• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Well, we try to keep it real here on the network,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: all right, So I don't think I'm we're let off
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: with a women's basketball coach, but I have good reason
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: for doing at this time. The title of the show,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: by the ways, yu can women's basketball coach, strong words
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: on amateurs if you wonder who that person is, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a gino Ori Emma on the transfer portal, he says,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: how how about we teach kids how to make a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: commitment and stick to it? My goodness, you know what, Joe,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: what do you think about I'm talking about today's kids
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: sticking to a commitment?
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: You know, Gino makes an excellent point. The transfer portal.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: It's a joke. I mean, I get if your coach
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: leaves and you want to leave, I'm all for it.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: If there's a family emergency, I'm all for it. Otherwise,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: you pick a school, you stay in the school, play
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: it till you leave. You know, there shouldn't be well.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: You know, you go to Yukon this year, we go
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: to Tennessee next year. That I'm to go to you know, USC,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: I'm going to tour the country play in four different
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: schools in four different years because I choose to. That's
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: that's ridiculous. And it's all because of the nil and
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: you know, the the culture which there's no consequences anymore.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Do what you want. Everybody's a winner. Is a trophy
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: for you, Scott, you know you got the best the
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: best sports talk show in the eight o'clock time zone
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: of the South Florida area, whatever your zip code is,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: whatever the addresses, you get that trophy. You're number one.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: You know you're not competing against anybody else. Automatically, you
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: get a participation trophy. It's it's horrible. It's the culture.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: It needs to stop.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question. What do you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: think about the way the millennials are handling the word
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: commitment these days. I'm not trying to pick on that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: on their generation.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: There is no commitment exactly, there's no it's pathetic. Nobody
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: has work ethic. Work ethic is out the window, you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: and it goes to all facets of life. It goes
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: to things we don't want to talk about, and you
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: can see plenty of it on X to things we're
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: talking about here in sports. It's at all facets. There's
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: no commitment to anything. There's no ethics, there's no commitment,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: and it's pathetic, you know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And that's why I let off with Gino Orima. If
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: there isn't a more credible individual on the planet in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Gino Oriama, who's been dealing with youngsters a long time,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there is another one. I really don't.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just how I feel in my mind.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: This guy here to me, Okay, it's just one of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: those guys's one championships. We you can compare them to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: John Wooden obviously of you know, woman's basketball. He can
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: be compared to anything, but you know what's faice and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he's been telling what students for a long long time.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Joshua Bersey's question for JVL as how old as that had?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Only Joshua could go ahead and ask a question like
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that there at the theater. All right, answer it thought,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it's third super Bowl? About me?
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: It's fourth?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough? Okay, George, you know the question.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Serie response Coach Geno, Yeah, I agree, there's so much.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: The fans aren't loyal like they used to be, the
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: players aren't loyal like they used to be. I mean,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: you know, come on, and yes, the younger generation, of course,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: is what's in it for me now? It's the now,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: it's the me generation and all that. I mean even
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: on the job market, I mean we see that happening.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: You know, the kids go into one job and they
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: last a year, maybe two, and then they move on
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: to something else. I'm not trying to say everything is bad,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: but I'm glad coach you know, picked up on this
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: because that is a very very important topic to discuss,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: and I agree. I don't like the things about the
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: moving around the transfer portal, like you said, JB. I mean,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: these kids are going from one to the other and
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: to the other and to the other, you know, three
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: four schools. They're not That's not what that thing should
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: have been set up for. And I don't think the
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: original concept of it was that anyways. But the fact
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: that is is things got to get better. They got
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: to get better, not only in men's college sports and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: women as well.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: This is funny, Candy. I love this, Joshua Bersey, Candy,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I am ready for a station and break. Look at
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: this guy. He wants to just hear your voice. They
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: don't worry, Joshua. But I like the way he spelled it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Certainly not spelled. Is that the Mexican version Joshua did
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: spell check not work early? Right, Cetatio, you're exactly what
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: language that comes from. But that's okay. And of course
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a for blows doesn't stand like the one for a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in Canada. Okay, station, there you go, Joshua, he just
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: picked it up. Just kiddy with your pal. It's a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it's a very nice, little friendly ballbuster. What you guys
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: are up to familiar with? We are all coming over
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: from Ralph opinion. All right, that's we'll leave it to that,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: all right, Katie. Some talks about coach Oriama.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: We have talked about how NIL has changed collegiate sports completely.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: They're now coaches are now more expected to win like
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the NFL, because you got to re recruit all of
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: your player. It's almost harder because now you've got to
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: re recruit all of your players. It's not like you're
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: setting them for a contract for years. You're going to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: try and re recruit every year to keep them. To
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: see besides recruiting outside and the youngsters, and you're recruiting
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: all levels, whether it be their first year, second year, thirdy,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: or fourth year. It's become so hard. Like George said,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: they're now saying the average number of careers, not jobs,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: careers people will have is between five and seven. They're
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: saying now that they I think they're about thirty percent
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: of the workforce changes jobs every twelve months. Every twelve months.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, I you think about these lifers that in
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: these industries, Like someone goes to work for one of
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the car manufacturers, you know up in Detroit. They work
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: for you know, General Motors or something like that. Normally
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you hear these people working for long periods of time.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: That has gone out the window. I mean, I can
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: tell you I've been in my career job in my
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: industry for over thirty three years. Scott, you've been in
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: media for over forty plus years, because you talk about it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: We talk about it in your book that you wrote. Right,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: those are going by the wayside, and my question is
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: gonna be is what is society gonna look like ten
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: twenty thirty years down the road where you don't have
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: experience in your job, You've only worked in it for
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: twelve months and you're gonna change jobs. Who's gonna have experience,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: who's gonna get keep building on things? They're like, we said,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: there's no commitment. My question. I mean they I remember
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: years ago, even marriages they said fifty percent of them
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and in divorce, like, the commitment is not there. People
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: don't know how to commit, They don't know how to
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: respect people. The morals of this country have gone out
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the window. And I hate to say that, but and
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I see it more and more with the younger generation.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: The saying please, the saying thank you, all of that
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: for small gestures. They don't do it. It's a me,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: me me society and it scares me. It really does.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: I interjectoral quick, I'm sorry, go ahead, speaking of you
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: know the fact that this came from Gino Oriema, who's
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: the women's uton coach. I covered the men's basketball Big
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: East Tournament last year, and coach Hurley, you know, during
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: multiple press conferences, was worried about people tried to poach
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: people from his team. So I just find it odd
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: that both Yukon coaches, both men and women. You know,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know that. I don't think the women won
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: the championship last year. I know the men did obviously,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: but you know, both are really good programs, and both
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: head coaches have brought up the fact of losing people
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: to the transfer portal and having you know, players poached.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: It's kind of scary when you think that, you know,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: this is one of the top programs in the country
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: and they're worried about this.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Danny, and Danny Hurley stayed there. He could have
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: had a better job elsewhere, but he, yeah, turned down
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the Lakers job. If I understand correctly, I'll say that,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: do you know Oriama is unquestionally in a class by himself.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: You know what I'll say this, I think actually the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: transfer portation should be limited to one transfer in that set,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: maybe a second if is a conditional clause, but that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: way too much. You know what, say what you want
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: about gino Oriama. I think the greatest woman's basketball of
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a time is past summer period. I'll leave it at that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, We're gonna stay in college basketball. Kentucky wins
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a thriller despite huge game from Cooper Flag kids only
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: seventeen years of age at twenty six point twelve rebounds,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and the Wildcat seventy seven to seventy two win over Duke.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: This is Kentucky's first win Overduke in nine years. Flag
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: is the first ACC, is the first ACC player with
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: fifty points twenty five rebounds, and Tennis's through his first
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: three career games in the last twenty five years. As
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: for Mark Pope of Kentucky, well he's able to go
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: ahead and get that win. So the main thing is
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: is that Mark Pope was a great hire by the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Kentucky Wildcats. Well, let's talk about Cooper's Let's talk about
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: mister Flag here. Okay, this kid is a player, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: who knows how long he'll be in But I'll tell
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you what a great first few games Candy.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: You know he did and he did it with like
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: what a minute fourteen seconds left? He I mean it
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: was a really close game down the pike. He ruined
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: a twenty six point night by turning it over twice
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: in the final minute to hand the victory to the Wildcats.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: This was just a really close game. Good win for
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Kentucky to take down number six on Champions Classic on
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night. You know, I haven't. I haven't, I'll be
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: honest with you. I've been following more football than basketball yet.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: But good for them. It was a huge win for Pope.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: And he's a former Kentucky player who returned to his
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: alma mater after the departure of longtime coach John Caliperry.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, George, Yeah, I mean this kid is he's got
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of good skills. I'm telling you, six nine
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: two five. He's a freshman. Cooper Flag, that's a name
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: to remember. Yeah, that was a good game. And you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: you got two powerhouses like that, my goodness, Kentucky and
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Duke going at it. You know, they they just they're
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: like a college basketball machine. Schools like that, and they
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: turn these kids out, as we know, one after the
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: other head to the NBA. But boil boy, this kid's
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: got a lot of moxie. He really does he's averaging
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: in three games. I see nineteen points a game. This
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: is going to be another great, great story. Uh and
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: and again you know, we'll see how long he stays
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: and and in the in the NCAA before being tempted
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: to jump into the pros. But Cooper Flag, Yeah, I
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: like that name. That's a good name. He looks like
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: a good kid, and I wish him well. And obviously
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Duke's got a good guy. They're a good guard.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Well, what I like about Cooper Flag and Duke is
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: at least, you know, Duke doesn't preach the one and done.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Not not to say guys don't leave early, but you know,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: when you go to Duke, you're really getting a great
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: education there. You really, really really are sure dating I'm
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Mike Krzewski, So you know, obviously players will leave early
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: depending on what their value is. But still, you know,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I feel better going to Duke that they're going to
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: develop more experienced players than I would anywhere else. Joe,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about Cooper Flag and the fact
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that vanresm Mark Polpe was a good tire in Kentucky
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: even though that candy alluded to John Keller Perry Bolton.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: George Real Quick, George Closure. Here is a second. The
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Championship Classic they should have had Yukon. It got rid
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: of Michigan State this year. There was no reason how
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Michigan State love Tabezzo, but the champions Classic have the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: champion you cut, you know, But that's besides the point.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Michigan State's a little bit behind the curve of the
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: four teams that were there, but they played hard as
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: far as Cooper Flag, kid's got a lot of talent.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: That Duke team, they're gonna make a run. They're at
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: least a Sweet sixteen team there. You know, it happens
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: you play a really good team. You can't win every
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: time when you play a good team, and Mark Pope
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: and Kentucky, that's a win that they wouldn't have gone
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: at the Calipari. I guarantee you that.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I think Hope's going to be doing a great job there.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: You know, I think I don't know if Flag's gonna
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: stay very long at Duke. I think he should. I mean,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: if you're going to go to a school to stay at,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: like you said, Scott, I'm gonna stay at Duke at
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: least two three years and work towards my education because
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Duke's a phenomenal school. You're not going to miss out
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: much play, missing going pro one or two years. If
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: you're that good, you're only going to increase what your
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: stock is. But great, great job by Kentucky pulling that
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: victory out in the last couple of minutes.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: And you know, if you're gonna have a Champions Classic,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: get the champions in there. We need you, coun You
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: know Saint John's right twenty second big with over Wagner tonight. Well,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: we'll get to that later, I hope.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Well I'll give you a parting shot so you can't
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: get to it fair enough. Okay, Well, let me just
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: tell you this. Have you ever been to Cameron Indoor Arena.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: We've never seen a game there, but we had a
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: chance to go there too because the unbelievable play. Have
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you ever been to Rupp Arena. I did go there
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: with covering Florida Atlanta University. It went my good friend
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Mike Jarvis's coaching there. Two great places if you've ever
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: been to, those facilities are absolutely on the leave the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: bo Okay, well we'll stay in the New York City area.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Cooper Flagg is definitely a person we're going
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to see. But I like the eyes of him staying
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a duke a little bit longer than I would other
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: players going elsewhere, because everybody knows the transfer portal is
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: making a name for itself for all the wrong reasons,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. So with that said, you know, let's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: go on to a little bit of hockey. Okay, but
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about wins in the New York City area.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I think Joshua Bernstay's gonna like this one a little bit.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Winnipeg Jets actually have two in that area, okay, and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: then New York Jets have too. Now here's an interesting
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: stat as a tie football along with hockey. Who would
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: have thought I've detired these two sports together, But I'm
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: gonna find a way to do it anyway. Let's talk
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: about the Winnipeg Jets setting all kinds of records for
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: fifteen game stars or whatever. They are fourteen and one,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: their offenses ranked first, their defense is ranked first, and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: their chance of getting in the playoffs are ninety nine
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: point eight percent. On the other hand, the New York
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Jets less Zach Wilson. Okay, well, maybe he wasn't so
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: bad after all. And with Aaron Rodgers, who are bad
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: after all, are three and seven, their offense is twenty six,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: their defense is tenth, and the tents of making the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: playoffs are nine percent. Now Here in the hockey world
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the word the number nine is Gordy Hall. But nobody
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: wants to deal with the nine number nine when you're
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: dealing with, Okay, the situation with the Jets, So all right,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Joe proceed.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: You know, I was actually looking at the Winnipeg schedule
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: and their start, and their schedule is kind of crazy.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: They have a bunch of road games. They've right now
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: were in the middle of a three game road trip.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: They get one game at home, and then they go
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: back on the road for like six in a row.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: So I'm curious to see where they end up after
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: the next ten games, because that's gonna be very interesting
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: to see. As far as the Jets the bottom of
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: the AFC from you know, six and seven or maybe
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: seven for the wild card, it's out there, you know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: the New York Jets. If Aaron Rodgers could actually figure
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: out what to do with the offense and somebody could
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: figure out what to do with the defense, I don't
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: know if it's a sod Reddick, Sauce Gardner, you know,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: the Archbishop of New York City. Somebody can figure out
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: how to play defense for the Jets. Maybe they could
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: win a couple of games. They have all the talent
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: of the world. It's not a talent issue, you know,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: if you want to say it's a coaching issue. They
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: changed the head coach, so you're stuck with it inter him.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, both things are up in the air.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Like I said, Winnipeg, we got to see the next
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: ten games. They got a bunch of road games. But
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: they're a fun team to watch for the New York Jets.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: If they could figure it out, they could be dangerous.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Well, when Robert Sala went out that door and he
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: ended up going to Green Bay to lend his expertise
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: over to the Packers, boy, that really was bad stuff
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: for the New York Jets. Okay, George, go ahead.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Well, Winnipeg is Winnipeg's they're flying right now. They're off
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: the flying start the Jets, and you know it started
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: the first game of the year. They had to go
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: into Edmonton with the defending Western Conference champion Oilers and
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: they came away. People might forget this, but they came
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: away with a shutout, six to nothing. They shut out
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: the Oilers. The Winnipeg Jets. They were a really good
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: team last year. They are even showing more of it
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: this year. Here's another one. They come into Detroit, they
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: win six to two. Where do they go next, Columbus?
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: They win that one six to two. I mean, they
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: are scoring a lot of goals, a lot of firepower
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: on that Winnipeg team, and Kyle Connor with eleven goals
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: so far, and you know he leads the way. But
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, this is definitely a team to watch,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: the Jets, the Winnipeg Jets. As far as the New
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: York Jets go, I'm not as optimistic as JB as
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: I think this is. This is a just a disaster
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: of a season. With what's going on there with Aaron
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Rodgers and his team, It's gonna be very very difficult
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: for them to rally and to try to make a
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: run for the playoffs. Yeah, I mean, yeah, they might
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: have talent, but boy, they just can't put it all together.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: And I wasn't a big fan of them firing their
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: head coach either, so I wish them the best of luck,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: but it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough for
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: the New York Jets. The other Jets.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, go ahead, finish your thought.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: No, I was just gonna say the other Jets in Winnipeg,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: they got a great chance, these Jets, the New Yorkers,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think do That's all?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Well? Last we had a recent episode that these jets
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: are flying high on Fire of Florida. So I was
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: referring to the Winnipeg Jets. So it's got an interesting
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: response there on Fire of Florida. And I'm joined on
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that show by Rod Peterson. All Right, can't you had
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the last word on this Jets situation because I know
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you have a little bit of you have some thoughts
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers, as you usually do. I don't know
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: if they're familiar as much with the Winnipeg Jets, who,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: By the way, before you say anything, I wish that
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: they would get their original logos back from the original WHA.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Now that the Phoenix or Arizona Coyotes our history, maybe
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: one of these days the NHL will be able to
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: come to their sensus to bring that whole Jets franchise
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and keep it where it needs to go once and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: thrown out at the Coyotes, which were a dumpster fire
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: from the beginning, or long done, go ahead, that would
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: be nice. Yeah.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Nicola Eilers from the Winnipeg Jets went back to the
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: end of last season when he was asked about why
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the Winnipeg Jets have been historically good at the start
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: of this season. The end of last year was a
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: big wake up call, he said. With the season that
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: we had to then lose in the playoffs like we
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: did was frustrating. I think we all knew we needed
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: to change some things, and it wasn't players. It was
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: our mentality, the way we go to work every single
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: day that has changed and that has made off. To
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Eyler's point, Winnipeg last season ended last season with one
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: hundred and ten points, second in the Central Division behind
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Stars one hundred and thirteen and fourth in
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the NFL. However, they were wiped out of the Stanley
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Cup playoffs in five games, losing four in a row
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: to the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference first round.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: After winning game one. You forget that we were fourth
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: in the league overall. In the regular season. I think
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: our commitment to consistency and showing up and grabbing the
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: guy next to you and making sure they have their
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: best tonight is just at another level this year. So
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: they've up their game because they want. They know what
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: they did last year wasn't enough, so they rallied as
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: a team and are doing better now. We can talk
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: all we want all day long about the New York Jets.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: It ain't changing the darn thing. Oh let's get grabbed
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: this player and let's grab that player. You know. I'll
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: admit they have had some injuries, but every team is
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: facing that, and the good teams find ways to win.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Let's face it, the Lions didn't play their best game
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. They found a way to win the Kansas
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: City Chiefs. You can't tell me that was their best game,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: and yet at the end of the game they found
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: a way to win. The New York Jets, they're not
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: finding any ways to win because they're not playing as
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: a team. They're not You look at what's what's different
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: in Detroit and what's different in Kansas City. They have
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: good coaches that all their players like and rally around. Obviously,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: firing a head coach mid season, not everybody is rallying
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: around that coach. And now is it the coaches problem
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: or is it some of the players problems. I would
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: beg to say that there's a lot of in the NFL.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I would think it's a tough job. It's a win
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: now job. So you have to win right now and
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: you have to get along with everybody. And in the NFL,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: you sign a player for so many years and or
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: you trade for him and you get him for so
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: many years. So now you've got to gel all of
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: these high contracts, all of these players and try and gel.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: And if they're not players that, how should I say?
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: This?
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Aren't selfish? It's different. You know, a Jared Goff is
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: not selfish. Tom Brady was not selfish. He knew that
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: even though he wanted to be the highest paid he wanted,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, let's face it, everybody wants to be the
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: highest paid, but he knew in order to get better
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: players supporting cast around him, he needed to take less
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: so that there was some more money for some others.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Some people in this league are not doing that and
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: they're not going to find the success. So it depends
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: to it depends If Aaron Rodgers just wants a lot
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: of money and make his contract and not win more
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Super Bowls, then he's fine. But if you want to
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: win the championship, you've got to surround yourself with a
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: good cast.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll go back to the stats again. If case
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: you're just joining us number one and were compare in
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: contrasts to two jets. Okay, we're not talking seven, forty
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: or seven. We're talking different kinds of jets here. Okay,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Winnipeg once again, fourteen to one. Their offenses ranked first,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: or defenses first or playoffs ninety nine point eight percent. Gosh,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: New York Jets three and seven offense twenty six, defense
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: tenth not playoffs nine percent. Oh my goodness, that's unbelievable.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, you know what, we are going to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: go to a station and break candy. Take it from there.
• 25:57

• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Well little at Little Caesar's Arena. Boy, I think about
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the pizza they've had there, he said a while. You know,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it's good pizza. By the way, I should say, there
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: was a movie called Back to the Past. Did you
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: ever heard of it? Probably not. Everybody talks about Back
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: to the Teacher, by the way. Glad to have William
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Crawfa in here. Somebody new and just stuff. And anyways,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: here's the thing, Back to the Past of the movie.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: And you know who started guy by the name of
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Eric Bolstraw, who pulled a Chris Webber in Detroit with
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Jalen Rose watching, called a timeout he didn't have Detroit,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the feed of the Miami Heat won twenty three to
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: one twenty one. My goodness, indy Ndya Cup, don't get
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: me started with that. Oh I swear, if I'm gonna
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: give Joel parting shot, I might now I may as
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: well have mine. In fact, we're going to incorporate parting
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: shots at the end. And I have someone want to
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: get out of my chest. Sol Ls be prepared to
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: have yours and Dandy and George you can think of
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: a couple on the fly. But anyways, let's talk about
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Eric Bolstraw calling the timeout that he didn't have. He
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: owned the mistake. Of course, He's a title to make
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: a mistake once in a while. Last championship in his pocket.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts, Joe about Eric Bolstra pulling
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the Chris Weber routine in front of Jalen Rules with
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the timeout that he didn't have.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: It happens. We all make mistakes. It's just a very
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: poor one to make, especially by the head coach. It's
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: one thing for a player who's in the heat of
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: the moment. Actually on the court. You're the coach at
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: your job to know the situation aboutter what because that's
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: what you do a coach. A player's got to play
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: and you know, worry about where the bull is positioning,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: get all that. But it happens. I mean, that doesn't
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: mean Sposter's not a great coach.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Uh, you know, he just picked a bad time to
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: make a mistake. And you know, the NBA Cup great idea,
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: but I don't know. It just doesn't excite me. The
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: fact that these games count towards regular season games. If
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: they only counted towards the tournament, I'd be all for
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: it because then you'd have teams that may play differently.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: But the fact that it's a regular season game and
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: it counts towards the Cup, to me, it kind of
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: diminishes the whole the whole point of it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's go back to Weber. Okay, So you're
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: you're giving your exposure a mulligan on this one, then,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: aren't you.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's a mistake and it should never happen.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: But you know, I give Weber a bigger mulligan than
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: I do. The head coach, the head coach, Spolster, that's
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: what his only job is to no situations. Weber has
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: to make plays. So it's a different it's a lot.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: I could see it more from a player's perspective, having
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: done both, having coached and played, I could see where
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: a player would be more apt to make a boat.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Heeaded decision and calling the time that you don't have
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: where a coach, that's the only thing in the world
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: you're supposed to know is what play you're calling, and
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: you know what's the situation. Way she is, that's part
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: of the situation. But Spolster is a great coach. So
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: a mistake, you're allowed to make a mistake every once
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: in a while.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, All right, George, Were you at that
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: game last night?
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: No?
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I was not, but I sure wish I was. That
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: was a great exciting game. In fact, that the first
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Pistons win of any NBA Cup That has only been
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: around two years now. But still she was a phantom
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: time out, Just a phantom time out, and uh yeah,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: I can still remember that when it happened to Michigan
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: and our friend Chris Weber. But I didn't expect it
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: from a veteran like Eric Spoltzra. But I see what
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: JB Is saying. You know, everybody's entitled to a mistake.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: But I think that in the big scheme of things,
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: it's not going to really matter much. I mean, I'm
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: not a big fan either of this tournament, but the
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: fact that Detroit was able to win a game, a
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: close game like that and overtime meant a lot to
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: I know, the Piston's faithful, but yeah, I was a
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: bone head called by the head coach. And you're right,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: he should know about that. He's got other guys there,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, there's three or four, five, six assistants
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: next to him. You know, they should know the situation,
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: what it's gonna happen, and if you had a time
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: out left or not. But yeah, it was a big mistake.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I'm sure Eric liked to live that one over again.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, amazingly enough, I'm watching Eric read, you know,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: from the Miami tellentcas and he was really yeah, he
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: couldn't believe what happened, all right, can't he go ahead?
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, the mistake was, Yes, he made a mistake, Eric Spoolstra,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: But let's be honest, it was overtime, and the mistake
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: was made before that play. The mistake was Miami did
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: not block out. They allowed the Pistons to score. They
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: had a two point lead with one point eight seconds
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: to go, and they let a clear game trying allioop
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: dunk to Jalen Durant after rushing. They rushed to remove
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: a six player from the floor, so they didn't know
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: what they were doing the play before. When you have
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: the game is on the line, you had, you had
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: the game won one point eight seconds. All you had
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: to do was defend the ball, and you didn't do it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: And so Detroit tied it, and then coach went to
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: take a timeout, which he didn't have. Yes, that was
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: his mistake, But the mistake was the play before that.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: In my opinion, as we were watching that, I'm like,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: how do you let a clear alleyoop dunk with one
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: point eight seconds to tie it? So then Detroit tied it.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Spolster kind of ran out on the in disbelief, ran out,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: called the timeout, realized that he didn't have the timeout
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: to call. He they were Destroit was awarded a technical
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: foul and that was the game. But really we think
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: about it, but there were how many other baskets that
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: weren't made before that point? You know so, And there's
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: eighty two games in the season. If Sposor costs you one,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there's way more coaches out there that are
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: going to cost other teams way more than that one game.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Let me say, I like Eric Spolstro, I really do.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I'm glad he's going to be the next US Olympic coach.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I really do. He's this guy here. To me, he's
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: one of the best coaches that I've ever seen, especially
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: in this eraon I don't know where he'll stack up
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: almost the all time great, but his his career, he's
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: had a great career thus far. The sky's a limit
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: and he has a championship in the pocket. Let's put
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: this comment up by William Kafa. He is still young.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: With respect, I agree it was a mistake. He's a
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: good coach. Back to there, William, hopefully. If you want
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: to see more of our shows, please subscribe to the
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: South Florida Tribute and YouTube channel. We'd love to have

  Speaker 1: take a great addition to the show tonight. We appreciate
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: your participation so, and I've known Eric Greed for a
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: long time. Ari'son one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, too.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: The guy has won numerous awards at the National Sorts
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Media Association, and for good reason. You know, I have
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: his number of I own the phone call pretty soon,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: so we'll be reached out. But you know, I'm not
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: going to beat up on Aris Folstore, no way. This
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: guy is a he learned from pat Riley, and he's
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: done an unbelievable job in the culture that the Miami.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: He have out of Miami. It's absolutely unbelievable. This is
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: a winning organization if I have ever seen one. They
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: really have. They retired numbers, they win championships, They have
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: great administration with Riley, Lonzo Mourning, Duwayne Wade. The list
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: goes on and on. You know, I've been a privilege
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: for me to go to the American Airlines Arena when
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: it was called that, to see the Pistons in the
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Miami Heat in some very important games. So I have
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: nothing but respect for that organization from top to bottom.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: All Right, Well, we'll stand on the NBA team for
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: just a moment, because I don't think it'll be that
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: long and then I have some pretty interesting topics coming
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: up near the end of the show. But only two
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: teams in the Eastern Conference of a winning record, the
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers welling out and then you have the Boss
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: in Celtics sign of two. Indiana is at five and
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: five at the five hundred mark. So Kenny, we'll start
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: off with you on this one. We're your thoughts about
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: the fact. I know it's hard for her to strike
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: first because she's the most unbelievable researcher. But this doesn't
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: take a lot of research. All you have are three records. Okay,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about the only two teams in the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Eastern Conference that are any good.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I would say are any good.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: I think there are teams that just haven't gelled yet,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: or there are some that have a lot of injuries
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I can tell you, like the Bucks. Chris Middleton is out,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Giannis has been injured, Damian Lillard has been not shooting
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: really well, and then he was out it with concussion protocol.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: So I think it just makes I mean, I think
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: it's surprising that they're not doing as well, especially the
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Eastern Conference at this point. But again, there's eighty two
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: games in the in the season, and I think you'll
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: there's they'll start to get it together. Sometimes teams just
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: start out slow. You know, they didn't play they didn't
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: gel together, they didn't play together a lot in preseason,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: whatever it might be. I think you'll find they'll start
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: rebounding pretty quickly.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Can you go over to George Korn Obviously the Cavaliers
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: made it changed the coaching position. JB. Vicker Staff and
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: war I think I got with Kenny Atkins sent Kenny
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Atkinson got a really good job there. So Torch, you know,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the Cavaliers and the class and the Boston Celtics so
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: far the class of the East.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: So talk about that, yeah, and and and you and
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: you're right. I mean then you got Orlando at seven
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: and six. So basically you got three teams in the East,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: but in the West you have ten. The teams, count them,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: ten of them that are over five hundred. The balance
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: of power certainly looks like it's in the West. But
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: I do I do air to the side of caution.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: And like Candy said, it's a long season. You just
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: can't guess that it's going to maintain this kind of imbalance.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: If you will. Between the East and the West. You know,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: the Knicks are only at five hundred, but in Detroit,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, they're only two below five hundred.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: I mean after the disastrous last season. But again it's
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: early now. I you know, the Bucks have to Bucks
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: have to get better than this. They're they're they're they're
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: too strong a team. So yeah, I think it's going
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: to be it's going to change, but it is very,
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: very interesting to see it so far this season. Cleveland
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: is just unbelievable.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: They're playing through their eyeballs right now, sort of like
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: the Winnipeg Jets we talked about earlier. Cavaliers my goodness,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: twelve and er right now. But it is a long
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: season and I do expect some teams to obviously shine
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: a little bit better in the East.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Joe, if I would have told you on November the
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: thirteenth that the Winnipeg Jets and the Cleveland Cavaliers would
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: have combined for one loss and it would be the
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Winnipeg Jets that had the loss, I think you would
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: think I was crazy. But they're both playing unbelievable. You know, Cleveland,
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: I don't even understand how they're twelve and zero the
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Knicks with the trade for Karl Anthony Towns. I mean
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: that totally changed their whole plan. So you know it's
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: going to take a little time for them to gel.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: Like George said, Detroit's got five wins already. That's impressive.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: They were horrible for how many years. They're almost at
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: five hundred. Just having five wins the middle of November.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: That that's you know, great for them. The Bucks will
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: get better. I mean they're just you know, they're dealing
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: with a lot of injuries. They have talent that you know,
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: the NBA half the team to make the playoffs, they
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: just got to get in. But it's over half now
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: with the player get playing stuff. So they just gotta
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: get healthy and do what they gotta do. But the
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: West overall is the better conference. They have better teams.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: It's been that way for a little bit. I mean
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: there's some good teams in the East, but generally you
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: always have about double the amount of teams that are
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: good in the West compared to the East. And looking
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: at the standings of the West, I mean, no shock Phoenix,
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma City and Golden State old mind to two. I'm
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: not shocked by that they're all, you know, the top
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: teams that we think about, you know, and when you
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: look in the East, Cleveland, twelve and Oho, it's like huh.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: And then you got Boston, which makes sense, and then
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: nobody else really doing anything. So it's really not surprising
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: the way everything's shaken out. I think when it's all
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: said and done, the Knicks will do be a really
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: good They'll they'll they'll fight for one of the top
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: three positions. I think, you know, Milwaukee will get back
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: into it. I'd love to see Detroit make our run
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: for the playoffs. That would be fun just to had
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: some new blood in there and you know, spacing around.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: But other than that, I mean, you know, it's interesting
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: just to see who's where.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: The Pistons have lost some close games too otherwise or
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: will get a little bit better than they have sot
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: for the Pistons. She means picker status is a can
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: hire and I also have Louke Waulton on that staff.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: We also have Ralph Williams. Pens and sports are in
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: the house. We're gonna be on the Morrow night, by
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: the way, on Candy's Country Club show, Fire Up. I
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: love calling you the country called the way she runs.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Great show if you haven't seen that show on Thursday
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: night at nine. But yeah, Waiting for Candy runs an unbelievable,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: laid back, relaxing atmosphere. I've never seen a person put
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: her stamp on and show the way. Candy is. A
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: multi talented woman comes on this show. She has a
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: country club show, she does a website. She's a jack
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: of all trade the man you ain't not buy a
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: tacket from Fire Up really seriously because she is really,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: really really and seriously seriously seriously good. Okay, But that said,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: I don't normally talk along these lines. We're at Joshua
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: door and be lows for this one because this is
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: one of the few topics that these guys might actually
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: get into under what I mean, exactly what I mean.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: When I saw this, I had to put it in
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: on the agenda today. Syracuse football coach Brian Brown get this.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Doesn't shower after losses? He says, I don't deserve so
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I guess he assumes losing states. So Joe, he doesn't
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: shower after losses. It doesn't you, So where are you
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: at Joshua? You picked the wrong find the ballot. I'll
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: give them because I'll give my pass. He's probably putting
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: his kid Asher to bed, but he'll probably catch it
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: on the review. Go ahead, Joe, that's just bad for business.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: You have to be around other people. Shower. It's good
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: for you. Wash the steak off so you can get better.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Or if you're not doing it for yourself, do it
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: for the other eighty ninety people in the locker room
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: and the reporters that have to talk to you.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I told you, Joe, then, when I was telling you,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: I had some original topics I did. I was being
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: a gun slinger, and and I go to a lot
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: of different ways to do it. You know, I don't
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: know to put these things up there, but this is
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: just intriguing. It's lighthearted, it really is. I mean, you know,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine, you know, I remember watching Syracuse
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: get stopped by USF forty five to nothing. I don't
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: remember who the coach was at that time. But if
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: you didn't have any soap there, my goodness, I can
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: understand that logic there. But really, seriously, I don't deserve soap, George.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Can you top j b ellisers come
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: back on this?
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: I can't top them. This is this crazy man, it's crazy. Yeah,
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: that's not sanitary either. He would stink bad probably nah,
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: not as bad as a player, but still the coach.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: It's it's kind of funny and amusing when you hear
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: something like that. But man, oh man, he's got to
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: make sure that he's got it, uh clean bill of
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: health and has to definitely.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Clean bill of health. What's that got to do with this?
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Come on, George, I understand, I know it has to
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: be a change, but we're clean of health? Has to
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: do with losses? Really seriously, of course, I Corne, I
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: don't know if this is stage over there he does
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: just to round me up, to get clearly, to get
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: all this business here. You know that's unbelievable.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Man. Well, well we'll see what happens to the orange
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: as the orange progressed this year. But they're what two
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: and all? Right now, it's it's it's it's a crazy story,
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: that's all I'll say.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: That's okay, Hi, Corn, You know I'd like to give
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: you a hard time, so I know, I don't. I don't,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: but when you see somebody where I don't deserve, so
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: it doesn't shower after losses. My goodness. I've seen people
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: going out there and taking losses, but this takes it
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: to a different extreme. Now, I'm not gonna sit here
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: and tell you that I haven't had super dishes habits
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: in my day because when I used to sell windows,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: I used to put garlic in my sock if I
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: ended up going ahead and sell it, and nobody was
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: looking to smell my tennis shoes in my garlic in
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: my sock. Okay, but this soap business is a little interesting,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: all right, Candy. I don't know if you can research
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: this one, but tell.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Me what ho there his quote, I don't deserve soap.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Now wait a minute, The rest of the people around
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: you don't deserve to smell you if you don't use
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: soap and shower. No, I mean if you think about
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: it like I would think if you had a superstition, like, oh,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: I gotta do the same thing because before every game,
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: because if I don't, if I lose, then I gotta
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: not Wait a minute, but you're not winning, you do
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: you don't do it when you lose Like that just
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to me. But my question is what
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: is his Is he married? And if he is, what
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: does his wife say about this.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, really, see I got her saying
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: really now it's a technice he forgot seriously by.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: The way, seriously, really really seriously, come on show right.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: My one last thing would be, as a coach, you're
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: supposed to be setting an example. What kind of example
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: are you setting if you're saying that when we lose,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: you don't deserve soap, so you're not gonna shower. So
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: what does that mean all of the rest of your
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: team that you're coaching is gonna start saying, oh, well,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: when we lose, we don't listen to you or do
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: this or do that Like that just sets the wrong example.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. As a head coach, you're supposed to be
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: setting a good example, and I don't think this is
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: a good example. There could be other things you could
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: say you don't deserve or you shouldn't do after loss.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: This is not one of them because this doesn't punish you,
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: This punishes everybody else around you.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, Okay, well, I'm gonna go to the New
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. It isn't quite as drastic as this, but
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: it is interesting. As we stay on the theme of
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: all these interesting, weird items that I'm seeing all over
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the web that make their way here onto the Sports Exchange.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints interim coach Darren Rizzy on how his
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Sunday began. Obviously, it's one thing to have butterflies, but
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: he says, I clogged the toilet. The Saints ended up
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: winning twenty to seventeen. All Right, Joe, this guy clogs
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: the toilet. But at least we don't have to worry
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: about the shower.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Butterflies in one thing, but clogging a toilet, Oh my god, goodness.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: I love the fact that his first postgame press conference,
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: this is what he said, you know, and he just
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: he showed you had life.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: He obviously hopes he gets a job full time. The
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: team responded, they won. Listen, it is pretty funny, you know,
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: and he he You know, sometimes when a coach says
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: something at a press conference, it's to set the tone.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: You know. Obviously the Saints won, but they're probably a
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: lot of tough questions that could have been asked because
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: they still they are still in a bad position. But
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: he changed the tone of the room by gut never
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: went to laugh and relax, so he totally diffused the
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: situation smarter than you think.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: All right, George, Well, yeah he did change the situation.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: And you know what, the Saints, you know, not anything
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: near a good season, of course we know that. And
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: the fact of the matter is is they did win
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: a game that most people didn't think they would win.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: They beat Atlanta twenty to seventeen. But yeah, I mean,
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: you know this is this is a guy that's obviously
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: trying to rescue that team and trying to make sure
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: they turned things around down in New Orleans. And he's
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: had a little bit of fun with it too. But yeah,
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: he's got he's got a big job there. But it
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: was an interesting thing that I heard about that Scott.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: That was pretty good. I'm glad you brought it up today.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this much, whether he gets a job
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: or not, I think the guy that will likely get
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: it if he's interviewed is Aaron Glenn on the Lions.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Because he came from the Saints to the Lions. He
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: would be the front runner in my opinion, to get
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: that job with the Saints. But you know what, I
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: will say this, Darren, Darren, you certainly I'm sure the
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: media loves you over in the big easy for coming
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: up with this a little bit of humor. Dennis Allen
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: didn't get the job done. You bring an interim guy.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: I remember when Wayne Fonk got the interim tag, how
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: we begged William Clayford to get the job and ended
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: up doing it. Had a pretty good run over Detroit.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: So hey, you know what, Darren, more powers of your
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: special teams coach, so coach John Bonnomego would certainly be
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: rooting for you as well, so I wish him well.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Anyway, what do you say about this? I mean, he
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: uses the head coaches locker room. In his first day
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: on the job, he equipped he thought it was a
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: sign he was going to have a crappy day. I mean,
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: but then look what they did. They won like they
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if everyone is superstitious or not,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: but hey, what he did and now they switched it
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: and they changed their rhetoric and they actually won and
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: they responded.
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: It was kind of funny because we were listening on
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: mon was it Monday and they were talking about this
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: on I think it was was a get up? Or
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: was it Scott was a get up? Or was it
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: the other show that we were watching they were talking
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: about one of the coaches says that he actually does.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: I think it was get up or because I think
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: they were talking and he said that he doesn't deserve
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: the head coach's locker room yet because he's only an
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: interim And then they were talking about how the head
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: coach's locker room is so old because this stadium has
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: been built, how long ago hasn't had upgrades. They haven't
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: done a lot to it. You know, whatever you want
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: to say, lighthearted, it's not something you would have ever
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: heard or thought you would have heard in the first
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: interim head coaches press conference. But yet look at how
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: we're all talking about it. We all laughed about it.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Lighten the mood. Maybe that maybe it lightened it the
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: mood for him, like the pressure was on, you know,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden. Now he's an interim head coach.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: He's trying to buy for the job. He whatever it takes. Hey,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: it worked, well.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: You go for one extremia. Know you got Fran Brown
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: all the way to Darren Rizzy and what do you have?
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Some pretty interesting conversations nonethe last okay blows You've missed
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: some pretty good stuff. Toward the end of the show,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: so I encourage you to definitely go ahead and watching
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: on the replay. William Carralfa, it's been great having you
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: on the show. We really enjoy it. We hope to
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: see you back at a later time. I don't know
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: if I'm a rocket scientist, but you know Blows is
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: going to have you back. I encourage you and the
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: rest of them to go ahead walk to look at
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: topics number five and six and those will be up
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: your alley. But don't bore me with a faith time
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: call over it. All right, Well, I have a finally,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I have a feel good story that we're gonna go
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: to a party shot for making really good on the time.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: But this is really a good one.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: shot seven weeks ago and on Sunday caught at first
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: touch NFL touchdown passed and a twenty three twenty went
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: over Tampa Bay on the road. What a great feel
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: good story. A guy that got shot and then he
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: finds his way to the end of Joe ellis.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: A listen. I mean, he's very lucky his life could
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: have did. I hope he's appreciative the fact that he's
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: still alive, and I hope he loves playing football and
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: good for him to get the touchdown. I hope he
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: has a great career. Thankfully he's still here to experience it,
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: because a lot of people don't get that opportunity. They
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: get shot and unfortunately they pass away. And just his
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: fortune that he's okay, good for him, George.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it is a quite a remarkable story. The
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: young man has obviously overcome the trauma of being shot,
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: and obviously all the rehab that had to go on
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: too after he was unfortunately shot. It's sad to see
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: in the sense of we know that there's violence in
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: many cities. Almost all cities have some form of violence
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: or crime. But boy o boy, when you see a
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: guy like this battle back and get himself back in
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: the game, conditioned, game shape and then be able to
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: return back to the roster, that was a very touching,
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: very touching scene, and I applaud him as well as
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: his training and medical staff that helped him through the way.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, William, you're very very welcome. Go ahead, Candy.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Anyone that is hurt due to violence such as that,
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: I applaud them for working that much harder to get
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: back from being injured and getting back to your craft
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: and doing well. I don't know what else to say.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, kudos to the to the medical staff that
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: treated him, Kudos to the training staff then that worked
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: with him to rehab him and get him back in
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: shape to be back playing, and kudos for him for
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: working that hard and that desire. You know, we just
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: talked earlier about how many people change careers and stuff
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: like that. Kudos to him for, you know, taking the
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: high road and working hard and getting back as quickly
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: as he did.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: When you're an executive producer sometimes you like to know
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: where to position certain top topics. And we start off
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: with Gino Orima, and then we end up with Ricky Pearsall.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good book and to describe what
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: we had tried to but we've accomplished here to sports
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: exchange you talk about because Gino Riama is really completely
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: right about it, and of course Ricky Pearsall to me,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just glad to see him back on the field,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers really do need him. They
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: have a lot of work to get back into playoff contention.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: They're just lucky that they happen to be in the
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: division which is closely contested. Yeah, we do have time
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: for party shots, So go ahead, Joe, let's lead off.
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: Well, it's good to see Saint John's rank and men's
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: college basketball. They were a perennial top three school at
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: one point in most Division one wins. Follow it all
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: the way back tonight behind schools that obviously are blue
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: bloods Kansas, Kentucky, and I forget who else is on
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: the list, but you know, really good schools.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: But it's good to.
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: See him ranked early in the year. Rick Potato's done
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: a great job bringing in some great talent there. The
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: big week coming up, they had they play his son
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: New Mexico on Saturday, then they got Baylor, who was ranked,
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: and then Georgia next Sunday. So the next three games
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: we'll really see how good they really are. Excited to see.
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: It's good to have big basketball back in the Big Apple.
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: Forget about the knicks and nets, we got sat jobs.
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: We don't need them.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: I know you did a trumendous job last year from
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: the Big East Tournament. Was looking for more of your
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: coverage later on this year. In the Big East Tournament,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: the only stadium that I really haven't been to and
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: like to get to it. So I've been to a
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: lot of stams, but I do have a desire to
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: get to Madison Square Garden at some point. Now, I
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: tell you what, I'm really intrigued about the possibility one
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: day of working with you over at the Big East Tournament,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: for sure, over at Madison Square Garden, Right, Georgie, go ahead.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: Well, obviously it's awards season now in Major League Baseball,
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: and hats off to three guys from the same division
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: up for Manager of the Year, and those being of
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: course AJ hints of Detroit and then Kansas City and
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Cleveland's manager. So I think it's a sign that you
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: talk about a little bit of a power shift. While
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: we all knew that the Yankees obviously had a fantastic year,
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: but the Central, the AL Central, has really become very,
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: very fiercetly competitive. It's good to see good managers being
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: nominated for these awards, and best of luck, I don't
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: think AJ is gonna win it, but it is quite
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: an interesting situation where you got three guys from the
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: same division up for AL Manager of the Year. Award,
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: as they say, made the best guy win.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Kami.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Kudos to the LPGA Pro Am here in Florida who
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: had Caitlin Clark come and play today. She brought her
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: golf game and a big buzz to the tour when
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: the basketball star played in the pro am, that attracted
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: a bigger crowd than the tournament often gets for its
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: tournament rounds. She played nine holes with Nelly Korda, the
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: number one player in women's golf, who is competing for
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: the first time in nearly two months after a minor
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: neck injury. During a brief interview, she was asked if
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: she's picked up any tips from Korda, and she's like,
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: I've watched her and she's amazing, but golf is hard.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: So kudos to taking a big name, a big in
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: a different sport in women's and putting her to attract
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: attention to another women's sports. It's great that they did that.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: It's great that they allowed the gallery packed behind the
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: ropes to watch Clark. She signed some autographs for hundreds
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: of fans when the pro am was over, so kudos
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: to the LPGA for having her, and kudos for her
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: for acknowledging the fans and signing autographs because that's only
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: gonna draw attention to not only the golf tournament, but
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: to women's basketball as well.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, my party shot is this. David Stern must be
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: turning over in his grave right now. Why because he
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: ABA Cup is back?
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Really, seriously, thanks at him silver for destroying the game
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: that I built. Hell load management, Oh I hate it,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: I really did. Darvin Ham was the head coach of
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: the LA Lakers last year and I was at the
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks. Maybe he can help them out. The LA
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Lakers at one NBA Cup and these Celtics don't have
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: any that's okay, that's and they have a banner to
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: show for it, my goodness. The only banner that matters
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: is the fact that the Celtics have more championship banners
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: than the Lakers do eighteen to seventeen. So give me
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: this NBA Cup. Really, the Lakers even have a banner
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: up there to celebrate this pathetic idea because we're too
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: busy worried about load management getting guys to play seventy
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: eight to eighty games a year. We really are, in
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: my opinion, is a joke. The NBA Cup to me,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: is a gimmick. Why don't you get back to playing
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: the right way and then your sport? To me, well,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: that will give me a reason to go out there
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: and watch it. It is a joke. Every time I
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: see the NBA Cup, I just gag and it gives
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: me every reason why. And I hate to say this
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: because I covered the NBA for a lot of years
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: and it was a great league to cover. George and
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: I worked together during the Bad Boys era. I wouldn't
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: trade anything in my lifetime for it. I really wouldn't.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: I probably have a piece of the alice floor in
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: my house. And I tell you one thing, every time
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: I look at back at it, I'm so proud of
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: the fact that George and I did a lot of things.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: But the NBA Cup, Okay, really, seriously, Darvin Ham, what's
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: a championship win? The midway part? What did he get?
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: And what did he get? Canned? JJ Reddick, good luck,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: go Boise, get rid of it. I hate it all right.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Tell me how you really feel, Scott, I don't know.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'm gonna let Candy take over.
• 1:01:32
