What's going on? Andy? 16 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: Everything is wonderful. And I just mentioned here that I 17 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 2: knew it was coming here. Thank you very much to 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: your live studio warnings with us today. I said this 19 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: you knew was coming. I'm talking about Yukon and I 20 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: finally figured it out. You know, it takes me a 21 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: little longer than others because I'm a little slow, I am. 22 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: I figured out why I'm not happy with this because 23 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: you knew Yukon early on this season. You figured it 24 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: was gonna be Purdue a Yukon, and you know everybody knew. 25 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 2: That's the difference I think between the NFL and college sports, 26 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: because you knew Yukon was the dominant team. You knew 27 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 2: Purdue was a dominant team. I watched the game last 28 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: night and I said, Oh, don't make me stay up 29 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: all this time with this so late on Saturday night. 30 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: I got to get up early Sunday to told to 31 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: Bucky please, you know, open it up and ended early. No, 32 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: they did. They was tied at fifty six with about 33 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 2: ten eleven minutes to go, and then all of a sudden, 34 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: you kind opened it up. Here. Look, dynasties are good 35 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball. Back in the day when the 36 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 2: Yankees dominated, it was great. Well, I've got there was 37 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: a villain. We talk about villains, and everybody wanted to 38 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: knock the Yankees off. When the Celtics were dominant in 39 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: the sixties and seventies, people loved it because they came 40 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: to your town. If you had a team and everybody 41 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: wanted to knock them off in college basketball and college football. 42 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: I don't think it's healthy. When Alabama was the dominating 43 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: it wasn't good. I remember I read stories that the 44 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: students in Tuscaloosa were staying in the libraries on Saturday. 45 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 2: They were bored about that football team. So I don't 46 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: think it's healthy. I don't think it's good, and I'm 47 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: not happy about it. And I'm more excited about watching 48 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 2: the women's game this afternoon. How do you like that, Bucket, Brooks. 49 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: I mean, I liked it a lot. Look, I think 50 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 3: it's a different time. The fact that and because you 51 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 3: brought up the women's game, the fact that, I mean, 52 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: we may have seen the most viewers watch the women's 53 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: game well Yukon versus Iowa, than any other programming that 54 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 3: ESPN has had when it comes to basketball and their history. 55 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: That's amazing to me. It does tell you that we've 56 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: had a little bit of a paradigm shift, not only 57 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: because of like people favoring women's sports or paying attention 58 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: to women's sports. I think the thing about the women 59 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 3: is you have more time to grow attached to the stars. 60 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: And as much as I love college basketball, and as 61 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: I tuned in to watch both of the semi finals games. 62 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: You just don't know these players, you know, right, You 63 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 3: just don't have the star power in terms of like 64 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: just getting to know them. And Zach Ede is a 65 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 3: great player, like Player of the Year, two time Player 66 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: of the Year and those things, but you just don't 67 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: know them, and so there's not that connection that we 68 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: normally have had to the men's tournament in the past. 69 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: And that's why it's just a different game. It's fine, 70 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: it's okay, but it's not what March Mantin has used 71 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 3: to be. When it was Musty TV, everyone tuned in, 72 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 3: everyone to be a part of it, you know. 73 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: And I think there's a difference because you talk about 74 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: having a villain having a team that dominates. Yeah, South 75 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: Carolina dominates. They're undefeated and they're playing Iowa today, and 76 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: in the same token, Yukon dominated and when they beat 77 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: Illinois they had that thirty nothing run. But there's a 78 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: difference as far as domination. I just you can't compare 79 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: them with Yukon. You just knew they were going to 80 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: win South Carolina, you know. Still they've had some rough spots. 81 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: They're undefeated for sure, and it's I don't think it's 82 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: a given that they're gonna be the with today. I 83 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: just don't think they will. 84 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I don't think it's a given, but 85 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: it shouldn't be a given. And we'll talk about the 86 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 3: Yukon men because that was a struggle and I'm not 87 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: one hundred percent convinced they're just gonna walk over Perdue. 88 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 3: I would say this about the South Carolina women. The 89 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: South Carolina Women graduated five or six ladies who went 90 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: on to go and play in the WNBA from a 91 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: super team, they took on a harder schedule, and yet 92 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: here they are with a bunch of newcomers and they're 93 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: right back in the championship game with an unbeaten record. 94 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 3: I think what don Staley has done is she has 95 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: raised the bar. She set the bar so high for 96 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 3: herself and her program that it's hard for us to 97 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: give her her just too. And it's not as dominant 98 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: as it's been in the past. But the fact that 99 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 3: they're sitting right here in the championship game, number one 100 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 3: seed and they're undefeated, I do believe they do deserve 101 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: a lot of credit. No matter what it looks like. 102 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: That is something that's certainly hard to accomplish. 103 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 2: Right, and I'm looking at this Alabama, I'm impressed. I 104 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: tell you, I was impressed with Alabama. I didn't eve 105 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: think they'd stay that close. As I mentioned, it was 106 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 2: like fifty six at all, with about maybe ten eleven 107 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: minutes to go back on the ball game, and then 108 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: Yukon came out there with their eight nothing run and 109 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: it was goodbye, good night, Irene. That was it. But 110 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: I think when you look what they did, they shot 111 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 2: a level for twenty three threes forty seven percent, you know, 112 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: and that's what Alabama does. That's the Alabama's game is 113 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: jacking it up. They're throwing threes all day long. So 114 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: I mean, I think they shot something like what twenty 115 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: five threes, and they shot forty percent from the three 116 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: point line, So you know, it's just a different game. 117 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 2: Now when the women shoot threes, I think it's different. 118 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: But I think that there's more of a game below 119 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: the rim with the women than the men who play 120 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: above the rim. And look, I enjoy both, there's no 121 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 2: doubt about that. But I think that this Yukon game 122 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: last night, it just the eighty six seventy two score, 123 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: it was just you knew Yukon was going to win, 124 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: You just didn't know when they were going to win 125 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: and when they were going to bust it open. And 126 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: their coach Dan Hurley, I was talking about the similarities 127 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: and the differences with last year's team and this year's team. 128 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at coach Hurley and listen to him. No, 129 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: he's not there. Okay, I thought we got to call 130 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 2: it Dan Hurley there, but he's not. But look, you 131 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: talk about Alabama. I think it's great what they've done. Uh, 132 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 2: take a lot of three pointers and that's I guess 133 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: NATO's is uh uh a m O take a lot 134 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: of three point shots and avoid those mid range shots, 135 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: and that that's what they did. I was looking for. 136 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to seeing, uh, you know, Alabama play 137 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: and what they've done. But Dan Hurley tells me now 138 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: he's ready. He was in the men's room. All right, coach, 139 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:32,559 Speaker 2: go ahead. 140 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, it's your second straight national championship. I'm wondering 141 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 4: what similarities and differences you see between this year's team 142 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 4: and last year's team. 143 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 5: Just at that same you know, relentless, relentless, you know, 144 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 5: effort and just a meticulous approach to you know, to 145 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 5: to performance and winning and game planning with Luken kame 146 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 5: on to the best in the country what they do. 147 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 3: In every facet. 148 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 5: So I think, you know, like Jordan's different player than Cam, 149 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 5: and Steph's a different player than Andre Jackson, and the 150 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 5: bench is a little bit different. But you know, the culture, 151 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 5: the preparation, the commitment to every aspect of the game 152 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 5: so that we keep ourselves as bulletproof as possible in 153 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 5: this tournament, which is hard. We make a hard tournament 154 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 5: look easy. 155 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 6: It's crazy, you know. 156 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: I honestly, you just look at the box scoring, you 157 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: could tell they won. You know, they have a balance 158 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 2: scoring that that they have five guys in double figures, 159 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: and you look at that on a college roster, that's 160 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: almost a rarity. You don't usually see a college box 161 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: score with five guys in double figures. With Cam Spencer, 162 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: they're so called star only with fourteen points. Cleingland had 163 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: eighteen and Castle twenty one and Newton at twelve. So 164 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: I mean, these guys have balance scoring, they have depth, 165 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: and these guys could beat you in any mann of 166 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: shape or form. Actually did defensively. I thought they'd be 167 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: a little better than they wore. But this Alabama he 168 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: could shoot the basketball. But again, I think you know, 169 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 2: I knew and everybody else knew, and if you had 170 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 2: a bracket, you knew that Connecticut would be in the 171 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 2: Final four and maybe even in the championship game. And 172 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: now they're in the championship game. 173 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, Dan Hurley's done a really good job 174 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: with the team. He is kind of cracked the code 175 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 3: when it came to recruiting and digging into portal, taking 176 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: on older guys, having guys that really want to buy 177 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 3: into what the Yukon brand is. And he's found a 178 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: way to take the talent, to develop the talent, put 179 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 3: the right taxes around it, and get the culture right. 180 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 3: And this is a result of him really digging into it. 181 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 3: I appreciate the fact that he shouted out the coaches 182 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: that are his assistant coaches who've also done a really 183 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 3: good job. And you know, he's a little unique because 184 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: his arrogance and cockiness doesn't really impact us. Most guys 185 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 3: that carry themselves the way that Dan Hurley care themselves, 186 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: we would be all on. But it's worked for him 187 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 3: because the team is so loaded. But he certainly has 188 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: a swag about him that is a little outward and 189 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 3: in your face, but it matches the brand, it matches 190 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: the area, that New England area, and kind of how 191 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 3: they get down when the Patriots were rolling under Bill 192 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: Belichick and Tom Brady. And it works, and we'll see 193 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: if they can kind of pull it off, because right now, 194 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 3: the assumption is that they're just gonna roll out the 195 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 3: balls on Monday and roll through Purdue. But I saw 196 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 3: a team in Purdue that is gritty, that has some 197 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 3: big people that unafraid to deal with some of the 198 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 3: better teams in the tournament. And we'll get a chance 199 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 3: to see what I expect to be a really good 200 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 3: matchup on Monday. Yeah. 201 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: And it's funny because at the beginning of the ball again, 202 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: Dan Clinton, the been guy who had scored eighteen points 203 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: at four blocks. I think it was the first shot 204 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 2: of the game Alabama took. He blocked that shot. I said, oh, 205 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: here we go again. I think I'd be going to 206 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: bed early last night because I thought Connecticut would roll 207 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: it over and they'd be up by double digits easily 208 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: by halftime. But it was close. It was tight, and 209 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: look the fans point of view, it was pretty exciting 210 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: for TV executives. They loved it because people didn't click 211 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 2: it off. But I think I knew and everybody else 212 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 2: knew that eventually Connecticut is going to pull away. And 213 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: look again, you live and die with the three, nte oats, 214 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 2: you live and die with the three, and you died 215 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 2: with the three. I get it. You made the Final 216 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: four with that offense, okay, but you died with the 217 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: three last night. Just just the way it goes. You know, 218 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: you rely on it, but sometimes it just falters, and 219 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: it faulted last night and you fell. And I think 220 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: Delus did a better team. I think Connecticut is a 221 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: better team than Alabama. 222 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 3: Look, I'll say Connecticut definitely is a better team. But 223 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: the style that NATO's employs us one that is challenging 224 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 3: for opponents. They shoot the three, or they shoot layups. 225 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: He is taking the analytics community by storm because he 226 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: is big on the analytics. And they italy shoot shots 227 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 3: at the rim or they shoot threes. They tried to 228 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 3: avoid the mid range because the odds and the percentages 229 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 3: aren't in their favor and it's really worked out for him, 230 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 3: and it didn't work out last night. But if you 231 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 3: look at the teams they've beaten along the way. I 232 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 3: don't know how you can fought NATO's for a style 233 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: or fought the way that he has decided to build 234 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: the program utilizing an offense that puts a lot of 235 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: pressure on you because if if they're hitting, if they 236 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 3: get into a role and they knock down a handful 237 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 3: of threes in succession, it changed the way that you 238 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 3: have to defend them. It changed the way that you 239 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 3: have to play, not only on defense, but also on 240 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 3: the offensive end. 241 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 2: There you go, and I'm glad you brought up the three, Okay, 242 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why, because I want to talk 243 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: a little bit about this Purdue win over NC State 244 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 2: last night. I think a lot of people were rooting 245 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 2: for NC State. Why they were the so called Cinderella. 246 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: They had won five straight playoff games, you know, tournament games, 247 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: and they're coming down the stretch. No one expected them 248 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 2: to be there. Sixty three to fifty was the final, 249 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 2: But obviously Purdue won the game, not so much with 250 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 2: Zach Edy the big man in the middle, but the 251 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: boiler Makers at Purdue had ten three pointers. They started 252 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 2: like forty percent from the three line, and they held 253 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 2: NC State shooting to like twenty eight twenty nine percent, 254 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: and they did have Purdue had sixteen turnovers, which is 255 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: the most in the tournament. So you know, Purdue got 256 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: it done. And Zach Edi, look, you're not going to 257 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 2: stop him at twenty points and twelve boards, this guy 258 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 2: probably should have twenty and twelve or maybe even more 259 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 2: on a nightly basis. You got to stop the guy. 260 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 2: And I thought NC State did a decent job holding him, 261 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: because this guy could go for forty as he did 262 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: prior prior to the game before that, So I think 263 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 2: they did a decent job holding him, but they just 264 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: couldn't get the shots off and the defense and Purdue 265 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 2: was outstanding and they're outside shooting was tremendous with ten 266 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: three points, and so again Purdue won that game, and 267 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: I wasn't surprised. I don't think anybody was really surprised 268 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 2: that Purdue went on in they advance. 269 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think the big thing was they 270 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: cracked the code when it came to dealing with DJ 271 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: Burns on the inside. DJ Burns have been wearing people 272 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 3: out from NC State. NC State had been running their 273 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: offense through the big Man, the big man would go 274 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 3: iso on the blocks and then depending on how the 275 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: defense reacts, where they doubled down, where they single them up, 276 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 3: he would make the decision. And it had been very effective. 277 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: Purdues the first team that had the size and the 278 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: physical Caldy the musculum. They made it difficult for Burns 279 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 3: to hit shots. He was missing the bunnies that he'd 280 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 3: been making throughout the tournament. Some of that was because 281 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 3: of the length, Some of that was because they could 282 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 3: also put zach Edy in a position where he could 283 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 3: help out and make him shoot over high hands. That 284 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 3: was advantageous. They are one of the teams that could 285 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: do it. Many teams didn't have the size nor the 286 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 3: strength of physicality to be able to deal with them. 287 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,599 Speaker 3: They did a really good job and they made n 288 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 3: C State play their style. It was a half court game. 289 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 3: It was a slow down game, and even though they 290 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: hit I think you said ten or eleven threes, the 291 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: game still was in the half court. They didn't allow 292 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 3: NC State to get runouts. They never allowed them to 293 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: get the momentum of a runout three or fast break points, 294 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 3: and it allowed them to control the game and to 295 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 3: dictate the terms. They would need to put off a 296 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 3: similar plan and a similar effort to be able to 297 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: knock off you econ on Monday. 298 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 2: No doubt about that. And I will tell you this much. 299 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: I think you'll agree. I think holding Zach Edy to 300 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: twenty and twelve last night is somewhat of a win 301 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 2: Fantacy State. But the wolf Pack of emphy State didn't 302 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: follow up. They couldn't score enough points. That was a 303 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: deal right there. And I tell you what, I credit 304 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: the NC State wolf Pack. And I know it's hurts 305 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 2: you to say this, but it's true. They were just 306 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: a six to eleven seed team to reach the Final four, 307 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: which is something tremendous as a great season. It really 308 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: was a great season of Fancy State. Know what expected 309 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 2: them to be there. They expected your school to be there. 310 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: That was a disappointment. North Carolina wasn't there, but NC 311 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: State was there. They got hot at the right time. 312 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: That's why it is. 313 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: I mean they did. In college basketball. That is funny 314 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 3: because you had a lot of teams at the top. 315 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: If anyone that followed college basketball all year, you know, 316 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 3: Houston had been one of the top teams. Houston had 317 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: kind of dominated throughout the year, but not parody is 318 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 3: such in basketball that you can't rubber stamp anybody into 319 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: the final four, let alone the championship game didn't work 320 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 3: out for Vitario. It's just like it didn't work out 321 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 3: for Houston and some of the other teams they were 322 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 3: vying for it. But we will get a great matchup on. 323 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: Monday, right And I'll say this, Zach Eediot's seven to four. 324 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: He doesn't dominate like he should dominate. I mean, what 325 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 2: do you mean, Because if I had a seven and 326 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: four guy on my team, you know the guy will 327 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: be unstoppable. He's I think he comes to play when 328 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: he wants to play. Maybe he's not motivated enough. I 329 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: don't see the killer instinct when I watch him play. 330 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 7: Now. 331 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: He's coming along now in the tournament, but during the 332 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: regular season, I have not seen what I saw him 333 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: play against Wisconsin. He was just you didn't even know 334 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: he was seven to four. A guy at seven four 335 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 2: should dominate, at least on the college level, maybe not 336 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: in the NBA. You got to dominate that game, and 337 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 2: he wasn't dominating to me. I'll take DJ from North 338 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: Carolina State, who to me has the attitude like he 339 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,239 Speaker 2: plays like he's seven to four. I like his attitude 340 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: and as I say, to hold Eady to twenty and twelve, 341 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: that's a win for NC State. 342 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 3: It is a win for NC State. But somehow two 343 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 3: time National Player of the Year, and so I don't 344 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 3: know what you wanted him to do. I don't know 345 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 3: what kind of numbers. If you think he's real Chamberlin, 346 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: he should be putting up one hundred a night. But 347 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 3: what he does is he's an unselfish player. When they 348 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 3: double team here, he kicks the ball out and he 349 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 3: trusts his teammates. He doesn't go for self and those things. 350 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 3: And then, in direct comparison to DJ Burns, we saw 351 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 3: Burne's limitations when they finally had someone who can match 352 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: him size, strength and length. He had a tough time. 353 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 3: They made him work, and he couldn't get the shots 354 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 3: that he'd been killing people with throughout the tournament. Those 355 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: weren't falling on Saturday night. And I just think there's 356 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: a drastic difference between the two. You talking about one 357 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 3: who is a two time Player of the Year and 358 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 3: who will be a draft pick and who should have 359 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 3: a level of ses. Don't expect me be a dominant 360 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 3: player in the NBA. But look his size, his length, 361 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 3: his skills. Certainly you have to be impressed. 362 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 2: With all Right, I'm with you, hear you, I hear 363 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: noe doubt about that.

So I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about a 404 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 2: person involved in politics, but I'm not talking politics, and look, 405 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: I respect the office that this person is in. I'm 406 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 2: not so much I respect the person after what she 407 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 2: had said. I'm talking about our vice president, Kamala Harris. 408 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 2: She said something the other day. Look, you gotta stay 409 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 2: in your lane. If you don't know what you're talking about. 410 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: And I'm talking about sports though, don't say it. Don't 411 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 2: say things you're not sure of. And she wasn't sure 412 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 2: about this what I'm talking about. You was talking about 413 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: the NCAA women's basketball brackets. Can we hear from our 414 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 2: vice president? Please go ahead, Kamala. 415 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 9: Do you know, okay, a bit of a history lesson. 416 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 9: Do you know that women were not the women's teams 417 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 9: were not allowed to have brackets until twenty twenty two? 418 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: Think about that and what that talk about? Progress? 419 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 9: You know, better late than ever, but progress and what 420 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 9: that has done because of course, when you know I 421 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 9: had a bracket, it's not broken completely. 422 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 3: But I won't talk about my bracket. 423 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 9: But you know what, just how we love we love 424 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,959 Speaker 9: March madness and even just now allowing the women to 425 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 9: have brackets, and what that does to encourage people to 426 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 9: talk more about the women's teams, to watch them now 427 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 9: they're being covered, you know, And this is the reality. 428 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 9: People used to say, Oh, women's sports, who's interested. Well, 429 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 9: if you can't see it, you won't. But when you 430 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 9: see it, you realize, oh, what. 431 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: Are you talking about? Really? The women's basketball tournaments thought 432 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: it back in nineteen eighty two you were allowed to 433 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 2: have practices. No, we're not in the suffrage period. I 434 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: don't know where she's getting this information from. Look, she 435 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 2: has people handlers around her. Before you go public with 436 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: any remark, at least check it with somebody. But did 437 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 2: you hear that remark? She said that just the other 438 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 2: day about the women's tournament. It's true to women's tournament's 439 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 2: got visibility. It's great, it's been upgraded. People are interested 440 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 2: in it, but not allowed to have brackets. Where is 441 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: that coming from? 442 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 3: Really, I don't know where it's coming from, but I 443 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 3: think where she's alluded to the fact that the national 444 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 3: attention around the women's game has only happened of recent 445 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 3: It is the first time and a long time that 446 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 3: we have seen like bracketology popularized the women's game over 447 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 3: the last two years, but particularly this year with the 448 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 3: women and a lot of it has to do with 449 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 3: Kaitlin Clark and the stars that are playing in the tournament, 450 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 3: whether it's Yukon, where it's South Carolina. We talked about 451 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 3: Iowa and some of the others, and she's probably just 452 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 3: talking about the spotlight because for the first time ever, 453 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 3: we are showing the women's final four showing march madness 454 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 3: on the women's side, the same kind of love that 455 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 3: we're showing the men. That hasn't always been the case. 456 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 3: So I'm assuming that is what she's kind of pointing to. 457 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,239 Speaker 2: Let's assume that I assume that with you. Okay, now, 458 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: they talk about the game, the Yukon Iowa game on Friday, 459 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 2: the last second cold with three point nine seconds, I 460 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: got a little statement to make and see if you agree. 461 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 2: I got to say that, and it was the offensive foul, 462 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 2: and I wasn't offensive foul here. A foul is a foul. 463 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 2: The first minute of the last minut of the game 464 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: is still a foul. And I disagree with the four 465 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 2: Letter network, these idiots behind the microphone and the four 466 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: letter network. We're complaining about the offensive foul that helped 467 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 2: decide the women's semi final in favor of Iowa against Yukon. Look, 468 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: and they're saying on TV that players should decide the game. 469 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: It sounds right, but it's misleading. It's not true. Players 470 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 2: off on the side games with crucial fouls. Well, as 471 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: you know in football, by committing penalties. That's how games 472 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 2: have decided. If the refs swallow their whistles in the 473 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 2: lake going, it means the rules don't matter. That's what 474 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 2: it's all about. And all of a sudden, now Gabby Marshall, 475 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 2: who was involved with that offensive foul call on Iowa 476 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 2: the defensive Little Guard. She said that she had to 477 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 2: delete her social media because of the hate comments she 478 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 2: received following that offensive foul call that she drew against 479 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 2: Yukon that they say health determined the outcome of the game, 480 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: which was bull but it's even worse that she had 481 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 2: hate comments. She had a great quote, she says, I 482 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: don't know. I'm not the one that made the call, 483 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 2: so I'm not sure why they made it me. I 484 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: love it. Gabby, what a comeback. She didn't make the call, 485 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 2: Why you made it her? This whole thing is out 486 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 2: of control, it really is. 487 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if it's out of control. And 488 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 3: speaking to the Yukon Iowa think. I think the frustration 489 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 3: that some would have is everyone just wants a love 490 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 3: of consistency from the referees, and so if you're going 491 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 3: to allow some of those screens to take place early, 492 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 3: but then you call them late, it leaves everyone confused. 493 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 3: But if you're tight on those calls and you called 494 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 3: them from the beginning of game to the end, no 495 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 3: one says anything. It is the inconsistency that I think 496 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 3: people have issue with. And as it relates to the 497 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 3: comment about like players deciding games, that call ultimately ended 498 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 3: Yukon's opportunity to win or lose, and so whether we 499 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 3: like to call or not, I think what you get 500 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 3: from the people is an outcry of I would rather 501 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 3: see pay bukers either make the shot or miss the 502 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 3: shot without a file being called or anything like that. 503 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 3: But to call a screen and an illegal screen at 504 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 3: that moment with three seconds left, that was the frustration. 505 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 3: I think everyone would rather see the Hollywood story painted, 506 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 3: whether either she made it or she missed it, not 507 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 3: that there was a whistle that interrupted player. Real look 508 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: a foul as a foul as a foul. I think 509 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 3: the consistency with which it's called that it is more 510 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 3: the issue than anything else. And as it relates to 511 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 3: like Gabby Marshall and you know, like the hate that 512 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: she received via social media, it's no different than the 513 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 3: hate that Angel Rees and some others have received on 514 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 3: social media. Like social media is accessful for people to 515 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 3: have strong opinions without having to confront the people face 516 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 3: to face, and it's unfortunate that everyone has to deal 517 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 3: with that, but that's just the new reality that we 518 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 3: live in. If you're a public figure, you're going to 519 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 3: have to deal with the scrutiny that comes along with it, 520 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 3: fair or not, that's part of it. I credit her 521 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 3: for being able to delete it and take it down 522 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 3: to preserve her own mental health. But everybody deals with 523 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 3: that stuff. Kaitlin Clark deals with it a Reese don Staley, 524 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 3: like everyone is dealing with all of that stuff, and 525 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 3: it's just kind of the way the world now. 526 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: Social media to me is beer muscles. Guys going through 527 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: bars and start drinking. All of a sudden, they get 528 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: real tough and they get cockied. It's beer muscles, That's 529 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: what it is. And you hide behind it. That's exactly 530 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 2: what it is. And credit Gabby Marshall's you say for 531 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: deleting it, but if you play the game, if you're 532 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 2: a public figure, you got to suck it up. That's 533 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 2: part of the deal. It's part of the gig. Really. 534 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: I'm sure that when you played, they didn't have heavy 535 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 2: duty I'm trying to not make you old here, but 536 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 2: there wasn't heavy duty social media. 537 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 3: So there's no social media. Social media. Social media was 538 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 3: long well after I was done. But I will say this, 539 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 3: it's not only social media that's impacting. It's the betting. 540 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 3: When you're intertwining gambling with sports, you have those who 541 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 3: have vested interest in who wins and who loses. The 542 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 3: performance and stuff matters. College kids are now subject to 543 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 3: more than just their fan bases pulling for them or 544 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 3: pulling or rooting against them and those things. It is 545 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 3: the gambling public that is also involved, and how you 546 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 3: perform and what you do has a direct impact on 547 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 3: the bottom line. You're getting more of that stuff come in, 548 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 3: just like you used to, like four or five years ago, 549 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 3: with fantasy football. So players more than ever, are being 550 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 3: targeted by people who aren't necessarily out for their will 551 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 3: being as like lo, we support IOWA or this is 552 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 3: our favorite team. It's more so about the other stuff 553 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 3: that goes along with the games, the friends stuff, and 554 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 3: I think gambling has a big part of that as well. 555 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 2: It's funny you mentioned that because Kaitlin Clark, who scored 556 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 2: twenty seven points in that Yukon game, she was getting 557 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 2: some heat because the over and under for her point 558 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: total that night was thirty, so she was getting heat. 559 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. Really, you can't win. And we talked about 560 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 2: this last week that the coach of the bigger staff, 561 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 2: the coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was getting threats 562 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 2: because of what he's done with his team. Maybe over 563 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 2: and under or not winning by enough points. Who knows 564 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 2: what it is, but gambling could be like money, the 565 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 2: root of all evil could very well be. But you know, 566 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 2: leagues are not going to stop it because it's a 567 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,239 Speaker 2: great revenue stream. That's what it's all about. It really is. 568 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 2: By the way, he is Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman 569 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: and by the way, here coming up next on Fox 570 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 2: Life from the Tyrack dot com studios. Her threat was false. 571 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 2: But first, Kevin Wyatt with all your sports. 572 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 10: Yeah, NCUBA Basketball Action Saturday, the final four, as we 573 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 10: saw two teams get themselves into the national championship game, 574 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 10: the first, top seeded Yukon. They go for the second 575 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 10: straight year to play for a national championship after they 576 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 10: roll against Alabama eighty six to seventy two. Now they 577 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 10: were tied with twelve minutes left before the Huskies really 578 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 10: stepped on the gas pedal, and they won this game 579 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 10: by double digits. They have won every game in this 580 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 10: tournament by at least ten points. Purdue wins the semifinal 581 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 10: over NC State sixty three to fifty behind twenty points 582 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 10: and twelve rebounds from Zach Edy. The boiler Makers in 583 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 10: the final, just a year removed from being upset as 584 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 10: a number one seed by a sixteen seed in Farley Dickinson. 585 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 10: Today Sunday is the women's final South Carolina and Iowa's 586 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 10: the game, Cocks looking to cap an undefeated season and 587 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 10: Caitlin Clark looking to cement her legacy as well of 588 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 10: the greatest basketball players of all time. Iowa semifinal victory 589 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 10: against Yu Kaina the most watched women's basketball game ever. 590 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 10: Fourteen point two million viewers tune into that game on ESPN. 591 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 10: NBA regular season just a week away from concluding and 592 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 10: the Los Angeles Lakers trying to play the way into 593 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 10: the top half of the play in tournament, and they've 594 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 10: won nine of the last ten. After beating the Cleveland 595 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 10: Cavaliers won sixteen ninety seven, Nets found themselves in a 596 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 10: hole fifteen points against Detroit with just seven and a 597 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 10: half minutes to go, but they beat the Pistons won 598 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 10: thirteen to one oh three sixers over the Grizzlies won 599 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 10: sixteen ninety six, dol MB with thirty points as he's 600 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 10: really given Philadelphia a boost since he returned to the lineup, 601 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 10: and the Nuggets beat up Atlanta one forty two to one. 602 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: Ten. 603 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 10: The NHL regular season ends on April eighteenth, eleven days 604 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 10: from now. Boston Bruins winners in overtime against the Florida 605 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 10: Panthers three too, the Islanders over Nashville to nothing, and 606 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 10: the Jets beat the y all of four to two. 607 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: Back to you guys, thank you Kessey. About an hour now, 608 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 2: just call her Barbie Knight. We'll tell you why and 609 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 2: who in just about a minute now. We've got Iowa 610 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 2: playing today Connecticut to say, after doing three o'clock easton 611 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: for the national women's title and now Caitlin Clark is 612 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 2: in center stage, and yesterday at the practice in Cleveland, 613 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 2: she said it's a fair assessment by some people that 614 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 2: if she doesn't win the national title to secure a legacy, 615 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: she won't be the goat. And she said she doesn't 616 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,719 Speaker 2: think it's fair, and I don't think it's fair that 617 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: only one game that would late lean on the national 618 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 2: title will say she's the goat or she's not the goat. 619 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 2: And look, I don't even know if she is to 620 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 2: go she's the scoring champ, but there have been players 621 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: I believe that were better women players in the game 622 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 2: of college basketball than her. But she has put that 623 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 2: team on her back going to the finals for two 624 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: years in a row, and should she win the championship today, 625 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 2: she may very well be considered the goat. To me, 626 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 2: I couldn't care less. I don't care if she's the 627 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: goal or not the goal. But this is the question 628 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 2: being asked, and I got to ask you, is it fair. 629 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 2: I don't think it's fair. 630 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, it's fair. I mean, we 631 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 3: do this. We do this with Lebron James, we did 632 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 3: it with Kobe, we did it with Michael Jordan, like, 633 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 3: this is what we do. When you're one of the 634 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 3: elite players. We hold you to a standard where you 635 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 3: not only have to be great at what you do individually, 636 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 3: but you have to lift your team to unprecedented heights. 637 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 3: The conversation that we had about Lebron, you know, Lebron 638 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 3: took bad Cavaliers teams to the finals, but the expectation 639 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: was he had to win. If we didn't, we talked about, oh, 640 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 3: he didn't have the clutch Jeene, or he didn't have this, 641 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 3: or he didn't have that. That's part of the territory. 642 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 3: When you're Kaitlyn Clark, you're Caitlyn Clark. If you want 643 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 3: to be one of the greatest, you want to be. 644 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 3: In that conversation, you have to win titles. Because that's 645 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 3: how we decided. The reason Tom Brady is considered the 646 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 3: greatest of all time at the position because he has 647 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 3: seven rings Joe Montana has four. You know, winning is 648 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 3: a big part of it and Moreno cannot enter the 649 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 3: discussion because he didn't win enough. And we could talk about, oh, 650 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 3: it's the individual game in the team game, but we 651 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 3: know the only thing that we really care about did 652 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 3: you win or did you lose? Did you win the ring? 653 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 3: And so for Kaitlin Clark, she has to understand that 654 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 3: she has to know that to who much he's given, 655 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 3: much is required. So she has to respond if she 656 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 3: wants to be in that conversation, she has to win it. 657 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 3: So it must win for her against South Carolina. 658 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: You know what, you make a great point. You make 659 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 2: a great argument that you probably should have been an attorney. 660 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why I say that, because I'm 661 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 2: going back in time right now, history of the NBA. 662 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: And you look at Bill Russell, who's one of eleven 663 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 2: titles with the Boston Celtics. But I always thought that 664 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: Will Chamberlain was a dominating player, more dominating than Bill Russell, 665 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 2: but he just never won. He never won. That was 666 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 2: the probably one to do it with the seventies six 667 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 2: ers back I think in sixty seven. But other than that, 668 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 2: the stats were astronomical. One year he averaged fifty points 669 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 2: of games. Look it up. Tell people to look it up. 670 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 2: They probably even know who I'm talking about, Will Chamberlain. 671 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 2: But I always thought that Will Chamblain never got the respect. 672 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: And when it's one of the greatest players ever, and 673 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,239 Speaker 2: they talk about Mount Rushmore, they never put his name, 674 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 2: I'm Mount Rushmore. Why, I don't know. Maybe because she 675 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: had won championships. So you make a great point. And 676 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 2: Don Staley, the coach of South Carolina, she said she 677 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 2: was a great play when she played at Virginia, but 678 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 2: she never won a championship and that's why she said 679 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 2: that she would never be considered a goat. So maybe 680 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 2: you're onto something yet. But I don't think it's fair. 681 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 2: I just don't think it's fair. 682 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 3: But life isn't fair. This is what we do, Andy, 683 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 3: this is what we signed up for when we step 684 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 3: behind the mike, to make comparisons, to compare and contrast. 685 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 3: And rings are part of the debate culture. And so 686 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 3: if we're going to debate who's the best, who's the 687 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 3: greatest to ever do it? Yeah, she can't enter that 688 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 3: discussion until she wins the ring. And even if she 689 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 3: wins one, she only has one. Breonna Stewart won four 690 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 3: was a part of dominant teams that you kind you think. 691 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: Briand is a better player than Caitlin though, do you different? 692 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 3: But she's a dominant player, one of the best that 693 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 3: we've seen. She's a dominant player that we've seen. And 694 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 3: the thing I think what happens is we have a 695 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 3: bit of a recency bias, and I also believe that 696 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 3: we have fallen in love with the mythology of Caitlyn Clark. 697 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 3: She is one of the best players that I've seen. 698 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 3: And this is going back last year because I'm a 699 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 3: huge women's basketball follower. A lot of my friends are 700 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 3: coaches at some level some capacity in a women's basketball 701 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 3: game at the collegiate level, so I've always followed it. 702 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 3: She is something that I haven't seen, very similar to 703 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 3: Steph Curry shooting threes from deep. But the game goes 704 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 3: back more than just two years. I mean, there have 705 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 3: been a lot of women that have come through that 706 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 3: have been dominant player. Cheryl Miller was a dominant player. 707 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 3: Cheryl Swoops was a dominant player. She meet a holz 708 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 3: Claw from Tennessee kandas Parker. So when we talk about 709 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark is the greatest, like, we are putting her 710 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 3: over a lot of ladies who have dominated the game 711 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 3: at a high level, and so if she's going to 712 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 3: separate herself from some of those, she has to have 713 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 3: rings And normally what we do is those with more 714 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 3: rings have a bigger say in a bigger impact when 715 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 3: it comes to the greatest. But if she wins today, 716 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 3: she wins against you got she certainly can enter the 717 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 3: discussion as to go, but she can't entit there if 718 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 3: she's ringless. 719 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 2: You know what, Bucky, you sold me on that, because 720 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 2: you know why no one remembers who finishes second in 721 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 2: the Kentucky Derby. You're right, they lose today, It's like goodbye, 722 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 2: that's the end of it. So you're right. You know, 723 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,959 Speaker 2: I did mention that one quick thing over here about 724 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 2: coming into this segment, Barbie Knight. I mentioned Barbi Barbie Knight. 725 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 2: We're talking about Kim Maulty, the coach of LSU who 726 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 2: wears those clown outfits on the bench. Really and she 727 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 2: was all crazy and she says she was gonna sue 728 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 2: the Washington Post but putting on her in a bad light. Hey, Kim, 729 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 2: you know what putting you in a bad light? Who 730 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 2: the hell do you think the Washington Post is running about? 731 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 2: They're writing about you and the one thing I don't 732 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,959 Speaker 2: like about her, Yeah, she may be a very good coach, 733 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 2: but a lot of players are leaving right now, the 734 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 2: way she said. They say that she abuses them verbally. 735 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 2: I don't know. I never played for her, I never 736 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 2: met her, But I do know one thing. I followed 737 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 2: her results, all right, and some of the scores in 738 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 2: some of the seasons, and I got them written down 739 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,959 Speaker 2: over here. She beat New Hampshire ninety seven to twenty nine. 740 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 2: She'd beat Grambling one twenty forty six, Houston Baptist. I 741 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 2: don't even know why she's playing them one twelve forty two, 742 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 2: Lamar ninety twenty eight, Arkansas State one eleven forty three. 743 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 2: So anybody who does that is just, you know, you 744 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 2: don't belong in coaching. That just just poor sportsmanship. And 745 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 2: I know, maybe maybe it's I don't get it. I 746 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 2: just you've coached, well. You just can't run up scores 747 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,919 Speaker 2: like that and do that by humiliating your opponents. Can't 748 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 2: do it. And that's why I'm not a fan of hers. 749 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 2: And the Washington Post thing was ridiculous, it was crazy, So. 750 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 3: I leave it that. I mean, look, she's she's definitely 751 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 3: an acquired case when it comes to supporting her and 752 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 3: that other stuff. And I can't say that I'm in 753 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 3: love with all the things that she's done, But I 754 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 3: can't recognize and appreciate how well she has done her 755 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 3: job in terms of coaching and elevating the program she's 756 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 3: been associated with. Did a Mark look an outstanding job 757 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 3: at She's done a terrific job at LSU quickly to 758 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 3: kind of re establish LSU as a perennial power. But 759 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 3: I mean, in those games, I think what's hard and 760 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 3: you talk about the scores? What is she supposed to 761 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 3: tell the backups? Okay, so you have if you have 762 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 3: twelve thirteen players on the team and players nine, ten, eleven, 763 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 3: and twelve don't play off and they finally get their opportunity, 764 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 3: are you to tell them to just dribble out the 765 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 3: shot clock every time? Don't run it up? At some point, 766 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 3: I mean, the game is the game, and as long 767 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 3: as it's not what I would call egregious, you're not 768 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 3: calling time out, you're not doing things that kind of 769 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 3: are extra. 770 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 11: No. 771 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 3: I believe her players should play hard, they should be 772 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 3: encouraged to go after because that's what she's telling the 773 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 3: rest of the team each and every day in practice. 774 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 2: There you go, she's a bully. I don't care, but 775 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 2: she's a bully. He's Bucky Brookley's not a bully. I'm 776 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 2: Andy Furman. Hey, he's know it all, not to know 777 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 2: it all. He's the know all as Bucky. 778 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. 779 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,240 Speaker 2: It's Bucky coming right around the bend. That's Bucky Brooks. 780 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,399 Speaker 2: I'm Andy Furman. This is Fox Sports Sunday and Fox 781 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 2: Sports Radio. And of course we're alive from the Ti 782 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 2: rock dot Com studio. What are we waiting for? Let's 783 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 2: do it ask Bucky right now here we go. All right, 784 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 2: first question, Basketball and football are great wagering sports. We 785 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,439 Speaker 2: know that. Could that be Bucky Brooks? Why their TV 786 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 2: ratings are better than baseball, hockey, and soccer because they're 787 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 2: great wagering sports. 788 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's a part of it. I think 789 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 3: watchability is everything following the game. There's more action in 790 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 3: basketball than in those sports that you mentioned. I think 791 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 3: it's easy for the casual fan to pick up and 792 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 3: get excited about what they see on the screen. 793 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 2: There you go. Okay, your thoughts on the transfer portal 794 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 2: which is in high gear right now? Would you change it? 795 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 2: Would you stop it? 796 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 3: I would definitely change it. I would change because I 797 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 3: worry about so many people changing schools and leaving at 798 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 3: the end of four or five years without a degree, 799 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 3: without anything close to an academic record that will help them. 800 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 3: The overwhelming majority of people that are playing college sports 801 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 3: won't play pros, so I'm more so worried about what 802 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 3: they're doing to damage their future earning power in terms 803 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 3: of being civilian. It's not just pro athletes, but I 804 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 3: do think that there needs to be a little more 805 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 3: regulation when it comes to transfer portal. I just think 806 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 3: it's crazy, and even though coaches have those leeways, I 807 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 3: just think it's hard to build a team and a 808 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 3: watchable product for TV when everyone is leaving, coming and 809 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 3: going every year. 810 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 2: Well said, all right, why are the women's at CAA 811 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 2: tournament games getting better TV ratings and ticket prices are 812 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 2: higher than the men? 813 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 3: I mean one watchability to stop prior is everything. People 814 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 3: want to see Kayln Clark, they want to see Don 815 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 3: Staley's crew, they want to see Paigeucus and some of 816 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 3: those others, And you know, when it comes to those 817 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 3: other sports, like it's just not it's the watchability factor. 818 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 3: It's just so easy to fall in love with and 819 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 3: you like the stories and you can feel like you've 820 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 3: grown up with these ladies that are playing because they've 821 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,280 Speaker 3: been around three, four or five years. 822 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing, just as in a side. I mean, 823 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 2: I'm watching the games last night when one of the 824 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 2: games I think is on TBS and the women's game 825 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 2: is on ABC today, which is an amazing situation. Really 826 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 2: is but one Saturday night one Sunday afternoon. But I 827 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 2: don't think I'm making a munch of a difference. Now, 828 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 2: if you could pick just one sporting event to a 829 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 2: tend in person, what would that sporting event be. 830 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 3: Once for an event to a tend in person, I 831 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 3: would say that there's nothing like a championship fight. I 832 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 3: would need to see a championship fight in Vegas between 833 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 3: two of the best that we've don and I don't 834 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 3: care who's fighting, but I just need to see a 835 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 3: title fight in Vegas with a lot of atmosphere. 836 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 2: I'm really surprised to hear that, But that's okay. Now 837 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 2: here's the biggie. How much is your limit on paying 838 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 2: for a sports ticket for an event? 839 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 3: Man? My limit, I pay a couple hundred. I pay 840 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 3: a couple hundred dollars, maybe three hundred dollars for a 841 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 3: sporting event. I don't mind paying for paying for tickets 842 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 3: to go see something that whatever they want to see. 843 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 2: How much have you ever paid before? If I may 844 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 2: ask to be too personal. 845 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 3: Pay I paid. I paid. I paid significant money. I 846 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 3: paid like like two fifty three dollars a piece for 847 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 3: a ticket. But it would have to be a really 848 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 3: good game, something that I'm really about. 849 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 2: Okay, So if you paid two to fifty, I mean 850 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 2: you're not going along. So you're paying five hundred, right. 851 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, pay five hundred. Take the old family, whatever it takes. 852 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go, all right, from the majors to 853 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 2: the monitors. That and much more right here. Fox Sports 854 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 2: Sunday next. 855 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,919 Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. 856 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 2: Are them moving in the wrong direction? That's coming right up? 857 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 2: Good morning, everybody. This is Fox Sports Sunday and Fox 858 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 2: Sports Ready. He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Iny Firman. I went 859 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the ti i rack dot com studios 860 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 2: ti rack dot com. We'll help you get there and 861 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 2: the match selection fans free shipping free road has a 862 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 2: protection and over a ten thousand recommended in stallless ti 863 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 2: rack dot Com. The way tire buying should be Bucky Brooks. 864 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 2: That's the way it is. But we're rolling along right now. 865 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,240 Speaker 2: And you know what, I'm really happy that the NCAA 866 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 2: basketball tournament is coming to a close. Why you ask, 867 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 2: because we're getting even close to the football. That's why 868 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 2: we're getting close to the football. And the more I 869 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 2: watch college basketball or any other sport, I can understand 870 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 2: now why football is so much more popular. Less is more, 871 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 2: you know, Stop force feeding me all these games. You know, 872 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 2: I remember when college basketball used to start in December. 873 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 2: It's starting in November right now. Stop force forcing forcing 874 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 2: me all these games. More is not better. Less is best. 875 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 2: And when the NFL goes to eighteen, I kind of 876 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,760 Speaker 2: worry about that there's going to be a limit about 877 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 2: the amount of games because more games, more injuries. But 878 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 2: right now, it's perfect. Once a week, you know, it's 879 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 2: just the perfect setup. It really is. And you know it. 880 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 2: You played it. 881 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a perfect setup. 882 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 12: You know. 883 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 3: Look, it's time. It's amazing how we are in love 884 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,720 Speaker 3: with all sports. But football kind of always takes precedent. 885 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 3: So I am getting excited about the stuff. To draft 886 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 3: is like a month away, so yeah, it's time right now. 887 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 2: Yesterday, Louisiana became the first state to ban prop bets 888 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 2: on college athletes. All right. The Louisiana Gaming Control Board 889 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 2: announced this and the step that could lead maybe to 890 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 2: changes across the country. It's a moment for the relationship 891 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 2: between sports and gambling athletes at the college and pro levels. 892 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,439 Speaker 2: And look, I don't understand why prop bets. Why does 893 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 2: that have the Why is that any different than any 894 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 2: other wage. I'm not a betting guy. I don't bet, Okay, 895 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 2: I really don't. I'll do a bracket, that's basically it. 896 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 2: Maybe once in a while, a little fun bet with 897 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,800 Speaker 2: a friend or something like that. But I'm not a gambler. 898 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 2: And I know friends of mine they say they can't 899 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 2: watch sporting events unless I have money on the game, 900 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,359 Speaker 2: because it makes it more interesting for them to watch. 901 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 2: Maybe so, but not for me. But why prop bets? 902 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 2: Are you familiar with this at all? I don't understand 903 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,720 Speaker 2: why they pick up prop bets. 904 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 3: I think maybe because some of the students, you know, 905 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,720 Speaker 3: we talked in the first hour about you know, Gabby 906 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 3: Marshall and how the increased outrage on social media platforms 907 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 3: and those things are an issue and so maybe they're 908 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 3: trying to take some of the pressure off of the 909 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 3: young people that are playing into sports by taking that 910 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 3: stuff away. 911 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 2: Interesting, I could be. I don't know. We'll see if 912 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,240 Speaker 2: other states follow that now. I've just felt that betting 913 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 2: to me is great for sports leagues because obviously it's 914 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 2: a revenue stream. But I think it's hurting sports. We've 915 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,240 Speaker 2: heard threats from NBA coaches. Gabby Marshall, you just mentioned 916 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 2: she's been harassed, I guess on social media. I just 917 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 2: don't think it's healthy. I really don't. But speaking of 918 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,839 Speaker 2: college and college athletes, college freshman Bronnie James, yes, he's 919 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,439 Speaker 2: the son of Lebron LBJ. He will enter the twenty 920 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 2: twenty four NBA Draft. This kid average four point eight 921 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 2: points a game of USC. Didn't even start for USC. 922 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 2: All right, and Day Williams from the Four Letter Network. 923 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 2: I want to mention the letters from the Full Letter 924 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 2: Network had something to say about Bronnie. Let's hear from JW. 925 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 13: For me, this is just Bronnie James checking out his 926 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 13: options right going into the transfer portal. Why not go 927 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,319 Speaker 13: through all the workouts. I know people are going to 928 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,760 Speaker 13: jump to conclusions like he's definitely going into the draft. 929 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: Why not see the entire landscape. 930 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 13: So open up the portal, see what opportunities are there, 931 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 13: Go into all these pre draft workouts, go through the routine. 932 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 3: See where you're going to be, See what you. 933 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 13: Know Rich Paul company, what they're going to talk about 934 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 13: as it relates to what potential teams you could go to, 935 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,799 Speaker 13: if that's you know, late first round, early second and 936 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,240 Speaker 13: then weigh at all your options. 937 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 3: I think it's a smart move. 938 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 13: I'm not going to jump to conclusions by saying Bronnie's 939 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 13: definitely going to the draft. He's just seeing what the 940 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 13: entire landscape looks like. 941 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 2: You agree with that, mister Brooks. 942 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 3: I do agree with that. I agree with it in 943 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 3: a major way because everything is about information, is about options. 944 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 3: It's about knowing what art, what's available to you and 945 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 3: then making the best decision based on what the opportunities 946 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 3: are out there. Ronnie James, certainly people are on him 947 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,719 Speaker 3: about the whatever, the low scoring average or whatever, but 948 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 3: the NBA is about potential. It's about like high weight 949 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 3: speeds projection, what he could be at the next level, 950 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 3: not necessarily what you did at the collegiate level. The 951 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 3: transfer portal is about finding the right opportunity to elevate 952 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 3: yourself to play at a high level going forward. So 953 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 3: Ronnie should explore those things. He should see where he 954 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 3: stacks up in relation to other players at the collegiate 955 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 3: and pro level, and then make the best decision based 956 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 3: on what is going to give him an opportunity to 957 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 3: get to his end goal. If his end goal is 958 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 3: to get to the NBA, he needs that information so 959 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 3: he can make really good decisions. 960 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I found that stress. As I mentioned, only average 961 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 2: four point eight points a game of US. He didn't start, 962 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 2: he played nineteen minutes a game. But I think one 963 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 2: of the reasons he did this and maybe way off 964 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 2: based though, but his coach at USC in the NFLD 965 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 2: he left, he left for SMU. There's a difference. Good Look, 966 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 2: he wasn't recruited by the new coach coming in, Eric 967 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 2: Musselman's coming in, and we'll see what had. Eric mussels 968 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 2: was a different kind of guy. You know, he's a 969 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,959 Speaker 2: hard ass Eric Musselman, he really is. And maybe maybe 970 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 2: Brunni doesn't want to play for him. I don't know. 971 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 2: I don't know the reason. But when you talk about 972 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,720 Speaker 2: checking options, it's not a bad deal. Check all your options. 973 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 2: There you go. Now here's something that here's a team 974 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 2: that didn't have many options. All right, I'm talking about 975 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 2: the team that's moving backwards. They're moving, but they're going 976 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 2: in the wrong direction. I'm talking about the Oakland A's. 977 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 2: They're moving to a modern league ballpark in Sacramento for 978 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,240 Speaker 2: the next three years. This is one of those stories 979 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 2: that you say, if I'm a Major League Baseball player, 980 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 2: they played for the Oakland A's, I'm gonna end up 981 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 2: for the next three years playing in Sacramento with a 982 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 2: ballpark that handles fourteen thousand people. They've operated on a 983 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 2: shoe string budget since they have maybe made their desire 984 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 2: to leave their home city, and they're gonna call a 985 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 2: modern league ballpark home for the next three years. This 986 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 2: is an amazing situation, and it doesn't bode well for 987 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. It's like a black guy for Major 988 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 2: League based It looks disgusting. It really does. 989 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, it does look bad. And as someone who spent 990 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,399 Speaker 3: a lot of time living in the Bay Area, look, man, 991 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 3: this troubles me. It trust me because I know living 992 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 3: in Oakland, how much Oakland, the town, how much they 993 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 3: they represented the A's, how much they supported the A's, 994 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 3: and you have ownership group who has done nothing to 995 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 3: reciprocate that love. He's kind of pooped on the fans. 996 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 3: They haven't put a product, a winning product on the field. 997 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 3: They do have good players. Whenever they have good players, 998 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 3: either trade them off or they send them down to 999 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,439 Speaker 3: the minor leagues. And it just appears that the ownership 1000 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 3: group is about the check. It's about the bottom line. 1001 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 3: It's about the investment in the protein that will go 1002 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 3: from being hundreds of millions two billions and then selling 1003 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 3: it out without worrying about how look how their departure 1004 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:58,919 Speaker 3: impacts the town, the fandom, the city, the economics around 1005 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 3: the team, all of that. So to me, I hate it, 1006 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. And I hate it because 1007 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 3: I was there. I was there shortly after they won 1008 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 3: the World Series. I was there watching them when Billy 1009 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 3: Bean and those guys came up, Moneyball and all that 1010 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 3: other stuff, and the team was exciting whatever, And they 1011 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 3: have done nothing to give back to the fans that 1012 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 3: have supported them forever. They have iconic uniforms, they have 1013 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 3: an iconic presence in Major League Baseball and they've done 1014 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 3: nothing to really reward the city that really supported them 1015 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 3: for a long time. 1016 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 2: So what I'm hearing from you, Bucky Books, is that 1017 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 2: you're down on this team. You're down on the A's, 1018 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 2: that they should have done more to make it more viable, 1019 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 2: maybe more exciting for them to stay, and maybe there'll 1020 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,919 Speaker 2: be a ground swell that they stay. And I think 1021 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 2: that I'm more upset with the city of Oakland, where 1022 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 2: they didn't much. They didn't do a thing to improve 1023 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 2: that stadium, which is a dump. That stadium is. I 1024 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,720 Speaker 2: was back there in nineteen ninety when the A's played 1025 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 2: the Reds in the World Series, and I was there 1026 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 2: and the locker rooms, I mean, back up, the toilets, 1027 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,439 Speaker 2: back up. It's terrible. So if sports bring so much 1028 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,319 Speaker 2: economic development and so much goodness to a city, it 1029 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,520 Speaker 2: separates cities from being minor league to major league. Most 1030 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,439 Speaker 2: cities in our country or are majorly considered major league 1031 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,800 Speaker 2: if they have a professional team. If you don't have 1032 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 2: a professional team, you're not considered a big time city. 1033 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 2: At big time cities with teams, they attract kids out 1034 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 2: of college who want to work there. They attract businesses, 1035 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 2: it's great for business with restaurants, hotels, whatever it may be. 1036 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,360 Speaker 2: So having a team is a great plus. And I 1037 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 2: don't understand why the people that run the city of 1038 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 2: Oakland don't understand why a team is not a plus 1039 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:37,760 Speaker 2: for your city. 1040 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,920 Speaker 3: Now I see because here's why I think it's different. 1041 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,360 Speaker 3: And I watched it with the Warriors. Right when the 1042 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,239 Speaker 3: Warriors were terrible and they couldn't get anybody, they were 1043 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 3: fine being in Oakland. When they flipped a switch. They 1044 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,320 Speaker 3: then cash out and go to San Francisco. It doesn't 1045 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 3: seem like a major deal. But going from the town, 1046 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 3: which is what Oakland is referred to, to the city, 1047 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 3: which is what San Francisco is referred to, is a 1048 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,879 Speaker 3: huge difference different faith fan base in terms of being 1049 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,360 Speaker 3: from the East Bay to being on the other side, 1050 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 3: because you go from like the heart of the city, 1051 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,400 Speaker 3: the urban part of the city, to now you're dealing 1052 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:16,279 Speaker 3: with like the money makers, like a different crew. I 1053 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,400 Speaker 3: will say this because owners have gotten away with us 1054 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 3: for a long time. Owners won't publicly financed stadiums for 1055 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 3: private profit, and it's not fair to the fans because 1056 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 3: what they like to do is push off all the 1057 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 3: money onto the fan to pay for everything and then 1058 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 3: they cash out. They don't the fans don't get any 1059 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 3: of that money, Like, yeah, we're part of the team, 1060 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 3: but you don't. You don't get any of that. And 1061 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 3: so I do understand why Oakland was like, no, we're 1062 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 3: not putting up all this money for you to then 1063 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 3: just take it for yourself, Like it's not a fair deal. 1064 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 3: It's no different than what we saw with the stadium 1065 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 3: deal in Kansas City. Like people are growing tired of 1066 00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 3: billionaires wanting assistance from the working class to pay for 1067 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 3: these teams and stadiums when the owners are the only 1068 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:04,920 Speaker 3: ones that are casting yet. 1069 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 2: Well, it's funny because I remember back in Miami, way 1070 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,240 Speaker 2: back in the day, it was the late Joe Robbie. 1071 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 2: He built it. He built that stadium without public assistance. 1072 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 2: And I'm Ron Wright, I think that why should public well, 1073 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 2: why should the public have a tax levy leaned on 1074 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 2: them for the benefit of a guy who owns a team. 1075 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 2: It's not right. And these these tax levies, you know, 1076 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 2: and never ending tax on the digits keep I'm going, ongoing, ongoing, 1077 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,239 Speaker 2: And look, it looked like the city of Oakland and 1078 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 2: the A's have met several times to explore some least 1079 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,000 Speaker 2: extensions at that coliseum with the team, and the least 1080 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 2: expires after this season. This Sea is gonna be the 1081 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 2: fifty seventh year in Oakland and the franchise. The Oakland 1082 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,439 Speaker 2: As also considered temporary homes in Salt Lake City, which 1083 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 2: is the club's Triple LA team, and of course in 1084 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 2: Las Vegas, which does not have a roof in Vegas. 1085 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 2: But they're talking about going to Vegas, and I think 1086 00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,759 Speaker 2: what's happening now is that maybe the people in Vegas say, 1087 00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 2: you know what, we got second thoughts and I'm not 1088 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 2: so sure we want you here. You know, got a 1089 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,399 Speaker 2: pro hockey and they got pro football. I don't think 1090 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 2: they need pro baseball. And maybe baseball just came a 1091 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,760 Speaker 2: little too late, right, don't you think? 1092 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,440 Speaker 3: Uh No, I mean, look, it's it's ownership trying to 1093 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,839 Speaker 3: follow the money. They saw what the Raiders were able 1094 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 3: to do when they moved to Las Vegas. It has 1095 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 3: given them a tremendous amount of cash, and that cash 1096 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,800 Speaker 3: has allowed them to change the way that they're able 1097 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 3: to compete because now you can pay and buy free 1098 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:36,880 Speaker 3: agency and all of those things for the A's. You're trying. 1099 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,880 Speaker 3: You're chasing a bag, right, so we're gonna take it 1100 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,720 Speaker 3: to Salt Lake City. Oh, we're gonna take it whatever, 1101 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:46,400 Speaker 3: and you've completely ruined the stuff going to Sacramento. Like, 1102 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 3: it's fine. So I've heard their name will no longer 1103 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,319 Speaker 3: be like the Oakland A's. It won't be the Bay 1104 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,240 Speaker 3: Area A's and just be the athletics. It'd be the A's. 1105 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:55,960 Speaker 3: Like that's nice, it's cute. They're gonna play in a 1106 00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 3: small stadium in Sacramento, but that ain't really the bay 1107 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,839 Speaker 3: you know, that's not where the history is. I mean, 1108 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 3: Sacramento is closed, but they still don't consider that the 1109 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,040 Speaker 3: Bay Area. It's just a different thing. They're taken away 1110 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,239 Speaker 3: from the essence of what the franchise was. But look, 1111 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:13,840 Speaker 3: when you're the only seeing you've paid the money to 1112 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 3: do it, you can do whatever, but don't expect the 1113 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,839 Speaker 3: everyday person to pay up for your dreams and what 1114 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,360 Speaker 3: you want for private profit. 1115 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,400 Speaker 2: It's funny because the A's have not done much to 1116 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,879 Speaker 2: help themselves. What do I mean by that? Last year 1117 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 2: they lost a one hundred and twelve games, second most 1118 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 2: in franchise history. This year they opened the season with 1119 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,440 Speaker 2: a budget of sixty million dollars, the lowest of Major 1120 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,680 Speaker 2: League Baseball. Now they have moved to Las Vegas has 1121 00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:45,080 Speaker 2: been met kind of like yeah, maybe, and the mayor 1122 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 2: of Vegas, the wife of the late mister Goodman, Carolyn 1123 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 2: Goodman's down the mayor. She said one point that the 1124 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,279 Speaker 2: club might be better of staying in Oakland. So I 1125 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 2: don't think there's a great interest in having them there. 1126 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 2: This team averaged six thousand, four to thirty eight fans 1127 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 2: a game, and that number could seek even less. There 1128 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 2: were some games they would draining three four hundred people 1129 00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,360 Speaker 2: a game, which I don't know how that could happen. 1130 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,440 Speaker 2: There's more people in a grocery store than in an 1131 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,239 Speaker 2: Oakland age game. How does that happen? Do they not care? 1132 00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess they felt that. 1133 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 3: They don't care. They don't care because they put a 1134 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,000 Speaker 3: Triple A team on the field. It's not even a 1135 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,920 Speaker 3: Triple A team, it's a Double A team. Sometimes they 1136 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 3: don't put the players. Every time they get good players, 1137 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,240 Speaker 3: they arch them off. There's a player I can't remember 1138 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 3: his name. Look, own base percentage was over four. He 1139 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 3: led the league and stolen bases and he sent him 1140 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 3: down to Triple A. And so you can't expect people 1141 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 3: to pay their hard earned money to go see a 1142 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,759 Speaker 3: team when they don't feel like the franchise kires and 1143 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,720 Speaker 3: if he ownership, if they refuse to put a winning 1144 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,120 Speaker 3: product on the field, why would anybody do it? So 1145 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 3: I feel like it's self sabotaged to get to a 1146 00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 3: greater gain, which is a new stadium in a new 1147 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,560 Speaker 3: city in revenue for the ownership group. 1148 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 2: Okay, so they come into a new city right with 1149 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 2: the same ownership, and this ownership has shown us that 1150 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 2: they're not willing to get their hands in their pocket 1151 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 2: open their while to get players to spend and win. 1152 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 2: So what's the difference. What's the new city gonna do? 1153 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 2: I understand obviously the newness factor will be fans will 1154 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:23,879 Speaker 2: come out maybe the first year, but you don't when 1155 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,040 Speaker 2: they're not going to come back. 1156 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well then probably the assumption or the plan from 1157 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 3: ownership is like, oh, okay, so now we got the 1158 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,839 Speaker 3: infusion of money, so now we would use the new 1159 00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,919 Speaker 3: city's money to pay for the team that we want 1160 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 3: to have, meaning we'll use that influx of cash to 1161 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 3: now pay for free agents and we'll put together the 1162 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:45,600 Speaker 3: farm system to do what it is that we want 1163 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,080 Speaker 3: to do. But it's almost like spending on a credit card. 1164 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,800 Speaker 3: I don't want to spend out of my pocket, so 1165 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna put it on credit and eventually the credit 1166 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 3: card company to take care of it, not owe me 1167 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 3: having to do it. Ownership doesn't want to pay the 1168 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 3: necessary money to put a winning product on the field, 1169 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 3: and it's unfortunate and it's sad. They want someone else 1170 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 3: to do it while they make this a business and 1171 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:09,920 Speaker 3: they look at the bottom line. 1172 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:14,279 Speaker 2: Amazing.

We 1196 00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 2: got Ivan from oapland who wants to talk to Bucky 1197 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 2: Brooks on Fox Sports Sunday. 1198 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 12: Hello Ivan, thanks for talking my call guy. We really 1199 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:38,439 Speaker 12: appreciate it. 1200 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening. Go ahead. 1201 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 12: I have a friend who work with City and gave 1202 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 12: me like all the insights on what happened with the 1203 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:55,320 Speaker 12: A's and the down show. It all started with the Raiders. 1204 00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,280 Speaker 12: A lot of people think that you know, the Raiders 1205 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 12: just up and left, and that's not true. It was 1206 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 12: the AIDS that forced the Raiders out. If you remember, 1207 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:08,480 Speaker 12: the city gave the property on a got there's a 1208 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,480 Speaker 12: name for it, where they gave him the property a 1209 00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,560 Speaker 12: promise to pay, okay, and the age had control of that. 1210 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 12: So Davis was handicapped. And the A's kept denying everything 1211 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 12: that the Raiders were doing. So now I get it 1212 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,800 Speaker 12: when the NFL wrote that we won't put money behind 1213 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,200 Speaker 12: the new state in Oakland if you kicked the A's 1214 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 12: out of the property, and the city never did, okay. 1215 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:36,040 Speaker 12: The city sacrificed the Raiders for the A's because they 1216 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 12: said it was for jobs. Eighty two games versus eight, right, 1217 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,400 Speaker 12: and that's why they did it, and so and so 1218 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,800 Speaker 12: now the city feels jilted. So wait a minute. We 1219 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 12: let probably the most popular team of the two go 1220 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 12: for you and then you turn around and want to leave. 1221 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 12: It backfired on the ADS because Davis went down and 1222 00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 12: flipped the profit. I mean so much so that now 1223 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 12: he wants to come to kill Las Vegas. And see 1224 00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 12: the difference between the Aids and the Raiders is the 1225 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,439 Speaker 12: Raiders spent their entire existence there, how much they love 1226 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:16,840 Speaker 12: the fans. They named the nation after the fans. Okay, 1227 00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 12: the ADS took that for granted, the loyalty for granted. 1228 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,800 Speaker 12: He said, it's gonna be there. I can, we can 1229 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 12: just fleece these fans. But they forgot. We hate just 1230 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 12: as hard as we love. When you turn on us, 1231 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 12: we turn on you back. 1232 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,360 Speaker 2: One quick question, Ivan, if I may, what's the reaction 1233 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 2: on the street in Oakland right now? They say, go ahead, 1234 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 2: good ridding, So they upset the fans. 1235 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 12: It's pure hatred, absolute hatred. I mean, it goes beyond. 1236 00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,200 Speaker 12: It's ain't even sad anymore. Just we hate you. We 1237 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:51,360 Speaker 12: hate you from the very bottom of our existence. It's 1238 00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:56,200 Speaker 12: almost like someone came and slapped your mother well, and 1239 00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 12: then all you want to do is get your hands 1240 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:02,800 Speaker 12: around them and take them out. I mean, it's literally 1241 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 12: it's that I walked down the street yesterday and a 1242 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 12: fan yelled to me take that off. 1243 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:09,000 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's happened. 1244 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 12: He say, why. I mean, I mean, I never met 1245 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 12: the mayor, but I understood. I understood what well I 1246 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,400 Speaker 12: mean was he was literally that man. He said, man, 1247 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:20,160 Speaker 12: take that off. 1248 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,160 Speaker 2: There you go. I haven thanks for the call, be good, 1249 01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 2: Thank you. Bucky. How do you like that? Huh? I 1250 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 2: hadn't heard that start before. 1251 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,720 Speaker 3: Well, no, I think he speaks to defend him. Like 1252 01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 3: they are not. They don't like what's going on. And 1253 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,040 Speaker 3: they're right about taking advantage of the fans and assuming 1254 01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,680 Speaker 3: that they always were there, because that's the one thing 1255 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 3: that you can say about Oakland and and and their 1256 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,600 Speaker 3: fan base, and I would say it transcends all sports. 1257 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 3: The Raiders, the Warriors, and the Age were all right 1258 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 3: there in that same area because the stadium like the 1259 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,959 Speaker 3: Coliseum and what used to be called Oracle or whatever 1260 01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,720 Speaker 3: it is, uh now they all were right there. And 1261 01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,760 Speaker 3: so I was the early two thousands. I was there 1262 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 3: when the basketball team was bad, you know, and then 1263 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 3: Baron Davison do we believe crew kind of came through 1264 01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 3: and made it how they made it pop? And then 1265 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 3: Steph Curry and their crew got it going. And there's 1266 01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 3: no fan base like the fans in the Bay Area. 1267 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 3: When their team is there, they show up for them. 1268 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 3: And what I having to lose to like them trying 1269 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 3: to fleece the fans and take advantage. Yeah, they got 1270 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 3: win of it. I told you they're playing. But the 1271 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,320 Speaker 3: double A team and thinking that people are gonna pay 1272 01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,920 Speaker 3: money for that product like that doesn't work. I mean, 1273 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,320 Speaker 3: they're loyal to the soil, but not like that. They're 1274 01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 3: not idiots, and that's what was being That's what was happening. 1275 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 3: And yeah, they have a right to be man. They 1276 01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:43,720 Speaker 3: also have a right to not show up because the 1277 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,120 Speaker 3: product certainly isn't commiserate with the trying the money that 1278 01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 3: they're trying to make when it comes to tickets and 1279 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,040 Speaker 3: all the other silly stuff. 1280 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,000 Speaker 2: I hear exactly what you're saying, and say, you have 1281 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 2: a double a team, fans are going to show up. 1282 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 2: But this past Tuesday in Kansas City, Missouri, the fans 1283 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 2: and the citizens took the power back. What do I 1284 01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,080 Speaker 2: mean by that? The fans and citizens rejected a ballot 1285 01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:03,400 Speaker 2: measure that would have funded a new stadium for the 1286 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 2: Kansas City Royals in the city downtown, and that fund 1287 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,440 Speaker 2: will also have provided a Chiefs, some upgrades to Arrowhead 1288 01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 2: Stadium and free reign over the complex that has housed 1289 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,120 Speaker 2: both franchises for about fifty years now. The public was 1290 01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,920 Speaker 2: asked a forty year sales tax that would have funded 1291 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,360 Speaker 2: roughly one point five billion for a new Royal Stadium 1292 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 2: and a modernization of Arrowhead Stadium. And they said, hey, 1293 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,680 Speaker 2: you know what, this tax is not such a new tax. 1294 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:33,160 Speaker 2: It's just a continuation of a three fifths of sales 1295 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:37,320 Speaker 2: tax that was already funding renovations at the Truman Sports Complex. 1296 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,720 Speaker 2: It's a way of saying, yeah, you the public, you're 1297 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 2: still paying off the renovations at Coffin Stadium. Now, you 1298 01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,480 Speaker 2: know what, vote for this and give us a little 1299 01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,120 Speaker 2: more money because you probably won't miss it anyway, all right. 1300 01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,360 Speaker 2: And you know what, the public said, no, fifty eight 1301 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,919 Speaker 2: percent to forty two percent. And I get what you're saying. 1302 01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,400 Speaker 2: With the double eighteen, people are going, but you're talking 1303 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,840 Speaker 2: about a double Super Super Bowl team in Kansas City. 1304 01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,240 Speaker 2: And the fans still stuck stuck up and said, you 1305 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,960 Speaker 2: know what, we're taking the power back. The hell with it. 1306 01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 2: You guys are multi millionaires. You want to pay it 1307 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:11,280 Speaker 2: for yourself? 1308 01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's that's it, Andy, Like, why are 1309 01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:17,760 Speaker 3: you asking the fans to build a stadium when you 1310 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,480 Speaker 3: own the team. The fans don't share in any of 1311 01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 3: the profits. I could see if it was the Green 1312 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 3: Bay Packers, but the Green Bay Packers aren't doing it. 1313 01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,400 Speaker 3: It's it's the Kansas the Chiefs, and obviously normally when 1314 01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 3: you have those things, you have another deal in the works, 1315 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,720 Speaker 3: like they'll move away from Arrowhead, they'll go somewhere in 1316 01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,720 Speaker 3: Kansas and they'll build a bigger complex, maybe near the 1317 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:39,480 Speaker 3: stadium where the soccer team just built that luxurious spot. 1318 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:43,040 Speaker 3: And the ownership and those things that cash out. Uh, 1319 01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 3: that's what that's what it is. I mean, look, billionaires 1320 01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,479 Speaker 3: are billionaires for a reason. A lot of times they're 1321 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,400 Speaker 3: really good at working the bottom line. Uh, they find 1322 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 3: a way to squeeze every drop out of a profit margin, 1323 01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,960 Speaker 3: a P and L sheet and continue to try and 1324 01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,360 Speaker 3: do that. So they'll squeeze the fans as much as 1325 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 3: they can until they can go elsewhere and squeeze some 1326 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:05,760 Speaker 3: more fans. 1327 01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,160 Speaker 2: I'll never figure. When they built a new stadium in 1328 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 2: Cincinnati for the Bengals, there was a vote and what 1329 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,520 Speaker 2: the Bengals did it was a smart move. They brought 1330 01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 2: back all the old players, Kenny Anderson, the quarterback, Chris 1331 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,200 Speaker 2: Collins with Boomer Sizon, they brought him out. They had 1332 01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 2: a big deal at downtown Cincinnati and Fountain Square and 1333 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,439 Speaker 2: it won. You know, the deal one they're voting one. 1334 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 2: I don't think that would happened today. I don't think 1335 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,160 Speaker 2: that the people in town. Well maybe they would maybe 1336 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,040 Speaker 2: because the team is winning and they did go to 1337 01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,840 Speaker 2: the super Bowl several years ago. But I just don't 1338 01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,000 Speaker 2: think fans want to have people the owners, sticking their 1339 01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,320 Speaker 2: hands in their wallet. I just don't think it's right. 1340 01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:43,360 Speaker 2: You got millionaires and billionaires asking working class people to 1341 01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,280 Speaker 2: pay for their deal, and it's not right. But it happens. 1342 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,880 Speaker 2: And you talk about the Kansas City situation that happened 1343 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,760 Speaker 2: just the other day. If they decide to move, there's 1344 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,480 Speaker 2: gonna be some government in some city in some states 1345 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,080 Speaker 2: say you know what, Kansas City doesn't want you, We'll 1346 01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,439 Speaker 2: take you and they'll pay for it. It's gonna happen. 1347 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,240 Speaker 2: There'll be a city somewhere. And maybe Saint Louis. I mean, 1348 01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:05,560 Speaker 2: they lost two football teams and maybe they realized how 1349 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 2: important it was to have one. And they still have 1350 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,160 Speaker 2: a stadium that's somewhat empty. Maybe Saint Louis will say, 1351 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,600 Speaker 2: you know what, we screwed up, let's bring let's bring 1352 01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,480 Speaker 2: them back here. It could happen, right. 1353 01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,960 Speaker 3: It could happen. Just I think yesterday in the UFL game, 1354 01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:22,720 Speaker 3: Saint Louis drew over forty thousand fans. Look most in 1355 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 3: that league my shirt. So to think forty thousand fans 1356 01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,200 Speaker 3: showed up for a spring league game, imagine how many 1357 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 3: woul show up for NFL stuff. It's a real possibility. 1358 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 3: And look, ownership understands that the league at the top 1359 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,360 Speaker 3: understands that they're more cities than teams, and so that 1360 01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 3: creates a little competition. With competition, you're able to squeeze 1361 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,320 Speaker 3: fan bases and get the money that you want and 1362 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:46,200 Speaker 3: the deals that you want. 1363 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,840 Speaker 2: I would say this, if Travis Kelcey is still dating 1364 01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,360 Speaker 2: Taylor Smith, let Taylor swift by the stadium and changes 1365 01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,600 Speaker 2: to Swift Stadium. Why don't they do this? She could 1366 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,480 Speaker 2: pay for the stadium, right, let her do it. 1367 01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:00,520 Speaker 3: I mean, I guess you could pay for the stadium. 1368 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 3: But imagine how much height she would get if she 1369 01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 3: did decide to pay for the stadium. Man, you know 1370 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,920 Speaker 3: I already don't like her and liking this team, I 1371 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:08,440 Speaker 3: can only imagine what that would look like. 1372 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 2: I will say this, I enjoy the Kelsey's I really do. 1373 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:15,480 Speaker 2: I like Jason and I like Travis all right. They're 1374 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,440 Speaker 2: from Cincinnati in the sense that they went to the 1375 01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:21,479 Speaker 2: University of Cincinnati. The Ohio guys. They're coming back next 1376 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,800 Speaker 2: week to do their podcast at the University of Cincinnati, 1377 01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 2: which I thought was a nice gesture. Okay, And then 1378 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:31,720 Speaker 2: I read the fine print. Yeah, said the public is welcome. 1379 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 2: I said, wow, it's not a bad deal, right, the 1380 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 2: fine print said your public's welcome. It's one hundred dollars 1381 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:38,760 Speaker 2: a ticket, and the money is going to the University 1382 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:42,800 Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. Nil fund. I ain't going for one hundred 1383 01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,960 Speaker 2: bucks a ticket, all right, put the damper on it. 1384 01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 2: I don't need to hear their podcast for one hundred bucks. 1385 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. I mean, I didn't realize that 1386 01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,040 Speaker 2: was the deal. I thought, Hey, what a great gesture, 1387 01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 2: guys play for Cincinnati. They're coming back doing the podcast here. 1388 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 2: No to money grab and I'm not going. And you know, 1389 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 2: I promise you there'll be a ton of people there too. 1390 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:02,600 Speaker 2: I'm sure they will be. 1391 01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there'd be people there. But once again, 1392 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 3: it's another thing. You have universities and programs. You have 1393 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:15,120 Speaker 3: the everyday person paying for the team, not the university, 1394 01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,360 Speaker 3: but you have the fan none of it makes sense. 1395 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:18,040 Speaker 1: Like it's night. 1396 01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,160 Speaker 3: It's one of the biggest bait and switch jobs that 1397 01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:26,400 Speaker 3: we're seeing where you're having millionaires and billionaires having everyday 1398 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,360 Speaker 3: workers pay for entertainment. 1399 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:29,720 Speaker 2: It's backwards. 1400 01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:33,560 Speaker 3: It's crazy, completely backwards, completely backwards. 1401 01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,520 Speaker 2: Unreal, it really is.

Bottom barrel betting, 1456 01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:27,760 Speaker 2: and of course it's the place that I get beat up. 1457 01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,519 Speaker 2: But that's okay, I can handle it. Now we talk 1458 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,640 Speaker 2: about college coaches, and I guess, Buck, you would know 1459 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,479 Speaker 2: this more than anybody else because you were a college athlete. 1460 01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,720 Speaker 2: The college coach is maybe the main reason why so 1461 01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,559 Speaker 2: many high school athletes choose a school in the first place. 1462 01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:44,320 Speaker 2: You know whether the coach is successful or not. That's 1463 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,200 Speaker 2: one of the reasons. I guess. If he runs a 1464 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,280 Speaker 2: specific style, then you fit in. Maybe this coach develops 1465 01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:54,639 Speaker 2: athletes like Coach call and Kentucky sent them to the pros. 1466 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,880 Speaker 2: Maybe the coach creates a strong culture. Maybe the person 1467 01:10:57,920 --> 01:10:59,760 Speaker 2: in charge has an influence on you. I don't know 1468 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:03,800 Speaker 2: what the reason with the transferportal. More players look at 1469 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:07,000 Speaker 2: coaches throughout their careers. Now again, I ask you, what 1470 01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:08,839 Speaker 2: was the main reason why you went to North Carolina. 1471 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,720 Speaker 2: Obviously you're from that, you were a fan, obviously, but 1472 01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:13,800 Speaker 2: there had to be one thing to say, Look, I'm 1473 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,760 Speaker 2: going there because I like the coach. I'm sure it 1474 01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:17,360 Speaker 2: was the coach. 1475 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:20,240 Speaker 3: I mean, the coach plays a big part of it. 1476 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 3: You tell young people don't make decisions based on the 1477 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:23,880 Speaker 3: coach because the coach can leave it anytime. Go to 1478 01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,559 Speaker 3: a university where you can see yourself being there, whether 1479 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,840 Speaker 3: you're playing or whether you're just a regular student. But ultimately, 1480 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,679 Speaker 3: people make decisions on relationships. It's a relationship business. And 1481 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,080 Speaker 3: when you have someone that's been recruiting you for multiple 1482 01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,439 Speaker 3: years and they're pouring into you and you begin to 1483 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,479 Speaker 3: develop this synergy and connection with them, you tend to 1484 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,320 Speaker 3: follow them and when they leave your heartbroken, It's one 1485 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,679 Speaker 3: of those things guys have to understand and take themselves 1486 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:49,880 Speaker 3: out of it. You can do a lot of things 1487 01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 3: with the coach, but you have to make sure that 1488 01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,360 Speaker 3: you pick the school based on what you're looking for 1489 01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:56,879 Speaker 3: in terms of your four or five year experience. 1490 01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,760 Speaker 2: This is amazing. I read this the other day in 1491 01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:03,200 Speaker 2: The Athletic. If the players could choose any coach other 1492 01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,439 Speaker 2: than their own, who would it be? And on the 1493 01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,080 Speaker 2: flip side, which coach would they not want to play for. 1494 01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you because you're an athlete. I mean, 1495 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,080 Speaker 2: I guess I have someone an opinion too, although i'd 1496 01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:15,759 Speaker 2: have employed. What coaches would you like to play for? 1497 01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,759 Speaker 2: On the college side, well the pros really as well, 1498 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:21,080 Speaker 2: or what coaches do you not want to play for. 1499 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,960 Speaker 3: Let's see, so I want to play with someone in 1500 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:29,320 Speaker 3: great So it's unfortunate like these two guys are no 1501 01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:31,360 Speaker 3: longer getting a college game. I would love to have 1502 01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 3: played for either Nick Saban or Jim Harbor, two of 1503 01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:38,679 Speaker 3: the great coaches. I want to win. I want people 1504 01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:40,240 Speaker 3: that are going to give me the blueprint to help 1505 01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,240 Speaker 3: me win so I could play for a long time, 1506 01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:46,599 Speaker 3: not only collegiately, but professionally. So I would say right now, 1507 01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,680 Speaker 3: I want to go play for Kirby Smart. I want 1508 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:50,559 Speaker 3: to play for Kirby sud because they have a blueprint, 1509 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 3: They're producing players that can play at a high level. 1510 01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,080 Speaker 3: They're winning a ton of games. It looks like he 1511 01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,599 Speaker 3: has a connection with his players that is different. So 1512 01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,080 Speaker 3: even though I know that I'm going to an environment 1513 01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 3: that is really hard, it's going to be tough and demanding, 1514 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,360 Speaker 3: I think I would be better for it when I 1515 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:07,000 Speaker 3: came out of it. 1516 01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,439 Speaker 2: Okay, on the pro level, would you like to play 1517 01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 2: for the Lions right now? 1518 01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:16,120 Speaker 3: And there coach I like Dan Campbell, Yeah, you know, 1519 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 3: I would still say like like if I go play 1520 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,800 Speaker 3: for the Charges and play for Harbor, I would be 1521 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:25,679 Speaker 3: with that if I could play in Pittsburgh for Mike Tomlin, 1522 01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:28,840 Speaker 3: I would be about that because of the connectivity that 1523 01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 3: he has with the players. I like Dan Campbell, and 1524 01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,679 Speaker 3: I like the fact that Dan Campbell is a former 1525 01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,720 Speaker 3: player has assembled a coaching staff with a lot of 1526 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 3: former players that I feel like would be relatable. I could, 1527 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:42,599 Speaker 3: I could, I could work with that. 1528 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 2: Does it make a difference? And I thought it may 1529 01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,160 Speaker 2: very well make a difference as far as a prose 1530 01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:50,719 Speaker 2: to concern, you want to play for a pro coach 1531 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,200 Speaker 2: who played the game, right, I mean, you don't want 1532 01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,599 Speaker 2: to play for a guy who really never played the game. 1533 01:13:55,640 --> 01:14:01,360 Speaker 2: It's difficult to take direction and demands from a guy 1534 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:03,760 Speaker 2: who's who you've never been there, done that, and he's 1535 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:04,680 Speaker 2: telling you to do it. 1536 01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:09,280 Speaker 3: No, it's not necessarily difficult in taking the demands. I 1537 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,719 Speaker 3: would say that sometimes when you play for guys who've 1538 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:15,160 Speaker 3: played it, there's a level of grace that they give 1539 01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:18,200 Speaker 3: that maybe sometimes other guys won't give, I meaning they 1540 01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,880 Speaker 3: understand how hard it is to do some of the 1541 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:24,000 Speaker 3: things that you're asking them to do. Between the lines, 1542 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,000 Speaker 3: others may draw it up on the board and say, hey, look, 1543 01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 3: this is how the ex's and o's move, but on 1544 01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 3: the field, the exes and o's don't move like they 1545 01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:35,479 Speaker 3: move on the whiteboard. Sometimes it takes former players to 1546 01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:40,639 Speaker 3: give you a different perspective to understand that. Also, if 1547 01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,559 Speaker 3: they've played, they've kind of been in your shoes, and 1548 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:47,080 Speaker 3: so they can give you a blueprint for success. And 1549 01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,320 Speaker 3: to me that's important. It doesn't mean that someone who 1550 01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 3: hasn't played can't do that, But as a player, I 1551 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:58,800 Speaker 3: can respect a former player doing it just because like, oh, 1552 01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,759 Speaker 3: he's been there, he's done that. That I'm more likely 1553 01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:05,479 Speaker 3: to buy in early than with someone who doesn't. Because 1554 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:08,160 Speaker 3: one thing that players do. Every player goes to the 1555 01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:09,800 Speaker 3: media Guide, and the first thing they do is they 1556 01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:11,920 Speaker 3: look at all their coaches. They go to the bio 1557 01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:15,120 Speaker 3: and they see what level of accomplishment does that coach have. 1558 01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,639 Speaker 3: Did he play in high school? Was he a decorated player, 1559 01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,479 Speaker 3: What kind of player was he in college? Did he 1560 01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,439 Speaker 3: go to a big school or little school? Did he 1561 01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,840 Speaker 3: not play? All of this stuff matters, and so you 1562 01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,479 Speaker 3: kind of come into the room with some biases based 1563 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,640 Speaker 3: on the research that you've done. Sometimes it can be 1564 01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:35,160 Speaker 3: hard for guys to really fully buy in if they 1565 01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 3: don't believe that you've played well enough high enough to 1566 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,479 Speaker 3: do it, and so they're slow to take the information. 1567 01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:43,760 Speaker 3: You can win them over, but man, you have to 1568 01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:45,680 Speaker 3: be on point and the same thing. Just because you're 1569 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,280 Speaker 3: a former player, they may give you their respect early, 1570 01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:50,599 Speaker 3: but you still got to show them that you can coach. 1571 01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,120 Speaker 3: That stuff is a meritocracy when it comes to coaching 1572 01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,720 Speaker 3: in terms of the respect from the players. Not the 1573 01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:58,919 Speaker 3: jobs that you get, but the respect from the players 1574 01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 3: you have to earn and you have to earn that 1575 01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:03,600 Speaker 3: by what you teach them, what to show them, and 1576 01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:04,720 Speaker 3: the knowledge that you have. 1577 01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,640 Speaker 2: Last, but not least, the athletics results over here for 1578 01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:09,360 Speaker 2: the second straight season. You want to take a guess, 1579 01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:11,600 Speaker 2: who are the coach other than their own that we 1580 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:13,560 Speaker 2: most likely played for? I'm talk about women now, the 1581 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,000 Speaker 2: women in the sweet sixteen this year? Which coach would 1582 01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:17,000 Speaker 2: they most like to play for? 1583 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:18,320 Speaker 10: Oh? 1584 01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:20,040 Speaker 3: I would say probably down Staley. 1585 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,760 Speaker 2: Bingo Bucky Brooks wins again. You know, only win the 1586 01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,719 Speaker 2: bottom barrel betting you're winning this too. So for second 1587 01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,400 Speaker 2: year old Don Staley coaches South Carolina wins that and 1588 01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:32,160 Speaker 2: coming up second. Gino Oriama from Connecticut was second followed 1589 01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:35,120 Speaker 2: by Kenny Brooks of Virginia Tech who's gone out to Kentucky, 1590 01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,920 Speaker 2: and Tara Van der Vere from Stanford. So Storne Staley 1591 01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:40,240 Speaker 2: wins at number one. There we go. 1592 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:43,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, players like winning, players like people that build relationships 1593 01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:44,080 Speaker 3: with them. 1594 01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,120 Speaker 2: All right, here we go. The game is going all 1595 01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 2: one way. Bottom barrel betting is freaking next bottom barrel 1596 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:56,000 Speaker 2: betting right around the Corner's about maybe eleven minutes before 1597 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:57,760 Speaker 2: the top of the hour.

New Jersey has to 1650 01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:13,120 Speaker 2: win simply because there was an earthquake there the other day, 1651 01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:15,880 Speaker 2: and the earthquake will shake the pins, so they're gonna win. 1652 01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:17,240 Speaker 2: New Jersey's gonna win. 1653 01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,439 Speaker 6: That logic checks out to me, Thank you very much. 1654 01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:19,920 Speaker 2: All right. 1655 01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,960 Speaker 14: Next up, we got Badminton.

And the other one's Paradonna Paramatta. 1680 01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:27,280 Speaker 6: I'm probably pronouncing that wrong. 1681 01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,800 Speaker 2: To be honest with me, I am too.

We're talking NFL football. Are you ready? 1697 01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,800 Speaker 3: I'm absolutely ready? Anie, I know you. 1698 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:20,000 Speaker 2: Are you always ready at the best you are? Now 1699 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,920 Speaker 2: talk about the Houston Texans. They got a star quarterback 1700 01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:24,599 Speaker 2: you know, on their roster. He's a rookie and he's 1701 01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:28,280 Speaker 2: on the rookie contract. They're not wasting any time surrounding 1702 01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:32,320 Speaker 2: him with elite talent. This past Wednesday, their general manager 1703 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,879 Speaker 2: Nickosario landed one of the biggest offensive talents in the league, 1704 01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:39,040 Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs from the Buffalo Bills. The Texans are trading 1705 01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:42,120 Speaker 2: for the Buffalo Bills start, giving their quarterback CJ. Stroud 1706 01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 2: now a legitimate number one wide receiver, and aiding a 1707 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,799 Speaker 2: position group already loaded with pretty good young talent. 1708 01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:50,160 Speaker 7: Now. 1709 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,880 Speaker 2: In return, the Bills will received a twenty twenty five 1710 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:55,920 Speaker 2: second round pick through the Minnesota Vikings, that is, and 1711 01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:58,519 Speaker 2: the Texans will also receive a twenty twenty four to 1712 01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:02,000 Speaker 2: sixth round pick and a twenty five fifth rounder. And 1713 01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,880 Speaker 2: the Texans, as you know, with the surprise of the 1714 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,280 Speaker 2: NFL last year, they went ten and seven, winning a 1715 01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,080 Speaker 2: playoff game with a rookie quarterback and a rookie coach 1716 01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:14,320 Speaker 2: and Jamke o'rians and the Digs tray to couple with 1717 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:18,320 Speaker 2: some other offseason upgrades, could make Detexans, I'm gonna say 1718 01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 2: this now a serious contender for the Super Bowl. Agree, well, no, yeah, 1719 01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:26,400 Speaker 2: you know. 1720 01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:30,960 Speaker 3: Like so here's the thing, Like as we talk about it, 1721 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,800 Speaker 3: and we're going to the stretch where I know we're 1722 01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:36,280 Speaker 3: going to talk about a bunch of different things, but 1723 01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,000 Speaker 3: like we talk about super Bowls, and we talk about 1724 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,680 Speaker 3: teams that are ready to go and offseason winners and 1725 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,040 Speaker 3: who made moves and all of that stuff. But at 1726 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:47,720 Speaker 3: the end of the day, like all the offseason activity 1727 01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:50,439 Speaker 3: really doesn't matter. Like we can get hyped about it, 1728 01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:53,360 Speaker 3: but how many teams have we seen have great off 1729 01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:55,880 Speaker 3: seasons and then it plays out during the regular season. 1730 01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,599 Speaker 3: It typically doesn't work like that. So I love all 1731 01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:00,439 Speaker 3: the fodder now, but it won't mean any thing until 1732 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:00,960 Speaker 3: we kick off. 1733 01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:03,880 Speaker 2: Well, look, they're getting a superstar right now. And I 1734 01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,040 Speaker 2: think with cjstrod what he did, and again I think 1735 01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,080 Speaker 2: the question has to be number one, obviously he's got 1736 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:10,080 Speaker 2: to stay healthy, but number two, can he have the 1737 01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:12,280 Speaker 2: season next year as he had this year? Because maybe 1738 01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,640 Speaker 2: he came on and he was unexpectedly came on, no 1739 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:17,080 Speaker 2: one expected to do what he did. I mean, I 1740 01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,920 Speaker 2: don't know. I mean baseball is a lot different than 1741 01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:22,840 Speaker 2: bad in football because in baseball they talk about the 1742 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,600 Speaker 2: sophomore slump. Guys come in the freshman year, they come on, 1743 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:27,880 Speaker 2: pitchers don't know who they are, then they figure him out. 1744 01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:29,920 Speaker 2: And football, I think is differently. If you got it, 1745 01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:31,600 Speaker 2: I think you got it normally. 1746 01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:34,679 Speaker 3: Yeah you do. But what happens is this, so when 1747 01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:36,360 Speaker 3: you have the love of success that he had his 1748 01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,320 Speaker 3: rookie season, every defensive coordinator has studied every throw that 1749 01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:41,880 Speaker 3: he made last year. They would go and they'll find 1750 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:43,880 Speaker 3: the games that he had poor games. They'll look at 1751 01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 3: those games and then they're trying to replicate those strategies. 1752 01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:48,400 Speaker 3: The other thing that happens is when you were a 1753 01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:50,559 Speaker 3: bad team like the Textans, they played a softer schedule. 1754 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,040 Speaker 3: This year they played the best schedule of anyone in 1755 01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:58,720 Speaker 3: the division. Year two, tougher schedule, more pressure, more expectations. 1756 01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:01,120 Speaker 3: They didn't have to work worry about that last year. 1757 01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,920 Speaker 3: Now that that house money's off the table, then you 1758 01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:06,519 Speaker 3: got to go and do it. And I think a 1759 01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,160 Speaker 3: lot of times the hardest thing is not the climb 1760 01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:13,240 Speaker 3: to get to being okay and competitive, but that jump 1761 01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:17,760 Speaker 3: from good to great is tough. And we'll see how 1762 01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,200 Speaker 3: they're constructed. We'll see if Tamiko Ryan has more in 1763 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:22,760 Speaker 3: his bag as a second year coach. We'll see if CJ. 1764 01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,840 Speaker 3: Stroud can elevate his game. We also see if they 1765 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:30,640 Speaker 3: will be willing to sacrifice their own individual success for 1766 01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,519 Speaker 3: the greater good of the team. When Stefan Diggs comes 1767 01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:35,599 Speaker 3: in and joins the wide receiver room that has Nico 1768 01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:39,800 Speaker 3: Collins and Tank deal All the balls can go to 1769 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,560 Speaker 3: every player, So who's willing to share, who's willing to 1770 01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 3: step back, who's willing to take kind of like some 1771 01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,120 Speaker 3: sacrificial roles to make sure that the team is good. 1772 01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:51,720 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Stefan Diggs again, because I scratched my 1773 01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 2: head to see why the Buffalo Bill's let him go. 1774 01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,719 Speaker 2: He's thirty years old. He has put together six straight 1775 01:24:56,760 --> 01:25:00,400 Speaker 2: seasons with a thousand siving one thousand receiving yards, has 1776 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:02,360 Speaker 2: at least eight touchdowns in all but one of the 1777 01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,400 Speaker 2: last seven years. But he did express and he did 1778 01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,200 Speaker 2: this publicly, did it on some social media accounts, some 1779 01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:11,760 Speaker 2: unhappiness with his usage in Buffalo in the last couple 1780 01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:14,439 Speaker 2: of years, and I heard through the grapevine there was 1781 01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:18,080 Speaker 2: like some tension between he and quarterback Josh Allen. But 1782 01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,519 Speaker 2: I'm not going down that road. But the Bills said 1783 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,439 Speaker 2: at the time they would never be moving away from him, 1784 01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 2: but said the team now was the time. Why would 1785 01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:28,000 Speaker 2: now be the time to move away from their most 1786 01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,759 Speaker 2: productive receiver that I don't get and they got nothing 1787 01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:32,840 Speaker 2: in return. They didn't get a number one guy back 1788 01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,880 Speaker 2: that they trade one second round pick and they're not 1789 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,320 Speaker 2: going to get a wide receiver, number one receiver in 1790 01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:39,120 Speaker 2: the second round. 1791 01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,559 Speaker 3: No, And as much as people talk about this draft 1792 01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:46,599 Speaker 3: class being deep and talented, it is deep and talented 1793 01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,240 Speaker 3: with pass catches, but it doesn't mean there are a 1794 01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:52,000 Speaker 3: lot of number one receivers out there. Stefan Diggs was 1795 01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:56,360 Speaker 3: moved because he and Josh Allen weren't getting along. They 1796 01:25:56,360 --> 01:26:00,120 Speaker 3: couldn't exist in those things. There's a podcast out where 1797 01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 3: there's a writer who follos at Buffalo Bill's Tim Graham 1798 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,719 Speaker 3: talked about after the first game, there's a little spat 1799 01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:12,800 Speaker 3: between Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs, and look, it explains 1800 01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:16,000 Speaker 3: why that relationship fell apart a little bit. But I 1801 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,920 Speaker 3: will say this, you don't have Stephan Diggs on your 1802 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,160 Speaker 3: team and then not have the kind of production didn't 1803 01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:25,519 Speaker 3: stretch without it being a little bit by design. He 1804 01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:27,400 Speaker 3: was tearing up the lead the first nine weeks of 1805 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:30,679 Speaker 3: the season. The last seven or eight weeks of the season, 1806 01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:34,479 Speaker 3: he was a non factor. So you remove him from 1807 01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:37,759 Speaker 3: the situation, all the personnel goes on Josh Allen because 1808 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:39,439 Speaker 3: the public is going to say, oh, we got to 1809 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,120 Speaker 3: get them weapons, we got to do this, we got 1810 01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:43,439 Speaker 3: to do that. Well, Josh Allen is now making Pat 1811 01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:47,240 Speaker 3: Mahomes money, and the expectation should be that Josh Allen 1812 01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,559 Speaker 3: is good enough to elevate those around him, including the 1813 01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:54,080 Speaker 3: past catchers. We will now see if Josh Allen is 1814 01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:57,360 Speaker 3: really as close to Pat Mahome as we kind of 1815 01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:01,639 Speaker 3: project him to be, because when we removed Tyreek Hill 1816 01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:03,680 Speaker 3: from Patrick Mahomes, he comes back and wins back to 1817 01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:06,759 Speaker 3: back Super Bowls. We remove Stefan Diggs from Josh Allen. 1818 01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:08,719 Speaker 3: Let's see how it plays out. 1819 01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,720 Speaker 2: Okay, he had one hundred and seven catches lest year Diggs. Okay, 1820 01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,080 Speaker 2: would it be fair for me to say that that 1821 01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:19,360 Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs may have been the reason that put Josh 1822 01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,920 Speaker 2: Allen's graph on the upswing. We'll see right now. I 1823 01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:25,000 Speaker 2: mean I think that that, and you know as well 1824 01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,240 Speaker 2: as I do that sometimes quarterback can make receivers and 1825 01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,479 Speaker 2: receivers can make quarterbacks. I think Stefan Diggs was the 1826 01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,439 Speaker 2: one that made Josh Allen put him into its second 1827 01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:37,439 Speaker 2: tier of quarterbacks to the first tier of quarterbacks. I 1828 01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:39,040 Speaker 2: really believe he did that to him. 1829 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,880 Speaker 3: He absolutely did it, because those first couple of years 1830 01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:45,479 Speaker 3: Josh Allen really struggled with his accuracy. Stefan Diggs comes in, 1831 01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,040 Speaker 3: Josh Allen games goes to another level. Part of the 1832 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:53,799 Speaker 3: reason is because the veteran receiver understands the offense, understands defense, 1833 01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:55,400 Speaker 3: knows how to get in spots where he can put 1834 01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:58,400 Speaker 3: himself in a position where he can get the ball. 1835 01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,680 Speaker 3: Stepan Diggs did all of that for Josh Allen. Now 1836 01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 3: Josh Allen has to do it for somebody else. We've seen. 1837 01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:08,519 Speaker 3: We've seen this happen a few different times. The quarterback 1838 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,439 Speaker 3: gets paid significant money. You can't keep everybody, and you 1839 01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:13,760 Speaker 3: expect a quarterback to play at a high level. We 1840 01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,280 Speaker 3: will now see if Josh Allen can put this offense 1841 01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 3: on his back and make it happen. The other person 1842 01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:22,639 Speaker 3: who has a lot of pressure Joe Brady, the offensive 1843 01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:25,639 Speaker 3: coordinator who took over for Ken Dorsey. It was all 1844 01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:28,520 Speaker 3: fun and games, but remember we saw him in Carolina. 1845 01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:30,439 Speaker 3: It fell apart and they had to usher him out. 1846 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:34,120 Speaker 3: Now you remove Stefan Diggs, does he have a system 1847 01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:37,160 Speaker 3: in place that allows this team to overcome some of 1848 01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:39,599 Speaker 3: the deficiencies that have we'll see. 1849 01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:43,759 Speaker 2: I did not listen to that podcast. As you mentioned, 1850 01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:48,960 Speaker 2: Tim Graham's podcast Is there any truth that there was 1851 01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:53,280 Speaker 2: a problem between Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs and there 1852 01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:56,519 Speaker 2: may have been a woman involved. Is that possible. I've 1853 01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:58,040 Speaker 2: heard some about that. 1854 01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:00,000 Speaker 3: No, I don't know, but I don't know about it. 1855 01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:01,960 Speaker 3: That part. This was all on field, So like this 1856 01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:05,040 Speaker 3: was all on field about like getting the ball or whatever. 1857 01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:07,000 Speaker 3: Like I don't know anything about their personal lives or 1858 01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,080 Speaker 3: personal why. 1859 01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,439 Speaker 2: But I think that that couldn't move onto the field. 1860 01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:13,120 Speaker 3: I mean that could, that could, But I don't think. 1861 01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:14,960 Speaker 3: I don't think this. I think this is a thing 1862 01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:18,599 Speaker 3: that happens on the field, like something on the field, 1863 01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:22,200 Speaker 3: something after the game, something where Josh Allen and Stepan 1864 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,720 Speaker 3: Diggs get into it and it appeared that they never 1865 01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:30,280 Speaker 3: their relationship never recovered from that. And you know, people 1866 01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,719 Speaker 3: are paying Stephan Diggs to be the bad guy because 1867 01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:36,879 Speaker 3: he left Minnesota with Kirk Cousins. He's now left Buffalo Bills, 1868 01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,240 Speaker 3: so there's a lot on him to prove that he 1869 01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:41,840 Speaker 3: can be a good teammate in those things. But there's 1870 01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:44,280 Speaker 3: even more for Josh Allen to prove that he is 1871 01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:46,760 Speaker 3: what many people say he is in terms of being 1872 01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:48,680 Speaker 3: the only guy, the next guy to be able to 1873 01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:53,240 Speaker 3: challenge Pat Mahomes for supremacy as like that quarterback. 1874 01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:55,439 Speaker 2: Right, But didn't Stefan Diggs come into the locker room 1875 01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:57,920 Speaker 2: after a loss and tell Josh Allen to his face 1876 01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:01,760 Speaker 2: it's only a game and that was a problem. That's 1877 01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:03,760 Speaker 2: the life herds as well. He said, it's only a 1878 01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:05,040 Speaker 2: game after a loss and that. 1879 01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:06,800 Speaker 3: I thought that was I thought that was I thought 1880 01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:07,639 Speaker 3: that was Josh Allen. 1881 01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:09,439 Speaker 2: Josh okay. 1882 01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:15,960 Speaker 3: Josh Allen said, Josh Allen said that, uh, reportedly to 1883 01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:20,679 Speaker 3: Stephan Diggs and as a reply to whatever Stephan Diggs 1884 01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:22,320 Speaker 3: has said to him. But it was a bit of 1885 01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:23,960 Speaker 3: a scene, and it was a bit of a scene 1886 01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:30,680 Speaker 3: after the thing. But I'll say this, players are okay 1887 01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:33,479 Speaker 3: like having hard conversations with one another, but there's a 1888 01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:36,799 Speaker 3: lot of respect that must remain between those two parties, 1889 01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:41,120 Speaker 3: and if it is seen as disrespectful, it can be 1890 01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:45,600 Speaker 3: very difficult to get over that part of it. And so, 1891 01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:49,200 Speaker 3: I mean, evidently they couldn't get past it. We heard 1892 01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:52,280 Speaker 3: the rumblings from Tension and Sean McDermott had had said it, 1893 01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:56,720 Speaker 3: and maybe it was the disgruntle Stephan Diggs that had 1894 01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:59,280 Speaker 3: to get out the building. But it's significant that Brandon 1895 01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:02,759 Speaker 3: being in company, got Stefon Diggs in took minimum in return. 1896 01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,559 Speaker 3: They just wanted him out the building. We now will 1897 01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:08,600 Speaker 3: see how that impacts the rest of the team. Do 1898 01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:11,760 Speaker 3: they have better chemistry? Can Josh Allen develop a better thing? 1899 01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:14,439 Speaker 3: Because when I look at this team on paper, after 1900 01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:18,560 Speaker 3: the exodus of all the veterans over the last few weeks, 1901 01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:20,519 Speaker 3: I can't imagine how this team is going to be 1902 01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:24,400 Speaker 3: at a very competitive level next fall. 1903 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:26,960 Speaker 2: Well, look, he started off like a house on fire 1904 01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 2: last year, as I mentioned, at one hundred and seven catches, 1905 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:32,320 Speaker 2: But the Buffalo offense showed that their offense could thrive 1906 01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:35,479 Speaker 2: even with Digs kind of fading into the background as 1907 01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:37,439 Speaker 2: a season war on. But I got to believe they're 1908 01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:40,360 Speaker 2: going to miss them greatly. And you mentioned the receivers 1909 01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:43,559 Speaker 2: in the Texans organization right now, Nico Collins and Tank Dell. 1910 01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:47,360 Speaker 2: Collins had eighty catches last year for over twelve hundred 1911 01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:50,439 Speaker 2: yards and eight touchdowns, and Dell had a fast start 1912 01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:53,080 Speaker 2: as a rookie. He had forty seven catches, seven hundred 1913 01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:55,400 Speaker 2: and nine yards, had seven touchdowns, but then he had 1914 01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:58,719 Speaker 2: that fractured fibula in week thirteen that ended his season. 1915 01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:00,960 Speaker 2: So you mentioned it early on. There's gonna be a 1916 01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,839 Speaker 2: problem here, Like there's only one football and if Stefan 1917 01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,960 Speaker 2: Diggs doesn't get the football could be a problem. 1918 01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,000 Speaker 3: I mean, you look, he's going down there to be 1919 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,200 Speaker 3: the number one. They're paying him the money. He's going 1920 01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:14,800 Speaker 3: down to be number one. But understand this, young receivers 1921 01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:17,160 Speaker 3: will look up to Stephan Diggs when he came into 1922 01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:19,960 Speaker 3: the league. Tank Dale would look at Stefan Diggs every 1923 01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:22,360 Speaker 3: move and want to learn from him. I don't think 1924 01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:24,679 Speaker 3: it'll be an issue when it comes to the jealousy 1925 01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:27,280 Speaker 3: in those things. Those young guys will want to pick 1926 01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,200 Speaker 3: his brain because he's been a veteran. He's done at 1927 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,920 Speaker 3: a high level for a long time. It's now just 1928 01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:36,120 Speaker 3: a matter of CJ. Stroud managing the expectations and all 1929 01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:38,080 Speaker 3: of those things, making sure that he stays with the 1930 01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:42,120 Speaker 3: progression and doesn't force feed the ball to step on. 1931 01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:45,599 Speaker 3: Because they brought him over and he's making big money, 1932 01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:47,879 Speaker 3: they still have to play within the confounds of the offense. 1933 01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:49,960 Speaker 3: They just have to do a better job of doing 1934 01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,719 Speaker 3: in the chemistry with all with the pieces. 1935 01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:53,599 Speaker 2: Okay, So let's look at Buffalo right now. They got 1936 01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:55,880 Speaker 2: to replace him with the number one target in Buffalo. 1937 01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:57,519 Speaker 2: And I tell you what, it's fair to say that 1938 01:32:57,840 --> 01:32:59,799 Speaker 2: we're looking at the graph right now. We see Buffalo 1939 01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:02,400 Speaker 2: on the down side, and I think the Houston Texas 1940 01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:04,599 Speaker 2: moving on the upside. And we said early on that 1941 01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:07,240 Speaker 2: this team could be a serious contendent for the Super Bowl. 1942 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:09,559 Speaker 2: I can't say that now about the Buffalo Bills. 1943 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:13,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with you. I don't think they're 1944 01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,799 Speaker 3: a serious contender. They've lost too much in the pipeline. 1945 01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:22,120 Speaker 3: Todavius White was a huge loss. You know, lose your 1946 01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:25,920 Speaker 3: number one wide receiver. I mean that's notable. I mean 1947 01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:29,120 Speaker 3: tough losses. Leonard Floyd had played well for you, he's 1948 01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:33,120 Speaker 3: no longer there. You lost a lot, and you're depending 1949 01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,200 Speaker 3: on Josh Allen to kind of put on the cape 1950 01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:39,439 Speaker 3: and save Everybody likes Superman. I don't know if he 1951 01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:41,360 Speaker 3: can keep doing it as he gets old and as 1952 01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:45,880 Speaker 3: the hits take a toll, you're reluctant to put yourself 1953 01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:48,160 Speaker 3: out there like that. We'll see how he plays it, 1954 01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:50,040 Speaker 3: if he still plays with a physical brand or that. 1955 01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:52,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you hit it right on the head 1956 01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:54,240 Speaker 2: and zact like they didn't want to see Diggs go, 1957 01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:56,720 Speaker 2: but I think in the sense that he may have 1958 01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:59,360 Speaker 2: been a distraction. He didn't get along with Josh Allen. 1959 01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:01,560 Speaker 2: You know right now, they definitely want them out of 1960 01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:03,599 Speaker 2: the building. I mean, and they didn't get much for him, 1961 01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,559 Speaker 2: which tells me like, go, you know, get out of here. 1962 01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:12,320 Speaker 2: You're you're more problem than you are a plus, and 1963 01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 2: we just don't want you here anymore. And they did, 1964 01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:16,200 Speaker 2: and they didn't get much for them. So we'll see 1965 01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,840 Speaker 2: what happens now in Buffalo. Not good, It really isn't good. 1966 01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:20,880 Speaker 2: And I'm sure the fans aren't happy about it either. 1967 01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:23,760 Speaker 2: You know, they probably can't fathom the idea that that 1968 01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:26,120 Speaker 2: team's going to be without him. And again, that team's 1969 01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:28,240 Speaker 2: not going to go in here next year. They could 1970 01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:30,120 Speaker 2: be in the situation where they don't make the playoffs 1971 01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:32,320 Speaker 2: next year. I really believe that, especially in that division, 1972 01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:34,040 Speaker 2: tough division, real tough. 1973 01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:38,320 Speaker 3: It's expected to be tougher. But it doesn't look good now. 1974 01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:40,280 Speaker 3: But here's the beauty of it. They have training camp 1975 01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 3: to figure it out. They'll make some moves in the draft, 1976 01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:45,719 Speaker 3: they'll sign some street free agents to get it done, 1977 01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:48,680 Speaker 3: and if the quarterback is what we say he is, 1978 01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:50,120 Speaker 3: he'll find a way to lead the team to the 1979 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:52,320 Speaker 3: winder circle and make them competitive for a playoff. Berth. 1980 01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:53,200 Speaker 3: There we go. 1981 01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:56,000 Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Ferman.

He wants to throw at the bucket Brooks. 2000 01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:49,599 Speaker 2: His name is Rick Rick. Here on Fox Sports Sunday. 2001 01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:52,280 Speaker 2: How are you Rick, I'm doing great. How are you fine? 2002 01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:52,640 Speaker 2: Thank you. 2003 01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:57,679 Speaker 11: I'm Triny Applis. I'm a Ranking fan. The Ranking trading 2004 01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:00,720 Speaker 11: him after he played great. He worked a buff ball. 2005 01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:02,040 Speaker 12: If not goot, he was very good. 2006 01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:03,160 Speaker 11: They created them. 2007 01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:04,200 Speaker 12: It's not a quits. 2008 01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:09,720 Speaker 11: In my opinion, I believe that he's petulant, selfish, distraction 2009 01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:12,160 Speaker 11: and probably pants on the team. So in my mind 2010 01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:14,240 Speaker 11: they're probably better off in the long run. But I 2011 01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:15,880 Speaker 11: just wanted to make that comic. That's I watched it 2012 01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:18,719 Speaker 11: for eight years. However it's been and that's that's my observation. 2013 01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:20,840 Speaker 2: I think the Bills felt the same way. What do 2014 01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:21,880 Speaker 2: you think, buck, don't you? 2015 01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:25,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I mean, like, I mean, you can have 2016 01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:27,680 Speaker 3: that opinion. I think most people always come down with 2017 01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:31,240 Speaker 3: the quarterback. But I'll say this, all those quarterbacks have 2018 01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:33,920 Speaker 3: been elevated with Stephan Diggs being in the building. Kirk 2019 01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:37,120 Speaker 3: Cousins and Josh Allen benefited from Stefan Diggs. They did 2020 01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:41,040 Speaker 3: not elevate Stefan Diggs. Stefan Diggs elevated them. Now, his 2021 01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:43,800 Speaker 3: personality may be prickly, it may take some management in 2022 01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:46,320 Speaker 3: those things, but I can't say that those quarterbacks were 2023 01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:48,880 Speaker 3: better when he left. Kirk Cousins had to have Justin 2024 01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:53,000 Speaker 3: Jefferson come on board. And even then the Minnesota Vikings 2025 01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:56,640 Speaker 3: moved on from Kirk Cousins. Justin Jefferson express some frustrations 2026 01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:59,479 Speaker 3: with Kirk kirk Cousins when it comes to his ceiling 2027 01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:03,120 Speaker 3: and what he could do. We'll see, like here's the thing, 2028 01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:05,639 Speaker 3: Like it's a quarterback driven league. We make the game 2029 01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,519 Speaker 3: about the quarterbacks. Josh Allen will have an opportunity to 2030 01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:11,360 Speaker 3: show us how great he is without Stefan Diggs. Stefan 2031 01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:13,240 Speaker 3: Diggs will have an opportunity to team up with a 2032 01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:16,080 Speaker 3: young quarterback and CJ. Stroud where he can see if 2033 01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:18,280 Speaker 3: he can elevate him. At the end of the day, 2034 01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:21,320 Speaker 3: it'll come out and we'll see this is on Stefan Diggs. 2035 01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:24,320 Speaker 3: It's the third time, the second time he's had to move. 2036 01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:26,600 Speaker 3: It'd be a third team that he's played with. We 2037 01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:28,960 Speaker 3: will see if he is the cancer that he's being 2038 01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:29,800 Speaker 3: reported out to be. 2039 01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:32,960 Speaker 2: And I think to be a pro and I'm not 2040 01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:34,840 Speaker 2: stopping on anybody's toes by saying this, I think you 2041 01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:36,519 Speaker 2: have to be a little selfish. I think you have 2042 01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:39,720 Speaker 2: to be a little selfish, don't you think I mean well, 2043 01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:42,639 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, wide receiver. 2044 01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:45,240 Speaker 3: If you there's not a good wide receiver that has 2045 01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:47,680 Speaker 3: not been selfish. You go back and you look at 2046 01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:50,240 Speaker 3: Jerry Rice, you look at Teo, you look at Randy Moss, 2047 01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:52,559 Speaker 3: you look at the great ones that we've seen. They've 2048 01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:55,240 Speaker 3: all been selfish. They've all demanded the ball. They all 2049 01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:57,800 Speaker 3: are high maintenance in that regard because wide receiver is 2050 01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:00,519 Speaker 3: a position that is dependent upon the play of the quarterback. 2051 01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:04,080 Speaker 3: Without the ball, the wide receiver can do little to 2052 01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:08,360 Speaker 3: impact the game. And so that selfishness is a lot 2053 01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:12,040 Speaker 3: of times not for individual glory. It's because I'm a 2054 01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:14,040 Speaker 3: good player. If you want me to have an impact 2055 01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:16,679 Speaker 3: on the game, I gotta have the ball in my hands, right, 2056 01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:18,519 Speaker 3: That's what it is. I mean, that's that's kind of 2057 01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:23,080 Speaker 3: part of Yeah. I mean, like all of them, the 2058 01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:26,160 Speaker 3: great ones are selfish in that because they feel like 2059 01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:28,000 Speaker 3: they're the ones that can make it happen. You're there 2060 01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:32,040 Speaker 3: in Cincinnati, Jamar Chase asked for the ball Jamar Chase 2061 01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:35,040 Speaker 3: talked about always being open this year, he sat in 2062 01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:38,000 Speaker 3: the locker room and talked about that every wide receiver 2063 01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:40,439 Speaker 3: has that. I mean, they all do that, like that's 2064 01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:43,120 Speaker 3: that's part of the deal. That's what you get when 2065 01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:44,360 Speaker 3: you get a wide receiver. 2066 01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:46,479 Speaker 2: No doubt about that. I got to make mention of 2067 01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:48,720 Speaker 2: this before we do anything else, because tonight's a very 2068 01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:50,720 Speaker 2: sad night. And what do I mean by that? One 2069 01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:52,800 Speaker 2: of my favorite TV shows is going off the air 2070 01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:56,439 Speaker 2: after like twenty five years. Curb your Enthusiasm with Larry David. 2071 01:38:56,439 --> 01:38:58,040 Speaker 2: Do you ever watch that show on HBO? 2072 01:38:58,120 --> 01:38:59,120 Speaker 3: I have here is funny? 2073 01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:02,840 Speaker 2: I love jab Yeah, right, I love that show. And 2074 01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:05,479 Speaker 2: I found this story that I had no idea that 2075 01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:08,840 Speaker 2: Larry David is a pretty big basketball fan and he 2076 01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:12,559 Speaker 2: was watching the games in Boston when Yukon was playing 2077 01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:16,200 Speaker 2: Illinois and the Illinois was down that thirty nothing run 2078 01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:20,000 Speaker 2: that Yukon did on them. Larry David's in the stands 2079 01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:22,280 Speaker 2: and he starts yelling I can just picture him doing this, 2080 01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:25,240 Speaker 2: you can stop coaching now the game is over. He's 2081 01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:27,880 Speaker 2: yelling this at Dan Hurley's just stopped coaching. And then 2082 01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:31,519 Speaker 2: when Larry David saw Donovan Klingon coming off the bench 2083 01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,360 Speaker 2: and about to check back into the game. He started 2084 01:39:34,479 --> 01:39:38,360 Speaker 2: yelling to Curly again, don't put him back in, don't 2085 01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:39,880 Speaker 2: put him back in. And that was the game that 2086 01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:43,200 Speaker 2: Connecticut won, seventy seven fifty two. So tonight's the last 2087 01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:46,280 Speaker 2: Kurby your enthusiasm. But Larry David, we wish you well. 2088 01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:48,720 Speaker 2: But I had no idea that you loved basketball.

JB Smooth on 2095 01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:07,599 Speaker 3: the show has been outstanding. 2096 01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:09,400 Speaker 2: He's doing commercials now jab Smooth. 2097 01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:12,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's just been it's been great, you know, 2098 01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:15,160 Speaker 3: and it would be missed, but the reruns are always 2099 01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:17,680 Speaker 3: there for our consumption, so right, can't be mad about that. 2100 01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:19,760 Speaker 2: There you go. And I talked about a mess, Okay, 2101 01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:21,680 Speaker 2: I'm talking about a mess here with the Dodgers. I 2102 01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:25,760 Speaker 2: mean with Shohea Tani. It just started out obviously an 2103 01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:28,360 Speaker 2: opening day we talked about the four point five million 2104 01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:30,840 Speaker 2: dollar gambling debts, and thanks to his interpreter said he 2105 01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:33,080 Speaker 2: didn't know about it. Now there's a home run situation 2106 01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:36,040 Speaker 2: that's going crazy. Now to talk about a homeown. You 2107 01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:38,280 Speaker 2: go to a baseball game and you catch a home run, 2108 01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:41,000 Speaker 2: The ball legally belongs to you, the fan who caught 2109 01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:43,320 Speaker 2: the ball. And then sometimes when you get the ball, 2110 01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:45,559 Speaker 2: if it's a big time home run like one hundredth 2111 01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:48,759 Speaker 2: or record setting one, you're scoring it from your seat 2112 01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,160 Speaker 2: and the team officials come to you, they speak with you, 2113 01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:52,720 Speaker 2: and they kind of work out a little bit of 2114 01:40:52,760 --> 01:40:54,760 Speaker 2: an agreement, like what are you gonna do. What's it 2115 01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:57,080 Speaker 2: gonna take for us to get this ball back from you? 2116 01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:00,400 Speaker 2: And sometimes, you know, if it's a kid, maybe you'll 2117 01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:04,719 Speaker 2: take a sign in jersey, a hat, a ticket, maybe cash. 2118 01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:07,759 Speaker 2: I don't know, but look it happened over here. Tani 2119 01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:10,559 Speaker 2: hit his first home run with the Dodgers the other day, 2120 01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:14,000 Speaker 2: and Tani hit the ball, it was caught by a 2121 01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:17,839 Speaker 2: woman who was a lifelong Dodgers fan named Amber Roman, 2122 01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:21,160 Speaker 2: and she and her husband were not very happy. While 2123 01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,920 Speaker 2: speaking the other day to the media about how they 2124 01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:26,160 Speaker 2: were treated by the Dodgers after the home run ball 2125 01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:29,000 Speaker 2: ended up in her hands. Okay, she said she was 2126 01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:31,960 Speaker 2: escorted from the stands. She was separated from her husband. 2127 01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to say this, she was separated from her 2128 01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:36,960 Speaker 2: husband and women, please don't take this the wrong way. 2129 01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:39,320 Speaker 2: But I think the Dodgers' staff did this because they 2130 01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:42,040 Speaker 2: figured the husband may have known how much that ball 2131 01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:44,120 Speaker 2: was really worth, and maybe she did not. Do you 2132 01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:46,000 Speaker 2: agree with that, buck? I think maybe that's why they 2133 01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:47,439 Speaker 2: separated her from her husband. 2134 01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:49,920 Speaker 3: I mean, that wouldn't have been cool if they were 2135 01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:52,439 Speaker 3: doing that, like, that's not I mean, it's a family. 2136 01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:57,680 Speaker 2: I think that's what I did. Yeah, because because they 2137 01:41:57,720 --> 01:41:59,639 Speaker 2: pressured her to giving up the ball for like next 2138 01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:02,400 Speaker 2: to nothing, she exchanged the ball for two get this 2139 01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:06,000 Speaker 2: two sign hats, a signed ball and a sign bat 2140 01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:09,120 Speaker 2: now at an auction house. Told the media the next day, 2141 01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:11,439 Speaker 2: I think it was in the athletics that the ball 2142 01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:13,920 Speaker 2: would be worth at least one hundred thousand dollars. And 2143 01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:17,760 Speaker 2: her husband said, and his name is Alex Valenzias said, 2144 01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:20,400 Speaker 2: they really took advantage of her. There was a bunch 2145 01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:22,439 Speaker 2: of security guards around her. They wouldn't let me talk 2146 01:42:22,479 --> 01:42:24,720 Speaker 2: to her or give her any advice. See, there was 2147 01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:26,360 Speaker 2: no way for us to leave. They had her pretty 2148 01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:29,920 Speaker 2: much cornered in the back. So it's not good. It's 2149 01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:31,599 Speaker 2: not a good look for the Dodge, not good look 2150 01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:35,679 Speaker 2: for Atani. Look this guy's making millions, right, Why wouldn't 2151 01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:37,719 Speaker 2: he just say, hey, you know what, give me the ball. 2152 01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:40,320 Speaker 2: I'll give you one hundred thousand dollars. What's one hundred 2153 01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:43,360 Speaker 2: thousand dollars to show tea Tani? Let him do it 2154 01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:45,719 Speaker 2: one hundred grand. It's not a big deal, right, spends 2155 01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:47,400 Speaker 2: more on lunch, I would think. 2156 01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:54,519 Speaker 3: I don't mean. Look, it is common. It happens. It's 2157 01:42:54,680 --> 01:42:57,439 Speaker 3: not supposed they happened like that. You would like to 2158 01:42:57,479 --> 01:43:01,599 Speaker 3: see the Dodgers do it. Make good with the lady 2159 01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:04,960 Speaker 3: to make sure she feels okay about everything. But you know, 2160 01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:06,720 Speaker 3: it's one of those things. But it's also within her 2161 01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:08,760 Speaker 3: right to hold onto that ball. She didn't have to 2162 01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:10,920 Speaker 3: give the ball up. She just said he stairfasting the 2163 01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:12,080 Speaker 3: demands not to give it up. 2164 01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:15,360 Speaker 2: I don't understand how the Dodge could do. This is 2165 01:43:15,479 --> 01:43:18,840 Speaker 2: really a pr blund And now the process have usually 2166 01:43:18,840 --> 01:43:20,679 Speaker 2: with this hat. I've seen it hap it several times, 2167 01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:22,439 Speaker 2: you know, in Cincinnati with the Reds. When there's a 2168 01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:24,800 Speaker 2: big time home run, the fan usually ends up meaning 2169 01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:27,360 Speaker 2: the player with the home run. But even that was 2170 01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,400 Speaker 2: a mess with the Dodgers. Roman and the husband Venezuela. 2171 01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:32,679 Speaker 2: They told the media that they never met a Tani, 2172 01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:37,040 Speaker 2: despite the claims that Tani said they did. This is 2173 01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,920 Speaker 2: a quote from Otani. I was able to talk to 2174 01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:41,840 Speaker 2: the fan and was able to get it back, meaning 2175 01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:44,360 Speaker 2: the ball. And this is what Tani said through the interpreter. 2176 01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:47,000 Speaker 2: You're obviously a new interpreter right now, obviously. 2177 01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:47,360 Speaker 1: Quote. 2178 01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:50,400 Speaker 2: He says, it's a very special ball, a lot of feelings. 2179 01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:52,280 Speaker 2: Taught it his first home one with the Dodgers. Are 2180 01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:55,639 Speaker 2: very grateful that it's back. Okay. And the Dodgers declined 2181 01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:59,200 Speaker 2: to address the Roman and Venezuela grievances beyond the statement 2182 01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:01,320 Speaker 2: they were the state saying they were open to a 2183 01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:04,320 Speaker 2: further conversation. I mean, come on, this is a PR 2184 01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:07,040 Speaker 2: blunder and it's not good. It puts a stain on 2185 01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:10,000 Speaker 2: the Dodgers' organization. And I've always felt really good about 2186 01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:12,479 Speaker 2: the Dodgers, even though they left my hometown, Brooklyn, and 2187 01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:14,920 Speaker 2: I wasn't happy about them leaving. But I'm always always 2188 01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:17,360 Speaker 2: rooting for the Dodgers, except when they played the Cincinnati Reds. 2189 01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:19,920 Speaker 2: How stupid can you be? They should have had this 2190 01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,760 Speaker 2: old plan when his first home run was hit. You 2191 01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:26,360 Speaker 2: give the person some money, some tickets, whatever it may be, 2192 01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:29,280 Speaker 2: an autograph, a picture of Otani, and away you go. 2193 01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:31,920 Speaker 2: And they messed this up big time. On top of 2194 01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:35,479 Speaker 2: the Otani gambling situation. Didn't start off great for the 2195 01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:36,240 Speaker 2: Dodgers this year. 2196 01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:41,160 Speaker 3: It really hasn't, no it certainly it hasn't started off great. 2197 01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:43,280 Speaker 3: And ev Reguard, I mean, he's playing pretty well, but 2198 01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:45,479 Speaker 3: it hasn't started off great. In terms of the PR stuff. 2199 01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:47,360 Speaker 3: We thought this would be a PR machine for the 2200 01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:51,040 Speaker 3: Dodgers a and ATM as we would saying that they 2201 01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:54,320 Speaker 3: would fill out stadiums all over, particularly home, and they 2202 01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:56,600 Speaker 3: make all kinds of money on their guard. They're just 2203 01:44:56,600 --> 01:44:58,200 Speaker 3: going to make sure they show the fans that they 2204 01:44:58,200 --> 01:45:01,240 Speaker 3: care about them. With their situation, just a simple thing. 2205 01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:02,880 Speaker 3: They can make good and they still have time to 2206 01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:04,640 Speaker 3: make it right. They just got to make sure that 2207 01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:06,320 Speaker 3: she feels a part of it. It was one hundred 2208 01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:08,799 Speaker 3: thousand dollars ball. People don't like feeling like they got duped. 2209 01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:11,040 Speaker 3: So that's some of it. 2210 01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:13,800 Speaker 2: There you go. The eye man was told, well, what 2211 01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:17,280 Speaker 2: was that now? Iyeman, you said something about this memorabilious. 2212 01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:19,080 Speaker 14: Yeah, I was just saying that apparently the stuff that 2213 01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:21,719 Speaker 14: she got in exchange for the ball that, like you said, 2214 01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:25,800 Speaker 14: would have been worth one hundred thousand dollars. Apparently collectively 2215 01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:27,880 Speaker 14: the stuff that she got in return was like one 2216 01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:28,639 Speaker 14: thousand dollars. 2217 01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:30,760 Speaker 2: You know, it was worth bup giz. Looked that up. 2218 01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:32,960 Speaker 2: It was worth bup giz, which is nothing. That's what 2219 01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:36,200 Speaker 2: it was worth, really, And I would have kept the ball. 2220 01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:39,360 Speaker 2: I mean that hounded. First of all, I always say this, 2221 01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:41,320 Speaker 2: and maybe I'm way off base on this one. I 2222 01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:43,040 Speaker 2: don't think it's such a big deal as first home 2223 01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:45,840 Speaker 2: run with the Dodgers. Do you big deal hit a 2224 01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:48,400 Speaker 2: home run? I mean maybe I'm nuts. You know what, 2225 01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:51,040 Speaker 2: certain things that everybody makes a big deal about it. 2226 01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:54,120 Speaker 2: I don't. Tomorrow's the eclipse, right, I don't see the 2227 01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:57,679 Speaker 2: big deal of four minutes of darkness.

I don't understand it. But maybe 2237 01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:25,920 Speaker 2: that's me. Maybe there's something wrong with me. I don't know. Bucky, 2238 01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:27,360 Speaker 2: did you get a pair of those glasses? 2239 01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:30,519 Speaker 3: No, I'm never really excited about it.

The Nets 2270 01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:10,639 Speaker 10: were down fifteen with only seven and a half minutes 2271 01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,280 Speaker 10: to go to the Detroit Pistons, but Brooklyn does rally 2272 01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:16,000 Speaker 10: to win. It won thirteen one oh three, seventy six 2273 01:48:16,120 --> 01:48:18,720 Speaker 10: ers continuing to win with Joel Mbid back in the 2274 01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:21,600 Speaker 10: lineup as the big men had thirty points for Philadelphia, 2275 01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:24,880 Speaker 10: who wins at Memphis one sixteen to ninety six. Denver 2276 01:48:24,960 --> 01:48:27,240 Speaker 10: over Atlanta won forty two to one. 2277 01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:27,679 Speaker 12: Ten. 2278 01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:31,920 Speaker 10: The NHL regular season has eleven days left on it. 2279 01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:34,799 Speaker 10: Boston overtime winners against Florida three to two, the Islanders 2280 01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:37,959 Speaker 10: shout out the Nashville Predators to nothing, and the Winnipeg 2281 01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:40,920 Speaker 10: Jets winners at Minnesota four to two. 2282 01:48:41,120 --> 01:48:43,599 Speaker 2: Back to you guys, Kevin, thank you so very much. 2283 01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:46,360 Speaker 2: Have a wonderful day, all right, thanks for being with 2284 01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:48,599 Speaker 2: us now leaving the little guy in the dust that's 2285 01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:51,559 Speaker 2: coming up in a few minutes. And we have the 2286 01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:54,160 Speaker 2: blame game coming up in about five or six minutes 2287 01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:56,720 Speaker 2: from now, so we'll get into that. But just like 2288 01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:59,640 Speaker 2: in basketball, the successful game plan starts with the right players. Now. 2289 01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:02,679 Speaker 2: The tea team at Tractor Supply brings hustle and heart 2290 01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:05,640 Speaker 2: and that's what really sets them apart. So lace up 2291 01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:07,640 Speaker 2: your sneakers and make the winning play by heading off 2292 01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:11,360 Speaker 2: to your local tractor supply store today. Now we talk 2293 01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:14,880 Speaker 2: about this super league. It sounds pretty good, but is 2294 01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:17,479 Speaker 2: it really super? Now? What's the super league? The super 2295 01:49:17,560 --> 01:49:20,960 Speaker 2: league will do away with conferences, and we're talking about 2296 01:49:20,960 --> 01:49:23,759 Speaker 2: college football. They're gonna do away with the conferences. Instead, 2297 01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:29,080 Speaker 2: they could collect all seventy former Power Conference members including 2298 01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:33,080 Speaker 2: Notre Dame and SMU, into one big, top tier league. 2299 01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:37,120 Speaker 2: The other sixty plus members of FBS will join a second, 2300 01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:39,960 Speaker 2: lower tier league. And this is pretty interesting. The second 2301 01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:42,760 Speaker 2: tier teams would have a chance to earn promotion to 2302 01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:45,840 Speaker 2: the top tier, kind of like the European soccer deal. 2303 01:49:46,360 --> 01:49:48,760 Speaker 2: So I kind of like that. It's not bid to 2304 01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:51,320 Speaker 2: throw everybody out there and you know, winner take all. 2305 01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:53,479 Speaker 2: What do you think I like this super league? I do. 2306 01:49:54,800 --> 01:49:58,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, a little relegation, that's what you're talking about. I 2307 01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:01,519 Speaker 3: will say that it College football is going to have 2308 01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:04,880 Speaker 3: to go to something like this because everyone won't be 2309 01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:08,360 Speaker 3: able to pay up and compete in the system the 2310 01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:13,200 Speaker 3: way is presently constructed. It's just too prohibitive for the 2311 01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:15,479 Speaker 3: have nots to be able to fork up the money 2312 01:50:15,520 --> 01:50:18,799 Speaker 3: to get some of the top players. This gives everyone 2313 01:50:18,840 --> 01:50:21,920 Speaker 3: an opportunity to be able to do to kind of 2314 01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:24,120 Speaker 3: get in the mix. It will make it competitive, but 2315 01:50:24,160 --> 01:50:26,000 Speaker 3: it also will make it more like the league. It'll 2316 01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:28,479 Speaker 3: be the minor leagues when you start doing some of this. 2317 01:50:28,640 --> 01:50:32,360 Speaker 3: But I don't know if there's going to be a choice. 2318 01:50:32,720 --> 01:50:37,080 Speaker 3: Once the anti trust stuff claims and stuff hit, it's 2319 01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:39,280 Speaker 3: gonna be an issue. That's gonna be an issue going forward. 2320 01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:42,320 Speaker 2: Well, I tell you right now, when this happens, or 2321 01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:44,600 Speaker 2: should it happen, the players will have a union. Like 2322 01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:46,519 Speaker 2: the basketball players at darbinth they're trying to get they'll 2323 01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:48,519 Speaker 2: have a union or this time, and we talked about 2324 01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:50,240 Speaker 2: this early on the Northwestern trying to do it and 2325 01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:52,400 Speaker 2: they couldn't get it done. It's gonna happen. They're gonna 2326 01:50:52,439 --> 01:50:55,000 Speaker 2: have a union and they'll have a collective bargaining agreement 2327 01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:58,880 Speaker 2: and nil money. I forget about those hangouts because there'll 2328 01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,960 Speaker 2: be incoming labor lawsuits. But they'll get paid. It'll be 2329 01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:04,280 Speaker 2: minor leagues, that's what it is. I mean, maybe forget 2330 01:51:04,280 --> 01:51:06,080 Speaker 2: about going to school. Maybe you don't have to go 2331 01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:08,240 Speaker 2: to school anymore. I mean, just go to the school 2332 01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:11,639 Speaker 2: the school pays you to represent the school in football 2333 01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:14,000 Speaker 2: and don't go to class. Maybe that's what it's gonna be. 2334 01:51:14,080 --> 01:51:14,759 Speaker 2: What do you think? 2335 01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:18,120 Speaker 3: No, I don't like that. I mean some players are 2336 01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:21,639 Speaker 3: like that. But once again I say this, only one 2337 01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:23,320 Speaker 3: percent of those guys are going to go to the pro. 2338 01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:24,960 Speaker 3: So what are they gonna do the rest of their lives? 2339 01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:27,920 Speaker 3: I mean it's great that we live off of them, and. 2340 01:51:27,479 --> 01:51:30,960 Speaker 2: We need people at McDonald's. We need people to work 2341 01:51:30,960 --> 01:51:35,960 Speaker 2: in McDonald the footpam Burgers, we do, we need uber drivers. 2342 01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:39,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would rather see these people take advantage of 2343 01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:42,479 Speaker 3: the opportunities. I mean, you talk about great institutions on 2344 01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:44,760 Speaker 3: an opportunity to get a good education, and yes they 2345 01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:47,960 Speaker 3: should be compensated, but they should also have an opportunity 2346 01:51:48,040 --> 01:51:51,639 Speaker 3: to you know, set themselves up for life after, because 2347 01:51:51,640 --> 01:51:53,599 Speaker 3: football is gonna be a four year deal. Even if 2348 01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:55,680 Speaker 3: you get a chance to play in the league, you 2349 01:51:55,720 --> 01:51:58,280 Speaker 3: still got to spend the rest of your life kind 2350 01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:00,520 Speaker 3: of working and doing something. I want to bective. 2351 01:52:01,360 --> 01:52:03,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, it makes me feel bad 2352 01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:06,080 Speaker 2: because again I never played the game, But if I 2353 01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:08,200 Speaker 2: had it to do all over again, I think I might. Oh, 2354 01:52:08,200 --> 01:52:10,200 Speaker 2: I was afraid. I mean, do you ever meet anybody 2355 01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:13,000 Speaker 2: who was afraid to play? Like you know, classmates of 2356 01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:14,840 Speaker 2: yours that go with you see you know, Bucky, I 2357 01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:17,040 Speaker 2: really I really admire you because you went out there 2358 01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:19,040 Speaker 2: and you get hit every day and you go to 2359 01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:21,840 Speaker 2: practice and you tackle and you get hurt, and I 2360 01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:23,720 Speaker 2: would love to do it, but I'm afraid, and I 2361 01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:26,599 Speaker 2: just I don't know. I just look at the money 2362 01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:29,720 Speaker 2: that's being made, but the potential injury factor, I mean 2363 01:52:29,960 --> 01:52:32,080 Speaker 2: it's there has to be someone that you play with 2364 01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:35,360 Speaker 2: college or pro that was afraid but they still played. 2365 01:52:36,479 --> 01:52:39,840 Speaker 3: Everybody has some fear going in like don't don't be 2366 01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:43,840 Speaker 3: tricked or fool. Everybody has some worry and some doubt. 2367 01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:47,719 Speaker 3: But that's what takes courage. Like courage is being able 2368 01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:50,400 Speaker 3: to admit that there's a little fear, there's a little 2369 01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:54,400 Speaker 3: self doubt, there's a little anxiety that comes along with 2370 01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:57,920 Speaker 3: stepping into the arena, but you still go anyway. The 2371 01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:02,320 Speaker 3: ones who troubled are the ones who never put themselves 2372 01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:05,240 Speaker 3: out there. But there's not a player that steps onto 2373 01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,400 Speaker 3: the field each and every weekend that doesn't have a 2374 01:53:07,439 --> 01:53:10,719 Speaker 3: little fear, a little self doubt, a little uneasiness about 2375 01:53:10,720 --> 01:53:12,680 Speaker 3: the game in which they play, but you love the 2376 01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:14,880 Speaker 3: game so much that you do it. Now, some people 2377 01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:16,639 Speaker 3: can work around and say, hey, I'm just gonna play 2378 01:53:16,640 --> 01:53:18,840 Speaker 3: because of the money, but that's fleeting. You can't do 2379 01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:21,160 Speaker 3: that for so long. The game is too hard. It 2380 01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:24,000 Speaker 3: demands too much for you to do that without like 2381 01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:26,000 Speaker 3: being all the way into it. MM. 2382 01:53:26,560 --> 01:53:29,120 Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear this, I really am. Because as 2383 01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:32,120 Speaker 2: far as like courage, I probably need to go see 2384 01:53:32,120 --> 01:53:34,200 Speaker 2: the Wizard of Oz to get courage. That's what I 2385 01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:36,759 Speaker 2: need to do. I'll see the Wizard like I mean again, 2386 01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:39,960 Speaker 2: I look at it again. The reason why I'm saying 2387 01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:42,000 Speaker 2: this because I'm looking at the amount of money they're making, 2388 01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:44,960 Speaker 2: and that's not the reason to play the game. I mean, 2389 01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:49,360 Speaker 2: it's a great secondary benefit for playing the game, but 2390 01:53:49,360 --> 01:53:50,840 Speaker 2: that's not the reason why you play the game for 2391 01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:53,000 Speaker 2: the money. Especially in the high school. If you're not 2392 01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:55,160 Speaker 2: playing for money, well, maybe you're playing for the hope 2393 01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:57,599 Speaker 2: that one day you will make the money in the NFL. 2394 01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:00,000 Speaker 2: But most of those kids that never make the NFL, 2395 01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:02,080 Speaker 2: you know, if they played Division one college, they're lucky. 2396 01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:06,600 Speaker 2: So money is secondary, it really is. So maybe I 2397 01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:08,320 Speaker 2: still wouldn't do it. I don't know. But did you 2398 01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:09,280 Speaker 2: hear what Fox is doing? 2399 01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:09,559 Speaker 3: Though? 2400 01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:13,360 Speaker 2: Fox is launching now a new postseason college basketball tournament, 2401 01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:19,479 Speaker 2: the College Basketball Crown, with AEG worldwide.

I guess they'll probably be on Fox 2406 01:54:34,320 --> 01:54:37,200 Speaker 2: Sports Radio as well. We'll see. But what this tournament 2407 01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:39,240 Speaker 2: is going to do is put the axe and bury 2408 01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:42,600 Speaker 2: the nit. It's all over for the nit. But that's good. 2409 01:54:42,640 --> 01:54:46,600 Speaker 2: Fox is back in the business basketball basketball business. Nice, 2410 01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:49,360 Speaker 2: there we go.

No, it's your fault. 2427 01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:35,280 Speaker 6: What's is all your fault? 2428 01:55:35,440 --> 01:55:36,120 Speaker 7: It's your fault. 2429 01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:40,240 Speaker 2: Maybe it's everyone's fault. 2430 01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:43,320 Speaker 1: Who knows the liar? That's why there's. 2431 01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:44,600 Speaker 2: The blame game, the blame game. 2432 01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:45,600 Speaker 7: Let's figure out. 2433 01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:46,240 Speaker 3: Who to blame. 2434 01:55:47,360 --> 01:55:50,440 Speaker 14: Blame game, right, the blame game. So first off, we're 2435 01:55:50,440 --> 01:55:53,440 Speaker 14: starting with this. There has been talk that NC State 2436 01:55:53,520 --> 01:55:57,680 Speaker 14: basketball player DJ Burns could get workouts with NFL teams 2437 01:55:57,680 --> 01:55:59,560 Speaker 14: at NC State's pro day next week. 2438 01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:00,640 Speaker 6: Bucky, who do you blame? 2439 01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:06,000 Speaker 3: I blame nflcalfis because we're always looking to find a 2440 01:56:06,040 --> 01:56:08,880 Speaker 3: diamond in the rough. When you see DJ Burns move around, 2441 01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:11,760 Speaker 3: you see his footwork, with that size, you can envision 2442 01:56:11,840 --> 01:56:15,320 Speaker 3: him being maybe an offensive tackle at the next level. 2443 01:56:15,520 --> 01:56:18,120 Speaker 3: That's why you kick the tires on him, because maybe 2444 01:56:18,120 --> 01:56:20,280 Speaker 3: he's not an NBA player, but you certainly would be 2445 01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:22,760 Speaker 3: intrigued if he's available to come and play in the NFL. 2446 01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:25,440 Speaker 2: Andy, you know what, they're making a mistake. I don't 2447 01:56:25,440 --> 01:56:27,440 Speaker 2: think he's gonna play in the NBA. He's got the size, 2448 01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:28,960 Speaker 2: he's got the hype, and I don't think he's got 2449 01:56:29,120 --> 01:56:32,120 Speaker 2: the mobility to play in the NBA. Maybe I'm mistaken football. 2450 01:56:32,200 --> 01:56:33,800 Speaker 2: You know, he never played the game. I don't think 2451 01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:36,640 Speaker 2: so that's a mistake. He should be a boxer. He's big. 2452 01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:38,400 Speaker 2: Who'd want to go in the ring with that guy? 2453 01:56:38,640 --> 01:56:42,040 Speaker 2: That's the mistake they're making. Boxing is his future. DJ 2454 01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:43,160 Speaker 2: boxing boxing. 2455 01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,040 Speaker 14: The three point line in the NCAA attorney was the 2456 01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:50,360 Speaker 14: wrong distance last week in Portland, Andy, Who do you blame? 2457 01:56:50,720 --> 01:56:52,600 Speaker 2: Some moron will put the painting down on the on 2458 01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:55,080 Speaker 2: the on the on the gymnasium floor. But look, I mean, 2459 01:56:55,120 --> 01:56:57,160 Speaker 2: how stupid can you be? Don't don't they give you 2460 01:56:57,240 --> 01:57:00,720 Speaker 2: like a basic a guide. I mean to give you 2461 01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:02,480 Speaker 2: a guideline. They tell you what to do, and they 2462 01:57:02,480 --> 01:57:05,160 Speaker 2: give you the imprint. You just paste it down there 2463 01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:08,040 Speaker 2: and paint over to spray over it. How stupid can 2464 01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:10,960 Speaker 2: you be? Really? I mean I want to see the guy. 2465 01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:13,040 Speaker 2: This is what they should do. They should have like 2466 01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:15,720 Speaker 2: pictures of stupid people, really, and they should have the 2467 01:57:15,720 --> 01:57:18,440 Speaker 2: people that think mistakes in life and post them up there. 2468 01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:20,840 Speaker 2: That's what social media should be for the guy who 2469 01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:23,480 Speaker 2: made this mistake. His pictures should be all over the place. 2470 01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:26,760 Speaker 2: Not guys that rob postf not guys that rob banks. 2471 01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:28,640 Speaker 2: I don't care who robs a bank. I don't want 2472 01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:31,320 Speaker 2: his picture. I want stupid people put him up there. 2473 01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:32,960 Speaker 6: Bucky, you agree with that? 2474 01:57:33,960 --> 01:57:36,640 Speaker 3: I mean that's a lot. I believe that the checks 2475 01:57:36,640 --> 01:57:39,760 Speaker 3: and balances filled them, quality control failed them. That should 2476 01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:42,280 Speaker 3: be something that never happens in the game. You always 2477 01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:44,760 Speaker 3: measure the height of the goal, You always measured the distances, 2478 01:57:44,800 --> 01:57:46,920 Speaker 3: make sure that the painting is right. The fact that 2479 01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:50,600 Speaker 3: you have wopsided three point lines, it's an egregious era. 2480 01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:54,640 Speaker 3: Everyone in the building should be over accountable for all right. 2481 01:57:54,960 --> 01:57:57,960 Speaker 14: The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils opened to 2482 01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:00,320 Speaker 14: their game the other night with a five five I'm 2483 01:58:00,360 --> 01:58:03,360 Speaker 14: brawl the second the puck dropped Andy, who do you blame? 2484 01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:05,760 Speaker 2: I blame the National Hockey League because I think right 2485 01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:07,480 Speaker 2: now the playoffs are right around the corner, they need 2486 01:58:07,520 --> 01:58:09,160 Speaker 2: some hype. I think it's part of the game. If 2487 01:58:09,200 --> 01:58:11,960 Speaker 2: you go on social media, you could buy tape. You 2488 01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:14,760 Speaker 2: could buy tape of hockey fights. No other sport has that. 2489 01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:17,360 Speaker 2: I think hockey thrives on that. The fans love it. 2490 01:58:17,520 --> 01:58:19,200 Speaker 2: But they have a fight at the start of the game. 2491 01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:22,520 Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. There's no reason to fight in the beginning there, really, 2492 01:58:22,600 --> 01:58:24,600 Speaker 2: is it. I mean, unless some guy owed some other 2493 01:58:24,640 --> 01:58:27,040 Speaker 2: guy money, or some guy was with some other guy's wife. 2494 01:58:27,120 --> 01:58:29,160 Speaker 2: That's the only reason you could fight. And five guys 2495 01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:31,480 Speaker 2: aren't gonna fight if two guys are involved. So the 2496 01:58:31,680 --> 01:58:34,000 Speaker 2: National Hockey League did it because they need the hype. 2497 01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:36,800 Speaker 6: Bucky, there was some carryover. 2498 01:58:37,480 --> 01:58:39,080 Speaker 3: The main guy involved had been in a bunch of 2499 01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:41,360 Speaker 3: series of fights, and so they just let this one go. 2500 01:58:41,680 --> 01:58:43,760 Speaker 3: Dropped the gloves at the beginning, got to it, got 2501 01:58:43,800 --> 01:58:46,840 Speaker 3: to that action. I appreciate it. Hockey is the one 2502 01:58:46,840 --> 01:58:48,520 Speaker 3: sport where they let you kind of get to it. 2503 01:58:48,920 --> 01:58:52,520 Speaker 3: I like the goons, and so I'm partial to the goons. Look, 2504 01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:55,240 Speaker 3: we can blame anybody. I blame Gary Bettman because they 2505 01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:56,840 Speaker 3: should do more of it. So I'm gona blame him 2506 01:58:56,880 --> 01:58:58,320 Speaker 3: for not doing it more. They should do it more. 2507 01:58:58,320 --> 01:58:59,080 Speaker 3: I thought it was exciting. 2508 01:58:59,120 --> 01:59:00,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you have a player with the Goon, Bucky. You 2509 01:59:00,920 --> 01:59:02,320 Speaker 2: haven't played with grun your football to me? 2510 01:59:02,440 --> 01:59:04,040 Speaker 3: You got some guys, Yeah, you gotta have some guys. 2511 01:59:04,120 --> 01:59:04,400 Speaker 3: Your name. 2512 01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:07,200 Speaker 2: One name a goon name late Delay. 2513 01:59:07,240 --> 01:59:10,720 Speaker 3: Wayne. The late Wayne Simmons was a Goon linebacker at 2514 01:59:10,720 --> 01:59:12,960 Speaker 3: Green Bay. We also played together in Kansas City. He 2515 01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:15,360 Speaker 3: didn't mind dusting it up a little bit, right. 2516 01:59:15,440 --> 01:59:17,480 Speaker 2: I think DJ at South Carolina might be a goon. 2517 01:59:18,200 --> 01:59:20,240 Speaker 2: He could, he could become a goon. You think. 2518 01:59:21,480 --> 01:59:23,200 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. You got to be 2519 01:59:23,200 --> 01:59:25,320 Speaker 3: built the right way mentally. You gotta be all. 2520 01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:26,840 Speaker 2: Right, You're right, all right. 2521 01:59:27,320 --> 01:59:31,120 Speaker 14: New York State's Transit agency wanted to impose a seven 2522 01:59:31,200 --> 01:59:35,120 Speaker 14: hundred and fifty thousand dollars fee on the NYC Marathon 2523 01:59:35,240 --> 01:59:38,720 Speaker 14: for using the Verizono Narrows Bridge as runners crossed from 2524 01:59:38,720 --> 01:59:41,240 Speaker 14: Staten Island to Brooklyn. So they wanted to charge the 2525 01:59:41,320 --> 01:59:43,720 Speaker 14: runners a toll for money lost while the bridge was 2526 01:59:43,760 --> 01:59:44,280 Speaker 14: not in use. 2527 01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:45,240 Speaker 6: Andy, who do you blame? 2528 01:59:45,400 --> 01:59:48,000 Speaker 2: You talk about people that are tied. We talked earlier 2529 01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:51,200 Speaker 2: today about owners wanted the public to pay for their stadiums. 2530 01:59:51,320 --> 01:59:54,320 Speaker 2: Oh my god, you want that to pay the runners? 2531 01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:57,000 Speaker 2: First of all, you're running in, Jim, Jim Schwartz. There's 2532 01:59:57,000 --> 01:59:58,920 Speaker 2: no pockets. We ain't gonna get the change to pay 2533 01:59:58,920 --> 02:00:01,200 Speaker 2: for the toll. I don't get it, you know. Now, 2534 02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:04,000 Speaker 2: I think they're doing a deal where there's a double 2535 02:00:04,040 --> 02:00:06,080 Speaker 2: deck of Bridge of Arizona. So maybe one deck will 2536 02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:08,560 Speaker 2: be for runners and one for the cars. Are you 2537 02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:11,480 Speaker 2: kidding me? How cheap can you be? New York State? 2538 02:00:11,640 --> 02:00:12,280 Speaker 2: How cheap? 2539 02:00:13,200 --> 02:00:15,960 Speaker 3: Fucking? I mean, I understand it.
