had the game in hand, their bullpen 40 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: was doing their thing, and Corey Seeger did what he did. 41 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: And you know what happened in game one, which prompted 42 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: Rob Parker and Brian Kenny. Well, it was Rob said, 43 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: they're done. Not so fast, my friend. It was all snakes. 44 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: In game two, the answer Backs were the team on 45 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: Globe Life Field, Corbyn Carroll, Tommy fam Lord of Scurriel, 46 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 2: Junior Alec Thomas. They all had multi hit games. The 47 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: answer Backs pound out sixteen hits Arizona nine to one 48 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: with the victory, and we have a series tatt at 49 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: one one as we head to Arizona. The real star 50 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: of the show clearly Merrill Kelly. This is an unheralded 51 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 2: right hander most people hadn't heard from, but he's had 52 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: one hell of a postseason run. Maybe he's this generation's bulldog. 53 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 2: Look it up log seven one run innings. And that's 54 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: not so easy to do to shut down that Rangers 55 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 2: high powered offense where there are two players, Rob say, 56 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: used to just walk, don't even pitch to them. So 57 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: if a cat has a thousand lives or nine lives, 58 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: how many lives does this snake have? See when the 59 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: diamond Backs lost six to five Monday or Saturday night, 60 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: Friday night. Excuse me. It was about as difficult of 61 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: an outcome to have to get up and face Sunday 62 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: because you know they have these what these analytics, which 63 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: are nothing more than stats. I wish Earl Weaver were 64 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: alive to talk about analytics. But as they headed into 65 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: the ninth inning, they had an eighty one percent chance 66 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: after Paul Sewell recorded the first out of the ninth inning. 67 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: But then, you know, walks will kill you. Ranch Ricky said, 68 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: you walk a guy to lead off an inning sixty 69 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: percent of the time he scores. Well, you walk a 70 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: guy with Corey Seeger on deck, and you're asking for 71 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: it till Corey Seeger hits a dinner and you know 72 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: what happened from there. It was an ugly, tough win 73 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: or lost for the snakes right by the way, not 74 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: for nothing, give Texas credit. Arizona didn't exactly, you know, 75 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: light it up. Their hitter struck out fourteen times, they 76 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: issued ten walks. This is what you don't want to 77 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: have happened. So at no point heading into game two 78 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: did a lot of the media pundits believe that Arizona 79 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: could rebound. So in effect, this win on Saturday night. 80 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: Was not only a win for the Diamondbacks, it was 81 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: a dominant win. They reclaim home field advantage. They ensure 82 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 2: there will be at least three games in the friendly 83 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: confines of Chase Feld. Give it up Merril Kelly pitching 84 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: his ninety percent of baseball, or Weaver once said, or 85 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: check that, Bob Limmer one said the most the two 86 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: most important things of life close friends in a good bullpen. 87 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: But Arizona needed to rest their bullpen Saturday night. You 88 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 2: can't overstate how badly Arizona needed Kelly to go deep 89 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: into the game. Zach Allen couldn't do it Friday. He 90 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: did last five innings, but it was a long one 91 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: for the bullpen. Who had you know, five to third 92 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: innings I think on Friday night. So the pen needed 93 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: a rest entered Johnny on the spot. Meryl Kelly, the 94 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: first pitcher to log at least seven one run innings 95 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 2: in a World Series game since Garrett Cole four years ago, 96 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: made it look easy. He kept getting his first strikeover. 97 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: He was striking guys out by the way. Give it 98 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: up to Jordan Montgomery too. He matched twits for a 99 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: while for the first two thirds of Game two, and 100 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: then the wheels fell off and the Rangers and the 101 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: seventh inning, and there you have it. This is why 102 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: they're the answer backs. This is why Arizona is such 103 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: an interesting story to me this year. And guys, I 104 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: can tell Marte They're gonna end up being household names. 105 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: He keeps racking up playoff hits. These are multi hit heroes. 106 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: Marte wasn't much of a standout. He only had one hit, 107 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: but that's only needed to make history because now he's 108 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: got an eighteen game hitting streak in the playoffs. That's 109 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: now the officially the longest of all time. By the way, 110 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: Marte joins some pretty good company like Derek Jeter Man, Ramirez, 111 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: Hank Power. These are Hall of famers. Marty's had twenty 112 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: one hits in the playoffs, the most of any player. 113 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 2: Most of them have been huge as well. And remember 114 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 2: could tell Marte was the MVP in the National League 115 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: Championship series. Yeah he's thirty years old. Yeah he's an 116 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: All Star yas he's been an MVP vote getter in 117 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: previous years. But what he's doing now is having a 118 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: coming out party as his UCLA's old owned tory Lavulo, 119 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: who struggled with the Tigers. I remember when he was there. 120 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: I covered those teams. Couldn't happen to a better guy. 121 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 2: By the way, meet Gabriel Moreno. On the topic of 122 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: coming out parties. How about Gabriel Moreno. Well, Morano hits 123 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: a solo homer off Montgomery at the top of the 124 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 2: fourth that lit the fuse for the Diamondbacks. You never 125 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: know how it can flip. Now, it's not that Moreno 126 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 2: couldn't hit. He just never heard of him. He had 127 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: a career average of three eleven in the minors at 128 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: two eighty four this season, just one point below Corbyn Carroll, 129 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: who's the rookie I was talking about. But this is 130 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: another guy making a name for himself. Four I believe 131 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: it's just fourth home run in fourteen playoff games. So 132 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: this is a guy. And by the way that I 133 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: mentioned he happens to be a catcher and one of 134 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 2: the brightest catchers in the game, one of the most 135 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: better throwers. You don't steal on him much. He can hit, 136 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: he blocks the ball, he calls a great game. The 137 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: pitcher's lover love him. By the way, Mitch Garver continues 138 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: to be an unsung hero for the Rangers. These names 139 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: just roll off the tongue. Are the household names to you. 140 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: If you're not watching the World Series, frankly, you're missing out. 141 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: Garber hits another danger a third mo mode of the playoffs, 142 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: but it was also his thirteenth run batted in the 143 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: only look. I would just say this, when you look 144 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: at the at the at the teams, the Rangers and 145 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks. Nobody wanted these two teams in here. And 146 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: there's talk about the fact that maybe it's the layoff. 147 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 2: I'm not buying it. I've given the report before. Baseball 148 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: is different. You go back one hundred years, seventy nine 149 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 2: percent of the time, the team that wins the most 150 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: games doesn't get to the World Series, not just because 151 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 2: of the recent playoff format. And ask yourself, if you've 152 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 2: had an outstanding season, if you wont one hundred and 153 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: four games, and you gotta buy, or you can elect 154 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: to say, tell you what, give us our choice. We 155 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: can have a buy, or we can jump back into 156 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: a wild card round forty eight hours later. Which do 157 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: you think these teams would would vote for? So let's 158 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: not be so quick to rush because a lot of 159 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 2: these teams, even when they got beat in the playoffs, 160 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: including the Braves. I believe they scored eight runs or 161 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 2: second game they just got beat, they gave up eleven. 162 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: But I digress. Get to know these names, get to 163 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: watch this stories. It will pick up again Tuesday night. 164 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 2: Turns out Adolas Garcia is not Babe Ruth. After all, 165 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: Arizona was able to keep him in check tonight. He 166 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: didn't get any hits last night, struck out. That's all 167 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 2: he had to show for. I think he had a 168 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 2: walk and four trips to the plate. So there you 169 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: have it. I don't know if they'll ever be named 170 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: alongside Murderer's Row, the Gas House Gang We are Family, 171 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 2: or the Rally Monkeys. But the answer Backs they're making 172 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: the most of their opportunity. And if you looked at 173 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: where they were at mid June, I gotta tell you 174 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: it didn't look promising, you know. F Scott Fitzgerald once 175 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: said there are no second acts in America. Don't tell 176 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: that to the Arizona Diamondbacks. We'll see you Tuesday at 177 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: Chase Field.

No BIS. 197 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 2: This week, you've actually got eight contests where one team 198 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: is either laying less than a field goal or more 199 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: than a touchdown, which very much segues perfectly and to 200 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: the man, you know him, you love me, can't leave 201 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 2: without them. Get your pens and pencils ready. It's time 202 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 2: to drink from the Physic five. 203 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: The time it's the physic five. These are the five 204 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: things you need to hear about. 205 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 3: No with the only back to back Hilton Super Contest 206 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 3: winner Steve Fessick. 207 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: Here's Bernie Freddo. 208 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: That's the significance of the statement I just teased means 209 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: that it opens the door for the long teaser, which, 210 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: if practiced properly and judiciously, can still be somewhat profitable. 211 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: So let's start there. Refresh the folks on the rules 212 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 2: of a long teaser, what to do and what not 213 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 2: to do. 214 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 4: Okay, and if you are driving as you're listening and 215 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 4: take out a tablet in a pen and try to 216 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 4: multitask as best to get no no pull over, pull 217 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 4: over to the side of the road. This is very 218 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 4: important because if you don't follow the rules, you will 219 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 4: not win. And this is we're not content providers. I'm 220 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: not a content provider. I'm not there to like entertain 221 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 4: everybody with just movie references. I'll try to do a 222 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 4: little of that, but I'm bottom line, I'm teaching you 223 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 4: how to win. And read Stanford Wong's book WNG. Wong 224 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 4: Sharp Sports Betting. He explains how to win playing teasers, 225 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 4: and you have to tease, and you only play NFL teasers. 226 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 4: You only play if you have a book that lets 227 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 4: you play six point teasers at minus one twenty odds. 228 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: And let's play that out. That's sports book. You love 229 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: the sportsbook or your app And one twenty means you 230 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: bet one hundred and twenty to win one hundred. You 231 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 2: don't want to pay any more. Juice and neck, go ahead, 232 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: fiz yees. 233 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 4: So places you can play that at include DraftKings, Bookmaker 234 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: bet Us. So those are three books and far away 235 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 4: places that you can play it at, including well, DraftKings 236 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 4: isn't that far away, but it's not in Nevada, so 237 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 4: you have to drive the Arizona from here. Curiously, in Nevada, Bernie, 238 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 4: you cannot get a six point teaser in Las Vegas anymore, 239 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 4: not even those odds. So the books just are overcharging you. 240 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 4: So you have to pass if you are betting in Vegas. 241 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 4: But in these other places you're cool. So those are 242 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 4: the rules. 243 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 5: Those are the cool rules we're going. 244 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 4: To follow, and then we're going to proceed and we're 245 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 4: going to tease through selectively through the corridor three through seven. 246 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 4: And frankly, any plus two underdog is an immediate candidate 247 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 4: to tease up to plus eight. Now, when I say 248 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 4: plus two, it can be plus one a half, plus two, 249 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 4: or plus two. 250 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 5: And a half. 251 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 4: So there's two examples right now. The Indianapolis Cults are 252 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 4: plus two and you can tease them up to plus eight, 253 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 4: and the Pittsburgh Steelers are plus two. You can tease 254 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 4: them up to plus eight. So those are both excellent 255 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 4: teaser legs that go ahead and utilize in the portfolio 256 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 4: of teasers that you can build this week. 257 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: And of course, Mike Tomlin is fourteen and five as 258 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: a home underdog seventy three percent. I'm not so sure 259 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: that that the Steelers is a straight up play. Might 260 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 2: not be a good play, but fezis also look at 261 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 2: the other side. You've got the Dolphins minus nine against 262 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: the Patriots, the Lions minus eight eight and a half 263 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: depending on where you shop against the Raiders on Monday night, 264 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: which you consider. And let me not forget the Chargers 265 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: leg nine against the Bears Sunday night. Would you consider 266 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: teasing any of those down below a field goal? 267 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 4: Yes, you're so good, Bernie. You have my three that 268 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 4: we are going to play that now we need when 269 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 4: we tease a big favorite down through that quarter three 270 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 4: through seven, some minus eight down to minus two, Mice 271 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 4: eight and a half down to two and a half. 272 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 4: Now Miami, there are some nines, but there are some 273 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 4: eight and a halves out there, so they would certainly qualify. 274 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 4: They have to be home teams. Road teams lose more 275 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 4: outright when they go on the road than home teams do, 276 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 4: so they're inherently more dangerous. A team like Baltimore looks 277 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 4: like they qualify, but they don't. So I would be 278 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 4: cautious teasing Baltimore, not that they'd rule it out completely, 279 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 4: and I'd be cautious teasing Kansas City, but absolutely Miami 280 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 4: mius eight and a half, the Chargers minus eight and 281 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 4: a half, and Detroit mius eight. We tease all three 282 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 4: of them down to Mius two and a half and 283 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: minus two. And what we do is we do so 284 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 4: those are five candidates, and it's perfectly fine to do this. 285 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 4: You can vet them in a wheel. What do I 286 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 4: mean by a wheel? You play all five teams and 287 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 4: you mix and match them into every single possible two 288 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 4: team combination of teasers. Warning, burning math coming. Are you ready? 289 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 2: I'm ready. 290 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 4: The number of iterations will be five factorial. That's an 291 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 4: exclamation point. M I remember that from tenth grade math 292 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 4: factorial divided by the times three factorial. I'm going to 293 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 4: do it for you. So you've got ten different combinations, 294 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 4: and the combinations if you have teams one, two, three, 295 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 4: four five, it would be you'd play one two, one 296 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 4: three four five, then two three, two, four two five, 297 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 4: and you wind up with ten combinations of two teamers. 298 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 4: I know we're drinking through. 299 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: A fire hose, but that is why you're here. 300 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 4: Absolutely, way to go. 301 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: Yes, this is our time, mister hand. This is our 302 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 2: t You mentioned the tenth grade the three toughest years 303 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: of my life, and I did struggle with math, fez. 304 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: I mean the teacher tried to tell me pile our 305 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: square and I said, no, it's not pire around. But 306 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: let's go back to the your math equation. This is 307 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: important for people to learn. There's a reason why if 308 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: you tease through the key numbers of three four, six, 309 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 2: and seven going up or down. You allow the math 310 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 2: to work for you give them the incredible amount of 311 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: data a mass by sports books using math models and 312 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: power ratings over decades. Explain to the folks how that 313 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: math works before we start to dive into some individual games. 314 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 4: Well, on the actual teasers. So each one of the 315 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 4: teaser legs, when you're laying mins one twenty, I know 316 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 4: this sounds ridiculous, but it's the way the math works, Bernie. 317 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 4: On each leg that you're you're essentially betting minus two eighty. 318 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 4: So when you bet Pittsburgh plus two and a two 319 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 4: team teaser, you say, well, I'm laying minus one twenty, 320 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 4: and I'm like bad news. You're actually laying minus too eighty. 321 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 4: So if you start out with two hundred, your risks 322 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 4: two hundred eighty dollars and you put it on a 323 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 4: two team teezer with Pittsburgh and Miami. If Pittsburgh covers, 324 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 4: it's like winning one hundred and then you're taking that 325 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 4: three hundred eighty and you're investing in the second leg 326 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 4: with Miami minus one twenty. That's just the way that 327 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 4: it works. But it actually the game lands in that corridor. 328 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 4: Capturing those number three, four sixty seven. It's actually profitable 329 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 4: to lay minus to eighty per each teaser. Leg I 330 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 4: know lots of math, but if you want to learn 331 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 4: more about that and get all the nuts and bolts, 332 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 4: like I said, get Stanford Long's book Sharp Sports Betting 333 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 4: dot Com. 334 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: All right, let's get away from teasers for just a minute. 335 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: Let's start to dive into some of these games. If 336 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, Indianapolis opened up as a short favorite 337 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: against New Orleans. He's been bet through zero. The Saints 338 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: are now minus too. Interesting stats revolving New Orleans. They've 339 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 2: out yarded their opponents in most of their games, but 340 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 2: in the red zone they rank twenty eighth. Is this 341 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 2: a spot where you hold your nose in New Orleans 342 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: gets right at Indianapolis Sunday? 343 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 4: Yes, and it's a very popular contest play. I'm sure 344 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 4: in like circum Millions and the West Gate, it will 345 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 4: be a very popular contest. And oh, by the way, 346 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 4: the deadline for putting in your pixes in thirty four minutes, Bernie, 347 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 4: so hurry up and get to the West Gate. But 348 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 4: what's going on here? Why is all this money coming 349 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 4: on the Saints. Well, the Colts are really really banged 350 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 4: up in the secondary and basically they just lost another guy. 351 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 4: So if there was a guy to bet on in 352 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 4: Fantasy tomorrow, it would be a lava for the Saints 353 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 4: to have a really big game more than likely. And 354 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 4: that's why they're betting on the Saints. It's because of 355 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 4: the cluster injury in the cult secondary. 356 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 2: Another team that's a short road favorite the Jacksonville Jaguars 357 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: laying two at Pittsburgh. Now, Mike Tomlin lifetime is for 358 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 2: teen and five against the number when he's a home 359 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 2: uner dog. Meanwhile, Jacksonville allowed four hundred and seven yards 360 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: of offense last week against him and the Steelers. They've 361 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 2: lived and died off the turn over, their plus five 362 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 2: in their turnover margin. I could only look to the 363 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 2: Steelers in this play, but it's a pass your thoughts. 364 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, So other than contests, and this is a really 365 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 4: important point I want to make, and I'm pulling back 366 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 4: the curtain. I'm telling you how pros make a living 367 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 4: betting and people. I'm sure there's listeners that are skeptical 368 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 4: and they're like, yeah, no one really wins. It's like 369 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 4: anyone that thinks that that's not the case. Come to 370 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 4: Vegas and I will bet you dinner. I can get 371 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 4: kicked out of a sportsbook within twenty minutes. What do 372 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 4: I mean by kicked out? They'll look at you and say, well, 373 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 4: we can't take these bets anymore. We'll take a couple 374 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 4: of them, but we're not taking any more Steve all right. 375 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 4: So anyone who's skeptical, who doesn't believe it's just like blackjack, 376 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 4: it's getting tossed out as a card counter. Where I'm 377 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 4: going here is I haven't bet a plus two or 378 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 4: a minus eight in the NFL in like ten years. 379 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 4: I'll use them in contests because I have to, and 380 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 4: why because the teaser is better, and doesn't this game 381 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 4: just feel like it's going to be like like seventeen 382 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 4: all or twenty all with two minutes to play, and 383 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 4: who knows who's going to win, And maybe Pittsburgh is 384 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 4: value plus two, but if you got Pittsburgh plus eight 385 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 4: and a teaser, you cannot lose. 386 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 2: Well, And it's a I'm not going to dive into it, 387 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 2: but it's it's a bit of a tough travel schedule 388 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 2: for Jacksonville. Is they got to start to have some 389 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: jet leg from London. But did you have a have 390 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 2: a buy? Next week the squeeze One more in here 391 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 2: before we get to Dan. Carolina is hosting Houston. Now, 392 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 2: I've been a real fan of what TJ. Stroud has 393 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 2: done instantly Jamiko ryans, but you dressed him as up. 394 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: He dressed him up as a home favorite of three 395 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 2: and a half. That's where I look the other way. 396 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Carolina Houston? 397 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 4: Yes, father, And by the way, I did want to 398 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 4: mention I'd be remiss not to mention Jacksonville has had 399 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 4: ten days to prepare for Pittsburgh, so really bad travel. 400 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 4: But maybe they get maybe that helps him with the 401 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 4: ten days off, winless team off of a buy. Everyone's 402 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 4: telling Carolina and their players how terrible they are, and 403 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 4: they are terrible, but three and a half a bridge 404 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 4: too far. I will invest in Carolina plus three and 405 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 4: a half. Not to mention the fact that the entire 406 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 4: Panther organization has to deal with the fact, Hey, we 407 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 4: took the wrong guy in the draft. So if there's 408 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 4: one game all year long, they should focus to try 409 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 4: to make Young look good and do everything humanly possible 410 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 4: to make Cday stat look bad. It's this game. So 411 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 4: with two weeks to prepare, I think vacation got canceled 412 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 4: and the Panthers have this one circle. 413 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: We're going to get to the rest of the games Bengals, Niners, Bears, Chargers, Brown, Seahawks, Raiders, Lions, 414 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 2: right on down the line.

It's great here. 421 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 7: There will not be a sweep in the Fall Classic 422 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 7: thanks to one look at this guy. 423 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks to one. 424 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 7: Merril Kelly struck out nine and seven innings of work, 425 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 7: lout just one earned run. Diamondbacks top the Rangers nine 426 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 7: to one in Game two of the World Series. 427 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 8: He's getting better and better with every start. It was 428 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 8: impressive through impressive, and that's what that's a real good 429 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 8: storry pitcher is able to do. This lineup is extremely 430 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 8: potent and capable of turning it around in a hurry, 431 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 8: but he made pitches. 432 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 7: Diamondbacks Skippertory Lovello.

Nineteen th 443 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 7: ranked Air Force one in four collins against Colorado State 444 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 7: thirty to thirteen, with a bunch of snow in that matchup. 445 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 7: Some top ten action if you missed it.

Thanks so much, Dan, all right, Back to 460 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: the phasiic five fees us dive into a game of 461 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: divisional matchup Philly laying seven on the road at the 462 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 2: Washington Commanders. Now full disclosure, this is a game I 463 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 2: have fired on. I grabbed the Commandos plus seven. I 464 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 2: think Philly is increasingly expensive. You got a road favorite 465 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 2: situation near in the divisional game, and not for nothing. 466 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: In the Knick Sirianni era, Philly is only two to 467 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: nine against the number in games when they come off 468 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 2: a win as their road favorite and then got to 469 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 2: go on the road and lay Wood again. I like 470 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: the Commanders plus seven your thoughts. 471 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know, I thought you were smooth. But 472 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 4: you know, Dan Byer, I just love Dan Byer. It 473 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 4: just those those updates are so good. I wonder why 474 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 4: you even have me on the air. 475 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 2: You know. 476 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 4: One quick overreaction to college. I know I'm all over 477 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 4: the place tonight, and I apologize. Oregon's gonna win the 478 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 4: National championship. I mean they're the best team. Talk of 479 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 4: the overreaction Saturday night. I agree one hundred percent with you. 480 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 4: If there's one game not to tease, it's Philly. Two reasons. One, 481 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 4: they're not even not my seven. After they're only my seven. 482 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 4: We don't tease my seven teams. And they're a road team, 483 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 4: and we don't tease road teams. And this seems like 484 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 4: a bridge to far. These two teams. Just play the game. 485 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 4: Washington could have gone for two for the victory, and 486 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 4: now they're home. I think Philly might squeak out the win. 487 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 4: I would look to Washington, and I think. 488 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 2: Washington would be live, but I wouldn't play the money line. 489 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 2: And let's also remind the folks do not tease the 490 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 2: other way. Don't get cute and try to tease Washington 491 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 2: up to fourteen. Actually see shows on TV where they 492 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: tell you to to that fizz and I tell you 493 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 2: may if you want to kill myself with a chainsaw. 494 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: But I digress. Let's go to the Rams and Cowboys. 495 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: Cowboys laying six and a half against a Rams team 496 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 2: that's a little battered now, but you'll never see me 497 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 2: invest any money on the late Why did I just 498 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: say that? And they're not so great, Dak Prescott. I 499 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: feel like Dallas wins the game, but the Rams can 500 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 2: hang the number. I'm not a fish better. It's a 501 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: pass for me. Where do you lean here? 502 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 4: Well, we already have ten teasers in the book, and 503 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 4: I know this one doesn't qualify NOL. Dallas is like 504 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 4: minus six point seventy five right now? What do we 505 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 4: mean by that? A few books at six and night 506 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 4: other books have seven. If you really wanted to invest 507 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 4: in Dallas, I'd be okay with you teasing if you 508 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 4: had a mile six and a half down to a half, 509 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 4: because you are getting help versus the marketplace, which is 510 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 4: pretty much trending towards seven. And I do agree with you, Bernie. 511 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 4: I think Dallas will win. Another important thing, if you 512 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 4: are going to wheel all these teasers and play ten 513 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 4: different bets, if your normal bet size is, say one 514 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 4: hundred a game, then all of a sudden, if you're 515 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 4: going to play ten of these teasers, you probably should 516 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 4: only put like twenty five dollars per teaser. You see 517 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 4: where I'm going, because it's certainly possible that they go 518 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 4: up and smoke in any one week and you can't 519 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 4: be betting, you know, twenty five percent of your bank 520 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 4: roll just on teasers in one week? 521 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 2: Just what I thought. Cleveland had one of the best 522 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 2: statistical defenses in years. The Colts went up and down 523 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 2: the field against them. Last week they visited Seattle. The 524 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 2: Browns last two wins by a total of three points. Meanwhile, 525 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 2: the Seahawks, they're four and one since losing Week one 526 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 2: at home. Now, my question to you is at home, 527 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: Seattle looks pretty good to me. They're a short dog 528 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: three and a half. I could only look to the 529 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 2: Seahawks here. What are your thoughts? 530 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're right Seattle? What opened MYS three? Now, 531 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 4: MIAs three and a half head into four. You know, 532 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 4: I hate laying three and a half. I just hated Bernie, 533 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 4: the Seattle is going to win the game twenty to 534 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 4: seventeen if you could have gotten the myas three early 535 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 4: in the week. And I hate shows that do that. 536 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 4: But you know, our own friend the Hitman gave out 537 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 4: minus three on Seattle. So I'll lean Seattle three and 538 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 4: a half, but not with my money. 539 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 2: Well, you know what, we'll see where it ends up 540 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 2: on Sunday. It's an afternoon game, so you might see 541 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 2: some Cleveland money can be I think it's a it's 542 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 2: a wild card. It it's a flip of the coin. 543 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 2: All right, let's get to San Francisco Cincinnati. This is 544 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 2: a sneaky one. You got a deadline five and a half. Obviously, 545 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 2: the Bengals offense has been on a milk carton. They're 546 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 2: thirty first in rushing, twenty sixth in passing, twenty eighth 547 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: in points per game overall. But I got a funny 548 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 2: feeling after a bye week. I hear the Bengals are 549 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 2: very rad did Joe's caff is rested? This could be 550 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 2: a coming down party for Cincinnati. I'm not involved in 551 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 2: the game, but I can only look to the dog 552 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: here as well. 553 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 4: So Burrow is great as a Dog as well, so 554 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 4: I would only lean to Cincinnati. I'm embarrassed to say, 555 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 4: here's the metamorphosis of me on this game, Burk. So 556 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 4: I'm actually doing a podcast and they get reported Perdy 557 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 4: is in concussion protocol. I have him three points better, 558 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 4: two and a half to three points better than Sam Darnold. 559 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 4: So I immediately scramble and bets the Bengals and I 560 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 4: can't get five and a half anymore, but I get 561 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 4: plus four and I get plus three and a half. 562 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 4: Convinced this game is going to three, so I want 563 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 4: to get in front of the move. Well, the move 564 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 4: got in front of me. That lasts on me because 565 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 4: Perdy is the first guy all year that is going 566 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 4: to clear concussion protocol during the same week that he 567 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 4: got concussed, so he's going to play. And so now 568 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 4: I'm turning around in all these football contests and I'm 569 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 4: laying three and a half on the Niners. How I'm 570 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 4: going to win laying three and a half and taking 571 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 4: three and a half, Well, you'll have to explain that 572 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 4: to me. So I have a bad portfolio. Sometimes that happen, 573 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 4: and when you're trying to bet information and the information 574 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 4: changes at the current number Eileen Bengals. 575 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 2: So one of the games I have teased down through 576 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: down to two. The LA Chargers have got to hold 577 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 2: my nose. But the Bears come to town. They've won two 578 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 2: of their last three after starting out zho to four. Meanwhile, 579 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 2: the Chargers, they've only scored seventeen points in their last 580 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: two games, both losses. But I'm gonna watch this game 581 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 2: because I love Tyler Bagen. Love the guy. He wants 582 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 2: through two interceptions against the Colorado School of Mines. But 583 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 2: this is America. He's now starting in the National Football League. 584 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 2: Doesn't mean I'm going to back him. I got a 585 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 2: funny feeling you hold your nose, this could be a 586 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 2: Charger's blowout. 587 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 4: Your thoughts, well, Bernie, I know with your boxing background 588 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 4: you may be sixty, but you can still kick my 589 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 4: butt me being almost sixty as well. Having said that, 590 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 4: I think mister Badget, with his career in arm wrestling 591 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 4: and the like, can take you and maybe even his dad. 592 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 4: So I'd be a little careful bashing the Badgers. 593 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 2: I love the guy, I just do want to bet him. 594 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he looks fabulous, absolutely facuous. He looks savvy. 595 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 4: It didn't look like the game was too big for him. 596 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 4: You know, every time I watch fields he takes, he 597 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 4: puts his head down and he runs when the pocket collapses, 598 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 4: and Badge's cruising down the field looking left, looking right, 599 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 4: looking to Ladder hold the ball like it was just 600 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 4: incredibly good. Given that, I'm going to play the Bears 601 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 4: team total over seventeen as a prop bet, and I'm 602 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 4: going to tease the Chargers also, And. 603 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 2: Let me correct the record, I really do like Tyler Badgen. 604 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 2: He told the coaching staff don't dumb down the playbook, 605 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: and he gets the ball out of his hands and 606 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 2: he makes his read progressions and he processes very well. 607 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 2: I love the guy, And you know, let's not bury 608 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 2: the lead here. There's a reason the Chargers have the 609 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 2: thirty first ranked overall defense and they've only they've only 610 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 2: out gained two of their opponents the entire year, and 611 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 2: one of them was by one yard. 612 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 4: I'm not a bit Chargers defense is just awful. And 613 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 4: he's gonna lose the locker room. It's not his job, 614 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 4: Brent Brendon Staley. So yeah, I'm not making a big 615 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 4: investment on the Chargers. My Chargers teasers be a little 616 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 4: less than the other teasers. 617 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 2: Yes, let's jump to Monday night. I'll actually be in Detroit. 618 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 2: I think this is a real coming out party for 619 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 2: the Lions. The Raiders offense ranks twenty first. Their defense 620 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 2: is eighteenth, which is not bad because last year it 621 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 2: was thirtieth. But the Lions have a top four offensive, 622 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: top eight defense. They'll rebound after what happened in Baltimore. 623 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 2: Golf held without a touchdown for the first time this season. 624 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lay the eight and a half. This 625 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 2: is my teaser, the Chargers minus two to the Lions 626 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 2: minus two. Thoughts. 627 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is a teaser. I absolutely I said 628 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,959 Speaker 4: I'm gonna bet less on the Charger teaser. Wellban bet 629 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 4: more on the Detroit teaser, because you know what if 630 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 4: you wheel all your Detroit teasers. Here's the beauty Bernie, 631 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 4: and let's say you have a big week and all 632 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 4: your other teaser legs win. You're staring at this portfolio 633 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 4: Detroit minus two. Well, you got a lot of options, 634 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 4: because you know what, if it's going to bring in 635 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, if you've got like twelve hundred 636 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 4: to win one thousand from five different two hundred dollars teasers. 637 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 4: You can go ahead bet the Raiders plus eight and 638 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 4: a half or even plus nine of its steams at 639 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 4: bet like five point fifty back and you see where 640 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 4: I'm going, and shoot for the middle, and a lot 641 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 4: of options to have. I do agree, I think the 642 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 4: Lions are the best teaser. I would be remiss not 643 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 4: to mention there's two other possible teasers you could consider 644 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 4: this week. I didn't play them, but Tennessee from two 645 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 4: and a half up to eight and a half is 646 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 4: certainly an option, as is the Minnesota Green Bay game. 647 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 4: We've spoken about this a game that's around. Pick them, 648 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 4: don't care who they make favorite, Bernie. If they make 649 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 4: either team a one and a half point favorite, I 650 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 4: will tease them up to seven and a half and 651 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 4: I will put them in with the aforementioned Lions, which 652 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 4: I do think is the best teaser. 653 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 2: Leg of the week says, let's squeeze two more in 654 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 2: here quickly. But credit to you. You're right about Joe Burrow. 655 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 2: I should have mentioned in a second ago he's seventeen 656 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 2: and seven lifetime against the number as a dog. SODA's 657 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 2: by far my favorite bet. They're laying one and a 658 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 2: half at Green Bay. I don't like this Green Bay team. 659 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: I think Jordan Love is serviceable, but he's not what 660 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 2: they hoped he'd be. We're all realizing that now. I 661 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 2: think we all realized it years ago. Meanwhile, believe it 662 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 2: or not, Kirk Cousins gets the Monkey office back as 663 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 2: it were with the Monday night primetime game. But what's 664 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: not been reported This is Kirk cousins sixth Monday Night 665 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 2: primetime game. He was five and one straight up and 666 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 2: against the spread the week following Monday Night. I like 667 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 2: Minnesota by margin against green Bay. 668 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 4: Your thoughts, yeah, and I think you're being very You're 669 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 4: in a good mood. Burn You're being very nice tonight. 670 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 4: You love mister Badgin's and your Jordan Love, who by 671 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 4: all accounts is terrible. You believe is serviceable, and now 672 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 4: I like that word. Sure, yeah, maybe he should be 673 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 4: serving you and I when we're going for cocktails at 674 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 4: the Aria. But if I had to bet at I 675 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 4: too would bet the Vikings. 676 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 2: Yes, the last game on the board. I think it's 677 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 2: a good teaser opportunity. Miami's laying nine that gainst the 678 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 2: visiting Belichick's. This is the time of the year though, 679 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 2: after five games in where Belichick's defenses really start to 680 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 2: find their way. And as much as I love this 681 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 2: Miami team, I'm starting to wonder did they really accumulate 682 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 2: their record against teams not so good? And I know 683 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 2: New England falls in that category, but I think you 684 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 2: might get in New England plus nine and a good 685 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 2: bargain this week. 686 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 4: Your thoughts, Yeah, I'm going to play both ways, So 687 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 4: I'll tease Miami, but I'm going to play invest back 688 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 4: at normal size bet, if not a large bet, because 689 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 4: I've got Miami teasers on New England. I make the 690 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 4: game less, I make it only like seven and a 691 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 4: quarter because Miami has cluster injuries. Their center's hurt and 692 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 4: the whole left side of the line is injured. And 693 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 4: if you watch the game against Philadelphia, it was really 694 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 4: clear that the Eagles were just blowing up Miami on 695 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, and the Patriots may well give 696 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 4: them problems because of that windy day in Miami. So yeah, 697 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 4: we'll play both sides. We'll tease Miami down to the 698 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 4: mins two and we'll take the Patriots update and a half. 699 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 2: Fez, great job is always give my best to Spacolia 700 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 2: and the boys.

They'll have you covered three hours before kickoff. 738 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,720 Speaker 2: Every Sunday morning, listen to Compdown to kick Off, presented 739 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 2: by BETTMGM right here on Fox Sports Radio in the 740 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 2: iHeart Radio app. Tuesday, it begins the first leg of 741 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 2: the beauty pageant that we commonly know as the Made 742 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 2: for TV Invitational. Full playoff. Interesting day to day Florida 743 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 2: State remains undefeated. They flexed, Georgia flexed, and the world's 744 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 2: largest cocktail party, which seems to have lost a little 745 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 2: luster one lost. Texas flexed, as did Oregon. Looking good 746 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 2: for the judges, Ohio State and Washington they survived, had 747 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 2: a little scare, but they came out on top. And 748 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 2: at the end of the year, you know, they don't 749 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 2: ask college just how many. And by the way, I 750 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 2: Ohio State by metrics has the best strength of record 751 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 2: to beat in Penn State in Notre Dame, So what 752 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 2: surprise me if they're number one? Probably won't be the 753 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 2: way I think it'll be Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, and 754 00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 2: I don't know who the four team probably deserves to 755 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 2: probably Florida State, I think deserves it, okay, but we 756 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 2: shall see. But which name has been conspicuously left out? 757 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 2: And I genuinely feel bad from a buddy Chris Plank, 758 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 2: because I really was looking forward to seeing Oklahoma run 759 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 2: the table. Now they're not done. It's still in front 760 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 2: of them. They'll probably they're heading toward a collision course 761 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 2: with Texas most likely. Most likely it's not guaranteed. In 762 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 2: the Big Twelve championship game and the winner of that 763 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 2: game has a shot to get to the Final four. 764 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 2: But prior to Saturday, Oklahoma had beaten Kansas eighteen straight times. Now, 765 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 2: in terms of the Oklahoma program, that's the longest streak 766 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 2: against any individual opponent in the nation going back to 767 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 2: nineteen thirty six. Now, there's been a few stunners this season. 768 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 2: North Carolina fans, they were stunned recently, probably didn't have 769 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 2: a chance for the playoff. Here's the heartbreaker. Oklahoma's road 770 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,720 Speaker 2: to the post season was wide. The only stumbling brought 771 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 2: conceivably before Kansas. Today looked to be a potential rematch 772 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,399 Speaker 2: with Texas in the Big twelve championship game. Surely WIG 773 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 2: nine wouldn't be the day that they got beat, not 774 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 2: against Kansas. And don't call me Shirley, but that's the 775 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 2: way these things go. Kansas not only beats and they 776 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 2: beat him thirty eight to thirty three as a ten 777 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 2: point underdog, which was beat down to eight seal at 778 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 2: eight and a half. And I really like Dylan Gabriel. 779 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 2: He's picked a part a lot of defenses this season. 780 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 2: What a Lance lappolled and Kansas allow him to do today, 781 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 2: not a lot. He was only fourteen to nineteen through 782 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 2: the air, but there really weren't any big plays. And 783 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 2: give it up to Kansas's quarterback Jason Bean. He's in 784 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 2: the sixth year of his college career of being the 785 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 2: second best player on a roster. What does he do 786 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 2: makes the most of his opportunity? A career defining perform Armans. 787 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 2: He wasn't pretty, he didn't put up great yards, but 788 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 2: when the situation demanded greatness, he was great. Thirties I 789 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 2: think a thirty seven yard completion on fourth and six 790 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 2: with less than a minute to play. That was the 791 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 2: game winner. That's the stuff legends are made off. Yeah. 792 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 2: I realized Gabriel ran for three touchdowns, but at the 793 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 2: end of the day, they didn't get to w That 794 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 2: was the probably the biggest noteworthy outcome today in what 795 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 2: could have been a nondescript ay of college basketball. Coming up, 796 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 2: the NBA is back. We'll talk We'll talk it over 797 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 2: with Mark Medina. Keep it locked right here.

There's at least one international player on 810 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 2: all thirty teams. If you don't think they've grown this league, 811 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,439 Speaker 2: go back twenty five years.

Zach Lavine scores fifty one. The Bulls 822 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 2: lose by sixty to the Pistons. And did I hear 823 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 2: this right? Did Chicago Bulls? I've already had a players 824 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 2: only meeting. Is that set a record for the earliest players? 825 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 2: Can you speak to this? 826 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 5: I think it has to set a record because it 827 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 5: was literally the first game of the season. I mean, 828 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 5: this is unbelievable. 829 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 2: What's going on? 830 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 5: I mean it's wild. I remember talking into Martin Rosen 831 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 5: during the off season. He was Buller show this whole 832 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 5: idea that the Bulls should tear it down and blow 833 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 5: it up. Fans don't know what they're talking about. We 834 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 5: just need to be healthy. We have a good core, 835 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 5: myself and Alex Caruso and Zach Lavine and Nikola Vucevic, 836 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 5: And I think what happened is they got frustrated that 837 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 5: they're realizing that this might not work. Now it is 838 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 5: early in the season, but the fact that it happened 839 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 5: in the first game, this is when everyone is happy 840 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 5: because everyone thinks that they can win a championship. So 841 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 5: keep your eyes on the Windy City. It might be 842 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 5: blowing a lot. If you know what I mean. 843 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 2: I heard this from one of my Detroit moules. I 844 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 2: don't know the Detroit's going to be good this year. 845 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,720 Speaker 2: And just you know, for you trivia fans, the Bulls 846 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 2: hadn't had a fifty points game since Jordan did they 847 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 2: did back in nineteen ninety six. But I digress. So 848 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 2: when you know what, James Harden shows up and I 849 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 2: don't know if he's going to play or now, what 850 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 2: can you tell us about what's happening there with James 851 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 2: Harden Philadelphia? 852 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very fluid with when James Harden is going 853 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 5: to play, because ironically, he was ready to rejoin the team, 854 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 5: but they told him to stay back because you know, 855 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,399 Speaker 5: they didn't want him to just jump into the fire 856 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 5: after not really practicing that much. Now, you know, people 857 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 5: around James Harden think, well, you know, this is a 858 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 5: way for them to maximize trade value not playing him 859 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 5: so he doesn't get hurt and you know, maybe not 860 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 5: be an distraction because you know he's going to be 861 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 5: on the bench and people ask about it, but the 862 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 5: Sixers maintain that it's really about just trying to have 863 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 5: the appropriate ramp up. But I think regardless of that, 864 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 5: as weird as it is, it's my expectation that the 865 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,879 Speaker 5: Sixers are just going to ride this out. Like they've 866 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 5: gauged the market, including the Clippers. They're not finding deals 867 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 5: they like, and I think that they're just concluding that, 868 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 5: you know what, we'll we'll wait this down. We'll we'll 869 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 5: anticipate James Harden doing some nonsense and skipping practice because 870 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 5: eventually he'll come around. And this is the best case 871 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 5: scenario for him because Joe Embiid still on the team, 872 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 5: And it's the best case scenario for us because the 873 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 5: only deals that we can get are role players in 874 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 5: draft picks, and that's going to knock us down a 875 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 5: peg or two with the playoff and championship aspirations. So 876 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 5: I want to be surprised within the next week that 877 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 5: he winds up actually seting up for the Sixers exactly. 878 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 2: Mark Medina, Medina Magic Are Fox Sports Radio NBA guru 879 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 2: Ben Simmons, I think is I think opening nine, ten, 880 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 2: ten and eight, that's a good sign. Is how are 881 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,359 Speaker 2: things with Ben Simmons? Is he going to be able 882 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 2: to get on the floor this year? 883 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 5: Well, so far, so good. I think that the key 884 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 5: thing here is that he is healthy, that's number one. 885 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,800 Speaker 5: Number two, he doesn't have the same kind of pressure 886 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,839 Speaker 5: and expectations that he had when he was with Joe 887 00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 5: on Be in Philadelphia and when he was with Kevin 888 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 5: durant h and Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn. Now I do 889 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 5: have long terms as skepticism that he could, you know, 890 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 5: be the number one guy on the team, as well 891 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 5: as his ability to stay healthy. But right now, I 892 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 5: think it's one of those things where it's kind of 893 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 5: like he's playing with house money. There's not a lot 894 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 5: of expectations because he's lowered the bar so much on him. 895 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 5: But I think that, you know, if nothing else, if 896 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 5: he is going to be able to be relatively healthy, 897 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 5: I think that this can be kind of a good 898 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 5: bounce back season for him to show that, you know, 899 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 5: at the end of the day, for all our scrutiny 900 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 5: about his attitude and his unwillingness and a lot of 901 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 5: times in ability to make shots, he still has a 902 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 5: unique talent because of his passing and his defense. 903 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 2: Oh, I agree with all that, and he's been around 904 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 2: five years now. I've never questioned his ability. It's just 905 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 2: the you know, the availability as we're speaking that, so 906 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 2: the Lakers come back. They rebond after they lost to 907 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 2: Denver on opening night, and they have a monstrous fourth 908 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 2: quarter against Phoenix, but Phoenix was without Bradley Beal and 909 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 2: Devin Booker. What's what's going on in Phoenix from a 910 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant perspective. 911 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 5: Well, it's interesting, I asked Kevin Durant after the game 912 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 5: a little bit, and I was mentioning how there's you know, 913 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 5: concerns from the outside about the Sun's health and this 914 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 5: can sustain long term because when you look at their 915 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 5: trio players, Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, they've been currently out, 916 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 5: but Kevin Durant has had his own injury history. And 917 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 5: I qualify the question knowing, like you know, injuries happen 918 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 5: every team. It's uncontrollable to degree, but you know there 919 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 5: are ways to maximize the better odds of being on 920 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 5: the better side of health this season. And kad like 921 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 5: dismissed it entirely and so much. He said that you know, 922 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 5: people who raise that question, you know, almost have this 923 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 5: hope that's going to happen to us that we can't 924 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 5: finish the season. Now, you know, to a man, Katie 925 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 5: and I get along fine. You know, I've known him 926 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 5: from his Golden State days. I certainly, as much as 927 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 5: I don't have a stake in wins or losses, I 928 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 5: never want a guy to get hurt. But I think 929 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 5: Kevin Durant's point is that injuries happened to every team, 930 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,919 Speaker 5: and it's not the same levels. It's the same level 931 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 5: of concern that he'd have on any other team. So 932 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 5: I think it's in their mind that they're going to 933 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 5: be fine long term. These aren't serious injuries, but in 934 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 5: the short term. Seeing how Kevin Durant was against the Lakers, 935 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 5: he was just vintage KD, but his efficiency was dropping 936 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,280 Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. Clearly they need a better supporting cast, 937 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 5: and they do have, you know, competent role players, but 938 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 5: they just need to have better spacing. They need to 939 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,240 Speaker 5: have better shooting. And Frank Fogel, to his own a mission, 940 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 5: was saying that he needs to come up with some 941 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 5: better rotations. It's not just on KD doing KDS things. 942 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,440 Speaker 2: So christafs forcings Ma and his Celtics debut and Fine 943 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 2: settle and we're getting to see the new Loop Bucks. 944 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 2: We had a collision course to see the Bucks in 945 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,920 Speaker 2: the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Is it too 946 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 2: soon to assume man. 947 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 5: Well, too soon assume not only because we just don't 948 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 5: know how health plays out any team, but yeah, assuming 949 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,280 Speaker 5: that all things go accoring plan of most guys being available, 950 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 5: this is the collision course. Flip your coin, heads or tails. 951 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 5: I'll tick heads and say Bucks and seven only because 952 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 5: Janisan to the Kumbo Damian Loward, I think they're the 953 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 5: best due in the NBA. They compliment each other so 954 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 5: well with skill set personality. But I think to Boston's credit, 955 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,840 Speaker 5: Drew Holliday is the best perimeter defender. The Bucks know 956 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,879 Speaker 5: that obviously, and I think that he can at least 957 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 5: do some Wonders and somewhat slowing that down. And while 958 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,240 Speaker 5: I do have a wait and see approach about Porzingis 959 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 5: and his injury history, I know that he made a 960 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 5: lot of leaps and bounds last season with Washington, worked 961 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,720 Speaker 5: with training staffs around the clock, with you know, taking 962 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 5: preventive measures so that he is on the better side 963 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,319 Speaker 5: of health. And he is such a great talent Combabunz, 964 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 5: Tatum and Joy and Brown. Well, but yeah, this is 965 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 5: going to be an amazing playoff series to watch. It 966 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 5: can go either way, and uh, you know, from now 967 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 5: until then we should just enjoy these epic performances from 968 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:14,800 Speaker 5: both teams. 969 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,879 Speaker 2: Give me your impressions on Victor Winbinyama and his first 970 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,280 Speaker 2: two games in the NBA. 971 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 5: Well, it's clearly going to take some time, but he's 972 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 5: also shown that he is a real deal. I mean 973 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:32,280 Speaker 5: he is is an elite big man with point guard skills. 974 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 5: He has an amazing rim protection. Even the so called 975 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 5: weaknesses that he has in his game of being thin 976 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 5: and not lacking muscle, I don't want to say it's 977 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 5: not going to matter, but he has such a unique 978 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 5: skill set to get him by that it's not going 979 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 5: to hold him back from developing, and he's also going 980 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 5: to mitigate that weakness. I think. The other thing is 981 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 5: that you know the fact that he got in fout 982 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,720 Speaker 5: trouble I think early on, and that still didn't affect 983 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 5: his attitude engagement level. Great Popovic was the first to 984 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 5: say that's an encouraging sign, because sometimes young players they 985 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 5: either get discouraged and lose confidence or they don't show 986 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 5: the same kind of effort, and that was not the 987 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,400 Speaker 5: case with such For one Banillo, mark. 988 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 2: I got so much to get to. I have some 989 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,839 Speaker 2: thoughts about Brandon Miller, and I want to get your 990 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 2: first impressions on Max Strus and Chris Paul in Golden 991 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 2: State and Anthony Davis in La.

Lots 1002 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,760 Speaker 2: of stuff to get do. We continue with our NBA guru. 1003 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 2: You hear him all over the network on Fox Sports Radio. Mark. 1004 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:12,680 Speaker 2: We'll kind of just moll through these things. They have 1005 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,719 Speaker 2: so many bullet points. I want to start with the 1006 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,440 Speaker 2: Houston Rockets. They won twenty games last season. They go 1007 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,840 Speaker 2: out to spend two hundred million. They're bringing Fred Van Vliet, 1008 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,759 Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks, Jeff Green among a cast of characters and 1009 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 2: what do they do they lose by thirty opening night 1010 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 2: to the Orlando Magic. Do you have any thoughts on 1011 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,719 Speaker 2: that or is that maybe just an overreaction to on 1012 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:33,160 Speaker 2: my part? 1013 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,879 Speaker 5: Well, look, I think everything of the NBA opening week 1014 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,800 Speaker 5: we have to keep in mind this is a small 1015 00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 5: sample size, but it's also an eye opener of you know, 1016 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 5: maybe these appetizers turn into the full course meals. And 1017 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 5: while obviously they have plenty of time to change all 1018 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 5: these things, so it's not a good sign that not 1019 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 5: only are losing games, but so this severity and if 1020 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 5: I'm me Myodoka, you know I'm laying down the hammer 1021 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 5: even more. The same thing with Fred van Vliet, and 1022 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 5: you know, using the Lakers as a reference last season, 1023 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 5: they start off two and ten, they are able to rebound, 1024 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,800 Speaker 5: not just before with getting you know, trade deadline moves, 1025 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 5: but even before that, so there is time to write 1026 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,840 Speaker 5: the ship. But I think it also illustrates that Emo 1027 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,920 Speaker 5: Doka has a lot of things tiron out because before 1028 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 5: this season they're seen as a team that just had 1029 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,719 Speaker 5: a bunch of young guys that are just trying to 1030 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,080 Speaker 5: get numbers, trying to make the highlight reels, secure themselves 1031 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 5: to get paid but not actually play winning basketball. 1032 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 2: So let's look to Golden State. It's my understanding that 1033 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,400 Speaker 2: Draamon Green will be back this week. Is that correct? 1034 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 5: Yep, She's playing to me back tomorrow. 1035 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 2: So here's why I asked that Chris Paul. He could 1036 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 2: make a three and you know against Phoenix, but he 1037 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,920 Speaker 2: dished out a lot of assists. So how happily and 1038 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 2: willingly will Chris Paul move to the bench when Draymond 1039 00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 2: Green returns from his ankle injury. 1040 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,880 Speaker 5: It says that Chris Paul will be fine with it. 1041 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,320 Speaker 5: I think that when we look at his initial comments 1042 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,319 Speaker 5: last summer where he bristled at a reporter about coming 1043 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,879 Speaker 5: off the bench at ass are you Coaching? I think 1044 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 5: it highlighted just the reality that he and Steve Kurdin 1045 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 5: actually talk about the role yet so they didn't want 1046 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,319 Speaker 5: to preemptively demote himself if it wasn't necessary. But since 1047 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 5: those conversations have happened, I think Chris Paul has changed 1048 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,640 Speaker 5: his tune and made it clear that he's going to sacrifice. 1049 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,319 Speaker 5: And I think for the Warriors, when they've said that, 1050 00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:32,439 Speaker 5: maybe Chris Paul starts, so they'll keep it fluid. It's 1051 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 5: not so much about them acquiescing or trying to tiptoe 1052 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 5: around him and being afraid of, you know, his reaction. 1053 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 5: I think it's just more out of respect for the 1054 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,360 Speaker 5: fact that he is a future Hall of Famer, and 1055 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 5: they also just want to be very flexible with roster combinations. 1056 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:52,040 Speaker 5: So with that, I suspect that maybe Draymond Green doesn't 1057 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 5: start right away. Maybe it is kind of like a 1058 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,880 Speaker 5: minute's restriction thing, phasing back. But I think eventually you know, 1059 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,520 Speaker 5: whether he starts Sunday or just you know, the next 1060 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,399 Speaker 5: game and onward. I think Chris Paul will accept it. 1061 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,759 Speaker 5: And what's going to happen is there's going to be 1062 00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,360 Speaker 5: fluidity with when he's closing lineups and when he's with 1063 00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,120 Speaker 5: the second unit in crunch time. I think that's the 1064 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 5: bigger indicator on who starts, because usually that first rotation 1065 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,920 Speaker 5: is pretty short to begin with. It's that closing lineup 1066 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,359 Speaker 5: that provides a lot more clarity with who the head 1067 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 5: coach trusts the most. And I think in this case, 1068 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,319 Speaker 5: maybe there's times that they close with him because he's 1069 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,480 Speaker 5: playing really well and they want to go small. But 1070 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 5: there's gonna be a lot of times that they go big, 1071 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,400 Speaker 5: and they also want to preserve him because of you 1072 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 5: know the fact that he is thirty eight in his 1073 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:40,840 Speaker 5: nineteen season. 1074 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,880 Speaker 2: No, that's outstanding. What you just said. That's NBA one 1075 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,480 Speaker 2: on one. It's really not who starts to finishes. And 1076 00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,720 Speaker 2: if you got a guy like Al Horford who really 1077 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,399 Speaker 2: likes his role in Boston off the bench and who 1078 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,400 Speaker 2: willingly accepts it, you know, I guess we'll just have 1079 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:58,920 Speaker 2: to see that, you know, if Chris Paul can adapt 1080 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 2: the same way a guy like that Horford has. But 1081 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 2: it's a long season. We got a long way to 1082 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,800 Speaker 2: go before April and the playoffs start. Speaking of playoffs, 1083 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,960 Speaker 2: if you watch the game, I'm sure you were at 1084 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,400 Speaker 2: the game Monday or the internet against Denver when the 1085 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,359 Speaker 2: Lakers opened up, I'm guessing your heart would sink when 1086 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 2: you realize the gap between Denver and the Lakers. However, 1087 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,720 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter against the Phoenix Suns, the Lakers 1088 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 2: showed who they could be. But this leads to my question. 1089 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,239 Speaker 2: Anthony Davis may have had thirteen points, but it was 1090 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 2: really Lebron James who took over the crux of the 1091 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,880 Speaker 2: fourth quarter against the Suns. He's thirty eight. He can't 1092 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,880 Speaker 2: do that every night. Anthony Davis, is he going to 1093 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 2: accept the man to once and for all? 1094 00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 5: We'll see, and I think the thing, all the stuff 1095 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 5: is gray. Here we see the extreme of two games 1096 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 5: Lebron minutes restriction under twenty nine minutes. All of a 1097 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 5: sudden he's playing thirty five. And that's dramatic, But I 1098 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 5: think that it was like game circumstances, the fact that 1099 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,800 Speaker 5: they felt like they had a shot to beat Phoenix 1100 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,759 Speaker 5: because they were under man where Denver, they're just well 1101 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,120 Speaker 5: oiled machines. With Anthony Davis, it's not so much about 1102 00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,399 Speaker 5: looking at the box score and seeing the big fat 1103 00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,839 Speaker 5: zero in the second half against the Nuggets. It's more 1104 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 5: about how aggressive is he playing? And I think with 1105 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 5: Anthony Davis, we saw an element of growth during the playoffs, 1106 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 5: not just with being healthy but being a lot more 1107 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 5: aggressive on a consistent basis, but also illustrates that the 1108 00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,720 Speaker 5: job's not done yet. He still has room to grow there. 1109 00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,560 Speaker 5: I think that he can do that, but he also 1110 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:34,400 Speaker 5: has to take ownership. It's not about how is the Laker, 1111 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,080 Speaker 5: how are the Lakers featuring him on offense? It's not 1112 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 5: about oh well, if I make shots, that's that's fine. 1113 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,640 Speaker 5: He has to have that mentality through makes or misses, 1114 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,759 Speaker 5: because it's going to do two things. It's going to 1115 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 5: allow himself to be that defensive anchor that could make 1116 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 5: him a defensive Player of the Year, and it will 1117 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:56,319 Speaker 5: also let him get through any rough patches on the 1118 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,719 Speaker 5: offensive end. And I know that he's been inconsistent, but 1119 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,640 Speaker 5: his credit, he has taken a turn for the better 1120 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,800 Speaker 5: in the playoffs. But I think this early season struggle 1121 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,479 Speaker 5: shows a reminder that he's got to take his game 1122 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 5: to an even bigger level because they're trying to reduce 1123 00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,680 Speaker 5: the workload for Lebron so that he doesn't get hurt 1124 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,280 Speaker 5: and that he is fresh when the playoffs start. 1125 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,280 Speaker 2: A couple of teams under the radar. What are your 1126 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 2: expectations for the Clippers this year? Russell Westbrook had a 1127 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,440 Speaker 2: double double, He looks happy, he looked like he was 1128 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 2: full of energy, had a little highlight, real dunk here 1129 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 2: in there. What are your expectations for the Clippers this year? 1130 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 5: I don't view them as a championship contender. I think 1131 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:43,320 Speaker 5: the easy answer for why is the same reason why 1132 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,520 Speaker 5: they fall in short the past four years with Kawhi 1133 00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 5: Leonard and Paul George. I just don't think that they 1134 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 5: can stay healthy. But I think that it's going to 1135 00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 5: be relatively better than in previous seasons because, to their 1136 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,440 Speaker 5: credit Kawhi and PG, they are fully healthy at this point. 1137 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 5: I specifically, it's further removed from his athel injury. So 1138 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 5: I think with that they're going to be a competitive team. 1139 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,600 Speaker 5: Don't make the playoffs, but I don't think they're going 1140 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,960 Speaker 5: to go far. So I think that their ceiling is 1141 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 5: they get to the second round. I think it's most 1142 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,160 Speaker 5: likely that's going to be a first round exit. And 1143 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,240 Speaker 5: you know that's not going to say well with the Clippers. 1144 00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 5: You know, they have championship aspirations because of who they 1145 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,240 Speaker 5: have on the roster and the fact that it's the 1146 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:27,439 Speaker 5: last season Crypto dot Com Arena. But I think objectively, 1147 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 5: there's going to be a clear difference between the Clippers 1148 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 5: losing the first round because of health concerns versus they 1149 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 5: lost the first round because the rest of the field 1150 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 5: is just substantially better. And I'm looking at the field 1151 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 5: being the Denver Nuggets, the Phoenix Suns, the Lakers, the 1152 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 5: Golden State Warriors, and maybe the Memphis Grizzlies. If Jean 1153 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 5: Moran gets his acts together. 1154 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 2: I'm with Mark Medina Medina Magic Our Fox Sports Radio, 1155 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 2: NBA guru. Just look to the east. I want to 1156 00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 2: get your thoughts on the Cleveland Cavaliers. You know, Max 1157 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,840 Speaker 2: Truce made a name for himself last year. Miami got 1158 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,440 Speaker 2: himself a nice sixty million dollars deal. Who can shoot you? 1159 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,800 Speaker 2: Put him alongside of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, Cleveland 1160 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,160 Speaker 2: could make some noise your thoughts. 1161 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 5: Well, Donovan Mitchell was making a very interesting comparison about 1162 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,880 Speaker 5: Max Sers. He was liking him to Kyle Korver and 1163 00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 5: Kyle Korver. It's one of the best three point shooters 1164 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 5: ever in the league. I mean, he is that efficient. Now, 1165 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,800 Speaker 5: when we're looking at these three games sample size, he 1166 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 5: has shown some element of feast or famine. He shot 1167 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:33,240 Speaker 5: really well the first and third game. The second game 1168 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 5: he went two of eleven from deep. But he is 1169 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 5: a very winning player and he needs guys who can 1170 00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,760 Speaker 5: make shots. And while he might not have that every 1171 00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,680 Speaker 5: single game, he's going to have that most games. And 1172 00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 5: now this might illustrate and give the Miami Heat some 1173 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,240 Speaker 5: headaches of oh you know they're really could use someone 1174 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:56,400 Speaker 5: like him, but understand why Miami let him go. They 1175 00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,080 Speaker 5: didn't have the cap space to keep him because of 1176 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,520 Speaker 5: the new you know, penalties for high spending teams. So 1177 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,680 Speaker 5: they're also trying to clear the deck to get Damian Loward. 1178 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 5: That didn't work out, But I do understand and respect 1179 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,920 Speaker 5: the ambition here. But clearly Cleveland, you know, has some 1180 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,920 Speaker 5: more help to release some pressure off Donovan Mitchell, and 1181 01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 5: they also have a guy that can make some good 1182 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,560 Speaker 5: outside shots when when needed. 1183 01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,720 Speaker 2: Wrap it up with Mark Medina Medina Magic, a couple 1184 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 2: of quikis here. We talked about Brandon Miller last week 1185 01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:31,000 Speaker 2: and how his legal flables are following him into the NBA, 1186 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 2: but you wouldn't have known it. The other night I 1187 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,080 Speaker 2: watched him, and I'd say, this kid's got real offensive game. 1188 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,120 Speaker 2: He had a couple threes, step back, three, reverse layup. 1189 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 2: He can score anywhere on the floor. Your thoughts on 1190 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 2: Brandon Miller. 1191 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he had a really explosive game. Of 1192 01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,760 Speaker 5: these first two autings here, he showed his athleticism, he 1193 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 5: showed how he's such a wing presence. And I think 1194 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:55,400 Speaker 5: it's ironic here because you know, we're so reactionary when 1195 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 5: it comes to draft picks, and you know we're talking about, Oh, 1196 01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,000 Speaker 5: the Hornets are really whipped out on choosing Brandon Miller 1197 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,280 Speaker 5: when we're raving about Scoot Henderson. But I thought Scoot 1198 01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 5: Henderson his rookie debut against the Clippers and he was 1199 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 5: not good at all. But it doesn't mean really much 1200 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 5: of anything. It's a starting point. I think Scoot Henderson 1201 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,439 Speaker 5: can bounce back, but also shows that you know, even 1202 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 5: if you have a couple could out and it's like 1203 01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:22,360 Speaker 5: Brandon Miller has, the work's not done. But you know, 1204 01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:26,440 Speaker 5: I understand why the charl Hornets picked Brandon Miller. I 1205 01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 5: think the reality is, even if you follow that old 1206 01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 5: adage that you select talent overnead, the reality is they 1207 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 5: already had a point guard, Will melow Ball, and why 1208 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 5: develop a guy that might not get as many minutes 1209 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,360 Speaker 5: because their main guy is playing a similar position. 1210 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 2: Last one for me, Mark, we just got about a minute. 1211 01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,200 Speaker 2: I watched the MAVs and Spurs and I kept my 1212 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,120 Speaker 2: eye on Victor wimbin Yama. But I'll tell you who 1213 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 2: really caught my eye. Dereck Lively. He was drafted twelfth overall, 1214 01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 2: you talk about a beast. He had a double double. 1215 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,480 Speaker 2: Very have not realized the Mavericks as a team couldn't 1216 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,160 Speaker 2: guard a park car. But they got some players to watch. 1217 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:07,840 Speaker 2: Can the Mavericks make some noise? 1218 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,240 Speaker 5: They could make some noise because I Luka Dncics and 1219 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,280 Speaker 5: Kyrie are ivery and I think their chemistry is just 1220 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,680 Speaker 5: going to continue to get better with more on court time. 1221 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,520 Speaker 5: I don't think that there's any personality conflicts or anything 1222 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 5: like that. Now. I do have some skepticism because I 1223 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:24,680 Speaker 5: just don't think that they have the same kind of 1224 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,640 Speaker 5: talent that some of the top teams in the West too. 1225 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:31,560 Speaker 5: But to the Mavericks credit, their main weakness last season 1226 01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,880 Speaker 5: was defense. Derrick Lively, the second is a really good 1227 01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:40,920 Speaker 5: defensive player. Yeah, and rebounder and Grant Williams, you know 1228 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,960 Speaker 5: they're as you play with the Celtics last season. He's 1229 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 5: a great defender too. So they're at least not going 1230 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 5: to be a liability on defense. But they don't have 1231 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,440 Speaker 5: the same obvious continuity and depth as some of the 1232 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,760 Speaker 5: other top echelon teams. I think with Dallas, yeah, they'll 1233 01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,360 Speaker 5: make the playoffs. I don't think they'll make a deep run. 1234 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 5: But you know, compared to last season where they didn't 1235 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 5: even make the Plan Tournament, it is an obvious step 1236 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 5: in the right direction, and that. 1237 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 2: Was somewhat by design. But I digress, Mark, great stuff. 1238 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 2: Really appreciate you. The NBA is off and running another 1239 01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,920 Speaker 2: edition of Medina Magic. Marketsarest, my man, I know how 1240 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:18,480 Speaker 2: busy you have been. 1241 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 5: I appreciate you, man, Mark. 1242 01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:25,000 Speaker 2: Medina Medina Magic coming up. What did we learn from 1243 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:29,400 Speaker 2: Victor Webbin Yama's debut the other night. I'll tell you, 1244 01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 2: but first just go back to our guy with the 1245 01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,600 Speaker 2: Golden Tones, Dan Byer with the latest Bernie. 1246 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,919 Speaker 7: Game two of the World Series was all Arizona on 1247 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:43,120 Speaker 7: Saturday night in Arlington. Snakes put up sixteen hits against Texas, 1248 01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,080 Speaker 7: winning nine to one. Also got some good work from 1249 01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:49,479 Speaker 7: Merrill Kelly on the mound, going seven, striking out nine 1250 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,760 Speaker 7: as Arizona tied. The World Series had a game apiece 1251 01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,320 Speaker 7: with those Texas Rangers. Here was Snake's Skippertory Levello on 1252 01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,040 Speaker 7: the performance of his pitcher on Saturday night. 1253 01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:02,240 Speaker 8: He's getting better and better with every start. It was 1254 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 8: impressive through impressive, and that's what that's a real good 1255 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,120 Speaker 8: Storty Pitcher is able to do. This lineup is extremely 1256 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 8: potent and capable of turning it around in a hurry, 1257 01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:12,280 Speaker 8: but he made pitches again. 1258 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:13,760 Speaker 6: Series tied up at one. Game three. 1259 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,440 Speaker 7: The World Series takes place in Phoenix, coming up on Monday. 1260 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,760 Speaker 7: On Sunday, in the NFL, Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas 1261 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,960 Speaker 7: was added to the team's injury report, now questionable to 1262 01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,520 Speaker 7: face the Colts later today as he's dealing with an illness. 1263 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 7: ESPN reports that the Browns don't believe that quarterback Deshaun 1264 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 7: Watson will make an ir stint. Instead, team says they 1265 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:40,160 Speaker 7: consider him week to week. ESPN adding that Watson likely 1266 01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 7: to miss a week or two, but not the four 1267 01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,959 Speaker 7: that would be required for injured reserve. All the action 1268 01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,720 Speaker 7: from Saturday and some that have went in this Sunday 1269 01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 7: and now done in college football, including Arizona up ending 1270 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:55,560 Speaker 7: Number eleven Oregon State twenty seven to twenty four. Twenty 1271 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,960 Speaker 7: third ranked UCLA a winner against Colorado twenty eight to sixteen, 1272 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,320 Speaker 7: will stay in the p We're number five. Washington got 1273 01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,520 Speaker 7: all they could handle but ended up topping Stanford forty 1274 01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 7: two to thirty three. Number three Ohio State a winner 1275 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 7: against Wisconsin twenty four to ten, while San Jose State 1276 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:14,480 Speaker 7: in the final game of the day top to Hawaii 1277 01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,520 Speaker 7: thirty five to nothing. You were just talking some hoops. 1278 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 7: Suns top to Jazz one twenty six to one oh four, 1279 01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 7: Kevin Durant had twenty six, Joellumbean thirty four and the 1280 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,880 Speaker 7: Sixers win against the Raptors one fourteen to one oh seven, 1281 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,240 Speaker 7: and finally Timberwolves to care the Heat one oh six 1282 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:28,720 Speaker 7: to ninety. 1283 01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,439 Speaker 6: Bernie, it's all yours, Dan. 1284 01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,200 Speaker 2: I like it a way in I like the way 1285 01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:38,160 Speaker 2: the Bucks do business. They just locked up uh Yiannis 1286 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,360 Speaker 2: for three more years at one eighty six, and that 1287 01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:44,520 Speaker 2: matches his, you know, tenure with the Bucks as it were, 1288 01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,680 Speaker 2: alongside Dame Lillard. They're poised. What are your expectations for 1289 01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:49,120 Speaker 2: the Bucks. 1290 01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:52,080 Speaker 7: I think that you have to look at a return 1291 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:56,080 Speaker 7: trip to the NBA Finals for Milwaukee, and I don't 1292 01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,320 Speaker 7: want to say championship or bust in one year, but 1293 01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:02,000 Speaker 7: I think that's probably the goal of Giannis and Damian Lillard, 1294 01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 7: and for them anything less than a championship probably will 1295 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 7: be a disappointment. But I think that you do have 1296 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 7: to get back to the NBA Finals something to build on. 1297 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:13,959 Speaker 7: I agree on your assessment of liking what the Buck's doing. 1298 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 7: Taking my fandom out of it, the team was kind 1299 01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,880 Speaker 7: of stale, Bernie. They really were like it felt like 1300 01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 7: they had reached as far as they were going to 1301 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,520 Speaker 7: go with that current version of the team. 1302 01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 6: And it's not only the Lillard deal. 1303 01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,560 Speaker 7: It's Malik Beasley in the offseason, some of the pieces 1304 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:34,080 Speaker 7: that they moved out in that trade, marj On boat 1305 01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,240 Speaker 7: Champ getting more of an opportunity to play. It seems 1306 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,480 Speaker 7: to be a little more, a little bit more energy 1307 01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 7: with the Bucks right now, and I think that it 1308 01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,320 Speaker 7: can pay off later on in the season. Dame's debut 1309 01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,920 Speaker 7: couldn't have been any better for what he did, especially 1310 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:49,960 Speaker 7: late in the win against Philadelphia on Thursday. 1311 01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:51,959 Speaker 6: But yeah, so far, so good. 1312 01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,280 Speaker 2: One game in Well, I do like the way they 1313 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,680 Speaker 2: do business. And listen, they get to the NBA Finals 1314 01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,480 Speaker 2: this year, let's say they don't. But what this does 1315 01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 2: it causes you to perhaps expect get us one championship 1316 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 2: in the next three years and this experiment will have worked. 1317 01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:14,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, And it's funny because as a Bucks fan, and 1318 01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,880 Speaker 7: I think a lot of us may have been happy 1319 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 7: with the one because there was a time in our 1320 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,480 Speaker 7: lives where we never thought it would be possible that 1321 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,960 Speaker 7: the NBA titles were for the halves and not the 1322 01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 7: have nots. And then Giannis comes along and changes things. 1323 01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,360 Speaker 7: But you get that one title, and maybe you're satisfied now. 1324 01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 7: I think it provides that craving for a second title, 1325 01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:36,880 Speaker 7: and I don't think they're asking for the world. As 1326 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 7: you said, if you get a title in the next 1327 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,080 Speaker 7: three years, maybe gravy to the one that they got 1328 01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 7: just a couple of years ago. 1329 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,360 Speaker 2: I do like their mix, though, and you're right about 1330 01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,560 Speaker 2: Dame comes out of the gate with thirty nine points 1331 01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 2: and eight rebounds, and brook Lopez looked good too. So 1332 01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,680 Speaker 2: long season, but I'm with you, all right. I want 1333 01:07:55,680 --> 01:08:01,520 Speaker 2: to switch gears. Obviously, the fanfare surrounding Victor Wabanyama has 1334 01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 2: been through the roof, and Greg Popovich has elected to 1335 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,840 Speaker 2: hang around, and I think he wants to see where 1336 01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 2: this can go. I happen to be there as an 1337 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 2: intern for the Lakers when Magic made his debut. I 1338 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 2: saw Lebron's debut, how I saw Lloyd sweet p Daniel's debut. 1339 01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 2: I'm really going to watch Victor Wembinyama. I'm not so 1340 01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:26,799 Speaker 2: sure what his ceiling is. Obviously he's a very good player, 1341 01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:30,960 Speaker 2: very poised. But Popovich must have designs. You know. There's 1342 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,639 Speaker 2: a story one of the greatest musicians of all time, 1343 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:40,960 Speaker 2: Pablo Casals, perhaps the greatest cellist of all time, and 1344 01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 2: he lived to be ninety seven years old. There's a 1345 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,760 Speaker 2: school named after him in Chicago, Totterno University, until he 1346 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:48,960 Speaker 2: was ninety three. One day, as student walked into his 1347 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:52,240 Speaker 2: office and he was practicing, and the student couldn't believe it, 1348 01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,040 Speaker 2: and he says, mister Cassal's I don't understand. You're ninety 1349 01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,920 Speaker 2: three years old. Why do you still practice three hours 1350 01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:01,080 Speaker 2: a day? He said, young man, I'm beginning to see 1351 01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:05,360 Speaker 2: some progress. I'm beginning to see some improvement. That's where 1352 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,760 Speaker 2: I think Greg Popovich is here when he looks at 1353 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,840 Speaker 2: this Spurs team and you bring in a guy like 1354 01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,519 Speaker 2: Victor webbin Yama, and I wouldn't call him a project, 1355 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,880 Speaker 2: but he's not going to have the instant success magic had. 1356 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:17,679 Speaker 2: It's just not And if you look for the first 1357 01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 2: three quarters, and I'm only going to talk about his 1358 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,160 Speaker 2: opening night, Okay, that's the first impression six points to 1359 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 2: a four shooting had some foult issues and I didn't 1360 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,720 Speaker 2: see a lot of jaw dropping highlights. I wouldn't even 1361 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:33,000 Speaker 2: think he was the most impressive rookie that night. As 1362 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,680 Speaker 2: I mentioned to Mark Derek Collively, the second made his 1363 01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 2: first six shots. He's a beast on the boards. He's 1364 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 2: like Tyson Chandler, but I think maybe better. But the 1365 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 2: truth of the matter is Wemby is a show. He 1366 01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,320 Speaker 2: was a show here even though he only played two 1367 01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,720 Speaker 2: games in the Summer League. Everybody wants to see him. 1368 01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 2: I understand that in San Antonio, were there were almost 1369 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,240 Speaker 2: nineteen thousand people the other night, it was like a 1370 01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:02,680 Speaker 2: finals like atmosphere. There were two hundred media members credentialed 1371 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:07,400 Speaker 2: from eight different countries, and every one of them even 1372 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:11,120 Speaker 2: along the sidelines the baseline where they were there to 1373 01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,120 Speaker 2: see Wemby, and they were there for the pregame warm 1374 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 2: up seventy minutes before the game. This was the most 1375 01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:22,000 Speaker 2: innticipated debut I think in the NBA in I don't know, 1376 01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:23,840 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five years. I don't know who the last 1377 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:27,760 Speaker 2: one would have been. Wemby gets it. I'm impressed with 1378 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 2: his maturity all right, high fiving fans on both sides 1379 01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,879 Speaker 2: as he walked out. He's got this saint foot wingspan. 1380 01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:38,240 Speaker 2: He's probably high fiveing fans in the top row. People 1381 01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,920 Speaker 2: got their phones out, they got their cameras are out. 1382 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:42,840 Speaker 2: He's the man of the hour. They're pointing at him. 1383 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,760 Speaker 2: Begins his pregame routine, dribbles around, and then he worked 1384 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 2: his way around, shooting around the court for twenty minutes. 1385 01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:51,960 Speaker 2: And then what does he do. He has a brief 1386 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:55,160 Speaker 2: chat with some people and so on and so forth, 1387 01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,160 Speaker 2: and he did show a few flashes he's got a 1388 01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 2: men's talent on the defensive side and on the offensive side. 1389 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,320 Speaker 2: And I think he also showed that the Spurs staff 1390 01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:11,720 Speaker 2: has to really they have to really determine how are 1391 01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 2: we going to best utilize this guy. All Right, they've 1392 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,920 Speaker 2: already gotten an unconventional lineup. They got three big men. 1393 01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 2: They don't really have a point guard. I don't know. 1394 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,519 Speaker 2: You know, Wemby was a playmaker in Europe, and he 1395 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 2: could make his own He liked to create his own 1396 01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:34,400 Speaker 2: shot off the bounce. He does have strengths as a 1397 01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:37,559 Speaker 2: pick and roll screener. I do think he can be 1398 01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 2: a rim runner, a rim protector. But as I watched 1399 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:41,720 Speaker 2: him away from the ball, he spent a lot of 1400 01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:44,320 Speaker 2: his time floating around the perimeter asking for the ball, 1401 01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,400 Speaker 2: and he did get into foul trumble that was kind 1402 01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,599 Speaker 2: of the story of the night that limited to twenty 1403 01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:52,400 Speaker 2: three minutes, but he did. He showed glimpses. What the 1404 01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 2: Spurs have to figure out how to do is get 1405 01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,920 Speaker 2: him more involved in the offense to where you know 1406 01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:01,760 Speaker 2: he can get easy look And I don't know that 1407 01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,559 Speaker 2: they know how to do that yet, and maybe that's 1408 01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,640 Speaker 2: a work in progress. But the truth of the matter is, 1409 01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 2: if I was honest, it was the MAVs rookie who 1410 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 2: just told the show that night. That's nothing against Victor Wembinyama. 1411 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:16,840 Speaker 2: I would just say, if you consider his stage of 1412 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:20,479 Speaker 2: development at his age, this is not a criticism, it's 1413 01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 2: an observation because I saw Darryl Dawkins at his age, 1414 01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:26,759 Speaker 2: I saw Moses Malone at his age, I saw Magic 1415 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:31,120 Speaker 2: Johnson at his age. These guys flashed, even Devin Booker. 1416 01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,360 Speaker 2: I can't say Wemby flashed, but I can say I 1417 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,120 Speaker 2: think he's a very good basketball player. But this talk 1418 01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:43,679 Speaker 2: of him being this, you know, his generational transcendent human being. 1419 01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:49,760 Speaker 2: That's pretty pretty high praise and quite a lofty what 1420 01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:51,639 Speaker 2: I would consider to be reputation to have to live 1421 01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:53,760 Speaker 2: up to. Let's see where he is, and even if 1422 01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,240 Speaker 2: he is, it's going to take two or three years 1423 01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,880 Speaker 2: to get there. It just simply is. It's not going 1424 01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 2: to be like magic or like Bird was. Of course 1425 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,519 Speaker 2: Bird had also gone to college. But again, why do 1426 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 2: I invoke those names? Because those guys are the Alzheimer's, 1427 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:09,880 Speaker 2: and we were told Wemby was gonna be in Alzheimer 1428 01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:13,600 Speaker 2: coming up. I'm gonna give you, from my basketball perspective, 1429 01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:17,760 Speaker 2: the four biggest adjustments I think Wemby's gonna have to 1430 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:22,920 Speaker 2: make in the National Basketball Association to morphrom Blossom into 1431 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,600 Speaker 2: the superstar that people are telling us he's going to be. 1432 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,680 Speaker 2: This can't miss transcended player.

We've got a very interesting schedule 1447 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,679 Speaker 2: from a fans standpoint this week. I believe we've got 1448 01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,000 Speaker 2: the Battle of New York. We've got Rams, Cowboys, we 1449 01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:35,280 Speaker 2: got Pats Dolphins, we got Raiders and the Lions Monday night. 1450 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,559 Speaker 2: And how about since he traveled into San Francisco. But 1451 01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:41,600 Speaker 2: I want to finish my thoughts on Victor Wimbinyama. And 1452 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:44,519 Speaker 2: I know he's gained eighteen pounds since the Summer League, 1453 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:46,599 Speaker 2: but these are my observation, tend Noninet of the summer League. 1454 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,519 Speaker 2: Number one, these are the adjustments he's going to have 1455 01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:51,200 Speaker 2: to make to make sure he can have the kind 1456 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,800 Speaker 2: of success people are projected he's got to be able 1457 01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,559 Speaker 2: to deal with the big, big stud bodies of the 1458 01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,960 Speaker 2: opponents he's gonna go up against eighty two nights a year. 1459 01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:01,799 Speaker 2: I don't know if he'll play all eighty two games. 1460 01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:07,800 Speaker 2: And with that defensive rebounding and some low post defense. Now, 1461 01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:11,200 Speaker 2: he did struggle a little bit to play aggressively down 1462 01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:13,840 Speaker 2: low in Vegas. He's gonna have to find a way 1463 01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:18,000 Speaker 2: to use finesse as his advantage now. To be fair, 1464 01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:22,400 Speaker 2: Wemby scored nine points in less than four minutes in 1465 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter against Dallas, and he got a match 1466 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:31,280 Speaker 2: up against Lively in transition and he seemed to somewhat 1467 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,639 Speaker 2: hold his own. But I will tell you that right now, 1468 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,519 Speaker 2: if you watch the way the Spurs are using him, 1469 01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:39,519 Speaker 2: the reluctant to play in full time at the five, 1470 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,080 Speaker 2: so they're gonna have to find other ways to feature Wemby. 1471 01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:44,799 Speaker 2: He didn't touch the ball on either of the team's 1472 01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:47,880 Speaker 2: final two possessions, all right, So right now he looks 1473 01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,160 Speaker 2: to be a tall perimeter player, which means he's gonna 1474 01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:54,160 Speaker 2: have to do with ballhawking defenders. I know they didn't 1475 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:57,080 Speaker 2: let him handle the ball a lot the first two games, 1476 01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:59,640 Speaker 2: but in the Summer League, he handled a lot and 1477 01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:02,599 Speaker 2: Hampton to make plays well, not just for himself but 1478 01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,719 Speaker 2: for others, and that led him to losing the ball 1479 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,360 Speaker 2: in traffic in the Summer League of South my own eyes. 1480 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,400 Speaker 2: And if he wants to be a playmaker, creating his 1481 01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:14,840 Speaker 2: own shout off the bounce and have that be a 1482 01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:19,320 Speaker 2: permanent part of his game and have the spurs being 1483 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,720 Speaker 2: positioned to allow him to do that, he does have 1484 01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:24,160 Speaker 2: to get a little bit better in those situations dribbling 1485 01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:26,439 Speaker 2: in traffic. See the first two games in the real NBA, 1486 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:30,160 Speaker 2: they didn't let him do that a lot. Now. Perimeter defense, 1487 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,599 Speaker 2: he showed me some flashes in the first two games. 1488 01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,759 Speaker 2: Because this is going to be a real challenge. Defending 1489 01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,920 Speaker 2: wings in the NBA is as hard of a task 1490 01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:44,679 Speaker 2: as you can have in the league. Because they're so athletic, 1491 01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:46,640 Speaker 2: they're tall, they can shoot, they can run. It's a 1492 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,920 Speaker 2: different game than it used to be. And what I 1493 01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 2: expect teams will do will try to pull Wemby from 1494 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:56,760 Speaker 2: the paint and switching situations, and just because he has 1495 01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,679 Speaker 2: tremendous length, that's not going to be enough to stop 1496 01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:01,479 Speaker 2: player on the wing. He's going to have to move 1497 01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,479 Speaker 2: without the ball. He's gonna have to anticipate and close out. 1498 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 2: In his summer League debut against Charlotte, he missed a 1499 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:13,080 Speaker 2: couple of soft closeouts and Brandon Miller knocked on too 1500 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:17,000 Speaker 2: easy outside shots in rhythm. Wemby was late to get there. 1501 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:21,560 Speaker 2: So if he's going to be the defensive force consistently 1502 01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,519 Speaker 2: that people have projected him to be, he's going to 1503 01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:27,840 Speaker 2: have to be consistent and that area of the game's 1504 01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,800 Speaker 2: going to have to improve. So we've got dealing with 1505 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,280 Speaker 2: big bodies, dealing with ball hawking defenders, dribbling in traffic 1506 01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,000 Speaker 2: so you don't lose the ball, and perimeter defense. Finally, 1507 01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:40,719 Speaker 2: I don't know how you can have a guy seven 1508 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,280 Speaker 2: foot six or seven foot seven, or wherever the hell 1509 01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,280 Speaker 2: tall he is and not find a way to utilize 1510 01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:50,800 Speaker 2: him in defensive rebounding. And I'm not talking about six 1511 01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,400 Speaker 2: seven eight rebounds a game. I'm talking about double that. 1512 01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:57,640 Speaker 2: He's got to be a premium rebounder on the offensive 1513 01:17:57,640 --> 01:17:59,840 Speaker 2: side and the defensive side. 1514 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,000 Speaker 6: And again, I. 1515 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,320 Speaker 2: Didn't see either of the NBA games he played in 1516 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,639 Speaker 2: this week in person, obviously, but I saw his Summer 1517 01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:10,240 Speaker 2: league games in person and he struggled. There were times, 1518 01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,200 Speaker 2: if you watch away from the ball, he had a 1519 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,679 Speaker 2: little bit of an inability to locate the ball off 1520 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:16,920 Speaker 2: the rim, and he had a little bit of an 1521 01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,759 Speaker 2: inability to box out players even though they were smaller. 1522 01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:24,160 Speaker 2: If I'm being honest, there were times Wemby's reactions were 1523 01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:26,880 Speaker 2: second slower than the other players on the court. Remember 1524 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:31,120 Speaker 2: that was the NBA Summer League. Okay, he's in the 1525 01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,599 Speaker 2: real league now. But one of the things I do 1526 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:38,800 Speaker 2: like is his physical attitude and his I think the 1527 01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,040 Speaker 2: moment doesn't seem too big for him. He's obviously played 1528 01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:45,080 Speaker 2: in big crowds before, in front of big crowds before. 1529 01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:48,639 Speaker 2: I think he's comfortable with the moment. He's comfortable being 1530 01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:51,720 Speaker 2: in the moment. But as the league goes on and 1531 01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:55,200 Speaker 2: they get more film on him, and in the rigors 1532 01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:59,960 Speaker 2: of a five six month NBA season start to cumulatively 1533 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:05,519 Speaker 2: effect his frame and his physique, I'm curious how he 1534 01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:10,479 Speaker 2: holds up as as the season goes on. Okay, he 1535 01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:15,040 Speaker 2: does show flashes, that's undeniable. He shows flashes on both 1536 01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:18,040 Speaker 2: ends of the floor. And I think the Spurs have 1537 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:19,920 Speaker 2: done some good work. But I think the Spurs have 1538 01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,599 Speaker 2: to do a lot more work again to get him 1539 01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:24,720 Speaker 2: to his ceiling. You don't just want him to be 1540 01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:26,720 Speaker 2: another guy on the floor. You wanted to be that 1541 01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:31,160 Speaker 2: transcendent player. Coming up, We've got a great NFL slate 1542 01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:35,640 Speaker 2: heading into Sunday, which is Sunday now, and there are 1543 01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:38,719 Speaker 2: a lot of interesting matchups.

We are less than nine hours away 1553 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:11,880 Speaker 2: for the resumption of Week eight. Some interesting matchups on 1554 01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:16,719 Speaker 2: the slate. Pats fresh off and upset, they visit Miami again, 1555 01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,439 Speaker 2: the Battle of New York Jets and Giants Bengals forty 1556 01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,719 Speaker 2: nine ers and I'm really looking forward to the Raiders 1557 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,519 Speaker 2: Lions Monday night and i will be in Detroit. That's 1558 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:30,559 Speaker 2: a side note. By the way, the Rams Cowboys features 1559 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:34,000 Speaker 2: sort of an interesting scheduling oddity. Dallas minus six and 1560 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:37,479 Speaker 2: a half. This is the Cowboys only home game in 1561 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:40,439 Speaker 2: a forty one day span. How does that happen? That's 1562 01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:44,080 Speaker 2: significant too, because the Cowboys have a ten game winning 1563 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 2: streak at home, their longest since nineteen ninety one. Ninety two, 1564 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,559 Speaker 2: and guess what they did. They went to the Super 1565 01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:54,000 Speaker 2: Bowl then, and I believe they hammered Buffalo. No, maybe 1566 01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,000 Speaker 2: that was when Washington went the Super Regardless, they were 1567 01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,479 Speaker 2: good then. All right, the Rams two and one in 1568 01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,520 Speaker 2: a year on the road. This season, they lost at Cincinnati. 1569 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,680 Speaker 2: Cowboys got them last year twenty two to ten. They 1570 01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:12,799 Speaker 2: sack saffored five times. The problem is the Cowboys passing 1571 01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:14,719 Speaker 2: attack has not been great, so they're gonna They're gonna 1572 01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,280 Speaker 2: need to establish a running game. Hard for me to 1573 01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,120 Speaker 2: picture the Rams are banged up. Hard for me to 1574 01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:23,400 Speaker 2: picture the Rams going in there getting a victory. It 1575 01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:26,320 Speaker 2: feels like a twenty seven to twenty type game. Twenty 1576 01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,200 Speaker 2: seven to seventeen. I don't like to bet on the Cowboys. 1577 01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,759 Speaker 2: I don't have any faith in them, but I feel 1578 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:35,480 Speaker 2: like the Cowboys get right here and they assert themselves. 1579 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,200 Speaker 2: Probably my favorite game of the week from a betting standpoint. 1580 01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:41,479 Speaker 2: The game opened up as a pick them. The Vikings 1581 01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:43,680 Speaker 2: are not laying a point and a half, and I 1582 01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:47,120 Speaker 2: think if the Vikings get out to an early lead, 1583 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,160 Speaker 2: well that could be that could be real problem for 1584 01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:54,719 Speaker 2: the Packers. They've been outscored in the first half sixty 1585 01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:58,240 Speaker 2: three to six in their past four games. Now, if 1586 01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:02,160 Speaker 2: Minnesota lost green Bay to hang around, which has sometimes 1587 01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:05,599 Speaker 2: been you know, Minnesota's calling card all seven of their 1588 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:09,120 Speaker 2: games even this year, yep, you guessed it decided by 1589 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:12,000 Speaker 2: one score. Well, the Packers have been decent in the 1590 01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:15,080 Speaker 2: second half, right, But you've got an X factor, and 1591 01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,880 Speaker 2: that's Jordan Love. I don't just like the guy. I 1592 01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,200 Speaker 2: just don't think he's a major league quarterback. He has 1593 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,799 Speaker 2: trouble with pressure, and the Vikings blitz fifty six percent 1594 01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:27,120 Speaker 2: of the time. So it's gonna be Jordan Love's responsibility 1595 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,240 Speaker 2: to make very quick decisions and get the ball out. 1596 01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,120 Speaker 2: And this isn't good because his QBR over the last 1597 01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 2: thirty games is like thirty point nine. I think the 1598 01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,440 Speaker 2: Vikings win this, but I don't think it's a blowout 1599 01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 2: unless there are our turnovers. Feels like a you know, 1600 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:47,000 Speaker 2: twenty four to seventeen type Vikings win. The Vikings proved 1601 01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,639 Speaker 2: they can play a good game. I just think, you know, again, 1602 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:52,400 Speaker 2: we talked about this last year with the Pythagorean theorem. 1603 01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,240 Speaker 2: Dan pointed it out. We did a Sunday show. I 1604 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:57,880 Speaker 2: think at one point what they were eleven and two, 1605 01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:00,360 Speaker 2: but you could just the eye test was talent. You 1606 01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:04,120 Speaker 2: they didn't look like two team and here's why they 1607 01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,960 Speaker 2: were allowing more points than they were scoring. And it 1608 01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 2: ended up biting them and they lost the home playoff 1609 01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:12,360 Speaker 2: game to the New York Giants. And it's continued this year. 1610 01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:17,280 Speaker 2: Their defense is maybe slightly better. What the Vikings showed 1611 01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:20,360 Speaker 2: you Monday night was their ceiling. So the question is 1612 01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:22,240 Speaker 2: if they did it once, can they do it twice? 1613 01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,719 Speaker 2: Can they do it again? Played a very good football 1614 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:26,840 Speaker 2: game Monday night. No one can take that away from them. 1615 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:30,679 Speaker 2: And again Kirk Cousins got the monkey off was back 1616 01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:35,200 Speaker 2: a little bit. You know, this prime time resume as 1617 01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,599 Speaker 2: it were. The people liked to parade out there. But 1618 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,840 Speaker 2: what they haven't told you is the week following Monday 1619 01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,959 Speaker 2: night games Kirk Cousins is five and one, so Vikings 1620 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:48,599 Speaker 2: I think win this game. Interesting matchup between the Falcons. 1621 01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,000 Speaker 2: The upstart Falcons, so I thought can win that division. 1622 01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,479 Speaker 2: They're four and three of the Titans only two and four, 1623 01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:58,719 Speaker 2: and I like Mike Vrabel, the Falcons bring to town 1624 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:02,519 Speaker 2: a very good defense. Their defense is allowed exactly one 1625 01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,160 Speaker 2: rushing touchdown this season and they're only giving up ninety 1626 01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:08,599 Speaker 2: yards a game. So regardless of who was a quarterback 1627 01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,760 Speaker 2: for the Titans, it's gonna be Derrick Henry again as 1628 01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:14,800 Speaker 2: the focal point of their offense. He's averaging They're averaging 1629 01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:16,840 Speaker 2: one hundred and ten yards a game. That may be 1630 01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,400 Speaker 2: the good news, but that's their lowest mountain five years, 1631 01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:22,559 Speaker 2: So I think for Tennessee to hang around, this feels 1632 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:25,280 Speaker 2: like a real slug fest. The total very low, thirty 1633 01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,160 Speaker 2: five and a half. Tennessee's got to get Derrick Henry 1634 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 2: involved very early. And he's got three rushing touchdowns this season, 1635 01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,720 Speaker 2: and you know he's not gonna break a long one, 1636 01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:38,599 Speaker 2: but he's had multiple rushes of north of ten yards. 1637 01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,479 Speaker 2: This feels like a tremendous slug fest. Feels like a 1638 01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:45,120 Speaker 2: nineteen to sixteen Falcons type game. We'll see what happens there. 1639 01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:49,120 Speaker 2: I'm not involved in that one. The Saints, well, look, 1640 01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:51,160 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna bash Derek Carr, but there's a reason 1641 01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:53,120 Speaker 2: he was sixty three and seventy nine as a starter. 1642 01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:55,759 Speaker 2: He had major trouble in the red zone, major trouble 1643 01:24:55,800 --> 01:25:00,599 Speaker 2: on third down, major trouble in the fourth quarter. Carried over. 1644 01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:03,880 Speaker 2: The Saints have a terrible They're scoring thirty six percent 1645 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,559 Speaker 2: of the time in the red zone. That's not good. 1646 01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 2: What might what might save the Saints here, though, it 1647 01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:12,880 Speaker 2: would not surprise me if they beat the Colts. The 1648 01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:16,519 Speaker 2: Colts have committed eight turnovers in the past two games. Now, 1649 01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:18,559 Speaker 2: in those past two games, they've put up fifty eight 1650 01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 2: points eight hundred yards. But Gardner minshew, he's been responsible 1651 01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:25,240 Speaker 2: for all of the turnovers. If the Colts can minimize 1652 01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:28,760 Speaker 2: their giveaways, well, then that production could be good. Now, 1653 01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:32,479 Speaker 2: the Saints defense is above average. That's a defense, by 1654 01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,960 Speaker 2: the way, that's already produced twelve takeaways of their own 1655 01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,720 Speaker 2: in seven games, even though they're only three and four. 1656 01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:42,000 Speaker 2: See the Derek Carr narrative. All they needed was a defense. Well, 1657 01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:44,639 Speaker 2: if you've watched the Saints, they don't pass the eye test. 1658 01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 2: The problem with this game is you don't know what 1659 01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,519 Speaker 2: you're gonna get from either side. You just don't know. 1660 01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:53,280 Speaker 2: I would not surprise me if the Colts win this 1661 01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:55,640 Speaker 2: game twenty three to seventeen. Would not surprise me. If 1662 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:57,680 Speaker 2: the Saints win this game twenty three to seventeen, I 1663 01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,639 Speaker 2: would just say this. The Colts are home. The Saints 1664 01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:03,080 Speaker 2: on paper, are the better team, but they've not played 1665 01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:07,280 Speaker 2: anywhere near to their potential a game I'm intrigued in. 1666 01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:10,120 Speaker 2: The Dolphins are two and five, and I know Bill 1667 01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:12,479 Speaker 2: Parcells said you are what your record says you are, 1668 01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:16,160 Speaker 2: but I feel like the Pats are actually better than that. 1669 01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:20,080 Speaker 2: All right. The Patch can really stop the run. They've 1670 01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:22,559 Speaker 2: allowed the fewest yards per carrying the league this season 1671 01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:27,680 Speaker 2: three point four yards of carrying. That's nothing. And the 1672 01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:32,639 Speaker 2: Dolphins have played two games without their stud rookie Devona Kane, 1673 01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:35,840 Speaker 2: but they still lead the NFL in rushing yards per game. 1674 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,360 Speaker 2: So you got the right. The immovable force against the 1675 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:41,479 Speaker 2: immovable object, whatever you call that. They averaged six point 1676 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:45,040 Speaker 2: three yards of carry. Raheem Moster did mispractice this week 1677 01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:47,599 Speaker 2: with an ankle injury, but you figure he'll be back. 1678 01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 2: And I really like what two is doing. And I 1679 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:55,720 Speaker 2: think Mike McDaniel has created a very creative offense. I mean, 1680 01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:59,120 Speaker 2: the NFL, the game of football has changed. Okay, it's 1681 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,759 Speaker 2: basketball on two if not, you put your athletes in space, 1682 01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,840 Speaker 2: get them to make plays, and Mike McDaniel does that 1683 01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,640 Speaker 2: as well as anybody. I feel like this is a 1684 01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,360 Speaker 2: little bit of a fistfight in the phone booth for 1685 01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,839 Speaker 2: a while, and then and then the Dolphins just simply 1686 01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:16,960 Speaker 2: assert their assert their offensive, you know, prowess. They've already 1687 01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,080 Speaker 2: proven against losing teams that that that's when they're at 1688 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,120 Speaker 2: their best. This year, they're five to zero against the 1689 01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,760 Speaker 2: s bread against teams losing records. I'm not giving Bill 1690 01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,600 Speaker 2: Belicheck nine points. I'd be hard pressed to see the 1691 01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:29,680 Speaker 2: Dolphins get a victory down there, or check that the 1692 01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 2: Patriots get a victory down there. But you never know. Now, 1693 01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:36,439 Speaker 2: remember before the season started and before the Derek, before 1694 01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:39,920 Speaker 2: the Aaron Rodgers injury, and people were saying something to 1695 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,599 Speaker 2: the effect, well, if the Jets can just be three 1696 01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,280 Speaker 2: and three in their first six games, because they had 1697 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,920 Speaker 2: that gauntlet, they had that Hamburger Hill schedule, come out 1698 01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:50,519 Speaker 2: of the gate. Let's be fair, it has been well. 1699 01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:54,320 Speaker 2: They are three and three. There's hope. And by the way, 1700 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:56,280 Speaker 2: it's it's a home game for both teams, and it's 1701 01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:59,400 Speaker 2: an away game for both teams, the Jets laying three. 1702 01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:01,479 Speaker 2: That's not true. It can only be an away game 1703 01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,519 Speaker 2: for the Jets because they're considered the away team. But 1704 01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:06,559 Speaker 2: they're in their home stadium. Giants thirty second in the 1705 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:10,200 Speaker 2: NFL in scoring. They're averaging a whopping twelve points per game. 1706 01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:15,920 Speaker 2: The Arizona Diamondbacks just about do that, but the Jets 1707 01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 2: haven't been much better. There's going eighteen points a game, 1708 01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 2: and I think Tarad Taylor is capable. I believe he's starting. 1709 01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 2: I think Daniel Jones is still dealing with his neck injury. 1710 01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:31,200 Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, I think is again showed flashes. There's been 1711 01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:37,160 Speaker 2: real improvement. I feel this is a Jets game. I 1712 01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:40,280 Speaker 2: feel this is a game that the Jets assert themselves. 1713 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:44,240 Speaker 2: All right. The Giants just can't score points, and this 1714 01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:48,680 Speaker 2: Jets defense is very good. I would not surprise me 1715 01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:53,479 Speaker 2: if it ends up like twenty to fourteen Jets. But 1716 01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:55,920 Speaker 2: I don't see the Jets losing this game. I think 1717 01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:59,240 Speaker 2: you're gonna see a max effort team, and I like 1718 01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:01,040 Speaker 2: Brian Dable, But I don't know what's happened to the 1719 01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:03,439 Speaker 2: Giants this year. They've lost that mojo that they had 1720 01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:05,720 Speaker 2: last year when they went to the playoffs. Maybe they're 1721 01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:09,840 Speaker 2: regressing back to the mean. An interesting game tomorrow that'll 1722 01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,800 Speaker 2: be a bit of a referenda for both teams. Jacksonville 1723 01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:17,000 Speaker 2: visits the Steelers, and the Jacks have one of the 1724 01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:20,080 Speaker 2: worst passing defenses in the NFL. They have a lot 1725 01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:24,160 Speaker 2: almost two thousand yards through the air in seven games. 1726 01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:26,760 Speaker 2: They gave up three hundred passing yards to Derek Carr 1727 01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:30,640 Speaker 2: a week ago, but the Steelers have one of the 1728 01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:35,000 Speaker 2: most sluggish passing passing offenses in the entire NFL. They've 1729 01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:37,360 Speaker 2: thrown for half that amount, maybe eleven hundred dards five 1730 01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:41,880 Speaker 2: passing touchdowns. Kenny Pickett came alive though in the fourth quarter. 1731 01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:44,679 Speaker 2: They beat the Rams seven to seven for one hundred 1732 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:48,479 Speaker 2: and thirty eight yards. Well, is that a flup? Does 1733 01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:52,559 Speaker 2: that continue? Because if Pittsburgh can throw the ball and 1734 01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:56,120 Speaker 2: they're underdogs at home, and Mike Prommlin fourteen and five 1735 01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:58,000 Speaker 2: is an underdog at home, Steelers getting two and a 1736 01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:01,640 Speaker 2: half points. I would say this is a game that 1737 01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:04,920 Speaker 2: if you're a Steelers fan, you should expect to win, 1738 01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:09,400 Speaker 2: but you might not. The Jags three and zero against 1739 01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:11,600 Speaker 2: the spread on the road this season, so it not 1740 01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:15,599 Speaker 2: surprised me if the Jags come up big on Sunday. 1741 01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:18,479 Speaker 2: But again, it's not a game I'm involved in. This 1742 01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:21,080 Speaker 2: game is intriguing to me. It's a divisional game. The 1743 01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:24,280 Speaker 2: Eagles at Commanders. The Eagles are six and one, and 1744 01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:28,200 Speaker 2: remember Washington nearly beat Philadelphia in their first meeting. They 1745 01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:32,080 Speaker 2: lost in overtime in Week four, but then Philly had 1746 01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,920 Speaker 2: some big plays four hundred and fifteen yards, but you 1747 01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,120 Speaker 2: gotta remember, like almost two hundred of those came on 1748 01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:41,840 Speaker 2: five plays, two of which were touchdowns to their receivers. 1749 01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:45,080 Speaker 2: The Commanders are a wild card team. You just don't 1750 01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:48,360 Speaker 2: know Sam how can play. But it sacrates way too high. 1751 01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:51,600 Speaker 2: Here's where I'm going with this. I got the Commanders 1752 01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:54,519 Speaker 2: plus seven. I think they're gonna hang that number. I 1753 01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:59,360 Speaker 2: can't see Philly losing, but they're expensive. You go on 1754 01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:02,960 Speaker 2: the road against the divisional opponent and you lay seven 1755 01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,080 Speaker 2: Philly coming off their Monday night game. Look, oh no, 1756 01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:09,639 Speaker 2: they didn't play money. Non excuse me. The bottom line 1757 01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:14,040 Speaker 2: is this Philly is gonna go through this year. I 1758 01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:15,960 Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna blow a lot of teams out anymore. 1759 01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:18,720 Speaker 2: You know they've got if you really, if you're being 1760 01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:22,080 Speaker 2: honest about Philadelphia. People were picking on Miami last week, 1761 01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,240 Speaker 2: but the Eagles have been far from perfect this year, 1762 01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:27,000 Speaker 2: and their biggest problem has been turnovers. They turned the 1763 01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,880 Speaker 2: ball over four times in when they lost to the 1764 01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:36,040 Speaker 2: Jets last week, and Jalen Hurts his lost fumbles, he's 1765 01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:40,519 Speaker 2: throwing interceptions. Philly's all told eleven turnovers this league. That 1766 01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:42,439 Speaker 2: puts him in top five, in the middle of the pack. 1767 01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:46,040 Speaker 2: By the way, look here's the deal. Philly last year 1768 01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:50,280 Speaker 2: had the best or checked that the second best turnover 1769 01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:53,560 Speaker 2: differential in the National Football League that got them to 1770 01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:57,000 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. They were plus eight. This year they're 1771 01:31:57,080 --> 01:32:03,759 Speaker 2: minus two and and that so that ranks eighteenth. Jalen 1772 01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:05,760 Speaker 2: Hurts he has an ability to hang on the ball 1773 01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:07,360 Speaker 2: and hang out of the ball has got to start 1774 01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:09,960 Speaker 2: to be a little bit worrisome. He's throwing eight picks 1775 01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,280 Speaker 2: this year. He's tied with Jimmy Garoppolo for the most 1776 01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:14,759 Speaker 2: of the lega. But you didn't know that. Jalen Hurts 1777 01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:17,599 Speaker 2: had only six all of last year. He's already got eight. 1778 01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:19,800 Speaker 2: We're not out of October yet. He's also got to 1779 01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:22,599 Speaker 2: cut down on his fumbles. He had nine last season. 1780 01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:26,160 Speaker 2: He's only got two this year. But that's a lot. 1781 01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,679 Speaker 2: The bottom line is the Eagles defense has been so strong, 1782 01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:32,559 Speaker 2: and their time of possession is so strong, and their 1783 01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:36,639 Speaker 2: ground game is so good. It's covered up a lot 1784 01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:39,640 Speaker 2: of things. So do I think the Commanders can win 1785 01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:43,559 Speaker 2: out right? I'm not expecting them to, but don't be 1786 01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,760 Speaker 2: surprised if they do. This is a divisional game.

All right, back 1800 01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:36,880 Speaker 2: on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio Company, live 1801 01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:40,839 Speaker 2: from the tyrec dot Com studios here in a Las Vegas. 1802 01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:45,719 Speaker 2: We continue with our NFL Week eight preview. In about 1803 01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:48,360 Speaker 2: eight hours and thirty eight minutes, the Texans will kick 1804 01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:51,679 Speaker 2: it off against the Panthers and the windless Panthers at home. 1805 01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:55,200 Speaker 2: The upstart Texans three and three with the rookie quarterback 1806 01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:57,960 Speaker 2: c J. Stroudley in three and a half points on 1807 01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,960 Speaker 2: the road. What's the line here, Well, that's simple. You've 1808 01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,840 Speaker 2: got the top two draft picks going up against each other, 1809 01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:09,479 Speaker 2: Bryce Young and CJ. Stroud Obviously, Stroud's got the upper hand. 1810 01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:12,840 Speaker 2: They're three and three, Young zoning five. He has almost 1811 01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,920 Speaker 2: double the passing yards and he has one more start. 1812 01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,960 Speaker 2: But this could be an interesting match up for Bryce 1813 01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:22,320 Speaker 2: Young because Houston's defense ranks twenty sixth against the pass. 1814 01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:26,360 Speaker 2: Here's the issue. The Texans really get after the quarterback 1815 01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:31,040 Speaker 2: and they they they're gonna sack, They're gonna sack Bryce Young. 1816 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:34,040 Speaker 2: It feels like a you know, a twenty four to 1817 01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:37,240 Speaker 2: sixteen game. The Texans probably get it done. Not a 1818 01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:39,120 Speaker 2: game I'm involved in, but it feels like they get 1819 01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:41,040 Speaker 2: it done. All right. Brown Seahawks is a game I'm 1820 01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,920 Speaker 2: very interested in. I think Deshaun wants to be back 1821 01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:46,839 Speaker 2: on the sidelines again. PJ Walker make a second start. 1822 01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:49,840 Speaker 2: Walker has three picks, zero touchdowns on a fifty percent 1823 01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:52,960 Speaker 2: completion rate. But that Cleveland defense, I thought it was 1824 01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,880 Speaker 2: really good until the coltrd all over them last week. 1825 01:34:57,160 --> 01:34:59,640 Speaker 2: This is a game I have bet. I do like 1826 01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:03,200 Speaker 2: the Seahawks the RLA and three and a half. I'm 1827 01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:04,960 Speaker 2: not concerned about them. I like what they're doing with 1828 01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:07,680 Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker. I like how this team has responded to 1829 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:11,840 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll and certainly Gino Smith. They wrote him off, 1830 01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:14,799 Speaker 2: but he ain't right back. The dude can play. Seahawks 1831 01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:16,880 Speaker 2: have covered four their past five games, or four and 1832 01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:19,719 Speaker 2: once and starting zero to one. They beat Detroit Detroit 1833 01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 2: and in overtime, So the Seahawks have a lot of weapons. 1834 01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:32,800 Speaker 2: I do like the Seahawks. Here, Chiefs at Broncos. Now 1835 01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,120 Speaker 2: the Chiefs are laying a touchdown, They're always going to 1836 01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:38,719 Speaker 2: be expensive. They're six to one, Broncos are two and five. 1837 01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:43,679 Speaker 2: And the Broncos actually got their run game going last 1838 01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:48,640 Speaker 2: week against the against the Packers, but there's no guarantee 1839 01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:53,840 Speaker 2: that that will continue. There's no guarantee that they will 1840 01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:57,880 Speaker 2: consistently be successful on the ground, and they actually don't 1841 01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:01,280 Speaker 2: even run the ball a lot. There have been games 1842 01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:05,000 Speaker 2: this year they've only run fifteen times, nineteen times, et cetera. 1843 01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:11,760 Speaker 2: It just feels like it's one of those games where 1844 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,360 Speaker 2: the Chiefs going and name their score. The Broncos it 1845 01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:17,280 Speaker 2: just isn't working. It feels like a forty two to 1846 01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:20,080 Speaker 2: twenty one type gave. Even if the Broncos can get 1847 01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:24,840 Speaker 2: twenty one points, their secondary is brutal. I'm talking about 1848 01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:28,760 Speaker 2: Denver's and you know the Holmes, and hell, if Taylor 1849 01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:30,760 Speaker 2: swifts at the game, it seems to be, you know, 1850 01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:35,439 Speaker 2: it seems to really supercharge Travis Kelsey even more so 1851 01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:38,439 Speaker 2: that might be one to miss. I'm not laying seven 1852 01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:40,920 Speaker 2: points down the road, but I'll tell you right now, 1853 01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:44,880 Speaker 2: Denver's going against the Chiefs run defense that ranks wily eighteenth. 1854 01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:46,760 Speaker 2: But Denver doesn't run the ball that well. They did 1855 01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,960 Speaker 2: last week. But you get my point. All right, Let's 1856 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:51,880 Speaker 2: move along Ravens and Cardinals. 1857 01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:52,040 Speaker 11: Now. 1858 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:55,840 Speaker 2: The Ravens are starting to find themselves. Dan Campbell had 1859 01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:57,920 Speaker 2: to eat his words last week. He said he'd rather 1860 01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:00,800 Speaker 2: keep Lamar Jackson in the he didn't want to let 1861 01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:03,720 Speaker 2: them lose. Well, Lamar Jackson improved he can operate from 1862 01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:07,320 Speaker 2: the pocket. The Ravens visit the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals 1863 01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:11,640 Speaker 2: play hard, they're just undermanned. Baltimore land nine and a 1864 01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:15,200 Speaker 2: half points on the road. By the way, the Cardinals, 1865 01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:20,320 Speaker 2: their top three running backs are either injured or they're 1866 01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:24,040 Speaker 2: non running backs. Right. Joshua Dobbs and receiver Rondell Moore 1867 01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:29,519 Speaker 2: their second and third in terms of rushing behind James Connor. 1868 01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:32,880 Speaker 2: By the way, the Ravens defense they ranked second. Their 1869 01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:35,800 Speaker 2: defense is number two in the yards alloted per game 1870 01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:40,360 Speaker 2: and first and yards alloted per play, and they've only 1871 01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:43,040 Speaker 2: given up six hundred rushing yards in seven games. So 1872 01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:47,600 Speaker 2: when you're facing a Cardinals team that's only run for 1873 01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:50,040 Speaker 2: three hundred yard yards or so this year, or check 1874 01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:54,320 Speaker 2: that a little more than that. But much less than 1875 01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:58,839 Speaker 2: what the Ravens have given up. This could be a shutout. Seriously, 1876 01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:01,360 Speaker 2: Baltimore could check them out. Might want to look to 1877 01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:03,799 Speaker 2: the under forty four and a half and it feels 1878 01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:05,920 Speaker 2: like a thirty to ten game if the Cardinals could 1879 01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 2: even get ten points. Baltimore starting to find their way, 1880 01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:13,360 Speaker 2: and the Cardinals were encouraging in terms of their effort. 1881 01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:16,160 Speaker 2: They were three and zero against the spread their first 1882 01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:20,600 Speaker 2: three games, another zero to four since the Bengals at 1883 01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:23,200 Speaker 2: forty nine ers. I think it's pretty clear now that 1884 01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:26,120 Speaker 2: the Bengals are going to start to find their way. 1885 01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:30,599 Speaker 2: It's minunderstanding brock Perty is gonna play, but you don't 1886 01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:35,280 Speaker 2: know ulatively finally suit up. Joe o'burrow is going against 1887 01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:39,320 Speaker 2: a very stingy pass defense. But they just gave up 1888 01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:42,519 Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty yards and two touchdowns to Kirk Cousins. 1889 01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:44,679 Speaker 2: I got a feeling this is a get right game 1890 01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:45,280 Speaker 2: for the Bengals. 1891 01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:45,920 Speaker 6: I just do. 1892 01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:48,719 Speaker 2: I think I would not be surprised if the Bengals 1893 01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:50,840 Speaker 2: going to win that game something like twenty seven to 1894 01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:53,519 Speaker 2: twenty three, or three and a half point underdogs or 1895 01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:56,200 Speaker 2: five and a half point underdogs. Excuse me. Now, offense 1896 01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:59,360 Speaker 2: thought I was making fun of Tyson Bagent. I wasn't. 1897 01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,360 Speaker 2: I think the kid can play a little bit. I mean, 1898 01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:04,800 Speaker 2: he's proven he gets the ball out of his hand 1899 01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:08,120 Speaker 2: pretty quickly. He's got the physical latitude, he's got the 1900 01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:12,280 Speaker 2: huddle presence. He ran that offense pretty well. You know what. 1901 01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:16,800 Speaker 2: He looked comfortable, He did not look overmatched. And now 1902 01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:18,479 Speaker 2: someone made a joke a few weeks ago, what are 1903 01:39:18,479 --> 01:39:20,480 Speaker 2: they doing with this guy? He went through two interceptions 1904 01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:23,800 Speaker 2: against Colorado's School of Mines. Well, hell, you try playing 1905 01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:26,920 Speaker 2: against Colorado School of Mines defense. The bottom line is 1906 01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:31,080 Speaker 2: Tyson Bagent, he's really studied, worked hard, He's athletic enough. 1907 01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:33,439 Speaker 2: He throws a nice ball. He told the coaching staff, 1908 01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:37,639 Speaker 2: do not dumb down the offense. All right, Having said 1909 01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:41,439 Speaker 2: all that, if the Chargers can't win this game, you 1910 01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:44,880 Speaker 2: gotta be kidding me. Chargers can't put up thirty games 1911 01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:48,040 Speaker 2: and all the Bears to twenty, you might as well 1912 01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:49,559 Speaker 2: just blow the whole thing up right now, the charge 1913 01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:53,080 Speaker 2: of so much talent, so much talent, and they just 1914 01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:54,720 Speaker 2: can't get out of their own way. They're two and four. 1915 01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:57,040 Speaker 2: I can't imagine him falling to two and five. By 1916 01:39:57,080 --> 01:40:00,240 Speaker 2: the way, the Bears through only seven and sixteen to 1917 01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:03,040 Speaker 2: spread under Matt Eberflus. That's not good. This has to 1918 01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:05,400 Speaker 2: be a Chargers get right game. Now you're gonna pay 1919 01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:08,040 Speaker 2: a premium. They're laying eight and a half nine points, 1920 01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:11,000 Speaker 2: But it's it's a good teaser game. Finally, Monday Night 1921 01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:13,320 Speaker 2: the Raiders and Lions would be fun to watch. It's 1922 01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:16,120 Speaker 2: a bit of a test for both teams. Primetime stage. 1923 01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:18,760 Speaker 2: Raiders three and four. The season could go one of 1924 01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:21,240 Speaker 2: two ways. Lions are five and two. You all saw 1925 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:24,519 Speaker 2: the blowout lost lost in Baltimore last year. I expect 1926 01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:27,719 Speaker 2: the Lions to bounce back in a big way. All right. 1927 01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:31,160 Speaker 2: The Bears, they had a rough week last week as well. 1928 01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:34,240 Speaker 2: They lost thirty to twelve to the Bears. They're saying 1929 01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:36,719 Speaker 2: Bear I met Raiders. Okay. I think they are getting 1930 01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:39,000 Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo back the Raiders. He missed last game of 1931 01:40:39,040 --> 01:40:43,120 Speaker 2: the back injury. By the way, the Lions haven't hosted 1932 01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:46,320 Speaker 2: a Monday night game since that opener Sam Donald's debut 1933 01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:49,280 Speaker 2: back in twenty eighteen. Member Donald threw a pick six 1934 01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:51,280 Speaker 2: to start the game and they went on to whip 1935 01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:54,400 Speaker 2: the Lions forty eight to seventeen. Good times. This Lions 1936 01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:57,240 Speaker 2: team does not represent that Lions team at all. I 1937 01:40:57,320 --> 01:40:59,479 Speaker 2: think the Lions pound the Raiders, I do. I think 1938 01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:02,040 Speaker 2: they beat him more than ten. And we'll see what 1939 01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:07,400 Speaker 2: happens coming up. Listen, there's been talk about whether or 1940 01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:10,120 Speaker 2: not Rob Manfred needs to revisit the end of MLB 1941 01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:14,320 Speaker 2: playoff format for various reasons. I will tell you why 1942 01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:16,880 Speaker 2: he does not need to. And now what's happening. Now 1943 01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,040 Speaker 2: He's been going on in baseball for one hundred years. 1944 01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:21,840 Speaker 2: But first let's go back to our guy, Dan Beyer 1945 01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:22,840 Speaker 2: with latest. 1946 01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:25,320 Speaker 7: In baseball is where we start, Burnie, and we start 1947 01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:29,200 Speaker 7: in Game two of the Fall Classics Saturday night in Arlington. 1948 01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:33,000 Speaker 7: After stealing Game one, the Rangers had one heck of 1949 01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,120 Speaker 7: a time dealing with that Diamondbacks offense. 1950 01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:38,679 Speaker 9: In Game two, the pinch swaging a base at left field, 1951 01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,160 Speaker 9: round third, coming to the plate, the throw will come 1952 01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:46,719 Speaker 9: into second, scoring is Longoria bought an RBI single by Carol. 1953 01:41:47,080 --> 01:41:49,080 Speaker 6: Now the Diamondbacks go on top four to one. 1954 01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:52,400 Speaker 7: They would never look back. Six different Diamondbacks knocked in 1955 01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:56,240 Speaker 7: runs in a Game two victory. Arizona tops the Rangers 1956 01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:58,760 Speaker 7: nine to one to even up the World Series at 1957 01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:02,280 Speaker 7: a game apiece. Dimond Back Radio Network with the call. 1958 01:42:02,920 --> 01:42:07,120 Speaker 7: The scene will move to Phoenix on Monday night. A 1959 01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:10,720 Speaker 7: bit of history Saturday night can tell Martea the Diamondbacks 1960 01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:14,320 Speaker 7: extending his playoff hitting streak to eighteen games. That's the 1961 01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:18,000 Speaker 7: longest in baseball history. Bernie, you were just breaking down 1962 01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:22,000 Speaker 7: some Monday night football matchups with the Raiders in Lions. 1963 01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:25,120 Speaker 7: Sunday afternoon, the Dolphins stake on the Patriots, another game 1964 01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:28,000 Speaker 7: he touched on earlier. He mostard expected to go for 1965 01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:31,559 Speaker 7: Miami despite being on the injury report for the Dolphins, 1966 01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,280 Speaker 7: and the Panthers are likely to have linebacker Brian Burns 1967 01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:37,640 Speaker 7: despite an elbow injury as they take on the Texans, 1968 01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:40,519 Speaker 7: Burns popping up on the injury report, he was listed 1969 01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:44,759 Speaker 7: as questionable. Some college football for it, Arizona tops Oregon 1970 01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:48,559 Speaker 7: State twenty seven to twenty four. Oregon State came into 1971 01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:51,200 Speaker 7: the matchup or ranked eleventh in the country number twenty three. 1972 01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:55,160 Speaker 7: UCLA took down Colorado twenty eight to sixteen. Some other 1973 01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:58,240 Speaker 7: late scores. Fresno State a winner against UNLV thirty one 1974 01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:01,639 Speaker 7: to twenty four. San Jose State blank Hawaii thirty five nothing. 1975 01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:04,560 Speaker 7: Number one Georgia had no troubles with Florida, winning in 1976 01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:06,200 Speaker 7: Jacksonville forty three to twenty. 1977 01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:07,559 Speaker 6: Third ranked to Ohio State, and they. 1978 01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:09,160 Speaker 7: Had a bit of trouble with the Badgers, but held 1979 01:43:09,200 --> 01:43:12,439 Speaker 7: on against Wisconsin twenty four to ten. And Washington ran 1980 01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:14,839 Speaker 7: fifth in the country, got all they could handle against Stanford, 1981 01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:17,640 Speaker 7: but the Huskies prevailed forty two to thirty three. It 1982 01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:20,360 Speaker 7: was earlier on Saturday that number eight Oregon roddert Utah 1983 01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:23,320 Speaker 7: thirty five to six. Kansas had the upset of the day, 1984 01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:27,800 Speaker 7: early topping Oklahoma final score thirty eight to thirty three. 1985 01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:30,240 Speaker 7: As the six thranks Sooners were dealt their first loss 1986 01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:31,760 Speaker 7: of the year. Bernie back to you. 1987 01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:34,160 Speaker 2: Thanks Dan, and if you got a second I'd like 1988 01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:35,760 Speaker 2: you to weigh in on this. But let me set 1989 01:43:35,800 --> 01:43:38,559 Speaker 2: this up because there's a lot of teeth gnashing about 1990 01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:42,120 Speaker 2: the fact that one hundred win teams, the Baltimore's, the Dodgers, 1991 01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:47,519 Speaker 2: the Braves, et cetera, went home early. Here's the deal. 1992 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:50,880 Speaker 2: In other sports, we realized staff from the past can 1993 01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:54,080 Speaker 2: predict a future. In the NBA, there have been seventy 1994 01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:58,000 Speaker 2: five champions fifty four of them had the most wins 1995 01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:01,200 Speaker 2: in the regular season at seventy two percent. Since nineteen 1996 01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:04,360 Speaker 2: ninety when the NFL playoffs expanded, fifty four percent of 1997 01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:07,680 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl winners had the most wins in the 1998 01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:12,920 Speaker 2: regular season. And then there's baseball. Baseball is different. You 1999 01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:15,320 Speaker 2: can go back to the nineteen oh six Cubs, the 2000 01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:18,080 Speaker 2: twenty oh one Marins, who won one hundred and sixteen games, 2001 01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:21,360 Speaker 2: didn't make the World Series. The nineteen fifty four Indians 2002 01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:24,479 Speaker 2: won one hundred eleven games, they didn't win the World Series. 2003 01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:27,839 Speaker 2: The twenty twenty two Dodgers won one hundred eleven games, 2004 01:44:28,120 --> 01:44:31,479 Speaker 2: didn't make the World Series. Dodgers won one hundred games 2005 01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:36,960 Speaker 2: this last year, didn't make the World Series. Baseball is different. 2006 01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:40,080 Speaker 2: It's been that way, it will always be that way, 2007 01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:44,920 Speaker 2: even since the nineteen ninety five expansion, or checked that 2008 01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:48,960 Speaker 2: when they changed the playoff format and expanded it in 2009 01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:52,920 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five. That's been twenty eight years. The team 2010 01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:56,000 Speaker 2: of the most regular season wins only won the World 2011 01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:59,120 Speaker 2: Series six times. That's twenty two percent of the time. 2012 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,439 Speaker 2: Twenty one the Braves when they won the World Series, 2013 01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:05,360 Speaker 2: they only had eighty eight wins last year, the Braves 2014 01:45:05,360 --> 01:45:07,600 Speaker 2: had one hundred and one wins and they lost to 2015 01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:10,519 Speaker 2: the Phillies in the wildcard round, who won eighty seven. 2016 01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:14,280 Speaker 2: You get the point if if you're a team that 2017 01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:17,559 Speaker 2: had the most wins on Sunday and the Manfred said, hey, 2018 01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:20,479 Speaker 2: I give you your choice. You can have four days off, 2019 01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:22,479 Speaker 2: or you can dive right in Tuesday and play a 2020 01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:24,960 Speaker 2: wildcard round. Take your chances. I think you know how 2021 01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:27,479 Speaker 2: teams would vote Dan before I go any further. I 2022 01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:29,320 Speaker 2: know Rob Manfred's going to weigh in on this, but 2023 01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,600 Speaker 2: he says he's not changing the thing, nor do I 2024 01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:35,320 Speaker 2: think he has to. That's my opinion. What's yours on 2025 01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:35,719 Speaker 2: the matter. 2026 01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:38,920 Speaker 7: Well, you mentioned nineteen ninety five, and if the playoffs 2027 01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:41,320 Speaker 7: were set up in a way that was nineteen ninety 2028 01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:43,960 Speaker 7: five this past year, you wouldn't see either of these 2029 01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:46,840 Speaker 7: teams in the playoffs. And I think that's a part 2030 01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:50,519 Speaker 7: of a problem point of where you've got teams that 2031 01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:53,120 Speaker 7: maybe weren't on the national radar. 2032 01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:54,439 Speaker 6: And maybe it's more of an argument. 2033 01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:57,640 Speaker 7: You know, baseball has become such a regional sport, and 2034 01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:01,439 Speaker 7: that's not a negative regionally, it really really plays well 2035 01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:05,120 Speaker 7: on the national scope. It's dwindled over the last thirty years. 2036 01:46:05,320 --> 01:46:07,439 Speaker 7: But I do think that there are storylines that we 2037 01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:10,559 Speaker 7: follow as a whole, and they at lot of Braves 2038 01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:13,240 Speaker 7: or one them. The Orioles were another this year, and 2039 01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:15,599 Speaker 7: I just don't know how much, aside from maybe the 2040 01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:18,720 Speaker 7: injuries that the Rangers ended up having, how much of 2041 01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:20,360 Speaker 7: a story they were, And the same thing with the 2042 01:46:20,360 --> 01:46:23,000 Speaker 7: Arizona Diamondbacks. So we get to a point of it's 2043 01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:26,120 Speaker 7: not just media markets, Bernie, it's also just the storylines 2044 01:46:26,160 --> 01:46:28,479 Speaker 7: that you follow, the names that you were familiar with 2045 01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:32,080 Speaker 7: throughout the year. Throw In Baseball plays one hundred and 2046 01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:34,559 Speaker 7: sixty two games the season compared to what they do 2047 01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:37,240 Speaker 7: in the NFL, and you're having three game series here 2048 01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:40,040 Speaker 7: and a five game series there. Makes it very very 2049 01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:44,479 Speaker 7: difficult to really pass those better teams through, especially now 2050 01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:46,040 Speaker 7: with an expanded playoff format. 2051 01:46:46,439 --> 01:46:49,240 Speaker 2: So this year, the Astros were the only buy team 2052 01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:51,240 Speaker 2: to win their opener, but then they lost Game two 2053 01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:54,320 Speaker 2: to the Twins, and the Braves, well, they got shot 2054 01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:57,640 Speaker 2: out in Game one, or their first game after not 2055 01:46:57,720 --> 01:47:00,280 Speaker 2: being shot out all year, but then they scored eight 2056 01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:04,320 Speaker 2: runs in Game two, but they gave up eleven runs 2057 01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:06,640 Speaker 2: in Game two. So here's where I'm going with this. 2058 01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:08,280 Speaker 2: And by the way, you're not gonna believe this, Dan. 2059 01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,120 Speaker 2: There are two ideas that are being banned about. I 2060 01:47:11,120 --> 01:47:13,559 Speaker 2: don't think either one will pass. One is what's called 2061 01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:17,880 Speaker 2: the John Smoltz idea, and that is, when game three 2062 01:47:18,280 --> 01:47:21,120 Speaker 2: ends in the wildcard round, you play the next day 2063 01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:23,519 Speaker 2: and there is no rest for the wildcard team. You 2064 01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:25,559 Speaker 2: gotta play the next day. The other one, and this one, 2065 01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:29,599 Speaker 2: I think is silly. There's talk about copying the Corean 2066 01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:34,439 Speaker 2: KBO model where if you have if you have a 2067 01:47:34,600 --> 01:47:38,040 Speaker 2: buy and you're the best team with the best record, 2068 01:47:38,360 --> 01:47:40,320 Speaker 2: when you advance to the division series, you have an 2069 01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:42,599 Speaker 2: immediate one to zero advantage. You're giving a free win, 2070 01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:45,639 Speaker 2: so you've only got to win two games instead of three. 2071 01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:49,080 Speaker 2: Could you imagine baseball adopting either of those ideas, Dan. 2072 01:47:49,120 --> 01:47:52,720 Speaker 7: I'll tell you what. The Korean Baseball one isn't as 2073 01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:55,320 Speaker 7: far off. We've seen even golf adopt this with the 2074 01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:58,760 Speaker 7: Tour Championship and allowing your top players to have a 2075 01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:02,040 Speaker 7: stroke advantage or if you stroke advantage over other players 2076 01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:04,160 Speaker 7: in that final event of the year to make those 2077 01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:07,639 Speaker 7: playoffs leading in and where you are actually mean something. 2078 01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:11,559 Speaker 7: So to that point, I wouldn't be opposed to something 2079 01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:15,440 Speaker 7: like that. It's not a matter of making it easier 2080 01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:18,320 Speaker 7: for your top teams to get there, Bernie, it's just 2081 01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:21,880 Speaker 7: more of the way of how do you figure out 2082 01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:24,479 Speaker 7: a way where there is just it's so difficult to 2083 01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:27,120 Speaker 7: take a sample size to really determine who is a 2084 01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:30,320 Speaker 7: better team. How do you make it so that better 2085 01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:33,600 Speaker 7: team isn't put at such a disadvantage. I don't know 2086 01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:36,439 Speaker 7: if rest was the bigger deal, that was the Smoltz one. 2087 01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:38,680 Speaker 7: I still think that you would play and hot. These 2088 01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:41,400 Speaker 7: teams play six some weeks. They play seven games a week, 2089 01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:43,640 Speaker 7: so having a game the next day wouldn't be that 2090 01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:47,800 Speaker 7: much of an issue. Maybe, Bernie, as well, as this 2091 01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:50,599 Speaker 7: just pops into my head, we're talking about a time 2092 01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:54,479 Speaker 7: where starting pitching maybe isn't as necessary as it was, 2093 01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:57,519 Speaker 7: So throwing off your rotation isn't that big of an 2094 01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:01,680 Speaker 7: advantage with some of these matchups. Maybe thirty years ago 2095 01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:04,479 Speaker 7: it would have been where you have your one, two, three, four, 2096 01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:07,640 Speaker 7: and five and you can only throw your you know 2097 01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:10,800 Speaker 7: one a certain day. Nowadays, we've seen bullpend games in 2098 01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:13,880 Speaker 7: the playoffs. That's nothing new. Maybe those aren't as much 2099 01:49:13,920 --> 01:49:15,559 Speaker 7: of a disadvantage as we think that they. 2100 01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:19,760 Speaker 2: Are all fair points. I think my final summation is 2101 01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:23,639 Speaker 2: that if in fact, the theory is for the reason 2102 01:49:24,040 --> 01:49:27,200 Speaker 2: this first two years of the expanded playoff and the 2103 01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:30,880 Speaker 2: way they've you know, recalibrated the wildcard, you had twenty 2104 01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:34,040 Speaker 2: twenty two you had three teams win one hundred games, 2105 01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:36,519 Speaker 2: two teams winning the ninety games, and the two teams 2106 01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:39,799 Speaker 2: that one under ninety games got to the Championship Series. 2107 01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:44,120 Speaker 2: This year again you've got Arizona and Texas, both wildcard teams. 2108 01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:49,160 Speaker 2: My contention is, irrespective of the format or the wildcard 2109 01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:53,040 Speaker 2: round or the series number of games, it's been this 2110 01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:56,400 Speaker 2: way for one hundred years. There's just no guarantee that 2111 01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:59,160 Speaker 2: if you have a big time regular season and win 2112 01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:01,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and eleven that you just have an automatic 2113 01:50:01,880 --> 01:50:05,000 Speaker 2: path to the World Series. The postseason is just simply 2114 01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:06,559 Speaker 2: a different animal. Dan you get the last. 2115 01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:07,920 Speaker 7: Word, you would almost think that there would be a 2116 01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:11,000 Speaker 7: safety net because there would be more teams maybe having 2117 01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:15,240 Speaker 7: that ability to get in under this this circumstance. 2118 01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:18,040 Speaker 6: But when you expand it to four, five, and. 2119 01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:21,080 Speaker 7: Now six teams in each league, you're gonna have the 2120 01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:23,479 Speaker 7: opportunity right to have the five or six make it. 2121 01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:25,559 Speaker 7: And in the past it was it was just two 2122 01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:27,640 Speaker 7: at one point, then it became four, and then it 2123 01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:31,000 Speaker 7: you know, now we're getting down and further and further. 2124 01:50:31,080 --> 01:50:33,240 Speaker 7: And I think you're right with Manfred what you start 2125 01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:36,120 Speaker 7: off the top. Things aren't going to change, But I 2126 01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:38,880 Speaker 7: do think that something needs to be done because I 2127 01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:40,560 Speaker 7: don't think it's great for baseball. 2128 01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:42,880 Speaker 2: Fair enough, Patrick, did you want to weigh in on this? 2129 01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:47,000 Speaker 12: You know, Bernie, I'll say this about the just keeping 2130 01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:50,759 Speaker 12: it how it is right now. I think the mantra 2131 01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:54,840 Speaker 12: of new or was it a new expansion or the 2132 01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:59,120 Speaker 12: playoff expansion brings new opportunity for some of these you know, 2133 01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:01,680 Speaker 12: lower two year guys such as like the Rangers and 2134 01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:04,080 Speaker 12: the Diamondbacks. You know, if it was back to the 2135 01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:06,040 Speaker 12: old school way that they wouldn't have even made it 2136 01:51:06,040 --> 01:51:09,040 Speaker 12: this year. And you know, me being a Dodger fan, 2137 01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:11,960 Speaker 12: of course, you know, like I would like the opportunity 2138 01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:15,160 Speaker 12: for the teams that are in the hundred wins to 2139 01:51:15,320 --> 01:51:17,679 Speaker 12: you know, be in that category to win a World 2140 01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:21,280 Speaker 12: Series without these upset specials happening, but from a team 2141 01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:23,800 Speaker 12: that you know, maybe a little more small market and 2142 01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:27,200 Speaker 12: you know, just grasping barely making a wildcard and like, 2143 01:51:27,680 --> 01:51:31,320 Speaker 12: you know, just being the quote unquote Cinderella Darling to 2144 01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:35,200 Speaker 12: you know, go be a potential World Series champion. It's 2145 01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:38,519 Speaker 12: just it brings about like just more you know, newer 2146 01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:41,080 Speaker 12: stories that baseball. You know, it's not like, oh, the 2147 01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:43,559 Speaker 12: Yankees won the World Series the Red Sox like all 2148 01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:46,080 Speaker 12: of a sudden, like oh, the Diamondbacks got a championship, 2149 01:51:46,240 --> 01:51:49,000 Speaker 12: the Rangers got a championship. Wow, like breaking kind of 2150 01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:52,519 Speaker 12: the monotony of the norm of baseball, and it brings 2151 01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:54,040 Speaker 12: a lot more of a unique flare to. 2152 01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:55,960 Speaker 7: It, right, Berty, can I add two quick things to 2153 01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:58,800 Speaker 7: what Patrick said? Number one, his point is is very good, 2154 01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:01,799 Speaker 7: Like the Braves, how they became a story. They probably 2155 01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:04,160 Speaker 7: became a story because they wanted two years ago, and 2156 01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:06,160 Speaker 7: then you know, not only just for what the record 2157 01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:08,280 Speaker 7: did this year. Is now they become a bit of 2158 01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:10,360 Speaker 7: a story. But you want to talk about a format? 2159 01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:13,280 Speaker 7: What popped into my head? Could you do a ladder format? 2160 01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:16,280 Speaker 7: Five takes on six. Loser of that game goes on 2161 01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:18,639 Speaker 7: to play four, you know, or winner of that game 2162 01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:21,040 Speaker 7: goes on to play the four seed winner of that game. 2163 01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:24,160 Speaker 6: Now you start your bracket that way, have those lower. 2164 01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:27,200 Speaker 7: Teams knock each other out, so your top teams actually 2165 01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:29,800 Speaker 7: have some sort of value, and instead of having two 2166 01:52:29,840 --> 01:52:32,719 Speaker 7: teams advancing and moving on through the bracket, you would 2167 01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:34,120 Speaker 7: only have one through each league. 2168 01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:35,639 Speaker 6: That could be a possibility as well. 2169 01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:37,960 Speaker 2: Well. That could work very well. Does that address the 2170 01:52:40,240 --> 01:52:43,320 Speaker 2: sticking point that some folks have visa VI the rest, 2171 01:52:43,479 --> 01:52:44,920 Speaker 2: the four to five day rest. 2172 01:52:45,080 --> 01:52:47,400 Speaker 7: It wouldn't, but I think that you would have less 2173 01:52:47,400 --> 01:52:51,600 Speaker 7: of an opportunity to have with you know, what we 2174 01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:55,839 Speaker 7: had in the National League with the you know, Phillies 2175 01:52:55,840 --> 01:52:58,640 Speaker 7: and Diamondbacks ending up making it there and having your 2176 01:52:58,640 --> 01:53:00,800 Speaker 7: top two seeds knocked out. There would only be one 2177 01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:02,439 Speaker 7: team that would actually be able to do that. 2178 01:53:02,640 --> 01:53:05,280 Speaker 2: So, just for giggles, I'm going to ask you whimsical question. 2179 01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:07,760 Speaker 2: It's a good thoughtful discussion. Dan, you're the manager of 2180 01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:10,760 Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Brewers. You've had an outstanding year, you won 2181 01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,680 Speaker 2: one hundred and three games, You're looking like you're in 2182 01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:17,040 Speaker 2: position to win your first World Series in many years, 2183 01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:19,000 Speaker 2: and then commissioner says, damn, we're going to give you 2184 01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:21,920 Speaker 2: your choice. Your last game was Sunday, you won't play 2185 01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:24,760 Speaker 2: again till Friday, or if you'd like to play the 2186 01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:27,759 Speaker 2: wild card round to stay sharp, We'll give you that choice. 2187 01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:28,720 Speaker 2: Which would you vote for? 2188 01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:30,080 Speaker 6: I take the rest? 2189 01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:32,320 Speaker 2: Yes, oh, yes see, and yeah, didn'd mean to be 2190 01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:37,360 Speaker 2: a jerk, but that's where this whole conundrum begins and ends. 2191 01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:41,280 Speaker 2: They're trying to imply that there is an exus, there 2192 01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:44,559 Speaker 2: is a correlation between teams that had the most rest 2193 01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:49,520 Speaker 2: and teams who fall short of expectations. When my rejoinder 2194 01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:51,720 Speaker 2: to that is, man, this has been going on since 2195 01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:54,840 Speaker 2: the nineteen oh six Cubs. I don't know the best team. 2196 01:53:54,960 --> 01:53:56,280 Speaker 6: Go ahead, No, I was just going to say. 2197 01:53:56,280 --> 01:53:57,400 Speaker 7: The one thing that I would say is why I 2198 01:53:57,400 --> 01:53:59,360 Speaker 7: would also take that is it's one less hurdle to 2199 01:53:59,439 --> 01:54:01,760 Speaker 7: jump I wouldn't have to beat a team. At least 2200 01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:04,880 Speaker 7: I would advance to the next round, which is later 2201 01:54:04,960 --> 01:54:05,479 Speaker 7: in the week. 2202 01:54:05,960 --> 01:54:09,679 Speaker 6: So that's why I would also sa. No, that's fair, 2203 01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:10,439 Speaker 6: that's fair. 2204 01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:12,559 Speaker 2: I almost thought you were gonna say one less bill 2205 01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:14,599 Speaker 2: to answer, but we were gonna talk about Marilyn McCoo 2206 01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:16,640 Speaker 2: and Billy Davis Junior later. I hope you can enter 2207 01:54:16,720 --> 01:54:19,439 Speaker 2: un for that good stuff. Man, appreciate you man, very 2208 01:54:19,439 --> 01:54:24,120 Speaker 2: good stuff. Tonight coming up. Don't tell this guy you're 2209 01:54:24,160 --> 01:54:27,000 Speaker 2: gonna show him the door. He always said, well, when 2210 01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:30,320 Speaker 2: it comes to the media, you can't save me if 2211 01:54:30,360 --> 01:54:34,160 Speaker 2: I'm losing, and you can't touch me if I'm winning. Well, 2212 01:54:34,440 --> 01:54:36,920 Speaker 2: he might have got the last laugh. I'll share with 2213 01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:39,520 Speaker 2: you what happened last week when we were all sleeping 2214 01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:41,560 Speaker 2: Sunday morning. I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're company to live from 2215 01:54:41,640 --> 01:54:44,680 Speaker 2: Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, Tireract dot Com studios, Keep 2216 01:54:44,720 --> 01:54:46,800 Speaker 2: it lock listening to the Bernie Fradle Show on Fox 2217 01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:56,800 Speaker 2: Sports Radio. I were back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, 2218 01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:59,680 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Company Live from the Taract dot Com 2219 01:54:59,680 --> 01:55:03,640 Speaker 2: student here in a Las Vegas coming up top of 2220 01:55:03,680 --> 01:55:06,320 Speaker 2: the hour, fresh new editions of what kind of brand 2221 01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:11,240 Speaker 2: new fool of you? Followed by what my name? Well, 2222 01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:15,080 Speaker 2: last Sunday, a couple of things happened. The New England 2223 01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:18,840 Speaker 2: Patriots won to run their record to two and five, 2224 01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:22,800 Speaker 2: and it happened to be the three hundredth career victory 2225 01:55:22,840 --> 01:55:30,160 Speaker 2: for one Bill Belichick. He now only trails George Hallis 2226 01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:33,760 Speaker 2: by eighteen and Don Chule, the all time leader by 2227 01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:37,520 Speaker 2: twenty eight now I know Belichick's been under a lot 2228 01:55:37,520 --> 01:55:39,960 Speaker 2: of heat. I'm not one of the people that's been 2229 01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:42,080 Speaker 2: giving him heat. I don't think he forgot how to coach. 2230 01:55:42,520 --> 01:55:45,840 Speaker 2: They may have personnel issues. I get that. Not a 2231 01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:47,520 Speaker 2: lot of talent there. I don't know what's going on. 2232 01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:50,200 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I don't think you forgot how to coach. Remember, 2233 01:55:50,240 --> 01:55:54,360 Speaker 2: this is a guy Bill Parcells never won a Super 2234 01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:58,520 Speaker 2: Bowl without Bill Belichick by his side, and so the 2235 01:55:58,560 --> 01:56:03,240 Speaker 2: defenses he's brought over the years, combining with Tom Brady, 2236 01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:06,160 Speaker 2: the greatest quarterback resume of all time. And I remember 2237 01:56:06,600 --> 01:56:09,520 Speaker 2: Tom at Michigan when I was at WTK and Ann Arbor. 2238 01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:12,200 Speaker 2: These are special people. But Belichick had a lot to 2239 01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:15,080 Speaker 2: do with it as well. All Right, Frankly, they're hovering 2240 01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:18,120 Speaker 2: around five hundred since Brady was gone. Surprised they're that good. 2241 01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:22,960 Speaker 2: But let me not bury the lead, because we learned 2242 01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:26,160 Speaker 2: Sunday that not only will Bill Belichick not be on 2243 01:56:26,200 --> 01:56:29,240 Speaker 2: the hot seat this year, he signed a lucrative multi 2244 01:56:29,320 --> 01:56:34,880 Speaker 2: year deal with the Patriots last offseason. Wow. That's kind 2245 01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:37,680 Speaker 2: of badass, that's kind of gangster, the way that Patriots 2246 01:56:37,720 --> 01:56:39,800 Speaker 2: handle their business. I just get a kick out of that, 2247 01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:44,320 Speaker 2: and I realize twenty twenty three is shaping up to 2248 01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:48,200 Speaker 2: not be a good year. But this contract extension has 2249 01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:50,320 Speaker 2: to be one of the most closely held secrets in 2250 01:56:50,320 --> 01:56:54,200 Speaker 2: the NFL that I can remember, and I don't know 2251 01:56:54,320 --> 01:56:55,960 Speaker 2: any of the details of it. I don't know the 2252 01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:58,400 Speaker 2: details of the last contract, the lengthy amount of money. 2253 01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:01,960 Speaker 2: One thing is clear though, that Robert Kraft and the 2254 01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:05,280 Speaker 2: Pats organization, they envisioned that Bill Belichick, who maybe seventy 2255 01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:08,160 Speaker 2: one years old, he's at least part of their immediate 2256 01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:11,280 Speaker 2: future and possibly still their long term future. Because I 2257 01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:16,000 Speaker 2: think the extension or check that the decision to extend 2258 01:57:16,360 --> 01:57:18,840 Speaker 2: Belichick Belichick as their head coach or maybe they need 2259 01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:21,560 Speaker 2: to add a new GM. It might come as a 2260 01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:25,040 Speaker 2: surprise to some people because of the season. And obviously 2261 01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:27,760 Speaker 2: we keep hearing that Bill O'Brien, who's not exactly lighted 2262 01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:32,280 Speaker 2: up as ELC and Jared Mayo, they're on the coaching 2263 01:57:32,320 --> 01:57:36,040 Speaker 2: staff and according to the group think echo chamber, they 2264 01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:40,960 Speaker 2: are the potential successors. Right, be careful what you wish for. 2265 01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:44,320 Speaker 2: I don't really know that you want to follow a legend. 2266 01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:47,480 Speaker 2: I don't know that Bill Belichick is done. If they 2267 01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:51,080 Speaker 2: can get some weapons. It feels like, for whatever reason, 2268 01:57:52,240 --> 01:57:55,600 Speaker 2: the Pats seem to lack their ability to find explosive players. 2269 01:57:56,040 --> 01:57:59,840 Speaker 2: There's still assignment sound on defense. Their defense is good, 2270 01:58:00,280 --> 01:58:03,440 Speaker 2: it's better than average, and this is where they start 2271 01:58:03,480 --> 01:58:07,000 Speaker 2: to get better usually after the four or five weeks, 2272 01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:10,320 Speaker 2: even during the even during the Brady years. Right, But 2273 01:58:10,920 --> 01:58:12,880 Speaker 2: I would think at the very least, you want to 2274 01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:18,120 Speaker 2: keep Belichick around to pass George Hallis. I'm told he 2275 01:58:18,200 --> 01:58:22,160 Speaker 2: wants to pass Don Shula. That's twenty eight more victories. Now, 2276 01:58:22,240 --> 01:58:24,920 Speaker 2: let me take three more seasons. You got to finish 2277 01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:27,320 Speaker 2: up this season. Let's say best case scenario, they're two 2278 01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:30,720 Speaker 2: and seven. Let's say somehow they can go seven and 2279 01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:34,320 Speaker 2: three down the stretch. He'll still need twenty one victories. 2280 01:58:34,520 --> 01:58:36,840 Speaker 2: It's gonna take him two to three years to pass 2281 01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:39,320 Speaker 2: Don Shula. But I think you keep them around to 2282 01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:42,520 Speaker 2: do it. Just my opinion. I don't think coaches grow 2283 01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:46,160 Speaker 2: on trees, and most of them struggle. Enter your own 2284 01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:49,880 Speaker 2: Brandon Staley joke.

And sometimes they are just you know, 2305 01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:59,440 Speaker 2: silly and innocuous but not very smart, sometimes very dangerous. 2306 01:59:59,480 --> 02:00:02,760 Speaker 2: Sometimes they are illegal, but any way is sliced at 2307 02:00:02,840 --> 02:00:07,120 Speaker 2: these goofy activities, these behaviors, these events that take place, 2308 02:00:07,920 --> 02:00:10,600 Speaker 2: but real people they leave you scratching your head and 2309 02:00:10,640 --> 02:00:20,080 Speaker 2: asking yourself, what kind of brand new fool are you? So? 2310 02:00:20,560 --> 02:00:22,560 Speaker 1: What kind of brand new fool are you? 2311 02:00:23,760 --> 02:00:23,880 Speaker 10: So? 2312 02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:27,760 Speaker 2: This one is somewhere in the middle. I guess it 2313 02:00:27,880 --> 02:00:31,480 Speaker 2: speaks to human nature. Don't do as I say, do 2314 02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:33,240 Speaker 2: as I do, or don't don't do as I do, 2315 02:00:33,240 --> 02:00:35,960 Speaker 2: do as I say. You see a gentleman, just just 2316 02:00:36,120 --> 02:00:40,160 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, last week, just before noon, 2317 02:00:41,200 --> 02:00:48,880 Speaker 2: was driving in Sacramento, the capital of California, and all 2318 02:00:48,920 --> 02:00:53,080 Speaker 2: of a sudden, this gentleman was stopped by the San 2319 02:00:53,160 --> 02:00:57,280 Speaker 2: Joaquin County Sheriff's Office driving in the area of Highway 2320 02:00:57,400 --> 02:01:02,360 Speaker 2: ninety nine and Highway four, and the Highway Patrol was 2321 02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:05,640 Speaker 2: called to the scene and they ended up making an arrest. 2322 02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:10,760 Speaker 2: And this, well, this gentleman was driving under the influence. 2323 02:01:11,400 --> 02:01:16,160 Speaker 2: That's called a dui. But here is where the story 2324 02:01:16,280 --> 02:01:20,080 Speaker 2: takes an interesting twist. And after he was booked into 2325 02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:26,160 Speaker 2: San Joaquin County Jail, his employer put him on administrative 2326 02:01:26,240 --> 02:01:30,920 Speaker 2: leave and they began to investigate why because this wasn't 2327 02:01:30,960 --> 02:01:35,000 Speaker 2: any individual, regular citizen who was arrested. Who's a guy 2328 02:01:35,040 --> 02:01:38,520 Speaker 2: by the name of Ray Ray Barantes booked into San 2329 02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:43,120 Speaker 2: Joaquin Jail in French camp. According to West Sacramento Police, well, 2330 02:01:43,160 --> 02:01:46,440 Speaker 2: he's going to be placed on administrative leave and an 2331 02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:50,440 Speaker 2: internal affairs investigation gets underway. Why because he's a police 2332 02:01:50,480 --> 02:01:54,600 Speaker 2: officer and he had just won an award recently for 2333 02:01:54,800 --> 02:01:59,440 Speaker 2: his stellar service and arresting people for DUI, which is 2334 02:01:59,440 --> 02:02:02,320 Speaker 2: a very serioes issue in our country. Of course, Police 2335 02:02:02,400 --> 02:02:06,440 Speaker 2: Chief Robert Strange said, this conduct is not in alignment 2336 02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:10,240 Speaker 2: with our department's core values. This officer's falling short. We 2337 02:02:10,280 --> 02:02:12,960 Speaker 2: will as a department continue to work towards our mission 2338 02:02:12,960 --> 02:02:16,360 Speaker 2: to serve with honored professionalism in partnership with our community 2339 02:02:16,640 --> 02:02:19,880 Speaker 2: to enhance the quality of life in Sacramento. So here's 2340 02:02:19,920 --> 02:02:25,720 Speaker 2: a guy, a decorated officer who won awards for arresting 2341 02:02:25,760 --> 02:02:29,960 Speaker 2: people for DUI, only to get a DUI of his own. 2342 02:02:30,240 --> 02:02:33,800 Speaker 2: Mister Ray, what kind of brand new fool? Do you? 2343 02:02:33,880 --> 02:02:34,000 Speaker 10: All? 2344 02:02:34,120 --> 02:02:35,440 Speaker 2: Right? Patrick? You know what to do? 2345 02:02:36,200 --> 02:02:36,480 Speaker 12: I do? 2346 02:02:36,640 --> 02:02:37,640 Speaker 6: I do, Bernie. 2347 02:02:37,680 --> 02:02:42,680 Speaker 12: And where we're going for this one is actually Renton, Washington, 2348 02:02:42,840 --> 02:02:45,160 Speaker 12: not too far from the Seattle one. 2349 02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:47,160 Speaker 2: I know where that is actually not too far from Bellevue. 2350 02:02:47,440 --> 02:02:51,040 Speaker 6: Awesome, awesome. Oh yeah, well we're going to Washington people. 2351 02:02:51,080 --> 02:02:54,320 Speaker 12: And in fact it's actually taking place on Interstate four 2352 02:02:54,760 --> 02:03:01,240 Speaker 12: five in Renton's where a Washington State trooper stopped and 2353 02:03:01,320 --> 02:03:04,200 Speaker 12: had to stop a driver. Now, a driver was pulled 2354 02:03:04,200 --> 02:03:08,600 Speaker 12: over in the high occupancy lanes on that highway and 2355 02:03:08,880 --> 02:03:13,160 Speaker 12: for good reason. Trooper Rick Johnson, who is a public 2356 02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:17,600 Speaker 12: information officer for that district, said, pulled over the driver 2357 02:03:17,760 --> 02:03:20,839 Speaker 12: in the HOV lane on the interstate when he noticed 2358 02:03:21,240 --> 02:03:25,520 Speaker 12: something unusual in the passenger seat. When he went to 2359 02:03:25,560 --> 02:03:31,320 Speaker 12: go investigate, he noticed that, you know, the passenger next 2360 02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:33,920 Speaker 12: to the driver was not a real person, not even 2361 02:03:33,920 --> 02:03:39,240 Speaker 12: a real passenger, but a creepy Halloween dummy of a 2362 02:03:39,280 --> 02:03:43,040 Speaker 12: real life clown. So little a little dummy. So we're 2363 02:03:43,080 --> 02:03:46,320 Speaker 12: going with the Halloween type of a what kind of 2364 02:03:46,320 --> 02:03:49,720 Speaker 12: fool are you? The man had had a little fake 2365 02:03:50,240 --> 02:03:53,560 Speaker 12: creepy clown as his little, you know passenger, thinking he 2366 02:03:53,600 --> 02:03:54,879 Speaker 12: could get away with having. 2367 02:03:54,760 --> 02:03:55,920 Speaker 6: Someone in a carpool lane. 2368 02:03:56,280 --> 02:03:59,680 Speaker 12: So Officer Johnson actually went on to say, I love 2369 02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:02,880 Speaker 12: the Halloween vibe, but it still doesn't count. In fact, 2370 02:04:03,280 --> 02:04:07,880 Speaker 12: the mister Johnson actually said the employing that dummy actually 2371 02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:12,200 Speaker 12: added an extra additional fine for his uh, you know infraction. 2372 02:04:12,440 --> 02:04:14,320 Speaker 12: So not only is he getting a ticket for getting 2373 02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:17,360 Speaker 12: pulled over on just for unusualness, but the fact that 2374 02:04:17,360 --> 02:04:19,640 Speaker 12: they went through the trouble to put a clown in there. 2375 02:04:19,960 --> 02:04:22,240 Speaker 6: Uh, you're doing double now, that's with interest. 2376 02:04:22,320 --> 02:04:25,640 Speaker 12: So random man that put the uh put the scary 2377 02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:29,440 Speaker 12: clown guy in the badger's what kind of full are you? 2378 02:04:29,640 --> 02:04:35,040 Speaker 2: Sir? And of course HOV stands for high Occupancy Vehicle lane, 2379 02:04:35,600 --> 02:04:38,520 Speaker 2: and I guess he was a hot occupancy vehicle but 2380 02:04:39,240 --> 02:04:41,600 Speaker 2: not all humans, right. You know what when they first 2381 02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:43,960 Speaker 2: came out with the Diamond Lane in California, so it's 2382 02:04:43,960 --> 02:04:46,520 Speaker 2: it's still called the Diamond laneers it is, it's something different. 2383 02:04:46,280 --> 02:04:48,040 Speaker 6: Now, it's like the diamond Lane like in Cow. 2384 02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:50,080 Speaker 12: We usually kind of just refer to it as the 2385 02:04:50,120 --> 02:04:52,960 Speaker 12: carpool lane, okay, okay, and for multiple people. 2386 02:04:52,680 --> 02:04:54,120 Speaker 2: Well, I remember it was in the eighties. I mean 2387 02:04:54,280 --> 02:04:57,000 Speaker 2: people were doing that. People would put you know, if 2388 02:04:57,040 --> 02:04:59,760 Speaker 2: they'd prop a head up and you they get got 2389 02:04:59,760 --> 02:05:01,320 Speaker 2: away with it. Then they started getting caught and I 2390 02:05:01,400 --> 02:05:05,560 Speaker 2: understand that the fines were pretty substantial. So yeah, I 2391 02:05:06,120 --> 02:05:08,200 Speaker 2: kind of heard that, but you know it never never see. 2392 02:05:08,440 --> 02:05:11,000 Speaker 2: This guy was actually dressed up like Halloween too as well, 2393 02:05:11,040 --> 02:05:15,160 Speaker 2: So that adds to the lore of of course, another 2394 02:05:15,320 --> 02:05:19,040 Speaker 2: rousing edition of what kind of brand new fool are 2395 02:05:19,080 --> 02:05:22,400 Speaker 2: You is now in the books, which allows us to 2396 02:05:22,400 --> 02:05:26,720 Speaker 2: segue to our second favorite bit that we lovingly refer 2397 02:05:26,840 --> 02:05:32,200 Speaker 2: to as what my Name?

That puts us in mid November. 2749 02:24:11,840 --> 02:24:15,400 Speaker 2: Nothing's going to happen until February. Now, Tony Battiti, the 2750 02:24:15,440 --> 02:24:17,840 Speaker 2: new commissioner of the Big Ten. They have the full 2751 02:24:17,879 --> 02:24:20,879 Speaker 2: autonomy and authority to do whatever they want whenever they want. 2752 02:24:21,040 --> 02:24:23,240 Speaker 2: But I'm told they're not going to move so quickly. 2753 02:24:23,800 --> 02:24:26,680 Speaker 2: So there could be a negotiated resolution, there could be 2754 02:24:26,720 --> 02:24:30,200 Speaker 2: a summary disposition, there could be a formal hearing, or 2755 02:24:30,200 --> 02:24:33,120 Speaker 2: there could be, you know, something more along the lines 2756 02:24:33,120 --> 02:24:36,240 Speaker 2: where the punishment stoleed out. Michigan accepts it, and they 2757 02:24:36,240 --> 02:24:40,520 Speaker 2: go from there. So you know my position on this 2758 02:24:40,720 --> 02:24:43,000 Speaker 2: and what my thoughts were, and I want to wait 2759 02:24:43,040 --> 02:24:44,920 Speaker 2: for all the facts to come in. They've broken a rule. 2760 02:24:45,400 --> 02:24:47,080 Speaker 2: They've broken a rule who's been on the book since 2761 02:24:47,160 --> 02:24:52,279 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety four design to create fairness across the board 2762 02:24:52,520 --> 02:24:54,760 Speaker 2: because even though schools like Michigan and some of the 2763 02:24:54,800 --> 02:24:57,480 Speaker 2: major Power five schools and Group of five schools can 2764 02:24:57,520 --> 02:25:00,080 Speaker 2: afford to maybe send someone around the country pay for 2765 02:25:00,160 --> 02:25:02,760 Speaker 2: the travel, et cetera, not everybody can. And that's why 2766 02:25:02,800 --> 02:25:04,920 Speaker 2: the rule was instituted. 2767 02:25:05,320 --> 02:25:06,760 Speaker 7: Dan, have you had a chance to win on this 2768 02:25:06,840 --> 02:25:10,520 Speaker 7: yet not give my full opinions on it. Maybe a 2769 02:25:10,560 --> 02:25:13,959 Speaker 7: little biased, but that's also a reason why I'd really. 2770 02:25:13,800 --> 02:25:15,440 Speaker 2: Like but you know what, I really like to hear 2771 02:25:15,480 --> 02:25:18,040 Speaker 2: it because I'm gonna tell you why. Because this is 2772 02:25:18,120 --> 02:25:22,320 Speaker 2: not this is not a subject matter. I think anybody 2773 02:25:22,400 --> 02:25:25,680 Speaker 2: can be objective on People are going to be subjective, 2774 02:25:25,720 --> 02:25:28,400 Speaker 2: and I understand that Jim Harrimall is not necessarily a 2775 02:25:28,400 --> 02:25:30,800 Speaker 2: popular guy and on the wake of things that have 2776 02:25:30,879 --> 02:25:34,800 Speaker 2: happened in recent years, Look, I get it, so please, 2777 02:25:34,879 --> 02:25:36,720 Speaker 2: and being a Wisconsin guy, I love to hear what 2778 02:25:36,720 --> 02:25:37,160 Speaker 2: you got to say. 2779 02:25:37,240 --> 02:25:41,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, in a lifelong Ohio State fan. Doesn't make it 2780 02:25:41,440 --> 02:25:44,280 Speaker 7: look so keen in my eyes. For the Michigan Wolverines, 2781 02:25:44,800 --> 02:25:48,720 Speaker 7: my biggest issue is it Bertie. You mentioned that teams 2782 02:25:48,840 --> 02:25:51,520 Speaker 7: there's not enough money for teams to send scouts to 2783 02:25:51,520 --> 02:25:54,440 Speaker 7: all these different games, which is why the rule was implemented. Well, 2784 02:25:54,480 --> 02:25:56,640 Speaker 7: apparently it wasn't as much money as we thought that 2785 02:25:56,800 --> 02:25:58,640 Speaker 7: needed to be spent, since you could just now have 2786 02:25:58,680 --> 02:26:01,360 Speaker 7: an iPhone and a guy sitting in the crowd doing 2787 02:26:01,360 --> 02:26:04,680 Speaker 7: what Michigan was doing. But because it was so elaborate, 2788 02:26:05,040 --> 02:26:07,600 Speaker 7: because of the lengths that it went to, and I 2789 02:26:07,680 --> 02:26:11,720 Speaker 7: know that there's differences between reports and rumors. We were 2790 02:26:11,760 --> 02:26:14,560 Speaker 7: hearing stuff of Michigan even trying to have a say 2791 02:26:14,560 --> 02:26:17,000 Speaker 7: and maybe who was going to be in the College 2792 02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:20,800 Speaker 7: Football Playoff, maybe giving information to other schools. When that 2793 02:26:20,959 --> 02:26:23,280 Speaker 7: stuff comes out or if that stuff is found to 2794 02:26:23,879 --> 02:26:27,760 Speaker 7: be real, I think significant punishment should be handed down. 2795 02:26:27,920 --> 02:26:30,560 Speaker 7: I just don't think that to your point about Tony 2796 02:26:30,560 --> 02:26:33,880 Speaker 7: Pettiti in the Big Ten, the only entity that really 2797 02:26:33,879 --> 02:26:36,880 Speaker 7: would have the ability to put that punishment down. I 2798 02:26:36,920 --> 02:26:39,720 Speaker 7: don't think they will do anything for this season. 2799 02:26:39,800 --> 02:26:40,560 Speaker 2: I think it's. 2800 02:26:40,480 --> 02:26:44,080 Speaker 7: Better for the Big Ten if Michigan is still available 2801 02:26:44,120 --> 02:26:46,360 Speaker 7: to make that college football playoff, and they'll deal with 2802 02:26:46,400 --> 02:26:50,080 Speaker 7: the ramifications afterwards. But I think it is a huge scandal. 2803 02:26:50,120 --> 02:26:53,120 Speaker 7: I think that when people say everybody steal signs, I 2804 02:26:53,160 --> 02:26:55,680 Speaker 7: think that's downplaying it and passing it along down the 2805 02:26:55,760 --> 02:26:58,800 Speaker 7: river that I just don't think is realistic. Not this 2806 02:26:58,959 --> 02:27:02,920 Speaker 7: elaborate of a knowing a team steal signs takes up 2807 02:27:02,959 --> 02:27:06,120 Speaker 7: time in your practice preparation. Other schools have done it. 2808 02:27:06,120 --> 02:27:08,080 Speaker 7: Clemson was a school that was kind of known to 2809 02:27:08,120 --> 02:27:11,160 Speaker 7: be a good sign stealing. There's that portion of it, 2810 02:27:11,200 --> 02:27:14,959 Speaker 7: there's that gamesmanship. But to think that they went to 2811 02:27:15,040 --> 02:27:18,440 Speaker 7: that length of doing so, yeah, I mean there's gonna 2812 02:27:18,440 --> 02:27:21,240 Speaker 7: be a there should be a significant punishment. I just 2813 02:27:21,240 --> 02:27:22,720 Speaker 7: don't think it's going to happen this year. 2814 02:27:23,680 --> 02:27:26,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, just by the by laws and the NCAA 2815 02:27:26,240 --> 02:27:29,879 Speaker 2: and their protocol. Believe it or not, the average adjudication 2816 02:27:30,400 --> 02:27:33,200 Speaker 2: time period on these issues can be anywhere between three 2817 02:27:33,280 --> 02:27:35,280 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy days and nine hundred days. They just 2818 02:27:35,280 --> 02:27:36,360 Speaker 2: move incredibly slow. 2819 02:27:36,560 --> 02:27:36,879 Speaker 6: Yeah. 2820 02:27:37,280 --> 02:27:40,000 Speaker 7: And the part about it, though, is the Big Ten 2821 02:27:40,080 --> 02:27:44,400 Speaker 7: can do something about it, and they can't actually penalize 2822 02:27:44,160 --> 02:27:47,800 Speaker 7: the school and the parties that are currently at the school, 2823 02:27:48,320 --> 02:27:50,360 Speaker 7: which is something that we always have a problem with 2824 02:27:50,400 --> 02:27:53,280 Speaker 7: of Hey, these things happened year before. These kids weren't here, 2825 02:27:53,320 --> 02:27:55,800 Speaker 7: these coaches weren't here. Now they're paying the price to 2826 02:27:55,800 --> 02:27:58,560 Speaker 7: do it. You can do that with Michigan. You can 2827 02:27:58,640 --> 02:28:00,680 Speaker 7: do that with a lot of the the coaches that 2828 02:28:00,720 --> 02:28:04,520 Speaker 7: were on the staff last season during this playoff run 2829 02:28:04,600 --> 02:28:06,840 Speaker 7: when they ended up losing the TCU. You could do 2830 02:28:06,879 --> 02:28:08,600 Speaker 7: it the year before when they ended up losing in 2831 02:28:08,600 --> 02:28:12,199 Speaker 7: the semi finals as well. You can punish the current group. 2832 02:28:12,560 --> 02:28:14,480 Speaker 7: I just don't think when you have a new commissioner 2833 02:28:14,600 --> 02:28:16,200 Speaker 7: like the Big Ten does I think I'd have been 2834 02:28:16,200 --> 02:28:19,720 Speaker 7: a different start Jim Delaney was there, Honestly, Bernie, I do. 2835 02:28:20,080 --> 02:28:22,280 Speaker 7: But also you look at what is good for the conference, 2836 02:28:22,520 --> 02:28:24,800 Speaker 7: and it's good for the conference if Michigan is eligible 2837 02:28:24,840 --> 02:28:26,840 Speaker 7: to play in the Big Ten title game and for 2838 02:28:26,920 --> 02:28:29,320 Speaker 7: the College Football Playoff. And that's why in the end, 2839 02:28:29,320 --> 02:28:30,920 Speaker 7: I don't think they will do anything about it. 2840 02:28:31,000 --> 02:28:32,880 Speaker 2: Well, you've done your homework and you've covered a lot 2841 02:28:32,879 --> 02:28:35,720 Speaker 2: of ground because their new commissioner, Tony Batiti has the 2842 02:28:35,879 --> 02:28:40,760 Speaker 2: absolute exclusive authority to do what he wants, literally anything 2843 02:28:40,760 --> 02:28:42,760 Speaker 2: he wants, and as far as the Big Ten as 2844 02:28:42,800 --> 02:28:46,120 Speaker 2: a conference, they would be looking into potential violations of 2845 02:28:46,160 --> 02:28:49,600 Speaker 2: their sportsmanship policy, all right, and these are quote, actions 2846 02:28:49,600 --> 02:28:53,039 Speaker 2: that are offensive to the integrity of competition and they're punishable, 2847 02:28:53,040 --> 02:28:55,920 Speaker 2: and I think this falls in line. Clearly Michigan benefited 2848 02:28:55,920 --> 02:28:59,040 Speaker 2: from this. It's just like when Sammy SOILSI said, well 2849 02:28:59,240 --> 02:29:01,480 Speaker 2: Steros Doo babe take hit home runs? Well why'd you 2850 02:29:01,480 --> 02:29:01,840 Speaker 2: take them? 2851 02:29:01,840 --> 02:29:02,000 Speaker 10: Then? 2852 02:29:02,080 --> 02:29:04,520 Speaker 2: Okay, why did Michigan do this if they weren't benefiting 2853 02:29:04,560 --> 02:29:06,240 Speaker 2: from it? So you covered a lot of good ground there. 2854 02:29:06,600 --> 02:29:09,320 Speaker 2: I'm told that Tony Patiti's plate is played, is full, 2855 02:29:09,600 --> 02:29:12,280 Speaker 2: and they're not going to intervene until after the NCAA 2856 02:29:12,720 --> 02:29:16,240 Speaker 2: investigation concludes. That's at least another three weeks. And then 2857 02:29:16,280 --> 02:29:19,400 Speaker 2: you got the ninety day notice of allegation. So this 2858 02:29:19,440 --> 02:29:20,720 Speaker 2: is going to push to twenty twenty four. 2859 02:29:20,760 --> 02:29:22,920 Speaker 7: You know, there's also something, Bernie that I think is 2860 02:29:22,959 --> 02:29:25,760 Speaker 7: at steak is when did this all begin? And we 2861 02:29:25,840 --> 02:29:28,439 Speaker 7: believe it, you know, goes back a couple of years, 2862 02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:32,560 Speaker 7: and it shows you the lengths of when Jim Harbaugh 2863 02:29:32,680 --> 02:29:36,039 Speaker 7: needed to turn things around in Michigan and again, you 2864 02:29:36,080 --> 02:29:39,200 Speaker 7: know of what the lengths that they were willing to 2865 02:29:39,240 --> 02:29:42,120 Speaker 7: go to. And now you could say, well, Harbaugh didn't 2866 02:29:42,160 --> 02:29:44,120 Speaker 7: know about this, I don't know how many people really 2867 02:29:44,160 --> 02:29:46,840 Speaker 7: really believe that. And when you match up the timelines 2868 02:29:46,879 --> 02:29:48,959 Speaker 7: of who needed to win, who needed to win in 2869 02:29:49,000 --> 02:29:51,400 Speaker 7: twenty twenty one, who needed to win in twenty twenty two, 2870 02:29:51,680 --> 02:29:53,880 Speaker 7: who needed to have that season, who needed to break 2871 02:29:53,959 --> 02:29:55,800 Speaker 7: through and play in a Big Ten title game or 2872 02:29:56,000 --> 02:29:58,400 Speaker 7: make it to the College Football playoff, there was a 2873 02:29:58,440 --> 02:30:02,000 Speaker 7: lot at steak for me coming off with that COVID year. 2874 02:30:02,280 --> 02:30:04,000 Speaker 7: And if that's when this kind of all started to 2875 02:30:04,560 --> 02:30:07,920 Speaker 7: take place, yeah, that's not good. 2876 02:30:08,920 --> 02:30:11,040 Speaker 2: All good stuff, dan Patrick, you got the last chord 2877 02:30:11,080 --> 02:30:12,039 Speaker 2: on this. She wanted to weigh in. 2878 02:30:12,800 --> 02:30:17,480 Speaker 12: Yeah, I do believe that just they Harbad definitely knew 2879 02:30:17,920 --> 02:30:21,120 Speaker 12: what was going on. And I'm not fond of just 2880 02:30:21,160 --> 02:30:24,440 Speaker 12: the allegations either. I think there definitely is they were 2881 02:30:24,520 --> 02:30:28,080 Speaker 12: up to no good and definitely, you know they benefited 2882 02:30:28,080 --> 02:30:29,840 Speaker 12: from doing it, just as you were saying, and just 2883 02:30:30,240 --> 02:30:32,680 Speaker 12: like there are certain ways of you know, they're scouting also, 2884 02:30:32,760 --> 02:30:35,240 Speaker 12: but going and flying guys out to other teams and 2885 02:30:35,600 --> 02:30:38,120 Speaker 12: you know, stealing their signs and then people knowing that 2886 02:30:38,160 --> 02:30:40,840 Speaker 12: they were stealing signs and kind of like giving them, 2887 02:30:40,879 --> 02:30:43,039 Speaker 12: like you know, the feeding them the fake ones just 2888 02:30:43,080 --> 02:30:45,760 Speaker 12: to kind of appease it and saying it's an elaborate thing. 2889 02:30:45,840 --> 02:30:48,040 Speaker 12: Like they were definitely like trying to get away with 2890 02:30:48,080 --> 02:30:51,320 Speaker 12: it and whatnot. And it's you're right, it's probably not 2891 02:30:51,360 --> 02:30:54,840 Speaker 12: gonna be anything for this season, but twenty twenty four 2892 02:30:55,160 --> 02:30:57,360 Speaker 12: we're probably gonna see a lot of you know, a 2893 02:30:57,360 --> 02:30:59,920 Speaker 12: lot of the after effect of what's gonna. 2894 02:30:59,720 --> 02:31:01,840 Speaker 2: Happen, and we'll see. I mean, I I did my 2895 02:31:01,920 --> 02:31:03,880 Speaker 2: research and made a lot of calls. It's in this 2896 02:31:04,000 --> 02:31:07,920 Speaker 2: odd era we are in. Taking away scholarships isn't going 2897 02:31:07,959 --> 02:31:11,119 Speaker 2: to scare anybody because with n IL and transfer portal 2898 02:31:11,160 --> 02:31:13,280 Speaker 2: they can make up for it. And I don't I 2899 02:31:13,440 --> 02:31:15,959 Speaker 2: Julie believe Jim Harbaught turned sixty next year. He never 2900 02:31:16,000 --> 02:31:18,280 Speaker 2: got over losing the Super Bowl to his brother. I 2901 02:31:18,280 --> 02:31:20,280 Speaker 2: think he wants to be back on the NFL. This 2902 02:31:20,320 --> 02:31:22,240 Speaker 2: is a mess, but it's should be taking a little 2903 02:31:22,240 --> 02:31:24,400 Speaker 2: bit more serious. I think a lot of it has 2904 02:31:24,440 --> 02:31:27,480 Speaker 2: been brushed off, and I think, you know, Dan brought 2905 02:31:27,520 --> 02:31:29,959 Speaker 2: up some really good points there in terms of motivation 2906 02:31:30,200 --> 02:31:34,280 Speaker 2: and the wide reaching ramifications just should have. And I 2907 02:31:34,280 --> 02:31:36,560 Speaker 2: got to tell you, the wheels of justice just grind 2908 02:31:36,600 --> 02:31:40,200 Speaker 2: so slowly with the NCAA that this is this is 2909 02:31:40,240 --> 02:31:44,280 Speaker 2: going to fall in that same in that same category. 2910 02:31:44,840 --> 02:31:48,199 Speaker 2: Coming up on October third, I sent out a tweet 2911 02:31:48,240 --> 02:31:51,280 Speaker 2: that literally lit the world on fire. I'm gonna tell 2912 02:31:51,280 --> 02:31:54,000 Speaker 2: you the latest of what I know about Urban Meyer 2913 02:31:54,440 --> 02:31:57,959 Speaker 2: and what I vetted through sources and frankly, whether you 2914 02:31:58,000 --> 02:32:00,400 Speaker 2: believe it or not, and whether you like Urban or not, 2915 02:32:00,600 --> 02:32:03,400 Speaker 2: his track record when he takes over a team, it's 2916 02:32:03,480 --> 02:32:06,080 Speaker 2: pretty good in terms of the wins on the field. 2917 02:32:06,440 --> 02:32:09,160 Speaker 2: I'll share with you what that record has been. I'm 2918 02:32:09,160 --> 02:32:12,039 Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle for Company Live from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, 2919 02:32:12,080 --> 02:32:14,680 Speaker 2: Tireck dot Com Studios.

All right. 2934 02:33:09,640 --> 02:33:15,280 Speaker 2: October third, I innocuously put out a tweet because I 2935 02:33:15,320 --> 02:33:17,119 Speaker 2: was on a conversation with one of my very good 2936 02:33:17,120 --> 02:33:19,840 Speaker 2: sources in East Lansing who informed me that Urban Meyer 2937 02:33:19,959 --> 02:33:22,120 Speaker 2: was in town. I know he wasn't there to eat 2938 02:33:22,120 --> 02:33:24,400 Speaker 2: at the Flapjackshack or hang out in Omars with all 2939 02:33:24,440 --> 02:33:28,760 Speaker 2: the congressmen. Those are inside Michigan jokes. People will know 2940 02:33:28,800 --> 02:33:30,879 Speaker 2: what they are. If you live in East Lansing. We 2941 02:33:30,959 --> 02:33:34,440 Speaker 2: know why he was there. He was refuted. I promise 2942 02:33:34,520 --> 02:33:37,720 Speaker 2: you it's been vetted multiple times. I confirmed it through 2943 02:33:38,160 --> 02:33:40,560 Speaker 2: five sources. Now now we've advanced a way past that. 2944 02:33:40,680 --> 02:33:43,640 Speaker 2: And if you cared to have go to my Twitter 2945 02:33:44,040 --> 02:33:46,720 Speaker 2: a page at Bernie Frattle. I've made a pin tweet. 2946 02:33:47,240 --> 02:33:49,440 Speaker 2: That's a forty seven second video from a gentleman named 2947 02:33:49,520 --> 02:33:53,240 Speaker 2: Jim COMPERRONI who's been in town forty three years. They're 2948 02:33:53,320 --> 02:33:57,879 Speaker 2: highly respected spartanmag dot com founder publisher. He was in 2949 02:33:58,040 --> 02:34:01,480 Speaker 2: Minnesota covering the Martin's I'm going to be on a 2950 02:34:01,480 --> 02:34:02,960 Speaker 2: plane tomorrow soon. He and I are going to talk 2951 02:34:03,400 --> 02:34:06,440 Speaker 2: a Monday. But I have plenty of sources, and I 2952 02:34:06,520 --> 02:34:08,680 Speaker 2: now know it's advanced. I'm not going to tell you 2953 02:34:08,680 --> 02:34:11,640 Speaker 2: what urban Meyer has been offered. I know a lot 2954 02:34:11,640 --> 02:34:13,640 Speaker 2: of details that I just don't care to share at 2955 02:34:13,640 --> 02:34:17,040 Speaker 2: this time. People don't have to believe him. That's your choice. 2956 02:34:18,240 --> 02:34:19,880 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to take the job. 2957 02:34:20,840 --> 02:34:22,840 Speaker 2: I'd never once predicted he was going to take the job. 2958 02:34:22,879 --> 02:34:25,800 Speaker 2: I merely said that he was there, and to the 2959 02:34:25,840 --> 02:34:28,200 Speaker 2: Bruce Feldmans or even the Brady Quinns of the world, 2960 02:34:28,440 --> 02:34:31,400 Speaker 2: I fired back. I said, Hey, go ahead, ask your sources. 2961 02:34:31,640 --> 02:34:33,600 Speaker 2: Was he in East Lansing. No one's debunked that, and 2962 02:34:33,640 --> 02:34:37,560 Speaker 2: they won't because they can't. But here's what's really interesting, 2963 02:34:37,600 --> 02:34:41,400 Speaker 2: because I realize Urban is such a polarizing individual. We 2964 02:34:41,480 --> 02:34:44,080 Speaker 2: know why. It's the perfect storm. The way he left Jacksonville, 2965 02:34:44,120 --> 02:34:46,160 Speaker 2: the way he left Ohio State, the way it ented 2966 02:34:46,160 --> 02:34:49,160 Speaker 2: at Florida. Combine that with what's going on at Michigan 2967 02:34:49,200 --> 02:34:52,160 Speaker 2: State and the mel Tucker situation and the six degrees 2968 02:34:52,200 --> 02:34:55,640 Speaker 2: of Larry Nasser, it's beyond the perfect storm. But Michigan 2969 02:34:55,720 --> 02:34:59,160 Speaker 2: State has some very serious financial backers that can make 2970 02:34:59,200 --> 02:35:02,520 Speaker 2: this happen. If Urban wants to coach the team, well, 2971 02:35:02,680 --> 02:35:06,800 Speaker 2: they've had conversations more than one and we'll just have 2972 02:35:06,879 --> 02:35:10,359 Speaker 2: to see where they go. This goes. But what's interesting 2973 02:35:10,600 --> 02:35:12,879 Speaker 2: is I know that Michigan State fans are desperate. They're 2974 02:35:12,879 --> 02:35:18,720 Speaker 2: coming into my LinkedIn accounts now boosters. It's incredible what's happened. Well, 2975 02:35:18,800 --> 02:35:22,520 Speaker 2: if you look at Urban's history just on the field 2976 02:35:22,520 --> 02:35:27,920 Speaker 2: in terms of win loss, not only did he immediately 2977 02:35:27,959 --> 02:35:32,400 Speaker 2: turn around the programs that he joined after he left, 2978 02:35:32,520 --> 02:35:35,160 Speaker 2: they were in such good stead they continue to have success. 2979 02:35:35,680 --> 02:35:39,359 Speaker 2: I'll give you the numbers. Urban's first coaching gig, Bowling 2980 02:35:39,360 --> 02:35:42,160 Speaker 2: Green was two and nine before he got there. They 2981 02:35:42,160 --> 02:35:44,840 Speaker 2: went eight and three in urban Meyers first year. That's 2982 02:35:44,840 --> 02:35:49,959 Speaker 2: a big turnaround to increase six additional victories your first year. 2983 02:35:51,120 --> 02:35:53,440 Speaker 2: Everybody's going crazy about Dion, and I'm fine with it, 2984 02:35:53,480 --> 02:35:55,200 Speaker 2: But that would be a like Colorado winning seven or 2985 02:35:55,240 --> 02:35:57,560 Speaker 2: eight games this year, not four or five or six. 2986 02:35:58,440 --> 02:36:01,720 Speaker 2: Urban went to Utah five and six the year before 2987 02:36:01,840 --> 02:36:05,160 Speaker 2: urban Meyer got there. Urban Meyer went ten and two 2988 02:36:05,760 --> 02:36:10,280 Speaker 2: in his first year in Utah. Now, Florida was seven 2989 02:36:10,320 --> 02:36:13,400 Speaker 2: and five under Will muss Champ the year before urban 2990 02:36:13,440 --> 02:36:16,680 Speaker 2: Meyer got there, but by Florida standards, that's an anethema. 2991 02:36:17,440 --> 02:36:20,200 Speaker 2: They went nine to three in myrs first year. And 2992 02:36:20,240 --> 02:36:24,240 Speaker 2: then of course Ohio State that debacle. They were six 2993 02:36:24,320 --> 02:36:28,080 Speaker 2: and seven after the Jim Tressel. You know, they had 2994 02:36:28,120 --> 02:36:30,240 Speaker 2: a couple of years with Luke Fickle, et cetera. They 2995 02:36:30,240 --> 02:36:34,080 Speaker 2: went six and seven. Urban Meyer's first year, Ohio State 2996 02:36:34,160 --> 02:36:38,520 Speaker 2: went twelve and zero. They were not eligible for the playoffs. Okay, 2997 02:36:38,920 --> 02:36:42,080 Speaker 2: he rebuilds, they take less than a year. He took 2998 02:36:42,080 --> 02:36:44,800 Speaker 2: over programs that were twenty and twenty seven and we're 2999 02:36:44,800 --> 02:36:46,720 Speaker 2: thirty nine and eight in his first seasons. But it's 3000 02:36:46,760 --> 02:36:48,879 Speaker 2: not just what he got there, it's after he left. 3001 02:36:49,800 --> 02:36:53,000 Speaker 2: Utah was twenty two and two under urban Meyer. They 3002 02:36:53,000 --> 02:36:56,960 Speaker 2: were fifty seven and twenty the six years after Utah 3003 02:36:57,120 --> 02:37:00,880 Speaker 2: is still very competitive. Florida they they were sixty five 3004 02:37:00,959 --> 02:37:04,880 Speaker 2: and fifteen under urban Meyer. The two years following well, 3005 02:37:05,040 --> 02:37:07,240 Speaker 2: they were eighteen and eight, and the coach they had 3006 02:37:07,280 --> 02:37:09,879 Speaker 2: at the time, I'll sparry his name was considered a 3007 02:37:09,879 --> 02:37:13,720 Speaker 2: horrible head coach. Meanwhile, you know, Ohio State was eighty 3008 02:37:13,800 --> 02:37:17,240 Speaker 2: three and nine under urban Meyer through fifty one and six. 3009 02:37:17,640 --> 02:37:22,400 Speaker 2: Since then, won two national championships at Florida and a 3010 02:37:22,520 --> 02:37:28,000 Speaker 2: national championship at Ohio State. We understand it's a highly 3011 02:37:28,080 --> 02:37:32,400 Speaker 2: charged situation, but in the past he's proven he can 3012 02:37:32,400 --> 02:37:35,560 Speaker 2: fill the cupboard, turn a school into a winter everybody 3013 02:37:35,600 --> 02:37:38,240 Speaker 2: buy back in, and then set the program up for 3014 02:37:38,320 --> 02:37:42,120 Speaker 2: potentially a decade of success, even if he's there just 3015 02:37:42,160 --> 02:37:44,520 Speaker 2: four or five years. I know they're desperate at Michigan 3016 02:37:44,520 --> 02:37:49,080 Speaker 2: State now. They went from competing against Maryland, Iowa and 3017 02:37:49,200 --> 02:37:52,160 Speaker 2: Rutgers losing in the fourth quarter to get smashed by 3018 02:37:52,200 --> 02:37:54,960 Speaker 2: Michigan forty nine to nothing last week, and then of 3019 02:37:54,959 --> 02:37:58,720 Speaker 2: course they lost Saturday at Minnesota that the program has 3020 02:37:58,760 --> 02:38:02,720 Speaker 2: gone completely off a clip Michigan State. I know my 3021 02:38:02,840 --> 02:38:05,160 Speaker 2: car called them little brother. They're not It's not fair. 3022 02:38:05,560 --> 02:38:08,279 Speaker 2: There's three hundred and thirty one Division one college basketball 3023 02:38:08,280 --> 02:38:10,800 Speaker 2: programs one hundred and thirty five Division one football programs. 3024 02:38:11,000 --> 02:38:13,480 Speaker 2: Michigan State ranks eleventh in revenue at one hundred and 3025 02:38:13,480 --> 02:38:15,840 Speaker 2: eighty two. And when you got guys like matteshb and 3026 02:38:15,840 --> 02:38:19,440 Speaker 2: Steve s Andre and billionaire guys that can do what 3027 02:38:19,480 --> 02:38:22,360 Speaker 2: they want, We'll see where this goes. Don't poop poo it. 3028 02:38:22,360 --> 02:38:25,160 Speaker 2: It's a real story. Not predicting it's gonna take the job, 3029 02:38:25,600 --> 02:38:27,400 Speaker 2: but the notion that none of this was going on, 3030 02:38:27,600 --> 02:38:29,920 Speaker 2: you're wrong. I've been sourced. I've been doing this a 3031 02:38:29,959 --> 02:38:33,480 Speaker 2: long time. It's gonna do it for the Bernie Fradle Show. 3032 02:38:33,520 --> 02:38:36,200 Speaker 2: Back on these airwaves next Friday night at eleven PM. 3033 02:38:36,240 --> 02:38:38,959 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening. In the meantime, keep it locked up next, 3034 02:38:39,200 --> 02:38:41,640 Speaker 2: They're great. Andy Furman on Fox Sports Radio
