- 1:19thanks for joining us for this episode. We're gonna talk a lot today.
- 1:23We're gonna cover some UFL football, We're gonna cover some college baseball. We're
- 1:30also gonna talk obviously about NBA playoffs, which is going on right now.
- 1:34Current score Thunder and we're gonna cut this from short so we can finish the
- 1:38game Thunders twenty well two. It's also maver lightning. You didn't see that
- 1:44you were inside doing your notes. A little lot of lightning blowing over obviously.
- 1:49Well, we'll talk about some baseball coming up college wise. Like I
- 1:55said, NBA NFL schedule release today, We're definitely gonna touch on that as
- 1:59we close out much we'll close out with the NFL, but let's talk about
- 2:05softball. Softball regionals announced well. Also I also want to give a warning
- 2:10if you hear children, it's because the Destiny Weese Daycare Center overnight daycare is
- 2:16in full effect right now. So we've got uh, we've got the regionals
- 2:23announced for softball this last week. If you missed it, we didn't talk
- 2:28about it that Oklahoma women beat Texas, won the Big Twelve title twelve tournament
- 2:36season and then still ended up as a two seed. That went into I
- 2:40understand why they did that. That that went into the you know, if
- 2:45Texas hadn't made it to the championship of the tournament, oh, you would
- 2:49have been that number one seed, but more like the finish of the regular
- 2:53season because well, oh you dropped two to Oklahoma State or one to Oklahoma
- 2:55State because we dropped down from two to four. That was what killed that
- 3:00one seed was losing too to Oklahoma State. I think if you would have
- 3:04lost one then beat Texas, you we didn't get to talk about that.
- 3:07I wanted to talk about that. Do you feel that there was a there
- 3:10was a relief and a and a bit of anger for not getting to play
- 3:15Oaklhoma State You mean a softball Yeah, yeah, because took them out.
- 3:22Yeah yeah, well, and I think everyone was anticipating that rematch. But
- 3:25you know, OSU, we'll talk a little bit about it, but you
- 3:29know, we'll start with oun. You should win next season in Texas both
- 3:34but they've so you gets the second seed, forty nine and six record,
- 3:39going to open their regional Cleveland State, who's got a losing record twenty two
- 3:44and twenty four in Boston University and Organs on the other side. Yeah,
- 3:49and Boston University and Organs on the other side. And I'm even further back
- 3:52from you, I can read it too, Okay, I'm surprised because generally
- 3:55there's a there's a people in our age that let me get the glass,
- 4:00no knock on wood. I've still got good eyesight. So so that that
- 4:04opens up with that. And then on the other bracket, you're looking at
- 4:08Florida State, which is a very good program. Oh you're just running into
- 4:11Florida State is where they's happen. And then you've got Chattanooga, which is
- 4:15also a good softball program. Had an excellent year. We've seen UCF they
- 4:18were thirty and twenty three, they made the tournament, and then Auburn sets
- 4:24there and they'll play them so that's gonna be an interesting bracket to watch to
- 4:27see who comes out of that, because it's not a given. Let's talk
- 4:30a little bit about OSU. OSU. I thought got a little better ranking
- 4:34than I anticipated. I thought they'd be more seven to eight. They ended
- 4:39up getting a five seed, Northern Colorado, Michigan, which is a good
- 4:43Big ten school, and then Kentucky back middle of the pack SEC. But
- 4:47the SEC is a really good program, so it's not like Kentucky is is
- 4:53crap. So that's the whole thing about. Oh you in Texas going into
- 4:57the SEC next year, both baseball and softball, uh, both both from
- 5:05that conference, you know put out put out really good teams. What l
- 5:12s you won it last year in the baseball mm hmm? And who was
- 5:17it old Miss one year before you had played? And what Tennessee had won
- 5:25it recently as well? I know they are you looking up the record for
- 5:30that or no past? I was just looking at past baseball chip titles?
- 5:33Oh no, no, no, I thought we're talking about softball. Oh
- 5:38I thought I thought you'd moved over. I was, I was, I
- 5:42was you. I'll tell you what I know. I tell you what I
- 5:44was trying to look up as I wanted to see, and I should have
- 5:46pulled that up before your nuts. By have any conference teams for each I
- 5:53mean, how many teams got in for each conference? Oh, because I'm
- 5:57pretty sure the SEC which we're going into not the most I think. So
- 6:03now you have to remember Florida State was in the championship last year with US,
- 6:10you know, in the softball championship last year. So Stanford was a
- 6:14team we took out. I kind of watched them a little bit to see
- 6:17where they would fall because they still have the great picture forty three. They're
- 6:21probably the best team in They were U c l A, but they got
- 6:27so then you look at you look at l s U. I thought Arkansas.
- 6:30Arkansas is going to be on the opposite side of Oklahoma State, So
- 6:34I thought that was I thought that was at least that's going to be somewhat
- 6:39regional that they put together. Missouri from the SEC had a really good year.
- 6:43I was thinking local teams, they've had a really good year. And
- 6:46obviously you got Tennessee, Florida, Texas, U C l A. All
- 6:50those teams round out about the top five or six. There we go,
- 6:56Yeah, and so around out the top six, so even Southeastsouri State got
- 7:00in that regional with with Arkansas. I was so confused by that. Are
- 7:03they Missouri State or they Southeast Missouri State? Their Southeast Missouri is southwest?
- 7:09Was it Southwest Missouri State that changed to Missouri. Yeah, that would be
- 7:13the one in spring Field that looks more southeast though, so that would be
- 7:17it. You know, I'm very confused by that because I remember that they
- 7:21had that and they changed their name to Missouri State. Other Big twelve team
- 7:26Baylor. They got in Louisiana bracket with Old miss and Princeton and then like
- 7:30I said before u c F they had they ranked in there with Florida States
- 7:38also. So anyway, that kicks off the twenty third of May, yes,
- 7:45which seems like forever long ago. What we at the fifteenth, So
- 7:48that's gonna be next Thursday is when that kicks off. M tournament teams gotcha,
- 7:59So we're gonna see we're doing will break down if it'll even come up,
- 8:03because it doesn't. I try to do the same thing and it's not.
- 8:07I hate see That's what I'm saying that you'll sophone baseball. It's no
- 8:11love in where you know, basketball and football and all that. They all
- 8:22get broken down by how many teams each conference sent, so I'm not seeing
- 8:30anything we'd have to go through the look anyway, moving on, I don't
- 8:37foresee by the time we speak next week, we'll already be into that,
- 8:43and I don't foresee that actually we'll be before the tournament even starting next week.
- 8:46We'll get more of an update then. So yeah, anyway, congratulations.
- 8:50Usually it starts on the twenty third. Yeah, yeah, before that,
- 8:54so we'll break that down a little more to see if there's any news
- 8:56a right, moving on, oh you, oh you and o issue baseball,
- 9:01Oklahoma three game series left with the Xavier game was canceled, so they
- 9:05got a three game series left with Cincinnati that starts. I believe we're tomorrow
- 9:13tomorrow, and they are the Big twelve regular season champs, first time in
- 9:20school history, which is crazy to think that's the first time in school history.
- 9:24There's really cham Yes, yes, that was the first time that they
- 9:28were regular season champs. Now the Oklahoma State they will play Houston. They'll
- 9:37close out the season with Houston starting tomorrow. The World Series. Yeah,
- 9:45it was the first time that they were thirty four and sixteen for O s
- 9:50U. And like I said, they finish up with Houston. I would
- 9:52assume, and baseball is just a weird sport that both those teams, oh
- 9:58you and Osh should win that series and move on and then we've got selections
- 10:05next week. We'll be talking about that. Now. There's been a lot
- 10:09of rumors that you was looking about an eight seed nationally, but that's just
- 10:16all predictions. So we'll see. Like I told you before, Dallas Baptist
- 10:18has been in that mix. I just need to get out of that.
- 10:20We need to get away from We lost to them, I think twice.
- 10:26But hey, congratulations both baseball teams, I mean, have done hell of
- 10:30a job. Thirty four and sixteen. So they were they were third in
- 10:37the in the division. So the Texas I think they were fourth because what
- 10:43was West Virginia? Did they end up high? Remember they were they were
- 10:48the highest ranked for a long time. I just it's Ogloba State second,
- 10:52West Virginia and West Virginia and uh Texas are tied for second. Okay,
- 10:58so that's the final or almost final. But you know, Oklahoma's on a
- 11:05six game win street. Olama State's on a win streak of two and then
- 11:09you've got or three and then West Virginia's two. But Cincinnati also has a
- 11:16winning record, So I say that Oklahomas should beat them, that's not a
- 11:20given. But Houston seven and nineteen in conference issue should sweep them or at
- 11:26least get close. But you know, the top six teams are the only
- 11:31ones have winning record Oklahma, Cloma State, West Virginia, Texas, Cincinnati,
- 11:33and Kansas. One could say. One could say the Big twelve is
- 11:39down a little bit, all right? Update on the thunder thirty five to
- 11:41twenty seven thunder down. It seems like they've been down this whole series.
- 11:46Set the first game, it's like they need to they needed to get No,
- 11:50the first game is like it was every other game they've been losing.
- 11:56Yes, then you know one, we'll get to that here the game before
- 12:03all right, moving on, you can talk a little about uf L.
- 12:07You want to go straight, we'll give date on the UFL standings. We
- 12:11have them up on the board. You can't read my writing, but Shaan
- 12:13you the go to guy and that to go ahead anything. Yeah, No,
- 12:18it's unfortunate that Arlington has already been eliminated because their record was not indicative
- 12:22of the team. They have the leading passer in Luis Prez. They lost
- 12:26a lot of close games and they went up against the one and at the
- 12:31time one in five showboats and and it showed the team that they really are.
- 12:37But it's it's like defenses. They've been scoring the ball, but you
- 12:41know, yeah, the second holder, they have the second worst defense as
- 12:43far as points allowed. No, we did have a preview of what could
- 12:46be a preview of the UFL title game in Birmingham and Saint Louis, and
- 12:56it was a it was a fun game to watch, a great game of
- 12:58which you know, more people were watching. There were a lot more fans
- 13:01in the stadium at Birmingham, UH, but Birmingham is shooting themselves in the
- 13:07foot. Saint Louis was was held held in there the whole game. And
- 13:13and if you've got to look at Birmingham Haddton, you know missed some passes
- 13:16and you know, muffed punt down at the at the five. It was
- 13:24a completely different game. And Michigan Panthers are Michigan and Birmingham the only two
- 13:31that have currently currently UH currently have said I again I'm sure. Uh,
- 13:41it's a Birmingham and Michigan are the only two that have clinch playoff spots so
- 13:46far, where the show Notes and the Roughnecks are already eliminated both at one
- 13:50and six. And you got Wade Phillips's San Antonio Brahmas. They're tied with
- 13:56the old battle Hawks five and two on the x F, so we're waiting
- 14:00to see what comes out of there. Uh. San Antonio bram is a
- 14:03great team to watch too. Have you been watching more of this? I've
- 14:07been watching watch a little bit. I've been watching a lot more of this.
- 14:09What kills it for me is still I don't really care to hear the
- 14:15coaches. I'm not really sure that I enjoy the uh like the ref stuff.
- 14:22The ref stuff is great. That the ref stuff is like is one
- 14:24of the best part the uh god damn, I said again. The the
- 14:31interview right after a player scores, how do you feel about that? Or
- 14:35a player does something seems kind of hokey? Does it? Because these guys
- 14:39are coming off after this big play, they just want to kind of set
- 14:43I know that, I know they want to see the excitement, but I
- 14:46think you celebrate with your teammates. I think there's gonna be a better way
- 14:48to do it. Maybe maybe do the interviews at the end of the quarters
- 14:52or into the halves rather than the coaches. You just bring in the the
- 14:56players and because they're gonna give you pretty boring stuff. But the coaches all
- 15:03I don't know if you've noticed this, and in almost every every sport,
- 15:07and they do then they do the coach with the interview, you know,
- 15:09halftime or whatever the sport has, and the coaches are just giving them blanketing
- 15:16answers. Yeah, it's it's just I mean, we gotta work at it,
- 15:20we gotta tighten up on the up and we're gonna mean it is a
- 15:24little it's a little blanketed. It's it's boring. And even in the NFL,
- 15:28they need to grab college they stop talking to the coach. Man,
- 15:31I grab one of the players, say hey, coach, can we have
- 15:35this player? Or get grab the assistant, say hey can we get this
- 15:39player so we can you know, talk to him real quick. I can
- 15:41see that instead of instead of what they do, because like I said,
- 15:45the coaches are just giving blanket answers. They don't want to give away any
- 15:50sort of scheme or any anything that they want to really do. Oh,
- 15:52we got to work on third downs. Well that's obvious if you're watching the
- 15:58game. Yeah, yeah, I would do that too. But yeah,
- 16:03the UFL has been way more entertaining. Games. Games are funner to watch.
- 16:11The kicking you definite enjoyed the kicking definitely better. It is, it's
- 16:15getting better. It's not. I mean, you're never gonna get the NFL,
- 16:18and I haven't seen viewership, but it is something that seems to be
- 16:22something that is more relatable to people, and they also think it's going to
- 16:26be not just a one year wonder, which has been so much before hasn't
- 16:32been And you can't establish yourself as a fan base or into a team if
- 16:36you think they're gonna go on a business What the what the USFL did that
- 16:40was intelligence was had, Okay, we've got the teams, everybody's gonna be
- 16:42in one location. We're gonna all play in Birmingham at one location. But
- 16:48they don't do that now. They don't do that now. So then the
- 16:51second year that they were in they had four locations, three locations that they
- 16:55all played at. But this is the isn't this the first year that this
- 16:57is the first year the XFL went, Oh, we're playing everywhere. We're
- 17:02gonna do all of it, and I believe I think they lost money on
- 17:06the spend. So that's why you only see eight teams in this conference.
- 17:11I know that. You know, depending on what happens this year, possibly
- 17:14the next year you will see an expansion. All those uh well, all
- 17:21those owners still own That's what I said. Probably next year, all those
- 17:25owners still own those franchises, so they can bring them back in. The
- 17:30franchise is literally just on hold. But it's a good development. And you
- 17:34know, there's kids that don't make it in the NFL from college to go
- 17:38there learn to play because they've even taken some of the what they're using the
- 17:45XFL kickoff rule in the NFL this year, So we're gonna see how that
- 17:48goes. It's a test test, it's a test. No, if you're
- 17:55not watching the NFL, then you know you're missing out. And by the
- 17:59way, European League of Football starts May twenty fifth, that is the old
- 18:03NFL Europe. Yeah, that's so, you got summer football coming. I
- 18:08have not even kept up with ELF. You got the ELF coming. I've
- 18:12not kept up with that. Oh it's they're in their fourth year and they're
- 18:17expanding, so something's going wrong. Obviously, when we get talk a little
- 18:21bit about the NFL, we'll talk about the game. Yeah, we'll talk
- 18:23about the schedule over there. Yes, the Bears finally have a stupid London
- 18:30a German game. I can't remember where they're going, but they got to
- 18:33play the Jaguar, so it's probably London. I hate that. They shouldn't
- 18:37have to go all that way. All right, let's move on, let's
- 18:38talk. You're gonna move on to U. We'll give a quick update if
- 18:42you're gonna pull up the NHL stuff. Quick update. The Thunder now down
- 18:48by twelve. Looks like they're just you said, NHL. Well no,
- 18:52but go to NHL. But I wanted to give an update on the score.
- 18:53Forty to twenty eight was the match. So it's just and they're not
- 19:03playing good defense. And we'll get to that in a minute. Oh,
- 19:07it drives me nuts watching them stresses me out. All right. So I
- 19:08got an argument with exactly the other night about what the most entertaining series has
- 19:12been so far, and I said, the Canucks oilers. It has become
- 19:19now with even even when they started game one and game two, they were
- 19:25the most entertaining. I don't know, I have I thought the Stars at
- 19:30that's been the most surprising because the Stars have played so well and they're up
- 19:33three to one, and now because you're fast, have not done well.
- 19:37And then you look at the Hurricanes. They were down three to nothing and
- 19:40they've won the last two games to make that somewhat of a series. And
- 19:44they have. I've watched that as Stall and all those guys have come alive
- 19:48for that, and they'll play tomorrow at Carolina for Game six. Yes,
- 19:53they tie that up. The pressure really gets put on or when it comes
- 19:59down to it doesn't. It does three games and nothing that they are the
- 20:03favorite, they want the President's Cup, they had all that, and I
- 20:08think that that puts the pressure on them in game seven where the Hurricanes Carolina
- 20:15team has been in the playoffs more than the Ranger team. Oh no,
- 20:22I I no, I agree with that, But I just think that the
- 20:23pressure is on the Rangers because of because of the three to zero lead.
- 20:27I mean that that's what killed it right there. But you're right, Canucks
- 20:30Oilers, it's now tied to to uh, and I've been watching that series.
- 20:34I've watched all four of those games at work as much as I can,
- 20:37and that's definitely gonna be one of the most that has been one of
- 20:41the funnest. Now, if Boston can beat the Bruins, even though even
- 20:44though Zach hates McDavid, if Boston can beat the Bruins, it says to
- 20:48be announced. Why aren't they playing tomorrow? To be determined? I think
- 20:52the time is what's so they should be playing tomorrow? No, they might
- 20:56be next day. No, I told you that they did this switch.
- 21:00Okay, so the show. But Florida up three too. If Boston beats
- 21:07them, then you look at they have Fridays whenever that series. Okay,
- 21:15first Sean, go back to that. So Friday, the Panthers and Bruins
- 21:18will play Game six Stars. What is what game would that be? Should
- 21:25that'd be Game six? Okay? So what's the Stars score right now?
- 21:29I saw two to one? But then I saw an update? Are we
- 21:30looking at three to two Avalanche right now? Avalanche after the third? Yeah,
- 21:37they just started the Okay, so Avalanche currently is up three to two
- 21:41right now. It's a must win, obviously, they can close the series
- 21:47out. The Stars can't at home, So somebody knocked the pucket, all
- 21:52right, Otherwise that'll be it, so that when we talk next week,
- 21:56we'll have the the uh and I have just said final five to say,
- 22:00the T and T's intermission team is one of the funniest I know. There's
- 22:04the guy the must I I forgot what is that you don't like? But
- 22:08those guys have been going at each other. Oh they're much better than those
- 22:12better than the ESPN. They've been going at each other. So they were
- 22:17just showing this. I mean T and T really has as the best crews
- 22:19on both sides of the basketball. You know, we'll talk a little bit
- 22:25about basketball. Is we say, we can segue into that it looks like
- 22:27NBC is gonna put a major bid in for the basketball and that means T
- 22:32and T and that crew will be done because Ernie's not gonna leave. Ernie's
- 22:36not leaving T and T. Know what I'm saying is you said putting a
- 22:38bid in four to two? Just avalanche? Just all right? So so
- 22:41what are you looking at with the Stars apps Is it gonna get shut out
- 22:45tonight or are they gonna go Game six and then done. Yeah, I'm
- 22:51afraid so, because you know, I've watched the Stars and I've talked about
- 22:52Stars have always had good defense, good goalie. Their offenses look so much
- 22:57better this year than I've seen it in past years. Looked much faster.
- 23:02The Stars are fast and physical, yes, and they have a better goalie
- 23:06Avalanche in the off season. That I think is their weakness is their goalie.
- 23:10To be honest, I just do. I've watched them, and well,
- 23:12you remember last season as much as we dogged on now we're talking about
- 23:15they're gonna have four goals tonight. You remember how much we dogged on Bravoski
- 23:21over in Florida last season when they came up would they technically were the number
- 23:27eight seed is what it was, and they ended up going to the finals
- 23:33the Stanley Cup and playing Vegas. We dogged on Bros. But one of
- 23:38the one of the one seeds this year, so they weren't that far off.
- 23:41I mean, I think it was just one of those deals that the
- 23:45team had improved. There was improvement. Colorado beat the Jets though three games
- 23:49to one, and the Jets were a favor in that there was a lot
- 23:52of people, these professionals that think they know anything about hockey. Avalanche had
- 23:57have been continuously going to the playoffs. The Jets, I think it was
- 24:02their second year in, wouldn't it. Did they they went? Did they
- 24:07go last year? I remember? I think they did. Anyways, I'm
- 24:11looking for the Canucks Whelers to go seven games and the Wheelers to come out
- 24:17on that. That's just a back and forth. That's just a rubber match
- 24:21right now. I'm really wanting the Hurricanes to take the Rangers out. I
- 24:26think the Rangers. I don't think the Rangers go out until they play either
- 24:32the Panthers or the Bruins. I think the Metropolitan Would you say that game
- 24:37is Friday Panthers and Bruins, that's the game six tomorrow, so and that
- 24:44potentially could add the Panthers are looking to knock the Bruins out. And anybody
- 24:49listening if you think it's Marshaw's injured so hopefully he comes back from that.
- 24:53You don't watch the playoffs. It's it is an exciting brand. It's exciting
- 24:57sport to watch. Too fast for me. Moves moves fast. You've got
- 25:04to pay attention. I am used to games being slower. If if anybody
- 25:10can see our picture, that was when me and Kenny had to watch his
- 25:15son. We did Doug his son, So that's his That's me on the
- 25:18top there doing the podcast and his son laying in bed with a hurt because
- 25:25he's hungry even though he'd been eating all night long. I didn't understand.
- 25:32So, yeah, who do you got favorite? Who he think is gonna
- 25:34win? Though I don't know. Just from what I've watched, the Panthers
- 25:38look really good and I'm gonna take man. I hate the Canucts Stars.
- 25:45If they match up in the Western Conference, I like that matchup because they're
- 25:49about the same. I think the Stars could be well. You realize that
- 25:52if Vancouver goes to uh, I don't know why, we'll have kind Canadian
- 25:59But if you were that Vancouver goes to the Stanley Cup and loses again,
- 26:03they're gonna burn the city again. You remember that year that they went well
- 26:07and they lost, They burned the city. And you know that's the disappointing
- 26:11thing is you had to have two Canadian teams knock each other out to now
- 26:18go to Hey, there were more teams in There was Winnipeg, there was
- 26:23and Toronto US they lost, they took they went seven games with the Bruins.
- 26:29There was and I think that's probably what hurt the Bruins was the fact
- 26:33that they got beat up in that game. They got beat up in that
- 26:36series. Yeah, but they win. I mean, it's it's it's it's
- 26:38one, you know, one game, one game, So I mean it's
- 26:41kind of one of those deals. Whereas Florida had a little time to set
- 26:45because they went forward to one against the Lightning, correct, I mean,
- 26:51of course the Capitals. Of course, of course, update real quick before
- 26:55we get into We're going to go to basketball right now. Stars just scored,
- 27:00so it's four to three. Now Avalanche, sorry, would segue to
- 27:03basketball. Currently thunder losing by eleven. What's happening to your thunder storms are
- 27:14rolling through Oklahoma? But some there's some thunder not rolling in Oklahoma? All
- 27:19right, for let's move on. Yeah, so all right, let's let's
- 27:25move on to basketball. We give the update on the Thunder and Mavericks two
- 27:26two one close out tonight Celtics the top seed and has expected uh finished up
- 27:34the Calves. The Calves to Night one, thirteen to ninety eight. No,
- 27:37Donovan Mitchell had a calf spraying again. Kind of figured that was gonna
- 27:41be you know, I really killed the calves. Lebron went to the game.
- 27:45Is that not the one that they won or did they win before?
- 27:48I don't know. They just saw the picture of Lebron at the game,
- 27:52and I'm like, why Lebron, what do you do? He's been a
- 27:53lot of thunder there, a lot of talking. What are you trying to
- 27:56get? Bran? Yeah, so we got Nuggets won last night? They
- 28:03now and I think that turned out to be fantastic. I mean, what
- 28:11about you say that's fantastic? What about the Knicks? I don't necessarily think
- 28:18that that's been as great now. Game six will be at the Pacers.
- 28:22Pacers always played better at home. Brunson has been unbelievable for the Knicks.
- 28:27I mean, I picked the Knicks to go out against against Philadelphia. Obviously
- 28:30you disagree, and you got it right on that and and you got that
- 28:36one. But I think that Brunson, his play has been unbelievable. I
- 28:40mean, and never when I thought that guy, even watching him at Villanova
- 28:41and he goes into the NBA, that he would be that type of guy.
- 28:45But he's like playoff brunts. I mean he's turned in now. Pacers,
- 28:49Uh have some talent Halliburton, Pascosakim. They they they have the talent
- 29:00to win, and they always play better at home. It's just their defense
- 29:02is horrible. You look at the games that they've lost against the Knicks.
- 29:06I mean it's been one twenty one was one of they lost. And yeah,
- 29:11so you look at those scores. Let's look at those scores and so,
- 29:14uh, Pacers beat them. One twenty one is what the Knicks scored
- 29:21and then one one again for game one. Now they're keeping up with them,
- 29:25somewhat close. But the last three game, last game, the last
- 29:27three games have been much different with each other. Pacers. But I've enjoyed
- 29:33that. No, it's been fun to watch Celtics. Haven't watched The one
- 29:37thing I wanted to say about the thunder Mavericks was the thunder in the second
- 29:42period just seemed to not that's where they fall apart right before halftime. Well,
- 29:49we can talk about thunder right now. No, that's what that's what
- 29:52I said. We we kind of jumped out of that. Well, let's
- 29:56talk a little bit there. Scoring in the second let's back up. Let's
- 30:00close with them. When we talk about basketball, let's talk about Nuggets and
- 30:02Timberwolves. Timberwolves. Timberwolves went up two games and nothing, won both games
- 30:07at Denver, and now Denver's won three in a row, two at their
- 30:11place and one last night. And I think there's been some good Mike Malone,
- 30:15the coach of Denver, is very underrated. I picked the Timberwolves and
- 30:19and and the defense has not come through from what I thought they would be.
- 30:25And you know, they're young, they're young. You know next Timberwolves
- 30:30are old. They're one of the oldest teams in the league. They are.
- 30:33You just look at Anthony Edwards as being young. That's what everybody thinks
- 30:37about. But you've got go bear, You've got cat, I mean,
- 30:40you've got you know, so you've got some age there. They're they need
- 30:45to start winning now. And then you're going to talk about does Anthony Edwards
- 30:48And I'm not starting any rumors, but when when his time is up there
- 30:53you talk about one of the biggest free agency in history. If he doesn't
- 30:56want to stay there, and they will and he would maybe take it,
- 31:00Well, here's what you do. And they don't have any first round picks.
- 31:03You remember how many picks they give up for Gobert to Utah just to
- 31:07get him. But here's the here's the problem with the NBA. They got
- 31:11so much f you money you know they get they get guys. How many
- 31:17guys in the league are on those weird max contracts A bunch. Where's all
- 31:22this money overseas? But that money though, and then when you're with that
- 31:26team and resign, that is the bonus you get the more money I know,
- 31:30you know what I mean. So we figured out how baseball does it.
- 31:33They do all those weird contracts where they uh, you know, extend
- 31:36the money. They do the what was it called the oh you're talking about
- 31:41like baseball? They's like a retirement plan. Yeah, essentially, they do
- 31:47deferred payment. They do deferred payments so you still get paid, but they're
- 31:51like, hey, we're gonna take this and and stick it back. So
- 31:53we know how baseball is doing theirs. NBA is not doing that the same
- 31:56way. They just but they somehow just to have all this money to to
- 32:02pay max contracts to guys. You don't see that in football. And football
- 32:06you're looking at guys, you're like, okay, we need this guy to
- 32:08make this, but hey, we're gonna need you to rework that contract so
- 32:15that way we can get these other guys in two years, two to three
- 32:17years. And you got so many you know, exemptions and stuff like.
- 32:21I think that's where you have I meant, that's where you find well,
- 32:25I think you had said this earlier. You got more rookies coming in.
- 32:28You got but you use a running back for five years and then it's maybe
- 32:31you keep it, maybe you don't. Oh, football is definitely That's what
- 32:36I'm saying that basketball, it's football is a sport. As a star and
- 32:42rookie league, a lot of in betweens are forgotten about. They're needed.
- 32:45I remember they look at the better teams that have won. They've gotten very
- 32:50lucky on some of the rooks. I can't remember, like the Chiefs they
- 32:52won. They drafted anyway back to base basketball, and I can't remember.
- 32:55It was with you or somebody else, and we were sitting there looking and
- 32:58we're looking at these guys getting max on tracks in basketball. We're like,
- 33:00who are these guys? Yeah, some of that happens, yes, I
- 33:05mean you look at lower tier teams that can't get those good players. Bulls
- 33:08have been that got Alonso, they picked up Lonzo's. So you look at
- 33:14those contracts and they sign in the max and you're like, dang, who
- 33:15are these people? But in basketball you got to spend so much, you
- 33:21got to get to a certain threshold. And it's not like they have a
- 33:23shallower a pool of talent because you've got to understand, you've got guys playing
- 33:29in China, Europe, Australia. There's so many leagues, so many by
- 33:36the ads. I think there's African basketball leagues now for sure, So you
- 33:40don't have a shallow You've got a bigger pool of talent than almost baseball,
- 33:45because you gotta think baseball's played in a lot of other countries too. The
- 33:51South American and Caribbean doin all that, so you know where are you going
- 33:58there? All right? So ended up Maverick Thunder halftime score fifty four to
- 34:00forty four, Thunder down by ten. This is game five, they're at
- 34:06home. It would be a nice game to win. I think the winner
- 34:07of this game really takes the advantage. Yeah, exactly. It looks like
- 34:14Luca's leading with seventeen points. Jay Gill's got ten. That's jiggless obviously offensively,
- 34:22but obviously for the Thunder, forty four points and two quarters has been
- 34:25very below their average. As far as obviously saying there's second So we're talking
- 34:30about the Thunder a little bit. Well, they both scored low points.
- 34:34I thought the Thunder obviously everyone knows the Thunder's biggest problem is rebounding. They
- 34:38need an interior person. I mean, Chetz is a guy that could come
- 34:42out and end, but he's not a grinder in the middle. They need
- 34:45to go for a center coming up. But you were afraid Zach Edy was
- 34:49gonna end up, Well, they can get him in the second round of
- 34:51him, We don't. But anyway, we got Thunder, did get the
- 34:53twelfth pick, got the Rockets pills and then the Rockets actually got better.
- 35:00That that was they got the third pick, and that was from the That
- 35:05was from the Nets. San Antonio fourth Pistons got screwed again, one of
- 35:09the worst records in the league, and they're picking fifth again. They have
- 35:13no ping pong luck. Well, this is what I'm saying is when I
- 35:15had the ping pong crap. No, but it makes it fun Sandy Santie.
- 35:20San Antonio has the eighth pick and the second third I'm sorry, fourth
- 35:24pick, fourth, fourth, fourth, and eighth pick because they also had
- 35:29the eighth pick from the Raptors in a trade. Memphis is nine, Utah
- 35:35is number ten. Uh, there's the Bulls getting Cody Williams. Cody Williams
- 35:38is actually the brother of Jalen Williams. For the thumb is this this doesn't
- 35:43have this is all? This is all the the uh what am I looking?
- 35:50Word? The word projected? Right? Yes, it's just this is
- 35:53just projected. No, the draft numbers are correct. No, No,
- 36:00I know the numbers are. I'm talking because they kept seeing names and I'm
- 36:02like, that doesn't make it. No, that's just that's just projected.
- 36:05But the draft numbers are correct. And then I think the Thunder give up
- 36:08their their that was the one that went to Utah. That's correct because we
- 36:14were watching that last season. Because they had multiple picks in the first round
- 36:20for three four years in a row. It goes on for all and that's
- 36:24why I think it's it's time for the Thunder to really make a move with
- 36:27a lot of those picks and trade for a big guy, someone like Karl
- 36:30Anthony Towns. Not that he's coming to or Oklahoma. Oh. But you
- 36:35know what I'm saying, They need a guy in the middle. We need
- 36:37Steven Adams when we used to have five six years ago now and we just
- 36:42ain't got it because the offensive rebounding is not there, the interior presence is
- 36:46not there. And the thunder one thing that I've noticed that they they've seemed
- 36:50to play timid in the second round as far as offense, I'm just shooting
- 36:53and their defense is trash. I don't know if that coach is that way
- 36:58to have a big guy who's coach. He's really good. I mean,
- 37:02he is good, but it doesn't but it doesn't but it doesn't need But
- 37:08it doesn't need to be a guy that you go to as the offensive guy.
- 37:13You just need a guy to be rebounding and have a defensive presence because
- 37:16you look at the teams that have been winning, have big guys that are
- 37:21going to knock them around, and the offensive rebounding is killed. Oklahoma City
- 37:24in this in this series, I just want to say the words offensive linebacker
- 37:30anyway, offensive rebounding is killed. They've had terrible second periods on their thirds
- 37:37worst you know tonight they need to come out. But they've been timid shooting
- 37:43the ball. I mean, they need to be shooting the three point more,
- 37:45I think, and quit worrying about trying to. I mean they move
- 37:49fast. That's what they did well in the preseason. Jalen Williams, in
- 37:52my opinions, had a really off before before whenever it was like we have
- 37:58to face says it's based the Mavericks. That's been the thorn in Oklahoma city
- 38:04side and Mavericks is one of the teams that like White Sox have been to
- 38:07the Cleveland Guardians, the White Sox or yes, the White so Good.
- 38:14But the Mavericks had come into the playoffs plan as one of the best teams
- 38:17even though they were only four seed. You know, they had some injuries
- 38:21early. It wasn't indicative their their record was not indicative or play that is
- 38:24correct now. I know I knew that coming in and I know that.
- 38:29What uh, I just really thought our speed in the the the the not
- 38:35just the speed we've seen, but you talk about the speed alone, but
- 38:40the intensity because you've got Kyrie Irvin, you've got Luca Donks and and they're
- 38:46older teams that don't they're older guys that don't move as fast. But then
- 38:51you've got PJ. Washington scoring thirty points twenty five. Who is this guy?
- 38:53I mean, he's making money in the playoffs right now, and the
- 38:55thunder just keep allowing him to shoot the hold on. It's a very familiar
- 39:02name. I'd never heard of him, unless I'm thinking to p J.
- 39:06Walker. Oh wow, Oh he's coming up because he's playing a night and
- 39:10he's been just shot right up there he's been he's been running. That team's
- 39:16twenty five years old. Oh he was one of Calibari's guys. Yeah,
- 39:24so tonight he's gotten zero points. But then you look at the other games
- 39:29and how much he's scored before. So, oh, do you see the
- 39:31lights? Sorry, everybody, our lights are We're in the middle of the
- 39:36storms. They are coming storm Central and the lights just did a little bit
- 39:39bit of bibity. All right, So there's your there's your final light for
- 39:43basketball. Let's move on to Charlotte. Let's move on to uh we wanna
- 39:50talk about now, PJ. No. I was just looking at PJ.
- 39:52Washington. I knew that I knew this guy. His name was really familiar.
- 40:00So you don't remember from the Hornets. No, but look, he
- 40:04then scored a career forty two points on the Kings, and then he scored
- 40:08forty three against the Thunder. It's like he owns the Thunder. It was
- 40:12he was with Kentucky. He was with that Kentucky team that wanted about two
- 40:16years three seventeen nineteen. Oh, that kind of counted this. So yeah,
- 40:28you don't hear about his early life. No, really, let's move
- 40:32on. I guess we can start touching each other on our NFL schedules.
- 40:38Well, let's you wanna close with that? Are you wanna close with my
- 40:42notes? I got a bunch of little notes. All right, everybody,
- 40:44we're gonna listen to Kenny's notes. I'm gonna go to sleep. No,
- 40:45I just have a few things, just some local things, local things you
- 40:50might have missed. Retire golf course is cleaned up and has limbs have been
- 40:53trimmed. Uh so, everybody that needs to everybody that's looking for a nice
- 40:58skills course out there. There you go. General Booty uh oh, transferred
- 41:04this last week Iowa. No he's not Monroe. Okay, No, they
- 41:10are projecting would probably go to so anyway, Yes, he was looking at
- 41:15Iowa. Jeff Fisher, former Rams and uh Chicago bear. He was a
- 41:21Bear, but we coach at the Rams, Oilers and the Michigan Panthers.
- 41:27He is currently the interim commissioner of the Arena Football League right now. Yes,
- 41:30he should not be coaching. He's not even good. Well, you
- 41:36saw you could see his arc and he hit that arc and came down.
- 41:39And when you can't win at Michigan Panthers, you're done. So okay,
- 41:45he turned that team over. The funny thing about it was, I can't
- 41:49remember his first or second year of the league, and he just turned him
- 41:52over. He goes, I'm done. I can't do it before you in
- 41:57fire me. So here's this guy. So then we have Arena Tulsa,
- 42:04the Tulsa what is the Tulsa Arena Football League, the Mallers, because that
- 42:10just started, didn't it. Are they back? Yes? I thought they
- 42:15were the Oilers or something. They use the same name. I can't spell
- 42:20Arena, it says Ariana. Yeah, they're the Tulsa Oilers. So that
- 42:25has kicked off, I believe, or it is about two Yeah, May
- 42:30eleventh was they started. They brought back the old Iowa Barnstorms, that is
- 42:37one of the original. Yes, I wonder if they brought in the old
- 42:42Rattlers. That was another that was a team I liked watching the Arizona Rattlers.
- 42:45So is this the Arena Football League? Right? Yeah? This is
- 42:49this is When does Tulsa play next? Well, that's not a hit schedule,
- 42:54but I don't know what. There's three and four okay, so March
- 43:00twenty second would be the next game. Frisco Flighters March twenty second, that's
- 43:06a loss. Okay, dude, us, thank you. Show eighteenth San
- 43:13Antonio Gunslingers. That's in San Antonio. I said, when's the next one
- 43:16in Tulsa? There go the strike Force? Oh boy? And then you
- 43:23got the Sue Falls Storm. I think Sue Falls was in the Green Blade
- 43:30Blizzard. What the what the Queen, the Green Bay Wizard and the quad
- 43:35City. Quad City was an original And I don't think they were the steam
- 43:37Wheelers. I think no, they were. Remember it was the Tulsa Talons
- 43:40played them. It was it was hey. Speaking of news about that,
- 43:44former Tulsa Talents coach Skip Foster passed away last week. Shoot. Also,
- 43:49yeah, in news about the city, where is that at? It's pure
- 43:53Illinois. There's some Iowa towns. I think it's like four towns put together.
- 44:00I was thinking to the Bowser City. No, they're up in Illinois.
- 44:05That area could Massachusett p Rates. There was a coming that's on the
- 44:09nineteenth of July. We're looking to go to some of these games. Uh,
- 44:15we need to try to go. Actually we went the you mean it's
- 44:17been along? That was that? That was the Tulsa Talents fame. It
- 44:21was the talents But was it because they played Boser City and that's been good
- 44:24enough from the University of Tulsa. Was quarterback and we got to see the
- 44:28X Dallas Cowboy quarterback was playing for Bosier City, the black guy, the
- 44:37Carter Quincy Carter. Yeah, and we finally understood why he had flamed out
- 44:42of the league because it was bad, so bad. Well, and that
- 44:46was man, that is such a fun and just so fast. Yeah,
- 44:53because you always have their rule is you have to have a guy moving at
- 44:57all times, wide receiver, running back, something like, you gotta have
- 45:00a guy moving at all times. What are you looking at? Im?
- 45:05Just go ahead, No, I'm just trying to figure out what you're looking
- 45:07at there now, I was looking at I heard some news about local softball
- 45:14coach and I'm trying to figure out. Now we get into an argument about
- 45:17losing oh u's basketball coach. But she didn't end up going for the Iowa
- 45:23position, I know, but we had talked about that. I thought that
- 45:29would be well. It was concerning when blood retired that but with that assistant
- 45:35coach assistant coach there, I mean, I can see that, and I
- 45:42wasn't really worried about it. But but yeah, Blooder retired from Arias State,
- 45:47one of the one of the best female coaches and in the in the
- 45:53in the n C Double A, and we there was was worried that Kenny
- 46:00had that since our current basketball coach was in Iowa state alum, that she
- 46:06would be end up going there. And she ended up not right. Oh
- 46:10no, no, they hired the assistant. Yeah, you're always worried about
- 46:15when these uh I watched them the schools, Jenny Bransak Branzac, I know,
- 46:22but you're always worried about when these they she is really building something special
- 46:30at that school and and and it's hope and I hope that they'd be able
- 46:35to keep her anyway. Now, Oh, the Tulsa Oilers. We didn't
- 46:39even talk about the hockey team because they record also closing our sue Our local
- 46:50college lost and regional championships to Augustana College three to two yesterday and six to
- 46:55oh today. So that puts Augusta is how I'm gonna erg gust Tanna.
- 47:01Either way? Could you you know the town that that would be? You
- 47:07would thank you, George august to A U g U s t A n
- 47:09A. So the first place I thought was Georgia. Don't google it.
- 47:14I want you to guess. So it's not Georgia. So I give you
- 47:16a hint there. I know. No, it's and you won't get it.
- 47:21It's Sue Falls. It's Sue Falls, South Dakota. Is the college
- 47:27august august Tana University. There it is Sue Falls, South Dakota. They
- 47:31beat they beat our local Uh which one am I looking for? Right there?
- 47:37I had to look it up myself. I was like, I don't
- 47:39know where that's app But anyway, I looked at him yesterday because I know
- 47:42the game was going and uh, because I drove by it and they were
- 47:46getting ready to load up or start the game. And then and then they
- 47:51lost today six nothing so but anyway, good season uh for them? Just
- 47:58god, do you know who's an alumni? Who's that? Mary Hart?
- 48:01Oh? Nice Mary Heart? Yeah, t there we go. Because we
- 48:07didn't have entertainment as children. Well, our entertainment was whatever our parents watched
- 48:10and we didn't have cable, so that came on channel six, that's true
- 48:14six and Tulsa area. So well, CBS, CBS. There we go.
- 48:17All right, that's all I have for that. So let's close up
- 48:20with the schedule has been released NFL schedule. I'm trying to bring that up,
- 48:27but no, I mean, it's it's it is what it is.
- 48:29Now. I do want to highlight one thing that the Cowboys and Browns open
- 48:32the season on Fox. Who's got the easier schedule? Cowboys at Browns and
- 48:37Tom Brady will make his appearance. It'll be the first game that he calls
- 48:42as the NFL minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, six times Super Bowl
- 48:46champion. Uh, there was somebody he didn't ask him about playing for the
- 48:52Raiders. I don't know if that's legal. It is illegal, it isn't
- 48:55legal. Used to be used to be able to be a player owner.
- 48:58Well, Yeah, you could be the kicker quarterback in the owner. Yeah,
- 49:00that's George exactly, Mister George Blowie's punter, wasn't he mister George Bland?
- 49:10So what so did you get a chance to even peel over that at
- 49:15all? What the schedule? Yes, okay, so I didn't know.
- 49:19We know, we didn't really look at where there were four UK games and
- 49:22the Bears finally have to do it after it went six years of doing this.
- 49:27But the Jacksonville Jaguars and I don't understand why have become the team in
- 49:32in London. I know that for sure and everybody because you saw the draft
- 49:38was a British guy that came out and did one of the draft picks for
- 49:42the Jaguars. Let's talk a little bit about the International Series right now September
- 49:45six, which is gonna be Now they didn't do the Mexico City, did
- 49:52they, But they've been talking about because it's supposed to be Kansas City was
- 49:54doing a Mexico City. Yeah, so NFL September six, Packers and Eagles
- 50:00that'll be at South Paulo and is I do not? And then we've got
- 50:07Jets and Vikings October sixth that'll be at London, and then a week later
- 50:12they'll do another game at London. Jags bear, the Jacks are cheating.
- 50:15But did Jacks do that? They did that last year. They stayed,
- 50:17They stayed and had another game and then and then bad and then Patriots at
- 50:22Jaguars will be the week after that at Wimbley Stadium. Giants Panthers and the
- 50:30Giants Panthers get that's the Germany game and that's wow, that's just not a
- 50:34good matchup. What do we just send our two worst teams to Germany?
- 50:39So they're bringing the New York flavor, but they could have brought another but
- 50:44I know, but well, so they went to they wanted. I know
- 50:46they wanted, uh, Mexico City because there is future talk of a team
- 50:52being in Mexico City. I agree, and the same but well, hold
- 50:58on, now, NFL Europe was there, Oh, I know, I
- 51:01know that, But we're talking NFL. We're not talking failure. I know,
- 51:06I'm well aware of that. You're you're looking at a developmental league versus
- 51:10the pro league. That's correct, because did they not take a guy from
- 51:15Europe? A couple of teams to a couple of guys from Europe in the
- 51:17draft. Yeah, and then we've got one of the developmental leagues. We
- 51:24got one that's coming in for offensive linemen, right, so, Daniel.
- 51:29So those those leagues are there for a purpose, and and I want them
- 51:31to succeed, and everybody else should want them to succeed as well. You
- 51:37need that, You need that developmental league, you need that. I don't
- 51:42know. I mean, you're gonna get some, but I think developmental league
- 51:45really to us and always be. The NFL is going to be college football,
- 51:49and as much as we've seen how much that has not translated, and
- 51:53they want to and they you know, they'll play games against you know,
- 51:55they're going to have a game during the playoffs. I want the Pro Bowl.
- 51:59I really want the Pro Bowl to be the old NFL Championship game where
- 52:04the winning team played the College All Stars. So why can't the Pro Bowl
- 52:08end up being NFL All Stars versus College All Stars? Interesting stats there.
- 52:17The Chiefs will play on six of the seven days this week. Six of
- 52:21what seven days of the week? Okay, they'll play the only game they
- 52:27don't Tuesday. They'll play a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Wednesday,
- 52:32Christmas Christmas, so we went over the international. You've got the Thanksgiving
- 52:39Day will be Bears at Lions. That'll be the early game, followed by
- 52:44Giants at Smashed Giants and Cowboys, and the Dolphins will go to Green Bay
- 52:50for the name. I don't I don't like the night game matchup because I
- 52:53think that's a day. That's a day. Those are two day teams.
- 52:55I think that Miami's gonna should have always been Miami's going to struggle and Dallas
- 53:00could be the night game. Well, that's Mike McDaniel's speed offense. Let's
- 53:04speed. No. I just think they lost a lot of defensive players for
- 53:07agency. Didn't do them was it? And you know they didn't do themselves
- 53:09any favors getting rid of Fiago, not letting him have any time to do
- 53:13well. I think that that was a fair I don't think they got still.
- 53:16You know, so NFL also on Christmas Day they're getting done. That'll
- 53:21be a Wednesday, Chiefs at Steelers, which would be great. Uh,
- 53:24and then you'll have Texans. We'll be hosting the Ravens, which is also
- 53:29going to be a great matchup. Well, the Texans still continue that run
- 53:31they had last year. And continue that. And the Ravens obviously that they
- 53:36were the favorite last year and not right now. They were not my favorite,
- 53:40so no, but they were a lot so yeah, so yeah,
- 53:44you stuck. They were not my favorite. All right? Other news?
- 53:52Where God, other news? I'm done. I'm ready to go lightning food.
- 53:59I think that was I think that. Yeah, I think that was
- 54:00all finished. I wanted to talk about Golf signing a four year, two
- 54:05hundred twelve million dollar contract makes it makes him the second per year highest paid
- 54:14quarterback in the league. It was two years, it was one hundred and
- 54:17seventy guaranteed. What was it fifty three million years? Joe Burrow's highest at
- 54:22fifty five, injury prone Joe, Jared Goff fifty three, Justin Herbert fifty
- 54:29two and a half, Lamar fifty two, and Hurts fifty one. And
- 54:32it's like you don't even have some of the better quarterbacks even in the Yeah,
- 54:36where's Brott Purty, Oh rookie contract? Yeah, they'll sign him to
- 54:40about what's that max gonna be for him? Way better than his rookie By
- 54:46the way, you get if you get a seventh round rookie draft contract,
- 54:52it's horrible. No, I mean really, what's what's expectations of that that
- 54:57re signing. I mean, what are you thinking that it's gonna recently?
- 55:01I'm not saying he won't, but what are they going to give him?
- 55:04Oh, they'll give him lower high money, lower high money, well like
- 55:08top top five money, but lower. He'll be like love top five,
- 55:12like Dak Prescott forty Kirk Cousins ish money. Yeah, with Kirk Cousins go
- 55:21into the Vikings money. Yeah, he dropped per year, but overall guaranteed
- 55:25because he's Ja Cutler. Well, no, it's he's Dak Prescott two point
- 55:30h or maybe it's the opposite Jay or he that is Kirk Cousin two point
- 55:37Oh No, Dak is oh no, no, no. You look at
- 55:43Dak and Kirk Cousins Cousins stats are they're pretty They're pretty close. It's it's
- 55:49quite amazing. Actually, Kirk Cousins is Jake Cutler for the rest of my
- 55:53life. No, it is what what did Jay ever take them to Super
- 55:58Bowl? Nod? He ever went to a playoff game? Yes, he
- 56:00did one, one and two, okay, and so what's Kirk one and
- 56:05four? So he's failed four times? More. But this mean he made
- 56:07it. But it means he made it more so he's a better quarterback.
- 56:09You gotta give him a little credit for getting there, don't you know,
- 56:14because he didn't have to go through as many coaches as Jay Cutler did.
- 56:16Remember Jay Cutler was the coach killer. You had Mark Tressman, you had
- 56:21John Fox, you killed Lovey Smith's career. Well, can you admit though
- 56:24that probably the Bears are probably the weirdest coach hiring teams ever? Though?
- 56:29Oh no, I said that the other day that the entire to that entirety
- 56:34of Chicago sports has the worst front office managers and front office workers. I'm
- 56:43talking about from the Bears to the workers, not not the not the not
- 56:46the worker wearers, the management, the management. Yeah, for the Bears,
- 56:51to the Cubs, the White Sox, to the Bulls to the Blackhawks.
- 56:54Worst front offices, they have some of the worst front office is you
- 57:00look at contracts that get put out there, it's some of what Chicago White
- 57:04Sox have, the number five, I think they're they're in the top ten.
- 57:09I remember right for uh for payment for shit. I've never studied that
- 57:16that. Nothing about the Bulls excites me at all every since Jordan's left,
- 57:22all right, all right, that's it. I'll leave one thing. Game
- 57:24Day He's still gonna talk. No Game Day has announced the first two locations.
- 57:30Dublin, Ireland is number one for the Notre Dame, No Warrena State,
- 57:36Georgia Tech. But not what But you were close because the number two
- 57:39visit is a Notre Dame game, but it's not there. It's at college
- 57:44station. So Mike Elko, new coach, first game of the year,
- 57:46gets College Game Day against he does deserve that. That'll be interesting. Maybe
- 57:54that'll be interesting to see that. Look and honestly, look at your over
- 57:59under. It's pretty interesting about what's being released. As far as the season
- 58:01stats, oh you on a lot of sites were third to fourth highest or
- 58:07hardest schedule uh in the nation. And obviously all the SEC teams are in
- 58:12the top. I think Vanderbilt was number one, Arkansas was right there,
- 58:15hardest, easiest, hardest. Oh well, I know when you play them
- 58:17it's easiest. Yeah, yes, So all right, thank you all for
- 58:20joining us. We'll let you go halftime still for the thunder. I think
- 58:24have we started back up yet. I'll pull that up. Let's see if
- 58:29we can give you an update before that. Go before we go there,
- 58:31Sorry, I close the tab because you're rushing me, rushing you, your
- 58:37stats were rushing you sixty five to fifty one. It's turned ugly already still
- 58:43so now it was ugly before fourteen point lead by the Mavericks. Looks like
- 58:47it's gonna be a butt kicking here, all right, So we'll see you
- 58:52for game six. Actually, series might be over by the time it will
- 58:57be, so we'll talk about that, we'll recap this series, and we'll
