- 0:48And coming to your life from Kenny's basement apartment, where we have our bellies
- 0:53full of single bean taco soup and Kenny plans on clapping back tonight sports allegedly.
- 1:02Well, welcome, welcome, welcome, Thank you everyone for joining us
- 1:06for this episode on June tenth, twenty twenty four. We've got a lot
- 1:11to talk about. Going to talk a little UFL football as we get the
- 1:14championship game coming up this week. Obviously some m LB hockey's currently on right
- 1:19now, one nothing. The Oilers actually have the lead against Florida in game
- 1:25two of that best of seven. Obviously, we're going to talk about the
- 1:30NBA Championship, about that first game for the and softball. I'm sorry NCAA
- 1:38Baseball got the final eight for Omaha. But let's obviously start with the big
- 1:42news this week locally. The Oklahoma women Sooner softball team on Thursday mark their
- 1:49fourth straight national championship with the two to zero or the best of three series
- 1:57two wins over bitter rivals, a shut out a bitter rival of Texas,
- 2:02who, like I said, Sean both they were the best two best teams
- 2:07overall all year long. They swapped a little bit back and forth. OHU
- 2:12was obviously at the beginning of the year, till they lost. Texas come
- 2:15in immediately lost, and they kind of they switched back and forth series went
- 2:20in the three game series. Texas actually won that series two games to one.
- 2:24Oklahoma returns the favor and giving them a loss in the Big Twelve Championship,
- 2:30and then of course they go on and face each other last Wednesday and
- 2:36Thursday in the title game. Now, the one thing that I had said
- 2:42pretty much from the beginning of the year and even as it got into the
- 2:45year, that I didn't think OU was going to be as good as a
- 2:47team. I thought last year's team was one of the best all time.
- 2:51I think they had one lost total. Obviously, they set the win streak
- 2:53last year and they had seventy So they had two really good pitchers last season,
- 3:00and so with ball leaving, I thought that that was going to hurt
- 3:02them. Well, Maxwell steps up, and you know why watch Maxwell at
- 3:06os U. I thought she was a really good pitcher. I didn't think
- 3:08she had I didn't think she was a shutdown pitch yeah, and I and
- 3:14I was not not that I didn't think that she'd played or pitched well all
- 3:17year. That's the fly that I didn't think that she pitched well all year,
- 3:23but I think that everybody just turned it up. In the World Series.
- 3:28You look at the they did have the one the bad game against Florida,
- 3:32lost nine to three. That's when they had Florida had come out of
- 3:37the loser's bracket, had to beat them twice. Got the first game from
- 3:40OU, I think it was nine to three, and then OU turns around
- 3:45beats them, took eight innings to do it, only beat him by one
- 3:47run to get into the championship where Texas beat Kennedy and Stanford that first game
- 3:57and that was it. You know, Stanford had to beat them. I
- 4:00used to get in. Texas won game one and they got the extra day
- 4:02of rest. I thought the freshman pitcher that Cavon that they put out on
- 4:08Game one for Texas, I thought she was gonna be I mean, she
- 4:10was a star the whole year, and the hitters for Oklahoma showed up.
- 4:14It was impressive. I mean, you never count them out. There's been
- 4:16so many wins over their past four years. Those seniors that are leaving in
- 4:20some of the fifty years and yeah, and the fifth year seniors, but
- 4:25this year they finished fifty nine and seven, obviously won the Big twelve title,
- 4:30won their regional, won the Super Regional both in Norman, and then
- 4:34obviously won the national championship. Over the two hundred and fifty games of the
- 4:39past four years, two hundred and thirty four and fifteen, it's a nine
- 4:43to forty winning percentage. Zero shutouts, they were shutout none, they were
- 4:47run rulled none. And the thing about that was one hundred and fourteen shutouts
- 4:53forty nine percent of their wins and one hundred and thirty one run rules.
- 4:56That was fifty six percent of their wins over those four years were run rulled.
- 5:00It's nuts. I don't think you're ever going to see it. Obviously,
- 5:01they set the the longest winning streak in softball history, and then that
- 5:08puts Patty Gasso tied with the former Arizona coach for eight national championships. So
- 5:15what's next. What's next is I'm interest and see what she does in the
- 5:19offseason pitcher wise. Also to replace the five seniors that are leaving transfer portal
- 5:29recruitment which she's got going on. Did have hey, Avery Hodge, the
- 5:32second baseman she played second base in the series. Uh, this kind of
- 5:36the smaller girl. Played really well, had a couple of blunders on defense.
- 5:40But she's transferring. Yeah, back to Texas. I think she's from
- 5:46Texas and Quincy le Leo le Leo. I think li Lo didn't have a
- 5:54whole lot of playing time youngster. And then there was another one that I
- 5:58didn't know. So there's five spots openurrently right now for portal people. I
- 6:03think it was we have five or six of the number of the top ranked
- 6:08softball recruits coming in. I think it was five out of ten or six
- 6:12out of eleven. It was something to that nature that are coming in as
- 6:17far as the recruiting class, So they'll be incoming soon. So you know,
- 6:23it's obviously going to be it's going to be a I'm not I hate
- 6:28to call it rebuilding because they've got so much talent, the youth talent they
- 6:30got, especially in the hitting side, but they're gonna have to get some
- 6:33pitching. Obviously May's gone and then Maxwell the stud obviously he's gone, so
- 6:41she's going to have to come in and get to Yeah, that was the
- 6:46other one. S J. Garon transfer didn't pitch much red shirted in two
- 6:53thousand and twenty three. So their story on softball and Baby Goods. Rumor
- 7:00had it that Gayski turned down talking to Auburn. I don't know if he
- 7:05ever made it or if that was just a rumor, but there was talk
- 7:09that he was going to go h discuss that job opening with him. So
- 7:14all right, we're gonna talk about now. Congratulations to the Unklahoma Suoner women
- 7:19for you know what they have done, especially in this day and age with
- 7:24the transfer portal and making a four peat of it. I think the winning
- 7:28well, I don't know what's on the winning streak more impressive or you're talking
- 7:32about four in a row or the winning streak. I think the winning I
- 7:35think the winning streak is. And the only reason I say that was in
- 7:38the same last two seasons. It was the seventies. It was in the
- 7:43seventies. So I mean that's impressive. When softball you see so many close
- 7:46scores, I mean that I think that's more impressive because that runs. That's
- 7:51not just one season. I mean you're running across multiple seasons for that.
- 7:59So our third guest tonight in the Portals, this big ass fly to join
- 8:03us and little there's a little friends. So we'll be battling him tonight,
- 8:09like like well battle memory on baseball. Let's talk about college base Oh my
- 8:15brain, Big twelve and a bad showing. Oh oh, you didn't make
- 8:20it out of their regional to Texas. They didn't make it out of theirs.
- 8:24No, no, no, no, no, out of their region
- 8:28they were they were in with A and m uh. The SEC looked to
- 8:31be dominating. And then I haven't seen today's game. Yesterday's is what it
- 8:37was. So so what's what's impressive to me? As you look at this,
- 8:41West Virginia had the better showing out of any Big twelve baseball team.
- 8:46West it looks like, didn't they win a game in Kansas State? They
- 8:50got they got shut out? Two games? Yeah yeah, yeah, I
- 8:58can't state that didn't Westige any of least get won or they got close.
- 9:01They had one that I think they might have won. I know, the
- 9:05top team Tennessee they lost a massive game to Evansville. I don't know.
- 9:09Was it the pitching? Uh, it was just it was a high scoring
- 9:13game. Yeah yeah, I know Evansville took took the second game, wasn't
- 9:18it Kansas State lost both games seven four and four. West Virginia and West
- 9:24Virginia is West Virginia that I didn't see them, see, I didn't see
- 9:31them in there. They made it in I know they lost. North Carolina
- 9:35are right there eight six too, I mean the closer games. But so
- 9:41Big John's completely out of any contention for you know, the interesting things.
- 9:46So you got the the strongest, you know, and it's set. You
- 9:50got SEC and a C C. That's it out of all eight teams first
- 9:54that time to ever happen. So Oregon got knocked out. So Friday the
- 9:56fourteenth is when they're going to start this Friday, that Floyd. But the
- 10:00Florida Clemson game was great, the one last night. Yeah, I watched
- 10:05the Kentucky Oregon State game last night. I was watching that was actually a
- 10:09pretty good game too. Hockey football all right, So Florida opens up.
- 10:13I was watching football. Sorry, Florida State opens up on this Friday with
- 10:16Tennessee. What a hell of a matchup in game one. Uh, and
- 10:20then North Carolina and Virginia. And then you've got bracket too. You've got
- 10:24Kentucky versus Georgia n C State. Shawn you got an update on that game
- 10:28right now? Is that game? Yeah? Well it was, it was
- 10:31on It should be over now, so Sean's gonna get an update on that
- 10:35game. Kentucky's gonna play the winner in Georgia n C State and oh no,
- 10:41it's it's tonight. I'm sorry it was at six that what was going
- 10:43on? Yeah, it is. It is the deep and then deeper all
- 10:50right. Currently top of the eighth, n C State leads six to four,
- 10:58eight to four over Georgia to Georgia and reed. Georgia is the home
- 11:01team, so they will have two more tries at batting h to take over
- 11:07the lead. Okay, so the winner of this game looks like n C
- 11:09State, but you never can tell the baseball. They'll played Kentucky. Surprise,
- 11:13first first time in Kentucky and the last I'm sorry, the last SEC
- 11:18team to never make Omaha was Kentucky and then yes, so it's first time
- 11:22they've ever made it. Grainy interesting. Congratulations to them. And then obviously
- 11:28Florida, who was one of the last teams in whoever one bitched about them
- 11:31getting in beat Oklahoma State kicked them out. They were twenty four. We're
- 11:35going back to the we're going back to the old miss. Remember people bitched
- 11:39about getting Florida has it and Florida has advanced. Uh. For Florida will
- 11:46play generally the number one ranked team between them. Oh, who else has
- 11:54been? Tennis? Carolina Tennessee and Georgia. I forgot who the Florida State
- 12:03Their number in A and M was the other one. Anyway, that's who
- 12:07Florida is gonna play. So they'll play them Saturday at six and Kentucky and
- 12:13the Georgia NC State game gets the afternoon game. So all right, Omaha,
- 12:16there you go. Looks like the when it gets down to it,
- 12:20the dates the finals best two out of three. That Game one will start
- 12:26Saturday, the twenty second, So you're gonna get your final two in a
- 12:31week and a day to start. So when you start next Friday, it'll
- 12:35be a weekend of day and you'll you'll have the start of I'm confused,
- 12:39So in a weekend the day we'll know who's well, you're actually gonna know
- 12:41before that because they're actually gonna play game one in a weekend a day.
- 12:45So it's just gonna take well, it was I read that bye. I
- 12:48was thinking different. So I wished I wouldn't I knew all of our one
- 12:54viewers. I wouldn't have known when that was my god and saying week in
- 13:00a day, week and a day, we're gonna start. How about that?
- 13:03I just can't wait till the end of this when you go on your
- 13:07diet tribe. So, uh yeah, SEC again toughest baseball and uh in
- 13:15the nation. Yeah, it will really depend on oh you Texas is moving
- 13:18over there and uh yeah, we might have some struggles with that for SEC
- 13:26teams right now. And h three acc so NC State will make it an
- 13:35even split three and three, so we could be looking at five and five
- 13:39and three if Georgia makes the country. Yes, yes, like we said,
- 13:45it's uh, it's eight four, top of the eighth. Uh,
- 13:48I'm gonna go back to today. Why are they playing this game so late?
- 13:54I don't know why they had to do this one? You know,
- 13:56I know, actually I noticed it when they started with they were well,
- 14:00actually it was a game three. This is game three. Yeah, that's
- 14:03why did nobody else go to game three? No? No, nobody did.
- 14:09Oh no Tennessee did Tennessee had started the Tennessee started today or they did
- 14:13the Okay, yeah, that's why. So all right, that means yeah,
- 14:16that was the only other one, which is is very rare too.
- 14:20And both games were blowouts between the both in C State won the first game
- 14:24eighteen to one and Georgia turned around one eleven to two. And now we're
- 14:28playing a four run lead they got it looks like they got two in the
- 14:33eight. Ho many do we have? Just going to theay, We're going
- 14:37to the bottom of the eighth right now? Oh okay, so just starting
- 14:39all right, So Georgia, the Bulldogs are going to be up. That
- 14:41looks like they got middle of the order, well actually bottom of the order,
- 14:46six, seven, eight batters coming up, so they should be able
- 14:48to round out. If they don't get any production here, they'll be able
- 14:52to round out and they'll have the the top of the order coming back.
- 14:54And you definitely want to get that nine man out. What what do they
- 14:58need? What is Georgia needed to come back in this game? God,
- 15:05I didn't need to say it, at least once. You never said it
- 15:07during the OU Congratulations. I just talked about how great they kicked ass.
- 15:11I mean as far as hitting it, it wasn't time Land and that's what
- 15:16you saw, and that's what you saw with Ole Miss two years ago in
- 15:20the baseball world. Is they just ran through it and it was just one
- 15:22of those things. I mean it was nuts, but big shout out to
- 15:26Kentucky first timers always like to see that. And they've got a good team.
- 15:30I mean they actually could make a run. Uh look for Tennessee or
- 15:35a n M to win it all. In my opinion, who became their
- 15:37coach? Who's Kentucky's head coach? Meoni Gino. That's what it looks like,
- 15:46Benjon men Gina. I know it's God, I shouldn't. It's like
- 15:50am I in g O n E or g I O n E g I
- 15:52O n e g n g O. It's either MINIONI or minjeon nick NJ.
- 16:00Yeah, there we go. And he's been there a while actually,
- 16:03I think, look, hell, he's from Terrytown. We all know who
- 16:08Terrytown. Now. There wasn't rumor I saw on Twitter and I don't know
- 16:12if it's true or not, but oh, he's been there since twenty seventeen.
- 16:19Yes, so it's been so they made Super Regional last season. Yes,
- 16:23they've been a they've been a good. They've been a good team.
- 16:27Okay, so they made it in his first season, they made it to
- 16:30super regional. Didn't make it any other time. Twenty twenty COVID season,
- 16:36Yeah, twenty three, they made it to the super regional. Another in
- 16:38the World Series. Very nice, and they really haven't. I mean they
- 16:45just been kind of mediocre except the last two years and that first one he
- 16:48was there. Obviously it looks like he went to school at Embry Riddle and
- 16:56you guess where that is. How about Ontana Cincinnati? O. I have
- 17:03no idea. Cool, that's a fun little uh. I don't know no
- 17:08what it cares? All right, what are we at? I was looking
- 17:15at a rumor about Texas making a change at their baseball coach. So but
- 17:21they did fun, I don't. Oh, you know, Texas, who
- 17:23are they gonna hire? They got bags of money and they think they're gonna
- 17:26I mean, essentially Texas should I mean, there's they're just gonna keep good.
- 17:30There's no coincidence that Texas sports have gotten better since paying players has become
- 17:34So we're just going to She's spent on me, So we're just gonna start
- 17:38going through coaches until you find when you like basketball team. You know,
- 17:44of course he did. He did a violence allegedly. Uh, you know,
- 17:49I guess they're they're happy with Sarkisi and until he fails when he goes
- 17:53to the sec. Well, David, David Johnson is the baseball coach,
- 18:00River has it that And no, Skip's not coming back to Texas. He's
- 18:07gonna stay there. You. Tony Vtello, the Tennessee coach, has been
- 18:11the rumored name. They're gonna pay him a ship ton of money and promise
- 18:12them all kinds of neil money to play with. And that's uh, and
- 18:18that's the rumor. So we shall see. All right, Well, that
- 18:23was our baseball update for n C double A. Remember a weekend, a
- 18:30day everybody still the beginning. It was gonna happen in a week and to
- 18:34day, but in a week and to day week today, all right,
- 18:38let's get an update on the hockey. Currently really interesting game two Uh scored
- 18:48so uh it was one nothing first intermission. We've got about a little less
- 18:55than six minutes left in the game. I've got some six minutes in the
- 19:02second period, six minutes a second. He can't he doesn't understand a hockey.
- 19:07I understand it. I read it wrong. I was looking for scoring.
- 19:11God, stupid net. What'd you find? Which? Fine? What's
- 19:18fine? I haven't found any I found a gnat in my mouth. Oh
- 19:22here it is, uh Mikola. He got assists from Lundell and Tersenka got
- 19:30in the at the nine to thirty four minute. Not too shabby. Well,
- 19:36makes the game second, makes the game interesting. Sure, but what
- 19:38you saw, We're just gonna go to the hockey now. Yeah, well
- 19:41you saw that Bobrowski in that first game, thirty two shots faced thirty two
- 19:47saves at one thousand percent. I mean he pitched a shot out. They
- 19:51could not get the puck around him. No, I mean at thirty two
- 19:53shots. It was nuts. No, it was impressive. And I think,
- 19:56though, and I think you know, I told you I thought Panthers
- 20:00would maybe go five games, they'd win it in five. And Edmonton is
- 20:07not necessarily surprised that they're there because they have the talent. It's just Florida
- 20:14has kind of been building for this. Florida has been building this the last
- 20:17week. We saw it last year, saw it last year, and what
- 20:18they rant made the run and just got their ass kicked in the championship by
- 20:22a much better team obviously, and then that team, but the Vegas Knights.
- 20:27That's good experience, yeah, exactly, but it's good experience. Yeah,
- 20:33it was a very good experience. Like I said, they have their
- 20:34own they have their own like separate goalie training. Believe your White Sox have
- 20:40a man on first, I'm sure they'll leave him stranded. Oh man,
- 20:42we're not even talking about I was looking at the score last night and I
- 20:45forgot who we were playing. It was six four or six five in the
- 20:51in the eighth, and I was like, we'll blow sure enough later we
- 20:57put anything else on hockey, that's kind have been the big news. I
- 21:02would just uh, I know that Edmonton's trying to solve that that Bob Brovsky
- 21:08problem, you know, just going a goal McDavid and dry Sidle, you
- 21:14know, but they have taken they found out they took McDavid and dry Sidle
- 21:18off of the penalty kill. They have got thirty two, thirty three straight
- 21:22penalty kills. Now Edmonton does already. Yeah, I know they came in
- 21:27before we left, before they went into the second, they had thirty two
- 21:33straight penalty kills. And I think the record's thirty four, and that might
- 21:37be Montreal. I haven't just a little bit of news for hockey. Ok
- 21:45As, we're gonna get some Kenny news. So Toronto fired their coach,
- 21:51Yes, Keith, he's automatically picked up by the Devils. They fired Lindy
- 21:59rough Yes, he's going back to Buffalo, which I love. Now.
- 22:06Lindy Ruffle bore you to tears with his offense. I mean, but his
- 22:11defense, his defense. I mean, if you like defense, it's obviously
- 22:17Lindy Ruffle just wear you down. No pass it, pass it, pass
- 22:22it, pass it, pass it, take the fifth shot. I thought
- 22:26that. I thought the Kraken pulled the plug a little bit early on David
- 22:30High School. Todd McClellan. He got fired. Well, so they okay,
- 22:33so they got rid of him. It was a slow decline, was
- 22:41the reason why they got rid of it. Because they started. They had
- 22:44like the same start as the Golden Knights. Really good. You go to
- 22:48the playoffs. I think they made the playoffs the second year, and then
- 22:52they missed the playoffs like the last two seasons, and and they finished third
- 23:00to last or something like that this year, fourth to last. I forget
- 23:03what it was so, but that's that's where they Craig Craig Breu got fired
- 23:11from the Blues, which I thought was a horrible I mean, obviously he
- 23:12was the coach that came in changed that team and won the nineteen championship.
- 23:18Yeah, don't he gets picked up immediately. He's the new coach of the
- 23:21Maple Leafs. So you're gonna see some grit. They're just a bunch of
- 23:23changes, like, yeah, just a couple of that that had went out.
- 23:27Nobody's like even been out of a job for yeah, for long.
- 23:33So, like I said, the former former Leafs went to the Devils,
- 23:37Brube went to the Leafs. And then obviously if you have Lindy Ruff going
- 23:41back to Buffalo, and then you've you've had assistance takeover. So Banister signed
- 23:48with the Saint Louis and you had who was the other one. I think
- 23:52it was the Chicago's and the Kings. I think the Kings was the hired
- 24:00that so, but anyway, and then you know, you see the headline
- 24:03right there, Stanley rating is atross North odd And you know one of the
- 24:07reasons probably some of the bigger named teams are in there, probably New York
- 24:11making a run probably helped all the Rangers fans finally had a reason to watch
- 24:18again. And then you've got people in Florida that don't really watch hockey until
- 24:22their sports are kind of no, no, you think about it. There's
- 24:26nothing going on in basketball though, but it doesn't matter. You got to
- 24:29think about how many Snowbirds either move to that's true, hockey fans beginning from
- 24:37from the east and from the northeast, that that move all the way down
- 24:41to Florida. Good point. I mean, we saw that mafia guy when
- 24:45we were on vacation from Chicago. No, no, no, no,
- 24:48that was the that was the pedo. We're talking about. The old guy
- 24:52across the way. I had the two guys that always stood behind him talk
- 24:56in his ear. You were scared. You weren't scared of that guy.
- 25:00You were scared of that. You were scared of the Columbiano and Kenny from
- 25:03Chicago. All right, well there's your hockey news, Sean. We still
- 25:08want nothing. Yep, looks like got to be about I'm sorry, won
- 25:11one three minutes left in the second. I don't understand how your brain sure
- 25:17I was reading something else. I don't know what I saw that half the
- 25:22time. One nothing, I'll get those scores right tonight. Alright, I'm
- 25:26hoping it goes seven games. I would love to see a seven game series.
- 25:29I don't think it's like I said, I love both of these teams.
- 25:32I enjoy watching them. I think that's another reason Edmonton's in Edmonton has
- 25:37a huge fan base, so you know, Canadians. Canadians are finally there's
- 25:42a Canadian team in the Stanley Cup for the first time since. Yeah,
- 25:45and that helps. But that said North Americans, I guess, I mean
- 25:48they're kind of candidates. I did say North America and not the United States?
- 25:52Did it? I think it was so it was counting all of that.
- 25:56So that's obviously going to help the ratings. M When you have a
- 25:59hockey team, so does the other hockey Probably the teams root for them or
- 26:03they hate them. Would that be like Texas. I'm playing Toronto and I
- 26:10think right now it's just they're happy there's a Canadian team that can bring the
- 26:14Stanley Cup home for the first time in what eight years or something? Okay,
- 26:18I forgot I forgot when the last time and who it was at won
- 26:22or played. I know Vancouver has had a few times. I remember Vancouver
- 26:26burned whenever they lost. So all right, just ended on a all right,
- 26:37we'll talk a little. Let's talk a little. The UFL move into
- 26:40whoa you you don't want a NBA. No, we can do that after.
- 26:44You know, I'm confused, well because I want to go n B
- 26:47A into my w n B A. Well when do I get to do
- 26:52my elf? News? You can do that right after this? All right?
- 26:57Obviously, the UFL come down to their championship. Stallions beat the Panthers
- 27:04and eighteen in Birmingham and that was that was That was a real okay.
- 27:10So the first two quarters of that game really good, really fun. It
- 27:12was very close. I think it was twelve to nine in that do we
- 27:19have do they have the breakdown? O? Their cool website takes forever to
- 27:22lot. I know, I know, you know what I need my stats,
- 27:26I need them now there we go. But the third quarter, I
- 27:30believe there were eighteen to twelve at half, okay, eighteen to twelve and
- 27:33a half and in Michigan was up. And I believe in that third quarter
- 27:38there were three or four interceptions. Matt Matt Coral ended up coming in what
- 27:48it looks like twenty touchdowns. So Skip was skip, Skip was looking at
- 27:52Adrian and then Adrian took three sacks, four sacks, and Skip was like,
- 28:00all right, Matt, you're going in. And I had Matt's second
- 28:03or third passing through an interception. Yeah, he did two touchdowns one pick.
- 28:07But yeah, I do you remind Dannyetling was was starting for Michigan.
- 28:11I had to remind you who Danny Yetling was. You had totally forgotten.
- 28:15I have god. Look at the penalties for Birmingham though. Geez. Even
- 28:18sloppy game, Yeah, and still come out in one obviously scored nineteen the
- 28:25fourth quarter. They opened it up the end of the third beginning seen and
- 28:29answered in the second half to beat them thirty one eighteen. So all right,
- 28:33there's your XFL side. No, that's the USFL side. Now.
- 28:41The XFL side was a very, very horrible game for Saint Louis. They
- 28:49couldn't get anything going right. They the offense was stagnated by Wade Phillips's defense.
- 28:56I don't know how to explain it. It was just bad. Well,
- 29:00let's explain it. Twenty five fifteen was the final on that game.
- 29:07That's the XFL. AJ mccerron couldn't get anything going. And Keem Butler,
- 29:11who's probably going to go back to the NFL, looks like there's a lot
- 29:14of talk. Yes, yes, looks like he's six with six and I
- 29:18know you liked him. There you go, We know you like them.
- 29:22Thirteen to three and a half. And they did get twelve. You know,
- 29:26Saint Louis did get twelve points in the second. But yeah, two
- 29:30hundred and thirty nine total yards. It was not the same BattleHawks team that
- 29:33you saw it throughout the season. Can you say that that Wade Phillips is
- 29:40one of the more underappreciated defensive minds of all time? Everywhere he goes,
- 29:45that guy wins. He wasn't a great head coach at the Cowboys, simply
- 29:49they gave him simply because well it's the Cowboy. Well I would have looked
- 29:52at it. He'd been interim coach at Houston. He was interim coach for
- 30:00not the Browns, maybe it was the Jets. He had he had interim
- 30:06coached at a couple other places. Might actually look looking. Actually the Bills
- 30:11coach he was, He was the Bills coach. He got two years there
- 30:19interim with the Falcons. That's what the Dallas was seventy four years there in
- 30:26Texas. Yeah, he should have stayed. He should have just stayed defensive
- 30:30coordinator. I think he's he's really he's doing really well in this. I
- 30:36mean, he's got Chase Gabors looking good. Their garbs. A J.
- 30:41Mccareron looked like hell, but a J. Mccarreon was playing with a you
- 30:45know, a taped up ankle. Playoff records zero and four for Wade though,
- 30:49that's well, hey, you know what playoff record now is one and
- 30:57two, one and three. If you go back to the XFL season,
- 31:00they did win in his and yeah, on the twenty ten, signed a
- 31:03contract season through twenty eleven and was fired ten I don't know first eight games,
- 31:11my word twenty what I mean. Garrett was then the head coach then,
- 31:17and that's who took over for way too long. So imagine all the
- 31:19wasted years the Cowboys had with Jason Garrett as the head coach. I don't
- 31:23have to imagine. I watched it. Then we're gonna imagine it. But
- 31:26then we're gonna imagine how many ways wasted NBC nights We've got with him and
- 31:30Chrissy Simms. It just, oh my god, are they the night guys?
- 31:33I don't know. I've seen him enough on there, so they're back
- 31:36and forth, so they're not like the they're like this. I think the
- 31:40last I seen them, they were in studio. They weren't calling games.
- 31:42They were like in the halftime setting. Now I think it was Dongeee still
- 31:48wasn't it. So I think he's still on NBC. Who's Who's awesome?
- 31:52So poor Dongee. He just needs to just chill him home. He looks
- 31:59like he's just struggling to be in public every time he's on TV. Looks
- 32:02like the Saint Louis linebacker obviously Sean if you go down to defense, that's
- 32:07right. Oh no, that Jake Sutherland had a good game. Is his
- 32:12name Willie Harvey Haney, Willie Haney Seviet tackles ten, ten and ten games.
- 32:19Looks like he's going to be Willie Harvey. Sorry, Willy Harvey.
- 32:23He's also a potential NFL guys what I've heard obviously the kicker did yeah,
- 32:30did he make is he trying out? Did he get invited or something to
- 32:35one of the I would hope so I would hope les look because he never
- 32:43got a chance in the NFL, then get a chance in the college either.
- 32:50Uh oh, oh he got hurt. Oh boy, what did he
- 32:54stub a toe? Let's see what he got? Jake Bates helped the pants
- 33:00that jump out to twelve and oh, mister parrotfield goals. It's just something's
- 33:08was this a freeze? And jaj come up with an injury? Missus came
- 33:15on a block kick where Bates slipped and appeared to suffer a foot injury.
- 33:20Gotch And that was in Birmingham. It's sunny, so I don't know what.
- 33:24Maybe you had the wrong cleats on. It could be weather related to
- 33:30it was sonny, it was it was clear, maybe a hot Maybe moist
- 33:36moist fields. Our next T shirt sports allegedly moist field. All right,
- 33:45got a little baseball chat chatter. What's going on in baseball that nobody cares
- 33:52about. Well, we're just gonna give a few quick standing talk. You're
- 33:57just gonna talk about the stupid Guardians. Don't be jelly not white. Sox
- 34:02are going for the worst team in the league. We're going we're going over
- 34:06the record. Well, you guys had a trade to you traded one of
- 34:08your all stars, Louis what's his name for? What? What did we
- 34:15trade for? Trash? Like of trash that we just trade. I'll let
- 34:21you look this trade for a look up the you can't well you can look,
- 34:23yeah, look up the White Sox trade Luis Rivera. Is that his
- 34:30name got traded? I thought I had that on my notes. I find
- 34:37it. Anyway, we'll talk a little standings. Yankees two games up on
- 34:43the roles in the AL East, AL Central. The Guardians have a league.
- 34:47Uh, yeah, that's it Luis Roberto. Yes, I thought it
- 34:52was done one day ago. Well, maybe we haven't traded. Maybe I
- 35:01just saw that that Well that was wrong. Good, they haven't traded him.
- 35:06That's the rumor that he's going to be traded. Why, like I
- 35:09said, are we going to get a bag of trash for it? Guardians?
- 35:14For the old pitchers on the Royals American League? White Sox down just
- 35:17twenty six games. Hey, what's the differential? Like one hundred and seventy
- 35:22eight and Mariners lead the Rangers? God Mariners only one in that division between
- 35:29Rangers, Astros, Athletics and Angels. And Athletics actually are have a lead
- 35:32over the Angels at this moment right now, which is nuts. What yeah,
- 35:37the Angels, what are you talking about? Athletics. Athletics have a
- 35:42lead over the Angels right now, they're ahead of them. Oh, I
- 35:45thought you were talking about number one. It was and NL. You got
- 35:49Phillies with a nine game lead, Braves. Phillies are just kicking ass this
- 35:52year, off to one of their best starts, if not the best start
- 35:55in league history. Birds surprisingly up read Cubs, Cardinals, Pirates all below
- 36:01five hundred and then of course you got the Dodgers also the only team in
- 36:06the National League West that have that has a winning fielder. So one interesting
- 36:15stat I wanted to bring up about because I'm obviously Cleveland fan is one of
- 36:21our players. Daniel Schneeman. He came his first six games. He's the
- 36:24first Sivable player since nineteen oh six to appear in his first six games.
- 36:30Listen, he played six different positions, six different positions in in his first
- 36:36six games. So that's oppressed the second base, shortstop, third base,
- 36:38left field, center field, right field. What it takes to get Robert
- 36:43in l A. That's that's so seven bags of trash? Well, what
- 36:47what is the Dodgers got to give up and what have they got? Yeah,
- 36:52there's fifteen dollars. We've got otani on On deferred for the next ten
- 37:00years or twenty years. So this is where they said, should they go
- 37:01all in for Luise Robert ROBERTA. I don't want to say Roberto Luis Robert
- 37:07Jr. What is the gain for the Dodgers or the Yankees? I can
- 37:12see because it's been a while, But what's the gain for the Dodgers to
- 37:15go in and win another? Are the event? Are the event making that
- 37:17much money in their playoff runs? That because they spend so much. Everybody
- 37:22in La loves the Dodgers and loves the Lakers. But is that just when
- 37:28they're winning. Oh no, they still love them whenever they're they're losing.
- 37:31Now the Kings are up and down. They do the Kings they like whenever
- 37:35they're winning. The Kings they don't really care about whenever they're losing. Gotcha,
- 37:38gotcha. But the Dodgers are seasonal, Like everybody loves going to Dodger
- 37:43Stadium. They can't wait for the summer to come around. They get their
- 37:45Dodger dogs. You can buy Dodger dogs in the grocery store. You can
- 37:50barzils, still them. Here's the Dodger dog. All it is is a
- 37:52hot dog. It's a longer hot dog. That's it. Well, we're
- 37:58about it's not made. Not a real Dodger. Still over a month.
- 38:00I thought it was real Dodgers. Still over a month. So the All
- 38:04Star Game that's July sixteenth, so essentially that'll be over halfway, should be
- 38:09a little bit over. So baseball is chugging along. Now will be the
- 38:15time in the next couple of weeks when baseball and I'm sorry, when basketball
- 38:22and hockey wrap up, its kind of the excuse me become the star.
- 38:24All right, get onto your Eastern Europe conferences. It's not Eastern Europe European
- 38:30League, which is pretty much based in Germany. Okay, so the Vienna
- 38:35Vikings are three and oh nice, and we're gonna get your son a Vienna
- 38:38Vikings short because they're purple. I kind of like that logo though. That's
- 38:42kind of cool. The Berlin Thunder one of the og Yeah, did you
- 38:47really have to do that? Panthers used. Panthers used Carolina's logo ish the
- 38:54Warclaw Panthers and they're one and two. The progue Lions are owing three the
- 39:04Yeah. Then we get to the Central Conference, start serge or two and
- 39:08oh, the Raiders a trill Or two and one, Munich Ravens or two
- 39:14and one, Milano Seaman one and two, Barcelona Dragons one and two.
- 39:17In the Helvetic mercenarieszing too don't have They are not having a good season.
- 39:23So this Paris muketeers must get some mucketeers. Do you know who plays on
- 39:30that team? I have no idea. The Chandler Jones. Chandler Chandler Jones
- 39:35played for the Patriots, cornerback, gotten to gotten gotten to uh uh,
- 39:44trouble with the law in l A a defensive guy. Yeah, his cornerback.
- 39:52He's playing on that team, really, the Raiders, That's what I'm
- 39:55saying. When he was on the Raiders, he got in trouble with the
- 39:58law. Oh. I see play in Syracuse, so you go down,
- 40:01you'll see that it talks about his legal dribble there. He signed a three
- 40:07or fifty one year he was the one, he was the one that they
- 40:12called the oh that he got locked out. Yeah that's right, Yeah,
- 40:17that's right. So he's playing with the Paris Musketeers. Now he had two
- 40:22interceptions. And I'm going to tell you when you watched those videos, there's
- 40:25one commentator. One was an American who was sounded like you was boring as
- 40:30hellas wanted to just read stats, no idea, no idea, who was
- 40:36on the damn team. The other was a German that every time they kicked
- 40:38the football and went through the uprights, he goes and it's through the pylons.
- 40:43I was like, it's like, no, Bubba, no, I
- 40:45get that somebody has taught you how to how to but he was he was
- 40:50more entertaining. But I get that. You the pylons are here, Bubba,
- 40:54They're not the uprights. But yeah, they had a lot of they
- 40:59had They had a lot of fun. I was watching. It was it's
- 41:02regular football, but they do the kickoff. They do the modified kickoff that
- 41:07I believe the NFL is going to go through this year. But I've heard
- 41:09that they've they've got some changes and I haven't really looked at that. But
- 41:12you know, this guy had a good early record. I'm saying that you
- 41:15don't Chandler John. He played for the Cardinals in five years eighty two million
- 41:20was that contract, then turns around signed another contract, Like I just told
- 41:25you, three year, fifty one million at the end of his year.
- 41:29I mean, that's not Chuck change, dude. They were playing My god,
- 41:32I can't remember they were playing. It was Got Hurt twenty It was
- 41:37either Paris versus the Ryan Fire, or it was a pro bowler in twenty
- 41:42one with the Titans. Okay, so that makes sense, or the the
- 41:46Berlin Thunder. But he jumped the route. He just he jumped the route
- 41:52and he was two steps ahead of the wide receiver when the quarterback threw it
- 41:54to him. Good. So yeah, there's and there's there's other Americans gotta
- 42:00be up there. I went back. I should have looked at his age.
- 42:04Oh yeah, he's old. Chandler Jones is thirty five, maybe thirty
- 42:09four from Jones age thirty four. Yeah, he had that trouble with that,
- 42:22I thought, though, he's he had that trouble with Las Vegas.
- 42:27Yes, and they called the competency. You had him put away and in
- 42:30an institution for a couple of days. And I don't know how that lawsuit
- 42:36ever came out. And there's another lawsuit. Yeah, he's over there.
- 42:38Playing. There's other Americans over there playing. Uh there was a kicker that
- 42:45didn't really get to go anywhere and never got to kick during the season.
- 42:50All right, anything else on that, Uh no, but it is It
- 42:55is fun to watch. But it's like watching American ball with soccer fans because
- 43:04they will be blowing their horns and they will be hucks. Yeah. Yeah,
- 43:10nobody's killing the raft. But yeah, it is entertaining, all right,
- 43:16and it's more football through the seasons. Well, let's segue right there,
- 43:20let's segue. We'll talk a little bit about college football. The college
- 43:24football Playoff was announced. That was at that date one to one on the
- 43:29hockey game. It's in second intermission. Oh did you say that? I
- 43:32thought there was like three minutes left our last up date. Okay, all
- 43:37right, college football playoff first year, the twelve. You're gonna start Friday
- 43:43February or sorry, fat, let me spit that out. Friday, December
- 43:46twentieth will be the first game. It'll be seven o'clock ABC, it'll be
- 43:52ABC ESPN on that one Saturday. You're gonna have a noon, so home,
- 43:59that's gonna be home. Now, remember the first four have a bye.
- 44:02So this is gonna be five, six, seven eights home which I
- 44:06haven't figured out how they're gonna deal with that money revenue sharing there, because
- 44:09one, two, three, four is missing out on something. You know
- 44:12what if they not use ball games for that, Well they have right here,
- 44:15no, no, no, in the in the quarter yeah, I
- 44:19think they're winning the home field advantage. So you've got those four games right
- 44:24there, that's eight teams. That drops you down to four. Then you've
- 44:28got the four subs or the four buys, and then you go down to
- 44:30two and one. So Friday and then Saturday, there's three games Saturday noon,
- 44:36four pm, and eight pm. Eat this all Eastern times. On
- 44:38the twenty first, that'll be the Saturday before Christmas. Then you get ten
- 44:44days unless you played on the twentieth. Let's say you get a week in
- 44:49a day, not a week in a day, just ten. You get
- 44:51ten days the next one. Look at this, the quarterfinal is going to
- 44:54be on a Now, obviously it's on a Tuesday night because of the scheduling
- 44:58of it's New Year's so you got New Year's Eve night. You're gonna have
- 45:01a six thirty game. That's gonna be the Fiesta Bowl uh. And then
- 45:06Wednesday on January one, you gotta get your butt up early and watch the
- 45:08Peach Bowl that's gonna be at noon, and then the Rose Bowl obviously that's
- 45:13gonna be that afternoon game at four, which is perfect for that game.
- 45:16No, I said, no, I'm just saying it's an early game for
- 45:19Summit, you know, because that's gonna be a uh festival, that's right.
- 45:24And then and then you you've got to maintain and then you're gonna have
- 45:28the Sugar Bowl that night on the first first. So now you're gonna have
- 45:32there. You go, there's your final final four it you get an eight
- 45:37day gap between there and so that now this is the odd one. You
- 45:40get an eight day gap. And then you go into Thursday, January ninth,
- 45:46which I guarantee you, unless I'm missing something, won't there be Is
- 45:52this gonna be an NFL? NFL won't be playing because I bet it'll be
- 45:57playoffs in morning. Okay, so we kicked that out. But still a
- 46:00Thursday night on ESPN at six thirty, and then a Friday on the tenth
- 46:07will be the Cotton Bowl. So you've got the Orange Bowl at night game
- 46:10in the Cotton Bowl, which obviously they get. That'll be at Jerry's World,
- 46:14so they could put the roof down or in if they are up across
- 46:17whatever. Oh okay, so they'll start that week Friday, Yes, that
- 46:23weekend, right, yeah, tentative, yes, okay, yeah, so
- 46:28that's why they're playing on Thursday Friday. Generally, I bet they won't start.
- 46:31I bet it's going to be Saturday playoffs. And then so it's Thursday
- 46:35Friday. That's why those games are there, not to compete with NFL.
- 46:37That's why it's an odd time. And then you go January twentieth, ten
- 46:40days another break. January twentieth will be your twenty twenty five championship in Atlanta.
- 46:49Do you think, though, do you think the credits should be given
- 46:51to these teams now that win these playoffs a little more? You know,
- 46:55you think about back in the day, you only had to win one game
- 46:59you had to get there, but you only had to win one to be
- 47:00the chant. Now you've got to win at the minimum three to be the
- 47:07chant. No longer two. It's gonna be three, sometimes four. Interesting
- 47:12stats gonna be is when is the first group of these win it all with
- 47:16that extra game? It depends on who gets stuck in there and who's who's
- 47:22a really good team that just hasn't shown out yet. I mean, a
- 47:27week off less games huge could be the first thing going to be this year.
- 47:32We could see you've got the one seeds. You can still see it
- 47:36this year. It's possible. I mean, I just I think it's going
- 47:38to be something that that's going to be interesting to see how long it's gonna
- 47:42be some something commentator says, Oh, this is going to be it's the
- 47:45first one to make it to the champion or even make it to the championship
- 47:49from from that section of that from the first round because of the amount of
- 47:52time you've got thirty days between first player game to the championship. If you're
- 48:00their first round, then you've also got think about the break. You've got
- 48:05another what twenty games if you're not the championship, which you probably will be
- 48:10here, well not necessarily, you might actually not even be in the championship
- 48:17because those championships teams are gonna be over here. I just look at the
- 48:21FCS. No, but I'm saying, you know what I'm saying, how
- 48:23they set it up. I mean, your champions your your conference champions are
- 48:27in this section, most of them, some of them will be over here
- 48:30for the lower lower conference. You know what I mean. In the playoff
- 48:35quarterfinal, I'm just taking about I'm just I was mainly just making a point
- 48:37of the time that's going to be a playoff first round. You're gonna be
- 48:40twenty, You're gonna be thirty, pointing it's something that nobody can see.
- 48:44No, I'm talking to you saying, my I got that is you're actually
- 48:49gonna have before the first playoff, you're gonna have like a bowl game another
- 48:52potentially thirty days. The other ball games even matter at this point, no
- 48:57more. No, I think they're just gonna feed them in but tween and
- 49:00they never really mattered in the last few years anyway, since everyone's been all
- 49:04things setting out and then dude and then so anyway, I wanted to bring
- 49:08that up because I thought the Thursday game was interesting in that I didn't realize
- 49:12it was good. There was going to be a Thursday obviously, becaud but
- 49:15obviously you see the Tuesday and Wednesday that makes sense for New Year's But all
- 49:22right, Oh, and then I had one other thing, probability you want
- 49:27to guess who the number one probability to make the playoff is, sorry to
- 49:32win the play Yeah, it was Georgia. That's hard, that's easy.
- 49:37They have the highest f P. Anyways, Ohio State should be number two.
- 49:40I think I've got Texas into three. I raced it accidentally. Texas
- 49:47wasn't that high before. This was odds for the for the twelve. To
- 49:54put Michigan back in there, you go, Texas was seven. You've got
- 50:00Oregon, l s U, Alabama, Ole, Miss Michigan, Florida State,
- 50:04Penn State, Notre Dame. They're not love. They're not love with
- 50:07us this year schedules to now, don't forget Texas or Michigan plays USC pretty
- 50:17early on? And who else did they they got? They got? They
- 50:22got the Alabama? Is it? Is it? Texas? Did they play
- 50:29Michigan too? Texas has a weird Do they have the return game with Michigan?
- 50:32Is what you're saying? Yeah? What is what is there played there?
- 50:37Two? It's Michigan September seventh. So Michigan opens with USC and then
- 50:45turns around and plays Texas right after that. So be it tell all sign
- 50:50about that Michigan USC game is now a conference game. That is correct,
- 50:55is it? Well? I wonder if they moved that, then you have
- 51:00to see that's now in conference. I'm pretty sure that is going to be
- 51:04that can't be ann it's conference I know, I know September twenty first.
- 51:09Sorry, so they did move it, moved it back, but I think
- 51:12that we're going to play them anyway. So you got Fresno texts. So,
- 51:15but they've got Texas at home in the Arkansas State and then they go
- 51:20USC. Washington's gonna be down Illinois, you never know. Oregon is going
- 51:25to be up obviously, but they're at home. Michigan set up for a
- 51:28pretty good schedule except Ohio State. Obviously, they've lost a crap ton of
- 51:31people and their coach. So I'm not saying they're going to repeat repeat,
- 51:36what what about it? Right there? You are you saying that's a I
- 51:40think we're going win oh Okay, But I said they had them at home,
- 51:44so it's a little bit of advantage there at least. So all right,
- 51:47anything else college football, I haven't just one tid NFL. I know
- 51:52that what Oklahoma State got a linebacker lineman and the commitment I know this week
- 52:01was was all the big all the schools, big parties. Yeah, in
- 52:07camps, i'd call him parties. No, no, I mean this is
- 52:09the recruiting parties. Yeah, yeah, I'm know. Camps. Well I
- 52:14think they did. It was where they go you had a camp this week?
- 52:16Well, it's where you know, like Colorado used to bring out the
- 52:19hookers and and all that to get guys to come to their school barbecue hookers.
- 52:23It's gonna be an interesting team or something. Yeah, we have an
- 52:30unproven quarterback this weekend. I'm sorry, this weekend is going to be the
- 52:35championship A big is that what they call don they call it championship? So
- 52:39according to seven two four seven Sports, twenty five classes been good no five
- 52:45stars over to five star offensive lineman Tay Haywood or Ty Haywood. Michael Fasusi
- 52:51will be in Norman Susi Man, I don't know if he's going to come,
- 52:53but it'd be a hell of a hit and we need him for sure.
- 52:57Oh yeah, because that's going to be our week point, I promise,
- 53:00shoot when it comes down to it. So that June fourteenth and fifteenth,
- 53:02we got a five star Heywood Fassus Cortel's Mills wide receiver, four star,
- 53:07and then we got three star DL linebacker Luke Mitz. He's an Alabama
- 53:15commit right now, Clemson commit. That's all they're bringing him in. It
- 53:17looks so they used to They wouldn't he wouldn't do that. But anyway,
- 53:22that that's going to be the visits for this fourteenth and fifteenth. That is
- 53:25not a very well twenty twenty five classes. We've already got a lot of
- 53:30players now and it's going to be one of our smallest classes we recruit.
- 53:32So they're not far off from being don't count the portal and everything, but
- 53:37they're not far off from it always being recruited, actually being done. No,
- 53:43I just I saw that. You know, everybody's doing their recruiting.
- 53:46Oh, yes, it is the parties. Like I said, O,
- 53:52Sue, I know they got it. I think he's a four star maybe
- 54:00offensive line, defensive line, something like that. Linebacker Gundy Gundy again and
- 54:07retention. Everybody applauded Gundy's retention for his team. Well, that's and yes,
- 54:13and that's that's hell. That's half the battle these days. I went
- 54:15and looked and I had the I had the big twelve, Big twelve transfer
- 54:20rankings. I'm so upset there was no Hou Texas because it was like it's
- 54:23kind of like where gos right, We're not here anymore. They're gonna move
- 54:28all right, Oh, here's Destiny fifteen fifteen recruits right now for the twenty
- 54:35twenty five class. And you know, and we're ranked. We're ranked high
- 54:37because of the amount of volume right now. You know, we're about a
- 54:43tenth eleventh right now. But you know we're gonna get nicked a little bit
- 54:46when they call these stars because we've taken some of these three star kids because
- 54:52they're local. We got the Shield Night kid who's really close actually used to
- 54:54be in Chelsea, used to live in Chelsea. And Marcus James, the
- 55:00linebacker from Carl Albert. And we took the Kamor and Moore from Lee Summit
- 55:05who's the defensive line he's really good. I think he's gonna be a star.
- 55:07And then took the old I'm sorry Holland Beck interior alignment from Melmisa,
- 55:14Texas, who's also a three star. So I think they're taking some of
- 55:19these guys on potential and not what money's gonna buy, you know what I
- 55:22mean. Bo Jackson's son joins the Buckeyes. Oh really he's going to that?
- 55:29Good God, man, just let your hair go gray? Sorry,
- 55:32picture of right? They I think this is a make or break year for
- 55:37him. He really needs to do something of the pressure is going to be
- 55:38on. But you know what they all fears when the pressure. If he
- 55:43does have a really good year, he's going to the NFL. So right,
- 55:49anything else on that now? Like I said, where's the more going
- 55:52from wide receiver? Who's decommits from l s U. L s U's the
- 55:57one team that I'd like to know what they're gonna do this year. I
- 56:00cannot figure them out. Well, obviously those are their quarterbacks? Going to
- 56:02be interesting? Always from Texas? Okay, Well, whoever pays it more,
- 56:14and then once he gets that money, he'll end up being able to
- 56:17move if he doesn't want to, portaling later if he wants to. I
- 56:22mean, that's what a lot of Texas A and M guys did. They
- 56:24they got paid and then they portaled out and Alabama did flip a dual threat
- 56:29quarterback Russell from SMU. Is that that's news? Well, not saying that
- 56:37you can't have a good player at s MU but I mean, I'm also
- 56:39looked at. I've also looked at. Uh. It says that Big twelve
- 56:46might be targeting some ACC teams. Well, I think they're trying to get
- 56:52ahead of it because they know Florida State Clemson's gone. As soon as they
- 56:54can get out of that. They're they're in the sec right, you know,
- 56:58and they're you know, they're gonna try to take as many as they
- 57:00can. What you know, what are we going to see the collapse much?
- 57:06Honest now, I don't think so, because I think they could.
- 57:07They still have a pretty good class that could stay together. What they'll do
- 57:10is they'll poach, you know, other go up north and try to poach
- 57:15some of those other schools, or turn around and get some of the Big
- 57:20twelve schools that are in that down on that side. I don't know,
- 57:24Central Florida might be one something like that. I don't know, or try
- 57:30to but I don't think what what what the PAC twelve's doing with the Mountain
- 57:35West. Yeah, yeah, something like that where there's only two teams right
- 57:37now, and they can do that for another cut. But like I've always
- 57:39told you about those mergers, it's each one of them's got a commissioner who
- 57:43quits, who gets assistant to commit. You know what I mean, There's
- 57:45there's money they they miss out on and they can't do it. That's what
- 57:47they're so afraid of, is that power and that control. When in the
- 57:52end, if the PAC twelve would have reacted rather than being I'm sorry,
- 57:55would have been proactive rather than reactive, they still would have been and not
- 58:00tried to be there. They were greedy top, they were greedy, they
- 58:04believe they were the top. They got to greedy. So I'm just gonna
- 58:08let you take over. Uh what do you got, I'm I'm NBA.
- 58:14You've got yes, Yes, let's talk a little bit about n B A.
- 58:17I will talking about Hurley right now. I think it's smart for him
- 58:21not to go. I think he's gonna. I think disagree with you.
- 58:24I just totally disagree. He's got a chance to be another coach. Case.
- 58:27Okay, what's what the Lakers job is trash? I'm not saying it's
- 58:30trash, and I'm not saying that at all, and I don't even think
- 58:34it's the Lakers, but I think what, Okay, you win two two
- 58:37consecutive championships at your school, do you think you're gonna win three? Winning
- 58:45two was impressive, Well, i'll leave back up. Winning one is impressive.
- 58:47Obviously, winning two super impressive. You only have one returning starter.
- 58:52You're not gonna win it again, promise you. Let's just mark it.
- 58:57Let's slap that label on it. You're not gonna win this year, and
- 59:00you could have made triple your money in the NBA for eight year contract.
- 59:08How does howl do is Hurley pull? Uh? What do you think?
- 59:12He's fifties? Lo fifties? Yeah, he's gonna be early fifties. So
- 59:16let's look at that. Well, I'm gonna look. He's got right now
- 59:22a six year, thirty two million dollar contract. At he's making a little
- 59:29more than I thought. Then I thought he was in the forest. So
- 59:30let's say he's at five. So it would not have been triple, it
- 59:34would have been double your money. Still less though than Monty Williams makes it
- 59:38Detroit. They offered him a little below that, which was odd. It
- 59:40wasn't the highest paid, but it was the length of the contract, and
- 59:45so he's gonna get I mean, he's gonna But my point was, let
- 59:50me see find his age. Hold on, I'm gonna go. Okay,
- 59:52fifty one. I would have guessed fifty two. So he's fifty one.
- 59:53Let's say you signed a ten year contract with the Lakers. You get you
- 1:00:00get that money guaranteed. You make sure that contract says I get this money
- 1:00:04even if you fire me after five years and I go coach in year six.
- 1:00:07There's no differentiating salaries or that I want it all. If you can't
- 1:00:13sign that, then so then you've got that. If he gets fired in
- 1:00:16five years, Lebron's gone by five years. Lebron might be gone after next
- 1:00:21year. I don't know. Hold on, So Hurley goes in there and
- 1:00:24coaches and makes the money and then comes back to college basketball as the number
- 1:00:30one guy to get any program he wants when he's done. Now, two
- 1:00:35things will keep you. His family is probably very happy where they're at.
- 1:00:38That could be a reason why not disagree with that? If you're happy what
- 1:00:43you're doing. Hell, what's six million or five million to ten million?
- 1:00:46I mean, I'd take it a lot of more taxes, but a lot
- 1:00:49more cash. And it's la market, which is tough. Lebron might be
- 1:00:52an issue there too. That might be a negative more than a positive.
- 1:00:58You've got an you've got you've got an aging team, not a lot of
- 1:01:00draft picks because they're still paying. You know, obviously we talked about this.
- 1:01:04They do get one this year, but they give up their good one
- 1:01:06next year that's going to be a better draft. Well, and that's only
- 1:01:08because they allowed them to. But maybe the second thing is Repelicans allowed them
- 1:01:13to have it. Pelicans. Yeah, but they got to swap, which
- 1:01:16was smart. They'll take next year's they get next year's. But the thing
- 1:01:20about it is is, I think, honestly, when it comes down to
- 1:01:23it is a I think probably family and happiness. Blah blah blah. Let's
- 1:01:27get past that. That's probably number one reason. But the second thing is
- 1:01:30is I really think there's a hang up somewhere in the negotiations. They'll never
- 1:01:35fucking say it, they'll never admit it, but something stuck that he wasn't
- 1:01:38happy about. It's somewhere. It's maybe it's not years, maybe it's money,
- 1:01:43Maybe it's control of the say and the team, or there's something.
- 1:01:47So now the Lakers go from Hurley who's won two national championships in a row,
- 1:01:53and you watch them hire JJ Reddick, who's never coached, and that's
- 1:01:58going to be the extreme right there, and the players are going to keep
- 1:02:01running the team. That's one problem with LA. Now, there wasn't a
- 1:02:07rumor that Jay Wright, former Villanova coach who won a couple of national championships
- 1:02:12there. He has been rumored to be in the mix. But I think
- 1:02:15that now that that Polinka, who's an idiot. I think I think that
- 1:02:19whole organization out there is run poorly. Ownership down because they're too meddling,
- 1:02:24not as much as they used to be. But I think, look what
- 1:02:27they've done. I mean, they did win a championship during the COVID years
- 1:02:30with no fans, correct short games, whatever. So then you turn around
- 1:02:37and you go from potentially Hurley to potentially Reddick. I don't think they're going
- 1:02:42to settle on Reddick unless there was an assistant from Cleveland. I think won
- 1:02:45the assistant from the Timberwolves is another one. Ham went back to, not
- 1:02:50not an assistant from Cleveland. I'm sorry, Cleveland's looking at an assistant to
- 1:02:53coach them. Yes, Ham went back to the Bucks as the assistant,
- 1:02:59and he wasn't the unnecessarily at fault. I don't necessarily think he's a great
- 1:03:01coach. But anyway, I'm glad you brought that up to begin with,
- 1:03:05because I disagreed with you. I would have took the job and then would
- 1:03:07have had the best. But like I said, if he's happy your family's
- 1:03:12did stay, I agree with that, But I don't think that's the main
- 1:03:15I'm gonna bet that a major reason. I don't think that's gonna be the
- 1:03:19main reason. I think there's some inter lines. It took a little while
- 1:03:23to get this thing rolling. There was a lot of talk behind it,
- 1:03:27and and he had some interest if it went that long. That's just what
- 1:03:32I'm saying. So anyway, talking a little bit about let's talk about Game
- 1:03:37one and Game two. Obviously Celtics routed the Mavericks in Game one? What
- 1:03:46was Sean if you'd flip over that. Can you tell me how they're letting
- 1:03:50Donkey get away with cradling the basketball while he goes for a layout. Oh,
- 1:03:54I think they get away with it where he puts it on his hip.
- 1:03:58There's a picture of it and he's got it on his hip holding it
- 1:04:00and walking up. Yes, and he's literally trying to get around holiday and
- 1:04:05go up. So Game one one O seven eighty nine didn't surprise me at
- 1:04:11all. And the funny thing is about that is both teams shot about Obviously
- 1:04:15Boston shot a little bit better forty versus forty one. But here's what killed
- 1:04:19the Mavericks. Here's what killed the Mavericks, and it was coming, it
- 1:04:23just didn't come against the thunder was that three pointing shooting just did not fall
- 1:04:27like because everything was ree. It's thinking about Lee Brand and what Lee Brand
- 1:04:32said. That Brand said he did him dirty, and now they want to
- 1:04:36make love again, they want to get back together. Seven to twenty seven
- 1:04:41for three point shooting that game, twenty five percent, almost twenty six percent.
- 1:04:46For Dallas, everything fell apart for them as far as the shooting,
- 1:04:50which up into that they had been rocking and rolling and the Celtics mane threes
- 1:04:58than they do. This is the same is the difference in three coaches.
- 1:05:02For Boston, you're seeing a coach who is understanding where to put players when
- 1:05:12you're going against the other team because he switches, He switches his players around
- 1:05:18all the time. He's a better coach than I give him that. Most
- 1:05:20people guess, we didn't expect him to do this. Did not, and
- 1:05:25he looked pretty rough last year. Remember all the rumors was like he didn't
- 1:05:28know what he was doing. He was, yeah, it's his second year.
- 1:05:30Everyone was might be his third, but he was definitely Joel So I
- 1:05:40look this up. He's the third coach. No, it was Brad Stevens
- 1:05:44and they had the other guy that they fired who was having the inappropriate relationship
- 1:05:47with some office scal And he's the coach of the Raptors, I think right
- 1:05:53now, who's screwing oh so man in the office apparently allegedly allegedly a here
- 1:06:02we go. Yeah, okay, so he came in last year, came
- 1:06:08in, but yeah, and I believe there, yes, and I believe
- 1:06:14Adoka is the coach of No darko is where's Udoka coaching at Man? I
- 1:06:21was wrong about that. Oh the Rockets, sorry the Rockets, and they
- 1:06:30had and they did better. Dude's a good coach, he really is.
- 1:06:32He's a Rockets head coach now and and made a huge improvement in that in
- 1:06:36that team one time, and would have been going that way with the Celtics,
- 1:06:42but they you know, when he come in, there was a lot
- 1:06:45of grief from Isola when he came in. I mean, yeah, I
- 1:06:48talked like he didn't know what he was doing and lost the team already.
- 1:06:50I mean, there was rumors essentially of them fire at Missoula. If we're
- 1:06:55firing him his first year. Now, look when he's done his second year.
- 1:06:58He lets the players plays very matter of fact. He puts them where
- 1:07:01they need to be. Well, look at Porzingis. I mean, but
- 1:07:04give Brad Stevens, who didn't coach as well. I think in the second
- 1:07:09Gamezingis and Holiday switched split time. Yeah, well, Danny Ainge was there
- 1:07:15as the GM while Brad Stevens was there as the coach. But Danny Ainge
- 1:07:19would never make a move. He cap all these draft picks, but never
- 1:07:23make a big move and never did. Then left. Now you look at
- 1:07:27Brad Stevens taking over in the GM role, it's been night and day.
- 1:07:29I mean, they bring in Drew Holliday, they bring in Porzingis, and
- 1:07:32those have been the biggest two. Obviously Horford was a bring in, but
- 1:07:36he was on the cheap. But still he's a plus seven, so I
- 1:07:40mean, and he's good. But Porzingis to me had been the well probably
- 1:07:43Holiday actually would have been the biggest, and then porzingis right behind that,
- 1:07:46and they had to give up some picks to bring that in. But now
- 1:07:49they're turning into the championship. Obviously, sixty four and eighteen is a record.
- 1:07:53Right now, they're thirty seven and four, obviously the number one basketball
- 1:07:57record in the in the NBA. You know, I said having four home
- 1:08:00but that was the best They had the best record in the NBA. So
- 1:08:04but Sean, you're right about the players. I mean, in that game
- 1:08:08one, you look at the total assists was twenty three to nine. That
- 1:08:12was a different I mean, that was a huge difference in that besides the
- 1:08:15three point shooting that that Dallas just couldn't knock everything down that they've been doing
- 1:08:18against these other things. Everything else, all about everything else, all about
- 1:08:23changing everything else, everything else was pretty even. Then you go to the
- 1:08:29second game, Boston played there by far way worse than they did in the
- 1:08:33first game. Shot less, field goal presenting was ten thre horrible, horrible
- 1:08:39one. Uh but shot twenty five percent for threes. But look at Dallas.
- 1:08:43They led, and they and then they turn around and shoot twenty three
- 1:08:49percent from threes. Dallas did in game two, free throw persenting or percentage
- 1:08:55was obviously horrible sixteen to twenty four and sixty six percent. Boston only missed
- 1:09:00one and still had less. And then you still they still let and assist,
- 1:09:03so they still let in steals and Dallas led in turnovers. Boston,
- 1:09:08for shooting perspective, was one of the one of their worst games actually in
- 1:09:11the playoffs, besides some of their losses. It's just it. They're gonna
- 1:09:15sweep I think, and maybe Dallas gets one. I hope that, but
- 1:09:17it's gonna be it's gonna be a four to five game series. I think
- 1:09:20they're just that much better. Jason Kidd Jason Kidd talking ship, Well,
- 1:09:25it's just there. Look at PJ. Washington for example. I mean,
- 1:09:28was an All Star against the Thunder scored twenty thirty points. He means seventeen.
- 1:09:32He's won a five to three point It's just it's just so. Did
- 1:09:39I think it's giddy Oklahoma City? Was it trade or what? Yeah?
- 1:09:44I go to Utah for money. They were like, this is just many,
- 1:09:49Well a bigger contract. Yeah, we gotta get sent out of the
- 1:09:53guy. I think he is gonna be moved just because he doesn't fit what
- 1:09:57we're doing. I mean, if somebody wants a real if somebody wants a
- 1:10:00real point guard that moves the ball and feeds everybody and doesn't have to be
- 1:10:02the score, then he could fit somewhere. You know, who really would
- 1:10:06fit there would be somewhere like Minnesota. They don't have a really true point
- 1:10:10guard. Yeah, I don't think that's good. Well the Lively guy?
- 1:10:15Was it Lively? Is that his name? Yeah? Not Lively. No,
- 1:10:17it's not Lively. It's you can seem right, right? What was
- 1:10:21it? Look, I'm now I've got to know, Well, you can
- 1:10:26just trye ok City just traded the point guard for the uh for one of
- 1:10:30the biggers. Yeah, and it's the one I want, and they'll never
- 1:10:32give him a uh nos reed as read yes nos Reed would be perfect for
- 1:10:39the thunder. All right, So anything else on the NBA, I don't
- 1:10:43know. I really have nothing. It's just Boston's up to nothing. Was
- 1:10:46just I'm happy. I'm happy they are. Okay, I want to close
- 1:10:48a little bit. I'll make it. I'll make it brief. And this
- 1:10:54was the big sports news that that uh sports news for you. Well,
- 1:10:58they came us that Kaitlyn Clark was not nominated to be the uh on the
- 1:11:04nominated to be one of the twelve on the US Women's Olympic. Obviously,
- 1:11:10WNBA takes time off and they go over there. It's Olympics this year.
- 1:11:13No, I think it's I think you say, who cares? But I
- 1:11:15think if you look at statistics, Anther's up two to one three. But
- 1:11:20if you look at statistics for the w n B, A if you're building
- 1:11:23a business, and one hundred and fifty percent just in attendance this year,
- 1:11:30you've also got TV highest rate ratings ever for the NBA. Money pouring into
- 1:11:35there, And then you turn around, it's not money pouring in. Do
- 1:11:39you think it's money That money is not pouring in. Oh, it's compared
- 1:11:42to what zero to one hundred that's pouring in to the poor. Okay,
- 1:11:45So I'm just gonna let you know. The NBA is loving it because they're
- 1:11:48not having to subsidize as much they subsidy. They still will. But I'm
- 1:11:53saying that's like, that's like softball. Do you think that our softball team
- 1:11:56probably makes money but the rest of them don't. So I mean, but
- 1:12:00what I'm saying is WNBA. I mean this is the biggest they've ever been
- 1:12:03in their entire history. And there's a reason for it. There's one gal
- 1:12:08that plays really good basketball, probably and it's Christina Brink probably one of the
- 1:12:13best old time bank the best all time players in college. And then they
- 1:12:19and they have a chance to build a brand in the Olympics watching women.
- 1:12:24I mean, can you imagine is NBC gone? I think you can slide
- 1:12:27her on the arrest her, but no one will now and they're still not
- 1:12:30going to. But you see a pattern of people watching this now. Is
- 1:12:35Caitlyn Clark better than those twelve I don't know. She might not be,
- 1:12:40but I'm saying you sometimes for the Olympics and for the people, and I
- 1:12:45guarantee you this, she's going to become an alternate. And I read some
- 1:12:47story I don't know how true it was that they looked at her as one
- 1:12:49of the alternates. If someone happens to drop out, watch she becomes on
- 1:12:55that team somehow, because somebody is going to quote un drop out, she
- 1:13:00should be on the men's team. Well can she travel to Paris? Oh?
- 1:13:04I don't know, you know, I mean, there's things to think
- 1:13:08about, But I mean, and I haven't. I haven't all, I
- 1:13:12haven't watched does she not just buy Paris weed? I haven't watched Britney play
- 1:13:16this year? Horrible. Oh no, she's had a tow injury. I'm
- 1:13:18sorry. Okay, but she's on the US on the US team. Okay,
- 1:13:23No, she is on the US team that she just came back from
- 1:13:26a toe injury. And then you've got Chiossie who's given ship to Caitlyn lost.
- 1:13:30You've got Tarossie who's forties that's given ship to Caitlyn Clark. No,
- 1:13:33it's just it's just when you you you sometimes just see something and it's so
- 1:13:39obvious and then they still go around it. Yeah, but I don't care.
- 1:13:43Well no, I mean a lot of people care. I mean you
- 1:13:45don't, but statistically by the viewership, a lot of people care about that.
- 1:13:49Do you even know that the National Women's Hockey League just finished their season?
- 1:13:53Nobody watches that. If they had someone that nobody watches a fucking w
- 1:13:57NBA either, will you'd be surprised. I'm very surprised by a bunch.
- 1:14:00It's more than softball. It's more than softball, way more than because we
- 1:14:04don't have a national softball way more than softball. We don't have a national
- 1:14:08we have college so they TV college women. Huh, how much television?
- 1:14:14How much time? How much time are they on TV? A bunch and
- 1:14:15they're on ESPN, plus a lot of those games are on ESPN ball they're
- 1:14:20not on regular ESPN like the women's stupid basketball game. But I like women's
- 1:14:26college basketball, but I don't like women's professional basketball. They're all a bunch
- 1:14:30of company bitches. But I'm saying that that called dumb that college basketball has
- 1:14:33led into the increase in the w NBA because those players are transitioning to the
- 1:14:38professional league. I would rather watch women's hockey. I would rather watch women's
- 1:14:42soccer. I would rather watch your more in the minority. When it comes
- 1:14:45to that, you're right because I'm Native American. No, it's just you
- 1:14:47are you? You just are like, No, it's just you are.
- 1:14:51Because the statistics will show you that it's much bigger. They'll show you it's
- 1:14:59a bat. All I'm saying is is when you have the ability to shine
- 1:15:02your star and take her across seas, Cameron is better than her. I'm
- 1:15:08not saying about better, it's just you take them. Christian Laightner was on
- 1:15:12the Dream Team. Did you know that? Do you remember that? Okay,
- 1:15:15I remember that, and he's that was his college transition. They were
- 1:15:17trying to transition those into that. Now you you even know the starting lineup
- 1:15:21in the Dream Team, it have to be Jordan Johnson, Bird, Jordan
- 1:15:28Johnson Birds, probably Stockton and Berkley. I don't think Barklay had to be
- 1:15:33stalked and he had to be the point. Michael was a shooting yeah,
- 1:15:39oh no, Magic was point. I bet yeah. Pippin was on the
- 1:15:43team they went to start. You don't Barkley a bad Let's google it up.
- 1:15:51It'd be the ninety ninety nineteen ninety six and they probably rotated those starters.
- 1:16:03But anyway, just going back to my original point is for the US
- 1:16:08Olympic team to leave her off. There's a lot of jealousy. Women can
- 1:16:12be women around other women. You've seen this. A lot of people are
- 1:16:15pissed because she's making so money being Johnson, Barkley, Malone and Ewing.
- 1:16:18Oh I forgot about Malone. I'll call Malone. Forgot about Malone, Pip
- 1:16:24and Robinson, Mullen, Drexler, Stocked and then later yeah, I forgot
- 1:16:28about Mulan too. Well, everybody kind of forgets. He was so good,
- 1:16:31though very underrated, very good. He'd bring that fucking high and tight
- 1:16:36right to the lane and you'd be like, what, he just went past
- 1:16:40me. He might have say over in the fifties, just run by and
- 1:16:44get that team good with like nobody else on they did. He really did.
- 1:16:48You never knew how that happened. But yeah, well anyway, it
- 1:16:51was more of a marketing deal. It's just up three to one now and
- 1:16:55the Panthers seven looks like that's gonna be another to two. Oh to that.
- 1:17:00Hey, US se US team, bring Caitlyn on, just the US
- 1:17:04who cares? Just to do it? Just the Olympics are garbage. Just
- 1:17:08do it. How many times has Lebron been on there? You know what?
- 1:17:11They're not doing softball this year? I know because because the American women
- 1:17:15dominate. If a seven country dominates, they get rid of it. Well,
- 1:17:21haven't we dominated basketball in the women's No, I thought we had.
- 1:17:28Let's see, Uh, we'll give your Olympic eideline. Hi, I'm Bob
- 1:17:34Costas here, and we're going to talk about the log I'd be the winner.
- 1:17:39Wouldn't it. Winter is much more fun than it is really a skeleton
- 1:17:44whatever that little thing he is where you sweep them in there. Curling,
- 1:17:47Yes, yes, curly is the greatest test. The ice sweeping is what
- 1:17:50I call it. Yes, I think you have mixed doubles with the curling.
- 1:17:55I know for uh, for lead ups you do. Uh. Well,
- 1:18:00I think it should be more popular. I can see why it's not,
- 1:18:01though, because it'd be expenses would be high to keep the ice,
- 1:18:05you know. But some of these Tulsa, these this Tulsa rink should set
- 1:18:09up some of that for curling on their off times. So but anyway,
- 1:18:15I'm gonna look at their lass. Okay, gold medals. They have gold
- 1:18:18medaled in uh sixteen, twenty twelve. Yeah, they should be about to
- 1:18:26be getting That's what I told you. I think that was every one of
- 1:18:30them. Yeah, for the last like six eight years, or it's not
- 1:18:32six eight years, six eight Olympics. Oh, I stopped watching the Olympics
- 1:18:36they got. I do watch it. I did watch a lot of Now
- 1:18:41you know what you'll find I'll find myself watching some nights as like gymnastics or
- 1:18:45SENTI if we've got some local you know, remember Ou or not Ou.
- 1:18:48Oklahoma's had some generally some local flare in the Olympics for gymnastics, So I
- 1:18:55tend to watch a little bit of that and then you kind of watch your
- 1:18:59bet, you know, watching the diving, the swimming and stuff if nobody's
- 1:19:02really doing it. So all right, here we gocularity. Oh see it
- 1:19:11says it's only popular in America's, Asian Australian not outside of North America.
- 1:19:15Huh. And see you look at that China, Japan and Australia have won
- 1:19:21that. I'll see host rules are all different. Gotcha. Removal softball from
- 1:19:29two thousand and eight may have been negative impact for the game. Government reduced
- 1:19:32funding for it. Ope, but it will return in the twenty twenty eight
- 1:19:35games in Los Angeles. Yes, just like lacrosse and squash and cricket and
- 1:19:42flag fucking foot Yeah, see football. I don't think flag football should be
- 1:19:45an Olympics. Well, you like watching the fucking Pro Bowl. I don't
- 1:19:48watch Pro Bowl. Yeah? You did you watch it this last You're like,
- 1:19:50man, I was entertaining with seventy eight to seven hundred and five.
- 1:19:54No, I didn't say it was entertaining. I said, I saw the
- 1:19:57events were more entertaining than just the football, because is the football is so
- 1:20:00bad And they did a tug of Warren stuff. I was watching that,
- 1:20:02so it's almost like, what do you call that the like the American Gladiators
- 1:20:06type deal. Make it into that and that would be more entertaining than having
- 1:20:11them actually play for Jack. Yeah, exactly. All right. Oh,
- 1:20:15Evan Rodriguez is one goal away from uh from hat trick. Oh nice,
- 1:20:20and Florida's on a power play right now? All right, there we go,
- 1:20:24all right, close up. Thank y'all. Three to one right now,
- 1:20:27six forty six, we're gonna finish. Appreciate you all listening, Stay
