He is leading the Jets 28 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: to the Promised Land. He was number one, Like I 29 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: told you, he's leading him to the promised land. Now 30 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: it's just was the mad genius of your coach going 31 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: number one next year, not the Super Bowl number one pick. 32 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: Things change, just like in Top Gun where Cougar was 33 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: number one. Cougar lost it turned in his wings. You 34 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: guys are number one, by the way, rest in peace, 35 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: Stinger uh number one all time, still in number one. 36 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: Gino Oriema is now the number one. Gino after tonight 37 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: you figure March's geene Oream's time to be number one. 38 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: Gino Smith getting a starting gig back with the Jets 39 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: really big deal. But after tonight, Gino Oriema has usurped 40 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: Gino Smith. Okay, yeah, I mean we taken all the stories, 41 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: Jory lines, and twists and turns that come out of this. 42 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: I mean we were talking about in Emeritis. The history 43 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: and legacy of Gino Hernandez, one of the great wrestlers 44 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: of world class Championship wrestling, has featured in Iron Claw 45 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: and Ian and I had a very touching and sad 46 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: moment reminiscing about that film. But here it's Gino Oriema 47 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: who's in a fighting mood himself. He might have an 48 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: iron Claw ready of his own. Staley, Geno, Gina. The 49 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: Gift that keeps on Giving was the end of tonight's 50 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: Final four game between South Carolina and Yukon. Yukon was 51 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: on their way to what we thought was gonna be 52 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: a dominant national championship, the fifty sixth of Gino Oriema's career. 53 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: Except the funny thing happened. When nobody makes shots, it 54 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: gets difficult to win a game, and this was not 55 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: a pretty game. South Carolina won. It was very physical. 56 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: Gina was not happy with the officiating during the game. 57 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: He was not happy with Don Staley and something that 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: got and came to a head at the close of 59 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: South Carolina's sixty two forty eight win. Now we're gonna 60 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: play you the play by play at the end of 61 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: the game, and you're gonna wonder what the hell happened. 62 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna give you the reaction from Don Staley and 63 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: Gino Oriema, and then we'll tell you exactly why this 64 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: may be the biggest epic fail moment of Gino Oriema's career. 65 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: So the game ends, it's over right, sixty two forty 66 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: eight Yukon. It's a shocking loss. You know, Gino's pissed. 67 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: He's been pissed at the officiating throughout the game, and 68 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: you know at the end, Gino and and Don Staley 69 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: to coaching legend. You know you're gonna go shake hands, 70 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: except when you don't shake hands, and it seems like 71 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: instead both coaches want to fight each other. If you 72 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: want to Fotto in down here the officials will hold 73 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: the players now down and Gino getting into it a 74 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: little bit on the sideline, Gino to be held back. 75 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 2: Gino geez Don and Gino. 76 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: That's part of what makes this rivalry such a compelling one. 77 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: I really wish he'd leaned into his Geno girl into 78 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: a little more here. It's it's center court Uh, yeah, 79 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: it looked like they wanted to fight. You're trying to 80 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: read lips and trying to read down Staley's lips. It's Gino, 81 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: I shook your hand. Don't do that. And then you 82 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: hear somebody, maybe Don Staley, maybe somebody else going I'll 83 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: kick what I'll kick kick Gino's ass. So Gino, now 84 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: you watch this, going what the hell is happening here? 85 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: Because it looked like there was gonna be some kind 86 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: of confrontation Gino. Geez you all the assistants start throwing haymakers. 87 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: Donnie Brooke is broken out. This is like in a 88 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: WW when guys will come out of the locker room. Oh, 89 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: and here comes Tino Santana to come to the rescue 90 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: of Hulk Hogan. Well, as the theme music starts playing 91 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: before they take a step out behind the curve and 92 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: they come out with no boots on and bare feet 93 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: and their arms are barely taped there they come out, 94 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: so they go at it. Why is Geno Orima so 95 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: mad at Don Staley? Well, apparently what Don Staley said 96 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: their conversation at the end of the game was about 97 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: a handshake that didn't occur before the game. Here's Don 98 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: Staley right after what happened with Gino with the ESPN 99 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: sideline reporter Holly Rod the end of the game. What 100 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: wrong on the sideline right now? 101 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 3: I have no idea, but I'm gonna let you know this. 102 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 3: I'm of integrity. I'm of integrity. So if I did 103 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 3: something wrong to Gino, I had no idea what I did. 104 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: I guess he thought I didn't shake his hand at 105 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: the beginning of the game. 106 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: I didn't know. 107 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 3: I went down there at pregame shook everybody on his 108 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 3: staff's hand. I don't know what he came with after 109 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: the game, but hey, sometimes days get heated. 110 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: We moved on. Blank you, we won, Geno, Blank you. Blank. Now, 111 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: there has since been video in the last half hour 112 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: that has been shown where pregame Dawn Staley walking over 113 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: to the bench and shaking Gino Oriema's hand. Now that 114 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: she didn't stand around slap him on the Shoulder's gonna 115 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: have a bunch of small to hands with it, but 116 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: there's video evidence of it. You and I were laughing 117 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: about it because the the crew doing the broadcast, because 118 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: in the postgame they're kind of reviewing all the circumstances 119 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: like this is pregame right, and it's in the upper 120 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: left quarter of the broadcast, like, no, this really happened, 121 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: like you sure, you're sure? Like they were trying to 122 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: make sure what they saw was real. So this, this 123 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: handshake thing is out of control. Why is Gino so med? 124 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: Is it a handshake? Now? Geno did answer the question. 125 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: Of course, you knew he was gonna get it. The 126 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: first question, what happened with you and Don Staley at 127 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: the end? And here was Gino's answer, what exactly happened 128 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: in the end of the game. Then the last second 129 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: with the handshake line with you and don't. 130 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 4: I said what I had to say and nothing nothing? 131 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: Well come Gino Gino Gino coach coach follow up question 132 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: Mike Carbon Fox Sports Radio, what what did you say? 133 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: Like that's why this just to think, that's why this 134 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: is such the it's it's the biggest epic fail for 135 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: Gino ori Emma because he looks like an older coach 136 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: who lost his mind. And and and that you know 137 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: that that's the optic because he lost it in the 138 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: third quarter. We'll get that audio ready as well. In 139 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: between the third and fourth quarter, you could tell Gina 140 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: was already cooking. He was upset about the officiating in 141 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: the game. As best player had her jersey rips. She 142 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: ripped it herself because she was frustrated. But Gino Oriema 143 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: didn't know that or didn't care, and so you knew 144 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: he was cooking on this as early as between the 145 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: third and fourth quarter. Right, just listen to the audio. 146 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: This is Geno and a big night for Holly Row. 147 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: Oh by the way, uh, well that besides getting cursed 148 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: at by Gino, Big night for Holly Row, Big interviews, 149 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: big sound. This is between the third and fourth quarter 150 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: where Yukon could tell hey, things are slipping away for us, 151 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: and this was the between quarter interview. Well, coach, a 152 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: kind of wild turn of events. 153 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: Sarah Strong's jersey is split right down the middle. 154 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: I saw you speaking to the reps about it. What 155 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: message do you try to convey here? 156 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 5: Right, there were six founds called that quarter, all of 157 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 5: them against us, and they've been beating it out of 158 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 5: our guys down there the entire game. I'm not making 159 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 5: excuses because we haven't been able to make a shot, but. 160 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: This is ridiculous. 161 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 5: Their coach Ransom raves on the sideline and calls the 162 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 5: referee some names you don't want to hear. And now 163 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 5: we get six to zero and I got a kid 164 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 5: with a rip jersey and they go, I didn't see it. 165 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 5: Come on, man, it's the national championship. 166 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: They didn't see it because she ripped herself. Gino, there's 167 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: video of it. Wow, dude, you look like you're out 168 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: of touch. And it's between the third and fourth quarter, 169 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: and you know what perception is reality, And someone's got 170 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: to be the adult at that point, because obviously Sarah 171 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: Strong was very emotional, she ripped her jersey, you could 172 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: see putting back on very frustrating game. Somebody needed to 173 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: be the person to say, hey, let's be a bunch 174 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: of little fonsis here and what's Phonsie cool? Correct? Amundo? 175 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: And here's Gino Oriema losing his mind in between the 176 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: third and fourth quarter, Like what was was the right 177 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: things going on? Were the right things happening on the 178 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: sideline strategy wise in this game? Or was everybody just 179 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: incredibly emotional because nobody could have a shot because Gino's right, like, 180 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: you can say, talk about the fishing all you want, 181 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: but this is a bad game shooting for both teams 182 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: and Yukon couldn't make anything right. This wasn't a one 183 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: point game where if this is a fourteen point burial 184 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: where Yukon's best players were both terrible and emotions were 185 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: out of control. You could see the body language, you 186 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: could see the frustration, and that's why this epic fail. 187 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: It makes you go as great a the coaches. Gino 188 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: is tonight. What the hell was going on with him? Man, 189 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: he's mad about what we think is a handshake that 190 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: he said didn't happen, but there's clear evidence that it did. Dude, 191 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: you got to talk about this, man, because you look 192 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: really bad right now. You'k like someone that are you 193 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: too much out of control middle of the game when 194 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: things need to be cool. You got to get ready 195 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: to go back out there and get your team ready 196 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: for the fourth quarter. Instead, I'm losing my mind and 197 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: I'm worried about what Dawn Staley is yelling to the officials. 198 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm worried about what the other coach is yelling at 199 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: the officials rather than what's going on in my game. 200 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, you've never yelled an official before, 201 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: you know done? Like the optics for Gino after this 202 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: game are so incredibly bad. Like he's had a thirty 203 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: plus year career where he's built women's college basketball from 204 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: the ground up, right the rivalry with Tennessee, the first 205 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: undefeated Yukon team with Rebecca Lobo that put women's college 206 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: basketball really on the map, and what he's done in 207 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: the years since has been incredible. But tonight with such 208 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: an epic meltdown, and you question him going forward. You 209 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: question what went on during the game. You questioned, dude, 210 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: you gotta really tell I mean really, I gotta know 211 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: about this handshake thing, because if you're really lost it 212 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: over a handshake and there's evidence that you that she 213 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: walked up to you and shook your hand, I gotta say, 214 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: are you okay? Can you still coach? Are you okay? 215 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 4: Man? 216 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: Like, if that's what this is. There was pregame, you 217 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: saw the end, you saw the video evidence. You say, 218 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: unless under her breath she muttered something and called him 219 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: a dirty name, you know, like she was allegedly yelling 220 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: at the officials and you know said something you know, 221 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: going back, uh, oh my virgin ears. Oh Don Staley 222 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: is yelling at the official but like she's shaking his hand, 223 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: did she she say you know, we're about to put 224 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: a hurting on you in not so on you know, 225 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: friendly a term. I don't know, but we we have 226 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: evidence that. And at the end of the third quarter, Jason, 227 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: it's a five point game. Yeah, it is a five 228 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: point game. And you've been terrible. 229 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 6: Right. 230 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: South Carolina shoots thirty eight per cent for the game. 231 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,599 Speaker 1: Yukon shoots thirty one percent. I get it, four of 232 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: six from from the foul line as opposed to twenty 233 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: two attempts. South Carolina taking care of that. Hey, guess 234 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: what the difference and made file shots was fourteen different 235 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: some points of the paint fourteen A lot of these 236 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: metrics that come back and bite you in the ass. 237 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: And yes, they were called for twice as many files, 238 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: but they dictated the terms of the game, and the 239 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: referee said, we're gonna let you play physically. And you 240 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: know what, your team shrunk. They had wide open layups 241 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: that they missed, wide open jump shots that they missed, 242 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: all of these things. And to your point, right, the 243 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: tearing of the jersey and everything else. Something was just 244 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: not computing a team that is, and they we talked 245 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: about it a lot, right, I believe you got to 246 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: get that early tough job, tough teacher, tough experience. You know, 247 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: you don't want everybody's life to fall to pieces, but 248 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: you got to have some of that early Otherwise when 249 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: it does come to you later on, you're gonna and 250 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: you get punched in the face, you're not gonna respond. Well, 251 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: Yukhan did not respond well because they've been beating everybody 252 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: up and all of a sudden they were in a 253 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: tight game and they just melted down. And your coach, 254 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: you're decorated Hall of Fame coach. I saw a trading 255 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: card in my my Giant collection, Like, well they made 256 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: a GENO. I didn't even know I had this, And like, 257 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: you're the the embodiment of everything. This sport has been 258 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: the growth of it, and you were acting like a 259 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: five year old. You know what I I would I 260 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: would do this. I was Jason Smith, Fox Sports Radio. 261 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: Uh am I right by saying you're upset at the 262 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: behavior of the of the other coach during the game time. Yeah, 263 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: that's right, that's right, saying things that you wouldn't want repeated. 264 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: Uh so gino. But it's okay that a coach at 265 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: your school headbuttson official at the end of a final 266 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: four game and doesn't get a technical foul. That that's okay. 267 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: I'll hang up and listen off the air. Would you 268 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: characterize your rant as Hurley liked or did you he 269 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: completely out Hurley? Danny Hurley, that's that, yeah. But that 270 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: the skull the skull budding is one of the greatest coves. 271 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: Come on, we've ever seen. It's one thing to berata guy, 272 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: it's another to eyeball them.

He's so tired 333 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 9: of injury and he just doesn't want to do a surgery. 334 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 6: You know who The man is around there that gets 335 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 6: on everybody's nerves. Big drums over there behind that disc. 336 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 6: He tells Andrew this is word, bro. He tells Andrew, 337 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 6: you're either playing this year or we're moving on. Who 338 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 6: the would tell Andrew Luck that right? 339 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: You're playing this year or we're moving on. All right. 340 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: This is Andrew Luck, who for most of his career 341 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: was pretty healthy. Missed one whole season obviously with an injury. 342 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: But it's coming off a year he threw for thirty 343 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns. Okay, he had a couple of really big 344 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: years Andrew Luck. He was still a franchise quarterback. He 345 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: was still in his twenties if he was going through 346 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: some time where Again, that's why I hope this story 347 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: is not true, because if it is, boy, does Chris 348 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: Balin looked like an absolute idiot? Well, because he really 349 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: like pivoted to a lot of great options in the 350 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: aftermath of Andrew Luck walking away during that famous preseason game, 351 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: Like if if you dare your quarterback who clearly is 352 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: going through something, hey, I'm dinged up. He's been hurt 353 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: throughout his career. This is where you say, hey, okay, 354 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: you're our franchise quarterback. Man, so we understand. And this 355 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: is why I feel like, did the cults really deserve 356 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: to go from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck? I mean, 357 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: come on, will you treat Andrew Luck like? This is 358 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: why again I hope this story is not true. Is 359 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: you really don't say something like, hey, take some time off, 360 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: take some time away. I know you need some time. 361 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: You want to heal, get better. Whatever it is will work. 362 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: We'll work it out with you. Because you are a 363 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: franchise player.

Like, what what the hell? Man? Like, 368 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: in what in what world does that story make sense 369 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: that you would say that to Andrew Luck. This is 370 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: not an end of Run year three with an aged 371 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: Brett Favre where Aaron Rodgers is sitting there and then 372 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: doing the same thing with Aaron Rodgers when you've drafted 373 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: Jordan Love. This is a guy who is coming into 374 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: the Primes career.

You know, you just don't take on You 442 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 4: don't take on guys who lay it on the line 443 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 4: for you. And Andrew Luck. You can say anything you 444 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 4: want about Andrew Luck. Okay, you know that he maybe 445 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 4: you quit too early and didn't fight through it, and 446 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 4: you know, maybe sure put and given it. I mean, 447 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 4: that's that's all. That's all fine, Okay, but I'm sorry. 448 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Nola. McClane just lost the perfect game. So 449 00:23:52,440 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 4: but but like the amount of stupidity that he put 450 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 4: up with bad offensive systems and him having to run 451 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 4: through people and him you know, going out and tackling 452 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 4: people after interceptions, which again wasn't always wise, right. I mean, 453 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 4: the man, the man put his body on the line, 454 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 4: you know, and he was a pure football player, and 455 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 4: to say that to him, I would just I would 456 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 4: have fired him on the spot if I knew that 457 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 4: it was true, I would I just if I was 458 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 4: junior saying I heard that got back to me, I 459 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 4: would just said, Andrew, I apologize. I apologize for Chris Baalig, 460 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 4: and I'm firing him right now. 461 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: Well, because they pivoted Jacoby Burssett and Brian Hoyer than 462 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. 463 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 4: Well, but this is now. Look you can say to people, 464 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 4: I need more. Like Rich Spielman once said to Lamar Thomas, 465 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 4: and I remember this distinctly. Lamar Thomas, who you know, 466 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 4: most people won't won't remember a wide receiver player for 467 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 4: the Dolphins, you know, you know, sort of a just 468 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 4: kind of a journeyman career, right. And so he went 469 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 4: over the middle in a in a preseason game and 470 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 4: he went up and he almost made a catch, and 471 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 4: he's coming down and so he's coming off the field 472 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 4: and they've been talking about a new contract that year, 473 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 4: and Rick Spielman said, look, if you want a new contract, 474 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 4: you have to catch balls like that. And that's that's 475 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 4: being truthful with a guy that's not challenging his manhood. 476 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,479 Speaker 4: It's just telling him the truth about this is how 477 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 4: the league works. But there's a difference when you have 478 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 4: a guy who's you know, playing hurt is your quarterback 479 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 4: you invested so much in with the number one overall pick. 480 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 4: I mean, like to say that to him would be 481 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 4: pure insanity. So I hope it's not true, because you know, 482 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 4: like Chris Ballad never deserves to be an executive again. 483 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 4: If that's true, I mean to look like I wouldn't 484 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 4: never hire a guy who you talked that like that 485 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 4: to a player, double double play. That's that's her retired here, 486 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 4: but like. 487 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: I'm not watching the game here in studio, by the way, 488 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: he's doing the story like he's Harry Carey and and 489 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: you know I would fire him on the spot. Hey, 490 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: there's a groundball double play. 491 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 4: I grew up on Vin Scully, but I have an 492 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 4: appreciation for Harry Carrick. Okay, listen, they're very different announcers. 493 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: Just like that, just a little bit.

After that crazy ass contract that 509 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: they gave Kirk Cousins a day ago. Are we sure 510 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: they're going to draft for Nando Mendoza? 511 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 4: Are we sure? 512 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: Because you know Raiders? Are we sure they're gonna draft 513 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: for Nando Mendoza? 514 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, because there's there's some doubt there that whether Kirk 515 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 4: can play right, like, can Kirk actually play anymore? Are 516 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 4: you are you? Are you telling me that you're going 517 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 4: to hitch your wagon at the future of your franchise 518 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 4: after you just traded for Gino Smith the year before. 519 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 4: Now you're going to go to Kirk Cousins after how 520 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,239 Speaker 4: we played last year. 521 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: Well, I mean the opportunity is there then to get 522 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: one of these quote unquote generational quarterbacks next year? And 523 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: and why you're going to stink anyway, and why are 524 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: you signing why are you signing Kirk Cousins that you 525 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I live in the real world, Jay Cole, 526 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: and I know that people make decisions in March and 527 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: April that are stupid because when the first week of 528 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: the season comes. 529 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 2: You're number one overall. 530 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: Pick is going to be playing quarterbacks. 531 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 4: You live in the No, no, no, that's not because 532 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 4: you live in the real world. That's not it that 533 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: you know that people make stupid decisions in March and April. 534 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm a Jet fan. Okay, all right, that's 535 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: exactly right. But it doesn't matter when you're a quarterback 536 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: and you're a pick number one overall, you are starting 537 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: from week one. That's why this this whole phen No no, no, no, no, no, 538 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: of course he is no, no, no, no. 539 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 4: They don't think that they. 540 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: Can wait wait a second, remember Raiders. 541 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 4: Wait a second. Okay, stop. I mean, look, I'm a 542 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 4: big believer in playing quarterbacks early if you can. Don't 543 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 4: don't get me wrong, right, but and I would rather 544 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 4: plan earlier than than not. But if you can't protect 545 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 4: the guy, let somebody else go take the lumps for him. 546 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 4: So I do think that I overwhelmingly believe that is 547 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 4: the one year and out field, but they had Here's 548 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 4: the thing, the Raiders have a ton of money to spend, 549 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 4: and the and here's the other I shall I say it, 550 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 4: the dirty little secret of the NFL right now is 551 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 4: that teams are have so much cap money that they 552 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 4: don't even know how to spend it right now, Like 553 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 4: they're a wash in cap money because the NFLPA didn't 554 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 4: set the minimum contracts high enough to keep pace with 555 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 4: where where the cap is and what's going to happen 556 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 4: to the players in a couple of years. And I 557 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 4: know that most fans couldn't give less of a darn 558 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 4: about this. 559 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 5: Is that. 560 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 4: Is that the owners are going to demand that they 561 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 4: take less money because they're going to be tired of 562 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 4: overpaying these guys, especially the mediocre guys, have been making 563 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 4: money the last couple of years, Like you know the 564 00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 4: center that the Raiders assigned that they overpaid by almost double. 565 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 4: So when that starts to happen, there's gonna be a 566 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 4: big shift and there's gonna be a big war about it, unless, 567 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 4: of course, being and just kind of folds, which there 568 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 4: is a good chance this union with this new leadership 569 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 4: could fold and not and not really not really take 570 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 4: the owners to the map, because I don't think they 571 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 4: have a strategy. But that's one of the things. So 572 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 4: in a certain sense you have you're a wash in 573 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 4: money to go get Cousins to go out and take 574 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 4: a bunch of lumps for you, Like you're sitting here saying, look, 575 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 4: there's a good chance you're going to play, and Cousins 576 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 4: is going. You mean, I'm gonna go get killed this 577 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 4: year so that Mendoza doesn't get killed, you better pay me, right, 578 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 4: So that's that's part of the deal. 579 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is 580 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: at Jason Cole sixty two. Have you gotten a text 581 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: around your luck? 582 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 4: I thought we were going this for eighteen minutes. You've 583 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 4: only been to eleven. But I guess you guys are 584 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 4: just gonna you don't want you don't want to break news. 585 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: We have to Did did he text you hold on sick? 586 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: Do you want to be?

No, he hasn't said, how about this, I'll make 589 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 4: a deal since I think he's probably gotten enough messages 590 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 4: about this tonight a bunch of friends. So it's just 591 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 4: a wild guess that he has turned his phone off 592 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 4: and is not answering his question tonight. Okay, but somewhere 593 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 4: along the line I made Look, I'm in California to 594 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 4: you know, for the next few days.

Fortunately she 702 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: didn't because that would be a technical fall. Yeah, this 703 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: game has been a strue rug.

Yeah, 707 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: all right, and this is where Gino, as much as 708 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: wearing them out for his stupidity today, is he may 709 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,919 Speaker 1: have had a point in terms of shooting and everything else. 710 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: That is true, right, going back to the last rounds 711 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: of not because teams that were really great all season 712 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: long look like Philip Seymour Hoffman yelling rain Man with 713 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 1: the efficiency or lack thereof on the court. Yeah, if 714 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: you like, if you like points in sport, this is 715 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: not your night under. You're feeling pretty good your night, 716 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 1: you know. I have to look that up now. I 717 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: had some things written down. I did not write down 718 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: the over under for this game earlier. So coming up next, 719 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: Mike and I ten minutes, Mike and I are going 720 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: to give you the the final four personality that needs 721 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: the most advice going into tomorrow's game, and we'll give 722 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: you our picks. Who's gonna be playing for the title 723 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: on Monday Night. But another big college basketball story today, 724 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: and boy, it just keeps getting worse and worse, even 725 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,280 Speaker 1: though it's a really positive story. So Duke freshman Cameron 726 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: Boozer was named the AP Player of the Year and 727 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: he is just the what the fifth freshman in the 728 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: history of college basketball to win Player of the Year. 729 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: And again this makes me go back to what we 730 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: said a couple of weeks ago, because now that look, 731 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: you had a fifty point night tonight by Cooper Flag, 732 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: maybe people are gonna realize it. Maybe Flag's a better 733 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: rookie than Kankinepple, who now, according to Straw Poles, is 734 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: the favorite to win Rookie of the Year. But this 735 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: brings us back to my goodness, man, has there been 736 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: a bigger failure in college basketball the last couple of 737 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: years than the Duke Blue Devils. You had a team 738 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: last year with Cooper Flag and con Kinepple. Guy's gonna 739 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: be one two that look like they're gonna be stars 740 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 1: in the NBA four years, you don't make it to 741 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: the National Championship game. You have the player of the 742 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: year who's a freshman, and you don't even you don't 743 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: even make it to the final four. Like I understand that, Hey, 744 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: you know you want to blame John Shire and not 745 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: blame him because it's a miracle shot by Yukon And 746 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: I get you know, hey, the bad pass. I understand 747 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: all of that. It's a miracle play and it happens. 748 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: But wow, man, Like, there is no team that gets 749 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: better recruits, that has better talent come through its doors 750 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 1: than Duke. And the last two years, you're talking about 751 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: the number one and number four overall picking the draft 752 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: and the two guys are gonna go one two and 753 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,919 Speaker 1: Rookie of the year and they both like they're gonna 754 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: be stars for years. And here's freshman who is your 755 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: player of the year. You're hoping a freshman comes in 756 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 1: and plays well, but he's the player of the year 757 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 1: and you can't even make the final four. Like I 758 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,479 Speaker 1: mean it, this isn't overall. You want to talk about 759 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: one play here and there, But I don't know if 760 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: you have a team that has disappointed more than Duke 761 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,919 Speaker 1: in the last two years. Because this is where every 762 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: other coach in the country goes man, I wish I 763 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: had half the talent that walks through John Shire's doors. 764 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: Look at the awards and the hardware and how good 765 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: they are at the next level. And this is the 766 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: last two years. It's been disappointment to get to the 767 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: title game and now not get into the final four. 768 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: My goodness. Well but here's the thing, right, let's let's 769 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: back it out. What's old Hubert Davis doing now? 770 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 4: Job? 771 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: He got his five million dollar check, but he's waiting 772 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: on maybe his next job. Yeah, sure, yeah. Shire was 773 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: going through the run where we were starting to get 774 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: articles and big thought pieces of how his early run 775 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: here at Duke was better than coach k Yet you 776 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 1: look at these last two years. Not only they lose, 777 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: they had a nineteen point lead this game that just 778 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: like old Hubert just down the road. Okay, So you 779 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: you're talking about collapses and talent that you've assembled and 780 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: haven't been able to get over with. And you've had 781 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: a great run regular season, no question, But you're judged 782 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 1: by what you do in March, right, fair or not 783 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 1: that's the way it works. And you know who was 784 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: doing the rounds showed up by McAfee first thing Monday morning, 785 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:07,879 Speaker 1: Coach k I don't know John. I mean he's been fantastic, 786 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,280 Speaker 1: but the whole time, like remember me, no bigger failure 787 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,879 Speaker 1: than no bigger no good man. But coming up next, 788 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: who needs our advice the most? Plus we give you 789 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 1: our final four picks?
