00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: Stat of the day poll question, all of that forthcoming.

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: But the big news now, it might not sound like

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: big news, but it struck me as a little news ish.

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: And that's the Lakers with Lebron James. He opts in,

25
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: and I don't know if there was any real mystery

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: that would he not opt in, would he become a

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: free agent? Does he want to go someplace else? Keep

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: in mind what he said on his podcast with Steve

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: Nash that it's really not about rings if you're going

30
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: to look at somebody's legacy or their greatness. And I

31
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: thought it was his way passive aggressively saying, hey, I'm

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: not going to catch Michael Jordan, but that doesn't mean

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: I'm not better than Michael Jordan. It was a passive

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: aggressive comment. And if they counted the passive aggressive assist

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: for Lebron James, he'd probably have about five under more

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: assist on his total. Very passive aggressive, very good at

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: being passive aggressive. But his agent, Rich Paul said that

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: Lebron knows the Lakers are building for the future, but

39
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: he also wants to compete for championships. This is Rich

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: Paul telling the Athletic and the Mothership goes on to say,

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: we understand the difficulty in winning now while preparing for

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: the future. We do want to evaluate what's best for

43
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: Lebron at this stage in his life and career. He

44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: wants to make every season he has left count and

45
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: the Lakers understand them, and they're supportive and they want

46
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 2: what's best for him. We're very appreciative of the partnership

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: we've had for eight years with Genie Buss, Rob Polenka,

48
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: and consider the Lakers as a critical part of his career. Okay,

49
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 2: this is all about Luka Doncic. This is his team now.

50
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: It's official, Lebron, hey got some nice parting gifts. I

51
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 2: hope you enjoy a farewell tour. Aaron Rodgers going to

52
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: have farewell tours. You can play one more season with

53
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: your son here. But this is about the Lakers, not

54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: wanting to do something drastic just for now. This is

55
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: about building the future. Is Austin Reeve's going to stay there.

56
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: He turned down a contract extension. He's going to make

57
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: more money, but this will be the final year and

58
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: they're going to have to pay more money, and rightfully so,

59
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been a bargain, a very good player.

60
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: Luca wants to have a big man. Who are you

61
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: going to get? And the first thing I thought of

62
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: is Lebron's staying and look, he's still maybe a top

63
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: ten player, certainly top fifteen player. But they want to

64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: be in the sweepstakes for Jannis. That's what struck me

65
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: here is, Hey, Milwaukee has traded a big man to

66
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: Los Angeles before and it worked out really well for

67
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: the Lakers. Can they get Yannis? Would they be involved

68
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: in that picture? When you clear Lebron's salary fifty plus

69
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: million off the books? And I think that's what this

70
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: is all about. It's Luca's team. Lebron is there and

71
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: there's going to be a farewell tour. And you know,

72
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: for everybody who said, wait a minute, I've thought Lebron's

73
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: the GM. Maybe he was the GM five or six

74
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: years ago, seven years ago, not the GM. Now, now,

75
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: what are you going to do? Can you do something?

76
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: And you're still going to be competitive? I mean you

77
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: can win upwards of fifty five games this year, I think.

78
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: But they right now, the Lakers have the fifth best

79
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: odds to win the title according to DraftKings. To win

80
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,119
Speaker 2: the Western Conference, they're up there, but Houston's really good. Okay,

81
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: see just won a title, So you got to start there.

82
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 2: You're not on their level, at least not right now,

83
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: because those teams are young and still hungry and they're deep.

84
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: The Lakers are not. But that doesn't mean with Luca.

85
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: We've seen Luca take a team to the NBA Finals.

86
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: Now you do, you have Lebron and Reeves, you do

87
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: have some pieces there. The question is sort of what

88
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: is reality? And in Los Angeles Hollywood, you don't always

89
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: deal in reality. Sometimes you're like in La La Land,

90
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: seet's see what I did? Okay, you guys, hey, come

91
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: on show started to La La Land, Thank you, thank you,

92
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: thank you. See and win totals not available yet of

93
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: what the Lakers win total prop bet would be, but

94
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: you know, probably a fifty two to fifty three win team.

95
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: But you know they bowed out against Minnesota early against

96
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: a younger team. Once again, you got a factor in

97
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: Minnesota as well because they're still a formidable team. But

98
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: it just struck me, as hey, what about Lebron? And

99
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: it felt like the Lakers were saying, yeah, yeah, we're

100
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: gonna pay him that money and keep his son on

101
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: the roster. And but this is Luca's team, and now

102
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: what we do will be to incorporate what we think

103
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: will help Luca in the future. This is about the future.

104
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: It's not about now. Got to keep Lebron. He wants

105
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: to stay in La all the business opportunities he has,

106
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: and you have your son there. But it feels like

107
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: this is the last year Lebron plays for the Lakers.

108
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 2: Does he play another year someplace else? That's always the possibility.

109
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 4: Yes, Buony, this reminds you of SEC football when you

110
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 4: have a really good senior quarterback, but you have a

111
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 4: five star recruit coming in and the five star recruit

112
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: is wagging the dog like Clemson back in the day.

113
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: I saw the quote by Rich Paul, I understood it. Obviously,

114
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 4: you want to do as much as you can in

115
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: the near future to build for the near future. But

116
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 4: the Lakers five months ago, yesterday or tomorrow, they traded

117
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 4: for Luka Dacic, which establishes their current and future. In

118
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: one of the great swindles in recent basketball history. It's

119
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 4: like they forgot about this.

120
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was building for the future, but it was

121
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: helping now by getting one of the top five players

122
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: in the world. But I don't know if Lebron sees

123
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: it that way. He knows it's Luca's team. Why make

124
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: this public? Can you make it public to put pressure

125
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: on the front office to do something here, or if

126
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: the team's not that good, we told you to do something.

127
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of surprised that rich Paul was going

128
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: to say this, you know publicly, Yes, Marmon.

129
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 5: Rich Paul's treating the Lakers like they're the hornets, Like,

130
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 5: are you guys trying to compete? They're the Lakers. Of

131
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: course they're trying to compete. Why do you think they

132
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: got Luca? Just like Paulie said, that's stupid.

133
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but why would you say this publicly?

134
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: Don't do you think the front office doesn't realize, Hey Lebron,

135
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: don't forget about Lebron. Hey we gotta win championships. Hey,

136
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: it's about now. Don't you think you had that conversation

137
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: with them when you decided to opt in on that salary. Absolutely,

138
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: I would guess you would say to Rob Polinka, hey,

139
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: he's going to opt in, but you got to help

140
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: him out a little bit here.

141
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: I was just kind of surprised.

142
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: That, Hey, this is about now too, don't forget about Lebron.

143
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: This is about the future with Luca.

144
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: We get that, but I mean, what do you expect

145
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: them to do, like trade Austin Reeves and then you're

146
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: getting what they still need shooting? They need a big

147
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: man perimeter defense is I mean, there's some issues here

148
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: that it doesn't just solve it by And Lebron wasn't

149
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 2: taking a discount. They said that right away. He's you know,

150
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: he's not giving you a hometown discount. Here just feels

151
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: like this is a strange comment to make the end

152
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: of June. This is still good team. Are they better

153
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: than Denver? Better than Minnesota? They're not better than the Rockets,

154
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 2: I don't think. And they're not better than OKC. If

155
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: you just start there now, you still have some bottom

156
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: feeders there in the West. But are they a fifth seed?

157
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 2: Are they going to be better than Dallas? When Kyriees

158
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: comes back, that team might be better. Yeah, you know.

159
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 6: I think if you're if you're I don't know. I'm

160
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 6: just trying to play devil's advocate, I guess. But if

161
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 6: you're an Aging Stars agent and you decide to give

162
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 6: it one more go, maybe just putting the emphasis even

163
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 6: though everybody knows it on you know, we don't have

164
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 6: a lot of time left and Lebron needs to win

165
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 6: right now. So we know the Lakers are going to

166
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 6: carry on long after Lebron James is finished, but he

167
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 6: needs to win right now, and that's where our focus

168
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 6: is on right now. You guys might be looking more

169
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 6: to the future, but we need to do this right now.

170
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 6: And you know, I don't know that it's as like

171
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 6: maybe not sinister is the right word, but I don't

172
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 6: know that it's any deeper than like, you know, this

173
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 6: dude's only got maybe a year left here, so we

174
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 6: got to win this year. I don't think there's anything

175
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 6: wrong with that.

176
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 3: But do you think the front office doesn't realize that.

177
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 7: I don't know that.

178
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 6: I think that the front office probably doesn't look at

179
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 6: it as crucially important this one year. As the guy

180
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 6: who's like, I might be done after this, I only

181
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 6: got one year left, maybe two, whereas the Lakers see

182
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 6: themselves as a global brand for hundreds of years.

183
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: But if you're a Lebron and here you're his agent,

184
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: don't you then say to the front office, are you

185
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: guys all in this year? And then if you're not Hey,

186
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 2: we're building for the future. I mean, we're in and

187
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: we're all in, but with the pieces that we have

188
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: right now, they're waiting for Lebron's salary to be off

189
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: the books. So that's the weird part of this.

190
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, Seed, Well, maybe it's setting up a you know,

191
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 6: I don't know mid season.

192
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,359
Speaker 3: It's saucy.

193
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: I don't see it happening because if you're Lebron, let's say,

194
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: because he has a no trade, you don't want to

195
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 2: go to a team you're going to weaken by going

196
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: to them, and they.

197
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: Have to give pieces to the Lakers.

198
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: If he was going to go, let's say he wanted

199
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: to go back to Cleveland, now's when you go just say,

200
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to go. Put me on that team and

201
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 2: we're going to be the favorites in the East. Will

202
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: be the favorites because the East is damaged right now.

203
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: You want to win another title, win a title in Cleveland,

204
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: you can do that. But I just think there's selfish reasons.

205
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: You want to stay in La. Your family's in LA

206
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: business opportunities, your son's playing for the team. You probably

207
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: can't have it both ways there. But to me, this

208
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: is really signaling that yes, you're here. We will compete

209
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: this year, but then we have to move on. There's

210
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 2: a whole nother era that's going to start, and maybe

211
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 2: it started this weekend.

212
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 5: Yes, Mart, if you're the Lakers, do you ask Rich

213
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 5: p All flat out, hey, do you think Lebron has

214
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 5: one year left or two years left? Just so we

215
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 5: can get the show on the road. As far as

216
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 5: preparing for the future with Luca as their.

217
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: Guy, well, did you do a one plus one or

218
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: is it just a one year deal? That might tell

219
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 2: you too with the Lakers that they may look at

220
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: this as a one year deal.

221
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: I mean, he's obviously.

222
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: Still a great player, and still a draw and still important,

223
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: like all of those things. I just think they're saying,

224
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: that guy's forty and that guy's twenty six, We're hitching

225
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 2: our wagon to him and come along for the ride.

226
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: He is the guy who's leading us, not you, yeah, pulling.

227
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: It is ironic that if this were any other sport,

228
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: they would move on from Lebron James. If this or football,

229
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 4: they would have moved on from well before they were

230
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: into this situation. Even baseball, they try not to keep

231
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: older guys at the very very end, but the NFL

232
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: would never have this direction for a franchise.

235
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 2: investigation into one of the Detroit Pistons. We'll talk about that.

236
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: The prop bets, that's the key. Took away prop bets

237
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: from college football, college athletics, and they make a lot

238
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 2: of money prop bets. But then you know, our players

239
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: realizing they can make some money too. And you know,

240
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: we talked about this early this morning, and Fritzy goes,

241
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: why would you do that? You know you're already making

242
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: a lot of money. He was ready to sign Beasley,

243
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: ready to sign a three year, forty two million dollar deal.

244
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: Well you do it because you don't think he'll get caught.

245
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: If that's the case, If that's what happened in this situation.

246
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: You know John Kay Porter, Michael Porter Junior, the Third's brother,

247
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: he was hanging on. He was a fringe player and

248
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 2: probably saying, hey, you know what, I can help some friends.

249
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: Maybe I get a couple hundred thousand dollars out of

250
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: a day. You're not thinking, hey, why, hey, I could

251
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: get caught. You're you you don't think that way. You think, hey,

252
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 2: this is a great opportunity. Nobody will notice. I mean,

253
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: that's the great part of this for me is the NBA.

254
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 2: If it's true, they caught him, they found this, they

255
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: saw this. You know, Vegas polices, they have to police

256
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: the sport. It's their business, multi billion dollar business. We

257
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 2: have to be aware of everything. But we'll have more

258
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: on this coming up next hour. But I don't care

259
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: how small you know that you think or nobody's gonna

260
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: notice me.

261
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 3: They will. They have to.

262
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: It's like whenever you see something that looks strange, it

263
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: goes from this to this that Vegas knows this, they're

264
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: watching this. But Beasley is a nine year veteran. You

265
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: got some money. If it's true that you are shaving

266
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: points or prop bets, they'll catch you. They'll find you.

267
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: They have to. It's their job. It's imperative. But for

268
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: these guys to go, nobody's gonna notice this little thing here, Hey,

269
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: over under rebounds is six and a half. Nobody will notice.

270
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: They have to notice because if you tell somebody, that

271
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: person tells somebody that it's a game of telephone. After that, Hey,

272
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: I got it, I got a tip. This happened to

273
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: me when I gambled. Somebody would say, hey, you know

274
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: what I'm hearing? Oh yeah, and then somebody would say

275
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, by the time I

276
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: got to the bed, it went from six and a

277
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: half to nine and a half. Like it was like, Okay,

278
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: something's up. And then the bookies go, hey, we're going

279
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: to react accordingly. And then they take it off the

280
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: off the board. They're gonna find.

281
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: You, They're gonna get you.

282
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: And if that's the case, and the FEDS involved in this,

283
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: now this isn't the NBA, it's the Feds. We'll talk

284
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: about that coming up. All right, we'll get to phone

00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: to have the Austin Reeves situation with his contract that

308
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: he turned down, you know, a sizeable raise, but he's

309
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 2: going to be worth more than that, at least feels

310
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 2: like on the open market if he gets to the

311
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: open market.

312
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: All right.

313
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 6: Poll question Seaton for Hour one is going to be what,

314
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 6: well we got one here that we kind of have

315
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 6: to populate a little bit. Okay, but it's fun, it's

316
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 6: good topic. And which sport does it feel like you

317
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 6: have the best chance to go from worse to first

318
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 6: bad to contending but worse the first sort of rhymes

319
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 6: a little better.

320
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, the NFL and their schedule makers try to

321
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 2: encourage this that they'll give you an easier schedule if

322
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: you know, the lower you finish in your division, and

323
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: they make it tougher for the team that won the division.

324
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: So they have a philosophy in place to do that

325
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 2: to make your schedule a little easier for you to

326
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: go from worse to first. You know, basketball's had what

327
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: seven different champions the last seven years, So if you

328
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: want to say there's parody, there's no dynasty. Feels like

329
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: the same teams were playing for the championship in the NFL.

330
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: Baseball feels like you get kind of the same teams.

331
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: You know, maybe five to seven teams that are going

332
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: to be there to win the World Series this year.

333
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: How many teams do you think could win the NBA

334
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: championship next year? Maybe five?

335
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 3: Six?

336
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 2: How many could win in football? Five six, maybe set

337
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: maybe seven. Now in the NFL, you get a you know,

338
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 2: it's one game. It's really hard to be a surprise.

339
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: When there are seven game series and you have three

340
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: or four rounds that you have to go through, you're

341
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: not surprising anybody. You'll get exposed eventually. But in football,

342
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: just like March Madness, it's one game, one game, and

343
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: you can have your best game or you can have

344
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: your worst game, and that's where you get surprises. But

345
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: I think it's really difficult to look at baseball or

346
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: basketball and go that team's going to surprise that team,

347
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: and then that team and then that team, and then

348
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: win the championship and you're going to win four games

349
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: out of seven against those teams.

350
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: It's really hard to do that.

351
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: I would say the NFL gives you the better opportunity

352
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 2: to go from worse to first, but also have that

353
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: maybe surprise ish run in the postseason because once again

354
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 2: you only have to beat that team once.

355
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: Yes, PAULI yeah for this poll.

356
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 4: I was thinking, does the NFL pay structure, I'm sorry,

357
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 4: the NBA pay structure preclude teams from going on a

358
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 4: run from year year, Like if you're a Portland Trailblazers

359
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 4: fan or a Brooklyn Nets fan, you can't think at

360
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 4: all realistically that we could be a contender next year.

361
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 4: It's gonna take years and expiring contracts and you got

362
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 4: to get breaks. But in the NFL you cannot make

363
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 4: the playoffs. One year and make it the next I

364
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 4: looked it up. There have been three teams in the

365
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 4: past forty years that didn't make the playoffs in the

366
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: NBA and won the title the next season. The Golden

367
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 4: State Wars in twenty twenty two, the Lakers in twenty twenty,

368
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 4: and the Boston Celtics in two thousand and eight. They

369
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 4: did not make the playoffs and then they won the title.

370
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: But you add injuries to a couple of those teams

371
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: that you know prevented them from making the postseason, then

372
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 2: the next year they got healthy.

373
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting.

374
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 6: To me how the lottery odds actually hurt in some

375
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 6: ways the prospect of getting better faster because the odds

376
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 6: of getting the best player are flattened. So that actually

377
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 6: hurts the teams at the bottom in a way because

378
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 6: obviously you can't tank, but it makes it way more

379
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 6: of an unknown if you're getting the best player or not.

380
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: Some phone calls here, eh seven seven three DP show

381
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: Aiden in Utah is back.

382
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 3: Hi, Aidan, what do you have for me?

383
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm morning dpat. Hey, Hey, Lebron wants to win now, right?

384
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 9: You need more debt? You need to better line up.

385
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 9: I would think you really need the big maybe you

386
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 9: could trade for like an Anthony Davis or something like that.

387
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: Thank you aid, Yeah, Luca wants to have a big man.

388
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: I mean they need some things. If you say, well,

389
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: they what the number three seed, but weren't they two games,

390
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: two wins out of being like the seventh or eighth seed.

391
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 7: That's right.

392
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it sounds like, hey, they're a three seed, okay,

393
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: but man, it was perilously close to being maybe a

394
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: seven or eight seed. Plus half the teams in the

395
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 2: NBA make the playoffs. If you start there, that that's

396
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: sixteen teams and then you have to play in so

397
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: you have eighteen nineteen teams. Let's see if you're gonna

398
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: have any you know, twenty teams that are gonna be

399
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: so so twelve teams probably aren't involved in a postseason

400
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 2: conversation exactly right, Probably twelve. Jim in Vegas, Hi, Jim,

401
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?

402
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 10: Dan?

403
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 11: It's a nice talking to again. Spent a long time.

404
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 11: I wasn't gonna think of the best of the worst

405
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 11: of it. I just want to I guess I'm from Detroit,

406
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 11: so that watching the Tigers on Sunday night, that was

407
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 11: pretty impressive. It's been a while, but I got to

408
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 11: disagree with this, sir. I hate to do it about

409
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 11: the NFL scheduling. I think you're about twenty years behind

410
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 11: because the last ide checked, I know, they added a

411
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 11: seventeenth game. But you play six in your division, you

412
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 11: play four against an AFC division, you play four against

413
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 11: an NFC division. That's fourteen games, so that the other

414
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 11: three I don't even know how they do the third one,

415
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 11: but the other two are the only games that are

416
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 11: based on what your ranking was in your division. So

417
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 11: on a fourteen out of seventeen, they're already decided before

418
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 11: the season begins. I hate to do that to you, buddy,

419
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 11: but I just want to check you in on that.

420
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 12: Well.

421
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 2: Great, but wasn't it always that way where you were

422
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: going to play a division and then you're going to

423
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: play the teams in your in your conference?

424
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 3: Right, wasn't this set like that ten years ago?

425
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 11: Well, that's what I'm saying. You're saying that it's based

426
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 11: on if you have a bad season. You're saying that

427
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 11: your record is a usin to give you an easier

428
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 11: path to the playoffs because you had a bad season.

429
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 11: I'm saying that's not the case at all, that your

430
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 11: season is did your wreck? Your schedule is determined well

431
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 11: at advance, there's only three games out of seventeen that

432
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 11: are adjusted for your win loss record.

433
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: All right, well, then I sit corrected. Thank you, Jim.

434
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 2: But they always talked about strength of schedule. So I'd

435
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: be curious the teams that finish last strength of schedule

436
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: coming up this upcoming season. But thank you if you're

437
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: correcting me and that's the case. I always thought that

438
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: the NFL was hoping for the worst to first, and

439
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: there would be a reason for going from worst to first.

440
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: That doesn't happen in any other sport, but it does

441
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Let's see Fresh in Milwaukee is back.

442
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 3: Hi Fresh? What's on your mind?

443
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 10: Morning? DP? And Dan needs got a good one for

444
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 10: you this Monday. If I give you this, and if

445
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 10: we could take this one around the room, I would

446
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 10: love it. I'll give you everybody in the NBA history

447
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 10: to draft, give me your starting five.

448
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: That'll thank you Fresh, Probably not today, it'll take over

449
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: the show. You're you're Mount Rushmore where there's five players now?

450
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: And am I building a team now? Is it?

451
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 7: Is?

452
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 3: It just one year for my starting five?

453
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 2: Is it I get a decade of this team or

454
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: just one and done, one and done fresh?

455
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying.

456
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 10: No, we're taking it for the decade. Give me a

457
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 10: decade starting five?

458
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: That all right?

459
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: Uh, Marvin, you got one for fresh air.

460
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 5: Moses Malone at center, Dirt Novinsky at the four, Lebron

461
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 5: at the three, MG at the two, Jason Kidd at

462
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 5: the one.

463
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 3: That's your all time team off.

464
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 7: The top of my head. Oh, you think I go

465
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 7: wrong with them?

466
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 3: Well I wouldn't.

467
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 7: Well, okay, cheer team, you better start playing with Moses more.

468
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: I'm the one that brought up Moses Malone to you.

469
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 2: You don't even know about Moses Malone all of a sudden,

470
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 2: you go, Man, look at his numbers. Yeah, won a

471
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: couple MVPs.

472
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 7: You said, who didn't know about Moses Moran?

473
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 3: Fo fo foe.

474
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 4: Yes, Paulie, I think, off the top of my head

475
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: my starting five all time, I'll go Magic Johnson, Steph Curry,

476
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Hakeim, Elijah On.

477
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 7: Hey, I'll go to bat with that.

478
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a wrong answer here, Yeah,

479
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: but I would now Paulie put Jordan at the three. Now,

480
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: if we did position basketball, that would be more interesting.

481
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 2: If I said, hey, Mike's Mike's guard, Magic's a guard.

482
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 2: That means you can't have Steph Curry, or you can

483
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: have Steph, but you can't have Mike at the three.

484
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: Larry would be at the three, then who's at your four?

485
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: And then who's at your five? When basketball was not positionless,

486
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: So Todd, do you have a starting five? Do you

487
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: want to throw in here?

488
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 13: I like what Paulie said, but put Kareem in the

489
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 13: middle if we were going by positions.

490
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're cheating off Paulie.

491
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 13: Okay, but I think I know how you feel about Kareem.

492
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 13: I would definitely want to make sure mj and Kareem

493
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 13: were two of.

494
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 3: My right seaton.

495
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 6: Uh, Magic, Michael Lebron, Tim Duncan, Kareem m.

496
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, you can't go wrong, you can't. No, no, yeah.

497
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 4: Paul I like to look this up once in a while.

498
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 4: Do you don't because you're talking about positions and Michael

499
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 4: Jordan was listed as a shooting guard for most of

500
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 4: his career. The two years he was on Washington, Michael

501
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 4: Jordan was listed a face as a small forward. How weird,

502
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 4: m because a player decides that thought, thank you, thank you.

503
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 7: It's weird.

504
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 4: Like Tim Duncan was listed at power forward for six years,

505
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 4: then center for three years, then back to power forward.

506
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 4: I don't know how that works.

507
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 2: Well, you have a better chance of being All NBA

508
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: because there's two forwards as opposed to one center. And

509
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: that's why a lot of these guys don't want to

510
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: be listed or didn't want to be listed as a center.

511
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: Uh Dane in Texas, Hi Dane, what's on your mind?

512
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 12: Hey, hey darn, good morning, Good morning you all? Are

513
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 12: you all are big on bets? Since you're talking about

514
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 12: gambling pie in the face, I was wondering if Dylan

515
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 12: would be up to the challenge of a pie in

516
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 12: the stomach. So you'd have maybe a segment or two

517
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 12: to eat the pie, depending on who lost the bet,

518
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 12: and you'd have to have a standardized pie. So it's

519
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 12: Sam's Club, it's a twelve inch diameter, it's four point

520
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 12: five pounds, and you know you'd have to eat the

521
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 12: pie in the segment or two and the bet I've

522
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 12: got Notre Dame Miami, Notre Dame is favored by two

523
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 12: and a half. He can have you decided a bet?

524
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 2: Thank you, Dan, it's late June. We're betting on Notre

525
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: Dame in Miami. Call us in August. There, Dane, call

526
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: Us in August. Uh Marcus and Texas. Hi Marcus, what's

527
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 2: on your mind?

528
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 10: Hey Dan?

529
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, I want to follow up about that the guy

530
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 14: that just called in about the scheduling. You are right,

531
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 14: they do make the schedule easier for the teams. They

532
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 14: are played out ahead. But like the AFC North might

533
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 14: play the NFC North and the whoever finishes last the

534
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 14: year before and the AFC Norms will play the last

535
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 14: place team in the NFC North.

536
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 9: So you're both kind of right, but you're both kind

537
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 9: of wrong.

538
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: That's kind of my life there. Thank you Marcus, Thank

539
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: you Ed? And Idaho?

540
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:05,360

Speaker 3: Daho?

00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 9: Thanks? One buck eighty all right?

546
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 16: And uh pooch fifteen inches at the shoulder, forty two

547
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 16: pounds okay. So best and worst for the weekend was

548
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 16: the Cobra dying and the best was then the Bucks

549
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 16: sweeping the Mets. And there's a stat of the day

550
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 16: in there that's the third time the Pirates have swept

551
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 16: a series and won every game by at least seven

552
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 16: runs in the last time since nineteen thirty or the

553
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 16: first time since nineteen thirty five.

554
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: Stat of the day, stat of the day, that best

555
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: stat of the day, stat of the day, it comes

556
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: that what stat.

557
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 3: Of the day?

558
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: Yes Ed was mentioning the Cobra passing away. Dave Parker

559
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: was the Cobra great nickname and what a talented fearsome

560
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 2: like when you saw him at the plate, there was trouble,

561
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: but he got kind of lost in Willie Stargoe and

562
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: Roberto Clemente when you talk about great Pirates of all time.

563
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: Parker was from Cincinnati. I think quarter Tech High School

564
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: was a running back. You imagine him as a running

565
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: high school But when you saw him at the plate,

566
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: when you're six five, two thirty and you come to

567
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: the plate and a great right fielder and great arm,

568
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: one of the more powerful arms in baseball history. But

569
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 2: Dave Parker passing away at the age of seventy four,

570
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 2: and he had been sick for a while. You know,

571
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: when I had gone back to Ohio, I'd heard about

572
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: that he was not doing well and In fact, somebody

573
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: reached out and sent some Dave Parker memorabilia to the program,

574
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: So it was nice, nice to be able to mention

575
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: him and remind him of just how great he was.

576
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin over the weekend after hearing about his passing,

577
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 5: just everybody, YouTube, Google whatever, nineteen seventy nine All Star Game,

578
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 5: Dave Parker. He makes two ridiculous throws, two of the

579
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 5: greatest throws I've ever seen in my life in the

580
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 5: same game in an All Star game.

581
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 7: YouTube met You're welcome.

582
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: You were not running on Parker. It used to be

583
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: where you put your best arm in right field. They

584
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: always had the guy who had a gun, and he

585
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: was in right field, and Parker certainly was that. If

586
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: you're a Stratomatic fan, he probably was a minus five nice,

587
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: which as good as you can get. Thank you, Tom.

588
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: How about we take a.

589
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 7: Break Stratamatic shout at us, sir.

590
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: I loved I loved playing strata Matic. So it's a

591
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: dice game with baseball cards, and it was a lot

592
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: of fun. Played a lot when I was at the Mothership.

593
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: Usually after a sports center, I'd play Stratumatic wind Down

594
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 2: and I'd be like, it was great and I learned

595
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: so much about you know, the baseball players and stats

596
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: and who was who was a gold glove guy, and

597
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 2: who was a guy who was you know, great first

598
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: to third or stealing bases. You know, somebody was not

599
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: a good outfielder, like it told you. It gave you

600
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: all these rankings, and if it's just it was kind

601
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 2: of enlightening of that guy was a whole lot better

602
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: than I thought, or that guy's not as good as

603
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: I thought.

604
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: Yes, Don, And they had those little pink split cards.

605
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 13: So if you try to steal a base, if it

606
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 13: goes from one to twenty, and if a catcher had

607
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 13: a ranking of like one to seventeen, and all of

608
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 13: a sudden, it would be five less, So it'd be

609
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 13: that much harder to steal a base if it was

610
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 13: one of the better catcher's arms.

611
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 7: It's good stuff.

612
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I ran a little too.

613
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you really explain that. Well, Okay, we'll take a break.

614

640
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 10: Yeah?

00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 7: Good? Good?

642
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 18: Oh well, I didn't know about the news with le

643
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 18: Bron taking this play Austin Soil. You guys kind of

644
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 18: said something about it, but I was just wondering if

645
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 18: he cared about winning so much, then why is Ronnie

646
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 18: on the team.

647
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 2: Bronnie is a guy who plays like he was the

648
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: fifty fifth pick in the draft, and it's an extra

649
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 2: roster spot. And this goes along with I don't know

650
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: if you're going to get somebody who might take his place,

651
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: who was going to have that much of an impact

652
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: on the Lakers this year. But I get what you're saying,

653
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: Kurt and Ohio, Hi, Kurt, what's on your mind today?

654
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 10: Good morn d.

655
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 17: Fifty. I was just calling about earlier. Let call a

656
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 17: reference that the NFL, the straight the schedule doesn't mean

657
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 17: too much because it's only two games. Well, two games

658
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 17: is huge in the NFL when you talk about only

659
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 17: seventeen clearly the less fewest amount of any sport. Those

660
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 17: two games completely can mean the difference between a playoff spot,

661
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 17: a wild card, number one speed seed, or even missing

662
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 17: the playoffs completely. And if you look at the listing

663
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 17: of the teams this year, they're strength of schedule, with

664
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 17: the rare exception of like the Giants having the hardest

665
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 17: the most of the best teams in the league that

666
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 17: you would expect to have the hardest schedule because they're

667
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 17: the best teams are in the top ten, and I

668
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 17: just thought that that was you know, very you know,

669
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 17: interesting compared to and like you said, in other sports Baseball, basketball, hockey,

670
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 17: it's harder to turn around as a Blue Jackets span

671
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 17: twenty five years of winning one playoff series. They're not

672
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 17: winning anytime soon. Guardians, Reds doubtful, Brownies, Bengals doubtful as well.

673
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 17: Just wanted to make my two cents on that, Dan,

674
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 17: and I hope you and the guys have a great day.

675
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 3: Thank you. Kurt.

676
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, unless I'm wrong, I always thought that

677
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 2: they the NFL tried to encourage or help or hope

678
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 2: that if you were a last place, that they wanted

679
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 2: everybody to have a chance or at least you went

680
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: into the season thinking, hey, if things go right, or

681
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: we have that team at our place instead of playing

682
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 2: that team on the road, strength to schedule. I was

683
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 2: always under the impression in the NFL that that was

684
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 2: part of the I guess the methods that they would

685
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 2: have in trying to create more parody there getting into

686
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 2: the postseason or at least the chance to be They

687
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 2: love when teams are eight to nine, nine and eight.

688
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 2: They love that because you have a chance. Yes, paulin two.

689
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 4: Those teams you mentioned, the Bengals, Colts, and Dolphins were

690
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 4: all right there. They were all missed the playoffs by

691
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 4: just one game. In the NFC, the Seahawks missed the

692
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 4: playoffs by just one game.

693
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 8: Uh.

694
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 3: Ted in Nevana, Hi, Ted, what's on your mind today?

695
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 10: Hey Dan?

696
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 3: How you doing today?

697
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 7: Great?

698
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 2: Ted?

699
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 7: First time?

700
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 15: First time caller?

701
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 19: Six five five?

702
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: Oh?

703
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 3: The six five is.

704
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 15: My age, not my height. It's my bad anyway. I

705
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 15: just want to add into my Mount Rushmore team quick.

706
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 15: It would be Patrick Ewing, Moses Malone, doctor j Charles Barkley,

707
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 15: and Allen Iverson. You can't just pick superstars. You got

708
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 15: to pick superstars that can play together. And and your

709
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 15: point to the to the football being such a unique

710
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 15: one and done type of thing, anybody can win it.

711
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 15: The Patriots lost three Super Bowls and outplayed every opponent

712
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 15: that they lost to. They also won some Super Bowls

713
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 15: that they didn't play as well as their opponent and

714
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 15: won the game. So football is unique to that.

715
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 3: All right? Thank you? Jed Jonathan in Texas, Hi, Jonathan,

716
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 3: Hey Dan?

717
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 19: Five to eleven and a todbod to twenty five. Okay,

718
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 19: best and worst of the weekend, best of the weekend.

719
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 19: Both of these have to do with last week's show.

720
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 19: I heard somebody use a nickname this weekend, referring to

721
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 19: Stephen A. Smith as screaming a Smith. So that's the

722
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 19: best of the weekend. My worst of the weekend is

723
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 19: I had to go through the entire weekend knowing that

724
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 19: Dan Patrick hates me because my last name is Mayo.

725
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 3: Is that a tough last name to grow up with, Jonathan?

726
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 19: It was as a kid. As an adult, I've kind

727
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 19: of embraced it, and whenever I would play intermural softball,

728
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 19: I was often referred to as the condiment.

729
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 3: Thank you, Jonathan. That'd be a good nickname, the condiment.

730
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 3: Although I'm not big on Mayo.

731
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 2: Obviously, if you were going to be the big condiment,

732
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: like mustard, the big condiment, Yeah, here he comes, the

733
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: big condiment, Yes, Tom.

734
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 13: But the ladies want to hold the Mayo. Could make
