Edmonton Oilers not Dead Yet · Sports Exchange

0:22
Good evening, everybody in happy June teenth days. My name is Scott Morgan
0:26
Roth Motor City, Madmouth. This is a sports exchange and we have a
0:29
loaded show tonight. Let me go with the topics and go with the crew.
0:33
We're gonna talk about the Enderton Oiler, Florida Panthers, the NBA Finals.
0:37
We're gonna talk about the in season tournament once upon a time when it
0:40
was actually one of those Gino Wrion was going to make our conversation today,
0:44
we're gonna talk about the Alabama Crimson time. Monty Williams got fired, but
0:48
I don't feel sorry for the guy, Willie Mays. And of course Josh
0:52
Meravich will be on here as well. But that said, let me go
0:55
ahead and introduce the crew right to left. Kady Like, welcome back,
0:59
Thanks, Scott, great to be here, Joe Ellis, welcome back.
1:03
Hey, everybody the other week. Let's do it, all right, man,
1:07
George Icorn, All right, guys, good to see you all.
1:11
All right, let's get to business here. Number one, the Edmonton Oilers,
1:14
who, by the way, should be up three to two in this
1:15
series if it wasn't for the heroics of Sir Gay Vebrovsky in Game one,
1:21
who blanked them to to nothing. You know, here's an interesting record.
1:26
I want people to understand their record after losing three straight games under Chris Knoblock
1:33
from November twenty fourth to December twelfth was eight to o. December twenty first
1:38
or January twenty seventh, they were sixteen and all, and from February twenty
1:44
sixth to March fifth, they were five at all. In other words,
1:47
after streets, they don't like to lose, Katie Ebling, you know,
1:52
the Panthers don't like to lose though, either, And the Panthers, I
2:00
they looked flat the lat on Saturday, yesterday's game yesterday? Was it yesterday's
2:07
game or was it? Yeah, it was yesterday's game. They played,
2:09
they played well, they didn't play well enough to win. Obviously. I
2:15
want to know where their offense was, because their offense seem you know,
2:17
the first couple of games they were taking way more shots than Edmonton. These
2:23
last couple of these last two games, they really haven't, Yes, Sir
2:27
Jey Brabowski, hasn't. He gave up a couple of good He gave up
2:31
a couple of really good goals though, too this last game if you watched,
2:37
the thing that scares me is that Edmonton's even scored on their power plays,
2:39
like and that just shouldn't happen. Like, I don't know, I'm
2:45
I have to say this. I'm kind of scared for Florida because obviously I'm
2:49
rooting for Florida. I'm down here, I live down here, I support
2:53
I want to see them win. But they lost last year and I don't.
3:00
I hate to say it, but I don't know if they're choking under
3:02
pressure or what I mean, or is Edmonton just that much better? Well,
3:07
let's look at the last two games. That's the reason why this series
3:09
continue. As Connor McDavid would say, we're going to drag him back to
3:14
Alberta, That's exactly what they've done. But on Saturday night, Edmonton won
3:17
eight to one. Connor McDavid came up big with that with four points.
3:21
And if that wasn't good enough to five to three win last night, McDavid
3:24
added another four. So as where we're at three two with the game over
3:29
at Rogers Center on Friday night, jb Ella. So you're surprised that Edmonton
3:34
has made a series out of this, not at all. If anything,
3:37
I'm kind of scared for Florida. Worst thing to happen, first of all,
3:40
at any of the pro sports, the one that you could lose,
3:45
the three to zero lead easiest as hockey because everything's dependent on the goalie.
3:50
If you get a hot goalie or a cold goalie, the series could change
3:53
it a second. Edmonton scored eight goals they Game four and then follow it
4:00
up with a win on the road. Now they're going back home for Game
4:02
six. Both teams are traveling a ridiculous amount of distance and time, all
4:09
the pressures on Florida. Edmonton just has to go out there and play their
4:13
game. If they win, they get to play one more. If they
4:16
lose, they were down three nothing, they lost the series. Who cares?
4:19
So they have no pressure whatsoever. Florida, on the other hand,
4:24
has to say, wow, we had this series. Now we're back here.
4:29
If we don't win it here now we're playing a game seven after traveling
4:32
another twenty five miles twenty five hundred plus miles, and you know the pressure
4:39
is all on them right now. If I'm Edmonton, I'm lose some relax.
4:43
I'm just gonna go on and play a game in front of our home
4:45
crowd. What could be better? And if you win, you guarantee a
4:48
winner take all game. I gotta love Edmonton a game six. Oh Joe,
4:54
what you're telling me is you're telling me that Edmonton's playing at as money,
4:57
aren't you? Yep? Okay, George, Well, I had picked
5:03
Florida in six, so that's still possible. But I don't know what's going
5:11
on. I think that, yeah, things are finally caught up with Florida,
5:15
and that's not good because, like you said, the last game was
5:20
a blowout yesterday. They just had their number again. And it's not looking
5:26
good right now because Connor McDavid when he starts scoring, lookout and Scott You're
5:30
right, all those long winning streaks Edmonton had really proved to me that they
5:36
never give up. But I was ever going to give up. So this
5:41
thing is becoming a really real fun series to watch. And the league obviously
5:46
had to add those extra days for travel, which was smart. So it's
5:50
a two day break after each or before each trip. So that being said,
5:56
we're seeing a helb the finals. I'm telling you very excited and I
6:00
would not want to be a panther right now. This is really getting to
6:04
be something special. It could be for Ed Betten. Yeah what twenty four
6:10
hundred and fifty one miles. Yeah, you're right. They had to go
6:12
out there and they had the second day without a doubt. I think the
6:15
one thing in this series that I actually predicted Florida would win it in seven.
6:19
I thought it was going to be a very tough series to begin with.
6:23
You know, let's face reality, you got Donner McDavid, and you
6:26
know, you've got Sam Reinhardt who's gone out with fifty seven goals, and
6:31
Matthew kit Chuck I believe, who's obviously a big factor, and Aaron Ekladd
6:36
and Cerca leb Rosky has been playing some great hockey all year. So with
6:41
all due respect, you know, but the reality is is they're in the
6:43
playoffs. That's what they are, and like Joe says, when it comes
6:48
down to a winner take all, anything's happening. But I'm not going to
6:51
venture. I do predict the Oilers are going to go out there and beat
6:55
Florida Friday night. Then it gets interesting after that, it goes back to
6:59
the same game seven. But I think the biggest thing that I found as
7:02
I was looking up this information. Is when you see a team that's lost
7:05
three in a row and they're putting a five and oh sixty to oh and
7:10
eight to o streaks together in the same season, they don't care. They're
7:15
treating this series it's a regular season winning for all. They're thinking, all
7:19
we need to do. Folks that just win four in a row and that's
7:23
it, not five, not twelve, not sixteen, you know that kind
7:28
of stuff. So you know, four, eight, twelve, whatever,
7:31
I mean, they're not afraid to put together a long winning streaks at all.
7:34
So it's certainly gonna be a heck of a series. And you know
7:39
what, for all those folks that paid fifty dollars for parking over at the
7:43
Panthers Arena, Okay, you had to forgo out another fifty because they're gonna
7:48
gouge on the parking there. And as if the playoffs were right, all
7:53
right, well let's go. The worst part about it is scott As the
7:56
traffic jams we lived. We lived twelve miles away from the Panthers Stadium and
8:01
some of the major expressways that I take to come home and to come south.
8:05
There are a lot of people that are on those expressways as well.
8:09
So I can tell you last night getting home took me a lot longer because
8:13
of the extra traffic. Don't get me wrong, it's great. It's great
8:16
for the community, it's great for the city and for South Florida. But
8:20
it does pose some of us regular is some extra little headaches. That's all
8:24
I'm gonna say. Well, you only may have to worry about it one
8:28
more time because they're not worrying about it up in the Calgary of Alberta,
8:33
Edmonton. All right, Well, let's go from one finals to another.
8:37
The NBA Finals that Dallas Mavericks could not overcome a major obstacle. Teams that
8:41
were down for it to nothing were zero to one fifty six, and Boston
8:46
won the series four to one. Now that number changes to zero in one
8:50
fifty seven. Boston has eighteen championship, the Lakers says seventeen. The other
8:56
reason why the Lakers got the seventeenth is they got it in the bubble.
9:00
So with that said, and let me go over the scores of these games
9:01
too. Can't say that they were the most interesting games with three of the
9:05
five were blowout but Boston won the first one one o seven eighty nine.
9:11
Boston was victorious that with the second one one oh five ninety eight, Boston
9:15
won O six ninety nine and Game three, Game four Dallas one twenty two
9:20
eighty four. Of course Boston said, oh, we'll finish the job at
9:22
home one O six eighty eight. And the only thing that happened with Boston
9:26
was they had the Boston massacre and the ones that were paying the price with
9:30
the Dallas Mavericks. So with that said, Candy will leave it off of
9:33
the again the NBA Finals. Okay, Boston, this team, this city,
9:39
they win championships every decade. But were you surprised at the dominance that
9:43
they had over the Dallas Mavericks. I was, but I suppose I shouldn't
9:48
have been, because Boston won their seventeenth title on June seventeenth. They won
9:54
their eighteenth title on June seventeenth, twenty twenty four, and their area code
10:00
is six seventeen, so that's kind of ironic. Al Horford, it's his
10:05
first Dominican player in NBA history to win a title. Drew Holliday is the
10:09
first NBA player when he switches teams his first year on a team to win
10:16
an NBA Championship twice. He did it with the Bucks, and he did
10:20
it now with the Celtics. Now what I would say is Milwaukee lost out
10:26
on this one because that will that trade to get Damian Lillard and send Drew
10:33
Holiday away bit Milwaukee Bucks in the in the butt, I'll be honest with
10:39
you, because Dame does not have the Granted, Drew does not score like
10:43
Dame does, but Dame does not play defense like Drew does, and you
10:50
need both. And the other thing that Drew Holliday brings that I don't that
10:54
I don't know that anybody else on even the Milwaukee Bucks team brings, is
11:00
the camaraderie, the really you know, he's he is a really good player,
11:05
really good person. The community loved him. He gelled with everybody.
11:13
Uh yeah, I was. I was surprised how big the scores were,
11:20
the differences between the two teams. But it also has to do with being
11:26
healthy at the right time or not being healthy at the right time, and
11:30
being hot, because let's face it, in any sports, when you're hot,
11:35
it's hard, you're hard to beat. Every sports goes through slumps,
11:41
like let's face it, batters go through batting slumps. You know, football
11:46
goes through them, basketball, hockey, they all do. And if you
11:50
are not hitting on all cylinders at the right time, it's it's hard to
11:56
beat anybody. Okay, George, Yeah, yeah, I echo what you
12:01
said. They're candy. I mean, but the Celtics, they're on a
12:05
roll, they're on a mission. They knew it. They haven't been able
12:09
to clinch or exceed Let's say the record by the Lakers that they were tied
12:13
for with the seventeen championships, and now they got number eighteen. And you
12:18
know, they just got a great lineup. Let's be honest. I mean,
12:22
come on, you know Jason Tatum. You look at somebody like that,
12:26
and I knew he was destined to be a star. I knew he
12:28
was best to be a champion. They put a great, great team together,
12:35
a great lineup, winning day in and day out. I think that
12:39
was just an aberration there with Dallas blow him out the game before last,
12:43
and you know, Boston's time was now. Most experts obviously went with Boston
12:50
to win it all, and they were right. You know, I don't
12:52
like to see lopsided series, but every once in a while, you're going
12:56
to have one. Dallas has nothing to be a shame double with a fifth
13:01
seed or something like that in the West. So but Boston Celtics, that
13:05
great r that great tradition like Red Aurbach and Larry Bird and Kevin McHale and
13:11
all those greats that we've seen over the years. This team has to rank
13:15
up there as well. So congratulations. I'm glad it was a team from
13:20
the East because I'm an East guy and I think the Celtics deserved it.
13:24
And hats off to him. Okay, Joe Listen, I coined the phrase
13:30
before the finals, this is Tate Tatum's tainted championship title. Tatum's tated title.
13:39
You know, Dallas could even stay in the same building with them.
13:43
Game four, it was what it was. They had a bad shooting night,
13:46
you know, they sweeping up a winning at five makes no difference.
13:50
They got to win at home, you know, Dallas, they were lucky
13:56
to get there. Give him a lot of credit for beating the eight teams
14:00
in the West, but they weren't going to compete against the Celtics. We
14:03
all knew that, you know, we all hoped that it did be a
14:07
series. You know, it was probably one of the worst playoffs NBA playoffs
14:13
in recent memory. I can't think of any that was this boring in many
14:18
years. But it was what it was. Congratulations to the Celtics. I
14:22
mean, you know, they're one up on the Lakers. Now, good
14:26
for them, But I don't think it would saying much for them to beat
14:31
Dallas if they were really were a challenge. It just was what it was.
14:35
Well, Bob Cousey, who's ninety five years old, said he wants
14:39
to see that eighteenth championship. Bob, you got it. But here's the
14:41
one thing that we have to acknowledge. Number One, Joe Mazzool becomes the
14:46
second youngest coach to win an NBA championship at thirty five, when you had
14:52
Bill Russell who did it. And let's not forget the architect of all of
14:56
this is Brad Stevens, who'd had a coached at Butler coach at the NBA
15:01
for a while and decided to move upstairs out of that workout worked out well
15:05
as he orchestrated a lot of the key trades that enabled you know, the
15:11
Celtics. So when he brought in christ for Zingis as part of the piece,
15:18
and he was able. Of course, he brought in Rue Holliday.
15:20
We already talked about that, and then the other guy that he ended up
15:24
bringing in, you know, we talked about Porzingis. I'm trying to remember.
15:28
Those are the two that stand out. But Rue Holliday and Christops Porzingo
15:33
a lot of role players. You got to have a great front office to
15:37
be able to put these things together. And Brad Stevens that that there's one
15:41
guy that I'm trying to think about the top of my head. It's not
15:43
coming to me. Maybe well later in the show. But with that said,
15:46
Katie wants you to go out there and give a station break. This
15:50

18:23
So also if you want to follow me on Twitter at Tribune South.
18:26
With that said, I'm really happy for Jeff Van Gundy gets the championship ring
18:32
as a senior consultant with the Celtics. And where's he going. He's going
18:34
to be the lead assistant for the LA Clippers and joining Tyron Lieu as well.
18:38
So all right, let's talk about the laughable fact of the day.
18:42
The Lakers lead won and nothing in the nd season Tournament championship. I wish
18:48
I had a round of applause and a laughing thing because that's what it is.
18:52
Garvin Hammond back in Milwaukee as an assistant coach and the Lakers I'm looking
18:56
for a coach, all right, Joe, what do you think about that
19:00
in season tournament? Listen, it's just something to make the NBA regular season
19:04
tournament fun because it's way too long and you can't really shorten the season too
19:11
much. The league did a good thing with that. The winner of it,
19:15
who really cares? I mean, it's, you know, just a
19:18
fun thing to do at the beginning of the year. You know, the
19:23
Lakers can have the lead. There'll be somebody else next year because the Lakers
19:26
are horrible. Who knows. The Celtics, if they wanted to win it,
19:32
could have won it this year. You know, a lot of teams
19:34
could have. Milwaukee, they were good enough, Denver. They just don't
19:40
care about one of the end season tournament. It's you know, it's like
19:44
a meeting list September baseball game with your team's twenty games at of first place.
19:49
Well, you got the best analogy for a tournament I really don't even
19:53
care about. And you know what, I'm not even a comment on it,
19:56
except I don't even care about that didn't see the tournament, and ers
20:00
can hang that pseudo banner up over and what do they call it, crypto
20:04
dot com arena. If you want to have that banner, it's almost like
20:07
a participation trophy. As far as I'm concerned, I don't like it.
20:11
I don't care for it. That's what I think. Joe made his comments.
20:15
I'm done, George Reikrner, is it No. I was not a
20:19
big fan of that tournament either. Of course, Detroit had no factor in
20:25
it at all. But Lakers are not a good team right now. There's
20:27
a lot of tension Lebron. There's a lot of you know, dissension and
20:34
the other thing with Darvin Ham. I just I think that, you know,
20:40
we say it, but it's never going to happen. Grow up Lebron,
20:41
Lebron, and it's not going to happen. But you're right. I
20:45
didn't get anything out of that n season tournament. I know why they did
20:49
it. And JB you know, like he says, they want to get
20:52
some attention early on, and obviously the league wants to have some notoriety back
20:57
in the November early December time frame when college football and pro football is hogging
21:03
all the headlines, but no, it didn't mean anything to me, and
21:08
that would be a banner that I wouldn't even want to look at, to
21:11
be honest with you, if they indeed want to put that up, because
21:15
that means nothing. Yeah, a few extra bucks maybe for some of those
21:18
players, but to me, I yeah, I give them credit, But
21:22
to me, it didn't catch on at all, and I don't know how
21:25
many fans it really did. Well, I'll just say this before I tore
21:29
the candy. Number one, David Stern would be caught dead with it.
21:32
Number two. Okay, if they play old basketball where you're at in the
21:34
defense manners and fans could get used to it, then I don't think you
21:40
need a gimmick like that just to go ahead and keep it interesting during a
21:42
part of the year to begin with, nobody ever pays attention to the NBA
21:45
until Christmas anyways, and then after the first of the year. But that's
21:49
either here, sir. I guess a lot of folks to tell it.
21:52
I don't like it, so all right, Candy, So the NBA season
21:59
is how long they have to do something, because, like George said,
22:03
they're trying to compete for the NFL audience, College football audience. Am I
22:11
am I a fan of it. I'm not a huge fan of the NBA.
22:14
I don't watch a lot of NBA. I'll be completely honest. So
22:17
did I watch the n Season Tournament? No? But do I watch regular
22:19
season games very rarely. So to me, if the NBA wants to spark
22:26
something because they want to change things up because the season is too long and
22:29
so they're trying to do new things, go for it. I'm all for
22:33
you trying to, you know, change up your product a little so that
22:37
more people watch it or see it or whatever. Fine, go right ahead.
22:41
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be part of it anyway, So what
22:45
they do doesn't matter really to me. Does it mean anything that you won
22:49
that n Season Tournament? Well, just breaking rights that you can say that.
22:52
Let's face it, the Florida panthersiat won the President's Cup and didn't win
22:56
the Stanley Cup. So ask them which one more important to them? Ask
23:00
the Lakers, is it more important to win the n Season Tournament or would
23:03
it be more to be NBA champions? So whatever NBA wants to do,
23:10
go right ahead. They're the drama League anyways, so we're that there you
23:15
go. Candy Wallis's picked up a lot of my jargon. You know,
23:18
I call the NBA folks at NDL the National Drama League, and believe me,
23:22
you'll see a lot of Yeah. I got a little bit of a
23:26
smile out of Joe Willis, who is probably the most poker faced individual ever
23:30
been around. I don't know, Scott. The WNBA has got a lot
23:36
of drama. All right, stop George, all right, Well, speaking
23:40
of that, I'm going to get to it. So all right, don't
23:42
you know whatever, Let's talk about the WNBA. Gino Oriama believes that Caitlin
23:47
Clark is being targeted into w NBA. The average attendance, by the way,
23:52
at w NBA games with Caitlin this weekend was seventeen thousand, three hundred
23:56
and thirty seven. All the other games are seven thousand. If that isn't
24:00
good enough, last year the fever went ahead and drew for twenty games.
24:07
You're talking eighty one, three hundred and thirty six and this year eighty two
24:11
thousand, eight hundred and fifty seven for five games. Well, come on,
24:17
folks, I didn't make these numbers up. They are what they are.
24:21
I mean, Caitlin Clark is a real deal. And you know what,
24:23
I believe in Gino. I think he's right, she's a target that
24:26
shouldn't be a target. And I'm not saying that you're not going to play
24:30
hard and mess. But the whole idea is, I don't understand all the
24:33
grief and that she's getting, but if it weren't for her, this league
24:37
would not be on the verge of signing a better TV contract, let alone
24:42
the fact that I think it was a mistake. She's not even on the
24:45
Olympics. But don't get me started there. But Caitlyn Clark and Gino Oriama,
24:49
I'm on point with both of them. Katie. With that said,
24:53
where we go from here, hudos Caitlyn, because to be honest with you,
25:02
people were calling out the hit that Angel put on her the other night,
25:04
and she's like it was a basketball move, like it happens in the
25:08
game. Like she's trying to, from what I can tell, trying to
25:15
be more the normal person like these are. You know, she's not out
25:18
there trying to get all the stardom. Is it happening? Yes, great,
25:23
because honestly, it's a it's she's playing in the WNBA. It's a
25:29
product and that it's a business and she they want more attendance, so they're
25:33
gonna try and do whatever they can to get more attendance, to put more
25:37
attention on the WNBA. So that's great. She's a young and I can't
25:42
even say she's a star yet because she's this is her first year there.
25:48
Did she do well in college? Yes? Did she set records? Yes?
25:52
Is she she's You can kind of almost compare her to Tim Tebow because
25:57
Tim Tebow got all kinds of attention as well, just like Caitlyn's getting and
26:03
not by being a star in the league or anything like that. Is she
26:07
playing okay? She's playing okay. But does she deserve all of this?
26:12
No? Is she has? She asked for all of this? No,
26:17
But you know what's she's part of it, and she's what's drawing people and
26:22
more power to everybody, you know, because she seems like she's pretty level
26:27
headed. If you ask me, yeah, I'll tell you what's Let me
26:32
repeat these attendants numbers, My gosh, I mean this weekend she draws seventeen
26:37
thousand, three hundred and thirty seven and the other game seven thousand and eight,
26:40
did talk about ten thousand difference between them and then, and they've already
26:44
surpassed her attendants total from a year ago in fifteen left games. You can't
26:48
make these numbers up. They are what they are. But that said,
26:51
Joe, let's talk about Geno Orima. Do you agree with them? And
26:55
let's talk about the Caitlyn Clark effect. So she's definitely being targeted. Does
26:59
a lot of jealousy of her? Listen, she's a really good basketball player?
27:04
Is she the best player of the WNBA? I don't watch enough of
27:08
it to know, but I think she's really good. I think that there
27:12
are better players that have played before her. I think there are better people
27:17
in the league now. Do I think she's handled herself the best she could
27:22
under the circumstances with everything that happens she's brought up. I think she's a
27:27
rock star for it. Do I like Kately Clark? Absolutely not? But
27:32
you know what, I have nothing but respect for how she's handled herself.
27:36
The fact that she's become the face of the league and has to put up
27:41
with all of with drama about everything. You know, the poor woman can't
27:47
do anything without drama. She gets selected to play in the Olympics, so
27:51
that's you know, everyone talks about that for how long now dead Angel Reeves
27:56
fouls her on a basketball play, so everyone goes you know, they're targeting
28:00
her in this instance where I think it was just a basketball play and they
28:04
do have a history, the two of them. But you know, Angel
28:10
Reese wants to play professional basketball. She's not gonna do something stupid like that
28:14
of the court. You know, the girl, the girl knows. She's
28:17
also handled herself well when everything that's happened. But you know, I got
28:22
to give Katelyn Clark a lot of credit for how she handles herself, what
28:26
she does. And you know, we'll see what We'll see what the future
28:30
holds if she turns out to be the star that everyone's putting on her,
28:34
or you know, if she doesn't live up to the hype. But either
28:38
way, it's great for the league. It's bringing plenty of numbers and more
28:42
power to them. Yeah. Way, I look at Daitlin Clark thus far,
28:47
she's the best thing that's happened in that league in ages, that's for
28:49
sure, and she'll be the reason why they continue to expand as that league
28:53
continues to get more and more popular and need somebody like her to be the
28:57
you know, obviously the core player that is a drawing card. Go ahead,
29:00
George, Well, I agree with some of the things that have been
29:07
said. I think she has been a target, but a lot of rookies
29:11
are targets in every sport. Hey, rook hi, rook go prove yourself.
29:17
You know, baseball, basketball, football, hockey, whatever it is.
29:21
Rookies have to prove themselves. But she's a different rookie. What she
29:25
accomplished her the last couple of years at Iowa and put women's basketball back on
29:30
the map when somebody like her came along and grabbed the headlines. And you're
29:36
right, the attendance has been through the roof, outstanding attendance for the WNBA
29:41
in this new season. But yeah, I think they're testing her metal.
29:45
I think they're challenging her. Established stars in the league and even some rookies
29:51
going up against her. They want to see what she's made out of.
29:55
And obviously they don't want her to win because they're not on our team.
29:57
That goes without saying, come, we don't need hacker, follow we don't
30:00
know a hack A shack. We don't need her to be you know,
30:04
bloody down the floor and stupid stuff like that. But what we are seeing
30:10
is an effect, a chance to see, hey, how tough is this
30:14
lady? How tough can she play this game? So, whether it's early
30:18
in the season and maybe it gets a little bit better, I think that
30:22
if she's doing well, she's handling herself well, you don't want to get
30:26
into a match where you're condemning each other and making fun of each other and
30:33
having that kind of stuff hang over the league. So I think it's it's
30:37
it's a it's an attempt by some to challenge her see what she's really made
30:41
out of. But I agree. I mean, she's been phenomenal for the
30:45
league this far. Thus far, all right, Candy wants you to put
30:48
your piece of information up there for everybody here. I like this. This
30:51
is pretty good. Sunday's matchup between Clark's Indiana Fever and Reese's Chicago Sky had
30:56
an average of two point two five million viewers and CBS, drawing the largest
31:02
audience of the season and becoming the most watched WNBA game in twenty three years.
31:07
John Lewis of Sports Media watch reports. So there you go. Can
31:11
I tell you she's a drawing card on TV and at the gate. All
31:15
right, let's shift our way to the National Football League. We talked about
31:19
this on Inside the Pics and I thought it was worth for bringing it up
31:25
again. The Alabama Crimson Tide rolls into Detroit. You got Jamison Williams,
31:30
Tamar Gibbs, Brian Branch and Terry and Arnold. Here's the thing. When
31:34
you have luck, you go to one school, you must go back again.
31:38
And the Lions have certainly found a way to utilize the Alabama Crimson Tide
31:44
as a way or a good source to get good players. You got four
31:48
of them here. So, George, you're in Metro Detroit. When her
31:52
talks about the Crimson Tide and those four players rolling into Metro Detroit, well,
31:59
I know my nieces, both of them attended University of Alabama and live
32:04
in this area, are very happy for that. Nick Saban has done a
32:08
tremendous job coaching players and and and me, you know, making them better
32:14
people, making them better people on the football, on the grid iron and
32:16
off the grid iron. It doesn't surprise me, like you said, Scott,
32:21
once you start something and it works out. Hey go back to that
32:24
well again, and the Lions are no different than any other team. Dan
32:30
Campbell sees great greatness out of these players and the two that were drafted,
32:34
the four of them all together, it's it's it's he's building that team,
32:37
but he's building it with success and with winners. Those young men were winners
32:44
on the court, on the grid iron. So this doesn't surprise me.
32:49
Yet to some it may look like it's little favoritism. Oh why did he
32:52
pick four Michigan players, Well, he got Hutchinson. Uh. But the
32:55
fact of the matter is is, like I said, when you've got a
32:58
winning program at your life was established by Saban down there at Alabama, you're
33:04
going to have a lot of young men drafted and helping out teams in the
33:09
NFL. It is rather different for Detroit to rely on the Alabama connection.
33:15
But I think so far, so good, and they hope for they hope
33:19
to strike it again with the twenty four season around the corner. Yeah,
33:23
very good. YEA, let's say reality. We know the upside was offensive
33:28
players like Jamira Gibbson, Jamis and Williams. Well, let's not sell Bryan
33:31
Branch shortened Terry and Arnold as love Joe, what are your thoughts about one
33:36
team going back to another college to be able to produce some first class players
33:39
like the Lions have done with at the University of Alabama. So, I
33:45
mean, if you look at a lot of teams, they have a lot
33:47
of guys from Alababa. They you know, how many people for the University
33:52
of Alabama or plague in the NFL. So it's not just the Lions.
33:58
That really comes down to what Nick Saban did with the program, you know,
34:01
the way he ran it for all the years while he was there,
34:05
the you know, the quality of recruits he got and how he turned them
34:08
into formidable players as they developed, you know. And for the Lions,
34:14
they've done a great job with who they've drafted. Picking four guys from a
34:19
quality program that were playing under an NFL style coach at college is not a
34:23
bad thing, you know. That's why the Lions have gotten where they have.
34:27
They've done really well in the front office. You know, I foresee
34:30
them continue to continue to do well. Candy, let's put a little perspective
34:37
on this. At the beginning of the twenty twenty three to twenty four season,
34:42
Alabama led all schools with fifty seven former players on active rosters in the
34:47
NFL. The University of Alabama football program had ten total former players selected in
34:54
the twenty twenty four NFL Draft and a a total of thirty six former Crimson
35:01
Tide players will spot the active roster, practice squad, or injured reserve of
35:06
their respective team looking to make another run of the Super Bowl. The Philadelphia
35:10
Eagles have the most tied alumni of any roster in the postseason, with seven
35:16
as of January of last year. So Alabama, let's face it, they
35:23
have had a historic program and results for many years, and who wouldn't as
35:31
a team want to be a part of that and have some of that success
35:36
translate to the NFL and onto their team. So kudos to Detroit. I
35:45
would probably say there's probably a couple of different programs that you would want.
35:50
Obviously Alabama would be one, Michigan would probably be another one that you guys
35:54
that a lot of your former players went on to the NFL. There's probably
36:00
a couple of other big ones, but Alabama for the longest time was one
36:05
of the one of the most historic that I would say with Nick Saban and
36:09
their former players. Now we'll see now that Nick Saban has retired, if
36:15
that continues to be the case for years to come. Yeah, when the
36:20
Miami Hurricanes are right, you know, and I've seen their pro days down
36:23
there, you get an awful lot of scouts there. I mean, Miami
36:27
Hurricanes produce tons and tons of NFL prospects, that's for sure. Hey,
36:31
Mark, good evening. Glad to have you on here tonight. Mark.
36:36
Obviously they have a lot of fun with them on Monday Night. Joe gets
36:39
them too, don't you over on the sidelines forwards? Yeah, this shows
36:44
on our network. Does a great job, hard work guy. Gotta love
36:47
what he does. Oh, Mark, I actually met Mark over at the
36:52
Baseball Hall of Fame, although I met him on Twitter and then we connected
36:55
the Baseball Hall of Fame. He's been a picture with us, and I'm
36:58
glad he's doing some good things as well. Thanks for being in here,
37:00
Mark, We appreciate you very much. So. Yeah, but I think
37:02
when the Miami Hurricanes are right, they produced a lot of players. And
37:06
I was at the recent pro day. My gosh, you saw the scouts
37:08
there and I again we're talking, let's say the reality. You know,
37:14
when you look at other schools, you know, US season other one when
37:17
they're right. So I'm not going to get into all that. Butio Ohio
37:22
State too. Yeah yeah, but Alabama. The Lions have found a good
37:27
source over there to get players. And I've always said, you can run
37:30
to the well. You run to the well. Everybody have a chance to
37:34
comment on this. Yep, yep, okay, very good. Well let's
37:38
stay in Detroit, shall we. Okay, but this one, this guy
37:43
here has the greatest agent. He's way better than Bobby Vania. I never
37:46
thought i'd see the day. But Monty Williams got fired by the Pistons Tom
37:52
gorez osim sixty five million dollars. If that wasn't good enough, he got
37:57
fired by the Phoenix Suns. So this guy get eighty five million dollars to
38:00
stay at home? My goodness, please, okay, find me an agent
38:06
like this. I need an agent eighty five million dollars to stay at home.
38:10
And actually I think that leading candidate for that job is probably gonna be
38:15
Jane Farrego. Anyways, That's why I think I'll ultimately get it. But
38:17
with that said, Candy, Monty Williams. This isn't Monty Hall. We're
38:22
talking Monty Williams. Let's make a deal or let's stay home. Oh I
38:27
had to get that money haul on and I really really did. And there's
38:30
no better places start than money Walliams flash money all right, Candy, Honestly,
38:35
do you really feel bad for him? I mean, I hate to
38:37
say this, but the Pistons are not u Oh. I want that job.
38:43
I want that job. Organization. I'm sorry, they're they're not.
38:49
I've rolled in a long time. They have been rolev in a long time.
38:52
Say it I used exactly. So why I mean, if for him,
38:57
why would he be upset at this point? Like you're gonna get and
39:00
you're not. You don't have to have the headaches that you have with that
39:02
organization, you know. I will say one thing though, in today's sports
39:12
arena, in all of the different sports, if you don't produce results and
39:19
produce them quickly, you will be out quickly. They are getting quicker and
39:22
quicker with pulling the hooks on these coaches managers all around all the different respective
39:30
leagues. You know, if you don't have the results that they want,
39:35
they're going to be quick to pull you. And money obviously doesn't seem to
39:39
be an object because look at they're paying sixty five million. There there's other
39:45
I mean, the Bucks are paying how many coaches right now that aren't coaching
39:50
the Milwaukee Bucks, so you know they can all I want one of those
39:55
contracts. I'll take it just for a year, you know, and then
39:59
I'm you have billion dollar owners that can eat George right. Oh man,
40:07
I'll tell you I don't. I don't. I'm not a Tom Gorris fan.
40:13
I wonder about him sometimes. You know, this whole situation in Detroit
40:17
has been nothing but one rebuild after another. The Pistons have gone nowhere,
40:22
one of the worst teams in the league the last half dozen years. It's
40:27
just been an incredibly inept situation. Then you spend all that money to lure
40:31
him over here after Phoenix let him go, and you gave him a ton
40:36
of money. Like you guys said right now, you know, Detroit is
40:39
still a laughing stock. I don't think he had a clue as to how
40:45
to get that team motivated to win, how to get that team to uh
40:50
place of defense, which obviously we know is a bygone era for the NBA.
40:54
Right now, learn how to play defense. But Moni, yeah money
41:00
running to the bank with all that cash. But I feel most sorry for
41:02
the fans. Obviously they got rid of Troy Weaver, the general manager.
41:07
Now they got rid of their head coach, and it's a situation where the
41:10
rebuild is continuing. But the fact is is that on a personal note,
41:16
we hope that his wife is feeling better because originally Moni was going to take
41:22
off a year from coaching until Gore has lured him back to be with his
41:29
wife who's suffering from some cancer. So all kidding aside, I mean,
41:35
he's he'll take some time now and help her out. But just been a
41:40
it's been a bust. It's been a really bad situation in Detroit and the
41:45
Pistons. They got ticket one step at a time, and that he wasn't
41:50
part of the He wasn't part of the solution to fix this sad sack team
41:53
right now, Well, would you think about it? I believe the he
41:57
move was made up served within Arn Tellman, Tom Gores, plannunderstand correctly and
42:00
Trajan le England. All he did was really deliver the news, is what
42:05
he did. He was just a messager in this case. But you know,
42:08
I think now Trajan has an opportunity to bring his own guy in.
42:13
And you know, yeah, this rebuild seems to have taken a lot longer.
42:15
Other teams are getting it done towards three years, but Troy, we
42:19
were kept just missing one draft choice after No, he can't do that.
42:22
This guy's never going to get another general manager job and money. Probably Derrickt's
42:27
got eighty five million dollars. So hey, honey, babes, I need
42:30
to tell you this. You know, I wish that could have been here
42:31
one year, but I'm not going to apologize to get another sixty five million
42:36
dollars and how much he got paid for fourteen wins out of that salary and
42:39
beyond my mathematics realm, I probably have it somewhere, but you know,
42:44
fourteen wins, you know, and and sixty five million dollars ago, Joe,
42:50
I'm telling you, not bad, is it? You know, when
42:53
you look at the NBA salary structure, even for coaches, I'd believe,
43:00
well, what what what a job? They should? Really? You know,
43:05
every one of the players should call Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Doctor
43:09
j and Michael Jordan. Every day, it's say thank you because you know
43:15
those four of them, you know, were when the league kind of transformed,
43:19
they got saved. Granted, Bird and Magic were the two most important
43:22
because there was a rivalry there. But eighty five million to sit at home.
43:30
Good for him, you know, And George, you can't motivate players
43:34
that are making sixty million a year, thirty million a year. They just
43:37
got to want to win. You know, you're not going to motivate somebody
43:39
who's getting thirty million if you're not motivated already so you can get another thirty
43:44
million. What can I say to you that that's going to make you motivated,
43:47
George. Nothing. You know, it's a shame that you know that
43:53
Detroit's tried. They've had a lot of early draft picks. They have talent
43:59
that just are a plague basketball. Maybe with the pieces don't fit well together.
44:04
You know, I don't think it would matter who coached them. They
44:07
could you know, rotate us in there. You know, we may be
44:09
able to get fourteen wins and they would have saved eighty five million dollars.
44:15
Well, the reality is they played with nothing but rookies last year to begin
44:19
with, So Manti Williams didn't have an answer. They certainly needed veterans in
44:22
there. Troy Weaver didn't do anything else. But you know what, Joe,
44:25
I'm really glad you brought up Larry and Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and
44:30
Michael Jordan and the rest, because you know what I think these players today
44:35
are. You know, why do you think Charles Barkley's retiring? He's sick
44:37
and tired of watching all this anyway, And we'll talk about Charles probably next
44:40
week a bit more detailed, but I'm bringing that up as well, just
44:45
kind of as a reminder. But the reality is, does didn't they make
44:47
you think about the NFL where they don't have guaranteed contracts and make you wonder?
44:52
I mean, you're never gonna get around it now with hockey okay,
44:55
which now will put a lot of stock and they're guaranteed contract because they're down
45:00
on the food chain in terms of the salary cap. Fourth. But then
45:02
you have the NBA and MLB, you know, and you know, again
45:07
we all know that the ratings are down in the NBA to begin with because
45:10
the style will play. But this is just another reason where you know,
45:15
I think at some point the owners are going to have to have a cap
45:17
on coaches what you can pay them. I think that's inevitable what you might
45:21
see down the road. But now I'm glad, Joe that you did bring
45:24
up Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. If it weren't for them, the NBA
45:28
would be broke. Anyways, you know, once upon a time this league
45:31
was on tape away. I can't say what bad though. When I was
45:35
working at the Highland House years ago in the kitchen because I used to get
45:38
off at ten thirty eleven o'clock and watching teams at eleven thirties, it really
45:43
didn't bother me. It was unbelievable. Sorry, well, you know what.
45:47
Final topic of the night. Fortunately I have to talk about it.
45:51
Willie May has passed away at the age of ninety three, two days before
45:54
the game between the Giants and the Saint Louis Colonels to honor the Negro leagues
45:59
that liquid field Birmingham, Alabama tomorrow. Well, you know what, Joe,
46:05
last few weeks have been very good. We've lost Bill Walton, Jerry
46:07
West and now we've lost Willie May. Say what you want about O.
46:12
J. Simpson, Okay, but he was a big name that we lost
46:15
here. And if you're a Rocky pan Carl Weathers went down. This has
46:17
been rough, Joe, Willie May's to say, Hey, kid didn't say
46:21
anything anymore, unfortunately, But you know what, he was the oldest living
46:24
Hall of Famer and now unfortunately taking upon us. But the only thing about
46:30
him is at least he passed away in his sleep peacefully, so got rest
46:35
in peace. Woolly, he'll certainly be messed in. I'm glad I've had
46:37
a chance to see your black over coopers now, Joe, take it from
46:40
their police. I mean, you could argue that he could possibly be the
46:45
best Major League Baseball player in history. The fact that you could say that
46:50
about somebody says it all. I mean, you have people like Babe Ruth,
46:55
Hey Karon, you know Otani Willie Mays. Can you imagine he possibly
47:04
is the greatest of all time? And you if you made that argument to
47:07
me, I can't say you're wrong because he did everything. So you know,
47:14
it's a shame. He loved the game. He was around the game
47:16
for many years. He was the godfather that the Barry Bonds. You know,
47:22
he unbelievable fielder, could hit for average, could hit for power.
47:28
He was a leader. You know, he played in the Negro leagues.
47:34
He played when it wasn't easy for an African American to play in Major League
47:37
Baseball, and you know, just unbelievable. I wish I could have seen
47:43
him play, you know, But all I could say is I've heard how
47:45
great he was, and looking at everything I've seen and everything I've read,
47:51
I can't disagree. He's definitely one of the top three of all time.
47:54
Oh I saw him play when I was a kid, But don't remember on
47:58
Candy, Let's go back to the Mark, Mary Tim and I really liked
48:00
this one from Mark. Thanks for putting it in their NFL is kicking around
48:04
specific NFL excuse is kicking around a specific celar camp for kivs. So on
48:08
a good point. Yeah, I think the quarterback situation is getting a way
48:13
out of control as I thought. Sorry, George, what about willing to
48:15
say hey kid? Oh yeah, say hey kid? What a great career?
48:21
Number twenty four the Giants? Oh my goodness, I mean you're talking
48:25
about an arrow When we had Mickey Mantle and jose Ahmaggio, and we had
48:30
Al Kline and Ernie Banks and fans could identify. They could identify quickly with
48:36
one of their superstars, or in the case of some teams, multiple superstars.
48:42
Bob Gibson, a Lou Rock with the Cardinals. The list goes on
48:45
and on and on. But I think he was the most complete best player
48:51
in all time history. His defense, his offense is hitting, you know,
48:57
his running, I mean, he's phenomenal. I know, I really
49:00
enjoyed hearing about him. I couldn't. I did not follow him. I
49:05
was a little too young. But just a great man, a great career
49:08
and our dear friend Scott Ernie Harwell, I know he spoke really highly to
49:14
us about about Willie Mays, you know, and uh being one of his
49:19
all time favorites, and uh, no question about it. It's ironic that
49:22
it's happened two days before the game back to Alabama, Uh you know where
49:30
he started and uh rick Wood Stadium. But hats off to a great man
49:35
and a great human being and the most complete complete player I've seen in MLB
49:40
history. Yeah, Ernie Harwell used to tell me all the time that he
49:44
always thought that Willie Mays was the all time guest. I don't know if
49:46
he how much he saw Babe Ruth and Louke Garrett and the respect It'd be
49:50
hard hard to argue against Willie Mays. The guy can make circus catches the
49:53
way that he did. And let's face really, he started with the New
49:58
York Giants, with the San Francisco, finishes with the New York match so
50:00
and he is actually a contributor on that nineteen seventy three World Series team that
50:05
went all the way to the World Series but loss of the Open A's.
50:07
With that said, Candy, I know that Willie may have been a little
50:12
bit before your time, but I'm sure you got something that you can add
50:15
to this. May's spent twenty one seasons with the Giants, winning a World
50:21
Series, a staggering twelve gold gloves, and a pair of MVPs. He
50:30
also, obviously, the fans, were at Rickwood Field, attending a Major
50:35
League game in May's native state of Alabama. Reacting to the news, all
50:40
of Major League Baseball is in morning today as we are gathered at the very
50:45
ballpark where a career and a legacy like no other began. MLB Commissioner Rob
50:51
Manfred said in a statement, Willie Mays took his all around brilliance, from
50:57
the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro American League to the historic Giants franchise from
51:06
coast to coast in New York and San Francisco. Willie inspired generations of players
51:15
and fans as the game grew and truly earned its place as our national pastime.
51:23
Obviously I didn't see him play, but you you always hear his name
51:29
like Willie Mays. Willie Mays did this in baseball. What he did for
51:34
the game and how he played, There'll be no player like him, you
51:40
know. And it's sad because we, like you said, we have lost
51:45
a lot of named figures in the different respective sports as of late. Yeah,
51:53
we sure have. Yeah, I mean Willie Mays. I always enjoyed
51:58
seeing his paraphernalia over Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. I'm sure Mark Mereday
52:02
can attested that too, since he's been there as well. All I could
52:06
say, Willie Mays, rest in peace. You know you were everything that
52:09
was right about the game. Willie Mays was definitely a part of and it's
52:14
you know, when I heard a couple of days ago he was going to
52:15
be able to make as Oh I think something probably up with Willie and loll
52:20
and be Old. We got the news that we probably hoped that we were
52:22
not going to hear. Hello, Ralph. Glad that you can tune into
52:27
us. So one lastly we'll talk about Unfortunately he had to have a couple
52:30
of rips at the very end. But it's a very interesting this one here
52:37
is almost like history repeating itself again. Josh Mirivich, the son of Hall
52:42
of Famer Pete Meravich, who died at the age of forty two and nineteen
52:45
eighty eight. Pete died of a heart condition that was undetected at age forty
52:52
and Josh played at LSU. You know what, let me just say this,
52:55
but Elvis Presley died many years ago. I think that there were heart
52:59
issues. I think with his mom years ago in Mesy she prematurely died,
53:04
and then Elvis passed And now we had the same thing with the mirrivig is
53:07
you know what, Josh, rest in peace. You went way too soon.
53:10
It's just unfortunate that you passed away in your forties as well. So
53:15
Kristin pot Shorts take it from there. Yeah, I was surprised, I
53:20
really And it's a shocker anytime you hear a young person like that dying,
53:25
and you know, just an incredible basketball heritage, that family and Pistol Pete,
53:31
what a great, great example he was, And it is sad,
53:36
Scott. It's unfortunate to lose somebody of that, such young tender of an
53:39
age. And my sympathy to the entire Marriviage family and all of basketball.
53:45
And we've had, like you said, so many of these losses lately,
53:49
but they especially hurt when it's a younger person such as and that. That's
53:53
really something that you know, it goes without saying. You know, constantly
53:59
monitor you're saying, situation your health and try to stay on top of it
54:02
as best you can. Especially I know a lot of younger people. They
54:06
don't like to go to the doctor, they don't want to follow through on
54:08
appointments and stuff. You got to stay with it, especially the athletes,
54:13
because you just never know, none of us do. We don't know when
54:15
our time is going to be, but the youngsters of the world especially,
54:21
we've got to make sure that they keep their tabs on their health. And
54:24
obviously any situations, like you said it, Scott, family situations, whether
54:30
it's your father, your mother's background, your grandpa, whatever, So stay
54:35
on top of it and just yeah, stunning news. We're so sorry to
54:38
lose the young Marrivage. Yeah, joshe. I think the one thing about
54:44
this situation is, unlike the high profile names, I don't think a lot
54:46
of this younger generation knows much about the Marriviage family. They really don't.
54:52
With that said, I'll turn over to Joe. Thank you. Yeah,
54:55
you know, it's sad to see somebody die at a young age. Got
55:00
to take your health seriously. I mean that doesn't mean he didn't, but
55:04
you know, for everyone out there, if you know your family has a
55:06
history of something, to get it checked. You know, if you have
55:08
medical coverage, hopefully go go to the doctor, take advantage of that.
55:15
You know, if you don't see what you could do to get some and
55:17
take care of yourself, you'll get to live once and your family will miss
55:22
you if you got true. Okay, Katie, They say these days that
55:31
you get your health from your parents. They used to say you would go
55:36
back even more more generations, but now they're saying it really is just your
55:40
parents. So look at your parents. Talk to your parents, ask them
55:45
what their history is because if you don't have these conversations and don't know,
55:52
then you can't tell your doctors what to look for and stuff as well.
55:55
So yes, go to the doctor, but also talk and community with people,
56:00
because let's face it, so many people these days want to be on
56:04
these things called phones and they don't talk and communicate with people. Communicate,
56:07
ask your parents before it's too late, because I unfortunately, I've had numerous
56:14
people lately, especially in my life, that have lost significant others, whether
56:19
it be a husband or their own dad or mother. And if you don't
56:25
know their history, you can't you don't know what you should be looking for
56:29
and checking for. And the younger generation you need to understand that the habits
56:34
you are forming right now will be will affect your health down the road.
56:39
So develop healthy habits now so that that carries through in the future, because
56:47
let's face it, what we weren't as knowledgeable when we were young of things
56:54
we could eat and should eat and shouldn't eat, and what we should limit
56:58
and what we shouldn't and now we're seeing an epidemic of all kinds of different
57:02
diseases that are you know, astronomically coming to the forefront cancer, heart disease,
57:09
diabetes, and you know, we don't think of all of those that,
57:15
Hey, maybe some of those decisions we made when we were younger we
57:17
shouldn't have made easily enough, you said, cancer, diabetes and heart diseases
57:23
are the disease is the effect of my family throughout the years too. So
57:28
yeah, I mean the heart situation I could relate to. But it's just
57:30
amazing the sad that Pete marriviage guys at the age of forty because of a
57:36
heart problem. Now is SUN forty two not very good? So with that
57:40
said, that concludes just addition to the sports exchange. But we're not done
57:44
yet. So George Raikorn and everybody know how they can get a hold of
57:46
