With that set, let's get let's get down to business, and we'll lead
4:04
off with this. The viewership for the South Carolina versus Number nine LSU game
4:11
was one point five million one point five five million people, while the viewership
4:16
okay for the Celtics versus Miami Heat was one point three eight million. My
4:21
goodness, an NCAA women's basketball game out drawing an NBA game. I never
4:27
thought I'd ever see the day, George Iiicorn, Am I delusional or what
4:32
knowliar that Scott is happening all around this. In fact, when I wrote
4:36
my year in review story for you and for Candy for the for the website,
4:42
I remember one of the highlights of last year was the explosion that we're
4:46
seeing of women's athletics from Nebraska with the unbelievable crowd for the volleyball and these
4:51
basketball games and women's hockey has just really taken off. I think it's a
4:57
good thing. It is a good thing, but it's not a good sign
5:00
for the NBA, let me tell you. And we know the NBA is
5:03
full of problems regarding load management and uh domestic violence abuse and things like that
5:10
going on and bad behavior, so uh no, I'm not totally shocked.
5:15
I mean, it's been a steady growth. Let's say, you know,
5:19
the w n b A too has been showing decent numbers. But yeah,
5:24
man, especially a Celtics. I mean, I was sure. That one
5:28
did surprise me a little bit, but it doesn't surprise me that women's and
5:31
female sports is coming up like we we anticipated it would be. Let's go
5:36
to the chat room that I have a feeling it's going to be a very
5:39
busy night for sure. All right, Hi everyone, Eileen? Okay?
5:45
And then ken fry women's sports are blowing up. Yeah, those numbers certainly
5:48
are a good indicator. Ken frye happy national women at sports Day. Those
5:53
numbers don't lie, all right, Jacob. I talked to somebody the other
5:59
day talk this about women's sports. I said, I said it on my
6:02
Facebook. Actually, I said, I know Caitlin Clark and I know by
6:06
Angel Reese, and there are gonna be other names. If you think about
6:10
it, that's side just named two. That's two more than I ever would
6:13
have known in my life ever. They're blowing up there, and they're blowing
6:17
that up in college, and they're gonna blow it up in the w NBA.
6:20
They're gonna blow the league up. And that's the big thing. They're
6:24
gonna get their profits sharing the way they want it. It's because of these
6:27
two. And guess what that's gonna be another burden magic for that league.
6:31
That's just gonna be. That's just the way that there is for that it
6:34
is because it's gonna help that league. But the thing about the NBA,
6:38
what's a big problem. I can say this right now when you have Adam
6:41
Silver saying, oh, the old game was so there was not pleasing to
6:46
the eye at all. I love, this is so much better now.
6:50
And it's like and you and then he's gonna go back and he's gonna he's
6:54
gonna get a big contract. You gonna be able to come back in as
6:57
a commissioner. There's something to realize, is w The NBA is going to
7:00
continue to get unpopular just the way it is right now. It's just going
7:05
to continue. I mean, there's a lot of jacking up threes, there's
7:09
not a lot of defense, there's not a lot of spread around. There's
7:13
a ton of sixty point games with no doubt no one is really playing defense.
7:17
Hey, I'll give you this, Scott. You remember the sixty point
7:20
game by Bird? Yeah? How many games? How many the highlights do
7:25
we see of him putting his body into somebody, throwing the ball in or
7:29
getting fouled from the way for far a three way it was an actual defense
7:31
and you're scoring over Yeah. Well back in the day when the India was
7:35
good. Yeah, and I do have to go to the chat room real
7:39
quick, okay, because it's gonna get busy. I have a feeling there
7:42
and you pray there no one wants. Yeah, yes they do, they
7:45
will be well, they will, but they don't. Okay, and he
7:48
goes out. I think basketball overrated and going down hill. All right,
7:51
there you go, keep it up, Candy. You're gonna be really busy
7:54
to night. And we're wais on one fast fingers, Candy as fast as
7:57
I taco had. All right, hey, guys, everyone, all right,
8:01
Jacob, you read them. Hey guys, gayone it never taught to
8:03
Williams. Sisters and women's sports just asking it'll happen. But right now,
8:07
No, the women get bigger, stronger and faster than the old days.
8:13
Of course there are, that's what it is in the last decade. Okay,
8:16
continue your thought, Jacob, Well you can real quickly, just real
8:20
quickly. As I was saying, though, it's like when we saw that
8:22
he got his sixty over a defense, we're not seeing defense and we're seeing
8:28
more points and that that's the part is unfortunate. Hey, go ahead,
8:33
Paul, very true. I think it's we'll start with the NBA first,
8:37
just like everybody touched on load management, to me, is not what it
8:39
used to be. When you're playing sixty five games a year, bare minimum,
8:43
and you consider yourself an MVP product, it's not when we want to
8:46
see his fans the game number one, you know, I look at it
8:48
as a fan going to their first game, harder earned money. Well,
8:52
I want to see this player play ten minutes before the game. They're not
8:54
playing college sports. You look at the names on Jacob. You already mentioned
8:58
Ajoe Reese, you mentioned Caitlin Clark. Of course we're talking even to LSG,
9:01
we're talking to Haley Banlin. With all these deals to these girls they
9:05
are getting, they're bringing the name back to college basketball here. It's something
9:07
I want to see because they play for a reason. They play for of
9:11
course, deals to get to the next level. But it's what we want
9:15
to see as a product of a sports nation there. And I don't disregard
9:18
that being the highest game you know viewed over the NBA game. The Boston
9:22
Miami game was a blowout, but it was a thirty some points plus.
9:24
That's a blowout to me. I'd rather watch two teams compete. And when
9:28
you have you know, coaches like Don Staley, Mulkey, of course,
9:33
all these coaches, they play the game right, they teach the game right.
9:35
They are what the sports is all about. And I want to thank
9:39
all the viewers checking in, Eileen Ken, Dave Eddie, they're all from
9:41
my network checking in, so we're here to support you guys too. Well,
9:45
we appreciate that something else says that load management. That should be a
9:48
seventy game, not sixty five, I really believe. And that's what's wrecked
9:52
in the NBA anyways. And yeah, we're glad that a lot of Paul's
9:56
folks have decided to come on over here and pay us. So there's it
10:00
as well. But where you're going to get to see an awful lot of
10:01
pub before it's all said and done. And I can say that because I'm
10:05
the boss there. So what that said, Hey, Katie, you have
10:09
anything you want to say about this topic here, since we're talking women's sports,
10:13
you're welcome to come on in and you have a few words if you
10:16
want to about it. I think it's awesome, the excitement that everybody has.
10:22
And I think it starts. It starts with like women's gymnastics, Simone
10:26
Viles. Look at what she's done and how you know, and how she's
10:31
brought my mental health and awareness to the forefront, you know, and she
10:37
stands up for the right things. And I just think that her and like
10:41
look at Caitlin Clark. I mean, they're just exploding and they're popular,
10:48
and it's so cool to see that people are actually taking women and women's sports
10:54
seriously because for so long they weren't fair enough glad to get a female side
11:01
of it. Then they'll go very far, Candy, because now we're talking
11:05
about the Milwaukee Bucks. The Milwaukee Bucks are paying three head coaches over the
11:09
next two to three years. I'll tell you a lot of money in beer
11:13
capitol. When you can afford, you can buy a lot of kegs with
11:16
this ton of cabbage. Okay, Mike budenhol Budenholzer sixteen million, Adrian Griffin
11:22
eight million, and Doc River is a marquette guy, is getting another forty
11:26
million. So all right, Candy, this is your town boy. Well,
11:31
I guess the Bucks have a new arena. They can afford to pay
11:33
three coaches, right, let's face it, the Bucks, I'm not quite
11:43
sure why they decided to move on from Budenholzer. He was doing really well.
11:48
Yes, he couldn't get over the hump, and they wanted him to
11:50
win more. And they were in the championship and they got blown out pretty
11:56
badly in the first round by the heat. And I think that's what really
12:01
did it because they kind of figured, oh, we have Giannis, and
12:05
let's face it, they're in a win now mode because you don't know how
12:09
long you're gonna have Giannis, and so that because they're in a win now
12:11
mode, they needed to get more. They needed to get more from their
12:15
head coaches because let's face it, Milwaukee is a small market. They don't
12:20
have a lot of they don't have a lot of the extra cash. So
12:24
they're in a win now mode. Yes, they're playing have three coaches.
12:28
They when they hired Adrian Griffin, they were kind of in flux. They
12:33
didn't know if they were gonna if Giannis was gonna sign a long term extension.
12:37
They didn't know if Chris Middleton would be back. Brook Lopez was being
12:43
don't let should I say courted or Houston was very interested in him. They
12:48
didn't know if he was going to be back, so they kind of took
12:50
their chance on Adrian Griffin. And after the season started and all those dominoes
12:56
fell into place, he wasn't motivating them enough. He wasn't getting them to
13:03
the level that they wanted to, and they had a locker room discussion and
13:09
they had a kind of coming out and all aired everything out and stuff like
13:13
that, and John Horst looked at them and was watching some of the practices
13:20
and just wasn't seeing the motivation them playing hard. One thing we also cannot
13:28
forget is that they had one of the biggest trades. They traded away Drew
13:33
Holliday and got Damian Lillard. But what they didn't realize is how much of
13:39
a drop off that would be with the defense. And that has made and
13:45
played such a big role because Drew Holliday not only did they bring defense,
13:50
he brought an energy to the whole team and motivated the team. And he
13:56
was such a positive outlook, positive person and brought the team together. And
14:01
so I think part of Adrian Griffin's downfall, should I say, was the
14:09
fact that the team wasn't all together. Then they had to learn how to
14:11
be together because here's a new superstar, Damian Lillard comes in and he's got
14:16
to find his role and he's got to connect. And let's face it,
14:20
as basketball players, you're playing as it's not an individual sport. You talked
14:26
about this earlier on Fire at Michigan that these are team sports. Well,
14:30
that means you need to pass the ball around, you need to be playing
14:35
and gelling as a team, and sometimes that takes a little bit of time.
14:39
It's not instantaneously, especially when you have stars of those caliber, and
14:45
it just takes. Let's face it, the Big Three when they took all
14:48
their talents to South Beach, it took them a little bit. They were
14:52
on fire right from the start. So Adrian Griffin wasn't getting it done.
15:00
And Milwaukee said, you know what, we have the team, we're in
15:03
a win now. We have to come up with the coach that's gonna do
15:05
it for us now. And Adrian Griffin hasn't wasn't a proven coach. Now.
15:11
Whether that is good or bad, or whether you agree with their decision
15:16
to switch to a more proven coach, it remains to be seen. At
15:20
the end of the year, what will happen or how they'll do. But
15:24
that's what they felt is that they had to move on from Adrian. He
15:26
wasn't proven, he wasn't getting enough support from the team. I think he
15:31
had lost some of the locker room and so they needed to make a change.
15:35
Now, okay, let's go to the chat room. And I never
15:39
thought i'd see the day comment would like this happened. But but Adie Prainter's
15:43
right. The bus ownership was pulling a Mark Davison thing. Multiple coaches.
15:46
Who was thought that Mark Davis and the Milwaukee Bucks would be in the same
15:50
sentence. Good stuff, though, that was really good. I really like
15:54
that one. Okay, well, yeah, Doc Rivers wanted NBA title with
15:58
Boston. Okay, the players are not paying any attention to Griffin. That's
16:02
why they moved on to Doc Rivers. That's well, you're on a roll
16:04
there. These coats are really un all right, Candy, I'm gonna lose
16:07
my voice. Go ahead and you take it over. Welldrian Griffin was doing
16:10
a great job. Lillard is just a score. It's not normal to fire
16:15
a coach with the rerecord the Bucks had. I understand that, but again,
16:19
they were in a win now mode and they listened to part of the
16:23
locker room and Giannis. And if the players aren't coaching, aren't being coached
16:29
well, and aren't taking advice from the coach, and they're not gelling with
16:33
the coach and not listening to them, then there's something wrong. There's a
16:40
breakdown. And so management had felt they had to do something to change it.
16:45
And it was probably because I don't think they respected him as much because
16:49
he wasn't a proven coach. But that's just my opinion. Well, it's
16:56
your hometown. That's why you're talking about it. Okay, go ahead,
16:59
Paul, Yeah, I think just what Candy said there. When you have
17:03
a coach that goes thirty and thirteen and second place in the NBA record wise,
17:10
it tells you a little to the players speak more than the record does
17:12
itself. Not bonding, of course, thirty and thirteen, that's some teams.
17:15
Hell haven't even won thirty games all season, and they won't win thirty
17:18
games all season. That's a prestigious record there alone at this before they playoff
17:22
record, So we're looking at here. Players speak. When they speak,
17:26
they highly speak for the entire team. When you have Gianna speak for the
17:29
team, your owner is going to listen. Number one, because the odds
17:32
are if he doesn't get his coach and he once he might leave. Of
17:34
course, Number one, you bring in Lillard, it's going to take time.
17:37
Of course, just like Candy mentioned South Beach, I think they had
17:41
a six game losing streak Lebron's first year with Bosh and Wade. Of course,
17:44
down there, it takes time to gel. Losing Drew Holliday was huge.
17:48
What they're giving up on the defense side of the ball. They're not
17:51
scoring enough to accommodate losing Drew Holiday to Boston. Look what he's doing with
17:56
Boston right now. That defense is playing five on five. It's something we
18:00
don't see in the NBA when you look at you know, the Boston going
18:03
from Adoga to Missoula, Missoula in the same situation. If you have the
18:07
voice of the locker room and players build behind you and build into the scheme,
18:11
understand your system, buying to the philosophy, you could be something special.
18:15
I'm not going to rule out the Bucks right now, but I'm just
18:18
not a fan of I'll never call him Doc Rivers. I call him Glenn
18:21
Rivers. Being a Philadelphia fan, I've seen it all the teams that he's
18:23
had in LA. What he's done. One title with Boston, of course,
18:27
with the Big Three Alan, it's gonna be Kevin Garnett, you know
18:32
those guys there and Paul Pierce. But I'm not a fan of Rivers.
18:36
Of course, I don't think he's the man for the job, especially in
18:37
playoff time. I think he loses the locker room during playoff time with the
18:41
rotation scheme that he does. Okay, let me go back to the chat
18:45
room. Okay, Eddie, I'll tell you what take away out take out
18:48
the word maybe then we agree the players are sooft Okay, you know,
18:52
so let's go ahead. And while you too, I sure can't try to
18:56
check said he's the some one of my shows, the Atomic Drop, and
18:59
also he doesn't Mets show La King show. He says, feels like every
19:02
team in the NBA to go some playoffs. If you wanted to advance,
19:04
you need that voice to be heard. True. Okay, let's keep it
19:08
rolling. Everybody's gonna get a taste of the chance with Lady Pritter says overrated
19:11
Rivers. I agree with that. One. Okay, any what else you
19:15
got? Doctors over rated as a coach as he was a player. I
19:18
agree, I mean his coaching records not the greatest. Look at the teams
19:21
he had with the Clippers, correct, I mean, look at the Clippers
19:23
now the Big three out there and now the best record in the NBA with
19:26
the Clippers right now in our role and Dave jailed, you know, with
19:30
the Westbrook trade coming in, so we'll see what the Bucks do. I'm
19:33
not a believer of it yet, Okay, George Nike corn Well, you
19:38
know it's a tough situation. I understand that. I mean, you know,
19:41
the players are running the show. But you guys have all made great
19:47
points. I don't have too much more to add. But the Bucks went
19:51
from the eighth to the sixth ranking now in the ESPN Power NBA rankings.
19:59
And this is what they said that Milwaukee lost its grip on the number two
20:03
seed in the Eastern Conference after going one and four in its first road trip
20:07
since Doc Rivers took over as head coach. I echoed the sentiment. I
20:12
really do, because I mean I am not a huge fan of Doc Rivers.
20:17
I mean, he's made a career out of bouncing from teams to teams.
20:21
I mean, we saw that with guys like Larry Brown, who won
20:23
a championship in Detroit. But Rivers, you know, I know he's preaching
20:29
patients right now. But they got a tough schedule. They got one of
20:33
the toughest schedules. The Bucks have the remainder of the way. Even before
20:37
the All Star break, they got a play listen to this home games I'm
20:41
sorry, games against the Wolves, the Nuggets, and the Heat. So
20:45
they're thirty three and eighteen right now. They're only rated as the eighth best
20:48
team in the NBA. Of course that's subjective, but I think Rivers was
20:52
there, like you guys stated and Candy put it so well. I mean,
20:56
he's there to try to right the ship, try to turn this thing
21:00
around. You guys won the World Championship not too long ago, and you
21:04
know, this is a team that's got a good nucleus. Maybe not everything
21:07
is in proper place right now, but obviously they want to win another title.
21:14
Of course they do. I mean, you know, you want to
21:17
make your mark and get that title, a second title as soon as you
21:19
can. So I see why they did it. But I just don't think
21:23
Doc's the right guy. Well, i'll summarize that on this note. Okay,
21:27
and if anybody else, Paul, you want to add them, that's
21:30
okay. Once upon a time we had the curse of the Bambino, right,
21:33
Okay, we'll just say, keeping it in relative good language, the
21:37
curse of the Botenholezer. Mind yet, Okay, ahead, quickly. It's
21:45
like, no, he's not the greatest coach ever, he's not by any
21:48
stretch imagination. There's a certain level of overrated two. But he's got near
21:52
eleven hundred wins. That is, he's got near eleven hundred wins. That
21:56
is a really good he's almost six hundred and Candy. You were saying about
22:02
winning to win. Now they already got their ring. They can just they
22:06
could have waited out Botenholzer and gotten to the and gotten you know, okay,
22:10
waid out Bootholzer, waited out the first Rounte bank and win waiting one
22:12
or two more if you would just left it alone. But that's fans for
22:17
you, you know, that's fans for you. They ran him out.
22:21
That's an excellent point, Jacob, and I know that you've been passionate about
22:23
your comments relating to fans with if there's ever a fans reverence that's appropriated,
22:29
Jacob, this is definitely it. Did you want to have the final word
22:32
on this one, Paul sure? I want to say something to h Jacob
22:36
there. I agree. I love. One hundred wins is something that a
22:37
resume we look for. But as a fan, I look at championships,
22:42
what have you done this year? Only I don't look at past records because
22:45
we look at docs. There one championship and how many years as he's coached.
22:49
That doesn't prove anything to me where he can get this team over the
22:52
home. I want to revisit this at the end of the season here because
22:56
we look at, you know, the record when they when they fired Griffin
23:00
thirty and thirteen. At this Outstar break, he's already one in three if
23:03
I'm correct, that was one in three, fours, one and four,
23:06
and now one and four. That's not a very good start. This lost
23:08
Middleton for probably two to three games as well, so we'll see how this
23:11
pans out to the end of the season. I like to revisit that because
23:15
that's forty three games that Griffin coached. Very good rating there. I want
23:18
to see what Glenn Rivers' record is go into the second half of the season
23:22
year. Did they make the right move firing the wrong guy hiring the right
23:26
guy? I don't know. I like to revisit at the end of the
23:27
year as well. Well, you know, before you revisit anything at the
23:30
end of the year. Year, Candy's going ahead and read this next one
23:33
here, which I think is really good too. Okay, Well, some
23:37
of your people got some of the grade one liners. Okay, I'm losing
23:40
track of all right, let's go ahead. I trust a dishwasher at the
23:42
Logo Diner and his ranking more than ESPN ranking. Boy that these are good.
23:47
These are comic, all of them. Doctors a supreme talent on every
23:52
Okay, all right, one championship ring, only one ring? There you
23:56
go, hey, any pray there. I challenge you, okay for this.
24:00
This is the first time I even know you. Okay, gmt A
24:03
and he prayed. The next time you come on and remember what it is
24:04
great minds, think alike. Then you're falling into the g m t A.
24:08
And bring it up next Wednesday when I please you on it when you
24:11
come back. Okay, Candy, did you want to say something real quick.
24:15
So my question to the panel here is, since they figured that Adrian
24:21
Griffin wasn't the answer and they were going to fire him, who would you
24:26
have rather seen that you think would do a better job than Doc Rivers?
24:34
Who is out there that you think would do a better job than Doc Rivers?
24:42
Anybody want to answer Adrian Griffin? Give him a chance thirty and thirty.
24:47
Believe it? Believe it? Well, I'll say this, okay,
24:51
Well, if he had already lost the locker room and and Gianna said,
24:56
probably because we've I've heard that. Gianna said, you know, had some
25:02
feelings with him, let's put it that way, some disagreements. They weren't
25:06
liking the schemes he was drawing up. And it wasn't just Giannis. There
25:10
was other players that had gone and told Jim, what do you do?
25:15
What do you do as a as a GM and who do you get?
25:18
Well, I think it's more on the players right now, priming a point
25:21
because if you have Adrian Griffin fired at thirty and thirteen, then you bring
25:25
in Rivers. I don't think it's on Rivers right now. I think it's
25:26
on the players to make that point. Where we fired our coach. Here.
25:30
It's all on us now to make what our record should be, what
25:33
it will be at the end of the season, because if it's not,
25:36
you know, Adrian Griffin is sitting back on the chair collecting its four million
25:38
dollars laughing right now. You know what happened to me? Where was I
25:41
at thirty and thirteen? I want to say that, you know, I
25:45
understand players are divas. I'm sorry to take up the time here, but
25:48
we talk about players being divas? Can we just call Giannis maybe a Lebron
25:51
James two point zero here? I want my coach out of here. I'll
25:53
only play for a certain coach. That's the way. If you're gonna go
25:57
there, you might as to say what magic did? Paul West said,
26:00
and you got pat Riley. And the problem is NBA players have too much
26:03
power to get rid of coaches more than any other league that I've ever seen.
26:07
You don't see that in the NFL. You really can see it,
26:10
if at all, in Major League Baseball and hockey. They don't have teeth
26:14
thought. And I shouldn't be criticizing hockey because the next two subjects will be
26:18
talking about hockey. But and I'm not criticizing hockey. It just doesn't happen
26:22
much in hockey. That happens more in the NBA. So yeah, I
26:26
mean, what about what it would happened many years ago when pat Riley took
26:29
over Paul West dead And you guys have already made a good example. NBA
26:33
players have too much power. Maybe that's why their league is where it's at.
26:36
Okay, remember a new Remember what the Nets? Okay, how now
26:40
they didn't need a coach out there? We brought in what Steve Nash and
26:44
he got run out of there and didn't need a coach out there? How
26:45
did that all work out? Didn't work out well? And now what do
26:48
you have in Brooklyn beside Bagels, the Nets and Ben Simmons. And we'll
26:53
leave that for another day. So fitch out Bill Jones, Casey Jones' job,
27:04
Isaiah, don't forget Isaiah getting rid of Scottie Robertson. I know we
27:11
can drag this thing on all day long. So I'm with you. There's
27:14
a lot, and it all happens all in the NBA. You guys are
27:17
further documenting my point. It's happening so much in the NBA I agree,
27:22
isn't it. Paul? What else were you going to add to this?
27:26
No, I was just gonna say, look at the coach Spolster down in
27:27
Miami, how many great players he's had in the past. Riley has stuck
27:30
with that that system because they buy into the system. It's not a coach
27:34
buying into the player system. It's players buying into the coaching system. That's
27:38
why they're arguably top six every year, no matter who they have on the
27:42
roster. You know, they just got in Cherry Roseier and give them time,
27:45
they could be a top six team to make it in the playoffs right
27:48
now too. I think coaching is the vital system here because you have to
27:51
buy into the coaching system, not the coach buying into the player system.
27:55
Well, and we'll leave it on this note. Okay. The last thing
27:56
I want to say is Lebron wanted spots around in there, and Riley says
28:00
he ain't going. You're out of here. The rest is history. Okay,
28:04
So we'll go to my favorite sport, hockey where this doesn't happen,
28:10
but at least we can talk about it in a very interesting manner. Okay,
28:14
And Vancouver Canucks signed jim Rutherford to a multi year contract extension. Jimmy
28:18
has won titles in Carolina and Pittsburgh and he's working his magic with the Canucks.
28:22
Can there be a title in Vancouver? Unquestionably one of the most beautiful
28:27
cities in the world. All you got to do is go to Stanley Park.
28:30
Oh, Vancouver is great and Jim Ruther word might be the guy that
28:34
does it. Okay, you know what, George Iikornor's mo hockey. Then
28:38
a lot of other people outside of myself here, So what do you think
28:42
about Jimmy? Oh, I tell you what, Scott, this is an
28:45
interesting tale of the West. Okay, you got Tedny Holland and Edmond Ted
28:49
and the Ardlers have been riding high as we know. Just last night they
28:53
suffered a defeat after that long winning streak. And now you've got Vancouver.
28:59
Jimmy r Listen, those two guys have been great executives over the years.
29:03
Both of them have ties to Detroit. Of course, they both played in
29:07
Detroit. Jimmy Rutherford, I've always admired it. You know that he's done
29:11
a great job wherever he's been. I feel some of his stints maybe not
29:15
as long as they he would have liked. But I'm never gonna question Jimmy
29:19
Rutherford at all. Thank you, Eddie. Eddie says Riley and Spolstra is
29:23
one of the best partnerships in sports. Thank you, Eddie. Getting back
29:27
to hockey though, yeah, no, I tell you what's Scott, Vancouver
29:30
and Edmonton are going to fight it out. They're going to duke it out.
29:33
Let's not forget our friends in Vegas, of course, the defending Cup
29:37
champions. But yeah, Rutherford's a good man. He's a good man.
29:40
He's knowledgeable, he knows a lot about management and building teams. So watch
29:47
out. That's all I can say is between Rutherford and Kenny Holland and Edmonton.
29:52
Yeah, we'll turn it over to Paul the name of Rutherford. I
29:56
mean, I have Pittsburgh paying with tickets. I'm not the biggest hockey fan
29:59
in the world. But I actually called a couple of my friends since those
30:02
are the topics, and they said, Rutherford, Wow, legend two championships,
30:06
Stanley Cup is Burt Penguins. They said, wow, I'll tell you
30:07
what it's called hitting a lottery. Well, Vancouver has hit the lottery with
30:11
this guy here. He's proven he spent three three Stanley Cups that he's had,
30:15
so Vancouver is on the ups here. I think it's something that Vancouver
30:21
does. My words hit the lottery. Honestly, Once upon a time,
30:23
Jimmy Ruttherferd did play goaltender for the Detroit Red Wings. And I used to
30:26
like Jimmy and I know him well. He used to be on sports song
30:30
w x y Z with George and I, so they know him real well.
30:33
All right, back to the chat room, and you know what,
30:36
guess what we're gonna break in mister Spencer to read some of these things.
30:37
Go ahead, mister s Anthony be Axci checking and he says a Canadian Stanley
30:41
Cup the most elusive thing in professional sports. I'd love to see it.
30:45
Eddie also says. Eddie also says, don't sleep on Vegas a great defending
30:48
chams. You can't, you know, knock them out. That his beat
30:52
Oilers last night at what how many games did they winning a row? They
30:55
beat them last night. So yeah, don't sleep on the defending champs.
30:59
I mean they are on the pedestal for a reason. Correct, Okay,
31:03
Jacob, think about this for a second. How crazy Vancouver's doing is why
31:07
you keep Brutherford around and why you do the extension. They thirty four and
31:12
eleven and by five. That's seventy three points, number one in the whole
31:18
of the NHL sixteen wins in a row by Edmonton. They couldn't catch up.
31:23
Think about that for a second and bringing up about the Canadian Stanley Cup
31:27
five and a six right now, Five of the six original six right now
31:33
are around. That's our round in the standing. So we might see something.
31:38
We might see one of the best playoffs this side of the world for
31:41
ages that we've seen for agents. We might see a real competitive Stanley Cup
31:45
finals. Okay, I'm going back to the chat room. I lose my
31:51
voice. I won't lose it on this show if the chat room is doing
31:52
it for me and they're saving me from losing my voice because they get to
31:56
go ahead and see some more great opinions. Okay, go ahead, and
32:00
Jacob, you can read this one. Don't forget about the East with Boston,
32:02
Florida and the Rangers. They're playing some good hockey right now again,
32:06
Boston in the final six six, keep going. Vancouver's this year's Bruins.
32:12
Yeah, I wouldn't want to wish that on them. Yeah, but but
32:16
you were saying that this year's Bruins. But I don't, I can't.
32:20
I don't seem going out early. That's my point. Did Did anybody think
32:24
Boston was going to go out that early? I don't. I don't ever
32:30
say a bit of regular seasons as based off of that, because you're a
32:35
target at that point. And Florida Panthers turned a lot of heads last year
32:42
and all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals. The only thing I'm really
32:45
going to add to it is Jimmy Ruthers a genius period. I hope my
32:50
Kings can turn it around. Mm hmm. Right, Well, we'll see
32:55
they made a coaching change. We'll see where it is out. All right.
32:59
Well, you know what, we'll what the frozen painn Chicago Blackhawks coast
33:01
to twenty twenty five Winter Classic versus Saint Louis have losed at Wrigley Field.
33:07
All right, I'll tell you what. I'm gonna start off with Paul this
33:09
time. What do you think about Winter Classic back at Wrigley Field? This
33:14
is something as I'm not the biggest hockey fan, but this is something I
33:15
really want to see. I mean, I've always wanted to go to Winter
33:19
Classic. Everybody's telling me that this could be the best one in a long
33:22
time. I think last year was the most watched game all year between with
33:25
the Kraken and the Vegas Knights. I believe so. As really a non
33:31
I don't want to say a non hockey fan, a person that's starting to
33:34
get into it more and more. I don't know why I'm saying that,
33:37
because I lived near Pittsburgh. I have to love hockey up here. You
33:38
know, if you don't love hockey, your snowploid with ice balls basically up
33:43
here. But I think it's a great thing for the city. Of course,
33:45
I can't wait to see it. How many times has the black Hawks
33:50
been in I think they've been what two or two times already, that's correct.
33:52
No, No, they've been in like four times. I think the
33:54
top they're one of the top that's been in most Okay, okay, yeah,
34:00
yeah, I just think it's great thing for the sport here. I
34:01
can't wait to actually view it. Yeah there you go. All right,
34:06
go ahead read this one too. Lean checking in. Nice to see Jonathan
34:08
Quick rebound in New York even as a backup goalie. There you go,
34:14
So all right, well anything else, I mean, really it fields and
34:16
I kind of play all right, George, you're up. Yeah, I
34:22
agree, Scott. And you know the thing is is that so you got
34:28
to go back to other stadiums twice. Okay, they've been the Fenway Park
34:30
twice, so I don't have a problem with that at all. But what
34:34
I do have a problem with is don't forget about Detroit. Okay. Now,
34:37
granted, you got the largest crowd ever at U of M Stadium,
34:42
and then you held some of the preliminary action at Comerica Park. But I
34:45
really think they should try to come back to Detroit and then play the whole
34:49
thing at Comerica Park this time instead of Ann Arbor. But again, this
34:52
is just me talking mostly as a Detroiter and as a fan of the Red
34:57
Wings. But no, I've always admired this game. I think it's a
35:00
showcase event. I'm glad the Lee continues the tradition and uh and and certainly
35:05
Wrigley Field has the history and you're damn right they should host it again.
35:09
So I'm all in favor of that. But uh, let's keep the Comerica
35:14
Park to NHL on your radar. Thank you, Caro will turn over to
35:17
Jacob. As a Cubs fan, I am got as a blue span.
35:22
That's been said for my hockey. It's like someone that someone who loves the
35:27
Blues as much as I do, I might have to go to Wrigley for
35:30
the second time. Interesting, yes, very very interesting. Well, you
35:37
know what, wriggly Field iconic venue? Why not? I mean, what
35:43
are you gonna do? Hold it over at the new Comisky Park? I
35:45
don't think so. You think they would hold a Winter Classic on the south
35:50
side or the north side. I've always wondered they have two venues there,
35:53
go to the south side. What's that They're not going to the south side?
35:58
Oh, I know, I'm kidding. Yeah, it's a backhanded Joe.
36:02
I mean, Wrigley Field is just Wrigley Field. I mean it's been
36:05
Wrigley Field. The old Comiski Park got torn down and I had the second
36:09
one. They thinking about wanting to build a third part. Now what I've
36:13
heard, there's stadium infus out in Chicago for the White Sox. You yet
36:16
again, when they threatened to move to go to Tampa Bay, O,
36:20
we wonder how that would have worked out. Oh my goodness, So yeah,
36:23
I know, you don't hold anywhere. Also, go to Wrigley Field,
36:25
and I'm glad that the NHL has done a really good job buying a
36:30
niche money maker with not only the Winter Classic but the Stadium Series. I
36:34
taken the game outdoors from its original state. And as a kid, I
36:39
remember many years ago, growing up as a kid, how much I love
36:42
to play outdoors in Southfield, Michigan. In fact, I'll tell you a
36:45
funny story about it. In my subdivision, we were the only ones that
36:50
had a wooden garage. Otherwise everyone else made them steal, so they came
36:52
over our place. It didn't matter that we had tennis ball marks on ours.
36:57
The other garages would have had tennis dense and you can imagine that ball
37:01
hitting a lot more than it would have been a wooden garage. Ah my,
37:07
folks, God love them both, but you know, nothing like that
37:09
old wooden garage. A little water is a whole lot less to clean a
37:15
new garage. That's what we attracted the best hockey players in the sun because
37:20
nobody wanted to damage the garage. You get Mom and Daddy's doghouse here.
37:23
Yeah, while we're gonna go from the cold, cold, cold part of
37:30
Chicago to Brazil. Philadelphia Eagles are going to host a Brazil game on Friday
37:35
of opening weekend. All right, mister Dallas fan. Well, I'm kind
37:43
of hit between this because as a fans point of view, I'm highly upset
37:46
at this. Why are we going to South Polow to play a game all
37:50
the way down there? It's a home game for the Philadelphia Eagles. You're
37:53
losing a home game number one, And to me, I don't believe that
37:58
they should go over there because I understand we want to take the game to
38:01
another level on different you know, scenarios of different locations throughout the world.
38:07
But I look at us the fans point of view, I don't like this
38:09
because if I'm not a feg I'm glad they're over that. I could care
38:13
less. But as a fan, if I'm a fillidelph Ego fan, I
38:15
don't want to see this because I want to see that that home game.
38:19
I lose a home game and nine times I'm pinning people they can't afford this
38:23
a regular season game, Let alone to go all the way down there and
38:25
watch the team I don't agree with that. I don't like it. You
38:29
know, I never won this Another reason why I hope the Eagles lose anyway,
38:31
very simple, I can pry before you go to work. If you're
38:35
still on please subscribe to the south Floord distribute and YouTube channel, and if
38:38
you're on Amazon and Candle, Lessons from the Microphone would be a great book
38:44
for you to check out. We talk about old school media versus new school
38:45
media, but your contributions tonight have been nothing short of outstanding. Ken Hopeful
38:51
we'll see around a lot more often, so once again, subscribe to selford
38:53
Tribute YouTube channel and check out my book Lesson to the Microphone on Amazon and
38:58
Kendle. All right, so, yeah, you know you're right, Philadelphia's
39:02
losing a home game. But that's all part of this whole thing. You
39:06
know, they all have other things. But you know what, Brazil isn't
39:09
the worst place in the world. Hey, if it were up to me
39:12
an hours going to Brazil, I'd go there on a business trip. Take
39:15
part of my why we can go down to Rio and go to the beaches.
39:19
I hear they're really nice and the scenery is really good. All right,
39:25
George yeah, I'm sorry, Paul, but this is the wave of
39:30
the future, my friend. As you know, great Britain, Germany and
39:35
now Brazil and let's not forget Mexico of course, so the game is international.
39:40
Now, let's face it, the love of football is America's past time.
39:45
It has official Lisa passed baseball. So I mean, I could see
39:51
both sides of this, but like Scott said, it's all part of the
39:53
rotation. Now. The Lions, I know, have been wondering, oh,
39:59
when are we gonna we have to go there again? Well, come
40:00
on, just suck it up, and everybody's going to lose a home game.
40:04
We know that's happening, whether it's right or wrong. I mean,
40:07
it does have to get through the players committe, association and ownership. So
40:13
it's not just the commissioner saying we are going to do this. No,
40:16
he's got to go through all the proper channels. And of course there's an
40:20
NFL international kind of component to this. So I think it's great, and
40:24
I think Brazil is definitely a country that deserves to see NFL football at least
40:29
for one one occasion. Well, what it's intriguing about the whole idea you
40:34
have the Thursday night game being a nationally televised game for the opener. Now
40:37
it's almost like you have a co opener on a Friday night. So I
40:42
think that again we're talking about some real money ratings wise. Again, we
40:45
just saw the NFL put a playoff game on Peacock because they were looking to
40:51
make one another one hundred and ten million dollars to go along with their billions
40:54
of dollars. Let's just sneak another primetime game and on Friday night. Okay,
41:00
In Brazil, there's a reason why they're the best sport on the planet.
41:06
I mean when it comes to making money. Come on, I mean
41:08
this. These are the business decisions that are just business decisions that are brilliant.
41:14
Now we've got a Friday night opener for a team in Brazil, really
41:21
Brazil. Okay, I can't tell you how many Brazilians live in Deerfield Beach,
41:25
Florida. In fact, they if you go to East Deerfield Beach and
41:30
find a bunch of them out there, you got a lot of them,
41:31
just like in the metro Detroit area. And I'm only talking about you know,
41:36
the types of people you have. I know in Metro Detroit. In
41:38
the Dearborn area you have a mid Eastern population, right George putting him out
41:44
there, and Dearborn you got a big Brazilian population here in South Florida,
41:50
and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Miami Dolphins play there eventually down there.
41:53
But you think about a Friday night game the first week in Brazil in
41:58
prime time. That's a lot of money and another territory, even many,
42:04
many years ago. Okay, when the United States were the original colonies,
42:07
you couldn't get enough colties faster than they're filing up countries here. Seriously,
42:14
you know, I would have picking back what George said if I can,
42:15
real quick, and it is. It is definitely the way of the future
42:17
here. I mean, we already have Monday night football, we have Thursday
42:21
night football, Sunday of course, you know the AFC playoff, you know
42:23
vice versa on Saturday and Sunday when the playoffs come. But what are we
42:27
looking to now? This is this really kicks off and the viewership overseas with
42:30
the brazil looking at this, who knows what this is going to do?
42:32
This is going to open up so many more games over there. It's going
42:37
to be one hundred and ten million dollars every week. We're going to have
42:38
Friday Night Football's where we're gonna have. That's what's gonna come down the way
42:42
of the future. Oh you know what, Paul, I couldn't agree with
42:44
you more many many years ago, high schools on Friday Night, all of
42:47
a sudden, the NCDN, well, they got involved in Now the NFL's
42:51
guy. Then. Now I'll even take your point a step further. Paul,
42:53
you're ready. Okay, the NBA thought they owned Christmas Day. If
42:57
you looked at the recent numbers about how the fell blew the NBA away and
43:00
they're out of their own game on the MVY on Christmas. Oh, this
43:05
is a somemble. You won't worry well enough content to feed us ten million
43:07
lifetimes if when the time comes, I'm not around anymore, I can tell
43:12
you right now I have a good succession plan. Okay, I got George
43:15
I Cornill as he goes before me, and we'll somewhere along the lines.
43:17
Put you, Paul on the road, patient, and then we'll be at
43:21
all the other partners I have associated with this big umpire of a network that
43:24
we're building, and I know that Jacob Christner has been waiting patient to talk
43:29
about this, and no, we didn't forget about you on this one,
43:31
Jacobs, go ahead. You know. The big thing about is this has
43:35
the ability to be an I mean internationally, this is the way in the
43:38
future. Forget about all that. But this has the ability twofold to be
43:43
an absolute disaster because number one, you really want to put a voogouzela in
43:49
the ear of an Eagles fan where they have a chance to stick it where
43:52
you know God does not shine. He really want to do that thing,
43:57
and they will bring those boo zelas there those millions. Well, that has
44:00
the ability. But here's another thing. It's a rainforest. It will be
44:06
humid, and the time that it's gonna be on is gonna be rough.
44:09
That is going to be a very tough game on these players. It's gonna
44:14
be humid as all get out. One time is a cool thing. Let's
44:19
just hope this ain't regular. Well, I'll want to just hope the games
44:22
at night. Yeah, I remember, we have even gone out there and
44:28
figured out when they're gonna play the game. But I would assume if poler
44:30
Heads prevail Okay, then they'll do it. Now, let's go back to
44:35
the chat room. Okay, let's go with Dave your mail, all right.
44:38
The meaning bye week is one on one up there. Okay, let's
44:42
keep it going. I know we're moving fast. Okay. The meaning bye
44:45
week is there versus sports Brazil. Yeah, that's for sure. I got
44:47
a brazilion that lives right next to me and not NFL football. Well,
44:51
okay, but the NFL has been playing monopoly everywhere else. Why not playing
44:54
in Brazil like they're playing everywhere else anyhow? But yeah, I can appreciate
44:58
that. What is the ticket ratio going to be? I mean Brazilians?
45:02
Of course they're going to give their fans their their opportunity. First, how's
45:06
that gonna work out? Because Jacob, you brought a great point there.
45:08
Those fans soccer, I'm talking soccer here, not football versus American football.
45:15
Those those fans get rowdy down there. And you put Philadelphia Eagles fans with
45:17
these fans in a rainforest, one hundred and twenty degree rainforest. This this
45:22
might not pan out very well. And that's coming from a Cowboys fan who
45:24
has been to the Vet the Lake many times. Well, remember when they
45:29
played games in Mexaco. They've had problems without the tude issues too. Some
45:32
of these foreign games are playing all well, it doesn't mean that they don't
45:35
come with problems, but they're gonna find out. Like I guess, you
45:37
could say, the NFL is taking on a Brett Barn mentality. They're a
45:40
dun slinger. They're gonna put them wherever they got to know. What's that.
45:46
I thought they're gonna steal money. No, well they're stealing it anyway,
45:50
But that's a side the point. Are taking on a gunslinger mentality.
45:52
Hang on, okay, you know, if it don't work here, we
45:55
tried. You know, hey, remember once upon time we had a Super
45:59
Bowl in jackson I covered the darn thing and I slept in my vehicle for
46:01
a few days because there weren't enough cruise ships in a whole thousand in that
46:05
room. And say to say Jacksonville didn't get another Super Bowl, Tampa on
46:07
Miami or Getta. And that's that. And that's a great segue. Everybody's
46:13
got their two cents in because that's a great segue to the last one of
46:15
the show and the super Bowl predictions and the thoughts. So I'm sure the
46:21
chat room will be buzzing about this one, but we're gonna let Paul take
46:23
the lead on this. Well. From my opinion, I'm glad the top
46:28
two teams are in there. You know, Mike Cowboys got out the first
46:30
round. I'm glad the best two teams are in there right now. I'm
46:35
my prediction. Of course, I'll get to score a second. I'm leaving
46:37
for the Niners here. But when you have a player like Patrick Mahomes and
46:40
identity that's bought in from the Andy Reid system here, I cannot go against
46:45
them. But the Niners defense on both sides of the ball offensively with Party,
46:49
if he has to me, if he holds the ball, he controls
46:52
the ball, doesn't turn the ball over. I think this could be a
46:53
Chiefs win. But I think the San Francisco defense with Warner Green ball and
46:58
the backup, I think they can get to Party make him uncomfortable. So
47:01
I'm gonna go Chiefs here. I'm gonna think it's kind of close. I'm
47:04
gonna go twenty nine to twenty six, not forty nine. Okay, David
47:08
Yarnell, I want to thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the show,
47:12
have a great night. Look forward to see you next week when Paul makes
47:15
his second appearance on here. Don't worry whether he's on the Sports or Change
47:19
or other places, and we'll be talking about other places I can put him.
47:22
He's at least he's scheduled for these two Wednesdays, so we're glad to
47:25
have all the people on here as well. So Casey was better play at
47:29
the best game of the year. Okay, Well, let's good he's able
47:31
to get that in before he bolts on us. All right, George,
47:35
go ahead. Well I'm not gonna go against Kansas City. I mean,
47:37
come on, They've won on the road in the playoffs so far people thought
47:43
they might get eliminated. They're strong offense and defensively. And Party is a
47:51
rookie obviously in this situation. As far as being in the Super Bowl and
47:54
mahomes as valuable experience as we know, I'm going to have to go with
48:00
uh. With Kansas City and plus the folks in Detroit. Nobody really wants
48:04
to see the forty nine ers win because they knocked off the beloved Lions in
48:07
town. But that being said, Kansas City has a lot of experience.
48:10
I'm gonna go Kansas City twenty seven and uh twenty for our friends in San
48:19
Francisco. Okay, I'll go. Well's sorry, I forgot Jacob. No,
48:22
I didn't just messle with the guy. I do that want to show
48:27
anyway, He's go ahead. I'm going to I'm going to say twenty seven
48:30
to twenty four Niners, and it's gonna I'm gonna make this prediction. It's
48:35
gonna be a with about a minute and a half left. It's gonna be
48:38
a nice drive by party. It's gonna be a three pointer that you know,
48:43
I feel good to take that. The Mahobe is gonna drive it down,
48:45
get to the blue, get to the red zone, and he's gonna
48:49
get picked because of the Niners. I'm gonna make that prediction. And I'm
48:52
gonna it's like because no one's gonna see it coming. And I'm gonna say
48:55
because the Niners have that kind of defense that they can do, that it's
48:59
gonna be really close to be I because that's what Mahomes does and he's amazing.
49:02
But I see a kind of an ending, kind of like Russ again,
49:06
you know, kind of like the whole rust situation against the Patriots.
49:10
You know what, I want to bring Candy Ambling back in. All right,
49:13
Canny, won't you give me a prediction on its game? Okay,
49:19
Paul, I'm gonna disagree with you, because I honestly don't think these are
49:22
the two best teams in the league. They are the teams that are in
49:28
there because they found a way to win, or the teams that they played
49:31
against found a way to lose, because I'm not convinced that either of these
49:37
teams won all of their games to get there, as opposed to some of
49:40
their opponents lost it. I think there were times that Green Bay could have
49:45
beaten San Francisco, and I think there was definitely times that the Lions could
49:50
have beat San Francisco. Yes, San Francisco held on Kansas City has shown
49:57
that they have they are were beatable this like in times in the years past,
50:02
I thought that they were really lights out, that they were really good,
50:06
they were on top of their game. But this year they really I
50:09
thought, had a step back. And I think both teams in this for
50:14
one Super Bowl, both teams that are in there are definitely beatable. I
50:21
thought the interesting fact that I listened to this morning is they were saying,
50:24
how lucky is San Francisco to be paying their quarterback? What it took Patrick
50:31
Mahomes sixteen minutes in the first game to earn all all of brock Perty's season
50:38
long salary. Sixteen minutes in the first game, and Patrick Mahomes had already
50:45
made more money than brock Purty made all year. Okay, Cannie, make
50:49
your prediction. Okay, I'm getting there. I'm going to say San Francisco
50:55
with a tougher D twenty one to say, wow, I like that.
51:01
That was actually so many years ago of a Dallas Cowboys Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl
51:07
many years ago. I'm gonna go with the forty nine Ers who win thirty
51:09
three twenty seven. The reason why I'm going to nine Ers were out.
51:12
Christian McCaffery is the key had a stat last night where Ed McCaffrey and Mike
51:17
mc shanahan won a championship together. I could see Kyle and Christian pulling the
51:22
same trick on Sunday. So thirty three twenty seven, what a show we've
51:25
really had tonight. I love the activity, the energy. Okay, any
51:29
pray their Baltimore is a fraud because of their running back goop takes snaps.
51:35
Guys, that's trip. You're a good idy. I like that. I
51:37
had to make sure that one got up here so the whole public can see
51:39
when they're looking on the YouTube channel. So for a lot of you folks
51:44
that are on Paul's network, if you would entirely subscribe to our YouTube channel,
51:47
that'd be great, because, like I said, Paul going away,
51:51
that's for sure, his first act has been an unbelievable one. And just
51:57
to let everybody know, Candy's put the book up there again, and why
52:00
are we putting it up there? Want you to read it, want you
52:01
