Speaker 1: Tyraq dot com the way tire buying should be. We

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: are thirteen hours away from what should be an epic

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: college basketball championship game. Of course i'm talking about well,

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the ladies Iowa and South Carolina.

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: We're going to get to that game a little bit later,

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: and of course, Monday evening, we have our final set

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: now between Yukon and Purdue. To no one's surprise, at

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: least not to my surprise. If you heard my vehement

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: commentary last night about how strongly I felt about how

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: not only you kind of win it all this year,

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: but how I truly believe that Bobby Hurley is or

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley excuse me, is on a mission and he

19
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: is building what I consider to be I won't use

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: the word dynasty, but something that is very very sustainable.

21
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: Let's face it, Alabama found out the hard way to night,

22
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: even though the game was tied at fifty six at

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: one point. But when you shoot eight of eleven from

24
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: behind the arc in the first half and you still

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: trail by four, okay, you had to know that that

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: kind of shooting from three point land you were going

27
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: to regress to the mean, and Alabama did. They were

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: two of eleven from behind the arc in the second half,

29
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,279
Speaker 2: and it was eighty six seventy then eighty six seventy two. Final.

30
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: Once again, Yukon wins, wins by double digits, and yes

31
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: they cover the number. Talked about this with crack Man

32
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: last night. Did I get on Yukon? No? But why

33
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: would you get in front of a speeding train? You

34
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: just don't do it. They've covered eleven in a row

35
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: now and they're laying six six and a half against Purdue.

36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 2: We're gonna break down that game more in depth a

37
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: little bit later, but let's take a look quickly back

38
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: at Saturday's semi final games. Yes they're back, Yukon Huskies

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: give it up to NATO. It's in Alabama. Yukon survived

40
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: a bit of an onslaught from Alabama second straight National

41
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: Championship game State Farm Stadium in Arizona. Really any sort

42
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: of a glorious I thought atmosphere. And you know, you

43
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: hear a lot about Yukon's intensity, You hear a lot

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: about Danny Hurley, et cetera. Well, if you've heard about

45
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Stefan Kassel, you saw it on display Saturday night, career

46
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: high twenty one points. He led Yukon pass the tide

47
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: and oh yeah, Donovan Kling and eighteen Ox Caravan Can

48
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: Spencer each had fourteen. Tristan Newton had twelve. That's the thing.

49
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: Not only did they play defense, they got five guys

50
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: that can score. They all scored in double figures. Now,

51
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: Alabama's Mark Sears was everything as advertised as well. Series

52
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: used to be where America shops. Now series is where well,

53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: Mark Sears shops on the floor for twenty four points

54
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: and Grant Nelson solid with nineteen. Again, Bama had to

55
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: score tied at fifty six with twelve forty one left.

56
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: But what happens, well, that's what always happens. The Huskies

57
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: go on there. Patent had run thirty to sixteen to

58
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: close the game out, so what was really the key

59
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: in Yukon's win. I never really doubted they'd win. I

60
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: I was waiting for them to just exert their will,

61
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: which they finally did, and it happened. When it was

62
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: tied at fifty six, Stefan Castle scored four in a

63
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: row to begin, a Surgeon had an eight to zero

64
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: run at that point. They never looked back. Samson Johnson

65
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: hit a dunk, Alex Caravan hit another jumper right there,

66
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: just like that, all of a sudden at sixty four

67
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: or fifty six, and you could feel the air come

68
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: out of the balloon just a little bit. What surprised

69
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: me most about Saturday's game with Yukon and Alabama As

70
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: I talked about this Friday night and Ken Palm's defensive efficiency,

71
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: Yukon ranked third overall nationally, BAMO ranked one hundred and fifth.

72
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: So what's somewhat surprised me was not so much Yukon

73
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: shutting down Alabama, but it was more Yukon outscoring Alabama. Yes,

74
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: we all know that the Huskies and rank number one

75
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: for offense and Ken Pom, but we're talking about a

76
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: team that has gotten to this point by completely stifling

77
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: opposing offenses. Look what they did Illinois well against the Tide.

78
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: On the other hand, Stefan Castle, he had an outstanding

79
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: scoring night, scoring night in Yukon. Well, this doesn't hurt either.

80
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: They only committed four turnovers. You got a night. Castle

81
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 2: is now drawing some comparisons to Carmelo Anthony and Patrick

82
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: Ewing to become big East freshman to scored more than

83
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: twenty points in a Final Four game. He also had

84
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: five rebounds, and he had that alley from Christian Newton

85
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: toward the beginning of the start of the second half.

86
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: That kind of kickstarted the run. This guy's an NBA player.

87
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: I think you'll see him in the NBA next year.

88
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: I don't know where you'll see Brownie James, but you

89
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: will see Stefan Castle in the NBA. Now, I know

90
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: what people are gonna think. Does Yukon look a little

91
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: less formidable? Do they look a little less unstoppable? Now?

92
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: Do they look perhaps beatable? It's subjective to what you

93
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: think based on what you saw. No, I don't change

94
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: a single thing about how I feel about Yukon or

95
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: what I said last night. I realized they never have

96
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 2: a thirty point lead on Alabama But that's only because

97
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: now if you're thinking that you set such a ridiculous

98
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: high bar for the team that you're basically underscoring what

99
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,119
Speaker 2: we've been saying all along. This team is on another level.

100
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: You almost expect them to do that. Now, we're still

101
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: talking about a team that's won eleven straight NCAA Tournament

102
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: games by double digits. That in and of itself was

103
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: a tremendous head scratcher. All right. The only reason you

104
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: can make any sort of case to say that the

105
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: Huskis can beat is because great teams in the past

106
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: have UNLV nineteen ninety one, they were thirty three and

107
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: oh and I don't want to dual role call. Okay,

108
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: Look a year ago Yukon completely stormed through the NCAA Tournament.

109
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: They won all six games they won by at least

110
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: thirteen points. Only three of the top eight players from

111
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: that team return this year. Yet I think they're better

112
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: last year. The team might have been flashier and more

113
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: explosive as it were. This team will grind you down

114
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: if it's a game of attrition. Alabama, Yukon will grind

115
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: you down like a football team. They're thirty six and

116
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: three now, they've lost one game since Christmas. They've led

117
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: by thirty or more points in each of their first

118
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: four NCAA games. They're led by as much as sixteen

119
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: on Saturday. They fooled Illinois believing they had a chance

120
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: for twenty minutes on Saturday last Saturday, only to rip

121
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: off the thirty unanswered points. You already know all that.

122
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: So is Yukon unbeatable? No, no one's unbeatable. Do I

123
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: think Purdue will beat them Monday night? No? I do not.

124
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: But I want to give it up to NATO's in Alabama.

125
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: What's their legacy right now? Once again? Nato Its has

126
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: really sort of created an offensive juggernaut, and he made

127
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: the schools first run to the Final Four proof that

128
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: I think he can do it again. He's got a

129
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: formula that works. Yes, NATO's teams they think a lot

130
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: of three pointers. Frankly, they don't shoot mid rain shots.

131
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: They actually avoid mid rain shots. But they play fast.

132
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 2: They dare teams to match their pace. That actually worked

133
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: for a little bit more than a half against the Huskies,

134
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: not the full game, but on the biggest stage in

135
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: college basketball. Natoates proved and I think he'll prove that

136
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: he can continue to do so produce sensational results for

137
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: what has been known as a football program. Obviously, where

138
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: they have eighteen national championships, Alabama has real hope now

139
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: heading into Saturday's game. I did not I made no

140
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: bones about it. They were not going to beat Yukon,

141
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: partly because Alabama gave up the six to most points

142
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 2: per game eighty two of any team in Division One

143
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: this season, the second most by an NCAA tournament team

144
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: in the past twenty five years of any team. And

145
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, well, they gave up

146
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: eighty six on Saturday night, but in the past eleven

147
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: games prior to Saturday night versus Yukon, Alabama was giving

148
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 2: up ninety one points per game. Tip of the cap.

149
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 2: What's their legacy that this team is here and Natoates

150
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: is gotten them to where they are a very serious

151
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: player in the NCAA tournament. And I expect he'll recruit

152
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: the same way, players who are athletic and fast, who

153
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: can shoot. He did it at Buffalo, He's done it everywhere.

154
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: So the truth of the matter is, you tip your

155
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: cap to Alabama. They quitted themselves quite nicely. Saturday night,

156
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: and that is in the throes of a double digit loss.

157
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,760

184

Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, just getting started. I take you up

185
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: two three am Pacific, six am Eastern. We're litl over,

186
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 2: twelve hours away from tip off Yukon. Check that Iowa

187
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: in South Carolina, and we'll break that game down after

188
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 2: Kevin Wiert's update at the bottom of the hour. Does

189
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: it feel a little bit like Purdue is the Roddey

190
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: Dangerfield of this tournament? They're still they get respect, but

191
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: they don't get respect if you get my drift, you know,

192
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: if you look at Hal Purdue beat North Carolina State

193
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: and they beat him by thirteen. Saturday night, they held

194
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: North Carolina State, a very plucky team, great season for them,

195
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: heeled them to fifty points. What was really the key? Well, yeah,

196
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: you have your two time AP Player of the Year,

197
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 2: Zach Edy, and he played like a two time APE

198
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: Player of the Year and Purdue advanced the National Championship

199
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: game because if you have a guy like Zach Eaty,

200
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: it opens up an opportunity for a perimeter game. The

201
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 2: Boilermakers made ten three pointers forty four percent behind the

202
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: art they held North Carolina State to just twenty eight percent.

203
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: Did Purdue look sharp, No, They turned the ball over

204
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 2: sixteen times. They're most of the tournament, And it was

205
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: sort of a vast interesting juxtaposition between how Purdue has

206
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: played the last two NCAA tournaments, when they shot just

207
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: twenty six percent from three. They shot forty percent Saturday night.

208
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: That kind of shooting helped them prevent a fifth loss

209
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: when they commit at least fourteen turnovers. So there's the

210
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: good news. Even though Perdue committed sixteen turnovers when they'd

211
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: done that prior, they lost, and no one will let

212
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: them forget the fact that Purdue lost to Fairley Dickinson

213
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: last year as the number one seed when Fairley Dickinson

214
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: was his sixteen seed. So they're trying to do with

215
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: Virginia and Tony Bennett did just a few years ago

216
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: come back from losing as a sixteen or losing to

217
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: a sixteen seed and winning it all the following year.

218
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: This game was a little sirizing though, because it was

219
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: much lower scoring. It figured to be somewhat low scoring,

220
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: but not as low scoring as it was. Purdue got

221
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: to the Final four statistically with the best offense in

222
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: the tournament. They've been scoring almost one point three points

223
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: per possession in their four wins. This time, though, the

224
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: Boilermakers only put up sixty three points in sixty four

225
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: trips down the floor. North Carolina State did fairly well

226
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: to force the Boilermakers into sixteen turnovers. The problem was

227
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: North Carolina State couldn't make their shots. Hold that thought

228
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: because I do think Purdue's in trouble Monday night. But

229
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: we'll see the most outstanding player though again Zach Edy.

230
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: The team Purdue runs through Zach Edy one way or

231
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: another period end up story. It happened again. Edie finished

232
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: with twenty points twelve rebounds, his six to st eight

233
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: double double dating back to last year's NCAA tournament. Zach

234
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 2: Edy also became the first Big Ten player with five

235
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: double doubles in n NCAA tournament. He was also able

236
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: to single handedly affect the game beyond just scoring and rebounding.

237
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: He touches the ball on almost every possession, not every possession,

238
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: but forty one of their sixty four possessions. And when

239
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: he touched the ball, that produced thirty six points in

240
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: just six turnovers. So the offense is going to have

241
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: to run through Edie. We're gonna break it down later

242
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: in the show. We're gonna get very granular as to

243
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: the matchup between Yukon and Purdue, and clearly the Klingon

244
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: versus Eedy battle down low. Turn back the clock. We're

245
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: gonna see a couple of big men knocking heads with

246
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: each other. So if you are Purdue's next opponent, you

247
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: know you are at Yukon and you watch this game,

248
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: there's one thing you might want to make note of.

249
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: Don't file zach Edy if you can avoid it, because

250
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: if you're gonna you hold him to a twenty to

251
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: twelve double double, that's about as good as it gets

252
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: for NC State. The problem was the wolf Packers couldn't

253
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: scorre on points. You want Zach Edy to try to

254
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: score from the field. That's your best option in a

255
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: situation that really doesn't have a lot of great options.

256
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: Edie is gonna get his points no matter what. But

257
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: if you put him on the line more than you

258
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: want to, that's gonna keep the game maybe a little

259
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: bit closer again. In much the same way I gave

260
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: Alabama their flowers, I really think you have to give

261
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: North Carolina State their flowers as well. They're running to

262
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: the final four is still historic. They were just the

263
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: sixth eleventh seed to reach your final four, and their

264
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: streak of nine consecutive eliminations game wins, I mean, think

265
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: about that. You have to respect the team that won

266
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: nine games in a row and everyone was win or

267
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: go home. That's remarkable. And of course the in C State,

268
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: no matter what they ever do, will never escape what

269
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: I consider to be the great shadow of the legendary

270
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: Jimmy Valvano. And of course that nineteen eighty three championship

271
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: run which came completely out of the blue, which created

272
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: a thirty for thirty called Survive in Advance. And if

273
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: you saw DJ Burns, you can't not have observed him

274
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: and heard him talk and heard his story without really

275
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: liking him. And DJ Burns emerged as one of the

276
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament's breakout players. Kevin Keats a guy I've always

277
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: thought was a good coach. He's had some rough years

278
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: at INCA State. He went from perhaps having one foot

279
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: on the grave and the other end a banana peel.

280
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: He's got plenty of job security now. And if you

281
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: are looking at Raleigh, North Carolina right there, and you

282
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: know Tobacco Road in the triangle, all of a sudden

283
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: you say to yourself, hey, this might be a spot

284
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: where transfers can make an immediate impact. So I think

285
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 2: there's a lot to be of positives to be taken

286
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: away for NC State as the season may not have

287
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 2: ended up the way they wanted it to, but the

288
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 2: season certainly ended up in a storybook fashion, one that

289
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: they can take forward and feel pretty good about. So

290
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 2: that leaves Yukon and Purdue moving forward. Tip off Monday night,

291
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 2: I believe about six fifteen Pacific around nine to fifteen Eastern.

292
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: If I have that right after double check, then Yukon

293
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 2: is a six and a half point favorite. But before

294
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: I break down the game later in the show, I

295
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: want to share some things. And what this is designed

296
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: to do is shine an even brighter light on how truly,

297
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: how truly dominant the Cusk he had been in this

298
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: most latest run. So now the number is eleven. Dating

299
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: back to last year, Yukon, I'm talking about the tournament.

300
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: Yukon has not only won a record eleven straight NCAA

301
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: Tournament games by double digits, the smallest margin of victory

302
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 2: during that span was a thirteen point win over Miami

303
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: the final four last year, the week after Miami had

304
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: beaten Houston by thirteen. Remember Yukon won by fourteen Saturday

305
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 2: night and the closing number, I believe that it is.

306
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: I believe it got his high as twelve. I know

307
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: it was ten and a half, eleven, eleven and a half.

308
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: I believe it got his highst twelve. They covered it,

309
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: Like I said, why get in front of a speeding train.

310
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: People think, well, they're eventually going to play a close

311
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: game with somebody. Okay, good luck with that. Don't get

312
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 2: in front of a speeding train. By the way, it's

313
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: been seventeen years since the defending champion reached the Elite

314
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: eight before this season. Duke was the last reigning champ

315
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: Turney winner to reach the second week. That was the

316
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen and twenty sixteen. So we're looking at the

317
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: team that could repeat the last team to get to

318
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: the final four after winning the championship the year before

319
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 2: without repeating was Michigan State. Of course, you know what

320
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: Florida did in oh seven, tom Izzo's Michigan State did

321
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 2: in twenty oh one. It is not easy to win

322
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 2: a championship or even get to the finals. Prior to

323
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: Saturday Night's fourteen point win, Dan Hurley squad had won

324
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: their last ten games in the Big Dance by an

325
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: average of twenty four point nine points per game. This

326
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: Yukon team is scary. As I said, Alabama was eight

327
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 2: of eleven from behind the arc in the first half

328
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: and they still trailed by four. Wow, all right, Yukon

329
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 2: did trail during the game against Alabama. Alabama threw the

330
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: sink at him, just couldn't beat him. But prior to

331
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: Saturday Night's game, Yukon, well, they'd only trailed for twenty

332
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: eight seconds the entire tournament. That was a first twenty

333
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: and seconds of their contest against San Diego State back

334
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: during the Sweet sixteen. It was the only time the

335
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: Huskies had faced a deficit during this year's tournament. That

336
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: was prior to Saturday night. By the way, a week

337
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: ago Saturday, when Yukon beat Illinois by the margin they did.

338
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: Their thirty point win was the most lopsided victory in

339
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: the regional final in seven years. It's a regional semi final.

340
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 2: Check that. And for the last time, Yukon. Yes, they

341
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 2: won their first three games this year in the tournament

342
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: by eighty six points. That's the ninth largest margin of

343
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: victory through the Sweet sixteen going back forty years. So

344
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: once again, Yukon is not just winning, they're dominating. You

345
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: may have been in a coma and you wake up

346
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: and say, hold, um wow, Well they beat Alabama by

347
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: fourteen eighty six to seventy two, and that's he done.

348
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 2: But if you watch the game, Alabama, they tried to

349
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: impose their will and again it was fifty six fifty

350
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 2: six with a you know, as the game was, you know,

351
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 2: ten minutes to go there abouts. And the truth of

352
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 2: the matter is that at that point you knew actually

353
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: twelve twelve minutes left, about twelve forty one left Yukon.

354
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 2: Then they went on an eight oh run, and that

355
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: they just squeezed him. At that point, they just shut

356
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 2: them down and did what they do. So a little

357
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: later in the show, we'll break it down Yukon Purdue.

358
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: We'll give you the odds, we'll give you predictions, we'll

359
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 2: give you matchups, things to look for, key you know,

360
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: key players, things of that nature. But coming up, we've

361
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: got what I consider to be a really enticing and

362
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: what should be a very entertaining national championship on the

363
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: women's side, Iowa versus South Carolina. There will be hate watching,

364
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 2: there will be Kate and Clark ruiders. It's a revenge

365
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: match from last year. We're gonna give you all the

366
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 2: backstories and set this thing up so Saturday's game. Check

367
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: that Sunday's game between South Carolina and Iowa has some

368
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: context for you. But first let's go to guy Kevin

384
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 6: just a year removed from losing to sixteenth seed Farley Dickinson.

385
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 6: In women's college basketball, the final is tomorrow. Top ranked

386
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 6: in undefeated South Carolina, they're thirty seven to zero, trying

387
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 6: to cap off a perfect season, and they'll be going

388
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 6: up against IOWA and their superstar Caitlyn Clarka. That Iowa

389
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 6: win against LSU drew fourteen point two million viewers. That

390
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 6: was a new record for women's March Madness Basketball Hall

391
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 6: of Fame's new class includes Vince Carter, Chauncey Phillips, and

00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 6: Michael Cooper. The regular season ends a week from tomorrow.

393
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 6: The Lakers win against Cleveland won sixteen to nine to seven.

394
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 6: They've won nine out of the last ten games the

395
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 6: Brooklyn Nets. They trailed Detroit by fifteen points with seven

396
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 6: and a half minutes ago, but they come from hind

397
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 6: to beat. The Pistons won thirteen to one oh three

398
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 6: sixers over the Grizzlies won sixteen ninety six behind Joel

399
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 6: Embiid's thirty points and did have eight turnovers though at

400
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 6: Philadelphia playing incredibly well with Joel Embiid back in the lineup,

401
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 6: Denver shot sixty percent from the field, so they take

402
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 6: down the Hawks one forty two to one ten. The

403
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 6: NHL regular season ends April eighteenth, Boston overtime winners against

404
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 6: Florida three to two, the New York Islanders shutting out

405
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 6: Nashville to nothing, Winnipeg over Minnesota for the two.

406
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: Thank you, Bernie, all right, Jeff, good stuff. So, as

407
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: I mentioned, we are twelve and a half hours away

408
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: from a tip off between what I believe will truly

409
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: be in sensational marquee game matchup between Iowa South Carolina,

410
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: and it conjures up memories of for me, the late

411
00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 2: great Jimmy Valvano, who was notorious for having what I

412
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: would consider to be some very entertaining exchanges with referees.

413
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 2: In one particular game, he didn't like the way the

414
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 2: referee was calling the game, so we called a referee

415
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: over and says, hey, buddy, can I ask you a question?

416
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: Can I get a technical just for thinking you suck?

417
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 2: Where he says no, of course not Jimmy, he says, well, good,

418
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: because I think you suck and of course you got

419
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: teed up. Now, why do I bring that up? I

420
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 2: guarantee you you will not be able to observe this

421
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: game Sunday without the final couple of seconds and the

422
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: call being made against Yukon on the offensive side, and

423
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: people lost their minds on Twitter. I just decided to

424
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 2: stay out of it and watch people watch the circular

425
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: firing squad go at it. How can you make that call?

426
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 2: Would you have made that call if it were Iowa?

427
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 2: Would you have made that call if it was earlier

428
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: in the game. Well, if you would have made it

429
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 2: earlier in the game, why do you make it at

430
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: the end. And you'm say blah blah blah blah. You

431
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 2: can't let the ref to side a game. Look, here's

432
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 2: what's interesting that'll be brought up, but you're gonna have

433
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 2: to let it go. Here's what I would rather focus

434
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: on now, if I'm being honest, it wasn't until last

435
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 2: years Iowa South Carolina game that I'd ever heard of

436
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark. Maybe that's on me, fair, but I watched

437
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: that game. I'm not even sure how and why I did,

438
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: but I did. And if you recall, and I bet

439
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: you do. On the very first possession of last season's

440
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: it was a final four matchup, Iowa won put him

441
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: in the finals against that game against LSU, and Angel

442
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: reached that whole deal. On the very first possession of

443
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: last season's final four matchup between Iowa and South Carolina,

444
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 2: I was set up a triangle in two to pack

445
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 2: the paint against South Carolina. When they were on offense,

446
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 2: they were they were more athletic, and what they did,

447
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: they just continued with that same strategy all night. They

448
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 2: were essentially daring the South Carolina game Cocks to shoot

449
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: three pointers. They were giving them open threes at one point,

450
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 2: and this drove a lot of people nuts. And you

451
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: can easily find it on YouTube. Caitlin Clark sagged back

452
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: off of Raven Johnson, a guard for South Carolina, by

453
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: fifteen feet, gave her sort of this dismissive wave instead

454
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: of guarding her atop the key. For whatever reason, Johnson

455
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: refused to shoot and the possession and in a turnover.

456
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: As the game progressed, South Carolina finished four twenty from

457
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 2: behind the ark, but the only lunched by four points.

458
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: This South Carolina team, to me, does look unbeatable. Maybe

459
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: not unbeatable in the same way I think that Yukon

460
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 2: and Danny Hurley is unbeatable. But when you've won seventy

461
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: two the last seventy three games, you look unbeatable. And

462
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: when you look at the physical matchups, I think that

463
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: the number is where it should be as South Carolina

464
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 2: as a six and a half point favorite, But you

465
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: got to play the game. These two teams are media

466
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: game in the National Championship Game in about twelve and

467
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: a half hours in Cleveland, and I think you can

468
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: expect more of the same from Iowa. Hannah Stookey is

469
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: a lone starter over six feet and you have another player,

470
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: Addison O'Grady's six foot four. She may see some minutes,

471
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: but not a lot of the minutes. They're the only starter.

472
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: They're the only two players that are gonna get any

473
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: significant minutes over that are over six feet tall. So

474
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. You know, look, if you look at

475
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: the matchup South Carolina. South Carolina's got a player, a

476
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: guard by the name of Camilla Cardozo, and she's a

477
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: sizeable guard, and really Iowa does not have the personnel

478
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: to guard her one on one. So I think you're

479
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: going to see i will come out with his own

480
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: again and they'll play extensively. You know, they'll play his

481
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: zone for long stretches they're gonna have to, which means

482
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: I believe the owners will be on South Carolina to

483
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: make them pay. And here's the kicker, here's the punchline.

484
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: I believe Raven Johnson and South Carolina and Don Staley

485
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: and the entire team have been preparing for this the

486
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: entire season. Raven Johnson even commented on her She says,

487
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: I think last year was the best thing that ever

488
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: happened to me. Who there was a press conference Saturdays

489
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: because a lot of people probably couldn't happen to handle

490
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 2: what happened to me. But I think, I don't know,

491
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: how do you know that, but I think it may

492
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: be better. It got me in the gym to work

493
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: on my weakness, which was three point shooting, and now

494
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: I think I'm shooting. I can shoot the ball well.

495
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: The numbers bear that out. Last season, Raven Johnson only

496
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: shot twenty four percent from behind the arc. This season,

497
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: she proved almost thirty seven percent. And the game Cocks

498
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: are undefeated. And when you look at their overall performance

499
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: in terms of three points made, three three pointers made

500
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: versus three pointers attempted, they're attempting about three or four

501
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: more three pointers per game this year, and they're making

502
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: about three or four more three pointers per game. But

503
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 2: here's the kicker. They rank third in the country at

504
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: a shooting percentage of behind the arc about just under

505
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: forty percent. So look, if you look at South Carolina

506
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: and the athletes they have and the way they're constructed,

507
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: they still they still prefer to operate from the inside out.

508
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: They're much more prepared to make you pay if they

509
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: lead them open the season again. That's why this matchup

510
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: is going to be so interesting. Plus not the least

511
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 2: of which came Caitlin Clark finished her career with the

512
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: Cherry on Top by going out as a champion. Because

513
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: to Jay Williams, you can't be great unless you win

514
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: a championship. Thanks Jay, I mixed up. I thought you

515
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: had to be smart to go to Duke, but maybe not.

516
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: Look if you watched South Carolina Friday night, you saw

517
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: kind of the perfect example of this new, you know,

518
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: new fangled, updated enhanced offense when in C State tried

519
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: to switch to his own late in the third quarter

520
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: because they were desperate. South Carolina was on a huge run.

521
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: In C State couldn't stop them, so they went to

522
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: the zone. Packed it in. South Carolina properly knocked down

523
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: a couple threes. All that they was increase their lead

524
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: effectively in the game. But like any team that lives

525
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: and dies from the perimeter, shot offense can be fleeting

526
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: the game. Cocks can go cold and the lad eight

527
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: they only shot four to twenty from outside the ark

528
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: against Oregon State. In general, though, South Carolina has truly

529
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: handled the pressure of the tournament because even though they

530
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: shot thirty nine point five percent during the regular season

531
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 2: from behind the arc, they're shooting four to three percent

532
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: from behind the arc in in the tournament. So they're

533
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: going to need to keep that up. This is something

534
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: to watch. They're gonna need to keep that up Sunday

535
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 2: because the zone defense will be coming from Iowa I'm

536
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: convinced they're gonna do it again. And it's and it's

537
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: not just against South Carolina. Iowa has spent just about

538
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: forty percent of their defenseive possessions this year in zone

539
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: and that number will be even higher in the National

540
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: Championship game because I think the Hawkeyes will respect the game,

541
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: you know, the game clock shooters, but they're gonna have

542
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 2: to surrender some threes to help on Cardoso, and they're

543
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: gonna really have to protect the paint because that's really

544
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: where South Carolina lives. South Carolina is going to make

545
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: them pay. So the truth of the matter is Caitlin

546
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: Clark and company, they're going to have a chance to

547
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: pull off a real upset here and lift the trophy

548
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 2: for the first time. Or South Carolina, you know, a team,

549
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 2: a school with great pedigree with the women's basketball. Should

550
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: they prevail Sunday, that'll actually be their third national title

551
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: in school history, and then second in three years. So

552
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 2: you've got a matchup here, You've got storylines, you've got

553
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: potential revenge. You've got a team who's been pointing towards

554
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: this game by their road admission. I think it makes

555
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: I think it makes for a hell of a matchup,

556
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 2: and after Monday, well you know, another year of postseason

557
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: college basketball will be in the books, otherwise known as

558
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: March Madness, twenty days of Bliss as it were. But

559
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: coming up, if you don't have enough college postseason basketball,

560
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: well you might be surprised to hear what Fox has

561
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: on the docket for next season. With a new tournament

562

572
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 2: we dive into the world of the NBA. The future

573
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: always has a way of arriving ahead of schedule, and

574
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 2: believe it or not, a week from today, as we

575
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 2: now are into Sunday and most of my time zones,

576
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: the NBA regular season comes to an end and most

577
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: of the teams only have four or five games left,

578
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 2: not the least of which of the Lakers, which are

579
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 2: trying to get out of that nine to ten slot

580
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: and get into that seven eight. We'll discuss that and

581
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 2: many other things with Mark Medina. Also later in the show,

582
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: we're going to get heavily into well, the Oakland Athletics

583
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 2: now have a bridge between their final season at Oakland

584
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: Allabinia County Coliseum and twenty twenty eight before they get

585
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: to Las Vegas. And yes, Tropicana closed their doors for

586
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 2: good this past Tuesday, so it's on who actually won

587
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 2: the Stefan Digs trade. We'll talk about that. While the

588
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: Cowboys so willing to perhaps deal with the you know,

589
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 2: allowed Dak Prescott to plow the final year of his contract,

590
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 2: I still want to get into the Yukon Purdue matchup.

591
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: Plus again, course later in the show, we've got what

592
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool of you? And what my name?

593
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: Monday Night? I was right six twenty pm Pacific, nine

594
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 2: to twenty Eastern or when Yukon and Purdue will tip

595
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: it off for all the marbles in any way, slice

596
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 2: it history is going to be made, and that'll be

597
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 2: yet for college basketball for another the year. But next year,

598
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: at this time, if you don't have enough madness in March,

599
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: well I've got some news from you. The madness of

600
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: March might take on a whole new meaning this time

601
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 2: next year. Well, I don't want to oversell it, but

602
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: it's something You've already got this sort of muddle landscape

603
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: for postseason in college basketball because over the years we've

604
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: had the traditional NCAA tournament of course, the NIT, the CBI,

605
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 2: the CIT, all this alphabet soup, but there's always room

606
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: for one more, right at least according to Fox Sports

607
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 2: and AEG, they've already finalized plans. It's finalized. Next year

608
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 2: at this time, ladies and gentlemen, rebring you the College

609
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: Basketball Crown, a new sixteen teen tournament that's coming to

610
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: a town near you, as long as that town is

611
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, where I live. Yes, apparently this development has

612
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: been many months, you know, in process, and it will

613
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: basically feature teams well obviously that do not qualify for

614
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 2: the traditional NCAA March Madness tournament. However, if you are

615
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: remember the Big Ten, the Big Twelve, or the Big East,

616
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: you will each have two guaranteed slots for their member

617
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: schools and then the remaining ten teams will the bracket

618
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: will be filled out. Whether there are you know, other

619
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: at large participants. Now here's a kicker. Even though it's

620
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 2: a sixteen team tournament. The games will be played one

621
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 2: seven day stretch, that's it, over one seven day stretch

622
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: between March thirty first and April sixth at the MGM

623
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 2: Grand Guard Arena, where, of course there have been tournaments

624
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: over the years and a t mobile arena or a

625
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: glorious arena here with the Golden Knights play, and there

626
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 2: have been regional games here and then of course the

627
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 2: NBA had their n season tournaments, semi finals and finals

628
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 2: there and they will be aired. You'll be able to

629
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: watch Simon on TV to be aired exclusively on Fox

630
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: and FS one. The timing again will be between the

631
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 2: Elite eight and the championship game and the men's March

632
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: Madness Tournament between March thirty first and April sixth. Now,

633
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: what this does really, there's I think an ulterior motive here.

634
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: It allows Fox to extend their relationship with the Big Ten,

635
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 2: the Big twelve in the Big East, and those are

636
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: three conferences where Fox already holds current TV deals that

637
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: are you know, span multi years. It also gives Fox

638
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: an opportunity to be involved in postseason college basketball because

639
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: basically men's March Madness rights are held by CBS and

640
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers, Now and Discovery has part of the they

641
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 2: have skin in the game through twenty thirty two, and

642
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 2: esp and Real where they recently renewed their rights for

643
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: the Women's March Madness through the same season to twenty

644
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 2: thirty two. So basically Fox Sports is saying, we want

645
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: to evolve the sport. We want to elevate the sport

646
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 2: one casualty. Though you wonder how is it it's going

647
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: to affect the n IT. It's got to be a

648
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 2: blow of the n which has been a prestigious tournament

649
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: since nineteen thirty eight. It's operated by the NCAA, it's

650
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: owned by ESPN, aired by ESPN. But the NIT is

651
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: now in the weeks of the condition they've been and

652
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 2: seventeen schools were have said to decline the invitations to

653
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: the NIT this past year. Ouch. So look, we know what,

654
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 2: this tournament's not going to have the Laura March Madness

655
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: or the lineage of the nit but the college basketball

656
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: crown another reason to watch and bet and enjoy postseason

657

673

674
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 2: Mark Medina r Fox Sports Radio, NBA Guru keeps us

675
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: up to date has this finger on the pulse of

676
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: all things NBA. Mark. Seems like the season's been a blur.

677
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: We've got about a week to go. We've got a

678
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 2: lot to get to. Are tonight I am doing Wow.

679
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 8: Look our HUD's going to continue to spend because I

680
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 8: think in the next week, the standings race, it's going

681
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 8: to all be shuffling around like it's scrabble.

682
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 2: I want to dive into that, but before I do,

683
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: some very interesting Reportanja, I believe by you. Is it

684
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 2: true that a particular Clipper might have a cheat code

685
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: when it comes to card should he have opened his mouth?

686
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 8: That is true? Clippers center of Viza zubats I spoke

687
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 8: with me for a Q and a piece for sports Keta,

688
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 8: and you know, I showed him some of the tracking

689
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 8: data that indicates that when he defended Nicole Jokic, you

690
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 8: know the Denver Nuggets Center as well as Sacramento King

691
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 8: Center Demonte Sebonis, he did pretty well. Now hear me out.

692
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 8: Jokic was held thirteen to thirty nine, s Bonus eleven

693
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 8: for thirty five during the possessions that zubats has guarded him.

694
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 8: And he told me you know, I found some things

695
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 8: that I don't want to share that will help me.

696
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 8: I figured some stuff out. But they are still great players.

697
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,959
Speaker 8: You can do everything well in defense, but they still

698
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 8: might be hitting shots. But you know what, I think

699
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 8: it's telling because the Clippers are treading in the right direction. Well.

700
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 8: They do have some you know, question marks about Kawhi

701
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 8: Leonard's health, as they always do. They have been playing

702
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 8: much better defensively and that might really start with the

703
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 8: Vita Zubots and how well he could limit guys like

704
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 8: Jokich and some bonus in the playoffs.

705
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 2: And from observation, it's just a matter of getting physical.

706
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 2: Isn't that really what it comes down to do Not

707
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 2: to be too simplistic.

708
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 8: No, I mean that's what ty Woo exactly said. The

709
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 8: Clippers coach that Zobots and everyone else has been a

710
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 8: lot more physical as of late. And when you look

711
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 8: at playoff basketball, that's the name of the game. The

712
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 8: game slows down. It's more of a grinding out of

713
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 8: fair the officials hold their whistles. So you know, there's

714
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 8: a lot of things that go into a seven game

715
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 8: playoffs series. The physicalities up at the top.

716
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 2: Let's digress for just a second. The word Kawhi Leonard

717
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 2: and health issues is send shivers through anybody who's observed

718
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 2: the NBA the last seven years, because, let's face it out,

719
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to speak out of school mark, but

720
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 2: if Kawhi Leonard's not one hundred percent, Clippers got no shot?

721
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: Is that fair?

722
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 8: It is fair? And hear me out, Bernie. He's already

723
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 8: been ruled out for the Clippers game against the Cavaliers

724
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 8: on Sunday afternoon, and they're saying it's right knee inflammation.

725
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 8: Now this is his fourth game that he's going to miss.

726
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 8: And how about this for a semantics exercise. He originally

727
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 8: had right knee soreness and all of a sudden, now

728
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 8: it's right knee inflammation. I'm not a doctor, but inflammation

729
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 8: sounds worse than soreness. Now, Tylou had said he's technically

730
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 8: day to day, but you know what, aren't we all

731
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 8: day to day? So what I'm gonna say, it's just

732
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 8: wild here, you know, in fairness to Kwi, he's been

733
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 8: a lot healthier this season as there's always been a

734
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 8: lot more productive. But whenever you're talking about injury as

735
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 8: a matter serious or minor. You always got her raise

736
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 8: your antenta up with him.

737
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: Talking with Mark Medina Medina Magic, Fox Sports Radio every

738
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 2: Saturday night here the Bernie Freders Show at midnight on

739
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. NBA Guru, listen, this does not sound good.

740
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 2: My daughter played Division one soccer. She tore aco three

741
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 2: times and it's it's it was a tough deal. Anytime

742
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 2: you hear a knee in inflammation, it doesn't happen for

743
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 2: no reason that signifies injury. Are they draining the knee?

744
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 2: Is there fluid? I mean, can they share anything else?

745
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 2: Because that does not sound good.

746
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 8: Mark, No, I mean Tylu doesn't share anything. Hoopers never

747
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 8: share anything. They just say that he's getting better, there's

748
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 8: optimism is going to come back soon. But he's day

749
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 8: to day. So I'm not saying that this is related

750
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 8: to the aco. I would actually be very surprised if

751
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 8: it is.

752
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 2: I'm playing with that. I'm not implaying instead. But there

753
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: can be other injuries. But if there's inflammation, it doesn't

754
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: happen for no reason.

755
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 8: Oh no, no, no, no, that's fair. But well it's gonna

756
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 8: say is even though these injuries I think are completely different.

757
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 8: Hear me out when he tore his aco in the

758
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 8: twenty twenty one playoffs. They're listening him as day to day.

759
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 8: They're even holding the window open that he would play

760
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 8: at some point in the Western Conference Finals against Phoenix

761
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 8: and maybe travel with them with the team on road games.

762
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 8: They would finally concede he hadn't been traveling with the team,

763
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 8: but at that point he would say he's day to day.

764
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 8: And I was on these zoom calls because this is

765
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,919
Speaker 8: during the you know, the peak of the pandemic era,

766
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 8: and I'm asking ty Lou, Okay, what's the training of

767
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 8: staff indicated to you on what progress he's made, what

768
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 8: are the next steps? And I tell you those interviews,

769
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 8: it looked like he was in a hostage video. He

770
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 8: was just he was just staring at the screen, giving

771
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 8: a blank stare, you know, having a nervous laugh and saying, yeah,

772
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 8: I don't really know much and then lo and behold.

773
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 8: You know, a month after the season ends, they announced

774
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 8: that he had a procedure to address a torn acl So, yeah,

775
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 8: I'm not saying it's the same kind of injury. What

776
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 8: I'm saying is the Clippers are very cagy with their information.

777
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're not fooling anybody, And it doesn't have

778
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 2: to be an ACL to cause inflammation, and I don't

779
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: care what happens. You repair an ACL, your knees never

780
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 2: really truly the same. Again, but let's go back to

781
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 2: an earlier comment you mentioned that Kawhi would not be

782
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: able to play against Cleveland. The Lakers looked very impressive

783
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 2: against Cleveland earlier Saturday, and there've now won nine of ten.

784
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 2: They appear to be a very confident team. What has

785
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 2: been the impetus behind their resurgence because they're not only winning,

786
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 2: they actually look very impressive in the last ten games.

787
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's been a combination of a perfect

788
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 8: storm of Lebron James playing at his best and healthy.

789
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 8: Same thing with Anthony Davis as well as some of

790
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 8: the role players, I think most notably D'Angel Russell Rouy

791
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 8: at Chamora and Austin Reeves. And it couldn't come at

792
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 8: a better time because they're trying to jockey for playoff

793
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 8: seedings right now. They're eighth in the West. They moved

794
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 8: up a spot today, but that could very well change

795
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 8: New Orleans. They're only a half game ahead of them

796
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 8: for the seventh spot. They've lost four in a row.

797
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 8: The Pelicans already announced that Brandon Ingram is going to

798
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 8: miss at least two more games with his injury that

799
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 8: sidelined them for almost a month now or three weeks,

800
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 8: and so while Laker fans have since replied to my

801
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 8: timeline saying, well, that means he's going to return for

802
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 8: the season finale against the Lakers at least in the

803
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 8: next two games. There is more of an opportunity for

804
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 8: the Lakers to make up ground now they play Minnesota

805
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 8: Sunday night. They're a tough team. They're second in the

806
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 8: West right now, only a half game behind Denver for first.

807
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 8: But the Lakers are rolling much similar to the way

808
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 8: that they're rolling at the lend of last season. Now,

809
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 8: in fairness, does that mean they're going to get to

810
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 8: the Western Conference finals? I guess you never rule anything out,

811
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 8: but I'm gonna wait and see, mode because the Western

812
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 8: Conference landscape is a lot more loaded and competitive than

813
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 8: last season. And last season was competitive, but you just

814
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 8: got to add you know, Minnesota, Oklahoma City and a

815
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 8: better Dallas Mavericks team in the mix. So it's going

816
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 8: to be tough sledting from here on out.

817
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 2: I'm glad you used the word competitive, because if you

818
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 2: look at the West standings, there's only two games that

819
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 2: separate Phoenix them six and Sacramento at number nine. So

820
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 2: the Lakers have four games left. You just mentioned they

821
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 2: played the Timberwolves later tonight, and then I believe they

822
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 2: host Goolden State on Tuesday. Then they finished on the

823
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 2: road against Memphis on Friday, New Orleans a week from today.

824
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: During the regular season, the Lakers are only six and

825
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 2: six against those teams. However, this team looks different. What

826
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 2: do you expect to happen between now and next Sunday?

827
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 8: Well, I guess you could flip a coin with anything.

828
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 8: The only defensive I would say is they're going to

829
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 8: be Memphis. They're not good this year. You know, what

830
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 8: are they playing for now? You know, they obviously have

831
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 8: to bring the effort against them. But Minnesota, Golden State,

832
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 8: New Orleans. The Lakers have shown them they can beat

833
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 8: all those teams, but they they've also shown that they

834
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 8: could lose to all those teams. And I think when

835
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 8: you're looking at those quality of teams, not only are

836
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 8: they really good teams, but they also have it instead

837
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 8: of Minnesota. You know, they're trying to get home court

838
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 8: advantage and move up in the standings over Denver, while

839
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 8: Denver you know, doesn't want to conceive they're prioritizing health

840
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 8: more than anything else. You're looking at Golden State. They've

841
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 8: solidified themselves since they're going to make the play in,

842
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 8: but they want to create separation, so maybe that they

843
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 8: have home court advantage at the ninth spot. And then

844
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 8: New Orleans, as I mentioned before, they currently are half

845
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 8: a game above the Lakers. They want to get home

846
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 8: court advantage in the plan, if not, maybe sneak into

847
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 8: a sixth spot, but the Sun's currently have that right

848
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 8: now after winning three games in a row. So what

849
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 8: I'm saying is these are going to be tough games

850
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 8: and with exception the Memphis game, and you know, the

851
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 8: good sign is the Lakers are playing their best basketball

852
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 8: right now. The bad sign is the Lakers have shown

853
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 8: that they have dueling personalities on a game the game basis.

854
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 8: So I guess we just got to huddle up and see.

855
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 8: It's going to be exciting either way.

856
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 2: Wrapping it up with Mark Medina Magic Sherry Saturday night

857
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Frattle Show Fox Sports Radio. He's our

858
00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio NBA guru, it's only natural that people

859
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 2: want to project and look ahead, and so people are

860
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 2: sort of I'll say this in air quotes penciling in

861
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: Denver and Boston. But I think if Joel Embiid is

862
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 2: healthy Philadelphia, it could be dangerous. But that's a big if.

863
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 2: But that's not the reason I brought up the Sixers.

864
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 2: Friday night, Apparently the Sixers were fined one hundred grands

865
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 2: for violating the league's injury reporting rules. Explain to the

866
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: folks what that all means, because to me it's a

867
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 2: little vague.

868
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 8: Well, I think what it was was that they originally

869
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:35,760
Speaker 8: listed Joel embiidus out in last week's game against Oklahoma City,

870
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 8: and so people thought, Okay, he's definitely out, and then

871
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 8: lean into game time, he all of a sudden made

872
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 8: his return. Now, things are always subject to change, but

873
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 8: the NBA doesn't take finally to how they listed him

874
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 8: because they have to update those reports pretty frequently, and

875
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 8: they didn't know until lead in the tip off that

876
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 8: he was going to play. So the NBA fined the

877
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 8: Sixers according accordingly, one hundred thousand. Now there's a lot

878
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 8: of tentacles to this. Some of it is to guard

879
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 8: against you know, load management and teams exaggerating the severity

880
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 8: of injuries. I think there's no way around it. There's

881
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 8: also the gambling aspect and people, the fact that people

882
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 8: are putting, you know, wagers and prompt bets on games

883
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 8: and player performances. So yeah, that's that's where we are

884
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 8: at this. It's not the first time the Sixers have

885
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 8: been fined and suspecting how things would play out, certainly

886
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 8: not the last time either.

887
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 2: Well, and that's why I brought it up because two

888
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 2: years ago, during the playoffs against Miami, Philly was fined

889
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 2: fifty grand for the same violation for the same player,

890
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid. He came back to the court in a

891
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 2: similar manner for Game three of a playoff series against Miami.

892
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:46,280
Speaker 2: Doesn't Philly learn their lesson?

893
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 8: Well, I think, you know. I think what the Sixers

894
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 8: would tell you is that circumstances change. The injury is

895
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 8: very fluid. You're talking about things changing in real time.

896
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 8: But I think from the outsider's perspective, with people around

897
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 8: the league might suspect is that they think, you know,

898
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 8: what the gamesmanship is worth the cost of doing business.

899
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 8: So this fine. You know, it's attacks for trying to

900
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 8: have a competitive advantage.

901
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 2: Mark, good stuff. I'm assuming you'll be at the Timberwolves

902
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: game later tonight.

903
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 8: Yes, sir, I will also be at the Clippers Cleveland

904
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 8: game as well, so funny, Oh yep, And I.

905
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 2: Know the Clippers would be more of a topic. And

906
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 2: we'll have you on Wednesday n I'll be sitting in

907
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 2: for Ben Mallor. Both teams in LA managed to take

908
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 2: up a lot of air in the room, and I

909
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 2: think for good reason. So I'm watching the playoffs for

910
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 2: no other reason than to see how far the LA

911
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: teams go.

912
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, it's really gonna be interesting because either

913
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 8: LA team could follow either path. Both could be first

914
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 8: round flameouts, or both could advance the Western Conference finals

915
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 8: and face off each other for an LA showdown.

916
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 2: It should be fun, good stuff, Mark Joy the rest

917
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 2: of your weekend, the doubleheader on Sunday, and we'll talk

918
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: to you Wednesday night.

919
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 8: All right, looking forward to.

920
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,280
Speaker 2: It's Mart mndein Madina, Magic or Fox Sports Radio NBA Guru.

921
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 2: He covers all things NBA for you. Hear them all

922
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 2: around the network. Coming up, let's look ahead yukon versus Perdue.

923
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 2: The lines, the odds, are predictions, and some things to

924
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 2: watch as it tips off six twenty pm Pacific on

925
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 2: Monday Night for all the marbles. Number one versus Number One,

926
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 2: Yukon versus Perdue. I'm Bernie Frattle or comedy line from

Speaker 2: the tarat dot com studios here in Las Vegas. Take

932
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 2: you up to three am Pacific, six am Eastern. A

933
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 2: lot of stuff to get to Monday night, six twenty

934
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 2: pm Pacific, nine to twenty Eastern. Yukon versus Perdue. You know,

935
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 2: it's the beauty of sports. You can script everything, but

936
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 2: the ending. We have Number one versus Number one, and

937
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,720
Speaker 2: in many ways, if if you look back in retrospect,

938
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 2: this is probably the best matchup when you consider all

939
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 2: the wonderful storylines, in the fact that these two teams

940
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 2: really deserve to be there, and it's a real contrast.

941
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 2: Number one Yukon Number one Perdue again tip off nine

942
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 2: to twenty Pacific Monday State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, Yukon.

943
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 2: They're thirty six and three. They have a chance to

944
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 2: become the first school to win back to back national

945
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 2: championships since Florida did in six and seven. You got

946
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: there Saturday Night beat Alabama by fourteen eighty six seventy two.

947
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley has a talented roster. They're well coached, they

948
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 2: play hard. There's connectivity on this team of the likes

949
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 2: I haven't seen in decades, and they've mowed through the

950
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 2: first four rounds and now in the first five rounds

951
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 2: of the tournament. When you look at Tristan Newton and

952
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 2: Donovan Klingen and Stefan Cassel are becoming household names. They

953
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 2: are marquee players. But what is a very balanced scoring

954
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 2: starting lineup where all five starters scored in double digits

955
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: Saturday night. Meanwhile, Purdue the Rodney dangerfield. I believe of

956
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 2: this tournament, having lost to a number sixteen seed last year.

957
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 2: I don't know why people can't just enjoy what Zachy

958
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 2: is doing without whether without projecting whether or not he's

959
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 2: going to play in the NBA. I don't know. I

960
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 2: think you'll have a role on a roster. I think,

961
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 2: if I'm being honest, his lateral movement maybe needs to

962
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 2: be a little quicker. However, let's not do that. He's

963
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 2: seven to four, two times Sporting News Player of the Year.

964
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 2: He's dominated the tournament, and I think the Boilermakers have

965
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:43,439
Speaker 2: truly silenced their critics, including me. I was one of them.

966
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 2: I respected them. I just never thought I did not

967
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 2: have him in my final four. I gotta take my medicine,

968
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,720
Speaker 2: and I'm happy they're there. I think it's a great story.

969
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 2: Will Matt Painter bring this school a long waited national

970
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 2: championship and their Big Ten drought? By the way, a

971
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 2: Big Ten team has a one since two thousand when

972
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 2: Tom Izzo beat Florida and Teddy Dupe and in what

973
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 2: was a very good game, but Michigan State was never

974
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 2: in doubt and Zach Randolph team and Team Klees. Here's

975
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 2: what you basically need to know versus you know with

976
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 2: Yukon versus Perdue Monday. By the way, it's not often,

977
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 2: It's really not often, even though it's happened twice in

978
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 2: the last six years that number one versus Number one matchups,

979
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 2: even matchup be in the final four, much less the

980
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 2: final game. Now, I recall three years ago Gonzaga lost

981
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 2: to Baylor by sixteen. Of course, I'm not so sure

982
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 2: how much they had the tank after that overtime game

983
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 2: against UCLA and Saturday night. But be that as it may,

984
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 2: take nothing away from Baylor. As Kevin Figures would say,

985
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 2: they molly wopped Gonzaga. They were number one versus number one.

986
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 2: Back in twenty seventeen, number one North Carolina tar Heels

987
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 2: beat Gonzaga in the finals seventy one sixty five. But

988
00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 2: before that you had to go back all the way

989
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 2: to two thousand and I was there my last year

990
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 2: in Michigan covered the final four. That's the year that

991
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 2: North Carolina destroyed Michigan State in the final game. However,

992
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 2: in the semi final game, number one Duke faced off

993
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 2: against number one Wisconsin beat him seventy three to sixty nine.

994
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 2: Who can forget the epic two thousand game in two

995
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 2: thousand and eight. Checked that in two thousand and eight

996
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 2: number one Kansas versus number one Memphis when Memphis couldn't

997
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 2: make a free throw and John Caliperi got very defensive,

998
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 2: game ends up going overtime. Kansas wins by seven. And oh,

999
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 2: by the way, the last team to repeat Billy Donovan's

1000
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 2: number one Florida Gators had to beat number one overall

1001
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 2: Ohio State that year in the final game, eighty four

1002
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 2: to seventy five. And I don't want to keep going

1003
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 2: through the rest of these. The Chris Webber timeout game

1004
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 2: was number one versus Number one in nineteen ninety three,

1005
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 2: and of course Michael Jordan's championship in North Carolina nineteen

1006
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 2: eighty two and Ontown Freddie Brown, poor guy made that

1007
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 2: Aaron pass and Georgetown lost by one sixty three sixty two.

1008
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 2: But we're going back forty three years. What about his name?

1009
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 2: Six to seven games? So number one doesn't face number

1010
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 2: one very often in the final four, much less the

1011
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 2: final game. Let's look at Donovan Klingen, the other seven

1012
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 2: footer in the game. It's one of five Yukon players

1013
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 2: who average double figures. But you can bet Donovan Klingen

1014
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 2: is going to be the focal point leading up to

1015
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 2: the matchup, in tip off and when the game starts

1016
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 2: Monday night, because he'll be going toe to toe with

1017
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 2: Zach Eedy. Klingon is averaging fourteen a game, nine rebounds

1018
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 2: in the tournament, hate eight blocks against Northwestern. I understand

1019
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 2: he's dealing with the right hand injury that suffered in practice,

1020
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 2: but it didn't appear to affect his play Saturday night

1021
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 2: in the semi finals. Yukon has an incredible well rounded

1022
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 2: starting five. You start out with All American point guard

1023
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,919
Speaker 2: Kristin Newton, Tristan nut excuse me, now, this year he's

1024
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 2: been a little bit more of a facilitator, especially in

1025
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 2: the last couple of rounds. That's a good thing. That

1026
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 2: speaks to the teamwork and the connectivity and the culture

1027
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley has built. Alex Carabon, Cam Spencer, key role players,

1028
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 2: Deefon Cassel. He was the breakout player of the Star

1029
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 2: against Alabamo. He had twenty nine points, twenty one points.

1030
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 2: I get it. The bench is not deep, but if

1031
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 2: you have to go to the bench, they have another

1032
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 2: six foot ten player Samson Johnson. He's another post player

1033
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 2: and they can all run the floor. Back to Zach

1034
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 2: Edy zed Edy Saturday night, Oh nothing, another double double,

1035
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 2: twenty points, twelve rebounds against Since eas State, Zach Edy

1036
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 2: is averaging in the tournament now through five games, averaging

1037
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 2: twenty eight points and fifteen rebounds. That's just tough. Legends

1038
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 2: are made of gif the man is due. A total

1039
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 2: of ten players in history and the NCAA tournament have

1040
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty points in a single tournament, and

1041
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 2: only eleven have eighty rebounds. Eadie after the championship game

1042
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 2: could join both of those lists. Now, who are produced

1043
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 2: key players against Yukon? Bradon Smith would like to forget

1044
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 2: Saturday Night semi final game. He had a rough game.

1045
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 2: Terrific player, rough game. One A nine from the floor,

1046
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 2: five first half turnovers? What was up with that? Over

1047
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 2: and back on the timeline in half court? What's up

1048
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 2: with that? He didn't look like Braydon Smith Saturday Night,

1049
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 2: Lance Jones, Fletcher Lawyer. They did combined for twenty nine points.

1050
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 2: They were seven to fourteen from behind the art. You

1051
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 2: also got a couple other stud forwards, Trey Coffin, Ren

1052
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 2: Mason Gillens both had double doubles. Okay, the boiler Makers

1053
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 2: do not have a deprotation either, but they have enough

1054
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 2: playmakers and they build everything around Zach Edy. What's my prediction.

1055
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 2: It's no secret what Purdue's gonna do. The off friends

1056
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 2: runs through Zed Jack Edy in the paint. The matchup

1057
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 2: with Klingon is going to be the focus and Edie

1058
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 2: zach Edy. By the way, here's another stat. You know.

1059
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 2: They say Wilt Chamberlain has never follow out of a

1060
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 2: game in his career. Zach Edy has not fallout of

1061
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 2: a game his entire season. Matter of fact, he hasn't

1062
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 2: even had four files since mid February Perdue against the

1063
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 2: wolf Pack Saturday night, made forty percent of his threes.

1064
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,919
Speaker 2: That's the formula they're going to have to use around

1065
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 2: Zach Edy if they're gonna have a chance to beat Yukon.

1066
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 2: The thing that Purdue can't do is turn the ball over.

1067
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 2: They turned the ball over sixteen times against the wolf Pack.

1068
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 2: And when the when in Yukon can be very pesky.

1069
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 2: They're very active, and they take away space and they

1070
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 2: play a little sometimes a little bit of a high

1071
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 2: risk reward defense. They'll jump, you know, passing lanes. This

1072
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 2: is something to note. I'm not implying the Boilermakers are

1073
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 2: going to have a bunch of turnovers Monday night, but

1074
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 2: they could when they have fourteen turnovers and more. They've

1075
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 2: done that four times this year. They're two and two

1076
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 2: they're two and two. You cannot be that sloppy with

1077
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 2: the ball against the Huskies. Yukon play against two Big

1078
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 2: ten teams in the tournament this year, Northwestern and Illinois,

1079
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 2: so the cross conference style of play isn't going to

1080
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 2: matter much. One thing about Yukon. They've not shot the

1081
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 2: three pointer well in the tournament. Coming into Saturday's game

1082
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 2: against Bama, they were only shooting at thirty percent, but

1083
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 2: they hit ten or twenty five against Alabama, so they

1084
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 2: do have that in their bailiwick, as it were. Hey,

1085
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 2: like a lot of games is going to come down

1086
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 2: to defense and rebounding, and it's going to be a

1087
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 2: team effort for both teams, the Huskies particularly. The bigger

1088
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 2: question is with Edie in the middle for producers, not

1089
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 2: about letting Yukon get the game changing runs that just

1090
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 2: completely dominated Illinois and Alabama in the last two rounds.

1091
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 2: How will Zach Edy potentially Yukon alter and alter shots

1092
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 2: coming from the Yukon offense. That's something to watch and

1093
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 2: it would not surprise me if it takes a little

1094
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 2: longer for the Huskies to set up. But this is

1095
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 2: where Danny Hurley is such a genius they'll make the

1096
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 2: right adjustments at halftime. I think if both teams score

1097
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 2: under seventy five points, it's going to be a close game.

1098
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 2: But I still look at it this way. I think

1099
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 2: Yukon wins and I think it's right around the number

1100
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 2: six and a half. Seven. That's my take, and yes,

1101
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 2: I am sticking to it. Coming up at the top

1102
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 2: of the hour, we've really got to dive into this

1103
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 2: Oakland A situation. There are a lot of questions, there

1104
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 2: are decisions that have been made, but first I want

1105
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 2: to look back. You know, the NFL has a way

1106
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 2: of never staying out of the news. In any professional sport,

1107
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 2: you have a compelling trade. There are three possible situations.

1108
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 2: The Stefan Diggs trade garnered a lot of attention this

1109
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 2: week and for good reason, and I'm going to dive

1110
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 2: into it coming up. But first let's go back to

1111
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 2: our guy, Kevin Wired with the latest the chef. Yeah.

1112
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 6: NCAA Men's basketball Final Four on Saturday. A year after

1113
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 6: Purdue was upset, they are actually now in the national

1114
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 6: championship game.

1115
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 7: The team the lost last year to a sixteen will

1116
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 7: play on Monday for a national title. Purdue sixty three

1117
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 7: North Carolina State fifty.

1118
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 6: Kevin Coogler and Westwood One Radio with the call as

1119
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 6: the boiler Makers get the win behind twenty points and

1120
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 6: twelve rebounds from Zach Edy. They advance to take on

1121
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 6: a top ranked Yukon as they get by Alabama eighty

1122
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 6: six seventy two, yet another double digit victory for the Huskies.

1123
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 6: They have done so in every game so far this tournament,

1124
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 6: and this game was tied with twelve minutes to go.

1125
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 6: Women's college basketball, top seeded, top rank South Carolina trying

1126
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 6: to finish a perfect season as they take on the

1127
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 6: Iowa Hawkeyes and superstar Caitlin Clark. Iowa Summi Vinyl victory

1128
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 6: against Yukon fourteen point.

1129
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 2: Two million viewers.

1130
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 6: That's a new record for a women's college basketball Women's

1131
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:08,439
Speaker 6: basketball in general broadcast the NBA regular season. It ends

1132
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 6: a week from Sunday. The Lakers have won nine out

1133
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 6: of ten. After they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers won sixteen

1134
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 6: to ninety seven the Brooklyn Nets. They trailed the Detroit

1135
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 6: Pistons by fifteen points with only seven and a half

1136
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 6: minutes ago, but they rally to beat Detroit won thirteen

1137
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 6: a two, one oh three Sixers over the Grizzlies won

1138
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 6: sixteen ninety six. Joel and Beat a solid game with

1139
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 6: thirty points as the seventy six ers looking much better

1140
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 6: with him back in the line up. Denver gets a

1141
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 6: big shooting performance as a team sixty percent as they

1142
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 6: take down the Atlanta Hawks won forty two to one.

1143
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 2: Ten.

1144
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 6: NHL regular season ends April eighteenth. The Boston Bruins overtime

1145
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 6: winners against the Florida Panthers three to the New York

1146
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 6: Islanders shout out Nashville too nothing. The Winnipeg Jets winners

1147
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 6: at Minnesota four to two.

1148
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 2: Back to Burney. All right, Jeff, you were in that

1149
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 2: voice up. Oh yes, you'll be performing about an hour

1150
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 2: from now, Yes, sir, all right, buddy, good stuff, Thank you.

1151
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Stefan Diggs trade. Now, obviously, in

1152
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 2: any trade, there are people who handicap, not literally, but figuredly.

1153
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 2: Who are the winners are and who are the losers?

1154
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 2: Because when you have a what I consider to be

1155
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 2: a high profile trade, and this was Stefan Diggs, you know,

1156
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 2: going from Buffalo to Houston, and I thought he left

1157
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 2: Minnesota in somewhat in ceremonious fashion, you do have superstar

1158
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 2: name power. You have what I think could theoretically be

1159
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 2: a power shift, a real power shift considering what Houston

1160
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 2: has already been able to accomplish. And you have a

1161
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 2: little drama thrown in, depending on your perspective, it could

1162
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 2: be mild drama, melodrama, or extreme drama. If you are

1163
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 2: honestly breaking down the Stefan Diggs deal, it's got all

1164
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 2: three unpack for starters. To be honest, the Texans are getting,

1165
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 2: at least in theory, a superstar. And if you love

1166
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 2: the strategy the Texans in their offseason, the modern NFL

1167
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 2: will the incentivized teams with great young quarterbacks to maximize

1168
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 2: their contention windows. Because when the best thing is you

1169
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 2: can have in the NFL as a star quarterback like

1170
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 2: a cyj Stroft who's still in a rookie contract, he's

1171
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 2: entering a second season, he's already a pro bowler. And

1172
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 2: the Texans have been very aggressive this offseason, never more

1173
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 2: so than this past week. They instantly go from dark

1174
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 2: horse contender to you have to say this now, if

1175
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 2: Stefon Diggs can play like he's capable of, you have

1176
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,919
Speaker 2: to say Houston is on the short list to get

1177
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 2: to the AFC Championship Game. Why not? But hold that

1178
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 2: thought because in spite of all of this, the drama

1179
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 2: still follows Stefon Diggs. Fair or not, Buffalo clearly wanted

1180
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs. He's only thirty years old, which, depending on

1181
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 2: your perspective, could be old for a receiver. I don't

1182
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 2: think so. It's an individual thing. But don't give me

1183
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 2: any crap. Buffalo wanted Stefan Diggs out of the building period.

1184
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 2: He wanted them off the roster. There was frustration on

1185
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 2: both sides. In theory, Stefan Diggs can be a top

1186
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 2: five receiver when things are going great, but his annex

1187
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:28,719
Speaker 2: and Buffalo show he can get testy when something goes wrong. Now,

1188
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 2: Buffalo had kind of a late surge last season after

1189
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 2: some folks had sort of given up on them, but

1190
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 2: they prove the offense could thrive even with Stefan Diggs

1191
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 2: basically fading into the background. I mean, if you look

1192
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 2: at this further, the compensation kind of tells the story

1193
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 2: and it really underscores how much they really wanted to

1194
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 2: get rid. Buffalo was ready to get rid of Stefan Diggs.

1195
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 2: Their compensation one second round pick. Well, if Stefan Diggs

1196
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 2: is considered wide receiver one, that's not commensurate compensation, is it.

1197
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 2: Buffalo also chose to accept the thirty one million in

1198
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 2: dead cap space in order to get rid of him.

1199
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 2: The relationship was over. Okay, and I didn't really follow

1200
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 2: this story, but there was some alleged passive aggressive tweet

1201
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 2: about Josh Allen on Tuesday that Diggs had made. I

1202
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 2: didn't see it, so I'm not going to comment on it.

1203
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 2: Just heard about it. We'll leave it there. Frankly, I

1204
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 2: think the Bills might be better off without Stevan Diggs,

1205
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 2: but they do need to fill a hole in that

1206
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 2: wide out. So here's what's kind of cool about this.

1207
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 2: As luck would have it, guess what Buffalo does play

1208
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:51,679
Speaker 2: Houston during the regular season. The game will be played

1209
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 2: at Houston. Circle that one on your calendar. It might

1210
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 2: be fun to watch. But if you look at the

1211
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 2: revisionist history here, Diggs had been and openly frustrated, openly

1212
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 2: with the Bills on numerous occasions all the way going

1213
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 2: back since the end of the twenty twenty two season.

1214
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 2: You know, he is a guy, Stefan Diggs who's been

1215
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 2: to four Pro Bowls. But when the Bills began their

1216
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:20,719
Speaker 2: offseason program heading into last season, where was Stefan Diggs.

1217
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 2: He was absent. That was a telltale sign. He also

1218
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 2: never really gave a reason, and there were reports that

1219
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs was unhappy with his role in Buffalo's offense. Now,

1220
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 2: let's not forget Stefan diggs production significantly fell off last

1221
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 2: season after the Bills fired their former offensive coordinator Ken

1222
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 2: Dorsey and promoted Joe Brady. Diggs did not have a

1223
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 2: single one hundred yard game after Week six, although he

1224
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,640
Speaker 2: did manage to finish the year. If you look at

1225
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 2: his statistics on the hole, he caught one hundred and

1226
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 2: seven balls eleven hundred yards eight touchdowns. That's not terrible.

1227
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 2: But the divorce between Stefan Diggs and the Bills seemingly

1228
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 2: it's been a long time coming. Stefan diggs brother, Trevaughn

1229
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 2: even appeared to call out Josh Allen at one point

1230
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 2: during the twenty twenty three season, so it became a

1231
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 2: family affair. Now, the twenty twenty four NFL Draft is

1232
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 2: very deep at the wide receiver position, so many have

1233
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 2: factored into Buffalo's decision to trade Diggs as that was

1234
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 2: a good reason and a good rationale to be able

1235
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 2: to do that. And again they're eating a thirty one

1236
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 2: million dollar cap hit. And remember the Bills acquired Digs

1237
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 2: in a trade with Minnesota just ahead of the COVID

1238
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 2: season in twenty twenty. And you know, diggscumulatively has put

1239
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,919
Speaker 2: together six concied of seasons with at least one thousand

1240
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 2: receiving yards. But be careful what you wish for. Look, Diggs,

1241
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 2: I think did a similar thing when he exited Minnesota,

1242
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 2: and now he's done it with Buffalo. Houston already had

1243
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,759
Speaker 2: a solid receiving corps. I like Nico Collins out of Michigan.

1244
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 2: I really like Tank Dell c J. Stroud. He will,

1245
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 2: on paper have an elite weapon at his disposal, and

1246
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,799
Speaker 2: one would hope, and I hope there is no sophomore jinks.

1247
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 2: You gotta love c J. Stroud, you gotta love Dmico

1248
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,639
Speaker 2: Ryans and what they did in Houston, man, it was impressive.

1249
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 2: Can't say enough good things. So on paper, on paper,

1250
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 2: you would think that an elite weapon like this can

1251
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 2: only help Houston. But finally, you can't tell the full story.

1252
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 2: Without the last chapter. And I want to share this

1253
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 2: because you can defend Stefan Diggs and that's fine, but

1254
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 2: at least acknowledge what happened as the season wound bound.

1255
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 2: Let's not forget this. I'll share that. Coming up, I'm

1263
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 2: but it raises a few more. I'm going to take

1264
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 2: a deep dive. I want to remind everybody the Fox

01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:37,520
Speaker 2: graduate hotels where college fans stay. Back to Stefan Diggs.

1271
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 2: Now we tell the rest of the story. You know

1272
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills and their fan base. If you have

1273
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 2: any humanity, you have a soft spot in your heart

1274
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 2: for them because when you look at their history, it's

1275
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 2: been defined by heartbreak, heartbreak and critical situations during high

1276
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 2: leverage moments. Going back to the Scott Norwood situation, norwod

1277
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 2: was a great guy, career was never the same. Now

1278
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 2: let's go back to Stefan Diggs. How does this factor in.

1279
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 2: You can't tell the full story of the Stefan Diggs

1280
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 2: ordeal without the last chapter, and I'm going to share

1281
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 2: it now. Now, let me set this up. He's a

1282
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 2: wide receiver and drops are not an official stat in

1283
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:25,480
Speaker 2: the National Football not official stats, so there could be discrepancies.

1284
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 2: But Pro Football Reference charted Diggs for about eight drops

1285
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:34,680
Speaker 2: in the regular season that times for sixth worst in

1286
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 2: the league. His five percent drop percentage ranked fourteenth among

1287
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 2: NFL wideouts with at least eighty targets. Is that befitting

1288
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 2: of a wide receiver? Number one? Now, Diggs basically started

1289
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:53,799
Speaker 2: to fade from Buffalo's offense and it was stark okay,

1290
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 2: Devin mccordy noted on Football Night in America that before

1291
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 2: the game against Miami Dolphins, he goes, I think there's

1292
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 2: bigger issues going on there. I think their offense is

1293
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 2: trying to prove to Stefon Diggs that they don't need him,

1294
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 2: and I think Devin mccordy has done a great job

1295
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 2: in that role. If you've listened to his repartage, he's

1296
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 2: a keen observer. He's been there, done that. He's had

1297
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 2: great success in the National Football League New England under

1298
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. When he speaks, I think he need to listen.

1299
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 2: His perception was not just that Diggs was fading from

1300
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 2: the offense. It wasn't performing by statistics, but the Buffalo

1301
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 2: Bills were trying to send a message they really didn't

1302
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 2: need it either way. Referring back to the social media

1303
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 2: question from Tuesday night, Buffalo and their offense proved that

1304
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs was unessential to Josh Allen and his success

1305
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 2: down the home stretch. Furthermore, when Stefan Diggs had his

1306
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 2: miscues in January during the playoffs when it mattered most,

1307
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:11,759
Speaker 2: it really hurt the Buffalo Bills chances. When it mattered most.

1308
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 2: You're reopening those wounds. As I said, if you have

1309
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 2: observed Buffalo bills and their history, and there was even

1310
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 2: a great thirty for thirty. One of my favorite ones,

1311
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 2: the Four Falls of Buffalo, done on ESPN. I watch

1312
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 2: it once a year. The truth of the matter is

1313
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,799
Speaker 2: they're defined by this hard break. In two playoff games,

1314
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs had a total of ten catches for seventy

1315
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 2: three yards no touchdowns. But in the three point elimination

1316
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:47,719
Speaker 2: lost to Kansas City, Stefan Diggs fumbled on the first

1317
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 2: play and then dropped the pass on the second play.

1318
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 2: Now Buffalo and their final drive began. Josht Allen put

1319
01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,680
Speaker 2: up pinpoint bomb that should have gone for at least

1320
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 2: fifty five yard game if not the goal ahead touchdown,

1321
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 2: and the ball went right through Stefan Diggs's arms. I

1322
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 2: know there are people listening there out here tonight that

1323
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 2: remember that play, can picture it in their mind. Put

1324
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 2: the ball right on the money, went right through his

1325
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 2: arms fifty five yards. Tweet at me if you remember it.

1326
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:23,680
Speaker 2: At Bernie Frattle, Diggs trotted back to the huddle and

1327
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 2: you can go watch it on film. He made a

1328
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 2: gesture with his stumbinus forefinger to Josh Allen and the

1329
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,879
Speaker 2: millions watching on TV in front of God and everybody,

1330
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 2: and he knew desperately that play was needed and it

1331
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 2: was quote this close to happening. That's why he held

1332
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 2: his thumb and finger like an inch apart. This is

1333
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 2: another season that ended in heartbreak for the Buffalo Bills

1334
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 2: and when it came to patience and when it came

1335
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 2: to all the things, not just the performance on the field,

1336
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 2: the impression left at high Mark Stadium that Stefan Diggs

1337
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 2: had I had left in his final moments with the

1338
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills led to the trade. So there you have it.

1339
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,679
Speaker 2: You still have superstar name power, you have a potential

1340
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 2: instant power shift, and you do have some drama. It's

1341
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 2: all there for you. With Stefan Diggs. I wish him

1342
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 2: no where will in Houston. But as they say, don't

1343
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 2: tell me, show me. Houston is a fine team with

1344
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 2: an upward trend. We'll see if Diggs can help him

1345
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 2: coming up the Oaklana's the saga. Keevid locked, you're listening

01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 2: the end of an era in Oakland or the beginning

1357
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 2: of a new one. I must confess I was wrong.

1358
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 2: I did not believe the Oakland A's would play the

1359
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 2: three years of bridge games. Wait a minute, that came

1360
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 2: out like very clunky English. Let me set this up.

1361
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 2: If everything goes according to Hoyles, the new stadium here

1362
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas for the relocating of the Oakland A's

1363
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,680
Speaker 2: will be ready for opening day twenty twenty eight. The

1364
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 2: Oakland A's will play the remainder of the twenty twenty

1365
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 2: fourth season in their current home. Twenty five, twenty six,

1366
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 2: twenty seven, they'll be leaving Oakland and play at least

1367
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 2: three years in a minor league ballpark in West Sacramento.

1368
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:50,719
Speaker 2: That was announced early Thursday morning. I have been saying

1369
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 2: all along, and I'm gonna this is gonna be a

1370
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:57,719
Speaker 2: two segment subject because I'm gonna share with you what's happening.

1371
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 2: But I'm also gonna show with you five big questions

1372
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 2: just because what was announced was announced for me. It

1373
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 2: may answer a couple of questions, but it raises at

1374
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 2: least four or five more. But these are the facts

1375
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 2: for now. It looks like this decision, this move ends

1376
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 2: what will have been a fifty six year tenure of

1377
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 2: history in the East Bay. And it was. It was

1378
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 2: featured by a lot of good times. There were four

1379
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 2: World Series championships. Although this iteration of the Oakland A's

1380
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 2: Charlie Finley swinging a's when they appear to be heading

1381
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 2: for their third consecutive one hundred lost season, So they

1382
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 2: now apparently have They have an agreement with Sacramento for

1383
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:50,559
Speaker 2: a three year lease from twenty twenty five to twenty

1384
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 2: twenty seven, with a team option for twenty twenty eight,

1385
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 2: just in case the planned ballpark here in the Las

1386
01:20:57,080 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 2: Vegas Strip is not completed in time, so the Athletics

1387
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 2: will share. The home looks like a cozy little facility,

1388
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,560
Speaker 2: but very much like a minor league facility, but a

1389
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:11,479
Speaker 2: nice one. It's called Sutter Health Park and if you

1390
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 2: were wondering, it seats ten, six hundred and twenty four.

1391
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 2: Those are the permanent seats, but you know you got

1392
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 2: the long seating too that on those big nights they

1393
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 2: can draw up to fourteen thousand. It's currently home to

1394
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 2: the Sacramento river Cats, who are the San Francisco Giants

1395
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 2: Triple A team. Sutter Hill Park about eighty five miles

1396
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 2: northeast of Oakland Coliseum. So immediately, Dave caval the athletics president,

1397
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 2: he called apparently Oakland Chief of Stafflee Hanson in the

1398
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 2: morning to inform her of the team's decision. Now, the owner,

1399
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 2: John Fisher followed. Five minutes later he called the Oakland mayor,

1400
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 2: Shang Tao. The team announced the move on social media

1401
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 2: Thursday morning as the West Coast was waking up. And

1402
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 2: there you have it. Now, the A's indicate that they

1403
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:07,640
Speaker 2: explored several locations for a temporary home, including the Oakland Coliseum.

1404
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 2: And you know, they said all the right things, long

1405
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:15,800
Speaker 2: standing relationships, good intentions, but it just didn't work out. Obviously,

1406
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 2: the deal if you look at it even glance at it.

1407
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,720
Speaker 2: That the final negotiating meeting at the A's offices, where

1408
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 2: the city representatives presented a five year lease offer with

1409
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 2: an opt out after three to the Oaklan A's. But

1410
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 2: in that offer, well, hell, the A's would have been

1411
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 2: on the hook for ninety seven million dollars as their

1412
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:39,599
Speaker 2: extension fee. I mean, was that really a real offer,

1413
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 2: because you may or may not know this, but the

1414
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 2: A's are currently paying a little over a million dollars

1415
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 2: a year to rent the coliseum, and when you increase that,

1416
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 2: you know, nineteen hundred percent, that's kind of that's kind

1417
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 2: of a showstopper for me, would be for me, I think,

1418
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 2: But it's it's not so easy, okay. In a few

1419
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,960
Speaker 2: hours after the meeting, I guess, the Oakland officials reached

1420
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 2: back out to the as he had kind of a

1421
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 2: revised offer, a three year lease with a sixty million

1422
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 2: dollar extension fee, But that offer was contingent on Major

1423
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,760
Speaker 2: League Baseball agreeing to a one year exclusive right to

1424
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,679
Speaker 2: solicit ownership for a future expansion team in Oakland. Now,

1425
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 2: you know, Oakland, maybe you know. I'm not going to

1426
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 2: get into the political part of this, but we know

1427
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 2: why the Raiders left. Al Davis had been trying to

1428
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 2: get a new stadium since the eighties. Ended up going

1429
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 2: to Los Angeles for a while, then back to Oakland.

1430
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,679
Speaker 2: Now they're here in Vegas. No difference. They couldn't they couldn't,

1431
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 2: you know, they couldn't get their stadium, as simple as that.

1432
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 2: So I don't know. And the Oakland's a great baseball town. Man,

1433
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 2: the Bay the whole Bay area is this whole thing

1434
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 2: is a shame. There are a lot of good fans

1435
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 2: there caught in the crossfire. It's just it's not a

1436
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 2: fun situation. But there have been people who've indicated the

1437
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 2: athletics might have been recepted to the new offer. But

1438
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 2: once they met with the Sacramento officials twenty four hours later,

1439
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:05,920
Speaker 2: they just quickly agreed to a deal. And look the

1440
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:12,679
Speaker 2: mayor of Oakland stuck up for her contingent. She says, look, Oakland,

1441
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 2: the city of Oakland. They offered a deal of the

1442
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 2: A's that was fiscally responsible for the city. Then quote,

1443
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 2: you know the old We wish the A's the best.

1444
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:24,799
Speaker 2: Will continue our conversations with him on facilitating the sale

1445
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:28,600
Speaker 2: of the coliseum site. Okay, great, so there's that the

1446
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:32,560
Speaker 2: city of Oakland will now focus on, you know, redeveloping

1447
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 2: that site, whatever that means. Now central the main, key

1448
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 2: part of the Sacramento Kings whole ordeal is a gentleman

1449
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:46,640
Speaker 2: named Favick ron Adieve. He's a friend of John Fisher's

1450
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,879
Speaker 2: and he's the owner of the Sacramento Rivercats, and apparently

1451
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:54,919
Speaker 2: he've views the athletics temporary residence as an audition. Because

1452
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,679
Speaker 2: I think Sacramento would like to get a major League

1453
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 2: team in the future. I think you can rule it out,

1454
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 2: although I think they're down on the list from what

1455
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 2: I understand from places like Salt Lake City in Nashville

1456
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 2: and Portland. But there's a lot of people in the

1457
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 2: area cod they support major League Baseball and Sacramento. I'm

1458
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 2: all the belief they might be able to but I

1459
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 2: think they're I don't know that they're close to getting.

1460
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. And the deal coming to Vegas, it

1461
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 2: isn't gonna fall through. I know too much here people

1462
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 2: I talked to that we'll talk off the record. You

1463
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:32,280
Speaker 2: know this, it's been a little odd and idiosyncratic, and

1464
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 2: it's not like other stadium situations I've seen in the past.

1465
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 2: You know, when I was in Detroit, the building of

1466
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 2: Ford Field and Camerica Park, and of course even here

1467
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 2: with Tmobile Arena and the Legion Stadium. This has been

1468
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:48,639
Speaker 2: like unlike anything I've seen. But so I don't believe

1469
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 2: it's going to fall through. But it is a weird one,

1470
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 2: all right, But again the usual Vivike. I'm thrilled to

1471
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 2: welcome the age et cetera. Hill Park, quote players and

1472
01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 2: fans and I can enjoy a world class baseball experience

1473
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 2: and create forgettable memories. All right, why not today? Mark's

1474
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 2: the next chapter of professional sports and Sacramento, the passion

1475
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 2: of our fans is second to none. It's an incredible

1476
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:10,759
Speaker 2: opportunity to showcase one of the most dynamic and vibrant

1477
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 2: markets in the country. Okay, gods should be running for mayor,

1478
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 2: but Sachto's not a bad place. I know people like

1479
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:19,679
Speaker 2: to bash it because that makes them feel better about

1480
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 2: their life. But you're gonna hear any Sacramento bashing from me.

1481
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 2: Stay capital, by the way, Rob Manfred, who's been nowhere

1482
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:28,799
Speaker 2: to be found in this whole ordeal. In my opinion,

1483
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:31,679
Speaker 2: thank the Kings, Thank the leaders in Sacramento for getting

1484
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 2: an agreement done. Now, John Fisher owns half the Oakland

1485
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 2: Coliseum property. But what's interesting he has an attendant a

1486
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 2: game since April nineteenth, the last year. Okay. Meanwhile, the

1487
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:47,760
Speaker 2: Athletics are off to a terrible start this season. They're

1488
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 2: drawing an average is sixty four hundred fans at the

1489
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 2: coliseum through six games, and I think they're calling it

1490
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 2: the Summer of boycott, which began on opening Day, where

1491
01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 2: thousands of fans protested John Fisher's ownership by going to

1492
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:04,679
Speaker 2: the game but remaining in the parking lot throughout. Now.

1493
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 2: Jorge Leon, the president of the Oakland sixty eights, one

1494
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,680
Speaker 2: of two fan groups that organized boycotts and consulted with

1495
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,680
Speaker 2: the city on the sports future, said he was very

1496
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:17,719
Speaker 2: disappointed by Thursday's announcement. I'm not going to understand there

1497
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 2: is a genuine emotional generational connection between sports teams in

1498
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 2: their town and the olk of the age. Whether you

1499
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 2: believe it or not, are not kinic franchise. The last

1500
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 2: three or four years had been disaster, but going back

1501
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,839
Speaker 2: to twenty ten, they've been in the playoffs five times,

1502
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 2: and you know about their history, they've had some great

1503
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 2: runs in yearly seventies with three straight championships with the

1504
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 2: Reggie Jackson group, and then of course the Bash Brothers

1505
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 2: in the late eighties. All Right, look, I think it's

1506
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 2: a sensitive situation between Oakland and Sacramento and maybe their

1507
01:27:55,400 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 2: sister cities or whatever, however you want to characterize it. Hey,

1508
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:02,600
Speaker 2: Lean was really quite articulate. He says, it goes to

1509
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,840
Speaker 2: show you the structure of American sports fails communities. It

1510
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,280
Speaker 2: won't change until actual change has been made at the

1511
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 2: legislative level. Be even those in the capital have also

1512
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 2: failed us. I don't think he's wrong there. Why couldn't

1513
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 2: they get a stadium. Why couldn't they coalesce? Why because

1514
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 2: not enough of the right powerful people wanted it to happen.

1515
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 2: That's what happened here in Lat Vegas. That's how they

1516
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:24,639
Speaker 2: got the Raiders, That's how they got the Vegas Golden Knights,

1517
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 2: and that's how they're getting the Oakland A's now. Major

1518
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 2: League Baseball owners unanimously approved the a's relocation in Las

1519
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 2: Vegas after John Fisher entered into an agreement to build

1520
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 2: a ballpark in the parking lot at the Tropicana Casino

1521
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:45,320
Speaker 2: which had his final burial last Tuesday, April second, after

1522
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:47,600
Speaker 2: sixty six years. And so for now, it looks like

1523
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 2: they're building that right on that you know, that stadium

1524
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:53,759
Speaker 2: right there on the strip in the corner basically basically

1525
01:28:53,800 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 2: the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard Entropicana. So where are

1526
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:06,400
Speaker 2: we going with this? Somehow, the A's managed to receive

1527
01:29:06,439 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty million in public funding from the

1528
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 2: Nevada State legislature. They're building a stadium price to a

1529
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:13,720
Speaker 2: billion and a half and if all goes according to

1530
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 2: the plan, like I said, it's going to open up

1531
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty eighth season. Now, by the way,

1532
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,640
Speaker 2: John Fisher went on to say, throughout this season, we

1533
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 2: will honor and celebrate our time in Oakland. Oh boy,

1534
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:25,679
Speaker 2: that ought to go over like a fart in church.

1535
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:29,080
Speaker 2: I generally feel bad for the people and the fans

1536
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 2: in the city of Oakland. So I told you that

1537
01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 2: that answered some questions, but it raises more. So the

1538
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:40,599
Speaker 2: A's quote unquote are leaving their problems behind in Oakland.

1539
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 2: But I think that only answers some questions, but it

1540
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 2: definitely raises a few more. And I will share with

1541
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 2: you what those questions. Are. By the way, shortly after

1552
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:24,040
Speaker 2: raised a few more. I will opine. I'm Bernie Friday.

01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:45,760
Speaker 2: Don't forget coming up top of the hour two am Pacific,

1559
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:49,759
Speaker 2: five am Eastern Fresh New Editions. What kind of brand

1560
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 2: new fool or you followed by what my name? All right?

1561
01:30:56,600 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 2: The Oakland A's they're leaving their quote unquote problems in

1562
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:05,599
Speaker 2: Oakland as they make their way to Sacramento. But I

1563
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,439
Speaker 2: still think there are questions, and these are legitimate questions,

1564
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,679
Speaker 2: and if this ends up happening, well I was wrong.

1565
01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 2: I did not think. Let me back up, let me

1566
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:20,480
Speaker 2: set this up. One of the alleged talking point solutions

1567
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 2: as to what the A's would do in the twenty five,

1568
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 2: twenty six, and twenty seven seasons in that interim between

1569
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 2: leaving Oakland and landing in Las Vegas with their new

1570
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 2: stadium was where would they play? And one of the

1571
01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:37,360
Speaker 2: suggestions was our Las Vegas Ballpark here here in Summerland,

1572
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 2: which is beautiful. It's maybe the nicest Triple A facility

1573
01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:44,519
Speaker 2: in all of baseball. But I never believe. I always

1574
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:46,479
Speaker 2: thought that was a non starter for a couple of reasons.

1575
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,680
Speaker 2: I never thought the players UNI would ratify moving to

1576
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 2: what a nine thousand seats stadium. I'm not going to

1577
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 2: do it. And also, in case you hadn't noticed, here

1578
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:59,640
Speaker 2: in June, July, August and September we have about one

1579
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 2: hundred one hundred degree days and have about fifteen or

1580
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 2: twenty one hundred and ten degree days and it's not

1581
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 2: a dome stadium. They're not going to do it, and

1582
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:09,640
Speaker 2: apparently they're not going to do it. Plus you got

1583
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:11,639
Speaker 2: a Triple A team that was already there. But that

1584
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 2: leads to my very first question having to do with

1585
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:21,000
Speaker 2: heading to this stadium in Sacramento. Well, the Major League

1586
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:25,439
Speaker 2: Baseball Players Association really sign off on this plan. Now,

1587
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:28,720
Speaker 2: the Union, you can be sure they're going to go

1588
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 2: over this scene with a fine tooth comb and look

1589
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 2: at all those stadium amenities that can be used by

1590
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,680
Speaker 2: the players and what is also going to be done

1591
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:36,559
Speaker 2: there to promote their health and safety. This is major

1592
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:39,759
Speaker 2: League Baseball, not minor league baseball. So far, the Union

1593
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 2: has said, quote it's had preliminary discussions with Major League

1594
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 2: Baseball about a range of issues related to temporary relocation.

1595
01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 2: What they expect and they expect those decisions to check

1596
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:55,720
Speaker 2: that those discussions to continue unquote. Remember this is well,

1597
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,880
Speaker 2: this is not unprecedented. The Toronto Blue Jays use Buffalo's

1598
01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 2: sale and feel of the Triple A team during the

1599
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 2: pandemic because they couldn't play in Canada. Remember, but there

1600
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:09,720
Speaker 2: were facility upgrades that were consummated there. You can be

1601
01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 2: sure you can be sure that if the Major League

1602
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:17,000
Speaker 2: Baseball Players Union signs off on this, there's going to

1603
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:20,679
Speaker 2: be facility upgrades. What those one hundred percent entail, I'm

1604
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 2: not sure, but hold that thought. It's going to happen.

1605
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 2: Here's question number two, is anybody thought of this? How

1606
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:29,479
Speaker 2: the hell will the A's, the Oakland A's who have

1607
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:34,639
Speaker 2: played any one home games share that stadium Cetter Health

1608
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 2: Park with the Sacramento Rivercats, who also play seventy home games,

1609
01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 2: and they're already starting to experiment with putting together prospective

1610
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:49,200
Speaker 2: schedules for twenty twenty five. That's apparently in development, which

1611
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,160
Speaker 2: is probably a good thing. But here's one major question

1612
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:56,760
Speaker 2: that's not been answered. Major League Baseball teams, especially within

1613
01:33:56,800 --> 01:34:00,000
Speaker 2: our league, play now play two game series, three game series,

1614
01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:06,160
Speaker 2: in four game series. It is common and frequent that

1615
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 2: TRIPAA teams play extended series, oftentimes a six game series

1616
01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:15,040
Speaker 2: in a single location. Why it's obvious you cut down

1617
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:20,040
Speaker 2: on travel, you cut down on expenses. Well, that in

1618
01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:24,599
Speaker 2: and of itself presents a completely different cadence from how

1619
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:27,160
Speaker 2: a major league schedule operates. How they're going to be

1620
01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 2: able to put together a schedule where you don't have

1621
01:34:30,200 --> 01:34:32,840
Speaker 2: a situation where both teams play on the same field

1622
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:36,760
Speaker 2: on the same day. I don't know, that's up to

1623
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 2: them to decide, but it's a question. Maybe they have

1624
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 2: an answer to the question, but it's a question. Number three,

1625
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,960
Speaker 2: how exactly do you think this is going to affect

1626
01:34:48,040 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 2: the fan support of the Oakland Bays and the Oakland

1627
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:55,400
Speaker 2: as attendants now again, Cutter Hill Park looks like a

1628
01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:59,639
Speaker 2: nice little place, cozy place. Seats fourteen thousand people. So

1629
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:04,799
Speaker 2: if the current average shows sixty four hundred games sixty

1630
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:08,200
Speaker 2: four to thirty eight to be exact, which is representative

1631
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 2: of the fan count that's been showing up at games

1632
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 2: currently in Oakland, if that's all that shows up, well,

1633
01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:18,040
Speaker 2: they'll be able to easily accommodate that. But this is

1634
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:20,519
Speaker 2: still a minor league park with a capacity will below

1635
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:23,840
Speaker 2: the normal Major League Baseball average, which will leave the

1636
01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:28,919
Speaker 2: ability for any future attendants revenue growth very significantly limited.

1637
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 2: That I think is going to be a talking point

1638
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 2: and going to be an issue. And you know what,

1639
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 2: if the New York Yankees come to town, I don't know, whatever,

1640
01:35:38,240 --> 01:35:40,720
Speaker 2: a team that's got a marquee player. I don't know

1641
01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:42,639
Speaker 2: if the Dodgers will go there next year. You get

1642
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:44,880
Speaker 2: the point. There's always a chance there's going to be

1643
01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 2: an opportunity for more. And it's eighty five miles away

1644
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:50,440
Speaker 2: from from Oakland. So maybe the good folks at Sacramento

1645
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:52,400
Speaker 2: they want to take in major League games to see

1646
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:56,599
Speaker 2: their favorite star from an opposing city or whatever. That's

1647
01:35:56,720 --> 01:36:00,720
Speaker 2: a question. What kind of impact is it's also going

1648
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 2: to have on the Oaklan A staff. You've got cheam functions,

1649
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:12,040
Speaker 2: you've got ballpark functions. Granted it's probably assumed that most

1650
01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:14,519
Speaker 2: of that can be handled by the existing River Cat staff.

1651
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:19,120
Speaker 2: Does that mean those poor folks in Oakland who had

1652
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:22,280
Speaker 2: jobs maybe for a long time, are laid off? What

1653
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:25,679
Speaker 2: happens to them? And, by the way, any of those

1654
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 2: who survive potential I don't want to cast dis versions,

1655
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:32,920
Speaker 2: but if let's say there were potential job cuts, so

1656
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,280
Speaker 2: some poor folks who no fault of their own lose

1657
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 2: their job, Let's say you get to keep your job,

1658
01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 2: are you going to make an eighty mile commute between

1659
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 2: Oakland and Sacramento? Again, that's a question. And finally, how

1660
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 2: much of the local media rights deals with the a

1661
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:54,880
Speaker 2: sacrifice when you shift to Sacramento. I would assume in

1662
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,480
Speaker 2: the negotiation the A's are going to retain a majority

1663
01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:00,439
Speaker 2: of their local media rights, but not all it because

1664
01:37:00,479 --> 01:37:03,560
Speaker 2: the game is gonna be played in Sacramento now, Sacramento

1665
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 2: placement is also going to serve as something for a

1666
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:10,240
Speaker 2: test case for Sacramento. They're gonna have an opportunity to

1667
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:12,639
Speaker 2: show their ability to support a Major League Baseball franchise,

1668
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:17,519
Speaker 2: particularly as I believe it's a fairly foregone conclusion within

1669
01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:21,040
Speaker 2: the next five years, major League Baseball will pursue some

1670
01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 2: expansion once the stadium issues for the A's and the

1671
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:28,120
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Rays are fully resolved. There's also a deal

1672
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 2: that includes a team option for twenty twenty eight should

1673
01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:35,360
Speaker 2: our plan Ballpark here in Las Vegas fall behind schedule,

1674
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:39,000
Speaker 2: and that could happen. I don't think they're even gonna

1675
01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 2: I don't even think they're going to demolish from what

1676
01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 2: I understand, the Tropicana Hotel where the site be built

1677
01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:49,680
Speaker 2: until October, and so I don't think you see a

1678
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:53,639
Speaker 2: shell in the ground for a new stadium. I think

1679
01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 2: the earliest first quarter twenty twenty five, and I think

1680
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:59,679
Speaker 2: they're talking about thirty months to build a new stadium,

1681
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:03,760
Speaker 2: and that's if there's no delays, So there's questions there

1682
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:09,320
Speaker 2: as well. And uh, you know the other thing too

1683
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:11,599
Speaker 2: is if you're in Sacramento, this has kind of popped

1684
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:13,880
Speaker 2: into my mind. Are you still calling the Oakland A's?

1685
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:16,280
Speaker 2: Are they just going to be the A's or just

1686
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:19,519
Speaker 2: the athletics or the Sacramento What do you do? So

1687
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:22,080
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, and by the way,

1688
01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:25,960
Speaker 2: you know, there are still challenges here in Las Vegas.

1689
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:27,599
Speaker 2: Do I think it's going to happen ninety nine percent

1690
01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:32,240
Speaker 2: involving the stadium being built here and that deal happening.

1691
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:35,160
Speaker 2: So do you have it? Those are the questions I have.

1692
01:38:35,200 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 2: Will the Major League Baseball players of the Union Associations

1693
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:41,679
Speaker 2: sign off? How are the A's going to share Center

1694
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 2: Park health with the Triple A river Cats. That's going

1695
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:45,920
Speaker 2: to be a total of one hundred and fifty one

1696
01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 2: home games played there next season in twenty twenty five,

1697
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:53,160
Speaker 2: And as I mentioned, those Triple A teams sometimes have

1698
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 2: six game home stands. How's it going to affect the tenants?

1699
01:38:57,120 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 2: How will this affect employees of the staff? Ballpark functions,

1700
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:06,600
Speaker 2: you know, front offs employees, stadium employees, et cetera, and

1701
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 2: local media rights deals? How will those be affected? So

1702
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:12,599
Speaker 2: they have it fifty seven seasons. The Oakland A's are

1703
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:15,040
Speaker 2: officially ending their time in Oakland. They plan they moved

1704
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:18,439
Speaker 2: to Sacramento for three seasons, but it's not going to

1705
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 2: be so easy. It's a toxic situation in their current home.

1706
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:24,479
Speaker 2: They got to survive the rest of this year. And

1707
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 2: there's a whole set of complications around Sacramento because you

1708
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 2: may have a temporary home, but there are all sorts

1709
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:36,240
Speaker 2: of questions. I believe, will it be approved for Major

1710
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:40,080
Speaker 2: League Baseball play? You know, the local media rights. I'm

1711
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:42,479
Speaker 2: just kind of repeating myself. So the longest short of

1712
01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 2: it is, you've got a solution on paper. Now let's

1713
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:49,559
Speaker 2: see how they execute it. And oh, by the way,

1714
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 2: my goodness, their final season in Oakland. Tell me that's

1715
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:55,679
Speaker 2: not going to be uncomfortable. Coming up, we dive back

1716
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:59,320
Speaker 2: into football. Why would the Convoys be willing to allow

1717
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:03,080
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott to play out his final year of his contract?

1718
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:06,000
Speaker 2: I think I have an answer for you, But first

1719
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:09,040
Speaker 2: let's go to our guy, the chef, Kevin Wirt, for

1720
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:09,880
Speaker 2: his performance.

1721
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:16,760
Speaker 9: Then you know you the for me and all that

1722
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:27,439

Speaker 9: me and you and you simultane him be there two

1724
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:35,800
Speaker 9: or three Simontane who.

1725
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:42,080
Speaker 2: Left another BAHFA performance by Kevin Wyant's The Chef.

1726
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:46,280
Speaker 6: Yes, it was a great performance too. On Saturday, in

1727
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:50,720
Speaker 6: the men's final four Yukon in Alabama, as the Huskies

1728
01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:53,720
Speaker 6: for the second consecutive year, you're gonna play for a

1729
01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 6: national championship. They take down the Crimson Tide eighty six

1730
01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:02,679
Speaker 6: to seventy two. And the Huskies, they had this game

1731
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:06,679
Speaker 6: tied with twelve minutes to go as they really pulled

1732
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 6: away to win this one by double digits. And Purdue

1733
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:15,639
Speaker 6: gonna face the Huskies as they win the semifinal against

1734
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:18,640
Speaker 6: this year's Cinderella team, NC State sixty three to fifty A.

1735
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:22,040
Speaker 6: Zach Edy had twenty points and twelve rebounds. And keep

1736
01:41:22,080 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 6: in mind, the wolf Pack had to win five consecutive

1737
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:26,240
Speaker 6: games in the ACC Tournament and then they had to

1738
01:41:26,240 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 6: get themselves all the way to the final fource. That's

1739
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:33,439
Speaker 6: a nine game postseason winning streak that was snapped by

1740
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 6: the boiler Makers. And the women's side of things. Tomorrow,

1741
01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 6: South Carolina, Iowa, the undefeated game Cocks thirty seven to zero,

1742
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:44,800

01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:50,719
Speaker 6: up against the superstar Caitlin Clark, and the semifinal victory

1744
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 6: by the Hawkeyes against Yukon on Friday drew fourteen point.

1745
01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:56,719
Speaker 2: Two million viewers.

1746
01:41:57,080 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 6: That's a new record for women's basketball in the NBA.

1747
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:05,640
Speaker 6: The regular season ends a week from Sunday. The Lakers

1748
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 6: on their way at least trying to get in the

1749
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:10,639
Speaker 6: upper half of that play in tournament. They won nine

1750
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:15,479
Speaker 6: to ten, including today's decision against Cleveland Cavaliers one sixteen

1751
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 6: to ninety seven. The Nets trailed by fifteen with only

1752
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:20,479
Speaker 6: seven a half minutes ago to the Pistons, but they

1753
01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:22,599
Speaker 6: do rally to beat Detroit one thirteen to one oh

1754
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:25,960

Speaker 6: thirty points from Joel Embiid, and the Nuggets take down

1756
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:31,479
Speaker 6: the Hawks one forty two to one.

1757
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:31,840
Speaker 2: Ten.

1758
01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:36,679
Speaker 6: NHL regular season ends April eighteenth. Bruins overtime winners against

1759
01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:38,800
Speaker 6: the Florida Panthers three to two. Islanders shout out the

1760
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:42,680
Speaker 6: Predators to not fing the Winnipeg Jets winners at Minnesota

1761
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:43,400
Speaker 6: four to two.

1762
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:47,679
Speaker 2: Beck you Barney all right, thanks chef, good stuff as always,

1763
01:42:47,680 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 2: of course, coming up top of the hour the Chef

1764
01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:53,960
Speaker 2: and Mark Ramsey and I and Roddy myself fresh new

1765
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 2: editions of what kind of brand new fool you? And

1766
01:42:56,800 --> 01:43:02,879
Speaker 2: what my name? So two weeks from Thursday, the NFL

1767
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:07,160
Speaker 2: Draft is here. And watch how quickly after Sunday's championship

1768
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:11,760
Speaker 2: game begins South Carolina and Iowa, the Caitlin Clark bull

1769
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:14,640
Speaker 2: comes to a conclusion. And then of course Monday night

1770
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 2: for doing yukon. Watch how quickly the conversation turns toward

1771
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft. How many mock drafts we had at

1772
01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:25,920
Speaker 2: this point? But it starts to become more granular, and

1773
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:31,879
Speaker 2: it starts to engender more broad based conversations. Dak Prescott,

1774
01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:34,040
Speaker 2: I think wants sixty million or something like that. Sure,

1775
01:43:34,080 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 2: why not. He's a great He's a great regular season player.

1776
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 2: But when it when it comes to the postseason, and

1777
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:45,800
Speaker 2: can you be great when the situation demands greatness? Man,

1778
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:48,640
Speaker 2: that's so much. Defend him at your own at your

1779
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:54,080
Speaker 2: own risk. So here's here's what's interesting about. A year

1780
01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:58,599
Speaker 2: ago at the NFL Scouting Combine, a reporter asked vice

1781
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:03,679
Speaker 2: president of the Cowboy Steve even Jones, Jerry's son, about

1782
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:09,559
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott's contract situation, and he gave a response he goes, yeah,

1783
01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:12,559
Speaker 2: I bet there's gonna be a lot of conversations about

1784
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:15,840
Speaker 2: that and we'll just wake up one day it'll be done. Well,

1785
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:19,680
Speaker 2: it's been fourteen months since that conversation, Dak Prescott is

1786
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:24,439
Speaker 2: still without a new deal, and as every day goes by,

1787
01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 2: I think it's more and more likely that Dak Prescott

1788
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 2: will play out the final year of his contract or

1789
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:34,679
Speaker 2: in the twenty four season without a new deal. That's

1790
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:43,840
Speaker 2: my guess. That's my guess. So why do I think this, Well,

1791
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:46,240
Speaker 2: first of all, if you look at if you look

1792
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 2: at what the performance has been with Dak Prescott and

1793
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 2: how they've gone in the playoffs, things of this nature,

1794
01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:59,760
Speaker 2: and when you look at the fact that he's on

1795
01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:03,800
Speaker 2: the to count fifty five million against Dallas salary cap

1796
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:08,439
Speaker 2: this season, the second highest cap in the NFL. The

1797
01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:12,000
Speaker 2: Cowboys are playing with fire because they don't want to

1798
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:16,439
Speaker 2: go back to the Quincy Carter days. But one of

1799
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 2: the incentives is that if they extend that a restructure

1800
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:23,559
Speaker 2: his contract, that would lower the number for the upcoming season. Now,

1801
01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:25,519
Speaker 2: the Cowboys deny they've given up trying to get a

1802
01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:27,760
Speaker 2: new deal done before the season, but there's not a

1803
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:31,760
Speaker 2: lot of evidence to show that's happening. Prescott says he's

1804
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:34,960
Speaker 2: confident about the situation, but he said that March fourth.

1805
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 2: What are they waiting for? What are they waiting for? Okay?

1806
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:41,320
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones says, it's a process. Both sides understand that,

1807
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 2: and if everything is great, it'll happen, and maybe it will.

1808
01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 2: Sometimes Jerry Jones takes longer to get these things done.

1809
01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:52,680
Speaker 2: Prescott has an agent. His name is Todd Franz, and

1810
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:56,559
Speaker 2: I think Jerry Jones's might be a little bent that

1811
01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:58,600
Speaker 2: Todd France and Prescott got over on him on the

1812
01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:00,400
Speaker 2: last deal. He got a four year, one hundred and

1813
01:46:00,439 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars deal that was signed in March of

1814
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:06,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Boy, how time flies. That made Prescott

1815
01:46:06,120 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 2: the second highest praed quarterback behind Patrick Mahomes. Let's see,

1816
01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:13,559
Speaker 2: Jones was hoping Prescott would take a little less. Patrick

1817
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 2: Mahomes very shrewdly structured his contract in a way that

1818
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 2: allowed the Chiefs to continue to have success. Prescott never happened.

1819
01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:25,719
Speaker 2: He didn't take less. Not only Dak Prescott get top dollar,

1820
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,240
Speaker 2: but he also got a no trade class and a

1821
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:32,280
Speaker 2: no tag class. So neither side has really tipped their

1822
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:34,760
Speaker 2: hand what they're looking for in a new deal. But

1823
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:38,160
Speaker 2: you know, darn well, the sixty million dollar number that's

1824
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:41,360
Speaker 2: been banned about, I think it's accurate. You can be

1825
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 2: sure that Dak Prescott wants more than fifty million per season.

1826
01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:50,559
Speaker 2: Why because Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow,

1827
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 2: they all average at least fifty one million per season. Now,

1828
01:46:56,520 --> 01:47:00,599
Speaker 2: Prescott during the regular season has played at a high

1829
01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:03,960
Speaker 2: level during the previous three years they've actually had. The

1830
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:08,439
Speaker 2: Cowboys have had three consecutive twelve win seasons, and Dak

1831
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:11,680
Speaker 2: did finish second in league MVP voting last year. And

1832
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:14,799
Speaker 2: if that's all you care about the regular season, no problem,

1833
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 2: no harm, no foul. But Dallas continues to struggle in

1834
01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs. They've only won one playoff game during those

1835
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:24,400
Speaker 2: three seasons. Now, I don't think that sits well with

1836
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:26,679
Speaker 2: Jerry and Jerry may Well live to be one hundred

1837
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:28,400
Speaker 2: and five years old, but he's in his eighties, and

1838
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:31,320
Speaker 2: whatever the case is, he wants to win now. He

1839
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:34,800
Speaker 2: so desperately wants to win, proving that he could do

1840
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,599
Speaker 2: without Jimmy Johnson's guys, and even we know Barry Switzer

1841
01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:38,960
Speaker 2: won one, but you know what that was all about.

1842
01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:42,240
Speaker 2: Jerry's won three, but he desperately wants one more. He

1843
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 2: will not feel complete unless that happens. Fair enough, fair enough,

1844
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 2: but Jerry Jones and the Cowboys seem to be willing

1845
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:53,719
Speaker 2: to gamble with the possibility that they may be moving

1846
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:56,439
Speaker 2: on from Dak Prescott. This could be. I'm not predicting it.

1847
01:47:56,720 --> 01:48:00,600
Speaker 2: I am merely telling you it is not all the

1848
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:04,160
Speaker 2: realm of possibility that this is Dak Prescott's last season

1849
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:07,519
Speaker 2: in Dallas. Why would that happen? Well, let's say there's

1850
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:10,000
Speaker 2: another disappointing showing in the playoffs, and let's say the

1851
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 2: Cowboys don't win twelve games. Let's say they fall backward.

1852
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 2: Perhaps Jerry Jones and his ole mashbooka they decided that

1853
01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:21,320
Speaker 2: after nine seasons with Prescott as their franchise and really

1854
01:48:21,720 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 2: no playoff success to speak of, it's just simply time

1855
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 2: to move on. So what would happen next? What would

1856
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 2: actually be the plan if the Cowboys decided to move

1857
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 2: on in twenty twenty five. Well, they do have Trey

1858
01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:39,760
Speaker 2: Lance on their roster. Remember he once commanded three first

1859
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:41,360
Speaker 2: round picks. I had people telling me he'd be the

1860
01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:45,120
Speaker 2: next great thing. Now, but this is a big offseason,

1861
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:48,360
Speaker 2: big training camp, in a big preseason for Trey Lance.

1862
01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:52,559
Speaker 2: Dallas gave up a paltry fourth round pick for Lance

1863
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 2: last August. It's difficult to determine where things actually stand

1864
01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:58,640
Speaker 2: with Trey Lance in Dallas because he didn't get any

1865
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:02,599
Speaker 2: meaningful reps last season for obvious reasons. Now he'll compete

1866
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:06,080
Speaker 2: for the number two job. But let's say Trey Lance

1867
01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:08,479
Speaker 2: ends up being good. He's also scheduled to be a

1868
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 2: free agent for the twenty twenty four season. So if

1869
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:15,080
Speaker 2: Trey Lance did not be the is not the answer, Which,

1870
01:49:15,080 --> 01:49:19,200
Speaker 2: come on, he's not the answer the Cowboys. Now what

1871
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:22,439
Speaker 2: are their other options? They could trade a veteran, or

1872
01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:24,519
Speaker 2: they could trade or they could sign a veteran or

1873
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 2: use a high draft pick. All those scenarios again really

1874
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:34,400
Speaker 2: present significant gambles because there's no guarantee they would even

1875
01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 2: be able to match what Prescott did during the regular season,

1876
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:40,880
Speaker 2: let alone have the kind of playoff success that has

1877
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:45,799
Speaker 2: eluded Dallas for a long time. Jerry Jones in his career,

1878
01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 2: he has been fortunate at the quarterback position. He had

1879
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 2: Troy Aikman, he had Tony Romol, and he had Dak Prescott.

1880
01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:58,679
Speaker 2: Now Jerry Jones is on the team for thirty five years. Aikman,

1881
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:03,040
Speaker 2: Romo and Prescott represent his quarterback for thirty of those

1882
01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:08,360
Speaker 2: thirty five years. This is why Dallas has to really

1883
01:50:08,439 --> 01:50:11,040
Speaker 2: tread lightley. And I'm not even a Dak Prescott fan,

1884
01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:14,200
Speaker 2: but let's be honest here. There are objective truths and

1885
01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:17,840
Speaker 2: there are personal feelings. Remove your personal feelings. These are

1886
01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:20,920
Speaker 2: the objective truths. When you didn't have Tory Aikman, and

1887
01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:23,400
Speaker 2: you didn't have Tony Romo, and you didn't have Dak Prescott.

1888
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:27,840
Speaker 2: In those five years, you had Quincy Carter, You had

1889
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:31,679
Speaker 2: Anthony Wright, he had Ryan Leaf, he had Clint Sterner,

1890
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:36,360
Speaker 2: rom Arkansas had Chad Hutchinson. You had Vinnie testa Verdi.

1891
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:41,000
Speaker 2: I think he's seventy three year old. Vinni Testaverdi, Drew

1892
01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:46,920
Speaker 2: Henson or Drew Bledsoe. How'd that work out? Just the

1893
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:49,639
Speaker 2: thought of that will send shivers to the good folks

1894
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 2: in Dallas who are listening to the show right now

1895
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:56,360
Speaker 2: in Dallas. So I'm going to point a finger at

1896
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:58,840
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott. Why the hell won't you just take a

1897
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:01,800
Speaker 2: team friendly deal. Now, I don't know that he's not

1898
01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:04,040
Speaker 2: willing to do so, it's just assume because of how

1899
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:08,800
Speaker 2: long this negotiations dragged out. We're talking about thirteen months now,

1900
01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:14,679
Speaker 2: we're talking about no discernible movement, and we're talking about

1901
01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 2: no known commentary on this situation. Look, Dak Prescott is

1902
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:24,960
Speaker 2: a commodity and an important one. He plays the position

1903
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:28,680
Speaker 2: that's in high demand. It's the thinnest position in all

1904
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:32,639
Speaker 2: the sports in terms of people who can really play

1905
01:51:32,680 --> 01:51:34,600
Speaker 2: it well. And if you regard it as one of

1906
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:39,360
Speaker 2: the team's top ten quarterbacks, which Prescott is, there would

1907
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:43,160
Speaker 2: be significant interest in free agency Zach Prescott. Dak Prescott

1908
01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:46,800
Speaker 2: turns thirty one in July. That's still considered reasonably young

1909
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:51,920
Speaker 2: by NFL standards. Now, there's a good chance whatever Dak

1910
01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:55,200
Speaker 2: Prescott is seki right now, he might be able to

1911
01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:57,559
Speaker 2: get that if you were to hit free agency next

1912
01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:00,720
Speaker 2: March in twenty twenty five, Remember Prescott, what's going into

1913
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:03,599
Speaker 2: a contract here? In twenty twenty he had that terrible

1914
01:52:04,320 --> 01:52:08,200
Speaker 2: ankle injury, and that ended up having no impact on

1915
01:52:08,240 --> 01:52:09,880
Speaker 2: what Jerry was able to get in his next deal.

1916
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:12,439
Speaker 2: You remember he wouldn't take less. He got a four

1917
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:14,720
Speaker 2: year deal one hundred and sixty million, and I don't

1918
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 2: think Jerry was happy with it. But Dak is maybe

1919
01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 2: holding more cards here, So why not restructure his contract

1920
01:52:23,400 --> 01:52:26,519
Speaker 2: for this season? Why does it seem unlikely a deal

1921
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:29,479
Speaker 2: would be done before the start of the season. And

1922
01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:32,800
Speaker 2: we'll solve those two puzzles. Coming up, I'm Bernie Fraddle.

1923
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:34,800
Speaker 2: We're coming toy Line from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio,

1924
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 2: tirect dot Com Studios. Keep it locked right here. You're

1925
01:52:38,120 --> 01:52:41,160
Speaker 2: listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1926
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:44,960
Speaker 2: All right back on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio.

1927
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 2: Come you Alive from the TIREC dot Com studios here

1928
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:50,240
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, coming out top of the hour, eleven

1929
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:54,280
Speaker 2: minutes away. The dance sensations sweep in the nation. What

1930
01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:57,080
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool of you? Followed by what

1931
01:52:57,280 --> 01:53:00,720
Speaker 2: my name? You know, teams sometimes are so desperate and

1932
01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:03,720
Speaker 2: as our good man Justin Frosberg likes to say, desperation

1933
01:53:03,880 --> 01:53:08,559
Speaker 2: is a stinky cologne. They'll sign a quarterback who stinks

1934
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:12,640
Speaker 2: in the postseason like Dak Prescott, because they're desperate. I

1935
01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:16,920
Speaker 2: think Prescott knows that. And so if somehow he makes

1936
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:19,439
Speaker 2: it to free agency next year and he's played out

1937
01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:21,479
Speaker 2: his contract this year without a new one, so i'mone'll

1938
01:53:21,560 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 2: do it. And I told you this last offseason Derek

1939
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 2: Carr was not going to be the answer for the Saints.

1940
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:28,080
Speaker 2: You were out of your mind to think that, and

1941
01:53:28,120 --> 01:53:31,559
Speaker 2: he proved me right. So it raises a question, why

1942
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:37,320
Speaker 2: not just restructure that Dak's contract for this season? Okay,

1943
01:53:37,720 --> 01:53:41,400
Speaker 2: our restructure would push more deadcap money into the future,

1944
01:53:42,400 --> 01:53:44,559
Speaker 2: but as things sit right now, he'll count forty one

1945
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 2: million towards the cap in twenty twenty five. That's even

1946
01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:50,759
Speaker 2: if Dak Prescott is on another team. So if Jerry

1947
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:53,360
Speaker 2: elects not to restructure his contract or get a new

1948
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:58,679
Speaker 2: deal done before before free agency started, that's a good sign.

1949
01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:03,840
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones is probably willing to roll the dice and

1950
01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:06,200
Speaker 2: allow Prescott to play out the final year of his deal.

1951
01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:09,280
Speaker 2: But he quoted on it. He said, I don't fear that.

1952
01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:11,559
Speaker 2: He says, no, I do not, because I have my

1953
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:13,680
Speaker 2: mind on being better than we were last year, and

1954
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:16,040
Speaker 2: that's where the focus would be. Every player you got

1955
01:54:16,439 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 2: has some time when his contract is up. You would

1956
01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:21,320
Speaker 2: walk around with the shakes if you feared it. You

1957
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:23,760
Speaker 2: can't because they all come up, they can all get hurt,

1958
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:26,680
Speaker 2: we can all lose some talent. So it's not fear all.

1959
01:54:26,720 --> 01:54:28,200
Speaker 2: We need this ease if we're going to try to

1960
01:54:28,240 --> 01:54:30,960
Speaker 2: do anything. If when they go another way, that leads

1961
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:33,400
Speaker 2: me to believe Jerry Jones can see a future without

1962
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:37,760
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott and he hasn't performed in the postseason, and

1963
01:54:37,800 --> 01:54:41,000
Speaker 2: it's Tisy already named the other quarterbacks Dallas suffered through

1964
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:44,120
Speaker 2: for the five years that they didn't have Romo, they

1965
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:49,640
Speaker 2: didn't have Aikman or Dak. So I think it's unlikely

1966
01:54:49,960 --> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 2: that a deal is going to get done before the

1967
01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:54,960
Speaker 2: start of this season. Why do I say that because

1968
01:54:54,960 --> 01:54:57,080
Speaker 2: things look rosy on March fourth, if you listen to

1969
01:54:57,160 --> 01:54:59,280
Speaker 2: what they were saying, or they say, look better than

1970
01:54:59,320 --> 01:55:02,800
Speaker 2: they do. Now, let's become more and more clear over

1971
01:55:02,840 --> 01:55:05,720
Speaker 2: the last month that Jerry Jones definition of all in

1972
01:55:07,040 --> 01:55:11,640
Speaker 2: was not exactly making any moves in free agency. He

1973
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:13,600
Speaker 2: certainly didn't spend big. I don't know that he spent

1974
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:18,680
Speaker 2: at all to put the quote best possible team on

1975
01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:23,480
Speaker 2: the field for the twenty twenty four season. So if

1976
01:55:23,480 --> 01:55:25,840
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are all in quote all in in the

1977
01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:31,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four season, as Jerry said, well, okay, maybe

1978
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:35,120
Speaker 2: by his definition they are. But if things go poorly

1979
01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:39,160
Speaker 2: again this season, remember Dallas, at least during their regular season,

1980
01:55:39,680 --> 01:55:42,480
Speaker 2: there's hope. They win twelve games every year, they get

1981
01:55:42,480 --> 01:55:45,360
Speaker 2: a home playoff game every year. This year, you know,

1982
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:50,800
Speaker 2: come on, what is on the table? Probably everything. You

1983
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:53,880
Speaker 2: could see a coaching firing, you could see a franchise

1984
01:55:53,960 --> 01:55:56,800
Speaker 2: quarterback go out the window, you could see coaching staff changes.

1985
01:55:56,960 --> 01:55:58,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess it's all on the table.

1986
01:55:59,040 --> 01:56:01,520
Speaker 2: You never know what Jerry's going to do. By Let's

1987
01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:03,680
Speaker 2: say that things go well. Let's say Dallas got to

1988
01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 2: an NFC championship game or better that. I'm I'm willing

1989
01:56:08,520 --> 01:56:10,440
Speaker 2: to bet that Prescott, even if he played out the

1990
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:13,480
Speaker 2: final year of his contract, he'd resign with Dallas next year.

1991
01:56:13,560 --> 01:56:17,720
Speaker 2: I believe that would happen. But that's a long way

1992
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:20,120
Speaker 2: from here to there. Can you really picture Dallas in

1993
01:56:20,160 --> 01:56:24,000
Speaker 2: an NFC championship game unless they have a baffo regular season,

1994
01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:25,520
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to play a least one game on

1995
01:56:25,560 --> 01:56:28,400
Speaker 2: the road, but I have to go through San Francisco. Again,

1996
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:32,160
Speaker 2: let's not even handicap that. So the Cowboys are either

1997
01:56:32,200 --> 01:56:34,240
Speaker 2: going to do well in twenty twenty four or not

1998
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:36,160
Speaker 2: do well, which means they're going to make the playoffs

1999
01:56:36,240 --> 01:56:38,040
Speaker 2: or not. And they're going to advance in the playoffs,

2000
01:56:38,040 --> 01:56:41,800
Speaker 2: maybe do the NFC Championship game or not. But maybe

2001
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:44,040
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, maybe he even he's had enough. I don't know.

2002
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:46,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what he thinks. He's boring to me

2003
01:56:46,720 --> 01:56:49,880
Speaker 2: another name, you know, maybe another team, you know, just

2004
01:56:51,320 --> 01:56:54,560
Speaker 2: you know, they blow out the Cowboys in the playoffs,

2005
01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:57,400
Speaker 2: they part ways, and some team comes under the water

2006
01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:00,560
Speaker 2: with a bigger offer. Don't be surprised, though Jerry Jones

2007
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:02,640
Speaker 2: is willing to take that gamble. I really believe that.

2008
01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:06,320
Speaker 2: Although Jerry Jones continues to say there's only a handful

2009
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:08,400
Speaker 2: of quarterbacks playing, we have won a Super Bowl, that

2010
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:11,480
Speaker 2: will win a Super Bowl some day and yet and yes,

2011
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:14,040
Speaker 2: I think Dak is one of them. I'm firm on

2012
01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:16,680
Speaker 2: that he's one of the ones who can. He said

2013
01:57:16,680 --> 01:57:20,360
Speaker 2: that three weeks ago. Again, what are you waiting for Jerry.

2014
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:23,160
Speaker 2: He's sitting right there, nothing's stopping you. You can give

2015
01:57:23,200 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 2: him the dal he wants, but you haven't done it.

2016
01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:27,760
Speaker 2: Don't tell me, show me coming up? What kind of

2017
01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:30,360

Speaker 2: here and the Bernie Fighter show our crack staff. We

2030
01:58:10,280 --> 01:58:13,320
Speaker 2: spend a significant amount of time, We observe, we pay

2031
01:58:13,360 --> 01:58:16,840
Speaker 2: attention because every day across this great land of ours,

2032
01:58:16,840 --> 01:58:19,400
Speaker 2: from seed to Oily Sea and around the globe, well,

2033
01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:25,760
Speaker 2: people do things. They engage in activities. Sometimes they are odd, unusual, innocuous,

2034
01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:29,760
Speaker 2: not always dangerous. Sometimes they're more serious. Sometimes you run

2035
01:58:29,800 --> 01:58:31,760
Speaker 2: to follow the law. Sometimes they can land you in jail.

2036
01:58:32,120 --> 01:58:35,760
Speaker 2: But anyway you slice it, anyway, you characterize it, anyway

2037
01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 2: you describe it, every one of these behaviors, well they

2038
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:44,040
Speaker 2: always leave you scratching your head and asking yourself, what

2039
01:58:44,240 --> 01:58:48,560
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool you? So this one I

2040
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:53,200
Speaker 2: have tonight might be the on a more serious note.

2041
01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:58,360
Speaker 2: The first part is decidedly not funny. But the conclusion

2042
01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:01,480
Speaker 2: is I think, well we will find a little humor

2043
01:59:01,520 --> 01:59:05,120
Speaker 2: in it, and you'll see why. But our knucklehead criminal,

2044
01:59:05,160 --> 01:59:08,040
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool of U? LUMINARYA tonight

2045
01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:13,640
Speaker 2: comes to us from Iowa City, Iowa, where this idiot

2046
01:59:14,120 --> 01:59:17,240
Speaker 2: was trolling around a local Walmart store. We're not going

2047
01:59:17,280 --> 01:59:19,600
Speaker 2: to give the guy's name tonight. A lot of times

2048
01:59:19,640 --> 01:59:22,400
Speaker 2: i'll introduce the person by name, not going to do

2049
01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:29,960
Speaker 2: that tonight. He was sort of hanging out and trolling

2050
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:34,240
Speaker 2: around at Walmart, where an eleven year old girl reported

2051
01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:37,920
Speaker 2: that this knucklehead had been following her around the store

2052
01:59:37,960 --> 01:59:40,920
Speaker 2: and had in fact exposed himself to her. This is

2053
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:47,440
Speaker 2: a serious business. Now. This knucklehead flasher got away but

2054
01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:51,120
Speaker 2: Walmart's security cameras caught a very nice picture of him,

2055
01:59:51,880 --> 01:59:56,480
Speaker 2: which great work by the local police posted on their

2056
01:59:56,560 --> 02:00:04,480
Speaker 2: Facebook page asking for help to identifying him. Well, they

2057
02:00:04,520 --> 02:00:08,520
Speaker 2: got their help, all right, but not from someone you

2058
02:00:08,640 --> 02:00:11,720
Speaker 2: might expect, or perhaps from the person you might at

2059
02:00:11,800 --> 02:00:16,200
Speaker 2: least expect. Well, the knucklehead who likes to troll Walmart

2060
02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:20,000
Speaker 2: and doing the very nefarious criminal things. Apparently he also

2061
02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:24,960
Speaker 2: likes to troll Facebook had happened to see his pictures

2062
02:00:25,560 --> 02:00:29,800
Speaker 2: on the Facebook page which the cops had posted. So

2063
02:00:29,920 --> 02:00:32,640
Speaker 2: what is the what kind of brand new fool you do?

2064
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:36,480
Speaker 2: He calls the police department to request that they please

2065
02:00:36,560 --> 02:00:39,600
Speaker 2: remove the picture from their site. Might not have been

2066
02:00:39,640 --> 02:00:42,640
Speaker 2: a good idea. The afore mentioned what kind of brand

2067
02:00:42,640 --> 02:00:46,240
Speaker 2: new fool you idiot is now under arrest, charged with

2068
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:53,000
Speaker 2: decent exposure. Check that indecent exposure an aggravated misdemeanor. By

2069
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:54,920
Speaker 2: the way, it's not the first time this idiot's been

2070
02:00:55,640 --> 02:00:57,960
Speaker 2: locked up or run to follow the law. He's got

2071
02:00:58,040 --> 02:01:02,200
Speaker 2: priors for indecent exposure as well as convictions for theft,

2072
02:01:02,680 --> 02:01:08,680
Speaker 2: narcotics possession, probation violation, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Mister

2073
02:01:08,840 --> 02:01:12,960
Speaker 2: no name from Iowa City, Iowa. What kind of brand

2074
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:18,600
Speaker 2: new fool you Mark Raham's year up next? Oh no, Marca,

2075
02:01:18,640 --> 02:01:21,240
Speaker 2: don't do this. I'm sorry. I apologize. Mark will be

2076
02:01:21,320 --> 02:01:24,760
Speaker 2: back for what my name? All right? The chef Kevin Wired.

2077
02:01:25,240 --> 02:01:26,800
Speaker 2: You've had some doozies in the past. What do you

2078
02:01:26,840 --> 02:01:27,720
Speaker 2: got for us today? All right?

2079
02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:30,880
Speaker 6: So earlier this week, so we go to Ohio and

2080
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:35,280
Speaker 6: we've had instances before on this segment where people lose

2081
02:01:35,320 --> 02:01:38,920
Speaker 6: their cool at fast food restaurants. Oh yeah, Well, this

2082
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:41,840
Speaker 6: is an unidentified man who pulled a gun on a

2083
02:01:41,840 --> 02:01:47,800
Speaker 6: fast food restaurant employee at a Burger King because his

2084
02:01:47,880 --> 02:01:50,520
Speaker 6: meal ended up costing less than he expected. See, we

2085
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:53,200
Speaker 6: all then get upset if we have to, you know,

2086
02:01:53,240 --> 02:01:56,160
Speaker 6: pay more right than what we expected. He was legitimately

2087
02:01:56,240 --> 02:02:01,080
Speaker 6: upset that they applied a promotional discount on on his order,

2088
02:02:01,680 --> 02:02:04,520
Speaker 6: and he was just absolutely beside himself. So of course

2089
02:02:04,760 --> 02:02:08,200
Speaker 6: he left, returned with a gun and branched it at

2090
02:02:08,240 --> 02:02:11,040
Speaker 6: the employee through the drive through before taking off in

2091
02:02:11,120 --> 02:02:14,640
Speaker 6: a gray Honda Cord. Police are still looking for this

2092
02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:20,440
Speaker 6: unidentified man. But yeah, pulling the gun on an employee

2093
02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:23,200
Speaker 6: at a Burger King because they saved you money. I

2094
02:02:23,200 --> 02:02:25,880
Speaker 6: think that's as foolish a thing as I can think of. So,

2095
02:02:26,240 --> 02:02:29,080
Speaker 6: unidentified man in Ohio, what kind of brand new fool?

2096
02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:32,640
Speaker 2: Are you a brand new fool? On multiple accounts? I

2097
02:02:32,640 --> 02:02:34,360
Speaker 2: guess you could say he didn't have it his way?

2098
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 8: Right?

2099
02:02:34,560 --> 02:02:37,360
Speaker 2: That's an old lad from Burke He never mind. Nicely done, Mark, Oh,

2100
02:02:37,400 --> 02:02:40,280
Speaker 2: that's a good one. That's kind of a nice. Of course,

2101
02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:42,920
Speaker 2: pulling a gun is never lighthearted, but being pissed off

2102
02:02:43,240 --> 02:02:45,240
Speaker 2: that your bill was less than you thought it would be,

2103
02:02:45,720 --> 02:02:48,400
Speaker 2: especially you know, I heard something on the news today.

2104
02:02:48,840 --> 02:02:50,760
Speaker 2: Food costs are up thirty seven percent in the last

2105
02:02:50,760 --> 02:02:55,040
Speaker 2: four years. All right, nicely done, Ohio, nicely done, chef

2106
02:02:55,800 --> 02:02:58,840
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy. Yeah, you have becoming a veteran at this game.

2107
02:02:58,840 --> 02:02:59,880
Speaker 2: What have you got for us tonight?

2108
02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:01,920
Speaker 10: I don't At first, I just want to say that

2109
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:04,280
Speaker 10: that's scary. He's still out there, and you know, just

2110
02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:07,160
Speaker 10: hope he's not around on like Black Friday or something

2111
02:03:07,200 --> 02:03:09,000
Speaker 10: when there's actually sales and stuff.

2112
02:03:09,040 --> 02:03:09,600
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mark.

2113
02:03:10,520 --> 02:03:16,920
Speaker 10: Anyway, my brand new fool, his story begins in Lancaster County, Nebraska.

2114
02:03:17,240 --> 02:03:21,720
Speaker 10: He's also unnamed, so just gonna start with that. But

2115
02:03:21,840 --> 02:03:25,880
Speaker 10: today's fool who Again, he was left unnamed, but he

2116
02:03:25,960 --> 02:03:28,040
Speaker 10: was driving home from a night out at a bar

2117
02:03:28,200 --> 02:03:32,360
Speaker 10: last September, so driving down the highway, he noticed something

2118
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:36,560
Speaker 10: pretty scary. He noticed another car coming right at him.

2119
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:38,600
Speaker 10: And again, this is the highway, not a road, so

2120
02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:43,120
Speaker 10: that's pretty terrifying, he yells. He swerves to avoid the

2121
02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:46,480
Speaker 10: car that was driving the wrong direction and nearly gets

2122
02:03:46,560 --> 02:03:50,760
Speaker 10: run off the road. So thankfully, though, he doesn't get

2123
02:03:50,800 --> 02:03:53,520
Speaker 10: run off the road, and he keeps driving. So our

2124
02:03:53,560 --> 02:03:56,360
Speaker 10: hero decides to call the police to report this absurd

2125
02:03:56,480 --> 02:04:00,160
Speaker 10: traffic violation in detail. He even told them coordinates to

2126
02:04:00,200 --> 02:04:03,440
Speaker 10: where he was where it happened. The dispatcher letting nearby

2127
02:04:03,440 --> 02:04:06,560
Speaker 10: deputies know, and a few minutes later our main character

2128
02:04:06,680 --> 02:04:09,960
Speaker 10: himself got pulled over. Why well, it turned out that

2129
02:04:10,160 --> 02:04:12,160
Speaker 10: he had been the one driving the wrong way on

2130
02:04:12,200 --> 02:04:14,600
Speaker 10: the highway, and Marti had been the one who called

2131
02:04:14,600 --> 02:04:15,800
Speaker 10: the cops on himself.

2132
02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:17,880
Speaker 2: This is crazy? Is two of these tonight? Go ahead?

2133
02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:21,000
Speaker 10: After taking a breathalyzer test, it was found that his

2134
02:04:21,080 --> 02:04:27,200
Speaker 10: blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit. Unnamed drunk

2135
02:04:27,280 --> 02:04:29,800
Speaker 10: driver from Nebraska. What kind of brand new fool are you?

2136
02:04:31,040 --> 02:04:34,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god? Well, these are some doozies tonight. I

2137
02:04:34,240 --> 02:04:37,920
Speaker 2: mean these are always, of course, you know, you never

2138
02:04:37,960 --> 02:04:39,640
Speaker 2: know where they're going to go. They start in one

2139
02:04:39,640 --> 02:04:43,280
Speaker 2: area and they up in another area. We had three

2140
02:04:43,360 --> 02:04:47,760
Speaker 2: real doozies tonight, man, but as always great work and

2141
02:04:48,080 --> 02:04:52,760
Speaker 2: we certainly applaud the efforts. Another rousing edition of What

2142
02:04:52,880 --> 02:04:55,640
Speaker 2: kind of brand New Fool Are You is now in

2143
02:04:55,720 --> 02:04:59,760
Speaker 2: the books, which allows us to segue into our second

2144
02:04:59,800 --> 02:05:03,680
Speaker 2: fie favorite bit, which we lovingly refer to as what

2145
02:05:03,880 --> 02:05:12,720
Speaker 2: My Name? And here we go. Jim Lang, all right, yes,

2146
02:05:12,800 --> 02:05:15,480
Speaker 2: we are sort of wrapping up March Madness now, but

2147
02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:19,240
Speaker 2: we'll have a little bit of a March Madness theme here.

2148
02:05:20,080 --> 02:05:23,840
Speaker 2: To this day when it comes to Michigan State basketball,

2149
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:28,360
Speaker 2: I am still the all time assists leader for Michigan

2150
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:36,600
Speaker 2: State Basketball, Mark Ramsey, what my name? Magic Johnson? A

2151
02:05:36,640 --> 02:05:40,200
Speaker 2: good guess, but not magic, not magic. And I asked

2152
02:05:40,200 --> 02:05:42,960
Speaker 2: this question for that reason, assuming that it would only

2153
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:48,320
Speaker 2: be logical to well, this Department of redundancy department assume

2154
02:05:48,640 --> 02:05:50,920
Speaker 2: that someone would assume it was magic Johnson. Still a

2155
02:05:50,920 --> 02:05:54,240
Speaker 2: good guess. Okay, I'm to this day still the all

2156
02:05:54,280 --> 02:05:58,400
Speaker 2: time leader and assists for Michigan State basketball. Kevin Wirrett.

2157
02:05:58,400 --> 02:05:58,920
Speaker 2: What my name?

2158
02:05:59,240 --> 02:06:01,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, my guest would have been Magic too. I'm trying

2159
02:06:01,320 --> 02:06:04,040
Speaker 6: to think Draymond Green.

2160
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:10,560
Speaker 2: Draymond Green, former Michigan State star, Not Draymond Green, Ian Roddy.

2161
02:06:10,840 --> 02:06:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm the all time assist leader in Michigan State. What

2162
02:06:13,640 --> 02:06:14,040
Speaker 2: my name?

2163
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:19,040
Speaker 10: Full disclosure here? Those were the two Michigan State basketball

2164
02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:21,000
Speaker 10: players that I knew off the top of my head.

2165
02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:23,560
Speaker 10: I'm trying trying to think of more and I cannot,

2166
02:06:23,600 --> 02:06:25,360
Speaker 10: So I'm going to say Larry Bird.

2167
02:06:27,040 --> 02:06:30,120
Speaker 2: All right, I love the effort. Actually, of course, Larry

2168
02:06:30,120 --> 02:06:33,680
Speaker 2: Bird went to Indiana State. We'll save some poor knucklehead

2169
02:06:33,680 --> 02:06:36,280
Speaker 2: from tweeting he did not go to Michigan State. It's okay,

2170
02:06:36,360 --> 02:06:39,400
Speaker 2: that's okay. We'll save some poor fine gentlemen from tweeting

2171
02:06:39,480 --> 02:06:42,760
Speaker 2: us and telling us how smart he is that Larry

2172
02:06:42,760 --> 02:06:45,400
Speaker 2: Bird did not go to Michigan State. Thanks for that. So, Actually,

2173
02:06:45,400 --> 02:06:48,600
Speaker 2: a gentleman by the name of Mateen Cleaves. Now Mateen

2174
02:06:48,760 --> 02:06:51,320
Speaker 2: was a star on the two thousand team town Izzo's team,

2175
02:06:51,680 --> 02:06:57,120
Speaker 2: a guard who led Michigan State to their last championship

2176
02:06:57,120 --> 02:06:58,960
Speaker 2: in two thousand when they be Florida. You actually got

2177
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:01,760
Speaker 2: a hurt in that game. But matteen Cleeves never quite

2178
02:07:01,840 --> 02:07:04,440
Speaker 2: panned out in the NBA, but he had quite a

2179
02:07:04,480 --> 02:07:08,480
Speaker 2: career at Michigan State. All right, you guys have here her.

2180
02:07:08,640 --> 02:07:11,400
Speaker 2: Let me see if I pronounced his name right, he said,

2181
02:07:11,480 --> 02:07:14,600
Speaker 2: kick Caitlin Clark. Have anybody heard of her name?

2182
02:07:15,080 --> 02:07:15,280
Speaker 3: No?

2183
02:07:15,800 --> 02:07:19,600
Speaker 2: I think maybe it might have Okay, yeah, yeah, I

2184
02:07:19,600 --> 02:07:23,440
Speaker 2: think so. Yeah. Well it turns out she has a boyfriend,

2185
02:07:24,320 --> 02:07:30,120
Speaker 2: and her boyfriend is the son of a famous college

2186
02:07:30,160 --> 02:07:34,800
Speaker 2: basketball coach. I'm that college basketball coach. What my name,

2187
02:07:34,920 --> 02:07:35,640
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey?

2188
02:07:37,960 --> 02:07:38,120
Speaker 7: Is it?

2189
02:07:38,200 --> 02:07:43,120
Speaker 2: Coach mess Amino, Rolly Massimino, Good Mark? I love your names, man,

2190
02:07:43,680 --> 02:07:46,880
Speaker 2: they have so much significance actually to trivia knuckleheads like me.

2191
02:07:46,960 --> 02:07:50,000
Speaker 2: Of course, Raley was the coach of that famous Villanova

2192
02:07:50,040 --> 02:07:53,520
Speaker 2: team that beat Georgetown in a huge upset in nineteen

2193
02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:55,880
Speaker 2: eighty five. And of course Roley had a stint here

2194
02:07:55,880 --> 02:07:58,920
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, which did not work well. It did

2195
02:07:58,920 --> 02:08:01,280
Speaker 2: not work well. But that's away for another day. Actually,

2196
02:08:01,320 --> 02:08:03,240
Speaker 2: it's not a story for another day because no one cares,

2197
02:08:03,720 --> 02:08:07,800
Speaker 2: not Rowley Massimino. All Right, I'm the father of Caitlin

2198

Speaker 2: Clark's boyfriend. I'm a famous basketball coach. Ian Roddy what

2200
02:08:19,960 --> 02:08:23,520
Speaker 2: but I love the effort. I'm the father of Caitlin

2201
02:08:23,560 --> 02:08:28,720
Speaker 2: Clark's boyfriend. I'm also a famous college basketball coach. Kevin Wirett,

Speaker 2: the chef. What my name? I'm gonna go John Calipari.

2203
02:08:31,520 --> 02:08:37,400
Speaker 2: Not John Calipari. Actually Fred McCaffrey, Frand McCaffrey of Iowa fame,

2204
02:08:38,280 --> 02:08:45,360
Speaker 2: Fran McCaffrey. All right, I bet you have all right,

2205
02:08:45,880 --> 02:08:51,240
Speaker 2: Moving away, moving along. Baseball has already had their first

2206
02:08:51,280 --> 02:08:54,800
Speaker 2: no hitter this season. It happens to be the earliest

2207
02:08:54,840 --> 02:08:59,160
Speaker 2: on the calendar a no hitter was thrown in Major

2208
02:08:59,200 --> 02:09:01,800
Speaker 2: League baseball. I'm the one who threw that no hitter.

2209
02:09:01,920 --> 02:09:03,160
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyatt what my name?

2210
02:09:03,640 --> 02:09:08,880
Speaker 6: Oh, my name slips my mind. Yeah, I can't get

2211
02:09:08,880 --> 02:09:09,800
Speaker 6: this one pass.

2212
02:09:10,200 --> 02:09:13,080
Speaker 2: It's okay, it's okay, my friend. We're all good. Don't

2213
02:09:13,120 --> 02:09:17,200
Speaker 2: stress out, my man, little cold compress. You know, it's

2214
02:09:17,240 --> 02:09:21,919
Speaker 2: all good. I have just most recently thrown the earliest

2215
02:09:21,960 --> 02:09:23,680
Speaker 2: no hitter in the history of the calendar of Major

2216
02:09:23,760 --> 02:09:26,000
Speaker 2: League Baseball. Ian Roddy. What my name.

2217
02:09:27,240 --> 02:09:29,440
Speaker 10: I'm not not the biggest baseball guy, so I don't

2218
02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:31,240
Speaker 10: know his first name, but I know it was Blanco.

2219
02:09:32,000 --> 02:09:36,160
Speaker 2: The judges are gonna allow it. It's actually Blanco, chef.

2220
02:09:36,160 --> 02:09:39,160
Speaker 2: Would you have gotten that first and last name? No?

2221
02:09:39,560 --> 02:09:41,760
Speaker 2: All right, See our judges are fairly leaning here, so

2222
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:44,520
Speaker 2: it's not like you said Janofsky. You got it. It was Blanco.

2223
02:09:44,960 --> 02:09:46,800
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, he Blanco the other team.

2224
02:09:46,880 --> 02:09:52,240
Speaker 2: Oh no, who writes this stuff here? All week, folks,

2225
02:09:52,280 --> 02:09:54,640
Speaker 2: it'll be up for Shaky Green and the catskills Tuesday.

2226
02:09:56,200 --> 02:10:02,160
Speaker 2: All right, the women's march mad? This is raging. Hey,

2227
02:10:03,240 --> 02:10:07,680
Speaker 2: I am a famous women's basketball coach. I have the

2228
02:10:07,720 --> 02:10:12,080
Speaker 2: distinction of leading my team to twenty three final fours.

2229
02:10:12,720 --> 02:10:17,400
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, what my name? Is it? The lady from LSU?

2230
02:10:18,240 --> 02:10:20,240
Speaker 2: Not the lady from LSU. That would be Kim Malkey.

2231
02:10:20,280 --> 02:10:23,720
Speaker 2: But that's a good guess. I, as a head basketball

2232
02:10:23,760 --> 02:10:26,520
Speaker 2: coach on the women's side, have the distinction of leading

2233
02:10:26,560 --> 02:10:30,000
Speaker 2: my school to twenty three final fours. Ian Roddy What

2234
02:10:30,120 --> 02:10:34,760
Speaker 2: my name? Hmmm? I doubt she's old enough. But could

2235
02:10:34,760 --> 02:10:40,880
Speaker 2: it be Lindsay Gottlieb. Not Lindsay Gottlieb. All right, I

2236
02:10:40,920 --> 02:10:43,920
Speaker 2: am a college basketball coach, and I have the distinction

2237
02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:48,120
Speaker 2: of leading my school to twenty three final fours, the

2238
02:10:48,240 --> 02:10:52,040
Speaker 2: chef Kevin Wyatt, what my name, Gino Arima? Gino Arima

2239
02:10:52,200 --> 02:10:57,200
Speaker 2: is what we are looking for? Correct A Mundo of

2240
02:10:57,320 --> 02:11:00,720
Speaker 2: Yukon fame, who just lost Friday night on that call.

2241
02:11:00,800 --> 02:11:03,880
Speaker 2: I promise you, guys, you watch the game tomorrow and

2242
02:11:03,920 --> 02:11:05,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about this at the top of the hour.

2243
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:06,960
Speaker 2: We're gonna have a little round table discussion. If you

2244
02:11:06,960 --> 02:11:11,000
Speaker 2: can only watch one of the two games Iowa South

2245
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:15,320
Speaker 2: Carolina or Monday night Purdue Yukon. If you only watch

2246
02:11:15,360 --> 02:11:16,840
Speaker 2: one of those two games, which one would it be?

2247
02:11:16,880 --> 02:11:19,200
Speaker 2: And why? And my answer might surprise you. All right,

2248
02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:24,840
Speaker 2: moving right along, how about a little NBA stuff. You know,

2249
02:11:24,880 --> 02:11:28,080
Speaker 2: there's fifty point games a routine now in the National

2250
02:11:28,120 --> 02:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Basketball Association. But I still hold, after all these years,

2251
02:11:32,200 --> 02:11:35,280
Speaker 2: the record for the most fifty point games in NBA history.

2252
02:11:36,040 --> 02:11:46,880
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, what my name Muggsy bugs? Alrighty dad, I

2253
02:11:46,880 --> 02:11:50,440
Speaker 2: don't think so, all right, I hold the record for

2254
02:11:50,480 --> 02:11:53,600
Speaker 2: the most fifty point games in NBA history. Ian Roddy,

2255
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:57,400
Speaker 2: what my name? Could it be? Kobe? Not Kobe, but

2256
02:11:57,400 --> 02:12:00,800
Speaker 2: that's not a bad guess. I hope the record for

2257
02:12:00,840 --> 02:12:03,680
Speaker 2: the most fifty point games in the National Basketball Association

2258
02:12:03,800 --> 02:12:06,640
Speaker 2: for a career. The chef Kevin Wyrett, what my name?

2259
02:12:06,800 --> 02:12:10,440
Speaker 2: Going with Wilt Chamberlain. It was Wilt Chamberlain of Courso

2260
02:12:10,600 --> 02:12:13,480
Speaker 2: is Will Chamberlain? That feels obvious? No one ahead, I'll

2261
02:12:13,520 --> 02:12:16,000
Speaker 2: bean my one hundred and eighteen of them. No one's

2262
02:12:16,040 --> 02:12:20,560
Speaker 2: even closed. However, let's have a little fun. I am

2263
02:12:20,640 --> 02:12:26,440
Speaker 2: the current leader and among all active players, among players

2264
02:12:26,480 --> 02:12:28,960
Speaker 2: who are still playing, I've had more fifty point games

2265
02:12:29,240 --> 02:12:33,640
Speaker 2: than anybody in NBA history. Among current players, Mark Ramsey,

2266
02:12:33,640 --> 02:12:37,760
Speaker 2: what my name? I know? This is wrong. His name

2267
02:12:37,840 --> 02:12:44,040
Speaker 2: was Wemby, Not Wemby, not Wemby, not yet. And among

2268
02:12:44,120 --> 02:12:46,680
Speaker 2: current players, I have more fifty point games than anybody

2269
02:12:46,720 --> 02:12:50,760
Speaker 2: in NBA history. The chef Kevin Wyrett. What my name?

2270
02:12:50,800 --> 02:12:55,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to guess Lebron James. Not Lebron James. He's

2271
02:12:55,240 --> 02:12:59,440
Speaker 2: behind this guy, all right, Ian Roddy, I have more

2272
02:12:59,680 --> 02:13:03,640
Speaker 2: fifty point games than any current player in NBA history.

2273
02:13:03,640 --> 02:13:08,080
Speaker 2: What my name is it? James Harden? It is James Harden. Yeah,

2274
02:13:08,320 --> 02:13:11,480
Speaker 2: all right. You may have heard the name Olden Polonies

2275
02:13:11,520 --> 02:13:13,400
Speaker 2: had a good NBA career. He's been a really good

2276
02:13:13,440 --> 02:13:16,480
Speaker 2: guest on this network many times. Olden Polly's former clipper

2277
02:13:16,480 --> 02:13:19,640
Speaker 2: among other teams. He used to too, he did. That's yeah,

2278
02:13:19,720 --> 02:13:22,200
Speaker 2: that's what he still does, doesn't. He's a guest on Vario.

2279
02:13:23,200 --> 02:13:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah he does. He's really good. We used to have

2280
02:13:25,720 --> 02:13:30,640
Speaker 2: mount in Detroit. Okay. I was traded for olden polonies

2281
02:13:31,840 --> 02:13:34,440
Speaker 2: and I went on to be part of NBA six

2282
02:13:34,640 --> 02:13:39,680
Speaker 2: NBA championships. Mark Ramsey, What my name? Reggie Miller? Not

2283
02:13:39,760 --> 02:13:42,920
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller. I was traded for olden Polinies and went

2284
02:13:42,960 --> 02:13:46,800
Speaker 2: on to be a part of six NBA champions championships.

2285
02:13:47,320 --> 02:13:51,520
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyrett, What my name? I'm gonna guess. Dennis Rodman.

2286
02:13:51,960 --> 02:13:54,560
Speaker 2: Not Dennis Rodman, but that's a pretty good guess. I

2287
02:13:54,680 --> 02:13:57,080
Speaker 2: was traded for olden Polonies and I went on on

2288
02:13:57,200 --> 02:13:59,320
Speaker 2: this by the way, I should correct this. I was

2289
02:13:59,360 --> 02:14:03,680
Speaker 2: traded for old policies on Draft night, and then I

2290
02:14:03,760 --> 02:14:08,560
Speaker 2: went on to to be a part of six NBA championships.

2291
02:14:09,440 --> 02:14:14,080
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy. What my name? I'm gonna guess? Steve Kerr,

2292
02:14:15,240 --> 02:14:17,480
Speaker 2: Not a bad guess, but not Steve Kerr. It's actually

2293
02:14:17,480 --> 02:14:20,480
Speaker 2: a name. Scott Pippen, if you guys ever heard of him,

2294
02:14:20,480 --> 02:14:24,360
Speaker 2: Scott some guy named Scott Pippen. Huh, he was actually

2295
02:14:24,360 --> 02:14:27,520
Speaker 2: traded on draft night. People forget that for olden polonies,

2296
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:31,560
Speaker 2: drafted out of Central Arkansas. All right, moving right along,

2297
02:14:31,600 --> 02:14:35,120
Speaker 2: one more guys, we'll have one more and then we're

2298
02:14:35,120 --> 02:14:37,920
Speaker 2: going to bring in the crew for another conversation. They've

2299
02:14:37,960 --> 02:14:40,160
Speaker 2: got some thoughts on Dak Prescott and Dallas. Want to

2300
02:14:40,160 --> 02:14:43,840
Speaker 2: get hear what they've got to say this. You know,

2301
02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:47,480
Speaker 2: you guys, people talk about records that will never be broken.

2302
02:14:47,600 --> 02:14:50,520
Speaker 2: I absolutely believe this is a record that will never

2303
02:14:50,600 --> 02:14:55,760
Speaker 2: be broken. I currently, in the history of Major League Baseball,

2304
02:14:55,880 --> 02:14:59,560
Speaker 2: hold the record for being intentionally walked more than anybody

2305
02:14:59,560 --> 02:15:01,880
Speaker 2: in history, a total of six hundred and eighty eight times.

2306
02:15:02,160 --> 02:15:08,680
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, what my name? Move on? I love it?

2307
02:15:09,120 --> 02:15:14,120
Speaker 2: Not movaon? All right? In my career at Major League Baseball,

2308
02:15:14,160 --> 02:15:16,600
Speaker 2: I was intentionally walked six hundred and eighty eight times.

2309
02:15:16,880 --> 02:15:22,040
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy what my name? Albert Poohols not Albert Poolhols,

2310
02:15:23,200 --> 02:15:27,200
Speaker 2: all right? In my Major League baseball career, I was

2311
02:15:27,240 --> 02:15:30,960
Speaker 2: intentionally walked six hundred eighty eight times. That's an all

2312
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:35,000
Speaker 2: time record. I don't think it'll ever be broken. The

2313
02:15:35,120 --> 02:15:38,200
Speaker 2: chef Kevin Wyrett, what my name? Barry Bonds. It is,

2314
02:15:38,280 --> 02:15:43,680
Speaker 2: in fact Barry Bonds. Nicely done, guys, another rousing edition,

2315
02:15:45,720 --> 02:15:46,880
Speaker 2: a brand new fool.

2316
02:15:46,920 --> 02:15:50,320
Speaker 11: And who was the guy from the Boston Red Sox

2317
02:15:50,360 --> 02:15:55,240
Speaker 11: I used to get uh right hand batter? He used

2318
02:15:55,240 --> 02:15:57,680
Speaker 11: to get walked all the time. He was a Boston

2319
02:15:58,080 --> 02:15:59,120
Speaker 11: Red Sox guy too.

2320
02:15:59,480 --> 02:16:04,280
Speaker 2: So what era would that have been? Seventies eighties? Could

2321
02:16:04,320 --> 02:16:11,480
Speaker 2: have been Carlton Fisk White, giant right hand hitter. I'll

2322
02:16:11,480 --> 02:16:14,720
Speaker 2: think Jim Rice. No, he was left handed? Was no

2323
02:16:14,800 --> 02:16:18,040
Speaker 2: Jim Jim Rice batted right handed? Okay, I'm thinking Evans.

2324
02:16:18,280 --> 02:16:18,600
Speaker 2: I don't.

2325
02:16:18,840 --> 02:16:21,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm thinking of another guy used to get walked

2326
02:16:21,680 --> 02:16:22,280
Speaker 11: a lot.

2327
02:16:22,560 --> 02:16:27,960
Speaker 2: You're not thinking of Carlia Strensky. No, he was a lefty. Okay, hmm. Well,

2328
02:16:27,960 --> 02:16:29,720
Speaker 2: we'll have to have the staff look at of that.

2329
02:16:29,880 --> 02:16:33,879
Speaker 2: But I'm sure there's an answer out there somewhere. All right,

2330
02:16:33,920 --> 02:16:38,640
Speaker 2: good stuff, guys, outstanding job, and uh there's still plenty

2331
02:16:38,840 --> 02:16:42,199

02:17:32,600 --> 02:17:34,440
Speaker 2: we were talking about. Barry Bonds as the all time

2347
02:17:34,520 --> 02:17:39,840

Speaker 2: hit by the pitch all the time and talking to

2352
02:17:51,000 --> 02:17:53,400
Speaker 2: mock off here because that's right, he was actually hit

2353
02:17:53,440 --> 02:17:57,120

2358
02:18:07,280 --> 02:18:11,160
Speaker 2: two topics. We'll mow through them, the Dak Prescott ordeal

2359
02:18:11,280 --> 02:18:14,880
Speaker 2: and if you can only watch one game this weekend

2360
02:18:14,879 --> 02:18:17,760
Speaker 2: of the remaining well actually Sunday and Monday, the remaining

02:18:24,720 --> 02:18:28,279
Speaker 2: the Iowahawkeyes are looking to win their championship South Carolina

2364
02:18:28,320 --> 02:18:30,480
Speaker 2: looking to exact the revenge, or we flip to Monday

2366
02:18:34,280 --> 02:18:36,840
Speaker 2: looking to repeat Perdue looking to win a championship. Great

2367
02:18:36,840 --> 02:18:39,440
Speaker 2: storylines either way, you could only watch one, which would

2368
02:18:39,480 --> 02:18:42,080
Speaker 2: it be? And what are their thoughts on Dak Prescott?

2369
02:18:42,080 --> 02:18:44,440
Speaker 2: Pay him or not? What do you think? But first

2370
02:18:44,520 --> 02:18:46,720
Speaker 2: go back to I Got a Chef with the latest.

2371
02:18:49,560 --> 02:18:54,400
Speaker 6: NCUBA Tournament Championship weekend as both the men and women

2372
02:18:54,879 --> 02:18:59,080
Speaker 6: have gone down to their final two teams. As Saturday

2373
02:18:59,120 --> 02:19:02,160
Speaker 6: saw the men's fine four Ukon going back to their

2374
02:19:02,200 --> 02:19:06,080
Speaker 6: second straight national championship game as they roll over Alabama

2375
02:19:06,200 --> 02:19:08,320
Speaker 6: eighty six to seventy two. But it was tied with

2376
02:19:08,360 --> 02:19:11,520
Speaker 6: twelve minutes ago until the Huskies really stepped on the

2377
02:19:11,520 --> 02:19:14,760
Speaker 6: gas pedal and won by double digits, as they have

2378
02:19:14,959 --> 02:19:20,000
Speaker 6: every game so far in this tournament. Top seeded Perdue

2379
02:19:20,120 --> 02:19:24,360
Speaker 6: living up to their high ranking after they got upset

2380
02:19:24,360 --> 02:19:27,440
Speaker 6: by Farley Dickinson a sixteen seed last year, they're now

2381
02:19:27,840 --> 02:19:31,360
Speaker 6: finding themselves a win away from a national championship as

2382
02:19:31,400 --> 02:19:34,040
Speaker 6: they cut short the Cinderella run of NC State the

2383
02:19:34,080 --> 02:19:37,800
Speaker 6: eleventh seeded wolf Pack, losing it to Purdue sixty three

2384
02:19:37,879 --> 02:19:43,080
Speaker 6: to fifty Zach Eedy with twelve, twenty points and twelve rebounds.

2385
02:19:43,480 --> 02:19:46,160
Speaker 6: On the women's side of things, Sunday is the final

2386
02:19:46,280 --> 02:19:49,760
Speaker 6: as South Carolina they're trying to cap an undefeated season

2387
02:19:49,800 --> 02:19:52,680
Speaker 6: and finish thirty eight to o the Iowa Hawk guys

2388
02:19:52,760 --> 02:19:57,440
Speaker 6: and Caitlin Clark and company trying to get their win

2389
02:19:57,600 --> 02:20:01,320
Speaker 6: after losing to LCU with a national championship game last season.

2390
02:20:01,400 --> 02:20:05,360
Speaker 6: The semifinal victory for the Hawkeys against Yukon drawing a

2391
02:20:05,520 --> 02:20:07,879
Speaker 6: record for a women's basketball game.

2392
02:20:07,760 --> 02:20:10,360
Speaker 2: Fourteen point two million viewers.

2393
02:20:10,360 --> 02:20:12,400
Speaker 6: Just to put that in perspective, that was more than

2394
02:20:12,440 --> 02:20:16,080
Speaker 6: all World Series games, all NBA Finals games, and was

2395
02:20:16,120 --> 02:20:20,160
Speaker 6: more than all but three college football games in the

2396
02:20:20,240 --> 02:20:23,480
Speaker 6: NBA regular season. NBA the regular season ends a week

2397
02:20:23,640 --> 02:20:26,560
Speaker 6: from a Sunday, the Lakers trying to play their way

2398
02:20:27,000 --> 02:20:29,200
Speaker 6: into at least the top half of that play in tournament.

2399
02:20:29,200 --> 02:20:31,560
Speaker 6: They now occupy in the eighth spot, as they won

2400
02:20:32,000 --> 02:20:35,240
Speaker 6: against Cleveland, won sixteen to ninety seven. Los Angeles has

2401
02:20:35,280 --> 02:20:39,520
Speaker 6: won nine of their last ten games. Brooklyn has Brooklyn

2402
02:20:39,600 --> 02:20:42,760
Speaker 6: trailed Detroit by fifteen points with only seven minutes ago,

2403
02:20:42,920 --> 02:20:45,440
Speaker 6: but they end up beating the Pistons one thirteen two

2404
02:20:45,560 --> 02:20:48,200
Speaker 6: one oh three. Sixers win at Memphis one sixteen to

2405
02:20:48,280 --> 02:20:51,960
Speaker 6: ninety six behind thirty points from Joel Embiid and the

2406
02:20:52,040 --> 02:20:54,240
Speaker 6: Nuggets over the Hawks won forty two to one.

2407
02:20:54,400 --> 02:20:54,640
Speaker 2: Ten.

2408
02:20:54,720 --> 02:20:58,920
Speaker 6: The NHL regular season ends April eighteenth. Bruins overtime winners

2409
02:20:58,959 --> 02:21:01,440
Speaker 6: against the Florida Panthers three to two. The Islanders shut

2410
02:21:01,440 --> 02:21:04,959
Speaker 6: out in Nashville, too nothing. The Jets beat the wild

2411
02:21:05,040 --> 02:21:08,560
Speaker 6: forward to two. Back to Bernie all right, chef, good stuff.

2412
02:21:08,560 --> 02:21:12,480
Speaker 6: As always today, Let's bring in the crew Ian Roddy.

2413
02:21:12,280 --> 02:21:14,920
Speaker 2: Let's start with you. You had some thoughts on Dak Prescott

2414
02:21:14,920 --> 02:21:17,920
Speaker 2: and that whole contract ordeal, which will be a story

2415
02:21:18,240 --> 02:21:19,280
Speaker 2: this entire season.

2416
02:21:19,959 --> 02:21:23,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's just it's kind of frustrating to watch this

2417
02:21:23,720 --> 02:21:27,000
Speaker 10: all play out, because if you're the Cowboys, how do

2418
02:21:27,080 --> 02:21:31,200
Speaker 10: you not pay Dak Prescott? Here, he's he was the

2419
02:21:31,320 --> 02:21:34,360
Speaker 10: leading MVP candidate for a good chunk of last season,

2420
02:21:34,400 --> 02:21:36,800
Speaker 10: and it was rightfully so too. It was the fact

2421
02:21:36,840 --> 02:21:41,000
Speaker 10: that from the pocket he was pretty much as dangerous

2422
02:21:41,000 --> 02:21:43,640
Speaker 10: as Mahomes for a stretch there, just with being able

2423
02:21:43,640 --> 02:21:47,080
Speaker 10: to use his arm and stuff. And obviously he came

2424
02:21:47,120 --> 02:21:48,560
Speaker 10: back down to earth a little bit there, but he

2425
02:21:48,680 --> 02:21:52,000
Speaker 10: showed that he's capable of doing that much. And the

2426
02:21:52,120 --> 02:21:56,440
Speaker 10: fact that he may not get a new contract from

2427
02:21:56,440 --> 02:21:59,520
Speaker 10: the team. Like I'm a Jets fan, I'm a New

2428
02:21:59,600 --> 02:22:03,039
Speaker 10: York Jets, let me start with that. So my team

2429
02:22:03,080 --> 02:22:06,880
Speaker 10: has not made the playoffs since twenty ten, So for

2430
02:22:06,920 --> 02:22:09,720
Speaker 10: me to be on the outside looking in at the Cowboys,

2431
02:22:09,720 --> 02:22:12,760
Speaker 10: who are you another team trying to lock down their

2432
02:22:12,800 --> 02:22:15,280
Speaker 10: franchise quarterback, find someone who can take them to the

2433
02:22:15,320 --> 02:22:18,760
Speaker 10: Promised Land. For a team that consistently is at least

2434
02:22:18,800 --> 02:22:21,520
Speaker 10: in the playoffs, making it every year for you to

2435
02:22:21,640 --> 02:22:25,920
Speaker 10: have someone like that who's also an MVP candidate. Look,

2436
02:22:26,400 --> 02:22:30,080
Speaker 10: one one team wins the Super Bowl every officer or

2437
02:22:30,160 --> 02:22:33,320
Speaker 10: every year. So the fact that it hasn't yet been

2438
02:22:33,400 --> 02:22:36,680
Speaker 10: Dak Prescott I don't view as an indictment on his

2439
02:22:36,840 --> 02:22:39,640
Speaker 10: potential to one day be a super Bowl winning quarterback.

2440
02:22:40,280 --> 02:22:43,440
Speaker 2: All right, that's well said. Look, you're basically making a

2441
02:22:43,480 --> 02:22:46,600
Speaker 2: case saying you better have cooler heads prevail because if

2442
02:22:46,600 --> 02:22:49,520
Speaker 2: you have designs on getting to the super Bowl, Dak

2443
02:22:49,560 --> 02:22:51,320
Speaker 2: still gives you your best chance to get there. That's

2444
02:22:51,360 --> 02:22:55,760
Speaker 2: kind of what im my takeaway is. Right, Good as

2445
02:22:55,760 --> 02:22:59,039
Speaker 2: well said, if you can only watch one game Sunday

2446
02:22:59,080 --> 02:23:01,480
Speaker 2: or Monday, which would it be, Yeah, it's the women's game.

2447
02:23:01,560 --> 02:23:05,600
Speaker 10: And I mean I I guess like if we talked

2448
02:23:05,600 --> 02:23:08,959
Speaker 10: about this a few years ago, just the thought that

2449
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:11,560
Speaker 10: this would even be a conversation on a national radio

2450
02:23:11,600 --> 02:23:15,080
Speaker 10: show would just be unfathomable. But it's a legitimate question.

2451
02:23:15,160 --> 02:23:18,800
Speaker 10: And to me, you have the storyline here with Caitlyn Clark,

2452
02:23:18,879 --> 02:23:23,240
Speaker 10: someone who's chasing greatness, who's arguably the greatest college basketball player,

2453
02:23:23,360 --> 02:23:27,119
Speaker 10: not just female player of all time, going up against

2454
02:23:27,200 --> 02:23:29,959
Speaker 10: a Juggernaut. They're you know, thirty seven and oh or

2455
02:23:30,000 --> 02:23:32,320
Speaker 10: thirty six and oh whatever it wound up being this season,

2456
02:23:32,560 --> 02:23:35,960
Speaker 10: they're going for the perfect record, and Caitlyn Clark, someone

2457
02:23:35,959 --> 02:23:38,440
Speaker 10: who could be the greatest basketball player of all time,

2458
02:23:38,600 --> 02:23:40,440
Speaker 10: is the only thing standing in the way of that.

2459
02:23:40,959 --> 02:23:43,520
Speaker 10: To me, that is just setting up like just a

2460
02:23:43,640 --> 02:23:45,440
Speaker 10: movie of a championship game.

2461
02:23:45,480 --> 02:23:49,800
Speaker 2: And well said, well, I'm with you. I'm gonna admit

2462
02:23:49,879 --> 02:23:51,879
Speaker 2: if I could only watch one of the two games,

2463
02:23:52,120 --> 02:23:55,520
Speaker 2: if anybody doubts, and you heard Kevin's update, fourteen million

2464
02:23:55,520 --> 02:23:57,320
Speaker 2: people watch the Friday night game. I think this is

2465
02:23:57,360 --> 02:24:00,800
Speaker 2: going to exceed that Sunday. If anybody doubts the popularity

2466
02:24:01,600 --> 02:24:05,720
Speaker 2: of this Iowa South Carolina matchup and the current popularity

2467
02:24:05,760 --> 02:24:09,800
Speaker 2: women's basketball given the marquee nature of names of players.

2468
02:24:10,840 --> 02:24:14,560
Speaker 2: They had open practices Saturday, both Iowa and South Carolina

2469
02:24:14,920 --> 02:24:19,240
Speaker 2: at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland. Seventeen thousand fans

2470
02:24:19,280 --> 02:24:25,000
Speaker 2: showed up. Seventeen thousand fans showed up for open practices.

2471
02:24:26,959 --> 02:24:30,400
Speaker 2: The chef Kevin wired your thoughts on Dak Prescott and

2472
02:24:30,440 --> 02:24:31,960
Speaker 2: if you only could watch one of the two games,

2473
02:24:31,959 --> 02:24:34,720
Speaker 2: which would it be? Well, first for Dak Prescott.

2474
02:24:35,560 --> 02:24:38,960
Speaker 6: I typically agree that he is not the reason the

2475
02:24:38,959 --> 02:24:42,200
Speaker 6: main reason that the Cowboys have not gotten a Super Bowl.

2476
02:24:42,640 --> 02:24:46,120
Speaker 6: The main reason is, I think Jarrah, it's him insisting

2477
02:24:46,160 --> 02:24:48,760
Speaker 6: on being the GM of the team. He really has

2478
02:24:48,800 --> 02:24:51,480
Speaker 6: to put someone who can construct a full roster in charge,

2479
02:24:51,520 --> 02:24:52,400
Speaker 6: because it seems like.

2480
02:24:52,360 --> 02:24:55,120
Speaker 2: That haven't they drafted pretty well? They have drafted pretty well,

2481
02:24:55,120 --> 02:24:57,280
Speaker 2: But I mean, I really what I want to get

2482
02:24:57,280 --> 02:24:59,600
Speaker 2: your thoughts, big fella, on would you pay Dak or not?

2483
02:25:00,400 --> 02:25:02,400
Speaker 2: I know You've probably got some real good stuff here

2484
02:25:02,560 --> 02:25:07,039
Speaker 2: on the analysis of the Cowboys and where they fall short,

2485
02:25:07,080 --> 02:25:09,240
Speaker 2: and I'm not disagreeing with you, but if you were

2486
02:25:09,280 --> 02:25:11,440
Speaker 2: the owner, would you pay Dak or I.

2487
02:25:11,440 --> 02:25:14,400
Speaker 6: Guess it depends on what the salary cap looks like

2488
02:25:14,440 --> 02:25:16,520
Speaker 6: for the rest of the team, and that really is

2489
02:25:16,520 --> 02:25:18,240
Speaker 6: what has to be taken into consideration.

2490
02:25:18,360 --> 02:25:18,600
Speaker 2: Now.

2491
02:25:19,400 --> 02:25:21,200
Speaker 6: It's going to be hard to find someone who is

2492
02:25:21,240 --> 02:25:24,520
Speaker 6: better for you right now than Dak Prescott. So if

2493
02:25:24,520 --> 02:25:27,000
Speaker 6: they do want to continue to be in contention for

2494
02:25:27,160 --> 02:25:29,440
Speaker 6: a Super Bowl, I think you do have to keep

2495
02:25:29,520 --> 02:25:32,360
Speaker 6: him and figure out where else on the roster you

2496
02:25:32,440 --> 02:25:34,959
Speaker 6: have to make cuts in order to accommodate that. But

2497
02:25:35,920 --> 02:25:38,600
Speaker 6: with him being thirty one years old. Maybe Dallas should

2498
02:25:38,600 --> 02:25:41,280
Speaker 6: look at maybe drafting a quarterback, not one to start

2499
02:25:41,400 --> 02:25:44,720
Speaker 6: right away, but maybe a developmental quarterback to at least

2500
02:25:45,400 --> 02:25:48,560
Speaker 6: look toward the future for a time when Dak might

2501
02:25:48,640 --> 02:25:51,080
Speaker 6: have to move on. Whether it's because he's gotten older,

2502
02:25:51,160 --> 02:25:55,039
Speaker 6: whether it's because Dallas doesn't want to pay him. I

2503
02:25:55,080 --> 02:25:57,160
Speaker 6: do think that they do have to start looking maybe

2504
02:25:57,200 --> 02:25:59,520
Speaker 6: down the line at a new quarterback. Right now, they're

2505
02:25:59,520 --> 02:26:02,960
Speaker 6: not going to get anything better, and it just comes

2506
02:26:02,959 --> 02:26:05,280
Speaker 6: down to how much room can they make for them

2507
02:26:05,560 --> 02:26:06,600
Speaker 6: in the salary cap.

2508
02:26:07,760 --> 02:26:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, I can't disagree with any he said. It's

2509
02:26:10,840 --> 02:26:14,800
Speaker 2: the pragmatic view. If you have any designs, I'm thinking

2510
02:26:14,800 --> 02:26:17,680
Speaker 2: you're gonna get to a super Bowl this year or beyond.

2511
02:26:17,800 --> 02:26:19,879
Speaker 2: Right now, it appears to Dak as a guy, even

2512
02:26:19,920 --> 02:26:22,880
Speaker 2: though I guess I just can't unsee what I've seen

2513
02:26:22,920 --> 02:26:25,120
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and I've done with them. But you're listen,

2514
02:26:25,520 --> 02:26:27,920
Speaker 2: you articulate it. Well, we can only watch one game

2515
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:30,760
Speaker 2: Sunday or Monday, which should it be, Oh, definitely tomorrow

2516
02:26:30,840 --> 02:26:31,520
Speaker 2: or tonight.

2517
02:26:31,560 --> 02:26:36,360
Speaker 6: I guess Sunday's women's matchups South Carolina. It's because the

2518
02:26:36,400 --> 02:26:41,480
Speaker 6: storyline as we were talking about before is way more

2519
02:26:41,520 --> 02:26:43,560
Speaker 6: compelling for the women's game than it is the men.

2520
02:26:43,680 --> 02:26:48,160
Speaker 6: It's because we have established teams, established superstars versus basketball

2521
02:26:48,640 --> 02:26:52,800
Speaker 6: or the men's basketball has been plagued with transfers one

2522
02:26:52,879 --> 02:26:55,560
Speaker 6: and done's you just don't get to know the teams

2523
02:26:55,600 --> 02:26:57,760
Speaker 6: the stars the way we have the last couple of

2524
02:26:57,840 --> 02:27:00,280
Speaker 6: years on the women's side of things, And with Aitlyn

2525
02:27:00,320 --> 02:27:02,840
Speaker 6: Clark being the biggest superstar we've seen in quite a

2526
02:27:02,840 --> 02:27:05,400
Speaker 6: long time, both in the women's and the men's side

2527
02:27:05,440 --> 02:27:07,840
Speaker 6: of things, that right there, her trying to kind of

2528
02:27:07,879 --> 02:27:11,039
Speaker 6: cement her legacy by winning a championship, that's a compelling

2529
02:27:11,080 --> 02:27:14,240
Speaker 6: store line versus South Carolina trying to go thirty eight

2530
02:27:14,320 --> 02:27:16,480
Speaker 6: and oh and I know they have a way to

2531
02:27:16,520 --> 02:27:20,519
Speaker 6: catch up to those dominant Yukon dynasties, but an undefeated

2532
02:27:20,600 --> 02:27:26,920
Speaker 6: season you can't get any better than that. So what's

2533
02:27:26,920 --> 02:27:29,720
Speaker 6: on the line, what this game is going to be for?

2534
02:27:29,920 --> 02:27:32,120
Speaker 6: I mean, I can't see how the men's game will

2535
02:27:32,120 --> 02:27:35,800
Speaker 6: compare to that this year. So yes, I'm definitely way

2536
02:27:35,840 --> 02:27:38,920
Speaker 6: more excited to watch South Carolina IOWA the women's national

2537
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:42,240
Speaker 6: championship game than I am for purduing Yukon.

2538
02:27:42,800 --> 02:27:46,160
Speaker 2: So three for three for all the same reasons. Mark Ramsey,

2539
02:27:46,240 --> 02:27:48,680
Speaker 2: you got the last word on Dak Prescott and if

2540
02:27:48,680 --> 02:27:50,119
Speaker 2: you only watch one of the two games.

2541
02:27:49,920 --> 02:27:53,680
Speaker 11: Which true to be, I'm more inclined to give Dak

2542
02:27:53,879 --> 02:27:57,119
Speaker 11: another season to play. And I think we were already

2543
02:27:57,120 --> 02:28:02,480
Speaker 11: brought up Dallas should get another quarterback. Based on what

2544
02:28:03,160 --> 02:28:06,360
Speaker 11: Dak has done, it seems like he's getting closer and closer.

2545
02:28:06,400 --> 02:28:10,160
Speaker 11: I'm not sure if it's because of personnel or just

2546
02:28:10,440 --> 02:28:14,720
Speaker 11: him not being able to will the team across the

2547
02:28:14,760 --> 02:28:18,039
Speaker 11: line to get them through the playoffs and get to

2548
02:28:18,160 --> 02:28:21,360
Speaker 11: at least get to the super Bowl. So give him

2549
02:28:21,360 --> 02:28:24,800
Speaker 11: one more season, go to quarterback, because eventually you're going

2550
02:28:24,840 --> 02:28:27,440
Speaker 11: to have to make a decision to either have him

2551
02:28:27,480 --> 02:28:30,520
Speaker 11: move on and try with someone else and start a

2552
02:28:30,560 --> 02:28:33,520
Speaker 11: new quarterback and just start the whole process for Dallas

2553
02:28:33,560 --> 02:28:37,000
Speaker 11: to get better at the quarterback position. Then when it

2554
02:28:37,040 --> 02:28:40,480
Speaker 11: comes to the basketball games, if the judges will allow,

2555
02:28:40,959 --> 02:28:43,800
Speaker 11: I would watch the second half of the women's and

2556
02:28:43,879 --> 02:28:45,480
Speaker 11: watch the full game for the men.

2557
02:28:46,280 --> 02:28:49,080
Speaker 2: Judges will allow it. It shows you, you see, because

2558
02:28:49,600 --> 02:28:52,320
Speaker 2: I think Ian might have brought this up. You think

2559
02:28:52,360 --> 02:28:54,920
Speaker 2: about this conversation, guys. If I'd have brought this up

2560
02:28:54,959 --> 02:28:58,440
Speaker 2: three years ago. You had me draw tested it. Just

2561
02:28:59,080 --> 02:29:03,320
Speaker 2: give the women's game. And you know, we don't have

2562
02:29:03,440 --> 02:29:06,880
Speaker 2: royalty in this country. Our athletes and our entertainers are royalty.

2563
02:29:06,959 --> 02:29:09,640
Speaker 2: And I don't care whether people like Caitlin Clark or not.

2564
02:29:09,720 --> 02:29:13,160
Speaker 2: She's phenomenal. She is currently our royalty among other a

2565
02:29:13,200 --> 02:29:15,199
Speaker 2: lot of other great players, but she's the only one

2566
02:29:15,320 --> 02:29:18,120
Speaker 2: that's the all time scoring leader, and she's been able

2567
02:29:18,160 --> 02:29:20,000
Speaker 2: to do what Dak Prescott has when that's when the

2568
02:29:20,040 --> 02:29:22,840
Speaker 2: situation demands greatness, she's been able to be great. Well,

2569
02:29:22,879 --> 02:29:26,480
Speaker 2: she's taking do it Sunday against the far superior team,

2570
02:29:26,560 --> 02:29:29,320
Speaker 2: I believe, but they beat him last year. I would

2571
02:29:29,360 --> 02:29:32,720
Speaker 2: beat him last year. And there's there's other storylines here.

2572
02:29:32,840 --> 02:29:35,039
Speaker 2: So point taking as key as you were willing to

2573
02:29:35,040 --> 02:29:37,240
Speaker 2: watch the women's game, we're all watch the women's game.

2574
02:29:37,280 --> 02:29:39,560
Speaker 2: And if you only watch one, I probably watched that

2575
02:29:39,600 --> 02:29:42,360
Speaker 2: one because I think Yukon's is gonna beat Purdue, and

2576
02:29:42,640 --> 02:29:45,240
Speaker 2: I don't really know who's gonna win the South Carolina

2577
02:29:45,560 --> 02:29:48,920
Speaker 2: Iowa game. And this is Caitlin Clark's final forty minutes

2578
02:29:49,440 --> 02:29:53,480
Speaker 2: of college basketball before she's onto the WNBA. So there

2579
02:29:53,480 --> 02:29:57,400
Speaker 2: are a lot of storylines there and showing it at

2580
02:29:57,480 --> 02:30:01,120
Speaker 2: noon Pacific and three o'clock Eastern. So well, there you

2581
02:30:01,160 --> 02:30:04,320
Speaker 2: have it. Good stuff tonight, guys. Coming up, we wrap

2582
02:30:04,400 --> 02:30:08,000
Speaker 2: up the show, and I want to share with you

2583
02:30:08,080 --> 02:30:11,920
Speaker 2: a major decision made by an iconic athlete in the

2584
02:30:11,920 --> 02:30:15,240
Speaker 2: world of sports that will also maybe have you scratching

2585
02:30:15,280 --> 02:30:18,440
Speaker 2: your head. This is a major decision, maybe the biggest

2586
02:30:18,440 --> 02:30:21,760
Speaker 2: story of the year as we head into the Masters.

2587
02:30:22,120 --> 02:30:25,280
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle coming to live. Was that a little

2588
02:30:25,280 --> 02:30:28,520
Speaker 2: tongue in cheek? You'll find out in a minute. I'm

2589
02:30:28,520 --> 02:30:30,480
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle, come to your live from Las Vegas, Fox

Speaker 2: City in for the Great Ben mallor for my thirteenth time.

2621
02:32:25,080 --> 02:32:30,760
Speaker 2: I just said that, Department of Redundancy department. A major decision,

2622
02:32:30,840 --> 02:32:35,879
Speaker 2: perhaps the greatest sports story of the year, perhaps the decade,

2623
02:32:35,920 --> 02:32:42,120
Speaker 2: perhaps the millennium. As the Masters tease off Thursday morning

2624
02:32:43,120 --> 02:32:50,920
Speaker 2: in Augusta, the Great Tiger Woods, who, in int parcel

2625
02:32:50,959 --> 02:32:55,000
Speaker 2: to his preparation to get ready for the field, has

2626
02:32:55,040 --> 02:33:04,800
Speaker 2: decided to wait for it, abstain from sex, staying from sex. Sorry, Mark,

2627
02:33:04,840 --> 02:33:08,000
Speaker 2: I was begging for one there. Yes, Tiger Woods has

2628
02:33:08,040 --> 02:33:11,400
Speaker 2: basically said no sex before a fight as he heads

2629
02:33:11,480 --> 02:33:16,240
Speaker 2: into the Masters Thursday. What are you doing, man? You

2630
02:33:16,280 --> 02:33:21,320
Speaker 2: were a legend. You were you were you were, You

2631
02:33:21,400 --> 02:33:25,280
Speaker 2: were a waffle house legend. That's when you were witty tournaments, dude.

2632
02:33:27,280 --> 02:33:28,960
Speaker 2: There are a lot of factors that go into an

2633
02:33:28,959 --> 02:33:32,320
Speaker 2: athlete's decline. I get it, Okay, Father Time's undefeated. Actually no,

2634
02:33:32,360 --> 02:33:34,959
Speaker 2: it's not true. Tom Brady beat Father Time. Don't act

2635
02:33:35,040 --> 02:33:38,640
Speaker 2: like he did. But the human body breaks down, you know,

2636
02:33:38,680 --> 02:33:43,720
Speaker 2: it's a machine. It breaks down. But Tiger and making

2637
02:33:43,800 --> 02:33:47,640
Speaker 2: preparations to complete compete in his Master's tournament this week,

2638
02:33:48,120 --> 02:33:50,760
Speaker 2: is taking drastic measures to ensure that he's ready to play.

2639
02:33:52,080 --> 02:33:54,680
Speaker 2: One of his friends on his behalf speaking said, man,

2640
02:33:54,720 --> 02:34:01,279
Speaker 2: he's focused, he's really working hard in the gym, he's

2641
02:34:01,440 --> 02:34:08,800
Speaker 2: eating right, he's even eliminated sex. Ah. Man, you know

2642
02:34:08,879 --> 02:34:12,400
Speaker 2: it's just like a a trick. Is this a hoax?

2643
02:34:12,520 --> 02:34:17,320
Speaker 2: Is this a fugazy I realized the Masters is the

2644
02:34:17,360 --> 02:34:20,360
Speaker 2: one event that's Tiger's must play event every year, because

2645
02:34:20,400 --> 02:34:22,840
Speaker 2: he still probably would, deep down want to catch Jack

2646
02:34:22,879 --> 02:34:26,080
Speaker 2: even though face Tiger turns forty nine this December. I

2647
02:34:26,080 --> 02:34:31,320
Speaker 2: think that ship has sailed. Okay, so this is a story,

2648
02:34:31,800 --> 02:34:34,480
Speaker 2: And maybe he's taking a page from the great Rocky Balbo,

2649
02:34:34,600 --> 02:34:39,520
Speaker 2: who once said women weaken legs? Do they? I don't know.

2650
02:34:40,879 --> 02:34:44,560
Speaker 2: Lou Costanza on Seinfeld once went six weeks without having

2651
02:34:44,600 --> 02:34:49,600
Speaker 2: sex and it turned him into an area died intellectual. Yes, facts,

2652
02:34:49,879 --> 02:34:53,720
Speaker 2: we deal in facts. Here here's some more facts. No

2653
02:34:53,760 --> 02:34:56,320
Speaker 2: matter what your coach tells you, no matter what your

2654
02:34:56,360 --> 02:35:01,320
Speaker 2: trainer tells you, there is no ev that having sex

2655
02:35:01,320 --> 02:35:05,320
Speaker 2: before the big game weakens you. There have been anecdotal studies,

2656
02:35:05,360 --> 02:35:09,080
Speaker 2: there have been scientific studies sex before competition does not

2657
02:35:09,120 --> 02:35:12,320
Speaker 2: appear to harm an athletes performance. This research was done

2658
02:35:12,320 --> 02:35:14,800
Speaker 2: in Italy and they would know, and I'm Italian, so

2659
02:35:14,879 --> 02:35:17,120
Speaker 2: I believe them. Quote according to a lady by the

2660
02:35:17,160 --> 02:35:20,039
Speaker 2: name of lors Stefani, who authored a report that was

2661
02:35:20,040 --> 02:35:24,199
Speaker 2: found once in Frontiers and Physiology. They reviewed nine studies

2662
02:35:24,200 --> 02:35:28,400
Speaker 2: that examined the impact of sexual activity on sports performance,

2663
02:35:28,440 --> 02:35:33,160
Speaker 2: and their findings were again published in Frontiers and Physiology. Quote.

2664
02:35:33,160 --> 02:35:38,240
Speaker 2: Abstaining from sexual activity before athletic competition is controversial topic

2665
02:35:38,280 --> 02:35:41,640
Speaker 2: in the world of sports. According to Louras Stefani, however,

2666
02:35:41,680 --> 02:35:46,240
Speaker 2: we showed no robust scientific evidence to indicate that sexual

2667
02:35:46,240 --> 02:35:51,080
Speaker 2: activity has a negative effect upon athletic results. Unquote. Stefani

2668
02:35:51,640 --> 02:35:54,680
Speaker 2: is an assistant professor of Sports medicine at the University

2669
02:35:54,680 --> 02:35:58,000
Speaker 2: of Florence. She said, well, little research has been done

2670
02:35:58,040 --> 02:36:00,959
Speaker 2: on the topic, but clearly show that even though it's

2671
02:36:00,959 --> 02:36:03,680
Speaker 2: not been well investigated and they are mostly only in

2672
02:36:03,760 --> 02:36:09,280
Speaker 2: anecdotal stories, there's no evidence unless, of course, the act

2673
02:36:09,360 --> 02:36:12,920
Speaker 2: takes place within two hours of the sport, then that's

2674
02:36:13,320 --> 02:36:17,680
Speaker 2: actually shown it may have a beneficial effect on sports performance.

2675
02:36:17,840 --> 02:36:20,840
Speaker 2: Come on, Tiger, you know what to do. Start combing

2676
02:36:20,840 --> 02:36:24,280
Speaker 2: the waffle houses. Again and standing from sex. Surely you jest.

2677
02:36:24,720 --> 02:36:28,119
Speaker 2: We'll see how the Tiger Woods does in the mattress

2678
02:36:28,160 --> 02:36:30,400
Speaker 2: this week. See Wednesday night at the Ben Mallor Show

2679
02:36:30,400 --> 02:36:33,600
Speaker 2: eleven pm. In the meantime, keep it locked up next
