8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Torres in La Jason, what's up, Waddy? How you doing?

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: What's happening? Well, I've been watching the Braves right now.

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: That's my squad and not faring well last couple of

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: nights against the Padres. But hey, it's gonna be a

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: long season. Other than that, we started out pretty good.

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: But this has been an interesting week. Say the least.

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: It started out like it usually does with the National

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Title game and then finishes up with the Masters. But

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: the Masters in itself has just been kind of disjointed

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: and hard to follow with all the things that are

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: going on there. So it's gonna be a fun show,

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: just with a whole lot of it kind of feels

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: like we're just gonna be pulling stuff out of a

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: giant bucket because there's so many different things going on.

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: We got NBA, we got NFL stuff, NFL Draft, maybe

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: a little bit going back to last Sunday with the

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: women's college Championship, the men's college Championship. Will get to

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: in a minute. Jason. You know it's interesting because I

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: know you're a huge golf guy, and you know, as

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: we prep today's show, I really was planning on leading

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: for you for some golf stuff. But obviously, as Desager

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: just told us there, and as you just said, there's

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: not really a ton to talk about with the Masters

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: right now. Like like I'm somebody that whether I saw

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: one of our producers here at Fox Sports Radio, Rob Garrett,

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: put out a good tweet the other day about, you

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: know a lot of people in our business duck golf,

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: duck college basketball this time of year because it's not

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: their skill set, but it's clearly what people are interested in,

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: and I just didn't know, like, like, what do we

38
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: talk about today when it comes to the Masters. Obviously

39
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: Brooks but keep Cut does have a four stroke lead

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: early in the third round, but it was rained out

41
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: most of the third round yesterday you had the tree incident,

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: so very disjointed tournament. But I didn't have one thought

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: and tell me if I'm crazy on this. So you know,

44
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different stuff that comes out this

45
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: time of year about the Masters, and I think, you know,

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: one thing about the Masters is that you know, it's

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: it's an entity unto itself, you know, Augusta National all that.

48
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: And I was reading like a really very interesting article

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: from Front Office Sports today, Jason, where they really just

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: talked about how, you know, the people who run the

51
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: Masters march to the beat of their own drummers. You know,

52
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: they control the broadcast, they control this, They control sponsorships

53
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: where you know, if a sponsor complains about something, they'll

54
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: just cut them out and not have sponsors. So I

55
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: guess for like a two or three year stretch there,

56
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: they weren't some of the sponsors weren't happy with them,

57
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: and rather than acquiescing to the sponsors, they just said,

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: you know it, we just won't have sponsors this year

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: will be commercial free for the higher tournament. And so

60
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: I bring it up because you know, today, me not

61
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: being a huge golf guy, um, you know, I was

62
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: doing stuff around the house and said, you know what,

63
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: I know they're starting early. There was the tree incident yesterday.

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: Let me go ahead and flip on the old TV

65
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: and get the Masters on, and there was no Masters.

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: And then there were still no Masters. And I've always

67
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: known Thursday Friday sometimes it takes a little while to

68
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: get to the mainstream coverage. But I figured Saturday third

69
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 1: round Masters, and it got to they were doing pre

70
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Masters broadcast on CBS Maine until literally three pm Eastern.

71
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: I hate it. I hate it. I've talked about it

72
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: last year, I talked about it. I've talked about it forever.

73
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: It's it's it's insane, Aaron, like what you're saying. It's

74
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: just the it's the one tournament that just acts like

75
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: it's above everything else. And every time that I ever

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: go in on this, there are always people that come

77
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: back at me and try to argue that it's a

78
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: good thing. There is no excuse in twenty twenty three,

79
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: what is the argument for it's a good thing. I'm

80
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: just that it's exclusive and that you know, it's like

81
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: the limited nature of it is traditional, and it's also

82
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: it makes it feel special, and it's just ridiculous. It's

83
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: a terrible argument. You're in twenty twenty three. We can

84
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: see anything and everything all the time. You see every

85
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: shot hit in virtually every golf tournament period across the

86
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: Golf channel or CBS or NBC or ABC or ESPN

87
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: or Turner or whatever it is, whoever's covering it. You

88
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: can see virtually every stroke. That's it except at Augusta.

89
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: It's like Daytona, but you can't watch it until the

90
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: last seventy five laps. It's the dumbest thing to me

91
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: in the world. I understand that they had three sponsors forever,

92
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: one of them being IBM. I can't remember what the

93
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: other two were, but I recall that it would they

94
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: would always do this ad. They would go during the

95
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: break and they would have the president of Augusta National

96
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: whoever was, whether Soudi Johnson or whoever was the time,

97
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: that would say, this is how we can give you

98
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: fifty six minutes out of every hour of golf action

99
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: the way that they do this thing. But that costs

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: you to three hours earlier in the day, where if

101
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: you're into this like me, you just can't do it. Oh,

102
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: but you can go to Masters dot com and you

103
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: can watch amen, quarter, how about I can just watch

104
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: the tournament? Like what kind of a novel concept do

105
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: we live at? Can I just watch the golf tournament?

106
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: Like this is kind of an important event, especially for

107
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: big time golf nuts like me, but it's also the

108
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: one event every year that virtually everybody that even has

109
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: a minor interest in sports would watch if you put

110
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: it on TV. It grinds my gears annually that we

111
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: still can't watch all of the biggest tournament in the world. Yeah.

112
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: So so I agree with you one hundred percent. And

113
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: it is ironic right in this world that we live

114
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: in where literally, I mean, you can watch pretty much

115
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: anything at any time, and I just find it, really

116
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: I where I was going with this is like today's

117
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: the day where I feel like it just burned him right,

118
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: Like we've been doing it this way forever, and this

119
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: is how we're gonna do it, and you're gonna either

120
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: accept it or not. But we're not changing how we

121
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: do things here at Augusta And that's their prerogative. That's whatever.

122
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: But to your point, Jason, first of all, again I

123
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: encourage people check out this Front Office Sports article. It

124
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: was really, really, really well done. I guess what, I

125
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: didn't realize. I know how popular the Masters is, and

126
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a tune in for the major's kind of

127
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: guy when it comes to golf. But I bring it

128
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: up because even by major standards, the Masters eclipses everything

129
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: at like double the rating for the US Open last year,

130
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: double the rating for the Open Championship, etc. And so

131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: I just bring it up because today felt like the

132
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: day at Burnham right, Like, like, I'm sitting So you

133
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: said you had to wait a couple hours. I mean

134
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm up at you know whatever, seven am Pacific time.

135
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: I mean I was up earlier, but I think the

136
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: coverage started at eight eastern five Pacific, So okay, it's

137
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: not on right when I get up. Okay, Then we

138
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: keep going, Then we keep going, then we keep going.

139
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: Then I take the dog out, then I do something,

140
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: and you know, you think by noon eastern one o'clock

141
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: one third, it's like, get me some golf. Like I

142
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: want to watch golf. First of all, it's my job,

143
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: but also to your point, I'm not a huge golf

144
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: guy and I want to watch golf and I can't

145
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: find it, and I don't know what to go, where

146
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: to go what to do, and as you said, I

147
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: can download the app. And today just felt like the

148
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: day where it's like, okay, everything builds towards that three

149
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: pm window where Jim Nance signs on and it's the

150
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: third round and everybody's excited, and then literally fifteen minutes

151
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: in they had to call it for the day. So I,

152
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, listen, the Masters is gonna do. You know,

153
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: Augustin National is gonna do what Augustin National does. But

154
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: this felt like the day where, man, it just burned

155
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: them because nobody got unless you're a die hard or

156
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: unless you're very tech savvy or you know how to

157
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: kind of like I'm somebody that's just I just want

158
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: to turn on CBS. I don't want to download extra apps,

159
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't care about golf enough to do this, and

160
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: I just I wasn't able to watch the Masters at all.

161
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: And now I think we'll probably have the same situation again.

162
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: I assume, by the way, tomorrow, even though the you know,

163
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: the third round will conclude starting at eight thirty thirty

164
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: am Eastern, I'm guessing that that doesn't mean that I'll

165
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: actually be able to watch at eight thirty am Eastern tomorrow. Yeah, man,

166
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: I doubt it. I guess we can look during the

167
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: break and try to figure out if they're going to

168
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: run it, because it was still going to be that

169
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: part of the tournament that would have aired or whatever.

170
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: But everything just feels so antiquated. It's like, I understand

171
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: it's supposed to look traditional, and you like that it's

172
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: a non obtrusive tournament in so many different ways, but

173
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: you're getting in the way of people being able to

174
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: enjoy your event, and that just doesn't seem doesn't seem

175
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: to make it any sense, like there's and certainly from

176
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: a business perspective, as you're saying, it doesn't make any sense.

177
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked. Wouldn't be the least bit shocked

178
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: if you couldn't watch anything until three thirty Eastern time

179
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow or something. But maybe the cooler heads will prevail.

180
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Smart heads will prevail, and they will run at least

181
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the third round where people can watch

182
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: it if they're interested, and hopefully not just on some

183
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: app because there are a whole lot of senior citizens

184
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: in this country that's like golf that just flat out

185
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: won't know what to do really quickly. For people who

186
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: are not golf die hards like myself. What is the

187
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: main story? Obviously, Brooks, Kepka has a four stroke lead.

188
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: I know the amateur who I believe is from Texas,

189
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: A and M is in third place right now. What

190
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: would you deem through two and a half rounds? Obviously,

191
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: I saw Tiger Woods made a twenty third straight cut,

192
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: although he kind of fell back after making the cut.

193
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: What would you deem to be the biggest story so

194
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: far at Augusta through two and a half rounds? I mean,

195
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: I'd say it's Kepka. I mean, just because Kepka has

196
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: that sort of that personality that's sort of briskly, sort

197
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: of villainy, and he's got to live tie in everything else.

198
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: And here's the PGA's event, here's this event that is

199
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be so regal, and you have this underlying

200
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: kind of thing going on. Plus Kepka is just dominated.

201
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Like how he's played really quick. Why is he so

202
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: much better in majors than everywhere else? Is there a

203
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: reason for it? I know he plays on the Live

204
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: Tour now, but obviously previous prior to leaving for the

205
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: Live Tour, Yeah, you know, I think that's a fair question.

206
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: It might just be I mean, certainly, if you're made

207
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: for major championship golf, then you're made to play the

208
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: local muni pretty effectively also, But maybe you don't psych

209
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: yourself up the same way. Maybe this is a guy

210
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: that when the cameras are on, that's when he really

211
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: plays his absolute best, when he is at his best,

212
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: and it's all it seems to always have been in

213
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: these major situations. He could just run away and take

214
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: a tournament and he just looks like you flat out

215
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: can't beat him. And then maybe he just can't psych

216
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: himself up enough. Maybe it's just, you know, it's the

217
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: it's the Candacy Chiefs escaping the I don't know, some

218
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: terrible football team that they have to play unfortunately. I'll

219
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: just say the Denver Broncos my squad and they escape

220
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: him by a field goal. And yeah, it's a division game,

221
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: but it's also it's it's easy to get yourself psyched

222
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: up for a national championship game. It's easy to get

223
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: yourself psyched up for an NC doubaa tournament game, for example,

224
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: or for a Super Bowl. It's harder on a week

225
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: to week basis when you're making a ton of money

226
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: and already have a ton of money in the bank

227
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: from the majors to care when half the rest of

228
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: the leaderboarder guys you barely know, or guys that you know,

229
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: there's five people watching at that point in time. Maybe

230
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: that's what it is, but it does certainly. I mean,

231
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 1: you're made and broken into PGA and in golf by

232
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: what you do in the majors, and brooks Kepka is

233
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: being made by what he's done in the majors. His

234
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: career is going to be in a great place at

235
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: the end in terms of his legacy and what he's

236
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: accomplished because of the major championships that he has. So

237
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have one situation where I play well

238
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: in certain tournaments and not in others, he picked the

239
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: right ones to play well. In eight career PGA Tour

240
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: wins for brooks Kepka, four of them at majors, two

241
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: PGA Championships in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, two US Opens

242
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, not two ships abby, as

243
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: he is now the leader through two and a half

244
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: rounds at Augusta National, the third round delayed by rain

245
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: I don't know about coverage, but the third round will

246

00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: All right, Jason, I want to switch gears. I do

261
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: want to talk the NBN. It's it's something that over

262
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, I've seen Covino and Rich

263
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: talk about it. I've seen Chris and Rob talk about it.

264
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: I saw the up on game. Guys talk about it

265
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: this morning. By the way, Hey, did you see the

266
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: text I sent you during the break? Uh? Let me see,

267
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: did I get a text for me? CBS will be

268
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: running the rest of the third round tomorrow morning? Oh

269
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: how can how nice of the folks at Augusta National

270
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: to allow us to actually watch the tournament that we

271
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: all want to watch. So eight thirty Eastern time, and

272
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: then they take a break, come back from two to

273
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: seven Eastern for the final round, so till the end

274
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: of the third round. Okay, all right, but that's that's

275
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: that's better than it could have been. Let's just say

276
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: that it's better than today when they logged on or

277
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: brought it signed on at three o'clock and then three

278
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: fifteen they went to an immediate weather delay. Also, I

279
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: saw twenty percent chance of rain tomorrow, so hopefully pretty

280
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: good chance that we get in the end of the

281
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: third in the entire fourth. I do want to switch gears, though, Jason,

282
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: because there was a very interesting story in the NBA

283
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: over the last couple of days, and again seeing a

284
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: lot of people on our network here talk about it.

285
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: But you know, I so here's the thing, Jason, right,

286
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't want to speak for you,

287
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: but I feel like a lot of times when we

288
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: talk about the NBA, especially prior to the playoffs. You

289
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: and I are both big hoops heads. We love basketball,

290
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: We love the NBA when guys are actually on the court,

291
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: But it feels like you and we spend a lot

292
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: of our time talking about this league, you know, when

293
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: there is a situation. By the way, the Frozen Four

294
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: is bananas right now, Minnesota and Quinnipiac. Quinnipiac just tied

295
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: it up with two minutes left in the third period,

296
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: so we'll probably have overtime in the final of the

297
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: Frozen Four. Anyway, back to the NBA. So I don't

298
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: think our intention is to come on every week and

299
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: just crush the NBA. But we had yet another instance yesterday.

300
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: We're like, my mind was at like I thought I

301
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: misread this and my mind was blown when I saw it. Okay,

302
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: So the situation is this is that as of right now,

303
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks two things were going on concurrently last

304
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: night in the second to last game of the regular season.

305
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: On the one hand, they were still eligible to make

306
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: the play in tournament if they won last night. They

307
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, they had to win last night, all that

308
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: good stuff. There was also a situation where basically if

309
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: they if they were to lose, it would all but

310
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: guarantee they end up in the top ten of the

311
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: NBA draft. Why that is important is because they have

312
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: a top ten protected pick this year in the NBA Draft,

313
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: essentially meaning that if they fall out of the top ten,

314
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: the pick goes somewhere else. I bring it up to say,

315
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks last night, with their playoff hopes on

316
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: the line, still eligible to make the playoffs, decided to

317
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: sit everyone except for Luca, who played the first quarter

318
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: and then they sat him down to Kyrie Irving did

319
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: not play. Josh Green did not play. Tim Hardaway Junior

320
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: did not play. Jason. I don't want to come on

321
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: these airwaves and crush the NBA every chance I get.

322
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: But like, it's one thing to rest a guy in January, December, February, March, whatever,

323
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: but when you have a chance to make the playoff,

324
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: like it's Jason, I am so blown away by how

325
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: pathetic this league has become. By the way, one last

326
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: thing and I'll throw it over to you because I'm

327
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: just yelling and screaming. But the NBA draft is not

328
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: the NFL draft. There are no guarantees. These guys come

329
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: in at eighteen, nineteen years old and they're two three,

330
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: so it's not like you're tanking for a situation to

331
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: draft a Trevor Lawrence type game changer in the NBA.

332
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: I guess in theory, there's the way Buniyama kid. Whatever

333
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: the point I'm trying to make, it's one thing. If

334
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: you take it's one thing. If you rest your guys

335
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: with a game or two left and you're completely out

336
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: of the playoff picture, you have no chance whatever. They

337
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: could have made the play in tournament, which as far

338
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, is the playoffs, and chose instead to

339
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: rest the guys lose on purpose during the regular season.

340
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: I am blown away by this, Jason. The floor is years,

341
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: but this league continues to embarrass itself, and I actually

342
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: think this was maybe the most embarrassing thing I've seen

343
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: from this league so far. Okay, so I actually would

344
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: take it in a different direction, but not not disagreeing

345
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: with your overall point. I don't think it's about the league.

346
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: I think it's about the Mavericks in this case, when

347
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: you look at the week as a whole, Embad had

348
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: a heck of a game this week, a statement kind

349
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: of game, an MVP statement kind of game. You've seen

350
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: some miraculous stuff. We're getting close to the playoffs. It

351
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: should be exciting. There are teams and both conferences to watch.

352
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: You're not going to have the load management and all

353
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: of this. Like, there are a lot of positives here.

354
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: The Mavericks are a playoff team right up until they

355
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: made that Kyrie Irving decision. The Kyrie Irving decision that

356
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: you and I were right here lamenting when it happened, saying,

357
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: I mean I wanted to watch it happen because I

358
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: just knew it was going to combust. It was just

359
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: going to go up and smoke up in flames, very

360
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: quite as bad as it's, Ben Jason. If they win

361
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: last night, they're potentially in the playoff. Yeah. But I

362
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: think that that's the whole point, Aaron. I think that

363
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: that statement you just made being accurate. I don't think

364
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: they I just think they wanted to head to the house.

365
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: I just think they're kind of done. I think they're

366
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: all sick of being there. I don't think that they're

367
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: happy in any respect. I think they know that what

368
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: they've done actually made them worse, may have ruined the

369
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: chemistry certainly, also might have made you start to question

370
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: the other superstar on that team not named Kyrie Irving,

371
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: the one that's been there for years. And you've had

372
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: a couple of embarrassing moments here, But isn't the whole

373
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't mean to cut you off, but now isn't

374
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: the whole? Like, isn't the whole argument about load management

375
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: just in general? Like let me talk about Luca after

376
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: the break, We talk about Kyrie after the break, like

377
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: you know, when we get to the sacre. But like

378
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: I thought, the whole point of load management was, Hey,

379
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: Lebron is gonna miss this game, Joe lmbiad is gonna

380
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: miss this game because all that matters is the postseason. Well,

381
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: now you have a chance to get into the postseason.

382
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: As bad as it's been since you've got Kyrie there,

383
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: as bad as it's been since you've got Kyrie, you

384
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: have a chance to get into the postseason. The whole

385
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: concept being, well, we need this superstar for the postseason,

386
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: and now they're actively not trying to get into the postseason.

387
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: That's the part that I'm getting tripped up on. Jason. Yeah,

388
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: well again, I think I think they want to go home.

389
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't think they feel like they have a chance

390
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: and they'd rather not expend the energy. I mean, look

391
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: at what Jason Kidds said. He said, it's not so

392
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: much waving the white flag. Decsions sometimes are hard in

393
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: this business and you have to make hard decisions. We're

394
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: trying to build a championship team and sometimes you gotta

395
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: take a step back. Effectively, what he's saying is we

396
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: need to rebuild, and we're just not even gonna go

397
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: in there and throw our hat in a ring this time.

398
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like to me. It's not even

399
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: a white flag. They're just like, nah, you know what,

400
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: We're just not gonna do this, Like we have no

401
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: interest in go in here and getting boat raced. This

402
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: isn't gonna go well, we don't like where we are.

403
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: We're just not even gonna bother. That's how it feels.

404
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: It feels like apathy more than anything else. It's just

405
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: kind of like this angle be our year anyway. There's

406
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: no point in even going through the motions here. How

407
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 1: about we just retool, maybe move on from Kyrie Irving

408
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: start fresh next year. It sounds insane because if I

409
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: was a fan of Dallas Mavericks, I would feel insane.

410
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: I would feel like, what am I cheering for? What

411
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: is the uniform? What is the sticker that I have

412
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: in my car? Whatever it might be. But that's what

413
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: it feels like. It's it feels like, I mean, what

414
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: have they been doing. I mean, they've been arguing about calls,

415
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: They've been trying to get appeals to the league that

416
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: have been denied. They've had other things that are happening.

417
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: They've had Luca getting nearly suspended, getting teed up over

418
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: and over again. Everything has fallen apart in record setting time.

419
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: And I think they finally were just like, I we're done, Na, no,

420
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: good man, let's just let's just set it to the house.

421
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: That is about as damning a statement as I could make.

422
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: They quit. They didn't wave a white flag because they

423
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: couldn't do it, or because you know, they were completely

424
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: feckless and nothing. They just flat out didn't care enough.

425
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: It feels like to me and they just wanted to

426
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: go home. I'll tell you what, well they are going

427
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: home now. By the way, for people who missed it,

428
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: they did lose, they are eliminated from the playoffs. I

429
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: just think this is so egregious and so embarrassing for

430
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: the league. I just think it's another black eye for

431
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: this league and it's I just think it's really bad.

432
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what. That's what we're gonna do.

433
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna toss it over to Saga on the news

434
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: desk when we come. I want to talk about the

435
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: Luca element of it and the Kyrie element of it,

436
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: because we'll see if those two can co exist going forward.

437
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: First time this evening, what is up to Sacred Hello, gentlemen,

438
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: that we're gonna lead with the masters, And I am

439
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: so glad you brought that up. And I remember a

440
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: couple decades ago when there was still all male membership

441
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: at Augusta National, when a women's organization wrote them about that,

442
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: and their response to them the letter back was it's

443
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: a private matter, it's our club. And then there was

444
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: a lengthy, lengthy response not to the women but to

445
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: the media saying, any woman joining Augusta National, that's going

446
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: to be on our timetable. Of course, their timetable had

447
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: lasted about eighty years at that point, with the answer

448
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: being no. Eventually, years later two women were invited to join,

449
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: and in fact Bronco's co owner, Condeliza Rice, is a

450
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: member of Augusta National. She has a green jacket. And this,

451
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 1: the change under pressure, has affected change elsewhere in the

452
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: structure of golf in other clubs, including overseas. Things got done.

453
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: But you mentioned this. I think that was the protest

454
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: where they said, remember they couldn't protest right outside Augusta

455
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: across the street. It was a half mile away that

456
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: particular weekend when they were protesting the club's policies, and

457
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: they said, well, you know, we're gonna ask people not

458
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: to patronize your sponsors, to boycott your sponsors that are

459
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: on the master's telecast for the weekend, to which the

460
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: rich people said, fine, will go the whole weekend without

461
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: any commercials. This is how rich people respond sometimes it's

462
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: I have more money than you, therefore my point is

463
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: better than yours, and this is how I can solve

464
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: it and help you perhaps go away. It reminded me

465
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: of some people are aware that the Clippers only have

466
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: another year and a half or so in their downtown

467
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: arena they rent with. The Lakers are kind of co owners.

468
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: Clippers are clearly renters in that place that used to

469
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: be known by another name. But the Clipper owner, with

470
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: all his wealth, is building another arena. It's right next door,

471
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: really a cross century boulevard from the Rams Stadium and

472
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: the Clippers place. Of course, any basketball arena could host

473
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: concerts down the road. Well, what's on the other side

474
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: of the Rams Football Stadium a concert venue? The Forum

475
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: where Magic and the Lakers used to play years ago.

476
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: It's been repurposed into a concert venue inside. So of

477
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: course he was looking at litigation and maybe years of it.

478
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: How did he solve? Rich Man solved the problem? He

479
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: bought the Forum for four hundred billion dollars from the

480
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden Corporation. So now you've got the Rams

481
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: Stadium in the middle of the street in Inglewood, the

482
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: middle of the block on one end as the Forum

483
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: owned by Steve Balmer, and at the other end will

484
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: be the Clippers Arena, also owned by Steve Balmer. So

485
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: are they still doing offense at the formers that just done?

486
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: They are still doing events at the Forum. I believe

487
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: the Clippers. Have you seen by the way they have

488
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: given like televised media tours of the place. They are

489
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: purposely having like no levels on one side of the

490
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: basketball arena so it can be just a wall of

491
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: sound hitting the opponents. Is the goal from row one

492
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: up to row fifty or whatever it's gonna there's no seats.

493
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: So there's no seats, no, no, no, only seats, but

494
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: not levels. You know what they're It's like like the

495
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl. You can walk literally from the field to

496
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: row one and walk up the steps to row seventy seven.

497
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: There's no levels. Do you understand. There's not like a

498
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: second deck or anything like. Perfect for some boxers training

499
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: video in a few years. You go. I was gonna say,

500
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: by the way to Sagar next Friday if you're free.

501
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: John Mayer is playing at the Forum, So oh well,

502
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: there you go. They're still doing stuff they're answering. By

503
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: the way, mister Atlanta Brave, I must although they did

504
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: loose tonight to the Padres, Yes for one pods the

505
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: final I cannot compliment the Braves enough when they go

506
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: to these throwback you know, the spectacular are the uniforms

507
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: from fifty years ago that Hank Aaron and company wore

508
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: with the blue and white at a little red, just sensational.

509
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: Could not be better. Hope to see it more often,

510
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: so better five four over the Padres they did tonight.

511
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: Braves were six and two, but lost at home tonight,

512
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: but at least, unlike the rain at the at Augusta,

513
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: it didn't cut into the baseball game in Atlanta. Third

514
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: round of the Masters will conclude tomorrow. Brooks kept the

515
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: leads by four strokes. Play was suspended this afternoon by

516
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: bad weather. Tiger Woods barely made the cut. We have

517
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: three late ball games. Going to the eighth inning. The

518
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks were down four nothing top of the first to

519
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. It's now Arizona twelve six in the lead,

520
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: but Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zach Davies left with a strained oblique. Nationals,

521
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: with a two and six record, are leading at Colorado

522
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: seven to two in the bottom of the ninth, and

523
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: in the Lake game at Anaheim, Angels have taken the

524
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: lead seven to five over the Blue Jays. Mike Trout

525
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: with a home run Tampa Bay's eight no after shutting

526
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: out the A's eleven to nothing in the NHL, all

527
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: thirty two teams are in action tonight, and the Boston

528
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: Bruins are winning again with ten minutes to go, it's

529
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: two one over the Devils. Of course, the NBA's regular

530
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: season ends tomorrow afternoon. Minnesota will be no lower than

531
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: ninth in the West standings. Minnesota will host New Orleans

532
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: to finish it up tomorrow. Minnesota a winner over San

533
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: Antonio today, one fifty one to one. Thirty one victories

534
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: for Utah and the Clippers a well. The Clips will

535
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: avoid the play in with a win tomorrow at Phoenix.

536
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: Back to you, thank you very much, Steve de Seger,

537
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday Erit tors Jason Martin

538
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from the tirect dot Com studios. So before

539
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: we tossed it over to Saga, we were talking about

540
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: this Dallas Maverick situation, the Mavericks choosing to basically can

541
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: we even call like is it resting your starters? I mean,

542
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: what are they resting for the offseason? Like I guess

543
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: it was. I don't know, but they could have with

544
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: a one win last night, stayed in contention to make

545
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs or the play in tournament. I should say

546
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: not that it's not technically the playoffs, I don't believe,

547
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: but they could have made the play in tournament, had

548
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: a chance to make it to that main bracket. Instead,

549
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: they rest everybody, and now their season is unofficially over

550
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: one game tomorrow against San Antonio. Jason, I want to

551
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: start by talking about, you know, this decision and really

552
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of months from two different perspectives. And

553
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to Kyrie Herving in a minute, because

554
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: he is certainly you know, this is another notch under

555
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: his belt of basically ruining an entire franchise. I do

556
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: have a couple questions here about Luca don Chi though,

557
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: and one thing, you and I've been working together about

558
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: two years now, but this has been my thing dating

559
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: back to when I hosted in this time slot with

560
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: Arnie Spanier, which, by the way, I can't wait to

561
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: hear later on in the show how last Saturday went,

562
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: because I can't even imagine. But like so, one of

563
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: my beefs with the NBA is I do think that

564
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: we elevate people too quickly, you know, the like like

565
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: we live in a world where everybody's always onto the

566
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: next thing and all that. But I think the NBA

567
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: is like that you know on steroids, right, Like it's

568
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: like every time you look up, it's, uh, you know,

569
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: Jah's next, Donovan Mitchell's next, LaMelo balls next, and like

570
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: there were real conversations about Luca. But even before he

571
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: made the Western Conference finals. Oh yeah, I mean he's

572
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: the best player in the league. I mean he is that.

573
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: And I said, like literally, I remember, maybe it was

574
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: with you, maybe it was the Army. I can't remember,

575
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: but I remember being on Aaron being like, can he

576
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: win a playoff series before we call him the best

577
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: player in the league, Like, like, can we calm down

578
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: a little bit with elevating all of these guys? And

579
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 1: so I bring it up because I think it's been

580
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: an interesting six seven, eight months for Luka Doncich. We

581
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: were told he needs another superstar. On the one hand,

582
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson is doing incredible things in New York with

583
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: the with the New York Knicks, they are going to

584
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. And on the other hand, the MAVs

585
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: are going to miss the playoffs. This after trading for

586
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving. So some of this obviously falls on Kyrie

587
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get to that maybe after the break,

588
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: But from the Luca perspective, did we just it was

589
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: it's just too much too soon with Luca because it

590
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: has not been a very good four or five months

591
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: for him in the post Jalen Brunson and obviously this

592
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: now Kyrie Irving world that we live in. I mean,

593
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't know there was too much too soon, but

594
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 1: I think that there were some troubling signs and some

595
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: red flags over the last few years. As scintillating as

596
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: he is to watch, he's a complicated persona. He's a

597
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: complicated personality, and he also is a guy that really

598
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: likes being a star. He likes people paying attention to him,

599
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: and in basketball, that means he likes the ball in

600
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: his hands an awful lot. He is ball dominant like

601
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: like nobody we've seen like in terms of how much

602
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: he wants the basketball at all times. That's why I

603
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: knew this was not going to work, because I didn't

604
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: see Kyrie Irving coming in to be a complimentary piece.

605
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: But I felt like Luka Doncic was still gonna want

606
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: to take forty shots a game, or was still gonna try,

607
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: or was gonna take a bad one or was gonna

608
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: get caught. Nobody dribbles more in the league than Luca

609
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: Doncic because as long as he's dribbling the ball still

610
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: in his hands, he still got an opportunity to find

611
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: an open spot to where he can throw up another shot.

612
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: But also his personality, you know, it's rubbed the officials

613
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: the wrong way, a little bit cocky, little arrogant and

614
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: buy a little I mean an awful lot, and you

615
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: see it and it's out there. I think that Brunson

616
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: going and being as good as he's been for the

617
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: Knicks is pretty pretty rough if you're the Mavericks organization especially,

618
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: And you saw Mark Cuban come out midweek and say

619
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: that what Brunson's dad said wasn't true. But Brunson's dad

620
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: said that in January of last year, they told Dallas, hey,

621
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: Jaylen will sign your four year extension if you just

622
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: put it on the table right now. And it was

623
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: a four year, fifty six million dollar extension. They didn't

624
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: do it until after the deadline. You had seen some

625
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: other players except other offers. This dude ends up getting

626
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: a four year, one hundred and four million dollars deal

627
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: from the Knicks. They couldn't sign him for nearly half

628
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the mask could have kept him for half

629
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: that if you believe that story. But I look at

630
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: Bruntson's success and say, Brunson. We knew Brunson could play,

631
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: We knew we could do in college, and we saw

632
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: flashes of this in Dallas. But when he was unrestrained

633
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: and was allowed to be the guy in New York,

634
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: or was allowed to feel like there was some freedom there,

635
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: he has flourished. That's what I wonder is how many

636
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: dudes are standing around watching Luca that are never going

637
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: to really be what they could be because they're standing

638
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: around watching Luca. It's tough because for him to be

639
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: Luca Dongich and be that kind of a force, he

640
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: needs the ball a lot of the time. I don't

641
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: think he's wrong for wanting the ball a lot, but

642
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: you've got to have the right mixture of people around him.

643
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: And it's not just one other superstar. It's the right

644
00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: superstar with the right mentality and a supporting cast. It

645
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: understands their roles and also it's willing to go get

646
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: a bucket when they have to once in a while.

647
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: It's like they can't just be ice cold. Because they

648
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: don't shoot, They've still got to be deadly enough to

649
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: get a couple of buckets. It's a tough Tetris puzzle

650
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: right now for the Dallas Mavericks because Luca don chich

651
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: is not the easiest guy to build around. If that

652
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: makes sense, it makes perfect sense, and it also sets up,

653
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, the interesting second question is that what is

654
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: the future of Kyrie Irving with this organization. Mark Cuban

655
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: wants him back, but should he We will discuss that

668
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: the second time this week, Jason, a school from Connecticut

669
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: has claimed a national championship. Quinnipiac University and beautiful Hamden, Connecticut.

670
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: It is actually a very beautiful campus. They just won

671
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: ten seconds into overtime beating Minnesota. This is, of course

672
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: on the heels. Not sure if you heard Yukon men's

673
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: basketball won the championship on Monday. I mean, I had

674
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: no idea. I didn't even know what was on. I

675
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: will tell you really quick. UM, I was gonna save

676
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: this story for for later. You know, into Seger. You

677
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 1: can hop in on this one if you care to. UM.

678
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: I was basking in the in the the joy of

679
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: victory on Monday night. Um, going to the Yukon Hotel

680
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: to celebrate after the game. Did my media stuff get

681
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: in the cab with my little Fox Sports jacket. On

682
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: didn't say Fox Sports RADI but it said Fox Sports

683
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: cab driver. First thing he says, you work for Fox Sports.

684
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, he goes, I love listening to that

685
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: Arnie Spaniard guy. And that just ruined the whole championship.

686
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: It's a true story. Now I think it was more

687
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: like I used to listen please, yes, that was me

688
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: right there. Um, I think it was more like ruined

689
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: the championship. It was a pretty big downer. You know.

690
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: It was like, uh, I don't know, I don't want

691
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: to even try to make a comparison, but you know

692
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: it was it was Uh. I was like, really that

693
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: that's your guy. And I think it was more a

694
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: I used to listen to Arnie on Fox Sports Radio,

695
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: Like I don't get the sense that, in no disrespect,

696
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: maybe he does listen it, you know, the Sunday Show

697
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: with Chris Plank. But but he did say he's like, oh,

698
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: that Arnie Spannier guy. He's a real trip. And I

699
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: was like, I mean, yeah, he is definitely a trip.

700
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: By the way, how did how did it go? How

701
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: did it go last Yes? How did it go last week?

702
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: In my absence with Arnie over there, I wasn't so

703
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: Now my wife knows when I act with Arnie. She

704
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: always asked me the next day, She's like, how was

705
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: it with Arnie? This time? I was just like, you

706
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: know what, this was the best I've I've probably been

707
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: with him. He just seemed more agreeable last week wow,

708
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: like in a way that I wasn't anticipating. Not that

709
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: we agreed on everything, but he didn't feel like comic villain,

710
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 1: like he had tied a damsel to train tracks, like

711
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: the way that he was finding ways to disagree. Yeah,

712
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: I felt like he was much more agreeable than usual

713
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: last week. Now he was taking a lot of shots

714
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: at Yukon, He's taking a lot of shots at you.

715
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: But then he actually said the one that he repeated

716
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: on air like three or four times he did say

717
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: to you when we had you on after the game,

718
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: which was, you know, Yukon's gonna go down in history

719
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: as the first national champion not to have beating a

720
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: good team. Oh God along the road. So he dropped that.

721
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: He dropped that nugget many many times. But that's okay.

722
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it was fine. It was this. This was

723
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: probably the easiest four hours I've had with Arnie. And

724
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: maybe we did have a lot to talk about him,

725
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: and we had the Final four going on, and we

726
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: were able to talk about a variety of different things.

727
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: He was able to mock me because I cared more

728
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: about WrestleMania than what was happening in the Final four.

729
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, it on the one to ten Arnie scale,

730
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: where usually everything is like a negative five, this was

731
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 1: maybe like a one point two. Okay, all right, perfect.

732
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: Did you have something you want to add? Yeah? I

733
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: have a theory about way why maybe Arnie was behaving himself,

734
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: because it's just that he had an external element, you Aaron,

735
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: to focus his his his negative energies tour. That's a

736
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: very good point, Like you weren't you weren't here. But

737
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: all the while he could attack in effigy. He was challenge,

738
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: he was he was He was basically channeling all his

739
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: vitriol towards you and then had none left for me.

740
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: So we just ended up, you know, agreeing on a

741
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. Talking about Anthony Rindoon. We were both

742
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: on the same page. I was stunned. Wow, listen to you.

743
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: That was bad. I thought that was bad. I did that.

744
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: So that sounds like, uh that So basically essentially what

745
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: you're saying is is that, um that sounds like a

746
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: grumpy old man who was mad that his team uh

747
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: never seems to perform in March, and so he was

748
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: mad that my team was actually having success. By the way,

749
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: really quick and we'll we'll start Uh, either at the

750
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: top of this coming hour, maybe the top of next

751
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: hour on the Yukon stuff. Um, the whole Yukon didn't

752
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: have had the easiest path ever. I understand by seating like,

753
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the easiest of all time. Listen,

754
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: they beat the ACC regular season champ in the final four. Uh, Gonzaga.

755
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: I was told, oh, watch out for Gonzaga, they have

756
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: no pressure on them this year. They beat him by

757
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight points while we were on air. Arkansas was

758
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: the team that nobody wanted to see going into the tournament.

759
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: The West was the toughest region in the tournament. It's like,

760
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: and maybe we just lead the top of next hour

761
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: talking a little bit. Yu Coon Basketball and Mark Medina,

762
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: by the way, we'll join us next hour as well.

763
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: I'm here to hear a lot of things. When you

764
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: win six tournament games by thirteen plus points, don't talk

765
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: about how easy the path was. Like like, at some

766
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: point you just got to give the team credit for

767
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: dominating that tournament the way that they did. Jason, So look,

768
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: that's what I told Arni. Basically, I was just like

769
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: I was laughing at the joke that he was making.

770
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I just said, they've just

771
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: killed everybody. They've dominated. That was the word that I

772
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: used as well. It was just they looked head and

773
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: shoulders better than every other team I watched in that tournament,

774
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: and they kept it up consistently from they had that

775
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: like close first half in the opener ye and then

776
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: after that it was just smooth sailing. It felt like

777
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: they were just better than everybody else up to and

778
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: including San Diego State, who I give them credit for

779
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: not just rolling over and dine like they tried awfully

780
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: hard to try and make that thing interesting. They just

781
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: didn't have enough. Yeah, I saw Yukon actually had its

782
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: victory parade today and San Diego State had a celebration

783
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: tonight in San Diego as well at the new San

784
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: Diego State Football Stadium. And I'll tell you what, I

785
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: give that program a lot of credit. You know, they

786
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: deserve all the praise that they got. They worked, really,

787
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: they were just great group of kids to be around.

788
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: Older guys, get it about the right things, all that stuff,

789
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: and so you know, it was a fun weekend overall.

790
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, this is what we'll do, Jason,

791
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: We'll come back we'll start next hour. I do want

792
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: to talk a little NFL because there was some interesting

793
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: news with the Jets. We'll do that. Mark Medina will

794
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 1: join us. We'll revisit Yukon later this show, probably maybe

795
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: about midnight Eastern time, to discuss that dominant run. We

796
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: got a lot on the plate. Masters, maybe a little

797
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: women's college ball, men's college basketball. But up next, the

798
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: Jets have a quarterback. It's just not who you think.

799

Speaker 1: our Fox Sports Radio NBA insider, will be joining us

808
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: in about twenty minutes. We'll talk about some of that

809
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: MAV stuff and of course everything else that you need

810
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: to know heading into the play in event this week,

811
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: and then of course also the play in the regular playoffs,

812
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: which obviously begin later in the week as well. Jason,

813
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: I do want to switch gears, and I do you know,

814
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: it's been two weeks since I've been on the main

815
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 1: airwaves here on Fox Sports Radio. A lot has changed

816
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,479
Speaker 1: in the NFL and nothing has changed. At the same time,

817
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has demanded a trade or I guess he

818
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: had already demanded a trade, but it became public since

819
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: the last time I'm on air. And also the Aaron

820
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers Jets saga took another twist over the last couple

821
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: of days. Joe Douglas the GM has said Aaron Rodgers

822
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: will be the Jets quarterback next year. But the big news,

823
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: of course, was that Tim Boyle Doyle Boyle. I forget that.

824
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: Whatever Boil is correct, Boyle was correct. Okay, I said

825
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: it out loud and I was like, I don't think

826
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: that's right. You know what's actually really bad, Jason, Tim

827
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 1: Boyle actually played at Yukon, So yeah, I was about

828
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: to say, do you know what his record was at Yukon?

829
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: Because I do, What was it? Or no? Not his record?

830
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: Do you know what his touchdown to interception number was?

831
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: What was it? One touchdown? To thirteen interceptions, then transferred

832
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: to Eastern Kentucky. Well guess what. One he's in the NFL.

833
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 1: Good for him. Two we got Jim More now, baby,

834
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean you listen, Connecticut is the state of champions.

835
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: Quinnipiac just won a national championship in hockey, Yukon won

836
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: one in basketball. In case you did not hear, but

837
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: Tim Boyle was signed by the Jets this week. And

838
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: of course I don't know why I said Doyle like

839
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: I knew it was Boile. I don't know why I

840
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: freaked out there like I don't know it was one

841
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: of those I got nervous. Whatever, point being. It's interesting

842
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 1: because he was a backup for two years for Aaron

843
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers. I think everybody's kind

844
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: of insinuating he worked with He worked with Nathaniel Hackett

845
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: when they were in Green Bay, backed up Aaron Rodgers.

846
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: The Jets obviously needed yet another quarterback. They still have

847
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson on the roster, but Mike White obviously left

848
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: this offseason. You know, I'll just say, Jason, it seems

849
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: like everything's lining up for Aaron Rodgers to be a Jet,

850
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: including Aaron Rodgers saying it and the team acknowledging it.

851
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: So what is the hold up at this point? Jason,

852
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: That's part of it is weird to me. And it's

853
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: just that Green Bay doesn't feel like they have to

854
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: do anything yet. I don't know what exactly the sticking

855
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: point is. Whether we're getting closer to the draft. You

856
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: would think that it gets done before that point in time,

857
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: but they could hold it off until June if they

858
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: wanted to. I don't know what it is that they

859
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: want that they aren't getting at this point. I would

860
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: love to find out, and I hope at the end

861
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: of this we will find out why it took this long,

862
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: considering everybody sort of acknowledges him as a Jets player, yeah,

863
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: almost at this point. And the boil signing is interesting

864
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: because not not really the Aaron Rodgers side of it,

865
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: although yeah, okay, so he backed up Aaron Rodgers and

866
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett's you know, comfortable with him and all that,

867
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: Like it makes sense. It's like they are preparing for

868
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: Aaron rodgers arrival. But what's fascinating here is, and I

869
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: read this in a couple of different Jets sources over

870
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: the last day or so basically that's a challenge to

871
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson that he's not even the backup at this stage,

872
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: which is astonishing first of all, but if you look

873
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: at his numbers over the first two years, they're among

874
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: the worst in the history of the league through that

875
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: time frame. So that they have four quarterbacks on the

876
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: roster because they still have Chris Struggler as well. So

877
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: you're looking at probably Aaron Rodgers and then it's gonna

878
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: be boiled, or Zach Wilson and then Chris Struggler. That's

879
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: how far Zach Wilson has fallen. Remember him saying that

880
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: he was gonna make whoever whoever came in to take

881
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: that job is and make their life a living hell.

882
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: I guess you can do that with Tim Boyle, because

883
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be doing that with Aaron Rodgers. He's

884
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: doing that with the backup to the backup to the backup.

885
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: Real quick, Um, let me ask you just just straight up,

886
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: because somebody actually asked me this the other day. Do

887
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: you think so? Obviously? Look, something I know that you

888
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: and I have talked about is the idea that listen,

889
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: I think when Aaron Rodgers two three weeks ago went

890
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: on with Pat McAfee. I think the intention, I think

891
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: he had the writing good intention. Let me put it

892
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: that way. I think that interview was essentially Aaron Rodgers

893
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: trying to tell Packer Nation, listen, I want to be here.

894
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: They don't want me here. Now, how true is that?

895
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, he did the whole I

896
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: went into the darkness planning to retire that I didn't whatever,

897
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. The reason I bring it

898
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: up is because I've been asked to. So the point

899
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make, I guess is this is that

900
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: I think he publicly said that to let you know,

901
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: Packer Nation know, Hey, I love you, I'll always be

902
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: a packer. They don't want me here. But what he

903
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: ultimately ended up doing was basically basically creating no market

904
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: for himself outside of the Jets, and it did not

905
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,479
Speaker 1: make it easier on the Jets to make that trade.

906
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: It only made it harder because everybody knows that's the

907
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: only place that he wants to play. So I guess

908
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: my question to you is this, do you believe the

909
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: Jet or the packers have already been offered what they want,

910
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: and at this point it is basically just to kind

911
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: of double birds to Aaron Rodgers, because I have heard

912
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: that theories. Basically like you dragged us through the mud

913
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: for years, you kept us a few offseasons waiting till

914
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: the last minute, You've said things publicly that we didn't like,

915
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: and now we have a chance to kind of rub

916
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: your face in the dirt a little bit. Do you

917
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: believe that any of that could be at play with

918
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: why the packers seemingly or dragging their feet on this trade?

919
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: Do I think it is true? I don't know. I'm

920
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: a little skeptical there. Do I think it could be

921
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: true for sure? Because there's never been potentially a more

922
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: spiteful athlete that I can remember in my lifetime than

923
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and it's always been at the packer's expense,

924
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: like these off seasons, and like you said, you're kind

925
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: of leaving them hanging to the last second and all

926
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: of this. So, yeah, this is their final opportunity to

927
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: kind of stick it to the guy, to kind of

928
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: just be like, you know, you were great here, but man,

929
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 1: we finally just ran out of asperin for your headaches.

930
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: It's not because you can't play that you're not here,

931
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: So don't go out there and say, hey, Green Bay,

932
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to be there, they didn't want me. I

933
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: came out of the Darkness Retreat and found out, you know,

934
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: all of this, they we you know, we did talk

935
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: about it. Ernie and I did talk about it last week,

936
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,919
Speaker 1: Aaron the whole situation with Goodakoots coming out and saying,

937
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: eventually I had to do my job because we couldn't

938
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: get in contact with the guy and basically saying that

939
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: what he said to McAfee and what he said on

940
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: McAfee about the Darkness Retreat was a bunch of hogwash

941
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: in effect. And so one of those two guys is

942
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: not telling. The one has a history of kind of

943
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: manipulating things for his own game. The other one we

944
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: don't know enough about. But as far as we know,

945
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: there's integrity there. But do I think that Green Bay

946
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: could finally be giving Aaron Rodgers a taste of his

947
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: own spike medicine. I think it's possible. I think that

948
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: would be hilarious if it were actually true. I don't

949
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 1: know that it is. Maybe they haven't been offered everything

950
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 1: that they think they can get, but Aaron Rodgers pretty

951
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: much by going publicly and doing it and saying what

952
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: he said, he destroyed the leverage on one half of

953
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: the aisle he gave. He gave all the power in

954
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: one direction, and now he's just kind of caught. Like

955
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: I think we all know he's ultimately going to be there.

956
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: We're expecting him to be in Jets Gang Green week one,

957
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, playing quarterback for the New York Jets, but

958
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: them kind of making him twisting the win because they

959
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 1: have the opportunity and right now it's still the ball

960
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: is in their court. Yeah, I think it's absolutely possible.

961
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: And could you blame him in some respects based on

962
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: how they could at least believe that they've been treated

963
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: over the last three years. I can't, No, I no,

964
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: I can't, And I think there might be something to that.

965
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, they might just wait until

966
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: the draft to see if they can get that, you know,

967
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: that first round pick really quick. I have not been

968
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: on air since the Lamar Jackson trade became official public knowledge.

969
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what you and already talked about last week,

970
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: but but where are you at with Lamar? Do you

971
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: believe he will be in another uniform next next year.

972
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 1: Do you believe that ultimately the two sides will figure

973
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 1: something out. Where are you at on Lamar Jackson. I

974
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: don't even know, Like at this stage, I think we're

975
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 1: all just sort of sitting and watching. Lamar has handled

976
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: this badly. The Ravens have in many cases just slow

977
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: played their hand. You've had the stuff out there about

978
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and you've had a lot of different people

979
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: coming out and talking about this, but just the reticence

980
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: of teams to step up, and where Lamar Jackson finds

981
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: himself and again what he wants what maybe he was

982
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: offered and turned down, but more or less he wants

983
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: more guaranteed money, it feels like and than Shaun Watson

984
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: he wants. And basically, even if you could agree in

985
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: principle that that makes sense based on the two individuals

986
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: at play, just because the Browns or morons doesn't mean

987
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: anybody else is willing to be morons. And Lamar Jackson

988
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: not having an agent and then hiring a guy that

989
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,959
Speaker 1: can't negotiate and would nullify any deal that was set

990
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: up after that, I've just kind of washed my hands

991
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: of talking about it past that, Like we just got

992
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: to wait and see what happens at this point in time.

993
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I still assume he will be

994
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: a raven. Do I think he is willing to sit

995
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: out for a year to stand his ground on principle?

996
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: I hope not, because I don't think that that's a

997
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: smart choice. Well, it goes counter to like, oh, I'm

998
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna bet on myself. You bet on yourself. You know

999
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: you could, you know you could have played under the

1000
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 1: franchise tag for however much money. But it's a nice

1001
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: amount of money. And I keep going back to we

1002
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: reportedly know that, or it's been I think pretty much confirmed.

1003
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: He got off for three years, one hundred and thirty

1004
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: three million, And I think I've heard Jonas Knox bring

1005
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: this up. And Jonas is great at what he does,

1006
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,760
Speaker 1: Like at least I don't know if it was Jonas,

1007
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: but it was the two pros and a cup of

1008
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: Joe's Guy. It's like, if you're really betting on yourself,

1009
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: that's actually the contract to take, because you're like twenty

1010
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: five right now. You would hit, you would get, you

1011
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: would bank one hundred and thirty three million, And if

1012
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: things go the way that we all think they're certainly

1013
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: capable of going the way that you are definitely think

1014
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: they're going. If you're betting on yourself, then you hit

1015
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: free agency and get it twenty eight years old. Not

1016
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: only do you hit it at twenty eight and by

1017
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: the way, quarterbacks prime is generally age twenty nine if

1018
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: you look at it statistically through history, but you also

1019
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: hit it after the new TV money. Yep, you hit

1020
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: it after the salary cap explodes, when we're already gonna

1021
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: be watching guys like Burrow cashing him fifty plus million

1022
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: dollars a year contracts. So you get two cracks at

1023
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: the apple. You get a short term deal where you're

1024
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: still making an awful lot of money, even if you

1025
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: think you're underpaid. You can make them bleed next time around,

1026
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,439
Speaker 1: and you can make him bleed a lot more because

1027
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna be more in the kiddie originally for you

1028
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: to pick from. Absolutely right, Absolutely right, And yeah, I

1029
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: guess I'm kind of in the same boat as you,

1030
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: as I don't. I don't have any strong new opinions

1031
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson. You know, since all this trade stuff

1032
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,240
Speaker 1: came out, you know, listen, I've expressed very many times

1033
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: I think he needs a real agent. You know, the

1034
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: last time you and I spoke was was when he

1035
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 1: had somebody that did it. Wasn't NFLPA certified reaching out

1036
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: to teams on his behalf and listen, I say, pay

1037
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: the three percent, and listen, he pays the three percent

1038
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,439
Speaker 1: I guarantee. I would venture to guess at this point,

1039
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't know this, there's no way to know. I

1040
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: think he probably has the second most guaranteed money in

1041
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: the history of the NFL. We talked about this a

1042
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. Kyler Murray's at one eighty nine, Deshaun

1043
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: Watson's at two thirty. My guess is he's somewhere north

1044
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray. But listen, just because the Browns, as

1045
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: you've said many times, just because they gave out a

1046
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: bad contract, doesn't mean that the Ravens are obligated to

1047
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: do the same. So wait will monitor the Lamar Jackson

1048
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: stuff over the coming days. But coming up, we will

1049
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: go back to the NBA where Mark Medina will join us.

00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: wanted you to wait. Let me tell you a story

1062
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 1: of my situation. I was talking to this girl from

1063
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: the US nation the way that a matter Welcome back Everybody,

1064
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Our board up world man Chris Chris

1065
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: Chris Perfett was working very hard, uh during the break

1066
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: and found that we have no context as to wool.

1067
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: We know it's already span here and we know it

1068
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: and he's singing bismarkey, but we don't know where it

1069
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: came from, what the context is behind you got what?

1070
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: I oh, my lord, But you say he's just a friend,

1071
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: and you say he's just the Welcome back Everybody, Fox

1072
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: Sports Radio eritorist Jason Martin broadcasting live from the Entirect

1073
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: dot Com studios. This is what I want to do.

1074
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: From just about the least professional person on the planet,

1075
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: Arnie Spaniards singing karaoke. I do want to head to

1076
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 1: the phone lines where Mark Medina is patiently waiting our

1077
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio NBA insider. Mark. I don't know if

1078
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,760
Speaker 1: you have any relationship with Arnie Spanier, but that twenty

1079
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 1: second clip or so pretty much sums up his career

1080
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: in a nutshell. How are you doing tonight, Mark? I'm

1081
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 1: doing well. Man. I always love talking with you, and yeah,

1082
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: I mean we can go well. However, I'm professional or

1083
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 1: professional you want with us NBA stopics, you can never

1084
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: fail when it comes to this. Luke, Well, let me

1085
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: ask you about this. So Jason and I were talking

1086
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: earlier about this whole situation with the Mavericks. I'll try

1087
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 1: to be quick because I want here, but I just

1088
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 1: want to give the audience some context. Here is they

1089
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: were still alive for the play in tournament last night

1090
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: and decided to essentially sit everybody. Luca played the first

1091
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: quarter and then came out, the logic being that it

1092
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: would they have a top ten protected NBA draft pick

1093
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: losing last night essentially guarantees that opportunity to stay in

1094
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: the top ten. I just bring it up, Mark, because listen,

1095
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: I've been a critic of load management in this and

1096
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: that and the other thing, but when you have a

1097
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: chance to compete for a championship, to play your way

1098
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: into the play in and then potentially that main tournament,

1099
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: I think that's an awful look for both the MAVs

1100
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: in the league. What is the buzz around this decision

1101
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: by Dallas last night? Mark, Yeah, I completely agree with you.

1102
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the NBA they said that they've commenced

1103
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: an investigation into what a league spokesperson said, it's the

1104
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 1: facts and circumstances surrounding, you know, the Dallas Mavericks roster decisions.

1105
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: But I don't think it really takes an investigation to

1106
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: be able to call a spade a spade. I mean,

1107
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd kind of said the silent part out loud

1108
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: that they're preemptively going to set the other guys because

1109
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: they're it could be out of the playoffs, and I

1110
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,919
Speaker 1: think that, you know, there have been some fair criticisms, Well,

1111
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: what about the Poland trail Blazers, you know, I was

1112
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: at the Clippers Blazers game today. The Blazers have set

1113
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,720
Speaker 1: out all their guys essentially for the past two weeks.

1114
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: The Utah Jazz they've done the same thing. But I

1115
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: think the clear difference here is those teams were already

1116
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: mathematically eliminated. I mean, the Mavericks, they've been a you

1117
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: know what show since the trade deadline with getting Kyrie Irving.

1118
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: So this idea of them winning a championship was fool's gold.

1119
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: But when you have a chance to get in a

1120
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: plan at least, you have to go that route as

1121
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: opposed to being a loser and trying to worry about

1122
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: the lottery odds. And you know what, maybe this was

1123
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: a protest from Mark Cuban to the NBA that he

1124
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: didn't feel that they punished the New York Knicks enough

1125
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: with the Jalen Brunson and any possible tampering because of

1126
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: his father's relationship there. They only got docked a second

1127
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: round pick, and all that stuff's fine. I think there's

1128
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: two things here. Number One, the larger factors the Mavericks

1129
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: miss handle Brunson's potential resign and that's the major thing

1130
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: that drove him to New York. But number two, that's

1131
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of a mentality that loser franchises due as far

1132
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: as like trying to play the odds and make a

1133
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: message just win and take care of everything else. So yeah,

1134
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: it's just a bad look all around. Brunson. The way

1135
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: he has thrived with New York, does it make you

1136
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: question at all how difficult it is to build a

1137
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: team around a player who needs the ball and wants

1138
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: the ball as often as Luca Donta. Well, no doubt

1139
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: it's a challenge because Luca don does need to have

1140
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands as much as the Mavericks say, hey,

1141
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 1: he can play well off the ball and let's reduce

1142
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: the workload. At the end of the day, Luca winds

1143
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: up being most comfortable with the ball, and you know,

1144
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: the team for the most part needs him. But when

1145
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: you look at the past records of some of his

1146
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: other supporting casts, it was the same issues with Kristoff Porzingis.

1147
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: But I think, in fairness to Jalen Brunson, he played

1148
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: really well with Luca, and no doubt he's been able

1149
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: to unlock an even bigger version of himself in New York.

1150
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: But I think that that pairing still could have coexisted.

1151
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: So I put more of the blame on just the

1152
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 1: front office front office with how they've constructed the roster,

1153
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: and look Luca Dockets. From what I've been told, he's

1154
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: obviously frustrated, but he's expecting that the front office makes

1155
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: good decisions. This offseasons that he has a good roster

1156
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,959
Speaker 1: around him. That's not to say that he's telling them

1157
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: which guy to get and which guy not to get,

1158
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: but it's gotten to the point where his patients has

1159
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: been wearing thin with having to be the guy that

1160
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: carries the team all the time. And maybe Luca does

1161
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: deserve some blame for that because he can't help himself.

1162
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: But I also can't fold him because there hasn't been

1163
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: this consistent supporting cast around him to make things easier. Mark,

1164
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: what is the future? Mark Medina joining us by the way,

1165
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio NBA Insider. What is the future with

1166
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Yrie Irving? I mean, I saw Mark Cubans and all

1167
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: the right things. We want him back, but obviously contract

1168
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: coming up, and then furthermore, if will it be Dallas

1169
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: and if not, what is the market? We know that

1170
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: obviously Lebron still seems to have a fancy for him.

1171
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: But this is yet another organization that has gone in

1172
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: the wrong direction the second they brought in Kyrie Irving.

1173
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: What would the market What will the market be for

1174
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving when he hits free agency. Yeah, well, look

1175
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: there's a few things on packer first from the Dallas Mavericks,

1176
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 1: and sure they'll make some sort of effort to resign Kyrie,

1177
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're trying to do a long

1178
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: term deal, and that's what Kyrie wants. So I don't

1179
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: think that partnership is going to last beyond what we

1180
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: saw in this middle of the season. And clearly, I

1181
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: think in fairness to Kyrie for all, you know, the

1182
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: drama that's followed him every franchise he's gone, I put

1183
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: again more of the percentage blame high on the roster construction.

1184
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: It was bad before he got here. They gave up

1185
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: even more depth to get him, and so, you know,

1186
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: while clearly the chemistry between Kyrie and Luca needed more

1187
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: time and wasn't the best fit, there's larger factors elsewhere. Now,

1188
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: what's interesting about what the market could be. It seemed

1189
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: like the natural landing spot would be with the Lakers

1190
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: because Lebron James is one of them. But I think

1191
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: with the trade deadline moves that the Lakers have made

1192
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: a few months ago, with getting D'Angel Russell, getting Malik

1193
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: be Easily, Jared Vanderbilt, all those combination of players either

1194
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: have a player team option or going to hit the

1195
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: open market. I think as of now, well, things can

1196
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: always be subject of change in today's NBA. I think

1197
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers are inclined to just run it back for

1198
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: next season. They've been very pleased with the immediate returns,

1199
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: and look, the Lakers are fighting tooth and nail to

1200
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: make sure that they avoid the planned Tournament. They're at

1201
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: least in the planned Tournament. But if you look at

1202
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: their record post trade deadline, they would be considered one

1203
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the Western Conference. They're only

1204
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: fighting for their playoffs seating lives really because they had

1205
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: a bad roster pre tread the deadline with Russell Westbrook

1206
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 1: and not a great supporting cast around Lebron and Ady

1207
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: to cover up Russ's hole. So with what that means

1208
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: for Kyrie's market, I don't want to say it's non existent,

1209
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: because maybe there is that desperate suitor out there, but

1210
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: he's soon running out of a lot of options before

1211
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: he has to be willing to accept the fact. Maybe

1212
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 1: it's about accepting midlevel deals, speaking of accepting accepting facts

1213
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: and accepting what we've seen with our eyes and accepting history.

1214
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: Mark Zion Williamson not going to be back in time

1215
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: for the play in to the topic. I know Aaron

1216
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: and I are going to jump into a little bit

1217
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: later on. Are we getting to the point where you

1218
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: just flat out can't expect that he's going to remain

1219
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: on the floor enough to make anywhere near the impact

1220
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: in his career that some had hoped with him coming

1221
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: out of Duke. Yeah, I think that's fair to say

1222
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: it look fault the Pelicans for still giving him a

1223
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: MAX extension last summer. I think it's one of those things,

1224
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: well what if you if you don't do that, what's

1225
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,959
Speaker 1: the alternative? Right And I can't think of a better

1226
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: alternative right now, given you know some of the Catholimaticians.

1227
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't think that moving forward the Pelicans

1228
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: should think, oh, well, if only Zion Williams in his back,

1229
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: because that's been few and far between. The frustrating thing

1230
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: about this development is when Zion's been on the floor,

1231
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: he's been very unstoppable. He's added to his game, he's

1232
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: been able to rely on the power that really made

1233
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: him this coveted prospect. But he's improved his decision making,

1234
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: his range, his coachability has been really good. He's been

1235
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: watching film. He's shown improvement with taking care of his

1236
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:49,439
Speaker 1: body and changing his dietary habits. The Pelicans internally are

1237
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,919
Speaker 1: all pleased with all those kind of things, But the

1238
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: ironic part is they've been adamant that this latest hamstring

1239
01:03:56,040 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: injury it's not necessarily related to other injuries where oh,

1240
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: well he didn't fully rehab his previous injuries or his

1241
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: body's compensating, but it doesn't matter. Essentially, results are results,

1242
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: and if there's going to be one injury that pops

1243
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: up here, another injury that pops up there, you just

1244
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: have to conclude that he is going to be injury

1245
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 1: prone for the rest of his career. It's not to

1246
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: say he's a boss, not to say that he's not

1247
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 1: a good player, because he is. But you can't just

1248
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: put that kind of trust in a player when he

1249
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: don't know what his availability is, and that ties into

1250
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: the old adage of what makes a player valuable of

1251
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: the best ability is availability, and he hasn't fulfilled that

1252
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: so far. Last one for me, Mark Mark Medina joining

1253
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: US Fox Sports Radio NBA insider. I know you were

1254
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: with the Clippers today, but just in general, we're going

1255
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: into these playing games this week and then of course

1256
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the main bracket next weekend. What are some things? It

1257
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: feels like Boston and Milwaukee are kind of the class

1258
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: of the East. I know Philadelphia has another good squad,

1259
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: but just in general for people who are kind of

1260
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 1: coming out of that March madness, Hay, what would you what? What? What?

1261
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: What do you tell people? What? What? Let me let

1262
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: me start again? What would you tell people to keep

1263
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: an eye on? Sorry for tripping over my awards there

1264
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: now it's okay. I mean for the Eastern Conference is

1265
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: a little more cut and dry. I think it's the

1266
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: bus Bucks and the Celtics and than everyone else. Philadelphia, Cleveland,

1267
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: I guess they have an outsider's chance, but it's it's

1268
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: mostly Milwaukee and Boston. The rest of the East. Uh whatever,

1269
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: those guys, those teams won't make it out past the

1270
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: first round anyway. The Western Conference It's all up in

1271
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: the air because you have Denver at one, Memphis two,

1272
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: Sacramento at three. They're the top of the team, at

1273
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: the top of the leaderboard, but they're inexperience, and you

1274
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: wonder the teams below them. Are they below them because

1275
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: of all these different injuries. With Phoenix, with the Clippers,

1276
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: the Warriors, the Lakers, all those four teams have going

1277
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: into the playoffs a much healthier roster. With Phoenix, Kevin Durant,

1278
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, Devin Booker, John Dread and the Clippers they

1279
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: don't know when Paul George is coming back, but at

1280
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: least Kawhi Leonard is playing beyond load management workload. The

1281
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors Andrew Wiggins not coming back for the

1282
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: season finale, but expecting to be back for the playoffs,

1283
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be fully healthy. The Lakers, you never

1284
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: know if Lebron James and Anthony Davis can be durable,

1285
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: but they're back right now, and so you do wonder

1286
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: if those teams are healthy, can they rise above because

1287
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 1: on paper they have the most talent, but the realities,

1288
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: you also don't know if another injuries are behind the

1289
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: next door, so could be very turbulent to say the list.

1290

01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: want to throw it over the news desk, Steve de Seger,

1307
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: what's trending? My friend, Hello, and I think maybe we

1308
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: should not play the Arnie singing clip ever. Again, because

1309
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: that's just not kind to the listeners. There are some

1310
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 1: people that you heard that before, you know, I must

1311
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 1: have blocked it out. No, I don't think some people

1312
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: will have a good time going to sleep or attempting

1313
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: to go to sleep tonight after that. By the way,

1314
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:41,919
Speaker 1: by the way, Steve, you're with us tomorrow for Arnie

1315
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: and Plank? You bet you? Yeah? Okay, okay, so we

1316
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: might be hearing it tomorrow. Is there what preview of

1317
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 1: coming attraction already? We'ren Chris Plank. I have an audio

1318
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: biological weapon and I'm not afraid to use it again. Okay.

1319
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: And you're not telling Arnie in advance, absolutely not. Okay,

1320
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know what it was. Even if I told her,

1321
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: well the bad news, he'll probably start singing along. As

1322
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: I've said to Rob Parker and the Odd Couple. Why

1323
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: is it the people who can sing the least want

1324
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: to sing the most. That's what generally winds up happening. Well,

1325
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: mister Connecticut, you mentioned it earlier. The NCAA Hockey Championship

1326
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 1: was tonight. Quinnipiac pulled the goalie Lake at the time

1327
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: goal and then quickly beat one seed Minnesota in overtime

1328
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: three to the final. So congrats on that we do

1329

1410
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 1: good NBA knowledge that we're gonna talk a little Zion

1411
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:55,840
Speaker 1: because Zion. In the least surprising news, Ephort is not

1412
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 1: expected back on the court anytime soon. He has been

1413
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: out since January second, I believe, somewhere in early January

1414
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury, and earlier this week we got

1415
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: reports that he will not be available this week for

1416
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 1: the play in tournament. And you know, I don't I

1417
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: don't really know what there is to say at this point.

1418
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: He's played twenty nine total games, and I guess my

1419
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 1: stance on Zion, like part of me feels bad, like right,

1420
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he I don't think he actively doesn't want

1421
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 1: to play, but I'm just kind of over the updates,

1422
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 1: like I don't need the update, Like when he's back,

1423
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 1: just tell me and I'll be tuning in because he's

1424
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: an awesome basketball player. But at this point, it's like

1425
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I don't need the update to

1426
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: know he's not playing. I know he's not playing, so

1427
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: like I don't know. I don't know what to say

1428
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: about Zion. Like I respect him, he's a great player,

1429
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: but literally since his first game of Summer League, and

1430
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,839
Speaker 1: I remember because it was the night of my wedding

1431
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: and people were talking about it. There was actually an

1432
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 1: earthquake in Vegas that day, but it up because people

1433
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: are like, oh, Zion got pulled out of its first

1434
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 1: Summer League game, tweaks some sort of knee or hamstring

1435
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's been non stop since then. It hasn't

1436
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,240
Speaker 1: gotten better, And I'm just kind of the point, like

1437
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 1: I'm just over the Zion up state dates. Just when

1438
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:16,679
Speaker 1: he's playing. Let me know. I don't need a week

1439
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: by week, month by month. It's another two weeks before

1440
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 1: we're going to reevaluate. Just when he's playing, let me know.

1441
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,799
Speaker 1: Otherwise I'm over it. Yeah, you know, I tend to agree,

1442
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: and I hate it. I was on record, and I've

1443
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:30,920
Speaker 1: said it before. I thought Jaw was gonna end up

1444
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 1: with a better career than Zion because the league seems

1445
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 1: to have a whole lot more Jaws in it right

1446
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 1: now in terms of where it's going than Zions. And

1447
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: the other thing was I felt like Jaw had the

1448
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 1: chance to be healthier. Now they've both had their challenges.

1449
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 1: We know this. Zion can't stay healthy, and you know,

1450
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: Martin Medina said, they believe you know this is this

1451
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 1: one's not related to others. Okay, well, he's injured again,

1452
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 1: Like he's injured in another way again, twenty nine games,

1453
01:14:57,840 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, when he's out there, he's great. We

1454
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 1: know this. He's unbelievable as a basketball player. Twenty six

1455
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 1: seven and louis over four and a half assists a game,

1456
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 1: shoots over sixty from the field. Only played twenty four

1457
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,799
Speaker 1: games in his rookie year, had the knee surgery, fractured

1458
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: a finger last season near the end which made him

1459
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 1: miss the Pelicans first round playoff series which they lost

1460
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:25,639
Speaker 1: to Phoenix, and then now this year, twenty nine games. Again,

1461
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: you're right, I don't want the updates either. I want

1462
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 1: you to tell me Hey, Zion Williamson is coming back

1463
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: on April the eleventh, and I'll be there to watch it.

1464
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: Because Zion is great when he is healthy. I'm just

1465
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 1: never gonna buy and I could not build around him

1466
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: if I were a team like it would be so

1467
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:47,719
Speaker 1: hard to do. He is the guy, Like at this point,

1468
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 1: this is going to sound like I'm just like lambasking

1469
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 1: or joking about it. It's not really the case. But

1470
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: he's the guy that needs load management for the first

1471
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: six months of the season. You need to have a

1472
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: team that's good enough to get to the playoffs where

1473
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 1: Zion can just kind of play the last ten games

1474
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: of the regular season, get warmed up, and then play

1475
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Because that's about all he's got in

1476
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 1: him that. I mean that, at least to this stage

1477
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 1: of his NBA career, that's about all you can count on.

1478
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 1: Like you, he can barely even play your regular season

1479
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: if you want him for the playoffs, I don't know

1480
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do with that if you're the

1481
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: Pelicans or any other NBA team in the future. I

1482
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 1: hate this. I want to see this dude play because

1483
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: he can flat out ball when he's out there. He does.

1484
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 1: He's scintillating. He's incredible to watch. But the things that

1485
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: make him so incredible and scintillating are the things that

1486
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: also let his body deteriorate, Like the way he plays

1487
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 1: and the way his body is built don't match particularly well.

1488
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 1: That explosion off the floor that's so amazing. He lands

1489
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: really hard. He puts a lot of strain on the joints,

1490
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: he puts a lot of strain on the muscles, and

1491
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: at times he's been in very good shape, not generally

1492
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: in his NBA career, not compared to what we saw

1493
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: at Dukes. Certainly we saw even before he got to Duke.

1494
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,600
Speaker 1: But he's a guy that I don't think it's just conditioning.

1495
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 1: I just think his body is not meant to take

1496
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: the beating that his style puts on it. And as such,

1497
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: I think this is going to continue to be the

1498
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 1: story of Zion Williamson, his lack of availability. Let me

1499
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:24,919
Speaker 1: ask you a question. I'm gonna do the Arnie Spaniard.

1500
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: I think that's the theme of the show. Just do

1501
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 1: the Arnie Spaniard and I'm gonna I'm gonna do the

1502
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: question that Arnie always asks, which is like I'm gonna

1503
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:33,640
Speaker 1: ask you a question It's impossible to answer, but I'm

1504
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 1: gonna ask it anyway. The last time that Zion has

1505
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 1: essentially been healthy for any extended period of time. He

1506
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:42,720
Speaker 1: did have a good year a couple of years ago,

1507
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: but for the most part, like he was healthy at Duke.

1508
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 1: Now he blew out the shoe and they sat him

1509
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 1: for an extended period of time. Here's my question. Is

1510
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: it possible? And it's a tough one because I don't

1511
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: I think the Pelicans are trying to do what they

1512
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: believe that what's best, right, But is it possible that

1513
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 1: like all of the starting, stopping and the ramping up

1514
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: and then ramping down, and like, you know, I even saw,

1515
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 1: you know, what's his face, the general manager, David Griffiths say, like,

1516
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 1: you know we're going to you know, you can see

1517
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,640
Speaker 1: that he's just not mentally ready yet. It's like I

1518
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: do wonder if there's something to just like let him

1519
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,760
Speaker 1: go play with like no minutes restrictions and no we're

1520
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,600
Speaker 1: gonna you know, Like I guess what I'm trying to

1521
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: say is all of this medicine and technology and you

1522
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: see these players now, like Anthony Davis doesn't play back

1523
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: to backs, right, Like I do wonder if if like

1524
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: maybe that's not the best way, right. I'll just give

1525
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: you a random example, but I remember Eric Dickerson hearing

1526
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 1: this story from him former NFL great obviously does some

1527
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:48,799
Speaker 1: stuff here with the Fox Sports radio affiliate in LA,

1528
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: and he said the worst season that he had as

1529
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 1: a professional was a year in which he held out

1530
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:59,599
Speaker 1: during training camp. And he basically said, like, my body

1531
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: was on a routine, it was on a regiment, and

1532
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: it threw me off to not have a normal off season,

1533
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: a normal training camp and normal this, a normal that.

1534
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: And I just wonder, like there was no minutes restrictions

1535
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: at Duke. There was no coach k saying, you know what,

1536
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:16,680
Speaker 1: we're playing three games this week, and you know we're

1537
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 1: playing in the Maui Invitational, so we're gonna give him

1538
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: off the second round so that he's ready for the

1539
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: championship game. It was just like, no, you just play

1540
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: every night, and you play unless you're in foul trouble,

1541
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: and there was no problem. I know it's impossible to ask,

1542
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 1: but I wonder if this is one of those where

1543
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: it's like you're trying to do the right thing because

1544
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 1: this is what some spreadsheet says, and it's like, why

1545
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 1: he can't stay healthy? It seems counterintuitive, but I think

1546
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,040
Speaker 1: there might be something there all right. So I thought

1547
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 1: the way they handled him in his rookie season was abhorrent.

1548
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 1: I just thought it was dumb, Like it just didn't

1549
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: make you say, why go draft the guy if you're

1550
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 1: not going to play the guy? Sure, and don't argue

1551
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: for the future and all this. You don't know what

1552
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 1: the future is gonna look like. And now we've seen

1553
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: what the future looks like. I mean, I think there

1554
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 1: is something to it, right, like a weird argument or

1555
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 1: a weird place to go here. And I'm not really

1556
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: I'm not making this argument, but I'm explaining part of

1557
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 1: the argument. One of the reasons why those that are

1558
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: opposed to vaccines are opposed to it is because the

1559
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,559
Speaker 1: idea that your immune system is now weak because it's

1560
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 1: never had to fight anything off. Right, I'm illiterate when

1561
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: it comes to directions anywhere, Like I can't find anything

1562
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: on my own because I'm so used now to a GPS.

1563
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:27,640
Speaker 1: When I was in high school, I had to know

1564
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 1: where I was going or I was going to get lost.

1565
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 1: Now I've gotten stupid because something else has kind of

1566
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 1: taken it away. So if you're taking away practice time,

1567
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 1: if you're taking away reps, if you're taking away all this,

1568
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 1: then you should expect that your body is not going

1569
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 1: to be in top physical form. And when you just

1570
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: try to flip that switch, especially at the highest level imaginable,

1571
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: don't be surprised when the performance can't match it. And

1572
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't mean what he does on the floor. I

1573
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 1: mean all of a sudden, carburetor goes. All of a sudden,

1574
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: everything's gone and you're not out there anymore. There could

1575
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: be he sumthing to it. I think it's at least

1576
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: an intriguing observation. Yeah, I think there's there might be

1577
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 1: something to it. And I'll give you a quick example

1578
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: because we gotta get a break here. But like the

1579
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 1: year Steven Strausburg, remember like they tried to, oh you know,

1580
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 1: he's on a pitch limit, Well, we gotta get him

1581
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: ready for the future. That was literally the best season

1582
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 1: that he ever had. Nationals had a chance to win

1583
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,280
Speaker 1: the World Series, but they didn't. Fox Sports radio er

1594
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 1: really quick, Um, you know one thing we haven't talked.

1595
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 1: We kind of briefly touched on it, but obviously I

1596
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: was out last week. I was in Houston for the

1597
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 1: final four. Arnie Spanier filled in with with you last week. UM,

1598
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 1: you know you're a college hoops guy. You love college hoops.

1599
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 1: You grew up on tobacco road. Uh, you know, spend

1600
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:19,840
Speaker 1: some time you know whatever, you grew up on tobacco road. UM.

1601
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,679
Speaker 1: I have my perspective on this UKON national championship. Fifth

1602
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 1: in school history, first since twenty fourteen, h third under

1603
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 1: three different head coaches. But uh, like like when you

1604
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 1: look back on this run, this tournament whatever, it's interesting.

1605
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 1: I was talking to Martin and VJ prior to our

1606
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 1: show starting and they kind of joked with me, Uh,

1607
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, Tours, you're probably the only one who enjoyed

1608
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: this tournament. Well, I think it was a great tournament. Um,

1609
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 1: I will readily admit that the big brands that you

1610
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 1: know you hope to see play deep into March weren't there.

1611
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: I know that's something that we talked about a few

1612
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 1: weeks ago when I was last on air. You kind

1613
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,440
Speaker 1: of clinched the final four spot, but so had Florida. Atlantic.

1614
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,679
Speaker 1: Knew it was either going to be San Diego State

1615
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 1: or Craton in one region, Miami or Texas in the other,

1616
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: So you knew how the final four was potentially shaping up.

1617
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 1: But one, overall, what'd you make of this tournament? And

1618
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 1: then two more specifically, like, when you think about this

1619
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 1: six game run from Yukon, what's the first thing that

1620
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 1: comes to mind? I mean, I still thought the tournament

1621
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. We talked about it a lot,

1622
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: and we don't need to rehash all of it, but this,

1623
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:28,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it proves the point that I've

1624
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 1: made for years that I think your head and your

1625
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:36,720
Speaker 1: heartner are in different spots, and then they reverse themselves

1626
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: or they actually sync up once you get to the

1627
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 1: final four. We cheer four. Want the chaos. That's what

1628
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 1: drives Thursday and Friday. Thursday and Friday was always chalk

1629
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:49,680
Speaker 1: the first weekend of the tournament. I'm talking about if

1630
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 1: that was always chalk every time. We never saw upsets.

1631
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: We never saw these teams we'd never seen before beat

1632
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 1: established brands. People aren't taking off work. It's not the

1633
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:03,720
Speaker 1: event that to become So you have to like, that's

1634
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 1: what you want that weekend. You're wanting all of that.

1635
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:10,280
Speaker 1: But the problem is that the results of that then

1636
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: influence how much enjoyment you're gonna get deeper into the tournament.

1637
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 1: And there is a point, I don't know if it's

1638
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen, I don't know if it's a lead eight.

1639
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a lead eight where there's a certain degree

1640
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,640
Speaker 1: of brand that you need, that you just crave, that

1641
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 1: you want, and we didn't get it in this tournament.

1642
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 1: And we knew we probably weren't going to going in.

1643
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: We're just this is the most open tournament. And we

1644
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: decried the fact that that's said every year and then

1645
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 1: said no this year. Legitimately you can make that claim

1646
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 1: because I don't know who's good everybody's had. I mean, look,

1647
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: Ukon dominated the tournament, but Ukon had about an eight

1648
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 1: game stretch somewhere in there that I think was bookended

1649
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 1: by losses to Xavier, if I'm not mistaken, where they

1650
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: just kind of fell apart there and you couldn't trust

1651
01:24:57,600 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: them either. You couldn't trust anybody going into the tournament.

1652
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: You knew there were some talented teams. Who was gonna

1653
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: put it together, who was gonna get hot? Well, Yukon

1654
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 1: got hot and they won the tournament. They were a

1655
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,800
Speaker 1: deserving champion because they were a team that was a

1656
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 1: top three ranked team at times during the season. It's

1657
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:14,600
Speaker 1: not like they came out of nowhere and one a

1658
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 1: horrible tournament. They didn't have to run through a bunch

1659
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 1: of one seats because the one seats couldn't get there.

1660
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: It's still it shows just how difficult that tournament is

1661
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,679
Speaker 1: to win. So I look at it and I say,

1662
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: Yukon's a deserving champion because they were good before the tournament.

1663
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 1: We knew what they were capable of and they had

1664
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 1: some stars that really really showed up and showed out.

1665
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 1: They were well coached, and they were just better than

1666
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: everybody in the tournament. Is it like an iconic, greatest

1667
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 1: tournament of all time? No, But it had its moments.

1668
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 1: We had a one seed go down, a two seed

1669
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 1: go down in the same tournament. A lot of things

1670
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 1: happened in this tournament. It was a great enjoyable experience.

1671
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 1: I will tell you though, if I wasn't doing this

1672
01:25:57,560 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: for a living, I'm probably not watching that final four.

1673
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: It's just it's just not a thing. And I watched

1674
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 1: every minute of the National Championship game as well. On

1675
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 1: Monday Now, I watched it on replay. I watched it

1676
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:09,840
Speaker 1: later on in the evening. I dv ard it so

1677
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: I could just kind of skip through the commercials and

1678
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: speed through it a little bit faster. But I watched

1679
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:17,679
Speaker 1: the game and I appreciated the heart of San Diego State.

1680
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm also not surprised that it ended up being the

1681
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 1: score that it was, so I'm kind of going back

1682
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 1: and forth here. I thought it was an entertaining tournament,

1683
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 1: but it proved the point that you do need some

1684
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: star power once you get to a certain level in

1685
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 1: that tournament, and we didn't have it that year. I

1686
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:36,720
Speaker 1: don't disagree with any of that, you know, and it

1687
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: stinks too. And I'll say this, it does stink because

1688
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 1: being around those teams and covering the final four, like

1689
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 1: State's a great group of guys, like, like, you know,

1690
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 1: they're they're all you know for people to I think

1691
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 1: everybody knows, but you know, everybody has an extra year

1692
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: because of COVID. The NCAA gave everybody an extra year,

1693
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 1: so you had a lot of fifth and even in

1694
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 1: some cases sixth year guys on that San Diego State

1695
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,880
Speaker 1: team just grown ups. Like they were fun to be around.

1696
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 1: They appreciated the opportunity, guys that could have gone other

1697
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:09,599
Speaker 1: places to play more or better nil opportunities or whatever.

1698
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 1: But I also can't deny that they were an insanely

1699
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,120
Speaker 1: limited team and they weren't lucky to be there. They

1700
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 1: beat the number one overall seat in the tournament, Alabama.

1701
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 1: They you know, they beat good teams along the way,

1702
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 1: but they were like like they were a flawed team.

1703
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: And it was funny because on Monday, I mean, for

1704
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, I came on with Doug Gottlieb on these

1705
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: airwaves and like, I didn't want to be the homer

1706
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: Yukon guy, but I was like, I don't see the

1707
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,800
Speaker 1: scenario where San Diego State wins this game. I don't

1708
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a great National championship game.

1709
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 1: And that was essentially exactly what happened. What I would

1710
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 1: also say, though, is I don't think it should take

1711
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 1: away from what Yukon did. And you know, one of

1712
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 1: my big takeaways and there were no like amazing takeaways

1713
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 1: like last year when UNC upsets Duke and all that.

1714
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 1: But I will say, like you know, everybody complained about, oh,

1715
01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, these weren't the best teams and blah blah.

1716
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 1: It's like, well, you know, I don't know. Florida Atlantic

1717
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 1: had the most wins of any team in the tournament

1718
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: this year. Um, they finished the season with the most

1719
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:10,680
Speaker 1: wins of anybody. They entered with the most wins of

1720
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:14,679
Speaker 1: anybody in the tournament. Uh, Miami was the ACC champ.

1721
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,360
Speaker 1: Now I know that they're not Duke or Carolina, but

1722
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:19,680
Speaker 1: but you know, if that same group of guys is

1723
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: wearing a Duke uniform, people were talking about how great

1724
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: it is that how great they are, and Duke this

1725
01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 1: and and and you know, acc Champ that. But then

1726
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:30,920
Speaker 1: also what I would say is for everybody who says, oh,

1727
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, the tournament now is a crapshoot, and um,

1728
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 1: you know, it's not the right way. You know, it's

1729
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,679
Speaker 1: not that's not the right way to determine the best team.

1730
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 1: It's like, well, first of all, everybody, you know, I

1731
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:45,040
Speaker 1: was saying this all week, is like everybody's you know, oh,

1732
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 1: the tournament it's not what it used to be, and

1733
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 1: it's the worst way. It's not the right way to

1734
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 1: determine the champion. It's like, well, that Jim Valvano team

1735
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 1: where he's yelling and screaming and run around the court

1736
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 1: looking for somebody to hug was a sixth seed Villanova,

1737
01:28:56,400 --> 01:29:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, crying on the floor was an eighth seed. Uh, Danny, Yes,

1738
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:06,559
Speaker 1: it was a sixth seed exactly. And so so it's

1739
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:09,559
Speaker 1: not as though this tournament has always created, you know,

1740
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 1: has presented the best team has always won it. But

1741
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,680
Speaker 1: what I would also say is like Yukon was the

1742
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 1: best team, they just weren't a number one seed. Um,

1743
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 1: you know you mentioned that that that eight game stretch

1744
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 1: and You're right. They lost six of eight UM, and

1745
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:24,680
Speaker 1: it was interesting because you know, obviously I followed the

1746
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 1: team closer than most, But really all that really came

1747
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 1: down to was the schedule was probably tougher than people

1748
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:33,679
Speaker 1: realized at the time. They opened league play at Xavier

1749
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 1: will Xavier turned out to be a sweet sixteen team.

1750
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 1: Then they played at Providence, uh, and then they played

1751
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: at Marquette, which was the Big East regular season a

1752
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,679
Speaker 1: tournament champ, and so you had no idea that you're

1753
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,360
Speaker 1: literally playing three of the four best teams in the

1754
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 1: league on the road to open the season when it happens,

1755
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:50,639
Speaker 1: and so from there they lost a little bit of confidence.

1756
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:52,880
Speaker 1: But this was a team that started fourteen and Ozer

1757
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,640
Speaker 1: in the out of conference portion of play, finished the

1758
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 1: season obviously on a six game win streak. The sta

1759
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 1: that blows me away, Jason, it wasn't fourteen and oh

1760
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:03,880
Speaker 1: it was eleven, And oh, I take that back. How

1761
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 1: about this first stat Yukon finished in non Big East

1762
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:12,519
Speaker 1: games seventeen and Ozero with seventeen double figure wins. And

1763
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: so the only reason I bring it up is to say, oh,

1764
01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:18,640
Speaker 1: this is worst tournament ever, and it's like, well, you

1765
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 1: know it. We can debate was that the worst tournament

1766
01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 1: was at the best tournament. Would somebody other than San

1767
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 1: Diego State have made the championship more competitive? The answer

1768
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,400
Speaker 1: is probably yes. I do think the best team won

1769
01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:32,759
Speaker 1: it though, even if they weren't one seed. Yeah, and

1770
01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:35,360
Speaker 1: maybe if you if they play against one of the heavyweights,

1771
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:38,000
Speaker 1: they lose. I don't know. They played better than everybody

1772
01:30:38,040 --> 01:30:41,000
Speaker 1: in the tournament, and they looked better than everybody in

1773
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 1: the tournament. And you look at other teams around the

1774
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 1: same time that Yukon was losing those games, in the

1775
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:50,679
Speaker 1: middle of the year, Tennessee started losing every weekend perdue

1776
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 1: lost like three Sundays in a row or something like that.

1777
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 1: They ended up a number one seed. So again, there

1778
01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 1: were there were there were cracks in the armor everywhere.

1779
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:02,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you, And look, I don't think it

1780
01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 1: was a bad tournament. And really on the floor, the

1781
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:09,480
Speaker 1: first final four game was excellent and it had a finish,

1782
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:12,400
Speaker 1: and I mean that was a special game that I mean, yeah,

1783
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:15,519
Speaker 1: it didn't have the household names, but as an entertainment product,

1784
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: really good, like high end basketball. Those guys wanted it desperately.

1785
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 1: It sucked that one of those teams couldn't win that.

1786
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 1: There was one of those teams that wasn't going to

1787
01:31:25,479 --> 01:31:27,880
Speaker 1: be playing after that because they both really deserved it.

1788
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:31,040
Speaker 1: The way that they put forth that effort, it was outstanding.

1789
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 1: Second game wasn't good because Yukon was so much better,

1790
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:37,559
Speaker 1: and then the national championship wasn't good because Yukon was

1791
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: so much better. I don't think you can do anything

1792
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:42,839
Speaker 1: but just tip your cap to Yukon and just say

1793
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: they were just better. They were the best team. That's

1794
01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:48,200
Speaker 1: why what they're right there at the top of the

1795
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:50,639
Speaker 1: odds for next year as well. Like that's a really

1796
01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 1: talented basketball team and it's a brand that looks like

1797
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:57,880
Speaker 1: they're back in a way that I will say this also,

1798
01:31:57,960 --> 01:32:00,559
Speaker 1: and I'll get your thoughts on this, Aaron, the Big

1799
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,760
Speaker 1: East committing to basketball and just kind of waving the

1800
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 1: white flag on football, and it's been like, yeah, whatever,

1801
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:08,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna focus on basketball. What they have what three

1802
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:12,320
Speaker 1: national championships now, yes, since they made that deal and

1803
01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 1: that hadn't been I'm not talking this was thirty years ago, folks.

1804
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking it was like six years ago, and they've

1805
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:20,559
Speaker 1: won like three of these, so this has panned out

1806
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:23,639
Speaker 1: pretty well. And Dan Hurley, you know, it wasn't great

1807
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 1: for him in that first year. I was talking to

1808
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 1: or we were talking to Alice Caravan last week and

1809
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 1: I said, Hurley looks awfully calm and measured. Now how

1810
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 1: is he in the huddle? And he said, man, he

1811
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:39,080
Speaker 1: has grown a lot. And it's one of the things

1812
01:32:39,120 --> 01:32:42,360
Speaker 1: that we love. It gives us confidence because he's not

1813
01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 1: completely yelling and screaming and losing his mind. He's matured

1814
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 1: a bit. That team grew up right before our eyes

1815
01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 1: and they just kicked the crap out of everybody they played.

1816
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:53,559
Speaker 1: It's a great point knowing who you are, and I

1817
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:55,519
Speaker 1: think part of that is U kind knowing who it

1818
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 1: was too. Is that you know, when the Big East

1819
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:01,639
Speaker 1: broke up eight nine years ago, made the decision that

1820
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:03,920
Speaker 1: they had committed to Division one football, we're gonna go

1821
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:06,679
Speaker 1: to this thing called the AAC and it was a disaster.

1822
01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:08,960
Speaker 1: That that is one thing I'll say is a couple

1823
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 1: of things, is you know one first of all, I

1824
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:15,040
Speaker 1: think there's this notion I actually you know, I know

1825
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 1: we talked about it a few weeks ago when when

1826
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:20,160
Speaker 1: Yukon clinched to beat Gonzaga. And I actually asked Dan

1827
01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Hurley about this at the podium, is like, I think

1828
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 1: there's this perception that like, oh, it's Yukon, Well they

1829
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:27,680
Speaker 1: were always going to get back or this is just

1830
01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:31,400
Speaker 1: what Yukon does. And he's, like he said at the podium,

1831
01:33:31,439 --> 01:33:34,519
Speaker 1: He's like, it was really hard, Like Yukon was coming

1832
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:36,559
Speaker 1: off back to back losing seasons when he got there.

1833
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 1: Year one was a losing season. Um, and it was

1834
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: just one of those deals where it took a while

1835
01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:47,479
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like the Yukon that that we all

1836
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:50,120
Speaker 1: know and that we all remember from the the Calhoun days.

1837
01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 1: That wasn't when he took over and he talked about it,

1838
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 1: It's like the psyche wasn't right, the fan base wasn't

1839
01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:57,880
Speaker 1: right in terms of confidence, you're in this this weird

1840
01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:02,040
Speaker 1: geographical league. There weren't you come to Ukon expecting a

1841
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:05,559
Speaker 1: certain caliber player and it wasn't there. And so one,

1842
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 1: I give Dan Hurley credit because I think there's this assumption, well,

1843
01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:10,880
Speaker 1: anybody that got the Yukon job, I mean, anybody could

1844
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:13,839
Speaker 1: do this. It's like, no, it was a real uphill battle.

1845
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,240
Speaker 1: But then two, to your point about the basketball thing.

1846
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 1: I think it's a really, really, really interesting point. And

1847
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 1: I well, I was gonna say too, it's only going

1848
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 1: to continue as these other conferences expand and you get

1849
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:29,400
Speaker 1: further from from your roots. Right, It's like it's not

1850
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 1: it's not an Apple's apples thing. But like UCLA and USC,

1851
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:36,599
Speaker 1: I get it. It's a lot of money, but you're

1852
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: putting it's gonna be really hard to win at the

1853
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:42,559
Speaker 1: level that you're used to winning it pretty much everything

1854
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:46,880
Speaker 1: when you got to fly across country three, five, ten, twelve,

1855
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:48,960
Speaker 1: fifteen times a year, whatever it ends up being. So

1856
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to cut you off, but I think

1857
01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:53,599
Speaker 1: there is something too going back to your roots as

1858
01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 1: a conference, as a school, and I think as we

1859
01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:59,200
Speaker 1: expand further and everybody wants to cut of that pie,

1860
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of schools that are going

1861
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 1: to end up in this situation that Yukon did when

1862
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:05,519
Speaker 1: they were in the AAC. Yeah. Look, you have to

1863
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 1: own something, like you want to own property in something.

1864
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 1: What are you best at? We'll go after that thing,

1865
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:14,639
Speaker 1: Like what are you known for? Go after that thing? Yeah, man,

1866
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:16,640
Speaker 1: we really wish man football. There's so much money in

1867
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 1: football yeah, but we can win in basketball. We got

1868
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:21,760
Speaker 1: history in basketball, we got tradition in basketball. You know,

1869
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:24,280
Speaker 1: we could we could put a lot of effort in that,

1870
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:26,920
Speaker 1: on that side of the aisle, and maybe we could

1871
01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 1: actually really make a dent. Nobody's challenging the SEC in

1872
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:32,760
Speaker 1: a big ten, especially not the new version of it

1873
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:35,719
Speaker 1: and everything else that's happening. So let's go own something else.

1874
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 1: Let's go find something else. Let's not just go be

1875
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:41,280
Speaker 1: another news channel that says the same thing every other

1876
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 1: news channel says, because we're just taking a piece of

1877
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 1: that audience. Let's go somewhere completely different that's in some

1878
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 1: ways been forgotten about compared to what it was twenty

1879
01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 1: thirty years ago. Somewhere in that neighborhood. Let's go there

1880
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:57,200
Speaker 1: and let's own that. Let's bring that back in, Let's

1881
01:35:57,240 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: remind people what we used to do there, and let's

1882
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:02,200
Speaker 1: make that fun again. And that's what they did, and

1883
01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:06,879
Speaker 1: it worked, and it's big and Yukon again, hugely deserving champions.

1884
01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:08,679
Speaker 1: I don't care who they played, and they did play

1885
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:11,600
Speaker 1: some nice brands along the way, but it's not that

1886
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 1: they won, it's that they annihilated people every single time

1887
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 1: in a way that was just massively impressive. Well yeah,

1888
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 1: two quick things on that one. That's why I think

1889
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 1: you can sit there and say at the end they

1890
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 1: were the best team, because if they were just a

1891
01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:30,599
Speaker 1: four seed that got there and there was a buzzer

1892
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 1: beater along the way and somebody else's best player filed out, okay,

1893
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 1: but this was a team that got up to number

1894
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 1: two in the polls in late December. Everybody deemed them

1895
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 1: to be the best team in the country at that point,

1896
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 1: had some bumps along the way, then they dominated the

1897
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,840
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament as well. And lastly, what I'll say is,

1898
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, and shout out to FS one for having

1899
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:52,599
Speaker 1: some foresight on this, but you know that that Big

1900
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:55,240
Speaker 1: East brand it's not going anywhere. Yukon has officially re

1901
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:57,720
Speaker 1: established itself. And then something I know we talked about

1902
01:36:57,760 --> 01:36:59,759
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, Ri Petino being at Saint John's.

1903
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 1: You can like Rippetina, you can hate him, but it's

1904
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:04,160
Speaker 1: good for the league and obviously Georgetown now having an

1905
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 1: established head coach and Ed Cooley as well. I think

1906
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,519
Speaker 1: the best. I can't say the best when you've won

1907
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,439
Speaker 1: three titles in a ten year period. I can't sit

1908
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:14,720
Speaker 1: here and say the best is yet to come. But

1909
01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 1: this whole thing ain't slowing down anytime soon. Fox Sports

1925
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:11,040
Speaker 1: All right, Jason, Before the break, we're talking a little

1926
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:14,880
Speaker 1: bit about the men's National Championship earlier this week Yukon

1927
01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:19,280
Speaker 1: taking care of business against San Diego State. But on

1928
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:21,680
Speaker 1: the day before, I'll say this, man, it was a

1929
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 1: compelling women's final four record ratings. Nine point nine million

1930
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:30,320
Speaker 1: viewers watched the Women's final LSU and IOWA. Obviously, Iowa

1931
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:32,760
Speaker 1: pulled off the big upset against South Carolina in the

1932
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,840
Speaker 1: semifinals on Friday. But I bring it all up to

1933
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:40,680
Speaker 1: say the stories were more after the game, where there

1934
01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:43,160
Speaker 1: was the back and forth with Kayton Clark and Angel Reese,

1935
01:38:44,240 --> 01:38:47,960
Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff going on. But then there was

1936
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:52,519
Speaker 1: the real controversy where our first Lady, Joe Biden invited

1937
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:58,440
Speaker 1: both teams to the White House IOWA and LSU. IOWA. Ultimately,

1938
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark said, you know, appreciate the invite, but you

1939
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 1: know the White House is for champions. Angel Reese says, well,

1940
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 1: we're not going now, We'll go see the Obamas. Then,

1941
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: of course she eventually relented. LSU will at some point

1942
01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:13,280
Speaker 1: go to the White House. What did you make of

1943
01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 1: the first Lady just handing out the Oval office and

1944
01:39:18,280 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 1: the White House lawn as a participation trophy for finishing

1945
01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 1: in second place, Jason Martin, I make of it exactly

1946
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:26,960
Speaker 1: the way you just describe it, because that's what I

1947
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:33,120
Speaker 1: was about to say. It's participation, ribbon, participation, trophy stuff.

1948
01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:36,040
Speaker 1: This ain't what this is like. If you're a champion,

1949
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:39,439
Speaker 1: you likely get invited to the White House. That's the

1950
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:42,080
Speaker 1: way it's been. I've always wanted to see that go away,

1951
01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:45,120
Speaker 1: by the way, and I've talked about this before, but

1952
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:48,200
Speaker 1: the reason why is because it forces, especially in the

1953
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 1: case of a more controversial president, it forces questions about

1954
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:57,920
Speaker 1: why you're not going, why you are going, or it

1955
01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:00,519
Speaker 1: makes you think you have to have some hake on it,

1956
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:02,559
Speaker 1: some opinion on it. Somebody's going to ask you a

1957
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:07,080
Speaker 1: question if you go, are you tacitly endorsing something, all

1958
01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 1: of those kinds of things. I think it just puts

1959
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 1: guys in a bad spot that don't want to be there,

1960
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:13,800
Speaker 1: in this case, women that don't want to be there.

1961
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 1: But there's no reason to ask guy, I would it go.

1962
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:18,960
Speaker 1: I get that Caitlyn Clark was a Player of the Year.

1963
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:21,839
Speaker 1: I understand that. Understand the game she had against South Carolina.

1964
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:24,360
Speaker 1: The ratings there being what they were, made a lot

1965
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:26,680
Speaker 1: of sense. You had an undefeated South Carolina team, that's

1966
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 1: dominated women's basketball for basically two seasons against the player

1967
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:31,960
Speaker 1: of the year, and she goes out and has forty

1968
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: one points, and you had people calling each other and saying, hey,

1969
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:37,120
Speaker 1: you might want to tune in. This thing's getting close.

1970
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 1: And then you have more and more people showing up

1971
01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:43,479
Speaker 1: late in the game watching that. And then you get LSU,

1972
01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:47,559
Speaker 1: who's a team that has some personality to it, certainly

1973
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 1: some charisma to it. Similar to Caitlin Clark, you get

1974
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:52,640
Speaker 1: kind of the mix that you want, and then you

1975
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:55,720
Speaker 1: don't get a game that's particularly close any end, but

1976
01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 1: you get the storylines after it. Caitlyn Clark's response is

1977
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:01,880
Speaker 1: the right response. The White House is for winners, so

1978
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:05,360
Speaker 1: we're not gonna go thanks, but no thanks. Angel Reese

1979
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:09,839
Speaker 1: saying what she said about the Obama's you know whatever,

1980
01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:12,960
Speaker 1: like I understand where she was going with that, and

1981
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 1: she even you know, she played that card as well.

1982
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:17,799
Speaker 1: I don't think that she needed to do that, because

1983
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it is Jill Piden. If it had

1984
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:24,360
Speaker 1: been reversed, she would she would not have asked LSU.

1985
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't really think that's it. I just think this

1986
01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:28,760
Speaker 1: just shows that Jill Biden's a little bit out of

1987
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:32,479
Speaker 1: touch when it comes to this and that. Sometimes in

1988
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:35,320
Speaker 1: this form of equity that's out there, it's like, oh,

1989
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 1: but you guys played such a good game though, it's like, right,

1990
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:40,759
Speaker 1: but they lost. In fact, they lost by double digits.

1991
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:43,680
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, you invite the champions, you say,

1992
01:41:43,720 --> 01:41:46,880
Speaker 1: what a great game both teams played, But here's your champion, LSU,

1993
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:48,960
Speaker 1: they're on their way to the White House. This was

1994
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 1: a mistake, a kerfuffle caused by Joe Biden getting over

1995
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:57,200
Speaker 1: her skis. It was unfortunate. It was kind of you

1996
01:41:57,320 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 1: needed Benny Hill music, Curb your Enthusiasm music beneath it

1997
01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: because it was cringe. It led to the obvious horrible

1998
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:06,800
Speaker 1: takes on all sides, and at least Caitlin Clark got

1999
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 1: it right. And then Angel Reese is like, yeah, okay, Ls,

2000
01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 1: she's gonna come to the White House. So it ended

2001
01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:13,519
Speaker 1: up not being a big deal. But it's an eye

2002
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:16,880
Speaker 1: roll because somebody get a hold of the first lady,

2003
01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:19,519
Speaker 1: you know, one of her handlers, one of the people

2004
01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 1: that's supposed to know the things she doesn't have time

2005
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:25,559
Speaker 1: to know or not to know, and inform her how

2006
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 1: this is supposed to work and why so she doesn't

2007
01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 1: put her foot in her mouth again. Yeah, you know,

2008
01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 1: maybe because I was traveling, I missed some of this

2009
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:35,840
Speaker 1: new cycle. Do we ever get and I'm asking them

2010
01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:37,840
Speaker 1: tossing it right back to you, do we ever get

2011
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:41,800
Speaker 1: clarification on why? I mean, was it just something in passing? Like, hey,

2012
01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:44,280
Speaker 1: you know Iowa, you could show up too if you want, Like,

2013
01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:47,479
Speaker 1: was there a specific reason why they deemed this to

2014
01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:50,240
Speaker 1: be the one. I'm just curious because I don't know.

2015
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:52,519
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's just a weird deal overall. It

2016
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 1: is weird. And no, I mean, she just said both

2017
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:57,200
Speaker 1: teams played such a good game. We would love to

2018
01:42:57,240 --> 01:42:59,360
Speaker 1: have Iowa as well. It's just dumb, like it's just

2019
01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 1: a bad It was just bad. It was right for

2020
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:07,519
Speaker 1: awful speculation all over the place. And it's hard to

2021
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:10,559
Speaker 1: disprove speculation in many cases because it's not like we

2022
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 1: know what was in Jill, Bob and or heart. In

2023
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:17,800
Speaker 1: this case, this was just this was an unforced error

2024
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:21,400
Speaker 1: like this this thing. All you had to do was nothing,

2025
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:29,000
Speaker 1: and instead you did something and caused the problem. Well, yeah, yeah,

2026
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 1: they played hard, that's fine, but only one gets to

2027
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:33,040
Speaker 1: go to the White House. And I think you pretty

2028
01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:36,920
Speaker 1: much summed up most of all my thoughts Jason, is that, um,

2029
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not somebody that's gonna come on here

2030
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:42,200
Speaker 1: and just you know, bash the current White House for

2031
01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:44,800
Speaker 1: the sake of doing it. But I do think that

2032
01:43:44,880 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 1: it was probably done with the intent of, oh, trying

2033
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:49,720
Speaker 1: to keep everybody happy. And you know how it is

2034
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:52,080
Speaker 1: when you try to keep everybody happy, everybody ends up

2035
01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 1: getting upset. But yeah, I thought it was weak and

2036
01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:56,840
Speaker 1: I and I also think, you know, first of all,

2037
01:43:56,840 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 1: say this, I thought your point on just stop it

2038
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:01,639
Speaker 1: inviting people to the White House. I mean, it used

2039
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:03,680
Speaker 1: to be this great honor and now, you know, like

2040
01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:06,479
Speaker 1: everything else in life, has become political. And like you said,

2041
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:09,360
Speaker 1: is that teams turn things down. And then when the

2042
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, some of the team wants to go, but

2043
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:13,519
Speaker 1: half the team doesn't want to go, it's just a weird, weird,

2044
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:17,240
Speaker 1: weird ceremony, I guess. But but yeah, no, I thought

2045
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:19,760
Speaker 1: it was weak by the White House. And you know,

2046
01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 1: like you said, I credit Angel, not Angel Reese. Excuse me,

2047
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:26,640
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark for basically acknowledging. Yeah, no, that's ridiculous. And

2048
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:29,719
Speaker 1: yes I do credit Angel Reese as well for coming

2049
01:44:29,720 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 1: around and probably doing what was right regardless of what

2050
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:36,240
Speaker 1: she wanted to do. Regardless. So Fox Sports Radio errant

2051
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 1: towards Jason Martin broadcasting live from the tirect dot com studios,

2052
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:43,599
Speaker 1: coming up interesting story out of the NFL. Will discuss

2053
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:46,519
Speaker 1: that next before we do, though, no's desk to say

2054
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 1: or what's trending. So we're saying somebody from the political

2055
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:53,760
Speaker 1: realm stumbled because they're out of touch with real people. Yes, yes,

2056
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:57,559
Speaker 1: never happened. By the way, as we predicted on the

2057
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:00,879
Speaker 1: show last weekend, it was, as your reference, a record

2058
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:04,320
Speaker 1: TV rating for Women's March Badness nearly ten million viewers.

2059
01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 1: A little context, that's only slightly below the Rose Bowl

2060
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,840
Speaker 1: audience this past year. That's only slightly below what the

2061
01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:15,559
Speaker 1: final round of the Master's got a year ago. So yes,

2062
01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 1: very very impressive. And one other note for mister Quinnipiac

2063
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:23,040
Speaker 1: Tonight Stats Inc. Says Connecticut is now the second state

2064
01:45:23,080 --> 01:45:25,439
Speaker 1: to win the title at the Final Four and the

2065
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:29,559
Speaker 1: Frozen Four in the same year. Apparently Wisconsin nineteen seventy

2066
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:34,280
Speaker 1: seven with Marquette and Wisconsin Badgers. I was gonna guess

2067
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 1: it like Wisconsin or well, I was thinking Ohio, like

2068
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:42,360
Speaker 1: they won those back to back football or basketball championships

2069
01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:46,400
Speaker 1: in like the sixty sixties. Yeah, Jerry Lucas, Yeah, that

2070
01:45:46,439 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 1: would have been my guest. But somewhere in the Big

2071
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:50,840
Speaker 1: Ten foot part by the way, to say, did you

2072
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:53,599
Speaker 1: see the stat The Big Ten is the only power

2073
01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:59,679
Speaker 1: Chris our five conference. Yeah that that uh does Division

2074
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:01,960
Speaker 1: one high and they haven't won a championship since like

2075
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:04,880
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven or something like that. So it's

2076
01:46:04,880 --> 01:46:08,759
Speaker 1: not just football and it's not just basketball. ECAC keeps

2077
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:11,759
Speaker 1: piling them up on the ice. Yes, so Chris Fannini,

2078
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:14,280
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, it was Reddit CFB says the Big

2079
01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:17,479
Speaker 1: Ten is the only power conference to sponsor men'si's hockey.

2080
01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:20,400
Speaker 1: They have not won a championship since two thousand and episode.

2081
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:23,080
Speaker 1: There you go onto the title for the Tampa bay Rays,

2082
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 1: no doubt. Eight and Oz start with the eleven nothing

2083
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:28,599
Speaker 1: win against Oakland ten and sixteen thousand. By the way,

2084
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 1: Randy arozarain a home run in four RBI's time in

2085

Speaker 1: the game two hours twenty minutes, as the A's had

Speaker 1: just three Seattle a three two winner at Cleveland Attendance

2087
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:41,200
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand, as the Guardians left twelve men on base.

2088
01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:44,360
Speaker 1: Mets and Red Sox each one. Today, Kansas City a

2089

Speaker 1: six five winner at San Francisco, scoring on a wild

2090

Speaker 1: pitch in the top of the ninth and in the

2091
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:51,599
Speaker 1: bottom of the top of the eighth inning. Salvador Perez

2092
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:54,559
Speaker 1: had hit a three run homer. Case was two and

2093
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 1: six time in that game. Two hours twenty three minutes

2094
01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:00,120
Speaker 1: at Philadelphia, Phills had been two and five on the

2095
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:02,559
Speaker 1: early season, but scored three runs bottom of the ninth

2096
01:47:02,560 --> 01:47:05,759
Speaker 1: to edge Cincinnati three to two. Minnesota and the Cubs

2097

Speaker 1: with wins and the White Sox one eleven to five

2098
01:47:09,080 --> 01:47:12,000

01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:14,800
Speaker 1: late game went to the Angels over Toronto nine to five.

2100
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:17,120
Speaker 1: Blue Jays had one four in a row Mike Trout

2101
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:21,400
Speaker 1: a three run homer. The NBA regular season ends tomorrow afternoon.

2102
01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:24,680
Speaker 1: All teams will be in action today wins for Minnesota

2103
01:47:24,720 --> 01:47:26,640
Speaker 1: and the Clippers. A note on the Clippers. They will

2104
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:29,679
Speaker 1: avoid the play and tournament with a win tomorrow at Phoenix.

2105
01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 1: In the NHL, all teams were in action all thirty

2106
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:36,400
Speaker 1: two today and tonight. Most hockey teams will finish the

2107
01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 1: regular season next Thursday night. But Boston was home this

2108
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:42,160

Speaker 1: victory number sixty two on the season, tying the league record.

2110
01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 1: Boston's at Philadelphia on Sunday night. Yes, the Masters is

Speaker 1: due to conclude tomorrow. First they'll have to finish up

2112
01:47:52,680 --> 01:47:55,639
Speaker 1: Round three. Brooks Kepta leads by four strokes over John

2113
01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:58,240
Speaker 1: rom Play was suspended for a second straight day due

2114
01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 1: to bad weather. Tiger Woods early made the cut and

2115
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 1: he's now nine overpar Free h and wide receiver Odell

2116
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 1: Beckham will meet with the Jets again on Monday, and

2117
01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:10,320
Speaker 1: Fox TV will have a Cup Series NASCAR Race Easter

2118
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 1: Sunday Nights seven pm Eastern Time tomorrow from Bristol. They

2119
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:17,479
Speaker 1: had the Truck Race undert tonight one by dominated by

2120
01:48:17,760 --> 01:48:21,920
Speaker 1: Joey Legano in Bristol, Tennessee. Speaking of the state of Tennessee,

2121
01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:24,360
Speaker 1: I must bring up the double a ball game of

2122
01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:29,120
Speaker 1: the Chattanooga Lookouts tonight. They were playing a doubleheader in Alabama,

2123
01:48:29,240 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 1: and since it was a twin bill, it was seven

2124
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:34,719
Speaker 1: innings each game. They're playing against the dreaded Rocket City

2125
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:38,240
Speaker 1: Trash pandas they're good this year, that is correct. Chattanooga

2126
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,439
Speaker 1: was down three nothing final inning and getting no hit.

2127
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:44,960
Speaker 1: With one out in the final inning, they have bases

2128
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:48,280
Speaker 1: loaded thanks to three walks, and then the next guy

2129
01:48:48,320 --> 01:48:50,800
Speaker 1: strikes out, so two outs in the finally one out

2130
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:53,920
Speaker 1: away from a no hitter, and then a walk brings

2131
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,439
Speaker 1: home the first run, and then a pop up to

2132
01:48:56,520 --> 01:49:00,280
Speaker 1: center dropped by the center fielder. All three runs or

2133
01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:04,479
Speaker 1: Chattanooga takes the lead four three without a hit. Still,

2134
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:09,000
Speaker 1: next batter hit by pitch, Next batter hit by pitch

2135
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:12,799
Speaker 1: to load the bases, next batter hit by pitch. Another

2136
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:17,360
Speaker 1: run comes across, next one walks, another run, next one

2137
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:21,120
Speaker 1: I hit five pitch. Finally a strikeout to end the inning.

2138
01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:24,639
Speaker 1: Chattanooga holds on for a victory of seven to five

2139
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:30,200
Speaker 1: and never got a hit in the entire game. Seven runs,

2140
01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:34,960
Speaker 1: no hits. They were over twenty three at the plate.

2141
01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:38,840
Speaker 1: In Major League history, going back over a century, no

2142
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:42,160
Speaker 1: team had allowed more than four runs while pitching a

2143
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:45,000
Speaker 1: no hitter. I remember the game Yankees when they were horrible,

2144
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 1: even with Don Mattingly horrible in nineteen ninety, they gave

2145
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:50,519
Speaker 1: up four runs bottom of the eighth and a Windy

2146
01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 1: White Sox game and lost four nothing. Even though they're

2147
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:55,960
Speaker 1: starting pitcher Andy Hawkins threw a no hitter, they lost

2148
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:58,880
Speaker 1: four nothing. There was a second game in that double

2149
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:02,479
Speaker 1: a double header toon Chattanooga lost three nothing and I

2150
01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:05,759
Speaker 1: had only one hit in that game. One for twenty

2151
01:50:05,760 --> 01:50:10,000
Speaker 1: two with thirteen strikeouts. Astounding back to you, Thank you

Speaker 1: of note that was very interesting this week. So Tyreek

2159
01:50:33,479 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 1: Hill in an interview with a KC radio station. I

2160
01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:41,880
Speaker 1: will I won't read the Actually we do have the sound,

2161
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:44,280
Speaker 1: so rather than me reading it, let's just hear what

2162
01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill had to say. I'm going for Tim Man.

2163
01:50:46,520 --> 01:50:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna finish out this contract with the Dolphins man

2164
01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:50,840
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna call it quiz. You know, I

2165
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:52,479
Speaker 1: want to I want to go into the business side.

2166
01:50:52,560 --> 01:50:53,760
Speaker 1: I want to, like, I want to do so many

2167
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:55,479
Speaker 1: things in my life. Bro, I really want to get

2168
01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 1: into like the gaming space, Like I really want to

2169
01:50:58,080 --> 01:50:59,920
Speaker 1: get huge and that, and that's kind of what I'm

2170
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:03,040
Speaker 1: right now. I'm using my platform creating a gaming team,

2171
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:05,880
Speaker 1: which isn't lunch yet the ship lunch by the end

2172
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:08,360
Speaker 1: of this mind so running gaming. I'm gonna just sign

2173
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:12,559
Speaker 1: like different content creators and different athletes. That was Tyreek

2174
01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:16,160
Speaker 1: Hill on Sports Radio eight ten. In case, Jason, I'll

2175
01:51:16,200 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 1: say this, I'm all for everybody you know, having interests

2176
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:23,639
Speaker 1: outside of their career path. Don't know if I love

2177
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 1: that if I'm a Dolphins fan. One, because he'll only

2178
01:51:25,439 --> 01:51:27,800
Speaker 1: be thirty one and very much you know if he

2179
01:51:27,960 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 1: if he fulfills this, but he'll only be thirty one,

2180
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 1: and even as a wide receiver, I think we'll have

2181
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:37,200
Speaker 1: many good years ahead of him. But two, like, you know,

2182
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:39,080
Speaker 1: you still got to keep the main thing the main thing.

2183
01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:41,000
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to win a Super Bowl and I

2184
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:42,720
Speaker 1: got you, and I traded for you, and I gave

2185
01:51:42,760 --> 01:51:44,160
Speaker 1: you a lot of money to help me win. One

2186
01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 1: of those bad boys. What's you make of this? U?

2187
01:51:46,760 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 1: This interview with Tyreek Hill, I was fascinated by it.

2188
01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:55,840
Speaker 1: I there's a ton of money in e sports. I

2189
01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 1: mean a ton of money. Tyreek Hill knows what he's

2190
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:02,240
Speaker 1: talking about, and he says, you know, I'm putting together

2191
01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:04,720
Speaker 1: a team and I'm looking at content creators and all this.

2192
01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:09,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of scratch out there. And once you

2193
01:52:09,120 --> 01:52:11,040
Speaker 1: get into that space and it works for you, if

2194
01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:13,200
Speaker 1: it clicks for you, that thing can become an obsession

2195
01:52:13,240 --> 01:52:15,799
Speaker 1: real quick. I know some other guys in the NFL

2196
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:19,880
Speaker 1: who already we're looking towards that in the future, and

2197
01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 1: when it came down to it, when they thought about retiring,

2198
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:23,519
Speaker 1: they were like, you know what, I can just jump

2199
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:26,599
Speaker 1: into esports. I enjoy this, so I'll do this. Tyree

2200
01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:29,400
Speaker 1: Hill being thirty one, Tyree Hill at thirty one might

2201
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:31,439
Speaker 1: be different than other guys at thirty one because so

2202
01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:34,799
Speaker 1: much of what Tyree Hill is about is his speed.

2203
01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:37,840
Speaker 1: The thing that makes him one of one, the thing

2204
01:52:37,840 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 1: that makes him so special and probably a Hall of Famer,

2205
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:46,679
Speaker 1: is that speed. I don't think that he's telling you there,

2206
01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be as fast when I'm thirty one,

2207
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:52,120
Speaker 1: but that is something we might find out maybe that

2208
01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he won't be quite as fast at

2209
01:52:55,439 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 1: thirty one. This could also be leverage, It could be negotiation, public,

2210
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:02,880
Speaker 1: it could be any it could be any number of things.

2211
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:05,160
Speaker 1: And of course the guy could just change his mind

2212
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:08,000
Speaker 1: and this could be absolutely what he believes today and

2213
01:53:08,160 --> 01:53:09,960
Speaker 1: a year, year and a half from now he's like, nah,

2214
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:12,040
Speaker 1: I need to play another couple of years. Not because

2215
01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 1: of the money involved, because at some point, when you

2216
01:53:15,200 --> 01:53:18,160
Speaker 1: get to Tyree Hill's level, you've made enough money that

2217
01:53:18,240 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: if you want to walk away, it's not like you're

2218
01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:23,120
Speaker 1: making this decision that's going to cost your family or

2219
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:26,479
Speaker 1: anything like that. I'll be curious to see where we

2220
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:28,519
Speaker 1: are in twenty twenty five when that thing comes to

2221
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:31,080
Speaker 1: an end. But the other part of your point is

2222
01:53:31,080 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 1: the reason why I'm so fascinated by it, which is,

2223
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:36,800
Speaker 1: if you're a Miami fan, or maybe more so than

2224
01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:39,880
Speaker 1: anything else, if you're a decision maker with the Miami Dolphins,

2225
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 1: how do you feel right now? Because you know what

2226
01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:44,840
Speaker 1: you gave up. You know what you did to get

2227
01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill there that was probably not to get him

2228
01:53:48,120 --> 01:53:50,200
Speaker 1: for a year or two, to get him to the

2229
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:52,200
Speaker 1: end of a deal where you're still maybe trying to

2230
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 1: figure out long term who's going to be the quarterback,

2231
01:53:55,120 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 1: because this year is all good. It's gonna be about

2232
01:53:57,080 --> 01:53:58,840
Speaker 1: to his health, not his talent. It's gonna be about

2233
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:01,080
Speaker 1: his health as to what your decision is going to

2234
01:54:01,160 --> 01:54:03,720
Speaker 1: be long term there and Tyree kills it at least

2235
01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 1: indicating that he's wavering on his future, not because he

2236
01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:10,920
Speaker 1: can't play, but because he's got other interests. And look,

2237
01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:13,680
Speaker 1: you can look at a football player's career and say,

2238
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:15,400
Speaker 1: once you've made enough money, if you can get out

2239
01:54:15,400 --> 01:54:18,360
Speaker 1: and you're still walking and everything's good, then maybe you've

2240
01:54:18,400 --> 01:54:20,040
Speaker 1: gotten out of it all that you feel you need

2241
01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:22,719
Speaker 1: to What does he have left to do? He's won

2242
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:25,880
Speaker 1: multiple Super Bowls or he's won a Super Bowl with

2243
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:28,400
Speaker 1: his career, He's a guy that is probably a Hall

2244
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:32,760
Speaker 1: of Famers. He's gonna have options if he wants those options.

2245
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:35,120
Speaker 1: I'll be curious to know when we get to the

2246
01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:37,760
Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty five, at the end of that season,

2247
01:54:37,760 --> 01:54:40,800
Speaker 1: at the end of this contract, where he is then,

2248
01:54:40,960 --> 01:54:43,200
Speaker 1: because I think it's easy to say now and be

2249
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:46,080
Speaker 1: really infatuated with this new world and the esports and

2250
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:48,880
Speaker 1: all this. Is it gonna stick? Is it? The thing?

2251
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:51,320
Speaker 1: That's gonna drive you two years from now that that's

2252
01:54:51,320 --> 01:54:54,760
Speaker 1: gonna be the story and it'll be interesting to follow. Yeah,

2253
01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:56,560
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, it's it's hard for me

2254
01:54:56,640 --> 01:54:58,960
Speaker 1: to like go all in on him. Like, you know,

2255
01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 1: guys are allowed to have interests outside of the sport,

2256
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:04,200
Speaker 1: but obviously, you know, when you're being paid a lot

2257
01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:06,480
Speaker 1: of money. When the Dolphins traded a lot of equity

2258
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:09,360
Speaker 1: to get you, you know, the hope would be that

2259
01:55:09,400 --> 01:55:11,880
Speaker 1: you're going to give him, you know, until there's nothing

2260
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 1: left in the tank but remains to be seen. And

2261
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,840
Speaker 1: as you said, this season specifically is really about what

2262
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:19,120
Speaker 1: can TWOA bring to the table and can he stay

2263
01:55:19,160 --> 01:55:22,040
Speaker 1: healthy and what is a very important season for not

2264
01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:24,160
Speaker 1: only two of but the organization as a whole. Fox

Speaker 1: update to Sega. What do you got, Hello, gentlemen, And

2280
01:56:18,680 --> 01:56:20,760
Speaker 1: we did talk a lot about the Masters and got

2281
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:22,680
Speaker 1: at that end in the first hour, So let me

2282
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:25,960
Speaker 1: get to this baseball. It's appropriate that the Padres are

2283
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:29,040
Speaker 1: playing the Braves this weekend because it's a big anniversary

2284
01:56:29,120 --> 01:56:33,280
Speaker 1: for each franchise. Tonight is, for the Padres, the anniversary

2285
01:56:33,320 --> 01:56:36,760
Speaker 1: of their first ever game April eighth, nineteen sixty nine

2286
01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:40,560
Speaker 1: as an expansion team, and tonight in not just Braves history,

2287
01:56:40,560 --> 01:56:43,080
Speaker 1: but American sports history. One of the great moments of

2288
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:46,800
Speaker 1: the last fifty years occurred in nineteen seventy four. Near

2289
01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:50,720
Speaker 1: fifty years ago. Henry Aaron involved. He had finished the

2290
01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:54,800
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three baseball season with exactly seven hundred thirteen

2291
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:58,400
Speaker 1: career home runs, one short of Babe Bruce all time record,

2292
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:02,480
Speaker 1: so on opening Day nineteen seventy four at Cincinnati, he

2293
01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:06,040
Speaker 1: homered tied the record. The next day was a Saturday,

2294
01:57:06,280 --> 01:57:09,080
Speaker 1: NBC made it the National Saturday Game of the Week

2295
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:11,920
Speaker 1: and the Braves didn't play him. He sat out Game

2296
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:15,320
Speaker 1: two of the season. He did play the Sunday afternoon

2297
01:57:15,400 --> 01:57:18,160
Speaker 1: Game three of the season, did not homer when oh

2298
01:57:18,200 --> 01:57:20,520
Speaker 1: for three at Cincinnati, and then they're going home. It's

2299
01:57:20,520 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 1: going to be a Monday night home opener in Atlanta,

2300
01:57:23,240 --> 01:57:26,000
Speaker 1: hosting the Dodgers, who wound up winning the Pennant that year,

2301
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:30,160
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers faced with al downing on the mound.

2302
01:57:30,640 --> 01:57:33,840
Speaker 1: Henry Aaron in his first at bat and needless to say,

2303
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:37,040
Speaker 1: with booze they walked him. In the first at bat

2304
01:57:37,040 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 1: of the night, he scored on a double by Dusty

2305
01:57:39,880 --> 01:57:42,840
Speaker 1: Baker and the Braves took the lead. Now by the

2306
01:57:42,880 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 1: bottom of the four second at bat of the night

2307
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:47,760
Speaker 1: for Aaron, the Braves were trailing three to one. The

2308
01:57:47,880 --> 01:57:50,320
Speaker 1: leadoff hitter in that frame for the Braves reached on

2309
01:57:50,400 --> 01:57:53,960
Speaker 1: an air hank. Aaron came up after ball one and

2310
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:57,000
Speaker 1: more booze from the crowd for quote not pitching to him.

2311
01:57:57,280 --> 01:58:03,520
Speaker 1: This happened, that fall has got a bit out of her.

2312
01:58:04,160 --> 01:58:08,320
Speaker 1: It's gone. It's seven fifteen. There's a no home run

2313
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:11,920
Speaker 1: champion of all time and it's Henry Aaron. That was

2314
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:15,720
Speaker 1: April eighth, nineteen seventy four. This is the anniversary. That

2315
01:58:15,800 --> 01:58:19,560
Speaker 1: was longtime baseball announcer Milo Hamilton with the call. Now

2316
01:58:19,600 --> 01:58:23,360
Speaker 1: that was the Monday night baseball game as well nationally

2317
01:58:23,480 --> 01:58:26,400
Speaker 1: for NBC. So there is a Kurt Gouty call of

2318
01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:32,800
Speaker 1: that hit from MLB balls at deep deep that has gone.

2319
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:37,520
Speaker 1: They did up, they get up, then we arm it

2320
01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:41,360
Speaker 1: was the all time home run. Later all it was

2321
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:43,880
Speaker 1: on Joe Garshol in the booth that night as well

2322
01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:46,520
Speaker 1: with Kurt Gouty. And now with the Dodgers as the

2323
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:50,000
Speaker 1: visiting team, who's on the call for visiting Radio one

2324
01:58:50,040 --> 01:58:52,800
Speaker 1: ball and nose ranks Aaron waiting you out feel deep

2325
01:58:52,800 --> 01:58:55,840
Speaker 1: and straight away half fall of the high drive of

2326
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:58,640
Speaker 1: the deep left cunner field. Fuck the go back to

2327
01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:07,320
Speaker 1: the fine firty god and then the great Vince Gully

2328
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:12,560
Speaker 1: just let the crowd play on radio nearly thirty seconds.

2329
01:59:13,200 --> 01:59:17,280
Speaker 1: Let him go Vince Gully as a kid adored hearing

2330
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:20,160
Speaker 1: crowd noise on the radio. Used to sit on his

2331
01:59:20,240 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 1: back as a kid under the old radio and just

2332
01:59:22,760 --> 01:59:27,000
Speaker 1: listen to the crowd noise. Then he rejoined here. What

2333
01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 1: a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for

2334
01:59:32,120 --> 01:59:35,880
Speaker 1: Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment

2335
01:59:36,040 --> 01:59:39,240
Speaker 1: for the country in the world. A black man is

2336
01:59:39,280 --> 01:59:43,400
Speaker 1: getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking

2337
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:47,480
Speaker 1: a record of an all time baseball idol, and it

2338
01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:51,080
Speaker 1: is a great moment for all of us and particularly

2339
01:59:51,160 --> 01:59:55,000
Speaker 1: for Henry Aaron. Vince Gully on Dodgers Radio is so

2340
01:59:55,120 --> 01:59:57,800
Speaker 1: great to hear those again. Hank Aaron wound up not

2341
01:59:57,920 --> 02:00:00,720
Speaker 1: only the home run king for so much year's seven

2342
02:00:00,840 --> 02:00:03,760
Speaker 1: fifty five total for his career, he is still the

2343
02:00:03,920 --> 02:00:07,680
Speaker 1: leader in RBIs all time for his career nearly two thousand,

2344
02:00:07,760 --> 02:00:11,000
Speaker 1: three hundred. He was a career three zero five hitter

2345
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:14,280
Speaker 1: with the batting average. If you ever hear somebody having

2346
02:00:14,280 --> 02:00:17,760
Speaker 1: a record a conversation about records and the top ten

2347
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:19,840
Speaker 1: players of all time in the sport and they're not

2348
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:23,200
Speaker 1: talking about Henry Aaron, tell them to stop talking because

2349
02:00:23,240 --> 02:00:25,600
Speaker 1: if he's not in your top ten, you don't know

2350
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:28,760
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. As for the Padre anniversary, I

2351
02:00:28,800 --> 02:00:32,440
Speaker 1: looked it up. Their April eighth, nineteen sixty nine debut

2352
02:00:32,480 --> 02:00:36,240
Speaker 1: as an expansion team was a win one nothing over Houston.

2353
02:00:36,280 --> 02:00:39,440
Speaker 1: Attendance was twenty three thousand for their first ever game.

2354
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:43,080
Speaker 1: The next night attendance was four thousand, and they won,

2355
02:00:43,200 --> 02:00:46,680
Speaker 1: and the next night attendance was about five thousand and

2356
02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:50,320
Speaker 1: they won. So the expansion Padres actually started three and zero,

2357
02:00:51,120 --> 02:00:53,600
Speaker 1: but the rest of the season they went forty nine

2358
02:00:53,680 --> 02:00:56,960
Speaker 1: and one ten And in fact, the Padres for about

2359
02:00:57,040 --> 02:01:00,480
Speaker 1: the first decade as a franchise didn't have a winning record,

2360
02:01:00,800 --> 02:01:03,280
Speaker 1: and for the first twenty years as a franchise went

2361
02:01:03,320 --> 02:01:06,720
Speaker 1: to the playoffs once, and that was highlighted by Steve

2362
02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:10,240
Speaker 1: Garvey's game winning homer in the playoffs against the Cubs.

2363
02:01:10,280 --> 02:01:13,520
Speaker 1: They wound up winning the LCS, which we referenced the

2364
02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:16,440
Speaker 1: last couple of weekends on the show. That's probably one

2365
02:01:16,480 --> 02:01:18,840
Speaker 1: of the few San Diego sports moments that would be

2366
02:01:18,880 --> 02:01:23,040
Speaker 1: ahead of what Aztext Basketball just did. Thank you very much,

2367
02:01:23,080 --> 02:01:25,640

2378
02:02:02,400 --> 02:02:06,480
Speaker 1: to talk about a busy, busy, busy week across sports. Jason,

2379
02:02:06,520 --> 02:02:09,840
Speaker 1: let's start where we started the show today. So obviously, look,

2380
02:02:10,520 --> 02:02:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a fun week for sports fans,

2381
02:02:13,440 --> 02:02:17,160
Speaker 1: the final four leading into the Masters. But it's been

2382
02:02:17,640 --> 02:02:21,080
Speaker 1: just a weird week in Augusta. It's nobody's fault. But obviously,

2383
02:02:21,200 --> 02:02:26,040
Speaker 1: yesterday we had the tree situation. Play was suspended yesterday.

2384
02:02:26,080 --> 02:02:28,240
Speaker 1: This was excuse me, I, she would say Friday today

2385
02:02:28,240 --> 02:02:30,120
Speaker 1: in some parts of the country, it's already Sunday, but

2386
02:02:30,680 --> 02:02:35,720
Speaker 1: play suspended Friday. And then today on Saturday or on Saturday,

2387
02:02:35,760 --> 02:02:39,560
Speaker 1: depending on where you are. We had another situation where

2388
02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:45,000
Speaker 1: the broadcast of CBS CBS spent all morning, you know,

2389
02:02:45,280 --> 02:02:49,240
Speaker 1: replaying different Masters you know, specialty features and all that

2390
02:02:49,320 --> 02:02:52,240
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But they didn't get to live on

2391
02:02:52,440 --> 02:02:56,920
Speaker 1: the course play until three o'clock Eastern time, and unfortunately,

2392
02:02:56,920 --> 02:03:00,680
Speaker 1: at three fifteen Eastern the wed there got so bad

2393
02:03:00,720 --> 02:03:02,880
Speaker 1: that they had to call round three. As the sager

2394
02:03:02,960 --> 02:03:05,800
Speaker 1: just told you, play will resume, the end of round

2395
02:03:05,880 --> 02:03:09,960
Speaker 1: three will start at eight eight o'clock Eastern tomorrow, with

2396
02:03:10,040 --> 02:03:13,040
Speaker 1: the final round starting round two o'clock Eastern or so.

2397
02:03:13,480 --> 02:03:15,520
Speaker 1: I bring it up to say, Jason, I understand that

2398
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 1: the Masters is an entity unto itself, but what I

2399
02:03:20,320 --> 02:03:24,960
Speaker 1: would also say is, you know, an incredible sporting event,

2400
02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:28,720
Speaker 1: the highest rated golf event every single year, and I

2401
02:03:28,800 --> 02:03:32,240
Speaker 1: think they the whole situation, you know, for people don't

2402
02:03:32,240 --> 02:03:35,480
Speaker 1: know augusta national really controls the TV windows and everything.

2403
02:03:36,080 --> 02:03:38,440
Speaker 1: But they had a chance this morning to capture a

2404
02:03:38,560 --> 02:03:42,040
Speaker 1: national audience early as they resumed round two this morning

2405
02:03:42,040 --> 02:03:45,440
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning, and they don't get live broadcasting until

2406
02:03:45,480 --> 02:03:48,120
Speaker 1: three o'clock, have to go off air at three fifteen,

2407
02:03:48,200 --> 02:03:53,040
Speaker 1: just a disastrous day at Augusta National. Yeah, and as

2408
02:03:53,040 --> 02:03:57,520
Speaker 1: you said, Augusta National controls all of this. Even as

2409
02:03:57,560 --> 02:04:02,560
Speaker 1: recently is like two three years ago, I don't think

2410
02:04:02,560 --> 02:04:05,200
Speaker 1: that they could even broadcast the front nine at all

2411
02:04:06,120 --> 02:04:09,080
Speaker 1: on TV, and maybe they could do that on Sunday.

2412
02:04:09,880 --> 02:04:12,760
Speaker 1: Some of the most famous shots in Master's history were

2413
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:15,360
Speaker 1: not like like you had to watch those on tape

2414
02:04:15,360 --> 02:04:19,560
Speaker 1: delay because they weren't aired live. And I'm literally reading

2415
02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:22,320
Speaker 1: a response for somebody, and somebody asked the question, why

2416
02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:24,360
Speaker 1: is the TV schedule for the Master's always so limited?

2417
02:04:24,400 --> 02:04:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm reading in like a discussion and online forum and

2418
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:30,200
Speaker 1: somebody's like, man, it's pretty bad. It's pretty rad how

2419
02:04:30,200 --> 02:04:33,879
Speaker 1: they just demand complete control and call all the shots.

2420
02:04:33,880 --> 02:04:35,960
Speaker 1: Like this is the argument that always gets made back

2421
02:04:35,960 --> 02:04:39,000
Speaker 1: to me. It's just like it's special, it's a different tournament,

2422
02:04:39,400 --> 02:04:42,200
Speaker 1: Like it feels special because you can't watch it all

2423
02:04:42,320 --> 02:04:44,320
Speaker 1: or you have to go in these all these lengths.

2424
02:04:44,360 --> 02:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Like no, it's just saying it just seems antiquated and dumb.

2425
02:04:46,960 --> 02:04:49,800
Speaker 1: It seems elitist for the sake of being elitist. It's

2426
02:04:49,800 --> 02:04:52,360
Speaker 1: like we're gonna do this because we can. Okay, there's

2427
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:54,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things I can do that are also

2428
02:04:54,640 --> 02:04:58,960
Speaker 1: not particularly smart, like in this case, especially in a

2429
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:04,120
Speaker 1: golf landscape that, let's face it, in the post Tiger universe,

2430
02:05:05,040 --> 02:05:07,280
Speaker 1: there are a lot of folks that are still looking

2431
02:05:07,320 --> 02:05:09,600
Speaker 1: for the reason why they need to watch golf on

2432
02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:12,200
Speaker 1: a regular basis. There've been guys that have come through,

2433
02:05:12,480 --> 02:05:14,760
Speaker 1: but nobody's been able to just kind of maximize and

2434
02:05:14,920 --> 02:05:17,360
Speaker 1: stay there and stay at the top and look, Tiger

2435
02:05:17,360 --> 02:05:18,840
Speaker 1: made the cut, so you were going to have a

2436
02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:23,400
Speaker 1: little bit of Tiger Woods anyway. Today, this gets less

2437
02:05:23,440 --> 02:05:28,120
Speaker 1: excusable by the year. This is a tournament that my

2438
02:05:28,240 --> 02:05:31,160
Speaker 1: every other major pretty much from start to finish. Even

2439
02:05:31,200 --> 02:05:34,880
Speaker 1: when like TNT used to have the Open Championship and

2440
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:38,720
Speaker 1: the PGA, or at least the PGA, they would start

2441
02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:43,280
Speaker 1: broadcasting at like eight am on Thursday with the first

2442
02:05:43,280 --> 02:05:45,960
Speaker 1: t They'd have Ernie Johnson all set up at that

2443
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:49,200
Speaker 1: bow tie like my man was rhets to go the

2444
02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:53,200
Speaker 1: first pairing or the first trio. You know out there

2445
02:05:53,600 --> 02:05:56,800
Speaker 1: they would be broadcasting US Open, pretty elite tournament. You

2446
02:05:56,880 --> 02:06:01,120
Speaker 1: pretty much see that whole thing Open Championship and pretty

2447
02:06:01,120 --> 02:06:04,320
Speaker 1: elite tournament. You see that whole thing. The Masters is

2448
02:06:04,360 --> 02:06:06,800
Speaker 1: the one holdout, And I'm just trying to think, like,

2449
02:06:06,840 --> 02:06:10,960
Speaker 1: across sports, how much do we miss now others than

2450
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:13,720
Speaker 1: our own? Time constraints are because there's multiple games, like

2451
02:06:13,800 --> 02:06:16,760
Speaker 1: during Thursday and Friday basketball, you're gonna miss some unless

2452
02:06:16,760 --> 02:06:18,240
Speaker 1: you're at a bar and they're playing all the games.

2453
02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:20,680
Speaker 1: And even then you gotta have eyes all over the place,

2454
02:06:21,120 --> 02:06:24,200
Speaker 1: or you gotta have multiple screens all those things. But

2455
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:28,600
Speaker 1: barring something like that, what sporting events do we generally

2456
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:33,000
Speaker 1: miss outside of some random stupid blackout rule. Almost none.

2457
02:06:33,200 --> 02:06:36,280
Speaker 1: But you're gonna miss the premier event in your sport

2458
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:42,440
Speaker 1: because Augusta National says so okay that that makes no sense. Yeah,

2459
02:06:42,600 --> 02:06:45,560
Speaker 1: for people who don't really kind of understand. I mentioned

2460
02:06:45,560 --> 02:06:48,200
Speaker 1: it to lead the show at ten o'clock Eastern time,

2461
02:06:48,240 --> 02:06:52,280
Speaker 1: but Front Office Sports did a very good article today

2462
02:06:52,280 --> 02:06:55,000
Speaker 1: and I encourage everybody to check it out. Augusta National

2463
02:06:55,040 --> 02:06:58,480
Speaker 1: controls everything. If a broadcaster says something they don't like,

2464
02:06:58,560 --> 02:07:01,160
Speaker 1: they'll get the guy or girl pull off of the air.

2465
02:07:02,160 --> 02:07:05,160
Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned this earlier, but uh, in previous years,

2466
02:07:05,280 --> 02:07:08,200
Speaker 1: sponsors have pushed back on certain things and they've just said, okay, well,

2467
02:07:08,240 --> 02:07:11,680
Speaker 1: you're not our sponsor. Anymore and that they'll go sponsor

2468
02:07:11,720 --> 02:07:13,840
Speaker 1: free if if that's what needs to be I also

2469
02:07:14,120 --> 02:07:16,440
Speaker 1: I also saw this Jason, which I did not realize.

2470
02:07:16,880 --> 02:07:20,440
Speaker 1: CBS and ESPN are on one year contracts every year

2471
02:07:20,600 --> 02:07:23,320
Speaker 1: with Augusta. Basically, Augusta's like, you're not holding us over

2472
02:07:23,360 --> 02:07:25,920
Speaker 1: a barrel, We're holding you over a barrel. And basically

2473
02:07:25,960 --> 02:07:29,360
Speaker 1: CBS and and ESPN have to renew every single year

2474
02:07:30,040 --> 02:07:33,720
Speaker 1: for the right to maintain that broadcast, and so Augusta

2475
02:07:33,800 --> 02:07:36,840
Speaker 1: National does control everything. But this is one where I

2476
02:07:37,400 --> 02:07:39,160
Speaker 1: just think it was such a whiff. It was such

2477
02:07:39,200 --> 02:07:42,160
Speaker 1: a whiff. It was such a disappointment because, like I said,

2478
02:07:42,240 --> 02:07:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm on the West coast, so you know,

2479
02:07:45,120 --> 02:07:48,200
Speaker 1: I just wake up and I just kind of assumed

2480
02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:49,960
Speaker 1: it was gonna be on, especially and I understand that

2481
02:07:50,080 --> 02:07:53,920
Speaker 1: sometimes third and fourth round play, you know, they'll start

2482
02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:55,720
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the day, it's a smaller

2483
02:07:55,720 --> 02:07:58,480
Speaker 1: field to whatever. But knowing that they had to conclude

2484
02:07:58,560 --> 02:08:01,640
Speaker 1: round two, you know, I was almost like the perfect

2485
02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:04,880
Speaker 1: consumer for them. I was up, I was around the house,

2486
02:08:05,000 --> 02:08:07,200
Speaker 1: my wife was out at you know, my wife was out.

2487
02:08:08,320 --> 02:08:09,840
Speaker 1: You know, it'd be blunt. I really I kind of

2488
02:08:09,840 --> 02:08:11,880
Speaker 1: had nothing to do, right, Like, like, you know, so

2489
02:08:11,960 --> 02:08:14,600
Speaker 1: much of my saturdays and weekends have been consumed by

2490
02:08:14,640 --> 02:08:17,000
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament, and I was just looking for something

2491
02:08:17,040 --> 02:08:21,520
Speaker 1: to watch. And but I'm also the type of person that,

2492
02:08:21,880 --> 02:08:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna make me work for it,

2493
02:08:23,480 --> 02:08:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna do it. You know. I know

2494
02:08:25,560 --> 02:08:27,440
Speaker 1: there was an app that I could have downloaded, or

2495
02:08:27,480 --> 02:08:29,000
Speaker 1: a website that I could have gone to. It's like,

2496
02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:31,080
Speaker 1: I just want to try, you know, I'm not trying

2497
02:08:31,120 --> 02:08:33,920
Speaker 1: to be like angry old guy, but like I pay

2498
02:08:33,960 --> 02:08:35,800
Speaker 1: a lot for my TV services, like just put on

2499
02:08:35,920 --> 02:08:38,040
Speaker 1: this stupid match, to put on this stupid golf and

2500
02:08:38,080 --> 02:08:42,920
Speaker 1: so it was frustrating and and I just think it

2501
02:08:42,920 --> 02:08:44,520
Speaker 1: was a lost opportunity. I mean, I think it is

2502
02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:47,360
Speaker 1: a lost opportunity every year when people have to search

2503
02:08:47,440 --> 02:08:51,560
Speaker 1: on Thursday and Friday specifically. But today, the second round,

2504
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:54,320
Speaker 1: we're waiting for it to conclude. We want to watch it.

2505
02:08:54,480 --> 02:08:57,480
Speaker 1: Tigers still battling to try to make the cut. Fred

2506
02:08:57,560 --> 02:08:59,400
Speaker 1: Couples is trying to battle to make the cut, be

2507
02:08:59,440 --> 02:09:01,520
Speaker 1: the oldest person ever make the cut. Like there were

2508
02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:05,760
Speaker 1: interesting storylines on Saturday morning that could have so easily

2509
02:09:05,840 --> 02:09:10,040
Speaker 1: been broadcast they were not, And I just think it's

2510
02:09:10,040 --> 02:09:11,600
Speaker 1: a loss for the Masters. I think it's a loss

2511
02:09:11,600 --> 02:09:13,760
Speaker 1: for Augusta National. I think it's a loss for golf fans.

2512
02:09:13,760 --> 02:09:17,960
Speaker 1: I really do so. Before two thousand and two, the

2513
02:09:18,080 --> 02:09:21,760
Speaker 1: Front Nine wasn't even shown on Sundays. Yes, not even

2514
02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:28,080
Speaker 1: on Sundays. That is insanity, Like all of all of

2515
02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:31,120
Speaker 1: what you're saying, of course, is is a million percent right.

2516
02:09:31,280 --> 02:09:36,480
Speaker 1: It's just it's wild. It truly is just the idea

2517
02:09:36,600 --> 02:09:39,600
Speaker 1: that they have this much control and they wield it

2518
02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:42,600
Speaker 1: to this degree, and the one year contracts and all

2519
02:09:42,600 --> 02:09:46,960
Speaker 1: this other stuff. Two strange things that I never really liked.

2520
02:09:47,040 --> 02:09:49,480
Speaker 1: One because I didn't have the network growing up because

2521
02:09:49,480 --> 02:09:51,520
Speaker 1: we were not going to pay for that. And the

2522
02:09:51,600 --> 02:09:53,680
Speaker 1: other one was the Masters not being able to watch

2523
02:09:53,760 --> 02:09:56,800
Speaker 1: this tournament I love so much, or watch all of it.

2524
02:09:56,880 --> 02:09:58,480
Speaker 1: Not to be able to like take the day off

2525
02:09:58,480 --> 02:10:00,760
Speaker 1: on a Friday and watch the off because you don't

2526
02:10:00,800 --> 02:10:02,320
Speaker 1: need to worry about it because it's it's gonna be

2527
02:10:02,360 --> 02:10:05,000
Speaker 1: there after school, like your coverage will begin at four

2528
02:10:05,120 --> 02:10:07,280
Speaker 1: and that's if you're young. For us, we can't get

2529
02:10:07,280 --> 02:10:10,280
Speaker 1: to watch at all when we were kids. But it

2530
02:10:10,360 --> 02:10:14,440
Speaker 1: was the Masters and it was Wimbledon being broadcast on HBO.

2531
02:10:15,200 --> 02:10:18,840
Speaker 1: Those are the two strange things that I recall, and

2532
02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:21,000
Speaker 1: I hated it. I played tennis. Tennis was a sport

2533
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:23,760
Speaker 1: I lettered in in high school. And I could never

2534
02:10:23,760 --> 02:10:26,840
Speaker 1: watch Wimbledon except through like the snow that you get

2535
02:10:26,880 --> 02:10:30,080
Speaker 1: if you don't subscribe to HBO back in the day,

2536
02:10:30,560 --> 02:10:34,600
Speaker 1: the first week of that tournament, like NBC's coverage of Wimbledon,

2537
02:10:34,720 --> 02:10:38,000
Speaker 1: did not take over until the weekend, So the first

2538
02:10:38,040 --> 02:10:41,320
Speaker 1: five days of the tournament you had HBO or you

2539
02:10:41,320 --> 02:10:45,280
Speaker 1: didn't watch Wimbledon. I hated that. I hate this even

2540
02:10:45,360 --> 02:10:48,920
Speaker 1: more because this is not a premium channel. They're just

2541
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:52,840
Speaker 1: making it like obtuse and weird to watch their event.

2542
02:10:54,160 --> 02:10:56,840
Speaker 1: It's so true, it's so frustrating. The good news is

2543
02:10:56,920 --> 02:11:00,520
Speaker 1: Jason told us earlier they will be brought how nice

2544
02:11:00,560 --> 02:11:02,920
Speaker 1: of them. They will be broadcasting thank you, thank you

2545
02:11:02,960 --> 02:11:05,800
Speaker 1: for that. Yes, the end of the third round on

2546
02:11:05,880 --> 02:11:08,280
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, and then they'll take a quick break and

2547
02:11:08,680 --> 02:11:11,440
Speaker 1: pause and return for final round action at about two

2548
02:11:11,520 --> 02:11:15,320
Speaker 1: Eastern really quick. Jason, um you being much more of

2549
02:11:15,320 --> 02:11:19,440
Speaker 1: a golf expert or knowledgeable in the sport than I am.

2550
02:11:20,680 --> 02:11:23,200
Speaker 1: You know, really quick. Obviously brooks Kepko we talked about

2551
02:11:23,200 --> 02:11:27,320
Speaker 1: it earlier. Eight career PGA Tour wins, four of them

2552
02:11:27,360 --> 02:11:30,640
Speaker 1: coming in Major's, two PJA Championships, two US Open Championships.

2553
02:11:30,920 --> 02:11:34,000
Speaker 1: He does have a significant lead going into the final round.

2554
02:11:34,360 --> 02:11:36,800
Speaker 1: Is it safe to assume that that you know, not

2555
02:11:36,880 --> 02:11:40,200
Speaker 1: only it's literally his his tournament to lose, but it

2556
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:42,760
Speaker 1: would be shocking if anyone other than brooks Kepta ends

2557
02:11:42,800 --> 02:11:45,760
Speaker 1: up hoisting that that green jacket tomorrow, not not hoisting

2558
02:11:45,760 --> 02:11:47,840
Speaker 1: the green jacket, but throwing on the green jacket. I mean,

2559
02:11:47,880 --> 02:11:51,040
Speaker 1: we've seen some collapses at Augusta. We saw Greg Norman

2560
02:11:51,160 --> 02:11:56,640
Speaker 1: famously collapse um against Nick Faldo, and we saw Rory

2561
02:11:56,720 --> 02:11:59,720
Speaker 1: McElroy come apart on the back nine at Augusta once

2562
02:11:59,760 --> 02:12:03,120
Speaker 1: when he had a big lead. Kepka could just usually

2563
02:12:03,320 --> 02:12:06,680
Speaker 1: when he's in this spot cruises, he usually just shows

2564
02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:10,720
Speaker 1: up confidently in beats people. I expect that's what will happen.

2565
02:12:11,120 --> 02:12:14,040
Speaker 1: Will it be shocking if somebody just goes low and

2566
02:12:14,080 --> 02:12:16,640
Speaker 1: he has like a two over day and somehow somebody

2567
02:12:16,680 --> 02:12:21,200
Speaker 1: catches him. No. The one advantage that you have if

2568
02:12:21,200 --> 02:12:24,000
Speaker 1: you're not brooks Kepka is you can go out there

2569
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:27,320
Speaker 1: and post a low number or potentially even get in

2570
02:12:27,360 --> 02:12:29,120
Speaker 1: front of him on the leaderboard, and then he has

2571
02:12:29,160 --> 02:12:31,320
Speaker 1: to look at that for the rest of his round.

2572
02:12:31,760 --> 02:12:35,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes guys can crack under that pressure. Kepka seems to

2573
02:12:35,160 --> 02:12:38,280
Speaker 1: thrive under that pressure. I would be I would be

2574
02:12:38,680 --> 02:12:40,320
Speaker 1: if I had to bet on it, I'd say it's

2575
02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:42,640
Speaker 1: more likely his lead is bigger than four at the

2576
02:12:42,840 --> 02:12:45,200
Speaker 1: end than it is they lose us at the tournament.

2577
02:12:46,080 --> 02:12:49,600
Speaker 1: We will see again opening or excuse me. Final round

2578
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:53,000
Speaker 1: coverage should be getting about two pm Eastern tomorrow, assuming

2579
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:58,040
Speaker 1: there are no issues again. The third round was delayed

2580
02:12:58,080 --> 02:13:01,640
Speaker 1: because of weather that will zoom at eight thirty. The

2581
02:13:01,720 --> 02:13:04,720
Speaker 1: goal is to obviously be done in time to start

2582
02:13:04,720 --> 02:13:07,240
Speaker 1: the final round for the afternoon. It will all be

2583
02:13:07,280 --> 02:13:10,760
Speaker 1: broadcast by CBS. And I looked earlier only a twenty

2584
02:13:10,800 --> 02:13:13,720
Speaker 1: percent chance of rain, so hopefully we get in everything tomorrow.

Speaker 1: Bernie Fratto of The Bernie Fratto Show joins us. Bernie,

2599
02:14:07,240 --> 02:14:10,520
Speaker 1: my man, what's going on, guys, Good evening and for

2600
02:14:10,640 --> 02:14:14,320
Speaker 1: what it's worth. Steve de Sager's update on that famous

2601
02:14:14,320 --> 02:14:18,480
Speaker 1: Steve Garvey home run in San Diego Game four Cubs

2602
02:14:18,520 --> 02:14:21,240
Speaker 1: Padres nineteen eighty four. I was at that game. A

2603
02:14:21,240 --> 02:14:24,000
Speaker 1: good friend, Tim Flannery, had left me tickets. No, why

2604
02:14:24,000 --> 02:14:26,760
Speaker 1: do I bring this up? When Garvey homer the right center.

2605
02:14:26,840 --> 02:14:31,040
Speaker 1: I swear to God, that is the loudest stadium atmosphere

2606
02:14:31,280 --> 02:14:33,879
Speaker 1: I had ever heard of my life, including through today.

2607
02:14:34,440 --> 02:14:37,680
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Finals, NBA finals, everywhere have been anything I've

2608
02:14:37,680 --> 02:14:41,080
Speaker 1: covered I have never heard of stadium that loud, and

2609
02:14:41,160 --> 02:14:43,720
Speaker 1: it led a course to Game five with the famous

2610
02:14:43,880 --> 02:14:46,840
Speaker 1: error that Leon Bull Durham made. The ball rolled right

2611
02:14:46,920 --> 02:14:49,200
Speaker 1: up his arm put the Potteries in the World Series.

2612
02:14:49,280 --> 02:14:52,240
Speaker 1: Tim Flannery hit that ball and then they advanced to

2613
02:14:52,280 --> 02:14:54,560
Speaker 1: the World Series against my hometown Detroit Tigers. Were in

2614
02:14:54,600 --> 02:14:57,680
Speaker 1: Game two, Marty Castillo, one of our college roommates, hit

2615
02:14:57,680 --> 02:15:00,240
Speaker 1: a home run. So I love the circle of life

2616
02:15:00,240 --> 02:15:03,960
Speaker 1: and I love the Sayers updates. Well, I love you, Bernie.

2617
02:15:04,040 --> 02:15:06,720
Speaker 1: I want to hear about Vegas over the last month.

2618
02:15:06,760 --> 02:15:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously sports betting more and more popular NCAA tournament.

2619
02:15:11,520 --> 02:15:14,600
Speaker 1: I know the final four ratings from a TV perspective

2620
02:15:14,640 --> 02:15:17,440
Speaker 1: weren't great because they weren't huge brands. But how was

2621
02:15:17,560 --> 02:15:20,440
Speaker 1: Vegas over the last month with the tournament now concluded,

2622
02:15:21,160 --> 02:15:23,360
Speaker 1: and how were the How did the books do over

2623
02:15:23,400 --> 02:15:26,080
Speaker 1: the last month? As well? Books did okay? And what's

2624
02:15:26,120 --> 02:15:29,440
Speaker 1: interesting is Vegas was bonkers. The sports books were full,

2625
02:15:29,520 --> 02:15:33,800
Speaker 1: the hotels were packed, casinos were packed, but the handle

2626
02:15:34,120 --> 02:15:36,440
Speaker 1: was down a little bit. Actually was not great, and

2627
02:15:36,600 --> 02:15:40,440
Speaker 1: you maybe can cite the fact you didn't have blue bloods,

2628
02:15:40,440 --> 02:15:42,520
Speaker 1: although I do consider Yukon of Blue Blood. You know

2629
02:15:42,560 --> 02:15:45,880
Speaker 1: where I'm going with that. What's interesting is that it

2630
02:15:45,960 --> 02:15:48,800
Speaker 1: was very difficult. Here's our sharp the oddsmakers have become.

2631
02:15:48,840 --> 02:15:52,080
Speaker 1: There was sixty five games played in the tournament. Favorites

2632
02:15:52,120 --> 02:15:55,160
Speaker 1: when thirty two and thirty two, dogs when thirty two

2633
02:15:55,200 --> 02:15:58,680
Speaker 1: and thirty two, and there was one push. And what's

2634
02:15:58,720 --> 02:16:01,520
Speaker 1: interesting also that there were twenty seven overs and forty hundreds.

2635
02:16:01,520 --> 02:16:03,800
Speaker 1: But it started out eighteen and seven and corrected. So

2636
02:16:04,360 --> 02:16:07,520
Speaker 1: it was not an easy tournament to win betting wise.

2637
02:16:07,520 --> 02:16:09,600
Speaker 1: And I can speak from experience. You know, you win one,

2638
02:16:09,680 --> 02:16:12,680
Speaker 1: lose one, win, to lose one, win one, lose two,

2639
02:16:12,720 --> 02:16:14,760
Speaker 1: and it was That's just the way it was. But

2640
02:16:15,240 --> 02:16:16,800
Speaker 1: by the time we got to the final four, where

2641
02:16:16,800 --> 02:16:20,040
Speaker 1: we all rode Yukon for obvious reasons and to now

2642
02:16:20,440 --> 02:16:23,160
Speaker 1: you turn your attention to the Masters, and the betting's

2643
02:16:23,200 --> 02:16:26,160
Speaker 1: been pretty brisk. But there was one better. This is

2644
02:16:26,240 --> 02:16:29,320
Speaker 1: kind of crazy at bet MGM bet two hundred and

2645
02:16:29,320 --> 02:16:33,840
Speaker 1: twenty two thousand dollars to win two thousand dollars that

2646
02:16:33,959 --> 02:16:36,840
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods would not win the Masters. Believe it or not,

2647
02:16:36,879 --> 02:16:39,879
Speaker 1: that was a real bet. And another famous bet was

2648
02:16:39,920 --> 02:16:43,039
Speaker 1: Sam Bennett the youngster who was in third place right

2649
02:16:43,080 --> 02:16:45,360
Speaker 1: now six hunder. You could have got him at two

2650
02:16:45,360 --> 02:16:48,000
Speaker 1: thousand to one before the tournament and now he's forty

2651
02:16:48,000 --> 02:16:50,720
Speaker 1: to one. So how much action came in on Yukon

2652
02:16:52,000 --> 02:16:54,880
Speaker 1: once we knew the title game matchup? We knew there

2653
02:16:54,920 --> 02:16:56,360
Speaker 1: was going to be a lot and we saw them

2654
02:16:56,440 --> 02:16:58,880
Speaker 1: the number move a bit, Bernie, But just how much

2655
02:16:58,920 --> 02:17:02,720
Speaker 1: came in on Yukon. About seventy percent of the action

2656
02:17:02,959 --> 02:17:05,000
Speaker 1: was on Yukon In the final game, the line, the

2657
02:17:05,040 --> 02:17:07,480
Speaker 1: send off line was five and a half, It got

2658
02:17:07,520 --> 02:17:09,840
Speaker 1: to seven and a half and sat there it maybe

2659
02:17:09,879 --> 02:17:12,199
Speaker 1: touch date, not for very long. And some San Diego

2660
02:17:12,240 --> 02:17:15,360
Speaker 1: State support came in about San Diego State didn't get

2661
02:17:15,360 --> 02:17:17,200
Speaker 1: any of my money, even though I have tremendous respect

2662
02:17:17,240 --> 02:17:19,720
Speaker 1: for what they did. And there was actually a fair

2663
02:17:19,760 --> 02:17:21,840
Speaker 1: amount of money on the first half under and the

2664
02:17:22,120 --> 02:17:24,480
Speaker 1: under in the game, and both of those lost. So

2665
02:17:24,520 --> 02:17:25,959
Speaker 1: by the time you get to the final game, and

2666
02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:28,200
Speaker 1: obviously it's a standalone event, the handle was pretty good.

2667
02:17:28,480 --> 02:17:31,440
Speaker 1: But Yukon, they were represented well in the final four,

2668
02:17:32,000 --> 02:17:35,520
Speaker 1: most sharps, most coaches, most you know, PEP media people.

2669
02:17:35,560 --> 02:17:39,120
Speaker 1: The consensus was nobody was going to beat ukon burn.

2670
02:17:39,520 --> 02:17:43,920
Speaker 1: Let's let's start to look ahead really quick. Anything stand

2671
02:17:43,920 --> 02:17:46,400
Speaker 1: out about the NFL Draft. I know that's a huge

2672
02:17:46,520 --> 02:17:48,480
Speaker 1: night in terms of betting, in terms of props, in

2673
02:17:48,600 --> 02:17:50,080
Speaker 1: terms of all that. Have you had a chance to

2674
02:17:50,120 --> 02:17:53,280
Speaker 1: look at that market yet? Yeah? And both I think

2675
02:17:53,320 --> 02:17:55,600
Speaker 1: you and Jason mentioned that last week. There's been some

2676
02:17:55,760 --> 02:17:59,000
Speaker 1: movement for the first overall pick, and it's happening sooner

2677
02:17:59,040 --> 02:18:02,040
Speaker 1: than I thought it would. Last week at this time

2678
02:18:02,440 --> 02:18:05,920
Speaker 1: C J. Stroud was three fifty to be the first

2679
02:18:05,959 --> 02:18:09,160
Speaker 1: pick overall. By Thursday, had dropped to minus two eighty.

2680
02:18:09,240 --> 02:18:13,119
Speaker 1: By Friday it was minus one forty, and today he's

2681
02:18:13,160 --> 02:18:16,040
Speaker 1: about minus one thirty, which is fairly well even. And

2682
02:18:16,320 --> 02:18:18,800
Speaker 1: money has come in on Bryce Young, He's not plus

2683
02:18:18,840 --> 02:18:21,879
Speaker 1: one oh five. So right on Q, I think when

2684
02:18:21,879 --> 02:18:24,720
Speaker 1: you guys mentioned might have been Jason last week mentioned

2685
02:18:24,959 --> 02:18:27,840
Speaker 1: has there been any movement there? While Lo and Beholder

2686
02:18:27,879 --> 02:18:30,480
Speaker 1: hats and I'm not one hundred percent sure what's driving it.

2687
02:18:30,560 --> 02:18:33,640
Speaker 1: Although there's this faint rumor that even though North Carolina

2688
02:18:34,080 --> 02:18:36,640
Speaker 1: or North Carolina Carolina is sitting in the catbird seat

2689
02:18:36,720 --> 02:18:39,640
Speaker 1: via trade, they may trade back to number four and

2690
02:18:39,680 --> 02:18:41,960
Speaker 1: then number one slot could open up and I will

2691
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:45,280
Speaker 1: tell you every scout I talked to, every personnel director,

2692
02:18:45,320 --> 02:18:49,240
Speaker 1: I talked to every NFL officion aficionado I talk to

2693
02:18:49,560 --> 02:18:52,280
Speaker 1: believes and I do too, that Bryce Young is the

2694
02:18:52,320 --> 02:18:55,080
Speaker 1: better quarterback irrespective a size. So this is going to

2695
02:18:55,120 --> 02:18:57,840
Speaker 1: be fun to watch the draft, of course, three weeks

2696
02:18:57,840 --> 02:19:01,000
Speaker 1: from Thursday to be all kinds of props you'll be

2697
02:19:01,040 --> 02:19:02,560
Speaker 1: able to been on and we'll talk about that in

2698
02:19:02,720 --> 02:19:06,360
Speaker 1: upcoming shows. Yeah. Look, I have said that about Bryce

2699
02:19:06,400 --> 02:19:09,200
Speaker 1: Young as well. I know we agree on that one.

2700
02:19:09,200 --> 02:19:11,960
Speaker 1: What I saw, I saw what Jeremy Fowler ESPN and

2701
02:19:12,200 --> 02:19:14,320
Speaker 1: some other people suggesting that only a few people in

2702
02:19:14,440 --> 02:19:17,720
Speaker 1: Carolina's building know who they want to take. But there's

2703
02:19:17,760 --> 02:19:19,959
Speaker 1: been a lot of movement and a lot of conversation

2704
02:19:20,080 --> 02:19:23,400
Speaker 1: now about Bryce Young. How much do you buy into

2705
02:19:23,440 --> 02:19:25,360
Speaker 1: that other rumor though, the one that you just threw

2706
02:19:25,400 --> 02:19:27,840
Speaker 1: out there. How likely do you think it is that

2707
02:19:27,959 --> 02:19:30,640
Speaker 1: Carolina would do what they did only to then trade

2708
02:19:30,680 --> 02:19:34,720
Speaker 1: back to four. I think there's an eighty ninety percent

2709
02:19:34,800 --> 02:19:38,480
Speaker 1: chance they don't do that. But stranger things have happened

2710
02:19:38,480 --> 02:19:40,959
Speaker 1: in the draft, and I think what we're hearing, I

2711
02:19:41,000 --> 02:19:45,120
Speaker 1: think your sources are good. This is being mildly compared

2712
02:19:45,240 --> 02:19:47,560
Speaker 1: to two years ago, when I will go to my

2713
02:19:47,600 --> 02:19:51,720
Speaker 1: degree of believing that Kyle Shannahan wanted mac Jones and

2714
02:19:51,800 --> 02:19:54,240
Speaker 1: was talked out of it, and they drafted Trey Land.

2715
02:19:54,280 --> 02:19:59,440
Speaker 1: So I think there's some healthy conversation going on in

2716
02:19:59,480 --> 02:20:02,640
Speaker 1: the war room in Carolina. Some folks like Bryce Young,

2717
02:20:03,080 --> 02:20:05,560
Speaker 1: some folks like CJ. Strout, will just have to see

2718
02:20:05,560 --> 02:20:08,120
Speaker 1: what happens. So the only thing that would drive that

2719
02:20:08,280 --> 02:20:11,480
Speaker 1: moving back to number four is if they definitively, definitively

2720
02:20:11,520 --> 02:20:15,000
Speaker 1: decide that they don't need to get CJ. Strout number one,

2721
02:20:15,000 --> 02:20:17,080
Speaker 1: and they might look at looking at an Anthony Richardson

2722
02:20:17,520 --> 02:20:21,200
Speaker 1: whose stock has risen. I like Anthony Richardson, He's only

2723
02:20:21,240 --> 02:20:25,000
Speaker 1: started thirteen games. That's a red flag for me. Burn

2724
02:20:25,120 --> 02:20:27,760
Speaker 1: not asking you from a gambling perspective, because I know

2725
02:20:27,840 --> 02:20:30,040
Speaker 1: that you can't bet on this stuff here in the US,

2726
02:20:30,160 --> 02:20:33,640
Speaker 1: but just your perspective on Lamar Jackson. I wasn't here

2727
02:20:33,720 --> 02:20:35,840
Speaker 1: last week, so I wasn't able to hear your stance

2728
02:20:35,920 --> 02:20:39,640
Speaker 1: on the trade demand becoming public. We know also the

2729
02:20:39,720 --> 02:20:43,520
Speaker 1: non exclusive franchise tag, all that good stuff. Just where

2730
02:20:43,560 --> 02:20:46,720
Speaker 1: what do you think of the current situation and Frankly,

2731
02:20:46,720 --> 02:20:48,800
Speaker 1: where do you think Lamar Jackson, if he's playing this

2732
02:20:48,840 --> 02:20:50,320
Speaker 1: coming season, where do you think it's going to be.

2733
02:20:50,560 --> 02:20:54,040
Speaker 1: I think he'll be in Baltimore, And unless the Ravens

2734
02:20:54,080 --> 02:20:58,680
Speaker 1: come back to the table and or Lamar Jackson backs

2735
02:20:58,720 --> 02:21:03,680
Speaker 1: office stance, he'll have to play under the non exclusive tag. Look,

2736
02:21:03,720 --> 02:21:06,840
Speaker 1: I've said all along, guys, I think Lamar Jackson's fight

2737
02:21:06,920 --> 02:21:10,200
Speaker 1: has been misdirected because he's focused solely on the guaranteed money.

2738
02:21:10,560 --> 02:21:13,360
Speaker 1: In history shows the elite quarterbacks who get top tier

2739
02:21:13,400 --> 02:21:15,800
Speaker 1: deals and they're between the age of twenty five and

2740
02:21:15,879 --> 02:21:18,480
Speaker 1: twenty seven, they collect the full amount of the contract

2741
02:21:18,560 --> 02:21:22,880
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the time. When you consider today's medical advancements,

2742
02:21:23,520 --> 02:21:25,840
Speaker 1: you almost never have a situation where a quarterback has

2743
02:21:25,840 --> 02:21:28,120
Speaker 1: a career ending injury in orders a quarterback get cut.

2744
02:21:28,640 --> 02:21:31,840
Speaker 1: From Baltimore's perspective, all they've wanted to do is provide

2745
02:21:31,879 --> 02:21:34,920
Speaker 1: Lamar with a traditional NFL top tier deal that works

2746
02:21:34,920 --> 02:21:38,680
Speaker 1: for both sides, not this crazy Deshaun Watson Cleveland outlier.

2747
02:21:39,080 --> 02:21:42,800
Speaker 1: So Lamar has given himself a glass ceiling because no

2748
02:21:42,840 --> 02:21:45,560
Speaker 1: one wants to guarantee two hundred and fifty million dollars.

2749
02:21:45,760 --> 02:21:48,160
Speaker 1: I would just say this. If someone's gonna trade for Lamar,

2750
02:21:48,400 --> 02:21:51,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna draft, You're gonna compromise your draft capital inventory

2751
02:21:51,920 --> 02:21:54,240
Speaker 1: by two first round picks, and you're going to potentially

2752
02:21:54,320 --> 02:21:57,720
Speaker 1: put yourself on salary cap hill and still around Lamar

2753
02:21:57,760 --> 02:21:59,879
Speaker 1: with the skeleton crew. So I think he ends up

2754
02:22:00,000 --> 02:22:03,280
Speaker 1: back in Baltimore. Guys, what's your gut feeling as to why?

2755
02:22:03,520 --> 02:22:05,880
Speaker 1: And we haven't heard you mention your moles yet, so

2756
02:22:05,920 --> 02:22:08,160
Speaker 1: maybe you've talked to your molds about this. I'm hoping so,

2757
02:22:08,200 --> 02:22:09,879
Speaker 1: because we have to get a mold up day week

2758
02:22:10,080 --> 02:22:13,520
Speaker 1: from Bernie Fratto. But um, what what do you think

2759
02:22:13,640 --> 02:22:16,080
Speaker 1: is going on? What's the hold up in this whole

2760
02:22:16,120 --> 02:22:18,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay Jets thing? Like it's like the worst cupt

2761
02:22:18,800 --> 02:22:21,320
Speaker 1: secret in the world. Everybody's out there acting as if

2762
02:22:21,360 --> 02:22:25,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is already a jet but nothing has happened yet.

2763
02:22:25,200 --> 02:22:27,720
Speaker 1: What do you make of all of this? That's a

2764
02:22:27,760 --> 02:22:30,160
Speaker 1: fairly simple one. Green Bay is holding on for the

2765
02:22:30,240 --> 02:22:32,920
Speaker 1: maximum amount of draft capital they can get in return.

2766
02:22:33,400 --> 02:22:35,840
Speaker 1: Really as simple as that. I think they've checked a

2767
02:22:35,840 --> 02:22:38,880
Speaker 1: lot of the other boxes. I've believed from day one

2768
02:22:38,920 --> 02:22:42,280
Speaker 1: that Green Bay has the leverage because if Aaron Rodgers

2769
02:22:42,360 --> 02:22:44,680
Speaker 1: is up back in Green Bay. It may be uncomfortable,

2770
02:22:45,000 --> 02:22:47,360
Speaker 1: it may be weird, but at the end of the day,

2771
02:22:47,400 --> 02:22:49,240
Speaker 1: you got a Hall of Fame quarterback and the Jets

2772
02:22:49,240 --> 02:22:51,720
Speaker 1: got buffas. Okay, I realized it's just signed another TB

2773
02:22:51,879 --> 02:22:57,959
Speaker 1: twelve happens to be Tim Boyle war number. That's listen, listen,

2774
02:22:58,040 --> 02:23:01,800
Speaker 1: dan Orlowski, Tim Boyle. It's a quarterback factory. Man, give

2775
02:23:01,879 --> 02:23:05,960
Speaker 1: him to do. But here's the situation, Jason. It's nothing

2776
02:23:06,040 --> 02:23:09,680
Speaker 1: more than Green Bay holding out to get the best

2777
02:23:09,840 --> 02:23:13,680
Speaker 1: possible return they can via the draft. You know, would

2778
02:23:13,680 --> 02:23:15,680
Speaker 1: they get a first round draft pick this year? No?

2779
02:23:15,959 --> 02:23:18,720
Speaker 1: Might they get one in twenty twenty four? Maybe? Might

2780
02:23:18,760 --> 02:23:20,480
Speaker 1: they get a second round pick this year in a

2781
02:23:20,480 --> 02:23:22,840
Speaker 1: second round pick in twenty twenty four That might end

2782
02:23:22,920 --> 02:23:25,920
Speaker 1: up doing it. Things leaked out this week that they

2783
02:23:25,959 --> 02:23:28,200
Speaker 1: believe it's going to be done between Day one and

2784
02:23:28,320 --> 02:23:31,960
Speaker 1: Day two all of the draft, so that's sort of

2785
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:35,800
Speaker 1: an artificial deadline. I'm not still sure I'm buying that.

2786
02:23:35,959 --> 02:23:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's not gonna happen, but I'm not

2787
02:23:37,800 --> 02:23:40,680
Speaker 1: predicting it. I still wouldn't be surprised if it's slipped

2788
02:23:40,680 --> 02:23:43,600
Speaker 1: into June and if it did, green Bay would only

2789
02:23:43,840 --> 02:23:46,039
Speaker 1: you know, you get passed June first, green Bay would

2790
02:23:46,040 --> 02:23:48,360
Speaker 1: only take a fifteen million dollar cap hit this year

2791
02:23:48,720 --> 02:23:50,400
Speaker 1: versus the full cap hit, and they would take the

2792
02:23:50,440 --> 02:23:52,840
Speaker 1: rest in twenty twenty four. So still a lot of

2793
02:23:52,879 --> 02:23:56,120
Speaker 1: moving parts, still fairly complicated. I think Green Bay's playing

2794
02:23:56,120 --> 02:23:58,959
Speaker 1: hardball because they truly feel they have the leverage. Last

2795
02:23:59,000 --> 02:24:01,480
Speaker 1: one burn, we got about a minut left pitch clock.

2796
02:24:01,560 --> 02:24:03,800
Speaker 1: It's been about a week, you know, ten days since

2797
02:24:03,920 --> 02:24:06,640
Speaker 1: MLB started, you know whatever. It is one hundred so

2798
02:24:06,840 --> 02:24:08,920
Speaker 1: games in. What have we learned about the pitch clock

2799
02:24:09,040 --> 02:24:11,320
Speaker 1: so far? Well, through a hundred games, guys, there is

2800
02:24:11,400 --> 02:24:15,119
Speaker 1: real results. The league batting average is up about sixteen

2801
02:24:15,160 --> 02:24:18,240
Speaker 1: points cumulatively over what it was in March and April

2802
02:24:18,280 --> 02:24:21,960
Speaker 1: of last year. Stealing bases is back. We're not only

2803
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:24,720
Speaker 1: stealing half a more base per game in attempts, but

2804
02:24:25,160 --> 02:24:27,520
Speaker 1: these steel attempts have been successful to the tune of

2805
02:24:27,520 --> 02:24:31,120
Speaker 1: about eighty one percent. That's Ricky Henderson territory. He was

2806
02:24:31,160 --> 02:24:33,280
Speaker 1: successful with the one percent of the time. In the

2807
02:24:33,320 --> 02:24:36,240
Speaker 1: past decade the success rate was about seventy two percent.

2808
02:24:36,480 --> 02:24:38,520
Speaker 1: And finally, of course, guys, the linked of the game

2809
02:24:38,800 --> 02:24:41,480
Speaker 1: now down to two hours and thirty eight minutes last

2810
02:24:41,520 --> 02:24:44,320
Speaker 1: year's average three h three. There's a discernible difference. The

2811
02:24:44,400 --> 02:24:47,440
Speaker 1: fans are loving it. He is Bernie Fratto speaking of

02:25:31,160 --> 02:25:34,520
Speaker 1: coming up and somebody is shooting up the draft boards.

2829

Speaker 1: We'll discuss that next before we do though final time

Speaker 1: the late game to Colorado and will open the postseason

2838
02:26:03,080 --> 02:26:06,360

Speaker 1: highlighted by Boston another victory tonight at home beat New

02:27:18,120 --> 02:27:21,680
Speaker 1: all games in each conference will start at the same time.

2862
02:27:21,720 --> 02:27:23,800
Speaker 1: In other words, I think it's one pm Eastern for

2863
02:27:23,840 --> 02:27:26,320
Speaker 1: the East and then three thirty pm Eastern all the

2864
02:27:26,360 --> 02:27:29,640
Speaker 1: Western Conference games start at the same time. There's four

2865
02:27:29,680 --> 02:27:32,400
Speaker 1: games of note for the West. Pretty much everything settled

2866
02:27:32,440 --> 02:27:34,280
Speaker 1: in the East, but in the West, the Lakers have

2867
02:27:34,320 --> 02:27:38,039
Speaker 1: a home game against Utah, Golden States at Portland, and

2868
02:27:38,120 --> 02:27:41,400
Speaker 1: the Clippers are at Phoenix. Also New Orleans at Minnesota.

2869
02:27:41,480 --> 02:27:44,520
Speaker 1: Notable you mentioned Zion Williamson earlier. He's out through next

2870
02:27:44,560 --> 02:27:48,040
Speaker 1: week at least with his hamstring injury. So two things

2871
02:27:48,080 --> 02:27:50,400
Speaker 1: to keep in mind is that the Clippers, with a

2872
02:27:50,480 --> 02:27:52,960
Speaker 1: win tomorrow, are the five seed in the West, and

2873
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:55,720
Speaker 1: then we'll face the Suns again in Round one, which

2874
02:27:55,760 --> 02:27:59,120
Speaker 1: starts next weekend. New Orleans would need help to get

2875
02:27:59,120 --> 02:28:02,440
Speaker 1: the five seed. We know the loser of tomorrow's New

2876
02:28:02,560 --> 02:28:05,800
Speaker 1: Orleans Minnesota game will be in a play in, hosting

2877
02:28:05,840 --> 02:28:10,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City on Wednesday. Miami will be hosting a play

2878
02:28:10,520 --> 02:28:12,960
Speaker 1: in game Tuesday night in the East against the Hawks,

2879
02:28:12,959 --> 02:28:15,440
Speaker 1: and on Wednesday in the East, Toronto will host Chicago

2880
02:28:15,879 --> 02:28:19,080
Speaker 1: in a play in. There were three games today. Utah

2881
02:28:19,120 --> 02:28:21,760
Speaker 1: beat Denver one eighteen, one fourteen. The Nuggets are the

2882
02:28:21,800 --> 02:28:24,200
Speaker 1: one seed in the West, but they've lost five of six.

2883
02:28:24,760 --> 02:28:29,199
Speaker 1: Clippers down slumping Portland one thirty six, one twenty five. Again,

2884
02:28:29,240 --> 02:28:31,360
Speaker 1: the Clippers avoid the play in with a win tomorrow

2885
02:28:31,360 --> 02:28:35,320
Speaker 1: at Phoenix Minnesota one fifty one to one, thirty one

2886
02:28:35,400 --> 02:28:38,320
Speaker 1: winners over San Antonio. That game was in Austin, Texas,

2887
02:28:38,360 --> 02:28:41,160
Speaker 1: as was Thursday's Spurs game, and Minnesota will be no

2888
02:28:41,240 --> 02:28:44,039
Speaker 1: lower than ninth in the West again. They host New

2889
02:28:44,200 --> 02:28:48,360
Speaker 1: Orleans on Sunday as for the MLB late game. Angels

2890
02:28:48,360 --> 02:28:51,039
Speaker 1: beat Toronto nine five, Mike Trout a three run homer.

2891
02:28:51,400 --> 02:28:53,880
Speaker 1: Arizona was down four nothing quickly, but still beat the

2892
02:28:53,920 --> 02:28:57,200
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Noah cinder Guard twelve to eight. Diamondbacks starting

2893
02:28:57,240 --> 02:29:00,520
Speaker 1: pitcher Zat Davies left with a strand oblique. San Diego

2894
02:29:00,560 --> 02:29:03,760
Speaker 1: and Michael Waka down to Atlanta four to one. Washington

2895
02:29:03,800 --> 02:29:06,480
Speaker 1: held on seven six at Colorado. Rocky scored four in

2896
02:29:06,520 --> 02:29:08,480
Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth to make it interesting. The

2897
02:29:08,560 --> 02:29:11,480
Speaker 1: Yankees Guencarlo Stand with a long solo homer nearly four

2898
02:29:11,600 --> 02:29:14,400
Speaker 1: hundred forty feet four one. New York wins at Baltimore.

2899
02:29:14,560 --> 02:29:16,840
Speaker 1: Saint Louis ended a four game losing streak with a

2900
02:29:16,920 --> 02:29:19,840
Speaker 1: six nothing victory at Milwaukee and Tampa Bay is eight

2901
02:29:19,879 --> 02:29:24,320
Speaker 1: and oh after shutting out Oakland eleven to nothing. And guys,

2902
02:29:24,360 --> 02:29:27,879
Speaker 1: we had mentioned last hour about the San Diego Padres

2903
02:29:27,959 --> 02:29:30,920
Speaker 1: anniversary of their first ever game tonight. It was April eighth,

2904
02:29:31,080 --> 02:29:34,280
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine. I mentioned this on last night's show.

2905
02:29:34,360 --> 02:29:37,000
Speaker 1: Here is one of the worst NBA teams this year.

2906
02:29:37,040 --> 02:29:40,680
Speaker 1: The Houston Rockets are limping to the finish line, finishing

2907
02:29:40,680 --> 02:29:44,560
Speaker 1: their season tomorrow. They're twenty one and sixty right now.

2908
02:29:44,600 --> 02:29:47,200
Speaker 1: Do you know that the Houston Rockets are called the

2909
02:29:47,280 --> 02:29:50,080
Speaker 1: Rockets not because they're located in the town that has NASSA.

2910
02:29:50,520 --> 02:29:53,800
Speaker 1: They were originally the San Diego Rockets as an NBA

2911
02:29:53,879 --> 02:29:57,360
Speaker 1: team starting in nineteen sixty seven because they had a

2912
02:29:57,400 --> 02:30:00,640
Speaker 1: lot of defense contracts there. They made Rockets in San Diego.

2913
02:30:00,720 --> 02:30:03,160
Speaker 1: They only lasted four years in that town and then

2914
02:30:03,280 --> 02:30:06,680
Speaker 1: moved to Houston and kept the nickname. But I looked

2915
02:30:06,680 --> 02:30:10,760
Speaker 1: it up here. The Padres debut nineteen sixty nine, April eighth,

2916
02:30:11,240 --> 02:30:15,879
Speaker 1: the night before the San Diego Rockets were eliminated from

2917
02:30:15,879 --> 02:30:19,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs by Atlanta. Here San Diego had both NBA

2918
02:30:19,920 --> 02:30:23,240
Speaker 1: and MLB for the first time ever that week in

2919
02:30:23,360 --> 02:30:26,160
Speaker 1: sixty nine. Back to you, thank you very much, Steve

2920
02:30:26,200 --> 02:30:28,879
Speaker 1: de Sager, have a great evening. To Saga. Will be

2921
02:30:28,879 --> 02:30:32,600
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with Arnie Spanier and Chris Plank to Segar

2922
02:30:32,680 --> 02:30:35,160
Speaker 1: as always thank you for your time. Fox Sports Radio

2923
02:30:35,520 --> 02:30:37,720
Speaker 1: Aero towards Jason Martin. We are broadcasting live from the

2924
02:30:37,840 --> 02:30:41,280
Speaker 1: tirect dot Com studios, and Jason, you know you and

2925
02:30:41,320 --> 02:30:43,760
Speaker 1: I obviously because of this time slot, we talk a

2926
02:30:43,840 --> 02:30:48,320
Speaker 1: ton of college football, and you know, we've already started

2927
02:30:48,480 --> 02:30:51,040
Speaker 1: talking NFL Draft. That'll certainly ramp up in the next

2928
02:30:51,040 --> 02:30:54,800
Speaker 1: week or two. But I bring it up because feels

2929
02:30:54,800 --> 02:30:56,880
Speaker 1: like over the last week there has been a very

2930
02:30:57,040 --> 02:31:00,800
Speaker 1: interesting development in the draft conversation. And then Bernie just

2931
02:31:00,879 --> 02:31:03,560
Speaker 1: kind of laid out some stuff that he's heard about

2932
02:31:03,600 --> 02:31:05,840
Speaker 1: that first overall pick. Is it gonna be CJ. Stroud?

2933
02:31:05,920 --> 02:31:08,120
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Bryce Young? I think everybody kind

2934
02:31:08,160 --> 02:31:10,480
Speaker 1: of agrees those are the top two quarterbacks off the board.

2935
02:31:11,360 --> 02:31:13,800
Speaker 1: You know, two young guys just completed their thirty year

2936
02:31:13,840 --> 02:31:17,520
Speaker 1: of college football, both at a power in Alabama and

2937
02:31:17,560 --> 02:31:20,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State respectively, both of them putting up great stats,

2938
02:31:20,840 --> 02:31:25,119
Speaker 1: Heisman finalists, Heisman winner for Bryce Young. But behind them

2939
02:31:25,120 --> 02:31:27,920
Speaker 1: the conversation has been Will Levis and Anthony Richardson from

2940
02:31:27,959 --> 02:31:31,560
Speaker 1: Kentucky and Florida, respectively. What's interesting, though, is it feels

2941
02:31:31,560 --> 02:31:35,720
Speaker 1: like the last week or so, another quarterback from the

2942
02:31:35,840 --> 02:31:39,640
Speaker 1: SEC East has really like rocketed up draft boards, and

2943
02:31:39,640 --> 02:31:42,920
Speaker 1: that is Henn and Hooker from Tennessee. I think everybody

2944
02:31:43,000 --> 02:31:45,680
Speaker 1: kind of knows. But but you know, Tennessee had a

2945
02:31:45,800 --> 02:31:48,039
Speaker 1: throwback season. I don't want to call it a historic season,

2946
02:31:48,080 --> 02:31:50,160
Speaker 1: because they've had a lot of great seasons in their history.

2947
02:31:50,240 --> 02:31:53,200
Speaker 1: But Tennessee wins ten games this year in the regular season,

2948
02:31:53,200 --> 02:31:57,279
Speaker 1: they win their bowl game, and it's because almost exclusively

2949
02:31:57,320 --> 02:32:00,000
Speaker 1: because of Henn and Hooker. Now, unfortunately he got hurt

2950
02:32:00,200 --> 02:32:02,960
Speaker 1: late in the season, had to miss the final game,

2951
02:32:03,080 --> 02:32:05,440
Speaker 1: and then of course also their bowl game as well.

2952
02:32:06,200 --> 02:32:08,680
Speaker 1: But there's starting to be some buzz that Hendon Hooker,

2953
02:32:08,720 --> 02:32:11,440
Speaker 1: whether it is a team like Detroit that maybe is

2954
02:32:11,480 --> 02:32:14,120
Speaker 1: a year removed from needing a quarterback, whether it is

2955
02:32:14,480 --> 02:32:18,440
Speaker 1: maybe Baltimore who obviously could be looking for a quarterback,

2956
02:32:18,440 --> 02:32:21,960
Speaker 1: depending on how Lamar Jackson shakes out, just feels like

2957
02:32:22,000 --> 02:32:24,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Hendon Hooker buzz. And I'm here

2958
02:32:24,840 --> 02:32:26,800
Speaker 1: to say, Jason, I'm one hundred percent here for it.

2959
02:32:27,160 --> 02:32:30,080
Speaker 1: He's a little bit older, twenty five years old. That's

2960
02:32:30,160 --> 02:32:32,080
Speaker 1: really the only knock on him. Though. This guy was

2961
02:32:32,160 --> 02:32:36,360
Speaker 1: crazy productive, crazy efficient, and it appears as though he

2962
02:32:36,400 --> 02:32:38,600
Speaker 1: has impressed draft scouts over the last couple of weeks.

2963
02:32:39,360 --> 02:32:41,920
Speaker 1: He was great. I mean, I do this show out

2964
02:32:41,959 --> 02:32:44,480
Speaker 1: of Tennessee. I've covered the balls for most of the

2965
02:32:44,560 --> 02:32:49,480
Speaker 1: last decade. He's a phenomenal human being. He's a born leader.

2966
02:32:50,000 --> 02:32:54,400
Speaker 1: He was perfect in Josh Hypel's offense at Tennessee. And

2967
02:32:54,600 --> 02:32:57,040
Speaker 1: you know it's funny because you can always knock it

2968
02:32:57,080 --> 02:32:59,360
Speaker 1: and say, well, well, yeah, it's Josh Hypel's offense. A

2969
02:32:59,360 --> 02:33:01,560
Speaker 1: lot of guys are going to look good in that whatever. Okay,

2970
02:33:02,040 --> 02:33:03,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna look good playing quarterback

2971
02:33:03,840 --> 02:33:06,440
Speaker 1: for Nick Saban. A lot of people are gonna look good.

2972
02:33:06,480 --> 02:33:09,080
Speaker 1: Throw into the wide receivers that Ohio State has on

2973
02:33:09,120 --> 02:33:13,240
Speaker 1: a regular basis. Let's just argue that that Bryce Young

2974
02:33:13,280 --> 02:33:17,000
Speaker 1: and c J. Strout also, you could make the same

2975
02:33:17,080 --> 02:33:22,240
Speaker 1: argument for them. Hendon Hooker probably wins the Heisman Trophy

2976
02:33:23,280 --> 02:33:25,720
Speaker 1: if he doesn't get hurt and they don't lose that

2977
02:33:25,720 --> 02:33:28,920
Speaker 1: game to South Carolina. He did almost everything that you

2978
02:33:28,959 --> 02:33:32,920
Speaker 1: could have asked him to do. His ball placement was

2979
02:33:33,040 --> 02:33:39,040
Speaker 1: amazing pretty much all year. He has poise, he's got size. Again,

2980
02:33:39,120 --> 02:33:42,800
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, leadership, and that's crucial Jets fans because

2981
02:33:42,800 --> 02:33:44,520
Speaker 1: you know what that looks like over the last couple

2982
02:33:44,560 --> 02:33:48,360
Speaker 1: of years, if you draft somebody high that doesn't My

2983
02:33:48,440 --> 02:33:51,720
Speaker 1: prediction is somebody's gonna get a gem out of Hendon Hooker.

2984
02:33:51,800 --> 02:33:54,160
Speaker 1: It might be in the twenty to thirty range. But

2985
02:33:54,280 --> 02:33:56,520
Speaker 1: I think if he's not injured, I don't know that

2986
02:33:56,520 --> 02:33:59,400
Speaker 1: we're even having this conversation because when you meet him

2987
02:33:59,440 --> 02:34:01,080
Speaker 1: and when you tell talk to him, and you're you're

2988
02:34:01,120 --> 02:34:03,760
Speaker 1: hearing teams that have worked him out or have had

2989
02:34:03,800 --> 02:34:07,200
Speaker 1: a conversation with him, and they're all coming away super impressed.

2990
02:34:07,520 --> 02:34:11,560
Speaker 1: That's the least surprising development that I've read in a

2991
02:34:11,640 --> 02:34:14,640
Speaker 1: minute in the world of sports. You look at him

2992
02:34:14,640 --> 02:34:17,080
Speaker 1: and Hookers and you mentioned twenty five. Yeah, he's got

2993
02:34:17,080 --> 02:34:19,279
Speaker 1: a lot of years. He's got a lot of years,

2994
02:34:19,840 --> 02:34:23,040
Speaker 1: and really, if you look at it looks like he's

2995
02:34:23,080 --> 02:34:26,480
Speaker 1: progressing well from the injury. He is, his reab is

2996
02:34:26,520 --> 02:34:31,039
Speaker 1: going well, he's working hard, he's driven, he's everything that

2997
02:34:31,160 --> 02:34:34,040
Speaker 1: you could want. I think right now, I'm not saying

2998
02:34:34,080 --> 02:34:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm taking him number one overall. I'm saying that these

2999
02:34:37,560 --> 02:34:40,720
Speaker 1: rumors to me should have legs, and it's why I

3000
02:34:40,800 --> 02:34:44,000
Speaker 1: believe them a thousand percent. And I'll just wrap by

3001
02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:46,760
Speaker 1: saying this is that, you know, this was something I

3002
02:34:47,120 --> 02:34:50,480
Speaker 1: kind of thought could potentially happen during the season when

3003
02:34:50,480 --> 02:34:53,840
Speaker 1: we were calling games, calling games we were on during

3004
02:34:53,879 --> 02:34:56,000
Speaker 1: a lot of these games. Is like, you know, all

3005
02:34:56,040 --> 02:35:00,560
Speaker 1: the knocks on him, essentially we're the knocks on Joe Burrow. Well,

3006
02:35:00,600 --> 02:35:02,879
Speaker 1: you know he was completely off draft boards early in

3007
02:35:02,920 --> 02:35:05,240
Speaker 1: the process. Well, Joe Burrow went number one overall. Joe

3008
02:35:05,280 --> 02:35:06,800
Speaker 1: Burrow was a little bit older. I believe he was

3009
02:35:06,840 --> 02:35:10,320
Speaker 1: twenty three, maybe twenty four by the time he got drafted,

3010
02:35:10,520 --> 02:35:12,879
Speaker 1: So it was like, literally, oh, oh, the offensive system

3011
02:35:12,920 --> 02:35:14,960
Speaker 1: that he plays in. Well, and I'm not saying Henn

3012
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:16,600
Speaker 1: and Hooker would have gone number one, but the point

3013
02:35:16,600 --> 02:35:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make is like he was just not

3014
02:35:18,480 --> 02:35:21,520
Speaker 1: on anybody's draft board. And I remember thinking to myself,

3015
02:35:21,720 --> 02:35:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, probably around the time they beat Alabama, like

3016
02:35:24,280 --> 02:35:26,360
Speaker 1: tell me, and I'm not a scout, but like, tell

3017
02:35:26,400 --> 02:35:28,560
Speaker 1: me why this guy shouldn't be a first round pick?

3018
02:35:28,640 --> 02:35:34,040
Speaker 1: Like leadership, you know, intangibles, accuracy, I mean, you just

3019
02:35:34,120 --> 02:35:36,520
Speaker 1: go on and on down the list. The kid has everything,

3020
02:35:37,080 --> 02:35:38,840
Speaker 1: and so I'm happy to see he's getting the recognition

3021
02:35:38,920 --> 02:35:41,280
Speaker 1: he deserves. Now we'll see what it equates too on

3022
02:35:41,400 --> 02:35:43,840
Speaker 1: Draft night. But I'm telling you, I'm just telling you

3023
02:35:43,920 --> 02:35:46,400
Speaker 1: and this, I'll go to my grave believe in this man.

3024
02:35:47,720 --> 02:35:50,840
Speaker 1: I get the upside with Anthony Richardson, I get I

3025
02:35:50,920 --> 02:35:53,720
Speaker 1: sort of get the upside with Will Levis maybe a

3026
02:35:53,720 --> 02:35:57,400
Speaker 1: little bit, sort of bet against hend and Hooker at

3027
02:35:57,440 --> 02:35:59,520
Speaker 1: your own risk. He's a really talented player and to

3028
02:35:59,600 --> 02:36:02,440
Speaker 1: your point, excited to see him get the recognition that

3029
02:36:02,440 --> 02:36:05,400
Speaker 1: he deserves. Fox Sports Radio Eriturs Jason Martin. We are

3033
02:36:17,000 --> 02:36:20,640
Speaker 1: they have a three one lead. Drill delve field, high

3034
02:36:20,680 --> 02:36:25,520
Speaker 1: balls high. That is fuck, that is gone. It is

3035
02:36:25,600 --> 02:36:30,360
Speaker 1: a Stantonian home run. Oh he hit a bullet, a

3036
02:36:30,560 --> 02:36:34,520
Speaker 1: high line drive that's soared into the left field seats

3037

3045
02:37:07,120 --> 02:37:09,959
Speaker 1: Sterling on the call, and what is this that I hear?

3046
02:37:10,040 --> 02:37:15,920
Speaker 1: His background music? Markey man, Now I think I heard

3047
02:37:15,959 --> 02:37:21,200
Speaker 1: something else there for half a second, I didn't have

3048
02:37:21,240 --> 02:37:22,879
Speaker 1: a cute up properly. Did I have what I think

3049
02:37:22,920 --> 02:37:25,800
Speaker 1: did I hear? I think I thought, I think for it,

3050
02:37:25,840 --> 02:37:27,879
Speaker 1: but I thought maybe I caught it for but it

3051
02:37:28,120 --> 02:37:30,160
Speaker 1: went away so fast as well, maybe I just missed

3052
02:37:30,160 --> 02:37:32,360
Speaker 1: a remix. No, No, it was in there, but it

3053
02:37:32,400 --> 02:37:34,360
Speaker 1: was off time by about a couple of seconds. And

3054
02:37:34,440 --> 02:37:36,920
Speaker 1: also I could see Aaron was struggling with the read

3055
02:37:36,959 --> 02:37:38,680
Speaker 1: when it was happening. So I'm like, I'm going to

3056
02:37:38,680 --> 02:37:42,080
Speaker 1: stop this here, ring it back up again, Chris. We gotta,

3057
02:37:42,160 --> 02:37:44,480
Speaker 1: we gotta for the audience who did not hear earlier.

3058
02:37:45,600 --> 02:37:50,240
Speaker 1: This was something special we found deep in the system.

3059
02:37:50,520 --> 02:37:55,320
Speaker 1: Arnie Spaniard, who will be on, come on, I'm not

3060
02:37:55,360 --> 02:38:01,160
Speaker 1: even going for that to see you you got what

3061
02:38:01,400 --> 02:38:06,480
Speaker 1: I lead But you say he's just the friend, and

3062
02:38:06,640 --> 02:38:16,400
Speaker 1: you say he's just the friend. Oh baby, that is

3063
02:38:16,760 --> 02:38:20,600
Speaker 1: Artie Spaniard. We still have no context on it. Chris

3064
02:38:20,640 --> 02:38:25,000
Speaker 1: will be playing that again tomorrow at eleven pm Eastern Time,

3065
02:38:25,040 --> 02:38:27,480
Speaker 1: when Arnie is back on air. So maybe we'll get

3066
02:38:27,520 --> 02:38:31,560
Speaker 1: an explanation wow, listen to you, or maybe, like so

3067
02:38:31,640 --> 02:38:34,960
Speaker 1: much in Arnie's life, there will be no real explanation.

3068
02:38:35,640 --> 02:38:38,080
Speaker 1: But this is Fox Sports Radio erit towards Jason Martin,

3069
02:38:38,120 --> 02:38:42,400
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from the tire rack dot Com studios. Jason, H,

3070
02:38:42,560 --> 02:38:44,320
Speaker 1: let's just kind of get to some stuff coming up

3071
02:38:44,360 --> 02:38:47,080
Speaker 1: this week. So, I mean, first of all, we got

3072
02:38:47,120 --> 02:38:50,279
Speaker 1: a round and a half of the Masters tomorrow. Again,

3073
02:38:50,360 --> 02:38:53,920
Speaker 1: the third round was not completed. It will tee off

3074
02:38:53,920 --> 02:38:57,959
Speaker 1: at eight eight am Eastern Time tomorrow. Brooks Keepko with

3075
02:38:58,000 --> 02:39:01,400
Speaker 1: a four stroke lead. Fair to assume the end of

3076
02:39:01,440 --> 02:39:04,080
Speaker 1: the day you expect him to be holding that green jacket,

3077
02:39:04,080 --> 02:39:06,280
Speaker 1: throwing that green jacket over his shoulders. I mean, I do,

3078
02:39:06,480 --> 02:39:10,320
Speaker 1: unless I mean, because there's so many holes to play,

3079
02:39:10,920 --> 02:39:13,640
Speaker 1: Like if he were to have a slow start, because

3080
02:39:13,680 --> 02:39:16,120
Speaker 1: everything at this point in time's hard to really have

3081
02:39:16,200 --> 02:39:18,320
Speaker 1: that kind of momentum because you've had to stop because

3082
02:39:18,280 --> 02:39:20,200
Speaker 1: of the weather and everything else. If he would come

3083
02:39:20,200 --> 02:39:23,800
Speaker 1: back a couple of strokes early, then it gets interesting.

3084
02:39:24,240 --> 02:39:27,360
Speaker 1: But if he maintains a four shot lead going into

3085
02:39:27,440 --> 02:39:30,920
Speaker 1: the final round of play any afternoon, I feel pretty

3086
02:39:30,920 --> 02:39:33,920
Speaker 1: comfortable right now. I'm picking him to win the tournament. Generally,

3087
02:39:33,920 --> 02:39:36,959
Speaker 1: in Major's I pick, he's definitely near the top of

3088
02:39:36,959 --> 02:39:39,720
Speaker 1: the list of guys that I pick. You look at Rom.

3089
02:39:39,800 --> 02:39:42,520
Speaker 1: Rom's got a whole lot of talent. I could see

3090
02:39:42,600 --> 02:39:45,320
Speaker 1: Rom come apart a little bit potentially if it doesn't

3091
02:39:45,320 --> 02:39:48,520
Speaker 1: go well for him early. Morikawa is like two three

3092
02:39:48,560 --> 02:39:51,320
Speaker 1: guys down, but he's just so far off the pace

3093
02:39:51,400 --> 02:39:53,959
Speaker 1: he'd have to go. He'd have to go really low

3094
02:39:54,080 --> 02:39:56,480
Speaker 1: and pitch a number, and I just don't know that

3095
02:39:56,480 --> 02:39:57,920
Speaker 1: he can do it. I just look at the way

3096
02:39:57,959 --> 02:40:00,800
Speaker 1: the leaderboard is stacked up and the way kept generally

3097
02:40:00,920 --> 02:40:03,360
Speaker 1: front runs, and when he gets into a position like this,

3098
02:40:03,440 --> 02:40:07,000
Speaker 1: he usually does not come back. In majors, I think

3099
02:40:07,040 --> 02:40:09,840
Speaker 1: he'll be I definitely think he'll be wearing the green jacket. Yeah.

3100
02:40:09,840 --> 02:40:12,879
Speaker 1: For people who do not know, brooks Kepka with eight

3101
02:40:12,959 --> 02:40:16,320
Speaker 1: career PGA Tour wins, four of them have come in Major's,

3102
02:40:16,360 --> 02:40:20,280
Speaker 1: two in US Opens, two in PGA Championships, NBA playoffs

3103
02:40:20,280 --> 02:40:23,040
Speaker 1: if you include the play and technically start on Tuesday.

3104
02:40:23,440 --> 02:40:25,680
Speaker 1: Since we don't technically know who's in the play in

3105
02:40:25,760 --> 02:40:28,400
Speaker 1: games yet except for the Atlanta Miami game, I guess

3106
02:40:28,440 --> 02:40:30,800
Speaker 1: the East is pretty settled. It'll be Atlanta in Miami,

3107
02:40:31,120 --> 02:40:34,480
Speaker 1: and then Wednesday will be Chicago and Toronto NBA playoffs

3108
02:40:34,520 --> 02:40:37,119
Speaker 1: before you know, before they start, You got any hot

3109
02:40:37,120 --> 02:40:38,920
Speaker 1: takes you want to go on the record with anything,

3110
02:40:39,800 --> 02:40:42,720
Speaker 1: Not really, I mean, I think you're looking at a

3111
02:40:42,920 --> 02:40:47,160
Speaker 1: two unless MB just goes nuts, maybe a three horse race.

3112
02:40:47,240 --> 02:40:49,000
Speaker 1: But I think you got two teams in the East

3113
02:40:49,480 --> 02:40:52,120
Speaker 1: that are far superior to others. Could there be chaos?

3114
02:40:52,120 --> 02:40:54,480
Speaker 1: There could be, but in the NBA you usually don't

3115
02:40:54,560 --> 02:40:57,600
Speaker 1: see it. Right now, if you just put me against

3116
02:40:57,600 --> 02:40:59,280
Speaker 1: the barrel and said, pick somebody to win it all,

3117
02:40:59,560 --> 02:41:01,959
Speaker 1: and I'll probably changed this by next weekend. I'm gonna

3118
02:41:01,959 --> 02:41:04,480
Speaker 1: take Boston to win it all, right now, Okay, I'm

3119
02:41:04,480 --> 02:41:07,920
Speaker 1: gonna take Milwaukee. I just I don't know. I love Jannis,

3120
02:41:08,000 --> 02:41:10,200
Speaker 1: I love you know what that team is about. Any

3121
02:41:10,240 --> 02:41:14,880
Speaker 1: any strong thoughts in the West, Man, It's tough Denver.

3122
02:41:15,840 --> 02:41:18,560
Speaker 1: Denver's really good, But I could easily see one of

3123
02:41:18,560 --> 02:41:20,760
Speaker 1: the three or four teams below them getting there. And

3124
02:41:20,800 --> 02:41:23,680
Speaker 1: then you've got some dangerous teams like Golden State waiting

3125
02:41:23,720 --> 02:41:26,480
Speaker 1: a little further down, and the Lakers I hope can

3126
02:41:26,560 --> 02:41:29,600
Speaker 1: make things interesting. Yeah, Golden State currently in the sixth spot,

3127
02:41:29,680 --> 02:41:31,880
Speaker 1: Lakers in the seventh spot. They would have to play

3128
02:41:31,920 --> 02:41:34,720
Speaker 1: in the play in depending on how tomorrow goes. Everybody

3129
02:41:34,720 --> 02:41:36,440
Speaker 1: plays tomorrow. It's time for us to go. Want to
