Terminello's Take on MLB Opening Day First Impressions and Breaking News on Iowa Upsetting Nebraska (recorded 3-26-26) · OneLegUpAlex Media

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: All right, it is one leg up Alex Media with
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the great Terminillos. Take Lou Terminillo and Lou. It's been
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: a busy day and the day hasn't ended yet. I mean,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: we just had a whole slay that Major League Baseball
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: open up. We had the Yanks last night, we have
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the Mets today. Now we got to worry about March madness,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: but we'll deal with that as it comes along here.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: But but Louis, I have to say the Mets. Let's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: start there. The Mets first impression was impressive. But I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: gotta say this, the top of the lineup first impression
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: is they're gonna be good. At the bottom of the lineup,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, we still have to see them.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: How they gel.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: It just feels like a two different part lineup here
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Well today, actually the whole lineup produced, with the exception
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of Bashett who was over four. I had a big
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: sacrifice flying a first inning. I would Carson Ben struck
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: out this first two times up. Then it hits the
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: hits the bomb into the Mets bullpen. I guess that
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: that was good for him to get that off his
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: back right away. Look, Alex, we know it's a long season,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and we saw the Mets with the best record in
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: baseball as June thirteenth and then just hit the skids
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: after that, the dreaded June thirteenth. Yes, I know I
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: always bring that date up, but it's the dread It
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was the dreaded June thirteenth. It's a new team. I mean,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: it's not like the Yankees. The Yankees have basically brought
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: ninety nine or ninety the team back, and uh, it's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: a new Mets team pitching staff wise. And I think
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the yank is gonna be very good. But you said,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: let's talk about the Mets first. I thought it was
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: it was a good day for the Mets. I really did,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: uh per alta bounds back? Yeah, nothing, and then they cruised.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But the biggest, the biggest tagline here in storyline is
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they knocked him out in the first inning. I mean
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: all schemes knocked out after barely after, you know.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And they took him out. Yeah, I'm surprised. That was surprised.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: They took him out after thirty seven pitches.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't think anything wrong with the guy, right,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing wrong from the WBC appearances, right,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You don't know.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: No, this is what happens nowadays. No, I don't think
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: there's anything wrong with him, but he pitched a lot
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: in WBC, and uh, you know there's this new thing.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: If you throw more than thirty five pitches an inning,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you gotta come out, you know. And I was surprised
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: they took him out, Alex, I really was. I was
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: surprised when I saw Wama back in a pirate bullpen
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: in the first since the division is very winnable and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: we got let's see how you know, how the Mets
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: is going to you know, how that their lineup might
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: be a little believe or not a little longer. Especially
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Binge is the real thing, and the key guy is
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Francisco Alvarez, Alex, He's the key guy. If he stays healthy,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: he should, he should be able to have a breakout
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: offensive season and that will make a big difference for
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the Mets.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: All right, So Louis, let me ask you this.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Uh, it is.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Only game one of this whole season, right, but we've
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: said before the season moves faster. Now you get these
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: division rivals only twelve times. I mean when we saw
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: them break down in Washington last year, I believe it
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: was throwing the ball all over the place that one Sunday.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I said that loss will cost him in the end,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And of course they had some other bad losses along
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the way. But I mean, yeah, Winds in April and Marshall, Yes,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: did they matter now?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: They really do? And the uh. I think it's it's
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: key for the Mexican off to a good start, to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: keep the fan pressure off them, to keep the media
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: pressure off them. Alex, I don't know how good they are.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know if this is a playoff team. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: really don't. But I don't know how good the Phillies
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: are because they have injuries to to Wheeler and uh,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you know, they've lost guys. I don't know how good
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the Braves are. They've had they've had injuries, Spencer Striders injured.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: It's uh uh, it's anybody's division. Washington is rebuilding. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: think Miami will be decent, and I actually think Miami
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: will be a little bit of a pain in the
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: like more than usual. They have some good young players.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: They have some good young arms, as we know. But
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I would say division's wide open. I have no idea
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: how to peg this met team. On March twenty six.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I really don't. And but it was a good win today,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: beautiful day, sellout crowd, and you know, the Mets have
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: been they have the best record of any team in
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball on opening days. You know that. That's
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that's always been a good omen for them opening day.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So let's hope they have a good year and we'll see.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens as Iowa. Just you know that
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a couple of months that's breaking news.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: They they did Okay, wow, that's it was a two
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: big ten teams going at each other and another big
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: team is in a.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Dog fight with Texas who's down a point with twenty
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: point nine second to go.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Louis, I say, turn the table. Love when these teams
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: turn the tables and just make it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Be another could be another Purdue heart break, right and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: they've had a lot of those.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: They've had a lot of those. But no, I'll tell
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you the uh, the opening day is fun. I I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: always love it, but you know it's funny. I'm so
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: focused on the Johnny's It's like, I can't concern myself
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: with the fact Aaron Judge went oero for five. I
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: can't concern my fact the fact with you know boy
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the Mets one and Opening Day, the Inks one and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Opening Day. Right now, Louis, we have bigger fish to fry.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I want to see the Saint John's team make a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: deep run nut just in the Sweet sixteen, but go further,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: like I want to see him do it this.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Year, Alex, I think you might. You might get your wish.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I'm I know they're underdog tomorrow and night six and
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: a half point underdogs. I like that chances tomorrow and
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I I'm not gonna I'm not gonna uh see here
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and say they're gonna win. But first of all, it's
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a fantastic Sweet sixteen double ahead lamorrow, I Saint John's
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and Duke, followed by Michigan State and Yukon. But you
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: know Saint John's for me my observation watching them, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I watched them a lot this year. Uh, they have
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to play better offensively strategically than they did against Duke
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and then they did against Kansas to beat Duke against
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: against Kansas, in my opinion, you know, Saint John's took
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: way too many three point attempts. They took thirty five
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in the game they made twelve. Usually they average twenty
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: one to three point three points a game. You know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Saint John's has to do what they do well. I
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: think they can. I want to think they can beat them.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Sorry, real quick before I forget, and then we'll go
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: back to Saint John's. By the way, they now have
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a collector card for Dylan Darling's major moment. And by
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the way, biggest basket of the college's history the university's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: history of my view. But anyway, Louis, you and I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: were in the same building when IOWA was in the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: insane March Madness back in two thousand and one, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: we never ran into each other. How cool is that
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: that we could say we saw Iowa in the same building,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: NASA Poliseum.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yes we did, we did. I remember that day very well.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And Ten also beat Nebraska that day because Nebraska had
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: never won an NCAA game until until last week. So yeah,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: that is a couple of memories there. But Iowa, I
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: mean alex The best conference in sports right now, in
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: college sports right now is the Big Ten. Whether you're
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: talking about Big Ten football, They've won the last three championships,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: whether you're talking about college basketball, whether you're talking about
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: men's hockey, they had the big ten is God that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: got has going right now. But you know, but getting
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: back to Saint John's, I mean Saint John's is an
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: experienced team. They play great defense. Uh, they are physically
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and mentally tough. I think who's ever officiating tomorrow night
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is key. If they are gonna call touch fowls Saint
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: John's is in trouble, They're gonna let them play Diggy's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: style of refereeing. I think Saint John's has a great chance. Uh,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the way the game is officiated will have an effect
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: on the outcome of the game. I really, I really
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: believe that. And uh you know, uh Zoobi Oka for
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: is gonna have to be at his best, stay out
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: of foul trouble. Hopkins who Bryce Hopkins with the six
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: to three points his last game. Uh, he's veteran. They
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: need him to have another big game. He's an excellent
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: all around player. And I know most people don't think
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: they're gonna win. I think Saint John's has a great
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: chance winning a great chance.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I also think the we talk about Shire verse,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: but we talk about shire before, but now you're saying
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Shire verse. Patino, that's coaching experience. Versus newer coaching experience.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Interesting to see how that pans out as well. So
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it'll be fun. This is what I have you on
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: because you break it down player by player, And let's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: be honest, Lou, not every person knows these guys roster
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to roster, and I think that's partly because the transfer
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: portal or whatever.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, again, looking at the duke end
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: of it, I mean they have great athletes and uh,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the the Booger twins are tremendous.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Cameron is a great all around college basketball.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And might put my analytical hand on Saint John's. Can't
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: keep taking those threes, Lou. That's where they're gonna get
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: sunk if they they keep missing those.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: No. I really hope they don't. I hope they don't
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: just fall in love with a three point shot. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: really don't, you know. So, but uh Caden, uh Kayden
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Boozer has taken over at the point guard is playing
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: very well for him and he can control he can
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: control the game for them. Their bigs are athletic. That's
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: why Zoobie cannot get into foul trouble. He's gotta play smart.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Coaching edge. I don't Shire has done a great job.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: The coaching edge definitely goes to Patino, who's been through
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: these wars a thousand times. I think Saint John's has
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: a chance, tomar and I really do this. This will
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: be no miracle. Uh, this would not be I think
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Saint Johns has a legitimate chance to upset the Duke
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Blue Devils tomorrow.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And I all right, let's be real here for a second,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Louis where I'm right now, company from the Borough of Queens, right,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and I feel like, as much as we're a basketball borough, right,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: it's never really seen on the national Now Patino's getting
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: it on the national stage more. But mid season it's like,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you don't hear what Saint John's is doing. You hear
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: what Duke's doing, what Michigan's doing. Like I think there's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: still that chip on the shoulder of like, yeah, recognize
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: this borough, recognize this program, that it will be there.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: It feels like there's not enough coverage on a national
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: basis until the tournament. And I feel like, you know,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you come into tomorrow, Let's show the world. Let's show
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the borough of the world with the Borough Queens could
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: do in basketball.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you make a valid point. Now there's
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: a couple of reasons I think for that. First of all,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: if you want to compare them to Duke Duke, you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I won five national championships. They have been their national brand.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Let's face it, people root for these college teams not
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: because they're going to go to that that university or
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: they have attended that university. They just root for them
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: as you know, as a sports team. And Saint John's
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: gets lost because they played in New York City. They
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: have not been successful for the last quarter decade, the
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: last quarter century, excuse me, and they get lost with
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the other nine major pro teams in the market, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: there's other college teams in the market. It's that that's
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: that's just how it is now. Coach Beatino has done
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the best to bring that ran back, putting in more game,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: playing more home games at Madison Square Garden. Obviously, he's
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: a high profile coach, so he he's he's a face
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: of the Saint John's franchise. And as we said last
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: week when we were talking with you, n Ryan, in
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: college basketball, unlike the NBA coaches, the face of of
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the college basketball team, you know, whether it. Whether it's
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Bill self or or John Caliparry, you know, we can
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: go right down the line, or Bob or Danny Hurley.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: You know, they are there. They're the faces of their program.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: So Shires the face of Duke's program, even though he's
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: only been there three years, you know, and you saw
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: what happened. How tough the pressure that these coaches at
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: those name brands are. Like Duke in North Carolina, Hubert
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Davis is out after taking them to the final four
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: that that first year as coach. It's a tough job.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: But I do believe that yeah, yes, Saint John's might
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: have a chip on the shoulder, and he has an
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: opportunity for them to you know, nudge some of the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: pro teams, you know, to decide for a couple more weeks.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Is it possible that they were fifth seed in their
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: debit because well, you know, they were fifth in the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: preseason poll and by the way, I think for Saint
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: john should be fifth, which was the first time in
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a long time. By the way that they were in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the top ten in the rankings heading into the season,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I thought they played better than the fifth seed. I
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: don't know why the NCA but do you think that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: was a factor was well, they were fifth when they
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: were in the preseason. Then they maybe the NCAA thought
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: they played that way. I don't understand, Louis.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: No, I would say, no, I'm going to say the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: NCAA blew this. That's all whatever calculations, whatever the computer
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: spit out, the computer was wrong. I believe in the computer,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: but I also believe I was as I said a
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: million times in the eye test, Saint John's was not
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: a fifth seed. There was no way they were a
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: fifth seed. But now they're here, and they got through
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the first weekend, and you know, if they both win.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: He hasn't been here in nineteen ninety nine. And Mike Jarvis,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: by the way, I remember him in the NBA years
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: also like he he went from what Saint John's to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the NBA.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, Yeah, he went to I think
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: he went to Washington for a while, and uh, he
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: was a decent coach. He was a decent coach. But
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: you know, they Saint John's tried with these coaches, but
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Patino is the guy who and we knew he was
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: going to do it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: We don't think And by the way, Lavin was health
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you know, God got Steve Labin for what he's going through.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: He was really turning the program around, I thought, and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: then he got sick and all you know what he
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: did get sick, But he was turning the program around,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I thought.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Right, But he didn't have the impact that Patino had.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Now truth be told, Uh, coach Lavin didn't have Michael
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Paola either pouring in those dollars, and that was that
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: was pre nil and pre you can pay the athletes.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: So that's a whole different that's a whole different ball game.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Purdue survives when they tip in
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: with point seven seconds left over Texas, So that's how
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: they move on to the next to the Elite eight.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Purdue, you know, got to the Final four
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: last year. Looks like they make it back to back
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: their veteran team. Uh. They seem in an era where
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: guys last one year and go to the NBA or
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: go play in Europe or whatever. These these Purdue boiler Makers,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: especially with Lawyer and uh and Brandon Smith probably the
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: best point guard in the country as far, especially with experience,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: they seem like they've been around for six seven years.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Amazing Louis and I talked about this with my previous guest,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Amff for how a lot of these kids make these
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: one one moment shots for them, one shiny moment, I
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: guess is what we call it, yeah, in the tournament,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and then either they don't get drafted, you never hear
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: from him again. It's so interesting how that works out.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It's like some of these kids moments truly are made
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: here and that's why they are at that high committal,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: no to help the team win, but you know, that's
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: their moment, and then who knows what happens after that.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: But a lot of these kids that make these moments
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: don't never get drafted, right, I don't. I don't find
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: that to be the case.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you're exactly right. I mean, we could remember when
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I Isaiah Whitehead had that great run for Seaton Hall
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: and they beat Villanova in the Big East, the Big
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: East Final, and then and he was the MVP of
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: the Big East tournament and he was a tremendous player
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: for Seaton Hall. He was drafted by the Nets, I
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: believe in the second round, but he didn't make it.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: And he was you know, he was a five star
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: recruit that Seaton Hall got you know, and he played
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: two years. He was banged up the first year, so
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: he stayed the second year. But you're right, I mean,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: but that was his one shining moment, you know that
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: they when they won the Big East Championship.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: And then they go out to Denver for the the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: tournament and the elevation got to him. I mean that was.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: And they lost against Zaga and Sabonis had his way
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: with them on the inside. They couldn't handle them.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: All right. We we love Kevin Willard as coach. I
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: thought he was very fiery with snarky, but it looks
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: like his snark is not being treated, you know, it's
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: not being looking as funny anymore. I don't know what happened,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: but like he's just it's like he can't make that now.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I fire half my whole staff. That
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: would be kind of weird to say at halftime. But
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, his snark is not really being accepted nationally
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: right now, if you notice, well, I.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Mean, I guess social media is killing him. But he
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: said it in cheek, he said in jess as you
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: remember he when he was when we had him on
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the post game show when we carried the seat hall games.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: He gave you a lot of He gave you a
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff and uh.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: My favorite is like a two am ending and he
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: just kept going for half an hour.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: He did. And I don't see. Hey, if social media
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: they just want to chirp at him, that's fine. But
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people don't don't like him.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: He's a heck of a coach. I don't think he
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: didn't he he didn't mean he was going to fire
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: his entire staff. I mean, you know, and he did
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: a great job with Villanova this year and I'm sure
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: they'll be even better next year.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I love his recruiting. You know, we saw over the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: years how he recruited. It was I mean, even though
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: you didn't really last long, Jared seen it comes to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: somebody who's a great recruit from for when he was there. Yeah,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: well the Desi Desi and then Delgado and all Yez Delgado.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a nice team.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: They always gives his recruit as well, actually Sterling Gibbs
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: as well, and then Isaiah white Head, who I think
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: went onto the G League for the Nets if I'm
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: not mistaken.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he did any play for nets for a
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: little while, but he did. He didn't make it, you know,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: and he was a five He was one of the
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: few five star recruits that Seaton hold on.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: All right, I never asked you about this. We didn't
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: have a chance to yet. Speaking of G League, just
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: came to mind, Lew in your twenty eight years an
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: NBA executive, did a kid ever play in the G
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: League and then score like eleven points in the NBA
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: that night? I mean, Tyler Koleks doing something I'm not
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: seen ever. I don't remember the last time I said
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I gotta go to the G League and then play
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: in the NBA that night. That's something else.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: So that what that happened today, That happened on Sunday, Okay, yeah,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I I don't recall that. The only thing I saw
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: in the G League that Mac McClung, who who won
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: three straight Slam Dumb Contest even though he wasn't really
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: with an NBA team, scored fifty nine points in the
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: G League the other night, saying a G League record.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: And Matt McClung, who played for Georgetown and for Texas Tech.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I just can't believe that there isn't a spot in
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: the NBA for a kid like that, but I guess
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: there isn't. But give him a little recognition for his
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: fifty nine points record setting G League effort the other night.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And you're a local guy. We always love to highlight
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the local kids in the sense of Big East basketball, because,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: let's face it, I was raised up on Biggest Basketball.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you were, absolutely Yeah who raised up on that?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: And of course they still have the jersey of the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Syracuse Yukon game that went seven overtimes. I mean that
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I missed that Big East a little bit. I missed
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: when Rutgers was in the Big East. I mean, that
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: was a very fun conference back in the day.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still, in my opinion, is still a great
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: conference now. And you know, they had to split from
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: the football teams, and who knows what the futures don't
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: like in college which we don't know. They didn't allow
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Connecticut back in, but they'll and they played football, but
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: they're not they're not going to it's not going to
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: be like it was. I don't believe where they allowed
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: more football teams in. But yeah, no, I can't.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I do you.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: When Boston College and Syracuse and Pitt and Miami were
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: in the Big East and Louisville and Notre Dame. Notre
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Dame should have never left the Big East. They should
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: have never That was a mistake on their part in
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: my opinion.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, Mike Brey still coaches you no longer coach.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I'm he retired. He retired a couple of years ago.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Always had them in the tournament every year and now
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: they're not even in it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: It's right well that they since Bray retired to having
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: having a little issues getting that program where it should be.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: But love this loie. We talk about Big ten, big
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: big fight tonight with the iowaver to Nebraska. I gotta
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: give this programming note. We're gonna have J. Paterno on tomorrow.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna air that episode tomorrow with Ryan and uh,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you know Paterno name and J. Paterno and the whole
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Paterno family, the legacy of Penn State. We also talk
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: about having Penn SAE basketball can get back into this
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: because you barely hear about PENNSA basketball. Here about the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: football team, the hockey team. Now, Gavin was a Gavin McKenna.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: McKenna, they're in the you know, they're in the NCAA tournament.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: And I believe they play tomorrow night in the NCAA Tournament.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: It will be a perfect time to launch the podcast with
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: him and to talk about that, because, uh, it was
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: great we got into the hockey. I love that he's
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: so well versus not just in football, you know that's
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: his past time, but he loves the hockey scene. He
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: was at the Beaver Stadium game for Penn Sate hockey,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: so we talked about that with us, so will air
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that tomorrow. But the Penn Sate basketball, you know, they
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: haven't been in the tournament. I don't remember when the
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: last time they were Do you remember last time?
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I if you, I could not. I do not remember
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: the last time they were in I mean, I do
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: not remember last time they win the tournament.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: So you talked about that a little bit and how
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: they can get back in there, because I'm sure Penn
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Sate fans want to see their basketball team. Their wrestling team,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: of course, keeps winning every year. It seems like they
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: have a solid wrestling team that wins the end Za
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: tournament every year.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: So big wrestling is figh level it is. I mean
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: with Iowa, Iowa's you know has a history or Iowa,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Iowa State, they have this you know, iconic histories when
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: it comes to wrestling well.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: And by the way, that's the thing about this tournament
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: is the Iowas are in it still. I mean Iowa Hawkeyes.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: They haven't had that much basketball success in a little bit.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like Iowa State of courses every year. You
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on them because they just have something
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: about them that keeps them in the tournament every year.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: So both Iowas still in this. So we'll see what
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: happens with that.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Alex A couple of things. As you know, I am
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: not the greatest fan of the World Baseball Classic, and
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: something happened that today or yesterday where Jackson Chario, the
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: great Milwaukee Brewer were young center field who played for
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Venezuela is going to miss the next three to four
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: weeks with a broken a broken hand and a broken
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: couple of broken fingers that he suffered playing in the
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: playing in the World Baseball Classic. Apparently he played through
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: it and it just the X rays didn't show the
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: break at that time. But when the World Baseball Classic ended,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: he was complaining about it and for the testing show
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: that he has broken hand. So again, I'm not a
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: fan of the World Baseball Classic, and I certainly don't
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: want to see any of the guys who play for
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: my team get get hurt in that exhibition series anymore.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Even though some of the baseball games were great, I'm
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: not gonna yeah they were, they were.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, Paul Skins is in town. I know he
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: had a rough out in the day. But maybe you'll
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: have a better maybe you'll feel better on sadday. I
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: don't know, but I'd love to get his take on
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: what that was like watching Bryce Harper's game tire, because
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: in that moment, I felt like everybody was watching and
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Bryce Harper had his moment in that with that game.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Well, me and me and you were two of ten
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: million people plus that were watching a ten eleven million people,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: so a lot of people were into a game, a
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: baseball game in the middle of March. So from that end,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: it was successful. Now another sport that they're trying to
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: make successful, and I think the National football well.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Hold on, I have some burging news. You understand. The
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Olympics are having baseball back. I believe Team USA baseball
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: is playing in the Olympics this year.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: A twenty twenty eight, baseball is back in the Olympics.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: So that's a huge Burgi news. And it'll come on
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the forty the anniversary of Tino Martinez winning gold in
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight. So there's a little nugget for you.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You were mentioning about the Olympics.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Well, another sport that's going to be in the Olympics
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight is flag football. And you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: the NFL has done a tremendous job of making a
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: major commitment to flag football in the United States. And
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: they had this tournament on Saturday on Fox and it
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: did not drow well. It average. It was on from
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: four to eight thirty and there was average six hundred
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: and fifty thousand viewers on Fox, which was lower than
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I thought, and I think lower than they anticipated. But
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: truth be told, it was against it was up against
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: March Madness, you know on CBS and uh you know,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: and turn and and the Turner family of networks. But
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: the NFL, like I said, made a major commitment to
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: flag football. Two point four million people now play flag
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: football in the United States. Twenty million people play flag
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: football worldwide. It's the fastest growing sport in the world.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: It's the second fastest growing sport in the United States
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: behind pickleball. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: United States, up three hundred percent over the last two years.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: But you know, parents who will not sign a permission
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: slip for their kids to play tackle football because of
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: the injuries, the CTE, the concussions. We know, all the
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: deals are pleased about the development of flag football because
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: it's much safer, you know, than tackle football. And it
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter if you're big, if you're small. It takes
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: great skill to play. You have you could be younger,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: and older players can play. Some NFL players who are
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: retired say they want to play in the Olympics in
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. I have no idea what the criteria
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: is for to play in the Olympics for players to
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: be eligible, but apparently, and I didn't watch any of
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: this on Fox, but apparently the experience the Team US
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: said the experienced flag football team against the NFL Stars,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: that the NFL Stars couldn't keep up with them, not
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: because they weren't better athletes as they are, but they
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: knew the nuances of flag football. So I mean, I
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: think that's something to look at. I think eventually there's
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: going to be a professional league in a flag football. No,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: it's not going to replace tackle football, but I think
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: he'll be an alternative. There'll be you know, they'll be boys, girls, men,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: women leagues and divisions. I think that's on the horizon,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: very very very soon. Then it's well organized, well organized.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Now, Alex well, that could help the adaptive community also
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: play sports. You know that flag football, I'd want to
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: play that in a heartbeat, you know, I'd love to
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: do something like that. So we'll have to see. I
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: played a little intramural. I had a couple of snaps
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: in Intramorrow football, which was pretty cool. Intermorrow flag football
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: actually Queen's College, so I have all experience with that.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: But if they made this a national scale, that would
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: be great. Now, you know, I already have tennis in
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the Olympics, but pick a ball I could see with
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the steam that's picked up. Could they ever make it
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: an Olympic sport? Would that be an into the tennis.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: No, I think you probably have both, but I think
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I think pickle ball, yes, I could see pick a
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: ball being an Olympic sport. Down the road. For sure.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: It's better than breakdancing. Louie, so yes, it's better in breakdancing.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: It's bed in boldroom dancing, which I think in the
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: early twenties was there for one Olympics.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: But so, I mean, that's just something to look at.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I could be totally wrong, but it seems like in
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the NFL has done a great job organizing flag football.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: One other thing is we're on a on the NFL.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: It seems like the Jets have had a private workout
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: with ty Simpson. They gave him a private workout, That's
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: what I've heard, and I don't know how it went
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: because it was a private workout and they didn't say
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: how it went. I also heard that the Jets have
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: an interest in Carson Beck, and I like Carson Beck,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: you know, the former Georgia at Miami University of Miami quarterback,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: and I think they might they. I know they haven't
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: interested in Drew a Law or the Penn State quarterback
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: who got injured last year, but that might be somebody
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: that they would take further down if if Carson Beck
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't available, or if they take ty Ty Simpson.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: So interesting, he's twenty three he's the oldest. It feels
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: like one of the oldest college quarterbacks at yes. Yeah,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: but he was in the graduate program that I think
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: he was enrolled in still, and that's how I was
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: able to play.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: That's exactly correct.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the national champion. I thought he looked a little pressure,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: But I loved that kid. I loved him. In Georgia
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: final tournament game, you know, n C Talloy gamer was
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: a little.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: I thought that last past he threw down the left
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: sideline that got picked off. I thought, I thought he
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I thought that was gonna be a touchdown, but the
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: defensive back made a terrifect play and that was the clinching,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: clinching play for Indiana. One other thing I heard from
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: somebody in the NFL, So this is somebody directly who
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: is in the NFL said to me that the Jets
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: might have an interest as a backup quarterback Russell Wilson.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Now this makes sense because I'm not saying I love
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. I you know, I don't. I don't think
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: he can start anymore. But Russell Wilson did not complain
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: when he got benched, did not at the trade deadline,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: did not say to Giant management, trade me. And god knows,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: there was enough contending teams that had injured quarterbacks that
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: could have used Russell Wilson just on experience alone. But
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson one of the reasons why he did not
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: go to the Giants and said, you know, release me,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: trade me is because his wife and him have a
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: lot of business interests outside football, and they like being
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: in New York because it's the you know, it's the
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: epicenter of pop culture of entertainment, and that to be
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: a reason why there might be an interest in Russell
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Wilson wanting to sign with the Jets. I don't know
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: if the Jets interest in Russell Wilson is more than
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's interests in the Jets, but one of my uh,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: one of my contacts with an NFL team told me this,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: and so that's something that's something to look out for.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: So well, let's let's talk about the let's talk about
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: in the same One of the guys in the Giants
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: QB room along with Russell was Jameis Winston. And we
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: didn't cover the Inche game last night, but I wanted
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: to say nbca's covered of today's Mets Opening Day was perfect.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: They showed the opening introduction of both teams. I love that.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I think every opening day you should show the baseline
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: intros for both teams. By the way, but jamis on
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Netflix last night, very funny guy, quite the personality. Did
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: you like the whole presentation for Netflix? Tell us your
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: real Urminela take on that.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: My real terminel take. I'm gonna on this. U uh,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: you know my grade a D and I'm being kind.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: They made mistakes and I'm gonna be honest with you.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I Uh. I left the game and was watching watching
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: all the other other things last night because I I
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: just thought it was poorly just just just poorly executed.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: It was a terrible production. And that seems to be
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: the consensus today with all the media critics. They only,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: they're only they're only doing three games, well three, excuse me,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: they're doing three events over three years. They got they
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: got exclusive opening night for this year last night, and
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: another two years. They had the field of Dream Games
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: this year, and I don't know if there's a field
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: of Dreams Games next year and a year after or
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: some other kind of special event, but they got that
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: special event for next three years. Somebody says it's it's
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: going to be three years of Field of Dream games
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: in Iowa, which is fine, and the Home Run Derby.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: They're paying Major League Baseball one hundred and fifty million
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: dollars for those three events. But Alex, you got it.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: You can't have Hunter Pence and CC Sabathia, two fine
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: major leaguers when you're launching an exclusive opening night game. Yeah,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: you have to. You have to have somebody with a
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: little cachet a John Miller as the play by play guy,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: somebody like that. That's just that's just me. I thought.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I thought it was terrible lesson. I really did. And
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: but again, the most important thing is the Yankees.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: One Barry Bonds pops up, and I'm like, okay, this
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: is interesting because I thought he was persona on groded MLB?
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Like how does he get this? See at the table again?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: You know, And if that's the case, who people are
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: gonna love me for saying this. Put him in the hall.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: If that's the case, if you're gonna treat him, you know,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: bring him on a Netflix You're opening night. I get it.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: It's the Giants. And he had that interesting story about
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: stein Brenner telling him to sign a contract by two
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: PM or right.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now I didn't hear it last night. I heard
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: that this morning. Now, Alex Netflix is paying them one
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars for a limited number of events.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: So they so Major League Baseball turn ahead on Barry Bonds.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: That's what they did. And I'm not saying that Barry
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Bond shouldn't have been there. I'm not saying that he
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have been there. You know, Mark McGuire was a
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: hitting coach, you know, after Yeah, he.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Got back in the league. I thought that was so interesting.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: He was hired by the Marlins, I think, or one
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: of those.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Things, and he you know, so it wasn't either Dodgers
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: hitting coach for a year or two or.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe the Dodgers too.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So again I have no I really have no
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: problem with with with Barry Bonds. I do have a
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: problem with that comedian the Kayak in the pregame show
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: and the picture kept kept breaking up and it was
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: just the production was for I had no idea why
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Jameis Winston was there. I mean he I have no idea.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: You know, he played college baseball. His lifetime batting average
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: somebody said was one twenty eight, So I don't get it.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: But again, everybody's trying to be different. Everybody's trying to
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: trying to be an entertain Uh, you know.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Max Freed. I think that the whole thing. I think
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: he likes it bad against Max Freed at one point
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: in college.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: But I'm sure MaTx Freed got him out.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: But you know, and then the game itself, and we
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: didn't really talk about the Yanks, but we can hear. Yeah,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I could care less what Judge does on Opening Night
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: if we could give the Yanks a win a ring
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: in November. That's my stance. And maybe a reversal of
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: trend where he goes hitless on opening day but brings
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: a ring will be better than going h five or
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: five on opening day and doing nothing in the postseason.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: You know, That's just how I see it.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: And then the other thing is this Caballero. I said
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: it last year. I'm gonna say it again. He's the
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: injection to the Yankee lineup they needed. I really don't
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: know I Volpi's future is going to be when he
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: comes back. It does look a little uncertain, doesn't it.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: You put him on the I l from something that's
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: still been bothering him from last year. I think he'll
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: play again, but he'll be limited.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Louis well, Uh, that was a pretty impressive at bat
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: for Cavaliero his first time up, which put the Yankees ahead.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: And I did see that.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying is he deserves the spot over Volpi.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Even though I would say I would say he does
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: right now. Absolutely so, Uh, you know, we'll see what
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: happens with Volpi when he comes back. I guess he'll
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: be back around May first. I'm sure the kid is
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: working hard. We know Volpi is a hard worker. I
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: am not the Vulti besh or that most Yankee fans are,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: and the most and like a lot of media, again,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: it would be hard to trade him right now because
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: other teams that might have an interest in Vulpi, whether
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: the play a shortstop or even move him the second.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: And you know, he was a year the year the
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Yankees injury special, which is we're not gonna tell anybody
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: until September that he was injured since May.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, you're right there, that's true. But I like
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: the Yankees team, I really do. And I think the
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: American League He's is going to be much tougher this
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: year than it was last year.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: And if it is true that Judge doesn't perform every night,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: but you have eight other guys that can back him up,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: that's so different than what I've seen in the past.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, a couple of years ago, you had Soto
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: right there to support him and all that. But let's
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: face it, with Judge, it was always him or miss.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: At least they have eight other guys that scored seven runs,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: but he was hitless. I mean, that's how that's hopeful
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: right there. I know it's Opening Night, but Louis I
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: said to begin the show, every win in this kind
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: of condensed version of the game is say condensed because
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I was growing up, eighteen nineteen times you're playing your
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: division rival. I mean, that was a lot of times
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: you played them, and that made it a longer season.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: But these twelve times sort of shortened the whole thing up.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Alex, every game counts, every win counts. So let's let's
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: uh before we leave, let's jump to the New York Islanders,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: who played a brilliant game on Sunday night. I must
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: win against Columbus. That's breathing down their neck. This NHL
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Eastern Division playoff phrase is just incredible and Deanands played
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: a tremendous game, wonderful structure. They get an early goal
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: in the first minute by bo Horvat. Sorokan, who should
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: easily win the Vezeno Trophy this year and should get
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of MVP votes, shuts them out. They win
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: one nothing. The black Hawks come in on Tuesday night.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Landers got off to a fast start. They are all
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: over the Blackhawks. They get an early one nothing lead,
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: then they start coughing up the puck, no defensive structure
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: for a period and a half. They're down four to
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: one in the third period. They rally to make it
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: four to three, but the clock runs out on them. Tonight,
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: against a team that can win the Stanley Cup, the
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Dallas Stars, a great hockey team, a deep hockey team
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: with a great goalie and Ottinger, a gold medalist for
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: the United States, the Islanders win two to one. They're
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: winning two nothing until the very end when Dallas pulled
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: a goalie to get an extra skater and they scored
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: with the empty net. But the Islanders held on to
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: win a must game two to one. They beat Columbus,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: they beat Dallas and they lose to a team they
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: should have never lost to. Every game counts, and if
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: you're not focused on every game, it's going to catch
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: up with you somewhere along the line. You can go
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: back to this game, that game, you can go back
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: to a game two years ago. When you know you
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: lost home ice advantage or home field advantage by one game.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna win them all. You know you're gonna
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: blow a couple of games. But the one that the
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Islanders blew on Tuesday is unforgivable considering what they did
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: on Sunday night against Columbus and tonight against uh definite
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup contender in UH on the what's the old edge?
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: You want to beat the teams that are weaker than you.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: That that that's the definition of a strong team.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: So absolutely they got they got cocky, They weren't concentrating.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: They you know, Barzel turned over to Punkin didn't BacT check,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: which led to a Torontoho and before you know what,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: the black Hawks were four to one, no distress. Nobody
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: was checking their man, nobody was picking up their man
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: in his zone. I mean it was it was ridiculous
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: and that that game might cost them a shot the playoffs.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you one thing, Alex. If the is
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: get in, depending on who they play, they're gonna be
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: a bitch to play. I'm gonna want to allay them.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you the interesting part of all this is,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the standings now. The Panthers are not
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: gonna make it. It looks like, you.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Know, the the Panther Panthers are not going to make it.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: And that is quite a dramatic change because you know
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: back to back years and.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Well, you gotta remember, Alex, they they went to the
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup Finals three years in a row. They played
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: about one hundred games three straight years. They've had injuries
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: catches up to you. That's that's what this is. And
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: they'll reset and they'll be a contender again next year.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: The best thing for him for them is that they're
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: gonna have They're gonna have those two extra months off
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: instead of playing to June fifteenth or June thirteenth, or
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: whatever it will be Game seven or the Stanley Cup Final.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: They'll have those two months off.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Wait did they take the did the oiler segment to
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Game seven? Two years in a row.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: No, last year, six, two years ago, seven.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: And the Oilers, I'm looking at them. I mean, they'll
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: be in it, but.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: But the division that they play, and the only reason
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: they're in it is because of the division that they
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: play in. The division's been bad this year.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I love that Utah second year in but you know,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: they were strong last year for part of the year.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Now they're in it.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Now, I think they're going to get in.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be in there in fifth spot
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: right now. And yeah, it's funny Dallas second ranked in
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: the division, in the conference and the Islanders read him,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: but the Blackhawks, who were fifteenth of the conference, that is.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, no, it's that's that's crazy.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: As we say, Louis, that's why we love the game.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: That's yeah, absolutely, because it's played by human beings, not robots.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: And even though I wasn't really thrilled with his cover,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: his announcing, and I know you aren't either, I gotta
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: give props to vescers and for flying across the country.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, I definitely do, and he was he was much
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: better today. I thought today's broadcast did the whole NBC
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: production what was solid?
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: And uh, lou when can I get a free lands
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: gig like that and just fly counts plates the place
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: and do games for different networks? But when does that
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: shot come? And I would love that.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I hope you hopefully you get your chance someday,
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: my friend.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is fun to watch. I love watching
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Kevin Harlan like do basketball and well this tournament, you know,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: he always turns it up for them. But I love
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: during football. He's doing the NFL on Sunday, Monday night,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: then he goes to TNT and does a game on
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: basketball like three days later. So what And Kenny Albert,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: our buddy, Kenny Albert does the same thing. He does basketball, baseball, football,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: It's it's amazing and hockey of course.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I mean, well Kenny did. He did
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: a Ranger game on Monday at the Garden. I was
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: watching a little bit of that. Then he did the
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Columbus Philadelphia game on TNT on Tuesday night, and then
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: last night the Rangers in Toronto at the Guy the Guy's.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: And this is how bad the Rangers are. And none
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: of knock on Toronto, but I guess they scored three
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: unanswered goals against the Rangers and it's like, I can't.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: It's an embarrassment right now, what's happening with the Rangers.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: It's just it's an embarrassment.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: So I tell you one thing. When the season began,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: I thought the Rangers were set up to make to
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: make the playoffs and could could win a couple of
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: rounds or two. I really did.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: We were we were talking how great it was that
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Mike Sullivan joined, and then Paul Crider left a couple
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: of months or a month or so later, and then.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: It's just, well, Crider and Shruber are both going to
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: be in the playoffs.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: And I think I told you, I think that's the
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: best chance for them to get the ring. The Ducks
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: could really do something this year.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: They might be a little young, but uh for this year.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: But they got Alex. They got a heck of a
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: young team. And I'm sure Cryder and Shruber are using,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: in parting a longtime NHL experience on these kids. But
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: they got They got a nice team. The Ducks.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, they went from like whatever last year to fourth
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: rank in the conference this year. So they're doing all right.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: They're doing all right, all right, Louis, Well, enjoy the
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: rest of this March madness.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: I will.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: I was like looking at the scheduled, boy, four games
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, four games tomorrow.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: We are getting down to the nitty gritty and uh
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: and three days we'll have our final four teams.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: And you know what, it's baseball season, which means we'll
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: be in October tomorrow, right, Louis.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: That's it the way at one time to slow down
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Alex a little bit. I wanted to slow down.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I know we have to see each other before the
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: new decade begins.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: And that's right, Yes, we definitely will.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about that, Louis survived five years of
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: this decade.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Already and it's like half way through. It's no, you're right,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: time flies. So yeah, well clich and time flies.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling it now with all this sport. That's the thing,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: you know, February used to be a very blob.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Month for sports.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: It was all of a sudden Now well also that's
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: because the Knicks weren't is good. But with the Knicks
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: good plus the Olympics, it really made it an interesting
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: month again this year.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: So yeah, no, it did.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: When our teams are hot, artsy, that that makes things
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: go faster. I guess. So there you go.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: One last thing that you brought up basketball and that's
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with anything on the court. But but
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: I want to give I want to give this person
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: some recognition. My longtime friend and when we work together
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: at the nets. He's been a voice of the Nets
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: on wfa N and before that war for almost thirty years,
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: and he recently received the highest honor a basketball announcer
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: could receive. He's going to be inducted into the Basketball
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. He Chris Carrino won the Kurt Gowdy
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Award for Basketball Broadcasting Excellence. He's a fantastic broadcaster. I
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: know him. I know him since the mid nineties, and
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: he's a wonderful human being, and he's a wonderful announcer.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: And him and Tim Kapstraw, who has done over two
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: thousand NET games consecutively. He's seen a lot of losses
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years as they've been tanking, but
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: a great broadcast crew. And I just wanted to give
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Chris Carino. Nobody deserves the Kirk Gally Award, which has
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: been won by people like Bob Costas and Kurt Goudie.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: At Jim NaN's well, now I have a perfect reason
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: to drop my photo with Chris Carino from The Barkleys
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: a couple of.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: Weeks go absolutely so congratulations to uh. I love how they.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Rigged it up. So, I mean you mentioned he's in
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: a power wheelchair. Hees, yes, he is, he's mobile, but
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: they rigged it up so he could just easily slide
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: into the play by play. And that to me is accessibility.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: That's adapting a workspace for someone that truly deserves those
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: accommodations and works his ass off every night on the air.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: And I've always enjoyed listening to him on the radio,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: like he's just sort of another voice I grew up with,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: I guess because I remember him doing those net games
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: for a long time now.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, no, he he's a great broadcaster. He's a
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: great friend. He's a great guy. You know.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: And Jim, you never met Kirk Galdi though, right, No,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: I never met Kirk Galli.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: I never did. I never met the great Kirk Gallley.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: You know when in the late in the seventies, Kirk
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Galley did. He was the voice of everything. He was
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: the voice of the Final Four, he was the voice
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: of the Super Bowl, every other year. Why NBC had
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: it and he was voice of the World Series every year.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: And now who has It's funny now who has baseball again?
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: NBC.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: It's almost like full circle with that one.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, it's a good it's a little
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: nostalgic kind of I kind of like that.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: And they have all the old highlights of all the
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: you know, eighty nine. I guess Kirk Gibson's call was
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: on NBC.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was, yes, Kirk Gibson that.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: The game was on NBC.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: I mean wow, just some legendary moments. And of course,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: my buddy Bob Costas has been back on NBC's there
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: tonight with the Dodger game. And you know, I remember
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Team of the Decade and of course that's what he
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: called the Yankees back in ninety eight, and of course,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: and I think he's a team of the century at
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: that point. And of course he called Jeters fan interference,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: which is thirty years ago this year. That's crazy to
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: think about, Louis.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they're lucky they didn't have instant replay in
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: Well, Abs, and I mentioned this, I'm glad you mention
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: that real fast, Abs might actually affect the way umpire
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: training goes. I think that's going to be the effect
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: of this is if there's a percentage where the player
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: is right over the umpire, isn't that going to shift
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: the way these guys are like trained on the game.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's gonna be an impact there.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Well, the one thing they have to do is they
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: got to concentrate, that's for sure, because they know that
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: they can be exposed. And the Mets twice challenged today
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: and both times the home play on Pio was incorrect
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: with his call.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: And let me tell you a guy of like, these
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: guys have been playing ball forever and I seen it
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: at the college level. Two they know what a ball
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: and a strike is, you know, and finally they get
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: to say have a say in it. And I think
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: that's pretty cool because I think a baseball player's right
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: when he says that's a ball or strike. Like maybe
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: it's ego sometimes, but they know the game. They've been
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: at the plate for many years. You know, I'm not
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: going to doubt a baseball player. I'll tell you that much.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: Well, the other thing is you get two challenges, Alex.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: I think it should be unlimited because it takes no time.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: It's not like a replay review. It's it's almost like
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: you know the tennis I you know, if if a
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: tennis ball isn't a shot is in and round, you know,
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: you only get two. I would just make it ten.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: So they have two of those and then how many
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: three other challenges or something like that. I don't even
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: know exactly.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, then you know you get two challenges and
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: then in the seventh or eighth inning it could be
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: a crew chief challenge.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: So as far as if like say, balls out of
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: the ballpark or a fair or foul situation or tag
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: out at second base.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Jim Joyce had that instant review back in the Galarraga
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Perfect Game.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Note, Oh my god, Yeah, that's still there's.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: So many calls that Well, the Santano one was clearly
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: a fair ball, but that was never going to be reviewed, So,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Could would have been reviewed today because it hit in
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: front of it hit in front of the third base bag.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: But again, the worst one is the Jeter fan interference,
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: because that could that changed the whole dynamic of that game, and.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: A Bartman that would have been an interesting challenge. How
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: that would have gone that.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: Would have been Yeah, that would have been an interesting challenge.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: But I think, uh, you know, I think you got
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: to use all his video evidence he can in sports
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: that to get it right now. The thing is that
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: we're jumping around here before we get off. But the fan,
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: the goaltender interference has to be taken. They gotta take
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: a they gotta look at this again. I don't know
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: what goaltender interference is anymore. I really don't. Uh. The
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Islanders got hit with a goaltender interference that definitely looked
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: like the Columbus defenseman pushed anders Lee into the goaltender
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: and they said, no, I don't know what they were
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: looking at in Toronto. But then the next night that
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: same play it can be called a good goal. I
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: don't know what they're looking at, Alex, So I think
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: that's something they got to look at.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: So well, till next time, louis all right, Bud, we'll
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: we'll do this again, and uh, by next week we'll
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: have a final four matchup set and we'll also have
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: you know, NFL draft rumblings, tike eating up and and uh,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: well may recap the first week of baseball after or
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: the first week in.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: A be It will be exciting. Yeah, I'm looking forward
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: to it. And Alex, thank you as always. I appreciate.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: And replica Ringo Saturday. Will you because I'll pick you
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: up if I can.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Hey, I appreciate that you were there.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Man, you were at those games.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: I was. I was at those games. The greatest sporting
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: event and it could probably that'll be topped is Game six.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: I've been to a lot of great sporting events, but
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: that one was surreal.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: And people forget, you know, people forget the Red Sox
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: were up in both of those games. They were even
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: up in Game seven.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: Three nothing in Game seven, and then the great Keith
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Hernandez with the two runs single to make it three
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: or two. The Mets eventually tie it up, and then
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: right now I hit the home run to make it
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: four to three. The Mets were a couple more runs
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: than ending the bottom of the seventh to make it
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: six to three. You thought the Red Sox were dead.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: The Red Sox came back with two runs in the
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: top of the eighth to close it's six to five,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: and then Story hit a home or two run home
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: run to make it eight five, and Rosco sent them
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: down in order in the top of the ninth.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: I know, you don't really see highlights from the seventh
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: game except for the Erosco throw of the glove. I mean,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: it's interesting you really only see Game six and then
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: the Erosco and you almost think it's all the same night.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: But it's two different nights.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's two different nights. It was Saturday night and
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: then it was Game seven was supposed to be Sunday,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: but Game seven got rained out and they played on
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Monday night.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Also NBC, if I'm not mistaken.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: AC correct. Yeah, well, and.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: The eighty nine earthquake was game was NBC as.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Well, because albe the eighty nine earthquake was ABC.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: It was ABC, Okay, McCarver, michaels him. All right, Louis,
