12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I'm told we have to keep talking. Okay,

13

Speaker 1: well we will continue to talk here. I see keep trying.

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: Ryan leaving the building right now. We'd like to alert

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: all the affiliates to keep trying. Ryan, who famously got

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: locked out of the company social media account. He's now

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: leaving the building. So our lead this hour from the

18
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: Madness of March. The madness of March. If you had

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: a repeat champion on your bracket, you're a loser. You're

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: a loser. We had our first number one seed decommissioned, excommunicated,

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: however you want to say it. From the tournament. And

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: it was the nine seed versus the one seed. And

23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: Alvaro fulgaris fooling the Gators, says the Iowa Hawkey. Alvaro

24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: fulgaris nailing a wide open three point shot with less

25
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: than five second. You see this, That's that's how I

26
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: shoot the ball. Moneyball mallard. And he knocked that thing

27
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: down and number nine Iowa. Here come the Hawkeyes. The

28
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: Iowa Hawkeys have eliminated the reigning national champions, the Florida

29
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Gators are out. The top seed in the Gators go

30
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: home by one point loss. And so there you go,

31
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: the Iowa Hawkeys with some guy named Ben. We need

32
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: more people named Ben in sports. Ben McCollum the head coach.

33
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: They reached the sweet sixteen for the first time since

34
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen in Florida. They do the walk of shame

35
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: as they do not even make it to the second

36
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: weekend of the NCAA tournament as they are out. That

37
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Better story is in

38
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: the losing locker room. We had all chalky mcchalk last year.

39
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: We will not have the same level of chalk this year.

40
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: In the final four when we get to that particular point.

41
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: But the question you have a team like Florida loaded stacked,

42
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: a couple of NBA players in there, all of that,

43
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: and so the question who gets the blame? Who gets

44
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: the blame for Todd Golden's Florida Gators being the first

45
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: top seed knocked out of the two six edition of

46
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: March Madness. So my thoughts on this, I've got Roto Ruder, Juice, Cleanse,

47
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: and Bond Villain, and we will combine all of these

48
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make some Fetichini

49
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: Alfredo is what we're going to make. So my first

50
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: thought on this is, you play the blame game. And

51
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: I love playing the blame game. Man, is that just

52
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: perfect for what we do here? To play the blame game.

53
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: It's so good. And this game I was watching, I

54
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: happened to saw the little score bug thing at the

55
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: top and it said, well, this game is close. The

56
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: game I was watching was not close. So I said,

57
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: I'll flip over there, and I turned it on. I

58
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: was watching the game, doing my thing there. And as

59
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: far as the blame, there's no need to tiptoe. If

60
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: you look at the mirror, it's the man in the

61
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: mirror and that would be Todd Golden, the coach of

62
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: the Florida Gators. Here. This is not a well coached

63
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: team down the stretch. Now, they didn't execute the players, ultimately,

64
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: the ones on the court. The coach though, did not

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: either get them ready or allowed them to not be prepared.

66
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: As the top seed, they're playing pretty much a home game.

67
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: I know, it's one hundred miles plus or one hundred

68
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: and thirty miles from Gainesville to Tampa. I get that,

69
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: but you're playing a number nine seed. And if I'm

70
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: not mistaken, the Iowahaw guys are a middle of the

71
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: road big ten team. Am I correct on that? Is

72
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: that a correct analysis that Iowa is a middle There

73
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: you are? And oh, by the way, Florida, if you're

74
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: into the gambling market, which we kind of are into that,

75
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: the Florida Gators were a ten and a half point favorite,

76
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: so they were a double digit favorite. They did not

77
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: only not cover the spread, they lost the game outright.

78
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: They gagged, sucked at a time you cannot suck. And

79
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: it was a lot of coaching malpractice the way this

80
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: game ended here. And it wasn't bad luck, it was

81
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: just it was a hot mess for the Gators in

82
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: this one, and they climbed out of it. I think

83
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: they were down by I think it was like ten

84
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: or twelve or something like that, and they took the

85
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: lead late in the game. So the Gators had the

86
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: lead over the Hotkeys late in the game, and they

87
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: turned into a it's like a hurricane prep kit, you know.

88
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: You buy those kits and they have everything you need

89
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: for the hurricane, except they didn't have the batteries. Well,

90
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: what good is that you need the batteries. Well, I

91
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: didn't have any batteries. Why didn't they have batteries. Well

92
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: that's somebody didn't plan, right, I'm gonna blame the coach.

93
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: They didn't have the batteries, and so all that stuff

94
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: that needed batteries, they didn't have any, and they needed

95
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: it in crunch time. And yeah, that didn't happen. That

96
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: did not happen. There, bad late game execution, bad coaching,

97
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: failing to force Iowa to beat them one on one.

98
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: They played the zone half court defense, and they did

99
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: not clamp down on Iowa and it was wide open. Now,

100
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: you still got to make it. The kid made it

101
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: for Iowa. Good job by him. I'll voral fool Garrison

102
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: another transfer. He's not been a long time. I think

103
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: he played somewhere else last year. I forget where someone

104
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: want some school got a check and came and and

105
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: then that was that. So it was just bad all

106
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: the way around. The defense at the end was not good.

107
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: And then that last shot, Oh my god, holy Canoley,

108
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: what that was that? So Florida four and a half seconds.

109
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: They went to the review to figure out how much

110
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: time said four and a half seconds, all right, So

111
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: Florida had plenty of time to come down and get

112
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: a decent shot and they could be the hero, they

113
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 1: could be the stars of the show and all that stuff.

114
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: And so the defense was a mistake. And here's the pressure,

115
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: right and the old line. Pressure can either burst the

116
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: pipe or pressure can make a beautiful diamond. With the

117
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: Florida Gators in this particular game, they needed to call

118
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: rot O Router, that's the name. Because pipes burst and

119
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: there was water everywhere. There was no excuses. They did

120
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: not even get a shot. They did not It's like

121
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: going to cheesecake factory and ordering a meal and just

122
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: sniffing it. You couldn't even get a shot. What is that?

123
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: You got to at least get a shot up, at

124
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: least have a chance. It just the dribbled the ball

125
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: and turned it over. I don't even know count it

126
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: as a turnover. And it goes the way of the

127
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: Iowah Hawkeyes there, so they get to win. Now, Todd

128
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Goldens Gators. Again, they were just incompetent at the end.

129
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: This shouldn't have been in that situation anyway, but they were.

130
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: And most of these games in the tournament are unless

131
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: you're really terrible, are close or Kentucky who's got blown

132
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: out in their game. Meanwhile, how about the Jayhawks buzzer

133
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: beater here, the top player for the Kansas Jayhawks decided

134
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: he didn't want to play any defense. He was protecting

135
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: himself for the NBA lottery. Why would he go out

136
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: there and try to stop someone? Please? So anyway, Bill self,

137
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: that could be it? That's all she wrote for Bill self?

138
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: Or is it? Bill self? The Kansas longtime Kansas coach

139
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: says he has not decided whether or not he will

140
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: continue as the coach in Lawrence, Kansas, or if it's

141
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: it and that's all the season ending, Saint John's winning

142
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: on their own buzzer beating layup Dylan Darling. Now that's

143
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: a good name, that's a solid name. Dylan Darling with

144
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: the layup thanks to the Oley defense by the Kansas Jayhawks,

145
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: their top player who will be drafted by Utah, Sacramento,

146
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: the Wizards, some god awful NBA franchise, and that'll be that.

147
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: So Darling had the layup. Rick Pattino moves on to

148
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: the next round. And as for the topic at hand,

149
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: we're talking about Bill Selfier and his commentary. The sixty

150
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: three year old Bill soelf who won two national championships

151
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: and has built a consistently good team with the Jayhawks,

152
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: although this was obviously not not one of the greats.

153
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: They lose on the buzzer beater there. Late, he's also

154
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: had a lot of minor health stuff, some of it

155
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: has turned into major hell stuff Bill self the last

156
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: couple of years just from AFAR, and he's missed several

157
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: games with medical issues and other health concerns. And so

158
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: sixty three, he say, well, he can coach several more years.

159
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: You don't have to step away at sixty three. But

160
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: he's the difference is he said some issue. So the

161
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: question Kansas coach Bill self says he has not decided.

162
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: He's an undecided voter, undecided voter whether or not he

163
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: will continue his Hall of Fame coaching career. What is

164
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: your read on this one? What is your read on

165
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: this one? So on this one, we all know what

166
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: this is. We are aware of what this is. Even

167
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: in the back of the room off to the far side,

168
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: I think we know what this is here. So this

169
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: is a very long goodbye. I like the Irish goodbye

170
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: just just feels like a long goodbye without actually saying goodbye.

171
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: He didn't say bye bye. He didn't say that Bill self.

172
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: Bill Self is saying, I haven't decided. I'm undecided. Uh,

173
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: that is coach speak. I use the mallor Rosetta stone.

174
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: It is coach speak for I've already packed the suitcase.

175
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: I just haven't called the uber to come pick me

176
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: up and take me where I need to go to

177
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: a soft launch towards leaving Kansas and doing television or

178
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: just retiring. And it's like when you when you say

179
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: it's one of these things that like when you say, hey,

180
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about doing that juice cleanse Okay, sure you've

181
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: already bought the blender and you've bought a bunch of fruit.

182
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: You're you're already down that road. You're gonna do the

183
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: juice cleans. And so Bill self he's at that point

184
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: where it's like, I'm thinking about it because you if

185
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna stay, you don't even pretend like you're not

186
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna stay, because that'll be used against you. That'll be

187
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: weaponized in the NIL game. Of course, now it's all

188
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: about how much money these guys get in NIL, but

189
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: it would be using against you. Well, you can't go

190
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: play for Kansas. Bill self's gonna he's gonna that away

191
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: and retire. But he didn't say that. Well, he kind

192
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: of hinted at it. So he's had hard issues. He

193
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: had a I think it was a couple of years ago.

194
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: He had some some stints put in that doesn't seem

195
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: like that's good. I don't know, And there you go

196
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: and just the NIL. So all these old guard coaches

197
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: having to deal with the NIL world. It's it's kind

198
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: of like when the automobile came along and you're like,

199
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: I want my horse and buggy. I like my horse

200
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: and buggy. We know we got these cars. Well, no,

201
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: the car. I don't like the car, I like my

202
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: I like my horse and buggy, that kind of thing.

203
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: So in the NIL is so ridiculous. It's out, I'm

204
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: all four players getting some money. This is what they've

205
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: done here is oh my god. The NIL thing, it's

206
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency run by teenagers. Is essentially what's going on here

207
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: in college basketball. And it's not what Bill self had

208
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: done all these years to build up the legend of

209
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: Bill Self. It's an open air flea market. Every six months,

210
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: You're like, all right, I'm a free agent and he's

211
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: made so much money, a crazy few money Bill self.

212
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: I tried to look it up exactly, and I think

213
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm close. He's He's not eating Ramen noodles with Marcel

214
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn, He's not. He's got oligart cash, eighty million

215
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: plus in career earnings just at Kansas, just to Kansas.

216
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: So you think he wants to continue this. He's got

217
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: some health issues there. Every six months you got to

218
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: re recruit your roster and say no, no, we love you,

219
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: we love you. And so I don't think it's indecision

220
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: at all, based on reading between the words of Bill

221
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: Self and listening between what he had to say and

222
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's just the sport that he mastered,

223
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: that he was a maestro at, is no longer the

224
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: sport that it is. It's not like I'm I'm pretty

225
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: sure that most of these successful programs, if not one

226
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: hundred percent, were cutting envelopes with cash to the top players.

227
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: Now everyone's getting paid them, so good time to exit now. Meanwhile,

228
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: the big picture, So one of the other storylines over

229
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: the week, and I was paying attention days away from

230
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: the watchtow, I was doing the podcast, the Fifth Hour podcast,

231
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: which is available by the way, and so a number

232
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: of people were freaking out because of the lack of

233
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: wins between seeds ten and sixteen in the men's basketball tournament.

234
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: In fact, in the first round. I know, we're into

235
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: the sweet sixteen now, but in the first round of

236
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: games Thursday and Friday, there were three teams out of

237
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: three of the twenty eight possible games, three of them

238
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: ended with the team that was the lower seed advancing

239
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: three first round wins out of twenty eight games. That's

240
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: not great. The average loss margin was thirteen points per

241
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: game for the higher seed meeting like the ten through

242
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: sixteen seed. Okay, fine, Now, historically, let's go back on

243
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: the hot top time machine nineteen eighty five, he had

244
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan hanging out there all the way to twenty twenty.

245
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: And in that period of time, it's a long time.

246
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: So a couple of generations, seeds average the average seed

247
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: roughly six to eight first round victories annually. So three now,

248
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: so that's less than half of the eight, and it's

249
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: half of the six. And the margin of defeat was

250
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: six to seven points, now it's thirteen points, and so

251
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: people freaking out. So the question is it true? Is

252
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: it true that Nil really did kill Cinderella in March madness?

253
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: So I give this side eye and here's let me

254
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: tell you why I give this side. Every March we

255
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: do this same dance last year. Oh my god, all

256
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: the number one seed. It's so bad, old booooo freaking

257
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: out right. We gather around the campfire and we roast

258
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: marshmallows and we complain, I miss Cindarrella. I want to

259
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: have the big ups. Everyone is blaming Nil like it's

260
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: the Bond villain stroking a cat. Okay, I would say,

261
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: you're not. And I don't love Nil the way it's

262
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: it's played out. I'd like again, I think the player

263
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: should get paid and have to pay taxes like the

264
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: rest of us, but unless than in Mississippi because there's

265
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: nothing else going on. And so that's it. But the

266
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: issue here with the nil stuff, I only use so

267
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: much mad at nil. The illusion is gone. I think

268
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people love the illusion. That bull crap

269
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: about student athlete. My dad long gone now. But my

270
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: dad went to school at UCLA, and he went to

271
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: school when lu Al Cinder was playing for the UCLA Bruins.

272
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: My dad never saw him in class, even though he

273
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: had a class with Luel Cinder, because he never showed

274
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: up the class. Why would you?

275
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: And so.

276
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: But it's always kind of been like that. But you

277
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: like the marketing campaign student athlete. You were into it,

278
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: you really enjoyed it. That illusion is gone now. It's

279
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: no longer the perception of the small school, which is

280
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: like the neighborhood bake sale or the lemonade stand. And

281
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: then on the other side you've got this conglomerate, this

282
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: Wall Street group. Now it's more like Nasdaq versus the

283
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: New York Stock Exchange. It's pretty much the same. There's

284
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: just a few minor differences, and that's it. And the

285
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: amount of money is unreal. How much money has been

286
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: paid here the endorsement deals. It is estimated that players

287
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: you know how much they got paid in college basketball.

288
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: As you want to take a guess, you gotta get

289
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: a number in your head. The just college basketball nil

290
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: has paid endorsement deals totally nine hundred and thirty two

291
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: million in checks the players and all that in twenty

292
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six. Yeah, and everyone's out everyone's outrage

293
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: because this whole Disney movie thing has been replaced by

294
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: a spreadstreet. Oh no, this is not right now. If

295
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: my math is correct, I looked at my bracket, I

296
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: think we have one double digit seed, the Texas Longhorns,

297
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: the number eleven seed into the sweet sixteen. I believe

298
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: that's it. And they're not even like you think of

299
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: a number eleven. You think of some directional school somewhere, right.

300
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: You know, you don't think of Texas and Austin. I

301
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: know it's not a basketball school, but you don't think

302
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: of the Longhorns of Texas as a Cinderella type team.

303
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: And the slipper doesn't fit. If the slipper doesn't flit,

304
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't fit. You must have quit. So anyway. There's

305
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: my theory is that upsets are supposed to be rare.

306
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: They are going to be more rare for the foreseeable future.

307
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: But that's not a bad thing, right If everyone is

308
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: Cinderella and you had all these upsets, it actually hurts

309
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: the product because less people watch when their brackets destroyed. Now,

310
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: it should be easier. Just pick all chalk and you'll

311
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: do pretty good. You're not going to do that bad

312
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: if you just take all chalk and you have a couple,

313
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: you need a couple of glass, slipper of molments. Just

314
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: kind of scratch that itch, a couple of moments to

315
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: scratch that itch and kind of wet the appetite. And

316
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: not a gaggle of them, not of them, And that's fine.

317
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: Could there have been more? Sure, there could have been more.

318
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: We're okay.

331
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: He's still moving. All right, We are back at it

332
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: this hour and our lead story, our lead story this

333
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: hour coming to you from the world of the NFL,

334
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: well indirectly, the NFL really a flag football game. So

335
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: we go to Bradyvillea which was in La La Land,

336
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: saw any of the inaugural Fanatics Flag Football Classic that

337
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: took place over the weekend. Tom Brady after that event,

338
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: we were told, had a pow wow with the media.

339
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: Brady was asked mostly about flag football. We'll talk more

340
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: about that later, but he was also asked about his

341
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: college buddy, John Spytek, who he put in there as

342
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: a sock puppet to follow his instructions, handpicked as the

343
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: Raiders general manager. And he was also asked if he

344
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: had any reaction to the saw wing Bauta saw Wing

345
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: about a swinging a miss to Max Crosby being traded

346
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: and then not being traded. So what did Brady do

347
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: when he was Pepper? I saw this or not? Maybe not?

348
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: So tom Brady skipped over a hop, skip and a

349
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: jump over the mac crosby trade question and the fact

350
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: that he's now back with the Raiders after being traded

351
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: to the Ravens. So that is a good jumping off

352
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: point the non answer from Tom Brady. So let us

353
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: discuss the question why why did Tom Brady avoid answering

354
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: a rather basic question about Max Crosby. So I've got

355
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: the mighty Mississippi River grenade and overweight middle aged guys,

356
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and

357
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: we are going to play ABC and one two three.

358
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: But we always when you play ABC one two three,

359
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: you always got to start out with number one number,

360
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: number one number. So Tom Brady what he did is

361
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: he went down to Panera break. He went down to Panera,

362
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: and he decided, I do not want the broccoli cheddar.

363
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: I do not want that. I would like the alphabet soup.

364
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: And that's what he got, and just labeling out vowels

365
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: and consonants and nothing of substance, nothing of substance, there

366
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: from Tom Brady at all. And he had aside side dish,

367
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: side salad, no dressing, no dressing, and no protein. Classic

368
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: Tom Bray, Classic Tom Brady. So now essentially what Brady

369
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: did here is he read the defense, He looked out

370
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: and he called audible audible Omaha, omaha, call an audible line.

371
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna defend Brady on this one. The problem

372
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: with this was the dingle Berry reporter and I don't

373
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: know who asked the question. It was a two part question.

374
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: Bad job by them. You don't ask a two park question.

375
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: What are you doing? You don't ask a two part question.

376
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: You shouldn't. Shame on you, Right, you gave Tom Brady

377
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: by asking a two part question. You gave Tom Brady

378
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: an escape patch the size of the mighty Mississippi River.

379
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: And he just jumped in there and said, oh okay,

380
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 1: I'm good, and I ask ask a clean, crisp, sharp

381
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: question and make it as quick as possible so the

382
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: person you're asking the question in this case, Tom Brady

383
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: does not have time to cook up an answer. Instead,

384
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: Brady's like, oh, this is great, all right. You asked

385
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: me two questions. It's not a two for one special.

386
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do some stand up comedy and I'm

387
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: gonna do a impersonation of Fluffy the comedian. That's what

388
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. And the Star Trek, in honor of

389
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: spats with Shats, the Star Trek deflector shields have been activated,

390
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: and Brady just ignored it. Question denied, Question denied by

391
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: Tom Brady now and Brady knows he knows not to

392
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: answer that question because this is a bad look for Brady,

393
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing for the Raiders. Max Crosby and his return

394
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: to the Raiders. Is the Komodo dragon in the room

395
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: is what it is. It's a dangerous topic of conversation.

396
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: It's unpredictable. What's gonna happen with Crosby going forward. Nobody

397
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: really wants to deal with it. They're all trying to say, oh,

398
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: everything's great, this worked out for the best, which means

399
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: as good as all the rest. But it is dysfunction junction.

400
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: What's your function is what it is? As classic Raders,

401
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: So Brady philibustered because the reporter gave him a chance

402
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: to philibuster and he took advantage of it. All right, Now,

403
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: turn the page from football. We go to Old Guy Radio,

404
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: the Old Guy Radio debate. I saw these comments, I thought,

405
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: now this is worthy of a couple of minutes of airtime.

406
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neill, the Shack Daddy, Shaquille O'Neal, let the world

407
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 1: know who is the top dog in NBA history. Is

408
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: it A Lebron James, b Kobe Bryant, his former teammate,

409
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: or C Michael Jordan who is the top I think

410
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: Shack played with Lebron also in Cleveland. I think I

411
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: believe they were there together for like a minute. Not

412
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: that Shaq was any good at that point, but I'm

413
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: pretty sure they played together anyway. So that was the

414
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: multiple choice question. Well, the reason I'm bringing this up

415
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: is Shaquille O'Neill did not did not say, hey, Kobe Bryant.

416
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: He didn't say Lebron James. He said, you picked Michael Jordan.

417
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: Ding ding, ding ding ding. You got that one right, Yeah,

418
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neal, let me know he thinks Michael Jordan is

419
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: the greatest player to ever grace the NBA court over

420
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: Kobe and Lebron James. So the question Shaquille O'Neill picking

421
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: air Jordan over Kobe and Lebron. Is this blasphemy or

422
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: is it accuracy? That is the question. Is it blasphemy

423
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: or is it accuracy? So Shaq here said I'm in

424
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 1: the army, and he took a grenade. It was a

425
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: truth grenade, and he loved that thing. He loved the

426
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: truth grenade in the air everywhere, and that's what he did.

427
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: Shocking it. Actually it actually detonated where it was supposed

428
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: to go. Good job by him. No, buddy, buddy, nostalgia,

429
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: you know the code and the purple and gold royalty

430
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: and the loyalty oath and all that. No, no, no, Shack.

431
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: Shack's like I started with Orlando, I played with every

432
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: I think I finished with the Phoenix Suns or the

433
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: Celtics or somebody like that. I played with everybody. But

434
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: Jordan is the right answer. And so Shack got it right.

435
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: He picked Michael Jordan. That's correct. End of sermon. That's all.

436
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: Although we have to keep going. So Jordan did not

437
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: just move the needle a little bit. He snapped it.

438
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: He melted that needle down and sold it back at

439
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: a marked up price with a Swoosh logo on it.

440
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: He took the runway and oh man, the runway that

441
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: was built by Magic and Bird. Remember that that was

442
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: the beginning of the modern NBA was Bird and Magic

443
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: in the late sies, in the early eighties. And then

444
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: they took the league and got it to a certain place.

445
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: And then Jordan launched the league into orbit and global icon,

446
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: the killer instinct. He was six for six in the

447
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: NBA finals. No game seven's in the finals, no footnotes,

448
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: none of that stuff, no fine print for Michael Jordan.

449
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: That's it and brilliant, the gold standard. And and then

450
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: like Kobe, Kobe knew it if you of course that

451
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: around him where we were asked Kobe, he was Jordan.

452
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: Jordan was was better. He studied Jordan like he was

453
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: studying as a bruder film where Kyler Murray would be

454
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: studying video games. Similar thing. And then you got Lebron

455
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: Lebron who like is the spreadsheet goat longevity King, Lebron

456
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: James didn't get suspended and have to go to Birmingham

457
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: to play minor league baseball in the middle of his career.

458
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: The compiler in chief, Lebron James games, Who's built like

459
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: a mack truck, built like a tank, and he's been

460
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: marketed like a conglomerate. It just didn't hit the same

461
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: though as Michael Jordan, who was the king of marketing.

462
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: Yet Lebron marketing doesn't quite hit the same. Jordan dominated,

463
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: absolutely dominated, and Lebron has not been able. Even though

464
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: he's won a bunch of championships, been to the finals

465
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: a bunch, there's a lot of losses there. You know,

466
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: signature moment Lebron one year he was injured because of

467
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: the air conditioning not working properly in San Antonio. That's

468
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: one of my favorite Lebron moments. But anyway, listen, it

469
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: has not stayed in the same stratosphere as if you

470
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: say the baton was passed from Jordan and then Kobe

471
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: took it, and then Kobe passed it to Lebron. And

472
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: even though they were playing side by side for a while, fine,

473
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: but Jordan was way ahead of everyone else and Lebron

474
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: is not not the same. Now, speaking of that, the

475
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: final point here, I wanted to bring this up. Several

476
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: of you sent this to me over the weekend. I

477
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: say several, Oh that's enough for me. So two people

478
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: send me this story. A recent spurs Hornets Game, which

479
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: was on Amazon Prime. The TV ratings they averaged four

480
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five thousand viewers on Amazon Prime. They

481
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: lost to the bass Master Classic Fishing Tournament on Fox.

482
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: There were more people that were looking for sports content

483
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: that decided to watch the bass Master rather than an

484
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: NBA game. And where this has created quite the hulla

485
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: balloo was Oh my god, I questioned, so again recent

486
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: Spurs Hornets game was beaten in the TV ratings by

487
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: the bass Master Classic on Fox. Where does this take

488
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: your mind? So it's just outstanding on every the NBA.

489
00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: The NBA got outfished, literally outfished. You can't make it up.

490
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: And this was a game where Wemby played. It wasn't

491
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: a load management game. Wemby played the alien, the extraterrestrial,

492
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: the face of the future of the NBA, the seven

493
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: foot something something cheat code. He lost a TV battle

494
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: victor wemban Yama to a guy on a dinghy and

495
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: another guy on a dinghy and the bunch of overweight,

496
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: middle aged guys. Fishing is seen as more entertaining than

497
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: Wemby in an NBA game. What wholl that is? A

498
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: body bag? Body bag situation? Forget it, my gout that

499
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: that's not just alarming. We're talking about the bass Master classes,

500
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: which I know is a big deal. I get it.

501
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: Come on, come on. It's a Sunday morning coffee and

502
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: pajama type situation, is what it is. And those a

503
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: lot of fishing and bowling things. I just assume they're

504
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: all taped like live. This was live, and man, that

505
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: is not a blippity blip. That is a flare gun

506
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: for the NBA. And this did not happen overnight. You

507
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: have not lost the bass Master. This did not happen overnight.

508
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: This is years and years of handcrafted malfeasans by half man,

509
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: half alien, Adam Silver. It became the NBA a load

510
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: management lounge, just what it became. And the defenders of

511
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: the NBA said, well, they got their TV money, they

512
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: got their Okay, you think the people at Amazon are

513
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: happy they paid all that money to lose out to

514
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: a guy fishing. At some point this comes back and

515
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: kicks you in the nuts. At some point this comes

516
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: back in kicks you in the nuts. And this is

517
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: all under the guys of Adam Silver again, the load

518
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: management stuff and all that the stars treating games like

519
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: optional workouts, and as a result, you do that long enough,

520
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: and sure enough, many many fans treat the regular season

521
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: like a soggy French fry at the bottom of the bag.

522
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: Not a priority, you know. Sometimes you get those extra fries,

523
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, this is great, and then no,

524
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: not a priority if it's all soggy, like I don't

525
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: need that. I don't. I'm not interested in that. And

526
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: tanking is in the air everywhere. It's as it's just

527
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: so out of I don't know how to describe how

528
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: ridiculous this tanking thing is. It's like it's like going

529
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: to the open air drug market on skid row and

530
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: everyone's on fentanyl. Well everyone's like, I forget that. I

531
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: don't need fentanyl. I need tanking is what I need.

532
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: And half the league is unshamelessly just trying to lose,

533
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: and no one seems to have a problem with it.

534
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: They're just okay with it. It's just part it's good business.

535
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: They've convinced some of the customers, the morons, the dumb

536
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: people amongst us, this is the way to do it right.

537
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: You cannot sell bluefin tuna and say that we're serving

538
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: bluefin tuna and then well, no, you're actually serving the

539
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: vandy camp frozen fish sticks. Well no, you said bluefend.

540
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: Well no this is not we said that, but it's close.

541
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: It's the frozen fish sticks. Well no, I don't care

542
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: how much tartar sauce you have. That's not the same.

543
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: And Adam Silver, who is either coaching this or allowing

544
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: it to happen, as we like to say, but either

545
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: way it's under his watch. He's not done anything to

546
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: stop it. Some token nace. But magic Bird and Jordan

547
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: built this magical cathedral, this beautiful cathedral of basketball, and

548
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: now it's become this cheesy rundown graffiti filled strip mall

549
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: with flickering lights. And you paid more. These days, these

550
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: guys get paid more and they do less and they're

551
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: okay with it, and they embrace it, and people around

552
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: them they lead them down this path, the garden path,

553
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: and that this is what needs to be done, because

554
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: you'll protect yourself. And it's all the voodoo bugaloo is

555
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: what it is here. And as for Wemby, that's not

556
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: a good sign. For Victor web Banyama, that's your showcase.

557
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: And instead America tuned in on this random night said,

558
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: I'd rather watch a guy wrestle a large mouth is

559
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: what I wanted. That largemouth bath bass. I want to

560
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: see them wrestle that. And there you go to the

561
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: NBA in general, it's like a monee. Today's NBA is

562
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: like a monet. It looks pretty good from a distance,

563
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: and then you get a little closer and you're like,

564
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: that's not so good. That's not so good.

565
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: It's Mallard. How about that?

568
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one big vent gets grilled.

569
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: Okay, the flag is up and we are off to

570
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: the races, running a country mile Koopa loop with the

571
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: third degree.

572
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 4: Then, last season, the Ravens finished a disappointing eight and nine.

573
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 4: They have a new head coach, and the betting odds

574
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 4: are now out on the win total over unders, and

575
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 4: they have the best in the NFL at eleven and

576
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 4: a half.

577
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 5: The Ravens have the best of the Yes, really, okay,

578
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 5: is this is this jumps surprising Chieven? Well, it's it

579
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 5: must I haven't seen the schedule.

580
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: They they didn't make the playoff, although they almost made

581
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, so they must be playing a

582
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: rather soft schedule. The thing about the Ravens is Mark

583
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: Jackson like he's he's really dinged up last year? Is

584
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: he gonna bounce back? Derrick Henry was not not the same.

585
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't buy the Ravens. I don't. I mean, they've

586
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: had a decent offseason and all that, but no, I'm not.

587
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm not on that train. I know Trey Hendrickson's everyone's

588
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: all excited about Trey Hendrickson and all that. He's not. No,

589
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: they're not. That'd be stunned unless they're playing Tomato cans.

590
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: I gotta look at the schedule, but no, I'm gonna

591
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: go no next.

592
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 4: Ahead of Saturday's first ever Fanatics Flag Football Classic, Riveting Yeah,

593
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 4: Odell Beckham Junior said that he hoped it would be

594
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 4: a starting point for an NFL return for him. Ben

595
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 4: Do you think this will help him get back to

596
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 4: the NFL?

597
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: God no, no. But however, that said Coop. The chatter

598
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: is that for o dB or obj odp obj that

599
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: he caught the eye of some coaches, so they think

600
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: he's got a chance to be on the Olympic team

601
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight, but not in the NFL only.

602
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: That's that's gonna happen there. But good luck on that.

603
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 1: It's hard to take that seriously with who was playing

604
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: in it.

605
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 4: Next Ben, the Lakers won another game with the last

606
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 4: second shot.

607
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: They've now won nine games in a row. They're getting

608
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: hot at the right time.

609
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 4: You think they can carry this into a championship run. A, they're.
