8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: be all right. We got full March madness going on

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: right now. Michigan State, the nine seed, has opened up

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: a ten point lead early on in the first half

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: against the one seed North Carolina. That in the West Region,

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: So we're keeping an eye on that game. Games that

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: have already been played and already Moncia, I have to

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: sit here and say, Wow, you're up one on me

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: so far in our picks first round, you got twenty

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: one out of thirty two correct and I had twenty

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: out of thirty two. So you have a one game lead.

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: You know.

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: I went with a lot of emotional picks, not a

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: lot of logical picks, because it just.

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: We talked about it.

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't think there's a clear cut winner,

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: and I think there was gonna be a lot of

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: random upsets that you weren't expecting. So there was like,

25
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: I picked Michigan State because one of my best friends

26
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: from Michigan.

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: When that first round, I'm gonna I picked you know.

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: NC State because I like the wolf Pack, like little

29
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: things like that, where I was like, I'm just I

30
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: can't use too much logic on this.

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: I won with a lot of upsets. Some of them

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: came through I had James Madison, I had Grand Canyons.

33
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: So those were two nice upsets. Why did I not

34
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: take Oakland? Why did I need Oakland?

35
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: No?

36
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: I did Tucky in my final four. I just thought,

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: all right, Cali Perry has had a couple of hiccups

38
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: in recent years. He's due for a run. Like the

39
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: basketball guys are going to finally say, all right, John,

40
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: you had a couple of, you know, embarrassing losses early

41
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: in the tournament. You know we're gonna give you a

42
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: nice easy road. I had Kentucky. I'm looking at their bracket,

43
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, they're gonna get to the final four. They

44
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: lose to Oakland.

45
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: They lose it. But you could not have picked that.

46
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: The only people who picked Oakland were people who went

47
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: to Oakland or live in Oakland, and they're like, I'm gonna,

48
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: you know, root for my hometown.

49
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,279
Speaker 3: But nobody was gonna pick that. Nobody not logically at least.

50
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: How about this. So we talked about this last week.

51
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: There's only was one documented case, I mean where you

52
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: legitimately have you know, where people are turning in brackets

53
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: to a national level, where somebody had actually gotten through

54
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: the first week. That's forty eight games without a miss.

55
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: It was five years ago as a guy in Ohio.

56
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: He was some neurosurgeon or something. He was forty eight

57
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: out of forty eight. I think, well, you know, I

58
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: was watching what ESPN dot com they they have on

59
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: the Fox Challenge and everything else. So they had twenty

60
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: two million entries, they were all done. Yeah, last night

61
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: there were zero perfect brackets after the first two days

62
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: because nobody could have gotten that. I was amazed when

63
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: we got down to I think it was the Grand

64
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: Canyon victory over Saint Mary's that finally did in the

65
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: last three Yeah, you know, there was three out of

66
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: twenty two million still alive. So it's been crazy. Yeah.

67
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: So I had McNee State, I had Stanford, Sanford almost get.

68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: They close was close and uncomfortable.

69
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was really in on that one. But this

70
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: is very predictable on what we're seeing in this NC

71
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: basketball tournament because, like you say, Monci, there are just

72
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: no standout teams. And I know Yukon talks about it,

73
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: but I voiced my thing about Yukon last week of

74
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: why they're not going to win back to back championships. So,

75
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, like Gonzaga, Yeah, you know a lot of

76
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: people thought, well, this is the year that Gonzaga goes

77
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: down early and they just blew the doors off Kansas today.

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah they did. Did you see that? Bejon Robinson had

79
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: a perfect.

80
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: Bracket for Yeah, I saw that.

81
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it got ruined after Marquette one.

82
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he was rolling along and I'm like, there's

83
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: no way he had these had Oakland, he.

84
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: Had Oakland, he had Oakland. But yeah, it was.

85
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: He was perfect the first day, which is so I

86
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: was like, how how are you perfect the first day?

87
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: How is anyone perfect?

88
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: Well? I do want to mention here at the top

89
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: because we're talking about the brackets. The Fox Sports Radio

90
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,480

93
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: for two we graduate hotels sponsored by Tractor supplying graduate

94
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: hotels where college fans stay. It is fun. I mean,

95
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's been a hard year for me because

96
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: U Stla obviously didn't make the tournament. They didn't deserve

97
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: to be in the tournament. And so when my bruins

98
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: are not in the tournament, my interest maybe wanes a

99
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: little bit until the tournament actually starts.

100
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the first two games, like the first day

101
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: was so fun. Dan Byer was in here. He was

102
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: so mad, Smoke was coming out of his ears because

103
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: he was zero and two already. He just was like,

104
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: it was already so exciting. From the rain win started.

105
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I was any there and I had Creighton losing,

106
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, and my son and I were

107
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: different on that game. And he has Creighton like in

108
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 1: the final four.

109
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: Oh wow, dang, I definitely don't. My final four are

110
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: still alive.

111
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: And what's funny is I filled out the bracket with

112
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: on a paper, right, I wanted to see my answers,

113
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: and then I went.

114
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: To the internet and I filled it out and when.

115
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: I got to it, I changed my answers last minute,

116
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: and I picked you kant to win.

117
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 3: I know what you said, I know what you told me.

118
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: Ten percent. Forty years, only four have done it.

119
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: I had North Carolina winning and then I changed it

120
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: once I officially put it in.

121
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: Okay, for all the noise I made last week, Yeah,

122
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: all right, I got to come clean here. I'm going

123
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: to come real clean, right, Yeah, okay, I have to

124
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: come clean on this.

125
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: Come clean.

126
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: So everybody has a different method, and I have been

127
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: doing brackets forever, I mean forty years, let's say that.

128
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: So the bracket that I entered for the Fox Sports

129
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: Radio Bracket Challenge I lifted from somebody online. So what

130
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: I do is I look at a number of them

131
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: online because people print them, and I saw one that

132
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: I liked except for one thing that yukon Winny at all.

133
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: If you look at my Fox Sports Radio Bracket Challenge,

134
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: I have ukon Winny at all, even though even though

135
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: I know they're not going to win at all. But

136
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: I liked a lot of the picks, so I went

137
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: with that one. Yeah it's lazy, but at least I'm

138
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: honest about it, honest about lagiarism, and it's fine. Or

139
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: worse in this case. So anyway, So anyway, we got

140
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: that going on right now. We got a lot of

141
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: stories we're going to get to. Obviously, the March madness

142
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: will be our biggest focus of the day, but I

143
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: do want to start in a little bit here on

144
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: the show Heyo Tawani situation. And I know this is

145
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: near and dear to you because you've been working with

146
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: the Dodgers organization for a number of years. Here's I

147
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: just want to get to this point of the show

148
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: Hey Otani situation. So there's three possible things that happen here.

149
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: It has to be one of three. Either this guy,

150
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: as the latest report said, it's just stealing money out

151
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: of Shoeyotani's account with Otani having no knowledge of it,

152
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: which sounds far fetch because you would then be saying

153
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: he's the only one that has access to Atani's account

154
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: like other people don't know how much money is in itscount.

155
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: And by the way, when we talk about incurring four

156
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars a gambling debt, you have

157
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: to be betting tens of millions of dollars, which also

158
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: brings up this question if he wasn't stealing the money.

159
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: There's no way he's paying his interpreter enough money for

160
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: him to incur four and a half million dollars a

161
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: gambling debt. I mean, if he is a nice one,

162
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not a bad gig, right, Okay, that's

163
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: one possibility. Or the original story was is that Shohy

164
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: was covering his gam his buddy's gambling debt, not understanding

165
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: the repercussions of that, and then suddenly the story changed.

166
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: Or the other scenario is is this guy is simply

167
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: the front guy, and it's Otani that has a gambling

168
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: desire and he's gambling millions and millions of dollars, which

169
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: for a man of his wealth, just like look I

170
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, notorious gamblers and to this day,

171
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: and I mean, I can go all the way back

172
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: on this. My original loose Cannon partner, the Great Chet forty,

173
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: had a gambling addiction, was well documented. And when Michael

174
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: Jordan retired suddenly in nineteen ninety three, after a couple

175
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: of checks came out to an undercover figure for gambling debts,

176
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: and I remember asking Chet, well, that's okay. I'm mean,

177
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: if he wants to bet on you know, baseball or football,

178
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: And he goes, understand this, if you're a gambler, you

179
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: every edge you can get. And no person had more

180
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: of an edge on basketball than Michael Jordan. No player

181
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: ever controlled the ball more in the fourth quarter than

182
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. That wasn't that he was betting against his team.

183
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: It's just the fact that if they're favored by six

184
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: and he needs to win by seven, he's going to

185
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: make sure they win by seven. Now we can't prove

186
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: any of this, but this was his theory. You know

187
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: about guys betting on themselves in the sport where they

188
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: actually have control of the outcome of the game. So

189
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: the problem for show hey Otani potentially, and I pray

190
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: this is not the case. Yeah, because he is a

191
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: very important figure in the game of baseball today, maybe

192
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: the most important. But the rules are the rules, and

193
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: Pete Rose found out about those rules, and Pete Roles

194
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: has been expelled from baseball for over thirty years. John Dowd,

195
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: who did the investigation of Pete Rose, was on my

196
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: radio show many times back in the day, and I

197
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: asked him several times, in all your investigation of Pete Rose,

198
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: was there any evidence, any hint of evidence that he

199
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: ever bet against the Rets as a player or as

200
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: a manager, And he said no, he always bet on

201
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: them to win, but there were days when he didn't

202
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: bet on him to win. And I'm like, okay, So

203
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: he had his number five starter going against the other

204
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: team's ace. Yeah, I'm not going to throw my money

205
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: away and say, oh, we're going to win today. But

206
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: that was his argument. So the problem for Shoeotani is

207
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: if there's even evidence of a single bet on the

208
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: Angels to win a game, that's it. He's expelled from

209
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball for life.

210
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no question about it. They cannot not do that.

211
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 2: And what really sucks is there's people out there that

212
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: want him to, you know, fail this situation. They want

213
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: the worst of it, right, And it's like, let's say

214
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: it comes out and it's like he didn't been on baseball,

215
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 2: but they're going to find him. People are always going

216
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: to say they were just covering it up, Like he's

217
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: never going to be fully cleared of this.

218
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: Nobody's correct.

219
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: It is ever going to believe that whatever comes out,

220
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 2: if it's just that he really was helping his buddy out.

221
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 3: They're going to find him x y Z.

222
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: He's always going to be tainted now because of this,

223
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: which is what I can't get over because I can

224
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: I read what people are saying online, and there's people

225
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: who want him to fail in this situation. And it's,

226
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: like you just said, he is such a big part

227
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: of baseball right now, and the whole story is just

228
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: there's so many questions to it, and that's not a

229
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: good sign. You know, the fact that the interpreter had

230
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: an interview which I don't understand how this interpreter had

231
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: an interview that the Dodger's allowed or that you know,

232
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: show Hayes lawyers allowed, and then that was retracted the

233
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: next day. All it just doesn't look good. But again,

234
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: no matter what comes out, it's tainted. He's tainted, and.

235
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: I hate that well, and it is a fact. And again,

236
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people that really could give a rats

237
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: ass about major League Baseball or any sport or jumping

238
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: all over this, a jumping on inclusion of the gambling

239
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 1: world into the world of sports. Are we going to

240
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: be able to reverse course on that, no more than

241
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: we are to reverse course on nil. Once the cat's

242
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: out of the bag, the Cats out of the bag.

243
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: You have signed on for billions and billions of dollars

244
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: of revenue funneled into Major League Sports by these gambling establishments,

245
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: and there's no going back on that. So we'll talk

246
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: more about that on the other side. Actually on the

247
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: other side that we're going to switch gears a little bit.

248
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: We haven't had a chance to catch up with him

266
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: from the Tairak dot com studios. Well, it's been a

267
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. It's about time we catch up with

268
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: our dear friend. He is our Fox Sports NFL insider

269
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: Adam Kaplan is joining us right now. Adam, we got

270
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: a lot to catch up on. But I'm going to

271
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: go with a little different twist here, and it has

272
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: to do with the show Hey Otani investigation in Major

273
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: League Baseball, and so what's happened from this is that

274
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: the news media, the non sports people are all over

275
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: the sports world for getting intimately involved with these gambling

276
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: establishments with the idea that you ask for it, now

277
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: you got it, and you are in for big trouble.

278
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: Now we know the NFL has been battling with rules

279
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: about even if you're betting on other sports, if you

280
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: do it on the grounds of your own team, you're

281
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: facing a lengthy suspension. Now that they got this full

282
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: scale investigation of Otani, and if it turns out, I mean,

283
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: if it turns out that he bet on the Angels

284
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: to even win a game, he's done. Like that's it.

285
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: He's out a Major League baseball for life. This is

286
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: bringing this this whole gambling thing back into focus when

287
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure these sports are just saying, look, the other

288
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: way is billions of dollars of money coming into these

289
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: leagues with their association with these gambling establishments. But how

290
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: do you think the NFL handles this situation.

291
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 6: I mean, what they've done when any other scans of

292
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 6: happening in any other sports. I know, in the locker room,

293
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 6: they'll repost or or update or say, hey, this is

294
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 6: a reminder, here are the rules in terms of gambling.

295
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 6: Look out for this. I've actually seen that in the

296
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 6: locker room. There's a big poster, you can't miss it

297
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 6: in the locker room, and then there's re.

298
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 7: Education with it.

299
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 6: The NFL office comes to and visit, not just on

300
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 6: the rules, but they'll talk about on the field roles.

301
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 6: They'll talk about the gambling and stuff like that. So yeah,

302
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 6: that's what will happen. But look, we've had, Look, we've

303
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 6: had Calvin Ridley's son, this big deal you know, with

304
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 6: the Titans, he missed a year of football and that

305
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 6: that was the probably the biggest player of all of them.

306
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 6: And this is something Steve you mentioned in passing. The

307
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 6: NFL is obviously has invested in DraftKings. Some of the

308
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 6: first investors of DraftKings were the Patriots ownership.

309
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 7: So yeah, look, it's you know, it's a tough deal.

310
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 6: It's kind of weird, like players are not supposed to

311
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 6: be going into not supposed to be placing bets, you know,

312
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 6: stuff like that on the premises, others certain roles because

313
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 6: the superworld being in Las Vegas, what.

314
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 7: They could and could not do. It's kind of an

315
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 7: odd deal, but it is what it is.

316
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: Do you think this show he Atani is going to

317
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: have a ripple effect in the NFL, NBA, in other sports?

318
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 6: Well, now you correct me if I'm wrong, because this

319
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 6: is not my previance. So so the guy that alleged

320
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 6: has been alleged to have done stuff is his interpreter?

321
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 7: Is that correct?

322
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: Correct?

323
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: Correct? And they changed their story to the idea that

324
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: he was that Otani had paid off, you know, millions

325
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: of dollars of debt and gambling debts to the guy

326
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: to this guy stole the money from Otana, which is

327
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: obviously a very different thing. Oh boy, yeah, yeah, so

328
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: they're changing their story.

329
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 6: Yeah. So look, it's again the lead because it's such

330
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 6: a natural story. Now, we don't have any that. We've

331
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 6: had some international players, by the way, you're playing in

332
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 6: the National Football Very few of them have kind of

333
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 6: made it in a prominent role here. But I don't

334
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 6: know if anyone having the terrepreter to answer your question.

335
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: All right, So last week Rich and I went through

336
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 1: every single quarterback in the NFL and our Sunday show. Okay,

337
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: so we went through all thirty two teams. Who's the starter,

338
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: who's the backup?

339
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 7: You know?

340
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: Which teams are still in need of a quarterback?

341
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 7: You know?

342
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: Ye? So let's let's start with this basic question of

343
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: all the quarterback moves that were made in a frantic

344
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: week that first week with free agency and everything else,

345
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: who did the best job of addressing their quarterback situation.

346
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 6: This may not be a popular chake, but because I've

347
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 6: talked to the Steelers a bunch, just getting someone who's

348
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 6: been there and done that, who's won us her bowls,

349
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 6: been to one of Russell Wilson, I know he's not

350
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 6: the same player. He did have twenty six passing touchdowns.

351
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 6: Think about the room and how it's been upgraded at Pittsburgh. Yeah,

352
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 6: Kenny Pickett, who got benched, he got healthy, but they

353
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 6: wouldn't put him back in. Mason Rudolph finished the season

354
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 6: as a starter in the playoffs, and when you look

355
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 6: at it with Pickett and Trubisky, Trubisky would wind up

356
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 6: being cut went back to Buffalo. Now they've upgraded with

357
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 6: Russell Wilson, who's a borderline Hall of Famer, probably won't

358
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 6: make it, but as a boardline Hall of Famer, we

359
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 6: know he's not the same player, but he still has

360
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 6: got something left. Clearly that something left. And Justin Fields,

361
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 6: who's a very intriguing quarterback. We know that the Bears

362
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 6: were going to move on, but they've improved the room. Steve,

363
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 6: it's a good question the way you teed me up

364
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 6: on that.

365
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 7: Now. I love the Kirk Cousins move.

366
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 6: I actually wrote a piece for Profootballnetwork dot Com. It

367
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 6: was just to be on the draft, but it wound

368
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 6: up being all free agency because everyone wanted.

369
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 7: To talk about their favorite moves.

370
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 6: So I just queried them, Hey, what do you I

371
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 6: have to talk and talking to six different guys, coaches,

372
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 6: in front office people, and you know, guys like the

373
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 6: guys like their Kirk Cousins move because it's it's been

374
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 6: since Matt Ryan the Falcons had a competent quarterback. It's

375
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 6: a little bit of a gamble though, thirty six years old,

376
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 6: which he turns in August and come back with torny kellies.

377
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 6: That's certainly a question mark. But he was playing incredible

378
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 6: football before he got her. Let's not forget about that.

379
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 6: So he gives them a boost. But I really liked

380
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 6: the Russell Wilson move. Look, they're somehow, somehow, they pushed

381
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 6: for a playoff spot this past season. So look, they've

382
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 6: upgraded the room significantly and they're gonna be better football

383
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 6: team because of it.

384
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 2: Speaking of upgrading the room, the Titans are upgrading their roster.

385
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: I can't believe that the Chiefs let go of Lagerius Snead.

386
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 2: I know they didn't want to pay him.

387
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: I get that. I still can't believe it.

388
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: If you're trying to go for a three p now

389
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 2: they have Calvin Ridley, they have Tony Pollard.

390
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 3: Do you think that is enough to compete.

391
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: In the AFC South, maybe knock off the Texans or

392
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 2: do you think they still need to make more moves

393
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: because they have a young quarterback.

394
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

395
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 6: Talking to people, Yeah, talking to people there, they were

396
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 6: going to be pretty aggressive because they knew they knew

397
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 6: they had one of the worst rosters of the National

398
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 6: Football League. Everyone I talked to you last season who

399
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 6: went up against them could not believe how bad the

400
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 6: roster was. And Mike Rabel had them competing, but it

401
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 6: was a bad roster. One of the worst offensive lines,

402
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 6: to no pastroage, bad secondary, look, you name it. They

403
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 6: needed it. They touched almost all levels of their defense.

404
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 6: They need edge rushers. They'll get to that at the draft.

405
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 6: They added two significant pieces at corner and then when

406
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 6: you look at their offense, he had, in fact, in

407
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 6: that piece I wrote for Profobnework dot com, a lot

408
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 6: of people like the Tony Pollard move because their offense

409
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 6: was so slow. Guys last season, they need some juice.

410
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 6: And I could tell you the Jaguars are heartbroken. It

411
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 6: was between the Jaguars and Titans for Calvin Ridley, and

412
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 6: I could tell you from talking to people. Then with

413
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 6: the Titans, they thought he was going back to Jacksonville.

414
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 6: They up the ane and they got him. I got

415
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 6: to give ownership credit. They're they're they're not a team

416
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 6: that spends a lot because they're they're not a cash

417
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 6: rich team comparably to others. But they went after it

418
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 6: and they'll be more competitive. No, they won't be a

419
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 6: playoff team. But you know what's great about that division?

420
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 6: Two years ago Las Vegas ods makers had the Jaguars

421
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 6: this four, and after five wins, you know, they won

422
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 6: the division. This past season, the Texans were picked anywhere

423
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 6: from five to six and a half wins, they won

424
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 6: the division. So who knows, maybe you'll be maybe a

425
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 6: shaker this year.

426
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: All right, it, but you never know. I got to

427
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: ask about two teams, the Vikings and Broncos getting back

428
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: to quarterback. All right, So the Vikings are at eleven,

429
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: Broncos twelve in this draft. Top three picks Bears Commander's

430
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: Patriots obviously have made room getting rid of their quarterbacks

431
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: to draft a quarterback, so they're gonna get in some order.

432
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna see Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake May.

433
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals seems set at four with Marvin Harrison junior, which

434
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: brings us to the Chargers at number five. Chargers need

435
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: a lot of work. I mean, this is not to

436
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: be a quick fix for Jim Barbara. They've got a

437
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: lot of work ahead. And you know, I don't blame

438
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen for throwing it back in their face saying no,

439
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm not taking another pay cut just to pease you guys.

440
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: I came off a really good year. So he's now

441
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: with the Bears. But if you're the Vikings or the

442
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: Broncos sitting at eleven and twelve in need of a quarterback,

443
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: are you trading a future number one? I mean to

444
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: move up to number five, you're gonna have to give

445
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: up like a future one, if not more, to move

446
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: up in this draft to get I don't know JJ

447
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: McCarthy or Michael Pennix junior. Could you see either one

448
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: of those teams doing that? And if they don't do that,

449
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: what exactly are their plans? Jared Stidham, Sam Darnold, is

450
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: is that really their game plan to open up the

451
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four season.

452
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 6: Well, dever, Steve needs a lot, But just looking at

453
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 6: the top of the draft, that work on our way

454
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 6: back in the top ten.

455
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 7: The Giant certainly could go for quarterback.

456
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 6: I know they're committed to Daniel Jones because it was

457
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 6: thirty five million, that's fully guaranteed the season he's coming

458
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,239
Speaker 6: off with tow An ACL they're not committed to him

459
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 6: after the season, So they could certainly draft a quarterback

460
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 6: at six.

461
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 7: I know for a fact they've not ruled it out.

462
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 7: Five the Chargers.

463
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 6: I've got them in my mock draft, my latest mock

464
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 6: draft going with Dallas Turner, who's the best, probably the

465
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 6: best edge rusher for the draft from Alabama, who's certainly

466
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 6: going to go top ten. He could very well be,

467
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 6: and I have him as being the first defensive player

468
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 6: off the board. But you know after that, Atlanta's not

469
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 6: going for quarterback. That see, you don't have to trade.

470
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 6: You could trade up till eight. And by the way,

471
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 6: Atlanta has been in trade talk for certain players. They

472
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 6: knew they have to kind of not rebuild their defense,

473
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 6: but they need a lot of help. Offensively. They're looking

474
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 6: great right now, They've got to build their defense. Their

475
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 6: their defense is not very competitive. Well, let's put it

476
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 6: this way. They play hard, They do the best that

477
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 6: they have with the talent they have. They just don't

478
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 6: have enough talent. So that's that's where they're going to

479
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 6: go is defense, probably at number eight. So if you're

480
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 6: you know, if you're a team that wants to trade

481
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 6: up for quarterback, I think you got to talk to

482
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 6: Atlanta and then Minnesota. Now at eleven, I've got McCarthy.

483
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 6: By the way, my latest mock draft at profooballnetwork dot com.

484
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 6: Whi's your debut on Monday. I'm gonna put McCarthy there

485
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 6: at eleven. Now, I could tell you this is an

486
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 6: amazing thing. I've actually talked to guys in scouting around

487
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 6: the league. One guy's got a mid second another guy's

488
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 6: got a third round grade on him. That's okay, He's

489
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 6: going on the top half of the draft. I'm pretty

490
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 6: certain of it.

491
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 7: Yeah.

492
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: Well, that's when we look at the draft from three

493
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: years ago. Let's see, we had five quarterbacks taken in

494
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: the first fifteen picks, and four of them are no

495
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: longer on those teams.

496
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 6: Crazy four of them. Wow, four of the five. That's

497
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 6: really bad in three years terrible scouting. Let's just like

498
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 6: really embarrassing.

499
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: That's I say that because Zach Wilson technically is a

500
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: JEF and we know they're trying to give them away

501
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: if they can, there are no takers.

502
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 7: So U mean it's not good. It's not good.

503
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: It's not not good at all, Adam. I'll tell you what.

504
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: We could go all day, but we're out of time.

505
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: As usual, brilliant stuff, Adam. Can we count on you

506
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: back every single week we need?

507
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 7: Yes, I'll be here next that effect.

508
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 6: I'm living for the owners Minx tomorrow and Orlando, so

509
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 6: we'll be happy to talk about potential rule change. Now

510
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 6: again they've been voted on and we'll see if anything changes,

511
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 6: but we'll talk next week.

512
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: All right, very good, thanks so much, Adam Kaplan. There

513
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: are Fox Sports Radio NFL Insider. All right, let's find

514
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: out what is trending right now? This guy's always trending,

515
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: is that right?

516
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 6: Yes?

517
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: Well, the fact is is that right? It doesn't matter

518
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: what circle you run in. Somehow, Brian Fanley's name always

519
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: seems to come up. I'm not quite sure why that is,

520
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 1: but you're everywhere Beef.

521
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 8: Well, you know, it's just trying to be you know,

522
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 8: a one or two job or three jobs to pay

523
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 8: the bills, right, you know, it's as Monty knows, you

524
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 8: gotta work more than one. And for me, you know,

525
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 8: as you guys know, it's versatility is employability. Now, somebody

526
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 8: might say, well, if you get really good at one thing,

527
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 8: then that's probably what you should be doing. But what

528
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 8: if a door closes for that one opportunity, that one

529
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 8: sport you threw your life into for whatever reason, whether

530
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 8: it's you're not good enough, or there's politics, whatever, at

531
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 8: least you have a place to piv.

532
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: You always have to have a Plan B CD all

533
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: the way to Zee exactly. Yes.

534
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 8: So the plan as far as how this update is

535
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 8: gonna go like that, you alan A or Plan B

536
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 8: on this, I think we're gonna do a Plan A.

537
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm very good.

538
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 8: The Plan A is that we start with Men's Division

539
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 8: one NCAA Tournament second round action, and Gonzaga is on

540
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 8: to a sweet sixteen for a ninth straight year after

541
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 8: beating Kansas eighty nine to sixty eight, a two seed

542
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 8: in Arizona, the seventy eight to sixty eight victory against Dayton.

543
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 8: Right now, North Carolina, the one seed has a thirty

544
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 8: seven to thirty one edge against Tom Mizzo and the

545
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 8: ninth seed Michigan State.

546
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: About a minute remaining.

547
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 8: First staff Armando Baycot has supplied eleven points for the

548
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 8: twenty eight and seven North Carolina tar Hills. On the

549
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 8: women's end, Caitlin Clark had that twenty seven point eight rebound.

550
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 8: Tennis's performance are a top seed in Iowa as they

551
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 8: thrill and a ninety one to sixty five take down

552
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 8: against a sixteen seed in holy Cross. And after things

553
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 8: were tight in the first quarter, the Hawkeys outscored holy

554
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 8: Cross twenty five to nine in the second quarter and

555
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 8: the rest was history from there, never giving up a leader.

556
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 8: Things were never really close. What's going on right now

557
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 8: in women's soups. You've got the seven seed all miss

558
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 8: up on Marquette in the fourth quarter fifty nine to

559
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 8: fifty Texas anm Corpus Christi is getting a man handled

560
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 8: by a one seed USC halfway through the fourth quarter

561
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 8: seventy seven to fifty. Juju Watkins a superstar for USC,

562
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 8: twenty three points, four blocks already, and it's halftime where

563
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 8: West Virginia and Princeton twenty six to twenty four in

564
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 8: favor of the Tigers again. NCAA tournament, first round on

565
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 8: the women's side, it is day two. Some of the

566
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 8: other notable finals Notre Dame wins against Kent State Yukon

567
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 8: eighty six to sixty four winners against the fourteen seed

568
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 8: Jackson State, Paige Becker's had twenty eight points, eleven rebound,

569
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 8: seven assists. You have followed her injury history, and so

570
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 8: she was back out there starring in a big way

571
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 8: for those three seeded Yukon Huskies. Speaking of a three

572
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 8: seed NC State sixty four to forty five. They won

573
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 8: against the fourteen seed at Chattanooga. And I'm gonna leave

574
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 8: you all with that game because there was something that

575
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 8: happened in that game Moncey and Steve outside the realm

576
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 8: of the players and who won that I think is intriguing.

577
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 8: They switched one of the officials at the half at

578
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 8: that game, the NC State Chattanooga game, And this is why,

579
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 8: because they realized a half in that one of the

580
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 8: officials got a graduate degree from Chattanooga and she's officiating

581
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 8: the game, and they didn't realize it until the half,

582
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 8: and they said, you know, that's probably a background conflict,

583
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 8: So they pulled her after the first half. They found

584
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 8: somebody else who was officiating an earlier game and said Okay,

585
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 8: let's just do that. But that was one of the

586
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 8: weirdest things, as I send it back to you, Stephen Monty,

587
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 8: I've ever seen they pulled an official because the official

588
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 8: had an association with one of the schools in the

589
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 8: NCAA tournament that she was offiching.

590
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: How do you not have that information before all of this? Yeah,

591
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: you would think that would be like you have one job,

592
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: right exactly in the assignment of these officials to all

593
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: these different games, that you do a full vetting of

594
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: each one of them where they came from.

595
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

596
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's unbelievable about women's basketball. The mighty leaps.

597
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: It's taking, guys, when you think about obviously the notoriety

598
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: of that Caitlin Clark has gotten both positive and negative.

599
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: That's what happens. You know, they build you up and

600
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: then they got to chop you down. As you know,

601
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: some have questioned the validity of her scoring and why

602
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: she's getting so much attention everything else. How about this

603
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: Kim Moulke store, Oh so good, so good, this supposed

604
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: hit piece. Yeah, that the Washington Post is putting on her.

605
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean, this is when you know you've arrived, right,

606
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: when they're trying to bring you down. Did you have

607
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: the latest on this?

608
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 8: Well, I was gonna say, I was curious Moncey and

609
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 8: Steve what you thought when they spill the details on

610
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 8: this thing. Considering how rigorous the response has been from

611
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 8: Kim Mulkie, where it sounds as if she is going

612
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 8: to throw everything in defense with the top attorneys in

613
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 8: the country. She's saying, and we're going to soothe the

614
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 8: Washington Post. So if you have that sort of energy

615
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 8: and response to this, what is she so afraid of

616
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 8: and what potentially could this report show.

617
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I I don't know what can

618
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 3: come out. She's obviously trying to prevent something.

619
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: But what she said, like if somebody's been bothering me

620
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: for two years and I don't want to talk to you,

621
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: and then you come out and you put this hit piece,

622
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: I would also be like, no, man, I literally told

623
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: you I didn't want to talk to you, and here

624
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: you are harassing other people trying to say that you

625
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: could say something bad about me anonymously like that would

626
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: upset me.

627
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 3: So I don't I am actually on her side here.

628
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 1: Well, it seems to be a direct attack on LSU

629
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: because she pointed out a hit piece they did on

630
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly exactly. Yes, football coach obviously at LSU now so,

631
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: but we don't know the full extent of it, other

632
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: than the fact that this is what happens when you

633
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: get a lot of success. In note of writing, Kim

634
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: Malki obviously has had a tremendous amount of scess. And

635
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, I had won a championship at Baylor, and

636
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: then she goes to LSU wins a championship. By the way,

637
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: she got a ten year, thirty six million dollar extension

638
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: after winning the national championship. Did you ever dream I mean,

639
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: for someone like me that was there in the very

640
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: beginning stages the development of women's sports at the collegiate level.

641
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: To know where they were then as opposed to where

642
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: they are now, I almost say, be careful what you

643
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: hope for, because once you get to that level, there

644
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: are going to be people that are going to target you,

645
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: no question about it.

646
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 8: Well, and I'll leave you all with this one last comment.

647
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 8: Having lived in the South, I lived in Memphis, I

648
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 8: lived in North Carolina. I know this is a Washington

649
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 8: Post that is based sort of in the Northeast if

650
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 8: you want to look at it like that. But I

651
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 8: have to say that there is with journalists, and I

652
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 8: don't want to point every one of them out, but

653
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 8: there is this holier than now if you live in

654
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 8: the Northeast when you're doing a story on those who

655
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 8: live in the South. I'm not saying that that has

656
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 8: anything to do with this particular piece, but those in

657
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 8: the Northeast think very high of themselves and they often,

658
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 8: for whatever reason, they look down on people who live

659
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 8: in the South.

660
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: Okay, well, those people that turn themselves journalists are not.

661
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: Now you're just doing an opinion piece. Because if that

662
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: is your emma, if that's your purpose of writing something,

663
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: then just label it for what it is. There's an

664
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: opinion piece. You want to have an opinion, that's fine,

665
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: but you can't label it as journalism if you have

666
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: an agenda.

667
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 8: But Monsy and Steve, you know that there's really no

668
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 8: such thing as non biased journalism these days.

669
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: Well that's unfortunate. That's very, very unfortunate. And I've seen

670
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: the evolution over the years. I really have. It's crazy,

671
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: and you're right, I mean, everything's about opinion, which is fine.

672
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: Just call it what it is. Don't try to label

673
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: yourself as a journalist when all you're doing is giving

674
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: personal opinions. If everyone has a right to have their

675
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: own opinions. I've never said I was a journalist. I

676
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: always said this about sports journalists. Sports journalist is an oxymoron,

677
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: because my attitude was, if you've chosen to be in

678
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: the sports world, it's because you're a fan of sports.

679
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: And if you're a fan of sports, then you're a

680
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: fan of certain teams. From the time I entered this

681
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: business thirty five years ago, I made it clear I

682
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: am not a sports journalist. I am here to give

683
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: you my opinion with all the biases from every direction.

684
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: I know you're going to know where I stand on this, that,

685
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: and everything else. I'm an opinion person. I'm not a

686
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: sports journalist, So you know, I know there are some

687
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: that are trying desperately to hang on to that Moniker.

688
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't buy it. If you really wanted to be

689
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: a journalist, you wouldn't be in sports. We're to the

690
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: toy factory. At least we try to maintain that, right.

691
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Mike, drop on that. Steve, I agree with you.

692
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: Thank you, appreciate that all right. Coming up on the

693
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: other side, we're going to get back to what's going

694
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: on in this tournament right now and one coach that

695
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: got eliminated way too early? What is the future of

696
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: John calip at Kentucky will break it down. This is

703
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: So after a hot start, Michigan State has come back

704
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: to earth North Carolina, laiting at the half by a

705
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: score of forty to thirty one. Meanwhile, also off to

706
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: a hot start was Washington State. Iowa State back in

707
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: it now, trailing Washington State nineteen to seventeen inside five

708
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: minutes ago in the first half of that game. By

709
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: the way, we got coming up, did any how many

710
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: people out there had Oakland versus NC State in their

711
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: second round matchup, the fourteen versus the eleven.

712
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 3: It was people who went to that school.

713
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 4: That's it.

714
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: I mean, wow, Remember NC State the only reason they

715
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: got in the tournament, they had to win the ACC

716
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: tournament and they pulled the upset over North Carolina and

717
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: the a SEC championship game still as an eleven seed.

718
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: Now one conference that really took a hit so far

719
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: as the SEC. And honestly, if you've been watching SEC

720
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: basketball recently, they've been down and you think of Kentucky

721
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: even I mean Kentucky basketball, right, what are the all

722
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: time basketball programs like powerhouses? Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke

723
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: I used to like to say UCLA. It's a little

724
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: hard to defend that these days, but I mean, there

725
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: are certain schools. You know, most schools have an identity

726
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: based on their football teams, but there are schools when

727
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: you say the school name, you think basketball, and certainly

728
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: Kentucky is one of those schools.

729
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

730
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: So when John cal Perry came to Kentucky, that program

731
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: had really hit the skids, and as he did at

732
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: UMass and as he did at Memphis, it was an

733
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: immediate turnaround and everything was looking great until the canceled

734
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: Tournament of twenty twenty. Since then, remember the twenty twenty

735
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: one season. Do you remember that year for Kentucky? They

736
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: were nine and sixteen, nine and sixteen Kentucky basketball. So

737
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: the last three years they've been you know, at least

738
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: in a tournament, but first round loss to a fifteen seed,

739
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: second round loss, and again a first round loss to Oakland.

740
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: And so when you think about it, they've won one

741
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: tournament game in the last five years. And that's just unacceptable,

742
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: unacceptable at Kentucky.

743
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: At Kentucky exactly, the problem.

744
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: Is the buyout in the Caliperry contract. And this is

745
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: the hold up on it's over thirty million dollars.

746
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know what you do. I don't

747
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 3: know what you do, but it's unacceptable.

748
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, I was watching one of the

749
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: Kentucky outlets and they were talking about already like all right,

750
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: well who would be the guy? And you know where

751
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: they were talking about Bruce Pearl. Look what he's done

752
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: at Auburn. I'm sorry, Bruce Pearl just lost to Yale. Yeah,

753
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: in the first round.

754
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 7: Two.

755
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: That would be a tough sell with it not to

756
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: the Kentucky fans that we fired Cali Perry to bring

757
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: in Bruce Pearl.

758
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 3: And I think that's the big conversation. It's like, who

759
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 3: are you gonna get right now?

760
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: Like I understand the frustration with the fans because the

761
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: last couple of years have been underwhelming and you're supposed

762
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: to be a powerhouse in basketball. So I understand the frustration,

763
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: but is who are you gonna get really well?

764
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: I also found it interesting that Cali Perry after that

765
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: loss to Oakland. By the way, the guy that came

766
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: off the bench for Oakland hit all those.

767
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: Se threes are so good, and I'm like, how old

768
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 3: was that guy?

769
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah?

770
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 7: What is he like?

771
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: Thirty five years old? Yeah?

772
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 3: He didn't definitely look like a man for sure.

773
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: And this is the point that Calipari was making after

774
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: the game, is that you know his one and done's

775
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: that he's done year after year after year after year.

776
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: It's not working anymore. You know, his average age was nineteen.

777
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: He was like, I think Oakland's age was like twenty four. Okay,

778
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: but you've been facing this for many, many years. This

779
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: is nothing new to you.

780
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 2: In that game though, Like the frustration is that you

781
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: should have beat Oakland, but that you know, we've seen

782
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 2: it where just shots don't go in for a team

783
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: and then shots just fall for the other Those shots

784
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 2: that that dude was making were not easy shot.

785
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the first half he was unconscious. He was on

786
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: a five year But did you see this season? Oh yeah,

787
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: like there was only like seven shots he took during

788
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: the entire year that were inside the three point line.

789
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all he did that.

790
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: It's not that he was expected to do that, but

791
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: it wasn't like a guy who had only taken one

792
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: three point shot throughout the entire year and then did this.

793
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 3: Now, like you just said, I think it was right too.

794
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: No, but I mean you if that guy comes into

795
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: the game and you know he's only going to do

796
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: one thing, then you need to do some better defensive strategy.

797
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: Sure, but he was still.

798
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 2: Making shots with hands in his face like they tried,

799
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 2: and he was still making them. Like maybe you needed

800
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: to prevent him from getting the ball. But I thought

801
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: that there was guys that just were so close and

802
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 2: stuck to him and they could not believe the shot

803
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: went in behind them.

804
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,479
Speaker 1: I would say this to Kentucky fans hanging there with caliber. Yeah,

805
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: he's still one of the best coaches going and there's

806
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: nobody out there that you're going to replace him with

807
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: that's going to be better.

808
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. Yeah.

809
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: After his first year of Kentucky, I asked him, is

810
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: this the toughest coaching job in America? He shared a

811
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: story We're up against the clock that basically said yeah

812
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: it is, and he found about it right now much more.

Speaker 1: after the first couple of days in the.

Speaker 3: First place by himself.

828
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he had twenty four, right, did you see?

829
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 1: I was looking down the list of some of our listeners.

830
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,919
Speaker 1: There were a couple of people that had twenty eight

831
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: out of thirty two in the first round. That's pretty impressive.

832
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 3: No, that is pretty good.

833
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: Is twenty eight out of thirty two? Wow, Jonas? It

834
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: will not last forever. Now I walk in here, I

835
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: was twenty and twelve. Moncey was twenty one and eleven. See,

836
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: you're figuring I could still catch her. And then we

837
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: started comparing the rest of our brackets. I'm already eliminated.

838
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: I believe we almost have the exact same picks the

839
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: rest of the way.

840
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, just a few here and there. But yeah, isn't.

841
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: Is there money involved in this at all?

842
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 8: No?

843
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 3: No, just glory, glory, glory, that's it, as Jonas pointed.

00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, I get that.

848
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want to want it was at the bottom.

849
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 3: Who's at the bottom.

850
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: Let's see, I'm checking out Jeff Schwartz. Jeff had thirteen

851
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: in the first that's thirteen and nineteen. What do you

852
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: pick every upset known to man? Yeah, seriously had thirteen.

853
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got seventeen total.

854
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: Now he's got seven. But that's updated, that's updated. This

855
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: is the most were we data right now, I think

856
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm moving up.

857
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 3: Let's see. So Jonas knocks again by himself. He's got

858
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 3: twenty eight.

859
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: He's at twenty eight.

860
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 3: And then what do you have?

861
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: Now I have?

862
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 2: I have twenty five and I'm in fourth place, tied

863
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 2: with Bernie Fratta, Chris Flank and Maller TJ.

864
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 3: Who's Mazata? Rich Hornberger?

865
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: Right? And then I have twenty four and then you know, no,

866
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: you have.

867
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 3: Twenty two, twenty two. You're in seventh place. He's tied

868
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 3: for seventh place with Rich Davis.

869
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 1: And first of all, when they say tied for seventh,

870
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: here here's how it works. I'm actually tied for like nineteen. Yeah,

871
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: so they just go down the list like in other words, Yeah,

872
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: one person alone at the top, and then three people

873
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: are all tied for second, and the next person would

874
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: be fifth, except it says third. So it's slightly exaggerated there.

875
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, makes it makes you feel better, Yeah, yeah, exactly.

876
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 2: All right, Well that's not I don't have to scroll

877
00:43:59,239 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: too far.

878
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: This is the norm for me because you know there's

879
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: going to be upsets. You know there's going to be

880
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: that Oakland. You just got to figure out which one right,

881
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: And I never seem to figure out the right one.

882
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: I've gotten years where I decided one year I just

883
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: go the favorite in everyone yeah, like the better seat?

884
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 7: Why not?

885
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:17,959
Speaker 1: Nothing works?

886
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 2: No, nothing works. I had friends ask me for advice.

887
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 2: They're like, can you help me fill out of bracket?

888
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 2: And I was like, no, just pick whatever colors you

889
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 2: like the most. I don't look at their mascots, like,

890
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 2: just who cares.

891
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 3: It's not it's not what you think. It's never what

892
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 3: you think.

893
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: Well, I told the story about a co worker on

894
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: television news anchor and she had never done a bracken.

895
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: She desperately want to be, you know, part of the

896
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: cool crowd. And so she's looking at the back and

897
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: she says, what where is ball Street? I go, no,

898
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: st is State, not Street. Guess what she won? Good

899
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: for her? And what made it unbelievable was it was

900
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: a year where Vileanova played North Carolina. I had North

901
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: Carolina going all the way, she had Villanova. She picked

902
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: Villanova because she's from Philadelphia, so it was the one

903
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: school she knew and they actually played each other in

904
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: the championship game in Villanova beat him.

905
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 3: Good for her.

906
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: See that's what I'm saying, right, that's how you have

907
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 2: to pick just you know, a little bit, a little bit.

908
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 3: Of logic, a lot of just mot Yeah, don't overthink it.

909
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: So right now, North Carolina, after a slow start, suddenly

910
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: has opened up a double DigitaliD over Michigan State up

911
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 1: by eleven, and Washington State got off to a hot start.

912
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: Iowa stayed, has come all the way back, so they

913
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: are tied half the half. Still got a lot of games.

914
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: It's always amazing when you start with sixty eight schools.

915
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: You know, they got the first four and everything, and

916
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: then you're down to sixteen.

917
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 3: I know so quickly.

918
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. See for me being a UCLA Brewing fan, knowing

919
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: that UCLA should be in the tournament every year, I

920
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: don't even count the years. If they don't get to

921
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: the sweet sixteen, oh wow, you're tough. Well, I don't

922
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: think school like UCLA getting like Kentucky fans right now

923
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 1: are not celebrating, Wow we made it into the tournament.

924
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 3: Fair No, yeah, yeah.

925
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: If you're a Duke, if you're in North Carolina, if

926
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: you're Kansas, if you're Kentucky, you're UCLA. If you don't

927
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 1: make it to the Sweet sixteen. It doesn't.

928
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 3: So you think getting to the Sweet sixteen is.

929
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: It's legit because you've won a couple of games, You've

930
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: gotten to the second weekend. Yes, that to me is

931
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: where I really start saying, all right, that team did something.

932
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: If you get to the sweet because he won a

933
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: couple of games.

934
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

935
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 1: I get that. That's the way I look at the tournament.

936
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: All right. We started the show today, we're talking about

937
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: the tournament everything else, also talking about this show. Heyo

938
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: Tani situation. What's going on, by the way, for the Dodgers,

939
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: this trip to Korea just messy with messy Yamamoto. Wow,

940
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: So I had mentioned this about the Dodgers, and we're

941
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna get John Paul Morosi coming up on the show

942
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: this weekend here on Fox Sports. He was all excited

943
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: about going to Korea, not realizing that almost every interview

944
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: he's been doing now has to do with the Otani situation.

945
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: But I said this to the Dodger fans out there,

946
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: Dodgers over runners like one hundred and two and a half,

947
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: And I'm like, who's pitching for the Dodgers. We have

948
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: no timetable on Bueller's return. We have no timetable on

949
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: Kershaw's return. So you have Glass now who's been hurt

950
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 1: most of his career, and then you have Yamamoto, who's

951
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: the highest paid pitcher in major league history, who hasn't

952
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: thrown a single pitch in the major leagues and now

953
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: he has. He pitched one inning and his ERA after

954
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: one game is forty five point zero zero.

955
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's not good.

956
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: It was.

957
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 3: It was brutal, it was rough, gave up five runs.

958
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I e.

959
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 3: But you know, seed, it was his first gang.

960
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 6: Oh.

961
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: I heard Dave Roberts spin on. He goes it's he's

962
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: not his stuff. He just didn't have command. Except that

963
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 1: was the hype on Yama mode, right, is that when

964
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: it comes to command, this guy's command is literally off

965
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: the charts.

966
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

967
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 2: And when they I heard that too, and I was like,

968
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 2: that's not what you want to hear, Like if you're

969
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 2: a fan, if you're that's just not what you want

970
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 2: to hear because you'd been telling us that that's.

971
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 3: What his bread and butter was, command of all his pictures.

972
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:26,720
Speaker 3: And then oh, he just didn't have the command.

973
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: No, yeah, we saw that.

974
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: Here's what I saw fastballs at ninety three miles an

975
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: hour over the middle of the plate. Oh Aje League

976
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: baseball players will burn that up all day. That's batting practice.

977
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 3: Yes, love, that's that's cake for them.

978
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'm not giving up on a season that

979
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: has one hundred and sixty games left for the Dodgers.

980
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: But that was not an encouraging sign. So you have

981
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: Yama Moto Yamamoto's situation on top of Otani. Yikes.

982
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 2: Did you think maybe it was even a little bit

983
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 2: more stressful because they were in South Korea a two

984
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 2: hour plane ride from Japan, So like, I feel like

985
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 2: there there was just so many extra eyes that maybe

986
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 2: they weren't expecting.

987
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to, you know, try trying.

988
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: I understands someone that has tours of Dodger stadiums, you know,

989
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 1: when is your when do you get started with the

990
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: regular season or.

991
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 2: We're actually starting tours with the Angel Series, which is

992
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 2: so weird because we're going back to spring training for

993
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 2: the Angel Series.

994
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: Okay, So but I'm sure because you you always say,

995
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 1: knowing you anybody have any questions, yeah, because you're always

996
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:29,479
Speaker 1: ready to share.

997
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So people are like, so it's so finality.

998
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: They do already know your answers.

999
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 6: No.

1000
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 3: I literally just told the tour guides that we're training.

1001
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, maybe don't say that for

1002
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 3: a little bit.

1003
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: Just don't say you don't want to say anything.

1004
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 3: No, you don't.

1005
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: And so just and obviously we've been told, you know,

1006
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 2: don't because we don't know anything. We don't we don't

1007
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 2: know what, we don't know the details. But yeah, that

1008
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 2: that whole any questions, it's always risky. It's always risky

1009
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 2: to say that.

1010
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: So I always someone says, yeah, manci if if if

1011
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: he's found guilty of actually betting on baseball games, is

1012
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: his contract null and void? Uh?

1013
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 3: Hard to pass? No, no, next question?

1014
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: Wow, oh yeah, it's again the thing that just I

1015
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,720
Speaker 1: had to laugh about because I I'm hoping the worst

1016
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: case scenario for show A is that he just likes

1017
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: to gamble, right that you know, he didn't bet on baseball,

1018
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: but he likes to bet on the NBA, or bet

1019
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: on the NFL, or.

1020
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 3: Do all this and he's gonna get a big fine.

1021
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: But the idea that he would cover the gambling debt

1022
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: of his interpreter, and that gambling debt is four and

1023
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: a half million dollars. I'm like, how much money are

1024
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: you paying your interpreter? I know, but it doesn't seem

1025
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: likely that an interpreter has enough money to have four

1026
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars of gambling debt.

1027
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 3: Unless the interpreter kept telling the bookie like.

1028
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 2: Hey, I I could cover it, cover it shows my

1029
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 2: guy Like what if that's it was something like that?

1030
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: Well, but see that was the original story? Is that

1031
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 1: show Hey, because show Hay's name is on these trains, correct,

1032
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: multiple tras. The original was is that show Hay, as

1033
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: a favor to his friend, was covering his gambling debt.

1034
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: But then people are like, that's not good because the

1035
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 1: I R S will come after you. Show Hey. If

1036
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: that was then all of a sudden, it's like, oh no, no,

1037
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: he he was stealing money. Yeah, well that's a that's

1038
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 1: a completely different.

1039
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 3: Thing, right, But it's just like, really like did we

1040
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 3: not know this? I you know, I really I.

1041
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 1: Wasn't familiar with the I R S. But anyone that's

1042
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: been deal to him by the I R S is

1043
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: very familiar with. They don't care who the hell you are,

1044
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna get you.

1045
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I really, really don't think he bet on baseball,

1046
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 2: because how stupid can you be?

1047
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 3: You know, right? Like that's I Maybe he does like

1048
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 3: to gamble. I mean, who does it? Everybody loves to gamble.

1049
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 3: It's true. I love getting you take me to Vegas.

1050
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 3: I'm at the relet table for hours on that thing.

1051
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 1: See, I'm not a gambler.

1052
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 3: At the relat table. I can be there hours.

1053
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. And I think it does raise

1054
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: a much larger question that suddenly is springing up everywhere

1055
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 1: about the association that these professional sports, even collegiate sports

1056
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: now have with these gambling establishments. Is a fair criticism.

1057
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna break it down. This is Fox Sports Saturday,

1066
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: off the air. So it's a major story, and it's

1067
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: really just crawling along right now. It's Major League Baseball

1068
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: does a full scale investigation of exactly what went down

1069
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: with sho Heyotani and his interpreter, and again, it's got

1070
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 1: to be one of three things. There really only three

1071
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: choices here. Either the last story they told is true,

1072
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: where sho Heotani had no idea that this guy was

1073
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: stealing money from him to payoff gambling debts. That's, of course,

1074
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: assuming that somehow on an interpreter's salary that he had

1075
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: four and a half million dollars of gambling debt.

1076
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,919
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, he could have just told the guy,

1077
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 3: I work for Sho hao Tani, I'm good for this.

1078
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Well that's okay. That's one scenari And the second

1079
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: scenario was the original story is that show Heyotani because

1080
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: his name is on this transaction, that he was doing

1081
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 1: so to payoff debt for his friend, but that he knew.

1082
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: And then the third scenario is the fact that this

1083
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: guy is not gambling at all. He's just the front

1084
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: guy for a show Oh hey Otani who likes to gamble,

1085
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: which by the way, is not a crime in terms

1086
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: of his future in Major League Baseball unless there's a

1087
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: direct line where he bet on a Major League Baseball game,

1088
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: even if he bet on one Angel game to win,

1089
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 1: I know it's not. That's it. He's expelled from Major

1090
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: League Baseball for life. Because remember we were talking earlier

1091
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: with Adam Kaplan about the sign clarifying that sign for

1092
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball has been up there forever, that if

1093
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: you bet on Major League Baseball, even if you're betting

1094
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: on your own team to win, that's it. You're done.

1095
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: In finished.

1096
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 2: In one of the documents I read about the conversation

1097
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: with Ipe, he says, no, there is no baseball betting.

1098
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 3: They tell us that we have a meeting about it.

1099
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 3: We didn't. So there is a line where he addresses that,

1100
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 3: and he says, absolutely not. I would be so surprised

1101
00:54:56,239 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 3: if either of them bet on baseball. It just seems

1102
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 3: like you can't be that dumb. You can't be you

1103
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 3: have been in the league many years, you're not new.

1104
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 3: There's no way. There's no way I will cut my

1105
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,439
Speaker 3: foot off. There's no way, Steve, all.

1106
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: Right, let's let's take it. Let's take a look at

1107
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: this twist. Let's say that show Hay knowingly is paying

1108
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 1: off his friend's gambling debt. Yes, but that his friend

1109
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:30,439
Speaker 1: was betting on major League Baseball. So you have show

1110
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: Hay's signature on these transactions to pay off bets that

1111
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: were made on baseball, even though he directly did not

1112
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: make that bet.

1113
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:41,959
Speaker 3: That would suck.

1114
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: That would suck, and that would be something that Major

1115
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: League Baseball would have to interpret as well.

1116
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 2: Right, And oh my god, that would suck. What does

1117
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 2: Baseball do in that situation? Because once what we said

1118
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 2: in the last hour, right, that's like, no matter what

1119
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 2: show Hay is tainted with the story, and if major

1120
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 2: League Baseball comes out and like we investigated, show Hay

1121
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 2: is innocent. It really was all the interpreter. He's the

1122
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 2: one who did this, whether it's that he stole, whether

1123
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 2: it's he's the one who was betting. But show Hay

1124
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 2: is good.

1125
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna believe that.

1126
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: Look, I have defended Pete Rose from the get go,

1127
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: and I interviewed Pete Rose when Baseball was investigating him.

1128
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: I actually interviewed him in nineteen eighty nine when the

1129
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: investigation about Pete Rose was going on, and I actually

1130
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: in my interview I asked him or told him I said,

1131
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: it's got to be satisfying that you've gotten a lot

1132
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: of support in this investigation. And his attitude and his

1133
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: answer to me was, well, they should be supporting me

1134
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 1: because I haven't done anything wrong, because in his mind,

1135
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: I never bet against my team. I never did anything

1136
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 1: to throw a game. Never, And indeed the investigation proved

1137
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: that he was absolutely right. There was no evidence he

1138
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: ever bet against the Reds or did anything to throw

1139
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 1: a game. He did bet on the Reds to win. Yeah,

1140
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering with the proliferation of gambling. As you say,

1141
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: it's so commonplace now, and obviously we have sponsors here.

1142
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: All the major sports have sponsors. It's very much mainstream.

1143
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: You know the sports gambling is legal. You know how

1144
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: every state is adopted it, but it can be in

1145
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: every single state. Is that a dangerous thing in your opinion, Yes.

1146
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 2: It's a slippery slope, and especially because like in the NFL,

1147
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh, you can bet, but you just

1148
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 2: have to be away from your facility. Oh you want

1149
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 2: me to cross the street and go make a bet

1150
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 2: and that's okay, and then just come back to the

1151
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 2: facility and we're good. Like I just think it should

1152
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 2: be a very clear you cannot bet during your season

1153
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 2: at all.

1154
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, like I say, in the NFL and

1155
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball has had it clear you bet on

1156
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: a Major League based And now I don't know. I mean,

1157
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: this is as old as time. I mean, I'll go

1158
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: really old school with you. So, Leo du Rocher was

1159
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: a great manager back in the forties and the fifties,

1160
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: even into the sixties. He's in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

1161
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: He was a very colorful character, to say the least.

1162
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: And he was the manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. And

1163
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: it was found out that he had an association with

1164
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: some underworld people. Major League Baseball suspended him for an

1165
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: entire year. Now, he did come back. He ended up

1166
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: with the Giants, he won World Series. He eventually went

1167
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame. But after he died, like

1168
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: he had a Hall of Fame resume. But if sho

1169
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: Heo Tani at the very least is involved in transactions

1170
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: with an overseas gambling establishment, how does Major League Baseball

1171
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: handle this situation? Because whatever you do with Sho Heo Tani,

1172
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: some people say, well, it's sho Heo Tani, right the

1173
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: Golden Child, right, and not only that, he's from Japan. Right,

1174
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: He's not even an American, so's he's from Japan. So

1175
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: it would affect Japan's biggest celebrity, which Otani is, becomes

1176
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: an international issue.

1177
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah no, this couldn't be more messy. I could not

1178
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 3: be more messy. And also the timing of it, like seasons.

1179
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: Just about to start, okay, So why do you think

1180
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: the time I don't know, it don't.

1181
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 3: The timing to me adds to it that somebody maybe

1182
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 3: wanted this to come out.

1183
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: Well, whatever transgressions he was involved was was when he

1184
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,439
Speaker 1: was with the Angels, with the Angel six years yeah,

1185
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: six years.

1186
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No, I know, it's really really messy.

1187
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 2: I don't know how baseball handles it because of all

1188
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 2: of the things we just listed. He is the face

1189
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 2: he is baseball right now, and he just joined the Dodgers,

1190
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 2: is one of the biggest teams in baseball, and we

1191
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 2: already have.

1192
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: This well, and I thought you brought up the point

1193
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: earlier that was right on the money. It really doesn't

1194
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: matter how this plays out.

1195
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 3: It doesn't He's tainted and people are.

1196
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Never they're all going to say, oh, they had to

1197
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 2: cover it up. They had to, so we're never going

1198
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 2: to know the truth. Like it's it's never going to

1199
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 2: be resolved, it's never going to be just put away.

1200
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 2: It's always going to come back up.

1201
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: Well, this was you know, I was in San Diego

1202
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: when Fernando Tatist Junior got suspended. You know, he had

1203
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: been hurt and then they were waiting for him to

1204
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: come back and he gets suspended for peds And I'm thinking,

1205
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: here's a guy, he's twenty two years old, whatever reason

1206
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: that he got busted. If this guy goes on and

1207
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: play twenty years, three thousand, hits five hundred home runs,

1208
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: you're telling me that any chance he has of getting

1209
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame are out permanently. Yep, for

1210
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 1: an indiscretion that he made when he was twenty two

1211
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: years sold at the very beginning of his career.

1212
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, tainted, tainted so early, it doesn't matter what he does.

1213
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: And think about the way the Dodgers. The justification of

1214
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: the money the Dodgers gave show, Heyodanni wasn't just based

1215
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: on the unicorn effect that he can hit fifty home

1216
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: runs or you know, win twenty games on the mount.

1217
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: It was a marketing strategy that this money will pay

1218
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: it's back tenfold from the marketing that we can do

1219
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: for show Heo Tani.

1220
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 2: The minute we signed show Heo Tani the next day,

1221
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 2: amount of guests coming to take a tour.

1222
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 1: Right the next day, Steve. But if his star power

1223
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: suddenly evaporates because of this incident, if the marketing aspect

1224
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: of him is eliminated, and remember this whole contract essentially

1225
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: is deferred.

1226
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 2: Right, So I think if it comes out that he

1227
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 2: was not involved and it really was the interpreter, but

1228
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 2: he gets fined, I don't think the marketing for him

1229
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 2: will go down. I just think there's gonna be a

1230
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 2: lot of people to still, you know, talking their smack.

1231
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 2: But I don't think the marketing will be affected because

1232
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 2: more people.

1233
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: But we still even if he never bet on baseball

1234
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: or never bet the idea that his name is on

1235
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: the transactions to cover his friend's gambling debt.

1236
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 3: No, it's messy. It's messy. It's really really messy.

1237
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 2: But I don't think if it comes out and they're like, yeah,

1238
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 2: we're just gonna find him, you know whatever.

1239
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 3: But it's not that he bet on baseball.

1240
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 2: That's the only thing that I think actually would ruin

1241
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 2: his market is if we find out he bet on baseball.

1242
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: If he bet on baseball, he's out, period, right out.

1243
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: And then yeah, then then there's no doubt about the market.

1244
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: There is no market for him there.

1245
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 3: But really I think the market will still be there.

1246
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 1: I wonder what the are in Japanese. We should look

1247
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: this up about gambling. I would imagine they have very

1248
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: similar rules. Like just well, I mean, let me ask

1249
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: you this. I mean, for a lot of people listening

1250
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: out there, younger people especially that have just known a

1251
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: different world, is gambling a big deal? I mean, we

1252
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: used to talk about the integrity of the sport, and

1253
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: I used to mock Major League Baseball when they were

1254
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: saying about the steroid era, Well, you're jeopardizing the integrity

1255
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 1: of the sport. And I'm like, you mean the integrity

1256
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 1: of sport that banned an entire race of people for

1257
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: sixty years? Is that what we're worried about the integrity

1258
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball? Are you kidding me? What integrity?

1259
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: And we're talking about entertainment, are we not? Yeah?

1260
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 3: This is from what I understand is actually gambling is

1261
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 3: pretty illegal in Japan.

1262
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine it is.

1263
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless it's you know, very specific areas.

1264
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, gambling, Well, this is his friend. By the way,

1265
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: if if they are throwing him under the bus, that

1266
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: he literally was stealing millions of dollars from Show Hey, o'donnie,

1267
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: you might as well throw away the key, right, you.

1268
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 3: Might as well throw away the key. God, that's so bad.

1269
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 3: That's so bad.

1270
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 1: That would put show Hey in a tough spot. All right,

1271
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,439
Speaker 1: let's find out what's trending right now. I know he's

1272
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: got an answer to all this. This is a very

1273
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: complicated situation.

1274
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Brian tell us, well, what's the money line?

1275
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 8: As far as there's got to be lines out, Well,

1276
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 8: think about this, there's gotta be betting lines on whether

1277
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 8: or not he's gonna get docked for, say, if it

1278
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 8: goes to the extreme, and then he was betting on baseball, Like,

1279
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 8: why is it that people think that when it comes

1280
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 8: to gambling. Now, you're probably gonna put gambling lines on

1281
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 8: what happens to Show Hey.

1282
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: That's that's gambling. I mean people that gamble will gamble

1283
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: on anything, right, I mean, I know these people. I

1284
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: worked with one of the most notorious gamblers of all time,

1285
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: the late great Chat forty, and so I got the

1286
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: inside of a compulsive gambler. He was a man that

1287
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: way back in the day when he was directing Monday

1288
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: Night Football, the Olympics, whatever he was involved with. He

1289
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: had Super Bowl nineteen between the forty nine Ers and

1290
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, was the first Super Bowl that ABC had,

1291
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: and he's directing the game, obviously he's ABC's number one

1292
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: sports producer, and as he's getting ready for the game,

1293
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: he gets a phone call that a well known Hollywood

1294
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: celebrity I will not mention the name, is taking all

1295
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: bets that he loves Miami on the game. Long story short,

1296
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: by the time the game kicked off, Jet forty had

1297
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: over two hundred thousand dollars bet on the game. Imagine

1298
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: trying to direct a game the magnitude of a Super

1299
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Bowl while you have two hundred thousand dollars on the

1300
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: outcome of this game. So when I would talk to

1301
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: him about gambling, which scared the Jesus out of me,

1302
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: which is why I've never been a gamble and the

1303
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: mindset of a gambler, like a real gamb I'm not

1304
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: talking about someone that's just doing, you know, fun stuff,

1305
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: but the serious gamblers, they'll go at all lengths to

1306
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: get any edge they can get. Well, there is this

1307
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: diagnosable obsession with gambling with a lot of high achieving people.

1308
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Now you could say that that's athlete related. Look, we

1309
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: could talk about Charles Barkley, we could talk about Michael Jordan.

1310
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: I guess I'm more in the school of thought with

1311
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: Manse here. I don't think it's going into the road

1312
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: of baseball. But when you've got highly competitive people that

1313
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: are really good at something, there is this piece of

1314
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: the brain. And I'm not a psychiatrist and I'm not

1315
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 1: going to play when on this, but there's something there

1316
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 1: that you just can't control yourself. There's a compulsion as

1317
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: a high performing athlete that you have to do something

1318
01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: to settle this unnerving feeling to win. It's not just

1319
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: you got to win on.

1320
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 8: The baseball field or on the football field, but you're

1321
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 8: always trying to win. And gambling is that NonStop, twenty

1322
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 8: four to seven opportunity to go down that well. So

1323
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure that if show Hey did it, he's

1324
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 8: not dumb enough to go down the baseball realm, but

1325
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 8: probably doing something related to other sports. But what it's

1326
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 8: said Steven and Monsey, is that we are in one

1327
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 8: of those archaic states like California, where you really can't

1328
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 8: do that, you really cannot bet, and there's so.

1329
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Many limitations sports family. Yeah, so that is mind.

1330
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 8: Boggling to me that we are at this stage where

1331
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 8: you've got professional leagues that are in bed with gambling

1332
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 8: outfits and a state that always seems to be in

1333
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 8: debt could use extra tax dollars as saying no thank

1334
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 8: you to all of this gambling money that could be

1335
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 8: funneled in if rules were changed.

1336
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 1: Well, the other thing about having going back to Tom

1337
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: Brady in the deflate Gaate situation, they used Tom Brady

1338
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 1: as an example. They suspended him four games four games

1339
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: for his involvement in deflating footballs, but it was a

1340
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 1: way for the NFL saying no one's above the law.

1341
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Of course, Brady ended up winning the Super Bowl that year,

1342
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: and he was well arrested by the postseason. I wonder

1343
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: if they would do the same thing with Otani, Yeah,

1344
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: where they sort of throw the book at him. It's

1345
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: not like if he didn't bet on baseball, obviously he's

1346
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: not going to be, you know, thrown out of Major

1347
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 1: League Baseball, but calmed down on him hard if he

1348
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: was involved in gambling, because again, he would be involved

1349
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: in gambling in the state of California overseas, right the

1350
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 1: whole shebang, and make it an example of him as

1351
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: a warning to everybody else.

1352
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 8: But Rob man for the MLB commissioner is spineless. He

1353
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 8: had the perfect opportunity. And look, both of you, I

1354
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 8: know Moncie more than Dodgers fan. Steve, you're obviously fan,

1355
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 8: but you worked in San Diego as well, so you

1356
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 8: have an affinity for the Padres. But with the whole

1357
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 8: saga between the Astros and the Dodgers, Rob Manford had

1358
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 8: this opportunity to say, hey, guys, I'm going to take

1359
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 8: a stand tier and I'm really going to punish the Astros.

1360
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 8: And he completely missed out on that opportunity. So the

1361
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 8: faith that you have that he's going to go hard

1362
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 8: on show, Hey, if the worst happens, I got no

1363
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 8: faith in that happening. I mean, right, Monseigne, because if

1364
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 8: he's not going to do something with the Astros and

1365
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 8: all of the sins and the vices that he let

1366
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 8: I mean, people were teams were coming at him for

1367
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 8: years saying this is happening. He said, oh no, this

1368
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 8: isn't happening. And then when it does come out and

1369
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 8: you can't avoid it that you don't really put down

1370
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 8: any sort of punishment and levy on these guys.

1371
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: But again, because they didn't with the Astros, it really

1372
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: left the door open for other teams to get involved.

1373
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: What's the worst thing that could happen were the Astros

1374
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: stripped of their World championship. No, And the same thing

1375
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,879
Speaker 1: with ough Tani. If they find out that he's involved

1376
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: deeply in gambling, even if it's not directly involved with

1377
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, and they don't do much about it,

1378
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 1: then you've opened the door for everybody else.

1379
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 8: Well, I think you bring up a good point because

1380
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 8: even if other teams didn't go to the extreme at

1381
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 8: that time in trying to cheat Major League Baseball squads

1382
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 8: like the Astros, everybody's looking for a way to get

1383
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 8: a leg up on other teams. So if I'm gonna

1384
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 8: denounce one team, hey, there's probably somebody in some team

1385
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 8: looking at you saying, hey, you did something a little

1386
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 8: slimy too. Maybe not to the depth into the extreme

1387
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 8: and the severity of the Astros, but I think you

1388
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 8: both bring up a lot of good points and quickly.

1389
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 8: Here in college basketball, there's three NCAA Tournament games second round.

1390
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 8: We're watching North Carolina start to pull away of Michigan

1391
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 8: State seventy three to fifty nine hundred four minutes to

1392
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 8: go in the second quarter there, so a ticket to

1393
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 8: the Sweet sixteen is on the line. Also, Iowa State

1394
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 8: and Washington State are in a tight battle here early

1395
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 8: stages of the second half, thirty six to thirty three

1396
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 8: in the Cyclones favor that is out of the East Region.

1397
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 8: And eleven seeded NC State, a team that needed to

1398
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 8: win five games in five days to get into the

1399
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 8: NCAA Tournament winning the ACC Tournament and now has a

1400
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 8: twenty six to nineteen lead against the fourteen seed Oakland.

1401
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 8: What a store with six minutes to go in the

1402
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 8: first half. NC State into a Sweet sixteen if they

1403
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,879
Speaker 8: hang on here, fourteen that needed to go the distance

1404
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 8: last week to even get into the Big Dance. And then, lastly,

1405
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 8: Arizona with the win in the second round seventy eight

1406
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,680
Speaker 8: to sixty eight against Dayton Gonzaga for a ninth straight year,

1407
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 8: they're going to a Sweet sixteen. Eighty nine to sixty

1408
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 8: eight against against Kansas and Montsi and Steve, as I

1409
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 8: get it back to you, this was a Mark Few team,

1410
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 8: the head coach for the Gonzaga Bulldogs, where people thought,

1411
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 8: is this going to be the first year in how

1412
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 8: many years ever that his team was going to miss

1413
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:53,719
Speaker 8: the NCUBLEA Tournament.

1414
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: And now it's status quo. Here he does it again.

1415
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: He's back to a sweet sixth. That's an amazing run.

1416
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: Nine straight Sweet sixteens. Yeah, nine straight that is that

1417
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: is impressive. But unfortunately for Mark Few, he's still got

1418
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 1: the big goose egg. As far as national championships. Yeah,

1419
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 1: you got to bring that up, don't you. I'm just saying,

1420
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: I mean fair or not, that's I mean. Three times

1421
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 1: Gonzaga has gone into the tournament as the number one

1422
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: ranked team in the country in the final ap pole

1423
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 1: and they still have no national championships.

1424
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 8: How often, Steve, do you have horrifying nightmares of the

1425
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,719
Speaker 8: Jalen Suggs half court heave over you when.

1426
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: That happened, When that happened, it was such an improbable

1427
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: run for UCLA to go from first four to final four,

1428
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 1: only the second team to do it, and when that

1429
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: shot went in. As shocking as it was, I wasn't upset.

1430
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: I really wasn't, because my thinking was it would have

1431
01:12:56,160 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: been more upsetting. It it's like a fluke, like you

1432
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 1: lost on a fluke. Ucla played such an incredible game,

1433
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:09,560
Speaker 1: going toe to toe against an undefeated again Zaga team. Undefeated.

1434
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 1: I will say this though, when Gonzaga got wiped out

1435
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:15,640
Speaker 1: by Baylor the next game, I.

1436
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 3: Was pretty happy about that.

1437
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 8: I could just hear you screaming like a pretty puvescent

1438
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,599
Speaker 8: voice when that shot went in, like your voice cracked.

1439
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: I was at work, I was at the TV station.

1440
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 1: I just it was so stunning. It just ended like this,

1441
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 1: back and forth. We're going to go overtime, you know,

1442
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 1: do you see I have enough gas to go overtime

1443
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: against an undefeated, number one ranking Zaga team and then

1444
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: check goes in. So I just I even. I think

1445
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: I put out a rare tweet after that about the

1446
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 1: fact that, as shocking as it was, I still, as

1447
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 1: a UCLA fan, can I can live with that. I

1448
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 1: thought your personal assistant did all the tweets for you.

1449
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: That assistant would be the lowest paid assistant ever because

1450
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:00,679
Speaker 1: I only put out one tweet like every three months,

1451
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: so that that would be a really low paying job,

1452
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: very low paying job. ALRBFEM, Well, he's got some very

1453
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 1: interesting thoughts. And again, you know, on social media, I've

1454
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 1: been sort of you know, just checking out what basic

1455
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: you know, sentiment is, and you can just get a

1456
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 1: sense that a lot of people are like, why are

1457
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 1: we even talking about? Who cares?

1458
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1459
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 3: I mean that is the grand picture of gambling, I

1460
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 3: think is that.

1461
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: That's unless you absolutely are paid to throw a game

1462
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: and you purposely do something to throw a game, that's

1463
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: where you cross the line. Obviously, Yes, But if you're

1464
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: just betting on games, even if you're betting on your

1465
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: own team, as long as.

1466
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 3: It's to win, I'm with you on that. What's the problem, right,

1467
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 3: you're betting on them to win.

1468
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: If anything, you want more players betting, putting their own

1469
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: money on the line, maybe they'll play a little harder.

1470
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. I agree. So just I'm reading

1471
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 3: the Japan Times.

1472
01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 2: So they have these little not casinos, but something called

1473
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 2: parlors like a casino. They're not open twenty four to seven,

1474
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 2: and they're supposed to be for like amusement purposes, So

1475
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 2: you can't make a lot of money. In fact, you

1476
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 2: win like trinkets, and then you go off site and

1477
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 2: then your trinket you can exchange it for money, but

1478
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 2: it's not supposed to be a lot because they don't

1479
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 2: want you to.

1480
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: So they're not big gambling, No, n are.

1481
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 2: There are four sports that you can bet on because

1482
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 2: their government runs sports, and those are the only ones

1483
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 2: that they allow gambling. Currion cycling, motorcycle racing, horse racing,

1484
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:32,639
Speaker 2: and motor boat racing.

1485
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: Uh oh, I don't hear baseball yep.

1486
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 3: So those are the only four that you are technically

1487
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 3: allowed to gamble on.

1488
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 1: Well, I will say this, if this guy went rogue

1489
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 1: and suddenly would throw away everything that he worked up

1490
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 1: with with his friendship and his partnership for six years

1491
01:15:54,760 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: with the most famous person in Japan to incur four

1492
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 1: and a half million and steal money from show Hey

1493
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 1: to cover his debt, knowing how that would be viewed

1494
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 1: back in Japan, And like I said, they'll throw away

1495
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,959
Speaker 1: the key on this guy. Yeah, does that seem possible

1496
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 1: that he would do that or was he?

1497
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 3: It does not seem impossible.

1498
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 1: Was he the only person that had access to bank account?

1499
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 3: No way he's the only one.

1500
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:32,680
Speaker 1: There's like, no one would notice that there's millions of

1501
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: dollars missing from the bank account that show, hey did

1502
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 1: not actually sign off on? Yeah?

1503
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 3: Did I say? It's messy?

1504
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: It's messy? All right? Coming up on the other side,

1547
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:22,879
Speaker 1: this ONN seed. So I'm looking at the overall brackets

1549
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 1: Cinderella teams. For instance, we do know that the winner

1554
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 1: had winning in the first round against Wisconsin, they could

1555
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:52,839
Speaker 1: upset Duke. Yeah, possibly Yale taking on San Diego State.

1556
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: That would be a brutal loss for San Diego State

1557
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: if they lost to Yale. But I guess it's possible.

1558
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 3: Duquine man, I didn't pick them, and I should have.

1559
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: You know what really killed my son when they beat

1560
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: b Yu. I said, how do you not take Ducane?

1561
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: When the coach of Ducane was Lebron's coach in high school? Right,

1562
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 1: He's like, what, yeah, I go, Yeah, the Caine coach

1563
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 1: was the Lebron's coach for two years when Lebron was

1564
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:23,719
Speaker 1: in high school.

1565
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 3: You know, I should have picked them because I butchered

1566
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:27,719
Speaker 3: their name, But I didn't.

1567
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 1: Do you like to see a lot of I mean

1568
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon is still alive. They take on Alabama. I

1569
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:35,759
Speaker 1: did pick Grand Cannon and take care of Saint Mary's,

1570
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 1: which they did.

1571
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 7: Do you.

1572
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:40,680
Speaker 1: We liked the first round, but do you want to

1573
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: see a bunch of double digit seated teams in the

1574
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: sweet sixteen?

1575
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 3: Because I don't have a you know, a dog in

1576
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 3: the fight. I truly don't care. I do because that

1577
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 3: just sounds like it's going to be a mess.

1578
01:19:55,920 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 2: But I think, like for big college basketball fans, they

1579
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 2: don't want that, you know what I mean.

1580
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean last year's Final four, Yukon had been

1581
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 1: sort of out of the mix for several years, and

1582
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,560
Speaker 1: then they had Miami of Florida, Yeah, Florida Atlantic and

1583
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: San Diego.

1584
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 3: State, and they was so good for me.

1585
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,080
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that Florida Atlantic, san Diego State. Yeah,

1586
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: buzzer either by Lamont Butler. I jumped out of my

1587
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: seat ten feet on that shot. But yeah, I mean

1588
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: I think that more than anything else, as the tournament progresses,

1589
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: I don't think we really think about the seats.

1590
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 3: I don't.

1591
01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you're most people outside of a school,

1592
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: but you follow religiously. You don't know anybody else in

1593
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,799
Speaker 1: this tournament, so it doesn't matter if it's Grand Canyon

1594
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 1: or Kentucky. I mean, you probably know as little about

1595
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: them as you did Grand Canyon, So you get to

1596
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: know these teams exactly.

1597
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 3: Just make it a close game, that's what I want.

1598
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 3: Make it exciting, make it fun, that's all I care about.

1599
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 1: But to have a thirty five year old at Oakland

1600
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: making threes, I don't know about that. Kevin Ver much
