0:20
Speaker 1: I haven't played a video game in a long long time. Man,
0:23
Speaker 1: I cannot remember the last time. Taylor plays him all
0:25
Speaker 1: the time. I think he watches people playing video games,
0:28
Speaker 1: which is crazy to me.
0:29
Speaker 3: Well, one video game he does not watch. Anybody plays
0:31
Speaker 3: Call to Duty?
0:32
Speaker 4: Call to duty?
0:36
Speaker 5: Call it to duty sounds like you have to take
0:37
Speaker 5: a crap?
0:41
Speaker 4: Is that what I call it? Yes, thank you for
0:45
Speaker 4: always being there for me.
0:46
Speaker 5: I'm here for you.
0:49
Speaker 4: I mean I tried to be there for you today
0:51
Speaker 4: with ban even though.
0:52
Speaker 1: I disagree with every single word that's come out of

Speaker 4: I do. No, you don't, Yes I do.
1:05
Speaker 1: Let's go down Stigott Street as you like to call
1:08
Speaker 1: it before we get to our game here, so is
1:11
Speaker 1: he Let's start. We played this sound yesterday This is
1:14
Speaker 1: the Bills general manager, and again this is a street
1:16
Speaker 1: where everyone lies to each other. This is Eric Tacosta
1:20
Speaker 1: talking about how gutted he feels about having to go
1:23
Speaker 1: back on the Max Crosby deal.
1:25
Speaker 6: Nobody's more upset about this than me. Gutted by it
1:28
Speaker 6: actually a big regret for me. But we will move
1:31
Speaker 6: on as a football team, and I think there's many
1:33
Speaker 6: many opportunities for us to grow as a team, to
1:35
Speaker 6: become a better team, to build a roster, and to
1:37
Speaker 6: be the team that we want to be.
1:39
Speaker 5: I don't want to be accused of not being here
1:41
Speaker 5: for you, stud But whose GM was it?
1:44
Speaker 4: That was the Ravens GM?
1:45
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, just making sure, Okay, what did I
1:48
Speaker 1: say the first time?
1:49
Speaker 5: That's unimportant. You're not trying to pick the Bills.
1:54
Speaker 4: Did I get his name right? Though? I think I
1:56
Speaker 4: did right.
1:58
Speaker 1: Listen, he says he's gutted, he's he knew exactly what
2:01
Speaker 1: he was doing. He was on the phone, which Ray
2:04
Speaker 1: Hendrickson say, agen as Max Crosby was in the building
2:07
Speaker 1: getting a physical, So.
2:08
Speaker 4: That is lie number one.
2:09
Speaker 1: Here is Mark DeRosa, the manager of Team USA, explaining
2:16
Speaker 1: that he did kind of know the rule, and knew.
2:19
Speaker 4: That his team hadn't advanced yet.
2:21
Speaker 7: They went into and Oh, we went into and O.
2:23
Speaker 7: We knew they were playing Mexico the next day. We
2:26
Speaker 7: knew there was tiebreaker rules involved. So I can understand
2:30
Speaker 7: the questions about lineup and pitching situations we were up against.
2:35
Speaker 7: You know a lot of guardrails with regards to teams,
2:39
Speaker 7: the deployment of certain relievers, how many pitches they can use,
2:43
Speaker 7: whether they can go back out, whether they can clean
2:46
Speaker 7: up innings, and you're just trying to piece it together
2:49
Speaker 7: in real time.
2:51
Speaker 3: Nonsense. He knew there were rules, is what he's saying.
2:56
Speaker 5: There. Nobody's saying that he didn't know that there were rules.
2:59
Speaker 4: What we're saying he.
3:00
Speaker 5: Didn't know what those rules were because he said things.
3:04
Speaker 3: Out loud that proved that before the game, and then
3:07
Speaker 3: played the same way or managed the same way. So yeah,
3:12
Speaker 3: I mean, why do that you already advanced, Take the
3:15
Speaker 3: l on the chin and move on. Just say, hey,
3:18
Speaker 3: don't have to worry about that anymore, right because it's
3:20
Speaker 3: elimination time, So just have fun with it instead of
3:24
Speaker 3: lying about it and sounding small.
3:26
Speaker 1: Frankly, it does sound small. You have to own up
3:30
Speaker 1: to it. I'm not certain what I do in that spot.
3:32
Speaker 1: It is so embarrassing. He doesn't want to give up.
3:35
Speaker 1: I understand what he's trying to do. He doesn't want
3:37
Speaker 1: to give off that he is in charge of the
3:40
Speaker 1: United States baseball team and he doesn't know the rules.
3:44
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to admit it. He doesn't want to
3:45
Speaker 1: acknowledge it, and so he's trying to come up with
3:48
Speaker 1: kinda he's trying to circumvent it a little bit.
3:51
Speaker 4: By saying I knew exactly what was going on, but
3:53
Speaker 4: he did it.
3:53
Speaker 8: We all know that this one is so much more
3:56
Speaker 8: insulting of a lie because even in the SnO, if
4:00
Speaker 8: he understood that, if he actually understood what he's saying,
4:05
Speaker 8: then the justification is I just gave Paul Goldschmidt a
4:08
Speaker 8: charity start over Bryce Harper in a game that we
4:12
Speaker 8: needed to win.
4:13
Speaker 4: Right, but I knew the situation.
4:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't insult our intelligence. We already know you're the dummy.
4:19
Speaker 1: Yes, so as he here's our third piece of audio here,
4:22
Speaker 1: because I like to do things in threes, Here is
4:25
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray his introductory press confidence with the Minnesota Vikings.
4:29
Speaker 1: I think I got the name right. I think I
4:31
Speaker 1: got the name of the organization.
4:33
Speaker 5: Right.
4:33
Speaker 4: This is Kyler Murray being asked.
4:36
Speaker 1: If he plans, if he intends, if his thought is
4:39
Speaker 1: he's going to be the starter.
4:40
Speaker 9: Do you view this as as you're coming in as
4:42
Speaker 9: the starting quarterback? Do you view this as a competition?
4:45
Speaker 4: Yeah?
4:45
Speaker 10: No, Like I said, I'm just great for the opportunity,
4:47
Speaker 10: grateful for the opportunity. You know, I look forward to
4:51
Speaker 10: coming and competeing and getting to learn the offense, getting
4:53
Speaker 10: to be with coach O'Connell. Obviously he's had a lot
4:56
Speaker 10: of success. And again, I'm just looking for looking forward
4:59
Speaker 10: to the opportunity I'm in here and competing.
5:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not looking forward to the opportunity to compete.
5:04
Speaker 1: He is looking forward to starting for the Minnesota Vicakes.
5:07
Speaker 1: That's what he wanted to say. But that's good press
5:08
Speaker 1: conference from your quarterback right there, right.
5:10
Speaker 5: It is?
5:11
Speaker 4: It is?
5:11
Speaker 3: And did he actually lie because I don't remember what
5:14
Speaker 3: the question was exactly, but his answer was yeah, no,
5:16
Speaker 3: So he has given you.
5:18
Speaker 4: Both of them. I do that all the time.
5:20
Speaker 1: In fact, if I was Sam could just isolate the yeah, no,
5:25
Speaker 1: that would be that would be fantastic. I let me
5:28
Speaker 1: know if you can do that. I it was Sam,
5:30
Speaker 1: I have no confidence in throwing it to you right now?
5:34
Speaker 9: Do you view this as you're coming in as the
5:36
Speaker 9: starting quarterback? Do you view this as a competition?
5:39
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, Like I said, I'm just grateful, just the yeah. No,
5:44
Speaker 4: just the yeah.
5:45
Speaker 11: No.
5:45
Speaker 5: View it as a competition, yes and no.
5:48
Speaker 4: There's your right. Do you think Kyler Murray views himself
5:51
Speaker 4: as a starter right now? Like day one? He is
5:53
Speaker 4: the day one starter?
5:54
Speaker 1: Because why would you bringing Kyler Murray to do anything
5:57
Speaker 1: other than start. You're bringing in Kyler Murray because you're
6:00
Speaker 1: not confident in your quarterback, JJ McCarthy.
6:03
Speaker 3: At what point would we believe that Kyler Murray lost
6:06
Speaker 3: confidence in himself? The only thing I could think of
6:08
Speaker 3: is after the knee injury, right because we talked on
6:12
Speaker 3: the pod the other day and I talked to you
6:13
Speaker 3: about all of his accolades, going forty two and zero
6:16
Speaker 3: in high school, doing everything that he did early on
6:18
Speaker 3: with the pros. You know, obviously the year at Oklahoma
6:21
Speaker 3: playing behind the number one pick in Baker Mayfield.
6:24
Speaker 5: Right before that.
6:25
Speaker 3: We know a guy that time after time after time
6:28
Speaker 3: after time has proven to himself and others that he
6:32
Speaker 3: is probably an elite.
6:34
Speaker 5: Quarterback, like it has that skill set.
6:36
Speaker 4: Right.
6:36
Speaker 3: Yes, things fell off with Arizona. Yes, his coach changed,
6:40
Speaker 3: his approach changed, their approach to him changed rather in
6:43
Speaker 3: terms of a little bit more short passes and stuff
6:45
Speaker 3: like that and not trusting him as much. But he
6:49
Speaker 3: wouldn't have lost his confidence, right, he would have continued
6:52
Speaker 3: to think. He see which everyone is right? Which everyone
6:57
Speaker 3: you choose to agree with me, I'll take Then. Yeah,
7:00
Speaker 3: I think he's going to a place that has skill
7:02
Speaker 3: position talent, that has a coach with a reputation that
7:06
Speaker 3: works well with his quarterbacks, and he's probably thinking to himself,
7:09
Speaker 3: I might.
7:09
Speaker 5: Have the best year I've ever had.
7:11
Speaker 8: So, speaking of the game called a duty stude, there's
7:14
Speaker 8: people that believe that if Call of Duty never came out,
7:17
Speaker 8: Kyler Murray might be a Hall of Fame quarterback.
7:19
Speaker 4: He might be. Yes, yes, but is he?
7:21
Speaker 1: We were saying earlier when we taped God Bless Football
7:24
Speaker 1: that Kyler Murray is one of those guys that you
7:26
Speaker 1: just hate as an athlete. Like if you work really
7:29
Speaker 1: really hard at your craft and Kyler Murray comes strolling
7:33
Speaker 1: off eighteen hours on the couch playing call for duty.
7:38
Speaker 5: That's a different game.
7:39
Speaker 1: But he can be on He could be on his
7:42
Speaker 1: couch for eighteen hours and you are out there grinding
7:45
Speaker 1: and working and grinding and working and in strolls. Kyler
7:48
Speaker 1: Murray right off the couch after playing eighteen hours of
7:51
Speaker 1: video games.
7:52
Speaker 4: And he's the best athlete on any field he walks on.
7:55
Speaker 1: And that's why people are frustrated with Kyler Murray because
7:57
Speaker 1: if he actually paid attention, he cared about his crab,
8:00
Speaker 1: he could be the best quarterback of all time.
8:02
Speaker 4: Yeah.
8:03
Speaker 3: I kind of live this example because I dropped the
8:06
Speaker 3: yano at the same time I see you, I was Sam.
8:09
Speaker 3: I kind of lived this example because my partner's five
8:11
Speaker 3: to five and about forty pounds overweight and still the
8:13
Speaker 3: best athlete when we go out and play football, and
8:15
Speaker 3: it really.
8:16
Speaker 5: Ticks me off.
8:16
Speaker 4: Yes, I play golf. Of the ones.
8:18
Speaker 1: He drove me crazy. He was hitting three hundred and
8:21
Speaker 1: thirty yards. I mean he was like Scotti Scheffler.
8:24
Speaker 5: Out there, not consistently, but he could do.
8:29
Speaker 4: Who is the coach?
8:29
Speaker 1: By the way, is there a coach for you that
8:32
Speaker 1: gets assigned like all the great stuff, winner, champion, leader
8:37
Speaker 1: of men? And it drives you crazy, because for me,
8:40
Speaker 1: it was always Phil Jackson, the most overrated coach in
8:43
Speaker 1: the history of sports, Phil Jackson. Eventually someone was going
8:46
Speaker 1: to win with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippett, and eventually
8:50
Speaker 1: someone was going to win with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal.
8:54
Speaker 1: And yet we sit here and act like Phil Jackson
8:56
Speaker 1: is the greatest coach in the history of sports. And
8:59
Speaker 1: I am telling you right now, the guy who is
9:01
Speaker 1: in close second for me is now Kevin O'Connell.
9:05
Speaker 4: Big Kevin O'Connell, What has he ever done?
9:09
Speaker 1: As seriously, as Taylor pointed out, and God bless football,
9:13
Speaker 1: the next playoff game that Kevin O'Connell wins is the
9:16
Speaker 1: first playoff game that Kevin O'Connell is gonna win as
9:19
Speaker 1: the Vikings head coach. He has not developed a quarterback.
9:22
Speaker 1: In fact, what he has done is he just so
9:24
Speaker 1: unclear because he gets a sign quarterback whisperer Guy okay,
9:29
Speaker 1: And I hate that he is the expert on quarterbacks. Well,
9:32
Speaker 1: he had Sam Donald. Sam Donald had to start because
9:35
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy went down. Sam Donald fourteen and three got
9:39
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and they lost in the playoffs. Why
9:44
Speaker 1: because that guy is their coach. Okay, so Sam Donald,
9:47
Speaker 1: he has a decision to make do I keep Sam
9:50
Speaker 1: do I go forward with Jj? And he says, you
9:52
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna let Sam walk out the door.
9:55
Speaker 1: Sam goes wins a super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks.
9:59
Speaker 1: So oh, he could have won a super Bowl with
10:02
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, even though he had justin Jefferson, even though
10:06
Speaker 1: he had Flores considered to be one of the best
10:08
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators in the NFL.
10:10
Speaker 4: So we couldn't get it done with Sam. And what
10:13
Speaker 4: he also couldn't do.
10:14
Speaker 1: Is develop the quarterback that he drafted in JJ McCarthy.
10:19
Speaker 1: And yet we sit here and assign all these attributes
10:21
Speaker 1: positive ones to Kevin O'Connell when he has done absolutely
10:26
Speaker 1: nothing as the head coach of the Vikings.
10:29
Speaker 3: It's such a great point because we've assigned so many
10:34
Speaker 3: quarterback whisperer labels to guys, right, and I start to
10:37
Speaker 3: lose track. I was like, who's responsible for what? How
10:39
Speaker 3: are there this many quarterback whisperers? And so tried to
10:43
Speaker 3: go back and figure out exactly who it was that
10:45
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell is getting credit for and it's Matthew Stafford
10:50
Speaker 3: when he was a coordinator. Sorry, I'm pretty sure Matthew
10:54
Speaker 3: Stafford did not need to be whispered to. I mean,
10:55
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he was throwing for five thousand yards
10:58
Speaker 3: in Detroit and then it.
11:00
Speaker 5: Was Kirk Cousins.
11:03
Speaker 3: Did he really figure out anything with Kirk Cousins or
11:06
Speaker 3: his Kirk Cousins just played slightly better under him. I
11:09
Speaker 3: don't see the quarterback whisper really in his resume.
11:13
Speaker 8: So, Stu, you asked the question, what coaches are overrated?
11:17
Speaker 8: I have a nominee. Doc Rivers parlayed one Celtic title
11:21
Speaker 8: with that Big Three into like eight more coaching jobs.
11:24
Speaker 4: Yes, and nineteen broadcasting jobs.
11:26
Speaker 3: Yes, dude, And he was gifted the most well fitting
11:34
Speaker 3: big three in the history of big threes, and that
11:37
Speaker 3: team was an absolute monster also almost lost in the
11:41
Speaker 3: first round.
11:42
Speaker 1: You notice what he did there, Taylor well fitted perfectly
11:45
Speaker 1: fit because Spose wasn't. And so he was trying to
11:48
Speaker 1: make the point, Well he wasn't, and that's the point
11:50
Speaker 1: you were trying to make.
11:51
Speaker 4: Was it is that fair?
11:53
Speaker 9: No?
11:54
Speaker 4: It was.
11:54
Speaker 3: It was just a jab at Doc Rivers because there
11:57
Speaker 3: have been some other big three that aren't exactly ideal
12:01
Speaker 3: and you know whether they worked out or not, but
12:04
Speaker 3: they those in particular were It's just like a perfect fit.
12:07
Speaker 8: We also talk about that Celtics Big three like they
12:10
Speaker 8: were some like massive dynasty.
12:12
Speaker 9: They won one title.
12:13
Speaker 3: That's because, I would say probably because of KG injury.
12:17
Speaker 3: Like right after that first one, there was a couple
12:19
Speaker 3: of years there where you saw them in the playoffs
12:20
Speaker 3: and we're like, man, if this team was healthy, they'd
12:22
Speaker 3: probably run it, uh you know, win it again. But yeah,
12:25
Speaker 3: it was it was unfortunate. I think Doc probably coached
12:29
Speaker 3: his best right then. It's not like he's a bad
12:31
Speaker 3: coach or anything, but he definitely overrated.
12:33
Speaker 5: That's a great call.
12:34
Speaker 1: But there's a number of coaches who could have won
12:36
Speaker 1: with that big three. I mean a number. It probably
12:38
Speaker 1: would have won.
12:39
Speaker 3: More, right Yeah, again, if if KG was healthy, I
12:42
Speaker 3: think even Doc would have won more. But yeah, I
12:45
Speaker 3: think that's that's probably a coach's dream in that situation,
12:49
Speaker 3: to go KG, who wants he's crazy about defense and
12:53
Speaker 3: your best player.
12:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a good ad.
12:55
Speaker 1: Janeller, He's he's going to get upset at me asking
12:58
Speaker 1: this question. Who's big three was more disappointing the Celtics
13:02
Speaker 1: or the Heats.
13:06
Speaker 3: You always anticipate me getting upset when I'm not really
13:09
Speaker 3: gonna get upset because I could argue, Yeah, go ahead
13:12
Speaker 3: and argue, because I could argue that the Miami's Big
13:14
Speaker 3: Three was a smart a slight disappointment because you say,
13:18
Speaker 3: at least three out of four they should have had,
13:20
Speaker 3: if not four in a row. But you gotta go
13:23
Speaker 3: with the Celtics one. But again, you gotta throw some
13:26
Speaker 3: context in there. They weren't fully healthy. But I would say, yeah,
13:29
Speaker 3: for all the credit that team gets, just the one
13:31
Speaker 3: title probably leaves you wanting more.
13:33
Speaker 4: I would say it's the Heats.
13:35
Speaker 1: I know they won two, they went to four NBA Finals,
13:39
Speaker 1: But before you even bounce a basketball, you get on
13:42
Speaker 1: stage and you announce the world that you're gonna win.
13:45
Speaker 4: Five, six, seven, eight.
13:48
Speaker 1: That Big three is when you have Lebron and Way,
13:51
Speaker 1: two of the top ten basketball players of all time,
13:54
Speaker 1: and you get two in four years. It should have
13:56
Speaker 1: been better than that. It should have been four consecutive
13:58
Speaker 1: NBA titles. You know that, you know it should have
14:00
Speaker 1: been four straight.
14:01
Speaker 3: To me, I think it should have been three, and
14:03
Speaker 3: that last one. Those Spurs were not going to be denied.
14:06
Speaker 3: I don't care if you put Michael Jordan Chamberlain and
14:09
Speaker 3: Lebron James on that team. Those Spurs were not going
14:11
Speaker 3: to be denied. But I think that first one against
14:13
Speaker 3: Dalla is definitely a disappointment.
14:15
Speaker 4: Taylor has a nominee. Here, go ahead, Taylor.
14:18
Speaker 9: I don't have a nominee. I just said, let's go
14:20
Speaker 9: to break.
14:25
Speaker 4: Ready to take I'm sorry? Is to go ahead?

Speaker 1: get us started.
15:16
Speaker 3: You're gonna start with me, and I just switched mine up.
15:18
Speaker 3: And now I'm scared to death by it because during
15:20
Speaker 3: the break, you guys gave me all these warning signs
15:23
Speaker 3: and said, don't you dare say anything bad about Scotty Scheffler.
15:26
Speaker 3: His hive will attack. And I'm like, what Scotty Scheffler
15:29
Speaker 3: has like a bayhive out there? And so I did
15:32
Speaker 3: like a little Google search about his fan base and
15:35
Speaker 3: I see a story from just last year that says headline,
15:38
Speaker 3: why don't golf fans love Scotty Scheffler.
15:41
Speaker 5: So I feel like you guys are giving bad information.
15:43
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna say it is confidently you're ready?
15:45
Speaker 4: OK? Go ahead? Wow? Dangerous? YEP? Is it just me?
15:49
Speaker 5: Or has Scottie Scheffler lost it?
15:53
Speaker 4: Wow? Here's the thing.
15:55
Speaker 5: I'm playing a little over the top on that. But
15:58
Speaker 5: it's not just that he's you.
15:59
Speaker 3: Know, finish I think fourth, third, twelfth, and twenty fourth
16:02
Speaker 3: in its last four tournaments, and in this tournament won
16:04
Speaker 3: over so he's eleven shots back. I don't know what
16:07
Speaker 3: the cut line is, but it's probably not looking.
16:09
Speaker 5: Great for him.
16:10
Speaker 3: And so the thing about these golfers that are just
16:13
Speaker 3: great that just on the top for a while, like
16:16
Speaker 3: Jordan Spieth, I remember even at Dustin Johnson a Jason Day,
16:20
Speaker 3: they just kind of they just kind of fall off.
16:23
Speaker 3: And to me, even the three guys that I mentioned
16:26
Speaker 3: probably still in their prime when it happened a little bit.
16:28
Speaker 3: So I'm like, is this the first side of Scotty
16:31
Speaker 3: Scheffler's You know, his dips might last a little longer,
16:34
Speaker 3: and you're not gonna see the guy who was on
16:36
Speaker 3: top of the world the last couple of leeks.
16:38
Speaker 5: It's just me or it's not a declarative sentence.
16:42
Speaker 1: No, I understand that if we don't see you on Monday,
16:45
Speaker 1: and now we know why, I mean.
16:47
Speaker 4: Because scottis fan base, man, they will come after you. Man,
16:50
Speaker 4: damn byer.
16:51
Speaker 5: Does Scotty Scheffler have this level of fan base? Should
16:54
Speaker 5: I be scared?
16:55
Speaker 12: Not?
16:55
Speaker 5: Maybe not the level that you thought.
16:58
Speaker 13: However, I do think that your take is interesting because
17:01
Speaker 13: last night Live from the Players Championship spent about fifteen
17:04
Speaker 13: minutes breaking down on Scotty Scheffler is not in the
17:07
Speaker 13: positions that he needs to be honest swing when he
17:09
Speaker 13: was winning multiple majors in a year, when he was
17:12
Speaker 13: winning two Masters in a span of three years, So
17:15
Speaker 13: is he well, I wouldn't put him in the Jason
17:18
Speaker 13: Day category because Scotty Scheffler has put himself up in
17:21
Speaker 13: a different category than a lot of other contemporaries. He
17:25
Speaker 13: is not on top of his game right now and
17:27
Speaker 13: is yeah, hovering around the cut line right now at
17:29
Speaker 13: TPC Sawgrass Stu.
17:30
Speaker 9: You know this as well as anybody.
17:32
Speaker 8: Once you start counting out Scottie Scheffler, that's when he strikes.
17:35
Speaker 4: Yeah. And if that.
17:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you cut him out, he counts himself in.
17:41
Speaker 1: The better comparison would be Jordan's speed. That would who
17:44
Speaker 1: won a bunch of make years early in his career, okay,
17:46
Speaker 1: and then fell up because the other guys were just
17:48
Speaker 1: they were one time winners and they kind of just
17:51
Speaker 1: fell off after that.
17:52
Speaker 4: Now Jason Day is slowly coming back.
17:54
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson won his and then went to live and
17:57
Speaker 1: he's never coming back. Let's go to our bord out Ricardo,
18:04
Speaker 1: bord Oup Ricardo, go ahead.
18:06
Speaker 14: Is it just me or after the America's number one
18:11
Speaker 14: sport went off of a couple of weeks ago.
18:14
Speaker 4: Does anyone notice that there's still hockey being played?
18:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, as a Florida Panthers fan whose team is just
18:21
Speaker 3: barely out of the cellar in their conference, Yeah, no,
18:25
Speaker 3: I haven't been paying that close attention.
18:28
Speaker 1: There's three times in my lifetime there was a supposed
18:31
Speaker 1: resurgence of hockey.
18:33
Speaker 4: Hockey is going to boom in the United States.
18:35
Speaker 1: It was nineteen eighty, it was after Tjoshi's goals in
18:38
Speaker 1: that shootout, and it was recently when the United States
18:41
Speaker 1: beat Canada and the Olympics.
18:43
Speaker 4: And it hasn't worked and nothing will work.
18:45
Speaker 8: When the USA beat Canada, the hockey season could have
18:48
Speaker 8: just ended right there?
18:49
Speaker 5: Are you declaring hockey dads?
18:50
Speaker 4: Two guys? Yes, Taylor put it on the pall.
18:55
Speaker 1: When the USA beat Canada, should the hockey season have
18:57
Speaker 1: ended right there?
19:01
Speaker 4: That's a good question. Let's go to Let's go to.
19:06
Speaker 4: Iowa said, I almost called the portop Iowa.
19:08
Speaker 14: Satisfying where we're both portops ioabio Iowa?
19:14
Speaker 4: Bam? Is it just oh? I like it? Is it
19:17
Speaker 4: just me?
19:17
Speaker 14: Are there too many damn rounds on the Big Ten
19:20
Speaker 14: Men's Conference Basketball tournament. Steve Gotts, you've been there in Chicago,
19:24
Speaker 14: observing it, reporting on it firsthand. I don't think we
19:28
Speaker 14: need Maryland, Oregon, Penn State in Northwestern to start this.
19:31
Speaker 14: They're they're including all eighteen teams. There's three rounds before
19:34
Speaker 14: you can get to the quarterfinals. Like last year Iowa Nebraska.
19:37
Speaker 14: We're battling to stay out of the cellar just to
19:39
Speaker 14: participate in the conference tournament. I don't understand why we're
19:42
Speaker 14: back to including everybody. It goes on way too long.
19:44
Speaker 14: Even if you were in the first round, there's no
19:46
Speaker 14: way you're gonna win six games to win the conference tournament.
19:49
Speaker 14: So get rid of that. Go back to the top
19:51
Speaker 14: fourteen teams. Whatever it is, there's too many damn rounds.
19:53
Speaker 14: The rent is too damn high.
19:55
Speaker 4: Is it just soo many words? Yeah? Too many words?
19:57
Speaker 4: So ready words? Is it just me? Good? Lord?
20:01
Speaker 2: Man?
20:02
Speaker 4: Now I was Sam.
20:02
Speaker 1: I would tell you if you were here and you
20:05
Speaker 1: could feel the pulse, so you could feel how excited
20:08
Speaker 1: everyone in for the Big ten tournament, you would wish
20:11
Speaker 1: that it would never end four round.
20:12
Speaker 14: I heard that there was like five hundred people at
20:14
Speaker 14: Penn State Northwestern, Okay, and the Northwestern's in the backyard
20:18
Speaker 14: of the Big Ten tournament.
20:19
Speaker 13: Nobody there. A lot of conferences have third rounds. They
20:21
Speaker 13: just call them semi finals. And that's the problem. There's
20:25
Speaker 13: six rounds in this Oh, there's the third round and
20:27
Speaker 13: now we're in the quarters.
20:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Iowa bam just took fifty shot attempts.
20:32
Speaker 4: Right volume shooter.
20:38
Speaker 3: I will say, good for the game, though, good for
20:40
Speaker 3: the game. If we're still talking about it, is he We're.
20:43
Speaker 4: Still talking about this goddamn thing.
20:46
Speaker 1: Let's go to an update. Anchor, Dan, Update, anchor, Dan,
20:49
Speaker 1: go ahead?
20:49
Speaker 13: Is it me or did we miss the greatest audio
20:53
Speaker 13: that we have gotten recent memory because of what happened
20:55
Speaker 13: with bam Adebayo, what happened with NFL free agency, what
20:58
Speaker 13: happened with the World base Ball Classic. Because Kansas State
21:02
Speaker 13: was ousted in the first round of the Big twelve
21:04
Speaker 13: men's basketball tournament earlier this week, and interim head coach
21:08
Speaker 13: Matthew Driscoll was asked in the postgame a sort of
21:11
Speaker 13: a softball question, what have you taken from these last
21:15
Speaker 13: couple of weeks? Being the interim head coach in place
21:18
Speaker 13: of the dismiss Jerome Tang. This is how Matthew Driscoll responded.
21:22
Speaker 9: Absolutely miserable.
21:25
Speaker 15: I can't use another word than absolutely miserable.
21:28
Speaker 5: Every day ulcers, not sleeping, not feeling good.
21:34
Speaker 4: I have an issue.
21:34
Speaker 9: I have a problem.
21:36
Speaker 13: It goes on for ninety seconds and he gets he
21:39
Speaker 13: gets more in depth, but just the absolutely miserable, as
21:43
Speaker 13: I think something that all of us can well when.
21:46
Speaker 3: People say that money doesn't solve all your issues, apparently,
21:50
Speaker 3: if all these coaches are feeling absolutely miserable, I think
21:53
Speaker 3: they're taking that. They're taking the money and saying I'll
21:55
Speaker 3: deal with the misery.
21:56
Speaker 9: Absolutely miserable.
21:58
Speaker 5: I have a problem.
21:59
Speaker 1: He said, Right, but if you want to be the
22:03
Speaker 1: permitent head coach, this is not the way to sell yourself.
22:07
Speaker 5: What the money's for?
22:08
Speaker 1: I guess, Oh my god, all right, let's go to
22:10
Speaker 1: executive producer. That was well done, Dan, Executive producer, Jason,
22:14
Speaker 1: Go ahead, EP, Jason.

23:53
Speaker 4: That can't be come.
23:54
Speaker 3: We talked about this and the or at the top
23:56
Speaker 3: of the show where we would have a power.
23:58
Speaker 5: Ranking of quarterbacks since Genos.
24:00
Speaker 3: I was like, yes, can you say power because there's
24:03
Speaker 3: just you just ranking them.
24:04
Speaker 5: There's no power any.
24:07
Speaker 1: Yes, I would say Mark Sanchez is the greatest Jet
24:10
Speaker 1: quarterback we've had since Geno Smith was last the Jets quarterback.
24:14
Speaker 9: You got the order wrong.
24:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, I's gonna say franchise's before Geno Smith.
24:17
Speaker 4: Lucky for you?
24:18
Speaker 9: Do I do have the power ranking?
24:20
Speaker 1: Woh no, wait wait Gino Smith was there his first
24:23
Speaker 1: time as in New York Jet before sitt It wasn't
24:25
Speaker 1: a am I na get that wrong?

24:32
Speaker 4: Big ten basketball. Okay, that's fun. Yes, that's what I've

27:50
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
27:53
Speaker 2: Live Weekday, said three pm Eastern, twelve pm Pacific.
28:00
Speaker 1: This is an exciting Friday here. I'm in Chicago covering
28:03
Speaker 1: the Big Ten tournament for Fox Sports Radio Premiere Networks,
28:08
Speaker 1: and iHeart.
28:10
Speaker 4: While you're laughing.
28:11
Speaker 5: Is he so you have all the details ready?
28:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christopher mad Dog Russo is going to join us
28:20
Speaker 1: at around four twenty. We're very excited for that. We
28:23
Speaker 1: love having Doggy on the show. I have some sound
28:27
Speaker 1: to play for Israel Goudyeirez. But I a met today
28:31
Speaker 1: by Israel Goudieirez, who was still talking about Bam at Abayo.
28:36
Speaker 1: Bam spoke for himself. He did so on the Dan
28:38
Speaker 1: Patrick Show. I will play that sound for you in
28:40
Speaker 1: just a second. Is he But you were really focused
28:43
Speaker 1: on the Eric Spolstra angle of this story, and I
28:47
Speaker 1: find that to be equally as interesting I do. I
28:49
Speaker 1: think Spoe is a guy who hasn't been very vocal
28:52
Speaker 1: and has kind of found his voice here in the
28:54
Speaker 1: last five days. It's been interesting to see.
28:57
Speaker 4: Well.
28:57
Speaker 5: I mean, I would say he found his voice a
28:59
Speaker 5: long time ago.
29:00
Speaker 3: This was just the first time you've heard it in
29:02
Speaker 3: any sort of significance because he hasn't been super relevant since,
29:06
Speaker 3: you know, making the finals a couple of years ago.
29:09
Speaker 5: So I would say that.
29:11
Speaker 3: Hearing that voice, that defiant voice, that is spo and
29:14
Speaker 3: that's what he's grown into, and that's the type of
29:19
Speaker 3: messenger that people should respect. Two time champion obviously four
29:23
Speaker 3: times or one, two, three, four, five, six times finals
29:27
Speaker 3: appearances as a coach, and what he said about Bam,
29:31
Speaker 3: I hope we have that ready. But what he said
29:33
Speaker 3: about Bam to me just shows how prepared he is
29:37
Speaker 3: for these moments, regardless of what the subject is.
29:41
Speaker 15: Basketball wise, I apologize to absolutely no one. And you know,
29:49
Speaker 15: going into the game, you know it's a Tuesday night
29:52
Speaker 15: game against a team, whether they're not playing for anything,
29:56
Speaker 15: whether organization is trying to lose, we've already lost game.
30:00
Speaker 15: You know, in that kind of situation, we have players
30:04
Speaker 15: that are sitting out. And I spoke to Bam about
30:07
Speaker 15: I want as our best player on team captain for
30:10
Speaker 15: him to be locked in and ready, and he sure was.
30:15
Speaker 3: So there's a couple of things I take out of that.
30:17
Speaker 3: Is one, and it's a little bit of an extension
30:19
Speaker 3: of what I was saying the other day, is when
30:21
Speaker 3: if you were in that building or just watching while
30:23
Speaker 3: it was all happening, just how engaged everybody was. Every
30:28
Speaker 3: fan was from the challenge late in the game that
30:32
Speaker 3: was unnecessary to the free throws and everybody was locked in.
30:35
Speaker 4: It was fun.
30:36
Speaker 3: It was the engagement that you want from your fans.
30:40
Speaker 3: And this is what the Miami Heat tried to do
30:42
Speaker 3: all the time. They don't, as Eric Spolster pointed out
30:45
Speaker 3: about the other team, try to lose. And so we're
30:49
Speaker 3: here for you guys, and we know that if I
30:53
Speaker 3: would have taken them, being exposed to taking them out
30:54
Speaker 3: at seventy nine eighty eighty one, even that the fans
30:57
Speaker 3: would have been disappointed, The fans would have been off.
31:00
Speaker 5: Come on, let them do it.
31:01
Speaker 3: So if the fans wanted it, and certainly Bam wanted it,
31:04
Speaker 3: it was an obvious choice.
31:06
Speaker 5: The other thing I take out.
31:07
Speaker 3: Of that, Bam U Stu is if you remember the
31:11
Speaker 3: other day on the pod, I was talking about how
31:13
Speaker 3: the exit of Jimmy Butler and e Donnis has them.
31:17
Speaker 5: Spoe doesn't have his crazy anymore.
31:19
Speaker 3: He doesn't have that that feeling of just like I
31:22
Speaker 3: could say anything and it's going to make them go
31:25
Speaker 3: three levels higher because they believe in it like that,
31:28
Speaker 3: Like you almost have to talk like this when when
31:30
Speaker 3: you're getting that message across they don't have it anymore.
31:34
Speaker 5: They didn't have it anymore. They have it now.
31:36
Speaker 3: And that person that that the negative feelings from across
31:41
Speaker 3: the country, whether it be the media and Tim McMahon's
31:44
Speaker 3: or whether it be the Kobe fans, they they have
31:47
Speaker 3: stirred something up in him and those players in that
31:50
Speaker 3: locker room that gives them something to fight against, and
31:54
Speaker 3: that is something they haven't had since Jimmy drove them
31:58
Speaker 3: to the finals or led them to the finals. Be
32:00
Speaker 3: interesting to see how that translates going forward.
32:03
Speaker 4: Taylor, did Israel forget my name? What happened there?
32:06
Speaker 5: Yeah?
32:07
Speaker 9: I think he called you bam.
32:08
Speaker 4: He did call me bam. Don't think you and he
32:10
Speaker 4: called me bam. I mean I.
32:12
Speaker 5: Almost called you bam. Yeah, I almost called it.
32:14
Speaker 3: That's because you're over there and I just I'm so
32:16
Speaker 3: used to you being right, across from here.
32:18
Speaker 5: I'm sorry I forgot Yes, go ahead.
32:20
Speaker 9: St I'm going to make a ruling here.
32:23
Speaker 8: The fact that we're still talking about a regular season
32:25
Speaker 8: game seventy two hours later.
32:28
Speaker 9: Yeah, good for the game. This is good for the game.
32:30
Speaker 5: Thank you.
32:30
Speaker 4: Yes, very very very good for the game.
32:33
Speaker 1: Kobe's record getting broken, the guy who broke the record?
32:36
Speaker 4: What was that? Sam? What happened? Stop?
32:38
Speaker 3: That was the sound was a gavel? Very well timed,
32:42
Speaker 3: very well dropped. I'm sorry that you couldn't hear that.
32:44
Speaker 3: It was worth a chuckle.
32:45
Speaker 4: Well, if I knew it was coming, I would lay
32:47
Speaker 4: out for it, you know, broll, this is Iowa.
32:49
Speaker 3: Sam's always juggling back there. It's spinning plates. But stud
32:54
Speaker 3: do me a favor, just so I don't pull my
32:56
Speaker 3: hair out, and people you know listening, don't pull the
32:59
Speaker 3: hair out. Don't call it a record because it wasn't
33:02
Speaker 3: a record. Understand that it wasn't a record. Israel. I
33:06
Speaker 3: don't want to get bogged down on this.
33:08
Speaker 1: Okay, you have your feelings about it, you're a title
33:10
Speaker 1: to have those feelings.
33:11
Speaker 5: Of more, this isn't a feeling.
33:12
Speaker 4: This is just a fact.
33:13
Speaker 1: It's not okay, Well, facts whatever, and there are people
33:15
Speaker 1: who feel passionately the other way. The person I wanted
33:18
Speaker 1: to hear from all week was Bam, and Bam appeared
33:21
Speaker 1: on the Dan Patrick Show.
33:22
Speaker 4: And the reason I want to play this for you.
33:24
Speaker 1: And the audience is when you hear it from Bam
33:27
Speaker 1: and you hear how much he respects Kobe Bryant, how
33:31
Speaker 1: much he respects the game, I think it's going to
33:33
Speaker 1: change a lot of people's opinion.
33:35
Speaker 4: So here's Bam on earlier with Dan Patrick.
33:38
Speaker 11: If it was the other wall round, Kobe would have
33:41
Speaker 11: been like, I'm shooting but whatever. I and to be
33:46
Speaker 11: in that conversation as your idol is what to me
33:51
Speaker 11: makes it. I'm appreciative of it because it's my idol.
33:54
Speaker 4: It's somebody who I grew up.
33:56
Speaker 11: Watching the game like I grew up watching him, understanding
34:01
Speaker 11: what he's still for, and that man was he will
34:05
Speaker 11: tell you I'm chasing Jordan, whatever record he's trying to get,
34:08
Speaker 11: I'm trying to break it. And obviously you know I
34:12
Speaker 11: got the opportunity to do that. Like I said, if
34:15
Speaker 11: the dead could talk, I will. I firmly believe he'd
34:18
Speaker 11: be like, congratulations, young fella, like you did some I
34:22
Speaker 11: thought nobody could could even reach for the next forty
34:26
Speaker 11: fifty years.
34:29
Speaker 4: So I find that to be.
34:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I find that to be I find that to
34:33
Speaker 1: be very interesting because you have your listen, you're hearing
34:36
Speaker 1: from the guy who actually did it.
34:38
Speaker 4: Right.
34:38
Speaker 1: This is not Spolstra, this is not the Laker fan base.
34:41
Speaker 1: This is not Christopher mad Dog Russo, who's going to
34:44
Speaker 1: join us in hour number two and probably take a
34:46
Speaker 1: sledgehammer to all your opinions about what Bam did. This
34:50
Speaker 1: is not me, it's not Taylor, it's not mikey A,
34:52
Speaker 1: it's not Woes. This is Bam talking about breaking Kobe's
34:57
Speaker 1: record and how much Kobe means to him, and his
35:00
Speaker 1: first point, he is right. If Kobe were going after
35:03
Speaker 1: this record, he would be relentless and trying.
35:06
Speaker 4: To get it.
35:06
Speaker 1: And I know it's not the record because the record
35:08
Speaker 1: belongs to Welt even though no one saw it.
35:10
Speaker 4: So as you hear that, you think what to yourself.
35:13
Speaker 3: Well, I think a couple of things, and it sort
35:15
Speaker 3: of extends what Taylor's point was earlier, just about it
35:18
Speaker 3: being good for basketball is if you actually pay attention
35:22
Speaker 3: instead of just you know, saying, oh, Kobe doesn't have
35:25
Speaker 3: second place anymore? What am I going to do with
35:28
Speaker 3: my life? You'll see a player who has developed who
35:32
Speaker 3: is basically an NBA rags to riches story in terms
35:37
Speaker 3: of ability right, and to be able to do anything
35:41
Speaker 3: in the vicinity of Kobe Bryant in terms of offense
35:45
Speaker 3: is good for the game. For that to be rewarded,
35:49
Speaker 3: but for that to be shown, for that for everybody
35:52
Speaker 3: to see, look what this person developed into, not only
35:56
Speaker 3: just the player. It's good that that organization, the Miami Heat,
35:59
Speaker 3: who has that reputation, can say, look, look what we do.
36:03
Speaker 3: We do good things for the sport. We turn and
36:06
Speaker 3: keep our fans happy, even if we're by other people's
36:08
Speaker 3: standards irrelevant or you know, middle of the pack. We
36:11
Speaker 3: try to keep our fans happy. And look what we've
36:14
Speaker 3: developed in this Captain Bam out of Bayo, who we
36:16
Speaker 3: have said firmly from day one isn't going anywhere, He's
36:19
Speaker 3: going to be ours.
36:21
Speaker 5: Look what happened. And when you hear him with that.
36:23
Speaker 3: Proper perspective and still having the proper admiration for Kobe Bryant,
36:28
Speaker 3: what are you gonna do other than just hate for
36:30
Speaker 3: no reason?
36:31
Speaker 4: You're for it. Yeah, it doesn't matter.
36:36
Speaker 1: You could hear it from Bam and you're still gonna hate,
36:39
Speaker 1: and you're still gonna disagree. And that's how passionate people
36:42
Speaker 1: were about Kobe Bryant, and how passionate they are about
36:46
Speaker 1: what the heat did to get Bam past Kobe Bryant.
36:49
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Tylor.
36:50
Speaker 8: It feels like nobody could agree what the actual scoring
36:53
Speaker 8: record is. Some people have it Will at one hundred,
36:56
Speaker 8: but some people are saying we didn't see that. Some
36:59
Speaker 8: people are putting an asterisk next to Bam and giving
37:01
Speaker 8: it to Kobe. Still, I'm gonna go on the record
37:05
Speaker 8: here my scoring record Carmelo Anthony scoring sixty two at
37:09
Speaker 8: Madison Square Gardens too, because I think if you score
37:12
Speaker 8: at Madison Square Garden you start with plus forty. So
37:15
Speaker 8: that record to me is really one hundred and two
37:17
Speaker 8: points from Carmela.
37:19
Speaker 1: I'm not certain mine isn't. Willis reed with four points.
37:22
Speaker 1: Just the fact that he came into that game, played
37:24
Speaker 1: the game, gave him a couple of buckets, a few
37:25
Speaker 1: good minutes, and got the hell out.
37:27
Speaker 4: I mean, so he was the catalyst to them winning
37:29
Speaker 4: it all. Yes, So I start with the forty.
37:31
Speaker 3: Forty plus four to forty four, but doing it in
37:33
Speaker 3: that setting of a game seven at one hundred, I
37:35
Speaker 3: think it's one hundred.
37:36
Speaker 5: And forty four points in that game?
37:39
Speaker 4: Is he?
37:39
Speaker 1: It is laboul lab funny that fans get upset all
37:42
Speaker 1: the time about stars not playing, about stars playing less
37:46
Speaker 1: minutes than they used to play, And now we're getting
37:49
Speaker 1: upset because a player had the audacity to want to
37:51
Speaker 1: stay in a game and try to break a record.
37:54
Speaker 3: I would say the person I'm most disappointed is in
37:58
Speaker 3: is Victor Winbinyama, because he has positioned himself as the
38:02
Speaker 3: guy who gets it right.
38:05
Speaker 5: He is basketball.
38:06
Speaker 3: Listen to what he says, He's got good perspective, not
38:10
Speaker 3: on this. He didn't like this sounded a little petty
38:12
Speaker 3: when he was just like, yeah, I saw it, but
38:15
Speaker 3: didn't actually see it. He saw the box score because
38:16
Speaker 3: again he was playing that night, Yes, and yeah he
38:20
Speaker 3: Normally he'd be a guy that would give proper respect,
38:23
Speaker 3: maybe not over the top, but give proper respect for something,
38:26
Speaker 3: especially a big guy. Right the alien that is Victor
38:29
Speaker 3: winbin Yama. And you see another center doing what he's doing,
38:32
Speaker 3: pulling up for threes and stuff like that. Was that
38:36
Speaker 3: was questionable. If I if I was Victor Winbinyama, or
38:39
Speaker 3: if I was his people, I'd say this is inconsistent
38:42
Speaker 3: with who you're presenting.
38:45
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That is eight
38:47
Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine on Fox. I am told Taylor
38:51
Speaker 1: has a power ranking of Jet quarterbacks since Geno Smith?
38:56
Speaker 4: Is that accurate? Yep? Yeah, my god, I got not wait.
38:59
Speaker 1: Listen, this is what a Friday sports radio show is
39:02
Speaker 1: all about. Christopher mad Dog Russo power ranking of Jet quarterbacks.
39:07
Speaker 1: Since you know Smith was last there and is he
39:10
Speaker 1: coming up to the next segment, I am going to
39:12
Speaker 1: take you for a stroll down my favorite avenue. It's
39:17
Speaker 1: called Stu Gott's Avenue. It's a street where everyone lives
39:20
Speaker 1: and all they do is lie to each other.
39:24
Speaker 5: Sounds like a terrible place.
39:26
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, it depends on your perspective. Eight
39:29
Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That is eight seven
39:31
Speaker 1: to seven ninety nine on Fox. So it was nice
39:33
Speaker 1: to hear from Bam there, right, because, like I get tired,
39:36
Speaker 1: we all discussed this stuff and we don't hear from
39:38
Speaker 1: the horse's mouth, and so that's a great job by
39:41
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick and Todd Fritz for getting Bam on the
39:44
Speaker 1: show and a great question by Dan Patrick. And it's
39:47
Speaker 1: nice to hear Bam because I think that will soften
39:49
Speaker 1: this a bit for Laker fans, because they are the
39:51
Speaker 1: fan base that is really the most fired up about
39:54
Speaker 1: what happened here with Bam, and because they love Kobe Bryant.
39:58
Speaker 1: But I love hearing from the guy who actually did it.
40:01
Speaker 1: And then what you hear is, oh, he respects Kobe Bryant,
40:04
Speaker 1: and this man is a good guy who loves the
40:07
Speaker 1: game of basketball.
40:08
Speaker 4: I just find it interesting, you.
40:09
Speaker 3: Know, Yeah, And it is great to hear from him.
40:13
Speaker 3: I liked what he said. I want to say it
40:16
Speaker 3: was after the game last night when they beat Milwaukee.
40:19
Speaker 3: He was like, with nine minutes left, you don't think
40:22
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go for it if I have seventy He's like,
40:24
Speaker 3: with one minute left, two minutes left, maybe, but with
40:28
Speaker 3: nine minutes left, of course, I'm gonna go for it. Now,
40:30
Speaker 3: there are people who do counter that and say, you know,
40:33
Speaker 3: Kobe sat with sixty at the end of the third quarter,
40:36
Speaker 3: and yes, that's fine at the end of.
40:38
Speaker 4: A third quarter.
40:39
Speaker 3: If you're Kobe Bryant and you know you're gonna get
40:41
Speaker 3: another chance at that, right because you know you're gonna
40:44
Speaker 3: shoot that many times.
40:45
Speaker 5: However, whenever you want.
40:46
Speaker 3: Bam was going to have one opportunity, saw it right
40:49
Speaker 3: in front of him and took it. And I have
40:50
Speaker 3: zero problem with that. I do have more problems with
40:53
Speaker 3: like the Lakers announcers trying to be smart Alex about
40:57
Speaker 3: this and listen to this. I don't know if you
40:59
Speaker 3: saw it yesterday. Maybe we can get the sound at
41:00
Speaker 3: some point later today. But he came out after scoring
41:04
Speaker 3: fifty one with about a minute and forty seconds left,
41:08
Speaker 3: and rather than just say, hey, Luca's got fifty for
41:11
Speaker 3: the first time in the Lakers uniform, the announcer decided
41:13
Speaker 3: to say he's not chasing any records.
41:16
Speaker 5: As if Luca could have scored thirty.
41:18
Speaker 3: Points in a minute forty like it's the most ridiculous
41:21
Speaker 3: thing I've ever heard.
41:22
Speaker 5: It was just straight up hating from the Lakers announcers.
41:25
Speaker 3: And he actually did stay in to score his fifty
41:27
Speaker 3: one points so that he can get fifty. But no,
41:29
Speaker 3: he's not chasing any record. Just nonsense, Stop hating on
41:33
Speaker 3: Bam out of Baio.
41:34
Speaker 4: It'd be nice if he chased an offensive player on defense.
41:37
Speaker 5: I think, thank you Stuve.
41:40
Speaker 3: You'll say something when he's complaining to the referees. Don't
41:42
Speaker 3: say something when he's scoring fifty and leaving the game
41:45
Speaker 3: with a minute forty. Don't have any sort of reference
41:48
Speaker 3: to Bam and has nothing to do with him.
