We'll 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: have that for you. Coming up. Jim Jackson covering the 10 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: NBA Playoffs, one of our fabs. He will join us 11 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,279 Speaker 2: a little bit later on as well. Thunder up three 12 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 2: to one on the Timberwolves. SGA gets forty and also 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 2: gets his MVP. The Timberwolves have been built for the 14 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: playoffs and they do have a balanced team. Jaden McDaniels, 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: Dante DiVincenzo, Nikole, Alexander Walker. So they had twenty or 16 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 2: more points in this game last night. So that's a 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: recipe for a victory, right Well, Anthony Edwards wasn't great 18 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: five at thirteen and sixteen points. You know when he 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: says he wasn't terrible, that doesn't cut it, not for 20 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 2: a great player and you have to come up big now. 21 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: Granted the only losspy Too, which you know would lead 22 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: you to believe if Anthony Edwards plays his normal game, 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: they're winning this. But Minnesota now down three to one. 24 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: Role players are doing their part. The question is can 25 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards be Is he ready for this moment? Here's 26 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards on his performance last night. 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 3: I don't look at it like I struggled or his struggled. 28 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: It just. 29 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: They had a good game plan making us get off 30 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 3: the ball well, especially for me, man, it was superan gaps. 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 3: I made the right play all night, so I don't 32 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 3: really look at it like I struggled. I didn't get 33 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 3: enough shots to say I struggled, So that's my That 34 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 3: might be how you guys look at it, But yeah, 35 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: I'm a struggle Oh, it was just gonna make. 36 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 4: The right play. 37 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: Well, he struggled to get his shots, so he did struggle. 38 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: But Minnesota, you know, realize this probably and said let's 39 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: spread the wealth. Then they're not gonna let Anthony Edwards 40 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: beat us and give credit to OKC. I mean they 41 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: took a risk here, They took the ball out of 42 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: the hands of their best player. Can they continue with 43 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: that philosophy. But keep in mind OKC has three players 44 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: who really focus on defense, Hartenstein, Chat Holmgren and lou Dort. 45 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 2: They focus on defense, They know their role and now 46 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 2: it's up to SGA and the rest of the players 47 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 2: to kind of fill in the blanks. And they only 48 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 2: won by two, but all you got to do is 49 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: win by one. Now they're up three games to one. 50 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: You have the Knicks getting two and a half at 51 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: the Pacers game four. And most importantly, Tyre's Haliburton's dad 52 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: will be allowed back in the building, but he's not 53 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 2: going to be allowed on the floor. He's got to 54 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 2: be up in a suite. Probably had to have that 55 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 2: tough talk there. And normally it's the parent where they say, ah, Jimmy, 56 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: come here, and then all of a sudden, you got 57 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: to go and sit down. Parents are talking to you. 58 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if Tyre's Haliburton says to his dad, 59 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: come on, let's have the talk. Okay, have a seat. 60 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: You promised me on your best behavior. I do promise. 61 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: I do. Okay, we're not gonna antagonize anybody. We're not 62 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 2: going on the floor. We're not gonna hold up any teacher, 63 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: right right, Okay, promise, yes, I promised. Okay, all right, 64 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: let's try it this one time because when we get 65 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals, I want you to be back 66 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 2: so you can sit in your normal seat down. Okay, 67 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: thank you, son. 68 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 4: Yes do Tyrese and his father go through scenarios like 69 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 4: Tyree goes if I hit a game winner over at 70 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 4: brunts and you're gonna do. 71 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: Sit there normally nothing. That's the right answer. Yes, yes, see, 72 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: all right, pull. 73 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 5: Question for hour two. We've actually had it up there 74 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 5: for hour one as well. But which is worse, embarrassing 75 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 5: your parents or embarrassing your kids? 76 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 6: Oh? 77 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: I would say embarrassing your parents I take great joy 78 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: and embarrassing my kids. Yeah. 79 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 5: But there's times where like you humiliate yourself and it's 80 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 5: embarrassing to your kids, don't. I don't mean like it's 81 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 5: a birthday party and you're like ba, I remember the 82 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 5: time you da da da whatever. 83 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: It is just like joking. 84 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 5: It's like, wow, you really act like an idiot and 85 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 5: you embarrass your kids. 86 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: Yeah. I did that with my youngest daughter. I don't 87 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 2: know how old she was when I told the story. 88 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 2: She's probably twenty five and I go. Remember when you 89 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 2: took all your clothes off at Friendli's and you ran 90 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: around the restaurant and mom couldn't catch you, And then 91 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: you could just see the look in her face, like 92 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: are you really saying this right now in front of 93 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: all my friends? So yeah, yeah, I got a lot 94 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: more of those where that one came from. But yeah, 95 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: if you're gonna embarrass your kids, I think that goes 96 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: along with being a parent. You're allowed to do that. 97 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 5: But if your ats a we keep it in this 98 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 5: In this example, you're at a sporting event. Is it 99 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 5: worse to be the child on the court who does 100 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 5: something that embarrasses the parents in the stand, or the 101 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 5: parents in the stand embarrassing the kid on the court. 102 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 2: I think it's worse for the parents. Now. I don't 103 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: want to say my dad embarrassed me, but when the 104 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: officiating was not good, he would take out his white 105 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: hanky and he would wave it and you could hear 106 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: my dad yelling pitiful. I think he somehow made it 107 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: like five syllables, but the way he pronounced pityfull. But 108 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: he had a white hanky and he would wave it. 109 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: He had surrendered. 110 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 5: I love that he surrendered because the officiating was so bad, 111 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 5: forget it, it's pitiful. 112 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 2: Yes. Yes, and one of the greatest moments my father 113 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: ever had watching me play basketball. We're getting blown out, 114 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: I got in foul trouble and he's all over this 115 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 2: official and this official official was really a well respected official, 116 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: mild mannered, And next thing I know, he's standing. It's 117 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: a time out and he has got his back to 118 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 2: my father, who's like seven rows back. He flips my 119 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: father the bird behind his back, and my dad thought 120 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 2: it was one of the greatest moments. He goes, I 121 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: got to him, I said, I don't think so. I 122 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: don't think so. I think he might have gotten to you. Yes, Todd, 123 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: would you. 124 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 7: Rather have your parent yelling the combination of encouragement and 125 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 7: frustration and everything that comes with being into it, Or 126 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 7: you look up and he's like reading the newspaper, he's 127 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 7: on his phone and he looks like he's doing your 128 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 7: favorite by being at the game, sitting there not really 129 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 7: paying attention at all. 130 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: What would you rather have? 131 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 8: I'd rather have the yelling and screaming and run the 132 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 8: risk of embarrassment. 133 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the obvious answer. 134 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, Actually the answer is neither somewhere in between 135 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 4: where you're cheering and paying attention and maybe saying, oh, 136 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 4: come on, RAF a little better on those calls. 137 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 2: But I can't have my dad on a phone or 138 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: reading or acting like he's not there. It's got to 139 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 2: be like calm encouragement. Oh I want my dad into it. 140 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 2: I'm fine with that. Like I don't want him, you know, 141 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 2: to embarrass himself. But my father, he had fun and 142 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,559 Speaker 2: he was spirited and I appreciated that. But I could 143 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 2: hear him that's the problem, and it would be quiet, 144 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: you know, you know, all of a sudden you're at 145 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: the free throw line and you could hear my dad 146 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: yelling out pitiful and waving no, no, never.

Okay, So 173 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: maybe we have First of all, we have maybe the 174 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: five best players in the NBA are going to be 175 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: playing for Team Europe or Team World, whatever it's going 176 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 2: to be called. I'll take my chances with those five, 177 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: and you could have ten great players or very good players. 178 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: I might have great, five great players, and then you know, 179 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: I might have five that are really good players or 180 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 2: good players? What do you have to lose? Considering the 181 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 2: way it is now? You know, when's the last time 182 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: you went? Man, can't wait to watch the All Star Game? This? 183 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: You would you give it a shot? First time? You'd 184 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 2: give this a shot? Yes, Marvin, But do. 185 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 9: You really think somebody like Joker is going to take 186 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 9: it serious. He's not playing for Slovenia, He's playing for 187 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 9: the world. 188 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: I mean, you know why, because everybody else will take 189 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 2: it serious. That's the key. They will take it serious. 190 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: Are you yes? 191 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 8: Are you sure they're going to take it serious? 192 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, first time around? Yes. And then let's say 193 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 2: they win. Then all of a sudden, now it becomes 194 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 2: a rivalry. If they would happen to beat Team USA, 195 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 2: now you have something there, and you know you could 196 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 2: do your first team to one hundred and fifty points 197 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 2: or whatever if you want to add another gimmick to it. 198 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I do love the fact that 199 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 2: if I put you know, Sga, I put Jannis Joker, 200 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: I put Luca. Who else am I missing in there? 201 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: Of the five best players in the game, and let's 202 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: see embeid is Cameroon. 203 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, but he played for America in the Olympics. 204 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, so we we might not have him 205 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 2: in there, but if I have four of the top 206 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 2: six players, and then I think it would be interesting. Yes, Mart. 207 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 9: What about Sibonis, It's it's international sounding even though he 208 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 9: was born in Portland. 209 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. I wonder if they would give him a waiver 210 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: there since his father is from Russia, he could do that. 211 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 4: Yes, can we claim him now I'm in Portland. Definitely 212 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 4: in America, I just checked. 213 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: Yes. 214 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 4: One thing about this though, I think a decade ago, 215 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 4: the NBA would not have wanted to do international versus 216 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 4: USA players because if they lost what happened to the 217 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 4: US say basketball players. But it's clear that this league 218 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 4: is prioritizing international growth over everything the next generation. 219 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's payback for the Dream Team thirty 220 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: years later, yes, thirty two. Yes, Yes. If anything, it's 221 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: validation of the Dream Team and what the Dream Team's 222 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: impact was on the rest of the world. 223 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 7: Yes, Ton, I'd like to know what the world the 224 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 7: national anthem might sound like. You play a few seconds 225 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 7: of nineteen different countries and mix it together. 226 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 8: You know, the US has a national anthem. 227 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 7: This is a bunch of countries, and you're not going 228 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 7: to pick one each game, you pick a different country. 229 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 8: I don't know how many games there are. You got 230 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 8: to kind of one game. You gotta put it all together. 231 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 2: I wasn't going to go there. I was thinking of 232 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 2: other things. But you know, I'm sure that you know 233 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: that maybe is something that would have to be on 234 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: the table with Welvin. 235 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 8: You got nine seconds in my country, you only played 236 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 8: five seconds. What is that about. 237 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 2: Maybe we could do a mash up there. 238 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 9: Yes, Marv Sabonas played for Lithuania in the Olympics, so 239 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 9: he's an international guy. 240 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 2: Professionally lost him alrighty, and so it goes I like it, 241 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: but Jannis is saying, yeah, this would be awesome. See 242 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: he would be into it. Everybody else would be into it. 243 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 2: I really believe that. Yes, Paul, I've got a list. 244 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: It's Luca Jokic, Jannis, Rudy Gobert, Wemby. Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, 245 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: we got Yeah, Kyrie could be in there. 246 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 5: He could play for Australia, Wow, which I think he's 247 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 5: actually talked about doing already. 248 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe so I'd lock him down A Sabonis 249 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:38,239 Speaker 4: Lowry Markinen christops. If healthy Franz Wagner, you love Franzer. 250 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 4: If you pronounced w with a V, you're international official. 251 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 4: Is there an umlat yusef nurkic tons of cos? 252 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, it might be a little dry at 253 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 2: the end of the roster, but that's okay. I'd like 254 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: to see that that starting five though. That'd be pretty good. 255 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: Randy in Pennsylvania leads us off our too.

Bears do not really spawn 301 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 5: in real life, not the same way that fish do. 302 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: They give birth to cubs. Alright, Zach and Knoxville. Hi, Zach, 303 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 2: what's on your mind? 304 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 5: Yes, spawns can spare can spawn in various video games. 305 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 5: For example, The Long Dark Bears respawn at a certain time. 306 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: It's a video game there. That had nothing to do 307 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: with me in British Columbia with a bear that was 308 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: ten feet away. I was not playing a video video games? 309 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: Was the bear was not playing a video game either? 310 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 11: Okay, hey, Zach, they make the smooth transition here to 311 00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 11: my question of how would you feel about the NBA 312 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 11: and possibly rolling it out in that new all star 313 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 11: format go into the emim ending it would incentivize people 314 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 11: to play more defense and not fallot the into games. 315 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: Are you familiar with that? Yes, yes, I'm open to 316 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: any of it because right now it's unwatchable. It really 317 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: is a layup line, that's all it is. And I'd 318 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: like to see something where maybe these guys are spirited, 319 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: and I get it. You know, I'm the old school guy. 320 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: When the All Star Game in baseball meant something, it 321 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: doesn't mean anything anymore. They tried to do home field 322 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: advantage for the World Series. That was silly, that didn't work. 323 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: I you know, if we're gonna do it, it's like 324 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl. Nobody cares. You want to do a 325 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: skills competition.

Dan. I remember the moment 365 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 13: from when you did the report on Pete Rose as 366 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 13: a journalist day and I know you don't do things 367 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 13: like that, don't will investigate anymore like that. So what 368 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 13: would we be if it won reporters like you that 369 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 13: did y'all job at that time? 370 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 6: You know? 371 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 13: Then just think about what Pete Rose the legacy would 372 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 13: be if it wasn't but you doing your job. And 373 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 13: I'm asking you for as the Brett Farb thing, where's 374 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 13: journalism now? When the fans when you give us everything 375 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 13: in those moments, when you're hold in sports legends accountable 376 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 13: and the stories get out again? We know that's the 377 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 13: bigger story behind the Brett fag thing. Why happened it 378 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 13: came out? I don't know why, but I'm asking you. 379 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 2: Well, newspapers are dying. If you look at ESPN, journalism 380 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 2: isn't big anymore to them. Used to be you had 381 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 2: great journalists, You had Bob Lee, Jeremy Shie, they cared. 382 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 2: Feels like the only place that's really doing investigative reporting 383 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: is been Yahoo's sports. Seemed like they would do a 384 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 2: report and then handed to the NCAA and then somebody 385 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 2: would end up on probation. But newspapers are dying. I 386 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 2: just don't think it's important. People want hot takes, they 387 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: want entertainment, and that's what our bosses are, my former 388 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: bosses are interested in. They're not interested in winning Peabody 389 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 2: Awards or Edward R. Murrow Awards for journalism. Just not 390 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 2: used to be but not. And thanks for the phone call. Red. 391 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 2: Let's see Roger in Ohio. Hi, Roger, what's on your 392 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: mind today? 393 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 10: Yeah? 394 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: Dan, glad to get on. 395 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 6: What I was calling about was my work. So weekend 396 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 6: was Indians dash. Guardians beat my Tigers the first three games. 397 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 6: But on Sunday, Rick Scoogle pitched two header and his 398 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 6: last pitch was played a game and this last pitch 399 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 6: was one hundred and three miles an hour and we 400 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 6: was at the game and he was took in a 401 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,959 Speaker 6: motion at that last pitch. 402 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: Well, he's a great pitcher, you know, Triple Crown winner. 403 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: And you know the fact that Detroit they haven't been good, 404 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: but you know, now all of a sudden they have something. 405 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: The last couple of years, you could kind of see 406 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 2: this coming. And you know, you start to look at 407 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 2: baseball here and we tend to focus on the Dodgers 408 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 2: and the Yankees, and rightfully so, but there are six 409 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 2: teams playing six hundred ball or better winning sixty percent 410 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 2: of their games. You have the Dodgers and the Yankees, Cubs, Phillies, 411 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 2: Mets and Tigers, Cardinals and Giants already have at least 412 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,719 Speaker 2: thirty wins. So you know you have some stories here. 413 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 2: It's a long season. But baseball we tend to look 414 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: at spring training, and then we tend to look at 415 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: the All Star Game, and then we look at postseason. 416 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 2: But there are a lot of great stories going on 417 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 2: in baseball and some teams playing some really good baseball 418 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 2: at that Russell and Vegas, Hi, Russ, what's on your 419 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 2: mind today? 420 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 8: I like it? 421 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 13: Ay. 422 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 14: First of all, the best of the weekend is have 423 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 14: you guys come back? Secondly, the best of the other 424 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 14: best of the weekend saving Fritzy on the mic. 425 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 8: I love it. 426 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 14: I'd like to chime in about the NBA Basketball All 427 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 14: Star Game. I'm not a big fan of the NBA 428 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 14: All Star Weekend, but if you can create a situation 429 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 14: where it's the US versus the world, I think that's 430 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 14: an awesome, awesome scenario. Because these athletes have egos. It's 431 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 14: all about ego, it's all about country pride. So I 432 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 14: think that would be the best way to go. I'll 433 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 14: hang up here, and thought. 434 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm all for it. I've been all for it 435 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 2: for the last couple of years. And I remember talking 436 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 2: to David Sturing, the former commissioner, and he wanted he said, 437 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 2: at some point, I hope to get a level playing 438 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 2: field with the players from outside the United States and 439 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: the players inside the United States. Well we're here, and 440 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 2: it feels like we're moving a little bit further with 441 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 2: those players from outside the United States. The importance of 442 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 2: basketball these countries, you know, the United States took it 443 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 2: for granted. AAU basketball as ruined the game in some ways. 444 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: It's far more structured in Europe. You're a professional at 445 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 2: a younger age. You go to you know, groups there 446 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 2: that are teaching, you go to school for it. You know, 447 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: that's kind of a job that you're given over there. 448 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 2: I mean, Luca was fifteen, he was a pro playing 449 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 2: against grown men. So when he came into the NBA, 450 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 2: yes he was playing against better players, but he was 451 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: playing against guys who were similar sized with what he 452 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: was already playing with. And that's really important. You know 453 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: the fact that Yannis came over and Joker came over 454 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 2: and made themselves better. That's what's lost on people. They 455 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 2: were you know, Joker was second round, he was Taco 456 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 2: bell boy. And then you know, even Giannis, we're like, oh, okay, 457 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 2: he's known as the Greek freak. Okay, but he made 458 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 2: himself better. Joker made himself better. Luca's gotta make himself better. 459 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 2: Shay Gilgis made himself better. You know this isn't an 460 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: accident that this was designed, Yes, Pauline. 461 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, And if you go back to the Luca draft, 462 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 4: I think that's twenty eighteen. 463 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 2: He's the third pick. 464 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 4: Like you said, he's been playing four years of professional basketball. 465 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 4: DeAndre Ayton and Marvin Bagley the third were one and 466 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 4: done guys. They played four months of college basketball. I 467 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 4: think the American college players are a bigger risk than 468 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 4: international players these days. I think that's a fair stereotype. 469 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 2: Well, I'll use this analogy. It might not be fair, 470 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 2: but you don't take its rare rare, rare, rare. When 471 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 2: you take a quarterback who's only played started one year, 472 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: you don't do that. There's a number attached to this, 473 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: and it's around thirty starts. That's what scouts would like 474 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 2: to tell you that that's a sweet spot to be 475 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 2: able to assess how good a player is. And if 476 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 2: you've seen you know, we've had guys who played one year, 477 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: started one year. Zach Wilson, you know, he didn't get 478 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 2: to thirty starts. He was Trey Lance had one magical gear. 479 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 2: You just have to be careful with those players. You 480 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 2: want somebody who has a large sample size and you 481 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 2: could truly assess how good they are. All right, best 482 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: works of the weekend, Todd, I'll start with you. 483 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 8: Best of the weekend. 484 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 7: The Knicks are avoid falling deep into an O three 485 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 7: hole in the Eastern Conference Finals at the Pacers Sunday night, 486 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 7: A racing about twenty point deficit, big contribution from Kat 487 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 7: scoring twenty to twenty four points in the fourth quarter. 488 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 7: Worst Rocky's lost a Memorial Day against the Cubs means 489 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 7: they've lost. They've won just three of their last twenty 490 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 7: three games nine and forty five twenty four games back. 491 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 8: In the NL West. In seven of those losses this season, 492 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 8: they've given up double digit runs. What is going on 493 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 8: in Colorado? 494 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: See O'Connor My worst of the weekend. 495 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 5: Kyle Larson going for the double, which is finishing the 496 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 5: NTY five hundred and the Coca Cola six hundred the 497 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 5: same day. Unfortunately he crashed out of both races. It's 498 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 5: gonna be tough to do that. He's tried that before, 499 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 5: I think, and there's no word and if he's gonna 500 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 5: try it again next year. But he was talking about 501 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 5: and I don't really understand this, but the window to 502 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 5: be able to do it is so small because of 503 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 5: weather and all these other things that you can't really control. 504 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 5: That being able to do that, or even just having 505 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 5: the chance the opportunity to do it, is pretty rare. 506 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 5: What a cool thing, though. 507 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 2: And then Tony Stewart, I think did it twice, being 508 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: able to compete in both. 509 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 5: I think he might be the only person who's done it. 510 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: I could also be completely wrong about that. 511 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 5: My best of the weekend Absolutely massive, massive news dropped 512 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 5: this weekend.

Tony 562 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 4: Stewart finished sixth at the Indy five hundred, took a 563 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 4: plane down and finished third at the Coca Cola six hundred. 564 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 8: Wow, that's nuts. 565 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 4: Best of the weekend. 566 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 8: Lions. 567 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 4: Aiden Hutchinson the great defensive end, cleared to return to 568 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 4: football activities. Very fun player. And the other thing, we're 569 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 4: almost at June and Aaron Judge is hitting three ninety eight. 570 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 4: He's on pace for fifty five homers and his batting average, 571 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 4: I mean it's not four to twenty anymore, but it's 572 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 4: in striking distance and it's one thing we haven't seen 573 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 4: in our lifetime since Tony Gwinn someone going for four hundred. 574 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, George Brett, I think ended at three ninety. But uh, 575 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: but it was important back then. It's batting average isn't 576 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: important anymore. It used to be. But the fact that 577 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 2: he's hitting, you know, this kind of average at this 578 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 2: point in the season in today baseball climate of you know, 579 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: swing for the fences, I mean, that's remarkable and for 580 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 2: a guy that big, that's remarkable. But Rod Carew and 581 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,479 Speaker 2: Boggs and Tony Gwynn that it mattered. You wanted two 582 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: hundred hits and you wanted a bat three fifty. I 583 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: don't know if they even care about two hundred hits. Anymore. 584 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 2: I don't understand analytics. I just know if my gun 585 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 2: gets on base, that sounds like it's a good thing, 586 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 2: I think, But I don't know. I'd have to check 587 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 2: with analytics. All right, we'll take a break. Where are 588 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: we going with college football? Seems like a loaded question 589 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 2: and maybe a question that can't be answered, but we 590 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: will try when we return after this. 591 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan 592 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific 593 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 594 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about college football, the ever changing 595 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 2: landscape of college football, where it is now, where it's 596 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: going next year, where it's going after them. Ross Dellinger, 597 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 2: this is his John Yahoo Sports senior college football reporter, 598 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: joints us on the program. Bring us all up to speed, 599 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 2: bring the audience up to speed of where we are 600 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 2: right now with let's just start with the playoffs, the 601 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 2: number of teams, and any other ancillary items that fall 602 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 2: in line with that. Yeah, and well, we know. 603 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 15: This year we're going to have the same format pretty 604 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 15: much right, We're gonna have twelve teams, the same format. 605 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 15: They're going to go to straight seeding, which they decided 606 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 15: last week, but it's starting in twenty twenty six and 607 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 15: beyond where the conversation is around sixteen teams, and that 608 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 15: does feel like something that's going to happen. 609 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 16: We're at least we. 610 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 15: Kind of know that maybe for sure, is that we're 611 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 15: going to the college football is going to have a 612 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 15: sixteen team playoff. The question is how do you decide 613 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 15: how do you determine those sixteen teams? So the Big 614 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 15: Ten has kind of swung its support behind a model 615 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 15: that grants four automatic qualifiers to the Big Ten in 616 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 15: the SEC each two automatic qualifiers to the ACC and 617 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 15: Big twelve one for the Group of six champion and 618 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 15: then three at large. So that would be a multiple 619 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 15: kind of AQ type of sixteen team format the SEC. 620 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 15: And I'm here at SEC Spring meetings now in Destin. 621 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 15: They'll talk about that this week, but they as well 622 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,479 Speaker 15: have been in support from predominantly in the Athletic Director 623 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 15: and President room, they have been support of that model too. 624 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 16: But Greg Sink did say yesterday the SEC Commissioner. 625 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 15: That they're not necessarily officially or formally have adopted any 626 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 15: kind of support for a model, but that's the one 627 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 15: they've been certainly discussing most Now, the flip side of this, obviously, 628 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 15: the Big twelve and ACC they want more than two teams, right, 629 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 15: so they're not for this four four two two one 630 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 15: type of model. 631 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 16: And that's where things could get pretty interesting. 632 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 15: Dan, there's a little bit of a you might say, 633 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 15: a fight brewing between among the power conferences. 634 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting though the four to four with Big 635 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 2: ten and SEC. Now, are they capping that the Big 636 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 2: ten and SEC can only have that's a maximum of 637 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 2: four teams in the playoffs. 638 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 16: No, they are. They are not capping. 639 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 15: So the three at large that are still available would 640 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 15: in theory still be available for the fifth place, sixth 641 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 15: place SEC or Big ten team. 642 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 2: Wouldn't the SEC have had six teams to qualify last year? 643 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 2: Does that sound about right? 644 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 16: I think that's right. There were sixteen, Yeah they were. 645 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 15: There were six in the top in the top sixteen 646 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 15: or whatever where that would possibly have happened. And actually, 647 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 15: you know, it's one thing, Greg Sink you did say yesterday, 648 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 15: because the two formats they're talking about most here, I 649 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 15: think are this four four two two one and then 650 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 15: a five plus eleven format, which is five automatic qualifiers 651 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 15: in eleven at large, and in that model, the SEC 652 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 15: would have gotten as many as sixteen teams into the 653 00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 15: or six teams. 654 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 16: Into the playoffs. If you did that model and went 655 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 16: back for the last several years. 656 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 2: It might be crazy to say this, but I will 657 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 2: who benefits the most out of all of those. 658 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 15: Well, the SEC and Big ten right in this in 659 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 15: this four to four model, certainly the SEC and Big 660 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 15: ten would be would benefit. Now if you look at 661 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 15: outside of college athletics, uh, with the kind of the 662 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 15: brewing fight going on in just the fight for control 663 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 15: in more money Dan, which everybody right now needs more 664 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 15: money right because they have to pay athletes directly starting 665 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 15: in about about five weeks or so, So everybody's after money. 666 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 15: So when you look at what's going on in college 667 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 15: athletics just the landscape in general right now, those that 668 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 15: benefit outside of the agents in the athletes right that 669 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 15: are are getting paid and then the agents getting a. 670 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,479 Speaker 16: Percentage are the outside entities that. 671 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 15: We see maybe trying to get into college athletics with money, 672 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 15: which your private equity firms, private capital firms, And that's 673 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 15: really been interesting to follow DAN two weeks ago, the 674 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 15: Big twelve and ACC some of their presidents met with 675 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 15: the Smash Capital folks that have this super League proposal, 676 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 15: and they want to infuse nine billion dollars in the 677 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 15: collegegate athletics. And it's people like that that could benefit 678 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 15: and come in and kind of fill a hole a 679 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,919 Speaker 15: financial goal where so many schools have one. 680 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 2: We're talking to Ross Dellinger, he's at the SEC meetings. 681 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 2: He's Yeaho's sports senior college football reporter. I've been saying 682 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 2: for years it would be nice to have a schedule maker, 683 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 2: so yeah, for for college football, and maybe we get 684 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 2: to this fifty schools and then you have somebody who's 685 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 2: going to have you know, the AFC West and the 686 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 2: AFC North and AFC you know all of those. You know, 687 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 2: we create and we treat it like it's the NFL. 688 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 2: But I don't I don't know if we get I'd 689 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,319 Speaker 2: love relegation. I think you could really dress this up 690 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 2: and make this so credibly huge, But I don't know 691 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,760 Speaker 2: if it just feels like there's too many moving parts 692 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 2: and too many people that maybe it doesn't have. Is 693 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 2: that a pipe dream of in the next ten years 694 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 2: that we have maybe a fifty school format or forty schools? 695 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 15: Well, and that's what you know, a lot of these 696 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 15: super league proposals that you've seen, not much of it 697 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 15: backed by private equity. In private capital firms would design 698 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 15: something like you're talking about, right. 699 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 16: They think college athletics. 700 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 15: Specifically college football is vastly undervalued. They need to consolidate 701 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 15: all the media rights the TV deal, They need to 702 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,919 Speaker 15: have more uniform scheduling among the conferences, and they need 703 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 15: to have more balance in the playoff in the regular 704 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 15: season schedules. So I think a lot of folks agree 705 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 15: on what you're talking about trying to get done. The 706 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 15: problem is you have all these existing right TV contracts 707 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 15: with individual leagues, and as you know, college sports has 708 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 15: always been kind of fractured into conferences, and it really 709 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 15: prevents a lot of this from happening, and it prevents 710 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 15: the entity in general of reaping its full the value. 711 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 15: A lot of people would say, but eventually, Dan, we'll 712 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 15: get there, and I think it's coming. I think it's 713 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 15: around the corner. I would say five to seven years, 714 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 15: we're gonna get to a point where this happens. Because 715 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 15: between the years twenty thirty and twenty thirty two, there's 716 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 15: a lot of things that will happen. Contracts that come up, 717 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 15: Dan that could really trigger a lot of what we're 718 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 15: talking about here. The CFP contract comes up with ESPN, 719 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 15: the NCAA basketball tournament contract comes up, the Big twelve, 720 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 15: in Big Ten TV contracts as well come up. We 721 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 15: could see a more of a consolidation of brands there 722 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 15: and more of a centralized kind of leadership in college athletics. 723 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 15: And I think it's coming now. 724 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 2: We have that NIL, but we also have collectibles and 725 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 2: we have salary cap right, right. 726 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 15: There's a lot going on with Yeah, collective is very 727 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 15: the compensation. 728 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 16: Right, We've been in the NIL. 729 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 15: Era of the past four years where boot basically boosters 730 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 15: are paying athletes for quote in il when really it 731 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 15: is just a salary. And now we're about to get 732 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 15: into real salaries, right, Schools on July one are going 733 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 15: to be able to pay directly players basically salaries. They 734 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,399 Speaker 15: don't call it that, of course, because they don't want 735 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 15: them to be employees, but it basically is a salary 736 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 15: that schools will begin paying. But in order to do 737 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 15: all that, the House Settlement case needs to be approved 738 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,879 Speaker 15: by the judge. And here we are, right probably five 739 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 15: weeks before it's supposed to be implemented. 740 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 16: All this is supposed to be implemented, and. 741 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 15: The judge has not yet ruled on whether to deny 742 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 15: or approved the settlement. 743 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 2: How's it going over with USC? Looks like they're going 744 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 2: to end the rivalry with Notre Dame. I don't know 745 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 2: if it's spoken about in SEC circles, but we're losing 746 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 2: rivalry games here. 747 00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 16: We are losing ribery games. 748 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 15: One of the more sad things that has happened in 749 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 15: college athletics the last few years with conference realignment, right, 750 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 15: is the destruction of these these rivalry games. Oklahoma State 751 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 15: Oklahoma right is another one that you could see go away. 752 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 15: It's it is too bad. I haven't heard it really 753 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 15: we talked much about here, but I'll say this. If 754 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 15: the playoff format gets the playoff format gets finalized as. 755 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 16: A four four two two where you have four. 756 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 15: Out of wind qualifiers for a big ten in the SEC, 757 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 15: I think you'll see USC still play that game. I 758 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 15: think the CFP format is going to be a big 759 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 15: piece in a lot of regular season non conference scheduling decisions. 760 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 2: Great to talk to you, and it feels like if 761 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley doesn't win this Notre Dame game coming up 762 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 2: this October. Man, it feels like that's this is a 763 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 2: make or break year for him at USC. 764 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 15: It feels like that, Dan, But you got to remember 765 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,280 Speaker 15: that buy out of his I think it's over eighty 766 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 15: million dollars At a time when everybody's so stressed financially 767 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 15: stressed with paying athletes. It is tough to see USC 768 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 15: paying eighty million plus dollars to fire them. 769 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 16: But you never know, right. 770 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts Hope's perspective for North Carolina with 771 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick this upcoming season? Wow? 772 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 15: Yeah, certainly without all the off the field stuff going 773 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 15: on in college athletics, that would be the big storyline. 774 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 15: And it has still been a big storyline this year. 775 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,720 Speaker 15: You know, you look at their schedule, Dan, and it's 776 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 15: pretty good. It's pretty smooth. You could see them going 777 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 15: eight and four or something like that. I think that 778 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 15: would be I think that would be a success a 779 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 15: year one there. But it's going to be certainly interesting 780 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 15: to watch. It's been quite an interesting offseason there in 781 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 15: Keppel Hill. 782 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 10: Hid. 783 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you got Carolina Blue polo shirt on there you 784 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 2: talk to Yeah, thank you, Ross, We appreciate your time. 785 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 2: Ross Dellinger.
