  in the game. Little Jay-Z got to flow.

• 2:57

• 3:43
  I do not understand the weather and I always come into this when
• 3:47
  it comes to shows. And it's not just this one, the
• 3:50
  weekend crunch over the weekend. I don't know if it's going to be
• 3:53
  a summer day, a spring day, a fall day or a winter day.
• 3:57
  And and the reason why is right now it's 46°.
• 4:01
  The other day it was 72. New York weather just goes from
• 4:05
  one thing to another and it's raining today.
• 4:08
  So everybody said it was bad weather and they think rains,
• 4:11
  bad weather. I think more likely snow 12
• 4:14
  inches, 16 inches or even at one point this year we had 30
• 4:19
  inches. It's, it's been crazy.
• 4:21
  It's been a crazy year when it comes to weather.
• 4:23
  And we're only four months in. My 44th birthday is the 29th of
• 4:28
  this month. And I'm wondering what is it
• 4:31
  going to be? Is it going to be a rainy day?
• 4:33
  Is it going to be a cold, breezy day?
• 4:35
  I actually a couple of years ago had a snowy April 29th birthday.
• 4:40
  So it doesn't make any sense. And, and here's another thing,
• 4:43
  for all the fans that drive or have been here on Long Island on
• 4:48
  347, this is the worst highway in New York.
• 4:52
  It's worse than the LIE. It's worse than the southern
• 4:55
  state, the northern state, you name it, it's worse. 135I.
• 4:59
  I don't get it. Every single day they're doing
• 5:02
  something with the traffic lights, some kind of road work.
• 5:06
  It just never ends. When is this ever going to end?
• 5:09
  They're using too many tax money out there.
• 5:13
  And, and I, I wonder where our taxes are going because over the
• 5:17
  last couple of years, it seems like our taxes are going up when
• 5:20
  it comes to housing. Even our landlords, if you have,
• 5:24
  if you're renting a place, they're raising the rent because
• 5:27
  they say the taxes are going up. So it, it, it's ridiculous.
• 5:31
  I'm not going to be political on this, but there's got to be
• 5:35
  something done. I, I know you live in Georgia.
• 5:37
  What is it over there as far as taxes are concerned?
• 5:39
  Is it as bad as it? Is no, no, no.
• 5:44
  It's not as bad as it's probably almost half of what you guys are
• 5:47
  paying. No, that's probably why you
• 5:49
  moved there. I mean, you lived here in New
• 5:50
  York for a significant. Amount of time.
• 5:53
  I actually did. You live in New Jersey or New
• 5:55
  York? New Jersey.
• 5:56
  New Jersey. Long Park, Florida baby.
• 6:00
  Did you live in a condo or did you live in a house?
• 6:03
  I live in the condo. It was no need for me to buy
• 6:05
  house up there. I was only going to be there for
• 6:07
  the season. Right.
• 6:08
  And, and how long have you lived in Georgia?
• 6:10
  What? What is it like over there in
• 6:11
  Georgia? Where?
• 6:12
  You're living 3. This is my third going on 4th
• 6:15
  year. It's beautiful man.
• 6:17
  It's southern hospitality, weather.
• 6:19
  It's nice. I think we was in 75 today, you
• 6:22
  know, not to brag. It was a good time.
• 6:24
  It's a good time down here, man. You know, everybody loves each
• 6:27
  other. I really had no issues.
• 6:29
  A lot of good food. So you got to stay working out.
• 6:31
  That's about it. But I thought of that.
• 6:33
  It's pretty, you know, traditional, you know, nothing
• 6:36
  major, nothing different. Not too high, not too low.
• 6:39
  My friend, my friend Ray, actually lived in Georgia before
• 6:43
  he moved back here in New York. He got a divorce and his wife,
• 6:47
  they were cops. They're retired cops.
• 6:50
  They moved out to Georgia because she wanted to move out
• 6:52
  closer to our family and he and it's warmer there.
• 6:55
  It's it's better to raise a family.
• 6:57
  They wanted up never having any children.
• 6:59
  They had a couple of dogs and he said that it was just so boring
• 7:03
  over there. He he lived right next to next
• 7:06
  to the airport over there in Georgia, so.
• 7:09
  Yeah, that's not a not necessarily a prime time real
• 7:11
  estate. Yeah, Yeah, it could.
• 7:13
  It could be it. A lot of city people is what I
• 7:16
  call Northerners. You know, you guys are city
• 7:18
  people. They get bored down here because
• 7:21
  everything is slow. City.
• 7:23
  I live in Long Island, New York. I don't know if you call this
• 7:25
  city. What they would call it Long
• 7:27
  Island country up there, but it's city compared to anything
• 7:30
  down. Here, that's what it is.
• 7:31
  Over here. This is like a country place to
• 7:33
  live and there's more rural than there is city life.
• 7:38
  But the towns are beautiful and you get a chance to have the
• 7:42
  best of both worlds. You have beautiful beaches here
• 7:44
  on Long Island, wonderful wineries and great restaurants,
• 7:48
  so you can't complain about the food over here.
• 7:51
  And I know you're not going to say New York is one of the best
• 7:54
  places when it comes to food, but I absolutely adore it
• 7:57
  because I've been all over the world as a DJ or even as a
• 8:01
  broadcaster. I've I've traveled so many
• 8:03
  places, even in different countries and I just, I just
• 8:07
  like the food here more. And and even even though the
• 8:11
  after parties and the parties aren't the same, the club life
• 8:14
  isn't the same anymore. That get used to be because more
• 8:18
  richer people live down here now and they enjoy the fact that
• 8:23
  it's quiet, that everything gets shut down by two O clock, 3 O
• 8:26
  clock. They don't want it to go 5 or 6
• 8:28
  in the morning like it is in a city.
• 8:29
  And even the city life here in New York isn't the same.
• 8:33
  You go out to the city. I mean, they do have rooftop
• 8:35
  parties and and they're somewhat fun.
• 8:38
  But even the underground places that used to stay open like
• 8:42
  Sound Factory or Pasha, they don't stay out.
• 8:45
  Those places used to stay open overnight.
• 8:47
  They would be open for 24 hours. They'd have unbelievable
• 8:50
  parties, rave parties. It's not like that anymore here
• 8:54
  in New York. And I think it has a lot to do
• 8:56
  with the way of living and, and the way people want to live
• 8:59
  their lives now. And, and these kids, they don't
• 9:01
  know what it's like to party and go to the clubs.
• 9:05
  They think a lounge or a bar is a club and they, they have no
• 9:09
  idea when you go out to, I don't know, London, Germany, New
• 9:13
  Zealand, the club life there. They have these big, it used to
• 9:17
  be like here in New York, in the Hamptons, where they have these
• 9:20
  big huge warehouses and you'd party all night long.
• 9:23
  It's not like that anymore. So that's the only thing I hate
• 9:26
  about New York is the party life.
• 9:29
  If you're a young kid, you don't actually enjoy what New York has
• 9:34
  to give an offer anymore. People don't understand what New
• 9:38
  York was 20 years ago, 25 years ago.
• 9:42
  Even in the 70's, the disco life, you know, Studio 54, it's
• 9:46
  not like that. And if you go to Vegas, even
• 9:48
  Vegas, when you go to Vegas and you check out the club life,
• 9:51
  it's better than it is here, but it's not the same.
• 9:54
  And these? Young kids.
• 9:56
  That's because y'all a lot of natives done moved out, but
• 9:59
  we're we're seeing a high influx of New Yorkers down here in the
• 10:02
  South. What's really going on?
• 10:04
  I know the cost of living is up up there and all that, but you
• 10:08
  can't have an identity if nobody's you know, that's born
• 10:11
  there is around. So that's half of the reason
• 10:13
  Cost of living is another. You ain't got time to party no
• 10:16
  more trying to pay bills and keep the lights.
• 10:19
  On oh, stop, they, they try to pay bills and pop babies.
• 10:22
  That's what they want to do. Baby one, baby two, baby three,
• 10:25
  they pop out like hot cakes. You get triplets, twins.
• 10:29
  I mean, now you have all these different things that you can do
• 10:32
  where you can get twins. It's crazy.
• 10:35
  It's crazy because I don't know if anybody knows the story about
• 10:38
  Carlos Boozer. Now Carlos Boozers first born
• 10:41
  had leukemia and they didn't have blood to save his life.
• 10:46
  So what they did, him and his wife did, it was pretty simple.
• 10:50
  They they had this procedure done where they were trying to
• 10:54
  have another baby. So they used, I forget what it
• 10:56
  was, but they transferred his semen into her and into an egg,
• 11:00
  which eventually gave them a son, which eventually gave them
• 11:03
  two sons, which was Kaden and Cam.
• 11:06
  And we all know what happened with them.
• 11:08
  And they had double of the blood that saved their older brother
• 11:12
  who's playing college baseball right now.
• 11:14
  So it's crazy the way you can do things now.
• 11:17
  If you have money, you have to have money to do something.
• 11:21
  Like that? You you can't go in and talk to
• 11:23
  a doctor and say, hey, I'm broke.
• 11:26
  I I want to, I want to get twins.
• 11:28
  I want to get. Trips you need to tell me
• 11:29
  insurance want to take care of No basic Medicaid won't take
• 11:32
  care. Of no, not here, not here,
• 11:34
  Definitely not. I mean, you want Sir, I I need
• 11:38
  triplets. I need you can't afford your own
• 11:41
  self. How the hell are you going to
• 11:42
  afford twins are a triplet, you know, so it it's pretty crazy.
• 11:47
  Carlos Boozer, on the other hand, he's made millions and
• 11:49
  millions of dollars, so he's not going to complain.
• 11:51
  But it's a crazy story. If you check 30 for 30 or E60, I
• 11:56
  think it was E 60. They did a 60 minute story about
• 12:00
  the the brothers and, and what they grew up to and, and their
• 12:04
  younger, their older brother who's now living and he's
• 12:07
  leukemia free and he's doing very, very well for himself.
• 12:10
  And that stands for what Carlos Boozer and his beautiful ex-wife
• 12:15
  was doing to try to save their son.
• 12:17
  At 8:20 we will be talking to 2026 NFL draft prospect, Navy
• 12:22
  safety and outside linebacker Jackson Campbell will be joining
• 12:25
  us. This is the first time that he's
• 12:27
  probably done an interview like this.
• 12:29
  So we're very excited to have him on.
• 12:31
  Shout out to the old myth for getting us another guest.
• 12:35
  New and improved talent that could be going to the NFL and
• 12:39
  could be a big part of a franchise.
• 12:41
  So we're very excited to have Jackson on the show, not Jackson
• 12:45
  Dart, Jackson camp. That's a shot out Coach Fish
• 12:51
  over there because he'd probably, you know, do something
• 12:54
  in his pants if Jackson Dart was coming in.
• 12:56
  So anyways, we all know about him and his giant steaks.
• 13:00
  He loves his giant. So Jackson Dart ever comes on
• 13:03
  this show. I think this man will have a
• 13:05
  heart attack or camp scataboo as the scataboo hip hop songs are
• 13:10
  all over social media as we speak today.
• 13:14
  The first game of the Final Four will feature UConn facing off
• 13:18
  facing off with Illinois in a rematch of the Elite 8 in 2024.
• 13:24
  The rebounding battle will key in this game with UConn center
• 13:29
  Terrace Reed Junior averaging 13.7 rebounds per game in the
• 13:33
  tournament against an Illinois team that was 10th in rebounds
• 13:37
  per game and 7th in rebounds margin during the season.
• 13:41
  These two teams both have cards projected to be top 15 NBA Draft
• 13:47
  picks, with Keaton Waggler for Illinois's and Braylon Mullins
• 13:53
  for U Conn. The second matchup will feature
• 13:57
  a battle of #1 seeds with Arizona taking on Michigan.
• 14:02
  Arizona has made 55.2% of their two point baskets this
• 14:08
  tournament, while Michigan has only allowed their opponents to
• 14:12
  shoot 44.2% on 2 pointers. Both of these teams dominated in
• 14:19
  their regions, with Arizona winning by an average of 20.5
• 14:25
  points per game and Michigan winning by an average of 22.7
• 14:30
  points per game. Well ladies and gentlemen,
• 14:34
  there's there's a lot of big pictures in this Final four.
• 14:38
  It includes 4 major programs with deep tournament histories
• 14:44
  and the Cinderella team. Only two number one seeds in
• 14:49
  Arizona and Michigan made it, breaking last year's trend when
• 14:53
  all of them were number ones. The match up Illinois versus
• 15:00
  UConn was a surprise. Illinois first Final Four in 21
• 15:09
  years, 21 years. Illinois is making their first
• 15:14
  Final Four since 2005. The program has only one
• 15:20
  national title appearance ever. They were the 2005 runner up.
• 15:26
  This is just the sixth Final Four in school history.
• 15:30
  Illinois is one in four all time in the nationals in in the
• 15:34
  national semi finals. They have 50 NCAA tournament
• 15:39
  wins, lowest of the four teams. They have never won a national
• 15:45
  championship. They're chasing their first
• 15:50
  national championship. And who are they facing?
• 15:54
  A-Team that's dominated the last five years with a coach that is
• 15:59
  very outspoken, a coach that doesn't hide behind the mic.
• 16:04
  He doesn't hide behind the camera.
• 16:06
  He smiles at the camera and he attacks.
• 16:09
  He might even eat the mic if you give him a chance to.
• 16:12
  And Danny Hurley, this is a modern dynasty right now.
• 16:17
  And if they win their third title in five years, this is one
• 16:21
  of the greatest runs any coach, any team, any program has ever
• 16:25
  had. UConn is making their third
• 16:29
  Final Four in four years. They have already owned multiple
• 16:35
  national champions in the modern era.
• 16:40
  They have knocked out top seed Duke with a second a couple of
• 16:45
  seconds left. Not even .4 seconds left of the
• 16:50
  game by Braille and Mullins. They're a dynasty.
• 16:57
  They got a chance. Now if they knock off Illinois,
• 17:03
  which is predicted they will, they have a chance to do
• 17:07
  something. Not many teams can say they have
• 17:10
  done. Not many coaches can say that
• 17:13
  they have done when you talk about the Lakers trying to pitch
• 17:18
  Danny Hurley an opportunity to come to Lakertown and build a
• 17:24
  dynasty with the Lakers. Something that the Lakers
• 17:26
  haven't done since Phil Jackson, a guy that's been successful in
• 17:30
  the NCAA. Izzo was the guy that held and
• 17:36
  told Danny Hurley to stay here. You have a better chance now to
• 17:39
  become the face of the NCAA. College basketball U Conn has
• 17:47
  had many greats that have come through this program might never
• 17:54
  be anywhere close to a guy like Danny Hurley.
• 17:58
  He comes from a family of a brother that's won two national
• 18:02
  championships with Duke. A father that has won 2728 state
• 18:07
  championships in New Jersey, kept the school open for so many
• 18:11
  years when they were going broke.
• 18:14
  A family of success. And Yukon is a program in the
• 18:20
  Big East that's always flourished.
• 18:24
  Always when you look at organizations, not just when it
• 18:31
  comes to college and programs, organizations like the Yankees,
• 18:36
  organizations like the Patriots, teams that have found a way to
• 18:43
  transition decade after decade, coach after coach into winning.
• 18:49
  UConn is one of those organizations, one of those
• 18:52
  programs that you can compare to those teams that have been
• 18:55
  successful. And when you look at success,
• 18:59
  you always need a top end coach. Look at the Yankees of the 90s,
• 19:04
  Joe Torry. Look at the teams that have
• 19:08
  succeeded over the years, wherever they have been.
• 19:12
  Look at the Green Bay Packers, Lombardi, Bill Belichick.
• 19:15
  With the Patriots. You have to have a Ying to your
• 19:19
  Yang. And as good as Yukon has been
• 19:23
  decade after decade, coach after coach, player after player, you
• 19:27
  need a face, you need a spark. And Danny Hurley is that guy.
• 19:32
  And I look at all the coaches that are still in this
• 19:34
  tournament. The biggest name is Danny
• 19:37
  Hurley. You can't argue that when you
• 19:39
  look at Arizona, Michigan and even Illinois success stories,
• 19:43
  there are two number ones. UConn was not a number one this
• 19:47
  year. They were a number 2.
• 19:49
  And if there was any team as a #2 coming out of that East
• 19:53
  region, it was UConn. That's why I had them going to
• 19:57
  the national championship because of the fact that I
• 20:00
  didn't trust John Shire. As we saw last Sunday, we
• 20:05
  understand what it takes to win close games.
• 20:10
  Be a championship competitive team and that's UConn.
• 20:14
  And then you look at the other teams.
• 20:16
  There's a lot of history with these teams.
• 20:18
  Arizona reached their first Final Four in 2001.
• 20:22
  Freshman star. LED team by best start in school
• 20:27
  history. Won big.
• 20:29
  Won the Big 12 in the regular season plus the tournament
• 20:33
  titles. Broke program, win streak
• 20:36
  record. Arizona is chasing their first
• 20:40
  title since 1997, which by the way, I remember in 1997 I had
• 20:46
  Arizona winning the whole thing, which nobody did.
• 20:50
  I think they beat Kentucky, if I'm not mistaken.
• 20:52
  They beat somebody. It was somebody.
• 20:54
  A very big program. I can't remember.
• 20:56
  It was a long time ago. And then there's Michigan.
• 21:01
  Always a good basketball program.
• 21:04
  Always, they've always been in the big stage.
• 21:09
  Michigan is back to the Final Four for the first time since
• 21:13
  2018, one of the most historical programs in NCAA history.
• 21:19
  Everybody remembers the Fab 5, the legacy over there.
• 21:23
  Jalen, we all know that team. We we understand what these
• 21:28
  guys, you know, after they they retired from NCAA, some of them
• 21:33
  went to the NBA and became very successful.
• 21:38
  One guy doesn't know or thought that he had a time out left and
• 21:41
  that cost, I believe Michigan a national championship.
• 21:45
  You know what I'm talking about Mr. Chris Webber.
• 21:50
  But you look at this team and you look at the the success from
• 21:57
  program to program, year from year, and you look at national
• 22:00
  championships. I don't know if you can quote
• 22:02
  A-Team by a national championship, but you can quote
• 22:05
  A-Team by what this team can do against elite teams.
• 22:10
  And what Michigan did this year was successfully one of the most
• 22:14
  elite runs we have seen a team have in NCAA history.
• 22:19
  Think about this. The average win total for this
• 22:25
  team was 20 or more points. Think about that.
• 22:28
  This team dominated offensively all season long.
• 22:31
  Everybody keeps talking about Arizona and what Arizona did.
• 22:35
  Michigan was doing so many things at a high clip, so many
• 22:38
  games at a high clip. We haven't seen a team do this
• 22:41
  as as far as a Michigan team in a significant amount of time.
• 22:45
  Even the 2018 Michigan Wolverines didn't do this,
• 22:49
  didn't have this kind of run. Offensively, it's been an
• 22:54
  impressive, impressive year for the Michigan Wolverines.
• 22:58
  With all the backlash from the football program.
• 23:01
  We all know what happened with the coach.
• 23:04
  We all know what happened with a coach that decided to walk away
• 23:09
  from a program to go to the NFL two years ago after winning a
• 23:13
  national championship, after the whole backlash of stealing
• 23:17
  signs. This is a program.
• 23:20
  This is the school that never says die.
• 23:23
  Think about that. It's not just a football
• 23:26
  program. This is a good basketball
• 23:29
  program, a great hockey program, a successful program, right
• 23:36
  straight through the board. And when you think of about
• 23:40
  national championships and winning national championships
• 23:43
  and you think about think about success stories like Duke and
• 23:47
  Kansas and Kentucky, Saint John's, who's never won a
• 23:52
  national championship, I just had to add them.
• 23:55
  UConn, Michigan's right there with some of the elite, elite
• 24:01
  college programs in NCAA basketball history.
• 24:07
  And again, I this is not what you call a pretty Final Four.
• 24:13
  It really isn't. I mean, Arizona and Michigan
• 24:15
  should be there. They've had successful seasons.
• 24:18
  UConn, they were up and down all season long.
• 24:20
  They had problems winning and knocking off St.
• 24:23
  John's in the Big East. They had problems in the Big
• 24:25
  East. But against teams outside of
• 24:28
  their region, they were good. But again, when games are close,
• 24:38
  who are you going to trust? Are you going to trust any one
• 24:42
  of these teams when they're calling a time out and a coach
• 24:45
  is going to sit down with them and call a play, draw up a play
• 24:49
  and make sure that they put their players in the right
• 24:52
  position to hit a shot to win a game?
• 24:56
  And that's why I go back to U Conn, I go back to Danny Hurley.
• 25:02
  Not only does his team believe in him and his personality here,
• 25:08
  he's not afraid to shy away from it.
• 25:11
  He will go out there to the media and say I'm the best.
• 25:15
  Do we remember what happened last year during the the what is
• 25:19
  it round of 32 when they got knocked out?
• 25:22
  What did he say to the referee, Speedy?
• 25:24
  What did he say when he was running to the referee?
• 25:26
  A lot of F bombs. But what did he say about
• 25:28
  himself? That he's the best coach in the
• 25:31
  effing world. He pretty much told him I'm the
• 25:34
  best coach in the world, I'm the best in the NCAA.
• 25:39
  He was not afraid to shy away from that.
• 25:41
  And you look at that, everybody says that's conceitedness and
• 25:44
  that's ego. Yeah, you have to have an ego
• 25:47
  when you're an elite head coach. You're going to tell me right
• 25:50
  now, Lombardi didn't believe that.
• 25:52
  Bill Belichick didn't believe that any of these guys that have
• 25:55
  been successful everywhere they've gone or not even
• 25:58
  everywhere they've gone when they became an elite coach,
• 26:01
  winning the first national championship or championship.
• 26:05
  Jenny Hurley is not afraid or shy away from saying that
• 26:08
  because he comes from a family of winning.
• 26:12
  Winning is everything in professional sports.
• 26:16
  Nobody wants to come in 2nd. And that goes to how many times
• 26:19
  I've taken shots saying our man Mr. Coach Fish, he loves Kyle
• 26:26
  Shanahan, loves him. Success, the best offensive mind
• 26:30
  in the NFL La La La La la blah blah blah blah blah.
• 26:34
  What does he want as a head coach?
• 26:37
  What does he want? He's choked back-to-back times
• 26:41
  against Kansas City in the second-half, having a lead
• 26:46
  because he stopped doing things that has given him success.
• 26:51
  Danny Hurley is not one of those coaches.
• 26:53
  When he finds a way to attack somebody and he knows that
• 26:58
  they're bleeding, he is going to make sure that he's going to
• 27:01
  keep cutting them until they bleed to death.
• 27:04
  He is not going to patch them up or give them an opportunity to
• 27:07
  find a way to put band aids on it so they can crawl all the way
• 27:11
  through the end of the game. He's not going to do that.
• 27:14
  When he smells blood, he's going to attack it.
• 27:16
  Those are the guys that you want to be your leader, the
• 27:22
  foundation of your program. Bill Belichick found ways.
• 27:26
  Everybody said he was a cheater. Oh, he cheated.
• 27:29
  He cheated, He cheated. How did he cheat?
• 27:32
  He found ways in the rule book that were ways to win.
• 27:37
  And even though they weren't illegal in the rule book, a lot
• 27:41
  of coaches said that most coaches wouldn't do that because
• 27:46
  in their eyes that is a form of cheating.
• 27:49
  But it never says it's cheating in the rule book.
• 27:51
  And how about this? I remember when Purdue was in a
• 27:54
  national championship against UConn.
• 27:56
  What did Danny Hurley do throughout the game?
• 27:59
  He got it to Zach Edie's ears. He got into his head and that
• 28:04
  bothered Zach Edie throughout that game.
• 28:06
  Zach Edie did not play at a top level in that national
• 28:10
  championship. Maybe it was Danny Hurley or
• 28:12
  maybe it was just his defense pushing them into positions.
• 28:16
  And Danny Hurley is one of the best and going into a
• 28:20
  second-half of a game and finding ways to beat their best
• 28:25
  options. What did Bill?
• 28:27
  Belichick do as a champion, he find a way to knock off your
• 28:31
  best talent, your best offensive option, and those second or
• 28:34
  third tier guys have to beat you.
• 28:36
  That's the only way you're going to beat them.
• 28:39
  That's the same thing Danny Hurley does.
• 28:41
  And you notice, and I'll say this, championship coaches find
• 28:46
  a way to beat good teams. It doesn't matter how elite you
• 28:49
  are. Peyton Manning was an elite
• 28:51
  quarterback. He was elite.
• 28:54
  Who had his number, Bill Belichick, not in the playoffs,
• 28:58
  but throughout their careers. Bill Belichick had a winning
• 29:01
  record against Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning was three and two
• 29:05
  against Tom Brady in his career in the playoffs, but in the
• 29:09
  regular season, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick absolutely
• 29:12
  dominated Peyton Manning. And that's because when you play
• 29:17
  somebody enough or you know how to read strengths to weaknesses
• 29:22
  on teams and honestly attacking teams the way these great
• 29:28
  coaches do, there is no rhyme or reason on how these guys are so
• 29:33
  great, but the fact that they understand the game better than
• 29:36
  everybody else does. Yeah, it's one of those Dan
• 29:39
  Hurley collaborations that you're seeing with this Yukon
• 29:43
  team has not played the whole complete game yet, but they Dan
• 29:45
  Hurley has gotten his team's always going in the second-half.
• 29:48
  And that's where you see the UCLA game, they were not
• 29:51
  shooting very well from the free throw line.
• 29:53
  The Duke game we talked about, they shot horribly from three.
• 29:55
  And it just shows that Dan Hurley will not be able to
• 29:58
  adjust to any team imaginable. There's enough balance on this
• 30:00
  Yukon team to beat any of these teams left for sure, because
• 30:04
  because the depth that they have.
• 30:06
  You mentioned the bench depth wasn't as good against Duke, but
• 30:08
  they have enough of it overall, enough rotation to make it work.
• 30:11
  And Harley has enough bold, bold ways to make that kind of
• 30:15
  adjustment to any scheme, any possibility that he comes out
• 30:20
  with, even against a team as loaded as Duke.
• 30:23
  Arizona and Michigan are the best teams left and talent wise,
• 30:26
  they're right there with a team like Duke.
• 30:28
  But Yukon already did it to Duke.
• 30:29
  Like what? Couldn't they do it to anyone
• 30:31
  else at this point? Now again, they have to play a
• 30:32
  full complete game. Mention the Martins of victory
• 30:34
  at Michigan 22, Arizona 20 and Illinois is in the double digits
• 30:37
  as well. They've dominated every game so
• 30:39
  far this tournament as well. But the quality of the teams
• 30:42
  that UConn has also played has also still been very strong,
• 30:45
  too. Michigan State, though, you were
• 30:47
  saying when we were out how bad they played in the second-half
• 30:50
  of that game. Like they do have to avoid bad
• 30:52
  stretches like that. But if there's any team that has
• 30:54
  the adversity to do it, it would be them.
• 30:56
  I'm curious to see if a younger team like Arizona would be able
• 30:58
  to handle. That Are you going to trust
• 30:59
  Tommy Lloyd? Are you going to trust Dusty May
• 31:03
  or even Brad Underwood over a Danny Hurley now?
• 31:06
  Danny Early is not going to play all these guys.
• 31:08
  Danny Early has to go 1st through Brad Underwood.
• 31:10
  Are you going to trust Brad Underwood if the game is close,
• 31:13
  when there's two minutes left of the game against a guy that has
• 31:16
  found a way to win 32 national championships and has a chance
• 31:21
  to go to his third championship in five years?
• 31:24
  I'm betting on Danny Hurley against any one of these guys.
• 31:27
  Tommy Lloyd's never been here. Dusty Mays never been here.
• 31:31
  That's the difference. Yeah, Brad Underwood with going
• 31:35
  to Illinois now, I want to reference that their defense has
• 31:38
  been very impressive and they've been doing well without having
• 31:41
  to shoot the three as much as they usually did in the regular
• 31:44
  season. Now, they did well shooting the
• 31:45
  three when they played Houston when they needed to, but that
• 31:47
  was still a more inside game. They made a lot of free throws.
• 31:50
  And I think they have to make sure that they just don't play
• 31:53
  into that same comfortable identity because, you know,
• 31:55
  UConn is going to try to take away somebody when it came to
• 31:58
  shooting the threes, one of the biggest keys to them.
• 32:00
  But coming back against Duke the way they did was taking out the
• 32:02
  guards that did very well for Duke and other games in that
• 32:05
  tournament, guys like Evans, guys like Caleb Foster.
• 32:08
  Now Froster was playing hurt, obviously.
• 32:09
  Duke choked. No, I know, I'm just saying.
• 32:11
  Choke. I'm just.
• 32:12
  Saying game plan. You keep saying that they did.
• 32:14
  They choked. They.
• 32:16
  Made Absolutely. They made a terrible mistake,
• 32:18
  but they were. 15 they were all. 15.
• 32:21
  Going into the half. How do you make necessary
• 32:24
  adjustments though? Yeah, you true.
• 32:25
  Yeah, I mean, you're up 15 again.
• 32:27
  And yes, UCONN's a national champion, champion team.
• 32:30
  This is a national champion coach Danny Hurley.
• 32:34
  You're not going to attack something when when you see a
• 32:37
  team and and see a coach come back from a lead like that.
• 32:41
  But Danny Hurley is a guy that when he finds a way to get back
• 32:45
  and he squeezed. And if you know the whole story
• 32:47
  of that game, in the second-half, especially the
• 32:49
  second-half, Duke slowly but surely lost the lead.
• 32:53
  And then they were putting the points.
• 32:54
  It wasn't because of their can't.
• 32:55
  It wasn't because of Cam Boozer, wasn't because of their their
• 32:58
  star player on the reason why he couldn't hit an open shot.
• 33:01
  He couldn't hit a shot. It was the secondary players
• 33:04
  that weren't doing enough in the game, the guys that were hurt.
• 33:07
  They brought these guys back in and they expected them to at
• 33:10
  least give them something off the bench and in in an Elite 8
• 33:14
  where you expect to win that game.
• 33:16
  You're the number one seed. You're expected to maybe make
• 33:19
  that run to the final more like you did last year after you
• 33:21
  choked against Houston and and and and Shire you you understand
• 33:26
  why I don't like Shire. Shire doesn't win big games.
• 33:30
  He falls in this hole, a deep, deep hole.
• 33:34
  He doesn't know how to make the right call, the right play at
• 33:37
  the tail end of the game. You could be up 8, you could be
• 33:40
  up 10, you could be up 12. It doesn't matter how much
• 33:43
  you're up when it comes to Coach Shire, because Shire to me was
• 33:46
  candid handed a team, really much breastfed this team.
• 33:52
  And the reason why? Because Coach Gay thought that
• 33:56
  this guy was going to be the answer of Duke basketball.
• 33:59
  Coach Gay hasn't won a national championship since when Speedy.
• 34:02
  2015. 2015 How long is that speedy?
• 34:06
  That's. 11 years, that's eleven years.
• 34:08
  That's a long time for a program that's been successful.
• 34:11
  Coach K, you can argue one of the top three programs, one of
• 34:15
  the top three coaches in NCAA history, one of the best coaches
• 34:19
  in history in sports, and he hands his reins to Shire, a guy
• 34:25
  that has won. Yeah, he won a national
• 34:26
  championship out as a player. Did he play well in the national
• 34:29
  championship? He was.
• 34:30
  Throughout that tournament, he was up and down.
• 34:33
  No, I'm not taking shots at Shire.
• 34:34
  I don't know who he is as, as a person.
• 34:37
  I I don't know him personally. I know he's a loser.
• 34:41
  He's a loser. He's.
• 34:43
  Just an elite 8. He's a loser, dude.
• 34:46
  You could be an Elite 8. You could be in the Sweet 16
• 34:49
  every single year because you have a great recruiting class.
• 34:51
  You got to win the big game. Quite look at look at his track
• 34:54
  record in the Elite 8 though, if you're.
• 34:56
  Judging no, they lost to an 11 seats state yeah, yeah, I'm with
• 35:00
  you, but I'm saying to make it deep into the conference that's
• 35:03
  you got to be able to coach a little bit like I'm not saying
• 35:05
  so I think his biggest issue is he just get complacent with
• 35:08
  whatever style that he has created a must to do Blue Devils
• 35:11
  and what they run like they he'd never make an adjustment.
• 35:14
  It's like the triangle offense. It's like running the triangle
• 35:16
  offense. You're either going to win by 30
• 35:18
  or get blown out by 30 because if if the shot ain't going and I
• 35:21
  think that's what he did. He fell asleep fell asleep at
• 35:23
  the wheel. He was up.
• 35:25
  He had a lead Campusa, the Boozer kid was having his way in
• 35:28
  the paint. But I do think that that there
• 35:30
  was a couple, two, there was a 2 offensive file charge, charge
• 35:33
  calls that I think changed the trajectory of the game.
• 35:37
  That's what gave you kind of hope that they can actually come
• 35:41
  back. And I think Hurley capitalized
• 35:44
  off that that and then press it. Once he did that, there was 2
• 35:48
  adjustments and great coaches make adjustment.
• 35:50
  That's the difference. That's a lost talent in in in
• 35:52
  the leagues right now. Houston did the same thing.
• 35:55
  Houston did the same thing to Duke last year.
• 35:57
  They pressed at the tail end of the game.
• 35:59
  They forced Duke to to not be able to inbound the ball.
• 36:02
  That was the big problem. Everybody was making jokes.
• 36:04
  There were memes all over the Internet after Duke lost in the
• 36:08
  Final Four. It was a joke.
• 36:10
  And do you think that Shia would have figured it out, would have
• 36:13
  understood what he needed to do going into this game, you were
• 36:17
  kicking the crap out of UConn in the first half.
• 36:19
  All you had to do was somewhat be competent offensively and you
• 36:23
  knock off UConn. UConn wasn't the same team they
• 36:26
  have been when they've won national championships,
• 36:29
  back-to-back national championships.
• 36:30
  They're they have a lot, a lot of young players and and players
• 36:33
  like Braille and Mullins, who was not playing well in that
• 36:36
  game, not playing well and shooting the ball very well.
• 36:39
  Now, I don't know what Mullins is going to do at the at the end
• 36:42
  of this season. If they get knocked out in the
• 36:44
  Final Four, they win a national championship.
• 36:46
  Does he come back? Who knows?
• 36:47
  Is he is he thought about being a first round talent.
• 36:51
  Yeah. But I, if I was Mullins, I'd
• 36:53
  play another year in college basketball, make some NIL money.
• 36:56
  There's no rush to go into the NBA right now.
• 36:58
  You're going to get many. You're going to get another
• 37:00
  opportunity next year, maybe being a higher seed, higher
• 37:03
  player in the draft and getting more money that.
• 37:05
  Where is he projected? I don't know he's.
• 37:07
  He's 16 to 20 I've. Seen he's a first round talent
• 37:10
  but. Oh, good.
• 37:11
  Go. No.
• 37:12
  What would you tell him to stay? Because he can.
• 37:15
  He could be a top ten pick and make more money.
• 37:17
  Not guaranteed. No, it's not guaranteed, but
• 37:20
  this is a harder draft. This is one of the great drafts
• 37:22
  we've seen since 2003, 2004, as you heard, Dan Purcell said.
• 37:27
  Next year you think he got more moment you you think he'll have
• 37:29
  more momentum next year than he do now. 100% think about this,
• 37:33
  if they win a national championship this year and he
• 37:35
  comes back and wins another one next year and takes his.
• 37:37
  Team to fight? Yeah, that ain't happening.
• 37:40
  They have a better recruiting class next year.
• 37:42
  Danny Early has a better recruiting class coming in next
• 37:45
  year. So yeah, it could happen.
• 37:48
  To that, UConn is the one team where you have to like throw all
• 37:51
  the patterns out the window. So I have Michigan winning it
• 37:54
  all, but UConn is not one of those teams just because they
• 37:55
  haven't played a complete game yet.
• 37:57
  You could still doubt just based on their track record you.
• 37:59
  Cannot. You know, you can't doubt Danny.
• 38:01
  They don't think that. So if they win this year, it
• 38:04
  would be like out of this world, yes.
• 38:07
  Yeah, it would be the hardest. Path they've had yeah, a hard
• 38:11
  task really. I think they yeah, I feel like
• 38:13
  they got they had a little, there was a little sluggish last
• 38:16
  game versus Duke as. Well, I'm not going to.
• 38:17
  Count impacted their shooting and whatever, I'm not going to
• 38:20
  count the real thing. I'm not counting Danny Hurley.
• 38:25
  No, he's a great coach. Danny Hurley has found a way to
• 38:29
  get back to the Final Four. He's done it three times in five
• 38:32
  years. How many coaches could say that
• 38:34
  they've done that before? I think it's pretty incredible
• 38:36
  just the fact that he's here. So do I think that Danny Hurley
• 38:40
  can't get back here next year with a better recruiting class
• 38:42
  and a better team? 100% because he coaches the
• 38:46
  right way. He finds, he knows that these
• 38:48
  games are going to come to one shot or the last shot of the
• 38:52
  game and he's done it time in and time again that he's found
• 38:55
  ways to win these close games. So am I going to argue that
• 38:59
  Danny Hurley next year it with a Braylon Mullins and whoever he
• 39:03
  brings in in his recruiting classroom, how many Portal guys
• 39:07
  is he going to bring in because he brought a couple of them this
• 39:09
  year? How many, how many guys are
• 39:10
  going to want to come and play for Danny Hurley knowing that
• 39:13
  he's won, I don't know, three national championships in five
• 39:17
  years? He's got to have his pick.
• 39:19
  That's what happens when you're a good coach.
• 39:22
  They want to go to the guy that's going to give him a best
• 39:24
  chance to win, give him the best, you know, best eyes to be
• 39:27
  seen to by an NBA team. So I think Danny Hurley and and
• 39:31
  again, out of all these coaches, all four of these coaches that
• 39:35
  I've mentioned, and like I said, Underwood, May and Lloyd, Danny
• 39:40
  Hurley probably plays the most NBA style type of game.
• 39:45
  He plays defense to offense, he plays pressure defense and he
• 39:49
  wants his guys to move the ball around the perimeter.
• 39:52
  They win. UConn wins because they share
• 39:54
  the ball. It's not it's not isolation,
• 39:57
  it's not one-dimensional basketball like you played with
• 39:59
  Cam Boozer. Arizona plays that game too.
• 40:02
  But I worry about Arizona and their defense.
• 40:05
  Is Arizona going to play at a high, high level against a
• 40:07
  Michigan team that likes to score by a clip?
• 40:10
  Michigan's dangerous. Michigan's dangerous because if
• 40:14
  you were to ask me right now, out of all four teams, they are
• 40:17
  the best overall team out of all four teams because they play
• 40:21
  both defense and offense at a very high level and they can
• 40:24
  score with threes. They can go inside dominating
• 40:27
  the pain. They're good rebounding team.
• 40:29
  I don't think there's any argument out of all four of
• 40:31
  these teams, they have the most talent.
• 40:34
  But when it comes to. Close games and most of these.
• 40:38
  Games are going to be close. You're going to bet on the
• 40:40
  coach. I'm going to bet the advantage
• 40:43
  goes to U Conn throughout this rest of this tournament in the
• 40:47
  Final Four because I believe that Danny Hurley, if the game
• 40:50
  is close, five points, 4 points, 3 points, he's going to find a
• 40:53
  way to get this game close. close enough that if you need to
• 40:58
  hit a game-winning shot or shot, they can send him into overtime
• 41:01
  and give them the momentum. He's the guy I'm going to bet
• 41:03
  on. Kyu, you mentioned coaches
• 41:04
  getting complacent. Too.
• 41:05
  And that's why I think Michigan compared to Arizona and Illinois
• 41:09
  have a better chance where they they can win in so many
• 41:11
  different ways. Like they didn't have an obvious
• 41:12
  weakness. The way they play like Arizona
• 41:14
  we know does not shoot a lot of threes.
• 41:16
  They don't want to have to play a transition game if they don't
• 41:18
  have to. Michigan, you saw play a really
• 41:20
  good transition game when they destroyed Tennessee and even in
• 41:22
  the second-half the previous round too against Alabama, they
• 41:25
  once they got it going on the transition game, it was very
• 41:28
  strong. And Illinois, we'll see if they
• 41:30
  get tested it with something with their defense, with a team
• 41:33
  like UConn that could shoot some threes but could also to play
• 41:36
  inside with, like you said, Terrace Reed playing as well as
• 41:38
  he did. They all could shoot the three.
• 41:40
  Yeah, every. One of these teams can shoot the
• 41:42
  three at a high clip. We see what Michigan could do.
• 41:45
  Michigan is is by far the best shooting team out of all these
• 41:49
  teams and they have big guys that could shoot threes as well.
• 41:51
  Which I think that's the advantage that I wonder match up
• 41:53
  with Arizona that have the a lot of these quicker guards, if
• 41:56
  they're going to be able to take advantage of.
• 41:57
  And you saw Purdue even in the first half when they played
• 42:00
  Arizona, try to dupe them into shooting threes, which they
• 42:02
  weren't as comfortable with. And I think you're going to see
• 42:04
  Michigan a lot of those same kind of things with defensive
• 42:06
  players like lengthwise that are a little bit better than
• 42:09
  Purdue's overall, because Purdue did have trouble with jump
• 42:12
  shooting teams throughout the regular season.
• 42:14
  Michigan did not. And that's why I think that
• 42:16
  that's that you brought up with 44% shooting inside is going to
• 42:19
  be a big key. Arizona don't like shooting the
• 42:21
  three right? And I think you're going to see
• 42:22
  Michigan Force. Their hands with that kind of
• 42:24
  thing and that's why I'm saying Tommy Lloyd is a coaching QA.
• 42:29
  You mentioned you're getting complacent.
• 42:31
  I don't think he's really been testing at having to change his
• 42:33
  style of game yet outside of that 1/2 time adjustment with
• 42:36
  Purdue, where I think Michigan and Dusty May who did it in the
• 42:39
  Final Four with FAU, maybe it has a nine seed with a very
• 42:42
  different team and now you get a more talented team with all
• 42:44
  those NIL money with Michigan can definitely make a difference
• 42:47
  in that tournament. I think there's a lot of
• 42:48
  pressure. On Michigan, because Michigan
• 42:52
  has a chance to do something they haven't done since 2018
• 42:55
  And, and honestly they have been the best overall team all season
• 42:59
  long. And, and to see two number ones
• 43:01
  get into the final four, it's, it's not something that we
• 43:04
  haven't seen before. Cause four number one teams went
• 43:07
  to the went to the final four and two went to the national
• 43:10
  championship last year. So it's not crazy to think, but
• 43:13
  a lot of people, including me didn't think that they were
• 43:16
  going to be more than one number one seed to get into the final
• 43:20
  four. I was wrong about that.
• 43:21
  But what's incredible about these two teams is they might be
• 43:26
  the two best offensive teams going into this tournament.
• 43:29
  One has more of a strength getting inside the paint and
• 43:32
  dominating in the paint because they got speed guys and a great
• 43:35
  guard and and Michigan, who's a great overall shooting team that
• 43:39
  can use so many strengths and beat teams by so many
• 43:43
  weaknesses. That's the difference between
• 43:45
  both teams. And who do I think has the
• 43:47
  advantage in this game? Michigan.
• 43:49
  But Arizona has done a time and time again this year.
• 43:52
  They have found ways to win and and they also find ways.
• 43:56
  Even against Purdue, they were down by 6 or 7 points going into
• 43:59
  the second-half and what did they do?
• 44:00
  They made sure in the starting of the second-half they started
• 44:03
  to pick up the pace, play more dominant basketball, getting
• 44:07
  inside, making, making teams, making teams chase, Perdue
• 44:13
  chase. As soon as they took the lead in
• 44:15
  that game, Perdue couldn't get back into the game because
• 44:18
  Arizona is so much faster around the perimeter and they can get
• 44:22
  out of clip to the free throw line.
• 44:23
  And I'm and that's another thing that I've noticed in this
• 44:25
  tournament that I haven't seen that much in in years past.
• 44:29
  These teams throughout the tournament had problems shooting
• 44:32
  free throws. All of them.
• 44:34
  All of them have had problems shooting free throws.
• 44:37
  We saw it with Duke, we saw it with Saint John's.
• 44:39
  We've seen it with UConn. In some of the rounds, these
• 44:41
  teams have had problems shooting free throws.
• 44:43
  If this happens in the Final Four, those free throws can cost
• 44:47
  these teams a national championship because these games
• 44:49
  are going to be close. Both games are going to be
• 44:51
  close. Nobody's going to believe that
• 44:53
  UConn is just going to run all over Illinois, especially what
• 44:55
  they did to Iowa. So yeah, and Illinois gets a ton
• 44:59
  of offensive. Rebounds too, and they've made
• 45:01
  their free throws off of those offensive rebounds in a lot of
• 45:03
  the games that I thought they didn't have as much of A size
• 45:06
  advantage. They have that one.
• 45:07
  I believe he's a Spanish kid, center of the seven footer.
• 45:10
  But beyond that, they're no more for their guard play.
• 45:12
  Like you said with Waggler, that's going to be probably a
• 45:14
  top ten, top 12 NBA draft pick and a team that's very potent
• 45:18
  shooting threes. But you know U Conn's going to
• 45:20
  try to take that away and same kind of thing with Michigan.
• 45:22
  Michigan has two very big guys that rotate in, one of them in
• 45:26
  Mahara got in a foul trouble against 10 Tennessee and they
• 45:28
  still overcame it the way they did, which was very impressive.
• 45:30
  And Arizona's got 2 international guys that rotate
• 45:33
  in coming off the one start and one come off the bench and they
• 45:37
  can get the offensive rebounds. All those chances that you get,
• 45:39
  you might be able to get offensive rebounding
• 45:41
  opportunities for foul shots as well.
• 45:43
  So yeah, those those three teams making their free throws
• 45:45
  continuing and everybody keeps giving Mullins all the.
• 45:47
  Credit for the win. Reid was the only player on
• 45:50
  UConn that had a really good game again soon he was.
• 45:54
  The best player on the court for.
• 45:55
  Both teams even he was even better than Cam Booster, even
• 45:58
  though Cam Booster had four, I think four or three more points
• 46:01
  than him. I mean, what Reid did throughout
• 46:04
  the game defensively and offensively was great.
• 46:07
  And they he kept UConn by himself in the game because a
• 46:11
  lot of their secondary offensive players did not have very good
• 46:14
  games. And and that again, when you
• 46:16
  have a player that can play at a high level and just keep the
• 46:19
  game closed, all it takes is one shot or two shots to help you
• 46:22
  win that game. And that's the thing, I will bet
• 46:25
  that Danny Hurley has a game plan in the second-half if
• 46:29
  they're down by Illinois or Illinois shooting the ball very
• 46:32
  well that he's going to press around the perimeter.
• 46:34
  Illinois shot the ball very well throughout this tournament.
• 46:37
  They won by a game-winning shot. This is a team that can shoot
• 46:40
  around the perimeter. And everybody keeps talking
• 46:43
  about UConn. They they've shot the ball very
• 46:45
  well in this tournament too. But there are parts in these
• 46:48
  games in a 5 minute or 4 minutes then where you guys have
• 46:51
  problems putting the ball in the net and, and they can't do that
• 46:54
  in this tournament. They can't do that in the final
• 46:56
  four because these teams are going to, like I said, Danny
• 46:59
  Hurley, as good as he is and as much as he can smell blood when
• 47:03
  his team is starting to pulverize or beat up the team
• 47:07
  and scoring 5 or 6 shots by a clip.
• 47:10
  I do believe that teams like Illinois, they believe in
• 47:13
  themselves. Now they can find, they know
• 47:16
  that if they keep the game close, they can beat.
• 47:18
  They can beat UConn, a national championship team.
• 47:21
  They can beat anybody because these games always come down to
• 47:25
  a minute left, a minute and 30 seconds left.
• 47:27
  Who's going to hit the free throws?
• 47:29
  Who's going to make the right foul?
• 47:30
  Who's going to put the right guy on the line?
• 47:32
  That's where these championship teams are built and that's about
• 47:37
  it. On that I I mean my.
• 47:39
  Argument here is when you look at this tournament I I always
• 47:43
  believe that I'm going to bet on the coach that's been here
• 47:45
  before and it's done it every single time and that's why I
• 47:49
  think and most people if you're a betting man Vegas doesn't have
• 47:52
  you come winning the national champions.
• 47:54
  They don't. Yeah, I say Vegas got.
• 47:56
  Illinois winning, so everybody ain't on the same page.
• 47:58
  And, and I'm gonna tell you this right now.
• 48:00
  Don't bet against Danny Hurley. Do not bet against him because
• 48:05
  time and time again this man, he wasn't a great basketball
• 48:09
  player. He really wasn't.
• 48:11
  What he did for Providence, he was horrible.
• 48:13
  He was a laughing stock. I was very surprised that he
• 48:16
  moved up in the rankings at the head coach because he wasn't a
• 48:19
  great player. He wasn't Bobby and and a lot of
• 48:21
  questions to compare his skill or his call coaching to his
• 48:26
  father or did you really think that he was going to develop
• 48:29
  into a coach of this magnitude a success story?
• 48:32
  Both Hurleys 1 as a player, 12 national championships and now
• 48:37
  Danny is 1/2 as a coach. If he wins his third, he breaks
• 48:41
  Bobby Hurley. He he becomes maybe the more
• 48:45
  likely name in Hurley, in the Hurley family, when you talk,
• 48:50
  his father won 28 state championships.
• 48:52
  They're not national championships.
• 48:54
  That's different. So it's it's incredible.
• 48:58
  It's an incredible. Story The Hurley.
• 49:00
  Family and you when you talk about fathers and sons credited
• 49:04
  for guys that have been national championships or success stories
• 49:08
  in coaching or players, this might be a family of success
• 49:12
  that we might not be able to compare to in 10 years from now
• 49:16
  because Bobby still has a chance to be a coach and a successful
• 49:18
  coach if he wins the national championship as a head coach,
• 49:21
  that's three championships, 2 as a player and one as a coach.
• 49:24
  I mean this could be the greatest family of coaches and
• 49:29
  playoffs players that has ever been put together.
• 49:32
  So it's it's a great story and I'm rooting for Danny Hurley
• 49:35
  because they're Big East guys. It's right over here in the
• 49:37
  tri-state. I know there's not a lot of
• 49:39
  UConn fan fans over here in in Long Island, more Saint John
• 49:43
  fans or a Stony Brook fans or posture fans, but this is an
• 49:49
  incredible story. You only root for guys that are
• 49:51
  close to the tri-state and and hope for the best for those
• 49:54
  teams. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 49:56
  we call this a concrete jungle carousel.
• 50:00
  Welcome. To the.
• 50:02
  Jungle we got. Fun and games.
• 50:04
  You know where you are in the jungle, baby.
• 50:09
  I'm trying to put. Tiger bomb on this jungle's nuts
• 50:11
  to the concrete jungle. Carousel, you got to die.
• 50:21
  Welcome back everyone to the Concrete Jungle.
• 50:23
  Carousel Errol, let's just stay with the Big East boots that you
• 50:28
  were just talking about with UConn and go to Saint Joe St.
• 50:32
  John's. They haven't really done a
• 50:33
  postmortem on their season. They lost in the 15 to Duke.
• 50:39
  It was. A close game.
• 50:39
  They were up most. Of the game, lost in the
• 50:43
  second-half, really kind of an impressive run from Pitino.
• 50:48
  I thought they were going to win that game.
• 50:51
  Before the game started, they kind of blew it.
• 50:53
  They didn't have the same roster as Duke, obviously, but the
• 50:57
  coaching may have been better, first of all.
• 51:01
  Rick Pitino, after getting eliminated out of the
• 51:05
  tournament, just got an extension.
• 51:07
  So we understand what Rick Pitino stands for when it comes
• 51:10
  to Saint John's baseball, basketball.
• 51:11
  We haven't seen a Saint John's team go to Sweet 16 in a very,
• 51:15
  very long time. So we understand that.
• 51:18
  We understand that. But when you look at Pitino's
• 51:21
  credited and the way he built this team, he made some
• 51:24
  mistakes, especially in the second-half.
• 51:26
  I thought that Pitino should have with the success that they
• 51:30
  were having in the first half. They were up by Duke.
• 51:32
  They were beating Duke by 1. Going to the second-half, there
• 51:35
  were a lot of questions on how he was going to rotate his his
• 51:38
  players, his big man who was just shooting at will, hitting
• 51:42
  every shot, playing defense, rebounding, blocking shots.
• 51:46
  Why? Why did he only own play?
• 51:47
  I. Think he only played three.
• 51:48
  Minutes in the second-half of the game there was a lot of
• 51:51
  questions on why Pitino was doing that and Shia, I don't.
• 51:54
  I'll say the coach Shire didn't out coach Pitino.
• 51:59
  I think Pitino out coached himself in that game.
• 52:02
  So I, I mean, you can argue that Pitino was the reason why they
• 52:06
  lost that game against Duke, because I, I thought that they
• 52:10
  had the edge going into the second-half.
• 52:12
  I thought they were playing such good team defense and they were
• 52:15
  rebounding the ball so very well.
• 52:17
  And in the second-half, they gave Campoozer a little bit more
• 52:20
  chances at the free throw line. They just made so many mistakes
• 52:24
  at the tail end of the game and and and that's why Duke, by the
• 52:27
  skin of their teeth, beat Saint Johns.
• 52:30
  Yeah, they also got outmatched in the paint a lot.
• 52:32
  Which I which knew it was a match of advantage coming into
• 52:34
  the game for Duke, especially getting John Butt back.
• 52:36
  He was able to get a lot of those offensive rebounds.
• 52:38
  But yeah, you're right, taking Prey out of the game when he had
• 52:40
  that, That's what I was talking about when he had that hot 1st.
• 52:42
  Half at 12. Points 4 for four shooting,
• 52:44
  hitting three pointers yeah and then.
• 52:46
  You're right, he only played him 4.
• 52:47
  Minutes after that, it was definitely puzzling when you had
• 52:51
  a St. John's team that was shooting
• 52:52
  over 50% from three for most of the game.
• 52:54
  They finished at 40, but this was a team that is not known for
• 52:57
  that type of game and they were hitting in an end.
• 53:00
  Like why wouldn't you keep that player in the game more than 4
• 53:02
  minutes? I'm not saying don't ever like
• 53:03
  I'm not saying you'd like to leave him out if he goes cold,
• 53:05
  but still, he wasn't going cold at any point.
• 53:07
  He out coached himself. That's.
• 53:09
  Pretty much what happened in the game, yeah.
• 53:11
  He overthought himself, man, I thought.
• 53:13
  I. Think the guys was all over the
• 53:16
  place. It seems like they kind of once
• 53:18
  Duke went up, they kind of lost their head a little bit and they
• 53:20
  was just flying around, not necessarily making the right
• 53:23
  plays. And so I think it's it was they
• 53:25
  they all kind of fairly young, right?
• 53:27
  So I would say like, you know, he got a he got a good group and
• 53:30
  I think that they'll be back and make some noise next year.
• 53:33
  But yeah, I think it was just outmatched in regards to talent
• 53:37
  and Duke been there before. So it was a little easier for
• 53:39
  them to maintain and keep control throughout the
• 53:41
  throughout the game. They actually believe it because
• 53:43
  Pitino just. Got a nice big contract, he's
• 53:45
  one of the highest paid coaches in in the NCAA and he's going to
• 53:49
  have even more NIL money because he has a billionaire making sure
• 53:52
  that he has all the money in the to bring players from the
• 53:55
  portal. And you know what he likes to
• 53:56
  do? He likes to bring the older
• 53:58
  players to his team because they're easier to coach the
• 54:01
  younger players. He doesn't want those running 1
• 54:03
  and done guys like Calipari has done over the years and some of
• 54:07
  the other teams. So it's national championship
• 54:08
  teams. He'd rather keep these players
• 54:10
  for significant amount of time so they can grow with him.
• 54:14
  Yeah, he's going to do some care.
• 54:15
  For sure. Well, one guy he's going to lose
• 54:17
  is. Zubi AG offer he's a Geo for
• 54:21
  he's going to be a late first round to early second round
• 54:25
  pick. They're saying projected 21
• 54:27
  years old, 69 undersized for a center, but profiles he could
• 54:33
  play a little bit on the perimeter as we saw.
• 54:35
  He's going to be one of those tweeners heading into the draft.
• 54:40
  I think A-Team, like the Knicks, is the late first round pick.
• 54:44
  It makes a lot of sense to look at a guy like him for some
• 54:46
  depth. I stay away from and I'll say
• 54:48
  this. Again, I stay away from anybody
• 54:51
  from Saint John's because every time the New York Knicks drafted
• 54:54
  Saint John's guys, Wallace, John Wallace, remember him, they
• 54:58
  don't pan out. They don't pan out.
• 55:01
  I know Rick Pitino, Rick Pitino reached out to the Knicks when
• 55:04
  they he when he was coaching Louisville and he said draft the
• 55:07
  Spider, draft his kid. Donovan Mitchell's going to be a
• 55:09
  * he told Phil Jackson. He told the the organization was
• 55:13
  very close with James Dolan. Draft this guy, draft this guy.
• 55:15
  The Knicks decided to draft a kid from France.
• 55:18
  Okay, and how did that work out, Nil Akina.
• 55:21
  It didn't work out very well. Donovan Mitchell became a star
• 55:24
  in the NBA. He became A2 dimensional player,
• 55:27
  one of the better shooters in one of the better offensive
• 55:29
  options from Utah, and then eventually went to Cleveland and
• 55:34
  Nikhil Nila. Keen is not even in the NBA
• 55:36
  anymore. So we all know what happens
• 55:38
  then. Yankees.
• 55:39
  Yep. Oh my goodness.
• 55:41
  So they're off tonight, but the Yankees have been off to a
• 55:44
  historic start .53 ERA in their first six games, best in a six
• 55:51
  game span in baseball history. 6 total runs given up.
• 55:55
  Next best in baseball currently are the Dodgers and Brewers,
• 55:58
  tied with 17 going into today. So 6th is 1st. 6 total runs
• 56:04
  versus 17 in second place. Schlittler has a .26 walks and
• 56:09
  hits per earning pitch or WHIP and 15 strikeouts.
• 56:13
  Freed has a .53 and 10 strikeouts.
• 56:15
  Neither one is allowed to run this year.
• 56:19
  Pretty good. There's a lot.
• 56:21
  Of historic things that the Yankees are doing right now,
• 56:23
  think about this. The Yankees allowed only six
• 56:26
  runs in six games, third fewest in Major League Baseball
• 56:30
  history, and a start of a season.
• 56:32
  This is not even over. Starting pitching gave up only
• 56:36
  two runs in 33 1/2 innings, the fewest since 1900.
• 56:43
  The team The team has outscored opponents 24 to 6 during this
• 56:47
  stretch. They also opened the season with
• 56:50
  20 straight scoreless innings, a franchise record.
• 56:54
  Not over yet, guys late. There's so many numbers that you
• 56:57
  guys have to understand what the Yankees are doing right now is
• 57:00
  historic. Think about this.
• 57:02
  The Yankees not only are doing something unique, it hasn't been
• 57:06
  done since 1943. The Yankees allowed only three
• 57:10
  runs in their first five games, tying the 1943 Saint Louis
• 57:16
  Cardinals for the fewest in a span since 1900.
• 57:20
  Historically stingy pitching By allowing only six runs over I'm
• 57:27
  sorry over the first six games, the staff ranks behind only the
• 57:31
  2002 Giants and the 1915 Phillies for best pitching start
• 57:37
  in Major League Baseball history.
• 57:40
  Fastest Start The team has secured a serious sweep against
• 57:44
  the Giants in their first leading in in technology.
• 57:48
  I'm sorry, in technology. The team has all been aggressive
• 57:52
  with the automatic balls and strikes.
• 57:55
  ABS Challenge System leading the league in successful challenges
• 57:59
  early this season and, and and it goes on and on.
• 58:02
  What the Yankees are doing right now.
• 58:03
  Statistically, Max Freed has dominated. 13.1 score is
• 58:07
  scoreless innings across the first two starts.
• 58:10
  Schlittler is open with 11.2 scoreless innings. back-to-back
• 58:15
  starts at at the last at least 5 frames of and seven strikeouts.
• 58:20
  Here's another thing going into the season, baseball tonight
• 58:23
  took shots at the Yankees. Can this pitching staff last
• 58:26
  before Rodon comes back with his hamstring problem or Cole coming
• 58:30
  back sometimes time at the end of June or mid June, or Schmidt
• 58:35
  who can't stay healthy? Another guy that we don't know
• 58:37
  when he's going to come back. Heal was sent down and the
• 58:40
  Yankees were going to only have played four starters, 4 starters
• 58:44
  in this rotation early in the season.
• 58:47
  How many teams do that and what are the Yankees doing right now?
• 58:49
  They're breaking records. They're doing things that we
• 58:52
  haven't seen Yankee teams do and they're doing without two of
• 58:55
  their best pitchers. Schlidler is showing you that he
• 58:59
  could be a number one on a roster.
• 59:01
  The Yankees have Cole and Freed, and by the way, Max Freed has
• 59:04
  been one of the more dominant pitches the Yankees have brought
• 59:07
  in to this organization and free agency in history.
• 59:10
  Think about it, when you look at the past team, guys like Rodger,
• 59:13
  Clemens, David Wells, David Cone, all these guys that
• 59:18
  they've brought over the years, guys that help them win
• 59:21
  championships. Max Freed, even though he hasn't
• 59:24
  won a championship yet with the Yankees, what he's doing right
• 59:26
  now is incredible. He was up for a Cy Young last
• 59:29
  year. He had blitz.
• 59:30
  The problem, if Max Freed stays healthy this year with this
• 59:33
  rotation, he's going to win 2223 games.
• 59:36
  He's going to, he's probably going to start 3435 games.
• 59:39
  This guy is on that trajectory of left-handed pitchers that we
• 59:44
  can compare our all time pitchers, not only for the
• 59:47
  Yankees in baseball history. He's at that trajectory the way
• 59:50
  he's pitching to possibly be a Hall of Famer in the future.
• 59:53
  It is an amazing story and the Yankees are not scoring a lot of
• 59:57
  runs by the clip. Think about this.
• 59:59
  Look at the scores. They beat the Giants 7 nothing.
• 1:00:02
  Then they they won 3 nothing 31. They lost 1215 Nothing 53.
• 1:00:09
  It's not like they're out scoring and out powering these
• 1:00:12
  teams. This is something that the
• 1:00:13
  Yankees have done year in and year out.
• 1:00:15
  They were all without scoring and scoring runs, more home
• 1:00:18
  runs. It's not like that this year.
• 1:00:20
  If the Yankees could play at this level and play Little
• 1:00:23
  League baseball, I mean bunting and running and doing the things
• 1:00:27
  right on the bases, why couldn't the Yankees win 95 to 100 games
• 1:00:30
  this year? Why couldn't the Yankees be in
• 1:00:33
  an elite team and be considered the team to knock off the
• 1:00:36
  Dodgers this year? They are by far this pitching
• 1:00:38
  staff right now. The way they're playing when
• 1:00:40
  they get rode on and Cole back and Schmidt, you're you couldn't
• 1:00:45
  argue this is the best pitching staff the Yankees have ever had
• 1:00:48
  and the best pitching staff in all the baseball.
• 1:00:50
  Yeah, Schlittler is doing things with the.
• 1:00:52
  Pressure on him, the burden on him that I don't think you've
• 1:00:55
  seen many young, young pitchers do at that level, especially in
• 1:00:57
  New York, which is very hard to do this year.
• 1:00:59
  Three guys that you said, Schmidt, Rodon and Cole that are
• 1:01:02
  all hurt and now he's taking more innings, more pitches that
• 1:01:05
  he's learning to develop into his arsenal.
• 1:01:08
  It's a really impressive accomplishment and now once the
• 1:01:10
  Yankees get those guys back, you could see a lot of what the
• 1:01:13
  Brewers did last year where they were able to limit guys with
• 1:01:15
  innings and send guys down if needed to with their younger
• 1:01:18
  guys because they have so much depth right now.
• 1:01:20
  You got Will Warren, you got Ryan Weathers, you got all these
• 1:01:22
  versatile options that they can just move through once they're
• 1:01:25
  healthy. Heel when he gets called up
• 1:01:27
  again because I think they're putting him down because of
• 1:01:29
  innings limits to the beginning of the season.
• 1:01:30
  So they have so much room they can go to.
• 1:01:32
  And like you said, Max Freid is turning into a great trajectory.
• 1:01:36
  Last really good five year peak that he had.
• 1:01:38
  He just didn't say healthy, but the Yankees last year couldn't
• 1:01:40
  have the Braves towards the end of his career.
• 1:01:41
  He's on his way to. I will worry now.
• 1:01:43
  The only thing I worry. About the Yankees is their
• 1:01:45
  bullpen. They always have a very good
• 1:01:48
  bullpen. One of the best bullpens, top
• 1:01:49
  five bullpens in the first half and then they're tired in the
• 1:01:53
  second-half. If these pitchers now you need
• 1:01:55
  Schmidt back, you need these guys to pitch the innings.
• 1:01:58
  If they get these guys back in it, you're going to see he'll
• 1:02:00
  come up at one point this year with an injury when somebody
• 1:02:04
  goes down and that's why they send he'll down so they can give
• 1:02:06
  him his reps and he'll be ready to be called up this year.
• 1:02:09
  This guy was a rookie of the year.
• 1:02:10
  So I'm I'm I don't believe he will sit in the minor leagues
• 1:02:13
  that long. But with this rotation, if they
• 1:02:16
  can get innings out of these pitchers, they're not going to
• 1:02:18
  work out there. They're not going to work into
• 1:02:20
  their bullpen like they've done year in and year out and they're
• 1:02:23
  going to be ready for the playoffs, which they've had
• 1:02:24
  problems in the playoffs staying healthy and keeping this bullpen
• 1:02:28
  fresh. I think this team could
• 1:02:30
  absolutely win 100 games the way they're pitching right now.
• 1:02:33
  Now it's still early and everybody says it's early, calm
• 1:02:35
  down, cool down. I don't know if I can calm down
• 1:02:38
  and cool down about this team. They're doing things that Yankee
• 1:02:41
  rosters and Yankee rotations have never done.
• 1:02:44
  And I'm talking about some great rotations in the past that the
• 1:02:47
  Yankees have. Remember the 98 rotation the
• 1:02:49
  Yankees had? Ridiculous, ridiculous.
• 1:02:52
  And that was the best Yankee team some people argue ever.
• 1:02:56
  This rotation right now is doing things that rotation hasn't
• 1:02:59
  done. I know it's only six games.
• 1:03:01
  It's incredible what they're doing right now, only pitching.
• 1:03:05
  They only have 4 starters right now going into Easter.
• 1:03:09
  It's crazy. Listen.
• 1:03:12
  I'm on the same page with you. I'm thinking the same thing.
• 1:03:14
  I watched a little of that Mariners game and like you said,
• 1:03:17
  Schindler was playing out of his mind and I think he did so good
• 1:03:20
  that he made Kirby step up his game.
• 1:03:22
  If you go back and watch the game, it looks like Kirby came
• 1:03:24
  from over there. He said I need to pitch better.
• 1:03:27
  But then with a Ghostman he had a three run Homer and sealed it
• 1:03:30
  up versus the Mariners. I thought that was great, but
• 1:03:32
  I'm with you on it. I think the entries are the
• 1:03:34
  favorite to come out of the East.
• 1:03:36
  And I think, you know, this might be the time.
• 1:03:38
  I know we've had some meltdowns in the postseason, but I think
• 1:03:40
  it's time that we bring it back. How about Rice, too?
• 1:03:43
  I mean, Rice has been. Unbelievable for the Yankees.
• 1:03:45
  He's been the best hitter for the Yankees and he did this last
• 1:03:48
  year and then he kind of died down in the second-half.
• 1:03:50
  I think he's going to be better this year.
• 1:03:52
  I predict the way Rice is playing right now, as long as he
• 1:03:55
  can be half decent as a defensive player, he might start
• 1:03:59
  for the All Star team at first base.
• 1:04:01
  He he very much could be the best first baseman here in the
• 1:04:05
  American League. Now what he's doing right now.
• 1:04:08
  This guy's on base percentages been as good as as a young
• 1:04:13
  player the Yankees have brought up in years.
• 1:04:15
  Could you remember the last time it was Aaron Judge?
• 1:04:18
  Aaron Judge is the last that the only player that I can remember
• 1:04:22
  that has an on base percentage like Rice has right now.
• 1:04:25
  And it's incredible what he is doing right now.
• 1:04:27
  You got to give him a lot of credit and and he has a good
• 1:04:30
  teacher and Goldschmidt, who's one of the one of the great
• 1:04:32
  first baseman's of this time. So I think this is a great story
• 1:04:36
  for the Yankees. Schlittler Rice, their
• 1:04:38
  youngsters are going and doing very well and hopefully we'll
• 1:04:41
  see little Spencer Jones come up soon.
• 1:04:43
  Not little big Spencer Jones come up soon with that bat in
• 1:04:47
  that lineup. That's all I wish.
• 1:04:49
  I want to see that kid in the lineup.
• 1:04:50
  There's a lot to be happy about with the New York Yankees.
• 1:04:53
  Don't go out. Don't trade away prospects.
• 1:04:55
  Let's ride or die with these young guys and see what they
• 1:04:57
  have. Yeah, Rice is interesting.
• 1:04:59
  He has. A lot of advanced metrics.
• 1:05:03
  People behind him last year, they said he was the most
• 1:05:06
  unlucky player in all of Major League Baseball with his stats.
• 1:05:10
  Using all those things, you can talk about each one by itself,
• 1:05:13
  but if you combine them all, he got screwed the most by bad
• 1:05:16
  luck, they said, in the entire league.
• 1:05:18
  So seeing him come out like this, he's kind of due for some
• 1:05:21
  good luck. He's crushing it right now.
• 1:05:22
  The Yankees absolutely needed that cue.
• 1:05:24
  I was just going to throw it to you a little earlier about, you
• 1:05:27
  know, fast starts and how important those are.
• 1:05:30
  Or are they kind of, like, overrated because like I always
• 1:05:33
  said, it's more how you finished and how you start.
• 1:05:36
  But like, obviously it starts important to know.
• 1:05:38
  Yeah, I think, well, when you're young.
• 1:05:40
  A fast start can give you all the momentum that you need.
• 1:05:43
  So I think that especially when you come into you talk about
• 1:05:46
  opening, opening day and new season and getting out there,
• 1:05:49
  getting those wins early helps you on the backside.
• 1:05:52
  So you know, everybody goes through a little slump during
• 1:05:55
  the middle of the season, but what not, but be able to have
• 1:05:57
  those wins stack up on the top of what you're doing on the back
• 1:06:00
  end of the season. It's tremendous.
• 1:06:02
  So so now. How do we explain Francisco
• 1:06:06
  Lindor? Speedy Francisco Lindor of the
• 1:06:09
  Mets multiple mental mistakes in yesterday's loss versus the
• 1:06:14
  Cardinals. Forgot how many outs there were
• 1:06:16
  in the first inning and he had the ball, stepped on the base
• 1:06:20
  and didn't turn the double play. He gets picked off in the 6th
• 1:06:24
  inning when Soto's at the plate and then Soto hits a home run.
• 1:06:28
  They end up losing. This would have put them over
• 1:06:31
  the top to win. I mean, pretty terrible job by
• 1:06:35
  Lindor, who's supposed to be the leader of the team.
• 1:06:37
  He got killed by everybody in the media today especially.
• 1:06:41
  Yeah, it's definitely not something you see that's unlike.
• 1:06:43
  Him, you've seen this with other Mets players that have come up.
• 1:06:46
  We saw that with Ahmed Rosario. We saw that with even Pete
• 1:06:49
  Alonso at the beginning of his career had a lot of defensive
• 1:06:51
  random blunders. Lindor was never that type of
• 1:06:53
  player. So it's definitely surprising to
• 1:06:55
  see that kind of thing, but did not learn from it in the first
• 1:06:57
  inning to the 6th inning and just try to I guess be unaware.
• 1:07:01
  It's definitely not a good ideal thing when you have other guys
• 1:07:03
  in the lineup, especially the new addition struggling.
• 1:07:05
  But that's struggling. We talked about Simeon
• 1:07:06
  struggling right now at the plate.
• 1:07:08
  You can't have those kinds of things that have the Mets lineup
• 1:07:10
  be top having. Media's got to stop.
• 1:07:12
  This team is still playing 500 baseball.
• 1:07:15
  It's still early in the season. I'm not going to worry about the
• 1:07:18
  Mets. This team's going to win 1413
• 1:07:20
  games in a row and they're going to get really, really hot
• 1:07:23
  because this lineup is really, really good.
• 1:07:25
  Bob Bouschette is not going to be hitting and striking out like
• 1:07:28
  he is doing right now. I mean, he's moving to a
• 1:07:31
  position he's uncomfortable doing.
• 1:07:32
  And this guy is an all world hitter.
• 1:07:35
  This guy's won a batting championship, a batting, you
• 1:07:37
  know, a title. I'm not going to sit here and
• 1:07:39
  say Bob Bouschette is going to hit and 70 this year.
• 1:07:42
  This guy knows how to hit. His father's one of the great
• 1:07:44
  hitters, a Hall of Famer. I'm not going to attack Beau
• 1:07:48
  Bichette because he hasn't figured it out yet.
• 1:07:49
  It's also New York. There's a lot of pressure on
• 1:07:51
  you. There's more pressure being put
• 1:07:53
  on him. He's made what, the fifth
• 1:07:54
  highest paid player in baseball right now?
• 1:07:56
  He's making more than Aaron Judge.
• 1:07:58
  He is beside the Mets have the two highest paid players in New
• 1:08:02
  York right now in baseball. Think about that.
• 1:08:05
  And they're on the same team and they're not the two best players
• 1:08:08
  in the league because the Yankees have the best player in
• 1:08:10
  the league and he's making less so.
• 1:08:12
  And Bichette, not even a top ten player in the league and he's
• 1:08:14
  making. Top five money?
• 1:08:15
  Well, you have to buy into that. If you want a superstar player
• 1:08:18
  to come to you because the Mets are not what you call pinstripes
• 1:08:23
  of a place to go to now, and they're not even as a wet oil
• 1:08:26
  machine. As you've seen some of these,
• 1:08:27
  did you say wet or oil machine well oil I'm.
• 1:08:29
  Just saying, I'm just hear what you want to hear, but I'm just
• 1:08:31
  yes, I thought. You said wet.
• 1:08:33
  Yeah. Yeah, I'm just, I'm just now I'm
• 1:08:34
  going to turn you into. The king of wishful hearing now?
• 1:08:37
  Well, there is something about that.
• 1:08:39
  I do believe. Do you bend the meat?
• 1:08:41
  I do bend the meat, Right, Speedy, Maybe you should.
• 1:08:43
  Thank you. Maybe, maybe I'll use your.
• 1:08:44
  Logic. Maybe you should send the meat I
• 1:08:46
  want you to trim no more. I'm proud.
• 1:08:48
  Of you, Earl, I thought she. Was going to lighten the door up
• 1:08:50
  today. So I'm actually proud of you.
• 1:08:52
  I was. I thought we was going to have
• 1:08:53
  to take you back a little bit. No, I I listen.
• 1:08:56
  I don't take. Shots at the Mets and I I think
• 1:08:58
  that the Mets are still a good team.
• 1:09:00
  They should make the playoffs. We've seen the Mets completely
• 1:09:03
  fall apart in the second-half of the season.
• 1:09:05
  I don't think that's going to happen this year.
• 1:09:07
  They're going to figure it out. They're going to get the legs
• 1:09:09
  under them. They're too good of a lineup.
• 1:09:11
  And I still think this rotation is, I mean, Peralta's good,
• 1:09:15
  Mcclain's good. They have two dominant pitchers
• 1:09:18
  at the top of your pitching staff.
• 1:09:20
  Why couldn't you find a way to win games?
• 1:09:22
  And they got still Tong Tong's not even up yet.
• 1:09:24
  So I I think there's their rotation still good enough to
• 1:09:27
  find ways to win. The Mets are going to be fine.
• 1:09:30
  Yeah, I think they they play well.
• 1:09:31
  I mean. I think they made a lot of
• 1:09:32
  contact with the ball yesterday. They just couldn't get on base.
• 1:09:34
  And I think they just like the Knicks.
• 1:09:36
  They got identity crisis and I know we'll get into them a
• 1:09:38
  little later. Oh God, please.
• 1:09:41
  Well. Let's let's do that right.
• 1:09:43
  Now let's talk about those Knicks in this identity crisis.
• 1:09:47
  So the Knicks did just beat Memphis Grizzlies.
• 1:09:50
  No, Jalen Brunson in that game. Didn't matter.
• 1:09:52
  Memphis Grizzlies. Very bad.
• 1:09:56
  I I looked at the. Roster of the Memphis Grizzlies.
• 1:09:58
  Errol, I will give you $100 right now if you could name you
• 1:10:02
  guys on that team. I'm tired.
• 1:10:05
  You really want me to pull? Something out of Miami.
• 1:10:07
  Honestly, I knew one and. I have never heard of dozen of
• 1:10:11
  the players on that roster. It is an absolute joke of a
• 1:10:16
  team. Said You're coaching the team,
• 1:10:17
  right? Most available.
• 1:10:18
  Name on their team. I'm telling that's the.
• 1:10:20
  Most. That's the name I recognize the
• 1:10:22
  most and only because I remember him from the draft a few years
• 1:10:25
  ago, not because he's good in the league or anything like
• 1:10:27
  that. The Knicks beat that team, but
• 1:10:29
  before that, they lost three straight games.
• 1:10:30
  They've lost four straight games against teams with winning
• 1:10:33
  records. They got blown out by the
• 1:10:34
  Rockets. On Tuesday, Josh Hart said that
• 1:10:36
  the Knicks are not going in the right direction.
• 1:10:41
  Not a great way to go with only a handful of games left in the
• 1:10:44
  season. It's a regular season.
• 1:10:46
  I, I, We. Have to see what this team's
• 1:10:47
  going to do at the tail end, like 4 games left, three games
• 1:10:50
  left. We'll see how they they react to
• 1:10:52
  it. I'm worried about Mike Brown
• 1:10:54
  getting Karl Anthony Towns involved in the game.
• 1:10:56
  That's been the big problem for the Knicks.
• 1:10:58
  You have two guys you're 2 leading scorers in Jalen Bronson
• 1:11:01
  and Karl Anthony Towns. Both don't play defense.
• 1:11:04
  That's going to be a problem in the playoffs.
• 1:11:06
  That is going to be a big problem if these guys are not
• 1:11:08
  consistent as far as defending their position or even helping
• 1:11:13
  out on the glass. And Carl Anthony Towns, he
• 1:11:15
  disappears in games. That has something to do with
• 1:11:17
  coaching. If he's not getting the ball,
• 1:11:19
  the only person that is handing on the ball, giving the ball is
• 1:11:22
  Jose Alvarado. That's a problem when Jaylen
• 1:11:25
  Bronson is not feeding the ball. Josh Hart's not feeding the
• 1:11:27
  ball. Oh Jana, Nope, he's not feeling
• 1:11:28
  feeding the ball. Mikhail Bridges isn't feeding
• 1:11:30
  the ball. If there he's not getting fed
• 1:11:32
  the ball. They're not winning games.
• 1:11:34
  They're not winning champion A championship.
• 1:11:36
  That's the big problem right now.
• 1:11:37
  It's all about Carl Anthony Towns.
• 1:11:39
  If he's not involved in a game, he's not giving you 25 and 12 in
• 1:11:43
  a game. Good luck, Knicks.
• 1:11:44
  You'll probably lose in the first round.
• 1:11:46
  It it's so very important. He is so important to this team.
• 1:11:50
  I would say he's more important than Jaylen Bronson is as far as
• 1:11:53
  what we need the Knicks to do and how they're going to run
• 1:11:56
  their offense. They need to run their offense
• 1:11:58
  just as much through him as they do to Jaylen Bronson.
• 1:12:00
  Yeah, you mentioned last week with it when we're having the.
• 1:12:02
  Size debate of like Carl Anthony Towns doing, you know, do show
• 1:12:05
  his skill set is like this great shooting big man against teams
• 1:12:08
  that have size too. And Houston is definitely one of
• 1:12:10
  those teams and did not showcase it in this game.
• 1:12:12
  Knicks vows back against the Grizzlies team.
• 1:12:14
  But how much does that really matter, Fish?
• 1:12:15
  Like you're saying, they have like, their entire roster
• 1:12:17
  injured. And that's also a big problem
• 1:12:18
  for the New York Knicks. They have problems beating good
• 1:12:20
  teams. They did it last year and
• 1:12:22
  they're doing it this year. They don't when the games are
• 1:12:26
  close or they're coming down to the nitty and the gritty.
• 1:12:28
  We saw what happened against Indiana.
• 1:12:30
  We saw what happened at some points against Detroit.
• 1:12:33
  They got lucky against Detroit and a lot of the games they blew
• 1:12:35
  out the Boston Celtics. I'm not taking shots at you
• 1:12:39
  quitting, but they blew out. They they completely destroyed
• 1:12:42
  the Celtics. And maybe it was the way
• 1:12:44
  everything fell together or maybe Boston just thought they
• 1:12:46
  were going to run right all over the New York Knicks.
• 1:12:49
  But the other two teams, they had problems.
• 1:12:50
  Detroit was a hard team and they had problems with them in the
• 1:12:53
  first, in the first first round. And I they definitely had
• 1:12:57
  problems against Indiana. If they expect to play that
• 1:13:00
  gritty kind of game, the Knicks are not going to beat those
• 1:13:02
  teams. Detroit's tougher than them.
• 1:13:04
  The Celtics are tougher than them.
• 1:13:06
  And, and I would say the only I would say Cleveland isn't
• 1:13:09
  tougher than them, but there are other teams that if they're
• 1:13:12
  match up, could you imagine a Hawks match up against the New
• 1:13:14
  York Knicks? I would be afraid of the Hawks.
• 1:13:16
  He would. He would be the.
• 1:13:17
  Hawks. I would be afraid of he's cover.
• 1:13:19
  The low guys, he's cover the low.
• 1:13:21
  I'd be afraid of the Hawks because they're a tough team.
• 1:13:23
  They play tough now that Trey Young is gone.
• 1:13:26
  They're they're tough and they don't go out there and talk or
• 1:13:29
  curse out to the fans like Trey Young or giving the fans the
• 1:13:32
  finger. They go out and they play
• 1:13:34
  fundamental to fundamental basketball and fundamental teams
• 1:13:38
  are those teams that I work worry about because they got
• 1:13:40
  players that will play hard and play at the top, play at a top
• 1:13:43
  level against the top team, the Hawks, all the spark they
• 1:13:46
  needed. Is to get rid of two players
• 1:13:48
  that Knicks fans love, Trey Young and Chris Top Sports.
• 1:13:50
  Angus, right? Yeah, but I mean.
• 1:13:52
  I think the Knicks are, like I said, they got identity crisis
• 1:13:55
  and I think they're using their offense as their defense.
• 1:13:58
  But the problem is that you're going to have to stop somebody
• 1:14:00
  at some point. And so I know you're a big fan
• 1:14:03
  of OG, but I think they're going to need him to get over at least
• 1:14:06
  20 or better to be able to compete in in the playoffs.
• 1:14:09
  Because I do think as the playoffs continue, Cat is just
• 1:14:12
  going to stretch out and he's going to be taking a lot more
• 1:14:14
  threes than he need to. And he's not.
• 1:14:16
  He doesn't want to be a true big man.
• 1:14:17
  And that's what they need. And with Jenny Burson
• 1:14:19
  utilization and then use it, wait.
• 1:14:22
  And then having him step out and shoot the three, it's just not
• 1:14:24
  going to cut it if that shot is not making.
• 1:14:26
  So that's my concern is when the shot not going in, what are you
• 1:14:29
  going to do? Because you don't play defense.
• 1:14:30
  Yeah. You know, Q, he didn't even
• 1:14:32
  attempt. A single three and they were
• 1:14:34
  working the offense through him last night in this Memphis when
• 1:14:36
  he didn't take 1/3 pointer. Yeah, I mean he had a good day,
• 1:14:40
  but I mean he's dominant unless he just start.
• 1:14:42
  Whining about not getting calls turn the ball over a lot too.
• 1:14:46
  Yeah, if. He take that away, he could
• 1:14:47
  really be a good. Stretch 5, Stretch 4, and it's
• 1:14:50
  Mike Brown and I'm going to tell you this, right?
• 1:14:51
  Now if Mike Brown gets knocked out in the first round, he could
• 1:14:54
  be 1 and done this year. They could fire him after this
• 1:14:57
  show. You guys, we face the census.
• 1:14:59
  What do you think? They'll beat the Sixers?
• 1:15:02
  I think they'll. Beat the Sixers, yeah.
• 1:15:04
  The thing with the Sixers is I don't trust the Sixers and I
• 1:15:08
  don't trust their family, and that's what I'm saying.
• 1:15:11
  If they healthy. Do you trust that and this can
• 1:15:13
  go and can beat them in a series?
• 1:15:15
  I think the Knicks will beat them in a.
• 1:15:17
  Series. I don't trust the Sixers.
• 1:15:19
  I don't trust them as a team. I like Tyrese Maxi, I think he's
• 1:15:22
  a great player, but am I going to trust Joel Embiid?
• 1:15:25
  I don't even know if Paul George is going to be ready.
• 1:15:27
  I don't even know if he'll be healthy enough to play in if in
• 1:15:30
  a full series against the New York Knicks.
• 1:15:32
  I don't trust. I don't trust their team.
• 1:15:34
  Aaron Glenn. Said at the NFL annual meeting.
• 1:15:37
  Yeah, I heard that Geno Smith will lead The Jets to the
• 1:15:42
  Promised Land. This being Passover, as you
• 1:15:45
  know, second night of Passover. I thought this was a relevant
• 1:15:47
  thing to bring up the promised Land and Aaron from the Bible.
• 1:15:51
  The name Aaron, just like my name.
• 1:15:52
  I was there the day Gino was drafted.
• 1:15:55
  At no point in my life that I ever think him in the promised
• 1:15:58
  Land. We're going to come up on this
• 1:15:59
  one together. Maybe the promised land is what
• 1:16:01
  JPP found because he thinks he's healthy enough to go back to the
• 1:16:05
  Big Blue and play for the Giants one more time at age.
• 1:16:08
  Got to be around in his late 30s and I know he only has about 7-7
• 1:16:12
  or eight fingers left on his hands.
• 1:16:14
  I don't know how he's doing it, but God bless that man.
• 1:16:16
  He was on the practice squad of the Bucks last year.
• 1:16:19
  Is is Aaron? Glenn part of a movie called
• 1:16:22
  Babes in Toyland or Laurel and Hardy movie because there is no
• 1:16:27
  way that this guy is going to take him to the promised land.
• 1:16:31
  Maybe three wins, five wins at best promised land not going to
• 1:16:35
  happen. This is there's nobody on this
• 1:16:38
  roster as as far as quarterbacks are concerned that is going to
• 1:16:41
  take him to the promised land. Now, if they bring in Ty Simpson
• 1:16:43
  and let him sit and let him learn and and he develops, maybe
• 1:16:46
  that happens. Maybe they go and draft a
• 1:16:48
  quarterback next year and Dante or or Manning or whatever.
• 1:16:52
  Whoever, whoever they. Decide that they're going to
• 1:16:54
  have to hope on whoever they draft to be their future Geno
• 1:16:58
  Smith. He's the same guy that got
• 1:17:00
  knocked out by a linebacker because even paying $500 because
• 1:17:03
  of a vet, because of playing poker, whatever the hell it was.
• 1:17:06
  And, and again, I hope this thing, I hope this didn't helps
• 1:17:11
  Geno Smith understand what the New York media is and what the
• 1:17:14
  New York fans are all about because it didn't work the last
• 1:17:16
  time he was here. But I, I don't think he's bad.
• 1:17:19
  I don't think Geno Smith. I think he's better than any any
• 1:17:22
  of the quarterbacks The Jets have had since, you know, Aaron
• 1:17:25
  Rod. I mean, Aaron Rodgers wasn't
• 1:17:26
  even good. So I don't even know.
• 1:17:28
  So I I mean, maybe Sam Darlington, Mark Sanchez, he
• 1:17:31
  wasn't. Even that good.
• 1:17:32
  Either so I mean there hasn't been anything.
• 1:17:34
  Christian Hackenberg couldn't hit bronze side of a barn or
• 1:17:37
  something like that. He could only hit a.
• 1:17:40
  Reporter yeah, Chad Pennington, I like.
• 1:17:41
  Chad Pennington if. He stayed healthy.
• 1:17:43
  If he didn't have shoulder problems, Chad could have been
• 1:17:45
  great. He really could have been.
• 1:17:47
  He was. I think Aaron is crazy.
• 1:17:48
  Man I think I mean he said that fell asleep at the combine.
• 1:17:51
  Then he's talking about integrating AI into coaching and
• 1:17:55
  things of that nature. So I think he's all over the
• 1:17:57
  place. He don't have an identity.
• 1:17:59
  Don't think that Gino then is even thinking about taking The
• 1:18:03
  Jets to the promised land. So I think he's just trying to
• 1:18:05
  stay relevant in the news or whatever, and he's doing a
• 1:18:08
  pretty good job at it as far as being in the news, but all for
• 1:18:11
  the wrong reason. All right, and let's finish with
• 1:18:13
  hockey. There was a goalie fight between
• 1:18:16
  the Rangers and Devils goalie this week.
• 1:18:18
  That was awesome. Igor just Sturken got charged by
• 1:18:23
  Devil's winger in the crease, Paul Cotter.
• 1:18:26
  He went after him. Markstrom then skated the length
• 1:18:29
  of the ice only to get put down by Igor.
• 1:18:32
  I knew he what an awesome what an awesome job.
• 1:18:36
  The highlight of the Rangers. Who cares?
• 1:18:38
  They're both not making the playoffs.
• 1:18:40
  Nobody cares who won. Rangers didn't.
• 1:18:43
  It was a good fight. It was a good fight.
• 1:18:45
  You got to admit it was a good, it was a good back and forth and
• 1:18:47
  he put them down. Kelly Rooney, Patrick Wall was a
• 1:18:50
  good fight. That was not OK.
• 1:18:52
  Please, Patrick. Patrick and IT.
• 1:18:54
  Was not to. Be excited about more.
• 1:18:56
  Importantly though, just to finish off.
• 1:18:58
  Sabres play the Islanders and beat them four to three on a
• 1:19:02
  goal by Krebs with three minutes left.
• 1:19:04
  That puts the Sabres at 100 points for the season and gives
• 1:19:08
  them the first place spot currently in the Atlantic
• 1:19:12
  Division and the most points. I also believe in all of the
• 1:19:15
  Eastern Conference, the Islanders are third in the
• 1:19:18
  metro. They have a one point lead on
• 1:19:20
  the Blue Jackets, but the Blue Jackets have a game in hand.
• 1:19:23
  They also leave the last wild card spot over the Senators by
• 1:19:26
  three points, but Ottawa has two games in hand.
• 1:19:30
  I'm not worried. I'm not.
• 1:19:31
  Worried about the Islanders? I think the Islanders will sneak
• 1:19:33
  into the playoffs, even if if there's an eighth seed, we might
• 1:19:36
  see the Buffalo Sabres in the Islanders in the first round,
• 1:19:39
  the Battle of New York. That would be fun to watch.
• 1:19:42
  It's not the Rangers in the Islanders that every New York
• 1:19:44
  fan wants to see, but it'll be fun.
• 1:19:46
  The Buffalo Sabres are a young team, up and coming team.
• 1:19:48
  They're they're loaded and they they have a tremendous type of
• 1:19:52
  player like Tage Thompson, who has been so sensational all
• 1:19:55
  season long, including winning a gold with Team USA.
• 1:19:59
  I'm not. And again, the Islanders, all
• 1:20:01
  they got to do is make the playoffs and anything could
• 1:20:03
  happen. They have a great goaltender in
• 1:20:04
  Sarokin who's probably going to win goalie of the year.
• 1:20:07
  I mean, his metrics would tell you that he should.
• 1:20:09
  And they have probably arguably the best young player right now
• 1:20:13
  in hockey. So I, I, I, that's what you want
• 1:20:15
  to see. I want to see Buffalo in the.
• 1:20:17
  Challengers making and see the battle of New York.
• 1:20:19
  Nothing really impressive about the Rangers and the Devils
• 1:20:23
  fighting. Goaltender is whoever is beating
• 1:20:26
  the hell out of anybody. The only thing they're going to
• 1:20:28
  be pounding out is beers on a golf course At the end of the
• 1:20:31
  season. They can hang out on the golf
• 1:20:32
  course and beat the hell out of each other there.
• 1:20:34
  I could care less. Yeah, the Islanders, I think
• 1:20:37
  they were due to. Level out a little bit, but they
• 1:20:39
  haven't really gone on any bad stretches yet so I think they
• 1:20:41
  will still be fine too. Ottawa was a very streak reliant
• 1:20:43
  team there in the first wild card out and Buffalo's play them
• 1:20:46
  tonight. So they're gonna actually get a
• 1:20:47
  little help from Buffalo. And Buffalo, yeah, they've
• 1:20:49
  weathered the course very well getting a better goaltending
• 1:20:52
  now. That was the question coming in
• 1:20:53
  if they can get in the playoffs, they're definitely dangerous.
• 1:20:55
  All right, Lee Carousel. That is.
• 1:20:57
  The concrete jungle. Carousel And now, ladies and
• 1:21:00
  gentlemen, the deuce of the day. The deuce of the day.
• 1:21:05
  You log, not a log. I don't have a log, But no.
• 1:21:15
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, I was.
• 1:21:16
  Hanging out in the. Facility today and I'm not
• 1:21:18
  talking about the bathroom because we are talking about the
• 1:21:21
  deuce of the day, but I was hanging out.
• 1:21:22
  At the office today. And before I left, I was talking
• 1:21:25
  about media day, going to the Ducks media day and hanging out
• 1:21:29
  and interviewing some of the players.
• 1:21:31
  And then I get a call and a text message from Fish and he tells
• 1:21:35
  me that Trevor Bauer just signed a contract for this year to play
• 1:21:39
  for the Ducks. That's great because Trevor
• 1:21:41
  Bauer is one of the highest and most disliked players in the
• 1:21:45
  Major League. What was in the major leagues?
• 1:21:47
  There's a lot of stories behind some of the background.
• 1:21:50
  Jabba didn't like him, a lot of people don't like him, and now I
• 1:21:53
  got to get a chance. I'm going to have a media pass
• 1:21:55
  all season long to go to Ducks games and get as much
• 1:21:58
  information as I possibly can from Trevor Bauer as he signs a
• 1:22:03
  contract with the Ducks. I'm loving it.
• 1:22:06
  Now I can get all the information I need.
• 1:22:09
  I can use it to attack the major leagues, attack everybody that
• 1:22:12
  spoke about him, including Jabba Chamberlain that came on the
• 1:22:15
  show and said he was a nasty, mean person.
• 1:22:18
  I'm just, I'm very intrigued because I'm going to get as much
• 1:22:22
  content as I possibly can from this guy.
• 1:22:24
  I don't know if it's a deuce of the day or it's the goal of the
• 1:22:27
  day because my goal this year is to get all the information I
• 1:22:31
  possibly can from Trevor Bauer to attack the MLB to top and Ted
• 1:22:37
  Tack, Rob Manfred, Manfred or whatever you call him.
• 1:22:40
  This is a great story, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:22:42
  I'm loving it. I'm seeping it.
• 1:22:44
  I'm happy, Speedy. You're happy, right?
• 1:22:46
  Who cares what you like? That's beautiful.
• 1:22:51
  Trevor Bauer coming to Long Island with the Ducks.
• 1:22:54
  Got to reach out to Nick Goody. When Nick Goody comes out in a
• 1:22:57
  couple of weeks, maybe we'll go to a Bower game.
• 1:22:59
  He's out here. We'll go check out Trevor Bauer
• 1:23:02
  because they're buddies, even though Job and him didn't like
• 1:23:04
  each other anyways. Well, that's it.
• 1:23:08
  I'm I'm it's not over for the show.
• 1:23:10
  I'm just saying that's it. Anyways, when we come back, we
• 1:23:13
  will be we will be talking to 2026 NFL draft prospect, Navy
• 1:23:17
  safety and outside linebacker and now a new friend of the
• 1:23:21
  show, Jackson Campbell. Thank you, Nathan, but first our
• 1:23:25
  sports minute with fish this. Is a New York.
• 1:23:30
  Sports. Loudmouth Sports Minute, all
• 1:23:34
  right. Guys, Aaron Fishman here with
• 1:23:36
  your. Sportsman, I've got a couple of
• 1:23:37
  stories for you before we get into the scores this evening.
• 1:23:40
  In news that should make fans of the game of backyard football
• 1:23:43
  extremely happy, as well as those who advocate for a safer
• 1:23:47
  brand of the game, the NFL and TMRW Tomorrow Sports announced A
• 1:23:52
  partnership to create the first ever professional flag Football
• 1:23:56
  League for men and women. This new league will be backed
• 1:23:59
  by all 32 franchises, according to ESPN report from Josh
• 1:24:03
  Weinfus, one of the investors, Hall of Fame wide receiver Larry
• 1:24:06
  Fitzgerald, told reporters that the league had been in the works
• 1:24:09
  for two years and that it's been a long time coming.
• 1:24:12
  And I think just with the growth of the game, as you see it
• 1:24:16
  expanded internationally, obviously with the Olympic
• 1:24:18
  announcement of flag football coming, we thought it would be a
• 1:24:21
  great opportunity to really expand it.
• 1:24:24
  With no lack of famous investors.
• 1:24:26
  Tomorrow Sports CEO Mike Mccarley told reporters the
• 1:24:29
  momentum behind flag football has been building for decades.
• 1:24:32
  The pathway is there and I think a lot of you are seeing in your
• 1:24:36
  communities where from youth to high school, now in college and
• 1:24:39
  in two years at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, what's
• 1:24:42
  been missing in that pathway is professional league.
• 1:24:46
  And that professional league is where these kids can aspire to
• 1:24:48
  go play and where the athletes who will compete in the Olympics
• 1:24:52
  every four years can earn a living and do it in the sport
• 1:24:55
  that they grew up chasing and pursuing, doing that sport that
• 1:24:57
  they love to play, football. We are here to help the NFL
• 1:25:02
  build this league. In some states, like Florida,
• 1:25:04
  where I used to live, flag football was a varsity sport in
• 1:25:07
  high schools for girls. Perhaps this development will
• 1:25:10
  bring that awesome trend up north, as this league is
• 1:25:13
  apparently going to really happen in the near future.
• 1:25:17
  The Pittsburgh Pirates are promoting the number one
• 1:25:21
  prospect in baseball, Connor Griffin, ahead of their home
• 1:25:24
  opener on Friday. Griffin, who will turn 20 later
• 1:25:27
  this month, is expected to step right into the sharding starting
• 1:25:31
  shortstop duties for the team, which would make him the first
• 1:25:34
  teenage position player to debut since Juan Soto did eight
• 1:25:38
  seasons ago. Griffin is the reigning minor
• 1:25:41
  league player of the year and has absolutely mashed in AAA
• 1:25:44
  since the start of the season. Last year he hit 333 with 21
• 1:25:49
  homers, 65 stolen bases with a 942 OPS between low A, high A
• 1:25:55
  and AA in his first minor league season.
• 1:25:58
  The Pirates and Griffin are apparently working on a long
• 1:26:00
  term extension that will keep Griffinsburg to be the
• 1:26:03
  cornerstone of what seems like an endless rebuild down by where
• 1:26:07
  the Three Rivers meet. The extension is expected to
• 1:26:09
  exceed that of Red Sox Roman Anthony, last year's top
• 1:26:13
  prospect, and be worth around 9 years and around 140 million.
• 1:26:17
  This model paying players just about to become major leaguers
• 1:26:21
  is relatively new for the league.
• 1:26:23
  Griffin's promotion is certainly noteworthy, more so if you
• 1:26:26
  actually can do the unthinkable and help.
• 1:26:28
  The Pirates have their first winning season since 2018, when
• 1:26:31
  they went 82 and 79. Besides that middling 2018 year
• 1:26:35
  and a three-year stretch from 2013 to 2015, when they made the
• 1:26:39
  Wild Card game twice in the NLDS once, the Pirates have had a
• 1:26:43
  losing team every year dating back to 1993.

• 1:29:14
  Time on New York sports loudmouth.
• 1:29:16
  We are talking to 2026 NFL draft prospect and Navy safety and
• 1:29:21
  outside linebacker, now our friend Jackson Campbell.
• 1:29:25
  Jackson, What's up, man? How's it going?
• 1:29:29
  Thanks for having me. Well, thank.
• 1:29:30
  You, I mean, we went a little too long on.
• 1:29:31
  The last segment, so I know you've been waiting calmly and
• 1:29:34
  carefully. It looks like you're in a
• 1:29:35
  gymnasium. I mean, you're starting to look
• 1:29:37
  like Nathan's back wall. I mean, there's nothing on his
• 1:29:40
  back. He looks like he's like in a,
• 1:29:43
  you know, a semi, what we call that Speedy, a jail cell.
• 1:29:46
  I almost said cemetery. But who knows with Nathan, He
• 1:29:49
  might be a serial killer anyways.
• 1:29:51
  And he's not wearing his his blue blazer tonight, so that is
• 1:29:55
  a good sign. Ladies and gentlemen, he's just
• 1:29:57
  hanging out, relaxing on the couch and watching the show.
• 1:30:01
  But Jackson, we've heard a lot of great things about you.
• 1:30:04
  You're young, you're talented. You played for Navy.
• 1:30:06
  I love watching those Navy and Army games.
• 1:30:09
  Tell us a little bit about competing against Army year in
• 1:30:13
  and year out. Yeah.
• 1:30:14
  First, thanks for having. Me, I'm actually in one of the
• 1:30:19
  the, the biggest dormitory in the country.
• 1:30:23
  Yeah, here at the name Cabbie. All, all 4000 midshipmen stay in
• 1:30:27
  Bancroft Hall. It's super old.
• 1:30:30
  I live on the top deck. So that's why.
• 1:30:33
  That's why it's looks like a prison, actually.
• 1:30:36
  But yeah, playing against army every year is a privilege.
• 1:30:39
  You know, over 10 million people watch that game.
• 1:30:43
  It's a game that they're obviously an opponent that is
• 1:30:48
  familiar with our offense. We're familiar with theirs.
• 1:30:51
  So you can kind of throw out schemes and everything where
• 1:30:54
  throughout the year our offense kind of rolled other teams just
• 1:30:57
  because they weren't used to running that like Sling T type
• 1:31:01
  of offense. But they obviously know that.
• 1:31:03
  So you can throw that out the window and it's just a game of
• 1:31:06
  grit. One of the most physical games
• 1:31:08
  I've played in. It's electric.
• 1:31:11
  It's definitely an American saying.
• 1:31:14
  Like as an American, you, you need to go to a game now.
• 1:31:18
  We've seen a lot. Of great safeties.
• 1:31:21
  Come out of college and go to the NFL.
• 1:31:23
  There's a couple of them to mine.
• 1:31:25
  Kyle Hamilton playing for the Baltimore Ravens, Big, long,
• 1:31:28
  talented speed guy that'll beat you right inside.
• 1:31:32
  Derwin James, Sensational on the LA Chargers, Xavier McKinney.
• 1:31:36
  When you look at these three guys and one of the guys
• 1:31:39
  actually was drafted by the Giants, I no no longer with the
• 1:31:42
  Giants, just with the Green Bay Packers.
• 1:31:43
  He really developed with the Green Bay Packers.
• 1:31:45
  That's a whole nother story. I just like taking shots at all
• 1:31:48
  the Giant fans. But nevertheless, you look at
• 1:31:50
  these three guys, is there one of these guys that you can
• 1:31:53
  compare your skills to? Yeah, I'd like to say Kyle
• 1:31:56
  Hamilton. Obviously playing against them,
• 1:31:58
  he he was a little before me, but playing against Notre Dame
• 1:32:02
  every year is always special. You can kind of roll down into
• 1:32:06
  the box. I myself played outside
• 1:32:08
  linebackers, the nickel role here at the Academy during the
• 1:32:11
  last two years and I think I can be like a Swiss Army knife,
• 1:32:15
  whether that be special teams or playing nickel.
• 1:32:19
  I'm definitely a physical player and Kyle's the same and I think
• 1:32:23
  our games kind of kind of match up well, so you'll be learning
• 1:32:27
  all these different. Types of positions you've seen
• 1:32:29
  these hybrid defenders really become a main thing.
• 1:32:31
  Even if you're not the even if you're not like the best player
• 1:32:33
  on the team, somebody that does like 3 or 4 things like that
• 1:32:35
  could be very important. How is it for you when your
• 1:32:38
  coaching staff over there or even in maybe in other levels in
• 1:32:40
  high school, like learning all those positions being different
• 1:32:43
  like that? I think it's awesome ever since.
• 1:32:45
  Growing up, I've just always loved ball.
• 1:32:48
  I played quarterback in high school.
• 1:32:50
  Was Allstate quarterback recruited at quarterback and so
• 1:32:55
  played played receiver actually my freshman year at the Academy
• 1:32:59
  and then coach Niemont who recruited.
• 1:33:03
  Me was let go. I think he's somewhere.
• 1:33:05
  In San Jose State right now. And then that's when Coach
• 1:33:09
  Newberry came in and I've switched.
• 1:33:11
  Knowing all those different positions and the mindset of a
• 1:33:15
  quarterback, what there's like, what they don't like, whether it
• 1:33:18
  be getting jammed up or just throwing off that tiny, really
• 1:33:20
  helps me translate that on the defensive side of the ball where
• 1:33:24
  I knew I could be physical and I knew what offensive players
• 1:33:28
  liked and what they didn't like and those sort of things.
• 1:33:31
  Yeah, Josh, what's going on, man?
• 1:33:32
  This Quinn? Copus, man, I first of all,
• 1:33:35
  thank you for coming on the show.
• 1:33:37
  As you just mentioned, you used to play offense.
• 1:33:39
  She was a quarterback in the receiver.
• 1:33:41
  Talk to me a little bit about that transition from basically
• 1:33:44
  not being hit and now delivering the hit.
• 1:33:46
  Yeah, Honestly, in high school I was a little bit of.
• 1:33:48
  A a Pansy. I just like to score a
• 1:33:51
  touchdown, get the girls, that sort of thing.
• 1:33:54
  And my mom actually always told me I would be a better defender.
• 1:33:58
  Once I realized that hitting people actually didn't and I had
• 1:34:02
  something that I enjoyed, I loved it because we all know the
• 1:34:06
  the best athletes on the field actually play defense because
• 1:34:09
  come on, I'm able to move backwards where you're, you know
• 1:34:13
  exactly where you're going and I can use my athleticism to stop.
• 1:34:17
  There's no better feeling having a stadium full of 40,000 people
• 1:34:21
  screaming their heads off and you got to make the stop.
• 1:34:23
  And like knowing that you can actually have control over a
• 1:34:27
  game fires me up. And it's something that I want
• 1:34:30
  to continue to do because, you know, being a receiver,
• 1:34:32
  sometimes you're dependent. You're dependent on your
• 1:34:34
  quarterback getting you the ball and then you're also dependent
• 1:34:38
  on the line blocking for the quarterback.
• 1:34:40
  Depending on the weather sometimes where defense you can
• 1:34:43
  line it you we can line it up anywhere.
• 1:34:45
  I don't care about a gravel Rd. That's a fact.
• 1:34:50
  Well, and by the. Way we are talking to two. 1026
• 1:34:53
  NFL draft prospect, Navy's safety and outside linebacker
• 1:34:56
  Jackson Campbell. It's not Jackson Dart for all
• 1:34:59
  the Giant fans, but it's Jackson Campbell and he might be drafted
• 1:35:02
  by the New York Giants. Anything's possible, but there
• 1:35:05
  are a couple linebackers in this class that have stood out,
• 1:35:09
  especially at the combine. Sunny Styles from Ohio State,
• 1:35:12
  Avril, Avril Reese from Ohio State, CJ Allen from Georgia,
• 1:35:17
  Anthony Hill Junior. When you look at these talented
• 1:35:20
  players that are going to be drafted this year, what type of
• 1:35:23
  player can you tell the fans you are compared to these players
• 1:35:28
  and why are you a better choice from all three or four of these
• 1:35:31
  guys? I don't know those guys on a
• 1:35:34
  personal. Level and so I know they're
• 1:35:35
  great players and the great athletes, but I can only speak
• 1:35:38
  on myself and a player that you're getting within me is the
• 1:35:43
  ultimate competitor. You can look at our our rap
• 1:35:46
  sheet. The last two years we've won
• 1:35:48
  over 22 games, only lost five. We've beaten SC teams like
• 1:35:53
  Oklahoma. We'd beaten Cincinnati and
• 1:35:55
  Memphis twice. I feel like a lot of times we
• 1:35:59
  can get the stigma of being a service Academy that we're
• 1:36:02
  smaller or less competitive. And I think those days are kind
• 1:36:07
  of over. We did something special in the
• 1:36:09
  past two years here with no NIL thing of that we're able to
• 1:36:14
  dominate teams. And so I think I'm a player
• 1:36:16
  who's super physical and athletic and where he might not
• 1:36:21
  have the top end speed like the those other cats might have.
• 1:36:25
  And I might not be playing in the Big 10, but you put me out
• 1:36:29
  on the field, I'm going to compete and I'm going to go win.
• 1:36:31
  I'm a I'm a sure tackler and I, I just.
• 1:36:35
  Love to play? Football and I want to continue
• 1:36:38
  doing that. You hear that?
• 1:36:39
  Giant fans and Jet fans, I. Like this kid, he's confident.
• 1:36:42
  He's not going out there showing you an ego.
• 1:36:44
  He didn't take shots at any of these guys saying that he he's
• 1:36:47
  better than any of them. Because we've heard, I've heard
• 1:36:49
  Reese go out there and say he's the best.
• 1:36:51
  I've heard styles come out there and say that he's the best.
• 1:36:54
  Pain, pain, go out there and say he's the best.
• 1:36:56
  This kids just saying I'm, I'm, I'm the ultimate competitor.
• 1:37:00
  I I want to win and I'm going to go out there and give my best
• 1:37:02
  every single day. And that's what you want to
• 1:37:04
  hear. That's why the New York Jets
• 1:37:05
  need those kind of players. The Giants need those kind of
• 1:37:07
  players. So there's a good possibility
• 1:37:09
  you'll be here hanging out here in New York.
• 1:37:11
  I stay away from The Jets. I'm a Jet fan because it seems
• 1:37:15
  like they get lost in the shuffle.
• 1:37:16
  As you know, Quinton Couples was a first round talent by the New
• 1:37:19
  York Jets and he got lost and you know, but we got him.
• 1:37:23
  So he's a he's a first round draft pick for us as well.
• 1:37:26
  But there you go. We found.
• 1:37:29
  I wouldn't. Mind going back to the Giants?
• 1:37:32
  My, my pox tank Daniels, he he played there.
• 1:37:35
  He was a free agent. Oh really?
• 1:37:37
  For the Eagles and then was at the Giants when they won the
• 1:37:40
  Super Bowl. So you just not mind being
• 1:37:42
  embarrassed? You just made.
• 1:37:44
  You made made. Coach Fish very, very happy over
• 1:37:47
  there because he has like, he has this like love fest for the
• 1:37:50
  New York Giants. I don't know what it is.
• 1:37:52
  He thinks that everybody's getting the New York Giants.
• 1:37:54
  You name it, they're getting it. It could be, it could be
• 1:37:57
  anybody. Hey, you know what?
• 1:37:59
  Ray Lewis is coming out of retirement.
• 1:38:01
  He's going to the Giants. Terrell Rugs is coming out of
• 1:38:03
  retirement. Reed, everybody, all the great
• 1:38:05
  defenses, defensive players, Brian Urlacher, he's coming out
• 1:38:09
  of a retirement, he's going to the New York Giants.
• 1:38:11
  So if there's something about the New York Giants fans, we got
• 1:38:14
  a couple of them on the show and a lot of fans that listen to the
• 1:38:17
  show. But you know, it's interesting
• 1:38:19
  about the game of football. And I've I've seen I've watched
• 1:38:23
  this game, I've seen some really bad football in the past,
• 1:38:26
  especially guys that try to transform their talents to
• 1:38:30
  another position. What was it like now?
• 1:38:33
  You went from one position to another position to another
• 1:38:36
  position. So think about it.
• 1:38:37
  You you went from the quarterback to a safety to an
• 1:38:41
  outside linebacker. Tell us a little bit about all
• 1:38:44
  those positions and how hard was it to transform your talent from
• 1:38:48
  position to the other? Yeah, each position is.
• 1:38:52
  Specific and and unique in its own way, but I really don't
• 1:38:57
  think the transition was really hard and I think it really stems
• 1:38:59
  back to kind of how I was raised and kind of to the competitor
• 1:39:04
  that I am at the end of the day as a freshman, being recruited
• 1:39:07
  as a quarterback, I had a lot of success in high school and I
• 1:39:11
  wanted to play well. To play as a freshman, you got
• 1:39:14
  to be a different type of dude, especially at the quarterback
• 1:39:18
  position. So having that mindset and
• 1:39:20
  knowing like, man, what's the best way to make the bus and and
• 1:39:23
  travel and play as oppression? Well, everyone knows the special
• 1:39:26
  teams. And so I was out actually out
• 1:39:29
  there fall camp freshman year in an orange jersey running down on
• 1:39:33
  kickoff just to try to hot get get on the bus.
• 1:39:37
  And that kind of caught my coach's eyes.
• 1:39:40
  And so from that, I started making the transition of being
• 1:39:43
  like, hey, like, I just want to compete.
• 1:39:45
  I want to be out there. The transition in itself wasn't
• 1:39:48
  that intense. Knowing that I just wanted to
• 1:39:50
  play. I'm thankful that I did that
• 1:39:53
  too. So I was able to play receiver
• 1:39:55
  my freshman year, travel play against teams like Notre Dame,
• 1:39:59
  and then my sophomore year on, I was able to play defense.
• 1:40:02
  And it's been great throughout my entire college career.
• 1:40:06
  So the military to football or? Vice versa, transition is
• 1:40:09
  something we've seen kind of brought up more prominently.
• 1:40:12
  Nate Boyer played for the Seattle Seahawks, was on our
• 1:40:14
  show a couple years ago. He said when he was he was
• 1:40:16
  actually in the military before he ever played football.
• 1:40:18
  Then he played in college and then played a couple years in
• 1:40:20
  the NFL after that. We've seen with Alejandro
• 1:40:22
  Villanueva, who spent a couple years in the military before
• 1:40:24
  joining the Steelers and playing for a while.
• 1:40:26
  What was your journey like both ways and how did you get
• 1:40:29
  exposed? Was it a family thing with
• 1:40:32
  joining the military and the blame in football?
• 1:40:36
  Yes, I'm I'm actually the first person.
• 1:40:38
  In my my family to be in the military upon graduation here in
• 1:40:43
  May, I'm going to Commission into the Marine Corps.
• 1:40:46
  I'm going to be a Marine Corps pilot.
• 1:40:49
  I hope to fly 50 threes. They're like a big old
• 1:40:52
  helicopter. And yeah, really this, this
• 1:40:55
  place is super unique in the fact that it's giving me great
• 1:40:57
  opportunity to play big time football.
• 1:41:00
  And that's something that I'd love to do it and then later
• 1:41:04
  also give great sacrifice and and serve my country what which
• 1:41:09
  I love. So it's really unique in that
• 1:41:12
  aspect where it gives me the best of both worlds.
• 1:41:15
  And as much as I want to continue doing what I love, and
• 1:41:19
  that's playing football, when football does end, serving is
• 1:41:23
  something that I'm very excited. Who's your agent?
• 1:41:25
  I I I got to reach. Out to the New York Jets.
• 1:41:27
  I I need this guy. I don't.
• 1:41:29
  I don't have one at the. Moment Oh really one bad really
• 1:41:32
  trying to reach out to people yes, I can help you.
• 1:41:35
  You're getting, you're getting. I can help.
• 1:41:37
  You're getting a dog. Over here, someone who started
• 1:41:39
  two years been all all defense of the week in the American
• 1:41:46
  Conference had 2 1/2 sacks against Air Force.
• 1:41:51
  Like, yeah, I got some tape. You can run me where I might be
• 1:41:56
  short. On some measurements.
• 1:41:57
  And stuff like my competition and my mindset is you're going
• 1:42:01
  to get a competitor. So I'm trying to get that camp
• 1:42:03
  invite by any means necessary because I know what I'm worth.
• 1:42:09
  I got to. I can help you.
• 1:42:10
  With that I know. A couple of agents that always
• 1:42:13
  looking for some up and coming talent and why not?
• 1:42:17
  What we can cross, we can cross numbers and I can hook you up
• 1:42:20
  with 1. So you mentioned the 53, Jesse.
• 1:42:23
  Tell me, I don't know too much about it.
• 1:42:25
  Well, let me let me rephrase that.
• 1:42:27
  I don't know too much about it in regards to certain military
• 1:42:31
  details and whatnot, but I am a fan of the Apache.
• 1:42:34
  So give me a little compare and contrast in regards to which one
• 1:42:37
  is better, which one is not good.
• 1:42:40
  But I don't know what I don't know without, you know, give me
• 1:42:42
  any classified information. They're similar as as far as
• 1:42:45
  like they're both. Helicopters and the The Chapter
• 1:42:48
  53 is an helicopter that the Marine Corps flies, so they can
• 1:42:52
  do anything from humanitarian work to dropping off a platoon
• 1:42:57
  of infantry Marines into a combat zone.
• 1:43:01
  It's it's a unit of a helicopter.
• 1:43:03
  So this helicopter can carry supplies as well.
• 1:43:07
  So it can carry like a Humvee, it can carry up to twice its
• 1:43:11
  weight. After I finish up the basic
• 1:43:13
  school, that's the school in Quantico, VA, with the Marine
• 1:43:16
  Corps. I'll be down in Pensacola doing
• 1:43:19
  my flight training. But All in all to say, I hope to
• 1:43:24
  extend all that because I'm playing ball in the summer
• 1:43:27
  trying to make a squad. Oh, no doubt about it.
• 1:43:29
  So you are you. Entering as a safety or outside
• 1:43:32
  linebacker, I am. I'm in at.
• 1:43:36
  The same thing. OK, so I got a couple.
• 1:43:37
  Questions for you, are you in the box safety or over the top
• 1:43:40
  safety? Primarily in the box, but I can.
• 1:43:43
  I can do that. You can do both.
• 1:43:45
  OK, OK. Which?
• 1:43:46
  One you prefer. I like to be in the box because
• 1:43:49
  I like. To come downhill.
• 1:43:51
  OK, so you are so that answers my next.
• 1:43:53
  Question you, are you a big hit guy or you a pick six type of
• 1:43:55
  guy? Oh yeah, Big hit, big hit.
• 1:43:58
  Big hit type of guy, OK. OK.
• 1:44:00
  OK. That's work.
• 1:44:01
  That's good work, man. Yeah, definitely safeties are
• 1:44:04
  definitely needed to be physical and then it's level.
• 1:44:06
  So, you know, you got you got the right mindset, man.
• 1:44:09
  And so I think you're going to transition work pretty well if
• 1:44:12
  you get an invite. Listen to that, Jackson.
• 1:44:14
  You got an. X first round draft pick telling
• 1:44:17
  you that you could be a nice fit somewhere.
• 1:44:20
  And I, I think the safeties in the NFL are one of those
• 1:44:23
  positions that aren't appreciated.
• 1:44:25
  I, I, I, you look at the running back position, you look at the
• 1:44:28
  safety, We've gone back and forth positions that just are
• 1:44:32
  not over appreciated in the league.
• 1:44:34
  And, and, and we're seeing guys like we've, we've mentioned over
• 1:44:38
  the last couple of, you know, questions that I've asked you
• 1:44:42
  guys that Hamilton is one of them.
• 1:44:43
  He's starting to develop. Fitzpatrick was just traded to
• 1:44:46
  the New York Jets. He was a top five top 6 when
• 1:44:49
  he's healthy. So there are guys out there that
• 1:44:51
  can really change a defense and, and, and I'll tell you this
• 1:44:54
  right now, there are not many elite safeties in the NFL right
• 1:44:58
  now. We are talking to 2026 NFL draft
• 1:45:01
  prospect, Navy safety and outside linebacker Jackson
• 1:45:05
  Campbell. Jackson, you look at the league,
• 1:45:08
  is there a particular team? Now, I know you can't choose
• 1:45:11
  your team, but if you could, is there a particular team you
• 1:45:15
  think you fit with in the NFL? And is there a coach out there
• 1:45:19
  you would like to be coached by? There's 32 coaches I like to be
• 1:45:22
  coached. By but honestly, growing up a
• 1:45:25
  Steeler fan, knowing the history that they had Pittsburgh
• 1:45:30
  legendary coaches, legendary owner, legendary fans,
• 1:45:36
  definitely a football town. That would if that's in God's.
• 1:45:40
  Plan that would be a gift. But really, like I said, there's
• 1:45:45
  32 teams. I, I wouldn't mind any of them.
• 1:45:49
  Let me get your old agent Q Put my name out there, especially,
• 1:45:54
  especially. Being at the Academy, you know
• 1:45:56
  you got something. You got something in common with
• 1:45:59
  Q you. Got something in common with QQ
• 1:46:01
  is a Pittsburgh Steeler fan. That's one.
• 1:46:04
  And and #2 guess where we're going to be around the draft
• 1:46:09
  time? We're going to be at Pittsburgh.
• 1:46:10
  So maybe you should fly over there and come and hang out with
• 1:46:13
  us. Oh. 33 it's not a big deal, but
• 1:46:17
  it's a big deal to me. I'll be my senior year.
• 1:46:20
  I was at Hargrade Military Academy, so I kind of, you know,
• 1:46:24
  me like it ain't nowhere near your level, but, you know, I do.
• 1:46:29
  I do. I did have a little bit of
• 1:46:30
  military experience in in in hospital.
• 1:46:33
  Yeah. Well, how did you meet Niffen, I
• 1:46:35
  mean. Seriously.
• 1:46:36
  I mean. Did did the blue blazer pop out
• 1:46:38
  of like a wall or did he pop out somewhere out of a Bush and say,
• 1:46:43
  Oh my God, I can help you? How did how did you meet Niffen?
• 1:46:46
  Who is that Niffen the old? Niffster.
• 1:46:49
  The guy that got you hooked up with us?
• 1:46:51
  The old needy. Oh, Oh yeah, he.
• 1:46:54
  He reached out on Instagram. Oh, OK all.
• 1:46:58
  Right, right. You know, he had to throw
• 1:47:00
  somebody a bone and he tied, he tied a string to.
• 1:47:04
  It and he drew. You in?
• 1:47:05
  Nathan's a good guy. He's one of those nice guys.
• 1:47:08
  He's like a 5 foot 6 like, you know, guy that likes to go out
• 1:47:12
  with a blue blazer and, you know, a polo shirt and whatever
• 1:47:16
  you call those pants. I mean he's definitely color
• 1:47:21
  slacks. Color coordinated.
• 1:47:23
  In many different areas. Right there.
• 1:47:25
  Lovely sand. So, I mean, you and Nathan would
• 1:47:30
  be. Nathan loves the women.
• 1:47:31
  I mean, is there a particular? First of all, are you dating
• 1:47:34
  anybody? Are you with anybody right now?
• 1:47:36
  Yeah, I am. I'm about to get married in May.
• 1:47:41
  There we go. Let's go there.
• 1:47:43
  You go. Yes, definitely.
• 1:47:45
  Excited about that? So where does your girl?
• 1:47:48
  Want you to go? Is there a?
• 1:47:49
  Particular team she would like you to play for Beyoncé, he
• 1:47:52
  said. Me.
• 1:47:55
  Anywhere. Anywhere she.
• 1:47:58
  Yes, so you read. It it gives a little bit more.
• 1:48:02
  Stability than the military, right Exactly.
• 1:48:05
  Well, I. Wish you nothing.
• 1:48:07
  But the best man and if you need any help finding an agent, I'm
• 1:48:11
  sure we can help you. I know a couple of guys that
• 1:48:13
  would be interested in and taking a call from you and, and,
• 1:48:17
  and getting to know you as a player.
• 1:48:19
  And if you need that help, I have no problems helping you
• 1:48:22
  there. But congratulations on such a
• 1:48:24
  great year over there at Navy, a great career playing college
• 1:48:28
  ball. And, and wherever you go,
• 1:48:30
  depending on playing football in the NFL or succeeding as a pilot
• 1:48:35
  in the service in the Marine Corps, I wish you nothing but
• 1:48:38
  the best. Let's talk after the draft.
• 1:48:40
  Wherever you go, if you're picked up in the draft or you're
• 1:48:43
  a walk on, I'd love to know where you're going to go and who
• 1:48:46
  you're trying out for. My friends appreciate it.
• 1:48:48
  Yeah, well, I'll definitely be keeping in touch.
• 1:48:49
  With y'all, I'll reach out to you too.
• 1:48:52
  Thank you man. Appreciate you for coming.
• 1:48:55
  On right there you go. But how?
• 1:48:59
  About how about you speak? Give me an urah like.
• 1:49:02
  Not like a bark. Like a bark.
• 1:49:03
  Hurrah, hurrah. Come on, give a little heart
• 1:49:06
  little heart, little. Heart little.
• 1:49:09
  Heart little. Heart, there you go.
• 1:49:12
  It sounds like he's getting. Raped in the ass there.
• 1:49:13
  That's perfect. Thank.
• 1:49:18
  You, Jackson, we really appreciate you.
• 1:49:20
  Jackson Campbell, ladies and gentlemen, fantastic, great
• 1:49:24
  person. I like the kid.
• 1:49:25
  I really, really do. And let's, let's try to find him
• 1:49:29
  an agent. I I think it would be great.
• 1:49:31
  And you know what, those are the kind of guys you want on your
• 1:49:35
  team, guys that are going to work their asses off to make the
• 1:49:37
  team, guys that will go out there as a good teammate and,
• 1:49:41
  and stand behind you. And he's doing it in the Navy.
• 1:49:45
  So he understands discipline, he understands leadership.
• 1:49:48
  So I, I like that kid. I really do.
• 1:49:49
  I wish him nothing but the best. And like I said, Niffen, if he
• 1:49:52
  needs it, needs to talk to some agencies.
• 1:49:55
  I, I know a couple of agents that would definitely be
• 1:49:57
  interested in talking to him moving forward into the NFL.
• 1:50:00
  So very, very nice kid. Wish him nothing but the best
• 1:50:04
  NFL whip around though. Whip, whip, whip.
• 1:50:10
  Around smell my ass glory hole. Butt plug, I want her melons.
• 1:50:17
  There's the whip around graphic. Let's get.
• 1:50:19
  It going here we go boy, few things in football news we got
• 1:50:23
  to talk about before we get going with the rest of it so we
• 1:50:26
  were joking about a little bit because.
• 1:50:27
  It was. Such a weird story.
• 1:50:29
  Something was wrong. Well apparently something's
• 1:50:31
  really wrong. Poop in the cooah.
• 1:50:33
  Arguably the second best wide receiver in the NFL last year
• 1:50:37
  after JSN. Some people would say he had an
• 1:50:39
  even better year than JSN. He is now apparently in rehab.
• 1:50:43
  He was sued the other day. We reported on it for biting a
• 1:50:49
  woman and making anti-Semitic remarks.
• 1:50:52
  Obviously that's just the tip of the iceberg.
• 1:50:55
  Something's going real wrong with the one of the best players
• 1:50:58
  in the NFLI. Would love to find out.
• 1:51:02
  What is going on in his head? I mean, the things that we're
• 1:51:04
  hearing about him, I heard that when he was at the Super Bowl,
• 1:51:08
  he was roaming around. He he looked like he was on
• 1:51:10
  speed or something. And then he was interviewing
• 1:51:13
  with people and he couldn't even answer the questions.
• 1:51:16
  He went to the the award show. He was dancing to the music.
• 1:51:20
  He couldn't sit still in his in his seat.
• 1:51:22
  I love him. I think he's a great player.
• 1:51:24
  He was a fourth round talent. McVeigh has turned him into a
• 1:51:28
  superstar. You can argue he's a top.
• 1:51:31
  He's the top wide receiver, the second best wide receiver and
• 1:51:33
  all of the NFL. It's it's crazy to hear the
• 1:51:36
  story that he's biting women and biting people and doing all
• 1:51:39
  these crazy things on and off off the field.
• 1:51:42
  But I'm sure there's an explanation behind it.
• 1:51:46
  I I don't know if he's bipolar. There's, there could be a lot of
• 1:51:49
  things going on in this man's head.
• 1:51:51
  I still think he has an opportunity to be a star in this
• 1:51:54
  NFL, in the NFL and, and, and again, he's all the fact that
• 1:51:59
  he's trying to find help and go for help is definitely finding a
• 1:52:02
  way to balance himself out. So I, I like the story.
• 1:52:05
  It's just very weird. All these stories that you're
• 1:52:07
  hearing about Puka Nakua. Yeah, what he becomes is going
• 1:52:10
  to be another. Question, but you're right, it's
• 1:52:11
  definitely a good thing that he actually he took initiative and
• 1:52:15
  went to. Go get help right?
• 1:52:16
  Away and not let it get spiraling out of control like
• 1:52:18
  we've seen in other cases. Now, obviously he's young, so
• 1:52:21
  he's not going to maybe have the build up with the injuries that
• 1:52:23
  he's had because he's been relatively healthy in his
• 1:52:25
  career. But again, it's still something
• 1:52:27
  that is concerning. He hasn't had many maturity
• 1:52:29
  issues. I think there was a big reason
• 1:52:30
  that the Rams drafted him. They knew that he could be a guy
• 1:52:33
  that is a good leader, good mature guy.
• 1:52:35
  And I think this is a good example of him taking
• 1:52:36
  initiative. Hopefully he can get that help.
• 1:52:39
  Yeah, I mean, I think well one. Not to sound insensitive to the
• 1:52:43
  situation but I do think it's APR move especially with him
• 1:52:45
  getting sued and having to report to court.
• 1:52:48
  But I do think it's good that he is taking he is being proactive
• 1:52:52
  and going to seek help. Like you said earlier.
• 1:52:54
  I don't really understand well what the issue is technically.
• 1:52:58
  So I guess without all those details, I don't necessarily
• 1:53:01
  know if it means anything to go to rehab and whatnot, especially
• 1:53:06
  if you're not having certain issues.
• 1:53:07
  But I think the I think the professional sports need to take
• 1:53:11
  a look into, you know, developing coaches that can
• 1:53:14
  actually communicate with players and help these players
• 1:53:17
  off the field. I think they do a good job of
• 1:53:19
  charity cases and marketing of mental health and stuff like
• 1:53:22
  that. But you see a lot of reoccurring
• 1:53:25
  situations with athletes and outside or off the field or off
• 1:53:28
  the court and whatnot and there is just nobody there.
• 1:53:32
  They can't have that trust or whatever.
• 1:53:33
  And I know we ain't talked about it, whatever, but there's some
• 1:53:36
  situations going on the NBA and this with the NFL.
• 1:53:39
  So I think there needs to be an emphasis on having some coaches
• 1:53:43
  that, you know, players can actually trust to be able to
• 1:53:46
  speak to and before these type of situations happen.
• 1:53:49
  All right, let's get into the next.
• 1:53:51
  Story here. This one's a little surprising.
• 1:53:54
  I didn't expect him to clearly go for a backup job, but her
• 1:53:58
  cousin signed with the Las Vegas Raiders.
• 1:54:02
  I mean. Let's face it, they're.
• 1:54:05
  Taken. Fernando Mendoza, Kirk has made.
• 1:54:08
  How much money do you think he's made in his NFL career?
• 1:54:10
  I have it written down. Over 200.
• 1:54:12
  Yeah, over 200. Yeah.
• 1:54:14
  Easy, keep going. 300. 3. 21 before.
• 1:54:19
  This latest contract with the Raiders on paper, now this is.
• 1:54:24
  Hugh, you're going to love this. This is an NFL 172 million five
• 1:54:29
  years. But when I say that it's really
• 1:54:32
  a one year, twenty $20 million guaranteed agreement for the
• 1:54:37
  2026 season, which the Raiders will only have to pay $1.3
• 1:54:41
  million, the veteran minimum of because the Falcons are still
• 1:54:46
  responsible for the rest of that base salary for the 2026 season.
• 1:54:51
  Is it he get paid by another team too?
• 1:54:53
  Yeah. The Falcons.
• 1:54:54
  The Falcons are paying just. It just the Falcons and the
• 1:54:56
  Raiders. According to this, yes.
• 1:54:58
  So I thought I raised like 8-9 and then.
• 1:55:01
  That one, there's two void. Years in this deal.
• 1:55:04
  So he's going to be getting paid through 2030 just for this one
• 1:55:08
  year. I don't know, handful of bridge
• 1:55:11
  games, I guess, before Mendoza takes over.
• 1:55:14
  I love it that I absolutely. Love it?
• 1:55:16
  Here's the thing, they need a veteran quarterback to come in
• 1:55:19
  and help Fernando Mendoza figure out things.
• 1:55:22
  You know, the NFL is not easy to figure out like it is in
• 1:55:25
  college. It's much faster.
• 1:55:26
  You need that veteran leader. I think Kirk Cousins is a good
• 1:55:30
  guy. He's going to come in there.
• 1:55:32
  He's going to teach them the book and, and teach them the
• 1:55:34
  ropes. And, and here's the thing, Kirk
• 1:55:36
  Cousins has been a successful quarterback in the NFL.
• 1:55:39
  Fernando Mendozo will probably be called in probably Week 6 or
• 1:55:43
  Week 7, but you still have a competent quarterback to be in
• 1:55:46
  there. He's going to be able to call
• 1:55:48
  signs when Fernando Mendoza comes in.
• 1:55:50
  He's going to be able to talk to him in an earpiece when he goes
• 1:55:53
  in. So I think this is a great move
• 1:55:55
  for the Raiders. And also, you still have an
• 1:55:59
  organization that has a rookie coach.
• 1:56:01
  Clint Kubiak is a rookie coach. He's never been a head coach in
• 1:56:05
  the NFL. Now you have a competent
• 1:56:07
  quarterback that can help him, you know, teach these guys his
• 1:56:10
  offense. And I think Kirk Cousins is a
• 1:56:12
  guy that understands that kind of offense.
• 1:56:15
  So he's been on so many different teams and so many
• 1:56:18
  motion calls and and stuff like that over the years when he
• 1:56:22
  played for the the Washington Commanders, when he went over
• 1:56:25
  the Minnesota and then he's jumped ship to Atlanta.
• 1:56:28
  This guy has been a journeyman, but a successful journeyman.
• 1:56:31
  So I think this is a slam dunk from it for Fernando Mendoza.
• 1:56:35
  And this is a Tom Brady move. Say whatever you want.
• 1:56:38
  Tom Brady was the one one that wanted this.
• 1:56:41
  It's an absolute Tom Brady move. Yeah.
• 1:56:43
  It's kind of the opposite of what you saw with the.
• 1:56:45
  Falcons, too, where the Falcons blindsided him by drafting
• 1:56:47
  panics. And now you're seeing a
• 1:56:48
  situation where I think he knows that they're going to draft
• 1:56:51
  Mendoza, so they're going to be comfortable and he's still going
• 1:56:53
  to get the money from the Falcons and later on with the
• 1:56:55
  Raiders if they do get into those void years.
• 1:56:57
  But yeah, it's definitely a good move.
• 1:56:58
  I think that he'll be more comfortable and especially like
• 1:57:01
  you said, if Tom Brady makes him comfortable over there.
• 1:57:04
  Oh, no doubt about it. Tom Brady going to.
• 1:57:05
  Make him comfortable. That's what he do.
• 1:57:06
  He get people paid and make them comfortable.
• 1:57:08
  You know, especially with his, you know, what's the call?
• 1:57:10
  What's the coach called? Arrow.
• 1:57:12
  Clint Kubiak. Well, what's?
• 1:57:14
  His position? Called his title ass Liquor.
• 1:57:21
  Yeah. But.
• 1:57:22
  Yeah, I think Kirk cousin. Yeah, I forgot the date, but I
• 1:57:25
  couldn't think of it. But yeah, I think Kirk cousin
• 1:57:27
  is, is, is a great mentor, you know, game manager, quarterback,
• 1:57:32
  especially this part of his career.
• 1:57:35
  So, and I think it's a good, it's a good deal to have him
• 1:57:38
  around there and coaching the young bug up on how to manage
• 1:57:41
  the game and be successful in the league.
• 1:57:43
  And also Brock Bowers. Brock Bowers is.
• 1:57:45
  Still there you have a competent quarterback that can get him the
• 1:57:48
  ball. Expect Brock Bowers if he could
• 1:57:50
  stay healthy this year to have an all pro year.
• 1:57:53
  The he's sensational. There's not many guys that can
• 1:57:55
  do it as well as Brock does it. And now you have a competent guy
• 1:57:58
  that can get him, get him free and get him in the open field.
• 1:58:01
  So I I think I think this is a great move.
• 1:58:03
  This is absolutely a Tom Brady move to me.
• 1:58:06
  It's just like you want. To show the rookie who you're
• 1:58:09
  going to make that your franchise.
• 1:58:11
  This is how you call a huddle. This is how an NFL quarterback
• 1:58:16
  who's legit does it. This is how he sets protections,
• 1:58:19
  right? This is this is what these guys
• 1:58:21
  need to see. They need to know what it's like
• 1:58:23
  at this level, how quick you have to do it.
• 1:58:25
  If they're going to show him that, if they're going to pay 20
• 1:58:28
  million to Kirk Cousins, who just seems to just keep
• 1:58:31
  collecting them checks, man, this is going to put them up to
• 1:58:33
  about 350 million. You know what you you know what
• 1:58:36
  you learned about. This.
• 1:58:37
  This is probably this is this is Kirk Cousins last hurrah because
• 1:58:42
  anybody that goes to the Raiders completely disappears.
• 1:58:45
  So nobody wanted to take the Raiders.
• 1:58:47
  Would you take 20 million? Yeah, I'd take 20 million.
• 1:58:49
  Disappear. No doubt about it.
• 1:58:51
  I'd take $100,000 if. The Raiders wanted me to be
• 1:58:54
  their quarterback of, of course, 20 billion.
• 1:58:56
  All I got to do is mentor. I got to tell him.
• 1:58:58
  Stuff, Yeah, you go get fat and just sit on the side.
• 1:59:01
  I met Fernando Mendoza. He.
• 1:59:03
  Is a special kid. I, I think a lot of people are
• 1:59:06
  going to like him over there in Vegas and he's going to be a fan
• 1:59:09
  favorite very quick, not just in Vegas throughout the NFL, he's
• 1:59:12
  very likable. It's all right.
• 1:59:14
  The Jets didn't. Need the first pick.
• 1:59:16
  Gino's taking him to the promised land anyway.
• 1:59:18
  Thank you. So.
• 1:59:20
  Let's get into the the. Real thing that probably should
• 1:59:24
  be talked about more. There's going to be a referee
• 1:59:27
  strike this year. This is what it looks like.
• 1:59:30
  And now the players association is sounding the bells, which
• 1:59:33
  they rightfully should. That's player safety is going to
• 1:59:36
  be an issue without real referee.
• 1:59:38
  So there we talked about it the other day in a sports minute
• 1:59:41
  that there's going to be, you know, training of scab officials
• 1:59:45
  from college. But we remember what happened in
• 1:59:48
  2012 with Aaron Rodgers and the fail Mary.
• 1:59:53
  We all remember how that ended and how gamblers when it wasn't
• 1:59:57
  legal, now that gambling is legal, how that's going to add a
• 2:00:00
  wrinkle to all of this. So NFLPA Executive director JC
• 2:00:05
  Treader stated that trained professional officials are non
• 2:00:08
  negotiable for player safety. He argues that only experienced
• 2:00:13
  reps can manage the game in real time.
• 2:00:15
  The risk of inexperience. Unions warn that less
• 2:00:18
  inexperienced crews will make more bad calls, obviously
• 2:00:22
  leading to more injuries. And this nonsense that the
• 2:00:25
  league is saying that they can remote officiate from New York
• 2:00:30
  makes no sense to the players association.
• 2:00:33
  This is good for football, ladies and.
• 2:00:35
  Gentlemen, why? Because it'll become football
• 2:00:38
  again. No more of this two hand touch
• 2:00:40
  and this this grasshopper game of crap.
• 2:00:43
  We're going to see real hits. No, no calls and this is going
• 2:00:47
  to open up the game. We're going to see real
• 2:00:48
  football, NFL football again. This is great.
• 2:00:52
  Keep them out. I want to see the old timers
• 2:00:55
  working out with the players pumping some iron.
• 2:00:57
  I want to see these, these people that don't know how to
• 2:01:00
  make make a call, doesn't understand the game of football
• 2:01:02
  to let the game play. That's what I want to see.
• 2:01:05
  I want to see quarterbacks get hit.
• 2:01:07
  Not because you put a pinky on him and he's heard like Patrick
• 2:01:10
  Mahomes. He hit me.
• 2:01:12
  He hit me. I love this Q. 2012 was.
• 2:01:16
  Your first player in the league. Was there a difference with the
• 2:01:19
  replacement refs on the refs at the time?
• 2:01:20
  Yeah, No, I don't think so. I don't think it's going.
• 2:01:22
  To be a player safety issue, I think the issue is going to come
• 2:01:25
  in whether it was a fumble, whether it was a catch, like
• 2:01:28
  those little nuances in the game where it's like they not going
• 2:01:32
  to be able to make good judgment on whether or not a catch or
• 2:01:35
  fumble or things of that nature. The player safety part, I doubt
• 2:01:37
  it. You know, once they get hit one
• 2:01:39
  good time, like they they're going to throw the flag,
• 2:01:41
  somebody from across the field to throw the flag and say this
• 2:01:45
  hit was too violent. The league is going to be, you
• 2:01:47
  know, making an emphasis about, you know, the contact.
• 2:01:51
  I would say, yeah. Now the safety part ain't going
• 2:01:52
  to be an issue, but those little nuances is going to be a serious
• 2:01:55
  issue because they're not going to be making the right calls
• 2:01:58
  when it comes to intercepts and catches and all they have this
• 2:02:01
  stuff. All right, let's get to.
• 2:02:03
  The next story here, which would be freaking Daily Wives.
• 2:02:08
  As I mean Qi. Don't know if you've gotten to
• 2:02:11
  hear about Errol's fandom of his second favorite team, the
• 2:02:14
  Eagles, which is the Eagles. It's his. 2nd.
• 2:02:18
  Favorite team? That's true.
• 2:02:19
  So you know he has a second favorite team.
• 2:02:22
  It may be without their top receiver going forwards because
• 2:02:27
  you know that they're Wheeling and dealing in the draft.
• 2:02:30
  You know he's going to. But the bigger story is Mike
• 2:02:33
  Vrabel, who, if you remember when A.J.
• 2:02:36
  Brown was traded out from under him, gave one of the most
• 2:02:39
  memorable I hate my GM type of press conferences while biting
• 2:02:43
  his tongue ever. And now he doesn't have that GM.
• 2:02:46
  And now he's in New England and needs a receiver like A.J.
• 2:02:48
  Brown. And he seems to be very
• 2:02:50
  available. A lot of dot connecting.
• 2:02:52
  And then Vrabel didn't exactly shoot it down when they asked
• 2:02:57
  him about it. He just did one of these.
• 2:02:59
  We're going to do everything we can to strengthen our team
• 2:03:01
  instead of saying no, which means yes, but he can't say yes.
• 2:03:06
  Let me tell you guys something. Even if Agent Brown goes to the
• 2:03:09
  Patriots, A.J. Brown is reaching the age of
• 2:03:13
  3031. He's at the tail end of his
• 2:03:15
  career. He's not the elite player he
• 2:03:17
  once was when he was playing for Tennessee or even the first
• 2:03:21
  couple of years with the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 2:03:23
  And, and here's another thing, as much as the, the, the
• 2:03:27
  Patriots are looking for a number one, is he a number one
• 2:03:30
  or more likely a #2 now he's just another one of those
• 2:03:34
  Patriot wide receivers that they have #2 and #3 guys now I like
• 2:03:39
  A.J. Brown.
• 2:03:40
  I think he's still a competent wide receiver, but the Eagles
• 2:03:45
  have come out multiple times and said he is not being traded.
• 2:03:48
  He's an Eagle until otherwise. Now it could be they could move
• 2:03:52
  them. If the Patriots are willing to
• 2:03:54
  give the Eagles a third or fourth round draft pick, they
• 2:03:56
  could move them. I don't think it's going to
• 2:03:58
  happen. Why?
• 2:04:00
  While it's become a rumor, and a rumor that's reaching high
• 2:04:05
  heights, as a matter of fact, Vegas is predicting that he is a
• 2:04:08
  Patriot before the season starts.
• 2:04:10
  I don't believe it. And even if it is, he's not a
• 2:04:13
  number one. Who cares?
• 2:04:15
  Yeah, the Broncos and the Bills I think were other two.
• 2:04:17
  Other teams that were interested at the time, but they may trade
• 2:04:19
  for wide receivers already. And then the Chargers and the
• 2:04:21
  Raiders were also in the mix too, apparently.
• 2:04:23
  And the Chargers have a lot of cap space.
• 2:04:25
  The Patriots Chargers make sense, Yeah.
• 2:04:28
  Like I was I was thinking. The Patriots, I think they've
• 2:04:31
  made other receivers, veteran receivers in that scheme, not
• 2:04:35
  work very well. Now, Elliot Wolf is going to try
• 2:04:37
  to be stingy against Howie Roseman, and I think that's why
• 2:04:39
  you're going to see a cross if this does stall longer.
• 2:04:42
  I definitely think if it does happen, it'll stall into July or
• 2:04:44
  something like that. But again, it's going to allow
• 2:04:46
  the way for other teams. Is he a one or two speedy?
• 2:04:49
  Low end one I think I. Don't think he's a 1.
• 2:04:52
  He hasn't been a one. In two years, yeah.
• 2:04:54
  No, I think that. I think the rumor is true.
• 2:04:58
  I think he's going to be a patriot.
• 2:04:59
  You know, I think it's lining up for that.
• 2:05:01
  And I think, I mean, they just went to the Super Bowl, they got
• 2:05:03
  blown out. They had a #1 receiver.
• 2:05:05
  That might be a different game. You never know, you know, based
• 2:05:09
  off, you know, what we saw. But I don't think that I do like
• 2:05:12
  the Chargers book as well. But A.J.
• 2:05:15
  Brown still number one, I think last year gave him an extra year
• 2:05:19
  on his on his on his NFL tenure. Smith was the number one.
• 2:05:24
  Smith was the number one on that team last year.
• 2:05:27
  It wasn't even an argument. Yes, he was talent wise and
• 2:05:31
  where the ball was going because.
• 2:05:32
  All the the back and forth between AJ Jalen and A.J.
• 2:05:36
  Brown can't stay healthy. And I like AJ, he can't stay
• 2:05:39
  healthy and, and again, AJ Brown's lost the step.
• 2:05:42
  You watched it last year, especially in the second-half.
• 2:05:44
  He's not even a tail end number one.
• 2:05:46
  And if he goes to the Patriots, to me, he's a competent #2 and
• 2:05:50
  that's what what the Patriots do.
• 2:05:52
  They bring in these number twos and they don't have that guy
• 2:05:54
  that can open up the field or make open, open up spots where
• 2:05:58
  that Drake may can get him the ball.
• 2:06:00
  What do they create? Separation.
• 2:06:02
  I don't think A.J. Brown could do that anymore.
• 2:06:05
  Don't you rather? Have him than.
• 2:06:07
  Stefan Diggs, though, he's the same player.
• 2:06:10
  He's the same. Player Stefan?
• 2:06:11
  Not even close. It's not even coast a John way
• 2:06:14
  better receiving this Stefan days.
• 2:06:16
  And the thing about AJ is you don't need the speed that blow
• 2:06:19
  you off the top to be a number one wide receiver.
• 2:06:23
  He's still got hands. He still can get open, he still
• 2:06:25
  can get off the press. So why is you?
• 2:06:28
  Why are you considering him not being no more because he can't
• 2:06:30
  fly by you? Well, I'm looking right now at
• 2:06:32
  both. Guys, and I'm looking at their
• 2:06:34
  numbers, I disagree with you guys.
• 2:06:36
  I think they're very alike right now.
• 2:06:38
  Stefan Diggs All right, so A.J. Brown last year had a 1003
• 2:06:43
  yards, 7 touchdowns, 12.9 and average Stefan Diggs 1013 four
• 2:06:49
  touchdowns and 11.9. They're the same player.
• 2:06:51
  They're practically the same player, but that's where.
• 2:06:54
  I But that's Stefan Diggs versus controversy.
• 2:06:59
  What are you talking about? They're the same amount of
• 2:07:01
  couches. 85 to Stefan Diggs to 78 A.J.
• 2:07:04
  Brown. They're the same type of player,
• 2:07:06
  but Wandel Robinson has more. Is in yards than Justin
• 2:07:11
  Jefferson last year. They are to see a better player
• 2:07:13
  than Justin Jefferson. There are two Jalen Hurts is.
• 2:07:17
  Is to me, he's an old worldwide quarterback and so is Drake May.
• 2:07:21
  They're they're both competent quarterbacks.
• 2:07:23
  They have almost identical numbers to me.
• 2:07:26
  Stefan Dix was the number two and the same thing as AJ Proud.
• 2:07:29
  They're the same player. Go look at the numbers.
• 2:07:33
  They're identical. I disagree with you guys a #2 I
• 2:07:37
  just like like you want that physical.
• 2:07:38
  Player that A.J. Brown is, you know what I mean?
• 2:07:41
  Like he he offers more in the run game than a Stefan digs.
• 2:07:45
  He's kind of a more versatile player around the field.
• 2:07:47
  We'll see. I just think you'd rather have
• 2:07:48
  him. But we got one more left and
• 2:07:50
  we're getting close to the draft.
• 2:07:52
  Errol, obviously we've talked about it.
• 2:07:53
  We're going to be on location for the draft.
• 2:07:55
  It's going to be a good one. We want to talk a little bit
• 2:07:57
  about some draft rumors heading into it.
• 2:08:00
  Obviously, everyone knows Mendoza's pretty locked in to be
• 2:08:03
  #1 but we've heard a couple of rumors about this quarterback,
• 2:08:08
  Ty Simpson, and a lot of people are tying into The Jets at this
• 2:08:13
  16th pick, Errol. It seems to be growing steam.
• 2:08:16
  We also hear, you know, Arizona and the Rams.
• 2:08:21
  If it's not first round, maybe the Rams end up with him, but
• 2:08:26
  the Cardinals are another team very.
• 2:08:27
  I'm hearing the Rams are going to try to.
• 2:08:30
  Trade up in the first round to get him.
• 2:08:32
  That's what I'm hearing. They really like him.
• 2:08:35
  He interviewed so very well with 15 teams.
• 2:08:38
  I've heard 15 teams come out and say they like this kid.
• 2:08:42
  His footwork is great. He's got great arm talent.
• 2:08:45
  If he sits the bench and rides the bench for one year and comes
• 2:08:48
  in next year, he's going to be a great quarterback in this
• 2:08:50
  league. And, and yes, I, I, I think The
• 2:08:52
  Jets are absolutely interested in Ty Simpson because they're
• 2:08:56
  going to play Geno Smith this year.
• 2:08:58
  You're not going to see Ty Simpson this year.
• 2:09:00
  He'll sit, he'll ride the bench, he'll learn the offense under
• 2:09:03
  Frank Wright and he'll be ready next year if the if need be.
• 2:09:07
  I, I think if The Jets are sitting there, I don't think
• 2:09:09
  he's going to be there at 16. I think he goes before 16.
• 2:09:12
  I've heard Pittsburgh's very interested in him.
• 2:09:15
  I heard Pittsburgh might move up to get him and, and Mike
• 2:09:18
  McCarthy is going to transition and, and give him a chance to,
• 2:09:21
  to learn that offense. Mike McCarthy, he knows how to
• 2:09:23
  develop quarterbacks. I've heard the Rams, I've heard
• 2:09:25
  Miami, I've heard Arizona, my trade down and still get him.
• 2:09:29
  So I don't think he'll be there at 16 for The Jets.
• 2:09:32
  But if he is, I, I definitely, if I'm The Jets, I'm taking a
• 2:09:36
  family. I'm I'm sitting and let him ride
• 2:09:38
  the bench next year and, and let him learn the offense.
• 2:09:41
  Yeah, you got to think the Rams are in a good spot.
• 2:09:43
  At 13 for getting that kind of thing when they've really filled
• 2:09:46
  out with the Mcduffie trade, they filled out the biggest
• 2:09:48
  weakness on their team. They there are the first round
• 2:09:50
  pick trade in that deal, but you have a 13th pick and you got to
• 2:09:53
  think maybe Miami might be the other threat, but you never know
• 2:09:55
  what direction they're going in this offseason.
• 2:09:57
  He goes to the Rams, he's going to be an.
• 2:09:58
  Absolute stunt. I was going to say, I thought
• 2:10:01
  Dart was going to. The Rams last year.
• 2:10:03
  For that same reason, the Sean McVay has to realize the clock
• 2:10:07
  could be ticking with Stafford with all his back injuries.
• 2:10:10
  Yeah, I think the Rams would be a good pick for him.
• 2:10:12
  I think The Jets are interesting because they've been listening
• 2:10:14
  to the show and Arrow had been all over him, so they decided to
• 2:10:18
  put him in the algorithm as far as The Jets going, but not I, I
• 2:10:22
  went back because here's the question, though.
• 2:10:24
  Here's the question was Aaron. Glenn.
• 2:10:25
  A week during that part, I think somebody gave him the.
• 2:10:30
  The memo they sent them the clip and I think it went it went
• 2:10:33
  forth from there. But yeah, I've been watching the
• 2:10:35
  kid and you know, because arrow been all over him and it looks
• 2:10:38
  like his his stock draft has has went up.
• 2:10:40
  So I think rounds will be a good pick for him.
• 2:10:43
  I don't see The Jets getting it. I just think The Jets is going
• 2:10:45
  to do what The Jets do and messed that up.
• 2:10:47
  But yeah, kudos to him and he he, his stock had definitely
• 2:10:51
  went up over the last couple weeks or something.
• 2:10:53
  Another interesting name. Around the draft that we're
• 2:10:55
  going to be talking about for the first hour, it looks like is
• 2:10:58
  Jeremiah Love, who's increasingly look like a top
• 2:11:02
  five lock is what I keep hearing with the most likely spot that
• 2:11:07
  he does not get past is our old friends Brian Dabel and Robert
• 2:11:13
  Sala over in Tennessee at 4:00. What do you think about running
• 2:11:18
  back going in the top five? I met Jeremiah Love.
• 2:11:21
  He's such. A nice guy, kind collective guy.
• 2:11:24
  He could have attacked the media when when some people were
• 2:11:28
  thinking after what Notre Dame and and the Notre Dame not
• 2:11:31
  making the tournament when they deserve to be there.
• 2:11:34
  Now we saw obviously what Miami did and Miami took their spot.
• 2:11:38
  But it's an incredible, he's an incredible person.
• 2:11:41
  He's an incredible talent. I think, as crazy as it may
• 2:11:45
  sound, I think he's better than the number one wide of running
• 2:11:48
  back that was drafted last year and he went to the Raiders.
• 2:11:51
  I'm sorry, Ashanti. Ashanti.
• 2:11:54
  Better than. I.
• 2:11:57
  Think he's better than Genti? Yeah, I think he's.
• 2:11:59
  He's all around talent. He's better than Genti.
• 2:12:00
  He's sensational. He's.
• 2:12:02
  Big he's. Strong.
• 2:12:03
  He. Can run, he can go North and
• 2:12:05
  South, he can catch east and West.
• 2:12:07
  I like him and I, I'll tell you this, he'd be a great fit for
• 2:12:10
  the Giants too, because I don't know what Cam's catapoo is
• 2:12:13
  anymore after that injury. He could be an absolute stud
• 2:12:16
  with the New York Giants after losing Saquon Barkley.
• 2:12:19
  He's a power back that can do all the things you want on the
• 2:12:22
  in the backfield, catching the ball and and and making people
• 2:12:25
  miss. And by the way, John Harbaugh
• 2:12:27
  loves those running backs. Yeah, it definitely seems like a
• 2:12:31
  Titans type of move. Though, because you've seen
• 2:12:33
  this, how UNK eventually they've operated this offseason already.
• 2:12:35
  They've drafted Chris Johnson in the first round.
• 2:12:37
  They've always emphasized their game since they moved from
• 2:12:40
  Tennessee, really on the running backs, they haven't developed
• 2:12:42
  passing games very well. Will you be surprised that the
• 2:12:44
  Giants get them? Yes.
• 2:12:45
  I would be. I think the Titans are more
• 2:12:46
  likely. I It feels like a very Tennessee
• 2:12:48
  Titans. The Titans need offensive line.
• 2:12:51
  I don't think they should do it. I I.
• 2:12:53
  Agree with you they. Need off at the line they they
• 2:12:55
  could definitely use anything else on the defensive side of
• 2:12:57
  the ball. They should I I would trade back
• 2:12:59
  and get a receiver. There's a lot of options for
• 2:13:00
  that. If Robert Solo was smart, which
• 2:13:02
  we know we we know he's not because he's a deer in the
• 2:13:05
  headlights. Bambi, OK, if he's smart, he
• 2:13:08
  gets the kid from Miami, the offensive lineman from Miami.
• 2:13:10
  That's that's what I would do and solidify that offensive line
• 2:13:14
  that you have so many weaknesses in.
• 2:13:17
  You have a a quarterback that is in right now going into a season
• 2:13:21
  with no offensive line help, any protection you need that guy
• 2:13:25
  that's going to protect him. Yeah.
• 2:13:26
  And I'm just saying it's a move that I seem.
• 2:13:28
  Like the Titans would make. I agree to that.
• 2:13:29
  It's the wrong move. They do it.
• 2:13:30
  They gave Tony Pollard a big contract a couple years ago and
• 2:13:33
  he was pretty good last year. Top 12 running back probably
• 2:13:35
  last year. He's not the biggest problem
• 2:13:37
  with their team. Yeah, I can see Tennessee doing
• 2:13:39
  the same. Thing, Speedy, I'm with you on
• 2:13:41
  that. I think they'll make a dumbest
• 2:13:43
  decision like that and get a running back as well, just
• 2:13:45
  because he's the most valuable pick on the board.
• 2:13:48
  But yeah, for a running back, top five in the league, you
• 2:13:53
  probably going to be the laughing stock.
• 2:13:55
  No matter how good the running back is, he would have to be up.
• 2:13:58
  He had to be, what, 2000? Reggie Bush or something?
• 2:14:01
  Pretty much all right And guys. That.
• 2:14:03
  Is the whip around? There you go, Ty.
• 2:14:07
  Simpson Jet probably not. I, I wish he, I like him.
• 2:14:11
  I watched his footwork. I watched every bit of footage
• 2:14:15
  because I, I've been hearing about Ty Simpson.
• 2:14:16
  So I want to see what The Jets are looking at and what they see
• 2:14:19
  and what everybody else sees. I wasn't in the meeting when it
• 2:14:23
  came to the interview, but everything that I've heard about
• 2:14:26
  him is his footwork is some of the best footwork we've seen a
• 2:14:29
  quarterback have in about 5 years in the draft.
• 2:14:32
  So they say he's got great footwork, but I just think
• 2:14:35
  there's a going to be a team out out there that's going to trade
• 2:14:37
  up and get him over The Jets because they know The Jets are
• 2:14:40
  very interested in him. Unless The Jets want to give up
• 2:14:42
  one of those first to move up to get Ty Simpson, I don't think
• 2:14:45
  The Jets are going to get him. I think he's going to go
• 2:14:47
  somewhere else. This has been a big story,
• 2:14:49
  ladies and gentlemen. Jaden Ivy cut after
• 2:14:52
  controversial comments The Chicago Bulls place guard Jaden
• 2:14:56
  Ivy on waivers Monday after social media post featuring many
• 2:15:01
  controversial comments. The Bulls last week also
• 2:15:04
  mentioned that they were shutting Ivy down for the rest
• 2:15:08
  of the season. Regardless of these comments, he
• 2:15:11
  has been out since February 11th with a knee injury.
• 2:15:15
  Ivy took shots at the Bulls organization for cutting him for
• 2:15:19
  conduct detrimental to the team, saying he did nothing wrong to
• 2:15:25
  his teammates or coaches. Bill Don Billy Donovan mentioned
• 2:15:29
  how he was hoping Ivy would be a key part of the Bulls future
• 2:15:34
  when they traded for him last year, but believed his behavior
• 2:15:39
  was unprofessional. Reports say that Ivy was acting
• 2:15:43
  like a preacher in the locker room, trying to promote his
• 2:15:46
  values, and that didn't sit well with some of his teammates.
• 2:15:51
  Patriots running back Trayvon Henderson were among many NFL
• 2:15:55
  players that defended Ivy, saying he should be allowed to
• 2:15:59
  express what he believes in. Ivy also told TMZ that the NBA
• 2:16:04
  is inconsistent in their decision making, referencing
• 2:16:08
  referencing Anthony Edwards using similar language in 2022
• 2:16:14
  and the league doing nothing about it.
• 2:16:16
  Lamella Bowl, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving or other NBA
• 2:16:20
  players that have made controversial comments and
• 2:16:24
  didn't get any discipline from the league.
• 2:16:28
  There's a lot to talk about with this story, but I I wouldn't
• 2:16:32
  look at it for what he said. I would look at it in many other
• 2:16:37
  ways. Players say controversial things
• 2:16:40
  all the time. Some get fined, some get
• 2:16:43
  ignored, ignored, some get caught.
• 2:16:46
  So what is the standard in the NBA?
• 2:16:49
  Is there a rule? Book or.
• 2:16:51
  Is that just whatever becomes a headline?
• 2:16:55
  That is the problem right now with this story.
• 2:16:58
  You look at talent. I don't know what Jaden Ivy is.
• 2:17:02
  I remember him as a top five, top six draft pick in the NBA.
• 2:17:06
  He was a lottery pick. A lot of people wanted the
• 2:17:08
  Knicks to get him, move up to get him, but Detroit drafted him
• 2:17:14
  and he just didn't develop over there with Cunningham and and
• 2:17:17
  some of the talent that they have over there.
• 2:17:19
  But you mention and, and what what I was just reading, Anthony
• 2:17:23
  Edwards has said a lot of interesting things over the last
• 2:17:26
  couple of years and he's a superstar in the league.
• 2:17:28
  He averages 28 points, 29 points.
• 2:17:31
  The NBA is not going to find him.
• 2:17:33
  The NBA is not going to suspend them.
• 2:17:35
  The NBA or the Timberwolves are not going to drop him because
• 2:17:38
  he's a superstar. They tolerate what superstars
• 2:17:43
  are compared to 2nd tier players like a Jaden Ivey should
• 2:17:49
  players. Be punished.
• 2:17:51
  For their personal beliefs, that's the question.
• 2:17:55
  That's the main question here. Now, here's the thing.
• 2:18:00
  Colin Kaepernick, when he said some of the things that he said
• 2:18:05
  on the football field, a lot of people didn't like it.
• 2:18:09
  Him needing to the national anthem, a lot of people didn't
• 2:18:12
  like disrespecting it. On a platform.
• 2:18:16
  That wasn't his, was not right. It was not.
• 2:18:19
  Proper. Does that mean that Colin and
• 2:18:22
  Colin Kaepernick came out and he spoke about it and he said his
• 2:18:25
  piece to it? He said he wasn't trying to
• 2:18:28
  disrespect the flag or disrespect anybody.
• 2:18:30
  It was his belief that that was his way of trying to express
• 2:18:34
  himself. Colin.
• 2:18:37
  Kaepernick never played a football game again.
• 2:18:39
  After that, Why? Because the NFL wanted to make a
• 2:18:43
  statement, wanted to make a point.
• 2:18:46
  Did Reid get a chance to play again?
• 2:18:48
  Eric Reid, I think his name was, who was doing it too.
• 2:18:51
  Absolutely. Think you got another job with
• 2:18:54
  the San Francisco 49ers. Your beliefs are your beliefs.
• 2:18:58
  You do not use it on a platform that shouldn't be used on that
• 2:19:02
  platform. LeBron James for years has used
• 2:19:05
  political views on the NBA platform to spread his beliefs.
• 2:19:10
  Was it right? No.
• 2:19:12
  But when you have a superstar doing it and a superstar getting
• 2:19:16
  away with it, that's the problem.
• 2:19:17
  Who's the blame for this? I'm going to blame the NBA.
• 2:19:21
  I'm going to blame the NBA because they have not come out.
• 2:19:24
  They have not shut down these guys like Kyrie Irving, who had
• 2:19:28
  the audacity to take his views. And everybody knows what
• 2:19:32
  happened a couple of years ago when he was playing for
• 2:19:34
  Brooklyn. I don't have to mention it.
• 2:19:36
  And then you had and Adam Silver sit down with him, have a
• 2:19:40
  conversation with this man and said and apologize to the
• 2:19:44
  Brooklyn fans and then get traded.
• 2:19:47
  And then go out there when he is being introduced as a Dalek
• 2:19:50
  Dallas Maverick, taking back what he said and saying that he
• 2:19:54
  has a belief and he has his own opinion and he should be allowed
• 2:19:57
  to use it on the NBA platform. And the problem with the NBA,
• 2:20:02
  I've gone on many, many times and why a lot of people can't
• 2:20:06
  stand the way the NBA is getting run is the players are running
• 2:20:09
  the league. It's not the owners.
• 2:20:12
  It's not the. Commissioner, it's not anybody
• 2:20:15
  but the players. And when you have superstar
• 2:20:18
  players like the LJA, LeBron James Association, Kevin.
• 2:20:22
  Durant with his Twitter feeds Kawhi Leonard on some of the.
• 2:20:28
  Things, the outlandish things he has said over the last couple
• 2:20:31
  years. Paul George.
• 2:20:34
  These are superstar players. That the NBA allow to speak up
• 2:20:40
  with their thoughts that are unlikely to be liked by many
• 2:20:45
  people and. It's a problem.
• 2:20:49
  It's a. Problem and it.
• 2:20:50
  And here's the thing. Jaden Ivey.
• 2:20:53
  Might not be a nice. Guy, I don't know him
• 2:20:54
  personally, I have no idea who he is and there are NFL.
• 2:20:59
  Players that are speaking. Up for him and that's great.
• 2:21:01
  He's got people looking out for his best needs.
• 2:21:05
  But. Here's the thing.
• 2:21:07
  The Chicago Bulls, and I blame this on the Chicago Bulls.
• 2:21:13
  If they had a problem with what he said, why didn't they bring?
• 2:21:18
  Him to the side and have a. Conversation offset instead of
• 2:21:21
  just completely releasing him and dropping him and and that is
• 2:21:24
  the problem right now because as soon as he mentioned something
• 2:21:27
  as soon as he said something it was he's gone now I don't know
• 2:21:32
  what he was in the locker room if players liked him.
• 2:21:35
  I heard that the Detroit Pistons really liked him A lot of the
• 2:21:37
  players over there Cunningham is still a good friend of his he's
• 2:21:41
  got friends over there Duran's a good friend of his he's got good
• 2:21:44
  friends over there in Detroit. So he obviously was a likable
• 2:21:48
  person. Is it going to be tolerated that
• 2:21:52
  because of a star now we all know what?
• 2:21:56
  What was Porter's brother? 'S name Jonte Jonte Porter bet
• 2:22:00
  on basketball, we all. Know the story there.
• 2:22:06
  They. Suspended him for life.
• 2:22:09
  Now, if it was anybody else, any superstar like a Giannis or
• 2:22:13
  LeBron James or any of the superstars that are scoring 2528
• 2:22:18
  points a game, the face of the NBA, the basketball, basketball
• 2:22:22
  league, NBA Association, whatever you want to call it,
• 2:22:26
  they probably get a smack. On the hand.
• 2:22:30
  They'd probably get a smack. On their hands?
• 2:22:31
  Nobody. Cares, you know, it's LeBron
• 2:22:33
  James, you know who knows what's going on with the Chauncey
• 2:22:36
  Phillips? There were there were some
• 2:22:37
  comments and and some information that maybe LeBron
• 2:22:40
  did know. There's no information to say
• 2:22:42
  that LeBron James was involved with the betting scheme, but.
• 2:22:47
  LeBron James is. Best friends with Jones.
• 2:22:50
  He's cool with Chauncey Phillips and his name was brought up.
• 2:22:54
  All that stuff that was going on was with the Lakers.
• 2:22:57
  How do we know that LeBron James didn't know anything about it?
• 2:23:00
  We don't because the NBA, even if he did know something about
• 2:23:04
  it or he was involved with it, he is the LJA, he's the LeBron
• 2:23:07
  James Association. They're going to brush it under
• 2:23:09
  the rug. The Otani thing with baseball,
• 2:23:12
  do we remember that? Otani's been a part of two
• 2:23:15
  schemes, Not one, but two schemes.
• 2:23:18
  And what did baseball do? They brushed it under the rug
• 2:23:22
  because he's a superstar. He's an international phenom.
• 2:23:25
  Jaden Ivey is not an international phenom.
• 2:23:28
  He's not a superstar player. He's a going to be considered a
• 2:23:31
  journeyman. He's never going to play in the
• 2:23:32
  NBA again. I could.
• 2:23:33
  You could bet my bottom dollar on that.
• 2:23:35
  I don't see an NBA team taking responsibility because of what
• 2:23:38
  Chicago did. And I blame Chicago because
• 2:23:40
  Chicago could have done something about this.
• 2:23:43
  They could have somehow sat down with this kid and say, you know,
• 2:23:48
  you shouldn't have said that. Maybe you should speak to the
• 2:23:51
  media and apologize what you said and and we can handle this
• 2:23:54
  the right way instead of just throwing them to the wolves.
• 2:23:57
  People make mistakes. People say things that they
• 2:24:00
  shouldn't say. There are a lot of people out
• 2:24:03
  there that have said things. I have said things in the past
• 2:24:06
  that I regret saying. I have not on the show, but I've
• 2:24:10
  said some ridiculous things and maybe some ridiculous things
• 2:24:14
  that people don't like on the show because everybody thinks
• 2:24:16
  I'm an idiot. But people make mistakes.
• 2:24:20
  People say. Things that they don't fully
• 2:24:23
  mean. I again, I don't know Jaden Ivy
• 2:24:25
  personally. I don't know him, but the locker
• 2:24:30
  room culture, the ideology, ideology of the locker room.
• 2:24:38
  The talent. That is self-proclaimed over
• 2:24:42
  there in the locker room. People that say oh, he's our
• 2:24:45
  superstar player. Jordan I Jaden Ivy is not, he's
• 2:24:48
  not Michael Jordan. He's not Scottie Pippen.
• 2:24:51
  That is the reason if there's no control in your locker room, if
• 2:24:55
  your coach cannot control the players on what they say and I
• 2:24:59
  go I'm going to take shots at Billy Donovan, who's a Long
• 2:25:02
  Island Navy if. Personally.
• 2:25:06
  Billy Donovan didn't like what he has done in the locker room,
• 2:25:10
  how he rolls as a teammate. You wonder if Billy Donovan
• 2:25:16
  really has his players ears. You follow.
• 2:25:20
  Your coach, right? We talked about Danny Hurley and
• 2:25:23
  how he's such a great leader and the players want to play for
• 2:25:26
  him. People, how many Bill Belichick
• 2:25:28
  fans have we had on the, you know, players that have are big
• 2:25:32
  Bill Belichick fans? Everybody thinks he's an ass.
• 2:25:34
  Nobody likes him. But all the players that have
• 2:25:37
  been on the show said, oh, he's funny.
• 2:25:38
  He's a lot funnier than you think.
• 2:25:40
  He's a great leader. You want to play hard for him,
• 2:25:43
  but nobody would know that. Because he doesn't speak.
• 2:25:45
  To the media and he can't stand people, but we won't know that
• 2:25:50
  maybe there's something that is not being controlled in that
• 2:25:55
  locker room and is This is why. These players.
• 2:25:58
  Think that they can say and do whatever they want.
• 2:26:02
  I think this is a big problem. The NBA needs to take control of
• 2:26:05
  it. They're I know the CBA is going
• 2:26:08
  to be up in a in a year or two. I think it's in 2028 when the
• 2:26:11
  CBA is up. Something needs to be done with
• 2:26:14
  the players union. They need to speak to these
• 2:26:17
  players. The NBA, especially ownership,
• 2:26:20
  needs to take back control of this league.
• 2:26:25
  I think about it. These.
• 2:26:26
  Players could just get traded if they even if there's a no trade
• 2:26:30
  clause, they could get traded if the players, if they don't have
• 2:26:34
  a no trade clause and they don't have to play for that team, they
• 2:26:38
  can tell they're going to tell the ownership or they can tell
• 2:26:41
  the organization. You, yeah, you traded for me,
• 2:26:43
  but I don't want to play for this team.
• 2:26:45
  So either you trade me to the team I want or I'm not playing
• 2:26:48
  this year. And.
• 2:26:50
  That's the problem with the NBA. It's guaranteed contract.
• 2:26:53
  This isn't the NFL. You don't just get a signing
• 2:26:56
  bonus. If you're getting a $250 million
• 2:26:59
  contract, that's what you're getting.
• 2:27:02
  You're not going to lose out on any of that money.
• 2:27:04
  That's guaranteed. Baseball contracts are
• 2:27:06
  guaranteed football contracts or not.
• 2:27:11
  And now you put this kid on waivers.
• 2:27:14
  Nobody's going to take him. Nobody wants him.
• 2:27:17
  He's not a superstar player. He's not even half decent
• 2:27:20
  player. I think the most he's ever
• 2:27:21
  averaged in the season, I think is 12 or 11 points.
• 2:27:25
  He's a a competent. Backup.
• 2:27:27
  Player maybe he's a a Third Point guard or third guard on
• 2:27:31
  your roster. You have a divided.
• 2:27:34
  Locker room that. Doesn't like him?
• 2:27:39
  I, I, I just This has. Something to do with the
• 2:27:41
  ownership. This has something to do with
• 2:27:43
  team the NBA controlling what is going on in these locker rooms.
• 2:27:47
  What is being spoken about now? You can't tell somebody.
• 2:27:51
  What they want to believe. But in the locker room, this
• 2:27:53
  cannot be talked about on our platform.
• 2:27:57
  This cannot be spoken about when I.
• 2:28:01
  Am when the media is talking to. You, you cannot bring out your
• 2:28:04
  own opinion about what you think about anything.
• 2:28:07
  Sexuality, politically, religion, nothing should be
• 2:28:11
  brought up. I don't care what you're
• 2:28:13
  reading. I don't care what you're
• 2:28:14
  studying. I don't care what you think if
• 2:28:16
  you think the earth is flat. Kyrie Irving, I don't want to
• 2:28:20
  know. What you think your?
• 2:28:22
  Geography. This isn't a school.
• 2:28:25
  This is an economic class. This is.
• 2:28:29
  Basketball, you're getting paid. Millions and millions of
• 2:28:32
  dollars. I don't want to know your
• 2:28:33
  opinion. It's an opinionated situation.
• 2:28:37
  What's going on in the world. I don't want to know.
• 2:28:40
  There's war going on. This is bad.
• 2:28:43
  For basketball. Because what it is, it lays a
• 2:28:46
  blind eye of what's really the problem in the NBA, and that is
• 2:28:51
  Adam Silver doesn't know how to control the players.
• 2:28:56
  And the NBA. Does not know how to push
• 2:29:00
  forward on dropping the hammer on organizations, on what is
• 2:29:04
  going on and what is being spoken about in the locker room.
• 2:29:13
  Yeah, it's a tough situation, I think when.
• 2:29:15
  You look at the hypocrisy of the NBA and I think that's where
• 2:29:18
  it's defined as what you were talking about with Anthony
• 2:29:20
  Edwards, Kevin Durant, anti-Semitic comments.
• 2:29:24
  I believe Kyrie Irving was the biggest one with the
• 2:29:26
  anti-Semitic comments. And we saw with the NFL to
• 2:29:29
  Deshawn Jackson made those same kind of things.
• 2:29:31
  And granted he was later in his career, but they brushed that
• 2:29:33
  under the rug as well. Like you can't pick and choose
• 2:29:36
  just all these cases. And I agree with you.
• 2:29:37
  I think it's mostly on the bull. I think somebody like Billy
• 2:29:40
  Donovan is a veteran coach you would think would be a little
• 2:29:42
  more of a mentor for this kind of thing.
• 2:29:43
  But I do think that the the teams now have to get these
• 2:29:48
  types of counseling. Like, you look at all this
• 2:29:50
  mental health stuff that is going to come out for good
• 2:29:53
  things. And something like this is
• 2:29:55
  something that, yeah, he could preach the values all he wants,
• 2:29:58
  but he doesn't. There's a way to do it without
• 2:30:00
  saying it out loud. And there's going to be divided
• 2:30:01
  locker rooms every, every sport has one of those that just get
• 2:30:05
  out of hand fast. And this is a veteran team.
• 2:30:07
  It's a team stuck in mediocrity for a while.
• 2:30:09
  And that's going to happen. But yeah, you're right, Adam
• 2:30:11
  Silver definitely is the more expressive of these
• 2:30:15
  commissioners that are just allowing this kind of thing to
• 2:30:17
  continue on happening. I was so sickened when I heard
• 2:30:19
  of what Kyrie Irving's. I think that was the worst of
• 2:30:21
  the extreme examples. But you're, like you said,
• 2:30:22
  Anthony Edwards. And because he's a superstar,
• 2:30:24
  nobody cares. It's Kyrie Irving.
• 2:30:26
  Yeah, because he's popular. He's one of Lebron's.
• 2:30:28
  Guys, yeah, he's going to get away with it.
• 2:30:30
  Kevin Durant says something. Vicious and illegal or
• 2:30:33
  disrespectful. Nobody cares.
• 2:30:35
  It's Kevin Durant because it's the superstar.
• 2:30:37
  He's the offensive phenom. LeBron James has said so many
• 2:30:41
  things that you you just have you're shaking your head.
• 2:30:44
  He was at award shows and taking shots at politics.
• 2:30:48
  How many times have we watched the Golden Globes or how many
• 2:30:51
  times have we watched the Oscars?
• 2:30:52
  And the first thing these guys are going to do once they come
• 2:30:55
  out and they win an award is they take shots at democracy or
• 2:30:59
  take shots at a president or. I don't want to hear about your
• 2:31:02
  politics. I just want to hear about your
• 2:31:04
  award, why you won. Thank everybody and get the hell
• 2:31:08
  off the stage. I don't want to know your
• 2:31:10
  opinion. Your opinion doesn't mean
• 2:31:12
  anything to me. If you don't like something,
• 2:31:15
  keep it to yourself. Say it on your own platform.
• 2:31:17
  Don't use the NBA, Don't use the Golden Globes, Don't use the
• 2:31:21
  Oscars. I don't want to hear it anymore.
• 2:31:23
  Stop. This is garbage.
• 2:31:25
  This is bad in the media loves it because it's something they
• 2:31:28
  can sell to TMC. It's something that they could
• 2:31:31
  sell to the magazine or the newspapers.
• 2:31:33
  It's pathetic. This story is a little tricky.
• 2:31:36
  I. Think that, you know, I for me
• 2:31:38
  personally, I can attack both sides, one, you know, not
• 2:31:42
  respectfully. I I don't think that the league
• 2:31:46
  being more involved with resolve any of these situations.
• 2:31:49
  I mean, obviously they just released a guy and said he's
• 2:31:52
  detrimental to the team without giving any time or any type of
• 2:31:56
  example or whatnot. So it's just, that's just great
• 2:31:59
  language to be able to say I'm justified for making a decision
• 2:32:02
  that I am. But as far as him and the guy,
• 2:32:04
  the kid man is, and I'm a man of faith.
• 2:32:07
  So the kid is a new believer and and he's battling a knee injury.
• 2:32:10
  And so therefore he's got more time to himself than he than he
• 2:32:14
  needs. And this is kind of what I was
• 2:32:17
  trying to talk to or hint to earlier about having a coach or
• 2:32:20
  having some form of mentor that can be there for the players
• 2:32:24
  that they could trust to be able to express these ideas and these
• 2:32:27
  issues and these thoughts that's going through their head.
• 2:32:29
  So therefore, when it comes down to they don't get online and
• 2:32:32
  they don't go public with these issues.
• 2:32:35
  I think what people are failing to realize in regards to this
• 2:32:39
  situation is it wasn't the fact of his belief or his stance,
• 2:32:42
  which is what got him fired. He literally came out and
• 2:32:45
  attacked the NBA. He attacked the NBA, he attacked
• 2:32:48
  the players. And so when you signed that
• 2:32:50
  contract, you're in agreement that you're going to perform.
• 2:32:54
  However, there is Gray area in that contract that says that you
• 2:32:58
  must represent the organization and the league outside of being
• 2:33:03
  in uniform. And so he signed that and
• 2:33:05
  therefore he gets the repercussions of the decision
• 2:33:08
  that he made. Now, I don't agree with the fact
• 2:33:10
  that he should have been released because I believe that
• 2:33:13
  I'm a big component of what we call double jeopardy, right?
• 2:33:16
  Like you shouldn't get charged twice.
• 2:33:18
  Like so he went public on a platform on his own IG by itself
• 2:33:23
  outside of a Chicago Bull uniform, outside of any NBA
• 2:33:27
  parent, umm, clothing or any type of symbol that represents
• 2:33:32
  the NBA. He was outside of those lines.
• 2:33:34
  So the fact that he is being punished for his basically just
• 2:33:39
  his expression in regards to what he disagree with, with some
• 2:33:42
  of the rules and regulations. I don't think he should be fired
• 2:33:45
  for that. I think that there's needs to
• 2:33:46
  like you said earlier, there needs to be a conversation for
• 2:33:48
  that. But All in all, man, I think
• 2:33:50
  that it's, it's it's a double edged sword when, when we as
• 2:33:54
  players, you know, do things good, you know, you guys,
• 2:33:58
  everybody promotes us and supports us as superheroes.
• 2:34:00
  But the minute that we have a human issue or a human mistake,
• 2:34:04
  now we're deemed as unfit. And I just don't think that's
• 2:34:07
  fair to the players when if you want us to be superheroes, you
• 2:34:10
  we take the Cape off as well. So who, you know, people want to
• 2:34:14
  be engaged and people want to know exactly how I feel or how
• 2:34:17
  athletes feel about this or what's their thoughts on this
• 2:34:20
  and things that nature. Now, I think he went overboard
• 2:34:22
  in regards to what he did. And even as a as a man of faith,
• 2:34:26
  there was nothing religion and faithful about what he said.
• 2:34:30
  It was all anger towards his situation.
• 2:34:33
  So he never even addressed his faith in that in that whole
• 2:34:36
  segment. So overall, man, I think that
• 2:34:39
  the kid just dealing with some mental health issues in regards
• 2:34:42
  to being, you know, pick that high, having a knee issue, not
• 2:34:46
  being able to get on the court and not just becoming a new
• 2:34:49
  believer. And then he's just expressed
• 2:34:50
  itself in a way that was detrimental to not only the the
• 2:34:54
  team, but the organization and to itself as well.
• 2:34:56
  Like he shouldn't have been angry online spewing the hate
• 2:34:59
  that he was doing. Even if you don't agree with
• 2:35:01
  something, that wasn't the time to do that.
• 2:35:03
  You should have had a private conversation with somebody to be
• 2:35:06
  able to air those thoughts out. And then that way if you want
• 2:35:09
  to. And that's another thing far as
• 2:35:10
  the players, if you want to be expressive about what you
• 2:35:14
  believe in and, and you want to combat an organization that
• 2:35:18
  supports something that you don't agree with, have a
• 2:35:21
  meeting, have those conversations, go to your union,
• 2:35:25
  go to your union Rep, have those meetings and create something
• 2:35:29
  that can pull, that can be an outlet for other players to
• 2:35:33
  participate in to resolve the issue.
• 2:35:36
  And that's the thing that a lot of players miss.
• 2:35:38
  They think that they can go out and because they got a following
• 2:35:41
  of the fans that they can just go out and say what they're
• 2:35:43
  going to say and it's going to get across.
• 2:35:45
  The message is now dull because you went on a public platform
• 2:35:50
  and spew your anger towards the situation versus doing the
• 2:35:54
  correct measures and having a meeting with your union Rep and
• 2:35:57
  being able to have that conversation with the league and
• 2:35:59
  your team about the things that you disagree with to resolve the
• 2:36:02
  issue versus just saying that you hate the issue.
• 2:36:05
  This isn't just about 1. Player.
• 2:36:07
  This is about where the line is. Can players speak freely?
• 2:36:12
  Do teams hold? On do teams have the?
• 2:36:16
  Right to protect culture and who decides when a comic is crossing
• 2:36:22
  the line? Because today.
• 2:36:24
  It's one guy. Tomorrow it could be anyone.
• 2:36:28
  Think about that, It could be anyone.
• 2:36:31
  And whether you agree with him or not, this sets the present.
• 2:36:35
  So my hard earned platform here is to speak about what the NBA.
• 2:36:44
  Is as. An organization and and and the
• 2:36:47
  way. I look at the NBA.
• 2:36:49
  Is is that they don't know how to control a multi billion
• 2:36:53
  dollar industry. These players are running a
• 2:36:56
  billion dollar industry and all these owners care about is how
• 2:36:59
  much money you going to make for me?
• 2:37:01
  How big are you? How much your social media is
• 2:37:04
  going to draw people to want to come and check out some of the
• 2:37:07
  the jerseys that you're selling, some of the hats that you're
• 2:37:10
  selling, some of the name brands that you're selling.
• 2:37:13
  There you go. Kyrie Irving.
• 2:37:14
  They only care about money. Adam Silver only cares about
• 2:37:18
  money. Mucho dinero.
• 2:37:21
  He doesn't care about what who you hurt or his culture or what
• 2:37:25
  somebody says about his culture or how many grandparents died
• 2:37:29
  in, you know, in the Holocaust. He don't care about any of that.
• 2:37:32
  All he cares about is money. That's all he cares about money.
• 2:37:36
  What are you going to bring in for me and how much you're going
• 2:37:39
  to bring for me lately? And that, I think is the problem
• 2:37:42
  right now in professional sports.
• 2:37:44
  I think that these guys use platforms.
• 2:37:46
  Social media has been the devil. Michael Jordan.
• 2:37:50
  Michael Jordan has come out and said many, many times that
• 2:37:54
  everybody buys my sneaker. It don't matter if you're a
• 2:37:57
  Republican, a Democrat. I'm not going to go out there
• 2:38:00
  and speak about something I don't know anything about or
• 2:38:02
  have no reason to speak about now.
• 2:38:05
  Why? Why?
• 2:38:06
  Because he's. Trying to sell a.
• 2:38:08
  Brand No, it's money that's. His bottom line?
• 2:38:11
  He's trying to, but everybody, everybody is.
• 2:38:14
  With the money. The owners want the money, the
• 2:38:15
  players want the all right, everybody's in, all right, so
• 2:38:18
  all right, so you say they're, they're all about the.
• 2:38:20
  Money. So if they're all about the
• 2:38:22
  money, why are they letting the players run amok?
• 2:38:25
  Why they're letting run? Why are they?
• 2:38:26
  Letting the players run amok. What's running them up?
• 2:38:29
  What do you? They're offered in more than
• 2:38:31
  they're going out there on their social.
• 2:38:33
  Medias and platforms to take shots at, whatever they believe
• 2:38:37
  in. That has nothing to do with the
• 2:38:38
  league. Now.
• 2:38:40
  There has to be some kind of rule, some something in your
• 2:38:43
  contracts that if you're going to go out there and state
• 2:38:45
  something you're going to, you're going to lose money,
• 2:38:47
  you're going to lose your contract if you're going to go
• 2:38:49
  out there and put yourself in harm's way.
• 2:38:51
  But the NBA won't do that. Why?
• 2:38:53
  Because you have guys like LeBron James, guys like Kevin
• 2:38:56
  Durant that speak freely and say whatever they want and agree
• 2:39:00
  with any of these guys like Kyrie Irving coming out and
• 2:39:03
  saying things that he has said in the past that has affected a
• 2:39:06
  group of people. Could do you think, could you
• 2:39:08
  imagine how much Brooklyn lost because of Kyrie Irving?
• 2:39:12
  There were so many people that sold their tickets, sold their
• 2:39:16
  company seats because of Kyrie Irving, because of his big
• 2:39:20
  mouth. But Kyrie doesn't care because
• 2:39:22
  he's still making his money. He's still playing in Dallas.
• 2:39:25
  He still pay for a champ, play for a championship.
• 2:39:27
  And and right now Brooklyn's in the gutter because the one
• 2:39:31
  superstar they kept is the one guy that threw them to the
• 2:39:34
  wolves. And that, to me, is a problem.
• 2:39:39
  The NFL The NFL, but but. Why is it a problem when these
• 2:39:43
  these same guys that these same individuals that you're talking
• 2:39:46
  about, when they get on the social media, they have hundreds
• 2:39:49
  and thousands of people calling them this and calling them that
• 2:39:52
  and calling like going at them and really calling them names
• 2:39:55
  and things that nature. Are we going to ignore that part
• 2:39:58
  or we're just going to just acknowledge the one side when
• 2:40:00
  the one side get offended? So because if you think that
• 2:40:03
  Jaden Ivan didn't receive hate mail when he said what he said
• 2:40:06
  or Kyrie Irving didn't get nails to the cross when he did what he
• 2:40:09
  did, like regardless about how much money he made, you know how
• 2:40:13
  much money he lost in the midst of that as well.
• 2:40:15
  Let me ask you a question if you're going.
• 2:40:17
  To mention or speak about anything that's going on in the
• 2:40:20
  world that has nothing to do with the NBA and you're going to
• 2:40:23
  go out there on a platform and do it.
• 2:40:25
  You should get hate mail. You should.
• 2:40:27
  You're making millions and millions of dollars.
• 2:40:29
  I'm never going to see that kind of money.
• 2:40:30
  Does it matter? Yes, it does matter.
• 2:40:32
  Why does the money? Matter you keep making.
• 2:40:34
  A lot of money. Why do you have to play
• 2:40:37
  basketball? Wait till you wait till you
• 2:40:40
  retire then. Come out and say whatever you
• 2:40:43
  feel. I could care less when you're
• 2:40:45
  playing for an organization, you're playing for a name,
• 2:40:47
  you're playing for a city. Why are you going to go out
• 2:40:50
  there and throw the city onto the bus and open your big mouth
• 2:40:52
  and say and throw whatever your beliefs that you believe in?
• 2:40:55
  There are a lot of things I believe in.
• 2:40:57
  You're not going to see me go out on this platform and throw
• 2:40:59
  it out there and say, well this is what I believe, so go F
• 2:41:02
  yourself. No personal choice.
• 2:41:05
  Doesn't mean that you. Don't have the right to do that.
• 2:41:07
  What I'm saying is the league don't have a person that says,
• 2:41:10
  hey, don't, don't promote this. You send the league $100 million
• 2:41:14
  to promote something, guess what they're going to do?
• 2:41:16
  They're going to promote it. There's no boundaries when it
• 2:41:18
  comes to nobody. But besides with the athletes,
• 2:41:20
  and that's the problem that I have, we have the right to of
• 2:41:24
  freedom of speech. You get to say what you want to.
• 2:41:26
  There's also consequences that come with that.
• 2:41:28
  However, I didn't sign up to be a person, a person that speaks
• 2:41:34
  well in the media. I signed up to be a football
• 2:41:36
  player. Kyrie Irving signed up to be a
• 2:41:38
  basketball player. You are paying me based off the
• 2:41:42
  talent and gift I have in the sport.
• 2:41:44
  You're not paying me in regards to what I say in my beliefs.
• 2:41:48
  And that's the problem because the league can believe anything
• 2:41:50
  and they can promote anything. But the athletes have to shut up
• 2:41:53
  and just sit to the side and do whatever sport they do, all
• 2:41:56
  because they make a lot of money.
• 2:41:57
  But the owners can do it. They can say what they want to
• 2:41:59
  say. Everybody can do what they want
• 2:42:01
  to do besides the athlete. And that's the problem that I
• 2:42:03
  have with the whole situation, because nobody else is getting
• 2:42:06
  held accountable to the same standard that we are now.
• 2:42:10
  If you're signing a contract with an organization and the
• 2:42:14
  city is paying your contract, they are, they're going to the
• 2:42:17
  games, they're paying for the, the, the TV deals and all that
• 2:42:21
  other stuff. They're buying your jerseys and
• 2:42:23
  that's what you're getting paid for.
• 2:42:25
  You're signed, you sign your name, your, your, your
• 2:42:29
  livelihood for that, that contract.
• 2:42:32
  And when you go out there and you open your mouth and you say
• 2:42:36
  things that maybe is derogatory to the city or derogatory to the
• 2:42:41
  culture over there, that's a problem.
• 2:42:45
  That is a problem. Yes, you have a freedom of
• 2:42:47
  speech. Yes, there, there's no doubt
• 2:42:49
  about it. You definitely have freedom of
• 2:42:51
  speech. But there are things that you
• 2:42:53
  say or you don't say when it comes to a culture.
• 2:42:56
  What's going on in the world right now that is going to
• 2:42:59
  commit and cause problems not only for a league, but for the
• 2:43:04
  world as a whole? And I'm going to tell you this
• 2:43:07
  right now, I'm not. I don't know Jaden Ivy at all.
• 2:43:12
  I do. I think he should have another
• 2:43:13
  job in the NBA. Yes, I think he should get
• 2:43:16
  another chance. But he needs to go out there and
• 2:43:19
  apologize for what he said. He should not be going out there
• 2:43:22
  because to me, you're not. When you're on a platform, when
• 2:43:27
  you're looked up, there are kids looking out, looking up to you
• 2:43:30
  and watching you and buying your sneaker and buying your hat and
• 2:43:33
  and buying your jersey. You don't go out there and you
• 2:43:37
  don't use that platform and rub it in the dirt.
• 2:43:41
  And that's what he did because he was mad at something or he
• 2:43:44
  has something going on mentally in his brain.
• 2:43:48
  He did something that not only hurt himself, but distracted an
• 2:43:53
  organization. Distracted.
• 2:43:55
  The Chicago Bulls aren't a good organization.
• 2:43:57
  So right now, they're not winning.
• 2:43:58
  They're not. They're not anything to watch.
• 2:44:00
  So what is it? So a big story like this
• 2:44:03
  completely blindsides what the Chicago Bulls are trying to do
• 2:44:07
  with Billy Donovan because Jaden Ivey said something that he
• 2:44:12
  shouldn't have said on that platform.
• 2:44:15
  If he to me, when you have Derek Jeter, OK, I'm I'm going to say
• 2:44:19
  something about Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter played sports and he
• 2:44:25
  he played at such a high level. He was one of the greatest
• 2:44:27
  shortstops of all time. Not a big fan of Derek Jeter
• 2:44:30
  because even though I'm a Yankee fan, but.
• 2:44:33
  And what did he used to do? There were stories coming out
• 2:44:35
  that he hung out with different women and then after he was done
• 2:44:40
  with them, he would autograph a bunch of stuff and send them on
• 2:44:43
  their way. OK, that's what he did.
• 2:44:45
  He never got married until he was he was done with the the
• 2:44:48
  game of baseball. Did he do the right thing?
• 2:44:51
  Absolutely. Even though it was a story,
• 2:44:53
  there was no truth. That was the right thing.
• 2:44:56
  There was no truth. To it there was.
• 2:44:58
  Nothing that came out that even though it was a story, it was no
• 2:45:01
  truth to it and nothing came out.
• 2:45:02
  Even to this day, Derek Jeter Whitney, he smiles every time
• 2:45:06
  everybody brings that up to him. David Ortiz brought it up on the
• 2:45:08
  national televised thing on Fox and he smiled at it.
• 2:45:11
  He smirked at it. That doesn't mean that it was
• 2:45:13
  true, but you see when you go out there and you throw yourself
• 2:45:16
  under the bus in the public eye, you're always going to be looked
• 2:45:20
  at as a bad guy. You don't do things on the
• 2:45:24
  public end. When you're on a platform, a
• 2:45:26
  multi billion dollar platform and you're doing things that
• 2:45:30
  it's going to hurt your product, hurt your brand, hurt anything
• 2:45:33
  that you were trying to build. All the good things that you
• 2:45:35
  were building is gone now because he opened his mouth and
• 2:45:38
  all he had to do 24 hours later is apologize.
• 2:45:41
  I'm sorry. I said that I was wrong.
• 2:45:43
  I misjudged the way I use this platform.
• 2:45:46
  I, I, my heart goes out to everybody that I heard.
• 2:45:49
  He didn't want to do that. He had no reason to do that.
• 2:45:54
  But why? Should he do that?
• 2:45:55
  They said if he believed that what he said is true, why should
• 2:45:58
  he believe that? Why should he?
• 2:46:00
  Why should he go back? Because it's not right Again, he
• 2:46:03
  get paid to play basketball. That's what the contract is for
• 2:46:07
  basketball. All right.
• 2:46:09
  So just as well as a brand may step away because of something
• 2:46:13
  you said, there's also brands that will support you.
• 2:46:16
  We never. We never.
• 2:46:17
  Look at the other side. There's going to be superheroes
• 2:46:19
  and there's going to be villains in every part of life.
• 2:46:22
  You're not going to always be a superhero.
• 2:46:24
  And what I'm saying is there's also fans who support what he
• 2:46:27
  said. There's people coming to his
• 2:46:29
  defense. So he he's grown an audience
• 2:46:33
  based off what he said. Now he's also lonesome people.
• 2:46:36
  Now he can grow an. Now he can.
• 2:46:39
  Grow an audience outside. Of the NBA, because he's not
• 2:46:42
  going to get, but he got his 10 million.
• 2:46:44
  He's still got paid. Oh, God, he got $10 million.
• 2:46:47
  And he'll never play an NBA game again because that's not a
• 2:46:49
  guarantee. But yes, because.
• 2:46:51
  There's other you can guarantee you can guarantee it their
• 2:46:55
  Christian. Owner.
• 2:46:57
  Owner is Christian so that he may do it, but you don't
• 2:47:01
  guarantee. You never know.
• 2:47:04
  Colin Kaepernick still kept getting invited to combines and
• 2:47:07
  teams workouts and stuff like that, so you never know.
• 2:47:11
  Interesting. It's an.
• 2:47:12
  Interesting argument. And again, if you're, if you're
• 2:47:15
  an NBA fan and you, you see things like this and, and this
• 2:47:19
  has been going on. And I'm not saying it doesn't go
• 2:47:22
  in on other games and other sports.
• 2:47:24
  It does. But no more than the NBA, the
• 2:47:28
  NBA, and it's been a big problem here in the NBA is that these
• 2:47:32
  guys think they can use the NBA in the platform to say and do
• 2:47:36
  whatever they want at the NFL. Rodger Goodell has dropped
• 2:47:41
  hammers on players to keep their mouth shut.
• 2:47:44
  We've seen Gary Bettman after what we heard after the the
• 2:47:48
  whole kneeling, Gary Bettman made sure he sees anybody from
• 2:47:52
  doing anything on his platform. And, and I think that the NBA
• 2:47:56
  has no control over their players.
• 2:47:59
  None. And I, I think it's a big
• 2:48:00
  problem, a problem. And that's why Adam Silver
• 2:48:02
  should have became the CEO or CFO for Disney and get the hell
• 2:48:06
  out of here and bring somebody in that actually knows what
• 2:48:08
  they're doing. The guy is 1 ugly SOB is 1 ugly
• 2:48:12
  person. That's a person.
• 2:48:13
  Oh, he's. So ugly man is your.
• 2:48:15
  Platform to attack, he is. So ugly.
• 2:48:18
  Looking at him makes me sick to my stomach.
• 2:48:21
  This is what I'm talking about. I'm just saying.
• 2:48:23
  Adam said come. Out and say something about.
• 2:48:25
  Earl. He's rogue because he has.
• 2:48:27
  I could care less. Well, I.
• 2:48:29
  Could care less the same thing about me.
• 2:48:32
  That's what I'm telling you. I could care less.
• 2:48:34
  He doesn't have to listen in the.
• 2:48:35
  Comments. That's he doesn't have to like.
• 2:48:37
  Me and then I go online. And I say something to you.
• 2:48:39
  And you bit mad like Oh well give it the rent.
• 2:48:42
  Oh well, I I could care less. What Adam Silver thinks about
• 2:48:45
  me, that that's exactly what he looks like right there.
• 2:48:47
  That little crap. That little What are they?
• 2:48:50
  What was he from Harry Potter? What did they call Dobby?
• 2:48:52
  Dobby. That's what he is.
• 2:48:54
  It looks like Dobby Dobby. An ugly mother, yeah.
• 2:48:58
  Anyways, all right, ladies and gentlemen, we call this actually
• 2:49:03
  we got to go to a sportsman. I forgot about that.
• 2:49:04
  We got to go to a sportsman. We got let's parlay King of the
• 2:49:07
  Hill and dial it up when we come back is.
• 2:49:12
  A new. York Sports.
• 2:49:13
  Loudmouth sportsman. All right, guys.
• 2:49:18
  Aaron Fishman here. With your sportsman, a couple
• 2:49:21
  more stories and then the scores all right.
• 2:49:25
  After being arrested for a DUI after crashing his car in
• 2:49:28
  Florida over the weekend, legendary golfer Tiger Woods
• 2:49:31
  announced that he is stepping away from golf in order to seek
• 2:49:35
  treatment and focus on health. The embattled golfer told
• 2:49:39
  everybody on social media on Tuesday.
• 2:49:41
  Woods added. I know and understand the
• 2:49:43
  seriousness of the situation I find myself in today.
• 2:49:46
  I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and
• 2:49:49
  focus on my health. This is necessary in order for
• 2:49:52
  me to prioritize my well-being and work towards lasting
• 2:49:56
  recovery. I'm committed to taking the time
• 2:49:59
  needed to return to a healthier, stronger, and more focused
• 2:50:02
  place, both personally and professionally.
• 2:50:04
  I appreciate your understanding and support and ask for privacy
• 2:50:08
  for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.
• 2:50:12
  Woods PLED not guilty to charges of misdemeanor DUI with property
• 2:50:16
  damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
• 2:50:19
  According to court documents, Woods, who is not planning on
• 2:50:22
  playing in this year's Masters event as he struggles with
• 2:50:25
  injuries and apparently a lot more, will no longer be making
• 2:50:28
  appearances at the event either. In the affidavit, the police
• 2:50:32
  officer said that two hydrocodone pills were found in
• 2:50:35
  Woods pocket at the time of the arrest, on top of his struggling
• 2:50:38
  to physically complete the field sobriety test.
• 2:50:41
  Just into ESPN that tonight, Woods also was caught on the
• 2:50:44
  police cameras telling officers I was just talking to the
• 2:50:48
  president, which apparently was true and it also didn't help him
• 2:50:53
  get out of the ticket or charge. And music.
• 2:50:57
  Fans, get ready. For a unique type of tour from
• 2:51:00
  hip hop sensation J. Cole this year.
• 2:51:03
  Following Cole's February release of his new album The
• 2:51:05
  Fall Off, Cole announced on Wednesday that he has signed a
• 2:51:09
  contract to play with the Nanjing Monkey Kings of the
• 2:51:12
  Chinese Basketball Association. Cole had played basketball with
• 2:51:16
  the Rwanda Patriots in 2021 in the Basketball Africa League and
• 2:51:20
  with the Scarborough Shooting Stars in the Canadian Elite
• 2:51:23
  Basketball League in 2022. The move to the CBA is a step up
• 2:51:27
  from those previous stops. Cole played high school
• 2:51:30
  basketball North Carolina but is of course best known as a music
• 2:51:32
  superstar with Grammys, 6 platinum albums, and tons of
• 2:51:36
  production credits. Unfortunately for fans wanting a
• 2:51:39
  tour out of J. Cole, it appears you're going to
• 2:51:40
  have to wait or go to Nanjing to watch the man put up shots for
• 2:51:44
  now until his tour kicks off at the end of July.

  Thank you to Jackson Campbell and it's been a great one.
• 2:53:21
  And now we call this. Let's parlay
• 2:53:38
  all right, ladies and. Gentlemen, we're waiting for
• 2:53:40
  Wes. He might pop in, he might not.
• 2:53:42
  But we do have Reno. Johnny, ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:53:45
  it's very simple how we do this. He's going to give you his top
• 2:53:49
  three picks of the week and then he's going to give you his
• 2:53:53
  parlay. That is his extra pick that can
• 2:53:56
  set you up on a stroke. A long one or short one, more
• 2:54:00
  than likely a short one for Speedy.
• 2:54:02
  Are you guys ready? All right, Reno, give us your
• 2:54:06
  first pick of the night. What's up guys?
• 2:54:09
  I'm actually going to give you my.
• 2:54:10
  Favorite play? I'm a big UConn fan these last
• 2:54:15
  few years. I don't think there's another
• 2:54:17
  coach in college basketball that's at the same time hard to
• 2:54:22
  root for and hard to root against.
• 2:54:25
  Hurley's a fucking madman. I'm he is an absolute.
• 2:54:28
  First off, should have been Tito.
• 2:54:30
  Love the energy. The way they came back in that
• 2:54:33
  game. They got dogs on that team.
• 2:54:36
  I think they also knew they lost that game.
• 2:54:38
  They were going to practice tonight.
• 2:54:39
  They didn't give a shit. The season was over that.
• 2:54:42
  All that being said, so much money's been coming.
• 2:54:45
  Are you and and seemingly so. I mean.
• 2:54:48
  Deservingly so. They they, they're going to get
• 2:54:50
  the public action. People are now kind of on this
• 2:54:53
  team. They think that out after Duke,
• 2:54:56
  this is a team to beat. Maybe Michigan on the other
• 2:54:58
  side. I don't think people get a lot
• 2:55:00
  of stock to Arizona. Gimme Illinois to win this.
• 2:55:03
  Game I. Think a lot of money's come in
• 2:55:06
  and the line has actually moved Illinois, so the favorite by
• 2:55:10
  about 1 1/2 and they're getting a ton of money coming in on
• 2:55:13
  UConn. Surprise a lot of people to
• 2:55:14
  start the year they're in the. Final Four.
• 2:55:17
  They want a top two seed in their conference and and their
• 2:55:20
  bracket. I think this team is kind of
• 2:55:22
  getting overlooked. I think Illinois now can compete
• 2:55:25
  with the size that Yukon has. They can compete with the
• 2:55:29
  shooting that you I think that are better shooters from the
• 2:55:32
  perimeter than Yukon and they're going to compete with the pace.
• 2:55:35
  I think this is a team that right now had a miracle shot
• 2:55:39
  that is going to be talked about for years.
• 2:55:42
  How do you bounce and come back in this game clear eyed?
• 2:55:45
  I just don't know. I will say I did listen to
• 2:55:48
  Hurley speak. I think it was yesterday or
• 2:55:51
  early this morning. I will say my money's going to
• 2:55:55
  be on them on on Illinois to win this game.
• 2:55:57
  But after listening to Hurley, he almost made me call the book
• 2:56:00
  and and and switch my back. It it's hard to bet against and
• 2:56:04
  I understand it, but for me, I think Illinois is undervalued in
• 2:56:10
  this spot. Give me Illinois to win the
• 2:56:12
  game. Get to the big game.
• 2:56:14
  Championship. Game on Monday and that's where
• 2:56:17
  my money's going to be at. I will be on the money line.
• 2:56:19
  I think it's like minus 12025, something like that.
• 2:56:22
  But I'm going to take them to win the game and God help me,
• 2:56:26
  that's where I'm at. Give me your number two.
• 2:56:29
  Yeah #2 is going to be kind of a is there going to be a Big 10
• 2:56:34
  championship game? Because that's where we're
• 2:56:36
  headed. And.
• 2:56:37
  I look. At the way.
• 2:56:38
  Arizona's I will say Arizona's probably had the stronger
• 2:56:42
  strength of schedule coming into the year.
• 2:56:44
  They, they, you know, they didn't shy against anybody.
• 2:56:45
  They're not conference was tough.
• 2:56:47
  They were one of the last undefeated teams in college
• 2:56:50
  basketball. I, I kind of think that
• 2:56:53
  Michigan's peaking at the right time.
• 2:56:55
  I, I'm not really sure if I'm sold on Arizona in this spot.
• 2:57:00
  I, I just hard to bet against the way Michigan is playing
• 2:57:05
  basketball. They're they're not really in
• 2:57:07
  close games, even in games that are a little bit within the
• 2:57:10
  number like Michigan is dominating those games.
• 2:57:13
  I think losing in the Big 10 championship was probably the
• 2:57:16
  best thing to happen to them. They got that loss right before
• 2:57:19
  the tournament started and now they've been able to steamroll.
• 2:57:22
  I think this is going to be a close game.
• 2:57:24
  I'm going to take the money line.
• 2:57:25
  I do think it's an all Big 10 championship game, which, you
• 2:57:29
  know, statistically is probably not the smart money.
• 2:57:32
  But this where my money's gonna be at.
• 2:57:34
  That's what I'm advising. You know, y'all do what you want
• 2:57:36
  with your money, but my money's gonna be on Michigan money line,
• 2:57:40
  Illinois money line. All right, give us your number
• 2:57:43
  3. So we're gonna hit a game that's
• 2:57:46
  about to start here in about another total minutes.
• 2:57:51
  And that's gonna be Creighton versus.
• 2:57:52
  Rutgers in and the little known college basketball crown out in
• 2:57:57
  Las Vegas. We actually got.
• 2:57:59
  Action right now. We took the Stanford in the
• 2:58:01
  early games to win that game. So I think we're going to take
• 2:58:04
  the points here. We're going to lay with
• 2:58:05
  Creighton. Their coach is going to they're
• 2:58:08
  going to be under new coach next year.
• 2:58:10
  I just look at what is going to be in this game and I'm more
• 2:58:14
  sold on what Creighton's going to have to offer.
• 2:58:17
  So I think Crane is going to win this game.
• 2:58:20
  They're going to win by the margin.
• 2:58:22
  College basketball crown is really about money because these
• 2:58:25
  guys are both under 500. So it's it's going to be
• 2:58:27
  probably an ugly game, but I'm going to take Crane.
• 2:58:30
  My last game, my last pick, I guess you could say is going to
• 2:58:36
  be a future, but I would take Illinois to win the championship
• 2:58:42
  right now. You're probably going to get.
• 2:58:44
  About 500. Or 600 + 500 or. 600 because I
• 2:58:48
  think. Michigan right now is the
• 2:58:49
  overwhelming favorite and yeah, and Yukons you probably the
• 2:58:54
  second favorite, Arizona third, Illinois probably 4.
• 2:58:56
  So you're going to get the most value with with Illinois to win
• 2:58:58
  the game. So I think that's my final.
• 2:59:01
  Play at about 500 is probably what it is.
• 2:59:04
  Take Illinois to win the championship.
• 2:59:07
  They're in a kind of a spot where nobody's talking about,
• 2:59:10
  everybody's talking about UConn, the incredible shot and and
• 2:59:13
  hurling every time in Arizona, every time I'm Michigan and you
• 2:59:16
  forget about Illinois. That's just kind of 1 all year
• 2:59:18
  and kind of stayed on the radar. So for me, that's the best value
• 2:59:21
  bank for your bug. Give me Illinois to win the
• 2:59:24
  championship here in 2026, which is kind of what I thought.
• 2:59:30
  All right, so it looks like W couldn't make it, but he did
• 2:59:32
  send over some pics, so all final. 4 picks, so in.
• 2:59:35
  The women's final four, he actually had South Carolina.
• 2:59:38
  Covering the plus seven against the undefeated UConn team, he's
• 2:59:42
  got Texas. Covering the -2 1/2 as a
• 2:59:44
  favorite against UCLA and Johnny.
• 2:59:46
  He, you and him agreed too much during football season, he has
• 2:59:49
  to disagree with you both. This time around, he's got UConn
• 2:59:51
  plus 1 1/2 and Arizona on the money line.
• 2:59:55
  Yeah, I will say everybody and their moms got econ, so I prefer
• 3:00:00
  to be the man on an island because Vegas wasn't made with a
• 3:00:04
  bunch. Of winners.
• 3:00:05
  So I like where I'm at with Illinois, but I understand why
• 3:00:08
  people will not be able to pull the trigger.
• 3:00:11
  It's going to be a great freaking ball game.
• 3:00:15
  But yeah, I mean the rest the rest got.
• 3:00:19
  Got. In trouble for the whole UConn
• 3:00:22
  thing. That was surprising to me.
• 3:00:23
  He got pretty much head butted and didn't call.
• 3:00:25
  Technical. Props to him, though, He knew
• 3:00:28
  the moment. He knew the moment you could not
• 3:00:30
  do it. But I did give me a great
• 3:00:32
  freaking ball game. Like, give me Illinois.
• 3:00:36
  Well, we love you and Marino, Johnny, keep up the good work
• 3:00:40
  and we'll talk to you next week. You're you're doing great on.
• 3:00:43
  Money line mania, all you guys, you guys are over. 85% right
• 3:00:46
  now. You guys are kicking ass, you
• 3:00:49
  guys. Hey, Johnny, I know you.
• 3:00:50
  It sounds like you got some stuff going back there, but if
• 3:00:53
  you want, we're playing the NCAA trivia game next segment if you
• 3:00:57
  want to just stick. Around for I don't care AA AA
• 3:01:00
  basketball. I may I may not do well, but
• 3:01:02
  I'll I'll try it. All right, let's let's bring
• 3:01:05
  Johnny in on this one. Let's roll it all.
• 3:01:07
  Right, we call this King of the Hill, and here's the king of
• 3:01:12
  the. Hill this, Bobby, is the
• 3:01:14
  Beltline. You never ever.
• 3:01:16
  Hit below that. Not that kind of king of the
• 3:01:18
  hill, you dumb. This is king of the.
• 3:01:22
  Hill I don't care. Let's not.
• 3:01:26
  All right, guys, it's been a while.
• 3:01:28
  Welcome back to King of the Hill.
• 3:01:30
  This is the everyone's least. Fair trivia game.
• 3:01:33
  Because the king is in charge. And he makes the rules.
• 3:01:36
  The king is King Errol. He's defended his crown many
• 3:01:39
  times. Everyone will compete in three
• 3:01:42
  different rounds in order to get a chance to face off against the
• 3:01:47
  king. Here is the first round of the
• 3:01:48
  world. For all the competitors.
• 3:01:50
  It's the peasant fight. Who are the best coaches in NCAA
• 3:01:57
  Tournament history the way this goes?
• 3:02:01
  I will. Be up here just kind of
• 3:02:03
  orchestrating. We have Johnny Q in Speedy.
• 3:02:06
  The order will start with Speedy.
• 3:02:08
  He will name one, give a reason, then Q will go.
• 3:02:12
  Then Johnny, you'll go for two and we'll snake back the other
• 3:02:15
  way as soon as everyone gets their three.
• 3:02:18
  Done, Errol Will. Decide who will move on to the
• 3:02:22
  joust to face off in a different question for a chance to face
• 3:02:26
  off in the third round to the throne.
• 3:02:28
  Errol, are you guys? Ready to play?
• 3:02:30
  King of the Hill Random. Sexual.
• 3:02:34
  Yes, yes, we're. Ready.
• 3:02:39
  Alright, so again, this is the. Best coaches in NC?
• 3:02:43
  AA history, so speedy start us off well, I'll just steal the
• 3:02:48
  obvious. One first, so I'll take John
• 3:02:50
  Wooden. Obviously the UCLA sixties 70s
• 3:02:52
  dynasty is still being duplicated and failed by many.
• 3:02:56
  Different occasions. This is the pre obviously big
• 3:02:58
  money. I mean, there might have been
• 3:02:59
  money under the table, we'll never know.
• 3:03:01
  But nil era that we're dealing with now where you get these big
• 3:03:04
  freshman prospects. Obviously, doing it a lot more
• 3:03:07
  with the homegrown talent on some of the mentorship that he
• 3:03:09
  brought to those kids as well that all soccer with those
• 3:03:12
  quotes are still being resurrected today.
• 3:03:14
  And obviously, all those champions.
• 3:03:16
  Watch how I eat my stream. Hard to do.
• 3:03:21
  All right. Q All right, I'm gonna go with
• 3:03:23
  the home team, go with Dean Smith.
• 3:03:25
  Two national championships. 879 wins.
• 3:03:28
  Go check your. Luggage basketball player.
• 3:03:31
  Ever to bounce a basketball so revolutionary of the game gave
• 3:03:36
  the guys, I think they say. Something about he got like shot
• 3:03:39
  cock. And floor, I look delicious.
• 3:03:41
  You know, he put the implemented that into the game.
• 3:03:44
  So I would say his innovation, the way he, you know, coached,
• 3:03:49
  the way he changed. The game.
• 3:03:50
  Impacted the game I'm going with Dean Smith for.
• 3:03:54
  The King. How about Johnny Reno for two?
• 3:03:59
  Yeah, I'm going to. So I'll go back.
• 3:04:01
  I'll snake it here. I'm going to take the current
• 3:04:03
  guy, Danny. Danny Hurley.
• 3:04:05
  I mean, the guy's been a four straight final four.
• 3:04:07
  He's got 2. Championships, a chance to win
• 3:04:09
  the third championship. You know, the program as a
• 3:04:12
  whole, Yukon's been great. They got eight final fours total
• 3:04:14
  when they like 6 championships and when they get there they
• 3:04:17
  kind of do really well. For me, Danny Hurley's just been
• 3:04:22
  the current guy and it's hard to go against what he's doing.
• 3:04:25
  And Nils opened up where everybody's kind of equal.
• 3:04:28
  So for me, he's he's kind of, he's not just battling like
• 3:04:31
  recruiting every year. He's got to recruit the same
• 3:04:33
  guys every year. That's hard to do you.
• 3:04:36
  Used to have to. Recruit a guy one time now you
• 3:04:38
  got to recruit a guy through his freshman year software.
• 3:04:41
  You got to be able to keep players.
• 3:04:42
  So for me it's going to be Hurley.
• 3:04:44
  He's got a chance to win three and four years, which is in
• 3:04:46
  today's era, hasn't been done since, but you know those wooden
• 3:04:49
  areas in the 60s and 70s. So for me it's Hurley and then
• 3:04:52
  I'm going to go to Rick Pitino. I think Rick Pitino was a way I
• 3:04:57
  get 2 right. Like snakes back and forth.
• 3:05:03
  I go Rick Pitino because he's got, he's taken.
• 3:05:07
  What 3 teams? To the Final Four, he had a
• 3:05:09
  chance. To do it.
• 3:05:09
  Again this. Year.
• 3:05:11
  With Saint John's. He has 2 championships and two
• 3:05:13
  different programs and the rivals of Kentucky in
• 3:05:16
  Louisville. So for me, he just kind of gets
• 3:05:18
  there and wins. He took Iona to the tournament.
• 3:05:21
  They won a couple games. He took Saint John's this year.
• 3:05:24
  They had a really deep run, probably should have beat Duke.
• 3:05:27
  They were up late were beat Duke.
• 3:05:28
  So for me, I think Rick Pitino, everywhere he goes, he just
• 3:05:32
  breeds winners. So I'm going to take him.
• 3:05:35
  All right, back to cute. I'm going to stay in the
• 3:05:38
  triangle state. I hate to say it, but I'm going
• 3:05:40
  to go with coach K on this one. I think he.
• 3:05:43
  Has five national. Championships.
• 3:05:46
  Was very consistent in winning the way he did different things.
• 3:05:49
  I don't want to want to say too much about who you know about
• 3:05:52
  him, but got to tear my hat to him.
• 3:05:55
  I think he coached and won in a lot of different eras, which
• 3:05:59
  made his greatness even better. So I'm going to go with coach is
• 3:06:03
  really structured. All right, speedy for two.
• 3:06:07
  All right, I'll go with I'll go with an old school one.
• 3:06:08
  I have a have a Bobby Knight. Bobby Knight obviously
• 3:06:10
  orchestrating all those undefeated seasons.
• 3:06:12
  And. An Indiana team again.
• 3:06:13
  Same. Similar kind of right after
• 3:06:15
  John. Warden, there wasn't.
• 3:06:16
  As much as the state of basketball and an undefeated
• 3:06:20
  season that I know Kentucky tried to duplicate, Gonzaga
• 3:06:22
  tried to duplicate in 2021 and it just all all fall short and
• 3:06:25
  just a hard thing to do. And I think doing it for as long
• 3:06:28
  as he did, even after Indiana too, having a lot of success,
• 3:06:31
  didn't win a national championship, but after those
• 3:06:33
  two championships in in Indiana still being a great coach for a
• 3:06:36
  very long time. So he's my number 2 and I'll
• 3:06:39
  finish it off with the guy that started the UConn run, Jim
• 3:06:43
  Calhoun. And he won three titles over the
• 3:06:45
  span of a 99 O 4 and 2011 with many different players doing in
• 3:06:49
  the Big East, which at that time was a gauntlet, as still is in
• 3:06:52
  certain years now. Back then when you had a lot of
• 3:06:56
  really good teams in there all at once, that was as good of a
• 3:06:59
  gauntlet as you can get. And they were a dominant of
• 3:07:01
  tournament runs as you can get. It doesn't matter what it is.
• 3:07:04
  Love Calhoun, cute coach and all.
• 3:07:08
  Rob from Kentucky won. Four national championships.
• 3:07:12
  And. And it kind of.
• 3:07:14
  Proud of the evolution. Of the Kentucky Wildcats.
• 3:07:17
  I'm gonna go with him. Very old school, very tradition.
• 3:07:21
  Yeah. So I'm gonna rock out with him.
• 3:07:22
  I don't think nobody can beat my 3 right now and finish it up.
• 3:07:27
  Johnny Reno. I'm going to go with Tom Izzo.
• 3:07:31
  I think he only has one title. But he's got eight final.
• 3:07:34
  Fours, right? So we're talking about
• 3:07:36
  tournament. Consistency.
• 3:07:38
  His team is consistently going deep.
• 3:07:39
  Eight Final Fours, one title. He's he's nicknamed Mr. March.
• 3:07:44
  I think there's it's hard to count him out.
• 3:07:46
  I wish there was maybe another title there, but I think at
• 3:07:49
  Michigan State he kind of made Michigan State basketball what
• 3:07:53
  it is, what's what is known as today.
• 3:07:55
  So I'm going to take Tom Mizzo was one title eight final force.
• 3:07:59
  All right, Errol, that is everyone's choice.
• 3:08:02
  Who are the two moving on to the next round?
• 3:08:05
  I like all of them. I mean, they're all great
• 3:08:07
  coaches. But, you know, Speedy's always
• 3:08:09
  here, so I'm going to take Reno, Johnny, and I'm going to take
• 3:08:11
  Copes, all right? Speedy, pop out Johnny, we're
• 3:08:16
  going to bring you into Round 2, the joust.
• 3:08:20
  Oh man, the points. Are doubled.
• 3:08:23
  Not really, but it's the next round.
• 3:08:25
  Then the next question. Oh wait, that's.
• 3:08:27
  Actually not the right one. We need to go back to the.
• 3:08:29
  Second one, how did? I go to round 3 before 2.
• 3:08:32
  That must have been a mistake. Let it roll.
• 3:08:34
  Here's Round 2, the joust, the most important players in the
• 3:08:40
  Final Four. I want you to talk to me about
• 3:08:43
  the guys on these two teams. I'm sorry, these four teams in
• 3:08:49
  these two games, who? Are the biggest.
• 3:08:52
  And most important players for the Final Four.
• 3:08:56
  This. Weekend.
• 3:08:58
  All right, let's get back to the view right here.
• 3:09:02
  And here it is Let's go. And this one will just alternate
• 3:09:05
  Johnny, then Q, then back to Johnny.
• 3:09:07
  Johnny, start us off the amount. Yeah, I'm going to take the and
• 3:09:17
  I again, I'm going. On Illinois to win the game, but
• 3:09:19
  I think for UConn. It's going to be the white boy,
• 3:09:24
  and his name is Sipham. I'm telling you, I have to.
• 3:09:26
  I know who I'm talking about. But what's that?
• 3:09:30
  Damn, What's that? Big white boy?
• 3:09:31
  Little white boy. Not a big white boy.
• 3:09:36
  Caravan. Caravan.
• 3:09:38
  Yeah, that's it. Caravan He.
• 3:09:39
  Had a terrible game last time out.
• 3:09:42
  And I know that because I took his over point total which he
• 3:09:44
  did not. Get close to.
• 3:09:46
  And. That was a big part of the
• 3:09:48
  reason why Duke was kind of running away.
• 3:09:50
  He did not have a good second-half.
• 3:09:51
  I think he had about 10 points that kind of evened out on his
• 3:09:55
  season average before UConn. To have success, it's got to go
• 3:09:59
  through him. He's got to be able to be a
• 3:10:01
  force on rebounds and Illinois does have size, so.
• 3:10:05
  He's got to. Be and what I think scares me
• 3:10:07
  for you Ucon is the reason why he struggled was because Duke
• 3:10:11
  had sized to shut him down so I think if he cannot overcome that
• 3:10:14
  against you Illinois he's going to struggle cute I'm going Reese
• 3:10:21
  UConn. I think everything lives and die
• 3:10:24
  with him. Obviously him being a strong.
• 3:10:26
  Rebounder. Will.
• 3:10:28
  Impact the game tremendously. I think he's a great talent with
• 3:10:31
  scoring, so I don't think he'll have an issue with that.
• 3:10:33
  But I think it's going to impact the game a lot.
• 3:10:36
  If he can grab a lot of balls in this city, come out with a
• 3:10:38
  double, double probably like anywhere between 11:00 and 12:00
• 3:10:41
  rebounds and 20 plus points. I think it seals the deal for
• 3:10:45
  you guys, Johnny. I'm going to go with Michigan's
• 3:10:49
  big man Yaxel Landenberg. I think one thing about him,
• 3:10:53
  he's got a lot of motivation, I think.
• 3:10:55
  One thing when he was at UAB, he.
• 3:10:57
  Really expected to play for Alabama.
• 3:11:00
  He really expected Alabama to go get him.
• 3:11:02
  He was very surprised that Michigan came and got him and
• 3:11:05
  he's very motivated to play for Dusty May.
• 3:11:07
  So I think he's going to be a big force.
• 3:11:09
  I think there's a reason why Michigan's playing as well as
• 3:11:12
  they have been. They've been going through him.
• 3:11:14
  He's got, he's not near double, he's not at the double double,
• 3:11:18
  but he's got 15, 3.7 rebounds, 4 assists a game.
• 3:11:20
  I think he's the key to Michigan.
• 3:11:22
  They will continue to go through him.
• 3:11:24
  I think he's the big reason they win this game and get to the
• 3:11:27
  national championship. Q I'm gonna go with Arizona.
• 3:11:31
  Braden Burns. I think he's going to maintain
• 3:11:34
  control of the game, get to the spots, get his shots.
• 3:11:37
  Up keep. The pressure on him and I think
• 3:11:41
  keep the pressure on Michigan and I think he would be the
• 3:11:43
  determine the fact that them coming out with a win versus
• 3:11:45
  Michigan. All right, back to Johnny.
• 3:11:47
  I'm going to go with Illinois guard Waggler who who broke out
• 3:11:51
  in his last game. This is a guy who shoots 40%
• 3:11:54
  from three and like I said. The big discrepancy I think.
• 3:11:56
  It was a better shooting team. So if Waggler can keep that
• 3:12:00
  consistent pace, shoot 40%, control the game.
• 3:12:03
  He does average 17 points a game.
• 3:12:06
  He's got 4 assists to go with that.
• 3:12:08
  I think he has to have control of this game if they can slow
• 3:12:12
  down, because they do have a couple guys in Merkovich that
• 3:12:15
  can kind of slow squeeze the teeth and if they can get
• 3:12:18
  outside and make those shots running through Wagler, I think
• 3:12:21
  Illinois is going to be a poised position to win this game and
• 3:12:24
  win the National. Title, but it's all going to go.
• 3:12:26
  Make her squirt, make me jerk and finish it off.
• 3:12:30
  Cute sleeper. I don't know.
• 3:12:33
  Morez Johnson Junior. I think it.
• 3:12:36
  For Michigan, I think. He can.
• 3:12:38
  Really be the one that. Determine.
• 3:12:41
  Whether or not Michigan come out, he's a big body, he's a big
• 3:12:44
  present. He get on the boys and and kind
• 3:12:46
  of take away those second chances opportunity from
• 3:12:48
  Arizona. I think he wins they they end up
• 3:12:51
  making a close guy still got Arizona to win game, but can
• 3:12:54
  definitely change the impact that that that outcome based off
• 3:12:58
  how he performed on the boys. All right, you heard it.
• 3:13:01
  Errol, who's going on to take on the king?
• 3:13:06
  They're both really good, but I think Reno, Johnny, I mean his,
• 3:13:09
  his. Three were great, so I'm going
• 3:13:11
  to go with Reno Johnny. All right, so Johnny, you.
• 3:13:14
  Get to move up to the finale, but that means Q and Speedy.
• 3:13:18
  You come back in and you're going to join me here on the.
• 3:13:21
  Bottom, where we are going to be the voters in what becomes now a
• 3:13:25
  democratic election. On this last question, Yep, just
• 3:13:30
  turn it up on its head where you get to take on the king.
• 3:13:33
  The best games in this year's tournament so.
• 3:13:38
  Far. Tell me about your experience
• 3:13:42
  watching the first. You know, I guess 60 teams get
• 3:13:46
  eliminated. Along the way.
• 3:13:48
  Tell me your favorite games. What were the best games in the
• 3:13:52
  2026? Torney started off with the
• 3:13:58
  King, Mr. Errol Marx. I'm going to go with the Elite
• 3:14:03
  8, UConn versus Duke, the Braille and Mullins shots, I
• 3:14:08
  mean, heard around the world. The shot that completely shocked
• 3:14:12
  the world you saw? Shire has a meme out all over
• 3:14:16
  social medias right now. It's going to be very, very
• 3:14:18
  popular for the rest of the year.
• 3:14:20
  It might be popular enough by the end of next year when he
• 3:14:23
  gets fired, because that will be his face when he gets shockingly
• 3:14:26
  fired by the Blue Devils. But the elite 8?
• 3:14:29
  UConn knocking off Duke 73 ready to was the one that stood out to
• 3:14:33
  me. All right, Johnny, so I can't
• 3:14:37
  use the same game and it's hard to to go second when that game
• 3:14:42
  just happened, but I'm going to take.
• 3:14:44
  A game that. Was round of 32.
• 3:14:48
  I'm going to take Texas win against Gonzaga.
• 3:14:51
  That was a a game where Texas came in clearly 6 1/2 point, 7
• 3:14:56
  point underdogs. I was in Vegas for that game.
• 3:14:59
  I very heavy Gonzaga money all over the place except for me and
• 3:15:04
  a couple of my boys there. We, we all had Texas money.
• 3:15:07
  That game to me was was one of the better games of the
• 3:15:10
  tournament. It was an underdog.
• 3:15:12
  You know, Texas had kind of a good Cinderella run for a big
• 3:15:15
  program that they are, and they started in the first four.
• 3:15:18
  That Gonzaga win his underdogs. It really showed out close game
• 3:15:22
  in the big corner shot to go up five with about 10 seconds to go
• 3:15:26
  to seal the deal. So that game to me was one of
• 3:15:29
  the better games of the tournament.
• 3:15:31
  Errol first round high point knocking off Wisconsin 7675 that
• 3:15:37
  stood out to me and by the way gave.
• 3:15:39
  Mike Lemare A. New job?
• 3:15:41
  Who's now the head coach of Syracuse?
• 3:15:43
  Open up many opportunities for him.
• 3:15:45
  I mean, it shocked. Wisconsin was one of the best
• 3:15:48
  teams all season long for the NCAA.
• 3:15:50
  A lot of people thought was going go you make faces, but a
• 3:15:54
  lot of people thought they were going to the Sweet 16.
• 3:15:57
  They're a good shooting team. A lot of people shocked at high
• 3:15:59
  point knocked them off 7675. So I would go high point in the
• 3:16:03
  first round. All right.
• 3:16:06
  The only reason I make the only reason I make faces because as a
• 3:16:08
  small school better high points been a money maker for me this
• 3:16:12
  year and a lot of people. Just don't know about high.
• 3:16:14
  Point. They probably should have been
• 3:16:16
  favored in that game. The other game for me that was
• 3:16:19
  one of the better games of the tournament was Saint John's
• 3:16:22
  versus Kansas. It was a game where Saint John's
• 3:16:24
  seemingly had the game in hand. I think there were 15 or so with
• 3:16:28
  about 6 minutes to go. I was in Vegas, I'm at the pool,
• 3:16:32
  the drinks are flowing. I stopped watching the game
• 3:16:34
  because I didn't care. My my, my ticket was cashed
• 3:16:38
  until I was like putting in another bet.
• 3:16:40
  And I realized that we can live bet Saint Johns and Kansas, and
• 3:16:43
  they're tied. With a minute to go, the drinks
• 3:16:46
  started flowing a little bit less smooth.
• 3:16:48
  All right, So I got up off my ass and went to the TV screen
• 3:16:50
  till the game was over. One of the better games.
• 3:16:52
  It was a buzzer beater. There was no time left when that
• 3:16:56
  shot went in. So that to me was one of the
• 3:16:58
  better games of the tournament. It was 2 high point powerhouses
• 3:17:04
  going against each other for a chance to advance, and it did
• 3:17:07
  not disappoint. 2.1 for St. John's.
• 3:17:09
  All right, last round, Errol, I'm going, I'm going.
• 3:17:12
  VCU knocking off North Carolina that send Hubert Davis packing,
• 3:17:17
  ladies and gentlemen. The shocking smile.
• 3:17:20
  That everybody made for all you Tar Heel fans, especially the
• 3:17:23
  one in Quinton Couples, he should be smiling because Hubert
• 3:17:27
  Davis is not going to be the coach next year.
• 3:17:28
  So you don't have to see bad basketball again.
• 3:17:30
  We'll see who's going to be the one being landing landing that
• 3:17:33
  job, but I'm going to go VCU shocking North Carolina all
• 3:17:39
  right and Johnny last one of the show could go to here could go
• 3:17:43
  there's two games here that I could go with, but I'm going to
• 3:17:45
  go with the one that actually. Won the game which?
• 3:17:48
  Is going to be Iowa this Florida defending?
• 3:17:51
  National champions coming in, how do you let him just slip by?
• 3:17:55
  You take the open 3 pointer to win with about .8 seconds to go
• 3:18:00
  in the game, knocking off the defending champions.
• 3:18:04
  A team that I would like. No, I don't think a lot of
• 3:18:06
  people gave them a much of a chance to advance, especially in
• 3:18:09
  that bracket. So for me that was one of the
• 3:18:11
  more crushing. That was a the first bracket
• 3:18:14
  Buster probably over the, you know, going with A9 knock knock.
• 3:18:19
  I think a lot of people thought Florida, including me, thought
• 3:18:22
  they were going to get eliminated early in the
• 3:18:24
  tournaments. I I didn't like Florida this
• 3:18:26
  year, hopefully against Iowa. Yeah, I didn't think.
• 3:18:29
  No, I think show me the bracket. I I did.
• 3:18:33
  I have him getting eliminated. His bracket is done in the.
• 3:18:36
  Vanderbilt I. Had him losing against.
• 3:18:39
  Vanderbilt, I had him losing. Against Vanderbilt, I was a Iowa
• 3:18:43
  it. Was not the team to do it.
• 3:18:46
  But yeah, I understand. If you dude, your brackets going
• 3:18:48
  to be done tomorrow. So, I mean, Arizona's getting
• 3:18:51
  knocked out by Michigan. So it doesn't matter.
• 3:18:54
  It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
• 3:18:56
  Let's. Let's ramp up this segment and
• 3:18:58
  let's do our voting. So I I wrote him down.
• 3:19:01
  Errol took the Duke Yukon. Elite 8 game High point.
• 3:19:04
  Wisconsin. And.
• 3:19:05
  VC. UUNC getting Herb Hubert Davis
• 3:19:08
  fired. Johnny has the Texas Gonzaga
• 3:19:11
  second round game, the Saint John's Kansas second round game
• 3:19:15
  and the Iowa Florida upset. I'm going with Errol on this
• 3:19:21
  one. I think that I would give the
• 3:19:25
  second game to Johnny. The St.
• 3:19:26
  John's Kansas game was excellent, but also I think the
• 3:19:30
  high point game was really good and Hubert Davis getting fired
• 3:19:34
  is a pretty big moment in college basketball.
• 3:19:36
  And I that Iowa game Florida were a bunch of frauds.
• 3:19:40
  I I I would say that's awash and nothing is better and that Duke
• 3:19:44
  Yukon game. So I just think, you know, it's
• 3:19:46
  just hard to beat that one. I'm going to give the nod is a
• 3:19:49
  close one, but I'm going to give it to Errol.
• 3:19:51
  Q How are you voting? I'm going with Johnny.
• 3:19:53
  I think that Errol has good picks, but as far as performance
• 3:19:57
  wise, I thought he I thought he was a little complacent.
• 3:20:00
  I felt like he felt like. He had already beat Johnny
• 3:20:03
  before he beat him. I don't think he put a lot of
• 3:20:05
  effort into actually beating Johnny throughout this so and
• 3:20:09
  then he also chose Joppa Junior over here, another thing.
• 3:20:11
  So he took a shot. I think Johnny was doing a great
• 3:20:14
  job at spending the third game and then Earl interrupted him,
• 3:20:18
  which shows that he felt. Like he was already just get.
• 3:20:20
  The hell out of here. Want to go with Johnny, Put a
• 3:20:23
  win, win crazy. All right, it's tight and one
• 3:20:29
  speedy. You're the tie.
• 3:20:29
  Bro. There was a very good battle.
• 3:20:32
  It's as close as it gets, but. High Points does not have a head
• 3:20:35
  coach named Jerry McNamara. That was Sienna, and that's how
• 3:20:38
  we end up. Getting the hire by the I was
• 3:20:41
  going to take Johnny and that one, we have a new king in town
• 3:20:45
  and his name is Johnny Reno. Congrats, Johnny.
• 3:20:50
  You are king of the hell Just. While you're new washer and dry,
• 3:20:55
  Johnny. You did it man.
• 3:20:57
  Do you have? Any.
• 3:20:58
  Any. First words for your annotation,
• 3:21:01
  so I thank Jesus. Do I get fired?
• 3:21:06
  Do I get? Cancelled.
• 3:21:10
  Possibly. But you're going to be all right
• 3:21:12
  that that would be the thing that gets this trouble out of
• 3:21:15
  the whole show. I I really knew that.
• 3:21:19
  Speedy wasn't going to pick me anyways, and I definitely.
• 3:21:21
  Knew Quinton wasn't going with me anyways, so.
• 3:21:24
  Speedy has this love fest for. Reno, Johnny, He just.
• 3:21:27
  Knew her. I I know, I know.
• 3:21:29
  Speedy I know. Started off with the merit for
• 3:21:32
  Johnny. He has a love fest for Reno.
• 3:21:34
  Johnny, trust me, you don't know.
• 3:21:39
  He'll wipe his ass. That's probably one person.
• 3:21:41
  Don't get any ideas. Goba smack my ass.
• 3:21:43
  No, I reckon if Joba do it either.
• 3:21:47
  Anyways, Reno, thank you, that was fun.
• 3:21:49
  I'll be back. Next week to defend.
• 3:21:50
  The crown, I guess. Hey.
• 3:21:53
  Talk there. Talk, Johnny.
• 3:21:56
  Blowjob all. Right.
• 3:21:59
  Bye bye Reno. Later, guys.
• 3:22:05
  All right. We call.
• 3:22:06
  This dial it up. We interrupt this regularly
• 3:22:08
  scheduled hot mix to. Bring your important news.
• 3:22:10
  We got. A big.
• 3:22:12
  Broadcast to do here. We're we're about to dial it all
• 3:22:15
  it up. Make her squirt, make me jerk.
• 3:22:20
  Welcome back to Dime Up, everyone's favorite Lightning
• 3:22:24
  Round score segments. We're going to get into a bunch
• 3:22:27
  of stories. Errol has no idea what.
• 3:22:28
  They are. He's going to dial.
• 3:22:29
  Up a take and one of us is going to respond to him.
• 3:22:32
  Are you guys ready? For yet another.
• 3:22:34
  Edition of Dialing Here it is first story.
• 3:22:38
  Oh Errol. This one had me scratching my
• 3:22:42
  head because not at 1. Point in time when I was.
• 3:22:44
  Watching Amari. Stoudemire that I go.
• 3:22:47
  Oh, that's a Hall of Famer that's on on the Knicks
• 3:22:49
  alongside Carmelo Anthony. No, I never thought that.
• 3:22:53
  And Doc Rivers also gets put into the Basketball Hall of Fame
• 3:23:01
  alongside WNBA players Elena Della.
• 3:23:03
  Dunn and. Candace Parker, Those two, I
• 3:23:08
  don't think anyone's arguing about need to deserve to get in.
• 3:23:11
  Amari, on the other hand, is not the guy that I thought would be
• 3:23:16
  put in. I didn't hear a lot of people
• 3:23:18
  clamoring for Amari to get into the Hall of Fame.
• 3:23:21
  And Doc has the eighth most wins in basketball history.
• 3:23:27
  Errol, dial it up. The NBA, everybody gets into the
• 3:23:33
  Hall of Fame. Every single one of these guys.
• 3:23:35
  Are in the Hall of Fame. You name I, I, I.
• 3:23:39
  Look at some of these guys are getting inducted into Hall of
• 3:23:41
  Fame. They shouldn't be in the Hall of
• 3:23:43
  Fame. Amar Stoudemire, you can
• 3:23:46
  question, I mean his he had five really good years.
• 3:23:49
  Hall of Fame, No, Doc Rivers won 1 championship, won championship
• 3:23:54
  with the Celtics. And honestly, the guy that was
• 3:23:57
  running the defense was Tom Thibodeau, He had Kevin Garnett,
• 3:24:01
  he had Rajon Rondo, he had Ray Allen, he had Paul Pierce.
• 3:24:06
  Anybody could have coached that team and won a championship.
• 3:24:09
  So believe it or not, I don't think Doc Rivers is a Hall of
• 3:24:13
  Fame head coach, but either is Stottlemyer.
• 3:24:16
  I I don't think any of those guys should be in the Hall of
• 3:24:18
  Fame. I think the NBA is, it's the
• 3:24:20
  easiest to get into the Hall of Fame out of any other sport.
• 3:24:23
  The NFL is almost impossible. We see guys sitting that should
• 3:24:27
  be in the Hall of Fame 15 years ago.
• 3:24:29
  The MLB, it's up and down. Usually you don't get into Hall
• 3:24:33
  of Fame. Roger Clemens is not in the Hall
• 3:24:34
  of Fame. Alex Rodriguez is in the Hall of
• 3:24:37
  Fame. Barry Bonds is not in the Hall
• 3:24:38
  of Fame. I don't care what they did.
• 3:24:40
  They're a Hall of Famers, and in the NHL it it's not easy getting
• 3:24:44
  to the Hall of Fame. It took Pierre Tarjan almost 20
• 3:24:47
  years to get into the Hall of Fame.
• 3:24:48
  So basketball, for some reason, everybody gets into the Hall of
• 3:24:52
  Fame. So I'm not surprised.
• 3:24:56
  Yeah, I think, well, congratulations to both guys.
• 3:25:00
  Personally, I think you're you You.
• 3:25:02
  The Morris Dynamite was probably one of the top power fours.
• 3:25:06
  In his era overall, if you if you want to be, you know, Frank
• 3:25:11
  about it, I think he was arguably in one of the most
• 3:25:14
  talented and big men powerful era.
• 3:25:17
  And so I think rightfully so, I think he deserved to be in
• 3:25:20
  there. I know he has some down years
• 3:25:21
  with the Knicks and that's probably what you basing his
• 3:25:24
  career off of. But I think overall him and
• 3:25:27
  Steve Nash did with the pick and roll that was was huge.
• 3:25:30
  And Phoenix and I think that it's yeah, very well deserved
• 3:25:35
  from Amari Stoudemire, Doc Rivers, you know, as he won the
• 3:25:39
  2008 Celtics, won one of the greatest and hardest
• 3:25:45
  championship run that we've seen in in modern history.
• 3:25:51
  But I think he's been good doing well as well.
• 3:25:53
  I think he's struggled on the back end when he got to
• 3:25:55
  Milwaukee in the Bucks and you know, this new era of young guys
• 3:26:00
  and things, it's difficult for him to kind of coach his style.
• 3:26:04
  A lot of people don't think he can really coach, but somehow or
• 3:26:07
  another he's still top 10 to win.
• 3:26:09
  So you don't just get there by looks.
• 3:26:11
  I look at Amari, I'm looking at his stat sheet over here.
• 3:26:15
  He was rookie of the year, come on, straight out of high school.
• 3:26:19
  He had with the. Sons he had the one year he had
• 3:26:23
  the bad injury, but every year that he was on the Suns besides
• 3:26:26
  his rookie year, he averaged over 20 points a game with the
• 3:26:30
  Knicks the first year he came over played 78 games, averaged
• 3:26:33
  25 points a game was awesome. He was amazing that first year
• 3:26:39
  and after that he never averaged 20 points a game for the rest of
• 3:26:44
  his career. So half of his career is like a
• 3:26:47
  very. Short peak like you know.
• 3:26:48
  What I mean, it was like an 8 year, pretty high, high type of
• 3:26:53
  guy. So we're saying like that's kind
• 3:26:54
  of, you know, like the Terrell Davis argument in the NFL,
• 3:26:58
  right? Terrell Davis had those 5 or 6
• 3:27:00
  big time, big time seasons, but that was it, right?
• 3:27:04
  Do whether his injury or he just started later, a lot of people
• 3:27:07
  were against that. I know Errol, you've talked
• 3:27:08
  about that it's impact, you know, when it comes to those
• 3:27:11
  different things like, you know, a lot of times the the stats
• 3:27:15
  don't reflect the impact that the player actually have and I
• 3:27:17
  think when those. Judges get in those room and
• 3:27:19
  they're making those decisions. They're going to say, hey, did
• 3:27:22
  he? And he was like, after the
• 3:27:25
  stretch four in the NBA. In the NBA, you need 10 great
• 3:27:29
  years, and he did not have 10 great years.
• 3:27:31
  Why 10? Because that's to me, if you
• 3:27:34
  look at the talent that has gone.
• 3:27:35
  Into the. Hall of Fame and you compare him
• 3:27:38
  18 points a game, Derrick. Rose averaged.
• 3:27:40
  About 17 points. A game and he's not going into
• 3:27:42
  the Hall of Fame. So he got hurt.
• 3:27:45
  He just took his legs. I guarantee you his his seven or
• 3:27:49
  eight better, best years are better than Amari Stoudelmeyer.
• 3:27:52
  Anyone in? MVP.
• 3:27:54
  Well, he was primary. Ball carrier.
• 3:27:56
  So should. Yeah, he should have ball
• 3:27:59
  handler. He was an MVP.
• 3:28:02
  Yes, he was. I'm not taking.
• 3:28:03
  That away from him. But I'm saying he's the primary
• 3:28:05
  ball and the only guy on the team at the time.
• 3:28:09
  I'm going Amari 4. Four time second team, All NBA,
• 3:28:13
  one time first team. Derrick Rose.
• 3:28:16
  You got a ballot. Like football, the first ballot.
• 3:28:19
  Derrick yeah, he just entering Derrick Rose had a better career
• 3:28:23
  than Amari. Not first ballot.
• 3:28:24
  Yeah, I agree. Derrick Rose did.
• 3:28:25
  Have a better career than Amari, but you never know.
• 3:28:28
  We'll see. Maybe.
• 3:28:28
  Rose gets into, well, baseball. Let.
• 3:28:30
  Harold Baines in so if you know if you ever played.
• 3:28:32
  For that was because of Tony Larussa.
• 3:28:34
  That was Tony Larussa happened, so the Mariners have this
• 3:28:39
  prospect that I've had in my dynasty.
• 3:28:42
  League for a while now and I've just known about them, but you.
• 3:28:45
  Never know how these. Guys turn out.
• 3:28:46
  Because they could be the best prospect in all of baseball for
• 3:28:50
  in half a year, and then they show up and they stink.
• 3:28:54
  Well, the Mariners don't seem to care.
• 3:28:55
  They're giving this guy called Emerson $95 million and they're
• 3:29:01
  not promoting. Him.
• 3:29:03
  He's. Still in AAA, it's six year deal
• 3:29:07
  95. They're eating again, they're
• 3:29:08
  trying to buy away. In baseball, you have those
• 3:29:11
  arbitration years where the team you know.
• 3:29:14
  Basically has. You over a barrel you.
• 3:29:15
  Don't make a lot of. Money you got to beg and borrow
• 3:29:17
  and just to get like 8,000,010 million, they're going to get
• 3:29:20
  him have more, but it eats away at his free agency years so that
• 3:29:23
  they get to keep him for some of his prime.
• 3:29:25
  A lot of teams are doing it, but nobody has done it.
• 3:29:29
  For somebody that has not played a single game in Major League
• 3:29:33
  Baseball, this is a little, little tough for me, for me to
• 3:29:37
  stomach. Errol, what do you think?
• 3:29:39
  Dial it up. Obviously they know something
• 3:29:42
  about this kid and how special he is and they're making sure
• 3:29:45
  that when he's ready for arbitration.
• 3:29:48
  They are in control of it if they don't.
• 3:29:50
  Even have to worry about arbitration now because he's got
• 3:29:53
  a $95 million contract. We saw that Ronald Cunha got
• 3:29:57
  that contract. He got a 10 year, $100 million
• 3:29:59
  contract and he's been up and down and injury prone.
• 3:30:02
  But when he is on the field, he's as good as anybody.
• 3:30:05
  I think this is a good move for Seattle.
• 3:30:06
  Obviously he's a young, talented player.
• 3:30:09
  He's going to be called up very, very soon.
• 3:30:12
  He's right now swimming in the money and he's probably very,
• 3:30:15
  very happy. But is he when he's ready to
• 3:30:18
  become a free agent years and years away?
• 3:30:21
  His his best years are gone. And the and the Mariners are
• 3:30:24
  right now smiling because if this kid turns into the player
• 3:30:28
  they think he's going to be, it's a win win for them.
• 3:30:30
  So very interesting deal. Yeah.
• 3:30:32
  I've always had high potential with him too.
• 3:30:34
  I he's the one that I think will definitely be a dynamic player.
• 3:30:37
  It's interesting Fish. This is where I wanted to get
• 3:30:39
  it. You see these teams do it with.
• 3:30:41
  Pitchers a lot more where they're trying to give the
• 3:30:43
  innings limits and send them back down.
• 3:30:45
  You don't see it as much with the hitters nowadays.
• 3:30:48
  And that's where that's maybe more of the sign of why it was
• 3:30:51
  surprising that they did it this quickly.
• 3:30:52
  But I do think you'll come up well relatively quickly.
• 3:30:54
  They'll probably play the control game.
• 3:30:56
  But again, it just shows how flawed the arbitration system
• 3:30:58
  is. That's one of the biggest thing
• 3:30:59
  that needs to change with how minor league players have been
• 3:31:02
  treated for a while and now you're seeing these teams, these
• 3:31:04
  goods, I guess you could say second tier markets.
• 3:31:07
  Seattle pays guys. I think they're like 12th or
• 3:31:08
  11th payroll wise and you're seeing that's the new process
• 3:31:12
  that I think these teams are taking over with to counter this
• 3:31:14
  very flawed arbitration system. I mean, I'm pretty sure you're
• 3:31:18
  not keeping a guy who makes $17 million a year in the minors for
• 3:31:22
  very long, right? You know, that's that's
• 3:31:23
  basically what we're saying so. Well, it's interesting.
• 3:31:26
  We'll see if he's any good. I hope he is forsake of my
• 3:31:28
  fantasy team. Let's get out of baseball and go
• 3:31:31
  back to basketball. Errol, this, what a what a
• 3:31:34
  beautiful story this whole Dallas saga has become.
• 3:31:39
  Now, Mark Cuban came out on Tuesday in a podcast called the
• 3:31:43
  Intersections podcast. He says, I don't regret selling.
• 3:31:47
  We're talking about selling The Mavericks.
• 3:31:50
  He still has 27% of The Mavericks ownership, but
• 3:31:53
  obviously no longer controls anything, doesn't have ownership
• 3:31:56
  control stake. So I don't regret regret
• 3:32:00
  selling. I regret who I sold to.
• 3:32:02
  I made a lot of mistakes in the process and I'll leave it at
• 3:32:05
  that. Now he made money, he said
• 3:32:07
  nothing really changes except his bank account, he thought at
• 3:32:11
  least. And then when he got into the
• 3:32:14
  position, they stopped listening to him.
• 3:32:16
  They hired Nico Harrison, they got rid of Luka Doncic and have
• 3:32:21
  bottomed out even with number one overall pick Cooper flag
• 3:32:25
  that they lucked into somehow. Wink, wink.
• 3:32:28
  Errol, there's nothing, and there's no way of putting into
• 3:32:33
  words is he was all about the money.
• 3:32:35
  He wanted to swim in the money. He didn't.
• 3:32:37
  At the time, he didn't care. Who he was selling it to and.
• 3:32:40
  Then when he realized he had no power, no control, and they were
• 3:32:43
  going to ruin this organization and team and they were all about
• 3:32:45
  a casino because that's all they wanted.
• 3:32:47
  That's why they bought the team. They they moved on Chick,
• 3:32:50
  because they thought, hey, you know what, we move him.
• 3:32:53
  We can figure out ways to bring in a casino to Dallas.
• 3:32:57
  It didn't work. It didn't sell to the NBA.
• 3:32:59
  It didn't sell to anybody or whoever.
• 3:33:02
  So I, I honestly don't believe that he regrets it.
• 3:33:06
  He's trying to buy them back because he knew at the time that
• 3:33:10
  this helped him grow his name, helped him put him center stage
• 3:33:15
  as an owner. Look at all the agreements.
• 3:33:18
  Look at all the different things that he has done in the past.
• 3:33:20
  Look at the Shark Tank and everything.
• 3:33:22
  Nobody would have known who he was until he bought The
• 3:33:25
  Mavericks and he controlled The Mavericks.
• 3:33:27
  He would have just been another billionaire.
• 3:33:29
  Then he became Mark Cuban, the billion dollar owner that owned
• 3:33:33
  the Dallas Mavericks, who by the way, sold it to an organized,
• 3:33:35
  sold it to a family that absolutely had nothing to do
• 3:33:39
  with basketball and didn't care about the basketball team.
• 3:33:42
  I don't think he regrets it. He's happy now he's trying to
• 3:33:45
  buy it back from them. It's pathetic.
• 3:33:48
  It's it's really pathetic. I, I don't even know like where
• 3:33:52
  to begin. I guess you begin with the fact
• 3:33:55
  that they made the worst trade in basketball.
• 3:33:57
  History a year after. Not even a full year I think
• 3:34:00
  Errol after. That he sold.
• 3:34:01
  The team, they took him out of all communication.
• 3:34:05
  They got rid of their franchise player who just took them, just
• 3:34:08
  took them to the championship, to the finals, right?
• 3:34:12
  They didn't, you know, they didn't win.
• 3:34:15
  But you don't get rid of a guy who just carried you on his
• 3:34:18
  back, All right? Is he great defensively?
• 3:34:21
  No, he's not great defensively. Should he, should he work on
• 3:34:24
  his? Body more than he does in the.
• 3:34:25
  Offseason. Yes, he should.
• 3:34:27
  Is he still a top five player in the NBA and project to be so for
• 3:34:30
  the next 10 years or or 8 to 10 years?
• 3:34:33
  Yes, he probably does. He's a top five.
• 3:34:35
  He's a top three player and he probably wins the MVP.
• 3:34:38
  The way this Laker team playing at the tail end of the season,
• 3:34:41
  everybody's saying it, that he has jumped.
• 3:34:43
  Over Webinyama and all the other guys, it's Shay, Shay and, and,
• 3:34:48
  and they're actually, they say he jumped over.
• 3:34:51
  What's his name again from the Nuggets?
• 3:34:53
  Jokic, Jokic, they jumped the ball, they jump.
• 3:34:55
  It's either him or Shay. Now everybody's saying the odds
• 3:34:58
  are weird though, because they're taking into account like
• 3:35:01
  they might not play enough games to qualify in the odds right
• 3:35:04
  now. So it's just, it's hard to
• 3:35:06
  really figure. It's not really.
• 3:35:07
  What I would look at so that he was having the best season
• 3:35:09
  because it's that weird part of it.
• 3:35:11
  But I'll say this, they're all having great seasons and Luke is
• 3:35:14
  amazing and Cooper flags not having the season Luke is having
• 3:35:18
  and they have he will, but they didn't have to do this well.
• 3:35:23
  It was a league thing. They shot themselves in the foot
• 3:35:27
  by doing this deal. It's the.
• 3:35:28
  Worst thing anyone ever did. And Cuban feels so bad because.
• 3:35:32
  Immediately. Who would have thought
• 3:35:34
  immediately the thing that you spent so much time creating and
• 3:35:37
  building up, they would just light it on fire within a year.
• 3:35:41
  What a what a joke. And I do feel bad for maybe they
• 3:35:43
  will let him get back into majority stake at some point,
• 3:35:46
  but I think there's just too much money.
• 3:35:47
  Keep him away from the game. Keep him away from the game.
• 3:35:49
  He sold the team for money. Keep him away from the game.
• 3:35:52
  Well, I think it's just another case of he thought the grass
• 3:35:55
  would grin on the other side. I don't.
• 3:35:56
  Think that I think the issue is that he felt like he was gaining
• 3:36:00
  something by. Setting the team and he ended up
• 3:36:02
  didn't he didn't like Earl said earlier, he didn't realize how
• 3:36:05
  much of his identity was wrapped up into The Mavericks.
• 3:36:07
  So yeah, the the the bottom line was a dollar.
• 3:36:10
  But once you get on it, once you once your money hit your bank
• 3:36:13
  account and you don't got no notes the show for it's like,
• 3:36:18
  hey, I'm lost out here. I need some.
• 3:36:19
  I need something to do like you can make all these business
• 3:36:21
  deals, but that's not going to bring you the fame that you was
• 3:36:24
  getting for the Dallas Mavericks.
• 3:36:25
  And in regardless to Luca, they had a trade that was the NBA
• 3:36:28
  move, which is the reason why I just circled back around and
• 3:36:30
  they got the number one pick. Like the Lakers needed somebody
• 3:36:34
  young that was going to be the face of the organization because
• 3:36:37
  the Brown was out the door. And you go, you look over there,
• 3:36:39
  Boston got two young stars. So there's no way the league is
• 3:36:43
  just going to allow Boston to have two young stars and the
• 3:36:45
  Lakers don't have none. The the revenues going to go
• 3:36:48
  straight to Boston. But at the end of the day, I I
• 3:36:51
  think that, you know, he just lost.
• 3:36:54
  He thought it was going to be greener on the other side and he
• 3:36:57
  fell for it and took the bait. I don't think they're going to
• 3:36:59
  give him no majority of ownership neither.
• 3:37:01
  I don't think you have enough capital to do that.
• 3:37:02
  Well, it's definitely going to play out, but they they suck.
• 3:37:06
  They're bad, you know, and they were in the title game title.
• 3:37:10
  I'm sorry, the finals. Fighting for a title two years
• 3:37:14
  ago, it's just crazy. Let's get into it's crazy.
• 3:37:18
  They're not going back now. No way, no way.
• 3:37:20
  Not for a while. They got to get lucky this one.
• 3:37:23
  I was talking to Speedy about this earlier, so umpire CB
• 3:37:29
  Buckner, who A lot of people are not huge fans of Ferrell, but
• 3:37:34
  this was an especially tough week.
• 3:37:36
  For Mr. Buckner So starting back on the 28th during a Reds, Red
• 3:37:42
  Sox, Reds game, six out of eight of his strikes were overturned
• 3:37:46
  by the ABS system, including two consecutive strike three calls.
• 3:37:51
  He was at first base a couple of days later and he called the
• 3:37:54
  Brewers Jake Bowers out for missing the bag.
• 3:37:57
  But the replay showed that he clearly had touched the bag,
• 3:38:01
  making the managers just laugh at him.
• 3:38:05
  And then he gets, I believe it was 2 days ago, gets hit with a
• 3:38:09
  foul tip, gets hit so bad I think he got a concussion.
• 3:38:12
  They had to take him out. And.
• 3:38:14
  That's him just kind of being carried off after one of the
• 3:38:17
  worst weeks of work I think an umpire's ever had.
• 3:38:21
  You know, Sands, you know, some of the really bad injuries some
• 3:38:24
  have had over the years. But look, is this the beginning,
• 3:38:28
  Errol, of the true accountability for officials or
• 3:38:33
  is just just this a guy who's got to hang it up, dial it up?
• 3:38:38
  I think he needs to hang it up. Angel Hernandez was he's been
• 3:38:42
  so. Bad over.
• 3:38:43
  The years and finally retires and this has been a.
• 3:38:46
  Big problem. For baseball.
• 3:38:48
  But I, I don't think you need electronical, you know, umpires.
• 3:38:53
  To me, this has been part of the game.
• 3:38:54
  People have made mistakes in the past.
• 3:38:56
  How many times have we seen it? This happens in baseball.
• 3:39:00
  This guy's old. Maybe he need they, maybe they
• 3:39:03
  need to bring some younger umpires into the game.
• 3:39:06
  Obviously he's an educated guy that understands the game.
• 3:39:09
  He just can't see the game. Maybe he's blind, maybe you lost
• 3:39:12
  some eyesight. Maybe he doesn't know the game
• 3:39:14
  like he used to know the game. This is, we have had umpires on
• 3:39:17
  the show. They said it's not easy.
• 3:39:19
  You don't see everything. Sometimes you're blindsided and
• 3:39:22
  and you take responsibility after the fact.
• 3:39:25
  Unfortunately, the managers and, and, and what you see on now,
• 3:39:30
  there's so much instant replay. You can see everything on social
• 3:39:33
  media. It's right in front of you.
• 3:39:35
  It's unfortunate because you're screwed.
• 3:39:37
  This isn't the 60's, the 70s and 80s 80s where you don't, you
• 3:39:41
  don't have a, a, what are they called a Megatron or whatever
• 3:39:43
  that jumbo Tron, jumbo Tron or something like that.
• 3:39:45
  You could see every single play 24 hours a day and and you could
• 3:39:49
  watch it on television. I It's unfortunate, but it
• 3:39:52
  happens. Yeah, we talked about a few
• 3:39:54
  weeks ago with the the Twins incident with Debra Shelton.
• 3:39:57
  That would last D as last D has another one that's been under a
• 3:39:59
  lot of scrutiny for a while. I think Stevie Buckner's been
• 3:40:01
  making some. Really.
• 3:40:02
  Questionable home play call for a while now.
• 3:40:04
  It hasn't been just this year. He's definitely getting on the
• 3:40:06
  older side. And I'll I'll describe what I
• 3:40:08
  was talking to you earlier, Fish.
• 3:40:09
  Maybe these these older umpires, they already know they're going
• 3:40:12
  to be clown as it is and you hear you hear the organ music
• 3:40:16
  mocking them. A lot of the time these umpires,
• 3:40:18
  if they get these calls wrong or they get a call overturned and
• 3:40:20
  maybe he's just going on with it like a publicity, he's going to
• 3:40:23
  be probably retiring suit anyway.
• 3:40:24
  They should, why not roll with, they should just walk away and
• 3:40:28
  and try to stop with these electronical umpires or whatever
• 3:40:31
  they call the ABS, because what it's doing is it's.
• 3:40:34
  It's now getting the younger fans to say, you know what, we
• 3:40:37
  don't need umpires anymore. Let's use robotic embolisms or
• 3:40:41
  whatever the hell it is. We don't need it anymore and
• 3:40:44
  it's ruining the game because what makes the game so special
• 3:40:48
  is it's base. It's.
• 3:40:49
  It's. America's pastime and now all of
• 3:40:52
  a sudden you're pushing away the most important thing that makes
• 3:40:55
  baseball stick out, and that's umpires.
• 3:40:57
  And now you're just saying, oh, you know what, we're just going
• 3:40:59
  to use computer systems, we're just going to go automatic
• 3:41:02
  strike zones and all that other stuff.
• 3:41:04
  It doesn't help the game of baseball.
• 3:41:05
  Yeah, it's. It's not unfortunately going to
• 3:41:07
  be stuck there for a while as these other sports continue to
• 3:41:09
  advance in what the international sports been kind
• 3:41:11
  of ahead of the curve with some of the systems they have with
• 3:41:13
  tennis with. Soccer, a lot of that stuff, but
• 3:41:17
  again, now baseball's trying to do it, and they're trying to be
• 3:41:19
  a traditionalist at the same time, being a young thing.
• 3:41:20
  And that's where you have these conflicts.
• 3:41:22
  All right, last story of the night, boys.
• 3:41:24
  We got one last thing here, and here it is.
• 3:41:29
  Oh, man, I told you it was going to be a doozy.
• 3:41:31
  Arrow. When I told you I didn't.
• 3:41:32
  Want to tell you more about it, but did you hear about the
• 3:41:36
  quadruple amputee cornhole champion who was arrested for
• 3:41:45
  murdering his teammate? And then?
• 3:41:48
  With his. Other two teammates in the van
• 3:41:52
  drove off with the dead body and eventually dumped it off
• 3:41:56
  somewhere. Again, has no arms, no legs.
• 3:42:00
  Quadruple amputee cornhole player arrested for murder.
• 3:42:02
  Here's the story. Then the guy who has been
• 3:42:05
  documented multiple times on ESPN.
• 3:42:08
  Because of how? Amazing his ability to play
• 3:42:10
  cornhole with no arms or legs. Mr. Weber, obviously.
• 3:42:16
  What's his full name? I don't have his full name.
• 3:42:18
  Well Weber, he was in a Tesla where he shot the guy who had an
• 3:42:23
  argument that he allowed his friends borrow his guns and
• 3:42:27
  didn't like that the guy allowed his friends to steal his guns.
• 3:42:31
  Stop letting his friends steal guns.
• 3:42:34
  Well, Mr. Weber said that it was self-defense that he had to kill
• 3:42:38
  this other guy in the car. The other two passengers are not
• 3:42:41
  necessarily going along with his story.
• 3:42:43
  He. Was arrested for first degree
• 3:42:45
  murder, second degree murder and firearms offenses.
• 3:42:49
  They said he's a flight risk because he had fled from
• 3:42:53
  Maryland to Virginia when this happened again, he said he was
• 3:42:57
  acting in self-defense. He is held without bonds
• 3:43:00
  scheduled for his hearing on May 6th.
• 3:43:03
  Errol, when was the last time you had an encounter with a
• 3:43:12
  quadruple amputee, let alone a murderous?
• 3:43:17
  Quadruple amputee. Let alone.
• 3:43:20
  A murderous. Quadruple amputee?

  Somebody it makes look, that's the picture of them doing it.
• 3:43:32
  It's crazy. I mean.
• 3:43:33
  It's absolutely ridiculous. And then you're you're fighting
• 3:43:37
  and arguing about weapons and. That's why you killed him.
• 3:43:40
  None of this story makes any sense.
• 3:43:42
  And you ruin your life. You're you're a champion.
• 3:43:46
  You're, you're a cornhole champion.
• 3:43:47
  You have no arms, no legs. What are you going to do in
• 3:43:50
  jail? I mean, besides be somebody
• 3:43:52
  else's bitch. I, I mean, how are you going to
• 3:43:55
  defend yourself? I see some guns in those.
• 3:43:59
  I mean, how, how does this make any sense?
• 3:44:02
  Well, you'll be playing. Somebody's going to be playing a
• 3:44:04
  lot of cornhole with him. More like.
• 3:44:08
  More like. They'll try to do skeet shooting
• 3:44:10
  and in prison they'll have that kind of lead going so.
• 3:44:20
  I I. You know what?
• 3:44:23
  There's just no words. I think we just need to end it
• 3:44:25
  at. That that was dial it up you.
• 3:44:29
  Definitely can't buy a story if he's that good of a short story.
