  On another utterly authentic and original to the core live
• 1:12
  Thursday night episode of New York's sports loudmouth, the
• 1:16
  Mets lose their star play. They lose their star closer.
• 1:21
  The Mets are in a bad spotlight now.
• 1:29
  I've never seen a Ranger team quick before the Olympics.
• 1:32
  We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he
• 1:34
  can't win the big game. Michael Jordan.
• 1:36
  Said I. Played 82 games.

• 3:47
  I'm fixing the sound on the back end.
• 3:49
  It's been a crazy, crazy day. The weather out here.
• 3:53
  I, I don't know, it's every time I come on this show, I'm trying
• 3:56
  to figure out is it going to be hot?
• 3:58
  Is it going to be cold? Is it going to be normal?
• 4:00
  Normal to me is about 40° and today it was normal.
• 4:04
  So as you can see, I'm wearing a nice short sleeve shirt and
• 4:08
  joining enjoying the weather and you know, I'm just enjoying
• 4:12
  everything that's going on. There's nothing really going on
• 4:15
  in sports. The Yankees get knocked out.
• 4:18
  I mean knocked out by one run, one to nothing.
• 4:20
  We'll get into that a little bit later.
• 4:22
  Athletics beat the Yankees. The Yankees pitching has been
• 4:25
  superb, but they're not hitting timely as the Yankees have done
• 4:30
  this year in and year out. It's been a big problem for the
• 4:32
  New York Yankees finding a way to get contact on the ball.
• 4:37
  But we'll get into that a little bit later in the Show.
• 4:39
  Q What's up, man? What's going on, man?
• 4:43
  Yeah, the Yankees definitely took a hard loss for that.
• 4:45
  Amen. So I'm a little down about that.
• 4:48
  But other than that, man, it's a good Thursday.
• 4:50
  I'm ready to light you up, get the fans what they came to see a
• 4:54
  massacre. And yeah, let's get to it, baby.
• 4:58
  Let's go. Light me up.
• 5:00
  What do you think this is like, you know, race or something?
• 5:03
  We're going into a, you know, a race car race, a NASCAR race or
• 5:08
  we're we're playing, we're actually playing in the Masters
• 5:10
  right now because Masters are going on right now and we have a
• 5:15
  good three days left. We got Friday, Saturday and
• 5:18
  Sunday to find out who our champions, champions going to
• 5:21
  be. We'll get into that a little bit
• 5:23
  later. I, I'm not a golf fan, but I
• 5:25
  know there's a lot of fans out there that absolutely enjoy this
• 5:30
  time of year, especially the Masters.
• 5:32
  You have the US Open. Tennis is right around the
• 5:35
  corner when the summer comes around.
• 5:36
  So I like the tennis. So with with all the different
• 5:39
  big events in the big title games and, and what do they call
• 5:43
  the the big majors majors. Majors, majors, majors.
• 5:48
  So we're getting to the Masters a little bit later in the show.
• 5:51
  Tennis again, this is really the start of the tennis season.
• 5:55
  It's it's like a couple of weeks away.
• 5:57
  And, and as the big, the big majors come around Wimbledon,
• 6:01
  which is in the summer, the US Open.
• 6:03
  So well, we we will get into that as we move forward for the
• 6:08
  rest of the the summertime. But anyways, we got a great show
• 6:11
  lined up for you. I'm trying to I'm trying to get
• 6:13
  through everything and I got a new setup right over here.
• 6:16
  We will be talking to 27 year MLB official scorer Howie Carpin
• 6:20
  will be joining us. We were supposed to have Mr.
• 6:23
  Easley, Dominique Easley to come on the show.
• 6:25
  But again, he didn't show up, but we still have a guest.
• 6:29
  So for all the fans out there, we're going to have an MLB guy
• 6:32
  on and we'll get into some baseball.
• 6:34
  I'd love to hear his take on the New York Yankees because the
• 6:38
  Yankees have looked really, really good.
• 6:40
  I know everybody's saying right now on social media, I'm not
• 6:43
  going to worry, but how could you say you're not going to
• 6:45
  worry after the last two losses the Yankees have had against an
• 6:49
  athletic team? To me, they're better than now.
• 6:52
  It, it's still early and the Athletics have a very good
• 6:55
  lineup. They, they, I think they, when
• 6:57
  you look at their pitching staff, it's not that bad.
• 7:00
  I, I wouldn't say their pitching staff is that bad.
• 7:02
  But again, we'll get into the Yankee situation a little bit
• 7:05
  later in the show. Michigan wins the national
• 7:09
  championship. Michigan beat UConn 609063 to
• 7:12
  wing to win their first national championship since 1989.
• 7:18
  Michigan won despite shooting just two for 15 from three,
• 7:22
  including zero for their first eight shots.
• 7:25
  Despite their woes from three, boy, oh boy where they was.
• 7:30
  Michigan was brilliant at the at the free throw line, making 25
• 7:34
  of 28 attempts. Both Terrace Reed and Alex
• 7:39
  Caraban finished with double double S for U Conn, but both
• 7:43
  solo ball and Braille and Mullins struggled shooting,
• 7:47
  especially with threes. Eliot Cadeau LED Michigan with
• 7:51
  19 points in the game and was named the NCAA Tournaments Most
• 7:55
  Outstanding Player. Dusty May won his first national
• 7:58
  championship in his second year as the Michigan head coach, tied
• 8:03
  with former UConn head coach Kevin Ollie for the second
• 8:07
  fastest ever to win a title. The only one that was faster was
• 8:12
  Steve Fisher, who won and as an interim coach for Michigan in
• 8:16
  1989, the Wolverines only other basketball championship until
• 8:21
  that. This year Michigan was not
• 8:23
  hitting threes. They were not shooting the ball
• 8:24
  very well. But UConn is not an offensive
• 8:27
  team. The problem going into the
• 8:29
  tournament was the questions. Can UConn put enough points up
• 8:33
  against elite defensive teams, elite teams if they expect to
• 8:37
  win a championship? But through through the
• 8:39
  tournament they play very well offensively.
• 8:42
  They had unlikely sources coming from offensive, offensive
• 8:47
  sources coming from Taris Reid. Taris Reid throughout the season
• 8:50
  wasn't a high scoring player. You would expected Braylon
• 8:54
  Mullins was going to be that lead score for them or Caravan,
• 8:57
  who's been on this team for three years and he's he's been a
• 9:01
  national champion. You would have expected that a
• 9:04
  lot of these players were going to show up in the big game.
• 9:08
  And Michigan, they practically gave them every single chance to
• 9:12
  come back in the game and win the game.
• 9:13
  They they gave them so many opportunities to come back in
• 9:16
  the game. It's just UConn could not hit a
• 9:18
  shot. They could not hit a shot, and I
• 9:21
  expected this. I did expect this.
• 9:23
  I had UConn winning the game because I thought they were
• 9:26
  going to keep it at a low scoring game and they did, 69 to
• 9:29
  63. Michigan has been an
• 9:32
  electrifying offensive team throughout the tournaments.
• 9:35
  They're a great offensive team. Look what they did against
• 9:37
  Arizona, another good offensive team.
• 9:39
  They put up big points, a lot of points, and I expected this
• 9:43
  game, if UCOM was going to win, to keep it a very low scoring
• 9:47
  game, and they did. 69 and 63 is not a high scoring game for a
• 9:51
  national championship. And Michigan, who has been as
• 9:56
  good as anybody in this tournament, shooting the three,
• 9:58
  couldn't hit a lick. 2 for 15. When you see those kind of
• 10:02
  numbers going into the second-half, you would think.
• 10:05
  And UConn, I, if I'm not mistaken, was only down by four
• 10:08
  or five points going into the second-half of the game.
• 10:12
  That to me gave UConn an opportunity to come back and win
• 10:17
  the game. And I, I trust Danny Hurley.
• 10:20
  I don't know if anybody heard the story that Danny Hurley
• 10:23
  during the half had his wife run home or run back to the, the
• 10:28
  hotel room because he left his lucky bracelet and she ran back
• 10:32
  and gave him back his lucky bracelet because he won national
• 10:36
  championships, 2 national championships with that lucky
• 10:39
  bracelet. And throughout this tournament
• 10:41
  he has, he's worn that lucky bracelet.
• 10:44
  Now I don't believe in things and like, I, I guess you could
• 10:49
  say monarchs and, and lucky coins and lucky bowls and lucky
• 10:55
  whatever. I don't believe in that.
• 10:57
  But Danny Hurley to me is a specific coach.
• 11:02
  He he plays a game. He plays the game at such a high
• 11:05
  level as a head coach, he understands the game at such a
• 11:08
  high level. And you look at this game and,
• 11:10
  and again, they've got Michigan's got players that are
• 11:13
  going to be NBA players a day. Mara is going to be an NBA
• 11:18
  player. Did he have a great game?
• 11:19
  No, but throughout the tournament he's been very, very
• 11:22
  good. He will be a good backup
• 11:25
  defensive center in the NBAI could see the Knicks drafting
• 11:29
  him in the second round. I could see him a late first
• 11:31
  round draft pick. Yaxel Lenenborg, this guy a lot
• 11:35
  of people believe is a top 20 pick now.
• 11:38
  He can shoot the ball. He's got some size.
• 11:40
  I think he's a little undersized for his position, but this is a
• 11:44
  guy that can do everything well defensively, offensively.
• 11:48
  And again, Michigan to me going into this tournament, besides, I
• 11:52
  would say two other teams was the best all around team going
• 11:57
  into the tournament. Duke was one of them, which we
• 12:02
  all know what happened before the tournament.
• 12:04
  They lost two big players. One of them came back during the
• 12:07
  tournament. Didn't really help them, but
• 12:09
  they they're to me when when you look at I'm I'm again, we all
• 12:14
  know what I think about John Shire.
• 12:15
  I don't think John Shire is Danny Hurley, but their team,
• 12:18
  they're all around team. They were very good offensively
• 12:21
  throughout the season and very good defensively.
• 12:24
  I look at Michigan, the this was the best all around team going
• 12:29
  into the tournament. The questions was with Michigan
• 12:32
  is could they could they do this consistently throughout the
• 12:35
  tournament And the bracket they were in was probably the easiest
• 12:39
  bracket. You can argue they had the
• 12:41
  easiest bracket from UConn, who was playing in that E bracket.
• 12:46
  When you look at Duke, you look at St.
• 12:47
  John's, there are a lot of good teams over there.
• 12:51
  And the Houston bracket I thought was very easy too.
• 12:53
  I, I thought that was a interesting bracket.
• 12:56
  Illinois came out of that bracket, and that's probably why
• 12:58
  Illinois came out of that bracket, because once Florida
• 13:01
  got eliminated, I think it was smooth sailing.
• 13:04
  There was nobody in that bracket besides Houston that I thought
• 13:07
  was going to come out and and play in the Final Four.
• 13:11
  But Houston choked. And then you look at Michigan,
• 13:15
  they had to go through a good team.
• 13:17
  Arizona, I know Fish, I know Q. They had a love fest for this
• 13:20
  Arizona team. The Wildcats.
• 13:22
  They're they're they're good offensive team, had problems
• 13:25
  shooting the three throughout the tournament, had problems
• 13:27
  shooting the three throughout the season.
• 13:29
  This is not one of the better shooting teams in the
• 13:32
  tournament. So that's where the advantage
• 13:35
  was for Michigan getting into the Final Four.
• 13:37
  They were the best shooting team going into the Final Four out of
• 13:42
  all four teams and UConn was probably the weakest offensively
• 13:47
  out of all four teams. And, and if UConn had a chance
• 13:51
  to win this game, they did what they needed to do defensively,
• 13:54
  but they needed to put up points.
• 13:56
  They needed to score. And I said it on the show a
• 13:58
  couple of weeks ago, if they're going to win a national
• 14:02
  championship, and I predicted the national championship final
• 14:05
  score, it was me, Purdue and UConn.
• 14:10
  I expected the game to be at the least, if UConn was going to win
• 14:12
  the game, they were going to win 7874.
• 14:15
  I had Purdue beating UConn, 7673.
• 14:20
  I had to put up some points. And this game was really a lack
• 14:25
  of offense. It was two teams that really
• 14:28
  played back and forth basketball.
• 14:30
  They defended, they rebounded. But at the tail end of the game,
• 14:34
  UConn could not find the hole. They could not find it.
• 14:38
  They were trying to drive the ball.
• 14:39
  They made some mistakes in the fourth quarter that kept them
• 14:43
  away from even catching up the Michigan or making even close in
• 14:47
  with Michigan. Because really, the last five
• 14:49
  minutes of the game, Michigan was up by like 8 or 9 points.
• 14:53
  They were chasing. UConn was chasing all through
• 14:56
  the second-half, something that UConn was not doing throughout
• 14:59
  the tournament. When they fell behind against
• 15:01
  Duke, what did they do? They slowly but surely chased in
• 15:05
  the second-half, cut it down eight points, cut it down to 765
• 15:09
  points. That's what UConn does.
• 15:12
  They keep the game close. They play team defense and then
• 15:16
  they have guys, they have shooters like Braylon Mullins.
• 15:19
  They got guys like Terrace Reed who's played very well on the
• 15:22
  boards, can get into the paint and draw fouls, could free throw
• 15:25
  shooter. That's what Yukon does so very
• 15:27
  well. But against Michigan, Michigan
• 15:31
  gave them every single reason to win this game.
• 15:34
  And I, I honestly think Michigan had one of the worst final
• 15:40
  games, championship games, I've ever seen a championship team
• 15:43
  win. Think about it.
• 15:46
  You watch a championship team dominate throughout the bracket,
• 15:49
  they were dominating scoring. They were beating teams by 2030
• 15:54
  points. And against a UConn team that
• 15:58
  couldn't shoot, couldn't do anything offensively, they beat
• 16:02
  them by 6 points because UConn didn't get, didn't take the
• 16:07
  chances they had in the second-half of the game, even
• 16:09
  when Danny Hurley was calling timeouts.
• 16:11
  And he did it so very well with the last 6-7 minutes of the
• 16:15
  game. And then they hit a big
• 16:16
  three-point shot. They cut it down to four with 2
• 16:19
  1/2 minutes left of the game. And you thought, hey, Uconn's
• 16:22
  going to figure it out. They're going to find a way.
• 16:24
  Braylon Mullins. Mullins is going to hit a three
• 16:26
  or they're going to get a 2. And they're going to get they're
• 16:28
  going to get fouled and they get a free throw.
• 16:30
  And they're going to be cutting it down to one point.
• 16:32
  And it's going to be really a final shot of the game.
• 16:34
  Who's going to hit the final shot of the game?
• 16:36
  Who's going to make the big defensive play?
• 16:38
  And it wasn't like that. It was really after that shot
• 16:43
  they hit and they cut it down to four points with 2 1/2 minutes
• 16:46
  left of the game. UConn couldn't do anything else.
• 16:49
  They couldn't do anything and that to me was the reason why
• 16:54
  Michigan won a national championship.
• 16:56
  Now I got to give a shout out to shout out to Dustin May.
• 16:59
  Dustin May has proven himself. He took over this team and a
• 17:02
  Michigan team over the last couple of years, really the last
• 17:06
  10 years, trying to find a coach, trying to guy find a guy
• 17:09
  that was going to take over for this team and and eventually
• 17:12
  prominently take them to a national championship.
• 17:14
  They haven't done since 2018. They lost in 2018.
• 17:18
  This this is a great basketball program.
• 17:21
  They are always known for their basketball and their football.
• 17:26
  They have world renowned teams. You think about Michigan, the
• 17:29
  Wolverines, the Fab 5, we all remember them.
• 17:32
  They failed because Chris Webber decides at the tail end of the
• 17:35
  game to call a timeout when they had no timeouts left.
• 17:38
  That cost, I believe, Michigan a national championship and and
• 17:42
  that was in the 90s. Think about that.
• 17:44
  They haven't won a championship since 89, and they've had a lot
• 17:47
  of good teams. A lot of good players come out
• 17:49
  of Michigan, NBA players that were successful in the NBA but
• 17:53
  could never get over the hump. You think about this, UConn, for
• 17:57
  all the talent that they have, all the championships that they
• 17:59
  have won over the years, could you name more than three players
• 18:04
  that became decent NBA talents? Well, I remember 1 and he played
• 18:08
  for the Knicks. You know what I'm talking about.
• 18:09
  Speedy point guard. Kemba Walker.
• 18:11
  Kemba Walker. He was the only one that I can
• 18:15
  really nitpick from. All the teams, all the national
• 18:19
  championship, all those great UConn teams that ever became a
• 18:23
  superstar player in the NBA. Everybody else, Okafor, remember
• 18:30
  him center, everybody thought this guy was going to be.
• 18:33
  He was a top five talent, drafted in the top five.
• 18:36
  He didn't make much of anything in the NBA.
• 18:39
  Went to the Bobcats, it was just tough and the Bobcats doesn't
• 18:42
  matter when he would have. Went great.
• 18:43
  He had no NBA game. Was not going to fit his game.
• 18:49
  Was more of a college game. He was a good rebounder, liked
• 18:53
  to get into the pain and draw a foul.
• 18:55
  She was a decent free throw shooter.
• 18:56
  That doesn't work in the NBA. And even when he was drafted,
• 19:00
  when he went to the Bobcats, he had No 3 point talents.
• 19:03
  He couldn't shoot anything further than a 1514 foot jumper.
• 19:08
  That wasn't in time. That wasn't in style back then.
• 19:11
  Hold on. Before you go any further, you
• 19:13
  think Kemba Walker was a superstar in the NBA?
• 19:15
  Yes, he was. Yes, he was.
• 19:18
  Because he played for the Knicks or.
• 19:19
  No, not with the Knicks. With the with Charlotte.
• 19:22
  He was a superstar player who's one of the better point guards
• 19:25
  in Eastern Conference. He was.
• 19:27
  He really was. And, and you look at the All
• 19:30
  Star games and, and honestly, the Eastern Conference had a ton
• 19:32
  of great point guards. So that's probably why Walker
• 19:36
  never really was consistent in the All Star game.
• 19:39
  But again, All Star games is, is voted by the the fans.
• 19:43
  It's not even voted by the players.
• 19:44
  It's not voted by the GM's or the the coaches.
• 19:48
  It's not. It's voted by the fans and then
• 19:51
  they pick. Then the coach that wins the
• 19:53
  championship the year before gets to coach the team and he
• 19:57
  picks his roster and how he wants to set up his roster.
• 20:00
  But Walker was a superstar player.
• 20:03
  You look at all those teams and all those championship
• 20:06
  contending teams, none of those guys really became NBA players,
• 20:10
  talented NBA players. So, but Michigan, you go back
• 20:13
  and you look at some of the guys that came from Michigan, a lot
• 20:16
  of those guys when they made it to the NBA were.
• 20:20
  Great players, good players. Maybe not all of them
• 20:23
  superstars, but good players. Hardaway Junior.
• 20:28
  Michigan did produce a superstar, but Kimball Walker
• 20:31
  was a superstar. I didn't.
• 20:33
  You don't think Chris Webber was a superstar?
• 20:35
  That's not what I'm talking about.
• 20:36
  You're, I'm not saying that you're not listening to me here.
• 20:40
  You're listen to what I'm saying.
• 20:42
  Michigan has had a lot of great players come from their program,
• 20:46
  some superstars, some not, but they were better.
• 20:50
  And if you look at the talent in the past, they you, when you
• 20:53
  look at UConn and all the achievements that UConn has made
• 20:57
  over the years, going to national championships, Final
• 21:00
  Fours, If you look at the talent that's gone to the NBA, I would
• 21:04
  say I can only nitpick maybe one or two guys that had long
• 21:08
  careers in the NBA in Michigan. There have been guys that have
• 21:12
  come out of Michigan and have been successful, played 1415
• 21:16
  years in the NBA, partially Hall of Farmers.
• 21:20
  But again, when I look at this Michigan team, am I going to
• 21:23
  tell you right now that at least one or two of these guys are
• 21:26
  going to be NBA superstars? I don't know.
• 21:29
  Now we we have to see their development.
• 21:32
  A lot of people think Lindenborg is their best player.
• 21:36
  I, I don't know, because his, a lot of people say his frame is
• 21:40
  not what you call what you look for as a, a forward, a power
• 21:44
  forward slash small forward, wherever they position him or
• 21:47
  wherever they decide to put him in the NBA.
• 21:50
  And, and again, they're they're kind of questioning where he's
• 21:53
  going to be drafted. He's going to be drafted in the
• 21:55
  teens. He's definitely not a lottery
• 21:58
  pick. I, I can't see Linda Borg being
• 21:59
  a lottery pick. He's probably more of a 14th.
• 22:02
  I mean late lottery pick. If anything, probably 1617 type
• 22:07
  of pick. I've heard I've seen on a couple
• 22:09
  of draft boards Charlotte likes him.
• 22:11
  So maybe the Charlotte, the Charlotte Hornets decide to
• 22:14
  draft him. I think they draft at 17 or 18.
• 22:17
  Maybe that's where that's the route they go.
• 22:19
  I, I don't know, but I look at this team, this roster, a Dame
• 22:22
  Morrow, who a lot of people like that could be a decent NBA
• 22:25
  player. They're saying he's a late first
• 22:28
  round, early second round pick. The only guy.
• 22:32
  And here's the thing, Yukon, everybody likes this Braylon
• 22:36
  Mullins. But here's the thing that I
• 22:37
  would say about Braylon Mullins. I do not think he should go to
• 22:41
  the NBA this year. I think he should play another
• 22:44
  year at college basketball and figure who he is and and let him
• 22:48
  develop his body. I don't think his body is fit
• 22:51
  right now for the NBAI don't. And if he rushes into the NBAI
• 22:55
  don't know how good he's going to be.
• 22:56
  He's going to be a secondary player.
• 22:57
  Look what's happened. Look at all the Portland
• 23:00
  Trailblazer players. We were just talking about it.
• 23:02
  Scoot Henderson, this guy was a top three, top four pick by
• 23:07
  Portland and I thought he was going to be a good player in the
• 23:10
  NBA. His development has been
• 23:12
  horrible. He goes to the G League and he
• 23:14
  keeps coming back from the G League to the NBA, the G League
• 23:16
  to the NBA and there's no Chauncey pull ups, but I don't
• 23:19
  think that's a big deal. I really don't.
• 23:21
  It's called development and and his.
• 23:24
  Development. The coach got to be there.
• 23:26
  The coach doesn't help this guy shoot 303 pointers every single
• 23:30
  week when he's supposed to practice and put himself out
• 23:33
  there if he knows he has a weaknesses in his game.
• 23:35
  You're going to go out there and you're going to practice.
• 23:38
  That's what you do. And, and to me, Scoot Henderson,
• 23:41
  who a lot of people thought he had an NBA 3 point shot, has a
• 23:44
  great inside game and this guy's going to develop, develop his
• 23:48
  skills. He hasn't developed his skills.
• 23:50
  As a matter of fact, I think Scoot is one of the worst top
• 23:54
  five picks the NBA has seen in the last 20 years.
• 23:58
  He's been really, really bad. What's he averaging right now
• 24:01
  for Portland? 17 and like inefficient
• 24:04
  shooting. I'm I'm telling you, he's not a.
• 24:07
  Very good player. That's good.
• 24:08
  That's pretty. Good.
• 24:09
  No, it's not, No. It's 17 points in the NBA right
• 24:12
  now. It's not he's.
• 24:12
  Forcing shots. He's shooting 2526 shots a game.
• 24:16
  14.4 actually. 14 actually. He's not a.
• 24:19
  Good player. He's not a good player.
• 24:21
  He's really not When you're a top five player and you're you
• 24:25
  had the number two pick, if I'm not mistaken, Yeah.
• 24:27
  He's shooting 41.4% Q, That's not good.
• 24:31
  No, I'm not. He's a, he's a what?
• 24:33
  Is he working second? Wasn't that weapon Yamas?
• 24:35
  Draft, yes, it was, I think he was third and Brandon Miller was
• 24:38
  the Hornets pick was the second. The kid from Alabama that got
• 24:40
  into that legal trouble during the tournament with all the
• 24:43
  guns, I think he was second and Scoot was third.
• 24:45
  And like you said, Scoot's been demoted I think 6 different
• 24:48
  times already. And this is now year, year three
• 24:51
  in the NBA. And that's not a guy you trust
• 24:55
  to build your team around. What I'm saying here is, and I'm
• 24:58
  not making, I'm not cracking jokes at Scoot Anderson.
• 25:01
  I I understand he could develop, he's what, 2324?
• 25:05
  He could be eventually he could develop his skills later in his
• 25:09
  career. We've seen players get better in
• 25:10
  the later parts of their career. Maybe he gets traded.
• 25:13
  Maybe Portland isn't the team. Maybe that isn't the roster he's
• 25:16
  going to develop his skills on. All I'm saying is we have
• 25:19
  watched guys get drafted. Markel's faults, remember him
• 25:23
  faults, was the what, number one, number two pick he was
• 25:26
  drafted by, if I'm not mistaken, the 76ers.
• 25:28
  Right. Yep.
• 25:29
  We talked about it with Dan Purcell.
• 25:30
  That was the whole Jaylen Brown trade because he was too slow
• 25:34
  with the with the calf walking or.
• 25:35
  Whatever. And look how bad he was.
• 25:37
  He's been a journeyman. I don't even know if he's in the
• 25:40
  NBA anymore. The last time I remember he was
• 25:42
  in the G League. Maybe he's playing in China.
• 25:44
  We seen a lot of NBA players jump ship and go and play in
• 25:47
  different countries. Why I'm saying this is when I
• 25:50
  look at Michigan's roster, none of these guys pop out as NBA
• 25:56
  superstars. None of them.
• 25:58
  Now does that mean that they shouldn't be an elite team in in
• 26:02
  college basketball? No, because college basketball
• 26:05
  is run by team basketball. Team defense, team offense, how
• 26:09
  you run the zone. You play man to man.
• 26:11
  And that's something that Michigan has done very well all
• 26:14
  season long. They only lost three games and
• 26:16
  throughout the tournament they completely dominated in every
• 26:20
  single game besides this one. Think about it, the one game
• 26:24
  they didn't show up to was a national championship game.
• 26:28
  That's the truth. If you look at if you're if
• 26:30
  you're a Michigan fan and I know there's a couple of guys that
• 26:33
  are probably listening to the show right now, Carl being one
• 26:36
  of them. You can see that roster from top
• 26:41
  to bottom. Aren't is it a roster that
• 26:43
  sticks out to you that says, Oh my God, they're they can
• 26:46
  probably beat the Duke Blue Devils in the 90s or beat some
• 26:51
  of these top national championship teams because
• 26:53
  honest to God, if they play like that, they're not going to win.
• 26:56
  That was a really, really bad game for a national
• 26:59
  championship. We've seen most national
• 27:02
  championship games have always come down to the wire.
• 27:05
  Even when Yukon and I against Purdue a couple of years ago,
• 27:09
  that was a very close game that really came down to the wire.
• 27:13
  UConn was the better team. A lot of people had UConn
• 27:15
  winning the national championship.
• 27:17
  Purdue had such a great run. They had one of the best big men
• 27:21
  in the in the country, if not the best big man in the whole
• 27:24
  tournament. He was probably the best player
• 27:26
  in the tournament. And then he walked into a jigsaw
• 27:29
  puzzle in and UConn. And Danny Hurley is very hard to
• 27:32
  read as a head coach because he plays a lot of pressure defense.
• 27:36
  That's what he does. He presses up, up top.
• 27:39
  He wants you to, he, he wants you to, he wants to force you to
• 27:42
  get into the pain. He wants you to force you to
• 27:43
  take shots where you're uncomfortable doing.
• 27:46
  And, and, and that's, that's the power of great coaching.
• 27:49
  If you want a point and you want a nip point, something that
• 27:52
  stands for college basketball and coaching, you put your
• 27:55
  players in the best position to win, even if you're not the more
• 27:59
  talented team. And that's what Danny Hurley
• 28:02
  does so very well. When you talk about Coach K,
• 28:04
  Coach K's teams, his national champion championship teams,
• 28:07
  he's always had good recruiting classes.
• 28:09
  But what made Coach K1 of the more dominant coaches in NCAA
• 28:14
  history was the way he called his defense.
• 28:17
  That's what he did. Duke was more known for their
• 28:20
  defense, not their offense. From all the great teams that
• 28:24
  Duke and, and, and Coach K has had over the years, Even Shire.
• 28:28
  Shire gets better talent now than Duke ever did in the 90s.
• 28:33
  Christian Leitner, when, when he was, when he was brought, when
• 28:36
  he was recruited, Christian Leitner wasn't the, he was a
• 28:39
  good high school talent. He wasn't the best.
• 28:42
  Bobby Early was probably the most talented out of all the
• 28:45
  guys that wanted to. Grant Hill was a good player in
• 28:47
  high school. Was he was he a top three
• 28:49
  recruit? I don't think Grant Hill was.
• 28:51
  I think he was a top 10 recruit. So now you look at Duke and look
• 28:56
  at the talent that they bring in.
• 28:57
  They're all #1 recruits #2 recruits #3 recruits.
• 29:01
  Cam and Kaden, these guys were top recruits in the country.
• 29:06
  Why I'm saying this is you look at UConn, besides Braylon
• 29:10
  Mullins, who a lot of people thought was a high recruit, none
• 29:13
  of these guys in Terrace Reed, he was in a top 10 recruit.
• 29:17
  Alex Caraban he was. He wasn't a top 10 recruit.
• 29:21
  No, he's a fifth year senior. Yeah, half of these guys weren't
• 29:25
  top recruits. Some of them came from the
• 29:27
  portal. That has something to do with
• 29:29
  coaching Michigan, these guys. Lenenborg was a top recruit.
• 29:34
  He was a good recruit a day. Morrow was a good recruit.
• 29:38
  These guys were top recruits. Eliot Cadeau, this guy who's
• 29:42
  been one of the best guards in the nation this year, he was a
• 29:45
  top recruit. All these guys, we're top
• 29:48
  recruits going into this game. When you look at talent versus
• 29:51
  talent, you would think Michigan is going to blow Yukon out of
• 29:55
  the water. What they did against Arizona
• 29:57
  was very impressive. Arizona has possibly 2, maybe
• 30:01
  even three guys that are going to be drafted in the top 23.
• 30:05
  Bradley Buries, KOA Pete. Those three of those guys, KOA
• 30:09
  Pete could be drafted in the late first round.
• 30:11
  But all of three of those guys are going to be first round
• 30:14
  talents. All three of them.
• 30:15
  Think about that. And Michigan ran over that team,
• 30:18
  ran over them. It wasn't even close and that
• 30:22
  says a lot when you watch this national championship game and
• 30:25
  we go back and forth, we look at it's just bad basketball.
• 30:28
  The first half was just really, really bad.
• 30:30
  It was not something fun to watch.
• 30:33
  You want to say it was a lot of defense in the game.
• 30:35
  I don't know if it was that. It was just two teams that
• 30:37
  couldn't hit a shot and, and to me that's been a problem
• 30:41
  throughout this tournament. The free throws, even though
• 30:43
  both teams shot the free throws pretty well in this game,
• 30:47
  everything else was bad. Shooting the three, shooting
• 30:50
  1817 foot jumpers, shooting layups.
• 30:53
  How many layups did we see missed?
• 30:55
  I saw a dunk being missed in the first half of the game.
• 30:59
  It was just a horribly played game.
• 31:00
  Yeah, it's, I think something where the quality of play that
• 31:04
  you saw from Yukon's two stars in the previous rest of the
• 31:07
  tournament were not there. Like even Reed, even though we
• 31:10
  got 14 rebounds in the game, some of those possessions he was
• 31:12
  extending did not turn into good shots or he tried to put them
• 31:15
  back and Michigan made him take uncomfortable shots.
• 31:18
  And that was what I was mentioning on Monday.
• 31:19
  Where Michigan, who knows Dusty May knows him being he was there
• 31:23
  the previous two years, is that they had a game plan for him to
• 31:27
  make him uncomfortable. Caravan did well, he was due to
• 31:29
  have a good game after having some rough games in the
• 31:31
  tournament. But again, those are really the
• 31:33
  only two you could get offensive production wise, which is hard
• 31:35
  for UConn because Michigan has a big size advantage.
• 31:37
  And Dan Hurley, you got to give him the credit though.
• 31:39
  He I was texting with Carl after the game.
• 31:41
  Carl or big Michigan fan, they played a Big 10 style of
• 31:45
  physicality with a team that outside of Taras Reid does not
• 31:48
  have a lot of size and Yukon's defense deserves a lot of credit
• 31:51
  for that, making that work. Michigan, I was saying I think
• 31:53
  messed up a lot in the first half where they were shooting
• 31:55
  too many threes and yet still kept trying to do it when they
• 31:58
  were actually getting all these free throws.
• 32:00
  And we talked about it last month with the concrete jungle
• 32:02
  carousel with Dan Hurley yapping at his players for taking way
• 32:05
  too many fouls. And that was a big issue in the
• 32:07
  first half of that game. But Michigan, I don't think got
• 32:09
  enough free throw opportunities later or getting those N1
• 32:12
  opportunities to really put the pedal on the gas.
• 32:16
  And that's why I, like you said, Arrow was 33 to 29, a very ugly
• 32:19
  first half at halftime. And that kind of thing left the
• 32:22
  game in Uconn's favor for a little while because of the way
• 32:24
  Dan Hurley was coaching. And the defense for UConn
• 32:27
  deserves a lot of credit inside and outside for that not making
• 32:30
  it easy. The problem is they just don't
• 32:32
  have enough size. They don't have enough secondary
• 32:34
  scoring if Mullins is off. Mullins was hitting some really
• 32:37
  tough shots against Illinois the round before that.
• 32:39
  It's not like UConn played an overly complete gaming into
• 32:41
  Illinois. But Mullins still hit those
• 32:43
  shots. Those are the shots you need
• 32:44
  those NBA prospect types to make and that was a difference in
• 32:48
  that kind of game. But everything you were
• 32:49
  describing before Errol was the epitome of what does not win in
• 32:52
  college basketball anymore, which are these flashy draft
• 32:55
  prospect type teams outside of Stefan Castle with UConn in
• 32:59
  2024. Like there's not a lot of these
• 33:01
  teams that have these big name draft prospects on these
• 33:03
  national championship teams. You were talking about it.
• 33:06
  Lindenberg is probably maybe a mid first round pick at best
• 33:09
  because he's a six foot eight, 240 LB guy that plays like a
• 33:13
  guard. You don't know how that's going
• 33:14
  to translate. He's not big enough to be an MO
• 33:16
  four or five in the NBA. That's their best player and he
• 33:19
  was playing hurt. Meanwhile, you're also looking
• 33:21
  at a guy like Mara that's 7 foot three.
• 33:23
  He's big. He's good at bench, center, but
• 33:25
  he's slow. He's slow for the NBA game.
• 33:27
  So the problem is that's not going to work with the NBA.
• 33:30
  However, in college basketball, you get that great fusion of
• 33:32
  everything together and This is why I like the process that
• 33:34
  Michigan had. It was a lot of transfers, it
• 33:36
  was a lot of senior transfers and it was a very similar
• 33:40
  process to what Florida did last year, the new wave of college
• 33:43
  basketball. It's not as much of these
• 33:44
  freshman driven teams. Congratulations to Michigan and
• 33:47
  the Wolverines for beating UConn.
• 33:48
  We know how much of a fan Arrow is of Dan and EU Conn Huskies.
• 33:53
  But yeah, I think there was outside like Speedy, like you
• 33:55
  said, I think there was outsides.
• 33:56
  And I think they use that high pick and roll 1 and then that
• 34:01
  high, low what it was using the two big men.
• 34:04
  And then it was basically a 2 versus one with Marvin Johnson
• 34:07
  versus Reed. So UConn didn't have nothing to
• 34:09
  do. And I think UConn was tired.
• 34:10
  You know, at first I thought Michigan was nervous.
• 34:13
  There's a big stage, there's a lot on the line.
• 34:14
  And then I thought UConn was just tired.
• 34:17
  Like they when you go back and look what they did with Duke,
• 34:20
  how that game went and it's progressed throughout the
• 34:23
  tournament. I don't think they had nothing
• 34:24
  left. And the tournament is all about
• 34:26
  whether or not you're going to make shots.
• 34:28
  And in the beginning, nobody could make shots.
• 34:29
  And I think the difference maker was that Michigan could have run
• 34:33
  with them. Michigan was playing physical
• 34:34
  with them. And overall they just wear it,
• 34:36
  wear them warm down. And they didn't have an answer
• 34:39
  because they couldn't hit shots. So I I totally agree.
• 34:42
  And I think those guys was was the better team and like you
• 34:45
  said, they they was keeping them in the game, but it just wasn't
• 34:48
  enough because they're the size difference.
• 34:50
  Qi want to mention something too.
• 34:51
  We were talking about like the North Carolina coaching
• 34:53
  candidates and you said you wanted a younger guy too at the
• 34:56
  time before you, we talked about Malone on Monday and you were
• 34:59
  seeing that kind of formula be the wave of it.
• 35:01
  Now a big school that has enough reputation with the NIL money
• 35:04
  like Michigan does with a younger coach that has done well
• 35:08
  with obviously FAU took a took the Final four.
• 35:10
  You look at Florida last year with Todd Golden doing well
• 35:13
  previously at University of San Francisco with a few tournament
• 35:15
  appearances in a small conference.
• 35:16
  Like that's the formula now that you're seeing in today's game.
• 35:19
  And a lot of transfers and a lot of senior transfers I think are
• 35:21
  the big key. And now I think you're going to
• 35:23
  see a lot of these other teams adopted that same kind of
• 35:25
  formula. Yeah, the trend is definitely
• 35:27
  headed towards more seasoned older guys and getting creating
• 35:31
  the system and something built around that established senior,
• 35:35
  junior, those type of pedigree guys.
• 35:38
  Like I don't think, I think the athletic, you know, super
• 35:42
  athlete, a young kid. It's it's important, but I, I
• 35:45
  just think that wave is over in regards to needing that for to
• 35:49
  win the championship. I also think that when when you
• 35:52
  watched a national championship, you want to see a high scoring
• 35:55
  game. You don't want to see an all
• 35:57
  around defensive game. Even when you watched the Super
• 36:00
  Bowl this year, it was complete domination by Seattle.
• 36:03
  Seattle completely ran all over the Patriots, which everybody
• 36:06
  predicted because the Patriots shouldn't have been there.
• 36:09
  It was just really the just the weakness of the AFC and dealing
• 36:13
  with the Broncos, the Broncos losing Bo Knicks early in the
• 36:17
  playoffs and then going to a national, going to an AFC title
• 36:21
  game with a third string quarterback.
• 36:23
  So that that's the problem. You want to see competition.
• 36:26
  You want to see games that are going to be like the Arizona.
• 36:29
  That's what I wanted to see. What what happened to Arizona
• 36:33
  and Michigan, a high scoring game back in fourth offense.
• 36:36
  Really Michigan blew him out, but Arizona made a comeback.
• 36:39
  They were trying to come back in the game if it was something
• 36:42
  like that, and it was scored maybe 100, a hundred or 105
• 36:46
  points by both teams, which usually national championships
• 36:49
  don't go over more than 80 points.
• 36:50
  Usually it doesn't go any more than that, but it was just, to
• 36:54
  me, it was one of those games that wasn't fun to watch.
• 36:57
  It was boring. We were watching the final 567
• 37:01
  minutes of the game at Applebee's and everybody was
• 37:04
  like, oh, and ah, because nobody can hit a shot.
• 37:07
  Nobody can hit a shot. Every time we saw some kind of
• 37:09
  points go on the board, it was free throws.
• 37:11
  That's what we were seeing with the last 7 minutes of the game.
• 37:14
  And then like I said, when Yukon cut it down to four, everybody
• 37:18
  was like, oh, Yukon has a chance.
• 37:20
  There's 4 minutes or I think 2 1/2 or 3 minutes left of the
• 37:23
  game. Yukon has a chance.
• 37:25
  We saw this against Duke. They're going to make a comeback
• 37:27
  and they just couldn't because every time they they cut the cut
• 37:31
  it down, Michigan then would hit an easy layup or go to the free
• 37:34
  throw line, hit two and then Yukon would take it down and
• 37:39
  then miss an easy layup or an easy shot.
• 37:41
  And then Michigan would take it down and get fouled again and
• 37:43
  they shoot two more free throws. It it was just bad basketball
• 37:48
  and what you want to see in a national champ.
• 37:50
  And I'm not blaming Michigan or Yukon for that.
• 37:52
  It's just one of those bad shooting games.
• 37:55
  It happens, but you didn't want to see this happen in a national
• 37:58
  championship game. That's.
• 38:00
  Love the defensive game? It wasn't a defensive game.
• 38:03
  It really wasn't. It was seems not any shots.
• 38:07
  Bricklaying game. Michigan had 90 points in every
• 38:11
  game until this last game. They hit only two threes in this
• 38:15
  game. Bro, it's just dead legs.
• 38:17
  They all had dead legs in this tournament.
• 38:20
  They the offensive output that they were going through.
• 38:23
  They just didn't have any legs for the last game.
• 38:25
  Both teams, it was ugly. It was a rock fight.
• 38:28
  It wasn't a really good game. It was competitive as hell.
• 38:32
  It was a championship. Game, but what's it called?
• 38:34
  You kind of had like 5 people in double figures.
• 38:37
  They did. They spread it around.
• 38:38
  Nobody got 20. Oh, so because UConn and every
• 38:41
  single one of their starting lineup had five guys that hit
• 38:44
  over 10 points, that makes a big deal, That makes an offensive.
• 38:48
  So, so you want a lot of shooting and a lot of scoring.
• 38:51
  You don't care that there's defensive or like it.
• 38:54
  Wasn't defense if you. Want but the game was
• 38:57
  competitive, right? True or not, Even if they're
• 38:59
  missing like that they would just let them shoot like or were
• 39:03
  they actually competing? It was a little different for
• 39:05
  both teams, I think. Here 5 for 14 Caravan, 4 for 12
• 39:09
  for Reed. I'm not going to mention Solo
• 39:13
  Ball was 4 for 10, Braille, Braille and Mullins was 4 for
• 39:17
  17. I mean, if you go up and down
• 39:19
  there, it's just a horrible shooting game.
• 39:22
  It was horrible. Bad game for Reed.
• 39:25
  This is what we were worried about for him too.
• 39:26
  It might really hurt his draft stock.
• 39:28
  He could not handle Mara at. All and they only had three guys
• 39:32
  that went to the line Caravan, Reed and Ross.
• 39:36
  Those are the only three guys that went to the free throw line
• 39:40
  throughout the game, the whole game.
• 39:42
  Those were the only three guys. Mullins Berlin.
• 39:44
  Mullins didn't have one free throw.
• 39:46
  Solo ball didn't have one free throw.
• 39:48
  Jalen Stewart didn't have. I'm sorry.
• 39:51
  No, he had no free throws. I'm just looking at the numbers
• 39:53
  right now. None of the other guys had any
• 39:56
  free throw shots. But if you go to Michigan, let's
• 39:59
  look at how many times Michigan was at the line.
• 40:01
  All right? Landenborg, he was 5 for five.
• 40:05
  Johnson was 2 for 2. Elliot Caddo, he was 8 for 9.
• 40:12
  Burnett was 4 for four. Trey McKinney was 4 for four.
• 40:17
  Gayle, right? Gayle 2 for four.
• 40:19
  I mean, practically their whole roster went to the free throw
• 40:23
  line and they hit it. They hit very well.
• 40:25
  They were. They were very good at the free
• 40:27
  throw line. The reason why they beat Yukon
• 40:30
  was because Yukon found the hell out of them.
• 40:33
  That's why if Yukon kept them from going to the free throw
• 40:36
  line, Yukon wins the national championship.
• 40:40
  That's the facts. Look at it it.
• 40:43
  Wasn't fair if it. Wasn't fair.
• 40:44
  You know what it was, though, Like their whole game, the
• 40:47
  entire tournament was get it to read inside.
• 40:50
  And then he's going to muscle his way and he's going to get
• 40:52
  the offensive rebounds, He's going to get the every defensive
• 40:55
  rebound. And then he was up against a guy
• 40:57
  who had five inches on him and he couldn't, you know, take it
• 41:00
  to him. So he was missing bunnies.
• 41:02
  He was, he wasn't even using the backboard trying to get it over
• 41:05
  the guy. And he was a shell of himself in
• 41:07
  this. Game like 2 skyhooks in the
• 41:09
  beginning of the game it looked like he was getting comfortable
• 41:11
  and then all of a sudden Michigan forced him to the side
• 41:13
  a lot. You can't play that, you can't
• 41:16
  play through them. You can't play through him for
• 41:18
  three or four games and then expect for him to show up huge
• 41:21
  in the championship game. He have somebody else to score.
• 41:23
  The one thing that I've been saying has been a big problem
• 41:26
  throughout the tournament and that shooting free throws was
• 41:29
  the one reason why you come lost the national championship and
• 41:32
  UConn was not shooting free throws very good throughout the
• 41:35
  tournament. They really weren't what what
• 41:37
  either was Duke either was Saint John's every single every single
• 41:40
  team in the east side were not shooting free throws very, very
• 41:44
  well and and on in the other regions as well.
• 41:46
  But this was a poorly shooting free throw championship or
• 41:52
  national tournament. If you watch the tournament,
• 41:54
  nobody can hit free throws, nobody.
• 41:57
  But you go into the national championship.
• 41:59
  The one reason why Michigan won a national championship is
• 42:02
  because they hit their free throws and UConn couldn't get to
• 42:05
  the line. They could not draw fouls by
• 42:07
  Michigan. That says a lot about the coach.
• 42:10
  Now I'm not saying he out coached Danny Hurley because.
• 42:13
  I am. How did he out coach Danny
• 42:15
  Hurley? He stopped shooting threes and
• 42:16
  went to a high low in the pick and roll.
• 42:18
  That's to got his team. It got his players to get to the
• 42:20
  free throw line. That's three.
• 42:22
  I mean, I don't know how much, how much more you need for that.
• 42:25
  That's three adjustments in in in one game that coaches usually
• 42:29
  don't make. And they they must have listened
• 42:31
  to her arrow marks in regards to shooting free throws.
• 42:34
  So they got to the free throw line.
• 42:35
  Why don't you crown destiny? He won the that's the trip show.
• 42:38
  Why wouldn't you crown him arrow?
• 42:39
  Because he didn't out coach Danny Hurley.
• 42:42
  How did he this this team Michigan?
• 42:45
  Was maybe 3. Michigan, Michigan was the best
• 42:47
  team going into the store. The they were the number one
• 42:50
  seed. UConn a lot of people question
• 42:52
  that they shouldn't have been a number two seed.
• 42:54
  Some people thought they were a four seed.
• 42:56
  They were that much better than UConn all season long, all
• 43:00
  season long. And you're going to tell me
• 43:02
  UConn lost six games, This team lost three games and Michigan is
• 43:06
  in a harder, We could say it. They're in a harder division.
• 43:08
  They're in the harder, harder conference.
• 43:11
  So and, and, and if you look at who Michigan had to beat all
• 43:14
  season long to what Connecticut had to beat, it's not even
• 43:17
  close. It's not even an argument.
• 43:19
  The fact here is Danny Hurley should not have been in the
• 43:22
  national championship game. He kept it close, but Michigan
• 43:26
  kept them close. The only reason why Michigan let
• 43:31
  this game stay close is because they couldn't hit a three-point
• 43:34
  shot. None of them could.
• 43:36
  They've been the best reported shoot shooting team in the
• 43:39
  tournament. They were the best.
• 43:41
  And then they go into the national championship and
• 43:43
  they're 2 for 15 and you think that's great coaching?
• 43:46
  No Did. They made an adjustment, did
• 43:48
  they not? What?
• 43:49
  Who made an adjustment? Destiny may just take a half,
• 43:53
  did he not? Did he?
• 43:54
  Because they still were missing 3 point shots.
• 43:57
  They were still what adjustment? Did not attack.
• 44:00
  Was it not high lows? Was it not picking roads?
• 44:02
  Did they not get to the line they can't?
• 44:04
  See here saying he didn't adjust because they didn't hit 3
• 44:06
  pointers. Did you watch the rest of the?
• 44:08
  Game. Yeah, I watched the whole
• 44:09
  second-half of the game and I don't know what you were
• 44:11
  watching because if you were watching the game you would
• 44:14
  know. Threes the whole second-half.
• 44:16
  They shot a lot of threes in the second-half.
• 44:18
  They just shoot threes. No team shoots just threes in
• 44:21
  the halves. So they made an adjustment.
• 44:23
  Oh, that's not an adjustment. They still missed a lot of
• 44:26
  threes. That's all I'm asking.
• 44:29
  I'm not saying Dusty May wasn't good, but to say that he out
• 44:33
  coached Danny Hurley is a joke. That's not true.
• 44:36
  That's not. True, and he won't.
• 44:37
  He came out on top. He didn't.
• 44:39
  He did not. He did it.
• 44:41
  He came out, he came out, he decided to Pat Riley the game up
• 44:44
  from the 90s with the Knicks. Like he's like, I'm just, we
• 44:46
  can't shoot. Let's just go 90s, beat
• 44:49
  everybody up inside and see what happens.
• 44:52
  Fish he only they only shot threes with Earl saw he saw the
• 44:56
  host. That's not what I'm saying.
• 44:57
  I don't know what you're talking about.
• 44:59
  You're taking words out of my mouth.
• 45:01
  I never said that. I never said that.
• 45:03
  What I'm saying is you're saying that Dustin May outcoach Danny
• 45:07
  Hurley, which he didn't. He didn't outcoach.
• 45:10
  The players just made the adjustment.
• 45:12
  What are you talking about? Danny Hurley's not telling these
• 45:15
  guys to foul. He says, oh God, wait, what?
• 45:18
  Do you shoot the layup? Foul.
• 45:20
  That's what he's telling them to do.
• 45:22
  That's not what he's saying. That's I am listening.
• 45:24
  I don't know what you're talking about.
• 45:26
  I was watching the players. They made their own adjustments.
• 45:28
  I completely never gave them Any advice that missed your players
• 45:32
  there? You know what, we're not hitting
• 45:34
  three, so we're going to make the adjustments.
• 45:36
  That's what you're saying. What adjustment?
• 45:38
  You don't want to give Justin made his props.
• 45:39
  What adjustment did they make? We just told you they got
• 45:43
  fouled, they got to the line, they hit free throws, they
• 45:46
  attacked them. They had a high low.
• 45:48
  They used post. So you're telling me, you're
• 45:50
  telling me that was his plan? Go to the hole and get fouled.
• 45:54
  Bigger. Yeah, that's one bigger.
• 45:55
  That's not what happened and I'm.
• 45:56
  Saying that, you're saying it's just the players.
• 45:58
  That's not what happened because if you look at the numbers,
• 46:01
  Connecticut was only outscored by two in the second-half.
• 46:04
  So I don't know why how many adjustments they made.
• 46:07
  They didn't make that many adjustments.
• 46:08
  They were they were O for 9 from three in the first half.
• 46:11
  So they didn't take that many threes in the 2nd and they won
• 46:14
  and they won the paint battle 36 to 22 in the game.
• 46:18
  That's why they won the game. They the paint battle was how
• 46:21
  UConn was. But you're not.
• 46:22
  I I agree with you. They won the game coaching
• 46:24
  thing. I think it was just they were a
• 46:26
  better, better size. They were better players, you
• 46:29
  know. They won the game because they
• 46:31
  were getting to the line and they hit their free throws and
• 46:34
  UConn, even though and Michigan, they were not fouling because a
• 46:38
  lot of the layups and a lot of what UConn was doing in the
• 46:42
  second-half, they weren't. They were open shots.
• 46:44
  They had many times that they can get to the hole.
• 46:47
  They were missing easy layups, easy layups.
• 46:51
  So if you watch the game, which I did in the second-half, Yukon
• 46:56
  couldn't hit a lick. They couldn't even hit a 1760
• 46:59
  foot jumper. How many 3 point shots did we
• 47:02
  see in the second-half that Yukon missed?
• 47:05
  Bro they went 25 of 28 from the line Michigan.
• 47:09
  Yeah, I know. I'm not losing.
• 47:10
  You're not losing if you go 2520. 8 if you actually hit the
• 47:14
  free throws, which UConn couldn't hit the free throws
• 47:16
  prior to this UK, but all of a sudden if Michigan would have
• 47:21
  fouled them they would have been able to hit the worst.
• 47:23
  Of all, first of all, UConn did hit their free throws.
• 47:27
  They were Caravan was 4 for six, Reed was 5 for six and Jaden
• 47:34
  Ross was 3 for four. They couldn't get to the line.
• 47:37
  They couldn't get to the because they were forcing bad shots.
• 47:42
  A lot of these guys, Braylin, and again, everybody keeps
• 47:45
  saying this kid Braylin Mullins is going to be a top pick.
• 47:49
  Some people think he could be a top ten pick.
• 47:51
  Who knows, But he did not play well.
• 47:54
  The one big shot he had against Duke was the final shot of the
• 47:57
  game. He wasn't great.
• 48:00
  He was horrible in the national championship.
• 48:02
  Horrible. And these guys are jumping to go
• 48:05
  play an 82 game schedule in the NBA and they can't get through
• 48:08
  the 3738 games here with their legs.
• 48:11
  Look, it's tough, but you know what I mean?
• 48:13
  Like they won't play as much obviously their first couple
• 48:16
  years in the league. But you look, you're you're
• 48:18
  right. Errol 12 of 16 from the line for
• 48:20
  U Conn before we move on to the carousel, the Michigan 25 to
• 48:24
  2889.3%. That's unheard of in college
• 48:27
  basketball. That's 13 point advantage at the
• 48:30
  line. They won by 6.
• 48:31
  That's good coaching and they coaching making them shoot.
• 48:33
  That's not good coaching. How do you hit that many free
• 48:36
  throws and only win by 6? What?
• 48:38
  Do you mean that's not good? That's not.
• 48:40
  It's not. I think it's a testament to how
• 48:42
  good Danny Hurley is. I just think he had clearly the
• 48:45
  inferior team and maybe the refs just whistle happy for.
• 48:48
  What are we talking the refs now?
• 48:50
  Well, look, whenever is that kind of a discrepancy, you're
• 48:53
  going to say they called it a little differently fish.
• 48:55
  Fish is going to bring out his favorite clip of Danny Hurley.
• 48:57
  He's going to get the refs from last year.
• 49:01
  I will say this, I will say this about dust in May.
• 49:04
  I will give him credit. This is a guy that I will give
• 49:07
  him credit. Let me speak for two years, two
• 49:10
  years he's been there and he finally in his second year wins
• 49:13
  a national championship. This is guy that's been, he's
• 49:16
  been an incredible head coach in, in the NCAA.
• 49:19
  He moved up in the rankings and he's finally got a big job and
• 49:22
  now he's coaching Michigan. Michigan hasn't won a national
• 49:25
  championship since 1989. A lot of people questioning
• 49:28
  picking May out of all the guys you could have picked take over
• 49:31
  the Michigan Wolverines basketball program.
• 49:34
  There was a lot of, you know, back and forth banter on it that
• 49:37
  look at all the talented coaches that were out there that could
• 49:40
  have been brought back. I mean, I'm, I'm not, I don't
• 49:43
  remember exactly who was available, but I'm, I'm, I'm
• 49:45
  pretty sure there was at least three or four big names that
• 49:48
  were out there when he when they decided to go in a you got to
• 49:52
  give him a little bit of credit there because he took over a
• 49:54
  program that has not been successful since 1989.
• 49:57
  And in the 90s when they had the Fab 5 and everybody thought they
• 50:00
  were going to win a national championship and they choked
• 50:02
  because we know Chris Webber was stupid and everybody remembers
• 50:06
  the whole run. Michigan's run to the national
• 50:09
  to go to a national championship was left.
• 50:12
  Everything was the site was was time out when they had no time
• 50:16
  outs with one second left of the game.
• 50:18
  So that's the truth. Oh, he was stupid because he
• 50:20
  didn't know. Go ahead.
• 50:23
  Coach. Yeah, we're just saying before
• 50:25
  we get into the next. Segment, you know, the athletic
• 50:28
  director of Michigan has been really embattled with the
• 50:32
  football team. You talk about this choice for
• 50:34
  Dusty May what a move by this guy.
• 50:38
  This just bought him another bunch of years because think
• 50:41
  about it like it's amazing he didn't get fired with everything
• 50:44
  that happened with the football team.
• 50:45
  I also personally love him because he was the AD of my
• 50:48
  college when I was there, SUNY Buffalo back in the day.
• 50:50
  He's the only guy that brought us to he's the first guy to
• 50:53
  bring us to the tournament. He's the first guy to get a
• 50:54
  winning record for that football team and he recruited Khalil
• 50:57
  Mack. And all I'll say is that guy is
• 51:01
  really good and you're seeing it right now.
• 51:04
  Maybe not morally 100 with the stuff that's gone over there,
• 51:08
  but he clearly is good at his job.
• 51:11
  I'm not. And again, I'm not taking shots.
• 51:13
  In May I just, I, I don't know if he actually out coached Danny
• 51:17
  Hurley. He didn't do that.
• 51:18
  Danny Hurley had every bit of a chance to win this game and come
• 51:22
  back and win this game. He just, his team couldn't hit a
• 51:25
  lick. But that was going into the
• 51:27
  tournament. The problem with UConn
• 51:29
  throughout the season was they were hot and cold.
• 51:31
  Offensive hot and cold. Why did St.
• 51:34
  John's completely dominated in the second time they played him
• 51:36
  this year? Why?
• 51:38
  Because they couldn't hit a lick.
• 51:39
  The first time they played St. John's, they hit every shot.
• 51:42
  The second time they played St. John's, they couldn't hit
• 51:44
  anything. So again, my argument here isn't
• 51:47
  that I'm not giving both coaches a lot of credit, I'm giving them
• 51:51
  both credit. I just thought that Danny
• 51:53
  Hurley, if his team could have figured out how to hit a couple
• 51:57
  of three-point shots or get to the line, they win the game or
• 52:00
  keep keep Michigan off the line. So that's all I'm saying.
• 52:03
  But we can't credit Dusty May for get his team.
• 52:06
  Cross the line. I'm not saying get in the free
• 52:08
  time. I am not.
• 52:09
  You never gave him credit. You never gave him credit.
• 52:12
  What do you? What do you say?
• 52:13
  He got a championship. Since 89 kisses.
• 52:15
  Yes, I'm not going to say go right back to dead Hurley after
• 52:19
  you say he didn't get it, because I'm telling you he.
• 52:23
  Could have won this game. Because if you would have got
• 52:25
  because I'm telling, because I'm telling you, because I'm.
• 52:29
  Telling you, Danny Early still had a chance to win the game,
• 52:32
  and that had something to do with the way he called the game
• 52:35
  defensively. That's what I'm saying.
• 52:37
  He did it. He did it.
• 52:39
  He did, really. Really.
• 52:41
  He never did Michigan. Michigan was forced to shoot
• 52:44
  bad. Trees.
• 52:45
  They won the game. They were shoot they.
• 52:47
  Were making up. They were forced.
• 52:49
  To shoot bad threes throughout the game, they were who did it.
• 52:53
  What are you talking, Danny Hurley, Who made them shoot the
• 52:56
  bad threes? The defense, you know, they did.
• 53:00
  Play defense. Oh my gosh.
• 53:01
  All right. Concrete jungle carousel
• 53:03
  welcome. To the jungle.
• 53:06
  We got. Fun and games you know where
• 53:08
  you. Are in the.
• 53:11
  Jungle baby welcome. I'm trying to put tiger bomb.
• 53:14
  On this jungle's nuts to the. Concrete jungle carousel, you
• 53:17
  got it. I am absolutely lost from the
• 53:26
  first segment. I am well completely lost.
• 53:28
  Let's we're they're going to keep you lost a little bit.
• 53:30
  We're going. To kept these.
• 53:31
  Carousels spinning real quick. We got to get into it.
• 53:34
  Let's start it off with some baseball.
• 53:38
  Here it is for tonight. Let me get the right view.
• 53:40
  Here we go, right there. All right, and I'll pop up here
• 53:45
  for queue. Take a look.
• 53:46
  The Yankees today almost got no hit by the Athletics.
• 53:50
  They just lost the series two games to 1/2.
• 53:54
  I guess the Sacramento A's, even though I don't think they're
• 53:56
  legally allowed to call themselves the Sacramento A's.
• 53:58
  See, you're going to figure that one out for US.
• 54:01
  One hit, they lost two games, a lot of strikeouts.
• 54:05
  The A's were not supposed to have a good pitching step.
• 54:07
  They were supposed to have a good lineup, but this was the
• 54:08
  pitching that got the Yankees done in in this series.
• 54:12
  Kind of curious how that happened.
• 54:15
  Here's the here's the back and forth banter.
• 54:17
  On this I it's early in the season, the Yankees have not hit
• 54:21
  the ball in consistency. Now we knew going into the the
• 54:24
  season, we're wondering where the offense is going to come in
• 54:27
  this lineup. Giancarlo Stanton has been very
• 54:29
  good for the Yankees early in the season.
• 54:32
  Bellinger has been very good in the early in the season.
• 54:35
  Aaron Judge is trying is trying to figure out what's going on
• 54:38
  with his bat. But this lineup has been hot and
• 54:41
  cold and, and throughout the last couple of years, this this
• 54:44
  lineup, when they get guys in guys in scoring position has a
• 54:48
  problem getting those guys to score.
• 54:51
  And that's the problem with the Yankees right now.
• 54:52
  Again, it's the Oakland Athletics.
• 54:55
  As the season progresses and it gets a little warmer, I think
• 54:58
  you're going to see more home runs.
• 54:59
  You're going to see more hits. I'm not worried about the
• 55:02
  Yankees offense. It's just everybody was talking
• 55:04
  about how well the Yankees were playing and at one point they
• 55:06
  were seven and one, and now all of a sudden they're eight and
• 55:09
  four and we're worried about, oh, my God, are the Yankees
• 55:13
  falling apart right in front of her eyes?
• 55:14
  It's early in the season. Did they look good in the last
• 55:17
  two games? No.
• 55:18
  But again, it's still. They're trying to get their feet
• 55:21
  under them. It's still very cold.
• 55:22
  It's, what, 40° outside right now?
• 55:25
  When it gets warmer, the ball will start traveling and you're
• 55:28
  going to see more home runs for the New York Yankees.
• 55:30
  Yeah, it's only a matter of time before they were going to like
• 55:32
  flop against A. Bad pitching staff.
• 55:34
  It's not going to happen so long because the Yankees pitching is
• 55:36
  still holding its own, and I think the Yankees bats will find
• 55:38
  it eventually. One bad pitching staff's going
• 55:40
  to have one good performance a year and then under 62 games and
• 55:42
  they won a game when Schlittler was on.
• 55:44
  The mound and he didn't pitch well.
• 55:46
  They still found a way to win that game.
• 55:48
  Come back in the 8th inning, got four runs and won that game.
• 55:51
  Could you imagine if they got swept by the A's?
• 55:53
  Oh yeah, I think if Judge don't figure it out.
• 55:57
  And and lead the team. I think they're going to have
• 55:58
  struggle from but but struggle from the beginning and then
• 56:03
  excuse me, struggle in the beginning of the season.
• 56:05
  But I think that they've been playing well overall as far as
• 56:09
  the pitching wise, But they got to they got to hit the ball man
• 56:13
  season's early. It's too cold out to be playing.
• 56:15
  Baseball. We'll.
• 56:16
  See how it goes. As if things warm up the Mets.
• 56:19
  This isn't actually, this is actually more of an economic
• 56:21
  story. I sent this one to Speedy.
• 56:23
  He couldn't believe it. So, Steve.
• 56:25
  Steve Cohen took shots at Mets fans.
• 56:29
  If you remember back at the end of January, he decided, you
• 56:32
  know, he, he said that many fans that won free ticket giveaways
• 56:36
  didn't go. He believes that 58% of the fans
• 56:40
  that won tickets did not go to the games.
• 56:43
  He's so frustrated with this, he started tweeting about it
• 56:46
  earlier today. He's surprised about how some of
• 56:49
  the new offseason editions haven't spawned more attendance
• 56:52
  overall. And it's really for me as a
• 56:55
  economics teacher who's taught it for a number of years, you,
• 56:59
  you wonder what it, what the incentive is behind not going to
• 57:03
  a free game. And you realize if there wasn't
• 57:04
  any value to it, I'm treated as valuable.
• 57:07
  And it's a very interesting dynamic.
• 57:09
  I, I can answer this question. Brandon Nimmo was.
• 57:12
  A fan favorite? Pete Alonzo was a fan favorite.
• 57:15
  So who did you add in the offseason?
• 57:18
  Simeons. I'm not too excited about that.
• 57:21
  Polanco. Are you kidding me?
• 57:23
  From Seattle. Nobody even knows who Jorge
• 57:25
  Polanco is. Then you're bringing Beau
• 57:27
  Bouchette. You're moving into third base.
• 57:29
  Yeah, he's a great player. You won a hitting title, batting
• 57:31
  title, great. But this is a guy that's been on
• 57:34
  and off, can't stay healthy. And then you had Peralta at the
• 57:38
  tail end of the offseason. Great pitcher, but still has not
• 57:43
  pitched in New York. So what did you do?
• 57:45
  You lost 2 fan favorite players. Years for four guys that are, to
• 57:51
  me are not better than the two guys you lost.
• 57:54
  That's the reason why. And as far as I'm concerned when
• 57:56
  it comes to economics, well, if you're charging $10.00 for a hot
• 58:00
  dog and $30.00 for, you know, a meal, a nugget meal, or you're
• 58:05
  going to Shake Shack and buying a hamburger for $20.00.
• 58:09
  I mean, am I really excited about going to a Mets game?
• 58:13
  I mean, I go to Carvel when I went to a Met game and it's like
• 58:16
  $12.00 for a Carvel hat. Come on, it's so expensive.
• 58:20
  They're not the Yankees. I got news for you.
• 58:22
  And until the A, until the Mets start winning consistently, they
• 58:26
  did it last year early in the season.
• 58:28
  They were hotter than the Yankees.
• 58:29
  Last season, early in the season, I actually lost the bet
• 58:32
  with one of my friends out in the hospital because I said that
• 58:35
  the Yankees would have a better record than the Mets.
• 58:37
  In the 1st 25 games, the Mets had the better record.
• 58:40
  But what happened to the Mets at the tail end of the season?
• 58:42
  They had a catastrophical, catastrophic loss and they lost
• 58:47
  almost every single game. They lost their big time in.
• 58:50
  Is the only person that can hit with Soto.
• 58:52
  And that's what happened. They fell apart.
• 58:53
  Yeah. And that's where the
• 58:54
  expectations came in, too. If.
• 58:56
  You're judging a season. Oh, are they really going to be
• 58:58
  as good as their advertise? Even though they spent a lot in
• 59:00
  the offseason, they made all these roster, I guess,
• 59:03
  rearrangements pretty much last year.
• 59:05
  It was OK Mets went to the NLCS, They went to go get 1 soda.
• 59:08
  We're going to get early season attendance.
• 59:10
  And that's what Steve Cohen was hinting at.
• 59:11
  And you should have known when you're losing a lot of these fan
• 59:14
  favorite players, Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, what's going to
• 59:16
  happen? Pete Alonso was the biggest fan
• 59:18
  favorite. To lose a player like that, to
• 59:21
  go to the Baltimore Orioles and I know a lot of people were not
• 59:25
  happy with Stearns. Stearns is on the hot seat.
• 59:28
  Say whatever you want. If this team does not make the
• 59:31
  playoffs this year, Stearns should be fired.
• 59:34
  I know he's Steve Cohen's uncle Stevie's butt buddy.
• 59:37
  It's like a son to him. But if I'm a fan, I do not want
• 59:41
  to I do not want to see David Stearns running my organization
• 59:44
  next year after all the money this guy has invested into all
• 59:47
  these players. Right.
• 59:48
  And you mentioned like but I would say besides Bichette all.
• 59:50
  The other players that they added are not like these fan fun
• 59:53
  players. Like Simeon's a more
• 59:54
  fundamentally sound guy, but he's a journeyman and Roberts
• 59:58
  never on the field. So Bichette's really the only
• 59:59
  fun one and he's not even hitting right now.
• 1:00:01
  Did Baltimore actually overpay Pete Alonso?
• 1:00:03
  No, no they didn't. No market value.
• 1:00:06
  It was a market value. Contract.
• 1:00:09
  And he goes to Baltimore. And one of the main reasons why
• 1:00:11
  Peter Lonzo did not play for Team USA is he wanted to get
• 1:00:15
  ready for the season that that says a lot about who he is as a
• 1:00:18
  player. He was the one that told the
• 1:00:20
  Mets that I'm getting rid of all my social medias because I want
• 1:00:23
  to stand for something. I want to make sure that I am
• 1:00:25
  concentrating on the game, not concentrating on what's going on
• 1:00:28
  around me. That's the leader.
• 1:00:30
  And your polar bear, as the Mets gave him the nickname Polar
• 1:00:34
  Bear, you let him go to the Baltimore Orioles so we can die
• 1:00:38
  there. Great.
• 1:00:41
  All right, let's. Let's pick.
• 1:00:42
  Up the pace on the. Carousel, we have a guest coming
• 1:00:44
  in soon I believe. So let's take a look at quickly
• 1:00:48
  at basketball. We're not going to talk about
• 1:00:50
  the Nets because let's face there's no reason to at this
• 1:00:52
  point till we get to the track when they beat the Bucks.
• 1:00:57
  I got something. For you on the Bucks.
• 1:00:58
  Late, late, late. Tonight.
• 1:00:59
  But the Knicks, Speedy's got an interesting 1 here.
• 1:01:04
  Mike Brown just keeps doing the old Tom Thibodeau thing and
• 1:01:07
  playing the same starting lineup no matter what, and they only
• 1:01:10
  have a + 1.1 net rating this season.
• 1:01:13
  That lineup is Brunson, Hart, Bridges and Nobi and Towns.
• 1:01:18
  The biggest issue that that lineup has is they don't put
• 1:01:21
  centers on Towns anymore. If you put a center on Towns,
• 1:01:25
  guess what? He beats them every time.
• 1:01:27
  He has offensive efficiency of a 114.
• 1:01:30
  But if you put a forward on Towns or a big wing and you put
• 1:01:33
  the center on Josh Hart, who's not much of a three-point
• 1:01:35
  threat, which is what teams do, it goes down to an 83, which is
• 1:01:39
  way below average in the NBA. Combine that with a lack of
• 1:01:43
  defense at times more than at times, you kind of see, I don't
• 1:01:48
  know, maybe to Speedy's right. Thibodeau Redux 2 point O here,
• 1:01:53
  running it into the ground. I do not agree with that.
• 1:01:55
  First of all, if you. Look at Mike Brown, he his team
• 1:01:59
  has a top ten offense and a top 10 defense.
• 1:02:02
  How many teams right now in the NBA are doing that?
• 1:02:04
  And, and right now, if you look at Mike Brown, Mike Brown is one
• 1:02:08
  win away from passing or tying Pat Riley for most wins in his
• 1:02:12
  first season with the New York Knicks.
• 1:02:14
  He's already breaking records. Now we have to see what Mike
• 1:02:18
  Brown going to do in the playoffs and how is he going How
• 1:02:20
  is he going to lead this team and lead this team to battle
• 1:02:23
  against some of the elite teams in the NBA?
• 1:02:25
  If he does, he's had a great season first season.
• 1:02:28
  What do you want him to do? What more do you want this guy
• 1:02:30
  to do? They already has had they
• 1:02:32
  already have fifty wins. They have a chance to win 55 to
• 1:02:36
  56 games. How many Nick coaches have ever
• 1:02:38
  done that in their first year? I mean it's it's pretty
• 1:02:41
  impressive what Mike Brown's doing right now.
• 1:02:43
  I don't care about statistics. Still one of the best defenses
• 1:02:46
  in the league right now, top five and and one of in the top
• 1:02:49
  10 offenses in all the in the whole league.
• 1:02:51
  And how many teams are doing that right in FBI?
• 1:02:53
  Maybe 3, maybe three teams are in the top ten in both
• 1:02:57
  statistics and both offensive defense.
• 1:02:59
  It's been a very impressive first year for Mike Brown.
• 1:03:02
  Yeah. The big key I think will not I'm
• 1:03:04
  not as worried about. Towns when it comes to those
• 1:03:05
  playoff matches because there will be times he will be able to
• 1:03:07
  get height advantage and also be able to be powerful on like
• 1:03:10
  smaller forwards that are maybe they're matching up with threes.
• 1:03:13
  But Josh Hart, rotating him around and try to be strategic
• 1:03:15
  with him if you're going to play him that much, will be a big key
• 1:03:17
  that I think have to get it going.
• 1:03:19
  Because Fish, you talked about it last month too.
• 1:03:21
  You're talking about them playing the Draymond Green role
• 1:03:23
  with him essentially trying to be a facilitator because he's
• 1:03:25
  not going to be able to outshoot guys that are that much bigger
• 1:03:28
  than him. But if they can rotate him
• 1:03:29
  around, get spacing, I think that'll be a help still.
• 1:03:32
  Yeah, I think they're front runners, but and I think
• 1:03:34
  they're. Running off the momentum from
• 1:03:35
  last year, but they are doing well this season in regards to
• 1:03:38
  winning games and whatnot. But I think that the hype and
• 1:03:41
  expectation of them getting back to the Eastern Concert Finals is
• 1:03:45
  just behind us. So I would just say Towns is not
• 1:03:49
  going to be a true big man. So that's going to always be the
• 1:03:51
  kryptonite to them being successful and deep in the
• 1:03:54
  playoffs. I hope you're wrong, but I don't
• 1:03:57
  think. I'd be.
• 1:03:57
  I hope I will too. But.
• 1:04:00
  I still think you guys match up bad against.
• 1:04:02
  Us we'll see tonight they're playing tonight the it's early
• 1:04:06
  it's. Early.
• 1:04:07
  All right. Let's move on to football,
• 1:04:10
  everyone's favorite sport. Very important that we get into
• 1:04:14
  a couple of things here. The Giants signed this guard,
• 1:04:19
  another player from the Ravens. His name is I forget where is
• 1:04:24
  his first name is Fal Lele is his last name Daniel Fal Lele
• 1:04:28
  Fala Lele. Sorry, he you know, not a not a
• 1:04:31
  great guard, but 68380 right. That tells you a number one
• 1:04:39
  thing to as a football coach me. I know they're running gap
• 1:04:42
  scheme Qi know if they're got the big boys, they are running
• 1:04:47
  power. They are bringing back, you
• 1:04:49
  know, the Harbaugh daddy, the Grandpa Harbaugh style of
• 1:04:53
  football, football counter tray, power Smash Mouth.
• 1:04:57
  And that's very exciting to me as a Giants fan.
• 1:05:00
  I'd love to see that brand of football.
• 1:05:02
  Do you think the Giants can go back to being a Smash Mouth
• 1:05:06
  team? Not what they're running game
• 1:05:08
  they have right now. You don't even know if Scataboo
• 1:05:11
  is going to be 100% healthy. Who's their other running back,
• 1:05:13
  Tracy? They don't have dominant running
• 1:05:16
  backs. It doesn't matter how big their
• 1:05:18
  offensive line is going to be or who's running behind them.
• 1:05:21
  If they don't have a star running back, then they're not
• 1:05:24
  going to be able to play that power game.
• 1:05:26
  He and Derrick Henry over there in Baltimore last year.
• 1:05:29
  Derrick Henry, there's nobody on this team right now that even
• 1:05:33
  compares to Derek Henry. I know you're a big Giant fan.
• 1:05:36
  I know you're going to appreciate everything.
• 1:05:38
  John Horrible, who's bringing to this team.
• 1:05:40
  Here's what I'm telling you. It don't matter what he's
• 1:05:43
  bringing, no matter how big the offensive line is, if they don't
• 1:05:46
  have a great running back, Jameer Love, that's what they
• 1:05:49
  should be doing. If the if the Giants want to
• 1:05:51
  have a unique running game and they're looking to be a dominant
• 1:05:55
  run team, well, they got to go after the biggest offensive
• 1:05:58
  option in this year's draft, and that's Jeremiah.
• 1:06:01
  I love that's it. That's the only way the Giants
• 1:06:03
  are going to be elite over there, no matter how big their
• 1:06:07
  offensive line is. I was talking with the early
• 1:06:09
  fish, all the random running backs.
• 1:06:10
  With the Ravens have cycled through their system now all of
• 1:06:12
  them had good either good power or good vision.
• 1:06:14
  But again, we'll we'll see what the giants they have enough of
• 1:06:17
  the guys that have the vision to make the gap scheme work in.
• 1:06:19
  Do you think they have an elite running game?
• 1:06:21
  No, I don't think they have an. Elite running game.
• 1:06:23
  You think this is a? Good running game, I I think
• 1:06:25
  Harbaugh. 'S track record with guys.
• 1:06:27
  I do think it's a good running game.
• 1:06:28
  I do not I. Definitely think it's a good
• 1:06:29
  running. I run Tracy 1000 scrimmage yards
• 1:06:32
  two straight seasons in his two years in the league.
• 1:06:34
  Please. He's their backup running back.
• 1:06:36
  Yeah, talk to him. Yeah.
• 1:06:37
  So listen, I I. Yeah, I think his fools go, but
• 1:06:40
  I think you know, I don't think I think you thought he was
• 1:06:43
  trying to say it was going to be like top five.
• 1:06:45
  I think Fish just wanted you to compare whether or not they can
• 1:06:47
  ask the gaps game and actually run the ball like the New York
• 1:06:50
  football Giants is is known for They will not like they're
• 1:06:53
  supposed to. They definitely.
• 1:06:55
  Will they have to what? Do you need them?
• 1:06:58
  They're in a division right now. Where?
• 1:07:00
  Washington's going to be a better running game, the Dallas
• 1:07:03
  Cowboys are going to be a better running game, and the Eagles are
• 1:07:05
  going to be a better running game.
• 1:07:07
  So please, they're not even the best running team in their
• 1:07:09
  division. Please.
• 1:07:11
  I'm not so sold on Washington, but I am.
• 1:07:13
  I am, I think, Washington I. I do.
• 1:07:16
  I like Washington. I like Washington very much so
• 1:07:19
  this year, as a matter of fact, Washington makes the playoffs
• 1:07:21
  this year. Oh, you should have saved that
• 1:07:24
  for. Our next segment.
• 1:07:25
  After the guest do so today that's.
• 1:07:29
  The Washington Bank of the. Playoffs.
• 1:07:30
  Would be a deuce of the day for the Giants fans.
• 1:07:33
  All right, I want to talk about the.
• 1:07:35
  Jets real quick and The Jets had where is The Jets?
• 1:07:40
  Probably something bad cuz like fish likes to throw those.
• 1:07:42
  Out. No, it's good.
• 1:07:44
  Good for the Giants. Bad for The Jets?
• 1:07:47
  About the fact that you know. They were so bad last year.
• 1:07:50
  They have #2 pick in the draft. I figured, and I figured that
• 1:07:53
  that's the way he's going a lot. Of people are debating, it's
• 1:07:56
  either Bailey. Or Reese.
• 1:07:58
  That's it. That's the decision between the
• 1:08:00
  two of them. That's what we're hearing on the
• 1:08:03
  latest big board on The Athletic by Dame Bruegler.
• 1:08:06
  He released it today. The Beast guide, everyone's
• 1:08:10
  ranked #1 guide. He has Reese as the number one
• 1:08:13
  player in the draft over every single guy.
• 1:08:15
  He thinks he's going to be a superstar.
• 1:08:17
  What do you think about Reese going to?
• 1:08:19
  I like Reese. We'll have to see where they're
• 1:08:22
  going to use him. He could, he could be used as a
• 1:08:24
  linebacker. You could be used in many
• 1:08:26
  different styles of defense. Now I, I want to see him.
• 1:08:29
  He thinks he's an edge rusher. I think you can use him as a guy
• 1:08:33
  that can. What we see Michael Parsons when
• 1:08:35
  he was with the Cowboys in the beginning, they move them all
• 1:08:37
  over the line. I think that's what you're going
• 1:08:39
  to have to do with Reese. Let him feel confident, let him
• 1:08:42
  feel comfortable on that defense.
• 1:08:44
  And then if you believe he's an elite rusher, then you put him
• 1:08:48
  on the edge all the time like they did with Michael Parsons in
• 1:08:50
  the beginning. Michael Parsons was a
• 1:08:52
  linebacker. They moved him inside.
• 1:08:54
  They moved him on on the outside.
• 1:08:55
  They moved them all over that line.
• 1:08:57
  I think that's what Reese is. I think to me, athletically
• 1:09:00
  gifted. He's more athletically gifted
• 1:09:03
  than Michael Parsons was coming out of the draft.
• 1:09:05
  Yeah. And the versatility should not
• 1:09:07
  make a difference when it comes to the position.
• 1:09:08
  I know. Everyone's worried about the raw
• 1:09:10
  position being a big deal. He's that explosive, he's that
• 1:09:12
  talented in two positions, and The Jets are not one pass rusher
• 1:09:16
  wave, are they? Oh, I have to go take the sure
• 1:09:18
  thing. Yeah, Bailey's more polished.
• 1:09:19
  He's got four years compared to like he's playing a natural
• 1:09:22
  position more, but he's still in his straight, still much more.
• 1:09:27
  Yeah, I think they'll be good. We're going with Reese.
• 1:09:30
  I think he's going to have to put on some weight.
• 1:09:31
  I would not address what Earl said as far as him being better
• 1:09:34
  than Michael Parson, but I do think that the kid could be good
• 1:09:38
  as a good as rusher if he put some more weight on.
• 1:09:40
  I don't necessarily think they will use it as much as a
• 1:09:42
  linebacker, but definitely as a airs rusher.
• 1:09:44
  They'll need somebody to kind of, you know, attempt to get to
• 1:09:48
  the quarterback. But why does he have, why does
• 1:09:51
  he have to put on some rate? Wait, right now he's 240.
• 1:09:54
  He was. 24640 ain't gonna cut it.
• 1:09:56
  He's 246. He's 246.
• 1:09:58
  He's 2. 46 Really, he would have played.
• 1:09:59
  A lot, by the way, he's. Heavier than Michael Parsons was
• 1:10:02
  coming out of the draft. He's not talented.
• 1:10:05
  You just said he's the bottom better talented.
• 1:10:07
  I absolutely believe that he is. I absolutely believe he is.
• 1:10:11
  So the thing that before we move on from him, I was listening
• 1:10:14
  and. Reading a bunch of about him and
• 1:10:16
  he played the joker role in that.
• 1:10:18
  That's kind of like that strong side stand up outside linebacker
• 1:10:21
  that he could be down with a hand down, but he's usually
• 1:10:23
  stand up, his feet are switched and he's going to and or he
• 1:10:27
  could, you know, if they don't have the right formation, he
• 1:10:29
  becomes a 43 linebacker, right? A strong side linebacker.
• 1:10:32
  All you have to do is go from over to under and now he's in
• 1:10:34
  the A gap and now he's blitzing a gap and that's a really
• 1:10:38
  diverse skill set because that position, we tried running a
• 1:10:40
  defense years ago in high school with that position.
• 1:10:43
  You only do that if you have your best player play in that
• 1:10:46
  position. That defense works because you
• 1:10:48
  have a guy that can play that like 3 different positions at
• 1:10:51
  the same time role. You have the interior D lineman
• 1:10:55
  issue as well. They need to.
• 1:10:56
  Address so that that might be a very big concern in regards to
• 1:11:00
  put him down there and a lot of teams gonna probably be hesitant
• 1:11:03
  or The Jets probably going to be hesitant putting down in the a
• 1:11:05
  gap being that he had 240. I can tell you right now he get
• 1:11:09
  down there 240 for a ride. All right, let's, let's move.
• 1:11:15
  On to and we. Have our guest in.
• 1:11:17
  So I'm just going to do a real quick hockey, just kind of go
• 1:11:21
  through everything. Looks like, you know, the the
• 1:11:24
  Rangers had one shot in the third.
• 1:11:26
  The Devils fire their general manager, Tom Fitzgerald.
• 1:11:29
  After six seasons, it looks like everyone was kind of saying that
• 1:11:33
  everyone hated Patrick Wah on the team and that's why he was
• 1:11:36
  gone. The Sabres, they clinched the
• 1:11:38
  playoff spot. They're up two points on the
• 1:11:41
  Lightning. Canadians.
• 1:11:42
  They may end up with the top record in the East.
• 1:11:46
  Pretty crazy for hockey. I love Buffalo.
• 1:11:48
  Buffalo is going to be dangerous.
• 1:11:49
  And if the Islanders sneak? Into the playoffs and right now
• 1:11:52
  they're looking on the outside. They're going to be matched up
• 1:11:54
  against Buffalo. Who wouldn't want to see both?
• 1:11:56
  The injury, though, for Buffalo. Errol a Lion.
• 1:11:59
  Lower body injury might not be ready for the playoffs.
• 1:12:02
  He probably will. And their their backup goalie's
• 1:12:04
  pretty damn good too. Buffalo has got a great overall
• 1:12:07
  team. They have 4 great lines.
• 1:12:09
  Their their top 2 lines are one of the two of the best lines in
• 1:12:13
  the NHL right now. They're putting up some great
• 1:12:14
  points. Tage Thompson is one of the best
• 1:12:17
  young American players right now in the whole in the whole NHL.
• 1:12:21
  So I love Buffalo. As far as Patrick Wall and
• 1:12:23
  loving or hating Patrick Wall, everybody's going to talk.
• 1:12:26
  Everybody's going to speak about it.
• 1:12:28
  Was Patrick Wall loved by the organization?
• 1:12:30
  Probably not. He was also handed to Darsh.
• 1:12:34
  Darsh didn't pick Patrick Wah. He was told he had to keep
• 1:12:37
  Patrick Wah. And Patrick Wah hired his coach.
• 1:12:40
  He hired the coach that he probably would have hired if if
• 1:12:44
  Patrick Wah was fired. So I'm not going to, I'm not
• 1:12:47
  going to go out there and and blame Patrick Wahr and say that
• 1:12:49
  anybody hated him. As far as the Rangers, we know
• 1:12:53
  where the Rangers are going. The Rangers want to be as high
• 1:12:55
  as they possibly can in that draft and they're going to lose
• 1:12:58
  as many games as they possibly they can to get as high as they
• 1:13:01
  possibly can go. And the Devils, Jack Hughes is a
• 1:13:05
  sensational player. Jack Hughes can't stay healthy.
• 1:13:08
  If Jack Hughes doesn't stay healthy for a full season, the
• 1:13:11
  Devils won't be an elite team ever.
• 1:13:14
  And that's all I'm going to say. They tried to trade or they were
• 1:13:17
  thinking of Trout trading Dougie Hamilton.
• 1:13:19
  That never happened too, because nobody wants that contract and
• 1:13:22
  Dougie Hamilton is one of the highest paid defenseman in the
• 1:13:25
  NHL. Go ask the Rangers in Jacob
• 1:13:28
  Truba. We don't have a hard that was to
• 1:13:30
  move, Yeah. And they're going to be stuck
• 1:13:31
  with that. They're going to be stuck with
• 1:13:33
  Timo Meyer. That hasn't worked out.
• 1:13:34
  After that first year they traded for him and whoever's new
• 1:13:36
  GM is going to be very stuck. The Islanders.
• 1:13:39
  I think the other thing I was hearing was Sarokin obviously
• 1:13:41
  was having some tension with him.
• 1:13:42
  I mean, he we talked about Errol on the on the weekend crunch DA
• 1:13:45
  Scheber Verlamov in the beginning.
• 1:13:46
  I think that kind of rubbed off on him in the wrong way.
• 1:13:48
  And now he was trying to quote UN quote protect him and you
• 1:13:50
  were even bashing him too for like how much they're playing.
• 1:13:52
  The backup goalies make no sense.
• 1:13:53
  And congratulations to Buffalo. I'm not worried about the goalie
• 1:13:56
  thing they put Soon Lekin in him anyway.
• 1:13:59
  Yeah. So I just want to finish off.
• 1:14:02
  One thing I forgot to talk about is the Buffalo Bills.
• 1:14:04
  Since you said the Sabres, they have been inquiring about Dexter
• 1:14:09
  Lawrence and the the deal that I'm seeing here is a potential
• 1:14:14
  deal is their first round pick #26 and Keon Coleman as a
• 1:14:21
  package. And that is fascinating because
• 1:14:25
  Keon Coleman has a lot of potential that he has not
• 1:14:28
  reached yet. On the other hand, on the other
• 1:14:31
  hand, the Bills are getting killed.
• 1:14:35
  The Athletics Mike Sandoz says the Bills made a huge mistake
• 1:14:39
  giving up a second round pick for DJ Moore because they were
• 1:14:41
  going to cut him. And the other GMs are looking at
• 1:14:46
  Brandon being like he's completely lost his fastball.
• 1:14:48
  First of all, DJ Moore is going to be unbelievable.
• 1:14:52
  With Josh Allen, so I don't think it's going to hurt them.
• 1:14:55
  Obviously they they could have dropped him, tossed them away,
• 1:14:58
  whatever. DJ Moore is worth the second
• 1:15:00
  round draft pick as far as the Giants are concerned.
• 1:15:03
  If they want Kian Coleman, by all means take him.
• 1:15:06
  I'm a florist, a fan. The guy stinks, He's not good.
• 1:15:11
  And if you're going to get a first round draft pick for
• 1:15:13
  Dexter Lawrence, you better get a good one because to me, Dexter
• 1:15:17
  Lawrence is still an elite pass rusher in the league.
• 1:15:20
  And what they're going to get at 26 is not going to be elite.
• 1:15:23
  Big mistake for the New York Giants if they think about
• 1:15:26
  bringing Keon Coleman as their number two guy.
• 1:15:29
  Please. Yeah, they should do everything
• 1:15:31
  they can to trade. Make that trade with the Giants.
• 1:15:32
  If that's a. Rumor there's no player that's
• 1:15:35
  going to be worth that trash to pick up 26 and yeah, I don't
• 1:15:37
  trust Greg Roman. You're going to trade Dexter
• 1:15:40
  Lawrence for Keon Cole? No, I'm.
• 1:15:42
  Not saying the Giants should do, saying that was all horrible
• 1:15:45
  training. I think it's.
• 1:15:46
  Absolutely great for the bill. That's the goal.
• 1:15:48
  For the first round, pick. Before Dexter Lawrence got hurt
• 1:15:51
  this year, Dexter Lawrence was considered.
• 1:15:53
  A top three defensive lineman and all of football.
• 1:15:56
  He was not hurt. He was hurt this year.
• 1:15:58
  He will come back next year. He's still fairly young.
• 1:16:00
  He's 2627 and you're going to trade him for Keon Coleman in
• 1:16:04
  the 26th pick in the NFL draft? Good luck, Giant fans, good
• 1:16:09
  luck. I mean, it better be like, I
• 1:16:11
  mean, would you do it if it was? The late Jacksonville pick and
• 1:16:15
  Brian Thomas Junior. Yes, I've heard that I would.
• 1:16:18
  I would, but that's not going to happen.
• 1:16:20
  I don't think interior D lineman in this in this in this draft, I
• 1:16:23
  mean not. Death to.
• 1:16:24
  Lawrence, but it's Jacksonville denied that one.
• 1:16:26
  Wait, Jacksonville doesn't have a first round pick?
• 1:16:27
  Where are you getting that? One, I'm sorry, not 26 the.
• 1:16:30
  The next year's first round pick.
• 1:16:32
  Their next year pick it was going to be a first and and not
• 1:16:34
  him. Anyway, that's the carousel
• 1:16:37
  today. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:16:38
  here's my deuce of the day. The Deuce.
• 1:16:40
  Of the day you log, not. A log.
• 1:16:43
  I don't have a log but. Well, well, well, Anthony.
• 1:16:54
  Davis. On the Draymond Green show or
• 1:16:58
  his podcast airing out his grievance on the Lakers trading
• 1:17:04
  him and the Pelicans trading him, you're crying about being
• 1:17:09
  traded for. Luka Doncic when he went to.
• 1:17:11
  Dallas, please stop. Anthony Davis needs to stop this
• 1:17:17
  now. You're playing for the bad
• 1:17:18
  Wizards. When is it going in?
• 1:17:20
  Guess what, Anthony? If you stay healthy, if you're
• 1:17:23
  actually a healthy player, maybe the team would trade you to a
• 1:17:28
  better team. Nobody wants you you.
• 1:17:30
  Nobody cares about the type of talent that you are or what you
• 1:17:34
  were. When you were great, you were
• 1:17:36
  great and when you're bad, you're bad.
• 1:17:39
  I don't want to hear that he's a 20 and 10 player.
• 1:17:41
  The problem with Anthony Davis isn't his game, it's his health.
• 1:17:46
  The guy is never fully healthy and and as far as I'm concerned,
• 1:17:51
  I would trade him for Luka Doncic tomorrow.
• 1:17:53
  That was an absolute steal. Steal for the Lakers and he's
• 1:17:57
  complaining he just got traded for one of the top three players
• 1:18:00
  in in in the NBA. It's probably going to be
• 1:18:02
  considered one of the worst trades in NBA history and his
• 1:18:05
  names involved with it. Why?
• 1:18:07
  Because he's not the same player he once was.
• 1:18:10
  So please, cry me a river. Cry me something.
• 1:18:14
  Spare me a rib when I'm actually hungry.
• 1:18:18
  I could care less with Anthony Davis is bitching about.
• 1:18:22
  And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my deuce of the day.
• 1:18:26
  When we come back, we will be talking to 27 year MLB official
• 1:18:30
  scorer Howie Carpin. But first, our sports minute
• 1:18:33
  with Fish is a New York sports loudmouth.
• 1:18:39
  Sports. Minute.
• 1:18:41
  All right, guys, Aaron Fishman here with your sportsman.
• 1:18:44
  A couple of stories. Before we get to tonight's
• 1:18:46
  scores in a report to make Raiders fans hoping for the best
• 1:18:50
  with the number one pick, reach for the barf bag, The Athletics
• 1:18:53
  Zach Kiefer reported on Thursday after interviewing multiple
• 1:18:56
  former Raiders staff members who absolutely shredded their former
• 1:19:00
  bar boss Mark Davis. In a way, he's great to work for
• 1:19:04
  because he lets you do your thing.
• 1:19:06
  But he's nothing like his dad. He doesn't know anything about
• 1:19:09
  football. Oh, my dad liked fast guys.
• 1:19:12
  Where are all the fast guys? It was all about the Raider way.
• 1:19:16
  That thinking is so archaic it's not even relevant anymore.
• 1:19:19
  They got to be good football players too.
• 1:19:21
  On top of being stuck in the past is the fact that the late
• 1:19:24
  Al Davis, the Hall of Fame legend, was a football coach
• 1:19:26
  himself while Mark Davis simply inherited the team 15 plus years
• 1:19:30
  ago. Other comments reveal Davis
• 1:19:32
  often sleeps in in most mornings and is never involved in any
• 1:19:37
  personnel decisions. One staffer told The Athletic he
• 1:19:40
  has no idea what he's doing. He thinks just like a fan.
• 1:19:45
  Well, that would probably explain a lot.
• 1:19:47
  Perhaps Mendoza and TB12 can fix it.
• 1:19:49
  But if the bat the past bunch of years are any indication, Davis
• 1:19:54
  can't even get a haircut right. Earlier on Thursdays, ESPN
• 1:19:58
  Thursday on ESP NS Tim Vontemps reporting the Philadelphia 76ers
• 1:20:04
  star center Joelle Embiid had to go undergo an emergency
• 1:20:08
  appendectomy today just hours before the team's game in
• 1:20:11
  Houston against the Rockets, which has big implications on
• 1:20:14
  the postseason. Bigger implications would be
• 1:20:16
  that Embiid would will be out indefinitely and will all but
• 1:20:19
  certainly miss the start of the NBA playoffs, likely more than
• 1:20:23
  that. He's averaging 26.9 points per
• 1:20:25
  game and 7.7 rebounds in the in just 38 games that he played
• 1:20:29
  this season. Last year he only played
• 1:20:31
  nineteen games and was terrible before being shut down with bad
• 1:20:34
  left knee. Currently, the Sixers, who will
• 1:20:36
  be without Embiid for the foreseeable future, are 43 and
• 1:20:39
  36 and one game behind the Raptors for the critical six
• 1:20:42
  seed in the Eastern Conference, which would keep them out of the
• 1:20:44
  playing games. But they're also 1/2 game behind
• 1:20:47
  the Magic for the seven seed and only a half game ahead of the
• 1:20:50
  Hornets, who have a nine seed. The Sixers did get Paul George
• 1:20:53
  back from his 25 game suspension for PEDs, which he says he took
• 1:20:57
  because of mental health issues relating to his aging body not
• 1:21:00
  being able to do what it was once capable of.

• 1:23:26
  now talking to 27 year MLB official scorer Howie Carpet.
• 1:23:30
  Howie, what's up, my friend? What's up, gentlemen?
• 1:23:33
  Good to be back. Absolutely.
• 1:23:35
  We're very happy to. Have you on man?
• 1:23:36
  And I'm not very. Happy over the last two games
• 1:23:39
  for the New York Yankees? I don't know.
• 1:23:41
  No, I do not know what's going on with the Yankees.
• 1:23:44
  I know it's early and the Yankees have had pretty good.
• 1:23:48
  Their season's been pretty good. Their their pitching has been
• 1:23:51
  dominant. Schlittler didn't look good in
• 1:23:53
  his last start. We all know what this team is
• 1:23:56
  going to be this year if this pitching staff can stay at 100%.
• 1:23:59
  What do you think is gone on in the last two games against an
• 1:24:03
  ace team that is not expected to have a good pitching staff but a
• 1:24:07
  very good offensive lineup? Well, the bottom of the order
• 1:24:10
  has been a problem early on, but you can't get.
• 1:24:13
  Too crazy in 12 games. I mean, Ryan McMahon has shown
• 1:24:16
  in the past that he doesn't hit. You know, Caballero is not a
• 1:24:20
  starting player. So that's been exposed a little
• 1:24:23
  bit. Austin Wells will hit.
• 1:24:25
  Right now. He's cold.
• 1:24:26
  The weather's cold. You know, the better hitters are
• 1:24:29
  going to heat up when the weather gets better.
• 1:24:31
  You know, Wells, Wells can hit. He's hit throughout his minor
• 1:24:34
  league career. Last year was almost like an
• 1:24:36
  aberration. He's had some good at bats.
• 1:24:39
  He hasn't had a lot of luck in the early going, but you know,
• 1:24:42
  it's helped bring into focus at the bottom of the order is
• 1:24:44
  struggling now. I think Trent Grisham at the top
• 1:24:47
  of the order has struggled. You know, that could be a
• 1:24:50
  mistake, you know, that they made during the offseason giving
• 1:24:53
  him the qualifying offer. I mean, they felt he was, he was
• 1:24:56
  going to turn down the offer as if there was a market out there,
• 1:25:00
  something they may have miscalculated on.
• 1:25:02
  I personally, I would have gave the offer to Devin Williams
• 1:25:06
  because he would not have accepted it and they would have
• 1:25:08
  got that draft pick that they covered it.
• 1:25:10
  But right now they're stuck with Grisham at 22 million a year.
• 1:25:14
  I don't think he's a $22 million player and he's not a top of the
• 1:25:17
  lineup type hitter. So they have judge it too.
• 1:25:21
  Judges off to a slow start. Look for him to duplicate what
• 1:25:25
  he did last year. He may not reach those heights
• 1:25:29
  that that was a tremendous all around season that he had last
• 1:25:32
  year, you know, in all offensive categories to expect him to
• 1:25:36
  reach those same heights. It just doesn't happen two years
• 1:25:39
  in a row. But he's batting second and
• 1:25:41
  someone pointed out to me and I kind of knew it myself, you
• 1:25:45
  know, They bat him second to the ad for the analytical formula of
• 1:25:49
  getting him more at bats. But when the the lineup comes
• 1:25:52
  around, the guys batting in front of him are 789 and 1, so
• 1:25:57
  he's coming up a lot of times leading off.
• 1:26:00
  He's already let off an inning 7 times this year batting second,
• 1:26:04
  which means Grisham has ended an inning 7 times, including with
• 1:26:09
  men on base. So they really have to assess,
• 1:26:12
  you know, what their batting water is like, for one thing.
• 1:26:15
  But I think their offense will click a little better when the
• 1:26:17
  weather gets warm. As you mentioned, Errol, their
• 1:26:20
  pitching has been outstanding. Ryan Weathers was terrific
• 1:26:22
  today, gave up one run, pitched 8 innings, and he gave the
• 1:26:26
  Yankees all they could handle that they needed and they just
• 1:26:29
  couldn't hit Jeffrey Springs, who was a little better than
• 1:26:32
  Ryan Weathers. Now the last two nights, you
• 1:26:35
  know, today they really have a whole lot of opportunities.
• 1:26:38
  Or to give them credit, they stole three bases.
• 1:26:40
  So they tried to make something happen.
• 1:26:42
  When they did get guys on last night, they just didn't come
• 1:26:45
  through in the clutch. So I think they'll be better in
• 1:26:48
  that category. But you know, if the bottom of
• 1:26:50
  the order continues to struggle, it's going to be tough to score
• 1:26:53
  runs against the better pitchers.
• 1:26:55
  All right, So Spencer Jones is a guy that a lot of people.
• 1:26:58
  Want to see in the majors now. Right now he's batting 206 in
• 1:27:03
  the Miners, but he still has two home runs.
• 1:27:04
  He still has 9 RBIs. He has seven hits and 34 at
• 1:27:08
  bats. This guy can give the Yankees a
• 1:27:11
  little bit of an edge. I don't know if he's going to
• 1:27:13
  hit first, but you could put him in the middle of the lineup and
• 1:27:15
  see how he fits. Why aren't the Yankees thinking
• 1:27:18
  about bringing this guy up? I, I don't get it.
• 1:27:20
  I know he's not hitting for average right now, but this kid
• 1:27:23
  has a tremendous amount of power.
• 1:27:25
  You saw what he did in, in spring training.
• 1:27:27
  He changed his stance to a, oh, tiny stance.
• 1:27:30
  I think this guy can add a little bit of edge in that line
• 1:27:33
  up. Why aren't the Yankees thinking
• 1:27:34
  about bringing this kid up? Well, right now he has no spot
• 1:27:37
  in the outfield for one thing and the other.
• 1:27:38
  Thing is, he's what they already have.
• 1:27:41
  They have power in their outfield.
• 1:27:44
  They need guys to not strike out as much, and Jones is striking
• 1:27:48
  out a ton. That has not improved a whole
• 1:27:50
  lot. I'd like to see Jason Dominguez
• 1:27:53
  up here and give him the shot. You know, they've been playing
• 1:27:55
  him in center field in the minor leagues.
• 1:27:57
  Maybe they finally woke up and get him back to his more natural
• 1:28:00
  spot when they threw him in left field.
• 1:28:03
  You got to remember the left field, the Yankee Stadium is a
• 1:28:06
  very difficult position to play when you haven't had the
• 1:28:10
  experience of playing it. So this narrative developed that
• 1:28:13
  he's not a good outfielder. You know, he had some struggles.
• 1:28:17
  He's a 23 year old kid. Yeah, he's had some struggles
• 1:28:20
  batting right-handed, but at least he showed some flashes
• 1:28:23
  last year. And they need guys who are not
• 1:28:26
  going to strike out as much. They still have too many
• 1:28:28
  strikeouts in that lineup. And I think because Jones is
• 1:28:31
  striking out a time, it's kind of holding them back.
• 1:28:35
  Now. They may bring them up, as you
• 1:28:36
  mentioned, to get a spark. But again, this offense needs
• 1:28:40
  less strikeouts. Put the ball in play and make
• 1:28:43
  things happen. Finally, after years of being,
• 1:28:46
  you know, ignorant of the stolen base, they're finally trying to
• 1:28:50
  steal bases, thankfully, to make some things happen.
• 1:28:53
  They tried to do that today. And they almost got Jeffrey
• 1:28:56
  Springs off his game. You know, people got to realize
• 1:29:00
  just a stolen based threat can make a pitcher make a mistake,
• 1:29:04
  you know, to have them concentrate and get distracted.
• 1:29:07
  Now they almost did that today. You know, it didn't workout.
• 1:29:10
  But thankfully, they have some a little more athleticism in their
• 1:29:14
  lineup that they've had the past few years.
• 1:29:17
  Right now, you know, to me, I would bat Jazz Chisholm first.
• 1:29:21
  I know he doesn't get on base a ton.
• 1:29:23
  I know they're in love with this on base percentage at the top of
• 1:29:27
  the order. But when he does get on, he
• 1:29:29
  distracts the pitcher and you know, look, you know, you open
• 1:29:33
  the base for Judge, they're probably going to walk them.
• 1:29:35
  So bat Judge 3rd and put somebody in between.
• 1:29:39
  You know, two years ago when they had Juan Soto hitting
• 1:29:42
  second, they never stole with the lead off, man.
• 1:29:45
  They weren't going to walk Soto to pitch the Judge with the open
• 1:29:48
  base, but they never stole a base with the lead off.
• 1:29:51
  Guy Volpe let off for a while, you know, then Grisham let off.
• 1:29:56
  They don't take advantage of what you know, the new rules are
• 1:29:59
  offering them at times. And then they look what they
• 1:30:01
  look very flat against the guy who really dominated them today.
• 1:30:06
  So I want to go to the pitching side of it.
• 1:30:07
  They've been had a historically good.
• 1:30:08
  Start, even when it admits their two losses at the A's, they
• 1:30:10
  still pitch very well. You look at the depth that they
• 1:30:12
  have in that rotation. Now, you mentioned maybe they
• 1:30:14
  should have brought back Devin Williams.
• 1:30:15
  You could have maybe helped with that bullpen a little more.
• 1:30:18
  But we've seen the Yankees bullpens be flashy, big name
• 1:30:21
  relievers that they get overpaid and they don't fizzle out as
• 1:30:24
  much. So what are your thoughts of the
• 1:30:25
  overall impressions, pitching depths that they've had this
• 1:30:27
  season and even the kids in their other system?
• 1:30:29
  Well, Speedy, I think you misheard me.
• 1:30:31
  I didn't say they should bring him back, Devin.
• 1:30:33
  Williams I said they should have, they should have made him
• 1:30:35
  the qualifying offer because he never would would have accepted
• 1:30:38
  it. And they wanted, they wanted to
• 1:30:40
  get a draft pick. You have a clue there, though.
• 1:30:42
  They're going to have to tweak that bullpen.
• 1:30:44
  I don't think David Begnaar is really reliable over a whole
• 1:30:48
  season. As you see, he's a little bit of
• 1:30:50
  an adventure when he comes in now.
• 1:30:52
  He's gotten out of it a couple of times.
• 1:30:54
  Last night he may have been a little fatigued, but he only
• 1:30:56
  gave up one run even though they had second and third and and
• 1:31:00
  nobody out in the ninth inning. But I think they're going to
• 1:31:03
  have to make some changes in that bullpen and maybe use some
• 1:31:06
  of their starting depth. If Louis heel was more reliable
• 1:31:09
  with his command, I would try him as a closer.
• 1:31:13
  He's got dynamite stuff to where he can strike out and blow guys
• 1:31:16
  away. The problem is he gets a little,
• 1:31:19
  he misses the plate and loses command and starts to walk
• 1:31:22
  people. So they're a little gun shy and
• 1:31:24
  maybe trying that move. But that's something that they
• 1:31:26
  make. They're going to have to tweak
• 1:31:28
  as the season goes on. Reliable at this point.
• 1:31:33
  Tim Hill luckily has been reliable, but he can only pitch
• 1:31:36
  to a couple of batters. They've gotten something out of
• 1:31:38
  Brett Hedrick, which is a little surprising because I wasn't that
• 1:31:42
  impressed with him. But I think they're going to
• 1:31:44
  have to tweak the bull, the back end of the bullpen at some
• 1:31:47
  point. I don't trust Camilo Doval.
• 1:31:49
  He's too erratic, gets wild at times.
• 1:31:52
  He was in San Francisco when he was a closer.
• 1:31:55
  So they have some unreliable arms that they're really going
• 1:31:58
  to have to tweak, you know, at some point during the season.
• 1:32:01
  That's something and you can fix.
• 1:32:03
  You know, it's not unfixable, which is a good thing.
• 1:32:06
  And also they're eight and four. Even though they haven't hit,
• 1:32:09
  they're getting the great starting pitching.
• 1:32:11
  You know, their their rotations been dynamite.
• 1:32:13
  Schlittler had a little bit of a problem in the third inning.
• 1:32:16
  I thought that he got a little distracted when Max Muncie
• 1:32:20
  reached on an infield hit where where, you know, he made a great
• 1:32:24
  pitch and Muncie got lucky and put it in play.
• 1:32:27
  And you could see when they showed Schlittler and in that,
• 1:32:29
  you know, isolated shot, he looked like he he's a little
• 1:32:32
  frustrated that the guy got on, even though he made a great
• 1:32:36
  pitch and he may have got a little distracted.
• 1:32:38
  So they ended up with three runs in the inning.
• 1:32:40
  But they're starting pitching is reliable.
• 1:32:42
  It's going to get better when Cole and Rodon come back.
• 1:32:45
  You know, Clark Schmidt may come back in the second-half.
• 1:32:48
  You know, if these guys stay healthy, they have they have
• 1:32:50
  maybe the best starting rotation in the league.
• 1:32:52
  So they're relying on that and that's been carrying them so
• 1:32:55
  far. Hey, thanks.
• 1:32:56
  How for coming on? Talk to me a little bit about
• 1:32:59
  Judge. You know, obviously he's getting
• 1:33:01
  off to a slow start and whatnot, but just kind of give me the
• 1:33:03
  background what you think is going to, you know, is his back
• 1:33:06
  still hurt? Is he in pain?
• 1:33:08
  Or do you think that, you know, he's going to turn around as the
• 1:33:10
  season go on? It's just too cold outside.
• 1:33:12
  Tell me a little bit what you think about Judge.
• 1:33:14
  I think all those factors don't forget he got off to a slow
• 1:33:17
  start 2. Years ago and still won the MVP,
• 1:33:20
  had that terrible April where the fans were booing him.
• 1:33:22
  He hit like what, 160 for the whole month and then all of a
• 1:33:26
  sudden he took off. You know, it's funny, he was in
• 1:33:29
  the WBC and a lot of these guys, pitchers and hitters that were
• 1:33:33
  in the WBC, most of them are off the slow starts, which is kind
• 1:33:37
  of weird. But Joe Girardi made a good
• 1:33:39
  point on the broadcast last night.
• 1:33:41
  I actually, I scored five of these six games when I was home
• 1:33:44
  last night. And Girardi said it's something
• 1:33:46
  that was interesting. He said, you know, you gear up
• 1:33:49
  for this WBC, a highly emotional and intense competition for two
• 1:33:54
  weeks after you've been in spring training, then you go
• 1:33:57
  back to spring training. So you like you come off that
• 1:34:00
  emotional plateau and then all of a sudden you're in the
• 1:34:03
  regular season. We have to gear it up again.
• 1:34:06
  I'm not worried about Judge. You know, he's going to come
• 1:34:08
  around. He may not hit 330 like he did
• 1:34:10
  last year, but he's going to put up the numbers.
• 1:34:13
  I mean, he's too good a hitter. He's not past his prime.
• 1:34:16
  You know, Bellinger's off a little slow too behind them.
• 1:34:19
  So, you know, they're kind of challenging Judge right now.
• 1:34:22
  But if he starts hitting, they're not going to challenge
• 1:34:24
  him as much Quentin. So I, I think, I think he'll be
• 1:34:27
  OK. You know, I, I think he'll come
• 1:34:29
  around and get to his numbers, but you know, it's going to
• 1:34:32
  still be up to the rest of the lineup.
• 1:34:34
  Giancarlo Stanton got off to a great start.
• 1:34:36
  He's cooled off a little bit. You know, Chisholm is up and
• 1:34:39
  down. He's off slow.
• 1:34:41
  They have like 5 hitters who are not really doing a whole lot.
• 1:34:44
  So that's kind of like crippling the lineup.
• 1:34:46
  We are talking to 27 year MLB official scorer Howie.
• 1:34:50
  Carpet he's been on our show before knows his Yankees,
• 1:34:52
  there's no question. So I want to get into the New
• 1:34:55
  York Mets and there's a lot of questions with this team
• 1:34:59
  starting, they can't hit. They bring in Jorge Polanco,
• 1:35:02
  they don't have a position for him.
• 1:35:04
  They tried to move in the first base.
• 1:35:06
  Now they're thinking Beatty's in everyday first baseman for this
• 1:35:09
  team. Then you bring in guys like
• 1:35:11
  Simeon, he's up and he's down. Beau Burchett, he can't.
• 1:35:15
  He's been striking out a lot. This whole lineup has had a
• 1:35:18
  problem hitting the ball. Soto can't stay healthy.
• 1:35:20
  Lindor can't hit the ball. What's going on with the New
• 1:35:23
  York Mets? Well, Lindor will hit.
• 1:35:25
  He's another season's perennial slow.
• 1:35:27
  Starter I have, I'm not worried about Lindor, but Shet will hit.
• 1:35:31
  You know, when guys go to a new team, you know, in a new a new
• 1:35:35
  city, especially when they come to New York, it's always, you
• 1:35:38
  know, most guys get off the slow starts.
• 1:35:40
  Look at Alonzo in Baltimore. He's struggling.
• 1:35:43
  He's in a new team. The weather's been cold.
• 1:35:45
  He's hitting like 180. You know, sometimes you get off
• 1:35:48
  the slow starts. Now with the Mets, they're
• 1:35:49
  rolling the dice in the infield at the corner spots.
• 1:35:53
  You can see with Bichette, he's a little in between on certain
• 1:35:56
  ground balls like that slow roller.
• 1:35:59
  He's trying to backhand instead of bare hand.
• 1:36:02
  You know, trying to backhand it and throw a guy out at first is
• 1:36:05
  going to cost you maybe a split second, which could, you know,
• 1:36:08
  be the difference between a runner being safe and out.
• 1:36:11
  That's technique. He's got to get a little
• 1:36:13
  experience and work with that, you know, picking it up bare
• 1:36:16
  handed. He's never had to do that at
• 1:36:17
  shortstop. He certainly charge balls at
• 1:36:20
  shortstop, but you know, it's a whole different game over there
• 1:36:23
  there, excuse the pun, at third base.
• 1:36:25
  Now he's playing Polanco at first, who's inexperienced.
• 1:36:28
  So far so good. But you got to worry about, you
• 1:36:31
  know, the pick off throws at 1st and the three one play on the
• 1:36:34
  flip to the pitcher. You know that that takes
• 1:36:37
  experience. It's it's a weird dynamic that
• 1:36:40
  they're having in the infield. They brought in a 35 year old
• 1:36:43
  Marcus semi in the play second, you know, you don't know how
• 1:36:46
  much range he still has left and then you're putting Polanco at
• 1:36:49
  first. So far, you know, they they've
• 1:36:51
  been OK. They're winning tonight behind
• 1:36:53
  me. Lane McLane has been terrific so
• 1:36:55
  far, you know, and they're starting pitching has been a
• 1:36:57
  little better and the bullpen has produced.
• 1:37:00
  So if they're doing that, they'll be okay for a while.
• 1:37:03
  But you know, the divisions weird this year, my Miami is,
• 1:37:06
  you know, a real pesky team. They're going to be a lot of
• 1:37:08
  trouble for a lot of teams. They don't strike out.
• 1:37:11
  They have some pretty good arms. So it's going to be crazy the
• 1:37:14
  whole the whole season. The Mets are going to have to,
• 1:37:16
  you know, click at some point, get it all together.
• 1:37:19
  Hope Soto gets back to me. A key for them is Alvarez.
• 1:37:22
  If Alvarez is hitting, he can really make that line up deep.
• 1:37:26
  Mendoza There's a lot of people. As far as Med fans are
• 1:37:30
  concerned, all of the social media that's been complaining
• 1:37:32
  about him, they want his head, they want him to be fired before
• 1:37:36
  the seasons end. If this team doesn't find a way
• 1:37:38
  to play at elite level with the talent that they have, the money
• 1:37:42
  that Stearns has spent form from Uncle Stevie in the offseason,
• 1:37:46
  you would think that this team should be an elite team.
• 1:37:48
  They fell apart at the end of the season last year, fell out
• 1:37:51
  of the playoffs. What do you think Stearns needs
• 1:37:54
  to do to to keep his job and Mendoza keep his job?
• 1:37:58
  Because if this team doesn't make the playoffs this year,
• 1:38:00
  Stern should be fired. There's no reason why he
• 1:38:03
  shouldn't be fired. And Mendoza if if they're not an
• 1:38:07
  elite team or at least second place in the National League
• 1:38:10
  East before the All Star break, don't you think that Mendoza
• 1:38:14
  might be his? His head might be cut off and
• 1:38:17
  and sent shipping on a on a golf course.
• 1:38:20
  Mendoza's on the hot seat. I don't think Stearns is, I
• 1:38:23
  think. Stearns is safe even if they
• 1:38:25
  don't make the playoffs. Mendoza would take the fall if
• 1:38:27
  they missed the playoffs this time around.
• 1:38:29
  They have to make the playoffs. You know that.
• 1:38:32
  That's a must. If they miss it again, you know,
• 1:38:34
  like they did last year, that's kind of inexcusable unless
• 1:38:38
  there's just a rash of injuries that cripple them now.
• 1:38:41
  So far, Luis Robert Junior's off to a good start in center field.
• 1:38:45
  Carson Binge is not hit, you know, yet, so you don't know
• 1:38:48
  what you're going to get it get out of him as a Rook.
• 1:38:51
  You know, you had that great spring, but he wasn't facing a
• 1:38:53
  lot of good pitching. You know, you face a lot of
• 1:38:55
  different arms, arms that are not even going to be in the
• 1:38:57
  major leagues in spring training.
• 1:38:59
  Now you're facing the A-Team, so to speak.
• 1:39:02
  So and I like Brett Beatty, I always did.
• 1:39:04
  I think he's a nice player. You know, he's performed pretty
• 1:39:07
  well. Vientos is up and down.
• 1:39:09
  He had that one hot stretch over the weekend, but he's kind of
• 1:39:12
  like gone back to to what he was last season.
• 1:39:15
  They haven't they have talent there.
• 1:39:16
  They have have a pretty good team.
• 1:39:18
  Again, rolling the dice at the corner positions in the infield
• 1:39:22
  could be costly at times. So far it hasn't hasn't panned
• 1:39:25
  out that way. But if they went tonight,
• 1:39:27
  they're they're 8:00 and 4:00. So that's what you want to be.
• 1:39:30
  But Howie, that's the problem. Jorge Polanco is not a first
• 1:39:33
  baseman. He's never.
• 1:39:33
  Played first base in his career. Beau Bichette has never played
• 1:39:37
  third base. How could you tell me if this
• 1:39:39
  team doesn't make the playoffs, how does Stearns keep his job?
• 1:39:43
  You took you spun the wheel and made the deal.
• 1:39:46
  You brought these two guys in. They've never played those
• 1:39:48
  positions. And the only reason why you
• 1:39:50
  brought them in because you made a mistake with Pete Alonso and
• 1:39:53
  for some reason you didn't want to keep Brandon IMO there.
• 1:39:56
  So how does this make sense? Stearns is a cone guy.
• 1:40:00
  He's not going to get rid of him that easily.
• 1:40:02
  I'm. Telling you he's a cone guy man.
• 1:40:05
  Those who would take the fall if they don't make the playoffs.
• 1:40:08
  So, you know, look, if they're if they win tonight, they're
• 1:40:10
  eight and four. You know, you go 8 and four, win
• 1:40:13
  8 out of every 12 games. You're doing OK so far.
• 1:40:16
  They're OK. They haven't really played the
• 1:40:18
  division yet. You know, they have to win the
• 1:40:19
  games in the division. You got to see.
• 1:40:21
  I mean, I agree with you. If they're rolling the dice at
• 1:40:24
  the corner infield positions. I said it when they made those
• 1:40:27
  moves, you know, bringing in Polanco to play first and never
• 1:40:30
  played first, Bichette. Bichette seemed to be a Plan B
• 1:40:33
  after they got burned on Kyle Tucker.
• 1:40:35
  They thought they were going to get Kyle Tucker and then play
• 1:40:38
  Brett Beatty at third. Now they're using Brady around,
• 1:40:41
  you know, Beatty at different positions, you know, in the
• 1:40:43
  infield and the outfield. Bichette will hit.
• 1:40:46
  I mean, he's a hitter. That's been his track record.
• 1:40:49
  Whether he can, you know, survive there defensively,
• 1:40:52
  that's another story. Can he hit in New York?
• 1:40:54
  That's the question. He'll hit in New York.
• 1:40:56
  He will, I guarantee. It may take a little.
• 1:40:59
  While but he'll get there. We've seen this Lindor when he
• 1:41:02
  came to the Mets. He wasn't hitting very well.
• 1:41:05
  It took him two years until he figured it out.
• 1:41:07
  This guy's getting paid. He is the fifth highest paid
• 1:41:10
  player, 4th actually highest paid player in the major
• 1:41:13
  leagues. He's making more money than
• 1:41:14
  Aaron Judge is making a year. And this is what you're playing.
• 1:41:18
  You're paying your third baseman.
• 1:41:19
  He's batting what, 179 right now, 178 maybe he hits.
• 1:41:24
  Even if he hits, if he's hitting 23238, that to me is a bad
• 1:41:29
  season. And that's what you're putting
• 1:41:31
  your money. That's what you invested.
• 1:41:32
  Forty, $647,000,000 into a player that's never played third
• 1:41:36
  base and can't hit a lick right now in in.
• 1:41:39
  Yeah, but you're talking about a guy who's played twelve games
• 1:41:42
  and has a. Track record for hitting you got
• 1:41:44
  to give him a little bit of a chance let's see where they are
• 1:41:47
  40 games in to me that's a that's a benchmark we might have
• 1:41:50
  to come back to this me and you might have to come back to this
• 1:41:53
  that's right we. Might have to come back to this.
• 1:41:55
  Fair enough. All right, I want to shift gears
• 1:41:57
  a little. Bit to the the other.
• 1:41:58
  Contrary has gone early in the. Season with the the ABS system
• 1:42:01
  and the challenge system, you've seen with a lot of these players
• 1:42:04
  and so far I believe it's like 58% of them have been challenged
• 1:42:07
  correctly and a lot of managers even obviously a lot of umpires
• 1:42:11
  already had issues with it. What are your thoughts as a
• 1:42:13
  scorer? Like seeing all this, these
• 1:42:15
  calls that are being made and being overturned.
• 1:42:17
  I like it and I don't like it. What I don't like is that the
• 1:42:20
  fact that the. Ball can just clip that line and
• 1:42:23
  it's a strike. To me, it should be at least
• 1:42:26
  half the ball in that zone. You know, David Cohen in spring
• 1:42:30
  training said that the ABS is going to shrink the shrink the
• 1:42:34
  strike zone. I disagree and I told them I
• 1:42:36
  said I don't agree with that because the ball is about 3
• 1:42:39
  inches wide. So if it clips the strike zone,
• 1:42:43
  basically it's expanding the strike zone.
• 1:42:46
  I think also, you know, they keep their challenges.
• 1:42:49
  If they keep getting them right, I think they're going to have to
• 1:42:52
  put a limit on how many you can use in the game.
• 1:42:55
  And the real interesting thing about the ABS is strategically
• 1:42:59
  how they're using it. Like some guys are calling for
• 1:43:02
  it in these bad spots and then you're running out of challenges
• 1:43:05
  when you like to have them in big spots.
• 1:43:07
  And like the late innings that's happened today where the Yankees
• 1:43:11
  and the A's both, you know, used up their challenges by the 6th
• 1:43:14
  inning. You know, there was some, some
• 1:43:16
  guys, you know, have ridiculous challenges, you know, to where
• 1:43:19
  they think of balls of a ball off the plate and they're
• 1:43:22
  getting clipped. I think that's why the 58% shows
• 1:43:26
  up that the ball is just clipping the zone.
• 1:43:29
  You got to remember the strike zone is an imaginary zone.
• 1:43:32
  It's not a 3D type zone. You know, people like to say,
• 1:43:35
  oh, tennis, they use it on, on the lines on the court, but
• 1:43:39
  those are those are demarcation lines that are black and white.
• 1:43:43
  You know, you can see those on the court.
• 1:43:45
  Baseball, the strike zone is imaginary and it changes for
• 1:43:48
  each player. So, you know, there's a little
• 1:43:50
  bit of, you know, uncertainty with the ABS calls, but so far,
• 1:43:55
  you know, it's worked out pretty good.
• 1:43:56
  At least it's not, you know, delaying the game.
• 1:43:58
  It happens quick and the fans love it.
• 1:44:00
  I mean, you know, they watch the video board to see what's it
• 1:44:03
  going to be. Is it going to be a ball, going
• 1:44:05
  to be a strike? You know, a couple of games have
• 1:44:07
  ended on the ABS challenge. We had an ABS challenge on the
• 1:44:11
  first pitch of a game the other night, so there's some unique
• 1:44:14
  things to it. To me, strategically, you got to
• 1:44:16
  use it the right way and trust certain people who are going to
• 1:44:19
  make those calls. Come on Howie, you're an old
• 1:44:22
  time guy. You really like this?
• 1:44:24
  ABS this is garbage it's just hurting baseball these new
• 1:44:28
  rules, these new machines let's use AI now let's you know what
• 1:44:32
  we don't even need a call strikes.
• 1:44:34
  Why don't we just lop it over the plate and see who can hit a
• 1:44:36
  home run. That's what it is now if
• 1:44:38
  baseball is just become just ridiculous.
• 1:44:41
  You have plate, you have bases now the size of pizza boxes.
• 1:44:45
  I mean, none of this makes any sense.
• 1:44:48
  They move the what did they didn't they move the bases
• 1:44:50
  closer. So, yeah, it's just why are you
• 1:44:52
  changing the rules? Baseball's worked for over 100
• 1:44:55
  years. Why are you changing it?
• 1:44:57
  And that goes for the terrible GM, I mean, the terrible
• 1:45:00
  commissioner right now that runs the league and Rob Manford, who
• 1:45:03
  doesn't know what he's doing. He thinks he knows everything.
• 1:45:06
  He oh, I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that.
• 1:45:08
  You know what? Pete Rose is dead, so I'm going
• 1:45:09
  to put him in the Hall of Fame now.
• 1:45:10
  It's just horrible. This doesn't, It makes sense.
• 1:45:14
  Why did he just retire ready and bring somebody actually knows
• 1:45:17
  what he's doing as a commissioner in baseball?
• 1:45:19
  Well, this is what it is. I mean, if you love baseball,
• 1:45:22
  you got to deal with what? They're doing.
• 1:45:24
  I mean, this is what it is. I don't, I don't create the
• 1:45:26
  rules personally, I don't like that runner on 2nd in the 10th
• 1:45:30
  inning. I'd like to see at least play 3
• 1:45:32
  real extra innings before you go to that runner on second because
• 1:45:36
  I've been at games that have gone 1819 innings and they can
• 1:45:39
  be dragging. I mean they can drag, you know.
• 1:45:42
  So I, I kind of understand it a little bit, but let's, let's
• 1:45:45
  play 3 real extra innings without the runner on 2nd and
• 1:45:49
  maybe then start it in the 13th if you get that long.
• 1:45:53
  So look, these are the, these are the rules now.
• 1:45:55
  This is what you're handed. If you love the sport like I do,
• 1:45:58
  you deal with it. I certainly have to deal with it
• 1:46:00
  as an official scorer right now. You know, I have to chart the
• 1:46:03
  challenges and and certain other things that I never had to do
• 1:46:07
  for years. But this is what it is, you
• 1:46:09
  know? So could you imagine?
• 1:46:10
  Could you imagine? You can hate it, you can hate
• 1:46:12
  it, whatever. This is what it.
• 1:46:14
  Is it's not changing back to the old ways?
• 1:46:16
  Could you imagine if Babe Ruth was alive right now?
• 1:46:19
  Or Yogi. Berra or Mickey Mantle or any of
• 1:46:22
  the greats we're playing in the game now and saying, wait a
• 1:46:26
  second, what the Hell's this? We never had this, but this
• 1:46:30
  makes no sense. Forget that.
• 1:46:31
  Imagine if an ABS challenge over overturned a team.
• 1:46:34
  Where Billy Martin was managed. It's ridiculous.
• 1:46:36
  I had none of it. Makes sense.
• 1:46:38
  You know what? We'll just, you know.
• 1:46:39
  What? We'll have robotic embolism,
• 1:46:41
  embolisms sitting right over there calling strikes right now,
• 1:46:43
  No umpires. We don't need umpires anymore.
• 1:46:46
  They're wrong half the time anyways.
• 1:46:48
  It's ridiculous. And then we're trying to speed
• 1:46:51
  up the game. But now you can challenge
• 1:46:52
  pitches. It's ridiculous.
• 1:46:55
  This is ridiculous. It doesn't making the game more
• 1:46:58
  exciting there, it's making the game more exciting.
• 1:47:00
  That's what they get. Great.
• 1:47:01
  Baseball can be a drag and slow sport, so they making it more
• 1:47:04
  exciting, they adding more technology Oh yeah and getting
• 1:47:08
  the bases coasters, you know, you get more excited.
• 1:47:10
  Oh, it's making me so excited, so exciting.
• 1:47:13
  I'd. Rather go to a strip bar.
• 1:47:14
  OK, Watch this garbage. You're getting on a huff right
• 1:47:18
  here on the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:47:20
  You know what it is Is. I don't really care much about
• 1:47:24
  watching. This garbage, you watch this and
• 1:47:26
  you're sitting there, you're watching a baseball game.
• 1:47:28
  I just want to see baseball. But now, hey, you got Aaron
• 1:47:31
  Boone. Oh, he challenged 5 out of 50.
• 1:47:33
  Big whoop. And you lost the goddamn game.
• 1:47:36
  That's the problem. What what is the point of it?
• 1:47:39
  It's not helping. It's slowing the game.
• 1:47:41
  Baseball's been trying to find ways to speed the game.
• 1:47:44
  Now all of a sudden you can challenge plays, challenge
• 1:47:47
  pitches. It's it's slowing the game down.
• 1:47:50
  So how does this make baseball better or faster?
• 1:47:53
  Well, today's game was 2 hours 20 minutes so.
• 1:47:56
  Well, it was pretty quick today and they had six challenges.
• 1:48:00
  I rest my case. I rest my case.
• 1:48:02
  They've got twins in the Because nobody.
• 1:48:03
  Can hit, nobody can hit, and everybody's striking.
• 1:48:06
  Out that's. Why the Yankees?
• 1:48:08
  Oh my God, watching the Yankees when they're in these droughts.
• 1:48:11
  It's it's not even watch. It's not even worth watching a
• 1:48:14
  game. It really isn't.
• 1:48:15
  I talk to Manny all the time. He does the broadcast for the
• 1:48:17
  New York Yankees and I'm like, what are we watching here?
• 1:48:20
  Are we watching the baseball game?
• 1:48:22
  Are we just watching a peewee baseball game?
• 1:48:24
  We're watching Little League World Series games.
• 1:48:26
  That's what the Yankees are. When they can't hit, they can't
• 1:48:29
  hit. And again, going back to the
• 1:48:31
  Yankees, for all the Yankee fans that are listening to me right
• 1:48:34
  now, and this is a fact, if the Yankees do not figure out how to
• 1:48:38
  get guys home in scoring position, they're not winning
• 1:48:42
  anything this year. I don't care how great their
• 1:48:43
  pitching staff is. They could be lights out and I
• 1:48:46
  believe they have the best pitching staff in baseball.
• 1:48:48
  Especially when Cole comes back and wrote, Don comes back and
• 1:48:51
  Schmidt comes back in the second-half.
• 1:48:52
  I don't think there's is anybody better than this team because
• 1:48:54
  you have Schlittler, who's a number one, he's proven to be a
• 1:48:57
  number one Freeze a #1 and kosa #1.
• 1:49:00
  You have three guys that could be number ones on your in your
• 1:49:03
  rotation. But if you can hit as we've seen
• 1:49:06
  it, look against watch watch against the Blue Jays, the
• 1:49:08
  Yankees pitch very well. They couldn't hit and and that
• 1:49:12
  is the problem for the New York Yankees.
• 1:49:14
  Say whatever you want how doesn't spend money.
• 1:49:16
  Even though the Yankees are top four team when it comes to
• 1:49:18
  spending money, I don't want to hear it.
• 1:49:20
  They're spending the money on wrong players.
• 1:49:23
  Find guys that can steal. Bring up your young players like
• 1:49:27
  Spencer Jones and Jason Dominguez.
• 1:49:29
  See what you have in your farm system.
• 1:49:31
  It's garbage watching this team and then you, you sign Grissom.
• 1:49:35
  Come on man. You're going to bring Grissom
• 1:49:37
  back. That's the guy you bring back
• 1:49:39
  Cuz he what? He had 25 home runs last year.
• 1:49:42
  Please, please don't forget they're why they're still
• 1:49:45
  thinking about paying Jazz. Chisholm 35 million a year.
• 1:49:47
  He gave him 20 something $1,000,000 to be an outfielder
• 1:49:50
  an everyday. Outfielder.
• 1:49:52
  He's not worth garbage. OK, I'm sorry, Grissom.
• 1:49:55
  He had one good season with the Yankees and you give him a two
• 1:49:58
  year extension? Great.
• 1:49:59
  Congratulations to him. It's only one year, so relax.
• 1:50:06
  It's still it's one more year. Than I need okay, I agree with
• 1:50:09
  you. I I wouldn't have brought him
• 1:50:10
  back. I would have.
• 1:50:12
  I would be more committed to bringing up Dominguez.
• 1:50:15
  But you love Dominguez. You love Dominguez man.
• 1:50:19
  He's more. They call.
• 1:50:20
  Him the Martian, but he looks like an alien.
• 1:50:22
  OK, the kid has talent you got you got to be a little patient
• 1:50:26
  and that's. What they don't do, they don't
• 1:50:28
  show patience with some of their young guys.
• 1:50:30
  You know, they're relying on veterans all the time.
• 1:50:32
  Basically what you've been saying, they don't hit with
• 1:50:34
  runners in scoring position. You know, that's been their MO
• 1:50:37
  over these past few years. That's why they failed to
• 1:50:40
  advance in the playoffs. You know what's so funny?
• 1:50:42
  You have a picture right there. Thank you, Fish.
• 1:50:44
  You have me and Rob. Manford.
• 1:50:45
  Could you imagine going to a strip bar with Rob Manford?
• 1:50:48
  I mean, seriously, how would you walk in?
• 1:50:51
  He's like, oh, the great Rob Manfred.
• 1:50:54
  Maybe get him a lap dance, because maybe that'll wake him
• 1:50:56
  up. I mean, the guy doesn't even
• 1:50:57
  know where he is half the time. Maybe get him a couple lap
• 1:51:00
  dances. Maybe he has a little bit of
• 1:51:02
  fun. You know?
• 1:51:02
  Speedy, I would love to see you. No, that's Nathan's department.
• 1:51:06
  I mean, maybe we'll have you strip.
• 1:51:07
  And maybe you dance for. I mean honestly what what would
• 1:51:11
  be the point of taking this man out to have fun when the guy
• 1:51:14
  never smiles? That guy.
• 1:51:15
  That picture is probably the best smile or the the the smile
• 1:51:19
  when it comes to images on social media, the guy never
• 1:51:22
  smiles. He's always like this.
• 1:51:24
  He's like the guy never smiles. It's horrible.
• 1:51:27
  Sorry I had to do that Howie. I had to throw that one.
• 1:51:30
  I I'm just watching baseball, man.
• 1:51:33
  It just, it gives me agita. I, I honestly watching the game
• 1:51:38
  of baseball early in the season and, and, and it is cold to me.
• 1:51:42
  It's an at an all time high when it comes to coldness.
• 1:51:45
  It's right now 40°. This is what it is in October
• 1:51:48
  when you're playing October baseball, when you go into a
• 1:51:51
  season springtime and when the weather right now it's 38° here
• 1:51:55
  in New York. I mean, how do you expect to
• 1:51:57
  play and, and actually be able to hit when it gets warmer when,
• 1:52:01
  when you know, the air starts to feel, you know, you're cold, all
• 1:52:06
  right? And that's what Aaron Judge is
• 1:52:08
  right now. Once it gets warmer out, I
• 1:52:10
  remember, I think it was in July last year when he got really
• 1:52:14
  warm out. I think Aaron Judge hit like 10
• 1:52:15
  home runs in like 15 games or something.
• 1:52:18
  I'm at magnitude. I don't think Aaron Judge is
• 1:52:20
  going to be as bad as he has been.
• 1:52:23
  But what bothers me right now is he's going to fall so behind in
• 1:52:26
  his batting average. By the time he gets hot, he's
• 1:52:29
  only going to be hitting 250. You know, I mean, what is he
• 1:52:32
  hitting right now, 170? I don't even know what is is
• 1:52:35
  batting average. I think it was it's around 2:42
• 1:52:37
  forty right now. So he brought it up at 1:00.
• 1:52:40
  Point. It was like 1. 59160 so he's
• 1:52:43
  starting to hit the ball, but you want to see the guy at this
• 1:52:47
  time of year you can bring your average up real fast so.
• 1:52:51
  That's the problem. All right, I want to shift gears
• 1:52:53
  again to. This salary cap.
• 1:52:56
  Debate that we've been hearing all offseason.
• 1:52:57
  Obviously we talked about the Dodgers signing Kyle Soccer and
• 1:53:00
  a lot of MLBGMS thought that might have been the final straw.
• 1:53:03
  The obviously the scandal with the players union and Tony Clark
• 1:53:06
  and all that stuff. Like now they're dealing with a
• 1:53:08
  new guy, Are they going to be able to fight this battle?
• 1:53:09
  Do you see a lockout impending and what type of salary cap,
• 1:53:13
  salary cap or like payroll restrictions do you think could
• 1:53:16
  come? Well, unfortunately, you know,
• 1:53:19
  people that are around the game feel there's.
• 1:53:21
  Going to be a lockout next year. You know, the Dodgers spend
• 1:53:24
  money, but they spend it the right way.
• 1:53:26
  So they're winning. If they were blowing all these,
• 1:53:28
  you know, free agents that they signed, they weren't succeeding,
• 1:53:31
  people wouldn't be complaining. But they're winning the two time
• 1:53:33
  defending world champions, you know.
• 1:53:35
  Yeah, they pick up all the talent.
• 1:53:37
  They've basically cornered the Japanese market thanks to Otani.
• 1:53:42
  So, you know, and the lower level teams also there's a
• 1:53:46
  problem. There's a lower level teams
• 1:53:48
  don't spend that. There's going to have to be a
• 1:53:50
  floor as well as a ceiling if they have a salary cap.
• 1:53:54
  So, you know, it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
• 1:53:57
  You know, baseball, they they seem to get on a roll and then
• 1:54:00
  all of a sudden they they kind of shoot themselves in the foot
• 1:54:03
  with these labor issues. But I'm sure you can expect
• 1:54:07
  something of a lockout once the season ends.
• 1:54:09
  Whether they you know, they'll miss games next year remains to
• 1:54:12
  be seen. You know, would be foolish if if
• 1:54:15
  they, you know, have to delay the season with like they did a
• 1:54:17
  number of years ago. So we'll see where it goes.
• 1:54:20
  Both, you know, sides are accumulating what they're
• 1:54:23
  calling a war chest, you know, just in case the games are
• 1:54:26
  missed. So, you know, obviously teams
• 1:54:29
  are preparing. You know, look, Conor Griffin
• 1:54:32
  signed a a deal with the Pirates.
• 1:54:34
  You know, they probably, you know, offered that deal with the
• 1:54:37
  idea that there could be a lockout at some point or a cap.
• 1:54:41
  You know, this way they have them under wraps.
• 1:54:43
  So you know, these labor issues are going to haunt the sport
• 1:54:46
  throughout the year, especially as they get toward the end.
• 1:54:50
  We are talking a 27 year MLB official scorer.
• 1:54:53
  Howie Carpin, Q We we got him on mute over there.
• 1:54:57
  Yeah, Yes, Sir. Now, so that with the Mets.
• 1:55:00
  So give me your insight in regards to where you think they
• 1:55:04
  are. You think they're still trying
• 1:55:05
  to figure it out or you think that this team can make a run
• 1:55:08
  later on in the season. Well, they, they have to, you
• 1:55:10
  know, see, it's only 12 games. In again, you know, that season
• 1:55:14
  is so long, Quinton, I don't think you can really get a gauge
• 1:55:17
  on any team until about 40 games in right now.
• 1:55:21
  They're OK. I mean, they're getting their
• 1:55:22
  starting pitching has improved from last year.
• 1:55:25
  They're getting blue pen from the end from Luke Weaver and
• 1:55:28
  Devin Williams have both been pretty good up to this point.
• 1:55:31
  You know, Luis Robert Junior at this point is working out.
• 1:55:35
  So some of the moves they've made have panned out.
• 1:55:38
  You know, again, as we spoke about with Arrow before, you
• 1:55:41
  know, the corner infield, whether that's going to be a
• 1:55:43
  hindrance or a positive your remains to be seen.
• 1:55:47
  Again, you got to you got to give it at least until 40 games
• 1:55:50
  to see to really get an identity of what the team's going to be.
• 1:55:53
  They have a lot of talent. They should be, you know, at
• 1:55:56
  least in contention for first place and they should make the
• 1:55:59
  playoffs. If they don't, you know, it's
• 1:56:01
  going to be a very disappointing season.
• 1:56:04
  All right, Howie, you've been to a lot of different ballparks.
• 1:56:07
  All right, I'm sure you've tasted you've tasted the hot
• 1:56:10
  dogs, the sausage and Peppers. What is your favorite food at
• 1:56:15
  the ballpark? Chicken fingers.
• 1:56:17
  OK, which is your favorite chicken fingers?
• 1:56:19
  Who has the best chicken? Fingers here in the major
• 1:56:22
  leagues. Well, I only sample them in the
• 1:56:24
  press room because you know, I get.
• 1:56:26
  Spoiled. It's not.
• 1:56:29
  It's not free, but I don't. Sample the regular stuff.
• 1:56:31
  Outside of the concessions so they they treat you might have
• 1:56:34
  to put you know, I've only been really at.
• 1:56:36
  Citi Field. And Yankee Stadium over the past
• 1:56:39
  few years, and both are pretty good.
• 1:56:42
  I will say this the Carvel. At Citi Field is so much better
• 1:56:47
  than Yankee Stadium. I don't know what it it's like.
• 1:56:50
  I don't know if they put milk in the car the, the, the ice cream
• 1:56:53
  over there at Yankee Stadium. Every time I go to Yankee
• 1:56:56
  Stadium, I love my ice cream. Every time I eat, I can't even
• 1:56:58
  finish it. When I go to when I go to Citi
• 1:57:00
  Field, I and I absolutely I love it.
• 1:57:03
  I get a lot, I get a load of sprinkles, some strawberry
• 1:57:06
  topping. Now.
• 1:57:08
  What is your favorite beer at the stadium?
• 1:57:11
  Do you drink at the stadium? No, I can't when I'm working.
• 1:57:14
  Oh, stop I. Mean you just slip on.
• 1:57:18
  You know, bud, I have to do my job.
• 1:57:20
  I can't sit there and drink beer and put my feet up.
• 1:57:22
  On the streets, well, this guy likes to drink.
• 1:57:25
  Speedy loves to drink. He tests all the.
• 1:57:26
  Apple ciders and all that other stuff.
• 1:57:29
  I I'm not a drinker. I don't drink any.
• 1:57:31
  Oh, there you go. Joe Girardi.
• 1:57:32
  I'm sure he's drinking too. He's I would be drinking after
• 1:57:36
  what the Yankees did to him. But anyway, before we let you
• 1:57:38
  go, my friend, and by the way, one more time, we are talking to
• 1:57:42
  27 year MLB official scorer Howie Carpen.
• 1:57:45
  He's been on our show. We really appreciate at the last
• 1:57:47
  minute coming on because somebody decided Dominique
• 1:57:50
  easily decided that he couldn't make the show.
• 1:57:52
  So we really appreciate you joining us.
• 1:57:56
  You look at the leak, OK and and the Braves right now it's still
• 1:58:00
  early in the season we're. Looking at some.
• 1:58:02
  Of these teams and I, I thought the Braves, I think the Braves
• 1:58:05
  are going to win the National League East.
• 1:58:07
  I, I called it before the season started.
• 1:58:09
  I think the Braves are a lot better than people say they are.
• 1:58:11
  Is there a team, a surprise team right now in the majors that can
• 1:58:15
  make a run all the way to the World Series this year that you
• 1:58:19
  see so far? It's early in the season.
• 1:58:21
  We understand that. But when you look at the rosters
• 1:58:24
  and you look at some of these teams and, and in the the
• 1:58:26
  divisions that they're in, who do you think could be the
• 1:58:29
  surprise this year going to the World Series?
• 1:58:32
  Well, it's going to be hard to knock off the Dodgers in the NL.
• 1:58:35
  But I think you. Have to look at maybe Miami and
• 1:58:37
  Cincinnati, really Miami, the Reds have pretty good pitching,
• 1:58:40
  you know, and they they have a team that that's have a terrific
• 1:58:44
  manager in Terry Francona in the American League.
• 1:58:47
  You know, it's right now it's wide open.
• 1:58:50
  I mean, you still got to consider Seattle because of
• 1:58:52
  their pitching. You know, Texas has played well
• 1:58:55
  up to this point. I don't think anybody Detroit's
• 1:58:59
  kind of dangerous, but they're up and down.
• 1:59:01
  I don't know if you saw what happened today.
• 1:59:02
  There was a big collision in the outfield with Riley Green and
• 1:59:06
  Parker Meadows and they had to carry Parker Meadows off the off
• 1:59:09
  the field, I think in a stretcher.
• 1:59:12
  So that could be a key injury for Detroit and school Bulls not
• 1:59:15
  pitching that great. So far he's been OK.
• 1:59:18
  So, you know, I, I think you know that the surprise teams
• 1:59:22
  could be in the National League. I got my eye on the Marlins.
• 1:59:25
  I think they're going to be pesque.
• 1:59:26
  I think they're going to be a pain in the neck.
• 1:59:28
  I don't know if they can make the World Series, but I think
• 1:59:30
  they'll make some noise in the National League.
• 1:59:32
  I got the Diamondbacks. I think the Diamondbacks are
• 1:59:35
  going to be really, really good this.
• 1:59:36
  Year when they start to it starts to get warmer for them
• 1:59:39
  and they start to travel and get that lineup going.
• 1:59:41
  I think they're really, really good.
• 1:59:43
  I've been telling you, Speedy, I think the Diamondbacks and then
• 1:59:46
  you keep saying the Dodgers and yeah, the Dodgers are good and
• 1:59:49
  you like to give them all the compliments in the world.
• 1:59:51
  This deferred money crap has to go.
• 1:59:53
  Something needs to be done with the Dodgers.
• 1:59:55
  It makes me sick to my stomach that that every time they, they
• 1:59:58
  get every single player, they absolutely want this deferred
• 2:00:01
  money. They the Kyle Tucker contract is
• 2:00:04
  he can opt out of his contract after two years.
• 2:00:06
  It's just ridiculous how everything works.
• 2:00:08
  And some of these guys, Ohtani doesn't have to get paid until
• 2:00:11
  12 years from now. He's making two or $3,000,000
• 2:00:14
  right now from the Dodgers organization and he's making
• 2:00:17
  $100 million in endorsements. It makes me sick to my stomach.
• 2:00:20
  I don't like it. It's pathetic.
• 2:00:21
  Pathetic. You can love it.
• 2:00:23
  All you baseball fans can make all the excuses.
• 2:00:25
  Well, everybody else can do it. Nobody can do it the way the
• 2:00:28
  Dodgers have done it because they have everybody working In
• 2:00:30
  Sync with each other. It makes me sick, all right,
• 2:00:33
  sick. I had to throw that to you, man.
• 2:00:37
  Anyways, Howie, we really appreciate the time.
• 2:00:40
  I know I probably made you sick after that take, but you know
• 2:00:42
  that that's what happens, man, when you come on the show.
• 2:00:45
  It could go all over the place. And you know, thank God I'm not
• 2:00:48
  throwing up after having kidney stones last weekend, I was
• 2:00:52
  throwing up. I must have threw up like 7 or 8
• 2:00:54
  times before I got out of the hospital.
• 2:00:55
  So kidney stones. Have you ever had kidney stones,
• 2:00:57
  Howie? Yeah, I have.
• 2:00:59
  Oh, man, they're horrible, man. It's brutal.
• 2:01:01
  It's brutal. Man, you're.
• 2:01:02
  Running and they need to tell your girlfriend.
• 2:01:04
  To. Drive you there and she's like,
• 2:01:06
  hey, I was working for 13 hours last night and she drives me
• 2:01:09
  over there and I'm I'm trying to keep myself, I'm trying to grab
• 2:01:12
  things. I'm punching the car, trying to
• 2:01:14
  get myself all ready to walk into the hospital.
• 2:01:17
  And then when you walk through the damn hospital, the emergency
• 2:01:19
  emergency room, what does the doctor, what does the nurse say?
• 2:01:22
  Oh, you got to wait. So you're sitting there in pain
• 2:01:25
  throwing up in a little bag that they gave you.
• 2:01:27
  And by the time you get to the doctor and the doctor's laughing
• 2:01:29
  because I'm telling him, give me some morphine, give me
• 2:01:32
  something. So that's the truth, man, it's
• 2:01:34
  horrible. Anyways, how Mia, I have to do
• 2:01:38
  it. I I.
• 2:01:40
  She had to. Could you?
• 2:01:41
  Imagine your girlfriend you're You're a strong tough guy, and
• 2:01:44
  your girlfriend asks the security guard to bring a
• 2:01:48
  wheelchair out to the car because you can't even walk into
• 2:01:51
  the emergency room. How embarrassing is that?
• 2:01:54
  A big tough guy like me, and she's like, yeah, you need
• 2:01:57
  somebody to push them in. It's embarrassing.
• 2:02:00
  That's what the hospital is there for me.
• 2:02:01
  You don't. You don't go there when.
• 2:02:03
  You're strong. It's embarrassing, man.
• 2:02:05
  It was embarrassing. And then when you're walking.
• 2:02:07
  In there well, when you're rolling in there, you're asking
• 2:02:10
  for a couple of bags because you're going to be throwing up
• 2:02:12
  all over the place true story by the way, how we we really
• 2:02:15
  appreciate your time, man go Yankees, man, and this ABS crap
• 2:02:20
  that baseball has get rid of it get rid of it.
• 2:02:23
  Howie, what are we doing here? We need to figure this out.
• 2:02:26
  You're stuck man, and not getting rid of it well.
• 2:02:29
  You know, I'll tell you what we're doing.
• 2:02:31
  Make me the Commissioner and. I'll get rid of it, you know.
• 2:02:33
  There it is right over there. I appreciate you Howie.
• 2:02:36
  You're great buddy. Keep up with all the great work.
• 2:02:39
  Howie will get you. On as.
• 2:02:40
  By the way, 40 games and we're. Getting you on because when when
• 2:02:43
  40 games get closer, I'm going to tell you Bob Bouchette's
• 2:02:46
  hitting 222. What's going on, Howie, what's
• 2:02:49
  going on? He's being stifled by this
• 2:02:50
  amazing Marlins team that's going to be in the.
• 2:02:53
  NLCS Howie I do, I just I do not believe Bob Bouchette is going.
• 2:02:57
  To hit 300 this year, I'm just telling you, I don't even think
• 2:03:00
  he's hitting 28. We'll see.
• 2:03:01
  We'll see. Howie Carpen, he's telling me.
• 2:03:04
  He's telling me 40. Games.
• 2:03:06
  This guy's going to figure it out.
• 2:03:07
  I beg to differ, but hey, I'm praying Howie's rights listen if
• 2:03:11
  it is true I I'm going to when. We go to, I'll go to a ball.
• 2:03:14
  Game with you and I'll buy you your what?
• 2:03:16
  Your chicken fingers. OK, I'll get you your your box
• 2:03:18
  of chicken fingers all right, that's a that's a deal.
• 2:03:20
  And if I win, you got to take me to shake a shack because I I I I
• 2:03:24
  don't want to go to Yankee Stadium because I don't have
• 2:03:26
  Shake Shack. Let's go let's go to Citi
• 2:03:28
  fields. We'll enjoy a nice ball game and
• 2:03:30
  I get to enjoy a nice Shake Shack.
• 2:03:32
  I love the hamburgers over there.
• 2:03:33
  Just absolutely. Yeah, I'm not.
• 2:03:34
  I'm not allowed to have any wagers.
• 2:03:36
  So. Can't have any wagers all right,
• 2:03:40
  so you need to read the policy broker I work for.
• 2:03:42
  MLB, you know I got to. Watch myself.
• 2:03:44
  Yeah, I always. Shot a check?
• 2:03:46
  You might get a good job, you might get suspended.
• 2:03:47
  Indefinitely, like all those minor leaguers.
• 2:03:49
  Did I get suspended every single time I look?
• 2:03:53
  Anyways, thank you. Howie for joining us.
• 2:03:55
  You're fantastic. We'll talk to you soon, buddy.
• 2:03:57
  All right, you guys. Take care.
• 2:03:58
  Howie Carpin, man. Fantastic, great personality.
• 2:04:03
  You know, I wasn't expecting to interview him tonight.
• 2:04:05
  I really wasn't. But to have him come on at the
• 2:04:08
  last minute, it's sensational and we really appreciate it
• 2:04:11
  because it's not easy just to jump on and and talk baseball
• 2:04:14
  and, well, it's easy for him. Maybe not easy for us.
• 2:04:17
  Anyways, thank you to him. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:04:20
  we call this call your shot. I'm not an X's and O's guy,
• 2:04:23
  right? I'm not a tactician.
• 2:04:25
  I'm a motivator in the classic sense of the word, you know,
• 2:04:27
  Lombardi, Charles Lindbergh, that nun over in India, like
• 2:04:30
  those people call your shot. Wonderful, wonderful guest.
• 2:04:39
  Just. A wonderful personality.
• 2:04:41
  Our man Howie Carpet is all right, ladies and gentlemen, how
• 2:04:45
  do we do this? Well, what we're going to do is
• 2:04:47
  we're going to call our shots. We're going to tell you
• 2:04:49
  something we believe is going to happen in sports, and then we'll
• 2:04:54
  we'll tell you, you know, we'll call our shot.
• 2:04:57
  All right, So we're going to go with Speedy first.
• 2:05:00
  We'll go with Fish, We'll go to Quentin, we'll go to me.
• 2:05:02
  Here we go. All right.
• 2:05:03
  So I'm going to kind of follow up on the last thing in our
• 2:05:06
  concrete. Jungle Carousel, we talk about
• 2:05:08
  the Devil's getting rid of Tom Fitzgerald.
• 2:05:10
  I do believe they will fire Sheldon Keefe as well as their
• 2:05:13
  head coach. And the Devils have always had a
• 2:05:14
  pattern. They go for a young coach, then
• 2:05:16
  a veteran coach, then a young coach that a veteran coach.
• 2:05:19
  So I mentioned I called my shot on Peter Laviolette, ex Rangers
• 2:05:22
  coach to the LA Kings next year to join with our Tammy Panarin.
• 2:05:26
  I believe another rate ex Rangers coach Gerard Galatzo get
• 2:05:29
  back at a coach and he will be the next New Jersey Devils head
• 2:05:32
  coach. Wow, I.
• 2:05:36
  I don't know if that's going to happen.
• 2:05:37
  But I guess he's going to try to hit all of them.
• 2:05:39
  That's a good point, Speedy. I'm going to stay with hockey
• 2:05:42
  for my call, my shot, call your shot.
• 2:05:45
  I'm going to say who's going to win the Stanley Cup barrel?
• 2:05:48
  I've figured it. Out.
• 2:05:49
  I've been looking at all the numbers.
• 2:05:51
  I've been in the lab, the Giants, the Giants, excited to
• 2:05:54
  do. The Giants don't play, don't
• 2:05:57
  play hockey. If they did, they'd win.
• 2:06:00
  Let's face it, you know Abdul Carter would escape circles
• 2:06:03
  around all these guys. I figured, you know, it's the
• 2:06:05
  best. But the team the Rangers are
• 2:06:06
  going to? Give us a big contract.
• 2:06:08
  They might as well at this point.
• 2:06:09
  But I I think it's the. The place that I used to live
• 2:06:13
  that used to win championships when I was there, the Tampa Bay
• 2:06:16
  Lightning that are going to win the Stanley Cup this year.
• 2:06:19
  They have probably the guy who's going to come in second for the
• 2:06:23
  Hart Trophy, Mr. Nikita Kucherov, and they have
• 2:06:26
  Vasileski who's having another Vesna.
• 2:06:28
  He's probably going to be a finalist for the Vesna could win
• 2:06:30
  it type season. They have the second most goals
• 2:06:35
  per game at 3.5, second seven, and 3rd fewest against at 2.77.
• 2:06:42
  They have the second most goal differential in the entire
• 2:06:45
  league. They're better than everyone in
• 2:06:46
  the Eastern Conference in my opinion, and I think if anything
• 2:06:50
  trips up the Avalanche along the way, I think the Lightning
• 2:06:53
  handle anyone else. Otherwise I think we're treated
• 2:06:55
  to one of the best 7 game series we'll ever have.
• 2:06:58
  The Lightning in the Avalanche now.
• 2:07:00
  I'm still going with Vasi and the boys in Tampa.
• 2:07:03
  I got some crazy tonight, New York Jets were.
• 2:07:06
  Made the playoff led by your QB, one Gino Smith.
• 2:07:10
  The promised land not to the Championship.
• 2:07:14
  But to the players? Hold on one second right there.
• 2:07:18
  Hold on one second there. We go, you said.
• 2:07:20
  You said that The Jets have so many weaknesses in their
• 2:07:23
  defense. All of a sudden they're making
• 2:07:25
  the playoffs. They're going to make the
• 2:07:26
  playoffs. I can say it was going to be
• 2:07:28
  pretty. They're going to make the 1st.
• 2:07:29
  They're going, it's going. They're going to make the
• 2:07:30
  playoffs wrong. They're going to get not that
• 2:07:33
  first round. But the worst part about that
• 2:07:36
  is. It's going to mess up their
• 2:07:37
  opportunities. Of course, of course, of course
• 2:07:41
  you would say something like. That thank you suggest that's
• 2:07:44
  what we have to do. That's what we do.
• 2:07:46
  This is looking for all the positives of the ways he could
• 2:07:48
  downgrade The Jets. I don't have to do much work on
• 2:07:52
  that one. My call, your shot.
• 2:07:54
  Is for Cinco de Mayo. As the big cruiserweight fight
• 2:07:58
  is coming right up, I can't wait for it.
• 2:08:01
  David Benavidez versus Gilberto Ramirez.
• 2:08:04
  This is going to be a big fight, and right now the cruiserweight
• 2:08:07
  champion of the world is Gilbert Ramirez.
• 2:08:09
  I know Oscar De La Hoya is promoting it, and everybody
• 2:08:12
  can't wait for it. I don't think this is even going
• 2:08:15
  to be a fight. David Benavidez is going to
• 2:08:18
  knockout Gilberto Ramirez in the seventh round.
• 2:08:22
  That is my prediction, ladies and gentlemen.
• 2:08:25
  Ramirez is a great fighter, but Benavidez is, to me, I think
• 2:08:29
  he's the best fighter in the world right now.
• 2:08:31
  He's moving up a weight class because nobody wants to fight
• 2:08:34
  this guy. So he's moving up 50, 18 lbs to
• 2:08:37
  fight Ramirez and I think he's going to knock Ramirez out in
• 2:08:40
  the seventh round. So that is my call your shots.
• 2:08:46
  By the way, I'm a big Benavidez fan.
• 2:08:48
  So I'm I'm looking forward to this fight.
• 2:08:50
  A lot of boxing fans are looking forward to this fight.
• 2:08:53
  I'll tell you this, Oscar De La Hoya is going to win himself.
• 2:08:56
  He's going to make himself a lot of money after promoting this
• 2:08:58
  fight. I think it's a, it's going to be
• 2:09:00
  an up and coming. Everybody's looking forward to
• 2:09:02
  Cinco de Mayo. Every Cinco de Mayo it, it's
• 2:09:06
  there's always a big boxing fight.
• 2:09:07
  And this fight is to me is a fight that everybody's looking
• 2:09:12
  forward to. ESPN reports that Doc Rivers on
• 2:09:15
  March 2nd, following a blowout loss against the Bulls, called a
• 2:09:20
  team meeting that led him to losing the locker room.
• 2:09:24
  ESPN also verified that A at at least 6 Bucks players mentioned
• 2:09:30
  that they were done with Doc Rivers after that night.
• 2:09:34
  His most embarrassing statement was telling the Bucks players to
• 2:09:38
  look at his resume and even stole the line.
• 2:09:41
  Google Me Made famous by Indiana football coach Kurt Signetti
• 2:09:47
  last year, Rivers also called out Kyle Kuzma for his mistakes
• 2:09:52
  in recent games and even showed video displays of what Kuzma did
• 2:09:58
  wrong, leading him to being a healthy scratch in several games
• 2:10:03
  after Kuzma tried to speak up. Bobby Porter's also called out
• 2:10:08
  the Bucks for having no urgency under Doc Rivers following a a
• 2:10:13
  45 point loss to the Nets in December.
• 2:10:16
  These problems led to Giannis mentioning 2 two different times
• 2:10:22
  that he wanted to be traded this season, which is something he
• 2:10:26
  never did in previous years. According to his agent.
• 2:10:29
  Doc had a 96 and one O 1 regular season record and a three and
• 2:10:35
  eight playoff record in almost three years with the Bucks and
• 2:10:39
  reports say he is. I'm sorry, he is as good as gone
• 2:10:44
  and the Bucks have already started searching for his
• 2:10:47
  replacement Doc Rivers right now.
• 2:10:52
  Is moving towards. Hall of Fame status, he's going
• 2:10:55
  to the Hall of Fame, so of course he likes to brag about
• 2:10:59
  what he has done in the past. And I know.
• 2:11:01
  And Q, just let me finish before you cut in and give me your take
• 2:11:06
  on his Boston. Run OK the fact.
• 2:11:10
  Here is everywhere this man has gone, he has failed to win
• 2:11:15
  except one time. One time he went to the Clippers
• 2:11:19
  and the Clippers were a good team, good regular season team.
• 2:11:22
  He had Chris Paul and a bunch of great talent around him.
• 2:11:26
  He had Lob City there. This team was one of the elite
• 2:11:29
  teams in the Western Conference. They go to the playoffs and they
• 2:11:33
  can't even make the Easter. They can't even make the Western
• 2:11:35
  Conference finals. This team had all that talent
• 2:11:38
  they had, I think if I'm not mistaken at least two of those
• 2:11:42
  years they had the 6th man of the year on that roster and they
• 2:11:45
  still still couldn't go to Western Conference finals.
• 2:11:49
  The problem here is, is Doc Rivers is not a winning coach.
• 2:11:52
  He never was. Yes he won with a great team
• 2:11:56
  with the Celtics, a great team. Kevin Garnett is one of the best
• 2:11:59
  power forwards of all time. You could argue you one of the
• 2:12:02
  top 3 greatest power forwards of all time and then you have Paul
• 2:12:07
  Pierce. We all know what he calls
• 2:12:08
  himself the truth. Ray Allen, one of the greatest 3
• 2:12:11
  point shooters of all time. Rajon Rondo at a young as a as a
• 2:12:15
  young point guard, one of the bigger and talented young point
• 2:12:18
  guards, rebounders, defensive players at his position.
• 2:12:21
  That team was born to win. I don't think you need Doc
• 2:12:25
  Rivers to win a championship in those years.
• 2:12:27
  I mean, the leadership that you have with Paul Pierce, Ray Allen
• 2:12:30
  and Kevin Garnett, I don't think you can argue that team had a
• 2:12:34
  tremendous amount of talent to win championships,
• 2:12:37
  Championships. They only won one when I look at
• 2:12:41
  the box. He was given the.
• 2:12:43
  Bucs team and and by the way. He.
• 2:12:46
  He took over for this team when they're a winning team.
• 2:12:48
  They were a winning or they were.
• 2:12:51
  I think if I'm not mistaken, they won 35 games that year.
• 2:12:54
  I think they were 35 and 20. And they fired their coach and
• 2:12:58
  they brought Doc Rivers in because they thought Doc Rivers.
• 2:13:00
  Would make that team. That much better and he made
• 2:13:03
  that team that much worse. This guy, and I'll say this
• 2:13:07
  again, he does. Not know how to.
• 2:13:09
  Develop players. He's never developed players in
• 2:13:12
  any year of his coaching. Now you want to say that he went
• 2:13:16
  to the Clippers and he developed players?
• 2:13:17
  Not really. Chris Paul was a developed
• 2:13:19
  player. That team had all developed
• 2:13:22
  players on that roster. I don't have the roster in front
• 2:13:25
  of me, but I can tell you right now, three out of the seven
• 2:13:28
  start seven players that he rotated in that rotation.
• 2:13:32
  Three of them were All Stars for at least two of the years to me.
• 2:13:38
  When I think of Doc Rivers, it's.
• 2:13:40
  Not championship coach, Hall of Famer.
• 2:13:44
  To me, he's one of the most overrated coaches.
• 2:13:46
  In NBA history. And that's the fact I I don't
• 2:13:49
  think he was a great basketball player.
• 2:13:51
  He wasn't. He played for the next a couple
• 2:13:53
  of years, Speedy. You can laugh and giggle all you
• 2:13:54
  want. No, I'm off of your queue.
• 2:13:56
  He wasn't. He wasn't his career.
• 2:13:59
  Average. As an NBA player was what, 11
• 2:14:01
  points? He's not a good NBA player.
• 2:14:05
  Jeff Hornes Jeff Hornes Jeff Hornesack was a better player
• 2:14:08
  than Doc Rivers was as a basketball player.
• 2:14:11
  He was on the Utah Jazz. He was better.
• 2:14:16
  And if you look at the facts of. This story that.
• 2:14:19
  Nobody likes him in the locker room, right We're at right now
• 2:14:21
  with Milwaukee. One of the main reasons why
• 2:14:23
  Giannis wants to get the hell out of there was Doc Rivers.
• 2:14:27
  Doc Rivers has not helped the organization.
• 2:14:29
  Get better he's. Got to me, he's made the
• 2:14:31
  organization worse and then he thought by coming in there and
• 2:14:35
  taking over a veteran team that he can take this team to the
• 2:14:39
  promised land. This team has not been the same
• 2:14:42
  team in almost five years. They fired a coach that won him
• 2:14:45
  a championship. They fired a coach after one bad
• 2:14:49
  season and then they bring in another coach.
• 2:14:53
  Who was doing pretty? Good for him and then I fire him
• 2:14:56
  because he couldn't get along with some of the young players
• 2:14:59
  on the roster. The fact here is.
• 2:15:03
  Is Doc Rivers. Is a cancer.
• 2:15:06
  He's a cancer now. What he did.
• 2:15:08
  With Boston if. Every every Boston fan wants to
• 2:15:11
  say that Doc Rivers was the one of the main reasons why they won
• 2:15:13
  a championship. Fine.
• 2:15:15
  Give them all the credit in the world.
• 2:15:16
  They should have won multiple championships with that team,
• 2:15:19
  multiple championships with that team.
• 2:15:22
  The fact that they won one is disgraceful.
• 2:15:25
  It was disgraceful. They were handed, they were
• 2:15:27
  handed Kevin Garnett. They were handed Kevin Garnett
• 2:15:30
  and Ray Allen. I mean, I don't know what a what
• 2:15:33
  a debacle that was. He was traded over there.
• 2:15:36
  Did he was traded or signed of it?
• 2:15:38
  I don't even remember. But I think Ray Allen was there
• 2:15:41
  before Kevin Garnett was there. Yeah.
• 2:15:43
  No, it was in the draft. Like they got him in the.
• 2:15:45
  Draft, but yeah, who? Who?
• 2:15:46
  Ray Allen? They traded it.
• 2:15:47
  They traded for Ray Allen, yeah. So.
• 2:15:50
  Ray Allen was there before Kevin Garnett was there.
• 2:15:53
  So this team was put together to win championships.
• 2:15:58
  And, and again, when I look at Doc Rivers in his career,
• 2:16:02
  everywhere he's gone, he's gone to good teams.
• 2:16:04
  Think about it. I mean, when he took over from
• 2:16:06
  Milwaukee, Milwaukee wasn't, they weren't a championship team
• 2:16:09
  anymore, but they had championship players and they
• 2:16:12
  thought that he was the missing piece.
• 2:16:13
  He would take them to the promised land.
• 2:16:14
  Again, everywhere he's gone, he has failed to do so.
• 2:16:18
  When he went to the 76ers, how many players couldn't stand Doc
• 2:16:22
  Rivers, Joel and B couldn't stand them.
• 2:16:25
  Nobody could stand him. Nobody.
• 2:16:28
  I mean the practices. That he was holding.
• 2:16:30
  Some of his players couldn't stand.
• 2:16:32
  They couldn't stand each other because of him, because he was
• 2:16:34
  playing sides. Doc Rivers problem over his.
• 2:16:39
  Career is he doesn't know. How to coach stars?
• 2:16:41
  He really doesn't. He's got he's got stars coaching
• 2:16:45
  him. Think about it.
• 2:16:47
  Kevin Garnett was calling the defensive plays when they won
• 2:16:51
  that championship that year. He was calling the plays in the
• 2:16:54
  huddle. He was him and Tom Thibodeau.
• 2:16:57
  He was the anchor, not Doc. Rivers, doc.
• 2:17:00
  Rivers was. Just sitting there or?
• 2:17:01
  Standing there with his arm. Crossed like this.
• 2:17:05
  Doc Rivers is to me, not a team. Leader he is not.
• 2:17:08
  A great coach, even his son. One of the most overrated Blue
• 2:17:11
  Devils of all time. OK, one of the most overrated
• 2:17:16
  Duke Blue Devils of all time. What did he do with the Duke
• 2:17:18
  Blue Devils? Nothing.
• 2:17:19
  They lost in the first round of Lehigh.
• 2:17:21
  Nothing. And he?
• 2:17:22
  Sat there at every single game. Watching his son bragging about
• 2:17:25
  how great his son was going to be in the NBA.
• 2:17:27
  How bad was he in the NBA? Oh I know he went to LA Clippers
• 2:17:30
  because his father was coaching that and it was a first round
• 2:17:32
  pick when he never should have been anywhere close.
• 2:17:34
  The fact here. Is Kyle Kuzma is a veteran?
• 2:17:37
  Player Kyle Kuzma, when he came into the league, I remember he
• 2:17:41
  was playing for the Nets. He was a pretty good net.
• 2:17:43
  He was pretty good with Washington.
• 2:17:45
  He's bounced around a couple of teams.
• 2:17:48
  His game is to me broken. He's not a great defender, but
• 2:17:52
  he he's got a good a decent offensive game.
• 2:17:53
  He can rebound for his size and he could score.
• 2:17:56
  He he he can give you a 1516 points a game if if you have
• 2:18:00
  them in your offense. The fact and Kyle Kuzma is very
• 2:18:02
  liked by the players, Giannis, Bobby Porter, they all are very
• 2:18:07
  close with Kyle Kuzma. And when you're hearing stories
• 2:18:11
  that they're having team. Meetings and.
• 2:18:13
  He's going out there and saying, oh, what did he say?
• 2:18:16
  Google me. I look how famous I am.
• 2:18:19
  Look at what I've done. Go Google you.
• 2:18:22
  You shouldn't be a Hall of Famer.
• 2:18:24
  The fact that they're inducting you in the Hall of Fame.
• 2:18:26
  I've said it again on my story, Amari Stottlemyre shouldn't be
• 2:18:29
  in the Hall of Fame. He shouldn't be in the Hall of
• 2:18:31
  Fame. The fact that everybody gets
• 2:18:33
  inducted into the Hall of Fame if you're half decent as a coach
• 2:18:35
  and a player is despicable and you want to know something.
• 2:18:39
  He should never get a coaching job again in the NBA.
• 2:18:42
  Honest to God he should never get a coaching job.
• 2:18:44
  If after Milwaukee parts ways with him.
• 2:18:47
  If you see where he has gone from one team to another, think
• 2:18:50
  about it. Look at the talented teams he's
• 2:18:52
  coached over the years. You won 1 championship as a
• 2:18:56
  coach, 1 championship with those Clipper teams.
• 2:19:00
  The even the 76ers. The 76ers were to me, they were
• 2:19:05
  built to win. They were a once in one year and
• 2:19:06
  they lost to Atlanta. They were built to win.
• 2:19:09
  And you're choked because you. Can't win the big game.
• 2:19:12
  You don't have Tom Thibodeau as your defensive guy?
• 2:19:15
  Come on, guys, you really think that Doc Rivers is a Hall of
• 2:19:18
  Famer? Google me, I'll Google you and I
• 2:19:21
  put on on your Google profile. Suck suck.
• 2:19:25
  Can't win the big game. You stink.
• 2:19:28
  Yeah, he inherited a team in the Clippers that already was a
• 2:19:30
  veteran team. Like you're right.
• 2:19:31
  He didn't develop a young star. That was like a an older team
• 2:19:34
  developed a young star. Yeah, maybe again, maybe he took
• 2:19:37
  Blake Griffin. To another level.
• 2:19:38
  I always did. Blake Griffin was already, Yeah,
• 2:19:40
  I was going to say he was the number one pick because he was,
• 2:19:42
  yeah. He he had a couple.
• 2:19:43
  Bad years in the getting Oklahoma.
• 2:19:45
  Yeah, I remember he had a couple bad years in the beginning of
• 2:19:47
  his career. Where he was demoted to the G
• 2:19:48
  League and. Then he then he got elevated a
• 2:19:50
  little more, I think a couple years before Doc Rivers got
• 2:19:52
  there. Yeah, I'm going to say only a
• 2:19:53
  small upgrade you had like Hedo Turklu and Jamal Crawford.
• 2:19:57
  He won the slam dunk contest before Doc Rivers even go.
• 2:20:00
  No, I know. That so you're inheriting that
• 2:20:02
  team and you. Go to the second round of the
• 2:20:05
  Dude. He was a star.
• 2:20:06
  Before that, he jumped over a Hyundai Elantra.
• 2:20:08
  Everybody loved Blake Griffin. What made what made Doc Rivers?
• 2:20:13
  You know what made Blake Griffin better?
• 2:20:15
  Chris Paul. Yes, that's what made Blake
• 2:20:17
  Griffin better, not Doc Rivers. Everybody.
• 2:20:20
  Kevin Garnett made Doc Rivers a champion.
• 2:20:22
  Yeah, that's the truth. That's adventure, Chris.
• 2:20:24
  That's the truth. Chris Paul should have been a
• 2:20:25
  Laker, but obviously that trade got rescinded and.
• 2:20:28
  Then he ends up going to the Clippers later on, so he kind of
• 2:20:30
  lucked into that one. So then he doesn't even get to
• 2:20:33
  the Western Conference finals. They blow A31 lead against a
• 2:20:35
  Rockets team that was very new all at once, that they had more
• 2:20:38
  talent then. And they still can't even just
• 2:20:40
  win playoff games and really bad playoff losses too.
• 2:20:43
  Utah when Donald Mitchell was a young guy, like a team said,
• 2:20:47
  hey, no business losing to then you mentioned it with this
• 2:20:49
  Milwaukee Bucks team, like Milwaukee got rid of Butenholzer
• 2:20:52
  for whatever reason after they made no sense.
• 2:20:54
  Yeah, they they lost an 8 seed Miami Heat team.
• 2:20:57
  OK, Yeah. You want to say that because
• 2:20:59
  who's better, Boonholzer? Boonholzer I love or Doc Riven I
• 2:21:02
  don't care. What you love.
• 2:21:03
  Who do you think is a better coach?
• 2:21:04
  Yeah, I love Boonholzer. I was not disputing that.
• 2:21:07
  Of course you would think Doc Riven because Boon coached the
• 2:21:09
  Celtic. Boonholzer had a very stable run
• 2:21:11
  with an Atlanta team that they don't care about basketball.
• 2:21:13
  There was thoughts them selling the team, getting into arena for
• 2:21:16
  a while and they went to the playoffs pretty consistently.
• 2:21:18
  They went to the Eastern Conference finals and lost to
• 2:21:19
  LeBron like everyone, everyone does that.
• 2:21:22
  That doesn't make all the Pacers coaches that they had they're
• 2:21:24
  bad because they lost to LeBron. Like that was the same pace they
• 2:21:27
  were on. He goes to Milwaukee Bucks team.
• 2:21:28
  They get to the Eastern Conference finals pretty
• 2:21:30
  quickly. Yeah, they blow it to Toronto
• 2:21:31
  fine, but then they go back and then win the finals the next
• 2:21:34
  year and they get rid of them because they had one bad year
• 2:21:36
  losing to win at Miami Heat AC, which by the way made the NBA
• 2:21:40
  Finals that year. So it's clearly was not a fluke.
• 2:21:42
  And since then, what did they do?
• 2:21:44
  They made an unconventional hire with Adrian Griffin.
• 2:21:46
  I didn't love you at the time, but like you said, I only
• 2:21:48
  started 35 and 12 or something like that.
• 2:21:51
  They had a winning record. There were 20 games over 500 and
• 2:21:54
  they fired. Him to add Doc Rivers right?
• 2:21:56
  It made no sense for the time they lost like 8 games in a row
• 2:21:59
  with Doc. Since then it just got very.
• 2:22:01
  Unstable all at once. All right, Q go ahead.
• 2:22:03
  That can't wait for this carbon. What a time.
• 2:22:07
  It's about congratulate Doc Rivers again for making the
• 2:22:10
  heart of fame. I don't think he gets the credit
• 2:22:12
  that he deserves, especially not but now that I'm here, I'm
• 2:22:15
  definitely going to make sure that he get the credit that he's
• 2:22:17
  deserved. In regards to the topic at hand.
• 2:22:20
  I really don't see nothing wrong with that.
• 2:22:22
  Start hearing these rumors that's coming out of the locker
• 2:22:24
  room, players saying this, coaches saying this and whatnot.
• 2:22:27
  But in reality, when you look at Doc Rivers resume, he had every
• 2:22:31
  right he could. You know, he can get emotional
• 2:22:33
  and say Google me, this guy has won a championship.
• 2:22:36
  This guy's not and Hall of Fame inductee, I don't see why it's
• 2:22:41
  an issue when he get emotional and say hey Google me in regards
• 2:22:46
  to Kyle Kuzma. Kyle Kuzma try to stand up for
• 2:22:50
  someone and anytime you do that, the coaches are already made-up
• 2:22:53
  in his mind in regards to however he's feeling about that
• 2:22:55
  play or that player. So you taking the bat, taking
• 2:22:58
  the heat for them is not going to make your situation any
• 2:23:01
  better. If you have, if you have you
• 2:23:03
  been looking at Kyle Kuzma's play over the past few years, it
• 2:23:07
  has not been impressive. I mean, the guy just threw the
• 2:23:09
  ball completely over a wide open teammates head in the recent
• 2:23:14
  game. What up?
• 2:23:15
  It just got beat by the Nets. He's not contributing.
• 2:23:17
  So listen, you're not you're not in a position to be taken up and
• 2:23:21
  being a leader in this thing. Bobby Porter's is obviously the
• 2:23:24
  leader in regards to that locker room.
• 2:23:27
  Yeah, I know. I I get it.
• 2:23:29
  You. You think that it got to?
• 2:23:31
  Be a superstar. You got to have all these stats
• 2:23:33
  and whatever, but it be the guys who are not as successful on the
• 2:23:37
  court that be the leaders in the locker room.
• 2:23:39
  I know you you don't believe that and you believe it's the
• 2:23:42
  guy that gets all the camera time, but at the end of the day,
• 2:23:44
  there's locker rules where the guy who doesn't get the most
• 2:23:47
  camera time actually is the leader within the within the
• 2:23:50
  locker room. In regards to Doc Rivers, I
• 2:23:53
  think you he did average of like 14 points or 17 points two years
• 2:23:58
  in the in the league. He also All Star one time, so he
• 2:24:01
  wasn't completely garbage. OK, all right.
• 2:24:03
  So he was compared to all this, all these superstars and all
• 2:24:06
  that. Yes.
• 2:24:07
  But he was the. All Star, everybody don't make
• 2:24:09
  the All Star, OK? And everybody don't average 1417
• 2:24:12
  points when you go back. Everybody doesn't make the All
• 2:24:14
  Star, please. Not everybody so.
• 2:24:17
  You can finish it off, so I just think.
• 2:24:18
  It's just. It's just an emotional case when
• 2:24:20
  somebody got, you know, some information in regards to what's
• 2:24:23
  going on in the locker room. They are a bad team, a bad
• 2:24:28
  organization right now. Oh, yeah, They had that one time
• 2:24:30
  that they, you know, wanted just like the Celtics.
• 2:24:32
  One time. One time.
• 2:24:34
  No, we. Have actually.
• 2:24:35
  One time with Doc Rivers. One time.
• 2:24:37
  One time with the. Great.
• 2:24:39
  We have like 18 to 19. That's not what I'm.
• 2:24:42
  Talking about I am talking about.
• 2:24:44
  I am talking about way ahead of them.
• 2:24:45
  I am talking about. Doc.
• 2:24:47
  Rivers. He won one Title 1 championship,
• 2:24:50
  buddy. One.
• 2:24:51
  That's all. And how many years that means?
• 2:24:54
  And how many years coaching, coaching the NBA that don't?
• 2:24:57
  Championship. That's what you.
• 2:24:58
  Felt in the real life, you want to compare him to field.
• 2:25:00
  You don't realize that he sticks his head coach, this guy.
• 2:25:03
  Won a championship, that is the one.
• 2:25:05
  I'm sorry. You mean you mean Kevin Garnett
• 2:25:08
  won a? Championship.
• 2:25:10
  That's what you mean. Kevin Garnett.
• 2:25:12
  Paul Pierce. And Ray Allen.
• 2:25:14
  Won the championship, yes, but but Chris Paul, what is he
• 2:25:19
  doing? Go there, go there, play.
• 2:25:22
  There mean talent play defense there win it.
• 2:25:24
  Please. Talent don't win it.
• 2:25:25
  All the time, OK? You got to draw.
• 2:25:28
  It's a system you need a system for.
• 2:25:30
  Let me talk, please. OK.
• 2:25:33
  You've talked enough. Very patient.
• 2:25:35
  You've said enough. Patient with you, OK?
• 2:25:36
  Really Very, very patient. I'm hearing enough of this
• 2:25:40
  carpet. Very patient with you, OK.
• 2:25:42
  Thank you. Now Doc Rivers is a coach, is an
• 2:25:46
  old school coach, so he needs a more very type team, Sir, I'm
• 2:25:51
  talking all. Right.
• 2:25:52
  Veteran type team OK, so this is the reason why he's conflicted
• 2:25:56
  when it comes to these younger teams because they don't really
• 2:25:59
  want to adjust to that old school style type coaching that
• 2:26:03
  that he that he brings to the table.
• 2:26:04
  So I don't think that this is his last coaching job.
• 2:26:08
  First and foremost, I think he would being done until Hall of
• 2:26:10
  Fame coming up soon in the next couple of months, whatever he'd
• 2:26:14
  be wearing a gold jacket that he did not pay for and or is it
• 2:26:17
  orange now It's like an orange jacket so that he did not pay
• 2:26:20
  for it. And I I love that he's getting
• 2:26:23
  the credit that he deserved in regards to the Hall of Fame.
• 2:26:27
  But I do think that the media does a bad job and and giving
• 2:26:30
  him credit in regards to who he has truly been as a coach and as
• 2:26:34
  a player. He's not the best and he's not
• 2:26:36
  maybe not top five, but he's been pretty consistent overall
• 2:26:41
  in his career. All right, are you done?
• 2:26:43
  Are you done? Because I want to throw
• 2:26:44
  something at. You.
• 2:26:45
  This is how. This is how you know.
• 2:26:48
  This is how you know Doc Rivers is not that important to the
• 2:26:52
  league when they're they're giving him compliments of his
• 2:26:55
  awards. Eastern Conference coach of the
• 2:26:57
  month, Eastern Conference coach of the month.
• 2:26:59
  Eastern Conference coach of the month.
• 2:27:01
  How many how many, how many times do we have to see him
• 2:27:04
  coach of the month to realize that the guy is not a great
• 2:27:07
  coach? Don't win that award.
• 2:27:10
  Not been a great coach. I'm sorry.
• 2:27:11
  I'm sorry. It's it's isn't.
• 2:27:12
  It a team sport. Isn't it?
• 2:27:14
  And to me, no, it's not a coach. Actually, actually, the NBA is
• 2:27:19
  not about the coach. It's.
• 2:27:20
  About stars. That's what it's about.
• 2:27:22
  It's a players league, not about the coach.
• 2:27:26
  How many times have we seen bad teams win championships?
• 2:27:29
  How many? I'm sorry, bad coaches win
• 2:27:31
  championships. Bad.
• 2:27:32
  Coaches win. Championships Doc Rivers won
• 2:27:35
  the. Championship, he said he's.
• 2:27:36
  A bad coach? I'm saying that bad coaches.
• 2:27:37
  Have won the championships. Bad coaches have won.
• 2:27:40
  Championships many, many times in the NBA.
• 2:27:42
  In the NBA, without coaching, it just happened.
• 2:27:46
  If you have talent. Yes, if you have talent, yeah.
• 2:27:49
  There are guys like Spall straight.
• 2:27:50
  He's a good coach. Pat Riley's a good coach.
• 2:27:53
  Yeah. But you, you want to tell me
• 2:27:54
  this? If you look at those, those
• 2:27:57
  great Laker teams, you're going to tell me they never win a
• 2:28:00
  championship without Pat Riley. They do that talent with that
• 2:28:04
  kind of talent. They're winning a championship
• 2:28:05
  with or without Pat Riley. Pat Riley gave him an edge, but
• 2:28:09
  they're winning the Showtime Lakers as a player driven league
• 2:28:13
  it is. It is a player driven league,
• 2:28:16
  the NBA out of all the. Sports out of all the sports.
• 2:28:20
  The NBA is a player driven league.
• 2:28:22
  The NHL you need, you need coaching.
• 2:28:24
  Absolutely need coaching. Absolutely.
• 2:28:26
  Football, you need coaching. You do, you do, MOB.
• 2:28:31
  I mean you. Can argue you more.
• 2:28:32
  Analytic driven. Now it is more analytic, but you
• 2:28:35
  need. You need managers, but.
• 2:28:37
  If you look at the sports, out of all the four big sports here
• 2:28:40
  in America, the one sport that you can point out that you can
• 2:28:43
  win championships without great coaching is the NBA.
• 2:28:47
  And, and let's let's not hide behind it.
• 2:28:49
  It's the truth. And Doc Rivers is not a great
• 2:28:51
  coach. I don't know what you're
• 2:28:53
  watching. He is the Hall of Fame.
• 2:28:55
  He hasn't had problems. He hasn't.
• 2:28:57
  Had problems. Think about it if.
• 2:28:59
  He's just not a good coach. Think about it.
• 2:29:00
  Say hey. I don't.
• 2:29:02
  Like Doug Rivers and and then we'll accept he is not a good
• 2:29:06
  coach. He's not a good coach when he
• 2:29:07
  got why does he have the nickname?
• 2:29:10
  He's not a doctor. Of anything.
• 2:29:13
  He's not a doctor of anything. I don't know, he's pretty much
• 2:29:15
  pretty methodical as the formula of blown leads.
• 2:29:18
  The guy, he's not a doctor of anything.
• 2:29:20
  He's a doctor of losing. Coach or player he's.
• 2:29:22
  A He's a doctorate of. Losing, that's what he.
• 2:29:24
  Is he's a. Loser.
• 2:29:26
  That's what he is. He's not a born winner, Errol.
• 2:29:29
  He's not a winner. Guys, I got the answer for you
• 2:29:31
  here. Here's the answer Doc.
• 2:29:33
  Rivers is called Doc because when he joined the league he was
• 2:29:36
  wearing a Doctor JT shirt and they called him Doc.
• 2:29:39
  That's it and it. And it kind of ruined the name
• 2:29:41
  because honest to God, he's. A doctor of losing.
• 2:29:44
  That's what he is so in in in real life doctors is Dr. He's.
• 2:29:48
  The old stinks, man, he stinks. He hasn't done anything.
• 2:29:53
  That. Really.
• 2:29:54
  To me, think about it, he left, he got he got fired by the
• 2:29:57
  Clippers after the fact that a lot of the players couldn't
• 2:30:00
  stand him. He goes to the Philadelphia
• 2:30:02
  76ers, the players can't stand him.
• 2:30:05
  Now he goes to Milwaukee, the players can't stand him.
• 2:30:07
  Do we see the pattern here? Do we notice where the pattern
• 2:30:10
  is going? He's not liked by the players.
• 2:30:13
  He's not a good coach if you're not like.
• 2:30:15
  But Lenny Wilkins, Lenny Wilkins was one of the greatest coaches
• 2:30:19
  of all time. Was he liked by the players when
• 2:30:20
  he when he coached the Hawks? Absolutely.
• 2:30:23
  He was there for how many years with the Hawks?
• 2:30:25
  The reason why he was there for such a long time because he's a
• 2:30:28
  great coach and that he's good with the players.
• 2:30:30
  Phil Jackson, he was great with the players. him and I mean,
• 2:30:34
  nobody could get along with Dennis Rodman.
• 2:30:35
  But guess what? Phil Jackson figured out that
• 2:30:38
  great coaches could get along with Dennis Rodman.
• 2:30:39
  Yeah, when the last time that it was.
• 2:30:42
  Rivers, he can't get along with anybody, couldn't get along with
• 2:30:44
  his superstar. Joel Embiid.
• 2:30:46
  Him and Joel Embiid were going back and forth.
• 2:30:48
  How many players? How many players has he been
• 2:30:50
  arguing with on and off the basketball card, story,
• 2:30:53
  practice. The guy doesn't get along with
• 2:30:55
  anybody. How does that make him a good
• 2:30:57
  coach? How does that make wins?
• 2:31:00
  No, the team wins. He doesn't win.
• 2:31:03
  The team wins you just why don't you give credit?
• 2:31:05
  What credit due? Why?
• 2:31:07
  Why won't you do that? You want you want me to do that?
• 2:31:10
  You just read off his awards. He's.
• 2:31:12
  Getting adopted. To the awards coach, he has a
• 2:31:15
  championship and you constantly. Just degraded.
• 2:31:17
  Man, as if. He has no part in any of this
• 2:31:21
  success. No.
• 2:31:22
  So they just LED people in the Hall of Fame with no with with
• 2:31:24
  no resume. There are a lot of guys in the
• 2:31:27
  end, especially in the NBA, that are in the.
• 2:31:29
  Hall of Fame that shouldn't be there.
• 2:31:30
  Who? What do you mean who you want me
• 2:31:33
  to pull out? Let's bring up the Hall of Fame.
• 2:31:35
  I'll point them out right now. NBA Hall of Fame, Speedy, give
• 2:31:37
  me the NBA Hall of Fame. Anybody have it?
• 2:31:40
  I will point out who shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.
• 2:31:42
  You bring up the list based off based off what metric?
• 2:31:45
  Not just Earl, I'm going to tell.
• 2:31:47
  You that metric. I'm a big NBA fan.
• 2:31:49
  You. Bring you, bring up, you give
• 2:31:51
  me, you give me players and I'll tell you if they're.
• 2:31:54
  Hall of Farmers. I'll tell you if they're Hall of
• 2:31:57
  Farmers. Does anybody have it?
• 2:31:59
  It's speedy Mr. Types up 1,000,000 words and.
• 2:32:02
  Then he can't even, he can't even figure it out.
• 2:32:04
  Does anybody have the NBA Hall of Fame, Right, Maurice
• 2:32:07
  Thatamar, Not a Hall of Famer. Does anybody else Speedy, do you
• 2:32:12
  have? It we can't name a Turnbull, not
• 2:32:14
  a. Hall of Famer.
• 2:32:16
  Carmela, Anthony. Hall of Famer Dwight Howard.
• 2:32:19
  Dwight Howard's not a Hall. Of Famer so.
• 2:32:22
  Dwight. Howard's not a Hall of Famer I
• 2:32:24
  got. I can't see his.
• 2:32:25
  Induct It's too small. It's.
• 2:32:26
  Too small. I I can't see it.
• 2:32:28
  You can't see that. Oh, that's bad for you.
• 2:32:31
  There it is. Now I Chauncey Phillips.
• 2:32:33
  Not a whole name has been in the news.
• 2:32:34
  Not a. Hall of Famer we've got.
• 2:32:37
  Vince Carter. Not.
• 2:32:38
  A Hall of Famer Vince Carter's got to be not a Hall of.
• 2:32:41
  Famer he only is the longevity. If you want.
• 2:32:44
  To put him in the Hall of Fame because of his longevity, that's
• 2:32:47
  fine, but to me, one of the greatest players of all time and
• 2:32:50
  what he's done. Did Vince Carter ever win a
• 2:32:52
  championship? No, I don't think so.
• 2:32:54
  So there's a lot of them. Not a Hall of Fame, doesn't
• 2:32:56
  matter. Not a Hall of Famer.
• 2:32:57
  He was in. He was in a.
• 2:32:58
  Fan he got a. Winner, Cup, championship.
• 2:32:59
  No, I'm just saying. Now you got a.
• 2:33:00
  Winner Cup Wait with your. Longevity in the NBA for 20.
• 2:33:03
  Something years. You got to win a championship,
• 2:33:04
  He. Didn't win a championship, Go
• 2:33:06
  ahead. So when when you got out the
• 2:33:07
  house, it don't matter. But when Pau Gasol?
• 2:33:10
  I would say Borderland 40. Parker, Tony Parker.
• 2:33:12
  'S a Hall of Fame yes, Dwyne Wade Yes, Tony Parker is a Hall
• 2:33:15
  of Fame. Tim Hardaway, our friend of the.
• 2:33:17
  Show Hall of Fame, yes. He brought up before Chris
• 2:33:21
  Webber. No, Weber.
• 2:33:23
  No. Manu Ginobili, yes. 6th Man of
• 2:33:27
  the Year No, no. No, no.
• 2:33:28
  What? Yeah, the international and the.
• 2:33:30
  Championship, yes, 100%. Have to.
• 2:33:31
  Give it to him. He's a Hall of Famer.
• 2:33:33
  For what he did as an international player, here's a
• 2:33:35
  really championship. 'S A-Team remembered it, Tony KU
• 2:33:37
  Coach No. Tony KU coach.
• 2:33:39
  No, let's talk about. That I have a great name here
• 2:33:41
  for you. He's right.
• 2:33:42
  In the second, top, second guy on the top, Chris Bosh.
• 2:33:45
  Speaking of team player, no, not a Hall of Famer.
• 2:33:48
  That's one that team. He's not.
• 2:33:50
  He's not a Hall of Famer. What he's done in.
• 2:33:52
  His career. He had to go to a championship
• 2:33:54
  team. He had to, he had to be
• 2:33:56
  considered to be combined with Dwyane Wade and LeBron James to
• 2:34:00
  win his championship when he wished with Toronto.
• 2:34:02
  He had his better years with Toronto when he went to the
• 2:34:05
  Miami Heat. He, to me, he wasn't even an
• 2:34:08
  important factor of why why they won those championships.
• 2:34:11
  Ray Allen was more important in certain one of those games than
• 2:34:13
  he was because he hit a big set. Yeah, Ray Allen, this one, This
• 2:34:17
  one. Is wild to me, no.
• 2:34:19
  Not a Hall of Famer, Vladi Divas if you.
• 2:34:21
  Want to talk about compiling? Not a Hall of Famer.
• 2:34:23
  Oh my God, compiling body hair. Jack Sikma's a classic Paul
• 2:34:29
  Westfall. Paul Pierce, did we do?
• 2:34:31
  Paul Pierce Yeah, we did. Paul.
• 2:34:33
  He's a Hall of. Famer.
• 2:34:33
  He's a Hall of Famer. All right, here we go.
• 2:34:35
  We got. Rayas.
• 2:34:36
  Guys that didn't win. A championship.
• 2:34:38
  We got Grant Hill, not a Hall of Famer.
• 2:34:42
  I agree with that. Injuries.
• 2:34:44
  But injuries, again, we have to. Remember.
• 2:34:46
  This is not the NBA Hall of Fame.
• 2:34:49
  This is the Naismith basketball. I got it.
• 2:34:51
  They're including college here. I got it.
• 2:34:52
  If you include college, I guess you can make the case for Grant
• 2:34:55
  Hill. All right, I got it.
• 2:34:57
  Tracy McGrady T Mac No, not. A No, not a Hall of Famer.
• 2:35:01
  Jason Kidd. Hall.
• 2:35:03
  Of Famer, Yes, and. Steve Nash.
• 2:35:05
  Obviously, yes. I mean.
• 2:35:08
  We're not going to talk about the WNBA players.
• 2:35:10
  It's not really worth. That discussion.
• 2:35:12
  They did it. Angel Reese, please.
• 2:35:15
  Please. Yao Ming.
• 2:35:18
  Not a Hall of Fame, Not a Hall of Fame.
• 2:35:19
  No, He. He he went in with Shaq.
• 2:35:22
  In 20, he could never get up. Get past that and he, he, how
• 2:35:25
  many years did he? Play.
• 2:35:26
  He played eight years in the. NBA he shouldn't be a Hall of.
• 2:35:29
  Fame, but again, like. The international game bringing
• 2:35:32
  China. Into it, it's like one of the
• 2:35:33
  most important things. They have the CBA and
• 2:35:36
  everything. I would say the impact type of a
• 2:35:38
  guy, but I don't know. That's 10 years and you've
• 2:35:41
  named, I would say Errol about 10.
• 2:35:43
  There's, there's a lot of guys in the NBA, JoJo.
• 2:35:47
  White is a Hall of Famer by the way.
• 2:35:48
  So for for everybody that doesn't know who JoJo White, one
• 2:35:51
  of the greatest college players of all time, point guard.
• 2:35:54
  I remember JoJo, but I was I wasn't alive when JoJo was
• 2:35:57
  dominant, but he was a great, great player.
• 2:36:00
  My, my thought here is, is the NB as problem.
• 2:36:03
  The NFL doesn't do this. There are guys that should be in
• 2:36:06
  the Hall of Fame in the NFL that don't get into the Hall of Fame
• 2:36:09
  or get inducted into the Hall of Fame when they're dead.
• 2:36:12
  I mean it, it's ridiculous. Senior votes.
• 2:36:15
  It makes no sense. And even in the MLB, Barry, I
• 2:36:19
  don't care if he did steroids. Barry Bonds is a Hall of Famer.
• 2:36:22
  Roger Clemens is a Hall of Famer.
• 2:36:24
  They're a Hall of Famers. Alex Rodriguez is a Hall of
• 2:36:27
  Famer. Stop with this garbage that
• 2:36:29
  they're not Hall of Famers. Yeah, they did.
• 2:36:31
  Sarah, you want to put an asterisk on their name, that's
• 2:36:34
  fine. They're a Hall of Famers.
• 2:36:36
  So we sit here and and we look at all the sports, even in
• 2:36:40
  hockey, hockey. Look how long it took.
• 2:36:43
  I'm trying to remember, was it Pierre?
• 2:36:47
  Pierre Tershon should have been in the hall.
• 2:36:49
  Of fame years and years ago, it finally.
• 2:36:50
  Gets inducted in the Hall of Fame.
• 2:36:52
  It took him almost 20 years to get into the Hall of Fame.
• 2:36:54
  There are players that are not in the NHL Hall of Fame, and it
• 2:36:58
  makes no sense whatsoever. Makes no sense.
• 2:37:01
  I mean, Neil Smith is a Hall of Fame GM.
• 2:37:04
  He is a Hall of Fame GM. What he did for the Rangers,
• 2:37:08
  think about it. He made that mark messy a trade.
• 2:37:10
  He traded for Adam Graves. He was the one that drafted
• 2:37:13
  Sergey Zubov. He, when you look at that team
• 2:37:16
  and how that team was built, that was that was, that was him.
• 2:37:21
  So why isn't he in the Hall of Fame?
• 2:37:24
  But to me, it's a huge problem. John Van Beesbrook, OK, now he
• 2:37:29
  is not in the Hall of Fame because of some of the things
• 2:37:31
  that he's done off the ice, But this guy is one of the greatest
• 2:37:35
  winning goal tenders in American history.
• 2:37:38
  He's not in the Hall of Fame. When I look at all the sports
• 2:37:42
  from top to bottom, the one that sticks.
• 2:37:44
  Out like a sore thumb. That guys that even though they
• 2:37:47
  were great, great players, I mean, Tracy McGrady is a great
• 2:37:50
  player. Dwight Howard was a great
• 2:37:51
  player. Vince Carter was a great player.
• 2:37:54
  Longevity was sensational. They're not Hall of Farmers.
• 2:37:58
  They're not, they're great players, just not Hall of
• 2:38:00
  Farmers when you're looking at greats.
• 2:38:03
  What's your what's your argument with Dwight Howard?
• 2:38:07
  He had to go to the Lakers at the tail end of his career to
• 2:38:10
  win a championship. He had to go to the Yeah, and if
• 2:38:13
  he was so great second time if. He was so great.
• 2:38:15
  Of a player, why didn't? He win with those.
• 2:38:17
  Orlando Magic teams, listen, you just said it's a team sport.
• 2:38:22
  Now you. Want to put it on the
• 2:38:23
  individual, I mean the teams, he got paid a lot of money, he got
• 2:38:27
  paid a deep in the player. Of the year he got them a
• 2:38:29
  champion. So what contest?
• 2:38:30
  What time? All Star one of the best centers
• 2:38:33
  that ever played a game. No, he wasn't.
• 2:38:34
  No, he was not one of the best centers of all time.
• 2:38:37
  No, he was not. No, he was not.
• 2:38:39
  How long? How long was his peak?
• 2:38:41
  Would you say Speedy? How long was seven years?
• 2:38:43
  Seven years? Seven years?
• 2:38:45
  So how long? Do you need to have 10?
• 2:38:48
  10 years and as an idiot, I'd say what he.
• 2:38:50
  Wants the Lakers, Yeah, once he wants the Lakers the. 1st 10
• 2:38:53
  years as an elite player. Yes, if you.
• 2:38:56
  Can kill for seven years. Listen, Hall of Fame.
• 2:38:59
  OK, listen, you have to. Be my argument here.
• 2:39:03
  If if you're. You have to be in a 10 year
• 2:39:05
  span, a top ten player in the league to be inducted into the
• 2:39:08
  Hall of Fame. That's that's the way.
• 2:39:11
  Did the best of the best the best of the best?
• 2:39:14
  No, it's not good. Michael Jordan was LeBron James
• 2:39:16
  was Kobe Bryant was Tim Duncan was you want me to go on and on.
• 2:39:21
  Charles Barkley was you want to make it going.
• 2:39:23
  Tim Duncan was a top ten player in the league for 10 years
• 2:39:27
  absolutely at at at a high level 100%.
• 2:39:30
  Carl Malone was John Stockton was yes, they were.
• 2:39:34
  Isaiah Thomas was Tim Duncan was a top player for like well over
• 2:39:37
  a decade. Yes, he was only bad like the
• 2:39:39
  last year and a half when he was banged up.
• 2:39:42
  Dude, I'm going to tell you right now if you want me to name
• 2:39:44
  players. I I can't even.
• 2:39:46
  Magic Johnson was a top ten player for 10 years straight.
• 2:39:50
  Larry Bird was I could go on and on and on.
• 2:39:52
  You're going to tell me Tracy Mcgraney in a 10 year span was a
• 2:39:55
  top ten player in a league? Not a chance.
• 2:39:57
  Vince Carter, No, he was great. Top ten.
• 2:40:00
  That's fine, but that's not my argument here, Grant.
• 2:40:02
  Hill wasn't. Either he wasn't a time.
• 2:40:04
  Grant Hill was great for five years, five years.
• 2:40:07
  I remember his first five years were amazing.
• 2:40:09
  They were calling him the next Michael Jordan.
• 2:40:11
  Then he had that ankle or or leg problem.
• 2:40:14
  He was never the same player. Heel problem.
• 2:40:16
  That was that's what it was. It was a heel problem.
• 2:40:18
  OK, if you go back, if I'm looking at top top players and
• 2:40:23
  I'm looking at the greatest of all time in their decade, I you
• 2:40:27
  have to be for 10 years span. Chris Paul is a Hall of Famer.
• 2:40:31
  He is a Hall of Famer. He's a top ten point guard in
• 2:40:34
  the league, a top ten player in the league for 10 years
• 2:40:37
  straight, easy. He was the best point guard in
• 2:40:40
  the league for at least seven or eight years.
• 2:40:42
  So my argument here is a lot of Dickembe Mutombo was a good
• 2:40:46
  player, Hall of Famer, not a chance in hell, not a chance and
• 2:40:51
  may rest in peace. May rest in peace.
• 2:40:54
  You know my argument here is, and I know you laugh, the NBA
• 2:40:58
  just for some reason inducts these guys into the Hall of Fame
• 2:41:01
  for some damn reason. I don't get it, Adam Silver,
• 2:41:04
  because it's a players league. It's the LJA, the LeBron James
• 2:41:07
  Association. And to me, LeBron James thinks
• 2:41:11
  he's the greatest player of all time when she's on drugs because
• 2:41:13
  he'll never beat out Michael Jordan, never will be.
• 2:41:16
  And he could sit there and and go on the SP awards and sit with
• 2:41:20
  his boyfriends and look, Carmelo Anthony, he won't win more
• 2:41:23
  championships. He don't beat him out in scoring
• 2:41:24
  and some other things, dude. When you have the longevity,
• 2:41:26
  when you play 20 something more, I mean.
• 2:41:29
  He's got to have at least 10 years to even be nobody.
• 2:41:32
  Qualifying for Nobody saying so. Nobody saying longevity works in
• 2:41:35
  his favor. Nobody's saying that, LeBron.
• 2:41:37
  James. Is in a Hall of Famer he's a
• 2:41:38
  first ballot hall of. Famer.
• 2:41:39
  I'm not saying that, I'm not if you are saying that, but I'm
• 2:41:41
  just saying you can't use that against.
• 2:41:43
  Him because he's still in what I'm saying your conversation,
• 2:41:45
  you can what I'm saying about the GOAT.
• 2:41:48
  When I'm. Talking about what, Michael?
• 2:41:49
  Jordan did in his time won't be touched by any of these guys by
• 2:41:54
  any of these guys. I'm sorry, but it's I mean, I'd
• 2:41:57
  say Bill Russell get better than my country, except, except for.
• 2:42:01
  AJ Debansa. Please boys.
• 2:42:05
  I'm just saying guy that couldn't make it out of the
• 2:42:07
  first round. My argument here Q.
• 2:42:08
  Is not that these? Guys weren't great players.
• 2:42:11
  I'm. Not saying that Dwight Howard,
• 2:42:12
  Howard wasn't a great player. He was a great player.
• 2:42:14
  He's just a Hall of Famer. How wouldn't you give Bill
• 2:42:17
  Russell to go then instead? Of Michael Jordan, Bill Russell
• 2:42:20
  was a great defender. His all around game doesn't even
• 2:42:23
  touch. Michael Jordan's It's just, it's
• 2:42:25
  just a different game, don't you think, dude?
• 2:42:28
  Dude. LeBron.
• 2:42:29
  Is not a better. Defender than Michael Jordan.
• 2:42:31
  Was Michael Jordan was a it was an all world defender?
• 2:42:34
  I wouldn't say that really. You wouldn't say that, LeBron
• 2:42:37
  James. Couldn't touch.
• 2:42:38
  Michael Jordan in his defensive skills couldn't touch him.
• 2:42:41
  He couldn't touch him and as far.
• 2:42:44
  As. Michael.
• 2:42:45
  Jordan LeBron. James wouldn't be LeBron.
• 2:42:47
  James without Michael Jordan, neither would Kobe, sorry,
• 2:42:50
  because they so emulated their games through.
• 2:42:53
  Michael. Jordan it's.
• 2:42:54
  Totally two different. Players, yes, they're two
• 2:42:56
  different, yes, no question. They play two different
• 2:42:58
  positions, you said he. Emulated now Kobe you yes, but
• 2:43:00
  LeBron no. LeBron James, when he came into
• 2:43:02
  the league and, and, and he said who?
• 2:43:05
  Is his favorite player. Why do you wear #23?
• 2:43:07
  He says his game. He wanted to build his game as a
• 2:43:10
  bigger Michael Jordan. That's what he said.
• 2:43:12
  King, King LeBron. So he said it, not me.
• 2:43:16
  He's the one who told them when he was up there, when he got
• 2:43:19
  drafted by the Cavaliers and everybody said, who's your
• 2:43:21
  favorite player? Michael Jordan?
• 2:43:23
  Who did you want to play like when you were a kid?
• 2:43:25
  Michael Jordan? What do you want me to say?
• 2:43:28
  I didn't say it. He said it.
• 2:43:29
  Did he emulate? You said he emulated his game.
• 2:43:32
  We can look at. Kobe and see that he emulated
• 2:43:34
  his game. What part of Lebron's game is
• 2:43:36
  emulated by Michael? He didn't try it when he came
• 2:43:38
  into the league. He didn't try to do those fade
• 2:43:40
  away jumpers. He didn't.
• 2:43:41
  Try to do that. His game wasn't like that.
• 2:43:43
  In the beginning of parts of his career, he had to change his
• 2:43:46
  game. Yes, He couldn't be like Michael
• 2:43:49
  Jordan. Because when he started, he
• 2:43:50
  couldn't go left for the first. Six years of his career.
• 2:43:52
  That's true too. But but I'll tell you the thing
• 2:43:55
  that I think makes Errol right in this argument.
• 2:43:57
  Q Michael Jordan was Defensive Player of the Year in 198788.
• 2:44:02
  Kobe and LeBron never won Defensive Player of the Year.
• 2:44:05
  So yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, hold on, hold on.
• 2:44:08
  I think. I think.
• 2:44:09
  Those here's here's an award, here's an award.
• 2:44:13
  I'm not saying that he wasn't a great defender.
• 2:44:15
  But I'm just saying. I do think his name and and what
• 2:44:18
  he was doing for the league gave him an edge when it came down to
• 2:44:21
  it, because we know there was some a lot of here's a here's a
• 2:44:24
  here's a statistic that nobody in the.
• 2:44:27
  NBA, including LeBron James, would ever break.
• 2:44:29
  Michael Jordan won Defensive Player of the Year, MVP and A
• 2:44:33
  championship and was the championship MVP in one year.
• 2:44:37
  Nobody will ever do that. Ever.
• 2:44:39
  Michael Jordan did that one year.
• 2:44:41
  So beat that buddy, beat that. Tell me, look, you're great.
• 2:44:44
  Le Bron James. Did he ever do that?
• 2:44:46
  I think it was first team all defense, not a Le Bron James.
• 2:44:50
  Fan but I could recognize. His good.
• 2:44:53
  The stuff that he does well game is totally opposite on my yes,
• 2:44:57
  when he came into the league, he tried to play like Michael
• 2:44:59
  Jordan. He eventually had he did he
• 2:45:02
  thought his game based off what film?
• 2:45:04
  What do you mean? What film did you watch him play
• 2:45:06
  when he played? For the Cavaliers in the
• 2:45:07
  beginning. He tried to play his game.
• 2:45:10
  His game. Yeah, yes, he did.
• 2:45:12
  He did. Fadeaway jumper Michael.
• 2:45:13
  Jordan was a three-point. Shooter he wasn't.
• 2:45:15
  Everybody did a fadeaway jumper. His game was again.
• 2:45:18
  He was a bigger and more. Athletically guy, athletic guy
• 2:45:22
  because for for his size. But when he came into the
• 2:45:25
  league, he tried to and he he he came out and he said at the
• 2:45:29
  draft, you want to go back to the draft, go back to the draft
• 2:45:32
  and look, they said who do you emulate your game after he said
• 2:45:36
  Michael Jordan. So you want to say that it
• 2:45:38
  wasn't like that after after the fact?
• 2:45:40
  Yeah. He's not Michael Jordan about
• 2:45:42
  somebody saying person looking at the game.
• 2:45:46
  Look what he's doing. I get my favorite player could
• 2:45:49
  be whoever. It doesn't matter.
• 2:45:51
  What is your game showing if it ain't showing it?
• 2:45:54
  You just admire a guy when you look at his game now, he's more
• 2:45:58
  of a Magic Johnson. I know what he.
• 2:45:59
  Is dude you? What do you think?
• 2:46:00
  I don't know basketball, right? OK, OK.
• 2:46:03
  But when he came into the league, when he came into the
• 2:46:06
  league, he played. He tried to have his game played
• 2:46:09
  like Michael Jordan. Go watch his game his first two
• 2:46:12
  seasons. And he wasn't the rookie of the
• 2:46:14
  year. His first year.
• 2:46:15
  Carmelo Anthony was just so, you know, just so you know, yeah, he
• 2:46:20
  won because he was a he's LeBron.
• 2:46:22
  James the King. Carmelo Carmelo Carmelo had.
• 2:46:26
  Better numbers than him. Carmelo and Carmelo Anthony had
• 2:46:28
  better numbers the. Award.
• 2:46:31
  They gave it because again. Again, that's Carmelo.
• 2:46:34
  After they have a Rick of the Year award, do we or do we not
• 2:46:37
  go look? At Carmelo Anthony's numbers to
• 2:46:38
  LeBron James, I rest my case. Go look.
• 2:46:41
  You want to match it out? Go match it out, Mr. I know it
• 2:46:44
  all. Obviously it wasn't just about
• 2:46:45
  I'm telling you right now. Go look at.
• 2:46:47
  Carmelo Anthony's. Numbers to LeBron James and you
• 2:46:50
  tell me who was better, tell me who was better and LeBron tell
• 2:46:54
  me who was better and tell me is there a Rick?
• 2:46:56
  Of the year award in there. You.
• 2:46:57
  Really think the future commissioner of the LeBron James
• 2:47:00
  would ever pick against? Himself for an award.
• 2:47:02
  Go look at Melo's Got Better hoodies though.
• 2:47:05
  Melo's got better. Numbers.
• 2:47:06
  He's working this season. Better numbers.
• 2:47:09
  This is the first time the hoodie is rookie year.
• 2:47:11
  Fish maybe you would want. Time greats in basketball.
• 2:47:13
  For sure like. This is this was awesome.
• 2:47:17
  I can't wait till we have the next one of these all time
• 2:47:20
  debates, man for all right ladies and gentlemen, let's go
• 2:47:23
  to our sports man. We got speedy. 6 pack and we
• 2:47:25
  have the masters. We're going to cover that and
• 2:47:27
  dial it up. But let's go to our sports
• 2:47:29
  minute please. Thank you the New York Sports
• 2:47:34
  Loud. Mouth Sportsman.
• 2:47:36
  Ads All right, guys, what's up? Aaron Fishman here with your.
• 2:47:40
  Sportsman a couple more. Stories and then the scores.
• 2:47:43
  All time. NHL goal king Alexander Ovechkin
• 2:47:47
  spoke with Capitals radio broadcaster John Walton in a pre
• 2:47:50
  taped interview that aired on Wednesday, saying that he is
• 2:47:53
  going to make a decision over the summer whether or not he's
• 2:47:55
  going to play one more year in the NHL or hang it up.
• 2:47:58
  Ovechkin, who's 40 years old, cited his health as a major
• 2:48:01
  factor impacting whether or not he continues his Hall of Fame
• 2:48:03
  career despite being 40. He has 31 goals this season so
• 2:48:07
  far and reached the incredible mark of 1000 goals.
• 2:48:10
  Including playoffs, he has a record 928 goals and counting.
• 2:48:16
  Ovechkin also holds the record for most power play goals with
• 2:48:19
  331 game-winning goals with 141 and ranks third all time in
• 2:48:24
  career hits, surprisingly with 3871.
• 2:48:28
  This final weekend of play, Ovechkin will face off against
• 2:48:31
  career long foe Sidney Crosby. Not just one more time, two more
• 2:48:35
  times on Saturday before playing them again in a home and home in
• 2:48:38
  the Sunday. If Ovechkin retires from the
• 2:48:40
  NHL, the speculation will likely turn to the KHL where even in
• 2:48:45
  his 40s he would be treated like a cookering hero coming home to
• 2:48:49
  play a little bit more, which could be too good for the Grade
• 2:48:53
  8 to pass up. ESP NS Mark Schlabach reports
• 2:48:57
  from Augusta that golfing legend sat down with reporters ahead of
• 2:49:01
  the Masters, which could spell earlier today.
• 2:49:03
  And an absolute legend had some frank words for one of the all
• 2:49:07
  time greatest golfers who's not attending this this year's
• 2:49:10
  event, Tiger Woods. Woods, as you know, was arrested
• 2:49:13
  and charged with a DUI after rolling his SUV in Florida last
• 2:49:16
  week and decided very logically not to attend this year's
• 2:49:19
  festivities. The same place where his career
• 2:49:22
  started. Meteoric rise way back with his
• 2:49:25
  first green jacket in 1997. Legendary golfer Gary Player was
• 2:49:29
  the one who had spoke up. Do I blame him for taking
• 2:49:32
  medicine? Hell no, Be a sleep deprivation.
• 2:49:35
  Do I blame him for taking something to help him sleep?
• 2:49:37
  No, but I don't think he should drive a car when you're taking
• 2:49:41
  that medicine. It's dangerous when you're
• 2:49:42
  driving a car, same as it's dangerous when you look at your
• 2:49:45
  cell phone in the car. Woods announced on March 31st
• 2:49:48
  that he would be entering an inpatient treatment facility to
• 2:49:51
  rehab from this latest embarrassment, which is clearly
• 2:49:53
  due to a lifetime of bad injuries.
• 2:49:55
  Painkillers and other medications can be incredibly
• 2:49:57
  addictive and even though the prescriptions could be necessary
• 2:50:00
  and vital, they still have serious downsides.
• 2:50:02
  Being stubborn and trying to drive while dealing with this
• 2:50:05
  type of injury is not is just not the answer, especially when
• 2:50:08
  you have virtually infinite money to probably get some self
• 2:50:11
  driving car to do it for you, or at least pay for a driver.
• 2:50:14
  At this point, all we can do is hope Tiger cleans his act up and
• 2:50:17
  maybe we'll get to see a late career throwback to his
• 2:50:20
  greatness that those in my generation not only still
• 2:50:22
  remember, but we'll never forget.

  Maybe you could fart on Qi? Could do that too.
• 2:53:03

• 2:53:19
  I do. I do it everywhere.
• 2:53:20
  I'm very good at it. I, I, I, I.
• 2:53:22
  I'm surprised you're taking that much of A towel.
• 2:53:23
  Could you imagine? Could you imagine?
• 2:53:25
  I could do my ABC's in a fart. I mean that.
• 2:53:27
  Would be that would be insane. I mean, that would be like, I'd
• 2:53:30
  be the best. I'd be the first to do
• 2:53:33
  disgusting. What to be the adjective?
• 2:53:35
  To you what? Listen now ABC's What Goes In?
• 2:53:39
  Must come out what? That goes in must come out.
• 2:53:41
  But I mean. It does.
• 2:53:43
  It comes out, it comes out in in a loud and.
• 2:53:47
  Smaller. Sounds all right.
• 2:53:49
  Speaker Let's go. All right, so we'll start with
• 2:53:50
  the deal that Howie Carpet was talking about the pirates giving
• 2:53:52
  Connor. Griffin the the top prospect in
• 2:53:55
  baseball at the start of the year 9 years $140 million just
• 2:53:58
  five days after making an MLB debut on on Friday last.
• 2:54:02
  Week hit. 950 OPS, 3362421 Homer, 68 steals and 95 RBIs
• 2:54:07
  last year in the minor leagues and got off to a hot start in a
• 2:54:10
  small sample so far with the Pirates.
• 2:54:12
  Are the Pirates finally paying people or are they still the
• 2:54:14
  Pirates? They're still the Pirates and
• 2:54:15
  the Pirates are playing good baseball right now.
• 2:54:17
  I think they're. 7:00 and 5:00 but again, the pirates always
• 2:54:21
  start off strong and then they fall apart and I expect them to
• 2:54:24
  move players at the trade deadline.
• 2:54:25
  This is very pirate like. Am I surprised?
• 2:54:29
  Am I am I going to bet that the pirates are going to spend money
• 2:54:31
  on their players? Not a chance to help, but pull
• 2:54:34
  schemes will be out of here before you know it.
• 2:54:36
  He wants to be a Yankee, but there'll be other teams lining
• 2:54:39
  up for him. Somebody's going to pay him a
• 2:54:40
  probably a billion dollar. I I think pull schemes will be
• 2:54:44
  the first billion dollar player in Major League history.
• 2:54:46
  I believe it. I believe it interesting.
• 2:54:49
  You know, I wanted to to give you.
• 2:54:51
  A cross sport. I know Errol, how much you love
• 2:54:52
  my cross sport comparisons, but I'm going to go out of
• 2:54:55
  out-of-the-box on this one. Remember when Marion Hosa got
• 2:55:00
  this like crazy long contract for a lot of money and then they
• 2:55:03
  changed a lot, right? And you couldn't have contracts
• 2:55:07
  like that anymore? I think just like our guest
• 2:55:10
  Howie Carpen said, Like what? Nobody had a good job.
• 2:55:17
  I was. I was.
• 2:55:20
  I'm not looking. At that page open.
• 2:55:22
  They're trying to pull the. Hosts a move.
• 2:55:23
  From. From 1520 years.
• 2:55:25
  Ago where if you can get this guy on an old CBA where you
• 2:55:30
  can't get a guy this long and and this cheap and buy out his
• 2:55:33
  arbitration years, this is a coup for them.
• 2:55:36
  This is I'm putting you on a leash now so I.
• 2:55:39
  Didn't really think about that till how we brought that up,
• 2:55:41
  yeah. And then officially make her
• 2:55:43
  squirt. Make me jerk, then the devil's.
• 2:55:44
  Trying to duplicate it with Ilya.
• 2:55:46
  Cobalt Chuck giving him a 17 year deal.
• 2:55:48
  Squeeze the cheese. Speedy sleeps with endangered.
• 2:55:52
  Animals. No, I do not.
• 2:55:53
  Sleep with endangered animals. And Nathan likes to smuggle
• 2:55:57
  endangered. Animals.
• 2:55:58
  That's. Why he's hiding?
• 2:55:59
  That's why he's hiding in prison right now.
• 2:56:01
  Blowjob. Job.
• 2:56:02
  Suck. My indoor Oh, there we go.
• 2:56:07
  All right now moving on. I know, fish you.
• 2:56:09
  Want to mention a couple of the the.
• 2:56:10
  IL ones. I got two of them for two young
• 2:56:12
  pitchers, one of which is a Hunter Brown for the Houston
• 2:56:15
  Astros. Out right now with a Grade 2
• 2:56:17
  shoulder strain after a night the Astros lost fromber Valdez
• 2:56:20
  in the offseason. Have not had the same starting
• 2:56:22
  pitching luck and again like how he was saying, battling a good
• 2:56:25
  division with that Seattle Mariners team.
• 2:56:27
  A little bit of a slow start. Karl plays with themselves
• 2:56:29
  pitching in the Texas Rangers should the.
• 2:56:31
  Astros be concerned. No, they shouldn't be concerned.
• 2:56:34
  It's. Early in the.
• 2:56:35
  Season they. Will get healthy.
• 2:56:37
  They've got a great farm system. The Astros will be just fine.
• 2:56:40
  They're a playoff team. They got a great pitching
• 2:56:42
  rotation. I'm, I'm sure Houston is going
• 2:56:46
  to sneak into the play. I think there are, to me in the
• 2:56:49
  American League, I think in their division there could be 3
• 2:56:52
  teams coming out of division and the Rangers, Seattle and them I,
• 2:56:56
  I think that's the best division right now in the American
• 2:56:58
  League. You know.
• 2:56:59
  Q You probably had this in football where they had the
• 2:57:01
  team. Has a choice pay the vet or get
• 2:57:04
  the OR go with the young guy right Like it so happens
• 2:57:07
  athletes and they decided they had.
• 2:57:10
  Two guys to pick from Franber. Valdez, who's had the wins and
• 2:57:18
  this kid who. Had a had a great year last.
• 2:57:20
  Year, you know, but. He's young and pitchers have,
• 2:57:22
  you know, they got to go back off now.
• 2:57:25
  They decided to let the. Vet go.
• 2:57:26
  He signs with Detroit. Gets good money and now they
• 2:57:29
  might be without a one or two now on their pitching step.
• 2:57:32
  That could be real bad. They got the guy in my he looked
• 2:57:35
  good in his last start from Japan, but they might have to go
• 2:57:39
  get a guy. No, my ass.
• 2:57:40
  So kind of sucks for them, but they're cheaters in Houston, so
• 2:57:43
  cares. Yeah, they queue a queue, you
• 2:57:45
  know, like when you when you had that.
• 2:57:47
  In football, like. You've had to have been stories
• 2:57:49
  or something like that. What?
• 2:57:51
  I think it depends on the. Debt like but.
• 2:57:53
  If the vet is good and. Proving and he's willing to kind
• 2:57:56
  of teach and groom the the younger guy.
• 2:57:58
  I think it it makes sense, but eventually you know how teams
• 2:58:02
  are always going to think they're already going to think
• 2:58:04
  young and potential over the veteran paid a form of a old
• 2:58:09
  coach that. Makes it makes sense, you know
• 2:58:11
  they got that. Style to understand how to get
• 2:58:14
  the team to to come together and whatnot.
• 2:58:16
  So this depends on the actual vet, just a case by case
• 2:58:19
  situation versus, you know, individual situation.
• 2:58:22
  But I think in this case, yeah, I would have probably held onto
• 2:58:25
  the vet for at least another year or so and then make a a
• 2:58:28
  move like that. So following up a job, job, job
• 2:58:32
  several job. Jobs here.
• 2:58:34
  We'll go to another more. Serious injury the.
• 2:58:36
  For a season ending injury for the job was very high on
• 2:58:39
  National League rookie of the year runner up and that was Kate
• 2:58:41
  Horton with the Cubs season ending elbow surgery for him UCL
• 2:58:46
  and for a team that already lost another big.
• 2:58:48
  Another good young pitcher, Justin Steele.
• 2:58:50
  Last year to a similar type of elbow injury and also lost.
• 2:58:53
  Matthew Boyd to a biceps. Injury.
• 2:58:55
  So two young pitchers down, a veteran pitcher down for the
• 2:58:57
  Cubs, a team that we all liked the beginning of the year kind
• 2:59:00
  of thought was the number two team behind the Dodgers in the
• 2:59:01
  National League. Now dealing with some pitching
• 2:59:03
  injuries. They're going to have to make
• 2:59:04
  some trades and now they they have to wait to chill the.
• 2:59:06
  Trade deadline, if they can keep stay afloat in in their
• 2:59:10
  division, I think they're going to make at least multiple
• 2:59:13
  trades. They have a great farm system.
• 2:59:15
  The Cubs have one of the top 10 farm systems in baseball right
• 2:59:18
  now. So if they could just stay
• 2:59:20
  afloat, I think the Cubs will be fine.
• 2:59:22
  But it it's definitely worrisome where they are right now.
• 2:59:25
  One of the best young pitchers in baseball.
• 2:59:26
  Everyone was super high and I'm in fantasy.
• 2:59:28
  Drafts this year, Rob Rush Kumba look great too in his first
• 2:59:32
  start. Terrible.
• 2:59:34
  For them, terrible for them, they they need him.
• 2:59:36
  They needed him to be able to be really competitive.
• 2:59:38
  Now probably below you're right. It's it's amazing.
• 2:59:42
  We haven't even gotten a month into the season and big
• 2:59:45
  contenders are down big arms that they really couldn't afford
• 2:59:49
  to lose. All right, let's go to a former
• 2:59:51
  Cub now. And now with the Red.
• 2:59:53
  Sox that's played. Most of his career in the NL,
• 2:59:56
  this is Wilson Contreras, who took shots at the Milwaukee
• 3:00:00
  Brewers. So he's been hit by a pitch by
• 3:00:03
  the 20. 4th time. Against the Brewers in his
• 3:00:06
  career, no other player has been hit more than 14 times by an
• 3:00:09
  individual MLA team. Brandon Woodruff, who was also
• 3:00:12
  the pitcher in that game, has hit him six times in his career.
• 3:00:15
  Stop crying please. How many times have?
• 3:00:18
  We seen this before. Barry Bonds has been thrown at.
• 3:00:21
  There are so many people in the league in the past that have
• 3:00:25
  been thrown at. Stop complaining.
• 3:00:27
  You're going to point your fingers at Milwaukee's trying to
• 3:00:29
  knock you out and throw the ball at you.
• 3:00:31
  Rodger Clemens, I would admit Rodger Clemens went after Mike
• 3:00:34
  Piazza. There's no question.
• 3:00:35
  He tried to throw that bat at him and then he said it was
• 3:00:38
  something. I don't remember what he said.
• 3:00:40
  I thought it was a ball or something.
• 3:00:42
  It's ridiculous. He definitely tried to throw at
• 3:00:45
  Mike Piazza, but this could the Contreras.
• 3:00:48
  That's ridiculous. I, I, I do not believe Milwaukee
• 3:00:50
  went out of the way and said, you know what?
• 3:00:52
  We're going to throw out Contreras.
• 3:00:53
  We're going to keep throwing at Contreras.
• 3:00:54
  It's ridiculous. It is kind of wild that one
• 3:00:57
  pitcher has hit him six times, though.
• 3:00:59
  You know, and he just hit a home run off of them, the last at
• 3:01:04
  bat. I mean, let's face it, some guys
• 3:01:07
  get petty. He was saying no, you know, he
• 3:01:10
  wasn't. But come on now.
• 3:01:12
  Woodruff's a veteran. This fish is not a panty
• 3:01:15
  dropper. You know this.
• 3:01:17
  All right, Speaking of a panty dropper who sits on the.
• 3:01:19
  Sitter, let's go to. Something that Rob Manford might
• 3:01:21
  have said in the Strip. Club and I love.
• 3:01:23
  Lisa Ann and that is he told Dan Patrick he wants.
• 3:01:26
  To get the WBC into. A regular rotation and saying
• 3:01:29
  down the road wants it to happen more than the World Cup in the
• 3:01:31
  Olympics, which are every four years.
• 3:01:33
  That will ruin the WBC. That would absolutely ruin.
• 3:01:36
  The competition, you every three years this happens and and
• 3:01:40
  everybody can't wait for it. the United States, Dominican
• 3:01:44
  Republic, the Puerto Rico, everything.
• 3:01:47
  Now all of a sudden you want to do this every single year?
• 3:01:49
  It's an absolute debacle. And if he does that, it just
• 3:01:52
  shows you why R.E.M. Rob Manfred is one of the worst
• 3:01:54
  commissioners in professional sports.
• 3:01:56
  Yeah, it's, it's I I don't have anything else to add on Droba.
• 3:02:00
  Back in my ass, Droba. That might.
• 3:02:05
  Let Nathan do. All of it.
• 3:02:06
  What is? What is?
• 3:02:06
  Nothing else. Is Nathan have to say about my.
• 3:02:08
  Rear end is burning is that is that Nathan from the from?
• 3:02:11
  Behind the window at the strip. Club with Rob Man Rob.
• 3:02:14
  I like my shrimp cocktail. I like anal.
• 3:02:17
  And then we'll go to the strip club to get Adel.
• 3:02:19
  All right, last one, another thing I was.
• 3:02:20
  Hinting at during the Howie carpet interview.
• 3:02:22
  And that was the ABS challenge. So I wasn't 58.
• 3:02:24
  I was wrong. It was 54%.
• 3:02:26
  But Ken Rosenthal reports there's umpires already not
• 3:02:29
  happy with the standards. They're judged by 54 percent,
• 3:02:32
  59% for pitchers compared to 48% for hitters.
• 3:02:35
  AJ Hinch also says he does not want the human element out
• 3:02:39
  despite already making a couple challenges as well himself.
• 3:02:42
  And then Michael Hill, the VP of a senior field operation
• 3:02:45
  mentioned. So umpire accuracy has gone up
• 3:02:47
  despite all these ABS controversies.
• 3:02:49
  I hate the ABS. I hate it.
• 3:02:51
  It hurts baseball. The fact that they're bringing
• 3:02:53
  in you can challenge it, and I know we just heard Harpin say
• 3:02:57
  that. Ohh, the game went two hours and
• 3:02:59
  20 minutes. It's not good for baseball that
• 3:03:01
  you can challenge a pitch challenge how many times you out
• 3:03:05
  are you allowed to challenge? It just doesn't make any sense.
• 3:03:07
  The Twins already did it nine times in one game.
• 3:03:09
  It's not to me. It's.
• 3:03:11
  Not good for baseball in the playoffs.
• 3:03:13
  I can understand it's an important game.
• 3:03:15
  It it could, it could matter for a championship win or it could
• 3:03:18
  matter for you to move on into the playoffs.
• 3:03:21
  I understand that. But in a regular season game,
• 3:03:24
  this makes no sense. It's not.
• 3:03:26
  It's not good for baseball. I think it's bad.
• 3:03:27
  Errol I love it. Anything that holds the zebras.
• 3:03:31
  Accountable. Make those zebras do a good.
• 3:03:34
  Job. How many times do we?
• 3:03:37
  Stand around being pissed. Off that, the referees, they
• 3:03:39
  blow calls and then it's a slap on the wrist.
• 3:03:43
  Now they're being humiliated. Squeeze the cheese because of
• 3:03:47
  how bad they're missing. Calls and because of that
• 3:03:49
  they're. On their game more than they
• 3:03:51
  used to be. Speedy.
• 3:03:53
  That's it. That's called.
• 3:03:54
  What is? Supposed to happen.
• 3:03:55
  With a rule change. Like this, this is good for
• 3:03:58
  baseball as somebody. Who?
• 3:04:00
  Really. Shrunk.
• 3:04:01
  With officials as a player and a coach if.
• 3:04:04
  I. If you told me I could just go
• 3:04:06
  like this and challenge it, I probably would have led the
• 3:04:08
  league. Speedy sleeps with endangered
• 3:04:10
  animals. And if the smuggles endangered
• 3:04:14
  animals and hides? Them in his circle.
• 3:04:16
  Jerk stashed with all these leashes and he probably circle.
• 3:04:19
  Jerks to them too. Is that it?
• 3:04:20
  That's it, That's it. That speedy 6 pack of the week
• 3:04:23
  it. Sounded like an 8 pack to me.
• 3:04:25
  Day one of the Masters has concluded with two players tied
• 3:04:30
  for the lead at -5 young American golfer Sam Burns and
• 3:04:35
  defending Master Masters champion Rory McIlroy.
• 3:04:39
  Other notable golfers not far behind at a -. 3 are American
• 3:04:44
  golfer Patrick Reed and veteran golfer Jason Day and last year's
• 3:04:50
  runner up Justin Rose. Other well known Americans like
• 3:04:54
  Jordan Spieth, Gary Woodland, Xavier Sheffly and Scotty
• 3:05:00
  Scheffler are at -2 notable golfers that are struggling,
• 3:05:04
  including Bubbas Watson. I can't stand him, Didn't like
• 3:05:07
  him. Jon, ROM and Bryson.
• 3:05:10
  How do you pronounce Dissembo? Dissembo.
• 3:05:12
  All three guys were at risk of not making the cut tomorrow,
• 3:05:17
  which features the top 50 scores from the first day.
• 3:05:22
  McElroy, Scheffler and Rose are the top three betting favorites
• 3:05:28
  after today's results. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I, I
• 3:05:32
  didn't get a chance to watch much of it, but McElroy has
• 3:05:36
  proven himself to be the the champion until the champion gets
• 3:05:40
  knocked off. You would expect McElroy to be
• 3:05:43
  in this all the way to the end. This guy knows, first of all, he
• 3:05:46
  knows the Masters. He knows this course very, very
• 3:05:48
  well. Scheffler, I expect here to be
• 3:05:50
  at the end. Scheffler's the best golfer in
• 3:05:52
  the world. So I, I think and Rose is
• 3:05:55
  unbelievable, too. I think this is going to be a
• 3:05:56
  battle all the way to the end, but don't count out Xander
• 3:06:00
  Scheffley. I I'm telling you right now, I
• 3:06:02
  watch this guy golf at the US Open and Shinnecock, this kid,
• 3:06:07
  at the time when I met him, he was one of the younger American
• 3:06:10
  golfers in the tournament. He's gotten better every single
• 3:06:13
  year. This guy has been amongst the
• 3:06:15
  leading boards in almost every championship game.
• 3:06:18
  So I think this guy is as good as any golfer right now for team
• 3:06:23
  the United States, for team America.
• 3:06:25
  Jordan Spieth, you know what, this guy was up and coming.
• 3:06:28
  This guy was, you know, 3-4 years ago we were talking about
• 3:06:31
  this guy might be the face of American golf.
• 3:06:33
  He really was. He was there and he's falling
• 3:06:36
  off. He has not been the same golfer.
• 3:06:38
  This guy's putting game was one of the best in the world and and
• 3:06:41
  over the last couple of years he's kind of falling off.
• 3:06:44
  But right now he's amongst America's best right now in in
• 3:06:48
  in the masters. I expect him to fight all the
• 3:06:50
  way to the end. I I want to see, I don't want to
• 3:06:53
  see Bubba Watson. So I hope he gets knocked out.
• 3:06:55
  The fact that John ROM is he's at he's in a tailspin and he
• 3:06:59
  might not even make the cut next tomorrow is to me the most you I
• 3:07:04
  I think the most in I wouldn't say impressive, but shocking,
• 3:07:07
  shocking situation right now in the Masters.
• 3:07:10
  Yeah, he's always been steady. He's had it took a while for him
• 3:07:13
  to win I. Think he finally won the Masters
• 3:07:14
  in 2023. He's a great golf.
• 3:07:17
  Yeah, he's been like, he's a consistent top ten guy in a.
• 3:07:19
  Lot of majors, it was always. Just can he get the one?
• 3:07:21
  Can he get over the hump, finally win one, which was the
• 3:07:24
  same case McElroy had last year, last year, which the Masters was
• 3:07:27
  the only one he was around for a while.
• 3:07:28
  That was the only one he hadn't won yet.
• 3:07:29
  And Justin Rose is dealing with that same kind of thing.
• 3:07:31
  He was very close last year, went to the playoff, playoff
• 3:07:34
  with macro. I believe they were both -12
• 3:07:37
  last year until obviously macro. I won the play in.
• 3:07:40
  And the other one that's surprising too that I didn't
• 3:07:42
  didn't bring up was a Swedish golfer in Ludvig Ogvig, another
• 3:07:45
  guy that was an up and coming guy.
• 3:07:46
  What a mouthful. Yes, that's why I didn't give it
• 3:07:48
  to you, because I figured you'd have trouble with that.
• 3:07:50
  One but. He was Ludwig Ogler.
• 3:07:52
  Ludvig Ogvig was an up and coming one from.
• 3:07:55
  Two years ago. That was another one that was a
• 3:07:56
  heavy betting favorite. Could you imagine his wife was
• 3:07:59
  trying to pronounce his name Ludvig?
• 3:08:01
  Lovelock, yes, he's at plus one I believe right now and there's
• 3:08:04
  been a couple other. Veterans that are in that mix
• 3:08:06
  too. Yeah, like you said, shuffly is
• 3:08:07
  very. I want you for breakfast, lunch
• 3:08:09
  and dinner. Since you since I edited that
• 3:08:10
  interview. When you interview at the US
• 3:08:12
  Open when they. Were played at 10:00 in 2018.
• 3:08:14
  I've rooted for him and followed him as well.
• 3:08:16
  Obviously shuffler another one you can't rule out.
• 3:08:18
  Obviously the distractions with the driving incidents got to him
• 3:08:20
  last year, but I was still able to I believe win one of the
• 3:08:23
  other tournaments down the road and Willie win the Masters
• 3:08:26
  again. We'll see, he's always going to
• 3:08:27
  be in the running, but it'll be interesting to see if McElroy
• 3:08:30
  how that pressure will get overcome with it.
• 3:08:32
  He's already good on day one. We'll be able to carry over the
• 3:08:34
  next year because back to back's hard to do.
• 3:08:36
  Xander Sheffley's swing is one of the most.
• 3:08:39
  Beautiful things to watch on a golf course.
• 3:08:42
  It is beautiful and and the guy doesn't he's not a big guy.
• 3:08:46
  He's very small. He when I was standing right
• 3:08:48
  next to him, he's got to be about 5758, but he's got a
• 3:08:51
  tremendous swing. His putting game is great.
• 3:08:54
  His wedge game's even better. I I watching him play like live
• 3:08:58
  right in front of my face and, and getting a a chance to just
• 3:09:01
  interview him. I got a chance to get to know
• 3:09:04
  his personality. One of the more likable American
• 3:09:07
  players right now that's playing playing in this tournament and
• 3:09:10
  also going back to Scheffler. Scheffler is by far the best
• 3:09:14
  golfer in the world. I don't think you can argue
• 3:09:16
  that, but McElroy for some reason in the Masters he plays
• 3:09:20
  at, he always plays at a high level all the way to day four
• 3:09:24
  and I expect him to be amongst the leading board in the top
• 3:09:28
  five, top six, fighting to win his back-to-back Masters
• 3:09:32
  championship. And why couldn't he do it?
• 3:09:34
  McElroy, it took him a little while change, change his swing,
• 3:09:37
  changed his putts and, and he changed all different things
• 3:09:41
  over the last couple of years. It took him a couple of years to
• 3:09:43
  really get to play at a high level.
• 3:09:45
  But now he's in his 30s and he's really developing his skill and
• 3:09:49
  I think he's playing at such a high level right now.
• 3:09:52
  He's playing at the highest level over the last 15 years of
• 3:09:55
  golf since he started. Well, not 15-12 years of golf
• 3:09:58
  since he started and it came into, you know, came into the US
• 3:10:02
  Open. Yeah, because I was going to
• 3:10:03
  mention McElroy and Spieth kind of peaked at the same time.
• 3:10:05
  But Spieth. Got, like you said, they had the
• 3:10:07
  one win and kind of been fluctuated where Mcelroy's kind
• 3:10:09
  of been steady, just didn't win the whole thing, but finally
• 3:10:11
  overcame it last year. I want to, before we move on, I
• 3:10:12
  want to bring up Sam Burns too, the young kid from the United
• 3:10:15
  States too. I believe it was the British
• 3:10:16
  Open last year, the US, the Open Championship.
• 3:10:18
  I should say that he was actually one of the very steady
• 3:10:21
  young competitors. So I wasn't curious on the
• 3:10:23
  adversity of his standpoint. He's 29 years old and you said
• 3:10:26
  an American golfer that's going to try to make a mark like those
• 3:10:29
  younger guys like Spieth did. Surprise so far is John Ron.
• 3:10:32
  Yes, that is. The biggest surprise out of all
• 3:10:35
  the golfers that might not make it?
• 3:10:37
  Bubba Watson. He's an old fart and I can't
• 3:10:39
  stand the guy. What a nasty person to
• 3:10:42
  interview. Really one of the nastiest
• 3:10:44
  people I've met. A lot of athletes.
• 3:10:46
  Bubba Watson is one of the nastiest people I've ever met,
• 3:10:49
  especially if he's had a bad day on the golf course.
• 3:10:52
  You do not want to get close to that man.
• 3:10:54
  You don't want to talk to him. You don't want to speak to him.
• 3:10:56
  The only thing he wants to hang out with his dog when he's
• 3:10:58
  taking a crap on the side roads. I mean, it's too big.
• 3:11:02
  I don't know if you, I don't know if you interviewed Deshambo
• 3:11:04
  at the time, but. Deshambo would get very heated
• 3:11:06
  too. So is it worse?
• 3:11:07
  I think yeah. I'm about to say Biggest
• 3:11:09
  surprise is probably be Deshambo.
• 3:11:11
  The way he's got stuck on that 11 hole and he got stuck in the
• 3:11:13
  bunk of the day. I mean, it was quite a show to
• 3:11:16
  see if you haven't checked it out.
• 3:11:18
  But yeah, bet on Roy. I think I'm putting all my money
• 3:11:21
  with Scheffler. I think Scheffler is going to
• 3:11:23
  figure it out. This.
• 3:11:24
  Guy plays better on the second day and I think Scheffler is
• 3:11:27
  going to get back on that leaderboard.
• 3:11:29
  And again, Xander Scheffley, if you're a betting man, this guy
• 3:11:33
  is, he's played at a very high level all year.
• 3:11:36
  He's been on the top of the leading board and a lot of a lot
• 3:11:39
  of the title, a lot of the tournaments.
• 3:11:41
  And I, I think he's got a chance to win this tournament this
• 3:11:44
  year. So don't be surprised if you
• 3:11:46
  hear Xander Scheffley on the leaderboard in the last day of
• 3:11:50
  golf. That's all.
• 3:11:51
  So who so you picking Are you? You pick a chef, I'm picking.
• 3:11:54
  Roy, what are you picking, Speedy?
• 3:11:56
  I'll go rose on the Redex. We didn't have parlays that
• 3:11:58
  night, so yeah, I'll go Rose on the.
• 3:11:59
  Redemption. He's got rose I got.
• 3:12:02
  Scheffler. And you?
• 3:12:03
  Got McElroy? All right?
• 3:12:05
  Dial it up. We interrupt this regularly
• 3:12:07
  scheduled hot mix to bring you important news.
• 3:12:10
  We got a big. Broadcast.

• 3:12:18
  Right, that sound means it's time.
• 3:12:21
  To dial it up, flicker. Round sports segment.
• 3:12:27
  We've got 5. Stories Errol hasn't heard him
• 3:12:29

• 3:12:31
  a take and then one of us is going to respond to him.
• 3:12:34

• 3:12:38
  As long as I don't scream in my ear, I was good at all.
• 3:12:41
  This. Don't listen so loud then.
• 3:12:44
  Here we go. We're going to start with.
• 3:12:45
  Basketball. And if you didn't see this
• 3:12:48
  story, my goodness. So Doug Christie is the coach of
• 3:12:52
  the Kings, and they were leading the Warriors by one with three
• 3:12:57
  minutes left in the game. Warriors are going for a playoff
• 3:13:00
  seeding, but the Kings are trying to tank.
• 3:13:03
  They're trying to get the best draft pick possible, best
• 3:13:05
  lottery balls possible. Doug Christie calls the team to
• 3:13:10
  intentionally. Foul.
• 3:13:11
  With over 3 minutes to go, while they're in the penalty, putting
• 3:13:16
  them on the line and they foul Seth Curry, the brother of Steph
• 3:13:19
  Curry who's a 80 plus percent foul shooter and of course he
• 3:13:22
  made them and they lose by a couple of points.
• 3:13:25
  Draymond Green after the game was pretty candid about how they
• 3:13:30
  should find the hell out of them and they can't allow this type
• 3:13:33
  of blatant tanking. But today, only a few hours ago,
• 3:13:37
  the NBA said, and I, I can't believe they said this, that it
• 3:13:41
  wasn't tanking, it was just really bad coaching.
• 3:13:47
  Dial it up. Bad coaching.
• 3:13:51
  Adam Silver protecting the players, the coaches, always
• 3:13:56
  trying to find a way to make this even more of a mockery.
• 3:14:00
  Let's be straightforward here. That is absolutely tanking.
• 3:14:04
  There's no question. You would have to be a blind man
• 3:14:07
  to not believe that is tanking. Now, Doug Christie obviously is
• 3:14:12
  not in control of this team. He's probably getting fired at
• 3:14:15
  the end of the year. There's no way he's going to be
• 3:14:17
  the coach next year. They're going to try to bring
• 3:14:19
  somebody in that actually knows what he's doing.
• 3:14:21
  And this team, this roster is going to be completely gone as
• 3:14:23
  well. They're trying to get the
• 3:14:25
  highest and the best draft pick they possibly can can.
• 3:14:28
  That is a fact. And the fact that anybody's
• 3:14:30
  making excuses or Doug Christie or even the NBA is coming out
• 3:14:33
  and trying to protect Sacramento so they don't have to find them,
• 3:14:37
  or I don't know what the hell they're going to do with Doug
• 3:14:39
  Christie because he's going to be gone anyway.
• 3:14:41
  It's a joke. An absolute joke.
• 3:14:45
  Yeah, I'm going to say. That there is a tanking issue
• 3:14:48
  within the thing. But I'm kind of take a different
• 3:14:50
  approach. I think that what the owners and
• 3:14:52
  coaches are doing, because this is a pair driven league, it's
• 3:14:54
  they're figuring out loopholes in which they can participate
• 3:14:59
  and get high lottery picks and get more talent on the squad.
• 3:15:02
  I don't think Sacramento is going anywhere no time soon, but
• 3:15:05
  I just think that the owners and and the coaches are just trying
• 3:15:08
  to get even with the players since this is a pair of
• 3:15:10
  different league. I take Sabonis.
• 3:15:12
  If anybody wants to trace a bonus to me, I'll take.
• 3:15:14
  Him any day. I like him.
• 3:15:16
  I think he's he's The Who The Knicks.
• 3:15:19
  I take the bonus any day. I take him.
• 3:15:21
  Over. Any power forward the Knicks
• 3:15:24
  have right now, This kid is drunk off Speedy.
• 3:15:27
  Really I. Mean Sabonis is.
• 3:15:29
  A double double. He's great.
• 3:15:32
  I don't know why you don't think Sabonis is a great player.
• 3:15:34
  He's hurt right now, he's injured, Most horrific trade
• 3:15:36
  idea, banged up. He's.
• 3:15:38
  Banged up. I don't know what you think is
• 3:15:40
  horrific. I mean this.
• 3:15:41
  Guy. You talk about All Star games,
• 3:15:44
  you're going to, you're going to complain this guy has been
• 3:15:46
  knocked out of an All Star game because he's not a fan favorite.
• 3:15:49
  He's one of the best power, one of the most underrated power
• 3:15:52
  forwards right now in the NBA and doesn't even get any credit
• 3:15:55
  for what he does because he's playing for Sacramento.
• 3:15:58
  Please. Just because he played for
• 3:16:00
  Sacramento, you know? Sacramento is terrible man.
• 3:16:04
  Yes, but it don't mean. He got that do with.
• 3:16:06
  Him getting the accolade. That he deserves.
• 3:16:08
  Now you're right about that. Let's move on to the next story
• 3:16:11
  and JJ. Redick and and Austin Reeves
• 3:16:14
  when they were playing the Mavs, obviously there was a whole
• 3:16:17
  thing. They were they were making fun
• 3:16:18
  of Luca when he got hurt the previous game and Reeves stood
• 3:16:21
  up for him. Then Reeves gets hurt, pulls the
• 3:16:24
  oblique, but when the Mavs training staff again, they're on
• 3:16:28
  the road, comes over to him, This is what happens.
• 3:16:31
  The medical staff performed the MRI as a common professional
• 3:16:35
  courtesy 2 days after he got hurt against the Thunder because
• 3:16:38
  they were going to the Mavs next.
• 3:16:39
  It's just standard procedure in the league.
• 3:16:42
  But Reddick told reporters that they scanned the wrong part of
• 3:16:45
  his body as if it was intentional to screw over the
• 3:16:49
  Lakers and screw over Reeves. The Mavericks three days later
• 3:16:53
  said in a statement. Through whatever company that is
• 3:16:57
  and ESPN denying any mistake. And he's going to be out a
• 3:17:00
  month, month and a half and he's probably going to miss if they
• 3:17:03
  can't get through to through Round 2.
• 3:17:05
  I don't think he comes back. Errol, this was a weird one
• 3:17:10
  stop. Well, it's as weird as why.
• 3:17:13
  JJ Reddick. Has a job still, all right.
• 3:17:15
  JJ Reddick is one of the more underrated head coaches.
• 3:17:19
  I mean, overrated coaches right now in the NBA.
• 3:17:21
  He should not be there. We've gone back and forth about
• 3:17:24
  him and John Shire. I, I know there is a lot of
• 3:17:27
  people that said he's better than John Shire.
• 3:17:29
  I think he's just as bad as John Shire.
• 3:17:31
  The fact that he's going out there after the fact and he's
• 3:17:34
  talking about the wrong body part and the wrong MRI just
• 3:17:38
  makes him look even more Dumber. The organizations are dumb.
• 3:17:41
  Home organization. You bring in JJ Redick for what
• 3:17:43
  reason? Because he's LeBron James's buck
• 3:17:45
  buddy. I honest to God, there's no way
• 3:17:48
  Luka Doncic is going to want this man being the coach next
• 3:17:51
  year. I expect, and I'm, I'm, I'm
• 3:17:53
  making a prediction. If Jason Kidd gets fired by
• 3:17:55
  Dallas in the offseason, he will be the new head coach for the
• 3:17:59
  Los Angeles Lakers. You can book it.
• 3:18:01
  You can send it because he's not as dumb as JJ Redick.
• 3:18:03
  And I know Jason Kidd, no matter how drunk he is, and he gets
• 3:18:07
  drunk and he runs himself into a, you know, trees and all that
• 3:18:10
  other stuff, he's not dumb enough to call out or explain
• 3:18:14
  something that he knows nothing about, including an MRI, which
• 3:18:18
  he, he, I don't even know what he knows.
• 3:18:20
  What a leg bone to a cheekbone. To.
• 3:18:23
  A finger bone. I I don't know.
• 3:18:25
  He's an idiot. Yeah.
• 3:18:26
  And the Lakers, if they do that, too, bring in Jason Kidd.
• 3:18:29
  It makes a. Lot of sense for their small
• 3:18:31
  chance that they think they have to get Giannis too, because
• 3:18:33
  Giannis coach Jason could coach Giannis as well.
• 3:18:35
  But nevertheless, yeah, JJ Redick, you're not a doctor.
• 3:18:38
  You're not a medical expert. You're now you're accusing The
• 3:18:40
  Mavericks. It's not like Dico Harris is a
• 3:18:42
  medical trader. Dico Harrison was a medical
• 3:18:44
  trader. OK, maybe I can understand your
• 3:18:45
  accusation, but he's not They they have team doctors you're
• 3:18:48
  using. Why are you using your own team
• 3:18:49
  doctors too? Like why don't you examine it
• 3:18:51
  with the Lakers team doctors to see what the injury diagnosis
• 3:18:54
  really is of allegedly false report from another team?
• 3:18:58
  And why would you speak speak to the media about it?
• 3:19:02
  When you have no idea what you're talking about, it makes
• 3:19:05
  no sense. Medical professional JJ Reddick
• 3:19:08
  coming from the You go out there and.
• 3:19:09
  You're speaking to the media, you throw yourself onto the bus.
• 3:19:12
  Your. Organization under the bus.
• 3:19:14
  You're a multi billion dollar organization.
• 3:19:16
  You're the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the more known basketball
• 3:19:20
  teams in the whole world, and you're going to go out and throw
• 3:19:23
  your organization or just bought 2, just had the new owners
• 3:19:25
  bought the team for about 10 million.
• 3:19:27
  Dollars. You would think they would have
• 3:19:28
  some medical experts that might know what they're doing.
• 3:19:31
  Hey Era. By the way, JJ already has fifty
• 3:19:33
  wins. For the, for the.
• 3:19:34
  Seasons. Yeah, well, good thing.
• 3:19:36
  Terrific. Jason Kidd would ask him a lot
• 3:19:38
  more. Good fan.
• 3:19:40
  Just terrible coach. Just a.
• 3:19:42
  Terrible coach. Yeah, well, you do have Luka
• 3:19:45
  Dodgek on the team. You do have, you have LeBron
• 3:19:48
  James on a team, you have Reeves.
• 3:19:51
  So now it's just talent. Yeah, yeah, talent.
• 3:19:53
  That's exactly what I'm. Saying talent will lose in five.
• 3:19:55
  They win. You're on LeBron James, dude.
• 3:19:57
  They're not even winning. They're.
• 3:19:58
  Even they're not even getting out of the first round so.
• 3:20:00
  Losing in five games no matter who they play, so it doesn't
• 3:20:02
  matter. Well, if you win 60 games.
• 3:20:05
  Anything more than LeBron. Let the other two guys might not
• 3:20:08
  make it or be at better than 50%.
• 3:20:10
  Let's go to the next story right here, and this is not the one,
• 3:20:14
  but this is a baseball story we have to talk about.
• 3:20:16
  I told the speed of the layoff of it because I wanted to show
• 3:20:19
  the club I saw this big time fight.
• 3:20:23
  In the Angels. Braves matchup, but one of the
• 3:20:27
  most unexpected things ever happened in a fight.
• 3:20:30
  It puts Jeff Van Gundy and Alonzo Mourning to shame.
• 3:20:34
  Let me show it to you right now right here.
• 3:20:37
  Here it is. It's 96 right at the eyes.
• 3:20:40
  He hit a Homer off of him earlier.
• 3:20:43
  It's kind of having some issues. We're throwing.
• 3:20:46
  Neither one of them connected. That was the Homer.
• 3:20:49
  Well, actually there. Was one connection I'm going to
• 3:20:51
  freeze. It when they show it actually, I
• 3:20:53
  don't think they're going to show it in this clip.
• 3:20:55
  Maybe I've downloaded the wrong clip, but what they do, Lopez
• 3:20:58
  has the ball in his hand, Darrell and as as he's coming to
• 3:21:01
  punch, he's coming with the hand with the ball and whacks him in
• 3:21:05
  the head with the ball and he stumbles a little bit Solaire.
• 3:21:08
  But as he stumbles, he regains himself because Solaire is a
• 3:21:11
  beast. Walt Weiss, 62 year old manager
• 3:21:15
  of the Atlanta Braves, former teammate of Solares.
• 3:21:18
  Also important to mention, goes in and double leg takedowns him
• 3:21:24
  like a freaking Taekwondo master that apparently he is and brings
• 3:21:30
  down one of the biggest, toughest guys in the game.
• 3:21:32
  And afterwards Solaire thanked him and said that he was just
• 3:21:36
  looking out for him. Walt Weiss is also the greatest
• 3:21:40
  athlete that came out of my high school suffering high school of
• 3:21:44
  all time shorts. You sure didn't play for the
• 3:21:47
  Giants. No, it's look, they don't have a
• 3:21:51
  lot of great athletes coming out of here.
• 3:21:53
  He's the guy. His name's all over the school
• 3:21:55
  still, 50 years later. Basic, 40 years later, that guy.
• 3:21:58
  I don't think I've seen a coach do something like that against a
• 3:22:01
  guy that strong since that Van Gundy episode.
• 3:22:04
  Can you think of anything similar to that?
• 3:22:06
  Errol The the story is is what Lopez.
• 3:22:10
  Did and I was. I was.
• 3:22:11
  Showing Speedy during our time at Applebee's yesterday and I
• 3:22:15
  was like, Lopez took a bowl and closed handed solar right in the
• 3:22:21
  face. And how the major leagues don't
• 3:22:24
  suspend this guy 10 or 11 games is pathetic.
• 3:22:27
  I mean, you're taking a ball and you're going full, full swing.
• 3:22:32
  If you're throwing at people with with a ball, imagine having
• 3:22:34
  a gripping a ball and hitting somebody on the face with it.
• 3:22:38
  Solar Solaire. That's great.
• 3:22:40
  What wise what he did and that's great taking a triple leg
• 3:22:43
  takedown, whatever the hell he did great.
• 3:22:46
  It's wonderful. An old man taking down Solaire
• 3:22:48
  and he's taking them great. The fact here is is the major
• 3:22:51
  leagues MLB needs to look at this.
• 3:22:53
  Look at the video Lopez try to hurt Solaire.
• 3:22:57
  They have to suspend this guy. They have to suspend this guy so
• 3:23:01
  they have the that's dangerous. Who do you think should have
• 3:23:04
  gotten more? Lopez that is not what happened.
• 3:23:07
  They gave seven games. To.
• 3:23:09
  Solaire and seven games to Lopez, but immediately reduced
• 3:23:13
  it to 5 because starting pitchers, it's just, you know,
• 3:23:16
  they, they, they pitch once every five days.
• 3:23:18
  That was the decision. I tend to agree with you on that
• 3:23:21
  one. I've never seen a baseball used
• 3:23:23
  as a weapon like that. I've seen people throw baseball
• 3:23:25
  at people. I've never seen someone use it
• 3:23:27
  like a brass knuckles is basically what he tried to do
• 3:23:31
  even with a helmet on. Solaire got shook by that, and I
• 3:23:36
  don't know if that's the guy I'm trying to piss off.
• 3:23:38
  I think it's so crazy. It makes him even tougher to me,
• 3:23:41
  the fact that after he got tackled by Walt Weiss, he wasn't
• 3:23:44
  mad about it at all. He shook his hand, he thanked
• 3:23:47
  him and that that's a scary dude.
• 3:23:50
  I'm just saying that's a scary dude.
• 3:23:52
  Lopez I I would be careful, I think.
• 3:23:56
  The rest of the way this. Season Qi was even I mentioned
• 3:23:59
  to get to Errol when I saw it too like.
• 3:24:01
  The only thing I've seen similar to that, maybe not as bad
• 3:24:04
  because the baseball's not as big as a helmet, but it's the
• 3:24:05
  Miles Garrett swinging at Mason Rudolph, right?
• 3:24:08
  Yeah, that was it. That's part of the closest.
• 3:24:11
  Thing you can get to it because that was crazy Garrett didn't
• 3:24:13
  get suspended at all that's crazy.
• 3:24:15
  That was horrible it. Was a.
• 3:24:18
  It's underestimated. Right, Like attacked like you
• 3:24:21
  know you have that in your hand and he never think you're going
• 3:24:23
  to swing that hand and you get hit with that ball.
• 3:24:25
  That's a whole different word. Just like that dude, he got hit
• 3:24:27
  in the head with a. He got hit with it.
• 3:24:30
  I mean, I would be pissed off and and the fact that baseball
• 3:24:33
  didn't drop the hammer on Lopez, Lopez using that as a weapon,
• 3:24:37
  that's pathetic. That's that's a soul.
• 3:24:39
  He should definitely, you know, get charged.
• 3:24:41
  For that, absolutely. Why?
• 3:24:42
  I mean, that'd be crazy, but yeah, he should be.
• 3:24:45
  Has there that ever happened now?
• 3:24:46
  I feel like it might have happened in hockey or something.
• 3:24:48
  Like that where it's just like pure attacking someone.
• 3:24:50
  Wasn't it the guy who hit someone in that Dominic Moore or
• 3:24:55
  his brother or something like that got hit in the back of the
• 3:24:57
  head by was it Bertuzzi? Yeah, one of those guys.
• 3:24:59
  It was Dominic Moore. I forget who hit him.
• 3:25:01
  Worst I've seen was Sue when he. Kicked, what you call it, with
• 3:25:04
  his. Feet.
• 3:25:05
  That's right, Hainesworth. The Hainesworth with another
• 3:25:07
  one. Hainesworth, but yeah, true
• 3:25:10
  that. Was something crazy Let's we're.
• 3:25:12
  Let's stay on that. Right now with this next story.
• 3:25:15
  Because this one is about a temper tantrum that I haven't
• 3:25:19
  seen a professional athlete do in a long time.
• 3:25:21
  We're going to tennis. Former world #1 Dmitri Medvedev,
• 3:25:27
  Right, Dmitri? Oh, Daniel.
• 3:25:28
  Daniel Medvedev. Medvedev.
• 3:25:31
  He suffered one of the most epic.
• 3:25:34
  Meltdowns. I saw tennis match ever.
• 3:25:38
  He lost now. He's.
• 3:25:39
  Ranked he was used to be world #1A few years back.
• 3:25:42
  He's #10 right now he's playing the ranked number 91 player in
• 3:25:45
  the world at some Italian, not a major tournament Monte Carlo
• 3:25:49
  Masters. He fell behind O2 and started
• 3:25:54
  losing his mind. He lost a historic double bagel
• 3:25:58
  6060 swept out of this during the match when he's just knows
• 3:26:05
  it's over for him. He takes his racket and it's a
• 3:26:08
  clay court, which means it's not as hard.
• 3:26:10
  So we had to do it a lot of times.
• 3:26:12
  He destroyed his racket smashing and not one, not 2, not 3456,
• 3:26:17
  but seven times into the court, throw in an absolute temper
• 3:26:20
  tantrum while the crowd cheered him on sarcastically.
• 3:26:26
  My question to you, Errol, is what is the greatest or worst
• 3:26:30
  temper tantrum you've either done yourself or you've seen in
• 3:26:35
  a sporting event, dial it up, temper tantrums I've ever seen?
• 3:26:40
  I guess Mike Tyson fighting off Holyfields here.
• 3:26:44
  I mean, that was probably the craziest thing I've ever seen in
• 3:26:47
  a professional sport. Just think about it and do it
• 3:26:49
  once. He did it twice on two different
• 3:26:52
  ears. I've never seen somebody try to
• 3:26:54
  RIP off somebody's ear with his teeth.
• 3:26:56
  So that would probably be be the biggest and more the probably
• 3:27:00
  the craziest temper tantrum I've ever seen because Holyfield was
• 3:27:03
  kicking the hell out of Mike Tyson.
• 3:27:05
  So what did Mike Tyson do? Well, I got to hurt this guy,
• 3:27:07
  too. I bite his ear off, takes his
• 3:27:09
  ear and has it in his mouth and spits it out.
• 3:27:12
  And then the referee doesn't see it, warns Mike Tyson.
• 3:27:16
  And then the next round he does it again to the other the other
• 3:27:19
  ear. I mean, that was probably the
• 3:27:21
  biggest and the craziest temper tantrum I've ever seen.
• 3:27:23
  Me. Oh yeah, me.
• 3:27:25
  I'm probably say. It's obviously football, but
• 3:27:29
  Bante Davis where the Bills it just just completely left at
• 3:27:34
  halftime versus the charges. Like I've never in my life, like
• 3:27:39
  I've been seen some people mad. We punched lockers, we did all
• 3:27:43
  kinds of stuff. They completely leave at
• 3:27:46
  halftime is probably one of the most insane temperatures I've
• 3:27:50
  ever witnessed in my I've got. What about Antonio Brown?
• 3:27:53
  I was just about to say that would be my second one.
• 3:27:55
  Antonio Brown against the. Jets decides decides decides to
• 3:28:00
  take off his. Jersey and his pants and but.
• 3:28:03
  That was good marketing. He could have bounced back from
• 3:28:05
  that, gave the peace. Sign in the end zone and he.
• 3:28:09
  Walked right off the field so I remember that too.
• 3:28:13
  That was wild. It was perfect.
• 3:28:16
  Time in the market. Well, CTE.
• 3:28:19
  That's why they got worse after that.
• 3:28:21
  CTE. Brain trauma, all right.
• 3:28:24
  Last story of the Night. Boys.
• 3:28:27
  I couldn't believe. This didn't get ruined earlier
• 3:28:29
  when you were talking about chicken fingers, but did you
• 3:28:30
  know that the Yankees have fried chicken ice cream buckets this
• 3:28:36
  year? They look like fried chicken.
• 3:28:40
  You can hold it like a fried chicken drumstick, but it's
• 3:28:43
  chocolate cornflakes and white chocolate.
• 3:28:48
  It went so viral, Errol, that they sold out in the first
• 3:28:52
  inning and they don't have any more.
• 3:28:54
  They need to go and make more. They're going to let everyone
• 3:28:58
  know because this is the craze in the Bronx right now.
• 3:29:02
  So I know you're a picky eater, Errol.
• 3:29:05
  I know this about you. There's no honey mustard for
• 3:29:08
  these chicken, this chicken drumstick, would you later this
• 3:29:13
  year when I'm sure we're going to go to a game come on, come
• 3:29:17
  and get one of these buckets and get.
• 3:29:19
  On on Instagram. Live chow down on some list.

• 3:29:35
  The ice cream I don't like. I love City Fields ice cream.
• 3:29:37
  I can eat buckets and buckets of it.
• 3:29:40
  As a matter of fact I get 2. Like what do they call those
• 3:29:43
  helmet fulls I get? I get 2 of them.
• 3:29:45
  One one in the first 3 innings and then I get another one in
• 3:29:48
  the 6th or 7th inning before everything closes up.
• 3:29:51
  I always do it. I love their ice cream in Yankee
• 3:29:54
  Stadium. The ice cream is it's not Milky,
• 3:29:57
  it's just disgusting. It is like it's I don't know
• 3:30:00

• 3:30:03
  tastes like. Honestly, I'll try it just
• 3:30:06
