Speaker 2: lines will open, dial in. You've done a great job.

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: Ethan a post the standings I think we're through Week four,

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: Week five line up, the calls first five get in.

22
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: We will kick it off again at midnight. All right,

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft, the NFL shows its king. Yes. The

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 2: first round alone, the draft had eleven and a half

25
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: million viewers. It's more than the British Open, the PGA,

26
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: the US Open, French Open, Australia Open, Wimbledon two games

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 2: of the World Series is Stanley Cup Final Indianapolis five

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: hundred and the Daytona five hundred as well. So if

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: there was any question that the NFL is king, that

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: might have answered it. And of course every NFL draft

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: is tough to predict. Just ask Yogi Berra. You know,

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: predicting things is very hard, especially if it involves the future.

33
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: According to Yogi, he's not wrong. Again. You want to

34
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: here's one example of how unusual the first round was.

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: You thought four or five quarterbacks would be drafted in

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: the first round, didn't you? The over under the bat

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 2: here in Vegas four and a half. I told you

38
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: last week. Bet the under cashed easy. But what's interesting is,

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: for the first time since nineteen sixty seven in the

40
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: common draft era, there were not only four wide receivers

41
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: picked in the first round. There were four consecutive picks

42
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: in the first round that involved wide receivers. Jackson, Smith

43
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: and Jibba started the fun at twenty going to Seattle,

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: quint and Johnston at twenty one to the Chargers, A

45
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: Flowers to the Ravens, and then of course Jordan Addison

46
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 2: out of us to the Minnesota Vikings. But the talk

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: of the night, the talk of all day, was Will Levis,

48
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: And I want to address that for just a second,

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: because as the knight dragged on, ESPN repeatedly cut to

50
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: the shots of Levis waiting in the green room. I

51
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: think it was like twenty six times into the night

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: he stoodn't been taken. It was a shock to a

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: lot of observers had had him going somewhere in the

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: mid first round. I wasn't really sure. But here's what's interesting.

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: That might actually be the best thing to ever happen

56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: to Will Levis. It's not a crime to be drafted

57
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: in the second round. You might have heard of a guy,

58
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: young man who's already carved himself a niche in the

59
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 2: NFL quite nicely, govern the name of Jalen Hurts. He

60
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: was drafted in the second round and by slipping to

61
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: the second round, Will Levis gets to avoid what might

62
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: have been a very dubious distinction. You see, levis numbers

63
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: weren't really great in Kentucky. As a matter of fact,

64
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: he threw forty six touchdowns and twenty five interceptions in

65
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: his college football career, and in the last twenty five years,

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: there have been four quarterbacks sitting in the first round

67
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: of the draft that had fewer than fifty touchdowns and

68
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: more than twenty five interceptions. Would you like to know

69
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: who they are? Okay, you don't want to know, Well,

70
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you anyway. The legendary eg Manuel fell

71
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: in that category, Christian Ponder, yes, Christian Ponder, Josh Freeman,

72
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: and then of course Vince Young, who once notably threw

73
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: his shoulder pads into the stands, but it was very

74
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: accurate thrown. He made the correct read be that as

75
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: it may not necessarily a group that you want to

76
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: be associated with if you're Will Levis, I'm really not

77
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: sure what kind of NFL career Will Levis is going

78
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: to have. Nobody knows, and you got to really be careful.

79
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: I will tell you this that these are just the facts.

80
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 2: They just report the facts. Since nineteen sixty seven, one

81
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen quarterbacks before last night, before round one,

82
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: one hundred and nineteen quarterbacks had been drafted in the

83
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: first round. Since nineteen sixty seven, a grand total of nine.

84
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: Nine won a Super Bowl with the team they were

85
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: actually drafted by. You can look it up yourself. You

86
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: could say, well, wait a minute. Lenny Dawson, he was

87
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: drafted number one. He won with the Chiefs. He was drafted.

88
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: Lenny Dawson was drafted by the Steelers. I'm gonna tell

89
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: you what boat up of the yar. I'm gonna get

90
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: into the draft heavy and I want to give Holly

91
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: Roseman his flowers when an incredible job he continues to do.

92
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: This is a young man who once wrote fifteen hundred

93
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: letters to gms looking for a job in the NFL.

94
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,119
Speaker 2: Started doing this from the time he was twelve years old.

95
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: Mike Tannebamb tells his story. It's phenomenal, it's inspirational, and

96
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: the letters would always always start out like this. My

97
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: name is Hallie Roseman. I go to high school. I'm

98
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: not on a football team. I've never played football. I've

99
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 2: never been on a football team. I've never even stepp

100
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: foot on the football field. I've never even been a

101
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 2: team manager. But someday, if you hire me, I'll be

102
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: one of the greatest gms in the history of the NFL.

103
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: He wrote those letters, fifteen hundred of them over many

104
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: year period. Finally, Mike Tannabaum says, I gotta meet this guy.

105
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: He did. He says, I don't have anything for him,

106
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: but he called Joe Banner the Philadelphia Eagles. He became

107
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: an intern. The rest is history. And one of the

108
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: reasons Tyry Roseman is so phenomenal is that he seems

109
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: to have this inateability to look into an athlete deeply

110
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: and say, can this individual be great when the situation

111
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: demands greatness. Forget the highlight reel, forget the stat sheet,

112
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: and certainly when it comes to quarterbacks. When it comes

113
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 2: to quarterbacks, third down, the fourth quarter, and the red zone,

114
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: those are the three things that determine greatness in a quarterback.

115
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: Third down is the money down. They don't pay it

116
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: a punt on third down, they pay to move the chains.

117
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: Fourth quarter is when boys become men. Can you put

118
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: the team on your back? Can you come back and

119
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: steal a victory in a game you shouldn't win. Then,

120
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: of course the red zone. You can't bring field goals

121
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: to a touchdown fight. You can't bring knives to a gunfight.

122
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: You gotta close out with touchdowns. That's what quarterbacks are graded,

123
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: you know. By the way, to no one's surprise, the

124
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: top righted quarterback and the drafts highest in the S

125
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: two cognitive test, Price Young goes number one overall. Now

126
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: let me take my medicine. I said, pretty vehemently. I

127
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 2: thought that Will Anderson, the safest draft, the safest draft

128
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: pick in the entire lot out of Alabama, the edge

129
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: rusher would go number two to Houston. Well, I knew

130
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: that because I knew Demiico Ryans was held bent on

131
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: getting him and Dumiko Rianms had gone to Alabama. Dumqo

132
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: Ryans wanted to start the face of the defense. Well

133
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: give it up to the Houston Texans. You talk about clever.

134
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Turns out they knew what they were

135
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: going to do all along. They had gotten word that

136
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee was also very interested in c. J. Stroud, by

137
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: the way, I think would be a fine NFL player.

138
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: Too much was made of the s two test, he

139
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: throws up. He's a brilliant passer, he's an accurate pastor.

140
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: If you just saw that young man how I reacted

141
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: after getting drafted last night, you see he as an

142
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: individual high character. He's a spiritual person, he's a natural leader,

143
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: and he's very physically gifted as well. I think they

144
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: got themselves a good one in Houston. We'll see what happens.

145
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: But Tennessee had turned out their intel told them that

146
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: they they wanted to get their their paws on c. J.

147
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: Stroud as well, So they were going to trade up

148
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: to to three. And if and if and if Houston

149
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: would have stuck to their guns and drafted Will Anderson too, Tennessee,

150
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: you know, was offering Arizona a better package. You move

151
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: up to three, they get c J. Stroud. Well, Houston says, no,

152
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: we don't want our division rival getting c J. Stroud.

153
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: We'll take them. And they maneuvered something and then not

154
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: only did they get c J. Stroud, they get Will Anderson.

155
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: They get them both. So lots of highlights like that.

156
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: We're going to get heavily into the NFL draft. Much

157
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: more analysis and data that you're gonna want to hear

158
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: about and you know some some backstorylines throughout the shouldnight.

159
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 2: But I really want to give a tip of the

160
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: cap to Houston, and I want to give a tip

161
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 2: of the cap to Howie Roseman. I'm very surprised with

162
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: what Detroit did, but I think the minute Detroit realized

163
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: they wouldn't get the cornerback out of Illinois Witherspoon, they said,

164
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: what the hell? They traded down. I'm gonna get to

165
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: all that stuff, but I'm very surprised that Troy passed

166
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: up on Tyree Wilson, and they also passed up on

167
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter. Again, we're gonnat do all of it. Hats off.

168
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: I think Houston and Philadelphia won the draft because of

169
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: how clever they are. Jalen Carter are going to be

170
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: surrounded by three of his Georgia teammates and good ones.

171
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: They'll keep them in line. They got themselves a guy

172
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: that's I think going to be highly productive from the jump.

173
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 2: The rich get rich reminds me of a story. When

174
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: I see clever maneuvers like that reminds me the Chicago Bears.

175
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: I know my buddy Mike Harmon will remember this. Listen

176
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: to Mike and Jason every night from seven to eleven.

177
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: They're hilarious. Frostburg tit shirt the HOLMSBOOKA Look the Bears

178
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: once had a tight end by the name of Tim Rightman.

179
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: Tim Rightman actually came out of UCLA, believe it or not.

180
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: If you really want to get into the trivia weeds,

181
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 2: he went to Mary Star of the Sea High School

182
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: where David Gaskin went so in one of his first

183
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: games in the NFL, Tim Rightman they played the New

184
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: York Giants and he lined up in Lawrence Taylor snarling.

185
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor lined up over him and said, Sonny, when

186
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: that ball is snapped, I'm gonna go to the left

187
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna knock your quarterback on his button, break

188
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: his neck, and there's not a damn thing you're gonna

189
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: be able to do about it. Well, Rightman knew what

190
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: the cadence was, and he waited very patiently until right

191
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: before the ball was snapped, and he looked at Lawrence

192
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: Taylor and said, mister Taylor, is that your left or

193
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: my left? The ball was snapped, Taylor temporarily froze. Rightman

194
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: fired off the line him and the Nuts did his

195
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 2: job occupied Taylor for a few seconds, and the Bear's

196
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: game seven yards on the play, Taylor looked at him

197
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: in the eye and wagged his finger and said, not bad, Sonny,

198
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: not bad. That's the kind of cleverness. Cleverness I like

Speaker 2: and politics. Say hello to Alan Snell. Alan, how are you, buddy?

221
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 4: Hey, Bernie, pleasure to join you.

222
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: Man. Listen, I'm looking forward to this segment because there's

223
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: a lot of folks nationally that don't know what we

224
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: know here locally. And what I want to do is

225
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: start at about thirty thousand feet and descend. And the

226
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: first thing I want to do is have you judgta

227
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: pose the vast difference with respect to the dynamic between

228
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: the Raiders coming to Las Vegas and getting their stadium

229
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 2: built versus the oldlan A's and their quest to come

230
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 2: to Las Vegas and get their stadium built.

231
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: You know, Bernie, and I'm glad you brought that up.

232
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 4: We're talking about two very separate animals here. You know,

233
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 4: with the Raiders stadium situation, you had a process involved

234
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 4: that came from the top of the State Brian Sandebel,

235
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: who is the governor, back in twenty fifteen a Las

236
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 4: Vegas Tourism Infrastructure Committee to study the need of a

237
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 4: stadium here in Las Vegas. And then you had not

238
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 4: only did you have the state's most political figure involved,

239
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: then you had arguably the most powerful economic force here

240
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 4: in Las Vegas, the late Sheldon Adamson. Adelson joined forces

241
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: with the Raiders to create basically a stadium bill that

242
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 4: is financing the Raiders stadium now. But convention juxtaphos that

243
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 4: you know, to the Oakland Athletics, there is no there

244
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 4: is no process going on right now publicly. Basically it

245
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: is lobbyists hired by the by the athletics, and they're

246
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: in Carson City, capital here in Nevada, and they're going

247
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 4: to be leaning on state legislators to see if they

248
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 4: can get support for this tax district concept where the

249
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 4: stadium will be located on traffic Canada of the interchange.

250
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 4: But you know, there's a lot of mystery and loose

251
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 4: ends to this burning very different, like you mentioned, compared

252
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 4: to the Raiders stadium process here in Las Vegas.

253
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: All right, so let's drill down on the Oakland A's themselves.

254
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: You've brought up several excellent points in recent weeks. Fine,

255
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: the A's want to come here. They've even entered into

256
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: an agreement to purchase land at the location you just mentioned,

257
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: Tropican Indean Martin west of the fifteen Freeway, not far

258
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: from the other stadiums. But they don't even have an

259
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: artists rendering. They don't even have an architect. There's so

260
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: many things that don't even have yet, not the least

261
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: of which is even the beginnings of potential public funding,

262
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: which is what they're going to want. Take it from there,

263
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: Alan share with some of the share some of the

264
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 2: potential pitfalls and getting this done well.

265
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 4: What's interesting, Bernie, is that they have shut off the

266
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 4: fiket in terms of conversations with the city of Oakland,

267
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 4: So basically there is no other political city or market

268
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: to play off against the city of Las Vegas. You're

269
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 4: basically it's you know, you're negotiating with one entity, which

270
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 4: is the state of Nevada and Clark County. We talk

271
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 4: about Las Vegas, but most people know that the Raider Stadium,

272
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 4: the Golden Nights Arena, and the particular site obviously is

273
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 4: not in the City of Las Vegas proper our county.

274
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 4: So they're gonna need Clark County Commission support and they're

275
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 4: gonna need the state, but they can't negotiate against any

276
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 4: other body day. I mean, basically it's just you know,

277
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 4: it's one on one with with a you know, without

278
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 4: another political city to kind of play off of. So

279
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: that's you know, they kind of burn their bridges in

280
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: Oakland in terms of basically saying that we're now exclusively

281
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 4: looking at Las Vegas. So that's a big uh. You know,

282
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 4: that's a big thing. Like you mentioned. Uh, Typically speak

283
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 4: usually have a nice rendering, a nice artist picture of

284
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: the stadium. It's usually a very picturesque, very positive looking venue.

285
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: It would be backdropped against the obviously the skyline of

286
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: the strip, which is exactly what the Raiders Stadium did,

287
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: and you know, usually have a design architect who would

288
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 4: be your contact. But there's really been no public input

289
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 4: so far. In fact, I have a source at Clark

290
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 4: County who told me that they have not even submitted

291
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 4: any plans. In fact, I spoke with the Department of Transportation,

292
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 4: which you know, not to get too confusing when with

293
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 4: our listeners, there's actually a major project at Traficana in

294
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 4: the interstate right now going on. And when I talked

295
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 4: with the DOT only a couple of days ago, Bernie

296
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: the DOT in Nevada did not even get anything from

297
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 4: Oakland Athletics regarding the impact of the stadium on the

298
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 4: particular road project. The good thing about the road project

299
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 4: is that it's a design and bill project, and believe

300
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 4: it or not, they could make adjustments and modifications based

301
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 4: on the athletics needs in that stadium.

302
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: Talking with Alan Snell, editor in chief Las Vegas Sports Biz,

303
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 2: and what Alan was explaining there the Department of Transportation

304
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: at the corner of Tropicana and the fifteen Freeway, there's

305
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 2: a massive undertaking construction completely redoing Yon wrap and off ramp,

306
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: and so in terms of traffic patterns and the civil engineering,

307
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: Alan's explaining nothing's been done there yet. Now, to the

308
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: folks who selectively listen, and you know who you are,

309
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: we are not saying the A's are not coming to Vegas,

310
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: but we are also saying it's not a done deal.

311
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: There are a lot of things that have to happen

312
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 2: between now and this actually come to fruition. Alan, let

313
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: me ask you a question. So the A's a runed

314
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 2: by a gentleman, John Fisher. I understand he's a billionaire

315
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: as the heir to the Gap fortune. How much of

316
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: an appetite is there for public money here to build

317
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: a third stadium when the owner is a billionaire And

318
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: Bill Foley was obviously Array Generes in building temobile arena,

319
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 2: and there were a lot of factions that came together

320
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 2: thanks to Brian Sandoval, our former governor, that helped a

321
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: Legion stadium get built. It doesn't feel like that same

322
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: dynamic exists here with the A stadium.

323
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. The one thing to consider is there was I

324
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 4: think the agreement to adopt the Senate bill to create

325
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 4: the Raiders Stadium was that because the stadium would be

326
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 4: more than just the Raiders, there would be an economic

327
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: bring in Taylor Swip concerts and international soccer events and

328
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 4: all kinds of concepts and the boy bands from Korea

329
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: and you know, it's and then to the extent that

330
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 4: people come here to Las Vegas to go to the stadium,

331
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 4: it functions almost as a user fee birding because in

332
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: some ways it's kind of morally consistent to have the

333
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: users of a stadium paper stands because people who are

334
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: listening right now need to understand that the public is

335
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 4: paying off our debt on our share of the stadium

336
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 4: construction via a hotel room tax. So in effect, the visitors,

337
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 4: especially the Raiders games, half of the people coming to

338
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 4: the Raider games are out of town folks. Even the

339
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 4: Raider fans themselves are coming from out of town from

340
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 4: northern and southern California. You just don't have the same

341
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 4: situation with a baseball park. I mean, granted, it would

342
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 4: be used for any one home game, so it's going

343
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 4: to be used a lot more, but it's unclear to

344
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 4: me what other uses that baseball statu would have. Keep

345
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 4: in mind, you know, against the backdrop a couple of factors.

346
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 4: Number one, there is a new venue being built called

347
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 4: the Sphere, being built by Manson Square Garden in collaboration

348
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 4: with the folks who own the Venetian and the Palazo,

349
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 4: which is probably only a mile away. That is, granted

350
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 4: that's not sports, but still let's say to another really

351
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: impressive entertainment venue. So you know, that's something to keep

352
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 4: in mind. And also, you know, you mentioned you know,

353
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 4: let's look at the thirty five thousand foot big picture,

354
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 4: Las Vegas does have some other public needs and issues

355
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: that need to be addressed. The schools are kind of struggling.

356
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 4: The transportation system is not robust. I think for a

357
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 4: market of this size, and then think about our healthcare

358
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 4: resources in this market. How many people do you know, Bernie,

359
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 4: who have to leave the Las Vegas markets to get

360
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 4: healthcare issues remedied in outside cities. So there's a lot

361
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 4: of other competing needs and interest besides the baseball parks

362
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 4: here in Las Vegas.

363
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 2: Wrapping up with Alan Snell LV Sports Biz. Allen will

364
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: be a regular on my show between now and September

365
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: when the A's plan to take it to a vote

366
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: to Major League Baseball for the approval to move to Vegas.

367
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: Even though we're nowhere near that one final thing, Allen

368
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: that kind of cropped up. It's my understanding in cities

369
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 2: like Nashville and Salt Lake City and even Portland, there

370
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: are coalitions and organizations that have formed a calling for

371
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 2: a Major League Baseball team to come to their city,

372
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: like bring major League Baseball in Nashville. I haven't seen

373
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 2: any of that here. Is that a red flag in

374
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 2: your view?

375
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 4: You know, that's kind of something that I think what

376
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 4: have helped? I think the open Athletics. You know, kind

377
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 4: of interesting, you know, when the Athletics showed up to

378
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 4: Las Vegas and looking for a public subsidy of five

379
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars. Keep in mind that like only two

380
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: weeks ago, they had an organization called Big League Utah

381
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 4: on a Salt Lake City. They made a pitch. They

382
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 4: had some key people in fact, I think Dale Murphy,

383
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 4: the former Brake slugger, and some other prominent folks like

384
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 4: the Miller family in Salt Lake City. You had some

385
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 4: big guns there, you know, looking to k for Major

386
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 4: League Baseball coming to Salt Lake City. I just don't see,

387
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 4: like I said, the Raiders had Sheldon Adelson, they had

388
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 4: the governor. In fact, the county commissioned chairman at the time,

389
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 4: Steve Sizilak, who would become the governor. He has since lost.

390
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: He was on board with pushing the Raiders stadium to

391
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 4: the finish line. You just don't have the same dynamics

392
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 4: regarding the baseball park here.

393
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: Bernie Alan, you got my text. As news develops, let

394
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: me know, we'll get you back on. This is not

395
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 2: a local story. This is a national story. Thanks so

396
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: much for joining us, Allen.

397

Speaker 4: a pleasure to be with you.

399
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: Thanks pal talking against Sudent Allen snow LV sports Biz. Hey,

400
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: no one's stopping the athletics from building a ballpark in Vegas.

401
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 2: But five hundred million in free public money towards the construction,

402
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 2: that's a different matter. This is a journalistic story that

403
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: will play out over time, and we're going to bring

404
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: it to you. We're going to bring it the truth.

405
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: I think it'd be awesome if these ended up here.

406
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 2: I'll go to games, you know how much ill baseball.

407
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: But there's objective truths and personal feelings and somewhere in

408
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: the middle, we've got to bring you what the facts are.

447
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: Thanks Kevin, I need a Kleenex after your speech here,

448
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: big fella. Yah.

449
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: I much appreciate.

450
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: And we love the NFL Draft. It's it made for

451
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: TV event. Eleven and a half million people watched, And

452
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 2: as I mentioned at the top, it was unusual. From

453
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: the standpoint you thought four or five quarterbacks might go

454
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: in the first round. That didn't happen. Actually, four receivers

455
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: not only went in the first round, four in a

456
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: row from pick twenty on and that hasn't happened since

457
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty seven. But the big talk that really dominated

458
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 2: even a lot of the sports talk radio shows today

459
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: around the country and even some TV shows was the

460
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: visual of Will Levis. Now, we've seen this before. We

461
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 2: saw with Aaron Rodgers. We see it's an old hat, right.

462
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 2: The poor kid shows up day one expecting to be drafted.

463
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: Doesn't happen. It's happened in the NBA two, all right.

464
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: What's interesting is it might end up being the best

465
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: thing that ever happened to Will Levis because there'll be

466
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: a different set of expectations on him. Now, you may

467
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: or may not know or recall, but the nineteen eighty

468
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: three draft, which is considered maybe the greatest of all

469
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: time because of all the Hall of Famers that came

470
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 2: out of it, six quarterbacks drafted in the first round. Well,

471
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: at the very end of the first round, the sixth

472
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 2: quarterback drafted was a guy by the name of Dan Marino,

473
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: who became a Hall of Famer. There were three Hall

474
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: of famers in the first round on that quarterback only,

475
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 2: but Marino, coming out of pit didn't have a great

476
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 2: senior season, but he was very projectable and he was

477
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: drafted late in the first round. And of course they

478
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 2: were teeth gnashing and go falling but look what happened

479
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: to Marino. Look what happened and how he benefited from that.

480
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: He ends up going to the Miami Dolphins, which were

481
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: a very good football team. Yeah, the Miami Dolphins four

482
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 2: months earlier had been in the Super Bowl. Granted they

483
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 2: lost to the Washington Redskins, but they were a Super

484
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: Bowl team. Number Two, his coach would be Don Shula.

485
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: So you're surrounded by Super Bowl talent and your head

486
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: coach is Don Shula, who is gone down in history

487
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: as one of the great quarterback whisperers of all time.

488
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: And then the third thing, because of what happened, the

489
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: expectations for Marino paled in comparison to some of the

490
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 2: other quarterbacks. And that's how these things were typically in

491
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 2: the NFL. Expectations juxtaposed against actual performance are what ultimately

492
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: defines a legacy, at least early on of a career. Look,

493
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 2: what's that going to happen to Justin Fields and Trey Lance. Well,

494
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: you've got my strong opinions on those. You know how

495
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: I feel about both those quarterbacks. I'm not going to

496
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: dive into it, but I'll tell you this. The forty

497
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: nine ers gave up a veritable plethora of future Hall

498
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: of Fame craziness and first round draft picks and all

499
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: kinds of stuff, if I'm not mistaken. Their twenty one

500
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 2: pick was packaged to trade off for Jalen Waddle. The

501
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: twenty two picks sent to the Chiefs, they got Tyreek Hill,

502
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: and let me put me back up, the Dolphins got

503
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: three first rounders in the deal with the forty nine

504
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: ers that were directly related to the trade lance Deep

505
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: because minam we traded all three of them. That pick

506
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 2: was packaged to trade up for Jalen Waddle in twenty one.

507
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: The twenty two pick was sent to the Chiefs and

508
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: they got Tech Hill, and the twenty three pick was

509
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: sent to the Broncos for Bradley Chubb. I'd say they

510
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: did pretty well, didn't they. So let's see what happens

511
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: down the road with Will Levis, and people have their opinions,

512
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: but let the robber hit the road. Let's see what

513
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: Tennessee does with him. All right, As we mentioned in

514
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: the NFL draft is always unpredictable. As expected the Panthers,

515
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 2: they did take Bryce Young first overall, after that thing

516
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: started to get wacky. Now, Young was one of four

517
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who were unanimously expected to go in the first round,

518
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: no question, but only three did. I can't get over

519
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: how clever the Houston Texans were. They successfully tricked everyone

520
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: into believing they were going to pass on a quarterback,

521
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: and then they went ahead and took C. J. Stroud

522
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: with the second pick. But little we know behind the scenes,

523
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: they were maneuvering to trader for the third pick and

524
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 2: they were able to get Will Anderson. And then after

525
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: the Colts took Anthony Richardson at number four, there was

526
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: still one presumpt of around quarterback on the board, and

527
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: that was Kentucky's Will Levis. And that's where the story

528
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: sort of began. That will be the story that was

529
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: surround this draft. As the night dragged on, he saw

530
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: it over and over, and I went back and forth

531
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: between the NFL Network coverage with Joel Klatt and ESPN,

532
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: back and forth, but ESPN repeatedly cut to tight shots

533
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: of Levis waiting in the green room, surrounded by several women.

534
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: At the end of the night, he's studn't been taken.

535
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: And for some people it was a real shock. Considering

536
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: a lot of the observers, certainly the group that echo Chambers,

537
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: certainly the mock draft people. They expected him to go

538
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: somewhere in the middle of the first round. Perhaps some

539
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 2: people thought his i as the top five. A couple

540
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: noted national writers had Levis going to the Colts at

541
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: number four in their final mock drafts. Albert Brer had

542
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: him going to twelve at the Texas. Remember the Texas

543
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: drafted again twelve, and that's where the trades came. The

544
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: reason Levis dropped in the draft apparently teams started to

545
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: talk about they were concerned about a tow win injury

546
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: that requires surgery. And then what happens when other teams

547
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: don't draft him. It becomes the group think eguo Chiama.

548
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: You start to doubt your own evaluation. But the slide

549
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: was the biggest surprise of the night, but it wasn't

550
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: the only shocking development. Let's go back to the Texans

551
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: where they raised eyebrows. They take Strout at number two.

552
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 2: Then they turn around and immediately trade for the next pick,

553
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: which they used to take Will Anderson of Alabama I

554
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: believe the safest pick in the draft. Now, Houston did

555
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: pay a steep price to trade up because they had

556
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: to give the Arizona Cardinals the twelfth and thirty third

557
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: picks in this year's draft and first and third round

558
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,239
Speaker 2: picks in next year's draft. But they got picked one

559
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: oh five back from the Cardinals. Very aggressive move, very

560
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: ballsy move. But I believe that made the Houston Texans

561
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: one of the biggest winners. You got Will Anderson and

562
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: CT Strout, Ohio State and Alabama offense and defense. You

563
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: start to form an identity. I love Dmiico Ryans already.

564
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: I already did. And don't think he didn't have his

565
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: fingerprints all over this along with the rest of the Texans.

566
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: BRASSFT picks are nothing more than inanimate objects on a

567
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: piece of paper until you bring a real, live human

568
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 2: being into the fold. So when you bring in Will

569
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: Anderson and you bring in TJ. Stroud, I see you.

570
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: That's a pretty damn good start. Now, some folks are

571
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: going to criticize the Texans for trading back into the

572
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 2: top three for such a significant cost, but come on,

573
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: Houston is in dire need of talent, elite talent, and

574
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: they got some. They got too. One who can become

575
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: the face of the offense, one who can become the

576
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: face of the defense, and if the Texans hit on

577
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: both those picks, they have genuine building blocks that can

578
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 2: start to anchor the roster on both sides of the

579
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: ball for the next five to eight years, maybe ten years.

580
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: It's a bold move, it's a smart move. That's what

581
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: the Demico Ryans era. He's going to be noted for

582
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: regardless of where they go. Now, the Detroit Lions really

583
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: surprised me. They've had three good drafts in a row,

584
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: and they surprised me for the wrong reasons. There was

585
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: a lot of talk before the draft about Bjon Robinson

586
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: coming out of Texas. Where would he go on the board.

587
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: There were no running backs selected in the first round

588
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: last year. Robinson bjeon he's going to be an interesting

589
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: star on the NFL. He was expected to become the

590
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: first player to we picked at that position this year.

591
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: Remember Barkley, Let's see what was he taking like number

592
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: eight three or four years ago? No, no, no, no, check

593
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: that check that. Barkley was like twenty fourth. But Robinson

594
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: was selected at eight by the Falcons. Now the second

595
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: best running back in the draft at Alabama's Jamiir Gibbs,

596
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: considered maybe a French first rounder, So that's where Detroit

597
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: kind of shock ween even pissed me off a little

598
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: bit when they took Jamiir Gibbs at number twelve. Nothing

599
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: against Jamiir Gibbs, I'm going to say the same thing

600
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: I say about Jamiir Gibbs that I said about Calvin

601
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: Johnson back in two thousand and seven. I covered that draft.

602
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 2: I love the player, but I don't love the pick.

603
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: Why the hell would the Lions pass up on Jalen Carter?

604
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: Maybe they got the reasons. Why would they pass up

605
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: on Tyree Wilson. They've already got Aiden Hutchinson and the

606
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 2: makings of a good defense. The Lions have offense, that

607
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: is not the issue. Their offensive line is good. They

608
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: need to build in their interior line. They need to

609
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: get more pass rushers, They need to get more cornerbacks.

610
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: They were all set to draft Evan Witherspoon out of Illinois.

611
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: I believe absolutely that was going to happen until Seattle

612
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: beat them to the punch at number five. When Detroit

613
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: saw that, they decided to trade down, Arizona moved up

614
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 2: to six, Detroit moved back, and you saw what happened

615
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 2: from that point. Now, I give it up to Jamiro Gibbs.

616
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: He's an electric playmaker. But the decision at twelve doesn't

617
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: make sense for multiple reasons. One, the Lions already have

618
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 2: Deandres Swrift and David Montgomery, and they probably could have

619
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 2: gotten Gibbs with their eighteenth pick. Maybe the Lions do

620
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: want to risk it after they saw b John Robinson

621
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: go eight. But why did Detroit go offense that early?

622
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 2: They need to bolster their defense. They should have gotten

623
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: other cornerbacks. They should have gotten other edge rushers or

624
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: again Jalen Carter, Tyree Wilson. There Lions elect not to

625
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: do that. Why, I don't know. We shall see. It's

626
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: there's a long way to go, and the lines were

627
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: actually pretty pretty active in free agency. Coming up. Howie

628
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: Roseman did it again. He lands Jalen Carter. Carter surrounded

629
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 2: by three ex Georgia teammates. That'll provide the greatest support system.

630
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 2: The rich get richer. Let's give Howard Roseman some flowers.

631
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: This isn't his first barbecue. He's been doing it in

632
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 2: a while. That's how the Eagles got to the Super Bowl.

633
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fradderwick coming to the line from Las Vegas,

634

Speaker 2: will explain all that, and the game show resumes at

649
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 2: top of the hour of Bernie's Backyard Bunk and Bets.

650
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: You know growing up in New Jersey Marlborough Township. To

651
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: be exact on young Holly Roseman, who's become what I

652
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 2: believe is the premiere NFL executive working. He wrote letters

653
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: to every NFL general manager asking for an opportunity. But

654
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: the letters were very funny, they were very clever, and

655
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 2: they would start off by saying, my name is Holly Roseman.

656
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: I don't play football. I've never played football. I've never

657
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: even set foot on a football field. I've never been

658
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 2: on a football sideline. I've never been a coach, assistant manager,

659
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: water boy, anything. But someday, if you hired me, I'll

660
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 2: be one of the best gms in the National Football League.

661
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: Well imagine getting that letter. Well, he was determined. He

662
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: sent out over fourteen hundred those types of letters until

663
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 2: finally Mike Tannenbaum, who was with the New York Jets

664
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: at the time, became curious. He said, his kid, he's

665
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: either the craziest person on the planet or the most persistent,

666
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: but I'm going to find out. One thing led to another,

667
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 2: tann and Mike Tannenbaum, who didn't have anything, he called

668
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: Joe Banner with the Eagles. The rest is history. He

669
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,479
Speaker 2: got an internship and it went from there. So how's

670
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 2: he done. Well, let's just look at the twenty twenty

671
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: two Eagles. Okay, they were an incredible collection of talent.

672
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: But how Howie Roseman built that team as ingenius. The

673
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: first thing he did was he put together the best

674
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 2: offensive and defensive lines in the league. And then by

675
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: snapping his fingers, he upgraded the receiver room. Just like that.

676
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 2: He trades to Tennessee and gets a J Brown. Then

677
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 2: he drafts DeVante Smith out of Alabama boom receivers, offensive line,

678
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 2: defensive line. Then after the Carson Wentz Tobaco came to Fruition,

679
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 2: he regrouped drafted another gentleman, Jalen Hurts, in the second

680
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: round of the twenty twenty NFL Draft. You remember that

681
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: COVID draft when Rodgerdell was hitting in that weird chair.

682
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah you do, of course you do. That's when they

683
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 2: got Jalen Hurts, who had just transferred to Oklahoma because

684
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: he couldn't beat out to at Alabama. But you know

685
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: the story. Rosemand then found a guy by the name

686
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 2: of Jordan Mulada. He came from Australia, a rugby player,

687
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: turns him into a starting left tackle. Then Roseman finds

688
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 2: another defensive line stalwart, a gentleman by the name of

689
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 2: Hassan Reddick. He only got sixteen sacks last season. Then

690
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 2: Roseman waited for the Giants and they waved cornerback James Bradberry.

691
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: Five days later Roseman signed him. Then Roseman had the

692
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 2: wherewithal and the prescient knowledge to sign and identified Nick Siriani,

693
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: and so the guy who might be an up and

694
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: coming head coach despite having no previous head coaching experience

695
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: at any level. And Siriani didn't exactly rock the planet

696
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 2: with his opening press conference, but look at the results.

697
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: This roster has Roseman's fingerprints all over it. All those

698
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,479
Speaker 2: letters that Rosemand sent starting when he was ten years

699
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 2: old became things of a legend. Puts some respect on

700
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 2: his name. This is a young kid he told everyone

701
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 2: he'd be one day, he'd be a general manager in

702
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 2: the NFL. Now he's at the top of his profession,

703
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: there's no doubt. And what does he do opening night

704
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: of the draft gets Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith out

705
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 2: of Georgia. You know, a bought some of Jalen Carter's issues.

706
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 2: But if his head's on straight and his work ethic

707
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 2: is there, and he keeps his head down, straightens up,

708
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 2: flies right, he's going to be an absolute force for

709
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 2: the Eagle the rich get richer. So what does Roseman do.

710
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: He brings him in and surrounds him with three ex

711
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 2: Georgia teammates that'll keep him in line. And you know

712
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 2: they will. That's just ingenious to be in the Super Bowl,

713
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: to draft that late and bolster your rot your roster

714
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 2: that much more. Picked up another great offensive lineman out

715
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 2: of Alabama earlier today. Hi Roseman, you get your flowers

716

Speaker 1: Glad to be back, Bernie. We didn't get it last week.

739
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: Nope. And folks, we're ready to roll. And by the way,

Speaker 2: We're full up tonight, but welcome you in next week.

743
00:40:59,040 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: Ethan taking away.

744
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 7: All right, So first we're gonna get Mitchell from Ohio.

745
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 7: Mitchell is a caller. He's called three four times. Mitchell.

746
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: Thanks for having but we're glad to have you back.

747
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: All right.

748
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: So first trivia question of the.

749
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 7: Night, what was Muhammad Ali's birth name before he changed it?

750
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: Bernie, Ethan, that would be the legendary Cassius Clay Boom.

751
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 7: All right, good good, Bernie Good. I'm surprised you didn't

752
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 7: get that one. Mitchell usually usually on fire with these trivia.

753
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 7: All right, let's go to Let's go to the bet

754
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 7: here An MBA. The Western Conference semifinals starts tomorrow between

755
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 7: the Suns. They'll travel to Denver to take on the

756
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 7: Nuggets at five thirty Pacific, eight thirty Eastern. The Nuggets

757
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 7: are currently minus two and a half. Will you be

758
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 7: taking the Nuggets the Suns plus two.

759
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: And a half?

760
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: All right, Mitchell, going with the Suns plus two and

761
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: a half.

762
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 2: Yes, they're a higher seed that I'm surprised to see

763
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 2: the Suns as a road favorite here. I still think

764
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 2: Denver is the most complete team. They played much better defense.

765
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 2: I'll take the Nuggets in the points at home. All right.

766
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: You guys are split on that one, Mitchell.

767
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,200

772
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 2: When part of Montana is from there, buddydu Mizula, former,

773
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 2: do the Brewers still have a team in the Pioneer

774
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 2: League there they used to do back in the day.

775
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 8: No, you could be the Diamondbacks system yep.

776
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 2: Lead before them. Yeah, the Diamondbacks were born. And I'm thinking,

777
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 2: what ninety eight? But I might be dating myself back,

778
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Let's move ahead, my friends.

779
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 7: All right, here we go, Chad. We had you on

780
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 7: the first week. You appreciate you for calling back. All right,

781
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 7: how many miles is a marathon? Exactly to the decimaluh.

782
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: At ten point two, Ethan, It's actually twenty six point.

783
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: Two miles, all right, Bernie.

784
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 2: And that, of course comes from the ancient Greek times

785
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 2: when a messenger had to deliver something and he had

786
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: to run and the distance ended up being twenty six

787
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 2: point two miles. And you know, Ethan, I've always wanted

788
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: to run a marathon. I can do the twenty six,

789
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 2: I just can't do the last two. So I said,

790
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: hell with it, Bernie.

791
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll Bernie, maybe we'll do it one day.

792
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 2: That's right. Maybe I'll call a cab like Rosie Ruiz googlet. Folks.

793
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: All right, Chad, you ever run a You ever run

794
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: a marathon?

795
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 2: Or no? I never have.

796
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,919
Speaker 8: No, I don't run, but I'll tell you I could

797
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 8: have gotten cash as play though.

798
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: All right, well time, maybe I brought a ten k.

799
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 2: Does that count?

800
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, we'll give it to you, Bernie. All right, thanks,

801
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 7: all right, here we go. We're gonna keep it in

802
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 7: the NBA. Sunday, the Heat traveled to New York to

803
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 7: take on the Knicks for a ten am Pacific one

804
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 7: pm Eastern start. The Knicks are currently at minus four.

805
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 7: Will you be taking the Knicks at minus four? Are

806
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 7: you taking the Heat at plus four?

807
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 8: I'm gonna take the next. They're rolling right now. They're

808
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 8: looking really good. Take the next at.

809
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: Home, all right, Bernie.

810
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with Chad. I think the price is

811
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 2: right where it should be. I give the Heat top

812
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 2: credit for what they just did to the Milwaukee Bucks.

813
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 2: I think Tom Thibodeau finds a way to at least

814
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: attempt to put Jimmy Butler in advice. I like the

815
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: Knicks and I think they'll pull away late.

816
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: Awesome, all right, Chad, appreciate you for calling in.

817
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 8: Hey, I got one more thing for Bernie on that

818
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 8: Denver Nuggets game. I'm a huge Nuggets fan and I

819
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 8: like that you victim.

820
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 9: Here's why, aw I looked at.

821
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 8: That game is if the Nuggets can play defense, they're

822
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 8: gonna win that game for sure. That's the key.

823
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 2: Of the Nuggets. The Nuggets do play defense. And I

824
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 2: talked about them last week in terms of their the

825
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 2: players that commit to defense, and they're the most complete

826
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 2: team and they got the best player in the West

827
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 2: and Nicole Yokin Soil. We're an agreement.

828
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 8: All right.

829
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 2: Well, thanks so much, buddy, appreciate it.

830
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: All right.

831
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 7: Next week got Poppy from San Diego. Poppy, Hey, thanks

832
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 7: for coming on. All right, you can always count on Poppy.

833
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 2: That's right.

834
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 7: All right, here we go a question for you, Poppy.

835
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 7: How old was Tiger Woods when he won his first Masters?

836
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 4: Oh? Wow, I'll take twenty one. Give me twenty one.

837
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: Wow, that's right. I think he's right. I'll tell you

838
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 2: why Tiger was born. Tiger was born in December of

839
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: seventy five. His first Masters was nineteen ninety seven, won

840
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: by twelve strokes, And so that was that tournament was

841
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: April of ninety seven, so he would have just turned

842
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: twenty one, what four months before? He wouldn't turn twenty

843
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: two till the following December, So twenty one is correct.

844
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: Wow, very impressive by the both of you.

845
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 7: All Right, good, we're gonna go to the bet for you, Poppy,

846
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 7: it's gonna be We're gonna stay in the NBA.

847
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna go.

848
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 7: The first round is gonna wrap up with Game seven

849
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 7: between the Warriors and Kings. The Warriors will travel to

850
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 7: Sacramento to take on the Kings for a twelve thirty

851
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 7: Pacific three thirty Eastern start. The Warriors are currently minus one.

852
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 7: We'd be taking the Warriors minus one or the Kings

853
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 7: plus one.

854
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 10: Well, this is an easy one.

855
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 2: I think on the blots, you know, as.

856
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 4: I always say, stop boss, for the Boss is gonna

857
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 4: be there.

858
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 10: I'm gonna take the home thing.

859
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 2: Let's go with the King's fun.

860
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 7: All right, Poppy, Kings, Bernie fair enough.

861
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: This is one of those zig zag games that the

862
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 2: NBA is so famous for. And when you look at

863
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 2: the Kings tonight and you look at their energy, and

864
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 2: you look at the way that they put it together

865
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 2: on both sides to win the road game. And yes,

866
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 2: the Kings were the best home team in the NBA

867
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 2: this year. But this is where you got to be

868
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 2: a contrain and think, like the book, I'm gonna hold

869
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: my nose and go with the Golden State Warriors. All right,

870
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 2: good luck, Poppy, because I'll tell you if the King's advance,

871
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,240
Speaker 2: I think it's a great I think it's a great story.

872
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 3: All right.

873
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,680

888
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 2: but Mark does a good job, a little liberal. All right,

889
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: here's a h here's a hint for you. If you

890
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 2: like Sue Flays actually going to be in Paris twenty

891
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 2: twenty four. It's going to be upon us, believe it

892
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 2: or not. They start next July, which isn't that far away.

893
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty four Summer Olympics will be in Paris,

894
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 2: not Paris, Texas, Paris, France.

895
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: All right, Bernie, great job.

896
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 7: All right, here we go, Ryan, We're going to go

897
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 7: to the NHL playoffs.

898
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: We got the Lightning and the Maple Leafs.

899
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 7: Toronto currently leads the series three to The Leafs will

900
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 7: travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Lightning for

901
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 7: a four Pacific seven Eastern start. Will be taking the

902
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 7: Lightning in a pick them or the Maple Leafs.

903
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: That was quick, Bernie.

904
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what. I'm my harder with the Maple Leafs. See,

905
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 2: I haven't won a playoff series since two thousand and four.

906
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 2: They've done a hell of a job, but they lot,

907
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: they let Tampa Bay up off the mat, and so

908
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 2: I I think Tampa Bay gets it done. Vassilevski has

909
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: one good game in them as goal. I'm gonna go

910
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 2: with the I'm going to go with the Tampa Bay Lightning. However, however,

911
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 2: Ryan with Ryan right now, Ryan, sorry about that. If

912
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 2: I think it'd be great for hockey to see a

913
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 2: team north of the border finally advance. You know, Winnipeg

914
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: just got pull axed by the Vegas Golden Knights and

915
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 2: Ottawa Montreal. I mean, none of them do well anymore,

916
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: so it'd be kind of cool to see the maple

917
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 2: leafs in there, but I think I can't go against

918
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay in that spot.

919
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, well they've been hot.

920
00:49:59,040 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 7: Man.

921
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 11: I got to ask you, Bernie, when are we going

922
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 11: to be talking about the Run for the Roses next week?

923
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 2: The Run for the Roses? Well, we will talk about

924
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,800

949
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:17,560

950
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:21,759

Speaker 7: Yeah, check out the standings. All right, here we go.

957
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 7: We're gonna keep it in the NHL. The Devil's travel

00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 7: to New York to take on the Rangers for a

959
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 7: five Pacific eight Eastern Star tomorrow. It's a pick them.

960
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,439
Speaker 7: The series is currently Devil's lead three to two. Will

961
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 7: you be riding the Rangers or the Devils in New

962
00:51:59,120 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 7: York tomorrow?

963
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 2: So this is a really fascinating matchup.

964
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 8: I like this.

965
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 10: The Rangers took the first two and the Devils have been.

966
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:08,320
Speaker 9: On a hot streak.

967
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 10: They won the last three and.

968
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 12: I think they're going to keep that train rolling and

969
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 12: they're gonna win four.

970
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 2: Straight and really kind of a little sweet action, you know,

971
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 2: winning forth straight. Yeah, I'm in agreement. As Adam Sandler's

972
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 2: mom said in The water Boys, The Devil, the Devil. Yeah, listen,

973
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 2: I've actually got the Devils advancing all the way to

974
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup Finals. That's how good I think they are.

975
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 2: So I think they finish off the Rangers. I were

976
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 2: an agreement.

977
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 7: Awesome, all right, Nathan, you appreciate you for calling in,

978
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 7: and we'll see you next week calling.

979
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 8: Yes, sir, thanks for the layoup.

980
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: All right. So they're getting better on the trivia. They

981
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 2: got two of the five this week. So but I

982
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 2: think I was three. And oh, what's my trivia record? Now?

983
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: Well, it must be you.

984
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 7: You gotta give me a second, actually have to do

985
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 7: it right now. It's pretty good. I think it's I

986
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 7: think it's in thet I gotta I.

987
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 2: Think there's more than ninety percent. I think.

988
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's that helped you, all right?

989
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 2: All right, Another rousing edition of Bernie's Backyard bunkin Bets.

990
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 2: The game Nathan put together. It's been great response the

991
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 2: listeners have done well. We'll give the phone number out

992

993
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: are in week five of the game, Ethan, is that right?

994
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: Week five?

995
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so we've completed four. It's going to go twelve weeks,

996
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 2: so we'll rip off those weeks between now and probably

997
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 2: going to end right around the second week in June.

998
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 2: I'm guessing, but just as a heads up, the bottom

999
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:39,959
Speaker 2: line is starting again. We'll resume next Friday eight seven,

1000
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 2: seven nine ninety six six three six nine seven ninety nine.

1001
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 2: Fox is the number next Friday, eleven forty five Pacific.

1002

1004
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 2: keep going back. This is a marathon, not a sprint,

1005
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 2: as fox Weed says, twenty six point two miles from

1006
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 2: Athens to Marathon. That's why it's called a marathon. Nicely done, Sposweed.

Speaker 2: the Memphis Grizzlies and will advance to the winner of

1024
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 2: Goland State. I believe Goland State, Sacramento. We'll talk to

1025
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 2: Mark about that all right. This past week Thursday, was

1026
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 2: it a good day or a bad day for Wisconsin fans?

1027
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 2: Let's start with Aaron Rodgers. Everyone knew was coming. Finally

1028
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 2: the news happened. Rogers officially traded to the Jets, and

1029
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 2: to some Packer fans. I think it's a blow. I do,

1030
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 2: But here's let's break it down. The Jets get Aaron Rodgers.

1031
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 2: The Jets get the Packers twenty twenty three first round pick,

1032
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 2: which was number fifteen the other day. Let's see if

1033
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken. If I'm not mistaken, the Packers took

1034
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 2: Will McDonald's. Bottom line is you know who they got.

1035
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 2: The Packers get to twenty three fifth round pick, number

1036
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 2: one seventy. Now let me try that again in English.

1037
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 2: The Jets got Aaron Rodgers, the Packers twenty twenty three

1038
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 2: first round pick at fifteen to the Packers fifth round pick,

1039
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:14,919
Speaker 2: which will be Saturday. The Packers get the jets twenty

1040
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 2: twenty three first round pick at thirteen. That's one of

1041
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 2: the things they moved up for. They drafted Lucas van

1042
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 2: Ness and Edgresher out of Iowa, Okay. The Packers also

1043
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 2: got the jets twenty three second round pick at forty two,

1044
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 2: the twenty three sixth round pick at two seven. That'll

1045
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 2: be Saturday. Then it pushes to next year. The Jets

1046
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 2: get the number twenty four conditional second round pick, which

1047
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 2: could become a first round pick if Aaron Rodgers plays

1048
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 2: roughly sixty five percent of the Jets offensive snaps this season,

1049
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 2: which would be about eleven games, which I think he'll

1050
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 2: do that actually, So that's going to be a pretty

1051
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 2: good deal for the Jets, I suppose, because they get

1052
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 2: Rogers in exchange for two draft picks while trading back

1053
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 2: two spots in the first round of this year's draft

1054
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 2: and moving up from the sixth to the fifth. But

1055
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 2: the Packers, I still think got what they wanted more

1056
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: than the Jets. They got rid of a guy who

1057
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 2: had no interest in remaining in Green Bay. They got

1058
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: a decent olive draft picks. Here's what happens now, though,

1059
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 2: because I have no idea if Jordan Love can play,

1060
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 2: and you don't either. There's a story back in two

1061
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: thousand and seven, and this is after Aaron Rodgers came

1062
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 2: off the Bets at the bench in that Thursday night

1063
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 2: game against the Cowboys and looked terrific immediately, athletic, vibrant,

1064
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 2: rocket arm, making plays with his feet, moving the change

1065
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 2: on third down. It was very impressive first impression. But

1066
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 2: when it was learned in the offseason the following year

1067
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 2: that Bret Farv was on his way to the Jets.

1068
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 2: Rogers got the text and he says we're heading in

1069
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 2: the keys of the car. Are you ready? And Aaron

1070
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 2: Rodgers admitted, I don't know. I think I am, But

1071
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 2: until the National Football League season kicks off and it's

1072
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 2: now Jordan Love's team, You're never gonna know. He's never

1073
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 2: going to know until the real bullets start to fly

1074
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 2: and the rubber hits the road and life in the

1075
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 2: National Football League in folds and living color. Because you

1076
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 2: now are the purveyor of the Green Bay Packers franchise

1077
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 2: after following in the footsteps of Brett Favre and Aaron

1078
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 2: Rodgers in the last three decades, it's a new era,

1079
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 2: almost forty years of stability at quarterback, and I think

1080
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: expectations might be unfair for Jordan Love, but that's what

1081
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 2: she signed up for. Rogers legacy is simple. He's probably

1082
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 2: the best quarterback ever. He could say he's better than

1083
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 2: Bart Starr. You could say he's better than Brett Favre.

1084
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 2: That's a fact. For the Jets. I think it's a

1085
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 2: relief they finally solve their quarterback issue that's plagued him

1086
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 2: for a decade. If they haven't had a top ten

1087
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 2: offense or a twenty touchdown passer in eight years. The

1088
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 2: only Jet to throw for four thousand yards in a

1089
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 2: season the great Joe Namath. Of course, the Jets Super

1090
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 2: Bowl adds jumped after the news broke. But Rogers and

1091
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 2: forget to forget the age. He's going to turn forward

1092
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 2: this year. If he can just lead a competent offense,

1093
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 2: doesn't even need to be a top tier attack, the

1094
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 2: Jets are going to be a playoff team. The Jets

1095
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 2: defense was a top five unit last year. If Rogers

1096
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 2: can inject some confidence into Zach Wilson, which is another

1097
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 2: byproduct of this, there's one of the best deals in

1098
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 2: team history. Here's the biggest question mark the Rogers. You know,

1099
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 2: he had promising pieces on offense. The Jets had promising

1100
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 2: pieces on offense last year, but it was a shame

1101
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 2: because Brees Hall, who was just a bellcow stud you know, rookie,

1102
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 2: and Garrett Wilson, but they had injuries and the Jets

1103
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 2: with their quarterbacks, scored the fourth fewest points in the league.

1104
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 2: And the defense is among the league's best. So here's

1105
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 2: the bottom line. Will the Rogers offense be enough to

1106
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: put the Jets over the hump, I think it will.

1107
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 2: I really like this Jets team. They're really good. All right,

1108
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 2: So was it a good week for Wisconsin sports? Well,

1109
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 2: they moved along. But then how about the Bucks? And

1110
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 2: we're going to go over this with Mark Madin in

1111
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 2: just a minute. I don't like to use the word choke,

1112
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 2: and you know it's being compared to the two thousand

1113
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 2: and seven Mavericks. But when you finished the season with

1114
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 2: the league high fifty eight wins and you funnel away

1115
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 2: an elimination game at home, I will tell you, and

1116
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 2: you've got a sixteen point lead in the fourth quarter,

1117
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 2: Oh man, how does that happen? And then a game

1118
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 2: tying alley you from Gabe Vincent to Jimmy Butler with

1119
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 2: less than a second left. That's gonna wake up Milwaukee fans.

1120
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a nightmare for years. And then, finally,

1121
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 2: just for fun, the overtime period ends, the Bucks final possession,

1122
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 2: you still had a chance to tire or win. It

1123
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 2: ends with the ball in Grayson Allen's hands. He doesn't

1124
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 2: even get a shot off before time expired. Now people

1125
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 2: are calling for Mike Budenholzer's job. We'll talk to Mark

1126
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 2: Medina about that coming up, But first let's go back

1127
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 2: to our guy, first round draft choice, Kevin Figures.

1128
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 5: All right, Bernie, Well, we'll start in the NBA playoffs

1129
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 5: from Friday night, Lakers dominating Memphis one twenty five to

1130
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 5: eighty five, taking their first round series in six games.

1131
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 5: D'Angelo Russell thirty one for LA, Anthony Davis sixteen points,

1132
01:00:56,120 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 5: fourteen boards, five block shots earlier on Friday year and

1133
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 5: Fox score twenty six, leading Sacramento to a one eighteen

1134
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 5: to ninety nine victory over the Warriors, forcing a game

1135
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 5: seven in the state capitol Sunday afternoon. LA will face

1136
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 5: the winner of that series. In baseball Friday, the Dodgers

1137
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 5: beat the Cardinals seven to three. Texas defeated the Yankees

1138
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 5: five to two. Jacob de Gram didn't leave the game

1139
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 5: in the fourth inning with forearm tightness. Philly's defeated Houston,

1140
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 5: while Atlanta shut out the Mets in a range shortened

1141
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 5: five inning affair. Notable names to be taken into Ay

1142
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 5: two of the NFL Draft include Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker

1143
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 5: going to Detroit, Kentucky quarterback Will Levis selected by the Titans,

1144
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 5: and the Steelers drafting Penn State cornerback Joey Porter Junior.

1145
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: All right, back to Bernie Freddo All right, Kevin.

1146
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 2: Usually you hear this gentleman midnight Saturday night Medina Magic,

1147
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 2: but I will tell you so much is happening. It

1148
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 2: warranted a special Friday edition for a gentleman you know

1149
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 2: here he is. It's that time. It's always a great

1150
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 2: time for Mark Mendina Medina Magic. He is our NBA

1151
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 2: guru here at Fox Sports Radio. Mark, thanks for making

1152
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 2: time on a Friday night. Are you still at the

1153
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Crypto Arena.

1154
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 12: I'm still at Crypto Arena, typing away. As you noted,

1155
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 12: Lots of stuff going on in the Lakers playoff games.

1156
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 9: Right off, Packer.

1157
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 2: We're going to get to that in just a second.

1158
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 2: So much done packed tonight and hardest working man in

1159
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 2: rock and roll NBA, Mark Medina Medina Magic. Let's start

1160
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 2: with a big news. Jason Tatum apologized to Janet Jackson

1161
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 2: for delaying the concert. Did she accept the apology?

1162
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 9: I don't think she has any other choice.

1163
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 12: I mean, look, there's always scheduling snafus that happened, but

1164
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 12: the reality of sporting events always takes pressing over concerts

1165
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 12: because it's easier a rescheduled concerts. So yeah, she has

1166
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 12: no choice about to accept the apology.

1167
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 2: Mark, let's start a thirty thousand feet in descend. The

1168
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 2: Bucks were really a big story this week. I thought

1169
01:02:55,560 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 2: Joannison tennakoople and his press conference was actually almost poignant.

1170
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 2: It was brilliant, Actually it was. It was really terrific.

1171
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 2: Give me your thoughts on the Bucks moving forward. I've

1172
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 2: never called for a coach's job, and I'm not going

1173
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 2: to start now, But is Mike Budenholzer in trouble.

1174
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 12: I don't think he's in trouble. I mean he's built

1175
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 12: a lot of equity with you know, winning a championship

1176
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 12: in twenty twenty one, and I think the consistent successes they've.

1177
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 9: Had, no doubt.

1178
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 12: It was a disappointment that the Bucks lost the first

1179
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 12: round of the Miami Heat, but I think you have

1180
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,919
Speaker 12: to keep it find a few things the Byab Heat.

1181
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 12: They're a good team, they're the real deal. But I

1182
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 12: think secondly, you know, Lakers coach Jarvinham was talking about

1183
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 12: this whole issue before the game. He's a former Bucks

1184
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 12: assistant coach. He actually revealed that Mike Budenholzer has been

1185
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 12: going through a lot of personal stuff with losing his brother,

1186
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 12: and so I think that internally the Bucks are mindful

1187
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 12: of those sort of circumstances and how it can affect,

1188
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 12: you know, a performance as far as work goes.

1189
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 9: So I would be very surprised if he's let go.

1190
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 12: But no doubt, you know, the Bucks obviously were to

1191
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 12: win a championship. And even though Giannis gave a very

1192
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 12: eloquent speech about how you know, we should view failure

1193
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 12: and success in sports, the reality is, you know, semantics aside,

1194
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 12: this is not what the Bucks envisions. We're losing the

1195
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 12: first round, so they're going to have to, you know,

1196
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 12: make sure they make the necessary adjustments for next season

1197
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 12: so they get back in the hut.

1198
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Mark, you're never going to like the way

1199
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 2: you lose. We used to talk about that when I

1200
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 2: covered the Detroit Lions pre and post. But the Bucks

1201
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 2: had a sixteen point lead in the fourth quarter, they

1202
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 2: give up that Alley op to Jimmy Butler, and then

1203
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 2: the way it ended with Grace and Allen not getting

1204
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 2: a shot off. How do you process that? Seriously if

1205
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 2: you're a Bucks fanily, because that was just an absolute meltdown.

1206
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, it really was. And I think even when you

1207
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 9: put into.

1208
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 12: Context the fact that Giannis is hurt for two and

1209
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 12: a half games, the reality is the Bucks. You know,

1210
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 12: maybe it's a structures think they can win a championship

1211
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 12: without Giannis if he's not healthy long term, but they

1212
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 12: should be able to still be even a Miami Heat

1213
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 12: team with everyone else on the floor. I mean, they

1214
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 12: have all star caliber players with Chris Milson, Drew Holiday.

1215
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 9: I talked to Drew.

1216
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 12: Holiday earlier in the season, and he felt like what

1217
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 12: made their big three really distinguishable is not only did

1218
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 12: they compliment each other, but well one player was down,

1219
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 12: they were able to fill the void and mitigate it.

1220
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 12: And that's something that happened earlier this season when Chris

1221
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 12: Milson was out. Now, Yahna's much different caliber player, but

1222
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 12: the Bucks still should have been able to hold the

1223
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 12: four down when he was limited or out entirely. And

1224
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 12: that's why I slightly disagree with Giannis's perspective about failure. Look,

1225
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 12: I think that he was very well reasoned. I think

1226
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 12: that he has a healthy perspective on life and prioritizing

1227
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 12: what sports me in the grand scheme of things. But

1228
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 12: the reality is I remember the late Kobe Bryant one

1229
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 12: said after they lost in the second round after winning

1230
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 12: two titles and three finals appearances, and he said, you know,

1231
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 12: any season doesn't end in a championship is a wasted

1232
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 12: year of my life. And so I don't think that

1233
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 12: anyone is ever going to view giannicis entire career or

1234
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 12: the Bucks recent seasons as a failure.

1235
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 9: But I think that you.

1236
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 12: Can look at this individual season as a failure, and

1237
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 12: now it's about what do they do moving forward to

1238
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 12: bounce back so that it leads to a success story.

1239
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a league high fifty eight wins, so

1240
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 2: they were expectations staying in the Eastbroal quickly top credit

1241
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 2: to the Knicks to win their first playoff series in

1242
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 2: a decade. They're doing convincing action against Cleveland. Now they

1243
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 2: open up against a game Miami team. Did mine shoot

1244
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 2: their wide or are they going to be a problem

1245
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 2: for the Knicks.

1246
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 9: I think it's gonna be competitive theories.

1247
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 12: I mean, look, I think Jimmy Butler, he obviously knows

1248
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 12: Tom Timbo's games. Tom knows Jimmy Butler. Well, so that's

1249
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 12: going to be a fun game within the game, and

1250
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 12: I think that both teams have a similar identity. They're

1251
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 12: both grinded out sort of teams. I mean, get ready

1252
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 12: for nineties basketball when these two teams, the next to

1253
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 12: the Heat were better rivals in the late nineties for

1254
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 12: four consecutive playoffs.

1255
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 9: And so I think when you look at the identity,

1256
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 9: you have.

1257
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 12: Some star talent like a Jimmy Butler, a Bam out

1258
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 12: of Bio. On Miami side, you have Jalen Brunsons, who

1259
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 12: has lived up to his MAX contract with the Knicks.

1260
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 12: But then you have a lot of you know, really

1261
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 12: good bruising type players and Julius Randall.

1262
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 9: With the Knicks.

1263
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 12: With Miami, you have you know, some old school players

1264
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 12: with Kyle Lowry.

1265
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 9: You have a lot of great role.

1266
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 12: Players with Duncan Robinson Tyler. Here in Miami you have

1267
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 12: role players from New York with Josh Hart.

1268
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 9: And Emmanuel Quickly. And so I think that you're.

1269
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 12: Going to see a lot of fun, physical basketball. Maybe

1270
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 12: not a lot of high scoring, but I think that

1271
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 12: there's going to be a lot of competitiveness and it

1272
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 12: can really go either way. I would handicap it to

1273
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 12: the Knicks.

1274
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 9: I think they have a better roster.

1275
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 12: But you know what, the Heat are the real deal,

1276
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 12: and they know how.

1277
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 2: To compete, and they're very well coached. Deeric Sulsa doesn't

1278
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 2: get enough love in my vanion. We should be a

1279
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 2: really good coaching matchup as well. All right, let's move

1280
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 2: out west to Golden State. Warriors use by nineteen points

1281
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 2: tonight Sacramento, fifty three rebounds, they head home Sunday. This

1282
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 2: is a real developing story. What's the mindset of the Warriors.

1283
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 2: You've got your finger on the pulse of that team.

1284
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 2: Fifty three rebounds by the Kings tonight. I'm not so

1285
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,600
Speaker 2: sure the Warriors can get it done, Sundy. Although I

1286
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 2: am a firm believer in the zigzag theories, I might

1287
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 2: hold my nose. Yeah, Warrior Steele at your thoughts.

1288
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:26,680
Speaker 12: Well, look, I think the Warriors said exactly what the

1289
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 12: Lakers did tonight.

1290
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:28,759
Speaker 9: Were the Lakers.

1291
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 12: They didn't want to mess around, They don't want to

1292
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 12: have to go back to the road. They took care

1293
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 12: of business and treated Game six like a Game seven

1294
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 12: of them. So from top to bottom, you know, star players,

1295
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 12: role players, a lot of hustle. I think the Warriors

1296
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 12: kind of had this assumption today and we can afford.

1297
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 9: To lose a game.

1298
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 12: It was very disappointed because you don't want to play

1299
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,799
Speaker 12: with fire number one, number two. This is a home

1300
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 12: game where historically the Warriors have done really well, so

1301
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 12: you thought they would have, you know, taken care of

1302
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 12: business and blown them out. Now I am with you

1303
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 12: on the zigzags theory. I know that the Warriors, you know,

1304
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 12: as much as it's fool's goal to lead on championship experience,

1305
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 12: they still have a little bit of that identity where

1306
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 12: they're doubt by double digits against the Houston Rockets in

1307
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,759
Speaker 12: Game seven of the Western Conference Finals, and they still

1308
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 12: were able to turn it around. So I know it

1309
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 12: might sound weird because the Kings are a really good team.

1310
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 12: The Warriors road record has been atrocious. To look, the

1311
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 12: Warriors just won a road game in Sacramento game five.

1312
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 12: So I want to put it past the Warriors that

1313
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 12: they can do it in game seven, but they certainly

1314
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 12: can't look like how they did in Game six. I mean,

1315
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 12: I was just embarrassing, and they're at worked out, hustled,

1316
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 12: and if you're going to do that in the playoff game,

1317
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 12: you're going to get.

1318
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:43,839
Speaker 2: Spend talking with Mark Medina Medina Magic our NBA guru,

1319
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Let's talk about the Lakers. You were

1320
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 2: at the game to night, very impressive. It was turned

1321
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 2: out to be a hell of a block party. Every

1322
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 2: time you turn around there was a block shot by

1323
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 2: the Lakers. Good thing. There wasn't a drinking game. I

1324
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 2: would have passed out by halftime. Let me ask you

1325
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,640
Speaker 2: a question, because I know no one really wants to

1326
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 2: answer this. Who do you think the Lakers feel more

1327
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 2: comfortable getting on the floor with the Kings or the Warriors.

1328
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a good question. I think it's going to

1329
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 9: be a competitive series.

1330
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 12: I think the Lakers are going to have their hands full.

1331
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 9: But they certainly didn't answer this.

1332
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 12: But if I had a guess, I think that they

1333
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 12: would view the Sacramento Kings as the easier matchup because

1334
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 12: they're less experienced, They're not as good of a defensive

1335
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 12: team the Warriors, for all, they're inconsistency on defense, and

1336
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,600
Speaker 12: some of their young guys. There's a lot more familiarity

1337
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 12: that Steph Curry and Raymond Green and Khaye Thompson have

1338
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 12: not just with the Lakers the most notably Lebron James.

1339
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 12: All those finals matchups over the years when the Warriors

1340
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 12: battle with Cleveland. So I think if the Lakers had

1341
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 12: their choice, they would choose Sacramento. But look, I think

1342
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 12: that this first round of victory against the Memphis Grizzlies

1343
01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 12: really validating the Lakers' minds that they are the real deal.

1344
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 12: They're not a quote unquote seventh seed. They're only a

1345
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 12: seventh seed because they had a terrible record thirteenth in

1346
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 12: the West before the trade deadline. But once they got

1347
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 12: rid of Russell Westbrook and brought in a lot of

1348
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:15,560
Speaker 12: new pieces with Tangel Russell, Malik Beasley, Jared Vanderbilt, some

1349
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 12: separate deals with Mobaba and Rui Hachima, they've been a

1350
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 12: completely different team with having a lot more roster ballot

1351
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 12: and help for Lebron James Anthony Davis, and they've also

1352
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 12: been a lot healthier. That's not to say that they've

1353
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 12: been completely healthy. Lebron James was recovered from fatigue in

1354
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 12: Game five and he looks a lot sharper tonight. Anthony Davis,

1355
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 12: he you never know what's going to happen to him,

1356
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 12: but he's been aggressive throughout the playoffs. So I think

1357
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 12: that in their mind they feel like they're at the

1358
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 12: number one seed and everyone else is inferior. But they

1359
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 12: just have to stay healthy and stay motivated. So certainly,

1360
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 12: no cheering in the locker room that they beat the Grizzlies.

1361
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 12: I think the message was, you know, this is just

1362
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 12: step one of many steps that they need to take

1363
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:55,919
Speaker 12: to the next few months.

1364
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 2: So isa Thomas once told me that he believed point

1365
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,679
Speaker 2: guard was the most important position in all of sports

1366
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 2: because one man with the ball in his hands could

1367
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 2: dictate the movements of nine other people. Well, D'Angelo Russell

1368
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 2: thirty one points plus twenty seven plus minus, even though

1369
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 2: he only had four sis, he is feeling one hell

1370
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:16,720
Speaker 2: of a rule. Can he keep that up?

1371
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:18,719
Speaker 9: That remains to be seen.

1372
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 12: I mean, I think that D'Angel Russell has been a

1373
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 12: very great shit with the Lakers because he's a much

1374
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,440
Speaker 12: better shooter than Russell Westbrook. I think he's a better playmaker,

1375
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:31,719
Speaker 12: but he's also been inconsistent. I mean, his shot goes

1376
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 12: up and down. And I think the point that you

1377
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 12: made that Isaiah Thomas brought up about the importance of

1378
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 12: being a point guard, I think that's that It's interesting

1379
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 12: in recent days, D'Angel Russell has tried to place the

1380
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,679
Speaker 12: mantis and saying, Oh, I'm not a point guard, I'm

1381
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 12: just a basketball player.

1382
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 4: Wow.

1383
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 12: That might be true in today's NBA, where you guys

1384
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 12: are asked to play on and off the ball, play

1385
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 12: different positions. The reality is he's supposed to be running

1386
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 12: the offense. I know Lebron James doesn't from time to time,

1387
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 12: but it's really about DeAngelo and I think that unlike

1388
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 12: Isaiah Thomas, D'Angelo Russell is more of a scoring point

1389
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 12: guard at a passing second. But D'Angelo is a really

1390
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 12: good passer, has really great vision, and he plays at

1391
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 12: a really smooth, controlled, confident pace. And I think that

1392
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:23,719
Speaker 12: that part is consistent. What isn't consistent is his shooting.

1393
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 12: So the Lakers will certainly take his performance thirty one points,

1394
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 12: you know, twelve to seventeen from the field, five and

1395
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,600
Speaker 12: nine from three. When he's made threes, whether tonight or

1396
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 12: other games, they are real momentum shifts. But he also

1397
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:39,599
Speaker 12: has had games where you know, he's missing a lot

1398
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 12: of shots, and that you know, really puts the Lakers

1399
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,599
Speaker 12: in the bond mark.

1400
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,640
Speaker 2: Great stuff is always will look forward to getting you

1401
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 2: on back again soon, all.

1402
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:48,080

Speaker 2: both ends out at the Crypto tonight and bringing us

1406
01:13:55,240 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 2: his report times like no one else can coming up.

1407
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's only happened six times since nineteen ninety

1408
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 2: involving the NFL Draft. What am I talking about? I'll

Speaker 2: for yourself at Discover dot com slash match. All right,

1434
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 2: so the draft, at least the first three rounds are

1435
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 2: in the book. Still more to come on Saturday. But

1436
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 2: when Carolina about a month ago, traded up to secure

1437
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 2: Chicago's number one pick in this year's NFL Draft, it

1438
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 2: was only the seventh time since nineteen ninety and only

1439
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 2: the third time in this millennium that a team has

1440
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 2: gone out of their way to trade up for the

1441
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 2: number one draft pick, and in this case, it turned

1442
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:01,600
Speaker 2: out to be Bryce Young. I think Bryce Young is

1443
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 2: going to do very well in Ashton football. I want

1444
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 2: to hear a damn thing about his size. Bill wallsh

1445
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 2: always said, don't tell me what a quarterback can do.

1446
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 2: Tell me what he can't do. There's nothing Bryce Young

1447
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 2: can do. Small quarterbacks get hurt. Big quarterbacks get hurt.

1448
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 2: Andy Reid said, I don't care what size you are,

1449
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to learn how to throw the ball

1450
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:21,600
Speaker 2: between tall buildings. Bryce Young has had figured out. He

1451
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 2: plays the position with his eyes. His decision making he's incredible.

1452
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:27,759
Speaker 2: He gets rid of the ball, makes the right decision,

1453
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 2: puts it on target. So now that I've praised Bryce Young,

1454
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 2: how has it worked out the last six times that

1455
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 2: an NFL team has traded up, specifically for the number

1456
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 2: one spot to get a guy well back In twenty sixteen,

1457
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 2: the Rams traded up. Remember they took the number one

1458
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 2: pick from the Tennessee Titans. Who do they draft? They

1459
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 2: drafted Jared Goff number one overall. Jared Goff is a

1460
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 2: hell of a lot better than people give him credit for.

1461
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 2: He ran into his favor in Los Angeles, but he's

1462
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 2: done a fine job in Detroit. And yes, they got

1463
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 2: to a Super Bowl. If Matt Stafford would have run

1464
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 2: into Bill Belichick's defense and that New England team the

1465
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 2: same way that Jared Goff did, Matt Stafford had a

1466
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 2: bunch of offensive weapons around him that Jared Goff didn't have.

1467
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 2: I don't think Stafford would have beaten New England Golf didn't.

1468
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 2: He ended up getting traded back in two thousand and

1469
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 2: one the Falcons. They got the number one pick from

1470
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 2: the Chargers. He drafted Michael Vick. Vick had a fine career,

1471
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 2: big Vic fan. Back in nineteen ninety seven, the Rams.

1472
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 2: They moved up to get the number one pick from

1473
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 2: the New York Jets. They drafted Orlando Page, one of

1474
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 2: the greatest offensive tackles of all time. The Bengals. Back

1475
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 2: in ninety five, they get one of a guys Barrington

1476
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 2: knows well, Kejana Carter. The Bengals got the pick from

1477
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 2: the Panthers. Carter would have been an absolute star in

1478
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 2: the NFL. Absolute shame, I know, I said absolute twice

1479
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 2: Department of redundancy, Department injuries injuries derailed ka John Carter's career.

1480
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 2: He would have been terrific.

1481
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 9: Now.

1482
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 2: Back in nineteen ninety one, the Cowboys acquired the number

1483
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 2: one pick from the New England Patriots, long before Bill

1484
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 2: Belichick out there. Remember, they drafted defensive tackle Russell Maryland,

1485
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 2: who went on for you know, to have quite a

1486
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 2: career with the Dallas Cowboys. And then in nineteen ninety,

1487
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 2: the first time this ever happened, thet the Colts, the

1488
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts. They acquired the number one pick from the

1489
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 2: Falcons and they drafted Jeff George. It didn't work out

1490
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis. Actually, George was later traded four years later

1491
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 2: to the Atlanta Falcons. George with the cannon arm just

1492
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 2: never quite panned out in the NFL. So there you

1493
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 2: have it. It was going to either be Stroud Young,

1494
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,679
Speaker 2: Richardson or Will Levis. It turned out to be Bryce

1495
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 2: Young and we shall see. Well, no, you know, two

1496
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 2: or three years from now, if moving up to number

1497
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 2: one of the draft paid the dividends that the Carolina

1498
01:18:56,040 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 2: Panthers wanted it to pay. Coming up, Lamar Jackson, he

1499
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 2: was in the news this week, Lamar and the Ravens.

1500
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 2: It's finally come to an end. We'll tell you what happened.

1501
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 2: There's good news. Keep it locked. Listening to the Bernie

Speaker 2: Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio, Well, that's right, you

1509
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 2: buying should be well. Good news out of Baltimore this week,

1510
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 2: and I think at in the end of the day,

1511
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 2: cooler heads prevailed. You realize that the Ravens would just

1512
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 2: simply not be the same without Lamar Jackson. And obviously

1513
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:57,759
Speaker 2: you have a situation whereby I think Jackson in terms

1514
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 2: of John Harbaugh, in terms of the organization, they were

1515
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 2: best for him as well. And even though this was

1516
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 2: a bit of a protracted fight, they agree in a

1517
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 2: five year, two hundred and sixty million dollar contract and

1518
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 2: all along I said, I believe that Jackson's his his

1519
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 2: fight was misdirected, okay, because he was focused solely on

1520
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 2: the guaranteed money. But history's going to show us that

1521
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 2: elite quarterbacks who get top tiered deals between the age

1522
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 2: of twenty five and twenty seven, which is what Lamar

1523
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 2: Jackson is, they collect a full amount of the contract

1524
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 2: about ninety five percent of the time. You give today's

1525
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 2: medical advancements There's almost never a career ending injury for

1526
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 2: a quarterback, and quarterbacks almost never get cut out of

1527
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 2: a guy of his ilk. And I think it was

1528
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:42,680
Speaker 2: a Raven's intention all along to provide Lamar with, you know,

1529
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 2: a traditional NFL top tier deal that works for both sides.

1530
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 2: It wasn't going to be the Watson Cleveland deal. That

1531
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 2: was an outlier, that was desperation deal, and Lamar had

1532
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 2: an opportunity to test the market. Started March seventh, he

1533
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 2: was given the you know, the non exclusive tag. Thirty

1534
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 2: two point one million tested the market. There was no

1535
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 2: market there for multiple reasons. We've talked about missing ten

1536
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 2: of twenty e two games, all that would beat that

1537
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 2: as it may, I think this is the best environment

1538
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 2: for both sides. All's well, that ends well. So what happened, Well,

1539
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 2: it was reported Thursday the ravens Lamar five years, two

1540
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty million, and his new deal includes one

1541
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty five million in total guarantees. That's up

1542
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 2: a solid what fifty million dollars from where it was

1543
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 2: a couple months ago. That's nice. And the fifty two

1544
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 2: million dollars per year packed this is an annual average

1545
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 2: salary annually. It makes Lamar Jackson the newest highest paid player,

1546
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 2: which we all know in this day and age, is

1547
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 2: about a fifteen minute tenure in the National Football League.

1548
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:56,679
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, you know, Josh Allen, or maybe not Josh Allen,

1549
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 2: but Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert. You know they're gonna

1550
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 2: end up getting paid. But I got got a kick

1551
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 2: out of Lamar Jackson's cote. He says, quote, you know,

1552
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:05,640
Speaker 2: for the last few months, there's been a lot of

1553
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 2: he said, she said, a lot of nail biding, a

1554
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,440
Speaker 2: lot of head scratching. But for the next five years

1555
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 2: going to be a lot of flock. That's the Ravens deal.

1556
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 2: God on, let's go, baby, Let's go. Man. If you're

1557
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 2: a Ravens fan, you must really be excited because now

1558
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 2: I got obj He drafts eight flowers out of Boston College,

1559
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 2: plenty of weapons, and let's just hope Lamar Jackson can

1560
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 2: can stay healthy. Because the truth of the matter is,

1561
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:33,879
Speaker 2: and it may be it certainly may have been long overdue.

1562
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 2: I know this. A contract of this nature has been

1563
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:41,719
Speaker 2: in the making for more than two years. And Ian

1564
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 2: Rappaport reported that when Jalen Hurts got his five year,

1565
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 2: two to fifty five million deal went down ten days ago,

1566
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,719
Speaker 2: Baltimore decided to step up and offer Jackson a contract

1567
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 2: to trump that one. So look, Jackson, it feels like

1568
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 2: he's been around a long time. He has been around

1569
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 2: since twenty eighteen first round pick. He's been a star.

1570
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:02,280
Speaker 2: He took over midway through his rookie season and in

1571
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 2: his first full season in twenty nineteen, Jackson did win

1572
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 2: the NFL MVP through thirty six touchdown passes through for

1573
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:13,559
Speaker 2: over three thousand yards, ran for another twelve hundred, ran

1574
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 2: for seven touchdowns. I think it's fair to say that

1575
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson is the most dynamic dual threat in the NFL.

1576
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 2: And when I say dual threat, I mean dual threat

1577
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 2: from an NFL standpoint. You know, they talk about Justin

1578
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 2: Field's good dude, but he's still a college quarterback. In

1579
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 2: my view, He's a dual threat, but his default mechanism

1580
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 2: is to run. He's got to learn to operate from

1581
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:39,639
Speaker 2: the pocket. Lamar Jackson. He can operate from the pocket.

1582
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:43,479
Speaker 2: But Jackson is also a nightmare for defenses because he

1583
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 2: can hit a home run with his legs. He can

1584
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 2: operate from the pocket. He did it in Louisville. But

1585
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 2: he can hit a home run with his legs as well.

1586
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 2: And when you've got a situation whereby you're an offensive

1587
01:23:56,120 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 2: coordinator and you've got yourself a quarterback who can take

1588
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 2: the top off a defense but can also keep a

1589
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 2: play alive with his feet. Right zone defense, he'll run latterly,

1590
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,719
Speaker 2: allows receivers to set it just their routs. Complete passes.

1591
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 2: Man defense, he'll run vertically. The DB's backs they're to you,

1592
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 2: the safeties thirty yards away, you're going to gobble up yardage.

1593
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson does both. By the way, I would say

1594
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 2: that Shane Steiken and the offense. They the offensive coordinator

1595
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 2: at Philadelphia, what they did with Jalen Hurts last year,

1596
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 2: he's sort of an homage to what he saw Lamar

1597
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 2: Jackson do in Baltimore. Now, Shane Steiking goes to the

1598
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts, and what do they do. They draft Anthony Richardson,

1599
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 2: And some people wondered why, because well, Richardson's only started

1600
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 2: thirteen games, he only completed fifty three percent of his passes.

1601
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:57,679
Speaker 2: He's a project. And I don't say that derogatorily. Every

1602
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 2: damn quarterback gets to the National Football League is a

1603
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 2: project in some form of fashion. Even Patrick Mahomes sat

1604
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 2: for a year, Brady sat for a year. Right, you

1605
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 2: get to the league, there's a hell of an adjustment.

1606
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 2: But now, Shane Stykin, he says to his bosses in Indianapolis,

1607
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 2: let me get Anthony Richardson, because if he can run

1608
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 2: the way Lamar Jackson can run, we can create a

1609
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 2: nightmare for defenses. I can certainly construct an offense. I

1610
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 2: can certainly put together a dual threat offense that's so

1611
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 2: much easier for me, so much easier for our team

1612
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,879
Speaker 2: with respect to the tremendous pressure it's going to impose

1613
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 2: on NFL defenses. So having observed what Lamar Jackson did

1614
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 2: in Baltimore, I truly believe affected and influenced Shane Stikeen

1615
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 2: as an offensive coordinator in Philadelphia, what they did with

1616
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. He got to the Super Bowl. And of

1617
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:54,800
Speaker 2: course now he goes on to Indianapolis and brings in

1618
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson, who may be that type of guy. Someday

1619
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 2: we'll see a long way to go. Cose injuries had

1620
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 2: been an issue for Lamar Jackson finished the past two

1621
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 2: seasons on the sidelines. When you consider that in the

1622
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 2: last two Decembers and Januaries cumulatively, and at potential twelve

1623
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 2: games that Lamar could have started, he only started one.

1624
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 2: That has to be corrected. But at the same time,

1625
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 2: Jackson the Ravens, who'd gone back and forth for the

1626
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,679
Speaker 2: last couple of years on a potential long term deal.

1627
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,879
Speaker 2: What was holding it up is Lamar wanted more guaranteed

1628
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 2: money than Baltimore was prepared to offer. There was a stalemate,

1629
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 2: But I would say both sides knew that they needed

1630
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:36,760
Speaker 2: to come to a meeting in the middle get to

1631
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,720
Speaker 2: the area's putable differences. And even though they had till

1632
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,639
Speaker 2: July seventeenth to come to a long term agreement, otherwise

1633
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 2: Lamar would be forced to play under the thirty two

1634
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 2: million dollars tender in twenty twenty three, the club. Both

1635
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 2: sides said, let's not wait till this summer to find

1636
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:55,759
Speaker 2: common ground, all right, Eric Tacosta. They found that common

1637
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 2: ground Thursday and negotiations they brought the news out. One

1638
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 2: of those things sometimes need time things develop, People think

1639
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 2: and give the Ravens credit. They said that their love

1640
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 2: and appreciation for Lamar never really wavered. And give Lamar

1641
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 2: credit as well. He was just conducting business. He was

1642
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,719
Speaker 2: just finding a way to find out what's best for him.

1643
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 2: He ended up getting another fifty million dollars guaranteed, and

1644
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,840
Speaker 2: my humble opinion, there's a ninety five percent chance, if

1645
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,599
Speaker 2: not almost one hundred percent chance, that Lamar will collect

1646
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 2: the whole two hundred and sixty million over the next

1647
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:33,679
Speaker 2: five years, because, as I said, history shows top tier

1648
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:39,559
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that are elite, which is what Lamar is that

1649
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,760
Speaker 2: signed these deals between the age of twenty five and

1650
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:44,680
Speaker 2: twenty seven, they end up collecting the money. He's going

1651
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 2: to be healthy. There's plenty of medical advancements to keep

1652
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 2: him healthy, and I think he's going to be very motivated.

1653
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:51,599
Speaker 2: This is going to be a lot of fun to watch.

1654
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 2: The Ravens are better with Lamar and Baltimore. The NFL

1655
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 2: is better with Lamar and Baltimore. Now he's got a

1656
01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 2: couple new toys, Odell Beckham, Junior, Say Flowers, and oh,

1657
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:03,160
Speaker 2: by the way, Todd Makin takes over as offensive coordinator.

1658
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 2: I will tell you with the defense Baltimore had last

1659
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:08,799
Speaker 2: year and the scare they gave Cincinnati with Tyler Huntley.

1660
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:11,560
Speaker 2: You gotta believe Baltimore and Cincinnati your top of the

1661
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:14,559
Speaker 2: heap in the AFC, notwithstanding Buffalo and some of the

1662
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 2: other teams, the Jets, but right now it feels like

1663
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:19,879
Speaker 2: Baltimore and Cincinnati, and yes they're in the same division,

1664
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 2: they're at the top of the heaps. Speaking of heaps,

1665
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 2: what do you do if your team likes to storm

1666
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:33,800
Speaker 2: the field after the game. You will not believe what

1667
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 2: the SEC commissioner is considering. If your team storms the field,

1668
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 2: which is considered a no these days, You're not gonna

1669
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:46,559
Speaker 2: believe what they're considering. We'll bring in the crew on

1670
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:49,320
Speaker 2: this one as well. We'll chop it up. I will

1671
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 2: share with you what the SEC is pondering night right now.

1672
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 2: Not what do you ponder passing Paul Allen against the Lions?

1673
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 2: Brat Farvre. This is not Detroit. Oh that was a

1674
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 2: funny one. I'm sorry I had to digress. All right,

1675
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 2: back to storming the field. We will talk about that

1676
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:08,719
Speaker 2: coming up and the potential penalties that might befall those

1677
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 2: hometown fans. I'm Bernie FRADDLEI Comedy Live from Las Vegas.

1678
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio tyreck dot com studios. Don't go away.

1679
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,920
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1680
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 2: All right, back on the Bernie Frattle Show, comedy live

1681
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:26,599
Speaker 2: for the Fox Sports Radio studios here in Las Vegas.

1682
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 2: Tyraq dot com studios. Coming up the bottom of the

1683
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 2: r Chris Proffet's World of Soccer after Kevin's update. In

1684
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:36,240
Speaker 2: the meantime, you've seen it a thousand times. You saw

1685
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,560
Speaker 2: it when Reggie Jackson hit the three home runs in

1686
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 2: the nineteen seventy seven series. There was a day fans

1687
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 2: used to love to storm the field, storm the court. Well,

1688
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:47,639
Speaker 2: it's been happening a lot at SEC games, which has

1689
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 2: caused SEC Commissioner Greg Sank to form a task force,

1690
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 2: and they've had meetings and there's another meeting coming up

1691
01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 2: in May. They don't like it anymore. They're concerned about

1692
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:03,160
Speaker 2: this safety the visiting team. They're concerning about the dangers

1693
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:05,639
Speaker 2: for the fans, the dangers of people jumping over the walls,

1694
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 2: the dangers for the teams, for the officials. They when

1695
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 2: I say they, I'm talking about the powers to be

1696
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 2: in the SEC. They're starting to list options. Okay, there,

1697
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 2: maybe they'll come up on the way for fans to

1698
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 2: positively engage in a postgame celebration and even engage with

1699
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:28,439
Speaker 2: the athletes. But that don't involve rushing the field and

1700
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:33,559
Speaker 2: tearing down goalposts. They've instituted fines, but the truth of

1701
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 2: the matter is it hasn't really worked all right, So

1702
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 2: some of the things they're considering are doubling or tripling

1703
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:43,080
Speaker 2: or quadrupling the fines. Will that work? I have no idea.

1704
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:45,479
Speaker 2: But what do you hear some of this stuff? It's

1705
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 2: down retriconian. How about forfeiting the next home game against

1706
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 2: that team that comes from report that's Ports Illustrated chronicles

1707
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,599
Speaker 2: about a week ago. How about banning your team from

1708
01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:01,960
Speaker 2: a bowl game? Or how this is even worse. Suppose

1709
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:04,559
Speaker 2: you just win forty nine to seven, the teams the

1710
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:08,200
Speaker 2: fans storms the field, and you forfeit the game in

1711
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:11,599
Speaker 2: which the fans storm that day. Can you imagine that

1712
01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:14,200
Speaker 2: storming the field that day? You win and lose because

1713
01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:18,640
Speaker 2: you forfeit. The idea is to have higher standards for

1714
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:22,400
Speaker 2: the visiting team, for the officials, for the fans, half

1715
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 2: higher standards for when people and the teams try to

1716
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:29,799
Speaker 2: exit the field. I have no idea. What the solution

1717
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 2: is none, I don't know. Maybe the crew is Kevin.

1718
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? How do you feel about teams

1719
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:41,160
Speaker 2: check that fans who storm the court storm the field anyway.

1720
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:44,640
Speaker 2: It just from a general opinion standpoint.

1721
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:46,960
Speaker 5: In the general since Bernie, I have not been the

1722
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 5: biggest fan of it, and I realize it's few and

1723
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 5: far between, but there have been examples of journalists who

1724
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 5: have been injured. Look, I think one person or two

1725
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 5: maybe even died over the last thirty years from being

1726
01:31:57,240 --> 01:31:59,600
Speaker 5: trampled during these things happening. So it's not often, but

1727
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 5: I mean it's one of those cases where one is

1728
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:04,400
Speaker 5: too many. I understand that students want to get on

1729
01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 5: the field and they want to celebrate, but at a

1730
01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 5: certain point you have to take safety into account. So

1731
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:11,280
Speaker 5: when a general since Bernie, I've been mostly against it

1732
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 5: throughout the years, how do.

1733
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 2: You feel about some of these potential penalties you could

1734
01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:18,679
Speaker 2: You could could a rise to this level where a

1735
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:21,479
Speaker 2: team is banned from a ball game or forfeit a game.

1736
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 1: That seem pretty strong.

1737
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 5: But also to your point, if teams are not going

1738
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 5: to adhere to the rules that are put in place,

1739
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:29,800
Speaker 5: the only way to at least attempt to get them

1740
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:33,600
Speaker 5: to do it is to you know, have more harsh penalties.

1741
01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:37,479
Speaker 5: So I would hope they wouldn't have to stooped to that,

1742
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:39,960
Speaker 5: you know, where you're talking about making good teams bowl

1743
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 5: and eligible or forfeiting games. That seems a little strong,

1744
01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 5: But if the commissioner and the conference feel that strongly

1745
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:48,920
Speaker 5: about it, maybe it is a necessary evil that they

1746
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 5: have to enact, because it's happened a couple of times

1747
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 5: over the last couple of years where schools have just

1748
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 5: been willing to accept the fine to allow students to

1749
01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:56,040
Speaker 5: continue to do it.

1750
01:32:56,479 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 2: Kevin, two months after I moved to Michigan, this is

1751
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:02,439
Speaker 2: an octom over. In ninety three, Michigan went to Camp

1752
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:04,639
Speaker 2: Randall Stadium in Wisconsin. We're coming up on the thirty

1753
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:09,640
Speaker 2: year anniversary of when the Wisconsin student section attempted to

1754
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 2: storm the field and what resulted was a bottleneck and

1755
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:18,639
Speaker 2: a stampede that dozens of people were injured very badly.

1756
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:22,320
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody was killed. And you know, if

1757
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:24,000
Speaker 2: you've ever been to a game at Camp Randall, the

1758
01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:28,920
Speaker 2: Wisconsin student section is very rowdy, and you know, rushing

1759
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:31,800
Speaker 2: the field is a common thing there. But when they

1760
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,040
Speaker 2: tried to rush the field, there was a chambling fence

1761
01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 2: that was separating the playing surface from the bleachers, and

1762
01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 2: the stands collapsed. People were unconscious, people weren't breathing. It

1763
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:46,400
Speaker 2: was terrible, and the visual is probably there's probably some

1764
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:49,439
Speaker 2: video you could find somewhere. This is a stadium that

1765
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,360
Speaker 2: was built in nineteen seventeen and they added a student

1766
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:55,559
Speaker 2: section later, but it's an older stadium near the end zone.

1767
01:33:56,360 --> 01:34:00,240
Speaker 2: And that, to your point, is a post that's your

1768
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,479
Speaker 2: child example of what could happen. Do you think it's

1769
01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:07,200
Speaker 2: going to take a serious injury before the institute, you know,

1770
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 2: real legislation here, What do you think ultimately happens. Because

1771
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 2: they're meeting on this in May.

1772
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:13,920
Speaker 1: I will certainly hope not.

1773
01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:16,640
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, Bernie, just through the history of time, you know,

1774
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:19,120
Speaker 5: usually you have to wait for the worst to happen

1775
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:21,800
Speaker 5: for action to be taken. So I would love if

1776
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:24,040
Speaker 5: we were just to say, let's take preventative measures to

1777
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:27,080
Speaker 5: prevent any of this, you know, these situations from happening.

1778
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:30,400
Speaker 5: But unfortunately, it seems like it might take something of

1779
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:32,400
Speaker 5: that measure to happen for people to actually, you know,

1780
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:34,719
Speaker 5: seriously buck up and say, wow, we need to stop

1781
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:37,679
Speaker 5: this from happening. So I hope cool heads will prevail

1782
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:40,320
Speaker 5: and that look, look, the schools would just adhere to

1783
01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:42,000
Speaker 5: the rules that are already in place, so the SEC

1784
01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 5: wouldn't even have to do this sort of thing. But

1785
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:46,960
Speaker 5: the way this situation seems to be playing out at

1786
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:51,200
Speaker 5: the moment, unfortunately, it might take something as as terrible

1787
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:53,799
Speaker 5: as what you just described for them to get serious

1788
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 5: about making sure that students don't do this in the future.

1789
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,960
Speaker 2: Well, they had a three day spring meeting of the SEC,

1790
01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 2: he did in Dallas after some spring games were done,

1791
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:07,160
Speaker 2: and they this panel is considering penalties and they're not

1792
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 2: they haven't ruled out forfeiting a future home game. And

1793
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 2: so you've got the athletic directors from Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky.

1794
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:19,719
Speaker 2: They are they've been commissioned to formulate new field storming

1795
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,960
Speaker 2: proposals and then the proposals will be voted on, are

1796
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 2: considered by the ads and school presidents and this is

1797
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:30,120
Speaker 2: gonna come to fruition here in May, and then they

1798
01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:33,759
Speaker 2: will vote on those penalties the conference before the start

1799
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 2: of the next season. Because it's happening too much and

1800
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 2: they're they're playing with fire. Ethan, what are your thoughts

1801
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:43,639
Speaker 2: on on what we're talking about here and charging the field?

1802
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1803
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 7: For me, you know, I don't agree with the forfeit thing.

1804
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:51,280
Speaker 7: I think the fourfoit thing is ridiculous. The reason why

1805
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:54,200
Speaker 7: is is because students get really drunk at these games

1806
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:57,960
Speaker 7: and they get really excited and you can't stop them

1807
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:01,160
Speaker 7: if there's like thousands of them running under the field.

1808
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:04,799
Speaker 7: So it's just I don't like that, but I agree

1809
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:06,640
Speaker 7: with the fact that they need to come up with

1810
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:10,760
Speaker 7: something to stop it because I don't know the statistics,

1811
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:15,000
Speaker 7: but when I watch it on television, it seems like

1812
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:18,840
Speaker 7: it's just a bunch of bulls running over a bunch

1813
01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 7: of things, and it doesn't seem like it's very safe.

1814
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1815
01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:24,920
Speaker 7: I know you guys are talking about people getting injured,

1816
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:28,520
Speaker 7: but I'm not sure how often that happens.

1817
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 2: That's fair.

1818
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 6: You know.

1819
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 2: One of the things that came up and in the

1820
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:37,160
Speaker 2: ACC last year where nondescript games on a Tuesday night

1821
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:39,200
Speaker 2: where a team with an under five hundred record just

1822
01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:41,880
Speaker 2: beats a arrival they don't like, and that's I mean,

1823
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:43,640
Speaker 2: is it ever really warranted I mean, like, if you

1824
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:46,519
Speaker 2: win a championship, have you ever been to an event, Kevin,

1825
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:47,840
Speaker 2: will you storm the field?

1826
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:49,600
Speaker 1: I have a storm in the field. No, I have not.

1827
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 2: No, yeah, me either. I never really had any desire

1828
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:55,040
Speaker 2: to do something like do something like that. How about you, Ethan?

1829
01:36:55,479 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, Actually, when Temple University basketball beat s you in

1830
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 7: twenty sixteen, SMU is ranked I think eight in Temple stunk.

1831
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:07,920
Speaker 1: That was the one time.

1832
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:11,840
Speaker 2: Is that when Larry Brown was coaching at SMU, do

1833
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:12,280
Speaker 2: you remember?

1834
01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:12,679
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1835
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:13,080
Speaker 7: He was.

1836
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,240
Speaker 1: Actually, it's really funny. Yeah, it's funny.

1837
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:19,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a damn good SMU team. Look, I

1838
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 2: don't really know what the solution is, but this is real,

1839
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 2: all right.

1840
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:28,360
Speaker 11: When you hire a focus group to develop proposals to

1841
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 11: curtail people storming the field, and it involves potentially forfeiting games,

1842
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:34,799
Speaker 11: I can't.

1843
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,080
Speaker 2: Imagine it would ever get to that point. I could

1844
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:39,840
Speaker 2: see you getting banned from a bowl game. I mean,

1845
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to put some teeth into this thing, right,

1846
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:45,320
Speaker 2: Otherwise it's just gonna continue because the fines haven't worked.

1847
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:48,479
Speaker 2: But the bowl game is dicey two because of what

1848
01:37:48,520 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 2: if that bowl game happens to be a playoff game. Remember,

1849
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:53,720
Speaker 2: this will be the final year where they have the

1850
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:58,280
Speaker 2: four team Made for TV Invitational tournament, and after this

1851
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:01,000
Speaker 2: year they're gonna go to twelve teams, which I think

1852
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 2: will be a very welcome addition. But can you imagine

1853
01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:06,400
Speaker 2: if you're all set to go to a ball game

1854
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:08,719
Speaker 2: that involves a playoff and you're forfeited. So I really

1855
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:12,400
Speaker 2: can't see it getting to that. But this three man

1856
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 2: committee who's meeting here in May, that is still on

1857
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:19,840
Speaker 2: the table because they've agreed just passing a rule is

1858
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:22,400
Speaker 2: not going to stop it. Right, Like you said, you

1859
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 2: can't stop the fans from just you know, physically, you

1860
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 2: can't stop them because I don't think security the old

1861
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:30,120
Speaker 2: joke about you'll get bare. If the fans don't want

1862
01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:31,880
Speaker 2: to come out to the ballpark, you can't stop them.

1863
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 2: Why do you stop a massive throng of people like that.

1864
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 2: You can't have enough security. I mean maybe you could

1865
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:41,160
Speaker 2: build a chink a fence with barbed ware, like Mexico

1866
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:44,120
Speaker 2: City Football Stadium has to put a moat there. Don't

1867
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,120
Speaker 2: think that's in the offing, but there's gonna be some penalties.

1868
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:50,320
Speaker 2: They've agreed that passing a rule just isn't going to

1869
01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 2: stop it. People have to stop it. The fine system

1870
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:55,719
Speaker 2: hasn't changed behavior to the degree they wish it would.

1871
01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 2: It has a little bit, but it hasn't stopped it. Right,

1872
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 2: Maybe they What I think is a more reasonable solution

1873
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:09,040
Speaker 2: is you create. You create the scenario where when the

1874
01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:12,960
Speaker 2: game is over, the team congregates towards the stands and

1875
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,719
Speaker 2: they have the interaction, which is really what they want anyway,

1876
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 2: they want the interaction with the team. But if they

1877
01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:23,560
Speaker 2: don't fix this, they're considering doubling, tripling, quadrupling fines forfeiting

1878
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:26,960
Speaker 2: home games, banning a team from bowl games forfeiting the

1879
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:28,600
Speaker 2: game in which you just played with the field was

1880
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:30,840
Speaker 2: stormed again. What are they trying to do. It's all

1881
01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 2: back to safety visiting teams, safety for officials, safety for fans,

1882
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:39,639
Speaker 2: safety for actually both teams. It's dangerous, it's crazy. People

1883
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 2: mean well, but like you know, Ethan brings up a

1884
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:43,920
Speaker 2: great point. A lot of these kids have been hooked

1885
01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:46,639
Speaker 2: up to a blender since eight that morning. Their judgment

1886
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 2: is particularly great. And when you that add to that

1887
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:53,000
Speaker 2: the fact that in any crowd psychology, they'll tell you

1888
01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:55,800
Speaker 2: that in a group setting like that you feel less

1889
01:39:55,960 --> 01:40:00,559
Speaker 2: responsible for your actions coming out Chris Profet's World with Soccer,

1890
01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:04,040
Speaker 2: including by the way, a team that might refund money

1891
01:40:04,040 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 2: because their team played so poorly. First, let's go back

1892
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 2: to our first round draft choice, Kevin Figures with the ladies.

1893
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 5: All right, Barney, Lakers headed to the second round of

1894
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 5: the playoffs, while the Kings and Warriors were headed to

1895
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:16,519

Speaker 5: one points, Ford Angelo Russell to lead all scores. They

1898
01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 5: are Golden State did have a chance to close out

1899
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 5: Sacramento as well, but the Kings led from the second

1900
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:30,160
Speaker 5: quarter on and had a convincing one eighteen to ninety

1901
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:33,879
Speaker 5: nine victory. Game seven will be in Sacramento on Sunday,

1902
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:36,759
Speaker 5: and the NHL. Colorado defeated Seattle to force game seven

1903
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:40,000
Speaker 5: in their first round series. Likewise, for Florida, who outlasted

1904
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 5: Boston seven to five, Carolina defeated the Islanders while Dallas

1905
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:45,920
Speaker 5: defeat at Minnesota. They both advanced to the second round.

1906
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:48,760
Speaker 5: Major League Baseball Dodgers beating the Cardinals seven to three,

1907
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 5: Phillies a three to one victory over Houston. Second and

1908
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 5: third rounds of the NFL Draft saw Kentucky quarterback Will

1909
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,840
Speaker 5: Levis go to the Titans. University of Tennessee quarterback Hendon

1910
01:40:56,840 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 5: Hooker drafted by the Lions. Detown also selects at Alabama

1911
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:03,920
Speaker 5: defensive back Brian Branch. Cornerback Joey Porter Junior went to

1912
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 5: the Steelers, while the Raiders selected Notre Dame tighty end

1913
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 5: Michael Mayer back to Bernie Freddo.

1914
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:14,160
Speaker 2: All Right, So Napoli preparing to celebrate the first Italian

1915
01:41:14,240 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 2: league title in thirty three years, but they've been told

1916
01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 2: to steer clear of volcanoes. It's a time Chris prefets

1917
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:23,480
Speaker 2: World of Soccer.

1918
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:38,200
Speaker 14: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum him.

1919
01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:43,719
Speaker 14: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1920
01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:50,439
Speaker 2: Well, Chris, I don't know how you top that open,

1921
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:51,719
Speaker 2: but I know you'll find a way.

1922
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:53,520
Speaker 4: To do it.

1923
01:41:53,760 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 10: As you say, Napoli is on the verge of their

1924
01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:59,640
Speaker 10: We don't usually start with Italian soccer, but I have

1925
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:02,280
Speaker 10: been a big proponent of of Syria. I think they

1926
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:05,280
Speaker 10: are the second best club in Europe right now, especially

1927
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:09,519
Speaker 10: after their European performances this international season, with both the

1928
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:13,440
Speaker 10: Lan and Inter sizing up in the Champions League semi finals.

1929
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 10: But no Napoli is on the verge of their first

1930
01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:20,960
Speaker 10: title in twenty three years, not since nineteen eighty, I

1931
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:24,559
Speaker 10: mean nineteen ninety excuse me with Diego Maradonna for them,

1932
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:27,760
Speaker 10: have they been this close to the title and they

1933
01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:30,920
Speaker 10: can sew it up here on Sunday, either with the

1934
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:34,400
Speaker 10: win over Salernatana or I believe Lazio drop drawing or

1935
01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:38,559
Speaker 10: losing their match with inter Milan, though that's where we're at.

1936
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 10: Fans have been told they were planning, apparently to climb

1937
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:45,360
Speaker 10: Mountain Vesuvius, to try to set off smokes in the

1938
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:49,240
Speaker 10: Italian tri color. Smoke bombs the Italian tri Color. They've

1939
01:42:49,280 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 10: been told to not do that for their own safety. Naturally.

1940
01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:56,920
Speaker 10: I saw the US Embassy, the US Consulate General for

1941
01:42:57,040 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 10: Naples has issued a city wide alert kind of a

1942
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:07,040
Speaker 10: travel advisory on large celebrations, heavy traffic, roads closure, significant

1943
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:11,200
Speaker 10: use of fireworks are my favorite alcohol consumption throughout the city. Yes,

1944
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:13,000
Speaker 10: that will be happening very so.

1945
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:17,040
Speaker 2: Mont Vesuvius. For you historians are upted a couple thousand

1946
01:43:17,080 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 2: years ago, destroyed the Roman city of Pompeii. They even

1947
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 2: made a movie about it. Word has it this volcano

1948
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 2: is actually it's characterized as active. I don't know what

1949
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:28,320
Speaker 2: these people are thinking. We well, I I think Chris,

1950
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:33,000
Speaker 2: I know Napolie fans are crazy. Talk about fanatics. It's

1951
01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 2: my understanding. Their game this weekend was backed up a

1952
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:38,840
Speaker 2: day for safety reasons. What was you? You know what

1953
01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 2: happened there?

1954
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:43,160
Speaker 10: I don't, but I'm just assuming we've seen this all

1955
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:46,639
Speaker 10: the time, especially on big soccer events. It happened in Europe.

1956
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:49,040
Speaker 10: I mean in England a couple of times. Sometimes when

1957
01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:51,960
Speaker 10: they just don't have the police ability to handle a

1958
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 10: soccer match, they will just delay it. So I'm assuming

1959
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:56,840
Speaker 10: it's probably had something with that extra time for the

1960
01:43:56,880 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 10: city to prepare for what is going to happen here

1961
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 10: on which I think is absolutely going to happen on Sunday.

1962
01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 2: There's news surrounding Juventus as well to share with the

1963
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:08,080
Speaker 2: folks that's happening there.

1964
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:11,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, so we're keeping in Italy here. Juventus, to the

1965
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:17,280
Speaker 10: well lauded club was they were deducted fifteen points earlier

1966
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:21,719
Speaker 10: this year for just problems with the with the transfer,

1967
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 10: with the transfer window, just shady dealings. They were deducted

1968
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:27,880
Speaker 10: fifteen points, but in an argument they were able to

1969
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:31,400
Speaker 10: actually the cases being kicked down the road before the

1970
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:35,559
Speaker 10: before arbitrators in the court. But Juventus was reinstated their

1971
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:38,160
Speaker 10: fifteen points, so they went from the middle of the

1972
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 10: table in Syria right back up there right now in third,

1973
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 10: two points behind Lazio in Syria. And it's really put

1974
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:49,800
Speaker 10: a strain on this late race as this run and

1975
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 10: happens in Syria is now Internazinel Milan has now been

1976
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:57,280
Speaker 10: pushed off the champion the top four, and Roma have

1977
01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:01,479
Speaker 10: been pushed off the top four for Champions League. Roma

1978
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:04,719
Speaker 10: and AC Milan here tied at the point at fifty

1979
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:07,479
Speaker 10: six for four and five are actually meeting here on

1980
01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 10: Saturday in Rome for what bounds to me a very

1981
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:15,360
Speaker 10: contentious match. But even this is really I wasn't sure

1982
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:17,679
Speaker 10: why they rewarded their point. It was a very tough

1983
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:20,479
Speaker 10: penalty for them to take. It almost completely took them

1984
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:22,760
Speaker 10: out of any kind of running whatsoever for Europe. But

1985
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 10: here there are, here they are, They're back in the

1986
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:28,320
Speaker 10: midst of things and it's really put a it's really

1987
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 10: added some extra drama here to the end of the

1988
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:33,760
Speaker 10: Serie off season, especially if it means that Roma, who

1989
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 10: has been fantastic in the Europa League, they might not

1990
01:45:37,280 --> 01:45:40,479
Speaker 10: make Champions League this next coming season, so so might

1991
01:45:40,560 --> 01:45:43,720
Speaker 10: not enter. Like this is a this is a real strain.

1992
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:47,120
Speaker 2: Now, So, Chris, this might be one of my favorite

1993
01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:50,679
Speaker 2: stories in the last eighteen months doing the world of soccer.

1994
01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:58,880
Speaker 2: Tottenham gets their butt handed to them six to one

1995
01:45:58,920 --> 01:46:02,439
Speaker 2: about a week ago, and it's my understanding the players

1996
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:06,320
Speaker 2: are reaching into their pockets to reimburse Newcastle fans for tickets.

1997
01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, so it's to be clear, it's not like exactly

1998
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:12,320
Speaker 10: they're being out of a lot of money here. Maybe

1999
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:16,760
Speaker 10: at most of the three thousand tickets sold, I mean

2000
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:20,599
Speaker 10: maybe at most for thirty pounds for adults, twenty five

2001
01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:24,920
Speaker 10: pounds for seniors, nineteen for under eighteen. But after that

2002
01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:28,759
Speaker 10: six to one loss to Newcastle, it's a nice gesture.

2003
01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:31,240
Speaker 10: It is a gesture that kind of comes in the

2004
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 10: midst of a really foul season for Tottenham Hotspur. For one,

2005
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 10: they really have kind of really wanted to go to

2006
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 10: go forward with, you know, they dismissed their manager Antonio

2007
01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:46,839
Speaker 10: Conti with a few matches last They're clashing with Aston

2008
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:50,760
Speaker 10: Villa and Manchester United to that fourth Champions League spot.

2009
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:53,240
Speaker 10: They actually did be the point back they drew even

2010
01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:56,400
Speaker 10: with a man You here this past a couple of

2011
01:46:56,479 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 10: days ago to too, but it's just it's kind it's

2012
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:03,320
Speaker 10: kind of a nice it's a nice gesture to the

2013
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:08,160
Speaker 10: fans that undergirding has been a really bad season for Hotspur.

2014
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:11,160
Speaker 10: You know, Harry Kane famous, he came back to Klaub

2015
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 10: He wasn't going to be a transfer and they've really

2016
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 10: just they've had to dismissed their manager. They've really kind

2017
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:19,519
Speaker 10: of stunk up the joint with some really mid tier

2018
01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 10: play and if they're probably not going to make Champions League,

2019
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:24,320
Speaker 10: then they're going to need more than just a couple

2020
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:28,200
Speaker 10: thirty pound gestures to win back fans because this has

2021
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 10: not been the season to remember for the Spurs.

2022
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting we talk about the New York media.

2023
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 2: I'll tell you the British press can be brutal on

2024
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:42,760
Speaker 2: soccer teams. Even though it's been acknowledged as a nice

2025
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:46,320
Speaker 2: gesture to media didn't exactly respond well. They said, you know,

2026
01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 2: you can pay back the fans for that game, and

2027
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 2: that's the least you can do. That's not going to

2028
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:52,840
Speaker 2: meet a damn thing unless we start to see better

2029
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 2: performances the rest of the season. You know, games you

2030
01:47:56,160 --> 01:47:58,799
Speaker 2: win him and lose, but we don't. We're not seeing passion,

2031
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:00,519
Speaker 2: we're not seeing desire. It's got to come from every

2032
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 2: single player in every single match. Kind of interesting how

2033
01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 2: the British media respond to that gesture. Didn't exactly let

2034
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 2: him off the hook.

2035
01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:10,559
Speaker 10: No, and for the reasons I said, because the rest

2036
01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:12,679
Speaker 10: of their season has just been very foul. I think

2037
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:16,840
Speaker 10: you know they understand that, like, look, they're reaching the pocketbooks,

2038
01:48:16,840 --> 01:48:20,280
Speaker 10: but the players are are doing right by it. But

2039
01:48:20,320 --> 01:48:23,240
Speaker 10: at the same time, like a it's not exactly putting

2040
01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 10: a dent in the players. It's not like the players

2041
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 10: are really hurting to make this all work for Hotspur.

2042
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 10: But at the same time, the club is particularly rich,

2043
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 10: it's one of the Big six, it's one of the

2044
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:35,559
Speaker 10: biggest clubs out there, and this is the product they've

2045
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:38,320
Speaker 10: kind of put out there. They've they've been haphazard and

2046
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:42,479
Speaker 10: dismissing Antonio Coonzi. They've really kind of fouled up this

2047
01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:46,719
Speaker 10: ability to even make Champions League. And to be honest

2048
01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:49,720
Speaker 10: with the window closing on Harry Kane, who might be

2049
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:53,640
Speaker 10: their greatest player ever, and he might be dismissed and

2050
01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:56,880
Speaker 10: have to leave here in the in the summer transfer window.

2051
01:48:57,439 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 2: It is.

2052
01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:01,040
Speaker 10: It is kind of a little it's a small gesture,

2053
01:49:01,320 --> 01:49:06,280
Speaker 10: and it's not exactly enough to help save Tottenham's reputation,

2054
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:09,000
Speaker 10: especially as they crash down the league course here on

2055
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:09,439
Speaker 10: the run in.

2056
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:12,799
Speaker 2: Finally, we just got about a minute, Chris. But we're

2057
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 2: into May next week, which means we're just about sixty

2058
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 2: days away from Women's World Cup. We covered Men's World

2059
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:27,960
Speaker 2: Cup heavily heading into the fall campaign in Qatar last year.

2060
01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:32,400
Speaker 2: We'll start to do that here in the next few weeks.

2061
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:36,240
Speaker 2: Any quick thoughts about the women's CAREERLD Cup heading heading

2062
01:49:36,240 --> 01:49:36,920
Speaker 2: to US in July.

2063
01:49:37,280 --> 01:49:39,439
Speaker 10: I think I think it's gonna be a lot more open.

2064
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 10: You know, every year we've kind of penciled in some

2065
01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:44,080
Speaker 10: of the biggest teams of the world, be it you know,

2066
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:48,800
Speaker 10: United States. This year in particular, I think the competition

2067
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:51,719
Speaker 10: might be a little more open, which is even more

2068
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:54,680
Speaker 10: fantastic because as much as we like to root for USA,

2069
01:49:54,800 --> 01:49:57,360
Speaker 10: as much as I think people like to root for dynasties,

2070
01:49:57,439 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 10: it is. The World Cup has always built itself on

2071
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:02,680
Speaker 10: excitement of you never know who might win it, and

2072
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:04,840
Speaker 10: I think that is going to be exactly what the

2073
01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 10: women's game needs to continue to grow. And it's already

2074
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:12,280
Speaker 10: grown very very well here in the United States.

2075
01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:14,920
Speaker 2: And my daughter was a recipient of that. She played

2076
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:18,599
Speaker 2: Division one soccer. Good stuff, Chris. As we get into this,

2077
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:20,599
Speaker 2: I'll be curious to know who the biggest challenge would

2078
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:23,000
Speaker 2: be to the US team. Chris Proferts, World of Soccer.

2079
01:50:23,040 --> 01:50:27,080
Speaker 2: See you soon, Chris, see you, Burnie, Thank you all right.

2080
01:50:27,439 --> 01:50:29,679
Speaker 2: By the way, it's just a quick PostScript to fans

2081
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:34,559
Speaker 2: rush in the field Broncos lyyf Broncos Life tweets in

2082
01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:37,120
Speaker 2: this is a pretty good idea. Don't let fans in

2083
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:39,599
Speaker 2: the stadium in the first place, have the next home

2084
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 2: game with empty student sections. That doesn't work. The next

2085
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:45,200
Speaker 2: step is to have no fans at a home game.

2086
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 2: That wouldn't punish the players of the program, only the

2087
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:52,479
Speaker 2: fans who are the actual problem. That makes a hell

2088
01:50:52,479 --> 01:50:57,880
Speaker 2: of a lot of sense. Maybe fines forfeits Bowl games.

2089
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:01,080
Speaker 2: That might not work. How about the culprits themselves with

2090
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:02,680
Speaker 2: the fans who know They're not supposed to do this

2091
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:06,360
Speaker 2: in the first place. Maybe you forced them to bear

2092
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:10,720
Speaker 2: the brunt coming up the Oakland A's to Vegas. Is

2093
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:13,719
Speaker 2: it a done to you or is it reckless, wishful

2094
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:18,200
Speaker 2: thinking or somewhere in between. I'll give you the latest.

Speaker 2: time on Friday night. That would be Mark Ramsey, our

Speaker 2: technical producer turning all the Donalds, keeping us glued together,

2105

2109
01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:14,200
Speaker 2: Bernie's Backyard bunkin Bets have the standings up on Monday,

2110
01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:17,400
Speaker 2: and how you know I've done on my betting and

2111
01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:20,840
Speaker 2: how I've done on my trivia questions as well. Ethan

2112
01:52:20,920 --> 01:52:24,639
Speaker 2: will have all the percentages and stats, etc. As we've

2113
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:28,360
Speaker 2: completed week five and heading towards the you know, the

2114
01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:30,880
Speaker 2: twelve week contest, and Ethan will have the latest standing.

2115
01:52:31,200 --> 01:52:34,519
Speaker 2: All right, you're hearing it reported as if it's a

2116
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:38,479
Speaker 2: done deal. Now, don't selectively listen. I'm not saying that

2117
01:52:38,520 --> 01:52:42,280
Speaker 2: the A's are not coming to Vegas. The dynamic is

2118
01:52:42,320 --> 01:52:45,960
Speaker 2: far different than when the Raiders came here, and far

2119
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:49,719
Speaker 2: different from the Golden Knights. So it's not that it's

2120
01:52:50,200 --> 01:52:52,400
Speaker 2: not going to happen. We don't know. Is it a

2121
01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:55,320
Speaker 2: done deal? Far from a done deal? Is it reckless?

2122
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:58,760
Speaker 2: Wishful thinking? I wouldn't say that, but let me share

2123
01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:02,559
Speaker 2: some things with you. Okay, nobody's stopping the A's from

2124
01:53:02,600 --> 01:53:05,200
Speaker 2: building their ballpark in Vegas, But if you want five

2125
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:08,280
Speaker 2: hundred million in free public money towards the construction, well,

2126
01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:10,559
Speaker 2: now that's a horse of a different color. As they

2127
01:53:10,600 --> 01:53:13,960
Speaker 2: sayed in the Wizard of Oz. So the A's plan

2128
01:53:14,080 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 2: is so aggressive they actually want to submit a move

2129
01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:22,920
Speaker 2: request to Major League Baseball owners this fall. Now we're

2130
01:53:22,920 --> 01:53:25,719
Speaker 2: a week from May. The future always has a way

2131
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:29,040
Speaker 2: of arriving ahead of schedule. Are you telling me you

2132
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:31,800
Speaker 2: really think the A's can have a stadium funding plan

2133
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:36,360
Speaker 2: and a public private agreement in place by then? At

2134
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:38,879
Speaker 2: this point, the A's don't even have a stadium rendering

2135
01:53:39,680 --> 01:53:42,360
Speaker 2: or they've named a stadium design architect. This is not

2136
01:53:42,479 --> 01:53:46,880
Speaker 2: a done deal. They bought land. That's it so far. Okay,

2137
01:53:47,560 --> 01:53:50,880
Speaker 2: forty nine acres over behind Tropicana and Dean Martin. They've

2138
01:53:50,960 --> 01:53:54,880
Speaker 2: entered into a binding agreement. Now, John Fisher, the very

2139
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:57,599
Speaker 2: wealthy owner of the A's, my understanding, worth a billion

2140
01:53:57,640 --> 01:54:00,200
Speaker 2: dollars air to the gap fortune. How much which of

2141
01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:06,679
Speaker 2: an appetite is there for local funding here? Public funding here?

2142
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:11,679
Speaker 2: When you will have other factions, roads, schools, healthcare, things

2143
01:54:11,680 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 2: that have been talked about that would love to have

2144
01:54:13,880 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 2: some of that money as well. One of the reasons

2145
01:54:17,479 --> 01:54:20,960
Speaker 2: that a Legion Stadium was built and the A's were

2146
01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:24,080
Speaker 2: welcome here, checked that the Raiders were welcome here is

2147
01:54:24,160 --> 01:54:28,240
Speaker 2: because they convinced Brian Sandoval and Brian Sandevial, our governor

2148
01:54:28,280 --> 01:54:32,280
Speaker 2: at the time, convinced local factions that this stadium was

2149
01:54:32,320 --> 01:54:35,600
Speaker 2: worthy of public money through a hotel tax, because it

2150
01:54:35,600 --> 01:54:39,520
Speaker 2: would be a venue that would bring other major events

2151
01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:42,920
Speaker 2: like Taylor Swift and you name it right, the Korean

2152
01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:45,919
Speaker 2: k pop band just sold the play is unreal, the crowds,

2153
01:54:46,480 --> 01:54:48,800
Speaker 2: and so that would help Vegas to continue to be

2154
01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:54,640
Speaker 2: a world class tourism city. Now the Oakland franchise, they've

2155
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:58,960
Speaker 2: set their sets on Vegas. Interestingly enough, at this time,

2156
01:55:00,360 --> 01:55:02,840
Speaker 2: even though there are no civic or community organizations that

2157
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:06,680
Speaker 2: are calling for Vegas to host a Major League baseball team. Typically,

2158
01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:09,000
Speaker 2: you see this, I believe in Nashville. I think you've

2159
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:11,400
Speaker 2: seen it in Salt Lake City, may have seen it

2160
01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:14,200
Speaker 2: in Portland. Typically, fans in a city will form an

2161
01:55:14,240 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 2: organization or the former coalition to support a major League

2162
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:22,320
Speaker 2: baseball team if the community desires to have that team.

2163
01:55:22,560 --> 01:55:24,800
Speaker 2: I think there's an organization in Salt Lake City, bring

2164
01:55:24,840 --> 01:55:27,839
Speaker 2: Baseball to Salt Lake something like that. Right. In addition,

2165
01:55:28,240 --> 01:55:31,800
Speaker 2: at this time, not that it can't change, but I'm

2166
01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:35,520
Speaker 2: giving you reality. I know of no elected officials who've

2167
01:55:35,560 --> 01:55:38,960
Speaker 2: supported using new taxes to help build a baseball stadium

2168
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:41,680
Speaker 2: for the olk andes by the way. What's interesting, the

2169
01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:44,080
Speaker 2: Oakland Athletics already have their Triple A team here in

2170
01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:47,880
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, a beautiful ten thousand seed ballpark in Summerland,

2171
01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:51,200
Speaker 2: about twelve miles from the strip, right around the corner

2172
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:54,080
Speaker 2: from where the Golden Knights practice and the beautiful Red

2173
01:55:54,120 --> 01:55:57,240
Speaker 2: Rock facility, right and they've said that the Aviators, a

2174
01:55:57,280 --> 01:56:01,800
Speaker 2: Triple A team, would stay if the a's came.

2175
01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:03,760
Speaker 10: Uh.

2176
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:07,840
Speaker 2: Dave Cavall, who agreed to purchase the land and the

2177
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:12,920
Speaker 2: forty nine acres, also noted that you know that the

2178
01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:15,080
Speaker 2: Aviators and the Athletics will that be no different than

2179
01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:17,520
Speaker 2: the Henderson Silver Knights in the Vegas School the Knights,

2180
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:23,880
Speaker 2: you know, the of the NHL right now. Uh. The

2181
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 2: ballpark will also need to be climbate controlled because of

2182
01:56:26,400 --> 01:56:29,080
Speaker 2: the Vegas hot summers one hundred ten degrees, so you're

2183
01:56:29,080 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 2: gonna have to have a retractable roof. Okay, But they

2184
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 2: also talked it would not They saidered a potential stadium

2185
01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:38,760
Speaker 2: would not be cavernous like the Coliseum where the attendance

2186
01:56:38,800 --> 01:56:42,560
Speaker 2: has been the lowest for you know, for years. But

2187
01:56:42,680 --> 01:56:46,000
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is that even if it's

2188
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:52,720
Speaker 2: a nice, cozy stadium small you know, uh roof, retractable roof, whatever,

2189
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:56,000
Speaker 2: and you have eighty one home dates a year. It's

2190
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:58,600
Speaker 2: not whether or not teams will support the A's or

2191
01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 2: fans will support the a's. Well they come to the stadium,

2192
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 2: and I believe they probably will. I believe they probably would,

2193
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:11,640
Speaker 2: And it's potentially an economic development that would bring in revenue.

2194
01:57:11,760 --> 01:57:13,720
Speaker 2: But we don't know. There's a lot we don't know.

2195
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:16,040
Speaker 2: So the cart is before the horse, and that's the

2196
01:57:16,120 --> 01:57:20,840
Speaker 2: reason I'm silverheman about this. I'm not saying it's a reckless,

2197
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:23,680
Speaker 2: wishful thinking prospect, but it's certainly not a done deal.

2198
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:27,640
Speaker 2: Could the Oakland AGAs come to Vegas some point, sure,

2199
01:57:28,320 --> 01:57:30,440
Speaker 2: but we're a long way from that, and to report

2200
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:32,760
Speaker 2: it that it's a done deal or to act like

2201
01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:35,800
Speaker 2: it is, is irresponsible journalism. We're going to continue to

2202
01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 2: cover this story as we have new developments and new updates.

2203
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:42,440
Speaker 2: You'll want to stay tuned because it's a national story.

2204
01:57:42,800 --> 01:57:44,440
Speaker 2: It's going to do it for the Bernie Frattles Show,

2205
01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 2: but keep it locked right here in Fox Sports Radio.

2206
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:49,160
