0:00
Speaker 1: Where there were some storms last evening. We lost a
0:04
Speaker 1: little power last night, did you. Oh no you did. Yeah,
0:07
Speaker 1: I lost for we were lucky not to sudden change. Man,
0:10
Speaker 1: that's tough. I uh, unabated, did not realize that. Yeah,
0:15
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't I don't know when it happened.
0:17
Speaker 2: All I know is that that it went out because
0:19
Speaker 2: the lights were flashing. His Arman's uh most angry and
0:24
Speaker 2: thing that causes him the most frustration in the house
0:27
Speaker 2: changing the clock, the clocks. So I realized that the
0:29
Speaker 2: clocks were wrong on the coffee maker and the and
0:31
Speaker 2: the stove, and that was about. That was about it.
0:33
Speaker 2: I had slept through it. Nobody else in the house did,
0:35
Speaker 2: but you know I did, of course not.
0:36
Speaker 3: You know, working through this shift is one thing you
0:39
Speaker 3: worry about, obviously getting up is the alarm clock. And
0:42
Speaker 3: I've always had this fear that if the power went out,
0:45
Speaker 3: my alarm and mess up. So you know, you got
0:48
Speaker 3: the phone alarm now, thankfully, because.
0:49
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, using are you using
0:51
Speaker 1: an old school alarm clock? Used to? I used to,
0:54
Speaker 1: But now I'm using too.
0:55
Speaker 3: And I bought a new alarm clock that is also
0:59
Speaker 3: battery powered, so you get that.
1:02
Speaker 1: Back up.
1:02
Speaker 3: See your boys thinking, though your boys thinking. But I
1:06
Speaker 3: was worried about the power last night. I mean it
1:08
Speaker 3: was thundering and lightning, obviously, and the rain was so
1:11
Speaker 3: thick it sounded like hail. So I kept thinking it
1:13
Speaker 3: was hailing out there. But I don't think it did.
1:16
Speaker 3: But I thought, yeah, absolutely.
1:20
Speaker 2: I don't know that it was hailing here. I did
1:22
Speaker 2: see some online. You can see some sweet things. Some
1:25
Speaker 2: some storm chasers in Illinois. There were some really devastating
1:29
Speaker 2: tornadoes down in Illinois, uh, Indiana area. One guy was
1:34
Speaker 2: holding up a piece of hail arm and five inches
1:37
Speaker 2: in diameter.
1:38
Speaker 1: That's pretty wild.
1:39
Speaker 2: But the world record size hail at the state of
1:42
Speaker 2: Illinois has been recorded.
1:44
Speaker 1: We did it. I was. You could tell the excitement
1:47
Speaker 1: and my man man smiles. The storm chasers or the
1:50
Speaker 1: cloud chasers? What you the cloud chasers? Oh, the storm chasers?
1:53
Speaker 1: That what she said? Yeah? The cloud chasers? All right?
1:56
Speaker 1: So wow, maybe I was shooting content. You guys got ye.
2:00
Speaker 1: What are we upset about shooting content?
2:02
Speaker 3: Right?
2:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure I was from Texas, Illinois. We didn't
2:04
Speaker 1: get usually compared to a lot of other places. Holy cow.
2:08
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven nine seven three. Nicolay Lodoc I'm
2:11
Speaker 1: talking text on hot take hump day. Let's open the
2:13
Speaker 1: bidding hot takes in this college basketball tournament season. This
2:17
Speaker 1: one is perennial that Wisconsin high school basketball needs a
2:22
Speaker 1: shot clock. No, that's an easy one. Yeah, that's an
2:24
Speaker 1: easy one. But that's what you think about, like that
2:27
Speaker 1: game needs to evolve with the rest of the country.
2:30
Speaker 1: Very good, But here's one for you. And this is
2:32
Speaker 1: what operated. This one came up yesterday and of all
2:34
Speaker 1: places at my dentist office. Let's go the NCAA tournament
2:40
Speaker 1: college basketball that we all love so much, and everybody's
2:42
Speaker 1: going to about to be transfixed by college basketball. Like
2:45
Speaker 1: when are they going to ditch the twenty minute halves
2:48
Speaker 1: and go to four quarter? Good question? People, could they
2:50
Speaker 1: think about now that guys are pros playing four twelve
2:53
Speaker 1: minute quarters? Do we expand the game at all? Do
2:55
Speaker 1: we need to play stick it to to forty minutes?
2:58
Speaker 1: But why don't they do quarters? Oh, especially with the
3:02
Speaker 1: built in TV timeouts and stuff like, wouldn't it be
3:04
Speaker 1: a smoother product and experience if we had quarters? Even
3:07
Speaker 1: high school I used to have, But now it's quarters.
3:09
Speaker 1: They were talking about this for a while. I've been
3:11
Speaker 1: talking about this years.
3:12
Speaker 3: Ago, about why haven't they done it yet, make an
3:14
Speaker 3: industry standard with the rest of basketball and things like that.
3:17
Speaker 2: We women play at the quarters, the women's play the quarters.
3:20
Speaker 2: The one to me that the hot the hot take
3:22
Speaker 2: that I would have on that. Actually I don't mind
3:25
Speaker 2: the college one. And I would wonder when the NBA
3:28
Speaker 2: would join every other basketball league in the world and
3:34
Speaker 2: play forty minute games. Yeah, because they they are generally
3:38
Speaker 2: the only league that you find that plays forty eight minutes.
3:42
Speaker 2: And for a sport that all we hear about is
3:45
Speaker 2: how difficult it is to play, how longer, how much
3:47
Speaker 2: longer it is to.
3:48
Speaker 1: Play, how much there ten minute quarters college basketball four
3:51
Speaker 1: to ten minute quarters standard. Maybe that's your solution for
3:54
Speaker 1: less games.
3:55
Speaker 2: Team, I was just gonna say, and what it ultimately
3:57
Speaker 2: would do Now, I can't do all the math right year,
4:00
Speaker 2: but it would cut down a certain amount of games.
4:01
Speaker 2: It would cut down an amount of games that you
4:03
Speaker 2: end up playing. If you're cutting eight minutes off per night,
4:06
Speaker 2: what is that six games? Uh, every six game you're
4:10
Speaker 2: you're shaving off one game played.
4:12
Speaker 1: College basketball, you already have the five media timeouts per half,
4:18
Speaker 1: and then like one of them is a quarter break, Like,
4:20
Speaker 1: how is that even? I mean, that doesn't seem to
4:23
Speaker 1: change the flow that much. I'm sure like Greg Guard
4:25
Speaker 1: would probably say, now, Drew, you're missing though. We want
4:27
Speaker 1: to have the flow or the you know, the way
4:30
Speaker 1: fouls are accumulated and stuff. But he did. I think
4:33
Speaker 1: data just. I think data just.
4:34
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's reasons they like the routine of it,
4:36
Speaker 3: but I think they adjust what I think is weird. Billy,
4:39
Speaker 3: by the way, I did that eight eight minutes and
4:41
Speaker 3: a two games, and then to by my forty, so
4:43
Speaker 3: that's thirteen point six games.
4:45
Speaker 1: You'd be saving right there and right right in the
4:48
Speaker 1: wheelhouse where you said we need to play seventy games.
4:50
Speaker 3: Couldn't have you wouldn't have any more eighty three point nights.
4:53
Speaker 3: Though from from.
4:54
Speaker 1: Bam, I bet the under on that, brother, be the
4:59
Speaker 1: under on that brother.
5:00
Speaker 2: I saw that if I saw the way they were
5:01
Speaker 2: playing it last night towards the end of the game.
5:03
Speaker 3: Here's the weird thing about that though, with the halves
5:05
Speaker 3: in the quarters all right now. I was talking to
5:07
Speaker 3: our friend Dajah Smith Jenkins, the coach at Whitefish made
5:10
Speaker 3: the Minigans tough loss in the tournament, but they won
5:12
Speaker 3: the regional championship. The women in high school in Wisconsin
5:17
Speaker 3: play halves. Now why does that happen? Now you're talking
5:21
Speaker 3: about industry standards. So in the women's game, the WNBA
5:25
Speaker 3: plays quarters, women's college plays quarters, So why do we
5:28
Speaker 3: play halves in women's high school in Wisconsin?
5:31
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem right right.
5:33
Speaker 3: That seems they used to play quarters when I was
5:35
Speaker 3: in high school, Billy, And now this is getting to
5:37
Speaker 3: be a long time ago, isn't that. I didn't realize
5:39
Speaker 3: that because I remember them playing quarters. Yet you have
5:41
Speaker 3: boys high school playing quarters boys, you know, NBA men's
5:45
Speaker 3: NBA playing quarters, but halves in college.
5:48
Speaker 1: I don't really get it. I mean, you know, that's
5:50
Speaker 1: kinda weird. In fifty one, they were doing four ten
5:53
Speaker 1: minute quarters of basketball in the NBA in the n Cuba.
5:56
Speaker 1: By nineteen fifty four, the NCAA went back playing halves.
5:59
Speaker 1: The NBA kept the quarters, I guarantee there were, and
6:02
Speaker 1: added two minutes to each, resulting in the current twelve
6:05
Speaker 1: minute quarters that still exist. But you know, the longer halves,
6:12
Speaker 1: I guess that's they say fewer stoppages. I don't know.
6:15
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like the five media timeouts well
6:18
Speaker 1: just deferred somewhere different than it is. It all traces
6:20
Speaker 1: to TV, probably because the rights deals are all cooked
6:23
Speaker 1: with these certain amounts. Yeah breaks, and you know.
6:26
Speaker 2: It sold out for fifteen years on end, and then
6:29
Speaker 2: they've probably got the twenty thirty nine NCAA tournament already
6:32
Speaker 2: sold in the fifties.
6:35
Speaker 1: In the fifties, they wanted to do it to increase scoring, well,
6:38
Speaker 1: to like decrease stalling, because run the four quarter corners.
6:43
Speaker 1: That's three shot clock obviously. And now, yeah, now that
6:45
Speaker 1: you have the shot clock, that seems kind of moot
6:47
Speaker 1: and quaint.
6:47
Speaker 2: So is there any reason why you would stop You
6:49
Speaker 2: would not go back to it, because all it would
6:51
Speaker 2: do is incentivize more stoppages and reviews towards the end
6:56
Speaker 2: of a quarter.
6:57
Speaker 1: I think that's one thought.
6:58
Speaker 2: Maybe yah, I mean the thing we'd have to add
7:00
Speaker 2: one or two more video replays that would take another
7:03
Speaker 2: four and a half minutes.
7:04
Speaker 1: Maybe that that's the only saving grace of it. But
7:06
Speaker 1: I don't know.
7:07
Speaker 2: If there's a flow deal, I think the easiest flow
7:09
Speaker 2: is make more shots that that might.
7:10
Speaker 3: Be the Let's be honest, I think people just don't
7:13
Speaker 3: like change. That's probably the biggest thing. I mean, I
7:15
Speaker 3: can't give you a good argument why the college shouldn't
7:18
Speaker 3: go away from halves other than I'm just used to
7:19
Speaker 3: it and I kind of like tradition. But you know,
7:22
Speaker 3: the NBA did go to the circular shot clock. If
7:25
Speaker 3: you guys remember that, that's like the international shot clock.
7:28
Speaker 3: So that's like it's the same clock. It's the same thing.
7:30
Speaker 3: It's just the clock. The physical clock looks like a circle,
7:33
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Instead of that that they
7:35
Speaker 3: no corner edges, no corner edges, so I don't they
7:38
Speaker 3: it looks more European. It's I don't know if that's
7:41
Speaker 3: like a you know, Daktronics doesn't do it anymore. It's Tissot.
7:43
Speaker 3: I don't know the company. That's like a squatch company.
7:46
Speaker 3: So whatever, there you go. I'm an American. Sounds like culture, right,
7:50
Speaker 3: So if you want to institutionalize the game and make
7:53
Speaker 3: it more industry standard to the world game, you would
7:56
Speaker 3: think at some point.
7:57
Speaker 2: Maybe with more and more international places and your best
8:00
Speaker 2: players all national players. I think it makes sense, and
8:04
Speaker 2: it does also It just eliminates and solves the biggest
8:08
Speaker 2: problem that you have right now, which is saying that
8:10
Speaker 2: the season is too long long. Well, let's shorten it
8:12
Speaker 2: by twelve games by playing eight less minutes a night,
8:15
Speaker 2: two less minutes. And guess we can still sell the
8:19
Speaker 2: same amount. We can still sell the tickets for the
8:21
Speaker 2: exact same price. We can still get the exact same.
8:25
Speaker 1: How is BAM going to score eighty three? Then that's it.
8:28
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're finding away. You saw last night, guys,
8:31
Speaker 1: they're fighting there. They're fighting away. Don't find away. Maybe
8:35
Speaker 1: it'll be a sixty point night, but the way scoring
8:37
Speaker 1: blows up, like you can't tell me it would be
8:39
Speaker 1: a record book will be there by that time. So
8:42
Speaker 1: that's true, right, so in the But here's the other thing.
8:45
Speaker 1: In this era of manipulation and prop bets and well, yeah,
8:51
Speaker 1: the slippery slope, we got one foot on the banana
8:53
Speaker 1: peel right of of sports with this. When you have
8:59
Speaker 1: a team up twenty or twenty five, whatever they want,
9:01
Speaker 1: they won by twenty something like one fifty yeah, one
9:04
Speaker 1: fifty nine. When you have a team in the lead
9:07
Speaker 1: in the waning minutes fouling intentionally, that is not in
9:11
Speaker 1: the spirit of competition, and that is not like should
9:14
Speaker 1: this be should there be an investigation of some sorts?
9:17
Speaker 1: Was there a late? Was there a late like cal
9:20
Speaker 1: she bet? Did someone bet? Or in game? Did they bet? Like, Oh,
9:24
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna manipulate that they're gonna get them over.
9:27
Speaker 1: Let's push it.
9:28
Speaker 3: That could always happen, irregardless of a Bam knight. I'm
9:31
Speaker 3: saying this is more about bam.
9:32
Speaker 1: Right, I'm saying, but this is like, but if in
9:34
Speaker 1: the league, like, is this a good look for the
9:37
Speaker 1: league to have a team that's up twenty fouling intentionally? Like, no,
9:40
Speaker 1: it's not a good look. It's not a good look.
9:42
Speaker 1: The perception yeh, but I don't think for the betting
9:43
Speaker 1: ac you're manipulate. But that's how do you ignore that? Now? Well,
9:47
Speaker 1: I'd like ten years ago you'd see this and you
9:49
Speaker 1: wouldn't have any suspicions. But now you're like, wait a minute, somebody, Yeah,
9:53
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but nobody, nobody's booking that. No, nobody's booking
9:57
Speaker 1: you know, to score sixty points seven, you know, but
10:01
Speaker 1: again then live total you're doing live and it's like
10:05
Speaker 1: the fact that you can bet live in game. Here's yeah.
10:08
Speaker 1: But to me, the problem is that this is this.
10:10
Speaker 2: Is where I am the heat locker room text to
10:12
Speaker 2: Buddy saying, hey, we're going to force honestly where I
10:15
Speaker 2: get almost more and this would be my hot take.
10:17
Speaker 2: Is the thing that I hate the absolute most are
10:20
Speaker 2: the injury forgivenesses or the team or the book comes
10:24
Speaker 2: out and says we apologize for this, We're gonna change this,
10:27
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get this back as this guy got
10:29
Speaker 2: taken out in the end of the first quarter. That's gambling, brother,
10:32
Speaker 2: Like you hit, you hit place, bet you allow and
10:36
Speaker 2: surrender anything and everything that is going to happen in
10:39
Speaker 2: that game to it. You also could have bet that
10:41
Speaker 2: exact same thing. He could have blown out his a
10:43
Speaker 2: cl and then you would have lost.
10:44
Speaker 1: Right, is likely to help better than bet and last night.
10:48
Speaker 2: The bigger one for the gambling lie, the worst one,
10:52
Speaker 2: the most egregious one would be if you were a
10:54
Speaker 2: Hornets minus three and a half better, where my man
10:56
Speaker 2: for Portland hits a change three half court buzzer beater
11:03
Speaker 2: down five to lose by two, and that flips the money.
11:07
Speaker 2: That's the one that's a lot more aggregious, a lot
11:09
Speaker 2: more frustrating.
11:10
Speaker 1: There. Someone showed a video the other day of a
11:12
Speaker 1: guy who's like his over over under him was like
11:15
Speaker 1: eighteen or eighteen and a half and he had Kevin
11:17
Speaker 1: Durant had I think it was over under was nineteen.
11:20
Speaker 1: Somebody just had it, took a three and just it
11:23
Speaker 1: went like over the top of the backboard. It was
11:26
Speaker 1: such a horrible attempt. It's like, wait a minute, is
11:28
Speaker 1: this guy even trying? And it was like he didn't
11:30
Speaker 1: want to hit it because he didn't want to go
11:32
Speaker 1: the over and it's everything now raises the quession you
11:36
Speaker 1: can pull out any highlight goes he shaving is.
11:39
Speaker 3: Can I say something about that? I guess this is
11:40
Speaker 3: a hot take? I have on hot take, humpty, and
11:43
Speaker 3: I see a lot of that nowt I'm not naive
11:45
Speaker 3: enough to think it never happens. Of course, there have
11:46
Speaker 3: been examples throughout history of sports where some guys have
11:49
Speaker 3: been on the you know.
11:51
Speaker 1: Uh compromise.
11:52
Speaker 3: He got one every couple of months every you know
11:54
Speaker 3: it had happened in college. There's but but most of
11:56
Speaker 3: the time, ninety nine point nine percent of the time,
11:59
Speaker 3: And I see people pull these clips now all over
12:01
Speaker 3: the place. There's there's there's accounts dedicated to to you know,
12:05
Speaker 3: shady stuff happening in games where they think it's rigged.
12:10
Speaker 3: So I know it does happen sometimes I'm not saying
12:13
Speaker 3: it doesn't. But most of the time, my hot take
12:15
Speaker 3: is all these people whining about everything being rigged now,
12:19
Speaker 3: or just people whinting they lost their bets.
12:21
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I think. It is more than
12:23
Speaker 1: anything else.
12:23
Speaker 3: I mean, but it's still I think unlikely that that
12:26
Speaker 3: is happening most of the time. And anytime you lose
12:29
Speaker 3: your bet and you think you should have won it,
12:31
Speaker 3: that's where everyone go the games are rigged, And it's
12:33
Speaker 3: getting kind annoying for me because I'm like, no, you
12:35
Speaker 3: just lost your bet, and you're salty about it, all right.
12:38
Speaker 3: If you if something crazy would have happened for you
12:40
Speaker 3: to win your bet, you would have thought it was
12:41
Speaker 3: your own genius that won the bet for you. So
12:43
Speaker 3: let's not think we're any any better than we are
12:46
Speaker 3: and think we're so smart we should win every bet.
12:48
Speaker 1: I know, this is like a little bit of a
12:49
Speaker 1: betting hot take. I think lost their bets.
12:53
Speaker 3: I don't.
12:53
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to.
12:54
Speaker 2: I don't want to pour cold water on it. I
12:55
Speaker 2: almost do a flaming hot take that you think majority
12:58
Speaker 2: of games are not fixed.
13:00
Speaker 1: Like I I do believe.
13:01
Speaker 2: I do believe there's people that will, at any point
13:04
Speaker 2: in time believe that there's somebody else pulling some strengths.
13:09
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, packers up twenty one three. Serious? Yeah,
13:13
Speaker 1: you're going.
13:14
Speaker 2: To watch this one because you have great commercials like
13:17
Speaker 2: the Buffalo wild Wings.
13:18
Speaker 1: One of my man hits them. And you just romantically
13:22
Speaker 1: posted the first three minutes of a playoff game from
13:25
Speaker 1: a couple of decades ago. I did not, I did
13:27
Speaker 1: it retweeted, uh someoneka.
13:29
Speaker 3: There was an argument going around the internet about the
13:31
Speaker 3: first three minutes of the Jazz Bulls championship game and
13:34
Speaker 3: the style of basketball and if it's better or worse
13:36
Speaker 3: than it used to be?
13:37
Speaker 1: Right, So you posted that, let's put that those three
13:39
Speaker 1: minutes up against the last three minutes of Heat Wizards
13:42
Speaker 1: from last night. Yeah, but what's the point the atrocity
13:46
Speaker 1: in which one you know, I don't I understand that there?
13:50
Speaker 1: So what are you saying that it was that means
13:52
Speaker 1: it's written. I'm just I'm just saying like this, like
13:55
Speaker 1: this is where the league is, Like what as a league?
13:57
Speaker 1: Where would you rather be?
13:58
Speaker 3: Like?
13:58
Speaker 1: And no, sh should Silver even announce an investigation until
14:04
Speaker 1: last night? Or is there some kind of memo saying,
14:06
Speaker 1: oh hey, because didn't it seem like, well, the Wizards
14:09
Speaker 1: were complicit obvious? Yeah, a little bit too maybe that
14:14
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know. I watch, I guess I don't.
14:17
Speaker 1: I don't.
14:18
Speaker 2: Again, I mean I get it, like I don't know
14:21
Speaker 2: that that many people are that upset about it, Like
14:23
Speaker 2: I I do get, like you.
14:25
Speaker 1: There's some Kobe fans that are probably mad. That's the thing,
14:28
Speaker 1: Like it's all because but nobody is taking anything away
14:31
Speaker 1: from Kobe. Everybody needs to chill out on this, Like
14:35
Speaker 1: just because somebody else is great doesn't mean we're taking
14:37
Speaker 1: away anything from a guy who's not going to be
14:40
Speaker 1: able to put anything else on his resume. They don't,
14:42
Speaker 1: we don't need to protect him anymore. I don't understand that.
14:47
Speaker 1: But fam out of Bio doubled his career last night.
14:50
Speaker 1: I mean that was like, you know, it's like scored
14:53
Speaker 1: forty three and a half, like he's not but again,
14:55
Speaker 1: like it's just weird.
14:56
Speaker 3: I mean it's crazy. That makes it something we'll talk
15:00
Speaker 3: about in a regular game. Crazy things happened in sports
15:02
Speaker 3: is what we like it crazy.
15:05
Speaker 1: When Scooter Jeannett had three home runs in a game,
15:08
Speaker 1: was the other pitcher groove in one hoping he could
15:09
Speaker 1: hit fourth? Like didn't it seem like that's what the
15:11
Speaker 1: Wizards were kind of doing?
15:13
Speaker 2: Like did it look like Chad Patrick was doing that?
15:14
Speaker 2: When his third bomb last year in the world in
15:18
Speaker 2: the NLC.
15:20
Speaker 3: Bartolo Pierre when he in a homer after Jose Fernandez died,
15:24
Speaker 3: like he could have a lot of people have said
15:27
Speaker 3: that either said the assignment, but no one wants to
15:29
Speaker 3: talk about it. So the star home run, there you go.
15:33
Speaker 3: There's one that I don't know. Or maybe guys are
15:36
Speaker 3: just good at baseball and every now and then hit
15:38
Speaker 3: a home run. I mean, is that possible?
15:40
Speaker 1: Here? Is that? But that's what But that's where we're at,
15:43
Speaker 1: and that's what the gambling has done, the scrutiny and
15:46
Speaker 1: the skepticism on feats.
15:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I say, this is a lot a lot
15:50
Speaker 3: of nonsense by people that believe these these type of things.
15:53
Speaker 1: Most of the time, I think a lot of it
15:55
Speaker 1: is I don't know I just think a lot of
15:58
Speaker 1: a is the loser's lament, I'll grant you. But also anybody,
16:01
Speaker 1: even people who weren't betting last night, they're starting to
16:04
Speaker 1: look at things different stance and starting to like, you're
16:08
Speaker 1: watching guys. You know, hey, what did this guy do?
16:11
Speaker 1: What was the spread? And then what why did he
16:13
Speaker 1: but why did he go down and take that uncontested
16:16
Speaker 1: lay up against the gentleman's agreement that has stood for
16:18
Speaker 1: a long time where you dribble out the clock. Why
16:20
Speaker 1: did he do that? What was the spread? What was
16:22
Speaker 1: his over undertotal? Like what last night?
16:24
Speaker 2: To me?
16:25
Speaker 1: Doesn't do any of that? To me, that would be
16:27
Speaker 1: like Jordan Davis blocking the field goal and running it
16:30
Speaker 1: back for a touchdown and flipping the spread in the
16:32
Speaker 1: NFL games and the guys that end up end up
16:35
Speaker 1: sliding down a yard or two away from the end zone.
16:37
Speaker 1: I get it.
16:38
Speaker 2: I totally do that that everybody is looking at everything
16:41
Speaker 2: with a fine tooth comb. I also believe that it's
16:44
Speaker 2: mostly people that don't bet, never want to bet, hate it,
16:48
Speaker 2: and everything will always be evil that has anything to
16:51
Speaker 2: do with sports. It.
16:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you also got to stand somewhat vigilant on
16:55
Speaker 1: the wall and make sure that we aren't sliding into
16:58
Speaker 1: the bus. Worse stuff just goes and slides because you
17:01
Speaker 1: have to be watching this stuff. Both are true. Both
17:03
Speaker 1: are true.
17:04
Speaker 2: I mean I don't have to. They have people that
17:06
Speaker 2: get paid to do it like they have. They have
17:08
Speaker 2: millions about millions.
17:09
Speaker 1: Of dollars or you should though, because you're no.
17:13
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is what I'm saying is there's millions
17:15
Speaker 2: upon millions of dollars being invested in by the people
17:17
Speaker 2: that I invest my money with. That I that I'm
17:21
Speaker 2: not going to be the one that's going to say
17:22
Speaker 2: if something's on the up and up. There's a lot
17:24
Speaker 2: more money and a lot more people that are a
17:26
Speaker 2: lot smarter and have a lot more access than anything
17:29
Speaker 2: me tinfoil hat on my couch.
17:31
Speaker 1: The industry has to be a way. But I'm looking
17:33
Speaker 1: at the market looking and you know, sports is the
17:36
Speaker 1: pioneer of this. But there's there's betting markets in the
17:40
Speaker 1: futures markets and the polymarkets. Someone can bet a million
17:44
Speaker 1: dollars that the UH Supreme leader in Iran is going
17:48
Speaker 1: to be deposed within twenty four hours, and then it
17:50
Speaker 1: happens three hours later, and you got to go, well
17:52
Speaker 1: where did that bet come from? All right?
17:53
Speaker 2: But also but also here's the deal, and this is
17:55
Speaker 2: this is Arman, turn the music down. We cannot continue
17:59
Speaker 2: to glo glam the polymarket prediction market with legal sports betting.
18:04
Speaker 2: They are not the same. One is completely unregulated and
18:08
Speaker 2: borderline completely illegal. The other one is through a through
18:12
Speaker 2: multiple versions of legislated and governed pieces. Like considering Calshi
18:20
Speaker 2: and Caesar's the same, it is so far and.
18:23
Speaker 1: Away not the same.
18:24
Speaker 2: Like that is that is blasphemy and honestly it's degrading
18:28
Speaker 2: to the reputation.
18:29
Speaker 1: But it only takes one nineteen year old college kid
18:32
Speaker 1: to manipulate in a tournament game or something. That's like
18:36
Speaker 1: one kid can impact. But again, but so that it's again,
18:40
Speaker 1: it's just like then he'll go to jail and he'll
18:42
Speaker 1: never be able to play again. I hope. So yeah,
18:44
Speaker 1: we hope. So we are.
18:46
Speaker 2: We are seeing that, we have seen it every single
18:48
Speaker 2: year that all of these guys are dot.
18:50
Speaker 1: But how many guys aren't getting caught. That's the thing is,
18:52
Speaker 1: I don't believe there are guys not able to trust
18:55
Speaker 1: the integrity of the action, is all I'm saying. Well, true,
18:58
Speaker 1: but I don't Again, this is this is me firmly
19:01
Speaker 1: saying that those people that are doing that are being
19:05
Speaker 1: eradicated damn near instantly in all of sport. They they've
19:08
Speaker 1: been getting them. They do a good job getting them.
19:10
Speaker 1: I think, we know. Yeah, there's a lot. There was
19:13
Speaker 1: a time when DraftKings had their thumb on the scale.
19:15
Speaker 1: They kind of got caught a little bit, but they were,
19:17
Speaker 1: you know, cooking. But again when there was no eyes
19:21
Speaker 1: on it. Now it is the most eyes ever. So
19:23
Speaker 1: if there's going, yeah, I disagree with the midt. They
19:32
Speaker 1: caught some steroid guys and some guys slipped through. Like
19:34
Speaker 1: it's like it's not always perfect. It's like I'm just
19:36
Speaker 1: saying we we I'm not saying it. I'm to remain vigilant.
19:41
Speaker 1: Watch make correction. I said, I meant Gordon, the Gordon Strange.
19:48
Speaker 1: I meant Gordon. I've got a mixed up. Sorry, that's okay.
19:51
Speaker 1: I think that's still early. That addition to the name
19:54
Speaker 1: might be one of my favorites of all time. Strange, Yeah,
19:56
Speaker 1: go de Gordon Strange. Did he do that peer pre
19:59
Speaker 1: or post ped good question. I don't know. That's probably
20:03
Speaker 1: one to change up.
20:04
Speaker 2: Now you want to talk about ped Yeah, man hits
20:07
Speaker 2: the batting title, gets booked right after he hits the
20:09
Speaker 2: five five year, eighty million dollars.
20:13
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to investigate that. Yeah. Eight seven seven seven
20:17
Speaker 1: seven three. We've reached halftime of the week. Halftime of
20:20
Speaker 1: the show. Scott Dolphin's gonna pop in next. We'll see
20:23
Speaker 1: if it's another slice of chocolate cake. Go three for three.
20:27
Speaker 1: It's the Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. It's halftime of
20:34
Speaker 1: the Huddle. Drew Billion arm and bringing it to you.
20:36
Speaker 1: We are joined by Scott Dolphin from the country station
20:38
Speaker 1: down the hall and Dolph. Our buffet is just bountiful today. Yeah,
20:42
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that that lice chocolate cake out of here. Yeah,
20:46
Speaker 1: we've had it two days in a row. I'm wondering
20:48
Speaker 1: if you would to go for day three? No, up,
20:51
Speaker 1: and I could go for day four too. There's two
20:52
Speaker 1: left there all years if you want them. Guys are
20:55
Speaker 1: the best. I was gonna give you one per day.
20:57
Speaker 1: That was like you were you gonna get a new
21:00
Speaker 1: one At any point.
21:02
Speaker 3: I thought it was nice. I was thinking about them.
21:03
Speaker 3: But a new one, oh and newt cake. Yeah, yeah,
21:07
Speaker 3: when that one's done. Yeah, you're the best.
21:11
Speaker 1: We are. Uh, we're sifting through like all the big news.
21:14
Speaker 1: Max Crosby Trade rescinded BAM out of bioscores eighty three,
21:17
Speaker 1: and US loses to Italy. We're boycotting pizza and pasta
21:21
Speaker 1: and lasagna for twenty four hours and just reading the
21:25
Speaker 1: tiebreaker rules my brain about exploded this morning. So they
21:28
Speaker 1: can still make the quarterfinals, but they need help. Mexico scores.
21:33
Speaker 1: Is it four runs or four runs or less or less?
21:36
Speaker 1: Then they don't make it, right, Then they don't. Then
21:38
Speaker 1: they don't get any Mexico scores five or more than
21:42
Speaker 1: the US is Italy beats Mexico, the US is in
21:45
Speaker 1: I think correct, right.
21:47
Speaker 2: Yes, because the then the just head to head is
21:48
Speaker 2: the first tiebreaker and all of it.
21:50
Speaker 1: Yep, Dolph, I'm with you because I do.
21:52
Speaker 2: Have investments of the Pottowatomy Sports Book that are coming
21:55
Speaker 2: down to uh the pool winners. And I didn't realize
21:58
Speaker 2: there was gonna be math involved, Like I thought the
22:00
Speaker 2: biggest math was going to be how I spend the
22:03
Speaker 2: money I win at the Pottawatami Sports Book. Instead, I'm
22:06
Speaker 2: downing up run differentials. And per nine innings. I got
22:09
Speaker 2: my calculator app out. I not more than I bargained
22:12
Speaker 2: for that. That's not a baseball problem.
22:14
Speaker 1: You should have in March, Billy, No differentials, No, no,
22:17
Speaker 1: it should not be. We should be war in September.
22:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.
22:19
Speaker 1: I also, and again, what is the criteria? Did there
22:21
Speaker 1: are there actual rules for these teams? As far as
22:25
Speaker 1: I mean, can you have it? Was it? Was it?
22:26
Speaker 1: Grandfather twice removed? Great question. I mean, Zimmerman Rangers pitcher
22:30
Speaker 1: was pitching for Italy last night. You just wonder how
22:34
Speaker 1: what is he?
22:35
Speaker 3: Because I hear about these sports fans always whining about
22:38
Speaker 3: the Olympics, whining about how well should they be playing
22:41
Speaker 3: for this country and citizenship, and none of these guys
22:44
Speaker 3: and from there, actually, I mean there are some obviously,
22:47
Speaker 3: but half the Italy team or mostly Italy team is
22:50
Speaker 3: all American major leaguers. They're saying stuff like, hey, it's
22:53
Speaker 3: weird to be going against my country.
22:56
Speaker 1: Yeah. I know, self considered it right. He was going
22:58
Speaker 1: to play for team Italy. And then there was a
23:00
Speaker 1: rumor did last time? Don't last time?
23:02
Speaker 3: I don't blame guys for playing if they get a
23:04
Speaker 3: chance to play, it is what it is, but it is.
23:06
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're gonna be consistent, if you're gonna
23:08
Speaker 3: whine about the Olympics.
23:10
Speaker 1: And people are way more used to it now. I
23:12
Speaker 1: remember when a Rod played for the Dominican people lost
23:16
Speaker 1: their minds. You know, being a Miami guy feels kind
23:20
Speaker 1: of like a loser's lamento.
23:21
Speaker 2: If we're worried about these other teams taking Major League guys,
23:23
Speaker 2: I mean like, because we're still sitting here looking at
23:26
Speaker 2: a dream team, we're still supposed to be able to
23:29
Speaker 2: bludget anybody in our past time.
23:31
Speaker 1: How many people on that team Team Italy would would
23:34
Speaker 1: have made the US roster? Uh, probably a couple, Probably
23:37
Speaker 1: a couple.
23:37
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe maybe maybe Pascino, They would have played for
23:40
Speaker 3: the US if they could.
23:42
Speaker 1: They wishing they had Michael Lorenzen right now? Would you
23:45
Speaker 1: rather be the last guy on the bench or be
23:46
Speaker 1: able to hit three? Well? Maybe, but I would like
23:50
Speaker 1: most guys probably dreamed of playing for Team US. I
23:53
Speaker 1: could be right, but Army, you also say it like
23:55
Speaker 1: my country.
23:55
Speaker 2: Also if their dad lived in Italy or their grandfather
23:59
Speaker 2: lived in Italy.
23:59
Speaker 1: It's the East, the easiest in and out.
24:01
Speaker 2: But we're always prideful about where we're from, and then
24:05
Speaker 2: we'll be able to throw it out there.
24:07
Speaker 1: I'm from I'm German. I'm then throw it out there
24:09
Speaker 1: and enjoy it. I don't know that there's a big
24:11
Speaker 1: issue with that. You would be torn if team are
24:14
Speaker 1: media out here said hey, Armin, we want you for
24:17
Speaker 1: the next World Baseball Classic. But but you know you
24:20
Speaker 1: also have a chance to wear the stars and stripes.
24:22
Speaker 1: Yeah you do. I'm with you.
24:23
Speaker 3: I just think the quote of I'm playing against my
24:26
Speaker 3: team or my country. Is that why it's You know
24:30
Speaker 3: that player has to have at least one parent who
24:33
Speaker 3: is or if deceased, was a citizen of the federation's
24:37
Speaker 3: team country or territory.
24:38
Speaker 1: So that's evidence by a passport. Oh okay, so that's pretty.
24:43
Speaker 2: To be born in the federation's team country or territory
24:45
Speaker 2: evidence by a birth certificate. Player has to have at
24:48
Speaker 2: least one parent who was born in the federation team
24:50
Speaker 2: country or territory evidence by a birth certificate.
24:53
Speaker 1: Right there you go. I thought it's not just as
24:57
Speaker 1: they came at my guys Cirillo for one of the
24:59
Speaker 1: first World Baseball Classics because of his last name. But
25:03
Speaker 1: it was a deal where he had. His stepfather was
25:05
Speaker 1: named Sorello. He was adopted, not Italian. He's like, but
25:08
Speaker 1: I appreciate the end, right, The one most interesting one
25:11
Speaker 1: I remember was you, Darvish? Who who is it? Iran?
25:15
Speaker 1: Was his one of his was his mom or something? Yeah,
25:19
Speaker 1: maybe his father? I mean, because he's Japanese, right you darbish?
25:24
Speaker 1: And so Darvish isn't a real Japanese but I think
25:27
Speaker 1: the background is somewhere in the Middle East his one parent. Well,
25:30
Speaker 1: and I mean we listen, we had Joel Embiid who
25:32
Speaker 1: was like taking bids from like four different countries to
25:35
Speaker 1: try to play in the Olympics this year, and we
25:37
Speaker 1: were okayes. You Darvish born in Osaka to a Japanese
25:42
Speaker 1: mother an Iranian father. I remember that citizenship, wild upbringing.
25:47
Speaker 1: But his heritage includes an Iranian father who moved to
25:50
Speaker 1: the US in nineteen seventy seven. Well, it probably wouldn't
25:53
Speaker 1: be the best time to play for Team Iran in
25:55
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic. Oh his spots open nights. Come on,
26:00
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't know a lot of our you know,
26:03
Speaker 1: and it is a good good time to buy. That's
26:05
Speaker 1: a great walk off right on that one.
26:07
Speaker 2: But when when I'm now watching here tonight, I was
26:10
Speaker 2: anticipating tonight being a victory stickart night.
26:12
Speaker 1: I don't think.
26:13
Speaker 2: Anybody was anticipating having to watch a different game of
26:16
Speaker 2: two different countries not named Venezuela and the Dominican as
26:20
Speaker 2: being the headliner here.
26:21
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah, well maybe if we're lucky to move through,
26:24
Speaker 3: we learned our lesson, you know.
26:25
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the way I look at it.
26:27
Speaker 1: Italy has Mexico or Mexico has to score at least
26:30
Speaker 1: five runs in a win from Mexico.
26:33
Speaker 3: Aren't you trying to knock you at me your rival?
26:35
Speaker 3: You're trying to knock you s a out.
26:37
Speaker 1: Joey all come through for us, He'll go for for
26:39
Speaker 1: You're up.
26:40
Speaker 2: You're up for to one in your Mexico, right, so
26:42
Speaker 2: they would they be the home team or with the
26:45
Speaker 2: top of the ninth in in your team Mexico, you're
26:47
Speaker 2: up for to one.
26:48
Speaker 1: You better hope Randy or Resraina doesn't come up in
26:50
Speaker 1: a basis stack tonight.
26:52
Speaker 2: Are you just check swinging at everything and taking the
26:55
Speaker 2: three up, three down and get yourself out and bouncing
26:57
Speaker 2: the US.
26:59
Speaker 1: That's something to think about me. I would I would
27:01
Speaker 1: think there'd be a conversation. You know what, this reminds
27:04
Speaker 1: me of every World Cup soccer the United States, like, well,
27:07
Speaker 1: we can get in, but we need some help.
27:09
Speaker 3: Same every year, every World Cup. It's like the knack
27:12
Speaker 3: doun stage. We're gonna be through. All we have to
27:14
Speaker 3: do is top Paly.
27:15
Speaker 2: We have a sport now that we dominate that we
27:17
Speaker 2: can enjoy this and just know that we're gonna win.
27:19
Speaker 1: Like hockey, right exactly, that we.
27:22
Speaker 2: Got a sport good one is our national pastime that
27:24
Speaker 2: we just dominate.
27:25
Speaker 1: We're running out of those now that Italy wins that
27:28
Speaker 1: game and they were up eight nothing in a game
27:30
Speaker 1: in which their top five hitters combined to go oh
27:32
Speaker 1: for twenty two. Wow. If the Brewers go oh for
27:34
Speaker 1: twenty two in the top five socks, they got no
27:36
Speaker 1: chance of winning. On no chance. Get from the White Sox.
27:40
Speaker 1: One of the heroes last night for Italy, and I'm
27:42
Speaker 1: guessing we'll see him in a couple of weeks. That
27:44
Speaker 1: American family field is Yeah, the short socking. Get a
27:46
Speaker 1: couple ribbies. Oh he's not playing for Venice. Oh that's weird.
27:49
Speaker 1: Apparently not okay, One of the biggest upsets in World
27:53
Speaker 1: Baseball classic history. You've been that. You see a lot
27:56
Speaker 1: of baseball over there. I don't know what I know.
27:57
Speaker 1: I just don't know what this argument is.
27:59
Speaker 2: Is like if we have the seven or eight last
28:01
Speaker 2: last seven or eight MVPs in the NBA are all
28:04
Speaker 2: for European.
28:05
Speaker 3: I just want everyone to know, no matter who wins
28:07
Speaker 3: his tournament, it's still America's pastime.
28:10
Speaker 1: I mean now, no, Japan's legit. No, we don't get
28:13
Speaker 1: to do that. We don't get to do that.
28:15
Speaker 2: We don't get to spike the football and steal the
28:17
Speaker 2: hockey puck and the sticks and the goals from Canada
28:20
Speaker 2: and sit back here saying, well, you know, if cherch
28:23
Speaker 2: Scooba would have actually thrown eighty four pitches instead of
28:26
Speaker 2: being told by Scott Boras.
28:28
Speaker 1: That he couldn't pitch more than forty. We can't do that.
28:30
Speaker 1: We don't want to do that. That's what we don't
28:32
Speaker 1: get to do that. Don't you enjoy that?
28:34
Speaker 3: I being Canadian hockey guy, though basically that's what hits
28:36
Speaker 3: with Canada.
28:37
Speaker 1: It's still our game, like you know, but again, Canada
28:39
Speaker 1: got to the gold medal game. We're not even getting
28:42
Speaker 1: to the damn quarter final. Yeah, and they've been to
28:45
Speaker 1: ten or they've won ten medal games too.
28:47
Speaker 2: This is almost as bad as US losing in American
28:50
Speaker 2: football in the U twenties.
28:52
Speaker 1: Now, I'm with you, and I.
28:53
Speaker 3: Was assuming we have our best players too, Like with
28:56
Speaker 3: my homes and with these guys.
28:58
Speaker 1: Don't care. Don't we lost that game to somebody? Oh
29:01
Speaker 1: yeah I didn't. I didn't know this. I'm pretty sure
29:04
Speaker 1: we lost to Austria. Austria. There's there's some sort of
29:09
Speaker 1: a tournament the.
29:11
Speaker 2: U twenties, the under you Under twenty American Football. It's
29:16
Speaker 2: listed as American football. And I'm pretty sure we took fourth. Wow,
29:20
Speaker 2: it's the gold medal game and armand I don't care.
29:23
Speaker 2: If we don't have Georgia Bulldogs and Tennessee Volunteers and
29:26
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Badgers running out there, you have Carol Pioneers and
29:29
Speaker 2: Whitewater Warhawks out there. It's American football. We need to
29:33
Speaker 2: be winning that game.
29:34
Speaker 1: But is this like the three on three thing that
29:36
Speaker 1: we had at the Olympics where our guys they were like,
29:39
Speaker 1: let me tackle football. Yeah, that's embarrassing. That's embarrassing. But
29:43
Speaker 1: if you're it was it was. It was closer to again.
29:46
Speaker 1: I love D three guys. It was a lot more
29:48
Speaker 1: D three guys than D one guys. Still, we need
29:50
Speaker 1: to be winning that gay, Yeah we do.
29:51
Speaker 2: We still need to be winning that game. I don't
29:53
Speaker 2: care if we're running out there the Biloxi Shuckers last.
29:56
Speaker 1: Night, Drew. Still, we can't be losing to Italy. You
29:59
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, we can't be losing. Can't. It's a
30:03
Speaker 1: wake up call. Well maybe for everybody. I'm just excited
30:07
Speaker 1: for the wake up call. With Durosa here and on MLB.
30:10
Speaker 1: You think he's gonna do it today, IM gonna do
30:11
Speaker 1: his hit with them. He's joining, he's been doing, he's
30:14
Speaker 1: been doing the daily hit.
30:15
Speaker 3: I think you're sick. I think you're slept in this morning.
30:17
Speaker 3: I think you're unavailable this morning. They took his video
30:20
Speaker 3: down from yesterday, right, they did.
30:22
Speaker 1: They did Mark de Rosa not knowing that they hadn't
30:25
Speaker 1: punched their ticket to the goal. Yet that wasn't bad. Look, listen,
30:29
Speaker 1: we want to win that. We want to win the game.
30:31
Speaker 1: But you know now that we got our ticket punched,
30:33
Speaker 1: you don't see how it goes.
30:34
Speaker 2: I just get everyone in there, get a couple of
30:37
Speaker 2: apples and orange slices, get kershaw some innings.
30:39
Speaker 1: I can't blame he is warming up.
30:41
Speaker 3: I can't blame a guy for thinking in a knockout
30:43
Speaker 3: stage of four games you go three.
30:45
Speaker 1: No, you probably punched it.
30:46
Speaker 3: I can't blame him assuming that I guess, but it
30:48
Speaker 3: wasn't true obviously, But isn't that what happened?
30:51
Speaker 1: Basically is there was he you blame, not blame. There's
30:55
Speaker 1: one guy in the clubhouse that I want to know
30:56
Speaker 1: the rules. And he's the guy. He's the guy there
31:00
Speaker 1: a guy right on any given night. And you know
31:02
Speaker 1: this like when in football there are guys who plays
31:05
Speaker 1: that they don't realize. It's sudden that they don't know
31:07
Speaker 1: the rules, and we just get an exemption anyway, when
31:11
Speaker 1: knock out stage, when Niger Morgan, when Niger Morgan hit
31:14
Speaker 1: the base hit, he he's like, I didn't even know
31:17
Speaker 1: the game was tied. He like he said he didn't
31:19
Speaker 1: know the situation. Like I believe that he might if
31:23
Speaker 1: he didn't. It's not as egregious as the guy who's
31:25
Speaker 1: been calling the shots or anything not knowing. That's Mark
31:29
Speaker 1: de Ross is the one guy I want to know
31:31
Speaker 1: I agree with that, I guess.
31:34
Speaker 2: And if we're bringing this to the football version, there's
31:36
Speaker 2: only two guys that can't go to the podium and say,
31:38
Speaker 2: I didn't realize we didn't have a timeout, the head
31:40
Speaker 2: coach and the quarterback, and right now we have the
31:42
Speaker 2: quarter the head coach walk up there and.
31:43
Speaker 1: Be like, no, jeez, I guess not good. My math
31:48
Speaker 1: was wrong. I carried the one. We needed four more runs.
31:51
Speaker 1: My bad's all right, so Dolf. The other thing we're
31:53
Speaker 1: kicking around was Bam scoring eighty three and his team
31:57
Speaker 1: is fouling up twenty five to get him more chances,
31:59
Speaker 1: and it looked it's cooked. It's a little bit, you know,
32:03
Speaker 1: an Isaac Arden moment. Yeah, yeah, just made me think
32:06
Speaker 1: of way back when Ricky Davis wanted a triple double
32:09
Speaker 1: and he was like bouncing the ball off, yeah, and
32:13
Speaker 1: he got it and pop home fans were booing the
32:15
Speaker 1: hell up. That's true, Not quite. That's what you see
32:19
Speaker 1: guys like when they know there's a milestone in sight,
32:21
Speaker 1: they do amp it up a little bit. You know.
32:23
Speaker 1: I just woke up and I saw that stat. I
32:25
Speaker 1: was already sleeping. I'm like, oh my god, Yeah, eighty three,
32:28
Speaker 1: and then I saw the highlights, like, oh okay, yeah,
32:30
Speaker 1: the last three minutes are not not going to be
32:32
Speaker 1: uh in Springfield in.
32:34
Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame, But nor is week eighteen regular
32:37
Speaker 2: season games in the NFL where it's like Mike Evans
32:40
Speaker 2: needs five catches and sixty four yards to get a
32:43
Speaker 2: thousand yards and one hundred catches. All right, first five
32:45
Speaker 2: balls were throwing four slants to mic in a deep
32:47
Speaker 2: ball and then get him out of here and take
32:49
Speaker 2: his pads.
32:49
Speaker 1: That's bonus money you're talking about there, right, So.
32:51
Speaker 2: I mean like it's it's that there's a lot of
32:53
Speaker 2: moments more in sports where it's like, let's get him in,
32:55
Speaker 2: get this and then get the hell out of here.
32:57
Speaker 1: Let's get our number, and let's get our money. Let's
32:58
Speaker 1: get this going. Yeah, speaking of money, Romeo Dobs, did
33:02
Speaker 1: we see that number coming? It was gonna be hefty.
33:06
Speaker 1: I didn't.
33:06
Speaker 2: I guess I projected it would be more like twelve
33:09
Speaker 2: instead of seventeen, because that's the number that I was
33:12
Speaker 2: pitching to Drew, Like, if it's four at fifty, I'm
33:15
Speaker 2: very interested in that deal. Yeah, before at seventy, very
33:18
Speaker 2: much not interested in that contract.
33:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that was an I raise yesterday Elton Jenkins
33:23
Speaker 1: also going to the Browns. That was pretty epic. You
33:26
Speaker 1: hope he's healthy. I'd like to see the guy succeed right.
33:30
Speaker 2: Definitely would like to see him succeeding twenty million guaranteed.
33:33
Speaker 2: I think he ended up getting that. That's twenty four
33:35
Speaker 2: that's significant cash. I would assumes to play.
33:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, welcome to Cleveland, especially when they saw what that
33:40
Speaker 3: old line did against their D line in the New England season.
33:43
Speaker 1: Cleveland inflation, they have to pay more. Yeah, God decision making.
33:47
Speaker 1: You know what do you mean?
33:48
Speaker 3: Well here giving all that money to him, like like
33:51
Speaker 3: guaranteed money. Were they competing against the big market for
33:54
Speaker 3: Maybe they were. I don't realize it.
33:55
Speaker 1: But I don't know that there were. I think there
33:57
Speaker 1: was there was a market for him.
33:58
Speaker 2: I mean, like, if you you've put together a couple
34:01
Speaker 2: of Pro Bowl years offensive line plays two down to
34:04
Speaker 2: not get that money that he was going to get
34:06
Speaker 2: ten or eleven million somewhere in Cleveland just shuffled just
34:11
Speaker 2: about everybody through. I'm fascinated to see if the Bears
34:14
Speaker 2: are going to try to get themselves back into this.
34:16
Speaker 1: Max Crosby sweep. That's intriguing. We're keeping them now, we're
34:19
Speaker 1: keeping them. Yeah, I mean I've seen other names floated
34:22
Speaker 1: out there, but yeah, I would I would imagine he
34:24
Speaker 1: would stay in Vegas. Now, how does this help the
34:26
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson market? Probably helps it a lot.
34:30
Speaker 2: He said he was going to make a formal decision
34:32
Speaker 2: later on today.
34:33
Speaker 1: I think that one might get pushed back a little
34:35
Speaker 1: a little bit, that one might get pushed back a
34:37
Speaker 1: little bit because I think there might be some new suitors.
34:39
Speaker 1: There's some just ridiculous money being thrown around. Was Tyler
34:42
Speaker 1: Lindabaum the highest paid interior lineman in the history of
34:44
Speaker 1: the NFL history of the NFL? Beat the guard market? Yeah? Wow,
34:48
Speaker 1: it's stupid season, stupid teams just spending stupid money. It is.
34:52
Speaker 2: But listen, offensive lineman getting twenty seven million dollars, that's
34:55
Speaker 2: no problem.
34:56
Speaker 1: That is a great decision for the Yeah, you know,
35:00
Speaker 1: so are the Packers going to address what they have
35:04
Speaker 1: up front in the draft? Is that going to be
35:06
Speaker 1: a key? Is that going to be one of the
35:07
Speaker 1: number one things they look at? Now?
35:08
Speaker 2: Oh, this is second wave of free agency? Dolph up
35:11
Speaker 2: Packers fans, no Arman was really excited about this Christmas
35:15
Speaker 2: morning on day one of free agency. This is when
35:18
Speaker 2: Packers free agency starts.
35:19
Speaker 1: Are you excited about Benjamin Saint juice? Come on now, Oh,
35:22
Speaker 1: it's something I'm excited. We got a piece there. Moorries
35:25
Speaker 1: is a really good return a.
35:27
Speaker 3: We're going to get a nose any interior d lineman
35:30
Speaker 3: at all. We didn't get anybody, but they're gonna get
35:31
Speaker 3: one today. Good, I hope so, because I don't think
35:33
Speaker 3: the Zier is the guy right now, he's the only
35:36
Speaker 3: guy there.
35:37
Speaker 1: Well, luckily they don't play a game for six months.
35:39
Speaker 1: They got a lot of time.
35:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, they they gotta Yeah. Well that's why I'm
35:43
Speaker 3: asking the question, you know.
35:44
Speaker 1: And there's some good ones in the draft, arm and good.
35:46
Speaker 1: He said, it's not out of the question that he
35:48
Speaker 1: trades back up into the first round. All right, well
35:51
Speaker 1: not out of the question, Dove. Thanks for dropping by.
35:53
