We are 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.199 down to two major sponsors. One of them has a 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.399 huge season coming up in the spring -summer distributor 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.679 business, Skygazer, with the raspberry lemonade 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:37.200 shandy, new in stores. You could get them in 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.560 Bristol, and I believe you can get them at 12%, 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.200 but you wanna talk about a tasty summer shandy? 00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:45.679 Raspberry lemonade by Skygazer. How about we 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.420 crack a few here? Why don't we need to get the 00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:50.679 sponsor here? Speaking of sponsors being here, 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.500 our main sponsor is in the house tonight. He's 00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:56.259 in the building. No other than the Vice President 00:00:56.259 --> 00:00:58.780 of Capital Security, Joe Morello, who can plan 00:00:58.780 --> 00:01:01.780 your future. And he lives by the creed, a life. 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.719 Well planned. Hey Joe, how you doing? Excellent. 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.079 Thank you guys Senior vice president make sure 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.359 you update that for next podcast promotion No 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.060 big deal, but you plan enough lives to make you 00:01:13.060 --> 00:01:16.379 a senior executive producer Kevin Ross if we 00:01:16.379 --> 00:01:19.680 can make that edit in there. He's got a splice 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.680 in a senior before vice president angry J in 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.280 the house the Don father's hosting Croc of you 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.700 know what and the tax man. All right So lots 00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:31.120 of cover, a lot of sports going on. It's a great 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.819 busy time in sports. Got to start with a little 00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:42.959 rant of my own, though. Last night, the Bucks 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.099 bowed down to the Pacers to end that series. 00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.180 A lot of junk talking going on. I guess that's 00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:53.500 fun. Everyone loves it. It's to an all time level, 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.659 though. You got a father of a star player. coming 00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:00.599 out with a towel and hanging it five feet away 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.900 from arguably the best one of the best athletes 00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:06.060 on the planet. And I got to say kind of a classy 00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:08.740 guy from what I'm seeing over the last several 00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:11.930 years. And what is that guy supposed to do? Sit 00:02:11.930 --> 00:02:13.909 there and take it. He did. He had a few words. 00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:16.430 They pulled him away and blah, blah, blah. But 00:02:16.430 --> 00:02:19.110 here's the thing. The disrespect that is happening 00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:21.889 everywhere is disgusting. High school college 00:02:21.889 --> 00:02:24.270 guys hit these home runs. They go halfway down 00:02:24.270 --> 00:02:26.389 the line and fling their bat in the air. Man, 00:02:26.449 --> 00:02:29.219 would I like to see Bob Gibson. face the next 00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:30.759 batter and then that guy the next time, whether 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.120 it's in that game or five weeks later. But the 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.319 level of disrespect is it's bothering me. It 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.039 kind of reminds this rub it in culture we have. 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.379 It kind of reminds me of our last presidential 00:02:41.379 --> 00:02:44.419 election. And I do not we will not talk politics 00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:47.580 here. But do some people think that we don't 00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:50.400 know who won the election because they buy signs 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.979 reminding people of who won? I mean, what are 00:02:52.979 --> 00:02:55.039 we doing? Spitting in the face of your neighbor 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.960 who you know, wish it went a different way. And 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.120 people are allowed to say things, but like, do 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.580 we have to rub it into that level? And that kid, 00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:04.939 that guy last night, rubbing it into a class 00:03:04.939 --> 00:03:08.580 act. And what was Giannis' response? I don't 00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:10.819 play that. That's what he said. He goes, I don't 00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:15.080 believe that talk in SHIT. He goes, I've won 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.539 one. They haven't won anything. He goes, what 00:03:16.539 --> 00:03:18.819 happened to respecting your opponent when it's 00:03:18.819 --> 00:03:21.699 over? And I just can't believe that's what it's 00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:24.280 come to. Like, it's just a level of how you can 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.909 roast and demean people. whenever you can and 00:03:28.909 --> 00:03:34.949 by the way him with that great attitude and perception 00:03:34.949 --> 00:03:40.569 of things not born in America just saying anyway 00:03:40.569 --> 00:03:44.629 guys next thing signing day for high school athletes 00:03:44.629 --> 00:03:49.250 you get a kid that is signing us for a scholarship 00:03:49.250 --> 00:03:51.650 which I don't even think you do it on that signing 00:03:51.650 --> 00:03:54.219 day like I think it's kind of fake that and letter 00:03:54.219 --> 00:03:57.020 of intent type of thing. But not every school 00:03:57.020 --> 00:04:00.199 has got to have a signing day with everyone's 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.319 got a sweatshirt at the division three school 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.680 the kids go into. And they can wear that up until 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.479 the year when they after their first year when 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.560 they quit. And then they don't have an unsigning 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.979 day. And this is bothering me. We got to celebrate 00:04:12.979 --> 00:04:15.919 every little thing. We don't who knows if the 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.600 kid's a good kid. If he was a culture team kid 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.620 in the high school, you know. For all we know, 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.860 many of them are probably AAU jerks who listen 00:04:24.860 --> 00:04:27.040 to these clowns telling them what to do. And 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.879 then they got to continue to self promote. And 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.800 again, and the Angry Jay knows this, not on a 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.000 baseball level, but. It is a special accomplishment 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.680 to get a roster spot in one of these 60 man baseball 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.860 rosters that they have in division three So can't 00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:44.800 we just go out to dinner? Like why does everyone 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.699 have to come and have balloons and put it in 00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:48.959 a newspaper? I just I don't get it. I'm probably 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.279 wrong I'm probably wrong about senior day, too 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.540 Maybe we should have senior day and golf and 00:04:53.540 --> 00:04:55.720 swimming and everything else when when I was 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.920 in high school There was senior day in one sport. 00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:59.879 We didn't have football Thomas and there was 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:03.120 senior day and basketball and like my last baseball 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.500 game I went into the locker room, cried, got 00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:07.620 my uniform ready for the coach, and it was really 00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:09.800 sad to have it be done. But now, you know, you 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.879 get a bucket full of Big League chew and a couple 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.079 of baseball cards and flowers for your mother. 00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:19.100 And like, what is this really about? Like, who 00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:22.079 are we celebrating? Mom and dad? Why are we celebrating? 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.699 You lost again. You lost again. You got a hand 00:05:24.699 --> 00:05:26.579 in your uniform. Baseball didn't love you back 00:05:26.579 --> 00:05:29.060 again. And it's going to continue to happen. 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.899 Why do we have to celebrate it? And then on some 00:05:30.899 --> 00:05:32.980 of these senior nights, I know at least in hoops, 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.920 and I think in volleyball too from my memory, 00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:38.079 like they don't even have it on the last home 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.019 game anymore. They pick an opponent. that you 00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:43.459 can beat so now you got to win also on senior 00:05:43.459 --> 00:05:45.079 night let me let me also guess you got to score 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.180 20 the other team's got to lay down so you could 00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:50.240 score 20 well what if what if the the junior 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.879 or sophomores better what if that league has 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.279 state implications why do we have to play the 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.079 seniors you stuck it out now we got to kiss your 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.399 butt just because you're a senior i'm so sick 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.720 of signing day and senior day Football and basketball 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.339 excluded, okay. Lastly, no because they've always 00:06:10.339 --> 00:06:13.519 been around. Lastly, you guys have heard this 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.839 before, now it is at an all time level, went 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.139 to a baseball game the other night, Muzzy Field, 00:06:19.540 --> 00:06:22.139 then the two teams, batters one through nine, 00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:25.439 most of them hitting under 200, every single 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.939 player had multiple pads on their body. I mean, 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.939 if they're that afraid. Go play something else. 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.439 You're supposed to have pads for lacrosse. That's 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.879 opposite of baseball. Go play lacrosse. Go play 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.420 golf. No pads. You know what, Don father, we 00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:43.399 should probably come up with a golf thing too, 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.399 in case you foul one off your, you know, your 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.240 front leg or something like that. What is that? 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.000 Now you find out these guys don't wear cups, 00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:52.399 but they got a pad on every other part of their 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.500 body. One kid who struck out twice and hit into 00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:57.670 a double play. That was his night. Not only have 00:06:57.670 --> 00:07:00.250 Pat, he had one of those move on highlight sets 00:07:00.250 --> 00:07:02.589 that things covering his whole right arm. The 00:07:02.589 --> 00:07:04.910 poor first base coach had to lug it back to the 00:07:04.910 --> 00:07:10.129 dugout. You know what I mean? But that was after 00:07:10.129 --> 00:07:12.089 the third out after the double play. That wasn't 00:07:12.089 --> 00:07:14.430 because he got on base. Then you got to go out 00:07:14.430 --> 00:07:17.550 into the field with the stuff jammed in your 00:07:17.550 --> 00:07:19.610 pocket like that. That'll make you real comfortable 00:07:19.610 --> 00:07:21.430 to get out there and make a play stuff hanging 00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:24.230 out of your pockets. But. Went to the Yankees 00:07:24.230 --> 00:07:28.110 Royals on a Tuesday night with my twins. And 00:07:28.110 --> 00:07:30.569 one of them who doesn't follow baseball that 00:07:30.569 --> 00:07:33.250 close, he's like, Dad, look at these batting 00:07:33.250 --> 00:07:34.870 averages. There's like five of them below the 00:07:34.870 --> 00:07:38.569 Mendoza line Royals, right? I go wait till the 00:07:38.569 --> 00:07:41.740 home team gets up. We only had four that night. 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.660 I mean, so why do we have these pads on to hit 00:07:44.660 --> 00:07:47.480 less than 200? Can we just get back to sticking 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.120 your face in there and trying to get on base 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.839 and move on? He needed a pad. He hung his body 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.819 over the plate and dared you to hit him. So he 00:07:53.819 --> 00:07:55.459 said, after a while, you know, I'm going to chuck 00:07:55.459 --> 00:07:58.339 this pad on sick getting hit. Barry Bonds was 00:07:58.339 --> 00:08:00.399 not afraid of the inside pitch and they came 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.399 in on him pretty hard. Again, stuck that humongous 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.680 steroid melon in there. Whatever. I remember 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.740 Ellis Valentine had half of a baseball football 00:08:08.740 --> 00:08:11.480 face. because he had broken his jaw. That's a 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.579 tough guy, that's 80s. Now, you don't get a hip, 00:08:14.620 --> 00:08:17.139 but you get to wear three pads? Yet you don't 00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:19.139 wear a cup to cover the most important thing? 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.180 Jesus Christmas. Like my high school baseball 00:08:22.180 --> 00:08:24.720 coach said, guys don't have to be good looking. 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.660 So what are you afraid to get a hip for? You 00:08:27.660 --> 00:08:29.600 know what I mean? That's my rant. I don't like 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.340 the disrespect in sports, and I'm not a sportsmanship 00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:35.820 guy. Shake your hand, no, not for sportsmanship. 00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:38.080 Good game, good game, good game, good game. What 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.299 if you think somebody didn't play a good game? 00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:40.899 What if you were dirty the whole game and now 00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:42.259 you're gonna tell them how much you respect them? 00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.440 Find somebody on their team you respect, give 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.019 them that bro hug and say, good job buddy, see 00:08:47.019 --> 00:08:49.379 you next time. That's it. So the disrespect in 00:08:49.379 --> 00:08:53.600 sports, signing in senior day, garbage, and baseball 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.139 gear, it's gotta go. Or maybe it's too late and 00:08:56.139 --> 00:09:00.080 that sport is freaking ruined. Sorry guys. Any 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.519 of you guys wanna share anything? I'll jump in 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.480 on some of that. Let's go. The shit talking thing. 00:09:06.930 --> 00:09:10.070 It used to be where a guy of a guy talk crap 00:09:10.070 --> 00:09:12.090 It was like you're running down the court next 00:09:12.090 --> 00:09:14.850 to the guy, you know, just between you and him, 00:09:14.850 --> 00:09:18.889 you know, and it turned I don't want to The thing 00:09:18.889 --> 00:09:22.490 I remember was the the fab five when they dunked 00:09:22.490 --> 00:09:24.590 they kind of started turning into a taunt and 00:09:24.590 --> 00:09:27.389 I don't want to just blame it on them, but You 00:09:27.389 --> 00:09:29.110 know they dunk and it was always it was like 00:09:29.110 --> 00:09:31.029 wolfing then was getting in your face and all 00:09:31.029 --> 00:09:33.289 that and now it's it is it's ridiculous some 00:09:33.289 --> 00:09:35.820 of the like the dunks you see and stuff, they 00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:37.080 just literally just get there and they stand 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.919 over guys and stuff and the only way to stop 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:44.799 that is either officials team up or even the 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.220 coaches do something about it and the coaches 00:09:46.220 --> 00:09:48.460 usually don't do something about it because the 00:09:48.460 --> 00:09:51.659 kid's usually pretty good, right? But I totally, 00:09:51.899 --> 00:09:54.279 I think it is way out of hand that some of the, 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.860 especially, I mean, obviously in the NBA, like 00:09:56.860 --> 00:10:00.179 what that... If you're Tyrese Halliburton, how 00:10:00.179 --> 00:10:01.480 embarrassed are you that your father did that? 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:02.899 I think he was fairly embarrassed. He should 00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:05.059 be. I was embarrassed for him. That's how bad 00:10:05.059 --> 00:10:11.360 it was, you know? The senior night thing, that's 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.200 more for parents, isn't it? The parents love 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.480 to see their kid. You guys are all parents, right? 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.700 They love to see their kid get noticed for whatever. 00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:23.740 I retract the senior night thing. Can we just 00:10:23.740 --> 00:10:26.620 do it the last game, the last home contest? Yeah. 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.259 I say that the kids have their moment. I don't 00:10:30.259 --> 00:10:31.580 really think it's about the parents. I mean, 00:10:31.580 --> 00:10:33.299 I don't really care if I walked out with my daughter 00:10:33.299 --> 00:10:37.480 or not, but it was nice to do it. She spent four 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.500 years playing the sport. Why not have her moment? 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.500 So let me, I'll throw one thing at you. That's, 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.580 so we, when I coached in high school was, you 00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:47.600 know, the stupid thing was like before the game, 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:48.919 they announced it on you come out and you hand 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.340 out the flower or whatever. And like I, I, I 00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:54.970 hated it so much as an opposing coach. Cause 00:10:54.970 --> 00:10:57.350 we went to Wolcottek one night and they had cheerleaders 00:10:57.350 --> 00:11:00.490 reading poems. Like it was like a, it was like 00:11:00.490 --> 00:11:02.549 45 minutes. Like this was like, we should have 00:11:02.549 --> 00:11:05.889 warmed up again. It was so bad. So like, I just 00:11:05.889 --> 00:11:07.850 decided, like, you know, with the AD, we decided 00:11:07.850 --> 00:11:10.309 to do it after our last home game, after the 00:11:10.309 --> 00:11:12.649 game was over. Let the opposing people clear 00:11:12.649 --> 00:11:14.629 out if they chose. Yeah, leave. They would leave 00:11:14.629 --> 00:11:18.769 like out of the side door. And actually it turned 00:11:18.769 --> 00:11:20.909 kind of into an event, which kind of sucked for 00:11:20.909 --> 00:11:23.049 me cause I talked about each kid, but yeah, I 00:11:23.049 --> 00:11:26.059 did. Yeah, but at least it's just your guys and 00:11:26.059 --> 00:11:26.899 it's not putting everybody else out. Yeah, that's 00:11:26.899 --> 00:11:29.000 what it was. It was just our guys. So, I mean, 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:31.379 that was the way we did it. Angry Jay, if you 00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:33.000 did that, then you don't have to do it at your 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.440 banquet. You did it in a more important place, 00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:36.220 the gym. We didn't have banquets. You know what 00:11:36.220 --> 00:11:37.700 I mean. Yeah, I know. Sports awards, nights, 00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:40.080 and whatever they had. Yeah. Yes. But I don't 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.740 know, like, as far as... Booster club. I don't 00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:43.379 know how you do it for baseball and all that 00:11:43.379 --> 00:11:46.940 stuff. So, you know. They do it. As far as the 00:11:46.940 --> 00:11:49.139 pads go, for all these guys wearing it, like, 00:11:49.220 --> 00:11:51.799 you would know better than me, but all the major 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.200 leaguers are wearing them. Again, they're hitting 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.120 under 200, these guys. You didn't have a job 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:57.980 if you hit under 200. Yeah, but so, like, we're 00:11:57.980 --> 00:12:02.240 all high school kids. I see Aaron Judge, you 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.480 know, somebody wearing a freaking shoulder pad. 00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:07.980 Judge, he doesn't wear a shoulder pad. I know, 00:12:08.019 --> 00:12:09.559 you know what I mean. Gardner put on a slide. 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.399 Yeah, they pull all that stuff on. So what do 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:13.820 the kids want to do? They want to do the same 00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:17.919 thing. Like, hey, you know, my guy wears it. 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.360 Let me do it too. You got Trent Grisham, second 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:21.740 on the Yankees in home runs, doesn't even wear 00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:23.980 batting gloves. I love that. You have both guys, 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:25.799 you know, both sides. Roman Maroney. Love it 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.399 too. Yeah. So I mean, but you're right, predominantly 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.120 guys are wearing it and people emulate that. 00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:32.059 But it's the it's a keeping up with the Joneses 00:12:32.059 --> 00:12:33.860 is across the board. I'm going to go off sports 00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:36.519 for a second when it comes to senior night stuff 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.279 or the signing thing. It takes one person to 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.039 do it. Then every other parent says, hey, if 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:42.759 they did it, my kid's going to feel left out 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:44.700 if we don't do it. And I won't get into a rant 00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:46.460 about this, but one of the crazy things having 00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:48.399 kids in high school and seeing it. this idea 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.639 of promposals, which was a thing that never existed 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.460 before, is we gotta make a big deal about asking 00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:54.899 someone to go to the prom with you. It's like, 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:56.700 holy cow, how much attention these kids need, 00:12:56.740 --> 00:12:59.100 how much, I think it's a lot of the parents, 00:12:59.220 --> 00:13:01.120 you know, look at me, look at my kid, make sure 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.720 they're getting noticed, and, you know, so it's 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.299 sports, definitely, but it's across the board. 00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:08.299 Anytime anybody can get their kid looked at, 00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:10.299 getting some clicks, likes, I mean, it's been 00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:12.340 this way for a while. It's gotta be an Instagram 00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:14.340 moment. Everything's gotta be, you know, for 00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:16.950 the moms or the dads and the... Kids, you know, 00:13:16.950 --> 00:13:18.809 we got a, you know, promposal. Look at what I 00:13:18.809 --> 00:13:21.309 did. Look at, look at me. Yeah. And a lot of 00:13:21.309 --> 00:13:23.029 times these kids, again, I'll get off the promposal 00:13:23.029 --> 00:13:24.789 in a second, but they, they set everything up 00:13:24.789 --> 00:13:26.429 ahead of time. Like, yeah, these two kids are 00:13:26.429 --> 00:13:28.429 going together. Okay. That's fine. But you have 00:13:28.429 --> 00:13:30.169 to ask me, even though we already agreed to go, 00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:31.730 you're going to ask me in front of my friends 00:13:31.730 --> 00:13:33.409 and my mom's going to be there taking pictures 00:13:33.409 --> 00:13:35.009 and we're going to get a video of it to be a 00:13:35.009 --> 00:13:37.590 Tik Tok about it. It's ridiculous. I mean, it's 00:13:37.590 --> 00:13:39.690 again, across the board with stuff. Sports is 00:13:39.690 --> 00:13:41.350 the thing you hope it doesn't translate into 00:13:41.350 --> 00:13:44.200 cause, uh, I don't know you get enough attention 00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.179 if you're a good athlete I feel it's the last 00:13:46.179 --> 00:13:48.139 meritocracy out there is if you're a good player 00:13:48.139 --> 00:13:50.360 people notice you you get in the paper because 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.000 you had it made a good player you had a good 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.220 night so it's warranted notoriety and attention 00:13:56.220 --> 00:13:59.559 but just you know it waters the whole thing down 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.179 if everyone gets attention for everything they 00:14:01.179 --> 00:14:04.139 do then you know Then no one's getting any attention, 00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:06.379 so you're not you're not earning much. I love 00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:09.179 it Thank thank God nobody recorded me asking 00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:11.659 a prom date to the prom man because I was nervous. 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:14.460 I was so nervous I wasn't making posters like 00:14:14.460 --> 00:14:24.340 it was some slam dunk man. I was There's a difference 00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:26.039 in signing days too right when you're doing it 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.799 your own high school or One of the high schools 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.240 I saw today had not signing day, but every kid 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.419 said what college are going to Okay, we can read 00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:35.000 that in a newsletter. All right, but if you're 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.360 signing at the school or like if somebody's going 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.899 to play for angry at Eastern Connecticut You're 00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:41.700 signing at Eastern like I think that's kind of 00:14:41.700 --> 00:14:43.960 cool to be at the college and sign a letter But 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.440 yeah signing in a hallway. I do love the I like 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.379 that too on the Instagram and all these things 00:14:48.379 --> 00:14:52.879 that they put 100 % committed, you know and then 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.759 And then a month later when they're not playing 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.620 a lot 100 % really isn't well, how about the 00:14:58.620 --> 00:15:02.629 guy? Yeah Who'd they get again in the transfer 00:15:02.629 --> 00:15:05.330 portal? Well, yeah. All right. How about North 00:15:05.330 --> 00:15:07.649 Carolina? That sounds pretty good. And the posing 00:15:07.649 --> 00:15:09.330 on Giannis, by the way, I can't stand Hal Burns' 00:15:09.490 --> 00:15:12.509 dad, but Giannis, the 6 '11 guy who flexes on 00:15:12.509 --> 00:15:14.850 every six one guy he dunks on, he could freaking 00:15:14.850 --> 00:15:17.830 pound stand. I don't give a crap who flexes in 00:15:17.830 --> 00:15:19.870 front of that guy. He can make a dunk from one 00:15:19.870 --> 00:15:24.009 foot away. He'll flex on some poor looking like 00:15:24.009 --> 00:15:27.169 me six guard that's guarding him. So he could 00:15:27.169 --> 00:15:29.980 pry all the way to the river. Yeah, and we forgot 00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:32.259 right back at him about five minutes later. So 00:15:32.259 --> 00:15:35.600 my only rant right now, Mack, is Nico Harrison, 00:15:35.940 --> 00:15:39.679 GM of the year. Best trade in the history of 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:41.679 the NBA. He got rid of that Albatross. I was 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.879 bringing the Mavericks down. He didn't know. 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.860 What did Kendrick Perkins say last night? Luka 00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:50.259 Dantic is the worst defensive player in the modern 00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:54.019 era. Worst defensive player in the modern era. 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.289 He's what he is. I was saying. Thought Tatum 00:15:57.289 --> 00:15:58.710 was a better player than him years ago and people 00:15:58.710 --> 00:16:01.049 were laughing at me. I was probably one of them 00:16:01.049 --> 00:16:04.549 and I'm not now but yeah, I mean then Luca Lucas 00:16:04.549 --> 00:16:07.169 of Phenomenal offensive player, but like you're 00:16:07.169 --> 00:16:09.409 not winning. You're not winning with that You 00:16:09.409 --> 00:16:11.110 don't get your best player to buy in on defense. 00:16:11.169 --> 00:16:13.750 You're you're not winning James Harden think 00:16:13.750 --> 00:16:15.809 JJ was talking about him last night when he was 00:16:15.809 --> 00:16:18.789 talking about like Getting in, you know conditioning 00:16:18.789 --> 00:16:20.950 is probably number one for them. I don't know 00:16:20.950 --> 00:16:23.289 but speaking of that We're getting to the NBA 00:16:23.289 --> 00:16:27.059 later, by the way Dick, I'll just put it that 00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:32.820 way. He came on in his introductory press conference, 00:16:32.940 --> 00:16:35.879 J .J. Reddick, and said he didn't give a blank 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:38.039 of what people thought. And did you see his press 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:39.559 conference last night after the game? He got 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.440 all pissy about one question. Oh, he really cared. 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:43.799 Yeah, he was pouting and he got up and walked 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.500 out. He looked like... He might have cared. Yeah, 00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:49.759 he looked like the... Dookie. Yeah, he looked 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.279 like a dookie who just stormed out and didn't 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.539 get what he wanted. Boy, what a third grader. 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.629 That's a tough break. You're not a Duke Hater? 00:16:57.049 --> 00:17:00.110 No, why would I be? Come on, man. I don't, you 00:17:00.110 --> 00:17:04.589 know, he could pound sand. So about the disrespect, 00:17:07.190 --> 00:17:10.730 the signing days and senior days and baseball 00:17:10.730 --> 00:17:13.269 gear, I digress. Any other comments? I will just 00:17:13.269 --> 00:17:16.069 say I don't really, I don't hate signing day, 00:17:16.349 --> 00:17:18.509 but I don't get to, I don't have to see as much 00:17:18.509 --> 00:17:20.500 as maybe some of you guys. I don't know. I don't 00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:22.460 pay attention to it. I do think that's great 00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:25.140 for the athletic program to celebrate one of 00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:27.880 theirs moving on. I'm not saying it's not great, 00:17:28.779 --> 00:17:30.599 but jeez, we're making a big deal out of every 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.119 little thing anyone ever does, and I guess you 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:35.940 only live once, go for it, but jeez. I kind of 00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:37.859 like the way Breanna Stewart did hers. You guys 00:17:37.859 --> 00:17:41.240 remember? No. She signed it on the hood of her 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.440 dad's truck. That's unbelievable. When she sent 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:46.660 it in. It's gotten to the point where I've seen 00:17:46.660 --> 00:17:49.640 kids who barely played high school. They're signing, 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:51.119 they're going to go somewhere. And they didn't 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.660 even, they went one day to school and left. Like. 00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:56.920 100 % committed. Yeah, exactly. You know, it's 00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.720 like. Yeah, we should have an unsigning day. 00:18:00.859 --> 00:18:03.539 Yeah, but there's so few kids that get the opportunity 00:18:03.539 --> 00:18:06.819 to play D3, D2, let alone D1. I hear you. So 00:18:06.819 --> 00:18:08.839 I mean, you gotta look at it in the big thing. 00:18:08.940 --> 00:18:10.799 I think it's a moment for that kid, you know, 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:13.849 whether it's D3 or D1. I don't have a hard time 00:18:13.849 --> 00:18:16.589 with it. I don't disagree. I think that there's 00:18:16.589 --> 00:18:18.430 more than that moment for the kid. I think there's 00:18:18.430 --> 00:18:20.150 all those moments they should be working harder 00:18:20.150 --> 00:18:22.809 than they're working, which is why a lot of them 00:18:22.809 --> 00:18:24.650 pack it in. Because when you get there, everyone 00:18:24.650 --> 00:18:26.789 was really good in high school. I think when 00:18:26.789 --> 00:18:29.410 you blend everything together, the promposals, 00:18:29.650 --> 00:18:33.329 the self -recognition on TikTok, it just makes 00:18:33.329 --> 00:18:36.410 it a huge ordeal, and it gets tiresome. But when 00:18:36.410 --> 00:18:39.130 you pull out certain things, I think certain 00:18:39.130 --> 00:18:41.529 things should be celebrated. I don't have a problem 00:18:41.529 --> 00:18:44.480 with it. Fair enough. One last thing, the signing 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.460 day thing, the way they do it is whether it's 00:18:46.460 --> 00:18:49.220 a D3 kid who only played JV in high school who 00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:51.059 signed on somewhere. Your parents are getting 00:18:51.059 --> 00:18:52.599 pulled out of their work. So they take the day 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:54.180 off. It happens in the middle of the school day. 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:56.180 So the teacher or your coach, if they happen 00:18:56.180 --> 00:18:57.720 to teach in the school, has to leave their classroom 00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:59.900 to come down. The principal goes down. You sit 00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:01.920 at the table with your family. You pulled your 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.039 siblings out of their schools they're in to come 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.279 stand behind you. Your teammates get pulled out 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.900 of class. It's not that it's, it is disruptive. 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:10.720 And if you do it so many times, I mean, every 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.180 kid's getting pulled out of class and people 00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:14.619 have to take days off from work for it. I don't 00:19:14.619 --> 00:19:16.539 know if it's that big of a deal. That's really 00:19:16.539 --> 00:19:19.039 common. It's not done in a particularly convenient 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:23.490 time. Maybe senior night you could do it. All 00:19:23.490 --> 00:19:26.529 right. Enough of that. Let's get on to sports, 00:19:26.589 --> 00:19:32.150 guys. This is a cool time in sports. We say goodbye 00:19:32.150 --> 00:19:34.049 to college hoops, but now it's a business, so 00:19:34.049 --> 00:19:36.869 all the GM stuff's eating up. But we've got, 00:19:36.869 --> 00:19:42.390 you know. The NFL Draft, NBA playoffs, MLBs in 00:19:42.390 --> 00:19:44.470 full swing, and then Derby Day is Saturday, which 00:19:44.470 --> 00:19:47.769 is always a special day. NFL Draft, this one 00:19:47.769 --> 00:19:51.769 made some news. We'll get into the winners and 00:19:51.769 --> 00:19:54.430 losers in a minute, I'm sure. that the Don father's 00:19:54.430 --> 00:19:57.930 got his thoughts. But like, guys, I'm driving 00:19:57.930 --> 00:20:01.009 around New Haven from one gym to the next for 00:20:01.009 --> 00:20:04.269 these kids basketball games. And I just can't 00:20:04.269 --> 00:20:06.890 believe that the best pick available according 00:20:06.890 --> 00:20:10.529 to ESPN for about three straight rounds wasn't 00:20:10.529 --> 00:20:16.589 taken. And, you know, they say he can make all 00:20:16.589 --> 00:20:18.970 the throws. He's been in a pro system his whole 00:20:18.970 --> 00:20:22.650 career. His dad made sure of it. his dad made 00:20:22.650 --> 00:20:27.690 sure of it, right? Only 6 -2, so that's not in 00:20:27.690 --> 00:20:30.990 his favor. But again, they say he can make all 00:20:30.990 --> 00:20:35.930 the throws. And he did have the Heisman number 00:20:35.930 --> 00:20:40.250 two draft pick on his team and got to a 17 and 00:20:40.250 --> 00:20:43.619 a 14 record. in two years with the buffaloes, 00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:46.940 but like, how is he passed on that much? He can 00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:51.079 make all the throws, subpar, semi -exciting, 00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:53.460 at least in the Limelight college career. How 00:20:53.460 --> 00:20:55.839 does he get passed on for three straight rounds 00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:00.759 or more? Anybody? Do you care? Does anybody there 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.240 bad in the locker room? I mean, is it is it his 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.940 attitude? Is it that bad? I mean, they got passed 00:21:05.940 --> 00:21:08.319 on and passed on and passed on. It was it was 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:11.140 incredible. And I thought ESPN did a poor job, 00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:12.779 too, to be honest with you, because they covered 00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:14.980 it nonstop. They didn't give speaking, giving 00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:18.160 kids their their fair their fair shake. They 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:19.940 they were talking about Shador Sanders more than 00:21:19.940 --> 00:21:21.960 we're talking about the guy who just got drafted. 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:25.619 Mel Kuiper was a little little over. Oh, my God, 00:21:25.619 --> 00:21:29.019 it was it was nauseating. I get so he's Maybe 00:21:29.019 --> 00:21:32.779 not that good. You know, he played in a system 00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:37.019 with his dad. He went from Jackson State to Colorado. 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:42.240 His dad is his coach. I mean. How good is he 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:46.059 like they test these guys with everything that 00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:50.119 if he was so talented, he could have. He could 00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:53.200 have done even worse in his interviews that he 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:54.660 said he did, and they said what he would have 00:21:54.660 --> 00:21:57.210 been picked early because. Talent trumps everything, 00:21:57.369 --> 00:21:59.089 especially in the NFL. All people look out for 00:21:59.089 --> 00:22:00.789 him, right? His completion percentage, highest 00:22:00.789 --> 00:22:02.509 completion percentage. And they brought in Pet 00:22:02.509 --> 00:22:04.309 Shermer. Dan brought in his buddy, Pet Shermer, 00:22:04.809 --> 00:22:06.730 to create an offense for Sugar standards. And 00:22:06.730 --> 00:22:09.089 if you look, I think I said 75 % of his passes, 00:22:09.369 --> 00:22:12.349 he did not have a defender within 70 yards of 00:22:12.349 --> 00:22:16.829 his receiver. Seven yards. Didn't have a what? 00:22:17.009 --> 00:22:20.009 A defender within seven yards of his receiver. 00:22:22.009 --> 00:22:25.160 He's throwing the guys wide open. Yeah, he won't 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.480 have that in the NFL That's right and early and 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:30.380 you know good for the NFL teams if you're gonna 00:22:30.380 --> 00:22:33.420 be that much of a dick in there like I don't 00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:34.920 See you later. Like I don't want the headache. 00:22:35.180 --> 00:22:37.640 Yeah, you know and dad's dad's the guy That's 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:39.980 the you know was putting up with it. Well, that's 00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:42.579 not coaching team anymore. So welcome to real 00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:46.069 world and now he's Does he make the team? Yes. 00:22:46.069 --> 00:22:48.430 Yes. Yes, absolutely. They got to cut two guys. 00:22:48.430 --> 00:22:50.990 That's all I'm saying. Pickets are, no, which 00:22:50.990 --> 00:22:53.509 one? Let me ask you guys something. Pickets gone. 00:22:54.069 --> 00:22:56.230 Yeah, I think Pickets gone too, but. Can he pick 00:22:56.230 --> 00:22:58.690 it? He does have a great road mile on Deshaun 00:22:58.690 --> 00:23:04.029 Watson, so he should be good. If you're the Browns 00:23:04.029 --> 00:23:07.089 and they're not going to be good, right? They're 00:23:07.089 --> 00:23:10.710 going to lose games. They go right to Shador 00:23:10.710 --> 00:23:12.769 Seniors after they lose. What do you think he's 00:23:12.769 --> 00:23:17.140 saying? I told you so. I don't know. I mean, 00:23:17.299 --> 00:23:19.980 you know, they start Joe Flacco, whoever. Broadway 00:23:19.980 --> 00:23:23.299 Joe starts. And they lose 31 to 14 in the opening 00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:26.259 week. And the media is going right to show standards. 00:23:26.660 --> 00:23:29.480 Is he just going to say nothing? What do you 00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:31.460 think? What do you think Deon's going to be saying? 00:23:31.660 --> 00:23:33.259 Well, I think he's going to be holding the clipboard 00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:34.920 on week one, to be honest with you. Exactly. 00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:36.920 But they're still going to go to him after the 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:39.619 game and they're going to ask him for comments. 00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:41.920 You think he's going to be quiet? That's going 00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.049 to be great for team culture. Me and the guy 00:23:44.049 --> 00:23:46.630 who had a $200 ,000 watch flashing into the student 00:23:46.630 --> 00:23:48.930 section during warm -ups. Is he going to be quiet? 00:23:49.670 --> 00:23:51.869 Yeah, it's a problem. It's going to be a problem. 00:23:52.490 --> 00:23:53.650 We're going to touch him in a million years. 00:23:53.869 --> 00:23:55.930 And good for all the NFL teams passing on that 00:23:55.930 --> 00:23:58.490 headache. Yeah, that's a great point. I mean, 00:23:58.589 --> 00:24:00.410 I think if you talk to a lot of the GMs and I 00:24:00.410 --> 00:24:03.349 listen to a lot of things about Sanders, it comes 00:24:03.349 --> 00:24:06.109 down to is he a starting quarterback or is he 00:24:06.109 --> 00:24:07.950 a backup, right? And I think if you look at his 00:24:07.950 --> 00:24:11.180 skill set, the system he played in, if they determine 00:24:11.180 --> 00:24:13.339 that this guy is at best going to be a backup 00:24:13.339 --> 00:24:16.000 quarterback. Let's say the best backup quarterback 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.519 in the history of the league, which I'm not saying 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:20.539 that's the case, but let's just say that. There 00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:24.000 you go. Even a good call. But do you want the 00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.660 distraction of that, right? Do you want the. 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:29.660 a backup quarterback's gonna get all the attention 00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:32.259 in the locker room. The reporters are at his 00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:33.880 locker after every game, and it reminds me a 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:35.660 lot, actually, if you think back to Tim Tebow, 00:24:36.140 --> 00:24:37.680 can't argue with how great he was in college, 00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.240 but gets to the pros, clearly not a starting 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.480 quarterback, but he gets all the attention, and 00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:44.660 that's - Playoff games, come on. Yeah, a couple, 00:24:44.779 --> 00:24:49.849 right? One, two, two. DeMarius Thomas. But he's 00:24:49.849 --> 00:24:51.690 a guy, right? So I mean, the distraction of that, 00:24:51.769 --> 00:24:53.529 everyone's talking to Tim Tebow. I mean, that 00:24:53.529 --> 00:24:56.849 doesn't do well for your culture in your locker 00:24:56.849 --> 00:24:58.630 room. You're looking for a guy who is a leader. 00:24:58.710 --> 00:25:00.369 And if you've got your backup quarterback getting 00:25:00.369 --> 00:25:03.269 all the attention, it's just a weird power dynamic 00:25:03.269 --> 00:25:06.130 in that room where I think that chemistry is 00:25:06.130 --> 00:25:09.130 critically important and it's disrupted. It's 00:25:09.130 --> 00:25:11.390 just not, I don't know, it's not flowing the 00:25:11.390 --> 00:25:12.730 right way. So if you have a backup quarterback 00:25:12.730 --> 00:25:16.230 getting all the reporters at his locker asking 00:25:16.230 --> 00:25:18.460 questions, I don't know. I think that's a big 00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:21.240 problem for GMs, big problem for coaches and 00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:23.279 not that he's a bad guy. I'm not going to comment 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:25.339 on his character. I did hear him speak several 00:25:25.339 --> 00:25:28.500 times. Does not present himself all that well. 00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:32.690 I think as a as a starting Let's say he is a 00:25:32.690 --> 00:25:34.990 starting quarterback, you know You're a you're 00:25:34.990 --> 00:25:37.690 a young kid relative to the to the real men You're 00:25:37.690 --> 00:25:39.549 gonna be playing with and I don't know if that 00:25:39.549 --> 00:25:41.029 sort of attitude that he has is gonna come in 00:25:41.029 --> 00:25:45.329 the respect of veteran, you know receivers Offensive 00:25:45.329 --> 00:25:47.430 lineman offensive lineman who have to break block 00:25:47.430 --> 00:25:49.130 for you. I don't they may not you know This is 00:25:49.130 --> 00:25:50.970 we're talking. Well now it's Cleveland, right? 00:25:51.049 --> 00:25:52.269 So he's gonna have to deal with the fact that 00:25:52.269 --> 00:25:56.809 he's in a city like Cleveland blue collar Type 00:25:56.809 --> 00:25:58.390 town, you know, I don't know if it's a great 00:25:58.390 --> 00:26:00.920 fit for him As a backup, yeah, maybe it'll add 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:05.099 a little excitement to the program, but I don't 00:26:05.099 --> 00:26:07.440 know. I don't think he was done dirty. I just 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:09.259 think he was not a starting quarterback. He ended 00:26:09.259 --> 00:26:11.880 up where he ended up, and I don't know. I think 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:13.859 it's where he should have been drafted. Will 00:26:13.859 --> 00:26:16.039 he be a starting quarterback? I mean, not this 00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:19.380 year. Next year, two years. He's on the Browns 00:26:19.380 --> 00:26:21.480 roster, so the odds are he'll start at some point, 00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:24.319 because they've had like 58 of them in the last 00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:29.539 seven years, right? They usually go through three 00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:32.940 or four guys a year. They'll start him. Take 00:26:32.940 --> 00:26:34.920 Dylan Gabriel. That was my only thing. Because 00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:36.839 they think he's better. Take him, fine. They 00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.400 think he's better. Why take both? That's the 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:41.539 only thing I didn't understand. They probably 00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:43.440 thought it was value. I like Dylan Gabriel, by 00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.720 the way. To answer your question, Mack, yeah, 00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:48.980 I think he'll start at some point. Just to sell 00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:51.180 tickets. To share? To sell tickets. They're going 00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:54.609 to be, you know. two and 13 and there's two games. 00:26:55.130 --> 00:26:56.529 There'll be two games to go and people will be 00:26:56.529 --> 00:26:58.089 clamoring for it. They'll make a big deal about 00:26:58.089 --> 00:26:59.930 it. They got a better quarterback than the Steelers. 00:27:00.069 --> 00:27:03.029 I love prime time. There it is. Make no mistake 00:27:03.029 --> 00:27:05.930 about it. I love prime time. I liked him when 00:27:05.930 --> 00:27:08.390 he left the Cowboys. Like I just love prime time. 00:27:08.470 --> 00:27:10.089 I love him when he threw the water on McCarver, 00:27:10.170 --> 00:27:12.630 which is a little bit against my disrespect thing, 00:27:12.809 --> 00:27:17.210 but McCarver is a bum. Let's be consistent here, 00:27:17.250 --> 00:27:20.210 Matt. No, I do. I love the prime time. I just... 00:27:20.250 --> 00:27:22.849 a self -made athlete that was just, he's just 00:27:22.849 --> 00:27:24.710 different. There's nobody that's ever liked him. 00:27:25.049 --> 00:27:26.269 No one could have said they were gonna be the 00:27:26.269 --> 00:27:28.250 next him. I mean, there was other multi -sport 00:27:28.250 --> 00:27:30.490 guys, Brian Jordan, guys like that. Just his 00:27:30.490 --> 00:27:33.529 separation, I guess, and his ability to make 00:27:33.529 --> 00:27:35.970 a big play. I know he wasn't a great tackler, 00:27:35.970 --> 00:27:38.509 but he hit the baseball. He hit the baseball 00:27:38.509 --> 00:27:41.930 and scampered around the bases. Didn't he win 00:27:41.930 --> 00:27:45.490 a playoff game? and then go play football the 00:27:45.490 --> 00:27:47.950 next day or something like that. I don't know 00:27:47.950 --> 00:27:50.950 if it was a playoff game. He's no Danny. It was 00:27:50.950 --> 00:27:55.789 in the fall. Yeah, something like that. So I 00:27:55.789 --> 00:27:59.109 don't dislike the kid at all. And I actually 00:27:59.109 --> 00:28:00.950 went on today to see if they're selling like 00:28:00.950 --> 00:28:03.009 just t -shirts with his number yet. I think he's 00:28:03.009 --> 00:28:06.710 going to be number one. I really think that Lottie 00:28:06.710 --> 00:28:10.069 told me that. I would have bought one today. 00:28:10.250 --> 00:28:12.609 I would have bought one today. I like the kid. 00:28:12.609 --> 00:28:14.950 I'm going to root for him. But to me, instead 00:28:14.950 --> 00:28:18.130 of Skip Bayless saying it's a racial thing to 00:28:18.130 --> 00:28:20.109 hold down the black quarterback, which two black 00:28:20.109 --> 00:28:21.789 quarterbacks are taking before him, I know we 00:28:21.789 --> 00:28:23.470 don't want to go there. But the first the first 00:28:23.470 --> 00:28:26.710 pick of the draft was in Milrow, who can't throw. 00:28:26.930 --> 00:28:29.150 And they say Chidora makes a lot of throws. So 00:28:29.150 --> 00:28:31.710 why Milrow? Because they say he's the best running 00:28:31.710 --> 00:28:33.369 quarterback that's ever come out of college, 00:28:33.369 --> 00:28:38.990 really. Like, so I like him. But What it really 00:28:38.990 --> 00:28:41.049 is is an opportunity to show people wrong like 00:28:41.049 --> 00:28:43.569 Tom Brady did. If the greatest of all time can 00:28:43.569 --> 00:28:46.130 be drafted that late, why can't you? Because 00:28:46.130 --> 00:28:48.750 your dad's a coach? Because your dad's cool? 00:28:49.170 --> 00:28:50.970 Like, I think the dad's really cool. Doesn't 00:28:50.970 --> 00:28:53.109 mean you should get drafted. Well, let me guess, 00:28:53.190 --> 00:28:55.769 his senior day was his third to last game so 00:28:55.769 --> 00:28:57.950 that he could win. You know what I'm saying? 00:28:58.069 --> 00:29:01.349 And let me guess, big signing day to go to Jackson 00:29:01.349 --> 00:29:04.509 State. And let me guess, when he played baseball, 00:29:04.730 --> 00:29:08.380 he had catcher's gear on when he hit. Sure. And 00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:11.059 let me guess, he taunted the pitcher, he taunted 00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:13.480 the pitcher when he hit it far, because he's 00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.640 in the cool generation, so you know what? We're 00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:18.720 not taking him. And then eventually somebody 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:20.140 took him. Mack, you hit on something I think 00:29:20.140 --> 00:29:22.160 is the most important kind of thing, is you talk 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:24.319 about Brady, who has a lot to say for the Raiders. 00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:26.920 The fact that he didn't take him at all, and 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:29.059 they have Geno Smith for two more years, and 00:29:29.059 --> 00:29:30.920 he has a relationship with Deon, relationship 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.200 with Shador. They thought about taking him in 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:34.880 the first round at one point. He could have taken 00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.809 him in the fourth, fifth. The fact that he didn't 00:29:37.809 --> 00:29:39.390 take him, I think, is the biggest comment on 00:29:39.390 --> 00:29:43.450 him in the entire draft, that Brady refused to 00:29:43.450 --> 00:29:46.789 take him for five picks. And they have no future. 00:29:46.930 --> 00:29:48.630 I'm sorry, Geno Smith is not the future of the 00:29:48.630 --> 00:29:50.769 Raiders. No, but he's there for a few years. 00:29:50.769 --> 00:29:52.329 He said they got unfinished business, him and 00:29:52.329 --> 00:29:56.670 Carroll. I don't know if this is true. There's 00:29:56.670 --> 00:29:58.690 a narrative that Dion told certain teams not 00:29:58.690 --> 00:30:00.430 your job. Oh, he did. He did in the beginning. 00:30:00.869 --> 00:30:02.589 Before the year. The executive producer said 00:30:02.589 --> 00:30:04.170 that something happened with the Giants meeting 00:30:04.170 --> 00:30:05.750 where he's walking around just not listening 00:30:05.750 --> 00:30:07.670 to, you know, people during the meeting because 00:30:07.670 --> 00:30:11.049 he's better than them. Like, you know what? Word 00:30:11.049 --> 00:30:13.769 gets out quick. Angry Jay and I know a guy who 00:30:13.769 --> 00:30:16.490 was definitely a big league ball player, probably 00:30:16.490 --> 00:30:18.450 should have won a World Series ring with the 00:30:18.450 --> 00:30:21.849 Twins. And did the Twins win it that year? They 00:30:21.849 --> 00:30:25.710 beat the Braves? Did Kirby win one? Yeah. Yeah. 00:30:26.269 --> 00:30:30.970 So, what was that, 87? 91. Jesus, I'm way off. 00:30:31.289 --> 00:30:34.369 Anyway, we had a guy that was blackballed and 00:30:34.369 --> 00:30:38.670 every team said, you know, take a hike. In terms 00:30:38.670 --> 00:30:40.880 of like... doing what's right in an interview 00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:43.220 you would think he would have put his best foot 00:30:43.220 --> 00:30:45.579 forward with the giants of all people but you 00:30:45.579 --> 00:30:47.700 don't have to with the new york media all you 00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:49.880 want to do is get you just want to get drafted 00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:51.799 by new york it doesn't even matter if you play 00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:54.400 he would have made so much money endorsement 00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:56.279 wise on the side it would have been ridiculous 00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:59.180 and they were just too idiotic to realize that 00:30:59.180 --> 00:31:00.980 yeah but with that watch he really doesn't have 00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:02.740 to bow down to anyone he doesn't have to play 00:31:02.740 --> 00:31:05.160 their game So they played their own game without 00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:06.859 them and left them out. Then he should be wearing 00:31:06.859 --> 00:31:08.799 five for the fifth round. In fact, they said 00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:10.579 what three to five teams said, they completely 00:31:10.579 --> 00:31:12.839 took them him off their draft board before the 00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:16.160 draft off no matter what round. No chance. Did 00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:18.099 they say who the teams were? No, but the Giants 00:31:18.099 --> 00:31:19.819 were one of them because Dable said he had after 00:31:19.819 --> 00:31:22.400 the interview, he was off the draft board. I 00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:24.519 don't know who the other teams were. I think 00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:26.339 that's kind of short sighted, too, like what 00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:28.869 you said. Talents got to prevail. I mean they 00:31:28.869 --> 00:31:30.789 took this guy Laramie Tunsel in the first round. 00:31:30.809 --> 00:31:32.789 You remember this guy? Yeah, he was wearing like 00:31:32.789 --> 00:31:35.950 a gas mask from like World War two so he couldn't 00:31:35.950 --> 00:31:37.750 let any of the weed smoke escape. Now he's one 00:31:37.750 --> 00:31:40.069 of the best offensive linemen in football. Laramie 00:31:40.069 --> 00:31:43.869 Tunsel? Yeah, right. Yeah, right. He's one of 00:31:43.869 --> 00:31:45.910 the best linemen in football now. He's a commander 00:31:45.910 --> 00:31:49.930 now. Just like Tyreek. My boy Tyreek. It's just... 00:31:49.930 --> 00:31:52.329 He's never been arrested. There's no sure. Yeah 00:31:52.329 --> 00:31:55.789 great guy All right winner of the draft don father. 00:31:55.789 --> 00:31:58.690 What do you got giants? This is no brainer. You 00:31:58.690 --> 00:32:00.890 think the kid dart is that good? I think there's 00:32:00.890 --> 00:32:02.950 two generational players in the draft. The Giants 00:32:02.950 --> 00:32:05.589 got one of them. There's two 100. Who's the other 00:32:05.589 --> 00:32:10.259 one? Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter No, oh so 00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:13.880 hunter. They're the only two no doubt players. 00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:15.539 He plays defense He's gonna play hunter plays 00:32:15.539 --> 00:32:17.579 a game. Is he gonna play 75 points? How long 00:32:17.579 --> 00:32:20.759 is that gonna last? I don't know, but he's special. 00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.799 I can't see him playing full -time both. Like 00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:25.059 I can see him. He can't play full -time on both. 00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:27.400 He's not gonna play receiver. He could play like 00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.160 a handful plays. Abdul Carter is a slam dunk. 00:32:30.339 --> 00:32:32.599 He is going to be, he's Micah Parsons. They gotta 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:35.079 have, hold on, Hunter, they gotta have a bigger 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:37.880 than Deion package for him at receiver in Jacksonville. 00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:40.019 He can't be an every down guy. No, he's the third 00:32:40.019 --> 00:32:42.660 down guy, I think, eventually, right? I would 00:32:42.660 --> 00:32:44.519 think so. I mean, they traded a first round pick 00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:46.710 for him next year. He's a cornerback. And by 00:32:46.710 --> 00:32:48.470 the way, he's an unbelievable athlete. I love 00:32:48.470 --> 00:32:50.950 Jackson Dart. I think, by the way, his name is 00:32:50.950 --> 00:32:53.190 awesome for a quarterback. Mom's talented. The 00:32:53.190 --> 00:32:55.349 fact that they didn't take him, they just traded 00:32:55.349 --> 00:32:58.069 up to get him. I think was great, and their third 00:32:58.069 --> 00:33:00.410 on pick out at Toledo I think was fantastic for 00:33:00.410 --> 00:33:02.990 defensive tackle. I think Giants had a great 00:33:02.990 --> 00:33:05.549 draft. I think the Steelers, no offense, Crocker 00:33:05.549 --> 00:33:08.329 shit the bed. I think the Falcons shit the bed. 00:33:08.349 --> 00:33:13.950 How do you say, I can see a B minus or a C. No, 00:33:13.970 --> 00:33:16.769 a C, okay, a C. Well shit, the bed isn't after 00:33:16.769 --> 00:33:19.309 my book. Listen, I wanted to ask you guys this. 00:33:19.470 --> 00:33:21.130 C is good for some of you guys, but I mean, I 00:33:21.130 --> 00:33:23.509 was an H student. I think the Cowboys messed 00:33:23.509 --> 00:33:28.200 up again. Russell Wilson, we got Jameis Winston, 00:33:28.619 --> 00:33:30.619 and now we got Jackson Dart. Does Dart play at 00:33:30.619 --> 00:33:33.740 all this year? Yeah, he'll play eventually. Is 00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:37.279 Wilson a starter? Yep. Is Winston going nuts 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.220 at some point, or is he just eating crab legs? 00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:41.359 I think he's making five and a half million dollars, 00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:42.660 so I don't think he cares. He's okay with it? 00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:46.779 So you think Dart will start at some point, like 00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:50.039 second half of the year, and then those other 00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:55.019 guys are done? Yeah, I think Russ is on one year 00:33:55.019 --> 00:33:57.900 deal, right? Winston has two. Yeah, I believe 00:33:57.900 --> 00:33:59.339 so. I think Russ is going to be going after one 00:33:59.339 --> 00:34:06.359 year. He's gone, right? He's going to be working 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:08.760 at a restaurant. So, Crocker, why are we here? 00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:11.119 Danny Dimes? What's going on with your quarterback 00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:14.159 situation in Pittsburgh? They had a chance to 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.719 get Sanders... Four or five times? That's the 00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:18.079 only reason I said they were winners. Do you 00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:20.500 want Aaron Rodgers? Do you want Aaron Rodgers? 00:34:20.659 --> 00:34:23.619 He's a bridge to the 2026 class, I guess so, 00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:26.800 but he's only got one year. Yeah, they did, but 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:29.739 I... Who? Will Howard. The Ohio State quarterback. 00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:33.239 He can't be. I honestly... Career backup. Before 00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:35.619 you heard all these stories after the draft about 00:34:35.619 --> 00:34:37.599 Sanders, I was like, why aren't they taking this 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.380 kid? But in hindsight, when you see that 2020, 00:34:40.780 --> 00:34:42.760 right? All right, maybe I'm glad they didn't, 00:34:42.780 --> 00:34:45.170 but... I don't know what they did right now. 00:34:45.409 --> 00:34:48.050 Mason Rudolph. It's my point. So you have George 00:34:48.050 --> 00:34:51.050 Pickens and DK McCaff now. At what point does, 00:34:51.889 --> 00:34:54.670 what point does George Pickens start? Oh yeah, 00:34:54.789 --> 00:34:59.599 right away. Yeah, 100%. First map. First map. 00:34:59.780 --> 00:35:01.619 So are you in favor of Rodgers or no? I honestly 00:35:01.619 --> 00:35:03.460 think they are going to do something with Rodgers. 00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:05.940 They had to have known that he's going to sign 00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:07.920 eventually and that's going to be - That's why 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:09.900 they didn't drop the quarterback. He's been throwing 00:35:09.900 --> 00:35:11.699 with D .K. Metcalf in California, they said, 00:35:11.820 --> 00:35:13.840 right? Aaron Rodgers has been throwing with Metcalf 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:16.219 in California. All signs are there, but Aaron 00:35:16.219 --> 00:35:18.300 Rodgers, that guy's aloof. Who knows what he 00:35:18.300 --> 00:35:19.780 might just decide tomorrow, I'm going to wrap 00:35:19.780 --> 00:35:21.559 it up. We don't know what aloof means on this 00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:25.199 podcast, whatever you crack. Other losers, by 00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:29.659 the way, the Falcons. and the Jets. Why? Why 00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:31.440 did the Jets think that Justin Fields is their 00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:33.860 long -term solution to quarterback? They had 00:35:33.860 --> 00:35:36.139 seven chances to take a quarterback. Five to 00:35:36.139 --> 00:35:37.860 take Shadour Sanders in New York. Nobody's good 00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:41.059 though. Take Sanders in the fifth round. Justin 00:35:41.059 --> 00:35:44.039 Fields? He's already proven it. I would rather 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.920 have Justin Fields. For a year or two. That's 00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:49.460 fine. I'm not taking a headache, dude. Not taking 00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:51.000 a headache. And they also drafted with five defensive 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:52.559 players and two offensive players. They have 00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:54.599 a good defense and a terrible offense. You can't 00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:57.739 just take a quarterback though. Huh? You're just 00:35:57.739 --> 00:36:01.340 saying take a quarterback. Pittsburgh didn't 00:36:01.340 --> 00:36:03.559 do it. Exactly. That's why they're going to be... 00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:04.840 Tomlinson is going to have his first losing season 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:06.820 ever this year. Tom, start fire. I'll bet you 00:36:06.820 --> 00:36:12.920 a lunch. And why is it lunch? To trade next year's 00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:15.699 first round pick for the 26th pick to grab. I 00:36:15.699 --> 00:36:17.199 think that was a little bit of a stretch. That's 00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:18.579 the only reason. I think two pass rushers in 00:36:18.579 --> 00:36:20.739 the first round. Was that their biggest need? 00:36:21.300 --> 00:36:23.000 When was the last time somebody had 10 sacks 00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:25.610 for the Falcons? That's a good trivia question. 00:36:25.750 --> 00:36:29.650 Do you know the answer? Yes. Vic Beasley. He 00:36:29.650 --> 00:36:36.769 had like 10. Like 10 or 10? 11? 10 or 11? Yeah. 00:36:37.530 --> 00:36:38.889 See, we got a guy over there who knows football. 00:36:39.610 --> 00:36:42.110 We got time for football. NBA playoffs. Full 00:36:42.110 --> 00:36:44.530 swing right here. Some of the first rounds wrapped 00:36:44.530 --> 00:36:46.809 up. I actually liked that play -in. I didn't 00:36:46.809 --> 00:36:48.429 think I would like messing around with stuff. 00:36:48.489 --> 00:36:50.840 I kind of like the excitement of that. And I 00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:52.900 actually love the format, like you get a second 00:36:52.900 --> 00:36:56.619 chance if you lose the first one. Either way, 00:36:56.900 --> 00:36:59.719 Sells and Cavs in the East, Thunder looking like 00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:01.920 they're gonna run away with the West. Do the 00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:05.719 Warriors have a chance? Yes. Over the Thunder? 00:37:06.380 --> 00:37:10.739 No. To get there. They got a wonderful series, 00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:13.099 but yeah. Don Father, what are you thinking about 00:37:13.099 --> 00:37:17.219 the NBA playoffs? Who do you like? I think the 00:37:17.219 --> 00:37:19.219 Celtics are going to beat the Cavs, but the Thunder 00:37:19.219 --> 00:37:22.420 is a really tough matchup for Boston. Really 00:37:22.420 --> 00:37:24.000 tough matchup. The Thunder is the only team I 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.199 think can defend at all five positions as well, 00:37:26.219 --> 00:37:28.440 or if not better than the Celtics. So I think 00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:29.679 that's going to be a tough round. And they're 00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:32.079 the only team that has a bench that can compete 00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:33.639 with Boston's. Cleveland's got a pretty good 00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:35.380 bench now, too, after the Hunter trade. They 00:37:35.380 --> 00:37:37.639 made some good moves. But to me, that's the only 00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:39.500 other team that can compete with them. Did you 00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:41.059 guys talk? You're talking about the finals or 00:37:41.059 --> 00:37:44.019 like what? Like we the Knicks cannot beat the 00:37:44.019 --> 00:37:46.920 Celtics. Come on, man. This guy's killing me. 00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.280 Like, I hope you're right. But Jesus, Celtics 00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:52.960 is knocking on wood left and right. Or the Pistons. 00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.840 I'm a superstitious guy, too. But I think Cleveland 00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.579 Celtics can be great. Do you think the Pistons 00:37:58.579 --> 00:38:01.179 go seven games here? Because it's three, too. 00:38:01.300 --> 00:38:04.820 Right. I would see it's an 11 point game right 00:38:04.820 --> 00:38:07.019 now. That was up winning. We're actually winning 00:38:07.019 --> 00:38:09.670 by 11. I want to see it go seven games, as you 00:38:09.670 --> 00:38:11.449 do, because Thibodeau plays his starters. So 00:38:11.449 --> 00:38:13.590 you really don't think that Knicks can play with 00:38:13.590 --> 00:38:14.909 Desoleks at all? I don't think they can guard 00:38:14.909 --> 00:38:18.210 him. All right. They're not going to win four, 00:38:18.590 --> 00:38:21.429 but I think they're going to win. In fact, we 00:38:21.429 --> 00:38:23.989 do need Halliday back, like you said. Yeah, absolutely 00:38:23.989 --> 00:38:27.670 need him. We need him for Brunson, basically. 00:38:27.829 --> 00:38:36.269 Yeah, agreed. The West is OKC, and I'm actually 00:38:36.269 --> 00:38:38.820 impressed with Houston. They're not, I don't 00:38:38.820 --> 00:38:40.579 think, anywhere as talented as some of the other 00:38:40.579 --> 00:38:43.639 teams, but. Tough. They're coaches. Low coach, 00:38:43.780 --> 00:38:45.659 but he's such a good defensive coach. Yeah, so 00:38:45.659 --> 00:38:49.019 like, people, his idiotic behavior in Boston, 00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:51.860 but he got those guys to play, you know? Tatum 00:38:51.860 --> 00:38:54.860 and Brown, and he wasn't easy on them, unlike 00:38:54.860 --> 00:38:57.760 most coaches now with their NBA superstars. Like, 00:38:57.820 --> 00:39:00.679 he gets on the guys, man. Say what you want about 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:03.960 them. They're borderline tackle and curry all 00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:07.519 over the place, but. They play, man. They can't 00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:09.519 be fun to play against. Definitely going after 00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:13.400 his thumb. Yeah, I didn't, I saw them talking 00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:15.260 about it. And Steve Kerr, by the way. Steve Kerr 00:39:15.260 --> 00:39:17.420 whining about it. Steve Kerr, by the way, crying 00:39:17.420 --> 00:39:20.420 that Houston, did you see this? Did you guys 00:39:20.420 --> 00:39:23.679 see that Houston fans were chanting F .U. Draymond 00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.360 and Steve Kerr afterwards? No. Steve Kerr got 00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:29.619 up there and he's like, you know, he's got kids. 00:39:30.619 --> 00:39:33.820 We shouldn't, we shouldn't, I just wish they 00:39:33.820 --> 00:39:36.300 would be better than that. No mention of him 00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:40.699 assaulting players on a nightly basis, but a 00:39:40.699 --> 00:39:43.940 couple guys were swearing at Draymond. Is Steve 00:39:43.940 --> 00:39:48.559 Kerr the one who had the Duke fans chanting stuff 00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:52.159 at him? No, that was Arizona State. He went to 00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.519 Arizona. That was a little... About his father 00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:57.400 and stuff like that? That's probably... That's 00:39:57.400 --> 00:39:59.199 a little stepping over the line. Yeah, that's 00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:02.030 it. And now we can't say something, because you 00:40:02.030 --> 00:40:05.010 have a kid? To Draymond? I mean, come on, Draymond. 00:40:05.170 --> 00:40:07.170 Draymond's a jerk. Yeah, the way he is. Most 00:40:07.170 --> 00:40:08.690 of them have five or six I don't even know about, 00:40:08.750 --> 00:40:11.690 but yeah. Is Steve Kerr a top 10 coach of all 00:40:11.690 --> 00:40:16.369 time? No. No? No. To be a great coach, you've 00:40:16.369 --> 00:40:18.309 got to win without great players. Is Doc Rivers? 00:40:19.829 --> 00:40:25.230 He sucks, right? I think he ran into something 00:40:25.230 --> 00:40:26.809 with the Celtic. He stinks. I think he's the 00:40:26.809 --> 00:40:29.570 most overrated coach of all time. Who, Doc? Doc. 00:40:30.099 --> 00:40:33.820 Terrible. I don't know. I don't think he's great 00:40:33.820 --> 00:40:35.960 by any means, but he does catch a lot of crap. 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:41.400 Is Pop still active? Pretty much. Is he top 10? 00:40:41.900 --> 00:40:44.219 Yes. Is he the only active one that's top 10? 00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:47.360 They call him active. Is Carlisle active? Yeah. 00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:50.079 He ain't top 10, but. I don't know. Masula's 00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:52.420 not that far away yet, is he? Oh, Jesus. Don't 00:40:52.420 --> 00:40:57.940 get there. Three years worth. You guys are gonna 00:40:57.940 --> 00:41:00.480 be crazy. All right, so maybe there's not as 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.079 much to talk about as I thought with the NBA. 00:41:02.420 --> 00:41:04.440 What's more important in the NBA though, the 00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:09.820 coach or the GM? Shooting threes. Good call. 00:41:12.380 --> 00:41:15.500 Coach is, I don't know. I would probably say, 00:41:15.500 --> 00:41:18.800 I'd probably say general manager. With Brad Stevens 00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:21.579 going up into that role with the Celtics. He's 00:41:21.579 --> 00:41:23.320 been pretty good, man. Made a big difference. 00:41:24.259 --> 00:41:26.159 They had one of the greatest ones of all time 00:41:26.159 --> 00:41:27.960 too. Coach makes a big difference. I mean, there's 00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:29.860 so many great players and never made it to NBA 00:41:29.860 --> 00:41:32.519 finals. Greatest what? One of the greatest general 00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:36.500 managers. Who? Danny H. Oh my god. He's phenomenal. 00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:40.940 What a punk. Phenomenal. Where is he now? Utah. 00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:45.119 Did a good job in Phoenix. He did actually a 00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:52.980 decent job. He's a goat. Heat culture. They did 00:41:52.980 --> 00:41:55.219 well. Did Washington win the last game of the 00:41:55.219 --> 00:41:58.840 season? They tied. I don't know. They both did. 00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:00.739 I think Washington won the last game of the year. 00:42:04.019 --> 00:42:08.980 Cory Kisper came out. Jordan Poole got his jersey 00:42:08.980 --> 00:42:11.579 retired. That's a great trade by the way. Chris 00:42:11.579 --> 00:42:15.500 Middleton for Kyle Kuzma. Kyle Kuzma played nine 00:42:15.500 --> 00:42:17.639 minutes last game. Yeah. How pumped do you go 00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:21.139 for your Chris Middleton? Seriously. By the way, 00:42:21.260 --> 00:42:24.969 Mack Trivia. Since NBA. Let's go. What NBA player 00:42:24.969 --> 00:42:27.449 in history has the highest points per game average, 00:42:27.869 --> 00:42:30.929 but has never made it to an NBA finals qualifications, 00:42:30.949 --> 00:42:33.750 by the way, 10 ,000 career points, 400 career 00:42:33.750 --> 00:42:37.429 games. That's the that's the NBA criteria for 00:42:37.429 --> 00:42:39.489 to be considered for any kind of all time. Has 00:42:39.489 --> 00:42:41.489 never played a playoff game. Never made. No, 00:42:41.489 --> 00:42:44.750 never made NBA finals. Oh, a final. Highest point. 00:42:44.849 --> 00:42:47.210 George Gervin. Highest points per game to never 00:42:47.210 --> 00:42:49.949 make an NBA final. Are you talking career? Career. 00:42:50.190 --> 00:42:51.829 points per game. I mean, off the top of my head, 00:42:51.829 --> 00:42:54.670 I'll say James Harden right away. He's got to 00:42:54.670 --> 00:42:57.530 be in the discussion. The player is active. I 00:42:57.530 --> 00:43:02.869 only know number one and two. Westbrook? No, 00:43:03.030 --> 00:43:05.150 Harden. He made NBA final, didn't he? With who? 00:43:05.650 --> 00:43:08.889 Yes. Thunder. Oh, yeah, you're right. But Harden 00:43:08.889 --> 00:43:11.949 was on that team, too, wasn't he? Yeah, actually, 00:43:12.190 --> 00:43:13.750 yeah. Good point. You got to give us an error. 00:43:14.289 --> 00:43:17.650 Right now, he's active. He's active right now 00:43:17.650 --> 00:43:23.219 in the NBA. Average is 27 .2 points a game for 00:43:23.219 --> 00:43:25.960 his career. That's pretty good. I'll tell you 00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:30.139 number two is Dame Willard. What are his initials? 00:43:31.019 --> 00:43:33.579 Has he ever rapped? He plays in the Eastern Conference. 00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:38.619 Same team his whole career. I thought you were 00:43:38.619 --> 00:43:40.460 serious that it was Dame Willard. Okay, Dame 00:43:40.460 --> 00:43:44.219 Willard is number two. Oh, come on. How many 00:43:44.219 --> 00:43:47.619 points total? 27 .2 a game. Trey Young can't 00:43:47.619 --> 00:43:49.579 have that many points, right? He can't. Did you 00:43:49.579 --> 00:43:52.079 study numbers both ways, Bobby? No, hold up, 00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:56.699 hold up, hold up. I mean, I was disappointed 00:43:56.699 --> 00:43:59.320 in Jared. I'm stumped, yeah. I can't, I'm blanking. 00:44:00.860 --> 00:44:03.960 Eastern Conference, same team, his entire career. 00:44:04.699 --> 00:44:06.900 Never made it to the finals. That's the amazing 00:44:06.900 --> 00:44:09.940 part. And today he's in, you know... Next hint, 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:11.639 he's gotten beaten by the Celtics more than once 00:44:11.639 --> 00:44:16.409 in the playoffs. Dead air is great for podcasts 00:44:16.409 --> 00:44:19.869 by the way while we're thinking some chatter 00:44:19.869 --> 00:44:29.010 About something on the process B didn't 27 .2 00:44:29.010 --> 00:44:34.050 points a game and employing my 30 games a year 00:44:34.050 --> 00:44:37.769 he's played over He's got over 10 ,000 points 00:44:37.769 --> 00:44:43.289 and he played 400 games Should have gotten that 00:44:43.289 --> 00:44:45.670 quick. I really was disappointed. He doesn't 00:44:45.670 --> 00:44:48.489 play. Lucas got it. Lucas got it right away. 00:44:48.789 --> 00:44:56.329 Get him down here. Carabans back. Anybody care? 00:44:56.789 --> 00:44:59.730 Yeah, I like it. I'm excited. I like him as a 00:44:59.730 --> 00:45:02.010 player. I think he took undue criticism this 00:45:02.010 --> 00:45:04.329 year because he missed a few jumpers. And God 00:45:04.329 --> 00:45:05.170 forbid he missed a free throw. I think it's the 00:45:05.170 --> 00:45:09.989 right decision for the kid. Good friend makes 00:45:09.989 --> 00:45:11.849 you look better. What kind of money we talking 00:45:11.849 --> 00:45:22.590 about for him? Oh My god Jesus what's going on? 00:45:22.829 --> 00:45:24.130 I thought he's some kind of foreign national. 00:45:24.130 --> 00:45:26.869 I couldn't get money or something like that There's 00:45:26.869 --> 00:45:29.369 players match staying there. We're offered more 00:45:29.369 --> 00:45:35.070 schools At Yukon you're saying I got a question 00:45:35.070 --> 00:45:38.079 for you. How about the women? How much did they, 00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:40.940 somebody like Becker's or? She made, the sheep 00:45:40.940 --> 00:45:43.199 is over a million probably. She's the anomaly 00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:45.099 though. But she also had a Nike deal. She had 00:45:45.099 --> 00:45:47.199 Gatorade too, right? Gatorade and. How about 00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:50.300 somebody like Fudd? She'll probably be the next 00:45:50.300 --> 00:45:52.860 one. Elmer? Cause she's the last college one, 00:45:52.980 --> 00:45:55.579 so yeah. Or that girl they got from Wisconsin. 00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:57.579 Yeah, I just saw that. You gotta give her 50 00:45:57.579 --> 00:46:00.599 bucks. What's it, Battles, the other girl? The 00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:04.599 mom's in the head office at the Celtics. No, 00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:08.460 that's Fudd. No, no, I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, 00:46:08.460 --> 00:46:11.380 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 00:46:11.380 --> 00:46:12.539 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 00:46:12.539 --> 00:46:18.659 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:19.860 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 00:46:19.860 --> 00:46:22.260 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 00:46:22.260 --> 00:46:22.679 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:23.280 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:24.659 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 00:46:24.659 --> 00:46:34.079 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, All -American 00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:37.000 year, when the whole offense doesn't have to 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:39.179 run through him. I think he's not that guy to 00:46:39.179 --> 00:46:40.420 have everything run through him, which they had 00:46:40.420 --> 00:46:41.980 to have last year. I think Solo Ball will come 00:46:41.980 --> 00:46:45.000 back, I mean, come back and be the guy that that 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:47.300 can happen with. I'll have a Jordan Hawkins type 00:46:47.300 --> 00:46:50.280 year. It's my guess. And then as long as this, 00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:53.679 the Mary Smith guy can, he seems like a Newton 00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:56.119 kind of guy. And if he can, you know, distribute 00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:58.300 the ball a little bit, play some defense, I think 00:46:58.300 --> 00:47:00.159 Caravan's gonna be right back in the right slot 00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:02.119 for him. I think he's gonna have an unbelievable 00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:04.260 year. And he did a great job to boost his draft 00:47:04.260 --> 00:47:06.039 position. Let me throw this out. So yeah, I agree 00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:09.079 with Caravan, by the way. I don't think he's 00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:11.699 like a main. He should be the number one guy 00:47:11.699 --> 00:47:15.440 on an offense. He's the guy who gets lost because 00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:19.230 you're defending other guys. He knows how to 00:47:19.230 --> 00:47:21.650 find openings. I definitely think he'd play in 00:47:21.650 --> 00:47:24.030 the NBA though. He'd definitely be a 3 -and -D 00:47:24.030 --> 00:47:27.409 guy in the NBA. But let me ask what I saw to 00:47:27.409 --> 00:47:32.469 you guys. Hurley getting into the guards in the 00:47:32.469 --> 00:47:36.840 portal. You think that's on purpose? That was 00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:38.880 the biggest what do you mean getting into him? 00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:41.320 Well, he got the kid from Dayton and a kid from 00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:44.199 Georgia the two guards like that made Darius 00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:45.980 Adams say like I'm out of here I'm not having 00:47:45.980 --> 00:47:47.820 you know, I got to earn my playing time. I got 00:47:47.820 --> 00:47:50.699 to get out of here. So do you think Curly after? 00:47:51.579 --> 00:47:54.019 This year again bounced in a second round. You 00:47:54.019 --> 00:47:56.599 think he said like I want older guys, especially 00:47:56.599 --> 00:47:59.539 especially in the back They were just hurting 00:47:59.539 --> 00:48:03.820 at point guard. Yeah, you know when a son started 00:48:03.820 --> 00:48:07.340 getting hurt with the tendonitis and he sat and 00:48:07.340 --> 00:48:09.760 if he got in foul trouble or something they just 00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:12.239 could not bring the ball up the court and just 00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:18.199 make good plays. I think, how about them bringing 00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:20.219 back three guys who've been there for three years 00:48:20.219 --> 00:48:22.659 who could go somewhere else for more money. I 00:48:22.659 --> 00:48:26.380 think that's a strong saying for UConn and how 00:48:26.380 --> 00:48:30.750 they're doing. I think if they got one more big 00:48:30.750 --> 00:48:35.309 guy it would be great. So, I mean they got ten 00:48:35.309 --> 00:48:38.829 guys. And they got the big freshman that had 00:48:38.829 --> 00:48:41.880 a lefty there that shoots it. Is he gonna, yeah, 00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:44.099 is he gonna play right away? I would imagine. 00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:45.960 Well, right away, they'll probably play like 00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:47.880 Canisius now after last year. They'll probably 00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:50.460 play like a bunch of Knizos. They don't do that. 00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:52.739 He plays. He don't do that. He cried about going 00:48:52.739 --> 00:48:55.280 in that tournament. He did cry about it. He shouldn't 00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:57.000 have, but like, they play like real games. Publicly 00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:59.179 cried about going out there and playing? Come 00:48:59.179 --> 00:49:02.559 on, man. You're in favor of that? Crying about 00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:06.519 it? Did I say that? Yeah, you're defending everything 00:49:06.519 --> 00:49:09.829 he does, man. This guy's... I'm defending everything 00:49:09.829 --> 00:49:11.869 he does. Yeah, you're always talking about his 00:49:11.869 --> 00:49:14.090 offense. He's great. He's got a phenomenal offense 00:49:14.090 --> 00:49:15.489 and they guard like motherfuckers. Where was 00:49:15.489 --> 00:49:16.909 it this year? Yeah. Where the hell was it this 00:49:16.909 --> 00:49:19.050 year? They weren't that good. They guard Florida. 00:49:20.230 --> 00:49:22.309 They didn't. They guarded them better than anybody 00:49:22.309 --> 00:49:25.389 else did. Not down the stretch. Okay. We'll step 00:49:25.389 --> 00:49:27.519 back. Okay. He's terrible. He's done a terrible 00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:29.699 job there. I don't think he's done a terrible 00:49:29.699 --> 00:49:31.760 job there. Well, yeah, but in total last two 00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:33.699 years. Last episode, you're complaining that 00:49:33.699 --> 00:49:35.360 he wants to win too much and it's supposed to 00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:39.159 be OK to lose. I think Hawaii is on him as anyone. 00:49:40.380 --> 00:49:44.280 He lost him that first game. Thank you. The first 00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:46.840 game. Right. It's maybe a different story. Thank 00:49:46.840 --> 00:49:50.619 you. The whole three days. Wow, wow, wow. I totally 00:49:50.619 --> 00:49:53.679 agree. I think he would admit that. OK, so how 00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:57.010 many years he been there now? I was a six seven 00:49:57.010 --> 00:49:59.429 seven is a seven. Okay, so in the first five 00:49:59.429 --> 00:50:01.489 everyone wasn't saying how great he was He's 00:50:01.489 --> 00:50:03.469 embarrassing everyone at the Civic Center people 00:50:03.469 --> 00:50:05.050 are putting their heads down being like cuz he 00:50:05.050 --> 00:50:07.289 done yet So they could rewatch they continue 00:50:07.289 --> 00:50:09.789 watching the game now He wins too and he's like 00:50:09.789 --> 00:50:15.309 this great guy hid That's what happens when you 00:50:15.309 --> 00:50:18.929 win championships. Not by luck, though. I never 00:50:18.929 --> 00:50:21.050 said I was lucky, but how come he didn't win 00:50:21.050 --> 00:50:22.730 in his first few years? He didn't have the right 00:50:22.730 --> 00:50:25.969 guys? Why not? Why didn't he get the right guys? 00:50:26.050 --> 00:50:27.849 Because he inherited guys. He is the greatest 00:50:27.849 --> 00:50:30.309 coach in college basketball. Self -proclaimed. 00:50:31.550 --> 00:50:34.269 Give me his, though. But, anyway. I'll take Hurley. 00:50:35.570 --> 00:50:40.280 Well, here's the thing. He inherited, guys, that's 00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:42.280 the excuse. What was last year's excuse? Too 00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:45.699 many guys graduated? He had a little window with 00:50:45.699 --> 00:50:48.780 a ton of NBA guys, more than maybe most coaches. 00:50:50.860 --> 00:50:52.760 I'm not saying they're doing an incredible job, 00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:55.460 first of all. That's an incredible job. But all 00:50:55.460 --> 00:50:57.519 he's doing is pumping up Luke Murray. Everyone's 00:50:57.519 --> 00:50:59.860 like, Luke Murray, Luke Murray. He told Luke 00:50:59.860 --> 00:51:02.619 Murray to sit down and shut up. Like, come on, 00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:07.280 man. That was those guys. Come on. That's a bad 00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:09.199 look. That's a bad look. But you got to get it. 00:51:09.219 --> 00:51:11.099 He's a punk. He's more than he was more than 00:51:11.099 --> 00:51:13.079 that five second clip. And the only thing I want 00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:15.780 to say you're wrong on this back is that the 00:51:15.780 --> 00:51:18.039 early on, he said, you better get us now. The 00:51:18.039 --> 00:51:20.139 whole you better get us now comment. He knew 00:51:20.139 --> 00:51:21.739 what he had and he dealt with players that he 00:51:21.739 --> 00:51:23.480 did not recruit. And he said, by the time we 00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:25.000 get his players in there, it was a whole different 00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:27.340 story. And man, that's going to go down in history 00:51:27.340 --> 00:51:29.780 is one of the best things is you better get us. 00:51:29.820 --> 00:51:33.059 Let me get a 30 here. Let me get a 30. So he 00:51:33.059 --> 00:51:35.969 did say that. And I love it. and he was right 00:51:35.969 --> 00:51:39.210 but now all of a sudden he faces adversity after 00:51:39.210 --> 00:51:41.429 he's going on ESPN telling everybody that's either 00:51:41.429 --> 00:51:44.289 a championship or bust which is an absolute garbage 00:51:44.289 --> 00:51:47.670 statement stupid and and then they don't win 00:51:47.670 --> 00:51:50.550 it and now he doesn't want his guys anymore now 00:51:50.550 --> 00:51:52.389 halfway through the year he says 50 percent of 00:51:52.389 --> 00:51:54.949 this this roster is going to transfer or be in 00:51:54.949 --> 00:51:56.610 the portal and i'm fine with it so we can go 00:51:56.610 --> 00:51:58.489 out and get older guys like everyone else is 00:51:58.489 --> 00:52:02.139 doing so now is he not just patino and the next 00:52:02.139 --> 00:52:04.380 guy and the next guy instead of Izzo just sticking 00:52:04.380 --> 00:52:07.139 it out getting tough guy after tough guy and 00:52:07.139 --> 00:52:09.840 making them tougher and tougher like now he does 00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:12.199 now now you can just go out and get new guys 00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:14.820 so what's more important to college the GM or 00:52:14.820 --> 00:52:16.820 the coach? all right fair enough so now there's 00:52:16.820 --> 00:52:18.900 a gm position which didn't exist as long as i 00:52:18.900 --> 00:52:21.239 followed college basketball never is a gm tom 00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:29.219 more now is the next gm right and then uh we've 00:52:29.219 --> 00:52:31.559 had the first gm for uconn as a guest on this 00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:33.820 podcast go ahead no big deal was going that way 00:52:33.820 --> 00:52:36.920 that night said he was there phasing him out 00:52:37.369 --> 00:52:41.530 So I think the early thing, you know, he has 00:52:41.530 --> 00:52:43.090 to now do what everyone else is doing, which 00:52:43.090 --> 00:52:46.730 isn't great. But he's he's I think it's a reality. 00:52:46.750 --> 00:52:48.969 This is how you have to to now coach in this 00:52:48.969 --> 00:52:50.929 current environment. Has to or path of least 00:52:50.929 --> 00:52:53.690 resistance and that has to have to have to. I 00:52:53.690 --> 00:52:55.190 mean, what are your options? So doesn't have 00:52:55.190 --> 00:52:57.590 to. So here's the thing. I would say this. So 00:52:57.590 --> 00:52:59.889 you think school is not good. I think he's recruiting 00:52:59.889 --> 00:53:02.349 off that he's not recruiting off of the portal 00:53:02.349 --> 00:53:05.389 a little bit. Well, I mean, everyone is. I mean, 00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:10.139 Finding the freshmen come in, there's only so 00:53:10.139 --> 00:53:12.539 many. And they're spreading out, they're taking 00:53:12.539 --> 00:53:14.460 the money wherever they can go, right? It's all 00:53:14.460 --> 00:53:16.960 about the money. The SEC is gonna wipe everyone 00:53:16.960 --> 00:53:20.340 out. I mean, 14 teams this year make it. The 00:53:20.340 --> 00:53:23.139 Big East is gonna hurt the most. They have no 00:53:23.139 --> 00:53:26.760 football, so they have no money. So that's why 00:53:26.760 --> 00:53:30.139 Yukon is gotta play, I think he's gotta play 00:53:30.139 --> 00:53:33.559 it up bigger than other teams because he has 00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:36.610 to get the recognition to Yukon. and we have 00:53:36.610 --> 00:53:39.550 to probably find another conference. Before we 00:53:39.550 --> 00:53:40.849 get into the other conferencing though, Anchor 00:53:40.849 --> 00:53:42.949 Jay, you could probably comment on this. I think 00:53:42.949 --> 00:53:45.409 the way Hurley coaches, he's an animal and his 00:53:45.409 --> 00:53:47.130 expectations are extremely high. I think his 00:53:47.130 --> 00:53:49.920 practices are... Unbelievably tough. I think 00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:52.880 he doesn't know the metal of his players until 00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:54.559 they get there So there's gonna be an element 00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:57.219 of it of him recruiting guys he think can play 00:53:57.219 --> 00:53:59.539 in his system who can handle the the pressure 00:53:59.539 --> 00:54:01.300 they get there and he's like, you know, this 00:54:01.300 --> 00:54:04.139 guy just is not the guy we thought he was and 00:54:04.139 --> 00:54:06.699 that's just Personalities and human nature. So 00:54:06.699 --> 00:54:08.500 a guy's gonna show up You're gonna get a in Mahaney 00:54:08.500 --> 00:54:10.079 who's gonna be there and be like, yeah, this 00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:12.130 is not the guy we thought he was Certainly wasn't 00:54:12.130 --> 00:54:14.769 Joey California. Let's just ditch him then. Well, 00:54:15.170 --> 00:54:16.969 he's a guy, though, like you're not going to 00:54:16.969 --> 00:54:18.690 be able to handle the pressure. And I think that 00:54:18.690 --> 00:54:20.849 that's a big thing. You have to want to love 00:54:20.849 --> 00:54:25.389 the way he runs practices. I do love it as a 00:54:25.389 --> 00:54:26.849 player, though. Right. So if you might be a guy 00:54:26.849 --> 00:54:28.949 like I think I might be a guy, I'm a tough and 00:54:28.949 --> 00:54:31.150 I'm, you know, a tough kid from Connecticut right 00:54:31.150 --> 00:54:33.389 now. I don't know how well he would do there. 00:54:33.469 --> 00:54:35.929 Like a really good Connecticut high school player. 00:54:36.090 --> 00:54:39.530 Abdu Tory, West Haven. No name must save him. 00:54:41.050 --> 00:54:43.530 We are gonna find out. We saw him cracker, right? 00:54:44.309 --> 00:54:46.949 There you go. So I think that's part of Hurley's 00:54:46.949 --> 00:54:48.809 problem is he's gonna recruit guys in that he's 00:54:48.809 --> 00:54:50.710 not giving up on but they may be giving up on 00:54:50.710 --> 00:54:52.170 it and saying like I can't handle this kind of 00:54:52.170 --> 00:54:56.510 pressure. So was Joey California always Joey 00:54:56.510 --> 00:54:59.829 California or did he have a real bad lull and 00:54:59.829 --> 00:55:01.590 then all of a sudden make a few jumpers down 00:55:01.590 --> 00:55:03.730 the stretch on a team with a bunch of other NBA 00:55:03.730 --> 00:55:05.429 players so he didn't need to do too much but 00:55:05.429 --> 00:55:10.409 make those like Like if Mahaney was with Sanogo 00:55:10.409 --> 00:55:13.429 and all these guys, may it have been easier for 00:55:13.429 --> 00:55:16.210 him to just catch and shoot one? Fair point. 00:55:16.530 --> 00:55:17.750 And if you've got guards, who are you going to 00:55:17.750 --> 00:55:20.920 defend? Hawkins or him? So who's got the weaker 00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:23.239 defender on him that and then, you know, he went 00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:25.500 through a stretch late in the season. He couldn't 00:55:25.500 --> 00:55:27.719 shoot. He had a couple big game. The Georgetown 00:55:27.719 --> 00:55:29.739 game was huge for him. You know, that's where 00:55:29.739 --> 00:55:32.900 he also played it up the name. You know, he had 00:55:32.900 --> 00:55:36.079 rice. He had the guy making points over here. 00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:40.039 I think I think Mahaney, I think he'd love Hurley. 00:55:40.059 --> 00:55:42.480 I think he had the crazy mentality. Yeah, he 00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:45.119 just couldn't. Well, they were headbutting each 00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:47.079 other like they were Hulk Hogan and Bob Backlund 00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:48.699 at one point. All right, so I'm jumping in here 00:55:48.699 --> 00:55:53.440 now. Go ahead. Yeah. So first of all, his theatrics 00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:56.019 are sometimes way too much for me and I'll be 00:55:56.019 --> 00:56:01.019 the first guy to say it. I agree. Like his, I'm 00:56:01.019 --> 00:56:04.500 the best coach thing, comment is stupid. I mean, 00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:08.000 he gets, cause the way he acts on the sideline, 00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:11.900 the camera's always on him. Okay. Surprising 00:56:11.900 --> 00:56:15.260 some of this coming from you cause He gets the 00:56:15.260 --> 00:56:18.159 guys to play, dude. And in today's day and age, 00:56:18.179 --> 00:56:21.679 it's a problem. And he is as old school as you 00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:25.619 can get. He's Tom Izzo at 50 years old. Like, 00:56:25.719 --> 00:56:29.559 he'll get in the guy's face and, you know, he'll 00:56:29.559 --> 00:56:31.599 MF a guy up and down. Like, this is how I want 00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:33.639 you to play. And it's easy to say, well, these 00:56:33.639 --> 00:56:35.340 guys were NBA players. Like, did anybody think 00:56:35.340 --> 00:56:36.860 Kim Spencer was an NBA player when he was at 00:56:36.860 --> 00:56:39.820 Rutgers? Or Tristan Newton, who was a zero -star 00:56:39.820 --> 00:56:43.059 recruit at Texas A &M? So you're thinking that, 00:56:43.059 --> 00:56:44.860 you're thinking that you're turning him, Spencer, 00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:48.880 into an NBA guy? I didn't think Spencer was an 00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:50.880 NBA player at Yukon until all of a sudden they 00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:54.360 were, the team. My point is you're giving no 00:56:54.360 --> 00:56:56.340 credit to the coach for helping these guys become 00:56:56.340 --> 00:57:00.260 great players? No Jay, like honestly, you know 00:57:00.260 --> 00:57:02.320 I think he's a great coach. I'm just annoyed 00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:05.599 by some of his bull crap. And now, remember Coach 00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:07.760 K, the reason we were supposed to hate Duke, 00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:10.260 but guys like me and you secretly were like, 00:57:10.799 --> 00:57:13.920 It's awesome. The four guys stay there, but it's 00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:16.260 a different game now. I know it is, and I don't 00:57:16.260 --> 00:57:17.960 have to like it, just I didn't like the stuff 00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:19.800 when I was ranting about it. I don't have to 00:57:19.800 --> 00:57:21.619 like it, and he's part of it. What I'm saying 00:57:21.619 --> 00:57:26.079 is, we kind of like that Duke stuff when we weren't 00:57:26.079 --> 00:57:28.400 supposed to. And then, what did Sheshevsky do? 00:57:28.500 --> 00:57:30.800 Because he had to. He at least started to go 00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:33.400 to the one and duns. with all these Ky Reaves 00:57:33.400 --> 00:57:35.360 and all these guys. And he did what everyone 00:57:35.360 --> 00:57:37.340 else did, because he knew he couldn't win his 00:57:37.340 --> 00:57:40.699 way. Talent trumps out. Yeah, but back then, 00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:43.500 talent, they still had Christian Leitner, not 00:57:43.500 --> 00:57:45.579 a great NBA player. Bobby Hurley, not a great 00:57:45.579 --> 00:57:47.900 NBA player. Thomas Hill, not a great NBA player. 00:57:48.300 --> 00:57:50.880 Brian Davis, not an NBA player. You know, they 00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:53.039 are one good NBA player from that whole era. 00:57:53.440 --> 00:57:56.840 Grant Hill, right? I totally agree with you. 00:57:56.960 --> 00:57:59.280 I think the old school thing is, but your point, 00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:02.659 you eventually have to conform to the way I get 00:58:02.659 --> 00:58:06.099 it. But that but the score is stupid. The real 00:58:06.099 --> 00:58:08.059 question is, do we even really know what we're 00:58:08.059 --> 00:58:11.139 in? We set with the old school way. This is evolving 00:58:11.139 --> 00:58:16.219 every year, like every year it's changed. I think 00:58:16.219 --> 00:58:18.519 it's only been out. He's been one year out of 00:58:18.519 --> 00:58:20.599 the college. It's been three years. Three years 00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:22.440 ago, barely anyone was talking about NIL. That 00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:25.280 was the first or second year of it. Now we're 00:58:25.280 --> 00:58:27.679 so far into this that guys are getting, you know, 00:58:27.900 --> 00:58:31.380 four million dollars. Football is getting multi 00:58:31.380 --> 00:58:35.309 -million dollar for one year. guaranteed money, 00:58:36.050 --> 00:58:37.730 basically. Backups are getting that money. Yeah. 00:58:38.349 --> 00:58:40.789 Manning and all that. So there's that. And then 00:58:40.789 --> 00:58:42.829 now you have the ability to move players around 00:58:42.829 --> 00:58:46.730 year after year. Those guys locked kids in. That's 00:58:46.730 --> 00:58:50.190 the other thing. The good basketball programs 00:58:50.190 --> 00:58:52.489 got the kids to go there and they were going 00:58:52.489 --> 00:58:54.989 to stay. You develop them. Or what you couldn't 00:58:54.989 --> 00:58:57.869 leave. Yeah, I like those rules. You had to sit. 00:58:58.070 --> 00:59:00.429 I totally agree. Kevin, do you like the current 00:59:00.429 --> 00:59:02.539 system? I don't. Is there anyone here that likes 00:59:02.539 --> 00:59:05.199 it? No, but it's good. But if you're a player, 00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:10.340 you're a player like Darius Adams and you you 00:59:10.340 --> 00:59:12.780 want to play in the NBA, right? That's the goal 00:59:12.780 --> 00:59:14.760 for him. Not going to UConn with 10 guys are 00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:19.119 in a in a and and all right. So you're you're 00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:20.800 Braden Mullins. Let's say he doesn't play next 00:59:20.800 --> 00:59:23.519 year. He will. But let's say in the Aniket. Yeah, 00:59:23.699 --> 00:59:26.719 let's say he doesn't. Is he staying at UConn? 00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:29.980 Heck no. He's going to Indiana. I give solo ball 00:59:29.980 --> 00:59:33.360 credit for sticking around. To Kevin's point, 00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:36.219 the other schools are offering them more money. 00:59:36.940 --> 00:59:38.539 You're not staying, dude. You're not staying. 00:59:38.699 --> 00:59:40.659 I'm not staying. Are you coaching differently 00:59:40.659 --> 00:59:44.199 because of that, too? Of course. You don't really 00:59:44.199 --> 00:59:45.980 have programs anymore. It's a team from year 00:59:45.980 --> 00:59:49.460 to year. Yeah, you're a one year NBA coach. Especially 00:59:49.460 --> 00:59:52.119 at that level. Well, look at all these teams 00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:54.800 that are starting from scratch. Almost no one 00:59:54.800 --> 00:59:57.480 coming back. Speaking of Indiana, they had a 00:59:57.480 --> 00:59:59.440 point where they had a Bosnian sniper the other 00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:01.420 day, though. McNeese State was our top six guys 01:00:01.420 --> 01:00:03.639 in the transfer portal. It's crazy. The best 01:00:03.639 --> 01:00:07.820 player on Florida was at Iona last year. And 01:00:07.820 --> 01:00:09.960 the second best one was at Princeton. Correct. 01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:12.860 No, this coming year. The kids, Xavier and Lee. 01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:17.039 Jay, do you remember going to, I think it was 01:00:17.039 --> 01:00:20.289 Oklahoma. UConn at the Civic Center. We lost 01:00:20.289 --> 01:00:24.409 96 -95. Ben Gordon was a freshman. Oklahoma had 01:00:24.409 --> 01:00:27.989 guys like Eby Arrah and guys like that. Do you 01:00:27.989 --> 01:00:30.909 remember that name? No. But we were there. And 01:00:30.909 --> 01:00:33.150 this freshman played about eight minutes for 01:00:33.150 --> 01:00:35.449 the Huskies, number four. Yeah, he was pretty 01:00:35.449 --> 01:00:39.050 good. And he came off and he huffed and puffed. 01:00:39.050 --> 01:00:40.829 He couldn't get his breath because it was like 01:00:40.829 --> 01:00:43.989 his first real big one preseason, not preseason, 01:00:44.150 --> 01:00:47.250 early season game at the old Civic Center, right? 01:00:48.049 --> 01:00:50.590 Ben Gordon. The next year he comes back, he's 01:00:50.590 --> 01:00:53.369 unbelievable. The next year he comes back, they 01:00:53.369 --> 01:00:56.369 rename Madison Square Garden, Madison Square 01:00:56.369 --> 01:00:58.809 Gordon, because he goes nuts at the biggest thing. 01:00:59.170 --> 01:01:00.610 All right, guys, hold on. I'm going to get back 01:01:00.610 --> 01:01:03.250 to that. Emergency press conference. We have 01:01:03.250 --> 01:01:08.030 an NBA expert in the house. This is our youngest 01:01:08.030 --> 01:01:11.409 podcast guest ever. Emergency press conference. 01:01:12.369 --> 01:01:14.349 Lucas Don is going to tell us who's going to 01:01:14.349 --> 01:01:18.190 win the NBA championship and the why. Lucas, 01:01:18.190 --> 01:01:21.769 you're on. On the spot. Who's going to win it? 01:01:22.269 --> 01:01:24.449 I mean, I think the Celtics are going to win 01:01:24.449 --> 01:01:27.010 it. Why? That a boy. I just think they're the 01:01:27.010 --> 01:01:29.409 best playoff -built team. How are they built 01:01:29.409 --> 01:01:31.289 better than the others, especially the Thunder? 01:01:32.010 --> 01:01:34.769 They just have more experience winning the playoffs. 01:01:34.969 --> 01:01:38.670 Do you think they experience trumps? I think 01:01:38.670 --> 01:01:40.710 they're a better overall team than the Thunder, 01:01:40.869 --> 01:01:42.710 too. You think the coach will hurt them down 01:01:42.710 --> 01:01:49.360 the stretch? Probably not. Who's the best basketball 01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:53.380 player to ever wear number 33? Larry Bird. Give 01:01:53.380 --> 01:01:56.260 me a break. Best basketball player to ever wear 01:01:56.260 --> 01:02:07.260 number 23? That's a tough one. It's not really 01:02:07.260 --> 01:02:11.320 that tough. Don't do it. Don't do it. I know 01:02:11.320 --> 01:02:20.199 we're off. LeBron. Whoa! Okay, our emergency 01:02:20.199 --> 01:02:23.119 press conference is over. Hold on. Hold on. I 01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:25.820 got a trivia question I want to ask. He won't 01:02:25.820 --> 01:02:27.219 get this one. He got the Joel Ellenby one, by 01:02:27.219 --> 01:02:28.960 the way. Lucas is kicked off. But this question 01:02:28.960 --> 01:02:30.760 he won't get, but I want to see if Angry, because 01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:32.219 we just talked about Duke. We talked about Duke 01:02:32.219 --> 01:02:35.119 for a while. I heard this today. Which Duke player 01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:37.679 has the most, random question I know, but most 01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:40.960 double -doubles in their NBA career? Regularly 01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:43.440 season, postseason. Elton Brand. Double -doubles. 01:02:43.579 --> 01:02:45.420 He was number two. That was my guess too. Grant. 01:02:46.570 --> 01:02:54.570 Who? Grant Hill. Nope. Tadum. He was three. Tadum. 01:02:54.809 --> 01:02:56.969 That's the best guess, but he's not right. Kyrie. 01:02:57.289 --> 01:03:02.250 Double -doubles in the NBA. In the NBA. A Duke 01:03:02.250 --> 01:03:06.929 player in the NBA. How many double -doubles? 01:03:08.989 --> 01:03:11.110 Could it possibly be that fat lefty that broke 01:03:11.110 --> 01:03:13.630 his shoe? No, but the most doubles all time as 01:03:13.630 --> 01:03:15.789 we're staying on this. Who got that? That's eight 01:03:15.789 --> 01:03:19.269 hundred and forty one NBA career, not Duke. Most 01:03:19.269 --> 01:03:22.849 double double doubles. Tim Duncan, eight hundred 01:03:22.849 --> 01:03:25.170 and forty one. But he's new player. I don't know 01:03:25.170 --> 01:03:28.070 the number, to be honest, but I know who it is. 01:03:28.190 --> 01:03:29.710 Come on, Carlos Boozer. Come on. Who wouldn't 01:03:29.710 --> 01:03:34.050 get booze? He's got two two sons coming to college. 01:03:34.150 --> 01:03:35.690 A one because he might know this one. He might 01:03:35.690 --> 01:03:39.130 not Lucas. Most points in an NBA finals game. 01:03:39.269 --> 01:03:42.849 Any player, any team winner or lost most points. 01:03:43.199 --> 01:03:46.280 in an NBA championship game. Is it in the 50s? 01:03:46.420 --> 01:03:49.019 In the NBA finals. Got to be in the 50s. Finals 01:03:49.019 --> 01:03:51.179 or final games? Finals. Maybe in the 40s. Kobe. 01:03:51.619 --> 01:03:54.199 One game, NBA finals. Who had the most points? 01:03:54.619 --> 01:03:57.960 I'll go Jerry West. I can tell the point total 01:03:57.960 --> 01:04:02.340 is 61. Wilt? Was it Wilt? It was not Wilt. Come 01:04:02.340 --> 01:04:08.530 on Lucas. You're 0 for 2. Elgin Bailowitz. Was 01:04:08.530 --> 01:04:10.929 it Elgin Baylor? Elgin Baylor. Elgin Baylor. 01:04:11.230 --> 01:04:14.809 47. 61 points in a game. 61. That's the one Jordan, 01:04:15.230 --> 01:04:17.710 yeah. Okay, well give your dad to me now. I want 01:04:17.710 --> 01:04:20.650 to go back to Loops as the answer, though. Maybe 01:04:20.650 --> 01:04:22.550 LeBron is the best answer you can get, right? 01:04:23.150 --> 01:04:24.889 What best number? Maybe LeBron. He hates LeBron, 01:04:24.969 --> 01:04:26.030 too. He's not a LeBron fan. In fact, you put 01:04:26.030 --> 01:04:27.650 a maybe, though. Maybe LeBron is the answer. 01:04:27.710 --> 01:04:29.590 Who's the greatest player? Not LeBron. Never 01:04:29.590 --> 01:04:31.530 to wear number 23 in the NBA. Calvin Murphy. 01:04:36.640 --> 01:04:41.320 Sorry, what what's his nickname? Oh? That was 01:04:41.320 --> 01:04:48.079 a great thing Calvin The Nat no that was Calvin 01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:51.179 that dude no Calvin and that Murphy maybe was 01:04:51.179 --> 01:04:53.179 true story remember all right remember what he 01:04:53.179 --> 01:05:00.059 was also prolific at dribbling no That's a good 01:05:00.059 --> 01:05:03.880 answer. That's a good answer Shawn Kemp What 01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:05.960 do you got? Calvin Murphy, baton twirling. Get 01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:08.760 the heck out of here. Baton twirling, yeah, look 01:05:08.760 --> 01:05:11.000 at him, it's incredible. And by the way, he was 01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:13.659 an enforcer, like in the 70s and 80s, for a little 01:05:13.659 --> 01:05:16.059 guy. Quiff Quaven over here. I love it. It's 01:05:16.059 --> 01:05:18.260 a little known fact that Calvin Murphy went over 01:05:18.260 --> 01:05:21.599 time. Before we get back into that Ben Gordon 01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:25.739 thing, Joe said that Hurley tests their metal. 01:05:25.900 --> 01:05:27.500 Who's the smartest guy here, Joe? What do you 01:05:27.500 --> 01:05:31.159 think? You could say yourself. I wouldn't say 01:05:31.159 --> 01:05:32.500 myself, it's tough, I'm looking around the room. 01:05:34.119 --> 01:05:40.360 Do I have to say anybody? Come on man. I'll go 01:05:40.360 --> 01:05:41.559 with Crocker because he's sitting right next 01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:45.920 to me. Crocks, testing your metal. Can you spell 01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:50.139 metal? Can you spell metal? Yes, I got it. Go. 01:05:50.599 --> 01:05:54.739 M -E -T -A -L. Do you want to revise your answer, 01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:59.059 Joe? M -E -T -T -L -E. Boom. That's one of the 01:05:59.059 --> 01:06:01.519 three medals, and that's correct in context. 01:06:02.079 --> 01:06:03.500 That's the guy I want playing in my future right 01:06:03.500 --> 01:06:06.639 there. I saw it. A life well planned. I saw this 01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:09.619 in a Calhoun sound bite. They asked him for his 01:06:09.619 --> 01:06:11.400 all -time UConn starting five, which I think 01:06:11.400 --> 01:06:13.960 is not OK to ask a guy like that. because you 01:06:13.960 --> 01:06:16.079 gotta draw lines in the sand between great players. 01:06:16.519 --> 01:06:19.739 So he went Emeka number one at the five. He did 01:06:19.739 --> 01:06:24.860 positions. He took Kemba second at the one. You 01:06:24.860 --> 01:06:29.800 listening, man? He said Emeka, Kemba, he went 01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:32.760 Ray, no, the next one he said was Karam Butler. 01:06:33.139 --> 01:06:35.800 I said his most versatile, strongest player. 01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:39.599 Then he went Ray, and now you're thinking, well 01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:42.239 Ray's at the two, it's gotta be Rip, right? No. 01:06:42.440 --> 01:06:45.260 He said Gordon and he goes he'd bring Rip off 01:06:45.260 --> 01:06:47.820 the bench because he needed a sixth guy. So his 01:06:47.820 --> 01:06:51.840 all -time team would be Kemba or Kember as he 01:06:51.840 --> 01:06:58.320 calls them. Kember, Gordon, Ray, Butler, Emeka. 01:06:59.320 --> 01:07:01.880 That team win today? Would Rip coming off the 01:07:01.880 --> 01:07:04.760 bench? Couch? Yeah. Yes. Are they not big enough? 01:07:05.659 --> 01:07:12.340 No, they all leave. Not enough shots to go around. 01:07:15.460 --> 01:07:21.760 Maybe. Anyway. NBA, SchmenBA, NCAA, SchmenCAA. 01:07:22.500 --> 01:07:26.420 Let's talk baseball. Tom Izzo. It's May. Tom 01:07:26.420 --> 01:07:28.059 Izzo is awesome, dude. What are you talking about? 01:07:28.199 --> 01:07:32.119 You don't like him? I do like him. Would you 01:07:32.119 --> 01:07:36.099 rather, if you had a kid. High school player 01:07:36.099 --> 01:07:38.539 Hurley you could send him to eat really yeah, 01:07:38.659 --> 01:07:41.480 okay after he transfers cuz he wants him to transfer 01:07:41.480 --> 01:07:43.260 then where would you send them? Oh, the guys 01:07:43.260 --> 01:07:46.539 don't transfer out of Michigan State Kid me the 01:07:46.539 --> 01:07:48.719 flint. They put on goddamn helmets at practice. 01:07:49.039 --> 01:07:50.639 That's what I'm talking about. So we want we 01:07:50.639 --> 01:07:55.059 build toughness out there smarty Anyway Yanks 01:07:55.059 --> 01:07:59.900 Yanks are in first place For one reason Aaron 01:07:59.900 --> 01:08:01.960 actually three reasons Aaron judge. They're the 01:08:01.960 --> 01:08:08.230 pirates without judge and a captain Judgy, leading 01:08:08.230 --> 01:08:12.130 us in average over 400. He's Babe Ruth. He's 01:08:12.130 --> 01:08:14.969 unbelievable. He's Babe Ruth. Goldschmidt, I 01:08:14.969 --> 01:08:18.470 like him. Grisham, I hate to say it, because 01:08:18.470 --> 01:08:20.310 he didn't hustle that one time last year. We 01:08:20.310 --> 01:08:22.590 might have to play him all the time. Chisholm 01:08:22.590 --> 01:08:28.729 hitting 181, and he sucks in defense. Judgy leads 01:08:28.729 --> 01:08:31.270 us in home runs. Rice and Grisham right there. 01:08:31.689 --> 01:08:37.319 Judgy, 32. The next guy's not even at 20 yet. 01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:42.140 I like the team. I think we're gonna be okay. 01:08:42.199 --> 01:08:47.020 He's gonna say we're not. But I don't want Lamehu 01:08:47.020 --> 01:08:49.319 and Stanton getting into this mix. I love this 01:08:49.319 --> 01:08:52.979 young electric crew. Even Bellinger at 186 or 01:08:52.979 --> 01:08:55.199 whatever. He runs around and dives and catches 01:08:55.199 --> 01:08:57.619 it once while he launches one. I wanna go with 01:08:57.619 --> 01:09:01.100 this group. And then trade for a real player 01:09:01.100 --> 01:09:04.359 instead of. These stat guys. Love DJ. I think 01:09:04.359 --> 01:09:06.779 DJ, you know, it's obviously a health thing. 01:09:07.199 --> 01:09:11.180 Is Stanton injured? Tennis. They just went to 01:09:11.180 --> 01:09:13.420 the 60 day today. They just placed him on the 01:09:13.420 --> 01:09:17.800 60 day. Tennis elbow. Shocker. Is it a torpedo 01:09:17.800 --> 01:09:21.060 bat? Shocker. Bat adjustments. That's what they... 01:09:21.079 --> 01:09:22.859 That was the injury. They said it was caused 01:09:22.859 --> 01:09:26.260 by bad adjustment. I thought Colin, I thought 01:09:26.260 --> 01:09:28.420 saying Ellsbury was out with general fatigue 01:09:28.420 --> 01:09:30.979 was bad. They might've been topped. Bad adjustment. 01:09:30.979 --> 01:09:34.600 It was topped by bad adjustments. Rod Crew made 01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:36.640 a bad adjustment every pitch. He just choked 01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:39.520 up more or less. Pete Rose, same thing, or got 01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:41.619 closer to the plate or backed up. It's a bad 01:09:41.619 --> 01:09:44.979 adjustment. Stanton, he's out for a year. Oh, 01:09:45.020 --> 01:09:49.859 those elbows just took a beating. You want the 01:09:49.859 --> 01:09:51.739 young guys, right? I do. What are they going 01:09:51.739 --> 01:09:55.159 to do with Ben Rice when bat adjustment comes 01:09:55.159 --> 01:10:00.880 back? They're going to play him, dude. They're 01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:03.500 going to play him. Schmidty's got to play. Don't 01:10:03.500 --> 01:10:05.319 tell me they're going to platoon the two of them. 01:10:07.279 --> 01:10:08.979 Schmidty's hitting like three eighties. Honestly, 01:10:09.399 --> 01:10:12.000 they'll probably send Schmidty. They'll send 01:10:12.000 --> 01:10:17.079 Ben Rice down. Ben Arroz? Yeah. Spanish for rice, 01:10:17.279 --> 01:10:21.630 guys. Yeah. They should just wave him, dude. 01:10:21.810 --> 01:10:23.729 Just wave that stiff. He's such a fraud. Yeah, 01:10:23.850 --> 01:10:26.489 we talked about the Browns before. You got a 01:10:26.489 --> 01:10:28.710 cup eight with Watson. You got a cup eight with 01:10:28.710 --> 01:10:31.970 Stan. Just get rid of him. We can't trade him 01:10:31.970 --> 01:10:34.510 for anything. I don't, we don't need, we don't 01:10:34.510 --> 01:10:38.229 just, you know, the Red Sox waved that fat third 01:10:38.229 --> 01:10:40.149 baseman they had there, the panda guy, right? 01:10:41.489 --> 01:10:42.390 They're like, you know something, this ain't 01:10:42.390 --> 01:10:44.289 gonna work. See you later. They ate a hundred 01:10:44.289 --> 01:10:47.340 million. We just keep playing our guy. Jay, if 01:10:47.340 --> 01:10:49.159 they did that, would you at least say you kind 01:10:49.159 --> 01:10:52.779 of like this team right here? I mean, Cashman's 01:10:52.779 --> 01:10:54.020 still there. What would it take for you to like 01:10:54.020 --> 01:10:56.579 them? Willie Randolph? I like the team. I hate 01:10:56.579 --> 01:10:59.840 the organization. That's the problem. Are you 01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:02.260 a fan? Yeah. Watch that freaking game, dude. 01:11:02.500 --> 01:11:06.079 Yeah. Are you a fan of the organization? It was 01:11:06.079 --> 01:11:08.960 built into me from a young age. There is nothing 01:11:08.960 --> 01:11:11.159 else. But I'm going to bet you about them because 01:11:11.159 --> 01:11:15.460 the little midget that runs the team sucks. That's 01:11:15.460 --> 01:11:18.619 unkind. Boon? He's short. He's short. It's unkind. 01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:21.960 Climbing buildings and stuff. Can't get a third 01:11:21.960 --> 01:11:26.220 baseman. We don't need one right now. Yeah, I 01:11:26.220 --> 01:11:29.260 mean. What, do you want an all -star? What, are 01:11:29.260 --> 01:11:30.880 you early? No. You're gonna have two third basemen? 01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:32.560 Well, if we can get an all -star, yeah. But we 01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:33.779 gotta play a guy with you who can't throw the 01:11:33.779 --> 01:11:35.539 ball across the diamond. Going through the portal 01:11:35.539 --> 01:11:37.199 now? I mean, what are you? We should go into 01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:38.960 the portal for a third baseman. Jesus, I'll take 01:11:38.960 --> 01:11:40.399 somebody from Tennessee or something, the guy 01:11:40.399 --> 01:11:44.199 we got playing over there now. Christ. Let's 01:11:44.199 --> 01:11:46.000 get some money up. Maybe get some no money for 01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:49.739 a Yankee third baseman. Outside of the obviously 01:11:49.739 --> 01:11:52.720 the Dodgers, Mets are pretty good. Padres are 01:11:52.720 --> 01:11:57.260 okay. Phillies are okay. The Sox, they can hit. 01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:00.119 I don't want to like them or pay attention, but 01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:03.039 they can hit. Endeavors has a hit till like last 01:12:03.039 --> 01:12:06.180 night. These kids can hit. And the kid in the 01:12:06.180 --> 01:12:08.260 minor leagues, they said he's going to come up 01:12:08.260 --> 01:12:10.180 and be something special. I don't know what they're 01:12:10.180 --> 01:12:12.640 waiting for. They got two of them on there, right? 01:12:13.180 --> 01:12:15.859 Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony. We can't get 01:12:15.859 --> 01:12:18.140 anybody. The first time we've had a farm system 01:12:18.140 --> 01:12:19.960 in like 15, 20 years. Taxman, are you watching 01:12:19.960 --> 01:12:22.720 the Sox? I'm watching the Sox every night. Can't 01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:25.680 hear you, Taxman. Watching the Sox all the time. 01:12:25.760 --> 01:12:27.720 Real happy with the way they're playing. You 01:12:27.720 --> 01:12:29.500 know, like we talked about the other night. I 01:12:29.500 --> 01:12:32.060 like the young players. I'm willing to... You 01:12:32.060 --> 01:12:36.460 like Abreu? I love Abreu. Casas? Casas. I love 01:12:36.460 --> 01:12:39.800 them all. You see Durant still home? You know, 01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:44.300 I thought we would trade for him cool Duran He's 01:12:44.300 --> 01:12:47.699 good. We don't trade for good guys Yeah, you 01:12:47.699 --> 01:12:49.819 know, you don't name is Rio.

All right. Not too much baseball. 01:13:17.119 --> 01:13:19.500 It's early in the season. Would it be 30 games 01:13:19.500 --> 01:13:23.199 in? Yeah. If there was a player not in your favorite 01:13:23.199 --> 01:13:26.359 team, you would pay to see who would that player 01:13:26.359 --> 01:13:30.359 be? Shohei. For me, I hate saying it, but it's 01:13:30.359 --> 01:13:34.850 easy. Shohei. I'll take Paul skeins.

Alright, last, this is the championship 01:21:01.989 --> 01:21:08.890 game, Francona and Tori. Tori. Francona. Tito. 01:21:09.649 --> 01:21:13.569 Is that a, Homer picks over there? Tito. Tito. 01:21:13.890 --> 01:21:17.399 It's over. I would pick Tory or Francona. I was 01:21:17.399 --> 01:21:18.960 just trying to figure out who were the fans. 01:21:19.479 --> 01:21:27.060 Francona is the winner of the Under 18. Who would 01:21:27.060 --> 01:21:28.880 you want your son or daughter to play for? Jay, 01:21:29.319 --> 01:21:31.880 I could live with it though. He wants tough players. 01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:35.699 What he said to the little... I know, but I'm 01:21:35.699 --> 01:21:38.699 just saying Ramirez. No, he's a clown. Ramirez, 01:21:38.760 --> 01:21:41.829 he told him... play like your pants are on fire 01:21:41.829 --> 01:21:43.529 and these young kids will follow you and he did. 01:21:44.090 --> 01:21:46.130 Indians shouldn't be good. So we got Frank Horn 01:21:46.130 --> 01:21:47.829 and Jim Callahan are the guys we want our kids 01:21:47.829 --> 01:21:50.250 playing for. They're tough guys. An Irishman 01:21:50.250 --> 01:21:53.729 and an Italian. It is day and age. Imagine that. 01:21:53.829 --> 01:21:56.630 I would have taken Showalter and Bayheim, but 01:21:56.630 --> 01:22:01.680 whatever. All right. Listen, we have... We have 01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:03.939 a hybrid version of, and I think there's only 01:22:03.939 --> 01:22:05.699 three of us prepared, but you guys could jump 01:22:05.699 --> 01:22:09.720 in, a hybrid version of Mount Rushmore and the 01:22:09.720 --> 01:22:13.060 number game. So what this segment is, and this 01:22:13.060 --> 01:22:16.319 is sponsored by Capital Securities and Joe Moriello, 01:22:16.819 --> 01:22:20.539 senior vice president who really could plan out 01:22:20.539 --> 01:22:24.939 your life, and his creed is a life. Well planned. 01:22:27.260 --> 01:22:29.890 You're allowed to pick a jersey number. You're 01:22:29.890 --> 01:22:32.470 tasked with picking a jersey number, and the 01:22:32.470 --> 01:22:35.949 four, they don't have to be the greatest, they're 01:22:35.949 --> 01:22:39.949 your iconic people wearing that number. We're 01:22:39.949 --> 01:22:43.850 gonna start with the Don father. Oh, I get first 01:22:43.850 --> 01:22:46.489 pick, all right. I think I'm gonna go with the 01:22:46.489 --> 01:22:49.090 obvious one, which is number 34. Oh my God, I 01:22:49.090 --> 01:22:51.510 had 34. Sorry, I mean, I can go another way, 01:22:51.529 --> 01:22:54.649 but you put me first. If I had to pick four, 01:22:54.789 --> 01:22:59.520 I'm going Shaq, Walter Payton. Love it. No one 01:22:59.520 --> 01:23:02.920 Ryan and Hakeem Olajuwon. Oh, no Paul Pierce. 01:23:03.319 --> 01:23:06.340 Oh the truth. He was like six that had Barkley 01:23:06.340 --> 01:23:09.060 ahead of him, right? Barkley ahead of him, Giannis, 01:23:09.220 --> 01:23:13.920 I mean 34 is a great number. It is. Bo Jackson 01:23:13.920 --> 01:23:17.579 and Earl Campbell. Kirby Puckett maybe? Earl 01:23:17.579 --> 01:23:19.760 Campbell. I'd rather pay him, I'd love to. Can't 01:23:19.760 --> 01:23:24.520 walk for Christ's sake. Angry? No, your number 01:23:24.520 --> 01:23:27.909 now. Alright, I'm going number five. No, because 01:23:27.909 --> 01:23:32.949 you know what a homer I wore it the five guys 01:23:32.949 --> 01:23:37.109 With George Brett would be one as a kid. I loved 01:23:37.109 --> 01:23:39.390 that the baby blue and he was that obviously 01:23:39.390 --> 01:23:43.810 a phenomenal hitter Johnny bench would be another 01:23:43.810 --> 01:23:47.729 one again as a kid It was baseball guy wore number 01:23:47.729 --> 01:23:51.250 five Joe DiMaggio as a Yankee homer I'm picking 01:23:51.250 --> 01:23:55.630 him Yep, you heard me And last guy would be Jason 01:23:55.630 --> 01:23:59.510 Kidd, number five basketball player. Number 32 01:23:59.510 --> 01:24:02.109 at Cal. Yeah, well he wore it at number five 01:24:02.109 --> 01:24:05.550 in the NBA and he was an all -time, underrated 01:24:05.550 --> 01:24:09.649 all -time player. Is he still coaching? That's 01:24:09.649 --> 01:24:13.850 what you call it. Yeah. Jay Kidd. Remember who 01:24:13.850 --> 01:24:16.470 his college teammate was? LeVon Murray. What 01:24:16.470 --> 01:24:19.010 number did he wear? 21. Let's do some quick 21s. 01:24:19.010 --> 01:24:25.590 I got Dominique. Clemens. Dion. Ha, Mike Wilson. 01:24:26.329 --> 01:24:32.350 Paul O 'Neill. Paul O 'Neill. Anybody else? 21s? 01:24:33.090 --> 01:24:35.210 You got one? You got a 21? No, I don't got a 01:24:35.210 --> 01:24:43.649 21. Guys, my number is 99. And here's why. 99, 01:24:44.930 --> 01:24:47.569 they still name a basketball drill. Almost every 01:24:47.569 --> 01:24:49.670 program in the world does some form of every 01:24:49.670 --> 01:24:51.470 day where there are big guys and maybe every 01:24:51.470 --> 01:24:53.779 player and that's George Mikan. and bottles of 01:24:53.779 --> 01:24:57.960 beer on the wall. True story. Should we rename 01:24:57.960 --> 01:25:00.680 the drill so it's someone relevant? Probably, 01:25:00.760 --> 01:25:03.079 but no other basketball players have no other 01:25:03.079 --> 01:25:07.119 cages have worn 99 that I know of. I think Rodman 01:25:07.119 --> 01:25:12.479 wore 91. My next guy, and this is not for angry 01:25:12.479 --> 01:25:15.779 Jay, but I really believe this great Philadelphia 01:25:15.779 --> 01:25:20.460 Eagle pass rusher, JB. You know what I'm going 01:25:20.460 --> 01:25:22.770 with that, Jay? Yeah, Jerome Brown. Is he worthy 01:25:22.770 --> 01:25:28.750 of it? A Rushmore? For 99, I mean, he would be 01:25:28.750 --> 01:25:32.470 one of the last guys. He did. Yeah. Well, it 01:25:32.470 --> 01:25:36.130 was him or Gastineau for me. Oh, I'm picking 01:25:36.130 --> 01:25:39.250 Jerome Brown. But now my next two, I think you 01:25:39.250 --> 01:25:41.029 guys know because they're two of the greatest 01:25:41.029 --> 01:25:44.430 who ever lace them up in whatever sport. So great. 01:25:44.609 --> 01:25:48.039 One of them's nickname, The Great One. Yeah, 01:25:48.399 --> 01:25:50.699 Wayne Gretzky and by the way, if you ever seen 01:25:50.699 --> 01:25:53.479 any of those videos of him sprinting forget about 01:25:53.479 --> 01:25:57.760 his Forget about his hockey. He's faster and 01:25:57.760 --> 01:26:00.260 like most people on the planet He's like crushing 01:26:00.260 --> 01:26:02.659 these guys and he's superstar competitions, right? 01:26:06.079 --> 01:26:08.359 Remember day crushed them speaking of crushing 01:26:08.359 --> 01:26:10.420 wearing a collared shirt. If you remember course. 01:26:10.420 --> 01:26:14.060 Yeah and pop the collar speaking of crushing 01:26:15.960 --> 01:26:18.560 Not overdoing this, maybe one of the best baseball 01:26:18.560 --> 01:26:24.020 players we've seen in our lifetime. Judgy. I 01:26:24.020 --> 01:26:26.539 know he struggled in the playoffs, but like, 01:26:26.539 --> 01:26:29.199 boy, can he put those numbers up and carry a 01:26:29.199 --> 01:26:31.920 team in a regular season? Not only that, he says 01:26:31.920 --> 01:26:36.060 the right things. He said about the facial hair 01:26:36.060 --> 01:26:38.050 thing. Well, if you don't care about that. If 01:26:38.050 --> 01:26:39.750 that rule bothers you, maybe you're not the right 01:26:39.750 --> 01:26:42.409 guy to be here anyway. Soto wants to get into 01:26:42.409 --> 01:26:44.130 this thing where, oh, I don't have Judge hitting 01:26:44.130 --> 01:26:46.350 behind me anymore. He goes, I don't want to engage 01:26:46.350 --> 01:26:49.010 in that. He goes, I'll say nothing about it. 01:26:49.329 --> 01:26:52.449 Class act and a great player. I got Mike and 01:26:52.449 --> 01:26:55.630 JB. Is it too soon to put him on that list? That's 01:26:55.630 --> 01:27:00.010 the only thing. On what list? On your list. On 01:27:00.010 --> 01:27:04.050 my 99s? Yeah. Not even close. How many years 01:27:04.050 --> 01:27:07.609 he got now? Nine? How many guys wore 99? Is he 01:27:07.609 --> 01:27:13.369 10? He's got 50 hits right now. We played 30 01:27:13.369 --> 01:27:15.930 games. He has 50 hits, guys. Do some quick math. 01:27:16.109 --> 01:27:20.210 He has 50 hits. Just 50 hits. He's gonna get 01:27:20.210 --> 01:27:26.430 300 hits? Jesus. That's judgy. I'll take the 01:27:26.430 --> 01:27:27.890 under on the 300 hits, but yeah.
