Speaker 2: of a betting scandal? I don't know. We're gonna talk

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,840

Speaker 2: made it seventy two days. We're proud of you. Not

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: more word salad speeches though. Can you get a refund

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: on that counseling you were gonna get? I don't know.

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: We'll get to all that too, but again we haven't

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 2: fun yet. Look, we're gonna get to all this stuff tonight.

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: We're in the middle of March madness. We're down to

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: the Elite eight. We raced to the final four this

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: week and Major League Baseball is back. We've already had

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: a bench clearing brawl, very very eventful NFL owners meetings

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 2: this week, big takeaways, rule changes, and of course the

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: Midnight Hour your calls been spectacular. Eight seven, seven, niney

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 2: nine one Fox. We're gonna dive in with the Caitlin

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: Clark situation. Five million bucks. She's been offered to play

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: in the Big Three. Should she do it? Is it

34
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: a gimmick? Does it diminish her future career in the

35
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: w NBA? Does it show that maybe they don't really

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: take her seriously? She's a five million dollar side show.

37
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: But it's five million bucks. We'll get into that. And

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: of course you heard the o'connie otani be nice if

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: I could say his name right, Otani press conference? Who

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: want to call it? That didn't want to take questions,

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: That just reduced it to theater. We'll get your thoughts

42
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: in the men at hour. But we want to have

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: a little fun. You know. See, baseball is fun. Even

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: teams that don't win are fun. Just once, I gotta

45
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: tell her once, I'd like to see my buddy Jason

46
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: Smith be allowed to be dancing in the aisles. Come on,

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: Mets one time. See when the Mets win, it's fun.

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: How about the sixty nine ments, the amazing Mets came

49
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: back and did it to get into seventy three. Then

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: then of course the eighty six ments with Daryl Strawberry.

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: You don't I play with Dryl Strawberry. It's a true story. Yeah,

52
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: I did that whole team. I mean they made a

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: documentary about them. Even when the Mets weren't good, they

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: were fun. You don't believe me. Oh, let's take a

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: little trip back in history, a little fun. The nineteen

56
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: sixty two Mets. They were even fun in spring training.

57
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: Spring training is fun. Hope Spring's eternal. He'll one year.

58
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: A manager of the Pirates named Danny Mirtzal gave this

59
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: gruff speech and said, I'm the manager, you're nothing. Dick Stewart,

60
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: Doctor strange Glove wasn't listening, so he looked at him

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 2: and says, are you paying attention, Dick? He says yeah,

62
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: He goes, What did I say? He goes, and I

63
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: guess you just said you're the manager of nothing. Onward

64
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: than upward. The nineteen sixty two Mets, the infamous sixty

65
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: two Mets, even they were fun. They were managed by

66
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: Casey Stengel, And yes, they managed to go forty and

67
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty in their inaugural season. It's forty

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: wins and one hundred and twenty losses, or as Marv

69
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: Alpert would say, that's up one hundred and twenty down.

70
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: But they did it with a real panache. They did

71
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: it with a real flare. It'll never be duplicated. Here's

72
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: one small example. They had a shortstop named Eliot Chircone,

73
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: a dazzling fielder like Ozzie Smith typefielder who really had

74
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: such an incredible lack of awareness when it came to

75
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: playing baseball that he dazzled people with raw efficiency on

76
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: a daily basis. It's almost too absurd. To believe, but

77
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: frankly it's true. Here's an example, and yes, this is

78
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: a true story. Whenever a pop fly would float into

79
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: left center field, Chircohone would pursue it with a vengeance.

80
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: He wanted every ball, and often he would crash into

81
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: the centerfielder, Jim Hickman. He would knock him to the ground,

82
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: and of course that would inevitably cause him to drop

83
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: the ball. Now this happened more than once. This really

84
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: happened in spring training during drills. Finally, Himin's teammate Joe

85
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: Christopher suggested that Hickman yell out yolo tango, Yolo tango,

86
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: since well, Chacon didn't speak English, and so Joe could

87
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: be saying I got it, I got it all day long,

88
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: but Chracone didn't speak English. Clearly I got it. Wasn't working.

89
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: Well.

90
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: Hickman decided to take Joe Christopher's suggestion. The next time

91
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: he would get a fly ball, he would yell out

92
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: yolo tango. Sure enough, in a spring training game two

93
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: days later, right on cue, a flyball drifts into short

94
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: center field and Hickman camps under it. Yolo tango, Yolo tango.

95
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: You could hear it all the way to Staten Island,

96
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: and yes, Eliot Chacone peeled away. He understood what that meant,

97
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: which gave Hickman space to feel the popfly, and just

98
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: as it reached his glove, Hickman was slammed to the

99
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: turf by the Mets left fielder Frank Thomas, who conveniently

100
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 2: enough didn't speak Spanish. Ah the Lovable Mets, the nineteen

101
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: sixty two New York Mets. Of course, Stengo was fired

102
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: three years later around the seventieth birthday, after the general manager,

103
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: George Weiss simply felt Stengel was quote too old to

104
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: manage the team, to which Stengle Deadpand at that point

105
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: I vowed I would never make the mistake of turning

106
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: seventy again. And as we say almost every week when

107
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: it comes to the world of sports, yes it's the

108
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 2: greatest reality show going. You can script everything but the ending.

109
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: So are we having fun yet? And by the way,

110
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 2: now that Major League Baseball is underway, you know games

111
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: were a lot faster in year one because of the

112
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: pitch clock, but in year two, believe it or not,

113
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: there are some people that are begging for them to

114
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: be even shorter. See the average nine in n in game

115
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: last year took two hours in thirty nine minutes. That's

116
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: twenty four minutes shorter than in twenty twenty two, in

117
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: the shortest in thirty nine years. But games were seven

118
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: minutes longer in September than in April, and Major League

119
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: Baseball thinks had found a way to regain some of

120
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 2: that time. So they've got actually changes that have flown

121
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 2: under the radar in twenty twenty four or these are

122
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: the following changes to project it to cut out about

123
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: five more minutes from the average game time this season,

124
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: which begins in Earnest. Now you know, five more minutes

125
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: so you can order your Phila Mignon at Yankee Stadium?

126
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Buy me some peanuts and filet mignon?

127
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? If you go to a game

128
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: with me and order a Fila Mignyon, you get a

129
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: knuckle sandwich. These are the changes in twenty twenty four.

130
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,559
Speaker 2: The following changes again projected to cut about five minutes

131
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: from the game, so you can buy a flame mignon.

132
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: Short pitchclock the clock will remain fifteen seconds where the

133
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: base is empty, but early rede it will it will

134
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,559
Speaker 2: reduce from twenty to eighteen seconds with runners on base.

135
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: No more stalling. The pitch clock's now going to be

136
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: start after a dead ball when the pitcher gets the ball,

137
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: not when he tows the rubber. That avoids instances of

138
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: circling around the mound to stall and you know, take

139
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: time for rest or whatever. And also finally, fewer amounts visits.

140
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: Teams will visit them mount four times per game with

141
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: their pitchers, down from five trips twenty twenty three. They

142
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: pay people to think these things up. Lollie, we suck again, nicely,

143
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: time mark they have it. Hey, baseball is back. Well man,

Speaker 2: coming you live from the taraat dot Com Studios here

182
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. Just getting started. We'll take you up

183
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: to two am Pacific, five am Eastern. We are down

184
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: to the alitiate. The elitiate is set number one overall seed.

185
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: Yukon will face Illinois in the East Regional Clemson and

186
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: Alabama the Lockhorns in the West. After both Clemson well

187
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: the Tigers and the Crimson tied. I thought there were

188
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: football schools any rate. They both knocked off higher seeds.

189
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: Good bye Arizona once again and uh and North Carolina ouch,

190
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: they go down and in the South it will be

191
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: a rematch of the ACC quarterfinal between North Carolina State

192
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: and Duke. Give it up to the wolf Pack. They

193
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: knocked off number two seed Marquette in pretty impressive fashion. Meanwhile, Duke,

194
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: they defeated top seed Houston. Of course, we'll never know

195
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: what would have happened had Jamal shed not gone down

196
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: with an ankle injury in the first half. We'll never know.

197
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean Duke wouldn't have won, but again, we'll

198
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: never know, and that'll be the question people will ask.

199
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: Three years ago, Duke got to the Final four, then

200
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: they got to Delete eight. Last year they got knocked

201
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: out by Miami into Sweet sixteen, and once again they're

202
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: losing to Sweet sixteen to Duke. That leaves the Midwest

203
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: top seed. Purdue had no trouble dismantling and Zaga Boilermakers.

204
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: They'll face Tennessee and I got a funny feeling Tennessee's athleticism.

205
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: He's gonna bother Purdue and Rick Barnes might get to

206
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 2: the Final four. I got it. I like that out

207
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: of Tennessee in that game. Just saying, but what happened

208
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: these last couple of days raises some questions like, well,

209
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: Duke actually reached the Final four for the first time

210
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: under John Schwern. It's only just what third year I

211
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: think they're going to. North Carolina State is obviously currently

212
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: not the crazy inconsistent team they were during the regular season.

213
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: They're playing very well, but Dude clearly has the edge

214
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: and talent and depth. And the Blue Devils, I think

215
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: they beat in C State, and I think in C

216
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: State's already had an improbable run. I can't see them

217
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: getting to the final four. Still got to play the game,

218
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: but that's the way I see it. Those are my thoughts.

219
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: By the way, what does it mean for Houston after

220
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: Duke b Houston? They won the Big Twelve regular season

221
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: championship their first season in the conference. They mowed through

222
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve, so they have a race that he

223
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: doubts about their ability to compete on the large stage.

224
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: But everybody had them pencil into the final four. Just

225
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: about so many people had them winning in or getting

226
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: into the final game. This is going to be a

227
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: bitter pill to swallow, and again people will wonder all

228
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: summer long what might have happened had Jamal shed not

229
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 2: gotten hurt in the first half. Back to n C State.

230
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: I think you do have to take them seriously. Their

231
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: one went away from the final four. I've always thought

232
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Kevin Keets is a pretty good coach. They were so

233
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: inconsistent during the regular season and that seems like ancient

234
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: history now. But if you'd mentioned to somebody in early

235
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: February n C State would be playing to get in

236
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: the final four, they might have had you drug tested.

237
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 2: But now they won eight games in a row and

238
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,479
Speaker 2: they've had to get you know, one of those situations

239
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: like Yukon back in twenty eleven where Yukon had to

240
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 2: win five games to win the Big East Tournament that

241
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: Kemba Walker and the end of winning the whole darn thing.

242
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 2: N C State's pretty well battle tested right now because

243
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: the loss in any of the last eight games and

244
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: they're done, they would they'd have gone home and by

245
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: the way along the way in that stretch. And you

246
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: know part of this was, of course, during the ACC

247
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: tournament they beat Duke North Carolina and now they've beaten Marquette.

248
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: So yes, you enter the tournament as an eleven seed.

249
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: But I don't think anybody will disrespect them right now.

250
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: Look at this is an improbable run. There forever will

251
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: be famous for their nineteen eighty three game when they

252
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: beat Houston in five. Islama Jama and Jimmy Valvano was

253
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: looking around, running around the court looking for somebody to Hug.

254
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: What does it mean for Marquette. Shaka Smart had that

255
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: trip to the Final four with VCU back in twenty eleven,

256
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: but man, that seems like a long time ago. And

257
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: they had a great season twenty seven wins, but it

258
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: was kind of an ugly ending. I think they had

259
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: designs in getting past the Sweet sixteen, but that's why

260
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: they call it March Madness. Give it out to Tennessee,

261
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: number two seed. They beat Creighton by seven points eighty

262
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: two seventy five, and I think I'm of the believe

263
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: Tennessee's athleticism is going to bother Perdue. I kind of

264
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: do expect to win his second consecutive Woulden award be

265
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: the first time a back to back player has done

266
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: that since Ralph Sampson did it forty years ago while

267
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: he played for Virginia. But the key is to get

268
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: to the final four. Would mean a lot. I think

269
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: for Rick Barnes, he has a chance to reach the

270
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: final four. He did it back. He got to the

271
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: final semi finals in two thousand and three when he

272
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: coached Texas, but they've had a lot of disappointments since

273
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: and Rick Barnes has become a bit of a punchline

274
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: around these parts. And so I would say that I

275
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: know that people are waiting for what somebody's got to give,

276
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: right Purdue or Tennessee. It's produce. Purdue's not been to

277
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: a Final force since nineteen eighty. I mean, they're legendary

278
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: coach Gene Katy, they got a he has a court

279
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: named after him at Purdue, and they never got to

280
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: the Final four under Gen Katy, even though Katie was

281
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: a great athlete, was even drafted, I think by the

282
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. But the point of the matter is is

283
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: that Purdue's never been to a Final four and bonnes

284
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: hasn't been to a final four. No, that's not true.

285
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: Purdue has not been to a Final four since nineteen

286
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: eighty Rick Barnes two thousand and three. So the truth

287
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: of the matter is Tennessee can beat Purdue, then not

288
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: only get the Phoenix, they'll have I think a lot

289
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: of confidence they can be pretty much any team in America.

290
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: Tennessee is way more athletic than you realize. They held Creighton,

291
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: a top ten offensive team, to forty three percent from

292
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: the floor on Friday Night's win. That's because they can

293
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: test everything that it will be a herculean effort to

294
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: beat the Boilermakers. But hey, if and now he's maybe

295
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: a Hallsale name Dalton connect, he might be the runner

296
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: up to Zach Yede in the Wooden Award. He's a

297
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: very prolific scorer. He can put up big numbers against

298
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: the Indy opponent, and he's got a defense in Tennessee.

299
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: So look, Creighton goes home. I know folks had designs

300
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: in them getting for other than they did. They've got

301
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: a pretty good trio. They're special, and you know this

302
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: is who they are. I didn't expect them to get

303
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: to be on this point. Back to Purdue. They beatn

304
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: Zaga by twelve. And sometimes you're a victim of your

305
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 2: own success. Sometimes you're a victim of your own past

306
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: or your failure. I couldn't put Purdue in my final

307
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: four because I just can't. And I like the way

308
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: they're coach, and I think Matt Painter is a very

309
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 2: good program builder, and he's got a good recruiting class

310
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: coming in next year. And if you watch this produced

311
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: team versus last year's Purdue team, you ask yourself, was

312
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: this the same team from last year? Nope, it's really not.

313
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: I realized they still build their offense around Zach Edy.

314
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: But if you watched Friday's game, the produce showed there's

315
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: a lot of ways they can put a hurt on

316
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: their opponents. Trey Kaufman Wren. You know, they fed him

317
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: the ball on multiple possessions and that sort of neutralized

318
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: Gonzaga's attempt to double lee Zach Edy to start of

319
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 2: the second half. Braden Smith, you leave him alone. He's

320
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: a great shooter, and by the way, he at fifteen assists.

321
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: And every time the Zags had to decide what Smith

322
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: was gonna do when he got the ball, they had

323
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: to guess because Fletcher Lawyer in space. He found space

324
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 2: around the court. Purdue, I think shot almost fifty cent

325
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: from behind the three point er Friday night. So look,

326
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: Zach Edy is the engine that makes that program go.

327
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: But Purdue's got a lot around him. They're different than

328
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: they were last year. They've got a collective of people,

329
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: they got a supporting cast that is starting to be

330
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: I believe the storyline in the tournament. I don't know, man.

331
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: I still I'm not going back on what I said.

332
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: I still think Tennessee gets him. But Purdue's extremely tough out.

333
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: Maybe the best game in the tournament took place Thursday night.

334
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: Not if you're a Carolina fan. I had Carolina winning

335
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: it all when they lived seventy five seventy I thought

336
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: they'd escaped. But no excuse, no excuse. Bama did what

337
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: they needed to do. Top credit to what Natoates did,

338
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: and frankly, I think wearing out Carolina a little bit.

339
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 2: It might have been the game of the tournament so far.

340
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: You really had to take a deep breath after the game.

341
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: You get the two most explosive offenses in the country

342
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: against each other. They combined for one hundred and seventy

343
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 2: six points. One of the teams shot forty percent from

344
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 2: behind the yard, the other had a ten point lean

345
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: only to give it up. And the pace of play

346
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: was an absolute track meet. It was a blur, and

347
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 2: I give Alabama and Natoates for dictating that pace credit.

348
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 2: I give them credit. In North Carolina, I always I

349
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: believe their defense would prevail. Obama just lost the game

350
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 2: to Kentucky less than a month ago. They gave up

351
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteen points. The name coming out of

352
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 2: that game, senior Grant Nelson of Alabama. Not only that

353
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: all scores with twenty four points at twenty five, or

354
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 2: checked that twelve rebounds, five really important block shots led

355
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: Alabama to a result that you'll call it an upset,

356
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: but maybe it wasn't an upset because when you take

357
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: out the top seed in the West and you're back

358
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: in the Elite eight for the first time in twenty years,

359
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: only the second time in school history, this becomes a

360
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: historic win. Natos is coaching a team which finished second

361
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: in the SEC and last year that was a team

362
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: that had thirty one wins and I thought had a

363
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: better shot going deeper in the tournament. But somehow this

364
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: team is now realized when it matters most, when the

365
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: heat gets hot and it's hard to breathe. They're looking

366
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: to be a team that has experience to match the

367
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: offensive firepower to play with anybody. I mean, Grant Nelson

368
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 2: went up against one of the best bigs in the

369
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: country in Amando Baycot. Huge disappointment from Carolina. I really

370
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: thought they'd win it this year. They led Kansas by

371
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 2: fifteen two years ago. They know it got away inside

372
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: the four walls in Carolina and Chapel Hill. It's been

373
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: eating at them. They went on a walk about in

374
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Carolina they had a down year. They

375
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: were to hangover, but I really believe Hubert Davis had

376
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: that team fired upsy and you let it go, you

377
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: got basically the same team get it back. They could

378
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: not hold their lead against Alabama because why at the

379
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: end of the day, you still got to put the

380
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: ball in the basket to win, and Alabama matched them

381
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: shot for shot when it managed, most mattered most. Finally,

382
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 2: the East Region, they might have to find a higher

383
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: league for Yukon. Give it up to Danny Hurley. They

384
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: beat San Diego State by thirty. Yukon has now won

385
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: eight straight game, nine straight games in the tournament in

386
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: the last two years, and covered all nine games. They're unstoppable.

387
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: They were unstoppable last year's tournament. Last year they won

388
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: all six games Yukon did by an average of twenty points.

389
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: That's the fourth largest average since the tournament expanded in

390
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five. So far, they've been even better. They've

391
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: won their first three games by a total of twenty

392
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: nine points. You know what, Yukon's only trailed for twenty

393
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: eight seconds. The entire tournament so far, they've led by

394
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: double digits in the second half for fifty nine out

395
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: of a possible sixty minutes. San Diego State played as

396
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: well as they could for an opening stretch. They were

397
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 2: down by eleven one nine minutes. The scariest part in

398
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 2: playing Yukon it seems like they just kind of hold

399
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: something in the tank and then when they really need

400
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: to put their foot on the gas down the stretch,

401
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 2: they do it and there's not a damn thing you

402
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 2: can do about it. That's true. By the way, Illinois,

403
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: I know some folks have some high hopes for Illinois

404
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: and they may have the best player in the country.

405
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: But we'll see. We'll see about that game. I don't

406
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 2: know coming up. Well, I want to bring in the crew.

407
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 2: I want to talk to Kevin, I want to talk

408
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: to Game. We'll talk to Mark two. I don't want

409
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: to spend a lot of time on this because we

410
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 2: told you in an earlier The callers told you too

411
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: in an earlier midnight hour a couple months ago. When

412
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: Draymond Green comes back, is he gonna want Motorga in?

413
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: It was almost unanimous. Man. It's seventy two days and

414
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: while this one listened to as egregious as past ones

415
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 2: when you get kicked out of the game less than

416
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: four minutes in and listen literally not figured literally. The

417
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: Golden State Organs were playing for the playoff lives. And

418
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 2: I still don't know the emotion. I don't know what

419
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: was going on in Steph Curry's face, but boy, he

420
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 2: looked like he was about to have a meltdown. So

421
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about Draymond Green coming up at first.

422
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to our guy, Kevin Figures with the laps.

423
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 6: All right, Bernie, you're talking about sweet sixteen hoops action

424
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 6: for the men. We also had women's action on Friday

425
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 6: night as well. We'll start with the guys, Tennessee picking

426
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 6: up an eighty two to seventy five victory over Craton

427
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 6: twenty four points there for Dalton connect Valls are the

428
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 6: two seed in the Midwest Region. We'll face top seed

429
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 6: at Purdue on Sunday in the Elite eight. After the

430
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 6: boiler Makers made light work of Gonzaga eighty to sixty

431
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 6: eight was the final score in that one. Kyle Pilapowski

432
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 6: with sixteen points for Duke. They defeated Houston fifty four

433
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 6: to fifty one. Cougar's lost star guard Jamal shed between

434
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 6: ankle injury in the first half. The Blue Devils will

435
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 6: take one upstart in C State, who defeated second seed

436
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 6: at Marquette sixty seven to fifty eight for the Ladies'

437
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 6: top overall seats. South Carolina remained unbeaten after beating Indiana

438
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 6: and to seventy nine to seventy five. In C State

439
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 6: defeated Stamford by ten wins for Texas and Oregon State

440
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 6: as well. In the NBA, Minnesota and Oklahoma City tie

441
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 6: for the first place in the Western Conference after victories

442
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 6: over Denver and Phoenix, respectively. The Spurs defeated the Knicks

443
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 6: in overtime desplite sixty one points from Jalen Brunts and

444
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 6: victon Norman Yama forty points and twenty rebounds for San Antonio.

445
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 7: Back to Bernie Freddo.

446
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Kevin. So Steph Curry was on the

447
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: brink of tears. I think I think that's what I saw.

448
00:24:54,480 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 2: He looked completely, you know, in an apoplectic state. After

449
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: Draymond Green was ejected less than four minutes into the

450
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: game against the Magic, the Warriors gave me into the

451
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: Magic On Wednesday, he got two technicals for yelling at

452
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 2: referee Rey Acosta, which resulted in an automatic ejection. He

453
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: lost his cool after actually a calls a Foles calling

454
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 2: on Andrew Wiggins and anyway, to make a long story longer,

455
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: here we are again, seventy two days later, after Draymond

456
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: Green gave his you know, forty ninth speech about how

457
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 2: he knows he's going to be better. There's even a

458
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 2: commercial now he's out. He had me fooled almost almost

459
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: and we know his history. I'm not gonna go back

460
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 2: over it, going back to twelve sixteen, but the truth

461
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: of the matter is that I don't know why the

462
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors continue to enable this. They're gonna have

463
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: to this year because they're gonna need him. I think

464
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 2: they do need him, But at this point, I'm really curious.

465
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: Kevin figures, what are your thoughts? Aren't you tired of

466
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: the same wash wash rinse repeat situation where Draymond loses it,

467
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: then apologize and gives a speech afterward. I mean your thoughts, yeah.

468
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 6: I mean eventually, we talked about this on the show

469
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 6: not too long ago when he first came back, and

470
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 6: Mitchell had his whole apology tour.

471
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 7: None of us thought of his genuine He's done this

472
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 7: in the past.

473
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 6: I'm really tired of his antics and ultimately burning what

474
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 6: it is when he's not the same player as he

475
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 6: was five or six years ago. This becomes less and

476
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,239
Speaker 6: less tolerable. And Steph Curry knows they're at the end

477
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 6: of their dynasty run. When it comes to the Golden State.

478
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 6: They're trying to make it into the postseason. Every single

479
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 6: game is vital and you just can't afford to have

480
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 6: these stupid mistakes. You don't have that margin for error

481
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 6: like you did before. Kevin Durant's not standing next to you.

482
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 6: They have to win every game they possibly can, and

483
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 6: he's an important piece to what they do. They don't

484
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 6: have the kind of depth, They're not as good as

485
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 6: they used to be, and it's just extremely frustrating.

486
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 7: When you have to continuously deal with this over and

487
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 7: over and over again.

488
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 6: So I would understand why Steph Curry will be so upset,

489
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 6: visibly upset, and it's like here we go again.

490
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 7: Situation.

491
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 6: It's like, why don't you shut that you know what

492
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 6: up so we can win a basketball game.

493
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 7: It I don't even play.

494
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 2: For the team.

495
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 6: I'm not a fan of the team, and I'm frustrated

496
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 6: by it. I just want the guy to play basketball.

497
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 6: Stop talking and just play. It's ridiculous.

498
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, the consensus is even the you know the uh

499
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: the Warriors have had it. They've had it with his Zach.

500
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: What does that mean? How does it manifest itself as

501
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: a practical matter. They continue to they're not going to

502
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: cut him. But here's the thing. I really believe it's

503
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: time for him to go. The Warriors are not going

504
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: to win a championship this year. They're not. I think

505
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: they may even be in trouble against the Lakers in

506
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 2: the playing round. So if you're if you're the Warriors, Kevin,

507
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: do you bring him back next year?

508
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 7: Well?

509
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 6: I believe you have to. Didn't you just sign him

510
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 6: to an extension? Was it last year or two years ago?

511
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 6: Which they did? Many of us questioned at the time.

512
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 6: Bernie was like, why would you do that? First of all,

513
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 6: it's getting up there in age. He isn't necessarily the

514
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 6: most highly skilled players to begin with. He's one of

515
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 6: those guys that once he loses the skill set that

516
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 6: he does have, he falls off a cliff precipitously, So

517
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 6: it really didn't make a whole lot of sense to

518
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 6: me that they signed him to an extension to begin with.

519
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 6: So if you're talking about cutting bait, you're either talking

520
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 6: about Joe Lacup in the ownership group saying we're just

521
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 6: gonna wave and stretch him, which I don't think they're

522
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 6: gonna do. I mean, that's gonna affect your salary cap

523
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 6: for the next five years if he decides to do that,

524
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 6: or you try to trade him for pennies on the dollar,

525
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 6: which I don't know if you do that either, unless

526
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 6: Burney you think he's that big of a headache and

527
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 6: that big of a distraction that you say, you know what,

528
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 6: we'll just dump them somewhere. Who says they want a

529
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 6: quote unquote tough, veteran presence guy will take a second

530
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 6: round pick just to clear his money off the books

531
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 6: and start from scratch.

532
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 7: I just don't know if they're willing to do that, though.

533
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 2: That's a good point. I mean, I don't think they're

534
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: getting out of the West this year. The West is

535
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: a gauntlet, and you've got former NBA players Chandler Parsons

536
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: weighing in. Steven A. Smith weighing in, Jay Williams weighing in,

537
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: the cats out of the bag. And so I think

538
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: I think you do what you have to do at

539
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: the end of this year to simply move on because

540
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 2: it's a distraction. I'll ask you again. I'll tell you

541
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: what before we go to Mark, we go to Ian,

542
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: I'll ask you you again, Kevin will turn back the

543
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 2: clock to or have been that hour back in January.

544
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: Do you expect Draymond Green to have at least one

545
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: more incident?

546
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: Oh?

547
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 6: Absolutely, think about it seconds of course, how could you not?

548
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 2: And after his latest speech again, my god, that's getting tiresome. Anyway, Okay,

549
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: let's go to you. Uh uh Ian, what are your thoughts? Uh?

550
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, did any of us really think that

551
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 8: he wasn't going to have another outbreak though? Because that's

552
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 8: I mean, and I'm actually asking that because people seem

553
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 8: to be surprised, like, oh, like, you know, you see

554
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 8: he did it again. But but I don't even know

555
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 8: if that was ever really in the cards. I don't

556
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 8: even know if Draymond was ever really claiming like no,

557
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 8: I'm never gonna get ejected ever again. Like I don't

558
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 8: think that's the issue here. I think it's was he

559
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 8: ever going to have another like, you know, kick a

560
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 8: guy in the growing issue again, another outbreak like that,

561
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 8: where like you know, it really warrants a suspension.

562
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 9: This is just you know, he got ejected, which but.

563
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: Think about it, think about it. It just has a context.

564
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: There are a handful of games left in the season.

565
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: Everyone matters. When you're kicked out four games in four

566
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 2: minutes into the game, go ahead.

567
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,719
Speaker 9: Yeah an one, No, no, no.

568
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 8: That that I that part of it is completely valid.

569
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 8: And the fact that Steph Curry was you know, damn

570
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 8: near in tears, that's you know, a whole thing too.

571
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 8: And I think Steph Curry is just one of the

572
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 8: most competitive people in sports. So when when you know,

573
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 8: some people were speculating, oh, there must be some you know,

574
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 8: hidden details behind it, like why is he so upset

575
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 8: over this?

576
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 7: It's no.

577
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 8: I think he just like you were saying, is the

578
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 8: fact that he wants to make it into this last

579
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 8: play in tournament seed and even if they're not playing

580
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 8: for a championship, it's just it means something to these

581
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 8: guys to play to the standard that the Warriors have

582
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 8: been linked to and associated with for so long.

583
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: Now, do you expect him to have another incident?

584
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I do, because it's who he is.

585
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 8: But I don't know if that's word like. That's always

586
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 8: been part of who he is, So I don't know

587
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 8: if that means that the Warriors should suddenly move on

588
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 8: from him, you know what I mean?

589
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: All Right, Well, he's been a fixture there a long

590
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: time and been a part of a lot of success.

591
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 9: But he's still a very good player.

592
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: He's effective in his role, and he seems to have

593
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: accepted his role. I'll grant you that, but he's not

594
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: anywhere near the type of impact player that he used

595
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: to be. And the West is better than it's been

596
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: in ten years, in my opinion. But your points duly noted.

597
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's one of the it's like the old

598
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: I'll draw a sort of an analogy when people want

599
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 2: to coach fired and then he sported, Okay, you can

600
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: replace him with So that's kind of the Sebtech said

601
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: what I think what you're saying, Mark Grahams, you got

602
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: the last word on this.

603
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 10: So you're telling me that he got thrown out of

604
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 10: a game four minutes into the game.

605
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 7: Is that what happened?

606
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 4: Today.

607
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: It happened Wednesday night. He had a double technical within

608
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: the first four minutes of the game.

609
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,719
Speaker 10: He was tossed, yes, And from what I'm hearing you say,

610
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 10: Steph Curry started being very upset about it.

611
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 2: He's almost visibly visibly.

612
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 10: So that just on the surface tells me it's like

613
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 10: a boiling pot. And they were just waiting for it

614
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 10: to boil over, and it did, and it was the

615
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 10: anticipation of oh no, not tonight, and so Steph started

616
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 10: to boil over because he knew it was going to come.

617
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 10: So it was just I think we all agreed last

618
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 10: time we talked about this, it's going to happen again.

619
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 7: So it has.

620
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 10: And then the team and the owners of the team

621
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 10: just have to stand around and look at each other like, well,

622
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 10: what are we going to do now? So it's it's

623
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 10: old and it's the same thing. And I don't think

624
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 10: he's gonna stop until Basketball finds a way to get

625
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 10: into his head saying you need to stop. But on

626
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 10: the other hand, he's a guy that appears to not

627
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 10: be able to stop himself from getting in these situations.

628
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: Million percent and allegedly has gotten counseling and given you

629
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 2: know more speeches than anybody I can remember, and seventy

630
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 2: two days go by and he you know his when

631
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: he emots, it's just it's even that much more egregious.

632
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: And again we know about the body of works. We

633
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 2: don't have to go back down that road, but it's

634
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: worth mentioning. I don't want to spend a lot of

635
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: time on it tonight because he's become a caricature. You know,

636
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: I know who I am, I know where I'm at,

637
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 2: and okay, just shut up, man, Really, we've had enough

638
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: and apparently your own teammate. One last thing about Steph Curry.

639
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: It's been it's seeped out these last few days that

640
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: some high level, unnamed NBA executives are in a quasi

641
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 2: fashion holding Steph Curry accountable for the lack of leadership

642
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: and not being able to rain Draymond Green in How

643
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: true that is, I don't know, but that those have

644
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 2: been whispered about in twos and threes, and perhaps that

645
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 2: is one of the reasons Steph Curry reacted the way

646
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: he did, because he's not perhaps seeing it as a

647
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: reflection on his inability to have some sort of control

648
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 2: over Draymond Green. Because of Curry's veteran leadership or lock thereof.

649
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 2: So I think this is a multi facetest situation, and

650
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: I think the Warriors are a reasonably talented team. But

651
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 2: you know, now, I'm gonna go over the I'm gonna

652
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 2: go over the how the people forget how the playing

653
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 2: thing works. It's going to start in sixteen days because

654
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: the seventh and eighth place teams they face each other

655
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: for the number seven seed. You win that you're in,

656
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: the loser of that will play. See. Then the ninth

657
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 2: and tenth place teams face each other in another game.

658
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: The loser of the seven eight game faces the nine

659
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 2: to ten winner for that last spot. So if the

660
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: if the Golden State Warriors find themselves in the ninth

661
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: or tenth spot, they're gonna have to win two games,

662
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: and they're gonna need Draymond to be honest. P's and

663
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 2: Q's coming up. We set up at midnight hour eight seven,

664
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine on Fox. We have two topics tonight. Well,

665
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 2: Tani emphatically denies any knowledge of his translators gambling. We'll

666
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: revisit his twelve million his twelve minute press conference on

667
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: Monday afternoon and Caitlin Clark had reportedly been offered five

668
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 2: million dollars from ice Cube to join the Big Three

669
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 2: Professional Basketball League. What should she do? I'm Bernie Fridder.

670
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: We're company line from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, tire

671
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 2: rack dot Com Studios. Keep it locked right here. You're

672
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: listening to the Bernie Friddo Show on Fox Sports Radio.

673
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

674
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: All right, back at the Bernie Friddle Show. Fox Sports Radio.

675
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: Come to live from the tirec dot Com studios here

676
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas ten minutes the midnight hour eight seven,

677
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: seven nine, and then on Fox two Topics tonight. Apparently

678
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark is not just getting interest from the w

679
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 2: NBA and the Olympic team. She apparently has received an

680
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 2: offer to join the Big Three, a three and three

681
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 2: professional basketball league that was followed by ice Cube. And

682
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: they've all you know, that's a league that features multiple

683
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: former NBA players. Ice Cube spoke on that earlier in

684
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 2: the week. Let's have a listen.

685
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 11: You know, it's always fifty to fifty till we get

686
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 11: a note. You know, at the end of the day

687
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 11: US it is a generous offer, you know, and look

688
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 11: you know, we're in a new age. You know, it's

689
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 11: like nil. You know, when when we came up with

690
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 11: the idea. You know, our sponsors, our partners, they all

691
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 11: want to make it happen. So you know, we was

692
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 11: able to make that generous offer. It's definitely doable. You know,

693
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 11: both leagues play on CBS, so of course they love

694
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 11: it if we.

695
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 2: Can make it happen.

696
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 11: And so it's you know, it's up to the player,

697
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 11: you know, as the league will make it happen. We'll

698
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 11: our offers in you know, we just need to answer

699
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 11: as soon as they ready to red.

700
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 2: In case you were wondering, should Clark take them up

701
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: on the offer, she would still be able to participate

702
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: in both the Three on three and the w NBA

703
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 2: because the WNBA regular season doesn't begin till May and

704
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: the playoffs start in late September. The big season runs

705
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 2: from June until August. So the truth of the matter

706
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 2: is Clark would be able to finish collegia, play at Iowa,

707
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 2: and then do what she needs to do here. I

708
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: guarantee you if she does this, and I'm not sure

709
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 2: she will, I want to hear what I want to

710
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: what the people have to say it's seven seven, nine

711
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: to nine on Fox, she'd be playing against men. I

712
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 2: know some people want to see that, but others I

713
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: think are are gonna throw a flag. They're gonna believe

714
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: it diminishes her her real skill, and that is as

715
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 2: a contributor to help build the w NBA into an

716
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 2: even bigger Uh, you know, a TV attraction that it

717
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 2: has been, it's starting to You're starting to recognize the

718
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 2: names more and the crowds that games have become bigger.

719
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 2: So will she do it? Do you think she should

720
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: do it? And what do you think will happen? Right now?

721
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 2: She goes, I'll leave these leaves, these things up to

722
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 2: my handlers. And she doesn't give an answer yet. But

723
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: five million is five million, but I guarantee you it

724
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: comes with another price tag in the court of public opinion. Meanwhile,

725
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 2: showhil Tony do you believe him or not? Or what

726
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 2: do you believe or what don't you believe? The key is,

727
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: let's not try to play amateur psychology without a license.

728
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: She's tell me what was going on in your mind?

729
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what was going on in my mind.

730
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 2: I'm watching this twelve minute press conference and he says,

731
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 2: if he's been stealing money from my account, he told lies,

732
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 2: I never agreed to pay off a debt. Blah blah blah. Okay,

733
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what to believe. Do I think Otani

734
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 2: bet on baseball? No? I don't do I think he

735
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: bet at all? No, I don't. But did he give

736
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 2: his interpreter power of attorney? It's my understanding from what

737
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: I've read that the multiple five hundred thousand dollars payoffs

738
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: to this illegal book against Southern California were consummated last October.

739
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 2: So what happened between October and March?

740
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 3: Uh?

741
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: Did Otani know about that in October? Did he give

742
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 2: him power of attorney? If he knew about it, said

743
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 2: screw it, I'm just gonna pay it. I gotta I

744
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: gotta get his back. I've known him too long? Then

745
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: why did he stick with him since October?

746
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 3: What?

747
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: They're just there's questions, and it's something isn't adding up,

748
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: and I don't know where this investigation lands. I think

749
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 2: it's going to kind of fade away and there's going

750
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 2: to be this big fireworks that some people think the

751
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is is. I really don't think

752
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 2: that there's a whole lot of appetite to find out

753
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 2: where this goes. But we'll see so Otani and Caitlin

754
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 2: Clark eight seven seven not an out on Fox. That's

00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: great topics tonight. Do you believe Showyotani? What are your

769
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 2: thoughts when you observe that twelve minute press conference last week?

770
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark drawing a lot of attention. Should you take

771
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 2: five million to go play in the three on three League.

772
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 2: That's why we call this next segment the Midnight Hour,

773
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: a chance for the peeps to way in eight seven, seven, nine, nine,

774
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: six six three sixty nine, eight, seven, seven, nine and

775
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: nine one Fox. Of course we'll hear from the crew

776
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 2: as well. We started this beginning of the year. It's

777
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 2: been great, lots of good, varying opinions from around the country.

778
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 2: So without further ado, let's get it started. Let's go

779
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 2: to Massachusetts. Jim and Massachusetts start us off tonight. What

780
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 2: are your thoughts? Which topic you want to start with?

781
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 3: Oh, Caitlyn Clark, good to talk to you, brik Hey, listen,

782
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: she has no business getting involved with that.

783
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 12: And I think her parents will tell her that too.

784
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 3: I mean, remember when Michelle Wee and I think Sorenstance Yes,

785
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 3: played with the guy. Yes, I mean that was before

786
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 3: all this. Well, if you want to be called Sally,

787
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 3: you know, Tod of Sam, you know it will allow that.

788
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 3: In all that's going on, Riley gains. She doesn't want

789
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 3: to stick her toe and all that type of stuff.

790
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 3: This service to women after all of this coming out,

791
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 3: you know, guys should stay in guy sports, girls should

792
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: stay at girls sports. I mean, she should She should

793
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 3: have said no right away. But I think once she

794
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 3: thinks about it, she isn't going to touch that. She's

795
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 3: not going to touch that.

796
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think she's going to play in the

797
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 2: three and three league either. She could have said yes already,

798
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: she said. She kind of passed it off to her handlers.

799
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: This is kind of a gimmicky deal right away. But

800
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: five million, you know, boy, money tell you just never know.

801
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 2: But good, good analogy with Michelle Wee because the minute

802
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 2: she got on a course with men, you didn't start

803
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: hearing much about her career much after that. Any you

804
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 2: want to any any thoughts on Atani, Well, you know.

805
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 3: TONI I just think, I mean, he's in a situation

806
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 3: bigger than than he expected. And I don't think he's

807
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 3: he's involved in betting and all that stuff. And you

808
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 3: can't even speak the language, so how are you gonna

809
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 3: make your own bets? You know? So I think that

810
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 3: guy just took advantage of him, and you know, he

811
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 3: he's gonna get it over there. I think there's just

812
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 3: a lot of people out there that you know, don't

813
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 3: make it big, that like to knock down people that

814
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 3: are big. And I think it'll blow over after a while.

815
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 3: But you know he's in a tough spot right now.

816
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in an uncomfortable spot. I thinks a lot

817
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: appreciated jim My concern was by not taking questions, it

818
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 2: reduced what happened this last week to mere theater. You

819
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 2: don't hide strength, you don't want to conceal positive information.

820
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 2: So what question might have compromised him that might have

821
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: caused this rabbit hole to sink further? Why not just

822
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 2: be an open book about the old end thing unless

823
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 2: there's something there you don't really want to get out.

824
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: Otherwise you could have put that whole thing to bed

825
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: right away. No one's gonna call him an idiot. People. Look, look,

826
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 2: if anybody watched the Bernie Madoff special on Netflix, a

827
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: lot of really bright people will accomplish people close to

828
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 2: the situation. You wonder, how could they be hoodwinked. It

829
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 2: happens to people. And if well tany would have got

830
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 2: up there and said, look, I paid off his bets.

831
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. This is not my favorite day,

832
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 2: but I'm loyal. It's an honorable thing. I didn't want

833
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 2: them to be stuck out there alone. I gave him

834
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: power attorney. I shouldn't have done that. I paid off

835
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: his bets. Yeah, yes, it happened in October. Yes I

836
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: knew about it, but I just couldn't bring my heart

837
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 2: to let him go. Okay, why didn't all that come out?

838
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 2: Because maybe some of that's not true. We don't know.

839
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I'll tell you what. You don't

840
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 2: hide strength. You don't conceal information that would would would

841
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 2: you know, cast you in a more favorable light. But

842
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: they didn't want to take questions. Uh, Nolan, Massachusetts, what

843
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: are your thoughts?

844
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,919
Speaker 13: We I think AI is definitely comic at at least

845
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 13: some level of the thing. Any any withdrawal you take

846
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 13: out over ten thousand dollars, see we recorded, uh to

847
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 13: the I R S. It's very convenient to be to

848
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 13: be able to say like, oh, it was my interpreter,

849
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 13: you know. Uh, and he stole the money without my knowledge.

850
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 14: Uh.

851
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 13: And and now that this whole thing has come out

852
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 13: to say, you know, it seems like Rob Mafford probably

853
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 13: got Nosani the air and he he made a call.

854
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, known.

855
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 13: White collar criminal Rob Mamford.

856
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 15: Uh.

857
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 13: So you know, if it's not good for Baseball to

858
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 13: have Atani in this situation. So obviously Rob Manford made

859
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 13: a call and he said, Okay, we're gonna pin this

860
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 13: all on the interpreter. And and this had nothing to

861
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 13: do with too So I think Oani is definitely complicit

862
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 13: at the level.

863
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 2: So maybe he was maybe do you think he was

864
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: making bets through his interpreter or what do you say complicit?

865
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: Tell me what you mean by that.

866
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 13: I think I think and it's either possible that he

867
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 13: was involved in the betting or he's just you know,

868
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 13: covering this up for his interpreter because or not not

869
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 13: even you know, like it's very convenient to be able

870
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 13: to say that, oh, my interpreter, this guy that I

871
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 13: trusted with all this stuff, he stole my money and

872
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 13: he put bets out with It's it's it's very convenient

873
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 13: to be able to argue that when you know this

874
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 13: is your right hand give and he's got control of

875
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 13: your money, like he could he could just be doing

876
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 13: this for you and you could say, you know, any

877
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 13: at any point you have plausible ability to be like, oh, yeah, no,

878
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 13: he bothers me.

879
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: And and this with anything on Caitlyn Clark, I think.

880
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 13: She's I think she's really awesome for women's basketball. I

881
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 13: think that like the uh, you know, uh saying that

882
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 13: she's you know, all the time leading scorer in college basketball,

883
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 13: I think is a stretch obviously between men's and women

884
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 13: She is, but I think that there is a difference

885
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 13: between the men's and.

886
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 2: Women's Game's got a five million dollar offer to play

887
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 2: in the three and three, Like I'm trying, you think

888
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 2: she's going to take it? Would you take it? Would

889
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 2: you what would you advise her to do?

890
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 3: Oh?

891
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 13: Personally, I would absolutely take it. I don't think she's

892
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 13: going to take it because I think her she's got

893
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 13: the best interest in women's basketball and she should uh

894
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 13: and you know, she should go to WA try to

895
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 13: grow that at least I don't. I don't think she

896
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 13: will take it, but I think personally, you know, financially, I.

897
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: Would take it.

898
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's much more ephisically, uh you know, Lucra opportunity

899
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 13: than than w w A.

900
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 2: Right, fair enough, All right, thanks a lot for checking in, Nolan. Look,

901
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 2: I would advise her not to. I don't think anything

902
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 2: can come out of it. What if she goes in

903
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 2: averages forty points a game? So what it's a gimmick league.

904
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 2: But at the same time, at the same time, what

905
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: if she's embarrassed or hurt or something along those lines.

906
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 2: And in terms of making five million dollars, trust me,

907
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 2: her endorsements are going to be I think the rocket

908
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 2: through that number in a relatively short amount of time.

909
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 2: And she's going to be drafted by the end Dana

910
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: entrant in the w n b A and they're already

911
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 2: selling tickets on her behalf. So I think she's got

912
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: a great career ahead of her, and it's nice she's

913
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 2: getting attention, but I don't think I think would be

914
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 2: a mistake. Andrew and Bakersfield, What are your thoughts on

915
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 2: either Otani and or uh.

916
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 16: Uh?

917
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 17: Caitlin Clark, Well, how's it going tonight?

918
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 2: Good? Thanks?

919
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 17: Good. When I first heard of Tawny's statement, I thought

920
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:37,959
Speaker 17: he said that's where he said. I thought he said

921
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 17: I never made any bets on any sports. I never

922
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 17: asked anybody to make any bets for me. And I

923
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 17: thought he said I told lies, And so he said.

924
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: He he said I has been telling lies. Yes, he

925
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: goes he quote the quote is Hippy has been stealing

926
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 2: money from my account and has told lies, go ahead, right,

927
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 2: So I.

928
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 17: Thought it was a tawny thing. He told lies, And

929
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 17: in my opinion, if that was the case, then it

930
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 17: could all make sense if he says, yeah, I knew

931
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 17: about it and when it first came out, I lied.

932
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not what happened, right, That's not what happened.

933
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 2: So so you know, do you believe him? I mean, did?

934
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: What are thoughts on what you heard?

935
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 17: I think the guy could have stolen money from him

936
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 17: and he didn't know, and then he found out about

937
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 17: it and was like, what's up and then paid the stuff,

938
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 17: But that he's not guilty in the terms of gambling himself.

939
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 2: Fair enough. I agree with all that. I mean, but

940
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 2: this happened last October, So what happened in the six

941
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: months so you could stand Timo Towny thoughts on Caitlin Clark, Well.

942
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 17: I think she said, Well, the question is can she

943
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 17: do She can do both?

944
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 2: Yes, the schedule will permit she would be able to

945
00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 2: do both.

946
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 17: Yeah, say don't do it until you're done with your career,

947
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 17: you know.

948
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,600

951
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm trying to find that fight was

952
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 2: it was it Rolfredo Gomez and Rocky Lockrage. Is that

953
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:19,720
Speaker 2: the one you're talking about?

954
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 14: No, Salvador Salvador Sanchez.

955
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 2: Salvador Sanchez and you And that was back he lost

956
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 2: and that was like nineteen eighty one in Caesar's Palace, right, Yes, yes,

957
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 2: that was his first loss, if I'm not mistaken, that

958
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 2: was afraid of Gomez's first loss. He was thirty two

959
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: and zero before there. Right, I'm trying to Yeah.

960
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 14: He he went not in wait to fight Sanchez because

961
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 14: he has beaten every other Mexican and he and he

962
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 14: talked trash about Sanchez that he was going to do

963
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 14: the same thing to him, and well, you gotta see

964
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 14: the fight. He was supposed to get married, I believe

965
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 14: a week after the fight or two weeks after the fight,

966
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 14: and he was unable to do it because of the

967
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:04,399
Speaker 14: beating he cut.

968
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 2: It was a t k O eight rounds and out.

969
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 2: It was for the UH, for for the title. It

970
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 2: was a title fight. All right, let's stay on let's

971
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 2: stay on pace tonight. What do we got for Otani

972
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 2: and uh and Caitlin Clark tonight.

973
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 14: For Kaitlyn Clark. I think she should do it, really

974
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 14: anything with it. Oh yeah, but the thing is this,

975
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 14: they're gonna play with a men's basketball or a women's basketball.

976
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 2: Well, they play with the men's basketball, they play with

977
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 2: the men's it's it's if you if you've ever watched it,

978
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 2: it's a gimmicky deal. They do get some TV ratings,

979
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 2: you got a lot of x NB A former NBA

980
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 2: players and ice Cube's really done kind of a nice

981
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 2: job with it.

982
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,959
Speaker 14: Actually, I think it will be fun and she's gonna

983
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 14: make I mean, she's gonna make the money anyway whatever

984
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 14: she goes, but it will be kind of fun for

985
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 14: her to do that. I think so that she should.

986
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 14: She should do it.

987
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 2: All right, Otani, did you did you watch an idiot?

988
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 14: And yeah, the question is where's it?

989
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 2: He's I think he's been fired, but.

990
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 14: I know he got fired by the Dodgers, but were easy.

991
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 14: Nobody anything of the guy, and the investigations has to

992
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 14: go through him. I don't know what happened with I

993
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 14: don't know what happened with with with the money the uh.

994
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 14: Yesterday I was watching a program and the reporter mentioned

995
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 14: that when she saw the wires, the five hundred thousand

996
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 14: dollars wires, two of them they spelled Otani without an age.

997
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 14: So that gave me like, really, so what is the

998
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 14: reporting about major League Baseball? Is gonna bury it because

999
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:55,479
Speaker 14: he's the unicorn, that's something that they're gonna bury it. Yeah,

1000
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 14: but they also again, nobody's gonna remember that.

1001
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 2: I don't find an evidence that he bet on anything.

1002
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 2: It's gonna go away. It's part of a larger I

1003
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 2: think it's part of a much larger investigation on this

1004
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 2: operation in southern California. And Altani's name just got popped up.

1005
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 2: All right, Gerberto enjoyed the rest of your weekend, man,

1006
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 2: Thank you Age seven seven, nine to nine on Fox.

1007
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 2: If you had a chance to observe the twelve minute

1008
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 2: or I think it was a twelve minute press conference

1009
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 2: on Monday afternoon, Uh, and it was you know, there

1010
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 2: are translations and he doesn't speak the language, or he

1011
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 2: he doesn't. We don't know that he speaks the language.

1012
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 2: He might, but he wasn't that day. And he basically

1013
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 2: claimed is a horror engaged in theft and fraudy. And

1014
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 2: since he had no knowledge on the betting, activity until

1015
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 2: March twentieth. But how the hell do you have two

1016
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 2: five hundred thousand dollars checks drawn on your name? If

1017
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 2: that's what happened, what's been reported the October before, there's

1018
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 2: just there's just a few holes. He didn't want to

1019
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 2: take questions either. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark, is this a circus actors?

1020
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,919
Speaker 2: She goes plays three on three, but it is five

1021
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 2: million dollards? Will bringing the crew get their thoughts on

1022
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 2: it as well? And by the way, this confounding Otani

1023
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 2: situation kind of it's starting to expose a little bit

1024
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 2: of a darker underbelly of sports betting that are making

1025
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 2: certain people uncomfortable in professional sports and college sports. And

1026
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 2: I will share with you some recent incidents that have

1027
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 2: that have kind of seeped to the surface that causing

1028
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 2: some people to feel a little uncomfortable. Will there be

1029
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 2: a day reckoning? I don't think so, but something to

1030
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: something to pay attention to. By the way, the Fox

1043
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 2: nine to nine on Fox God text from Steve Rodriguez,

1044
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 2: Bernie Hell, Yes, Kitlin Clark should do it. Five million

1045
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 2: is a lot of money, even if it is a circus.

1046
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 2: The NFL Pro Bowl is a circus. She's not going

1047
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 2: to be Michelle we fair, But that implies that Kitlin

1048
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 2: Clark might not have another avenue to make five million,

1049
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 2: and I think she'll actually make a lot more than that.

1050
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 2: But let's see what we shall see. Back out to

1051
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 2: the phones. Ryan in Washington, you are up next? What

1052
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 2: are your thoughts on these subjects?

1053
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 18: What's up, Bernie?

1054
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 17: How are you doing?

1055
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 2: Bud good? Well, thank you sir, awesome.

1056
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 18: As far as Kitlin Clark is concerned, I think if

1057
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 18: she's a purist, she'll do the WNBA thing. I think

1058
00:55:53,160 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 18: she's going to do much better with endorsements overall status sure,

1059
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 18: playing in the WNBA an established league, much more than

1060
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 18: a gimmick league.

1061
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 2: Fair And I think she even said the other day

1062
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 2: that should Iowa not make it to the final four,

1063
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 2: she's been invited to work out with the US Olympic team,

1064
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 2: and so she's got a chance to make that team

1065
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 2: as well. How about what are your thoughts on Otani?

1066
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 2: If you did you observe the twelve minute press conferences

1067
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 2: last week?

1068
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 18: I saw parts of the twelve minute press conference. I've

1069
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 18: kind of been following the story, but I think the

1070
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 18: Tammi situation is a little bit different. I think Major

1071
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 18: League Baseball has to look at this as a Pete

1072
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 18: Rose situation.

1073
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 2: Wow.

1074
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 18: Yeah, where you end up with what could be the

1075
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 18: face of the MLB and three quarters of a billion

1076
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 18: dollar contract ending up, you know, being pulled off the

1077
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 18: table and in a lifetime ban. Is he sound guilty?

1078
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 18: So Major League Baseball is probably gonna do everything they

1079
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 18: possibly can to cover it up.

1080
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:12,280
Speaker 2: Who well, here's okay, I appreciate you checking in, Ryan,

1081
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 2: Thank you. I think baseball needs this story, like you know,

1082
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 2: Madonna needs a new boyfriend. The bottom line is this

1083
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 2: they have to investigate. According to John Paul Morosi, it's

1084
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 2: a legitimate investigation, and they you know the old saying,

1085
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 2: don't go look for something you don't want to find.

1086
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 2: Do I think Tony bantam baseball?

1087
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 16: No?

1088
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't, and I don't think they're going

1089
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 2: to find that. That's just my opinion. There are too

1090
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 2: many holes in the story though, that don't add up.

1091
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 2: And that's why he didn't want to take questions, or

1092
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 2: it wasn't his decision to take questions. But how easy

1093
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 2: would it have been to just simply take questions? Unless again,

1094
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 2: but you don't hide strength. Do you back out to

1095
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 2: the phones, Andy and Oregon? You're up next to your thoughts, Bernie,

1096
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 2: how going good, sir?

1097
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 3: Thank you nice.

1098
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 16: First, I think that Caitlyn should, in fact and go

1099
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 16: play all right money. I think it do good for her.

1100
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 16: If she does well, she could own her skills, and

1101
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 16: you know, maybe she's ad of these guys growing up

1102
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 16: and so cool to play with them. And then if

1103
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 16: she does well, and I'll go to the w n

1104
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 16: b A and kick ass there too. M And then

1105
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 16: I think about show, Hey, I don't think he did that,

1106
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 16: but you know, he needs to be accountable for making

1107
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 16: the payments. If so, because it's still illegal. They're right,

1108
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 16: And uh, I mean, I know that Bob Maprien's already

1109
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 16: a joke, so they probably won't do anything, but he should.

1110
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 16: He still pulp accounta before he.

1111
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 13: Did do.

1112
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 2: And I think, all right, thank you, h Andy. And

1113
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 2: I think he's being held accountable just by the fact

1114
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 2: that he had to answer for it, the fact they

1115
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 2: felt compelled to make a public statement, and the fact

1116
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 2: that there is an investigation that is going on to

1117
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 2: to what degree. How do you know how long it's

1118
00:58:58,120 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 2: going to take, how deep they're going to go, and

1119
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 2: how much more his name comes up? I don't know.

1120
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't have high hopes it's going to

1121
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 2: be an ongoing, big you know, we're not talking about

1122
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 2: Tanya Harding here type thing where it just went on

1123
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 2: for months, right, I just don't see that. I could

1124
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 2: be wrong. But and and by the way, for what

1125
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 2: it's worth, I should say this if and I think

1126
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 2: it's a big if, I think there's less than ten

1127
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 2: percent chance Caitlin Clark does it. If she plays in

1128
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 2: that three on three league, I'll watch. I would watch it.

1129
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 2: I would want to see what that looks like. Alex

1130
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 2: in Dallas, you're up next. What do you want to

1131
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 2: start with? Otani or Caitlyn Clark.

1132
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 19: I want to talk more about Otani, but go ahead.

1133
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 19: I think Caitlyn Clark, I think it's a win win.

1134
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 19: She's got to grow her personal brand along with obviously

1135
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 19: women's athletic. So I think that three on three there's

1136
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 19: I don't think there's a losing that situation where she

1137
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 19: obviously made more money and then even if she was

1138
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 19: as successful, I mean, at least she's out there and

1139
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 19: and she's you know, competing against her male competitors.

1140
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 11: So I think.

1141
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 19: O'TAWNI uh so, I think anytime you make that amount

1142
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 19: of money, you're gonna have a fall guy. And so

1143
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 19: I think the interpreter at the end of the day

1144
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 19: is gonna end up uh carrying the bag basically for

1145
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 19: for everything that's going on. I don't think as a

1146
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 19: international superstar you're gonna wire millions of dollars without consulting somebody.

1147
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 19: But I also think that Otanni is a uh, you know,

1148
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 19: multi national star in the face of baseball to where

1149
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 19: they're trying to hide this, you know, as soon as

1150
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,439
Speaker 19: they can. I think the one thing that's unique about

1151
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 19: this year is obviously he can't pitch, and you know,

1152
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 19: as ah one of the best pitchers in the game,

1153
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 19: one of the best hitters in the game. The fact

1154
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 19: that he can't pitch and then all of a sudden

1155
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 19: this news comes out creates a unique scenario where if

1156
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 19: he was one hundred percent healthy, you know, I think

1157
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 19: this story would be squashed a lot quicker. But you

1158
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 19: also have a year where you know, he he isn't

1159
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 19: a you know, primarily a pitcher, and he's still one

1160
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 19: of the best hitters in the game, but all of

1161
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 19: a sudden this, you know, this news comes out to

1162
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 19: where baseball team and what they can do and the

1163
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 19: news related to it. But I think baseball is ultimately

1164
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 19: trying to squash the story to where you know, they're

1165
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 19: they're protecting one of their biggest tas bets.

1166
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot. I appreciate you checking in.

1167
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 2: Clearly he's their biggest at set. I believe I'm not

1168
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,439
Speaker 2: down with the babe in the Woods routine. I didn't

1169
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 2: know what was going on. He's telling a bunch of lives. Meanwhile,

1170
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 2: your name's attached to two five thousand dollars checks. Doesn't

1171
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 2: mean you bet on baseball. But this book's missing a chapter.

1172
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 2: Lots more folks to get to. We're gonna get to

1176
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 2: got to say. Do you believe Otani? Would you take

1177
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 2: the money if you were Caitlin Clark and all of

1178
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 2: the above. All right, But before we get to that's

1219
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 21: I think that Otani is a robot and he literally,

1220
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 21: uh he literally is so evasive to everything for the

1221
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 21: last seven years that it caught up to him. And

1222
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 21: now we know he's a compulsive gambler and he will

1223
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 21: never hit like he did with the Angels.

1224
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 15: Ever again, because.

1225
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 21: If you're a compulsive gambler, then once you hit the

1226
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 21: jack butt, that's the last time you'll ever hit anything.

1227
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 2: Now he's so let me ask you a question, John,

1228
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 2: because there's certainly no evidence that points to that. It's

1229
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 2: just a gut feel you have because you like didn't

1230
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 2: tell us have his dog, and no one who he

1231
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 2: got married to he's got like the secret life? Is

1232
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 2: that it?

1233
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 14: Yeah?

1234
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 21: Yeah, we've never met his wife and we've never met

1235
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 21: his anybody. But the interpreter of the interpret looked like

1236
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 21: a nice guy. He was like, okay, he was he

1237
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 21: was like really like very similar to the OJ character

1238
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 21: that everybody excepted never heard of the trial.

1239
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 2: Well that's this is this is one of the more

1240
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 2: this is one of the more provocative calls you had

1241
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 2: while you where you been?

1242
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 15: Uh?

1243
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 2: Uh? John? And actually you've called before? All right, real quickly? Uh?

01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,439
Speaker 21: On Friends with Ben Nollery. That's why I called because

01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:41,000

Speaker 13: Ben was on at this time.

01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 3: But I guess you.

1267
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 2: you you enjoy your weekend, my man. Okay Tanner in Colorado,

1268
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 2: you are up next, Caitlin Clark Shuyo, tan Do you

1269
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 2: have opinions on either one?

1270
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 22: Uh So? Starting off on the show, Hey, o, tawny thing.

1271
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 22: I've been working in a casino for, you know, over

1272
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 22: ten years, and I know what a compulsive gambler looks like.

1273
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 22: I know what you know an habitual gambler looks like.

1274
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 22: And I watched his press conference and to be completely honest,

1275
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 22: I think he seems sincere in not having complete knowledge

1276
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 22: of the gambling part of it. I think my big

1277
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 22: thing with the whole the whole thing, there's a lot

1278
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 22: of holes in it, like you said, And I also

1279
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 22: feel like, you know, if you were to make it

1280
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 22: equivalent to like the normal American, if you were missing

1281
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 22: like forty five hundred dollars out of your bank account,

1282
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 22: you would probably notice. So I feel like four and

1283
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 22: a half million is you got to know something's wrong there?

1284
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 22: But I also think, you know the guy, the guy's

1285
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 22: kind of the face of baseball right now. So I

1286
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 22: think I agree with you guys. I think the MLB

1287
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 22: is just going to.

1288
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 2: Bury it anyway.

1289
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,479
Speaker 22: So unless they find some heart evidence, I don't think

1290
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 22: really much is going to come out of it.

1291
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 2: Hard evidence mean that he gambled on baseball, right, that's

1292
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 2: what you're because, Yeah, in my observation, they found evidence

1293
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 2: that his name is attached to large amounts of money

1294
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,439
Speaker 2: paid to a bookie. And like you said a minute ago,

1295
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 2: you could have four grammits from your account and you're

1296
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 2: going to go what you know, you know much less

1297
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,919
Speaker 2: four point five million. And the second thing is that

1298
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 2: if this happened, you know, six months ago, why did

1299
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 2: he stick with this guy? And why don't you want

1300
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 2: to take questions? That's what That's what threw me. Anything

1301
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 2: on the I'm Caitlin Clark, Should you take the money?

1302
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 22: Honestly? Like it could be a good opportunity. I think

1303
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 22: financially she's going to be good either way, like you said,

1304
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 22: with the endorsements and stuff. But right big time, I

1305
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 22: think I think Caitlin going to the w NBA. I

1306
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:32,679
Speaker 22: think she's got a golden opportunity right now, because I mean,

1307
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:36,759
Speaker 22: she's got ratings for college basketball the last two years

1308
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 22: almost to the point of men's college basketball, which is insane.

1309
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 22: And you know, kind I kind of look at her

1310
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 22: going to the w NBA, kind of like when Lebron

1311
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 22: entered the league, like she's got an opportunity to turn

1312
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 22: the w NBA into something.

1313
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 2: You know, all right, thanks a lot, Tanner. I think

1314
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 2: she'll be an asset to the WNBA, and the WNBA

1315
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 2: is growing, it's growing in popularity, and I'm ian I'm

1316
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,759
Speaker 2: guessing we never did hear back from Cameron in Indiana.

1317
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 9: No, we have not, but Cameron, if you want to

1318
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 9: call back, we're still waiting.

1319
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 2: All right, man, Robert and Orlando, you are up next.

1320
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 2: Your chance to weigh in tonight.

1321
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 3: Bernie good good, good evening.

1322
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 2: Man.

1323
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 15: First off, everybody knows at this point the weekends are

1324
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 15: for Bernie Fratto over thank you, thank you, sir. Your

1325
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 15: previous caller, John, he's about a school as a bonfire.

1326
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 15: So on the Kaitlin Clark Clark issue, five million dollars

1327
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:36,640
Speaker 15: equaced to fifty years of playing top end getting day

1328
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 15: top end money into w NBA. I think it's a

1329
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 15: no brainer.

1330
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 3: She should do it.

1331
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:42,560
Speaker 15: Yeah, it made it sound like a gimmick, look like

1332
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 15: a gimmick. But that's a lot of money for her to,

1333
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 15: you know, leaf sitting on the table on the on

1334
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 15: the show, Hey Otani situation. If that was any other

1335
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 15: player in Major League Baseball, they'd already be suspended.

1336
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 3: Forget even that you have no.

1337
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,600
Speaker 15: Proof that you gamble directly on baseball yet, just the

1338
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 15: fact that he's tied to an illegal bookie with this

1339
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,640
Speaker 15: type of money, that's already a violation of the MLB's

1340
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 15: roles on that. So and if in fact his interpreter

1341
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 15: did steal this four point five million dollars, why has

1342
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 15: any press charges against him yet? Why hasn't this guy

1343
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 15: been arrested?

1344
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 2: Boy, those are some really heady points there. Okay, now

1345
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 2: we're now we're getting somewhere. Now we're getting somewhere. Robert,

1346
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 2: did you did you watch the twelve minute press ky,

1347
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 2: Here's why you get it. Here's why I keep stumbling

1348
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 2: over that. It was not a press conference. Okay, it

1349
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 2: was theater. Continue on there.

1350
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:41,640
Speaker 13: What it was?

1351
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 15: It was a twelve minute verbal statement. I mean, that's

1352
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 15: basically all it is. A way to get your narrative

1353
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 15: out there, you know one, you know, one side of

1354
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 15: something that really has no meaning. And I just I

1355
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 15: don't understand how MB is allowing him to even play

1356
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 15: at this point.

1357
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: I mean, as I.

1358
01:10:58,520 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 23: Said, any other.

1359
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 15: Player would be sitting down right now. I mean, if

1360
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 15: you had some friends player on the Minnesota Twins, you

1361
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 15: know what I mean, who got caught up in something

1362
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 15: like this. He's gone, He's not playing.

1363
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 2: We talked about this last week. There was a player

1364
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 2: for the Florida Marlins back in twenty fifteen and Miami

1365
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 2: Marlins who was investigated and has was fond too have bet,

1366
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,600
Speaker 2: but he did not bet on baseball, and it was

1367
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:29,560
Speaker 2: basically a fine and a slap on the wrist and

1368
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:33,600
Speaker 2: he got to resume. But this is a little different situation,

1369
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 2: and the fact that he didn't take questions Robert is

1370
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 2: the thing that to me made the thing kind of

1371
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 2: a scam.

1372
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 15: Anyway, good stuff, absolutely, yep, thank you, Bernie, all.

1373
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 2: Right, thanks for checking in. You always welcome eight seven,

1374
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine on Fox, Wrapping it up on the

1375
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 2: midnight hour. Thoughts on Otani, Thoughts on Caitlyn Clark, Kevin figures,

1376
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,599
Speaker 2: if you were advising Kitlyn Clark, would you say take

1377
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 2: the money or no.

1378
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 6: I was was worn on this a little bit, but

1379
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 6: ultimately I would say I would take the money because

1380
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 6: she's just not going to be able to see that

1381
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 6: much throughout the.

1382
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 7: Entirety of her WNBA career. We've already seen.

1383
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 2: How about endorsements. Is already getting commercials for insurance companies

1384
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 2: and all kinds of stuff.

1385
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 6: But do you think that's totaling up to five million

1386
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 6: dollars in once in one year. I mean, I think

1387
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 6: it might take you know, ten fifteen years to get

1388
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 6: to that point. And I think it's amazing that women

1389
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,679
Speaker 6: basketball players, especially even at the collegiate level, are finally

1390
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 6: getting you know, endorsement deals and all that. But it's

1391
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 6: nowhere near the amount that the men are getting. I

1392
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 6: don't know what it is, but I can tell you

1393
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,640
Speaker 6: it's nowhere close to what it is. And I know

1394
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 6: the salary that you would get at the WNBA, even

1395
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 6: at the highest level, is maybe in the hundreds of

1396
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 6: thousands of dollars. So you can still dominate the WNBA,

1397
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:45,600
Speaker 6: bring exposure there, and honestly, it might be mutually beneficial

1398
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 6: to the Big Three to have a star like her

1399
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 6: play in the Big Three League, get more attention to

1400
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 6: the women's basketball game and have bring more viewers over

1401
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 6: to the WNBA. So the only way with the way

1402
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,679
Speaker 6: that it would hurt is if she were to physically

1403
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 6: get hurt, which we obviously would hope wouldn't happen. And

1404
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 6: if you're playing against a bunch of older men in

1405
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 6: this league, you know, that's something that you would necessarily

1406
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:07,640
Speaker 6: have to worry about. I understand it, but I mean,

1407
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 6: that's five million dollars for a women's basketball player for

1408
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 6: one season is a heck.

1409
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 7: Of a lot of money.

1410
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 2: Ten games, eight to ten games.

1411
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 7: That's that's incredible. I think that's I really think that

1412
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 7: the risk is worth the reward here for her.

1413
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 2: I would watch. I'd like to see Kenyan Martin d

1414
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 2: up on her. You talked about that, right, I would.

1415
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I would watch. Right, We're going to

1416
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 2: continue on this mole in San Diego. You'll be up next.

1417
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,599

1426

1429
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,719
Speaker 2: five large to play in the three on three league

1430
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 2: for ice Cube mo in San Diego. Thanks for hanging on.

1431
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 2: You're up next, Hey, Bernie.

1432
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 23: You know what I just I just if I was

1433
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 23: Caitlyn Clark, I'd stay so far away from that three

1434
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 23: on three league because to me, there's a lot of

1435
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 23: racism going on there, if you ask me, because what

1436
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 23: I think is that everything can you know they can

1437
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 23: they can get her in that league? Man if she

1438
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 23: I mean, why why wouldn't they have offered other w

1439
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 23: NBA players a chance to get in their lead.

1440
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 2: She's your all time leading scorer. Now, I mean, I

1441
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 2: think she's a here's the thing, moll, she's a draw.

1442
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 2: Even I said I'd watch just to see what it

1443
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 2: looks like. And so it's a little bit of an

1444
01:14:56,920 --> 01:15:00,599
Speaker 2: outlier here in that situation. And yeah, have to remember

1445
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,719
Speaker 2: that you don't have royalty in this country. Our athletes

1446
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 2: and our entertainers are our royalty. Caitlin Clark's become royalty.

1447
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 2: She brings, she puts butts in seats. But continue on.

1448
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 2: That's just I answer to your question.

1449
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 23: Well, well, I'm just saying that a young lady that

1450
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 23: that that got released from the Russian prison, why didn't

1451
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 23: they try to offer her that deal? And And to me,

1452
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 23: that's like if she got in there and looked bad,

1453
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 23: then you know, then then then the three on three

1454
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 23: league would would they would look down and say, oh,

1455
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:31,920
Speaker 23: you're taking advantage of her.

1456
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 14: You know, she's an African.

1457
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 23: American lesbian and she just got out of prison, and

1458
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 23: now you take of her. But to me, you just

1459
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 23: get if you have a white.

1460
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 22: Player, you know, you could.

1461
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 23: Just about say and do anything.

1462
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 15: Whoa, you know what I mean.

1463
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 23: That's just my opinion.

1464
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 2: Do you have any thoughts on h on Shohail Tani?

1465
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 23: You know what, I think, it's just like Lebron James

1466
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 23: doing steroids. Man, Nobody wants to you know nobody wants

1467
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:04,799
Speaker 23: to get near that story.

1468
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 2: That's what I think. Well, appreciate you checking in, man.

1469
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 2: One of the things about the Midnight Hour is that

1470
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 2: we get varying opinions, and we want that. The most

1471
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 2: boring conversations are when everybody agrees. So some unique original

1472
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 2: thoughts tonight, and I appreciate people taking the time to

1473
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:30,520
Speaker 2: weigh in. Junior in Pacifica. Did I say that right, Pacifica?

1474
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 20: Yes, yes, small beach town near San Francisco.

1475
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. Okay, there's also a Pacifica High

1476
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 2: School at Orange County, but that's a story for a

1477
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 2: different day or maybe not. All right, what do you

1478
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 2: got there for us tonight?

1479
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 20: My man, I did not know that, and I do

1480
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 20: not keep track of I'm.

1481
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 2: An encyclopedia of useless information, and in case you may

1482
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 2: have noticed, but go ahead, all right, all.

1483
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:56,599
Speaker 20: Right, So first of all, with show, hey, I think

1484
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 20: the story is actually a little deeper than what we're

1485
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 20: all talking about. I think it's a little sad. Back

1486
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 20: in the day, any major league would have suspended someone

1487
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 20: for a year on this information while they figured it out,

1488
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 20: just to keep themselves clean. And the fact that MLB

1489
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 20: is falling over backwards to try to cover this up

1490
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:21,400
Speaker 20: or uh you know, downplay it or whatever, downplays the story. Whatever,

1491
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 20: it's it's all just a little sad. I don't and

1492
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 20: I don't know what happened. I do not claim I

1493
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 20: do not claim to know of anybody's or anything. But

1494
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 20: you know the fact that this is all playing out

1495
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 20: so publicly without any action, y MLB, It's just it's

1496
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 20: just a little sad.

1497
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 3: That's so, you know, uh, Julian.

1498
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 2: Order that you know that your sentiment honestly is starting

1499
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 2: to bubble to the top a little bit more in

1500
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 2: terms of the preferential treatment Shohio Tani may or may

1501
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 2: not be getting. Given the light touch, the story is graped,

1502
01:17:58,280 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 2: go ahead.

1503
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 20: I thank you, thank you, No, I appreciate that. And look,

1504
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 20: I'm not putting down show. I'm putting down the MLB first,

1505
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 20: I got it. Yeah, yeah, not not having not keeping

1506
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,600
Speaker 20: up standards and so all so with the with this

1507
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 20: three on three story. Look, man, whoever made this offer

1508
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 20: is a genius. Because of course, of course she's not

1509
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 20: gonna take it. Her lifetime value is much higher if

1510
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 20: she keeps the classy, if she respects the people who

1511
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 20: came before her, the people coming after her. So's everything right.

1512
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,519
Speaker 20: So he's just got his name and the offer out

1513
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 20: there for a few news cycles and all betted to him.

1514
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 20: But it ain't gonna happen. She's she's a class act.

1515
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 20: People around her are supporting her.

1516
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 19: No better.

1517
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm an agreement. I'm an agreement is other. Hey,

1518
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 2: don't be a stranger. We do this every Friday night,

1519
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:54,719
Speaker 2: midnight hour. Uh, have hold it down up there in PACIFICA.

1520
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 2: I got a buddy lives in Capitola, probably not too

1521
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 2: far away. The preferential treatment of athletes is and is

1522
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,759
Speaker 2: his oldest time. Jimmy Johnson loves to tell the story

1523
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 2: when you know, head coach of the Cowboys. Formerly he said,

1524
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 2: you know, look, do I treat all players equal? Yeah?

1525
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 2: Do I treat them the same?

1526
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 17: No?

1527
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 2: What do I mean by that? He says? If my

1528
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 2: backup pooch Punter falls asleep during film session, I might

1529
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 2: cut the guy right. On the other hand, if Troy

1530
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 2: eight then falls asleep during film I might nudge him

1531
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 2: and wake him up and say, hey, Troy, can I

1532
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 2: get you a pillow? So I see job? So hey, listen,

1533

Speaker 2: no callers are getting turned away. Okay, we spilled past

1558
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 2: Okay, anyway, I'd like.

1559
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:53,000
Speaker 12: To shut the fas two. I did it on my

1560
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 12: podcast too.

1561
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 3: But you know, this is Caitlin Clark.

1562
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 12: You know, the fact of the matter is she's in

1563
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 12: the headline one moment. You know, some of the goats

1564
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,640
Speaker 12: from the past is talking about her, saying that she

1565
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 12: won't have that impact immediately, and then you have reporters

1566
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 12: going at each other. You know, I'm not going to

1567
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 12: mention their names because of this one guy sas he

1568
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 12: went off on one guy in particular, But that coward

1569
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:25,719
Speaker 12: who said that this is racist or underlying racist or whatever.

1570
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 12: I don't see the racism in i Q going out

1571
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 12: to Caitlin Clark.

1572
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 16: Now.

1573
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 12: Yet some could say, well, why come he didn't offer

1574
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 12: angel reece. I know that could be spun that way,

1575
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 12: But right now, what's the hottest commodity Caitlyn Clark? What

1576
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 12: does Caitlyn Clark do, whether she at home or business court,

1577
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:47,719
Speaker 12: on the neutral court, what happens she's must see TV?

1578
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 12: I mean from the last year gesture that you can't

1579
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 12: see me and to it being fun two different ways

1580
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 12: from two different athletes. At the end of the day,

1581
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 12: Caitland Clark a hot commodity, so why wouldn't you have it?

1582
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,679
Speaker 12: Makes as they say in WW terms, it's best for business.

1583
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 2: So what ice Cube is a shrewd businessman?

1584
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 22: Right?

1585
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 2: You have to give it up to the men and

1586
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:14,880
Speaker 2: go ahead.

1587
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 12: And the other fact is, you know, I like the

1588
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 12: fact that now some of the mainstream guys are talking

1589
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 12: about women's sports, whereas they used to be taboo. And

1590
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 12: my thing has always been like this, especially if you're

1591
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 12: a man and you have a daughter that plays sports,

1592
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,639
Speaker 12: why wouldn't you support women athletes? And I think ice

1593
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 12: Q is on the something and I think, right Rick Flatt,

1594
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:39,640
Speaker 12: you're going to see a lot more of that happening now.

1595
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 12: So right now, how the thing is, Caitlin Clark, there's

1596
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 12: no racism involved in it. It's just what's best for business.

1597
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 12: So Caitlin Clark the bin. The only thing she has

1598
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 12: to do right now is.

1599
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 3: Way her decisions.

1600
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 12: What's the advantage of taking the money planning victory, are

1601
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:57,000
Speaker 12: taking the money playing in the WNBA, Because we know

1602
01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 12: the WNBA. They get paid weekly, very weekly.

1603
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 2: All right, Anthony, good stuff, man. Oh, absolutely, don't be

1604
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:10,680
Speaker 2: a stranger. We do this every every Friday night. And

1605
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 2: I'll repeat one of my axioms I've probably overstated for

1606
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 2: twenty five thirty years, and that is in America, we

1607
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 2: don't have royalty. Our athletes and our entertainers are our royalty,

1608
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 2: and we're here for it. And the facts as facts.

1609
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:32,559
Speaker 2: As Anthony pointed out, when Caitlin Clark the Traveling Show

1610
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 2: comes to town, they're paying four hundred dollars a ticket

1611
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,640
Speaker 2: to see her play. TV ratings go up. Should be

1612
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 2: drafted number one by the Indiana Fever. They're already getting

1613
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 2: calls since season tickets. They're talking about growing from five

1614
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 2: grand a game to eight grandy game. Just because I

1615
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:48,760
Speaker 2: heard so. Look, I admit I would watch just to

1616
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:51,800
Speaker 2: see what it looks like. What is a retired NBA

1617
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 2: player going to look like guarding her? It might not

1618
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,600
Speaker 2: be pretty. On the other hand, she might score. You

1619
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 2: just don't know, so it's worth worth watching. Kevin, I

1620
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 2: got your thoughts on on o'tani. What are your thoughts

1621
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 2: on Caitlyn Clark.

1622
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 6: I think it was the opposite, it was I got

1623
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 6: go ahead and I can talk about Kiven Clark again.

1624
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:14,679
Speaker 7: Might stand still stays the same.

1625
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 6: I do think while it is gimmicky, that amount of

1626
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 6: money is hard to pass up for a woman's basketball player.

1627
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 6: Fifteen years from now, hopefully that's not the case, but

1628
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:25,680
Speaker 6: in the current condition, I think from a business standpoint,

1629
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 6: a couple ten twelve games, however many there are for

1630
01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 6: the Big Three schedules, she can still make an impact

1631
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 6: in the WNBA and as well continue to expand her

1632
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 6: brand and the Big Three's brand by playing for them.

1633
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 6: As far as Otani goes, I've kind of convinced myself

1634
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 6: that this is probably what happened. Are the most likely

1635
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,680
Speaker 6: situation and the reason why Otani cannot admit that he

1636
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 6: basically paid off or gave money to Epey for his

1637
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 6: gambling debts is because someone told them that it was

1638
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 6: against the law to do that. You're basically edding eiding

1639
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 6: and a betting someone who broke the law and showey

1640
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 6: Otani doesn't want that on to have a criminal record.

1641
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 6: It will mess up his we can clean image, so

1642
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 6: the easiest thing to do, and basically for epe it

1643
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 6: will destroy his image, but it will save his friend

1644
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 6: Oltani Epe's falling on the sword. Yep, I did it.

1645
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,600
Speaker 6: I'll stole your money. I messed this up. You're not

1646
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 6: going to take the fall for this. We'll just say

1647
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 6: that we stole it. Now, how they actually find a

1648
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 6: way to frame this for the people that are investigating that,

1649
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 6: I don't know. But from a public perception standpoint, I

1650
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 6: also think that the problem is that's why he can't

1651
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 6: actually come out publicly and admit that he gave the

1652
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 6: money to him, because he basically would be admitting that

1653
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 6: he broke the law. And I think that's the reason

1654
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 6: why it's being framed the way that it's being framed

1655
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 6: right now.

1656
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there is that element. I think what

1657
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 2: has happened is part of a much larger investigation, and

1658
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:45,639
Speaker 2: I'll compare it to the Heidi flight situation twenty years

1659
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 2: ago when names got you know, we're leaked in dribs

1660
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:53,600
Speaker 2: and drives. So let's just have a little fun for

1661
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 2: a second. Kevin, he didn't want to take questions. What

1662
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 2: you think? The question they were afraid of being asked.

1663
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 6: How did he they have access to your accounts? Which,

1664
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 6: by the way, if you had have found it.

1665
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 2: We've given him part of attorney, which I wouldn't have.

1666
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:07,640
Speaker 6: You know, I could have easily said that, you know,

1667
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 6: I trusted Ipe so much that he had access to

1668
01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 6: all my accounts.

1669
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 7: He was my friend. He betrayed my trust.

1670
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 6: He could have And by the way, they had basically

1671
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,559
Speaker 6: what five six days between coming back from South Korea

1672
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 6: to having this press conference on Monday to figure all

1673
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:23,959
Speaker 6: of this out to be able to answer any potential

1674
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,639
Speaker 6: questions you might get in a media situation, they had

1675
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 6: to know that that was going to be the biggest

1676
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 6: question that people were going to ask.

1677
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:33,919
Speaker 7: One, how do you have access to your accounts?

1678
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,639
Speaker 6: And two if he didn't, how did two separate five

1679
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 6: hundred thousand dollars transactions go under your nose with you

1680
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 6: not know not knowing?

1681
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:44,000
Speaker 2: And we both know that's hogwash, right? And it happened

1682
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:46,439
Speaker 2: in October? So what happened between October and March? All

1683
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna still it will be buddies, We'll go to

1684
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 2: Arby's Mats and curly friends together, No big deal, man,

1685
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 2: four and a half million between friends? Why did six

1686
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:53,639
Speaker 2: months go by?

1687
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 7: Correct?

1688
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:56,679
Speaker 6: Because usually if it's if you have a business manager,

1689
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 6: which a lot of times for these major athletes. And

1690
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 6: you know, four and a half million dollars can be

1691
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 6: chump changed for some of these guys, and they have

1692
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 6: a business manager, but Epe's not his business manager, So

1693
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:07,559
Speaker 6: that means it would have to go through multiple channels.

1694
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 6: If you try to move fifty thousand dollars, let alone

1695
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 6: five hundred thousand dollars, there are so many checks and

1696
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 6: balances and signatures and phone calls that have to happen.

1697
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 6: It's hard to believe that Shoey Ootani wouldn't be able

1698
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 6: to or wouldn't sign off on that.

1699
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 7: It just just go through one person.

1700
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 6: Now, unless they're saying Epe forged his signature and for

1701
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 6: his g signatures and who knows what. If that's what

1702
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:29,720
Speaker 6: they're claiming, then maybe that's a little bit different. But

1703
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:31,719
Speaker 6: even then I think that's a little far fetched.

1704
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 2: Well if that were the case, and Otani's got a

1705
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 2: case against the banks as well, Yeah, so yeah, this

1706
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 2: is full of holes. The little charade on Monday or

1707
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 2: whatever day it was Tuesday, it was reduced to theater

1708
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 2: when they didn't want to take questions.

1709
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 6: Can I say to you, by the way Bernie said,

1710
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 6: but the people saying like Major League Baseball would have

1711
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 6: already suspended them, and they're showing him special treatment based

1712
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:54,799
Speaker 6: on precedent.

1713
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 7: They are not.

1714
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:59,959
Speaker 6: You talked about the Marlins pitcher who wasn't even suspended

1715
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:03,160
Speaker 6: when he basically admitted to gambling illegally in the state

1716
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 6: of Florida back when it was not legal quite yet.

1717
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:08,759
Speaker 6: All Major League Baseball did was fine him for gambling

1718
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 6: because he didn't gamble on baseball. And as of right now,

1719
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:15,680
Speaker 6: the fans are not necessarily investigating shoe Otani. They're investigating

1720
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 6: the bookie and epe Choey probably ran a roundabout ways

1721
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:21,560
Speaker 6: going to be wrapped up in that. But as of

1722
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 6: right now, he's not even notably or publicly being stated

1723
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 6: as a person of interest. So I'm not saying that

1724
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:29,880
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball won't in effect try to cover this

1725
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 6: up and get this done as quickly as possible, And

1726
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:34,639
Speaker 6: that basically came out of Man for It's mouth earlier

1727
01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 6: this week. He basically said, we want to have as

1728
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 6: quick an investigation as possible, which raised a lot of eyebrows.

1729
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,720
Speaker 7: I get it, but as of right now, as of

1730
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 7: right now.

1731
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:44,759
Speaker 6: They're not doing anything or showing any sort of special

1732
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:46,800
Speaker 6: treatment to Altani because one he's not named as a

1733
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 6: person of interest, and two, even if he were precedent

1734
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 6: would say as long as he didn't bet on baseball,

1735
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:53,800
Speaker 6: he would be charged with the fine.

1736
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:55,639
Speaker 7: It would not have to miss time on the field.

1737
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 2: And that would be the only cover up that if. If,

1738
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 2: and it's a huge if with ten feet tall letters,

1739
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 2: if Otani bet on baseball and Baseball wanted to cover

1740
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 2: that up, that would be the only cover up. Okay,

1741
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 2: but I don't think that it's risen to that level

1742
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 2: at all. But something's missing somewhere because he could have

1743
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,000
Speaker 2: got out there and said, look, he was my friend.

1744
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 2: He bet without my knowledge. He got in deep. I

1745
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 2: could let my friend drown on this one. I had

1746
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,639
Speaker 2: given him ParvE attorney. We've been friends for a long time.

1747
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 2: Even after all this, I just didn't want to leave

1748
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 2: him on the side of the road. I want him

1749
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:34,439
Speaker 2: to remain my friend. That's why since October, even though

1750
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 2: all this happened six months ago, he's still been by

1751
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:39,479
Speaker 2: my side. Now that it's gone public, we have no

1752
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 2: choice but to move on and the investigations taking a

1753
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 2: separate turn. Was I a victim of circumstances like the

1754
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 2: three stooges he had. But I'm not the first one.

1755
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 2: Check out the Bernie Madoff story on Netflix. It'll blow

1756
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:53,800
Speaker 2: your mind a number of successful people. The reason he

1757
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 2: didn't do that because I don't think that happened. There's something.

1758
01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:58,280
Speaker 2: There's a chink in the arm of there somewhere.

1759
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 6: The probably legitimate sig nature is Oltani signing off on

1760
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:03,800
Speaker 6: giving this money to Epay, and the other way would

1761
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 6: be like, well, you know what he needed money for X,

1762
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:07,400
Speaker 6: Y and Z, and I gave it to him.

1763
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,360
Speaker 7: I didn't know what he was doing with it. But again,

1764
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:12,719
Speaker 7: that's not good enough when it comes from a legal standpoint.

1765
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:15,479
Speaker 6: You still gave money to someone and you were basically

1766
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 6: part of an illegal operation, and you can get prosecuted

1767
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 6: for that. I think it could be a well it'd

1768
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:23,840
Speaker 6: be a misdemeanor, but you're still basically contributing to someone

1769
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:26,360
Speaker 6: doing having a legal activity, and that will go. That

1770
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 6: will work against Shoe TONI from a legal standpoint, and that.

1771
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:32,519
Speaker 2: Could still exist. The other thing, too, is and we're

1772
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:34,360
Speaker 2: gonna we run the risk of really going down this

1773
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:36,800
Speaker 2: rabbit hole, but it's going to happen, and here's the

1774
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 2: rabbit hole. I'm talking about. What illegal bookie is going

1775
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 2: to extend four and a half million dollars of credit

1776
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 2: to somebody's never heard of, right, he's got to know,

1777
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:46,920
Speaker 2: and that it's tied to a larger right. So here there,

1778
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 2: there we are. I think people are going to have

1779
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 2: a thirst for follow up. I don't think there's going

1780
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 2: to be a hell of a lot. I just don't.

1781
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:58,120
Speaker 2: I think once they've made they've made the determination that

1782
01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 2: that show not bet on baseball. And I'll give it

1783
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:03,880
Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine percent he did not, but don't

1784
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:05,280
Speaker 2: give it any one hundred percent. But the point of

1785
01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 2: the matter is there's nowhere to go with the story

1786
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 2: as far as baseball concerned, and move along. Nothing to

1787
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:11,679
Speaker 2: see here. Go ore to your you know, filet Mignani

1788
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium, which is his story for enough another day.

1789
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:16,760
Speaker 2: That makes my teethache, right, goods, good stuff. You heard

1790
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:17,720
Speaker 2: about that KT, right, Kevin?

1791
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:18,920
Speaker 7: Absolutely part of me?

1792
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 2: Oh my god? All right, hold that thought. We have

1793
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 2: to maybe revisit that in the future show. Uh, let's

1794
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:29,679
Speaker 2: hear from you, Ian Roddy, your thoughts on the Tani situation.

1795
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:34,080
Speaker 8: I don't have a whole lot of original more thoughts,

1796
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 8: just because all the callers plus Kevin, you guys have

1797
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 8: kind of hit every every angle of it. But it's

1798
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:43,760
Speaker 8: it's just unfortunate, you know that he's at the top

1799
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 8: of the world right now and then this, this hits.

1800
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:50,559
Speaker 8: So I don't know, I just I you know, I'm

1801
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 8: on the verge of saying I feel for him, But

1802
01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 8: then again, like it is kind of he could have

1803
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:55,120
Speaker 8: brought this on himself.

1804
01:31:56,760 --> 01:32:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there has to be some culpability there, come on,

1805
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:08,040
Speaker 2: meaning what culpability their friends? Yeah, you had to be

1806
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:12,600
Speaker 2: aware of them. In law, there is a there is

1807
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:15,800
Speaker 2: a a term called promifaci, which on the Latin Latin

1808
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 2: stands were on the face of it stuff the minute

1809
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 2: they found two five hundred thousand dollars checks that came

1810
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 2: from Otani's account to that bookie. This is what's been reported.

1811
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 2: It's not my repertas or someone. Okay, well, we use

1812
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:32,400
Speaker 2: the word allegedly just to cover ourselves here. That how

1813
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,160
Speaker 2: the hell does Otani not know about that? I'm sorry,

1814
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 2: that doesn't pass the giggle test. That's the culpability I'm

1815
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 2: talking about.

1816
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 9: Okay, Yeah, yeah, I mean right out of the movie It's.

1817
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,679
Speaker 2: A Wonderful Life, and Jimmy Steart says, where's the money?

1818
01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:49,560
Speaker 2: Your full he allowed him to handle the money. There's culpability,

1819
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:50,200
Speaker 2: go ahead.

1820
01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 8: It does feel like they're trying to get him out

1821
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 8: of this squeaky clean that, you know, as squeaky clean

1822
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:58,840
Speaker 8: as he came into it, you know, like just they

1823
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 8: want his reputation to be absolutely flaw this after this,

1824
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:03,360
Speaker 8: and the fact of the matter is that's just not

1825
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:05,680
Speaker 8: going to happen. And I think that he needs to

1826
01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:07,760
Speaker 8: cut his losses. He's going to get into some kind

1827
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:12,520
Speaker 8: of trouble that money was wired. I think it's respectable

1828
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:14,280
Speaker 8: enough to just come clean and say that you were

1829
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:17,040
Speaker 8: trying to help out your childhood friend. And obviously, if

1830
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:19,639
Speaker 8: he's going to get into a little bit of trouble

1831
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 8: legally there where, maybe he has to actually serve a

1832
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:25,120
Speaker 8: few game suspension or something in the season. I think

1833
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:27,280
Speaker 8: in the grand scheme of things, that's a lot better

1834
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 8: than him being the one who is the gambler and

1835
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:33,400
Speaker 8: him being the four and a half million dollars. So

1836
01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 8: I think he should cut his losses here.

1837
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:37,839
Speaker 2: And just like he thinks he did that on Tuesday

1838
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:39,320
Speaker 2: when they did the press conference.

1839
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, the press conference was weird because, like you guys

1840
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 8: have been saying that, not taking questions just kind of

1841
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:48,760
Speaker 8: it makes it not even a press conference in the

1842
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:51,639
Speaker 8: first place. It's just him making a statement like Seater

1843
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 8: tweeted that the right exactly, and they had to.

1844
01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:59,040
Speaker 2: Do something because if you do nothing and raise his suspicion.

1845
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 2: Now it's not so much what he did raised suspicion,

1846
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 2: but it raised questions, meaning it feels like you're leaving

1847
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 2: something out and and it it you don't. You wouldn't

1848
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 2: be leaving out anything that's good news, would you? All Right?

1849
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 2: Real quickly, your thoughts on Caitlyn Clark.

1850
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:18,600
Speaker 8: The Kaitlyn Clark. I mean, people have been kind of

1851
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:21,640
Speaker 8: saying it. Ice Cube is an absolute genius for this.

1852
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 8: And it's not not just because of the fact that, yes,

1853
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 8: he's capitalizing on this huge Caitlin Clark moment, so he's

1854
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:29,240
Speaker 8: getting eyes on his league.

1855
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:30,400
Speaker 9: He's also.

1856
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:34,080
Speaker 8: It's that on top of the fact that he's actually

1857
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:36,040
Speaker 8: creating a huge debate to go.

1858
01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:38,040
Speaker 9: With it, is like can she hang with the men?

1859
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:41,439
Speaker 8: Every sports talk show you know, including ours here in

1860
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:43,639
Speaker 8: the country, is talking about the fact that she got

1861
01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:46,639
Speaker 8: this offer to play for so much money against men,

1862
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 8: and that it's unprecedented. So that that's why I feel

1863
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:53,360
Speaker 8: like he is especially such a genius, is because he

1864
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:55,320
Speaker 8: created such a fascinating debate to.

1865
01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 9: Go with this offer that already would have got a

1866
01:34:58,360 --> 01:34:59,920
Speaker 9: ton of eyes on his Big Three league.

1867
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:02,799
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey thoughts on either subject.

1868
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 10: When it comes to Otani, I just wonder if they're

1869
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 10: ever going to question the bookie who supposedly took the best.

1870
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 10: When I see photos of Otani talking to his former teammates,

1871
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 10: He's not having a hard time speaking English then, And

1872
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:26,640
Speaker 10: who was the one who made the phone call to

1873
01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:29,559
Speaker 10: get the bookie on the phone? Was it the interpreter

1874
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,599
Speaker 10: or was it Otani through the interpreter?

1875
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:35,960
Speaker 7: How does that work? Will they ever investigate that part?

1876
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:41,760
Speaker 10: And when it comes to Caitlin, I thought that Ice

1877
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:44,800
Speaker 10: Cube had women a women league, but I guess I've

1878
01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:46,120
Speaker 10: been told it's just a men league.

1879
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:51,760
Speaker 2: It's it's a three on three for retired NBA players, right.

1880
01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 10: I don't think that's a good idea because she might

1881
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 10: get knocked around. She's I mean, she's a basketball player,

1882
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 10: but I just think she get knocked around. Yeah, And

1883
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:04,600
Speaker 10: that I think she'll be the best for her to

1884
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:05,120
Speaker 10: get hurt.

1885
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 2: I think she's got bigger aspirations. I mean, she went,

1886
01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:12,439
Speaker 2: you know, she's gonna make plenty of money anyway. It

1887
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:15,719
Speaker 2: slic said she's got an opportunity to make the Olympic

1888
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 2: team if i WOA doesn't make it to the final four.

1889
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 2: I think she's already said she'll move toward that direction.

1890
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:24,960
Speaker 2: So I don't think she's going to accept the offer,

1891
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:27,240
Speaker 2: nor should she at this time. I think you have

1892
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 2: again opportunity to make money elsewhere. She's just getting started.

1893
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:33,880
Speaker 2: She's only what twenty one years old, twenty two years old,

1894
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 2: where the case may be. And what's to say she

1895
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:38,680
Speaker 2: can't come back and play in the men's three on

1896
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,160
Speaker 2: three league down the road three or four years, who knows,

1897
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:44,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, but good stuff. We're not trying to

1898
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:46,200
Speaker 2: sell the world's problems here, but this is what's out

1899
01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:50,320
Speaker 2: there in the news, all right. And so my final

1900
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:52,800
Speaker 2: conclusion is, I don't think there's going to be much

1901
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:57,840
Speaker 2: more follow up reportage on this whole betting ordeal as

1902
01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:01,080
Speaker 2: it pertains to Showyo Tani. Just my thought, and I

1903
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:03,720
Speaker 2: think we'll see what Iowa does this weekend. If they

1904
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:05,640
Speaker 2: make it to the Final four and where they go

1905
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 2: from there. But I think she'll focus on the WNBA

1906
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:12,200
Speaker 2: help to grow that league coming up. I want to

1907
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 2: get to the owners meetings. It took places last week

1908
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:19,080
Speaker 2: at Florida, and there were a lot of things I'm

1909
01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:22,000
Speaker 2: going to devote more time to this Saturday night. But

1910
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:25,439
Speaker 2: we've gotten to a point now where eighty five percent

1911
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 2: of all NFL kickoffs aren't returned. And if you've been

1912
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:30,400
Speaker 2: watching it football as long as we all have, the

1913
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:33,680
Speaker 2: kickoff return is one of the most exciting plays in

1914
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:37,920
Speaker 2: football on any level. And one of the big developments

1915
01:37:37,960 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 2: to have come out of the owners meetings this past

1916
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 2: week is that the owners approved this new hybrid kickoff

1917
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:48,120
Speaker 2: rule on Tuesday during the league meetings and the vote

1918
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 2: past twenty nine to three, and the Committee Competition Chairman

1919
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:57,519
Speaker 2: Rich McKay tole reporters that it really is an idea

1920
01:37:57,720 --> 01:38:00,679
Speaker 2: who I think the league is looking forward to implementing.

1921
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna share it with you because it's goofy and

1922
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna hear it's not goofy when you watch it.

1923
01:38:06,200 --> 01:38:08,599
Speaker 2: You can just watch it, but you're gonna now hear

1924
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:14,439
Speaker 2: a term called landing zone, landing zone. I'll lay out

1925
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 2: what that means. Coming up, I'm Bernie Frattle. We're a

1926
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:19,920
Speaker 2: company lying from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio tirect

1927
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 2: dot com studios. Keep it locked. You're listening to the

1928
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:24,920
Speaker 2: Bernie Friddle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back

1929
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio. Keby lyon

1930
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 2: from the tarret dot com studios. Take you up to

1931
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:35,040
Speaker 2: two am Pacific, five am Eastern. We are, of course

1932
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 2: broadcasting here from Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio. The NFL, well,

1933
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:44,640
Speaker 2: they've desired to jumpstart the kickoff for a while and

1934
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:48,240
Speaker 2: they got it done. This past week. The committee, the

1935
01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:52,559
Speaker 2: NFL Competition Committee, voted twenty nine to three to change

1936
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 2: the new kickoff rule. They're calling it a hybrid kickoff rule,

1937
01:38:56,920 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 2: and it's gonna dramatically change the way kickoff look, the

1938
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:04,160
Speaker 2: way kickoffs feel, and the truth of the matter is

1939
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:12,240
Speaker 2: it's going to finally create more kickoff returns. Now Here

1940
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:16,479
Speaker 2: are the new alignments, and here are what's your These

1941
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:19,120
Speaker 2: are the quick ins and outs. Okay, you're gonna hear

1942
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 2: this term called the landing zone. The landing zone is

1943
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 2: the area between the goal line, the receiving team's goal

1944
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 2: line and the twenty yard line, and that's where the

1945
01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 2: kickers need to put the ball because you're gonna have penalties.

1946
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:37,240
Speaker 2: And the truth of the matter is is that you

1947
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:39,120
Speaker 2: blast the ball out of the end zone now so

1948
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 2: teams can't return it. That's not going to serve you. Well,

1949
01:39:42,360 --> 01:39:43,599
Speaker 2: they were going to put the ball in a thirty

1950
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 2: five year old. I think they put it up a thirty.

1951
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 2: But here are the basic scenarios. You kick a ball

1952
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:51,759
Speaker 2: that lands in the landing zone, it's got to be returned.

1953
01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 2: It's you can't fair catch it, you can't let it

1954
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:56,599
Speaker 2: bounce in the row. You got to return it. That's

1955
01:39:56,880 --> 01:39:58,680
Speaker 2: any kick that lands between the goal line and the

1956
01:39:58,720 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 2: twenty it's got to be returned. Kickoffs that hit the

1957
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:03,360
Speaker 2: landing zone and then go into the end zone or

1958
01:40:03,439 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 2: bounce into the end zone, they have to be returned

1959
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:08,920
Speaker 2: or down by the receiving team, and if the team

1960
01:40:09,040 --> 01:40:10,840
Speaker 2: downs it, then they get the ball only at their

1961
01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:13,560
Speaker 2: own twenty yard line. Now, kickoffs that go into the

1962
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:15,760
Speaker 2: end zone and stay in bounds that are down. That

1963
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:18,320
Speaker 2: gives the receiving the ball. The team receiving the ball

1964
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:21,720
Speaker 2: at their own thirty yard line. Kickoffs that go out

1965
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:24,439
Speaker 2: of the back of the end zone is a touch back.

1966
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:26,719
Speaker 2: You get the ball in the thirty yard line. Kickoffs

1967
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:29,160
Speaker 2: that fall short of the landing zone they're treated like

1968
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:32,519
Speaker 2: a kickoff out of bounds. If they go out of bounds,

1969
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:34,760
Speaker 2: the receiving ball gets the ball at their own forty

1970
01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 2: yard line. The idea here is it's like a golfer

1971
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:42,559
Speaker 2: and a webshot landed just right. Make them return the ball,

1972
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 2: and if you cover the kick right, you cover the kick.

1973
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,320
Speaker 2: But we're in a situation where eighty five percent of

1974
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:51,040
Speaker 2: kickoffs aren't returned anymore. Now, they're only gonna do this

1975
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 2: rule for one year in twenty twenty four. It's subject

1976
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 2: to renewal in twenty twenty five, and if things don't

1977
01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:59,519
Speaker 2: go the way they want they go back to the

1978
01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:02,840
Speaker 2: draw I remember remember they had that passed interview in

1979
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:06,640
Speaker 2: s past interference review rule a few years ago. So

1980
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 2: if things don't go the way the NFL wants it,

1981
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:11,000
Speaker 2: they go back to the drawing board and do it

1982
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 2: their way. They're gonna probably have to tinker with it,

1983
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 2: you know, once they start it and try a few

1984
01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:19,000
Speaker 2: things and see how teams try to gain the system.

1985
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:22,280
Speaker 2: But the truth of the matter is, uh, this is

1986
01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 2: also gonna wipe out the spontaneous on side kick. And

1987
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 2: if you're you know your traditionalist, I will tell you

1988
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:30,800
Speaker 2: what this is going to do is revitalize a play

1989
01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 2: that's been dying in the National Football League for the

1990
01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:36,120
Speaker 2: last twenty years because they're trying to avoid injuries and

1991
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 2: head injuries and keep them to a minimum. I think

1992
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:40,519
Speaker 2: it's going to be a big improvement and ladd some

1993
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:43,719
Speaker 2: excitement to the game. Coming up Chris Purffett's World of Soccer,

1994
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 2: But first we go back to our guy, Kevin Figures

1995
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 2: with the latest.

1996
01:41:46,960 --> 01:41:49,280
Speaker 7: Okay Barney and the Elite eight is set in stone.

1997
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:52,160
Speaker 6: In men's college hoops, after the action on Friday night,

1998
01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:55,400
Speaker 6: the Nightcaps aw Tennessee knockoff Creighton. The final score there

1999
01:41:55,520 --> 01:41:58,439
Speaker 6: eighty two to seventy five do keld off short handed

2000
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:00,880
Speaker 6: Houston fifty four to fifty one on Jamal shed of

2001
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 6: the Cougars left the game in the first half and

2002
01:42:03,200 --> 01:42:05,679
Speaker 6: did not return after suffering what is called a severe

2003
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 6: ankle sprain. Earlier in the night Produce shot fifty seven

2004
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:12,160
Speaker 6: percent from the field. They defeated Gonzaga eighty to sixty eight.

2005
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:14,640
Speaker 6: NC State the only double digit seed to make it

2006
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:17,400
Speaker 6: into the Elite eight. They upset second seat at Marquette

2007
01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:20,240
Speaker 6: sixty seven to fifty eight. On the women's side of

2008
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:23,559
Speaker 6: the Sweet sixteen, Texas dominated Gonzaga sixty nine to forty seven.

2009
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:26,880
Speaker 6: South Carolina held on to defeat Indiana seventy nine to

2010
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,640
Speaker 6: seventy five and proving to thirty five and oh on

2011
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:32,479
Speaker 6: the season, Oregon State and NC State with wins there

2012
01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:35,439
Speaker 6: as well. In the NBA, Houston defeated at Utah oneh

2013
01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:38,800
Speaker 6: one to one hundred for their eleventh consecutive victory. Thirty

2014
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:41,440
Speaker 6: points for Kyrie Irving in a Dallas win in Sacramento,

2015
01:42:41,680 --> 01:42:44,720
Speaker 6: who had victories for the Timberwolves, Thunder and the Clippers

2016
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:46,080
Speaker 6: back to Bernie Fretto.

2017
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:49,200
Speaker 2: I bought those rockets, Kevin. All the more reason Draymond

2018
01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:51,639
Speaker 2: Green needs to watch his p's and q's tell catch

2019
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:52,480
Speaker 2: the Warriors.

2020
01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 6: Absolutely can' Can you imagine the Warriors actually missing the playoffs?

2021
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:56,840
Speaker 6: It is a very real possibility right now.

2022
01:42:56,960 --> 01:42:59,479
Speaker 2: And that's maybe why Chris Steph Curry was almost reduced

2023
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:03,719
Speaker 2: to tears. Good stuff. Kevin appreciate it all right. Soccer

2024
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:07,320
Speaker 2: is a international sport, and you're going to be hearing

2025
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 2: a lot more about it since the Olympics are coming

2026
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 2: up here in Paris and a little lesson four months.

2027
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:15,920
Speaker 2: But whether that's on the field or off the field,

2028
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:18,479
Speaker 2: in season or out of season, there are always plenty

2029
01:43:18,479 --> 01:43:21,040
Speaker 2: of stories. That's why we bring you Chris Purfetts World

2030
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:21,720
Speaker 2: of Soccer.

2031
01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 24: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

2032
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:41,000
Speaker 1: I am, it's all here in this report from the

2033
01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:42,160
Speaker 1: World of Soccer.

2034
01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:47,360
Speaker 25: Congratulations the United States for winning the Konka Calf Nations

2035
01:43:47,439 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 25: League over long ancient rival Mexico. Final score from Sunday

2036
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:56,960
Speaker 25: was to nothing, or, in the parlance of the US

2037
01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 25: men's fans, dos acero.

2038
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 7: And if you don't know the history.

2039
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:03,680
Speaker 25: Of dos a sero, Bernie or those at home, let

2040
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 25: me tell you a bit of a story. The first

2041
01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 25: dos Asseo was in nineteen sixty five. The US had

2042
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 25: been a stopped Mexico on a two to two draw

2043
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 25: five days earlier and part of the qualifying for the

2044
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 25: nineteen sixty six World Cup. Thus went into Gestadi Olympico

2045
01:44:22,600 --> 01:44:27,360
Speaker 25: in Mexico and defeated them to nil. And through the

2046
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:31,479
Speaker 25: histories really starting in the two thousands. Really, dos aso

2047
01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:34,320
Speaker 25: has been the rallying cry of the United States team,

2048
01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:38,680
Speaker 25: always defeating Mexico by that score to nil. If it's

2049
01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:40,479
Speaker 25: to nil at any part of the game, I feel

2050
01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:43,320
Speaker 25: pretty good about the United States being the ones to

2051
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:46,639
Speaker 25: beat it from Mexico. For a country that has always

2052
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 25: seen the United States as someone to just completely put

2053
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:51,800
Speaker 25: in their place, to zero is a bit of a

2054
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 25: slap in the face. It's a cry against the honor

2055
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:58,439
Speaker 25: of l Tree that the men up north always seem

2056
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:01,760
Speaker 25: to defeat them by this score. And we had yet

2057
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 25: another Dosa sero on Sunday, both Mexico and the United

2058
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 25: States heading on to Copa America. When those tournaments and

2059
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:13,559
Speaker 25: that tournament gets started to hear in the summer, Bill Bernie,

2060
01:45:13,680 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 25: we are entering the ten match remaining mark of the

2061
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:21,280
Speaker 25: English Premier League season. It's going to be a fascinating

2062
01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:23,479
Speaker 25: chance for things to come down to the wire.

2063
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:23,800
Speaker 7: Here.

2064
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:26,880
Speaker 25: Let's update you on the table real quick. Coming into

2065
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:31,400
Speaker 25: this weekend, Arsenal and Liverpool stand tied atop the table

2066
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:35,160
Speaker 25: in points sixty four a piece, with Arsenal having the

2067
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:39,519
Speaker 25: edge in wins over Liverpool. Manchester City just a point

2068
01:45:39,640 --> 01:45:43,240
Speaker 25: behind them, and this is setting up for a wonderful,

2069
01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:48,280
Speaker 25: wonderful showdown between these three clubs. Liverpool surging back into action.

2070
01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:51,759
Speaker 25: You will remember that we last saw Arsenal last season,

2071
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:54,479
Speaker 25: kind of giving up the ghost late in the year

2072
01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 25: to Manchester City as they cruised on towards their multi

2073
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:02,920
Speaker 25: trophy season. But Arsenal for a long time in the

2074
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:05,760
Speaker 25: twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three season had a

2075
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 25: good lead on there and it's good pressures on them

2076
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:11,280
Speaker 25: to see if they will once again choke it out,

2077
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:14,240
Speaker 25: and pressure's on Liverpool to see if they can bring

2078
01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:18,400
Speaker 25: home the trophy for the final year for their retiring

2079
01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:22,200
Speaker 25: manager Jurgen Klop and all of the talent Liverpool has had,

2080
01:46:22,280 --> 01:46:25,960
Speaker 25: and really they've had the talent to keep taking titles

2081
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 25: and just haven't been able to because of Manchester City.

2082
01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 25: So we've got quite a bit of drama ahead of us,

2083
01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 25: and once you know what, the weekend is giving us

2084
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:38,759
Speaker 25: that same drama to come with all three top clubs

2085
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 25: I named are going to be playing on Sunday and

2086
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:43,600
Speaker 25: we have time then to kind of give you a

2087
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:47,519
Speaker 25: preview of what's to come. Liverpool the hosting Brighton and

2088
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:51,519
Speaker 25: Hove Albion. That'll be a fascinating one there. Brighton's great

2089
01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:55,559
Speaker 25: young striker Evan Ferguson still just a teenager who's away

2090
01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 25: on international duty with the Republic of Ireland, but he

2091
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:00,920
Speaker 25: is still in a bit of a drought and it'll

2092
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:02,639
Speaker 25: be interesting to see if he can get it pack

2093
01:47:03,120 --> 01:47:07,720
Speaker 25: against the Merseyside. As we mentioned, Jurgen Klop ending his

2094
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:13,120
Speaker 25: reign as the Liverpool manager after this season. Liverpool struck

2095
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:15,840
Speaker 25: with some bad news this week. They were targeting the

2096
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:22,800
Speaker 25: manager of Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga. Zabi Alonso

2097
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 25: was being targeted to replace him, but it seems they've

2098
01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:28,479
Speaker 25: taken a bit of a blow reports coming out on

2099
01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:34,800
Speaker 25: Thursday that Zabi probably intends to remain in Germany at Leeferkusen,

2100
01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:39,240
Speaker 25: So no hope there and their search will continue. And

2101
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:42,759
Speaker 25: turning our attention to that next match on Sunday, Manchester

2102
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 25: City hosting Arsenal. Yes, we are going to have a

2103
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:50,759
Speaker 25: showdown between number one and number three in the Premier

2104
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:54,639
Speaker 25: League table. Should be a really fascinating one. Whoever wins

2105
01:47:54,720 --> 01:47:58,400
Speaker 25: this a great chance to really gain pole position in

2106
01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:01,920
Speaker 25: the race, and you know, depending on how Liverpool is

2107
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:05,080
Speaker 25: able to handle Brighton and Hove Albion keep pace at

2108
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:07,759
Speaker 25: the top of the table. This is not a great

2109
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:11,960
Speaker 25: spot however, from Manchester City to be in right now.

2110
01:48:12,400 --> 01:48:15,840
Speaker 25: Pep Pardiola, in the words of McKell Arteta, the Arsenal manager,

2111
01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 25: is probably one of the greatest coaches out there. However,

2112
01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:21,719
Speaker 25: even he is going to be pressed with the amount

2113
01:48:21,800 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 25: of walking wounded that Manchester City has on their side

2114
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 25: right now, especially coming back from the international break. This

2115
01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 25: is also a really tested time for man City. This

2116
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:35,160
Speaker 25: is going to be the third of four matches in

2117
01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:38,720
Speaker 25: a row where City has faced top six opposition. They

2118
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 25: played Manchester United three to one, they drew one to

2119
01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:45,000
Speaker 25: one with Liverpool. But pressing more than any of that,

2120
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:49,280
Speaker 25: than any kind of exhaustion, is the amount of injuries

2121
01:48:49,360 --> 01:48:52,720
Speaker 25: that they are dealing with right now. And the international

2122
01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:55,800
Speaker 25: break was not kind to Manchester City. Three of their

2123
01:48:55,880 --> 01:48:59,839
Speaker 25: players all picked up injuries while away with their respective countries.

2124
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:03,000
Speaker 25: I believe it was Kyle Walker, Johnstones and Manuela Kanji

2125
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:07,559
Speaker 25: and you know lob that on top of Kevin de Bruyne,

2126
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:10,320
Speaker 25: one of their great players. And concerns that we might

2127
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:15,200
Speaker 25: not see Jack Grealish or Nunez at this match as well,

2128
01:49:15,880 --> 01:49:19,240
Speaker 25: and finally Bernie an update for our friends at Wrexham

2129
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 25: in the EFL League Two, back in the promotion hopes

2130
01:49:23,080 --> 01:49:28,600
Speaker 25: again beating Man's Field Town on Friday to nil a

2131
01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:32,839
Speaker 25: Brasom's goals by their superstar Paul Mullen, who was a massive,

2132
01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:36,080
Speaker 25: massive reason why Rexham was able to come up from

2133
01:49:36,120 --> 01:49:40,320
Speaker 25: the National League to the EFL League Two. And the

2134
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:43,840
Speaker 25: man started the season injured. He remember he got injured

2135
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:47,720
Speaker 25: during the preseason in a very scary moment. But good

2136
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 25: to see Mullen back on the field and carrying Wrexham.

2137
01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:54,240
Speaker 25: The Stars of welcome to Rexham hopefully to hire and

2138
01:49:54,520 --> 01:49:58,000
Speaker 25: hire Loftier Heights. If they can get into the promotion

2139
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 25: for League One, all that it remains between them in

2140
01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:05,200
Speaker 25: the Premier League would be that season and a season

2141
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:08,439
Speaker 25: in the EFL Championship. It would be something for the

2142
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:10,560
Speaker 25: ages and we'll have to keep an eye on it

2143
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:12,600
Speaker 25: and we have a lot of Premier League action, a

2144
01:50:12,680 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 25: lot of action around Europe. MLS keep it right here.

2145
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:18,639
Speaker 25: We'll continue to break down more of it next week

2146
01:50:18,840 --> 01:50:19,840
Speaker 25: on the World of Soccer.

2147
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:20,960
Speaker 13: We have it.

2148
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 2: Christopher FETs World of Soccer and with the games back

2149
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 2: on the pitch. Well, it only opens the store for

2150
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:29,920
Speaker 2: more controversy in believing there's never any shortage of it

2151
01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:34,080
Speaker 2: in the world of soccer. Coming up, we wrap up

2152
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:38,960
Speaker 2: the show, we repreview Saturday Show and we revisit a

2153
01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 2: formula that is predicted nineteen of the last twenty one

2154
01:50:45,160 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 2: champions in the NCAA basketball tournament. Well, share it with you,

2155
01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 2: because if you've been eliminated, but there's still a couple

2156
01:50:53,560 --> 01:50:57,599
Speaker 2: very much alive. I'm Bernie Fraderwick Company, live from Las Vegas,

2160
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:11,680
Speaker 2: coming to you live from the Tarak dot Com studios

2161
01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:17,560
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Before I go any further, I

2162
01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:21,200
Speaker 2: want to thank my broadcast team back in Los Angeles.

2163
01:51:21,240 --> 01:51:25,720
Speaker 2: They've been with me since eleven pm Pacific on Friday night.

2164
01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:29,719
Speaker 2: Kevin figures on all the updates, and of course Mark Ramsey,

2165
01:51:30,280 --> 01:51:33,920
Speaker 2: our technical producer, turning all the dials, keeping us clue together.

2166
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:39,439
Speaker 2: In Roddy, our executive producer, answered all the phones tonight

2167
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:43,040
Speaker 2: thanks to all the callers as well, another rousing full

2168
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:46,559
Speaker 2: full hour plus of the midnight hours. We chopped up

2169
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:50,840
Speaker 2: the Caitlin Clark situation as well as the Shoheal tiny

2170
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:53,720
Speaker 2: situation could comments by the crew as well, a lot

2171
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:56,800
Speaker 2: of provoking, thought provoking stuff. I don't think they're going

2172
01:51:56,840 --> 01:52:01,080
Speaker 2: to be any answers anytime soon. I don't plan on

2173
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:05,000
Speaker 2: revisiting this Saturday night as I don't know that there

2174
01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 2: are any new developments. I don't think they're going to

2175
01:52:08,040 --> 01:52:10,280
Speaker 2: be any for a long time. But I'll be back

2176
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:15,240
Speaker 2: on these airwaves here in a little what twenty two

2177
01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 2: hours thereabouts, And look were often running in this ROCKEUS

2178
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament. We've got some interesting matchups still decide to

2179
01:52:27,080 --> 01:52:29,920
Speaker 2: get to the final four. The NBA Playoffs are just

2180
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:33,519
Speaker 2: around the corner, and of course Major League Baseball's with us,

2181
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:35,400
Speaker 2: and you know, Mark Medino will join us Saturday night,

2182
01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:38,720
Speaker 2: by the way, real quickly. The NBA Playoffs are set

2183
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:43,680
Speaker 2: to start in about seventeen days, and you get you

2184
01:52:44,040 --> 01:52:47,559
Speaker 2: sort of take your after ball during the NCAA tournament.

2185
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, it's a lot more heated this year,

2186
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 2: I believe as it pertains to the NBA's playing tournament,

2187
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:59,040
Speaker 2: and pretty soon the seventh and eight seeds and both

2188
01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:02,559
Speaker 2: conferences will be just And as you recall, there are

2189
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,639
Speaker 2: you know, four teams in each conference, the seventh through

2190
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:08,160
Speaker 2: the ten seeds, they will make they will comprise the

2191
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 2: playing tournament. Look, we got some big names in the West.

2192
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:13,559
Speaker 2: You got Phoenix sitting there. You've got Golden State sitting there,

2193
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:16,720
Speaker 2: you got the Lakers sitting there. These are big, big

2194
01:53:16,840 --> 01:53:22,080
Speaker 2: time matchups, right, and the top six seeds automatically qualifying

2195
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:26,280
Speaker 2: for playoff spots. But the and eighth place teams they

2196
01:53:26,320 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 2: got to sink for their supper. The seventh and eighth

2197
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:31,000
Speaker 2: place teams will play each other. The winner of that

2198
01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:36,320
Speaker 2: game will get the number seven seed. Meanwhile, the ninth

2199
01:53:36,360 --> 01:53:39,360
Speaker 2: and tenth place teams they'll face each other in another game,

2200
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:43,000
Speaker 2: and the loser of that game is pretty much out.

2201
01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:47,280
Speaker 2: The winner of the nine to ten game will place

2202
01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:50,120
Speaker 2: the play the loser of the seven to eight seed,

2203
01:53:50,520 --> 01:53:52,760
Speaker 2: and the winner of that gets the number eighth seed.

2204
01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:55,160
Speaker 2: So if you're in the nine or ten spot and

2205
01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:58,080
Speaker 2: you gotta win two games, if you're in the seventh

2206
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:00,560
Speaker 2: and eighth, you win that playing game in your you

2207
01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:02,719
Speaker 2: lose it, you got a second fight at the Apple.

2208
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:04,680
Speaker 2: You got to play the winner of the nine to

2209
01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:07,640
Speaker 2: ten game, so you kind of handicap the rest of

2210
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:10,240
Speaker 2: the NBA seasons. Remember to know what the real fights

2211
01:54:10,280 --> 01:54:13,160
Speaker 2: can be for The number six seed in each conference

2212
01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:17,519
Speaker 2: says that's the for sure invite to the NBA playoffs.

2213
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:21,719
Speaker 2: That's not automatic, all right. We talked about this last

2214
01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:25,280
Speaker 2: week and the week before. There has been a formula

2215
01:54:26,360 --> 01:54:31,000
Speaker 2: that has predicted the March Madness winner nineteen of the

2216
01:54:31,080 --> 01:54:34,680
Speaker 2: last twenty one years, and it goes like this. There

2217
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:41,640
Speaker 2: are seven characteristics. A first one, you are either number one,

2218
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:44,080
Speaker 2: a number two, or a number three seed from a

2219
01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:50,080
Speaker 2: major Power five conference. The second characteristic, of again the

2220
01:54:50,200 --> 01:54:52,960
Speaker 2: formula that's predicted the March Madness winner nineteen to the

2221
01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:56,280
Speaker 2: last twenty one years, your team during the regular season

2222
01:54:56,720 --> 01:55:01,000
Speaker 2: averaged north of seventy four points a game. Number three,

2223
01:55:02,080 --> 01:55:04,080
Speaker 2: the team that won it nineteen to the last twenty

2224
01:55:04,120 --> 01:55:07,680
Speaker 2: one years, allowed less than seventy three points per game.

2225
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:12,760
Speaker 2: Number four, you owned a scoring average margin of greater

2226
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:15,560
Speaker 2: than seven points per game. So not only did you win,

2227
01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 2: of course, you had a winning record, but to cumulative scores.

2228
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:23,080
Speaker 2: You had an average margin of victory of seven points

2229
01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:27,240
Speaker 2: or more average margin scoring per game. Number five, you

2230
01:55:27,320 --> 01:55:30,720
Speaker 2: faced the top seventy five schedule. Number six, you had

2231
01:55:30,760 --> 01:55:36,320
Speaker 2: a coach with six or more tournament appearances and coach

2232
01:55:36,360 --> 01:55:40,920
Speaker 2: at least won a Leite eight game. Seven, You were

2233
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 2: either in the NCAA attorney the year before, or you

2234
01:55:45,760 --> 01:55:49,240
Speaker 2: have an All American player on your roster. Those seven

2235
01:55:49,360 --> 01:55:55,000
Speaker 2: characteristics predicted nineteen of the last twenty one INCA champions

2236
01:55:55,200 --> 01:55:57,760
Speaker 2: Real quickly, I go through him again. You were number one, two,

2237
01:55:57,840 --> 01:56:00,320
Speaker 2: or three seed from a major conference, Part five conference.

2238
01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:03,240
Speaker 2: You averaged seventy four points a game or greater. You

2239
01:56:03,360 --> 01:56:06,480
Speaker 2: allowed seventy three points or game or less. You owned

2240
01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 2: an average scoring margin of seven points or greater points

2241
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:13,360
Speaker 2: per game. You faced the top seventy five schedule. You

2242
01:56:13,480 --> 01:56:16,600
Speaker 2: had a coach with six or more NCAA tournament appearances

2243
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:20,320
Speaker 2: and coached at least one Elite eight game. And finally,

2244
01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:24,360
Speaker 2: your team was either in the tournament the year before,

2245
01:56:25,120 --> 01:56:27,360
Speaker 2: or you have an All American player one or the other.

2246
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 2: The qualifying teams this year were many, but Arizona is

2247
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:36,240
Speaker 2: now gone, Baylor is now gone, Creighton has now gone,

2248
01:56:36,320 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 2: Iowa State's gone, Marquete's gone, North Carolina's gone. There are

2249
01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:45,960
Speaker 2: two remign Yukon and Purdue. Those two schools fall into

2250
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:49,960
Speaker 2: those categories that have predicted nineteen to the last twenty one.

2251
01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:53,280
Speaker 2: Now I mentioned nineteen to the last twenty one. Well,

2252
01:56:53,320 --> 01:56:56,880
Speaker 2: who were the two outlier schools? Yukon both times in

2253
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:01,280
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen and again in twenty twenty three, because obviously

2254
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:05,200
Speaker 2: last year, Danny Hurley, he won the championship in twenty

2255
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:07,280
Speaker 2: twenty three, but he hadn't been in six He hadn't

2256
01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:09,920
Speaker 2: coached in six tournament appearances or been in the league

2257
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:13,120
Speaker 2: eight game before. Speaking of that, you know what you're

2258
01:57:13,160 --> 01:57:15,760
Speaker 2: gonna hear about next. And I wasn't sure if I

2259
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:19,000
Speaker 2: wanted to go down this rabbit hole. But you're hearing

2260
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:22,760
Speaker 2: more and more momentum that the NCAA Tournament might get

2261
01:57:22,800 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 2: an adjustment. I wouldn't call it an overhaul, But according

2262
01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:31,040
Speaker 2: to college basketball guru Kenpom, he thinks that the tournament

2263
01:57:31,160 --> 01:57:32,960
Speaker 2: is going to expand to eighty teams, or he thinks

2264
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:35,920
Speaker 2: it should expand to eighty teams, says ninety six. Now,

2265
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,000
Speaker 2: that would water it down too much. But if you

2266
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:41,240
Speaker 2: expand it to eighty, all the lower large teams would

2267
01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:42,960
Speaker 2: play in the first round, and the next round all

2268
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 2: the automatic bids could get buys, with some matt large

2269
01:57:46,320 --> 01:57:47,760
Speaker 2: teams getting a buye as well. With a round of

2270
01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:52,400
Speaker 2: sixty four, that would still incentivize the regular season even more,

2271
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:54,840
Speaker 2: according to ken Palm. He says, because if you're going

2272
01:57:54,920 --> 01:57:57,960
Speaker 2: to expand the tournament, and if you do it responsively

2273
01:57:58,120 --> 01:57:59,960
Speaker 2: and not just give a tenth place team from the

2274
01:58:00,120 --> 01:58:02,520
Speaker 2: Big Ten to buy to the round of sixty four,

2275
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:06,440
Speaker 2: well then you incentivize the regular season in certain teams.

2276
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:08,720
Speaker 2: And if you do that, the event's still going to

2277
01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:12,839
Speaker 2: be crazy popular, right. And you know they just recently

2278
01:58:12,960 --> 01:58:15,800
Speaker 2: expanded the college football Playoff. They're jumping all the way

2279
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:18,320
Speaker 2: to fourteen teams in twenty twenty six. We haven't even

2280
01:58:18,360 --> 01:58:20,200
Speaker 2: done the twelve team tournament yet. We got two years

2281
01:58:20,240 --> 01:58:23,080
Speaker 2: of that. So you're going to see that the SEC

2282
01:58:23,200 --> 01:58:24,400
Speaker 2: and the Big Ten are going to be getting more

2283
01:58:24,440 --> 01:58:29,240
Speaker 2: money from the deal in any tournament. Expansion for basketball

2284
01:58:29,360 --> 01:58:33,040
Speaker 2: would certainly do the same and generate more revenue. So

2285
01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:36,879
Speaker 2: the question begs, will you be seeing March Madness expand

2286
01:58:36,960 --> 01:58:41,160
Speaker 2: in the near future? Smart people say yes, you can

2287
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:44,520
Speaker 2: bet on it. I'll be back on these airwaves Saturday night,

2288
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:47,480
Speaker 2: eleven pm Pacific. We're diving back into March madness. We're

2289
01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:51,160
Speaker 2: closing in the final four NBA playoffs right around the corner,

2290
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:54,000
Speaker 2: and of course, brand new additions, fresh new editions of

2291
01:58:54,520 --> 01:58:57,280
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool of you and what
