Speaker 1: Simms will not pitch in the tournament. He says Simms
2:17
Speaker 1: is doing well. It's expecting to throw bullpins on Friday
2:21
Speaker 1: and Saturday. He said he would pitch again this season,
2:27
Speaker 1: meaning in the regionals, but I would say unless he
2:31
Speaker 1: just feels great, I would say we're gonna lean way
2:34
Speaker 1: way heavy toward We're just going to keep him for
2:37
Speaker 1: the regional as well. They should. The Houston Astros lost
2:44
Speaker 1: at Minnesota four to one the final today. Victor Carrotena

3:41
Speaker 1: State Athletic Director Ross Bulerk, you remember him, said, we
3:47
Speaker 1: can't govern nationally right now. There are too many extenuating forces.
3:51
Speaker 1: Can we have a subset at our conference? We're still
3:55
Speaker 1: going to play each other. The Big Ten wants to
3:59
Speaker 1: govern its elf. The contingency plan will grow legs slowly
4:05
Speaker 1: involving enforcement arm we will see. But right now, discussing
4:12
Speaker 1: the future of the Big Ten governing revenue sharing deals itself,
4:16
Speaker 1: setting its own rules in a legally defensible framework. Every
4:22
Speaker 1: conference will go to that unlessen until they appoint me
4:25
Speaker 1: the cizar of college sports. Big blow for the Colorado Avalanche,
4:31
Speaker 1: Cale mccarr will misgame one of the Western Conference Finals
4:35
Speaker 1: tonight against Vegas. Shared Bednar says mccar is day to day.
4:41
Speaker 1: We're all day to day. Mccar skated Monday, skated this morning.
4:45
Speaker 1: According to Bednar, he is improving. He left the ice
4:50
Speaker 1: holding his right arm following a collision late in Game
4:54
Speaker 1: five against Minnesota last week. He returned in overtime, left
5:01
Speaker 1: briefly after Game one, taking a hit along the boards.
5:05
Speaker 1: ESPN says Bookar is dealing with more than one injury
5:10
Speaker 1: and possibly reaggravated an injury that is keeping him out. Meanwhile,
5:17
Speaker 1: it has been one hundred and seven years since an
5:23
Speaker 1: NHL team had to break had such a long break
5:28
Speaker 1: between two playoff series. The Hurricanes last game was May
5:34
Speaker 1: the ninth. They don't start until tomorrow. That is a
5:40
Speaker 1: long time between hockey games, eleven full days. Shane gotta
5:46
Speaker 1: Spear says, you want to play so badly. Obviously, it's
5:51
Speaker 1: nice to have a break, but when it gets that long,
5:54
Speaker 1: it's a little too much. The Hurricanes host the Canadians
5:59
Speaker 1: in Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals tomorrow night.
6:05
Speaker 1: Widely anticipated changes in the PGA tour. Sports Business Journal
6:11
Speaker 1: reveals that CEO Brian Rolap reveal a proposed plan to
6:15
Speaker 1: players two weeks ago that would include two tiers of tournaments,
6:20
Speaker 1: the first track, twenty three elevated events, sixteen regular season tournaments,
6:27
Speaker 1: three FedEx playoff events, and four majors. Currently, regular season
6:35
Speaker 1: signature events have fields between seventy and eighty Only three
6:39
Speaker 1: of the nine have a thirty six hole cut. However,
6:43
Speaker 1: that's expected to change. Today we have eight signature events,
6:48
Speaker 1: said ROLAP. We're effectively looking to at least double that number.
6:52
Speaker 1: Add the four majors, the players are postseason and Presidents
6:57
Speaker 1: or Ryder Cup, and you get twenty one to twenty
7:01
Speaker 1: six events. Live Golf is moving forward with its plan
7:06
Speaker 1: to take a new business model to potential investors, perhaps
7:13
Speaker 1: in the US. Saudi Arabia's public investment fund, of course,
7:17
Speaker 1: pulled out leaving Live in Limbo. Hey just see what
7:24
Speaker 1: I did there, leaving Live in Limbo. Don't then I
7:29
Speaker 1: screwed everything down. Don't try that on your own. I'm
7:32
Speaker 1: a professional lives exploring considering a number of things with
7:37
Speaker 1: long term strategic partners. The sources say. League has received
7:43
Speaker 1: significant interests from potential investors, but until I write a check,
7:47
Speaker 1: there's no Live Oh this is good. Florida basketball coach
7:55
Speaker 1: Todd Golden is the first one to weigh in against
7:58
Speaker 1: what Will Wade is at LSU. We told you he
8:03
Speaker 1: is recruiting professional players blatantly that aren't eligible. Golden says,
8:10
Speaker 1: when you're bringing in twenty five and twenty six year
8:12
Speaker 1: olds that have first all been drafted and have played professionally,
8:18
Speaker 1: that's not what college athletics is supposed to be. Golden
8:25
Speaker 1: said this week, I know a lot of it has changed.
8:29
Speaker 1: The financial pieces are important. This is a net positive.
8:34
Speaker 1: We're going to have to see some action. I don't
8:37
Speaker 1: think we have a great chance, but you never know.
8:40
Speaker 1: Maybe Will knows more than us. And the NCAA took
8:47
Speaker 1: a step toward adding flag football as an official championship sport,
8:55
Speaker 1: a key committee endorsing sponsoring as soon as the spring
8:59
Speaker 1: of twenty eight. The nc DOUBLEA I'm not making this
9:05
Speaker 1: up people. The NCUBA Committee on Access Opportunity and Impact. Okay,
9:13
Speaker 1: let me ask this question. Do we need a Committee
9:19
Speaker 1: on Access Opportunity and Impact? Now? No, we don't. I
9:26
Speaker 1: don't know how many people are on that committee. I
9:29
Speaker 1: don't know what the payroll is for that committee. I
9:32
Speaker 1: don't know how many people are getting paid and have
9:35
Speaker 1: an office in Indianapolis on that committee. To receive official
9:42
Speaker 1: approval Divisions one, two, and three all have to individually
9:45
Speaker 1: sponsor legislation to add a championship at each of their levels.
9:51
Speaker 1: It will be discussed at the twenty twenty six n
9:54
Speaker 1: C DOUBLEA Convention. Do they still do that? And why
9:58
Speaker 1: our CX Sports and Football petition for flag football to
10:05
Speaker 1: join the Emerging Sports for Women program. You think there
10:11
Speaker 1: are going to be scholarships for women's flag football players?
10:18
Speaker 1: You think schools are going to pay for that? Are
10:24
Speaker 1: you serious? They can't pay for basketball and football right
10:29
Speaker 1: now and you want a women's flag football Isael Reese
10:37
Speaker 1: is the founder of rc X Sports. Would you look
10:41
Speaker 1: up OURCX sports straight because I have no idea what
10:44
Speaker 1: that is? He says, women's flag football is experiencing extraordinary
10:50
Speaker 1: growth at the college level. Did you know this? Did
10:54
Speaker 1: anybody know that women's flag football is experiencing extraordinary growth
11:00
Speaker 1: at the college level? I mean, let's see, what do
11:10
Speaker 1: they have? Flag football, street hockey, what's MLB? Are these games?
11:18
Speaker 1: Are these video games? Soccer? Recreational basketball, recreational basketball? You
11:26
Speaker 1: think we're gonna have scholarships for that? Come on, people,
11:34
Speaker 1: somebody needs to call me and make me an offer.
11:37
Speaker 1: I will clean all of this up. It may take
11:41
Speaker 1: a couple of days, but I'll clean it all up.
11:46
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break, we'll come back. This portion
11:50
Speaker 1: of the program is brought to you by Chad Jones Law.
11:53
Speaker 3: I'm Chad Jones. We know sports injuries hurt, and so
11:56
Speaker 3: do injuries from car recks. But you didn't sign up
11:59
Speaker 3: to be in a car wreck with someone who wasn't
12:00
Speaker 3: paying attention. It was their fault and now you're left
12:03
Speaker 3: to deal with the consequences. You need to see a doctor,
12:06
Speaker 3: and you're missing work. Chad Jones Law can help. We've

12:23
Speaker 1: Having Kanty and Michelle are unsportsman life.
12:26
Speaker 4: I love the fact that Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy
12:29
Speaker 4: get to come back together. On the other side of
12:30
Speaker 4: the coin, though, is the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise and them
12:34
Speaker 4: being able to stabilize the most important position in all
12:37
Speaker 4: the team sports and I don't think this signing helps
12:39
Speaker 4: them do that any way, shape or for and until
12:41
Speaker 4: they find a viable long term solution, they're going to
12:44
Speaker 4: continue to stay on the treadmill of mediocrity unsportsman life.

Speaker 1: with us. It is all Willie Wednesday, Scott Clinton and
13:38
Speaker 1: is here. Mallory will be here tomorrow. We've got our
13:40
Speaker 1: Clark Eisenower outdoor show. I'm going to be visiting with
13:43
Speaker 1: author Matthew Sapinski. He has written a book called A
13:48
Speaker 1: Fishable Feast, Fly Fishing and Eating your way around the World.
13:54
Speaker 1: Why didn't I think about this? Why didn't I get
13:57
Speaker 1: an editor to approve this? I have been to some
14:01
Speaker 1: of the places that are featured in this book, actually
14:07
Speaker 1: a few of them over the years, including Alaska, Baha Belize, Colorado,
14:19
Speaker 1: the Florida Keys, the Great Lakes, Louisiana, Montana. It's not bad,
14:27
Speaker 1: but I've got a ways to go and not a
14:30
Speaker 1: lot of time to get there. But that's tomorrow on
14:36
Speaker 1: the show. Friday. On the show, Caleb is filling in
14:41
Speaker 1: for Ryan, who normally fills in for me on Friday's.
14:44
Speaker 1: Riley will also be with him. That is Friday on
14:49
Speaker 1: the program. Tomorrow, will have a besides the Clark Eisenhower,
14:56
Speaker 1: will have some Aggie baseball preview, will have a high
15:00
Speaker 1: school report, will have a report. We will introduce you
15:05
Speaker 1: to our new intern, Riley Dorsey. Not to be confused
15:11
Speaker 1: with Riley Flerky. What are the odds that we would
15:15
Speaker 1: have two Riley's here on the sports staff. But she
15:20
Speaker 1: is working on a story on the women's golf at
15:23
Speaker 1: the NCAA in California. She's working on several stories for
15:29
Speaker 1: us and you will be hearing her throughout the summer.
15:32
Speaker 1: So we got that going on for us, which is nice. Tonight,
15:36
Speaker 1: Game one, Western Conference Finals. The Dallas Stars should be
15:40
Speaker 1: playing in the Western Conference Finals, but they're not. The
15:44
Speaker 1: Colorado Avalanche are and the Golden the Las Vegas Golden
15:52
Speaker 1: Knights are playing and hold on, I've got a piece
15:57
Speaker 1: of paper here somewhere that it's supposed to tell me
16:02
Speaker 1: these things. But we're going to hear from Jared Bednar,
16:08
Speaker 1: the coach of the Avalanche first. And wait a minute, Ah,
16:16
Speaker 1: I knew it was here.
16:18
Speaker 8: You know.
16:20
Speaker 1: I know what it sounds like every day. It sounds
16:22
Speaker 1: like I just sit down and we throw all this
16:24
Speaker 1: stuff together. But actually there is some work, a little
16:29
Speaker 1: preparation that goes into this stuff. Not much, but some.
16:33
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from the Avalanche general manager Chris McFarlane
16:37
Speaker 1: and head coach Jared Bednar.
16:40
Speaker 9: I want to coach.
16:41
Speaker 10: My question for you is what is it about this
16:44
Speaker 10: Vegas team that's allowed to coach John Twittorella's coaching style
16:49
Speaker 10: to translate so well in such a short period of time.
16:53
Speaker 11: I think I kind of answered this the other day.
16:56
Speaker 11: I think it's a veteran group. Okay, it's been around,
17:00
Speaker 11: lots of guys have won. Their good mix between older
17:04
Speaker 11: guys and younger guys that are making an impact on
17:06
Speaker 11: their team, and I think it's towards his people's skills.
17:11
Speaker 11: That's what it is. He's he has a reputation of
17:16
Speaker 11: driving the best out of all of his guys and
17:18
Speaker 11: his teams, and you got a team that's won before
17:23
Speaker 11: and they're hungry to win. So at this point in
17:26
Speaker 11: the season and down the stretch running in the playoffs,
17:29
Speaker 11: they're doing whatever it takes, and Towards is the guy
17:32
Speaker 11: that knows exactly what it takes that side.
17:35
Speaker 12: Second round Jared Nick Popsenika from Nick's on that concert
17:38
Speaker 12: back to back Towards questions. But you mentioned the other
17:40
Speaker 12: day that you were in Cleveland when he was in club,
17:42
Speaker 12: So I'm curious like that specifically, what were your interactions?
17:45
Speaker 9: How much did he include you?
17:47
Speaker 13: What you learn?
17:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean.
17:50
Speaker 11: Most of the time when you're in the minors, and
17:55
Speaker 11: you know, the NHL is busy schedule obviously, so it's
17:59
Speaker 11: not like I saw a ton of Towards, But I
18:02
Speaker 11: did get to know him a little bit personally and professionally,
18:05
Speaker 11: and like, I don't know, it's hard to pinpoint exactly
18:10
Speaker 11: what I learned from him specifically, but I've watched him
18:12
Speaker 11: go about his business. I've talked to him, you know,
18:15
Speaker 11: his assistant coaches quite a bit. And the accountability that
18:20
Speaker 11: he demands within his team is something that, you know,
18:25
Speaker 11: we talked about quite a bit, and again, I think
18:27
Speaker 11: it's another reason why their team's having so much success
18:30
Speaker 11: right now. It's a different voice. I'm sure there's a
18:33
Speaker 11: lot of the same messaging as Bruce, but maybe a
18:37
Speaker 11: little bit of a different approach. And you know, at
18:40
Speaker 11: this point in the year, players are are looking for
18:43
Speaker 11: direction on what it takes to win, and they get
18:45
Speaker 11: a group that's hungry to do that.
18:48
Speaker 14: Stay in that same role, Mark Chris Mark, Blazers Athletic.
18:51
Speaker 14: I think you have three drafted players on this team.
18:53
Speaker 14: Obviously they're three very good, very important pieces, but you know,
18:57
Speaker 14: this is a team that was built through trays and
18:58
Speaker 14: free agency. In Florida was like that, at Vegas is
19:00
Speaker 14: like that. Everyone wants to build through the draft these days.
19:03
Speaker 14: But what are the challenges of doing when you've accomplished
19:05
Speaker 14: here and building and going without Yeah, that's a that's
19:09
Speaker 14: a good question.
19:09
Speaker 15: I think there's there's lots of different ways to skin
19:12
Speaker 15: the cat. I think the organizational cycle that we've been
19:15
Speaker 15: in the last number of years has, due to the
19:18
Speaker 15: job the coaches and our players have done, has kind
19:22
Speaker 15: of lended itself that we're we're trying to win, right,
19:25
Speaker 15: So we're sacrificing some of that youth, some of those
19:29
Speaker 15: picks and prospects. So you've got to delve into whether
19:32
Speaker 15: it's college free agency or you know, European free agency,
19:36
Speaker 15: which we've done with the likes of you know, Pavel
19:38
Speaker 15: Franzos and Logan O'Connor and Sam Malensky, and you know,
19:42
Speaker 15: our scouts have done a great job supplementing the moving
19:45
Speaker 15: out of the picks.
19:46
Speaker 9: So you know, like you said, we've.
19:48
Speaker 1: Got high, high end drafted players.
19:51
Speaker 15: That that are still with us and we're fortunate to have,
19:55
Speaker 15: and you know, we had other ones that are no
19:57
Speaker 15: longer with us. But I think, you know, I think
20:00
Speaker 15: the cycle that it's kind of been building on over
20:02
Speaker 15: the last seven eight years, it's that's that's just part
20:05
Speaker 15: of the beast.
20:06
Speaker 14: Look, you can't get through these yeares just one goalie
20:09
Speaker 14: unless you're a team like a Tampa that hasn't andre Vasileski.
20:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's.
20:16
Speaker 11: Well, some of it is that. I think it's it's
20:18
Speaker 11: parody within your tandem. I mean, there's not too many
20:24
Speaker 11: andre Vassilevski's out there right number one, So and it's
20:30
Speaker 11: you know, the comfort of sort of repeating what you've
20:33
Speaker 11: done in the regular season. If you've got into the playoffs,
20:35
Speaker 11: you've been a good team. If you've advanced in the playoffs,
20:37
Speaker 11: you've been a good team. And if you've used both
20:41
Speaker 11: guys the whole way in order to get you there,
20:44
Speaker 11: then I think you know they're to a certain extent,
20:48
Speaker 11: you might need both guys to keep advancing. I also
20:52
Speaker 11: think there's there's a lot of I mean, if you
20:55
Speaker 11: look at some of the starters and a lot of
20:56
Speaker 11: young guys that are making impacts on the team, you know,
20:59
Speaker 11: there's young teams that are advancing, and there's there's young
21:02
Speaker 11: starters that are advancing. So when they're sharing the net
21:06
Speaker 11: all year and you get to a certain point, it's
21:08
Speaker 11: like the playoffs is a different animal. It's the mental
21:12
Speaker 11: fatigue and stress of playing the travel back and forth
21:16
Speaker 11: on a regular date, Like you're not getting weak long
21:19
Speaker 11: ten day long home stands and things like that either.
21:23
Speaker 11: So fatigue is a factor, both mental and physical, and
21:27
Speaker 11: it's hard to play your best if you're fatigued in
21:29
Speaker 11: either one of those. So that's why I think you're seeing,
21:32
Speaker 11: you know, more teams use two guys, even if it's
21:35
Speaker 11: just for a game or two.
21:36
Speaker 1: That's Colorado head coach Jared Bednar and also the general manager,
21:40
Speaker 1: Chris McFarlane. Now, we told you yesterday that the NHL
21:45
Speaker 1: levied a one hundred thousand dollars fine against Golden Knights
21:50
Speaker 1: coach John Tortorella for refusing to open the locker room
21:55
Speaker 1: after his team clinched the matchup again Anaheim. And they
22:03
Speaker 1: also took away a second round draft pick this year
22:08
Speaker 1: from Las Vegas. So it's pretty funny when you see
22:14
Speaker 1: the video yesterday, Tortorella looking like a let's see a
22:20
Speaker 1: school child that has been caught doing something sitting next
22:23
Speaker 1: to his general manager. As his general manager, Kelly McCrimmon explains,
22:30
Speaker 1: we screwed up. He screwed up. This ain't gonna happen anymore.
22:34
Speaker 1: So let's start with Kelly mccrinnan, the general manager of
22:37
Speaker 1: the Golden Knights, and then we'll also hear from John
22:40
Speaker 1: Tortorella felt.
22:41
Speaker 9: In a playoff series, when you win a series, you
22:43
Speaker 9: galvanised the bond with your fan base. We missed that
22:47
Speaker 9: opportunity by not having John available to do postgame. That's
22:52
Speaker 9: on John for failing to do that. That's on me
22:56
Speaker 9: as a general manager of the hockey club, the feet
23:00
Speaker 9: of our comms people who made other arrangements with each
23:03
Speaker 9: of you to accommodate tight quarters in and around our
23:07
Speaker 9: dressing room post game. We have no explanation other than
23:11
Speaker 9: to say we were wrong and to assure you that
23:14
Speaker 9: it will not happen again. The league has spoke on
23:17
Speaker 9: the matter. We have spoken the matter. Neither John or
23:20
Speaker 9: I will be taking any questions on this. Secondly, regarding
23:24
Speaker 9: Bruce Cassidy, teams have asked for permission to speak with Bruce.
23:28
Speaker 9: We've been consistent that our focus currently is on the
23:32
Speaker 9: Stanley Cup playoffs, and the teams have respected that. I've
23:35
Speaker 9: spoken with Bruce. He understands this as well. Moving on
23:41
Speaker 9: to the conference finals, we are really proud and excited
23:46
Speaker 9: as an organization to be in the conference final for
23:48
Speaker 9: the fifth time in our nine seasons. We beat a
23:51
Speaker 9: very good Anaheim team to get here. We probably after
23:57
Speaker 9: two games they had a little bit of an edge
23:59
Speaker 9: in play. After six games we had the edge and
24:02
Speaker 9: play very good series. Hats off to Pat Verbeek, Joel
24:06
Speaker 9: Quinnville and their team. Looking forward to Colorado, I think
24:11
Speaker 9: everyone knew all along Round three was either going to
24:14
Speaker 9: be against the Colorado Avalanche or whatever team was able
24:19
Speaker 9: to beat them. So in round three you're playing a
24:21
Speaker 9: good team. Certainly this year when you look at Colorado,
24:24
Speaker 9: I think after forty games they were thirty one to
24:26
Speaker 9: two and seven. But every year year in round three
24:30
Speaker 9: you're playing a good team. We went to the Stanley
24:33
Speaker 9: Cup finals on two occasions. We beat the Dallas Stars,
24:36
Speaker 9: most recently in twenty twenty three, the year that we
24:38
Speaker 9: won the Stanley Cup. That was a great hockey team.
24:41
Speaker 9: We went to the Stanley Cup finals in twenty eighteen
24:44
Speaker 9: we beat what I think was the best Winnipeg Jets
24:46
Speaker 9: team ever assembled. So when you get to round three,
24:49
Speaker 9: you're playing against a really good team. Our organization has
24:54
Speaker 9: a ton of respect for Joe Sakik, Chris McFarland, Jared Bedner.
25:00
Speaker 9: We congratulate them on their great year. We've had some
25:04
Speaker 9: great games with Colorado over the years. It just seems
25:06
Speaker 9: like every time we play, whether it's a regular season
25:09
Speaker 9: game or a playoff game, the games are good games.
25:12
Speaker 9: I think the teams respect each other. I think the
25:15
Speaker 9: players get up for the games against one another. I
25:18
Speaker 9: know the last time we played them in the playoffs,
25:20
Speaker 9: which was five years ago. Was that year where you
25:23
Speaker 9: played each other in your division. So that particular year,
25:25
Speaker 9: we played the Colorado Avalanche fourteen times between eight regular
25:30
Speaker 9: season games six playoff games, and it just seemed that
25:33
Speaker 9: that year, if we played our very best, we could
25:37
Speaker 9: play with Colorado. If we played anything less than our
25:39
Speaker 9: very best, they dominated us. And that's the type of
25:43
Speaker 9: firepower that they had. Then they've been a champion since then.
25:47
Speaker 9: We've been a champion since then. Both teams have made
25:50
Speaker 9: moves to strengthen their teams again coming out of that.
25:54
Speaker 9: And I know I speak for John in our entire
25:57
Speaker 9: organization when I say we're extremely excited to get started.
26:01
Speaker 9: I'll open it up for any questions regarding the years.
26:04
Speaker 12: Hey, John Chert Bednard talked this morning about when he
26:06
Speaker 12: was in Cleveland and you were in Columbus. I wonder
26:09
Speaker 12: what your recollections of him then? What did you think
26:11
Speaker 12: of him?
26:12
Speaker 13: Then?
26:12
Speaker 12: What do you think of the coach he's become.
26:14
Speaker 16: Yeah, I knew then. I think I had just started.
26:17
Speaker 16: I think it was after my first year.
26:19
Speaker 11: First year.
26:20
Speaker 16: Yeah, And I knew then through talking to people in
26:24
Speaker 16: the organization and watching what he did with the players.
26:30
Speaker 16: I talked to him at the end of the year.
26:31
Speaker 16: I believe it was because I was filling out a
26:34
Speaker 16: coaching staff. There's no sense of me talking to him
26:37
Speaker 16: because we knew where he was going to go.
26:40
Speaker 1: Yeah.
26:40
Speaker 16: So I have a tremendous my respect for him. A
26:45
Speaker 16: good man, a very good coach that's coaching a very
26:48
Speaker 16: good team.
26:50
Speaker 12: Along the same lines for our writer in the East,
26:52
Speaker 12: Marty SILOUI, when he was a player, did you see
26:54
Speaker 12: a coach in him? And do you see the old Marty?
26:57
Speaker 10: The player?
26:58
Speaker 16: Marty was a pain in the ass, quite honestly, with
27:01
Speaker 16: how many questions he'd ask, So I kind of figured
27:07
Speaker 16: he was going to be there eventually, very inquisitive. It
27:12
Speaker 16: was just it was relentless as far as the questions
27:15
Speaker 16: he'd ask. I'm proud of him. I'm knowing very well.
27:19
Speaker 16: We're very good friends. I'm proud of how he went
27:24
Speaker 16: about it. He wanted to spend time with his family
27:26
Speaker 16: and his boys. He wanted to coach them. I think
27:30
Speaker 16: he picked a time when his boys probably stopped listening
27:32
Speaker 16: to him and wanted to continue. I think he's great
27:37
Speaker 16: for the game. I think he's got a unique mind.
27:41
Speaker 16: And bring so much to the game. So yeah, I
27:47
Speaker 16: just text him today and we stay in touch.
27:51
Speaker 6: Again.
27:53
Speaker 16: What he did for me when I was a coach
27:55
Speaker 16: and he was a player, I'll never forget. I'm so
27:59
Speaker 16: happy and proud of them as far as what he's
28:01
Speaker 16: done here.
28:02
Speaker 1: All right. That's John Tortorella, head coach of the Vegas
28:05
Speaker 1: Golden Knights again tonight. Game one Western Conference Finals Colorado
28:10
Speaker 1: and Vegas. Game one of the East starts tomorrow. We'll
28:17
Speaker 1: see what happens from there. Kim Alexis Supermodel with us
28:24
Speaker 1: on Monday. She has a new podcast called Unexpired, and
28:31
Speaker 1: I like the theme of it. It challenges people who
28:43
Speaker 1: others say about them their past their prime. If you've
28:47
Speaker 1: seen Kim Alexis, she's probably a good one to be
28:52
Speaker 1: hosting that. But we will talk to her on Monday
28:55
Speaker 1: Writers Roundtable. Also on Monday coming up, Clendennon is going
29:01
Speaker 1: to join us and Mallory will be with us in
29:08
Speaker 1: the second hour. The Astros have lost to the Twins
29:13
Speaker 1: in a game you heard here earlier this afternoon on
29:15
Speaker 1: the Zone. The Rangers last week checked were losing to
29:20
Speaker 1: the Rockies. Good thing they've entered the easy part of
29:24
Speaker 1: their schedule. Anyway, I'm a little put off by that. Hey,
29:32
Speaker 1: I want to remind you that the Memorial Day weekend
29:35
Speaker 1: is coming up and Pat Zefcheck and his hard working
29:39
Speaker 1: crew are going to take advantage. They will not be
29:43
Speaker 1: open Saturday or Monday. There will be no gasoline pumps
29:48
Speaker 1: open Saturday or Monday because of Memorial Day. And yeah,
29:56
Speaker 1: Scott Clindennon gave me that, and I'm glad he did.
30:00
Speaker 1: I would have had to call otherwise and talk to Pat,
30:02
Speaker 1: but this way I don't have to. So if you're
30:06
Speaker 1: getting ready to go on the road for the Memorial
30:10
Speaker 1: Day weekend, you need to go by Friday at six.
30:14

Speaker 13: I'm a pretty great multitasker. I can watch dishes and
31:06
Speaker 13: do laundry. I can roller skate while walking my dogs.
31:10
Speaker 13: I can even order lunch while doing my homework. But
31:13
Speaker 13: I can't use my phone while driving. A distracted driver
31:17
Speaker 13: is one of the leading causes of death in the
31:18

Speaker 19: Coaches now went two national championships in the last three years,
31:40
Speaker 19: brings the trophy into the studio. What is it about
31:43
Speaker 19: this team that like if you were to put a
31:46
Speaker 19: headline behind this team and what you learned about them
31:49
Speaker 19: what makes them uniquely.
31:50
Speaker 13: Then Yeah, I think maybe playing for a bigger call
31:53
Speaker 13: is a bigger purpose than just themselves.
31:55
Speaker 5: It was a team I think that truly wanted to
31:57
Speaker 5: win for Texas A and M, which you don't always see.

33:00
Speaker 1: Scott Clint Dinnon is here. I promised the listeners on
33:05
Speaker 1: Lewis Show today that you would be explaining a path
33:13
Speaker 1: forward for the baseball team to win the national championship.
33:19
Speaker 6: Okay, a path forward for the August to win.
33:23
Speaker 1: A national champion in baseball this year this season? Yeah right, yeah,
33:28
Speaker 1: starting next week, next week, Yeah, this week done cout
33:32
Speaker 1: starting next week Sunday or is it Monday? That was
33:37
Speaker 1: announced Monday right, Memorial Day?
33:39
Speaker 6: Memorial Day?
33:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, the most direct route is for.
33:45
Speaker 6: The agg not to lose, for the Aggies to have
33:48
Speaker 6: a four seed.
33:51
Speaker 1: Really, how so I'm.
33:53
Speaker 6: Saying the four seed they play in regional po okay, yeah,
33:57
Speaker 6: does not put stress on their pitching staff to allow him.
34:01
Speaker 1: In other words, a four seed that doesn't have an
34:03
Speaker 1: SEC caliber Friday night pitcher.
34:06
Speaker 6: True, yeah, which sometimes four seeds.
34:10
Speaker 1: Do, Yes, they do, everybody, but almost almost everyone has
34:13
Speaker 1: one these days.
34:14
Speaker 6: No, most of them transferred to the SEC or the ACC.
34:17
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're saying not as many as these smaller
34:23
Speaker 1: schools from smaller conferences used to have but don't anymore.
34:28
Speaker 6: Okay, let Ethan Darden pitch a significant portion of that game.
34:36
Speaker 1: First game, first game, okay, because I.
34:39
Speaker 6: Don't think you're not starting Ethan Darden saving him for
34:41
Speaker 6: game two. So if you can win three games the
34:47
Speaker 6: first weekend by winning, you know, winning the first game
34:53
Speaker 6: and then comfortably comfortably winning the next two games without
34:57
Speaker 6: it being with which you know, still can be a challenge.
35:02
Speaker 6: Not gonna act like there aren't two seeds out there,
35:05
Speaker 6: that aren't gonna have if Oklahoma shape State shows up here,
35:09
Speaker 6: or if Lafayette, who's on a run right now, gets
35:13
Speaker 6: a two seed because they win the Sun Belt, that
35:16
Speaker 6: those teams can't challenge you. I still think it would
35:20
Speaker 6: be easier for A and M to win two out
35:22
Speaker 6: of three for a super regional, because that's what they
35:27
Speaker 6: have to do every weekend. They won't play a team
35:31
Speaker 6: if they're a national seed as good as Mississippi State,
35:34
Speaker 6: unless they have Mississippi State or Florida or someone like
35:37
Speaker 6: that is matched up against them.
35:39
Speaker 1: So while I'm thinking about it, Kirk wrote about this
35:43
Speaker 1: in his Nine Things, Schlass wants to have a tournament
35:50
Speaker 1: where there's no quote regional, super regional that you're playing
35:55
Speaker 1: best two out of three period, right you.
35:58
Speaker 6: Start, Yeah, he wanted that when he was here.
36:02
Speaker 1: What do you think about that idea? I kind of
36:05
Speaker 1: like it, And you just mentioned that he said, this
36:08
Speaker 1: is what we do. You know, every weekend we played
36:11
Speaker 1: two out of three. It's not really natural to play
36:13
Speaker 1: double elimination with four teams, and certainly that's the case.
36:17
Speaker 1: I know they've been doing it forever. He thinks the
36:21
Speaker 1: best teams sometimes might not necessarily come out of that
36:26
Speaker 1: fourteen when we've seen that here four team double elimination,
36:31
Speaker 1: but generally speaking in a two out of three.
36:33
Speaker 6: You didn't complain about that when he was at TV.
36:35
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about complaining. I don't think he's complaining,
36:38
Speaker 1: just saying, hey, I think the format would be better
36:43
Speaker 1: served for everyone if we did that instead of having
36:46
Speaker 1: the four team double elimination.
36:48
Speaker 6: Set a half. Yes, but when TCU was first starting
36:51
Speaker 6: out and they were the three seeded in a regional
36:53
Speaker 6: of Texas, A and M and A and M was
36:55
Speaker 6: the one, and Ole Miss was a two and TCU
36:58
Speaker 6: was a three, he certainly was wanting to be a
37:01
Speaker 6: different format. I understand what he's saying. Yeah, you do
37:05
Speaker 6: play two out of three each and every weekend, and
37:09
Speaker 6: it does replicate, and you would think that the power
37:13
Speaker 6: of the top thirty two teams would more than likely win. Yes,
37:19
Speaker 6: and then you know the next week you would have
37:24
Speaker 6: you know.
37:24
Speaker 1: Well, I think you'd start with thirty two forty two.
37:28
Speaker 1: You'd start with thirty two, right.
37:29
Speaker 6: I'm saying you'd have thirty two best of threes.
37:32
Speaker 1: Yes, thirty two best of threes is correct.
37:34
Speaker 6: Then you would have sixt eighteen best of threes. Correct,
37:39
Speaker 6: So sure, if your Texas in your the one seed
37:43
Speaker 6: and you're playing Prairie View two out of three, because
37:47
Speaker 6: they're they're still going to be in there, and maybe
37:50
Speaker 6: they're the.
37:50
Speaker 1: Well here's here's my thing. And I've never even thought
37:53
Speaker 1: about that. But what we talk about all the time,
37:56
Speaker 1: and what we've talked about here all year long, is pitching. Right,
38:00
Speaker 1: pitching When you have to delve into a fourth or
38:03
Speaker 1: fifth game on a weekend, you know, that's that's trouble
38:07
Speaker 1: for everybody. I'm not saying, you know, it's not equal.
38:10
Speaker 1: It is equal, and from that standpoint.
38:14
Speaker 14: But.
38:16
Speaker 1: Generally speaking, the best teams are going to win the
38:21
Speaker 1: two games out of three.
38:24
Speaker 6: And generally speaking, the best teams are going to win
38:27
Speaker 6: the first weekend of regional play.
38:29
Speaker 1: That's that's probably right. That's not necessarily right. That would
38:35
Speaker 1: change much.
38:35
Speaker 6: Okay, So you know, why don't we just cut out
38:39
Speaker 6: those other thirty two teams and just do the best
38:43
Speaker 6: of thirty two sixteen to best out of threes.
38:47
Speaker 1: I think that's not be inclusive.
38:48
Speaker 6: But contract and be exclusive.
38:53
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I'm not I don't know about that.
38:55
Speaker 1: How many how many teams there were how many teams
38:58
Speaker 1: will start? Will there'd be thirty thirty two teams will
39:00
Speaker 1: start this tournament next week? Oh, there will be sixty four. Okay,
39:04
Speaker 1: all right, we're not at seventy eight yet.
39:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly because previously you had a tournament of seventy
39:17
Speaker 6: and you had play in games. You did have play
39:20
Speaker 6: in games for some conferences. When was that, you know,
39:27
Speaker 6: before they went to when they were it was when
39:31
Speaker 6: they were forty eight, not been when they were five.
39:33
Speaker 1: I remember forty eight.
39:35
Speaker 6: But you would have the swack play another non powerful
39:40
Speaker 6: just like basketball, and they would then be into the tournament.
39:46
Speaker 1: Like basketball, like basketball.
39:47
Speaker 6: Okay, we're gonna do that basketball anymore?
39:50
Speaker 1: Are are you going to be for? Are you going
39:54
Speaker 1: to go out and see the new women's flag football
39:57
Speaker 1: team today?
39:58
Speaker 14: And?
39:58
Speaker 6: M sure? Why wouldn't I Why do you think it's
40:04
Speaker 6: women's flag football?
40:06
Speaker 1: I don't know. Why don't we do men's flag football?
40:09
Speaker 1: Eliminate all all tackling?
40:12
Speaker 6: Yeah?
40:14
Speaker 1: Thank thank you put one hundred and nine thousand in
40:17
Speaker 1: for a flag football game.
40:20
Speaker 6: How many did you put in for banana b.
40:22
Speaker 1: Just one hundred and two.
40:24
Speaker 6: There're not.
40:26
Speaker 1: We'll take a break, we'll come back the astros report
40:30
Speaker 1: from yesterday, which will be a lot better than today's
40:33
Speaker 1: astro report, so that's why we're doing it. Tomorrow's astro
40:37
Speaker 1: report won't be as good, just like today's Ranger report
40:42
Speaker 1: is going to be good, but probably not very good tomorrow.
40:46
Speaker 1: UH roll its right.
40:49

44:47
Speaker 5: Listen in Weekdays eleven to two on the Zooe.
45:41
Speaker 1: This has been a song that has been part of
45:43
Speaker 1: Willy's concert repertoire for a long time, either the second
45:50
Speaker 1: or third song he plays after Whiskey Rivers. Scott Clandennon
45:53
Speaker 1: Is in studio didn't play Blue as Crime. He did not.
45:58
Speaker 1: He does not play that one. Arkansas, I tell you
46:02
Speaker 1: what he does, Arkansas just homers ye uh, Nobody Meadow
46:07
Speaker 1: Base one nothing Arkansas. Any surprises beside Missouri beat Nole
46:13
Speaker 1: miss so far.
46:16
Speaker 6: Uh, Catcher's interference allows Jaques Peterson to reach.
46:22
Speaker 1: Oh nice, how many outs? Oh good, So the tying
46:25
Speaker 1: run is on base for the Rangers. Beautiful.
46:30
Speaker 6: I was shocked, even in even with the season they're having,
46:35
Speaker 6: how few LSU fans were at the game less.
46:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I had mentioned, Uh, it was going
46:41
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see that because uls you generally
46:45
Speaker 1: travels and what like you said, it would have been
46:49
Speaker 1: interesting to see. They will play Auburn this evening late
46:55
Speaker 1: event eventually they will play Auburn. By the way, that
46:59
Speaker 1: game didn't that That last game last night wasn't as
47:04
Speaker 1: late as I thought. It started at nine, It went
47:07
Speaker 1: three and a half hours and hit at twelve thirty
47:09
Speaker 1: this morning. I thought it was going to be like
47:12
Speaker 1: a like a two.
47:14
Speaker 6: Am or I did not see the end of that game.
47:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't see any of it. What time do
47:20
Speaker 1: you think the A and M game is going to start?
47:22
Speaker 6: Now? Nine o'clock? I know there's a run roll like
47:25
Speaker 6: you did earlier today.
47:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, Texas will play the winner of this Tennessee Arkansas game.
47:32
Speaker 1: But the thing is there's a fifty chance of rain
47:38
Speaker 1: all weekend, so they're not scheduled to start Friday until
47:48
Speaker 1: three o'clock. Right, there's two games scheduled for Friday. There's
47:52
Speaker 1: two games scheduled for tomorrow, right, two quarterfinals tomorrow to Friday. Yes,
47:57
Speaker 1: And they do that so they could if they need
48:00
Speaker 1: to play games when it raids, they could play games
48:03
Speaker 1: early so.
48:04
Speaker 6: They can mess over half of the bracket by having
48:06
Speaker 6: one one less day to get your pitching it.
48:09
Speaker 1: And they also do it for television sake, so TV has.
48:13
Speaker 6: Nothing to do with it. Who's in Friday's game and
48:16
Speaker 6: who's in Thursday's game.
48:17
Speaker 1: Thursday's game is Mississippi State Georgia. That is the three
48:22
Speaker 1: o'clock game scheduled, and Florida Alabama is the late game.
48:27
Speaker 6: So they've messed over Texas and Texas A and M
48:29
Speaker 6: have one less day to write.
48:31
Speaker 1: Those others get an extra day's rest. Why do you
48:35
Speaker 1: think they did that?
48:37
Speaker 6: Because they are like the America East Conference and they
48:40
Speaker 6: like to mess over hard diamond sports teams.
48:49
Speaker 1: It don't matter, it's just the conference tournament.
48:52
Speaker 6: Fostercu singles to write Peterson a second.
48:55
Speaker 1: We got a rally going. The raizers have a rallying.
49:00
Speaker 6: Brandon Nimo bats third for you, right.
49:02
Speaker 1: Yes, he does Oh wait.
49:04
Speaker 6: They ran for him with some guy named Osuna earlier.
49:07
Speaker 1: And no soon is it that?
49:08
Speaker 16: Yeah?
49:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are you gonna do? Oh, Nemo's got Nemo
49:15
Speaker 1: has some leg issues.
49:17
Speaker 6: So does he pitch?
49:19
Speaker 1: No? No, he hits, but he's not. There's another home
49:23
Speaker 1: run by the way. Oh no, yeah, it's the three
49:25
Speaker 1: to nothing now Arkansas, Well.
49:27
Speaker 6: There might be a run rule in this game after all.
49:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, there may be a run rule in this game.
49:32
Speaker 1: It's early and Arkansas is up three to nothing.
49:35
Speaker 6: I remember when Arkansas was bad this year.
49:38
Speaker 1: So yeah, Vanderbilt is out. I saw a deal after
49:44
Speaker 1: this Florida win eight to three. Is there a path
49:48
Speaker 1: for Florida to be a top eight seed right now?
49:55
Speaker 6: They have to somehow still be playing and have am
49:59
Speaker 6: get embarrassed in their game against.
50:02
Speaker 1: Auburn ELM, So it wouldn't. There's not going to be
50:06
Speaker 1: five SEC teams what you're saying, No, there'll be four.
50:09
Speaker 1: They'll be four, okay, and I know we went through
50:12
Speaker 1: this five. There'll be five SEC teams in the top.
50:16
Speaker 6: Eight Texas, Auburn, Alabama and A and.
50:19
Speaker 1: M and U c l A, Georgia Tech and uh
50:24
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Yeah, okay, so there will be five SEC teams,
50:29
Speaker 1: but Florida would have to jump in to knock one
50:32
Speaker 1: of those teams outs. What you're saying, yes, okay, Alabamica, Well,
50:39
Speaker 1: well they're they're playing Alabama. Yes, so if they beat Alabama.
50:44
Speaker 6: Ye, But Alabama's actually some reason in front of Well,
50:48
Speaker 6: they did sweep Auburn and they won two out of
50:50
Speaker 6: three against A and M. So maybe they are the
50:52
Speaker 6: team that needs to be at the top of that list.
50:55
Speaker 1: Alabama you're talking about, yes, instead of Auburn or not?
51:00
Speaker 6: Think they've lost Auburn and I think they and they
51:02
Speaker 6: lost A and M the series, so you.
51:04
Speaker 1: Know, okay, uh and I know you already know this too.
51:07
Speaker 1: But early announcing today that Aiden Simms won't be pitching
51:10
Speaker 1: during the weekend, Yes, he'll be ready for the regionals,
51:15
Speaker 1: will pitch again, and you think he'll pitch Game two
51:19
Speaker 1: of the Regionals. How do you think it'll be set up?
51:22
Speaker 1: Or will they wait and see who's coming? He wouldn't
51:25
Speaker 1: announce even who's starting Tomorrow night or a Friday night.
51:28
Speaker 6: Actually, I think it's gonna be Ethan Dark.
51:30
Speaker 1: Okay and Friday and Saturday. No, okay, not Friday and Saturday. Okay,
51:37
Speaker 1: but I think that season player, well you know Tennessee
51:44
Speaker 1: is not playing well.
51:46
Speaker 6: I think that I would think that Sims would probably
51:49
Speaker 6: be the Sunday starter in regional play.
51:54
Speaker 1: Really okay? Yes, so who would who? Dark would be
52:00
Speaker 1: a starter? Yes, Western Moss, Yes, would go before Simms.
52:06
Speaker 1: Would would pitch? Depend again, depending on how the tournament
52:11
Speaker 1: plays out, right, who if it plays out the way
52:14
Speaker 1: it's supposed to. As the seeded teams, you're saying he
52:18
Speaker 1: would save Simms for that for that third game, providing
52:22
Speaker 1: they win the first two.
52:23
Speaker 6: I think that that would lead towards what you're asking is,
52:26
Speaker 6: how could you advance?
52:27
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you.
52:29
Speaker 6: Have Sims pitching and deciding game. Yeah, then he's getting
52:32
Speaker 6: as much rest as he possibly can.
52:34
Speaker 1: For the next for the next yeah.
52:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, because I would think that most teams number four
52:40
Speaker 6: starter against the Aggie offense would have trouble.
52:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, no question. The number three starters have that trouble,
52:47
Speaker 1: The number two starters of that trouble, The number one
52:50
Speaker 1: starters have no.
52:51
Speaker 6: Well, now you got to look at AM's record in
52:53
Speaker 6: game one.
52:54
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're right, the game with three and seven?
52:56
Speaker 1: Is that right? In conference play? Yeah, three and seven
52:59
Speaker 1: Friday nights. It's really remarkable when you when you look
53:03
Speaker 1: at how that is. Yeah, yeah, that's it's.
53:08
Speaker 6: It's fifteen wins in game two, in game three.
53:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing. It is given you know, not having
53:16
Speaker 1: that nailed down, lockdown guy and and having a team
53:20
Speaker 1: that's going to be in the top eight. You you
53:23
Speaker 1: would think, at at worst a team like that that
53:26
Speaker 1: may be in the top four seeds, you don't, you know,
53:30
Speaker 1: depending what would be five and five in those Friday
53:33
Speaker 1: night games, right, yes, So what what they've been able
53:38
Speaker 1: to do without winning that first game in the series
53:42
Speaker 1: is remarkable.
53:44
Speaker 6: Now that Soona did not drive in the time run,
53:49
Speaker 6: dang it. The time runs scored on a pass ballo excellent.
53:55
Speaker 1: So the Rangers are clawing their way back against the
53:59
Speaker 1: Rockies today. I don't know if there has been a
54:02
Speaker 1: total of ten thousand fans in these three games in Denver. Now,
54:09
Speaker 1: first of all, it's the Rockies, which is sad because
54:13
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a beautiful part. But in my
54:17
Speaker 1: mind at least, second of all, the Rangers have never
54:21
Speaker 1: been a big draw anywhere they go. And third of all,
54:23
Speaker 1: the weather's just been brutal in Dinver. It's been cold
54:26
Speaker 1: and rainy for three days. Absolutely just terrible baseball weather
54:31
Speaker 1: for three days. But I'm telling you, it didn't look
54:34
Speaker 1: to me like there were a total and I haven't
54:38
Speaker 1: seen well I did. I saw a highlight of a
54:41
Speaker 1: home run earlier that the Rangers hit early. They did
54:44
Speaker 1: hit back to back home runs when they took the lead,
54:47
Speaker 1: and it looked like about as many people in the
54:49
Speaker 1: stands as I've seen the last two games in Denver.
54:52
Speaker 4: Wo.
54:53
Speaker 1: Something has to happen with that franchise. And I heard
54:57
Speaker 1: the Ranger guys talk about it last night that you know,
55:00
Speaker 1: Denver's a pretty big city. Oh, Rangers have gone ahead
55:03
Speaker 1: Young singles to left, Josh Young's been pretty good.
55:07
Speaker 6: Oski scores sooner to third.
55:10
Speaker 1: They were talking about the fact that Denver is, you know,
55:13
Speaker 1: Denver is a pretty large city. It's not a small market.
55:16
Speaker 6: No, And NFL wouldn't be there if it was a small.
55:19
Speaker 1: Market, right, The NBA wouldn't be there if it was
55:22
Speaker 1: a small market. The NHL wouldn't be there if it
55:26
Speaker 1: was a small market. Right. So they just haven't done
55:31
Speaker 1: a really good job, and they haven't. If they've spent money.
55:36
Speaker 1: It's been poorly right, but they haven't their Their payroll
55:41
Speaker 1: is not in the top ten as I understand it.
55:45
Speaker 1: And that's pretty big time market with really good sports fans.
55:50
Speaker 1: By the way, really good sports fans. It's it's sad
55:54
Speaker 1: to watch. I got to tell you. It's they're just
55:58
Speaker 1: not very good right now. Okay, So caught at the wall. Yeah,
56:02
Speaker 1: four to one, two out for nothing. I'm sorry for
56:05
Speaker 1: to nothing, Arkansas against Tennessee in the first inning. David
