- 0:50Speaker 5: They're chaining his name twice over and over again. Help fitting.
- 0:55Speaker 4: Maybe we should call that aus Augusta Radio, not Masters Radio.
- 0:59Speaker 6: I perhad, but the rare call that was actually felt
- 1:02Speaker 6: bigger than the moment. How about that?
- 1:03Speaker 3: That's true?
- 1:04Speaker 4: I did that guy is good?
- 1:06Speaker 6: Who is that guy? Get him on the show. And
- 1:11Speaker 6: by the way, that's the other thing that annoyed me.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I mean, do we have to wait around for Rory
- 1:15Speaker 1: to you know, tap in a two inch putt? How
- 1:18Speaker 1: about Cam Young just make his pott or take his
- 1:21Speaker 1: pott put it in the hole and then the floor
- 1:24Speaker 1: is Rory's. I mean, what are we doing there? What
- 1:26Speaker 1: happened yesterday? I'm telling you Moving Day was too good
- 1:29Speaker 1: that it ruined Sunday. Let's go to our Robin Maine
- 1:32Speaker 1: before we get to Dan Buyer's update and a Matt
- 1:34Speaker 1: Rushmore Monday.
- 1:36Speaker 6: Rob, go ahead, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
- 1:38Speaker 7: God, I've been listening to the Wake and Take I
- 1:41Speaker 7: got takes. You gotta get him out of me, all right,
- 1:46Speaker 7: you gotta get him out of me, and you make
- 1:49Speaker 7: up a whole song with your phone number and get
- 1:51Speaker 7: the old school calls back on that. I was so
- 1:53Speaker 7: happy to hear you on the station. I'm the fair blessed.
- 1:56Speaker 8: To have you.
- 1:57Speaker 9: I'm good, all right.
- 1:58Speaker 6: Thank you, Rob.
- 2:00Speaker 9: Wait, wait one more thing, go ahead, temmy fame on
- 2:04Speaker 9: the Mets. He might light the fire, you know, he
- 2:06Speaker 9: might slap somebody around and do a thing. And in
- 2:09Speaker 9: my personal record book, Shae has no MVPs. I mean,
- 2:14Speaker 9: yours came.
- 2:14Speaker 7: Out before the whole Shay and Joker things. So what
- 2:17Speaker 7: do you got to say about that?
- 2:19Speaker 10: Jo?
- 2:19Speaker 9: It's one of the last few MVPs. What's your personal
- 2:21Speaker 9: record book? Hung up to listen great show. I'll call back.
- 2:24Speaker 1: You love you, thank you, all right, we love you too.
- 2:27Speaker 1: You want to take the joke each question away. I
- 2:28Speaker 1: didn't hear it because Taylor was in my headset telling
- 2:30Speaker 1: me so.
- 2:31Speaker 4: No, it was in his personal and it was it
- 2:33Speaker 4: John and Mane and John Rob excuse me, Rob's personal
- 2:35Speaker 4: record book. Shay Gildess. Alexander does not have an MVP.
- 2:39Speaker 4: He didn't really say why. I'm guessing it's a lot
- 2:41Speaker 4: of the foul baiting.
- 2:42Speaker 6: It's zz plus that's why I mean, how about that.
- 2:46Speaker 6: I mean, he leads the.
- 2:47Speaker 4: League, but he was asking you what you thought about that.
- 2:51Speaker 4: In regards to Shaye's MVP, I agree with him. And also,
- 2:54Speaker 4: I will tell you this about the Mets. I don't
- 2:55Speaker 4: care what Tommy fam does. As long as lind Door
- 2:58Speaker 4: keeps playing like this, it doesn't matter.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I am telling you, Wfam, We're twelve games into the
- 3:02Speaker 1: baseball season. Taylor has turned four times on the Yankees already.
- 3:06Speaker 1: They went for the best team to the worst team
- 3:08Speaker 1: he's ever seen of all time, worst Yankee team of
- 3:10Speaker 1: all time. And I am telling you, wfan, they want
- 3:13Speaker 1: to trade Lindor.
- 3:15Speaker 6: I mean, we're twelve fourteen games into the season.
- 3:19Speaker 4: It just started.
- 3:20Speaker 6: There's one hundred and fifty games to go, Taylor.
- 3:22Speaker 10: It doesn't help that Francisco Lindor had a lot of
- 3:26Speaker 10: problems behind the scenes, rumored with a lot of his
- 3:28Speaker 10: teammates that they wound up getting rid of the Pete Alonzo's,
- 3:31Speaker 10: the Brandon Nemos. So it's compounded by Lindor's struggles, but
- 3:36Speaker 10: also they traded away people because of Lindor, mostly Brandon Nemo,
- 3:41Speaker 10: who's batting like three sixty seven in Texas this year.
- 3:44Speaker 4: I could you hate the Polar Bear they're seven and nine.
- 3:47Speaker 1: The Mets that were in last place, fire everyone, all right,
- 3:51Speaker 1: thank you, Dan, stay right there. You are the judge
- 3:53Speaker 1: of the Mount Rushmore. Monday here every Monday except for
- 3:56Speaker 1: last Monday.
- 3:56Speaker 6: Taylor won. There's an asterisk next to it. Well, Dan
- 4:00Speaker 6: wasn't here.
- 4:01Speaker 4: What's next to it?
- 4:02Speaker 6: An asterisk?
- 4:03Speaker 4: What did I say?
- 4:04Speaker 10: No?
- 4:04Speaker 4: You said what most people say. You're just missing that.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Say an anyway.
- 4:13Speaker 6: What is the give me the imaging? I always saying?
- 4:16Speaker 8: Thank you there?
- 4:17Speaker 2: Yeah, you the guy with the spreadsheet pretending to work.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Do you find yourself needing a pick me up as
- 4:25Speaker 2: you're dragging in your cubicle start the week. Are you
- 4:30Speaker 2: ready to put the sports back in sports talk? Well,
- 4:34Speaker 2: then you're in luck because every Monday we climbed a
- 4:38Speaker 2: mount we call the legends, and we argue about things.
- 4:44Speaker 5: The truth you can't handle, the truth.
- 4:46Speaker 2: That absolutely do not matter and are completely subjective. This
- 4:51Speaker 2: is mouth rush More Monday, Monday.
- 4:55Speaker 10: So this one is going to be right in Dan's
- 4:58Speaker 10: wheelhouse today. The Mount Rushmore Monday is of Masters champions. Wow,
- 5:03Speaker 10: No mikey A. Today, Iowa Sam A very tepid. Iowa
- 5:08Speaker 10: Sam is filling it from.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Which is well, which is odd considering that no one
- 5:12Speaker 1: loves the Masters more than Iowa Sam. No one loves
- 5:15Speaker 1: the you know, the game of golf, the sport of golf,
- 5:17Speaker 1: the history of golf more so than Iowa Sam.
- 5:21Speaker 6: Taylor.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. Please, does mikey A lead
- 5:23Speaker 1: the show in vacation case? Jeez, I's got to come
- 5:28Speaker 1: back one hundred.
- 5:29Speaker 10: I mean, he's the game for an unlimited policy.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Absence, by the way, is for absence, Yes, for absent.
- 5:37Speaker 6: Put it on the poll.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I also don't know what to do with Taylor and
- 5:40Speaker 1: Mikey They have fallen in love with sal Lacata and
- 5:43Speaker 1: they have dates with him. I'm pretty certain mikey A
- 5:45Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be on vacation this week, but the
- 5:47Speaker 1: locatas invited him to go on vacation with him, and
- 5:50Speaker 1: so he's there. And now Taylor's telling me on Friday
- 5:53Speaker 1: he's going to a Yankee game with Sal.
- 5:54Speaker 6: I mean, it's a long way to go. I mean
- 5:57Speaker 6: if if.
- 5:58Speaker 10: Aaron Boone is still the manager by product, which is
- 6:01Speaker 10: a big if at this point.
- 6:02Speaker 4: By the way, this mount rushmore very dependent on the draw.
- 6:06Speaker 6: Yes, I would say you think that.
- 6:08Speaker 4: I mean, there's only a couple of guys that are
- 6:10Speaker 4: gonna be considered for number one.
- 6:12Speaker 6: Yeah. Oh damn.
- 6:13Speaker 10: So this list was randomized and we're gonna do a
- 6:15Speaker 10: snake draft picking first it's easy. Yeah, congratulations, then me, Yeah,
- 6:22Speaker 10: then Iowa Sam, then Stu gots for the snake background.
- 6:25Speaker 1: So Iowa Sam. Just so we're clear, Okay, in no
- 6:28Speaker 1: particular order. Tiger and Jack are probably gonna go one two.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Do you know a third golfer?
- 6:32Speaker 3: I mean, yes, I've been preparing for this. I've got
- 6:36Speaker 3: notes written down. Yes, And I think Taylor said tepid.
- 6:40Speaker 3: I can't you could say that maybe Timid. I just
- 6:43Speaker 3: I'm coming at this as a golf amateur, golf novice,
- 6:46Speaker 3: so we'll give it a shot.
- 6:47Speaker 10: Okay, so Stu, Yeah, Iowa Sam texting me, he said, Hey,
- 6:51Speaker 10: when somebody gets picked in snake draft in the Mount
- 6:54Speaker 10: Rushmore Monday, are they off the board? I said, yes,
- 6:56Speaker 10: they are. Thank you for listening to the past six versions.
- 6:59Speaker 3: Jesus Or and he said, in the history of draft,
- 7:02Speaker 3: I know I know how to draft. I was just like,
- 7:04Speaker 3: all right, is it? Could we have carryovers to it
- 7:07Speaker 3: each Mount Rushmore and the answers.
- 7:08Speaker 1: No, all right, we'd draft. Follow up questions very important.
- 7:11Speaker 1: But again to Taylor's point, have you listened?
- 7:13Speaker 3: I mean, you know you're in there?
- 7:16Speaker 6: Is it?
- 7:16Speaker 10: You're on the clock.
- 7:18Speaker 4: You can stop that clock right now. I'm going with
- 7:20Speaker 4: Jack Nicholas. Nobody has more. The man had a whole
- 7:23Speaker 4: hour long special on just one of his wins right
- 7:25Speaker 4: before the Sunday's tournament. Jack Nicholas is on my winning
- 7:29Speaker 4: Mount Rushmore.
- 7:30Speaker 6: Okay, that's a good one. Yeah.
- 7:32Speaker 10: So I really just wanted one or two because I
- 7:35Speaker 10: don't think you can go wrong with either first or second. Here,
- 7:37Speaker 10: I'm gonna go Tiger Woods.
- 7:39Speaker 6: Why not see Iowa, Sam's gonna take here. There's an
- 7:43Speaker 6: obvious third choice here. We'll see if I was, Sam
- 7:45Speaker 6: takes it.
- 7:45Speaker 3: All right, give me mister half iced tea, mister half lemonade.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Arnold Palmer, Jim Palmer, Jim Palmer, Arnold Jim Palmer.
- 7:55Speaker 8: Wow, six off one.
- 7:57Speaker 3: He's got a drink named after him.
- 8:00Speaker 1: I get two here, right, so I'm good. No, you're right,
- 8:01Speaker 1: that's the obvious third pick. Guy with Sam, You're off
- 8:03Speaker 1: to a good start. Obvious third pick. I get two here.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Geez, she's the week.
- 8:10Speaker 1: I gotta go Nick Faldo because Rory joined that group
- 8:14Speaker 1: of Tiger jack and Nick Faldos, guys who have won
- 8:17Speaker 1: back to back Green Jackets.
- 8:19Speaker 11: But if you didn't have that third one, Faldo, the
- 8:21Speaker 11: third one on this list, the third No, the third
- 8:23Speaker 11: one is important. Back to back, certainly hammers at home,
- 8:27Speaker 11: but that third one is important. And then I'll have
- 8:29Speaker 11: to go with lefty Phil Mickelson, one of my favorite
- 8:33Speaker 11: golfers of all time. He won three as well, So
- 8:36Speaker 11: I'll go. I'll go Faldo who won three plus back
- 8:39Speaker 11: to back Mickelson who won three.
- 8:42Speaker 6: I'm off to a good start.
- 8:43Speaker 10: Yeah, go ahead, all right, was saying back to you.
- 8:47Speaker 3: All right, I will go with the South African Gary player,
- 8:49Speaker 3: three time winner. He's still alive, He's ninety years old.
- 8:53Speaker 3: He won a Master's while JFK was still alive, and
- 8:56Speaker 3: his name's Player, So how could he not love that?
- 8:58Speaker 6: So Gary plays are better shape than all of us.
- 9:00Speaker 6: That's crazy. Yes, take easy out of the equation. All
- 9:03Speaker 6: that guy's shredded.
- 9:04Speaker 10: Yeah, why was he being alive? Mentioned like it?
- 9:07Speaker 3: Like it was a cool ninety has always been around.
- 9:10Speaker 3: He played in the sixties Masters like I mean this,
- 9:13Speaker 3: that's cool.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Right, he's still on that first tee along with everyone.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Yeah right, jackets a standing ovation for a horrible drive,
- 9:19Speaker 1: I mean just terribly shanked it.
- 9:21Speaker 6: I mean, but he's Jack.
- 9:25Speaker 10: So I'm on the clock here for the second round.
- 9:28Speaker 10: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna need some help with the
- 9:31Speaker 10: pronunciation here, Seve Balistero.
- 9:38Speaker 4: All of Spain is just mocking you right now for
- 9:41Speaker 4: that pronunciation.
- 9:42Speaker 6: Say it again, please just said Dan can cringe.
- 9:44Speaker 10: Go ahead, Seve Balistero, time champ. I know who it
- 9:52Speaker 10: is because he dragged He dragged European golf out of
- 9:57Speaker 10: irrelevance and made the Ryder Cup to a formidable competition.
- 10:02Speaker 10: So I know the name, I just didn't know how
- 10:04Speaker 10: to pronounce it. So I'm sorry.
- 10:06Speaker 6: Jesus golf snobs, Yeah, Jesus worst group. All Right, here's
- 10:12Speaker 6: up here we are.
- 10:13Speaker 3: He's got back to back pick, back to back.
- 10:15Speaker 4: So I'm going with a couple of names that I
- 10:18Speaker 4: don't really know anything about other than they're mentioned a
- 10:21Speaker 4: lot when they talk about master's greats. Okay, number one,
- 10:26Speaker 4: Sam Snead, Yes, I have no idea what kind of
- 10:30Speaker 4: golf gave this guy had. I really don't even know
- 10:32Speaker 4: when he played he was greatest, but he won three
- 10:34Speaker 4: of these bad boys and must have been really good.
- 10:36Speaker 6: Yes.
- 10:37Speaker 4: And then I'm going with the name that I hear
- 10:38Speaker 4: again all the time, and as soon as I hear it,
- 10:40Speaker 4: I think, oh, they must be talking about the masters,
- 10:43Speaker 4: Ben Hogan.
- 10:44Speaker 12: Yes, chalk names right there, right, Yes, I mean, don't
- 10:50Speaker 12: have anything about their games, don't have anything about their impact,
- 10:53Speaker 12: but just their names are associated with this turtle.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's go back to Taylor. Hear his his
- 10:59Speaker 1: second to.
- 10:59Speaker 6: Last pick here.
- 11:00Speaker 10: Yeah, So I didn't think this name was gonna get
- 11:02Speaker 10: back to me. I gotta go Rory McElroy. You have
- 11:05Speaker 10: to yes, back to back champ back to back for Max.
- 11:08Speaker 4: Yes, although and Stu's personal record book it's three apparently.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he got one for Saturday him, I mean,
- 11:14Speaker 1: just for doing nothing, letting the field come back to him.
- 11:18Speaker 6: Thank you. Let's go to Iowa, Sam, Iowa, Sam, go ahead.
- 11:21Speaker 3: All right, I was gonna take Rory. I'm bumping up
- 11:24Speaker 3: though a hometown favorite. I don't care if I get
- 11:26Speaker 3: dock points for this. But when Zack Johnson won in
- 11:29Speaker 3: two thousand and seven, the entire state of Iowa went nuts. Uh,
- 11:33Speaker 3: So I gotta take Zach Johnson because he would actually,
- 11:35Speaker 3: you know, go on to win a British Open. I
- 11:36Speaker 3: know that's separate championship, separate tournament, but the guy is
- 11:40Speaker 3: now with two majors. He's kind of in rare fight air.
- 11:43Speaker 3: So give me Zack Johnson two thousand and seven champion.
- 11:45Speaker 4: Sam has clearly never listened to any of the Mount
- 11:47Speaker 4: Rushmore segments because you're not going to get Dan Bayer's favorite.
- 11:50Speaker 3: But that's fine. I'd take a Homer pick Zach Johnson.
- 11:53Speaker 6: Congratulate you on fourth place.
- 11:55Speaker 3: By I'm good with that. Was that like a brown ribbon.
- 12:00Speaker 3: I'm fine with that, all right, I get too here.
- 12:06Speaker 10: Interesting to go Zach Johnson there, because you would almost
- 12:08Speaker 10: assume he could have just got him in.
- 12:09Speaker 3: The fourth rounds.
- 12:10Speaker 6: Yes, I would have left him, Yes.
- 12:12Speaker 4: Fifth or sixth round. Actually, if we were going fifth round,
- 12:14Speaker 4: if we were going with a mount Greg Mortle.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know what to do here, man, I'm torn.
- 12:22Speaker 6: I have two picks, all right. I'm gonna take a
- 12:23Speaker 6: hometown guy, Larry Myz.
- 12:25Speaker 1: I made fun of it in the first segment, but
- 12:27Speaker 1: that was the rare story where not one of the
- 12:29Speaker 1: favorites won, but it was still a great story. Also
- 12:33Speaker 1: with a great shot a chip to win the Masters
- 12:35Speaker 1: in sudden death, a guy that's from Augusta who dreamed
- 12:38Speaker 1: of winning that tournament his entire life. Hometown kid. So
- 12:42Speaker 1: I'll go Larry Miz who only won one. The next
- 12:45Speaker 1: one's gonna be tough.
- 12:46Speaker 6: Who like is he? I'm just gonna pick a name
- 12:50Speaker 6: and hope that Dan Byer likes this name. He won two.
- 12:54Speaker 6: I'm gonna say Tom Watson.
- 12:55Speaker 4: Wow, Yeah, what a name.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Yes, Tom Watson. So that's my four right there. We
- 13:01Speaker 1: go back to uh Iowa. Sam Unfortunately, all.
- 13:07Speaker 6: Unfortunately, I love I it was Sam.
- 13:09Speaker 10: I mean, just seems like a foregone conclusion.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Yes, it's like a pro am tournament, fourth gone conclusion.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Gus is an amateurs Mount Rushmore. I'm going with a
- 13:18Speaker 3: guy that like kind of disappeared, if anyone could fill
- 13:21Speaker 3: me in. But I remember VJ. Sing being a name
- 13:23Speaker 3: for a minute.
- 13:24Speaker 10: Wow, I had him on my board.
- 13:25Speaker 3: I will take VJ.
- 13:26Speaker 6: Sing.
- 13:26Speaker 3: He was the champion in the year two thousand.
- 13:31Speaker 6: You knew that right off the top of your head. Huh.
- 13:33Speaker 3: I just it's like one of those names. And when
- 13:34Speaker 3: I was a teenager, I'm like, Okay, a VJ. Sing
- 13:36Speaker 3: Master's Champion. Where's he been? Where's he been?
- 13:39Speaker 1: I don't know where. That's where practice on the ball?
- 13:44Speaker 1: Where is VJ?
- 13:45Speaker 6: Sing? Bit? You kind of sung your answer too? Was
- 13:49Speaker 6: that in honor of singing? What do you do well?
- 13:51Speaker 3: The old Conan bit in the year two.
- 13:56Speaker 6: All right, let's go back to Taylor here. I have
- 13:58Speaker 6: a feeling like I'm winning.
- 14:00Speaker 4: Seve He's off the board.
- 14:09Speaker 10: So I'm gonna go with the ninety two Masters champion
- 14:15Speaker 10: and somebody that you could still pencil in first round.
- 14:18Speaker 10: He's gonna be minus four when he gets to amen corner,
- 14:22Speaker 10: Freddy Couples.
- 14:23Speaker 6: That's a great one, it really is.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Yes, I'm telling you, he has the first five holes
- 14:27Speaker 1: committed to memory.
- 14:28Speaker 6: After that the memory starts to.
- 14:30Speaker 10: Face a corner, he just starts praying.
- 14:35Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 14:35Speaker 6: I mean he's old.
- 14:36Speaker 4: His back is killing him so good.
- 14:39Speaker 6: I wish you could have stayed healthy. All right.
- 14:40Speaker 4: So it's really tough and I'm struggling to leave him
- 14:44Speaker 4: off of my list. I was hoping one of you
- 14:45Speaker 4: guys would have taken Bubba Watson off the board because
- 14:48Speaker 4: he won a couple of them. He has this amazing one, amazing,
- 14:51Speaker 4: ridiculous shot that he hit was just the creativity as
- 14:54Speaker 4: if with him is through the roof. But he just
- 14:57Speaker 4: hasn't done anything other than those two. Really in the
- 14:59Speaker 4: MA that's all you need. So but Bernhard Longer, he
- 15:04Speaker 4: has won the two and he also has competed for
- 15:08Speaker 4: longer if you will get longer, and he had a
- 15:11Speaker 4: bounce with Jack Nicholas and just super consistent in the Masters.
- 15:15Speaker 4: So Bernhard Longer great is my fourth pick?
- 15:17Speaker 6: Really well, I would have stayed with Bubba.
- 15:19Speaker 4: I would have. Yeah, that's why you're not gonna win that.
- 15:21Speaker 6: Stan Byer Shuffler know Scottie Wow.
- 15:24Speaker 13: I'll tell you what just just immediately is he made
- 15:27Speaker 13: the right choice. I think that that Longer is a
- 15:29Speaker 13: better choice than Bubba Watson.
- 15:31Speaker 4: I made the choice with my heart, with my head,
- 15:33Speaker 4: not my heart.
- 15:34Speaker 6: He just respects the game. He likes Longer. I mean,
- 15:36Speaker 6: I should have said Walter Hagen. I mean I'm upset.
- 15:39Speaker 13: I think I think that that Longer's not only his longevity,
- 15:43Speaker 13: but also for how well he has played in some
- 15:46Speaker 13: of the Masters when he was later in age.
- 15:50Speaker 14: I think that that plays a role with it. I
- 15:52Speaker 14: think that the Fredreddy Couples before Freddy Couples, Yeah, I
- 15:54Speaker 14: think the fred Couples pick was magnificent. I don't know
- 15:57Speaker 14: if anybody gets more out of their one win than
- 15:59Speaker 14: Fred Couples does it.
- 16:01Speaker 3: It's a magnificent pick. Iowa Sam, It's four Zach Johnson
- 16:06Speaker 3: and VJ. Singh. He was pretty bit a tough spot.
- 16:09Speaker 13: He made the right pick with Arnold Palmer, made the
- 16:11Speaker 13: right pick with Gary Player on the back side.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Started out strong, yeah yeah, then tapered off.
- 16:16Speaker 13: Studio Stuarts third, what good collection of guys. Mice may
- 16:22Speaker 13: have turned it off. Maybe another guy maximizing. But Fred
- 16:26Speaker 13: Couples was a better player than Larry mies was. I
- 16:29Speaker 13: think the hometown kid also allowed myce to be special,
- 16:33Speaker 13: and because he broke Greg Norman's heart, so that also
- 16:37Speaker 13: puts you up on a higher on the list. But
- 16:40Speaker 13: I think overall, when you have Jack and Tiger there
- 16:42Speaker 13: like that's one two, that's gonna be one too. Fred
- 16:45Speaker 13: Couples was a great, great pick, so was Bernard Longer
- 16:49Speaker 13: over Bubba Watson.
- 16:52Speaker 3: Taylor wins is he a second?
- 16:55Speaker 4: Wow?
- 16:57Speaker 13: Unbelievable, But there's an asterisk next to the first one.
- 17:03Speaker 6: I mean, what do you know.
- 17:04Speaker 4: What you mean?
- 17:06Speaker 3: Tiger's five?
- 17:06Speaker 6: He said that Dan.
- 17:11Speaker 13: McElroy in the moment the Fred Couples the recognition, they
- 17:14Speaker 13: say like I can take someone with one win, and
- 17:18Speaker 13: no more so than Ian Woosdom. I mean, there are
- 17:21Speaker 13: a couple of two time winners of Jose Maria Olthabo.
- 17:24Speaker 13: You could have been Scotti Scheffler and maybe got some
- 17:26Speaker 13: recency bias, but to understand the couple's angle, that's what
- 17:30Speaker 13: I loved.
- 17:32Speaker 1: I mean, it's fortunate for Tailor. It's not about pronunciation.
- 17:35Speaker 1: I mean it was he would have lost in a Landslide.
- 17:39Speaker 6: I mean, Jesus, let me hear.
- 17:44Speaker 1: Yes one more time and the greatest Spanish golfer to
- 17:46Speaker 1: ever live.

- 18:26Speaker 1: score of the soccer game? I mean it went to
- 18:29Speaker 1: half nil nil. Boom, cash those tickets.
- 18:32Speaker 4: It always does nils everywhere.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Yes, all right, it's a weekly segment here. I need
- 18:39Speaker 1: some music for it.
- 18:41Speaker 6: Just me or.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Who is going to kick off the proceedings today? I
- 18:46Speaker 1: am told that Iowa Sam doesn't have one. I'm not
- 18:48Speaker 1: certain if portot Ricardo has one. He's usually watching baseball.
- 18:52Speaker 1: I know is he has one. I'm not certain if
- 18:54Speaker 1: Dan has one. We'll just go around the room if
- 18:56Speaker 1: you have oh thumbs up from Dan about that?
- 19:01Speaker 4: Let's start the feeling Dan is annoyed by us.
- 19:04Speaker 1: I mean, the only question is is he hate us
- 19:07Speaker 1: more than he hates Iowa sick?
- 19:09Speaker 4: That's impossible.
- 19:10Speaker 6: Bit I don't know.
- 19:16Speaker 4: All right, he's kicking us off off with quiet.
- 19:23Speaker 6: Let's go to uh bordout.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Ricardo here prying himself away from the soccer match just
- 19:30Speaker 1: for a second to deliver just me or all right?
- 19:33Speaker 6: Is it just me?
- 19:34Speaker 15: Or the the Doc Rivers Rivers experiment Milwaukee go exactly
- 19:37Speaker 15: as expected.
- 19:40Speaker 6: It's not just you.
- 19:41Speaker 15: So he's like an action here at walking away from
- 19:43Speaker 15: an explosion that he just helped cause, yeah and saying
- 19:46Speaker 15: into the camera, google me, yeah he is.
- 19:49Speaker 6: You're right.
- 19:49Speaker 4: I love the jokes on Doc Rivers. I understand all
- 19:54Speaker 4: the hate that he receives. I just remember every time
- 19:58Speaker 4: I went to talk to Doc Rivers, the guy would
- 20:00Speaker 4: give me great answers and it didn't even matter what
- 20:03Speaker 4: the subject was. Like I could be talking to him
- 20:05Speaker 4: on a Tuesday when he's playing against the Houston Rockets
- 20:08Speaker 4: and I'm asking him a Tyler hero question a team
- 20:11Speaker 4: that he's not even playing. He'll give me a five
- 20:13Speaker 4: minute answer, well thought out, and I'm just like, you
- 20:15Speaker 4: know what, I like that guy.
- 20:16Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't.
- 20:17Speaker 4: I can't continue to poop on it.
- 20:18Speaker 6: At least your opinions are not biased or anything.
- 20:20Speaker 10: Jeez, can I ask you, guys a Doc Rivers question?
- 20:24Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 20:24Speaker 10: Has his voice always been like that?
- 20:26Speaker 4: Yes, it's been pretty bad for a long time. I
- 20:28Speaker 4: can't remember what a younger Doc Rivers said.
- 20:32Speaker 6: I mean, I didn't hear him speak as a child,
- 20:33Speaker 6: so I don't know.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Guys. Can I jump in here real quick? I actually
- 20:38Speaker 3: heard of saw a video of Doc Rivers from the
- 20:40Speaker 3: nineties when he was like a commentator. His voice is
- 20:43Speaker 3: a lot less scratchy. I think the years of years
- 20:46Speaker 3: of coaching he did actually at one point have a
- 20:49Speaker 3: voice that was clear and not scratchy. So if you
- 20:51Speaker 3: look up some Doc Rivers from the nineties, you'll hear
- 20:53Speaker 3: his original voice.
- 20:54Speaker 4: Okay, all right, do I have to look that up? Yeah?
- 20:56Speaker 4: I'm not gonna do that, but thank you.
- 20:58Speaker 6: I can track you for the option.
- 21:00Speaker 4: I can find it.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Ten minutes later. I don't think this thing will be found.
- 21:06Speaker 4: No dice out spoiler alert.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Now he'll tell us Dan right in the middle of
- 21:10Speaker 1: Damon Stodamait I got it, Taylor, You're out?
- 21:18Speaker 10: Is it just me? Or should our softball team not
- 21:21Speaker 10: have a bye every other week?
- 21:23Speaker 6: A second bye?
- 21:24Speaker 4: What a team? What a league?
- 21:26Speaker 6: This is?
- 21:26Speaker 4: I love it? Actually?
- 21:28Speaker 1: Well, first off, tell the audience how many weeks you
- 21:30Speaker 1: guys have been participating in this h in the softball league.
- 21:33Speaker 4: So we started off, we signed up. There's five people
- 21:37Speaker 4: that know each other in this league. It's me, Taylor, Anthony,
- 21:40Speaker 4: a couple other people. And week one we had a bye.
- 21:43Speaker 4: Sweet off to week two. Yes, Week two, they played.
- 21:47Speaker 4: I did not play. I had one at bat because
- 21:49Speaker 4: I showed up late, and I think we only played
- 21:50Speaker 4: what three innings?
- 21:52Speaker 10: Lost nineteen three?
- 21:52Speaker 4: Yeah, mercy rule after fifteen minutes.
- 21:55Speaker 6: I love that. That's a quick night.
- 21:57Speaker 4: Week three unfortunately a rain owt or like a dry
- 22:00Speaker 4: rain out because it didn't actually rain. You were celebrating, right,
- 22:03Speaker 4: Oh man, what a night. And then last week, I
- 22:06Speaker 4: believe it was last week. I just didn't show up.
- 22:08Speaker 4: I wasn't feeling great and they showed up. They still lost, but.
- 22:13Speaker 10: Months closer, we lost by five. So this is technically
- 22:16Speaker 10: week five. So for those people keeping track at home.
- 22:19Speaker 10: We've played two games and we've had two bye weeks.
- 22:22Speaker 4: But it was a regular how many INNINGX is a
- 22:24Speaker 4: regular game.
- 22:26Speaker 10: So it's timed. Okay, when they get to five minutes left,
- 22:30Speaker 10: they say, okay, finish this inning.
- 22:31Speaker 4: Okay, that's we I.
- 22:32Speaker 6: Don't like that.
- 22:33Speaker 4: So yeah, so we needed another break, So another bye
- 22:35Speaker 4: this week's.
- 22:36Speaker 10: Dude, impossible for our team to get into rhythm though?
- 22:39Speaker 6: Well yes, with all the boys right, and is he.
- 22:41Speaker 10: Not showing up and just generally beating bad weather delays?
- 22:44Speaker 6: All of it?
- 22:45Speaker 4: Mean I heard our catcher is terrible.
- 22:47Speaker 6: I'm surprised.
- 22:47Speaker 10: You have to wait, my god, our cat are I
- 22:50Speaker 10: hope our catcher's not listening to this? And if he is,
- 22:53Speaker 10: shut shut your app right now. Our catcher is an aarp.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Okay, So Taylor, when when is he shows up? You
- 22:59Speaker 1: lose by sixteen and the night ends early. When he
- 23:03Speaker 1: doesn't show up, you'll lose by five.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:06Speaker 10: Yeah, but it was an easy fault. Why we why
- 23:09Speaker 10: we like? He had one at bat and he didn't
- 23:10Speaker 10: play in the field. Yes, you know he struck out
- 23:12Speaker 10: in he.
- 23:13Speaker 6: Doesn't want to be there.
- 23:15Speaker 4: Now, if you're asking for trends with me, and Taylor
- 23:17Speaker 4: as teammates. He didn't show up for our double header
- 23:20Speaker 4: and flag football this past Saturday, and we won both games.
- 23:23Speaker 4: So whenever Taylor and I are on the field together,
- 23:25Speaker 4: we don't win anything. Let me tell you there, apart,
- 23:27Speaker 4: you do way better.
- 23:28Speaker 6: So you wouldn't care if the softball team won without you.
- 23:31Speaker 4: Oh no, okay, great, I would encourage it, right, The more,
- 23:33Speaker 4: the more the better.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Yes, But Taylor, I am telling you right now, he
- 23:39Speaker 1: takes sports seriously, and I am telling you there's been
- 23:42Speaker 1: a sleepless night or two over the fact that your
- 23:45Speaker 1: team flag football team won two games without him.
- 23:48Speaker 10: Yes, Stu, you would love this from our softball game
- 23:51Speaker 10: the past one that we lost. We cut it to three.
- 23:55Speaker 10: We're down three, we're getting up in the in the lineup.
- 23:59Speaker 10: And I call this part of our lineup Murderers Row,
- 24:01Speaker 10: and not because they were great at hitting, but because
- 24:04Speaker 10: they were probably alive when Murderer's Row was playing in
- 24:06Speaker 10: the nineteen twenties and they all struck out looking they
- 24:10Speaker 10: went down, they went down one, two, three.
- 24:12Speaker 6: They should be ashamed of themselves.
- 24:14Speaker 4: I'll take one of their spots back.
- 24:17Speaker 10: One of them was walking off the field and he's
- 24:19Speaker 10: our pitcher too. He's actually a pretty good pitcher. But
- 24:22Speaker 10: he's walking off the field and he looks at the
- 24:24Speaker 10: picture and he goes, pitch great pitcher, and one guy
- 24:26Speaker 10: on our team, who just had enough at this point,
- 24:28Speaker 10: goes swing the bat.
- 24:30Speaker 6: Next time, it's not the picture, it's you not swinging.
- 24:36Speaker 4: Dan. You think I should let that one go where
- 24:37Speaker 4: he said pitch great pitcher instead of pitcher great pitch.
- 24:42Speaker 4: I didn't. I didn't let it go.
- 24:43Speaker 1: You don't have to answer the question by asking him
- 24:47Speaker 1: by extension you did not let it go?
- 24:49Speaker 3: Is he never lets things go?
- 24:50Speaker 6: No, at all?
- 24:51Speaker 3: He doesn't.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Yeah, he holds on from Yes, let's go to update anchor.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Dan here, Dan, you're up?
- 24:59Speaker 13: Yeah quick, I know before I get to the Is
- 25:01Speaker 13: it just me? Doc Rivers nineteen ninety one.
- 25:04Speaker 4: Oh, it's been a tough year.
- 25:06Speaker 8: It's been a good year.
- 25:07Speaker 4: The vague.
- 25:07Speaker 1: I mean, there's been points in the season where I
- 25:10Speaker 1: thought it didn't matter.
- 25:11Speaker 6: Who we played, we would be and it was no
- 25:12Speaker 6: doubt about.
- 25:13Speaker 8: It their court or our core.
- 25:14Speaker 10: Then there's been points where I thought anybody who wanted
- 25:17Speaker 10: to beat us could beat us.
- 25:18Speaker 6: I don't know why that happened. But if we get
- 25:21Speaker 6: into playoffs, there.
- 25:22Speaker 4: Is that's a different human being.
- 25:23Speaker 13: That is Doc Rivers nineteen ninety one. You can kind
- 25:26Speaker 13: of still hear the Doc Rivers today.
- 25:29Speaker 6: Who knows that was it? You was it?
- 25:31Speaker 3: I also know it's totally yeah, thirty seconds. Actually we
- 25:35Speaker 3: got it. Dan pulled it before. Hold on, Dan pulled
- 25:38Speaker 3: it before I had to send to the editors. Be
- 25:40Speaker 3: rolled in. Dan beat me to it, and that's exact
- 25:43Speaker 3: same clip.
- 25:44Speaker 13: Yeah, just Doc Rivers nineteen ninety interviews.
- 25:46Speaker 6: That's little.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Then it popped up. First thing, Thanks Dan, we get
- 25:49Speaker 3: in my thunder, Yeah, thank you.
- 25:51Speaker 1: I was filling mine right, But Dan, we got a
- 25:54Speaker 1: text and he said it would be ready in two minutes.
- 25:57Speaker 6: You played it in.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Fifteen seconds seconds after he sent us that text.
- 26:02Speaker 3: I gotta go through the propper channels here, guys, he's
- 26:04Speaker 3: got to send it through Cedar falls and then a pigeon.
- 26:10Speaker 3: All right? Is it just me?
- 26:11Speaker 13: Or is bunker cam completely worthless? And it dawned on
- 26:15Speaker 13: me Sunday when Rory was on the eighteenth hole and
- 26:19Speaker 13: he was hitting his shot from the bunker and CBS
- 26:21Speaker 13: has been grilled for their coverage. We grilled them on Monday.
- 26:24Speaker 13: For all of the things that went wrong, the one
- 26:27Speaker 13: thing that we need to know on Rory's third shot
- 26:30Speaker 13: from the bunker is where it lands. So I assume
- 26:34Speaker 13: that those guys in the truck were like, this is amazing,
- 26:37Speaker 13: he's in the bunker. Let's go to bunker cam, and
- 26:39Speaker 13: it gives us no information on what we really need
- 26:43Speaker 13: in this instance or any other instance, when someone is
- 26:46Speaker 13: in the bunker. Even when it stays in the bunker,
- 26:49Speaker 13: you're not even focused on the ball. It's somewhere off
- 26:52Speaker 13: to the left and sand is flying in your face.
- 26:55Speaker 13: So to me, bunker cam completely useless in broadcat golf.
- 27:01Speaker 4: Nobody has ever been more upset about a camera in
- 27:03Speaker 4: They're Live yeah than Dan Byer.
- 27:05Speaker 13: It's about bunkering the opposite of pilon cam. Like pilon
- 27:08Speaker 13: cam is amazing. I love pylon cam. Totally useful. This
- 27:13Speaker 13: not so much.
- 27:14Speaker 6: Right, sand caam you could do with that though, right.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Yeah, bunker came will waste of time. By the way,
- 27:21Speaker 1: I always Sam, I hope you have the sound here.
- 27:22Speaker 1: I'm Jim Nantz. He was on the Pat McAfee show.
- 27:25Speaker 1: We did make fun of the coverage yesterday. Why is
- 27:28Speaker 1: it Jim Nantz here one second, he tells me he's
- 27:31Speaker 1: working on doc rivers from the nineteen nineties sound that
- 27:35Speaker 1: we already played. If you get it, let me know
- 27:37Speaker 1: if you need dance.
- 27:39Speaker 16: It's we all make mistakes.
- 27:42Speaker 4: I'm really proud of our crew.
- 27:44Speaker 16: You're making, as you said, so many decisions, you split
- 27:48Speaker 16: second decisions.
- 27:50Speaker 8: The things that.
- 27:50Speaker 16: Were shown produced by our crew, hundreds of people involved
- 27:55Speaker 16: over the course of four days, some thirty hours of television.
- 27:58Speaker 16: You know, I can't speak to the difficulty and some
- 28:01Speaker 16: of the decision making, some of the other things that
- 28:03Speaker 16: people are responsible for. I just know that our crew
- 28:07Speaker 16: is the best in the business.
- 28:10Speaker 8: Classic Nance.
- 28:11Speaker 4: I would watch a streaming channel of Dan Bayer and
- 28:14Speaker 4: Iowa say I'm just hanging out. It's just the camera
- 28:17Speaker 4: following them everywhere.
- 28:19Speaker 3: He keeps up ving me here.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he keeps stealing my thunder right, I'll do
- 28:25Speaker 1: your job better.
- 28:25Speaker 4: I'm trying as fasts I can.
- 28:27Speaker 8: Dan.
- 28:28Speaker 6: I mean I watched I.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Don't want Sam's job. Yeah, no, thanks, I was Sam.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Do you have a is it just me or no?
- 28:38Speaker 3: I don't y.
- 28:39Speaker 6: That was my contribution. Keeps coming. I mean after that,
- 28:42Speaker 6: you want Dan to do it.
- 28:44Speaker 3: For you sure he's got a second one?
- 28:47Speaker 6: Absolutely?
- 28:47Speaker 8: What?
- 28:48Speaker 4: This is what having a teenage son feels like they're
- 28:50Speaker 4: disappointed in because that's kind of it's washing over me
- 28:53Speaker 4: right now. I get it.
- 28:54Speaker 6: Yet I love them.
- 28:56Speaker 3: Two pieces of audio that I was going to give
- 28:57Speaker 3: you the Dan beat me tooted, absolutely miserable, Thank you Dan?
- 29:04Speaker 6: Ep Jason? Does he have one today?
- 29:06Speaker 10: Guys?
- 29:07Speaker 17: Is it just me?
- 29:08Speaker 16: Or?
- 29:08Speaker 17: Is drafting the girlfriend of your star player a dicey proposition?
- 29:14Speaker 8: Now?
- 29:14Speaker 3: Hear me out?
- 29:16Speaker 17: A team sports is a delicate ecosystem, it is, and
- 29:22Speaker 17: to disrupt that ecosystem in any way, shape or form
- 29:26Speaker 17: is dicey dangerous. And to put a ton of money
- 29:29Speaker 17: and resources into this if there is a breakup, if
- 29:33Speaker 17: there is something that breaks that delicate ecosystem, the Dallas
- 29:38Speaker 17: Wings are going to be worse off because of it.
- 29:41Speaker 10: Is it just me or what?
- 29:42Speaker 4: Guys? As somebody who has dated a teammates currently dating
- 29:48Speaker 4: a teammate, it is a dicey situation.
- 29:51Speaker 6: Who would have thought this is your wheelhouse? Man?
- 29:54Speaker 4: Yes, I will say in that scenario, I mean they
- 29:58Speaker 4: they could date after the draft, right that they didn't.
- 30:00Speaker 4: They could always just meet as teammates and then ended
- 30:02Speaker 4: up having a relationship there, So I don't really think
- 30:04Speaker 4: of that. Not drafting somebody because they're dating your star
- 30:07Speaker 4: player is the reason not to draft that person. I
- 30:10Speaker 4: think it's crazy interesting, Like I think you're I mean,
- 30:13Speaker 4: you talk about like the heated rivalry stuff with that
- 30:16Speaker 4: getting so much attention. That was a fictional story based
- 30:19Speaker 4: on the number one and number two overall draft picks
- 30:22Speaker 4: in the NHL. This is back to back number one
- 30:24Speaker 4: picks in the WNBA and they're already on the same team.
- 30:28Speaker 8: Like that?
- 30:29Speaker 4: Is that talk about reality shows?
- 30:31Speaker 6: I would watch, Yes, but your situation is a little
- 30:33Speaker 6: bit different. You're the coach. No I play, I mean,
- 30:36Speaker 6: but you are the coach.
- 30:37Speaker 4: He's kind of the offensive captain as a quarterback, and
- 30:40Speaker 4: so we kind of butt heads into the way as well.
- 30:41Speaker 4: There's a conflict of interest, right, so many conflicts, so
- 30:45Speaker 4: many conflicts everywhere. I have the brain of a quarterback.
- 30:49Speaker 4: He has the ability of a quarterback.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Right, But are you coming down on Anthony as hard
- 30:53Speaker 1: as you would on somebody else.
- 30:54Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying?
- 30:55Speaker 4: No, no, Right, there's things I say to him I
- 30:58Speaker 4: wouldn't say to other people, crazy, because it should be
- 31:01Speaker 4: the opposite.
- 31:02Speaker 3: I think it's fascinating.
- 31:03Speaker 13: I think it's so fascinating for a draft process as well,
- 31:08Speaker 13: when you're trying to when your career as a GM
- 31:11Speaker 13: would be on the line, like it's on the line
- 31:13Speaker 13: of their relationships, right, your career if it doesn't work
- 31:17Speaker 13: out as as he said, you have two number one
- 31:19Speaker 13: overall picks back to back, and now you maybe have
- 31:23Speaker 13: to make a decision.
- 31:24Speaker 4: But here's how I know it's not going to be
- 31:26Speaker 4: a problem with them just projecting forward. They have been
- 31:29Speaker 4: so slick about their relationship to begin with. It's not
- 31:31Speaker 4: like they've announced this, right. This has been a sort
- 31:34Speaker 4: of quiet thing that's been going on since college, and
- 31:36Speaker 4: so I think they know they're you know, grown women
- 31:40Speaker 4: know how to handle their situation. That's the way they
- 31:42Speaker 4: come across. That's the way Page has always come across.
- 31:44Speaker 4: I don't really know fun that well, but that's the
- 31:46Speaker 4: way Page has always come across. So not worried about
- 31:48Speaker 4: it at all. If anything, it would be something that
- 31:50Speaker 4: draws more eyes to my team. And if I'm worried
- 31:53Speaker 4: about a breakup ruining my team chemistry, I'm probably you know,
- 31:56Speaker 4: thinking too far ahead.
- 31:58Speaker 3: And guys, they kind of have excuse they kind of
- 32:01Speaker 3: had to draft her. I mean, it's not like she
- 32:02Speaker 3: was just some fringe second round pick.
- 32:04Speaker 4: She was gonna be Yeah, you're so ready.
- 32:07Speaker 10: What happened there?
- 32:07Speaker 3: That's not a little fun in my throat.
- 32:09Speaker 6: Dan has never looked more disappointed.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Oh, I was just gonna say they, I mean she
- 32:13Speaker 3: was she would have gone number one. Whoever was gonna
- 32:15Speaker 3: draft like they had to take. I don't know about that, but.
- 32:18Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean what about right?
- 32:21Speaker 1: And just to be clear, you don't have a just
- 32:23Speaker 1: me or right? I mean I just want to piggyback
- 32:25Speaker 1: on your guys. You have everything else, some of it late.
- 32:28Speaker 4: But I mean I also don't want to say that
- 32:30Speaker 4: she wasn't like a consensus number one pick. That was
- 32:32Speaker 4: like two or three players that were considered potential number
- 32:35Speaker 4: one PI.
- 32:35Speaker 6: This is what I'm.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Saying, and one and a lot of and a lot Yeah.
- 32:40Speaker 8: I.
- 32:42Speaker 6: Stop talking where No, not you, Dan. I didn't say
- 32:45Speaker 6: that to you. Dan.
- 32:45Speaker 1: I apologize. I thought it was Iowa was saying, keep talking, Dan,
- 32:48Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 32:49Speaker 13: I was just gonna say we saw our number one.
- 32:52Speaker 13: Because Dallas was picking number one in terms of a
- 32:55Speaker 13: prospect ranking. She may not have been number one, and
- 32:59Speaker 13: then some thanks she wasn't, but in mock drafts she
- 33:03Speaker 13: was because likely because it was in need for Dallas,
- 33:07Speaker 13: but also that relationship.
- 33:08Speaker 1: And what I'm telling you is in a weird world
- 33:11Speaker 1: where is he is an NFL GM and Anthony is
- 33:13Speaker 1: eligible for the NFL draft and no one else has
- 33:17Speaker 1: him grated and he's not going to be drafted at all?
- 33:20Speaker 1: Is he has the number one overall pick and he's
- 33:21Speaker 1: selecting Anthony I mean because he's got to deal with
- 33:24Speaker 1: them at home.
- 33:25Speaker 4: I mean, all right, let me wrap up this game.
- 33:26Speaker 4: All right, it's my turn? Is it just me? Or
- 33:29Speaker 4: she would just exclude Iowa Sam from all these games
- 33:31Speaker 4: going forward, not just you.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
- 33:37Speaker 2: Live Weekday. Said three pm Eastern, twelve pm Pacific.
- 33:43Speaker 1: I want to play some sound for Israel Goudyeirez from
- 33:46Speaker 1: one Stephen A. Smith, the greatest of all time, the
- 33:48Speaker 1: greatest to ever do this. You're debating that.
- 33:53Speaker 4: Really it should be debated, right, every goat debate should
- 33:56Speaker 4: have especially with Steven A.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Wait, you guys don't view him as the goat of
- 34:03Speaker 1: sports media.
- 34:06Speaker 4: I mean all the time is a long time. Howard
- 34:08Speaker 4: Cosell is up there.
- 34:09Speaker 10: So I've viewed Stephen A. Smith as the goat of
- 34:12Speaker 10: sports media. But steven A. Smith himself would respect the
- 34:15Speaker 10: fact that we're even having this debate.
- 34:19Speaker 6: You're right, I'm sorry, but steven A. Smith, for me,
- 34:23Speaker 6: is the greatest to ever do this.
- 34:25Speaker 1: I am the commissioner of sports radio and he is
- 34:28Speaker 1: on my all time sports media team.
- 34:30Speaker 8: How about that.
- 34:31Speaker 1: But I want to play some sound and get the
- 34:32Speaker 1: reaction from one Israel good he eras because we have
- 34:35Speaker 1: spoken you.
- 34:36Speaker 8: And I is he about Kawhi Leonard.
- 34:37Speaker 1: What a polarizing figure he is, and last night Steph
- 34:41Speaker 1: Curry bounced him out of the playoffs.
- 34:43Speaker 6: Here is Steven A.
- 34:44Speaker 8: Smith talking about Kawhi Leonard.
- 34:46Speaker 4: He's supposed to be the face of the franchise.
- 34:48Speaker 18: The last five years, the Clippers have missed the playoffs,
- 34:51Speaker 18: got bounced in the first round the next three years,
- 34:54Speaker 18: and now they've missed.
- 34:55Speaker 8: The playoffs again.
- 34:56Speaker 18: So as far as I'm concerned, if you're talking about
- 34:58Speaker 18: how to view his season individually, in terms of his
- 35:01Speaker 18: numbers averaging nearly twenty eight and six on the season,
- 35:05Speaker 18: of course, those numbers are very, very impressive, But in
- 35:08Speaker 18: the same breath, the investment that has been made in
- 35:10Speaker 18: him over the years has not reached fruition. His ability
- 35:14Speaker 18: to carry a team to something that isn't true because
- 35:18Speaker 18: he's gone home in the first round or they've missed
- 35:20Speaker 18: the playoffs the last five damn years, and it's solidified
- 35:24Speaker 18: the fact that he is not the person that you
- 35:26Speaker 18: would want as the leader of your franchise. His individual
- 35:29Speaker 18: skills are what they are, but in terms of galvanizing
- 35:32Speaker 18: the troops, in terms of carrying a franchise and all
- 35:36Speaker 18: the responsibilities that come with it, that's not him.
- 35:40Speaker 4: Really, Who is doing it in Toronto? Who was that
- 35:46Speaker 4: who've gallanized troops in Toronto and led them and won
- 35:49Speaker 4: a championship with them over the arguably greatest team of
- 35:52Speaker 4: all time, although it was injured Warriors, Like that's one
- 35:57Speaker 4: of the most ridiculous takes I've ever heard. Look at
- 36:00Speaker 4: the last few years. If you just come onto a
- 36:03Speaker 4: microphone and say, I don't think Kawhi Leonard should be
- 36:06Speaker 4: the leader of your franchise because he's always hurt, I'm
- 36:10Speaker 4: good with that. You can there's nothing I can say
- 36:13Speaker 4: about that. He played two playoff games in twenty three.
- 36:15Speaker 4: He played two playoff games in twenty four, Okay, so
- 36:18Speaker 4: it wasn't like he was there for all of that
- 36:20Speaker 4: first round even And so yeah, we have multiple examples
- 36:25Speaker 4: of if Kawhi Leonard was the leader of your team,
- 36:27Speaker 4: that he can win you a championship. Frankly, he probably
- 36:30Speaker 4: should have three if not for one big ray Allen shot.
- 36:33Speaker 4: So I just feel like Kawhi Leonard is misunderstood because
- 36:37Speaker 4: he likes his privacy, likes to be quiet, and when
- 36:40Speaker 4: it comes to a no nonsense basketball player, listen, he
- 36:45Speaker 4: leads the league and no nonsense, Like, there is absolutely
- 36:48Speaker 4: zero nonsense in that dude. Okay, So that's the type
- 36:52Speaker 4: of player you want. Like if Kawhi Leonard was on
- 36:55Speaker 4: the Miami Heat and you're gonna tell me he's gonna
- 36:58Speaker 4: stay healthy. What a perfect extension of the coach on
- 37:02Speaker 4: the floor. And that guy even if you make him,
- 37:04Speaker 4: you tell him to run, he's probably not gonna run.
- 37:06Speaker 4: But still he is a perfect extension of the coach
- 37:09Speaker 4: out there. And I just don't buy it. It's just
- 37:12Speaker 4: recency biases. What that is?
- 37:14Speaker 8: Taylor put it on the poll. Please, does Kawhi Leonard
- 37:16Speaker 8: lead the league in no nonsense.
- 37:20Speaker 4: Not a single ounce of nonsense.
- 37:21Speaker 1: A buddy, now, and I understand what you're saying. I
- 37:24Speaker 1: also understand kind of what Steven A.
- 37:26Speaker 8: Smith is saying.
- 37:27Speaker 1: He's not consistent enough in terms of playing where you
- 37:30Speaker 1: want him to lead your franchise, in terms of just
- 37:32Speaker 1: being available. But and I think that's part of the
- 37:35Speaker 1: frustration with Kawhi Leonard is he we all see the
- 37:38Speaker 1: greatness every single time he takes the court.
- 37:41Speaker 8: We could see just.
- 37:42Speaker 1: How great that guy is as a basketball player and
- 37:45Speaker 1: a competitor. By the way, and he has won two
- 37:48Speaker 1: NBA titles, But I think there is a feeling amongst
- 37:50Speaker 1: NBA fans that if that guy were simply available, if
- 37:54Speaker 1: he treated his career slightly differently than he has, that's
- 37:58Speaker 1: a guy that should have four or five be a championships.
- 38:01Speaker 8: Is that fair?
- 38:02Speaker 4: Well, when you say treated his career the way that
- 38:05Speaker 4: he has, what do you mean by that?
- 38:06Speaker 1: Just you know, all the games off, not being ready
- 38:09Speaker 1: for certain moments, just stuff like that, whatever happened after
- 38:12Speaker 1: he won the first title in San Antonio.
- 38:14Speaker 4: But that's all just it's actual injury issues that he's
- 38:18Speaker 4: dealing with. He's not just sitting out because maybe he'll
- 38:21Speaker 4: get hurt. He has, He's had a knee condition that
- 38:23Speaker 4: he's had to navigate his entire career. That's why it
- 38:26Speaker 4: was so confusing when he was leaving the Spurs and
- 38:29Speaker 4: nobody could figure out exactly what the issue was. So
- 38:33Speaker 4: you know, there are people, lesser players who might have
- 38:35Speaker 4: retired with that type of h you know, knee situation,
- 38:39Speaker 4: that have enough money that you know they never have
- 38:41Speaker 4: to worry about money again. Instead, he found a way
- 38:44Speaker 4: to win another championship, found a way to build get
- 38:46Speaker 4: himself on a Clippers team that might actually be legitimate.
- 38:49Speaker 4: So I don't think him missing time is a knock
- 38:52Speaker 4: on him on how he approaches his career. That is
- 38:54Speaker 4: strictly injury management.
- 38:56Speaker 1: So Kawhi Leonner, for you, is a guy that you
- 38:58Speaker 1: would want to lead your basketball team, is what you're saying.
- 39:01Speaker 4: But only if I knew he could actually be healthy.
- 39:03Speaker 4: So I don't think many people even predicted he would
- 39:06Speaker 4: stay healthy this year. And you saw when he was
- 39:09Speaker 4: healthy how good these Clippers were, And so I think
- 39:11Speaker 4: that's the problem. I think that's where the uncertainty comes,
- 39:14Speaker 4: even with James Harden. When James Harden's asking out. It's
- 39:16Speaker 4: not necessarily because he doesn't believe that Kawhi Leonard and
- 39:20Speaker 4: he can lead a team. It's because you might not
- 39:22Speaker 4: believe Kawhi Leonard is going to be around, and especially
- 39:24Speaker 4: when you think of, you know, the potential and obviously
- 39:27Speaker 4: didn't happen this year, But any sort of punishment he
- 39:29Speaker 4: gets from the Aspiration deal and potentially you know, circumventing
- 39:32Speaker 4: the salary cap, all that stuff was in people's minds too.
- 39:35Speaker 4: But if you tell me next year, hey, if you
- 39:37Speaker 4: tell Kawhi, hey, you felt pretty good this year, you
- 39:40Speaker 4: think you can keep that up for whatever it is
- 39:42Speaker 4: seventy of eighty two next year in the playoffs, absolutely,
- 39:45Speaker 4: I'm taking that guy to lead my team.
- 39:47Speaker 10: Stuart the Clippers. With the Clippers missing the playoffs thanks
- 39:51Speaker 10: to the Paul George trade, Oklahoma City now has a
- 39:54Speaker 10: pick in this year's lottery. They currently have a seven
- 39:58Speaker 10: point one percent chance to move up in the top four.
- 40:01Speaker 10: Is he when you're when when you're looking at this trade,
- 40:04Speaker 10: I'm first off shocked that this trade is still still
- 40:10Speaker 10: seeing the effects of it.
- 40:13Speaker 8: Benefits for Oklahoma City.
- 40:14Speaker 10: Yes, right, when you when you factor in just that
- 40:19Speaker 10: a one for one trade of SGA for Paul George
- 40:22Speaker 10: would have been a win for OKC. Then you add
- 40:25Speaker 10: in the fact that one of the picks they got
- 40:27Speaker 10: back turned into Jalen Williams. Now they have an additional
- 40:30Speaker 10: lottery pick coming up. Could you make the argument this
- 40:32Speaker 10: is one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history.
- 40:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was. It's already probably the most.
- 40:39Speaker 4: You know, there are trades where somebody clearly overpaid, like
- 40:44Speaker 4: Michael Bridges and all the first rounders for the Knicks,
- 40:47Speaker 4: but that's, you know, out of desperation. That's like a
- 40:50Speaker 4: finishing piece, if you will, for a team for a
- 40:53Speaker 4: trade like this to be two franchise type players, or
- 40:57Speaker 4: at least one. At the time, you didn't even know
- 40:59Speaker 4: what Shaye was gonna be. So when Shay turns out
- 41:02Speaker 4: to be a better player than Paul George, it's already lopsided,
- 41:08Speaker 4: right because they obviously had to give up so much
- 41:10Speaker 4: more to get them, so you throw in all those
- 41:12Speaker 4: it's just it seems like the trade that never ends.
- 41:15Speaker 4: It's like you mentioned Taylor.
- 41:17Speaker 10: So there's a seven point one percent chance for OKAC
- 41:20Speaker 10: to move up into the lottery or to move up
- 41:23Speaker 10: into the top four in the lottery. Stu, there's a
- 41:25Speaker 10: scenario where the Thunder are the NBA champs for back
- 41:30Speaker 10: to back years and then the lottery plays out, and
- 41:34Speaker 10: who do they add to their team? Aj Debontsa Yeah,
- 41:38Speaker 10: Darren Peterson, maybe Caleb Wilson from North Carolina, Cam Boozer
- 41:43Speaker 10: from from Duke. There's a chance that this Thunder team
- 41:47Speaker 10: is on the vert Well, it's we're already there, that.
- 41:49Speaker 8: This is already there.
- 41:50Speaker 10: Yes, we're in the middle, on the verge of a dynasty.
- 41:53Speaker 10: They might just get more reinforcements added to said Dinasay.
- 41:56Speaker 4: And it's not even necessarily just reinforcements, right, it's replacements
- 42:01Speaker 4: for when the other guys get expensive. Hey, chet Holdergan,
- 42:03Speaker 4: what have you done for me? You know, to pay
- 42:05Speaker 4: you max super max money. Okay, we're gonna stick with
- 42:09Speaker 4: cam Boozer maybe, you know. I think it just it
- 42:12Speaker 4: gives them so many options to remain good and you're
- 42:14Speaker 4: not in salary cap hell, because you know, they planned
- 42:17Speaker 4: ahead and got a little lucky with SGA.
- 42:20Speaker 1: Hopefully they use that pick on someone who plays the
- 42:22Speaker 1: game in an exciting fashion because they lead the league
- 42:25Speaker 1: in zzz plus. I mean, how about that got someone
- 42:28Speaker 1: who could dunk?
- 42:28Speaker 4: How's that said?
- 42:29Speaker 8: By the way, the last time.
- 42:30Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard played seventy plus games is he twenty and sixty?
- 42:36Speaker 4: I didn't think it was in the NBA.
- 42:37Speaker 6: I get to go wow.
- 42:38Speaker 1: I mean, but I think that's what steven A. Steven
- 42:40Speaker 1: as absolutely factoring that in that part of it. In
- 42:43Speaker 1: you don't want him leading your team because he's never
- 42:45Speaker 1: going to play seventy games unlike SGA.
- 42:48Speaker 4: Right, Listen, Toronto chose one year to man have that
- 42:52Speaker 4: guy leading Team's got the ultimate prize. So name name
- 42:57Speaker 4: me another guy who did that on a one year
- 42:59Speaker 4: loan when and gave an entire country a championship? Like,
- 43:03Speaker 4: come on, like, we get what's happened lately. We've always
- 43:06Speaker 4: known that his knee would be a problem, but it
- 43:09Speaker 4: was supposed to be a problem that year in Toronto.
- 43:11Speaker 4: They managed it. They you know, only had him play
- 43:14Speaker 4: a certain number of games whatever, sixty games that year
- 43:17Speaker 4: won a championship.
- 43:18Speaker 1: So yes, I mean he did win the Raptors a championship.
- 43:21Speaker 1: They kept going to the playoffs with Kyle Lowry who
- 43:24Speaker 1: you know, I think Teres Max he told us was retiring,
- 43:27Speaker 1: but they kept getting there with DeRozan and Lowry and
- 43:30Speaker 1: Lowry and DeRozan and DeRozan and Lowry, and they kept
- 43:34Speaker 1: getting bounced out in the second round, and then incomes
- 43:36Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard boom NBA title.
- 43:39Speaker 10: If I was Kawhi Leonard, I'd be a little less
- 43:41Speaker 10: worried about that knee and more worried about Pablo Torre
- 43:44Speaker 10: sniffing around.
- 43:47Speaker 4: It's crazy how nothing has come of that. Like there,
- 43:50Speaker 4: it feels like this is just one of those things
- 43:52Speaker 4: where they're just gonna let Kawhi's career end and it's
- 43:54Speaker 4: like we never got to the bottom of it.
- 43:56Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, put it on the pole, Taylor, what's
- 43:59Speaker 1: your Kawhi leonder be more worried about his knee or
- 44:02Speaker 1: Pablo Torre? And I can answer the question. I love that,
- 44:06Speaker 1: I love Pablo, and I say this respectfully, but no
- 44:09Speaker 1: one cares.
- 44:13Speaker 8: Stu.
- 44:13Speaker 10: They asked him about that yesterday after they lost. Yeah,
- 44:17Speaker 10: the headline says, Kawhi mom on Clipper's future. Also, he's
- 44:22Speaker 10: not stressing the NBA's aspiration probe.
- 44:26Speaker 8: He's always mom and he's never stressing.
- 44:28Speaker 4: I mean, now I've got Pablo Torre and like some corduroys,
- 44:33Speaker 4: a white T shirt with like a little sweater over it,
- 44:36Speaker 4: just going to the floor, smacking the hardwood and just
- 44:39Speaker 4: standing right in front of Kawai Leonard and see what happens.
- 44:42Speaker 1: I'm just saying, is he I have too many things
- 44:44Speaker 1: in my life to worry about that that how Kawhi
- 44:47Speaker 1: gets his money, where he's getting it from is not
- 44:49Speaker 1: one of them. I mean, I like fans lit, they
- 44:51Speaker 1: got enough stress in their own life. They don't care
- 44:54Speaker 1: about that stuff. Just give me a game, give me, Kawhi,
- 44:56Speaker 1: give me a big game. Let me turn it on
- 44:58Speaker 1: and entertain me. That's all I'm saying.
- 44:59Speaker 6: All Right, I know who cares.
- 45:00Speaker 4: I'll tell you who cares the old school players who
- 45:04Speaker 4: are already mad that the new school players get all
- 45:06Speaker 4: this money to begin with, and now they get secret
- 45:09Speaker 4: money and we're supposed to be okay with it. Where
- 45:11Speaker 4: was that secret money when I was playing in the eighties.
- 45:13Speaker 4: Dang it.
- 45:17Speaker 8: Sean Merriman is going. I'm looking forward to this.
- 45:19Speaker 1: Sean Merriman was a menace when he played in the NFL,
- 45:24Speaker 1: an amazing athlete.
- 45:26Speaker 8: I'm really looking forward to this. Tailor you had something.
- 45:28Speaker 10: Yeah, we have a caller actually, who wants to talk
- 45:30Speaker 10: Kawhi Leonard?
- 45:31Speaker 1: Oh really wow? No one calling in on Draymond or Jordan?
- 45:35Speaker 1: Who's the better defender?
- 45:36Speaker 6: Huh?
- 45:36Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox? That is eight
- 45:39Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We'll take a call here.
- 45:41Speaker 1: Let's go to Mark in Miami. Mark, go ahead, you're
- 45:44Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio.
- 45:46Speaker 19: What's up, Fellows? Yeah, as far as the pole question
- 45:49Speaker 19: is Jordan's by a landslide, it's not even close. Draymond's great, lee,
- 45:53Speaker 19: but he's not on He's not nowhere near an mj
- 45:56Speaker 19: was the best elite Parimer defender, and I don't think
- 45:59Speaker 19: there's a close on that. As far as Kawhi goes, Guys,
- 46:02Speaker 19: I've never everybody talks about the Luca trade being the
- 46:05Speaker 19: worst trade. To me, this is my father worst trade.
- 46:08Speaker 19: When you look up all the assets the Clippers gave
- 46:10Speaker 19: up in that trade, you basically gave up an MVP
- 46:13Speaker 19: of the league. You set up a dynasty there in
- 46:15Speaker 19: Oklahoma City. The Clippers are still irrelevant, even though they
- 46:19Speaker 19: got the richest owner in all the sports and Bomber,
- 46:20Speaker 19: they probably got the nicest arena in all the sports
- 46:23Speaker 19: and they still don't move the needle. There's a red
- 46:26Speaker 19: head of steps out in their own city. And as
- 46:28Speaker 19: greate as Kwahi is, he's the most odd superstar I
- 46:31Speaker 19: think maybe in the history of sports. He doesn't talk,
- 46:33Speaker 19: he's mute, he has no brands. He's just an all
- 46:37Speaker 19: around great player. But nobody knows anything about him. The
- 46:39Speaker 19: only thing we know he has a bizarre laugh and
- 46:42Speaker 19: he has a new balance deel that we discovered because
- 46:44Speaker 19: he's in that commercial. But at least for the MAVs,
- 46:47Speaker 19: you could say they got Cooper Flagg, who to me
- 46:49Speaker 19: is gonna be a generational talent. So when you look
- 46:52Speaker 19: at all those factors, guys, to me, the Clippers making
- 46:54Speaker 19: that trade and now they have no assets left and
- 46:57Speaker 19: they're pretty much gonna reboot, and probably why he's gonna
- 47:01Speaker 19: he's gonna bolt. And so I'm just hoping that's a
- 47:03Speaker 19: heath hand because I know Miami's desperate. We haven't landed
- 47:06Speaker 19: a whale. I think they're gonna make a play for Kawhi.
- 47:08Speaker 19: I really hope they don't ask you, Mark, this is
- 47:11Speaker 19: an anomaly. This is this year has been anomaly. He's
- 47:14Speaker 19: not gonna stay healthy. He's gonna play probably about thirty
- 47:16Speaker 19: games next year, and then Heat will be dumb enough
- 47:18Speaker 19: to the real aim in and give him on a
- 47:20Speaker 19: big max deal to take him. So they better not
- 47:22Speaker 19: do it, guys, because I'm healing rumblings they're gonna be
- 47:24Speaker 19: that desperate to really go after him because of the
- 47:27Speaker 19: playing team that we become year after years. So I'm
- 47:30Speaker 19: just saying for Heat Nason, please don't do it, because
- 47:32Speaker 19: I have a bad feeling guys that they're gonna be
- 47:35Speaker 19: so desperate they're gonna bite and take it. So thanks
- 47:37Speaker 19: for the time, fellas.
- 47:37Speaker 8: Get that man break Yeah, great, call rack them.
- 47:41Speaker 6: I mean to Mark show.
- 47:44Speaker 4: Mark in Miami. That's what we call back.
- 47:46Speaker 10: Yes, yes, Mark, I'm gonna give him find me on
- 47:50Speaker 10: social media. I'm gonna give you the hotline number so
- 47:52Speaker 10: you could just buzz in whenever you want.
- 47:54Speaker 8: The hot You don't give anyone the hotline number. What
- 47:56Speaker 8: a You're gonna give it the Mark.
- 47:58Speaker 10: Mark and Miami just earned it.
- 48:00Speaker 4: He did make me, He did make me think about
- 48:03Speaker 4: a timeline where that trade doesn't happen and it's just Kawhi,
- 48:06Speaker 4: Leonard and Sga on the Clippers and we all have
- 48:08Speaker 4: to be serious about the Clippers.
- 48:10Speaker 8: Yeah, how about does Jordan take though?
- 48:12Speaker 6: Huh?
- 48:12Speaker 4: It was wrong?
- 48:14Speaker 8: What I mean?
- 48:16Speaker 1: He was a defensive Player of the Year, ninth first
- 48:19Speaker 1: team All NBA Defense.
- 48:21Speaker 4: Okay, we'll see yeah, Sean, he was a great perimeter defender,
- 48:26Speaker 4: as a man said, so we'll see Draymond he one
- 48:28Speaker 4: through five.
- 48:29Speaker 8: He didn't say that he was great. He said he
- 48:31Speaker 8: was the greatest of all time. That's what he said.
- 48:33Speaker 4: He said market He said it was the greatest perimeter defender.
- 48:35Speaker 4: And I was like, Okay, Raymond does more?
- 48:37Speaker 8: Do you know the hotline number?
- 48:41Speaker 3: I did that I don't get right.
- 48:44Speaker 8: That's why Taylor didn't give it to you. He gave
- 48:45Speaker 8: it to Mark.
- 48:46Speaker 4: Okay, I mean you and Mark and Miami are going
- 48:49Speaker 4: to have a podcast.
