One Leg Up Alex and Lou Terminello Preview Super Bowl 59 and React to Stunning NBA Trades on Terminello's Take 2-5-25 · OneLegUpAlex Media

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett on my line right now
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: is Terminello's take. And guess what, louis We're going video
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: moving forward because I think they need to see your
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you know, handsome face and your back hair. And the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: only thing missing is a biscatti all right, so yes,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a little later biscotti taste testing on the show. Anyway, Lou,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we're doing video moving forward. And what a great week
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to kick it off because it is Super Bowl week
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and there's just a lot going on. But of course,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the funny thing is before this week started, we got
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the big trade over the weekend. And you're a big
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: basketball guy, Luca for Anthony Davis. And by the way,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: they've been throwing comparisons out about you know what this
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: trade is like in MLB terms, NBA, NHL terms all that.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I just want to know. Are the Mavericks a bit
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I hate to say cheap, but they don't want to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: spend on the guy? Is that what's happening here?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Alex. It's good to be with you, and it was
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a shocking trade. I don't understand why Dallas did it. Yes,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you heard about Luca being out of shape for the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: last couple of years, but he was out of shape
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: last year. Alex, I hope. I wish all the teams
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I routed for I had a shape players like that.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: He averaged almost thirty four points a game and they
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: got to the NBA Finals. So Saturday night, late Saturday night,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: when I heard that trade, I was in shock. I mean,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: there's no other way to say it. Yes, Anthony Davis
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: is a tremendous player. He's not Luca. He's six years
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: older than Luca. Dantage is going to be the lakers
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: next star, as we know. I don't know why they
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: didn't open it up more Ifallas Dallas, that is, if
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: they wanted to trade Luca, but they probably kept it
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: quiet so they could trade Luca without a lot of
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of red tape.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And you know, people have been telling me, Lou, oh,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: what do you mean, it's putting the Lakers back on
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the map. They've always been on the map, Yeah, but
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: this puts them in a different level than they have
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: been in the last few years. I mean, they haven't
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: been in the news like we're used to seeing the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Lakers in the news. Now you got Duncans and Lebron
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: on the same team. I mean, look, we could be
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: on the pace for the Knicks Lakers final here, it
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: could be that track we're on Louke.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they can get to the finals.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I don't because obviously there is a transition period they're
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: going to have to fit them in. Obviously he's a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: tremendous player. The thing is, both Lebron and Luca do
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: best when they have the ball in their hands. And
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that's the one thing with Anthony Davis. He didn't have
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to you know, you didn't have to give him the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of the ball in every play. Plus effect, he was
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a rim protector. He's a great shot blocker and the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: outstanding rebounder. I think this trade was made to be
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the next He's going to be the next royalty for
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the for the Lakers. The Lakers who have had you know, hey,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: let's face since they moved from Minneapolis back in nineteen
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: sixty elgind Baylor, then Wes Chamberlain, Kareem Shaq, Kobe Lebron,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and now I mean, there's no team, with the exception
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: of the Celtics, that I've had as many Hall of
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Famers and has as many superstars. It will keep the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Lakers on national TV thirty three times.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: As we saw joke GNA ring with the Nuggets. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: think it'll be only fitting if Duncas was in position
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to get a ring as well. I mean, he is
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: another face of that league. He's got to get the ring.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: It's point. So maybe this is Delopers again.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Very much like the Dodgers have become an international team
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: with Otani and uh with all their recent acquisitions of
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: international players. Same thing with the NBA. I mean, Dodge
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: is an international star. He's a star in Europe.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And then went from Magic because remember Magic keeps pushing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: out all these different things with the ring, with the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: winning it with the Dodgers, now the Commanders now here
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: with the Lakers. I mean, the guy's doing a lot.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Well again, it was it was really the relationship between
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Rob Polinka and a Nico Harrison, who the Jet was
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: jail manager of Dallas. Is a genil matter of Dallas.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: They knew each other from the Nike days.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: That had a lot to do with it, and they
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the fact that they were able to keep it quiet
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: for three four days is remarkable. Uh. Did the Lakers
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: won the trade? The Lakers trade?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Now the question is going to because I think
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: they're still a little down in the standing. So how
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: does this trade affect the rest of the West as
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we move forward? I mean, could they jump up to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that fourth or third seed? Now they're a little behind
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the ball right now?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: They are they are? I think they're twenty Well, they
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: won last night at the Clippers, so they're twenty nine
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and nineteen. I believe they've been a little bit better
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: shaped than they were last year at this time. I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: think they're going to make another trade before the trade deadline,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: which is tomorrow at three o'clock February sixth, So we
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll see what happens that they need to
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: rim protect there.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm here here on the East coast. The
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Knicks have a possibility of getting Durant. Are you hearing
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: any of this? Yeah?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I heard about early this morning. I don't know where
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: they could fit them in, I really don't.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And what would you trade hard? I mean, who you're
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: gonna get rid of because I don't know who else
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you can get rid of on.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: That, because they're not going to get them for nothing.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And I know Phoenix said they would never trade Durant,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: but things change. Durant made a huge mistake. He requested
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the trade out of Brooklyn. Uh the next run the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: verge of getting Siakam and Van Vliet at that time
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: after they after they moved Kyrie.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And I believe that Durant made a huge mistake. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: am surprised Phoenix hasn't worked at all. I mean they've
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: been around five hundred all season. Obviously they didn't do
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: anything in the playoffs. Sports mentioning last year. But again,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: can he get traded? He's not playing tonight in Oklahoma City.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: They say he has an ankle injury. By keeping him
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: out because of a potential trade, I don't know, you
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: know so uh so we'll see Durant to the Knicks. Look,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: as I told you all summer, it's been and right
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: up right up until the last week, a lot of
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: weirdness in the NBA.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Well remember what Carl Anthony was actually in the middle
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of practicing in the Timberwolves gym when he found out
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: he was traded. I mean, this is out wallid and wacky.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It's been.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: It's it's wacky and uh. Like I said that trade
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: didn't make sense to Minnesota. Now I see that that
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Julius Randall is on the trade block. But I also
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: see that Julius Randall is going to be out for
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, so that's that. Does that take
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Julius Randall off the trade block? The Knicks won that trade.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Julius Randall was not going to help them. So this
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: trade with Donk is so strange it makes snow, it
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: makes now rational sense the end. It's a very the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Bridges trade from Brooklyn to the next Yeah, made no sense.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And you said that was the first time. It's eighty
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: three they made a trade, is that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they made a minor trade in eighty three. I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: was there and that was like I said, we don't
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: even talk to them when I was there, And Bobby
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Marx who's on ESPN and said it right away, and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: he was, you know, in the next front office for
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: for two decades, said we didn't even talked to them.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: We didn't call them.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: They call us. It's just a strange trade dynamic. This
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: year again, well look who look at this. The Bulls
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: traded out Zach Levine. I mean, that was a big
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: face of the Bolls. He's gone now. So a lot
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: of changes, and I don't know why the Kings would
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: trade the DeAndre Fox. I mean I don't, But again
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the NBA is is, well, say the least.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: The bigger question here is and we just saw Chris
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Middleton is gonna get traded or got traded? Does this
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: trade open up the floodgates? Like if this guy can
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: get traded, we could trade anybody? Is that what the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: message is here?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Well, with dont just getting traded, that shows anybody to
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: get traded. And middle Kon is physical issues. He was
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: a key part of the twenty one championship team that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the net should have won if they have those injuries
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: in the Conference semis.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: All it took was to be stepped on and that
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: was the end.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: It was just the Kyrie we stepped on and James
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Harden at the hamstring pull and in Game seven at
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the end of regulation, Durant has his toe on the line,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: so and then they lost in overtime.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But even if he comes the next I don't know
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: how he'd be a good fit because they've already got
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the big guy. I mean, I don't know how that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: would work.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: So well, he's a closer and Brunson's a closer. There's
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: no question about that. He's developing to a closer, but
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Durant is a closure at at an even higher level
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: if they can get him. Obviously, there definitely I think
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: they're in the running for the finals now, they would
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: definitely be in the finals. So so we'll see.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: When you were executive, were you privy to any of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: these trade conversations or well, I was.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I never had any input, But what did I did
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I know about some situations that might happen? I did.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: The one I didn't know is when when we got
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Vince Carter, and uh, we kept that under wraps. Nobody,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: nobody knew. Bobby Marks knew obviously, and uh, I remember
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: we had lost the game a couple of nights earlier,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and we had lost Kenyan Martin that off season, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I was, I was upset, and I walked by Bobby
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Marks and the other thing he said to me is
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: you'll be happy on Friday. And then on Friday afternoon,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: out of nowhere we got we got Vince Carter, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Vince Carter saved the season and it was a great net.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: On that note, talk about the retirement of Vince Carter,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: what that meant to see that? I don't know if
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you were there for that or.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: No, I wasn't there. I watched it. A deserving, a
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: deserving retirement of a guy who was a good guy,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, a really good guy. Obviously a great player,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: and you know, he thanked everybody, not only the not
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: only the upper echelons in the organization, and uh, playing
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: with the great Jason Kidd Hall of Famer, but yeah,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I mean he played with he played with all those guys.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: He worked hard, he never took games off. He's a
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: deserving of getting his number fifteen retired in the rafters.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I mean I never forget it because I was sort
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of around the nets because they were Yankee nets at
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that point, right with mister Katz and we still miss
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: him every day, but he would be up there. And
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: then that partnership with the when it was Kittles, it
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: was Jefferson, it was Carter was I mean, those that
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: starting five, it's pretty legendary actually when you think about it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Well, and they and the thing is, they all knew
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: how to run the fast break, you know, and they
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: knew Kid was going to get him the ball, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: that's what that's what made them great. You know, Kid
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: was unselfish. A team was unselfish, you know. Uh, when
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: you have time on YouTube, Vince Carter is dunk in
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Miami right over Alonzo morning. I think it's the greatest
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: stunk in that history, at least in the time I was. Well.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I believe he won a couple of dunk competitions, doesn't well.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did, and his famous stunk on Frederick Rice
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: in Vice in the Olympics, and then Nix ended up
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: drafted who did never play for them. So yeah, no,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: it was a deserving it was a deserving retirement of
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: number fifteen. I'm and like I said, he's such a
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: good dude. He really is.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: And our friend Dave German was at the premiere of
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the documentary, so that's pretty awesome. I mean, yes, like
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a very They really did a nice weekend for him
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a couple of weekends ago. All right, now we got
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to get to this weekend because it is the big game,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and already Goodell's facing criticism this week about the whole
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: refing situation and what and he calls absolutely ridiculous, which
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: he's gonna say. But here's my thought, Lou, I don't
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: mind if the Chiefs win, but if they win it
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: with clean game, not many close calls, I'll be happier.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Let me put it that way.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, I mean I think people people questioning
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: some of those calls in the Buffalo game and some
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: of those calls in the past. I mean, I think
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: it's it's legitimate. Do I think the game is fixed? No,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's fixed. Do I think they lean
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: towards them? I do, I do lean, I think they
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: leaned towards them this week. This is a great game
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: coming up. Yes, what's she fatigued, Yes, we would like
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to have seen Buffalo and Detroit. That would have been
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: that would have been fresh and new and exciting to
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: one of the two teams would have won their first
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl for sure.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: But even the Commanders would have been interesting too. I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: would love to see it in Washington.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Right, and because they hadn't been there, and you know
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: thirty three years with how.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Right and Jayden's electric. I mean that guy, he's more
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: than just as you say, rookie of the year. He's MVP.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I mean he's MVP caliber. This has been a great
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: game coming up. I mean, you got the and we've
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: been saying it all football season long, since we did
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the preview. He goes not the best roster in the league. Alex,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: it's better now than I thought in September there.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's even better than when they beat the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Patriots a few years ago, and of course better when
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: they had that matchup a few years ago against the Chiefs. Correct,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: So it'll be good. And it's amazing because Siriani was
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: on the hot seat last year. Now he's a game
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: away from winning this. I mean, football is funny, and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I think sports is funny like that. But here are
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the two things. And you know the personnel better than me.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing, but I wanted to say, kwalm breakout. Uh,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be. And then the Hurts Mahomes thing is
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: is an attraction to the game, isn't it? Yes?
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And if you remember two years ago until that fourth quarter,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: and yes, the Chiefs got up, did get a favorable
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: call on a holding penalty on James Bradbury which led
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to a touchdown. Jalen Hurts was in man and he
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: was gonna win the MVP. I mean for three hundred
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and seventy four yards. He had a total of four touchdowns.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: So and he and he's coming off his best game
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: against against the Commanders as he as he goes into
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. So, uh, I can't pick against Mahomes
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: until they lose.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And it could it be the egos of six years
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: ago or so when they pulled out that upset against
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I guess it was seven years ago. Now that's crazy
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: against Brady and the Patriots. Can we see that kind
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: of game?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: You could remember in that game Brady threw for over
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: five hundred yards and.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: When they had they had you know, Nick Foles as
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a receiver, and then he gets the cut, I mean
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the Philly special. But let's look at the Barkley Pacheco
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: match up here. I feel like Barkley's obviously significantly favored.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: But is the chief defense going to stop him? That
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be What do you see from them that
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: they could stop Barkley or no, Barkley.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: If he crushes, if he gets twenty carries, he's going
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: to be well over one hundred yards. I don't care
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: who the Chiefs put out there, what defensive scheme Spagnola
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: puts together trying to stop him. The thing is, it's
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: a chief offensive Linelan be able to stop Jalen Carter,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Nolan Smith Junior, Jordan Davis ironically all from the University
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: of Georgia. Their defense is fast, it's young, it's better
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: than the defense of two years ago. It's if it
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: wasn't for Mahomes, I think the Eagles would win. But
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I can't go against Mahomes. And I think the Eagles
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: gotta be ahead by ten, ten twelve points going to
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. I really do, because they can use Barkley.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: To kill the and then they they do have some
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: weapons on the receiving end. I mean aj Brown comes
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to mind.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, they have yes, So, uh, that's what
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I think. I think it's gonna be a terrific game.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: If it comes down to kicking. Harrison Buckner is right now,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: better you know, have some Butler Buter is better than
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Josh than not Elliott. Elliott was a great kicker. He's
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: had a bad year, so.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: That will now He's talk about the defense on because
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: everyone's gonna say, well, how many targets is Kelsey gonna have? Well,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Kelsey did not have a lot of targets in the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: up until last week. I feel like, but I'm sure
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be all over him as well. I mean,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that defense is gonna, know, gonna have him in their playbook?
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: How many how many catches and zach Ertz have Yes,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I know what's fifty five to twenty three? But he
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: caught eleven balls last week. Does that show a weakness
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: in the Philadelphia defensive scheme or in their defensive bats?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Uh? By the way, who win them? That's well six
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: years ago, that's right.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: So I would say that Kelsey is gonna have a
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: significant presence in this game.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Of course, everybody's talking about them, but talk about the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: receivers that the Eagles are gonna have to look out
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: for as well.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, uh, obviously they have Kelsey and they
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: also have their backup tight end who whenever Kelsey retirees,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: is going to step right in. And Noah Gray, a
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: lot of people don't, you know, don't don't uh give
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: him the love that he deserves. Obviously a z if
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: you're worthy that their number one pick has been tremendous.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: And then they come with these guys who they don't
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: throw a lot too. But the great DeAndre Hopkins will
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: make those key catches, Schuster will make those key catches.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Hollywood Brown is now back. Yeah, you know, it's it's
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: a balanced of course, it's a balanced offense.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Right, because Mahomes actually went to them a lot more,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you know from the stat line than he wanted to.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: You know, he's been targeting to all these different guys.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: So we'll have to see how that works out. But
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: obviously the Eagles got here because of their defense and
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: also just because they have a better team. I mean,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I think they have a better team than two years
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: ago yesterday. That makes it. But also Jalen's more mature
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: than he was a couple of years ago, you know,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: so he's he's leading this team, all right, Louis. So
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to make a prediction. But any
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: crazy Radio Row stuff that you've seen already that maybe
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: we didn't catch our eye on this week.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Well I guess I guess some guy in Radio Row
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: was talking to the Jalen Hurts the other day, and
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: uh it was talking about how his girlfriend thinks that
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is so good looking. How do you make
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: how do I get to be more good looking? Was
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the uh, the announcer's question. As you know, there are
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: so many dumb questions on radio Row. And you went
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: to Radio Row when I was here in New York.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did. It was it was quite an event,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: but uh, when it was in twenty fourteen, and then
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I guess uh Mahomes was asked if we to give
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a Kerment impression. I mean these stupid questions that happened.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there were. The questions are dumb. They talked Because
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: you want to know something. The thing that I just
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: brought up to you about that guy asking her, it's
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: about his look His girlfriend likes his looks. He's gonna
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: get clicks.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get clicks.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: He's it's getting replayed them with the fact that we're
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: talking about it now gives that guy credit, not credibility,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: gives that guy attention.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So how about this real quick before we go to hockey.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: And I know we don't really talk politics, but President
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: trobably the first president in Super in history to ever
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: attend the Super Bowl. This guy is everywhere and obviously
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: it might take attention away from Taylor. That's gonna be interesting, right,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: how much.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: That's that's what that's true. We might take some attention
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: away from, uh, from Taylor Swift, who obviously is going
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: to be there. I don't know where she is this sweet,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: but she's definitely gonna be there. And Uh, yeah, it's
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: rte that President Trump is to be there. I think
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: that's I think.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's fantastic the President's gone. That's very too.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Actually, Uh, I never thought of it that way. But
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: when until I said it, I said, oh, well, that's right.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: No presidents ever gone to the Super Bowl. You think
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: a guy like Nixon who was a huge sports fan,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: or or Bill Clinton would attend it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Even Gerald Ford in his Michigan he loved.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: No, he was an I think he was an All American.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Gerald Sward, Oh, you never went either. But we'll have
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to see how that works out. Obviously it's gonna be
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: maybe taking a bit of attention away from the game,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: but we'll have The game.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Is going to be so good. I mean, he got
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: two terrific teams. One thing to look out for. One
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: injury thing. Uh h Cam Jurgons to see. The center
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: for the Eagles got banged up in the in the
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Commander game. Uh and he had to come out for
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: a significant point in the second half with a back injury.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: One of the most underrated injuries in football that we
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: over look when the center gets hurt because he's handling
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: the ball on every snap.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: And it's a chemistry with the quarterback, and.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: The chemistry with the quarterback, chemistry with the entire offense,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: chemistry with the offensive line. So if he has to
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: go out early, if he's not one hundred percent, that
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: could be something to look at. But I think it's
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: gonna be a great game. I'm not going against Mahomes,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: so I guess you can say that's my prediction and
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Philly loses, and like I said, if the Eagles, if
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: the Eagles want to win, they better be twelve to
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: fifteen points ahead going into the fourth quarter.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: By the way, pat Riley has enabled them to use
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a three peat trademark and all that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder how much they paid pat Riley for that.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, NBA coaching legend and whatnot. But Lou,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this, because I always have you
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: on for the history of all of this. Your favorite
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: and rule moment. I know mine because it happened seventeen
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: With my favorite supermol Woman is Easy January twelfth, nineteen
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: sixteen NUS. That's seventeen point underdogs, and you know they
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: beat the the Colts sixteen to seven. It changed pro football.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the Super Bowl would have been
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: what it is today without that victory. It was a
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: thrilling when it was the first win for the AFL
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: against the NFL, and the Packers had won the previous
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: two super Bowls, and they had won the last year
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: of the non super Bowl era, and I'm going to
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: give you a little history lesson on that when they
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: won the first one. This was the last non era
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: super Bowl year. They tied for the Western Conference championship
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: with the Baltimore Colts. The Colts had no quarterback. Both
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: of their quarterbacks, Johnny Unitas and Gary Quaso from New
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Jersey from the Jersey Shore, got injured. They had to
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: play Tom Maddy, their running back, as quarterback in the
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: playoff game because they both finished tied for first out.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: In those days, there was no wildcard. You finished first,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: you moved on. So they played. They played Green Bay
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to break the tie and the winner would be playing
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: the Jimmy Brown the Cleveland Browns next week. Okay, okay,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: so it's ten to Somehow the Culture winning ten to seven,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: but no quarterback. They returned to fumble a bart Star
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: fumble for a touchdown. Shinnick, the linebacker Don Shinnick, the
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: linebacker we turned for a touchdown on the play, bart
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Starr got injured. Their backup quarterback, Zeke Bratkowski came in
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: finished the game. Now, Zeke Brekhowski was a very very
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: good backup quarterback. Well, it's ten to seven. Late in
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: the game, Don Chandler, who used to play for the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Giants now was kicking for the Packers, lined up for
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: a field goal. I think it was thirty seven yards.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: In those days, the goalposts were on the goal line,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: not at the back of the end zone. He missed
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: wide right, but the officials, the officials under the goal
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: posts called it good so instead and they should have
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: lost the game ten to seven. Chandler, if you ever
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: lookated on YouTube, as soon as he kicked it, you
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: could see that in his body language he knew that
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: he missed it. And long story short, in overtime, Green
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Bay wins it, or else they would not have won
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: three NFL championships in a row. So just a little
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: a little trivia and a little bit of history there.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is uh, I mean, that's not even human.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: That's just human error, right, So that's not it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Was human era. And if if you if you look
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: at NFL films and they have the camera behind the
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: goal post. Oh you could see was wide right, which
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: actually led to them the next year. Uh, making the
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: goal post higher.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: By the way, Shout out to the Ravens because the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Colts are still memorialized in Baltimore. You know they still
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: have those guys dress up in old Colts uniform. Is
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: very interesting.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Well they they I think they still use the old
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Colts marching band too.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe so. Now, now here's the other hot topic this week.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, amongst others, are calling for the Lombardi Trophy
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: to call be called the Brady Trophy. Have you heard
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: about this?
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Yes? I have.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Doesn't it drive you nuts? I mean, this is just
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: this was no that I am against this.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: No, it's it. You're one hundred percent correct. Vince Lombardi
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: obviously is one of the reasons why the NFL is
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: what the NFL is today. Uh. He won the first
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: two Super Bowls. It's a Lombardi Trophy and should always be.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: It should be one hundred years from now, it should
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: be the Lombardi Trophy. Give Brady something, should Brady get recognized,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know, give an award and attached the name
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: to uh, you know, to his name to it Brady
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: MVP or something, yeah, something like that, you know. Again,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: but the Lombardi Trophy is in my opinion, Sankra sang,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: it really is.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Untouchable. Yeah, all right, Well, we'll have to see what
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: happens this weekend before I let you go, though, Lou.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: This this week also, we got the Rangers heating up
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: every day, and we've talked about them a little bit,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: but we're almost at that four Nations tournament, so Rangers
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: are in really good shape heading this tournament. Break guard
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: they well.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: They are they they play played better. Obviously last week
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: we talked about the chaos in the Vancouver locker room,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: and since we spoke last Vancouver took care of that
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: issue by trading JT. Miller to the Rangers. The Rangers
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: have won that trade. Yes, you know, Filipedo is a
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: very good player, but he's not on that level and
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: he's injury prone and he's asked concussion, so who knows,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: hopefully will be healthy.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: H JT.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Miller is what the Rangers needed. I think we'll see
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: he gives them scoring touch. He squit one hundred points
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: last year and he scored ninety nine, think the year before.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: He's physical. He's Matt Rempy with talent.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I know you tell me that all fair too, But
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: he also is a legacy player. I mean he was
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: on the Rangers and became beloved here believe it or not,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: before he got traded. I mean, the guy was the
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: future of the Rangers at one point. Now he's back
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: in a maybe more veteran role than he had when
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: he first was on the Rangers. I gotta say this
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: real quick before it lose my mind back to football
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: real quick. Is that it'd be interesting the NFC East
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: once again won the super Bowl against these dynastic teams.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're the best conference because we always
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: beat these dynasty teams. I don't know what it is, lowly, but.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Well, that would be. That would be another NFC East
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: team beating a team of that has established a destiny.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: But getting back to the Rangers, there's seven points to
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: have a playoff spot. Now they have games in hand
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: on Boston. I believe they have three on Boston and
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: then they have one on Tampa and tonight they play Boston.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: As we're rerecording this on everybody where we're going this
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: on on Wednesday, so they gotta win games, but their
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: margin for ERA is thin, just like for the Islanders,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: who have somehow won eleven out of fourteen with all
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: kinds of injuries.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Man, I love that guy. He can coach his way
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: up a paperbag because he's that bit of a coach.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Well right now he's doing that because he doesn't have
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: his best offensive player, and who knows, he may not
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: have him for the rest of the year. I don't
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: know if Barzel when he blocked that shot the other
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: night in Tampa, broke his kneecamp. But you know, the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: NHL never tells you about injuries, and you know they're
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: down defenceman, so that you're right, was done a tremendous jobs.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Brokan's been fantastic for them, and uh, we'll see. I
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna make it. I don't know if
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: the Rangers are gonna make it. I mean I really don't. Uh,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: And we'll see the trade deadlines in March seventh, so
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: we'll see what they do or even the devils. Uh
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: see what the devil's Islanders and Rangers do. What they
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: come up towards the trade deadline, but makes it very,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: very makes it for an interesting post four Nations tournament.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: And the Devils are such an interesting team because with
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Hughes they're still they're there. I mean they're right there.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: They're right there. My worry for the Devils. They have
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: tons of talent. Are they mature enough?
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Nico Hornon man, he's he is another guy, I say,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the future of the Red Devil.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: No, No, and he's injured right now. They got to
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: get Hatcher back and they probably will. Well they will.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Actually that break helps a lot of a lot of
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: the teams. They gotta get a j. March from back.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: And Mink is playing in the Four Nations. Maybe I'll
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: help to get his shot back a little bit.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I think there's four Rangers in the in the Four
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Nations and only only uh Brock Nelson's playing for Team USA.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: For the Islanders, of course, Jack Hughes is playing uh And.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I was looking at tickets. It's expensive to get to
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: these games, by the way, It's not it's not.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: No, it's it's like a Stanley Cup final. Every one
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: of those games.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Well, you know my real quick. My dad in ninety
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: six when they did the World Cup, he took me
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: down there he took me to Montreal, which I see
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: is having this is a venue for this. And he
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: took me down to Philly and we were behind the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: sweetest bench, speaking of Zavanajet. We're by the sweetest bench
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and the coach reaches over and gives me a little
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: pin of the okay.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I went to game one USA USA against Canada and
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: it was the game that the only game in the
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: two AS three that US they lost when Canada was
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: blatantly there was no remember there was no replay in
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: those days, blatantly off side scored the winning goal in overtime.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: And then nobody thought that USA would win both games
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: in Montreal, and they did and Rick To was spectacular.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: He was the MVP at the tournament.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to the juniors who won
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: their you know going and that. You know, when you're
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: watching hockey and you're a big fan, you follow that
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: because you want to see what the kids are that
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: are up and coming.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, a couple and some guys are drafted by
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: the Islanders, some guys draft by the Rangers, some body
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: the Devils, So yeah, you have an interest that way,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: and us Wade went back to.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Back, so very interesting. All right, one last thing before
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: we end today, when are these leagues gonna realize betting
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: linking with betting is not the answer. It is gonna
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: take an MLB player being suspended again and maybe kicked
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: out of the league. Now it's happening in the umpiring
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: world with the guy who called the perfect game as
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: an umpire. I've never heard that one before until recently.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: But one of these leagues are gonna learn, lou you
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: can't match up and then expect these guys not to
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: do something.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: It's it's really unbelievable how they have allowed betting to
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: become such a part of sports. And I know I'm
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: not I know I mentioned this see in the past.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Back in the early nineties when New Jersey want to
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: legalize sports betting, David Stern had had us write a
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: letter to the Senator Bill Bradley, former NBA player, former
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Nick Great Hall of Famer, to fight against against sports betting.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: And there was no sports betting in New Jersey. Now
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: you see it on TV, you see it during games,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: if you go on ESPN, if you go onto the
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: ESPN website. More talking about mahome betting, mahomes versus Jalen
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: hurts on a bating angle than on on what's going
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: to happen during the game on the field. It's really disconcerting.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: And yes, there's no doubt about it. You've gonna see
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: more and more people involved in the game, players, coaches,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: umpires who are going to maybe step over the line
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: and might even commit some kind of betting violation as
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: far as league rules go, that they're not they're not
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: even aware about. Yes, it's a it's a problem. It's
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: a problem.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: And I always go back to this. You know, the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: first MLB team to open up a sports book in
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: their stadium was Cincinnati. Okay, that's that is just egregious.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Pete did Pete Rose file the first bet?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Oh Man? And I know that debate is gonna keep.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: You know, we just were at Hall of Fame signings
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: and you know, Paul Pete Rose is really good at
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: those different events. He go out to all these different things.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: He was great, love him, the fans loved him.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Do I think he paid his debt to society should
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: they have to be put in the Hall of Fame
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: before before he passed away. There's no doubt about it.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I do, But uh, you know, let's face it, there's
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: guys in there who had questionable character doing worse things
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: than people did.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Knowing that this guy got fired right as an unmelobi umpire,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Does that concern you that we have to look closer
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: at how they call these games now? Is that going
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: to be a scrutiny now.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Or well, it puts. It puts something in every fan's mind,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: that's for sure, no question about that. Absolutely it does.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: And I think the second time in my lifetime a
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: ref or an umpire has been fired. Thinking about the
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Donnahie scandal too, I mean, it's been it goes on
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: and probably don't know about it.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: So does go on. I mean, and that is the
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: worst thing that can happen to a sport. Look, if
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: we think the NFL, the NBA, any pro league is
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: like the world is World Wrestling, it will never watch
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: it again. One of the reasons we watched these games
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: is because of because it's reality TV. Sports is the
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: original reality television. That's why we love it. But if
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: we knew, if we knew it was being rigged.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Look at this, If we knew every umpire was trying
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: to avoid the seventh inning because Reggie Jackson was about
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to ask it the queen we we be?
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: That's why I think of I mean like the vision
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: I had was was was Hoburg behind him play Not
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: to make light of this, but it was like a
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: gun to his head to make every call perfect?
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Like what was going on with that? You know?
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: A great a great scene in a great movie.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, fantastic? All right, Lou On that note.
• 36:43
