1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports, all right, they don't belong together,

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: and that's coming right out. Good morning, everybody. This is

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Sunday. He is Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman,

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: and away we go. Buck. How are you? What's going on?

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: How was your week? My friend?

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 2: Everything is great, man, I cannot complain another great week,

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 2: uh spinning down in New Orleans at the HPCU Legacy

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: Ball So it's been It's been fun watching another generation

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: of players get ready to make a jump to the

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: NFL possible.

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: You know, how was that by the way, you know,

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: because you're talking about the HBC and then the relationship

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: between the talent there and maybe a school like an

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: Alabama or a Big ten, Big twelve school.

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: Look, it's always different, but I would say this is

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: the best group of kids that we've seen from HBCUs

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: show up. There plenty of athletes that will have an

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: opportunity to go. Doug William, Shack Harris and the crew

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: did a great job putting.

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 3: On a great event. So I was just happy to

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: be a part of it.

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to go back in time that

23
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: HBCUs and when Grambling like dominated college football at least

24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: at their level. What happened, you know, Eddie Robinson coach

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Grambling and then he left, and then all of a sudden,

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Grambling left. I mean, they left the scene. You don't

27
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: hear about oc about them anymore. What exactly happened to Grambling, Well, what.

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: Happened to a lot of HBCU's integration When.

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: Like predominantly white institutions allow black athletes to come onto

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: their campuses and play, it changed the landscape. And so

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: all of the talent went from HBCUs historically blackouts and

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: universities to then kind of filtering all throughout the rest

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: of the country at some of these bigger schools and

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: so like HBCU's were a little bit left behind. And

35
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: so even though there's great talent there, it's been drained.

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: So the kids that normally would have gone to Grambling

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: back in the day when they weren't allowed to play

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: at Alabama and Auburn and LSU and then the see

39
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: they're now kind of dispersed amongst the sec and so

40
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: what it's done is kind of weaken what exists on

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: APCUS in terms of rosters and those things.

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: And so it's a matter of just having the NFL.

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: Recognized there's still great talent at AHBCUS and trying to

44
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: give those guys opportunities.

45
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: You know, really and truly looks like that the hpc

46
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: us all beyond the eight bol twice number one integration

47
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, and now number two nil name image likeness.

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm not so certain those schools can compete with some

49
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: of the schools, the Big ten, Big twelve, whatever it

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: may be, because they may not have the backers to

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: give these players the money that they want to play

52
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: at that school.

53
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's all a part of it, you

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like not only talking about nil,

55
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: you talked about resources and access to funds and those things.

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: It's just a different landscape. But it's still a landscape

57
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: where NFL teams and scouts should pay attention because there

58
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: are players that can play at that level. They just

59
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: recently inducted Anti but he's going to be into twenty

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: twenty four Black College Hall of Fame class. Antonine Play,

61
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: a two time Super Bowl champion, multiple time Pro bowler,

62
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: played at Howard University before I spend a long time

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: with the Indianapolis Colts and San Francisco forty nine ers,

64
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: So they're.

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: Still great players there.

66
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 2: It's just about being intentional about making sure that those

67
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: guys get opportunities and.

68
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: Looks all right, Bucket Brooks, I'm not going to hide

69
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: anything from you. I got a confession to make. Are

70
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: you ready? I got my hand on my heart all

71
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: right here has I would not leave my home to

72
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: walk or travel five miles to watch a women's basketball game.

73
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: However I never did. However, Thursday night of this past week,

74
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: I drove one hundred and thirty miles from my home

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: to Bloomington, Indiana, to see Caitlin Clark play. I would

76
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: play Indiana, all right, she has that. I guess that magic.

77
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to see her play. I wanted to see

78
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: her play in person, and Indiana's at that far from

79
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: my home, so I went there. I saw her play.

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: They lost, and every time I watched them play, they lose.

81
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: They lost times, and I've seen they lost three times totally.

82
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: They lost on TV against Wisconsin. I watched that they

83
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: lost against that Ohio State. I watched that they stormed

84
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: the court, and I went to Indiana. I saw them

85
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: losing Bloomington, but they didn't storm the court at least

86
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: in Bloomington, So that was good. So I saw her

87
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: over seventeen thousand people. The atmosphere was unbelievable, and I

88
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: looked at her in person, and I went to the

89
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: postgame news conference. The whole deal. It looks like she

90
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: weighs eighty pounds buck. Really she needs to got to

91
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: put on some way. But she was physically beat up

92
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: in that game. She's a great scorer, she had no

93
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: help on offense. And after the game was over and

94
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: they lost, they lost by about seventeen. The coach said, well,

95
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: you know, there was no help. And I asked a

96
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: couple of questions in the postgame news conference. I said, look,

97
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: you know Indiana played a box and one on Caitlin Clark.

98
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: Were you ready for that? Did they do that when

99
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: you play them in Iowa? Because she beat up by

100
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: thirty when you played them in Iowa. She said, no, no,

101
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: we were you know, it was just a stu. And

102
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: the questions that these media people ask, oh my goodness,

103
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: it's like they didn't even have to beat at the game,

104
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, really and truly. But here's and the coach

105
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: came back and said, well, you know, we didn't shoot

106
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: that badly. Because Gabby Marshall was one for two for

107
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: threes on three point shot. I say one for two,

108
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: why is she taking only two shots? So it was

109
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: an interesting situation. But the point I want to make

110
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: here is she's a great scorer. She had no help

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: on offense. She's a great pairson. Here's the deal. She's

112
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: approaching LUs. She's Pete Marrivige's college GRIZ scoring record, and

113
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: it's not fair because it's a comparison of apples to oranges.

114
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Maravich had three thousand, six hundred and sixty seven points.

115
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: He played three years because the freshman warrant eligible. When

116
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: he played, he averaged forty four point two points a game.

117
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: There was no three point shots. So here's the deal.

118
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Marivich would have something like forty six hundred points if

119
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: they counted a three point play when he played. If

120
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: he was allowed to play four years, he'd have like

121
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: six thousand points. These names should not be together, And

122
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm not real happy with the fact that they say

123
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark is approaching the all time college record. She's

124
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: approaching and she's won the all time female record, not

125
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: the old time college record. Agreed.

126
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I think at this point, what they're

127
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: doing is they're just talking about the game of college

128
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: and all records are made to be broken, and even

129
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: though Pete Marrivich's record will kind of stand alone just

130
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: given the circumstances in which he achieved it. Look, man,

131
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything wrong. We're kind of lumping

132
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark's achievements and accolades into one, meaning like having

133
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: the crossover between women's and men's sports, particularly basketball, just

134
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: because it's about putting the ball in the hole and

135
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: scoring in those things. But I think, look, I think

136
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 2: it's a wonderful conishment. I think it puts more attention

137
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: on the women's game. The women's game is really flourishing

138
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: and thriving, as we can tell by the ratings. So

139
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: it's Look, it's nice, but I don't think it is

140
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: the same kind of comparison in terms of, you know,

141
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: the way that she was able to dominate the women's

142
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: game versus the way that Pete Marriviage dominated the men's

143
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: game at a time. But it is kind of fun

144
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 2: to look at what she's doing in comparison to what

145
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: the leader of the man's has also done.

146
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they shouldn't be together. I mean they shouldn't

147
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: even be in the same sentence. I mean Maravich and

148
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark. You know, it would be like a Kareem

149
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: Abdul Jabbar's record, he's the all time leading scorer in

150
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: the NBA if he was challenged by a WNBA player,

151
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: which will never happen. I don't think some of close

152
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: to the amount of games played in the WNBA. He

153
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: do only play thirty thirty two games a year. But

154
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: let's say there was a WNBA player who played like

155
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: twenty five years and approached his point record. You can't

156
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: compare it.

157
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: It.

158
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: It's the silliest thing I've ever heard of, and I

159
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: don't know why it's even talked about. And then to

160
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: talk about silly things, you got Jay Williams from the

161
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: Four Letter Network saying that, you know, in order to

162
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: be the goat, you have to win a title. Oh

163
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: my goodness, where's that coming from? In order to be

164
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: the goat in the sport you have to win a title?

165
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I mean that's like saying, in

166
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: order to be a Hall of Famer, you have to

167
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: be a title winner. Look at these great players who've

168
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: never won a championship in many sports and they're in

169
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Oh my god, you know where's

170
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: Jay Williams coming from. He played the game. He should

171
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: know better than Matt Oh my goodness.

172
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I mean, look, I think some of

173
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: this is like ring culture has been populated because that's

174
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: the only way to find some kind of thing to

175
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: distinguish like the greats.

176
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: The greatest have ever done it.

177
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: So if you can't always compare like points, rebounds, assist, well,

178
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: then it has to come down to how many games

179
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: did your team win, how many rings did you win?

180
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: What part of the championship culture have you been. It's

181
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: more of a recent phenomenon when we talk about the

182
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: obsession rings, because people talk about Jordan and Lebron, but they.

183
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: Don't talk about Bill Russell.

184
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 2: So it's just another in the long line of criteria

185
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: that we've placed upon the greats to try and separate

186
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 2: who's the greatest of the greats.

187
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: It never used to be that way. I mean, it's

188
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: all about rings now, as you mentioned, it's all about championships,

189
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: and I don't care. I mean, look, I'm going to

190
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: go back and look in the NFL. I mean, you

191
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: gotta go like Eli Manning, he won two championships as

192
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: he could you consider him a goat? I don't think so.

193
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: These are the great teams and they want two super Bowls.

194
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: So you got two rings, but you wouldn't even mention

195
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: his name as a goat. And he may even be

196
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer because of those two rings. That's

197
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: the situation. You got the rings. That's a good opportunity.

198
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: That's gonna be entrance into the Hall of Fame. You

199
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: played with guys buck, You play with guys that you

200
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: know maybe should have been Hall of famers or great

201
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: players that may be Hall of famers, but they're not.

202
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: They're not goats. I mean, and they could be a

203
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: goat even though they hadn't won a title. I don't

204
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: understand where where this comparison comes from. You know, judge

205
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: me on what I've done, how I played, on my statistics,

206
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: that's it. Don't judge me as what my team did.

207
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: Judge me what I did. That's what it's all about, right.

208
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it is about like what your team did.

209
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: But we have to also be able to include you

210
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: in that, right, Like I mean, what we try to

211
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: do is evaluate individuals.

212
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: Within the context of a team sport.

213
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: And whenever we got to the goats and those things, like,

214
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: you're trying to figure out what is the criteria that

215
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: we can use to separate the the greatest of the greats.

216
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 2: And look, it's not fair to anybody because in a

217
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: team sport, like, yeah, you play a part in it,

218
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: but you're not wholly responsible for where the team wins.

219
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: But we have to find something. We have to find something.

220
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: To separate it so we can create debate and conversation

221
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: and all those things.

222
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: You know, give me an example. I mean, if Steph

223
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: Curry had never won a title with Golden State, would

224
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: he not be considered the gold because he's the greatest

225
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: shooter of all time? I mean, obviously one of the

226
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: titles has helped and give him the notoriety that he

227
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: plays on a great team and he's the greatest shooter

228
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: on one of the greater teams that has played in

229
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: the NBA. But if they had not won titles, you know,

230
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: maybe Steph Curry wouldn't get the accolades that he's getting.

231
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: I just don't understand this situation where people who were

232
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: in the media should know better these are somewhat pseudo journalists.

233
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: They should know that to be a goat you have

234
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: to have records and titles, and then it doesn't make

235
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: it look I think Caitlin Clark is one of the

236
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: greatest female players to play the game. Is she to goat?

237
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not gonna go down that road.

238
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: There's been great players, you know, Cheryl Swoops and these

239
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: great players. But what she has done to vitalize the game,

240
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: to expose the game, I mean, to have sellouts, you know,

241
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: the Big Ten tournament for women right now was sold

242
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: out thanks to her. Really, she has done more for

243
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: college basketball men and women this year than anyone else.

244
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: Does that make her of the goat? I don't know,

245
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: And I don't like to throw that term out loosely

246
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: because I think goats should be judged after people retire.

247
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: Perhaps maybe that's when you judge a goat.

248
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 2: Maybe, I mean, you know, but like I mean, we're

249
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: gonna be in a comparison business.

250
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: That's what we do.

251
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 2: Like we love to compare and contrast and kind of

252
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: way and banter about which one is the greatest.

253
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: And she certainly deserves to be up there.

254
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: She's in amount rushmore of gross basketball players that have

255
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: ever done it. I think Cheryl Miller, and I mean,

256
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: you've got so many other great players. They took about

257
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: Breonna Stewart and Dana Tarassi and on and on and on.

258
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: It can be in that conversation right now, we're always

259
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: prisoners at the moment when we're seeing things unfold right now.

260
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: But she has certainly brought a lot of attention to

261
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: women's basketball rightly so, her talents are amazing and it's

262
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: fun to watch her play just because her solid play.

263
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: You know, really and truly, and I'll leave it with this,

264
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: you know the fact that we're talking women's basketball, because

265
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: I promise you, for the last three, four or five years,

266
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: I could take every show that's been on Fox Talk

267
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio. I don't think anybody has talked

268
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: women's basketballs. I think the fact that we're doing that

269
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: thanks to her would put her up as a possible goat,

270
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: because I think the term gold means greatest of all time.

271
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: What you have done totally statistically, team wise, and what

272
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: you've done for the game, and what she's done for

273
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: the game really to me is second to none. I

274
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: have not seen anyone do this magic to the game

275
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: of basketball men or women in the last five, ten,

276
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: fifteen years, but really not, I mean on the college level,

277
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: I can't think of anyone who has given college basketball

278
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: metal women this jolt that she's done.

279
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: I mean, she certainly has brought a lot of attention

280
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: and her game has allowed more people to tune in

281
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: the way that she played last year in the Final four.

282
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: All that stuff is amazing. She does a lot of

283
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: credit for bringing the attention and for dominating the sport.

284
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: And it's light and we're just kind of continue to

285
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: see where she takes it, how she continues to raise

286
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: the bar for women's sports.

287
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Well said, and look, I never thought I'd ever lived

288
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: to see the day that I see women's basketball on

289
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: primetime network television. And that's what it is. It's been

290
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: on FS one, it's been on Fox Sports, It's been

291
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: all over the place, and it's you know, I enjoy watching.

292
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: And you've mentioned to me how many times that you

293
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: really enjoy watching women's basketball as well.

294
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: I do because a bunch of my friends coach women's hoops,

295
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: so I've always been a fan. I love seeing how

296
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: the game is exploded on a national scene.

297
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: Oh really do they coach on the college level too.

298

Speaker 2: Yeah, well, my best friend coaches at Elon, and I

368
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: go to the phones. Jared and South Dakota on Fox

369
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: Sports on the Hello Jared.

370
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 9: Hello, good morning. I wanted to call in you guys

371
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 9: have been talking about the Caitlin Clark, Pete Merivitch, all

372
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 9: these comparisons, and Bucky, you can talk about this a

373
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 9: little bit more because you've played the game. Why is

374
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 9: it that we have to compare people so much? I mean,

375
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 9: you've got different eras where there's no way to possibly

376
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 9: know who the better player is. You got people from

377
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 9: back in the game where women's sports wasn't even recognized

378
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 9: as an actual college sport yet who probably were some

379
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 9: of the best players of all time that can't even

380
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 9: get recognized because they just happen to be born in

381
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 9: the wrong time in history. I don't like that.

382
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I mean, look, I think what has happened

383
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: as media shifted, We've become one that loves to compare

384
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: and contrast our favorite players. We love to site who's

385
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: the best. We love to have the conversation about the

386
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 2: goats and those scenes. Because Kaylyn Clark has dominated women's

387
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: basketball the last few years, and because she knocked down

388
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 2: that scoring mark, I think it's natural to cast out

389
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 2: to the men's game and see, well, how far is

390
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: she away from matching that? And so even though we

391
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: can't have, you know, Kaylyn Clark go one on one

392
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: against Pete Maravich, like, what it does is it creates

393
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: another layer of conversation to add some context.

394
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: To the remarkable achievement that she's already done. That's all.

395
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: And that's why we do the compare and contrast thing,

396
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: no different than Lebron and MJ or Kobe or any

397
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 2: of those scenes. We love the contrast and comparis so

398
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: that we can recognize and appreciate the greatness of all

399
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: those in the conversation.

400
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: Now, wait a minute, Jared, let me interjected for a second.

401
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking that you're like a bit of a

402
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: hypocrite because you're saying that comparison. You compared me to

403
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. How on the hell do you know I

404
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: didn't play the game? Did you know that I'm in

405
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: the new York City Stickball Hall of Fame. Did you

406
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: know that? All right, I'm just letting you know, so

407
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: watch would you say and do your homework? All right?

408
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 9: Hey, I like that stickball is a is a fantastic sport.

409
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 9: But I just want you guys to know. I work

410
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 9: at the airport every Sunday morning. I'm I'm shuttling people

411
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 9: around and you guys just really really make my Sunday.

412
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 9: So I appreciate it.

413
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what, you better up your scale

414
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I'll tell you what would we

415
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: make your Sunday? Oh my god? All right, we move

416
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: on to Jeff Jeff in Las Vegas. You're on Fox

417
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: Sports Sunday with Bucket Brooks. How you doing, Jeff?

418
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 10: Hey, I'm good. I'm just wondering, how do you compare

419
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 10: my Clark to someone like Zion Williamson. I mean, he's

420
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 10: doing off for women's college basketball, but he said it

421
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 10: was the most type thing in all of college basketball.

422
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I never even mentioned Zion Williams said,

423
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know where you're going to here?

424
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: What do you I think what he's saying is just

425
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 2: in terms of the hype and how much attention she's brought.

426
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: So he's saying that Zion brought a load of attention to.

427
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: The Yeah, because she was off aweight, that's he got

428
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: his own attention attention.

429
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: No, that's how much that his dominance was. I think

430
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: the difference is his dominance was short lived.

431
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 3: I mean he was there for a year.

432
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 2: He didn't stay long enough to kind of put up

433
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: these historic marks to Kaitlyn Clark. So yes, he was

434
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: kind of a bleep more so a flash in the

435
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: pan on the collegiate level, where she's had staying power.

436
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: She's been in the conversation the last two years in

437
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: terms of being one of the best players that we've

438
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 2: ever seen in the college game.

439
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: And here's what I fear about Caitlyn Clark. As great

440
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: as she's been in the college game, she's gonna go

441
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: to the WNBA Bolima. She will not dominate that. I

442
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: just thought, unless she bulks up a little bit. She's

443
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: too thin. And I saw what they did. I saw

444
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: what Indiana did to her. They just outmuscled her, outfizzled her.

445
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: And it was sad to see that she was on

446
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: the floor several times just bangling her around. She needs

447
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: to beef up a little bit and in that game.

448
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: In the WNBA, I see her dominating. She'd be a

449
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: good player, But I don't think she dominates in the WNBA.

450
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: Should she go after this year, I think that she

451
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: stays in Iowa. Why, she'd probably make more money with

452
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: NIL and Iowa. Don't she'll make playing on the WNBA.

453
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: I mean, quite possibly, But I think it's great for

454
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: her to be able to have the option to go

455
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: if she if she wants to stay and play at

456
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: Iowa another year, if she wants to go the nf

457
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 2: I mean did look the WNBA. Pro sports are always

458
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: different because you don't know how the game would change

459
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: for her.

460
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 3: You don't know her game would translate.

461
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 2: What accommodations the team would have to make for her

462
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: to be successful, Meaning do they have to run her

463
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: off picks? Or is she talented enough to get her

464
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: own shot off against some of the elites, even though

465
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: we see her do it all the time in college,

466
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily mean it's going to translate to the same

467
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: kind of success as pros.

468
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: Okay, since we're talking about basketball here, did you watch

469
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: the NBA All Star Game last Sunday? And if so

470
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: worry your thoughts about that game.

471
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I watch bits and pieces of it, but look,

472
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 2: I'm this when it comes to All Star games and

473
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: Pro Bowls and everything. I think what the public, the

474
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: public that's critical of these games wants, They'll never get

475
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 2: that again. It will never be the competitive contest that

476
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: was of our youth and heyday. It will not be

477
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 2: the All Star game that Major League Baseball had back

478
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: in the early seventies and eighties. It won't be the

479
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl that we saw up until like the mid nineties,

480
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: where it's.

481
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: Very physical and players really cared.

482
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: Same thing with the NBA, and part of the reason

483
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 2: is because these guys already are making so much money,

484
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: that is the reward worth the risks? Am I going

485
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 2: to be rewarded for risking it all during an exhibition game?

486
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: An All star game? Will I get? You know?

487
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 2: Is it worth putting myself in jeopardy for those things?

488
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: I know that happens in it in the Pro Bowl,

489
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: because you made it through a full season.

490
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: The last thing you want to do is.

491
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: Get injured in an All Star game that doesn't have

492
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: any legitimate meaning. Same thing for the NBA, and Edwards

493
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: certainly made some controversy with his comments post game of

494
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: the ALSAR game, but like I mean, some of his truth.

495
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: It's gonna be hard to get a very competitive game

496
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: when guys are protecting their own self interest.

497
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the over under that game was three fifty eight.

498
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: The over was surpassed in that two eleven one eighty

499
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: six final. And I say, so what, these are the

500
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: greatest athletes in the world. I love watching I watched

501
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: the game, and the backlash, at least on social media

502
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. It really was. And I'm with you. I mean,

503
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's never going to be like the Major

504
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: League Baseball NFL that they're all diminished. All these All

505
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: Star games are diminished. Why because some money and because

506
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: the potential injury unharmed to these athletes.

507
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: You know what.

508
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: I liked it, And I think the highlight of the

509
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: weekend was not the All Star Game. It was the

510
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: three point shooting contest. And I don't know why Steph

511
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: Curry was not in there. Damian Lillond wins it, but

512
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: Steph Curry is the best three point shooter in the league.

513
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: I think it wasn't even in that they had him

514
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: going against the female from the WNBA, which I don't understand.

515
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he should have been perhaps in both at least.

516
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't know about the NBA All Star Game. Let's

517
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: everybody put the brakes on for a second. Back up.

518
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: It's an exhibition. These guys are great athletes. I love

519
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: watching him play, the dunks, the mid air shots and

520
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: the passing. It's great. There's no defense, of course not.

521
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: It's an exhibition. That's what it's all about. If you

522
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: get that. But I guess people are quick to slop

523
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: people around and be negative and just comment you don't

524
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: like it, turn it off, all right. I enjoyed it

525
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: because I like watching the NBA. I like watching these players.

526
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: They're great players. That's it. And I'm with you, Bucket.

527
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: They're not gonna play They're not gonna play defense, not

528
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: gonna try real hard because there's no need to because

529
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: if they get injured, there goes the season. That's what

530
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: it's all about. All right, Well, fine, put a period

531
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: that one baby, all right, we go on. This is

532
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Sunday. He's Bucky Brooks and Andy thro And and

533
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: by the way, coming up next on Fox Live for

534
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: the Tyrock dot Com studios. This could be a for

535
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: college athletics. That is next, but first, Kevin Wyatt with

536
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: OLEO Sports.

537
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, we actually had some news break overnight in Major

538
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 11: League Baseball, ESPN the first to report that free agent

539
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 11: Cody Bellinger has agreed to a three year, eighty million

540
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 11: dollar contract with the Chicago Cubs. As for the action

541
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 11: in college hoops on Saturday night, all eyes in Winston

542
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 11: Salem because Wake Forest upset number eight Duke eighty three

543
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 11: to seventy nine. But it wasn't the game that everyone's

544
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 11: been talking about. It's what happened afterwards. Fans stormed the

545
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 11: court and Blue Devil star Kyle Philipowski suffered a knee

546
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 11: injury in a collision with one of the fans who

547
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 11: was on the court after the game. So we'll see

548
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 11: how the NCAA and various conferences choose to handle rushing

549
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 11: the court going forward. Other action in the college ranks

550
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 11: Number two Houston winners at number eleven Baylor in Waco

551
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 11: eighty two to seventy six, and Baylor had a chance

552
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 11: to win it at the free throw line, but I

553
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 11: missed a key one late in regulation ended up going overtime.

554
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 11: In the Pac twelve, the Arizona Schools facing the Washington

555
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 11: Schools first. It was the fourth ranked Wildcats beating Washington

556
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 11: ninety one seventy five. Arizona moves into first place in

557
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 11: the PAC twelve Number twenty one Washington State, on the

558
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 11: other hand, they were upset by the Arizona State Sun

559
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 11: Novels seventy three to sixty one. TENTHRCK North Carolina. They

560
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 11: put on a defensive masterpiece against Virginia, winning a fifty

561
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 11: four to forty four. The Cavaliers had just six points

562
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 11: through the first fourteen minutes of this contest. It was

563
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 11: the exact opposite. In the SEC big matchup of two

564
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 11: ranked teams Number seventeen Kentucky, number thirteen Alabama. The Crimson

565
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 11: Tide were all alone in first place in the SEC

566
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 11: until Saturday, as number seventeen Kentucky wins in a ROMP

567
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 11: one seventeen to ninety five eighteenth rank Saint Mary's. They're

568
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 11: still perfect in the West Coast Conference at fourteen to zero.

569
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 11: After convincing eighty eight sixty two win against San Diego

570
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 11: in the NBA, the Celtics have now made it eight

571
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 11: straight wins. They beat the New York Knicks one sixteen

572
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 11: one h two behind thirty points from Jalen Brown Timberwolves

573
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 11: over the next one o one eighty six, and the

574
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 11: Magic beat the Pistons one twelve to one oh nine.

575
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 11: College football, Eric the Enemy has just been hired as

576
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 11: UCLA's new offensive coordinator by their new head coach, Deshaun Foster.

577
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: Back to you, guys, thank you. Kevseying about an hour.

578
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: By the way, it's long overdue. We'll get to that

579
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: in just about a minute. He's Bucket Brooks on Andy Furman.

580
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio, and

581
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: we got this Bucky in about eight nine minutes for

582
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: an now, but this is pretty big news. A preliminary

583
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: injunction could be a boot for college athletics and college athletes.

584
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: Whereas I mean, a federal judge ruled this on Friday

585
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: that the Anti DOUBLEA cannot cannot enforce its name, image

586
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: and likeness rules that block student athletes from negotiating deals

587
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: with boosters. Now that ruling now will allow those athletes

588
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: in the recruiting process or even in the transfer portal,

589
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: to negotiate NAI nil deals without breaking Anti Double A.

590
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: I think it's great and I'm got to run this

591
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: by you. But because you're involved, You're a college athlete

592
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: at the Great North Carolina University. Look, why have people

593
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: argued all these years they shouldn't get paid they're getting

594
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: a free education. And I'm saying, wait a minute. You know,

595
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: band members get a free education. These people that get

596
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: academic scholarships, they get free education. But these athletes are workers.

597
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: They put in time practice, year round. I mean, they

598
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: give up so much social life, travel things like that.

599
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: Plus they bring so much into the school by selling merchandise,

600
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: selling tickets, getting the team and the school exposure on

601
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: television or whatever it may be. Why was that argument

602
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: so long and so hard that they shouldn't get paid

603
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: because they're getting a free education. I thought that was

604
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: so stupid form the get go.

605
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was very stupid in terms of like.

606
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: Why people are so upset about the money begin to

607
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: trickle in on the student athlete side. When you go

608
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: back and you look at history, there are a lot

609
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: of people that have lined their pockets on the backs

610
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: of student athletes, performers on the field or the hardwood.

611
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: And I would say, in particular football and basketball, the

612
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: driving forces when it comes to college athletics. They're revenue

613
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: producing programs and a lot of times they uplift and

614
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 2: uphold like some of the non revenue sports that you

615
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: have on campus, whether it's track, baseball, swimming, tennis, all

616
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: those other things. Like a lot of the funds from

617
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: what have been derived from the basketball teams contributions, the

618
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: football teams contributions go to sustaining those programs. But it

619
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: also has helped a lot of people around the game

620
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: become rich. You look at the exorbitant salaries of head coaches,

621
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: you look at administrators, athletic directors, and all the money

622
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: that those guys are clocking.

623
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: That's significant.

624
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: And then when you look and think that, oh, we

625
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: can't give some of the players a little piece of

626
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: the pot. Now, it doesn't make sense. And what is

627
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: happening in front of our eyes. You are seeing the

628
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: way that we look at sports in terms of like

629
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: NCAA student athletes, the notion of amateurism, that is all

630
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: going by the wayside, and we have to make sure

631
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: that we're comfortable whether it's going to look like going forward.

632
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: The transfer port of popping all this other stuff is

633
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 2: just a different thing, and it makes it very very

634
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: hard to attach, but students should have the opportunity.

635
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: To cash in on their name, image and likeness and.

636
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: Their contributions to the game because they have really elevated

637
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: the sports world, no.

638
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: Doubt about that. And before the ruling on Friday, athletes

639
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: only athletes that are enrolled at a school can make

640
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: NIL deals, whether with a collective or a booster. And

641
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: now the NCUBA came out after this and they said, hey,

642
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: we're not against athletes getting paid, but they did say

643
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: that the ruling is going to make things more chaotic,

644
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: you think more chaotic in the college Landscoff, of course

645
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: you created it. I don't know how many people sat

646
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: down to create nil. But really and truly you got

647
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: to go back to the drawing board and fix it

648
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: up because it's not good, it's not healthy. You know

649
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: what basically is right now is the fact that back

650
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: in the day, there were beg men that gave athletes

651
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: or potential student athletes a ton of money to attend

652
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: the school and that was illegal. Now the same begman

653
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: could go out there and give them money and it's legal.

654
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about.

655
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 8: Really, Yeah, I mean it.

656
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 3: Is a lot like that.

657
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying it is a lot like

658
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: now you have legalized they call it a pay for

659
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: play and those things, and I'm hoping that after a

660
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: while it kind of comes back to the norm in

661
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: terms of how we go about doing our.

662
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 3: Business, who's making what in those things. But right now

663
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 3: it's oide of control.

664
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a lot of stuff going on when

665
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: it comes to like people jumping in and out the portal,

666
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: players demanding more money at any time. You don't have

667
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: the kind of regulation that you normally have in these situations,

668
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: so it's become a bit of the wild wild West.

669
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so let me ask this question. Say Bucky Brooks

670
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: playing football, University of North Carolina. You're doing well, you

671
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: got some nal money coming in all of a sudden

672
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: the boost from Texas. A and M calls you up.

673
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: What gets to you somehow some way and says, look,

674
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're making enough Carolina. If I'm

675
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: going to give you a million dollars to come to

676
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: A and M. Is that the situation where we see

677
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: right now? Could that happen? And I'm sure it is happening.

678
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: Is that what it's all about?

679
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 3: I mean, for some it is that.

680
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: I think everyone has different intentions when they're in when

681
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: they're at college, and some of it is about, hey,

682
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: just show me the money right now. Others are about

683
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: the opportunity. Some of them more about a I'm playing

684
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: for my favorite school. So depending on your intentions, you

685
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: will make decisions based on where your compass is. For me,

686
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: that wouldn't have been a thing because I love North Carolina.

687
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: That's the only place I wanted to go because I

688
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: grew up as a Tario. But for others, yeah, they

689
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: will the kind of way to pros and cons and

690
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: what benefits them now in the short term versus long term,

691
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: and they'll make those decisions based on those you know,

692
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 2: based on their intent Speaking.

693
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: Of those, Carol, North Carolina, I got to believe this

694
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: is this is a true story. I got a Christmas

695
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: card in the mail this week from It's Matt Brown.

696
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: It was dated December twentieth. I don't know why I

697
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: got it this week. The mail must be really big.

698
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: Maybe became Pony Express, I don't know, but I got

699
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: this big envelope that said North Carolina Tar Hills on

700
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: the outside. It was handwritten. He always hand writes to

701
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: the envelopes. I opened it up. Have a great holiday season,

702
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: Coach Brown. I mean, so, I don't know why I

703
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: was gonna put it on Twitter and send it to you,

704
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: but no big deal. But I don't know why I

705
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: got it now. It's the date of December twentieth on postage.

706
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: So but he remembered me, So that's great. So I'll

707
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:29,719
Speaker 1: write them back.

708
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: But it's always better to be remembered, right.

709
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: No doubt about that, you know. And let's get back

710
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: to this for a second. You know, people assume that

711
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: it's football and basketball, but you know what this girl

712
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: Olivia done of LSU gymnastics. She's one of the wealthiest

713
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,239
Speaker 1: NIL athletes, I guess in the country. So it's just

714
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: not basketball and football. But I guess it's not even

715
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: the sport. It's the I guess, your contacts that you make.

716
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how to get it done. I mean,

717
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: if you were starting now buck and you went to

718
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: North Carolina, how would you start to sell yourself a nil?

719
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: How does it work?

720
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: I think the number one thing is you got to

721
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: be really good at what you're doing. I think is

722
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 2: no different than pro athletes looking to expand and build

723
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: upon their brand. Well, the best way to expand your

724
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: brand is to be a really good player at whatever

725
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: sport you're doing, and people appreciate greatness, they appreciate excellence

726
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: and dominance, and then you expand it from there. But

727
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 2: you got to keep the main thing the main thing,

728
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 2: and what you do within your sport should.

729
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: Be the main thing.

730
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: You pour everything into that, you see how great you

731
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 2: can take it, and then the deals in those things kind.

732
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 3: Of flow as you get closer to greatness.

733
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: But I don't think you can come in necessarily with

734
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: a plan and hey, I'm gonna use this brand.

735
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm this kind of brand you got to market me.

736
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 3: I think it.

737
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 2: Adds layers to the process to just only complications to me.

738
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: There you go. He's Bucky Brooks. I may the firm A.

739
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: We are Fox Sports Sunday of Fox Sport's ready right now,

740
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: It's time for the pro Yes, Bucky Brooks asked, Bucky

741
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: is next?

742
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 3: You're listening to Fox Sports?

743
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: Ask Bucky? Coming right up? Okay, he's Bucky Brooks. I'm

744
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: Andy froman and we are alive from the Ti Rock

745
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: dot Com studios, and away we go. It's time to

746
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: ask Bucky. Let's do it all right, Bucky. Your take

747
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: on fans storming the basketball court after a win. LSU

748
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: was just find one hundred thousand if they went over Kentucky.

749
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: Last week and yesterday, Duke's Kyle Philipowski was heard at

750
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: Wake Forest. What's your take on this storming the court?

751
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I think something should be done about it.

752
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 3: I think it's silly. I think it's unsafe. You can't

753
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 3: control it.

754
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 2: And even though the overwhelming majority of the kids who

755
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: storm the court and rush the court are doing in

756
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 2: celebrate celebratory fashion, Uh, you put your players to product

757
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 2: at severe risk of being hurt.

758
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 3: To me, they should outlaw it.

759
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: Let the players get into the locker room and then

760
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: the fans can have at it, but don't allow them

761
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 2: to rush the court and have interactions with players that

762
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 2: can result in the injuries that we saw.

763
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: Well said, you know, as I mentioned, I was in

764
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: Indiana Thursday and then had to see Indiana play Iowa

765
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: women's basketball. Indiana won the game, and I said to myself, oh,

766
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: my goodness, they're going to rush the court. But they

767
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: had security people all around, and it's very difficult to

768
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: rush the court in Assembly Hall and Bloomington so there

769
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: was no rushing of the court, thank goodness Thursday night

770
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: in Indiana. Now next a rule that should go, and

771
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: maybe it shouldn't go. Coaches getting fined for criticizing officials

772
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: in postgame news conferences.

773
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 2: I think you should be able to kind of have

774
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: open dialogue and if officials are sensitive enough where they

775
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 2: hear those things and it makes them upset, they didn't

776
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 2: need to be tougher. But I think coaches should have

777
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: the ability to call out officials if they feel like

778
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 2: some of that impacted them, some of the rules whatever.

779
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: They should be healed accountable.

780
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what's worse a coach calling out an official

781
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: or basically if you go to a game you see

782
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: an instant replay on the replay board and you see

783
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: that the official umpire was that's wrong. What's worse? I mean,

784
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: I got the baseball games and they show to replay

785
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: where the umpire calls the guy out and certainly he

786
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: was safe. So I don't know what the big deal is.

787
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: Let the coaches call him out, and I don't think

788
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: they should get fine. We move on, all right. There

789
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: was a foul ball hit off the bat of Cincinnati

790
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: Red's Ellie de la Cruz during batting practice in spring

791
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: training just the other day, and it reached a nearby

792
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: parking lot where it found the window of Hunter Green,

793
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: the pitcher, his car, and it broke his window, and

794
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: Green said, you gotta pay for it? Does he have

795
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: to pay for it? And should he pay for it?

796
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: Should Ellie Dela Cruz pay for the broken window?

797
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? Know, he should play for the broken window, Like

798
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 3: if you do it, you should do it.

799
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: Just come a courtesy like that support of the deal,

800
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: like whether you want to or not, like you should

801
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 2: extend that and just kind of move on. But you

802
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: can't be involved in someone's window being broken but not

803
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: want to participate in repairing it.

804
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 8: No way.

805
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: If I'm Hunter Green and I'm pitching, I go to

806
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: I said, look it's number one, Ellie, you parked over there.

807
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: That's the dangers of parking your car there, because the

808
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: parking lot's pretty close to the field. Number one, number two.

809
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: Don't even come at me and say I gotta pay

810
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: for it. All I did was pitch it.

811
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 3: You hit it.

812
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: And number three, what about your insurance? Maybe it's not insured.

813
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I would think insurance cover it.

814
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: He can help it is deductible, right, I'm with you there,

815
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: all right, maybe the team, maybe the entire team, will

816
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: chip in for the broken window. I don't know, but

817
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: I thought it was a cute story. Okay, Nil, we've

818
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: touched on this earlier today. Nil. There good for it

819
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: and the bad of it, the good of it and

820
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: the band of Nil.

821
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 3: I would say.

822
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: The good is guys in there getting some money that

823
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 2: will help them have a better overall college experience in

824
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: terms of having money, where so many players before them

825
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 2: didn't have an opportunity to have money, couldn't work jobs,

826
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: couldn't do a bunch of different things.

827
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 3: So that is great.

828
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: The bad of it is it's made all these teams

829
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: for it's very individual, and it's made the game a

830
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: transactional game as opposed to a transformational game.

831
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 3: Transactional in the sense.

832
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 2: That you have a bunch of kids who are making

833
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: business decisions.

834
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 3: When it comes to going to college, as.

835
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: Opposed to going to school to yeah, have the fun

836
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: and all the stuff that you should have fun as

837
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 2: being an athlete, but also going to school to go

838
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: to school.

839
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: I worry about that part of being lost.

840
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: You know. I never thought of it in that way.

841
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: And they say it makes it more of an individual game.

842
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: Do you think, and you're pretty close to the college

843
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: game watching these kids play all the time and scouting,

844
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: do you think that there's kind of a riff sometimes

845
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: on a team because one guy is making more than

846
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: the other, maybe they're playing the same position. Is that possible?

847
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: Does that hurt? And that that could create a guy

848
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: to go into the portal and want to leave maybe? Right?

849
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely can create a divide, And that's why it

850
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 2: has to be talked about. You have to talk about

851
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 2: trying as a team. You try and set some standards

852
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 2: and criteria for how much you're gonna pay, what you're

853
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: willing to go up.

854
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 3: To in those things.

855
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: And even though it may not be an official rule,

856
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: it's an unwritten rule and you kind of operate like that.

857
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's created.

858
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: It's made it an even tougher dynamic in the locker

859
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: room because you have nil, which is giving these kids

860
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: a bunch of money, which also relates to power. And

861
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: then you have the portal where guys are jumping in

862
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 2: and out at any time without repercussions or consequences.

863
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 3: Man, that's a lot. That's a lot to deal with.

864
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 3: It really is.

865
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: That's why coaches are living, I believe. Okay, Last, but

866
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: not least, your take on coaches that blast their players

867
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: in public through the media at postgame news conferences. You know,

868
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: these are nineteen twenty year old kids and they're getting

869
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: ripped by their coach nationally, maybe on TV news conferences

870
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: or in the media, newspapers, whatever it may be. What's

871
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: your take on a coach doing that.

872
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 2: Well, my take on it is not bad if it's

873
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: an honest opinion. I mean, if I'm asked a question

874
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: about what happened tonight and my replies, hey, we didn't

875
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: play well, so and Sutch didn't box out well, we

876
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: didn't shoot well, all those other things, I don't find

877
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 2: that being an issue.

878
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 3: I said.

879
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 2: Whatever I'm more concerned about is if they're demeaning players

880
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 2: in practice. If you using things to kind of tear

881
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 2: away at this self esteem, that's one thing. But if

882
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: you're just being honest, given honest responses to questions should

883
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: mean iss you.

884
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,400

899
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: how are you?

900
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 3: I'm good Andy? What's going on?

901
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: You sound great? You really do? You look even better?

902
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: But we move on because we talk about the NFL.

903
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: The NFL, as you know, never sleeps. It's there all

904
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: the time. Is twenty four to seven, three sixty five.

905
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: That's what makes it so great, that's what makes it

906
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: the number one sport in the world. Even though we

907
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 1: have like a dry spell on Sundays. Now, I don't

908
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: know what to do. I don't know what to do,

909
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: and so what do you do on Sunday? Now? I

910
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: used to like sit in front of the TV set

911
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: and watch games from one o'clock easton to like eleven

912
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: o'clock at night. What do you do now?

913
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: Trying to figure it out? You know, I mean, I

914
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 2: think I think the adjustment. Last week was the first

915
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 2: weekend and we had the all start game, and so

916
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: just trying to figure out, try and figure out what

917
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 2: sports program is coming on to replace those things? Is

918
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 2: there anything they can find of interest? But yeah, it's different, man.

919
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,439
Speaker 2: The National Football League dominates the landscape, and when it ends,

920
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 2: it ends abruptly. Yes, it's gonna be tough. I'll try

921
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 2: and find maybe some NBA games too.

922
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 8: Well.

923
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: Today one o'clock easton Petland clock's playing again. I was

924
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: playing Illinois. I'll watch that at one o'clock easton. So

925
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: other than that, I don't know what else to do.

926
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not watching exhibition baseball games. That I'm

927
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: not doing hard. They watch regular season baseball games. I'm

928
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: not gonna watch exhibition games. I just listen a baseball

929
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: on the radio, the TV baseball unless I'm in there

930
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: in person. On television, it just doesn't do it for me.

931
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: It's too too slow. I need action, need action.

932
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 3: Buck yeah, Well, it's a little too early for me

933
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 3: to get into it. You know. I kind of like

934
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 3: to wait for the races.

935
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: To heat up a little bit before I fully invest

936
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 2: the time and energy into it.

937
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 3: I keep up with it, but it's different. You know.

938
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 2: There are a few sports that kind of captivate the

939
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: American public's mind, like football. So everybody is looking around

940
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how you feel that void, which

941
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 2: is why the Pro Bowl in those things, despite everyone

942
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: hating it, it still draws a number because we love

943
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 2: anything tied to football.

944
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: May have to turn to the UFL next month.

945
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, probably, Yeah, I think that.

946
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 3: I think that could be. That could be in play

947
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 3: for you.

948
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. Okay, so we're going to talk

949
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: about the NFL because now up next is the Conboine.

950
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: The Combine's tremendous is the biggest test, I guess for

951
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: college plays. I'm sure you were in the combine. You

952
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: were a member of the common Did you go?

953
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 3: I did go?

954
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: Can you tell us what it told about? Do you

955
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: get to be invited to go? Well? How does it work?

956
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 2: Well, if you're a prospect, they're committees that vote and

957
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: they send a list and they submit a list to

958
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,479
Speaker 2: the Combine, and the Combine invites maybe over three hundred

959
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: and thirty players to come work out. And it's more

960
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 2: than the workout. It's the official interview of the National

961
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 2: Football League. And so you spend your day doing a

962
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 2: bunch of medical testing, a bunch of cognitive testing, a

963
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: lot of interviews with teams and scouts, coaches and the like,

964
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 2: and then the final part of it is the workout piece.

965
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 2: And based on how you're doing all of those battery

966
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: of things, it could impact positively and negatively your total

967
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 2: school when it comes to determining whether you're a draftable

968
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 2: player or not.

969
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 3: And so there are a lot of things going on.

970
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: A lot of it is about the medical and the

971
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: kind of completing of the background info more so than

972
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: the field world workouts. But the field workouts certainly matter,

973
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 2: but it's more about the medical stuff and what're you're

974
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: able to glean on their background.

975
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: Okay, say you're a top ten pick, you know you're

976
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: going to be drafted. You know, a senior in college,

977
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: you're a top ten pick. What's the advantage of going

978
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: You could only hurt yourself because if you know you're

979
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback and you're going to get drafted

980
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: in the first round, maybe at number two, three, four

981
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: pick whatever it may be. Why go what's that? And honestly,

982
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: I never understood what's the advantage? Why do they give

983
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: you the broad jump and all those What does that

984
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: have to do with things?

985
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 3: Well?

986
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 2: The testing, So we talk about comparing contrast. All those

987
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 2: athletic drills have been done for years, and so you're

988
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 2: able to compare and contrast those who have participated well

989
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 2: in the event versus those that haven't. Size wise, you

990
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 2: able to build prototypes.

991
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 3: What are the guys, How big are they.

992
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 2: If they prototypically play in the National Football League?

993
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: By position?

994
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: How fast did they run, how far did they jump,

995
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 2: how did they jump?

996
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 3: All those other things.

997
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: So everything has a reason, and you know people don't

998
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 2: like this, but some of that explosiveness or athleticism does

999
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: translate well to the National Football League.

1000
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 3: And what you're trying to do is find.

1001
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 2: A way to put all the data analysis in a

1002
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 2: bucket so you can sort out and make good decisions.

1003
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 2: And so it's just a part of being able to

1004
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: sort out to make good decisions on who are the

1005
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 2: prospects that you think will be successful for your team.

1006
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: No, I may be mistaken, but hadn't I read somewhere

1007
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: recently that they think they may be doing away with

1008
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: the Combine soon. Is that true?

1009
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: They may be moving it away from Indianapolis, Like that's

1010
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: been a conversation in the last couple of years. Just

1011
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: don't know, you know, the more it becomes a TV show,

1012
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 2: with the NFL having major NFL NFL network having major

1013
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 2: interests and broadcasting it, the more that they have to

1014
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 2: change it and rearrange it and make it entertaining television

1015
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: as opposed to just.

1016
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: The kind of content that's there for the hardcore fans. It's,

1017
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 3: you know, somewhere in between, trying to figure it all out.

1018
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Now I've mentioned this many times. I'll mention it

1019
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: again that not only did you play the game and

1020
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 1: you coach Dan, you personnel guy and scout. You write

1021
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: for NFL dot com on every Friday, your columns up there.

1022
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: Go to NFL dot com and look on the writers

1023
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: and scroll down to Bucket Brooks. He's the handsome one

1024
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: and the picture there now and this week he wrote

1025
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: the top ten draft prospects. How did you know we're

1026
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,479
Speaker 1: going to go through some of your top ten here.

1027
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: But how did you know these guys at the top ten?

1028
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: What were your qualifications to do that?

1029
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if they're top ten.

1030
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 2: I think they're the guys who could rise the most,

1031
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 2: and not like how I see them like numbers one

1032
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 2: through ten. I think these guys that can rise up

1033
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 2: as they get through the process as we started.

1034
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 3: To dig down deeper. So that's what it was.

1035
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: So it's guys that we've heard their name, but we

1036
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: haven't necessarily paid close enough attention to them to know

1037
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: if they're worthy of being in that conversation's top ten guys.

1038
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I understand because at number one with self at

1039
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, because everybody has their eyes on that,

1040
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: you got JJ McCarthy there that you and you're in Michigan,

1041
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: so you know, obviously Caleb Williams is everybody's number one pick,

1042
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: but you got JJ McCarthy, And why would you be

1043
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: put JJ McCarthy is like your number one guy in offense?

1044
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: Well, he's number one just because like he's the guy

1045
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 2: who got the potential to rise the most in this

1046
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 2: process when you look at his career at Michigan, I

1047
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 2: mean he's won a lot of games, and quarterbacks are judged.

1048
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 3: On the ability to win games. He's done it, He's

1049
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 3: done it in a.

1050
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 2: Managerial role, so there's some concerns about is he talented

1051
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 2: enough to do it?

1052
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 3: And much like you talk.

1053
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 2: About the debate that people have with Brock Perdy, is

1054
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 2: it the system or is it the player, some of

1055
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 2: that will go when it comes to JJ McCarthy. The

1056
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 2: combine will be important because if he's able to kind

1057
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 2: of separate himself from others with the sheer arm, talent,

1058
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 2: his athleticism to go with what he's displayed in terms

1059
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,479
Speaker 2: of instincts, awareness, leadership ability. I mean, you talk about

1060
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 2: a guy that is a top ten prospect or franchise

1061
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 2: caliber prospect, but a lot of it will be determined

1062
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 2: based on how he performs at the combine, how he

1063
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 2: doesn't workout.

1064
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: Okay, let let's get a little deeper here. With JJ

1065
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: McCarthy six y three, two hundred and two pounds. You

1066
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: say his career was twenty seven to one of Michigan

1067
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: national title of Michigan manage that offense and you say

1068
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: he's a dual threat. I guess he's got a good

1069
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: arm and he makes every throw you see in the book,

1070
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: but he needs more opportunities. So obviously this combine is

1071
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: a very important test for him. Would he could he

1072
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: be a top ten pick? I think the position obviously

1073
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: merits that, But is he a top ten pick.

1074
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 3: He could be? I think there's still to be determined.

1075
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 2: There's a lot of mystery about JJ McCarthy in his game,

1076
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 2: just because of the way that he played, the way

1077
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 2: that Harvard utilized him, how they leaned in the running game.

1078
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 2: You never really saw this offense operate with him as

1079
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 2: the centerpiece. Doesn't mean that he can't do it, but

1080
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 2: it's more subjective now. Yeah, but I think he certainly

1081
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 2: has a chance to be able to go up in there.

1082
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be one of the guys

1083
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 2: that we talk about making a huge rise.

1084
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 3: Of the charts.

1085
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: And we've seen a lot of guy who have not

1086
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: played a lot of college football kind of falter and

1087
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,959
Speaker 1: fail at the next level. In the NFL, We've seen

1088
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: a guy who is basically the last guy picked in

1089
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: the NFL draft and kind of went to the Super

1090
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: Bowl this year with the San Francisco forty nine ers. Now,

1091
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy has only had twenty eight career starts at Michigan,

1092
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: lack of experience playing the game. How difficult is it

1093
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: going to be for him to make the jump to

1094
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: the NFL.

1095
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 2: Oh, it's going it's gonna be a challenge. It's gonna

1096
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 2: be a challenge because he hasn't played enough, Like twenty

1097
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 2: eight games isn't enough to.

1098
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 3: Really know what he's going to be.

1099
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 2: But what you're banking on if you make him a

1100
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 2: high pick is that he has outstanding tools, he has

1101
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 2: great instincts and pedigree, and that he's going.

1102
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 3: To develop into that. Because of that.

1103
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 2: I think he might be a guy that's a candidate

1104
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 2: to be what we call a red shirt. Come in,

1105
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 2: sit watch develop, and then as he gets better on

1106
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 2: the practice field, then give him a chance to kind

1107
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 2: of get into game action.

1108
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 3: But I don't know if he's a guy that can.

1109
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 2: Come right in from the field and week one be

1110
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 2: the starter. We've seen how Pat Mahomes and those guys

1111
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 2: benefited from sitting down. We've seen how Jordan Love benefited

1112
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 2: from kind of serving an apprenticeship before he got a chance.

1113
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 2: Maybe JJ McCarthy, in a perfect situation, maybe that is

1114
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 2: the way for him to.

1115
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: Go Okay, let's move to the running back position for

1116
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,720
Speaker 1: a secon and you mentioned the term that the running

1117
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: back position has been devalued in recent years. I'm going

1118
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: to challenge that statement that you said because I think

1119
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: that coaches still realize it's a valuable position. I think

1120
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: it's devalued as far as they're worth and money, but

1121
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: I think as a coach is concerned, it's a very

1122
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: important aspect of the offense. Right.

1123
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 2: Oh, look, it's a huge part of the offense, and

1124
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 2: the best teams know that and they find a way

1125
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 2: to make sure that the running back is part of it.

1126
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,240
Speaker 2: People didn't like this, but Greg Roman talked about imagine

1127
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert with a running game in LA and part

1128
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 2: of the reason the running game is important because it

1129
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 2: dictates how the defense has to play. You have to

1130
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 2: kind of drop more people to the box and that

1131
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 2: creates big play opportunities. In the passing game, the running

1132
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 2: back is still a big part of it. But for

1133
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: the running back to be effective in today's game, he

1134
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 2: not only has to be able to do it as

1135
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 2: a runner, but he has to be an essential piece

1136
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 2: to what you're doing in the passing game, meaning he's

1137
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 2: either a great in pass protection, or he is a

1138
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 2: slippy enough route runner that he can create mismatches in

1139
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 2: the open field. No longer can you get away with

1140
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 2: like the old school back that just kind of does

1141
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 2: everything just on first and second now plunging between the tackles.

1142
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 2: You have to be able to do something on the perimeter.

1143
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 2: You got to be able to do something in the

1144
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 2: passing game.

1145
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: And you like Jalen Wright, the Tennessee junior, the running

1146
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: back there, and you say that basically he's like a

1147
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: home run hitter with speed to burn.

1148
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 3: He absolutely has speed to burn.

1149
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,240
Speaker 2: This is guy that in high school was an indoor

1150
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 2: track and field champion in the fifty five meters. So

1151
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,720
Speaker 2: you know that he's impressive, short, very quick, instant speed,

1152
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 2: and he's done it and flashes. You've seen the big

1153
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 2: plays that he's had at Tennessee, but he just hasn't

1154
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 2: done it consistently or over a long period of time.

1155
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 2: But in the National Football League, you kind of like

1156
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 2: that he doesn't have wear and tear on the body.

1157
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 2: You kind of think that's something that is going to

1158
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,479
Speaker 2: help you down the road because he's fresh, his legs

1159
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 2: are there, and it won't be a factor in terms

1160
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 2: of just being worn down as a young pro player.

1161
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 1: Now, how surprised you're going to be if you see

1162
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: a running back drafted in the first round and normally

1163
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: back in the day, I mean, you've seen running backs

1164
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: as a number one pick. That has not happened in

1165
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: a long time. And we haven't even seen running backs

1166
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: basically in the first round. We see more alignment drafted

1167
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: in the first round than running backs. Will there be

1168
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: a running back drafted in the first round this year?

1169
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 2: No, I don't think there'll be a running back drafted

1170
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 2: in the first round. And that's just indicative of the

1171
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: talent that it brings about. Not that these guys that

1172
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 2: we're talking about, it's not about them not being talented.

1173
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 2: It is about are they talented enough to be what

1174
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 2: we call game changers, like elite level players. You think

1175
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 2: about the guys that have been drafted in the top

1176
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 2: top ten of late Ezekiel Elliott, Christian McCaffrey, those guys had,

1177
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 2: I mean a tremendous amount of impact. Was they could

1178
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 2: do saw Barkley like all of those things. And so

1179
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 2: it's one of those things where you want to make

1180
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 2: sure that the players can do that and right now

1181
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 2: I see guys that are more role players, more guys

1182
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 2: that can contribute to rotations as opposed to kind of

1183
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 2: being the guy that comes in and just makes it happen.

1184
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: Okay, let's end up here with the wide receiver because

1185
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: these are the positions people go crazy over and they

1186
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: get them in their fantasy football leagues. Number one receiver

1187
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: University of Oregon, the junior Troy Franklin. This guy had

1188
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: twenty three touchdowns in the upper catch with sixteen yards

1189
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: per catch. This guy could be somewhat dominant. Was he

1190
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: sixty three, pretty good size, and he was a killer

1191
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve. This guy probably will be a

1192
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 1: first round pick somewhere in the first round.

1193
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 3: Thing.

1194
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 2: Well, he's a borderline first round pick. Yeah, as we

1195
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 2: get into it, there're gonna be some guys that view

1196
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 2: him as the first round pick. And you have to understand,

1197
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 2: whid receiver position is probably one of the deepest that

1198
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 2: we've seen, and it's going to continue to be deep

1199
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 2: just because of the way that the game has evolved,

1200
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 2: the way that look, the way these guys get exposed

1201
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 2: so early to the game, like they just have an

1202
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 2: opportunity to do so much because they are catching balls

1203
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,919
Speaker 2: at an earlier age, running rouse and doing it. Troy

1204
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 2: Franklin is one of those guys that is a big

1205
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 2: time threat. He's a home run hitter. He makes it happen.

1206
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 2: He's done it over the last year in terms of

1207
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 2: just making big plays, creating chaos.

1208
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 3: On the perimeter. That's why I think he has a

1209
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 3: chance to be one of those guys that we hear

1210
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 3: in the first.

1211
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 1: Round, right And these are the guys that people are

1212
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 1: gonna watch basically during the combine because I think the

1213
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: combine could either make or break these guys. I would think,

1214
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: according to what you're running right now, I'm really interested

1215
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: is JJ McCarthy because you know in all these mock drafts,

1216
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: I haven't seen his name really early on in the draft.

1217
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: But if he has a good combine, that could really

1218
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: push him up pretty good, couldn't.

1219
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 3: It, I would say right now.

1220
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy's been a guy who has been kind of

1221
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 2: rated in the middle of the first round anywhere from

1222
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 2: ten to twenty. Has been has expected kind of calling

1223
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 2: where he be expected to hear his name Paul. But

1224
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 2: when you look at his game and you study him

1225
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 2: and we look, we're obsessed with winning, and we know

1226
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: that three guys are going to go pretty early, could

1227
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 2: be the first three picks.

1228
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 3: In whatever order.

1229
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 2: Kayln Williams, Drake May, Jayden Daniels. Well, the fight is

1230
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 2: for who's number four, Who's the guy that could be

1231
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 2: the fourth person to kind of step up in there

1232
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 2: be a first round pick, because we know that we love,

1233
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 2: we absolutely love quarterbacks, and we love taking our shots

1234
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 2: on quarterbacks. But we'll see if JJ can kind of

1235
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 2: make the interest.

1236
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: Here we go, all right, he's Bucky Brooks. Get him

1237
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter, get him on next, get him on both.

1238
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to do at Bucky Brooks, we'll read it.

1239
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: We'll read tweeted at Ady Furman AFR FSR. Excuse me

1244
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: bit of this and that. Now it really sounds like

Speaker 1: a good deal. That's coming up next live from the

1257
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: Eastern time this morning. All right, now, Bucky Brooks, have

1258
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: you ever played EA Sports College football?

1259
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely? I still love it. It's one of my favorite

1260
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 3: games really. Oh yeah. Originally it was called Bill Walsh

1261
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 3: College Football.

1262
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 2: Came out right when I was in college, and they

1263
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 2: continue to have many iterations after that.

1264
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 3: One of the best games that you could.

1265
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 2: Think because you think that you could play because it

1266
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 2: had all the attraction of Madden, but you're doing it

1267
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 2: with college teams and so you have different styles, you're

1268
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 2: able to do different things, and so it's just all

1269
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 2: the things that you love about college football is what

1270
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 2: made the game so great.

1271
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: So it was big on campus University of North Carolina

1272
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: with the football players as well as regular students, and

1273
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: not just stupid thing to say football players are regular

1274
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: students do.

1275
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's big with all like football players and

1276
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 2: athletes and those things.

1277
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 3: Like they love those games and they love the.

1278
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 2: Fact of kind of doing it in a bunch of

1279
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 2: different way and win the national titles and.

1280
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 3: All of that. So I don't know if you will

1281
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 3: find many people that aren't really excited about it being back.

1282
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it returns this summer, and the players opting to

1283
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: appear in this new EA Sports college football video game,

1284
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: they're going to receive six hundred dollars as part of name,

1285
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: image and likeness deals. Okay, that means now that more

1286
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: than eleven thousand college football players have a chance to

1287
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: not only appear in the game, but to earn money. Now.

1288
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: EA Sports says those players will also get a free

1289
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: copy of the game as part of the deal. And

1290
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: I've heard some pushback on this and some people moaning

1291
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: them groaning. I think it's great. I mean, I think

1292
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 1: it's a great deal. Look, six hundred dollars is not

1293
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot of money, but certainly, you know,

1294
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: it's something that they didn't expect. And look, eleven thousand people.

1295
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: That that's a lot of six hundred dollars checks going

1296
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: out there, So I think it's a pretty good deal. Plus,

1297
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: as long as you're on a college football roster, if

1298
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: you played three four years, you're going to get that

1299
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars as long as your name is on

1300
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: that roster.

1301
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1302
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 2: No, I mean, there are a lot of people that

1303
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 2: are complaining about the amount of money, but and I

1304
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 2: don't know the financial so I have no way of

1305
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 2: knowing if that's a fair deal. But what I do

1306
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 2: know is everybody wants their name in the game, and

1307
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 2: there's something about being able to play a game in

1308
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 2: which you're involved and there's nothing like it. That's why

1309
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 2: people get excited about it. That's why you hear players

1310
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 2: kind of talk about Madden. NFL players talk about Madden

1311
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 2: with such reference because that was the dream for every kid.

1312
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: And I think some of these kids will still harbor that.

1313
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 2: There will be a handful of guys that talk about

1314
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: the money not being good enough, they won't opt in.

1315
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 2: But I don't think it would be a problem for

1316
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 2: EA to get enough college athletes that want to put

1317
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 2: their name on it. Look, it's now saying the opportunity

1318
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 2: for the game, and I would anticipate it being something

1319
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 2: that is not an issue.

1320
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: Now. When you hear stories like this in N I,

1321
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: L and EA coming back, do you sometimes say to yourself,

1322
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: you were born too soon? No?

1323
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 2: No, I was born at the right time. I was

1324
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 2: born at the right time for me, you know. But no,

1325
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 2: it is it is a great deal that you get

1326
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 2: a chance to see these players kind of play the game,

1327
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 2: participate in the game, and do all this other stuff.

1328
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 3: So it should be a lot of fun to watch.

1329
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: And players would be in the game as long as

1330
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: they're on the Ross has mentioned whether they transfer or not,

1331
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: and they'll be compensated on a yearly basis based on

1332
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: those factors. Players also could opt out of the game

1333
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: when future additions to the game are released if they

1334
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: so choose. Okay, now, every Football Bowl Subdivision team will

1335
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: appear in the game. After notes, you get this after

1336
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Notre Dame officials announced this week that they would allow

1337
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: their athletes to participate that there will be no FCS

1338
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: teams in the twenty four edition of the game. Why

1339
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: would Notre Dame even put a squash on this. I

1340
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: don't get it, because if they did, I'm sure the

1341
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: EA and the college athletes themselves would probably got a

1342
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: quarter of that.

1343
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's independent, like, they have their own status, so

1344
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 2: they've been able to kind of create their own deals

1345
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 2: with a bunch of different things. I mean, they're able

1346
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 2: to kind of kind of go about it, you know,

1347
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 2: in a way in which they see fit.

1348
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 3: But it's good that Notre Dame is all in on it.

1349
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 2: It allows their players to participate, and it's such a

1350
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 2: big deal. They have such a brand, you know, they've

1351
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 2: created a brand outside of.

1352
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 3: That's separate and apart from the rest.

1353
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 2: Of the landscape, and you've got to get them signed

1354
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 2: off on stuff that's part of their independent status.

1355
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 3: They've been able to utilize that and take advantage of

1356
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 3: that for a long time.

1357
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got their own TV network. You're right about that, Yeah,

1358
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 1: with NBC. So it says here's a question. I think

1359
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: it's great for promoting college football, no doubt about that.

1360
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: You get the names out there, people know who they are,

1361
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: and the people could be playing, and everybody's happy the

1362
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: EA Sports is coming back. But here's the question I have,

1363
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 1: And I hate to be this kind of like guy

1364
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: always pecking and clawing of things. But why is there

1365
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: the need for names? It could be just as successful

1366
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: with just the college team names, couldn't it. In other words,

1367
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: instead of having Bucky Brooks in the EA game with

1368
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: your name and getting the six hundred dollars, why couldn't

1369
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: the agent say it's Texas A and M or Oklahoma

1370
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. Why can't they just use the college name.

1371
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 2: I mean, they could do that, but I mean it's

1372
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 2: much I mean, it's a lot more fun when you're

1373
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 2: able to say JJ McCarthy as opposed to mischigan QB one.

1374
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a better just get a better gameplay.

1375
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 2: It just makes you feel like you're doing it brings

1376
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,959
Speaker 2: about a greater connection to the game.

1377
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 3: So I mean that's why they can.

1378
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Well, it certainly helps the college game because it makes

1379
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: that the name is more of a household name, so

1380
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: people know who's playing, just like in the NFL would.

1381
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: I think fantasy football has certainly helped the NFL, not

1382
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 1: that it needed help, but it's certainly taken the NFL

1383
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: to another level because people know players' names because they're

1384
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: playing fantasy football. There's no doubt about that. But I

1385
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: think it's going to help college football tremendously, really will.

1386
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: And look, when you want to rate the popularity of

1387
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: sports in our country right now, I say it's one

1388
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: in one A NFL and college football. That's it. One

1389
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: in one A.

1390
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 3: I mean I would agree.

1391
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 2: I mean, college football, pro football, whatever it is. We

1392
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 2: love to consume our football and we're going to continue

1393
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 2: to do it. There's nothing like the game, nothing like

1394
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,480
Speaker 2: the passion that the game brings about.

1395
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 3: We'll continue to say it should be fun.

1396
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: Here's my next question. We got one in one A.

1397
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: What's number two? What's what's the second biggest sport in

1398
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: the US of A. You know, I don't think it's

1399
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 1: Major League base You get a baseball because the amount

1400
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: of games they play.

1401
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 2: Man, it's not baseball. I don't think it's baseball. Say

1402
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 2: it's basketball.

1403
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: I could be college basketball.

1404
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 3: I would say it used to be college basketball.

1405
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 2: But now you have such a hard time keeping up

1406
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 2: with who's who and what's what.

1407
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 3: That's that's kind of changed it a little bit.

1408
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm here, you're right there. It's tough, it really is.

1409
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, ni L has really hurt the ability to

1410
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: follow college and they use that term. Let's create a culture.

1411
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: The coaches always used that word, and I hate that word.

1412
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: It's create a You can't do that. You can't create

1413
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: a culture when guys are going to the portal. Just

1414
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: can't do it. I mean it's crazy. But we move

1415
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 1: on and uh, that's not for us to decide. I mean,

1416
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: they got to make some decisions real soon. We'll talk

1417
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: about the NC double A right now, he's Bucky Brooks,

1418
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean, deferma. We have Fox Sports Sunday on Fox

1419
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: Sports ready, Hey, did you see through this? That's next?

1420
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: But first Kevin wired with all your sports.

1421
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, we had some news develop overnight in Major League Baseball.

1422
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 11: Cody Bellinger has signed a contract. It's a three year,

1423
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 11: eighty million dollar deal and he will go back to

1424
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 11: the Chicago Cubs. College bo no, I'm a Reds fan.

1425
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 11: No another reagent off the market there. College basketball, that's

1426
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 11: where the talk has been on a Saturday night and

1427
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 11: into the morning because wake Forest up set number eight.

1428
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 11: Duke final score in that one eighty three to seventy nine.

1429
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 11: But the talk wasn't about the game, but what happened

1430
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 11: after it. Duke star Kyle Philipowski got in a collision

1431
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 11: with a fan who was rushing the court along with

1432
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 11: the rest of the crowd after the game to celebrate

1433
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 11: the episode. This is what Philipowski had to say regarding

1434
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 11: the incident.

1435
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 12: You know, I've I felt a bunch of hits on

1436
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 12: my body. This one was the worst of them. Like

1437
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 12: I said, it's just really ridiculous of how that situation

1438
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 12: is handled. I've already heard that there's some videos of

1439
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 12: Damn punching the back and so I absolutely feel like

1440
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 12: it was personal, you know, intentional for sure.

1441
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, he suffered a knee injury, and with it happening

1442
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 11: to Caitlin Clarck, she got in a collision with a

1443
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 11: fans storm in the court a few weeks ago. So

1444
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 11: we got to wonder what the NCAA and various conferences

1445
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 11: might do to address court storming at moving a forward.

1446
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,439
Speaker 11: As for the other action on the hardwood last night,

1447
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,479
Speaker 11: in the Big twelve, huge matchup between two ranked teams,

1448
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 11: second ranked Houston number eleven Baylor in Awaco.

1449
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 8: This one went to overtime.

1450
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 11: The Bears had a chance to win it, but missed

1451
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 11: a key free throw late in regulation that allowed Houston

1452
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 11: a forced overtime, and they eventually do win it eighty

1453
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 11: two to seventy six. In the PAC twelve, it was

1454
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,959
Speaker 11: a matchup of the Arizona Schools against the Washington Schools. First,

1455
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,919
Speaker 11: the number four Wildcats. They're back in first place after

1456
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 11: they beat the Washington Huskies ninety one seventy five. However,

1457
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 11: Number twenty one Washington State up ended in Tempee by

1458
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 11: Arizona State seventy three, is sixty one in the ACC,

1459
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 11: Number ten North Carolina a defensive clinic. They held Virginia

1460
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 11: to just six points in the first fourteen minutes of

1461
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 11: that contest en route to a fifty four to forty

1462
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 11: four victory. In the SEC much anticipated matchup Number seventeen

1463
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 11: Kentucky number thirteen Alabamas. The Cripson side, we're in first

1464
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 11: place in the SEC. I'll buy themselves until Saturday, where

1465
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 11: the Wildcats in an absolute dominating performance, winning one seventeen

1466
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:31,479
Speaker 11: to ninety five out west the Saint Mary's Gales. They're

1467
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 11: perfect still in the West Coast Conference at fourteen and

1468
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 11: oh and they take care of business against San Diego

1469
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 11: eighty eight sixty two. In the NBA Celtics, now making

1470
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 11: eight straight wins. They beat the next one to sixteen

1471
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 11: one oh two behind thirty points from Jalen Brown. Timberwolves

1472
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 11: over the next one oh one eighty six, and the

1473
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 11: Magic beat the Pistons.

1474
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 8: One twelve to one oh nine.

1475
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 11: College football, Eric b Enemy going to the college ranks,

1476
01:07:56,160 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 11: says uh, he will join a new head coach, DeShawn

1477
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 11: Foster on UCLA's staffs he'll be the offensive coordinator for

1478
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 11: the Bruins.

1479
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, all right, keV see you in

1480
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: just about an hour. Ay, this just might be what

1481
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: the sport needs. We'll tell you all about it in

1482
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: just about a minute. This is Fox Sports Sunday on

1483
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. He's Bucky Brooks. I'm any firma aware

1484
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: live from the tairaq dot com studios. And of course

1485
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: we got bott and Barrel betting at about seven eight

1486
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: minutes for an now. But right now, up now is

1487
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: Gabe Gabe in Boston. Oh, he hung up, Gabe, you're

1488
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 1: afraid You're afraid. I get it. He hung up. He's afraid,

1489
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: I get it, Bucky. They're afraid to come and face

1490
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: the altar. Come to the altar.

1491
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:35,640
Speaker 3: All right?

1492
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: We move on now. Last week, Major League Baseball unveiled

1493
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 1: their new Nike vapor premier uniforms manufactured through Fanatics. The

1494
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: jerseys were engineered to improve mobility, moisture management, and certainly fit,

1495
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:54,600
Speaker 1: but the uniforms drew criticism over their cheap look, the

1496
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 1: small lettering, and of course limited customation and the options

1497
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,600
Speaker 1: that they have there now and the pictures that went viral.

1498
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 1: Casey Schmidt, the infielder of the San Francisco Giants, his

1499
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: groin region was visible through his pants while he was

1500
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: wearing the new uniform and posing for the team's photo day.

1501
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 1: All right, I'm saying right now, this probably is good

1502
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: for Major League Baseball, and I think they did it

1503
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: intentionally to get little attention, to get a little pr

1504
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: What do you think about that?

1505
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if they did it intentionally, but

1506
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 2: it is kind of funny that it's become such a

1507
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 2: big deal.

1508
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 3: The uniforms are the uniforms.

1509
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 2: Players have a tendency to kind of moan about anything,

1510
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 2: and so this is kind of par for the course.

1511
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 2: They eventually made the corrections to make sure everyone is

1512
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,919
Speaker 2: comfortable in what they're doing, and we also will adjust,

1513
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 2: you know, will adjust to seeing the names that are

1514
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 2: bigger or smaller and all those things. However, they do

1515
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 2: need to kind of fix the seat through element, Like

1516
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:57,600
Speaker 2: you don't want that to happen, you know.

1517
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: I think that's what they a ex appeal for Major

1518
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 1: League Baseball. Look, the uniform pants have the same materially

1519
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 1: in thickness as the uniform pants used last year. This

1520
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 1: is what Major League Baseball told the Wall Street Journal.

1521
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 1: The other day. There were changes to the fabric of

1522
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: the jersey, not the pants, but the Seattle Merediths posted

1523
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: a video in which they catch at cal Rawley's top

1524
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 1: could be seen through the pants. All right, So you know,

1525
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that big of a deal. You said,

1526
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: so far away you probably can't see it anyway, But

1527
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: I think this is good. Number one Baseball is getting

1528
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: some attention. I think that's what they need. There's some

1529
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 1: genius in the marketing department in Major League Baseball with

1530
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: these uniforms. Said, look, you know, we're getting smacked around

1531
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: pretty good. Everybody talks football, you know, not to talk

1532
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: on basketball. As the NBA All Star Game last weekend,

1533
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: no one's talking baseball, and spring training just got under way.

1534
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 1: We gotta get we gotta get some news. We got

1535
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:51,719
Speaker 1: to do something. So I did it with the uniforms,

1536
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 1: don't you think?

1537
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:56,440
Speaker 2: I mean maybe, but I don't know if the uniforms

1538
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 2: were that big of a topic to keep everyone interested

1539
01:10:59,360 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 2: and engaged.

1540
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,679
Speaker 3: But who knows. Man.

1541
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 2: I just think it's funny that we're having conversations about

1542
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 2: uniforms and that stuff right now.

1543
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 1: I would say this, if you had these uniforms basically

1544
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL or the NBA or even college, people

1545
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: will be going crazy.

1546
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 5: You know.

1547
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 1: It hasn't even been that big of a story, which

1548
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,879
Speaker 1: tells me and probably tells the rest of the world

1549
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 1: that baseball is in a world of hurt because you

1550
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: can't even get like semi NEUW uniforms to get national

1551
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: attention with the sport. I think about that, if you had,

1552
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, Patrick Mahomes wearing a see through uniform, people

1553
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 1: would be going ballistic. They'd be going crazy in the NFL.

1554
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,960
Speaker 1: But in baseball, it's not so much uniform it's a sport.

1555
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: And I think baseball right now has to take a

1556
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: good hard look at itself and say, what do we

1557
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: need to do. How do we go forward? How do

1558
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 1: we get some traction here? How do we get some

1559
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 1: more attention on a national scale, and what could we

1560
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 1: do now. You can't do fantasy baseball because you play

1561
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 1: too many games. It's crazy. Football is perfect. You play

1562
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: once a week, you know, and you get the fantasy deal.

1563
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: You get it on the computer. I remember way back

1564
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: in the day people were doing fantasy baseball by pencil.

1565
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 1: It's great. You can't do it daily, you go nuts.

1566
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 5: You can't.

1567
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 1: They play too many games and you can't do it.

1568
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: But they got to do something, and they got to

1569
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: do something quick because I think the interest is waning,

1570
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:27,599
Speaker 1: it really is. And this UFL, and you even mentioned

1571
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 1: that the UFL could really take a bite out of

1572
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball if they could get themselves going.

1573
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1574
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if it'd ever be a thing where

1575
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 2: you can take a significant portion of baseball away from

1576
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 2: you know, like the fan base or command the significant

1577
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 2: part of the audience. But it's a different vehicle for

1578
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 2: them to watch. I think for baseball, baseball fans are traditionalists,

1579
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 2: and what baseball has tried to do is try to

1580
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 2: make the game more pellling TV because what used to happen,

1581
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 2: the game would take too long to watch. You just

1582
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 2: couldn't sit there and devote three and a half to

1583
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 2: four hours for baseball game. But they with the pitch count,

1584
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 2: the clock and some of the things that they added,

1585
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 2: it's a much more entertaining game in terms of being

1586
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 2: a watchability. And I think it's quick brow like that. Yeah,

1587
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 2: it's quicker, and I think that's what people want. If

1588
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 2: they can make it quicker, if they can increase the scoring,

1589
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 2: all that stuff is gonna be a big popular do.

1590
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1591
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 1: We're in a society now, as you know that. I

1592
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 1: want it now. I want glasses made in an hour,

1593
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: I want instant coffee, I want this, I want everything

1594
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: right now. So baseball right now is moving towards that way.

1595
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:32,799
Speaker 1: And I think they talk about even taking two seconds

1596
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 1: off the pitch clock for this year. So we'll see

1597
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 1: what happens there. But Gabe, I apologize. You're not a coward.

1598
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 1: You're called back Gabe on Fox Sports Sunday.

1599
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 13: Go ahead, Gaby, Hey, guys, how you doing. I didn't

1600
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 13: think you were gonna take my call so fast because

1601
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 13: I know you guys don't take many calls. Oh come on, Oh,

1602
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 13: I just want to say I love you guys. I

1603
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 13: love your show. You know you guys are on before

1604
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 13: the Sports Up comes on I love how you say

1605
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 13: some crazy stuff and then Bucky just you know, says

1606
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 13: just laugh and just say no no, like the NCAA game.

1607
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 13: You know, obviously they've tried to make NCAA games just

1608
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 13: saying Michigan quarterback number one. But it's no fun doing that.

1609
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 13: So like that's the whole thing, getting the player's names.

1610
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:18,520
Speaker 13: You could play with a JJ McCarthy or Caleb Williams

1611
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 13: on the game. I just want to ask Bucky, Bucky,

1612
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:24,879
Speaker 13: like are you asked if you want to be in Madden?

1613
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 13: And like is there a price that the players get?

1614
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,679
Speaker 13: And like cause like some players are in like we're

1615
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 13: in like last year's game and not this year's game.

1616
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 13: Do they re up every year like each player?

1617
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 3: I would love Yeah.

1618
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, So when you're when you're a player at

1619
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 2: Nation Football League, you're part of the union.

1620
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 3: So the NFLPA has a thing.

1621
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 2: Where you can just sign a little waiver and it

1622
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 2: kind of you give away your name.

1623
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 3: Image and likeness.

1624
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 2: So that then gives you an opportunity to get like

1625
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 2: a check from the union that covers some of those things,

1626
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:01,839
Speaker 2: including the video games where they use your name, image,

1627
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:05,679
Speaker 2: likeness and all those things in it some people will

1628
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 2: elect to opt out if they wish, and so they'll

1629
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 2: decline the money because they want to retain their own name,

1630
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:14,839
Speaker 2: image and likeness. But the overwhelming majority of NFL players

1631
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 2: have done it, going all the way back back in

1632
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 2: the day the Quarterback Club, which was popular in the

1633
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 2: nineties when you had like Dan Marino and Jim Kelly

1634
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 2: and all those guys.

1635
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 3: They had their own deals. They signed their own deals.

1636
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 2: But right now, as it stands, the NFL PA signs

1637
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 2: a deal with those companies, and then you, as a

1638
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 2: member of the union, you can wave in or wave

1639
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 2: out and whether you want to participate in those things.

1640
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: All right, is your question been answered? Mister Gabe?

1641
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 14: You put Bucky? Oh sorry, okay, Bucky Bucky. Wait, so

1642
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 14: you have to give away your name and like, you know,

1643
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 14: your name like this and everything. So why are so

1644
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 14: many players okay with it? And then some players are like,

1645
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 14: you know, like not like superstars like mahomes is in

1646
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 14: the game, you know, the superstars. Why are some guys

1647
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 14: like I don't want to give them my name, and like,

1648
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:05,720
Speaker 14: you know, is that I don't?

1649
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 3: Is that in the college game? Yeah?

1650
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 2: I think I think it's kind of new to the

1651
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 2: to the collegiate landscape where guys are trying to take

1652
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 2: more control over it whatever. But I think most people

1653
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 2: will find that under NIO, particularly at the pros or

1654
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 2: whatever like, you can do those things with Madden and

1655
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 2: stuff like as a group, but it still doesn't prohibit

1656
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 2: you from being able to do things individually. So in

1657
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 2: the pros, when you're a professional, you have the ability

1658
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 2: to do everything. Before at the collegiate level you are

1659
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 2: an amateur, so you're restricted from being able to do

1660
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:38,799
Speaker 2: some of those things. You couldn't promote your name, image

1661
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 2: and likeness with the college uniform and those things. But

1662
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 2: now with that stuff coming off, you might see more

1663
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 2: guys do what NFL guys do, like, oh, I'll do

1664
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 2: this mad thing because I still have the ability to

1665
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 2: do other stuff on my own to even increase what

1666
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,679
Speaker 2: I want to do with my brand.

1667
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good, Gabe, have a good day. There

1668

1686
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 4: Bucky thirteen Andy eights. You got some ground to make up.

1687

1695
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,600

Speaker 1: name fair enough.

1702
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 8: Maybe that's maybe that's why Bucky's winning.

1703
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: Perhaps we'll see. I'll make it close. Now coming back.

01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,559

01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 3: the Warriors are the ones.

1744
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,280

Speaker 8: Bucky, let's go with Mark.

1748
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 3: Is it my turn? It is either way?

1749
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: You know what? You know, Mark, Mark may have a shot,

1750
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 1: but anybody with the name of zang you know, you

1751
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 1: got to give him some credit because you know, he's

1752
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 1: going public. You know, if I had the name of Zang,

1753
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 1: I stay home every day. I wouldn't even go out,

1754
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't even go to school. I mean Zang.

1755
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean, really think about that. I mean Zang. You

1756
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't want that name. You would curse your parents if

1757
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: they named you Zang.

1758
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1759
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 8: Well, I don't know. Maybe it's common where he's from.

1760
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, it ain't common. I never heard

1761
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: of Zang before. I thought it was a drink or

1762
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: a meal or a name of a restaurant, Zang. But

1763
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm going with Zang because he has he has the

1764
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:01,800
Speaker 1: hanging downs to go out there and perform snooker in

1765
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 1: the public vein, in the public eye. So I'm going

1766
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: with Zang.

01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,360

1782
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 1: You he's ready, I know you were. You know the

1783
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:53,600
Speaker 1: worst excuse in sports. I'm gonna tell you what do

1784
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: you think the worst excuse is in sports when a

1785
01:21:55,960 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 1: team loses or there's a problem, you know, coaches or plays.

1786
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: The worst excuse you've heard in your playing days.

1787
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:08,480
Speaker 2: If they blame it all situations like travel or delays

1788
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 2: or not having stuff. They just don't take accountability anything.

1789
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 2: Is that not blaming in all injuries of those things.

1790
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 2: Blame it on the officials, the officials got them.

1791
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 3: I think that's to me. Let's go with the officials,

1792
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 3: the officials being against them, not giving them a call

1793
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 3: or something like that.

1794
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 1: That's a good one. You know. One of the worst

1795
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: excuses I think in sports is the term distractions. Players

1796
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: affected by outside activity distraction. You know why, salesmen they

1797
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:35,880
Speaker 1: go through divorce, they go through family problems, they still

1798
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,679
Speaker 1: produce teachers. They may have financial problems, they still teach.

1799
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: And it's funny because they keep on using it. Oh,

1800
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: we've got distractions. We got distractions. Now talk about the

1801
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,680
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. Let's talk about them. Now, talk about that.

1802
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: Coach Nick Sirianni. He failed to get the Philadelphia Eagles

1803
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 1: going again after the Week thirteen loss and they got

1804
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 1: pounded by the forty nine Ers a week thirteen, but

1805
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: he says he was without one of his main men

1806
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. You may know this guy, Big Don

1807
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: dom Di Dissandro. He's like the security guy. Did the

1808
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: Eagles they say weren't the same in the second half

1809
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 1: of the season last year, which may be correlated to

1810
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: Big doms sideline ban after Week thirteen. Big Don was

1811
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 1: serving the Eagles and he served the head coach security

1812
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 1: since twenty eleven. He's been involved with the franchise since

1813
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. He's called Big Dom. He's also as

1814
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,720
Speaker 1: a huge influencer coach Nick Sirianni, who is known for

1815
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: showing his emotions during NFL games. That is weak. That's

1816
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 1: the excuse now because the Eagles loss because Big Dom

1817
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 1: was on the sidelines. Are you kidding me? Come on, really, well.

1818
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 2: Look, I don't like that excuse. But then as they

1819
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 2: explain it, they just talk about how Nick Sirianni loses

1820
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 2: his cool and he needs someone to kind of talk

1821
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:54,919
Speaker 2: him off at ledge his interactions and conversations with coaches

1822
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 2: and players aren't great when he doesn't have Big Dom

1823
01:23:58,280 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 2: to kind of police him and kind of help him

1824
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 2: keep his emotions in check.

1825
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 3: Look.

1826
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,879
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a great thing that he's unable

1827
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 2: to keep his emotions in check, but I can't see

1828
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 2: without having the guy that calms him down or is

1829
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 2: able to act as.

1830
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 3: A buffer, it could be problematic because there's.

1831
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 2: Only so many signers you can yell at coaches and

1832
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 2: players without them kind of shutting down and tuning out

1833
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 2: the white noise.

1834
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 3: If Syrianna has an issue, he.

1835
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 2: Needs to either figure out how to be better when

1836
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 2: he comes to dealing with that stuff, or he has

1837
01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:30,600
Speaker 2: to make sure that Big Dom is always available.

1838
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 1: It's amazing, man, the Eagles will really they were flying

1839
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 1: high lst year. They were ten to one before that

1840
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine is game in Week thirteen, and

1841
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: it was during that game and there was an altercation

1842
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: that game became between Big Dom and the forty nine player.

1843
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 1: Drake green Law that he was a security chief, has

1844
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: mentioned he got a sideline band for the remainder of

1845
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 1: the NFL season. And they say, now the Eagles never

1846
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: recovered from that. Okay, maybe they didn't. The forty nine

1847
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,719
Speaker 1: is rolled over the Eagles at day forty two to nineteen.

1848
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 1: It was a big defeat and the result maybe they

1849
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: not out of the confidence of the Eagles. I don't

1850
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 1: know what it did, but Syriani's frustration increased every single

1851
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: week thereafter, and they go went down the crapper, That's

1852
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 1: what they did. The Eagles ended the season eleven and

1853
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 1: six after they were ten to one, losing five of

1854
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 1: their final six regular season games and somehow conceding the

1855
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 1: NFC East to the Dallas Cowboys. Then they lost in

1856
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: the wildcard round of the playoffs against, of all teams,

1857
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team I said shouldn't even

1858
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs. One of the biggest collapses in

1859
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: NFL history, right because a Big Dom. This is unbelievable.

1860
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 1: Big Dom coached the team. It's amazing to me. I

1861
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 1: never heard of a story like this, And why is

1862
01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:42,400
Speaker 1: it coming out now? I don't get it. And there's more,

1863
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: there's more to it because you know where this smoke

1864
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 1: this fire because now they say there's other players as

1865
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 1: other quote distractions with this team, player distractions and the

1866
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: FS one Fox Sports won Craig Carton. He says he

1867
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 1: knows the real reason for the Eagles collapse last year

1868
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,600
Speaker 1: and on courting Craig right now says it's a problem

1869
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:05,240
Speaker 1: that would splinter any group of men. And as soon

1870
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 1: as I heard that, I realized it had to be

1871
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 1: a woman involved. Right, any group of men. It is

1872
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:14,639
Speaker 1: a real significant problem and it cannot be fixed. I'll

1873
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 1: tell you that, says Craig. I'm not going to say

1874
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 1: anything more than that. It will be very interesting to

1875
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 1: see if a high profile player will be with them

1876
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 1: next year. And I think the people are talking about

1877
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 1: AJ Brown, They're talked about him involved. Now, look, you've

1878
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 1: played the game, You've seen it. A locker room is

1879
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:32,720
Speaker 1: like a mini family. And look, when I say it's

1880
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 1: going to group or splinter any group of men, you

1881
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 1: got to believe there's a woman involved, that maybe some

1882
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 1: guy was looking at some other guy's girlfriend, maybe some

1883
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 1: guy had an affair, perhaps allegedly with another player's wife.

1884
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you've seen it, You've been there.

1885
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,559
Speaker 1: You have to mention names, but I'm sure throughout your

1886
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: career you've seen things like this. What they say splinter

1887
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: a locker room.

1888
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 2: Oh, it absolutely was splitting our locker room. If that,

1889
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to put aj Brown's name in there

1890
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 2: because I don't think that's fair to him for us

1891
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:06,200
Speaker 2: to like recklessly speculate. But I'll say if they're saying

1892
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:09,000
Speaker 2: it's something that is that will tear a part or

1893
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 2: locker room, typically it comes down to a violation of

1894
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:16,560
Speaker 2: that code, like something with a woman, something with someone's

1895
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 2: significant other, whether it's girlfriend, wife, or whatever that impacts it.

1896
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 2: It's hard to come back from those things because what

1897
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 2: it is is a violation of trust, no different than

1898
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 2: any relationship or whatever. When that that trust is violated,

1899
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 2: that bond is broken, it's hard for a team to

1900
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 2: come back from that. And so if that took place

1901
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 2: in the Eagles locker room, yeah, it's no wonder why

1902
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,200
Speaker 2: they fell apart at the end, because it dominates, It

1903
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 2: dominates the conversation. It rose to trust. It Look at

1904
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:46,559
Speaker 2: it wrecks the fabric of the squad.

1905
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,080
Speaker 1: If there was no problem whatsoever on this Philadelphia Eagles team,

1906
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 1: they just went down the crop room. Whatever it may

1907
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 1: have been, injuries, and certainly they weren't the same team.

1908
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 1: They didn't have the running game that they had a

1909
01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:00,519
Speaker 1: year ago. They didn't have secondary help like that. So

1910
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's just one of those collapses. After

1911
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers lost the pounding of forty two

1912
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 1: to nineteen, they lost a little confidence. They went downhill.

1913
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 1: That's fine, But to come out now and I haven't

1914
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,440
Speaker 1: played in months and to have these stories to circulate

1915
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 1: right now, I say, where they smoked this fire? First?

1916
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 1: The big Dom's scory. Why make excuses they lost? I

1917
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 1: mean other teams have lost as well. I don't hear

1918
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:24,559
Speaker 1: the Patriots making excuses for their season right now why

1919
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 1: they went down the cropper and they didn't even make

1920
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But the Eagles right now and make it right.

1921
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:32,800
Speaker 2: Well, maybe it's not an excuse, Maybe it's a legitimate explanation.

1922
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:34,799
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't know, we don't know the impact

1923
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,599
Speaker 2: only those people. And the thing I think sometimes when

1924
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 2: we ask questions and we get the answer and if

1925
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,519
Speaker 2: they're being brutally honest and truthful, sometimes we just have

1926
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 2: to be like, oh, okay, thanks for sharing. And maybe

1927
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 2: this is one of those moments where they were where

1928
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,800
Speaker 2: they were openly sharing about what the issue was.

1929
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,760
Speaker 1: You know, well, and look from when I've read that

1930
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 1: AJ Brown would call the local radio station in Philadelphia

1931
01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 1: kind of to defend himself because his has been dragged

1932
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 1: into this situation now and again, you know, you're right,

1933
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 1: it's not fair to say it's him. But again again,

1934
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 1: if we see that AJ Brown has traded at the

1935
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 1: end of the year, maybe it was him. Maybe he

1936
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:12,839
Speaker 1: can't relate, or maybe he was part of the problem

1937
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 1: with this soul called thing that splintered the locker room

1938
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 1: and h and that and that's why he's got to go.

1939
01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 1: Maybe it crippled the locker room and hurt the team.

1940
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just know that when a

1941
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 1: guy has to say it wasn't me and fingers are

1942
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 1: pointing and not his excuse is way after the season's over,

1943
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 1: it just doesn't smell right. It really doesn't.

1944
01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there's something obviously wrong. You know what I'm saying.

1945
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 2: It's it's definitely fractured and not what it needs to

1946
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 2: be and they have to continue to work through that.

1947
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 2: And the only way they can work through that is

1948
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 2: there's a level of transparency that everybody has to have

1949
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:51,439
Speaker 2: in the building to admit their shortcomings and then find

1950
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 2: a way to overcome it.

1951
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to dig a little deep enough. Because

1952
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 1: you played in the NFL for five plus years, you

1953
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: had to see something like this. How does work? You

1954
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:03,800
Speaker 1: know one guy? Have you seen a guy just in

1955
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 1: a locker room just explode at his teammates, say, you

1956
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:11,479
Speaker 1: were with my wife? I mean, tell me now what happened?

1957
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, Like I mean, I think

1958
01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:16,799
Speaker 2: it happens at every level. It happens in high school

1959
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 2: and those things where you have people that violate that

1960
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 2: and it's not an open discussion in the locker room,

1961
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:26,200
Speaker 2: but it just it kind of fractures things like everyone

1962
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 2: is in privy to the information when it comes to

1963
01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 2: people's personal lives, but you just kind of begin to

1964
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:32,840
Speaker 2: figure out, like there's something.

1965
01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 3: Going on between these two players, what is it?

1966
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,000
Speaker 2: And then normally, because you have friendships on the team,

1967
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 2: things come out.

1968
01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:39,679
Speaker 3: I just.

1969
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:43,680
Speaker 2: Look, there's no one way that it comes out. But

1970
01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:48,640
Speaker 2: sometimes sometimes these things are discovered and it impacts the team.

1971
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, It's funny because there was some undercurrent.

1972
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 1: There were some rumors earlier, like in August and early

1973
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 1: NFL season that there was a problem in Buffalo with

1974
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and one of his receivers. And you know,

1975
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 1: now you could say maybe this was a situation, a

1976
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 1: very similar situation. Look, I gotta believe.

1977
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 2: That it doesn't have to It doesn't have to always

1978
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 2: be that like like sometimes when you have like fifty

1979
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:15,840
Speaker 2: three guys on a team, like guys don't get along

1980
01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:16,759
Speaker 2: for whatever reason.

1981
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 3: And it doesn't always have to be like that that.

1982
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 2: Deep dark secret that we might be talking about, like

1983
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,200
Speaker 2: someone violating is another person trust by handle. It could

1984
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 2: just be miscommunication. It could be passive aggressiveness where they

1985
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:31,840
Speaker 2: have issues on the field but they never confront them.

1986
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:34,439
Speaker 2: There are many There are a bunch of different things

1987
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:36,320
Speaker 2: that can tear a port a team, and it's not

1988
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 2: always like a partner related deal or violation of a

1989
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 2: partner that leads to it.

1990
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 3: I mean, who knows what really exists in Philly.

1991
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 2: It could be just the lack of communication between the

1992
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:51,080
Speaker 2: head coach, the players, the coaching staff, and just not

1993
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 2: having the connectivity that you expect from your squad.

1994
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 1: I don't expect this story to come out in full force.

1995
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,559
Speaker 1: I don't expect to hear the entire story. However, I

1996
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 1: will say this, and maybe I'm dead wrong. If a

1997
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 1: player is traded from the Philadelphia Eagles, then we will

1998
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:11,680
Speaker 1: find out the true story. Then it'll come out. I

1999
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 1: think eventually it may come out, but I think it's

2000
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:15,640
Speaker 1: a better chance of it coming out if one of

2001
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 1: these players who may have been involved is traded.

2002
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 2: Agreed, maybe, But I'll say this because I don't want

2003
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:26,280
Speaker 2: people to think in there, because I think when like

2004
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 2: AG's Brown his name has been brought up, I don't

2005
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:30,439
Speaker 2: want it to be a situation where he's trading and

2006
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:33,640
Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh, he must have hooked up with someone's.

2007
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 1: But that's what happens.

2008
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:36,879
Speaker 2: It could be, it could be, but like, it shouldn't

2009
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:39,439
Speaker 2: happen like that, like, because that's wild speculation without being

2010
01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:41,240
Speaker 2: in the locker room. I think people have to be

2011
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:44,599
Speaker 2: careful about throwing about these theories as to why certain

2012
01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:47,559
Speaker 2: people don't get along with other people. Now, the big

2013
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:50,639
Speaker 2: thing is, if you're the Philadelphia Eagles and Unix here Rihanna,

2014
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:52,680
Speaker 2: you got to clean up whatever issue that is in

2015
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,640
Speaker 2: the locker room. He has to acknowledge his own shortcomings

2016
01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:58,720
Speaker 2: because I would say that he's a little too emotional.

2017
01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:01,880
Speaker 2: On the side line, he's a little extra when it

2018
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:04,919
Speaker 2: comes to being over the top after wins and losses.

2019
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,559
Speaker 2: And your team is a reflection of the coach, and

2020
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:10,000
Speaker 2: so if he's up and down, the team is going

2021
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 2: to be up and down. And when he gets himself

2022
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:13,920
Speaker 2: under control of the team will do that. But they

2023
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 2: still have to build a level of chemistry, camaraderie, continuity

2024
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 2: where they like each other, they willing to play for

2025
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:23,479
Speaker 2: each other because in the end, it's about them. It's

2026
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 2: about the players, not the plays, and they got to

2027
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:28,560
Speaker 2: make sure that they get everybody on the same page.

2028
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:30,840
Speaker 1: Well here's the big question though, I mean, you play

2029
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:33,000
Speaker 1: in the league, you play for many coaches. How does

2030
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:35,560
Speaker 1: a coach do that when he sees his some problems

2031
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:38,840
Speaker 1: developing in this team that could hurt the outcome of

2032
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 1: a season. What does he do? I mean, I mean,

2033
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:44,439
Speaker 1: obviously it's great to go into a room and draw

2034
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 1: a plays and do the first fifteen plays that are

2035
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,680
Speaker 1: on your play sheet, and you know scouting. I mean

2036
01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 1: that's fine, but what do you do when you're handling

2037
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 1: individuals and personalities? Then what do you That's when a

2038
01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:57,400
Speaker 1: coach really earns his money. And you've probably seen many

2039
01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:00,200
Speaker 1: coaches do it a lot better than others.

2040
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:02,479
Speaker 2: I think you have to have You got to have

2041
01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 2: a look, you got to have open conversations. You got

2042
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 2: to be able to talk about it, you got to

2043
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:08,559
Speaker 2: be able to share, you got to you have to

2044
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 2: put it all on the line and on the table,

2045
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:12,439
Speaker 2: and that's on the coach to make sure he sets

2046
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:14,599
Speaker 2: that up and that they have an environment where they're

2047
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:16,799
Speaker 2: free to do those kinds of things. If you create

2048
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:18,599
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, yeah, then you have a chance

2049
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:20,080
Speaker 2: of being able to get it done, being able to

2050
01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 2: kind of figure it out and move forward.

2051
01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:24,559
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I want to know

2052
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 1: what happened. You know, I don't think I'm alone. I

2053
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:29,640
Speaker 1: mean I would say this, I say the majority of

2054
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 1: America after they heard this story, they want to know

2055
01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:33,679
Speaker 1: what really happened.

2056
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 5: Though.

2057
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:37,160
Speaker 1: Don't you think that's we want dirt? We love dirt. Right,

2058
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:38,960
Speaker 1: we want to know what happened.

2059
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:41,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, people love dirt and that stuff.

2060
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 2: I think some of it the obsession is silly, but yeah,

2061
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:48,080
Speaker 2: everybody wants to know the reason why, Like why didn't

2062
01:34:48,080 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 2: they play to their potential?

2063
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 3: Why didn't they mess it up? And if it's relacious, yeah,

2064
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:52,640
Speaker 3: they love that.

2065
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:55,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I think it'd be a case

2066
01:34:55,240 --> 01:35:00,800
Speaker 2: of sometimes having a team that just struggles dealing with expectations.

2067
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,400
Speaker 2: And even though they ran out to a ten and

2068
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:05,599
Speaker 2: one start, they still didn't play well. They just never

2069
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:07,880
Speaker 2: necessarily got it together with so many changes on the

2070
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 2: coaching staff.

2071
01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:11,280
Speaker 1: Interesting. I'll tell you what, though, I will say this.

2072
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:13,799
Speaker 1: He's Bucky Brooks, I'm Andy Furman. We have a Twitter account,

2073
01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:15,720
Speaker 1: we have an ex account, We've got phone lines. If

2074
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:19,799
Speaker 1: you're from Philadelphia, I want to know what happened. Okay,

2075
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:23,280
Speaker 1: if you heard anything from Philadelphia, let us know. And

2076
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:26,320
Speaker 1: really and truly, if you're like me, be honest, you

2077
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:27,840
Speaker 1: want to know what really happened. You want to know

2078
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:31,760
Speaker 1: the dirt. I mean, was there some some messing around that? Really?

2079
01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 1: What they say splinter the locker room. I believe in

2080
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 1: Craig Carlton. He said, that there was a lot more

2081
01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 1: with a male a male situation, which we know what

2082
01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:42,760
Speaker 1: meant he meant by that. So you tell us that

2083
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:45,680
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks at Andy Furman FSL, we'll read him eight

2084
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine one Fox. We'll take your calls.

2085
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven nine ninety six sixty three sixty nine.

2086
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 1: All right, in this hour, we got the blame game

2087
01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 1: and an hour number four. Yes, we're going an extra

2088
01:35:56,479 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 1: hour today, a little of this and a little of that,

2089
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,519
Speaker 1: but right now this is the real Dirty dozen and

2090
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 1: it's next we'll tell you how this works. That's right

2091
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 1: around the corner. This is Fox Sports Sunday and Fox

2092
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:12,439
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. He is Bucky Brooks, I'm Andy Furman and

2093
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 1: went live from the ti iraq dot com studios. That,

2094
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 1: of course, we're rolling along until ten o'clock Eastern time today.

2095
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:20,759
Speaker 1: And now let's talk about college football for a second,

2096
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 1: because the twelve team college football playoff now is ten

2097
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,880
Speaker 1: months away. Twelve teams. Good call, Bucky and no.

2098
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,160
Speaker 3: Man. I think it's a good goal. I think it's

2099
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:33,640
Speaker 3: pretty good goal. All right.

2100
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:36,400
Speaker 1: You know I would say this, I'm not so sure

2101
01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 1: the people who are in charge of basically the college

2102
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:43,160
Speaker 1: Football Board of Managers. That's what they are. I guess

2103
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:45,840
Speaker 1: they put this together. I think they did it so

2104
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:48,719
Speaker 1: far for the money more so than the competitive aspect

2105
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 1: of it. And I think what they did at the

2106
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 1: same time by moving it nowt to twelve teams and

2107
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:55,880
Speaker 1: the other at large bids go from six to seven,

2108
01:36:56,280 --> 01:36:59,200
Speaker 1: I think they're basically killing the bowl games. That's basically

2109
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 1: not that I care much, because I think more players

2110
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 1: will probably play in the playoff games because they mean

2111
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,439
Speaker 1: more than playing the ballgames. A lot of players are

2112
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:09,800
Speaker 1: opting out playing in the ball games. People yell and

2113
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:12,680
Speaker 1: scream about NBA All Star Game players not playing, not

2114
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:15,000
Speaker 1: playing hard, and I wanted to play in that. What

2115
01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 1: about the college kids? They never playing bowl games anymore, right,

2116
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 1: for fear of not getting drafted in the NFL because

2117
01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 1: they get hurt.

2118
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's a real consideration.

2119
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:26,840
Speaker 2: And a lot of times guys won't participate because they

2120
01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:28,759
Speaker 2: are worried about getting hurt. They don't want to lose

2121
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:31,120
Speaker 2: out on the opportunity to play at the next level.

2122
01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:34,040
Speaker 2: They don't wanted to impact their draft stock, so they

2123
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:37,560
Speaker 2: opt out, particularly if it's the bowl game. The playoffs

2124
01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:41,120
Speaker 2: should keep more of the stars engaged because the opportunity

2125
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:45,160
Speaker 2: to win the national title will exceed some of those

2126
01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:48,559
Speaker 2: risk factors that come along with like, ah, it's okay, it's.

2127
01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 3: The rolls ball.

2128
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:51,640
Speaker 2: But if they have significance, guys will always tend to

2129
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 2: play if it's a significant game, one that is meaningful

2130
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 2: as it relates to the national championship. But if your

2131
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:02,160
Speaker 2: team is eliminated quickly and you're just looking at bowl games, yeah,

2132
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:04,040
Speaker 2: I mean I think the overwell majority guys are just

2133
01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:06,559
Speaker 2: gonna be like, yeah, I'm good on this right now.

2134
01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 1: And now we talk about this the PAC twelve. Now

2135
01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:11,479
Speaker 1: they're going to operate next year with Oregon State and

2136
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 1: Washington State. Now, as in a side here from the

2137
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:18,560
Speaker 1: college playoff system, who in the hell would want to

2138
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:20,920
Speaker 1: go to Oregon State and Washington State a conference with

2139
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:24,120
Speaker 1: two schools? I mean, really, who'd want to go there?

2140
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:27,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I think they have an opportunity

2141
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 2: to do it a few different ways. I think they

2142
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 2: can look at a conference that's nearby them, like like

2143
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:35,080
Speaker 2: Mountain West Conference potentially, and maybe try and fold in

2144
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 2: some of those teams with some other teams and create

2145
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 2: a new version of the pack. I think ultimately that's

2146
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:44,640
Speaker 2: probably the end game. That would be the goal to

2147
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:46,680
Speaker 2: see if you can get that kind of stuff accomplished.

2148
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 2: So you still can bring back the legacy of the

2149
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,600
Speaker 2: PAC twelve and even though if you have to rebrand it,

2150
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:53,759
Speaker 2: do it differently with new teams.

2151
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:55,960
Speaker 3: I think that that's a big deal.

2152
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 1: You know, you make a good point in a Mountain

2153
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 1: West and there's gonna be people that the NY series goes, Oh,

2154
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:02,360
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be the same. You know what. I

2155
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:05,160
Speaker 1: remember going back when they formed the Big East Conference

2156
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 1: and the biggest conference was formed, and out of the

2157
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:11,400
Speaker 1: clear blue they said we're bringing in Seaton Hole and

2158
01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:14,719
Speaker 1: people like they were flabbergast of Seaton Hole. They're terrible.

2159
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:19,280
Speaker 1: I believe that when a team enters a conference, you

2160
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 1: have to perform to become competitive in that conference. And

2161
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:27,480
Speaker 1: what a Seaton Hole do on the coach PJ. Carlissimo,

2162
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,439
Speaker 1: they went to the NCAA Final Four and they lost

2163
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:33,720
Speaker 1: a championship game in Seattle against Michigan one year. So

2164
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:36,800
Speaker 1: I think they became better by joining a conference. I

2165
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 1: think that could happen right now with the Mountain West

2166
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 1: joining forces with the PAC twelve. I think that could happen.

2167
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 3: Well, that would if that would come to fruition.

2168
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:48,519
Speaker 2: The reason why you see teams it takes them a

2169
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 2: while to adapt and adjusts is because you have to

2170
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:53,439
Speaker 2: know what is winning and playing in your what's playing

2171
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:55,800
Speaker 2: and what's winning in your conference before you can build

2172
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:57,760
Speaker 2: out your team. And so when you go to the

2173
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:00,840
Speaker 2: Big twelve and you look at the dollar players, you

2174
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 2: go through the cycle and you see how people are winning.

2175
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:04,840
Speaker 2: Are they throwing all over the yard? Are they ground

2176
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:06,840
Speaker 2: and pound teams? How do we need to build our

2177
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:09,679
Speaker 2: defense to defend these offenses? How do we need to

2178
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 2: construct our offense to fend off these defenses?

2179
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 3: What personnel do we need? Are we behind?

2180
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:18,640
Speaker 2: Are we deficient our roster from top to bottom? Is

2181
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:21,200
Speaker 2: it on par with the top teams in the league?

2182
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:23,760
Speaker 2: If not, what can we do quickly to kind of

2183
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:28,280
Speaker 2: close the gap. Once they're able to create a conference

2184
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 2: and put six, seven, eight more teams in, then you'll

2185
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:36,240
Speaker 2: get a chance to see this conference grow and they'll

2186
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 2: increasingly get better as these teams grow and improve and

2187
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 2: develop a sense of familiarity with one another.

2188
01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to find that out. How are the

2189
01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:47,639
Speaker 1: college football Playoff teams selected on this new format, now,

2190
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:50,200
Speaker 1: the new twelve team college football playoff field. They're going

2191
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:53,800
Speaker 1: to include the five highest rank conference champions, which is

2192
01:40:53,840 --> 01:40:56,559
Speaker 1: pretty good. I enjoyed it. I think that's fair. They're

2193
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:59,280
Speaker 1: going to receive automatic bits, all right, and the seven

2194
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:03,200
Speaker 1: highest rank teams remaining will round out the twelve team format.

2195
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:06,439
Speaker 1: The seven highest ranked teams that are remaining. What does

2196
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:09,320
Speaker 1: that mean? Will that mean also like the Group of five,

2197
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:10,639
Speaker 1: they'll be involved as well.

2198
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:15,960
Speaker 2: I mean if they're in the if they're in the rankings, yeah,

2199
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:17,760
Speaker 2: they can get in there, but they have to be

2200
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 2: worthy of being able to play, and the rankings that

2201
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:24,760
Speaker 2: we've seen it'll do that. So now we get at

2202
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 2: least all five conference champions in. That eliminates some of

2203
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:31,160
Speaker 2: that stuff. So it's it's almost like the old NCAA tournament.

2204
01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:34,320
Speaker 2: You win in basketball, you win, you win your league,

2205
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 2: you're automatically into the tournament. Well, now you have seven

2206
01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:40,160
Speaker 2: at large, seven wildcard spots that you can pass out

2207
01:41:40,200 --> 01:41:41,800
Speaker 2: and divvy up in any way.

2208
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:44,640
Speaker 3: We even get the best feel that you can get because.

2209
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:48,000
Speaker 2: With fourteen twelve teams or fourteen teams, whatever it ends

2210
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:49,880
Speaker 2: up being, you can get the best of the best.

2211
01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 2: You may have some stinkers maybe in the early rounds,

2212
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 2: but for the most part, you can get very competitive games,

2213
01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:57,720
Speaker 2: guys on the big stage playing and I think you'll

2214
01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:01,839
Speaker 2: have a you'll see minimal, minimal amount of guys opting

2215
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 2: out or waving it off because it does have an

2216
01:42:04,840 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 2: opportunity to give them opportunity to win a national title.

2217
01:42:07,479 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 1: I think it's great because now all of a sudden,

2218
01:42:09,360 --> 01:42:12,240
Speaker 1: reading a conference title means something. You look at the

2219
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:15,720
Speaker 1: NCUBA Basketball Tournament. You could win your conference and there's

2220
01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 1: a real good chance you may go to the NCUBAA tournament.

2221
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:21,160
Speaker 1: But now with the conference tournaments, there's a chance you

2222
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 1: might lose in the conference tournament. The conference tournament win,

2223
01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 1: it automatically goes and basically, if you have maybe a

2224
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:29,920
Speaker 1: poor record, you may not go. You may be not

2225
01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 1: large out of the sixty eight teams that go. There's

2226
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 1: a good chance you'll go. But I think that you

2227
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:37,320
Speaker 1: should get something. But winning a conference title it should

2228
01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:40,479
Speaker 1: mean something. And in college basketball really and truly doesn't

2229
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:41,040
Speaker 1: mean much.

2230
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:46,280
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't mean much in college basketball, but now

2231
01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:48,880
Speaker 2: it'll mean a lot to these teams that are that

2232
01:42:48,920 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 2: are moving over and doing this kind of stuff. I mean,

2233
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:53,559
Speaker 2: like being able to lock in. I mean, that's the

2234
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 2: surest way. I mean people talk about it in the

2235
01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:58,759
Speaker 2: National Football League all the time. You're Andy Reid reference

2236
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 2: it or whatever to guaranteed ticket to the postseason. Win

2237
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:06,400
Speaker 2: your division automatically grants your pass to the playoffs. It's

2238
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:08,400
Speaker 2: the first thing that people talk about when your division,

2239
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:12,719
Speaker 2: when your conference then eventually win the Super Bowl. College

2240
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:16,599
Speaker 2: teams would take a similar approach. Let's win our league

2241
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,040
Speaker 2: because that grants us a spot into the tournament, and

2242
01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:21,040
Speaker 2: once we get into the tournament, anybody can win it.

2243
01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 2: That'd be a change, a mind shift from for a

2244
01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:28,640
Speaker 2: lot of teams. And it was great about it. A

2245
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 2: lot of teams in the past could win their league

2246
01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 2: but never have an opportunity to go compete for the

2247
01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:35,799
Speaker 2: national title.

2248
01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:37,880
Speaker 3: Now you have an opportunity to do it.

2249
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 2: You win your gay guys, we get the dance just

2250
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:41,960
Speaker 2: like everybody else, and we get to see how we

2251
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:43,320
Speaker 2: stack up against the rest of those teams.

2252
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be tremendous. Ever, really doing the

2253
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:47,600
Speaker 1: top four teams where receive a first round by to

2254
01:43:47,680 --> 01:43:51,400
Speaker 1: the quarterfinals, so you got five going against twelve six, eleven, seven,

2255
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 1: ten and eight against nine. Now, if you want to

2256
01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 1: take a pig of what if would have looked like

2257
01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 1: this past year, the first three teams would have been

2258
01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:03,599
Speaker 1: Michigan in Washington, Texas okay. Then you got Alabama, Florida State,

2259
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:08,519
Speaker 1: and Georgia. Then Ohio State would be seven, Oregon would

2260
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 1: have been eight, Missouri would have been nine, then Penn State, Ole,

2261
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 1: miss Oklahoma, and LSU would be thirteen, looking in, knocking

2262
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:20,680
Speaker 1: on the door, looking in. So pretty good field, and

2263
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 1: you got some good teams and you're not gonna have

2264
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:24,719
Speaker 1: one team dominate. I mean, you know, in the old

2265
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 1: way in the fourteen deal is like it was Alabama

2266
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:32,919
Speaker 1: basically almost every year. I mean, Alabama going in Alabama, Georgia, Georgia, Alabama.

2267
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:35,920
Speaker 1: Now you know, it's great. Let the best teams in

2268
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:37,960
Speaker 1: there and let them battle it out. I like it.

2269
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:39,680
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be great. I really do.

2270
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:42,280
Speaker 2: Okay, And so, so what never made since previously, and

2271
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this, it never made sense to me

2272
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:47,280
Speaker 2: that the lower levels had playoffs and the upper level

2273
01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 2: did you know what was known as one double A

2274
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 2: division two and something. They all had playoffs. They had

2275
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:56,919
Speaker 2: teams that win it. You had to run the gauntlet

2276
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 2: to do it.

2277
01:44:57,840 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 3: Well.

2278
01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 2: Now the Power five conferences they needed be able to

2279
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:02,439
Speaker 2: do it. And I know everyone is worried about the

2280
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:03,960
Speaker 2: bowl games and what happens.

2281
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:04,439
Speaker 3: To the bowl games.

2282
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 2: I mean we'll see, I believe at some point you

2283
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,720
Speaker 2: can see a divide between football. You can see the

2284
01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:16,559
Speaker 2: Power five teams go and play and have their own playoff,

2285
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:18,599
Speaker 2: and then I think you'll see the group of five

2286
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:22,240
Speaker 2: teams go and have their own version of a playoff,

2287
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:24,920
Speaker 2: and we'll see a little champion and a big champion.

2288
01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:27,720
Speaker 2: Because it's very similar to high school ball. There's a

2289
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 2: reason why there's five A four, A three, A two,

2290
01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:34,639
Speaker 2: A one A. Some of that is based on school

2291
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:39,639
Speaker 2: enrollment and sometimes is tradition and those things. Well, as

2292
01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:42,599
Speaker 2: we get farther down the line with nil and money

2293
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:45,719
Speaker 2: and being able to keep up, you may have teams

2294
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:47,559
Speaker 2: that just say, hey man, we don't want to compete

2295
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:49,799
Speaker 2: with the big boys when it comes to nil and

2296
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:52,040
Speaker 2: all of this stuff. Why do we form our own

2297
01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:54,160
Speaker 2: little division where we have our own set of rules

2298
01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:55,760
Speaker 2: and we do it and we have a playoff for that.

2299
01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:58,599
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a sustainable model to think that

2300
01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:01,679
Speaker 2: small schools, a small school like a San Jose State

2301
01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:04,160
Speaker 2: has to try and keep up with the budget that

2302
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:07,360
Speaker 2: Georgia has playing on the same level. I think it's

2303
01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:08,880
Speaker 2: too hard to do, and I think it's too hard

2304
01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 2: to sustain over a long time.

2305
01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:12,920
Speaker 1: Well said, I'll tell you why, I go on stuff further.

2306
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 1: You said, it was crazy the Division two and those

2307
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:18,400
Speaker 1: schools of subdivision had playoffs and the big boys didn't.

2308
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:20,559
Speaker 1: I'll go on stuff further back in the day. And

2309
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:22,240
Speaker 1: it may have been when you played, they didn't even

2310
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:24,440
Speaker 1: have a playoff. In Division one. It was the Associated

2311
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:27,040
Speaker 1: Press decided who the national champion was. They didn't even

2312
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:29,519
Speaker 1: have a playoffs. It was crazy, it was.

2313
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:31,320
Speaker 2: It was when I played, and there were two poles.

2314
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:34,040
Speaker 2: It was either the coach's pole that came later in

2315
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 2: the AP pole or it used to be the UPI

2316
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 2: and the AP pole back then, and it was all

2317
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:42,439
Speaker 2: decided by the quote unquote eyeball test. To me, this

2318
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:44,439
Speaker 2: is more like what it should be. It should be

2319
01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:47,800
Speaker 2: a playoff where you have a ton of teams and

2320
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:49,559
Speaker 2: do it and everyone say, oh, the score is gonna

2321
01:46:49,560 --> 01:46:52,360
Speaker 2: be lopsided, so what doesn't matter. They're lopsided in high

2322
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 2: school when you watch the first round, they lopsided. Sometimes

2323
01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:58,040
Speaker 2: in the pros. That's just what it is. But put

2324
01:46:58,080 --> 01:46:59,920
Speaker 2: all those teams out there, because then at least we

2325
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:02,360
Speaker 2: can say it was decided on the field. The best

2326
01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:04,559
Speaker 2: teams were in the playoff tournament and the team at

2327
01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 2: rand the Gallet, they deserve to be the champ.

2328
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:09,560
Speaker 1: There you go said it. Well, that's Bucky Brooks, I

2329
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:12,840
Speaker 1: mean defirming. This is Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio,

2330
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:16,400
Speaker 1: and maybe he just needed a break. That's coming up

2331
01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:21,639
Speaker 1: next live from the Tyraq dot com studios. But first,

2332
01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:23,639
Speaker 1: Kevin Wyatt, what all your sports?

2333
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:24,160
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2334
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:27,839
Speaker 11: In Major League Baseball, some developing news over night, Cody

2335
01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:32,400
Speaker 11: Bellinger has signed a contract three years, eighty million dollars

2336
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 11: as he waited till spring training to pick his next move,

2337
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:40,640
Speaker 11: and he will return to Chicago to play for the Cubs.

2338
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 11: In college basketball, all the talk is about the Wake

2339
01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:46,439
Speaker 11: Forest Duke game. And it's not because the Demon Deacons

2340
01:47:46,479 --> 01:47:48,439
Speaker 11: upset the Blue Devils eighty three to seventy nine. It's

2341
01:47:48,479 --> 01:47:53,200
Speaker 11: because Duke star Kyle Pilapowski suffered a knee injury in

2342
01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:55,680
Speaker 11: a collision with a fan who is a part of

2343
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 11: the crowd who stormed the court to celebrate the upset

2344
01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:02,240
Speaker 11: victory for wake Forest. So we'll see what the NCAA

2345
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:06,919
Speaker 11: in various conferences do going forward to address court storming

2346
01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:10,160
Speaker 11: by home team fans. As for the other action on

2347
01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 11: the hardwood, Number two Houston, number eleven Baylor, huge matchup

2348
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 11: of the Big twelve, and it went to overtime. Baylor

2349
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:18,120
Speaker 11: had a chance to seal the game in regulation but

2350
01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:20,000
Speaker 11: just couldn't get it done with the free throw line

2351
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:22,080
Speaker 11: that allowed the Coogs to force overtime, where they do

2352
01:48:22,160 --> 01:48:23,679
Speaker 11: win in eighty two to seventy six.

2353
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:25,720
Speaker 8: In the SEC.

2354
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:29,759
Speaker 11: Number seventeen Kentucky, Number thirteen Alabama, This had the makings

2355
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:31,320
Speaker 11: of a big matchup, but it really wasn't.

2356
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:32,120
Speaker 8: Much of a contest at all.

2357
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:35,599
Speaker 11: The Wildcats an absolute dismantling of the Crimson Tide one

2358
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 11: seventeen ninety five. Bama was alone in first place in

2359
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:42,799
Speaker 11: the SEC, but that is no longer in the ACC.

2360
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 11: Number ten North Carolina putting on a defensive clinic against Virginia,

2361
01:48:47,080 --> 01:48:49,400
Speaker 11: they did not allow more than six points through the

2362
01:48:49,479 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 11: first fourteen minutes of this game against the Cavaliers and

2363
01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:55,160
Speaker 11: they do win it fifty four to forty four. In

2364
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:57,320
Speaker 11: the PAC twelve, it was the matchup of the Arizona

2365
01:48:57,360 --> 01:48:59,840
Speaker 11: Schools in the Washington Schools first the number four wild

2366
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:02,639
Speaker 11: back in first place of the PAC twelve, they beat

2367
01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:06,200
Speaker 11: the Washington Husky ninety one seventy five Washington State. However,

2368
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:09,080
Speaker 11: the twenty first rank Cougar is upset by Arizona State

2369
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:12,719
Speaker 11: and Tempe seventy three eight is sixty one and out west.

2370
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:17,439
Speaker 11: Saint Mary's still perfect in conference play number eighteen. Saint

2371
01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 11: Mary's beat San Diego eighty eight sixty two. They're fourteen

2372
01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:25,320
Speaker 11: and oh in the WCC. In the NBA, the Celtics

2373
01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 11: now have won eight games in a row, including one

2374
01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:31,600
Speaker 11: sixteen one oh two victory against the New York Knits.

2380
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:55,120
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, Thanks Keevisey about an hour now,

2381
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:58,400
Speaker 1: are his days really numbered? That's coming right up. That's

2382
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,240
Speaker 1: coming right up right here of Sports Sunday its Fox

2383
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:04,240
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, and of course he's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman,

2384
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 1: and we're live from the tiraq dot com studios. Now,

2385
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:09,559
Speaker 1: the blame Game's coming up in about seven eight minutes

2386
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:13,120
Speaker 1: for now, but let's talk social media for just a minute,

2387
01:50:13,479 --> 01:50:17,920
Speaker 1: Bucket Brooks, what do coaches tell their players about guidelines

2388
01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:21,120
Speaker 1: perhaps with social media, because you look at the pro level,

2389
01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:23,919
Speaker 1: it gets out of control. I mean they're baiting other players,

2390
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:27,639
Speaker 1: they're fighting on social media. It's crazy. I don't see

2391
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:29,759
Speaker 1: that much in college. So there must be some ground

2392
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:31,400
Speaker 1: rules that coaches tell these guys.

2393
01:50:33,520 --> 01:50:34,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you try and tell them to

2394
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:35,160
Speaker 3: be smart.

2395
01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:38,479
Speaker 2: You try and try and tell them to I think

2396
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 2: the best way to say it is if you wouldn't

2397
01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 2: want your grandma.

2398
01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:42,400
Speaker 3: To see it, don't post it.

2399
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:45,160
Speaker 2: And so I think some well you click and coaches try,

2400
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 2: yeah to hear that. It's different when you get to

2401
01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:51,200
Speaker 2: the upper levels. I mean you're talking about grown men.

2402
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 2: Grown men have opinions. They have the right to kind

2403
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:55,240
Speaker 2: of say what they want to say, how they feel

2404
01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:57,760
Speaker 2: about certain things, and you can't police that. You just

2405
01:50:57,800 --> 01:50:59,559
Speaker 2: try and tell them, hey, make sure you always keep

2406
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:02,839
Speaker 2: the team first. And if you keep the team first,

2407
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:06,280
Speaker 2: most of the time you'll make reasonable posts that won't

2408
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:07,840
Speaker 2: do harm to the team.

2409
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:09,519
Speaker 3: But it's not one hundred percent.

2410
01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:11,920
Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, man, you just

2411
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:14,840
Speaker 2: don't want anyone to embarrass the team. And as long

2412
01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:16,519
Speaker 2: as they don't embarrass the team, you can live with

2413
01:51:16,600 --> 01:51:18,400
Speaker 2: some of the other stuff that people do because ultimately

2414
01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:20,800
Speaker 2: they have to account for that when they're asked questions

2415
01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:23,240
Speaker 2: about media about why they take certain stances about certain

2416
01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:24,160
Speaker 2: issues or whatever.

2417
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:27,559
Speaker 1: Perhaps the most dangerous four letter words in sports today

2418
01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:31,880
Speaker 1: is send. Really, when you click that send button, in

2419
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 1: other words, we'll see what happens. But I'll go back

2420
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:35,800
Speaker 1: here because we talk about the Chicago Bears in their

2421
01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:40,200
Speaker 1: quarterback Justin Fields. He recently unfollowed the Bears on Instagram.

2422
01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:43,120
Speaker 1: He said he needed a break from social media this offseason.

2423
01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:46,280
Speaker 1: That's fine. I agree with him. Perhaps it's true, but

2424
01:51:46,520 --> 01:51:48,840
Speaker 1: the media people wouldn't let it rest. They wouldn't let

2425
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:50,680
Speaker 1: it rest. They say it's because he's not going to

2426
01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:52,320
Speaker 1: be a Bear, doesn't want to be a Bear. Well,

2427
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:54,559
Speaker 1: maybe he knows that he's gone from the Chicago Bears

2428
01:51:54,600 --> 01:51:56,679
Speaker 1: because the Bears have the number one pick in April,

2429
01:51:56,680 --> 01:51:58,960
Speaker 1: in the April draft. And anytime you have a number one,

2430
01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:01,000
Speaker 1: what do you do. You got to pick a quarterback,

2431
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:03,840
Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams is on target, I guess to be

2432
01:52:03,920 --> 01:52:08,960
Speaker 1: the next Chicago Bears quarterback. You know, honestly, it's I

2433
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:11,439
Speaker 1: think it's much ado about nothing. Leave the guy alone.

2434
01:52:11,760 --> 01:52:14,080
Speaker 1: He just nun followed him on Instagram and everybody's making

2435
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:16,760
Speaker 1: a big to do about it. But maybe he knows

2436
01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:17,719
Speaker 1: something that we don't.

2437
01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:21,599
Speaker 2: Well not that I mean, like, so, here's the thing

2438
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:24,200
Speaker 2: and here's the thing that urged me about our industry

2439
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 2: when it comes to it, So we want to create

2440
01:52:26,320 --> 01:52:29,840
Speaker 2: these soap operas, but have players act as real characters.

2441
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:32,760
Speaker 2: So we want to talk about Justin Fields, why are

2442
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:34,200
Speaker 2: they going to trade them? Why are they gonna keep

2443
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:36,960
Speaker 2: them on and on and on every day. Well, if

2444
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:38,760
Speaker 2: you're going to talk about that and then tag the

2445
01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:41,479
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears, well Justin Fields has to read that. For

2446
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:43,479
Speaker 2: your own mental health. You don't want to see that

2447
01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:46,040
Speaker 2: every day. You don't want to be involved in that

2448
01:52:46,120 --> 01:52:50,240
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. And so I believe he's probably kind

2449
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:52,680
Speaker 2: of separating from the Bears because he doesn't want to

2450
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:55,719
Speaker 2: read about the speculation over the next two weeks, because

2451
01:52:55,760 --> 01:52:58,080
Speaker 2: guess what this week at the Combine, it's gonna be

2452
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:00,519
Speaker 2: the number one story. Is Justin Fields gonna traded? When

2453
01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:02,559
Speaker 2: he's gonna be traded? Are they gonna take Killer Williams?

2454
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,040
Speaker 2: He gets old. You just want to be able to

2455
01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:09,679
Speaker 2: separate from it and kind of live. I guess maybe

2456
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:12,160
Speaker 2: a bit of a normal existence where you don't have

2457
01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:13,200
Speaker 2: to talk about it.

2458
01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:14,479
Speaker 3: It's not shoved in your face.

2459
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 2: I get it from his standpoint, and everyone who's mad

2460
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:20,280
Speaker 2: about it, fine, because they're the same people that are

2461
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:22,439
Speaker 2: saying that they need to get rid of him. So

2462
01:53:22,840 --> 01:53:25,479
Speaker 2: I don't know why you want to participate in your

2463
01:53:25,640 --> 01:53:26,920
Speaker 2: in your soap opera.

2464
01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 3: If you don't want him there, then let him go.

2465
01:53:29,160 --> 01:53:31,439
Speaker 3: He doesn't. He has the right to kind of say yeah,

2466
01:53:31,439 --> 01:53:32,479
Speaker 3: and I'm good. I don't need to.

2467
01:53:32,479 --> 01:53:35,439
Speaker 2: Read about these negative stories and all of that stuff.

2468
01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:38,960
Speaker 2: So to me, it is much ado about nothing. It's

2469
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:39,879
Speaker 2: a silly story.

2470
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:41,000
Speaker 3: And I think.

2471
01:53:40,840 --> 01:53:44,559
Speaker 2: We we are what we are when it comes to

2472
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:48,040
Speaker 2: how we cover and how we report these things. I

2473
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:49,639
Speaker 2: think he has the right to be able to kind

2474
01:53:49,640 --> 01:53:51,360
Speaker 2: of separate himself from that.

2475
01:53:52,280 --> 01:53:54,120
Speaker 1: I love what he said. He said, why don't people

2476
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:56,320
Speaker 1: think social media is so serious? That's what he said.

2477
01:53:56,320 --> 01:53:58,320
Speaker 1: I still mess with the Bears. I do this and that.

2478
01:53:58,560 --> 01:54:00,559
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to take a little break. I unfollow

2479
01:54:00,640 --> 01:54:03,200
Speaker 1: the Bears and the NFL. I'm not just trying to

2480
01:54:03,200 --> 01:54:05,599
Speaker 1: have my football and my timeline. I get it, Okay,

2481
01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:08,560
Speaker 1: it's something that I don't want to see on my timeline.

2482
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm about to go on vacation. I don't want to

2483
01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:13,439
Speaker 1: see no football, he said. And guess what the social

2484
01:54:13,479 --> 01:54:17,160
Speaker 1: media discourses either keyth Fields, we want Fields. It's either

2485
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:20,120
Speaker 1: Dreff Kayla Williams. I'm tired of hearing the talk. I

2486
01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:22,080
Speaker 1: just want it to be over. And I can't blame him.

2487
01:54:22,240 --> 01:54:24,240
Speaker 1: You know, wherever he goes, I mean everybody he sees.

2488
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:27,200
Speaker 2: I mean it's been it's been like that for an

2489
01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:29,799
Speaker 2: entire year. He's had to deal with it. Like everyone

2490
01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:31,080
Speaker 2: thinks it's funny, it's.

2491
01:54:30,960 --> 01:54:31,759
Speaker 3: A great story.

2492
01:54:32,040 --> 01:54:35,120
Speaker 2: Hey, man, Like Kayler Williams, Justin Fields every week has

2493
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:37,640
Speaker 2: been there. Oh he's playing for his job. That is

2494
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:39,920
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure, does a lot of stress every day.

2495
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:42,280
Speaker 2: They kind of have to deal with it and for

2496
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 2: him to exist sometimes you need to move away from

2497
01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 2: that part of the social media consumption because you don't

2498
01:54:51,640 --> 01:54:53,400
Speaker 2: want to have to see it every day. You don't

2499
01:54:53,440 --> 01:54:55,000
Speaker 2: want to have to deal with it and talk about

2500
01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:57,200
Speaker 2: it and all that other stuff that we want him

2501
01:54:57,240 --> 01:54:59,520
Speaker 2: to do. Because he is fun for us, it's real

2502
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:03,800
Speaker 2: life for him. Sometimes players have to take those things

2503
01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:06,040
Speaker 2: into their own hands, and I applaud them for his

2504
01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:07,040
Speaker 2: decision to separate.

2505
01:55:07,200 --> 01:55:08,640
Speaker 3: It's his decision. He should be able to do what

2506
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:09,720
Speaker 3: he wants when it comes to it.

2507
01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:13,680
Speaker 1: And I'll ask you this question as an NFL player,

2508
01:55:13,720 --> 01:55:16,080
Speaker 1: and of course there's a guy who works in the NFL.

2509
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:18,920
Speaker 1: When you have a number one pick, any time a

2510
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:21,840
Speaker 1: team has a number one pick, no matter how successful

2511
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:24,320
Speaker 1: you are, and certainly if you have a number one pick,

2512
01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:27,480
Speaker 1: obviously you're not that successful, right, I would think, don't

2513
01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:30,040
Speaker 1: you have to draft the quarterback because that's the most

2514
01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:32,440
Speaker 1: important position in the game and those teams that don't

2515
01:55:32,440 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 1: have an outstanding quarterback normally are going to the playoffs

2516
01:55:35,680 --> 01:55:36,760
Speaker 1: and get a number one pick.

2517
01:55:38,240 --> 01:55:40,960
Speaker 2: No, you don't have to the only time you should

2518
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:44,520
Speaker 2: do it is if the quarterback that is available is

2519
01:55:44,560 --> 01:55:47,680
Speaker 2: worthy of being the number one overall pick. Now, the

2520
01:55:47,760 --> 01:55:51,760
Speaker 2: tricky thing is how do you separate what a quarterback

2521
01:55:51,840 --> 01:55:55,280
Speaker 2: truly is with what your biggest need might be?

2522
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:59,880
Speaker 3: You know, and that clouds degrading part of the draft.

2523
01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:00,840
Speaker 3: You know it.

2524
01:56:01,320 --> 01:56:04,440
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just funny how whatever the team needs, it

2525
01:56:04,520 --> 01:56:08,520
Speaker 2: just happens that the draft produces that at a high level.

2526
01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:10,120
Speaker 3: That's not always true.

2527
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:13,560
Speaker 2: All quarterbacks aren't worthy of being taken number one. And

2528
01:56:13,600 --> 01:56:16,440
Speaker 2: the key will be when you look at Kayleb Williams,

2529
01:56:16,640 --> 01:56:19,040
Speaker 2: is Caleb Williams the best player in the draft? Is

2530
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:21,440
Speaker 2: he worthy of being up there? Does he change the

2531
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:25,800
Speaker 2: game in a way that you say that clearly he's

2532
01:56:25,840 --> 01:56:29,080
Speaker 2: the best player in this draft? Hands down is undisputed.

2533
01:56:29,480 --> 01:56:32,680
Speaker 2: You got to make that decision, that determination with these quarterbacks.

2534
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:35,320
Speaker 2: If they're not worth being up there, they shouldn't be drafted.

2535
01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:38,880
Speaker 2: And we'll say this time and time again, when you

2536
01:56:38,920 --> 01:56:41,360
Speaker 2: push up the quarterback, because everyone is going to say

2537
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:43,480
Speaker 2: it's the most important position, you got to push him up.

2538
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:46,240
Speaker 2: But we've seen in recent years, how many failures have

2539
01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:49,960
Speaker 2: we seen with top ten quarterbacks. We've seen Zach Wilson Faulter,

2540
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:53,160
Speaker 2: We've seen Trade Lance be traded. We've seen Sam Donald

2541
01:56:53,480 --> 01:56:59,440
Speaker 2: bounce around, We've seen Baker Mayfield bounce around to morrow. Yeah,

2542
01:56:59,480 --> 01:57:01,680
Speaker 2: I mean like going, I mean you go all the

2543
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:03,560
Speaker 2: way back to that. I mean like we talked about

2544
01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:06,760
Speaker 2: Josh Rolin, who got Josh rozen who got drafted. Outside

2545
01:57:06,760 --> 01:57:09,800
Speaker 2: of that, I mean, we have seen Mitch Trubisky second

2546
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 2: overall pick time and time again. There have been more

2547
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:15,440
Speaker 2: misses at the top of the board than hits.

2548
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:16,640
Speaker 3: So we're doing.

2549
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:19,640
Speaker 2: Something wrong when it comes to evaluating the quarterback. Maybe

2550
01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:23,840
Speaker 2: it's as simple as take the best player available in

2551
01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:28,120
Speaker 2: the draft and just build with good players and eventually

2552
01:57:28,160 --> 01:57:29,680
Speaker 2: the team will figure itself out.

2553
01:57:29,960 --> 01:57:31,600
Speaker 1: Okay, before you roll here, let me put you on

2554
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:33,520
Speaker 1: the spot. Do the Bears draft the quarterback?

2555
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:37,080
Speaker 2: I mean they will draft a quarterback because everyone is

2556
01:57:37,120 --> 01:57:38,920
Speaker 2: going to say that Kayleb Williams is that guy.

2557
01:57:38,920 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 3: They're gonna feel the pressure to do that.

2558
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:43,960
Speaker 2: They're going to maybe make the comparisons to oh, maybe

2559
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:47,640
Speaker 2: he's Pat Mahomes like, and we don't want to bypass that,

2560
01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:51,400
Speaker 2: like the Bears bypassed on Mahomes years ago, and we'll

2561
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:53,880
Speaker 2: see if he can live up to it. I'm not

2562
01:57:53,960 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 2: as convinced that he's a slam dunk to be a

2563
01:57:56,720 --> 01:57:59,360
Speaker 2: star at the next level. As some would say, he's

2564
01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:02,200
Speaker 2: a really good quarterback. He's a really good prospect, and

2565
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:05,080
Speaker 2: we'll see how he works at the next level in

2566
01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:07,960
Speaker 2: the system that he's going to be put in, because

2567
01:58:07,960 --> 01:58:10,360
Speaker 2: the system matters a lot when it comes to players

2568
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:11,200
Speaker 2: in player success.

2569
01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:14,280
Speaker 1: Sounds good. He's Bucky Brooks, some iny firmowheel of Fox

2570
01:58:14,320 --> 01:58:17,560
Speaker 1: Sports Sunday on Fox Butt's ready, it's time. It's that time.

2571
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:21,480
Speaker 1: It's time to vent the playing game. It's next the

2572
01:58:21,520 --> 01:58:24,800
Speaker 1: blame game coming right up. It's about day Mayken five

2573
01:58:24,800 --> 01:58:26,400
Speaker 1: minutes before the top of the hour. There's his Fox

2574
01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:28,880
Speaker 1: Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. He's Bucky Brooks and

2575
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:31,920
Speaker 1: Andy fremenwill live from the tyrock dot Com studios. But

2576
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:34,520
Speaker 1: it's time. Let's play you ruin me.

2577
01:58:34,720 --> 01:58:37,640
Speaker 8: It's all your fault, it's your fault.

2578
01:58:37,920 --> 01:58:45,920
Speaker 1: It's is all your fault. Maybe it's everyone's fault, the liar.

2579
01:58:46,120 --> 01:58:48,760
Speaker 1: That's why there's the blame game, the blame game. Let's

2580
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:52,440
Speaker 1: figure out who to blame, all right, I man.

2581
01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:56,760
Speaker 4: Take it over, all right, the blame game. So how

2582
01:58:56,800 --> 01:58:59,440
Speaker 4: it works. We're gonna read off a few storylines for

2583
01:58:59,480 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 4: each of you to ask who you blame. And then

2584
01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:03,760
Speaker 4: at the end, we're gonna decide who ended up winning.

2585
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:08,360
Speaker 4: So first off, Creighton University basketball fans last week chanted

2586
01:59:08,600 --> 01:59:11,720
Speaker 4: fu at Yukon coach Danny Hurley during their game.

2587
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:13,200
Speaker 8: Who do you blame? Andy?

2588
01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:16,720
Speaker 1: All Right? It's the officials you want to control this garbage.

2589
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:19,040
Speaker 1: Put a technical foul on the fans at the home

2590
01:59:19,080 --> 01:59:21,520
Speaker 1: team and they'll stop it immediately because the coach of

2591
01:59:21,560 --> 01:59:24,560
Speaker 1: gold Nuts. Blame it on the officials, Bucky.

2592
01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:27,560
Speaker 2: I blame it on the parents of all of the fans.

2593
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 3: I blame on the fans for not raising him.

2594
01:59:29,800 --> 01:59:33,160
Speaker 2: Right, were they gonna use like curse words at the

2595
01:59:33,160 --> 01:59:35,320
Speaker 2: opposing coach? I understand cheering for your team, but that's

2596
01:59:35,400 --> 01:59:36,040
Speaker 2: kind of that's.

2597
01:59:35,920 --> 01:59:37,280
Speaker 3: A lot, it's a little edgy.

2598
01:59:38,120 --> 01:59:40,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're gonna give that one to Andy. All right.

2599
01:59:40,080 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 4: Next, Johnny Manzel recently said publicly that Reggie Bush deserves

2600
01:59:44,320 --> 01:59:47,400
Speaker 4: to have his heisman back. It's been fourteen years and

2601
01:59:47,520 --> 01:59:49,840
Speaker 4: il rules have changed a lot, and he still doesn't

2602
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:51,560
Speaker 4: have it back. Who do you blame, Bucky?

2603
01:59:53,640 --> 01:59:56,840
Speaker 2: Look, I blame the NCAA for making it a ridiculous

2604
01:59:56,840 --> 01:59:58,800
Speaker 2: case against Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush should have never had

2605
01:59:58,800 --> 02:00:01,160
Speaker 2: his heights been taken, he needs to give it back.

2606
02:00:01,760 --> 02:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Andy, I blame Johnny Manziel. Clear up your own act.

2607
02:00:04,520 --> 02:00:06,640
Speaker 1: To worry about yourself while you're not playing in the NFL.

2608
02:00:06,680 --> 02:00:08,600
Speaker 1: What do you worry about Reggie Bush for? So that's

2609
02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:11,960
Speaker 1: what I blame Johnny Manziel. Keep your nose clean and

2610
02:00:12,080 --> 02:00:13,120
Speaker 1: stay in your own lane.

2611
02:00:13,200 --> 02:00:14,200
Speaker 8: All right, that's Bucky.

2612
02:00:14,720 --> 02:00:17,720
Speaker 4: The Ohio Casino Control Commission granted a request by the

2613
02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:21,959
Speaker 4: NC DOUBLEA to prohibit wagering on prop bets involving collegiate athletes.

2614
02:00:22,040 --> 02:00:23,440
Speaker 8: Who do you blame, Andy.

2615
02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:26,720
Speaker 1: I blame the Ohio committee because they have no hanky dows.

2616
02:00:26,880 --> 02:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Tell the NC double A to stick it. We're betting

2617
02:00:29,080 --> 02:00:31,240
Speaker 1: on everything else than anything else, So blame it on

2618
02:00:31,280 --> 02:00:32,280
Speaker 1: that control Commission.

2619
02:00:33,360 --> 02:00:34,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I'm okay with that.

2620
02:00:34,880 --> 02:00:38,280
Speaker 2: They shouldn't allow people to bid on college things like

2621
02:00:38,280 --> 02:00:40,280
Speaker 2: that because it given fieltrate to the key is. We've

2622
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:43,760
Speaker 2: seen scandals in the past. Yeah, so I look, I'm

2623
02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:45,600
Speaker 2: okay with your higher commission doing it.

2624
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:48,000
Speaker 4: That's a close one. We'll give it to Bucky, all right. Lastly,

2625
02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:50,720
Speaker 4: we have TV streaming is the wave of the future.

2626
02:00:50,800 --> 02:00:52,440
Speaker 4: Who is to blame Bucky?

2627
02:00:54,160 --> 02:00:57,440
Speaker 2: The millennials because they don't like regular TV, they don't

2628
02:00:57,480 --> 02:00:58,160
Speaker 2: like linear TV.

2629
02:00:58,240 --> 02:00:59,320
Speaker 3: Streaming is the rage.

2630
02:01:00,160 --> 02:01:02,920
Speaker 1: No, No, it's the commissions of the leagues because they

2631
02:01:02,960 --> 02:01:06,000
Speaker 1: basically are money hungry. That's what they are, money hungry.

2632
02:01:06,080 --> 02:01:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't like them. That's what they are. Stay with us.

2633
02:01:08,400 --> 02:01:14,680

2642
02:01:39,560 --> 02:01:41,760
Speaker 1: before we take another breath, I got to go to

2643
02:01:41,800 --> 02:01:45,240
Speaker 1: our executive producer of the Iman Iman. I want to

2644
02:01:45,320 --> 02:01:49,280
Speaker 1: know who won the last edition of the Blame Game

2645
02:01:49,320 --> 02:01:51,760
Speaker 1: because we got cut off of time, all right, Because

2646
02:01:51,800 --> 02:01:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a pretty competitive guy. Bucky may have

2647
02:01:54,240 --> 02:01:57,720
Speaker 1: played in the NFL, but I'm pretty competitive myself. I

2648
02:01:57,800 --> 02:01:59,560
Speaker 1: want to know who won it was?

2649
02:02:00,160 --> 02:02:02,280
Speaker 4: It was a close one this week, but we're giving

2650
02:02:02,280 --> 02:02:05,080
Speaker 4: the nod to Bucky. Of course, I'm very sorry, and.

2651
02:02:05,240 --> 02:02:07,480
Speaker 1: You and Bucky got something going there. I really believe that,

2652
02:02:07,560 --> 02:02:08,000
Speaker 1: you know what.

2653
02:02:08,360 --> 02:02:08,920
Speaker 3: I know.

2654
02:02:09,120 --> 02:02:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm into these theories, and I believe something's happening with

2655
02:02:12,760 --> 02:02:14,960
Speaker 1: you and Bucky because I'm on the outs every week.

2656
02:02:15,160 --> 02:02:16,600
Speaker 1: I get it. I could live with it.

2657
02:02:17,520 --> 02:02:20,200
Speaker 4: But he's just I think he's just better at blaming

2658
02:02:21,360 --> 02:02:22,880
Speaker 4: one side as opposed to the other.

2659
02:02:23,400 --> 02:02:25,760
Speaker 1: Really, he's a better finger pointer than me.

2660
02:02:25,920 --> 02:02:27,600
Speaker 8: Yes, that's that's a good way of putting it, all right.

2661
02:02:27,600 --> 02:02:28,320
Speaker 8: Oh then I just.

2662
02:02:28,360 --> 02:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Wanted to know who It was no problem to get

2663
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:30,440
Speaker 1: him next week.

2664
02:02:30,360 --> 02:02:31,920
Speaker 8: Not like you can't get better though you can win

2665
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:32,480
Speaker 8: next week.

2666
02:02:32,880 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 1: Well I am. I'm gonna point the finger at you

2667
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:37,360
Speaker 1: right now. Get away, leave me alone, go away, all

2668
02:02:37,480 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 1: right now. I've always had this and my good friend

2669
02:02:41,200 --> 02:02:43,880
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth, yes, the man who played in the National

2670
02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:46,280
Speaker 1: Football League. Chris Collinsworth and I we used to do

2671
02:02:46,280 --> 02:02:48,760
Speaker 1: a sports talk show in Cincinnati for years on a

2672
02:02:48,760 --> 02:02:51,600
Speaker 1: big station, seven hundred WLW radio. Matter of fact, but

2673
02:02:51,760 --> 02:02:54,360
Speaker 1: you may remember when I worked before I got into radio,

2674
02:02:54,360 --> 02:02:55,960
Speaker 1: I worked at a racetrack and I had Chris race

2675
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:57,400
Speaker 1: a horse. Do you know about that?

2676
02:02:57,720 --> 02:02:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do know about that.

2677
02:02:59,120 --> 02:03:00,600
Speaker 1: He just liked to talk about it that much. But

2678
02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:04,000
Speaker 1: he did race a horse at Latonia Racecourse in Kentucky,

2679
02:03:04,120 --> 02:03:06,640
Speaker 1: the place basically where I got married. I got married

2680
02:03:06,680 --> 02:03:09,320
Speaker 1: before the first race as a promotion for the racetrack.

2681
02:03:09,520 --> 02:03:13,400
Speaker 1: So I did that. And anyway, he told me, this

2682
02:03:13,480 --> 02:03:15,920
Speaker 1: is a bit of advice, Chris told me, if I've

2683
02:03:15,960 --> 02:03:18,840
Speaker 1: lived with it. Anytime you have a question in the

2684
02:03:18,880 --> 02:03:23,879
Speaker 1: world of sports, it usually revolves around money. Agreed. I mean, seriously,

2685
02:03:24,280 --> 02:03:26,440
Speaker 1: if there's a question, we can't sign this guy, we've

2686
02:03:26,440 --> 02:03:28,520
Speaker 1: got to trade this guy, we can't do this, it's

2687
02:03:28,600 --> 02:03:31,240
Speaker 1: usually about money. That that's the answer to most of

2688
02:03:31,280 --> 02:03:31,879
Speaker 1: the questions.

2689
02:03:32,640 --> 02:03:35,560
Speaker 3: Typically, Yeah, that's that's typically what the issue is when.

2690
02:03:35,480 --> 02:03:37,320
Speaker 1: It comes to Yeah, Chris is a pretty smart.

2691
02:03:37,080 --> 02:03:38,160
Speaker 3: Guy, players or whatever.

2692
02:03:38,280 --> 02:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like working with you and Chris, two smart

2693
02:03:40,920 --> 02:03:43,320
Speaker 1: football guys. You know, it was good. So you got

2694
02:03:43,320 --> 02:03:47,480
Speaker 1: streaming and gambling ratings all make for good NFL paydays,

2695
02:03:47,600 --> 02:03:51,120
Speaker 1: all right, And Friday, the league announced the salary cap

2696
02:03:51,320 --> 02:03:54,000
Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty four season will be a record

2697
02:03:54,120 --> 02:03:56,600
Speaker 1: whopping two hundred and fifty five point five to four

2698
02:03:56,640 --> 02:03:59,960
Speaker 1: million per team. All right, So I'm gonna ask a

2699
02:04:00,080 --> 02:04:03,120
Speaker 1: personal question now, because they say that everything's going to

2700
02:04:03,240 --> 02:04:06,480
Speaker 1: increase over last year, your retirement to health benefits, how

2701
02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:09,320
Speaker 1: does that work? You got NFL retirement, I assume right.

2702
02:04:10,480 --> 02:04:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will.

2703
02:04:11,120 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 2: So what happened is the league commits to donating X

2704
02:04:15,680 --> 02:04:19,280
Speaker 2: amount of percentage into player benefits, and so player benefits

2705
02:04:19,320 --> 02:04:23,720
Speaker 2: and cover everything from healthcare to retirement to after life

2706
02:04:23,720 --> 02:04:27,120
Speaker 2: care all that other stuff. And so as it as

2707
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:31,240
Speaker 2: it continues to go up the revenues, meaning TV deals

2708
02:04:31,280 --> 02:04:35,000
Speaker 2: and things that increase the bottom line for the NFL,

2709
02:04:35,440 --> 02:04:39,879
Speaker 2: the NFL is obligated to increase their contributions to the retirement.

2710
02:04:39,920 --> 02:04:43,400
Speaker 2: So it's a win win for former players and current players.

2711
02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:45,560
Speaker 2: When the seller cap goes up and all that stuff

2712
02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:47,960
Speaker 2: is all good, business is booming, it means that retired

2713
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:49,800
Speaker 2: players also get a little piece of the pie.

2714
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:53,320
Speaker 1: And the health too, the health benefits, yeah, which is good. Yeah,

2715
02:04:53,320 --> 02:04:55,560
Speaker 1: it's great. It was a thirteen point six percent increase

2716
02:04:55,560 --> 02:04:57,920
Speaker 1: over last year's cap. And here's the good news because

2717
02:04:59,160 --> 02:05:01,280
Speaker 1: last year the cap was what between two hundred and

2718
02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:03,480
Speaker 1: forty two hundred and forty five million, and these teams

2719
02:05:03,520 --> 02:05:06,200
Speaker 1: were budgeting for the upcoming year. So here's an example.

2720
02:05:06,240 --> 02:05:08,480
Speaker 1: There are three teams of forty nine ers, the Green

2721
02:05:08,480 --> 02:05:13,240
Speaker 1: Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks. The projected those teams were

2722
02:05:13,280 --> 02:05:16,520
Speaker 1: projected as a Friday to be over the cap, and

2723
02:05:16,520 --> 02:05:18,280
Speaker 1: they should be under the cap right now. And that's

2724
02:05:18,280 --> 02:05:20,360
Speaker 1: going to help them with signing of players, I would think,

2725
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:22,880
Speaker 1: right to definitely help the San Francisco forty nine ers.

2726
02:05:24,440 --> 02:05:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to help them. You have more money.

2727
02:05:26,320 --> 02:05:27,160
Speaker 3: You can now.

2728
02:05:28,520 --> 02:05:31,160
Speaker 2: Change how you allocate those funds, what you want to

2729
02:05:31,200 --> 02:05:34,400
Speaker 2: do to make sure that you can get your team

2730
02:05:34,440 --> 02:05:38,280
Speaker 2: sign you can field the best team. But it doesn't

2731
02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:40,520
Speaker 2: complete evault everything, but it is a huge jump. That

2732
02:05:40,640 --> 02:05:43,480
Speaker 2: jump makes it a lot easier than people anticipated.

2733
02:05:44,280 --> 02:05:46,400
Speaker 1: Right, And this is amazing because this year's salary cap

2734
02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:50,160
Speaker 1: will be thirty point six million dollars more per team

2735
02:05:50,600 --> 02:05:52,840
Speaker 1: than last year's two hundred and twenty four zero point

2736
02:05:52,840 --> 02:05:55,160
Speaker 1: eight million dollars. The largest jump is taken in one

2737
02:05:55,240 --> 02:05:58,440
Speaker 1: year since the last salary cap was introduced in nineteen

2738
02:05:58,520 --> 02:06:01,520
Speaker 1: ninety four. This is big. So what happens now because

2739
02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:04,760
Speaker 1: free agency is right around the corner, right, So this

2740
02:06:04,800 --> 02:06:07,480
Speaker 1: is going to definitely help free agency how does it help.

2741
02:06:07,560 --> 02:06:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, teams right now are going to mark off

2742
02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:11,400
Speaker 1: the players that they want to get now and they

2743
02:06:11,400 --> 02:06:13,560
Speaker 1: have the extra money to get them. I mean, what

2744
02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:15,800
Speaker 1: does it mean. It's great that the salary cap went up,

2745
02:06:16,040 --> 02:06:17,880
Speaker 1: but in reality, how does it work and what is

2746
02:06:17,920 --> 02:06:18,880
Speaker 1: it going to do for teams?

2747
02:06:19,800 --> 02:06:23,720
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to give them the ability to sign

2748
02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:27,840
Speaker 2: more people. Like when you have thirty million extra than

2749
02:06:27,920 --> 02:06:30,880
Speaker 2: you expected, that's significant.

2750
02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:32,720
Speaker 3: You want to make sure you spend wisely.

2751
02:06:33,040 --> 02:06:35,560
Speaker 2: But you'll see teams overspend early in free agency to

2752
02:06:35,600 --> 02:06:37,400
Speaker 2: make sure that you get the player that you want

2753
02:06:37,640 --> 02:06:42,840
Speaker 2: on the open market. It will probably raise salaries a

2754
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:44,959
Speaker 2: little bit because someone is going to sign the blockbuster

2755
02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:49,120
Speaker 2: deal that makes everyone lose their mind. Quarterbacks will continue

2756
02:06:49,120 --> 02:06:52,160
Speaker 2: to get a significant portion of the pie. The pie

2757
02:06:52,200 --> 02:06:56,480
Speaker 2: will go up because you're not able to negotiate agents

2758
02:06:56,560 --> 02:06:58,720
Speaker 2: down because they're going like, yeah, the salary cap is

2759
02:06:58,720 --> 02:07:02,200
Speaker 2: not an issue renegotiating on the value of the quarterback,

2760
02:07:02,280 --> 02:07:03,320
Speaker 2: what do you think about them?

2761
02:07:03,560 --> 02:07:05,560
Speaker 3: And those things. So it eliminates some of the excuse

2762
02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:06,800
Speaker 3: making and freeze.

2763
02:07:06,560 --> 02:07:09,080
Speaker 2: Up a lot more money for players to get paid

2764
02:07:09,120 --> 02:07:10,160
Speaker 2: on the open market.

2765
02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:11,800
Speaker 1: Which is great. So you know they took about the

2766
02:07:11,880 --> 02:07:14,520
Speaker 1: NTAA March madness, But the NFL has their own march

2767
02:07:14,520 --> 02:07:17,240
Speaker 1: man this and that's free agency, which starts March the eleventh.

2768
02:07:17,280 --> 02:07:18,960
Speaker 1: And I got to believe the number one free agent

2769
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:21,600
Speaker 1: on the market, hands down, has to be defensive tackle

2770
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:24,360
Speaker 1: Chris Jones from the Kansas City Chiefs. Oh, here's the deal.

2771
02:07:24,560 --> 02:07:27,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Chiefs for a second. Why he'd

2772
02:07:27,160 --> 02:07:29,920
Speaker 1: want to go? Obviously, money's their reason, right. He had

2773
02:07:29,920 --> 02:07:32,480
Speaker 1: ten and a half sacks twenty solo tackles during the

2774
02:07:32,480 --> 02:07:35,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three regular season. But here's the thing. The

2775
02:07:35,160 --> 02:07:39,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. They need more viable, reliable receivers and

2776
02:07:39,520 --> 02:07:42,520
Speaker 1: especially a veteran or two to help the team's offense

2777
02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:45,800
Speaker 1: maybe get back to its old form. It was a

2778
02:07:45,800 --> 02:07:49,120
Speaker 1: little week on offense last year. Defense basically carried that team.

2779
02:07:49,360 --> 02:07:52,280
Speaker 1: Why would a guy like Chris Jones even think of

2780
02:07:52,480 --> 02:07:55,680
Speaker 1: leaving when they got a chance for a three peat.

2781
02:07:55,520 --> 02:07:56,360
Speaker 3: Because of the money.

2782
02:07:56,800 --> 02:07:59,560
Speaker 1: It's man, that's good. It trusts me nuts. How much money?

2783
02:07:59,640 --> 02:08:00,800
Speaker 1: What are you four?

2784
02:08:01,640 --> 02:08:05,360
Speaker 2: Because you like you don't question the owners. The owners

2785
02:08:05,360 --> 02:08:08,080
Speaker 2: are billionaires. They keep getting more money. So if they

2786
02:08:08,160 --> 02:08:10,120
Speaker 2: keep getting more money, your top players need to get

2787
02:08:10,160 --> 02:08:12,880
Speaker 2: more money. Chris Jones had to hold out at.

2788
02:08:12,760 --> 02:08:14,600
Speaker 3: The beginning of the year to get his deal.

2789
02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:17,960
Speaker 2: Sweeten, I am sure that he's saying, rather than go

2790
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:20,960
Speaker 2: through this song and dance again, pay me the money,

2791
02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:24,600
Speaker 2: give me a top of the market contract. I've proven it.

2792
02:08:24,680 --> 02:08:28,920
Speaker 2: I've done it time and time again. I'm anchoring the

2793
02:08:29,280 --> 02:08:31,640
Speaker 2: one of the top defenses in football. We've seen the

2794
02:08:31,640 --> 02:08:35,000
Speaker 2: team flip from an offensive team to a defensive team.

2795
02:08:35,440 --> 02:08:38,440
Speaker 2: I need to get paid. Pay me now. He may give.

2796
02:08:38,720 --> 02:08:42,280
Speaker 2: He may give a little discount, a little hometown discount,

2797
02:08:42,760 --> 02:08:44,080
Speaker 2: but not a significant thing.

2798
02:08:44,120 --> 02:08:45,880
Speaker 3: He played well enough to deserve it.

2799
02:08:46,760 --> 02:08:48,360
Speaker 1: I guess you're right here. Here's a guy who is

2800
02:08:48,400 --> 02:08:52,600
Speaker 1: a five time Pro Bowl selection. I say, God bless him.

2801
02:08:52,640 --> 02:08:54,480
Speaker 1: You want to go for the money, that's fine. I

2802
02:08:54,760 --> 02:08:56,080
Speaker 1: think Kansas City will.

2803
02:08:55,960 --> 02:08:58,600
Speaker 2: Pretty wait wait a minute, like he should. He should

2804
02:08:58,640 --> 02:08:59,960
Speaker 2: give the Chiefs a discount.

2805
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:02,560
Speaker 1: No, I mean you want to go fine, I mean

2806
02:09:02,600 --> 02:09:04,040
Speaker 1: we want to go out and get more money. Go

2807
02:09:04,040 --> 02:09:06,360
Speaker 1: to another team, that's fine. I mean, you know we've

2808
02:09:06,360 --> 02:09:10,960
Speaker 1: seen that before. But I would would stay with the winner.

2809
02:09:11,280 --> 02:09:13,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna pay him, there's no doubt. Mind.

2810
02:09:13,480 --> 02:09:15,640
Speaker 1: He may not get more in the open market, but

2811
02:09:15,680 --> 02:09:19,000
Speaker 1: they'll pay him, but the opportunity to come a three pete.

2812
02:09:19,960 --> 02:09:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what I would say is, as long as

2813
02:09:23,360 --> 02:09:28,240
Speaker 2: it's close and they're within range, he'll stay. He stays, right,

2814
02:09:28,360 --> 02:09:31,520
Speaker 2: But if it's a significant gap between what another team

2815
02:09:31,600 --> 02:09:34,200
Speaker 2: is offering him than a kins with the Chiefs, he

2816
02:09:34,320 --> 02:09:36,200
Speaker 2: got to go. I mean, if a team is offering

2817
02:09:36,280 --> 02:09:41,720
Speaker 2: him six seven eight million more annually over what the

2818
02:09:41,760 --> 02:09:43,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs offering, he has to go. But if it's close

2819
02:09:44,200 --> 02:09:47,080
Speaker 2: and you can live with it, cool, then you stay

2820
02:09:47,080 --> 02:09:49,240
Speaker 2: with the Chiefs. But you shouldn't feel obligated to be

2821
02:09:49,280 --> 02:09:51,280
Speaker 2: with the Chiefs just because they have a three pen

2822
02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:52,240
Speaker 2: on the horizon.

2823
02:09:52,680 --> 02:09:55,560
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about this guy may very well be

2824
02:09:56,120 --> 02:09:59,160
Speaker 1: the second free agent on the market, and if you

2825
02:09:59,200 --> 02:10:01,640
Speaker 1: want a rate them, I Jones is in a class

2826
02:10:01,640 --> 02:10:05,360
Speaker 1: by himself. This guy is the other Josh Allen, the

2827
02:10:05,400 --> 02:10:09,520
Speaker 1: linebacker of the Jacksonville Jaguars who basically finished tied for

2828
02:10:09,560 --> 02:10:12,040
Speaker 1: second in the NFL with seventeen and a half sacks

2829
02:10:12,120 --> 02:10:15,400
Speaker 1: last year. And here's a guy on Jacksonville. The Jaguars

2830
02:10:15,440 --> 02:10:19,120
Speaker 1: finished the season next to last in yards before contact

2831
02:10:19,280 --> 02:10:23,680
Speaker 1: per rush. The Jags also finished thirtieth in yards per attempt,

2832
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:26,920
Speaker 1: thirty first in rushing extra points added, and thirtieth in

2833
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:30,560
Speaker 1: rushing success rate. Terrible. I mean all this to say

2834
02:10:30,600 --> 02:10:33,760
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars ground game was atrocious and they must

2835
02:10:33,760 --> 02:10:36,760
Speaker 1: improve it if Trevor Lawrence and his teammates want to

2836
02:10:36,800 --> 02:10:40,720
Speaker 1: get back to the AFC title hunt. But no offense

2837
02:10:40,760 --> 02:10:43,080
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen, none of his fault. But I got

2838
02:10:43,240 --> 02:10:46,800
Speaker 1: to believe that he probably he probably will be a

2839
02:10:46,880 --> 02:10:49,600
Speaker 1: Jaguar next year. Why do I say that? Their GM

2840
02:10:49,720 --> 02:10:52,400
Speaker 1: said that, so he's got to eat his words. If

2841
02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:53,840
Speaker 1: basically Josh Allen is.

2842
02:10:53,920 --> 02:10:59,320
Speaker 2: Let go, Yeah, this would be tough because you would

2843
02:10:59,400 --> 02:10:59,920
Speaker 2: like the thing to do.

2844
02:11:00,080 --> 02:11:02,360
Speaker 3: Deal would have been done a while ago.

2845
02:11:02,840 --> 02:11:04,560
Speaker 1: You know what's going on here.

2846
02:11:04,600 --> 02:11:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a model citizen. He's done all the things

2847
02:11:06,760 --> 02:11:09,120
Speaker 2: on and off the field the right way. For whatever reason,

2848
02:11:09,160 --> 02:11:12,080
Speaker 2: they haven't been able to get to a point where

2849
02:11:12,120 --> 02:11:14,640
Speaker 2: they can come up with the money.

2850
02:11:14,880 --> 02:11:16,760
Speaker 3: Get the money right. And for the.

2851
02:11:16,800 --> 02:11:21,120
Speaker 2: Jaguars, dan a tough spot because Allen had a career

2852
02:11:21,200 --> 02:11:27,440
Speaker 2: year dominated dominated, earn all kinds of accolades and awards

2853
02:11:27,480 --> 02:11:30,160
Speaker 2: for his play, and you're having to pay him at

2854
02:11:30,160 --> 02:11:32,080
Speaker 2: a premium, whereas last year you wouldn't have had to

2855
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:34,120
Speaker 2: pay him at a premium because he was coming off

2856
02:11:34,120 --> 02:11:38,400
Speaker 2: a disappointing year. With him able to command top of

2857
02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:40,600
Speaker 2: the market money, you.

2858
02:11:40,480 --> 02:11:41,200
Speaker 3: Get slept the.

2859
02:11:42,720 --> 02:11:45,880
Speaker 2: You know, tag on him in those things. But you

2860
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:48,400
Speaker 2: want to get him signed because he's one of your own.

2861
02:11:48,480 --> 02:11:50,920
Speaker 2: You drafted him, you developed him, then you got to

2862
02:11:50,920 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 2: pay him. If you do something different, it says a

2863
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:55,120
Speaker 2: bad message to the locker room.

2864
02:11:55,320 --> 02:11:57,480
Speaker 1: And the fans, and the fans as well.

2865
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:01,200
Speaker 2: I mean, the fans too want to see their stars,

2866
02:12:01,200 --> 02:12:05,320
Speaker 2: and he represents Jacksonville exactly how you want your best

2867
02:12:05,320 --> 02:12:08,480
Speaker 2: players to represent him. He's tough, he's hard working, he's

2868
02:12:08,520 --> 02:12:11,440
Speaker 2: great in the community. He's an a one stand up dude.

2869
02:12:12,440 --> 02:12:14,440
Speaker 2: You pay those guys. You want to keep those guys

2870
02:12:14,440 --> 02:12:15,600
Speaker 2: on your team.

2871
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:18,320
Speaker 1: Look, I know you work for the Jacksonville Jaguars and

2872
02:12:18,360 --> 02:12:20,640
Speaker 1: I know you do some scouting for them, and I'm

2873
02:12:20,640 --> 02:12:22,280
Speaker 1: not going to put you on the spot, but I'll

2874
02:12:22,280 --> 02:12:24,720
Speaker 1: answer the question for you why they can't sign him.

2875
02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:27,400
Speaker 1: You want to know why, because that financial guy will

2876
02:12:27,400 --> 02:12:30,240
Speaker 1: stole through twenty million dollars from the club. That's why,

2877
02:12:30,800 --> 02:12:33,760
Speaker 1: right who you said you didn't know who he was anyway,

2878
02:12:33,800 --> 02:12:35,520
Speaker 1: And I believe you. You don't know who the guy is.

2879
02:12:35,680 --> 02:12:38,480
Speaker 1: He works inside and he's probably in Mexico right now,

2880
02:12:38,520 --> 02:12:40,800
Speaker 1: but who knows. But the point is he stole twenty

2881
02:12:40,800 --> 02:12:42,560
Speaker 1: million dollars from the ball club, right.

2882
02:12:43,400 --> 02:12:46,560
Speaker 3: I mean, look, he did. Numbers are the numbers right?

2883
02:12:46,720 --> 02:12:48,520
Speaker 3: That's a lot of money to go out the door.

2884
02:12:49,360 --> 02:12:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how that happens, but it happened. I'd

2885
02:12:51,560 --> 02:12:53,120
Speaker 1: like to meet the guy, ask him how he did it.

2886
02:12:53,160 --> 02:12:55,880
Speaker 1: But we'll see, all right. I want to go along

2887
02:12:55,920 --> 02:13:00,520
Speaker 1: over the the Minnesota Vikings. Okay, they could extend Kirk

2888
02:13:00,560 --> 02:13:05,200
Speaker 1: Cousins before his contract voids next month in March, and obviously,

2889
02:13:05,200 --> 02:13:07,839
Speaker 1: if the two sides can't come to an agreement, Cousins

2890
02:13:08,280 --> 02:13:11,560
Speaker 1: dead captain will accelerate on a team's cat for the

2891
02:13:11,600 --> 02:13:15,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four season, which is to say, if there's

2892
02:13:15,080 --> 02:13:18,240
Speaker 1: no extension for quarterback Kirk Cousins in Minnesota, he is

2893
02:13:18,240 --> 02:13:21,840
Speaker 1: not likely to return to Minnesota. In that case, the

2894
02:13:21,920 --> 02:13:24,760
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings are going to need a quarterback, and that

2895
02:13:24,800 --> 02:13:28,560
Speaker 1: makes Cousins somewhat valuable on the free agent market. But look,

2896
02:13:28,760 --> 02:13:31,360
Speaker 1: he's coming off of torn achilles heel. He's thirty six

2897
02:13:31,520 --> 02:13:34,280
Speaker 1: years old and Honestly, does anybody want to put that

2898
02:13:34,360 --> 02:13:36,640
Speaker 1: kind of money in a guy who's thirty six coming

2899
02:13:36,680 --> 02:13:37,360
Speaker 1: off an injury?

2900
02:13:39,560 --> 02:13:41,080
Speaker 3: Uh, that's tough.

2901
02:13:41,120 --> 02:13:43,680
Speaker 2: Man coming off an injury makes it complicates it a

2902
02:13:43,720 --> 02:13:45,720
Speaker 2: little bit because it's an Achilles injury and you're just

2903
02:13:45,720 --> 02:13:48,000
Speaker 2: going to wonder is he going to get back? The

2904
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:50,840
Speaker 2: guarantee money is also significant because that's the biggest part

2905
02:13:50,840 --> 02:13:52,680
Speaker 2: of it. Kirk Cousin has been the master of fully

2906
02:13:52,680 --> 02:13:55,800
Speaker 2: guaranteed contracts. Do I want to pay that? Particularly coming

2907
02:13:55,840 --> 02:13:58,360
Speaker 2: off the injury. The Minnesota Vikings are like, nah, we

2908
02:13:59,400 --> 02:14:02,480
Speaker 2: might be good to guaranteed money. So that's rings, but

2909
02:14:02,520 --> 02:14:04,440
Speaker 2: there are other teams willing to pay. They are more

2910
02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:07,640
Speaker 2: teams in desperate need of quarterback than quarterbacks in the

2911
02:14:07,640 --> 02:14:10,960
Speaker 2: supply chain Kirk Couins. Cousins is going to get paid

2912
02:14:11,000 --> 02:14:13,600
Speaker 2: in a major way very also, whether it's in Minnesota

2913
02:14:13,680 --> 02:14:16,040
Speaker 2: or elsewhere. He could be the perfect target for the

2914
02:14:16,080 --> 02:14:19,520
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons and the reason why Zach Robinson coming over

2915
02:14:19,600 --> 02:14:23,839
Speaker 2: from the La Rams Raheem Morris seeing how that offense

2916
02:14:23,960 --> 02:14:27,400
Speaker 2: operated with Matt Stafford, he may say, man, let me

2917
02:14:27,440 --> 02:14:29,200
Speaker 2: get a guy that can throw it from the pocket

2918
02:14:29,600 --> 02:14:34,120
Speaker 2: like Kirk Cousins. That could be a reasonable situation for

2919
02:14:34,240 --> 02:14:38,960
Speaker 2: him to go into because he can make them a

2920
02:14:39,040 --> 02:14:41,160
Speaker 2: worse the first team in a hurry if he's on

2921
02:14:41,240 --> 02:14:45,000
Speaker 2: his game. And given the success that Matthew Stafford had

2922
02:14:45,080 --> 02:14:47,920
Speaker 2: in this same offense, I am sure Raheem Morris would

2923
02:14:47,920 --> 02:14:50,400
Speaker 2: like a traditional drop back passer that can light it

2924
02:14:50,520 --> 02:14:52,760
Speaker 2: up and do all the things that he used to

2925
02:14:52,760 --> 02:14:55,200
Speaker 2: see happen on one thousand oaks every day.

2926
02:14:55,680 --> 02:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Okay, this is in honor of Michael Harmon the swollen Dome.

2927
02:14:59,200 --> 02:15:01,400
Speaker 1: He loves to Chicago Bears. I want to talk about

2928
02:15:01,400 --> 02:15:04,920
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears for one second because the focus obviously

2929
02:15:05,080 --> 02:15:07,000
Speaker 1: is what the Bears do at quarterback. That's what everybody's

2930
02:15:07,000 --> 02:15:09,120
Speaker 1: talking about right now. But they have a free agent

2931
02:15:09,120 --> 02:15:12,840
Speaker 1: out there and Jalen Johnson quarterback. He's a quarterback, and

2932
02:15:13,400 --> 02:15:17,440
Speaker 1: he earned his first Pro Bowl spot this year, but honestly,

2933
02:15:17,480 --> 02:15:18,920
Speaker 1: you didn't hear much about him. I don't think he

2934
02:15:19,000 --> 02:15:22,760
Speaker 1: got his proper due on the national stage. Really. He's

2935
02:15:22,800 --> 02:15:27,040
Speaker 1: a pretty good matchup man in coverage. He's six feet tall.

2936
02:15:27,280 --> 02:15:29,440
Speaker 1: He's a free agent right now. But the big news

2937
02:15:29,480 --> 02:15:33,480
Speaker 1: I think for the Chicago Bears they need edge rush help.

2938
02:15:33,560 --> 02:15:36,560
Speaker 1: And they need quarterbacking. So if this guy Jalen Johnson's

2939
02:15:36,560 --> 02:15:39,280
Speaker 1: going to go back in the pile of the back

2940
02:15:39,320 --> 02:15:40,960
Speaker 1: of the heap and no one's going to remember him,

2941
02:15:41,040 --> 02:15:43,160
Speaker 1: that's the problem with Jalen Johnson agreed.

2942
02:15:44,720 --> 02:15:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a good player. I think you got to

2943
02:15:46,720 --> 02:15:47,640
Speaker 3: understand where he is.

2944
02:15:48,320 --> 02:15:50,520
Speaker 2: The Bears played a lot of his own coverage, and

2945
02:15:51,160 --> 02:15:53,320
Speaker 2: it's going to be important that any team that thinks

2946
02:15:53,360 --> 02:15:55,640
Speaker 2: about bringing him off, did they play a defense that

2947
02:15:55,760 --> 02:15:57,840
Speaker 2: is similar to the one that they evaluated the men.

2948
02:15:58,480 --> 02:16:00,440
Speaker 3: Just because the guy played well.

2949
02:16:00,280 --> 02:16:03,400
Speaker 2: In one situation in Chicago doesn't mean that he'll play

2950
02:16:03,480 --> 02:16:07,600
Speaker 2: well in another situation. As to do different things, you

2951
02:16:07,680 --> 02:16:09,520
Speaker 2: got to make sure that you try and make either

2952
02:16:09,560 --> 02:16:12,800
Speaker 2: the apples the apples comparison, meaning how he was here

2953
02:16:12,880 --> 02:16:15,800
Speaker 2: versus how they were back then, or it's one of

2954
02:16:15,840 --> 02:16:17,760
Speaker 2: those things where you have to just check and make

2955
02:16:17,800 --> 02:16:20,680
Speaker 2: sure his game is transcendent enough that he can fit

2956
02:16:20,800 --> 02:16:24,200
Speaker 2: into multiple systems, or he has a skill set that

2957
02:16:24,320 --> 02:16:26,040
Speaker 2: is specific for what you want to do.

2958
02:16:26,840 --> 02:16:28,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let me leave you with this. Don't you

2959
02:16:28,400 --> 02:16:30,600
Speaker 1: think the increase in the salary KU right now puts

2960
02:16:30,640 --> 02:16:33,640
Speaker 1: a lot more pressure on various teams, right now because

2961
02:16:33,680 --> 02:16:35,800
Speaker 1: now we have a little extra money, what are we

2962
02:16:35,840 --> 02:16:38,120
Speaker 1: going to do? That's the question right now, because I

2963
02:16:38,120 --> 02:16:41,720
Speaker 1: think they were set in stone prior to Friday as

2964
02:16:41,720 --> 02:16:43,440
Speaker 1: to where they're going with the amount of money they

2965
02:16:43,440 --> 02:16:45,879
Speaker 1: could spend. Now that it all changes, right.

2966
02:16:46,640 --> 02:16:50,000
Speaker 2: It changes home for sure, because you'll have a conversation about, well,

2967
02:16:50,040 --> 02:16:51,720
Speaker 2: what do we want to target, what are their priorities.

2968
02:16:51,879 --> 02:16:53,680
Speaker 2: We got a little more money, we want to make

2969
02:16:53,680 --> 02:16:55,800
Speaker 2: sure we don't spend it all too soon. We got

2970
02:16:55,800 --> 02:16:57,600
Speaker 2: some extra money we can put in the kiddy that

2971
02:16:57,600 --> 02:17:01,560
Speaker 2: can help us post draft signee Biggs time signing in

2972
02:17:01,600 --> 02:17:02,320
Speaker 2: the summertime.

2973
02:17:02,560 --> 02:17:03,959
Speaker 3: There are a bunch of different ways that you can

2974
02:17:04,040 --> 02:17:04,760
Speaker 3: sign up free agency.

2975
02:17:04,800 --> 02:17:06,640
Speaker 2: It does always have to be the first week or

2976
02:17:06,680 --> 02:17:09,039
Speaker 2: two that the market opens up.

2977
02:17:09,560 --> 02:17:10,000
Speaker 3: There we go.

2978
02:17:10,040 --> 02:17:11,760
Speaker 1: He's Bucky Brooks. Get him on X, get him on

2979
02:17:11,800 --> 02:17:14,640
Speaker 1: Twitter at Bucky Brooks, at Andy Furman. FISAD will take

2980
02:17:14,640 --> 02:17:18,160
Speaker 1: your calls at eight seven to seven ninety nine on Fox.

2981
02:17:18,200 --> 02:17:21,640
Speaker 1: That translates to eight seven seven nine nine six sixty

2982
02:17:21,680 --> 02:17:23,200
Speaker 1: three sixty nine. We'll have a little bit of this,

2983
02:17:23,280 --> 02:17:25,120
Speaker 1: a little of that at the end of this hour.

2984
02:17:25,160 --> 02:17:29,480
Speaker 1: And of course, one college basketball coach does some double

2985
02:17:29,640 --> 02:17:34,600
Speaker 1: talk that's next. Does he or doesn't he? That's the

2986
02:17:34,640 --> 02:17:37,520
Speaker 1: real question. We'll get to it in a minute. He's

2987
02:17:37,520 --> 02:17:40,440
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman. This is Fox Sports Sunday,

2988
02:17:40,640 --> 02:17:43,240
Speaker 1: and we're live from the tyraq dot com studios. And

2989
02:17:43,280 --> 02:17:46,400
Speaker 1: of course let's talk about some coaches and the college

2990
02:17:46,480 --> 02:17:50,840
Speaker 1: level college basketball. To be exact, and following Saint John's

2991
02:17:50,920 --> 02:17:56,000
Speaker 1: University meltdown to seton Hall and basketball last Sunday, the

2992
02:17:56,040 --> 02:17:59,199
Speaker 1: Hall of famous Saint John's coach Rick Pattino's comments included

2993
02:17:59,440 --> 02:18:03,320
Speaker 1: to condition of players and the program's facilities. And that

2994
02:18:03,440 --> 02:18:05,840
Speaker 1: wasn't good. As a matter of fact, he was ripping

2995
02:18:05,840 --> 02:18:08,400
Speaker 1: some of the players, he said. I really wasn't ripping anybody.

2996
02:18:08,560 --> 02:18:10,200
Speaker 1: This is what he told the media after the game.

2997
02:18:10,240 --> 02:18:13,720
Speaker 1: I was pointing out exactly in a monotone voice, he said,

2998
02:18:14,080 --> 02:18:17,360
Speaker 1: why we lost. I'm not always calm, and certainly not

2999
02:18:17,440 --> 02:18:20,600
Speaker 1: when I ripped someone. I was not ripping anybody, he says.

3000
02:18:20,600 --> 02:18:22,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes I want my play to hear my words and

3001
02:18:22,920 --> 02:18:25,400
Speaker 1: read my words. That was the intention. Well that's what

3002
02:18:25,480 --> 02:18:27,400
Speaker 1: he said, But I tell you what, this is what

3003
02:18:27,440 --> 02:18:29,760
Speaker 1: he really said. And I thought he was ripping people.

3004
02:18:30,040 --> 02:18:33,520
Speaker 1: He said, and I quote, we are so unathletic that

3005
02:18:33,640 --> 02:18:36,360
Speaker 1: we can't guard anybody without fouling. This is what he

3006
02:18:36,360 --> 02:18:38,720
Speaker 1: told the reporters. He had the Sunday's game against Seaton

3007
02:18:38,760 --> 02:18:41,640
Speaker 1: All which day lost. Quote. If I said I was disappointed,

3008
02:18:41,640 --> 02:18:45,840
Speaker 1: that would be the understatement of the year. Continuing, Joel

3009
02:18:45,959 --> 02:18:49,720
Speaker 1: Soriano slow latterly, he's not fast on the court. This

3010
02:18:49,800 --> 02:18:53,440
Speaker 1: is what he said. Chris Lendingham is slow lattery. Sean

3011
02:18:53,560 --> 02:18:58,240
Speaker 1: Conway's slow lattery, but he done laps physically weak. And

3012
02:18:58,320 --> 02:19:01,959
Speaker 1: Drissa Tire is slow lottery. This is what he's doing.

3013
02:19:02,200 --> 02:19:05,520
Speaker 1: He's basically saying it's a point of emphasis, but I

3014
02:19:05,600 --> 02:19:09,520
Speaker 1: think he's ripping players publicly. So he denied it and

3015
02:19:09,560 --> 02:19:12,240
Speaker 1: then he came back. He doubled down on it. But

3016
02:19:12,360 --> 02:19:15,680
Speaker 1: on Thursday of last week he took all the comments back.

3017
02:19:15,879 --> 02:19:18,440
Speaker 1: He must have got some heat. I just don't think

3018
02:19:18,480 --> 02:19:21,720
Speaker 1: it's right for a college coach to go out there

3019
02:19:21,800 --> 02:19:26,440
Speaker 1: and rip players publicly after a loss. Well, basically, it's

3020
02:19:26,480 --> 02:19:29,560
Speaker 1: on you. They're you are players, you picked them. It's

3021
02:19:29,600 --> 02:19:31,720
Speaker 1: on you, coach. And look, I know you're a Hall

3022
02:19:31,760 --> 02:19:34,000
Speaker 1: of fame coach. You had a great career, but you

3023
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:36,480
Speaker 1: don't got great players, right, now the horses are and

3024
02:19:36,560 --> 02:19:39,080
Speaker 1: running to the finish line at Saint John's this year.

3025
02:19:41,920 --> 02:19:45,039
Speaker 2: I don't think he did anything wrong, really, Oh, I

3026
02:19:45,040 --> 02:19:48,040
Speaker 2: think we wanted both ways, Rick Fatina, I think we

3027
02:19:48,080 --> 02:19:50,879
Speaker 2: wanted both ways. We want to know the wise behind

3028
02:19:52,200 --> 02:19:54,200
Speaker 2: a win or a loss, but then we get mad

3029
02:19:54,520 --> 02:19:57,160
Speaker 2: when the coach gives us the real deal. We've been

3030
02:19:57,200 --> 02:20:00,920
Speaker 2: so conditioned to accept coach speak that when someone tells

3031
02:20:01,000 --> 02:20:04,800
Speaker 2: us the truth, it feels like it's harsh. What he

3032
02:20:04,920 --> 02:20:08,680
Speaker 2: said was true. If his guys can't move side to side,

3033
02:20:08,680 --> 02:20:12,200
Speaker 2: if they're slow latterly, that's an issue. That's not an excuse.

3034
02:20:12,280 --> 02:20:13,879
Speaker 2: But if you ask why were they able to get

3035
02:20:13,879 --> 02:20:17,520
Speaker 2: by you on defense? We're slow latterally, our guys are

3036
02:20:17,560 --> 02:20:19,920
Speaker 2: not fast. We don't have a fast defense. We either

3037
02:20:19,920 --> 02:20:22,800
Speaker 2: got to play better cut off angles and put ourselves

3038
02:20:22,840 --> 02:20:24,400
Speaker 2: in a position to get where we need to get

3039
02:20:24,400 --> 02:20:27,400
Speaker 2: to make up for our deficiencies, or they're going to

3040
02:20:27,440 --> 02:20:31,520
Speaker 2: continue to have a parade running down like a layup

3041
02:20:31,520 --> 02:20:35,360
Speaker 2: line parade shooting at the middle of the rim. There's

3042
02:20:35,400 --> 02:20:38,360
Speaker 2: nothing wrong with that. It's okay to hold your guys accountable.

3043
02:20:40,240 --> 02:20:42,760
Speaker 1: Would you say it's perfect? You know with slow lotterally whatever.

3044
02:20:42,800 --> 02:20:45,440
Speaker 1: He mentioned names in particular, specific names, But I.

3045
02:20:45,360 --> 02:20:48,840
Speaker 3: Don't think it's Yeah, I don't. I don't think that's wrong.

3046
02:20:49,000 --> 02:20:51,440
Speaker 2: Like I think it's okay to call guys out by

3047
02:20:51,560 --> 02:20:55,400
Speaker 2: name now as long as he does, as long as

3048
02:20:55,400 --> 02:20:57,640
Speaker 2: he calls them out in practice the way that he

3049
02:20:57,680 --> 02:20:59,720
Speaker 2: calls them out in the press, there's no.

3050
02:20:59,680 --> 02:21:00,680
Speaker 3: Issue because they know.

3051
02:21:01,440 --> 02:21:04,119
Speaker 2: And as long as he's transparent, Hey, guys like, don't

3052
02:21:04,120 --> 02:21:06,640
Speaker 2: look for me to make up for your stuff. I'm

3053
02:21:06,640 --> 02:21:10,280
Speaker 2: gonna tell them the truth as far as why we're

3054
02:21:10,320 --> 02:21:12,680
Speaker 2: losing or why we're winning or whatever. I'll give you

3055
02:21:12,720 --> 02:21:14,720
Speaker 2: the credit when you guys are great, but I'm also

3056
02:21:14,760 --> 02:21:17,920
Speaker 2: gonna criticize you if you're not playing up to par.

3057
02:21:18,400 --> 02:21:19,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that.

3058
02:21:19,760 --> 02:21:22,560
Speaker 2: I think we've grown increasingly soft when it comes to

3059
02:21:22,640 --> 02:21:24,000
Speaker 2: allowing that stuff to happen.

3060
02:21:24,360 --> 02:21:24,840
Speaker 3: He said.

3061
02:21:25,040 --> 02:21:27,560
Speaker 2: I know that they're going to read it via Twitter

3062
02:21:27,959 --> 02:21:32,160
Speaker 2: or whatever. I want them, the team to get my message.

3063
02:21:32,240 --> 02:21:36,039
Speaker 2: He does everything intense. There's an intent behind why he does,

3064
02:21:36,120 --> 02:21:37,200
Speaker 2: a method to the madness.

3065
02:21:37,480 --> 02:21:39,720
Speaker 1: Just know that about that. And he also said after

3066
02:21:39,760 --> 02:21:42,920
Speaker 1: the loss on Sunday, basically it was the most unenjoyable

3067
02:21:42,959 --> 02:21:45,560
Speaker 1: experience of my life. I get it. I understand that,

3068
02:21:45,680 --> 02:21:48,360
Speaker 1: and it's great to say to the media why we lost.

3069
02:21:48,400 --> 02:21:50,920
Speaker 1: But here's the deal. Those comments, at least in this

3070
02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:55,080
Speaker 1: day and age, can cause some major effects why recruiting players.

3071
02:21:55,160 --> 02:21:56,440
Speaker 1: So I don't want to play for a guy who's

3072
02:21:56,440 --> 02:21:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna call me out if I don't do well, and

3073
02:21:58,200 --> 02:22:01,000
Speaker 1: also players going into the portal. If I'm a player

3074
02:22:01,080 --> 02:22:02,840
Speaker 1: and I'm not doing well and all of a sudden

3075
02:22:02,959 --> 02:22:06,120
Speaker 1: he's raking me to the colls, to the media and

3076
02:22:06,160 --> 02:22:08,560
Speaker 1: it's all over the country. I don't want to stay

3077
02:22:08,560 --> 02:22:11,199
Speaker 1: with this guy, really. I mean, I love Bob Knight.

3078
02:22:11,240 --> 02:22:13,200
Speaker 1: I thought he may be the greatest coach of all time,

3079
02:22:13,240 --> 02:22:15,279
Speaker 1: but I think he'd have a real hard time coaching

3080
02:22:15,280 --> 02:22:17,600
Speaker 1: in today's world with the portal. I really do.

3081
02:22:19,240 --> 02:22:21,400
Speaker 2: Maybe, but it depends on if you're scared of your

3082
02:22:21,400 --> 02:22:23,880
Speaker 2: players or not. If you're scared of them leaving, then

3083
02:22:23,920 --> 02:22:25,600
Speaker 2: you probably don't have the right kind of players in

3084
02:22:25,640 --> 02:22:29,800
Speaker 2: the program, you know. And maybe Pacino is saying, hey, guys, man,

3085
02:22:29,800 --> 02:22:31,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna coach you hard. You know it coming in.

3086
02:22:32,320 --> 02:22:35,040
Speaker 2: We coach hard here. We demand high levels of accountability,

3087
02:22:35,120 --> 02:22:36,680
Speaker 2: and if you don't like it, we're not a program

3088
02:22:36,760 --> 02:22:39,840
Speaker 2: for you. So those players that are leaving, they're not

3089
02:22:39,879 --> 02:22:42,440
Speaker 2: built for the program. But as a coach, you can't

3090
02:22:42,440 --> 02:22:45,279
Speaker 2: coach your team scared that they're going to leave, because

3091
02:22:46,360 --> 02:22:49,000
Speaker 2: being soft on them isn't gonna make them stay, because

3092
02:22:49,000 --> 02:22:51,240
Speaker 2: they're gonna leave anyway. So you need to make sure

3093
02:22:51,240 --> 02:22:53,720
Speaker 2: that when you're recruiting, you recruit the right type of

3094
02:22:53,720 --> 02:22:56,320
Speaker 2: guys for the program that you want to have. For

3095
02:22:56,520 --> 02:22:59,840
Speaker 2: the way that your coaches conduct themselves. When it comes

3096
02:22:59,840 --> 02:23:02,879
Speaker 2: to levels of accountability, whether they coach them hard or not,

3097
02:23:03,080 --> 02:23:05,920
Speaker 2: you got to make sure those kids are ready for that, otherwise.

3098
02:23:05,520 --> 02:23:06,600
Speaker 3: They don't need to be in there.

3099
02:23:06,640 --> 02:23:09,600
Speaker 2: And when it comes to recruiting, you want the kids

3100
02:23:09,600 --> 02:23:12,280
Speaker 2: that come in to know up front, you come here,

3101
02:23:12,320 --> 02:23:14,080
Speaker 2: this is how we get down and.

3102
02:23:14,840 --> 02:23:17,200
Speaker 3: Want to go elsewhere. Yeah, but that you can't do it.

3103
02:23:17,240 --> 02:23:19,400
Speaker 2: You can't acquiesce to the kids because the kids are

3104
02:23:19,400 --> 02:23:20,320
Speaker 2: gonna leave you hy and dry.

3105
02:23:20,400 --> 02:23:21,680
Speaker 3: Every time I.

3106
02:23:21,640 --> 02:23:23,560
Speaker 1: Get what you're saying and looked to some extent, I

3107
02:23:23,560 --> 02:23:25,240
Speaker 1: do agree. I hear we just say because we do

3108
02:23:25,280 --> 02:23:27,800
Speaker 1: want transparacy, Like, why tell me why? I just don't

3109
02:23:27,800 --> 02:23:30,560
Speaker 1: want to hear some coach speak. However, let's also remember

3110
02:23:30,560 --> 02:23:33,760
Speaker 1: that this is Patino's first year at Saint Johns. He

3111
02:23:33,800 --> 02:23:36,080
Speaker 1: inherited a lot of these kids and it's going to

3112
02:23:36,160 --> 02:23:37,879
Speaker 1: take time, and I have a lot of confidence that

3113
02:23:37,920 --> 02:23:40,600
Speaker 1: he probably will turn that program around. But I just

3114
02:23:40,600 --> 02:23:43,280
Speaker 1: didn't feel real good about him doing this after that game.

3115
02:23:43,480 --> 02:23:45,400
Speaker 1: It was a terrible loss. There's no doubt my mind,

3116
02:23:45,600 --> 02:23:47,720
Speaker 1: Saint john should not lose the Seaton hal There's no way.

3117
02:23:47,879 --> 02:23:49,720
Speaker 1: But as a result of this, there was some good

3118
02:23:49,920 --> 02:23:51,800
Speaker 1: news of some lining at the end of the the

3119
02:23:51,800 --> 02:23:54,040
Speaker 1: tunnel of there's some light there. As a result, there's

3120
02:23:54,040 --> 02:23:58,560
Speaker 1: a seven figure donor appearing billionaire alum Mike Roppoli says,

3121
02:23:58,680 --> 02:24:02,200
Speaker 1: whatever it takes my wallet, Rick, whatever it takes, they're

3122
02:24:02,200 --> 02:24:04,800
Speaker 1: gonna buy players at Saint John's. They're gonna turn it around.

3123
02:24:04,840 --> 02:24:06,560
Speaker 1: So that's the good news, right.

3124
02:24:07,080 --> 02:24:07,920
Speaker 3: That is the good news.

3125
02:24:07,959 --> 02:24:10,120
Speaker 2: But let me let me kind of correct you because

3126
02:24:10,160 --> 02:24:11,640
Speaker 2: you said though those are not his player, there are

3127
02:24:11,640 --> 02:24:12,040
Speaker 2: his players.

3128
02:24:12,080 --> 02:24:14,320
Speaker 3: When he took over to be the head coach of

3129
02:24:14,360 --> 02:24:15,000
Speaker 3: Saint John's.

3130
02:24:15,400 --> 02:24:18,360
Speaker 2: Whoever's on that roster is his player, and his job

3131
02:24:18,440 --> 02:24:19,840
Speaker 2: is to get the most out of that player. So

3132
02:24:19,920 --> 02:24:22,280
Speaker 2: he can't blame it and there can't be this oh

3133
02:24:22,320 --> 02:24:23,360
Speaker 2: wait till he get his guys.

3134
02:24:23,360 --> 02:24:26,039
Speaker 3: In no, he has to do the best that he can.

3135
02:24:25,920 --> 02:24:28,160
Speaker 2: With what he has until he's able to get the

3136
02:24:28,200 --> 02:24:29,280
Speaker 2: rest of the crew in there.

3137
02:24:30,080 --> 02:24:31,240
Speaker 3: I'm okay with that he does.

3138
02:24:31,440 --> 02:24:35,119
Speaker 2: He's not one to typically make excuses, and so holding

3139
02:24:35,120 --> 02:24:37,520
Speaker 2: the team accountable is what he has to do to

3140
02:24:37,600 --> 02:24:39,640
Speaker 2: kind of change the mindset in the culture and say no,

3141
02:24:40,160 --> 02:24:40,520
Speaker 2: there you go.

3142
02:24:40,600 --> 02:24:43,240
Speaker 1: He's fucking Brooks and Andy Firman. We are Fox Sports

3143
02:24:43,280 --> 02:24:46,120
Speaker 1: Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. And by the way, could

3144
02:24:46,160 --> 02:24:48,800
Speaker 1: we see a new quarterback in New York next season?

3145
02:24:48,879 --> 02:24:51,720
Speaker 1: Well that's coming up next live from the tiraq dot

3146
02:24:51,760 --> 02:24:54,160
Speaker 1: com studios. But first, here's the man I Low, Isaac

3147
02:24:54,200 --> 02:24:56,520
Speaker 1: Low and Krown with all your sports. Yeah, morning, fellas.

3148
02:24:56,560 --> 02:24:59,560
Speaker 15: Let's start in Major League Baseball, where overnight multiple outlets

3149
02:24:59,600 --> 02:25:03,120
Speaker 15: reported that the Chicago Cubs are resigning Cody Bellinger to

3150
02:25:03,160 --> 02:25:05,800
Speaker 15: a three year, eighty million dollar contract.

3151
02:25:05,800 --> 02:25:06,480
Speaker 1: In the NBA.

3152
02:25:06,640 --> 02:25:10,160
Speaker 15: On Saturday night, the Boston Celtics, bind thirty from Jalen Brown,

3153
02:25:10,560 --> 02:25:12,959
Speaker 15: defeated the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden one

3154
02:25:13,040 --> 02:25:15,119
Speaker 15: sixteen to one to two. The Celtics on an eight

3155
02:25:15,120 --> 02:25:17,520
Speaker 15: game winning streak. They won ten of eleven on the

3156
02:25:17,520 --> 02:25:20,200
Speaker 15: best record in the NBA at forty five and twelve.

3157
02:25:20,200 --> 02:25:22,800
Speaker 15: The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Brooklyn Nets on to one

3158
02:25:22,800 --> 02:25:25,680
Speaker 15: to eighty six. The Timberwolves took over first place in

3159
02:25:25,720 --> 02:25:28,040
Speaker 15: the Western Conference. They have a record now of forty

3160
02:25:28,080 --> 02:25:31,520
Speaker 15: and seventeen and in college hoops. On Saturday, at the

3161
02:25:31,600 --> 02:25:34,400
Speaker 15: end of Wake Forest eighty three seventy nine win over

3162
02:25:34,520 --> 02:25:39,760
Speaker 15: eighth ranked Duke Duke star center Kyle Philipowski injured his

3163
02:25:39,840 --> 02:25:42,879
Speaker 15: knee when one of the fans storming the court collided

3164
02:25:42,920 --> 02:25:47,680
Speaker 15: with him. Here was Philipowski afterwards with w FMY television.

3165
02:25:47,920 --> 02:25:50,760
Speaker 12: I felt a bunch of hits on my body. I

3166
02:25:50,840 --> 02:25:53,600
Speaker 12: you know, I just this storm was the worst of them.

3167
02:25:53,879 --> 02:25:57,360
Speaker 12: It's just really ridiculous. I've already heard that there's some

3168
02:25:57,440 --> 02:26:01,840
Speaker 12: videos of you know, dam funks the back and so

3169
02:26:01,959 --> 02:26:05,800
Speaker 12: I absolutely feel like it was personal, you know, intentional

3170
02:26:05,840 --> 02:26:08,080
Speaker 12: for sure. You know, like I said, there's there's no

3171
02:26:08,160 --> 02:26:11,480
Speaker 12: reason where they see a big guy like me trying

3172
02:26:11,480 --> 02:26:13,119
Speaker 12: to work my way off the court and they can't

3173
02:26:13,160 --> 02:26:13,840
Speaker 12: just work around me.

3174
02:26:13,920 --> 02:26:15,400
Speaker 3: You know, there's no excuse for that.

3175
02:26:15,720 --> 02:26:18,400
Speaker 1: Andy and Bucky back to you, thank you so much.

3176
02:26:18,440 --> 02:26:20,320
Speaker 1: I by the way, I'm going to ask you this book,

3177
02:26:20,360 --> 02:26:23,119
Speaker 1: this Filipowski who basically said he got hit in the back,

3178
02:26:23,160 --> 02:26:25,360
Speaker 1: he got punched in the back, and someone said he

3179
02:26:25,440 --> 02:26:27,800
Speaker 1: got his knee really banged up and had to carry

3180
02:26:27,840 --> 02:26:30,600
Speaker 1: him off the court. If it was you, okay, if

3181
02:26:30,640 --> 02:26:32,360
Speaker 1: it was you and you're a basketball player and they're

3182
02:26:32,400 --> 02:26:35,440
Speaker 1: rushing the court, you lost the game. Some guys punching

3183
02:26:35,440 --> 02:26:37,000
Speaker 1: the back. Will you turn around and knock him out?

3184
02:26:37,000 --> 02:26:40,119
Speaker 1: Give Michale punched to the face. I mean, obviously you'll

3185
02:26:40,120 --> 02:26:41,000
Speaker 1: probably be soothing.

3186
02:26:41,480 --> 02:26:45,160
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I don't think you can do that.

3187
02:26:45,240 --> 02:26:47,360
Speaker 2: But let me just say, I can't wait for this

3188
02:26:47,400 --> 02:26:50,200
Speaker 2: story to continue to unfold because there's been video footage

3189
02:26:50,800 --> 02:26:54,440
Speaker 2: shot from over top, from top down where we see

3190
02:26:54,840 --> 02:26:58,120
Speaker 2: the fans rush onto the court and all that, and

3191
02:26:58,200 --> 02:27:00,560
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it may not be exactly how he

3192
02:27:00,640 --> 02:27:03,840
Speaker 2: described it in terms of how he got hit. And

3193
02:27:04,240 --> 02:27:07,280
Speaker 2: I know that we are worried about player safety with

3194
02:27:07,360 --> 02:27:09,880
Speaker 2: fans rushing onto the court. I get all that, and

3195
02:27:09,879 --> 02:27:12,000
Speaker 2: it's actually one of the reasons why back in the

3196
02:27:12,080 --> 02:27:15,080
Speaker 2: day when Dean Smith was a head coach of North Carolina,

3197
02:27:15,280 --> 02:27:17,000
Speaker 2: he caught a lot of flak for this. But at

3198
02:27:17,000 --> 02:27:19,720
Speaker 2: the end of games, Dean Smith's teams used to run

3199
02:27:19,840 --> 02:27:20,760
Speaker 2: right off the court.

3200
02:27:20,959 --> 02:27:22,080
Speaker 3: They didn't shake hands.

3201
02:27:22,400 --> 02:27:25,000
Speaker 2: And part of that was because at the time when

3202
02:27:25,040 --> 02:27:27,240
Speaker 2: Carolina would lose, normally there would be a rush on

3203
02:27:27,280 --> 02:27:31,240
Speaker 2: the court, and to protect the players, they bounced immediately.

3204
02:27:31,800 --> 02:27:34,560
Speaker 2: Maybe some team you need to consider that. Hey, you

3205
02:27:34,600 --> 02:27:36,880
Speaker 2: know what, I get it. Y'all beat us, we'll waive,

3206
02:27:37,200 --> 02:27:37,760
Speaker 2: but we're out.

3207
02:27:38,680 --> 02:27:40,520
Speaker 1: You know, we mentioned this early on. When the LSU

3208
02:27:40,560 --> 02:27:43,200
Speaker 1: beat Kentucky last week, LSU they rushed the court. They

3209
02:27:43,200 --> 02:27:45,640
Speaker 1: got fined one hundred thousand this year. And then when

3210
02:27:45,840 --> 02:27:48,720
Speaker 1: Kaitlin Clark for Iowa was playing in Ohio State this

3211
02:27:48,840 --> 02:27:51,600
Speaker 1: year at Ohio State beat them, she got banged up

3212
02:27:51,600 --> 02:27:53,720
Speaker 1: pretty good after the if the rushing of the court.

3213
02:27:53,879 --> 02:27:56,800
Speaker 1: So I don't understand why it doesn't stop. I mean,

3214
02:27:57,040 --> 02:27:59,320
Speaker 1: injuries are right there for the making. And you know

3215
02:27:59,320 --> 02:28:01,560
Speaker 1: as well as I do. Nothing's gonna happen until someone

3216
02:28:01,560 --> 02:28:03,520
Speaker 1: gets trampled. That's the way it is. That's the way

3217
02:28:03,560 --> 02:28:05,960
Speaker 1: life is. You know, we'll keep it going until something

3218
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:09,240
Speaker 1: bad happens. Then when something bad happens and someone's an accident,

3219
02:28:09,640 --> 02:28:12,000
Speaker 1: then they change it. They changed the rule. It's crazy.

3220
02:28:12,040 --> 02:28:15,200
Speaker 1: I just I don't understand it. I don't get it.

3221
02:28:15,720 --> 02:28:18,640
Speaker 3: I look, I get all of that.

3222
02:28:18,680 --> 02:28:22,520
Speaker 2: But also remember being a college student, and I do

3223
02:28:22,600 --> 02:28:25,840
Speaker 2: remember how fun it is when you have a big

3224
02:28:25,879 --> 02:28:29,520
Speaker 2: win at home and everybody rushes the court. I remember

3225
02:28:29,520 --> 02:28:31,960
Speaker 2: when Carolina knocked off Duke when Duke was number one

3226
02:28:32,520 --> 02:28:35,320
Speaker 2: and the dean no MA and everyone rushed the court,

3227
02:28:35,360 --> 02:28:37,560
Speaker 2: and then they took that to the main drag on

3228
02:28:37,600 --> 02:28:39,680
Speaker 2: Franklin Street and partied it up.

3229
02:28:39,800 --> 02:28:42,600
Speaker 3: I remember, well, you're a part of it.

3230
02:28:42,640 --> 02:28:44,120
Speaker 1: What do you mean you remember you're a part of

3231
02:28:44,120 --> 02:28:45,560
Speaker 1: that deal you're run from.

3232
02:28:45,400 --> 02:28:47,840
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, like, I mean that's that's that's that's

3233
02:28:47,840 --> 02:28:48,640
Speaker 3: a part of the deal.

3234
02:28:48,680 --> 02:28:51,640
Speaker 2: I also remember winning football games and they rush, So

3235
02:28:51,720 --> 02:28:54,760
Speaker 2: I understand that there has to be a way that

3236
02:28:54,840 --> 02:28:59,480
Speaker 2: you can escort the visiting team off so you can

3237
02:28:59,520 --> 02:29:01,400
Speaker 2: party with you. They got to figure that out. But

3238
02:29:01,440 --> 02:29:03,680
Speaker 2: if I'm a coach, I'm gonna take manage of my own.

3239
02:29:03,760 --> 02:29:03,920
Speaker 3: Man.

3240
02:29:03,920 --> 02:29:06,120
Speaker 2: You know, when you're about to lose and like a

3241
02:29:06,120 --> 02:29:08,960
Speaker 2: big game like that, Duke knew that wake Forest is

3242
02:29:08,959 --> 02:29:11,080
Speaker 2: gonna rush the court, so you gotta.

3243
02:29:10,920 --> 02:29:11,400
Speaker 3: Get off the court.

3244
02:29:11,440 --> 02:29:14,480
Speaker 2: You gotta get off the way, like you can slump

3245
02:29:14,560 --> 02:29:16,959
Speaker 2: and saunter off the court if you want to, but

3246
02:29:17,120 --> 02:29:20,400
Speaker 2: just know the students are coming at some point. Yes,

3247
02:29:20,720 --> 02:29:22,160
Speaker 2: we got to make sure we put it on wake

3248
02:29:22,200 --> 02:29:25,600
Speaker 2: forest and security or whatever. But also for the duke players,

3249
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:27,920
Speaker 2: hey man, you gotta keep it moving. We gotta get

3250
02:29:27,920 --> 02:29:29,279
Speaker 2: off the court, slump.

3251
02:29:29,080 --> 02:29:32,879
Speaker 3: Shoulders, all that other stuff Paldy faces. We gotta keep moving,

3252
02:29:32,959 --> 02:29:34,120
Speaker 3: gotta get off the court.

3253
02:29:34,440 --> 02:29:36,200
Speaker 1: I likely you said about what Dean Smith did, like

3254
02:29:36,240 --> 02:29:37,879
Speaker 1: they didn't shake hands with divisiit any team, let me

3255
02:29:37,879 --> 02:29:40,279
Speaker 1: ask you this. It's a tradition, I know, but why

3256
02:29:40,640 --> 02:29:43,560
Speaker 1: why would you shake hands after it it's over? Move on?

3257
02:29:43,879 --> 02:29:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean even the coach they don't want to shake hands,

3258
02:29:45,840 --> 02:29:48,120
Speaker 1: but they do. What's the deal with that. We don't

3259
02:29:48,160 --> 02:29:50,040
Speaker 1: do it in football, do we? I mean in college football?

3260
02:29:50,040 --> 02:29:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't see that.

3261
02:29:50,959 --> 02:29:52,039
Speaker 3: The ones and all they.

3262
02:29:54,680 --> 02:29:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the expectation. The expectation is that at the

3263
02:29:57,680 --> 02:30:00,959
Speaker 2: end of a contest, like it's sport, like you should

3264
02:30:01,000 --> 02:30:03,800
Speaker 2: have sportsmanship, commend the other team, whether you believe it

3265
02:30:03,920 --> 02:30:06,240
Speaker 2: or not, like it makes us feel good, right, it

3266
02:30:06,280 --> 02:30:08,880
Speaker 2: makes us feel good that look at that they just

3267
02:30:08,959 --> 02:30:11,760
Speaker 2: had a tough battle. Let's walk across the shake hands

3268
02:30:11,840 --> 02:30:15,760
Speaker 2: or whatever. Well, the reality is typically most teams don't

3269
02:30:15,800 --> 02:30:18,640
Speaker 2: like the other team, right, you know, and so you

3270
02:30:18,640 --> 02:30:22,039
Speaker 2: you are inviting those incidents to happen, because all it

3271
02:30:22,080 --> 02:30:24,640
Speaker 2: takes is for someone to say something crazy for it

3272
02:30:24,640 --> 02:30:26,959
Speaker 2: to escalate and to become a brawl. I am for

3273
02:30:27,080 --> 02:30:29,200
Speaker 2: shaking hands if you want to shake hands, but I'm

3274
02:30:29,240 --> 02:30:31,080
Speaker 2: also not offended if you don't want to shake hands

3275
02:30:31,080 --> 02:30:34,640
Speaker 2: at the end of a contest. It's highly charged, it's emotional.

3276
02:30:36,240 --> 02:30:37,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes those things can do it.

3277
02:30:37,640 --> 02:30:39,480
Speaker 1: So depends not just the players. Didn't we see the

3278
02:30:39,720 --> 02:30:42,560
Speaker 1: Michigan lest the coaches got into it. They had a scrap.

3279
02:30:42,959 --> 02:30:44,119
Speaker 1: The coaches will find.

3280
02:30:44,000 --> 02:30:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, the men's team, right, Yeah, it happens, Yeah, it happens.

3281
02:30:48,800 --> 02:30:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to Thursday. I thought I

3282
02:30:50,200 --> 02:30:53,160
Speaker 1: was in Bloomy Tye, so the Indiana Iowa women's game,

3283
02:30:53,240 --> 02:30:56,000
Speaker 1: I may be mistaken, and I was on court side.

3284
02:30:56,360 --> 02:30:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure after Ohio State won they ran off

3285
02:30:59,480 --> 02:31:02,320
Speaker 1: the court and shake hands with it with Iowa, and

3286
02:31:02,360 --> 02:31:04,920
Speaker 1: that's okay with me. I don't mind. And Iowa just

3287
02:31:04,959 --> 02:31:07,320
Speaker 1: walked out and they would have their heads down, certainly

3288
02:31:07,360 --> 02:31:10,240
Speaker 1: they should have. They got blown out by about seventeen.

3289
02:31:10,320 --> 02:31:12,520
Speaker 1: But the point is that I didn't say any handshaking

3290
02:31:12,520 --> 02:31:15,160
Speaker 1: the head. Look, there was hatred there. I saw what

3291
02:31:15,200 --> 02:31:17,480
Speaker 1: the kids did in the stands. The stands right now,

3292
02:31:17,680 --> 02:31:20,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to play. I'd be so baited to

3293
02:31:20,360 --> 02:31:22,480
Speaker 1: go in through the stand My good friend Lincoln Kennedy,

3294
02:31:22,600 --> 02:31:24,360
Speaker 1: you know the story when he got hit with a

3295
02:31:24,360 --> 02:31:26,360
Speaker 1: snowball in Denver. He ran it to the stands and

3296
02:31:26,400 --> 02:31:28,560
Speaker 1: be the living daylights out of the guy. I give

3297
02:31:28,600 --> 02:31:31,240
Speaker 1: it credit for that. You know, just how much can

3298
02:31:31,280 --> 02:31:34,240
Speaker 1: you take? I mean, the booing and like the f

3299
02:31:34,320 --> 02:31:36,520
Speaker 1: bombs they were throwing it at Danny Hurley, the Yukon

3300
02:31:36,640 --> 02:31:40,320
Speaker 1: coach from Crayton last week. It's got to stop. It's ugly,

3301
02:31:40,400 --> 02:31:44,360
Speaker 1: it's disgusting, it's wrong. I don't get it. I just

3302
02:31:44,800 --> 02:31:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't understand when and how this started and why

3303
02:31:46,879 --> 02:31:47,400
Speaker 1: it started.

3304
02:31:49,440 --> 02:31:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's funny. I don't mind either way,

3305
02:31:55,879 --> 02:31:57,959
Speaker 2: But I understand from a safety standpoint. Man, you lose

3306
02:31:58,000 --> 02:32:00,160
Speaker 2: a big game and you know you can sense that

3307
02:32:00,200 --> 02:32:03,240
Speaker 2: the crowd is bubbling up and that's all time to

3308
02:32:03,240 --> 02:32:03,920
Speaker 2: get off the field.

3309
02:32:04,280 --> 02:32:04,520
Speaker 3: I know.

3310
02:32:05,280 --> 02:32:07,760
Speaker 1: It's uh. You know, even the starting lineups. You know

3311
02:32:08,040 --> 02:32:10,560
Speaker 1: that they have like these news defense in the fans section.

3312
02:32:10,680 --> 02:32:13,680
Speaker 1: This student section. They have these phony newspapers in front

3313
02:32:13,680 --> 02:32:15,920
Speaker 1: of their face, and when they announced the names of

3314
02:32:15,959 --> 02:32:18,760
Speaker 1: the visiting team, they said, who's that? And then the

3315
02:32:18,800 --> 02:32:21,920
Speaker 1: next thing, who cares? We never heard of you? You know,

3316
02:32:22,200 --> 02:32:25,360
Speaker 1: it's just so much negativity. Oh I remember. I think

3317
02:32:25,360 --> 02:32:27,880
Speaker 1: it was Arizona, Arizona State. They had like a curtain

3318
02:32:28,200 --> 02:32:32,160
Speaker 1: behind the free throw under the basket when the visiting

3319
02:32:32,160 --> 02:32:33,680
Speaker 1: team was taking a free throw, they had like a

3320
02:32:33,680 --> 02:32:36,720
Speaker 1: little curtain with puppets and marionettes. It's crazy. I mean,

3321
02:32:36,720 --> 02:32:40,480
Speaker 1: it's creative, but it's crazy. Geez. Someone's got to stop.

3322
02:32:40,240 --> 02:32:42,760
Speaker 2: It, right, No, I mean, that's the environment. That's the

3323
02:32:42,800 --> 02:32:45,520
Speaker 2: environment we're in. That's that's okay. But I'm okay with

3324
02:32:45,680 --> 02:32:48,520
Speaker 2: all of that, right, I'm okay with the Cameron crazies

3325
02:32:48,800 --> 02:32:50,520
Speaker 2: and all that. The only thing that I would ever

3326
02:32:50,640 --> 02:32:54,320
Speaker 2: ask is, man, be careful calling someone out of their name.

3327
02:32:54,840 --> 02:32:57,440
Speaker 2: There's certain words that can trigger people, so just be

3328
02:32:57,520 --> 02:33:00,680
Speaker 2: careful with that. Don't touch anybody. If you do, not

3329
02:33:00,720 --> 02:33:04,520
Speaker 2: touch player, do not touch personnel. And then most importantly,

3330
02:33:04,840 --> 02:33:08,000
Speaker 2: if you're the home team, make sure you have enough

3331
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:11,000
Speaker 2: security to protect the visiting team in the event that

3332
02:33:11,040 --> 02:33:11,840
Speaker 2: your team wins.

3333
02:33:12,240 --> 02:33:12,720
Speaker 3: That's it.

3334
02:33:13,120 --> 02:33:15,400
Speaker 2: Just make sure you can protect those guys, because you

3335
02:33:15,400 --> 02:33:18,120
Speaker 2: don't want to see anybody hurt. I am for the fun,

3336
02:33:18,280 --> 02:33:20,520
Speaker 2: I'm for all of that stuff. I'm for creating a

3337
02:33:20,640 --> 02:33:24,560
Speaker 2: hostile environment, all of that, but just make sure safety

3338
02:33:24,680 --> 02:33:26,880
Speaker 2: is a priority. So when it comes to rushing the

3339
02:33:26,879 --> 02:33:29,000
Speaker 2: field and those things, you got to prioritize. See if

3340
02:33:29,000 --> 02:33:31,240
Speaker 2: you can slow it down, give them maybe three or

3341
02:33:31,280 --> 02:33:33,480
Speaker 2: four minutes to get off the court or get off

3342
02:33:33,520 --> 02:33:36,400
Speaker 2: the field, and then they can rush it as soon

3343
02:33:36,480 --> 02:33:38,520
Speaker 2: as that other team is off that might be.

3344
02:33:39,200 --> 02:33:40,879
Speaker 1: And I remember how they slowed it down a little

3345
02:33:40,879 --> 02:33:44,160
Speaker 1: bit in college football, didn't they grease the goalposts because

3346
02:33:44,200 --> 02:33:46,000
Speaker 1: they were kids trying to climb up on the goal

3347
02:33:46,080 --> 02:33:48,560
Speaker 1: posts and rip them down. They greased them so they

3348
02:33:48,600 --> 02:33:50,760
Speaker 1: slide down and they couldn't grab hold of it to

3349
02:33:50,879 --> 02:33:52,080
Speaker 1: rip the goalpost down.

3350
02:33:53,000 --> 02:33:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that did eliminate some of that stuff because they

3351
02:33:57,400 --> 02:33:59,720
Speaker 2: were having people that were getting hurt, like jumping on

3352
02:33:59,760 --> 02:34:01,600
Speaker 2: the goal post pulling it down, and then the goal

3353
02:34:01,640 --> 02:34:04,080
Speaker 2: posts would come down and land on somebody.

3354
02:34:04,680 --> 02:34:06,720
Speaker 3: That was a real thing. That's a good memory. That

3355
02:34:07,000 --> 02:34:08,879
Speaker 3: was a part of the story.

3356
02:34:08,959 --> 02:34:11,160
Speaker 1: Look, I'm gonna tell you right now. The stories that

3357
02:34:11,200 --> 02:34:13,920
Speaker 1: I hear I mean, truth is stranger in fiction. You're

3358
02:34:14,400 --> 02:34:17,360
Speaker 1: standing on goal posts, ripping goal posts down. I've seen it.

3359
02:34:18,000 --> 02:34:19,920
Speaker 1: I've never been part of it, but I've seen it

3360
02:34:20,000 --> 02:34:20,520
Speaker 1: when it happened.

3361
02:34:21,320 --> 02:34:21,480
Speaker 3: Right.

3362
02:34:21,640 --> 02:34:23,000
Speaker 1: No, I'm not doing that.

3363
02:34:23,080 --> 02:34:23,160
Speaker 9: No.

3364
02:34:23,440 --> 02:34:25,040
Speaker 1: I got out a gym class because I couldn't cimb

3365
02:34:25,040 --> 02:34:26,840
Speaker 1: the ropes. And I'm not gonna climb a goal post.

3366
02:34:27,000 --> 02:34:28,959
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I doing that. That's why

3367
02:34:28,959 --> 02:34:31,040
Speaker 1: I became manager of the basketball team in high school.

3368
02:34:31,160 --> 02:34:33,600
Speaker 1: I used the coach and said, look, i'll be your manager.

3369
02:34:33,720 --> 02:34:36,440
Speaker 1: I'll keep the stats, I'll call the results into the newspapers,

3370
02:34:36,640 --> 02:34:38,560
Speaker 1: but get me out of gym class, and he did so.

3371
02:34:38,600 --> 02:34:40,120
Speaker 1: I never went to gym in high school, but I

3372
02:34:40,160 --> 02:34:42,440
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna. I could kill myself on those ropes. Are

3373
02:34:42,440 --> 02:34:45,520
Speaker 1: you kidding me? There's no way. But just the things

3374
02:34:45,560 --> 02:34:49,280
Speaker 1: that I've seen over the years, like with the activities

3375
02:34:49,320 --> 02:34:53,400
Speaker 1: with with people climbing on goal posts and stuff like that,

3376
02:34:53,680 --> 02:34:55,680
Speaker 1: it just it just blows me away. It really does.

3377
02:34:55,760 --> 02:34:57,840
Speaker 1: I just I see it, but I don't believe it.

3378
02:34:57,920 --> 02:35:00,680
Speaker 1: Truth is stranger in fiction, it really is. I don't

3379
02:35:00,720 --> 02:35:04,880
Speaker 1: get it. I just don't. What about you, have you

3380
02:35:04,959 --> 02:35:05,720
Speaker 1: been one of that stuff?

3381
02:35:05,800 --> 02:35:06,160
Speaker 3: Is different.

3382
02:35:06,200 --> 02:35:07,080
Speaker 1: No, you don't do it.

3383
02:35:07,400 --> 02:35:09,160
Speaker 3: You don't do that stuff. I mean, like like some

3384
02:35:09,240 --> 02:35:09,480
Speaker 3: of it.

3385
02:35:09,640 --> 02:35:11,400
Speaker 2: I told you some of it in college was fun

3386
02:35:11,480 --> 02:35:13,720
Speaker 2: as part of the experience, so part of the memories.

3387
02:35:14,600 --> 02:35:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I did fun in a different manner,

3388
02:35:17,879 --> 02:35:21,840
Speaker 1: in a different way, not like that. But it's things

3389
02:35:21,879 --> 02:35:25,240
Speaker 1: are different. I don't know. You know, live and let live,

3390
02:35:25,280 --> 02:35:27,880
Speaker 1: That's what I say. But just be careful, don't get

3420
02:36:47,680 --> 02:36:50,320
Speaker 1: you comment and what you have to say about it.

3421
02:36:50,400 --> 02:36:53,480
Speaker 1: If you ever heard about it, if you'd be involved

3422
02:36:53,520 --> 02:36:55,120
Speaker 1: with it, would you do it? And we're going to

3423
02:36:55,200 --> 02:36:59,920
Speaker 1: talk about the Japan's Naked Man Festival, the Naked Man Festival.

3424
02:37:00,040 --> 02:37:03,440
Speaker 1: It's an annual event commonly known as the Naked Man Festival.

3425
02:37:03,520 --> 02:37:05,840
Speaker 1: It came to an end if the nearly one thousand

3426
02:37:05,920 --> 02:37:08,600
Speaker 1: years due to the declining population in the area. This

3427
02:37:08,640 --> 02:37:12,080
Speaker 1: according to the organizer. The summon Si festival, commonly known

3428
02:37:12,400 --> 02:37:16,080
Speaker 1: as the Naked Man Festival, involves hundreds of winecloth clad

3429
02:37:16,160 --> 02:37:19,320
Speaker 1: men gathering at the temple to wrestle for ownership of

3430
02:37:19,320 --> 02:37:22,400
Speaker 1: a beg of talisman blessed by the temple's chief priest.

3431
02:37:22,640 --> 02:37:24,480
Speaker 1: And the festival, which dates back for more than a

3432
02:37:24,560 --> 02:37:28,320
Speaker 1: thousand years, is held annually on the seventh day of

3433
02:37:28,360 --> 02:37:31,720
Speaker 1: the lunar New Year, and the chief priest of the

3434
02:37:31,760 --> 02:37:35,000
Speaker 1: temple announced that this year's festival, which was held Saturday,

3435
02:37:35,400 --> 02:37:38,080
Speaker 1: was the facility's last, and the decision is due to

3436
02:37:38,080 --> 02:37:41,320
Speaker 1: the aging of individuals involved in the festival and of

3437
02:37:41,360 --> 02:37:45,520
Speaker 1: course a shortage of successes. This year's winner was local

3438
02:37:45,560 --> 02:37:50,080
Speaker 1: resident Koluchi Toshiaki, forty nine years of age, who was

3439
02:37:50,120 --> 02:37:53,080
Speaker 1: a member of the festival's preservation association. And I'm going

3440
02:37:53,120 --> 02:37:55,960
Speaker 1: to throw this out to Isaac Longkrin, who's a tremendous

3441
02:37:56,000 --> 02:37:59,320
Speaker 1: sports update guy and reporter. Have you ever heard of

3442
02:37:59,360 --> 02:38:01,119
Speaker 1: the Japan Naked Man Festival.

3443
02:38:01,240 --> 02:38:04,000
Speaker 15: First of all, why is it me against the first

3444
02:38:04,040 --> 02:38:06,640
Speaker 15: crack at this second? Why am I just finding about

3445
02:38:06,879 --> 02:38:07,760
Speaker 15: finding out about this?

3446
02:38:07,879 --> 02:38:08,080
Speaker 8: Now?

3447
02:38:08,120 --> 02:38:10,760
Speaker 1: This has been here for a thousand years.

3448
02:38:11,120 --> 02:38:13,320
Speaker 15: This is something that you would think would be on

3449
02:38:13,480 --> 02:38:16,800
Speaker 15: international television that would have the same sort of coverage

3450
02:38:16,800 --> 02:38:17,800
Speaker 15: as the World Cup Final.

3451
02:38:17,959 --> 02:38:20,840
Speaker 1: Very disappointing because it's X rated. Maybe that's why I lowed.

3452
02:38:21,040 --> 02:38:23,680
Speaker 1: You said they were loincloths, but still you can see

3453
02:38:23,680 --> 02:38:25,680
Speaker 1: through it, just like Major League Baseball uniforms. Now, what

3454
02:38:25,720 --> 02:38:27,240
Speaker 1: do you see through them? What do you mean by

3455
02:38:27,240 --> 02:38:30,800
Speaker 1: a shortage of competitors? I guess people are saying I'd

3456
02:38:30,879 --> 02:38:34,160
Speaker 1: rather not you think, I mean, would you do it?

3457
02:38:34,160 --> 02:38:35,840
Speaker 1: I would? There was a double entendre there.

3458
02:38:35,840 --> 02:38:36,480
Speaker 3: I'm just saying.

3459
02:38:38,920 --> 02:38:41,680
Speaker 1: You know, you're an athlete. I'm talking about Bucket Brooks,

3460
02:38:41,680 --> 02:38:43,560
Speaker 1: and I think that you would do this. If there's

3461
02:38:43,560 --> 02:38:46,199
Speaker 1: a big prize money to show your athleticism, you would

3462
02:38:46,200 --> 02:38:48,080
Speaker 1: do it. You do the naked man run.

3463
02:38:49,200 --> 02:38:53,120
Speaker 3: No, I can't believe it. I'm good. I'm good. All

3464
02:38:53,200 --> 02:38:54,520
Speaker 3: this money else take care of there for me.

3465
02:38:54,680 --> 02:38:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm gonna go with the IYEMN because I

3466
02:38:57,760 --> 02:38:59,680
Speaker 1: think a couple of drinks in you. You could do anything.

3467
02:39:00,160 --> 02:39:01,080
Speaker 8: I'll do it if you do it.

3468
02:39:02,080 --> 02:39:03,959
Speaker 1: You know what if I had a couple of shots

3469
02:39:03,959 --> 02:39:05,520
Speaker 1: of the killing me, I think I would do it.

3470
02:39:06,240 --> 02:39:07,119
Speaker 8: All right, let's do it.

3471
02:39:07,440 --> 02:39:08,800
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's over, it is no more.

3472
02:39:08,920 --> 02:39:12,000
Speaker 15: What if the prize was changed from whatever that that

3473
02:39:12,440 --> 02:39:14,280
Speaker 15: talisman you said they were giving away. What if that

3474
02:39:14,400 --> 02:39:16,520
Speaker 15: was changed to Super Bowl tickets? I think there would

3475
02:39:16,520 --> 02:39:18,400
Speaker 15: be a longer list of sign ups domestically.

3476
02:39:18,680 --> 02:39:21,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I realized now, the tickets that

3477
02:39:21,640 --> 02:39:23,840
Speaker 1: you go, even media passes. I'll tell you right now.

3478
02:39:23,840 --> 02:39:25,879
Speaker 1: When I went to that game Thursday night in Bloomington,

3479
02:39:26,200 --> 02:39:28,880
Speaker 1: they gave me media pass, and my immedia piss like Roquay.

3480
02:39:29,200 --> 02:39:31,480
Speaker 1: It was at the roof. You know, I need binoculous

3481
02:39:31,480 --> 02:39:33,520
Speaker 1: to see the question. I ain't sitting up here. I

3482
02:39:33,560 --> 02:39:35,480
Speaker 1: went down to the court. I went to court side,

3483
02:39:35,560 --> 02:39:37,320
Speaker 1: and no one stopped me, you know, not that they

3484
02:39:37,400 --> 02:39:40,240
Speaker 1: knew me. But I figured if I'm bold enough to

3485
02:39:40,240 --> 02:39:41,840
Speaker 1: sit there, then I could tell me to leave. So

3486
02:39:41,879 --> 02:39:43,680
Speaker 1: I sat there. I would not go up to k

3487
02:39:44,080 --> 02:39:45,760
Speaker 1: If I would have known initially I would have to

3488
02:39:45,760 --> 02:39:47,920
Speaker 1: sit there. I wouldn't have driven from my home one

3489
02:39:48,000 --> 02:39:50,520
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty miles to Bloomington, Indiana to see the game.

3490
02:39:50,879 --> 02:39:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I see what the media is done. Because

3491
02:39:53,000 --> 02:39:54,600
Speaker 1: you know what they do now you know this Ilo.

3492
02:39:54,959 --> 02:39:58,280
Speaker 1: They sell the court side seats which used to be

3493
02:39:58,280 --> 02:40:01,039
Speaker 1: for media. They sell it the big time people to

3494
02:40:01,160 --> 02:40:03,440
Speaker 1: raise money. That's what they do now, sell those scenes.

3495
02:40:03,640 --> 02:40:07,759
Speaker 1: And now for us, it's Hubble telescopes. Get your Hubble telescopes.

3496
02:40:07,840 --> 02:40:10,320
Speaker 1: There you go, there, Ago, That's why I wouldn't do

3497
02:40:10,360 --> 02:40:12,240
Speaker 1: it all right, lest but not least, just get this

3498
02:40:12,280 --> 02:40:14,880
Speaker 1: one in here. A lottery winner left a five hundred

3499
02:40:14,920 --> 02:40:17,640
Speaker 1: thousand dollars ticket behind at the store. Have you ever

3500
02:40:17,720 --> 02:40:20,560
Speaker 1: kicked yourself with an event like that? Kevin Fry told

3501
02:40:20,600 --> 02:40:23,280
Speaker 1: the Iowa Lottery officials. He bought a five hundred thousand

3502
02:40:23,320 --> 02:40:26,160
