00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: about it doing a spot that I do every week

34
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,760

43
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: I didn't want to read on it. I didn't want

44
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: to click on anything involving the game. There could have

45
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,000

Speaker 1: on the internet, on TV, click move, looked away. One

62
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: time I tried to change the channe. I'm like, I'm

63
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: just gonna look away. What am I doing?

64
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: What am I doing? Why do I just closing my eyes?

65
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 3: Why just closing my out? I don't need to see it.

66
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: I don't need to see it.

67
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: No, not watching cartoons, man, No, not great. I don't

68
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: think they made it a cartoon yet for you. But

69
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: I think you know it's one of those you'd be

70
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: really mad if you opened up an article and start

71
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: reading and all of a sudden they spoiled the meaning

72
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: of life for you.

73
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: It's like if they.

74
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: Didn't tell me it was a spoiler alert. Well, it

75
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 2: was how do I now go the rest of my day?

76
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean I had to get it

77
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: all figured out. What's the point of everything else?

78
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 4: Then?

79
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was just the meaning of life.

80
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's you know, I don't know

81
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: if that's gonna be something. Okay, meaning of life is great.

82
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: But I was like, oh, okay, but if you're give

83
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: me the secret to eternal life, oh that's fine.

84
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't want it.

85
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: I don't need it. But here's the problem is you'd

86
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: finish that article and it would say continued on page eighteen,

87
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: and you'd go back to page eighteen and to be

88
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: a full page ad for the latest final destination movie

89
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,640

99
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 5: No, Haliburton inbounded it right to Towns who couldn't get

100
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: the three pointer off in time, and the Pacers get

101
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 5: the job done, walking off with their heads held high,

102
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,040

Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, okay, that's great.

104
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: I mean that was a bigger troll move than the

105
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: choke job thing, the joke job. I mean, you would

106
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: expect the here. You can't really take a shot with

107
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: point two blank. You move takes it to a whole

108
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 2: other level, didn't it.

109
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 3: You know what I mean it, buddy, I can't. I

110
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: can't do it, man.

111
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: I want to hit fast forward until Game two is

112
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: over tomorrow night, which the Knicks will probably lose by

113
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: twenty I mean, really, the only thing, and I'll give

114
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: you this, right, we'll get to the we'll get to

115
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: the Thunder and the Pacers of the Pacers. I can'top

116
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: take another pacer to the Thunder the te wolves in

117
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: a second. The only thing that allowed me to get

Speaker 1: up today sports wise, right and and have a day.

119
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: Until until I saw the replay.

120
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Haliburton completely double drup because I thought the

121
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: ball got knocked out of his hands when had happened.

122
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, okay, well ball got knocked out of

123
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: his hand. He's getting Oh no, no, no, no.

124
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: You see that big slow mo NFL films replay like

125
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: the chauffeur of a large limousine content to let the

126
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: pods do the driving.

127
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, that just fell out of his hands.

128
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: No call. What got me out of bed today was this?

129
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: Was it?

130
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: The way Indiana celebrated and seemed so way overly self

131
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: satisfied after that game was over. Right, you had the

132
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: Halliburton choke at the end of regulation. Right, you had

133
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: them running on the court like they just qualified for

134
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, didn't just win Game one. Players all

135
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: laughing during the interviews after the game, even Rick Carlyle,

136
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: who usually only likes to stick the knife into the officials,

137
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: sticking the knife into the Knick, saying, ah, you know,

138
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: it's emotional. Halliburton's earned the right to do whatever he wants. Okay, okay,

139
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: because if I'm the Knicks, I'm like anger and inside

140
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: out by this steam is going through my ears, going okay,

141
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: you want to.

142
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 3: Honk it up and do the choke thing and do that?

143
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: Okay, it's game one like, that's the thing that got

144
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: me up today that if I had any concern that

145
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: the Knicks can just get up and start spewing blood

146
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: and be ready for the rest of this series, have

147
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: a complete attitude and game adjustment. That's the one thing

148
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: that's the one silver line in that. Boy, Indiana really

149
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: seems like they were ready, like they were celebrating, like

150
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: they won Game seven. Now that being said, again, where

151
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: do you go after that loss? Teams were one thy

152
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: four hundred and fourteen wins and zero losses leading by

153
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: nine or more with fifty seconds left in regulation since

154
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: the NBA started keeping track in nineteen ninety five, fourteen

155
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: hundred up and zero down, which is what I keep

156
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: going back to go, how are.

157
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 3: We going to come back from that? How? How did

158
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: the Nicks come back from that? But my dad is

159
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 3: my silver line that.

160
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Boy, the Pacers really looked like they I don't want

161
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: to say they awaken to sleeping giant because it's Look,

162
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: it's the NBA, it's the Eastern Conference Finals. But boy,

163
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: if you needed something else to show you about bearing

164
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: down mentally and playing and playing bigger and making sure

165
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: that you don't have any laps at the end of

166
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: the game and watching Ogano Nobi just lay off of

167
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: every time I'm nee Smith got the ball to let

168
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: him shoot a three, Like, I don't know what else

169
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: there is there. That's the one silver lining I had

170
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: in the day today.

171
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, a lot of battles on that sideline. Tibbs

172
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: went through the throat laws and just screaming, would somebody

173
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: get out on this man? Kat always a step too slow.

174
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: You look at the overhead views over the shot chart,

175
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: you do the overlay a lot of wide open spaces

176
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: for open threes, so I gotta think the close out

177
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: to better. The other thing is, look, I know you

178
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 2: only go seven deep, which means you've got a couple

179
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: of folks that might be able to give you a

180
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: hard follow or two and really not affect any other

181
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: part of the game. So just saying, maybe, you know,

182
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: we've been talking a lot about the tush push and

183
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: rugby scrums, and I'm tougher than you. Let's hire a

184
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: bunch of the Samoan guys from the WWE and the

185
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: Bloodline to block for you.

186
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, maybe they've come out to set a

187
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 6: screen or two tomorrow night to make folks think a

188
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 6: little bit as they're moving around the defensive perimeter. Just

189
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 6: just saying, maybe maybe you get a little bit of that,

190
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 6: but yeah, you're you're not gonna give up that many

191
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 6: wide open shots.

192
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: Again, Nie Smith had the game of his life. No,

193
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: he did score twenty five against the Knicks. Going back

194
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: to a game at the end of December, I'm.

195
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: Not helping, not helping, you're not helping.

196
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying it's but it's one data plot.

197
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: It's one plot. Okay, I'm trying. I'm trying to say

198
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: on the large st, the guy had eight twenty point

199
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: games all year long. I don't think he's suddenly a

200
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: guy that's gonna be a lights out dead eye shooter,

201
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: you know, like Hawkeye, like our guy Jeremy Renner, that

202
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: he's he's not coming back for a season two. I

203
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: don't think just like Jeremy Renner.

204
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: Again, this will only do so much for me, buddy,

205
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: This will only try it.

206
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: But I know I ordered some Geordonald's it'll be here

207
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: next week. And I know I know you know I

208
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: got that going for us.

209
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: I know you trying, man, but I mean, really, I'm

210
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: not gonna and I don't know how am I gonna

211
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: feel if the Knicks win Game two?

212
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I feel better.

213
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: Okay, they got they got it back, but I'll feel

214
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: they should be two games to none. But would it

215
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: be two games to none if they didn't have whatever

216
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: fire they have tomorrow night for giving away game? There's

217
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: nothing there, There's there's nothing. There's nothing that can make

218
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: me feel better shortage short of they beat the Pacers

219
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: and go on to the NBA Finals.

220
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: That's it. And I feel like it's gonna be a

221
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 3: sweep now, because.

222
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: Again, how do you come back from with a fourteen

223
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: point lead and two minutes and fifty seconds left. NBA

224
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: teams were nine hundred and seventy seven and oh, since

225
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: they've been keeping track in since nineteen ninety.

226
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: Tattoo those on your on your fingers those I got

227
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: one hand into instead of love. It says one four

228
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: one four and the other one says ninety seven seven?

229
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: What are we doing? Powell?

230
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: You're like you got you gotta let it go?

231
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: Like the sideshow Bob when he had Bart's name on

232
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: the tattooed on.

233
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: His exactly deep Bart d straight out straight out of

234
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: a little little cape fear for us all.

235
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 3: But it stands for the bart the oh okay, oh

236
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: that's right.

237
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I know it's it's been a tough twenty

238
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 2: not great, but Jack donya earlier, I mean, you vetoed

239
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: my idea that you know, this was the day to

240
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: let everybody just you know, like Luke Skywalker standing there

241
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: and they opened the cannons and really just start firing

242
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 2: and firing and then he brushes off his shoulder and

243
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: all that that maybe we just opened the phone lines

244
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: for four hours and just sit back and let people

245
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: onload on you.

246
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 3: Fire every cannon on that man, every cannon.

247
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: He's not running the office.

248
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: I'll continue to be not great for a while. But

249
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: right now, let's get to the game happening. Middle of

250
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: the third quarter, sixty eight to sixty one, Thunder looking

251
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: to take a two games to non lead. It was

252
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: a slow start for Shay Gilgess Alexander, but now leading

253
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: the way with twenty one points, making a five point lead.

254
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 3: Now sixty eight to sixty three.

255
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota coming out like we thought last night, and we

256
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: picked this game and we gave our big picks for DraftKings.

257
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: I said, look, give me the over for Anthony Edwards.

258
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: He knows that he had a game in Game one

259
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: that he needed to play better. He needed to do more,

260
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: he needed to bring more to the table. This is

261
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: the thing about Ann Edwards. He doesn't play with the

262
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: consistency that the great NBA players all play with. You

263
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: want to make a Michael Jordan, Well, he can't show

264
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: up for four out of six games in a playoff series,

265
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: so we knew this had to.

266
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: Be a bigger game.

267
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: He is playing extremely well over the course of the

268
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: last few minutes, helping get the t Wolves back in

269
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: this He's at eighteen eight and four, shooting eight for

270
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: nineteen from the floor, still not hitting threes but that happens,

271
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: but still leading the way now for the t Wolves

272
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: because he's got to do this right. But this hearkens

273
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: back to why I picked the Thunder in the beginning,

274
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: is that you need your best players to be great

275
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: throughout an entire series. And I have confidence that even

276
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: when SGA is getting shut down or they're doing things

277
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: to slow him, he finds a way to impact the game.

278
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: He gets to the free throw a lot, He does

279
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different things, and Ann Edwards doesn't do

280
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: it quite as often. He has those couple of games

281
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: a series where boy, he really needed to be if

282
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: we were gonna win. And you can't give the Thunder

283
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: games like that because they're just two good. So still

284
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: a five point lead for the Thunder right now, six

285
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: and a half to go in.

286
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: The third twenty one for SGA got his MVP love

287
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: and you hear the chant all night long. Also five

288
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: assists in this one, moving the ball around quite well.

289
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: Williams with fifteen thus far, seven of eleven shooting the

290
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: other side. Right, we talk about Edwards and the need

291
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: to be aggressive one of seven from three. But where

292
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: where they need some help? They they've gotten McDaniel's going.

293
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: But Julius Randall just two of nine thus far after

294
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: that huge game one, so.

295
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: True, clearly he's affected by the next giving away game

296
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: in a great game and now he's two for nine.

297
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: He can't hit it three, he stays, I'm telling you

298
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: it's like they're all sharing the same brain still. And

299
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: when you know it's like space jam, when when when

300
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: they when the bodies go out, the bodies go out.

301
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: All of them, all across the board. That's what happens.

302
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: Wow, it just took down the entire network, just like

303
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: at like someone flipped the switch. Julius Randall, your guy.

304
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: I mean telling you, man, that's that's how it works.

305
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 3: That's how it works.

306
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: The Nick, the Knicks, they they they bring you up

307
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: really high and then they bring it down really really low,

308
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: just so so very low.

309
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: Well, but that's it's okay. I mean you still have

310
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: at least three more chances. See what I did for

311
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: you there at least.

312
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, I really I want to.

313
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: I want to fast forward to tomorrow night when the

346
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: or a few weeks ago, you're like, oh, you know,

Speaker 1: over the course of last two weeks, wait a minute,

352
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,960

353
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: and I don't even think about it because like I'll

354
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: eat at six o'clock at night, and then if I

355
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: have a snack at nine, I'm a snack at nine.

356
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: But because I don't eat after that anymore. Like by

357
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: the time I go to sleep, wake up, get ready

358
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: for the day, I'm like, it's noon. I've been fasting

Speaker 1: it's gonna change, and it's going to be a good

417
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: change because the twelve team college football playoff is going

418
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,360

Speaker 1: the selection committee's top four teams with the top four

420
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: seeds and the first round. By now, if you win

421
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,440

422
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: if you win five, you know you get in, but

423
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: you don't automatically get one of the top four seeds.

424
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: It goes along record and how they feel, how good

425
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: your team is. This a move that needed to be

426
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: made considering how easy some of the paths were last

427
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: year for some teams, So this was a needed change.

00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: is made possible because of that moment.

470
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I had the series after right, the next year

471
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 7: they did it, but like the whole the home mistology

472
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 7: about the oh Haliburt did that in game one and all.

473
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 7: You know, Yeah, but like I said, I could have

474
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 7: sworn that Reggie did that like in three or four

475
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 7: and it was not the thing.

476
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: You're right, I forgot.

477
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 7: Then they they lost that series and the next year

478
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,239
Speaker 7: Ewing blows the lay up.

479
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 4: Right, that's yeah, I've got the crowd, dude, Like, I'm sorry,

480
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be more.

481
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 7: Fun the COT playoffs. They made a good decision. Everyone's

482
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 7: gonna be happier now, it's gonna be better.

483
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: No, I no, I Like, I mean, look, we talked

484
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: about this when when the when it was going on

485
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: that hey, really not fair that just because you won

486
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: one of the weaker conferences you get the high seed,

487
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: you get the buye, you get.

488
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 3: A playoff game. This has done fairly.

489
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: Look, you win your conference, you win your conference, you

490
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: get in, which is great, right, I believe that that's great.

491
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: But now now, hey, we're gonna seed according to how

492
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: good the teams are. Okay, that might get us better

493
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: games in the first round. They're not just blowouts like

494
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: we saw last year. And when the novelty it's.

495
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 7: Gonna go off, you'll get blowouts. It'll just be different.

496
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 7: It'll just be you know, you're you're not gonna get

497
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 7: because those those twelve seeds on the twelve seats still

498
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 7: gonna stuck. I mean, you're still gonna have smu. You know,

499
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 7: let's throw them a cookie. You know, they're gonna still

500
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 7: get rocked by you know, whatever SEC or big you know,

501
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 7: Ohio Steed.

502
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 4: Or whoever they would have played.

503
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 7: But like, yeah, you had to do this. This is

504
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 7: cos the Oregon provision where yes, okay, so Ohio State

505
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 7: really was tennant two and they lost to Michigan and

506
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 7: you know, but still if you're Oregon, hey congrats, you're

507
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 7: the number one overall seed in the tournament and your

508
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 7: first game is against that Ohio state team. That's not

509
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: that's just staying right, you know, that's there's no advantage

510
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 7: to that one. Uh, big winner continues to be notre dame.

511
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 7: You know, just go ten and two and you're gonna

512
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 7: probably be in this thing, especially in the expand of sixteen.

513
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: But it's good.

514
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 7: I mean, you're still gonna get blowouts because again that

515
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 7: you know, the ACC and big twelve champs is gonna

516
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 7: always gonna be a little iffy.

517
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 4: But it's fine. But not what they need to do

518
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 4: is they need to reced it after.

519
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 7: This and yet and yet to hear a good argument

520
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 7: as to why you can't reced uh, because it's not

521
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 7: like anything that's given when it comes to you know,

522
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 7: who's gonna win those first round games. You can kind

523
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 7: of guess that the five, six, seven seeds are gonna win,

524
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 7: but you're for sure, So there's no reason because the

525
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 7: second round is playing the bolt both game and that

526
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 7: going with a specific you know, uh college campus. So

527
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 7: it's not fair necessarily. Still, if somehow that eleven seed

528
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 7: beats the five, it beats the sixth, and the three

529
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 7: seed gets to the you know, gets to eleven and

530
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 7: the number one seed gets the eight nine. But that's

531
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 7: kind of I have that seeing a nca tournament too.

532
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 4: It should received I digress.

533
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: What's gonna be great about it? Though, Pete is you

534
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: know we always say, ah, bubble teams for the basketball tournament,

535
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. But here we're talking tens of millions

536
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 2: of dollars of your team number seventeen eventually. So this

537
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: is next level stuff. The jockeying and politicking that'll go on,

538
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: it'll be brilliant.

539
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 4: How about how about the five?

540
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 7: You know, because now before and they said this to everyone,

541
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 7: everyone was crying about Notre Dame last year. Oh well no, no,

542
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 7: day is kind of screwed because they you know, they

543
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 7: can't get into the top four because they didn't want

544
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 7: I can't win a conference championship. And I was like,

545
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 7: wait a minute, yeah, but they also aren't gonna lose

546
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 7: Carson back to an injury because they're playing some meaningless

547
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 7: championship game. They're gonna get three weeks off the rest

548
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 7: and you get a home game instead of like again,

549
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 7: as bore up, because what happened they did, instead of

550
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 7: playing in a conference championship, Notre Dame got their first.

551
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 4: You know, basically got that game at home.

552
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 7: Against Indiana'm Merry Christmas. And then who is Oregon's first

553
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 7: Who is Oregon's first round game?

554
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 4: Ohio State? So like, now that goes away.

555
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 7: So now Notre Dame can be a top four seed

556
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 7: and they get a bye.

557
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 4: So then they get.

558
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 7: Best of all possible worlds because if you're Notre Dames

559
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 7: and you're an eleven to one nor eight team and

560
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 7: you're fishing the top four, you get like like two

561
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 7: months off basically before you have to do anything real.

562
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 7: So so yeah, so there's a lot of different courts

563
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 7: for this.

564
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: Pete futec ourgus college Footballnews dot com. All right, so

565
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: with this working out the way it is, right, we see,

566
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: this is gonna make a lot of people happy. The

567
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: next thing, I see, the big problem is going to

568
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: be how do you deal with the teams that make

569
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: it to the conference championship and don't win, Cause that's

570
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna be the big sticky wickt Like is that team

571
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: good enough?

572
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 3: Hey, they got there.

573
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they weren't quite as good enough, but they got there,

574
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: but they lost. So now they have three losses versus

575
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: other teams that have two losses. Like, I think that's

576
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: what expansion is going to solve. If you get to

577
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: sixteen teams, you may have to do something like, hey,

578
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: if you make the conference championship, all you do is

579
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: make the contentat and you can get in, you know,

580
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: to the to the playoffs.

581
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: That might be the only way to do it.

582
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 4: At some point.

583
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 7: You got to get to the point of like when

584
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 7: you get to we get to like late you know, late.

585
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 4: February and early March.

586
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 7: Look, if you're if you're basically if you're on any

587
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 7: list of bubble teams, you shouldn't be in, Like you

588
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 7: really you can't make a field of sixty eight and

589
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 7: you sucks, and you shouldn't be playing for the national championship.

590
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 7: Same diff if you're if you're the number seventeen on

591
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 7: the seating range of things, then you.

592
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 4: Don't you know, you did something wrong.

593
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 7: You're not good enough if you're like the fifth best

594
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 7: team in the SEC, or you're you know, kind of

595
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 7: the team that lost the ACC championship. But I get

596
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 7: it though, I mean the seating thing matters, and you're

597
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 7: now really kind of does matter to get that get

598
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 7: that top seam. So like your point, let's flip this

599
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 7: up forgetting like the team like lose it. What happens

600
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 7: if you're like twelve to zero whatever and you know

601
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 7: you're in, there's no chance you're you know you're going

602
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 7: you're Big ten or SEC twelve and oh or eleven

603
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 7: and one. Then of course every coach is gonna be well,

604
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 7: we play for SEC championships around here. But really, why

605
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 7: are you? I mean, I guess you're gonna be in

606
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 7: this tournament no matter what, and maybe you don't want

607
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 7: You're probably no worse than a three seed even if

608
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 7: you'll lose. You know, so like we're gonna get some

609
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 7: more moments where you're gonna load manager that those champions

610
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 7: Caference championship games.

611
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 2: All right, Pete, the other story that's been circling in

612
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: the background. You mentioned Notre Dame a couple of times.

613
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: This thing with USC their deal expires at the end

614
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five. Are we just gonna have a

615
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: series of one year contracts until the college football landscape settles.

616
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 4: I think so, because it's starting to get way too brutal.

617
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 7: I mean, now you've got Notre Dame.

618
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 4: In Clemson, which is becoming.

619
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 7: An annual thing.

620
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 4: Now.

621
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 7: Uh so the a SEC, which you know, Notredaan has

622
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 7: its friends with benefits to deal with them. Now they

623
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 7: kind of want to.

624
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 4: Help it up it a little more.

625
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 7: Now they get a key to a drawer or something,

626
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 7: so they get they get a little more in So

627
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 7: you're playing Clemson every year, that's the thing because as

628
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 7: you know, as we've talked before, we'll talk again between

629
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 7: now in the next ninety eight days.

630
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 4: Before the ball kicks off.

631
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 7: Or whatever it is, is that it's all about schedules

632
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 7: and then the acc you know, which is not the

633
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 7: Big ten or the SEC or even the Big twelve.

634
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 7: It sucks if you get Notre Dame this year, you know,

635
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 7: because like if you get Clemson, that's bad. Obviously, you

636
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 7: know what that in Miami is gonna be really good.

637
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 7: But if you're one of those teams that gets a

638
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 7: quote non conference game against Notre Dame, that's that's that's

639
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 7: a raw deal.

640
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 4: So now they kind of finalize that a little bit.

641
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 7: But yeah, for people like us, you know, who are

642
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 7: old and care about these sort of things. The whole

643
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 7: idea of Notre Dame us he is really really cool.

644
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 7: But as we've seen with past big time rivalries that

645
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 7: it's fine. And then they don't happen, and then you

646
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 7: kind of forget and everything turned on to be okay, hey, Pete.

647
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: Lastly, obviously it's it's a it's a daily soap opera.

648
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 3: With different twists and turns.

649
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: Where are you right now as to how things are

650
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: gonna go with Bill Belichick this year at North Carolina?

651
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 7: Oh you know my stance? You know, good for you, man, Hey,

652
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 7: if you're gonna probably be dead within the next fifteen

653
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 7: years or so, wow, why not knock it out? You know,

654
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 7: if you're that old and you've got twenty four year

655
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 7: old interested in you, good, good, go.

656
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 4: For him, man, not go be great.

657
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 7: But here's the thing about this, and never right now,

658
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 7: it's a soap opera. It's all salacious and it's all,

659
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 7: you know, weird. But look at that North Carolina schedule.

660
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 7: Find me the loss. They're here to go to Clemson.

661
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 7: That's like the one game that they have a real

662
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 7: nasty game. But it seems okay, it's not that good.

663
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 7: But if you're looking for who's this year is SMU

664
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 7: or who's this year is Indiana, Well we might be

665
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 7: in mid November, and your question to me is going

666
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 7: to be, like, can Bill Belichick really make the college

667
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 7: football playoffs in his first year. They're nine and one,

668
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 7: and it's like all this other stuff will kind of

669
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 7: be forgotten about.

670
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Pete few Tech. That is at

671
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,920

Speaker 1: That's college Footballnews dot com, including at ten thousand word

673
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: preview of Notre Dame in Wisconsin's game at lambeau Field

674
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: coming in twenty twenty six.

675
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: Pete, that's always.

676
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 7: Not twenty because it's true.

677
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: See if we'll talk to you next week.

678
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: Okay, they're gonna be proud, proud Wisconsin alum. There, Pete

679
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: feutech time now to find out what's trending in the

680
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: wide world of sports. I'm someone who had the over

681
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: tonight for Dante Devencenzo's points in the first half and

682
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: it just missed, and it just missed.

683
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 8: I am the worst I Bettie, aren't I. The Oklahoma

684
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 8: is an ey Thunder trying to pull away. Here it's

685
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 8: still the third quarter, but they've outscored Minnesota thirty five

686
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 8: to nineteen so far. So the Thunder are up ninety

687
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 8: three to seventy one down to the final minute here

688
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 8: of the third quarter. Shei Gilis Alexander ten to fifteen

689
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 8: from the field, a perfect nine of nine from the

690
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 8: free throw line. He's got thirty points, six assists. When

691
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 8: it come Minnesota, Anthony Edwards kind of has calmed down

692
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 8: in the second half, but he's got twenty two points

693
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 8: to leave Minnesota. He is eight of nineteen to go

694
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 8: along with eight rebounds in Game one and Game two.

695
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 8: OKC has had a run in the third quarter to

696
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 8: kind of get away from the Timberwolves. And that's exactly

697
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 8: what they've done here. When it comes to the NHL playoffs.

698
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 3: Noah, wait now, wait, wait, wait, and Edwards just hit

699
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 3: a bucket. He's got twenty four.

700
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon, when we made our Draft Kings picks last night,

701
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: I made my pick of the night tonight.

702
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: What did I say? And Edwards over twenty three and

703
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: a half points? Nice yet, nicely done, nicely done.

704
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 8: Now you don't have to worry of him scoring again

705
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 8: in the fourth quarter.

706
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: There you go. You might sit out with a twenty

707
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: two point definite.

708
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

709
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 8: I literally might need to save his legs for the

710
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 8: next one. When it comes to the NHL playoffs, it's

711
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 8: Game two of the East Final between the Panthers and

712
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 8: the Hurricanes. It's been all Panthers. They scored within the

713
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 8: first like seventy five seconds of the game never looked back.

714
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 8: It is five zero with three minutes to go in

715
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 8: the third period. We'll check in on the two baseball

716
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 8: games that are left. Not a lot of baseball games

717
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 8: in today's slate, but the Astros have added some more

718
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 8: runs thanks to another home run from Jose Altuvee. They're

719
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 8: up on the Mariners nine to two. Bottom of the

720
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 8: seventh inning. It looks like the Pirates and the Brewers

721
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 8: are back in action. They were in a rain delay

722
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 8: in Pittsburgh. It was a sixth inning during the rain delay.

723
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 8: They're back in action now. Top of the eighth inning.

724
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 8: Brewers still up five to three, and they've got a

725
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 8: man on first and second base. The Angels have won

726
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 8: seven in a row. After defeating the A's ten to five,

727
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 8: Taylor Ward with a grand slam. The Guardian shut out

728
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 8: the Tigers seven zero, and the Nationals walked it off

729
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 8: eight to seven against the Braves on an RBI single

730
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 8: from Ahmed Rosadio. Rosadio and the Braves did announce that

731
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 8: Ronald Acuna Junior will be back tomorrow.

732
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 3: He's gonna be activated from the.

733
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 8: Injured list, returning from that ACL injury that he sustained

734
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 8: three hundred and sixty two days ago, just under a year.

735
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: And in the NFL, you bet you bet the over

736
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 3: or the under on that. I know it's coming down. No,

737
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 3: that's coming right. No, I did not, but I would

738
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: have probably bet the over.

739
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: So he needs a plate appearance.

740
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: She just needs a late appearance.

741
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

742
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 8: In the NFL, the Troy Lions defensive end Aaden Hutchinson

743
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 8: fully cleared for football activities after breaking his leg last season.

744
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, thanks a bunch mine, Yes, Jason

745
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

746
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, te Wolves and the Thunder ninety three seventy one

747
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: going to the fourth quarter.

748
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: The Thunder just absolutely pour it on, outscoring the t

749
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: Wolves thirty five twenty one. Shay Gildess Alexander freshly minted

750
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: MVP with thirty leading the way for OKAC. Now we'll

751
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: have more on this game of course coming up again.

752
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: Got the whole fourth quarter to go. Either that's good

753
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 1: or bad depending on who you're rooting for.

754
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: It's not the.

755
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: Dis we got the play of the day. And if

756
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: you thought one superstar was gonna be traded at some point,

757
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: his GM is here to tell you it's not happening.

758
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: You just gotta wait a little while. S next right here,

759
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 1: Jason and Mike Fox and the Nicks can't hold on

760
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: to a fourteen point lead, and Halliburton double dribbles. But

761
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: it's not cold, it's not cold.

762
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: And scene and scene, scene, scene.

763
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: Curtain scene.

764
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 5: Someone goes out to the Knicks.

765
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 3: All right, Nick fans, hope you enjoyed it. It's coming

766
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: to an end. Stuck in your dreams.

767
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: Halliburton hit a shot and made the choke sign big then.

768
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 3: In ot you couldn't even make him pay. Jason Smith

769
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: is on the radio. He's got nothing good to say.

770
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 3: All right, all right, enough of the enough of that.

771
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: I need a break for the Neicks for five minutes

772
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: and five minute break, five minute break.

773
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: Let's talk about.

774
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,239
Speaker 2: Another team that stinks. Uh.

Speaker 3: going back again again.

787
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: It is slutely on fire. The Angels aren't back in front.

Speaker 3: FanDuel TV on the call right there.

789
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,120

00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: Oakland A's, But hey, you.

791
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: Get b mister Taylor the play of the day.

792
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of baseball, this gets us to the big

793
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: baseball story the day in which the Pittsburgh Pirates, who

794
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: can't do anything right this season, whether it's on or

795
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: off the field. I like the the recap today on

796
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: ESPN dot com where it says they have packed a

797
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: half decade's worth of public relations missteps into two months. Yep,

798
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: big fair, that's fair here, it's your Pittsburgh Pirates.

799
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 2: Uh.

800
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,479
Speaker 1: They have said one thing they did say today GM

801
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: bench Arrington saying they are not going to trade Paul

802
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 1: Skeins right, Like, hey, everything is really difficult schemes.

803
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 3: One of the most sought after players in the game.

804
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 3: He's under team control for another couple of years.

805
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: You could get a treasure trove of players for him.

806
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: And he said, no, quote, it's not part of the

807
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: conversation at all.

808
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 3: Okay, And you know what, I believe that wait for it,

809
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: wait for it, wait for it for now.

810
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: Like like like Dolores Umbridge said in Harry Potter, Order

811
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: the Phoenix, you can't when when Dumbledore says you can't

812
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: dismiss a teacher that rat power remains solely with the headmaster,

813
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: and she smiles and goes for now, like, yeah, they're

814
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: not gonna trade Paul Skins. Now he brings people the ballpark.

815
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: He gives the Pirates an identity, right like this is

816
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what you want to get guys

817
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: like that. You want to trade guys like this, especially

818
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: when they're cheap, and you want to try to build.

819
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 3: For a while on it.

820
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: But why I say for now is he's going to

821
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: end up following the exact same path of Juan Soto.

822
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: With so much team control, Eventually the Pirates are gonna

823
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: get to a point like the Nationals did where we're

824
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: not gonna keep them.

825
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 3: We have to move him now.

826
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: It's not now, it's not gonna be at the trading deadline,

827
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be after this year. But at some

828
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: point in the next year or two, they're gonna be

829
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: faced with that reality that, you know what, he's not

830
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 1: gonna stay. He's a big superstar. Him and Livy Dunn

831
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: keep making headlines wherever they go. Teams are gonna.

832
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 3: Fall over themselves to give him all kinds of money.

833
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: He'd get the richest free agent contract for a pitcher

834
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: in the history of Major League Baseball, and they know,

835
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: are we gonna have that kind of money to sign him?

836
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: We're the pirates. We don't spend that kind of money.

837
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: Come on, man, we said we couldn't even we were sweating,

838
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, paying Bobby Benia eight bucks a day in

839
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. I mean, come on, we can't. You know,

840
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: we're not gonna give him this kind of money. So eventually,

841
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: that's how it's going to end for Skeens. It'll be

842
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: just like Juan Soda where the Nationals made that calculated

843
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: decision of Okay, World Series, where are we going, Let's

844
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: move on and maybe Skeens winds up with a couple

845
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: of different teams before he hits free agency and signs

846
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: that big deal. But yes, the Pirate's gonna trade him now. No,

847
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: but just wait because eventually they'll get to the same

848
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: point the Nationals did. It'll be a big feeding frenzy

849
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 1: in a big story. Just got to wait a while

850
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: for it.

851
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, arbitration eligible at the end of twenty twenty six.

852
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 2: Right now, you've got Reynolds and Cruz and Cabrian Hayes.

853
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 2: There's your trio. You got four teams that have a

854
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: lower payroll than the pirates. Pirates are eighty eight million dollars.

855
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: You want to guess who those four teams are? Go ahead,

856
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 2: my god, good, good, good Miami, whatever they are, the

857
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 2: A's Tampa Bay and your Chicago White Sox. There you

858
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 2: have it. But yeah, the litany of public relations disasters, signage,

859
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 2: the trading card, you name it. But eventually you've got

860
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 2: to realize that the only way you're you're gonna make

861
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 2: the most of this. I mean, you can't be the

862
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 2: Angels and watch the guy walk across the freeway. Damn,

863
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 2: I'm out of here. There goes Otani and all the

864
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

865
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 3: What do we got for it? Our pride?

866
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 2: No, no, no, he took that too. He took that too,

867
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: because we didn't trade him when we could have and

868
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 2: at least restocked the minor leagues, or get a player

869
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 2: or two that people would love to come and watch

870
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 2: for a minute or five. No, for Paul Skins, you know, look,

871
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: you got Livy Dunn SI for twenty twenty five. She

872
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 2: keeps that magazine relevant. And right now, Skimes is the

873
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: only thing holding the Pirates together.

874
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look for now, I get it right.

875
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: Every fifth day he comes, he brings people to ballpark.

876
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: He brings you energy, he brings you relevance, right, and

877
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: you want that, right if you're the Pirates.

878
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: You got to play the long game, man.

879
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: I realized the Pirates have been playing the long game

880
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety four. So but you got Okay Skeens.

881
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: Now he brings you a lot of relevance, he brings

882
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: you a lot of attention, all of that. But eventually

883
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: got to make the right decision for the team. And

884
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: I and the Nationals would have loved to have kept

885
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: ban Soto, but boy, he's gonna that's too much money

886
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: for us. I mean, it's too much money for the pirates,

887
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: and they know they just have to when they get

888
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: to that point where they know, okay, we've gone past

889
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 1: the point of of of having him be that much

890
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: use to us, where now we need to get something

891
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: for him before he moves on again. It might be

892
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: year and a half, but it's gonna happen. Paul Skeens

893
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: will be someplace else. Exit out about a Fresco exit.

894
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: Swallendme.

895
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 1: We got a big, bold statement for the NBA playoffs

896
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: coming up next right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio,
