• 0:00
  Speaker 1: River rocking, lake shaking, having a good time in the huddle.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew Olson, Bill Schmidt, Armin Sarian.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Your erstwhile trio here. Sifting through the events of the day,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: including a Brewers victory at Wrigley Field. Another come-from-behind victory.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: They picked up the Miz, who struggled and was not
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: his normal dominant self. Didn't need to be. Brewers prevail
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: against the always hated but never feared Cubs, pushing their
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: lead to a season-high nine games in the NL Central.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: That is a sweet, sweet number to have. Not five,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: not six, not seven. I'm glad we were able to
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: drop that one in here today. Look at you firing
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: that one back.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I was thinking that might be good for today because
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: he was right at that eight to nine point.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: I saved it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I was finally able to... But listen, yeah, they picked
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: him up. Oh, well, Miz got that big out. Was
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: that in the fourth? That was his last inning. His
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: shutdown fourth inning was big.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: So you know what? That was big.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Listen, any time that you were shutting the box and
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: shutting anybody down last night, because as Levering finished the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: second inning, he goes, I'm going to go get a
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: snack because I've been working for a while. The first
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: two innings were a slog. That was after a three-hour
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: and 20-minute game the night before. These are exhausting games.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I joke about it with Rock. 325 on Sunday they played.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Three hours and 25 minutes.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: So that's three of the last four games have been
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: some bedwetter. Thumbsuckers. Just imagine that. Some long nights.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: If there wasn't the pitch clock, and it's like, yeah, Murph,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I love how you guys take pitches.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: But like. That Sunday one would have been close to
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: four hours. Yeah. That Sunday one would have been over
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: four hours without the pitch clock.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Some were butchers like, you're not laughing now, Lev, when
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I had those Teddy Grahams in my pocket for the
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: basketball game.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Gotta have some kind of snack. Exactly. He used to
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: make a lot of popcorn. It's like, now I could
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: use one.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: At one point, Lev went into a full breakdown and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: preview of the Big Ten schedule coming up this weekend.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I love it. Just let everybody know. We got some
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: games coming up.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: The, uh.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Dodgers puked away a game last night at home with
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a 3-0 lead in the sixth against the Cardinals.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Thanks, St.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Louis.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: They lost six of their last eight.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Otani's struggling. They might shut him down for
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a little bit as a batter, not just a pitcher.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's interesting. He's got ailments. Look at
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: the way they're lighting up Yamamoto. He's hanging out with
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Kyle Tucker too much.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't know people could hit off Yamamoto.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: That's good to know. He can exist. That is nice.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Let's store that one in the memory bank, figure out
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: exactly how to utilize it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: But it is interesting, though, seeing a little bit of
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: this Cardinals one.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: It does remind me and looking at the talking text line,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: talking text line buzzing, by the way, hot this morning
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: on the talking text line. But Ryan Muskego had said,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I was extremely confident once it got to the bullpen
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: And guys, can we say it? Romero looks a nasty man.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Matt Arnold with a game does look good.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: He's a definite change of pace to everybody else they
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: have in the bullpen.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And Sensatella is not that bad either.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: People still.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Needles, especially, is leading the jihad against him.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Dan Needles is leading it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Dan always has one guy in the bullpen he can't stand,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the guy who gives up a run at one point
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: just all of a sudden.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: And Dan turns on him and thinks he sucks. Don't
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: get in his way when he's talking about a guy
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: like that. I was going to say, Needles is one
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: that you definitely don't want to be on that list.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: But the Romero thing is interesting.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: It reminds me of in 18 that Brewers picked up
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Joaquin Soria. who had really good years out of bullpens for, like,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Kansas City, obviously. And he was, like, a sixth-inning guy, seventh-inning.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: But he came in and would change things up. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: when you go inning by inning, especially in your playoff time,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I remember he had a big inning in game 163.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: That type of guy.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, Romero can be that type of guy where
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: he gives you that inning, changes it up, you know, the.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Nick Mears inning.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Still like the Ashbys and Halls, but, yeah, Romero's a
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: great fit.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: He fits right in there.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And now it's like, well, as long as you got 7, 8,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: 9 pretty much considered now, covered.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: You got them. Yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Andy Bay, McGill, Romero or Ashby or whoever, like matchup dependent,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: having guys for early in the games, too, because sometimes you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Got to put out the fire in the sixth, not
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: the eighth or ninth.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like, well, we got to especially in the playoffs.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: You're you're going to deploy your resources a little differently because.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: this is where the game is going to be decided.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So we got to have the best matchup here.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Well, people have been frying council. I know on the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: cup side for it with Palencia. Now I hadn't worked
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the last few days because the Brewers have hit him
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and he's probably their best reliever, but he's kind of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: coming off an injury if I'm not mistaken. And in
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that same vein, like, Hey, the game is on the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: line as it's three, three right now. And Yelich is
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: at the plate or it's in the sixth inning. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: like last night, a game was kind of in the balance.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It was right on the line of getting away from
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: them and comes in. And then the Brewers tag him again. Like,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: The game, whatever the turning point is, it's not always
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in the ninth inning. And last night, I mean, the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: bullpen goes five innings, gives up one hit and two
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: base runners.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: That's going to be, that's a winning recipe.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And on the other side, you're looking at it and saying,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: this is going to be a bullpen that's going to
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: be really, really hard to win with.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Especially with that lineup.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: You talk about Miz and who's getting Bregman out right
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: now anyway? He's been going crazy. That is a tough situation.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: That's what made the bullpen all that more impressive. Especially
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: when you had the lead. Those are harder outs to get,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I've always thought.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: With Romero coming back as well now, a real fresh
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: arm at this point.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: He's missed him for sure.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: A month and a half, two months with that appendectomy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: He comes in as fresh as anybody and you start
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: looking at the deadline a lot more in hindsight now
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: that this is the squad that you have going into it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: You grabbed a backup catcher who's apparently going to be
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: going to war with you in Bo Naylor because he's
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: up here with you now at this point, and he'll
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: probably be hanging out throughout the playoffs, whether he's on
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the roster or not.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: We'll see.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: But then he ended up getting two legit leverage arms
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: like we had talked about.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: We'll see what may ends up being.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And if he is one of the starters, uh, in
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, Drew, but you at least got the two
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: bullpen arms, which at one point in the season we
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: felt like was the most important thing for that.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. Hit us up. 877-794-1973.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no one's getting Bregman out, but the Brewers did.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Crow Armstrong only had a hit and two walks last night.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So he was on base three times. Scored two runs.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So he's still making things happen. Much like Yellich, when
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: he's not hitting, he's still... Finds ways to stick it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Well, and in the first inning when Suzuki looped the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: one over to Terang, you're thinking about it like, Dang,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: just that speed over there. I would have been tempted to,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you can't necessarily, a lot easier to think about this,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: hanging out on the couch. But if you let that
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: son of a gun drop, fire it over to second,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: get PCA off the bases. He's just a hell of
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: a player, and he gets it rolling with a different way.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: But I do also, I got to report, very happy to,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: still being called a blue-haired kid by Murph.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: He brought that back. I got the whole interview with
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the TBS guys. when he went back and forth with
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Pedro and then a little bit with Adam Lefkoe. He's like, man,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: you guys are holding down Pete Crow Armstrong better than
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: anybody else.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Whoa, whoa, man. Come on.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: You pulling for the Cubs right now? You trying to
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: wake up the blue-haired kid? Because if you wake up
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the blue-haired kid, there's.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Bad news, all right?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: We don't need any of this nonsense. So you just,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I get you're cheering for the Cubs. You keep that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: over there. But, Grandy, take care of this guy for you.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I do love the superstition aspect. It reminds me of
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: when we get texts from Janney. Janney Appleton, so happy
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: to see Ellie healthy and coming into the playoffs like this.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Hope I haven't jinxed him, but he's definitely feeling like
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: his old self again, watching him the third slide into home.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: A thing of beauty.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Nobody runs the bases better than him. Oh, Jannie's great.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Always worried about jinxing though. Like you can talk about baseball.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: It's okay.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Like I know we believe in the jinx. It's a
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: superstitious game.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: It's okay. You're allowed to, you know, you're allowed to
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: talk about baseball. Yes. Y'all just been doing a good job.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: So that's kind of what it reminded me of when
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Murph started talking about, Hey, don't start talking.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: About the blue haired kid. Don't talk about him.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: 877-794-1973.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: You know what we can talk about? Cause it's a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: self-contained story.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Who's hot.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Who's not brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen, heating and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: cooling Donovan Jorgensen.com employee owned. Since 1985, doing the best
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: work in HVAC. That's all they do is HVAC.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Check them out. DonovanJorgensen.com.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Who's hot, who's not? Two sides of the same coin.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Pablo Torrey, hot. Oh, my goodness.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: L.A.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Clippers, Steve Ballmer, et al. Not hot. Not hot.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Yikes.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: After an exhaustive and seemingly endless investigation, the NBA determined
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that the Clippers circumvented the salary cap with some nefarious
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: dealings for Kawhi Leonard laundering money through third-party sponsorships. The
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Clippers were fined $ 30 million and five first round draft picks.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard has to kick up 700 grand of his
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: ill gotten booty. And, uh, the Clippers also their owner
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and several other executives received suspensions, uh, Steve.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Ballmer banned for a year. What does it mean when
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: you're an owner banned for a year? You can't watch
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: your team? Can't sit courtside? Can't do that awkward grabbing
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: people's thighs as he's sitting next to him, losing his
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: mind courtside?
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Can he not go to the meetings and the retreats?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Out of the league meetings, out of the country club
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: for a year, he's banished. But the reason Pablo Torre
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: is hot is because Pablo Torre dug all this up
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and threw it out there and just waited for the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: NBA to actually react.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: And they did. People can say this is a striking penalty.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: It's $ 30 million to Steve Ballmer.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Well, the money's not a big deal.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: My man's got that hanging out in the car, in
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the glove compartment. Microsoft, one of the richest guys in
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the country. So $ 30 million is, all right, $ 30 million.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: But then Kawhi having to cough up some money, I'm
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: sure that's not going to sit well with him. All
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: he did was cash the checks.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: What was I going to do? Turn it down?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: The five first round draft picks. It's not insignificant for
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the franchise. Definitely not insignificant.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: That's all the ammunition that they would have had to
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: make any kind of moves out of this. And into
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: a point now where they trade Kawhi, they reboot and thinking,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: all right, we're going to rebuild. We just got ourselves
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a top five pick because we fleeced the Pacers this
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: past year in the Zubats trade. And good luck on
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: that rebuild without all five of your first-round picks over the.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Next five years. Off-run.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I read that their next draft pick is right now
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: 11 years old or in middle school or something like
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: that because they can't pick for I don't know, I
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: guess maybe because it was summertime or I mean, we
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: were hearing about this and we didn't hear about it
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: for awhile. I didn't expect something like this to come
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: down penalty. Well, I thought maybe a pick or two
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: or something like that. And we remember Bogdanovich, but This
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: felt really strong to me. Now, maybe it's just my
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: imagination or maybe I should have been ready for something
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: like this. I didn't see this coming down. This reminds
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: me of, you know, SMU got the death penalty in 84.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Like this is not the death penalty, but it's not
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: that far off from being severe compared to what we've seen.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah. And I think it really did have to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: be severe because if there's now in a world in
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the NBA where they have gotten to the point where
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I think the owners have been hoping for a while.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: They got the hard salary cap, right?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Like the second apron teams are Dolan's Knicks win the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: title this year. And he's on WFAN three days later
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: being like, you know what? We're definitely not going to
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: do go into that second apron cap. I'm not spending
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: that money, but more than anything, it's the fact that
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you don't, you can't take the roster building restrictions that
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: come along with it. So they've basically gotten the hard
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: cap teams are going to try. If this was going
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: to be a little slap on the wrist arm. And
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I think of one first round pick, And, you know,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a $ 5 million fine. The NBA drew to your point.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: They're loaded with Steve Ballmers now, right? Like we're dealing
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: with a lot of the richest of the rich folks
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: where if all it costs is money, why would I
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: not try it?
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Why would I not take the swing? This definitely keeps
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: teams from doing it. And one of the best parts
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: of this whole deal is Kawhi Leonard. I think you
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: got to find $ 700, 000. His uncle, who was his business manager,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: who was allegedly doing a lot of the middlemanning here
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: and the one that was negotiating it in the contracts
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and going to teams being like, hey, what do you
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: have for Kawhi outside of this? What do you have
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: for Kawhi outside of what's on this contract? And the
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Raptors are like, we have the contract that's in front
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: of us.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a lot of money for you. How
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: about that?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: We're going to offer you a million dollars a week.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Max contract. And he's like, well, yeah, but they're offering this, that,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: and the third. And he goes and signs with LA,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: manipulates the Paul George trade for the Clippers to the Thunder.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Which turns into Shea Gilgis Alexander going to the Thunder.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, this lottery ticket that they had of bringing
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard home, guy that always wanted to play back
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: in Los Angeles and thought about going to the Lakers,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: wanting to go to the Lakers, settles for the Clippers.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: May have just ruined their entire run for the next decade.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: It is pretty wild when you think about it. Now,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I did hear, Wendy was talking to Scott Van Pelt
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: last night about this and said people were comparing it
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: to the Joe Smith penalty with the Timberwolves. I don't
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: remember all the exact specifics, but the point was the
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Wolves were docked five picks for something with Joe Smith.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: And the key was they took the penalty in terms of,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: you know, they didn't try and fight it like the
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Clippers want to do.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: They're trying to clear their name and they want to
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: fight it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: And he said by not fighting it, the Timberwolves were eventually,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: the discipline was eventually reduced. Like they would give a
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: pick back every couple of years if they behaved, I guess.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: It's sort of like when you're in jail and you
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: get your sentence reduced on.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Reconnaissance, I guess.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: So maybe possibly the Clippers could do that if they
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: don't fight it, if they take their penalty, if they
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: show their remorse and They're contrite with the, I don't
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: know what they have to do, but I don't, we
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: don't know. Cause it's Adam silver and there's not much
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: precedence and he wants to swing that heavy hand now maybe,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: but maybe if those things, if the Clippers handle it
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: a certain way, they could get this thing reduced.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure, but it is possible. We didn't see
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: that your boy.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Glenn taylor not a very good owner i'm reading up
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: on this joe smith story yeah it's a real bad
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: deal my man was the worst owner maybe sports has
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: ever seen because he couldn't even sell his team right
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: he sold the timberwolves and then they like quadrupled yeah
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: yeah no actually wait now we have anthony edwards no
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: now i want this bag now i oh wait i
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: can't sell it for.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: More that hurt the wolves for a while that deal
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: they tried to.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: The flip side of this all the shady dealings that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: balmer did and uh it was pablo tory who and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a flagrant act of journalism, old school, wrote this and
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: made the NBA react.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Carried the flag for journalism, Drew. There you go.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: It was just a couple weeks ago. Cuban was like, oh,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you know, Team Balmer, Pablo should have done more and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: found out. And then all of a sudden, this comes down.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And yeah, Cuban's like, congratulations, Pablo. Not for nothing, as
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: people have pointed out, ESPN. once had Pablo Torre under
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: their employee. He could have been breaking stories like this,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: but they decided, well, we don't want to spend money
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: on that. Let's give it to McAfee instead.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's give it to McAfee, Shams, and get just
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the send-in text of, all right, well, this is the
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: information that we have.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Let's roll.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: And Shams had not reported anything on this story at
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: all throughout the entire time. Absolutely crickets on this deal.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, this was, you know... It was Pablo's deal.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: And you wonder if that's, again, because... ESPN and the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: leagues are such cahoots.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: But maybe that's why they didn't have room for Pablo.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Because ESPN used to do journalism. We don't have room
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: for that. MTV used to play music. ESPN used to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: do journalism.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe if they tell Shams to chase down his side
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: of this or his story.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: They're like, well, Pablo's going to beat you anyway, so
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: it's just going to look bad. Maybe you should just
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: ignore it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Or he would take a page from Schefter's book and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: send the story to Ballmer to have him edit it
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and see if there's anything that he wants to change.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, boss, is there anything that
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: you want me to change in this one? Mr. Editor. Mr.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Editor.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: That was the Schefter one. Yes, Mr.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Editor. And maybe they didn't have enough time in the
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: editing room because he couldn't get the takeout clean.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: So this is like this. Okay.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: In the terms of NBA stories, this is like one
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: of the biggest NBA stories.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: A long time. Yeah, it's a big one. Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: And in sports journalism, it's one of the biggest stories.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: This is like Pulitzer Prize type material. You unearthed a
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: scandal that ended up leading to suspensions and $ 30 million fine.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: For a full year for an NBA owner. First round picks.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: That's a seismic franchise altering investigation that he had.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: And it also drew has hung up one of the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: big moves, biggest moves of the NBA off season, which
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: was the Leonard trade to back to Toronto.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Right. Like, I mean, that was, that's been hanging in
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the balance here. And one of the reasons why that
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: thing got not necessarily mixed, they said it was on
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: delay was because they were waiting for the findings of this.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: This goes back all the way pre finals. When Adam
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Silver said it at his press conference, like, yeah, we
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: need to get that wrapped up quickly. We need to
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: get that wrapped up soon. Well, soon was September 2nd,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: and it took all summer. They nursed this bad boy along.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: And if it wasn't for Pablo and him continually bringing
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: and unearthing new parts of it, I don't know that
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: they were going to be able to find any of it.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: So it's impressive, impressive stuff. It's also a heck of
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: a win.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: For all these small market teams that can't be spending
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: like Steve Ballmer. We don't have that kind of cash.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I am, though, going to miss him losing his mind
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: on the sidelines for a year. Those are fun to watch.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: I can't say I watch a whole lot of Clippers basketball.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: But those highlights, maybe? But the highlights of him losing
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: his mind on the sidelines, I am going to miss. Well,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. I'm definitely not about to watch
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: more Clippers basketball in the next 10 years. This is
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: definitely not going to have me watching any more Clippers games.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: That's for sure. Really quick to localize it. I mean,
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: what does this mean?
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Gary Trent, obviously. So people have brought that up. Bucs
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: were getting looked at because of the Gary Trent deal.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Gary Trent's hanging out with the boys.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Come on. Will he earn that money? I think so.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Will he earn that money?
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I think so. Well, he was good two years ago.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: People forget in the playoffs. I'm wondering, though, what this means.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Are the Bucs going to be docked something much worse
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: than I thought.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: They would be?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Shams was helping the Bucs when he said there were
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: other teams that were interested in Gary Trent.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: One of the things that will be interesting about this
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: is that the Clippers– They put out this statement, again,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: tone deaf, like we're going to fight this fraudulent charge, right?
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Right. Fee immediately reject.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Are they also going to, you know, on their way down,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: will they try to take some teams down with them?
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: That'll be interesting to see. Very true. Could be.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Then maybe they will squawk about Gary Trent and like, oh,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: what about this?
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: What about this? Like, oh, you're going to make me
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: take down my trampoline? Well, let's go. Let's see.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: The Homeowners Association rules.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Let's see that house, that house, that house.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: And you start seeing who the real power brokers are.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Who is Kawhi Leonard's guy negotiating this?
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: His uncle. His uncle. If he was doing it with
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: a rich Paul, maybe it would be a different deal.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: We'll see how much this tangled web starts unraveling.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Losing in this, so is Shams, so is ESPN. Their
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: reporting on this was behind and bad. They were just
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: getting fed stuff by the Clippers, and it was not good.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Not a good look at all, in terms of the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: journalism scoreboard. And now they've got a post about Pablo Torre.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Congratulations all day long.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: That's a good one.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Who's hot, who's not? Pablo Torre's hot, Clipper's not. When
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: we come back, you know who's hot? Scott Dolphin.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Always.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Going to join us for halftime of the Thursday edition
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: of The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Halftime of the huddle.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Halfway through today's festivities, Drew, Billy, and Armand bringing it
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to you. 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison. Happy to be joined
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: by Scott Dolph and our halftime correspondent from the country
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: station on the hall, FM 106.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: And Dolph, we got a text today. Or was it
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: last night or this morning? A little last night. A
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: little heads up last night. Yes, sir.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: A little heads up. A little honorarium for your brother.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how about that? Congratulations, Gary. Gary Dolphin, voice of
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: the Hawkeyes. Name the press box. I believe it's the
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: radio booth. The communication center.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Well, just like Bob Euchre at AmFam Field, the Bob
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Euchre Communication Center.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: I love that. Yeah. I mean, he was thrilled and surprised.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Kirk Ferentz dropped that news on him yesterday during their interview,
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: which is pretty cool. A lot of legendary broadcasters in
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: the state of Iowa have have worked up in that
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: press box, and now he's done.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: It for, I think this is going to be his
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: 30th year of Iowa football. He said 30 years on
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: the video. It was awesome to be able to hear.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I'm glad they did it now while he's there to
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: enjoy it. A lot of times these things that happen,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: guys are gone when they do this stuff.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I'm glad they did it now.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: I keep asking him, when are you going to retire?
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: He told me like 10 years ago. Maybe another five
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: years and then another five years. Well, once Eddie Podolak leaves,
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: I'll probably leave too, and Ed's been gone for a while,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: and now he's working with Pat Angerer. longtime Hawkeye and
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: NFL player, and he's still going strong.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: People need him, man. That's how it goes. He still
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: loves it, still enjoys it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Well, it's also got to be a little bit hard
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: when the team ends up being so damn good, right?
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Like now with Ben McCollum coming in and basketball is like,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: wait a second, all the games that I called and
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: now you guys, now I should retire. It's this courtside
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: seat for the best team that we've had in 50 years.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: No chance.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: It's a good time to be there because, you know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: they went through some dark ages and They went through
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: the Todd Licklider years in basketball.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: And, of course, when he got the job, it was
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: the end of the Hayden Fry era. They were not good.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: They were okay.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: They were making bowl games. And then Ferentz came in,
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: and I think they won four games in three years.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: They were not good at all. Bad coach. But there
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: was some excitement originally for him, wasn't there? Licklider? But
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: once upon a time, I think when he first came in,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I remember those days.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he was the reigning coach of the
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: year at Butler and was just lost at Iowa.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: I think it was bad.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: You know, our buddy Wayne Larrabee started out doing Iowa
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Hawkeyes games.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, he did.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Uh and astt radio in davenport yeah my first radio
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: market the quad cities wayne was there significantly ahead of
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: me way before i was but i think he left
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: there after calling iowa and he took he got the
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: kansas city chiefs chief job right after that wow yeah
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: but wait iowa games yeah it was the wild wild
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: west then because you would have eight or ten different
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: crews calling wisconsin football or iowa football in those days
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: there was no learfield there was no one central uh
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: unit that did for all the entire state. It was
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: just whoever wanted to broadcast the games. You could sell
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: your own little commercials in Dubuque or wherever and you
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: could do it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Now, I got to wonder because this happens for your
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: brother and then it's like, well, we got to celebrate something.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: He had to get something because Dolphin FM 106.1 just.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Nominated once again for CMA.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Once again, every year, annual tradition. I do feel good
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: for your brother because now he can finally say something.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, Scott, I know every year you guys
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: are going to be nominated for a CMA because you're.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Just that damn good.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: It was funny you mentioned that because about three years ago,
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: we got to co-emcee a hospital event back in Iowa.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: And he had just been named the Iowa Sportscaster of
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: the Year or whatever. And I had snuck my CMA
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: award in one of my CMA awards.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Into the event.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: I said, that's cool, but do you have one of
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: these I put on the podium? Oh! That was a
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: fun night. What are we going to name around here
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: after you? Because that's what I was thinking of. We've
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: got to name something after Dolph.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Scott Dolphin Hallway.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, definitely the hallway in some
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: form or fashion. But we got to fix the carpet
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: and the runner over here before we name something in
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: the hallway after Scott Ball.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: You know what I'd like?
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Maybe my parking spot, because I parked in that same
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: damn spot. I park in the east lot. You guys all,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: I think, park in the west lot.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you have your own area. You have your whole
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: part of the building there.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: I do, because back in the day, 20-whatever-it-was-years-ago, our office
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: was right inside that back door.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Sure, yeah.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: And so I always parked over there. Well, now I
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: still park in the same spot, you know, where Creatures
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: of Habit. So maybe if I can get a little
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: slot in front of my parking spot, that would.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Make me happy. Well, I think we can absolutely make
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: that happen.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm glad you mentioned parking spots because there has
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: been somebody on this huddle program. whose world has kind
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: of been turned upside down as of late because of
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: a parking spot.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: What's going on? He's actually been handling it quite well
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: because I don't know what's going on here. Someone's been
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: in my spot. Okay.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Because you have your spot and understandably. So I've been,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: I've been kind of going into the same spot too
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: for a while. All of a sudden there's this big
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: old truck, man. I get here early enough where I
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: feel like no one's going to get my spot.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what's this truck doing here? Now, this is
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: the engineering truck. It's the engineer truck. I'm a little chapped.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: But then today, it wasn't in there, but you weren't
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: parked in that spot when I pulled up.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Because also, there was something next to it, and there
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: wasn't enough room. I don't want anything in. I'm making
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: a point here.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Isn't it funny, though, when somebody takes your parking spot,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: even though it's really not your parking spot, but you
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: park there every day, and somebody's in your spot.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: You're like, come on, man. What's going on here? Why
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: are you doing that to me? I asked Billy, you
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: think I can push this thing onto the lawn?
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Ha ha!
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: But I can't do that. It's like an F-150 extended
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: super cab.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Also, it's definitely like Jeff or Michael, one of our engineers.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: I would struggle to think you're pushing a Hot Wheels
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: on it. Yeah.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: And also, it's like, you know, they're probably doing important work.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: You know, like compared to what I.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Well, so are you, though. Well, thank you. But I mean,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: come on. Come on.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: I'm not keeping this on the. It's not like I'm
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: climbing transmitters and stuff. So maybe they're doing something like that.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe they deserve that nicer.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: You know what? Maybe I'll just kind of whip around
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: here and park over here.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: I will never forget a couple of years ago. We
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: had a Newstalk guy here, a very popular Jay Weber,
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: who did the morning show on our Newstalk station. He
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: always parked his truck in the same spot every single
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: morning for years and years and years and decades. And
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: one day somebody went on vacation. and they left their
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: car here for like 10 days, and it was in
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Jay's spot.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: He about lost his mind. He said, Jay, you can
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: park right next to it. No, this is my spot.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: I like to park right next to the brass so
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: nobody can door ding me. It's the funniest thing.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: It is funny because what people need to know is
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: we've got room here. There's spots.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: It's not like we've got... It's not like there's a
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: lot of cars parking in the parking lot.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: No.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: That's hilarious.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Hey, Dolph, Brewer's winning a game when Miz wasn't at
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: his best. Cubs has got to be thinking, oh, what
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: do we have to do?
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: I thought the way they were not only, you know,
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: you could tell clearly he had nothing but the fastball.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: And even that wasn't good last night. And he was
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: slipping again. And the Cubs were rocking him. You know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: was it five earned? So you're thinking this night is
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: not going to he's going to he's going to get
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: tagged with the L. But the offense comes together. And
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: just like they did the night before, you know, it
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: starts small. And then you got guys that are on
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: fire right now, like Churio and. And Contreras, just like that,
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: 14 hits later, they end up beating him going away easily.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: It's strange for him to give up as many hits
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: as he had strikeouts.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Not used to that. It's just different. Conditions were weird
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: last night.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: It was a hot July night in September in Wrigley
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: So this crossed my mind, the conspiracy theorist that I am.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: This crossed my mind because you always remember back in
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: the day, you heard notorious stories of the Cubs ground
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: screws growing the grass longer to slow teams down. You
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: don't suppose they over watered that That mound, do you?
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: You do wonder.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: You're not the only person to say it. Our friend
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Janny and Appleton threw it out earlier this morning.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: They saw it at Citi Field last week where he
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: was struggling. Getting his head. Yeah, and so why not
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: do it? Try to get every advantage you can over
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: the best pitcher in baseball.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: He threw his side session on that mound the other day,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: which I guess the Brewers had to get permission from
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the Cubs because the grounds crew, those guys are protected
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: of the mound, but then the Cubs.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Clearly said, oh, yeah, go ahead. There's zero question. Teams
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: are going to look for edges. Yeah.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: So I think pitchers might start doing that now. Like
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: somebody's going to see that. It's almost it's like a trend.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Years ago, I don't remember what team started it. But
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: let's say you're in a getaway game and you're playing
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh and it's a night game. And then your
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: next game is going to be in.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Let's insert. Let's say you're going to play Houston. Mm hmm.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: They would take the guy who's going to start the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: opener of the Houston game and fly him out early
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the day before to let him sleep and get a
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: full night's sleep and not have to get in at
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: three in the morning and stuff. So that one pitcher
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: would get like a first class ticket, fly by himself,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: go to the next city.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: And now we see that regularly during the playoffs, right?
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: If they're playing the Dodgers, you're going to send whoever
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: back to Milwaukee. Whoever's going to come back. And so
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: they do that to give them a little rest. And
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: now that Miz threw a bullpen on the actual game mound.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: Other guys are going to start with that.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Well, it is a copycat trend. Remember Torpedo Bats? We've
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: talked to.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Wags about that, too. Sometimes the bullpen mounts just feel different.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: You get out there, and it feels totally different.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: They're not all the same.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: Explain that Wrigley Field bullpen to me. It looks like
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: a bomb shelter when they're in there.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: It totally does, Dolph. You're spot on. I miss the
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: days when they were just right down the baselines. Throw
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: into catchers, and every once in a while, oh, time, time, ball's.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: On the field. Watch out, somebody's in there. Hold on,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: hold on. Bullpen catcher missed the ball.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: You definitely had to pick when you were throwing the pitch, too, right,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: in the bullpen, because you had to be on your stuff,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: because that heater was coming down the line. It does
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: look like a bomb shelter. It also looks like it's
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: a shelter from all the fighting that happens in the bleachers.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: They're trying to say the bleachers are nice. customary place.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: That place is an absolute nutcase, right?
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: It absolutely is. They can put out all the romantic
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: comedies they want. It's still the bleachers.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: It's a scary, scary spot. So we're protecting all those
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: guys from all costs. The tough thing is what happens
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: if there's a scrap?
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Do they then have to bust open that barn door
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: in the bomb shelter? They got TVs on there, but
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's going to take an extra two
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: minutes to be able to get out and already missed.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: For their soft jog into the brawl. As bullpen pitchers
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: do now. As everything finishes off. No, we just missed it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I used to sit on the foul line and stuff
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: those old school pens that were on the field.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: That was like, you know. Because then you can bring
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: a chair, too. You'd be close enough. Well, there was
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: always one guy. A lot of interaction with the fans
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: down there, too. A lot of fun.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: And it was always like whoever the Easton McGee was
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: or the Bryce, you know, Bryce Wilson had to sit
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: and defend. Like, if you had your back turned, you
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: had to sit and watch for ground balls.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: So they had to sit.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: There and be ready with the glove, right? They had
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: to be one guy. They always had to be one
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: guy to do that. I remember we had we got.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: tickets right on the wall one day. It was Cubs-Mets
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: of all teams, or maybe it was Reds, but Jesse
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Orozco was in the pen and was sitting right below us.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: He talked to us for like five straight innings.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: I kid you not.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Were you going to dinner tonight?
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Any good recommendations? Jesse Orozco. He's probably bored. He's got
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: nothing else to do.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: It's exciting for the first couple of innings, and you're like,
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: all right, we're done talking here.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: We're having our own conversation. It's like, we're done here, buddy.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: A pitcher from the Cardinals was sitting in the pen
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: and started chatting up a woman.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: They ended up being married. Wow. Back to Armand's romantic comedies.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, bullpen romances happen.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, David Coles was a bit different, but I mean,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: look that up.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: But I mean, sometimes it can happen. Sometimes it can happen.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: I remember the pitching coach giving me a home run
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: ball when we were at the Metrodome. My mom had
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: to go to Minnesota for work. So my dad and
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: I went to the Twins Mariners game. And the pitch,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: we were right by their pitching coach, threw me a ball.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: That was one of the most exciting things that happened.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: It wasn't even a county stadium. Love that. So it's good.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Memories, you know, to have. Good memories to have. Still
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: one of some of the best seats in American family field.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: If you want to get down in there in the 200s,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: or in the one hundreds in the right field bleachers,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: you can get right there by the road team. Oh yeah.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: And watch them. That'd be the two, two level, two level.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: It's so, it's so fun to be right there watching
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: them pitch. So yeah, that is, those are great seats. Yeah.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Tommy and Salas, the Cubs, 100% sabotage that mountain. This
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: is a franchise that had a sunburn rain out because
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: their bullpen was taxed.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Come on. Let's farm this.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Listen, the other part of the mound deal for Miz
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: is he's so far ahead of everybody else, you very
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: easily could just say, oh, I'm sorry, no one ever
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: lands there.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: No one ever lands there. That would be accurate.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: We're just trying to make sure nobody takes one off
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: the leg. And they had video of him throwing his
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: bullpen on that.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Mound, and they saw where he landed. They're like, okay,
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: right there, let's do this. Hey, Johnny, you know what
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: to do.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Angel Stadium is where that kind of started this year,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: where he talked about how bad the mound.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Was, and that's where he had trouble. He had troubles
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: A couple of road mounds. He also did it in
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: the nicest way possible.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: It was the worst mound I've ever met him. You
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: look at the Cubs team.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Awful.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: Drew, you mentioned the other day, one of the best defensive,
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: not the best defensive team in baseball. They are absolutely
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: raking right now with PCA and Bregman, those guys. But
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: that bullpen, they're not. They're not advancing through the first
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: round of the playoffs with that bullpen unless they get healthy.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: It's rough, man. It's brutal. That is definitely their Achilles heel.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: And when you get their starters like the Brewers did
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: last night, it's pretty much over. Even if you're only
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: up a run, if you're the Cubs.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: It was tie ball game and it goes to the
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: bullpen and you knew that they were cooked because at
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: some point that was going to blow up on him.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: And not only because my man blew up as he
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: walked off the mound. Was that guy mad at Tyrone
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Taylor for not catching the ball, or was he mad
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: at himself?
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: I think he was pissed that he gave up three bloops.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: And then he got out. He was a scary cat
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: to see walking down the dugout. I know.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: He looked a little disturbed at that moment. Yeah, I
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: think he was upset.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: It was some bad luck.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: And then the Brewers almost got another bloop for a
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: couple runs, but that was a great play by, was
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: it Nico Horner that made the flat-out dive?
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: It was a sweet play. That's one of the best
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: plays you'll see all year.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Cubs are still a good team. I just don't think
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: they're as good as the Brewers this year. Though, in
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: a given series with that lineup, they can beat anybody.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: They can, but now they're behind the Phillies. And if
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: the Phillies get the top wild card, you know, that's
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: going to be a tough out.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: I agree. And that's going to be a knock-down drag-out.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: That's going to be something. Incredible three-gamer. It would be.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: And if it's in Philly, that's just a hornet's nestle
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: of a place.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Murph called Wrigley Field the best home field advantage in baseball.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: That's one-two, right? I think that's one-two.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers are... coughing and sputtering and wheezing, but you
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: don't know. Can they just put the paddles to it
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: like they've done before and all of a sudden get
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: better in October?
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: They have fallen behind the Braves now by half game.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't break my heart to see them play a
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: first-round series either. That would be fun. Maybe the planets
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: will align because the Dodgers puked one away last night. Cubs'
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: bullpen is shaky.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's the Brewers' year.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Is this the best time for sports or what? You've
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: got 22 games left in the baseball season, then it's playoffs.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: College football is stacked tonight. You've got a couple of
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Big Ten.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Teams in action.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: And then we're inside a week away from the NFL
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: firing up.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Yep, finally. We didn't mark that yesterday, Wednesday, right? That's right.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because he got weird. Yeah, the Wednesday night game's weird.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: So a week from tonight is the first Thursday game,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: but we got the Wednesday game before it.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: And there's an international game next week, too?
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Next week, Thursday, is our chance to watch the Rams
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: lose their first game. And that'll be right after the
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl champions play in the Rossini Bowl against the Patriots.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: Billy was giving me a hard time because I was
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: bristling at the... the dumb talk of can the Rams
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: go undefeated? Like what? I'm so with you though. You're like,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: are you new here?
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: It's like these dumb conversations like on ESPN stuff, but that,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: that had legs, man. It went on for like a
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: day and a half. People saying, can the Rams go 17-0? Like,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: let's see them go, you know, 2-1.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see them beat the substation down in Australia first.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: What do you think, Aaron Donald? Is he going to
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: be legit? I mean, he's not. Is he going to
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: be what we remember him as? If he's 60% of
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: what he was, he's still going to be better than most.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, he's still going to be
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: damn near the best guy in the league. As soon
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: as he signed, they said that he's questionable for week one.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: He's hurt.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what? How did that happen? Well, it's going
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: to take a while to get in football shape. Two
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: years off is a lot. It's going to take a
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: little while. And also.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I still don't know why you'd send him out there,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: but if he's going to be on the team, we're
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: all making the trip.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: If one's going, we're all going. Yeah, that's true.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: They're also barely even going to get a sweat over there.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I would say, and that one clown who said that
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: there was 68% or that they would go 17-0. I'd
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: say it's a better chance of them going one and
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: two in the first three than it is. He's got
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: to be studying that new math that they're trying to teach.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Insanity.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: That's the case. There's no way that math is math. Dolph,

  Speaker 5: the thing with Dolph, he said, on the mic, he said,
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: I've been in radio since you were in diapers.

• 36:06
  Speaker 4: I just sent Billy a funny picture. That is just so,
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: so good. Starting quarterback. A little AI version of Kyler Murray.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: A little tiny man.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Here's one for you. This will warm the cockles. Maybe
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: he should be our superhero of the day. Brought to
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: us by Current Electric. Call current.com. The great, and I
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: say this. Tongue firmly planted in cheek. The great Skip Bayless.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Put out into the Twitterverse yesterday. I'm starting to think
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings are going to win that division.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: And immediately, even Vikings fans are like, shut up, Skip.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: And one guy.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Points out, as a Vikings fan, we will know in
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: week one whether we're going to be 6-11 or 11-6,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: and I won't be surprised either way.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: They are the biggest wild card, I think, in the
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: NFL this year. Here's the thing, and it might be
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: hard to process this as Packers fans. The Vikings are favored.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Week one at U.S.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Bank Stadium, Vikings are a one and a half point favorite.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Now you can say, well, home field should be worth three.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: So actually, no, they're favored. That is what it is.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is what it is.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Packers will start their first game as an underdog. That
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: hasn't happened that often.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: No, especially against a team that finished tied for last
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: in the division a year ago in Minnesota.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: But they did win their last four or five games,
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a really unique division. I mean, you
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: have the lions getting the betting favorite and the Cubs
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: or the Cubs, the bears and the Packers have all
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: this hype.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: And stuff like that.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Just like Armin, when he goes to Pornhub, I'm here
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: for the comments though, because the comments under skip, it's
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: mostly the most angry people are not Vikings fans, which
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: you might expect you to shut up.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: What are you talking about?
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Don't because I thought we were going to be good.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Now that you think we're going to be good at,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: we're going to suck. And it's like the reverse lock, right?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: But the most angry people seem to be Bears fans.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: For sure.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Give us the respect we deserve. They're triggered by this.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: So maybe Skip should be our... Do we have another candidate?
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: I don't want to give Skip any awards.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what?
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Here, I got a possibility for you. A 47-year-old father
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: of three who returned to the college football field Oh,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I like this. Justin buzzard completes his dream of 30
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: years in the making, taking defensive snaps for the Jags
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: of San Jose city college. Now it's never too late
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: to make a comeback. You prove this one from a
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: NBC Bay area. While 35. is generally considered a little
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: old by football standards, right? I mean, Christian, he's one
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: of the old, he's the oldest guy on the brewers
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: right now. And that's that he stepped in onto the
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: field with just five minutes remaining in the recent loss
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: for San Jose city college.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: We won't talk about what the scoreboard read.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, my man stepped on just know Justin
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: buzzard sparked a 14, nothing run.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: For the Jags. I love that.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: They may have been down 41-7 with five minutes to go.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: That's fine.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: When my man Justin got his first snap, teammates call
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: him OG. But as he said in an interview a
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: few weeks ago after making the roster, they've given me
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: a shot. I become part of the team, part of
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the family, my teammates and coaches. Although the game ended
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: in a blowout loss, it was a dream in the making.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: A 47-year-old taking college football snaps against the College of Redwoods.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: I'm loving that.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: That's our current electric superhero of the day. Callcurrent.com, the website.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Superheroes on the side of the van and inside. Why
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: did I never have to block a 47? I was
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: going to say, you would have been in good shape there.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I'd have looked a lot better on tape.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: This is wild. I'd have been a lot better player
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: if I.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Was playing dads of three in college.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: And then you get, you bristle and people are mad
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: at the stories of guys who are getting cut and
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: going to NFL.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: From NFL camps to LSU.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Nobody was mad at this pro. Not mad at this guy.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: He's been a professional pastor for the last 20 years.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Not mad at him at all. I don't see anybody
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: being upset at San Jose City College for giving him
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: an opportunity.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: The Lord was with him. Didn't you ever see Reggie's prayer? Yeah, really.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Mike Greenberg was trying to kind of wash this a
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: little bit. Like, it's not what people think. It's not
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson's not going to like the offer he
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: gets from Baltimore and then.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Go play at Alabama. Right.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's guys. And it's the rule that
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: changed just a couple of months ago that are.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: Allowing guys to do it messed up. Shockingly. Of course
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: they did. Of course. Shockingly.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: So are, is this misplaced? Are people mad for over
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: angry on this Billy? I don't think it's, I don't
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: think it's completely misplaced because at the end of the day, drew,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: you see somebody in an NFL uniform and then see
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: him in a college uniform. That's a hard one to
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: melt your brain around, but it's not that, but it's
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: not going to break college sports. I watched five guys
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: from the G league go and play college basketball.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: I said that from the other day though.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: It's like, it used to be, there were two things
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: that could get you be, make you be done in college.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: One was betting on your own team and the other
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: was going professional.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Now both might work a little gray area there. You
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: just need the right judge and you can still bet. Oh,
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: this is epic.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: You're in the huddle Fox sports radio, Wisconsin hunters coming
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: up at seven 25.
