1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man. It is that

3
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: time of week. My name is Bernie Friday. We are

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: come to your line from the Fox Sports Radio studios

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. We'll take it to three am Pacific,

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: six am Eastern as usual, a plethora of topics to

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: get to. I will be giving a review preview of

8
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: the Elite eight Final four, some thoughts, some takeaways. There

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: are multiple key storylines to watch for as the twenty

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: twenty six Major League Baseball season is underway. By the way,

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: I already hate the ABS system. I'll explain later. I

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: think people are gunshoy as to how to use it,

13
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: when to use it, and I don't know why you

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: would not ever use it only on the third strike period.

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: I'll explain the Kyle Schwarber at bat today that you

16
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: know underline or underscore was my point. But we'll get

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: to all that stuff in just a bit, because there

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: was a story that hit yesterday that just I cannot

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: I cannot let it go. I've I've always been a

20
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods fan. I remember I was just getting my

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: starting radio when he was a freshman at Stanford on

22
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: the golf team. And I remember when Nike gave him

23
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: sixty five million dollars before he'd ever even want a tournament.

24
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: And I said, he's going to be a bargain. He'll

25
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: make up a billion, and he did. There's an old

26
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: story about men with experience and knowing better. Now there's

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: the story goes like this. So father and son are

28
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: walking out in the wilderness and the father looks at

29
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: this son. He says, you know, when you get to

30
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: a certain when you get to a certain you know,

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: station in life, you can you can just about tell

32
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: the future by putting your ear to the ground. And

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: he puts his ear to the ground and he goes,

34
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: you'll see some someday. And they're walking long and and

35
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: about fifty I'll be darned. About fifty yards up the road,

36
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: they see a gentleman laying with his ear down to

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: the ground. He goes, there is you see Look at

38
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: this guy, Look at so cadre. He's got his ear

39
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: to the ground. He's he's gonna tell us the future.

40
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 2: Say what do you see it up there, buddy? And

41
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: the old man looks up and says, well, there's a

42
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: stage coach, a stage coach due north about a mile

43
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: due northeast about a mile with a husband and wife

44
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: driving it, two white horses, and oh yeah, they've got

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: a they've got a grand piano in the back yet

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 2: so it's up about a mile. Oh my god, that's amazing.

47
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: The son said, how do you know that he goes,

48
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 2: because it just ran me over about ten minutes ago,

49
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 2: which brings me to Eldrick tiger Woods. You know, there's

50
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: no saying in life, too much is given, much is expected,

51
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: and unfortunately, there are scores of stories over the decades

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: to where an individual is gifted with a tremendous amount

53
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: of talent and that talent takes them to a plateau

54
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: where their character can't seem to keep them. Tiger Woods

55
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: has been involved in four high profile vehicle accidents since

56
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: twenty oh nine, and the most recent was well Friday,

57
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: for some of my listening audience, Sunday where I'm at,

58
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: it's Saturday. But on March twenty seventh, you know what happened.

59
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: But the response by the vacuous talking heade is really

60
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: starting to make my teeth itch. You're hearing all these

61
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: disingenuous statements and platitudes. Oh I hope he gets the

62
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: help he needs. Oh, this is so sad. It's not sad,

63
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: it's maddening. It's maddening. I'll tell you what's sad is

64
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: what a house burns down in a family of four

65
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: was inside sleeping. That's sad. If you go back, forget

66
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: the twenty oh nine incident. Okay, everybody knows about that,

67
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: but let's fast forward to twenty seventeen, because what we

68
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: have here is a pattern. We have a body of work.

69
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: Now in twenty seventeen, that arrest was not an isolated incident.

70
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: I think it was a precursor this diversion program, the rehab,

71
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: the public statement about having an unexpected reaction to prescribe medications.

72
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: This was a sequence of fact pattern statements that the

73
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: press didn't really care much about. They were trying to

74
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: figure out, can Tiger Woods really come back and win

75
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: another major? And I'll be damned. Two years later, twenty nineteen,

76
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods was putting out on the eighteenth Toll and

77
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: I remember going on with Arnie and Aaron that night

78
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: and we talked about the significance, significance of this in

79
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: the lexicon of sports history, and I said, you know,

80
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: Whatdy Allen had it best. Nostalgia is a trap. This

81
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: was nostalgic. Tiger climbed all the way back to the

82
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: top of the mountain. It was incredible to see. And

83
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: then February twenty third, twenty twenty one, came along. Oh

84
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: Tiger was only going about eighty seven miles an hour

85
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: in a forty five mile an hour zone, drove off

86
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: of California, wrote her high speed, shattered his leg, nearly

87
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: lost his leg. The La County Sheriff called it an accident.

88
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: No blood was drawn, no substance test was administered. The

89
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 2: official report said there was no evidence of impairment. That

90
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: it was mostly accepted because Woods had nearly died and

91
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: it felt indecent to push this story further. But the

92
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: absence of a test is not the same as a

93
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: clean result absence of a test. What everybody was left

94
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: with in lieu of that was a story about survival

95
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: and the continued road back, and it was covered extensively,

96
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: and we rooted for tiger surgery after surgery, We're glad

97
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: he didn't lose his leg. We're glad he found his

98
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: way back to the golf course. We don't know what

99
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: was in his system that day. We're never going to know.

100
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: Does it matter? You tell me because now we see

101
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: what happened yesterday. Duper Island, Florida or Friday Woods was

102
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: driving in a land Rover near Zonomi attempted to pass

103
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: a utility truck the reporting get quote high speed. He

104
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: clipped the trailer, causing the vehicle to roll over. Now,

105
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: fortunately no one was injured. He was arrested on suspicion

106
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: of DUI, and there again the talking heads went overboard

107
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: to all play Mickey the Dunce. Because DUI stands for

108
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: driving under the influence. That doesn't mean it was alcohol

109
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: into the influence of many things, and there are many

110
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: prescription drugs and painkillers, et cetera that have side effects.

111
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: So Tiger was no problem. I'll blow. I'm gonna blow zero.

112
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: I'm sober as a judge, except you want me to

113
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: pee in a cup. Now, I don't think I'm gonna

114
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: pee in a cup. Well we okay, you don't have

115
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: to be feleany to figure that one out. Why do

116
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: you not peeing a cup unless you got something to

117
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: hide or you got set in your system. You don't

118
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: want them to know about costs for speculation. Sure, fair enough.

119
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: We're doing a radio show here. This isn't even moot court.

120
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: This is a radio show. Now. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe

121
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: you just didn't have to pee. Maybe there's an explanation

122
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: for the refused YearIn test that has nothing to do

123
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: with what happens. Happened. Everybody's in toital of their privacy.

124
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna mock the situation. But we got a

125
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: body of work here, and it's a hard argument to make.

126
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: When Tiger keeps living out these travesties in public, on

127
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: the roads when other people could be a danger, and

128
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: you keep seeing him in mug shots in sheriff's press conferences.

129
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: At some point this becomes a little maddening. Like I said,

130
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: there's gonna be more questions. Does he have an illegal exposure?

131
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: I don't think he was going to play in the

132
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: Masters anyway. I don't know, but I'm sure he's not now.

133
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: And what will the PGA Tour Committee do? Will they

134
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: stand mute? And what does this really mean for Tiger's legacy.

135
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna get into that in the mind that hour. Now,

136
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: I would say that perhaps Tiger's legacy is secure, and

137
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: you know why. But this is what we always do.

138
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: We turn Tiger Woods into a fable, a story, a golfer,

139
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: a movie, a Disney movie. But the reality is Tiger's

140
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: a fifty year old man who's obviously been living in

141
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 2: a lot of pain, physical or otherwise for probably the

142
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: last couple of decades. And I get it. He's not

143
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: the only one. Painkillers pretty much did Burt Reynolds in.

144
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: But what you got to get behind a wheel? Okay,

145
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: He's trying to hold together this public life and a

146
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: competitive lafe and his son Charlie's pretty good golfer. I

147
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: think he's going to play at Florida State. And that's

148
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: how we'll always identify Tiger more as a goalfer than

149
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: a human being, a fallible human being. Now, based on

150
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: reports from March twenty twenty six, yes, I sound like

151
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: Walter Cronkite there, I would say Tiger Wood's latest behavior

152
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: is inexcusable because again it involves a pattern of reckless,

153
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: dangerous conduct. Again another new DUI RST a car crashed

154
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: in Florida that some critics have said this is showing

155
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: a real lack of accountability when you consider there have

156
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: been previous incidents. Do you think so it's a continuation

157
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: of a pattern rather than than an isolated incident from

158
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen to twenty twenty one to now, he could

159
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: have endangered others. A lot of witnesses and experts say

160
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: his driving at high speed and overturning his vehicle could

161
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: have killed somebody on the road. I understand in that

162
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: stretching Jupiter, the speed limit is thirty I don't know

163
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: how fast he was going. They said high rate of speed.

164
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: So in the end, even though Tiger Woods has a

165
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 2: plethora of resources to have avoided this situation, like you know,

166
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: hiring a driver or avoiding to drive while impaired, it

167
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: doesn't appear that Tiger has learned from his past mistakes.

168
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 2: And I think at some point that does damage his legacy.

169
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people who take Mickey Mantle serious.

170
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: He even joked at the end, if I don't know now,

171
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: I was going to live this long and have taken

172
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: better carry myself. And I've said it. I said it

173
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: while I was on the radio in Michigan. The one

174
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 2: event that Tiger Woods never got over was in two

175
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: thousand and six when his father, Earl passed away. There

176
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: is no explanation for why Tiger continues to engage in

177
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: this reckless lifestyle. And I don't know how the hell

178
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: you would characterize it, but that's how I choose to

179
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: characterize it. So we'll see what the future holes. But

180
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: in the meantime, I don't find this real sad. I

181
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: find it very maddening. And of course that's just my opinion.

182
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: I could be wrong. Sorry, Dennis Miller. Hey, be sure

Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app. Well,

219
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: it's been a good tournament. It's been an enjoyable tournament.

220
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: My bracket right now looks like someone took a jigsaw

221
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: puzzle and dropped it on the floor. In this little

222
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: broken part. I did have Arizona winning the whole thing.

223
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: I'm not one of those people that fills out five brackets.

224
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if you do it, God bless you.

225
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: I don't. I do one. My son's got a big

226
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: pool with two hundred and twenty people in it. I

227
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: do one. I do the same one. Somehow I'm in

228
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: fifth place in the Fox Sports Radio bracket. I don't

229
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: know how, maybe because I still have Arizona winning. But

230
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 2: I had I always stay in the final four. And

231
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: when the dude went down, mo excuses, I knew I

232
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: was probably cooked, might have been cooked anyway. And I

233
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: had Saint John's, so I took a gander so in Florida,

234
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: so I had anyway, We'll see if Arizona wins, maybe

235
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: you know, I'll I'll get an Ada boy. But they

236
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: sure won Saturday, and this is a hell of a team,

237
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: and for the first time in twenty five years. We

238
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: all know it by now, they're headed to the Final four.

239
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: This was a this was a veteran Purdue team they beat,

240
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: and Arizona is still led by freshmen. You can say

241
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: they're not freshman anymore. It's see end of the year.

242
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: I get that. But Brandon Burry's, Arvin Karchenkoff CoA Pete.

243
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: They combined for fifty two points. Maybe we should call

244
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: them the Fab three, you know, the Fab five number one,

245
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: a damn thing, with all due respect, and they were

246
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: completely unfazed by the biggest stage of their young career.

247
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Jaden Bradley, he's a senior. He had fourteen points. Also,

248
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: they jump out nineteen twelve in the first eight minutes

249
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: of the game. But there's a reason, you know, Purdue

250
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: almost gets to the Final four every year and then

251
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: does what they do because they're good. But they're only

252
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: good to a point. Trey Kaufman Rehn, he picks up

253
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: an early second file, but they clawed their way back

254
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden they led it to half.

255
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: And but Arizona does what Arizona does. And I heard

256
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: somebody at halftime say, well, you know that could be

257
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: arizonmost downfall. They don't get a lot from three point land.

258
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: They're a complete team. They can cheot threes when they

259
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: need to. The number one factor that helped Arizona ruin

260
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: the final four. They're relentless in the paint. That still

261
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: works today. Hello, it carried them when it mattered most

262
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: in the tournament. For the season, Arizona ranked fifth in

263
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: the country in paint points, averaging more than forty two

264
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: points in the paint. Don't get watching, don't get caught

265
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: watching the paint dry Hoosier's reference. Yes, thank you. They

266
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: also led the nation in free throw attempts twenty points

267
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: a game in free throws forty two points in the paint.

268
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: They took a part Arkansas. They beat him like a stickhorse.

269
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: I know Arkansas is getting got to be a players

270
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: Malik Thomas and Acuff and other I don't care. Basketball

271
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: is a team sport still is, and Arizona showed certainly

272
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: against Arkansas. They had the most efficient interior performance probably

273
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: we've seen throughout the tournament. They had sixty paint points

274
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: that night, thirty points from the free throw line, the

275
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: most combined points in an NCAA Tournament game since two

276
00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: thousand and seven. Then after Purdue matched Arizona Donald Low

277
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: in the first half of their lad eighth showdown, Well,

278
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: the Wildcats they just picked up the energy, they picked

279
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: up their sense of urgency, and they just simply imposed

280
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: their will on Purdue. Yep, forty paint points, twenty from

281
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: the free throw line. That adds up to sixty. The

282
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: Boilermakers will combine twenty eight points in those areas. There's

283
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: a place in heaven for rebounders. John Wooden once said that,

284
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: so he would have loved Motehias, Crevius or Tobyoaca. They're relentless.

285
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: They're relentless. And oh yeah, Bradley Burry's and Kartoonoff they

286
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: can put the ball in the basket and that matters.

287
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: But give it up to Tommy Lloyd. I don't know

288
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: why it doesn't get there right. I don't think he

289
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: gets the respect naturally he deserves. But he preaches paint points.

290
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 2: They have an approach. I still think Arizona's doing the

291
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: whole thing. We shall see Illinois. Wow. The one thing

292
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: about brad Underwood, you know it may have taken him

293
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 2: twenty six years to become a Division one coach. But

294
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: when he got there, he proved he knows how to

295
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 2: manage talent. He always believes that his team's best player

296
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 2: should play free and have the green light. Oh, by

297
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 2: the way, his best player, I think is a freshman,

298
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: Keaton Wagler. I think Keaton Wagler will be a lottery pick.

299
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: He had a going Saturday, twenty five points. Once again,

300
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: Illinois its first final four and twenty one years. That

301
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: was the two thousand and five team with five NBA players.

302
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: I'll never forget. I was sitting at Caesar's Palace, so

303
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: it was still live bit in Michigan. Watch that final game.

304
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: It's Carolina UNI five and I lost my bet and

305
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 2: ILLINOI pissed me off and I but they're back at

306
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: the final four. Wagler again, maybe a freshman, but he's

307
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: running this show. And again in give Illinois credit for

308
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: their grit. They were down twelve to two to start.

309
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: They struggled to find a solution for Bennett Sturtz, who's

310
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: another great story in this tournament. Sturtz had fifteen points.

311
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 2: He was six to nine in the first half. Also,

312
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: Illinois didn't even get a basket for the first four

313
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: minutes of the game. That's their second longest stretch to

314
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 2: open to open a game without a point this season.

315
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: But finally they made adjustment. He were able to contain

316
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: starts after the break, limited him to two for six

317
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: shooting in the second half. And yes, the man, I

318
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: love the way those guys play, the way they distribute

319
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: the ball, they're spacing their offensive skills. Stoyakovich is just

320
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 2: he's got a pair of hands from heaven. So of

321
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: course you know Illinois waits. They'll play the winner of

322
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: Duke Yukon. I'll get to that in a minute. But

323
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: the number one factor they helped get to their first

324
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: Final Four since two thousand and five, well, if you

325
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 2: look at the Ken Palm statistics, then I don't go

326
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: overboard on it, but they matter, Okay. Their offense is

327
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: simply efficient. As a matter of fact, according to I

328
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: think the Ken Pom statistics, it's the most efficient in

329
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: Ken Palm history. But it wasn't their offense that got

330
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: them to the Final Four. It was their defense. They

331
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: held vs. You to fifty five points, they held Houston

332
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: to fifty five points, and they held Iowa to fifty

333
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 2: nine points. In this day and age of three point shooting.

334
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: That's saying something to lead three opponents like that to

335
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 2: under sixty points. They have tremendous rimt protection. They got

336
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 2: a six sense point guard and he's the shortest guy

337
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: on the team. There are a bunch of tree trunks

338
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: out there and they can all play. They limit their

339
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 2: opponents in this tournament to an incredibly low forty eight

340
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: percent in the paint. In the paint, Iowa had just

341
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: seven two pointers on Saturday. And this is a situation

342
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: where Illinois has stepped it up when it mattered most

343
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: because their defensive performance in the regular season wasn't great

344
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: and they they lost five games over I think a

345
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: three week period where their defense looked disheveled. But again,

346
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: their offense hasn't missed a beat. You had a top

347
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 2: ten defense the way they're running right now, and that's

348
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 2: a pretty good parlay. So what's gonna happen Sunday as

349
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 2: Arizona and Alion I wait for their opponents. Well, first off,

350
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: we've got Tennessee in Michigan. That'll be the early game

351
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: eleven fifteen Pacific to fifteen Eastern on CBS. Tennessee's is

352
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 2: seven and a half point under, and if you just

353
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: look at the numbers and the metrics from a box

354
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: score standpoint, Michigan looks like they're a lock to win

355
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: this game. And for most of the season they've looked

356
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: like a lock to get to the Final Four. But

357
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 2: it hasn't always been. As you don't wine in roses

358
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: and peaches and cream like you might think. There have

359
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: been several instances this year where frankly, if you've watched

360
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: the games and you trust your eyes and you know

361
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: what you're looking at, to tell you a lot I

362
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: mean this, there have been times where Michigan has looked

363
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 2: a little vulnerable. They were up only four half way

364
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: through the second half against Howard, they were playing very

365
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: tech with Saint Louis, and they trailed Alabama at the half.

366
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 2: So we know Michigan's ceiling is as high as any

367
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: college team I've seen in some time. But their consistency

368
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: can go on a walk about. I've seen it. Now,

369
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: how do they overcome it? They overcome it with explosive runs.

370
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: They'll go through stretches where they play perfect basketball, or

371
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 2: as close as you can get it perfect, and they've

372
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: relied on that. But if you rely on those stretches.

373
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: It can raise questions. It can certainly involve risk, especially

374
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 2: against a team capable of disrupting the rhythm. I think

375
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: Tennessee is capable of disrupting the rhythm. If you watched

376
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: Tennessee against Iowa State Friday night, they played a step faster,

377
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: they closed passing lanes, no free catches in space, everything

378
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 2: was contested, got to the fifty to fifty balls, played

379
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: with better energy. I thought Tennessee presents a unique challenge

380
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 2: in that regard because they have a certain type of

381
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: personnel and they have a style that can possibly exploit

382
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: Michigan's inconsistencies. They've got a really good cape point guard

383
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: I think Tennessee does, and he's the type of guy

384
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 2: that can bother Elliott Cando and Trey McKinney. And Tennessee's

385
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 2: also got the size to match up with Michigan's front court.

386
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: One of the things Tennessee does best as well as

387
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: anybody in this tournament, and I mean that is their

388
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: offensive rebounding and if they can that could neutralize Michigan's

389
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: interior advantage which Michigan is used to having, and can

390
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: prevent Michigan from finishing their defensive possessions. So as I

391
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 2: watch this game, and as you watch this game, watch this.

392
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: Can Tennessee control the glass? Can Tennessee dictate a more physical,

393
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: grinding pace. They just need to hang around and get

394
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: confidence late keep the game within reach. If that's the

395
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: game script, seven and a half points might be a

396
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: good bet. On the other hand, Michigan can be scary.

397
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: I believe Michigan prevails, but it might not be by

398
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 2: as big enough margin as you might think. The question is,

399
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: can Michigan's lapses as they have shown, be significant enough

400
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: for Tennessee to capitalize on if Tennessee stays disciplined. Okay,

401
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: Yukon Duke, I think is going to be the game

402
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 2: of the day. Yukon catching five and a half points,

403
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: it'll tip off supposed to tip off a two h

404
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: five Pacific five oh five Eastern and one of the

405
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: aspects of the tournament this year has been injuries and

406
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: whether players will play day to day. Joshua Jefferson probably not.

407
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: Didn't get to get in. I was shocked that Cable

408
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 2: Foster got in. The only reason I didn't pick Duke

409
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: to win it all is on March ninth, Cayleb. Foster

410
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: had surgery and a broken bone in his foot, and

411
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: yet he's back and he looked tremendous. If I don't

412
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: know that was gonna happen, sure that if fifs and

413
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: butts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas. Right.

414
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: But the point is dated injuries and they do affect

415
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 2: in betty market, and they do effect teams, and they

416
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: can effect outcomes of games. You could see a team

417
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: survive without a player for a couple of games. But

418
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: in the case of Iowa State, for instance, in Joshua Jefferson,

419
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 2: his absence was too much to overcome against Tennessee period.

420
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: So you have Caleb Foster having broken a bone in

421
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: his right foot. He didn't just play. He had eleven points,

422
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: He played nineteen minutes, didn't turn the ball over once,

423
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: and he was a field general.

424
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 6: You know.

425
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: Isaiah Thomas once told me he believed that the most

426
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: important position in all of sports was point guard, because

427
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: one man with the ball in his hands could dictate

428
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: the movements at nine other people. Caleb Foster is a

429
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 2: treat to watch. But what's interesting is even with Foster

430
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: and his you know, welcomed energy and this sensational comeback

431
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: performance which surprised even casual observers. Duke still didn't cover

432
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: the six and a half point spread against Saint John's,

433
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 2: which tells you that they're not a lot to win

434
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 2: this game Sunday, Duke, I don't want to be the

435
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 2: master of the pronoun outside of you know, a crazy

436
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes against TCU in the second half after Xavier

437
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 2: Edmund's got in foul trouble. If you watch, if you

438
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: watch Duke from a betting standpoint, their last twelve games,

439
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: what if I told you they're three and nine against

440
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: the number their a SEC Tournaments semi final against Clemson

441
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: in their Friday second half, they've underperformed that rating. Okay,

442
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: So here's the question. Can Caleb Foster just forty eight

443
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: hours after coming offty injured list and somehow overcoming this

444
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 2: surgery on his foot it had to have been sore.

445
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: Will he be able to replicate that production? There's also

446
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: another injury considered, Patrick and Bomba. He hasn't been able

447
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: to really get back to his mid season for him,

448
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: and he's you know, averaged ten point six rebounds twenty

449
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 2: solid events. He's not He's not been near those numbers.

450
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: So there's there's you know, it's survive in advance. You

451
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: have to win four in a row to get to

452
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: the final four, and you have to win six and

453
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: zero to win the whole thing. And yes, it's a

454
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: tournament designed to make it harder and harder and harder

455
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: the further you go. And I would say Duke's ceiling

456
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: is to win the whole thing. I'm not one hundred

457
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: percent your Yukon ceiling is to win the whole thing.

458
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: I think Arizona's this, I think Michigan's might be, but

459
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: I know Dukes in Arizona's this. Yukon, though, is a

460
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: title contender. They've won two to the last three. They

461
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: got a couple of forces in nature, Terrace Reed Junior,

462
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: Alex Caravan. So do I expect Duke to win, Yes,

463
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: But to ask them to win by six points or more,

464
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: I'm not asking him to do that. In no way

465
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: I'm laying the wood. So I think I think both

466
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: favorites probably find a way tomorrow. But I'm not laying

467
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: the wood in either game. If that makes me sound

468
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: like a fish better, well maybe i am. Except I'm

469
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: not Betneier's side in either of those games. Tomorrow when

470
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: I get up, I'm gonna look at some potential totals

471
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: plays both games. Saturday went under and Duke is the

472
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: artist team to score on in the country and Ucon's

473
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: will slatch either. They're gonna make you work for everything.

00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: we'll have a lot of meat on. I think you

Speaker 2: How do we not start with Tiger Woods? Because we

516
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: have a situation now where you have to ask, and

517
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: I want to ask the callers from your vantage point,

518
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: what does this do to his legacy? What is his

519
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: legacy in your view period? He's one eighty two tournaments,

520
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: he's one fourteen majors. He you know, made Nike a

521
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 2: billion dollars to face the golf for a quarter century.

522
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: Some people still want them to be Maybe he still

523
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: is for all, I don't. I don't know. Scottie Scheffler wins,

524
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 2: and but Nola could pick him out of a police lineup.

525
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: How's that for an irony? I mix my metaphors there,

526
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: Here's where I'm going with that. Just give me your

527
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: thoughts on this situation regarding Tiger Woods. It's his fourth

528
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: vehicle and incident. It involves bad judgment, impairment complicates his image.

529
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: I think overshadows his eighty two PGA wins. And the

530
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 2: real question is you know how much damage has he

531
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: done to his his legacy? And I want to hear

532
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: you know how the folks feel about that. He's fifty

533
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 2: years old. People have not even really seen him on

534
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: a competitive golf course since the Open Championship in July

535
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. He took some meaning swings at the

536
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: TGL and people were raising hopes that you might get

537
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 2: to see him in AUGUSTA. I think that's highly unlikely now. Uh.

538
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: And again, you've got a situation where I think for

539
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 2: a lot of folks people just thought this this was

540
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 2: behind him. Now he was you know, he he'd had

541
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: his travails, but this was this was behind him. So

542
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: how much how much damage? How much additional damage? How

543
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: do you tell me how you you feel about Tiger

544
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: Woods and his his uh, his legacy and you know

545
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: your thoughts on what his legacy should be. Maybe it

546
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 2: doesn't affect you at all. I mean, again, the the

547
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 2: I want to say this. I don't want to lead

548
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 2: to witness, Okay, I want to hear I never do that.

549
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 2: I want to hear what you folks have to say. Uh,

550
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 2: this may not have affected it at all for you,

551
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: and or you may be I'm done with the guy. Now,

552
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 2: what I do know is is that the most boring

553
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: conversations are when everybody agrees. Okay. I think this is

554
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: hugely embarrassing for Tiger. I think people thought this was

555
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 2: all behind him. Okay. And if I had a nickel

556
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 2: for every time somebody said why isn't he hire a driver?

557
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: I have my own private jet with twenty four hour access,

558
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven access, and Elon Musk would be

559
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 2: mowing my lawn. So again, not to beat a dead horse.

560
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 2: You know how much? How much has this done to

561
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: his reputation? All Right? This next subject, I had to

562
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 2: drag myself into it, kicking and screaming. But we have

563
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: to talk about this because given the Lakers recent nine

564
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 2: game winning streak and all of a sudden, everybody's in

565
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 2: happy land. I think it's fools gold. But while forty

566
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: five to sixty days ago, it would have been a

567
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 2: complete non starter to even suggest that Lebron James would

568
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: be back next year, now there's talk he could be back.

569
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: Am I predicting that Lebron will be back with the

570
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: Lakers next year? Hell no, I'm not predicting that. As

571
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: matter of fact, I don't think it'll happen, but they're

572
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: talking about it. I think, frankly, from what I hear

573
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: Lebron would like to they're not going to pay a

574
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: fifty two million, And I think if he asks for

575
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: anything above the veterans minimum, then he's being dishonest, which

576
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: I think. I've always found Lebron to be a bit

577
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: of a phony when it comes to things. But if

578
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: Lebron says, look, I just want to be here in La,

579
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: I'll do I'll take the veterans' minimum three point six

580
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 2: million or whatever it is, just let me come back

581
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: to I think the Lakers will probably signed up for that.

582
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 2: Then they'd have salary cap money, even though it's going

583
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 2: down a million, to perhaps get a real supporting cast

584
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: to get past the first or second round, or maybe

585
00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 2: even March toward conference finals or dare I mention, you know,

586
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: the the NBA Finals. But what are your thoughts?

587
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 8: Are?

588
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: There are pros and cons. Okay, Lebron's had some decent

589
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: games this year. He does provide some offensive versatility they

590
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: are showing. I don't know if it's an act. I

591
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: mean again, they're winding down now, there's seven games left

592
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 2: in the regular season. There's some chemistry. Okay, he can

593
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: fit in with the current roster, But is this just

594
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: like you know, the honeymoon period where you're trying to

595
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden when next season rolls around,

596
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 2: don't I just don't trust that the chemistry. I don't know.

597
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 2: I can't even verbalize the tell I'm trying to say.

598
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: I know he wants a farewell tour. He'd probably love

599
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: to do it in Los Angeles. That might be appealing

600
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: to LA and their brand. I don't know. Maybe he

601
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 2: gets a nine million dollar mid level exception that would

602
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 2: allow the Lakers to keep him and have significant cap space.

603
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 2: But I think Lebron needs to step up and talk

604
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 2: and speak specifically, we don't listen. I don't care if

605
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 2: you retire. I don't care if you're playing their game.

606
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 2: But I want my callers to weigh in and I

607
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: want to hear what your thoughts are, because there are

608
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 2: some pros for the Lebron fans to maybe suggest that

609
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 2: he can be back, but there are agent health issues

610
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 2: still coming off with Sidic injury. There are tremendous defensive limitations,

611
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,439
Speaker 2: and the Lakers can win some regular season games with him,

612
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: they function well without him, and I don't know what's

613
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 2: going to happen when the playoffs roll around. That's going

614
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: to tell a lot, okay, And they're trying to signal

615
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 2: this new transition to this era by Luca. Let me

616
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: get another technical dancic and you know why. So look

617
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 2: your thoughts. Would you like to see Lebron back for

618
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: whatever reason? Or do you think it's time not no,

619
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: hell no hit the road? So topic number one Tiger Woods?

620
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 2: What does this car accident do to Tiger's legacy? He's

621
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 2: had a story of unparallel athletic comebacks, but now it's

622
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 2: being overshadowed by another personal turmoil, records, behavior incident that

623
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 2: the more more that comes out, the more it makes

624
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: Tiger look at. I think it's very embarrassing people thought

625
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: all this was behind him. How much reputational damage does

626
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: this do? What are your thoughts on Tiger woods legacy? Secondly,

627
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 2: hard to believe, but it's actually blown in the wind

628
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: that Lebron could be back as a Laker again next year.

629
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,279

677
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,080

678
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 9: You know, all right, Tiger. I didn't like your monologue

679
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 9: on him. I didn't think it was right. I think

680
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 9: what you ought to do is go to Costcos or

681
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 9: home deepo, whatever's out your way, Go buy some files

682
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 9: and shopping up the guillotine. All right, you've been shopping

683
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 9: up the blade on the guillotine. You know, everybody goes

684
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 9: through things. What's all this dumping on time? We want

685
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 9: here in this cup? Oh, he passed the breathalyzers.

686
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 10: Let's see what else we can.

687
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 9: Get him on. Hey, he did a dumb thing trying

688
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 9: to pass up.

689
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 11: No, not at all.

690
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 10: Yet.

691
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 12: You don't even have all the facts.

692
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 2: How do you know what facts I have?

693
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 13: You?

694
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: He may not even be charged. What we're talking about

695
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 2: is a public figure that's icon that people have held

696
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 2: to a certain standard because they're rooting for him. You

697
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 2: asked them miss the beginning of my monologue because I said,

698
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 2: I've always been a Tiger fan, going back to ninety

699
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 2: four when I started in radio, when he was a

700
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 2: freshman at Stanford. I also said that at sixty five

701
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: million he got from Nike, I said in nineteen ninety

702
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: six would be a bargain, and it was. He made

703
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 2: him a billion dollars. But I tell the truth, and

704
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 2: there are objective truths and there are personal feelings. And

705
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: I respect your call here one of my favorites. You

706
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 2: call in every week. I love it, and I like

707
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: what we disagree, Jim, I do. But you got to

708
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 2: listen to my monologue once again, because it's far more objective.

709
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: And I'm not piling on who. I'll tell you who

710
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm piling on. I almost said a bad word, the

711
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: dumb ass talking at media people group think echo chamber.

712
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: They'd say, oh, so it begets to help. They couldn't

713
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 2: care less. Okay, this is maddening. You got the floor.

714
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 9: Well, the thing is everybody should wait until all the

715
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 9: evidence comes out before they say anything about this.

716
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: What more do you need to see? He was at

717
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 2: a high rate of speed, He was obviously under the

718
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 2: influence of something caused a major accident. Thank God, no

719
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: one got hurt in a residential area, and this is

720
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 2: his fourth one and we all thought this was behind him.

721
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: What spot to lie there? What facts do you need

722
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: to hear?

723
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 14: So?

724
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 9: Well, the thing is this happens every few seconds. So

725
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 9: we get dumped on tiger Woods just because he's a personal.

726
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 2: Well not everything the rest. Yes, he captured the imagination

727
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 2: of a billion people for a quarter of a century.

728
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 2: That's why we care. Not everybody can say they've done that.

729
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 9: Jim, all right, I don't know. The only thing you

730
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 9: agree on is indifference. I just don't buy it. O't

731
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 9: get fair by the way the way he's getting dumped on, you.

732
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 2: Know, until I appreciate that you call. And I like

733
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 2: it when we disagree. Thoughts on Lebron, Oh, Wellbron.

734
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 9: You know, Lebron's like a two you know, you know,

735
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 9: you find one minute and then next minute you're rolling

736
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 9: on the graft. You know, just go away. Don't go away, man,

737
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 9: Just go away. And I'll tell you one thing I do.

738
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 9: I hope they do not do a tool for him

739
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 9: in every major basketball city. You want to talk about

740
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 9: getting a root canal without novakay, that's what that will be.

741
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 9: If they do that, go get them kids.

742
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 2: Jim Joyr Sunday. And as far as the Farewell, I

743
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 2: won't watch one minute of it, but it's a foregone conclusion.

744
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, he's got a camera crew

745
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 2: ready and I think they're going to sell the TV

746
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 2: rights to it and actually makes some money. Spots weed

747
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 2: up in Oregon, Welcome in Spock. Hey baby, how are.

748
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 15: You doing there?

749
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 2: I'm doing just fine? All right?

750
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 15: Then, Well, the Tiger Woods thing is so much history now,

751
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 15: I will tell you, I'll be I'll be honest. He

752
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 15: lost me when he shear and his wife so often

753
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 15: and I just I just couldn't understand.

754
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 2: Why why a man would would do that?

755
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 15: And that's that's when I didn't become a fan.

756
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 2: Right, I've been married a long time and that that

757
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 2: that was, That's that's what got the ball rolling.

758
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think he needs a license revoked. I wish

759
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 15: the PGA, which there's there's something I'd like to say,

760
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 15: but I would like to see if they would stop

761
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 15: making all those And this is a real word. Peons

762
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 15: to him all the time. He has done a lot

763
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 15: of stuff that doesn't that that reflects extremely poorly on

764
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 15: him and the PGA doesn't keep lauding him as this

765
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 15: immortal player.

766
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 16: He did what he did.

767
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 15: He was an excellent golfer and he did his thing.

768
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 15: And the twenty nineteen Masters was an absolute sorry for

769
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 15: the pun masterpiece.

770
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 2: But he is absolutely That's when he climbed all the

771
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: way back to the mountain almost ten years to the day.

772
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 15: Yes, yes he did. But he has done so much

773
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 15: crap and he's got this billionaire's idea that he can

774
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 15: do anything and his stuff doesn't sink ever, And I

775
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 15: think that's wrong, and I believe it. It really does

776
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 15: tarnish his legacy.

777
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 2: All Right, buddy, let's go on to Lebron. Do you

778
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 2: think he'd be back with the Lakers or you know

779
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 2: what them? You know what I'm meaning?

780
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 15: Well, if he could be back with the Lakers, he

781
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 15: wants to be back with the Lakers. Yeah, And frankly,

782
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 15: for me, you know how how much asked Hattery, I

783
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 15: do I want the drama. I want him sucking up

784
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 15: the oxygen. I want him to make it all about

785
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 15: him and to just do everything he possibly can to

786
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 15: make Lebron to be Lebron and make him make his

787
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 15: taste in everybody's mouth. Just that much more.

788
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 2: Sour, fair enough. Will the WNBA make any money this year? Finally?

789
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 15: Oh hell no, oh gosh no. And the thing is

790
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 15: they blew. They blew their biggest star in Caitlyn Clark

791
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 15: that would have put them on the map, and they

792
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 15: continue to harass her and all the racism against her

793
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 15: and all the jealous people. The spark is gone after

794
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 15: three years. Kaylen Clark now is just kind of another player,

795
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 15: which is really unfortunate because she is so extraordinary and

796
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 15: I just got I wish that they would get their

797
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,479
Speaker 15: act together. Hopefully they make some money and they calm down.

798
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 15: But no, they really could have handled this a whole

799
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 15: different way. And I don't think they're going to do

800
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 15: any make any more money. I'm looking forward to the

801
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 15: Portland team maybe making some waves, because you know, in

802
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 15: Portland we all like the chicks and all that kind

803
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 15: of stuff, and that's wonderful. But no, I don't think

804
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 15: they're going to make make any money. And by the way,

805
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 15: I'm drinking a wonderful shot of bush Mill and as

806
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 15: I p.

807
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 2: A back, very nice not getting cheated, all right, spots,

808
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 2: we enjoy your week in my man. By the way,

809
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 2: I'll say you who's gonna be making money to players?

810
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 2: The salaries would be between half a million and a million. Yep,

811
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 2: come to a city near you, maybe Solomon in Louisiana.

812
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 2: Welcome into the Bernie Fraters here. How are you?

813
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 10: I'm good, Bernie thanctually taking my car. Great subject tonight,

814
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 10: thank you. Let's start with mister Woods. I'm very dispassionate

815
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 10: about this man. I can differentiate between the man and

816
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 10: the golfer, and I don't have a problem with it.

817
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 10: He has he still remains on the pantheon of one

818
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 10: of the greatest golfers of all time. As an individual

819
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 10: flawed as hell. Absolutely, And you said it's it's maddening,

820
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 10: it's it's disgusting, it's it's it's sad, it's it's all

821
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 10: those things. That's who this guy is. Okay, So that

822
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,439
Speaker 10: doesn't involve to me. Yeah, he's a real fraud individual.

823
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 10: Does it hurt his legacy as a golfer?

824
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 8: No?

825
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 10: As a person? Definitely?

826
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 2: Can I can differently well, stay two stated.

827
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 10: I can differentiate between your two You can.

828
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 2: Hold two thoughts concurrently. Fair enough. I think that's well said.

829
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 10: Thank you appreciate that, Lebron. Longtime Laker fan man since

830
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 10: the West Balor days, a purpose is by saying off

831
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 10: the court again, I don't like the dude. Man, he's

832
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 10: really irritating his machinations and his manipulations. I'm sick and

833
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 10: tired of it. However, on the court, I think he's

834
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,760
Speaker 10: still an asset to the Lakers. He's definitely changed.

835
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: You hold that thought, Solomon, How does that manifest itself

836
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 2: as a practical matter? Do they won one round this year?

837
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 2: Do they get to the NBA Conference finals? Do they

838
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 2: get to the finals? I am an agreement that he's

839
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 2: showing some flashes this year, but how does that manifest

840
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 2: itself the acres? The Lakers, as you know, are a

841
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 2: franchise defined by their eras which bring championships. Can you

842
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 2: really envision another championship in the Lakers future if Lebron stays?

843
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 10: Well, how long is he going to stay? Man?

844
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 2: And Mike, I think he wants to stay longer than that.

845
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 10: No, no, no, But.

846
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 2: To stay on topic, do you do you, as a

847
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 2: Laker guy, do you want him back next year?

848
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 17: Yeah?

849
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 10: For one year. I can have him. It's fair enough,

850
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 10: fair enough?

851
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 18: What what?

852
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 2: What? What kind of money do you think they get?

853
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 10: Him at se heard now now here there's the rub

854
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 10: there you go. Listen, there's always a to you have

855
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 10: to understand. For a man who has used to be

856
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 10: making fifteen million plus a year, you're going to slash

857
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 10: that not even in half and say takes three million,

858
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 10: take nine million.

859
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 2: He's already a billionaire. Is he coming back for the

860
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 2: money or the see or another champions We'll see.

861
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 10: It remains to be seen.

862
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 2: I have no con see how that plays out the WNBA.

863
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 2: Do they make money this year? Yes or no?

864
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 10: Uh? You know what, I don't think so. But I'll

865
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 10: tell you what they have to do if they want

866
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 10: to make money. I've been in the Joliy business over

867
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 10: forty years. The audience that they have to win over

868
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 10: it's not men. If they win over women.

869
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 2: They've already done that. I think fathers bring their daughters,

870
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 2: They get ticket giveaways, young girls who are playing, you know,

871
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 2: in AAU basketball or what a high school basketball. They

872
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 2: believe it or not, they've quartered that market pretty well. Solomon.

873
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 10: Uh well wait, now wait now you're saying which market

874
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 10: like father's women.

875
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 2: Daughters, women, young girls, daughters, girls who play in high

876
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 2: school in college that aspire to be in the NBA.

877
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how talking.

878
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm talking about the women that buy clothing that

879
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 10: makes the clothing industry, women that make the drolly in

880
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 10: this women medic industry. Yeah. What I'm saying, if you

881
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 10: tap into that and you get that kind of response

882
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 10: from women that will go to the the w n

883
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 10: b A and the way they go to those other fields,

884
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 10: they'll be billionaires. If they can't do that, then yeah,

885
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 10: they're going to suffer. They're not going to make money,

886
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 10: all right.

887
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 2: So I appreciate it. Really good stuff to that man.

888
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 2: Andrew and Bakersfield, welcome back in How are you sir?

889
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 13: I'm all right, how are you?

890
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 2: Good man?

891
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 11: All right?

892
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 13: So for me, I seriously, I don't think I can

893
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 13: state it any better than Solomon in Louisiana. On the

894
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 13: first topic of Tiger, That's exactly what I would say.

895
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 2: Whole two thoughts. Concurrently, his legacy is a golfer is

896
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 2: fine with you, but as a person it's not so,

897
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 2: which overshadows the other. Which again, really.

898
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 13: When you were saying your monologue and you said, that's

899
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 13: exactly what I thought. I can hold both of those truths,

900
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 13: and I don't think it ruins well, okay, I'll say this.

901
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 13: I don't think it ruins his legacy as a golfer

902
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 13: and as a person. I don't really judge in that sense.

903
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 13: So I think he can turn it around. He's still alive,

904
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 13: and so I I withhold my judgment on him as

905
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 13: a person as a golfer. It'll stay the same for me.

906
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, I can accept that. I'm not

907
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 2: trying to bury the guy. I'm just trying to call

908
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 2: it as I see it. I'm calling balls and strikes here.

909
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 2: That's what I'm doing. All right, lebron Shod, you come

910
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 2: back for one more year or not?

911
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 13: Okay, Malaker sin I would say yes.

912
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 6: I would say we should pay him whatever he.

913
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 13: Wants, and yes, and let him say for as long

914
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 13: as he wants, he's playing nice or good. They're playing

915
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 13: well together. And my thought is this, this is why

916
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 13: you want him back, because when he's gone, you'll recognize it.

917
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 13: I mean you'll realize it and you'll miss him everyone.

918
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 13: So that's what I got to say for that.

919
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 2: All right, Wnba, you're gonna make any money this year?

920
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 13: No, but I think next year they will.

921
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough? Andrew one two three simple as that.

922
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,959
Speaker 2: Mark and Maryland welcome into the Bernie Frattle Show.

923
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 16: Hey Bernie, how are you doing? You the best?

924
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 2: Ever?

925
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 16: Appreciate that I love your format. There's too many pretenders

926
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 16: out here now. As far as Tiger, Tiger is iconic,

927
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 16: I'm I'm Tiger is on my Mount Rushmore. As far

928
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 16: as being a pioneer in golf, he's a black golfer.

929
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 16: He moves the needle. I agree. Your personal life and

930
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 16: your professional life, of course, is going to blur into

931
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 16: his professional life. Okay, it's going to tarnish it, Okay,

932
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:55,959
Speaker 16: but but he is still he. Tiger is a trouble guy.

933
00:55:56,280 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 16: Tiger's an alcoholic. Okay, so you know, I'm I'm disappointed,

934
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 16: but I mean, that's that's life, and it will tarnish

935
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 16: his career. But you know, those that that you know,

936
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:15,760
Speaker 16: be careful with throw a stone.

937
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 2: I think what you're trying to say, I understand the

938
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 2: You're coming at a good angle. To those who love Tiger,

939
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 2: this is legacy secure and they're just going to have

940
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 2: to understand he's fallible. It turns out he's not superhuman.

941
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 2: For those who didn't like Tiger, this is just another

942
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,439
Speaker 2: reason for them to piss on him. So I think

943
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,280
Speaker 2: you you you articulate your point well in the sense of, look,

944
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 2: his legacy secure. Come on, man, him and Jack and

945
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,959
Speaker 2: everybody else. Right quarter of a century he owned the game.

946
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 2: I think it's some in some in some ways he

947
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 2: still does. Yeah, I accept it. It's it's almost hard

948
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 2: to verbalize. But I think I know where you were going.

949
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: Should Lebron come back one more year? Yes?

950
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 9: Or no?

951
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 2: With the Lakers?

952
00:56:58,520 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think so.

953
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 9: I think so.

954
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 16: Lebron has Lebron is the second greatest basketball player in

955
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 16: my opinion, behind Jordan and always will be behind you all.

956
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 2: That's fair. But does he help him win a championship?

957
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 16: Yes, he does. Lebron is still I've never seen a

958
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 16: player his age still effective and put up numbers like this.

959
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 2: My man, you had to see Karean back in eighty

960
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 2: eight eighty nine.

961
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 16: He was for I saw Kareem. Kareem was but they

962
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 16: wont he go ahead.

963
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 2: But I was a stringer for the Harole Exander back then,

964
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 2: covering for the Pistons, and they won it in eighty eight,

965
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 2: and the Pisteons took him the seven games. Kareem was

966
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 2: a force and eighty nine magic en Byron scot got heard,

967
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 2: and at forty two Kareem played his butt off, by

968
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 2: the way, he played like seventy five games both years.

969
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 2: Go ahead, go ahead, man, hey.

970
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 16: Listen, Kareem the most unstoppable money making shot ever. The

971
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 16: sky will is a is a picture of exquisite beauty.

972
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 16: But he was still doing that's true, that's true. That's true.

973
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 16: Let me tell you something. I believe Lebron should come

974
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 16: back because he has embraced the third option. Okay, he's

975
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 16: given the team to Luca, Yes, you know, why not?

976
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 16: You know, I think he's gracefully handed over the reins.

977
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 16: Why shouldn't he get another one?

978
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's fair. If they can agree on payment

979
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 2: and number two, if this isn't just an act, and

980
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 2: when they start up at eighty two games next year,

981
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 2: can he do for the full season. But you're not

982
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,439
Speaker 2: wrong on your premise. It's just the situation of can

983
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 2: we predict the future.

984
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 16: Lebron is smart enough as a businessman not to make

985
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 16: a big He's already made all the money in the world,

986
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 16: so be gracious and make the contract agreeable to both parties.

987
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 16: Doesn't have to be He's not worried about breaking the

988
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 16: bank no more. He wants another championship. Look, Lebron is

989
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 16: a facilitator. As far as the w NBA, the w NBA,

990
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 16: I don't know if they're gonna make if they're gonna

991
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 16: be in the black this year, but they're headed in

992
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 16: the right direction. Angel Rees, your other caller said that

993
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 16: this I forget her name. I don't know how forget it.

994
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 16: He did Clark, it was yes, Clark, it was racism. No,

995
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 16: it's not racism.

996
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 11: She was this the.

997
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 16: Latest girl on the block with the popularity. It's jealousy

998
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 16: and envy. It's not anything racist about it. Okay, But

999
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 16: they're headed in the right direction. I think they're going

1000
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 16: mainstream with Reeese, Caitlyn Carr, Ratia Jackson. They're all wa.

1001
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 16: The w NBA has never been in better shape as

1002
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 16: far as popularity.

1003

Speaker 14: Bernie, greetings and salutations. Let me attack these topics in

1021
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 14: order of importance. Will the BNBA make money this season? No,

1022
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 14: but I agree with yours. The players will be making money.

1023
01:00:55,280 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, the Soeranna bananas make more money than NBA

1024
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 14: players right now, which is sorry to say. I know

1025
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 14: someone who else will be making money during the NBA

1026
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 14: the WNBA season. That'll be me betting on Golden State

1027
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 14: on Las Vegas. I'll be covering sixty two percent of

1028
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 14: the ten Next topic, Eldrick, He's not gonna tarnish his legacy.

1029
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 14: What's on the on the course is what happened. He

1030
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 14: played himself there. What I what I hope Bernie is

1031
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 14: when you deal with the addition. It doesn't care about

1032
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 14: your economics, it doesn't care about your age, it doesn't

1033
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 14: care about your ethnic background. I hope he gets help.

1034
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 14: I hope he does. What's writing, I hope he gets

1035
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 14: straight for his kids golf aside. He's a family man

1036
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 14: with the problem, and I hope he gets straight.

1037
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 2: All right, Hold that thought, Martin, Hold that thought. Man.

1038
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 2: You know I love like fat kid love Kate. Yeah, yeah,

1039
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 2: fair enough. We've hoped that the last four times number one,

1040
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 2: number two. No one is questioning whether or not there

1041
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 2: is a physical malady here, some sort of potential addiction.

1042
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 2: We don't know. I'm not a doctor. However, don't get

1043
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 2: behind the damn wheel. That's where that's where the party begins.

1044
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 2: Every time he gets behind a wheel, you know, it's

1045
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 2: fireworks continue on, Martin. I'm sorry I had to defend there.

1046
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 14: I thought the accident he had out here a year ago,

1047
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 14: year and a half ago was due to that, but

1048
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 14: they kind of said no. But the point being, Bernie

1049
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 14: is I've never met someone who was high they didn't

1050
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 14: feel they could drive. That's that's the point.

1051
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 2: Okay, you're not wrong, Martin, You're not wrong. And Ali,

1052
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 2: but for the grace of God, go I I haven't.

1053
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 2: You know, I think the state I have done it

1054
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 2: in decades. But we both know, Martin. You know I

1055
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 2: had a three point seven in college for four years.

1056
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 2: That was my that's my blood alcohol content. Never mind,

1057
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 2: here's where I'm going with that, Martin In all seriousness, So, Okay,

1058
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 2: he is held to a higher standard. I'm sorry. This

1059
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 2: is embarrassing and it's serious reputational damage because he's a

1060
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 2: worldwide icon that captured the imagination of a billion people

1061
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 2: for thirty years. Sorry, we're gonna hold you to a

1062
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 2: higher standard. You got the floor, Martin.

1063
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 14: I agree with you, Bernie, he should be held to

1064
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 14: a higher standard. I just have a tender spot in

1065
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 14: my heart when it comes to people with addiction problems

1066
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 14: there because I know who it is is, not who

1067
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 14: they are.

1068
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 2: Well, let's get That's why I do this segment, because

1069
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 2: we get an amalgam of opinions, and in yours is

1070
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 2: always a welcome go ahead.

1071
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 14: Now, shouldn't Lebron come back. Let's put it this, say, Bernie,

1072
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 14: he's coming back where he goes there.

1073
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 2: But the Lakers. The question is Martin will should he

1074
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 2: come back to the Lakers? Is that a smart move? Bernie?

1075
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 14: I think in the hands how this season plays out,

1076
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 14: if they get to the conference finals, I'm not guarantee

1077
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 14: this guy's coming back. If we get bounced in the

1078
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 14: first round. He's probably looking to go somewhere else. But

1079
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 14: he's humbling himself, which is a great thing because I've

1080
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 14: never seen a superstar do that.

1081
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this.

1082
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 14: You say, okay, let me play the third.

1083
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 2: Start stand alone. Let me You're gonna get the last word.

1084
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 2: I just threw up in my throat. If the Lakers

1085
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 2: making I will sell you this justin Bieber will re

1086
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 2: record the Gilligans Allen theme song and sell a billion

1087
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 2: copies before the Lakers make it to the NBA Conference

1088
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 2: Finals this.

1089
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 18: Year, Bernie, I can't wait till it happens.

1090
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 2: Baby, call up and call me out. I'm telling you, Martin,

1091
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 2: if that happens, you call me up and you can

1092
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 2: ride me like a stick horse, and I'll own it.

1093
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 14: And here's the last word, Bernie, I'm gonna agree with you.

1094
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 14: The best ever, the best ever released them up and

1095
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 14: play this game we call basketball. The chaplain Kareem abdul Jabar.

1096
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 16: I love you, Bertie.

1097
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,439
Speaker 2: I'm now see you next week Martin. Yeah, Turtle Island

1098
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 2: Sports just said that Kareem abdul Jabbar is the goat

1099
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 2: you might be might be. He also said Woods needs

1100
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 2: to invest in full time drivers with the Lakers won't

1101
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 2: pay James, the Clippers will. NBA wasn't making money at

1102
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 2: age thirty. I'm not so sure about that, my man.

1103
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 2: I'd have to fact check that. But thanks for checking

1104
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 2: in Turtle Island Sports. Good stuff. Hey, Ryan San Diego,

1105
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 2: thanks to your patience. Welcome in, No problem.

1106
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 6: Hey, I wanted to start off. I was in high

1107
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 6: school basketball coach for eighteen years. Irrelevant in this phone call,

1108
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 6: but first, w NBA.

1109
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 11: We know.

1110
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 6: I can care less. I haven't watched w in big

1111
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 6: game ever.

1112
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 2: That's enough for me. That's enough for me right there.

1113
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 2: I think it's great. You're a high school basketball coach.

1114
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 2: My son was a number two.

1115
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 10: Go Okay, watch the Lakers in years.

1116
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 6: I can't watch a boring product, and I will say

1117
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 6: I've watched most of their.

1118
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 10: I saw that what they.

1119
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,479
Speaker 6: Won nine in a row or ten in a row.

1120
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 6: I think the difference is Lebron's playing without the ball,

1121
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 6: He's getting out, he's running, and he looks like he's

1122
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 6: having fun. Had thirty last week and it would be

1123
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 6: a reach for Western Conference finals. I'll tell you this,

1124
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 6: It's better to have Lebron with Austin Reeves and Luca

1125
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 6: than just having Luca and Austin Reeves. I think that's

1126
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 6: what the Lakers are going to say, is, hey, our

1127
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 6: strength is having these three scorers on the floor.

1128
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 2: Now, well, you hold that off on Man because as

1129
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 2: a coach, he looked at things through a different prison,

1130
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 2: which I think is good. Is Lebron just making his

1131
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 2: final overture to come back next year. It's great that

1132
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 2: he's winding down. And then when eighty two games rears

1133
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 2: had said next year, if he's still with the Lakers,

1134
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 2: do you really think this reduced role will continue. I'm

1135
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 2: just having a hard time, but.

1136
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 6: I mean, this reduced role is just I don't even

1137
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 6: get it. He's playing, He's.

1138
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:17,919
Speaker 2: He's not as ball dominant Luca is. Now it's Lucas team.

1139
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know he's a basketball player.

1140
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 2: All right, listen, maybe I don't want to listen. You

1141
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 2: gave me your opinion and I accepted. Good enough for me.

1142
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 2: You haven't watched a WNB. Let's get to Tiger.

1143
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 6: Get they lost it by the way, real quick. If

1144
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 6: they lost nine in a row, he probably wouldn't be

1145
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 6: as happy. But right now he's buying in. Okay, it's

1146
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 6: Tiger fair. I had this is I had to retire

1147
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 6: at the medical retirement as a high school teacher and

1148
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 6: a basketball coach. Recently, I was hit twice with no breaks,

1149
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 6: no one in the last three and a half years,

1150
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 6: four years. I'm in paying twenty or seven a day

1151
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 6: what I were tighter. His legacy as the greatest goal

1152
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 6: go forever. I mean, I don't think that's a debate,

1153
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 6: but I think he's stealing pain physically and then too

1154
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 6: and he covers that like for me. And I hate

1155
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 6: to say, I lost my best friend, my dog from

1156
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 6: those two accidents and the times I just want to

1157
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:26,640
Speaker 6: go away. I don't want to think give me some

1158
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 6: paint pills. I just it's tough. I'm this is the

1159
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 6: darkest time in my life and I'm just trying to

1160
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 6: get through it. But I understand, uh that he's got

1161
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 6: some issues and I'm sure it's regulated.

1162
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 8: He's certain.

1163
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 6: I'm sure you know it's over his first wife or

1164
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 6: over his dad.

1165
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 14: But it was his dad.

1166
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,679
Speaker 2: That's where it started. Ryan. I appreciate your call, prayers

1167
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 2: of for you. Uh and I have observed people in

1168
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 2: your situation and tigers perhaps one of them. Don't kid

1169
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 2: behind a wheel. Okay, I'm not mentioning words on that.

1170
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 2: Don't kid behind the wheel. Jeff and Denver, welcome back

1171
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,759
Speaker 2: in how are you Bernie?

1172
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 10: I just wanted to chime in.

1173
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 2: A few things.

1174
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 11: Lebron thing, hell, no, go bye bye, done with it.

1175
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 16: You're tapping the well dry, it's done.

1176
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 2: Just get over it. Okay, continue, I think that's where

1177
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 2: it's gonna land eventually. I appreciate your candor, go ahead, continue.

1178
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 8: On the w n B A.

1179
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just think that those girls are due.

1180
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hey do to make money? Is that

1181
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 2: what you're saying.

1182
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 10: I think they will.

1183
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 2: They're going to make money because they have will eventually.

1184
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:50,959
Speaker 9: Eventually.

1185
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 2: But now we'll be the other topic. The other topic

1186
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 2: was should Lebron come back to the Lakers.

1187
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 17: No, no, no, no, no, so I covered the broad Hell.

1188
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:05,919
Speaker 2: I apologize, I haven't been drinking. Promise Tiger Woods his legacy.

1189
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, that's the one I wanted to call on.

1190
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 2: Yes, the Tiger thing, you needed to look at it

1191
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 2: like the Pete Rose thing.

1192
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 11: What he did on the course, what Pete Rose did

1193
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 11: on the field is what you need to judge him on.

1194
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:21,560
Speaker 2: The rest of it.

1195
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 8: It's just bad decisions, yes, bad decisions.

1196
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:25,719
Speaker 2: You've got to be smarter.

1197
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 15: But judge him on what he did, not what he did.

1198
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 2: Off the car or off it was eight all right.

1199
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 2: I appreciate your calling answer. Thank you. So the eighty

1200
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 2: two PGA tour wins trump everything, and that's if that's

1201
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:42,440
Speaker 2: how you feel. I'm okay with that. I want people's opinions.

1202
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Doug in San Diego, Welcome into the

1203

Speaker 11: Bernie?

1206
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 2: Well, good evening, how are you I'm good man?

1207
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,759
Speaker 8: Listen? Uh fucking Tiger.

1208
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 10: I was so just.

1209
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 8: That story. I thought, what a jerk? How many times

1210
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:07,520
Speaker 8: does he have to have a du iris addicted to painkillers?

1211
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 8: And that's what it is. But it ain't Blouze is

1212
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 8: the painkillers, and that's what killed a lot of guys.

1213
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 8: Prince Tom Petty, forget it.

1214
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 2: I think Burt Reynolds have got Burt Reynolds too, if

1215
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 2: you're really waiting, but continue on.

1216
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 8: I remember you mentioned that earlier and I wasn't aware

1217
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 8: of that, but you know, I think the guy before

1218
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 8: just made a great point, Pete Rose. You know everyone

1219
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 8: knew he's the best hitter of all time. Everybody knows

1220
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 8: that Tiger's the best golfer of all time. I would say, well,

1221
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 8: it's really going to hurt him. He won't be getting

1222
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 8: the endorsements. Maybe he got he was making more with

1223
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 8: endorsements than he was on the tour, so those might

1224
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 8: go away. And I think, you know what, people, when

1225
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 8: you're in this situation, people have a tendency to forgive,

1226
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 8: They really do. And I think they'll forgive Tiger and

1227
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 8: he'll be lauded along the way. But if he doesn't

1228
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 8: kill himself first, that is okay?

1229
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,799
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough? I mean this is complicated. Lebron

1230
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 2: Should he come back for one more year with the Lakers?

1231
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 8: Well, what's one more year?

1232
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 16: What's one more year?

1233
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 2: Well it depends what they pay him, and go ahead,

1234
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 2: what's what? Go ahead?

1235
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 8: The thing didn't work when you first got there, it

1236
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 8: is working now, even if it is the last twenty

1237
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 8: games or whatever. Okay, And I believe that he should

1238
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 8: be back for another year because it's only one more year.

1239
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 8: Why not have a tour for him? Geez, he was

1240
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 8: the best. He's the best player since Michael Jordan and

1241
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 8: an album, records and stuff. I think it's to the guy.

1242
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 10: I don't know. I know some people.

1243
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 2: Answer to your questions even though they appear rhetorical, and

1244
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 2: I understand that is the Lakers want to win championships,

1245
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 2: and if they don't, I don't know what they're in

1246
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 2: this business for. Not every owner does, but that the

1247
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:57,799
Speaker 2: Lakers are defined by their championships. But I accept your premise. Okay,

1248
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,640
Speaker 2: If that's how you feel, then I appreciate that's. I

1249
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 2: appreciate you know that your thoughts.

1250
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 8: Well, they could win a championship.

1251
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 2: I can't see. I can't see them getting past uh.

1252
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 2: I certainly can't see him getting past San Antonio or

1253
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,040
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. But let's see what happens. Okay.

1254
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 15: I don't want to strangers.

1255
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 2: I can't name any right now, but you may be right,

1256
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 2: all right, real quickly. Will the w NBA make any

1257
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 2: money this year?

1258
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 8: I say yes, I think.

1259
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 2: We got a quote for the w n B. A

1260
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:34,759

1277
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 2: you tonight this morning?

1278
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 11: I should say yes, sir, good, I'm gonna go get

1279
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 11: cut to the Chase Tiger. You know a lot of

1280
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 11: people my brethren from Louisiana. Solomon solo thunder, and I

1281
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 11: think you have to separate the two between professional personal

1282
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 11: Tiger is one of the best golfers that I've ever seen.

1283
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 11: I started playing golf when I was eleven years old.

1284
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 2: I get all that, but we've got to get to

1285
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:46,520
Speaker 2: his legacy, my friend.

1286
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 11: I get all that right, and I think, I think,

1287
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 11: I think the fact is is that you have to

1288
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 11: do separate the two because he is. You can't deny

1289
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 11: what he's done as a professional golfer. Personally, the worst

1290
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 11: thing you ever happened to him was when his father passed.

1291
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 11: As he said, a thousand no guidance whatsoever. Now as

1292
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 11: a profession would I do for a living with the

1293
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 11: amount of surgeries that he's had. I am absolutely probably

1294
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,440
Speaker 11: no doubt that he's addicted to painkillers.

1295
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 2: Don't get behind the wheel. See, I gotta stick with

1296
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 2: his legacy. I wish you'd call earlier. I gotta. I

1297
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 2: gotta give you any other caller plenty of times. That's

1298
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 2: why I'm just trying to standpoint. What do if you

1299
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:23,559
Speaker 2: go ahead?

1300
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 11: Well, you know it's hard to say because you know

1301
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,719
Speaker 11: people when they look at him, they say Tiger Wood's

1302
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 11: the person, and you know they look at what he's

1303
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 11: done personally with his you know, his indiscretions and and

1304
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:37,959
Speaker 11: and what he's done as far as the driving incidents

1305
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 11: and everything like that, And I think one can.

1306
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 2: You can hold two thoughts concurrently. Basically, I absolutely can.

1307
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:49,759
Speaker 11: I tell me at Lebron, as far as Lebron Lebron,

1308
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 11: if I may say this, I'm going to be very blunt.

1309
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 11: Lebron's like a ham Roy. He's a pain and you know,

1310
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 11: mob Watt and as far as I'm concerned, he could

1311
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 11: just go away. When you have to look up the

1312
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 11: definition of a narcissist, you're going to see Lebron's face. So,

1313
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 11: you know, I think it's got to a point where

1314
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,719
Speaker 11: he's just he's not a factor in NBA anymore. He's

1315
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 11: trying to make himself relevant, but he doesn't. I don't

1316
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 11: follow the Lakers. I don't follow any LA teams. Particularly

1317
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 11: after the Saints no call against LA, I won't follow

1318
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 11: any LA team.

1319
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 10: So I could care less whatever the Lakers.

1320
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 11: Do this year Women's You know, I don't follow them

1321
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 11: really that much. I think they had a chance to

1322
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 11: do it with Caitlin Clark, but you know, they just

1323
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 11: too many other things got in the way, and that's

1324
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 11: unfortunate because I think that she was an asset and

1325
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 11: it's too bad because it was very entertaining. But I

1326
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,719
Speaker 11: think that now it's so I really can't say whether

1327
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:46,640
Speaker 11: they'll make money or not.

1328
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,839
Speaker 2: Hey, strong call, I appreciate your thoughts. Don't be a stranger.

1329
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 2: We do this all the time. Thank you for taking

1330
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 2: the time to call in good stuff. Man, Well bring

1331
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 2: us home.

1332
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 12: Tonight, my man, just own and celebray.

1333
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 18: I'm going to wait till the midnight out, but not

1334
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 18: to summon the DJ from Crypto or Staples or whatever

1335
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 18: the hell they're calling it to say to play.

1336
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 12: The same song that when guys foul out, hit the road,

1337
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 12: Jack and don't you come back no more. I'm done

1338
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 12: with this whole branger son to work thing. For the

1339
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:34,639
Speaker 12: last few years, Lebron has overstayed his welcome. Yes he's

1340
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 12: top five all time. Yes he brought up the championship. No,

1341
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 12: this Lakers team will not win a championship with the

1342
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 12: fat euro and with the Lebron as the primary pieces.

1343
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I'm going to take that as a no,

1344
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 2: we shouldn't come back. I were in Lockstown Tiger Woods.

1345
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 2: What did it do to his legacy?

1346
01:17:58,680 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 14: Oh?

1347
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 12: Man, well, he's leggings intact. However, Billy Joel thinks this

1348
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 12: guy needs the driver. I mean, come on, Tiger, would

1349
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 12: he almost nosedives off of the PV cliffs. I used

1350
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:16,640
Speaker 12: to do a lot of deliveries over there. I know exactly,

1351
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 12: you know that area of the treacherous road. I don't

1352
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 12: know about this one. I do know one thing. The

1353
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,720
Speaker 12: guy was banging Perkins waitresses two at a time. Customers

1354
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 12: couldn't even get their waffles burning. So, uh, I don't know, man,

1355
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 12: you know I think, uh.

1356
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I hear you, pal. Will the WNBA make

1357
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:38,800
Speaker 2: money this year?

1358
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,600
Speaker 12: Manuel, there's the potential to finally get out of the

1359
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 12: red if they don't continue to strangle.

1360
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:46,679
Speaker 10: The Golden goose.

1361
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 12: Put Caitlin on a pedesel, you do whatever you gotta do.

1362
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 12: Do the old Clippers marketing deal where you just market

1363
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 12: uh whatever games that Caitlyn's, you put them on the

1364
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 12: TV like the old Jordan rules. If not, this thing

1365
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 12: is going to continue to wallow and make no money

1366
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 12: because such face hit. It's just not that interesting man

1367
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 12: other than Kavid.

1368
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't find an interesting man. Well, appreciate you man.

1369
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 2: You be well and enjoy your weekend. Thanks to all

1370
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:29,600
Speaker 2: the callers. Really had some strong, interesting opinions tonight, some

1371
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,679
Speaker 2: interesting angles. I think, some objective thoughts, and I think

1372
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 2: people's sensitivities were on display tonight. They're trying to maintain.

1373
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,759
Speaker 2: In fact, we're dealing with human being here Tiger Woods.

1374
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 2: Albeit this is a hugely embarrassing situation because it's his

1375
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 2: fourth one now and it does do reputational damage to him. However,

1376
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 2: people do recognize his iconic contributions to golf over the

1377
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 2: last three years. Lebron, we kind of know where we

1378
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 2: stand on that. Let's just let this, let it play

1379
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 2: out at the future, take care of itself. And as

1380
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 2: far as the NBA, that was the most apathetic topic,

1381
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 2: and I knew it would be. Most people don't watch

1382
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:11,640
Speaker 2: it and they don't know if it'll make money or not.

1383
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,719
Speaker 2: Let's just see it, don't tell me, show me great

1384
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 2: midnight hour, buddy, Thanks so much, Keep it locked. Listen,

1385
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 2: that's right, you heard the man. Bernie Fratles show keeps

1386
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 2: rolling right along. My name is Bernie Fradderick Coby Lyn

1387
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 2: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Take it to three

1388
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:32,720
Speaker 2: m Pacific, six am Eastern. Much thanks again to all

1389
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 2: the great midnight hour callers, a lot of stuff for

1390
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 2: the NBA. So let's get to it's that time, all right.

1391
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 2: It's welcome in Mark, Medina. Mark the elephant in the

1392
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 2: room won't go away. Because the Lakers won nine games

1393
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 2: in a row. Is there really a possibility that Lebron

1394
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:54,639
Speaker 2: could return to the Lakers next year.

1395
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:57,640
Speaker 17: It's very well possible. I mean, if they're on a

1396
01:20:57,760 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 17: roll here, maybe he wants to say, even if it's

1397
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 17: a relative discount, I will say that that certainly helps

1398
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 17: the cause. But I don't think my prediction changes that

1399
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 17: he plays another year, goes to Cleveland so he can

1400
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 17: return back to his hometown and probably get more money

1401
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 17: and have a shot at winning championship.

1402
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he comes back either. But on

1403
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,799
Speaker 2: a scale of one to ten, how much does Lebron

1404
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 2: want to come back to Los Angeles?

1405
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 17: I don't think he's really thought about it. He's really

1406
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:30,640
Speaker 17: thought about this until the season's ending, because there's just

1407
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 17: so many moving parts. He's someone that very much thinks

1408
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 17: long term, but he also thinks in the present here.

1409
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 17: So I think as we're talking about this, Like he

1410
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:43,839
Speaker 17: knows there's so much fluidity with everything, how his body feels,

1411
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 17: how the team's performing, what their commitment is to him

1412
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 17: as far as the contract goes. It's like, you know what,

1413
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:53,679
Speaker 17: like it's better not it's better use not thinking about

1414
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 17: all those things until the season ends. But I think,

1415
01:21:56,360 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 17: you know what, how we've been discussing this, Bernie. Even

1416
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 17: though the Lakers' identity and their fortunes have changed dramatically

1417
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 17: with their strong play, I don't think many of the

1418
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 17: variables have significantly changed that he would have to take

1419
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 17: a significant pay cut. The priority want to be about him,

1420
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 17: it would be about Luca. And even though on the

1421
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 17: court he's bought in, it's much different with the roster

1422
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 17: vision around him.

1423
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,640
Speaker 2: All Right, So that leads to one last question about this.

1424
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 2: If causation is correlation, If the Lakers get knocked out

1425
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 2: in the first round, or don't advance past the second round,

1426
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 2: or perhaps get to the conference finals, do any of

1427
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 2: those correlate to whether or not Lebron would be back

1428
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 2: or not.

1429
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,600
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's a factor, but I think the bigger factors

1430
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:48,280
Speaker 17: are going to be how his body feeling and what

1431
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 17: contracts he's going to be able to get from the

1432
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 17: Lakers and anywhere else and then that's it. I mean,

1433
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 17: I think clearly, if they're on a winning track, Peck

1434
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 17: could only help. But I don't think that's the main

1435
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:04,839
Speaker 17: variable here, you know, given where he's at his career.

1436
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 17: You know, I guess you add in the you know,

1437
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 17: in all seriess the brawny element that you know, he

1438
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 17: can stay home with family and all that, But I

1439
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 17: think the bigger things are just the ability to win

1440
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 17: a championship with much higher clarity. And even though the

1441
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 17: Lakers have entered that conversation, and I think the Tavis

1442
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 17: would you know, have a championship caliber roster with Lebron

1443
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,679
Speaker 17: as a bigger role, and that there is a stronger

1444
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 17: chance that they would be willing to pay him. But

1445
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:40,480
Speaker 17: look like it's kind of pointless to have this conversation

1446
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 17: in March because this is the conversation in July.

1447
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 2: Well, if it's pointless, please feel free to share that

1448
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 2: with your media members who continue to report this. I

1449
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 2: saw a article the other day to say the Lakers

1450
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 2: would love to have Lebron back, So let's just leave

1451
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 2: it there for now. Question for you, what is going

1452
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 2: on with Giannis and the box is like a civil war.

1453
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:07,599
Speaker 17: Yeah. Look, the Bucks have been eliminated from a postseason contention,

1454
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 17: So you know, what's the point in bringing Giannis back.

1455
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 17: Gianness has made it clear he wants to come back

1456
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 17: because he's a competitor. The players Union even release a

1457
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,559
Speaker 17: statement as we calling out the books and saying, like

1458
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:23,879
Speaker 17: to the NBA, hey for all your rhetoric about tanking,

1459
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:28,719
Speaker 17: like check in on the Bucks here. So I think

1460
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 17: ultimately the reality is the Bucks have listed Giannis on

1461
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 17: the injury report. It's a real injury. It's not fake, right,

1462
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 17: it's not manufactured. He had a calf injury and those

1463
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 17: calf injuries are pretty serious. So I think ultimately the

1464
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 17: Bucks are going to be able to to skirt any

1465
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 17: sort of penalties from the NBA. But you know what

1466
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 17: this means with Giannis and how he feels about the organization, Yes,

1467
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 17: it doesn't help it. It just seems like this is

1468
01:24:57,080 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 17: the next step toward the divorce here where you know

1469
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 17: he is he's dissatisfied with the direction. But here's the

1470
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 17: thing burning even when he's been upset, he just hasn't

1471
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 17: had it in him to tell the Bucks directly. I

1472
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 17: want to be traded, and the Bucks aren't going to

1473
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 17: be comfortable trading him unless they hear that ultimatum. So

1474
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 17: it's an ultimate cat and mouse game here. But you know,

1475
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 17: these latest developments show that their relationship isn't in the

1476
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 17: best spot.

1477
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 2: All right. So here's the part that's missing from this narrative.

1478
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,719
Speaker 2: He said it's a real injury, But the NBPA issued

1479
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 2: a statement supporting you on us. They're saying he's healthy

1480
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 2: enough to play, and they're accusing the Bucks of tanking

1481
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 2: by keeping on the bench. Who's telling the truth?

1482
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:48,839
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean I understand the NBA's position with calling

1483
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 17: out the hypocrisy because you know, the Utah Jazz and

1484
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:57,440
Speaker 17: the Indiana Pacers got fine when they sat you know, players,

1485
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 17: and you know the NBA didn't take kindly on that.

1486
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 17: But yeah, Jiannest's injury is real. So even though the

1487
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 17: Bucks have their own shortcomings when it comes to this, yeah,

1488
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 17: I believe them.

1489
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 2: Talk about this Project B League that is starting to

1490
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 2: make the rounds, is there a reality there?

1491
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:21,839
Speaker 17: It's very fluid, you know. I know that that's something

1492
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:25,799
Speaker 17: that was a something I was scheduled to be launched

1493
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 17: in November of this year. You know, as a women's

1494
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 17: basketball league, but it's also going to be talked about

1495
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 17: for the men's too, And you know, it was this

1496
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 17: idea that they would be able to have, you know,

1497
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 17: European players play in this league kind of as an

1498
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:46,679
Speaker 17: alternative to euro League. You know, it's a very fluid thing.

1499
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 17: So there's a lot of serious conversations about it. But

1500
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 17: where it's going to be headed, how it's going to

1501
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 17: be launched, I think all those things are up in

1502
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 17: the air.

1503
01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 2: Well, to what degree is Lebron and Maverick Carter involved

1504
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 2: in this, because I understand they want to roll this out.

1505
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 2: It'd be like a version of the NBA in Europe

1506
01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 2: and Asian Latin America. I mean again, is it is

1507
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 2: this just a pipe dream or could we really see

1508
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 2: this happen.

1509
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 17: I don't think it's pipe dream, but it's very early

1510
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 17: in the process. And I think that you know, when

1511
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 17: you're asking about Lebron's involvement here, I mean, he's made

1512
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 17: it clear that his you know, his hopes of being

1513
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:27,599
Speaker 17: an NBA owner aren't there anymore. And you know, I'm

1514
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 17: sure the first question to have is why it's because

1515
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 17: he's still playing and you have to be several years

1516
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 17: removed from playing in the NBA before suddenly being an

1517
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 17: owner to remove conflict of interest. So I think that's

1518
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,640
Speaker 17: kind of the conversation here that you know, Lebron is

1519
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 17: filling one business bucket to replace a different business bucket

1520
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 17: that didn't go anywhere at least for the time being.

1521
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 17: But all this stuff big picture, it's still very very fluid.

1522
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 2: All right. So this news caused me to think about

1523
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 2: a conversation we had before the season started. It turns

1524
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 2: out that the NBA salary cap for next season is

1525
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:12,599
Speaker 2: projected to be one million lower than previously anticipated, and

1526
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:17,599
Speaker 2: their rationale was it, there's a decline in local media revenue.

1527
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:18,479
Speaker 2: Can you speak to that?

1528
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 17: Yeah, Well, look, even though they got a huge media

1529
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 17: rights deal with adding NBC and Amazon Prime and conjunction

1530
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 17: with ESPN, ABC eleven years seventy seven billion dollars, the

1531
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 17: local TV channels have really struggled because just in this

1532
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 17: age of cord cutting, that's what's happened. And also a

1533
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 17: lot of the teams that aren't good in the NBA

1534
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 17: or in small markets outside of Oklahoma City and San Antonio,

1535
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 17: they struggle to really find a devoted audience here. So

1536
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,719
Speaker 17: I think when you're looking at the totality here, it

1537
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:56,639
Speaker 17: isn't a lot of money. I mean, it's a lot

1538
01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:58,840
Speaker 17: of money to us. It's not a lot of money

1539
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:02,600
Speaker 17: the NBA and the players one million lesson projected. But

1540
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 17: I can't help but think, is this a very small

1541
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 17: warning sign of things to pay attention to, you know,

1542
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 17: for the next media rights steal in eleven years And

1543
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 17: you might think, well, that's eleven years from now, But

1544
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:21,679
Speaker 17: as soon as the league signs a new media right steal,

1545
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 17: they're thinking about the next steal, and so you know,

1546
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:29,519
Speaker 17: this could be Again it's a lot of time here

1547
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 17: and they're going to the league is in good financial

1548
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:35,200
Speaker 17: shape here, But I think it's an early signal that

1549
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:38,600
Speaker 17: you know, this media landscape is very turbulent and it

1550
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 17: might not be the same kind of package that the

1551
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 17: NBA's command and this current deal as it will in

1552
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 17: the future in eleven years.

1553
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:47,799
Speaker 2: Well, it may only be one million dollars, I understand

1554
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 2: on a percentage basis, that's really you know, the deck

1555
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 2: chere off the Queen Mary of that. However, it went

1556
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 2: down that there's no way you can anybody can spend

1557
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,639
Speaker 2: that as anything, but a serious negative is the NFL

1558
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 2: salary cap went up about nine percent this year. Baseball

1559
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 2: is healthy as it's ever been. Even the NHL, none

1560
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 2: of their salary caps, of course, baseball doesn't have a

1561
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:12,240
Speaker 2: salary cap are going down. So I think when you

1562
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:15,600
Speaker 2: juxtapose the same cord cutting scenario that all of the

1563
01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 2: sports are involved in, now, why would the NBS go down?

1564
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:22,320
Speaker 2: I guess it's something we have to continue to watch.

1565
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's all I was saying. I mean, right now,

1566
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:26,960
Speaker 17: it's not a big deal, but it's a warning sign.

1567
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:29,479
Speaker 17: I don't want to say it's the Titanic that hit

1568
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 17: the iceberg and you know, all's well, but in four

1569
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 17: hours it's going to sink. Like I think that's drastic.

1570
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:38,680
Speaker 17: But yeah, it is something to pay attention to and

1571
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 17: something that the league should take seriously.

1572
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 2: Last thing, I don't have a vote, but I would

1573
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:48,640
Speaker 2: certainly vote for Victor webbin Yama as the MVP. I

1574
01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 2: think he's officially pasted SGA for the number one spot.

1575
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:53,600
Speaker 2: Just my opinion, your thoughts.

1576
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:55,639
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean this is going to be a really

1577
01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:59,679
Speaker 17: tough MVP discussion here, and Victor Weabyama has this case

1578
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:03,160
Speaker 17: because the Spurs won the head to head matchup against

1579
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:06,599
Speaker 17: the Thunder. Victor Wamani almost the best defensive player in

1580
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:10,639
Speaker 17: the league. He also has a great skill set as

1581
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:15,639
Speaker 17: a scorer and passer. I still give the relative edge

1582
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:18,799
Speaker 17: to Shay for a few reasons. You know, the Thunder

1583
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:20,600
Speaker 17: have a better record. I know they lost head to

1584
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 17: head to San Antonio, but they know the better record.

1585
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:26,120
Speaker 17: The other thing is Shae has led the league in

1586
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 17: scoring through different chapters through the season. He's played with

1587
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:34,280
Speaker 17: a lot of injuries with his supporting cast mossuitably to

1588
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 17: Jaylen Williams, yet his play hasn't dropped, so I do

1589
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:39,719
Speaker 17: have to give him credit there.

1590
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:40,559
Speaker 8: I think.

1591
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 17: The other thing is that, you know, Victor wa Minyama,

1592
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,720
Speaker 17: he hasn't had the highest usage rate here as far

1593
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:50,000
Speaker 17: as minutes ago, so some of his production isn't as

1594
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:53,560
Speaker 17: high as it could be. But look, there's gonna be

1595
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 17: a really tough MVP discussion because both those players have

1596
01:31:57,200 --> 01:32:02,000
Speaker 17: a case. So does Nicole Jokic being averaging walking triple double.

1597
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:06,120
Speaker 17: So this is Luka Doncic. You know he is a

1598
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 17: scoring machine. He's been the best scorer in March. He's

1599
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 17: not going to win an all of a Defensive Team Award,

1600
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 17: but he has improved in defense, especially with his steels.

1601
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:19,840
Speaker 17: And the Lakers they're on a roll here, like they've

1602
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:22,920
Speaker 17: entered the group chat. As far as championship contenders, I'm

1603
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:24,840
Speaker 17: not going to say that they're going to win a championship.

1604
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:27,680
Speaker 17: I'm not saying they're going to get to the West Finals.

1605
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 17: I still favor OKC and San Antonio. But the Lakers

1606
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 17: aren't that punching bag that you and I have made

1607
01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 17: them out to be as they were earlier in the season.

1608
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 17: It's not just Luca. Lebron's elevated his game. He's been

1609
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,439
Speaker 17: willing to change his role. Austin Reeves is back and healthy,

1610
01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:47,720
Speaker 17: their supporting cast is finally being consistent. Well, Luca has

1611
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,519
Speaker 17: a huge part of that. So you know, all four

1612
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,640
Speaker 17: of those players are deserving and that's really going to

1613
01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 17: be tough to make choices, But I try to make

1614
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:58,200
Speaker 17: a choice right now. It's still a slight ag chochet,

1615
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:01,200
Speaker 17: but there's still a few wet from the regular season

1616
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:02,840
Speaker 17: that this will still be up in the air.

1617
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 2: My votes for Wemby it's real simple. Yeah, Oklahoma City

1618
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 2: has a better record by one game today last year

1619
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:14,439
Speaker 2: the Spurs won thirty four games. There were fourteen games

1620
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 2: under five hundred and thirteen to the Western Conference. This

1621
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 2: year they're going to win sixty. So I'm sticking Wimby

1622
01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:23,440
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you what they're really alive in the postseason.

1623
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:26,559
Speaker 2: I know everybody wants to keep force feeding me that

1624
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 2: the Lakers are better than we realize. Let's just see

1625
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:31,080
Speaker 2: what happens and that'll do it.

1626
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 17: Mark Bertie, I love it. Just let's just see what happens.

1627
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:41,799
Speaker 17: Where's the mea callpo about saying the Lakers were toad?

1628
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:43,400
Speaker 17: So now they come back to life here?

1629
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:46,719
Speaker 2: What me a couple? They haven't got to the playoffs yet.

1630
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 17: Okay, that's fair. I mean that's true. But they've been

1631
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:52,799
Speaker 17: playing a lot better and we didn't see this coming.

1632
01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 2: Is that a question or I mean, I know you

1633
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:01,600
Speaker 2: want to force feed me that, and I continue to

1634
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 2: stand by what I stand by, and if the Lakers

1635
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:09,600
Speaker 2: advance past the second round, I will report it objectively.

1636
01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:12,280
Speaker 17: Okay, fair enough. Look, I don't know if they'll get

1637
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:14,680
Speaker 17: past the second round here, but I think what the

1638
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:18,439
Speaker 17: Lakers have shown that if they do get eliminated in

1639
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:21,680
Speaker 17: the second round, there's no way they lose in the

1640
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:24,479
Speaker 17: first round, so they get eliminated in the second round.

1641
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,240
Speaker 17: I think there's a case to be made that it's

1642
01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:29,599
Speaker 17: going to be in a lot more respectable fashion as

1643
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:32,599
Speaker 17: far as how competitive the series is, and that it's

1644
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 17: not just empty calories of Luca Gay numbers and to

1645
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:39,639
Speaker 17: a lesser extent, Austin Reeves and Lebron game numbers. It's

1646
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 17: going to be a good competitive series. To your point,

1647
01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:45,640
Speaker 17: I would still give you know, the favored advantage to

1648
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:49,000
Speaker 17: Denver to Okay, see the San Antonio if any of

1649
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:52,559
Speaker 17: those teams are the opponents. But I do think that

1650
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:56,679
Speaker 17: their identity has shifted in the last month in terms

1651
01:34:56,680 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 17: of how all three players are playing. You know, their

1652
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:05,439
Speaker 17: sharp players Lebron, Reeves and Luca and DeAndre Aid like

1653
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:09,520
Speaker 17: suddenly becoming a player that lives up to his potential

1654
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:11,920
Speaker 17: and all the role players being much more consistent.

1655
01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would remind you the Lakers had an eight

1656
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:16,599
Speaker 2: game winning streak last year. How'd that work out? And

1657
01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 2: the Bucks had an eight or nine game winning streak

1658
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:22,200
Speaker 2: last year. Towards the end, same rhetoric, who do you

1659
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:23,680
Speaker 2: p so you say there's no way to lose in

1660
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 2: the first round. Who are they going to play in

1661
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:26,160
Speaker 2: the first round.

1662
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:29,479
Speaker 17: Well, right now, they're projected to play the Houston Rockets,

1663
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:32,760
Speaker 17: and they're a hot mess right now, so that would

1664
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:35,479
Speaker 17: be a breeze. The Minnesota Timberwolves could drop the six

1665
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:38,439
Speaker 17: right now, they have half a game back or half

1666
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 17: a game edge over Houston. Anthony edwards'sucal to come back soon,

1667
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:45,080
Speaker 17: so I expect that Minnesota would still have the edge.

1668
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,600
Speaker 17: But you know, I think it's the Lakers play Minnesota.

1669
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:50,559
Speaker 17: I know Ant gets up for big games, and they

1670
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:53,760
Speaker 17: had their number last year and the playoffs, but I

1671
01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:57,320
Speaker 17: think the Lakers they're on a different level here. But again,

1672
01:35:57,520 --> 01:35:59,519
Speaker 17: if they were to beat Denver in the first round,

1673
01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:03,599
Speaker 17: which right now mathematically is unlikely, I think the Nuggets

1674
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:06,720
Speaker 17: would prevail because they've just had their number ever since

1675
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 17: winning the championship. But again, the Lakers are a different team.

1676
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 17: The one thing I will validate that is that there

1677
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:18,639
Speaker 17: are fair concerns about all the usage rate that their

1678
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:21,040
Speaker 17: top players have had. They've been playing a lot of minutes.

1679
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 17: Even though they've had some games where you know they're

1680
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:27,599
Speaker 17: all tanking teams, the pacers, the nets, they didn't really

1681
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:30,160
Speaker 17: rest those guys in the fourth quarter because they weren't

1682
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:33,559
Speaker 17: breezy wins. Maybe some of that catches up to them. Obviously,

1683
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:36,559
Speaker 17: we can't roll out anything with Lebron given where he's

1684
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:39,040
Speaker 17: at his career, twenty third season, forty one years old

1685
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:42,519
Speaker 17: by the time, as a way of, you know, saying

1686
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:46,599
Speaker 17: hello again at the worst possible time. But as they're

1687
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:48,760
Speaker 17: playing as a union, I think that they truly have

1688
01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:49,599
Speaker 17: turned a corner.

1689
01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:52,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. I really look forward to seeing that lockdown defense

1690
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:53,799
Speaker 2: in mid April.

1691
01:36:56,160 --> 01:36:59,960
Speaker 17: All right, Defensive Player of the Year a few years ago.

1692
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:03,000
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I won the spelling bat Levite Middle school

1693

Speaker 2: back in in seventh grade. All Right, we'll see what

1694
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 2: the We'll see what the new cycle brings us next week.

1695
01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:15,720
Speaker 17: Okay, no, Bronni Lebron first father son to throw an

1696

Speaker 17: assist to each other in NBA history talks.

1697
01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 2: No, I think you just did it. I think you

1698
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 2: just did it.

1699
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:22,679
Speaker 17: Okay, all right, there it.

1700
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:28,479
Speaker 2: Is coming up. Are the Is some NFL team about

1701
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 2: to draft a quarterback in the first round with less

1702
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 2: than fifteen starts or actually has fifteen starts. Let me

1703
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 2: give you the history of that. It may not be

1704

1711
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:10,599
Speaker 2: Coming up just a few minutes, Brandon with his Fantasy Files,

1712
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:13,719
Speaker 2: which is gonna get increasingly more interesting when you consider

1713
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 2: the free agent signings and the NFL Draft coming up.

1714
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:22,920
Speaker 2: And I gotta tell you, I got nothing against Ty Simpson.

1715
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:27,519
Speaker 2: I think he's got NFL arn talent. I think that

1716
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 2: he has does a lot of stuff that's gonna be

1717
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:34,439
Speaker 2: transferable to the NFL. Whether he has success on that level,

1718
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:36,640
Speaker 2: we don't know. But drafting them first round is going

1719
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:38,800
Speaker 2: to be a risk, and I'm gonna tell you why.

1720
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 2: And he's probably gonna be drafted as a first rounder.

1721
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 2: But I have people I talk to that are NFL people,

1722
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,400
Speaker 2: and they mostly haven't graded as a second rounder, and

1723
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:49,840
Speaker 2: somehow them great as a third. That doesn't mean he

1724
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 2: can't have success in the league. Hey, look at Jackson

1725
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 2: Smith and Jigbuk. Guy's drafted in the fifth round. Earned

1726
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 2: every penny very happy for that guy. What a job

1727
01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 2: he's done. Made the most of his propertunity. Fifth round.

1728
01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm a look at you, shood Or Sanders.

1729
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:06,120
Speaker 2: Stop talking and start doing more playing, because I will

1730
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 2: give you your props as well. Bith Parcells had a fame

1731
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 2: formula for drafting NFL quarterbacks. He called it the thirty

1732
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:18,280
Speaker 2: twenty three sixty rule. He wanted his quarterbacks to start

1733
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 2: at least thirty games that demonstrated durability and consistency and

1734
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:26,639
Speaker 2: on field performance. He wanted him to win at least

1735
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:30,080
Speaker 2: twenty three games that would measure the ability to win

1736
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:33,920
Speaker 2: and lead a team. He wanted his quarterbacks to complete

1737
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:37,439
Speaker 2: sixty percent of their passes that would establish a baseline

1738
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 2: for accuracy, and he wanted a two to one touchdown

1739
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:48,040
Speaker 2: the interception rate. Those were parcels criterias the thirty twenty

1740
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:52,559
Speaker 2: three sixty rule. Well, the one quarterback that does not

1741
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:57,639
Speaker 2: meet that criteria is Ty Simpson. As a matter of fact,

1742
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:01,200
Speaker 2: now let me start out by giving this guys his flowers.

1743
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:06,439
Speaker 2: There's only been one quarterback who started less than fifteen

1744
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 2: games in the NFL she got through Super Bowl, and

1745
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 2: that would be Cam Newton. He started fourteen games at Auburn.

1746
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 2: You know what he did, stepped down to the NFL

1747
01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 2: field immediately had success. But that's a complete outlier. Since

1748
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:24,800
Speaker 2: the two thousand and eight draft, at least nine quarterbacks

1749
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:27,880
Speaker 2: had been selected in the first round after starting fewer

1750
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:34,160
Speaker 2: than twenty games in college. Now, these talent evaluators who

1751
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 2: selected them to take, you know, agreed it was a

1752
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 2: good idea to take that kind of risk. I think

1753
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 2: ultimately history of will show they had abysmal had an

1754
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:50,720
Speaker 2: abysmal success rate. Cam Newton's the only major starter to

1755
01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 2: emerge from that category. Akille Smith out of work. Remember

1756
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:56,920
Speaker 2: what a big deal they made out of him? Drafted

1757
01:40:56,960 --> 01:41:01,120
Speaker 2: third overall in nineteen ninety nine, started eleven games. Anthony

1758
01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 2: Richardson only started thirteen games. Dwayne Haskins only started fourteen games.

1759
01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray and I don't care what anybody says. The

1760
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:12,679
Speaker 2: jury is very much out on Kyler Murray started fourteen games.

1761
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 2: People talk about well, Trey Lance never really had a

1762
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:18,080
Speaker 2: chance to develop. I saw his highlight tape in North

1763
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:20,840
Speaker 2: Dakota State. They showed the same three plays over and

1764
01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:22,719
Speaker 2: over in two of them a running plays. He actually

1765
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:27,040
Speaker 2: started seventeen games. Many of these players, they fall into

1766
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:29,639
Speaker 2: what's called the one year starter trend because the only

1767
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:31,760
Speaker 2: we're able to win the starting job for one year,

1768
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 2: one full season. That's just a fact. So you are

1769
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:40,000
Speaker 2: making you are taking a major risk good at work.

1770
01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 2: I would say, I don't know. It's a high risk,

1771
01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:46,679
Speaker 2: low reward gamble. If you look at all the data

1772
01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:50,040
Speaker 2: from the last fifteen years, it clearly shows prospects with

1773
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:54,439
Speaker 2: its profile of starting less than fifteen games almost never

1774
01:41:55,320 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 2: never become associated with long term success or become undisputed

1775
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:04,400
Speaker 2: starters that the whole world can see, with the exception

1776
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 2: of Cam Newton. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

1777
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:14,320
Speaker 2: I get it. You look for traits. Teams prioritize arm

1778
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:18,880
Speaker 2: strength and rushing ability, and that correlates with NFL selection

1779
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 2: even if the passing experience is lacking. Okay, if a

1780
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 2: team drafts an inexperienced quarterback, the best plan is to

1781
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:28,600
Speaker 2: maybe sit them for a year to allow them to

1782
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:31,559
Speaker 2: learn the speed of the NFL without the pressure of starting.

1783
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the issues. JJ McCarthy said, I

1784
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:36,920
Speaker 2: don't want to go on with his litany and do

1785
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,559
Speaker 2: a roll call. You get my point. All of a sudden,

1786
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:43,960
Speaker 2: Ty Simpson's emerged from nowhere. Sorry, I like Fernando Mendoza

1787
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:47,720
Speaker 2: a lot better. He started thirty five games, he did

1788
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:52,880
Speaker 2: great against great competition, and when it became, you know,

1789
01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:55,640
Speaker 2: when the situation demanded greatness, he was great. And oh,

1790
01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:59,439
Speaker 2: by the way, his ball placement and his accuracy, forget

1791
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 2: it off the charts. We'll leave it there, all right,

1792
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:06,479
Speaker 2: Let's welcome in our fast growing segment as football is

1793
01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 2: a twenty four to seventh subject, Brandon Deutsch and his

1794
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 2: Fantasy Files.

1795
01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:18,719
Speaker 7: Fantasy Files with Brandon Deutsch your go to fantasy football segment.

1796
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:19,439
Speaker 16: You got one?

1797
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:22,520
Speaker 5: God, When what is up everybody?

1798
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:24,759
Speaker 19: I'm Brandon Deutsch is his Fantasy Files on the Bernie

1799
01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:28,200
Speaker 19: Fratto Show. And speaking of what Bernie was just talking

1800
01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:32,639
Speaker 19: about with Brananda Mendoza, there are still concerns about Mendoza

1801
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:36,640
Speaker 19: despite being really the only quarterback in weird possibly the

1802
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:41,280
Speaker 19: only quarterback draft in history, in class that has one

1803
01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:44,840
Speaker 19: guy who really fits those metrics. But there are some

1804
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:47,320
Speaker 19: things I am concerned about. Mendoza only threw for over

1805
01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:50,640
Speaker 19: three hundred yards twice the entire season, and the success

1806
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:53,360
Speaker 19: rate of quarterbacks that do so at the NFL level

1807
01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:56,519
Speaker 19: that haven't had like a ton of big games, and

1808
01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 19: I know we played in the Big Ten. He played

1809
01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 19: a lot of tough, tough defenses, and he did step

1810
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:03,479
Speaker 19: up in big moments. There is a lot going wrong

1811
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 19: in his outlook as well, in terms of just historical facts,

1812
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 19: not just Ty Simpson, both of those guys. But it's

1813
01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:13,840
Speaker 19: unquestionable that Fernando Mendoz is going to be the number

1814
01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:16,559
Speaker 19: one pick. I don't think the Raiders should take him

1815
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:19,479
Speaker 19: number one, and that's an unpopular opinion, but they will,

1816
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:21,840
Speaker 19: so there's no point in us having a conversation about it.

1817
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:24,320
Speaker 19: I always say build the rest of the team before

1818
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:26,240
Speaker 19: taking the quarterback. I still think they have a ton

1819
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:28,840
Speaker 19: of offensive line issues and this is going to be

1820
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 19: a way better quarterback draft next year, There's no question

1821
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 19: about it. And if I were them, I would see

1822
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:36,800
Speaker 19: if the Jets would give them their twenty twenty seven

1823
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:39,920
Speaker 19: first to move up one spot and their second overall pick,

1824
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:42,120
Speaker 19: and that's what I would do first.

1825
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:43,680
Speaker 5: Those are just my thoughts on him. But I do

1826
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:44,400
Speaker 5: like Mendoza.

1827
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:47,479
Speaker 19: I don't think he's a good fantasy player next season.

1828
01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 19: If he does indeed start most of the season, for

1829
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 19: the Raiders, he'll throw twenty interceptions or close to it.

1830
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:53,680
Speaker 5: That's just how it's going to be.

1831
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:55,400
Speaker 19: Now, maybe he's good in two years, but you're also

1832
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:59,640
Speaker 19: entering arguably the toughest division in football when you have

1833
01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 19: a Hall Fame quarterback and Patrick Mahomes justin Herbert, and

1834
01:45:03,400 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 19: of course the Chargers, who are going to be well coached,

1835
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 19: and if they get their two tackles back, which it's

1836
01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:09,519
Speaker 19: looking like they will, they're going to be a playoff team.

1837
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:12,200
Speaker 19: And the Denver Broncos are still a playoff team. So

1838
01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:14,360
Speaker 19: really in the next few years, it's going to be

1839
01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:17,559
Speaker 19: very hard. Despite a home run higher of Klint Kubiak,

1840
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:20,839
Speaker 19: which I think it is, and despite Spy Tech finally

1841
01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 19: doing what needs to be done in terms of spending

1842
01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:25,680
Speaker 19: a free agency Linderbaum all that stuff to compete in

1843
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 19: that division. So that puts Mendoza or whoever they pick,

1844
01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 19: and it is going to be Mendoza I at a

1845
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:32,280
Speaker 19: disadvantage right away in fantasy football.

1846
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 5: So that's just my take on that.

1847
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 19: But going back to some of the prospects, we are

1848
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:40,040
Speaker 19: just under four weeks away to the NFL Draft, believe

1849
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 19: it or not, I know everybody's talking about the NCAA tournament,

1850
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 19: and rightfully so that's still you know a lot of

1851
01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:49,559
Speaker 19: the times, some people only watch college basketball during March

1852
01:45:49,800 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 19: in April. Some people don't watch it all year round,

1853
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:54,200
Speaker 19: and I get how important it is. But also the

1854
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:56,639
Speaker 19: NFL Draft for the people that love it out there,

1855
01:45:57,080 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 19: there are some things that are going to happen in

1856
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:01,880
Speaker 19: this draft. You're gonna have tons of implications on your

1857
01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:05,320
Speaker 19: dynasty rosters. And now look for fantasy football next season,

1858
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:08,479
Speaker 19: and we'll start with those quarterbacks because Fernana Mendoza, like

1859
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:11,680
Speaker 19: I mentioned on the Raiders, I just don't see a

1860
01:46:11,720 --> 01:46:13,519
Speaker 19: fantasy outlook, even in dynasty leagues.

1861
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:15,479
Speaker 5: I wouldn't touch him. I do not care.

1862
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 19: There's no rushing value with him, really, And this is

1863
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:22,120
Speaker 19: a team that's going to be struggling to compete next

1864
01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 19: season even with everything they've spent. So that's number one

1865
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:30,000
Speaker 19: with ty Simpson, like Bernie just said, the track record

1866
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 19: of quarterbacks succeeding right away in the NFL without playing

1867
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:37,720
Speaker 19: a ton of college games, there's almost none that do that.

1868
01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:41,200
Speaker 19: Trey Lance didn't do it, Zach Wilson didn't do it.

1869
01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:44,200
Speaker 19: The one hit wonders didn't do it, and sometimes guys

1870
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:46,679
Speaker 19: can struggle after playing three or four years. Trevor Lawrence,

1871
01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:49,200
Speaker 19: who everyone thought was the second coming of Jesus Christ,

1872
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:52,000
Speaker 19: goes in the NFL and struggles for a few years, right,

1873
01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:55,000
Speaker 19: and he started for a bazillion years in college three

1874
01:46:55,439 --> 01:46:57,800
Speaker 19: So again, nothing is set in stone, and that's why

1875
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:01,400
Speaker 19: I like to avoid quarterbacks in dynasty leagues unless I

1876
01:47:01,439 --> 01:47:04,640
Speaker 19: really really like them. But for the wide receiver perspective,

1877
01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:07,880
Speaker 19: there's been a lot of conversation as well with Carnell Tate,

1878
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:11,360
Speaker 19: Jordan Tyson, Makayle Lemon, and Bernie knows my thoughts on

1879
01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 19: Makaye Lemon and why I have him as the wide receiver.

1880
01:47:13,400 --> 01:47:13,679
Speaker 5: One.

1881
01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:15,639
Speaker 19: I don't even have Tate as the wide receiver too.

1882
01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:18,320
Speaker 19: I think Jordan Tyson is five times the receiver of

1883
01:47:18,360 --> 01:47:20,080
Speaker 19: Carnel Tate. And I think it's starting to get out

1884
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 19: of hand how people are kind of putting Carnal Tate

1885
01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:25,679
Speaker 19: just because he's an Ohio State receiver on this pedestal,

1886
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:28,360
Speaker 19: like he's supposed to be the first guy taken, and

1887
01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 19: you can let teams make that mistake if he goes.

1888
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:33,599
Speaker 19: If any of these receivers go to Cleveland. Their fantasy

1889
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:36,479
Speaker 19: outlook is completely diminished already for the future.

1890
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:38,000
Speaker 5: Like, I'm not picking McKay.

1891
01:47:37,880 --> 01:47:39,960
Speaker 19: Lemon right after Jeremiah Love at the one to two

1892
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:42,759
Speaker 19: in the Dynasty Draft. If he goes to the Cleveland Browns,

1893
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 19: I'm sorry, I just don't trust their quarterback situation. I

1894
01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:48,639
Speaker 19: just don't. And that goes for Tate, that goes for Tyson.

1895
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:52,479
Speaker 19: But I think the player that has the highest upside

1896
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:56,240
Speaker 19: of any of these receivers is Jordan Tyson. Now, the

1897
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:59,200
Speaker 19: injuries are a concern the pro day, right, there are

1898
01:47:59,240 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 19: a lot of questions, what do you do anything? Not

1899
01:48:01,120 --> 01:48:02,840
Speaker 19: really didn't want to do it a whole lot. Right,

1900
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:07,640
Speaker 19: there are concerns about his outlook right away. But if

1901
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:11,200
Speaker 19: we're looking at the tape specifically, the guy that screams

1902
01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:14,439
Speaker 19: justin Jefferson esque in terms of what he can do

1903
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 19: and what he can separate, that is Jordan Tyson. I

1904
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:19,559
Speaker 19: would take the risk in Dynasty leagues, I would, and

1905
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:21,680
Speaker 19: I think you can get him pretty cheap if it

1906
01:48:21,720 --> 01:48:24,479
Speaker 19: continues to go in the direction it's looking like where

1907
01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:27,840
Speaker 19: he might fall behind Carnel Taton, behind Makayle Lemonon Now

1908
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 19: mikay Lemon's still my number one guy because I can

1909
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:32,080
Speaker 19: lock in that he's going to be an excellent player

1910
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:34,040
Speaker 19: in the NFL. I can lock that in right now

1911
01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 19: and buy all the stock in the world. And I

1912
01:48:36,080 --> 01:48:38,160
Speaker 19: just know his toughness and the way he plays is

1913
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:39,080
Speaker 19: going to translate.

1914
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:42,160
Speaker 5: Jordan Tyson's a risk, but that's a risk. I'm willing

1915
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:45,160
Speaker 5: to take. Bernie back to you BSD Takes.

1916
01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:46,760
Speaker 19: You can find me at you can find me at

1917
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:49,240
Speaker 19: Brandon s Deutsch on TikTok, Brandan Deutch on YouTube.

1918
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:50,120
Speaker 5: Back to you, Bernie.

1919
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:54,040
Speaker 2: Question, Brandon so, Jackson Smith and Jig but just got

1920
01:48:54,040 --> 01:48:57,080
Speaker 2: the bag and it was extremely well deserved. Have you

1921
01:48:57,120 --> 01:48:59,560
Speaker 2: ever taken a deep dive into when players get the

1922
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 2: big money that are normally high demand players in fantasy football,

1923
01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:05,639
Speaker 2: how they performed the very next year.

1924
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:10,120
Speaker 19: I mean, Jamar Chase performed pretty well this season. I

1925
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 19: know that's kind of an anomaly because he's so good,

1926
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:16,400
Speaker 19: justin Jefferson did not perform that well the following season.

1927
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 19: You could say, I guess Brandon Ayuk is a recent

1928
01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 19: one that he never played after getting that contract, really

1929
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 19: truly didn't really play. So it is a risk, you know,

1930
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:29,880
Speaker 19: I think paying a receiver that much money. I'm not

1931
01:49:30,160 --> 01:49:32,439
Speaker 19: in agreement with that. I don't think Seattle wins another

1932
01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:34,800
Speaker 19: super Bowl with this corps, specifically because they're going to

1933
01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 19: have to pay all these guys. And obviously it's super

1934
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 19: hard to repeat. But yeah, I mean when you when

1935
01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:43,240
Speaker 19: you when we're discussing the Puka and Akua situation, obviously

1936
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:45,280
Speaker 19: that's a whole, separate, separate story.

1937
01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:46,880
Speaker 2: There's some very biting allegations.

1938
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:49,599
Speaker 5: So he's gonna get paid a lot of money, right,

1939
01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:50,519
Speaker 5: I think.

1940
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:52,840
Speaker 2: Well, I love the guy, but boy, there's he's been

1941
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:54,440
Speaker 2: a weird last couple.

1942
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:55,679
Speaker 5: Of months one hundred percent.

1943
01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:57,760
Speaker 19: So I to answer your question, I don't think it

1944
01:49:57,840 --> 01:50:00,840
Speaker 19: bodes well giving these super max type of deals to

1945
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 19: receivers most of the time, unless you have like a

1946
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:05,080
Speaker 19: generational talent like Jamar Chase.

1947
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:10,479
Speaker 2: All right, Bud good stuff. Fantasy files will continue. There

1948
01:50:10,600 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 2: is an ever, there is a never ending insatiable first

1949
01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:19,479
Speaker 2: for NFL stuff. And hey, we're right around the corner

1950
01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:22,720
Speaker 2: from the draft. We're just weeks away, and that'll be

1951
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 2: a big thing as well coming up. What are the

1952
01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:29,479
Speaker 2: top storylines we can look for in Major League Baseball

1963
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:09,160
Speaker 2: to all the biggest games of the weekend. Tuned into

1964
01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 2: Contown presented by BETMGM every Saturday and Sunday morning right

1965
01:51:12,200 --> 01:51:16,719
Speaker 2: here in Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app.

1966
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:22,840
Speaker 2: The baseball season's underway. Man, I'm here for it. And

1967
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:28,200
Speaker 2: I knew this before the season started, but now that

1968
01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 2: the season has started, there are multiple I think very

1969
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:38,840
Speaker 2: provocative and interesting and curious storylines, not the least of

1970
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:44,200
Speaker 2: which will the Dodgers three peate. That's one of them.

1971
01:51:44,640 --> 01:51:46,400
Speaker 2: And coming up to the end of the show, I

1972
01:51:46,640 --> 01:51:48,160
Speaker 2: spoiler alert. I'm going to tell you why I think

1973
01:51:48,160 --> 01:51:52,280
Speaker 2: they are. But that's a storyline following their twenty twenty

1974
01:51:52,280 --> 01:51:55,800
Speaker 2: five World Series victory over Toronto in an epic World

1975
01:51:55,840 --> 01:51:58,960
Speaker 2: Series the Dodgers, while they're attempting to become the first

1976
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:02,920
Speaker 2: team to win three executive titles since the two thousand Yankees.

1977
01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:06,439
Speaker 2: Here's what's interesting. Spoiler alert for what I'm going to

1978
01:52:06,520 --> 01:52:10,520
Speaker 2: do in about an hour from now. Last year, the Dodgers'

1979
01:52:10,680 --> 01:52:14,720
Speaker 2: bullpen had an ERA of four point twenty seven and

1980
01:52:14,960 --> 01:52:18,080
Speaker 2: they still won it. What do they do. They go

1981
01:52:18,120 --> 01:52:20,479
Speaker 2: out and get Edwin Diaz and show up their bullpen

1982
01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:24,360
Speaker 2: and they add Kyle Tucker. They know how to win.

1983
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:28,320
Speaker 2: It's in their DNA. They can win on reputation. Like

1984
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:31,559
Speaker 2: Casey Stankel once said about the Yankees the fifties when

1985
01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:34,200
Speaker 2: they won nine out of twelve times. He said, people

1986
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:37,920
Speaker 2: can't beat the Yankees. They get stuck staring at the pinstripes.

1987
01:52:39,680 --> 01:52:42,719
Speaker 2: First of all, the Dodgers already had a star studded roster,

1988
01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:46,479
Speaker 2: and then they add Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz and

1989
01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:48,360
Speaker 2: they all check their ego at the door, and it's

1990
01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:53,439
Speaker 2: a great group and they're managed well are they barring

1991
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:58,360
Speaker 2: something unforeseen? And they got a Tommy back on the mountain. Well,

1992
01:52:58,920 --> 01:53:01,759
Speaker 2: we'll see that going to be a story. So many

1993
01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 2: people are rooting for them to fail, and we'll see

1994
01:53:06,280 --> 01:53:10,840
Speaker 2: what happens. I don't think they're going to the ABS.

1995
01:53:10,920 --> 01:53:14,240
Speaker 2: Challenge system has made its debut in a real, live

1996
01:53:15,040 --> 01:53:18,559
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball game, so for the first time, a

1997
01:53:18,720 --> 01:53:22,439
Speaker 2: challenge based rope ot umpire system is being used now

1998
01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:27,280
Speaker 2: in the regular season. Here's can challenge a ball strike call.

1999
01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:31,599
Speaker 2: Pictures can challenge a ball strike call. Catchers can challenge

2000
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:35,760
Speaker 2: a ball strike call. You can only screw up twice. Still,

2001
01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 2: And what I don't what I am observing so far,

2002
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 2: quite honestly, is there is a real hesitancy for teams

2003
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:49,800
Speaker 2: to want to make a challenge. It's like you don't

2004
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:52,280
Speaker 2: want to screw up and make a mistake. And I

2005
01:53:52,280 --> 01:53:58,680
Speaker 2: would just say this that number one, I don't know

2006
01:53:58,720 --> 01:54:02,919
Speaker 2: why you do it at early innings. Let the game evolve.

2007
01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:06,040
Speaker 2: Maybe if you strike out with the bass a little

2008
01:54:06,080 --> 01:54:10,080
Speaker 2: on a bad third strike call and it's the third inning, yeah,

2009
01:54:10,120 --> 01:54:12,200
Speaker 2: I think you got a count as that, which leads

2010
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:15,320
Speaker 2: to my next point. Why would you only why would

2011
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:17,439
Speaker 2: you why would you challenge any other pitch unless it's

2012
01:54:17,439 --> 01:54:21,120
Speaker 2: a third strike, strikeout, save it. Yeah, I mean, there's

2013
01:54:21,160 --> 01:54:24,760
Speaker 2: gonna be a strategy to this. Kyle Schwarber had on

2014
01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:29,040
Speaker 2: a bat today in the Phillies game against the Rangers.

2015
01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:34,240
Speaker 2: I watched it and h on a one on two count.

2016
01:54:34,280 --> 01:54:36,360
Speaker 2: On a one on one count, he challenged the strike

2017
01:54:36,440 --> 01:54:40,520
Speaker 2: two and it was low, I thought, I thought, I

2018
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:42,560
Speaker 2: really thought it was low, but just enough of the

2019
01:54:42,600 --> 01:54:49,280
Speaker 2: ball was touching that goofy square and Kyler uh his his,

2020
01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:54,320
Speaker 2: you know, his Schwarb's Kyle Schwarber's call was he failed,

2021
01:54:54,360 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 2: and so it was you know, it was not overturned,

2022
01:54:57,120 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 2: and Philly was out of challenges. Uh. The next pitch

2023
01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:07,400
Speaker 2: was a sinker that bit down so hard it was

2024
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:09,600
Speaker 2: out of the strike zone and it was called for

2025
01:55:09,640 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 2: a strike and it was a ball and he couldn't

2026
01:55:13,040 --> 01:55:17,440
Speaker 2: challenge you. So look, I realized, they want to increase

2027
01:55:17,480 --> 01:55:20,760
Speaker 2: the accuracy, you want to reduce the blatant miss calls,

2028
01:55:22,560 --> 01:55:26,320
Speaker 2: and you know it's not really it only delays the game.

2029
01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:29,800
Speaker 2: They're finding out for the entire game, uh, less and

2030
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:32,960
Speaker 2: less than a minute. So I get all that. The

2031
01:55:33,080 --> 01:55:35,440
Speaker 2: umpire still called the game, and you still have the

2032
01:55:35,480 --> 01:55:38,560
Speaker 2: human element and you have two or three chances to

2033
01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:40,520
Speaker 2: reach you know, overturn airs. But I don't think anybody's

2034
01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:43,000
Speaker 2: figured out how to how to allow for the strategic

2035
01:55:43,080 --> 01:55:46,480
Speaker 2: challenges yet. Okay, and I think it it. It mitigates

2036
01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:49,480
Speaker 2: catcher framing. You don't entirely eliminate it, but the value

2037
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:52,160
Speaker 2: of a catcher's ability to frame pitches is reduced when

2038
01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:55,720
Speaker 2: technology is used. And I actually I'm one of the

2039
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 2: people that believe technical technical glitches are possible. The highlight

2040
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:03,879
Speaker 2: zone can sometimes feel inaccurate. It feels inconsistent with human perception.

2041
01:56:04,760 --> 01:56:07,720
Speaker 2: And you know, how do we know are all the

2042
01:56:07,760 --> 01:56:11,280
Speaker 2: machines around the league calibrated? This hawkeye system might vary

2043
01:56:11,320 --> 01:56:15,240
Speaker 2: slightly across different stadiums. That creates inconsistencies. How do we know?

2044
01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:19,640
Speaker 2: Some pitchers still prefer traditional human umpires to maintain a

2045
01:56:19,720 --> 01:56:24,000
Speaker 2: specific feel of report. I agree with that, so Major

2046
01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:26,960
Speaker 2: League Baseball they want to get things right, you know, fair.

2047
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:30,000
Speaker 2: But this is one of those you know, this is

2048
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:34,840
Speaker 2: like a Chappelle this everybody likes about me. A lot

2049
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 2: of people like it. I think this could end up

2050
01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 2: being a Chappelle skit. We're keeping it real, goes terribly wrong.

2051
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:44,560
Speaker 2: I just don't like it. I don't. I mean, you

2052
01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:48,160
Speaker 2: only get two challenges, Well, what about the other you know,

2053
01:56:48,160 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 2: two hundred pitches cumulatively for both teams that are thrown

2054
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 2: throughout the game. Those aren't important. So let's see. The

2055
01:56:56,080 --> 01:57:00,800
Speaker 2: labor uncertainty narrative is going to hang over baseball like

2056
01:57:00,840 --> 01:57:04,200
Speaker 2: a cloud all year. Just you know, if I have

2057
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:06,560
Speaker 2: a nickel for every time Jeff Passon brings it up,

2058
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:09,840
Speaker 2: Elon Musk will be mowing my law. But with the

2059
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:13,120
Speaker 2: CBA expiring after the season, their top of potential lockout,

2060
01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 2: it's already casting a shadow. There are some sticky points.

2061
01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:20,880
Speaker 2: The owners want a salary cap. I don't think the

2062
01:57:20,920 --> 01:57:24,480
Speaker 2: players will ever bend the knee to a salary cap ever. Ever, Ever,

2063
01:57:24,560 --> 01:57:28,480
Speaker 2: if you saw what I saw in nineteen ninety four

2064
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:30,760
Speaker 2: when I was making my debut in radio and they

2065
01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:33,600
Speaker 2: shut down the season August eleventh, and it was shut

2066
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:37,080
Speaker 2: down for the next eight months. It took Sandra Sotomayer

2067
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:40,120
Speaker 2: to order the parties back to work Supreme Court. They

2068
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:42,760
Speaker 2: finally got a deal, but a World Series was canceled

2069
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 2: and there was no salary cap. Now you got a

2070
01:57:45,960 --> 01:57:48,720
Speaker 2: little different breedom owners. We're not really sure if the

2071
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:50,960
Speaker 2: labor union is as strong as it used to be

2072
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:54,520
Speaker 2: I think it is. Here's what's different. The players don't

2073
01:57:54,560 --> 01:57:56,560
Speaker 2: want any extra this time. This will just keep everything

2074
01:57:56,640 --> 01:58:01,240
Speaker 2: the same. And I'm telling you right now, this narrative

2075
01:58:01,440 --> 01:58:06,280
Speaker 2: that teams with the highest payroll win. No, it's happened

2076
01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:09,000
Speaker 2: twice since the year two thousand. The Yankees did it

2077
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:12,480
Speaker 2: in two thousand, and the Dodgers did it last year. Okay,

2078
01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:17,720
Speaker 2: even top five payrolls in the last thirty years haven't

2079
01:58:17,800 --> 01:58:22,520
Speaker 2: won sixteen of those thirty years top five payrolls, So

2080
01:58:22,720 --> 01:58:26,920
Speaker 2: watch for late labor uncertainty. I was very unimpressed with

2081
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:30,600
Speaker 2: Netflix on their first broadcast unless you want to see

2082
01:58:30,640 --> 01:58:35,200
Speaker 2: interviews with Jamis Winston in WWE wrestlers, and I don't

2083
01:58:35,200 --> 01:58:39,919
Speaker 2: see a lot of Keen observations. So we'll see. They're

2084
01:58:39,960 --> 01:58:42,240
Speaker 2: gonna do the Yankees Giants in the Field of Dreams

2085
01:58:42,280 --> 01:58:45,320
Speaker 2: game on August thirteenth. Just another way to watch baseball.

2086
01:58:46,240 --> 01:58:49,160
Speaker 2: Shohio tanis two way return. He's back in the Dodgers'

2087
01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:52,400
Speaker 2: rotation for a full season, and I think that's his

2088
01:58:52,480 --> 01:58:55,960
Speaker 2: story because he is going to handing him the ball

2089
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:58,080
Speaker 2: every fifth day for the Dodgers. Is going to be something.

2090
01:58:58,920 --> 01:59:01,280
Speaker 2: I was just in Michigan this week. Trek scoubl his

2091
01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:05,040
Speaker 2: free agency looms. The fans are mad at him, and

2092
01:59:05,120 --> 01:59:07,960
Speaker 2: it's crazy they need him. One of the big stories

2093
01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:12,080
Speaker 2: we're going to watch this whole year is the managerial debut,

2094
01:59:12,120 --> 01:59:14,120
Speaker 2: which has already taken place there zero and three, which

2095
01:59:14,120 --> 01:59:18,640
Speaker 2: doesn't really mean anything of Tony Vattello. Tony Vattello jumps

2096
01:59:18,680 --> 01:59:23,040
Speaker 2: straight from coaching as the head coach at the University

2097
01:59:23,120 --> 01:59:28,680
Speaker 2: of Tennessee to managing in the major leagues. That hasn't

2098
01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:33,880
Speaker 2: happened since nineteen oh seven. So Tony Vittello is a

2099
01:59:33,880 --> 01:59:39,560
Speaker 2: big storyline. Trek Scuble, Shohi Otani watching games on Netflix,

2100
01:59:40,160 --> 01:59:45,280
Speaker 2: the ABS challenge system, the Dodgers Dynasty, all these things

2101
01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:49,200
Speaker 2: are in play, and I'm telling you my vote is

2102
01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:56,480
Speaker 2: I just don't like right now. Right now, the ABS system,

2103
01:59:57,520 --> 02:00:00,440
Speaker 2: the umpires are already getting ninety two two point eight

2104
02:00:00,480 --> 02:00:02,440
Speaker 2: percent of the calls. Right there is a human factor.

2105
02:00:02,840 --> 02:00:04,880
Speaker 2: And go back and watch John Crux at bat. If

2106
02:00:04,920 --> 02:00:08,080
Speaker 2: you don't believe me, I think you'll be surprised. All right,

2107
02:00:08,160 --> 02:00:09,880
Speaker 2: come it up. You know you love it. You can't

2108
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:12,000
Speaker 2: lay without it. We bring it back. What kind of

2109
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:16,520
Speaker 2: brand new fool are you? Followed by what my name?

2110
02:00:17,040 --> 02:00:19,360
Speaker 2: Keep it locks the Bernie Fraddles Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2111
02:00:19,840 --> 02:00:22,280
Speaker 2: That's right, you heard the man, The Bernie Fraddles Show

2112
02:00:22,320 --> 02:00:25,360
Speaker 2: keeps rolling right along. My name is Bernie Frattle woud

2113
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:27,880
Speaker 2: come to your line from the Las Vegas Fox Sports

2114
02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:36,240
Speaker 2: Radio studios. Well, you know on our show, as you'll

2115
02:00:36,280 --> 02:00:38,760
Speaker 2: Giberia once said, you can observe a lot by watching,

2116
02:00:38,800 --> 02:00:43,040
Speaker 2: and that's what we do see because around the world, well,

2117
02:00:43,160 --> 02:00:50,880
Speaker 2: people like to engage in behaviors. Sometimes those behaviors are odd, unusual, uncouth.

2118
02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:55,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes those behaviors run a follow the law and can

2119
02:00:55,360 --> 02:01:01,400
Speaker 2: even land some poor folks in custody. But with respect

2120
02:01:01,400 --> 02:01:03,839
Speaker 2: to all these behaviors, they have one thing in common.

2121
02:01:04,640 --> 02:01:07,760
Speaker 2: No matter how you characterize them, no matter how you

2122
02:01:07,800 --> 02:01:12,720
Speaker 2: describe them, no matter how you observe them, we always

2123
02:01:13,480 --> 02:01:17,040
Speaker 2: they always leave us scratching our heads and asking ourselves

2124
02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:24,000
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool you?

2125
02:01:25,320 --> 02:01:27,840
Speaker 1: So, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2126
02:01:29,080 --> 02:01:34,400
Speaker 2: Well tonight we take you to Lancashire, England, and he

2127
02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:41,400
Speaker 2: introduced you to what police called the Goldilocks Intruder. You see,

2128
02:01:42,520 --> 02:01:48,160
Speaker 2: mister and missus Nelson went on a short vacation in Lancashire,

2129
02:01:48,800 --> 02:01:51,960
Speaker 2: or they're from Lancashire, and I guess they call it

2130
02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:55,760
Speaker 2: holiday over there. They went a short holiday and when

2131
02:01:55,800 --> 02:02:01,240
Speaker 2: they returned, immediately upon approaching their front door, they knew

2132
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:07,720
Speaker 2: something was a miss because their newspaper was gone. They

2133
02:02:07,800 --> 02:02:11,800
Speaker 2: knew something was off. Their posted newspapers had been removed

2134
02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:16,080
Speaker 2: from the doormat, and then the front door appeared to

2135
02:02:16,160 --> 02:02:21,160
Speaker 2: be unlocked partially open. So the retired couple realized something

2136
02:02:21,320 --> 02:02:26,640
Speaker 2: was really a miss. But then it got weird. They

2137
02:02:26,760 --> 02:02:31,240
Speaker 2: know that when they left their house, by their words quote,

2138
02:02:31,280 --> 02:02:35,480
Speaker 2: it wasn't too tidy. But when they went away, and

2139
02:02:35,760 --> 02:02:39,400
Speaker 2: then when they they came back, they discovered that this

2140
02:02:39,560 --> 02:02:47,680
Speaker 2: individual who was characterized as the Goldilocks intruder, had gone

2141
02:02:47,800 --> 02:02:51,840
Speaker 2: to a great length. He didn't burglarize the home. He

2142
02:02:51,960 --> 02:02:58,040
Speaker 2: cleaned up the home, moved around some things, and tied

2143
02:02:58,080 --> 02:03:01,800
Speaker 2: it up. And then apparently he was evident that he

2144
02:03:01,920 --> 02:03:05,680
Speaker 2: bade himself a couple of meals, done some laundry, even

2145
02:03:05,680 --> 02:03:12,400
Speaker 2: done a little bit of grocery shopping. Now missus Nelson

2146
02:03:12,800 --> 02:03:15,800
Speaker 2: did mention quote he did burn an old saucepan but

2147
02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:18,720
Speaker 2: you know that happens. What's crazy about here is that

2148
02:03:18,840 --> 02:03:23,520
Speaker 2: the couple that owned the home, they said they did

2149
02:03:23,600 --> 02:03:27,280
Speaker 2: not feel threatened by their uninvited guests. They searched around

2150
02:03:27,320 --> 02:03:32,400
Speaker 2: the house and was this person still here? Well, yes

2151
02:03:32,440 --> 02:03:40,800
Speaker 2: he was. He was sleeping peacefully in their bed. Can't

2152
02:03:40,840 --> 02:03:44,480
Speaker 2: make this stuff, folks, You can't, but we don't. Ladies

2153
02:03:44,480 --> 02:03:47,920
Speaker 2: and gentlemen, meet Luka Tchaikowski, who was originally from Poland.

2154
02:03:48,360 --> 02:03:51,120
Speaker 2: Yes he was arrested. Yes, he was given a two

2155
02:03:51,160 --> 02:03:55,360
Speaker 2: year conditional discharge and find two hundred pounds at the

2156
02:03:55,400 --> 02:04:01,080
Speaker 2: Burnley Center court after he admitted burglary, which prompted Missus

2157
02:04:01,160 --> 02:04:03,560
Speaker 2: Dyson to say he was a bit like Goldilocks with

2158
02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:07,360
Speaker 2: three bears, but he was more like the baby bear.

2159
02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:10,320
Speaker 16: Never heard of him.

2160
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:13,800
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, after they called the police, the police showed

2161
02:04:13,880 --> 02:04:17,960
Speaker 2: up and mister Tchanowski was still asleep when the officers

2162
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:23,640
Speaker 2: came to arrest him. Well, Missus Dyson actually said she

2163
02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:30,040
Speaker 2: felt somewhat sympathetic to this gentleman. But he did break in,

2164
02:04:31,080 --> 02:04:36,520
Speaker 2: even though it was quote neatly done. Mister Lucas Drukowski,

2165
02:04:36,640 --> 02:04:41,560
Speaker 2: formerly of Poland, breaking into the Nelson's house in Lancashire,

2166
02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:44,880
Speaker 2: cleaning the place up, making some meals, buying some groceries,

2167
02:04:44,920 --> 02:04:53,280
Speaker 2: and falling asleep. What kind of brand new fooler you on?

2168
02:04:53,360 --> 02:04:57,360
Speaker 2: Fire Mark? All right, mister Brandon Deutsch, you are up next.

2169
02:04:57,960 --> 02:05:01,400
Speaker 19: Alrighty, We're going out to floor for this next one.

2170
02:05:01,440 --> 02:05:04,080
Speaker 19: Because oh boy, yeah yeah, right when I say the

2171
02:05:04,120 --> 02:05:07,000
Speaker 19: word Florida, you know immediately that it's going to be

2172
02:05:07,120 --> 02:05:12,879
Speaker 19: something crazy. So a Flager County man was caught driving

2173
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:16,720
Speaker 19: backward last week alongside State Road one hundred.

2174
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:20,240
Speaker 2: Prompted, name, wasn't Tiger Woods, was it? I'm sorry?

2175
02:05:20,280 --> 02:05:21,960
Speaker 5: I that was a good one.

2176
02:05:22,560 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 19: In fact, I chose this one because I was thinking

2177
02:05:24,360 --> 02:05:29,360
Speaker 19: about Tiger Woods, prompting an unusual encounter for law enforcement.

2178
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:31,760
Speaker 19: According to the Sheriff's office and a release, deputy said

2179
02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 19: that the incident happened on March thirteenth, when several callers

2180
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:37,600
Speaker 19: reported seeing a silver Sedan driving in reverse in the

2181
02:05:37,680 --> 02:05:42,720
Speaker 19: highway's eastbound lanes. Imagine seeing that, Bernie, That'd be pretty crazy.

2182
02:05:43,040 --> 02:05:45,640
Speaker 19: Deputies added that they tracked the car to a Panic

2183
02:05:45,640 --> 02:05:48,560
Speaker 19: Express parking lot, and it was pulled over near Airport

2184
02:05:48,680 --> 02:05:53,760
Speaker 19: Road after it quote spun right round. The driver, William

2185
02:05:53,840 --> 02:05:57,360
Speaker 19: Murphy the third, forty seven of Palm Coast, said the

2186
02:05:57,400 --> 02:06:00,840
Speaker 19: car had a mechanical issue and he thought quote the

2187
02:06:00,880 --> 02:06:04,360
Speaker 19: best option was to drive it backward to AutoZone close

2188
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:09,920
Speaker 19: quote except his mechanical issues evaporated when deputies got behind him,

2189
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:15,800
Speaker 19: or was it in front of him. I can't take

2190
02:06:15,840 --> 02:06:18,600
Speaker 19: credit for that. That's from the article. But you know what,

2191
02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:21,360
Speaker 19: I should have probably taken credit for it, but I won't.

2192
02:06:21,440 --> 02:06:21,720
Speaker 2: I won't.

2193
02:06:21,840 --> 02:06:22,760
Speaker 5: I'll give them credit.

2194
02:06:23,240 --> 02:06:26,280
Speaker 19: Body camera footage released by the Sheriff's office shows Murphy

2195
02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:29,680
Speaker 19: claiming that the car was stuck in reverse, though he

2196
02:06:29,680 --> 02:06:31,200
Speaker 19: didn't see it as a criminal issue.

2197
02:06:31,360 --> 02:06:31,640
Speaker 5: Quote.

2198
02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:33,200
Speaker 19: I didn't think it was that bad, you know what

2199
02:06:33,240 --> 02:06:36,000
Speaker 19: I'm saying. I wasn't even swerving or anything like that

2200
02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:40,879
Speaker 19: or driving fast. I was just driving backwards. So Bernie

2201
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:44,840
Speaker 19: William Murphy the third, what kind of brand new fool

2202
02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:47,800
Speaker 19: are you?

2203
02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:47,920
Speaker 15: Now?

2204
02:06:47,960 --> 02:06:50,400
Speaker 2: If mister Murphy was in Lancashire, England, he might have

2205
02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:51,600
Speaker 2: been driving on the right side.

2206
02:06:51,400 --> 02:06:53,960
Speaker 5: Of the road, correct, That is possible.

2207
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:58,120
Speaker 2: Just saying, you know, just saying, all right, that's gonna

2208
02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:01,120
Speaker 2: do it. For another rousing addition of what kind of

2209
02:07:01,120 --> 02:07:03,960
Speaker 2: brand new fool you which now allows us a second

2210
02:07:03,960 --> 02:07:07,680
Speaker 2: way into our second favorite bit, which we'd lovingly referred

2211
02:07:07,720 --> 02:07:14,320
Speaker 2: to as what my name? All right, well, the baseball

2212
02:07:14,360 --> 02:07:17,600
Speaker 2: season this year, So why don't we start with one

2213
02:07:17,640 --> 02:07:21,600
Speaker 2: from the world to baseball. I am the only major

2214
02:07:21,680 --> 02:07:27,480
Speaker 2: league pitcher with two hundred wins as a starter and

2215
02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:32,040
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty saves. Here's a clue. I was

2216
02:07:32,120 --> 02:07:36,400
Speaker 2: part of those great Atlanta Braves pitching staffs Mark Ramsey.

2217
02:07:36,440 --> 02:07:44,879
Speaker 2: What my name broadcaster on the eighteen?

2218
02:07:47,360 --> 02:07:48,160
Speaker 4: Is it Smoltz?

2219
02:07:48,720 --> 02:07:52,960
Speaker 2: It is, in fact, John Smoltz. It is absolutely John Smoltz.

2220
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:56,760
Speaker 2: And John Smoltz is was not only a superb pitcher

2221
02:07:58,200 --> 02:08:03,360
Speaker 2: and successful, he's a great broadcaster, great, he's a great guy.

2222
02:08:03,400 --> 02:08:06,560
Speaker 2: I've spent some time with him, and he's a He's

2223
02:08:06,560 --> 02:08:07,120
Speaker 2: a great dude.

2224
02:08:07,160 --> 02:08:07,760
Speaker 4: Now where it is.

2225
02:08:07,800 --> 02:08:09,360
Speaker 5: He's a great golfer also.

2226
02:08:09,200 --> 02:08:12,840
Speaker 2: He is Yeah, yeah, he's a scratch golfer. Talked about

2227
02:08:12,880 --> 02:08:14,840
Speaker 2: trying to join the tour at one point, and I

2228
02:08:14,920 --> 02:08:17,960
Speaker 2: think he realized that commitment was was a whole different

2229
02:08:17,960 --> 02:08:21,560
Speaker 2: to kettle of fish. So so I mix my metaphors

2230
02:08:22,040 --> 02:08:27,080
Speaker 2: all right on to how about a little NCAA basketball theme.

2231
02:08:27,920 --> 02:08:31,880
Speaker 2: I'm the last Big Ten coach to win an NCAA

2232
02:08:32,240 --> 02:08:36,520
Speaker 2: championship in basketball. Brandon Deutsch What my name?

2233
02:08:37,320 --> 02:08:37,720
Speaker 9: This is?

2234
02:08:37,880 --> 02:08:40,440
Speaker 19: Well famously because he hasn't won. He's only won one

2235
02:08:40,520 --> 02:08:45,640
Speaker 19: championship with his current school, despite the term January February.

2236
02:08:45,800 --> 02:08:49,640
Speaker 19: I Iszo, though the national championship has played in April,

2237
02:08:49,720 --> 02:08:51,120
Speaker 19: not March. But it's tom Izzo.

2238
02:08:52,160 --> 02:08:55,720
Speaker 2: Well done, nice Naris. I know that he's been getting

2239
02:08:55,800 --> 02:09:01,240
Speaker 2: killed on Twitter, and I I have to recuse myself

2240
02:09:01,280 --> 02:09:03,480
Speaker 2: because I've done some radio shows where he sat right

2241
02:09:03,480 --> 02:09:05,640
Speaker 2: next to He's a great guy. You know, he's been

2242
02:09:05,680 --> 02:09:10,040
Speaker 2: to like nine sixteen final fours and our checked that

2243
02:09:10,760 --> 02:09:14,120
Speaker 2: h sixteen sweet sixteen's like eight nine final fours. I

2244
02:09:14,160 --> 02:09:15,640
Speaker 2: get it. I know people are gonna beat him up

2245
02:09:15,640 --> 02:09:17,600
Speaker 2: because the only won one. Rob Parker and I went

2246
02:09:17,640 --> 02:09:19,680
Speaker 2: on the air. On the air, we went at it

2247
02:09:19,680 --> 02:09:23,840
Speaker 2: pretty hard one day about that. But you look facts

2248
02:09:23,880 --> 02:09:26,160
Speaker 2: as facts, I guess, but you got the correct answer,

2249
02:09:27,240 --> 02:09:32,480
Speaker 2: all right. When it comes to just winning games, just victories, victories,

2250
02:09:33,400 --> 02:09:39,160
Speaker 2: I've won more March Madness games than any coach in history.

2251
02:09:40,120 --> 02:09:43,560
Speaker 2: Mark Ramsey, what my name? Here's a clue. I am retired,

2252
02:09:44,520 --> 02:09:46,879
Speaker 2: but the school I used to coach is still alive.

2253
02:09:52,600 --> 02:09:55,320
Speaker 4: See my guess is gonna be the guy from Yukon.

2254
02:09:55,560 --> 02:09:56,600
Speaker 4: So that's my guess.

2255
02:09:57,880 --> 02:10:00,480
Speaker 2: Not a bad guess. It's not. It's not Dan Hurley,

2256
02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:03,280
Speaker 2: although the way he's going, I'll tell you what it

2257
02:10:03,320 --> 02:10:08,760
Speaker 2: could beat him someday. I've won more March Madness games

2258
02:10:09,280 --> 02:10:14,160
Speaker 2: than any coach in history. Brandon Deutsch, What my name?

2259
02:10:14,920 --> 02:10:16,480
Speaker 5: I have to guess Coach K?

2260
02:10:17,560 --> 02:10:27,600
Speaker 2: It is, in fact coach K Mike Shchefski. As we

2261
02:10:27,800 --> 02:10:34,560
Speaker 2: continue on, I once attempted twenty seven free throws in

2262
02:10:34,640 --> 02:10:40,880
Speaker 2: a single March Madness game. This is still a wrecker.

2263
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:47,240
Speaker 2: Now here's a clue. I'm long since retired, but I

2264
02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:52,840
Speaker 2: didn't win multiple NBA championships. And my nickname was the

2265
02:10:52,920 --> 02:10:55,080
Speaker 2: Admiral Mark Ramsey. What my name?

2266
02:10:57,440 --> 02:11:06,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the Admiral. He was a san Antonio, the Admiral.

2267
02:11:05,640 --> 02:11:07,440
Speaker 2: You're right for san Antonio parts right.

2268
02:11:09,800 --> 02:11:12,839
Speaker 4: I forgot his first name, but he's an atrosall.

2269
02:11:12,960 --> 02:11:18,560
Speaker 2: That's all right. I once attempted twenty seven free throws

2270
02:11:18,680 --> 02:11:24,320
Speaker 2: in a March Madness game, still a record, Brandon Deutsch,

2271
02:11:24,360 --> 02:11:24,920
Speaker 2: wit my name?

2272
02:11:25,400 --> 02:11:28,280
Speaker 19: Still mad that he got injured. They were able to

2273
02:11:28,320 --> 02:11:30,360
Speaker 19: tank and get Tim Duncan the next year with the

2274
02:11:30,400 --> 02:11:31,120
Speaker 19: first overall.

2275
02:11:31,200 --> 02:11:32,600
Speaker 5: Pick David Robinson.

2276
02:11:32,840 --> 02:11:34,160
Speaker 2: That's right, David Robinson.

2277
02:11:35,680 --> 02:11:37,280
Speaker 5: Spurs are so lucky, aren't they.

2278
02:11:37,720 --> 02:11:40,120
Speaker 2: They got lucky, and now they're doing it with wenb yep,

2279
02:11:40,520 --> 02:11:42,680
Speaker 2: and let's see if they win. I'll tell you what, man,

2280
02:11:42,720 --> 02:11:46,040
Speaker 2: They are alive. They are alive. We'll see what happens.

2281
02:11:46,080 --> 02:11:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm actually looking forward more so to this NBA playoffs,

2282
02:11:50,040 --> 02:11:52,040
Speaker 2: and I have than I can remember at any time

2283
02:11:52,040 --> 02:11:57,320
Speaker 2: in recent years. All Right. I once blocked eleven shots

2284
02:11:58,120 --> 02:12:02,160
Speaker 2: versus b y U March Madness game back in nineteen

2285
02:12:02,240 --> 02:12:05,480
Speaker 2: ninety two. I blocked eleven shots in a single game,

2286
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:12,720
Speaker 2: still a record, Mark Ramsey, What my name? I won

2287
02:12:12,880 --> 02:12:18,160
Speaker 2: NBA championships with two different teams, and I'm now a broadcaster.

2288
02:12:20,960 --> 02:12:23,520
Speaker 4: Does he do a lot of commercials for the general?

2289
02:12:23,760 --> 02:12:25,760
Speaker 2: Does a lot of commercials?

2290
02:12:26,160 --> 02:12:26,760
Speaker 4: Is it Shack?

2291
02:12:27,320 --> 02:12:30,160
Speaker 2: It is Shack? Nicely done on the general commercials. That's

2292
02:12:30,160 --> 02:12:35,960
Speaker 2: a good clue. A Shack is an all time likable laker.

2293
02:12:35,960 --> 02:12:38,560
Speaker 2: Even though he didn't leave under the he left under

2294
02:12:38,600 --> 02:12:42,840
Speaker 2: somewhat unceremonious circumstances because doctor Buss chose Kobe over him.

2295
02:12:42,920 --> 02:12:47,000
Speaker 2: But there's a guy whose legacy is secure in my view,

2296
02:12:47,840 --> 02:12:51,040
Speaker 2: all right, when it comes to all time scoring records

2297
02:12:51,120 --> 02:12:56,240
Speaker 2: in the in the you know, the NCAA Basketball Tournament,

2298
02:12:56,240 --> 02:12:58,320
Speaker 2: March Madness, the Big Dance, whatever you want to call it.

2299
02:12:59,120 --> 02:13:02,200
Speaker 2: I lead all scorer is with a career four hundred

2300
02:13:02,200 --> 02:13:08,040
Speaker 2: and seven total points in March Madness. Still a record.

2301
02:13:08,840 --> 02:13:12,880
Speaker 2: Brandon Deutch, what my name? Here's a clue. The team

2302
02:13:12,920 --> 02:13:14,720
Speaker 2: he played for is still alive.

2303
02:13:16,320 --> 02:13:20,240
Speaker 19: Yeah, I you know, the clue does help. It has

2304
02:13:20,280 --> 02:13:22,640
Speaker 19: to be somebody from back in the day that played.

2305
02:13:22,440 --> 02:13:24,720
Speaker 2: Numerous years in the early nineties.

2306
02:13:24,880 --> 02:13:27,120
Speaker 19: Okay, yeah, that blows it down. Okay, Then it has

2307
02:13:27,160 --> 02:13:28,160
Speaker 19: to be Christian Layner.

2308
02:13:28,240 --> 02:13:30,560
Speaker 2: Then it is a great job. That's nice. I had

2309
02:13:30,600 --> 02:13:33,040
Speaker 2: a couple other clues to bring out, but it is Christian.

2310
02:13:32,760 --> 02:13:35,760
Speaker 5: Lake Okay, because now it could never be broken right

2311
02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:39,200
Speaker 5: now in state? Well I guess now il nil maybe now.

2312
02:13:39,280 --> 02:13:41,920
Speaker 2: Who knows possible. But well, first of all, you got

2313
02:13:41,920 --> 02:13:44,920
Speaker 2: to get to the tournament. Yeah, and if you play,

2314
02:13:45,080 --> 02:13:48,440
Speaker 2: I mean think about it. Let's say you go to

2315
02:13:48,480 --> 02:13:51,800
Speaker 2: the final four all four years, at sixteen games, if

2316
02:13:51,840 --> 02:13:55,360
Speaker 2: you average twenty five points a game, you're still seven

2317
02:13:55,360 --> 02:13:56,040
Speaker 2: points short.

2318
02:13:56,400 --> 02:13:59,200
Speaker 5: I still can't believe Christian Layner wasn't an NBA Superstar.

2319
02:13:59,440 --> 02:14:01,560
Speaker 2: It was a good place. He was a good player,

2320
02:14:01,600 --> 02:14:04,400
Speaker 2: his game didn't quite translate quite the same and he'd

2321
02:14:04,440 --> 02:14:06,920
Speaker 2: played for great you hum around over a decade.

2322
02:14:07,440 --> 02:14:09,000
Speaker 19: Yeah, he was a solid player. But you know, it

2323
02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:11,200
Speaker 19: will be remembered for the shot and Team USA.

2324
02:14:11,360 --> 02:14:13,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that was that. That'll be with the

2325
02:14:13,480 --> 02:14:15,960
Speaker 2: all time highlight. I remember that. I remember that.

2326
02:14:16,440 --> 02:14:16,600
Speaker 8: Uh.

2327
02:14:16,640 --> 02:14:18,400
Speaker 2: And then you know the thing about Latner too is

2328
02:14:18,400 --> 02:14:22,680
Speaker 2: but you're going to be My next clue was that

2329
02:14:23,000 --> 02:14:26,160
Speaker 2: you talk about a polarizing player. I mean, one of

2330
02:14:26,160 --> 02:14:31,320
Speaker 2: the funniest, most entertaining esp in thirty for thirties is

2331
02:14:31,560 --> 02:14:34,960
Speaker 2: I hate Christian Laytner. I recommend people watch it. It's

2332
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:36,640
Speaker 2: it's great, It's evergreen.

2333
02:14:36,240 --> 02:14:39,480
Speaker 5: The start of the Duke the Duke players that people hate.

2334
02:14:40,160 --> 02:14:44,400
Speaker 19: Reddick was another one eventually when he played, Yep, goes

2335
02:14:44,440 --> 02:14:45,400
Speaker 19: down a while.

2336
02:14:45,240 --> 02:14:51,080
Speaker 2: If you start naming him. Ye, I'm not a Duke cater, though, honestly,

2337
02:14:51,080 --> 02:14:52,800
Speaker 2: I really respect what they do and I've been to

2338
02:14:52,840 --> 02:14:55,040
Speaker 2: that I've been to that campus. It's quite quite a thing,

2339
02:14:55,240 --> 02:15:00,160
Speaker 2: all right. Another record, I hold the March Madness record

2340
02:15:00,960 --> 02:15:03,760
Speaker 2: for one hundred and twenty seven assists. I dished out

2341
02:15:03,720 --> 02:15:07,600
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty seven assists in my March Madness career.

2342
02:15:08,480 --> 02:15:11,440
Speaker 2: There's still an all time record. Mark Ramsey, what my

2343
02:15:11,520 --> 02:15:15,160
Speaker 2: name again? I played for a school that is still

2344
02:15:15,200 --> 02:15:18,760
Speaker 2: alive and oh yeah, people kind of hate them, some

2345
02:15:18,800 --> 02:15:19,400
Speaker 2: people not me.

2346
02:15:21,040 --> 02:15:22,800
Speaker 4: What's the other clue that.

2347
02:15:22,560 --> 02:15:27,520
Speaker 2: The clue was? I was a college basketball coach for

2348
02:15:27,560 --> 02:15:28,760
Speaker 2: twelve years until.

2349
02:15:28,520 --> 02:15:31,920
Speaker 4: Recently coach for twelve years.

2350
02:15:33,320 --> 02:15:37,280
Speaker 2: Just got the ziggy. Here's a killer clue for you.

2351
02:15:38,040 --> 02:15:40,600
Speaker 2: My brother is a current college basketball coach.

2352
02:15:40,680 --> 02:15:41,800
Speaker 4: Is this a Hurly person?

2353
02:15:43,120 --> 02:15:44,840
Speaker 2: Can you give me the first name? Oh?

2354
02:15:44,920 --> 02:15:46,440
Speaker 4: I can remember it is a Hurley because they.

2355
02:15:46,560 --> 02:15:48,800
Speaker 2: Give you half credit. I gave you a half credit.

2356
02:15:49,200 --> 02:15:53,080
Speaker 2: That's not bad, but I gotta I gotta be hard

2357
02:15:53,120 --> 02:15:55,360
Speaker 2: ass of this one. But you get half credit.

2358
02:15:55,360 --> 02:15:56,640
Speaker 4: Now you may I have another?

2359
02:15:58,080 --> 02:15:59,760
Speaker 2: Yes? Do you want to take a guess?

2360
02:16:00,880 --> 02:16:00,960
Speaker 10: No?

2361
02:16:01,040 --> 02:16:02,720
Speaker 4: I was going with the joke. Thank you? May I

2362
02:16:02,760 --> 02:16:03,480
Speaker 4: have another session?

2363
02:16:03,520 --> 02:16:09,400
Speaker 2: Being nicely done? Nicely done, good good stuff. Mark one

2364
02:16:09,480 --> 02:16:11,320
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty seven assists. I hold the all time

2365
02:16:11,360 --> 02:16:13,880
Speaker 2: record March Madness. Brandon Deutsch what my name?

2366
02:16:14,040 --> 02:16:14,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2367
02:16:14,360 --> 02:16:17,040
Speaker 19: It's hilarious because his brother is such a better coach

2368
02:16:17,080 --> 02:16:19,840
Speaker 19: but was a far inferior player, though they were both

2369
02:16:19,880 --> 02:16:22,520
Speaker 19: solid players, but you know it's specifically in high school.

2370
02:16:22,600 --> 02:16:26,840
Speaker 19: But this is former Arizona State head coach Bobby Hurley,

2371
02:16:26,880 --> 02:16:28,080
Speaker 19: based on the Hurley.

2372
02:16:27,800 --> 02:16:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's another guy that was none two lights.

2373
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:34,440
Speaker 2: I remember when they beat UNLB in ninety one, when

2374
02:16:34,560 --> 02:16:38,240
Speaker 2: UNLB tried to repeat and her. You talk about a

2375
02:16:38,240 --> 02:16:39,640
Speaker 2: guy that would have had a hall of a career

2376
02:16:39,680 --> 02:16:44,160
Speaker 2: if he hadn't had that terrible car accident. Bobby Hurley

2377
02:16:44,200 --> 02:16:46,400
Speaker 2: almost died. He was throwing like sixty feet from his car.

2378
02:16:46,400 --> 02:16:48,680
Speaker 2: You know about that, right, Brandon, Yeah, I mean it

2379
02:16:48,720 --> 02:16:50,600
Speaker 2: happened to like in December nineteen.

2380
02:16:50,600 --> 02:16:52,160
Speaker 5: They've both had crazy lives.

2381
02:16:52,920 --> 02:16:58,959
Speaker 2: They did. And what's interesting is obviously Danny Hurley has

2382
02:16:59,520 --> 02:17:03,160
Speaker 2: suffered internally because he doesn't believe he lived up to

2383
02:17:03,200 --> 02:17:05,360
Speaker 2: his brother or his father, who's a legend. Also, until

2384
02:17:05,360 --> 02:17:08,119
Speaker 2: he won the two championships, he actually scored more than

2385
02:17:08,120 --> 02:17:12,000
Speaker 2: a thousand points in his college basketball career. He was

2386
02:17:12,160 --> 02:17:15,160
Speaker 2: very choppy, but he had a thousand points. For what

2387
02:17:15,200 --> 02:17:17,600
Speaker 2: it's worth, Well, I will do one more, as we

2388
02:17:17,680 --> 02:17:22,880
Speaker 2: always do one more. Well. The San Francisco Giants have

2389
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:27,680
Speaker 2: started a different player in left field for nineteen years

2390
02:17:27,720 --> 02:17:32,320
Speaker 2: in a row. I'm the last San Francisco Giant outfielder

2391
02:17:33,720 --> 02:17:35,920
Speaker 2: to start in left field and back to back years.

2392
02:17:36,360 --> 02:17:40,000
Speaker 2: Here's a clue. I just made my broadcasting debut on

2393
02:17:40,280 --> 02:17:45,720
Speaker 2: opening night, Mark Ramsey, what my name. I'm not in

2394
02:17:45,720 --> 02:17:47,400
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame, but a lot of people think

2395
02:17:47,400 --> 02:17:51,720
Speaker 2: I should be. I had swelled up to the size

2396
02:17:51,760 --> 02:17:52,879
Speaker 2: of forty.

2397
02:17:52,879 --> 02:17:59,879
Speaker 4: Canal, the swollen guy with the cream. Somebody like that.

2398
02:18:00,120 --> 02:18:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, good, see Mark grant Fire, this is good.

2399
02:18:02,840 --> 02:18:07,240
Speaker 20: Cream took I know parts of the culture, but I

2400
02:18:07,600 --> 02:18:09,959
Speaker 20: don't really remember everybody's name. But he took cream and

2401
02:18:10,000 --> 02:18:12,360
Speaker 20: he played a lottiate. He was skinny in Pittsburgh. And

2402
02:18:12,360 --> 02:18:13,920
Speaker 20: then he blew up and said, I'm gonna.

2403
02:18:13,680 --> 02:18:16,080
Speaker 2: Give your credit. That's great. That's that's very good. Barry

2404
02:18:16,120 --> 02:18:19,920
Speaker 2: Bond's knowledge, that's that's that's the kind of you know,

2405
02:18:21,959 --> 02:18:24,280
Speaker 2: backstory knowledge that we bring here on the show. So

2406
02:18:24,320 --> 02:18:28,400
Speaker 2: that that's strong. That's strong. Maybe we had to alter

2407
02:18:28,520 --> 02:18:31,680
Speaker 2: this game to where you're like, we come with additional

2408
02:18:31,760 --> 02:18:34,360
Speaker 2: information as instead of the name, and you get like

2409
02:18:34,440 --> 02:18:38,720
Speaker 2: double points because he's right, he was skinny in Pittsburgh,

2410
02:18:39,080 --> 02:18:43,120
Speaker 2: and then San Francisco looked like somebody took a bicycle

2411
02:18:43,120 --> 02:18:45,040
Speaker 2: pump and stuck it up as took us and turned

2412
02:18:45,080 --> 02:18:45,880
Speaker 2: it on for two days.

2413
02:18:45,920 --> 02:18:48,920
Speaker 5: The greatest of all time though, Bernie, Now, well.

2414
02:18:49,280 --> 02:18:52,039
Speaker 2: You can make that case, Brandon, I will tell you why.

2415
02:18:52,440 --> 02:18:55,039
Speaker 2: I played the game at a reasonably high level. I

2416
02:18:55,160 --> 02:18:57,039
Speaker 2: came back in two thousand and two to get a

2417
02:18:57,080 --> 02:18:59,000
Speaker 2: credential when the Angels got to the World Series, and

2418
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:01,640
Speaker 2: I observed about twelve visit bats in person. I'm like,

2419
02:19:02,480 --> 02:19:05,880
Speaker 2: he not only was a phenomenal hitter, he had a

2420
02:19:05,879 --> 02:19:09,480
Speaker 2: great eye. His plate discipline was beyond belief. He probably

2421
02:19:09,520 --> 02:19:11,760
Speaker 2: could have ate eight out of orwards or more. He

2422
02:19:12,080 --> 02:19:15,560
Speaker 2: would walk to help his team, and yeah, you know

2423
02:19:16,320 --> 02:19:19,520
Speaker 2: it's hard to do that. We got guys like Ted

2424
02:19:19,560 --> 02:19:23,920
Speaker 2: Williams and Tony Gwynn and Babe Ruth and but man,

2425
02:19:24,600 --> 02:19:31,360
Speaker 2: he was just an exquisite hitter in every aspect. All Right,

2426
02:19:31,400 --> 02:19:34,800
Speaker 2: great job, guys, Really good job of another edition of

2427
02:19:34,800 --> 02:19:37,879
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool of you? And what

2428

Speaker 2: Would you want to do that? Come on, keep it locked.

2441
02:20:22,280 --> 02:20:28,199
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frautle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2442
02:20:28,879 --> 02:20:31,600
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2443
02:20:35,360 --> 02:20:38,160
Speaker 2: Hiver back at the Bernie Frautle Show Fox Sports Radio.

2444
02:20:38,280 --> 02:20:42,160
Speaker 2: Speaking of rules, what are the rules for the nine

2445
02:20:42,240 --> 02:20:46,199
Speaker 2: and nine nine innings? Nine beers, nine hot dogs? Well,

2446
02:20:46,879 --> 02:20:51,680
Speaker 2: the traditional hardcore rules were nine hot dogs, nine beers,

2447
02:20:51,959 --> 02:20:55,800
Speaker 2: and nine innings within the nine innings of a baseball game.

2448
02:20:56,840 --> 02:21:00,360
Speaker 2: One beer and one dog per inning was recommended. They

2449
02:21:00,400 --> 02:21:05,160
Speaker 2: said to avoid overloading at the end the game went

2450
02:21:05,200 --> 02:21:07,960
Speaker 2: to extra innings, well, the challenge meant he usually had

2451
02:21:08,000 --> 02:21:10,600
Speaker 2: to finish the dogs and the beers before the extra

2452
02:21:10,600 --> 02:21:13,840
Speaker 2: innings began. Those were the rules. This is an informal

2453
02:21:13,879 --> 02:21:17,480
Speaker 2: thing that made its way into baseball toward the end

2454
02:21:17,640 --> 02:21:21,600
Speaker 2: of last year, and all of a sudden, now the

2455
02:21:21,720 --> 02:21:24,359
Speaker 2: nine to nine to nine Challenge has become this viral,

2456
02:21:25,360 --> 02:21:30,040
Speaker 2: officially sanctioned stadium eating and drinking challenge featuring nine hot dogs,

2457
02:21:30,120 --> 02:21:33,879
Speaker 2: nine beers in nine innings, and Joey Chestnut Aramark Sports

2458
02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:38,440
Speaker 2: Entertainment while they're offering these kits that slept stadiums like

2459
02:21:38,680 --> 02:21:42,720
Speaker 2: Corsfield in dyk In Park and Houston and Cityfield in

2460
02:21:42,760 --> 02:21:48,320
Speaker 2: New York. But I'm hearing that these official kits feature

2461
02:21:48,360 --> 02:21:53,040
Speaker 2: these little flight sized beers and many hot dogs rather

2462
02:21:53,120 --> 02:21:56,840
Speaker 2: than the nine full sized beers and hot dogs. Now

2463
02:21:56,879 --> 02:22:00,760
Speaker 2: the challenge costs about sixty five bucks. Would you really

2464
02:22:00,800 --> 02:22:05,760
Speaker 2: want to do that? Okay, it kind of loses a

2465
02:22:05,760 --> 02:22:10,760
Speaker 2: bit of its luster, doesn't it. I'm just saying. I'm

2466
02:22:10,800 --> 02:22:13,920
Speaker 2: just saying the nine to nine to nine Challenge has

2467
02:22:13,959 --> 02:22:21,600
Speaker 2: been making the rounds. It's funny because people have input on,

2468
02:22:22,680 --> 02:22:25,199
Speaker 2: you know, strategy and how to do it and bathroom

2469
02:22:25,200 --> 02:22:28,400
Speaker 2: breaks and oh, by the way, there is one caveat too.

2470
02:22:29,440 --> 02:22:33,160
Speaker 2: An unofficial rule is you can't puke or you lose.

2471
02:22:34,320 --> 02:22:36,520
Speaker 2: Maybe this is too much information and we leave it

2472
02:22:36,600 --> 02:22:41,880
Speaker 2: right there. Yes, how many days until World Cup Soccer?

2473
02:22:42,400 --> 02:22:46,200
Speaker 2: Seventy four days until the start of the twenty twenty

2474
02:22:46,200 --> 02:22:49,320
Speaker 2: six feet O World Cup. We open up June eleventh

2475
02:22:49,879 --> 02:22:53,600
Speaker 2: at Estudio Esteca in Mexico City, and we go from

2476
02:22:53,640 --> 02:22:57,240
Speaker 2: there in the group stage and right on schedule. I

2477
02:22:57,280 --> 02:23:00,480
Speaker 2: don't think the US team is off to a very

2478
02:23:00,560 --> 02:23:04,480
Speaker 2: rousing start. It's time Chrispophett's World of Soccer.

2479
02:23:06,320 --> 02:23:22,360
Speaker 7: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama. It's

2480
02:23:22,400 --> 02:23:26,039
Speaker 7: all here in this report from the World of Soccer here.

2481
02:23:25,879 --> 02:23:26,560
Speaker 5: In Los Angeles.

2482
02:23:26,600 --> 02:23:29,080
Speaker 21: Has kind of felt like a preview of summer, which

2483
02:23:29,120 --> 02:23:33,040
Speaker 21: means we at the World of Soccer are starting to

2484
02:23:33,080 --> 02:23:36,080
Speaker 21: think World Cup again. First, before we get into the

2485
02:23:36,120 --> 02:23:39,320
Speaker 21: big news of what's happened this week with the United

2486
02:23:39,360 --> 02:23:42,720
Speaker 21: statesmen's teams, let's update a couple pokers in the fire

2487
02:23:42,760 --> 02:23:45,120
Speaker 21: when it comes to the World Cup. First off, we

2488
02:23:45,200 --> 02:23:48,640
Speaker 21: gave you the story of Iran a couple of weeks

2489
02:23:48,640 --> 02:23:52,280
Speaker 21: ago talking about how they want to participate in the

2490
02:23:52,280 --> 02:23:55,520
Speaker 21: World Cup. It doesn't seem like they will. The Iran's

2491
02:23:55,560 --> 02:23:59,000
Speaker 21: Ministry of Sports have has issued a statement that has

2492
02:23:59,080 --> 02:24:02,160
Speaker 21: banned sports unture from traveling to countries It considers quote

2493
02:24:02,240 --> 02:24:05,840
Speaker 21: unquote hostile. However, the band does not mention the World

2494
02:24:05,879 --> 02:24:09,640
Speaker 21: Cup on June eleventh, but it seems like that is

2495
02:24:09,840 --> 02:24:14,280
Speaker 21: in there. Once again, there's no clear answer quite yet,

2496
02:24:14,720 --> 02:24:18,280
Speaker 21: and everyone is left considering what will happen if Iran

2497
02:24:18,320 --> 02:24:20,120
Speaker 21: does not play in the World Cup. Of course, they

2498
02:24:20,160 --> 02:24:23,760
Speaker 21: blew through the Asian competition to reach the World Cup.

2499
02:24:23,959 --> 02:24:25,039
Speaker 1: They're in a group.

2500
02:24:24,840 --> 02:24:28,920
Speaker 21: With New Zealand, Egypt and Belgium, and I could easily

2501
02:24:28,920 --> 02:24:31,080
Speaker 21: see them getting a number two spot over there, especially

2502
02:24:31,080 --> 02:24:34,959
Speaker 21: if they can catch Egypt's sleeping So that's a little

2503
02:24:35,040 --> 02:24:37,800
Speaker 21: bit concerning. If we don't have that, we will continue

2504
02:24:37,879 --> 02:24:38,520
Speaker 21: keep our eye on that.

2505
02:24:39,440 --> 02:24:40,560
Speaker 5: I have to update this.

2506
02:24:40,760 --> 02:24:44,920
Speaker 21: Italy is finally after not making the World Cups in

2507
02:24:45,160 --> 02:24:50,160
Speaker 21: twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two, Italy is back in

2508
02:24:50,240 --> 02:24:53,840
Speaker 21: the World Cup with a victory in the playoffs over

2509
02:24:54,160 --> 02:24:55,240
Speaker 21: Northern Ireland.

2510
02:24:55,320 --> 02:24:56,560
Speaker 5: It's so good to be back.

2511
02:24:56,640 --> 02:24:59,360
Speaker 21: The next step, of course, for them, will be that

2512
02:24:59,480 --> 02:25:02,760
Speaker 21: they're struggles continue even further back once the Champions of

2513
02:25:02,760 --> 02:25:05,199
Speaker 21: the World back in two thousand and six. The next

2514
02:25:05,200 --> 02:25:07,640
Speaker 21: two World Cups after that, twenty ten and twenty fourteen,

2515
02:25:07,879 --> 02:25:11,240
Speaker 21: they failed to advance the knockout rounds, losing in their

2516
02:25:11,280 --> 02:25:15,040
Speaker 21: group stages in both and then missed outright two World Cups.

2517
02:25:15,240 --> 02:25:19,200
Speaker 21: So there is an entire generation of Italian fans who

2518
02:25:19,240 --> 02:25:23,520
Speaker 21: have not seen their team, their nation play a knockout

2519
02:25:23,600 --> 02:25:27,560
Speaker 21: round game in their lives. It's kind of embarrassing for

2520
02:25:27,640 --> 02:25:30,560
Speaker 21: a powerhouse like Italy. Hopefully this is a chance for

2521
02:25:30,600 --> 02:25:32,879
Speaker 21: them to get back to it. Now, however, let's talk

2522
02:25:32,920 --> 02:25:36,760
Speaker 21: about the United States, because, speaking of embarrassments, the United

2523
02:25:36,760 --> 02:25:39,520
Speaker 21: States in a friendly because they're automatically qualified for the

2524
02:25:39,560 --> 02:25:43,320
Speaker 21: World Cup because their hosting status got pantsed by Belgium

2525
02:25:43,640 --> 02:25:49,560
Speaker 21: on Saturday, a really bad pantsing two goals by Dodiye Lucibaccio,

2526
02:25:49,720 --> 02:25:53,280
Speaker 21: which maybe indicates that Belgium isn't quite dead like a

2527
02:25:53,280 --> 02:25:56,240
Speaker 21: lot of people have said as Lucaku ages out, but

2528
02:25:56,600 --> 02:25:59,080
Speaker 21: they are always going to have an incredibly good core.

2529
02:26:00,080 --> 02:26:02,240
Speaker 21: I don't know if that was a five two good

2530
02:26:02,800 --> 02:26:05,560
Speaker 21: for Belgium, and if you are the United States, it

2531
02:26:05,600 --> 02:26:10,320
Speaker 21: cannot be acceptable at all. What's embarrassing to me a

2532
02:26:10,360 --> 02:26:12,840
Speaker 21: little bit is then when I have to listen afterwards

2533
02:26:13,080 --> 02:26:16,040
Speaker 21: and I hear someone like say Christian Puel such Captain

2534
02:26:16,080 --> 02:26:21,199
Speaker 21: America seeming to blame the jerseys for Belgium, because Belgium

2535
02:26:21,200 --> 02:26:24,520
Speaker 21: wore these kind of like white off white tied eye jerseys.

2536
02:26:24,520 --> 02:26:27,520
Speaker 21: The Americans actually wore. Probably one of my favorite kits

2537
02:26:27,560 --> 02:26:31,080
Speaker 21: the Americans have, and it's a throwback. It's those red

2538
02:26:31,080 --> 02:26:34,000
Speaker 21: and white stripes ones. They used to wear those back

2539
02:26:34,040 --> 02:26:38,199
Speaker 21: in the twenty tens, and I've always enjoyed those jerseys.

2540
02:26:38,240 --> 02:26:42,600
Speaker 21: But Pulisic seemed to indicate that he was having trouble

2541
02:26:42,600 --> 02:26:46,080
Speaker 21: figuring out the field because of the white jerseys of Belgium,

2542
02:26:46,120 --> 02:26:48,920
Speaker 21: and that's just embarrassing and not something I want to hear.

2543
02:26:49,320 --> 02:26:52,560
Speaker 21: No matter what, there's no real good way around this.

2544
02:26:52,560 --> 02:26:55,720
Speaker 21: This defeat by Belgium, even though it's a friendly, is

2545
02:26:55,800 --> 02:27:00,879
Speaker 21: a very very hard crash to earth and reality check.

2546
02:27:01,280 --> 02:27:03,520
Speaker 21: This is a generation of American players we have been

2547
02:27:03,560 --> 02:27:06,280
Speaker 21: constantly told about is the future that will bring the

2548
02:27:06,360 --> 02:27:09,680
Speaker 21: United States up to the next level. They certainly played

2549
02:27:10,040 --> 02:27:13,560
Speaker 21: good when they had everyone healthy at the last World

2550
02:27:13,640 --> 02:27:14,520
Speaker 21: Cup in Qatar.

2551
02:27:14,959 --> 02:27:17,840
Speaker 5: They lacked depth at the time.

2552
02:27:17,920 --> 02:27:21,040
Speaker 21: They have that depth now, But I think this game

2553
02:27:21,080 --> 02:27:23,880
Speaker 21: against Belgium put the lie to it a lot of

2554
02:27:24,080 --> 02:27:28,000
Speaker 21: some of the players that quite honestly, we see his

2555
02:27:28,080 --> 02:27:31,880
Speaker 21: face of the team, but I am looking elsewhere now.

2556
02:27:31,920 --> 02:27:34,720
Speaker 21: Flaren Bolligan. We've talked a lot about on this program.

2557
02:27:34,959 --> 02:27:38,400
Speaker 21: He's red hot in French play. We didn't really see

2558
02:27:38,480 --> 02:27:41,640
Speaker 21: much here, but I have no issue continuing to trust Balligan.

2559
02:27:42,040 --> 02:27:46,720
Speaker 21: I think seeing the midfielder Johnny Cardoso, who's not really

2560
02:27:46,760 --> 02:27:50,040
Speaker 21: shown up much with the national team, is really had

2561
02:27:50,080 --> 02:27:52,480
Speaker 21: a really big day for him. Weston McKenney may have

2562
02:27:52,480 --> 02:27:54,840
Speaker 21: had a goal for the Americans. I think his performance

2563
02:27:54,920 --> 02:27:58,480
Speaker 21: was mixed, some good and some bad. I don't know

2564
02:27:58,520 --> 02:28:01,480
Speaker 21: about going with Matt Turner and goal over Matt Freeze,

2565
02:28:01,480 --> 02:28:04,000
Speaker 21: who had started for twelve twelve games. I know you

2566
02:28:04,080 --> 02:28:05,920
Speaker 21: kind of want to see what you have in Turner,

2567
02:28:05,959 --> 02:28:08,600
Speaker 21: but clearly wasn't. But there's no other way to do this.

2568
02:28:08,800 --> 02:28:12,960
Speaker 21: Christian Pulisich was miserable today. He was miserable on Saturday.

2569
02:28:13,280 --> 02:28:17,880
Speaker 21: He had three amazing scoring opportunities and he did not

2570
02:28:18,400 --> 02:28:21,360
Speaker 21: land on a single one. And it's really rough watching

2571
02:28:21,520 --> 02:28:24,560
Speaker 21: this United States team that has always been about high

2572
02:28:24,560 --> 02:28:28,680
Speaker 21: flying really kind of scramble and lose a lot of

2573
02:28:28,800 --> 02:28:32,240
Speaker 21: chances to score and then fall back on a defensive

2574
02:28:32,240 --> 02:28:36,119
Speaker 21: effort that was quite frankly not enough. I think that

2575
02:28:36,160 --> 02:28:37,879
Speaker 21: the leadership of this team needs a bit of a

2576
02:28:37,879 --> 02:28:39,920
Speaker 21: wake up call. I think Pouchettino needs a bit of

2577
02:28:39,920 --> 02:28:41,880
Speaker 21: a wake up call on what he is working with here.

2578
02:28:42,200 --> 02:28:45,440
Speaker 21: And there's not much time now to get all these

2579
02:28:45,520 --> 02:28:47,720
Speaker 21: ducks in a row before the World Cup is going

2580
02:28:47,760 --> 02:28:49,520
Speaker 21: to get played. We're kind of late here in the

2581
02:28:49,520 --> 02:28:51,800
Speaker 21: World of Soccer. I was going to talk about that

2582
02:28:52,080 --> 02:28:55,600
Speaker 21: finally once again. Mohammed Sala seems ready to leave Liverpool

2583
02:28:55,680 --> 02:28:57,920
Speaker 21: for real this time. And hey, I don't know if

2584
02:28:57,920 --> 02:29:01,640
Speaker 21: you've kept up with the English tay Well, but Tottenham

2585
02:29:01,680 --> 02:29:06,800
Speaker 21: Hotspur is a point above the relegation zone where West

2586
02:29:06,800 --> 02:29:09,000
Speaker 21: Ham United is in that relegation zone.

2587
02:29:09,040 --> 02:29:11,120
Speaker 5: What's up with Tottenham?

2588
02:29:11,640 --> 02:29:13,280
Speaker 21: We're gonna have to keep an eye on that with

2589
02:29:13,320 --> 02:29:16,600
Speaker 21: seven match days to go in in the Premier League.

2590
02:29:16,640 --> 02:29:18,480
Speaker 21: But we'll save that all for another time. We'll see

2591
02:29:18,520 --> 02:29:20,160
Speaker 21: you soon on the World of soccer.

2592
02:29:22,200 --> 02:29:27,119
Speaker 2: Well, so the US soccer loses to Belgium. Huh, let's

2593
02:29:27,160 --> 02:29:30,800
Speaker 2: not waffle around, No, who writes this stuff? All right?

2594
02:29:30,879 --> 02:29:33,440
Speaker 2: Look they lost five to two and a friendly. I

2595
02:29:33,440 --> 02:29:36,560
Speaker 2: guess it wasn't so friendly. Seventy four days is when

2596
02:29:36,600 --> 02:29:40,000
Speaker 2: it starts for real. And well, hope springs eternal, but

2597
02:29:40,360 --> 02:29:43,920
Speaker 2: maybe delusion doesn't spring eternal. I'm rooting for the US.

2598
02:29:43,959 --> 02:29:46,360
Speaker 2: The game are gonna be planning in our soil. Come on, man,

2599
02:29:46,640 --> 02:29:50,640
Speaker 2: one time, Man, one time. Coming up. We wrap up

2600
02:29:50,680 --> 02:29:54,280
Speaker 2: the show, and as I told you a couple hours ago,

2601
02:29:54,840 --> 02:29:57,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you why the Dodgers will repeat

2602

Speaker 2: this year. I'm Ernie Fred. We'll cover your live from

Speaker 2: all the marks the good drops. Cannot do her radio

2614
02:30:40,200 --> 02:30:44,440
Speaker 2: show without producers and these guys do a great job.

2615
02:30:45,320 --> 02:30:48,320
Speaker 2: Thanks for everything. All right, I want to talk about

2616
02:30:48,360 --> 02:30:50,560
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, and before I get to why I think

2617
02:30:50,560 --> 02:30:54,199
Speaker 2: they're going to repeat. Three p I know the world

2618
02:30:54,240 --> 02:30:56,360
Speaker 2: is up in arms and life just isn't fair, and

2619
02:30:56,400 --> 02:30:58,760
Speaker 2: they bought the pennant and all that. You're in there

2620
02:30:58,800 --> 02:31:05,720
Speaker 2: three hundred and ninety seven dollars payroll. Let's let's clear

2621
02:31:05,760 --> 02:31:08,680
Speaker 2: the air a little bit and deal in facts and

2622
02:31:08,720 --> 02:31:12,680
Speaker 2: not know a deal with objective truths, not personal feelings.

2623
02:31:13,879 --> 02:31:17,240
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have the highest payroll, I get that, but

2624
02:31:18,280 --> 02:31:21,920
Speaker 2: only once in the last twenty six years has a

2625
02:31:21,959 --> 02:31:27,240
Speaker 2: team with the highest payroll won the World Series. Well,

2626
02:31:27,280 --> 02:31:30,800
Speaker 2: actually twice. The Yankees did it in two thousand and

2627
02:31:30,879 --> 02:31:36,920
Speaker 2: the Dodgers did it last season. So that doesn't guarantee anything.

2628
02:31:37,080 --> 02:31:41,400
Speaker 2: I've talked about this before. A high payroll guarantees you

2629
02:31:41,480 --> 02:31:44,520
Speaker 2: typically a good gait during the regular season, but nothing

2630
02:31:44,520 --> 02:31:47,560
Speaker 2: in the postseason. Matter of fact, the top five payrolls

2631
02:31:48,280 --> 02:31:51,360
Speaker 2: go back thirty one years, and the top five payrolls

2632
02:31:51,879 --> 02:31:55,680
Speaker 2: sixteen of them did not with win the World Series.

2633
02:31:55,840 --> 02:32:00,560
Speaker 2: This is top five payrolls. How about top ten payrolls

2634
02:32:00,680 --> 02:32:06,240
Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety eight. Yes, yes, there were twenty times

2635
02:32:06,480 --> 02:32:10,039
Speaker 2: where a top ten payroll won the World Series, eight

2636
02:32:10,160 --> 02:32:14,280
Speaker 2: times where it didn't. Now, there's also been some low

2637
02:32:14,320 --> 02:32:17,880
Speaker 2: budget exceptions about the two thousand and three Marlins. They

2638
02:32:17,879 --> 02:32:21,000
Speaker 2: had the twenty fifth largest payroll Jim Leland. They won

2639
02:32:21,040 --> 02:32:25,320
Speaker 2: the World Series, the twenty fifteen Royals, the twenty seventeen Astros.

2640
02:32:25,640 --> 02:32:29,879
Speaker 2: All these teams were in the bottom half of the payroll. Okay,

2641
02:32:30,120 --> 02:32:33,600
Speaker 2: the average payroll ranking for a World Series champion in

2642
02:32:33,640 --> 02:32:36,400
Speaker 2: the last twenty six years is about eight. So the

2643
02:32:36,480 --> 02:32:41,720
Speaker 2: number one spender doesn't always win. So I know the

2644
02:32:41,720 --> 02:32:45,160
Speaker 2: world people are people's heads are exploding. And if the

2645
02:32:45,160 --> 02:32:47,440
Speaker 2: Dodgers win it again, there's gonna be a walkout. They're

2646
02:32:47,440 --> 02:32:49,840
Speaker 2: gonna shut down the game three years or a lot. Okay,

2647
02:32:50,040 --> 02:32:53,480
Speaker 2: that's everybody, calm down, But I said it. I believe

2648
02:32:53,520 --> 02:32:56,400
Speaker 2: the Dodgers will threepeat. Hell, they won the World Series

2649
02:32:56,520 --> 02:32:59,160
Speaker 2: last year and they had a bullpen with an ERA

2650
02:32:59,280 --> 02:33:02,120
Speaker 2: of four point two, and yes they did it. So

2651
02:33:02,200 --> 02:33:04,680
Speaker 2: what do they do. They go out and get Edwin Diaz.

2652
02:33:05,360 --> 02:33:07,920
Speaker 2: They shore up their bullpen and they're bringing Kyle Tucker.

2653
02:33:08,800 --> 02:33:12,520
Speaker 2: But moreover, the Dodgers just know how to win. They'll

2654
02:33:12,520 --> 02:33:14,520
Speaker 2: take the extra base, they'll get a ground ball to

2655
02:33:14,560 --> 02:33:17,000
Speaker 2: the right side. They don't beat themselves, and when the

2656
02:33:17,040 --> 02:33:20,120
Speaker 2: situation demands greatness, they're great. Look at the gate the

2657
02:33:20,200 --> 02:33:23,440
Speaker 2: catch Andy Pot has made running about one hundred yards

2658
02:33:23,440 --> 02:33:25,840
Speaker 2: into left field. That I'm telling you. When they ball

2659
02:33:25,920 --> 02:33:27,560
Speaker 2: left the bat, I thought the World Series is over

2660
02:33:27,600 --> 02:33:30,039
Speaker 2: and Toronto had won it for the first time since

2661
02:33:30,120 --> 02:33:35,640
Speaker 2: ninety three. No, every single high leverage situation in that

2662
02:33:35,680 --> 02:33:38,840
Speaker 2: World Series, when it mattered, most went to the Dodgers,

2663
02:33:39,520 --> 02:33:44,280
Speaker 2: extra inning games, Sasaki coming out of the bullpen. The

2664
02:33:44,360 --> 02:33:46,440
Speaker 2: Dodgers have not only won two in a row. They've

2665
02:33:46,480 --> 02:33:49,880
Speaker 2: got the DNA, They've got the culture, they got a

2666
02:33:49,959 --> 02:33:52,000
Speaker 2: star studded lineup, which I'm going to get to in

2667
02:33:52,040 --> 02:33:57,560
Speaker 2: a minute. And you know what else they have. They

2668
02:33:57,640 --> 02:34:02,480
Speaker 2: have they can win games on repeid. Now, Casey Stengele

2669
02:34:02,560 --> 02:34:05,920
Speaker 2: said it best. Back in the fifties, the Yankees had

2670
02:34:05,920 --> 02:34:08,440
Speaker 2: a twelve year stretch for they won nine World Series

2671
02:34:09,240 --> 02:34:14,280
Speaker 2: and somebody asked Casey Stengele how why. He says, It's simple.

2672
02:34:14,760 --> 02:34:17,560
Speaker 2: People can't beat the Yankees because they get stuck staring

2673
02:34:17,760 --> 02:34:25,120
Speaker 2: at the pen stripes. True. Now, again, I reiterate, in

2674
02:34:25,160 --> 02:34:28,920
Speaker 2: the last twenty five years, only a couple, only two

2675
02:34:28,920 --> 02:34:33,400
Speaker 2: teams twenty six years won the World Series with the

2676
02:34:33,480 --> 02:34:40,360
Speaker 2: highest opening day payroll. All right, top spending doesn't guarantee

2677
02:34:40,400 --> 02:34:46,200
Speaker 2: you much, as I just pointed out. Now let's talk

2678
02:34:46,240 --> 02:34:49,440
Speaker 2: about the Dodgers. Why do I think they're gonna win

2679
02:34:49,920 --> 02:34:53,200
Speaker 2: showy time? They really didn't pitch last year. He's still

2680
02:34:53,240 --> 02:34:56,160
Speaker 2: the star in LA. He's still a force of nature.

2681
02:34:58,160 --> 02:35:00,560
Speaker 2: They eased him back in. He made four team regular

2682
02:35:00,600 --> 02:35:04,280
Speaker 2: season starts last year. It kept him fresh. He won

2683
02:35:04,320 --> 02:35:08,640
Speaker 2: the NLCSMVP, hit two eighty two and fifty five home runs.

2684
02:35:08,959 --> 02:35:11,680
Speaker 2: This year, I am told he is locked down and

2685
02:35:11,760 --> 02:35:15,000
Speaker 2: wants to win a cy young. I would not bet

2686
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:18,440
Speaker 2: against this guy. As long as Otani is healthy and

2687
02:35:18,480 --> 02:35:21,640
Speaker 2: you hand in the ball every fifth days, fifth day,

2688
02:35:21,920 --> 02:35:24,000
Speaker 2: this is going to be a problem. But it's not

2689
02:35:24,320 --> 02:35:30,280
Speaker 2: just Otani. The entire rotation is elite. To start out

2690
02:35:30,280 --> 02:35:34,640
Speaker 2: with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, your World Series MVP twelve and eight

2691
02:35:34,680 --> 02:35:36,200
Speaker 2: with a two point four nine the IRA in the

2692
02:35:36,240 --> 02:35:38,600
Speaker 2: regular season. Then in the postseason he was five to

2693
02:35:38,600 --> 02:35:41,240
Speaker 2: one with a one point foury IRA in five starts

2694
02:35:41,240 --> 02:35:45,879
Speaker 2: and one legendary epic relief performance. When the Dodgers needed him,

2695
02:35:45,959 --> 02:35:50,160
Speaker 2: he delivered. These are proven quantities. Yes, the defense helped

2696
02:35:50,240 --> 02:35:53,360
Speaker 2: a lot, but the Dodgers survived because their lead pitching. Oh,

2697
02:35:53,400 --> 02:35:56,879
Speaker 2: by the way, not just Otani Yamamoto. They bring back

2698
02:35:56,959 --> 02:36:03,080
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass, now Roki Sasaki and Blake Snell. That's an

2699
02:36:03,080 --> 02:36:06,320
Speaker 2: elite rotation. And now you get Edwin Diaz coming out

2700
02:36:06,360 --> 02:36:11,160
Speaker 2: of the bullpen. The Dodgers already had one of the

2701
02:36:11,160 --> 02:36:14,640
Speaker 2: best offenses. Then they go out and get stronger. They

2702
02:36:14,680 --> 02:36:19,200
Speaker 2: signed Kyle Tucker to a monster contract and already it's

2703
02:36:19,200 --> 02:36:23,560
Speaker 2: paying dividends. He stole a home run I think it

2704
02:36:23,640 --> 02:36:26,160
Speaker 2: was Saturday night's game, reached over the right field fence.

2705
02:36:26,840 --> 02:36:29,320
Speaker 2: So you add more power to the lineup. You had

2706
02:36:29,360 --> 02:36:32,440
Speaker 2: even more consistency. This is the lineup that already had

2707
02:36:33,360 --> 02:36:37,680
Speaker 2: in this order, Shohel Tiny leading on Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts,

2708
02:36:37,680 --> 02:36:41,640
Speaker 2: Will Smith, tay Oscar Hernandez who also became a big

2709
02:36:41,680 --> 02:36:46,480
Speaker 2: game player, and now you had Kyle Tucker. The Dodgers

2710
02:36:46,520 --> 02:36:50,480
Speaker 2: got plenty of mashers to go along with their pitching

2711
02:36:50,560 --> 02:36:54,440
Speaker 2: and their defense and frustrating pitchers. See when you have

2712
02:36:54,560 --> 02:36:59,160
Speaker 2: that kind of balance that keeps things, you know, above board,

2713
02:36:59,400 --> 02:37:02,480
Speaker 2: on those nights well win. Maybe the pitching isn't at

2714
02:37:02,560 --> 02:37:07,440
Speaker 2: its best. And just when it seemed like the Dodgers

2715
02:37:07,440 --> 02:37:11,199
Speaker 2: could be beat and Toronto could beat them, the Dodgers

2716
02:37:12,040 --> 02:37:15,400
Speaker 2: they turned the right dial, give it up to Dave Roberts.

2717
02:37:15,440 --> 02:37:19,240
Speaker 2: Baseball is a game played sometimes an intuition. Miguel Rojas

2718
02:37:19,280 --> 02:37:24,280
Speaker 2: slugged that home run, which was incredible. He was he

2719
02:37:24,720 --> 02:37:28,280
Speaker 2: rarely started, but when called upon and they tapped him

2720
02:37:28,680 --> 02:37:33,360
Speaker 2: on the shoulder. Yep, you saw what he did. So

2721
02:37:34,680 --> 02:37:37,720
Speaker 2: in terms of what we do here in Las Vegas, yes,

2722
02:37:37,840 --> 02:37:41,240
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers our position is the overwhelming favorite

2723
02:37:41,440 --> 02:37:44,360
Speaker 2: to win the twenty twenty six World Series, trying to

2724
02:37:44,360 --> 02:37:46,760
Speaker 2: be the first team to three peat since two thousand Yankees.

2725
02:37:46,840 --> 02:37:50,760
Speaker 2: The oaklan A's did it in the early seventies and

2726
02:37:51,320 --> 02:37:54,600
Speaker 2: they're already three and all. Now they're over under on

2727
02:37:54,720 --> 02:37:56,360
Speaker 2: winning games this year is one hundred and two and

2728
02:37:56,400 --> 02:37:59,760
Speaker 2: a half. And you know, last year the Dodgers kind

2729
02:37:59,800 --> 02:38:02,879
Speaker 2: of with their food during the season. And I remember

2730
02:38:03,200 --> 02:38:05,879
Speaker 2: with my wife at a game in May they were

2731
02:38:05,879 --> 02:38:08,680
Speaker 2: swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Were driving away. We're hearing

2732
02:38:08,760 --> 02:38:11,360
Speaker 2: sports talk radio people losing their minds, like, what do

2733
02:38:11,360 --> 02:38:14,680
Speaker 2: you your twelve games over five hundred. Then they did

2734
02:38:14,720 --> 02:38:17,560
Speaker 2: the same thing in August and panicked. And I remember

2735
02:38:17,560 --> 02:38:19,600
Speaker 2: telling Jason Stewart talking abot Buddy Doug Anders and you

2736
02:38:19,600 --> 02:38:22,600
Speaker 2: guys are gonna be fine October. Baseball is different man.

2737
02:38:22,920 --> 02:38:25,240
Speaker 2: The bat hits a little heavier, the strike zone shrink

2738
02:38:26,160 --> 02:38:31,800
Speaker 2: every pitch you know, every defensive play, every base running mechanism.

2739
02:38:32,280 --> 02:38:35,720
Speaker 2: It's magnified. And that's when the Dodgers seemingly are at

2740
02:38:35,720 --> 02:38:40,160
Speaker 2: their best. So when you look at a situation where

2741
02:38:41,080 --> 02:38:43,760
Speaker 2: they had a great team last year even though they

2742
02:38:43,760 --> 02:38:47,200
Speaker 2: had a four point twenty seven Bullpenny ra and then

2743
02:38:47,240 --> 02:38:49,560
Speaker 2: they go out and get better with Edward Diaz and

2744
02:38:49,640 --> 02:38:54,400
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker. Okay, you got Shohytani's full return last year,

2745
02:38:54,400 --> 02:38:56,800
Speaker 2: he was basically at DH. Now he's a full time

2746
02:38:56,840 --> 02:38:59,600
Speaker 2: two way player. I think he'll be a sight on contender,

2747
02:38:59,640 --> 02:39:02,080
Speaker 2: if not win it, and he'll maintain his status as

2748
02:39:02,120 --> 02:39:05,200
Speaker 2: a perennial MVP. He hit home runs, he'll steal bases.

2749
02:39:06,440 --> 02:39:10,440
Speaker 2: They've got historic lineup depth, the first team in history

2750
02:39:10,440 --> 02:39:13,640
Speaker 2: to feature three former MVPs at the top of their

2751
02:39:13,760 --> 02:39:20,279
Speaker 2: every day lineup. Otani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman. Yamamoto

2752
02:39:20,360 --> 02:39:24,480
Speaker 2: the opening day starter, Tyler Glasnow a strikeout man, Roki

2753
02:39:24,560 --> 02:39:28,840
Speaker 2: Sasaki a tremendous emerging talent with a resume, and then

2754
02:39:28,879 --> 02:39:33,160
Speaker 2: Shohi Otani returning to his pitching role with no limitations.

2755
02:39:33,480 --> 02:39:35,920
Speaker 2: Complain all you want about their three ninety seven payroll,

2756
02:39:36,200 --> 02:39:37,840
Speaker 2: but boy, they know how to spend it. You can't

2757
02:39:37,879 --> 02:39:40,200
Speaker 2: say that about a lot of the other teams. It's

2758
02:39:40,200 --> 02:39:42,000
Speaker 2: spend a lot of money. It's go do it for

2759
02:39:42,000 --> 02:39:44,080
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show. I will see you next week.

2760
02:39:44,760 --> 02:39:47,360
Speaker 2: Keep it locked up next They're great. Andy Furman on
