  Speaker 1: The rex was not chasing the jeep. Murray, Murray, you there.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: You love sandwiches. Huh, let's go to uh eighty. It
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: was bo wow that Prime Time maybe had a crush
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on Betty Rubble.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: He caught them the game last night, although they won
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the game. You're listening to to Gottson Company.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It is to Gods and Company, presented by FanDuel and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: the FanDuel's Sportsbook. We start today and there's a lot
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: to get to NC DOUBLEA tournament. We have winners and
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: losers from the NCUBLEA Tournament, tailors, winners and losers from
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: over the weekend NC DOUBLEA tournament.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Related, there's flag football to discuss.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Is He's Willhouse and JSN signing a monster deal. But
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: we start with Israel telling us right before we started
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: today that he hates not small Iowa, not a city here,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a city there. He hates today the entire state of Iowa.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Good morning, is he morning morning? Yeah? They're all a unit.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: They all hang out together the Iowans, and you know,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Iowa stayed beat my buddy's team. He's a big Kentucky fan.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: And then obviously the end there with Iowa beating Florida.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I want to go off on Todd Golden.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I want to go off on these young men who
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: are playing basketball with my school's uniform on.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: But really I just want to curse at Iowa because
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: they took.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Advantage of it, because they have their basketball team plays
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: exactly like their football team and try to slow everything
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: down and just try to find just the right time
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: to strike.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It's annoying.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: And you know, if you're a team that misses a
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: few easy shots like the Gators did in the first
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: half and keep it close, then all of a sudden
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: or trail by it double figures, then all of a sudden,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: you're nervous.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It just sucks.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: And I really really really don't like Todd Golden.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: So I'm torn inside whether I want to cheer for
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: his demise or be.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Sad the guy who won you a national championship last year.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I know, imagine imagine my conflict last year.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Waiting while you don't like the guy.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Right, Yes, so there's I mean stud Did you watch
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: the end of that game, even the highlight of it?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: So I know they were up to h and they
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: had fouls to give. They didn't use those fouls. Iowa
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: ran a great play, a terrible defense defense by Florida, So.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I just walked around. I'll stop you at great play.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a great play.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: It was one one screen and full court pressure and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: the Gators just misplayed that entirely.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You had Xavian Lee.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Just kind of standing there like, oh, I'm just gonna
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: let that guy go, and immediately upon inbounding the ball,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: you have a three on two fast break.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: I don't know, is see What do you think about
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: the new analytics discussion from that where Todd Golden in
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: his postgame said his plan was to foul the Iowa player. So,
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: worst case scenario, he makes both free throws, you have
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: the final shot, and again you're going to overtime in
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: that case, or what happened, You don't foul, you wind
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: up getting a you're giving up a three, and you
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: lose in regulations.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: That sounds like Captain Hindsight type shit right there.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: That sounds like trying to fix a huge mistake with
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: what would have been a crazier mistake. Are you telling
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: me you're going to put somebody on the line to
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: tie the game instead of.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Just playing defense.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Potentially tie the game, that's all you say. Potentially time,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you're giving him an opportunity to tie three.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I understand while.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: You're frustrated, you're giving out two free throws, So it's
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: an easy opportunity to tie the game.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Right, make a shot? Yes, so crazy, it's just my work.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Is he just saying if you'll never know if you
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: foul there in that situation, what is your probability to
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: lose in regulation?
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Honestly, you could lose on a tip in of a
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: misfree throw.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: You could lose hold on a second So you make
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a free throw and the second one clanks and someone
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: tips it in and they win.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Taylor asked that question for a good reason. It's zero
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: point one percent, that's all.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: But it doesn't even have to be a tip in
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: because you saw how much time was left. There was
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: time for the Gators to get off an entire full
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: court of or full length of the court play, which,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: by the way, what.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: In the world are you doing this with Savi and
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Lee just going full court.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And then it was the most I think this is
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the phrase I use in a text to Taylor, the
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: most I don't want to win play I've ever seen
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: in my life. Yeah, turn the corner. Once you're there,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: You're the only option, dude. The clock doesn't reset. Shoot
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the damn ball. Throw it five feet in the air
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: if you have to just get that shot off right.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: He was running so fast, he was running so fast
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: to the hoop, he forgot to shoot it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I I got to hear that one.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: I kind of feel bad for Razavian League because he
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: comes over from Princeton.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: He didn't.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: He had nowhere.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Near so smart. That play was it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: He had nowhere near this season that Florida Gators thought
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: he was gonna have. He was solid in that game
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: up until that moment. Unfortunately for Florida, Xavian Lee was
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: just a player that Florida fans kind of thought he
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: was this entire season.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: We knew it, We knew it was gonna come back
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: to by this.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Even Boogie flann like he doesn't even do that much
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: like he does enough.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: He played great defense on Stirts.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I believe their name is for the Iowa player he
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: was fine, It's just how do you end it like that?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: And the whole time I don't know if it was
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: just me or if it was the way. There's like
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: an arrogance to the way the Gators are playing. Ah,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: we gotta get back in this thing. We're gonna take
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: the lead, We're gonna win this thing.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And then they're confident.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, a good reason the confident. You know, but these
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: players won a championship last year.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But so are you telling me?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I just want to be clear here on what it
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: is you're saying as a former Ornegator, someone who cares
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: about this program?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Is it Xavi and Lee? Is that the guy you're
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: talking about? Yeah, say, we never talk about again. Are
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you saying he didn't want to win the game? Is
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that what we're saying? Yes, Okay, dude.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: If you at whatever you are, if you at five six,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Stu Gatts finds himself in March somehow with eligibility again,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: somehow in uniform, and you are turn the corner with
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: a chance to win the game as you leap for
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: a layup. Are you gonna throw that in the air
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: and hope it falls and you get your glory? Or
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: are you gonna just try to turn around and pass
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: it into a forest.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Of big men with zero point.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Five seconds on the clock left and say, ah, what
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: do you guys do it?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you turn a corner and strange things happen. That's
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: all I'm saying. You don't know what's around the corner.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: You're not certain what you're supposed to do once you're
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: met with what's around the corner.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: The kid got lost. I mean, that's all I do know.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: The basket is around the corner, and he didn't seem to.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Man around the corner was a chance at glory and
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: he had.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: He passed on it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Here's my chance that March Madness, all time great play,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: four point five seconds left after a goofball play on defense,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I passed.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mikey, that's your perspective, like you, of course you
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: knew sitting on your couch what was right around the corner.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: But Xavi and Lee in the moment he turned that
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: corner and he saw it from his perspective and got scared.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what happens sometimes.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Boom, but it was it was highly annoying and for me,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: March Madness, it's over brackets, over somebody call me if
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I won the one bracket that I'm in, send me
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the money for me.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Right, it's just starting, it's just cranking up. I mean
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: that Eastern bracket. I'm telling you, the East bracket. The
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen is like a Final four. It is Saint
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: John's and Duke. It is Michigan State and Yukon. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I am telling you that is what March is all about.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I'll be glued to those teams. I cannot believe Rick
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Pattino has Saint John's. Rick Patino himself back in the
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen. Rick Patino going to the Sweet sixteen with
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Saint John's who hasn't been there in forever.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: What an incredible job by him.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Seriously, an awesome job by one Rick Patino, who this
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Saint John's team is going to go far in this tournament.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: And I'm not certain how. I'm conflicted about it? Is
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: he because I don't like Rick Patino, So I'm not
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: even certain what to do. I'm excited about Saint John's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: being there, I'm not excited about Rick Patino being their
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: head coach.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: You know, I've started really watching Saint John's.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: At the Big East, not the Biggast, the Conference tournament.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Uh, And I love the way they play.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: It's very Rick Patino style, very aggressive on a bullish,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: lot of fun. But where I got from that game
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: was Darvin Peterson h.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Twenty one points.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, twenty one points, kind of random points
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: at the end where they really needed him. It was
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: just catching shoot a three whenever he touches the ball.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: And it wasn't like he was getting double triple team
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: every time he touched it. Didn't again Xavian Lee, King
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: of the I don't want to win this thing, yes,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: but Daron Peterson looked like he might have been on
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: that team because I don't. It didn't seem like he
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: really cared that much, wasn't. I know it's not his
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: call whether who's bringing the ball up, but if I got,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: you know, my tournament life on the line, I'm probably
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: not gonna see this guy ever again. He's gonna go
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: to the pros ball. Put the ball in his hands
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: at all the time, forced the defense to play you
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: awkwardly so that you can adjust there. But dark Peterson,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I think he might have played his way out of
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: that number one pick somehow. He's still a top five
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: pick though, right, I mean he's still top right, yes,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: but you know there's there's more than just talent, you know.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: So I think, uh, I think he might have had
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: a bad tournament for him, but you know he's having
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: a great tournaments due oh good boys, Fred Hoiberg Nebraska.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get him on today. Yes, yes I am.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And by the way, I offered Phil Martelly junior, who
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: lost over the weekend, if he wants to be a
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: college basketball analyst the rest of the way, I.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Told him he's welcome here. I did.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: And when we're done with that, I'm told I told listen,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I told him Philadelphia Phillies season, you are welcome for
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: that Eagle season. You're welcome for that. I want that
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: fucking guy breaking down sports. I wanted to do sports radio.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: He wants to do sports radio. It's his dream and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I want to provide that for him. So I am
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: working on getting him as well. Taylor has winners and
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: losers for the weekend. I'm very excited about this.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: So do we want to start with a winner or
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: do we want to start with a loser?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I love starting with a loser. Yeah, okay, really we
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: just started with that. I was just gonna say, wasn't
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that the whole open?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Well, no, he started with a loser. I brought it
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: back to a winner. And Richard that's Reatino, Richard Petito,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Rick Patito at Saint John's.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And so now I want to go back to losers.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: That's all. That's all I'm saying there.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: So my first loser is going back to that Saint
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: John's Kansas game, Kansas's late game fouling situation, Yeah, where
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: they only have two fouls, yeah game, and they decide
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: to use every foul to give, and on that last drive,
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: with whatever it was, three point nine seconds.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Couldn't use the foul to give?
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: Ye could have used the foul to give because that
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: defender looked terrified.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Together Taylor, the entire time, I'm yelling two things. Why
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: are we fouling so soon? At least wait till they
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: cross half court. You could have cut off at least
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: another couple of seconds and leave one, leave one for
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: the defense to screw up. Because if somebody like, if
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: you have three point nine seconds, you saw Xavian legal
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: full court for four.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And a half seconds, you.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Got three seconds, of course you're gonna be able to
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: put a defender in a vulnerable position and create a foul. Man,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: would I have loved to have a foul right there
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: when he thinks he's going to the basket and getting
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: a game winner. But no, he kept going with the
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: stop at five. Please, I'm yelling that. Obviously you can't
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: hear me, right, he is unhinged. Only March could do
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: this to you. What happens, dude? So admittedly I pulled
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: back off of college basketball for a while, right, and
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: then the Gators last year brought me back in. So
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: now I'm watching this year more college basketball. And there's
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of you know, NBA draft top heavy draft situations,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of players, right, and they dragged me
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: back in, and I just see all this terrible play
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: and terrible coaching compared to NBA style stuff, and I'm
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: just like, good lord, it's maddening, especially.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: When you're investing. I mean, these are a bunch of kids.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, their kids are not NBA players
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: that pros yet I mean, cut them some slack.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, when you're getting paid, the adults are getting paid.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Stu my biggest winner from the weekend. Yes, I think
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: this one is unquestioned. John cal Powry Arkansas in back
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: to back Sweet sixteens. Yes, arguably the best player in
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: the tournament. Darius a Cup junior average thirty points per
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: game in the first two rounds. John Calpari is the
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Drake Lyric I had someone tell me I fell off
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: who I needed to, that he needed to be humbled
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: a bit at Kentucky. But once he left Kentucky, that
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: fire was re lit in cal Pari. And we're kind
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: of seeing vintage coach cal right now.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we are back in the sweet sixteen.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Him and Rick Patino were in the Sweet sixteen. I
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: mean this is special. I have no idea what lyric
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: he just recited there.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: That's Drake, but it was it today.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Yo.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Wait wait, I can I compliment Taylor's amazing timely take
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: here with Arkansas and John cal Powi. I'm just gonna
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: give you a number, Taylor, and you tell me what
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: you think this number is. Okay, twenty five is that
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: how much Kentucky lost by No, that is the total
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: number of the seedings of the two teams at Arkansas
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: beat a thirteen seed and a twelve seed.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, So he was in front of you, what are
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you supposed to do. It's mar Man. They had twelve
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Where is I mean?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: They had the one twelve seed they had to beat
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: in the and then get to the sweet sixteen after
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: beating a Hawaii team that you know, we know, we
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: have that one listener on the radio show who loves Hawaii,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: but they had no business in that tournament.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: What do you want coach cal to do in his
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: postgame press conference apologize for not playing better seats?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not his fault.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just say, biggest winner of the weekend.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a guy who had to
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: play a thirteen and twelve seed to advance a.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: Few years from now, he's going to say I was
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: in the sweet sixteen.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: He's not going to say I beat a thirteen and
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: a twelve to get there.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Back to batch sweet sixteenes, yes, so is he.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Took one of my biggest losers from the weekend. It
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: was the Florida Gators, the only one seed that didn't
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: make it to the sweet sixteen. So I'll go ahead
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: to another biggest loser, Cinderella. The only double digit seat
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: in the Sweet sixteen is number eleven Texas, who has
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: the bigest budget in all of college sports.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Cinderella and Texas to not go out together in.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Texas with the biggest budget in all of college sports,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: be a Cinderella tailor put that on the ball, it
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: seems it seems impossible. I mean, they're a major school
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: from a major conference. There are no Cinderella's. I'm okay
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: with that. I don't mind that. I'm fine with that.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: And I think it kind of goes to the question
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: that everybody's asking today, did Nil kill the Cinderella, because
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: now it feels like, while yes, those mid majors are
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: few and far between in terms of getting to the
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: second weekend in the tournament because they didn't get in
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: last year either when coach Callen Arkansas was the only
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: double digits last year to make the tournament, But now
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: it feels like there's more parody in the sport where
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: the parody is just among the major conferences, where a
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: team like Iowa can go ten and ten in the
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Big Ten or a team like Texas can go nine
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: to nine in the SEC.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: So Izzy, this is interesting because what's happened here with
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: college sports is yes, by the way, it has killed
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: the Cinderella, because the Second, all the majors realize there's
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: someone really really good on one of these Cinderella teams.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: He is no longer going to be on that Cinderella team.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: He's going to be playing for tooth the following year.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And so what this has allowed coaches to do is
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: if they're not sure from the major schools, here is he.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: If they're not if they're not certain one hundred certain
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: on a guy coming out of high school, they can
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: let him.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Go where he wants to go for a year, knowing that.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: If he turns out to be the player they thought
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: maybe he would turn out to be, they can go
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: snatch him in the transfer portal.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, I still think there will be your Cinderellas.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I still think there will be a team you know,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: let's say like a high point that to your points
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: to does have a player that maybe hasn't been totally
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: recognized yet and maybe is reaching that ceiling and he's
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: doing it on that Cinderella type of team. But like,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: what I recognized with Texas is like, okay, like myself,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: who is in sports? A lot of people watching this
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: no idea who Texas players are? Right, So really the
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: only reason they don't feel like a Cinderella is because
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: it says Texas on the front. Because I don't know
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: these players. They're an eleven seed. That's a Cinderella story history, yea,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: by our standard, right playing game. Yeah, so that's historically,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: by our standards, this is a Cinderella, but we don't
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: like it because they have all that money to spend,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: and so it's just it really just depends on how
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: you want to view it. And so you know, right now,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: the way most people would say it anyways, is, yeah,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: give me a Cinderella story in the first weekend, maybe
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: through the Sweet sixteen, but after that, you know, give
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: me all the good teams, give me the blue bloods,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: let me see the best on best. And we're a
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: little closer to that, and we don't have that one
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Cinderella story that again was probably going to die off
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: by this Thursday Friday anyway. So I'm not really too
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: worried about that whole concept of it. But it is
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: a change. I guess you could.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Say, yeah, I'm fine, Like, listen, I'm fine with the
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: way the Sweet sixteen worked out. I don't need I'm
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: fine with Cinderella's first round, second round I do not
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: want Cinderella's getting in the way of my final four.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Before I want is Saint John's, Duke, Michigan State, and Yukon.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately they play in the sweet sixteen, so so I.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: I have a quick winner and then I have a
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: longer winner the quick winner, because they're kind of related quickly.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: And on the topic of the parody in the sports,
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: anybody who watched Nebraska Vanderbilt this weekend, I'm putting you
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: all in the winter category because that was the game
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: of the tournament, and then the.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Other winter St. John's and Kansas that wasn't the game
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: of the tournament.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Now it's close close in consideration.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Oh sorry sorry.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: The other winner that I have is the eventual winner
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: of Nebraska Iowa, because if you ask both those teams separately,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: getting to the Sweet sixteen would almost always be just
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: a house money game, unless unless they're playing each other. Now,
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: now there's some stakes attached to it.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I was I'm glad you said that before I got
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: to it, because I was not going to say that
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: exact same thing, but I was going to say in
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: terms of potential cinderellas, even though it's a single seed
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: or single digit seed, that number nine Iowa, Like, it's
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: not just that they are the lowest seed, right, or.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Are they the lowest seed of it? Sorry, the second.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Lowest seed to Texas. Yeah, it's their style of play.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: They play kind of like a mid major, kind of
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: like a you know, an IVY League type of school.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Really work the offense, really work the play clock again,
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: kind of like their football team. A punt isn't the
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: worst thing in the world. A twenty four second shot
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: clock violation is not the worst thing in the world
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: for the Iowa guys, not that that's what they really do,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: but they're a fun team if you like that sort
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: of Indiana Hoosiers type of a style of play.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: And you know, if they make a run, they'd be
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that Cinderella. Is Iowa much more of a Cinderella than
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Texas could be.
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: Like, I feel like, although it's nine and it's a
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: single digit, I feel like they are so much more
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: of a Cinderella than Texas because of all that money
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: and that program.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's the SEC element of it too.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Everybody.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, I was at a big conference too, but
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: people seem to hate the SEC even more.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Why are you guys searching for Cinderella. There is no Cinderella.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: That's have you seen Bridgerton? I think that's what it
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: feel about. I don't care that Texas came from the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: play in game.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: They're Texas and they have more money than any university
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: in college basketball, college football, college sports. There is no Cinderella.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with that. Why are we trying to make
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: one make something out of nothing?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want eye? Would it be a Cinderella? They're
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: too good. March, Yeah, you need one, you just won March. No.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: I want Chalk, I mean I do so I have
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: my final two losers.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's two more.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: People who say old coaches wouldn't be able to survive
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: the nil era. Rick Bettino seventy three, Thomas Rick Barnes
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: seventy one, Kelvin Samson seventy, John cow Party sixty seven,
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: all advancing to the sweet sixteen.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Where is Rick Burne's coaching Tennessee?
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: What been there for like twelve years now?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I think what you know? What beats age money? Well,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that's true.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Tennessee is an annoying team that you watching. You're just like,
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: they can't win it all? Why don't they just lose
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: and go home, but they're gonna fight at the end
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: and pull out a game against Virginia. It's like, oh,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: come on, you're just gonna lose to Iowa State.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, is there a team here is?
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: If the team's remaining, if they won the national championship,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: you would be shocked.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: You're gonna say Texas, right, Tennessee won.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Really I would probably be more shocked by Tennessee winning
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: it all than Texas winning at all.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Let's see anybody else.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, Nebraska, No, you cannot be surprised there
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: are four started.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: What the mayor? I mean, no, you can't. You can
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: be surprised.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I would be surprised if the team that has never
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: won a tournament game won the tournament after their first
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: game in it.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, that would be pretty much a shocker.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: To be fair, I don't think Indiana would want a
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: playoff game.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Before this, I was gonna say, can you imagine a
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: world in which Indiana is dominating football and Nebraska is
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: dominating basketball?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Taylor put that on the poll. Do you want to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: live in that world?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: A world where Indiana dominates college football and Nebraska, who
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: was dominating college football now dominates college basketball.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Oh sounds American though.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds very middle American. Yes.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Then my final loser from the weekend, Yeah, every blue
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: blood not named Duke, Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky, UCLA all eliminated
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: the first weekend, Kentucky with their worst tournament loss since
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: nineteen seventy two.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't get a chance to talk with you
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: about this, Taylor, at least not on the air. What
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: did you think of your boy Hubert Davis's last words
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: potentially on that podium and then after where now you
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: get unc talking about maybe we're just discussing our options
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: at head coach.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you right now, is he We're not discussing
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: our options?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Oh? Really, We're got one option.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: We're just finalizing the language in how this ends. I've
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: said my piece on Hubert Davis. I just want to
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: remember the good times with Hubert Davis. He beat Duke
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: in the final four. That final four run was awesome.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: He ended coach kse career with the loss at Cameron Indoor.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: He beats Duke this year. The Hubert Davis era for
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Carolina is over. We're on to bigger and better things.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Hubert Davis for your time. Let's get our
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: next coach.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Do you feel responsible at all if indeed Hubert Davis
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: gets fired, because you will be a reason.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: So so I don't think I am a reason. If
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: you had to list out.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: The reasons, if you had to list out the reasons
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: these microphones have power, man, And I'm telling you, if you.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Had a list out the reasons, I'm probably somewhere in
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: the seventies, Hubert Davis's postgame press conferences are probably in
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: the top five, just all of them, or just the
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: last one, the last one specifically. But is he this
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: is this is a this is a every lost thing
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: with Hubert Davis where he refuses to take accountability.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Is he always sucking on some sort of candy or
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: some sort of because I don't know what was more
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: offensive about that last one. And I'm glad we don't
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: have the sound to play right here because it would
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: just drive me crazy. It's nails on a chalkboard. I
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: don't know what's more offensive his brief just idiotic answers.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Let's just say, okay, just like, how do how do
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: you even feel like you're gonna get away with these
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: answers in front of other people who speak the same
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: language as you. But the fact that he had a
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: a lozenge of some sort in his mouth the entire
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: time making annoying noises. I would fire him for that,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Like it's whatever the opposite of as M is, Like
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: people do that should go straight to jail.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, he needs to just get lose the job.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: It was just embarrassing.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: And again, if he gave a better press conference, I
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: think his job might still be there.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: But after that, I think it was a nail in
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: the coffin.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: So whatever that was, that was probably somewhere outside of
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: the top ten. The boosters not wanting to give him
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: money to fundraise for next season and field God's number one.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: The competitive team is probably.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Number one, Yeah, not probably, it's number one. Second Losi

  Speaker 1: In New York, Taylor put it on the pole.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Should tom Izzo automatically just go to the sweet sixteen?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: The need for him to play the first and second
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: round seems unnecessary.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: That team is always in the sweet sixteen. He has
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: had no trouble.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: He has had no trouble relating to college basketball here
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, he has adjusted just fine.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Tom Izzo. Every single year, that man is in the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: sweet sixteen?
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Is he?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: What'd you make of the flag football stuff over the weekend?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady is back. He looked good.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean he looks like a literally like a
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: new person. So nothing that he does surprises me physically.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: But did you know what this did? You guys know
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: what this event was?
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Did it just kind of creep up on you and
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden you see like Joe Burrow, you know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: making all these moves and stuff and you're like, hey,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: what was that or did you know this was coming?
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: I thought it was Olympic tryouts or something.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: No idea, Nike, I had no idea, but I do
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: have a conspiracy as to what it actually was.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, Taylor, So I didn't have any idea.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: And I can miss football as much as anybody in
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: the world. I will never miss it enough to watch this.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I was like I saw highlights and it was one
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: of those deals where it's just like, oh, that's cool whatever.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: And then like ten minutes later, I was like, wait
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: a second, this isn't the Pro Bowl season, Like what
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: is happening here?
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Why is Joe Burrow playing so hard in flag football?
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: And then I finally looked it up and I was like, oh,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: this is a crazy event. Like, first of all, just
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: what it's called. It's just a huge oxymoron. Is an
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: inaugural fanatics flam flag football classic? How could it be
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: the inaugural and the classic? It doesn't really be a
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: classic if it's the first one.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Put it on a pole tailor could it be a
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: classic if it's the first time you're playing the damn game?
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Just the first of its kind event and it's like
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Olympic style flag football rules whatever. There was three teams,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: two of them made up of current so a former
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: NFL players and celebs, and then one of them was
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Team USA Flag Football and spoiler alert, Team USA flag
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Football dominated because you know they play flag football. It's
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: a totally different game than some of the ones that
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: these guys are playing. But Wheelhouse, Stu, did you see
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: how hard Joe Burrow was playing?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: He made cuts that if you would have set after
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: the game, Oh, Joe Burrow tore his ACL, you would
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: have pointed exactly to which play he tore his ACL.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: And it's like, why are they playing like this so hard?
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: And I know he's not playing anymore.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: But Rob Gronkowski, for example, pulled a hamstring after scoring
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: a touchdown. Okay, so it's like why. My mind just
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I was like, why are they playing this hard? What
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: is this event? And obviously the first thing that came
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: to mind is they must be getting paid so much money?
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: And then I realized that this actually was an event
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: that was supposed to be played in Saudi Arabia, but
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: they changed it and moved it to LA because of
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: obviously ongoing international war concerns, and I'm like, there had
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: to have been like live style, like seventy five million
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: to one hundred million dollars type of payment for Joe
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Burrow to be playing like that, for Jalen Hurts to
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: be playing at all. This is absolutely what the case was.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: And I was just like, man, that's the NFL. Just
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: who got super lucky that nobody got hurt in that
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: play in that game, because I don't think that could
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: happen again. And that's what the other thing that I
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: thought of is just like the reason it kind of
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: snuck up on people is because if the NFL really
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: knew that Joe Burrow was going to be doing that,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: they'd be like, please don't, please don't. And so I
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: don't know. It was all very confusing to me.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you could stop him though, Like
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not certain even if the NFL wanted to stop
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: prevent him from doing it, because you're right, like, someone's
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: gonna get hurt playing a meaningless flag football game, although it's.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: A classic, and that's why Joe Burrow was playing so hard.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, when the classic comes around, you take that
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: thing very very seriously. Everyone knows that I mean, duh,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: he pulled a hammy because he was taking it serious.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Its a classic, that's what you do. You take classics
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: very seriously.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: But someone is going to get a tournament classic now.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: But you're right, someone's gonna get hurt and the NFL
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: is gonna be upset and they're gonna pull the plug.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: What you're saying here is Michael Rubin and Fanatics is
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: an NFL sponsor.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, partner, I should say.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: But Michael Rubin paid these guys a lot of money
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: to play in a meaningless flag football game, and I
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: understand why fans would be upset with it. They're not
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: because no one got seriously injured. But if God forbid,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Joe Burrow did get hurt in that game is one
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: hundred percent correct, the conversation we'd be having today would
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: not be about it's funny, because this is like a
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: second or third fourth topic today when you're doing a
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: sports radio show, because everyone's going to talk about March.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: But if Joe Burrow got hurt, every show in America
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: would be leading with why are we playing a meaningless
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: flag football game?
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: If Burrow got hurt, half of Cincinnati would turn into
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: the greatest investigative reporters of all time, trying to figure
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: out who's responsible for this and how much money he
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: actually got paid to see if it was worth it,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: one hundred percent of the people of Cincinnati would be
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: in an uproar if they're not already.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, So you had that takeaway from the game, and
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I had to take away that Tom Brady could still
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: sling it.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I'll take them on my flag football team any day.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I'll take them on my NFL team any day.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: He looked like the best of the NFL or former
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: NFL quarterbacks still out there.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: He looked like he was better than Jalen Hurts.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Well, the TV USA flag football team looked like they
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: dominated Jalen Hurts, like they were just a very And
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: I think you know, in terms of the NFL, their
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: best chance to compete was not with the Joe Burrows
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: of the world, right or the Jalen Hurtzes of the world.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: It's smaller, quicker, faster players. But yeah, that Team USA
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: went out there to show something.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: That's exactly what I'm thinking that this event was blatantly
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: to show the NFL players.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Aren't going to play in the Olympics. We don't need them.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: This was This was the Russians beating the NHL All
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: Stars before the miracle on ice team. This was them saying,
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: stop stop creating your NFL super teams that are gonna
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: go play in the Olympics, because it's not going to happen.
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: The regular flag the team USA flag football team outscored
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: everybody else one oh six to forty four.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like that.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Was that was They just paid Joe Burrow probably one
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: hundred million dollars to put his career at risk.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Ye kind of worth it, though, I mean, I mean
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars or flag. If you're gonna go down,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: go down to that game, like get up going down
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: for the bet, right, it's more important.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: If we see him like sharing a drink with John
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Rahm anytime soon, we'll.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Know he got that.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: He got that up to nine figures.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Mikey Is is derell to set the flag football quarterback
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: better at his sport than Patrick Mahomes is at his sport.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Oh no, stop it, wow, I.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: Can't no, but sure gonna need some more evidence.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Are you saying, are you saying just set such a
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: good flag football quarterback?
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: There is not an NFL quarterback who could take his spot?
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Is that what we're I think they kind of proved it.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: I saw, I saw Jalen Hurts throwing pick six is
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: left and right.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I understand that. But if Jalen Hurts wants to set
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: his job, he's gonna get it. Is he not? No?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: No, because of who he is, not because of what exactly, Yes,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: solely based on who he is, that's is he?
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: No? I think?
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: So, you know how the NFL figured out that somebody
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: like Lamar Jackson can play quarterback by playing Lamar Jackson
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: at quarterback?
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: The last football quarterbacks.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Have been Lamar Jackson ish for a long time, and
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: so that's why they they're It's just a little bit
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: different than an NFL quarterback.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: So my biggest takeaway watching those games, flag football almost
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: looks like a completely different sports than football. The guys
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: out there avoiding tackles. They're basically like crab walking.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, so yeah, it's funny that, by the way, joining
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: my flag football league. We start this Saturday. I got
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: a lot of news to break to him. I don't
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: know how happy he's gonna be about.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: This, Jesus, but uh yeah, just finding out about this
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, he knows, he knows he's in the league.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: What he doesn't know is that it's gonna be iron
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Man type of shit.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: He's gonna have to play a lot. This is payback
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: for softball. But don't worry. They don't allow the dip
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: in our league.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: And they actually don't allow jump cuts either because they
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: say it's player safety.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: So it's a little easier to pull flags in our league.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: You need jump cuts, is he? I mean, you know what,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: They look so good right.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know why they don't allow jump cuts in
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: our league.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: It's stupid. It drives me up a wall. It doesn't
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: feel like a real league to be. They gotta keep
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: one foot on the ground for some reason.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: You take the jump cuts out of flag football? Is
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: a really flag football? I mean yeah, right, question.
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: Flag football game in a softball game at the same time.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Which one are we going to?
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Know where?
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I know where is He's going, and know where Taylor
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: is going to He's going the center field.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Yes,
