12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: The primetime coverage on the West Coast, getting a replay

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: of the gold medal game between the United States and

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: Canada from earlier today. Who I'll tell you the United

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: States winning the gold medal over Canada two to one.

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: Meghan Keller's goal in overtime three on three as exciting

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: a moment as you could absolutely want to see, and

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: it was. But you want to talk about the agony,

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: the best and the worst of the Olympics, right, because

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: I got the best in the worst and the worst

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: is not going to be what you think, right, The

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: worst is not. But there was a worst today and

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm going, Wow, this was such an epic fail coming

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: off this game that everybody watched. Now the ecstasy of

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: course the United States wins Canada again. I can't get

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: over an incredible strategy for fifty eight minutes, blocking shots,

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: stop the United States passing lanes. United States not adjusting

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: at all, just going to continue doing the same thing

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: over and over looking, hoping and hoping. And I tweeted

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: out middle of third period, I said, United States is

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: not doing anything. They are going to need a deflection

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: to go in to get back in this game. I

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: say it here. It comes out in Milan. Hillary Knight

34
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: gets a deflection with two minutes left to go in

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: the game.

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: That ties.

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: It puts the air back in the arena and gives

38
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: the United States life going into overtime like that was

39
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: for a team that got out coached and outperformed for

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: fifty eight minutes, it's all in. To make that decision

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: at two minutes left to pull the goalie right like

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: that is that is and to pull Frankel, who kept

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: them in had a great game today. To pull the

44
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: goalie with two minutes left, that is a ballsy decision, man,

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: That is WHOA that's a little early, man. But turned

46
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: out that was where I know what. That's the Mike Tomlin.

47
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: That's why I do what I do and you do

48
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: what you do because pulling the goalie that early gave

49
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: the United you know, rather than when are we gonna

50
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: do it? It's it's chaotic. We have a timeout. Let's

51
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: pull the goalie out right. I could I put my

52
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: line out there, I put the people I want out there.

53
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about anything. What am I

54
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: gonna wait and do it in thirty seconds? Why am

55
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: I doing that? Let's do it now. We're not getting

56
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: any juice. And he pulls the goalie and and it's

57
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: a it's an incredible play. The shot from the point

58
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: comes in, Hillary Knight deflects it for the goal, and

59
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: it's just it was a lightning bolt. And if you're Canada,

60
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: that was the moment where you realize we're losing this

61
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: game because everything they did right for fifty eight minutes,

62
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: which shows you how much of an un dog they worr.

63
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: You know, these are the two best countries in the

64
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: world in hockey, both women's teams that you knew we

65
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: did everything we could. It was it was let's play

66
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: this defensive shell and let's hope to squeak a goal

67
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: out somewhere. They get it on a shorthanded rush. Fourth

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: liner scores a goal for Canada. Shorthand is like, okay,

69
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: we're good. We're going to park the bus and you

70
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: are not going to find a way to get through

71
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: to our goalie. And it was an incredible strategy. And

72
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: when it all falls apart because of a deflection, that

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: is absolutely deflating for Canada. Well, but go back to

74
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: the last round in the US and Sweden fifty eight minutes.

75
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: You're good, give up the goal ninety one seconds left,

76
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: gotta go win in overtime.

77
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: Now you have the script is flipped and.

78
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: You're chasing all the dominance doesn't matter leading up to

79
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: that moment, right, sixteen straight shut out periods, thirty one

80
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: one gold differential, All that's gone. You're into the final

81
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: two minutes. And that's one of the most exciting things

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: that we watch. Right when we're watching nh L games,

83
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: You and I here in the studio are going back

84
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: and forth when when craziness is going on on the weekends,

85
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: is all right, when's the picture and picture come up

86
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: for the goalie getting ready to skate.

87
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: Out like that? Right?

88
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

89
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: And there it goes, Zora, there she goes, and then

90
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: we watch it but for for two minutes here and

91
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: Hillary Knight. I mean, everybody's gonna go through the Wikipedia,

92
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: go through the lawn laundry list of games, big moments

93
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: and histories on the Olympic stage. To finish this way

94
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: just absolutely insane. But I think I know the moment

95
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: that you're going on the on the down side, okay,

96
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: as students of this game, okay, and having known you

97
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: for as long as I have as to what you're

98
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: watching and what I'm.

99
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: Watching, now, there's more ecstasy before we get to the act. Okay.

100
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: Look, we talked about the big goal that won the

101
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: game in overtime by making Keller, but Hillary Night's goal,

102
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: and I'm glad they spent some time talking about this

103
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: on the broadcast, just how difficult it is to deflect

104
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: a puck into the net. Right, Like I told you,

105
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: I played hockey for a long time. I was a

106
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: glad amor boy. I was a goal scorer.

107
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: Right.

108
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: That's why that Keller goal my sweet spot between the

109
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: goalies uh uh stick arm and and and and side,

110
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: because that's always open if you get the goalie moving

111
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: like that was like, I was like, I don't know

112
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: about role models, but you're in mind because that's I

113
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: was no glamorab I was fierce. That's looking kids, but

114
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: musical education. That goal by Hillary Knight because when you

115
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: when you're in front, you're just hoping and you don't

116
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: know where you're deflecting. You're trying to deflect it behind

117
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: you up where the goalie isn't but you have no idea.

118
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 2: I mean honest, you have no idea.

119
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: It's heads and soccer's with an extra degree of difficulty

120
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: because you have the stick. In my life, Okay, and

121
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: again I scored tons of goals, Like I scored so

122
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: many goals again because that's what I did. Did you

123
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: give out more hats as people hats to me because

124
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: I was I was, I was, I was fierce.

125
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: Did those hats? Did you get court right? Due?

126
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: This was this was rollerht Yeah, little tys. Yeah. One

127
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: time in my life, all the goals I scored, the

128
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: thousands of goals I've scored in my life. One time

129
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: I can remember deflecting a puck into the net for

130
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: a goal. One time I can remember doing it because

131
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: it's so incredibly hard to do and it was a

132
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: play where I saw the defenceman coming He's gonna take

133
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: a shot from the point, and I skated up and

134
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: I was skated around the defender and the puck was

135
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: coming in and I just happened to put my stick

136
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: on the ground in front, and the puck hit my

137
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: stick and just went like up a ramp and the

138
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: goalie was down and went up over his shoulder and

139
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: into the net. And I was like whoa, because I've

140
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: never it's so impossible to score that way. It's such

141
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: a hard thing to do. For Hillary Knight, just in front,

142
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to deflect it. And even if you don't

143
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: deflect in the net, you're hoping I can deflect it

144
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: to someone. But it's a dice roll. It can go anywhere.

145
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: It's so unpredictable. The fact that that's what they got like,

146
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: and that's why I said they need a deflection of

147
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: some kind because they're not getting a clear look at

148
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: the net, they're not getting in close, they're not getting

149
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: two on ones.

150
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: Canada is playing.

151
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: Perfectly, and that to lose on a goal like that

152
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: untell as hard as that is, that is so deflating.

153
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: It's so deflating, Like I could see why Canada. After

154
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: the game was over and they're giving out the medals,

155
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: right and they give the silver medals to to Canada,

156
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: and then they go back with the plushies, which is

157
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: kind of stupid, you know, like how about you do

158
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: the metal but like they go back with them. Go

159
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: back and watch, go back and watch when the Canada

160
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: team Canada is getting the plushies, it looks like they

161
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: want to just take them and throw them at the

162
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: person giving them to them, Like Canada has no interest

163
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: in the plusure. The women are looking at him like whatever,

164
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Like I know they want to throw them down to

165
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: throw away, but hey, I'm on camera and I'm gonna

166
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: hold onto it here. They had no interest in them.

167
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: They did not want to be standing there at all.

168
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: They thought, this is our gold medal, this is our

169
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: gold medal. And yet yeah, okay, get your silver medal.

170
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: That's great, that's how it goes. Oh but stay for

171
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: a plushy with the Matscott of the Olympics. One of

172
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: the players at the end just picks it up, stares

173
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: at it, shakes.

174
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: Her head and dad it was hysterical.

175
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: Happily did not rip the head off of any of

176
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: the plush. He's thus traumatizing generations of children watching. The

177
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: implied odds for this one the United States eighty percent

178
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: for victory. You had the plus three twenty five and

179
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: some of the money line for Canada in this one,

180
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: but they played it as well as they could fifty

181
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: eight minutes plus. To your point about deflections, one of

182
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: those things, right, my daughter. The soccer thing is the

183
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: specialist off corners. You're hoping to get the right angle,

184
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: but you're also playing getting bodied at the same time.

185
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Like that's the other part. It's not a matter of

186
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: just getting a stick. It's like, am I about to

187
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: get variable checked in the back? Am I about to

188
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: get knocked off my spot?

189
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: How Like?

190
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: There's a million variables you're waiting on contact that doesn't

191
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: come right. We talk about it in the NFL quarterbacks

192
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: and being sped up by pressure they create themselves by

193
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: moving too early, or they've taken a number of hits

194
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: and it gets sped up. We watch Drake May and

195
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl here it's it's the perfect convergence on

196
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: the US side of the patients the know. How Like

197
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: like when you talk about Knight and her CV and

198
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: the number of big games she's played. The moment was

199
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: there for her, right, I don't know. I don't know

200
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: how many of the other players could make that. You

201
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: can make that because of that experience in that big

202
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: kind of moment and gives you the extra minutes to

203
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: play on and ultimately get a goal that we'll be

204
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: talking about forever. Now, the agony part of it, Okay,

205
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: this is and this is me coming from and you

206
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: already went Team Canada, you already talked about their agony

207
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: wanting to kill the plusies. The pluses are worth some

208
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: money though, so they can at least Yeah, that is true.

209
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they all have a niece and nephew,

210
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: a son, daughter or you know, beloved over there that.

211
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: They can give one. Put that thing right on you back.

212
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: The absolute epic fail and the agony of this was

213
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: directly following Keller's goal. She scores, the game's over and

214
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: they stay on this wide shot of the fans behind

215
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: the net celebrating where's the cutaway to Team USA. I'm

216
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: watching going, Okay, you're gonna cut it, Noe, We're gonna

217
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: watch the fans celebrate. Why we're watching a ey shot

218
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: of the fans celebrating. Who the hell is working this thing?

219
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? Are they even in

220
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: Italy doing this?

221
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: Like?

222
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: Where? What's happening? Are they doing this remotely?

223
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: Like? How did you not cut to the United States

224
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: celebrating everybody jumping off the bench, they're running. How do

225
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: you not cut to the Canada team that's just sitting

226
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: there on their haunches, not understanding what's going on? How

227
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: do you not cut to Tom Brady and Mike h

228
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: RUZIONI you show them hanging out talking.

229
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: How do you not cut to them? What the hell

230
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: are you doing?

231
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: Like?

232
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you have one job.

233
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: Here's a goal, show the celebration, and instead it's we're

234
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: watching the fans and then we get some kind of

235
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: crazy late here's a couple of players hugging and a

236
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: couple of players hugging, Like, what are you doing? Man?

237
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: Like that? Like that that's a postgame meeting.

238
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: That's a post meeting going okay, whoever's in charge of that,

239
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: whether it's a director or the switcher or the TV

240
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: whoever it was, like, that's an epic fail, man, That

241
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: is an absolute epic fail because you finally got the

242
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: angles after it was over, and I'm like, I don't

243
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: understand why.

244
00:10:59,160 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: It was just like that.

245
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: You go back to to yesterday when when Quinn scored

246
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: in overtime and it was ISO of him banging a

247
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: stick up against the boards and the celebration the team

248
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: coming off the bench.

249
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's how it's done. That and immediately to.

250
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: The dejected Swedes. And and that was the best because

251
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: they cut to the Swedish team. They had that camera

252
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: angle just off the ice where the goalie and the

253
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: defensemen are on their knee, on one knee, staring.

254
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: At him like that's the best shot of the Olympics.

255
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: That's the best bleeping shot of the Olympics. The stands

256
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: and despondent fans back to the bench where they're all

257
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: just in one heads down, staring thousand thousand miles stare

258
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: right there, thousand yards scares. I don't know how how

259
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: that went at the end of like where's the reaction?

260
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: Where are this?

261
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: And they never went to Brady and Eruzionia, and maybe

262
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: Brady left, I don't know, but Rouziona, you know, stuck,

263
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: he was there. But here was the thing, right and

264
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: we're watching the now Prime time coverage, Right, we got

265
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: skating on one and we got the hockey game is

266
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: just underway on another in terms of the skating skating

267
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: finals and they're going back and forth. They come out

268
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: of a break and they showed the shot of Keller.

269
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: After it they had a camera.

270
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they clearly had a camera follow her yep, because

271
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,119
Speaker 1: she scores the goal and starts skating, stick goes away.

272
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: And she's still. We didn't get that shot.

273
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: We never got that shot in the postgame, Like, how

274
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: are you not following her skating to her teammates getting mobbed,

275
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Like all of that just never happened. Like you've had

276
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: all these other big moments and they've captured and they've

277
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: done a fantastic job, and we've chronicled them along the

278
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: way throughout the Olympics. But here in this gold medal

279
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: match that you come from behind to beat Canada, your rival,

280
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: we don't get that immediacy. And good for the fans,

281
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: they got their moment, they were there, get them their love.

282
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: Whatever John pal Morosi might have been in the middle

283
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: of that, I don't know, But we didn't get the

284
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: actual participants celebration properly, you know, And that's part. We

285
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: talked about it last night, the figure skating on opposite

286
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: women's hockey, which is a stupid decision because you want

287
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: people able to watch both of them. I wonder what

288
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: the because I really think there's a disconnect between the

289
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: popularity of the women's hockey in the Olympics here in

290
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: the United States versus what it is actually in Italy,

291
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: because I think there's a big disconnect for the fact that, hey,

292
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: we're putting that game on opposite the figure skating because

293
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: that's not as demanding of a ticket is as a

294
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: figure skating is. But you know, television is where you

295
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: make your money on this, and I wonder, you know

296
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: what kind of television you know, because you don't have

297
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: endless amounts of cameras, endless amount of things. How much

298
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: production level did you have at that game compared to

299
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: what you had at the figure skating, right, because you

300
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: have to make at your team, right, Like, I don't know, right,

301
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: did you did you not have a couple of cameras

302
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: that you thought you'd ad Did you again, did you

303
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: not have your best director?

304
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: Do you know?

305
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: Like that's another thing about it, because I really do,

306
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: I really do believe there's a disconnect between what the

307
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: hockey impact was in Italy and what it is for

308
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: everybody else in the world watching, because it's like sometimes

309
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: you get caught in a bubble and it's like, yeah,

310
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, no understand hey outside it just all

311
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: anybody cares about. Everybody is watching this the top fifteen

312
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: topics on social media or all this women's hockey game, right,

313
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: and you have plenty of time. And I just can't

314
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: get over how the television experience that fail at the end,

315
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: especially when you look at what they were able to

316
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: do for the men's game the other day. And I mean,

317
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: luckily we got the photo. Frostburg sent it to me,

318
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: a picture of the year, the photo of Keller right

319
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: after the goal and she's raising it from behind and

320
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: she's raising her stick and the Canadian defender is laying

321
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: on the ice prone and the goalie's looking back to

322
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: see the puck behind her like that is an incredible

323
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: foot That's the best sports photo of the year that

324
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna probably get. I mean, I'm glad we had that,

325
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: but wow, I mean that the end of that could

326
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: have been so much better. I don't understand how they

363
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: trying to uh allay the fears of Bears fans and

364
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: me laughing at you and I did.

365
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: I think you're fine.

366
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why. Don't you think if

367
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: the Bears moved to northwest Indiana?

368
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: How is that?

369
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: How?

370
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: How does that affect everybody? How does it affect everybody? Yeah,

371
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: it's a little.

372
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: Ambassing's a psychological thing. No, it's not embarrassing for the Bears.

373
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna be counting the money that can getting. They're

374
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna start earning. It's as owners of the land, because

375
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: when you own the land, Okay, how many people care

376
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: about that? Nobody the Bears, it's not. But that's I mean,

377
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: the owners will be just fine. They don't have to care.

378
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: Fans aren't gonna care either. They will why they're not

379
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: gonna care if they feel shamed for you take the

380
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: sea off the side of the helmet and make them

381
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: wear an eye. Ye okay, then the fans are gonna

382
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: get melt. But tall the scheme away and make it

383
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: the they're the Bears hoosiers like. That's the upset for.

384
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: A lot of people.

385
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: This now becomes the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

386
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 2: Kind of situation. And again people don't care.

387
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: No, you're in another state, at least Kansas City, you

388
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: could say, hy, you never knew which part we were

389
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: in anyway, the Jets and Giants stinking outside a different city,

390
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, a completely different state. It doesn't matter.

391
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: This is this is an overblown story. I get that

392
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: inn in Chicago. Oh, but it's a local polity.

393
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: But that's it. But that's the thing.

394
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter to the rest of the NFL fans

395
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: or game player whatever else.

396
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: It matters to the people, and I'm a man of

397
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: the people. I don't eve think it matters to the people.

398
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: I think it does. You think that I think it.

399
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: People are not gonna go to games. I'm not going

400
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: to watch games on TV. Well, they did announce a

401
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: fifteen percent hike of tickets just earlier this week.

402
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: Good Year had a pretty good year.

403
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been raising them when they stunk so well,

404
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: then they came back over with that we're good now,

405
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: so you're gonna pay more. Now we're gonna announce it.

406
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: But you can't argue with us in previous years we're

407
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: gonna raise it. You could Arguel have said, hey, you're

408
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: in incompetent and now I'm paying for you to chase

409
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: your mistakes. Wait, now you're good and you're still charging

410
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: me on top?

411
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: What do you got, Frostberg?

412
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say the jetsting's so bad that

413
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: that smell does go to several states. It gets into

414
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: the Tri state area, yeah, Connecticut, Tri States, It goes

415
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: all the way to Maryland, gets up doll It gets

416
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: up to Rhode Island too. Oh sure, sure, yeah, for

417
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: Maine to San Diego. Talking jet snake Uh, so again,

418
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: I think it's fine. This story had made so much

419
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: fire and brimstone on this Sam. I'm like, everything is

420
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. The Bears are gonna be fine. Maybe yeah,

421
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 1: the fall will come and the games will be played.

422
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be several years. But which right now, it's

423
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: fostering in politicans. Would you be upset if they replaced

424
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson with kurtz Signetti? I don't think you would.

425
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: I think that I think I'd have better.

426
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: Well, no, the press conferences would be just as fire.

427
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: And how good would Chipotle be? Well, it'd be good.

428
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: Google me.

429
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: It forced them to have multiple locations inside the stadium,

430
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: and I just love it now, Like it's basically Indiana

431
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: has discovered football, right, like, yeah, but we've had the

432
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: culture a long time, doesn't matter. Look at this, it's

433
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: great now, look at the Indiana Hoosiers won the national championship.

434
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: We've discovered football. Let's get another team. Yeah, let's get

435
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: like four teams. Let's not stop, let's get more teams.

436
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. And they had those years with the Colts. Remember

437
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison went out of his way to go to

438
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: body bag Tony Dungee. Let's get Now on what did

439
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: you get the Hall of Fame stuff wrong? Remember I

440
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: was on those teams when we were beating you every

441
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: year in the play Let's get the Bears, we'll get

442
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers, We'll get everybody from all the surrounding states

443
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: to be fantastic, like Indiana gathering them like infinity stones. No,

444
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: what they really realized was there was an opening and potentially.

445
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: For all lot of a lot of dollars.

446
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: And if you're a local politician up for re election

447
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: during what could be a gestation period here, you're gonna

448
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: get re elected because you may steal the Bears. Look

449
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: I went through when the Jets, we're gonna get their

450
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: own We're supposed to get their own stadium on the

451
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: West side of Manhattan. Didn't happen. They've been playing in Jersey.

452
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: You're talking of the number one market in the country,

453
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: and both teams are playing there and the world is spinning.

454
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: Now they stink, but like you know, but the world

455
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: is spinning. No, eventually it'll scab over and the wounds

456
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: will heal to a degree. But for folks that have

457
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: done that mile walk over to Soldier Field, it's a

458
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: very long walk on a cold day, and believe you

459
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: me go through that tunnel. We'll cut the cold walk out.

460
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: You just go right from your heat filled car to

461
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: a dome. Statement I have that they're all good. It's

462
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: just absolutely insane. Oh look, when you don't want to

463
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: be the renter, you want to own the property. So

464
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: we have more speaking of renting and owning property. The

465
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: NBA has decided to finally address tanking, realizing that it's

466
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: not going anywhere that we can't just say, yeah, tanking,

467
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: it's a story.

468
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: Let's move on. The games are starting again. You had Suns.

469
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: Owner Matt Eshba today put out a big statement saying,

470
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: tankings for losers, tankings for losers. Man smokings for losers.

471
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: Smell only losers smoking drink, right, Like that's you're expecting

472
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: from the seventies, one of those PSA's tankings for losers. Okay, well,

473
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: but the NBA understands that this is the number one

474
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: problem they are facing. It is not going anywhere. Teams

475
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: are now taking fines. The NBA is giving them and saying, yeah,

476
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: we don't care. We're still sitting our guys.

477
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 2: Right. The PACER's got fined one hundred grand. What they

478
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: do tonight.

479
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody's out. We're not playing. We're only playing with

480
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: three guys on the court. It's Gene Hackman from Hoosiers.

481
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: My team is on the floor coaching to fifth one

482
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We don't have any But finally, after a

483
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: big meeting today, the NBA is going to combat tanking

484
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: with what would be these many ideas. This is something

485
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: that ESPN reported earlier today. There are concepts that have

486
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: been discussed to curb tanking, right, so let's go through

487
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: them and see how concepts. I love this that you've

488
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: got to have a summit. How much brain power in there?

489
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: How many billable hours to come up with the well

490
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: the rules for combating tanking. Let's go and there's like

491
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: seven or eight things. So I love how confusing they're

492
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: making it good.

493
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: That's just it.

494
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, the NBA is clearly not, clearly not ready to

495
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: handle They couldn't handle tanking for the last ten years

496
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: and Adam Silver wants to do nothing. How are they

497
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: going to handle it now? Oh we got twenty five ideas.

498
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: Oh that's great, this is gonna work. First round draft

499
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: picks can be protected only for top four or top

500
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: fourteen plus selections.

501
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: Who cares? Who cares?

502
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: Oh it's a top eight protected, top top four protected. Okay,

503
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: who cares? I mean really, that's like, yeah, okay, that's

504
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: not going to stop a team from tank.

505
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 2: To stop that done.

506
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: Lottery odds freeze at the trade deadline or a later date. Okay,

507
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: well there's twenty eight games left. I don't know how

508
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: much later you want to freeze the trade deadline, but

509
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: I like that one, freezing the odds of the trade

510
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: deadline because then, okay, it doesn't it doesn't hurt you

511
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: to play better players down the stretch, which now is

512
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: when the NBA is really gonna combat tanking, because teams

513
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: that are out of it after the deadline have no

514
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: impetus to play anybody. So I kind of like that

515
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna freeze the odds of the trade deadline.

516
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 2: Oh okay.

517
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: Now the back part of this is that, oh, well,

518
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: if we think we stake, we're just gonna tank earlier

519
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: so we can get to the trade deadline being the

520
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: worst team. So while this this is I'm okay with this,

521
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: this is not something that's going to solve the problem. Well,

522
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: but that's the it's the hold hold Okay, go at

523
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: my signal unleash hell thing because you go into a season,

524
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: you know if you're any good like look not hey,

525
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: we could be a ninth or play tenth place team

526
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: that comes gets sussed out as you start going. But

527
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: you know you're not combetitive before the ball tip off

528
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: of a season. So that's that's not compating everything what

529
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: I started game twenty instead of game ten, just to

530
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: make it look better for a little while longer, come on,

531
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: no longer allowing a team to pick in the top

532
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: four for consecutive years. And also you can't pick in

533
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: the top four the year after you made the conference finals.

534
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: So if you have a draft pick from somebody, hey,

535
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: and you made the conference finals, you own a pick

536
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: from a worst team. You can't pick in the top

537
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: four if you make the conference finals. That's stupid, Like,

538
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: that's that back end one to me is insane because

539
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: both of the last ones are stupid. Well, but I'll

540
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: start with the back end. You can you can come

541
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: back and pick up the first part of that. It's like,

542
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: so I get penalized because my team was good and

543
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: made a good trade with the team that stinks, You're

544
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: gonna penalize me to where I can't be better than fifth.

545
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: That's insane. Yeah, can't pick in the top four consecutive years.

546
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: What if the guy we picked in the top four

547
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: stinks because guys gets hurt, guys don't come into the

548
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: league ready to play. What if that happens and we

549
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: still stink? Nope, can't be a top four thing. But

550
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: so we're still gonna stink even longer because you're not

551
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: letting us pick in the top four. Well, think about

552
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: it for this coming year and maybe some of those

553
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: going forward. We're looking at projected drafts. They're all eighteen

554
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 1: year old kids or nineteen year old kids that are

555
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: gonna get drafted. The almost the entire lottery right now

556
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 1: is projected to be the guys that are gonna leave

557
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: after their freshman year. Lottery odds allocated based on two

558
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: year records. So what you're doing there is, Oh, we're

559
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna entice you to tank for two full years because

560
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: we gotta keep tanking because we need a two year record. Now,

561
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: like that's not gonna work either. Well, doesn't that counteract

562
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: everything else you were just talking? I know, I know, right,

563
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: it's like you gotta do it for two years like, wait,

564
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: you picked in the top four last year.

565
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 2: You can't do that.

566
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: Finally, two ideas that I really like, Okay, well compared

567
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: to the rest of them, that really doesn't look that

568
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: ain't saying as I As I said earlier this week,

569
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: this isn't exactly a page out of Dale Carnegie Uh

570
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: lottery extended to include all playing teams.

571
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: All right now.

572
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: I kind of dig that because hey, we can still

573
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: be in the lottery if we're in the play. And

574
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: so those teams that are sort of on the periphery

575
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: that decide to tank, well, we might not need We're

576
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: not gonna get the ping pong balls anyway, So why

577
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: not go for it and try to make the top ten,

578
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: try to make seven through ten and go play so

579
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: that I like, that's gonna help those those two or

580
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: three teams at the bottom of the conference that are

581
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: around ten, eleven, twelve, to say, hey, no reason we

582
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: should tank. We we're gonna have the same odds anyway. Basically,

583
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: what is it one ping pong ball but two let's

584
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: just let we can try to make it so maybe

585
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: we don't actually tank. Is this kind of flipping off

586
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban for one of the last years he ran

587
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: the Mavericks. Remember when they went out and played nobody. Yeah,

588
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: you gotta keep the draft.

589
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

590
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: Now the last one flatten odds for all lottery teams. Okay,

591
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: that's that one. I like that one.

592
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 2: I like.

593
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: But and why these last two I think will help

594
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. However, what you are what you still

595
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: have not addressed with the NBA is that if a

596
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: team thinks they stink nothing that I have just said.

597
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: None of these ideas are gonna stop a team from tanking.

598
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: None of this is about penalties if you wind up tanking,

599
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: and that's the issue. This is just, hey, we're gonna

600
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: put some rules into place. No, no, it's not about

601
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: the rules. It's about teams tanking. It's about teams absolutely

602
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: saying we're not gonna play to win and so okay,

603
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: well that's wrong, and they're finding teams for tanking. Now

604
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: you need to put preventative measures in if you want

605
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: to stop teams from tanking.

606
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: That's what you have to do.

607
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: And if you think you're ten and tank's gotta be

608
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: something that's policed all the time. That's why Rick Buker's

609
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: idea that he brought us last week of his idea

610
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: of relegation money wise, where if you're a tanking team, well,

611
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: guess what what you share revenue wise money wise isn't

612
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: gonna be what everybody else gets. So if you penalize

613
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: a team in the pocketbook and all of a sudden,

614
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: well are our shared this year is half what it

615
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: normally is because we tanked? How many teams are gonna

616
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: try to tank after that? Because if you're talking about

617
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: the bottom line, and a bottom line for many owners

618
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: is money. It's not about winning, it's about how much

619
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: do we make you're able to keep this business going.

620
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: You need to put preventative measures in that are penalties,

621
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: because it's kind of the same thing. It's kind of

622
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: the same philosophy of Let's say you want your son

623
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: or daughter to do well on a test, and if

624
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: you know you want them to, you know that they're

625
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: going out all the time and they're not putting enough

626
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,239
Speaker 1: studying in not enough time into study. How do you

627
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: get their attention about doing well on test? Do you say, hey,

628
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: if you don't do well on this test, you know

629
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: where you're gonna have to study a little bit more.

630
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to do this. You have to do

631
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: or is the best thing to say? You tank this

632
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: test because you've been out all week. Guess what, you're

633
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: grounded for a month and a half. Right, Like, I'm

634
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: a big I'm a big believer, and sometimes that that

635
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: punitive penalties work, not in every situation and not blanketly

636
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: across the board, but something where hey, hey, if you

637
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: don't do things right, there's gonna be penalties against you.

638
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: Not just oh you don't get to do this, or

639
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: you don't get to have a draft pick here, or

640
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: you have to wait a year for a draft pick.

641
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: No punitive damages something, something that's money wise, that hurts you.

642
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: That's what's gonna stop people from tanking. And the NBA

643
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: doesn't get that because Adam Silver and company don't want

644
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: to be so combative. Oh, we don't want to upset anybody,

645
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: because again, Adam Silver wants to do nothing. So all

646
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: these ideas are, hey, how about we do it in

647
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: a nice way, dude. Teams are thumbing their nose at

648
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: you mean, the Pacers stuck their middle finger up at

649
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: you with what they were putting out for their their

650
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: health status, for their players, for coming back from the

651
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: break after you find them one hundred thousand dollars. But

652
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: you're the commissioner. Be strong, come out and say this

653
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: is what we're doing. And if you tank, you are

654
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna find yourself on the wrong side of me. That's

655
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: what David Stern.

656
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: Would do, That's what a lot of other commissioners will.

657
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: But you go down to it, right the jazz, what

658
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: was it in five hundred thousand dollars?

659
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 2: Did you think about it?

660
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: No? Cast an answer, think about putting that guy back in?

661
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: Not not really Now eventually he one of those guys

662
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: actually did get shut down Jackson for the year and

663
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: away you go.

664
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: But that's where you're at in the.

665
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: Process, right I spare the rod, spoil the child's kind

666
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: of thing, discipline, and certainly as a nation, there are

667
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: moments where like, that's all that guy got for that

668
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: woman got for that infraction, or the amount of hey,

669
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: you can steal up to nine hundred dollars and nobody

670
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: does anything and we just kind of shrug our shoulders

671
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: and move out. There's plenty of spots where we've been weak,

672
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: and the NBA in this is just an following suit

673
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: to this point. It's like, here's yeah, that'll teach them.

674
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: How many times have players done something gotten themselves suspended

675
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: from ultimate game?

676
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 2: What was the penalty? Yeah, game check? Okay, fine?

677
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 1: Or hey they did something in game, what did they

678
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: get twenty five grant?

679
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: It's like the guy made eight hundred grand for the game.

680
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: He didn't care. They'll do it again tomorrow. So you've

681
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: got to make it punitive.

682
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: And certainly the wallet is the common denominator because you

683
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: have you know, the thing you're trying to combat is

684
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: what most of these teams don't care whether they win

685
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: or because is going to come through if you if you,

686
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: if you take money away from them, if you take

687
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: those draft picks away from them, then they're not gonna tank.

688
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: Like it's it's it's gotta be beautifully and it comes to, Okay,

689
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: these draft picks you want so much if you lose them,

690
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: oh okay, Like that's what I would say. Hey, if

691
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: you tank this test on Friday. On Friday, you're not

692
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: going to Jimmy's party on Saturday. What do you mean, No,

693
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: You're sitting next to me all night. We're gonna watch

694
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: old movies, black and white movies from the forties where

695
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: you don't even care. You're gonna fall asleep. You're not

696
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: going to Jimmy. I want to go to Jimmy's party.

697
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: Guess what you're not going right? Like? You need you

698
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: need that that, you need attention getting stuff, and it's

699
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: money and it's losing the draft picks you're tanking for.

700
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: That'll do it. You got a problem with a guy

701
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: named Jimmy. You need take care of tim.

702
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: Not to find out what's trending in the wide world

703
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: esports from someone who is absolutely pro tanking.

704
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: Because she's a Clippers fan.

705
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: Wow, I feel like I deserve an award because I

706
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: was about to say some bad words to you and

707
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 3: I held it in.

708
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 5: So no, you all, I don't like tanking. What would

709
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 5: I like tanking? Sucking as a Clipper is different than tanking.

710
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 5: There's a difference for the we don't.

711
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, we haven't. We haven't tried to tank in the

712
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 6: last couple of years.

713
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: We've just sucked.

714
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 6: What for h we're gonna talk. You want to talk

715
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 6: about the nineties or.

716
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: When you say last couple of years, you're going back

717
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: to the late seventies, far back?

718
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 6: You go, No, I'm just sitting in the bomb Steve

719
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 6: Bomber era.

720
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: You could go back before you were born, and you

721
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: still wouldn't go.

722
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: Back far enough.

723
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 6: I understand. But in the Steve Balmer era, we're not

724
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 6: trying to tank. We're not trying to tank.

725
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: We just think because we stink, we're not trying.

726
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 3: Because James Harden can't play in Game five of the playoffs,

727
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

728
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: That's his good and I love the Beard.

729
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 6: He's killing it over in Cleveland.

730
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: Don't get me.

731
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:58,800

Speaker 1: school coach and play quarterback in the NFL.

784
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,880

00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: You can wear gloves and play quarterback in the NFL.

786
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,000

787
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 6: That's part E. Okay, what is part A and B

00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 6: about it?

789
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,200

Speaker 2: All nils come to high school.

793
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 3: He shouldn't have been fired, but what he did is

794
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,360

00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,439

Speaker 2: About the whole thing? No, man, I want the whole thing.

829
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: Eh, George is too stupid to pull that off. You

830
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: got that right? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

831
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: It means whatever you want.

832
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: A story first brought to us by Justin Frossberg a

833
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Now gaining a lot of momentum,

834
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: the Athletic having a report today that the Lakers in

835
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: the off season will go all in to go get Yannis,

836
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: who ostensibly then will be okay with being traded by

837
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: the Bucks. Did you verify that the text wasn't just

838
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: a cut and pace inserting Giannis's name versus all the

839
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: other wish list would be Lakers.

840
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 2: In the past.

841
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm gonna send you in every month, You're gonna

842
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: put a different name in it. They're gonna go all

843
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 1: out to get Giannis, They're gonna all out to get KD.

844
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna go all out to get Steph Curry, different

845
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:12,959
Speaker 1: names all the time.

846
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 2: Uh, They're gonna go out to.

847
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: And though saying, and here's the thing, the Lakers absolutely

848
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 1: have to do this, but not for why you think now?

849
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: The Lakers are always a bold team, right, They always

850
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: have made bold moves for big generational players, right, whether

851
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: it's going to get Kreem Abdul Jabbar, the drafting of

852
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson, getting Shaquillo Neeland free agency, making the trade

853
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: for pau Gasol Bryant, right exactly. Yeah, Jerry Wett's just say, hey,

854
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: guess what here, you take Vati and we're gonna take Kobe. Well,

855
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: don't worry we We'll give Lattia lifetimes a pack of cigarettes.

856
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: It's fine.

857
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: Uh, they have this ways app They have always taken

858
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: big swings to go get generational players. They did it

859
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: for Lebron a few years ago. Now it's time for

860
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: another one, and Yannis will be the one that they

861
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: go after. But it's not just because Giannis will make

862
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: them better. Jannis will know you think about the two

863
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: man game with him and Luca, how great it will be. Obviously,

864
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: there's so many reasons I can give you pro Jannis

865
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: to go again. Why wouldn't you? But the bigger reason

866
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: is that the Lakers are seeing, Hey, Luca isn't all

867
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: what he's cracked up to be. Luca is terrific, but

868
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: this is another time he's having trouble staying on the floor.

869
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: He's not someone that's been the most durable of guys

870
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: through a season. And how many times we have to

871
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: see a story, Oh he's watching his weight, he's watching

872
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: his body. They need to go out and get somebody,

873
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: because hey, what if the person we go out and

874
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: get turns into our number one? Because Luca has trouble

875
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: staying in the lineup when you're in the mid twenties,

876
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: you have trouble staying in the lineup. Guess what, you

877
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: don't suddenly hit that fountain of health when you're twenty

878
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: seven twenty eight years old. So that's more of a

879
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 1: reason why they should go get him, is because hey,

880
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, Luca isn't the most sturdy of guys, and

881
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: you need to go get a guy that can carry

882
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: the team if he has to. Yeah, the better, more

883
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: accomplished version of Zion Williamson is really where we're at,

884
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: where every year it's all right, how many games are

885
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: we gonna play before he's hurt or before he's got

886
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: to limit his minutes or all of that, and you're

887
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 1: wondering what that window is, you know, you talk about

888
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 1: your Nick's window and you're hanging on for dear life.

889
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: It's like with Luka doncons.

890
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: What is it three to five years physically based on

891
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: where he's at and I and that's even if he

892
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: keeps the weight off, like just physically he's beating up

893
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: his body to this point that I'm not convinced. It's

894
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: like Mike Trout's like he might have a great run

895
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: every once in a while, and at some point he's

896
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: gonna miss a chunk of a season, and is that

897
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: gonna be in April or is it gonna.

898
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 2: Be earlier in the season.

899
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 1: You're hoping it's early and then he's back for the playoffs,

900
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: but you don't know, So how do you head your bets?

901
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: Go get Yannis? Ok Tech, you're seeing that, Oh, brothers.

902
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a little bit to Luca that we need

903
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: to work around here, a little bit exit out about

904
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: a Fresco exit swollen dump. This is the saddest song

905
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: adver tise shirt. Never play this on a song.

906
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: Playing You're so sad Now the Lakers win everything.

907
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: Call your people, love them, Tell them you love them.

908
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we get back

909
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 2: Into the biggest story of the day,
