- 1:53Speaker 4: supposed to be going up, this one.
- 1:54Speaker 5: We're supposed to have a lot of built in energy
- 1:57Speaker 5: and we're supposed to rise up. But yeah, especially uh,
- 2:02Speaker 5: I'm going to the ballpark tonight. I'm gonna have to
- 2:03Speaker 5: muster up some energy or by that, I mean a
- 2:05Speaker 5: nap at some point as well.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Nice.
- 2:10Speaker 3: I did notice it depends like early in the week,
- 2:12Speaker 3: how much sleep equity you get early.
- 2:14Speaker 2: There's such a thing asleep.
- 2:16Speaker 3: But if you get it in there early, you know,
- 2:19Speaker 3: you you can kind of be ahead of the game
- 2:20Speaker 3: a little bit for the rest of the week. But
- 2:21Speaker 3: if the debt, like you said, the debt is there
- 2:24Speaker 3: sitting there wondering yesterday if these winds were gonna take me,
- 2:26Speaker 3: take me down?
- 2:27Speaker 2: When I was just taking a step out. It was
- 2:29Speaker 2: so windy.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Yesterday was crazy, you know, just trees shaking around like that.
- 2:33Speaker 2: And I'm like, all right, well, I don't think I'm
- 2:35Speaker 2: taking a nap right now? You know, lost power? Yeah,
- 2:39Speaker 2: power right right?
- 2:40Speaker 5: If we'll win the gusts to blow me uh asleep.
- 2:43Speaker 5: That was the one moment when after the lights went on,
- 2:46Speaker 5: I like, well, no, TV, might just well take a nap.
- 2:50Speaker 5: So it works out pretty well, yeah, and we'll hopefully
- 2:52Speaker 5: hopefully what's the fire back up? Well, did you lose
- 2:54Speaker 5: total power? I guess now there's nothing else to do.
- 2:56Speaker 5: I was like, Wow, it's either that or drive to
- 2:58Speaker 5: the Potawatami sports books. So I'm not two birds, one
- 3:01Speaker 5: stone LOOSEI parlays and then fire back up.
- 3:03Speaker 2: You're on it to exactly. They're always on now.
- 3:05Speaker 3: I did realize yesterday because that one of those little
- 3:07Speaker 3: flicker of powers situation where it would like flicker off
- 3:10Speaker 3: and go back on. You realize in your in your domicile,
- 3:15Speaker 3: you know, in your household, who the real dogs are
- 3:17Speaker 3: and what I mean, like, all right, the power flickers right,
- 3:21Speaker 3: and the microwave resets the time, but the oven doesn't.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Oh interesting, and the coffee machine doesn't. So it's just
- 3:28Speaker 3: pretty interesting to kind of like in that just fling
- 3:30Speaker 3: about that fleeting moment of power. I'm like, all right,
- 3:34Speaker 3: now I know, now I know when it comes down
- 3:36Speaker 3: to who the real dogs are in this house, I mean,
- 3:38Speaker 3: including the microwave can't handle a little bit. It's like
- 3:41Speaker 3: they can't handle it. And that built that is pretty interesting,
- 3:44Speaker 3: isn't it. The microwave is a paper tiger maybe, sort
- 3:47Speaker 3: of like the Pistons, like the uh, well, the Penguins
- 3:53Speaker 3: won last night, and.
- 3:54Speaker 5: I was gonna say, Penguins one last night and watch out,
- 3:57Speaker 5: don't don't let them get hot.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Who knows with a young fly squad.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Conspiracy theories were flying last night because series were extended. Yeah, sure,
- 4:05Speaker 4: the Nuggets got off the deck in one a game and.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Yeah right, and Chris uh Scott Foster could only be
- 4:10Speaker 2: in one one series. The extender can only be there
- 4:12Speaker 2: one time. The extender can be in one time.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they call them the extender from when
- 4:16Speaker 3: it's when it's unnecessary, right hey.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Conspiracy theories fly around.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Now when you got another guy being investigated for new
- 4:23Speaker 3: and you know, you know, gambling addiction and then the
- 4:26Speaker 3: new new charges on Terry Rose. Here, it's on the
- 4:28Speaker 3: top of everyone's mind. I feel like so and now
- 4:31Speaker 3: everyone's sitting there thinking, oh, okay, well, was there a
- 4:33Speaker 3: conspiracy here? Is there is there some inside job here?
- 4:36Speaker 3: You know, not me, but the internet things that way,
- 4:39Speaker 3: not me.
- 4:39Speaker 4: Just everybody. Yeah, we got let's go. Let's go just
- 4:45Speaker 4: inside the mind of.
- 4:47Speaker 2: So.
- 4:48Speaker 3: I love to you know, if you keep that thing
- 4:50Speaker 3: open long enough, you will find something full disclosure hour.
- 4:53Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, the I thought it was interesting. Yesterday I
- 4:57Speaker 4: learned something opres new waves, new words. I had never heard, like,
- 5:01Speaker 4: you know, bomb cyclone hit and we got the storm.
- 5:03Speaker 4: O oh it's a bomb cycle. Oh hey, bomb cyclone
- 5:06Speaker 4: And that was the hot thing. I had never heard
- 5:08Speaker 4: of a wakeflow oh till yesterday.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I don't even know about this.
- 5:12Speaker 4: The wakelow is when we had this, it was the
- 5:14Speaker 4: storms were rolling in and they're like, oh, they're they're
- 5:17Speaker 4: diminishing in power, which is good for us, right, because
- 5:19Speaker 4: we've had enough severe weather. They're like, tornado chance is
- 5:22Speaker 4: very low, diminishing in power. But behind the line of
- 5:25Speaker 4: decaying storms, something happened with the winds and stuff that
- 5:30Speaker 4: it caught energy on its own and it churned and
- 5:32Speaker 4: it's like the wake low the decaying storms brought in
- 5:35Speaker 4: winds of seventy seven.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Miles an hour at the airport.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Crazy trees just uprooted, falling on cars, falling off streets.
- 5:42Speaker 2: And just insane winds.
- 5:44Speaker 3: It's insane. It's insane. What this What Mother nature can do?
- 5:47Speaker 3: You look at like, you know, you look at a tall, strong,
- 5:50Speaker 3: old tree and you think, man, there's no force. There's
- 5:53Speaker 3: no force that can pull the roots out of this tree. Right,
- 5:55Speaker 3: it's been here forever. It's just massive.
- 5:58Speaker 2: You know.
- 5:59Speaker 3: Obviously if you're tries to push on it, it's it's
- 6:01Speaker 3: it's a big stone. It's a big you know. But
- 6:04Speaker 3: then the wind can uproot a tree. We all have
- 6:06Speaker 3: that buddy.
- 6:06Speaker 5: It's just like we all have that buddy walking back
- 6:08Speaker 5: at to and so I.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Bet I can do this, you know. Yeah, it's just
- 6:14Speaker 3: it is pretty incredible.
- 6:15Speaker 5: The force of no Now you soak it up with
- 6:16Speaker 5: eight inches of rain over the last two weeks, it
- 6:19Speaker 5: might might be one of the biggest.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Soil is pretty saturated as trees or the roots are
- 6:25Speaker 4: ready to roll. But man, it's just it was bizarre
- 6:28Speaker 4: because it wasn't predicted. Usually they can tell you, well,
- 6:30Speaker 4: it's gonna get pretty gnarly, Like they didn't know this
- 6:33Speaker 4: was coming.
- 6:33Speaker 2: It's kind of just popped up. Baden said.
- 6:35Speaker 3: It was about the amount of energy that comes, like
- 6:38Speaker 3: if it's fueled enough, if the rain stops, and then
- 6:41Speaker 3: like the certain type of air can fuel the energy
- 6:43Speaker 3: enough in the atmosphere, it can fire up more, you know,
- 6:46Speaker 3: severe stuff. And I don't know. That's why I'm glad
- 6:49Speaker 3: we have local mediologists, experts.
- 6:51Speaker 4: We're hanging around the fifties and sixties, and it dawns
- 6:54Speaker 4: on me today that you know, we are three days
- 6:58Speaker 4: away from May. Like what happened to April? Yeah, it blinked, blink,
- 7:02Speaker 4: and you missed it right on. I mean maybe it
- 7:04Speaker 4: was because we had all that severe weather kept us occupied.
- 7:07Speaker 4: It just seemed like, wow, okay, well that's gone.
- 7:09Speaker 2: I just flew by and only two days away from
- 7:12Speaker 2: the Just.
- 7:13Speaker 4: And I say this, Yeah, that's right too. Boy, those
- 7:16Speaker 4: gonna still hit the same this year, don't think so?
- 7:18Speaker 4: We're still doing them this year?
- 7:19Speaker 2: A good question. It's it's a little bit of a year,
- 7:21Speaker 2: is he Chris had Star Wars at the moment?
- 7:24Speaker 4: Brewers had Star Wars Night a couple of days ago,
- 7:26Speaker 4: And it's because they're out of town on May the fourth.
- 7:28Speaker 2: But like that meme and.
- 7:30Speaker 5: Yeah and the up lake and that, you know, also
- 7:33Speaker 5: Star Wars mean one went away with a light when
- 7:35Speaker 5: the opponent's pitcher uses the force honey for six and
- 7:38Speaker 5: two thirds ghost nearly perfect on Friday.
- 7:42Speaker 4: What the Pirates do last night took another perfecto into
- 7:45Speaker 4: the seventh.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Perfect Maybe they are different.
- 7:48Speaker 4: No one's done that all year, and that they have
- 7:50Speaker 4: the second time in four nights they're taking a no
- 7:52Speaker 4: hitter into.
- 7:53Speaker 2: The seventh thing.
- 7:53Speaker 3: A lot of aprils in my life I've wondered, is
- 7:55Speaker 3: this baseball team different this year?
- 7:57Speaker 2: You know? But maybe the Pirates are different?
- 7:59Speaker 5: Well, I mean no, that same old Pirates because they
- 8:01Speaker 5: still found a way to lose a something that would
- 8:04Speaker 5: be the Pirates way of going about it. But again,
- 8:07Speaker 5: it's like it's a in the time space warp.
- 8:10Speaker 4: And I don't know if it's just social media, if
- 8:11Speaker 4: it's me getting older, but man, the Masters and think
- 8:15Speaker 4: back to like, okay, opening Day was a month ago.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Out, Yeah, that's the one. I mean, you are talking
- 8:20Speaker 2: about being a month into the baseball season and it
- 8:23Speaker 2: just does not feel like that at all at all.
- 8:25Speaker 4: And the Masters seems like it was you know, hey,
- 8:27Speaker 4: Rory won, right, Yeah, that was pretty fun Sunday And
- 8:30Speaker 4: I kind of thought it seems like a million years ago.
- 8:32Speaker 4: I kind of thought the lack of the Bucks being
- 8:34Speaker 4: into the playoffs would make the month go by a
- 8:38Speaker 4: little slower, because it did not at all. If anything,
- 8:42Speaker 4: maybe it's gonna have it go by faster, which would
- 8:44Speaker 4: be nice because we already had that news in and out,
- 8:47Speaker 4: Like you mentioned, we're gonna have press conference at some point.
- 8:49Speaker 4: I would assume this week to announce Taylor Jenkins and
- 8:52Speaker 4: then that's all done, wrapped up. Isn't it well, I've
- 8:56Speaker 4: I guess I guess I was gonna say, isn't it
- 8:57Speaker 4: weird that there's been like silence of what are they
- 9:00Speaker 4: still crossing t's and dotting eyes or did someone have
- 9:04Speaker 4: a planned vacation that they couldn't be at the presser,
- 9:06Speaker 4: and so they you know, or somebody's at a wedding
- 9:09Speaker 4: and like, okay, well someone's kids, something's happening, something that
- 9:13Speaker 4: makes you wonder on that front. But then I say
- 9:16Speaker 4: to myself, well we've not yet heard.
- 9:19Speaker 2: From Jonathan again.
- 9:20Speaker 3: End.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's.
- 9:22Speaker 4: Going the way of Charles Woodson, because when the Packers
- 9:24Speaker 4: signed Charles Woodson, there was like no press release ever officially.
- 9:28Speaker 4: It's like we're still waiting for that press release on
- 9:29Speaker 4: the Charles sign. He just showed up, a camping, showed up,
- 9:33Speaker 4: and Pepper's was just a post.
- 9:35Speaker 3: If you remember when Julius Peppers signed, it was just
- 9:37Speaker 3: a post and he was in Lambeau.
- 9:38Speaker 2: I think they had a press he ended up doing as.
- 9:42Speaker 4: They did a press release, and just like but it is.
- 9:45Speaker 2: It's mystifying the Woodson won surprising because that, yeah, that
- 9:48Speaker 2: was a huge transfer that was pre.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Social media and it was a basically and it was
- 9:53Speaker 3: a monster transaction for a team that needed any kind
- 9:55Speaker 3: of good press, right because.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Except for far still being there, that was a bad team.
- 9:59Speaker 2: So yeah, but was.
- 10:00Speaker 5: It the greatest press at the moment when when Chuck
- 10:03Speaker 5: came in. I mean, at that point he was not
- 10:05Speaker 5: the he was not the darling that he walked out
- 10:08Speaker 5: as right like.
- 10:08Speaker 3: He was still a big name of a player, but
- 10:11Speaker 3: the there was I guess it's still to think now
- 10:14Speaker 3: there was maybe an off the field question of like
- 10:16Speaker 3: or attitude question.
- 10:17Speaker 2: I just did off the big time attitude question.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Then it was then the story came out, Well nobody
- 10:21Speaker 3: else wanted what's it? And we're the only team to
- 10:22Speaker 3: do it. Then I guess people were like, what were
- 10:24Speaker 3: we doing here? So maybe in that sense, yeah, but
- 10:26Speaker 3: I would think, Okay, it's still a star, you can
- 10:28Speaker 3: market and all pro Heisman, all these guys, all these things.
- 10:32Speaker 3: So that one surprised me a little bit more. But
- 10:34Speaker 3: maybe this one, guys, do teams just feel like they
- 10:36Speaker 3: don't need to do these anymore? Like they don't We
- 10:38Speaker 3: can control the message the way we want. We have
- 10:41Speaker 3: our own social media, we have our own everything. We
- 10:43Speaker 3: can control the message. We don't need to worry about
- 10:45Speaker 3: a press conference anymore.
- 10:46Speaker 5: But if that was the case, then he should have
- 10:48Speaker 5: said then I would have thought he would have sat
- 10:50Speaker 5: down with Wes and rocket that super cool new TV
- 10:53Speaker 5: set that that's together, right and like, and that would
- 10:55Speaker 5: be the controlling the conversation and still.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Welcoming him in.
- 10:59Speaker 5: Now, we will at some point, I would assume during
- 11:01Speaker 5: OTAs finally get a chance to talk to him. Maybe, right,
- 11:04Speaker 5: I can't remember in full. If coordinators get up in
- 11:08Speaker 5: front of the class during mini camp, maybe mandatory mini
- 11:12Speaker 5: camp will end up being the first time. Otherwise you're
- 11:15Speaker 5: waiting until training camp, I think.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Basically, yeah, I mean that's what's the alternative.
- 11:24Speaker 5: Well, no, I'm saying there's three different chances that they're
- 11:26Speaker 5: on the grass before. I would assume that he would
- 11:28Speaker 5: talk at one of those. Otherwise we'll last wait till July. Well, yeah,
- 11:31Speaker 5: even if he just stiffs us the whole year. Well,
- 11:34Speaker 5: you do start getting fined at some point during the season, right,
- 11:37Speaker 5: at some at some point during the season, coordinators have
- 11:39Speaker 5: to talk at least that during the week.
- 11:40Speaker 4: Yeah, they do, Okay, I was I was unaware that
- 11:43Speaker 4: that was the rule, because the Packers do have the
- 11:44Speaker 4: car wash.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Yeah, coordinators. Coordinators have to talk once a week.
- 11:49Speaker 4: I mean they used to be in the hallway after games,
- 11:52Speaker 4: like you could get and they would just stand there.
- 11:53Speaker 4: You had to kind of request it. But then okay, yeah,
- 11:56Speaker 4: well we're going to need to talk to the defensive
- 11:58Speaker 4: cord after they gave up fifty, right, you know, but
- 12:00Speaker 4: then let's get out here on the hallway and you
- 12:03Speaker 4: could interview him right outside the locker room.
- 12:05Speaker 2: That didn't happen anymore, No, that.
- 12:07Speaker 5: Did very much. Notn You'll have to wait. You'll have
- 12:09Speaker 5: to wait till your Thursday availability for it. But at
- 12:11Speaker 5: some point, at some point, it comes around. And I
- 12:14Speaker 5: would assume, you know, more times that we hear Matt
- 12:16Speaker 5: Lafleour talk about j G will get a little bit
- 12:18Speaker 5: more of an understanding as to who he is, or
- 12:20Speaker 5: or we won't, or maybe he'll just be somewhat inconspicuous.
- 12:24Speaker 5: Anybody care about camic Cordon. I mean, they did hire
- 12:29Speaker 5: another they did hire another coordinator. He also didn't get
- 12:32Speaker 5: a conversation, so I don't know that he's also getting
- 12:35Speaker 5: their same requisite slack. We're only talking about Jonathan Gannon.
- 12:37Speaker 5: They did hire another one, and that guy bounced out
- 12:41Speaker 5: three weeks after, so it's not that crazy.
- 12:43Speaker 2: At some point, I'll take who I get.
- 12:44Speaker 3: At this point, I think it's part of the way
- 12:46Speaker 3: I'm looking at I'm like, Okay, it's the talk.
- 12:49Speaker 4: And the bet remains, who do we hear from first,
- 12:51Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon or Taylor Jenkins.
- 12:54Speaker 3: Taylor Jenkins, I think it's gotta be Taylor. You would think,
- 12:57Speaker 3: well at this point.
- 12:58Speaker 4: And then like, at what point do the Bucks do
- 12:59Speaker 4: that or are they told not to because of the
- 13:02Speaker 4: NBA playoffs going on?
- 13:03Speaker 2: Is it an embargo? I wouldn't think that that's the case. Yeah,
- 13:07Speaker 2: I don't see why it would be. I guess, I.
- 13:08Speaker 4: Mean, I mean they announced the Rookie of the Year,
- 13:11Speaker 4: which by the way, did not go to Kan Kannepple.
- 13:13Speaker 2: How we feel about that? Boys? Yeah, I would have
- 13:15Speaker 2: to go maybe throughout the.
- 13:17Speaker 5: Week of Awards season not surprised he was dominant down
- 13:23Speaker 5: the stretch. And that's the other part, like whether at
- 13:25Speaker 5: no point in our history book did the Rookie of
- 13:28Speaker 5: the Year matter if your team was good?
- 13:30Speaker 2: Right? Like that that's the one MVP.
- 13:33Speaker 5: A lot of times it'll be best player on the
- 13:35Speaker 5: best team. That can be a frustration for fans of
- 13:38Speaker 5: maybe the Oklahoma City Thunder for the love that other
- 13:40Speaker 5: guys were getting, But like, at no point in history
- 13:44Speaker 5: did your team have to be good for the crazy
- 13:47Speaker 5: numbers for you to put up as a rookie for
- 13:49Speaker 5: that to matter and those games be meaning fuller meaningless
- 13:52Speaker 5: and down the stretch, nobody was impacting games like Cooper was.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Yeah, not surprising one, but it was close. It was close.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Fifty six first places volts against forty four, so basically,
- 14:01Speaker 3: you know, it's a six vote swing. Now, I'm not
- 14:02Speaker 3: one of these political analysts, I'm not Kornaki, but I
- 14:05Speaker 3: guess that is somewhat significant in an election, but hey,
- 14:08Speaker 3: why not?
- 14:09Speaker 2: And congrats to well VJ.
- 14:11Speaker 3: Edgecomb got one second place vote, which kind of skewed things,
- 14:15Speaker 3: which I guess, you know, hit a really good rookie year.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I could see it.
- 14:18Speaker 3: And Cedric Coward got one third place vote, which I
- 14:20Speaker 3: thought was interesting but very very close vote. So I
- 14:22Speaker 3: guess that would fly into my face of my whole
- 14:25Speaker 3: culture of coal escence theory that now it's everything's gonna
- 14:28Speaker 3: be unanimous forever again.
- 14:29Speaker 2: But both were very very deserving.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Canniple played eighty one games, Cooper Flag played played seventy.
- 14:35Speaker 4: Canniple averaged eighteen point five points. Flag had twenty one
- 14:41Speaker 4: rebounds were six point seven for Cooper, Flag five point
- 14:45Speaker 4: three for conkinimple so they're very close. Four and a
- 14:47Speaker 4: half assist for Flag, three for Caniple. But where Canniple
- 14:52Speaker 4: will just shine. He led the whole league in three
- 14:53Speaker 4: point percentage, Yeah, in eighty two from three. Yeah.
- 14:57Speaker 5: And what Cooper also shined with was a fifty point
- 15:00Speaker 5: game and then three forty point games down down the
- 15:03Speaker 5: stretch at the end.
- 15:04Speaker 2: And I like those, those splash.
- 15:05Speaker 5: Numbers will definitely jump off the page, and I think
- 15:08Speaker 5: those are those being the lasting taste in voters mounts
- 15:10Speaker 5: in another part of.
- 15:11Speaker 3: It, maybe a little bit of he benefited from. Maybe
- 15:13Speaker 3: it just a tad bit of voter privilege. I mean,
- 15:16Speaker 3: I think there was a lot a lot of idea
- 15:17Speaker 3: that hey, this league wants Cooper flag. He's he's kind
- 15:20Speaker 3: of the front runner until someone has to unseat him, right.
- 15:23Speaker 2: I mean they both played.
- 15:24Speaker 4: Defense, they both played defense, decent defense, yeah, for sure.
- 15:28Speaker 4: And then the thing is MAVs were playing meaningless games
- 15:32Speaker 4: and the Hornets, after being dreadful the year before, made
- 15:35Speaker 4: it to the play and they actually, yeah, so they
- 15:38Speaker 4: were you know, they had a shot to get in.
- 15:41Speaker 4: And so you could say Canipple had the bigger impact.
- 15:44Speaker 4: And but again it's an individual awards every Yeah, but
- 15:48Speaker 4: everybody factors in the team performance because it's just natural
- 15:51Speaker 4: that they do that.
- 15:52Speaker 5: Kind of But again, I just I don't know about it.
- 15:53Speaker 5: I don't know as much about Rookie of the Year.
- 15:55Speaker 5: I mean, you're also looking at Cooper Flag number one
- 15:57Speaker 5: pick walks into the NBA and he's top twenty five scoring, Like,
- 16:00Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's something that's hard harder to fathom that.
- 16:05Speaker 2: You just do roll in.
- 16:07Speaker 5: Similarly to how twenty some years ago Lebron came in
- 16:11Speaker 5: and he wasn't the most dominant force in the league,
- 16:13Speaker 5: but he walked in was a really good player, like
- 16:14Speaker 5: Cooper Flag walked in and was a really good player
- 16:17Speaker 5: in the NBA. Now, granted he got plenty of opportunities
- 16:19Speaker 5: there for that Mavericks team that had nothing else other
- 16:22Speaker 5: than Megan thee Stallion, which well, I don't know if
- 16:28Speaker 5: you've been following, Oh sorry, yeah.
- 16:30Speaker 2: I don't know what's real and what's not. The same.
- 16:32Speaker 5: A lot of videos getting community notes and there's a
- 16:35Speaker 5: lot of a lot of reading that I wasn't anticipating.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Was that a real quote?
- 16:39Speaker 3: There's certain quotes attributed to Clay and I'm like, oh,
- 16:42Speaker 3: that's not a real quote or is that just something
- 16:43Speaker 3: somebody made?
- 16:44Speaker 5: And I've seen a lot of people dress up as
- 16:46Speaker 5: Klay Thompson. There's a lot of people that I know
- 16:48Speaker 5: that kind of look like Clay Thompson. So I'm not
- 16:50Speaker 5: necessarily sure as who was being uh who was in front.
- 16:54Speaker 4: Of I had given up to a thread and then
- 16:56Speaker 4: Lexi Brown entered the chest right back into it, like
- 17:00Speaker 4: where are we we have?
- 17:03Speaker 2: We need something juicy for the interest, right, want something.
- 17:08Speaker 4: We didn't talk about it last week, but talk about juicy?
- 17:11Speaker 4: Is the uh, the the kind of the romantic angle
- 17:16Speaker 4: around the Dallas Wings this year?
- 17:18Speaker 2: That is that is something that we were.
- 17:22Speaker 4: Like, yeah, and then they sort of addressed it yesterday,
- 17:26Speaker 4: but then addressed and said I'm not gonna address it anymore.
- 17:30Speaker 4: When you have when you're at this level and you're
- 17:32Speaker 4: trying to be a league that people care about and follow.
- 17:35Speaker 2: There's no but this would be it and this would
- 17:37Speaker 2: be a story anywhere, right I think.
- 17:40Speaker 4: So it's just back to back number one picks on
- 17:43Speaker 4: the same team that happened to be romantically involved and
- 17:45Speaker 4: if they and if it goes bad, if it goes bad,
- 17:49Speaker 4: like if they're romance, Well, how does it impact the
- 17:52Speaker 4: team and what is the team? Did the team weigh
- 17:54Speaker 4: this and drafting? Did they think about you know, the ramifications?
- 17:57Speaker 4: Have they laid down ground rulest the question? So yeah,
- 18:04Speaker 4: but then they won championships and like we're together both
- 18:07Speaker 4: at Yukon correct, right?
- 18:08Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, goodness.
- 18:10Speaker 4: Page Becker's was the one who made it public like
- 18:13Speaker 4: a year ago, right, So it's like, yes, but the
- 18:17Speaker 4: idea that this isn't a story and it's it's a
- 18:20Speaker 4: different it's a different tack than the Russini Vrabel thing.
- 18:23Speaker 4: People are like, yeah, this is two players on a
- 18:27Speaker 4: team that you want people to follow.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Is two number one draft picks? Like high ass that
- 18:30Speaker 2: we needed to make people believe and understand why the
- 18:34Speaker 2: Diana rous Senior Mike Varible thing was a sports story
- 18:37Speaker 2: instantly is a sport I can't like.
- 18:39Speaker 4: If you don't think this is a story that people
- 18:41Speaker 4: have to ask questions about, I can't agree.
- 18:43Speaker 3: And also it's not necessarily based on malfeasons. No one
- 18:47Speaker 3: did anything wrong whereas not but it's just a how's
- 18:51Speaker 3: it gonna work? And how did it work? Or how
- 18:53Speaker 3: do you guys feel about it? But but but I'm
- 18:55Speaker 3: telling you there's a strisand effect. It was not a problem.
- 18:58Speaker 3: It was not an issue until they the media people
- 19:01Speaker 3: shut it down at the press conference. Well that was
- 19:04Speaker 3: what made gave it attention. Yeah, that gave it oxygen
- 19:06Speaker 3: for my theory.
- 19:07Speaker 4: So I'm trying to think back to when it wasn't
- 19:12Speaker 4: Jeanie Buss dating Phil Jackson.
- 19:15Speaker 2: And yes, kind of for a long time.
- 19:17Speaker 4: Yeah, and that and he was like, but that's that's
- 19:20Speaker 4: a dynamic, that's it needs to be explored too, but
- 19:23Speaker 4: that it's just a long time there together.
- 19:25Speaker 2: That is like, and that's now.
- 19:27Speaker 4: If the w n b A wants to support to
- 19:29Speaker 4: be a major sport and get coverage, this is the story.
- 19:32Speaker 2: People are going to be interested.
- 19:34Speaker 5: The thousand percent. I just learned about it now and
- 19:36Speaker 5: quickly need my favorite story. And Bill so upset that
- 19:41Speaker 5: I did not know this.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Deep into the draft.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Usually Billion never misses. Usually Billion never misses a good one.
- 19:48Speaker 3: You know when it was the first Dallas Waynings game. Well,
- 19:51Speaker 3: they just opened camps. I'm so in on the w
- 19:56Speaker 3: this season. This is great. Well, like you said, they
- 20:00Speaker 3: they they made it public or at least page and
- 20:03Speaker 3: they were together at Yukon and Wonder with it, and
- 20:06Speaker 3: it seemed like nobody had a problem on championships.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Well it wasn't Geno or Ema wasn't yelling at that
- 20:11Speaker 2: also the pros and it's different.
- 20:12Speaker 5: So the question I was gonna say this is this
- 20:15Speaker 5: is now we're all getting paid now that you weren't
- 20:17Speaker 5: getting paid in college, I guess.
- 20:18Speaker 3: But so why did Dallas wings PR vehemently shut the
- 20:21Speaker 3: question down at the press conference?
- 20:22Speaker 4: That's me, that is, and you're right that gave them,
- 20:25Speaker 4: that gave it oxygen because it has to be asked
- 20:28Speaker 4: and they understand it, but they just try to like
- 20:30Speaker 4: wall it off.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Fascinating PR study.
- 20:32Speaker 4: But if you, like I said, this is a story,
- 20:35Speaker 4: you can say what you want about Vrabel and Russini. Well,
- 20:38Speaker 4: I still think a story in some way that's more
- 20:41Speaker 4: of the journalism, the way the sausage is made, and
- 20:44Speaker 4: if that shines a light on the shadiness of the
- 20:46Speaker 4: insider industry, well that's not the worst thing that could happen.
- 20:49Speaker 3: But there's an there's an obvious malfeasance with Diana and Mike, right,
- 20:53Speaker 3: there's an obvious should have done it.
- 20:54Speaker 4: The other one, Well, there's a Clouds. Yeah, because like
- 20:58Speaker 4: Russini's reporting, moved markets. There's no doubt. Oh this okay,
- 21:02Speaker 4: this works.
- 21:03Speaker 5: The start of the Dallas Wings season at the Indiana
- 21:06Speaker 5: Fever on ESPN Saturday, May ninth. Ah, you don't say
- 21:13Speaker 5: marketing w NBA.

- 21:45Speaker 4: for you. It's the Tuesday edition of the Huddle. Fox

- 22:11Speaker 2: I got some good ones for buy yourself. Hit us
- 22:13Speaker 2: with your buyerself.
- 22:14Speaker 4: And I will say, Billy just spent the entire commercial
- 22:16Speaker 4: break reading about the Dallas Wings and Kama Becker's and
- 22:20Speaker 4: Asy Fudd and their relationship and the fact like that
- 22:23Speaker 4: you missed that, Billy, you paid more attention to what's
- 22:26Speaker 4: percolating in the sports media, the podcast space, the bloggisphere,
- 22:32Speaker 4: social media, like than anybody I know. Yeah, I have
- 22:35Speaker 4: life and that one and that one just went like
- 22:37Speaker 4: under the door and you missed that one.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Just flipped that one under the door today.
- 22:41Speaker 5: That's oh my god, right club side up underneath into
- 22:44Speaker 5: the into the net. And I just cannot believe I
- 22:47Speaker 5: missed out. What was excited I ever was I was
- 22:49Speaker 5: meeting Billy. We were going to go to the Bucks
- 22:51Speaker 5: game and I was meeting Billy. Maybe it was a
- 22:54Speaker 5: Marquete game.
- 22:55Speaker 3: I can't remember as meeting Billy pottawatam me before the
- 22:58Speaker 3: game and I knew he was in the car. And
- 23:00Speaker 3: two or three minutes earlier that the story hit about
- 23:02Speaker 3: the about the alleged situation in University of Georgia. If
- 23:06Speaker 3: you remember, I don't want to say the name. Some
- 23:08Speaker 3: people got in trouble. Pack got in trouble for saying
- 23:10Speaker 3: I'm not.
- 23:10Speaker 5: Saying yes, yes, yes, yes podcast the fans.
- 23:16Speaker 2: And I was so excited because I knew there was
- 23:18Speaker 2: no way.
- 23:18Speaker 3: Billy gets seen this yet. I'm gonna I'm gonna get it.
- 23:21Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna tell them about it first. So
- 23:23Speaker 3: that was one of my great pleasures. And now it's
- 23:25Speaker 3: opdally about this one. Yeah, so there's a lot they'll
- 23:27Speaker 3: dive into.
- 23:28Speaker 4: Well, this is a good one, dude, this is one, okay,
- 23:30Speaker 4: so one, This is one that I would say, will
- 23:33Speaker 4: file this under like stories in some circles.
- 23:38Speaker 2: And now there are gonna be some people that reflexively say,
- 23:40Speaker 2: who cares you're talking about the w n B A
- 23:41Speaker 2: who cares? That's going to be dismissed, right.
- 23:45Speaker 4: But there's no way that this isn't a story. And
- 23:48Speaker 4: the fact that they kind of like, I don't know,
- 23:51Speaker 4: I want to say they swallowed it, but they when
- 23:53Speaker 4: they initially when Azy Fudd got drafted and then she
- 23:56Speaker 4: had her her uh presser, they shut that down like armantet,
- 24:01Speaker 4: and it kind of added fuel to it. But like,
- 24:03Speaker 4: how can you not like anything you write about the
- 24:05Speaker 4: Dallas Wings right now. Has to be about like that.
- 24:09Speaker 4: It's got to be in the conversation. It's in the conversation.
- 24:11Speaker 2: So that gets me going.
- 24:13Speaker 4: It affects you know, so what stories and in this
- 24:17Speaker 4: you know where we it comes at you with the fire.
- 24:19Speaker 4: What stories deserve more oxygen? What stories deserve to be
- 24:23Speaker 4: stoked a little bit? Like I'm interested, Like we haven't
- 24:26Speaker 4: heard anything about the Taylor Jenkins, Like the Bucks coaching search.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Is it over for real?
- 24:30Speaker 4: Like when's the announcement? Are they still in negotiations? Like
- 24:34Speaker 4: I said, is it something as simple as well the
- 24:36Speaker 4: press role happened as soon as like somebody gets back
- 24:38Speaker 4: from a wedding or somebody gets back from you know, well,
- 24:40Speaker 4: a graduation planner like Billy says, there's got to be
- 24:43Speaker 4: something extenuating. There's Is there an arm embargo with the
- 24:46Speaker 4: league because the playoffs are going on? What are the
- 24:48Speaker 4: stories and sports that need more oxygen? I think people
- 24:54Speaker 4: the looming the Baseball's collective bargaining thing is kind of
- 24:58Speaker 4: like in the background.
- 24:58Speaker 2: But it should be a story.
- 25:00Speaker 5: I was gonna say that to me is the one
- 25:01Speaker 5: that should be a story. But if there would be
- 25:03Speaker 5: ever be an embargo for the league having a hot start,
- 25:05Speaker 5: and let's not talk about the massive elephant in the room,
- 25:08Speaker 5: in the room that's also burning that that would be
- 25:11Speaker 5: the one for me. Like I get why they're not,
- 25:13Speaker 5: but it's definitely still percolating in my mind.
- 25:15Speaker 2: It's a good one.
- 25:16Speaker 4: And rights deals like where are the Buck's going to
- 25:18Speaker 4: be on TV next year? Well, we'll find about that
- 25:21Speaker 4: local TV, Like we'll find out about that like a
- 25:24Speaker 4: week before they tip.
- 25:25Speaker 5: Off or the morning that they tip off if they
- 25:27Speaker 5: follow the Brewers MLB mid Yeah.
- 25:29Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's something and people don't think about that.
- 25:32Speaker 4: And the NBA is it's teams in the NBA are
- 25:35Speaker 4: less dependent on the local revenue I think than the
- 25:38Speaker 4: baseball side.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Definitely have caps and they.
- 25:41Speaker 4: Get all this cash from the national deals. That's just ridiculous.
- 25:44Speaker 5: And if there's any team that in a year that
- 25:47Speaker 5: you probably would want to get some nice, easy gentle wins,
- 25:52Speaker 5: it might be the year that you potentially move off
- 25:54Speaker 5: of your generational superstar best player of all time.
- 25:56Speaker 2: The impending meltdown of the Live Golf Tours is good questions, Yeah,
- 26:01Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 26:02Speaker 4: More explorations, and then even on a base level, like
- 26:05Speaker 4: the fact that the Pistons loss last night and you
- 26:08Speaker 4: got a sixty win team. It's only the third time
- 26:11Speaker 4: in history a sixty win team is down three to
- 26:13Speaker 4: one in their first series and they're about the other
- 26:16Speaker 4: two went down and the other two went down, And
- 26:18Speaker 4: was the Milwaukee Bucks one of those two one of
- 26:20Speaker 4: those teams they went fifty eight games that year that
- 26:23Speaker 4: they lost to Miami.
- 26:24Speaker 2: They were very, very close, and we've seen close.
- 26:26Speaker 5: How damaging and breaking to an organization losing in the
- 26:30Speaker 5: first round as the number one seed can be.
- 26:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so the Pistons.
- 26:35Speaker 4: I think the Pistons were undercovered all year for what
- 26:37Speaker 4: they did, and Cad Cunningham's terrific player, and they're just
- 26:40Speaker 4: anonymous and they just they played great ball all year
- 26:44Speaker 4: and now they're about to lose to the.
- 26:45Speaker 3: Magic And it's a bad look for the league because
- 26:47Speaker 3: it kind of it gives fuel to the notion that
- 26:51Speaker 3: your regular season is more meaningless in terms of results,
- 26:54Speaker 3: and this is proving it. And that's part of the reason.
- 26:56Speaker 3: I think a lot of times people ignored the Pistons
- 26:59Speaker 3: results this year because it's like, well, what does it
- 27:01Speaker 3: it mean?
- 27:01Speaker 2: Are they actually good or not.
- 27:02Speaker 3: This is the regular season in the NBA now and
- 27:05Speaker 3: because of that, we don't know what any of that
- 27:06Speaker 3: means anymore.
- 27:07Speaker 5: Yeah, the the tough part is though Arman as well,
- 27:10Speaker 5: like Orlando. Remember during the offseason this past year, we
- 27:13Speaker 5: were getting it crammed down our throats. They were the
- 27:16Speaker 5: hot name. They were the team that is gonna be different.
- 27:19Speaker 5: They're gonna be way better this year. You guys just
- 27:21Speaker 5: gotta wait for Orlando, and they never really got off
- 27:25Speaker 5: to that start. Now, the the East was better than
- 27:27Speaker 5: maybe people gave it some credit for, but like, uh,
- 27:30Speaker 5: they had the scrap to be able to get themselves
- 27:32Speaker 5: in and also learn how to play with a little
- 27:35Speaker 5: bit of a new main chess piece in Baining company.
- 27:39Speaker 5: And they're still young, but they are as aggressive as
- 27:43Speaker 5: all hell. And if you like the early two thousands NBA,
- 27:47Speaker 5: you're loving this series.
- 27:48Speaker 2: They like that.
- 27:49Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot of tough and a lot of isopolls,
- 27:51Speaker 3: a lot of all that Sins.
- 27:52Speaker 4: Have been out, hustled out, rebounded out, just out everything. Yeah,
- 27:56Speaker 4: strengthened and yeah, so and this is in the in
- 28:00Speaker 4: forty two years, get this, in forty two years, only
- 28:04Speaker 4: six number eight seeds have gotten through the first round,
- 28:08Speaker 4: and only four of those came did it in a
- 28:09Speaker 4: best of seven series.
- 28:10Speaker 2: So wow, Remember Rare, I.
- 28:12Speaker 5: Was gonna say that, we believe Warriors would have been
- 28:14Speaker 5: one of those against the map against the MAVs obviously
- 28:17Speaker 5: the heat.
- 28:17Speaker 2: I can't think of all of the other ones that
- 28:19Speaker 2: have even gone through.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Nuggets over the Sonics in ninety what four Maybe that
- 28:23Speaker 3: was a crazy one.
- 28:24Speaker 2: That was one.
- 28:25Speaker 3: Bucks almost did it in two thousand of the Pacers
- 28:28Speaker 3: but lost in game five, And we should have won
- 28:29Speaker 3: that game.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Man, we should have won that game. So hold on.
- 28:32Speaker 2: They almost did it but lost in five in the
- 28:36Speaker 2: first round. Yeah, oh sorry, it was best of five
- 28:38Speaker 2: yard me I was I was still broken. I was
- 28:41Speaker 2: still broke. I was still sitting in best of seven.
- 28:43Speaker 2: That seems like they were very, very close to apology.
- 28:46Speaker 3: No, that was the year before they had that really
- 28:48Speaker 3: good year of the two thousand and one Bucks, and
- 28:49Speaker 3: there was a lot of excitement. You know, Tim Thomas
- 28:51Speaker 3: had just come on board, Cassell was there, Ray and Glenwood.
- 28:55Speaker 2: It was a lot of excitement. I met.
- 28:56Speaker 3: We really were close to winning that series. I remember
- 28:59Speaker 3: Reggie Miller was exhausted. They came back and won, and
- 29:02Speaker 3: Cheryl was interviewing him and he goes, sharel the Bucks
- 29:05Speaker 3: with the better team we won today, But the Bucks
- 29:07Speaker 3: with a better team. I'm like, ww, I can't believe
- 29:09Speaker 3: Reggie Miller is saying this.
- 29:10Speaker 2: So that was one that was close, I remember.
- 29:12Speaker 3: But yeah, there been you know, there have been a
- 29:14Speaker 3: few that have taken into the limit, a few that
- 29:16Speaker 3: have won. But is this gonna happen more now? I mean,
- 29:18Speaker 3: are we are we learning less about teams in the
- 29:21Speaker 3: NBA and the regular season than we ever had before.
- 29:23Speaker 3: It's a legitimate we Well, that definitely.
- 29:25Speaker 5: The other one that that's gonna be pretty fascinating to
- 29:28Speaker 5: see how it develops is what they end up doing
- 29:31Speaker 5: with the anti tanking rules that they've tried to fire up.
- 29:34Speaker 5: I h O first glance yesterday, some of the proposals
- 29:37Speaker 5: came through of one of which was flattening a lot
- 29:39Speaker 5: of the odds and welcoming in certain teams that are
- 29:42Speaker 5: into the playoffs into the lottery and everybody there gets
- 29:45Speaker 5: descending odds, but the last eight teams all get flat
- 29:49Speaker 5: even odds say like chance, Yeah, they at some point
- 29:56Speaker 5: we're all gonna realize that the NBA regular season definitely
- 29:59Speaker 5: needs to be shrunkate be truncated, but I don't know
- 30:02Speaker 5: that anybody is going to willingly shrink the amount of
- 30:05Speaker 5: games knowing that the revenue is also potentially going to shrink.
- 30:09Speaker 5: The one story that we're not going to give a
- 30:11Speaker 5: whole lot of oxygen too, but it's going to start
- 30:13Speaker 5: getting a ton is this Brendan Sorosby story. Drew from
- 30:17Speaker 5: Texas Tech who transfers last this offseason from Cincinnati to
- 30:22Speaker 5: go to Texas Tech, big bag for a quarterback, allegedly
- 30:25Speaker 5: bet on Indiana to win the national title when he
- 30:28Speaker 5: was on bet on them to win when he was
- 30:31Speaker 5: on a roster. In twenty twenty two, he just checked
- 30:35Speaker 5: himself into a rehab for a gambling addiction that he
- 30:40Speaker 5: will admittedly said yesterday. Now, this is a dude that
- 30:43Speaker 5: was going to be in line to be one of
- 30:44Speaker 5: the top guys for the Heisman Trophy and had him
- 30:47Speaker 5: phenomenal year last year checked himself into a residential treatment program.
- 30:51Speaker 2: But he also like.
- 30:53Speaker 5: Test case on guys that went back for the bag
- 30:56Speaker 5: instead of going to the NFL. In all reality, Drew
- 30:59Speaker 5: Soresby would have been probably the second or third quarterback taken,
- 31:03Speaker 5: he would have challenged Ty Simpson to go earlier this
- 31:06Speaker 5: year in the draft and instead, now his career is
- 31:10Speaker 5: very much in jeopardy, especially at the NCAA level, because
- 31:14Speaker 5: you don't necessarily know where and how deep this ultimately
- 31:19Speaker 5: can go. But he ended up grabbing like an estimated
- 31:22Speaker 5: five million bucks in the portal, picking Texas Tech over
- 31:26Speaker 5: LSU and Miami, on top of having to pay a
- 31:30Speaker 5: million dollar buyout lawsuit.
- 31:32Speaker 2: That Cincinnati had.
- 31:34Speaker 5: So he is in a he's in a world of conversation,
- 31:37Speaker 5: and this has all the things that people hate about
- 31:40Speaker 5: college sports all kind of wrapped in one gambling, nil, portal, poaching,
- 31:47Speaker 5: meet Brendan Soresby right here into the middle.
- 31:50Speaker 4: Have we had much gambling talk in college football yet?
- 31:54Speaker 4: I mean, this does seem like it's a new a
- 31:56Speaker 4: little bit of a new stream that we're I think
- 31:58Speaker 4: so too that we're here.
- 32:00Speaker 5: That's a good point. It's but it was the baseball.
- 32:03Speaker 5: It was baseball players and basketball players, baseball cloding up.
- 32:07Speaker 4: Yeah, and then but yeah, basketball seems more. Football's like
- 32:12Speaker 4: would seem harder to fix. But then it's not fixing.
- 32:14Speaker 4: It's just this guy betting, which you call again anything
- 32:18Speaker 4: and in this current culture, oh my goodness, yeah.
- 32:21Speaker 2: One hundred percent. And that's where it says, uh Soresby.
- 32:25Speaker 5: Uh the NCAA investigating for making thousands of online bets
- 32:28Speaker 5: on a variety of sports via a gambling app. So
- 32:32Speaker 5: it never says that he bet on any game that
- 32:34Speaker 5: he was in. Uh, there's no allegation of Soresby gambling.
- 32:38Speaker 5: Uh that he led to impacting outcomes either the team
- 32:42Speaker 5: or individual during his previous stops, but did bet potentially
- 32:45Speaker 5: on his team to be victorious when he was not
- 32:48Speaker 5: on the field. So there's a pawn a ton here
- 32:51Speaker 5: that is gonna be uh.
- 32:52Speaker 4: Yeah, we got to talk about this because this is
- 32:55Speaker 4: one of those Again it's doesn't get a lot of
- 32:57Speaker 4: cover till something like this pops up. But in some
- 33:00Speaker 4: ways this is like it's inevitable. Yeah, one hundred percent,
- 33:04Speaker 4: it's gonna happen.
- 33:05Speaker 5: But with and and this is the other thing and
- 33:07Speaker 5: now with uh, you know, in state, legalized online betting
- 33:11Speaker 5: going to be coming rather soon to the state of Wisconsin.
- 33:14Speaker 5: If it's not for the amount of legal books, I
- 33:20Speaker 5: don't know how much of this ultimately gets poked as
- 33:22Speaker 5: much as the desire is there, and there's a lot
- 33:25Speaker 5: more conversation, a lot more opportunity to get there.
- 33:28Speaker 2: Uh when when you.
- 33:30Speaker 5: When you have to throw a name in a driver's
- 33:32Speaker 5: license identification code on to start your they know exactly
- 33:36Speaker 5: who's making the investment.
- 33:38Speaker 4: And then you get to the uh you know, the
- 33:39Speaker 4: reporting this Pete the Hamil has the story and it's
- 33:42Speaker 4: like and he's breaking it from the Draftking Studio on
- 33:45Speaker 4: the fan duel to that work presented by MG. I'm like,
- 33:48Speaker 4: they're all in bed with this and it's that's why
- 33:51Speaker 4: it's just inevitable. But man, this this is big. Well
- 33:54Speaker 4: what about Arman alluded to Rosier earlier and that whole
- 33:57Speaker 4: Chauncey billups that hole. Yeah, finally not getting a lot
- 34:00Speaker 4: of oxygen either, New charges I think was the story
- 34:02Speaker 4: New indictments.
- 34:03Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not I think that's not getting as much
- 34:05Speaker 3: because that story is kind of.
- 34:06Speaker 5: You know, the Trailblazers are watching that because Dundon's trying
- 34:09Speaker 5: to figure out if he's going to get some money
- 34:10Speaker 5: back on that.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Oh that's what he's trying to do.
- 34:12Speaker 4: We're gonna buy or sell after six o'clock. But right now,
- 34:15Speaker 4: it's fun, just like what stories need more oxygen? What
- 34:18Speaker 4: should we be paying attention to because we get distracted
- 34:21Speaker 4: pretty easily in this culture.
- 34:22Speaker 2: We do we do?
- 34:23Speaker 3: How about a really really ultra local one that just
- 34:25Speaker 3: popped in my head? Hey, Milwaukee Pro Soccer's what's going on?
- 34:28Speaker 3: Is that happening?
- 34:31Speaker 2: I'm still waiting on that one. By we have heard
- 34:34Speaker 2: anything in like two years.
- 34:35Speaker 4: That and the wave of losing in the playoff in
- 34:37Speaker 4: the championship game.
- 34:38Speaker 2: A tough one, last one, tough one.
- 34:40Speaker 4: All right, we're rolling. It's the Tuesday edition of The Huddle,
- 34:43Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
- 34:54Speaker 4: The Pirates having some fun feeling themselves these days. Connor,
- 35:00Speaker 4: it's twentieth birthday. They had a bounce house in the clubhouse.
- 35:03Speaker 2: It's cute. It's sort of super small though, yeah they
- 35:05Speaker 2: go bigger goal.
- 35:06Speaker 5: That's kind of funny though, Well, how much how much
- 35:08Speaker 5: do you think you can actually put inside of a
- 35:10Speaker 5: inside of a room?
- 35:12Speaker 2: I know it is it is indoors.
- 35:14Speaker 5: When you guys rent Lena the massive bounce house for third.
- 35:17Speaker 2: And they all want the bounce house, I'm not.
- 35:19Speaker 3: First of all, these bounce houses are not cheap to rent.
- 35:22Speaker 2: All right.
- 35:23Speaker 3: Second of all, she's not old enough to understand it
- 35:26Speaker 3: and get it or enjoy it yet.
- 35:27Speaker 2: Maybe once she's seven or.
- 35:28Speaker 3: Eight, all right, and then I will in Bye Carson
- 35:31Speaker 3: and Bentzon over to enjoy it, because I want every
- 35:33Speaker 3: kid in the county over to use this thing.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't want I don't want to
- 35:36Speaker 2: have to pay five bucks at the door. I'm not pulling.
- 35:39Speaker 3: I'm all good. I'm not doing a cover onn't you
- 35:42Speaker 3: all right? But these bounce houses, man, they're you know,
- 35:45Speaker 3: they come and they fire up the bounce house. Then
- 35:47Speaker 3: every kid in the neighborhood seas is a bounce house.
- 35:49Speaker 3: Then it's like, oh, how come they got a bounce house?
- 35:51Speaker 3: We got to rent a whole, you know, a whole farm,
- 35:54Speaker 3: to rent a whole you know farm, appeare.
- 35:56Speaker 2: No, No, you can't. You can't use this. You can't
- 35:58Speaker 2: use this yet you just move into the neighborhood. Sorry,
- 36:01Speaker 2: there was.
- 36:01Speaker 5: No way anybody was grabbing a bounce house of the
- 36:04Speaker 5: condo village you were in before.
- 36:06Speaker 2: We'll get there soon. No, not there, that's for sure,
- 36:10Speaker 2: all right. So we've been talking about it.
- 36:12Speaker 4: We jumped off with the page Beckers and asy fuid
- 36:15Speaker 4: that that the romance.
- 36:16Speaker 2: And I'm gonna have a lot of fun with that
- 36:18Speaker 2: throughout the season.
- 36:19Speaker 4: And now, uh, just stories that deserve a little more
- 36:21Speaker 4: oxygen that were undercovered. And again like where's the Bucks coach?
- 36:25Speaker 4: It was reported last week? No presser yet, where's Jonathan Gannon?
- 36:29Speaker 4: Where's the mm hmm, still waiting? Why Mike shy? He
- 36:32Speaker 4: did a lot of pressers when he was coaching in Arizona.
- 36:34Speaker 4: Well why is he microphone shy like that?
- 36:36Speaker 2: Again? Do fans care?
- 36:39Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe, but like getting his philosophy would
- 36:42Speaker 4: have maybe informed people of you know, they went and
- 36:44Speaker 4: picked four defensive players in the draft.
- 36:46Speaker 2: That was the one to me, Drew.
- 36:48Speaker 5: I think at least it would have given some fans
- 36:50Speaker 5: and more better idea as to what to expect, uh
- 36:53Speaker 5: from how they'll play or what they'll look like. But
- 36:56Speaker 5: admittedly so, it doesn't seem like Jonathan Gannon as extremely
- 37:00Speaker 5: dynamic in front of the room from the.
- 37:03Speaker 2: One we took an uber here. Yeah we saw we
- 37:08Speaker 2: saw one clip. Yeah, we also did see the video,
- 37:11Speaker 2: the videos of him.
- 37:12Speaker 5: Dapping up the players after the after the press conference.
- 37:16Speaker 5: I'm not saying I'm not saying you guys don't resonate
- 37:18Speaker 5: with him and get excited to be around him. And
- 37:20Speaker 5: we saw him in a very public setting buttoned up.
- 37:23Speaker 5: He seems like an unbuttoned cat, maybe more Paul Chris style,
- 37:26Speaker 5: more fun behind closed doors. But he's admitted like his
- 37:30Speaker 5: scheme is rather dependent on what the opponent does. So
- 37:33Speaker 5: maybe it would have been a good chance to fire
- 37:35Speaker 5: up some misdirection. But I'm just, uh, maybe we're too
- 37:39Speaker 5: close to it. Do other organizations introduce their coordinators? I
- 37:45Speaker 5: kind of thought so, but as some of them also
- 37:48Speaker 5: then don't you know, in the middle of hiring that
- 37:51Speaker 5: guy then fired and find out the special teams coordinators
- 37:53Speaker 5: also leaving it.
- 37:54Speaker 4: They harpball got the job in New York, didn't like
- 37:57Speaker 4: they had the presser's regular right, So I don't know.
- 38:02Speaker 2: More oxygen. And again, the gambling thing in sports is.
- 38:06Speaker 4: That is the elephant in the room in some ways,
- 38:09Speaker 4: And it's like, are we are we watching sports or
- 38:13Speaker 4: are we watching stuff fed to us by the gambling
- 38:16Speaker 4: companies to make us more interested in Like it's they've
- 38:19Speaker 4: they've seemed they've merged so seamlessly now that it's hard
- 38:22Speaker 4: to tell, Like you know, again, they're reporting on ESPN this.
- 38:25Speaker 2: I think there's a blockbuster story.
- 38:27Speaker 4: The guy who's making a couple of million bucks is
- 38:29Speaker 4: a transfer quarterback that with first round potential and might
- 38:33Speaker 4: end up getting suspended for because the NCUBA, first of all,
- 38:36Speaker 4: their rule is no, if you're an nc double athlete,
- 38:38Speaker 4: you can't bet on anything right, any sports.
- 38:41Speaker 2: I don't I don't think pro either, I don't believe that.
- 38:45Speaker 4: But in this nilier where players are making millions of bucks, right,
- 38:49Speaker 4: the temptation has never been better. And we talked about this,
- 38:51Speaker 4: and it's you know, young men, it's they they're not
- 38:55Speaker 4: playing a stratomatic baseball.
- 38:57Speaker 2: They fantasy football was one thing. Daily Fantasy, the gateway
- 39:00Speaker 2: and their main line.
- 39:01Speaker 4: We talked to Kapa Kate Kate Sutton, our favorite co
- 39:05Speaker 4: ed from the University of Wisconsin Madison, and she told
- 39:08Speaker 4: us about how annoying it is when it went from
- 39:10Speaker 4: Brads and Chad's and the bars to Parley Pete and
- 39:13Speaker 4: guys like being obsessed and like not being able to
- 39:15Speaker 4: have a fun night out because they're looking at their phone,
- 39:17Speaker 4: checking to see if they're you know, if Memphis hit
- 39:20Speaker 4: the over right, it's like and if the idea that
- 39:24Speaker 4: athletes are.
- 39:24Speaker 2: An immune to that.
- 39:26Speaker 4: And this I mean so if you could end up
- 39:28Speaker 4: getting suspended for part of the season, banned from life, yeah,
- 39:31Speaker 4: and c double a. If you tell me that doesn't
- 39:33Speaker 4: affect your NFL draft prospects.
- 39:35Speaker 5: Yeah, I would struggle to think that that that he'll
- 39:38Speaker 5: he'll get much of a look. And now people will say,
- 39:40Speaker 5: what do I care about Texas Tech? That that's fine
- 39:43Speaker 5: to their major program right now, it's become one of
- 39:46Speaker 5: the bigger programs in ball.
- 39:48Speaker 2: And the thing.
- 39:49Speaker 5: Is nil version, and you got one of your former
- 39:51Speaker 5: players bank rolling a bunch of it.
- 39:53Speaker 2: But it's getting covered, isn't it.
- 39:54Speaker 4: It's not well, it just broke yet. But yeah, I'm
- 39:59Speaker 4: not talking necessary about this story, but the whole thing
- 40:01Speaker 4: about gambling in college, like you were.
- 40:03Speaker 2: The basketball story.
- 40:04Speaker 4: It was as as our boy El Baldo said about
- 40:08Speaker 4: you know Twitter slash X, it's a it's a loaded
- 40:11Speaker 4: uzzy on the nightstand, And that's what gambling is like,
- 40:15Speaker 4: it's that third rail. Because and now always be if
- 40:19Speaker 4: anybody says, well, what's the big deal?
- 40:21Speaker 2: He wasn't betting. He was betting on pro sports. He
- 40:23Speaker 2: was betting on baseball. You can't bet because.
- 40:25Speaker 4: Then when you have like Texas Tech, why is Texas
- 40:29Speaker 4: Tech good because one of their foreign players is a
- 40:30Speaker 4: billionaire that's funding the program.
- 40:33Speaker 2: He's giving this guy a bunch of money.
- 40:35Speaker 4: If he gets in deep, as we know can happen
- 40:39Speaker 4: because you know, most gamblers lose. If he gets in deep,
- 40:43Speaker 4: then what happens that? What's the next you have to
- 40:45Speaker 4: think about the next step, Like he's just betting on
- 40:48Speaker 4: you know, he's betting on NBA.
- 40:49Speaker 2: What's the problem with that?
- 40:51Speaker 4: If he gets behind and then needs more money or
- 40:54Speaker 4: needs you know, guys might transfer schools, get more money
- 40:56Speaker 4: to help pay their gambling debts down, and then they
- 40:58Speaker 4: become susceptible to oh we can fix this. Throw a
- 41:02Speaker 4: couple of picks in your in your game on Saturday night.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Yeah, throw a couple of picks for it.
- 41:09Speaker 4: And I get that, but then very to That's why
- 41:12Speaker 4: they have to have this like distance in this absolute
- 41:16Speaker 4: you know, I think zero tolerance.
- 41:17Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent if there if you are sniffed
- 41:20Speaker 5: around on betting on a game that you are involved in,
- 41:22Speaker 5: then you immediately have to be taken away from it,
- 41:24Speaker 5: right Like John tay Porter, I don't care if that
- 41:26Speaker 5: guy was one of the better players in the game. Uh,
- 41:29Speaker 5: you immediately if you are fixing, your unders have to
- 41:32Speaker 5: be removed because there is a there's gonna be a
- 41:35Speaker 5: fine line between this being professional wrestling and professional sports,
- 41:38Speaker 5: and as a lover of both, there is a massive
- 41:41Speaker 5: difference the amount of money that has pumped into all
- 41:46Speaker 5: of professional sports, and and obviously people know that. I'm
- 41:50Speaker 5: an advocate for it on the player's side, as the
- 41:52Speaker 5: team side and the consumer side. I think it makes
- 41:55Speaker 5: all of the games more and more appealing. I think
- 41:57Speaker 5: it makes it better. This also makes sports gamble better
- 42:00Speaker 5: with it being above board and legal in with different leagues,
- 42:04Speaker 5: because you then have the opportunity to know and alert
- 42:09Speaker 5: everybody immediately when Hey, by the way, you know there's
- 42:11Speaker 5: a Draft Kings account that Brandon the Sores be just
- 42:13Speaker 5: placed them bet on Indiana for sweet all right, that
- 42:16Speaker 5: is under investigation, Like that's immediately in other than Johnny
- 42:20Speaker 5: down the Street, Like there's there's too many different thoughts
- 42:23Speaker 5: as to where this is if the kind of gambling
- 42:27Speaker 5: apt that they're talking about. It only gets flared if
- 42:30Speaker 5: there's legalized sports wagering, And clearly part of this looks
- 42:33Speaker 5: like if it's back from twenty twenty two, it may
- 42:35Speaker 5: not have been above board.
- 42:36Speaker 2: Yeah, they're protecting against the milk.
- 42:38Speaker 4: I mean when he was a red shirt freshman, not
- 42:40Speaker 4: even dressing. Yeah, any bet on his team, and if
- 42:43Speaker 4: you bet on his team to win, like that's the
- 42:44Speaker 4: other thing. People, well you only bet on his team, went,
- 42:46Speaker 4: that doesn't matter. You can't open that box.
- 42:49Speaker 2: No, it's why it actually hurt. Pete Rose's statements more
- 42:53Speaker 2: than helped it.
- 42:54Speaker 4: In my opinions, you just can't off and running. We're
- 42:56Speaker 4: go to be buying or selling eight seven seven seven
- 42:59Speaker 4: nine four. The three gets you in. It's the hotel.
