1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 2: Final hour on this Meet Friday, morale has been very high.

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: It was a sad day on Tuesday, and I said,

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: let's lift our spirits here, Let's lift all boats in

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: the water here, and it's a meat Friday to remember.

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: Dylan did a great job. We ordered all of this

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: on Monday thinking we'd be nominated for a Sports Emmy

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. Then we didn't get nominated, and Dylan had

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: already committed to Chicago hot dogs, chili dogs, crab dip

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: hot dogs, ballpark nachos, sausage and peppers, peanuts, cracker jacks,

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 2: and also those little batting helmets with ice cream in it.

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: Who has it better than we do?

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 3: No body get some.

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: More phone calls coming up. Also the curious case of

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: who is the Iceman? Because Caleb Williams filed a trademark

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: that he wants to be known as the Iceman. There's

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: a little bit of a problem with that. We'll have

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: that for you. Eight seven seven three DP show email

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: address dpat Danpatrick dot com. Just heard from will Ferrell.

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: He said that he would be busy when I die

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: and would not be able to do my eulity. He's out, yes,

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: so that means Adam Sandler the stage is yours. I

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: don't want to get Nicky Glazer because I think that

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 2: she would be roasting me a little too much. Sandman

26
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: would probably do that. Maybe a song. Get Darius Rucker

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: sing a song.

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how we stumbled on this morbid topic,

30
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: but we did. Robbie Hommel, NCAANB analysts for NBC, CBS,

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: Turner Big Ten Net, You're probably listening to all of

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: this going, what the hell are they talking about? Robbie

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: part of the broadcast team last night for Iowa and Nebraska,

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: Houston and Illinois. Thanks for joining us. I know you

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: had a late night. At what point do you realize

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: Nebraska has four players on the floor.

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 4: Well, first off, I you know, you did arrest Adam

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: Sandler the longest yard, so he may have something to

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 4: say about that for the eulogy. But I realized that

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: when coach Van Gundy pointed out. Honestly, I was in

41
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 4: the middle of a thought and then I just was like,

42
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: oh my god, he's wide open, and that's you know,

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 4: coach with the eyes right there. He saw that, and

44
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: that was a great catch by him. I don't think Dan,

45
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 4: I'd ever seen in a high major college or you know,

46
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: NBA at this level, I've never seen four guys on

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: the floor all of a time out that that was shocking.

48
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: Okay, but give me accountability for something like that. How

49
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: does that happen with coaches, assistant coaches and the players themselves.

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: Well, you see now in these broadcasts where there will

51
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 4: be an assistant coach with a board and there will

52
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: be five names on it with five numbers, and that's

53
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: who you're guarding. I can only imagine that it's just

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: a total miscommunication where coach puts somebody in and that

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: guy's now paying attention, and then you get to the

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: floor and break Mast was sort of standing up and

57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: trying to get in the game. But I just think

58
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: it's on both. You know, it's on the players to listen,

59
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 4: it's on the coaches to double check, and it's just

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 4: a it's a total failure all the way around in

61
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: that situation.

62
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: Does the official can he play a role in this

63
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: to say to coach, hey, you only got four on

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: the floor.

65
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: Can that That is a good point right there, And

66
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 4: a lot of those you'll see the officials in all

67
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 4: of these games where they're counting guys to make sure

68
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: there's not six, And I'm sure that a lot of

69
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: officials would say to that bench, hey, you've got four

70
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: guys out here. Yeah, that's that's a great point. But

71
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 4: that's definitely a better question for a guy that has

72
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 4: refereed in the NCAA tournament games than for me. But yeah,

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: that's that's a really good point.

74
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: But you get penalized for six. You don't get penalized

75
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: for four. Correct, correct, You just get scored on. How

76
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: good is Yeah, that's true. How good is Iowa?

77
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: I think they're good, and I think they're playing their

78
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: best basketball at the right time. You know, for so

79
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 4: much of the season it's been well, it's it's been

80
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: at starts and it's just kind of everybody else And

81
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 4: can he get enough help? And his usage is so

82
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: high and his minutes are so high, he's just having

83
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: to do so much. But whether it's full Garis and

84
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: in the Florida game with the shot, or even last night,

85
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: he was tremendous and in a number of ways, Tate Sage,

86
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: you know, Tavian Banks in the in the Florida game,

87
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 4: had twenty that they've gotten contributions from some other guys,

88
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 4: and they they're just so well coached, like Ben McCollum.

89
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: Is an incredible story of winning everywhere and scheming and

90
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 4: the attention to detail. You go to a practice, they're

91
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 4: they're working on stuff that is so you know, like

92
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 4: minute and just hey, I don't want you here, I

93
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: want you to be a step to the left, or

94
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: the footwork needs to be this, like just things that

95
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of people are, even a lot

96
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: of players and coaches would probably let slide. He's not

97
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 4: letting slide. That dude is on it with the details.

98
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: Illinois surprised me. I know they're a really good team.

99
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: I know they got the players from the Bulkans, but

100
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 2: that defense, I mean, Houston's not a high scoring team,

101
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 2: but still you held them to fifty five in a

102
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: home game. Yeah, that one surprised me a lot.

103
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 4: How about you? Well, and yes, because I saw Illinois

104
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: in February and they were giving up ninety points to

105
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 4: seemingly it felt like everybody. The problem has never been

106
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: offense for Illinois. It has been the defensive side of

107
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 4: the floor. I thought VCU could give them some problems

108
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 4: because I saw them in the A Ten championship game

109
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: and they had dynamic guards, they had some shooting on

110
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 4: the perimeter. It's like, all right, that's going to be

111
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 4: a tough cover. And they overwhelmed them. And they kind

112
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: of did the same thing with Houston, and not just

113
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 4: the home game, but like Milos Uzan and Emmanuel Sharp

114
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: and Jojo Tuckler played the national championship game last year,

115
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 4: So you have the home environment, you've got experienced players,

116
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 4: you've got probably two lottery pick freshmen, and they just

117
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 4: kept them stuck in the mud all night long. And

118
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 4: Illinois's got the positional size and right now they're guarding

119
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: at a high level, and we know they could score

120
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 4: like they're a scary team if they're going to guard.

121
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: Like this is the Big Ten of basketball conference or

122
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: a football conference.

123
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 4: I guess. We've won the last three national championships with

124
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: the Big Ten, so I guess football. But this is

125
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 4: quite the season for the Big Ten in basketball, and

126
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 4: certainly the just the overarching story of no national championships

127
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: from two thousand and on, with tom Izzo being the

128
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: last to do it. Maybe this is the year to

129
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: break out of that. But you know, we'll see there's

130
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: some really good teams left from other conferences, but the

131
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 4: Big Ten has had a great season. And you know,

132
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 4: we were laughing yesterday that Nebraska and Indiana have like

133
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: flip places. The Nebraska basketball team is all of a

134
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 4: sudden in the second weekend. In Indiana football is a

135
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 4: national champion. That is hard to believe for childhood me.

136
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: Robbie Hommel in caa NBA analyst for NBC, you were

137
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: second round pick in the draft in twenty twelve. Yeah,

138
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: I was, yes, Yes, Did you have an NBA moment?

139
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: I think you have to share.

140
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have a good one. So my this is

141
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: like the second or third game. You know, We're playing

142
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: the Thunder in the target center and Kevin Durant is

143
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 4: off to a tough start. Corey Brewer is guarding him

144
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 4: and he's doing a good job. Like Durant missed some

145
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: shots that he normally makes early on and he misses

146
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 4: one and the ball gets knocked out of bounce. I'm

147
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 4: sitting next to Gorgy Dane, who ended up having a

148
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 4: really good NBA career played at Louisville. We're both rookies.

149
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: At the same time. Gorgy makes the mistake of clapping

150
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: and yelling good d Brew, and Durant hears him and

151
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 4: this is the clean version, but he goes, it wasn't

152
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 4: good d Brew, it was bad fricking shot. Kevin. It's like,

153
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 4: man's that's pretty good. Comeback there. Durant gets the ball.

154
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: We're up eight points, and he drills a three and

155
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: stares down the bench the whole way and we missed.

156
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 4: They come back down, same thing. Durant gets the ball,

157
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 4: drills en up so our a point lead is now too,

158
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: and the whole way down he is tractor beam on

159
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: Gorgy Dang like literally just staring him down. We miss again.

160
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: They come down, there's like a foul or a ball

161
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: out of bounds. He comes over and Kevin Durant verbally

162
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 4: of viscerates Gorgy. I don't know who you are. I

163
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 4: don't know where you played in college. I've never heard

164
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: of you. You'll I don't know how you'll ever play

165
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: in this league. And in my mind, and Gorgey's like,

166
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 4: you don't want to know me, you don't want like

167
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: he just know what to say. Jack Sigma is one

168
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 4: of our assistant coaches, the legendary Jack Sikma He's screaming

169
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 4: at Gorgy stop talking to Kevin Durant, and I'm like,

170
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: thank god, I didn't say anything. Durant gets the ball

171
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: literally step back, fade away, three drills, it beats his chest. Gouse, Man,

172
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 4: I'm a bad man. You'll ever forget it. And I'm like,

173
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 4: oh my god, like this is a whole other level.

174
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: But then you fast forward like a month and I'm playing,

175
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: and I will never forget this. We're I've like moved

176
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 4: into the rotation a little bit, and we got some

177
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 4: injuries and we've got some real foul trouble. Corey Burwer

178
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: gets his second file and I remember thinking like, man,

179
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: if he gets his third, I think it's I think

180
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 4: it's going to be me. And he's guarded Durant. And

181
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: as soon as I thought that literally filed Corey's coming out.

182
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: I will never forget looking at the floor and Rick

183
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 4: Adam and goes, Rob, you got him, and literally I

184
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: sub in. There's like two and a half minutes to

185
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: go in the first quarter, and me and Kevin Durant

186
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 4: played one on one in front of seventeen thousand of

187
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 4: the tar. He started bringing the ball up literally every

188
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 4: time clear out Iso. It was like, it was horrifying

189
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: because you're, like, dude, it's got seven foot tall, two guard,

190
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 4: unbelievable player, Hall of Fame player, top you know, ten, fifteen, whatever,

191
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: and you're just at his mercy. It was terrifying.

192
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: Is he unguardable?

193
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he can get to his pull up whenever

194
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 4: he wants, you know, like he's he's just from whether

195
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 4: it's playing pick and roll, get into the elbows. She

196
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 4: would just pull up. He's an incredible player. I love

197
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: watching Kevin Durant play. I'm such a fan.

198
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: All right, so what do you force him to do?

199
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: Well? I followed him on a three. That was a

200
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: good start, and then I actually got some stops. But Dan,

201
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 4: I promise you it was not because it was good Decesse.

202
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 4: He just missed a couple. But the NBA, like everybody

203
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 4: is so good, you know, Like, and I've played all

204
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 4: over the world. I played in Russia, I played in Italy,

205
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: I played in Spain. I played two years in the NBA.

206
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: But like, just the talent level in the NBA for

207
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 4: all four hundred and fifty guys is truly remarkable. When

208
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 4: you're there.

209
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: Well, you were first team All Big ten what three times?

210
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, But I blow my knee out twice my

211
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: junior year and came back as a senior, and I

212
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,479
Speaker 4: certainly was trying to kind of figure my way back physically.

213
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 4: And I played my rookie year in Spain, and then

214
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: two years of Minnesota, I played for Georgia Romani's team

215
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 4: in Italy, so we had good uniform, did a lot

216
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 4: of midelining, and then I was I was cut by

217
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 4: the Nuggets. I was last cut and I went to

218
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: Moscow and played the year, which was an adventure in itself.

219
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 2: What does adventure mean in Moscow?

220
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 4: Well, there's just corruption. There's just a rampant corruption throughout

221
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 4: the games. There's probably some of that, like the officiating.

222
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 4: I think teams are trying to avoid. Chesca was like

223
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 4: the best team, they have the biggest budget. You know,

224
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 4: everybody's trying to avoid Chesca. That really my best overseas

225
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 4: European story. Our team had signed Alexi s Fed, who

226
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: I the reason I went I'm cut by the Nuggets.

227
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 4: Alexi was my teammate and I sat with him really

228
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 4: on all the planes in Minnesota. We'd sit together the flights,

229
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 4: and so when I got cut, this team makes me

230
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: an offer. And Alexi had left the I think it

231
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: was Philly. He was out of the NBA. He goes back.

232
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 4: He's the highest paid player in Europe this year. So

233
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 4: I talked to him. I'm like, how is it. He's like, yeah,

234
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 4: it's great. You know, he's living at home. He's the

235
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: highest big guy and you're up. He shooting like, you know,

236
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: twenty times a game, and so for him it's great.

237
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 4: And they signed Jacob Polham, who if you remember at

238
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: Kansas State. They got Marco Brown who was in the

239
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 4: NBA for the nets and he was out, and then

240
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 4: they brought him in, a guy named e. J. Rowland

241
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: who played at Saint Mary's, and then Jeremy Evans from

242
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: the NBA. So they signed all these NBA guys because

243
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 4: they're the team had been relegated from euro League to

244
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: euro Cup. It's kind of like soccer where you're playing

245
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 4: in the Russian League, but you're also playing a second

246
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 4: game during the week and you're playing in a euro

247
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 4: Cup or Earleague game. So the way to get back

248
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 4: to euro League is that you have to either win

249
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 4: euro Cup, which we don't. We lose in the quarterfinals

250
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 4: in Valencia, or you make the finals. So some of

251
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 4: the corruption I'm talking about like teams. If you're the

252
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: four of the five and you've got CHESSCA in the semis,

253
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 4: there's no way you're going to beat them because they've

254
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: got the biggest budget. They're kind of like the national

255
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: team of Russia. So we end up playing our first

256
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: round series in Siberia. We're the two seed, we're inside.

257
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: We've sweep them, and then we play in the semifinals.

258
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: The team from Saint Petersburg. Five game series. They've got

259
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: Trevor and Bachway who played at Minnesota, Aaron White who

260
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 4: played at Iowa, and some of these guys swear that

261
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 4: Game five was fixed. I need to go back and

262
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: watch and see. But we lose the first two, win

263
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 4: the next two. Decisive Game five in Saint Petersburg. Our

264
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 4: owner who's like an oligard, comes in the locker room

265
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 4: fifty minutes before the game, and at this point I'm like, dude,

266
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 4: I'm going to retire if we lose. I don't care

267
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 4: because I want to leave so bad. I just I'm

268
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: over this. I hate being here. I'm ready to go home.

269
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: Owner comes in the locker room and goes guys, this

270
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 4: is the biggest game in franchise history. You win tonight,

271
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: I'll pay each of you one hundred thousand US dollars

272
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 4: for my safe and if you win the final two

273
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 4: fifty more. So I went from I hope we lose them,

274
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 4: we gotta win, like we have to win this game.

275
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 4: We end up winning. It's controversial finish some of our

276
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 4: Russian players who aren't being paid but all that much,

277
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 4: or like hugging on the court we won the Semis

278
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 4: like hugging like we won the NBA Finals. The crazy

279
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 4: thing though about this story is that a couple of

280
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 4: days later, we have a lunch at the owners. He's

281
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 4: got like a twenty story office building in Moscow, and

282
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 4: he's got a really nice restaurant in the first floor,

283
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 4: and the spreads incredible. You're filet, mignon, lobster or whatever

284
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 4: you want, They've they've got it there. And the owner

285
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: literally says, like Joe, He's kind of like says it laughing,

286
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 4: but it's not a joke. He goes, man, the funny

287
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 4: thing is, I paid the rest to get a fair whistle.

288
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: So he admits to bribing the rest, which I'm sure

289
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 4: the other team was doing too. And then he points

290
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 4: to the corner of the room and he literally says,

291
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: all right, I got where you guys came from. Let's

292
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: win the final. We'll do this again. And he lined

293
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 4: us up like we were third graders and literally doled

294
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 4: out one hundred thousand cash in bags and just handed

295
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: them and doled them out fifteen times. And literally we

296
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 4: all had drivers. My driver was Roman, spoke no English,

297
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: we could only talk on Google Translate. I get in

298
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: the car and he's like, what's in the back. I'm like,

299
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 4: we're gonna get carjacks, all of us. We're going to

300
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 4: get carjacked there. And the craziest thing Dan is that

301
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: we had to go to practice. There was one point

302
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 4: five million dollars in cash in the locker room. Well,

303
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 4: we practiced, and the next year some guy during a

304
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: game walked in that same locker room and stole everything, wallets, money, watches, everything.

305
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: So like, luckily he didn't take that day because he

306
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 4: would have he would have left with a good haul.

307
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, Russia's there's a lot going on there, a

308
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 4: lot going on there.

309
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: Talking to Robbie Hummel, TNT CBS basketball analyst, Sorry, what

310
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: happens tonight.

311
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: Well, who's playing. The thing is when you do the

312
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: tournament that they do in Saint John's.

313
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 5: Who else we got Michigan State, Connecticut. Michigan State Connecticut. Yeah,

314
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 5: that'll be interesting because Connecticut has has certainly had moments,

315
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 5: but they've been so up and down, and you know,

316
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 5: for a lot of the other defense was really good,

317
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 5: but then they went through a loll and their.

318
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 4: Offense is better. That's about toughness. You know, who can

319
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: be the tougher team when you play tom as those

320
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 4: basketball teams, whether it's when I was playing or when

321
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 4: the team Claves is playing or in today's era. It's

322
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 4: all about rebounding, in fringes and defense. And the funny

323
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 4: thing is I can give you the scout and report

324
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 4: in seven and it would be relevant, you know today

325
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six and for you kind of Taris

326
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 4: Reid is definitely the X factor. For me, I just

327
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 4: think he's one of those guys. When he's playing well,

328
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 4: they're hard to handle because their guard player is good.

329
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 4: Caravans the ultimate winner. So if Terras Reid can hang

330
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 4: in there against those Michigan State bigs and the wave

331
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: of bigs they're going to throw him. That would go

332
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 4: a long way.

333
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: Thanks for sharing. You're doing a great job and people

334
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,960

Speaker 4: Yea.

365
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 2: The numbers tonight Duke by six and a half over

366
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: Saint John's, Michigan by eight and a half over Alabama,

367
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,000

368
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: Yukon minus one and a half against Michigan State. Uh,

369
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 2: let's see. Somebody was asking me if Seattle's gonna get

370
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: the franchise expansion franchise. They still own Sonics, it seems

371
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: like they would want to, you know, re embrace the

372
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: Seattle's super songs. But what about Vegas because this is

373
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: truly an expansion team. So what is the name the

374
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: nickname for Vegas going to be. I don't know if

375
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: anybody's seen any names out there, but I don't know.

376
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: I guess you're gonna play off gambling. You're gonna play

377
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: off cards? I don't know.

378
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, pauling the Golden Knights the hockey team, what's that

379
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 8: based off.

380
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: Of the owner? I think went to West Point and

381
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: it's about the Golden Knights of West Point.

382
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 8: I could see the NBA, even in this gambling era,

383
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 8: trying to avoid anything racy for lack of a better word,

384
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 8: with the name of the team, like, uh, the high Rollers.

385
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: Well you have the Aces of the w NBA. Okay,

386
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: but and that's a that's a good You don't want

387
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 2: to be the joke. Somebody suggested the Jokers. I go, no, no,

388
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: you don't want your team calling being called jokers. But

389
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: then you have to trade for joker and get him

390
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: in there.

391
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 8: You don't want the Las Vegas Dealers. That's a lot

392
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 8: of You.

393
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: Don't want the Vegas Craps, right, brought to you by

394
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:57,760

Speaker 2: Vegas expansion franchise?

398
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 9: The dice could do all kinds of things with two

399
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 9: dice and light it up and do all kinds of

400
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 9: I think marketing things with a pair of.

401
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: Dice, right, the Veggas dice, Yes, Mart.

402

Speaker 7: This may be frisk Fritzy esque. The show Boys.

403
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: The show Boys sounds weird. That sounds like some creepy

Speaker 2: website you're on.

405
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,160

Speaker 2: Las Vegas.

00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 3: Gentleman's Club like they have the Washington Commander's Club.

409
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: We were talking about real names, Todd.

410
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 9: I think they're gonna be fun, though, But Adam sil

411
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 9: already gotta next one of those things.

412
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: Recently. Can't do the.

413
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 9: Magic City things, so we definitely can't call it the

414
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 9: Las Vegas Gentleman's No.

415
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: No, I can't do Olympic Garden or anything like that.

416
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: Good Times, The Spearman Rhino.

417
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Rhinos, yes, Mark.

418
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 7: Maybe something like from one of their old XFL the

419
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 7: Outlaws or something like that.

420
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 2: I don't know, I haven't seen any names.

421
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 8: And yes, Pauline, I've got kind of a Rando betting site.

422
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 8: They have the Mirage, the Jokers, the Outlaws, the Scorpions,

423
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 8: the Venom, the Diamonds, the Diamonds.

424
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that, Yeah, I should have been for the

425
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: Las Vegas A's right, the diamonds, Las Vegas diamonds, the

426
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 2: ex calibers.

427
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 7: Thanks so yes, Marvin for me and Paulie. More important

428
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 7: than anything team colors, Like, hmm, what do you.

429
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 8: Do because you can't look like the Brooklyn Nets with

430
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 8: black and white. Oh, no, one will confuse you because

431
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 8: nobody watches the nets.

432
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: But then are the Oakland A's the Vegas A's are

433
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: they going to continue their green and gold colors? I'm

434
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: guessing the Raiders kept their colors, yeah, PAULI based.

435
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 8: Off I got an article from Sports Business Journal. It's

436
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 8: just a speculative article that says they wouldn't be surprised

437
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 8: if they went a total different direction with their uniforms,

438
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 8: which allows them to do A's throwback weeks and nights

439
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 8: like most teams would do.

440
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

441
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 10: Part of the thing that's tricky for Las Vegas is

442
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 10: a lot of names that would be perfect for them

443
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 10: are already taken. So like, you have the magic that

444
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 10: would be great for Las Vegas already taken. The heat,

445
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 10: then the desert, oh that's already taken. The aces, well,

446
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 10: you already got an ass. The good names are already taken.

447
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 10: You could be like the Neons or something.

448
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 9: Yes, can they go into business with the sphere and

449
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 9: be the spheres and do something?

450
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: Maybe there's something marketing wise and you can ain't catching there.

451
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: Kind of a tough nickname. Let's go watch the Spears Outlaws.

452
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Golden Nuggets. You got the Denver Nuggets. You've

453
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 3: got the Golden Knights, the Golden Nuggets?

454
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 4: All right?

455
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 11: Do that?

456
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 4: I like that?

457
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: All right? Okay, you're rallying.

458
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 3: You probably wouldn't have the Golden nugget if you have

459
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 3: the Denver Nuggets, though, that'll.

460
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: Probably be a problem.

461
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: Good call, ton, It seems like.

462
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: I did, but you know it was better than the

463
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 2: other suggestions you had.

464
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: So now that I think about, you can't have two nuggets.

465
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: No, you can't.

466
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: I don't even if the Golden nugget even exists.

467
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: All right, Uh, Cuba in Arizona, Hi, Cuba, what's on

Speaker 11: a couple of corduroy hats man.

472
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, I'm getting I'm getting criticized for my corduroy.

Speaker 2: I'm giving you love. Okay, Oh well that's what I

Speaker 2: hate for my corduroy? M Baker and Bozeman.

476
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 12: Hi Baker, Hey, happy already speaking of your Cordroy love,

Speaker 12: see it. I'd like to offer that jacket up in

481
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 12: exchange for a game used ESPN tie. You said you've

482
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 12: got seventy five of them laying around doing nothing. How

483
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 12: about a swap?

484
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 4: All right, we'll do that.

485
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: Baker, thank you, Uh Zach and Knoxville. Hi Zach, thanks

486
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 2: for holding what's on your mind today.

487
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 4: Thanks for taking a call.

488
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 8: DP.

489
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 13: I always picture Marvin, you know, with the Jake Moskel

490
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 13: jersey on when he's up there at the Pearly Gates.

491
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 13: But I just wanted to ask you about that NBA expansion.

492
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 13: We already have quite a few teams that go into

493
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 13: the season and remain irrelevant. Do you think that it's

494
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 13: a good move to move into expansion right now?

495
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: Well, we've talked about that and we had Tracy McGrady

496
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 2: on he goes, I don't know if we have enough

497
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: players to expand, and he does make a really good

498
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: case there. I mean, if you look at some of

499
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: these rosters, then I could give you names and you'd go,

500
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: what sport that you know? They just wouldn't ring, they'd

501
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: ring hollow, and you'd be like, I have no idea

502
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: who that is. I follow it, and there are times

503
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: when I go, I have no idea who that guy

504
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 2: is or who he plays for.

505
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 4: I do not.

506
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 2: But man, you look at the money. It's between seven

507
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: and ten billion dollars. This is the entrance fee, and

508
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: that money will then go to the other owners. The

509
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 2: other owners are going to make probably somewhere around I

510
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: don't know, four hundred five hundred million dollars for not

511
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 2: doing anything. You imagine you show up one day and

512
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: you look in your bank account and it's got four

513
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars and you didn't do anything. Man,

514
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: great to be an owner Chris and Syracuse. Hi, Chris,

515
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?

516
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 4: Hey?

517
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 14: Thanks for getting me and Dan? Yeah, I got a

518
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 14: few things to throw at you, and also a possible

519
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 14: mock headline to be written on your casket. Yeah, I

520
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 14: guess Vegas can't go with because of the Chicago Bulls.

521
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 14: They can't go with the pit Bulls either. You were

522
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 14: talking about the Pirates center fielders. Non error. Now MLB

523
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 14: says it has to be a physical error, not a

524
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 14: judgment error. When your judgment tells you to put your

525
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 14: glove in a certain spot and the ball bounces off

526
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 14: the heel of your glove, that's an error. Just like

527
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 14: when your judgment tells you to run forward after a

528
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 14: ball instead of backwards. Running is a physical activity, it's

529
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 14: an error. And I have to disagree with Robbie Hummel

530
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 14: saying he's never seen a coach only having four players

531
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 14: on the floor. Let's not forget about that other Husker coach,

532
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 14: the legendary Normandale and Dan. You guys were talking about

533
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 14: having your funeral in the man Cave on your beloved

534
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 14: basketball court. The casket may read former Western Kentucky Hilltopper

535
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 14: finally passes.

536
00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 3: Nice.

537
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: It's Eastern Kentucky. We weren't even Western Kentucky. They were good.

538
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: They were Eastern Kentucky. It's very good. Thank you.

539
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 4: Chris.

540
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams has submitted four trademark applications related to the

541
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: name Iceman, a logo name and silhouettes that mimic Caleb

542
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: Williams poses he rolls left, jumps and completes a pass.

543
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 2: So George Gervin the Iceman. He has a problem with

544
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: this because he is filed for a trademark. He had

545
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: Iceman and Iceman forty four. That was his jersey number.

546
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: So four days after William's application was filed, George Gervin

547
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: his trademark application was also I guess admitted. But he's

548
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 2: been called the Iceman and that was first used in

549
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: uh nineteen seventy nine. I actually have the Iceman poster

550
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: and ice is he's sitting on a block of ice

551
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 2: and he's these basketballs, you know, look like their ice

552
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 2: as well. It's great, great poster. But I sent me

553
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: that autographed it a couple of years ago. But I

554
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: guess there is a soccer player in Chelsea rad Satan, Yeah,

555
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: col Palmer, and he's called Iceman. Uh well no, they'll

556
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: call him cold Palmer. Oh.

557
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 10: But his celebration was that sort of like I'm freezing

558
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 10: kind of thing because like every time he scores a goal,

559
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 10: he's like that was too cold.

560
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So Caleb is imitating this soccer player called Palmer. Yeah, okay,

561
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: so when Palmer scores, he gives you the old shivers,

562
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: like who and so they call him cold Palmer. Okay.

563
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: I think Chuck Ledell, former MMA fighter, wasn't he no

564
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: own as Iceman. There's a lot of guys who were

565
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: laying claim.

566
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 8: To this little naval pilot, Val Kilmer.

567
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: Val Kilmer the original Iceman. Oh j yeah, I believe

568
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: what else, Paul?

569
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 8: Actually the timeline would be George Gervin. First, the George

570
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 8: Gervin's company, Gervin Global Management, thought they had the nickname

571
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 8: trademarked already. They found out they never did. The confusion

572
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 8: was a death of a business associate who was tasked

573
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 8: to do this years ago and he didn't get it done.

574
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 8: So when Caleb Williams went in to do this, he

575
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 8: had the green light to do it, it was not

576
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 8: already trademarked. And when they realized that, they scrambled the

577
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 8: Gervin people to get Iceman and Ice forty four trademark.

578
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 8: The nickname was not self given by Caleb. Kind of

579
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 8: the press did it after he did the Cole Palmer thing. Yeah,

580
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 8: but he already took the logo and it's kind of

581
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 8: making maybe a clothing line out of this or other things.

582
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're talking about jerseys and hats and sports equipment.

583
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: I wear posters, trading cards, sweatshirts. Hmmm, George Gervin is Iceman?

584
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

585
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 10: See, I'm looking a little deeper into the George Gervin situation.

586
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 10: You know who had the rights to it, that was

587
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 10: supposed to do it on his behalf and didn't.

588
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: Alec Baum's parents.

589
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 7: Damn it.

590
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: No, that's I'm confusing my stories. Wow, wow, yes, yes.

591
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 8: Okay, this is the question from the room. If you

592
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 8: were the judge in this case and had to decide,

593
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 8: how would you make your decision?

594
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: I would say Iceman, you're the original Iceman. You get it? Uh?

595
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: Corter joerned. But he did make he thought he had

596
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: trademarked it. It's not like he all of a sudden

597
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: go oh my gosh, I got a trademark that he

598
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: did think that he was filing the trademark papers. There

599
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: was a death and they weren't able to He did

600
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: not realize that. I would I would give it to Iceman. Yes, PAULI.

601
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 8: Some people use nicknames of people from the past. But

602
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 8: if I refer to you by your nickname and it's

603
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 8: more well known than your actual name, I think it's yours.

604
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 8: Tiger Woods. No one calls him Eldrick. No one says, hey,

605
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 8: George Gervin was on TV today. You say, I saw

606
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 8: Ice Gervin on the TV show. I think that would

607
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 8: be the default judgment. No one goes Iceman Williams of

608
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 8: the Bears.

609
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

610
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 8: No one says that yet.

611
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Gervin has you know, he's got some kind

612
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: of documentation. He's got a poster that says Iceman on it.

613
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: I would just bring the poster to court find him.

614
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: I'm saying here it is that there's me. Yes, I do.

615
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 10: I think there's something too. If you bring all of

616
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 10: them into court and line them up and ask the

617
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 10: jury which one of them is Iceman and they point

618
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 10: to George Gervin, They're like, okay, that's clearly you win.

619
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: You get the patent. You do a focus group, and

620
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 2: you bring the focus group in and say, all right, uh,

621
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: you line up Chuck Lddel, you line up Ice Gervan,

622
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: you line up Caleb Williams, Okay, who is Iceman? And

623
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: you point Now, if I'm Gervin, I'm wearing my uniform,

624
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: I'd be wearing my San Antonio Spurs jersey. Yes, Marmon,

625
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 2: that said ice on the back.

626
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, it doesn't say ice on the Chicago Bears uniform.

627
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: Now it doesn't.

628
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 7: One is Iceman. The other one is the guy that

629
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 7: pretends to be cold.

630
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: I would I would come in and do a finger

631
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: roll like I would do the little Gervi and finger

632
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 2: roll there, maybe grows hair back, get a fro back. Yes, Pauli.

633
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 8: It's like if I said, oh, I saw I was

634
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 8: watching NFL Network and LT was being interviewed, I'm referring

635
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 8: to who.

636
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: Well, that's different because that could be Lawrence Taylor, La

637
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: Danian Tomlinson, right, But those are just initials.

638
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 8: I wonder if either trademarked that for clothes or merchandise.

639
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, but Abdul Carter also wanted to be

640
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: called LT as well. It's weird. He wanted his number

641
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: and he'd like to be calling to you as well.

642
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: I think he's changing his number again. Is Abdubal Carter

643
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 2: changing his number or did I make that up?

644
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: No?

645
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: No, no, no, he can't do fifty six, But I

646
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: don't know. For some reason, I thought maybe he was changing.

647
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 2: He was changing something. All right, let me take a break.

648
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: It's time for sausage and peppers. We also have our

649
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: little batting helmets with ice cream in it, the nacho

650
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: cheese dip. We have crab crab dogs. Is that what

651
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: it is? Oh boy? You guys don't come in sick

652
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: on Monday or with his stomach ache? All right, Todd,

653
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: we'll try to avoid that. All right, everything in moderation.

654
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: That's the problem.

655
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 3: That's very easy to say those words.

656
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 2: All right, We'll take a break. A last golf for

657

663
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: backroom guys for the Vegas franchise. How about the gamblers,

664
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: probably don't want to be that overt with gambling. How

665
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: about the headliners, the Vegas Headliners, how about the Blackjacks,

666
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: how about the Vegas Chips, Vegas Slots, gotta be careful

667
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: with that one man. Vegas Mobsters, Vegas roadrunners. Once again,

668
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: these are the backroom guys offering up some suggestions there.

669
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: Let's see Dana in Florida. Morning, Dana, what's on your

670
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: mind today?

671
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 4: Hey Dan?

672
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 15: Second time, longtime, six feet to twenty two. Last chance.

673
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 15: Last time I had a chance to chat with you

674
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 15: was just before my first foray to Notre Dame Stadium

675
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 15: for the East USC game that you guys were at.

676
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 15: I didn't get into town until Saturday, so I didn't

677
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 15: get a chance to see you guys do your things.

678
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 15: So I just wanted to give you a shout out

679
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 15: for that stuff. And I'm already fretting about who I'm

680
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 15: going to turn to after you guys are done during

681
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 15: the show and get a suggestion from you as to

682
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 15: who's a good quality program that we could follow after

683
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 15: you guys are done due in your show. But some

684
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 15: ideas about the franchise name for Vegas. I like some

685
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 15: of those ones you just mentioned. They're out in the desert,

686
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 15: so I was thinking Vegas Snakes or Vegas snake eyes,

687
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 15: or if you're out in the desert for too long,

688
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 15: you start to see funny things, so they could be

689
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 15: the Vegas Mirage, and that has another connotation, of course.

690
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 15: So there's a couple of ideas that I had right there.

691
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 2: Ray, Well, thank you, Dana. Well, they have a Mirage

692
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: hotel in Vegas. But the Vegas Mirage is it you're

693
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: seeing something good or you're seeing something bad when you're

694
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 2: watching the expansion team? John and Ohio, Hi John, what's

695
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 2: on your mind today?

696
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 12: Hey? How are you?

697
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 8: So?

698
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 16: I was thinking chips And the reason Chips is a

699
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 16: perfect name is because they'd never be tanking, because they'd

700
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 16: be all in and you got your colors, you know,

701
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 16: orange for a thousand dollars, Kip more purple. So I

702
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 16: think the Chips is a pretty good name.

703
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 2: All right, Thank you.

704
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: John.

705
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 2: Jim in Michigan, Hi Jim, how are you good?

706
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 11: I had another idea about how I want to be buried,

707
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 11: not so much what I want to wear, but the positioning.

708
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 11: I'd like to be buried face down so my friends

709
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 11: would visit the graves can part their bikes.

710
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: Okay. Bob Knight said he wanted to be buried face

711
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 2: down so his critics could kiss his ass. I think

712
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 2: Dave in La Good morning, Dave, what's on your mind today?

713
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 17: Yeah, hello, Dan, thanks for getting me in. Two quick

714
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 17: things regarding the Iceman, sober Ka Keemi riiking them. The

715
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 17: finish F one driver was famously referred to as the

716
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 17: Iceman for his cold, unruffled demeanor, and I think most

717
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 17: of the world outside of the US would be quick

718
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 17: to note that. Second, Dan, I wanted to mention that

719
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 17: when I heard Barry Bond's comments, I harkened back to

720
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 17: two thousand and five when I had the privilege of

721
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 17: visiting the Giant's clubhouse while working on a documentary. And

722
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 17: I can personally attest the fact that after the game,

723
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 17: Bonds retired to a personal suite that was in a

724
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 17: separate part of the facility, complete with reclining chair and

725
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 17: his own shower. Not exactly the paradigm.

726
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 4: Is the best.

727
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 17: Teammate you could ever have, and he also insulated himself

728
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 17: from the press.

729
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: I might add, Oh, now, when I visited him in

730
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: the locker room, he had two lockers, But I understood that,

731
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes bigger names because you don't want to

732
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: have the guy next to you have a bunch of

733
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: people trampling all over you. So you can get a

734
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 2: microphone in front of the Star. But yeah, Barry was

735
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: not a great teammate. He was just a great player. Yeah,

736
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 2: pulling a.

737
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 8: Lot of people made jokes around that time. Even his

738
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 8: lockers are getting bad. It wasn't mine. It was an

739
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 8: easy one back then.

740
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're going to have Barry bonds, at least

741
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 2: ask bonds about your teammate is going in before you're

742
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 2: going into the Hall of Fame. Jeff Kent, I don't know.

743
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 2: Some of these things are so obvious and it just

744
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 2: kind of breezed by that stuff. But Bob, I don't know. Look,

745
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 2: they're not using bonds. You know. Maybe he's there for

746
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 2: Home Run Derby and maybe the Field of Dreams, but

747
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 2: that's it for Netflix. Yes, Marvin, why is.

748
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 7: Everyone in their moral high horse? I don't want to

749
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 7: get into this because we're almost out of time. But

750
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 7: the whole his head was changing sizes and he won

751
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 7: the MVP Award four years in a row. Now you

752
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 7: don't want put him in the Hall of Fame. Well,

753
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 7: his arms were busting out of his uniform.

754
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: I know, but you had to have some kind of

755
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: evidence here.

756
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 4: I don't know put him in.

757
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: I don't give a damn anymore. You know, just put

758
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: something on his plaque that says, this was the size

759
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: of his head when he was in PITTSBA, This was

760
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: the size of his head. Give two different you know,

761
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 2: give two different busts. Give me the Pittsburgh one in

762
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: the San Francisco one.

763
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 4: I don't care.

764
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 2: After a while, I spent so much time on this,

765
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: like Pete Road the Hall of It. Honey Man, Yeah, Paulie.
