- 1:49Speaker 3: to you now, boys, to begin today, we realize that
- 1:53Speaker 3: there are smart and good looking listeners that have are
- 1:55Speaker 3: observing lent and they've made sacrifices. Maybe we gave up
- 1:59Speaker 3: dessert one, you know. Maybe they gave up swearing, tried
- 2:03Speaker 3: to swearing. Maybe there's a you know, no chewing tobacco,
- 2:08Speaker 3: whatever it is.
- 2:08Speaker 2: People are making those sacrifices. Who knew that after last
- 2:11Speaker 2: night we have.
- 2:12Speaker 3: To put pasta and pizza and Italian canoli's onto the
- 2:16Speaker 3: list of things we have to now live without for
- 2:19Speaker 3: a while because Italy beat tam Usa in the World
- 2:22Speaker 3: Base and it's my fault.
- 2:24Speaker 6: And it's my fault because you well, I'm just saying
- 2:27Speaker 6: I rolled up when I thought RIGATONI was a great
- 2:29Speaker 6: idea for last night. Well even the thought it was,
- 2:31Speaker 6: and unfortunately I think it was my fault. I'm sitting
- 2:34Speaker 6: there making pasta at home, and I realize I'm the problem.
- 2:37Speaker 6: I'm I'm I'm putting the bad vibes out there. Next thing,
- 2:39Speaker 6: I know, we're losing Italy.
- 2:40Speaker 4: But now the real question, the question that I got,
- 2:43Speaker 4: is I have this uh, this burrito. This is this
- 2:45Speaker 4: breakfast burrito trouble. Actually tonight, don't we need some ZD?
- 2:51Speaker 4: I feel I feel like I feel like Anthony Junior
- 2:54Speaker 4: when you walked out.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Wait, no ZDI, no ZD.
- 2:59Speaker 4: Yeah, now we do because now we need ZD tonight,
- 3:01Speaker 4: and we need a lot of ZD. We need some
- 3:03Speaker 4: ZD Lasagnia, maybe a couple of pizzas to come on in.
- 3:05Speaker 3: You make all right, Well, then put that burrito away
- 3:08Speaker 3: and we'll go boil some Waterta goodness crazy.
- 3:12Speaker 6: You shouldn't have had hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I'm American.
- 3:18Speaker 6: Some shocking results to wake up to that, damn and
- 3:21Speaker 6: everything else, and.
- 3:22Speaker 2: It's like, okay, you lost.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Italy can lose a baseball game, right, The jv can
- 3:26Speaker 3: beat the Varsity on any one out of one hundred times.
- 3:29Speaker 2: You're story eight to nothing, eight to nothing.
- 3:33Speaker 3: They were lucky to make it that close in a
- 3:36Speaker 3: circumstance where run differential can make a difference.
- 3:38Speaker 4: Well in doctor Rosa managing the team and talking to
- 3:41Speaker 4: his buddies on MLB Central earlier in the morning, and yeah,
- 3:45Speaker 4: you talked to him, Yeah, yeah, And he said, well,
- 3:47Speaker 4: you know, it's it's fun you we want to win
- 3:49Speaker 4: this game tonight, but you know, we got our ticket punch,
- 3:51Speaker 4: so it's fun.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Mark.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Hello, I'm sorry. I misspoke.
- 3:55Speaker 4: No, you misread or misunderstood, and I think that may
- 4:00Speaker 4: be the wrong miss but the real miss was Bryce Harper,
- 4:03Speaker 4: what's up? Why do we not have the best players
- 4:06Speaker 4: rolling up in the game. It does make sense when
- 4:09Speaker 4: either one manager doesn't know what the situation is or
- 4:14Speaker 4: and this is the interesting one, this is the one
- 4:16Speaker 4: that maybe we don't like to hear. Maybe we had
- 4:19Speaker 4: to make sure everybody got their at bats. Maybe we
- 4:21Speaker 4: had to make sure everybody got their touches. Maybe we
- 4:23Speaker 4: had to make sure there weren't any feelings hurt over
- 4:25Speaker 4: there on a thirty eight year old Paul Goldschmidt or something.
- 4:27Speaker 4: We need to be running the best cats out there.
- 4:29Speaker 4: But it would make sense, Drew, if we don't realize
- 4:32Speaker 4: what the situation entails, you can all of a sudden
- 4:36Speaker 4: be sitting there and getting expressoed like that. Third base
- 4:41Speaker 4: dugout that Italian celebration is phenomenal. Passmentino in an espressoine
- 4:47Speaker 4: right at the end, and they got White Sox catchers
- 4:51Speaker 4: getting shots double shots of expresso with an Appo taco
- 4:54Speaker 4: into the Crawford boxes.
- 4:55Speaker 3: That was disgusting.
- 4:56Speaker 6: Yeah, well, the idea that these guys are you know,
- 4:58Speaker 6: straight out Anapoli or you know straight you know, straight
- 5:01Speaker 6: out of it, you know Naples and you know, straight
- 5:03Speaker 6: out of uh uh, you know.
- 5:06Speaker 4: Try Okay, they're from they're from the northwest suburbs of Illinois.
- 5:10Speaker 6: Michael Lorenz and sayda's weird going against my country.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Wow, what country is it? Then?
- 5:14Speaker 2: I mean you're wearing the Italian uniform.
- 5:17Speaker 5: Nona would not like him saying that that was a
- 5:19Speaker 5: little weird too, But yeah, that is an electric celebration,
- 5:21Speaker 5: although I'm not I'm not really sure what they The
- 5:24Speaker 5: whole thing's been weird, and DeRosa is someone advising him
- 5:29Speaker 5: like how did that happen?
- 5:31Speaker 6: Like I get you know, he's the manager, so ultimately
- 5:33Speaker 6: it's on him, But there shouldn't be somebody with Team
- 5:36Speaker 6: USA Baseball letting him know like, this is what we
- 5:38Speaker 6: need to do, this is the tournament structure, this is
- 5:40Speaker 6: what our advice is for you, or or do you.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Get to figure all that out his own? He did
- 5:44Speaker 3: a bad job with that.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Drew.
- 5:46Speaker 4: My guess is, uh, there was a frustrated PR guy
- 5:49Speaker 4: sitting right there in the corner after he gets off
- 5:52Speaker 4: that interview with the guy it's on MLB network.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Saying hey, you know, we're not actually in man because
- 5:58Speaker 3: it shresey like he man and now now they don't
- 6:02Speaker 3: control their destiny. They need they need some stuff to happen.
- 6:05Speaker 3: If Italy wins.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Italy wins, the United States advances, okay, if Mexico wins,
- 6:11Speaker 4: it's gonna we got a logjam at three and one,
- 6:13Speaker 4: and then the tiebreaker becomes which two teams advance to
- 6:16Speaker 4: the quarterfinals, and that runs allowed per out recorded well,
- 6:22Speaker 4: and there's where the eight spot last night is so
- 6:25Speaker 4: insanely massive. Now being able to put up some runs
- 6:28Speaker 4: helps you out.
- 6:29Speaker 3: If the Italy Mexico game goes nine innings and Mexico
- 6:32Speaker 3: wins and scores five or more, the US would then
- 6:36Speaker 3: advance with Mexico. If Mexico wins while scoring four or fewer,
- 6:40Speaker 3: it's Mexico and Italy on to the next round, to
- 6:43Speaker 3: the knockout round. Where do you think they'd work together
- 6:45Speaker 3: on that?
- 6:45Speaker 6: Do you think there'd be any collusion to try and
- 6:47Speaker 6: keep the score low in one situation where they would wait?
- 6:49Speaker 3: Are you thinking this is like they got a bunch
- 6:51Speaker 3: of bam out of bios on there late the events
- 6:55Speaker 3: like this is like this is what the buffet is
- 6:57Speaker 3: so bountiful. US loses a shocking game to Italy, which again,
- 7:01Speaker 3: how shocking is it really one baseball game?
- 7:03Speaker 2: It's like a spring training game where you.
- 7:05Speaker 3: Know it's shocking.
- 7:06Speaker 2: College of the Canyons beats a big league team, like okay.
- 7:09Speaker 4: But when it's billed as the mon Stars, and all
- 7:12Speaker 4: you think is like this is going to be an
- 7:14Speaker 4: Angola situation every single time they grab a bat. That's
- 7:17Speaker 4: where the shocking part is it is a baseball game
- 7:20Speaker 4: at the end of the day.
- 7:20Speaker 3: What's the biggest story today is that the baseball game
- 7:23Speaker 3: in the World Baseball Classic with the US shockingly losing Italy,
- 7:27Speaker 3: which you don't expect. And again, like we said, there's
- 7:29Speaker 3: a bunch of good happen, yeah, a bunch of yeah,
- 7:32Speaker 3: a bunch of major league players on the Italian team.
- 7:34Speaker 3: So I hated having to be happy that Peter Armstrong
- 7:36Speaker 3: had two dingers. But is that the best story of
- 7:40Speaker 3: the day? Is it? Bam out of Bio scoring eighty
- 7:43Speaker 3: three to pass Kobe Bryant, his childhood hero and eighty
- 7:47Speaker 3: three points in an NBA game?
- 7:49Speaker 2: Ate it and abedded by some fouling and weird.
- 7:52Speaker 3: You know, get him the ball and pump up the
- 7:55Speaker 3: score to let him get to that lofty mark.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Some would say, pass the ball to the Italians for
- 7:59Speaker 4: a streaming situations.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that movie exactly.
- 8:03Speaker 3: And then the third thing is like the Max Crosby
- 8:06Speaker 3: trade is a whoops, not so fast fail the physical
- 8:10Speaker 3: that makes you arch and eyebrow really just sure, really
- 8:14Speaker 3: like he's coming off that thing, Like there's is there
- 8:16Speaker 3: any medical file in the any player in the NFL
- 8:19Speaker 3: that you couldn't fail them and strike a trade. But
- 8:21Speaker 3: clearly something else is in play here in my in
- 8:23Speaker 3: my my spidy sense is tingling that this isn't just well, he's.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Not recovering from his meniscus.
- 8:28Speaker 4: It's like somebody didn't put on their wool socks because
- 8:31Speaker 4: there's some cold feet in a Baltimore Ravens film.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Big time. So those are the three biggest plates we
- 8:37Speaker 3: got sspen in. Meanwhile, here among the tyre and Strip
- 8:39Speaker 3: club ads, the Brewers can continue to prepare for their season.
- 8:43Speaker 3: The Bucks dump another game to Phoenix where they tried
- 8:46Speaker 3: a little harder and still lost fifty thirty six minutes
- 8:49Speaker 3: of it. It was good fifteen another fifteen minute loss,
- 8:52Speaker 3: and then we have, uh, what's the other plate to me? Oh?
- 8:56Speaker 3: Of course, like packers leaving in. Every time we get
- 8:59Speaker 3: off the air, there's news. And yesterday's festivities included Romeo
- 9:04Speaker 3: Dobbs getting w R one money from New England.
- 9:06Speaker 4: And big time cash and Rashie Walker still sitting there.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Yet we were like one white Bronco away from another.
- 9:11Speaker 4: June seventeenth, nineteen ninety four thirty for thirty yesterday, I
- 9:15Speaker 4: would say, like a Kirkland brand of that.
- 9:16Speaker 3: But yes, right, I mean.
- 9:17Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. We need We needed a big
- 9:20Speaker 4: time center to add into it. But that was those
- 9:23Speaker 4: are memorable ones. Yesterday, the Crosby thing is hilarious to me.
- 9:27Speaker 4: Where you have an organization that has been build and
- 9:31Speaker 4: prided upon being one of the best run, most honored
- 9:37Speaker 4: organizations since they moved to Baltimore, and the Ravens do
- 9:41Speaker 4: a botch yesterday drew that the only thing that it's
- 9:44Speaker 4: going to do is hinder them from making all in
- 9:48Speaker 4: every move possible going forward. Oh yeah, not only from
- 9:51Speaker 4: an agent side with players, but with every other team
- 9:54Speaker 4: raising an eyebrow as do when is the other shoe
- 9:56Speaker 4: gonna drop? And you potentially get cold fee because that's
- 9:59Speaker 4: the only way that this happens. He's eight weeks out
- 10:01Speaker 4: of a miniscus surgery and according to Scheffy, just put
- 10:05Speaker 4: this out and he had a statement from Neil Elatrosh,
- 10:07Speaker 4: who did the surgery a couple of months ago, like
- 10:10Speaker 4: just got off crutches like two or three weeks ago.
- 10:12Speaker 6: Now, I love the goodness surgeons because statements in there
- 10:14Speaker 6: too of the organs.
- 10:16Speaker 4: What you're ultimately doing is attacking potentially the work that
- 10:19Speaker 4: one of the more distinguished guys in the dude that
- 10:21Speaker 4: does just about every single knee surgery.
- 10:24Speaker 3: Yeah, in the league.
- 10:26Speaker 4: You're questioning the way that he in the way that
- 10:28Speaker 4: the body's recovering from something.
- 10:29Speaker 3: There.
- 10:30Speaker 4: There's obviously going to be personal feeling there and strife.
- 10:33Speaker 4: And then you got thirty one other teams saying I
- 10:35Speaker 4: don't necessarily know that I trust you, and I didn't
- 10:38Speaker 4: believe that there was in any way possible a way
- 10:41Speaker 4: that people would all feel bad for the Raiders.
- 10:43Speaker 3: But now the Raiders might.
- 10:44Speaker 4: Be coming out here with spending the most money and
- 10:47Speaker 4: getting the best pass rusher on the market because they
- 10:49Speaker 4: might not be able to trade him after that Drew.
- 10:52Speaker 6: Imagine if you're a Ravens fan today, you think you
- 10:54Speaker 6: got this. I mean, imagine if we were sitting there
- 10:56Speaker 6: when we got Micah. Imagine if two days later someone
- 10:59Speaker 6: took that toy away from you. You know what I mean,
- 11:01Speaker 6: on Christmas morning when jerseys were printed. I just can't
- 11:04Speaker 6: imagine what would what would have happened around here. So, man, man,
- 11:07Speaker 6: I know, if Ravens fans field they wanted Max Crosby.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Do they then pivot?
- 11:12Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 11:12Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson. I was gonna say, not the same player.
- 11:15Speaker 4: No, but they'll feel a little bit better when they
- 11:17Speaker 4: get Trey hendricks In for a little bit less money
- 11:20Speaker 4: and they get their fourteenth pick overall.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Oh and then like what about the tectonic plates, Like
- 11:24Speaker 3: if you're in Dallas, like, oh, well, we could have
- 11:26Speaker 3: like maybe raid and run at that guy, or it's right,
- 11:28Speaker 3: and then we got Rashan Garry or do we go
- 11:30Speaker 3: get both we double up?
- 11:31Speaker 2: Well, this is your.
- 11:32Speaker 3: Second chance, right are Patriots?
- 11:33Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta check.
- 11:34Speaker 6: Telling you if you're telling your fan base or yourself that, man,
- 11:37Speaker 6: we really should have done this.
- 11:38Speaker 3: This is your chance to put your money where your
- 11:39Speaker 3: mouth to double up the way the Patriots might if
- 11:41Speaker 3: they now have Dobs and if they pay a j
- 11:43Speaker 3: Brown get two guys like oh.
- 11:45Speaker 2: I have two is better than one.
- 11:46Speaker 4: Well, you saw a lot of different teams immediately said
- 11:49Speaker 4: well we've already moved on. We've moved on. We're not
- 11:52Speaker 4: planning on doing that. Well, plans change, brother, and I
- 11:54Speaker 4: could imagine within the next twenty four hours, there's a
- 11:57Speaker 4: lot of plans that potentially changed. Let's just get that
- 12:00Speaker 4: trade consummated at the soonest possible moment three to zero
- 12:06Speaker 4: one central today, idiot, when that new league year starts,
- 12:10Speaker 4: that language filed to the league, get the fourth round
- 12:13Speaker 4: pick for Rashaan Gary and don't let them back out
- 12:16Speaker 4: of this one, because hey, you don't want this to
- 12:18Speaker 4: be the chain of events and all of a sudden
- 12:19Speaker 4: you're in the collision and you don't get this nice
- 12:21Speaker 4: little fourth round pick that we thought was a beautiful,
- 12:23Speaker 4: shiny object yesterday, Because you're right, the Dobs deal gives
- 12:28Speaker 4: a sizeable wide receiver one money where the Packers might
- 12:32Speaker 4: end up getting close to another fourth with him. If
- 12:36Speaker 4: the Malik Willis one doesn't ultimately turn into a third
- 12:40Speaker 4: round pick, they could be littered with four or five
- 12:42Speaker 4: fourth round picks going into next year. And Rashid Walker
- 12:45Speaker 4: still sitting out there is rather surprising to me, and
- 12:47Speaker 4: I wonder if anybody green bands up circling back like
- 12:51Speaker 4: there starts to reach a point where you think everything's
- 12:55Speaker 4: off the table because so many guys went within the
- 12:57Speaker 4: first twelve hours. There are still good players. There are
- 13:00Speaker 4: some really headline guys out there, but there's also now
- 13:04Speaker 4: that that's the second wave of free agency, and this
- 13:07Speaker 4: is usually where the packers start cooking. This is yeah,
- 13:09Speaker 4: this is usually traditionally packers free agencies and the second
- 13:13Speaker 4: lay once the second wave starts hitting.
- 13:15Speaker 3: And to your question, wait a minute, I was just
- 13:18Speaker 3: gonna say, because then then you just gave me a
- 13:19Speaker 3: little flashback, because this is like the Nate Hobbs wave
- 13:23Speaker 3: where they usually the waters where they usually surface, and
- 13:25Speaker 3: that where they got them Nate Hobbs.
- 13:27Speaker 4: Sadly they've spent on him within the first like four
- 13:29Speaker 4: hours last year they went, they splashed quickly for him
- 13:33Speaker 4: and bang right after they hit gold on day one
- 13:36Speaker 4: with Jacobson McKinnon. Maybe that maybe this is the reaction
- 13:40Speaker 4: to the Hobbs deal though Drew where it's like, hey,
- 13:43Speaker 4: we did get burned last year on day one.
- 13:44Speaker 3: Why don't we sit back and do what we've always done.
- 13:46Speaker 3: Let's let it come to us.
- 13:49Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't get so gunshy just because you know
- 13:52Speaker 6: you missed on Jonathan's scope though.
- 13:53Speaker 2: That that's the thing I will past.
- 13:56Speaker 6: But hey, listen, and to your original question, when you
- 13:59Speaker 6: when you spind all these stories and you ask what's
- 14:02Speaker 6: the biggest story, I'll respect the team USA and this
- 14:05Speaker 6: is the United States of America. The NFL free agency
- 14:07Speaker 6: is still the top story, and Max Crosby situation is
- 14:10Speaker 6: still the one story. This is still the US, this
- 14:12Speaker 6: is still American football.
- 14:14Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah yeah.
- 14:16Speaker 4: But like the thing and and and the other one too,
- 14:19Speaker 4: with with how shocking both of them were last night,
- 14:24Speaker 4: I kind of I kind of wondered if there was
- 14:25Speaker 4: a hack, Like when I first got the notification actually
- 14:28Speaker 4: from Underdog.
- 14:29Speaker 3: Fantasy was the first one that hit the Fallow body.
- 14:31Speaker 4: The update day at it before Sheefty even had it,
- 14:33Speaker 4: and now he was on a plane because we had
- 14:35Speaker 4: to hear about that. I did a media I did
- 14:38Speaker 4: like the the suddenness of the memes that hit the
- 14:42Speaker 4: internet of damn.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns are just looking at the shaking their heads. Wait,
- 14:47Speaker 3: you could back out of trades?
- 14:50Speaker 4: What even? There are so many different teams that are
- 14:53Speaker 4: sitting back here saying, man, we could have gotten out,
- 14:56Speaker 4: gotten out of so many bad deals. And here's Jimmy
- 14:59Speaker 4: Haslam calling into everybody in the Cleveland Browns organization. Hey
- 15:02Speaker 4: see if we can rescind that thing from three years ago,
- 15:05Speaker 4: See if there's any way that we can get a
- 15:06Speaker 4: void in this situation. Hilarious from the Ravens last night.
- 15:10Speaker 4: But I also do like the fact that the Bucks
- 15:13Speaker 4: just wide on in there. Ten thousand points for Kyle Kuzma. Surprising,
- 15:18Speaker 4: everybody's gonna go on bam Adebios eighty three. And the
- 15:21Speaker 4: most surprising thing to me it was that Kyle Kuzma's
- 15:23Speaker 4: a ten thousand point score.
- 15:24Speaker 6: And yeah, they scored ten thousand in this league and
- 15:27Speaker 6: already too.
- 15:28Speaker 3: I mean, that's kind of what it is. I thought
- 15:29Speaker 3: maybe ad.
- 15:30Speaker 6: Near the end of his career he would get one.
- 15:31Speaker 6: Maybe that is close to it. But yeah, that is
- 15:34Speaker 6: pretty surprising. I didn't expect that either. Yeah, it's just
- 15:38Speaker 6: a hallucination of events. When you see the BAM number
- 15:41Speaker 6: and when you see the WBC result and you see
- 15:43Speaker 6: the Max Crosby situation.
- 15:45Speaker 3: And you're like, what is this real?
- 15:48Speaker 6: What kind of reality is this that we're in universe
- 15:50Speaker 6: or the west normal thing is that Adam Shepard told
- 15:52Speaker 6: everybody he was on a plane and doing some work,
- 15:55Speaker 6: like doing work from a plane or an unusual situation
- 15:58Speaker 6: because he loves doing let everyone know he was I'm
- 16:00Speaker 6: in the shower, I had to pull into a cemetery
- 16:02Speaker 6: parking lot to do this, and stuff like that. And
- 16:05Speaker 6: he's like, I'm on a plane because you better believe
- 16:07Speaker 6: he's getting the Wi Fi.
- 16:08Speaker 4: When it's free to see and and just moments ago,
- 16:10Speaker 4: rap Sheet Raiders star Max Crosby, now back from Baltimore
- 16:14Speaker 4: with the trade and of the Ravens being off, is
- 16:17Speaker 4: headed back into the building in Las Vegas, ready to
- 16:19Speaker 4: resume his training and rehab program.
- 16:21Speaker 3: His mindset.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Crosby is ready to play football for the Raiders, ready
- 16:26Speaker 4: to move forward.
- 16:27Speaker 3: Sure, sure he is, Wow, Sure they are right. I'm
- 16:30Speaker 3: sure he's showing up that he was looking for townhouses
- 16:33Speaker 3: in Fell's Point and now he's right back doing power
- 16:36Speaker 3: cleans in the in the in the facility in Vegas.
- 16:38Speaker 4: But I mean, like I do I actually feel bad
- 16:41Speaker 4: for him. I mean like this is kind of an
- 16:42Speaker 4: embarrassing moment for Max Crosby, where like he's the belly
- 16:45Speaker 4: of the beast, He's the conversation, He's what everybody wants
- 16:48Speaker 4: to talk about in free agency. There's what over a
- 16:52Speaker 4: billion dollars given out on contracts day one. Still he's
- 16:55Speaker 4: the headline story from a couple of days ago, and
- 16:58Speaker 4: Drew all he wanted to do was post that picture
- 17:00Speaker 4: on his Instagram story with the Wire theme song as
- 17:03Speaker 4: the backdrop as he's flying and landing into Baltimore last
- 17:07Speaker 4: night and instead he's got a fly Home Salt, the
- 17:09Speaker 4: Fly Home Salty.
- 17:10Speaker 3: So now Nora the And then with the Packers, with
- 17:14Speaker 3: the release of Elton Jenkins, they tried to pull over
- 17:16Speaker 3: Sean Gary and get something for him, and apparently the
- 17:19Speaker 3: medicals didn't work on that end, and they realizing that
- 17:22Speaker 3: they released him with an injury distinction and interesting from
- 17:25Speaker 3: the cap experts or the police online that it's good
- 17:30Speaker 3: and it's going to be important for Packers fans to
- 17:33Speaker 3: be able to see if he makes it and content
- 17:35Speaker 3: is able to actually play with the Browns, because otherwise
- 17:38Speaker 3: some of that money would have ended up and hitting
- 17:41Speaker 3: their cap with the injury designation.
- 17:44Speaker 4: But he goes to the Browns two years, twenty four million.
- 17:46Speaker 4: Good for him. But yeah, quickly, yeah, we don't like
- 17:49Speaker 4: what we saw. That's why we moved on. Yeah, that
- 17:52Speaker 4: was why that was why Els moved on. The last
- 17:55Speaker 4: year of Elton's tenure in Green Bay has provided some
- 17:59Speaker 4: of the one of your conversations post what everybody would
- 18:03Speaker 4: have just consensuously thought.
- 18:04Speaker 3: He's low key had one of the more interesting story
- 18:07Speaker 3: arcs of recent Packers, because the first couple of years
- 18:12Speaker 3: it looked like you're watching a guy who's gonna ticket
- 18:14Speaker 3: it for the Hall of Fame.
- 18:14Speaker 2: And I don't mean the Packer Hall of Fame.
- 18:16Speaker 3: I mean the one with the century twenty one jackets
- 18:19Speaker 3: in Canton. And then all of a sudden, it's like, oh,
- 18:22Speaker 3: we don't know, you're not gonna get that. We just
- 18:24Speaker 3: got to him out.
- 18:24Speaker 2: We gotta play tackle, We got to play me tackle.
- 18:27Speaker 3: WHOA like his first couple of years, the way he
- 18:29Speaker 3: was playing is like, this guy is a may this
- 18:31Speaker 3: guy is a Swiss Army knife. This guy is a
- 18:33Speaker 3: you know, look at the skills he's showing. Look at
- 18:35Speaker 3: the versatility. He's incredible. He's gonna be a mainstay. He's
- 18:39Speaker 3: gonna play here fifteen years now, not for long in NFL.
- 18:43Speaker 4: I wonder if there would be a cautionary tale against
- 18:46Speaker 4: their cross training and continue to push versatility and everything
- 18:49Speaker 4: mantra where hey man, you got a guy that right
- 18:52Speaker 4: now is a dude and a stud over at left guard,
- 18:55Speaker 4: Maybe you just let him be a great left guard.
- 18:57Speaker 3: But you always want a tanker, You always want a
- 18:59Speaker 3: little bit more.
- 19:00Speaker 4: You always want to get a little bit more squeeze
- 19:02Speaker 4: out of that orange and he just slides down to
- 19:06Speaker 4: But I still love last year, the holdout waiting for
- 19:09Speaker 4: the guaranteed money to come back after the position change. Well, Elton,
- 19:13Speaker 4: how do you feel after that position change? I know
- 19:15Speaker 4: you didn't work out in any of the offseason workouts
- 19:17Speaker 4: and team activities. I like the move. I actually brought
- 19:21Speaker 4: it up. Oh, holy cow, Holy cow, was your idea?
- 19:25Speaker 3: I like that. I didn't even realize that. Let's check
- 19:27Speaker 3: that one down. Elton brought it up.
- 19:30Speaker 4: Great clothes to a good career in Green Bay, and
- 19:34Speaker 4: now it could also met you a little bit of
- 19:36Speaker 4: something maybe on the compensatory market next year.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Who knows.
- 19:38Speaker 3: We'll see hot take hump day is here. Oh baby,
- 19:42Speaker 3: it's halftime of the week. We'll get to halftime with
- 19:43Speaker 3: Scott Dolphin coming up at about six thirty. You gotta

- 19:49Speaker 2: Come on, Mark, figure it out.
- 19:51Speaker 6: You know he's he's gonna be nervous watching his game.
- 19:53Speaker 6: It better work out the way he wants. There are a
- 19:55Speaker 6: lot of people gonna be kind of side eying that
- 19:57Speaker 6: whole situation.
- 19:58Speaker 3: Elf El, hef him on. Greenberg joins us at seven thirty. Admirals, Uh,
- 20:02Speaker 3: not winning on the ice, winning at the gate. Yeah,

- 20:10Speaker 3: but we watch your hot takes eight seven, seven, seven,
- 20:12Speaker 3: nine to four one ninety seven three. You're in the
- 20:16Speaker 3: huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. We are huddled up
- 20:24Speaker 3: on a Wednesday hump Day and the good lad Drew,
- 20:26Speaker 3: Billy and Armon bringing it to you from headquarters nine
- 20:29Speaker 3: twenty Milwaukee, ten seventy Madison everywhere in the iHeart app
- 20:32Speaker 3: having some fun streaming as well. Love the conversations on
- 20:35Speaker 3: the YouTube stream x Facebook wherever you may be enjoying us,
- 20:39Speaker 3: whether it's while we're doing this live or hours later.
- 20:43Speaker 2: I'm glad you're hanging out with us.
- 20:44Speaker 4: Whenever you came Wednesday, whenever you can get the show,
- 20:46Speaker 4: the hot takes are gonna hit the same way, right,
- 20:48Speaker 4: I mean, hot day com day works any time that
- 20:51Speaker 4: you consume it. And uh, you know, some of this
- 20:54Speaker 4: might ultimately be out of date once somebody listens to it,
- 20:58Speaker 4: you know. Twenty minutes later, because who knows what what
- 21:01Speaker 4: possibly could happen?
- 21:02Speaker 2: I could news moves fast fast after eight as it.
- 21:05Speaker 4: Moves fast after eight am when the rest of the
- 21:07Speaker 4: world wakes up. It is crazy how that get happen.
- 21:10Speaker 4: But the reaction in the post game feel is always
- 21:13Speaker 4: is always one of my favorite parts. And uh, today
- 21:15Speaker 4: there's gonna be a lot of people waking up saying,
- 21:17Speaker 4: wait a second, you gonna say love? I thought they
- 21:20Speaker 4: were supposed to bludgeoned everybody by ten and then.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Because of DeRosa, because not knowing that they had not
- 21:29Speaker 3: punched their ticket and were not automatically through to the
- 21:32Speaker 3: quarterfinals yet.
- 21:33Speaker 2: And as Andy and west Bend points out, there's.
- 21:35Speaker 3: A ten year major league veteran in an IVY league
- 21:38Speaker 3: guy who didn't know the rules.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Dude, I can I mean, oh boy, that.
- 21:43Speaker 3: A good look.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Well, and Drew, I've thought about the most thankless jobs
- 21:48Speaker 4: in sports man topic. Manager of Team USA is right
- 21:53Speaker 4: near the top of the list. Right, like you, there's
- 21:57Speaker 4: a no win situation when you're the head coach of
- 21:59Speaker 4: team U say basketball, right, The only way we remember
- 22:03Speaker 4: you is if you drop a game and you're the
- 22:05Speaker 4: dumbest guy of all time, and this one ultimately played
- 22:09Speaker 4: into it because he walked himself right into it.
- 22:11Speaker 3: All he had to.
- 22:12Speaker 4: Do was Mark, I appreciate it, and I know you
- 22:14Speaker 4: got a great day job. I actually think he's phenomenal
- 22:17Speaker 4: on television. I loved Rosa on that morning show.
- 22:19Speaker 3: He's awesome. His breakdowns. Pause right when he's in the middle,
- 22:24Speaker 3: right in the middle of a head, he's very good.
- 22:25Speaker 4: Look at this load up on the back foot, pause
- 22:27Speaker 4: right there.
- 22:28Speaker 2: His breakdowns are fun. But maybe we break take a
- 22:32Speaker 2: break from the breakdowns.
- 22:33Speaker 4: Maybe we just take a quick break, a good fifteen
- 22:36Speaker 4: day hiatus from going on every day. Because right now,
- 22:40Speaker 4: right now, Drew that MLB Central interview that he does
- 22:43Speaker 4: daily is gonna be musty TV.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Yeah, that might.
- 22:46Speaker 4: That might do better numbers than the game last night,
- 22:48Speaker 4: because I think there were a lot of.
- 22:49Speaker 2: People thinking, especially when there was eight to nothing the real.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Game was last night.
- 22:52Speaker 6: I think a real question for a lot of people
- 22:54Speaker 6: is you'd believe him when he says, even though he
- 22:56Speaker 6: bespoke on that show, he walked into the game knowing
- 23:00Speaker 6: that they weren't in it, and he managed, oh.
- 23:02Speaker 3: I'm sure someone correct, like Billy said, there's a pr
- 23:04Speaker 3: guy right right after they said all right.
- 23:08Speaker 6: The main accusation is that he was derelict in his
- 23:10Speaker 6: duty by not knowing and therefore managed that way. And
- 23:13Speaker 6: I think that's the main debate right now going on
- 23:15Speaker 6: with it, is if he truly did or not. Also,
- 23:18Speaker 6: the players have to come through. I made jokes about
- 23:20Speaker 6: Aaron Judge yesterday he had a chance. Now the reality
- 23:23Speaker 6: is coming back from eight nothing is tough, So you
- 23:24Speaker 6: don't want to get down eate nothing. But he did
- 23:26Speaker 6: have a chance to tie it up and the ninth
- 23:28Speaker 6: struck out, and that that was the ballgame.
- 23:30Speaker 3: That's the reality of it.
- 23:31Speaker 6: But uh yeah, I mean, you know it's gonna be
- 23:33Speaker 6: tough because the way he walked into it, like you said, Billy,
- 23:36Speaker 6: makes it a bad look. But I gotta think though
- 23:39Speaker 6: there's maybe it's not his job to know every tournament
- 23:42Speaker 6: rule that I go back and forth on this, some
- 23:44Speaker 6: staffers should know let him know, maybe so, or that
- 23:47Speaker 6: players should be, like, you know what, we're out there
- 23:48Speaker 6: to win anyway.
- 23:49Speaker 2: We should win these games no matter what he says.
- 23:51Speaker 3: So take some accountability, no the rules yourself.
- 23:53Speaker 4: Don't trust somebody else to know it, or you're you're
- 23:56Speaker 4: managing the team when you are the coach of the team,
- 23:59Speaker 4: that your job is to put everybody in the best
- 24:02Speaker 4: position possible, not to make sure you hire the person
- 24:05Speaker 4: to put you in.
- 24:06Speaker 3: The best position possible. But I totally get.
- 24:08Speaker 4: What you're saying on but you need to know this
- 24:11Speaker 4: stuff and now. But the player's part drew. I think
- 24:14Speaker 4: the interest. I do think that there's an interesting one.
- 24:16Speaker 4: And I was listening to it a lot this morning,
- 24:18Speaker 4: had a lot of time this morning, was up a
- 24:20Speaker 4: lot earlier than we had anticipated with that thunderstorm had
- 24:23Speaker 4: woken everybody up and just found out now just want
- 24:26Speaker 4: to bet. So I got a lot, a lot of
- 24:28Speaker 4: screen time this morning. I got to listen to the
- 24:29Speaker 4: Foul Territory Boys do their post game show from last night,
- 24:32Speaker 4: and Eric Kratz, former Brewer, was mentioning it with Todd Frazier,
- 24:37Speaker 4: who played on a WBC team won a WBC.
- 24:40Speaker 3: I believe he was.
- 24:41Speaker 4: On that team with Yelich that won it, played in
- 24:44Speaker 4: a bunch of different world team USA World Juniors when
- 24:47Speaker 4: he was coming up, and the way he had looked
- 24:51Speaker 4: at it and discussed it was that there's always been
- 24:53Speaker 4: a question if you are going to ever get all
- 24:56Speaker 4: of your best pitching.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Now we did get it.
- 24:58Speaker 4: Headlined with Paul Skenes is the name that everybody remembers.
- 25:01Speaker 4: But there's Nolan McLean, the McLean kid came in yesterday.
- 25:04Speaker 4: Great Stuff is a rookie. Great Stuff is a rookie.
- 25:07Speaker 4: But a rookie start in a game that you don't
- 25:08Speaker 4: necessarily you don't know if it's an important one, or
- 25:11Speaker 4: you don't know if it is the most important game.
- 25:14Speaker 4: I also do wonder, though, if he necessarily thought of
- 25:16Speaker 4: it Arman, and necessarily knew as he was managing it
- 25:19Speaker 4: throughout the game, because he did have Kershaw. Later into
- 25:22Speaker 4: the game, Kershaw walks up and rolls up and gives
- 25:24Speaker 4: up two or three more and tonight's game is almost
- 25:27Speaker 4: completely moved.
- 25:28Speaker 6: I'm saying that's I think that's why people have a
- 25:30Speaker 6: little spidery sense on that. Maybe another hot take for
- 25:33Speaker 6: Humpday is if you go three and one in pool play,
- 25:35Speaker 6: you should be advancing to the next round. So maybe
- 25:36Speaker 6: they should be playing a couple more games in pool play.
- 25:39Speaker 6: We already know this is a small samples ize sport.
- 25:41Speaker 6: We already know that the variation is high in these situations.
- 25:45Speaker 6: I mean, we know Chris Sins can shut down Albert
- 25:47Speaker 6: pool holes. In any given day in baseball, the worst
- 25:49Speaker 6: team can suit the best. Listen, it is what it is.
- 25:51Speaker 6: You have to play the tournament the way you do.
- 25:53Speaker 6: Maybe you had a couple more games, or maybe you
- 25:55Speaker 6: had a couple of Norman. I know, it's a baseball tournament,
- 25:58Speaker 6: so it's hard.
- 25:58Speaker 3: But that's the other one only had double elimination, true
- 26:01Speaker 3: to the NCAA tournament.
- 26:02Speaker 2: That's right, right, Like.
- 26:03Speaker 3: This is what you love about it?
- 26:04Speaker 6: You like?
- 26:05Speaker 3: You like them?
- 26:05Speaker 2: Back to the games are that intense?
- 26:07Speaker 3: Hey, I'm old enough to remember that in the final
- 26:10Speaker 3: four they used to have a consolation game plays game?
- 26:13Speaker 3: Can you imagine, like we just got beat and then
- 26:15Speaker 3: we gotta go play again?
- 26:16Speaker 6: Like, well, every other baseball tournament's a series, except where
- 26:19Speaker 6: I guess the old Olympics games they weren't.
- 26:21Speaker 2: But yeah, through well.
- 26:22Speaker 4: And uh you could hear Joe Davis Bloyd college grad.
- 26:26Speaker 4: Indeed he had mentioned it like throughout the game, like
- 26:30Speaker 4: a little different energy in the crowd here tonight. You
- 26:33Speaker 4: could tell that place was not nearly the same juice
- 26:37Speaker 4: as it had the.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Night before Mexico.
- 26:38Speaker 3: And now the Mexico loss was it was draining and
- 26:40Speaker 3: there it was yeah, you know, emotional, emotional game. And
- 26:44Speaker 3: then you come back and that day, on any given
- 26:47Speaker 3: to hashtag baseball, So on any given day, you know,
- 26:50Speaker 3: the US could lose a shocker and Bam out of
- 26:52Speaker 3: Bio can score eighty three and then a big, a
- 26:55Speaker 3: major trade can be rescinded. It's like this is again
- 27:00Speaker 3: the tectonic plates and sports are shifting. We are the
- 27:03Speaker 3: world's colliding. But the one thing that's constant is on Wednesdays,
- 27:06Speaker 3: we hump your hot takes eight seven, seven, seven nine.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Let's start taking them now now because we're gonna talk
- 27:13Speaker 3: a lot about BAM. I mean, I'm sorry, great feet,
- 27:17Speaker 3: great night, great Footnote. He's not immortal, he's not Wilt Kobe.
- 27:22Speaker 3: He's Bam out of Bio. Nice player, a good career.
- 27:25Speaker 3: But when I think of him, I think of Philip
- 27:28Speaker 3: Humber and Scooter Jeanett. M Philip Humber arguably, you know,
- 27:35Speaker 3: was with the White Sox like he was like regardle
- 27:38Speaker 3: as the worst guy to ever throw a perfect game. Yeah,
- 27:41Speaker 3: there's Scooter Jeannett. Yeah, probably the least hefty slugger to
- 27:46Speaker 3: hit four Homers in a game like you it was
- 27:49Speaker 3: a it's an immortal act by a non immortal guy
- 27:52Speaker 3: who will not be remembered for anything other than the
- 27:56Speaker 3: planets aligning on a given night, right, Yeah, but I.
- 28:00Speaker 4: Don't know what those guys where, they would be, Like
- 28:02Speaker 4: BAM's a Hall of Famer though, Like I mean, he's
- 28:04Speaker 4: a five time first Team All NBA Defense, like three time. Also,
- 28:07Speaker 4: like so he's he's he's he's a really really good player.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Hall of Fame.
- 28:11Speaker 2: But what you just said, what's he known for all defense?
- 28:15Speaker 3: Defense?
- 28:15Speaker 4: Yeah, he got me three, not dropping eighty three though,
- 28:18Speaker 4: But I also I don't necessarily know. Now I didn't
- 28:21Speaker 4: see the game, right, and I can't say that I
- 28:22Speaker 4: was dialed in on Wizards.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Uh, and you're watching the heat up thirty fouling so
- 28:28Speaker 3: that they can get him more opportunity.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like that was a little bit twisty, kind
- 28:32Speaker 4: of the same thing they did with Devin Booker a
- 28:34Speaker 4: couple of years ago when when he had his seventy
- 28:36Speaker 4: point game.
- 28:37Speaker 3: There was some action in there.
- 28:38Speaker 4: It's I don't necessarily know, because again I haven't watched
- 28:43Speaker 4: every moment of Kobe's eighty one point game from a
- 28:45Speaker 4: number of years ago. My hot take on it is like,
- 28:49Speaker 4: I don't necessarily know. This doesn't mean and isn't taking
- 28:52Speaker 4: anything away from Kobe. It feels like so many people
- 28:54Speaker 4: were like, now we need to protect Kobe Bryant's record
- 28:58Speaker 4: and integrity.
- 28:59Speaker 3: That's what it was about. It's all okay, it's all okay.
- 29:02Speaker 3: Nobody's questioning how great Kobe Bryant was. Nobody is taking
- 29:06Speaker 3: anything away from what Kobe Bryant did from what happened
- 29:08Speaker 3: last night twenty years ago. But it does feel like
- 29:11Speaker 3: immediately the Dukes come up differently when Kobe's name gets
- 29:14Speaker 3: invoked in anything.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Absolutely true, Absolutely true.
- 29:17Speaker 6: Yeah, my hot take about that one is well, well
- 29:20Speaker 6: to mention what you said, you don't remember the guys
- 29:22Speaker 6: that did, like the all time assists leader of Scott
- 29:24Speaker 6: Skyles in one game that kind of reminded me of that,
- 29:27Speaker 6: Like you can have flukey Knights, or these guys can
- 29:29Speaker 6: have flukey Knights. Mike Cameron had four home runs in
- 29:32Speaker 6: a game. Scooter see some players you know but not
- 29:35Speaker 6: you know, crazy things. But my hot take for this
- 29:38Speaker 6: last night would be right or not. Even if it's
- 29:41Speaker 6: not correct, this does more to hurt to continue the
- 29:44Speaker 6: pain of NBA perception from casual fans more than anything else.
- 29:48Speaker 6: People are saying, all right, well, I already thought this
- 29:50Speaker 6: league was a joke. But if we're in a world
- 29:52Speaker 6: there where Bam can score eighty three points and shoot
- 29:55Speaker 6: forty some free throws, it's just making it worse.
- 29:58Speaker 3: It's just whatever, it's run right percent. You know why
- 30:00Speaker 3: it stings even more is because he did it against
- 30:02Speaker 3: the team that swept the Bucks this year. That was
- 30:05Speaker 3: the worst. And that makes me think, all right, if
- 30:08Speaker 3: Giannis is gonna play, hey, doc, let's get Giannis into
- 30:12Speaker 3: the eighties. Let's see how many points we can get it.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Yeah, Like what do we care?
- 30:17Speaker 3: I mean, come on, like really are we are we
- 30:19Speaker 3: really trying to find some offensive cohesion here? Like we
- 30:22Speaker 3: really trying to run some sets? Like no, let's gets
- 30:24Speaker 3: the ball and get out of the way.
- 30:25Speaker 2: And I think make the free throws that Bam did
- 30:28Speaker 2: a good use. He made that forty some free throw
- 30:30Speaker 2: need a lot more times. Man made what forty three
- 30:33Speaker 2: free throw?
- 30:34Speaker 4: He took forty three? I think when thirty seven of
- 30:36Speaker 4: forty three something like that.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Yeah, and the last stuff like that, yep, yeah, And
- 30:40Speaker 3: it was it's fluky. They were fouling. Like up in
- 30:43Speaker 3: the game, they were fouling to get him the ball.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Wasn't fluky? Is my man?
- 30:46Speaker 4: Having thirty one in the first quarter, that was right,
- 30:49Speaker 4: Like I mean, him having forty three in the first
- 30:51Speaker 4: half wasn't wasn't fluking the last bit where they're getting
- 30:55Speaker 4: him the last fifteen points, that's the one that that.
- 30:57Speaker 2: Will wash over it. They were force feeding.
- 30:59Speaker 4: But I mean throughout throughout the rest of the game,
- 31:01Speaker 4: from what you could tell, it was not necessarily just
- 31:04Speaker 4: like get the ball to Bam night. I get it, arman,
- 31:07Speaker 4: But like I also think there's a certain amount of
- 31:09Speaker 4: people that are already set in their belief absolutely and
- 31:12Speaker 4: and and for your to your point, like it'll it
- 31:14Speaker 4: will be more you know, dirt that you can shovel
- 31:17Speaker 4: on to it.
- 31:18Speaker 3: But I don't know that those people want to watch
- 31:20Speaker 3: the NBA.
- 31:21Speaker 4: I agree, But I don't know that there's anybody that
- 31:23Speaker 4: is going to be that offended of what happened last night,
- 31:27Speaker 4: that is asking and hoping to come back to being
- 31:30Speaker 4: an NBA fan.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Yeah, this is confirmation bias.
- 31:32Speaker 6: I totally agree by those people who are already looking
- 31:35Speaker 6: for a reason to say, hey, the NBA stanks. The
- 31:37Speaker 6: NBA is a joke. Totally agree. But the question is
- 31:40Speaker 6: how do you eventually change their perception? How do you
- 31:42Speaker 6: how do you turn that that ship around? And you
- 31:44Speaker 6: might think on the surface, say a night like this
- 31:46Speaker 6: might draw attention. People will see an incredible feet and
- 31:49Speaker 6: say wow, And I don't think it will. I'm not
- 31:51Speaker 6: saying that that's right, Billy, And you're totally right. It's
- 31:53Speaker 6: a lot of confirmation bias. Those same people will just
- 31:56Speaker 6: use this as fuel to say the thing with Kobe
- 31:58Speaker 6: or you know, Jordan at sixty three, it was a
- 32:00Speaker 6: million times more impressive in one game. That might be
- 32:03Speaker 6: just the way it is, and there's no way around it.
- 32:05Speaker 6: But the once the highlight hits the internet of the
- 32:09Speaker 6: falling at the end is one that really really affects
- 32:13Speaker 6: people in that one. But you're right, Billy, some people
- 32:16Speaker 6: are just going to be setting their ways and there's
- 32:18Speaker 6: no change in their mind.
- 32:19Speaker 3: We're so dug in in this point. Bam scored eighty three.
- 32:23Speaker 3: Previously his career high was forty one, and before that
- 32:26Speaker 3: it was thirty eight. You add those two together and
- 32:29Speaker 3: it's not eighty three and then the.
- 32:31Speaker 4: Ultimate career high in the first half, the ultimate that
- 32:34Speaker 4: was wild.
- 32:35Speaker 3: That's wild, then the ultimate put on your Kevlar cup,
- 32:38Speaker 3: cup because here comes a kick. It was just last
- 32:41Speaker 3: week when the Bucks played the Celtics and scored eighty
- 32:44Speaker 3: one points as a team.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Bam outscored the Bucks. I mean I heard the Celtics.
- 32:50Speaker 3: I mean that's emotion had been. I think he's outscored
- 32:53Speaker 3: three times. There have been eleven games this season in
- 32:56Speaker 3: which a team failed to score eighty three points, and
- 32:59Speaker 3: the most was the Bucks last weeks. Damage. Yeah, but
- 33:04Speaker 3: I did just have the Tenzel moment. Well, you said eleven.
- 33:06Speaker 4: There was a sudden thought where I thought it was
- 33:08Speaker 4: all Bucks, So you could have actually convinced me that
- 33:12Speaker 4: here all eleven feats were.
- 33:13Speaker 3: There are eleven guys in NBA history have scored seventy
- 33:16Speaker 3: points in a game. Wilt did it six times, Kobe Luca,
- 33:21Speaker 3: David Thompson, Unbelievable Skywalker, uh, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, David Robinson,
- 33:27Speaker 3: Elgin Baylor, Joel Embiid, and Devin Booker.
- 33:31Speaker 2: So Bam cass, guys.
- 33:33Speaker 6: What's the funny thing is when we talk about this
- 33:35Speaker 6: game and you know was a gimmicky is the following
- 33:38Speaker 6: the one hundred point game by Wilt was the most
- 33:40Speaker 6: gimmicky of all. I mean, if you really look at
- 33:43Speaker 6: that game and what was going on in that game,
- 33:45Speaker 6: it was the ultimate gimmick game. Wasn't even on TV.
- 33:47Speaker 6: They played it in Hershey, some people think it doesn't exist.
- 33:50Speaker 6: Now I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but but but that
- 33:53Speaker 6: is the funny thing how we look at different feats
- 33:55Speaker 6: from the past and there are.
- 33:56Speaker 3: Not much like like in some ways, Wilton is like
- 33:59Speaker 3: bay Ruth. Yes, I think he played like one hundred
- 34:03Speaker 3: games in his career that might have been televised, so
- 34:06Speaker 3: there's not that much film with him.
- 34:08Speaker 6: What it comes down to is we want what we
- 34:10Speaker 6: perceive is the all time greats to do those feats.
- 34:13Speaker 3: That's what I believe. You know, even though there.
- 34:15Speaker 4: Was anything gimmicky about Will taking sixty three shots, I
- 34:18Speaker 4: know it was. And the thing was, there's you you
- 34:20Speaker 4: can't see video of it, so there wasn't It was
- 34:23Speaker 4: easy to create a mystical, kind of mythical logical story
- 34:27Speaker 4: around it because people couldn't see it for their own
- 34:29Speaker 4: eyes and say, this is kind of silly. But Wilt
- 34:32Speaker 4: made the game silly. Also back then it was.
- 34:34Speaker 6: Just a different era at different times he changed because
- 34:37Speaker 6: everything he did was superhuman. So I don't know, it's
- 34:41Speaker 6: just I think in terms of sports fans in Americans,
- 34:44Speaker 6: we want those great feats to be done by somebody
- 34:46Speaker 6: we see as an all time grade of the sport. Yeah,
- 34:48Speaker 6: we would have been like if Bo Jackson hit five
- 34:51Speaker 6: home formers in a game. That's different, you know, because
- 34:53Speaker 6: Bo was a superhuman figure.
- 34:55Speaker 3: But yeah, and the rest of him, again, he's going
- 34:58Speaker 3: to be in the dust ben of history.
- 34:59Speaker 2: But here it is.
- 35:00Speaker 3: On it.
- 35:00Speaker 2: Well, what we've all got on a Tuesday night in Miami.
- 35:02Speaker 4: It will be fun to click on during this basketball
- 35:05Speaker 4: reference research like I'm doing right now and be like, damn,
- 35:07Speaker 4: Luca Lucas scored seventy and shot seventy five percent from
- 35:10Speaker 4: the field.
- 35:11Speaker 3: That's crazy, It's pretty cool. Wait, under fifty percent from
- 35:16Speaker 3: the floor. That does that make sense? That makes Lucas
- 35:19Speaker 3: forty three shots.
- 35:21Speaker 2: Forty three shot three shot.
- 35:23Speaker 3: That's the most in a non overtime game since Kobe
- 35:26Speaker 3: took fifty shots in his final game of his career.
- 35:28Speaker 6: But what you see, like Jordan putting up sixty three
- 35:31Speaker 6: against the eighty six Celtics in the playoffs. There's a
- 35:33Speaker 6: there's an obvious difference even though they're both were taking
- 35:36Speaker 6: all the shots different level. I mean's all right, huca's
- 35:38Speaker 6: got the problems, bbility.
- 35:39Speaker 3: Yes, your hot takes eight seven, seven, seven nine four
- 35:42Speaker 3: one ninety seven three. Got some good ones holstered up
- 35:44Speaker 3: for you today. It's going to be some fun. You're
- 35:46Speaker 3: listening to the huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. What a
- 35:56Speaker 3: night Italy over the US bamae bio scores eighty three
- 36:00Speaker 3: and Max Crosby's trade not so fast? What a morning?
- 36:04Speaker 3: It's the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, Drew Billy and Arman. Wow,
- 36:08Speaker 3: Armist is rocking over there. I have no idea why
- 36:12Speaker 3: the last break you fire this in? Now we're really tall.
- 36:19Speaker 3: It's hot take hump day eight seven seven, seven nine
- 36:22Speaker 3: four one ninety seven three. Get us your hottest team
- 36:26Speaker 3: of hot takes on any topic. Bam out of bio
- 36:29Speaker 3: with eighty three? Is it tainted? It's gonna go down?
- 36:32Speaker 3: Did you see Yannis's reaction when informed just stunned by
- 36:36Speaker 3: forty three free throws? Was that?
- 36:38Speaker 4: Was that the number that caught him off guard. Was
- 36:40Speaker 4: there was there a little bit of celebration. I him
- 36:42Speaker 4: and Van Bama are kind of boys.
- 36:43Speaker 3: But by the way that the Heat's next game will
- 36:45Speaker 3: be against the Bucks.
- 36:48Speaker 2: Oh good, yeah they played. I think it's tomorrow.
- 36:52Speaker 3: Oh he's taking the night often right, And Jana said,
- 36:55Speaker 3: we'll try not to let him score eighty three. He's
- 36:57Speaker 3: gonna score eighty two, so we'll do our best for
- 36:59Speaker 3: him to score eighty two, not eighty.
- 37:01Speaker 6: Well, I appreciate no matter what's going on, he's always
- 37:04Speaker 6: got a joke. But Yanna said, he's always cracking something.
- 37:07Speaker 6: I love that about it.
- 37:08Speaker 3: So Giannis was told that Bam scored eighty three points
- 37:10Speaker 3: and took forty three free throws on the way, and
- 37:13Speaker 3: Yana said, quote, it doesn't matter how you got there.
- 37:16Speaker 2: All that matters is you got it.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Like in ten, twenty thirty years from now, no one's
- 37:20Speaker 3: gonna remember how many free throws he shot. I don't
- 37:22Speaker 3: think I remember how many shots Kobe shot, or how
- 37:24Speaker 3: many free throws he made or threes. All you remember
- 37:26Speaker 3: is eighty one Wilt one hundred. You don't remember how
- 37:30Speaker 3: they got there. So at the end of the day,
- 37:32Speaker 3: he got eighty three points, I'm like fouging for him
- 37:35Speaker 3: a little bit.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Oh nice, here's the same with what one of the
- 37:39Speaker 2: Bucks I have left? Eighteen twenty games something like that.
- 37:42Speaker 3: I think we have to pain paint ourselves that many
- 37:44Speaker 3: more times. Yep. So and again the Bucks thing, now,
- 37:50Speaker 3: it's been a debate. We talked about it on Saturday
- 37:52Speaker 3: on the TV show I do in Milwaukee. I love
- 37:55Speaker 3: that sports Saturdays, my favorite one. Right, should Yanis be playing?
- 37:58Speaker 3: And you can look at it saying but selfishly, it's like,
- 38:01Speaker 3: if he's going to be traded this summer, you want
- 38:02Speaker 3: as many opportunities to see him in the Bucks jersey
- 38:04Speaker 3: as possible. And why not now make it a mission
- 38:07Speaker 3: to get Gianis into the eighties. Yes, let's just have
- 38:10Speaker 3: an organization, crazy doc, let's go how many can Yana score?
- 38:14Speaker 3: Like and if he's feeling it and some nineteen men,
- 38:16Speaker 3: I'd be feeling it. But if he can, if he
- 38:17Speaker 3: gets twenty five in the first quarter, you roll. Then
- 38:21Speaker 3: you just abandon everything else. Just feed him and see
- 38:25Speaker 3: what we can do. Now you have to cherry pick
- 38:27Speaker 3: the opponent, like they didn't do it against the Wizards,
- 38:29Speaker 3: and they didn't do it against some of the dregs.
- 38:30Speaker 3: But did they have another game against Dallas?
- 38:32Speaker 4: Can get their Pacers next Sunday, so that or this Sunday,
- 38:37Speaker 4: This Sunday would be a great opportunity for it put
- 38:39Speaker 4: fifty five one of his career highs against the Pacers.
- 38:42Speaker 3: So take the ball and fight somebody on the way
- 38:43Speaker 3: on to the point. Though, Bam Autebaio eighty three points,
- 38:46Speaker 3: it's the second most, he passed Kobe.
- 38:48Speaker 2: He's in the record books.
- 38:50Speaker 3: You can't take that off the board, right, But Giannis
- 38:53Speaker 3: is fifty in the clinching game of the finals.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Will always be more impressed.
- 38:57Speaker 3: That's the thing. And obviously it's one you do it.
- 38:59Speaker 3: It's you doing it. That was I remember when I
- 39:03Speaker 3: was in the building that night and arm and you
- 39:05Speaker 3: were too, and this is like it's washing over you,
- 39:07Speaker 3: like the Bucks are gonna win a title for like,
- 39:09Speaker 3: you know, the first time in my.
- 39:11Speaker 2: Sentient life it fell non reality.
- 39:13Speaker 3: And then it's like okay, And then the only drama
- 39:15Speaker 3: was will he get to fifty. I'm like, that will
- 39:17Speaker 3: be immortal. I was sitting with my sprout who now
- 39:20Speaker 3: works for the Bucks, and this will be he needs
- 39:22Speaker 3: to get to fifty and he did, and then celebrated
- 39:25Speaker 3: the next day at Chick fil a.
- 39:26Speaker 6: God, that's the best. He's one of us, you know.
- 39:28Speaker 6: It was kind of one of those.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Uh.
- 39:31Speaker 6: I realized afterwards everyone was focused on the fifty and
- 39:33Speaker 6: I was focused on just making sure we won.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Well, you're a team guy that was making you're you're wei,
- 39:38Speaker 2: not me.
- 39:39Speaker 6: Well, I'm like, we cannot blow this lead.
- 39:42Speaker 3: Now, Like I'm like, it's crazy.
- 39:46Speaker 6: I'm like, get the ball with Chris, get double because
- 39:48Speaker 6: Patches messed a couple. Get the ball with Chris. But
- 39:51Speaker 6: then I'm like, all right, I guess we can. We're
- 39:52Speaker 6: okay now, I guess. I'm like, because you know, you
- 39:54Speaker 6: never know, Devin Booker might hit, Jay had a big night.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Frank Kaminski was killing us that night. I'm like, we
- 39:59Speaker 3: can't let this go down. Yeah, it was.
- 40:00Speaker 4: It was after the Middleton, the one Middleton fifteen footer
- 40:04Speaker 4: that that you could really start feeling it, but drew
- 40:07Speaker 4: just as as the energy was inside, not nearly as
- 40:11Speaker 4: raucous or as centralized, but just out of outside. There
- 40:15Speaker 4: was a big guy next to me that had like
- 40:17Speaker 4: a thirty foot boom that he put his camera up on.
- 40:21Speaker 4: Now this was five years later he would add a
- 40:23Speaker 4: sick drone and it would have been oh yeah, But
- 40:26Speaker 4: he goes, we're going to get some pretty cool shots. Brother,
- 40:28Speaker 4: and my man sitting there with the iPad just looking
- 40:31Speaker 4: at all the aerial shots that we're going like I
- 40:34Speaker 4: did get a little arm in melmowns.
- 40:35Speaker 3: All right, let's put that thing down. There are two
- 40:37Speaker 3: and a half minutes to go. Let's not let's not
- 40:39Speaker 3: be blocking anybody's eyes.
- 40:40Speaker 6: Here for the next minute. And I know you're go
- 40:42Speaker 6: looking for content. You're probably in the content business I'm in.
- 40:45Speaker 6: Then let's make sure we don't blow this business.
- 40:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:47Speaker 4: March fifteenth, Sunday, two thirty tip against the Pacers. Great
- 40:51Speaker 4: opportunity for the for the seventy burger. You want to
- 40:53Speaker 4: do it at home, right, otherwise you do go to Utah.
- 40:56Speaker 3: Bucks.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Don't necessarily play great against Utah.
- 40:58Speaker 3: You don't want that because the altitude that's gonna be the.
- 41:00Speaker 4: Tops gonna happen right Tuesday night, March thirty, first home
- 41:04Speaker 4: against Dallas.
- 41:06Speaker 3: That's that bad drew. That's a possibility for flust what
- 41:09Speaker 3: eight out of ten or something. They're tanking hard. Now.
- 41:12Speaker 4: The problem is we're gonna have to get Cooper out
- 41:14Speaker 4: of that game, right Like, I think he starts playing
- 41:16Speaker 4: too hard. It might not be as complicit as whatever
- 41:19Speaker 4: we're wearing the Wizards jerseys yesterday. Maybe the best opportunity
- 41:23Speaker 4: though for it. You circle it right here, and potentially
- 41:25Speaker 4: one of his last home games, if indeed he would
- 41:27Speaker 4: get moved at the end of the year. Sunday, April fifth,
- 41:32Speaker 4: two thirty tip against the Memphis Grizzlies, dropping eighty on that, We're.
- 41:39Speaker 3: Gonna like Kobe's last game of his career. Get him
- 41:42Speaker 3: fifty shots.
- 41:43Speaker 2: Every single shot possible, every single one, Yeah, and.
- 41:46Speaker 6: Then shower him with so much love he didn't want
- 41:47Speaker 6: to leave. He can't leave at that point. He's feeling
- 41:49Speaker 6: too good about what's going on. He's feeling too much lower.
- 41:52Speaker 6: He puts up eighties. Farewell first round picks. You got
- 41:55Speaker 6: a star players.
- 41:56Speaker 3: I value is always good, you know, right, eight seven
- 41:59Speaker 3: seven seven for one ninety seven three. Get us your
- 42:02Speaker 3: hottest of hot takes. We are going to be trafficking
- 42:04Speaker 3: in them all morning this morning, and there's plenty. Like
- 42:07Speaker 3: we said the Top stories World Baseball Classic Shocker US
- 42:11Speaker 3: loses to Italy is a choker yeah, I guess it is.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Then you have the Max Crosby trade rescinded. Hilarious, Yeah, hilarious,
- 42:19Speaker 3: maam out of bioscoring eighty three, Packers losing more people,
- 42:23Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs getting w R one money, and so basically
- 42:26Speaker 3: the Packers trader Romeo Dobs for Sky Moore, which you
- 42:30Speaker 3: know what, the western Michigan guy.
- 42:31Speaker 4: As long as he returns more kicks than Nicole Hardman
- 42:34Speaker 4: did last year.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it'll be it'll be a good it'll be
- 42:37Speaker 2: a good transaction.
- 42:38Speaker 6: It was good last year with returning kicks two wise
- 42:40Speaker 6: in sky By the way.
- 42:41Speaker 3: It's so funny because which fan base is vodka? Which
- 42:44Speaker 3: fan base is more upset about the Romeo Dobbs transaction
- 42:47Speaker 3: Packers fans who hope that maybe they could bring him back,
- 42:50Speaker 3: or Patriots fans who are like, that's not the guy
- 42:52Speaker 3: we want. Look at his numbers. They're diving into the numbers,
- 42:54Speaker 3: not realizing that Romeo Dobs is legit, and they're like,
- 42:56Speaker 3: he's never.
- 42:57Speaker 2: Had one hundred we're a lot of money.
- 42:58Speaker 4: He's never had one hundred target give him one hundred targets.
- 43:02Speaker 3: He's a good player, a solid player, and like the
- 43:05Speaker 3: you know, and I think Elliot Wolf.
- 43:07Speaker 2: Knows what he's doing.
- 43:08Speaker 4: He got the Christian Kirk reaction yesterday a little bit,
- 43:11Speaker 4: but everybody was letting you know they was gonna be close.
- 43:13Speaker 2: It was gonna be close to that absolutely.
- 43:15Speaker 3: And then it's like, oh, where's Kyler Murraga, the slow
- 43:18Speaker 3: play in the quarterback market, what's going on.
- 43:19Speaker 2: We'll discuss it all on Hot Take hump Day, on
- 43:21Speaker 2: the Huddle
