Speaker 2: Wildcard weekend trends, breaking down the matchups. Certainly we'll heavily

00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: cover the Saturday doubleheader, and on the Saturday Night Bernie

00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: Fraders Show, we get to the triple header and Wildcard Monday,

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: phenomenal weekend of football coming up. We will get to

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh. Seems like a distant memory now, but give

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: Michigan their flowers. I'll do that later in the show.

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: And I've got an anthology about Jim Harbaugh. Some things

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: you might not knowing what I believe will happen. Next,

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: it's the midnight hour. We take your calls. Remember Draymond Green,

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: he's back. I want your thoughts on this because I

21
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: think it's a polarizing subject and I've got my opinions,

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: and we might revisit Russell Wilson. Turns out he might

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: be back in Denver. After all, we had one of

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: our most spirited midnight hours about two weeks ago, and

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna revisit that. But we begin. We must begin

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: with the fact that a seventy two year old coach, gentlemen,

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: I have a hell of a lot of respect for

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: the best college football coach in history retired. Now. I

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: believe it was the great Dlly Lama. Maybe it was

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: Dolly Parton, More likely Dali Lama, who once said, not

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: getting what you want in life can sometimes be a

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: wonderful stroke of luck. Let's go back to December of

33
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: two thousand and six. You may recall Nick Saban getting

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: behind a microphone. See I'm not going to Alabama. I'm

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: not taking the Alabama head coaching job. And of course

36
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: he was excoriated heavily for that statement and hasn't been

37
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: ever since, because two weeks later, that's exactly what he did.

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: He took the Alabama job, but that's not fair to Nick. See,

39
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: there's a backstory you don't know about. At that time,

40
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: Nick Saban was held bent on getting a quarterback Drew Brees.

41
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: He'd sat down with Wayne Heisenga Heaseka's agreed. Saban was

42
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: nine and seven his first year in Miami, they'd sunk

43
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: to six and ten, and says, I need my quarterback.

44
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: At the time he made that statement, Breese was flying

45
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: into Miami. All he had to do was pass the physical. Well,

46
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: he didn't pass the physical, and you know what happened

47
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: next Four days later, Nick Saban and his wife Terry,

48
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: who believed me, I will promise you was ninety percent

49
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: involved in the decision that Dick made. The other day,

50
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: they sat down with the Hayaseenga family at Christmas and

51
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: had a caucus and there were lots of tears and

52
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: lots of hugs and lots of heartfelt conversations and basically

53
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: Nick seb and said, I can't win and I needed

54
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: Drew Brees. I can't win with you without Drew Brees.

55
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: Wayne Heyseenger understood it. Two days after that, it was

56
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: Wayne Heyseenger who staid before the Miami media Throng gave

57
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: the press conference and let everybody know what had happened,

58
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: and he was very deferential to Nck Sabit. He defended

59
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: Nick Saban, and he was very fair. Now you may

60
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 2: wonder why am I so curious about Nick Saban, Why

61
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: don't I respect him so much? Well, back in nineteen

62
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: ninety five when Nick was the head coach at Michigan State,

63
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: some people have probably forgotten. I was with WTK and

64
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: Ann Arbor, and I was very fortunate that there was

65
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: this golf outing, a scramble GLF stood for giving to

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: others less fortunate. It was one of those Gosh Darren

67
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: scrambles that take about six hours to play. And we

68
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: had three people on our side and he had three

69
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: on their side. It was a sixthom and yeah, I

70
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: took a long time. But on my side were two

71
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: guys you never heard of, Jerry, another guy Vince, and

72
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: on their side were a couple of coaches and a

73
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: guy by the name of Nick Saban. That's right, Nick Saban. Well,

74
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: I knew darn well that at some point I had

75
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: to work up the gumption to say something to him.

76
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: But we got to about the seventh told that I

77
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: couldn't think of anything clever to say. All of a sudden,

78
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: Jerry pulls out one of those range finders, you know,

79
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: where you hold up to your eye and you're out

80
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: in the middle of the fairway and it tells you

81
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: how far you are from the pin. And I'll be

82
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 2: darn if Saban and look at him and say how

83
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: far away from the pin? And Jerry said about one

84
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty seven yards. Saban said, well, are we

85
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty seven yards or about f one

86
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty seven yards? Oh? Man, I love this guy.

87
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: Love this guy. When we made the turn, I said,

88
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to figure out something to say, And it

89
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: finally dawned on me. We're getting ready for the nineteen

90
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: ninety five season. In the well check that it might

91
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: have been heading into ninety six. It's all a blur.

92
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: That part's a blur. And actually Scott Mitchell had fallen

93
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: into somewhat disfavor with the fans of Lions quarterback and

94
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: he didn't get along with Wayne Fonce, and Wayne Fonce

95
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 2: had been on the hot seat for a couple of years.

96
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: He ended up being fired, you know, in nineteen ninety six.

97
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: Later and there was a rumor that Nick Saban might

98
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: be off for the job. And of course he'd been

99
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: on that famous staff in Cleveland with Belichick and everybody.

100
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: And I asked him, so, we had, you know, kind

101
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: of a weight to hit the ball. And I asked him,

102
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: I said, so, let me ask you a coach, are

103
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: you if the Lions come calling? Are you interested? He

104
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 2: was not a fan fan Mitchell still there. He didn't

105
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: like Mitchell. And by the way, the F bombs were fabulous.

106
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's something about this guy. I really

107
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: liked this guy. I don't think it's hyperbole. To my

108
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: radio partner, Mark Olson in Detroit for many years, knows

109
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: the Sabin family very well. Did a coach a show

110
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: with all kinds of stuff. You read his books, you

111
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: watch his He's incredible human being, credible in his commitment

112
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: to process and development of young men. I don't think

113
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: it's hyperably to say he was the best college football

114
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: coach in history. Seven national titles, eleven SEC championships, got

115
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty three players drafted in the NFL.

116
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: I don't think the sport will ever see a coach

117
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 2: like him. He was a man who was obsessed with

118
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: process and scheme to the point of complete shared domination.

119
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: He didn't pay attention to the scoreboard. He knew that

120
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: the scoreboard was a result of the process. Nick Saban

121
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: frankly changed the sport. He shifted the sport, and then

122
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: he changed with the sport as their tactics shifted. Years

123
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: ago he had complained about a spread offense, while he

124
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: adopted the spread offense and started to win with it,

125
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: or at least a version of it Under Sabin. Alabama

126
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: was not perfect. No one ever is, But between twenty

127
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: twelve and twenty twenty, no one could really the tide

128
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: in all phases. And this is an age where you

129
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 2: can't have a sports discussion without saying, is this individual

130
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: the goat? It's raging debate. There's no debate here. I

131
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: don't know anybody who's going to argue that Nick Saban

132
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: is not the goat when it comes to college football.

133
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: We're already talking replacement candidates within minutes, of course, and

134
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: now we now know that Calin de Bor has accepted

135
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: the job. Right. Dan Lanning was not interested. Cee Sarkisi

136
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: was not interested. Mike Norvel they were not interested. I

137
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: don't blame them for not wanting to take over a legend.

138
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: You don't want to follow a legend, really, and those

139
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: guys have pretty good gigs where they're at, and they're

140
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: making a lot of money, and why turn their life

141
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: into upheaval. And it was reported that day that Banna

142
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: was going to have a replacement in place by the

143
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: end of the weekend. Well they did. That's how they

144
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: do things down there. That's still the savant influence. I

145
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: believe this is going to be an impossible task to

146
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: follow his shoe steps. You better be dutiful. He's the

147
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: best guy to ever do it. And I would say,

148
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: right now, there has to be some level of uncertainty

149
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: on the program, not because Kaylin Debor can't coach, but

150
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,119
Speaker 2: what can be expected? How will he recruit? You already

151
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: had a five star wide receiver de commit and another

152
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: starting wide receiver go to the NFL. So now you

153
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: have a thirty day period the Crimson tied players now

154
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: because the coach is left, they have a thirty day

155
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 2: period to enter the transfer portal as well. And it

156
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: just feels sudden. But if you know Saban, it wasn't.

157
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: He's probably thought this out and by the way can't

158
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: You can't say I'm thinking about retiring next year. You

159
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: can't announce it too early. You'll kill your recruiting base.

160
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: But Sabin was dancing that fine line between ethics in

161
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: his personal life. He knew that he had a staff

162
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: to take care of, and what might happen to those

163
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: families and those coaches if he moved on. There's no

164
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: easy way to do this. As a matter of fact,

165
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: he went back to work the next day after losing

166
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: to Michigan in the semi final. Now he's gone. You'll

167
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: hear more about his reasoning in the coming days and weeks.

168
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: But Sabin could have stayed as long as he wanted to.

169
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: He admitted this season wore them out a little bit.

170
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: He's seventy two well, and again, I promise you missed Terry,

171
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 2: and they've been a team since nineteen seventy one. Had

172
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: a lot to say about this in the coming days, weeks,

173
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: and certainly next season. There'll be plenty of subject matter

174
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: around Nick Saban, But for now he was part of

175
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: a myriad of other news stories. But I wanted to

176
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: tip my cap to Nick Saban and give him first

177
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: billing tonight, because again, I think he's the greatest of

178
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: all time, and if you understand the facts, he would

179
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: have considered making this decision, probably for all, including him

180
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: and his wife. The best. Nothing lasts forever, but I'll

181
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: tell you in the annals of college football and those

182
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: discussions when it comes to the goat, I believe that

183
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: discussion is forever coming up. We jumped to the NFL.

184
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: We have on Jason Hershorn. Of course, She's been on

185
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: my show many times. He's an award winning NFL writer,

186
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 2: co founder of the Leap, which is Packers newsletter, and

187
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: tons of NFL news this week as well, including another

188
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: legend by the name of Bill Belichick. And by the way,

189
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 2: it's flown under the radar now, but I really want

190
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: to ask him, what the hell ever happened to Brad

191
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: Allen in that situation? The NFL even look into this,

192
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: You know, they were back on the Steelers game last

193
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: Saturday and people were up in arms. Well, remember, referee

194
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: and referee crew assignments are made typically about eight weeks

195
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: ahead of schedule, so I wouldn't react to that too much.

196
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddle. Were come to you live from the

Speaker 4: But here's the thing.

206
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: We never have enough time to get to everything we

207
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: want to get to.

208
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,680

Speaker 5: over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in

210
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 5: our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,

211
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 5: because this guy is over promising things we never have

212
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 5: time for.

213
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, you blubber list name in me.

214
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should

215
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: be good at it because you've been over promising women

216
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: for years.

217
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 5: Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we

218
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 5: want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 5: be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk

220
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 5: life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing

221
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 5: about something or we didn't have enough time, it will

222
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: continue on our after show called over Promised.

223
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 3: Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make

Speaker 3: sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored, by

225
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a

226
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 3: little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast

227
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: of all time.

228
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,800

233
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 2: coming to your life from the Tarak dot Com studios

234
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Welcome and a gentleman heard him

235
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: on these airwaves with me many times award winning NFL writer,

236
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: co founder of the Leap of Packers Green Bay Packers newsletter.

237
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: Say hello to Jason Hershorn. Jason, good evening.

238
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 7: It it'th you, Bernie.

239
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: How's it going good buddy? And I can't think of

240
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 2: a better week to have you on. And I want

241
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 2: to start ever so quickly with the Bill Belichick News

242
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: which probably most people should not be surprised given the

243
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: climate the last few weeks and after they came home

244
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: from Germany. But my question to you is do you

245
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: believe he'll coach again? I do, but I'd like to

246
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: hear your thoughts.

247
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think that he wants to. It's a

248
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 8: situation where any team that's interested in him is going

249
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 8: to have to figure out what that organization looks like.

250
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 8: It's not just are you hiring Bill Belichick's the coach?

251
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 8: Are you hiring him as the defected general manager as well?

252
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 8: For some teams, that's going to be a hard no.

253
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 8: For others, maybe there's a little more leeway, And I

254
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 8: think that's the major consideration for at least some of

255
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 8: these openings that we're seeing this year. In the case

256
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 8: of Bill Belichick, he's probably not one season, but more

257
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 8: or lessly two seasons away from breaking the all time

258
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 8: wins records, the one that's julajo or Don Julahols. Rather,

259
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 8: I think that's something that is the ultimate thing for him,

260
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 8: but it's something that he does care about. He is

261
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 8: one of the great historians of the NFL, so I

262
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 8: think he's going to be pretty motivated, and there are

263
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 8: some jobs here that from his perspective, makes the sense.

264
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: I agree, and he's fifteen wins away. I am not

265
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: of the belief we'll see him on the West Coast.

266
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: I believe perhaps the Commanders or or the Atlanta Falcons

267
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: could be a fit. Your thoughts in neither of those openings.

268
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 8: I think the Falcons from his perspectives, make the most sense.

269
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 8: There are obviously problems with that roster area why they

270
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 8: have an opening, but it does have talent on not

271
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 8: just one side of the fall. Do you need a quarterback,

272
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 8: that's the biggest thing. Obviously Belichick has not been able

273
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 8: to find that quarterback since Tom Brady left. But if

274
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 8: you can find someone who can work with Bill belichickings,

275
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 8: you know they're gonna have some asks. That they have

276
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 8: a top ten pick again, they're going to have not

277
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 8: just the salary cast space, but the ability and the

278
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 8: willingness from ownership to spend. I think they're going to

279
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 8: have some avenues to in a year maybe two finding

280
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 8: that quarterback where Bill Belichick cannot just compete again for

281
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 8: that wins.

282
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 7: Record, but he he's for something more meaningful.

283
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 8: The division that we've seen is pretty open. Like the

284
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 8: Falcons were secondly alive for the playoffs going into the

285
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 8: final week of the season this year. The competitive the

286
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 8: last two years, even though the final records has only

287
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 8: been seven. I think that's a place where is any

288
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 8: interest from ownership of Bill Belichick, an interest from Bill

289
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 8: Belichick in that roster.

290
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: Agree, and Arthur Blank he's eighty one years old now.

291
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: I would dearly love to win a Super Bowl after

292
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: leading twenty eight to three a few years ago. And

293
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: he's made big name runs in the past, including coaches

294
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: like Joe Gibbs and falling short. So we're in agreement.

295
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: Another story, Jason, We're talking with Jason Hershorn, NFL writer,

296
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,359
Speaker 2: co founder of the Leap of Green Bay Packers newsletter.

297
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: If You're to Mama show many times, Jason. A couple

298
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: stories that are circuling around, circulating around the ether the

299
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: group think echo Chamber, are that if the Philadelphia Eagles

300
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: were to get beat Monday night in Tampa Bay, you

301
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 2: might see Nick Sirianni showing the door. Does that story

302
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: have merit?

303
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 8: On the one hand, we have some Eagles make surprising

304
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 8: head coaching changes before not been into the death distant pass.

305
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 8: Remember Doug Peterson was fired kind of surprisingly in somewhat

306
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 8: similar circumstances. It wasn't a playoff team, but it was

307
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 8: not immediately after a season closing loss in that sense,

308
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 8: I guess you could say from ownership it's possible, right,

309
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 8: they've done it before, But I don't really think that

310
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 8: does likely with his roster, because even though the team

311
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 8: underperformed the last few months and change of the regular season,

312
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 8: you've looked at it, it is still ready to compete

313
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 8: for something meaningful in the foreseeable future. With that being

314
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 8: the case, I don't think you want to make a

315
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 8: change your head coach now, even if you have some

316
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 8: concerns internally about Nick Scheriani. So, yeah, the defense obviously

317
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 8: needs a new direction. They tried to kind of, you know,

318
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 8: duct tape that together near the end of the season

319
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 8: with Matt Patricia. That did not work. They're going to

320
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 8: have to recalibrate that again. But those are changes you

321
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 8: can make in an offseason. I would be fairly surprised

322
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 8: if Nick Sirianni is not the head coach in twenty

323
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 8: twenty four. But again, deals are one of the few

324
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 8: seashere you've seen them make this kind of weird move before.

325
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, she sham my goodness. Ten months ago they

326
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: were a whisker away from winning the Super Bowl. But

327
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 2: that's the way the NFL is at times all right.

328
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: The other story, which I think could have more traction,

329
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: but I'm still not one hundred percent sure because I

330
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: don't think Bill Belichick would go to Dallas. But God

331
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 2: forbid for Dallas fans. If they lose to Green Bay Sunday,

332
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: or even if they win but lose the following week,

333
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: which would most likely be the winner of the Rams

334
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 2: Lions game, there are thoughts that Jerry might just pull

335
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: the trigger and boom out Mike McCarthy, who's been a

336
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: good regular season coach. But Jerry believes he's got a

337
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowl winning roster. Now could that happen? That's one

338
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: A of the question. In one B, could he cowerence

339
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick to come to Dallas. I know it's a

340
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 2: lot of speculation, but it's what's blown in the wind

341
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: right now.

342
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 8: Jerry Joneses have invited this sort of speculation. I don't

343
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 8: even need just this year, just over the years. There's

344
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 8: one of the few owners that has weekly not media

345
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 8: availabilities with his radio appearances, but also you know, after

346
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 8: the game, it's a thing that he does. So it

347
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 8: doesn't seem crazy that could happen. If the Cowboys were

348
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 8: to lose this weekend. That said, I think at least

349
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 8: some of the speculation is driven by that perception more

350
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 8: than the actual on field performance. This is a Cowboys

351
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 8: team not just this year, but it has been good

352
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 8: for several years in ways that they weren't under the

353
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 8: previous head coach. That has not gone lost on ownership

354
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 8: and that front office. You consider also that this is

355
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 8: a team that is not necessarily facing free agency with

356
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 8: Dak Prescott, but Prescott is probably going to need a

357
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 8: new contract this offseason. Do they want to make a

358
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 8: head coaching change again and make Prescott consider that with

359
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 8: that decision. There's a lot of moving parts here.

360
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 9: Now.

361
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 8: The thing that at least makes it a little foreseeable

362
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 8: if the Cowboys were to lose this weekend is because

363
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 8: we know, oh that ownership not just Jerry Jones. The

364
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 8: Jones family likes dan Quinn a lot and expects him

365
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 8: to take a job this offseason if it is a

366
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 8: choice in their minds between keeping White McCarty after a

367
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 8: playoff disappointment and retaining dan quinn. That gets a little

368
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 8: dice here for McCarthy. But if the Cowboys make it

369
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 8: to the Division round and beyond, I think it's significantly

370
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 8: less likely that happens, not a zero percent chance, but

371
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 8: less likely. But to the other part of your question,

372
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 8: if the Cowboys were to open, it's something where I

373
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 8: have a hard time actually seeing from both sides Belicheck

374
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 8: and Jerry Jones wanting that union to remember the last

375
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 8: time Jerry Jones made a higher life then now, not

376
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 8: an established coaches and therapy because McCarthy was established when

377
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 8: they hired him, but one of those like going to

378
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 8: the Hall of Fame, no questions kind of coaches. It

379
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 8: was Bill Parcells that didn't end super well in terms

380
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 8: of their relationship, and Bill Parcells obviously someone that Bill

381
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 8: Belichick no very well. So between that the fact that

382
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 8: the front office is sort of a different situation than

383
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 8: most of the other things. With Jerry Jones as the

384
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 8: acting general manager, even though there are other people in

385
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 8: an organization that help him make scouting decisions, I just

386
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 8: don't know that that's going to make a ton of

387
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 8: center of a belfick, even though that roster is super

388
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 8: Bowl talverare as a fance.

389
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: Talking with Jason Hirshorn, NFL writer, co founder of The Leap,

390
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: you mentioned Dan Quinn I'm hearing that the Chargers are

391
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 2: going to have a lot of interest in dan Quinn.

392
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: We hear Jim Harbaugh's name mentioned a lot. I'll get

393
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 2: to that in a minute. I can tell you what

394
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: I know with my Michigan ties. I expect dan Quinn

395
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: to be a head coach else for next year. Do

396
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: you agree?

397
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 6: Yeah?

398
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 8: I don't know where that will be, but that is

399
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 8: my anticipation as well.

400
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: All right, very quickly, on Harball, I can tell you

401
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 2: on the phone with my moles daily he wants to

402
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: be back in the NFL. He's one hundred and twenty

403
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: five million dollar extension on his desk, which he hasn't signed.

404
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: He wants to win a Super Bowl. He very much

405
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: wants to win a Super Bowl. I'm told I'm not

406
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: sure the Chargers are as interested as people think, but

407
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: I know Mark Davidson the Raiders is very interested. Whether

408
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: or not they can strike a dealer remains to be seen.

409
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 2: What are you hearing from the NFL side on the

410
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: teams that might be interested in Harrball.

411
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 8: Well, the Chargers are one of the teams. You've brought

412
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 8: up that the team that I covered for multiple seasons

413
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 8: for Sports illustrated, and in my experience, that is not

414
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 8: a team that is willing to spend the money, not

415
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 8: just to bring in a coach like Harrorball from a

416
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 8: contract standpoint, but the other monetary considerations that a coach

417
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 8: like Carrorball is going to require. You know, every team

418
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 8: considers the Stalar tap when they make personnel decisions, but

419
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 8: there are some teams they're willing to actually spend real

420
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 8: dollars in a given year more than others. The Chargers,

421
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 8: for the most part, have not been one of those seams.

422
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 8: That's your gym, Harbaugh, and you have more or less

423
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 8: any job you could want in the NFL that's open.

424
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 8: Are you getting to a place where you have to

425
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 8: negotiate for extension not just with the player and agent,

426
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 8: but also with your own management. I think that's something

427
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 8: probably does not want to do. Whereas if he were

428
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 8: to go to, say the Atlanta Falcons or the Commanders.

429
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 8: So what are these other teams that is certainly a

430
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 8: little more open with their wallet. That's not a conversation

431
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 8: you can really have to have. I for those reasons,

432
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 8: don't think that Harvall's going to end up with the Chargers,

433
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 8: even though I am sure he would loved to coach

434
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 8: Justin Herbert like that.

435
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: That's right. Part of this, Yes, they have this.

436
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 8: Fantastic young quarterback who's already locked up to a long

437
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 8: term deal to his I ambiguity about where he's going

438
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 8: to be for the foreseeable future. But I just think

439
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 8: that that consideration, the monetary factor, is going to be

440
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 8: the term for a coach like Jim Harbaugh.

441
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: I agree, And I was told two weeks ago Thursday.

442
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: But someone spoke to Harball the day before. He's got

443
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 2: a man crush on Justin Herbert. But that doesn't mean

444
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: they'll strike a deal in LA. Finally, I only got

445
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: about thirty seconds, Jason. I'm sorry that Brad Allen debacle

446
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 2: in Detroit, the procedural situation two weeks ago, check that

447
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: in Dallas versus Detroit. Did the NFL ever do anything

448
00:22:59,080 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 2: with that?

449
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 8: Not anything of consequence for this cycle. But in this offseason,

450
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 8: I think you will see some movement out that I

451
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 8: can tell you exactly what that will look like. That's

452
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 8: usually when the league deals with sort of officiating changes,

453
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 8: rule changes, any sort of movement on that front. Do

454
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 8: you expect it to come around the time of the

455
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 8: offseason league meeting. But right now, during the season, during

456
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 8: the playoffs, there's just not a lot they can do.

457
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: Jason's great stuff. As always, We'll get you back on soon.

458
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 2: We've got the Super Bowl on deck. We've got the

459
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: NFL Hot Stove, including coaching hirings and then the draft

460
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 2: around the corner. Joy your weekend. All right, Thank air, Bernie,

461
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 2: Thank you. Jason Hershorn, NFL writer, co founder of the Leap.

462
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: Coming up. My thoughts on Bill Belichick on the one

463
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: play and the one play. He will forever, forever be

464
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: remembered by for his genius and his anticipation. But first,

465
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 2: go to a guy Kevin Figures with the latest.

466
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 6: All right, Bernie.

467
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 10: In the NBA on Friday Night, Nicola Jokic racking up

468
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 10: another triple double, the Nuggets beating the Pelicans one twenty

469
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 10: five to one thirteen twenty points to nine ers. Is

470
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 10: there for Jamal Murray as well? Utah continuingly it's hot streak.

471
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 10: They defeated Toronto one forty five to one thirteen. The

472
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 10: Jazz have won ten of their last twelve. They're back

473
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 10: at five hundred at twenty and twenty on the season,

474
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 10: thirty seven points for Paul George and the Clippers victory

475
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 10: over Memphis. Clay Thompson scored thirty points to lead Golden

476
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 10: State to a comeback victory over Chicago. The final there

477
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 10: one forty to one, thirty one Pacers with a victory

478
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 10: over Atlanta despite not having Tarbre's Halliburton in the lineup.

479
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 10: Victories for Houston, San Antonio and the seventy six ers,

480
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 10: who got a season high thirty seven points from Tobias

481
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 10: Harris in a blowout win over Sacramento. In college football news,

482
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 10: as you were discussing Alabama hiring Washington's Kailndbor as a

483
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 10: new head coach, Florida States Mike Norvel had been a

484
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 10: top candidate for the Tide, but he reportedly agreed to

485
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 10: an eight year contract extension, and twenty four to seven

486
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 10: Sports is reporting that Steve Sarkegian is in talks with

487
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 10: the University of Texas on a new lucrative contract extension

488
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 10: as well.

489
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 6: Back to Bernie Fredo, all right.

490
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Kevin, And before I get to Belichick,

491
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: remember football fans be sure to tune into Fox Sports

492
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 2: Radio every Saturday morning. Begin to get nine am Eastern

493
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: six am Pacific for Contown to Kickoff, presented by bet MGM,

494
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: Brian no Rich Hornberger and Jared Smith will have you

495
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 2: covered three hours before college kickoffs every Saturday morning. Listen

496
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: to Contown to Kickoff, presented by BETMGM right here on

497
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Some folks remember

498
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll for the play. He did so much more

499
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: for the sport beyond that, but he's attached to it.

500
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: He made a decision and if it worked, he'd have

501
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 2: been a genius, but it wasn't, so he became the

502
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 2: village idiot for at least one day. But of course

503
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the very final play in Super Bowl

504
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: fifty nine in January twenty fifteen. February twenty fifteen, and

505
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks were down near the goal line. It

506
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: assumed that they would give the ball to Marshawn Lynch

507
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: and run the ball in, but they didn't on that

508
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: final play. Belichick was ready for it. In fact, they'd

509
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: practiced it and they'd anticipated. It was called a pick

510
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 2: rub play and it was designed to free Ricardo Lockett

511
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 2: on the line slant, but Brandon Browner jammed Jerome Curse

512
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage, and without a free release,

513
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: he wasn't able to get off the line to block

514
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: Malcolm Butler, who was the defensive back who was told

515
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: to sprint, sprint if he saw Russell Wilson drop back

516
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 2: that freedom to close on the play, get the ball down.

517
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: Odb's work on these ball skill plays every day in practice.

518
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick was ready for it. They practiced all possibilities

519
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: in that situation, and clearly it paid off. You saw

520
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: what happened. Bill Belichick was in fact a genius. And

521
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: remember and you heard Jason Hrshard mentioned Bill Parcells. Bill

522
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,479
Speaker 2: Parcells had two Super Bowls, but he didn't have a suit.

523
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: He didn't win a Super Bowl without Bill Belichick by

524
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 2: his side. In nineteen eighty seven and nineteen ninety one

525
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: eighty seven they shut down the Denver Broncos and always

526
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 2: powerful offense, and then ninety one the Ka gun offense

527
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: with Jim Kelly and the Buffalo Bills. This was still,

528
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 2: even though somewhat anticipated, and would have been inconceivable even

529
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 2: as recent as a year ago. This was a SEIAAC move,

530
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 2: seismic move. Excuse me. Bill Belichick won six Super Bowls

531
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: with the New England Patriots, and he won two with

532
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: Bill bellichs with Bill Parcells. But when you go four

533
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: and thirteen, his worst campaign in twenty four years, and

534
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: by the way, he is still only fifteen wins behind

535
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 2: Don Shula. You knew that there would be a meeting

536
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 2: of the minds, and I do believe it was mutual.

537
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 2: Some people want to think he was fired. You can

538
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: call it that if you want, but I believe Robert

539
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 2: Kraft probably allowed him a window certain conditions if he

540
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: were going to remain, perhaps knowing that Bill Belichick wouldn't

541
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 2: accept those, and he didn't. But let's face it, the

542
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 2: New England Patriots, they went to the Super Bowl in

543
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 2: eighty six, it went ninety seven, didn't win it. So

544
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: Belichick was on the sideline for all every one of

545
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 2: the franchises winning Super Bowl Sundays, the Lombardi Trophy Sundays.

546
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 2: And when you consider he has three hundred and thirty

547
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: three wins, will you include the playoffs second of all

548
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 2: time behind Don Chula at three forty seven. But despite

549
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: this incredible resume, which also again includes a couple of

550
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: rings as the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants,

551
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 2: his fortunes severely turned downward when Tom Brady decided to

552
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 2: leave the team as a free agent after twenty nineteen.

553
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 2: There could be no mistake about that. He was there

554
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: since two thousand, which was Belichick's first season ever in Foxborough,

555
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: and the Pats have only made the playoffs the one

556
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: season since Tom left. And well, Tampa Bay actually won

557
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. So even though you can clearly say

558
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: all of Belichick's all of New England super Bowls have

559
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: Belichick's fingerprints on them, it's not the same. But what

560
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: a ride. And you all know Tom Brady was picked

561
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: in the sixth round of the two thousand draft. That

562
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: was two months before Belichick was even hired. Brady. Well,

563
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: you know what's interesting is my Betty Mark Wilson tells

564
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: a story much better. But there was Michael Bishop, Drew Bledsoe,

565
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: there was a third quarterback, undre's Tom Brady. They're only

566
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: gonna keep three and seven coaches sat around the table

567
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: and they voted Don whether to keep Brady or not,

568
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: and five of the seven voted known Bell Belichick overruled them.

569
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 2: He says, I'm keeping him. And of course, once Tom

570
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: Brady replaced Drew Bledsoe in Week two of the twenty

571
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: oh one season. The rest is history. He held that

572
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: chair for the next nineteen seasons, and I know that

573
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: Belichick took a lot of heat for not restoring Bledsoe

574
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: as a starter once he was well enough to play,

575
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: but ended up being the right call. Brady earned the

576
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 2: first of his his five Super Bowl rings following that

577
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: twenty zero one season, and nobody expected the Patriots to

578
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: beat the heavily favored Saint Louis Rams. That was Bill

579
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 2: Belichick's defense. That was Super Bowl thirty six. Now, any

580
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: coach is going to have a falloff after a team

581
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: when you had a Hall of Fame goat quarterback, that

582
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: was part of the dynasty. But Bill Belichick's coming to

583
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, a lot of criticisms since

584
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: he had a seven and nine season with Cam Newton

585
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. Meanwhile, the Brady was leading the Bucks

586
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: to Super Bowl fifty five win. Then Mac Jones, perhaps

587
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: under under other scenarios, might have done better. He responded

588
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: with a Pro Bowl rookie season that even helped New

589
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: England get a wild card berth. But then Josh McDaniels left,

590
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: who I think maybe had a hand in that, and

591
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 2: he's regressed since, and he's played for three different coordinators.

592
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 2: Mac Jones has in three seasons. So it has been

593
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 2: argued that Bill Belichick's handling of his staff, especially when

594
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: it was critique justifiably. So when you name that knucklehead

595
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 2: Matt Patricia your offensive coordinator, and then Joe Judge, neither

596
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: one had a very good offensive background, and you know,

597
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: they ended up replacing him with Bailey Zappy and Bill

598
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: O'Brien didn't work out either, right, So clearly it was

599
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: just a matter of time. Belichick started to feel the

600
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: pressure of Robert Craft's mandate to get back, you know,

601
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: get things back on track. And look, Bill Belichick even

602
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: looked different in front of reporters this year. You know,

603
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty three spring meeting, you know, reporters

604
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: asked Bill Belichick if he thought if they thought, you know,

605
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: their fans should be optimistic about the twenty twenty three season,

606
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: and basically, Belichick, you know, answered the question very oddly,

607
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: referring to the all of the historic achievements that New

608
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 2: England had. But Brady wasn't there anymore. And we all

609
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: know Bill Belichick doesn't like the media. He said it

610
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: as much himself, all right, He's basically said that I

611
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: don't need the media because if I'm winning, they can't

612
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: touch me, and if I'm losing, they can't save me.

613
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: But when you start to get criticism from former team

614
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: captains and legends like Teddy Bruski, who was a member

615
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: of Belichick's first three Super Bowl teams and the twenty

616
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: zh seven squad that remains they were the only team

617
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: to go undefeated during the regular season since the seventy

618
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: two Dolphins and then lost on that miracle player to

619
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: the New York Giants. When you're criticized by those guys,

620
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: you know the writing is on the wall. And then

621
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: there was a lot of angst heading into this season,

622
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three season. It proved justified. So Bill

623
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: Belichick will have some detractors, because yes, it's true that

624
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: he even when he coached the Browns as their head

625
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: coach from ninety one to ninety five, ers record was

626
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: only thirty and forty five. And yet you know, two

627
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: last play seasons among twenty four of his seasons in

628
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: New England serve as a testament that when you don't

629
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: have the Horses. Even Bill Belichick can't win. But this

630
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: is a guy who also was thirty and twelve in

631
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: the postseason. So Tom Brady will be a first ballot

632
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, and I also think that so is

633
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. He also had other I would say Hall

634
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 2: of Fame players, guys like ty Law, Richard Seymour, Rob Gronkowski,

635
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 2: probably many others. But the truth of the matter is,

636
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 2: you know this, this dynasty downturn for a lot. I'm

637
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: trying to think of a way to characterize this was

638
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 2: perhaps predictable and inevitable, but it really went down like

639
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 2: a thud. And I believe that there is a market

640
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,239
Speaker 2: for Bill Belichick, all right. There'll be some that are

641
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: eager to at least talk to him and try to

642
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: track him down. Perhaps he catches Shula. I believe eventually

643
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: he does. Whether it's the Commanders, I don't know if

644
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 2: he wants to take over a rebuild, but they do

645
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: have a nice young quarterback there. He may have autonomy.

646
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: I believe Arthur Blank is probably the best fit in

647
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: at Atlanta has a very good roster, and I'm not

648
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: sure if they have a super Bowl quarterback, but they

649
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 2: perhaps have a lot of players that Bill Belichick and

650
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 2: work with, and that's a very winnable division. As you

651
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: can see, that may well be a fit having a

652
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 2: hard time. He would land in Dallas even if Mike

653
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 2: McCarthy was still there it was gone. I don't think

654
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: Philadelphia is an option even if Nick Sirianni's gone, and

655
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 2: I honestly would wave off both the Raiders and the Chargers.

656
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 2: So it feels like he stays east. But coaches don't

657
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 2: grow on trees, and the Hall of Fame coaches, so

658
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: there are going to be conversations. We're going to have

659
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: a conversation with you coming up at the top of

660
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: the hour. We call it the midnight hour. We opened

661
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 2: the phone lines eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six sixty

662
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: three sixty nine. Two weeks ago, we had a very

663
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: spirited discussion about Russell Wilson and the situation where he

664
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: was somewhat unceremoniously handled by Sean Payton. We're going to

665
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 2: revisit that because now Denver is issuing statements that it's

666
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: not a foregone conclusion that Russell Wilson's gone. Does that

667
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 2: mean they're going He may be willing to rework a

668
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: contract or is this just just pablum? And remember how

669
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: we talked about Draymond Green's what they called it, the

670
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: the indefinite suspension. Well, he is definitely cleared to come

671
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: back now, and he said a lot of weird things recently.

672
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 2: He's talking again. Well they never stopped talking, you know,

673
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 2: and he's saying things like, well, maybe I should retire. Yeah,

674
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 2: you weren't going to retire, just like you know, Lebron

675
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: talked about retirement last year. You know, he wasn't going

676
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: to retire. I think Lebron will played several more years.

677
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 2: He still affected and saying things like, well, you know,

678
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 2: a leper doesn't change his spots. Hmmm, that's revealing. But

679
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 2: he believes he can stop with the antics. But talk

680
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: is cheap. Talk is cheap. He's had four issues in

681
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: the calendar years twenty twenty three, right, and Draymond, you know,

682
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: basically is trying to sell us that he's better. But

683
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: don't tell me, show me. And well, one last thing

684
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: I want to say, and I want to hear from you,

685
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: you folks at the top of the as I'll tell

686
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 2: you what Draymond said something to Adam Silver that to

687
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 2: me leads me to believe he's gonna he's he's gonna

688
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 2: mess up again. We're gonna get to that. Coming up.

Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're coming to you live from the

700
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: seven nine nine, six six three sixty nine. We're gonna

701
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: get into the Draymond Green situation, and if you'd like

702
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: to weigh in on Russell Wilson, maybe he is back

703
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: with Denver, but I want to focus on Draymond Green.

704
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna bring in the crew as well. Lots of

705
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: good thoughts last Saturday night, and I'm gonna give you

706
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 2: mine in just a second. I want to share that

707
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: conversation you had with Adam Silver. Just a little quick

708
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: housework here. I got a tweet from VJPO nineteen oh six.

709
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 2: He goes Bernie. You mentioned that Bill Parcells never won

710
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl without Bill Belichick. Fair enough, but it

711
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 2: is also fair to say Bill Belichick never won a

712
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowl without Tom Brady. I think Bill Parcells deserves

713
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 2: a little more credit and respect my response. I can

714
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 2: see where my statement's taken out of context, but I

715
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: have tremendous respect for Bill Parcells. However, that doesn't change

716
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: the factual aspect of my statement. Parcels didn't win with

717
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, he didn't win with the Jets, or he

718
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 2: didn't went with the Patriots, but he did win with

719
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: the Belichick when they were with the New York Giants.

720
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 2: It's more about what Bill Belichick did. The last thing

721
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: I want to do is done a great Bill Parcells

722
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 2: think he's one of the greatest coaches of all time.

723
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 2: One of the most interesting people of all time too,

724
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 2: if you know his style and his background. A very

725
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: phenomenal interview as well. Just I believe a football genius

726
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 2: in his ability to get the most out of his team. Again,

727
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 2: Top of the Hour, The Midnight Hour, eight seven, seven

728
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: nine nine six six three six nine. We want to

729
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 2: hear from you. We're going to talk to the crew

730
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: as well. I have him on record as saying I

731
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 2: believe Draymond Green should have been suspended for the rest

732
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: of the year because he's had too many incidents and

733
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: I've given the timeline many, many, many times. We're not

734
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 2: talking about one shot here. How is he ever going

735
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: to learn? Right? He had the Lebron altercation during the

736
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: finals seven years ago, conduct detrimental to the team when

737
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 2: he had a beef with Kevin Durant got his sixteenth

738
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 2: technical back in March, he had the altercation with Sibonis

739
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: Demonte Sabonis Rudy Gobert and the choke and then Nurk

740
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: punches him. Okay, this guy, we're gonna learn. I don't know,

741
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 2: says he is. His conversation with Adam Silver, he claims

742
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: he told him I just told him, Adam, it's just

743
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: too much for me, man, like it's too much, just

744
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: too much is becoming too much. I'm going to retire.

745
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: And then Adam says, no, you're making a rasts decision.

746
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna let you do that. He wasn't going

747
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 2: to retire. So let's get this straight. Though. Here's the

748
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 2: part that bugs me. It's too much for Draymond. That

749
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 2: Draymond keeps hitting and choking people in the middle of

750
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: basketball games. See this is classic Draymond. And why I

751
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 2: don't think he'll ever change because he thinks everything he's

752
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 2: done is justified. He's never changed before, So what's gonna

753
00:39:55,120 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: make him change now? Twelve game suspension? Are you serious? Look,

754
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 2: he has offered what I would call some what I

755
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 2: would characterize is unqualified apologies. He said he failed his family,

756
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 2: himself as partners. He said he miserably failed the Warriors

757
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: as an organization, in particular Steph Curry, who found his

758
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: leadership being questioned because of his antics. And that's what

759
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 2: Greene called him antics. He admitted. Everybody knows well he

760
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be a lunatic. Forget it. We're gonna

761
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 2: bring in the crew. I want to hear from you

762
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 2: eight seven, seven nine, nine, six six three sixty nine.

763
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 2: Very simple. You think Draymond can straighten up and fly

764
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: right and stay that way for the remainder of this

765
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: season and in the future. Or no, did the NBA

766
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 2: do the right thing by letting him back so quickly.

767
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,640

Speaker 1: Right now, the midnight hour.

780
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: We are going to take a deep dive into the

781
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: Draymond Green subject and all the callers. We want to

782
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: hear from you, and we're gonna hear from the crew

783
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: as well. Kevin figures, we're gonna hear from Shay, We're

784
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 2: gonna hear from Mark Ramsey, and we're gonna hear from Ian.

785
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: Everybody's going to weigh in on this because I found

786
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: that most folks have strong opinions all right. I don't

787
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 2: think Draymond is accountable. I am not I am not

788
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: convinced that he will straighten up and fly right. I'm

789
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 2: not moved by his self conscious reach for sympathy. I

790
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: do not believe he will prevent himself from going off

791
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 2: the rails again. Remember we're way down the road. Long before,

792
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 2: I mean, he was taking out opponents. Uh, he did

793
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 2: this half hearted look at me and myself were in

794
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 2: this apology tour, and then he went out and punched

795
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 2: Jordan Poole and ruined the season last year. And he's

796
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: had incidents since, two or three incidents since which I

797
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 2: laid out. We're gonna start with the callers eight seven, seven, nine, nine,

798
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: six six three sixty nine. Dylan from Alaska start us off.

Speaker 2: Go ahead, you got the floor, Dylan, do we have Dylan? Okay?

803
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 2: Something happened, Uh, Dylan, try to dial us back up.

804
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 2: It sounded like you were eager to weigh in on

805
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: the Draymond Green situation. Let's go to Poppy in San Diego. Poppy,

806
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on Draymond Green?

807

Speaker 11: Hey, I'll be drawing up Bernie great yochey, yeah.

00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 7: Thank you.

809
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 11: No, I'm just gonna say Bernie this right here, joint

810
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 11: delivering her a customer that last week.

811
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 7: You know, we did good, We did good and make Poppy.

812
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 2: Are you really going to do this? Buddy? You know

813
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: I love you like a fat kid love cake. What

814
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: a shock you're gonna tell us you predicted Michigan won. Okay,

815
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 2: we're talking about Draymond Green. Poppy, do you want to

816
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: do you want to join us for that?

817
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 7: Yeah?

818
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 12: Yees? Bernie relaxed.

819
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 11: I was gonna try.

820
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to relax Poppy here. You know

821
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 2: I love you, but you do this every time. Nobody cares, Poppy.

822
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: Nobody cares about your fantasy team, nobody cares your predicted

823
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 2: Michigan would win. We did that during the contest and

824
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 2: you were the winner. And I want to I want

825
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 2: to devote our precious airtime tonight to thoughtful opinions about

826
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: Draymond Green. And that's what You're always welcome, But that's

827
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 2: what I want to hear from you. One two three?

828
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 2: Is Poppy there? All right? Well? Pop Poppy wanted to

829
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: remind us that that he did correctly predicted Michigan one.

830
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 2: But that's not what this segment is about, dealing back

831
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 2: with us. Okay, thank you, all right, let's go back

832
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: out to the phone lines our guy, amitt am it?

833
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: You got any thoughts on on Draymond Green?

834
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 13: Oh yes, Bernie, I do. Now look my thing, and

835
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 13: I believe it.

836
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 7: Yeah.

837
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 13: It was Shay who was in Las week and said

838
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 13: this where the counseling for like a month, Like, is

839
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 13: that really going to change the guy? I don't think so.

840
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 13: I mean, you know how it is with public relations, Bernie.

841
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 13: I mean they got they got their PR reps telling them,

842
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,479
Speaker 13: you know, you know what's good and what's not good

843
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 13: to say. I mean, there's no way a month like

844
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 13: this is really what like taught him in this lesson,

845
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 13: especially when he's talking about retiring Bernie. I mean, that's

846
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 13: that's a whole like I don't know. And you also

847
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 13: were talking about Russell Wilson. I got our way on

848
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 13: this too really quickly.

849
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: I know, you go ahead, go ahead.

850
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 13: The other people now like he never had the I

851
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 13: don't know if you saw Bernie, but he was liking

852
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 13: a bunch of tweets from like JPA Football like dissing

853
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 13: the Broncos, like the day it happened and all that.

854
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: I was not aware of that. Actually I was not

855
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 2: aware of that.

856
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 13: Okay, shout out Lohen Krown Isaac Lowan Krohn said that

857
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 13: the day it happened. So personally, I think that their

858
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 13: relationship is pretty strained. I think it's could take a

859
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 13: lot of you know, time for it to come, you know,

860
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 13: to get back to normal. But Russell Wilson, Bernie, if

861
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 13: no one use will pick him up, which at this

862
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 13: point isn't like the craziest thing to say, I think

863
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 13: he's going to be back in Denver. But if someone's

864
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 13: taking him, I think he's.

865
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 2: Out all right, thank you emt appreciated, and I don't

866
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 2: disagree with that. My guess is you're maybe trying to

867
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 2: get him to restructure there, regrouping His numbers really weren't

868
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 2: that bad. But at the same time, I don't think

869
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,240
Speaker 2: Sean Payton never liked him. If he ends up elsewhere,

870
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: I do think he could be a bridge quarterback for

871
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 2: somebody for a couple of years. But I want to

872
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,959
Speaker 2: get back to Draymond Green because a lot of things

873
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 2: have come out of his mouth since last week when

874
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 2: it was announced that he was his suspension was up

875
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: after twelve whole games, and he'd say things like, you know,

876
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 2: I've learned a lot this that, but also a leopard

877
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 2: doesn't change his spots. I'm confused. I'm not confused. I

878
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 2: know you know how I feel. I want the crew

879
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: to have their shot. By the way, will take your

880
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 2: calls eight seven, seven nine, ninety sixty six three six nine.

881
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 2: We're going to continue till we exhaust this. Kevin figures

882
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 2: you weren't with us last Saturday night. Let's start with

883
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 2: you your thoughts on Draymond. Has he learned his lesson?

884
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 2: Do you think he'll screw up again? Did the NBA

885
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 2: handle this correctly?

886
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 10: Well, there's a lots on back with the three questions there.

887
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 10: Do I think he'll change? I hope so, But I

888
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 10: got you got to show me. That's the thing. Anybody

889
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 10: can sit up there and pay lip service to the

890
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 10: media and say that they're willing to change. And by

891
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 10: the way, I agree with you that the retirement thing

892
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 10: is total. You know, bs, I have four years and one

893
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 10: hundred million dollars that he just signed his past offseason,

894
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 10: that many reasons to tell you why he's not going

895
00:46:58,360 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 10: to retire.

896
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 6: That was never going to happen.

897
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 10: Whether or not he's changed, I think it remains to

898
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 10: be seen the fact that, look, he was more contrivete

899
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 10: than he ever has been, for whatever that means. And look,

900
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 10: if he's not fully changed, that makes it even worse

901
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 10: because he's fully aware of the impact that he's made

902
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 10: and how negative that it's been, and at that point

903
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 10: in time, he's just making a mockery of the entire situation.

904
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 10: So I'm certainly hopeful that he's able to change his antics.

905
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 10: But if you're asking me if I think that he

906
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 10: actually will, I don't. Adam Silver has been fairly lenient

907
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 10: in many situations. Look, some people thought that John Moran

908
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 10: should have gotten longer after he had the second gun

909
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 10: situation last season and only got twenty five games to

910
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 10: start this year.

911
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 6: Some people thought it should have been longer.

912
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 10: Adam Silver has shown an incredible amount of grace in

913
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 10: his role as commissioner, and some people think he panders

914
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 10: too much to the players.

915
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 6: That it's a different discussion for a different day.

916
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 10: I think they handled it right and they're trying to

917
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 10: give him the opportunity to try to work through it.

918
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 2: Now.

919
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 10: If he comes back and ends up kicking guys below

920
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 10: the bell then choking people again, I think at that

921
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 10: point in time before Adam Silver, you have to seriously

922
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 10: consider giving this guy a probably even a year long

923
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 10: suspension at that point. But as of right now, I'm

924
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 10: willing to take Draymond and his word and say that

925
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 10: he's willing to change.

926
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 6: Let's let him get back in the lineup and let's

927
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 6: see what he does.

928
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough cover a lot of ground there, and

929
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 2: I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see.

930
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 2: You know what I think. Let's go back out to

931
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 2: the phone lines, Poppy from San Diego, your thoughts on

932
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 2: the matter.

933
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 11: Hey, sorry, Bernie got cut off, and I really apologized

934
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 11: for that. I'm wanna talk about Demon Green. Demon Green. Look,

935
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 11: I think he deserves more suspension. I met Adam Silver

936
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 11: last year in Las Vegas, and what I met him

937
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 11: and a con over there it was a player's Conrad Thuring,

938
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 11: a hometown Las Vegas, and he's very for the players.

939
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 11: He's like very for the players, so I'm not surprised

940
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 11: he met with Damon Green and he convinced him, Hey,

941
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 11: don't restard don't retard in my conspiracy theories here with

942
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 11: Daimon Green, he's just apologizing. But like you said, Bernie,

943
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,439
Speaker 11: he's gonna get back. He's gonna have that anger. He's

944
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 11: not gonna hold back, and I want to be surprised

945
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 11: if he hits someone and then he needs to get

946
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 11: a bigger suspense and like for the rest of the

947
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:01,240
Speaker 11: year and no pay.

948
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,720
Speaker 2: Real quickly, Poppy. Since you since you met Adam Silver

949
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 2: and talked with him one on one, I've not done that.

950
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 2: What was your impression to him?

951
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 7: Yeah?

952
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 11: Look, when I met Adam Silver and I talked to

953
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 11: him one on one and ask him some question, actually

954
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 11: asked him a question, Bernie about the playing tournament, and

955
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 11: I asked him, Hey, Adam Silver, would you be willing

956
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 11: to give fans a free ticket to the play in Fermanent?

957
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 11: And he was very exciting to be like, yeah, that

958
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 11: seems like a good idea. Did I get free tickets

959
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 11: to the play in Fermanent in Las Vegas and the

960
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 11: Tmobile Arena? No, But he was very nice. He was

961
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 11: talking and he's like he wanted to hear feedback from

962
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,439
Speaker 11: people that were fans like the NBM A big NBA fan,

963
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 11: and yeah, he seemed very nice, like you wanted to

964
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 11: get from the people.

965
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 2: Appreciate that insight, poppy, thank you enjoying your weekend. That

966
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 2: seems to fall in line. I know that he's a

967
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 2: bit of a politician, Adam Silver, and I think Kevin's right,

968
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 2: he's got a reputation if you want to protect the

969
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 2: product and protect the players, but there has to be

970
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 2: some discretion as well when you have seven incidents like, uh,

971
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: Draymond has shay. You had some interesting thoughts last Saturday night,

972
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 2: Uh share the share what the folks what your thoughts were?

973
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I was.

974
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 14: I was pretty upset with the the NBA and just

975
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 14: everything that kind of happened. I mean what I was

976
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 14: kind of saying last week was I kind of thought

977
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 14: it was almost like a conspiracy at most, Like it

978
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 14: was almost like, hey, like Chris Paul's hands injured, and

979
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,879
Speaker 14: Adam Silver is now like, hey, like, all right, let's

980
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 14: let's let Draymond come back, and like they were saying

981
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,439
Speaker 14: that it's going to be I forgot the exact word age,

982
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 14: but Bernie, if you couldn't remind me, they said that

983
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 14: it was going to be.

984
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 4: The suspension was not like what was the words they

985
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 4: used for this definite.

986
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 14: It was indefinite, so it seemed like something that was

987
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 14: going to be a long time, but it was only

988
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 14: twelve games and that's not a long time at all.

989
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 14: And when you want to compare that to Ja Morant,

990
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 14: who I mean, obviously heditioned a gun, but in the end,

991
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 14: it was violence. And if you could put him in

992
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 14: the same category as violence, and it's it's something that's

993
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 14: very similar, and when you have something that's very similar,

994
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 14: And the reason why Ja Morance was so bad was

995
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 14: because he did it again. He's something that he did

996
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 14: over time, like twice I think three times, or that

997
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 14: was the second time doing it, and this is Draymond's

998
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,919
Speaker 14: like fifth or sixth time, seventh, fourth time this year, right,

999
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 14: So it's like, why would it be any different, Like

1000
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 14: why is it any different?

1001
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 4: And that's what just made no sense to me.

1002
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 14: That's why I think it's a conspiracy theory to where

1003
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 14: Chris Paul's out they needed it's a big market. They're

1004
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 14: trying to help out the big market because in the end,

1005
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 14: these big market markets end up helping out the NBA.

1006
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 14: That's kind of my two take, kind of conspiracy theory.

1007
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 14: I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, but I don't know

1008
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 14: it's this was this was something that just didn't sit

1009
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 14: right with me, especially after the whole stance they took

1010
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 14: on Ja Moran.

1011
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 4: It just didn't really sit right with me.

1012
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 2: I'm not dismissed that theory because the timing is hot.

1013
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, Chris Paul or yeah, Chris Paul

1014
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 2: goes down a star guy who sells tickets. Well, maybe

1015
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 2: we bring Draymond back. And then I asked you, what

1016
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 2: are your you know, what are your thoughts about let's

1017
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 2: say Draymond returns, will he ever do this again in

1018
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 2: the future? And I think if if memory, sir, if

1019
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 2: you thought there's a good chance he would do it

1020
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 2: again this year, I don't want to put words in

1021
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 2: your mouth. Was that your answer?

1022
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if he's gonna I mean,

1023
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 4: maybe be.

1024
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 14: A real idiot if he did it, could happen it

1025
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 14: seriously like fool me once. But like I just if

1026
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 14: he does it again, what do you think they do? Like,

1027
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 14: what do you think they have to? Because boy, because

1028
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 14: you're saying he's doing it again. So if he does it,

1029
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 14: I think he's gonna do it again. I'm not.

1030
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 2: I don't know that it'll be this year, but I

1031
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:53,959
Speaker 2: but regardless, I am not convinced in any way that

1032
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 2: he will play the rest of his career without having

1033
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 2: another incident like this.

1034
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 4: And what it's a six figure fine and he won't

1035
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 4: play for the rest of the year.

1036
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 2: I just don't know. I don't know what you do,

1037
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: because I would. I would have kept him out this

1038
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 2: entire year.

1039
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 4: He say, That's what I thought was gonna happen too.

1040
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the deal. And I want to I want

1041
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 2: to flip to Mark Ramsey because Mark had a very

1042
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 2: interesting thought on this very subject. Because if the punishment

1043
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 2: is not of the ilk to where it really causes

1044
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 2: you to look inward and say to yourself, Okay, I

1045
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 2: know what I have, I don't want to lose it,

1046
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 2: Then what did it really do? Mark? Repeat for the

1047
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 2: folks what you said last Saturday night.

1048
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 15: If I don't know the exactly words, I'm just going

1049
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 15: to say, almost any household you have your parents or

1050
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 15: whoever is the adult, and they find a way to

1051
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 15: make it a consequence for you not to repeat bad behavior.

1052
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 15: They found something to take away. I guess it could

1053
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 15: be your your phone now nowadays, or be able to

1054
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 15: take away your car, or maybe you love tea or

1055
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 15: just something that you love. The NBA the commissioner has

1056
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 15: to find something that Draymond loves and be able to

1057
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 15: take it away from him legally through basketball and to

1058
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 15: say you can't do this anymore. I don't know if

1059
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 15: they could do something with his money. I don't know

1060
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 15: if they could do I don't know, make him play

1061
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 15: without checks, I don't know. But there has to be something,

1062
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 15: some kind of consequence that he's gonna, you know, really

1063
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 15: think twice about his behavior over for the rest of

1064
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 15: the season and beyond. Because if a person does certain

1065
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 15: behavior and they don't learn from it, or they just

1066
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 15: don't see anything that's going to stop them. Nothing's gonna

1067
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 15: make me afraid to keep being a certain person. Why

1068
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 15: should I stop?

1069
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 2: See? I think that's fair spot on. You know the analogy.

1070
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 2: You take a teenager, you take away a cell phone,

1071
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 2: you might as well cut off his arm, right, I mean,

1072
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 2: that's r that's serious business man.

1073
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 6: They'll go ahead for days.

1074
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god, let's say I'll take away your cell

1075
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 2: phone for a month. I mean, they'd rather be in

1076
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 2: prison forget to.

1077
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 6: Ian you know, Instagram and whatever these that.

1078
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 2: That stuff too. Yeah, so you remove him from the

1079
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 2: living is essentially what you're doing. So you can folks

1080
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 2: can google this. One of the very first major insider

1081
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 2: trading cases was thirty years ago, forty years ago and

1082
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 2: involved a guy by the name of Ivan Boski, and

1083
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 2: Ivan Bowsky was fined about a billion dollars and he

1084
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 2: went to jail, and he lost his marriage and his

1085
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 2: family and was scorned. And Ivan Bowski, after he got

1086
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 2: out of jail, admitted that the most cruel punishment for

1087
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 2: him wasn't the fine, wasn't losing his marriage, wasn't going

1088
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 2: to jail, but the fact that he would never be

1089
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 2: allowed to trade securities again. They took away his license,

1090
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 2: they took away the thing that got him up in

1091
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 2: the morning. That's why, after seven incidents and for this year,

1092
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 2: I say, Draymond sit the rest of the year. We'll

1093
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 2: see in November, because you'll start to ponder your navel

1094
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 2: and say, oh my god, I know what my life

1095
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 2: is like with basketball. Now I know what it looks

1096
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 2: like without. I don't want this. I want basketball back.

1097
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 2: So if I'm wrong, I'll be happy. To admit it.

1098
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 2: If Draymond is sparkling in a you know, a solid citizen,

1099
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 2: the remainder of his career never screws up again, I

1100
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 2: will retract it in a heartbeat. And that's what I'm

1101
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 2: rooting for. I just I don't have any faith it'll happen.

1102
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 2: Eight seven, seven, nine nine six sixty three six nine.

1103
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 2: What do you think about Draymond? Did the NBA handle

1104
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 2: this right? Do you expect him to have an incident

1105
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 2: again at any time the remainder of his career? Ian

1106
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 2: your chance to weigh in on this?

1107
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, Bernie, I uh, I'm actually a Warriors fan, so

1108
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 16: I'm you know, kind of plugged into this. For me,

1109
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 16: I have to disagree with what you're saying about spending

1110
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 16: him the rest of the season.

1111
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:02,760
Speaker 6: I think this.

1112
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 2: Tell me why I fair enough. We want alternative opinions.

1113
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 2: There's all saying if one, if everybody agrees, that only

1114
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 2: what head's doing and thinking. So let's give me your rationale.

1115
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 2: Ask to why not? Because I'm necessarily disagreeing with you,

1116
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 2: but I'd like to hear what are the factors you

1117
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 2: considered in not doing that.

1118
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 16: It's not the fact that I think the amount of

1119
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 16: times that he's done this doesn't warrant a full season suspension.

1120
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 16: It's the fact that he's only been suspended like, what

1121
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 16: three games at a time. Before this suspension, the longest

1122
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 16: one he'd had was like what three games, five games?

1123
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. I don't have that information offhand.

1124
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: But I actually, well, I actually have the information. He

1125
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 2: was suspended for five games after the Rudy Gobert altercation.

1126
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,919
Speaker 2: Prior to that, each of his suspensions were only one game,

1127
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 2: including the NBA Finals.

1128
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 16: Go ahead, okay, I mean the point is that you can't,

1129
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 16: in my opinion, you can't go from a five game

1130
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 16: suspension to eighty two games rest of the season, you know,

1131
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 16: and whether that be like sixty something games rest of

1132
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 16: the season. To me, I think this suspension that he

1133
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 16: just got this eleven games, twelve games, it almost sets

1134
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 16: up a larger suspension if he were to do it again.

1135
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 16: I don't know if he will do it again. I'm

1136
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 16: kind of with you there, like it's it's hard to

1137
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 16: say that he won't when it's it just keeps on happening.

1138
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 4: But I'm just of the opinion that you can't.

1139
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 16: Jump from like a three game suspension five game suspension

1140
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 16: up to rest of season. I think this is like

1141
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 16: a building block that you know, gives them, gives Adam Silver,

1142
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 16: gives the league an excuse to give him that big, big,

1143
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 16: big suspension that they you know, he might deserve.

1144
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 2: But so November nineteenth, this year will be the twentieth

1145
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 2: anniversary of the mouse at the Palace. I was there

1146
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 2: doing a radio motel. The whole thing, ron Artests was

1147
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 2: suspended for the whole season. Your point has merit. I'm

1148
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 2: not dismissive of it. I would say this that perhaps

1149
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 2: the sh he should have had linkedier suspensions prior to this,

1150
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 2: because this was his fourth incident in county year twenty

1151
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,919
Speaker 2: twenty three alone, So he's not got a body of works.

1152
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 2: Go back out to the phones, sir, scratch off from Arkansas.

1153
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about Draymond?

1154
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 17: Hey, buddy, how you doing, sir?

1155
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 2: Doing well? You man?

1156
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 17: I've got my a ram hoodie on. I'm ready for

1157
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 17: this weekend to get that out of the way. I

1158
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 17: want to beat golf really bad. But let's go to

1159
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 17: Draymond Green and I hope you give me you just

1160
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 17: a few minutes, tell you what I got. I've been

1161
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 17: through all this years ago. I mean I just went

1162
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 17: to and a half years ago. I've been sober thirty

1163
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 17: five years of drinking, bad personality, bad angers, and they

1164
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 17: give me anger management classes that helped me. And you're

1165
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 17: not going to find a lot of Gold State people

1166
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 17: that wants him gone because they want to win championships.

1167
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 17: They don't care where his hands go or see. They're

1168
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 17: up forgetting wins. And if this young man chee, I'm

1169
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 17: gonna say, young man, I'm fifty eight in March.

1170
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 2: But my question, sir scratch off, because we were short

1171
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 2: on time, do you believe this suspension was appropriate? And

1172
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 2: do you believe Draymond will act out again? Those are

1173
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 2: the two things I want to know.

1174
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 17: Okay, it's a system it again.

1175
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 2: Okay, do you believe the suspension was appropriate?

1176
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 17: No, he should have got the whole season and make

1177
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 17: him find out what's going on with hisself. He needs

1178
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 17: some help. He's gonna hurt somebody real, right what he says?

1179
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 2: All right, sir scratch Off. I appreciate you man, enjoy

Speaker 2: He lost? Nick? Are you there? Nick? Good sir? Go ahead?

1193
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 9: Graymont good ballplayer, but he is not so definitely gonna

1194
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 9: do it again.

1195
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm in agreement with that. We'll see. Do you

1196
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 2: think the NBA handled this correctly? The incident was December twelfth.

1197
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: He was cleared to come back a week ago. He's,

1198
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 2: you know, getting ready to come back. That's not even

1199
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 2: a month.

1200
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's no there's no good lengths. He can't give

1201
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 9: him where he's gonna stop doing it. He just gotta

1202
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 9: give him community service. No more fines, community service for

1203
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 9: the players.

1204
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 2: Fair enough. It wasn't it wasn't a criminal act. He

1205
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 2: wasn't charged anything. But all right, all right, then, good stuff. Man,

1206
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 2: don't be a stranger every Friday night at midnight to

1207
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 2: mind that hour. Hold it down right back at you, man.

1208
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 2: The folks in Minnesota are so cool. I well, I

1209
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 2: appreciate all the but you know, I used to do

1210
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 2: that thing, and you know in Minitalka, Minnesota. It's going

1211
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 2: to be lit that it ran its course after beforecause

1212
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 2: maybe I need to bring it back because I spent

1213
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 2: a lot of time in Minnesota. Okay, Jesse, is it

1214
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 2: South Dakota? Jesse? San Diego, San Diego, SD.

1215
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 18: I was wrong, Go ahead, Well, just some observations on

1216
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 18: the situation. I would say that one thing I haven't

1217
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 18: heard from Draymond Green is that he should be embarrassed.

1218
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 18: I mean, I was embarrassed for him by his antics.

1219
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 18: And then you have Steve Kerr struggling at the microphone

1220
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 18: and the game's trying to do the right things, stick

1221
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 18: up your player thing. And Steve Kerr is usually very

1222
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 18: respectful and everything he has to say about anything, but

1223
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 18: you know, him struggling to you know, depend Draymond could

1224
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 18: ultimately be you know, something that brass and Golden Steak

1225
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 18: gets tired of as well. And the thing is, I

1226
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 18: think Draymond is just the sore loser, you know, fake

1227
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 18: tough guy. I mean, I wonder how his active play

1228
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 18: in the days of Charles oak leagusd Avid McDaniel ever

1229
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 18: and Bill and beer and that sort of thing. And

1230
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 18: and as far as like the John Moran comparison goes,

1231
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 18: the job Moran stuff was off the court. It's something

1232
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 18: that Memphis should have been aware of. And you know,

1233
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 18: with a kid in the background and just you know,

1234
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 18: quick to start them, they should have been you know,

1235
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 18: they should have been the ones who suspended him or

1236
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 18: you know, conduct detrimental to the team for the first

1237
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 18: instance with the gun and took it upon themselves to

1238
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 18: you know, get this kid counseling and stuff like that.

1239
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 18: And so therefore when the league comes down and throws

1240
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 18: a twenty five game suspension at him, it's more, you know,

1241
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 18: it's it's you know, punishing the team as well. So

1242
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 18: the thing Draymond I think, you know, he gets to

1243
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 18: the point of the league they realized they're punishing Golden

1244
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 18: State for his spontaneous antics on the court, and so

1245
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 18: at some point when you say in definite suspension, you

1246
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 18: have to start thinking, Okay, if he's going to be

1247
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 18: out for the year, do you grant Golden State a

1248
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 18: mid level level exemption or something like that so they

1249
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 18: can bring out another player? And I'm steing to get

1250
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 18: so much of a conspiracy theory, but those are certain

1251
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 18: things that the league, I would think would have to.

1252
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 2: Well real quickly, just got a few seconds. How long

1253
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 2: would you have suspended him for I'm on record at enough.

1254
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 18: Well, I I don't think it was long enough. I

1255
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 18: would have suspended them for the rest of the year.

1256
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 18: But then I would have given Golden State like a

1257
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 18: mid level exemption to make up for the fact that

1258
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 18: he's gone from the roster.

1259
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 2: That's pretty that's pretty generous, man, because they've enabled this behavior.

1260
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 2: All right, appreciate your thoughts, Jesse and san Diego. Every

1261
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 2: Friday night, midnight, the midnight hour, you are welcome to

1262
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 2: join the party we want to try to have. I

1263
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 2: wouldn't call this a polarizing subject, but I think it's

1264
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 2: one that a lot of folks have have varying opinions on.

1265
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 2: Coming up again, We're gonna keep the phone lines open

1266
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 2: the entire midnight hour here twelve to one Pacific time

1267
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 2: eight seven, seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.

1268
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 2: If you didn't get a chance to get in, you

1269
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 2: have a chance to get in. Because this is a

1270
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 2: subject that I think we'll revisit itself, and I've actually

1271
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 2: tried to separate it from the Jah Morant situation, even

1272
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 2: though I know it's it's somewhat easy to conflate the

1273
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 2: two because Ja Moranc got twenty five games and Draymond

1274
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 2: the most he's gotten his twelve. But this is his

1275
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 2: seventh incident. That's what rankles me. And the other thing

1276
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 2: that rankles me is a lot of things that come

1277
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 2: the come out of Draymond's mouth, which lead me to

1278
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 2: believe he believes all of his actions are justified, that

1279
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 2: everything he's done has a you know, has a valid,

1280
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 2: you know, rationalization. That's what I really think he thinks.

1281
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 2: So we'll continue on with that coming up. We need

1282
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 2: to start to dive into this wild card weekend as well.

1283
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 2: But first let's go back to our guy, Kevin Figures

1284
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 2: with the latest.

1285
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 10: All right, Bernie Well talking about those Golden State Warriors,

1286
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 10: SAMs Draymond. They did pick up a come from behind

1287
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 10: victory in Chicago one forty one thirty one. Klay Thompson

1288
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 10: their leading scorer with thirty point Steph Curry score twenty

1289
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 10: seven fifteen in the fourth quarter. They overcame a thirty

1290
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 10: nine point effort there from DeMar DeRozan. Elsewhere, nicolea Jokics

1291
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 10: with a twenty seven point triple doubles lead Denver over

1292
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 10: New Orleans one twenty five to one thirteen.

1293
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 6: Utah is on fire. They've won ten of their last twelve.

1294
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 10: A one forty five to one thirteen victory for the

1295
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 10: Jazz over Toronto twenty seven points and eleven rebounds for

1296
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 10: victor Winbinyama in just twenty minutes of work as the

1297
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 10: Spurs blew out Charlotte. Paul George scored thirty seven points

1298
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 10: for the Clippers, who defeated at Memphis one twenty eight

1299
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 10: to one, nineteen, Miami at three point victory over Orlando Rockets,

1300
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 10: with a one twelve to one ten victory over Detroit Pistons,

1301
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 10: now three and thirty six on the year. In college basketball,

1302
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 10: Boise State defeated in Nevada sixty four to fifty six.

1303
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 10: Wolf Pack were fifteen and one headed into that matchup.

1304

Speaker 10: You also have Big Ten Conference victories for Iowa and

1305
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,520

01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 10: Hicks toy four year, forty four million dollar contract. Back

1307

1308
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 2: You know, Kevin, I hear that. Pistons three and thirty six. Yeah,

1309
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 2: so the nineteen eighty four Tigers, as you well know,

1310
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 2: were thirty five and five in their first forty games.

1311
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 2: My good buddy, Marty Cash to you a guy played

1327
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 2: the Draymond Green subject matter. We're joined by Kyle right

1328
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas.

1329
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 12: Howdyho, Kyle, I'm doing well. I'm doing well, really quick.

1330
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 12: You just touched on it shortly, briefly there before I

1331
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 12: got through. Harmer works herself out. John Marat took care

1332
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 12: of itself. I mean, people felt like he shouldn't have

1333
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 12: been back this season, and look what happened. Draymond unfortunately

1334
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 12: had his temper tanks from outbursts, and he's like a

1335
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 12: three year old. He's like my four year old. He

1336
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 12: says that he's not gonna do it again, and does

1337
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 12: it right again, gets caught with his hand in the cookie.

1338
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 2: Jar every time.

1339
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 12: It's not going to be enough until he's actually injured

1340
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 12: for this season and not wishing no harm on the

1341
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 12: young man. But at the end of the day, Carmela

1342
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 12: comes back to you.

1343
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 2: So it hang right there, Kyle, it you know. I'll

1344
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 2: be darned, And I thought I was thinking the same

1345
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 2: thing when I saw what happened to John Moran. I know,

1346
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 2: Rashid Wallace when I covered the Pistons used to have

1347
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 2: a saying ball don't lie. So if a file was

1348
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 2: called on him, which really wasn't a file, the guy

1349
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 2: would miss his free throws. And you remember in twenty

1350
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 2: sixteen his first incident when he went after Lebron's another region.

1351
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:52,799
Speaker 2: It was suspended for game five. Remember that, Yeah, I do.

1352
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 12: And that wasn't I honestly don't think that that was

1353
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:58,919
Speaker 12: long enough. Then he's a great player. He's a talented

1354
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 12: and great big man. But in today's NBA, the stuff

1355
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 12: that he's pulling is from my childhood NBA and is

1356
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 12: not tolerated today's game, and it should be out.

1357
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:09,879
Speaker 2: Of that game period.

1358
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 12: He shouldn't have nothing to do with that. And it's

1359
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 12: hurting his team if he looks at it way more

1360
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:16,520
Speaker 12: than it helps them.

1361
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 2: A great call, Kyle, don't be a stranger Friday night

1362
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 2: at midnights at the midnight out really good stuff. And

1363
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 2: I will leave it with this thought, that one in

1364
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, you know, always stuck out of my mind.

1365
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 2: I truly believe he cost the Warriors a championship. They

1366
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 2: were leading Cleveland and Lebron and Kyrie Irving and the

1367
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 2: ty Lu team three games to one. They let him

1368
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 2: up off the matic gave Cleveland life. The Cleveland comes

1369
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 2: back and winning seven. There's nobody I've ever talked to

1370
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:44,640
Speaker 2: that didn't believe if Draymond hadn't been suspended that the

1371
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 2: Warriors would have won that year. So he I believe

1372
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 2: had a hand in costing them a championship. And then

1373
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 2: multiple incidents since which I've laid out too many times.

1374
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 2: People are getting tired of hearing, including four this year.

1375
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 2: We will see how the rest of the year plays out.

1376
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 2: We got a lot of basketball left in twenty twenty four,

1377
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 2: including the playoffs. Back out to the phone lines, Jim

1378
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 2: in Saint Louis, Hey, Jim, did you bring any Emo's

1379
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 2: pizza to the show tonight? One of my all time favorites?

1380
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,520
Speaker 7: How did you know? I delivery most pizza?

1381
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 2: Do you really see? I knew that, Jim. I try

1382
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 2: to research Michael. They cut it in squares. Man, it's

1383
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 2: so so good, so good that Charlie Charlie Genus on

1384
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 2: the Hill my two favorite places to eat in Saint Louis.

1385
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:26,839
Speaker 2: But but I digress.

1386
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 8: Go ahead, go ahead, Jim, Yeah, I'm sitting here in

1387
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 8: Emo's long sleeve shirt, so pretty cold here.

1388
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 2: So what are your thoughts on Draymond?

1389
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 8: Well, you've been out a really crucial thing which fills

1390
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 8: the punch of Jordan Poole.

1391
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's one of many incidents. It screwed the

1392
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 2: last season, though. I guess my question is A do

1393
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 2: you think Draymond will ever act out again? And B

1394
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 2: did the envy?

1395
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 7: Pardon me, no doubt he will?

1396
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 2: Fair enough? How about with respect to what they decided

1397
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,440
Speaker 2: to do indefinite but then all of a sudden December

1398
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 2: or you know, last week, he's a free man again.

1399
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 2: He's just getting himself back in game shape. Did the

1400
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 2: NBA handle this correctly?

1401
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 8: No? Definitely.

1402
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 2: What should they have done?

1403
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 8: It should have been twenty minimum?

1404
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough. I just look thanks a lot, Jim

1405
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 2: for checking. I appreciate you, man. And every Friday night,

1406
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 2: the midnight hour, this is what we want. We want,

1407
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 2: you know, fruitful dialogue, not just one opinion eight seven

1408
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 2: seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. She'll take

1409
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 2: your calls. We are going to remain open on this subject.

1410
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:43,879
Speaker 2: And if you even want to touch on Russell Wilson,

1411
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 2: he may be back with the Broncos. After all, we'll see,

1412
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 2: but you know, we've got about twenty minutes until we

1413
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 2: move on top of the hour. Actually, I'm going to

1414
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 2: give the Michigan Wolverines their flowers. I know it sounds

1415
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 2: like or it feels like it's ancient history. Now that

1416
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 2: you know Michigan won the national championship, I'll tell you

1417
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 2: what's going on with Harball. I'm gonna give you some

1418
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:07,719
Speaker 2: thoughts on Jim Harbaugh going back to his playing days

1419
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 2: and what I think is gonna happen next. And you've

1420
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,680
Speaker 2: heard me critical of Jim Harball over the years, But

1421
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 2: there's a couple of stories I may share with you

1422
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 2: that will that will be more objective. But again eight

1423
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 2: seven seven nine, nine sixty six three sixty nine, last

1424
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 2: chance to get in on this. We'll do one more segment.

1425
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 2: Did anybody want to want to join us and weigh

1426
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 2: in on Draymond with respect to did the NBA handle

1427
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 2: this right? And do you think he'll do it again?

1428
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,799
Speaker 2: But coming up, I want to talk wild Card weekend.

1429
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 2: You might have some interesting you might be interested to

1430
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 2: know that there are, okay, there are what how many?

1431
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 2: There are four quarterbacks this weekend that are making their

1432
01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 2: playoff debut, what you call the first time jitters angle,

1433
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 2: how typically have they done? And also one of the

1434
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 2: wildcard angles that's very critical. And this goes back to

1435
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 2: the year two thousand when you put two teams side

1436
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 2: by side and one has a much better regular season

1437
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,560
Speaker 2: strength to schedule. I'll tell you how that team performs

1438
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 2: against the team that has the lesser strength to schedule,

1439
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 2: and it will take a little closer look at this

1440
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 2: Saturday Wildcard doubleheader coming up. But again eight seven seven

1441
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 2: nine nine six six three six nine. If you haven't

1442
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 2: gotten in eight seven to seven ninety nine on Fox,

1443
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 2: want to hear from you regarding Draymond Green. Did the

1444
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 2: NBA get this right? And do you think he will

1445
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 2: act out again? I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're coming to live

1446
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,560
Speaker 2: from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tirect dot com studios.

1447
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 2: Don't go away, You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle Show

1448
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back on the Bernie

1449
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 2: Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy Live from the tyrec

1450
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 2: dot com studios here in Las Vegas. Last chance to

1451
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 2: get in on the Draymond Green discussion? Will he do

1452
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 2: it again? Do you expect him to straighten up and

1453
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 2: fly right or will he do it again? And did

1454
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,799
Speaker 2: the NBA handle this correctly? Seem like an awfully short,

1455
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 2: indefinite suspension given that he's had seven incidents eight seven,

1456
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 2: seven nine nine six six three six ' nine. If

1457
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 2: you wish to weigh and go out to the phones,

1458
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:23,720
Speaker 2: Gary in California joins us.

1459
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 7: Gary your thoughts, hey, Bernie gradjo Yeah, this go back

1460
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 7: to the punch. I mean, it obviously goes back to

1461
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 7: the the Lebron thing. But he's gotten worse with this stuff,

1462
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 7: especially with the punch. He sabotaged last year with the punch.

1463
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 7: Now he's sabotaged this year with the antics, as he

1464
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 7: calls them. But the Warriors have enabled him. They gave

1465
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,600
Speaker 7: him one hundred million dollar contract four years, which I

1466
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 7: thought it was just totally ridiculous for what he's done.

1467
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 7: And then you've got the de facto GM and Steph

1468
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 7: Curry and he's he's finally gotten on board with maybe

1469
01:14:59,880 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 7: the Warriors that need to make changes. Now, initially the

1470
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 7: Warriors should have given him twenty games. Now the point

1471
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 7: is the league has had to step in because the

1472
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 7: Warriors didn't handle it properly, and the league is doing

1473
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 7: what they're doing, and obviously I think this suspension should

1474
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 7: have been at least twenty to twenty five games, Bernie.

1475
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 2: All fair points. Do you believe that Draymond will act

1476
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 2: out again?

1477
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 9: Oh?

1478
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:27,600
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I mean, you know, we've all had people in

1479
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 7: our family that have these kind of issues, whether it

1480
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 7: be anger management, our addiction problems, and like you said earlier,

1481
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 7: Leopards don't change their spot and that was his quote.

1482
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 2: That was his quote too.

1483
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, guarantee, it's gonna happen again, Bernie, and it

1484
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 7: may happen worse, you know. I mean, he could have

1485
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 7: gone to jail for that punch on Jordan Poole, that

1486
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 7: that was a criminal offense.

1487
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 2: All really good points. Gary grew good stuff Friday Night's

1488
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 2: Midnight Hour. You're always welcome to join us through. It

1489
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 2: brought some good points, and I think what sticks out

1490
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 2: in my mind is if you look at the last

1491
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 2: two months of the twenty twenty three season, coming to

1492
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 2: and end March in April, he had the situation where

1493
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:12,719
Speaker 2: he had Draymond had recorded his sixteenth technical in March

1494
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three, which is an automatic one game suspension,

1495
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 2: and then he had the altercation when he stepped on

1496
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 2: Demontes Sabonis while he was on the ground. That was

1497
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 2: in April. Season comes to an end. The Warriors were

1498
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,720
Speaker 2: a fairly early exit. The season starts in November, right

1499
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 2: out of the gate, he has the altercation with Rudy

1500
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 2: Gobert and the choke what not even three weeks four

1501
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 2: weeks later he has the altercation with Usef Nurkic. So

1502
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 2: the first two months of this season he missteps. In

1503
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:46,679
Speaker 2: the last two months of last season he miss steps.

1504
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 2: And that doesn't even include again the situation in twenty

1505
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 2: eighteen when he of course had the internal strife with

1506
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant and he was suspended for one game for

1507
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,760
Speaker 2: contact detrimental to the team. That was the first month

1508
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,599
Speaker 2: of the season in twenty eighteen, and then June sixteen.

1509
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 2: June of twenty sixteen, he had the altercation with Lebron

1510
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 2: and was suspended for one game during the NBA Finals.

1511
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 2: And let's not forget the Jordan Poole punch, which, as

1512
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 2: Gary Apley pointed out, if you do that on the street,

1513
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:25,839
Speaker 2: that is a criminal offense. That's seven incidents, and the Warriors,

1514
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 2: I believe have enabled him so we shall see what

1515
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:35,600
Speaker 2: we shall see. He'll either find a way to perhaps

1516
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:40,440
Speaker 2: don't I don't. I don't have the verbiage to describe

1517
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 2: what I believe Draymond has to do within his own

1518
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 2: soul searching to come up with a way to understand

1519
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 2: that he's and we didn't even talk about this. There's

1520
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 2: not a doubt in my mind. He'll be provoked. He'll

1521
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 2: be provoked by somebody, and we'll see if he is

1522
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 2: able to turn the other chief as it were. I

1523
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 2: am betting know that that Draymond's not going to be

1524
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 2: able to make it. He may be find the rest

1525
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 2: of this year, but I think it's just a matter

1526
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 2: of time. You know, he Draymond said it himself. A

1527
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 2: leopard doesn't change his spots, and I truly believe in

1528
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 2: his heart of hearts, he believes everything he's done has

1529
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 2: been justified. All Right, I'm very much looking forward where

1530
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 2: you know, it's been a pretty an excellent NFL season

1531
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 2: and by the way, the TV ratings, you know, warrant that.

1532
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 2: But we've got some interesting wild card matchups because there

1533
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:38,799
Speaker 2: are four quarterbacks making their first ever start in the playoffs.

1534
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 2: C J. Stroud, Jordan love Mason Rudolphin, of course Tua. Well,

1535
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 2: they're on notice quarterbacks making their first career playoffs starts.

1536
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 2: They're twenty one and thirty eight against the spread in

1537
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 2: the last twenty one postseasons. And oh, by the way,

1538
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 2: by the way, it matters who you play in their

1539
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 2: regular season. According to the stats, it's too thousand when

1540
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 2: you get to the playoffs. Teams that have had a

1541
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 2: better regular season strength to schedule by a certain margin.

1542
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 2: They're eighty seven and forty one against the spread in

1543
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 2: the last well since two thousand. That's sixty seven percent

1544
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:18,799
Speaker 2: against the spread. Who falls into that category the Cleveland Browns,

1545
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 2: the La Rams, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I actually think

1546
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 2: the Steelers, even without TJ. Watt, they're gonna give Buffalo

1547
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 2: a hard time. Twenty mile an hour wins with gus

1548
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 2: up to fifty and Steelers have run the ball four

1549
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 2: hundred seventy yards the last three weeks. I'm not so

1550
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 2: sure about the Rams. I'm not in love with him

1551
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 2: like a lot of people are. I'm gonna give my

1552
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 2: thoughts about that Saturday night, and I think Cleveland is

1553
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 2: going to have their hands full with Tech. The Texans However, ironically,

1554
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 2: if Cleveland gets by the Texans, and I'm not so

1555
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 2: sure they're going to, they'll go to Baltimore next week.

1556
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 2: And would it surprise me if Cleveland were upset Baltimore. No,

1557
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 2: I'm not predicting that. But later on in the show,

1558
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:58,639
Speaker 2: we're going to get into the wildcard doubleheader. We'll get

1559
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 2: you the times storylines Browns Texans, which you'll kick off

1560
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 2: at four thirty pm Eastern time, and then of course

1561
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 2: Dolphins Chiefs a thirty Eastern time, and you better have

1562
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 2: peacock because if you don't, you won't be watching the game.

1563
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 2: That's the world run now. Man, the NFL, the old

1564
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 2: golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules,

1565
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 2: and that's the way the NFL rules right now. What

1566
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 2: they do is what they do. Coming out top of

1567
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,080

1577
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 2: don't we spend so much time on Draymond? Because obviously

1578
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 2: it is a very top subject, all right. You could

1579
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 2: hear by the passion of the callers and the great

1580

Speaker 2: points by our crew. This is not something we we

1581
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:12,960
Speaker 2: sweep under the ruck. We cover everything Saturday night, you bet,

1582
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:14,920
Speaker 2: I'll be all over the Lions and Rams and the

1583
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 2: rest of the NFL playoffs, And in about fifteen minutes,

1584
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 2: I'll talk about the Saturday games. But we don't need

1585
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 2: to repeat subjects over and over. That subject had legs.

1586
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:30,600
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh was his national championship almost forty years in

1587
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 2: the making. Well, as you know, I worked in that

1588
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 2: market fourteen years, many of them in ann Arbor WTKA

1589
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 2: covered the Brady years, went on to CBS Radio ninety

1590
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,559
Speaker 2: seven to one, Lions pre and posed for almost a decade,

1591
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 2: saw it all. But my dear mother, who went to

1592
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 2: University of Michigan. I've been to following Michigan football all

1593
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 2: my life, and obviously it seems like a distant memory now,

1594
01:21:57,240 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 2: but you got to give them for flowers. You've heard

1595
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 2: me critical of Harball over the years, first five years.

1596
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 2: Couldn't beat Ohio State, couldn't beat a ranked team, And

1597
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 2: that's what he was hired to do when he came

1598
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 2: to Michigan. Harball was hired to beat Ohio State, go

1599
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 2: win the Big Ten, and go to the playoffs. And

1600
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:17,600
Speaker 2: he did it, and now they've won a championship. But

1601
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to answer my question, was the quest to

1602
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 2: bring a championship to Michigan did it start forty years ago?

1603
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 2: One of my favorite Jim Harball stories and he really

1604
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 2: tells it well. You know, when Jim Harball got to

1605
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 2: the University of Michigan, Bu sham Becker was there. Didn't

1606
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 2: play at all his freshman year, didn't really play at

1607
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 2: all as sophomore year, and the spring heading into his

1608
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 2: junior year, he was pondering what future he might have there.

1609
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 2: It wasn't going as planned. And as he was walking

1610
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 2: across campus, he saw bow Shambecker, they head coach at

1611
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 2: Michigan at the time, The legendary Bo Schambeckler in his

1612
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 2: peripheral vision, and he was hoping to avoid bull shamp Becker.

1613
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 2: He really didn't want to him. Sure enough, he sees

1614
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 2: in his peripheral vision that Bo Schambeckler makes a bee

1615
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:10,680
Speaker 2: line over to him, and he squares him up and

1616
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,679
Speaker 2: looks him up and down, and Bow puts his hands

1617
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 2: on Jim's shoulders. Oh, Jim, what are you going to class?

1618
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 2: Going to class, Jim, because he got coach, Yeah, coach,

1619
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 2: go to class, stares him up and down like a

1620
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 2: piece of meat. And what are you wearing now, Jim?

1621
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 2: About to twelve to ten to twelve? Yeah, coach working out? Yeah? Good, good, good, Jim. Jim,

1622
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 2: let me tell you something. Uh, you know, you may

1623
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 2: be the best recruit I've ever had at the University

1624
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 2: of Michigan in my nineteen years, or you might be

1625
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 2: the biggest mistake I ever made. And he turned his head,

1626
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 2: tucked his head down and walked away. Hardball went back

1627
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 2: to his dorm or whatever, lay down on his bed

1628
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 2: and what was that that Harball? He really got to him?

1629
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 2: And Harball's he said, it took up about a month

1630
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 2: to finally figure it out. I know what he meant,

1631
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 2: now it's up to me to be what I want

1632
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 2: to be here at the University of Michigan. And the

1633
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is part of being that was

1634
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 2: to develop the ability to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

1635
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 2: Harball went on to start his junie year and his

1636
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:36,679
Speaker 2: senior year Beatlehiose State and finished with a very good

1637
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 2: college career and of course was drafted. Played I believe,

1638
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 2: a good fifteen years in the National Football League, and

1639
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 2: Harball changed. He went back to practice in you know,

1640
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 2: in August as he got ready for the season, and

1641
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:55,560
Speaker 2: they were you know, he was in the middle of

1642
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:58,600
Speaker 2: summer two days. He was a red shirt sophomore. He

1643
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 2: was out to prove himself after not playing, not really

1644
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 2: playing the last two seasons. So he decided to take

1645
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 2: upon himself between between If you ever played high school

1646
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 2: for wall or two, you know, the two days are brutal.

1647
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 2: You can't wait to get the hell out of there

1648
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:17,679
Speaker 2: and go home and sleep or take a shower or something.

1649
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:20,000
Speaker 2: He's going to get out of there, not Harball. After

1650
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 2: the first session, he would go on an extra two

1651
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 2: mile run. And if you've ever been in a Michigan summer,

1652
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 2: it's eighty to ninety degrees and it's humid. Harball's going

1653
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 2: on an extra two mile run. And the workouts weren't

1654
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:34,480
Speaker 2: just about being in shape. They were really about realizing

1655
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 2: he had to get out of his comfort zone and

1656
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,479
Speaker 2: push himself. While the rest of the team was resting,

1657
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 2: he was gonna do more. And there's an old you know,

1658
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 2: there's an old philosophy called to twelve the extra degree.

1659
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 2: You know, two hundred and eleven degrees. Water's hot, scalding hot,

1660
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 2: and it can be very dangerous. But at two hundred

1661
01:25:56,439 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 2: and twelve degrees, just one degree more water boils, which

1662
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 2: can produce steam, which can power a locomotive. That was

1663
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 2: what Harball determined to be. Four decades later, the kid

1664
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:10,680
Speaker 2: who was once a redshirt sophomore, well, on Monday night,

1665
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 2: Jim Harball did coach the University of Michigan to their

1666
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 2: first national championship since nineteen ninety seven. And that was,

1667
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 2: of course a co national championship with Nebraska, and there

1668
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 2: were no playoffs back then. But they were undefeated be

1669
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:25,519
Speaker 2: Washington State in the Rose Bowl. Charles Woodson won the MVP.

1670
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,759
Speaker 2: That was a very good team coached by Lloyd Carr.

1671
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:32,640
Speaker 2: I covered that team, and if that team would have

1672
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 2: played this year's team, I don't know that team might

1673
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 2: have been him, But regardless, Michigan not only be Washington,

1674
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 2: they beat him by three touchdowns. But it's been a

1675
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:43,720
Speaker 2: really it's been a whorldwind journey for Jim Harbaugh. And

1676
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 2: this is a guy who's had a total of a

1677
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 2: dozen stops in his playing career, annow his coaching career.

1678
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 2: Coaching career started that San Diego, went to Stanford, went

1679
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 2: to the forty nine ers down Michigan, and through it all,

1680
01:26:56,680 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 2: I think there's one thing that Jim Harball has developed

1681
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 2: that he's been able to pass on those players, and

1682
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 2: that distinguishes him. You have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable,

1683
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 2: which is also a Bill Parcells axiom, who coached that

1684
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 2: very well. Harba wanted to say, quote, comfortable is not

1685
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:15,160
Speaker 2: a word I've ever associated with sports, or certainly football.

1686
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 2: It's a confusing word. And the truth of the matter

1687
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:22,639
Speaker 2: is there's a couple takeaways regarding Harbaugh's work ethic. We're

1688
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 2: all capable of giving a little more. He didn't have

1689
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 2: to go on those extra runs, he didn't have to

1690
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:29,600
Speaker 2: volunteer to play special teams at the beginning of his

1691
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 2: NFL career. He did that, but he made those decisions

1692
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 2: because he was determined to keep a mental edge and

1693
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 2: his mental conditioning Harball believes as important as his physical

1694
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 2: and I think that bore itself out this year. Michigan

1695
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 2: was in hot water. And people can be dismissive of

1696
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 2: whether or not those charges were a minor or Michigan

1697
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 2: was being picked down or singled out, but they were real.

1698
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 2: He was suspended six games, his team didn't miss a beat.

1699
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 2: The point is, if you want to be elite, not

1700
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 2: just in football, but in any industry, you don't get

1701
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 2: there by just following the pack. You gotta find that advantage.

1702
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 2: This is what Harball did. Secondly, the takeaway is that

1703
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 2: if you become uncomfortable with being comfortable, check that be

1704
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:18,759
Speaker 2: comfortable with being uncomfortable. What that discomfort does, It builds resolve. Right,

1705
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:24,599
Speaker 2: and truth of the matter is, Harball is the type

1706
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:30,920
Speaker 2: of guy where he has these odd, weird analogies. And

1707
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 2: he told Seth Davis, this one's a little weird, but

1708
01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 2: Harball's weird. He says, if you put your wrong if

1709
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,160
Speaker 2: you put your shoe on the wrong foot, if you

1710
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:41,679
Speaker 2: put your light right foot shoe on your left foot

1711
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:43,439
Speaker 2: and vice versas. I guess what, you and you run around,

1712
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:46,160
Speaker 2: You're gonna get blisters, and it's gonna start out. It's

1713
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 2: gonna hurt, it's gonna it's gonna it's gonna puff up.

1714
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 2: There's gonna be puff This is all Jim Harbaugh's words, right,

1715
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 2: and eventually it pops and cows is over. But guess what,

1716
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 2: the pot of repairs itself and it comes back tougher

1717
01:28:57,120 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 2: and stronger, and so metaphorically, Harball builds those callusies over

1718
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 2: the years. He looks to push himself and his team

1719
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:09,839
Speaker 2: past whatever threshold that they thought they had. Condition yourself

1720
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 2: in a way that you can sustain hardship, and that's

1721
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 2: what Michigan. They won by attrition. They weren't the prettiest

1722
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 2: team offensively, no one. They're not going to go down

1723
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 2: on history as one of the greatest offenses. Their defense

1724
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 2: was very assignment salm. They hit you. Back to Boshein Beckler,

1725
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:27,719
Speaker 2: it's all football is blocking and tackling and the rest

1726
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:32,760
Speaker 2: is details. And you know, Hardball believed when adversity hits

1727
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 2: he would attack it. And believe me, adversity hit that guy.

1728
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 2: There's no two ways about it. I remember three years

1729
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:40,559
Speaker 2: ago lose no Ohio State and the reporters were all

1730
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 2: over him and he's like, I'll we'll answer your questions,

1731
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 2: but I won't answer your insults. But nobody was insulting them.

1732
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 2: And when you watch what Michigan did basically the whole season,

1733
01:29:50,120 --> 01:29:55,800
Speaker 2: they bludgeon teams. There was nothing pretty about it. And

1734
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 2: they began the year with massive pressure. They had a

1735
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:00,840
Speaker 2: loaded roster, they have forty four seniors return to all

1736
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 2: you know, all their best players, and then he had

1737
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 2: he was suspended six games because of the suspensions. The

1738
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:11,120
Speaker 2: second batch came from the sign stealing scandal. That's where

1739
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 2: Harrorball starts to say he does. He says dumb things

1740
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 2: to Okay. After the game, they asked him about next year, goes,

1741
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 2: can a guy can a guy you know just enjoy this?

1742
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:24,320
Speaker 2: Why does it always have to be about what's next?

1743
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:27,400
Speaker 2: Because Jim Bow, you make it about what's next. You've

1744
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 2: been flirting with the NFL for years. You flew to

1745
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 2: Minnesota two years ago on a job you were never

1746
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:36,000
Speaker 2: gonna get. Last year, you zoom called with Denver for

1747
01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 2: two hours You've got one hundred and twenty five million

1748
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:42,679
Speaker 2: dollar contract extension on your desk that you haven't signed,

1749
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:46,559
Speaker 2: and it only faces a one year clause where you

1750
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 2: can't go back to the NFL. You've hired an agent,

1751
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:52,720
Speaker 2: don yee. I know, I just set up, but you

1752
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:58,719
Speaker 2: haven't signed that contract. And you're the one who raises

1753
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:01,599
Speaker 2: those questions because at any time you could have said

1754
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 2: I'm here for life, I'm gonna sign that contract, let's

1755
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:08,879
Speaker 2: get this done. But you didn't. That's why you invite

1756
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 2: those things now. I'm making no mistake, Jim Harball. People

1757
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,800
Speaker 2: do not realize this, and it's been completely underreported. He

1758
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 2: dearly wants to win a Super Bowl. He lost to

1759
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:24,800
Speaker 2: his brother John Ravens forty nine ers eleven years ago.

1760
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:26,680
Speaker 2: I don't think he ever got over that, and he's

1761
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 2: always wanted to win a Super Bowl. In a later moment,

1762
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,720
Speaker 2: I think he thinks college football take this with a

1763
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:34,879
Speaker 2: grand AsSalt small potatoes compared to the NFL and winning

1764
01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:40,240
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. So I've given it a seventy percent

1765
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 2: chance he'll be back in the NFL. But here's the kicker.

1766
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:45,439
Speaker 2: He's gonna want control and he's gonna want a lot

1767
01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:48,599
Speaker 2: of money. That's what Don Yee does. He's agent. Don

1768
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:53,360
Speaker 2: Yee negotiated Sean Payton's contract last year in Denver, and

1769
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:56,160
Speaker 2: he's a Tom Brady guy. Now, I believe Mark Davis

1770
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 2: here for the Raiders, He's gonna take one more big swing.

1771
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 2: I think he should just give Antonio Peers the job,

1772
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 2: because I do. I absolutely believe there'll be a mutiny

1773
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:07,920
Speaker 2: in the locker room if Antonio Pears isn't brought back.

1774
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 2: And I say that because I watched this team the

1775
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:13,720
Speaker 2: last seven weeks. Man, they play for that guy. And

1776
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:15,720
Speaker 2: believe me, the years I covered the Lions, I saw

1777
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:19,559
Speaker 2: coaches come and go, Wayne Fonce, Bobby Ross, Gary Moehler,

1778
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:24,599
Speaker 2: Marty MORNINGWG Dick Giron, Rod Marinelli, Steve Mariucci. And there

1779
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 2: were a couple of interim coaches in there, Jiron and

1780
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 2: Gary Mohler. And look, they play hard for a couple

1781
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:33,640
Speaker 2: of weeks and there's kind of a change and then

1782
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 2: it kind of reverts back. That didn't happen with Antonio Peers.

1783
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 2: They played their tailoff. That final game against Denver felt

1784
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:44,559
Speaker 2: like a playoff game. But Davis is gonna make a run.

1785
01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:48,080
Speaker 2: I believe at Jim Harball. I believe the Chargers they'll

1786
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 2: at least be a conversation, and I believe that would

1787
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 2: be I'm certain that would be Jim Harbaugh's first choice

1788
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:55,600
Speaker 2: because he's got a man crushed on Justin Herbert and

1789
01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 2: for good reason. Do I think it'll be the Bears. No,

1790
01:32:58,600 --> 01:32:59,960
Speaker 2: First of all, they're not going to fire you before.

1791
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 2: But even if they would have, I know that the

1792
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:05,760
Speaker 2: Bears weren't going to reach out to Harball because their

1793
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:09,560
Speaker 2: president is Kevin Warren, who's the former commissioner of the

1794
01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:11,040
Speaker 2: Big Ten. I don't think him and Harball will get

1795
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:13,920
Speaker 2: along real well. Caroline has already said they're not interested.

1796
01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm not sure about the Commanders, not sure about the

1797
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons. I think they may talk to Belichick. So

1798
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 2: it's a somewhat narrow window. But I think Harball wants

1799
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:27,880
Speaker 2: it to happen. But this isn't so easy because he's

1800
01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:31,320
Speaker 2: going to negotiate pretty hard terms. But the long and

1801
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 2: the short of it is, you know the Wolverines, they

1802
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 2: went fifteen to zero when they blew out Washington thirty

1803
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 2: four to thirteen Monday night. It was fairly ugly at times,

1804
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:45,160
Speaker 2: but it was pretty clear the first ten minutes that

1805
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:49,559
Speaker 2: Michigan was winning the line of scrimmage and they ran

1806
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:53,120
Speaker 2: the damn ball for three hundred yards. They pressured Michael Pennicks.

1807
01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:57,200
Speaker 2: Pennis looked like a shadow of the guy who'd looked

1808
01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 2: sensational all year. Enough, the two teams Harball beat, their

1809
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,960
Speaker 2: coaches are both gone. I mean there's no story there,

1810
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 2: there's no angle there, right, but there you have it.

1811
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 2: I think Jim Harball is a complex person and you

1812
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:14,960
Speaker 2: have to be able to if you have to be

1813
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 2: objective about these things, whether a Harball fan or not.

1814
01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 2: He got it done and he'll have success in the NFL. Now,

1815
01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:23,000
Speaker 2: he's a bit of a crazy maker. He might wear

1816
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 2: out as welcome, but let's see where this goes. This

1817
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:26,680
Speaker 2: is a fun story to watch. And Jim, if you

1818

Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy live from the

Speaker 2: Tiret dot Com studios here in a Las Vegas.

1840
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 8: All right.

1841
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:46,760
Speaker 2: We're just hours away to actually just a little over

1842
01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:50,720
Speaker 2: twelve hours from now with the Browns and Texans, two

1843
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:53,719
Speaker 2: teams that have never been to the Super Bowl. Only

1844
01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:55,439
Speaker 2: four teams in the NFL history. You've never been to

1845
01:35:55,439 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, Brown's Texans Jacksonville, who's not in the tournament.

1846
01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 2: And I belove Detroit Lions, who play Sunday night against

1847
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:07,640
Speaker 2: the Rams. And we will, trust me, we'll have be

1848
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 2: heavily into the NFL on the Saturday Night Show, Bernie Frattle.

1849
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:18,200
Speaker 2: This game's interesting because Lebrons start Joe Flacco, who's the

1850
01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:22,080
Speaker 2: story in and of itself. And believe it or not, again,

1851
01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 2: this is not his barbecue. This is actually Joe Flacco's

1852
01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:30,639
Speaker 2: sixteenth NFL career start as quarterback in a playoff. He's

1853
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:33,840
Speaker 2: eleven and four against the spread, and of course he'll

1854
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 2: teed up against CJ. Stroud, who has been nothing short

1855
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 2: of sensational this year. And you heard me say earlier

1856
01:36:39,920 --> 01:36:42,360
Speaker 2: the newbies, there's four of them this year, newbe quarterbacks

1857
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:46,960
Speaker 2: twenty one and thirty eight against the spread in there

1858
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:51,760
Speaker 2: in their you know, debut as it were, in the playoffs.

1859
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:54,879
Speaker 2: But this could be a coming out party for CJ. Stroud.

1860
01:36:54,880 --> 01:36:57,640
Speaker 2: Most football fans should be aware of by now that

1861
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 2: Stroud is not just a rookie quarterback. He's moving into

1862
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 2: the upper tier period of NFL quarterbacks. Look at the

1863
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:08,920
Speaker 2: way he plays the game. He's so incredibly accurate, so

1864
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:13,280
Speaker 2: incredibly confident, gets the ball out of his hand, just sensational,

1865
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:17,040
Speaker 2: and through all of it has great what I call

1866
01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:20,719
Speaker 2: huddle presence. And if he ends a big game against

1867
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns Saturday, who by all metrics are a

1868
01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 2: very stout defense, that's all of a sudden going to

1869
01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 2: make even the most casual sports fan realize this guy

1870
01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:33,639
Speaker 2: isn't just a good rookie quarterback and leading his team

1871
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:36,879
Speaker 2: to the playoffs. He's absolutely special, which he is special,

1872
01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 2: but when you do it in the playoffs, you know,

1873
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:43,120
Speaker 2: I've often said the third downs, the money down, they

1874
01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 2: don't pay it a punt, the red zones, the money zone,

1875
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,120
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. CJS draft can do all that, but the

1876
01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:52,120
Speaker 2: playoffs trump everything. There's game speed and then there's playoff speed.

1877
01:37:52,200 --> 01:37:55,200
Speaker 2: It won't be easy. The Cleveland grounds biggest strength is

1878
01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 2: their defense, especially their past defense. They've allowed fewer yards

1879
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:01,959
Speaker 2: through the air that any team in the National Football League,

1880
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:03,599
Speaker 2: and a lot of that is due to the fact

1881
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 2: that they're front seven led by Miles Garrett pressure. They

1882
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 2: had a lot of quarterbacks. They may not get you

1883
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:10,559
Speaker 2: every time, they may not hit you every time, but

1884
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,720
Speaker 2: they're there they'll scare you. So it will be up

1885
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:17,200
Speaker 2: to c J. Stroud, which he already has proven he

1886
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 2: can do, to get rid of the ball quickly and

1887
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:24,720
Speaker 2: not let guys like Miles Garrett disrupt his game. A

1888
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:26,840
Speaker 2: couple of other things to watch for in this game.

1889
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:30,120
Speaker 2: The last time these two teams played, Cleveland's wide receiver

1890
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper he had a team record two hundred and

1891
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:39,120
Speaker 2: sixty five yards against the Texans thirty six to twenty

1892
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:43,879
Speaker 2: two win. But here's the big butt pewee. The Texans

1893
01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 2: didn't have their starting quarterback that day. Ce J. Stroud

1894
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:50,599
Speaker 2: was in concussion. Concussion protocol. He's for me to say

1895
01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 2: case Keenum. He stepped in that day through two picks.

1896
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 2: But right now the Texans are a team just teaming

1897
01:38:57,600 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 2: with confidence. They believe they can be in anybody when

1898
01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 2: they have CJ. Stroud. So I expect this to be

1899
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:08,360
Speaker 2: a much different matchup uh later today on Saturday, And

1900
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:13,680
Speaker 2: of course the game is being played in Houston right.

1901
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 2: One other thing, these are two very heavily penalized teams,

1902
01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:21,280
Speaker 2: so they're going to have to really straighten up at

1903
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:25,639
Speaker 2: Flywright with respect to you don't want to give teams penalties.

1904
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 2: It's like giving him free yards in the end, I

1905
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:34,200
Speaker 2: honestly feel I'm sniffing. I'm sniffing a Texans upset. We'll

1906
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:36,840
Speaker 2: see Cleveland's a two point favorite, two two and a

1907
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 2: half point favorite, of course, in the later game, which

1908
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:44,640
Speaker 2: you will see if you have peacock, if you don't Poppycock.

1909
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:47,880
Speaker 2: I guess Patrick Mahomes nine to five against the spread.

1910
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:52,559
Speaker 2: Also also his fifteenth start in the National Football League

1911
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:55,760
Speaker 2: in the playoffs two of making his debut. Word has

1912
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 2: it it's going to be cold, bring a jacket. Well,

1913
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:02,639
Speaker 2: it'll be fascinating to see. By the way, Just as

1914
01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:06,839
Speaker 2: a side note, how you know, after the game was played,

1915
01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:10,320
Speaker 2: people respond to this decision made by NBC in the

1916
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:13,639
Speaker 2: NFL to make the game only exclusive on streaming. How's

1917
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:15,360
Speaker 2: that going to go over the fans. I'm guessing it's

1918
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 2: not going to go over well, but we'll see. But

1919
01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:19,640
Speaker 2: it's the way the world now. From an on field perspective,

1920
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:21,799
Speaker 2: I think this is a great clash of two teams

1921
01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:26,920
Speaker 2: with really good potential but have pretty serious problems. Truthfully,

1922
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:29,599
Speaker 2: the Dolphins have won just one game against a team

1923
01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:32,040
Speaker 2: of the winning record this season. To beat the Cowboys

1924
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:34,760
Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve, and frankly, they fell flat in their

1925
01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:36,559
Speaker 2: last two games of the regular season. Of course, it

1926
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:40,320
Speaker 2: was against Baltimore and Buffalo, but their offense, which was

1927
01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:42,799
Speaker 2: on fire at the start of the season, is clearly

1928
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:47,760
Speaker 2: in a lull, and that's a bigger problem. But it

1929
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 2: might not be as big a problem because the Chiefs

1930
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:53,200
Speaker 2: offense is also a hot mess. But the Chiefs defense

1931
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:57,479
Speaker 2: is pretty good. So whoever loses this game, it'll be really,

1932
01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:02,160
Speaker 2: perhaps not surprising result to what would end up being

1933
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:04,559
Speaker 2: a disappointing season, especially if the Chiefs lose at home.

1934
01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:08,680
Speaker 2: Whoever wins, well, I gotta tell you you can't count

1935
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 2: whoever wins this game. You can't count out either team

1936
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:14,760
Speaker 2: as potentially being a super Bowl Bowl contender. But I

1937
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 2: don't know that I would bank on it if Kansas

1938
01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:19,320
Speaker 2: City's a four and a half point favorite the Chiefs

1939
01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:22,599
Speaker 2: during Week nine. They've already played the Dolphins. They defended

1940
01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:25,599
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill about as well as you can, but doing

1941
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 2: it a second time will be a challenge. The question

1942
01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:30,879
Speaker 2: is the question is how much will the really freezing,

1943
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:35,080
Speaker 2: freezing cold temperatures slow down both offenses and now will

1944
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 2: the Chiefs slow down hill. They're gonna have to get

1945
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 2: some two deep coverage variations. They played zone last time. Anyway,

1946
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:48,200
Speaker 2: it's always more difficult than you know is described. Would

1947
01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:51,080
Speaker 2: it surprised me if the Dolphins strolled in there and won.

1948
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 2: It would because of the weather. But I gotta tell

1949
01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 2: you this Chiefs team is not like the Chiefs teams

1950
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:01,559
Speaker 2: in the past. Well again, I think this is going

1951
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:04,479
Speaker 2: to be a tough, close, hard fog game. Remember the Chiefs.

1952
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:07,519
Speaker 2: The Dolphins went into Buffalo last year with a four

1953
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:10,280
Speaker 2: string quarterback or you know, you get my point, and

1954
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:12,240
Speaker 2: they played him tough. It's the playoffs, man, it's the

1955
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 2: National Football League. You take nothing for granted. Coming up,

1956
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:19,120
Speaker 2: we have Christophett's World of Soccer. But first let's go

1957
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:22,360
Speaker 2: back to our guy, Kevin Figures once again with the latest.

1958
01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:24,000
Speaker 10: All right, Bernie, and we had a full slate of

1959
01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:26,680
Speaker 10: games in the NBA. Friday Night kept off by the

1960
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 10: defending champion Nuggets beating New Orleans won twenty five to

1961
01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:33,480
Speaker 10: one thirteen. Another triple double there for nicolea Jokic Minnesota

1962
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 10: a victory over Portland. The final there one sixteen to

1963
01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:39,320
Speaker 10: ninety three. Rudy Gobert twenty four points and seventeen rebounds.

1964
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:42,200
Speaker 10: Steph Curry scoring fifteen of his twenty seven points in

1965
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:45,280
Speaker 10: the fourth quarter as the Warriors noache comback victory over

1966
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:48,639
Speaker 10: the Bulls one forty to one thirty one, Utah dominating

1967
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:51,680
Speaker 10: Toronto one forty five to one thirteen. Clippers have won

1968
01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:54,040
Speaker 10: eight of their last nine. They beat Memphis one twenty

1969
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:57,599
Speaker 10: eight to one nineteen. You also had wins for Indiana, Miami,

1970
01:42:57,680 --> 01:43:00,759
Speaker 10: and Philadelphia. In NFL news, the Bills be without receiver

1971
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 10: Gabe Davis for Sunday's Wildcard game against Pittsburgh as he's

1972
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:06,880
Speaker 10: been nursing a knee injury. Lions tityan sam Laporta questionable

1973
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:09,160
Speaker 10: to play against the Rams on Sunday with a knee

1974
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,920
Speaker 10: injury as well, and the Commanders hired forty nine Ers

1975
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:15,760
Speaker 10: assistant GM Adam Peters as their new general manager, back

1976
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:16,439
Speaker 10: to Bernie Friddle.

1977
01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:20,479
Speaker 2: All Right, Kevin, appreciate you, buddy, good stuff, and I

1978
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:23,479
Speaker 2: think you'd be back with a Saturday night, right, Kevin, yep,

1979
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:26,880
Speaker 2: I will be a good deal, Bud. Of course, you'll

01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:28,680
Speaker 2: be able to participate in brand new full of what

1981
01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 2: my name? And that'll be fun. All right? This week

1982
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:34,240
Speaker 2: every time we cover everything here in the Bernie Fraddle Show.

1983
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 2: Won't be long and we'll be in Paris for the

1984
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:41,839
Speaker 2: World Cup soccer. Not the World Cup soccer, the Olympic soccer.

1985
01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:44,200
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, whether it's on the field or

1986
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:46,000
Speaker 2: off the field twenty four to seven or on the globe,

1987
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:48,960
Speaker 2: there's always news. That's why we bring you Chrispophfetts World

1988
01:43:49,000 --> 01:44:01,520
Speaker 2: of Soccer, the Greatest schools, the thrilling finishes, international drum.

1989
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:03,640
Speaker 8: M.

1990
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:10,000
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the world of soccer.

1991
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:12,599
Speaker 19: We hope everyone out there is able to stay warm

1992
01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:14,960
Speaker 19: and here in the world of soccer, the cold never

1993
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,200
Speaker 19: really stops much of anything. We are now at the

1994
01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 19: point in the Premier League season where there have been

1995
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:24,760
Speaker 19: more games played than there are remaining, which means it

1996
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 19: starts to get really tight as the picture is developed,

1997
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:31,080
Speaker 19: with Liverpool and aston Villa clawing and scraping and fighting

1998
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 19: at one and two in the Premier League table, Manchester

1999
01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 19: City and Arsenal not far behind. Although Manchester City will

2000
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 19: have to be without their young phenom Earling Holland for

2001
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 19: the rest of January, was confirmed by the team that

2002
01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:46,719
Speaker 19: he will probably be out after the game at Newcastle

2003
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:48,759
Speaker 19: where he suffered a foot injury.

2004
01:44:49,240 --> 01:44:50,120
Speaker 6: But for me in.

2005
01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:53,799
Speaker 19: January, this is the time of the Clausura, the second

2006
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:59,839
Speaker 19: half of Liga MX, Mexico's top professional league of club soccer,

2007
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:04,280
Speaker 19: taking on a whole new set of points, a whole

2008
01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:08,519
Speaker 19: new table, and time to try to crown another champion

2009
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,960
Speaker 19: as the second half of Mexican soccer kicks off and

2010
01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 19: you know, the title favorites once again, Club America inaction.

2011
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:19,879
Speaker 19: Hard to bet against them, but we could see Monterey

2012
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:23,759
Speaker 19: Artigrez be the ones to really crash that party, maybe

2013
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,680
Speaker 19: even chiev Us. And funny enough, if you notice the

2014
01:45:26,840 --> 01:45:30,920
Speaker 19: Chievus Guadalajara out there in the Klausura here in twenty

2015
01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:34,799
Speaker 19: twenty four, you may notice that a number currently is missing.

2016
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 2: Fourteen.

2017
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:39,040
Speaker 19: Now that number might not mean much to you if

2018
01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 19: you're unfamiliar with the importance of that number to Guadalajara,

2019
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:45,519
Speaker 19: and that's why we will explain, because that is the

2020
01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:51,120
Speaker 19: number worn by Chicaito Javier Hernandez, the phenom, the man

2021
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 19: who has scored the most goals out of anyone for

2022
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:58,640
Speaker 19: the nation of Mexico, a star across multiple continents, but

2023
01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:02,280
Speaker 19: none more so here in North America, where his adoring

2024
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:05,200
Speaker 19: fans may lie. And at thirty five years old, an

2025
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:08,960
Speaker 19: ACL injury has led him to leave this club of

2026
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 19: Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS, and reports are out

2027
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:16,040
Speaker 19: there that he has said yes to a reunion to

2028
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 19: return to Shivas, to the club where it all began

2029
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 19: before his European departures, where he showed himself to be

2030
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:28,559
Speaker 19: the phenomenal player, the man who can make all the

2031
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 19: magic happen. Now, Chievas have been able to get this

2032
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:34,519
Speaker 19: thing together. Just yet, they have to figure out some

2033
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:38,720
Speaker 19: stuff with their payroll, their finances. They probably have to

2034
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:41,000
Speaker 19: make some room on their payroll by getting rid of

2035
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:43,920
Speaker 19: a few players here. They're trying to figure that out

2036
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:48,639
Speaker 19: here as the January transfer window is open. But rest assured,

2037
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:52,799
Speaker 19: Chiitarto is coming home one last time and his number,

2038
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 19: the famous number fourteen, is waiting for him when he

2039
01:46:56,600 --> 01:47:00,680
Speaker 19: gets there. And while we still are in North America.

2040
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,840
Speaker 19: Here in Major League Soccer in the United States, a

2041
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:08,679
Speaker 19: stumbling block has presented itself as MLS prepares in about

2042
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,479
Speaker 19: a month or two to get back on the pitch,

2043
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:16,000
Speaker 19: and it comes in the form of labor negotiations. As

2044
01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:20,599
Speaker 19: MLS might be seeing a work stoppage in the future,

2045
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:24,439
Speaker 19: not with its players, but with its officials. Yes, a

2046
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:27,759
Speaker 19: season that MLS is banked on to be the full

2047
01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:31,040
Speaker 19: Leonel Messi season, the one where they really push into

2048
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:34,599
Speaker 19: Miami and hope they can see them win titles and

2049
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:38,479
Speaker 19: compete and bring more and more stars and more and

2050
01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 19: more eyeballs to MLS could be delayed.

2051
01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:43,920
Speaker 6: Came out this past week.

2052
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:47,240
Speaker 19: That negotiations over a new bargaining agreement here between the

2053
01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:52,720
Speaker 19: Professional Referees Organization and the Professional Soccer's Soccer Referees Association

2054
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:55,880
Speaker 19: has not resulted in a new deal, and it means

2055
01:47:56,040 --> 01:48:01,040
Speaker 19: if by January fifteenth this isn't resolved at there will

2056
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:05,000
Speaker 19: probably be a work stoppage. Now. This probably will result

2057
01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:08,519
Speaker 19: in something like MLS having to import referees from across

2058
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:12,200
Speaker 19: the pond or from other associations, just certainly not here

2059
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:16,639
Speaker 19: in America. That will have an impact on the level

2060
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 19: of play out there, and it could push back certain games.

2061
01:48:20,360 --> 01:48:22,639
Speaker 19: With the MLS season set to start here on February

2062
01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 19: twenty first, between Inter Miami and.

2063
01:48:24,840 --> 01:48:25,840
Speaker 6: Real Salt Lake.

2064
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 19: It is a problem and it's one that is going

2065
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 19: to tick down very close to the deadline here It's

2066
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:37,360
Speaker 19: a thorny issue here as PRSA, which represents the referees

2067
01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 19: for MLS and the other flights of the US Federation's

2068
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 19: club levels and Pro which is liied with Major League Soccer.

2069
01:48:47,640 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 19: Should there be a lockout that we anticipate with the officials, well,

2070
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:54,599
Speaker 19: things have gone sour the last few times these two

2071
01:48:54,640 --> 01:48:57,679
Speaker 19: have come to the table twenty fourteen and twenty nineteen,

2072
01:48:58,280 --> 01:49:03,880
Speaker 19: there were plenty of issues. The PSRA authorized and voted

2073
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:07,559
Speaker 19: for a strike in twenty nineteen and in fourteen they

2074
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:11,040
Speaker 19: were locked out and negotiations resolved in about two to

2075
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 19: three weeks. Suffice to say, not looking promising, and we

2076
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:18,559
Speaker 19: could see replacement referees here when MLS tries to kick

2077
01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:21,680
Speaker 19: off at the end of February. But now, Bernie, we

2078
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:24,320
Speaker 19: turn our attention to the favorite thing of the week.

2079
01:49:24,640 --> 01:49:27,200
Speaker 19: I will be watching and there is plenty of Premier

2080
01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:30,800
Speaker 19: League action, but who can really miss this here on

2081
01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:37,040
Speaker 19: Sunday we have at two pm Eastern time eleven am

2082
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:43,479
Speaker 19: Pacific L Classico, Better yet L Classico with stakes. We

2083
01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:49,520
Speaker 19: are having Real Madrid taking on Barcelona for the Spanish Supercopa.

2084
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:52,000
Speaker 19: Now it's not the Copa del Rey that's the bigger

2085
01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:57,280
Speaker 19: of the country's trophies, but Supercopa has been in place

2086
01:49:57,400 --> 01:49:59,280
Speaker 19: in a tournament that they've been playing since the start

2087
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:02,320
Speaker 19: of the season. Barcelona, of course, came into this in

2088
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:06,240
Speaker 19: a thriller over Osasuna in the semi finals here second

2089
01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:10,120
Speaker 19: half goals in there from Robert Lewandowski in Laminia mal

2090
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:15,040
Speaker 19: and Barcelona's manager Zavi is insisting Barka can quote dominate

2091
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:17,920
Speaker 19: Real Madrid. This is the first time the two sides

2092
01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 19: have meeting since October twenty twenty three, where Jude Bellingham

2093
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:26,320
Speaker 19: scored a brace sealing away a two to one win

2094
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:30,839
Speaker 19: for Madrid, and right now Barcelona does trail Real Madrid

2095
01:50:31,240 --> 01:50:34,719
Speaker 19: in the Laaliga table by a few points. This game

2096
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:38,760
Speaker 19: will be played in Riad, Saudi Arabia at a La

2097
01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:43,120
Speaker 19: Wall Park at King Saud University. Most of the later

2098
01:50:43,160 --> 01:50:46,440
Speaker 19: stages of the Super Copa have been in Saudi Arabia.

2099
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:50,200
Speaker 19: Once again, the stamp of the saudis upon this sport

2100
01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:52,519
Speaker 19: being seen thorough and thorough.

2101
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:53,559
Speaker 6: We also have the.

2102
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:57,920
Speaker 19: Africa Cup of Nations kicking off here on Sunday as well,

2103
01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:01,360
Speaker 19: should be exciting to see. I've always enjoyed some good

2104
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:07,559
Speaker 19: African soccer, especially from Egypt and the big Man Mohammed Salah,

2105
01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:10,760
Speaker 19: just an electric electric player plays for Liverpool on the

2106
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:13,400
Speaker 19: club side and will be away from his club here

2107
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:17,840
Speaker 19: to represent his country. It's a fantastic time as always, Birnie.

2108
01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:20,000
Speaker 19: We'll see you next time on the World of Soccer.

2109
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 2: So there you have it, Chris laid it out. Plenty

2110
01:51:24,479 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 2: of activities as these international teams start to get back

2111
01:51:28,360 --> 01:51:30,599
Speaker 2: on the field and you hear some of the same

2112
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:34,479
Speaker 2: names of the players that grace the headlines over and

2113
01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:39,040
Speaker 2: over and again, whether it's the World Cup Women's or

2114
01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 2: men's or even the Olympics which is not far off,

2115
01:51:42,240 --> 01:51:45,479
Speaker 2: less than six months away now in Paris. There's always

2116
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:49,880

Speaker 2: I have to talk about there. Dan Leech, I pro

2153
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:02,840
Speaker 2: must he predicted Michigan would win last week. Dan Leach

2154
01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:06,479
Speaker 2: my guy from Detroit, former compatriot on ninety seven to one.

2155
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 2: He'll join at four am Eastern, twelve hours before the

2156
01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:15,720
Speaker 2: kickoff between the Lions and Rams, which is carrying storylines

2157
01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:18,960
Speaker 2: of its own, So absolutely jam pack plus brand new

2158
01:54:19,080 --> 01:54:21,880
Speaker 2: editions of Brand New Fool and What My Name? And

2159
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:24,519
Speaker 2: by the way, if your favorite team is not moving

2160
01:54:24,560 --> 01:54:29,400
Speaker 2: fast enough to interview, so to speak with the NFL

2161
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:33,080
Speaker 2: coach you want, or you're wondering what's happening and how

2162
01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:35,760
Speaker 2: everybody so, well, that's quiet out there, you know, no,

2163
01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:40,520
Speaker 2: it's not you gotta understand there are NFL interview procedures

2164
01:54:40,560 --> 01:54:44,720
Speaker 2: and processes that are in place, and there's a series

2165
01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:46,480
Speaker 2: of rules for head coach interviews, and I'm going to

2166
01:54:46,560 --> 01:54:50,040
Speaker 2: share all of those with you on Saturday night, because

2167
01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:53,240
Speaker 2: the NFL has a series of rules for head coach interviews,

2168
01:54:53,280 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 2: and there are interview requirements coaches of teams that are

2169
01:54:57,040 --> 01:54:59,360
Speaker 2: still in the postseason, and I'm gonna lay it all

2170
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:00,800
Speaker 2: out for you because because I hear a lot of

2171
01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:05,480
Speaker 2: misinformation frankly on the radio, it's not quiet. Just because

2172
01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:08,280
Speaker 2: Harball wasn't hired the next day by somebody doesn't mean

2173
01:55:08,320 --> 01:55:10,720
Speaker 2: it's not going to happen. So the Jared Mayle thing

2174
01:55:10,840 --> 01:55:12,760
Speaker 2: was set. I think he's going to do well. So

2175
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:15,160
Speaker 2: we'll leave it at that jam Pack show for you

2176
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:18,680
Speaker 2: on Saturday night, eleven pm. All Right, mark your calendars,

2177
01:55:19,560 --> 01:55:24,640
Speaker 2: market calendars starting in January, well, no, starting in December

2178
01:55:24,680 --> 01:55:27,880
Speaker 2: of this year, and as you head into January twenty

2179
01:55:27,880 --> 01:55:31,640
Speaker 2: five and twenty twenty six, there, I believe is something

2180
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:35,200
Speaker 2: you're going to absolutely love. I am convinced of it.

2181
01:55:36,440 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 2: The twelve team college football playoff schedule is out and

2182
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:41,280
Speaker 2: it's going to be spectacular. Now we don't know who

2183
01:55:41,320 --> 01:55:44,840
Speaker 2: the teams are, obviously, but if you enjoy watching football,

2184
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:48,440
Speaker 2: and based on the soaring ratings for both the NFL

2185
01:55:48,520 --> 01:55:52,560
Speaker 2: and NCAA, obviously you do. And you know that the

2186
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:55,880
Speaker 2: playoff is expanding for twenty twenty four, which will carry

2187
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:59,760
Speaker 2: into twenty twenty five. And I bet you there's some

2188
01:55:59,880 --> 01:56:00,520
Speaker 2: things you don't know.

2189
01:56:00,560 --> 01:56:00,640
Speaker 8: Now.

2190
01:56:00,800 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 2: Again, there's twelve teams with four rounds of competition, and

2191
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:08,200
Speaker 2: there are obviously some already pre existing scheduling challenges, so

2192
01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:10,640
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to spread the playoff out. It's gonna

2193
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 2: last a full month. It's gonna start the first round.

2194
01:56:15,240 --> 01:56:22,000
Speaker 2: Games will be played on campus sites starting Friday, December twentieth,

2195
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 2: there'll be one game, and then on Saturday, December twenty first,

2196
01:56:26,400 --> 01:56:29,520
Speaker 2: there'll be a college playoff triple header. Now I get it,

2197
01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:33,080
Speaker 2: that's gonna clash with some regular season NFL games that

2198
01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:37,000
Speaker 2: are played that Saturday. You can't climb two mountains at once,

2199
01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:39,000
Speaker 2: But I bet you go to you favorite establishment. There's

2200
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:42,360
Speaker 2: more than one TV. You get the picture. Maybe neither

2201
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:45,640
Speaker 2: side gets their top ratings are getting, but you give

2202
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:47,960
Speaker 2: a little to get a little. You get where I'm going. Anyway,

2203
01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:50,560
Speaker 2: You slice it for the fans. This has become a

2204
01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 2: slice of football heaven, and it's always good to have options, right,

2205
01:56:54,480 --> 01:56:57,120
Speaker 2: But then the college quarterfinal round will then proceed with

2206
01:56:57,280 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 2: one game on New Year's Eve beyond New Year's Day.

2207
01:57:01,880 --> 01:57:05,120
Speaker 2: This is again in January twenty twenty five. Then the

2208
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:08,280
Speaker 2: semi finals will be on a Thursday and Friday, right

2209
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:12,600
Speaker 2: before wild card weekend in the National Football League. Now

2210
01:57:12,640 --> 01:57:15,720
Speaker 2: I realize this isn't one hundred percent ideal, but this

2211
01:57:15,760 --> 01:57:19,080
Speaker 2: is a reality. At college football. They waited, you know,

2212
01:57:19,120 --> 01:57:23,320
Speaker 2: they wasted so many years fighting the inevitable expansion of

2213
01:57:23,320 --> 01:57:26,400
Speaker 2: the playoff. Nobody likes it. Just at Florida State get

2214
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:29,160
Speaker 2: five teams and four entrants. How good is that? No good?

2215
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:32,520
Speaker 2: You know, Usually maybe you could argue they ended up

2216
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:35,840
Speaker 2: with the proper champion. But the truth of the matter

2217
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,760
Speaker 2: is we're gonna look back in three years and announce, say,

2218
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:40,640
Speaker 2: why do we do this sooner? Okay, Then I get

2219
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:44,080
Speaker 2: there's some negatives because if you have the semi finals

2220
01:57:44,080 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 2: in college football playoffs played on weeknights at neutral sites,

2221
01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:50,720
Speaker 2: well that might be a little tough for fan travel,

2222
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:53,440
Speaker 2: maybe a little tougher attendance. But these are going to

2223
01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:55,320
Speaker 2: be games of great magnitude because when you get to

2224
01:57:55,320 --> 01:57:58,880
Speaker 2: a semi final finishing late on a school night or

2225
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:01,800
Speaker 2: work night on a Thursday, well that may have been problematically.

2226
01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 2: Hey that's the world we're en now. Man. That said,

2227
01:58:05,280 --> 01:58:08,120
Speaker 2: the semi finals before wildcard weekend rather than head to

2228
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:11,000
Speaker 2: head or on Monday, that'll do wonders for the build

2229
01:58:11,080 --> 01:58:13,960
Speaker 2: up of these games. Seriously, and the betting handle will

2230
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:16,880
Speaker 2: be off the chart. Because the college playoff games this

2231
01:58:16,960 --> 01:58:19,440
Speaker 2: year average well over twenty million viewers in the NFL

2232
01:58:19,440 --> 01:58:23,600
Speaker 2: Wildcard weekend, we're expecting to get almost thirty million viewers

2233
01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:27,040
Speaker 2: this weekend. But here comes the football came I was

2234
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:29,400
Speaker 2: telling you about. And by the way, let me jump ahead.

2235
01:58:30,320 --> 01:58:33,560
Speaker 2: The title game next year will be played on Martin

2236
01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:36,760
Speaker 2: Luther King Day, which is January twentieth. So the playoffs

2237
01:58:36,760 --> 01:58:39,400
Speaker 2: are going to start on December twentieth. They're going to

2238
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:43,200
Speaker 2: go all the way through to January twentieth. That has

2239
01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:46,680
Speaker 2: typically been a time on the sports calendar that the

2240
01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:51,960
Speaker 2: NFL has owned. But here's where the football coma starts.

2241
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:56,000
Speaker 2: Markley Calendar, Thursday, January ninth, you have a college semi

2242
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:59,480
Speaker 2: final game Friday, January tenth, you have a college semi

2243
01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:03,640
Speaker 2: final game. Then on Saturday, January eleventh. Next year, twenty

2244
01:59:03,680 --> 01:59:08,280
Speaker 2: twenty five, you'll have two NFL playoff games. Sunday, January

2245
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:10,760
Speaker 2: twelf you have three NFL playoff games, same as this

2246
01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:15,120
Speaker 2: your Super wild Card weekend Monday, January thirteenth, one NFL

2247
01:59:15,160 --> 01:59:19,640
Speaker 2: playoff games. That's five consecutive days or nights of do

2248
01:59:19,840 --> 01:59:24,360
Speaker 2: or die playoff action featuring eight games on two levels

2249
01:59:24,360 --> 01:59:26,840
Speaker 2: of the sport. That's not just a lot of football.

2250
01:59:27,080 --> 01:59:31,560
Speaker 2: That's high stakes, high intensity, high drama football. If you

2251
01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:34,680
Speaker 2: don't love that, you don't love apple pie or home cooking, Yeah,

2252
01:59:34,840 --> 01:59:36,760
Speaker 2: it'll be here. The future always has a way of

2253
01:59:36,880 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 2: arriving ahead of schedule, and you're gonna love every minute

2254
01:59:39,520 --> 01:59:42,680
Speaker 2: of it. You know you will. In the meantime, joy
