- 0:27Speaker 2: nails of truth, opinions, predictions acceptable, but not the goal.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Not what we want here, not the goal. I think
- 0:39Speaker 2: you know we'll play it by ear but we we
- 0:41Speaker 2: basically let everything through. I was gonna say no reason
- 0:44Speaker 2: being too strict.
- 0:45Speaker 1: No, but we will. We will.
- 0:46Speaker 3: We will cast a little bit of it aside. We
- 0:48Speaker 3: will never turn it down. We would prefer as many
- 0:52Speaker 3: as as many more though, as you mentioned, just get
- 0:55Speaker 3: the opinion in here, like the opinion the hot take
- 0:58Speaker 3: of Paul Skeins right now, living up to as much
- 1:01Speaker 3: of the hype as he possibly could get.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Drew.
- 1:03Speaker 3: He was into the seventh inning again last night with
- 1:06Speaker 3: another no hitter, struck out the first six. Dude is
- 1:10Speaker 3: nails and our boy Joe Block was posting a bunch
- 1:12Speaker 3: of old posts at night. I know you'll love this
- 1:16Speaker 3: one at night, Paul skiing, you better get him there
- 1:18Speaker 3: in the day. Might be a little bit of a
- 1:20Speaker 3: vampire at night. Five and oh with a point five
- 1:23Speaker 3: to one e r is giving up eight hits in
- 1:28Speaker 3: five stars.
- 1:29Speaker 4: Some guys can't do it during the day, man, Some
- 1:31Speaker 4: guys are you know, night owls, you know what I mean?
- 1:34Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe, hey, now we have to figure
- 1:36Speaker 4: that one out. But uh, I think that's I mentioned
- 1:39Speaker 4: Victor Santos. I think it was in Claudio vargat Bay.
- 1:41Speaker 4: You'd never know. That's the time to get him. Maybe,
- 1:43Speaker 4: so that's when we got him, if you guys remember them.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Yes, there.
- 1:49Speaker 4: Is the Brewers game on Thursday of day game. It
- 1:52Speaker 4: is Thursday's a day game. Yep, yep, yeah it is.
- 1:57Speaker 3: And I don't think they have a I don't believe
- 1:59Speaker 3: they haven't an out starter quite yet. For oh no,
- 2:02Speaker 3: that's Friday night that they don't have an announce start.
- 2:04Speaker 3: It'll be Harrison coming up on Thursday party. Okay, that's
- 2:06Speaker 3: all right.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven nine four seven three Hot take
- 2:12Speaker 2: Hot Takes predictions.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Whatever you want, here's one for you.
- 2:16Speaker 2: I don't know if this is a hot take or not,
- 2:17Speaker 2: but it's just like reading the winds, if you will.
- 2:21Speaker 2: And there's suspensive talk, and guys are expanding, and the
- 2:23Speaker 2: Shamses and the sam Amix and they're talking about how yeah,
- 2:26Speaker 2: this has been brewed for a while, and we're are
- 2:29Speaker 2: we prepared for Jannis to leave? Are we prepared for
- 2:33Speaker 2: the I don't know, eventuality, inevitability? Are we just prepared
- 2:37Speaker 2: for the Bucks to trade?
- 2:38Speaker 1: You honest? Because it's gonna come within the next what
- 2:41Speaker 1: five weeks?
- 2:42Speaker 3: I would say five weeks and Drew I would say
- 2:44Speaker 3: it this way. I think some more than others, to
- 2:46Speaker 3: the point like where I've now flipped to the side
- 2:50Speaker 3: of I will be as appreciative as ever for all
- 2:54Speaker 3: of the thirteen years of service, with immense gratitude. However,
- 2:57Speaker 3: I think it would be it's gonna start bored borderlining
- 3:01Speaker 3: on wrong business practices if you don't ultimately move off
- 3:07Speaker 3: of them at this point, just because of where you're at,
- 3:10Speaker 3: how the league has completely shifted. Even though you know
- 3:14Speaker 3: stars will still drive the bus. You need to be
- 3:18Speaker 3: able to develop and load up with young players, and
- 3:21Speaker 3: with their CBA rules, I think you're gonna need rookie
- 3:24Speaker 3: contract contributors to be able to play and win.
- 3:28Speaker 1: At a high level.
- 3:28Speaker 3: And right now I don't see a path towards that
- 3:32Speaker 3: without recouping some assets. So I think right now I've
- 3:36Speaker 3: turned to the point where I'm excited to start looking
- 3:38Speaker 3: at the packages that are coming and I'm fully shifted
- 3:42Speaker 3: to they need.
- 3:43Speaker 4: To move him this offense. And there's a lot of
- 3:44Speaker 4: people to answer that question, are ready for it? And
- 3:46Speaker 4: then there's a lot of people and hand raising air
- 3:50Speaker 4: a little bit that it'll be a shot, a shock
- 3:52Speaker 4: and processing no matter when it comes, like, no matter
- 3:55Speaker 4: what it is, it'll hard to ever be ready for it.
- 3:57Speaker 4: But the reality is it probably it's got a good
- 4:01Speaker 4: chance of happening either way. But there are some, I'd
- 4:03Speaker 4: say that more than some, I think more than not
- 4:06Speaker 4: are definitely ready for it to happen, or at least
- 4:08Speaker 4: make it sound that way that they're ready for it
- 4:10Speaker 4: to happen. It was, you know, just like when the
- 4:13Speaker 4: Bucks got rid of Bootenholzer, there were a lot of
- 4:14Speaker 4: the time they were ready for it to happen. Now,
- 4:16Speaker 4: though something same people might go back later on and
- 4:18Speaker 4: say why do we do this? Why don't we get
- 4:20Speaker 4: rid of Boothholzer? But I think many Bucks fans, honestly
- 4:23Speaker 4: more than others, have been more kind of ready for it,
- 4:27Speaker 4: so to speak.
- 4:28Speaker 2: My conflict in this is that if the Bucks are
- 4:31Speaker 2: gonna stink, which they might for a while, even after
- 4:34Speaker 2: trading for you, honest, it take a while for them
- 4:35Speaker 2: to get rolling again.
- 4:36Speaker 4: M hm.
- 4:37Speaker 1: That's the bigger question is would't you're rather stink with
- 4:39Speaker 1: you honest than stink without that? That's what that boys thought,
- 4:41Speaker 1: That's what you know. That's the old But but not
- 4:44Speaker 1: this way though, not with not with the public crime, No,
- 4:49Speaker 1: not with not with the not with the pouting on
- 4:51Speaker 1: both sides and all over the place right this, I.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Know that we should be competing and feeling like there's
- 4:58Speaker 3: a separation of power and feeling like going to continually
- 5:00Speaker 3: always have to hear even more conversation about it, because
- 5:03Speaker 3: if you think it dies down when he signs the extension,
- 5:06Speaker 3: damn near rampants back up, because that's just what NBA
- 5:09Speaker 3: stars do now, is lock in the cash and then
- 5:12Speaker 3: demand the trade.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Well here and here's the thing, and this is again
- 5:15Speaker 2: with Gianni's status, he has some leverage because he's coming.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure he does.
- 5:20Speaker 2: So the team he goes to isn't going to give
- 5:23Speaker 2: up a lot of assets unless they know he's going
- 5:24Speaker 2: to sign the extension. Okay, but then the Bucks don't
- 5:31Speaker 2: owe him the idea that they should send him where
- 5:33Speaker 2: he wants to go if it's even if it's not
- 5:35Speaker 2: the best package. I don't think the Bucks owe him that.
- 5:38Speaker 2: I think the Bucks have to find the best package. However,
- 5:41Speaker 2: there were rumblings yesterday that Giannis wants to remain in
- 5:43Speaker 2: the East mm hmm, because it's an easier path to
- 5:46Speaker 2: get back to the sure, maybe get back to the
- 5:48Speaker 2: finals right now, the landscape of the NBA, it's that
- 5:51Speaker 2: his logic is not flawed given OKC and San Antonio
- 5:55Speaker 2: and maybe even Houston. So Houston might be a place
- 5:58Speaker 2: that would want him. But if he wants to stay
- 6:00Speaker 2: in the East, that limits the amount of teams that
- 6:02Speaker 2: he can go to. Right And I had thought for
- 6:05Speaker 2: a long time, I thought, well, you know that sneaky Steph,
- 6:08Speaker 2: and there their little moments that they've had at all
- 6:10Speaker 2: Star Games and Marquee events that Steph was recruiting and
- 6:13Speaker 2: you think about this, like if they're gonna if they're
- 6:15Speaker 2: gonna put the paddles to it and try to make
- 6:17Speaker 2: one last ditch.
- 6:18Speaker 1: And I don't even know if Kerr is gonna stay,
- 6:19Speaker 1: but he just reop. Yeah, he just re up. Yeah,
- 6:23Speaker 1: while you were what two years, three years, two years?
- 6:26Speaker 1: And and that was my exact thought, is does he
- 6:28Speaker 1: know something good?
- 6:29Speaker 2: Be they're gonna try to run it with the old
- 6:31Speaker 2: geezers and try to make it and patch it together
- 6:33Speaker 2: and hold it together and you know, sit them on
- 6:36Speaker 2: back to backs load manage that they can play and
- 6:38Speaker 2: get to the playoffs where they don't have back to backs.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Right.
- 6:40Speaker 2: So but my thing was, okay, so who slides into
- 6:43Speaker 2: Golden State and makes them a better team Jannis or Lebron?
- 6:47Speaker 1: Oh? Yis?
- 6:48Speaker 3: Yeah, Yan Yannis makes them makes them a better makes
- 6:51Speaker 3: them a better team.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Lebron with with Draymond and stuff.
- 6:56Speaker 3: But the greatest annual traction in the NBA that they've
- 7:02Speaker 3: ever come up with would be Lebron and Golden State.
- 7:05Speaker 2: So that's like the NBA, it seems more likely to
- 7:08Speaker 2: me than Yannis going there.
- 7:11Speaker 3: Yes, it's also easier, right, like the money would be easier.
- 7:14Speaker 3: That they wouldn't even have to move the Butler contract.
- 7:17Speaker 3: I also think the fascinating one would be and I
- 7:19Speaker 3: heard I think it was Nick Wright say this yesterday,
- 7:22Speaker 3: like if David Stern was still alive, I think there
- 7:24Speaker 3: might be a Mirandums just said, hey, by the way,
- 7:28Speaker 3: just this year, no salary cap. All right, this year,
- 7:31Speaker 3: no salary cap. If somebody wants to go and play
- 7:33Speaker 3: somewhere upstate, maybe four hours away fromywhere he is, go
- 7:37Speaker 3: up there to Golden State, and then let's sell as
- 7:39Speaker 3: many tickets as possible and many eyeballs and have the
- 7:42Speaker 3: Harlem Globe Trotters of the NBA. It's been like the
- 7:45Speaker 3: last American stars all run together and bring Katie up
- 7:49Speaker 3: there for one more run while you're at it would.
- 7:51Speaker 4: Be like basically a Big Three. I mean yeah, I
- 7:54Speaker 4: mean a Big Three style team. Three style team. I
- 7:57Speaker 4: mean Steph, Draymond and Lebron. That's like and Jimmy, it's
- 8:01Speaker 4: like in Jimmy Health, it's like your chance to see
- 8:03Speaker 4: all the stars. But like on the on the Old
- 8:06Speaker 4: Timers Tour, I'm sorry, that is thirty eight wins written
- 8:08Speaker 4: over to me.
- 8:08Speaker 1: I just don't see how a did you watch any
- 8:12Speaker 1: of Lebron. This year, Lebron was productive, but he's gonna
- 8:15Speaker 1: be another.
- 8:16Speaker 4: Year older is he was his father Time is definitely
- 8:19Speaker 4: winning that battle. And when's undefeated, Billy and Draymond's gonna
- 8:22Speaker 4: get older.
- 8:23Speaker 1: STEP's getting older. They struggled this year. Yeah, I don't,
- 8:25Speaker 1: I don't.
- 8:25Speaker 4: I don't don't that. But on an average night in
- 8:29Speaker 4: this past championship season, who looked older, like you know,
- 8:33Speaker 4: Giannis or Lebron Because look and look at the games
- 8:35Speaker 4: play they stay all stay healthy right well Asumana stays healthy,
- 8:40Speaker 4: go ahead has worked very much at all. I agree,
- 8:44Speaker 4: that's also a question. But this idea that the Warriors
- 8:47Speaker 4: are going to be under.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Nobody said they were going to win the title.
- 8:50Speaker 3: I just said that they would be the greatest attraction
- 8:52Speaker 3: that would be was talking about.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I'm saying.
- 8:55Speaker 2: But if if, if, if I'm building that team, you know, well,
- 9:00Speaker 2: who would kur rather have? Probably Yannest But it's not yeah,
- 9:03Speaker 2: not cutting dried I don't know.
- 9:05Speaker 3: No, I think it would be just from the ability
- 9:08Speaker 3: to have more more of a runway and a young
- 9:11Speaker 3: guy that they've always And here's the other part of it.
- 9:14Speaker 3: The little bit of the leaving it better than you
- 9:17Speaker 3: found it. There would be the total finality of it
- 9:22Speaker 3: is going to be a brutal rebuild one Stephan Lebron
- 9:26Speaker 3: shuffle off here in two years.
- 9:27Speaker 1: If they would leave it with a.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Yanis at thirty three thirty four, still with some star power,
- 9:32Speaker 3: still with cachet ability to bring another one, I think
- 9:35Speaker 3: they would prefer that one because of what it would
- 9:38Speaker 3: feel like you open up with.
- 9:39Speaker 1: The next window.
- 9:40Speaker 3: The other thing that Giannis has always been fascinated with
- 9:43Speaker 3: Golden State, so I think that one is absolutely on
- 9:45Speaker 3: the table. But I think Gianis as well. The packages
- 9:50Speaker 3: in the East might almost be better for the Bucks.
- 9:53Speaker 3: So like the thought would be, I don't want to
- 9:54Speaker 3: portray them in the East. I don't want to have
- 9:56Speaker 3: to see him five times. Well, you're seeing everybody, and
- 9:59Speaker 3: you're gonna walk him on television anyway. And whether he
- 10:02Speaker 3: wins in the East or wins in the West, I
- 10:04Speaker 3: don't know that it is best for you. However you
- 10:07Speaker 3: end up getting the best package is the most important thing.
- 10:10Speaker 3: I don't know they fully go Portland with Dame and
- 10:13Speaker 3: send him somewhere he clearly didn't want.
- 10:15Speaker 1: To go because it's the best package.
- 10:17Speaker 3: But I think it's going to be one of those
- 10:20Speaker 3: Drew where hey, we got three offers on the table,
- 10:23Speaker 3: and I sure hope you'll like Atlanta because we're taking
- 10:25Speaker 3: this one right or I hope you like Detroit and
- 10:27Speaker 3: I hope you figure it out because bus grabbing Thompson
- 10:30Speaker 3: and Company, that's going to be a much better package
- 10:32Speaker 3: for us.
- 10:32Speaker 1: He's not going to Detroit. I can't see it.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Really, you wouldn't want to go play with Ky Cunningham
- 10:38Speaker 3: and the number one overall seed. Like this is the
- 10:40Speaker 3: other part. We're all acting like Giannis is in this
- 10:43Speaker 3: situation where he's either I want to go to the
- 10:45Speaker 3: biggest market possible or does he want to win? And
- 10:48Speaker 3: he wants to win, so I would say I want
- 10:51Speaker 3: to go to Detroit team just won sixty plus games, yea?
- 10:54Speaker 3: Or do I want to go to New York, which
- 10:58Speaker 3: is absolutely which is absolutely a case of it. But
- 11:01Speaker 3: if they go to the finals, you want to you
- 11:03Speaker 3: want to be Katie two point zero like I just
- 11:06Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know that because he's also found himself
- 11:11Speaker 3: in this situation because of what he has and has
- 11:13Speaker 3: not said.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Is if you demanded it and really really wanted to
- 11:17Speaker 1: be out.
- 11:18Speaker 3: You could have made the big stink and you could
- 11:20Speaker 3: have been having all this fun in New York this year,
- 11:22Speaker 3: but you didn't.
- 11:23Speaker 1: And maybe now you let Now you waited.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Now you are going to have to go potentially to
- 11:27Speaker 3: Atlanta or Orlando or Detroit or go call up Ryan
- 11:32Speaker 3: Smith and hey man, you really want to go put
- 11:33Speaker 3: some butts and seats in the Delta Center, give us
- 11:35Speaker 3: that number two pick, and let's send your.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Ass over to Utah.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Like, I don't care where it ends up being, you
- 11:40Speaker 3: do have to get the best package. And he's kind
- 11:41Speaker 3: of put himself into this corner by not saying for
- 11:45Speaker 3: the last year and a half what he truly wanted,
- 11:46Speaker 3: which appears like you wanted out.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Miami's in the back of my mind too, although I
- 11:50Speaker 4: don't know what kind of set up happens.
- 11:51Speaker 1: That's just South Beach Box at that point. Yeah, I
- 11:53Speaker 1: don't know what would be back, what you'd get.
- 11:55Speaker 4: Back, am, and what kind of team they'd have either.
- 11:57Speaker 4: That's kind of a but that's in the back of
- 11:59Speaker 4: my mind as well.
- 12:00Speaker 1: They have draft assets though, right Miami.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Not a ton. I mean, they have their own picks.
- 12:05Speaker 3: They got they got hero. They got khalil Ware, which
- 12:08Speaker 3: would be an interesting player. But again, it then depends
- 12:11Speaker 3: on what does he want to do when he gets
- 12:13Speaker 3: to the play That's the thing. Does he want to
- 12:15Speaker 3: be buddies with Steph Curry? And as Harmon said, you
- 12:18Speaker 3: know maybe when I don't know, forty five games and
- 12:20Speaker 3: losing the second round in the Western Conference playoff, do
- 12:23Speaker 3: you want to have a chance to win and go
- 12:25Speaker 3: somewhere in the East or do you want to go
- 12:27Speaker 3: live where you want to live and that be Miami.
- 12:29Speaker 3: If so, that's cool, but then you're not real You
- 12:33Speaker 3: left because you wanted to go somewhere else, not because
- 12:36Speaker 3: you wanted to win.
- 12:37Speaker 4: And is he is he going for a straight ring
- 12:39Speaker 4: chase and just trying to join the best team and
- 12:41Speaker 4: a pick up a ring or does he want to
- 12:42Speaker 4: be the major contributing factor.
- 12:44Speaker 1: That's the other issue. This is very complicated for him.
- 12:46Speaker 2: He could give you a thirteenth pick this year along
- 12:49Speaker 2: with your ten, and then they could give you a
- 12:52Speaker 2: first their first rounder in twenty thirty and twenty thirty two.
- 12:55Speaker 1: That's what they have. Yeah, so they're they're for the bucks.
- 12:57Speaker 1: That's kind of what they need to restock.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Yeah, they're kind of they're kind of hit that way now,
- 13:02Speaker 3: they because they don't have much in the next couple
- 13:04Speaker 3: of years. I also think the Bucks are in a
- 13:06Speaker 3: position where they're hoping to grab as many assets quickly
- 13:10Speaker 3: right like, and this is where okay, see if they
- 13:14Speaker 3: end up somehow miraculously losing.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Over the next two rounds.
- 13:18Speaker 3: They have all of the draft assets you could possibly have.
- 13:21Speaker 3: I think they have two or three. Next year they
- 13:23Speaker 3: have the twelfth pick. This year, they would have maybe
- 13:27Speaker 3: an aj Mitchell. They would have maybe a Jalen Williams
- 13:29Speaker 3: if you wanted to get a starback. The other one
- 13:32Speaker 3: is are you re routing this thing all the way
- 13:34Speaker 3: through finding a Big three team weave? Because again it's
- 13:38Speaker 3: gonna continually get asked. Because Jalen Brown had to bark
- 13:41Speaker 3: it up hot take comp day, Drew Boston would be
- 13:43Speaker 3: the worst place for all Bucks fans to have to
- 13:45Speaker 3: watch him. And right now I think Boston is finding
- 13:47Speaker 3: themselves almost like the leader in the clubhouse.
- 13:49Speaker 4: Well, that was all the Jalen Brown smoke, That all
- 13:52Speaker 4: that rumor, that was last week's rumor. So yeah, that
- 13:55Speaker 4: could be another one. I think, you know, you just
- 13:58Speaker 4: go back to what team is desperate. The Knicks look
- 14:00Speaker 4: really good right now. If they get super close and
- 14:02Speaker 4: don't reach the finals or win the finals, they might
- 14:04Speaker 4: be the team that's desperate enough to try and get
- 14:07Speaker 4: over the top and finally deliver the finals win to
- 14:09Speaker 4: New York.
- 14:10Speaker 1: You know, there are all these possibilities.
- 14:13Speaker 4: Out there, and the other remaining possibility is that nothing
- 14:16Speaker 4: still happens until he sizes the excession. Would Jimmy has
- 14:20Speaker 4: them put the put it out there that they wanted
- 14:22Speaker 4: a resolution, but I'm not sure they're gonna get it.
- 14:25Speaker 2: How about Giannis and Bobby for Jade McDaniels, Rudy Gobert,
- 14:28Speaker 2: Dante DiVincenzo and a first round pick in twenty thirty two.
- 14:32Speaker 1: That's the Wolves offer.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Now, I want something, I want more. I want to
- 14:35Speaker 3: ask that sooner than that. I want I want to
- 14:37Speaker 3: ask that sooner than that.
- 14:38Speaker 4: Now.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Obviously you're gonna you're gonna draft assets or want draft
- 14:42Speaker 3: assets earlier. Yeah, and I would McDaniels right now looks
- 14:45Speaker 3: like he might be one of the better players that
- 14:48Speaker 3: you're going to get back, right like the possibility to
- 14:51Speaker 3: flourish into something something bigger, in something better because you
- 14:56Speaker 3: want to have the lottery ticket of and and again
- 14:59Speaker 3: a can be wishing upon hope, shake Gil as Alexander
- 15:03Speaker 3: came from one of these deals where the star player decided, Hey,
- 15:06Speaker 3: that's where I want to go play, So figure it out.
- 15:09Speaker 1: That's where I want to go play.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Clippers, figure it out and oh, yeah, that guy that
- 15:13Speaker 3: was the eleventh pick two years ago, send him over
- 15:16Speaker 3: here and he can develop into being that guy. You
- 15:19Speaker 3: have to try to find and identify that young player
- 15:22Speaker 3: to be also a core piece.
- 15:23Speaker 1: What would motivate the Knicks more like?
- 15:26Speaker 2: Not like getting to the finals and getting swamped and
- 15:30Speaker 2: then thinking well we can't compete with Oklahoma City or
- 15:33Speaker 2: getting bounced in the conference finals, that would motivate them more.
- 15:36Speaker 2: I think getting bounced by a Cleveland or Detroit, where
- 15:40Speaker 2: everybody in NYC right now is already locking up their
- 15:44Speaker 2: dates for June, they could try to figure out the
- 15:46Speaker 2: finals period, because.
- 15:47Speaker 4: The way they're playing, they had everyone in the hype
- 15:49Speaker 4: train right now, right and that that thing derailed. Yeah,
- 15:52Speaker 4: I think that's the desperation.
- 15:54Speaker 2: The trade projected here was Yiannis, Miles, Turner and Kyle
- 15:57Speaker 2: Kuzma for cat og Og Miles McBride, Tyler kolek Arman's favorite.
- 16:04Speaker 2: There you go and a twenty thirty two first round pick.
- 16:07Speaker 3: Again, like the big the packages from the Lakers and
- 16:12Speaker 3: Knicks or Lakers, Warriors and Knicks would all be bad,
- 16:15Speaker 3: right Like some people would say the Celtics offer would
- 16:18Speaker 3: be bad, I think the Celtics software would ultimately be
- 16:19Speaker 3: good when you could figure out what you would then
- 16:22Speaker 3: reget for Jalen Brown, because you'd be trading for Jalen
- 16:25Speaker 3: Brown and then retrading him somewhere else.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Because I can't wait six years for a pick. I'm sorry.
- 16:30Speaker 1: I mean, that's just how I feel about it. Twenty
- 16:32Speaker 1: thirty two. I got a feel in the Bucks think
- 16:34Speaker 1: that same way.
- 16:34Speaker 4: It's just crazy to me that people will be like, Okay,
- 16:37Speaker 4: well we'll give you a thirty two and then then
- 16:39Speaker 4: a couple of these players. I'm like, no, if we're
- 16:41Speaker 4: going to do this rebuild process, which I think I
- 16:44Speaker 4: can stomach and understand why we're doing it, but I
- 16:47Speaker 4: don't want to wait six years to do it. I mean,
- 16:50Speaker 4: that's that's wild stuff to me. If we're doing that,
- 16:53Speaker 4: then I might as well keep you honest. Hopefully he
- 16:55Speaker 4: stays healthy. And has four years of production and retrade
- 16:59Speaker 4: him in two if he signs the extension. That's just
- 17:01Speaker 4: the way I think about it. Yeah, I don't think
- 17:05Speaker 4: I'm sitting here thinking, all right, we got the twenty
- 17:07Speaker 4: thirty two pick.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Great, you know Aaron and FONDI.
- 17:10Speaker 3: I'll bet you guys a fifty dollars Dunkin Donuts gift
- 17:12Speaker 3: card that he plays for the Bucks next year.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Well, what do we like Boston Creams? We want the
- 17:18Speaker 1: long at it. I'm down with that. I like the
- 17:24Speaker 1: the the.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Dunkin Donuts deal. Now we're also Glazer positive on this show.
- 17:27Speaker 3: Also got a uh, maybe one of the older things
- 17:30Speaker 3: I've done, maybe one of the bigger armand sarian things
- 17:32Speaker 3: I've done on a hot take comp day last night
- 17:34Speaker 3: was I got the little circular the mailer of all
- 17:37Speaker 3: the coupons?
- 17:38Speaker 1: You kept them? Did you keep those cue fons? You
- 17:40Speaker 1: clipped those bad boys when they're giving away a free
- 17:43Speaker 1: dozen donuts at Krispy Kreme. That's what I'm saying. You
- 17:45Speaker 1: better believe I'm clipping that there are deals out there.
- 17:48Speaker 1: And I've got a coupon drawer now for him. So
- 17:50Speaker 1: there's a deal. There's deals out there.
- 17:51Speaker 4: I don't want drawer and I don't want anyone looking
- 17:56Speaker 4: at us like we're the coupon drawer for Giannis.
- 17:59Speaker 3: I don't all right, and I yes, well this is
- 18:02Speaker 3: again why you wait? And like I know this is
- 18:04Speaker 3: this is gonna be difficult. I know no one's gonna
- 18:06Speaker 3: necessarily love this. But this is exactly what Nico Harrison
- 18:10Speaker 3: got fired for not doing. For if you, if you
- 18:13Speaker 3: are going to move off of the Superstar, you gotta
- 18:17Speaker 3: open up as much of a bidding war as possible.
- 18:19Speaker 1: This again, why you don't trade them at the deadline, Drew.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Like we were talking about in Hammering Home, the packages
- 18:24Speaker 3: are gonna get better in the offseason. You were right
- 18:26Speaker 3: about that, and teams are gonna get way more desperate
- 18:29Speaker 3: in the offseason and their runs.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Those Boston Celtics down the.
- 18:33Speaker 2: All right, hot takes, keep them coming. Eight seven seven
- 18:36Speaker 2: seven nine four seven three. It's halftime of the week.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Hote Comday, halftime of the show. Scott Dolphin Country Station
- 18:42Speaker 2: down the hall, gonna pop in and join us. Next,
- 18:45Speaker 2: we got some news about you know, the schedule, NFL
- 18:47Speaker 2: schedules dominating the news, and we're gonna get the International
- 18:50Speaker 2: games looks like the Packers are gonna avoid an international trip,
- 18:52Speaker 2: which we'll make the flour happy. But we have the
- 18:55Speaker 2: first destination apparently for college game Days season debut. We'll
- 18:59Speaker 2: talk about that with Dolf. That's next The Huddle, Fox

- 19:31Speaker 2: us for our halftime report.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Hello Dolf, you look at Tandrew.
- 19:34Speaker 5: I didn't realize it, you know the last couple of days,
- 19:36Speaker 5: you know, I just try to I.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Was gonna say, with the with the it is it
- 19:40Speaker 1: is popping a little bit more.
- 19:41Speaker 5: Though earlier you have like do you rotate like four
- 19:45Speaker 5: different swimming suits while you're down there or no, put.
- 19:50Speaker 3: It you put it in the you put it in
- 19:51Speaker 3: the in the bathtub and then got a place.
- 19:55Speaker 1: With a washer dryer, so it was. You know, I
- 19:57Speaker 1: did laundry once while I was there. I got it.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Travel lighter. That makes it easier. You can travel lighter,
- 20:03Speaker 2: Yeah you can. Plus who cares? Who am impressing him
- 20:05Speaker 2: in the jungle?
- 20:06Speaker 1: Correct? Yeah? One vacation. That's my hot take for the week. Yeah.
- 20:12Speaker 2: But you know what's great, The day before you leave,
- 20:15Speaker 2: you wash the clothes, you pack them up, and you
- 20:17Speaker 2: don't come home with a whole trunk full of dirty clothes.
- 20:19Speaker 1: And no check bag. I'm assuming, right, No, no, of
- 20:21Speaker 1: course not.
- 20:22Speaker 3: Now that does help because maybe the worst thing that
- 20:25Speaker 3: I do traveling is I then leave that that suitcase
- 20:28Speaker 3: sitting by the front door for probably good three.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Or four right there.
- 20:34Speaker 5: Here's the thing about going to a tropical location like
- 20:37Speaker 5: that is, even if you wash your clothes, chances are
- 20:39Speaker 5: you might have to wash them again to get the
- 20:41Speaker 5: tropical smell out of it.
- 20:42Speaker 2: There is that sticks around for a while, mil dewy,
- 20:45Speaker 2: moldy kind of smell of just being damp. Although that
- 20:47Speaker 2: wasn't as bad in Costa Rica's, it has been an
- 20:49Speaker 2: other locales. We went on a sunboat bowl once and yeah,
- 20:52Speaker 2: like immediately your clothes just picked up.
- 20:54Speaker 1: The humidity and the smell.
- 20:58Speaker 4: Little bugs travel or something. I'm just washing the whole
- 21:00Speaker 4: the whole lot when I get home. That's how I am.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know. I on that back of my
- 21:05Speaker 1: mind worry about it. They always say leave it.
- 21:07Speaker 5: You know, if you travel in January, you get back
- 21:09Speaker 5: to town, you can lead it in the garage overnight.
- 21:11Speaker 1: If it's bitter cold than that.
- 21:13Speaker 4: Well I didn't think about that. I'm gonna do that
- 21:15Speaker 4: from now on a life hack. Yeah, let's come amazing
- 21:20Speaker 4: out the art whatever.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Right, So doff Today, we're going to get the international
- 21:23Speaker 2: games confirmed for the NFL. And we've just heard that
- 21:26Speaker 2: ESPN Game Day, Billy's favorite show, College Game Saturday morning
- 21:30Speaker 2: their season debut. Wait for it, They're going to go
- 21:32Speaker 2: see Lane Kiffin at LSU as they host Clemson in
- 21:36Speaker 2: the first game.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Oh, that's pretty good for.
- 21:38Speaker 2: The man, just like Shocker, because now he's like he
- 21:41Speaker 2: was in Vanity Fair and everybody's talking about the you know.
- 21:44Speaker 3: He listen, he's he's the he's the flavor of the league.
- 21:47Speaker 3: He's the heel of college football in a sport that
- 21:50Speaker 3: frankly there's enough heels and and people try to make
- 21:53Speaker 3: the players mostly of them that are finally getting some
- 21:55Speaker 3: money that they rightfully deserve. But I think the craziest
- 21:57Speaker 3: one is it's the five hundred show on the Road
- 22:01Speaker 3: Wow College game Day, and it starts up the fortieth
- 22:04Speaker 3: season of that shows.
- 22:08Speaker 4: I never would have guessed forty Wow. That's incredible.
- 22:11Speaker 1: There's no originals left since Courso went away, right, no Originals.
- 22:16Speaker 3: Herbie is is the the longest tenured on it, and
- 22:19Speaker 3: then Reese would be right thereafter because Fowler did it
- 22:22Speaker 3: for so long before.
- 22:23Speaker 1: He ended up getting the head job. Yeah, yeah, he was.
- 22:26Speaker 5: He was the guy forever and ever and ever, and
- 22:28Speaker 5: then they I heard that he felt kind of that
- 22:31Speaker 5: kind of railroaded him out of there.
- 22:33Speaker 1: I thought.
- 22:33Speaker 5: I read that one time and put it and said,
- 22:34Speaker 5: we'd rather have you do games, Chris.
- 22:36Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'll be honest with you, I kind of
- 22:38Speaker 3: liked him more on the game day set than I
- 22:39Speaker 3: do on the game however, Reese is just so good
- 22:43Speaker 3: at it, like a Southern gentleman, and yeah, it makes
- 22:45Speaker 3: it tremendous.
- 22:46Speaker 1: But for that show, I still don't know.
- 22:50Speaker 3: And as much of McAfee positive as I am, probably
- 22:53Speaker 3: way more than anybody else. That's a tough spot for
- 22:56Speaker 3: a show that desperately still needed Lee Corso. And to
- 23:00Speaker 3: be the guy that has to fill in for the
- 23:02Speaker 3: sending off guy of Porso for how much of an
- 23:04Speaker 3: institution that was. That's a tough tough set of shoes
- 23:09Speaker 3: to fill because he was a legend.
- 23:10Speaker 5: Well McAfee likes to dominate conversations, that's for sure. To
- 23:13Speaker 5: insert himself in all of those conversations on that show,
- 23:16Speaker 5: even with Saban, who sometimes give him a look like, dude,
- 23:18Speaker 5: would you just put us on?
- 23:19Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 23:21Speaker 3: Getting Saban to swear on television, though, that is one
- 23:25Speaker 3: of the beauty beauties of that program, to be able
- 23:28Speaker 3: to get Saban into his element and have some fun.
- 23:30Speaker 1: What's the Week zero game in Ireland? This year?
- 23:32Speaker 5: It's not with Wisconsin's coming up on that? Aren't that
- 23:36Speaker 5: next year?
- 23:36Speaker 3: Next year against Pritt and this year it's all I
- 23:40Speaker 3: should have had that on the ready, because I do
- 23:42Speaker 3: have uh, we're on the countdown. I have it on
- 23:44Speaker 3: the countdown clock on this super sweet app of Week
- 23:47Speaker 3: zero on college football. Because now there's a handful of
- 23:49Speaker 3: games we see we're one and eight days away.
- 23:52Speaker 1: I probably should have put in the game.
- 23:55Speaker 4: That was in there is that of just the day
- 23:56Speaker 4: the twenty twenty six aer Lingus College Football classing team.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Can you see you against North Carolina?
- 24:01Speaker 4: Oh, we get Belichick, We get Belichick and hopefully Jordan
- 24:04Speaker 4: Anderviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
- 24:07Speaker 1: She'll that'll kick off a week zero. Yes, sponsored by
- 24:09Speaker 1: aer Lingus.
- 24:10Speaker 3: We're one hundred and eight days away from the kickoff
- 24:12Speaker 3: college football. One hundred and nineteen days away. Wow, from
- 24:14Speaker 3: the NFL kickoff on September ninth.
- 24:16Speaker 5: We were there two years ago during that week, and
- 24:19Speaker 5: I didn't realize they don't even play that game at
- 24:22Speaker 5: the big stadium in Dublin, which I believe is called
- 24:25Speaker 5: Croke Park, that's where they hold all the big soccer
- 24:27Speaker 5: and concerts and stuff. But this football, this stadium that
- 24:30Speaker 5: they played in, I think is like fifty thousand. It's
- 24:33Speaker 5: big enough for college American college football. We're watching it
- 24:35Speaker 5: at a bar. It was it was Florida State and
- 24:37Speaker 5: Georgia Tech two years ago. Yes, And and you know,
- 24:40Speaker 5: I'm sitting next to a local and he said, are
- 24:41Speaker 5: you in for the match? And I said, oh, and
- 24:44Speaker 5: we're watching. I said no, no, just here to have
- 24:46Speaker 5: a good time. And I kind of had to school here.
- 24:49Speaker 5: They don't get college football over there. It's less Notre
- 24:52Speaker 5: Dames playing. Then you'll see fans.
- 24:53Speaker 1: That's fair.
- 24:54Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, they're not into at least American college football.
- 24:57Speaker 1: They do know a lot more about the NFL. I
- 24:59Speaker 1: was gonna say, hey, that would be like if all
- 25:02Speaker 1: of a sudden we got the La Liga come over
- 25:05Speaker 1: and play a game in Ryan America. Yeah, people might
- 25:08Speaker 1: know some of the Premier League teams. We might know
- 25:11Speaker 1: one league. Everything else we might struggle with. Well, I
- 25:13Speaker 1: remember when they used to have the game at Miller Park.
- 25:15Speaker 5: Wasn't it a team from Premier League against the team
- 25:18Speaker 5: from Mexico every year they had the friendly.
- 25:20Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and then we then there would be some
- 25:22Speaker 3: folks says, oh yeah that's a good club. That one
- 25:24Speaker 3: necessarily sure who that one was, but yeah, that one's good.
- 25:27Speaker 3: That one should be fun. That would be a great match,
- 25:28Speaker 3: great match.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Yes, if you could go to an international game, where
- 25:32Speaker 2: would you go?
- 25:33Speaker 1: What venue?
- 25:34Speaker 2: Especially with the NFL, like now that they're in Madrid, Australia.
- 25:38Speaker 5: I think I'd go to Germany. That one kind of
- 25:41Speaker 5: intrigues me. The Munich game, The Munich game with Munich
- 25:43Speaker 5: man and hopefully it's during Octoberfest so you can double dip.
- 25:46Speaker 2: When we were at the Super Bowl and we were
- 25:48Speaker 2: talking about that, people thought, you know, we thought for
- 25:50Speaker 2: a while that the Packers would go to Ireland to
- 25:53Speaker 2: face the Steelers, you know, and didn't happen. And then
- 25:55Speaker 2: it's like, well, they're gonna go to Germany next year.
- 25:56Speaker 2: That was like the general consensus that was. Now it
- 25:58Speaker 2: looks like they're gonna they're gonna missing international And it.
- 26:01Speaker 5: Was almost a given that the Bears were going to
- 26:03Speaker 5: be going to Madrid because I guess they have a
- 26:06Speaker 5: huge presence in Spain.
- 26:07Speaker 1: I didn't know this. I think they might have them,
- 26:09Speaker 1: they might have had marketing rights there. Yeah.
- 26:12Speaker 5: Yeah, And but it looks like it's not gonna happen,
- 26:14Speaker 5: which is a good thing. You're looking at the NFL's
- 26:16Speaker 5: toughest schedule this year. I think they have I don't know,
- 26:17Speaker 5: nine playoff teams something like that.
- 26:19Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna get They're gonna get woke up, that's
- 26:21Speaker 3: for sure. And I think there's another part of it,
- 26:23Speaker 3: like different teams are trying to plant their flags in
- 26:26Speaker 3: different spots, and I think the Packers coincided with that.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Doublin announcement of like, oh yeah, we're also going to
- 26:32Speaker 3: be one of like the four teams that's gonna be
- 26:34Speaker 3: pump pumping content into the area to try to prime
- 26:38Speaker 3: the pump for whenever they do come. I also think
- 26:42Speaker 3: faith something I don't necessarily need to go to Paris.
- 26:44Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how football gets responded to over
- 26:47Speaker 3: in Paris, right, Like, I mean as much of the
- 26:50Speaker 3: different European countries that may or may or may not
- 26:53Speaker 3: like America. I didn't necessarily know Paris was dialed in
- 26:55Speaker 3: for American football.
- 26:56Speaker 5: No, I wouldn't. Other than the fact that it's geographically
- 26:59Speaker 5: close to English. I don't know if there's much of
- 27:01Speaker 5: a presence there. You know, places like Germany and the
- 27:05Speaker 5: United Kingdom obviously are huge places for football. Australia, but
- 27:10Speaker 5: I don't know. Yeah, that's a weird one. In France.
- 27:12Speaker 5: Where did you play when you went over in college?
- 27:13Speaker 5: Where were you guys? We went to Italy?
- 27:16Speaker 3: So we went, We went to Italy and we played
- 27:18Speaker 3: a played an international friendly against a in all star
- 27:23Speaker 3: quote unquote semi pro team in Florence. But football is
- 27:26Speaker 3: big in Italy, and I'm kind of surprised they haven't
- 27:30Speaker 3: gone over to a Rome or something like that, because
- 27:34Speaker 3: that would to me make even more sense there into
- 27:37Speaker 3: the Europeans swing.
- 27:38Speaker 1: Yeah, that would make sense. Italy. I would agree Bill.
- 27:41Speaker 1: You guys beat him like fifty eight to nothing. That's aught.
- 27:42Speaker 3: It was a game, yeah yeah, but I mean again,
- 27:44Speaker 3: it's not like it was an impressive thing like there
- 27:46Speaker 3: were I think I lined up against the guy that
- 27:48Speaker 3: was probably in his mid forties. You feel bad, kind
- 27:51Speaker 3: of totally diad, Yeah, because he kept saying he kept
- 27:53Speaker 3: saying no kill during the game, and I'm like, brother,
- 27:55Speaker 3: don't just leave it at All Star game.
- 27:57Speaker 5: They're holding a star. Don't start talking about dudes in
- 27:59Speaker 5: the mid forties.
- 28:00Speaker 1: But it was nobody.
- 28:01Speaker 3: It was fun because he bumped me a smoke after
- 28:02Speaker 3: so hey, we had a We had a really really
- 28:04Speaker 3: good time.
- 28:04Speaker 1: It was it was funny. He took you to school
- 28:06Speaker 1: after you. Now I'm thinking about like a prison squad.
- 28:09Speaker 2: And where as long as mismatching uniform, they were they
- 28:13Speaker 2: chufing during the huddle.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Oh Italians.
- 28:17Speaker 3: It was like the it was like the Len Dawson
- 28:20Speaker 3: pictures bro the Super Bowl, because all a sudden at halftime,
- 28:23Speaker 3: we're all sitting here and we're getting talked to from
- 28:24Speaker 3: our coach.
- 28:25Speaker 1: You'll train this like spring break, coach.
- 28:28Speaker 2: You can't.
- 28:30Speaker 1: School's over. We're having some fun, the great educational experience.
- 28:33Speaker 5: You probably have cheerleaders with a lot of you know,
- 28:35Speaker 5: aren't pit hair with the raising.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Man sitting here.
- 28:38Speaker 3: I'm a cool dog with smokes and he's like, I
- 28:41Speaker 3: can't wait for this thing to be over now.
- 28:43Speaker 4: I was. I remember having that in high school, like
- 28:46Speaker 4: when Greenfield had a did you do that too? And
- 28:48Speaker 4: they had like an international game and and one of
- 28:50Speaker 4: the guys came over and we hung out and he
- 28:52Speaker 4: was like it took a smoke break. I'm like, wow,
- 28:55Speaker 4: we're like fifteen, brother, and you're like, you know, He's like, yeah,
- 28:57Speaker 4: this is what we do. But it was like a
- 28:59Speaker 4: high school all star thing. They had a green Field too.
- 29:01Speaker 4: So the culture differences.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Are you confusing this with the Armenian Olympics that you
- 29:05Speaker 1: were in.
- 29:06Speaker 4: That's a very different situation and I got stories on that,
- 29:09Speaker 4: but that'll be for a podcast.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Okay, was American Football Part three? As probably will revive
- 29:16Speaker 1: the three arms. We need to get back to me
- 29:18Speaker 1: put the paddles to it.
- 29:20Speaker 3: iHeart is in a podcast space right now and could
- 29:25Speaker 3: beat performance in the Armenian Games.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Uh.
- 29:29Speaker 4: I was just can't overlook it. Say that tennis doubles match.
- 29:32Speaker 4: I will still talk about it there.
- 29:33Speaker 1: I was killing them at tennis, man, I have medals.
- 29:35Speaker 4: You just wait, dude. It was legendary stuff. It was
- 29:38Speaker 4: legendary stuff. Those were good days, all right.
- 29:40Speaker 2: So, in terms of bucket list, would you rather go
- 29:42Speaker 2: to any college football venue in the States that you've
- 29:44Speaker 2: never gone to, or see an NFL game internationally?
- 29:47Speaker 1: One or the other.
- 29:48Speaker 5: You're going to college. I'm going to college. I think
- 29:50Speaker 5: I'm going to the SEC to someplace. I mean egg Bowl, Yeah,
- 29:55Speaker 5: I think the egg Bowl would be the one. If
- 29:56Speaker 5: not the egg Bowl, maybe just a beautiful October afternoon
- 30:00Speaker 5: down in Oxford walking through the grove to grove.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Yeah, and and I'll I'll go and enjoy it, go
- 30:06Speaker 3: to the swamp. I want to go to Night one.
- 30:08Speaker 3: I want to go to Baton Rouge.
- 30:09Speaker 1: I want to go to Tiger that that night game
- 30:12Speaker 1: at LSU is a different, different beast.
- 30:15Speaker 2: And if Game Day is going to be there and
- 30:17Speaker 2: it's Kiffin's first game, it's built in story angle. But
- 30:20Speaker 2: if they have a chance to have Livy Dunn be
- 30:21Speaker 2: the celebrity picker ratings.
- 30:23Speaker 4: Yeah, that'll definitely work. That'll definitely play. Oh miss taking
- 30:26Speaker 4: more heat the last couple of days. So maybe they
- 30:28Speaker 4: need some people to go in and go to their
- 30:30Speaker 4: game and support. I saw Sark said that they take
- 30:33Speaker 4: basket weaving there, so sk through some.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Yeah, because all of the ut classes are a puff board.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Brother, he said that, like you need fifty for credits,
- 30:42Speaker 4: you'll miss. They'll give They'll give anyone a.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Degree with their basket When this day and age, when's
- 30:48Speaker 2: the last time you heard anything about graduation rate or
- 30:51Speaker 2: team GPA?
- 30:52Speaker 1: I was like, there's still when you go four and eight?
- 30:54Speaker 2: Nobody, Yeah, no one brings that up.
- 30:58Speaker 1: But you're a lot about the academic all America to
- 31:00Speaker 1: hear that all the time.
- 31:01Speaker 2: When when us when announcers would defend coaches with losing records,
- 31:05Speaker 2: Well he graduates as players.
- 31:07Speaker 5: And that goes ten now two with no money, forget
- 31:09Speaker 5: about it. You're not gonna hear that anymore at all.
- 31:11Speaker 1: No one says that anymore. That's the crazy kid. But
- 31:14Speaker 1: they even brought that up.
- 31:15Speaker 2: I didn't like, they don't even guys go to classes
- 31:17Speaker 2: they even, like used to do they even send academic
- 31:19Speaker 2: brochures as part of the recruiting packages anymore? Is it
- 31:22Speaker 2: just like you know, Manila envelope stuff with cash. I
- 31:25Speaker 2: was gonna say, well more than anything.
- 31:26Speaker 3: It's like, hey, uh, these are the pit stops you
- 31:28Speaker 3: have to make a right, we gotta, ma, we gotta
- 31:30Speaker 3: make these three appearances a week.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Wait, are those those nil deals?
- 31:34Speaker 4: No?
- 31:34Speaker 3: Yeah, those are the class ones. So those are the
- 31:36Speaker 3: class appearances. Those are the ones where we have to
- 31:38Speaker 3: save face.
- 31:39Speaker 4: They used to recruits meet like department heads and chairs
- 31:42Speaker 4: if they're preferred major, right did they not anymore?
- 31:46Speaker 5: I haven't even thought about that. When was the last
- 31:48Speaker 5: time you heard the term academically?
- 31:49Speaker 4: You know? Yeah?
- 31:50Speaker 1: Well Will had that in the YouTube comments. I haven't.
- 31:52Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 31:53Speaker 4: I mean, I think the qualifying score out of high
- 31:56Speaker 4: school was the big one, like ten twenty years ago,
- 32:00Speaker 4: like is he gonna make his more age?
- 32:02Speaker 1: Yeah, proper qualifier. And I still think you have to
- 32:07Speaker 1: qualify with.
- 32:08Speaker 4: The s A T score right SAT or ACT score
- 32:11Speaker 4: to at least be eligible for college. No, you don't
- 32:13Speaker 4: have to anymore.
- 32:15Speaker 1: I don't think you. I don't know that you necessarily
- 32:17Speaker 1: have to take the entrance exams anymore. There's still a thing.
- 32:19Speaker 1: It's like I think.
- 32:20Speaker 3: I think they are a thing. I don't necessarily know
- 32:23Speaker 3: that it has to be taken for certain ones. I
- 32:25Speaker 3: could be other thousand wrong.
- 32:27Speaker 4: Other than hearing it from Badger fans a lot about
- 32:29Speaker 4: academic standards, I haven't heard it much.
- 32:31Speaker 1: So I don't think you're gonna hear it anymore though.
- 32:33Speaker 5: Now with no money and being so big in the
- 32:34Speaker 5: Big ten and everybody just going for the best players available,
- 32:38Speaker 5: I don't think you're going to hear that as much.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Maybe the excuse runs out.
- 32:41Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 32:42Speaker 1: That's that's interesting. Look at you. No, I'm just asking
- 32:45Speaker 1: if it does. I don't know, excuse or explanation.
- 32:47Speaker 4: I've heard it from a lot of Has it ever
- 32:49Speaker 4: been an explanation from our catfas?
- 32:51Speaker 1: You know, it's harder to get guys in here. I mean,
- 32:53Speaker 1: come on, you know that. Come on, arman, take that
- 32:58Speaker 1: blue and sweater.
- 33:02Speaker 3: I will say that the Badgers made some news with
- 33:05Speaker 3: the list of folks that are going to be on
- 33:07Speaker 3: the hiring committee for the new ad.
- 33:09Speaker 1: I'll be a little bit.
- 33:10Speaker 3: I was kind of wondering if Chris Ballard would be
- 33:12Speaker 3: a guy that would put throw his name into the
- 33:14Speaker 3: hat instead of on the hiring committee, because Dolphy, you
- 33:18Speaker 3: say a lot about athletic director at a division on
- 33:19Speaker 3: in college working for the conference is a better gig, right,
- 33:23Speaker 3: The one that Chris Magintosh got is a better gig. Sure,
- 33:25Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know that if I might be getting
- 33:28Speaker 3: fired in the NFL, if I wouldn't have been throwing
- 33:30Speaker 3: my name into that hat if I was Chris Ballard.
- 33:32Speaker 5: I mean you're always looking to be upward mobile, right,
- 33:35Speaker 5: I mean that that's a step up. It's it's similar
- 33:37Speaker 5: to what the Bears president did, going from Kevin Warren,
- 33:42Speaker 5: Great Warren, from the commissioner of the Big Ten to
- 33:44Speaker 5: president of the Bears. If you're looking for more money,
- 33:46Speaker 5: you're looking I don't know if that's more stability, but yeah,
- 33:49Speaker 5: that's kind of interesting. The ad job right now is
- 33:52Speaker 5: pretty complex, right, awful. You do have some help now,
- 33:56Speaker 5: you have a general manager. Yeah, it's handling the money side.
- 33:59Speaker 3: And I gotta be honest with you, I didn't know
- 34:00Speaker 3: that they were going to be hiring a full time
- 34:02Speaker 3: athletic director before they hired a university system or a
- 34:05Speaker 3: u W system president and a chancellor. Right, but apparently
- 34:09Speaker 3: that looks like they're they're leaning toward which one, which
- 34:11Speaker 3: one draws more revenue? Oh the operation? Yeah, fair a
- 34:16Speaker 3: d good point cash flow.
- 34:18Speaker 5: They have an interim president right now. That came from
- 34:21Speaker 5: the smallest university, w Superior. She's running the yellow jacket?
- 34:26Speaker 1: Is that what it is it used to be? I think,
- 34:28Speaker 1: I mean, I think it is the guy I who
- 34:30Speaker 1: used to coach there. But that's the only thought. It'd
- 34:32Speaker 1: be too cold for bees up there. You would think
- 34:36Speaker 1: yellow jackets.
- 34:37Speaker 4: You would think the red name to get mascot is
- 34:39Speaker 4: buzz of the yellow Jackets. Sorry, sorry, how about River Falls?
- 34:46Speaker 4: No idea Falcons Championship?
- 34:49Speaker 1: I know, but I don't. I don't have the shirt
- 34:51Speaker 1: and everything. I'm sorry, I should get one. Well that's fair.
- 34:53Speaker 1: If they send you one, then you'll figure it out.
- 34:55Speaker 4: Like I said, I'll yellow Jackets. I knew someone coaches
- 34:58Speaker 4: the River Falls has done a heck of a job. Yeah,
- 35:00Speaker 4: are you kidding me? The guy just went one double
- 35:02Speaker 4: edged went to Drake. That's right, Andrew just got the
- 35:05Speaker 4: quarterback at Arrowhead.
- 35:06Speaker 1: No one's counting. Wow, that's a powerhouse. Slinging the back.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Thank you for popping by halftime of the week. It's
- 35:14Speaker 2: always good to see you at halftime of the show,
- 35:15Speaker 2: but this is halftime of the week.
