0:53
right, yeah, I know I can hardly tell. And Denzil Snipes joins
0:59

1:03
bar Rike up there. He had his lights and signs going, you're scaring
1:07
me. Yeah, I'm sure you did. Obviously you were also running from
1:10
funding funding because of the right of us. Okay, is mister Punning himself
1:14
want a transition? Jacob Christie Ball right scares me with that mustache. He
1:19
needs to shave it. And be like something, Yeah, it looks like
1:22
he's got a fat revolver on his hip, right now, Yeah, right,
1:27
Beard, he's got a fat ball on his hip. And we think
1:30
that until he starts talking, and then we know better. I can't believe
1:36
I'm doing this, Beardless, but I got sick, and tire says,
1:38
all right, I'm done with that, he wrote. And last one,
1:41
not least JB ls. We got to JB one on top of each other.
1:46
What's up, mister Ls. Of course, if you get rid of
1:49
your mute button, then we can hear you. If you don't, then
1:51
we'll assume you lost your voice. Which, ah, well, let's get
1:57
to the topics. We have a lot of them, allowing The Sports exchangeon
2:00
Confidential follows us at right around the top of the hour. Well, you
2:04
know what, let's start this way here in South Florida. Miami is a
2:07
fifth metro area to lose the NBA and NHL titles in the same year.
2:13
Well, we'll start with the particulars. Twenty twenty three, it was a
2:15
heat in the Panthers. Twenty sixteen. We had the Golden State Warriors in
2:19
the San Jose Age Sharks nineteen eighty to seventy six Ers and the Flyers,
2:23
in nineteen seventy two the Knicks and the Rangers, and in nineteen fifty eight
2:28
to Celtics and the Bruins. All Right, mister W. W. Wayne
2:30
Weinstein, you know, it's tough to lose two it arown in the same
2:35
city, but it's not done now five times. What's your thought about that?
2:38
Well? I think you know, last year Philadelphia, you know,
2:42
they lost, the Eagles lost, the Phillies lost, they lost in the
2:45
MLS Cup, so they lost three championships. We only lost two, so
2:49
we're doing pretty good. You know. Down here. We did get to
2:52
the final four. In basketball. We did have Nova win Division two,
2:55
so we did have some winners, unlike you know, the others that didn't
2:59
have anything, so that part was good. I think Nicola Yoki was too
3:05
big and too strong for us in the middle. He controlled the games basically
3:10
Jimmy Butler. I don't know if he was injured or what, but he
3:14
didn't play like himself as far as Panthers will go, I think defensively,
3:20
Vegas was too tough for the Panthers. They were young, they were gritty,
3:23
they were hungrier, Okay, Jeremy, what a great thing for Miami.
3:32
I mean, two teams in the finals of their respective sports. You
3:38
can't ask for better than that. I mean, Detroit would die if we
3:42
had two teams in the finals. All right, well what that said,
3:46
Jeremy. I want you to read what George Iiicorn has to say about this.
3:49
Miami in South Florida was the only the city to host four title series
3:53
games in four consecutive days. No town has ever done that. Thank you,
3:57
George, appreciate the whole comment. Sorry Tiley. All right, Dan,
4:00
well, first off to South Florida. You know what a time you
4:05
know you got there. I was I was thinking maybe you come out one
4:10
out of two. Um. But here's the thing. Both teams ran into
4:15
two buzz saws. It is what it is. You know, when the
4:18
owner opened up the Las Vegas Golden Knights, he said we would win the
4:24
Cup within six years. Y'all have heard that. You know they went their
4:29
first year and they lost to Washington. Is what it is. You know,
4:31
they've been in the playoffs. They didn't make the playoffs last year,
4:34
and then this year they get the number one seed. Here's the thing.
4:38
Both the heat and the Panthers lost to number one seeds. You know,
4:42
they just fled out, ran into better squads and just like I said on
4:46
Basketbros. The pump the stage coach turned back into a pumpkin, like we
4:51
like, we kind of kind of thought that might happen, right, you
4:55
know. Doesn't take away from the guts of these teams. These two teams,
4:59
they did that. You know. The Panthers knocked out a number one,
5:02
that heat knocked out a number one. Heat knocked out the number one
5:04
of the NBA. Oh and so did the Panthers, you know. And
5:09
everyone loves to think of a great Cinderella story, you know, but sometimes
5:12
it just doesn't happen. Sometimes sometimes the best team does win, thank him.
5:18
Yeah. And here's the thing. There's only one way I'm ever going
5:23
to get on anyone that for losing the finals because they got there. The
5:28
only way I'm ever gonna get on anybody like that is if they don't come
5:31
up the next year and try it again and they don't build on it.
5:34
And the thing is, I don't care that these two teams missed. That's
5:38
fine because you made it there. And guess what, these are two the
5:41
teams that they faced for better. Yeah, but you know something, thanks
5:46
Will. It's like the teams were better, Las Vegas was better, Denver
5:49
was better. Period. That happens. It's called the human life. You
5:55
get someone better. The only way that this does not and the only way
5:58
that you shop that we should ever have to worry about any of this them
6:00
losing is that they don't come up with it. They don't go get some
6:04
they don't get players. You know, neither team goes and gets players to
6:06
go get themselves there to go fare us a job. And if they don't
6:10
do that, then it was all or not. But right now, at
6:13
this point in time, they made it and they need to just build on.
6:17
Okay, JB. Two extraordinary seasons, both teams nobody expected to end
6:24
up where they were. Unfortunately, Denver was phenomenal. In the playoffs,
6:29
Daily lost the one home game to Miami, which no other team beat them
6:32
at home. And you know, Vegas, although they didn't have the best
6:36
record at hockey, they were the best team in the playoffs this year.
6:41
They were the only team that were hotter than the Panthers at one point.
6:46
And I'm sorry. Beating Carolina in the Eastern Conference Finals. John's here that
6:48
they weren't the best team to be in the Eastern Conference Finals. It's just
6:54
that they happen to beat Boston in the first round. You know, once
6:58
they got past Boston, road to the Eastern Conference Finals wasn't that difficult.
7:02
But Vegas was the best team that they faced. And you can't be upset
7:06
for losing to teams that are better, you know. I always say,
7:11
if you're going to lose in the playoffs, if you lose to the team
7:13
that won the championship, you did the best you could. And both teams
7:17
made the championship. So obviously they lost to the team that won the championship.
7:23
And they just had great years that nobody expected. And like Jacob said,
7:27
now you got to build on it for next year. What was good?
7:30
You know? What? Do you need to make it to that next
7:31
level to get over the hump and win rather than lose? You know?
7:36
Well, I know one thing I did catch the tail end after that was
7:40
over, because I was obviously tied up with a couple of shows last night,
7:44
And what I did catch was that the Panthers are battered after that Boston
7:46
series, and a lot of players went ahead suffered broken ribs throughout the course
7:51
of the playoffs. So the fact that they even made it the way they
7:55
did, let's face a jab. All you guys are right. The Miami
7:58
heat ran into a bus. Let's face it. The only thing about Denvers
8:03
are on the West coast, and nobody sees these guys. If we saw
8:05
them in these coasts, we know how much better they really are. Well,
8:09
guess what, they were much better than most people think Panthers. Meanwhile,
8:13
you know, when you defeat the President's Cup trophy, that's broken every
8:16
NHL rerecord on the planet. That speaks volume. But yeah, they did
8:18
cruise by Toronto and Carolina and in the past of Tampa Bay Lightning have been
8:24
their achilles healing. The Tampa Bay Lightning were ousted by Toronto. So but
8:28
hey, that's just the way it goes. Panthers took the step. We'll
8:30
see what happens. They have a few free agents. Put more power to
8:33
the Cats. I really give them a lot of credit in Vegas in six
8:35
years, like George Eichorn says, have a tremendous and soundly managers NHL franchise.
8:41
Yeah, but remember they were built differently back in the day when we
8:45
were watching expansion teams, you got the bottom of the barrel and it took
8:48
them years. Now, expansion chiefs are set up like Seattle and Vegas to
8:54
win much quicker. I'm not going to get into that. We have a
8:56
lot of things to talk about, but every one of you all talked about
8:58
some key stuff. Now, this is a topic we ran last night,
9:01
and I want and I've decided it was so good I'm going to give a
9:05
bunch of different voices an opportunity to comment on it. That well, it
9:09
pays to me great as a New York Yankee when you talk about the list
9:13
of numbers. When I refer to the Baseball Show last night. So,
9:16
as I said before, here's the thing the New York Yankees. Here,
9:20
I'm going to list all the retired numbers. This is just unbelievable. It's
9:24
just mind boggling. Billy Martin number one, Derek Jeter number two, Babe
9:31
Ruth number three, and of course that number was handed because he went out
9:33
there and batted third in the order, Lou Garrett number four, Joe DiMaggio
9:39
number five, Joe Tory number six, Mickey Mantel number seven, Yogi Berra
9:45
number eight, Phil Dickey number eight, Roger Marri's number nine, Phil Rizzuto
9:50
number ten, Thurman months and number fifteen, Whitey four number sixteen, Jorge
9:56
Posada number twenty, Paul O'Neill at twenty one, Don Manningley number twenty three,
10:01
Nelson Howard number thirty two, Casey Stengel thirty seven, Mariona Rivera forty
10:07
two, Reggie Jackson forty four, Andy Pettitt forty six, Ron Guidry forty
10:13
nine, and Bernie Williams fifty one. And Jackie Robbins has retired universally across
10:18
the board. So with that said, okay to me, I'm gonna lead
10:22
off with Wayne, what are your thoughts about all these were numbers retired,
10:28
because right now the Yankees don't have any. To me, they don't have
10:31
any single digit numbers unless you count zero, then that's correct. And eventually
10:37
you're, you know, the way that he's you know, started his career.
10:41
You may not have a ninety nine because Aaron Judge maybe the next one
10:45
to have his retired of the current squad, He's maybe one of the only
10:48
ones that I could see. Garrett Cole, I don't think he's been with
10:54
them long enough to really anyway now. But he hasn't even been with them
10:58
long enough to even consider that. Um. But like I said, Aaron
11:01
Judge is the only one that I see right now of the current squad of
11:05
even having a chance. But I guess you know, you come up on
11:09
this organization, you got to start picking whatever number you can get, like
11:13
Jake Bowers number sixty one. I mean, you have a lot of these
11:16
guys that are wearing spring training numbers. So when you're a Yankee, I
11:20
guess that's all you can hope for, just to make a major league roster.
11:24
Well, when you're immortal in their eyes, they let you know they
11:28
appreciate you, all right, Jeremy, I don't know what you did to
11:31
get Candy Candy ramped up, but you know it might be into the glomer
11:35
pile. Shame, shame, shame. But you better listen to Candy because
11:37
she'll make sure all the stories you turn in aren't corrected, and then you'll
11:41
dramatically look like a fool. The grammar is good, it's the spelling that's
11:46
bad. Get it right, all right. For a lot of people,
11:50
you don't want to anger. Don't anger Miss Candy all right, you talked
11:52
a little bit about it yesterday. You can elaborate a little bit more until
11:56
we go around the horn with the rest of them. I mean, what
11:58
can you say, Hey, they've got the most World Series They've had a
12:03
phenomenal run throughout the entire history of the Major League Baseball. So that being
12:07
said, the only team that has even closer to that is the Cardinals,
12:13
which twelve Isabel Vogel says. So that's and just like you said, ninety
12:18
nine will probably be the next for the Cardinals. It'll be five for Albert
12:22
DALs, right, true, Okay, man, what can you say?
12:28
They're pretty soon they're all just gonna be out there with just no numbers period.
12:31
Here in ten years, you know, you're gonna run out of numbers
12:33
to where. Don't forget twenty seven may get retired by the end of his
12:37
career also, you know, but it just goes to just the storied history
12:41
of the New York Yankees, going on our way back to the Cathedral Baseball
12:46
on through the forties, fifties, sixties and whenever was it wasn't it um
12:50
The only other no hitter thrown in World Series history? Don Larson wasn't that
12:54
a Yankee that did it? Yes, yes, yes, you know.
12:58
So again it just tells the rich history about it. It's but but it
13:03
also kind of makes you slightly disappointed that the twenty tens was the only decade
13:09
that they did not appear in the World Series. So uh it you know,
13:13
bringing this up, I'm sure if a Yankee fans JP will vokes in
13:18
um in the comments and everything. You know, you kind of long for
13:20
those days back, you know, and you kind of wonder like when they
13:22
are coming back, that's for the Jerseys retired? Oh man, that's outstanding.
13:26
That is they're just gonna run out of Jerseys soon, okay. J
13:33
I mean I saw George's comment that they kind that he thinks they may have
13:37
overdaught it. I would love to know, you know who on that list
13:41
he doesn't think deserve to have the number retired, because you know, I'm
13:45
looking at the list. I have it up on my phone. Just go
13:48
and throw it right now. It's really everybody there was a key for you
13:52
know, Yankee success. You know, we don't get twenty seven World Series
13:56
without any of these guys, right, you know, and you look at
14:00
you have a lot of the guys from the ninety six squad that went up
14:05
all the way through the edge. You have Rod Gidrey, who was phenomenal.
14:09
Um. You know, I can't make a case for any of these
14:13
guys not to have the number retired. I know Wayne said earlier, maybe
14:18
Garrett cole golf a bid. I'd like to see them trade him as soon
14:22
as possible, since what I got to catch the Tampa Bay. You know,
14:26
we could get some quality pitching and get rid of him. Maybe maybe
14:31
some outfielders get something. He wants to go fifty eight Colt alone. You
14:37
don't need him. The only thing I want to say, the only name
14:41
on there that stands out is not one of the best, but it's because
14:46
he had the same number as one of the best. That was Bill Dickey
14:50
Yogi. He had Yogi Bear as a number before it was retired. So
14:54
that's the only reason why his numbers retired, if you think about it.
14:56
Good point. I don't know. I think that he you know, there
15:03
was a reason why they you know, they gave it to him, and
15:05
they would have retired it. I'm looking it up as we speak, you
15:09
know. And right after that he played right after the ear Yogi Bearra I
15:15
believe, and that's why. And the number wasn't retired yet, Bill Dickie.
15:20
Let's see, he played wait nineteen twenty nine to nineteen forty one.
15:28
Yes, so while Yogi bearra I had it too, So you know what
15:31
I'm saying. They were on the same team. Yeah. Interesting, Yeah,
15:37
because he took he took Babe Ruth spot when he was gone, so
15:41
they didn't give him three because three was already gone. And then when Yoga
15:45
Barra retired, he had eight. Okay, Yogi Berra played after that.
15:50
Yeah, but yeah, I can't see anybody right now on the car Yankees
15:56
having the number retired, not even Judge. Okay, you need to win
16:03
championships for the Yankees, you know, home runs need nothing. You know.
16:07
The only reason why Maris is so revered. They got his number retires
16:11
because he went championships. Get it, seventy home runs, It doesn't mean
16:15
anything. Of the Bronx, we don't win a championship. Oh. I
16:18
couldn't agree with you more, Jamie. I really couldn't. And that's the
16:22
one organization that's measured by championships, probably more than any and that's why they
16:26
have more all right, Jacob, go ahead. I'm just listening to JB
16:30
talking about seven and one to two point eight four r A Pictures trade.
16:34
Wanted to trade the guy he is the This guy is the Randy Quaid from
16:40
three two of this place. Is not the half left inside out and losers
16:53
at least stop consistent. He doesn't deserve and what to the playoffs? For
17:00
forty million a year, you shouldn't lose a playoff game he's pitched. He's
17:06
pitched a couple of you know, winter goal playoff games. The Yankees have
17:10
it one Houston beat them, Tampa Bay's beating them. So forty billion dollars
17:15
a year is wasted if you can't get a W in that situation. But
17:18
the but I'll tell you this, I think I do think I can say
17:22
this. I do think Aaron Judge is getting it. I think he'll get
17:26
the ninety nine retired. I will tell you this part right now. I
17:30
don't think anybody else because I'll tell you why. It's not because the Yankee,
17:33
Because the Yankees are aways going to be The Yankees are always gonna get
17:36
the Alcs eventually a World Series. They're always going to be there because they
17:38
always already be able to contend. But the fact remains that we just have
17:44
a much bigger version of the free agency now. People will not stay that
17:48
long able to get that. So I think ninety nine will be the last
17:51
for a while. Yeah, I agree, you know, I know John
17:55
Carlos stant won't get his retired, But no, I agree with their championships
17:59
should really, in my opinion, the end result for that organization because they
18:02
hold a much higher standard. All right, let's go on to the Denver
18:04
Nuggets, shall we. Okay, the Denver Nuggets are world champions. He
18:07
defeated the Miami Heat four to one of the finals, first title for Denver.
18:11
Nicolea Yokis Finals MVP, averaging thirty point two points per game, fourteen
18:15
point rebounds a game, seventeen point two assist per game, is the first
18:19
player in NBA history to lead in points, rebounds, assist in a single
18:23
postseason. I'll tell you what you know. That to me is a stat
18:29
that's heard around the world because every major network is talking about it. All
18:33
right, Jeremy b you have the lead on this and everybody will follow suit.
18:37
Okay, Jeremy, what a fantastic playoff performance. You can't ask for
18:41
better than that in the basketball era. I mean, that's amazing. What
18:47
else can you say? Well, I guess you said it's amazing, right,
18:53
Okay, all right, JV. Honestly, do you know the most
18:59
the greatest stats, but the most boring player. Watch That could be why
19:03
Denver doesn't get talked about. Watch him on the court. He looks so
19:07
effortless. It's almost boring to watch joke kick. It's not fun, you
19:15
know, but great player. I'm not taking anything away from him, just
19:18
not flashy, very plain, boring, phenomenal. Okay, all right,
19:26
Wayne, Well, I guess the amazing thing is is if you look at
19:30
him, he kind of looks like he lacks athleticism, you know, just
19:34
a big guy, you know, not fast, doesn't look like he's got
19:40
the ups of many players. But yet grabbing every rebound, finds men that
19:45
are open's you know, HiT's the shots inside. It's just three point shots,
19:51
you know. I mean, yes, granted, he does have a
19:52
lot of help around him. Murray also had a triple double, so he
19:56
had a lot of help off the bench. Broun Or he beat Brown and
20:00
Bruce Brown both played really well off the bench. So he did get a
20:06
lot of support as well. But yeah, the guy does everything and just
20:11
when you watch him, he just looks very unathletic, but yet he doesn't
20:17
job every night. Okay, Denzil, you're up, all right. I'm
20:23
gonna dedicate this right here to the casuals out there who already came out of
20:32
the woodworks trying to take credit away from Yokis and his performance, saying that
20:37
he had an easy road to the championship because he'd beat an eighth seed,
20:41
a four seed in a seventh seed. Since when is anybody anybody in sports?
20:48
Since when do they control who they play? Right? You sound exactly
20:55
like you started watching sports two days ago. He beat who was put in
21:00
front of him, period, because had he lost to an AH seed,
21:03
you'd be talking about how he didn't deserve MVP after all, how the Nuggets
21:07
were frauds and everything. And see, this is the problem with sports is
21:11
whenever you have a superior team playing against the lower seed, they can't win
21:15
for squat because if they beat him, you didn't beat anybody. If you're
21:21
lost, y'all a frauds. Stop taking it. This is their first championship
21:26
and y'all are not gonna sit here and take that away from him or that
21:30
city. You sound like you just started watching sports two days ago. Just
21:33
like I said, go ahead, Oh bear in mind. I think it's
21:37
you know, it took forty seven years for this team that came to the
21:41
NBA's part of an NBA merger to finally cracked through. So when you think
21:45
about the same, because God tea lays does not mean that God denied.
21:49
Let's face it, Denver was to me the team of destiny is what they
21:53
really were, and they definitely proved to be that. They beat everybody in
21:57
front of him. Hey to Miami's they did too. How many coaches hit
22:00
the unemployment line when Miami got done with them, So you know, if
22:06
you want to go to Milwaukee, there's the one that went. I didn't
22:08
they faced the seventy six ers I believe, or they didn't face I don't
22:12
know. It doesn't matter a couple of coaches much to the unemployment line.
22:15
So the reality is that Denver Nuggets to me are on the West coast,
22:21
so really nobody knows about him anyways, But now they do. Can they
22:25
go out there and went a time I don't care. Let him enjoy their
22:26
first one first, let him and let Michael Malone motivate them. Because one
22:30
thing people have to understand, he's the most underrated coach in basketball, coach
22:34
of Sacramento Kings. Got a second opportunity and he made the most of it.
22:40
How many times have we seen coaches get second opportunities and made the most
22:42
of it? Well, I can think of two off top of my head,
22:45
Chuck Dalien, Bill Belichick and guess what they amounted to titles too,
22:48
So you know, Michael Malone, any more power to m Marrow and Jacob
22:52
go ahead, yeah and say, well the movement, the movement reminds me
22:56
of but Marky. But it's such much different game. It's much different game,
23:02
That's what I'm saying. But the biggest thing is the reason we're dealing
23:04
with this old bs with Yokis is because there are people for on ESPN,
23:10
for whatever reason, are scared the death of Curiod Kendrick Perkins. I mean
23:18
they're they're afraid of a sixty pound I think these three eighty now or something.
23:22
I know that the big old fat dude. I think they're afraid of
23:25
his voice or something. It's like I remember, I remember old JJ Reddick
23:27
coming in. I remember JJ Reddick coming in trying to get a different boy.
23:33
No, I mean to try and not be us. No, they're
23:37
afraid. They're afraid of this guy for whatever he's but it's a tribal situation.
23:41
Guess what. You can't choose who, like you said, Dan's,
23:44
you can't choose who you play. And the biggest thing about Yokich is And
23:49
I'm sorry, I grew up with bird. I'm used to this. It's
23:52
an angles you guys. You have no athleticism, your back is gone,
23:56
whatever the reason may be. And you're still dropping forty so getting seventeen rebounds
24:00
or whatever. You know what I'm saying. Because it's angles, that's how
24:03
the game is. But the pros no, and he knows angles are the
24:07
best of the ability. They didn't want you. They didn't want Yokis to
24:11
be the champion because Yokis is boring to look at. He's not Yokis is
24:15
not what you see on TikTok. But guess what, that's how it's good.
24:18
The game is gonna be saved as we start seeing real game play again
24:22
instead the TikTok we don't see. Maybe maybe if it's not a TikTok game,
24:26
maybe James Harden wins the title. But guess the way it won't be
24:29
so he's not. Well, that's a great line. I love that one.
24:33
That is really good. Yoki isn't TikTok. You know what, Jacob,
24:37
If I could get a tattoo on top of your head, because you're
24:40
one of the only ones it has any hair, I would say, TikTok.
24:45
I have another great nique storyline that really came out of this series,
24:48
and I think a lot of you guys are gonna find it really neat to
24:52
that. East Smith has now played for thirteen teams and he finally got his
24:56
first ring. The Nuggets were the thirteen team, but I'm gonna them all
25:00
off. When I saw this, to me, it reminded me of college
25:04
foot game day. We all come into your city. Oh, I do
25:07
that really good thought. So anyway, I'm the only one laughing at maybe
25:12
I got a good attendant at it's odd Dennis got the Snipers got all right,
25:17
Well, let's talk about the East Smith. I need a movers tour.
25:19
Okay, we got Houston Rockets, the Memphis Grizzlies, the Golden State
25:23
Warriors, okay, the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks all love those Bucks.
25:29
Okay, the Phoenix Suns, Oklahoma City Thunder, the Philadelphia seventy six Ers,
25:34
the New Orleans Pelicans, and yes, the Detroit Pistons, the Washington
25:38
Wizards and Charlotte Hornet's all right, mister ball Reich, what do you think
25:44
about the East Smith Tour? Oh? He's got about what fifteen more teams
25:49
ago? Is it? How maybe we got in the league twenty eight or
25:53
thirty now seventeen more to go? Yeah, let him get it. That's
26:04
a good interesting perspective. Okay, jaybe well, listen, as long as
26:10
you're in the league, it still means you're one of the best, right
26:11
It doesn't matter where you play it. Somebody's got to win. You know,
26:15
you're part of it. You helped the team get there. Whether you're
26:18
the last guy on the bench or you know, the best player on the
26:21
team. Your hard work has helped that team get there. It's not a
26:25
one person game. It's not boxing, you know, or MMA where it's
26:27
just you against your opponent. It's the whole team. So he earned the
26:32
championship piece helped the teams. It just says a lot about his desire to
26:37
still want to go out there after he doesn't fit in with the team.
26:41
Not easy to do. Hey, Wayne, thirteen teams, I mean if
26:45
he's sponsored by Nationwide Van Lines, I mean that's a lot of teams.
26:53
Yeah. Hey, wait, I'll tell you what. If you get the
26:56
sponsorship for us, We'll give you a piece of the action. Go ahead,
27:00
Yeah, yeah, I mean thirteen teams you think. I mean you
27:07
got to be doing something, right. I mean, if that many teams
27:08
are interested in you, and I'll take a long term. But if you're
27:12
watching the lol, Jeremy ball right definitely has it. And you know what,
27:17
Wayne, Sorry interrupt you, but I got to do this because this
27:19

this whole operation. Wayne, did you conclude your thought? Do you want
28:17
to add a little bit too it? I concluded my thought. Well,
28:19
I'll tell you I was able to read you nicely. Okay, don't worry,
28:22
Jeremy. I don't you know a woman to have an opportunity to get
28:25
my hat knocked off beause somem otricity, madmouth at And I take a lot
28:27
of pride because Denzel snipes once one. Now go ahead, Jen's the only
28:33
thing that I have to say about this, And I know it's a different
28:37
sport, but hear me out Okay, y'all know who quarterback Josh Johnson is
28:41
took. You gotta be okay. That's good, like a great mind's thinking,
28:53
like I guess, oh look at that. Oh I love this.
28:56
It was short, but you expand on it gold No, no, no,
29:00
you do it, verset you didn't you started no, but but no.
29:07
When you get a Josh Johnson, you get this guy. You get
29:10
all of these and this is the the reason they're there. It's you get
29:12
your stars. Okay, you get your sixth man, you get your okay,
29:17
your backup quarterbacks, you get all of these. Everybody has a role
29:19
on the team. Like a Josh Johnson is a good Josh Johnson's around this
29:25
long because he knows every offensive system in the league. If you've been in
29:30
fifteen teams, this guy now knows every offensive system in the league. Now
29:36
you know in his league NBA, he knows every single one of them.
29:40
You want to know what this is going to lead to? Coaching? This
29:42
is going to lead to coaching later, assistant coaching, everything like that,
29:45
And considering how Sam Cassell just made it to a big one. Bobby Jackson
29:49
just made them he may I mean no, Sam and Sell Celtics Bobby Jackson.
29:53
Now six ser these guys, they're future coaches. This guy can go
29:57
make it, but he can get into the video booth or you know what
30:00
we can call it now is that the video booths like you Tom Jana bitch,
30:03
but you get my points. He can start from somewhere and get to
30:07
that, and it's like, that's the way, and maybe that's the way
30:10
to do it. That's gonna get people, that's going to get that's gonna
30:14
get players to think about what else you do with the league if you're not
30:17
the big guy anymore. Because I guess what, Moses Malone did not have
30:21
that when he was in his twenty first season after two points, right,
30:23
because it wasn't a thought process of that. It was you play it out
30:27
and go get your check. Now, these guys have a different world.
30:30
This is why I said it's a different era, all right, you know,
30:33
Jeremy and I want you to go ahead and read George I thorns con
30:37
and I really like this one. Love the Nuggets expistence connections. Bruce Brown
30:41
Contavious called well, pol Reggie Jett the Pope, Reggie Jackson is Smith plus
30:45
coach Malone is the son of existence assistant coach Brendan Malone. And I got
30:51
to know Brendon alone alone, real well because I work with him during the
30:53
Bad Boys era. So thank you very much for George abren a history up
30:56
with that said, Jeremy, you get to read another one too from the
31:00
man. And he's got my lucky number thirty three in it. It go
31:03
ahead thirty three years ago tonight the Pistons won their second of back to bad
31:07
Bad Boys NBA titles. That would have been something like that. And you
31:11
know what, I'll tell you what. We'll vogel. Okay, I can't
31:15
ignore the man who appears in every chat room imagine all. That's what you
31:19
call a journeyman. Okay, that's what you call the understatement of the night.
31:22
We'll we'll go thank you, you better believe it. But he's right
31:26
on that one. It's for sure now he really is, Okay, and
31:27
then we'll go back to George I corner. I'm getting a little happy fingers.
31:32
That's why they're going up a little bit. Maybe it should be happy.
31:34
And the new team has one title instead of the same well teams a
31:38
long time ago. It was a while before there weren't many that repeated.
31:42
So George is on fire tonight. So all right with that said, Okay,
31:45
everybody got their piece of the East Smith action. Let's go to the
31:48
sports sound of the week. You predicted it was Dinverse scale of one to
31:52
ten. Jeremy, what do you have? It's for me because they keep
31:57
showing out even though the Rockies are horrible. You gotta give him a ten.
32:00
Yeah, okay, all right, JB. I don't know. For
32:05
some reason, I just never felt like Denver was a huge sportstown. The
32:08
Broncos used to be great, the Rockies were good at one point, the
32:14
Nuggets an avalanche, sure their best hopes right now. Obviously the Nuggets just
32:19
one. But for some reason, being from New York originally, I don't
32:23
look at Denver as like a sportstown. It just it just happened to be
32:28
there and have teams. So maybe an eight, okay, or let's go
32:32
to Wayne, and I agree with JB. I don't necessarily consider Deniver a
32:37
huge sportstown. Maybe years ago, back when the Broncos were good. Colorado,
32:43
maybe the Rockies, maybe a few years ago back in the Larry Walker
32:45
days. You know, they've got the Avalanche, who have played well,
32:50
although they've disappointed a little this year because they didn't go as far as people
32:54
expected them to, you know, and the Nuggets played well. I'd probably
32:58
give them an eight as well. Okay, dns Uh. I've been to
33:04
Denver, really laid back city if no one's ever been, you know,
33:08
laid back people and everything, and they have a I mean between the Niggats
33:13
and Aba obviously and the you know, the days of the Denver Broncos and
33:16
whatnot, seeing Alway and coming out in the snow and snowy amount high and
33:21
watching Alway throw touchdown passes and everything. Um, I'm gonna give them an
33:25
eight, but not for the reasons JB or Wayne did, but because well
33:30
obviously, like I would have like New York Detroit, you know, like
33:34
higher than that. But I'm I'll give them an eight. They're loyal,
33:37
I'll tell you that much. They're loyal. Take him seven. I give
33:42
him a seven. Um, it's a Broncos town until the other team start
33:45
doing good. It's like you do. Broncos can be two and fifteen.
33:50
I mean, yeah, Broncos can be two and fifteen, and they're gonna
33:53
they'll yell the scream the hobby. They'll be there if you if you get
33:57
a really really bad Avalanche team, you get a really really bad Bret Nuggets
34:00
team that I showed up, It's a Broncos town, all right, Jeremy,
34:02
read this one. I'm sure our writer friend Tony DeMarco and your mentor
34:07
Scott would give Denver a ten. Well, you know what, I'm giving
34:10
them a ten two, And so did Jordan Long last night. One hundred
34:14
and eighth. Such as baseball dolls. I'll tell you why. Number one,
34:16
Let's say the Broncos have always been the class of Denver. They'll get
34:20
it figured out. And I had the good fortune of seeing them win a
34:22
Super Bowl, Super Bowl thirty three mina here in South Florida. I've always
34:27
loved the Broncos. The Rockies will draw if you can give them something to
34:30
cheer for, and I will draw. What's that, Jeremy, They still
34:35
draw. They've had bad seasons so long and they still fill that stadium.
34:38
It is a draw. And say what you want. The Avalanche and the
34:43
Broncos they fill that stadium. The NBA is now filling the stadium. So
34:47
if you think about it, that's four stadiums out of four major sport that
34:52
is filled. That's a ten. Yeah, No, I'm with you.
34:57
Excellent points on the way around, Jeremy. But here's the thing. I
35:00
know the Rockies will draw. And I had the good fortune of working with
35:02
the Rockies during spring training and there people treated me really, really well.
35:06
I love the Broncos the Avalanche. But you know what, I'm glad.
35:09
One of the reasons I brought up this topic here, okay, is when
35:13
you think of it, four of owners Stan Cronkis US teams have won championships
35:16
in the last two years. Ready for this when I will talk about piling
35:20
onto our sports fount of the week. Here we go. The twenty twenty
35:23
three Denver Nuggets is you know, won the NBA Super Bowl, The Rams
35:28
won the Super Bowl recently, twenty twenty two Stanley Cup champs, Colorado Avalanche
35:32
and how about the twenty twenty two NL I guess that means Natural Lacrosse League
35:37
Cup Champs, but Colorado Mammoth. And of course I've already alluded to the
35:42
great history of the Broncos and the Rockies. So you know what, I
35:45
love Denver myself. I've always seen one game. When the Red Wings went
35:47
out there and played the Avalanche at the Arena that day, I think tore
35:51
it down and they built another one. But regardless, I have no problem
35:54
with Denver. I think at Denver is phenomenal. A couple more topics to
35:58
go. Let everybody know that Confidential is at the top of the hour,
36:01
so we'll have no We have no problem cruising to that as well. So
36:06
you know what I love hearing and Charles Barkley talking. I'll tell you what
36:09
he did it again, folks. He says, I love hockey so much
36:13
because you guys only care about winning. There's no drama, no load management,
36:16
no super teams. You can sense the genuine passion and desire these guys
36:22
have for winning. That's why I love your sport. While Charles Barkeley,
36:27
I'll start off this time. That's the reason why I love you. You're
36:30
the one who gets us every day. We all want to think and you
36:32
know, say what we want. In terms of the NBA has earned the
36:36
reason why that their ratings are down everywhere. Dan Zen, you mentioned some
36:39
numbers that they were down in pundits running they were why don't you pull those
36:44
out of the minute for us lease so um, and I'll go ahead and
36:49
doesn't my funding point. The twenty twenty three NBA Playoffs or as a whole
36:53
average five point four seven million viewers. That was the most in five seasons.
36:59
But then as far as the V Finals goes, it's the fifth least
37:01
washed in the modern era, only drawing eleven point six five million viewers.
37:06
You can catch my rent on that on the replay of fun It's funny Glass
37:10
Scott. Yeah, by all means I'm glad you promoted it, because y'all
37:14
you did just reinforced my point anyways about what Charles Barkley said, So I
37:19
want to reiterate one more time when he said and then everybody gets an opportunity
37:22
and commented, so once again he says, I love hockey so much because
37:25
you guys only care about winning. There's no drama. Okay, that should
37:30
be a hashtag when I ultimately do them, because that's what it's going to
37:34
be. No load management, no super teams. You can sense the genuine
37:38
passion and desire that these guys that have for winning. That's why I love
37:42
your sport. And then when you reference the Florida Panthers, that's why these
37:45
guys got more broken bones and they're still playing without taking nights off. All
37:49
right? With that said, Jeremy, I said a mouthful, Then again
37:52
I always do. Anyways, you could go ahead and save me from losing
37:54
my voice and by elaborator on this a little more chart, I agree other
38:01
sports, especially NBA has super teams. And he's right, but uh,
38:06
did I hear five point four million viewers was the average of the playoffs?
38:12
Yes, it average five point four million viewers. Right, The XFL had
38:16
more viewers than the NBA playoffs. You can say what you want. The
38:22
NBA is failing and it's Adam Silver's fault. Well, you might as well
38:28
add the three point play because I remember what I said Jacob and Denzil.
38:32
The three point play to me is the cancer of the sport. Okay,
38:37
it really is. Ever heard the old thing called basketballs the show we privately
38:40
do so well, of course that three point play. Okay, driving to
38:45
the basket, it's the basket NFL and Berkeley will go to the line.
38:49
A little bit of energy here about the play by play side you guys never
38:52
see anyways, there you go, and no, that wasn't the mountain dew
38:54
tag and it was a candidate drive. So with that said, okay,
38:58
who was next? Dens? Okay, you did all right? J b
39:01
Ellis, I'm talking about my played by a player? You want to talk
39:05
about Charles Parkley or a combination of both. Well, I mean, we're
39:08
gonna do play by play ahead, Scott, you got it. We're all
39:12
good. But you know, the NBA, this was a horrible finals to
39:15
want to watch. Why did I say earlier? You get just just not
39:20
exciting. He's phenomenal, you know, textbook basketball, but it's not it's
39:25
not what's done anymore. Everybody wants to see flashy, you know, and
39:30
he's just not flashy. It fundamentally phenomenal. You know, you want your
39:36
kids to watch him play and learn how to play the way he does.
39:38
But are you gonna sit there and enjoy watching it when you see you know,
39:44
guys that are just dunking and doing some phenomenal crazy things. It's a
39:50
different type of thing. The three point shot, to me, has changed
39:52
the game because now teams all they do is they shoot threes. You live
39:57
and die by the three. Everybody shoots three. You've got seven footers that
40:00
shoot three pointers. All you do is you run up the court, you
40:04
shoot a three pointer, either hit or you miss, and that's who you
40:07
win the game. There's no more inside game, there's no more centers,
40:10
and you know in the middle of the blocks, you know, there's no
40:14
more physicality with it. If you look at the guy rogue's a foul,
40:19
you know, the referees are awful. You know, you could see the
40:23
only you know when you know referees games, there's a problem. In baseball,
40:28
it's Adel Helenandez. In basketball, Scott Foster, you know, and
40:32
so you look at things like that. It's just a It was a bad
40:37
playoffs. The stars were hurt. Giannis was hurt, Butler was hurt for
40:43
a couple of games if I remember correctly. Um, you know it was
40:46
went throughout the whole playoff series, the first round. A lot of stars
40:50
missed games. People watch games for stars. They don't watch it to see
40:54
role players. You know, we're not watching to see Max Struce throw off
41:00
the threes? Who cares? Were watching for Jimmy Butler? If you watching
41:05
the Heat, you know, and depending on whatever team it is, you're
41:07
watching for staph A, Golden State, Lebrono the Lakers. You know,
41:12
you're not watching for for the backups or the you know, the six men.
41:17
That's another reason why the system is ben But they got to do something
41:21
with the with the ridiculous foal coles, with the flops and you know,
41:27
and the three pointers. They gotta they gotta figure that out because the game
41:29
just can't be run up the court shoot at three. Okay, you missed
41:32
that. That just happens, Tommy, Tom again. Yeah. The only
41:37
thing all load management. Jabi and I know we've talked about it. We
41:38
also talk all our shows. I believe it's you have to play a minimum
41:43
what sixty five games now as I understand it, Yeah, to be eligible
41:46
for the awards. Is that correct? I believe correct. Yeah, they
41:49
should have moved it to seventy myself, but you know, sixty five is
41:52
better. But that's just my opinion. In hockey, don't have to worry
41:55
about this charge. That's great for the regular season, but you know,
41:58
the playoffs, nobody's nobody's to have a load manage when everyone's playing all the
42:01
games unless they're really hurt. So, I mean, you know that's what
42:05
we're talking about. Playoff ratings at Barkley's right. I mean, in hockey,
42:08
players give their role. You know, they play with broken bones.
42:13
They don't care. It's all about winning. You know. It's possibly because
42:16
they don't make the money they make in basketball. You're talking a ridiculous amount
42:22
of the CBA that these guys get in basketball. So you don't want to
42:25
risk your career on an injury if you lose out on sixty million. We're
42:30
in hockey, you're getting a much lower amount, so you need to make
42:34
sure you're playing so you can keep earning that. Well, you know,
42:37
JB, let me point out something that a lot of you guys probably don't
42:39
know, but when I read on it today, the Autaho Senators were sold
42:43
for one billion dollars Canadian money and nine hundred and fifty thousand and nine hundred
42:47
and fifty million American money. And you know what are the average rates for
42:52
franchise the United States. Well, that's not a lot of money. What
42:53
I mean by that, Jab and the rest of y'all, okay, is
42:57
the fact that you're right, the money that in hockey is as high.
43:00
And then even talks about franchise sells as well. So JB, that further
43:04
documents your point a little bit more than the waterwa Solers the one billion dollars
43:08
Canadian and nine hundred fifty million America. Just thought i'd throw that in there,
43:12
Okay, Wayne, Um. I think as far as uh, let's
43:15
the NBA goes, I think a lot of people, you know, when
43:19
we talked about Denver and people were saying, oh, Agenia wasn't necessarily the
43:22
sexy pick. You know that people wanted to see. I think people wanted
43:27
to see Boston and the Lakers, maybe even Miami and the Lakers, but
43:30
I think most people wanted Boston and the Lakers. Refereeing, as JB said,
43:35
in both series, NBA n NHL was horrible, but can cause a
43:39
team to win or lose. But as far as the desire in the NHL,
43:44
let's just look at the Panthers. For example, you had Barkov Well,
43:49
first of all, he was in a paternity suit over his child that's
43:52
been ongoing. Brandon Montour, he was dealing with his wife given birth to
44:00
and to a new baby. You had Radko Goodis had a sprained ankle that
44:05
would have kept him pretty much out of who knows how many games if it
44:08
were the regular season. You had Aaron eckbled. He dealt with two separated
44:14
troll two dislocated shoulders throughout the series. To begin with, you had Kachuck
44:20
didn't play in Game five, played in games three and four with a broken
44:22
sternum. Johnham was so bad that he couldn't even get out of bed.
44:25
His brother had to help him get out of bed. Right, So we
44:28
talked about desire and most other sports that wouldn't happen. All right, let
44:32
me go to a comment that George Eichorn made and then I'm going to go
44:35
to Ugen's and then Jacob, and then we have two more topics, so
44:37
we get over the confidential. Jeremy, you said that you hadn't say on
44:39
this right? Is that correct? Players? Yeah? Go ahead, and
44:45
George, hockey players, do you have it such a desire to win the
44:46
cup? All those playoff bears showed the grittin determination. It's more than that.
44:52
It's the fact that they can have minor injuries and they still go out
44:54
and play. They got they They are there to earn their money, They're
45:00
there to win, and I love hockey players because of that. Good guy,
45:06
Thanks for reinforcing that. You're you're one hundred percent right, Jeremy,
45:08
go ahead, duns. Charles Barkley basically said that the NBA has way more
45:14
divas than the NHL, and I agree anyone that a he's you know,
45:21
But as far as and I'm gonna actually add to what you said, Jeremy,
45:24
is I think in this case two things can be true. As far
45:27
as the viewership, I think Adam Silver could be in fault, but also
45:31
the fans of hypocrites. Now here's a snippet of what I said earlier tonight.
45:35
Okay, again, the entire rent is on you know, Punet's punnet,
45:38
and that is the fans of hypocrites. And here's why, Because you
45:40
have some fans out there that say, man, I want to see parody.
45:44
I want to see parody. You know what I mean? You would
45:45
think Denver never been before the heat second eighth seed ever to make it okay,
45:51
all right, we've got some parody here. Wayne. You alluded to,
45:53
Oh, they wanted to see our jab, they wanted to see oh
45:57
Boston in LA. You know what I mean? This living proof. That's
46:00
Steph Curry and Lebron James control television. Okay, Now you have some fans
46:05
out there, let's say, as long as it ain't the Warriors in the
46:07
in the Lakers. Here, you have the finals where it's not the Warriors
46:10
or the Lakers and you don't show up. M hmm. Let this sink
46:15
in. Okay, good point. Anybody want to add to it before I
46:19
turn order to Jacob. That's definitely right. I mean, you know,
46:22
you got your superstars that people want to see, and they don't. Look
46:27
as we said, they don't. Yo Kitchen should have been a three time
46:30
MVP probably, but people don't want to see him. Okay, all right,
46:35
Jacob, go ahead. I'm gonna give it in. I'm gonna give
46:37
an example here based off of history. Nineteen ninety six Saint Louis and Detroit
46:44
Game seven, Shane Courson's MS. Let's see slapshot pe off the left post
46:52
and then the play on a little bit, Wayne Gretz, you gets stolen
46:57
feder Off scores game over, I get overtime, place goes absolutely and saying
47:02
you break my heart. But I'm staying this. You break my heart on
47:06
that type again. It's like I thought that would be a thing. But
47:07
here's the deal. Two thousand and twenty three, there was a four overtime
47:13
GON game in the playoffs. There was still that same excitement, there was
47:16
still that same deal. You still you probably have two ping, probably still
47:21
had those in the midst of everything. It is a heart attack, wait
47:23
to happen nineteen ninety six, nineteen ninety six, seventy two win bulls ou
47:29
outciting wearing those games. Yeah, you know as far as the bulls,
47:32
No, I'm just saying no. But this is what I'm saying. By
47:35
itself, the game is different from the NBA than it was, is what
47:37
I'm saying. What's how different is the NHL game of ninety six compared in
47:43
twenty twenty three? Not much ping and still a heart attack nineteen ninety six
47:49
to twenty twenty three NBA apples and bricks. And that is why, that
47:55
is why Charles Barkney likes the NHL. That's why of everything. Because you
48:00
look forty years earlier, thirty years earlier, fifty years earlier, twenty years,
48:05
the games still the same. The games is still same excitement. It's
48:07
not the same with the NBA. Okay, I got two topics I want
48:12
to get to and I'm gonna get to him. Okay, this one probably
48:15
doesn't require a lot of time to want to have after that does. Mike
48:17
Breen calls his record one hundred NBA Finals broadcast truly incredible, Jeremy. This
48:22
guy here is definitely the face of the NBA, especially on television. Yep.
48:28
And he's had a great career. Good for you, jb. Phenomenal
48:32
announcer, been around forever, you know, kind of love what he does.
48:37
I actually met him years ago in Miami. I want to sup one
48:40
the nice people he ever made too. Wayne. I think with all the
48:44
layoffs you've seen in newspapers and on TV, kudos to him for sticking around
48:50
and not being let gozel Man. It's almost like Marv Albert passing to towards
48:55
and he ran all the way to the end zone with it. Great for
48:58
him. Take him our eras Brent Musburger, Marv Albert and those he's our
49:05
Era's version, and good for him. And and you know, sudden this,
49:08
you know, this kind of shows the example of, this shows the
49:12
example of it doesn't matter how many the layoffs there are and how many things.
49:15
If you are that's good, If you're that good, you're indispensable,
49:22
period And it's like, just be that good. Okay, final topic of
49:25
the night. Jeremy and I discussed it on Sunday's debut edition of Professor and
49:30
the Pupil. Florida Panthers and Florida Live Arena were charging one hundred dollars for
49:36
a parking, which I do believe we'll have a negative repercussions going forward,
49:40
and to me, you know, there would have been another hundred dollars billhead.
49:44
The Panthers have gotten it back there, all right, Jeremy and I
49:47
want to point out some about the Professor and the Pupil. We had a
49:52
great first day, right, didn't we, Jeremy, We had, we
49:55
did, and people can look forward to watching that on Sunday morning around ten
50:00
Eastern time. The whole idea behind the show is that one big topic and
50:04
we talk about minor sports, and we go out there and bring guests here
50:07
and there, So we're trying to carve a niche market to the minor sports
50:09
will hopefully give that show a much different meaning than it does the most So
50:14
you know, I hope a lot of people can go out there and watch
50:15
it. But again I repeat, our focus will beyond minor sports all right,
50:20
Jeremy, let's talk about what we talked about. Everybody else say it.
50:23
I think with Panthers in Florida Live Arena did with a bad move capitalism.
50:30
I get what they were trying to do, and I hope it bites
50:31
them in the button next year. Jeremy, the bad bird is and I'm
50:35
gonna say it again, it won't why because playoffs are not for the average
50:39
band. They're for the rich and famous. That is why you see every
50:44
star from every town show up when their team is in the playoffs. It's
50:49
disgusting, they say. And it's no different than the NFL. They say
50:52
that, Oh, the NFL is about the average band. And why is
50:55
the nose Bleeds super Bowl ticket seventeen hundred and fifty dollars? JB Listen,
51:05
it is what it is with that. I don't know about Miami as far
51:08
as how do you guys have public transportation you can take to get to the
51:12
stadium. That's horrible then that you're going to charge one hundred dollars. You
51:17
know New York, at Chicago, you can get to any of the stadiums
51:22
via public transportation. So if you choose to drive, it's on you if
51:24
you want to pay one hundred dollars. If there's no way to get there
51:28
other than driving, that's horrible. You know that. That's just fleecing your
51:31
fans. No matter who it is, whether it be the regular fan or
51:36
celebrity fans, it doesn't matter. If you don't have an alternative way of
51:38
getting there other than that, that's not cool. Yeah, Sunrise, Florida,
51:44
And I know Wayne could tell you the same thing. It's pretty much
51:45
located in the Everglades, so other than the Saugrass Mall, it's one thing
51:50
now where the Miami Heat played downtown, public transportation would apply. But I'm
51:52
with you, oh Sunrise, Jamie. When you should you get down here,
51:57
you'll you'll find the difference between the two. The Heat's different animal,
52:00
right, Wayne, correct? And with things With that being said, Scott,
52:05
I've lived probably within about ten minutes or less over the last forty years
52:10
from the Florida Live Arena, which is what it's called now. It's had
52:14
all kinds of names around, but there have been times where it's been upwards
52:19
of forty bucks for parking. Okay, and that was the match up until
52:22
the playoffs now, which were one hundred. Now, the thing that hurts
52:28
that is that a lot of people parked across the street over by Sawgrass Mall
52:32
and walked. Now, at one time, what the Panthers wanted to do
52:37
in Florida Live Arena is they wanted to charge people a walk up fee for
52:42
parking across the street. That never gained traction, So that never ever happened.
52:46
So you still have lots and lots and lots of people that will still
52:51
park across the street for free over at the mall because that's a public parking
52:55
people can't do anything about it. And they walked, They walk right across
53:00
the street, they pay nothing, and they get in quick rush. The
53:06
walk up charge that they wanted to have, isn't that called the ticket to
53:08
go into the game. That's ballsy, and you are correct there. There
53:14
was also a time where the parking fees were included in the ticket fees and
53:20
they didn't charge you to get My brother Mitch and I at one time when
53:24
they first moved into the Sunrise Arena, we were quarterses and ticket holders from
53:30
back from the Miami Arena days. And when they moved over and back then,
53:37
like I said, they were incorporating the ticket fees or the parking fees
53:39
and everything into the ticket fees. Well that kind of went away and they
53:45
started charging for parking. And like I said, we've parked over by the
53:49
mall many times and walked not a very long walk. You're walking with a
53:52
bunch of people, so it's not like it's unsafe because where the mall is
53:57
is not a very unsafe area any So a lot of people will just do
54:01
that anyway, because yeah, a hundred dollars is ridiculous, not to mention,
54:06
you're gonna probably spend a crapload you know, on concessions to begin with,
54:09
pick care over price right well, like I said, kay, mean
54:14
they're fleece on them all right then, So you know, everyone complained about
54:17
inflation and then you got this, you know, and exactly what it's doing
54:21
is adding to the inflation of America. You know, you mentioned, you
54:23
know, like you know, the big stars coming to the game and everything,
54:27
and the price is going up so much pretty soon for Lakers Knicks game,
54:31
the Knicks fans that show up is gonna be bad Boy records, and
54:36
then the the Lakers fans that show up is gonna be everybody on the staff
54:38
of Paramount Pictures. You know pretty soon the common fan aford, you know,
54:45
a common game. But but I also kind of see a way around
54:49
this and hear me out, okay, is they may find ways around the
54:53
one hundred dollars parking. You may see an upticking people uber in the games.
54:57
I know because I did it to a Nationals game just last year.
55:00
Okay, Okay, Jacob, we got the final word on this, Welcome
55:02
to the atl So all I can say, go downtown, try to deal
55:07
with those situations. And I'm talking about you want to find a parking spot,
55:12
especially in a playoff series, especially especially these Turner field back in the
55:15
time, you want to do that kind of thing. Someone will say,
55:17
oh we can buy this. They will just jack you on money and you're
55:21
not guaranteed not to get booted anyway. So it's like this is nothing.
55:24
These prices are nothing. We didn't take them because we either took Martha or
55:30
any of those type of situations. But we know when you live in a
55:35
big city like this eighteen years, this is nothing zip zilch. It's just
55:39
like it's just just another city that's just seen what I've seen for a while,
55:44
all right. The only thing I say is what I said earlier before.
55:45
I think the Panthers are gonna they're gonna bite the bullet over this.
55:50
And I think the fans down in South Florida are gonna be angry because they
55:52
fleece from that hundred bucks. South Florida fans are a different animal, and
55:57
I've always believed that if you try to pull a pass on past, they're
56:00
gonna find a way. Everybody knows that the area is at one of the
56:02
scam areas around the country, and anyway you can get scammed in this area,
56:07
they're going to make it pay for. I know confidentials coming up and
56:09
we're going to go. Go. Also, hold on before you go.
56:13
I think it's what ten after what this will be very easy. I want
56:15
to let JB let people know how you get hold of yourself and when you
56:19
guys do that, and you can go one at a time and then we'll
