1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man. It is that

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: time of week. My name is Bernie Friddley. We are

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Comedy Live the Fox Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: We'll take up to three am Pacific six am Eastern

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: one of those nights. Well, like every show, we've got

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: about eight hours worth of stuff and we'll stuff it

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: into four and here we go. You know, one of

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: the great things about this time slot is it gives

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: me the opportunity to review what took place over the

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: weekend or the week prior, and then preview the week ahead.

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: Although every now and then it kind of bites you

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: in the butchet a little bit. Because when I signed

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: off the air last Sunday morning at three am Pacific,

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: we previewed the gold medal game between USA and Canada,

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: not having any idea that it would blossom into one

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: of these stories for the ages, and I just want

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: to get a couple things off my chest. And as

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: the as the week went on, and it amazes me

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: how a team, once proud franchise that's defined by their eras,

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: is wrapping up the clown era. Yet they took they

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: really took the headlines away almost every day in the

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: NBA this week. And there's an interesting juxtaposition between the

24
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: two teams that I'm referring to, the Canadian hockey team

25
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: and the Los Angeles Lakers. It really comes down to expectations,

26
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: perceptions and in reality. Let me give a get a

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: little story to try to give you some context. Her

28
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: two brothers that go to bed one night, and brother

29
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: A has a net worth of nine hundred and fifty

30
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: thousand dollars and brother B has a net worth of

31
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars. Brother A is livid. He's upset. He

32
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: had a bad day in the stock market, lost fifty grand,

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: but his net worth is still nine hundred and fifty grand.

34
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: Brother B had a great day in the stock market,

35
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: made five grand, and his net worth is fifty grand.

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: So the guy with fifty grand as his net worth

37
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: is happy, sleeping, soundy. But the guy with nine hundred

38
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars in his net worth is unhappy

39
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: because he had a bad day. Expectations, perceptions, reality, And

40
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 2: after that game ended Sunday, it didn't take long. It

41
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: just took a few hours. And if you were like me,

42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: you had to get sick of it. Frankly, we were

43
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: the better team. Comments really started to fall flat, in

44
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: my opinion, in a hurry. It was almost as if

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: Canada did not acknowledge the USA's win is legitimate. There

46
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,559
Speaker 2: were even some coolt rig delegations that that the commentators

47
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: argue the game is rigged due to too many men

48
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: penalty against Tmusa and the third period it was a

49
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: missed call. Critics pointed out that, well, maybe the American

50
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: hockey team appeard to have seven players on the ice

51
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: during a crucial sequence, yet no penalty was called. And

52
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: then Nathan McKinnon, who's his start every right, expressed his

53
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: frustration after the loss. The total reporters quote, you be

54
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: the judge of who the better team was today. Great,

55
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 2: you got more shots on goal forty two to twenty eight.

56
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: That's part of the game. And then there were coaching

57
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: excuses three on three excuses from the Canadian coaching staff.

58
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: Some American players said, well, we got the job done

59
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: regardless of the format, but you know three on three

60
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: was not really hockey, right, But didn't Canada just win

61
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: two overtime games in the quarters and semis to advance

62
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: to the gold medal game. Also, by the way, can

63
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: he had sixty two sixty three minutes to score another

64
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: goal on Connor Hellibuck and you didn't, so sorry. That's

65
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: the breaks, you know. The nature of sport really reveals

66
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: the best and worst of people at times, and it

67
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: often forces some people to take a step back and

68
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: a knowledge well, there are highs that are lows, and

69
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: typically in those moments of clarity, for some you either

70
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: gain inside or wisdom or you get bitter. This is

71
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: where I for a second channel The Miracle on Ice.

72
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: I will forever be thankful to Mike Ruzione who came

73
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: on my show in two thousand and one, could have

74
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: been more humble. And if you haven't had a chance

75
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: to see The Miracle on Ice, the latest iteration of

76
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: that documentary on Netflix, I highly recommend it hour and

77
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: forty one minutes. You will love it. But what's interesting

78
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: what hasn't was never really reported a lot about that

79
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: game When the Americans beat the Russians four to three

80
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: on February twenty second, nineteen eighty it was that the

81
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: drug of overconfidence probably plagued that world beating force that

82
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: was the nineteen eighty Soviet hockey team. They were mythical.

83
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: I think that they were. Look, you know, people thought

84
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: they were like robots and machines and couldn't get beaten.

85
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: And that was partly due to their coach, Victor Tikhanoff.

86
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: The way these discipline approached to the game of hockey

87
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: was the way they approached that tournament. But they lost. Okay,

88
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: the Canadians may or may not have suffered that same

89
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: malady last Sunday. Hell they invented a game, right well,

90
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: James Nate Smith invented basketball too in Canada, but US

91
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: is still dominating in that as well. Now I think

92
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: Canada maybe thought they had a god given right to

93
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: win the game. Again, we are back to expectations, perceptions,

94
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 2: reality rear its head and not for nothing. Even while

95
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: the US won the gold Canada's Connor McDavid was named

96
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: the tournament MVP. I think he should have gone to

97
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: counter Hellibuck. But that's water under the bridge, at least

98
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: for now. Meanwhile, the Lakers the fools gold Lakers. Okay,

99
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: so what they beat Golden State Saturday night, and they'll

100
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: beat Sacramento on Sunday. And oh, by the way, they're

101
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: eleven and sixteen against above five hundred teams, and they

102
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: had an interesting week. They lost to Boston, they lost

103
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: to Orlando, they lost to Phoenix with no Devin Booker,

104
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: no Dylan Brooks, and it just seemed, as you watched

105
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: that game, the Lakers really don't even have the want

106
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 2: to anymore. But the game that stood out was the

107
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 2: Tuesday night loss against the Magic. I really believe after

108
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: watching it, it was a metaphor a glaring example of

109
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: the actual dysfunction of a team that well, they have expectations,

110
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: they have perceptions, but they're also dealing with reality. If

111
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: you remember, la led Orlando eighty is seventy nine after

112
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: three quarters, and heading into that night, the Lakers said, well,

113
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: it had a best record in the NBA of twenty

114
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: five to zero when they lafter three quarters. Believe it

115
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: or not, but whenever you see a stat like that,

116
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: there's a pretty good idea that it maybe will not

117
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: last too much longer. Magic got the lead early in

118
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and from there you know what happened.

119
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: Let's get to the final play of the game. It

120
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: was a bust from the start Lebron James inbounded the

121
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: ball to Luka Doncic, who appeared to have an open,

122
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: if extremely deep look from you a few feet behind

123
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: the art, but then he hesitated, dribbled, and gave the

124
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: Magic defense a chance to swarm him. In desperation, he

125
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: dumped the ball back to James, who rushed up a

126
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: difficult turnaround jumping from about twenty six feet that was

127
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: well off the mark. The buzzer sounded, game set match. Now,

128
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: it didn't thing like that might be compelling on its own,

129
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: but the coach in the Lakers locker room after the

130
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: game brought a whole new level of the storyline. Remember

131
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: when Lebron James wins, you know, success as a thousand fathers,

132
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: but well losing as an orphan. They asked James what

133
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,479
Speaker 2: happened in that final play, and in his usual inarticulate

134
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: goofy self, he said, quote, well, obviously you have to

135
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: ask Luca when he saw him that. I thought he

136
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: had a good look. I was kind of off balanced

137
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: when he gave it to me. I thought he had

138
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: a great look. JJ Reddick also appeared perplexed. I haven't

139
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: had a chance to really look into it with Luca. Quote,

140
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: we obviously ran a play for him to get a look.

141
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: I felt like he had a decent shot. All right,

142
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: For most NBA teams, a loss like that, all right,

143
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: it's another night. It's a competitive league. Onto the next one.

144
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: But because the Lakers are the Lakers, and because we

145
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: were told, I mean, they have the two of the

146
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: best offensive players in the game, we were told Luca

147
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: would be in shape, we were told Luca would contribute

148
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: on defense. We were told that the Big three last

149
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: year hardly had any opportunities to play together. But when

150
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: they play together, Luca, Austin Reeves and Lebron and they

151
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: play against the legitimate team, they get run off the floor.

152
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: So there's a larger point here to be made. Tuesday's

153
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: game was a metaphor. It was a glaring example of

154
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: the actual dysfunction of another team. Who will I don't think.

155
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: Maybe they believe they have a god given right to win.

156
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: They're a PROD franchise and they're defined by their errors,

157
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: and this era is doing everything they can delidify their

158
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: position as the clown era, and that's what it is.

159
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: Then on Thursday, the Suns gashed the Lakers for one

160
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen points forty six percent from the floor,

161
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: at the morning meeting, JJ Reddick emphasized the need to

162
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: limit the Sun's three point shooting. Phoenix made twenty two

163
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: to three pointers that night that game. If you watched it,

164
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: and I'm starting to started to watch these games more,

165
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: the Lakers needed to play with urgency, That's what I

166
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: noticed most. They didn't. They needed to play with defensive discipline.

167
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: They didn't do that either. Forget Saturday night. It's a

168
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: it's a non winit to Yogi baristat all right. The

169
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: Lakers entered Thursday's game twenty fourth in defensive raiding and

170
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,479
Speaker 2: if you watched it, you can see why the rotations

171
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: are slow. The rim protection is non existent. The game

172
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: was tied at eighty entering the fourth quarter. By the

173
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: midway point, the Suns had gone on an eighteen to

174
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: three run. Then Lucas he winds it officials the minute.

175
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: He said on the floor, it's become a national story.

176
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: But his defense, please please, you can't be in denial anymore.

177
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: Luca's defense is a bigger problem. On Thursday, the Suns

178
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: put Luca in simple actions far too often. He gave

179
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 2: up on the play. Phoenix's game winning three came off

180
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: of possession to begin with Grayson Allen, who will ever

181
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 2: be confused for Magic? Johnson beat Luka, Doncic off the dribble.

182
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: James Reeves are individually, I get it, dynamic offensive players together,

183
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: they stink. They've played two hundred and thirteen minutes together

184
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 2: per NBA dot com, and their offensive rating will all

185
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: three on the floor is one of six point seven.

186
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 2: That's not good and they aren't getting a lot of help.

187
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: Remember we told you we thought on DeAndre eight would stink.

188
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: His return to Phoenix was a disaster. He scored two points,

189
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: he attempted three shots, He was minus twenty four and

190
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: twenty two minutes later, in an ESPN story, ate and

191
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: declared he was upset the Lakers are trying to turn

192
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: him into Clint Capella. Some people said, well, he might

193
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: be worse than Clint Capella. Look here's what's gonna happen

194
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 2: from here on out. You're gonna see more frustration, You're

195
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: gonna see more goofiness, and this is who the Lakers are. Doncic,

196
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: he always kind of bothered me. Maybe someone knows nikoa

197
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: an apology. He saved the Mattericks four hundred and eighty

198
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: million dollars. But I think he's starting to bother you too.

199
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: Don't act like he doesn't. Yeah, Sherry scores forty one

200
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: points against Phoenix, willing the team back into a game

201
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: that they end up choking. Reeves is in the midst

202
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: of a career best season, but he can't guard a

203
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: park card. It turns out defense is important Again. We

204
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: were told Luca was in shape, lost weight, ready to

205
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: contribute on defense. Look, he doesn't have to be Dennis Rodman.

206
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: He's not even Dennis de Menace. Theoretically. Theoretically, the Lakers

207
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 2: can be a good team. They'll never be a great team,

208
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: not this season, not on this roster. So there's your

209
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: week juxtaposed Team Canada with Team Lakers. And if you're

210
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 2: a fan of either, you didn't sleep well most of

211
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: the week and you may not for a while. Coming

212
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: up one event that's starting next week, it's going to

213
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: be spectacular, especially on the heels of what was a

214
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: superb Olympic hockey tournament is a World Baseball Classic, and

215
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: it just seems like snap your fingers. It wasn't that

216
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: long ago that Shohyo Tani was striking out Mike Trout

217
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: to wrap it up for Japan. This Baseball Classic, this

218
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic, is going to be nothing short of

219
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: the spectacular. You should see some of these rosters, not

220
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: just the Japan, not just the USA, the American Republic, Mexico,

221
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: even Italy has twenty five players that are in the

222

Speaker 3: Bernie. I appreciate you having me in. It's a great

243
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: time of the year.

244
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: It really is. As we turn the calendar to the March,

245
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: there's a lot of wonderful sporting events, but I think

246
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: coming off the heels of the great hockey in the Olympics,

247
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic is going to while some people

248
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: and I want to start get your thoughts on Japan.

249
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: They're the reigning champs and they're loaded again, and they

250
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: do have showy Otani, but it's my understanding he will

251
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: only hit and not pitch. Do you expect Japan to repeat?

252
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?

253
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I went to this tournament the

254
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: first year not really understanding the magnificence of the setup.

255
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: And since I went in that first year, I've been

256
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: totally hooked. And the one thing that I've found out

257
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: after following closely for the last several years, this tournament

258
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: was first played in two thousand and six and so

259
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: over the course of the last five or so World

260
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: Baseball Classics, what I've found is what a tremendous national

261
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: pride and approach that Japan takes to this tournament, and

262
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: they create, cultivate, and manicure their team each three or

263
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: four year period in between each World Baseball Classic, so

264
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: that when they compete against these other teams, Yes, we

265
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 3: have a United States team that's just totally chock full

266
00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: of superstars as well the Dominican Republic. That said, those

267
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: teams are superstars that are tossed together for a World

268
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic. They come from each corner of the globe.

269
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: Japan really works on practicing and cultivating the whole culture

270
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: of a team going into each World Baseball Classic, and

271
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 3: their tightness and their team, the cohesiveness of their team

272
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: is often what I'm recommending one bet when one bets

273
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: the World Baseball Classic. I can go into the individuals

274
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: on each team, and really between the United States and

275
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: the Dominicans, it's a who's who of Major League superstars.

276
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 3: Japan has their handful of Major League Baseball superstar players also,

277
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 3: but they use a lot of players from the Japan

278
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 3: Baseball professional leagues, and it's the cohesiveness of the team

279
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 3: that I recommend when I ask people to consider using Japan.

280
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 3: The other thing in this tournament, Bernie, as you're well aware,

281
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: this is a bracketed tournament, and so you have sides,

282
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 3: and it's just critically important to understand how those brackets

283
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 3: set up and where those teams are within each bracket. Obviously,

284
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: the United States, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Canada with Mexico

285
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: are in one side of the bracket. Japan falls in

286
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 3: the other side of the bracket with the Dominicans and

287
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: the Venezuelans. But the bracket, the bracket aspect of the tournament,

288
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 3: the fact that we have these great Major League Baseball

289
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 3: players riddled throughout each team's roster makes this a highly

290
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: competitive and really excellent tournament, one that I do believe

291
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: Japan has an edge on because of the nature and

292
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: the cultivation of the team aspect that they spend so

293
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: much time cultivating with.

294
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 2: Gambla, Luloof and Karo the World Baseball plastic I too,

295
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 2: I was living in Michigan at the time, specifically made

296
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: the track to Anaheim in two thousand and six because

297
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: I wanted to see the Japanese team playoff close and personal,

298
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: and I'm with you. And Japan won that inaugural tournament.

299
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 2: Dice K Mantsisaki, you may remember that name, was the

300
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 2: winning pitcher. The biggest difference now twenty years later is

301
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 2: all of these teams, lou if you look at their

302
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: rosters have major league players. I mean, you mentioned the

303
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 2: Dominican Republic. My god, are they loaded. It's incredible the

304
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: players they have, you know, on that team, and uh

305
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: you know, I mean it's not just of lat gerro

306
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 2: Junior Juan Soto for an end of the teams that

307
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: are sandi O Katara. I think it's going to come

308
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: down to pitching like it always does. Who has in

309
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: your view, the best pitching in this tournament?

310
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 3: Yes, and so when you think about pitching, I mean

311
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: you've got to look at the United States to come

312
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 3: down to it. But Trek Scoobel, Paul Skins leadership, Clayton Kershaw,

313
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 3: and I could go on and on, but at the

314
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: end of the day, there are rules and limits for

315
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 3: the pitchers that are more specific than I can get

316
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 3: into right now. But it's not like and again we're

317
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: in March. A lot of these major league players, especially

318
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 3: pitchers aren't ready to go fully yet. The issue is

319
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 3: these kids are competitors. When they get on the mound

320
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 3: and they get those competitive juices going, they tend to

321
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 3: not want to come out. And so the World Baseball

322
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: Classic has specific rules for pitching. So pitch depth is

323
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 3: going to be important. And boy, when you talk about

324
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 3: pitching depth, ye had Japan's good, but you have to

325
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 3: everyone takes second seat to the stable of pitching that

326
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: the US is going to put out there.

327
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you brought up those rules because pitch counts.

328
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: This is new for this tournament. Sixty five pitch count

329
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 2: in the first round, eighty and a quarterfinals, ninety five

330
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: in the championship game. I'm not sure how that affects

331
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: the tournament other than perhaps pitching depth. But as you

332
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: look past Lou the star teams like the USA and

333
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 2: the Dominican Republican in Japan, what are your thoughts in

334
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 2: some outliers like South Korea or Chinese Tape or even

335
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: Great Britain's got a really good team. What are your thoughts?

336
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, my thoughts there are that this tournament, honestly, Bernie,

337
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 3: to me, is six teams deep. I don't think South Korea, Canada, Italy, Cuba.

338
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 3: I don't think those teams are positioned to try and

339
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: win at Panama. You know, maybe one hundred to one

340
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: might be able to win a game or two, and

341
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 3: even Mexico at twenty two to one, I think it's doubtful.

342
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: I think between US, Japan, Dominican, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico,

343
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: those are the five teams that the champion is going

344
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: to come from.

345
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: Talk with Lulua, Finnacio Gamblon, Lou talk about some value

346
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: that you see with some of the teams in the odds,

347
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: just in case and you might want to hedge later.

348
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: Because I mentioned Great Britain. I just threw that out there.

349
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 2: If you watched them in the tournament three years ago,

350
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: they didn't make any noise, but they were competitive in

351
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: every game.

352
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 3: No and you have teams that are going to be

353
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: competitive in games, and you look at Great Britain. They're

354
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 3: in Pool BE Unfortunately that's with the US, so that

355
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: makes it pretty tough for them. I'll go to the

356
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 3: Pool A, which I think is wide open to Puerto

357
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 3: Rico's currently the favorite in the pool, but Canada real

358
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: quiet like has built a decent team. They have major

359
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 3: League Baseball players on the team, and they're sitting second

360
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: in odds to win Pool A at plus three point thirty.

361
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: And then the next team, Cuba at seven to one,

362
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 3: should not be overlooked either. Cuba can make some ways

363
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 3: and win a game or two and potentially steal a

364
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: pool away from Puerto Rico.

365
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned Cuba. They actually were the runner

366
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 2: up in that initial that inaugural World Baseball Classic. You

367
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: don't hear as much about them anymore. They don't have

368
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: a roster of major leaguers. They have talent though, I

369
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: mean they've even got a four year old player who's

370
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 2: the all time leader in home runs. Afraid of de

371
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: spawn ye. And I'm glad you mentioned the US. If

372
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: you recall three years ago Mexico beat the USA, they

373
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: got to a seven to one lead. Both of them

374
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: advanced to the you know, out of pool play with

375
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: you know, Japan winning the whole thing. But could you see,

376
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: i mean, two teams advanced or many pool. Who's the

377
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: dark horse of any of these pools that you think

378
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: could honestly surprise?

379
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so for that, I'm going to go to

380
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 3: pool d Venezuela, who sits in the Dominicans pool. The

381
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: Dominicans obviously are the favorite and uh in that pool,

382
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 3: but Venezuela's right behind him. Venezuela has their own high

383
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: percentage of major league players there, and that's a pool

384
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 3: that's wide open. But between Venezuela and the Dominicans, that's

385
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 3: where I think we could get a surprise, and Venezuela

386
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 3: might just surprise people coming out of that pool. And

387
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: again Venezuela to win the whole thing nine to one.

388
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: If you're looking for some deep ods, that might be

389
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 3: a decent dark horse in that Dominican in the Saint

390
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 3: pool as the Dominicans, you.

391
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: Bring up a great point. Mark your calendar for March eleventh,

392
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 2: which is a week from Tuesday, eight o'clock Eastern. The

393
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: best game of Pool D will probably be the Dominican

394
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 2: Republic versus Venezuela. And you're right, don't go to sleep

395
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: on Venezuela. They've got Ronald Cuna Junior. And what I

396
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 2: find interesting is their hitting coach is Miguel Carberr and

397
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: their pitching coaches Johann Santana. So every one of these teams,

398
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: it just blows me away. It's a who's who you know,

399
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: Madame Tussa's museum of players in the World Class is

400
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: going to look much different. Let's get to the final four.

401
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 2: Who have you got at your final four, lou and

402
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: who have you got in the final game and winning it?

403
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not the biggest basketball fan out there, but

404
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 3: I will say this, I think as far as as uh,

405
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 3: looking at final four teams at this juncture, I don't

406
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: know who's gonna beat Florida, Bernie.

407
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 2: I meant, I meant, I apologize. I meant the final

408
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 2: four the in the World Baseball Classic, and then the

409
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 2: final game, final game, then clarifying.

410
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, because basketball surely not not my

411
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: cup of tea. So Final four in the World Baseball Classic,

412
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to call it gonna be United States, Puerto Rico, Japan,

413
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: and I'm going to use Venezuela as the long shot.

414
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: Wow.

415
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 3: Sometimes sometimes those uh South American teams uh as tight

416
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 3: as Japan can be as a team, sometimes the Dominican

417
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 3: teams can be a little loosey goosey, And so I'm

418
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: going to use the surprise pick Venezuela in POOLB to

419
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: overcome the Dominicans. I say that partially because I already

420
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 3: had Japan wagered and I'd rather see Japan face to

421
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: Venezuela than the Dominicans.

422
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: One of the things it makes his tournament so interesting

423
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: is there's been five of them. Japan's won three, the

424
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: US is only one once, and they got to the

425
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: finals three years ago. We talked about earlier Mike Chuck

426
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: getting struck off by show He Dominican won the other one,

427
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: and again Japan three, Dominican one, and the United States won.

428
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 2: So I think it's I think it's honestly pretty wide open,

429
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 2: and it's gonna come down to pitching. Lou bring us

430
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: up to date. There's some interesting UFC matchups coming up,

431
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: and those are always fun to talk about. Give us

432
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 2: your thoughts on those, well.

433
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: I appreciate you. Let me talk a couple of minutes

434
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: about the UFC. In fact, we just had a card today,

435
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 3: relatively obscure card from me Mexico City. But next week

436
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 3: is UFC three twenty six, and that is the BMF

437
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 3: the Bad Mamma Jama title fight between Max Holloway and

438
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: Charles Olivierira. This is a rematch of a fight from

439
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: maybe nine or ten years ago that at that time

440
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 3: Olivierira was kind of known for when it got real,

441
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 3: real hot in the kitchen, he didn't seem to do

442
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 3: very well, and in the fight against Holloway early in

443
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 3: the first round there was some form of esophagal problem

444
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: that forced the fight to be over inside of a

445
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: couple of minutes. No one ever knew what happened. To

446
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 3: this day, no one knows what happened. What has happened

447
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: is that Olivira, over the course of that last decade

448
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: has come around and changed that dialogue on himself. He

449
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: is a legitimate mixed martial artist and he can strike

450
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: as well as grapple. Holloway is arguably the goat of

451
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: the featherweight division, now fighting at one hundred and fifty

452
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: five pounds. This fight will be competed at one hundred

453
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: and fifty five pounds. Currently, Holloway is a minus two

454
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 3: ten or so favored against Olavera in that fight next week,

455
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: And I would encourage anyone that wants to watch a

456
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: really awesome, highly competitive fight between two skilled fighters tune

457
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 3: into that fight. And I would also say that Max

458
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 3: Holloway and I'm not a favorite vetter. Max Holloway at

459
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: minus two dollars or minus two ten at this point

460
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: in time represents value because I believe that by the

461
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 3: time the fight goes off, Halloway will be two fifty

462
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: or above.

463

485
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: are twenty one minutes away from the midnight hour from

486
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 2: where I sit here in Las Vegas. As you know,

487
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: the clock will strike midnight literally and will be in

488
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: the month of March, although a lot of my audience

489
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: around the country is already in the month of March.

490
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: Eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six six three sixty nine,

491
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: eight seven, seven ninety nine. On Fox. It's the callers

492
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: who make the midnight hour what it is. And I'm

493
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: particularly looking forward to tonight because tonight is not going

494
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: to be you know, real serious topics with They're going

495
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: to be a little fun, a little perspective, a little

496
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 2: introspection on these three topics, and a lot of personal opinions.

497
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: And you know, you can't really disagree with an opinion.

498
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: An opinion is an opinion, and that's I think will

499
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: be the remaining theme between these three topics tonight. But

500
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: we'll get that teed up here coming up in twenty minutes.

501

503
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: from where you sit, perhaps the same, but figuratively it's

00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: nine six six three sixty nine eight seven seven ninety

521
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: nine on Fox we begin with the aftermath of Canada

522
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: USA Hockey. I have to I want to get my

523
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: audience's views. You know, one of the great traditions in

524
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 2: hockey is the handshake line at the end of the

525
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup. These guys beat the crap out of each

526
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: other for two weeks and then they shake hands. I've

527
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: covered all the major sports, and the truth of the

528
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: matter is the hockey players are the nicest. They're gentlemen.

529
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,239
Speaker 2: There's something about them. I don't need to go into that.

530
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: Just take my word for it. But there were tensions

531
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: after the gold medal game in which the USA beat

532
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: Canada in overtime, and I'm tired of it. Officiating complaints,

533
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 2: trolling media comments. A Canadian sports host by the name

534
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: of J. D. Bunkus. He basically said any American celebrating

535
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: that win was quote a casual who doesn't know. He

536
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 2: suggested the victory was unearned due to circumstances. You know

537
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: the Canadian coach, he's a good coach too. He coaches

538
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: in Florida, John Cooper, not John Cooper mellen camp. And

539
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: he turned into John Cooper mellen heead here. He said

540
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: the three on three overtime format used it as an

541
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: excue for the loss, as opposed to giving full credit

542
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: to the Americans. So, by the way, the Canadians won

543
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: two overtime games just to get to the Gold Cup game,

544
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: and even the women's team defeated Canada and overtime on

545
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 2: Megan Keller's game winner. I don't feel that the comments

546
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: made were worthy of the dignity and the pomp and

547
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: circumstance of the Olympics, and the US team got no respect,

548
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: and that bothered me. I want to hear the reaction

549
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 2: from my callers. Eight seven, seven, nine, nine sixty six,

550
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 2: three sixty nine. What was going through your mind when

551
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 2: you were hearing the reactions from the Canadian folks. It's

552
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: to their frustration and the USA is two to one

553
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: overtime gold medal win, you know, a gimmick win. Controversial

554
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: officiating right on down the line. I don't need to

555
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: go through the entire litany. By the way, we have

556
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 2: good callers, good listeners in Canada too. I want to

557
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: hear from you. And remember, remember now, the most boring

558
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: conversations are when everybody agrees, So I'm expecting to get

559
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: at least one call, whereas yeah, no, the Canadians had

560
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 2: a right to bitch. We don't like the way it is,

561
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 2: we don't like this. If we played them ten times,

562
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 2: we'd beat a man that whatever bring it, don't be bashful.

563
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: You will not be shot down for your opinions. I

564
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 2: want this to be a round table conversation like we

565
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 2: have every midnight hour, and the truth of the matter

566
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 2: is the more provocative, the more just agreements. I've just

567
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,479
Speaker 2: given you my opinion in the way that it ended.

568
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 2: And this didn't happen in nineteen eighty when the US

569
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: beat Russia the Soviet Union, and you get my drift.

570
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: I don't need to be labor that part of it.

571
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: The second topic, and I can just about tell what

572
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: he's going to be the overriding reaction here. But you

573
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 2: never know, because as you've heard me see a thousand times,

574
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 2: we are at society that's enamored with gladiator sports. We

575
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: have since the beginning of time. And yes it's been quote,

576
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: well it's been eleven years in May first, twenty fifteen

577
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: since the quote fight of the Century between Floyd Mayweather

578
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 2: Junior and Manupaccio. Yes, it was the highest revenue pay

579
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 2: per view in history. They're going to fight again here

580
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas in September September nineteenth, I believe at

581
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,959
Speaker 2: the sphere in Las Vegas eleven years later, now Floyd's fifty.

582
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: You know, there are actually storylines here. They're going to

583
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: count on the record. Floyd is putting his fifty. You

584
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: oh this girl, you know lost record on the line.

585
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 2: And I believe on very good sources that prior to

586
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 2: the fight in twenty fifteen, Pactio did have a shoulder issue.

587
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: He was not one hundred percent, but they were too

588
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 2: deep into it to change the fight. Whether that's true,

589
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: I'll never know. Floyd won fairne square. It was not

590
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 2: a fight for the Agenes. It was not exactly Hagler

591
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 2: Hearns or Hagler Leonard. No matter how you feel about Floyd, yes,

592
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 2: he's a defensive fighter. He's never really won the large,

593
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 2: the buying large, the public over because he's not a finisher.

594
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: He's not a crowd pleaser. But he was taught by

595
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: his uncle. His sport is called boxing, not punching. And

596
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 2: if you learned defense, and Floyd's defense is exquisite, you

597
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: put him in the eighties. Would he have beaten Hearns, Hagler,

598
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: Sugar Ray, Leonard, Roberto Duran, Aaron Pryor. I don't know.

599
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: He might not have beaten any of those guys, But

600
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: what does it matter. He's gonna fight pack you again.

601
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch. I get a kick out of the

602
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 2: people who are sanctimonious and this is like in its

603
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 2: affront to their sensibilities. So give me your thoughts. Are

604
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: you going to watch the fight? Are you going to

605
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 2: watch the fight?

606
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 5: So?

607
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: Number one Canada wining USA. Gold kind of belies the

608
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: great tradition of shaking hands. You've heard all the reasons

609
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 2: I gave. How did you feel about that? Number two

610
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 2: Floyd and Manny here we go again. There's a lot

611
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 2: of skepticism. There's concerns over age, et cetera. There will

612
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: pass their prime, their greatness is gone. It's you know,

613
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: it's it's one of those situations. You know, you'll you'll

614
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 2: see people on Twitter. Oh yeah, suckers, good luck pay

615
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: for that. What it's gonna be on Netflix? Okay, three

616
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five million people I think subscribe to

617
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 2: networks Netflix worldwide, so they're gonna have an audience. Number three,

618
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a fun One years ago Chris

619
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 2: Webber got excoriated just put twenty years ago, did a

620
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 2: topic on this in Detroit. He for ketchup on a

621
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: steak and a famous New York City restaurant. Right, and

622
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 2: it was well the debate, Well, he paid for it,

623
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: he can do whatever he wants. A good buddy of

624
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: mine this week said he was going to a restaurant

625
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 2: in New York City. He said, what about a one?

626
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 2: I said, Look, you're paying for the steak. You put

627
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 2: whatever you want. Just know this that whatever you put

628
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 2: a one on, it's gonna taste like a one. You

629
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: put it on a hamburger, it's gonna taste like a one.

630
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: You put it on a hot dog, it's gonna taste

631
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: like a one. You put it on an old boot,

632
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 2: it's gonna taste like a one. So if you put

633
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: it on a ninety dollars steak, it's gonna taste like

634
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: a one, which defeats the purpose. But if you live

635
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 2: out you want to live baby, This is America. So

636
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: are you one of those people that are you know,

637
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: take a serious defense if someone does that a want

638
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 2: or ketch up on a steak or is it like, hey,

639
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 2: they paid for it. So those are your three topics.

640
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 2: Canada not winning the gold Floyd Maywetter versus Maddie in

641
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:53,600

651
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: lines are lining up. Let's reset the topics. Number One,

652
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 2: I don't like the way Canada and their peeps reacted

653
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 2: after losing to the USA and the Gold. Canadian sports

654
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 2: host JD. Bunkus said things like if you celebrate that

655
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 2: when you're a casual who does no punk, all right,

656
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: that's one of many things that's set me off. Give

657
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 2: me your thoughts how you reacted to that. Number two,

658
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: here we go Floyd Mannie again, eleven years after the

659
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: quote unquote fight of the Century. But we're a nation

660
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 2: that's infatuated with gladiator sports. Do you make fun of

661
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: us or will you partake and finally number three, you

662
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 2: pay ninety dollars for a stake at Smith that will. Well,

663
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: you can put a one and if you want or

664
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 2: catch up. But remember, if you put a one on

665
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 2: a boot, it's going to taste like a one, So

666
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 2: why would you do that. It's time for the ben

667
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 2: that Hour. All right, we go to the great coping

668
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: wealth of Massachusetts where Jim joins us. Jim, you're back

669
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 2: in your familiar leadoff role tonight, get it started, buddy.

670
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 6: Thanks Bernie. Hey, as far as the Canada and the

671
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 6: USA game, you know, you're right, those guys are really

672
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 6: class class people, the ones that play hockey, because you know,

673
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 6: when the Devils are having their home game and they

674
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 6: would share the guy you know, for the the game

675
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 6: winning goal and he skates over to the save his

676
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 6: bench and pulls out the guy that was on the

677
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 6: team with him and skated around the ice.

678
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

679
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 6: If that ain't classy stuff, I don't know what is,

680
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 6: you know. And as far as Canada winding and crying,

681
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 6: that has more to do with politics between the US

682
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 6: and Canada, and I don't think that has anything to

683
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 6: do with the game. But if you want to look

684
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 6: at the game, like you said, those hockey guys, they're

685
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 6: really class act. They always sign on autographs. They don't

686
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,479
Speaker 6: push people away. You know, it doesn't matter what the team,

687
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 6: it is just stuff about him. And when when those

688
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 6: two skated around together, I'm two different teams, you know,

689
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 6: way and everybody's screaming in USA there the jersey. I

690
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 6: thought that was one of the greatest things I've ever

691
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 6: seen in my life.

692
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 2: You know. And I covered some great Red Wings teams

693
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: for years. And whether it's their background where they grew up,

694
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 2: they're they're very humble guys. And like I said, Jim, look,

695
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 2: one of the great traditions is the shaking of hands

696
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: in game after a Stanley Cup Finals over. But this

697
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: just ended with a sour taste in my mouth. All right,

698
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Pakia Mayweather.

699
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 6: Pakia Mayweather. I never liked Mayweather. You know, he's in

700
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 6: a quiet taste. I guess I didn't like it. But Paki,

701
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 6: how when he was in a trying I mean, you

702
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 6: had to play the tape back five times just to

703
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 6: see the punch that he knocked the guy out with

704
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 6: because you couldn't see it in real time, and even

705
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 6: when it was.

706
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 7: In full emotion.

707
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 6: You still didn't see it. I wish you could have

708
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 6: a little bit of a flashback, just one punch.

709
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 2: See we might have that. Are you gonna watch the fight?

710
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 4: Er?

711
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 2: Do you tell me your nose that? Like a lot

712
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 2: of folks are gonna No.

713
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 6: I'm gonna watch it just because I'm a I'm a

714
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 6: pack I'm gonna know. I just want to I just

715
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 6: wanted to reach back and a bag of tricks to

716
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 6: full something out of the chives. I'd just like to

717
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 6: see one good shot.

718
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 7: It's like, did I just see that?

719
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 6: I gotta play that back again?

720
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 8: You know?

721
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:34,959
Speaker 9: Yeah?

722
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 2: No, And and Floyd's putting his fifty er old record online

723
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: finally a one or catch up on steak if you

724
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 2: go to Smith and Lanski's, spend one hundred bucks? Is

725
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: at You're right? Are you? Are you summing your nose

726
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 2: at the process.

727
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 6: I'm telling him, I nose that the process. I'm gonna

728
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 6: pay a hundred dollars steak. I'm gonna eat the way

729
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 6: they they Yeah, they observed it.

730
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 9: You know, maybe it's maybe.

731
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 6: A tad salt and pepper, but if you're paying for it,

732
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 6: it's their specialty. So eat it if you like it

733
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 6: you're gonna go back again if you know, well, scratch

734
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 6: that place off my list, you know. But no, I

735
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 6: wouldn't tell I wouldn't touch it with anything, Bernie, not

736
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 6: at all, you know. And that's one thing off the

737
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 6: off the cuff, Bernie. Did you see all those people

738
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 6: like Megan Repeato in them criticizing the hockey team for

739
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 6: going to the White House, and then you know, having

740
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 6: the CIA guy in there, Well, where are these people

741
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 6: coming from? Just enjoy the moment, just because no one

742
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 6: you know, kissed your rear in and they're kissing them.

743
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 6: You know, why do you think that is? You know,

744
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 6: look in the mirror. But oh, some of the disdain

745
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 6: that people have for us winning and the way we

746
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 6: did and and you know, the guys stopped at forty

747
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 6: one and forty two shots.

748
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 2: I closed my show last week. Jim, Jim, great stuff.

749
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 2: And all I can say is God bless America. Everybody

750
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: in this country has the right to make a damn

751
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 2: fool of themselves. A lot of people take advantage of it.

752
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 2: Rick and Austin joined us. Welcome in, Rick, how are you?

753
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 10: I'm doing great? Bernie? When it comes to the Canada

754
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 10: USA Hockey game. I think the Chucker brothers, the both

755
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 10: of the Kachucks and McDavid never beating them is the

756
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 10: reason why it was a very salty finish. I think

757
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 10: both these teams hate each other, and I was okay

758
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 10: with not people coming away with a great feeling at

759
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 10: the end, like the USA earned that victory and Canada

760
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 10: was this and I feel like they should be And

761
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 10: that's kind of what you want.

762
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 2: Well, that's fair.

763
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 6: You know.

764
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 2: They maybe they believe they had a god given right

765
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: to win, but that's the beauty of sports. It's going

766
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 2: to be decided on the field, or the ice or

767
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 2: the court. What are your thoughts on Floyd Mayweather? Many Pakia?

768
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 2: Will you watch it?

769
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 10: I'll watch it for free. I definitely won't.

770
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 3: Pay for it.

771
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 2: What's on Netflix? If you have Netflix, you're gonna get it.

772
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 10: Oh then yeah, they all tune in. But I definitely

773
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 10: would not pay for that fight, nor will I bet

774
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 10: on it.

775
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 2: All right, that's fair. What are your thoughts?

776
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 11: What do you think the line that.

777
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 2: I'll pull it up later? I don't know if they

778
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 2: put a line out on it yet.

779
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, you guess.

780
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 2: My guess is Floyd will be a favorite. A slight

781
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 2: favorite maybe minus one fifty one twenty five in that neighborhood.

782
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm guessing. I'm guessing just because. But look, Pacchio's shoulder

783
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 2: was not great the first time.

784
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, that was like fifteen years ago, right, it was eleven.

785
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 2: Years ago, May first, two thousand and fifteen. All right,

786
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 2: So Chris Weber once went into a New York steakhouse

787
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 2: brought ketchup. They gave him a hard time. These are

788
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 2: my thoughts. I mean, you paid for it, You do

789
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 2: what you want. But like like Jim said, you know,

790
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 2: you put ayone on. You know, whatever you put a

791
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 2: one is gonna take. Like, whatever you put a one on,

792
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 2: it's gonna taste like a one, even an old boot.

793
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

794
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 10: I mean I would not go out to Night's teakhouse

795
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 10: that person ever.

796
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 8: Again, Yeah, you're one time with day one.

797
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 10: I know what you're all about. You don't enjoy.

798
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 3: Food the right way.

799
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 10: You don't deserve to be paying Night that. It's criminal

800
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 10: that I allow you to pay ninety dollars for a

801
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 10: stake and put a one on it.

802
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. It defeats the purpose, thanks a

803
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: lot rick, it defeats the purpose of fine dining. My

804
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 2: wife and I do it all the time. I've been

805

Speaker 2: to all the major steakhouses in the country everyone, Peter

806

00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 2: And so yeah, I'm with you one hundred percent. Spockxwed

809
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: in Oregon. My man, here it comes letter Rip, Letter Rip.

810
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 9: Well, you know, we're having a boiler maker here, so

811
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 9: this is kind of where you go.

812
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 2: Little whiskey and beer. Huh, Purdue Purdue, or just just

813
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: for the hell of.

814
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 9: It, you know, Well, we're having a we're having a

815
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 9: little ipa and eagle rare Bourbons. So that's that's a

816
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 9: very nice combination. But if I remember right, last year,

817
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 9: there was like this four team hockey playofation in it

818
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 9: was all over it, go ahead, No, you're right.

819
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 2: It was called the Four Nations in Canada beat the US.

820
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 9: Yeah, and they just went all you can't take our

821
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 9: game and all this crap, and they were dumping on

822
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 9: us all and.

823
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 12: So a little little little.

824
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 9: Justice in the back and so they wanted to get

825
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 9: all butt hurt, but we didn't. We didn't get butt

826
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 9: hurt and uh, you know, Canada's got some weak sauce,

827
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 9: which we'll talk about as far as the state goes later.

828
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 9: But yeah, I think Canada's a bunch of cry babies.

829
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 9: They're they're doing technicals. Oh we didn't get the three Yeah,

830
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 9: screw them.

831
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 2: So even though they'd want to, even though they'd want

832
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 2: a quarter final and semi final game in overtime, yes.

833
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Put up or shut up.

834
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 9: You get one chance of the Olympics and that's the

835
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 9: way it goes.

836
00:48:59,120 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 11: Yeah.

837
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 2: So, by the way, by the way, I'm glad you

838
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 2: brought up four nation Spock that was an overtime game

839
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 2: last year as well that Canada won three to two.

840
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 2: Just say yeah, go ahead, just say it.

841
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 9: So Floyd and Manny Man. You know, I love Manpacciel.

842
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 9: We've discussed him before and he's a great guy. Floyd.

843
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 9: You know, I don't have a problem with the way

844
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 9: he wins. It's called the sweet science for a reason.

845
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 2: That's right.

846
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 9: He did he did it the way he could. He

847
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 9: got fifty You. Oh, I'm not going to take anything

848
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 9: away from Floyd Mayweather, whether I like the way he

849
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 9: fights or not. Hey, he won and I'm looking forward

850
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 9: to the fight. I wish it wasn't on Netflix. I

851
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 9: cut Netflix out of my rotation after they put this

852
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 9: thing called Qud's on, which I thought was really, really nasty,

853
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 9: and it was the reason for me to drop Netflix.

854
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 9: So if I could pay for it to see somewhere else,

855
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 9: I would do it.

856
00:49:53,280 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 2: So all right, fair enough your thoughts on on on stage? Yeah, yes,

857
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 2: on toppings on the steak.

858
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 9: Steaks is God's gift to human beings number one. And

859
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 9: my steak would have Bernei sauce and lobster medallion on it,

860
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 9: and we have it. We have it up Oscar. And

861
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 9: if you're going to have ketchup on a steak, make

862
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,439
Speaker 9: sure it's Portland ketchup. That's the best ketchup anywhere. Don't

863
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 9: have any of this other cheap crap. And that is

864
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 9: the where that should be. I mean, people put coke

865
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 9: and wine and I don't know how how they hell

866
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 9: they drink wine with that, and it's it's a travesty.

867
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 9: And you need to put the best steak in your

868
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,280
Speaker 9: mouth that you can. It's for me, It's a ribbi

869
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 9: with a lobster medallion and some Bernese sauce and it

870
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 9: is just heaven and I'll go out with that, all.

871
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 2: Right, buddy, enjoy your boiler maker. Give my best to

872
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 2: a Geene Katie who has a court named after him

873
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 2: in West Lafayette, even though I never even made a

874
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 2: final four. Real quickly, just I actually have some interest

875
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 2: in this fight because Floyd's feel do you know many

876
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 2: Pakia wants redemption. He maintained his shoulder injury hindered his

877
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 2: performance in twenty fifteen and wants to fight. And when

878
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: they were going to do this, Mayweather initially wanted just

879
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 2: an exhibition match. Packet refused. Okay, he said, no, We're

880
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: going to do a professional twelve round sanction about this

881
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 2: is going to count. So you know this is actually

882
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 2: sort of half ass considered a rematch even though it's

883
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 2: well eleven years later. You might not agree with me, though,

884
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 2: Mark and Maryland joined.

885
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,439
Speaker 8: Just welcome in Mark, Hey Burney, you're the best brother,

886
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,959
Speaker 8: Thank you, sir. The first topic refreshmal memory. The first

887
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 8: topic was well, yeah, well.

888
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 2: So in the aftermath of Canada USA, I thought Canada

889
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 2: was a little sour and their unwillingness to give the

890
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 2: USA credit for winning the Gold.

891
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 8: Okay, they're just whiners, sore sports. We beat them fair

892
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 8: and square. It's it's become one of the greatest rivalries

893
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 8: in sports, and that's what it's all about. That's all.

894
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 8: We beat them and they're having it. It's a tough

895
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 8: pill to swallow, but you got to beat fair and square.

896
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 7: Live with it.

897
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 8: This is nothing but South grapes and I hate it.

898
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 2: Okay, hashtag facts and star grapes is what it is,

899
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 2: all right, man, So your thoughts on many Manny and

900
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 2: Floyd getting it on again September nineteenth.

901
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 8: It's ridiculous. It's trash board.

902
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 6: Who has been there?

903
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 8: Two Hall of famers, don't get me wrong, but it's

904
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:31,720
Speaker 8: just a money grab.

905
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 6: You know.

906
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 8: I'm gonna watch it for the hell of it, but

907
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 8: it's trash boards. I mean, these guys are done. You

908
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 8: pass your prime. But this is the problem with boxing.

909
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 8: This is why it'll never return to the glory days.

910
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 8: Haggler Leonard. Yeah, you know, I'm sixty five and I'm

911
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 8: a boxing guru.

912
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 6: I give you know.

913
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 8: I love both of them. I love Pachi out more,

914
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 8: but I can't take anything away from Floyd. He's a

915
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 8: quiet taste. He's a money man. He's a showman and

916
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 8: he makes money, but it's just a money grab and

917
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 8: it's just a deterioration of boxing. And it's just sad, sad,

918
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 8: tad sad. And I'm a big time steak lover. I mean,

919
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 8: you know, I don't care whatever condiments you put on it.

920
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 8: Whatever you like is what you like. So you know

921
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 8: that's how I stand on that.

922
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff? And uh I the eighties, Mark,

923
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 2: I believe were just a glorious decade for boxing. And

924
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 2: I've often wondered, how would Floyd really have done against

925
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 2: Sugar Ray Leonard or Aaron Pryor or or Roberto Duran,

926
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,359
Speaker 2: Thomas Earns or Haggling. He might have lost all five

927
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 2: of them.

928
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 8: I'm going to tell you right now. He wouldn't be

929
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 8: Sugar Ray. That's for dad.

930
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 2: No, he's not gonna be Durant hag lahell No, he's

931
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 2: too big for him.

932
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 8: Hens.

933
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 13: I don't know if he be will Freido Benitez.

934
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 8: Okay, And I'm gonna.

935
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 9: Go even further.

936
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 8: He's not gonna be pronoun sweet Pee Whittaker.

937
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 9: There you go, Okay, I'll tell you what that was.

Speaker 2: in Frisco, Texas or San Francisco, California.

954
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 5: I'm in Frisco, Texas, all right.

955
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 2: North Dallas, Nice AIA, go ahead, buddy.

956
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 5: So I am a casual hockey fan. I'm nothing like

957
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 5: a one of you know, a Canadian hockey fan, because

958
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 5: I guess it's about all they got to watch up there.

959
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 5: But my opinion is is if they got a problem

960
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 5: with it, then don't get don't get off the bus.

961
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 5: You know, I really enjoyed watching the Olympics, so I'm

962
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 5: enjoyed watching the US when gold this year. And you know,

963
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 5: I just feel like, you know the rules before you

964
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 5: get off the bus and get in the ice rink,

965
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 5: and you know, they lost.

966
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's not a good look. Yeah my opinion.

967
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 5: If they've got if they really feel how they feel,

968
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 5: then called the Olympic team from Canada that won when

969
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 5: Crosby shot the golden goal and won the gold medal.

970
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 5: Have them called that team and having all the gold

971
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 5: medals back and take it off the record.

972
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they won the Four Nations tournament last year

973
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 2: in overtime. So anyway, continuing on Floyd versus Manny in November,

974
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 2: will you watched you have interest?

975
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 7: I'm interested.

976
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:20,719
Speaker 13: I'll be honest with you.

977
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 5: This is the person I heard about it that they're fighting,

978
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 5: and it's somewhat nostalgic. I remember exactly where I was

979
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 5: when I watched that fight. I was with some really

980
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 5: good friends that I wanted to live down here. They

981
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 5: moved up to New Jersey, and I'll definitely watch it.

982
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 5: I know they're not the fighters they used to be,

983
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 5: but you know, they both aged the same, and maybe

984
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 5: they'll put on a good show for us and there

985
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 5: may be some fireworks.

986
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 6: Who knows, you will you know.

987
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 2: What you never know? You know, pak Yow's forty seven. Now,

988
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 2: let's remember that George Foreman was forty seven back in

989
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety four when he shocked the world and beat

990
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 2: Michael Moore. So, in boxing, anything happens. I trained for

991
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 2: a long time. I've been out of it for two

992
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 2: or three years now, but I've been in the ring,

993
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 2: and anything can happen when you get in the ring.

994
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 2: So I appreciate your perspective, your thoughts on you know,

995
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 2: putting ketchup or or a one on a steak.

996
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:15,720
Speaker 5: Well, I grew up on a ranch and I remember

997
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 5: when I was a little kid, I had a steak

998
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 5: and my stepdad looked across the table at me when

999
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 5: I put a once off on my steak, and he

1000
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 5: goes and he just gave me this look that said,

1001
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 5: you should never do that again if you really want

1002
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 5: to grow up in this house.

1003
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 2: So I never did it.

1004
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 5: I never did it again, and I've learned to enjoy

1005
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 5: steak the way it's cooked.

1006
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 2: Hey, good stuff. Appreciate your thoughts Dale, don't be a stranger.

1007
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 2: We do this every weekend, you know, and again for

1008
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 2: what it's worth, just to cover all bases. I get it.

1009
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 2: If you go to Smith Vilenski, you's paid ninety bucks

1010
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 2: for a steak. You paid for it. Do what you want,

1011
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 2: but remember, whatever you put a one on is going

1012
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 2: to taste like a one that includes an old boot,

1013
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 2: a hot dog, a hamburger, anything. So you're just you're

1014
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 2: killing it. You're killing the vibe. Martin and Orange, my man,

1015
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 2: let her rip.

1016
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 14: Greetings and salutations.

1017
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 9: Bernie.

1018
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 14: Let me just sneak up to Canada right now. Canada,

1019
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 14: suck it up. Loss this happened, take it and take it.

1020
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 15: You know what, what this just proved to me, Bernie

1021
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 15: is nobody really cares about hockey. Nobody really cares about

1022
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,959
Speaker 15: gold medal hockey games. In fact, no one even cares

1023
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 15: about the Winter Olympics. The only thing the Winner Olympics

1024
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 15: is good for is where a guy like me every

1025
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 15: four years can sit on his pockets and go, yeah,

1026
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 15: I think I can meddle in that sport. I think

1027
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 15: I can meddle in that one too.

1028
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 9: Well.

1029
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, Martin, you know you know, I

1030
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 2: love you like a fat kid love cake. But twenty

1031
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 2: one million people watched the gold medal game between USA

1032
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 2: and Canada. Twenty six many people turn in just for

1033
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 2: the overtime. Now the half plan will get you. I

1034
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 2: don't know how the hell you get involved in that sport.

1035
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 6: But you know.

1036
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 14: That's and that's a worldwide number, Bernie's that's a worldwide number.

1037
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 14: That's just not the US.

1038
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 12: Is that just a US?

1039
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: No, I don't know. I'm pretty sure it's worldwide. But

1040
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 2: but you had to but that was just across NBC,

1041
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 2: Pacock and USA network. But but you know, regardless, I

1042
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 2: mean it's it's that's a big number.

1043
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 15: So go ahead, Mayweather and pack Yo, yep, of course

1044
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,919
Speaker 15: I'm gonna watch, even though I know what's gonna happen.

1045
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 14: Even though I know what's gonna happen.

1046
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 13: He does.

1047
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 3: He's a sweet science.

1048
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 14: He's the ultimate counterpuncher, He's the ultimate defender. Pack yaw

1049
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 14: comes straightforward. All I gotta tell is this is that

1050
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 14: even in the Golden era, I can say I'm always

1051
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 14: team Money, but Duran, I don't know.

1052
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 8: Ray Leonard.

1053
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 14: I think he could take hers. I think he can

1054
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 14: taking Haggard, I think he can take.

1055
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 13: How about Rocky Ball, I think I can keep Rocky.

1056
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Lane.

1057
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 14: He can't tea Drago, I'll tell you no, No, he.

1058
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 2: Must break you. How about Clever Lane.

1059
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 14: Let me tell you one thing about Clever If he

1060
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 14: trains alone, and he'll win the title alone, So I

1061
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 14: think he.

1062
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 8: Can probably get Mayweather.

1063
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to steak. How do you like

1064
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 2: your steak? Do you put anyone or catch upon it?

1065
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 2: If you're at Smith and Lenski's or Peter Lugers or

1066
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 2: Ruth Chris, No, No, a.

1067
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 14: Little bit of salt, and my snake steak stays naked.

1068
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 3: Let me tell you a little story.

1069
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 2: When I was growing up, Bernie, Okay, I was.

1070
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 14: I was about seven years old, and I walked.

1071
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 3: Into the kitchen and I've seen my dad and he

1072
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 3: was on one and seen him poorn ketchup all over

1073
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 3: a steak, and.

1074
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 14: I must have got the steak. I look at him,

1075
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 14: and he looks at me and and he's like, what

1076
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 14: are you looking at? And I like to explain to me.

1077
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 14: It was like Gus Ring when he was talking to

1078
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 14: them like, uh Hett, your sala monk. I'm like, what

1079
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 14: type of man, let's catch up on a steak.

1080
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 13: No type of man at all.

1081
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 14: Let me just say this, Bernie, I got the beating

1082
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 14: of my life last night. That night I was five

1083
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 14: years old. I got the beating in my life. But

1084
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 14: in the back of my head, I said, you know what,

1085
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 14: screw it? Everybody taking it?

1086
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 2: Was your alcohol involved? Was your alcohol involved? Had you

1087
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 2: had the old man been into Grandpa's cough ser up

1088
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 2: that night? Is that possible, Bernie?

1089
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 5: You know, the.

1090
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 14: Grandma's copp medicine, the grandma's cough medicine. My dad used

1091
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 14: to like to get on one. But like I said, something,

1092
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 14: you gotta take the beating sometimes and then maybe well I'll.

1093
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 2: Tell you what. I'll tell you what. Miss uh. You know,

1094
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 2: I don't do a caller of the night or anything

1095
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 2: like that. But nice pull on, Hector Salamanca. Okay, that's

1096
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 2: that's breaking bad and that's a nice poll and a

1097
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 2: better call. So that's a nice pull on, Hector Salamanca.

1098
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 2: Might have to end it on that the great, great call.

Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate you taking time call in. What do

1108
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 2: you got for us, buds?

1109
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 12: Well, I think it's kind of sad because I feel

1110
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 12: like Canada is pulling out the old You know, there

1111
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 12: had to be something wrong in your own for us

1112
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 12: to lose exactly.

1113
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 8: No, I just I can't take that.

1114
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 12: It's like, you know, little kids, there had to be

1115
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 12: something wrong for us to lose this game.

1116
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 16: It really didn't happen.

1117
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like they had their god given right to

1118
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 2: win it, you know, and work with the casuals and

1119
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 2: goaltending doesn't matter. I heard some of the dumbest comments

1120
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 2: I've ever heard continue on, Oh that's okay.

1121
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 12: All the USA has to do is go scoreboard, Just

1122
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 12: point up the scoreboard.

1123
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 9: That's all that's aalts about.

1124
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,479
Speaker 2: By the way, you notice I got nothing against the Canucks. Okay,

1125
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 2: I lived in Detroit seventeen years right across the street

1126
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 2: from Windsor. Yeah, I want to Stanley Cuffs is ninety three.

1127
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 2: Don't blame it at us, not our fault continue on.

1128
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, So we talk about Floyd and Manny. I've been

1129
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 12: a lifelong boxing fan, and you know, the first match

1130
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 12: shit and you know, really ghet what we want edit

1131
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 12: to expectation minds. But I mean they're basically taking advantage

1132
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 12: of the landscape right down boxing right where sure we have,

1133
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 12: you know, a lot of these gimmick stuff. I just

1134
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 12: hope it's legit because we saw a few weeks ago

1135
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 12: what happens when you have a legit heavyweight boxer such

1136
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 12: as Anthony Joshua just punched Jake Paul into next week

1137
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 12: when it actually got real. So I just hope it's

1138
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 12: a legitimate event.

1139
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 2: I think I honestly, I think Manny's going to get

1140
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 2: after it. I really really do. For two reasons. I

1141
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 2: live in Vegas. The fight was in Vegas. Last time,

1142
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna be in Vegas. Manny Paccio allegedly had a

1143
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 2: serious had a shoulder issue and he believed he was

1144
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 2: compromised the first fight. He also wants to be the

1145
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 2: only one he Floyd into fifty and one, that's Pacchio's win.

1146
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 2: Pacchio has said that he wants Floyd to live with

1147
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 2: one loss and always remember who gave it to him.

1148
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 2: So I think Many's going to really bring it, and

1149
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 2: I think Floyd will too. I just just a gut feeling.

1150
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, And Many's last outing.

1151
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 16: You know, for all intent's purposes, he did all.

1152
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 6: Right where he was it that right?

1153
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 2: Now? Any thoughts on ketchup for a one on steak on?

1154
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, I do.

1155
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 12: If I'm taking my lady out and I'm paying ninety

1156
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 12: five dollars for a steak, she can put whatever she

1157
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 12: wants on it.

1158
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1159
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 2: I mean that's a pragmatic view if you paid for

1160
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 2: it fair enough. And it's all started a you know,

1161
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 2: twenty years ago is doing a show in Michigan and

1162
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 2: Chris Weber did that and got excoriated, and a buddy

1163
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:05,959
Speaker 2: of mine asked about a one, and I'm just thinking,

1164
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 2: you know what, you paid your money. It's just that

1165
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 2: for me, those are powerful. I mean, you know, ketchup

1166
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 2: is almost all sugar, right, and a one's powerful, So

1167
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 2: it just seems to kill good stuff. You get the

1168
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 2: last word.

1169
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 12: Anything else, Andy, see, I'll take Hines fifty seven.

1170
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 2: There you go. Don't be a stranger man. We do

1171
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 2: this every Saturday night into Sunday Morning, Jimmy and Boston.

1172
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging on, Bud, you're up next. Welcome in.

1173
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 17: Hey, Good morning, Burnie. Always a pleasure.

1174
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 2: How you doing good? Thank you, sir.

1175
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 9: Hey.

1176
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 17: Let me rattle a couple of things off for us.

1177
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 17: I want to spend most of my time on the

1178
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 17: Olympic stuff. Ketch, I mean, comes to my steak for you.

1179
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 17: The only I get the less steak I eat. Right,

1180
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 17: I'll tell you to me, a good steak stands on

1181
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 17: its own as long as a twelfth season, then we're

1182
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 17: good to go on that, you know, so we stick

1183
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 17: on so you can put whatever you want on care

1184
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 17: But for me, that's that's fine. As for the patio, Floyd, ye,

1185
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 17: I'll tell you truth that Bernie Fox is becoming more

1186
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 17: of aspectacle than the sport. And for them to sanction

1187
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 17: two geriatrics like this, they can never say they care

1188
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 17: about the health and welfare.

1189
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 13: Of the fighters.

1190
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 17: Now with that said, you know, if I if it's

1191
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 17: in front of me, I'll watch it and I will

1192
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 17: root for I'll flip the script I route to hot

1193
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 17: to Pachio back in the day. I'll root for Floyd

1194
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 17: because I appreciate I appreciate his stance on Israel and

1195
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 17: all that stuff. He's been the financially and politically in

1196
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 17: sport for them, So I'll support Floyd than that. But

1197
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 17: I worry about when they're gonna go too far and

1198
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 17: people are gonna get hurt and except a fight, now

1199
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 17: that's for the Olympic hockey goal. God love them. Congratulations.

1200
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 17: I'm all American, I'm all about America, Bernie and Uh.

1201
01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 17: I'm so proud of them, and I'm really proud that

1202
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 17: they want to the White House. And I hate when

1203
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 17: people use the White House. There they go or not go,

1204
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 17: because whether you avoids for the guy or not, the

1205
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 17: President calls as an honor and a privilege that I

1206
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 17: think everybody should go, whether you like the guy or not,

1207
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 17: you know that stuff. But his friends Canada, you know,

1208
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 17: they go on their way to tell you how nice

1209
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 17: they are and gracious they are. They make sure that

1210
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 17: they tell you that first before they.

1211
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 13: Even say hello to you. But then they always show.

1212
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 17: Their resentment from America and they always have this inferior

1213
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 17: arity complex, much like us Red Sox fans for many

1214
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 17: years had with the Yankees. You know what I'm saying.

1215
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 17: We always found a way to knock the Yankees, but

1216
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,160
Speaker 17: we always came in second, Bernie, you know. And the

1217
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 17: last thing I have to say is, of course Canada

1218
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 17: on paper is the better team, just like Soviet Russia

1219
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 17: or you know when they Jet bought up Baltimore. You know,

1220
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 17: the losing team never, I mean, the underdog is never

1221
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 17: the better team. They just happen to be the winning

1222
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 17: team that day.

1223
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 2: What's interesting. You know what's interesting, by the way, I'm

1224
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 2: glad you brought that up. I mean because the betting line,

1225
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 2: the betting line was basically even. Canada was like minus

1226
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 2: one oh five go ahead. But you're not wrong in

1227
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 2: terms of conventional wisdom, suggested that Canadians would beat him

1228
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 2: because they've had the US's number. Let's face it.

1229
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 17: Yeah, like you just like you know, Berti cod Read,

1230
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,200

1231
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 17: So in the end, you just count. You just counted.

1232
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 3: You count the chips to the end.

1233
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 17: So the the the Americans scored one more Baal, they

1234
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 17: won the game. It doesn't matter how stylish fits game was.

1235
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.

1236
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 17: You know, like I said, how many bets have you

1237
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 17: won with football? Were you you backdoor covered or everything?

1238
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 2: Great? Great, great point. They don't draw pictures in the scorecard.

1239
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 2: You know, winters, teal jokes, losers, shut up and deal.

1240
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

1241
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 17: Yeah, all you have to say, like I said, that's

1242
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 17: what makes the story great.

1243
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 13: Better team didn't win there, how, don't.

1244
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 17: Work a team, the fortune team, the blessed team, whatever

1245
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 17: you want to call it. And for candidates, it'd be

1246
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 17: like that doesn't hurt me at all. To the American

1247
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 17: it hurts them, hurts them.

1248
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 2: Party, you know, image agree, Jimmy, great stuff man, thanks

1249
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 2: for calling and appreciate you. And by the way, not

1250
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 2: for nothing, my good buddy Lee Latzig texted me the

1251
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 2: odds for Mayweather. The opening odds. Mayweather opened up minus

1252
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 2: one seventy five, which means you bet a buck seventy

1253
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 2: five to one one hundred Pacio plus one twenty five

1254
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 2: coming back. Also made a point the draw, which is

1255
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 2: not it's not a zero plus fourteen hundred if they draw,

1256
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 2: I think that's entirely a possibility. Entirely a possibility. Poppy

1257
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 2: in San Diego, you're up, Bud, what's up?

1258
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 13: Heyboddy? Yeah?

1259
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 11: Lin the Canadians, I'm tired of those Canadians and the

1260
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 11: hockey because they think they created the hockey and they're

1261
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 11: better than everyone.

1262
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 2: Know.

1263
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 11: Well, like your team was bad, whoa bo Let's go

1264
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 11: Team USA. You know they beat them, and I proud

1265
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 11: of that. I don't care. I want to hear those

1266
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 11: announcers onto the Manipaci on Mayweather. I really love that

1267
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 11: look Manipacer in your home state, Bernie, he fought in

1268
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 11: the MGM.

1269
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 7: He looked really.

1270
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 2: Really good in his last fight and it was recently.

1271
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was a tie, So he's looking really good

1272
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 11: compared to many man's looking really good compared to Floyd Mayweather.

1273
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 11: So me on that one. Uh, I really like Manipaccio

1274
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 11: his revenge by I thought he should have won the

1275
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,560
Speaker 11: first match and he got on, you know, but I

1276
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 11: think the reds give, you know, give it to Floyd

1277
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 11: Mayweather and his homestate in Vegas. So I mean I

1278
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 11: would take the chance on many Pacio plus one twenty five.

1279
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 11: I think he's gonna come out there. Even many Pacio

1280
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 11: says he wants to give him his first lock on

1281
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 11: his record. I think he'll do that, and so I'm

1282
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 11: going for team many Pakio on that one. So it's

1283
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 11: gonna be a good fight. Guys watching on Netflix likes

1284
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 11: you said, and you know on the steak, I mean, hey,

1285
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 11: I like steak just the way it is, but hey,

1286
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 11: if you want the best flavors, you don't want sweet

1287
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 11: and sour, combine it and try it. But hey, I'm

1288
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 11: not gonna waste money and a ninety dollars stake in

1289
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 11: doing that. So I personally think they're going to kind

1290
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 11: of respect, you know, with a person getting into take

1291

01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:57,920
Speaker 13: on the mantle. You know, I know NBC was trying

1379
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 13: to revive the Saturday you know, boxing matches, and I

1380
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 13: really think that they need to do it. Man, we

1381
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:06,600
Speaker 13: need to see young challenge. I'm sick of these retreads.

1382
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:10,679
Speaker 13: I'm sick of these exhibitions. Case Paul can go jump

1383
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 13: off of a cliff as far as I'm concerned, cliff

1384
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:16,839
Speaker 13: diving without a parachute. Man, Let's bring back the Golden

1385
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 13: age now, damn it. The money's there. We got the

1386
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 13: applete Supposedly the applets are the best ever.

1387
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 14: Well, let's see it, man, because all we're.

1388
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 13: Seeing is a bunch of baser.

1389
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 2: Yeah. You don't have the marquete names in this force

1390
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 2: not promoted, and you got what the alphabet soup of

1391
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 2: titles and who's who? Right you just it's it's confusing

1392
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 2: as all right now. Plus you don't have Don King, Man,

1393
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 2: where's Don Chan?

1394
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 19: Yeah?

1395
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 13: I was just gonna say, got hair straight up?

1396
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:46,799
Speaker 2: His hair sticks straight up for crying out loud.

1397
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,759
Speaker 13: When Don King and Bob Aaron were having their little battles.

1398
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 8: Man, oh that was the end.

1399
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 2: That was the best man.

1400
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 3: That was the end.

1401
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 13: Hey, Bernie, keep up the good work man, Love you.

1402
01:16:56,600 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 2: Brother, Appreciate you man. Well, thanks full in Southgate. Bring

1403
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 2: us home tonight, buddy.

1404
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 7: That was going on, Bernie Haggan.

1405
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 2: Welcome in, sir. Now is this your first time calling

1406
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:09,680
Speaker 2: the uh midnight Now?

1407
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 7: No, it's not repeat my bad. Well, okay, so as

1408
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 7: far as the first topic goes, you know, Canadians are

1409
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 7: just being short losers here. You know, they did the

1410
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 7: same thing when the Dodgers beat the Blue Jays and

1411
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:25,959
Speaker 7: said the team didn't.

1412
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 2: Win good point, didn't win good point.

1413
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 7: So you know, in this case, you know, Canada, you know,

1414
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 7: they just need to be happy with the silver medal,

1415
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 7: you know, and just stay quiet.

1416
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 2: Well, and it's what's funny. One of the other sports

1417
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 2: that Canadian won silver, Jesus, I forget the sport. And

1418
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 2: they said, well, silver shines just as bright as gold,

1419
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 2: so you can't have it both ways. Look, you're right,

1420
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 2: they're being sore losers in the story. All right, your

1421
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 2: thoughts on takiow Mayweather? Will you watch it?

1422
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 7: I will definitely be watching. It's gonna be the battle

1423
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 7: of the Grandpa's. You know, I have a I have

1424
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,759
Speaker 7: to believe that Floyda is having financial problems just because

1425
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 7: if there was ever a fighter you know that worries

1426
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 7: so much about the perfect record, you know, it would

1427
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:04,839
Speaker 7: be Mayweather.

1428
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 2: Right, he's very protective of that.

1429
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 7: Paciell just fought against Barrios, you know, and even though

1430
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 7: you gotta tie, you look good in there. And when

1431
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 7: was the last time bad Mayweather actually fought a real

1432
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,679
Speaker 7: sanction fighter and know that mattered? So I'm taking fine

1433
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 7: a while with plus one twenty five?

1434
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not wrong. And then finally you go pay

1435
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 2: one hundred bucks for a stake? Are you allowed to

1436
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 2: put a one or catch upon it if you're eight

1437
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 2: years older younger?

1438
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1439
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 7: But I mean hopefully, hopefully, hopefully you have so many

1440
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 7: in your life you know that loves you and teaches

1441
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 7: you right from wrong, because as a girl man, you

1442
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 7: can't be doing that kind of stuff.

1443
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 2: Hey, good, excellent call. Appreciate all the calls were good.

1444
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 2: Way to finish it up. Three Well Felipe. Look, thanks Felipe.

1445
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 2: You brought up a point that's been banned about. I

1446
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,600
Speaker 2: didn't know that I wanted to do coach this. But

1447
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 2: there are reports floating around and I have no idea

1448
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:08,639
Speaker 2: if they're confirmed, so relax people. But there are reports

1449
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 2: that Floyd may have some significant financial issues, some debts,

1450
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 2: some unpaid taxes, perhaps some lawsuits. Do I know, I

1451
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 2: don't know. I know he's earned a billion dollars in

1452
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 2: his career, and there are reports that float out there,

1453
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 2: and I don't just report things off the cuff for

1454
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 2: no reason, so I can't. It's not a zero, But

1455
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1456
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:32,600
Speaker 9: I don't know.

1457
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:34,600

Speaker 2: Sports Radio Studios take after three am Pacific, six a

1479
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 2: m Eastern. A ton of stuff to get to and

1480
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 2: what a week it was in the NBA and one

1481
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 2: particular team seemed to take all the air out of

1482
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,839
Speaker 2: the room. Three simple words. It's a time. Mark Medina

1483
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 2: Medina Magic, our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru comes to

1484
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 2: us every Sunday morning, one am Pacific, four m Eastern. Mark,

1485
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:03,800
Speaker 2: I want to start. I want to I digressed for

1486
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 2: a second last week. I said that I had believed

1487
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 2: Luca had peaked, and I want to clarify that it's

1488
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,680
Speaker 2: not that he's washed. It's just that it's not going

1489
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 2: to get any better than this. This is who he

1490
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 2: is and I want to start in by getting your thoughts.

1491
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:23,760
Speaker 2: Early in the week, Chris Paul made some comments that

1492
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:26,680
Speaker 2: I thought were pretty insightful. You don't have to be

1493
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 2: a lockdown defender, but defense is desire. You at least

1494
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 2: have to make an effort. I am not seeing Luca

1495
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 2: really make that effort consistently. Let's get your thoughts.

1496
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, well, Bernie, what you were referring to with Chris

1497
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 16: Paul's he was talking specifically about shake Gilgess Alexander because

1498
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 16: he was a player that he mentored early in his

1499
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 16: career because he was with the Oklahoma City Thunder during

1500
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 16: that time. And I mean Chris Paul is right with Shay.

1501
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 16: I mean, he is known as one of the best

1502
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 16: scores in the NBA. He led the league in scoring

1503
01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 16: last year. For last season, you know, he has so

1504
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 16: many tricks in his bag, with an improved three point shock,

1505
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 16: great finisher, knows how to draw fouls, and you know,

1506
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 16: score from different angles, has a good step back. But

1507
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 16: he isn't a defensive liability. Now here's why. Will I

1508
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 16: will add some context here, the Thunder is one of

1509
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,679
Speaker 16: the best defensive teams in the league for a few reasons.

1510
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 16: They got so many wing defenders. They got Jalen Williams,

1511
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 16: they got Cason Wallace, they got Alex Caruso. They have

1512
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 16: some two great front court defenders, which Holmgrin and Asia Hardenstein.

1513
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 16: So Shay doesn't have to be a lockdown defender. He's

1514
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 16: able to take more risks. They can absorb him, you know,

1515
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 16: missing a few possessions here or there where. With Luca,

1516
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 16: I'm not saying he shouldn't be better. He's got to

1517
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 16: be better defensively. He's also got to be a more

1518
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 16: efficient passer. But look at what the Lakers have outside

1519
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 16: of Marcus Smart. They don't have any lockdown defenders. And

1520
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 16: so when you say that Lucas peaked, I think that

1521
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,760
Speaker 16: you're you'll see a much better version of Luca once

1522
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 16: the Lakers, presumaboy get a better roster around him.

1523
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 2: All Right, you bring up an excellent point. Shaye does

1524
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,599
Speaker 2: play on a team with elite defenders lou dort Ales, Cruizer,

1525
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 2: chet Holme, n etc. But let's break this down. Let's

1526
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 2: get a little nerdy here. Okay, he's a very good

1527
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 2: off ball defender. I'm talking about Shay Gilgis. He's exceptional

1528
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 2: at reading passy lanes. He'll block shots now and then

1529
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 2: he'll turn over. He'll he'll create turnovers. Okay, he'll create deflections.

1530
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:37,040
Speaker 2: I think he's a way above average impact defender as

1531
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 2: a guard, and again not just on ball defender. So

1532
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing the effort Luca makes and if you

1533
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 2: watch you away from the ball, it's very bothersome. So

1534
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 2: it's just my thoughts. We'll see how this continues. But

1535
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 2: the numbers don't lie either. Mark. We're one year in

1536
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 2: now with this three headed experiment. What grade would you

1537
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 2: give it when the Big Three quote quote unquote Big

1538
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 2: Three are on the floor with the Lakers, Well.

1539
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 16: I would give them a CEE. I mean, Ny Frank.

1540
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 16: We haven't played a lot of games. It's been thirteen games.

1541
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 16: They had a good bounce back win against the Warriors tonight.

1542
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 16: Now I'm very well aware you have to kind of

1543
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 16: put an asterisk because this isn't the Warriors that you're

1544
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 16: used to seeing compete in the playoffs. Steph Curry was

1545
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 16: on the sideline, Jimmy Butlers out for the season, Christos

1546
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 16: Borzingi still has an illness, so it wasn't the same

1547
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 16: kind of version. But what I'm getting at is I

1548
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 16: think the Lakers they need to improve their dynamic with

1549
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 16: those three players. Something encapsulate that more than how Luca

1550
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 16: botched the last play against the Orlando Magic, where he

1551
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 16: had a really good shot, he fumbled it, threw a

1552
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 16: grenadeo Lebron and he just heaved up a three and

1553
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 16: it clanked off the rim. But I think that that

1554
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:52,720
Speaker 16: is something that can be easily improved because of their

1555
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 16: offensive talent, and I think for the most part, there

1556
01:24:56,720 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 16: has been intention of guys sacrificing wanting to make this work,

1557
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 16: and I think that that is more fixable than some

1558
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:07,679
Speaker 16: of these defensive issues. And I think it also is related.

1559
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 16: If the Lakers get better shots, there's more ball movement,

1560
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 16: there's fewer turnovers, their opponent is not going to score

1561
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 16: and transition as much, and so in a way, their

1562
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 16: defense will be better. And so I think that's the

1563
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 16: way to address it, because again, their defensive rosters flawed.

1564
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 16: Outside of Marcus Smart. They can talk all they want

1565
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 16: about better communication, better hustle, and you know, those things

1566
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 16: do matter, but they're not an elite defensive team. So

1567
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 16: I think as long as they have the right principles offensively,

1568
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 16: and you know, outside of those three players, there's at

1569
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 16: least one role player that can hit a few open shots,

1570
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,640
Speaker 16: they can at least be a respectable playoff team in

1571
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 16: the first round.

1572
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 2: Well, I think they're well below average defensive team. They're

1573
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 2: eleven and sixteen against above five hundred teams and they've

1574
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 2: got a big roads wretch coming up here at the

1575
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 2: very end of the year. Yeah, they'll be in the playoffs,

1576
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:05,599
Speaker 2: but I think they're going to enter as a playing team.

1577
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 2: So well that thought. You can call me out on

1578
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:10,639
Speaker 2: it later if I'm wrong. But Lebron continues to take

1579
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 2: all the air out of the room, even Byron Scott

1580
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 2: checked in this week. So I asked this question a

1581
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 2: few weeks ago. Given everything that's been said recently, and

1582
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:22,719
Speaker 2: you over riding vibe, why would the Lakers offer Lebron

1583
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 2: anything at the end of the year. What if he

1584
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:25,560
Speaker 2: calls your bluffin takes it.

1585
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 16: Well, look, this isn't gonna happen. But I think the

1586
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 16: Lakers are trying to make this say they don't want

1587
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,560
Speaker 16: to be saying yeah, good, writs Lebron. They want to

1588
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 16: look like the guys that gave them the offer and express.

1589
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 16: But to be clear, they're not giving them a max offer.

1590
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:44,679
Speaker 16: They're going to say, hey, if you want to take

1591
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:47,760
Speaker 16: a very steep vetter, you know, I want to say

1592
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 16: veterans minimum, but you know, ten million, fifteen million, Yeah,

1593
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 16: we'd love to have you back. But Lebron James is

1594
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 16: making fifty two million dollars this season? Why would he

1595
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 16: take such a signific pay cuts. I think it's really

1596
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 16: about saving face, you know, for the concerns you have.

1597
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:08,720
Speaker 16: It's a valid if it was an actual thing. But

1598
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 16: this is all just rhetoric. The Lakers are. If they

1599
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:16,640
Speaker 16: were really wanting to keep them beyond next season, they

1600
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 16: would have negotiated an extension or non extension a multi

1601
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 16: year contract last summer, as opposed to just light him

1602
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 16: exercise his player option so that he would only have

1603
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 16: one year left on his contract.

1604
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 2: Well, they're clearly handstrung with him though, regardless of the salary.

1605
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 2: Just look at the play on the floor and he

1606
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 2: gives an effort, but it's it's clunky. It's just very clunky,

1607
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 2: And why would he take ten million? Well, I don't

1608
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:45,640
Speaker 2: you know, let's say let's just war game this for

1609
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 2: a second. Let's say Cleveland locks him up next year.

1610
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:51,639
Speaker 2: Even though I think it was Tony Grossi and Cleveland

1611
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 2: the radio guy, he said he didn't think he's going

1612
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:55,600
Speaker 2: to end up there. I don't know why I got

1613
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 2: to recuse myself, but what would be the most another

1614
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:01,639
Speaker 2: team that Cleveland would offer him? And let's not forget

1615
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan took the veterans minimum. If it's not beneath him,

1616
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 2: it shouldn't beneath Lebron.

1617
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1618
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:12,599
Speaker 16: I think though, if he's going to take a veterans VOM,

1619
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 16: it's going to be with another team. And I think,

1620
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 16: in fairness to Lebron for the most part, not that's perfect,

1621
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 16: but he's mostly X's and O's wise been fine with

1622
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 16: having a different role than Luca. I think it's just

1623
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,679
Speaker 16: all the other oxygen that you alluded to, the fact

1624
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,799
Speaker 16: that they got once they got Luka Doncic. The Lakers

1625
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 16: have rightfully prioritized everything about him, and that makes sense.

1626
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 16: But I think where the angst is is Luka Doncrich.

1627
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 16: He just turned twenty seven today. They're trying to put

1628
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:48,600
Speaker 16: a championship roster around Luca's timeline as opposed to Lebron's timeline,

1629
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 16: where Lebron is forty one years old, his window is

1630
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 16: we know for sure one season, who knows beyond. So

1631
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 16: he wants just everything about putting him in the best

1632
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,840
Speaker 16: position win a champions report. Of the Lakers, of course,

1633
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 16: they want to win a title, but they're also thinking

1634
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 16: the long term too, So I think that's where the

1635
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:14,599
Speaker 16: angst is. So yeah, if he finds that Cleveland's interested,

1636
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 16: I could see him being amenable to that. I just don't,

1637
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:20,679
Speaker 16: I think, frankly, the thing with the Lakers is, runs course,

1638
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 16: it's going to be a fine departure. It just it's

1639
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,400
Speaker 16: always been a transactional partnership from the beginning, and it's

1640
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:28,639
Speaker 16: going to end that way as well.

1641
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 2: All Right, So let's slip to Luca because I am

1642
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,719
Speaker 2: on record, I put it in print, Old takes exposed,

1643
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 2: can nail me someday. I don't think I ever win it.

1644
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:38,880
Speaker 2: I don't think I'll ever win a championship. Look, we

1645
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:41,680
Speaker 2: were told Luca was in shape, he would contribute defensively

1646
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:44,920
Speaker 2: this year. Luca Lebron. Their plus minus together prior to

1647
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 2: Saturday's game is minus eighty two, Luca's opponents are shooting

1648
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:50,400
Speaker 2: sixty percent from the floor when he's guarding the opposing

1649
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 2: team shooter. At this point, I think someone might own

1650
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,200
Speaker 2: Ecal Harrison apology. He said the Mavericks for eighty millions.

1651
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:58,600
Speaker 16: No one knows leic O Harrison apology.

1652
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 2: Come on, see million dollars, my friend, you want.

1653
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:06,639
Speaker 16: That trade, Anthony David. He's already traded to the Wizards.

1654
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,760
Speaker 16: He got Max Christie, great player. I mean he should

1655
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 16: have been three.

1656
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 2: Well you can see that now in retrospect.

1657
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:14,439
Speaker 16: He only got one first round pick.

1658
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,800
Speaker 2: Okay, he wanted to Okay, I get all that. It's

1659
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 2: been well publicized in all the papers. That's not the

1660
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 2: issue here. The issue was he dumped Luca because he

1661
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:25,439
Speaker 2: didn't want him. Say four hun and eighty million dollars.

1662
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 2: How do you build around this guy? I mean it's

1663
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 2: pretty common knowledge now. He's extremely difficult to build around

1664
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:34,200
Speaker 2: for a multitude of reasons.

1665
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:37,439
Speaker 16: Mark, you got the floor, Yeah, I mean, look how

1666
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 16: you build around him? You get another star player. They

1667
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:42,559
Speaker 16: got Kyrie Irving, They got to the finals. They had

1668
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:46,439
Speaker 16: some respectable role players made it help. That included some

1669
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,600
Speaker 16: good defenders. What do the Lakers do. I'm not going

1670
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:52,719
Speaker 16: to say they'll definitely get Jonathan too Tokumbo, that's an option.

1671
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:56,680
Speaker 16: But even if they don't, they can package a lot

1672
01:30:56,800 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 16: of good rotation players allow around Lucas that are defensive oriented.

1673
01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 16: And look, I think it's a fair conversation about, Okay,

1674
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:08,920
Speaker 16: do the do the Mavericks want to commit that kind

1675
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 16: of money to a player that they have concerns about

1676
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:15,200
Speaker 16: with their with his durability and you know, the conditioning,

1677
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 16: all that stuff and just longevity. But it's a whole

1678
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:20,839
Speaker 16: other conversation on Okay, what did he get in return?

1679
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 16: And look like it was the worst trade ever in

1680
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 16: NBA franchise history. They did, They didn't say that.

1681
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 9: They did not.

1682
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:30,599
Speaker 16: Look, they got Anthony Davis.

1683
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 2: He guys that Lebron wanted to be with and said,

1684
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 2: let's build our team. That's Lebron said, he was the greatest.

1685
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,959
Speaker 2: You can see in retrospect now hindsight, it's always.

1686
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:43,600
Speaker 16: The time too is a terrible trade? Then it's a

1687
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:47,680
Speaker 16: terrible trade now and that's because very injury prone and

1688
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:49,360
Speaker 16: they already trade him to Washington.

1689
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:57,080
Speaker 2: Listen, I I get I get that. Uh, since Anthony

1690
01:31:57,160 --> 01:32:01,400
Speaker 2: Davis is already onto other you know, ventures as it were,

1691
01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 2: and you have a situation where you know he was

1692
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:10,040
Speaker 2: hurt and never really did anything as a maverick. I

1693
01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:13,160
Speaker 2: contend he saw what we're seeing now in Luca.

1694
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 16: It's not the Well, let's look at the trade itself.

1695
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:21,200
Speaker 16: Everyone knew Anthony Davis's injury history before this trade happened.

1696
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 2: Well, Lebron loved him, he said, he don't ask me.

1697
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 2: We were supposed to build around me and a d

1698
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:28,200
Speaker 2: because Ad would do what Luca didn't want to do.

1699
01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:29,360
Speaker 2: We can't help that he's hurt.

1700
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, to be clear, Lebron was never a calling for

1701
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 16: Ad to be traded, you know, no, no.

1702
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 2: No, no, no. He wanted to keep him. Go ahead.

1703
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:41,120
Speaker 16: Yeah. But all I'm getting at here is Nico doesn't

1704
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 16: deserve an apology. He made a trade with the player

1705
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:47,560
Speaker 16: that you know, I think most people would disagree with.

1706
01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:50,479
Speaker 16: But if you are going to go down that path

1707
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 16: of trading a generational star, you got to get something

1708
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 16: better in return, and he didn't. He got fleeced, So

1709
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:58,760
Speaker 16: he doesn't deserve an apology at all. I mean, it

1710
01:32:58,840 --> 01:32:59,639
Speaker 16: was a terrible move.

1711
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 2: I said, I said, we'll wait for three years. We're

1712
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:04,960
Speaker 2: not gonna have to wait that long. And by the way,

1713
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:06,680
Speaker 2: this is a fun segment. I was wish she had

1714
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:10,840
Speaker 2: more time. I will tell you that the Thunder trading

1715
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 2: Paul George of the Clippers for Shay Gilgess. That was

1716
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 2: not a great trade either, Charles Barkling to the Suns

1717
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 2: back in the day, I remember when Julius Irving got

1718
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:22,320
Speaker 2: traded to seventy six. Believe me, you're right.

1719
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 16: I mean, Paul George at least got to the Western

1720
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 16: Conference Finals with the Clippers.

1721
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:30,480
Speaker 2: Again, and Shake Gilgis has already won a championship.

1722
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:34,639
Speaker 16: I know, but we're Bernie like, we're comparing trades here.

1723
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:37,320
Speaker 16: What did Anthony Davis do in a Mavericks uniform. He

1724
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 16: barely got the Paul George with the Clippers. They at

1725
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:44,880
Speaker 16: least got to the playoffs. They got to the Western

1726
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 16: Conference Finals. No doubt, the Clippers are on the losing

1727
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:52,280
Speaker 16: end of that deal and they underachieved. But to say that, oh,

1728
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:56,200
Speaker 16: that deal is worse than the Mavericks, Come on, man.

1729
01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna reiterate this for the last time.

1730
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:04,440
Speaker 2: Four hundred and eighty million dollars. He saved that franchise.

1731
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:07,320
Speaker 2: He cost him his job. But I will tell you,

1732
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:10,000
Speaker 2: had Luca signed that Max deal, he probably wouldn't have

1733
01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:12,439
Speaker 2: you know, gotten the Orange theory fitness and lost the

1734
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:14,080
Speaker 2: weight he can lose all the way he wants. This

1735
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:16,640
Speaker 2: guy can't defend a Parker, nor does he really want to.

1736
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:19,320
Speaker 2: And that's gonna that. That's where I guess we'll just

1737
01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:22,720
Speaker 2: move on from this because and time is gonna tell

1738
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:26,280
Speaker 2: we'll have you on. If Luca wins a championship, I'll

1739
01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:28,439
Speaker 2: have you right back on. I got no problem being wrong.

1740
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 2: That would be a bigger story. If Luca doesn't win

1741
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:34,519
Speaker 2: a championship, he's just another story in the Naked City,

1742
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:37,120
Speaker 2: like Bernie Banks and Charles Barkley. But if he wins

1743
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:40,639
Speaker 2: one in LA and it becomes the Luca era, then

1744
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,479
Speaker 2: I have no problem going on. By the way, I

1745
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 2: don't know that it's fair. Uh. Kendrick Perkins called out

1746
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:51,240
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick. He seems to be getting some heat. I

1747
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:53,400
Speaker 2: don't know that that's warranted. Am I wrong? He's seen

1748
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 2: something I'm.

1749
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:55,200
Speaker 17: Not well for.

1750
01:34:55,320 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 16: Center's plain pie here. I mean, no one's ever blameless.

1751
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:01,160
Speaker 16: And you know, I think there's some criticism with JJ

1752
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 16: Reddick in terms of finding the right starting lineup combination

1753
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 16: around Luca Lebron Austin. You know, obviously they've had overlapping injuries,

1754
01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 16: but when you're looking at the beginning of the season,

1755
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 16: he really leaned in on starting really Hatchamora, having offensive

1756
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:23,080
Speaker 16: oriented lineups to offset some of their defensive miscues. But

1757
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:25,760
Speaker 16: you saw a lot of slow starts. I think there

1758
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:27,720
Speaker 16: is an argument to me made if you went with

1759
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:33,080
Speaker 16: Marcus Smart, Jared Vaynerbill unhealthy, it wouldn't have been as lopsided.

1760
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:36,000
Speaker 16: But again, I think the larger point that you're making

1761
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:40,080
Speaker 16: JJ Reddick's not the main problem. It's it's the roster construction,

1762
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 16: that's the injuries, and then it's, you know, the dynamic

1763
01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 16: I feel we're talking about with Luca, Lebron and Austin.

1764
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 2: Now, I feel like Reddicks did a serviceable job. And

1765
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 2: by the way, for you, his storian is out there now.

1766
01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:53,840
Speaker 2: You probably know this. In nineteen eighty, the year that

1767
01:35:53,960 --> 01:35:55,680
Speaker 2: magic I was an intern at the Forum, saw all

1768
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:58,599
Speaker 2: the game's court side. The Warriors had the number one

1769
01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:01,800
Speaker 2: overall pick that year. They've traded to get it and

1770
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:03,640
Speaker 2: they use it on Jewel Barry Carroll. All they had

1771
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:06,360
Speaker 2: to do is give up Robert Parrish and Kevin McHale

1772
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 2: who went to Boston and won four championship. So that's

1773
01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 2: how you're really create a trade. In my view, Let's

1774
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:13,760
Speaker 2: wait a few years down the road and I get

1775
01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:16,160
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis. Dude, I get it. I don't know what

1776
01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:19,920
Speaker 2: that poor guy's major malfunction is. When he's healthy, He's

1777
01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 2: terrific he ever healthy, So that's a problem. We're also

1778
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 2: starting to hear rumblings about DeAndre Ayton, which I think

1779
01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:28,479
Speaker 2: are warranted.

1780
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:32,639
Speaker 16: Your thoughts, Yeah, I mean, look, even before this week,

1781
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 16: I've been very low on how he's implying. I mean,

1782
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:39,800
Speaker 16: he's been very inconsistent. You can see being at the

1783
01:36:39,920 --> 01:36:43,439
Speaker 16: games that his engagement level a lot of times depends

1784
01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 16: on how you know, involved he is in the offense.

1785
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:50,280
Speaker 16: And no doubt, I mean, to be clear, the Lakers

1786
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:52,519
Speaker 16: need to do a better job with passing the ball,

1787
01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:56,719
Speaker 16: having balld movement, and that includes getting DeAndre and touches.

1788
01:36:56,880 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 16: But to a man, DeAndre Ayden's effort line should not

1789
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 16: hinge on how much he's a focal point in the offense.

1790
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 16: You know why, for a few reasons, they have Luca

1791
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 16: Lebron and Austin they're better offensive players. And two, he

1792
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 16: signed up with the Lakers knowing that his role is

1793
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 16: largely going to be about playing defense, being a rim protector,

1794
01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 16: setting good screens for their ball handlers, and any points

1795
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:25,640
Speaker 16: shot attempse he gets, it's an added bonus, and a

1796
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 16: lot of it is off a hustle plays and not

1797
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:32,479
Speaker 16: plays being drawn for him. This is a player that

1798
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:36,840
Speaker 16: wanted to improve his reputation. He's been knocked every time

1799
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:41,160
Speaker 16: in Phoenix, in Portland about his work ethic, about his seriousness,

1800
01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:45,680
Speaker 16: just his attitude, and just how he handles when he

1801
01:37:45,800 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 16: doesn't feel like he's getting enough offensive looks. And here

1802
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:55,920
Speaker 16: we go again. So yeah, it's disappointing to say the least,

1803
01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 16: But this is who DeAndre Aden is as a player,

1804
01:37:58,640 --> 01:37:59,559
Speaker 16: So it's not surprising.

1805
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:02,080
Speaker 2: We knew that going in. We talked about it before.

1806
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:05,080
Speaker 2: I was a little vehement, But when I see Marcus

1807
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 2: Smart not able to curtail his emotions on the floor

1808
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 2: for the whole world to see, that's pretty revealing Mark

1809
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:17,080
Speaker 2: in terms of his thoughts on DeAndre Ayton's effort and

1810
01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:20,600
Speaker 2: in ability to be in the right spot. Finally, I

1811
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:22,599
Speaker 2: don't know if people have been watching the Charlotte Hornets

1812
01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:24,680
Speaker 2: are like twenty and five or fifteen and five. In

1813
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:28,120
Speaker 2: their last twenty they won four in a row. And Mark,

1814
01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:30,679
Speaker 2: tell me if I'm wrong, I think it's entirely possible

1815
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:33,840
Speaker 2: that kN Knoople could overtake Cooper Flagg his Rookie of

1816
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 2: the Year.

1817
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:36,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, you're very much right. I talked to

1818
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 16: a few executives very early in this season, as early

1819
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:44,759
Speaker 16: as like November or December, and they said they wouldn't

1820
01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 16: be surprised if he did win. Now, most of them

1821
01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:50,760
Speaker 16: still gave the edge to Cooper Flag because they felt like,

1822
01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:53,000
Speaker 16: you know what, he's number one pick. He's still playing

1823
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:56,559
Speaker 16: really well. But a lot of them did also say,

1824
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:59,680
Speaker 16: you know what, Kankin Nipple is the real deal. He's

1825
01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:03,720
Speaker 16: not a shooter, he's a great passer, great defender, he's

1826
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:09,040
Speaker 16: impacting winning. I think that Cooper Flag, if I have

1827
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:11,479
Speaker 16: to make a prediction, will win Rookie of the Year

1828
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 16: only because some of the weaknesses and struggles he showed

1829
01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:17,000
Speaker 16: earlier in the season had to do with the fact

1830
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:19,800
Speaker 16: that the Mavericks had a lot of injuries and they're

1831
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:22,280
Speaker 16: putting him in this position of assuming a lot of

1832
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 16: ball handling responsibilities.

1833
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:24,599
Speaker 8: Now.

1834
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:30,320
Speaker 16: Jason Kidd had a really expletive filled press conference a

1835
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:32,439
Speaker 16: few weeks ago when he was questioned about this and

1836
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 16: he talked about his playing credentials and his background. But

1837
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:38,760
Speaker 16: a lot of people around the NBA feel that the

1838
01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:41,920
Speaker 16: MAVs coaching staff to not put Cooper Flag in a

1839
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:44,720
Speaker 16: position to succeed. And part of the reason why he's

1840
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:48,360
Speaker 16: playing a lot better is he doesn't have that responsibility anymore.

1841
01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:51,200
Speaker 16: But thanks to your larger point Plearney, Kyle k and

1842
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:54,719
Speaker 16: Nipple is playing really well. I've talked to him this season,

1843
01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 16: and he's about the right stuff. He takes care of

1844
01:39:57,600 --> 01:40:01,040
Speaker 16: his body immediately after the he does a lot of

1845
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:04,640
Speaker 16: film work. The Vets love him for how much she

1846
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:08,080
Speaker 16: prides about doing the right things and not caring about

1847
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:11,080
Speaker 16: the stats. And that's all you want in a rookie,

1848
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:13,880
Speaker 16: a guy that makes an impact and knows how to

1849
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:16,960
Speaker 16: help team teams win games. And both of those players

1850
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 16: do down a consistent basis.

1851
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:22,320
Speaker 2: The Charlotte's team, they've really got my attention mark. They've

1852
01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 2: won their last four games by a total of eighty

1853
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:27,080
Speaker 2: nine points, and I like their supporting cast. I like

1854
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 2: LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridge's Brandon Miller, Collin Sexton. Could you

1855
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:32,519
Speaker 2: know they're going to probably be in the play in

1856
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 2: the East. Could they make a little bit of noise?

1857
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 16: Oh, without a doubt?

1858
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:38,519
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1859
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:40,040
Speaker 16: I mean, look, a lot of this had to do

1860
01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:43,000
Speaker 16: with the fact that previous seasons LaMelo Ball just couldn't

1861
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,639
Speaker 16: stay consistently healthy. And he's been a lot healthier this season.

1862
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:49,040
Speaker 16: And I think you've seen a lot of improvement with

1863
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:52,600
Speaker 16: LaMelo in previous seasons. Early in his career, he was

1864
01:40:52,760 --> 01:40:56,479
Speaker 16: always a great talent, great shooter, great passer, but he

1865
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:59,760
Speaker 16: often went for the home run play here he still

1866
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:02,880
Speaker 16: had razzle dazzle, but he's a lot more fundamentally sound.

1867
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 16: He makes the right decisions. To your point about Brandon Miller,

1868
01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:09,320
Speaker 16: great player. He reminds a lot of executives around the

1869
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:14,760
Speaker 16: league about Paul George, just that two way talent. So yeah,

1870
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:17,679
Speaker 16: they very well could make noise in the plan.

1871
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:18,040
Speaker 18: Now.

1872
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 16: I don't think they're gonna get past the first round

1873
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 16: because the Eastern Conference is pretty loaded when you're looking

1874
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:28,680
Speaker 16: at Detroit, Boston or New York. But you know they

1875
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 16: are a team that's on the rise for sure.

1876
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 2: All Right, Mark the week's goo by Fast. I'm already

1877
01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:34,880
Speaker 2: looking forward to next Saturday.

1878
01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 16: Looking forward to it as well, and always eager to

1879
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:39,320
Speaker 16: bet you on trade history.

1880

1901
01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:03,879
Speaker 2: New Mexico Michigan my thoughts. First, one of our best segments,

1902
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 2: Brandon's Fantasy Files.

1903
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:14,679
Speaker 4: Fantasy Files with Brandon Deutsch, your go to fantasy football segment,

1904
01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:15,719
Speaker 4: A got one gone.

1905
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 19: What is up, everybody?

1906
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:20,639
Speaker 20: It is Brandon Deutsch here on the Bernie Fredro Show,

1907
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:23,559
Speaker 20: taking you through Fantasy files. And there's a few things

1908
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:27,080
Speaker 20: I wanted to discuss today. We're gonna do some buy

1909
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:30,639
Speaker 20: and sells for Dynasty because Bernie texted me earlier today

1910
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:33,000
Speaker 20: and was like, you know what, saw this article about

1911
01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 20: Dynasty buy and cells, and I really want to know yours.

1912
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 20: And I was like, you know, it's a great idea,

1913
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:41,800
Speaker 20: but I can't gloss over as well. What happened at

1914
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:45,600
Speaker 20: the NFL Draft Combine this weekend in some players that

1915
01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:48,639
Speaker 20: may end up on your Dynasty teams or your regular

1916
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:52,120
Speaker 20: redraft teams this year. So I want to do that first,

1917
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:54,719
Speaker 20: and I'm going to go with Mike Washington, the running

1918
01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 20: back from Arkansas six to two to twenty three ran

1919
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 20: a four to three to three. Now, officially it might

1920
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:02,360
Speaker 20: have been a four to three to two. I didn't

1921
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:04,120
Speaker 20: really check, but unofficially it was a four to three

1922
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 20: to three. I saw somewhere it was a four to

1923
01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:09,160
Speaker 20: three to two. That's why I thought that. But this

1924
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:12,720
Speaker 20: is a guy who people were hyping up before the

1925
01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:16,360
Speaker 20: NFL Draft Combine. But now afterwards, in a week running

1926
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:18,519
Speaker 20: back class, this guy could see himself beat the RB

1927
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:22,040
Speaker 20: two in this class, and I would say probably mid

1928
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:24,959
Speaker 20: round two is where the RB two will go. Jeremiah

1929
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:27,080
Speaker 20: Love is the only true superstar at the position in

1930
01:44:27,160 --> 01:44:27,719
Speaker 20: this class.

1931
01:44:28,120 --> 01:44:28,600
Speaker 19: Lock it in.

1932
01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 20: He ran a four to three to seven. Obviously, he

1933
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:34,559
Speaker 20: was impressive. So that's definitely a guy to always look at.

1934
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:37,680
Speaker 20: Another guy. Another for you guys to keep keep your

1935
01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:41,200
Speaker 20: eyes on. Brendan Thompson from Mississippi State. He's only five

1936
01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:42,920
Speaker 20: to nine. He waged in at one sixty four, so

1937
01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:46,240
Speaker 20: he's really small. Tesz Johnson type of small, four to

1938
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 20: two six. He ran one of the fastest times ever. Obviously,

1939
01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:51,800
Speaker 20: he was trying to beat the record. He's going to

1940
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:54,720
Speaker 20: gain more weight. He lost weight intentionally to try and

1941
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 20: beat the record. Xavier Worthies record didn't do it. Bryce

1942
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 20: Lance is another guy, Trey Lance's if you're wondering why

1943
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:04,599
Speaker 20: that name sounds familiar for three four at six foot four,

1944
01:45:05,040 --> 01:45:07,200
Speaker 20: a guy that has, by the way, unlike his brother,

1945
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 20: college production two thousand receiving yards over his last two

1946
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 20: years at North Dakota State. Jacoby Lane at four from

1947
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:18,080
Speaker 20: USC four point four eight forty times really.

1948
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:18,680
Speaker 6: Like what he did.

1949
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:22,719
Speaker 20: And Eli Stower's forty five and a half inch vertical

1950
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:25,280
Speaker 20: tight end and Kenyon Citik obviously broke the record four

1951
01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 20: point thirty nine record tight end speeds. To make sure

1952
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:31,559
Speaker 20: to keep those guys on your radar. And now I'm

1953
01:45:31,600 --> 01:45:35,280
Speaker 20: going to get into my buys and sells for Fantasy Dynasty.

1954
01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:39,320
Speaker 20: The first buy here may not be an obvious one,

1955
01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 20: but I because of their quarterback situation. But I just

1956
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:46,680
Speaker 20: don't know if Nico Collins's body can hold up in

1957
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 20: the foreseeable future. He's dealt with a lot of injuries

1958
01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:52,040
Speaker 20: and concussions the last few years. And there's a player

1959
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:54,800
Speaker 20: on their team that plays identical to him, that is

1960
01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:57,320
Speaker 20: on a rookie contract, And you know, once a Nico

1961
01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:02,320
Speaker 20: inevitably asks for more money or something happens. I think

1962
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:04,439
Speaker 20: this guy is a guy to look at right now

1963
01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 20: and by before it gets too le and that's Jayden Higgins.

1964
01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:08,920
Speaker 19: I liked him before the draft.

1965
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:12,639
Speaker 20: He had a great forty times six foot four two fifteen,

1966
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:16,120
Speaker 20: great catch radius. I think he's going to be excellent

1967
01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:18,679
Speaker 20: in the NFL still, even though he had a quiet

1968
01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 20: rookie year, just because of the tumultuous season and offensive season.

1969
01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 20: It was specifically for the Houston Texans, so it was

1970
01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:29,320
Speaker 20: Luther Burden. Luther Burden's going to be a superstar. I mean,

1971
01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:32,080
Speaker 20: you look at every advanced metric yards per route run,

1972
01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:35,639
Speaker 20: everything screams Luthor Burden is up there with Jamar Chase,

1973
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:40,120
Speaker 20: puka Akua, justin Jefferson, with the best of the best

1974
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:42,559
Speaker 20: in terms of what he is projected to be if

1975
01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:43,799
Speaker 20: you look at their rookie numbers.

1976
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:46,680
Speaker 19: We saw it in the playoffs, and I think we're

1977
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:47,559
Speaker 19: gonna see it next year.

1978
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:50,559
Speaker 20: Obviously, his ADP is going to get very pricey as

1979
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:52,599
Speaker 20: we get closer to the draft than re draft leagues.

1980
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:54,639
Speaker 20: But if you have him in dynasty, U won because

1981
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:56,760
Speaker 20: that's gonna end up being the best receiver from last

1982
01:46:56,840 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 20: year's draft, probably even better than Tedero McMillan, and speaking

1983
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:03,879
Speaker 20: of the Bears, another by here Colston Loveland.

1984
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:06,160
Speaker 19: He was incredible in the playoffs.

1985
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:08,240
Speaker 20: And another guy, if you look at his yards per

1986
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:11,120
Speaker 20: outrun best in the NFL at the tight end position,

1987
01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:13,840
Speaker 20: along with Brock Bauers and Trey McBride. So if you're

1988
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:15,960
Speaker 20: looking for a guy the tight end three next season

1989
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:17,320
Speaker 20: is probably Colston Loveland.

1990
01:47:17,640 --> 01:47:18,360
Speaker 19: And let's go to the.

1991
01:47:18,400 --> 01:47:21,000
Speaker 20: Cells really quick. Travis Hunter. They said he's gonna play

1992
01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 20: more corner. If you bought him thinking he was gonna

1993
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 20: play wide receiver last year and you were all in

1994
01:47:26,320 --> 01:47:29,280
Speaker 20: and spent a I don't know a dynasty one on him,

1995
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:32,759
Speaker 20: a one two or one three. I'm sorry that sucks

1996
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 20: because it looks like he's going to be playing more corner.

1997
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:38,320
Speaker 20: Isaiah Pacheco's another guy I don't feel like anybody's talking

1998
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:40,560
Speaker 20: about because he's a free agent, But I just I

1999
01:47:40,600 --> 01:47:42,760
Speaker 20: think he's gonna be out of the NFL within a

2000
01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:44,519
Speaker 20: few years, within probably a year.

2001
01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:46,479
Speaker 19: I don't think the Chiefs re signed him if they

2002
01:47:46,520 --> 01:47:47,519
Speaker 19: do it for very cheap.

2003
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:50,519
Speaker 20: Obviously, it didn't look like himself coming off of AC injury,

2004
01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:53,680
Speaker 20: you typically need a full year, so I'm I'm not

2005
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:56,240
Speaker 20: gonna not an Acolnjry. I think he broke his foot

2006
01:47:56,720 --> 01:47:58,559
Speaker 20: fractured his leg, but either way you need a full

2007
01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 20: year to recover from those. Some leg injuries, whichever it

2008
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:05,960
Speaker 20: is ACL or foot or broken leg, those always typically

2009
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:08,600
Speaker 20: take a year to get to your full strength. And

2010
01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:11,280
Speaker 20: he came back way too soon. But I'd still sell him.

2011
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 20: And the final guy that might shock people, but I'm

2012
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:16,599
Speaker 20: gonna go with David and Djoku free agent. Don't think

2013
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,200
Speaker 20: he's back with the Browns obviously. The talent is a mense.

2014
01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:23,280
Speaker 20: I would try and get something back of value for

2015
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:26,240
Speaker 20: him because you don't know where he's gonna end up.

2016
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:28,559
Speaker 20: He's obviously super talented. You can wait and see if

2017
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:30,280
Speaker 20: he ends up to a great position because he can

2018
01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 20: get even more back. But he's thirty one. I would

2019
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:36,320
Speaker 20: sell him. So those are my bicells for fantasy football.

2020
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:38,960
Speaker 20: And the guys from the combine impressed me the most.

2021
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 20: You can find me at BSD takes on, x, Brandons

2022
01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 20: Deutsch on, TikTok and Instagram.

2023
01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:45,759
Speaker 19: Thank you so much, Bernie.

2024
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:48,840
Speaker 2: Back to you, Hey, couple things, Brandon, So you mentioned

2025
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:51,240
Speaker 2: Trey Lance's brother. North Dakota State had a hell of

2026
01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 2: a quarterback Cole Peyton, who had some good numbers, run

2027
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:57,160
Speaker 2: a four or five forty, had a forty inch vertical

2028
01:48:57,240 --> 01:49:00,800
Speaker 2: leap somebody just to kind of watch for what it's worth.

2029
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:04,519
Speaker 2: I'm not a tailoring Green fan. Out of Arkansas. They

2030
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:07,400
Speaker 2: did a you know, you may have mentioned this, he

2031
01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:10,960
Speaker 2: ran a four to three six forty, which is, you know,

2032
01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 2: right around Anthony Richardson type times. But if you watch

2033
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:17,760
Speaker 2: him in Arkansas, he can't really play quarterback. And then

2034
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:21,720
Speaker 2: of course the one guy, and we talked about him

2035
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:23,960
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. He's never been a burner.

2036
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:25,680
Speaker 2: He ran a four point. He ran a four to

2037
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 2: five to three at the combine. Carnell Tait, he's slower

2038
01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:33,519
Speaker 2: than a lot of these receivers. But I'm guessing, Brandon,

2039
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 2: he's going to be the first guy off the draft

2040
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:35,599
Speaker 2: board this year.

2041
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:40,200
Speaker 20: Your thoughts, I don't think so, actually, Bernie. I think

2042
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:44,800
Speaker 20: Carnel Tate's forty times really did not serve him. Well, okay,

2043
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:47,080
Speaker 20: I think if he didn't run, and I'm not trying

2044
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:49,959
Speaker 20: to encourage this because I do encourage running at the combine,

2045
01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 20: but he's one of those guys. If he didn't run

2046
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:53,760
Speaker 20: he would have been a surefire six overall pick to

2047
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:56,920
Speaker 20: Cleveland probably. If not that, he would have been the

2048
01:49:56,960 --> 01:49:59,320
Speaker 20: first off the board at seven or eight. I think

2049
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 20: now Mikayla is going to be the first receiver taken.

2050
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:07,280
Speaker 2: McKay lemon is whoever gets him is going to be

2051
01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:09,960
Speaker 2: is really gonna get a bargain. This kid is just

2052
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:15,920
Speaker 2: a pure, pure playmaker. And I like, listen, as you've

2053
01:50:15,920 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 2: heard me say a thousand times, the best conversations in

2054
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:23,519
Speaker 2: sports are when people disagree. I got a little birdie

2055
01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:26,280
Speaker 2: telling me he thinks the Browns are gonna nab Carnell

2056
01:50:26,360 --> 01:50:29,200
Speaker 2: Tate number six overall because of what they believe his

2057
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:31,439
Speaker 2: production is going to be, and that would make the

2058
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 2: Saints happen because I think they grab Makaye Lemon number eight.

2059
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 2: But either way, we're talking fantasy here. Which one do

2060
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:39,680
Speaker 2: you think will have the better production the rookie year?

2061
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:40,960
Speaker 2: Because I think both will have production.

2062
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:44,480
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think you got to go with the better quarterback.

2063
01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:47,800
Speaker 20: If that's where those two land, it's mkayle Lemon because

2064
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:50,679
Speaker 20: Tyler Schuck I think has shown more than Shador Sanders,

2065
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:53,200
Speaker 20: and I'm assuming it's going to be Shador Sanders Deshaun

2066
01:50:53,200 --> 01:50:56,799
Speaker 20: Watson in neither of which I trust. Tyler Schuck produced

2067
01:50:56,840 --> 01:51:00,240
Speaker 20: a top five Chris Olave year the second half of

2068
01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:02,920
Speaker 20: the season. So I Makayle Lemon will be great wherever

2069
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 20: he goes. Colonel Tata, I think it's contingent upon destination

2070
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:08,400
Speaker 20: more so for him.

2071
01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:12,160
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, Fantasy files every week. Football is

2072
01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 2: the real hot stove now year round, believe me. And

2073
01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 2: the draft will be here before you know it. The

2074
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 2: OTAs will be here before you know it, and they'll

2075
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:24,360
Speaker 2: be in camp and pretty soon you'll be assembling your rosters.

2076
01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:27,760
Speaker 2: But this is all fun stuff to talk about and

2077
01:51:27,960 --> 01:51:31,280
Speaker 2: people can't frankly can't get enough of it. While we

2078
01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:35,559
Speaker 2: do it. The road to March Madness. What's the latest, Well,

2079
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:38,880
Speaker 2: let's give some updates. Two weeks from today. I told

2080
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:42,240
Speaker 2: you the sports calendar always has a way of arriving

2081
01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:44,920
Speaker 2: ahead of schedule. In terms of the future, let's take

2082
01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:48,280
Speaker 2: a look at some updates as we trek towards March

2083
01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:51,919
Speaker 2: Madness again. I know him the Apartment of Redundancy Department.

2084
01:51:52,040 --> 01:51:56,400
Speaker 2: Two weeks from today, you'll be watching Selection Sunday. I'm

2085
01:51:56,439 --> 01:51:58,639
Speaker 2: Bernie Frida or Keny Lane from Las Vegas, Font Sports

2086
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:01,480
Speaker 2: Radio Studios. Go away or listening to the Bernie.

2087
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:04,400
Speaker 1: Fraddles, don't listening to Fox Sports.

2088
01:52:18,160 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 2: All right, back of the Bernie Frautles Show. Fox Sports

2089
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:25,599
Speaker 2: Radio come to you live from the Fox Sports Radio

2090
01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:28,240
Speaker 2: studios here in Las Vegas. We'll take you up to

2091
01:52:28,280 --> 01:52:32,920
Speaker 2: three in Pacific six am Eastern. As we inch ever

2092
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 2: closer to what should be another rousing March madness, we

2093
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:42,080
Speaker 2: are now in the month of March. Today is March first,

2094
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:46,639
Speaker 2: two weeks from today, which is of course March fifteenth.

2095
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:55,920
Speaker 2: You've got you've got the bracket announcement, right, so that'll

2096
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,160
Speaker 2: be here before you know it, and it's not too

2097
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:03,120
Speaker 2: early to all right, I'd be shocked if Duke is

2098
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,200
Speaker 2: not the number one overall seed. While really going on

2099
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,720
Speaker 2: a limb there. You saw what they did, how they

2100
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:13,040
Speaker 2: took apart Michigan this past week, and then twenty four

2101
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:17,120
Speaker 2: hours after Michigan completely storm pass Illinois, Duke made another

2102
01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:20,679
Speaker 2: statement Saturday of their own Virginia number eleven, Virginia, who's

2103
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:25,160
Speaker 2: been hot, hotter than Jason mckelwayne. It'd beat Virginia by

2104
01:53:25,439 --> 01:53:28,240
Speaker 2: twenty six Saturday afternoon. But if all the games were

2105
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:30,880
Speaker 2: played at camdor Indo Arena. A cameraon into arena. I

2106
01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:35,320
Speaker 2: don't think they ever lose March Madness, but I think

2107
01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:40,320
Speaker 2: Duke it's it's not going on on a limb, obviously,

2108
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 2: but come on. One of the things about Duke is

2109
01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:45,640
Speaker 2: they have the number one defense in the nation, and

2110
01:53:46,360 --> 01:53:49,120
Speaker 2: Virginia found out the hard way. This is not like

2111
01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:52,280
Speaker 2: prior to Virginia teams they shoot threes. They were seven

2112
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:54,800
Speaker 2: to thirty five against Duke from behind the arc. The

2113
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 2: Blue Devil smothered them. They can test everything. No free

2114
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:02,640
Speaker 2: catches in space. Duke won by twenty six and they

2115
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:07,599
Speaker 2: didn't exactly light it up. Cameron Boozer, who's probably better

2116
01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:10,559
Speaker 2: in his dad, didn't have one of his better games.

2117
01:54:10,920 --> 01:54:14,719
Speaker 2: That's how good Duke is. But Arizona also is gonna

2118
01:54:14,760 --> 01:54:17,160
Speaker 2: lock up a number one seed. All right. They took

2119
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 2: apart Kansas. They you know, they beat him like a

2120
01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:24,800
Speaker 2: stick horse. Darren Peterson did have a good game, but

2121
01:54:24,920 --> 01:54:26,599
Speaker 2: by the time he woke up, I mean they were

2122
01:54:26,680 --> 01:54:31,400
Speaker 2: down by eighteen before the seats were warm, and you

2123
01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:35,200
Speaker 2: know he had twelve points. He's a lottery pick. But

2124
01:54:35,480 --> 01:54:40,520
Speaker 2: Arizona is got depth. Their bigs punish you inside and

2125
01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:44,600
Speaker 2: Tommy Lloyd. You know I've heard people dog him as

2126
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:48,040
Speaker 2: an ex and Osa guy. I'll tell you this, the

2127
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:50,480
Speaker 2: man can recruit. How does Arizona constantly end there with

2128
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:53,560
Speaker 2: so much talent up and down the roster. They've got depth,

2129
01:54:53,560 --> 01:54:57,280
Speaker 2: They've flexed their depth all season and they're getting you know,

2130
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 2: they got Cole Pete back after missing three games. Now.

2131
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 2: The Mountain West Conference never never makes noise in the tournament,

2132
01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:09,920
Speaker 2: except for well three years ago. San Diego stake after

2133
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:14,839
Speaker 2: the final game against giving up to Brian Dutcher against Yukon.

2134
01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 2: But New Mexico, who's been one of these looming teams

2135
01:55:18,280 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 2: for a long time. I remember Gosh, I think was

2136
01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:23,080
Speaker 2: back in twenty thirteen. Steve Offerd had them as a

2137
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:26,440
Speaker 2: number three seeded. They get the you know, Harvard mop

2138
01:55:26,600 --> 01:55:29,440
Speaker 2: the floor with them, so but they boosted their chances

2139
01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:32,560
Speaker 2: of getting into the Big Dance. They beat San Diego

2140
01:55:32,640 --> 01:55:35,440
Speaker 2: State eighty one to seventy six. Both those schools, I

2141
01:55:35,480 --> 01:55:39,360
Speaker 2: guess are they're bubble schools, but they can both get in.

2142
01:55:39,920 --> 01:55:42,840
Speaker 2: They Lobos really needed to win because they wasted a

2143
01:55:42,920 --> 01:55:45,839
Speaker 2: quad one opportunity earlier in the week against Nevada and meanwhile,

2144
01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:50,440
Speaker 2: UNLV beat Nevada Saturday night here at the Thomas and Mac.

2145
01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:53,680
Speaker 2: And so you know, while we're at it, if you

2146
01:55:53,720 --> 01:55:56,680
Speaker 2: look ahead of the final four, I will be shocked.

2147
01:55:56,680 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 2: You'll knock me over with a feather. If Michigan's not

2148
01:55:58,520 --> 01:56:02,520
Speaker 2: in the final four. If Michigan loses before the final four,

2149
01:56:05,680 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what would cause that to happen, Something

2150
01:56:08,040 --> 01:56:13,400
Speaker 2: unforeseen that I don't want to speculate. All right, Obviously

2151
01:56:13,520 --> 01:56:16,120
Speaker 2: you don't know what their bracket draw is going to be.

2152
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:23,280
Speaker 2: And look in a win or go home tournament, and

2153
01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:25,720
Speaker 2: you know, an all or nothing affair, do or die,

2154
01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:30,520
Speaker 2: anything can happen, right, But Illinois is a very talented team,

2155
01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:33,080
Speaker 2: and Michigan led by twenty one at one point in

2156
01:56:33,080 --> 01:56:36,320
Speaker 2: the second half. They end up winning by fourteen. Michigan

2157
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:40,320
Speaker 2: has had twenty three wins this year by double digits.

2158
01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:44,440
Speaker 2: That tells me a lot. Their offensive balance is terrific,

2159
01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 2: but a lot like Duke, Michigan has outrageous defense, and

2160
01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:51,960
Speaker 2: they you know, they took Illinois home crowd out of

2161
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:55,520
Speaker 2: the game. And when you when you consider that the

2162
01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 2: ALLI and I have the top offensive unit per Ken

2163
01:56:59,240 --> 01:57:03,240
Speaker 2: Pom Michigan's got the number two defense behind Duke. Well,

2164
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:07,840
Speaker 2: maybe defense really does win championships because defense won the day. Okay,

2165
01:57:08,440 --> 01:57:11,480
Speaker 2: what does this mean and why does this give me

2166
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 2: so much confidence that I think you can just about

2167
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:19,040
Speaker 2: pencil or penn Michigan in the final four because they

2168
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 2: can have it off shooting night. They might not even

2169
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:25,240
Speaker 2: have a good night with turnovers, they commit twelve a game,

2170
01:57:26,120 --> 01:57:29,120
Speaker 2: but their defense has never taken a night off that

2171
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:32,400
Speaker 2: I can see. And so when you have that kind

2172
01:57:32,440 --> 01:57:37,280
Speaker 2: of defense, you are in every game no matter where. Now,

2173
01:57:37,320 --> 01:57:41,920
Speaker 2: I remember a few years ago Dayton with Obi Top

2174
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:45,600
Speaker 2: and during the COVID, you know, the tournament got canceled.

2175
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 2: I think they were twenty nine, and oh that year

2176
01:57:47,560 --> 01:57:50,040
Speaker 2: thirty and oh well, never know what would have happened

2177
01:57:50,240 --> 01:57:52,040
Speaker 2: had they had a chance to play in the tournament.

2178
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:57,520
Speaker 2: And now that we are in March, Miami Ohio is

2179
01:57:57,720 --> 01:58:04,200
Speaker 2: still well. They are still undefeated, the nation's only undefeated team,

2180
01:58:05,880 --> 01:58:08,000
Speaker 2: and they had to really dig out of a hole

2181
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:11,400
Speaker 2: to beat Western Michigan trailing by nine with six minutes

2182
01:58:11,480 --> 01:58:15,960
Speaker 2: to play, and their leading scorer for Miami Ohio, Peter Sooter,

2183
01:58:16,320 --> 01:58:20,640
Speaker 2: he'd already filed out Trey Perry and who you know,

2184
01:58:21,240 --> 01:58:23,440
Speaker 2: a new star is born every day in the United States.

2185
01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:26,040
Speaker 2: He wins it for Miami and he makes a left

2186
01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:28,360
Speaker 2: handed layup when the game is you know, in the

2187
01:58:28,640 --> 01:58:32,680
Speaker 2: closing seconds, kept the streak alive in the NCAA tournament.

2188
01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:36,680
Speaker 2: You know, in terms of look, what if Miami, Ohio

2189
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:40,480
Speaker 2: doesn't win their conference tournament. According to Bruce Pearl, they're

2190
01:58:40,520 --> 01:58:43,440
Speaker 2: not good enough to be a and that large team.

2191
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:45,800
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that if they were like thirty one

2192
01:58:45,880 --> 01:58:50,920
Speaker 2: and one or something like that. So anyway, and I

2193
01:58:51,040 --> 01:58:53,880
Speaker 2: love Michigan State. They're at Indiana later this afternoon. They

2194
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:56,960
Speaker 2: went into Purdue as a six point underdog. And when

2195
01:58:56,960 --> 01:58:58,920
Speaker 2: you get into March, that's when tom Izzo is at

2196
01:58:58,960 --> 01:59:01,920
Speaker 2: his best. He's been one of the most successful coaches

2197
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:04,280
Speaker 2: in the last thirty years. He knows how to get

2198
01:59:04,280 --> 01:59:06,920
Speaker 2: his teams to peak at the right time. They had

2199
01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:10,240
Speaker 2: a crucial road win Michigan State did at Thursday at

2200
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:15,040
Speaker 2: Purdue was ranked eighth and Michigan State won convincingly as

2201
01:59:15,040 --> 01:59:17,680
Speaker 2: a six point underdog. And by the way, speaking of statements,

2202
01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:21,920
Speaker 2: my god, Yukon just beat Saint John's the other day

2203
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 2: like a rented Mule and Dan Hurley apparently told the

2204
01:59:26,840 --> 01:59:29,840
Speaker 2: team this was his pregame speech, don't give them life,

2205
01:59:30,080 --> 01:59:33,440
Speaker 2: just beat their ass. Well they did. You lose by

2206
01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:35,440
Speaker 2: thirty two to anybody is not good. But the Red

2207
01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 2: Storm they didn't make a field goal for the final

2208
01:59:37,880 --> 01:59:41,240
Speaker 2: seventeen minutes of the game. They missed twenty four consecutive shots.

2209
01:59:42,040 --> 01:59:44,360
Speaker 2: Give you con a little bit of credit. This is

2210
01:59:44,480 --> 01:59:48,240
Speaker 2: going to make for a very, very fun tournament. And

2211
01:59:48,320 --> 01:59:50,640
Speaker 2: you really can't count out byu Or. Even though they

2212
01:59:50,720 --> 01:59:53,400
Speaker 2: lost Texas Tech after the top An injury, there's still

2213
01:59:53,440 --> 01:59:57,400
Speaker 2: fighting Missouri UCLA. It's going to be a wide open tournament,

2214
01:59:57,440 --> 01:59:59,440
Speaker 2: I think, but there's still only two or three or

2215
01:59:59,480 --> 02:00:02,200
Speaker 2: four teams that really have a chance to win six

2216
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:07,280
Speaker 2: games in a row coming up. Does the NFL Combine matter? Well,

2217
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:10,320
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. Keep it locked. You're listening to

2218
02:00:10,440 --> 02:00:18,040
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. That's right,

2219
02:00:18,800 --> 02:00:20,760
Speaker 2: you heard the man. The Bernie Fraddle Show keeps rolling

2220
02:00:20,840 --> 02:00:23,240
Speaker 2: right along. My name is Bernie Frattle. We're coming to

2221
02:00:23,240 --> 02:00:25,240
Speaker 2: your line from the Fox Sports Radio studios here at

2222
02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:29,080
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. We'll take you up to three am Pacific,

2223
02:00:30,080 --> 02:00:34,480
Speaker 2: six am Eastern. Still got a lot of stuff to

2224
02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:37,080
Speaker 2: get to and how could we have come this far?

2225
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:43,800
Speaker 2: And barely mentioned the Underwear Olympics, the NFL Combine, although

2226
02:00:43,840 --> 02:00:47,040
Speaker 2: you did hear Brandon's great reporting on that Fantasy Files.

2227
02:00:47,960 --> 02:00:50,480
Speaker 2: People see this event come and go over year, people

2228
02:00:50,560 --> 02:00:55,080
Speaker 2: descend on Indianapolis, and there's a lot that's not really publicized.

2229
02:00:55,080 --> 02:00:58,360
Speaker 2: I mean, why do they have it well? To NFL teams,

2230
02:00:58,400 --> 02:01:00,640
Speaker 2: it's fairly critical, of course, unless you Aaron Wynn. You

2231
02:01:00,680 --> 02:01:02,800
Speaker 2: go there and fall asleep. That was not a good look.

2232
02:01:03,520 --> 02:01:05,960
Speaker 2: And you know, but that's the story for a different day.

2233
02:01:08,240 --> 02:01:11,480
Speaker 2: For some's very critical the players, for some very critical.

2234
02:01:11,520 --> 02:01:15,120
Speaker 2: For some organizations somewhat critical. It's an invitation only event.

2235
02:01:15,200 --> 02:01:18,680
Speaker 2: It lasts a week in Indianapolis. What happens is teams

2236
02:01:18,720 --> 02:01:21,280
Speaker 2: bring in the who they perceive to be the top

2237
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:26,280
Speaker 2: college prospects, and the undergo a lot of standardized you

2238
02:01:26,320 --> 02:01:29,240
Speaker 2: know testing. Some of it's medical, some of it's physical,

2239
02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:34,520
Speaker 2: some of it's psychological, and they believe it's crucial for

2240
02:01:34,800 --> 02:01:38,880
Speaker 2: validating a game film and when you assess someone's medical history,

2241
02:01:39,560 --> 02:01:43,160
Speaker 2: and then what you try to do is put prospects

2242
02:01:43,200 --> 02:01:45,960
Speaker 2: through a gauntlet to see how they respond under pressure.

2243
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:50,200
Speaker 2: Testing situations. And it's all part of Chris for the

2244
02:01:50,240 --> 02:01:53,560
Speaker 2: mill as you compile your information to make your draft decisions,

2245
02:01:54,320 --> 02:01:56,320
Speaker 2: and we're going to draft a player and his draft

2246
02:01:56,360 --> 02:02:01,680
Speaker 2: status and his salary, and you know, you have to listen.

2247
02:02:01,840 --> 02:02:03,720
Speaker 2: I've always taken it with a grain of salt, and

2248
02:02:04,040 --> 02:02:07,640
Speaker 2: every year I tell the Mike Mamula story. Mike Mamula

2249
02:02:08,720 --> 02:02:11,720
Speaker 2: was a prospect, I believe, in nineteen ninety five, drafted

2250
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:15,480
Speaker 2: very highly by the Philadelphia Eagles defensive end. This guy

2251
02:02:15,560 --> 02:02:17,760
Speaker 2: had maybe the greatest combine of all time. You know,

2252
02:02:18,400 --> 02:02:22,960
Speaker 2: bench pressed, you know, to twenty five about eight bazillion times,

2253
02:02:23,480 --> 02:02:25,720
Speaker 2: you know, had a ninety eight billion inch vertical leap

2254
02:02:25,800 --> 02:02:30,680
Speaker 2: and ran forty faster than you know, George Jetson. But

2255
02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:33,920
Speaker 2: he didn't do any in the NFL. Then there's guys

2256
02:02:33,960 --> 02:02:37,000
Speaker 2: like Tom Brady who ran the forty yard dash. They

2257
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:40,120
Speaker 2: timed him with a sun dial. He turned out okay.

2258
02:02:41,240 --> 02:02:44,920
Speaker 2: Robert Turbin, a very bright running back out of Utah State,

2259
02:02:45,080 --> 02:02:48,400
Speaker 2: was considered to be perhaps the greatest interview of all

2260
02:02:48,520 --> 02:02:53,080
Speaker 2: time that a GM said he'd ever experienced. Then you

2261
02:02:53,160 --> 02:02:54,880
Speaker 2: hear the stories about you know, like can he pick

2262
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:57,960
Speaker 2: his hands or too small. Right now, we're hearing rubens

2263
02:02:58,040 --> 02:03:01,000
Speaker 2: Bain's arms are too short. I take group and band

2264
02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:04,360
Speaker 2: on my team any day. But the key aspects of

2265
02:03:04,400 --> 02:03:08,440
Speaker 2: the combine are this the medical evaluations. Okay, this is

2266
02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:11,480
Speaker 2: probably the most valuable part for any team because they

2267
02:03:11,560 --> 02:03:14,880
Speaker 2: do give very comprehensive medical exams, and they do gather

2268
02:03:14,960 --> 02:03:17,640
Speaker 2: a lot of data on prospects. And then you really

2269
02:03:17,720 --> 02:03:21,720
Speaker 2: can't pooh pooh the interviews in psychological testing. A lot

2270
02:03:21,800 --> 02:03:25,360
Speaker 2: of coaches and executives they use this time the interview prospects.

2271
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:28,640
Speaker 2: They assessed their mental acuity, their character, their ability to

2272
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:33,320
Speaker 2: handle pressure. Some guys do better than others. Okay, I

2273
02:03:33,520 --> 02:03:36,560
Speaker 2: was in particularly fond of the negative comments and Makai Lemon.

2274
02:03:37,280 --> 02:03:41,560
Speaker 2: They didn't like his demeanor. I don't. To me, that's

2275
02:03:41,600 --> 02:03:45,240
Speaker 2: a big nothing. Leave the kid alone, all right. Public

2276
02:03:45,280 --> 02:03:48,160
Speaker 2: speaking is a learned skill. Every time I see this

2277
02:03:48,240 --> 02:03:50,960
Speaker 2: guy touch of football, he's electric and he's going to

2278
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:53,000
Speaker 2: make some team very happy. And if he ends up

2279
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:55,280
Speaker 2: with the Rams, which some people believe he will, or

2280
02:03:55,320 --> 02:03:58,320
Speaker 2: maybe the Saints, he's going to make him better year one.

2281
02:03:58,480 --> 02:04:00,960
Speaker 2: That's the way I see it. And then there's standardized

2282
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:04,160
Speaker 2: athletic testing. You got drills like the forty yard dash

2283
02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:09,040
Speaker 2: vertical leap, and then you've got position specific drills that

2284
02:04:09,160 --> 02:04:11,880
Speaker 2: are measurable. And again it's all part of the data

2285
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:14,200
Speaker 2: mix and the fact pattern, and it just gives you

2286
02:04:14,200 --> 02:04:19,720
Speaker 2: an opportunity to compare athletes against each other. And there's

2287
02:04:19,800 --> 02:04:21,920
Speaker 2: no downside of having a good combine. Now, it may

2288
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:26,320
Speaker 2: not guarantee you anything, but a strong performance at the

2289
02:04:26,400 --> 02:04:30,880
Speaker 2: combine could frankly significantly raise a player's draft stock. On

2290
02:04:30,960 --> 02:04:34,680
Speaker 2: the other hand, a poor performance based on what the

2291
02:04:34,800 --> 02:04:41,600
Speaker 2: expectations are, can hurt your draft stock. And it helps

2292
02:04:41,640 --> 02:04:44,720
Speaker 2: you perhaps or it helps the trained eyeta. You can

2293
02:04:44,800 --> 02:04:47,560
Speaker 2: textualized film a little bit, all right. I think a

2294
02:04:47,640 --> 02:04:53,200
Speaker 2: lot of times the athletic numbers are sometimes overhyped because

2295
02:04:53,720 --> 02:04:57,320
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's a correlation between specific combine

2296
02:04:57,360 --> 02:05:01,000
Speaker 2: drills and long term NFL success. But the combine is

2297
02:05:01,640 --> 02:05:05,120
Speaker 2: a cornerstone. It ain't going away. There's a lot of

2298
02:05:05,200 --> 02:05:08,600
Speaker 2: money and time invested in it, and there's no two

2299
02:05:08,640 --> 02:05:15,200
Speaker 2: ways about it that they're there to get as much information. Teams, GMS, coaches,

2300
02:05:15,680 --> 02:05:19,520
Speaker 2: agents that are all there. They network, they have discussions

2301
02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:21,240
Speaker 2: and by the way, it's not just for that they

2302
02:05:21,320 --> 02:05:26,240
Speaker 2: discuss free agency contracts, trades, potential blockbuster trades, all that stuff.

2303
02:05:27,240 --> 02:05:31,640
Speaker 2: So again, medical testing, interviews, athletic testing. You know, teams

2304
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:36,000
Speaker 2: look for good health, high football IQ. They are able

2305
02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:38,400
Speaker 2: to a lot of times discern your passion for the game.

2306
02:05:40,200 --> 02:05:45,240
Speaker 2: Although again, as I've said, the value of the times

2307
02:05:45,840 --> 02:05:49,400
Speaker 2: and the measurables and the reps and drills beauties in

2308
02:05:49,440 --> 02:05:52,080
Speaker 2: the idy beholder, I think, because I think that they

2309
02:05:52,120 --> 02:05:56,120
Speaker 2: can be very misleading. So let's take it a step further.

2310
02:05:56,200 --> 02:06:00,200
Speaker 2: Which combine drills actually matter most for each position? And

2311
02:06:00,760 --> 02:06:05,120
Speaker 2: as you know, there are always exceptions to the rule. Okay,

2312
02:06:05,600 --> 02:06:08,440
Speaker 2: see you got to take everything with a grain of salt. Now,

2313
02:06:08,520 --> 02:06:10,560
Speaker 2: for instance, the quarterbacks do this thing called a three

2314
02:06:10,640 --> 02:06:15,440
Speaker 2: cone drill. Okay, they you know, I don't know how

2315
02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:18,520
Speaker 2: much the broad jump can tell you how predictive that

2316
02:06:18,760 --> 02:06:22,720
Speaker 2: is in terms of NFL performance. I don't know what

2317
02:06:22,880 --> 02:06:27,640
Speaker 2: data back set up. You just had a quarterback Sam

2318
02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:30,800
Speaker 2: Donald who looked pretty good in the Super Bowl. I think, yeah,

2319
02:06:30,840 --> 02:06:32,720
Speaker 2: he didn't throw for eight thousand yards, but he didn't

2320
02:06:32,720 --> 02:06:35,440
Speaker 2: make any mistakes either, ok through for two hundred yards,

2321
02:06:35,720 --> 02:06:39,440
Speaker 2: made some strong throws early. He checks a lot of boxes,

2322
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:42,680
Speaker 2: of course, people are always dying to throw cold water

2323
02:06:43,480 --> 02:06:46,920
Speaker 2: on somebody who has a great performance. But be that

2324
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:48,840
Speaker 2: as it may. We're talking about the combine. What if

2325
02:06:48,840 --> 02:06:52,400
Speaker 2: I told you that Sam Donald had the worst broad

2326
02:06:52,480 --> 02:06:57,520
Speaker 2: jump in nine years. Meanwhile, there's another player who frankly

2327
02:06:57,600 --> 02:06:59,560
Speaker 2: has a hell of a time completing a forward pass

2328
02:07:00,200 --> 02:07:02,080
Speaker 2: and he just has to be traded once asked out

2329
02:07:02,120 --> 02:07:05,280
Speaker 2: of a game. And yes he's an elite athlete. Anthony

2330
02:07:05,400 --> 02:07:10,360
Speaker 2: Richardson had the best broad jump in history. You think

2331
02:07:10,400 --> 02:07:14,520
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson would have led the Seahawks to a super Bowl?

2332
02:07:15,160 --> 02:07:21,440
Speaker 2: I don't think so. And Sam Darnold, well, it's a

2333
02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:25,640
Speaker 2: testament to his you know, fortitude over the years, but

2334
02:07:25,720 --> 02:07:28,160
Speaker 2: he won the Super Bowl with the worst broad jump. Now,

2335
02:07:28,240 --> 02:07:30,080
Speaker 2: the three cone drills, and I believe are a little

2336
02:07:30,120 --> 02:07:33,360
Speaker 2: bit more predictive. Quarterbacks who complete the drill in under

2337
02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:39,160
Speaker 2: seven seconds have proven over time to be more productive

2338
02:07:40,400 --> 02:07:45,080
Speaker 2: than other quarterbacks who are less nimble. All right, and

2339
02:07:46,120 --> 02:07:50,600
Speaker 2: you'd be surprised though even that in and of itself

2340
02:07:51,160 --> 02:07:54,440
Speaker 2: is not a predictor. Yess who had the best three

2341
02:07:54,520 --> 02:07:57,800
Speaker 2: cone time a couple of years ago. Actually, if we

2342
02:07:57,920 --> 02:08:01,720
Speaker 2: go back, if we go back, let's call it eight years,

2343
02:08:02,280 --> 02:08:06,960
Speaker 2: nine years. What if I told you JJ McCarthy had

2344
02:08:06,960 --> 02:08:12,080
Speaker 2: the best three cone time? Hmm, he had a better

2345
02:08:12,120 --> 02:08:15,560
Speaker 2: three cone time than Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. How'd

2346
02:08:15,560 --> 02:08:16,120
Speaker 2: that work out?

2347
02:08:16,440 --> 02:08:16,760
Speaker 6: Or well?

2348
02:08:16,840 --> 02:08:18,800
Speaker 2: His career is not over yet, but you see what

2349
02:08:18,880 --> 02:08:21,160
Speaker 2: I mean how it could be misleading to Sean Watson

2350
02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:24,200
Speaker 2: also had a good one, right, Daniel Jones had a

2351
02:08:24,240 --> 02:08:26,440
Speaker 2: good one. Sam Darnold had a pretty good three cone time.

2352
02:08:26,480 --> 02:08:29,360
Speaker 2: So the Baker Mayfield, you know who didn't, Jared Goff,

2353
02:08:30,040 --> 02:08:31,720
Speaker 2: he's a pretty good quarterback. I think you know who

2354
02:08:31,760 --> 02:08:34,120
Speaker 2: didn't Justin Herbert. Believe it or not. I think he's

2355
02:08:34,120 --> 02:08:35,720
Speaker 2: a pretty good quarterback. And I think so. It was

2356
02:08:35,760 --> 02:08:37,960
Speaker 2: Mac Jones, and so is Jordan Love. There are three

2357
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:42,360
Speaker 2: con times for nothing to write home about. Go to

2358
02:08:42,480 --> 02:08:45,720
Speaker 2: running backs. Now, if you just focus on pure raw speed,

2359
02:08:47,120 --> 02:08:55,880
Speaker 2: you're not accounting for size and speed combined. Okay, the

2360
02:08:56,040 --> 02:09:00,360
Speaker 2: NFL likes guys who are, especially in this position, fast

2361
02:09:00,680 --> 02:09:04,040
Speaker 2: and big because they're going to take a punishment. All right.

2362
02:09:05,840 --> 02:09:09,200
Speaker 2: You may or may not want to spend on a

2363
02:09:09,280 --> 02:09:12,440
Speaker 2: top pick running back who runs slower than four to six,

2364
02:09:13,000 --> 02:09:15,360
Speaker 2: no matter his size. You may just not want to

2365
02:09:15,400 --> 02:09:19,280
Speaker 2: do that, right, But there have been running backs who've

2366
02:09:19,280 --> 02:09:21,320
Speaker 2: been drafted in the first three rounds in the last

2367
02:09:21,440 --> 02:09:27,080
Speaker 2: nine drafts. They were unusually fast for their size, but

2368
02:09:27,200 --> 02:09:32,839
Speaker 2: weren't especially fast, just period, right, guys like Derrick Henry

2369
02:09:33,520 --> 02:09:38,920
Speaker 2: or AJ Dillon or Saquon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott. But if

2370
02:09:38,960 --> 02:09:42,680
Speaker 2: you adjust for weight and speed, that correlates with more success.

2371
02:09:43,000 --> 02:09:47,400
Speaker 2: Same as receivers. Even adjusting for weight and speed, well,

2372
02:09:47,880 --> 02:09:50,600
Speaker 2: that doesn't always correlate in a National Football League if

2373
02:09:50,600 --> 02:09:54,880
Speaker 2: you're a receiver. Same with height. Teams are better off

2374
02:09:55,840 --> 02:10:01,720
Speaker 2: just drafting well regarded receivers who had real production, and

2375
02:10:01,840 --> 02:10:06,520
Speaker 2: it helped if they were taller. All right, taller receivers

2376
02:10:06,520 --> 02:10:09,080
Speaker 2: in the NFL because they provide a better catch radius.

2377
02:10:09,680 --> 02:10:14,720
Speaker 2: You've got legitimate data here. Christian Watson, he's six foot four,

2378
02:10:15,160 --> 02:10:20,480
Speaker 2: t Higgins to Toria McMillan, Drake London, Mike Williams, Michael Pittman.

2379
02:10:21,120 --> 02:10:24,760
Speaker 2: These are guys that were tall, maybe not as fast.

2380
02:10:25,800 --> 02:10:28,040
Speaker 2: John Ross remember him? And since NTTY a few years ago,

2381
02:10:28,080 --> 02:10:30,960
Speaker 2: I bet Brandon does the guy ran a four to

2382
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:33,760
Speaker 2: two forty. What the hell has he ever done in

2383
02:10:33,840 --> 02:10:37,080
Speaker 2: the National Football League? Henry Ruggs ran a four to

2384
02:10:37,120 --> 02:10:40,040
Speaker 2: twenty seven. I won't mention him. See if you're worthy

2385
02:10:41,520 --> 02:10:43,880
Speaker 2: four to two to one, but has he really balled out?

2386
02:10:46,080 --> 02:10:46,280
Speaker 12: Well?

2387
02:10:46,520 --> 02:10:50,160
Speaker 2: You get my point. The track record is good news

2388
02:10:50,240 --> 02:10:52,840
Speaker 2: though for guys like Carnell Tate, who I brought up. Yeah,

2389
02:10:52,880 --> 02:10:54,880
Speaker 2: you only ran a four to five three, but he's

2390
02:10:54,960 --> 02:10:59,040
Speaker 2: six foot three. In the production, I'm a Carnell Tate guy.

2391
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:02,400
Speaker 2: I think he runs routes, he catches the ball, and

2392
02:11:02,480 --> 02:11:05,400
Speaker 2: he runs after contact, and that's going to play well

2393
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:10,080
Speaker 2: in the NFL production. Production Washington had a guy Denzel Boston,

2394
02:11:10,120 --> 02:11:15,440
Speaker 2: six foot four. Notre Dames Malachive Fields six foot four.

2395
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:22,280
Speaker 2: The fastest guy who's Mississippi State's Brennan Thompson. He's only

2396
02:11:22,400 --> 02:11:25,240
Speaker 2: five to nine. He's not ranked in the top fifty.

2397
02:11:25,280 --> 02:11:28,400
Speaker 2: I'd watch him because I've seen him play. Size means

2398
02:11:28,480 --> 02:11:30,960
Speaker 2: nothing to me. But the truth of the matter is

2399
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:32,960
Speaker 2: this is one area in the NFL where the taller

2400
02:11:33,680 --> 02:11:38,520
Speaker 2: the receiver is okay. Two more observations, ever so quickly

2401
02:11:39,000 --> 02:11:43,680
Speaker 2: tight end. That's been the position where apparently combine matters most.

2402
02:11:44,360 --> 02:11:47,680
Speaker 2: You've got forty times, you've got jumping metrics. Those are

2403
02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:52,600
Speaker 2: very much predictive of success. You really, if possible, want

2404
02:11:53,280 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 2: hyper athletic tight ends. Okay, Oregon's Kenyan Sadik if passed

2405
02:11:59,400 --> 02:12:03,839
Speaker 2: his prologu, he should have a good NFL career, assuming

2406
02:12:03,880 --> 02:12:07,080
Speaker 2: he puts in the work progresses all that kind of stuff.

2407
02:12:08,040 --> 02:12:10,440
Speaker 2: And the other thing too is ed Dresser's where three

2408
02:12:10,520 --> 02:12:15,600
Speaker 2: cone times are also very important. Ideally you want to

2409
02:12:15,640 --> 02:12:20,320
Speaker 2: be under six'. Nine if you, are you may become A.

2410
02:12:20,360 --> 02:12:22,760
Speaker 2: Tj watt who ran a sixty seven to, nine Or

2411
02:12:22,880 --> 02:12:25,760
Speaker 2: Michael parsons who ran a sixty eight, nine Or Max

2412
02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:28,920
Speaker 2: crosby who somehow filled with the fourth round but he

2413
02:12:29,040 --> 02:12:33,280
Speaker 2: ran a six't eight. Nine so the combine matters a

2414
02:12:33,400 --> 02:12:37,320
Speaker 2: lot of, investment a lot of you, know sweat equity

2415
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:40,920
Speaker 2: goes into the goes into the. Combine and so what

2416
02:12:41,040 --> 02:12:44,640
Speaker 2: were some key takeaways from this year's? Combine WELL i

2417
02:12:44,760 --> 02:12:48,240
Speaker 2: Mentioned Brennan. Thompson he clocked a four two six forty

2418
02:12:48,320 --> 02:12:51,360
Speaker 2: to forty yard dash that was the fastest official time

2419
02:12:51,440 --> 02:12:54,440
Speaker 2: of the event for this year and the fifth fastest

2420
02:12:54,880 --> 02:12:58,920
Speaker 2: time in combine. History he's a wide receiver From Mississippi.

2421
02:12:58,960 --> 02:13:02,800
Speaker 2: State he's five foot. Nine will that translate to a

2422
02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:06,800
Speaker 2: career in THE. Nfl it certainly, can it absolutely. Can

2423
02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:10,560
Speaker 2: Greg dortch out Of Wake forest has done decent With.

2424
02:13:10,600 --> 02:13:13,680
Speaker 2: Arizona he's not a top, target BUT i bet you

2425
02:13:13,800 --> 02:13:17,000
Speaker 2: some guys have on a fantasy. Team Eli, stowers a

2426
02:13:17,040 --> 02:13:19,840
Speaker 2: stud tight end on A. Vanderbilt he set the modern

2427
02:13:19,920 --> 02:13:22,440
Speaker 2: combine record for tight ends with a forty five and

2428
02:13:22,480 --> 02:13:26,120
Speaker 2: a half hedge vertical leap and eleven foot broad. Joke

2429
02:13:27,160 --> 02:13:29,480
Speaker 2: that matters if you're a tight. End same With Kenyon.

2430
02:13:29,520 --> 02:13:33,000
Speaker 2: Sadik can you imagine a tight end running a? Four

2431
02:13:35,400 --> 02:13:40,840
Speaker 2: Kenyon sadik's four the fastest ever for a tight end

2432
02:13:42,120 --> 02:13:45,360
Speaker 2: at the. Combine The Ohio state might have four guys

2433
02:13:45,440 --> 02:13:49,680
Speaker 2: drafted in the top seven. Picks Lorenzo styles Of safety

2434
02:13:51,040 --> 02:13:54,520
Speaker 2: recorded a four point two seven forty yard, dash the

2435
02:13:54,600 --> 02:13:57,120
Speaker 2: second overall this year in terms of speed and the

2436
02:13:57,240 --> 02:14:03,520
Speaker 2: fastest by a safety in twenty three. Years NOW i

2437
02:14:03,680 --> 02:14:06,640
Speaker 2: mentioned a good combine can cause your stock to. Rise

2438
02:14:07,920 --> 02:14:11,240
Speaker 2: Fernando mendoza set out the. Combine why does he need to?

2439
02:14:11,240 --> 02:14:12,920
Speaker 2: Go he's going to be the number one pick overall

2440
02:14:13,040 --> 02:14:15,680
Speaker 2: barring something up for see AND i can't. Predict so

2441
02:14:15,760 --> 02:14:19,480
Speaker 2: all of a, sudden Now Ty, simpson he emerges as

2442
02:14:19,560 --> 02:14:22,320
Speaker 2: the clear cut best on the field as A qb

2443
02:14:22,480 --> 02:14:27,280
Speaker 2: two and a first round. Selection but does the combine

2444
02:14:27,320 --> 02:14:29,680
Speaker 2: take into a fact That Ty simpson actually only started

2445
02:14:29,760 --> 02:14:33,920
Speaker 2: fifteen games in his college. CAREER i don't Recall garrett

2446
02:14:33,920 --> 02:14:36,600
Speaker 2: And nessmayer lighting it up when it mattered. Most AND

2447
02:14:38,400 --> 02:14:41,040
Speaker 2: i run hot and cold On Carson. BECK i think

2448
02:14:41,880 --> 02:14:46,640
Speaker 2: he's certainly, projectable certainly projectable as AN nfl player and a.

2449
02:14:46,720 --> 02:14:50,200
Speaker 2: Starter he's currently favored by many scouts as THE qb

2450
02:14:50,360 --> 02:14:55,080
Speaker 2: three Behind Ty simpson And Fernando. Mendoza, WELL i don't.

2451
02:14:55,120 --> 02:14:58,560
Speaker 2: KNOW i am told, though That Carson beck improved his

2452
02:14:58,600 --> 02:15:03,480
Speaker 2: stock at the, combine as Did garrett Must. Buyer another,

2453
02:15:03,960 --> 02:15:06,520
Speaker 2: Guy Skyler bell out Of yukon And Jeff caldwell a

2454
02:15:06,560 --> 02:15:11,760
Speaker 2: couple of wide. Receivers, again they both improve their stock

2455
02:15:12,320 --> 02:15:16,680
Speaker 2: mainly because of their. Speed and you know Again calwell

2456
02:15:16,760 --> 02:15:18,920
Speaker 2: ran a four to three to. One they can't teach.

2457
02:15:18,960 --> 02:15:21,040
Speaker 2: SPEED i, guess well you. Can you can make guys.

2458
02:15:21,080 --> 02:15:25,280
Speaker 2: Faster one of the performances that blew me Away Jeremiah

2459
02:15:25,320 --> 02:15:28,160
Speaker 2: love on A Notre. Dame he absolutely solidified his status

2460
02:15:28,200 --> 02:15:30,760
Speaker 2: as probably the first running back off the board by

2461
02:15:30,840 --> 02:15:33,520
Speaker 2: running a four to three six. Forty he weighs two

2462
02:15:33,560 --> 02:15:36,840
Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen. Pounds he's already being compared To Jamira,

2463
02:15:36,920 --> 02:15:39,680
Speaker 2: gibbs but with more. Size and give it up To

2464
02:15:39,720 --> 02:15:42,160
Speaker 2: Mike Washington. Junior he led all running backs with a

2465
02:15:42,200 --> 02:15:45,400
Speaker 2: four point three to three forty second or four point

2466
02:15:45,400 --> 02:15:49,080
Speaker 2: three three second forty yard. DASH i Like Jeremiah love

2467
02:15:49,200 --> 02:15:51,800
Speaker 2: BECAUSE i know he's a football. Player i've seen. It

2468
02:15:53,080 --> 02:15:55,800
Speaker 2: i've seen him get through holes that weren't. There you,

2469
02:15:55,840 --> 02:15:58,560
Speaker 2: know they were comparing him To Ashton. GENTY i got

2470
02:15:58,600 --> 02:16:01,480
Speaker 2: nothing Against Ashton. Genty he's a fine football. PLAYER i

2471
02:16:01,560 --> 02:16:06,240
Speaker 2: Think Jeremiah loves. Better there were some defensive standbout standouts as.

2472
02:16:06,280 --> 02:16:09,040
Speaker 2: Well David, bailey at ed rusher out Of Texas tech

2473
02:16:09,600 --> 02:16:14,440
Speaker 2: had a tremendous. Combine he ran twenty two point nine

2474
02:16:14,520 --> 02:16:16,880
Speaker 2: miles an hour in his four point five second forty yard.

2475
02:16:16,960 --> 02:16:19,600
Speaker 2: Dash why is that significant as an ed rusher to

2476
02:16:19,720 --> 02:16:21,960
Speaker 2: do waste two hundred and fifty one? Pounds are you kidding?

2477
02:16:22,040 --> 02:16:26,360
Speaker 2: Me that's the kind of stuff that really causes scouts

2478
02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:32,760
Speaker 2: to turn their, heads and so you know you have

2479
02:16:32,879 --> 02:16:36,400
Speaker 2: to get on the. Field THE nfl is you've heard the,

2480
02:16:36,480 --> 02:16:40,680
Speaker 2: joke and not for Long. League if it doesn't matter

2481
02:16:40,760 --> 02:16:42,760
Speaker 2: how fast you, run it doesn't matter how hi you.

2482
02:16:42,840 --> 02:16:47,000
Speaker 2: Jump all, that you, know the film tells the. Truth

2483
02:16:47,760 --> 02:16:50,200
Speaker 2: but there were still other guys by the way that

2484
02:16:50,480 --> 02:16:54,360
Speaker 2: raised their. Stock AGAIN i Mentioned Scylar Bill Zachariah. BRANCH

2485
02:16:55,200 --> 02:16:57,360
Speaker 2: i think he's gonna fit. Nicely he started out here

2486
02:16:57,360 --> 02:17:00,400
Speaker 2: At Bishop Forman High school In Las vegas to. Us

2487
02:17:00,480 --> 02:17:02,400
Speaker 2: he ended up In. Georgia ran a four to three.

2488
02:17:02,480 --> 02:17:05,039
Speaker 2: Five but watch, him watch him in the open, field

2489
02:17:05,040 --> 02:17:08,920
Speaker 2: and he showed in the gauntlet drill his elite. Mobility

2490
02:17:09,120 --> 02:17:12,080
Speaker 2: Deon burk's the stud wide receiver out Of. Oklahoma he

2491
02:17:12,240 --> 02:17:14,680
Speaker 2: ran a four to three forty yard, dash had a

2492
02:17:14,760 --> 02:17:18,240
Speaker 2: forty three inch vertical. Leap he'll probably be a second round.

2493
02:17:18,320 --> 02:17:21,160
Speaker 2: Grade he's five to. Ten that's WHY i DON'T i.

2494
02:17:21,440 --> 02:17:24,000
Speaker 2: Again to, me size means nothing if you can play

2495
02:17:24,080 --> 02:17:27,199
Speaker 2: but catch gradius all that. Stuff it's an inexact, science

2496
02:17:27,240 --> 02:17:29,400
Speaker 2: it's an inexact. Art but he raised his draft. Stock

2497
02:17:30,120 --> 02:17:34,880
Speaker 2: Taylor green had a very inconsistent throwing, session but he

2498

Speaker 2: jumped forty three, inches had a great broad, jump and

2499

02:17:56,600 --> 02:18:00,440
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt cutler threw the ball a million miles six for

2505

Speaker 19: MINUTES i.

2627
02:25:20,760 --> 02:25:24,279
Speaker 21: Thought, balligan ever since he has joined The United states

2628
02:25:24,320 --> 02:25:28,359
Speaker 21: in twenty twenty, three has been nothing short of fantastic

2629
02:25:28,720 --> 02:25:31,480
Speaker 21: through his time With team OF. Usa in twenty three,

2630
02:25:31,520 --> 02:25:34,840
Speaker 21: appearances he's had eight. Goals he is twenty four years.

2631
02:25:34,840 --> 02:25:38,199
Speaker 21: Old he is kind of getting close to the start

2632
02:25:38,320 --> 02:25:40,960
Speaker 21: of his, prime and you saw that in action On

2633
02:25:41,560 --> 02:25:45,200
Speaker 21: saturday at where he's playing for The french Side. Monaco

2635
02:25:48,320 --> 02:25:53,879
Speaker 21: appearances in all. Competitions monico DEFEATS anyrs to nil In league.

2636
02:25:53,959 --> 02:25:58,160
Speaker 21: One balligun is going to be very crucial for The

2637
02:25:58,280 --> 02:26:02,640
Speaker 21: United states as we get closer to The World. Cup till,

2638
02:26:02,959 --> 02:26:05,120
Speaker 21: now in the past With TEAM, usa he's been a.

2639
02:26:05,160 --> 02:26:09,600
Speaker 21: Substitute he's struggling at. MINUTES i personally think he is

2640
02:26:10,360 --> 02:26:13,800
Speaker 21: fully deserving of a starter the next Time TEAM usa

2641
02:26:13,879 --> 02:26:16,680
Speaker 21: puts together a proper. Roster he's gotten a lot of

2642
02:26:16,720 --> 02:26:20,360
Speaker 21: good starter minutes With monaco through this time that has

2643
02:26:20,440 --> 02:26:24,200
Speaker 21: really seen him. Improve by my, BOOKS i know that

2644
02:26:25,000 --> 02:26:28,040
Speaker 21: we have a score of guys For TEAM usa that

2645
02:26:28,440 --> 02:26:31,119
Speaker 21: people kind of know the names, of especially For, pulisic

2646
02:26:31,280 --> 02:26:34,840
Speaker 21: But balligun is that star THAT i feel like Tam

2647
02:26:34,920 --> 02:26:37,280
Speaker 21: usa needs to really start putting proper front and.

2648
02:26:37,360 --> 02:26:39,440
Speaker 19: Center by the, way speaking Of monaco and.

2649

2769
02:34:46,840 --> 02:34:50,959

2770
02:34:51,560 --> 02:34:53,480
Speaker 2: report is that the new deal With Texas tech will

2771
02:34:53,480 --> 02:34:59,160

Speaker 2: their complain ain't that this is a breach of. Contract

2773
02:35:03,879 --> 02:35:06,600
Speaker 2: that's according to the, lawsuit and, that according to the,

2774
02:35:06,680 --> 02:35:09,520
Speaker 2: lawsuit the contract spelled out he would pay the school

2775
02:35:09,560 --> 02:35:11,720
Speaker 2: one million if he transferred for the deal. Ended but

2776
02:35:11,840 --> 02:35:16,480
Speaker 2: he's not yet Paid cincinnati and court is now, well not,

2777
02:35:16,680 --> 02:35:19,960
Speaker 2: officially but if you get my drift courts in, session

2778
02:35:21,320 --> 02:35:26,320
Speaker 2: this is not. New this is the third instance of

2779
02:35:26,400 --> 02:35:30,240
Speaker 2: a powerful program suing one of its former players over

2780
02:35:30,280 --> 02:35:35,960
Speaker 2: in nil or transfer courtal, dispute and ain't the, first

2781
02:35:36,200 --> 02:35:39,959
Speaker 2: and it probably ain't going to be the. Last last,

2782
02:35:40,080 --> 02:35:44,160
Speaker 2: Month duke reached the settlement with their former Quarterback Darien

2783
02:35:44,240 --> 02:35:49,920
Speaker 2: mensa to resolve litigation which stemmed from his decision to

2784
02:35:50,080 --> 02:35:55,120
Speaker 2: transfer From duke to The university Of. Miami, NOW i

2785
02:35:55,280 --> 02:35:58,600
Speaker 2: don't believe that financial terms of the settlement have been revealed.

2786
02:35:58,680 --> 02:36:02,320
Speaker 2: Yet mensa had signed a two year deal reported to

2787
02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:06,160
Speaker 2: be worth eight, million and he just played the one

2788
02:36:06,240 --> 02:36:10,720
Speaker 2: season for The Blue. Devils georgia got into the act

2789
02:36:10,760 --> 02:36:15,800
Speaker 2: their former defensive End Damon. Wilson apparently they're counter suing

2790
02:36:15,879 --> 02:36:21,400
Speaker 2: each other over the school's claims That wilson Owes GEORGIA

2791
02:36:21,520 --> 02:36:26,320
Speaker 2: anil money for his decision to transfer To missouri ahead

2792
02:36:26,320 --> 02:36:30,040
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty five. Season that case is still,

2793
02:36:30,120 --> 02:36:36,440
Speaker 2: unresolved and in the, Meanwhile Damon wilson transferred to his third,

2794
02:36:36,600 --> 02:36:45,440
Speaker 2: College miami last. Month, Meanwhile Mississippi state Quarterback Jaden reshada

2795
02:36:46,440 --> 02:36:50,200
Speaker 2: he agreed to a settlement his lawsuit against Former florida

2796
02:36:50,280 --> 02:36:54,480
Speaker 2: Coach Billy napier and others earlier this month over alleged

2797
02:36:54,560 --> 02:37:01,120
Speaker 2: UNFULFILLED anil. Payments that instance did not include the school

2798
02:37:01,240 --> 02:37:05,360
Speaker 2: suing a player or being sued by a. Player interesting

2799
02:37:06,160 --> 02:37:11,360
Speaker 2: so on that particular. Deal Jade reshada was offered nine

2800
02:37:11,440 --> 02:37:15,000
Speaker 2: point five million to play At miami in twenty twenty,

2801
02:37:15,080 --> 02:37:20,960
Speaker 2: two but then flipped To, florida which offered him thirteen

2802
02:37:21,120 --> 02:37:27,000
Speaker 2: twenty in. Dollars SO i guess there was a settlement

2803
02:37:27,080 --> 02:37:31,880
Speaker 2: there over these unfulfilled. Payments but when the lawsuit was

2804
02:37:32,000 --> 02:37:36,560
Speaker 2: filed back in twenty twenty, four he was considered the

2805
02:37:36,640 --> 02:37:41,000
Speaker 2: first of its kind in The nile. Era fortunately it

2806
02:37:41,120 --> 02:37:46,560
Speaker 2: was settled for what that, means and it was settled

2807
02:37:46,560 --> 02:37:50,280
Speaker 2: before the discovery. Phase so apparently something must have been

2808
02:37:50,320 --> 02:37:53,840
Speaker 2: in those records that the lawyers did not want to

2809
02:37:54,080 --> 02:37:57,520
Speaker 2: have revealed in open. Court terms of the settlement were not.

2810
02:37:57,640 --> 02:38:02,240
Speaker 2: Disclosed this is crazy on a lot of levels because

2811
02:38:02,600 --> 02:38:04,840
Speaker 2: again this go back to twenty twenty, two which seems

2812
02:38:04,879 --> 02:38:09,080
Speaker 2: like forever. Ago rashada. Was he made the real headlines

2813
02:38:09,080 --> 02:38:11,600
Speaker 2: when he was offered nine point five million to play

2814
02:38:11,600 --> 02:38:14,920
Speaker 2: At miami in twenty twenty, two and that deal was

2815
02:38:15,000 --> 02:38:18,600
Speaker 2: reported to be paid by Former miami Booster John. Maurice,

2816
02:38:18,680 --> 02:38:21,440
Speaker 2: however When rashada ended up flipping To florida before we

2817
02:38:21,480 --> 02:38:24,120
Speaker 2: ever played a game At, miami and again he was

2818
02:38:24,160 --> 02:38:27,240
Speaker 2: allegedly offered third thirteen point eight million to play At,

2819
02:38:27,280 --> 02:38:29,920
Speaker 2: florida but he never even played it down there, either

2820
02:38:31,040 --> 02:38:33,840
Speaker 2: opting instead to transfer To Arizona state for the twenty

2821
02:38:33,879 --> 02:38:38,440
Speaker 2: twenty three. Season, then In may twenty twenty, Four rashada

2822
02:38:38,600 --> 02:38:42,120
Speaker 2: Sued napier as well as the former director of player

2823
02:38:42,200 --> 02:38:48,320
Speaker 2: engagement IN nil his name Is Marcus Castro walker and another, Booster,

2824
02:38:48,400 --> 02:38:51,080
Speaker 2: hewes somebody in the donor's former auto. Dealership he argued

2825
02:38:52,240 --> 02:38:56,400
Speaker 2: THAT nil promises went unfulfilled and that's what caused him

2826
02:38:56,440 --> 02:38:59,240
Speaker 2: to de. Commit he also argued that he lost the

2827
02:38:59,320 --> 02:39:02,560
Speaker 2: opportunity to earn nine point five lane At, miami and

2828
02:39:02,600 --> 02:39:05,560
Speaker 2: when the lawsuit was, filed we're. SHOT i had completed

2829
02:39:05,600 --> 02:39:08,080
Speaker 2: a year At Arizona state and then transferred To. Georgia

2830
02:39:08,680 --> 02:39:11,400
Speaker 2: now we're. Shot never even played At. Georgia he's then

2831
02:39:11,480 --> 02:39:16,039
Speaker 2: since transferred To Sacramento, state where he played one. Year,

02:39:16,480 --> 02:39:19,920
Speaker 2: recently he landed another transfer and will play At Mississippi

2833
02:39:20,000 --> 02:39:24,200
Speaker 2: state this upcoming. Season, Meanwhile Billy navier was fired From

02:39:24,240 --> 02:39:26,600
Speaker 2: florida this pass fall and he took the head coaching

2835
02:39:26,680 --> 02:39:30,040
Speaker 2: job At Jane. Madison, now if you followed all, that

2836
02:39:30,240 --> 02:39:33,000
Speaker 2: you're a hell of a lot better than. Me so

2837
02:39:33,680 --> 02:39:36,280
Speaker 2: even though we're shot and filed the first lawsuit in

2838
02:39:36,320 --> 02:39:39,160
Speaker 2: the nil, era he wasn't the first to reach a

2839
02:39:39,200 --> 02:39:42,600
Speaker 2: resolution on a. Court duke also settled With Darien, mensa

2840
02:39:43,560 --> 02:39:47,120
Speaker 2: and you've probably read about that by. Now but back
