Speaker 9: ninety three seven FM, Jason Cornelius, Jared Hicks in for Chip.
1:52
Speaker 1: Who's out on doing Chip things.
1:54
Speaker 8: Doing Chip things. I believe just based on the picture
1:58
Speaker 8: I saw, he was at Bill Oliver lunch today, Okay,
2:02
Speaker 8: and I'm guessing that was like his last hoorah before
2:06
Speaker 8: that getting out.
2:08
Speaker 9: If there is is something that is here, there's a
2:14
Speaker 9: lot of institutional memory that is slowly walking out of
2:18
Speaker 9: the door of prime broadcasting. I say slowly some of
2:21
Speaker 9: fifty Fortnyke. But there's a lot of institutional memory that's leaving.
2:25
Speaker 8: No there is, I mean, but you start thinking about
2:29
Speaker 8: I mean, just kind of putting things in perspective. It's
2:33
Speaker 8: we're talking multi decades.
2:35
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, I mean, you and I have.
2:36
Speaker 8: Been doing this for We're in our third deck.
2:41
Speaker 1: We're on multi decades.
2:42
Speaker 8: Yeah, some of the some of these luminaries have been
2:46
Speaker 8: doing that, have done this for five and six decades,
2:51
Speaker 8: and you know it. Unfortunately it's just that time. But
2:57
Speaker 8: obviously I'm sure everyone share with the sentiment and enjoy
3:02
Speaker 8: enjoy the years that you got while you can, because man,
3:05
Speaker 8: once once you can't move around anymore, it's no bueno.
3:08
Speaker 9: So so much going on in the world of sports today.
3:12
Speaker 9: We have ESPN right on right now. Wimbledon is going
3:16
Speaker 9: on this week. Obviously, World Cup soccer is going on
3:19
Speaker 9: this week. As we are now in group stages, nuttage,
3:24
Speaker 9: knockout stage. We're past the group stage. We're back into
3:26
Speaker 9: knockout stages. Happy to see that like the America has
3:30
Speaker 9: made its way onto the knockout stage. They play tomorrow.
3:36
Speaker 9: So many, so many, so many great games going on
3:38
Speaker 9: right there. I'm trying to figure out. And we we
3:41
Speaker 9: kind of touched on how, how and when we are
3:45
Speaker 9: going to dive deep into NBA free agency because and
3:51
Speaker 9: we've been lucky, you and I that how the NBA
3:55
Speaker 9: has started. We joked about how the NBA calendar actually works.
3:57
Speaker 9: But we've been lucky the last couple of years to
3:59
Speaker 9: be on and kind of during NBA free agency and
4:04
Speaker 9: because it's obviously in the summer and to have some
4:07
Speaker 9: stuff to talk about.
4:09
Speaker 1: And the NBA.
4:11
Speaker 9: I kind of missed WOJE because it was nice to
4:14
Speaker 9: see all the woge bombs coming through.
4:19
Speaker 8: Now he has. Brian Windhorse, I have to say, has
4:22
Speaker 8: probably been one of the more measured staying on top
4:25
Speaker 8: of things. He he is out front with when he
4:30
Speaker 8: has told certain things but cannot attest to the validity
4:35
Speaker 8: of them.
4:35
Speaker 1: Uh.
4:36
Speaker 8: I'm speaking primarily on the whole Yiannis to Boston and
4:40
Speaker 8: uh Jalen Brown, which that's going to be a whole
4:43
Speaker 8: topic in and of itself, all the discussion around Jaylen
4:47
Speaker 8: Brown and and what that what that did. But yeah,
4:50
Speaker 8: I mean, but if you talk to a number of
4:53
Speaker 8: the the reporters, especially from the you know, ESPN side,
4:58
Speaker 8: and especially if they have left esp and are at
5:00
Speaker 8: other places. Now, you know, wo Wosh had a way
5:04
Speaker 8: of doing things that really kind of steamrolled some some
5:09
Speaker 8: guys who were doing it the right way and trying
5:11
Speaker 8: to come up uh and and make their bones. And
5:14
Speaker 8: it really wasn't until he stepped away that they were
5:16
Speaker 8: able to to kind of to come into the limelight.
5:18
Speaker 8: And and Sean Sharania is definitely one of those guys.
5:21
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's he is.
5:22
Speaker 9: He has stepped up huge, uh for in this with
5:26
Speaker 9: the opportunities got to be the senior NBA correspondent for ESPN.
5:31
Speaker 8: Sorry, I would hate that lifestyle. I mean, you are
5:34
Speaker 8: you have what two or three phones by your side
5:37
Speaker 8: all the time, and if that thing goes off at
5:40
Speaker 8: three in the morning, you gotta be up and you
5:42
Speaker 8: gotta be working. I just you next to being a realtor,
5:47
Speaker 8: I can't imagine, because more miserable.
5:49
Speaker 1: Because like you you have to like.
5:51
Speaker 8: I'm not making fun of I just know you got
5:53
Speaker 8: I know y'all have to kind of be on call.
5:56
Speaker 8: Like if it's a holiday and a client wants to
5:58
Speaker 8: go look at a house, you gotta go do it.
5:59
Speaker 8: I just oh, man, that just seems terrible.
6:02
Speaker 9: Big thing right now, because again we will we will
6:04
Speaker 9: dive into World Cup. We will my my pick and
6:06
Speaker 9: I'm pretty sure I had Germany.
6:09
Speaker 8: You you had Germany and in one of your picks,
6:11
Speaker 8: well I had, I had the Netherlands. This is one
6:13
Speaker 8: of my picks and they're gone. I will tell you, okay.
6:16
Speaker 8: So just to give everyone an update, because I said
6:18
Speaker 8: we'd figure out something on how we would do our
6:21
Speaker 8: draft picks, because we each drafted five teams to follow
6:25
Speaker 8: in the World Cup. So the way we did the
6:27
Speaker 8: way I did the scoring on this is four group stages.
6:30
Speaker 8: It works the same way as it does UH in
6:32
Speaker 8: the World Cup. You get three points for a win,
6:35
Speaker 8: one point for a draw, and no points for a loss.
6:37
Speaker 8: You do get one point for every goal scored, and
6:40
Speaker 8: then you do get an additional point if your team
6:43
Speaker 8: keeps a clean sheet, i e. You do not let
6:45
Speaker 8: the other team score on you. So Jason the novice
6:51
Speaker 8: when it comes to soccer, uh, and I did this.
6:54
Speaker 8: I did this per match day. Jason came out of
6:59
Speaker 8: the gate just blistering me because he had Mexico Germany, France,
7:04
Speaker 8: Argentina and England. All five teams won. Two of those
7:08
Speaker 8: teams had clean sheets, Mexico and Argentina in that first
7:15
Speaker 8: that we first week of games, and then of course
7:18
Speaker 8: Germany scores seven goals in their first match. So Jason
7:22
Speaker 8: comes out of the gate with thirty six points. I
7:26
Speaker 8: had Brazil, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, and Norway. Norway was the
7:29
Speaker 8: only team who won in week one. Everyone else drew
7:35
Speaker 8: no one Spain had a clean sheet because that was
7:39
Speaker 8: a zero zero draw, so I only end up with
7:43
Speaker 8: sixteen points. The way it is worked out as of
7:46
Speaker 8: right now, now France has taken the pitch and we'll
7:49
Speaker 8: turn that game on here in a minute. I have
7:52
Speaker 8: a one point lead. It is eighty nine to eighty eight.
7:54
Speaker 8: Because now that we are in the knockout stages, wins
7:57
Speaker 8: are worth five points. You still get at one point
8:01
Speaker 8: per goal. So last last or yesterday we both got
8:04
Speaker 8: one point even though both of our teams got knocked
8:07
Speaker 8: out because they each scored one goal. And but France
8:14
Speaker 8: is playing Sweden. I'm I'm worried. I'm worried for my
8:19
Speaker 8: sanctity because I'm pretty sure Imbappe and Dewali are about
8:22
Speaker 8: to go off and put up some monster numbers because
8:26
Speaker 8: it looks like France. France may be the class of
8:28
Speaker 8: this of this World Cup this time.
8:30
Speaker 1: I think so they are.
8:34
Speaker 9: I and and I've been very impressed with with how
8:39
Speaker 9: Mexico is doing.
8:41
Speaker 8: I mean, you're picking Mexico incredible. Pick all three group
8:48
Speaker 8: stage games, multi multi goal games, all shutouts. I when
8:54
Speaker 8: I saw Mexico play Brazil and the friendly here last summer,
8:58
Speaker 8: I was not impressed with what I saw. I didn't think.
9:00
Speaker 8: I didn't and especially kind of leading up. I didn't
9:03
Speaker 8: necessarily think they had what it was going to take
9:05
Speaker 8: to make a run. But honestly, they have showed up it.
9:09
Speaker 8: I'm sure it's helped playing in their country.
9:12
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you were playing at home.
9:14
Speaker 8: They've been playing some pretty really exciting YEP football and
9:20
Speaker 8: so excellent pick by you have a good chance to
9:24
Speaker 8: get to the round of sixteen. Honestly speaking, no.
9:27
Speaker 9: And so, but it has. It has been truly exciting
9:31
Speaker 9: to see how all three host countries have just been.
9:38
Speaker 9: It's it's been a great tournament so far. The play
9:42
Speaker 9: on the on the turf, on the grass has been
9:46
Speaker 9: has been great. You've seen everyone that has come to
9:49
Speaker 9: North America be like just so excited to be here,
9:52
Speaker 9: trying all the like. Everything has been great when it
9:56
Speaker 9: comes to this tournament.
9:57
Speaker 8: And if there was one place I could have been
9:59
Speaker 8: today other than right here, it would have been up
10:02
Speaker 8: in North Texas to be with the Norwegians because that
10:05
Speaker 8: just seems like one of the funnest groups to be around.
10:09
Speaker 8: The Dutch would be the other one they lost last night.
10:11
Speaker 8: I would have loved to have been to have gone
10:13
Speaker 8: up there, although I've heard if you are not physically fit,
10:19
Speaker 8: don't just think you can jump in with the Orange Army,
10:22
Speaker 8: like they were showing some Americans who were like trying
10:25
Speaker 8: to catch their breath to save their life because they
10:28
Speaker 8: didn't realize just how much jumping around and moving the
10:32
Speaker 8: Orange Army does as part of their march to the stadium.
10:36
Speaker 8: So I'm with you. I've loved every second of all
10:42
Speaker 8: all the folks coming in the Tartan Army. I mean,
10:47
Speaker 8: when you out, when you sell more alcohol in one
10:52
Speaker 8: night then you do the previous two weeks combined, just
10:56
Speaker 8: because of the Tartan Army, that shows you something.
10:58
Speaker 9: And I think that and it has been what I
11:02
Speaker 9: believe the World Cup is meant to be. I believe
11:05
Speaker 9: what tournaments like the Olympics is meant to be. It
11:08
Speaker 9: is meant to be a showcase of those coming here,
11:12
Speaker 9: but also us getting to and since they're coming here,
11:15
Speaker 9: us getting to learn more about the different cultures and
11:18
Speaker 9: the different different countries that are coming this way.
11:21
Speaker 1: And so I like that we are.
11:22
Speaker 9: Learning so much about a lot of what these other
11:25
Speaker 9: countries do and what they're able to see. But I
11:27
Speaker 9: also like, as you're seeing, whether it's news reports or
11:32
Speaker 9: if you're watching reels or anything like that, of how
11:35
Speaker 9: interested people like the stadiums that we have. Some of
11:39
Speaker 9: these countries don't even have one stadium like we have,
11:44
Speaker 9: and we've got multiple all the way around, and they're
11:48
Speaker 9: just so impressed with like these giant palaces of stadiums
11:53
Speaker 9: that we have and we're able to showcase and we
11:55
Speaker 9: have somebody. So while soccer, world football isn't as big,
12:00
Speaker 9: and so we're learning how big it is in other countries.
12:03
Speaker 9: They're they're seeing how big sports are come. I love
12:06
Speaker 9: seeing them going to baseball games, yeah, and and enjoying.
12:09
Speaker 8: All that and seeing all I think one of the
12:11
Speaker 8: coolest things was the fact that, uh, nor you had
12:14
Speaker 8: the Norway playing up in uh New York, New Jersey,
12:18
Speaker 8: and you had the Travelers Championship happening in Connecticut, and
12:22
Speaker 8: Victor Hoblin, who was battling with Scotti Scheffler for all
12:26
Speaker 8: four days the Norwegian stayed because of the rain delay
12:30
Speaker 8: on Sunday, the Norwegian, some Norwegians stayed up there so
12:34
Speaker 8: that they could cheer on their fellow countrymen. And frankly,
12:37
Speaker 8: I think that's what helped him win. And I'm a
12:40
Speaker 8: I love Scotti Scheffler, I'm always rooting for him, but
12:43
Speaker 8: this weekend I was kind of pooling for Victor because
12:45
Speaker 8: there is nothing cooler than uh those Vikings just cheering
12:49
Speaker 8: on their their fellow countrymen and doing the row and
12:52
Speaker 8: and all that kind of stuff. So no, I mean, yeah,
12:56
Speaker 8: this is this is what the world the World's most
13:00
Speaker 8: Beautiful Game is all about. Is we all share a passion,
13:05
Speaker 8: we support our country. But I love the fact that,
13:08
Speaker 8: you know, the Japanese fans are celebrating with the brazil
13:11
Speaker 8: fan even after they just lost, and then the brazil
13:14
Speaker 8: fans are taking them upon themselves to do the Japanese
13:16
Speaker 8: fan thing about picking up all the crash I mean,
13:21
Speaker 8: you know, the Tartan army putting traffic cones on all
13:26
Speaker 8: the statues and all the towns that they're in, and
13:29
Speaker 8: and people you know, accepting it and understand learning why
13:34
Speaker 8: they do that kind of thing. I just again, you
13:37
Speaker 8: got it's hard not to get wrapped up in it.
13:39
Speaker 8: And it just shows you that at the end of
13:42
Speaker 8: the day, we all share a passion for sport and
13:48
Speaker 8: it can be a beautiful thing.
13:49
Speaker 9: It absolutely can. The one thing that I'm still very
13:52
Speaker 9: confused on, and that just means we have to do
13:55
Speaker 9: a better job of exporting what a good is, because
14:00
Speaker 9: if I hear one more person from another country talk
14:03
Speaker 9: about how good in and out Burger is, I'm going
14:05
Speaker 9: to look at my mind.
14:06
Speaker 8: I agreed. I would also say I love everyone. I
14:10
Speaker 8: love all the international fans coming in and just being
14:13
Speaker 8: missed or being blown away by what BUCkies is. But
14:16
Speaker 8: I've tried to tell a number of them it's like
14:19
Speaker 8: that's not well, yeah, the barbecue is decent, that's not
14:23
Speaker 8: real good barbecue. If you're if you're in this state
14:26
Speaker 8: or if you're in other parts, there's better barbecue. You
14:29
Speaker 8: should definitely try. But you know it's serviceable. Yeah, that
14:34
Speaker 8: that would be the that would be my one thing
14:36
Speaker 8: is uh, I mean I still don't get I guess
14:40
Speaker 8: with in and out there's just kind of a a
14:43
Speaker 8: steak to it because you see it in popular culture.
14:46
Speaker 1: And I get it. It's one of the you you
14:48
Speaker 1: have to go. But like again, like if you well.
14:52
Speaker 8: It's like raising canes. I'm sorry. Your sauce should not
14:55
Speaker 8: be what dictates why your food is good. Yes, the
14:58
Speaker 8: food itself should be good, right, and that's the.
15:00
Speaker 9: Way I am with But like I shouldn't have to
15:02
Speaker 9: get a burger animal animal style or whatever it is
15:06
Speaker 9: and have all this extra stuff on there.
15:09
Speaker 8: For for me to enjoy your burger exactly, and that
15:11
Speaker 8: is I'm fully on board with that and so yeah,
15:14
Speaker 8: but with that, I will tell you this, if you've
15:16
Speaker 8: ever had a burger overseas, you can kind of see
15:20
Speaker 8: why they were just no. I get that.
15:23
Speaker 9: I've seen some of you see so many things that
15:24
Speaker 9: people are like, oh my god, like this is the.
15:26
Speaker 1: Food y'all having over there?
15:27
Speaker 9: Like I I I have not been lucky enough or
15:32
Speaker 9: to travel overseas yet, and that's obviously something I would
15:35
Speaker 9: like to do. But like Yeah, it's if in and
15:38
Speaker 9: out Burger is the tops of what y'all got. I'm
15:41
Speaker 9: but I'm also not going to go overseas and get
15:43
Speaker 9: a burger.
15:44
Speaker 8: True, but sometimes you're in a train station in York
15:49
Speaker 8: at nine o'clock at night and you don't have Your
15:52
Speaker 8: only choice is Burger King or the Halisle stand. And
15:57
Speaker 8: after looking at the patty on the Burger King sign,
15:59
Speaker 8: I'm one with the hall. Else, I do not rejoice,

Speaker 11: in what you need from the portal, that is I
17:37
Speaker 11: think a winning formula.
17:40
Speaker 6: Well we're gonna find out, but I tell you what
17:42
Speaker 6: I really like it. I'm looking at the roster breakdown
17:46
Speaker 6: what they've done in the portal, bringing in guys like
17:48
Speaker 6: Casey Conceptsi.
17:49
Speaker 1: On the minute he committed here.
17:51
Speaker 6: You know, we talked about him because we'd seen play
17:53
Speaker 6: against Clemson. Yeah, when he's a freshman, you knew that
17:56
Speaker 6: was a big time guy.
17:57
Speaker 8: But he did exceed my expectations.
17:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't think you gonna be I knew he's
18:01
Speaker 6: gonna be really good.
18:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't.
18:03
Speaker 6: Have said, oh yeah, he's all American without a doubt.
18:05
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:06
Speaker 6: But we also we were there at missip Sate Mario
18:10
Speaker 6: Cravy bring him here.
18:11
Speaker 1: He's really good.
18:12
Speaker 8: Also exceeded my expectation.
18:13
Speaker 12: Texacs Live brought to you by David Gardner's Jewelers hang
18:16
Speaker 12: Out weekdays from eight to eleven on The.
18:18
Speaker 13: Zone Tuesday afternoon, Chip Howard Sports Talk Sports Radio eleven.
18:52
Speaker 9: Fifty AM, The Zone ninety three seven FM.
18:56
Speaker 1: Jason Cornelius, Jared.
19:00
Speaker 8: Thank you very much.
19:03
Speaker 9: Oh goodness in for Chip today and so looking at
19:10
Speaker 9: what just happened in Wimbledon, Wimbledon, excuse me, team Wimbledon.
19:16
Speaker 9: Knowing that Lebron has chunked up the deuce to the Lakers.
19:21
Speaker 9: So he's big in news, and we're going to get
19:23
Speaker 9: into a whole lot of NBA free agency breakdown later
19:29
Speaker 9: in the show.
19:30
Speaker 1: I'm just like, so Serena just lost in three.
19:33
Speaker 9: Sets at Wimbledon in a single in singles, her her
19:36
Speaker 9: and Venus are are still double partners.
19:38
Speaker 1: When do they start?
19:39
Speaker 8: That should be going into this weekend.
19:44
Speaker 9: I believe anyway, So she's still going to be playing.
19:47
Speaker 9: Got the three sets and two things on her playing today,
19:51
Speaker 9: one to get to three sets after not really, I
19:54
Speaker 9: mean she's played two tournaments up to this, but still
19:57
Speaker 9: only doubles. This is our first singles attempt since she's
20:02
Speaker 9: I don't want to say announced to come back, but
20:04
Speaker 9: since she's coming back right and made it to three sets,
20:08
Speaker 9: and the first thing about that that was unfortunate. I'm
20:12
Speaker 9: laughing at it, and I shouldn't be that she she
20:14
Speaker 9: played Maya joint and as we're walking into the studio,
20:19
Speaker 9: she win my joint, wins the third set, and like
20:22
Speaker 9: you could see this look of not regret. It was
20:27
Speaker 9: not regret, but it was just this look of she
20:32
Speaker 9: knew that everybody, nobody in that in that on that
20:35
Speaker 9: stage was rooting for her, other than the people that
20:37
Speaker 9: came there to root for her.
20:40
Speaker 8: I mean, you you you said it best. I mean,
20:43
Speaker 8: she was in a no win situation, no matter how
20:46
Speaker 8: you look at this because if she if she loses
20:49
Speaker 8: to Serena, you lose to a forty four year old mother,
20:53
Speaker 8: mother who has not played singles tennis in four years. Yep,
21:03
Speaker 8: I mean it. And you you lose in the early
21:07
Speaker 8: round of Wimbledon, So I mean, you know, you're done
21:10
Speaker 8: with with over two weeks ago. If you win, you
21:13
Speaker 8: kind of kill what might be an an a good
21:18
Speaker 8: comeback story. But ultimately, for the majority of of of
21:23
Speaker 8: Timmis tennis commentators, there weren't high expectations for Serena simply
21:30
Speaker 8: because her the length away from the game, the uh
21:34
Speaker 8: from playing at a competitive level, her age, obviously, the
21:39
Speaker 8: youth that you're going up against, because I mean, you see,
21:41
Speaker 8: I mean you see this definitely on the men's side
21:43
Speaker 8: as well, that despite the fact that you you had
21:47
Speaker 8: the the generation of Federer and uh Nadal and then
21:54
Speaker 8: Jokich comes up and those three guys, I mean, and
21:57
Speaker 8: what's crazy is while those three guys are all considered
22:01
Speaker 8: part of the same generation, there's almost five years difference
22:04
Speaker 8: between them, and so you almost have a decade's worth
22:08
Speaker 8: of distance between Federer and Djokich, who potentially this go
22:14
Speaker 8: round may have a chance to win Wimbledon because the
22:17
Speaker 8: younger talent that it's expected to win is injured and
22:21
Speaker 8: cannot compete in it. But with Serena, you know this,
22:25
Speaker 8: they've talked about, you know, the parallels between say Serena
22:31
Speaker 8: and Lebron and Tom Brady and the highly competitive athletes,
22:36
Speaker 8: like are you doing this because you just want to
22:40
Speaker 8: see if you can? Or are you doing this because
22:43
Speaker 8: you don't know any you know anything else. You get
22:45
Speaker 8: into that regular life and it's like the excitement is
22:48
Speaker 8: not there. What I'm used to is the high stakes
22:53
Speaker 8: level of competition and if I'm not experiencing that, I
22:57
Speaker 8: just don't feel like I'm living well.
22:58
Speaker 9: They talked about that with with and and you still
23:01
Speaker 9: see that with with Michael Jordan, and that was part
23:06
Speaker 9: of why and him, any normal person walks away on
23:14
Speaker 9: the on the follow through that shot in ninety seven
23:18
Speaker 9: when he makes the three pointer over Brian Russell and
23:22
Speaker 9: to win the championship, that is the moment you leave.
23:26
Speaker 1: But he couldn't, like, he couldn't step away from it.
23:29
Speaker 9: And they talked about it with with him, and and
23:34
Speaker 9: it's even why he and Charles Barkley couldn't talk for
23:37
Speaker 9: years is because of the competitive nature that he had
23:39
Speaker 9: with basketball even in the ownership and when it wasn't
23:42
Speaker 9: going well, and Charles called him out for that.
23:44
Speaker 1: That that ended their relationship for years.
23:47
Speaker 9: And Michael's even said now like he's finding the joy
23:52
Speaker 9: of sports as it more of an Yes, he's an
23:55
Speaker 9: orner above the of the fandom of it, and race
23:58
Speaker 9: and NASCAR.
24:00
Speaker 8: A lot of that. You know, listening to that the
24:02
Speaker 8: interview he did with Gayo Kane, which by the way,
24:05
Speaker 8: was so much better than the interview with Mecturico, I
24:10
Speaker 8: don't know, man, you take a one hour interview and
24:12
Speaker 8: you stretch it out over an entire NBA season, That's
24:15
Speaker 8: just wow. Anyway, the what he talked about is the
24:18
Speaker 8: fact when it comes to basketball, when he walks into
24:22
Speaker 8: a basketball arena, it's I'm not being sacrilegious here, I'm
24:28
Speaker 8: just paraphrasing. It's like a god has walked for and
24:34
Speaker 8: so because everyone looks at him like that, Whereas when
24:40
Speaker 8: he's on pitt Row at a NASCAR race, he's just Michael,
24:45
Speaker 8: and he's relaxed, and he's comfortable and and people he's
24:50
Speaker 8: taken pictures with people.
24:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looks like he is actually enjoyed.
24:53
Speaker 8: Enjoying it because it's a it's a sport growing up
24:58
Speaker 8: he loved.
24:59
Speaker 1: He had We talked about that North Carolina is.
25:03
Speaker 8: It's what Texas high school football, or it's what high
25:05
Speaker 8: school football is for Texas is stock car racing. But yeah,
25:09
Speaker 8: I mean, you know that that competitive nature. And I mean,
25:13
Speaker 8: I'm certain you know we can. I don't want to
25:16
Speaker 8: get too far into the weeds the whole gambling thing,
25:18
Speaker 8: but you know that's part of it as well, just
25:20
Speaker 8: just everything has to have stakes to it. And you know,
25:24
Speaker 8: you you talk, I mean, also talk about Kobe. I mean,
25:28
Speaker 8: you can make an argument Kobe probably played at least two,
25:31
Speaker 8: if not three years beyond what he should have and
25:36
Speaker 8: and and so you kind of there to be at
25:41
Speaker 8: that high level, to be the top of the sport,
25:46
Speaker 8: you have to have a certain mindset and obviously you
25:49
Speaker 8: can't just switch that off once your body tells you, hey,
25:55
Speaker 8: you can't do this anymore.
25:56
Speaker 1: Well, and and that's been the other part of it.
25:58
Speaker 9: And why like I think this is so interesting to
26:01
Speaker 9: me even with her, but yeah, with Lebron and he
26:05
Speaker 9: maybe the anomaly of all anomalies because Serena so she
26:11
Speaker 9: hadn't played in four years, so that would have been
26:12
Speaker 9: her like when she was turning forty, and even though
26:16
Speaker 9: she was was at a high level, but she was
26:19
Speaker 9: not the best that she.
26:20
Speaker 8: Had already kind of begun the slide down. She would
26:24
Speaker 8: make it to quarterfinals, semi finals, and even some finals,
26:28
Speaker 8: but then going up against younger, faster talent, she would
26:32
Speaker 8: have issues.
26:33
Speaker 9: And I'm not trying as I'm saying this and that
26:36
Speaker 9: I'm thinking about it, I'm like, no one right now
26:38
Speaker 9: would say also say that Lebron is the best player
26:43
Speaker 9: in the league, but he's like, there's not a if.
26:49
Speaker 8: You can't yeah, I think I know the roads you're
26:52
Speaker 8: going at. You can't deny that what he's been able
26:56
Speaker 8: to do year after year, even if he is the
27:01
Speaker 8: quote third best player on a team in twenty twenty five,
27:07
Speaker 8: but he still put you know, still averaging thirty points
27:09
Speaker 8: a game, ten rebounds, you know, almost tennis.
27:14
Speaker 9: Is And I think that's the funny thing, the funny
27:17
Speaker 9: part about it with him. People were saying he was
27:19
Speaker 9: the third best player on the team or was he
27:22
Speaker 9: just the third option, because I don't think he was
27:24
Speaker 9: the third best player on that team.
27:25
Speaker 8: No, No, I mean, obviously without him, and especially anytime
27:29
Speaker 8: you know, Luca was out or when Austin Reeves was out,
27:32
Speaker 8: that team didn't have a prayer.
27:34
Speaker 1: And yet he was also late.
27:36
Speaker 9: You saw it like when they and they went on
27:37
Speaker 9: that run and he took a step back, but also
27:41
Speaker 9: like they don't win that series without without him, No,
27:44
Speaker 9: and he's and so yeah, and it's just those things
27:47
Speaker 9: like where does how does that? How does that translate?
27:51
Speaker 9: And you and I've I've talked to friends, you watch
27:54
Speaker 9: the the the the stories of that that trendsit and
27:59
Speaker 9: I and I will say this very very lightly. I
28:03
Speaker 9: am not comparing it to the military, but there is
28:08
Speaker 9: that that transition of I've done this thing, and I've
28:12
Speaker 9: done it well, and it is hard to transfer back
28:15
Speaker 9: to civilian life.
28:17
Speaker 8: I think. I think the big difference is the individuality
28:24
Speaker 8: that comes with playing tennis, whereas with Lebron and being
28:27
Speaker 8: being part of a team, you can and obviously over
28:31
Speaker 8: time you learn how to expand your game to fit
28:34
Speaker 8: within a system, whereas in tennis it is you against
28:38
Speaker 8: someone else exactly, and more importantly, you are by yourself.
28:43
Speaker 8: You are not being you're not being coached. There's no
28:46
Speaker 8: necessarily a time out and you know, readjust and all
28:48
Speaker 8: kinds of things. It is it is just you and
28:51
Speaker 8: that that loneliness that comes from playing that sport for
28:55
Speaker 8: so long. And I'm again, I'm not trying to get
28:59
Speaker 8: into the psyche's arena Williams, other than the fact of
29:01
Speaker 8: if she may have just been wanting to see can
29:04
Speaker 8: I do this because she I mean, she's still in
29:06
Speaker 8: phenomenal shape.
29:07
Speaker 14: Yep.
29:08
Speaker 8: She she looked like somebody was taken. She's taking excellent
29:12
Speaker 8: care of her body. I mean, she ra she's kind
29:17
Speaker 8: of like Tiger Woods from the standpoint she took that
29:19
Speaker 8: sport and said, look, if you want, if you're gonna
29:22
Speaker 8: play with me, you're gonna have to be bigger, faster
29:25
Speaker 8: and stronger because this is this is my workout regiment
29:28
Speaker 8: and this is how I'm going to be able to
29:31
Speaker 8: serve at one hundred and twenty miles an hour consistently
29:33
Speaker 8: for over a decade.
29:35
Speaker 9: So yeah, it was it was great to see her
29:37
Speaker 9: out there. And when you when you mentioned like what
29:40
Speaker 9: for for tennis, it is you against somebody else, and
29:43
Speaker 9: I talked about how you you can't hide and with
29:46
Speaker 9: Lebron like you could even see there were possessions of
29:48
Speaker 9: things with Lebron, like his IQ and knowledge helped him
29:54
Speaker 9: not necessarily hide, but adjust what was going on to
29:57
Speaker 9: where he could play longer and play in those games.
30:00
Speaker 9: And I'm wondering as I'm saying this, how it's going
30:02
Speaker 9: to be seeing Serena and Venus in a doubles match,
30:06
Speaker 9: and I think that will allow them to be more
30:08
Speaker 9: successful than either of them have been individually trying to
30:11
Speaker 9: play because you can't like you can play off someone
30:14
Speaker 9: a little bit better.
30:15
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, I agree. I mean again, you're still going
30:18
Speaker 8: to be talking about two middle forty ish old players.
30:23
Speaker 1: Well what Venus is forty six?
30:25
Speaker 9: Forty seven? Now Venus is forty four. Yeah that's but
30:29
Speaker 9: I can see them winning at least one, maybe two rounds.
30:32
Speaker 8: Of the doubles on or two. But yeah, but I
30:34
Speaker 8: mean I can't it well. And it's kind of like
30:37
Speaker 8: when whenever Tiger would play or play in a tournament,
30:40
Speaker 8: even though you knew physically there's no way he's going
30:43
Speaker 8: to win, You're still excited to watch.
30:44
Speaker 1: Probably reminds you absolutely seeing those highlights. I was like,
30:48
Speaker 1: oh she really did look especially that second set.
30:50
Speaker 8: Well, you know again, are you got the World Cup
30:53
Speaker 8: going on. Are you're really going to be watching a
30:54
Speaker 8: first round Wimbledon match?
30:57
Speaker 9: Normally say no, normally not, but that one definitely got
31:00

34:25
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, So.
34:26
Speaker 8: I have to thank you because that one video or
34:28
Speaker 8: that one reel you sent me of the guy listening
34:32
Speaker 8: in the car is like, uh, it's nineteen ninety six.
34:36
Speaker 8: This just came on. That has now that influenced my
34:40
Speaker 8: algorithm for like two or three days, which was kind
34:43
Speaker 8: of nice. Got gotta gotta kind of clean it out
34:47
Speaker 8: after a while, because man, the world kept fans. Man,
34:51
Speaker 8: you start liking some of those and it starts, oh yeah,
34:54
Speaker 8: sending you all of.
34:54
Speaker 1: Them all over the place. When it comes to that.
34:57
Speaker 8: Get you in trouble with the wife. There was some
35:01
Speaker 8: great international fans. I'm just anyway, but yeah, that made
35:07
Speaker 8: me think back to all the ninety seven to nine
35:10
Speaker 8: in the box tracks from that that ninety seven to
35:15
Speaker 8: around two thousand and one, and that's basically once I
35:18
Speaker 8: guess that's when terrestrial radio kind of got turned off
35:21
Speaker 8: and started doing the definitely doing the burn CDs.
35:25
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's well.
35:30
Speaker 9: Dating myself a little bit also because that's when burn
35:33
Speaker 9: CDs was. I remember like when A and M in
35:37
Speaker 9: the computer labs had CD ReadWrite drives. Oh, I was
35:42
Speaker 9: in there non stop burning CDs.
35:44
Speaker 8: So I forget was it a Sony or Pioneer, I
35:48
Speaker 8: can't remember. But I finally got a twelve disc changer
35:54
Speaker 8: that had MP three reading capability, so instead of the
35:59
Speaker 8: standard betwelve fourteen tracks, you could just load up a
36:03
Speaker 8: CDR W with and so basically had the entire my
36:07
Speaker 8: entire m P three library in my truck at one
36:09
Speaker 8: point in time and just skip skip skip skip skip
36:12
Speaker 8: skip the next one, skip skip there it is.
36:15
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking for all that looking for one.
36:20
Speaker 8: Kids, y'all. Y'all have no clue how hard it used
36:23
Speaker 8: to be to find something to listen to, like while driving.
36:28
Speaker 8: You think looking at the phone is dangerous? No, No,
36:32
Speaker 8: The binder with four CDs, which you have doubles, double
36:38
Speaker 8: flipping through, finding it, ejecting, putting in the new one,
36:42
Speaker 8: waiting for to low. Yeah, y'all got no clue how.
36:44
Speaker 9: Danger And it's the funny thing about that is like
36:47
Speaker 9: the we I don't know because you see the reels
36:50
Speaker 9: or you see the jokes about like I don't think
36:51
Speaker 9: people like younger kids that they understand the size of
36:55
Speaker 9: those CD binders like they were gy I had like
37:01
Speaker 9: the three ring like the three I know they make,
37:04
Speaker 9: but because we buy West is like three inch is
37:07
Speaker 9: typically like the largest, Like no, these are like five
37:10
Speaker 9: inch ring binders full of just CD after countless CD
37:15
Speaker 9: and then again once you got to the time that
37:18
Speaker 9: you could burn yours own. That's why you need the
37:20
Speaker 9: bigger one because you buy these, but then you had
37:21
Speaker 9: your mixing, like it was just crazy.
37:24
Speaker 8: I can't say Peyton. I'm sure West is kind of
37:26
Speaker 8: the same way Peyton's binder for school. That thing is
37:30
Speaker 8: comparable as far as side, but weight.
37:33
Speaker 9: Goes yeah, yeah, because yeah, Peyton's over, She's gonna she's
37:37
Speaker 9: as the street now.
37:40
Speaker 1: But so do they have did they have the the
37:42
Speaker 1: an oak?
37:43
Speaker 9: I can't remember if Wesley had like the you had
37:45
Speaker 9: to have it's basically like a briefcase binder.
37:47
Speaker 8: That yeah, but she I mean she kept it in
37:49
Speaker 8: her backpack, but her I mean along with I can't
37:53
Speaker 8: tell you how many other like books. I felt bad.
37:55
Speaker 8: It's like, girl, do you really have to carry this round?
37:57
Speaker 8: And yeah, because even though you get assigned a locker,
38:01
Speaker 8: cannot go to your locker.
38:02
Speaker 9: No, it is and and it's I think it's I
38:05
Speaker 9: think it'll be a little bit better because we noticed
38:08
Speaker 9: that at Oakwood too, like West is like was nowhere
38:11
Speaker 9: near anything, and so I think it's a little bit
38:13
Speaker 9: better at.
38:14
Speaker 8: What I can't imagine because you and I know this
38:18
Speaker 8: growing up, if you had if you still had textbooks,
38:25
Speaker 8: I mean just the sheer, the sheer weight of having
38:30
Speaker 8: because you know, especially at consult, if you're if your
38:34
Speaker 8: locker was in a certain area, you're carrying three textbooks
38:37
Speaker 8: with you because you're not going to have time to
38:38
Speaker 8: go back.
38:39
Speaker 1: Yep, at least three out of yourself.
38:41
Speaker 8: Yeah, you got those three pleasure binder errors. That backpack
38:46
Speaker 8: is probably weighing a good thirty pounds.
38:49
Speaker 9: I can't like and it just like so like the
38:53
Speaker 9: the English or the literature books were like this thing.
38:56
Speaker 9: It's people can't see what going be like like three
39:00
Speaker 9: inches thick for that for for a book that size.
39:02
Speaker 17: And then you've got hardcover, by the way, hardcover and
39:07
Speaker 17: like and I'm saying with the with the butter with
39:10
Speaker 17: the er crossed out crust uh book cover on it, with.
39:15
Speaker 9: The book covering, but no, like the and we talked, Man,
39:18
Speaker 9: I understand it. Now we talk about the the weight
39:21
Speaker 9: of kids backpacks. But I'm looking back, I'm like, what
39:24
Speaker 9: we didn't have a like no, because you heaven forbid,
39:28
Speaker 9: you don't go to your class without that particular textbook
39:31
Speaker 9: because you were going to get in trouble for that,
39:33
Speaker 9: whether we were using it that day.
39:35
Speaker 8: Or or not. And of course we didn't have the
39:39
Speaker 8: Now we'll say this, we didn't have the giant steel
39:43
Speaker 8: stanley or a wall of water jugs.
39:47
Speaker 9: Oh my carry no, ye you you had to you
39:50
Speaker 9: had to decide whether you were going to get water
39:53
Speaker 9: or going to your locker, because you weren't doing both,
39:55
Speaker 9: you both not in.
39:57
Speaker 8: The man, I can't even fathom like the idea of
40:00
Speaker 8: bringing water into a classroom because.
40:03
Speaker 1: Oh, you couldn't.
40:04
Speaker 9: You couldn't, You absolutely couldn't. Even like if you if
40:06
Speaker 9: you had a cup or like if they were I don't.
40:08
Speaker 9: I mean the thermost is that like you couldn't bring
40:11
Speaker 9: it out like that stays in your locker also, and
40:14
Speaker 9: like yeah, that when we it was it was when
40:18
Speaker 9: Wesley was starting elementary and they were like the the
40:22
Speaker 9: water bottle was a requirement, like it was on the
40:25
Speaker 9: list of things to bring. And I'm like, wait a minute,
40:28
Speaker 9: what like this is no, you have to make sure
40:30
Speaker 9: and there's a particular time when they go and fill
40:32
Speaker 9: it up, and huh and and all of these things
40:34
Speaker 9: like this is real life what they do now. It
40:37
Speaker 9: is a requirement to have.
40:38
Speaker 1: That on there.
40:39
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm appreciative because I remember when I was
40:42
Speaker 8: growing up, even though I was probably told to drink
40:45
Speaker 8: plenty of water, never really did drink way too many cokes.
40:50
Speaker 9: I'm very like, so I am very lucky the little
40:53
Speaker 9: like they do not drink a lot of soda.
40:56
Speaker 8: I say, And I haven't met like other other than
40:59
Speaker 8: like restaurants ours are pretty good about that too. It's
41:03
Speaker 8: it's it's especially with Peyton, it's you gotta drink more
41:06
Speaker 8: like during the day, just keep just keep drinking.
41:09
Speaker 9: Yeah, and that yeah, that's it, and that that's a
41:11
Speaker 9: big thing. I because for me it was always like
41:14
Speaker 9: I still buy tons of orange juice and that. Like
41:16
Speaker 9: they're like, no it is They're filling up their water bottle.
41:20
Speaker 8: And I'm like the only one in my house that
41:23
Speaker 8: drinks milk. But oh yeah, but I'm still buying the
41:27
Speaker 8: three gallons a week for just for you, just about
41:31
Speaker 8: for me.
41:32
Speaker 9: Okay, because that's me on oysters because I'm the only
41:34
Speaker 9: one drinking Oorstes and yeah me, I buy the big
41:36
Speaker 9: three gallons of of that. But yeah, it's so it
41:38
Speaker 9: is so weird how much weight goes into those backpacks.
41:44
Speaker 1: Again, going back to.
41:45
Speaker 9: What started this off for us of how big o
41:47
Speaker 9: CD binders yea had to be because again you didn't
41:51
Speaker 9: have Spotify and or the game.
41:54
Speaker 8: I would say the game changer was the Visor CD holder. No,
42:00
Speaker 8: that was that was basically your top ten now was
42:02
Speaker 8: your top ten of course, never factoring in are you
42:09
Speaker 8: doing damage to those and in your hot car in
42:12
Speaker 8: Texas Sun until we tried to take Anne's off of
42:16
Speaker 8: her Ford Explorer and I think three of those CD
42:21
Speaker 8: then they were CDRs, those that pretty well melted into
42:25
Speaker 8: the fabric.
42:28
Speaker 1: I know we have.

43:52
Speaker 18: The Houston Astros struggled by giving up the long ball
43:54
Speaker 18: as the Minnesota Twins got the win last night by
43:57
Speaker 18: a final score of five to four. The first three
43:59
Speaker 18: innings were Wyatt until Minnesota struck first in the top
44:02
Speaker 18: fourth with back to back homers from Victor Karantining and
44:04
Speaker 18: Royce Lewis for a two to nothing lead. Cam Smith
44:07
Speaker 18: would knock one over the fence to cut the lead
44:09
Speaker 18: in half in the fifth, but the Twins responded immediately
44:11
Speaker 18: with another solo homer in the sixth, followed Blaye insurance
44:14
Speaker 18: running the seventh. Houston didn't go down easy as Taylor
44:16
Speaker 18: Tremmell hit this two run homer in the bottom ninth
44:18
Speaker 18: with two outs.
44:19
Speaker 15: Pay offul the way and Trammel scolds this down the
44:23
Speaker 15: right field line towards the poll.
44:25
Speaker 11: That is fair and that is a two run homer
44:28
Speaker 11: for Taylor Trammell.
44:30
Speaker 18: That wouldn't be all as camp Smith homered right behind him,
44:32
Speaker 18: but the Twins somehow held on for the one run win.
44:35
Speaker 18: Game two of the three game series is set for

Speaker 8: Sentence with your really hoping the Tartan Army could stay.
46:02
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, you know thought Scotland had a chance. But
46:05
Speaker 8: when we were watching that match against Brazil the other
46:08
Speaker 8: night and they couldn't score and Brazil just started racking
46:11
Speaker 8: up the goals, I'm like, this does not look good
46:14
Speaker 8: for the Scots And sure enough.
46:18
Speaker 9: Sports Radio eleven fifty am The Zone n FM Jason
46:21
Speaker 9: Corneli's Jared Hicks in for Chip who is out on assignment,
46:27
Speaker 9: spent a lot of time talking about CD racks or
46:29
Speaker 9: CD binders.
46:33
Speaker 8: Speaking of racks, let's talk World Cup for a second.
46:38
Speaker 8: So right now, France and Sweden. Oh, France just scored.
46:42
Speaker 8: Look at you, got you a goal just before halftime.
46:46
Speaker 8: By the way, earlier today Norway won their first knockout
46:55
Speaker 8: match in a long time. They scored today, which is
47:03
Speaker 8: their first time they have scored a World Cup knockout
47:06
Speaker 8: goal since nineteen thirty eight. The scorer of that goal
47:10
Speaker 8: in nineteen thirty eight was Arnie Brustaud, who was born
47:15
Speaker 8: on the same day that the Titanics truck an iceberg
47:18
Speaker 8: in the Atlantic Ocean. Oh wow, that's a long time ago.
47:24
Speaker 8: And now with Earling Holland, they are like ace. I
47:28
Speaker 8: mean honestly this year or this World Cup probably looking
47:35
Speaker 8: and especially based on how their where they sit, they're
47:38
Speaker 8: part of the bracket, probably looking at a quarterfinal. I
47:41
Speaker 8: don't know if they've got enough to make a semifinal.
47:43
Speaker 8: But with Earling Holland, he may and Imbape may overtake
47:49
Speaker 8: Messi for most World Cup goal goals at this World Cup,
47:56
Speaker 8: but I think Earling Holland may end up doing it
47:59
Speaker 8: over the course of his career because the he is,
48:02
Speaker 8: he is the Norwegian Megatron, is just scary, big yeah,
48:06
Speaker 8: and can score anyway. And he got a he got
48:09
Speaker 8: a nice, just easy goal today because he's always in
48:13
Speaker 8: the right place at the right time. You.
48:16
Speaker 9: I mean, the World Cup has been so like we
48:19
Speaker 9: talked about to start, the show has been so fantastic,
48:22
Speaker 9: and now that we are in the knockout stages, because
48:24
Speaker 9: and that's one thing I don't think, at least I
48:27
Speaker 9: had heard that because there were more teams involved, that
48:32
Speaker 9: it may water it down some and I don't think
48:35
Speaker 9: that has been the case at all.
48:37
Speaker 8: I don't. I don't either. I mean, yeah, you had
48:41
Speaker 8: some you had some countries, especially in the group stages,
48:44
Speaker 8: that uh just kind of seemed they were they were
48:48
Speaker 8: happy to be here. Looking at you, Tunisia, you know
48:52
Speaker 8: you fire. I mean, you come to the World Cup,
48:55
Speaker 8: you lose your first match and you fire your coach.
48:57
Speaker 8: That I don't know what you're hoping to achieve by
49:00
Speaker 8: doing that, but whatever. But now, I mean, look at
49:04
Speaker 8: even though they lost today, Ivory Coast or Cote Devoirs,
49:09
Speaker 8: they should be referred to had a stellar run through this.
49:15
Speaker 8: We're gonna see Cape Verde, I believe tomorrow, no on Friday.
49:24
Speaker 8: Now that granted they're gonna have to play Argentina. But
49:27
Speaker 8: you know again, this is why you play the matches.
49:30
Speaker 8: Because yesterday, I promise you this. I promise you this.
49:33
Speaker 8: There were people I don't know if they were in
49:35
Speaker 8: the United States, they definitely weren't in Germany. But I
49:37
Speaker 8: promise you there were people around the world who felt
49:40
Speaker 8: who went ahead and just said I'm going to sleep
49:42
Speaker 8: through Germany Paraguay because there's no way Germany loses this
49:46
Speaker 8: one thing that you ended and if you did, you
49:49
Speaker 8: missed an all time classic Hill, the goalkeeper for Paraguay,
49:55
Speaker 8: was just incredible for almost three hours of competition. So no, yeah,
50:05
Speaker 8: there were there were obviously, just kind of like with
50:08
Speaker 8: the NC Double A, because you know, with the men's tournament,
50:11
Speaker 8: you kind of like the Cinderella stories, but by the
50:13
Speaker 8: time you get to you know, the Sweet sixteen and
50:16
Speaker 8: then to the Elite eate, that's when you want your
50:18
Speaker 8: blue bud blue bloods. You want your big your big
50:21
Speaker 8: powerhouses because you want to see some real competitive basketball.
50:25
Speaker 8: But with this you're seeing it in just about every
50:27
Speaker 8: every well.
50:29
Speaker 9: And the difference between the n C Double A allowing
50:34
Speaker 9: more teams into their tournament and the World Cup, it
50:40
Speaker 9: like the World Cup isn't allowing USA's fourth team in
50:45
Speaker 9: versus in another country that truly wants to be there.
50:48
Speaker 9: If the n C Double A would would would allow
50:50
Speaker 9: that to be what you would hope that it would
50:52
Speaker 9: be on paper that more more mid major teams, other
50:57
Speaker 9: teams that wouldn't normally get in would get in.
51:00
Speaker 1: That would be one thing, But we know.
51:01
Speaker 9: It's going to be the thirteenth SEC team that's going
51:05
Speaker 9: to get in versus something like that. So that's why
51:07
Speaker 9: I'm glad we're seeing this come to fruition and World
51:10
Speaker 9: Cup that each of these teams that may not have
51:13
Speaker 9: gotten in have either put on a show or exceeded
51:19
Speaker 9: expectations are continuing like it's been a great tournament so far.
51:24
Speaker 1: Well.
51:24
Speaker 8: And I mean, you know, FIFA has largely had this
51:27
Speaker 8: eurocentric philosophy forever and obviously because that's where the game
51:34
Speaker 8: originated from. But the fact of the matter is when
51:37
Speaker 8: you see as many of the African nations make it
51:41
Speaker 8: to the knockout exactly that you saw this year. You know,
51:43
Speaker 8: South America has always been strong. Asia is still kind
51:47
Speaker 8: of coming along, but they could be formidable. A lot
51:52
Speaker 8: of that just always kind of comes down to the
51:54
Speaker 8: draw and things like that. You know, I hate say it.
51:59
Speaker 8: Canada is kind of lucky that they made it to
52:01
Speaker 8: the knockout stage and more so that they they won yesterday.
52:05
Speaker 8: But that just again shows you that the western Western
52:08
Speaker 8: hemisphere can play soccer just like the Southern hemisphere or
52:11
Speaker 8: inspect And I'm going back to that to the Afcan
52:14
Speaker 8: nations because you know, that's largely been a neglected group
52:18
Speaker 8: from the World Cup and you're you're seeing it because
52:22
Speaker 8: they've got speed, they've got talent. A lot of those
52:24
Speaker 8: players are playing in in the international clubs and they
52:28
Speaker 8: can play at a high level. You've got you just
52:31
Speaker 8: have to expand expand the tournament to allow for more
52:35
Speaker 8: teams to come in.
52:36
Speaker 9: I think what we're seeing in that also, and I'm
52:39
Speaker 9: glad you pointed out that that FIFA has a eurocentric
52:45
Speaker 9: viewpoint on all that, and I think that is unfortunately
52:48
Speaker 9: because of the clubs, the club sports and the club teams,
52:53
Speaker 9: because there there's no way that you can't say that
52:57
Speaker 9: either the Premier League or or or Bundesliga or any
53:03
Speaker 9: of the year in your Euro club club sports over there,
53:08
Speaker 9: club soccer over there is not superior across the board
53:14
Speaker 9: no matter what.
53:15
Speaker 8: Well I mean just again, what is the major television
53:20
Speaker 8: dollars in the United States goes to what NFL in
53:26
Speaker 8: comparison what Premier League gets globally, what Champions League. So
53:32
Speaker 8: you're getting the best of the best in Europe gets globally.
53:36
Speaker 8: That makes the NFL like a dwarf, I meant dwarfs
53:41
Speaker 8: it and that's because it is this is the global
53:45
Speaker 8: game that more people watch. I mean, MATC. Imagine taking
53:53
Speaker 8: those penalty kicks yesterday, not not only knowing that this
53:57
Speaker 8: has been what you've been working for your whole life.
53:59
Speaker 8: You are you are playing for your country on the
54:01
Speaker 8: biggest stage. You are playing in front of a stadium
54:05
Speaker 8: now with you know, somewhere between sixty to eighty thousand
54:08
Speaker 8: inside of it, and you've got probably close to a
54:12
Speaker 8: billion people around the world watching. I mean that's you
54:16
Speaker 8: know average, even even the Super Bowl, the most you're
54:20
Speaker 8: you're hoping to get with that as one hundred and
54:21
Speaker 8: fifty million on television.
54:24
Speaker 9: Can you just and and that is the obviously we
54:28
Speaker 9: know that, like because we've been on Super Bowl Sunday
54:30
Speaker 9: is now become like the epitome of like it's the
54:35
Speaker 9: mountaintop of sports sports watching.
54:38
Speaker 1: In the in the in the States and the States,
54:40
Speaker 1: and like.
54:41
Speaker 9: And you're right, like that that doesn't even compare to
54:46
Speaker 9: a Champions League final globally and everybody wanting to watch
54:51
Speaker 9: that and what that means.
54:52
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, just to put this in perspective, So
54:56
Speaker 8: when we had the Argentina Ondurs match at Kyle Field,
55:01
Speaker 8: I was on campus for my rotary conference and I
55:05
Speaker 8: went for a run that morning. So I'm running pre
55:07
Speaker 8: six am. They already had security guards posted at every
55:12
Speaker 8: entrance to Kyle Field pre six am because they know,
55:17
Speaker 8: based on what happened in Miami the year before at
55:19
Speaker 8: the Gold Gold Cup match with Ecuador, people will try
55:24
Speaker 8: to sneak in any way they can. I'm not saying
55:28
Speaker 8: that doesn't happen in the NFL, but largely you you're
55:31
Speaker 8: not hearing about that on a even for the Super Bowl,
55:34
Speaker 8: that there are fans crawling through the air ducts of
55:37
Speaker 8: you know, Levi Stadium or whatever, or you know, Mercedes
55:41
Speaker 8: Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
55:44
Speaker 1: But that's not stadium.
55:45
Speaker 9: I know.
55:46
Speaker 14: I know.
55:46
Speaker 8: I was about to say FIFA, you know, Farantino was
55:49
Speaker 8: about to land on top of Crystal Park Claza because
55:52
Speaker 8: I'm calling it Chillette Stadium instead of Boston Stadium, despite
55:55
Speaker 8: the facts in it's in Foxboro, which is forty five
55:57
Speaker 8: minutes outside of Boston, and there's nowhere near anything close
56:01
Speaker 8: that you would want to ever do when you're in
56:03
Speaker 8: the state of Massachusetts anyway. But no, I mean that.
56:06
Speaker 8: But that's that's kind of the fan sanity that that
56:10
Speaker 8: soccer evokes. And again it's it's beautiful. I love it.
56:14
Speaker 8: I'm not I'm not trying to tell America hey, make
56:16
Speaker 8: this your number one sport. But I promise you this
56:19
Speaker 8: and we will talk about it more tomorrow, definitely ahead
56:22
Speaker 8: of the US match tomorrow against Bosnia Hertzvirgonia. We have
56:27
Speaker 8: a chance to do something special this go around. And
56:30
Speaker 8: I was so scared coming into this World Cup that
56:33
Speaker 8: we were going to blow it because of the way
56:34
Speaker 8: the men's national team had been playing over the last
56:37
Speaker 8: two years and the way everything had been managed. We
56:40
Speaker 8: really have an opportunity to to and to set a
56:47
Speaker 8: standard that may pay huge dividends over the next eight
56:53
Speaker 8: to sixteen years in US men's soccer.
56:57
