1:54
Speaker 1: one of the blockbuster stories like we've had, I mean,
1:57
Speaker 1: NFL free agency seems like it was six months ago.
2:00
Speaker 3: M hm, very true.
2:03
Speaker 1: We got the World Baseball Classic Championship game tonight US
2:06
Speaker 1: against Venezuela, and following that, Brewers and spring training getting
2:09
Speaker 1: ever closer to that to opening day, Bucks playing out
2:13
Speaker 1: the string, Badger's gearing up for a great matchup against
2:16
Speaker 1: High Point in Portland. All the stuff that's happening, and
2:19
Speaker 1: then one of the stories today, national story with a
2:21
Speaker 1: local angle, and for us, anytime you can think your
2:24
Speaker 1: teeth into one of those, go for it. We swing
2:27
Speaker 1: it to Tuscaloosa, Alabama Roll Tide, where Watertown native Nate
2:34
Speaker 1: Oates Oh, he of the most successful tournament coach in
2:38
Speaker 1: Alabama Crimson Tide history, a Final four participant couple of
2:42
Speaker 1: years ago.
2:44
Speaker 3: Exciting team too, always fun, they.
2:46
Speaker 1: Always He and his club are up against it right
2:52
Speaker 1: now this week because their point guard got caught with
2:55
Speaker 1: a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and a lot of cash.
2:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and the the intenses is never a never
3:01
Speaker 5: a good tag to throw on that. And listen to
3:04
Speaker 5: the boys that ended up operating that sting. There's a
3:07
Speaker 5: moment in time I would assume we're all of a sudden,
3:09
Speaker 5: they're like, wait a second, in that state Monday of
3:12
Speaker 5: the NCAA tournament. Yeah, come on now, our scheming this
3:15
Speaker 5: bad boy. We know exactly where we're going and when
3:17
Speaker 5: we're gonna close this thing.
3:18
Speaker 1: The point guard is Aidena, Come on, Aiden, and boy,
3:22
Speaker 1: that's imagine if you go in the tournament without Nick Boyd.
3:25
Speaker 6: Not a great time to catch the case. I do
3:27
Speaker 6: wonder a little bit down there. I'm just gonna say it,
3:31
Speaker 6: this is basketball, not football. What if it had been
3:33
Speaker 6: on the football team, what would the situation be.
3:36
Speaker 3: You know, well, I would say, your logic is not flawed.
3:41
Speaker 3: Its not the same energy.
3:42
Speaker 5: Depends on it depends on if Captain Nick was maybe
3:45
Speaker 5: still in the still in charge of right, maybe he
3:47
Speaker 5: would have had a conversation with a police scanner.
3:50
Speaker 3: But we don't do this.
3:51
Speaker 1: It was just a couple of years ago that they
3:52
Speaker 1: won thirty one games, oh yeah, the conference championship in
3:56
Speaker 1: like the regular season and tournament, and uh, Brandon Miller
4:00
Speaker 1: and Miller got implicated in a connection to the shooting
4:04
Speaker 1: death of James Harris off the Tuscalooses Strip, where it
4:07
Speaker 1: was alleged that Miller handed the gun to former teammate
4:09
Speaker 1: Darius Miles. Oates described Miller as being in the wrong
4:14
Speaker 1: spot at the wrong time. He took plays the heat
4:15
Speaker 1: for that.
4:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, wrong.
4:17
Speaker 1: Clay Miller was ultimately not charged, but they went on
4:19
Speaker 1: and they lost in the Sweet sixteen that year, So
4:22
Speaker 1: that was a bit of a distraction.
4:23
Speaker 3: So they've been down this street before.
4:25
Speaker 5: And now and now Brandon miller Is is starring in the
4:27
Speaker 5: NBA and no one, no one remembers it. It's pretty quickly,
4:30
Speaker 5: how how things can change. But yeah, you're you're, you're
4:32
Speaker 5: spot on, Drew. That's second time in three years that
4:35
Speaker 5: that follows you, and we talk about it, and Matt
4:39
Speaker 5: Lapey has made a good joke about it, and it's
4:41
Speaker 5: the Tailor's old as time, and it's so damn true.
4:43
Speaker 5: You can be guilty of just about anything. Just don't lose,
4:46
Speaker 5: I mean, just don't lose. And what are they a.
4:49
Speaker 3: Five seed coming up this weekend in Alabama? Or four
4:52
Speaker 3: or five?
4:53
Speaker 5: They're a four or five if they fall in an upset, ooh,
4:55
Speaker 5: it's going there's gonna be a lot of conversations.
4:57
Speaker 3: It's gonna get.
4:57
Speaker 5: It's gonna get a lot louder than it was when
4:59
Speaker 5: they or the number one one of the teams going
5:02
Speaker 5: to the final four and almost feeling like a one
5:04
Speaker 5: seed lock throughout the year. So it's I I was
5:10
Speaker 5: reading the story yesterday and one it felt like it
5:13
Speaker 5: was straight out of D Three's Finess, the old straight
5:16
Speaker 5: to DVD movie where all of a sudden they before
5:19
Speaker 5: the biggest tournament, something happens here, which is one thousand
5:22
Speaker 5: percent avoidable, right, the one thousand percent avoidable issue. As
5:27
Speaker 5: long as we're just not finding the scale in the house,
5:30
Speaker 5: it's easy. Oh, quickly that can change.
5:31
Speaker 1: They were a four seed, or they are a four
5:33
Speaker 1: seed and they're playing Hofstra and they will be without
5:36
Speaker 1: their point guard who scored like eighteen points in their
5:39
Speaker 1: last game in the SEC tournament Nato.
5:42
Speaker 3: It's great story. Great guy you interviewed with the final four.
5:44
Speaker 3: We did. We he was involved in the one you
5:47
Speaker 3: were at.
5:47
Speaker 5: I think I think it was when we were when
5:49
Speaker 5: he was involved, Yes, and uh and and he was
5:52
Speaker 5: kind of he was not making a whole lot of interviews,
5:54
Speaker 5: but I think we talked to him on the side
5:56
Speaker 5: as we've had a conversation or two.
5:57
Speaker 3: I think I was. I was there when he Yeah,
5:59
Speaker 3: he was at Alabama, I remember. But here was a guy.
6:02
Speaker 3: What a story Watertown's own.
6:04
Speaker 1: Is there an Atha Baptist high school star or an
6:06
Speaker 1: Atha Baptist college star? Uh huh, got on the coaching
6:09
Speaker 1: staff there, went to high school in Detroit and coached
6:12
Speaker 1: outside of Detroit for like ten or eleven years, got
6:15
Speaker 1: discovered I think by Bobby Hurley who was recruiting one
6:18
Speaker 1: of his players like the cut of his gym, got
6:20
Speaker 1: the job at Buffalo, put him on the staff, took
6:22
Speaker 1: over into the coach of Buffalo, and then moved on
6:25
Speaker 1: to Alabama and now he's one of the giants in
6:28
Speaker 1: the end of.
6:28
Speaker 6: One of the amazing coaching tracks when you really look
6:30
Speaker 6: at it. Yeah, and there are always times when you
6:33
Speaker 6: think how one action or one moment in time can
6:36
Speaker 6: change the course of sports history. And like you said,
6:39
Speaker 6: you know him him being discovered and going to Buffalo
6:42
Speaker 6: with a guy that was un heralded at the time
6:44
Speaker 6: from Romulus High School, Michigan, and they become these big
6:47
Speaker 6: college coaches. It's amazing what that never happened. You always
6:50
Speaker 6: think about that. You always wonder what kind of talent
6:52
Speaker 6: is out there that's undiscovered.
6:53
Speaker 1: You know, he as did a couple of years with Whitewater.
6:55
Speaker 1: I think they won a national title D three when
6:57
Speaker 1: he was an assistants. Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, So yeah,
7:00
Speaker 1: it's a hell of a story. But yeah, he's had
7:02
Speaker 1: to deal with some adversity. Also, his wife, Crystal had
7:06
Speaker 1: foma and was undergoing stuff like that.
7:09
Speaker 3: That was ten years ago or so.
7:11
Speaker 1: I mean, that's he's had quite the he's he's battled
7:14
Speaker 1: quite the track.
7:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, quite the track. And I'm also a good guy,
7:17
Speaker 3: a great guy to interview, he's one of us. Totally
7:20
Speaker 3: forgot that.
7:20
Speaker 5: Uh, I didn't even realize that Marrinanatha Baptist Bible College
7:23
Speaker 5: is now Maranatha Baptist University out there in a lot
7:25
Speaker 5: they switched university.
7:27
Speaker 3: There, you go, How did I miss that?
7:29
Speaker 5: You?
7:29
Speaker 3: Carrol Piles switched from Carroll College to Carroll University.
7:32
Speaker 5: I want to say two thousand and eight or that
7:34
Speaker 5: was very very close to when, very very close to
7:37
Speaker 5: when I was there.
7:38
Speaker 6: That was a big moment, almost as big as moments
7:40
Speaker 6: when they got rid of the Bears Sea right.
7:42
Speaker 3: Isn't that a big big moment? Nat Oats.
7:45
Speaker 6: I mean, he's got almost like a seven hundred winning
7:47
Speaker 6: percentage in Division I college coaching, so there's no question
7:51
Speaker 6: about that, you know. But he's he's having to deal
7:54
Speaker 6: with this situation now and definitely not what they had
7:58
Speaker 6: planned on. And I'm sure there was enough people that
8:00
Speaker 6: thinking about one thing and one thing only. I already
8:02
Speaker 6: filled up my bracket now can I go refill out
8:05
Speaker 6: my bracket and just screwed up my bracket with the
8:07
Speaker 6: Alabama So it.
8:09
Speaker 3: Should be interesting to see.
8:10
Speaker 6: But you never know sometimes how teammates and teams can
8:13
Speaker 6: rise up in these situations and overcome the laws when
8:15
Speaker 6: you think something should.
8:16
Speaker 5: Happen, right, I mean, they could just blaze Howstra and
8:19
Speaker 5: wipe the floor and burn Texas Tech. You have no clue,
8:23
Speaker 5: But there's there's something to the last moment before or
8:27
Speaker 5: the week of the tournament. There's always going to be
8:30
Speaker 5: one big time story. And you just pray to God
8:33
Speaker 5: it's not gonna be you. You just pray it's not you, Andrew.
8:37
Speaker 5: Isn't this exactly what we joke about in the layoff
8:40
Speaker 5: right after OTA's and mini camp in the NFL. So
8:44
Speaker 5: once you get to training camp or that like week
8:48
Speaker 5: a week off after training camp before you come back
8:51
Speaker 5: for the start of the year, right, you get that
8:53
Speaker 5: four days.
8:53
Speaker 3: Hey man, just don't end up on the Blotterer.
8:55
Speaker 1: That's the Kenny Loggins song, the danger Zone. Yes, yes,
9:01
Speaker 1: right into the danger zone. Don't get in trouble during
9:04
Speaker 1: this week. That was and that was the inspiration You're
9:07
Speaker 1: part of the podcast was when Rogers said, carry the G.
9:10
Speaker 1: Make sure you know you carry the G you leave
9:13
Speaker 1: the building. I remember when he said that, and my
9:15
Speaker 1: instant thought was, Oh, Nagla's going to make that a T.
9:18
Speaker 3: Shirt, that a two shirt, Carry the G.
9:21
Speaker 1: And he made it a beer brand and a podcast
9:23
Speaker 1: and you know, never let this opportunity slip by.
9:26
Speaker 5: Full on capitalize and capitalism in that one. That's a
9:29
Speaker 5: perfect spot to be in.
9:30
Speaker 3: That was one of the great things Aaron ever. I
9:31
Speaker 3: love that.
9:32
Speaker 6: That was one of the great things you ever said.
9:33
Speaker 6: That was one of the great mid Bars moment. You know,
9:36
Speaker 6: I don't know the right where it is, but that
9:37
Speaker 6: you know things to say and like and standards to
9:41
Speaker 6: live by, just set by and uh. And it's going
9:44
Speaker 6: to sustain now more than like G Force, it will
9:47
Speaker 6: carry the G will sustain.
9:48
Speaker 3: You would say that, but you miss it.
9:50
Speaker 5: I mean Drew and I when we're pulling up and
9:52
Speaker 5: our friends that are listening to us in the Fox
9:55
Speaker 5: Valley here, man, they fire up G Force up in
9:58
Speaker 5: Green Bay all Onday morning. Maybe it's right right before
10:02
Speaker 5: the broadcast fires up and you and Dennis come in
10:05
Speaker 5: with that super sweet intro and also now Drew fires up.
10:08
Speaker 3: Uh.
10:08
Speaker 5: And you'd hear g falls let until you go hostel
10:13
Speaker 5: the falls.
10:15
Speaker 3: Maybe it's time to bring that back.
10:16
Speaker 6: Then.
10:16
Speaker 5: We actually just need to make it a legitimate and
10:18
Speaker 5: good song for it to be too like that powerful right.
10:22
Speaker 1: Eight seven, seven, seven, nine four one ninety seven three.
10:24
Speaker 1: Buying and selling Today, we're buying and selling, and uh,
10:30
Speaker 1: let's fire it up.
10:31
Speaker 3: Let's fire it up. You got anything that you'd like
10:32
Speaker 3: to the proposition.
10:34
Speaker 5: The first off, I'm buying Maynatha Baptist Bible College, pardon me,
10:38
Speaker 5: Marinathasidas University. Uh, with not only Nate Oates being a
10:42
Speaker 5: Division one college coach, a former Indiana had football coach
10:47
Speaker 5: Tom Allen also in the noted alum. Now, I'm just
10:49
Speaker 5: surprised that, uh, Matthew mciverern isn't in this uh and
10:52
Speaker 5: Mike mcgibvern and his dad is going to join us
10:54
Speaker 5: coming up tomorrow. That's the only reason why I knew
10:56
Speaker 5: about Marinatha Baptist Bible College. I'm excited that there's more
10:59
Speaker 5: basketball players coming out of that spot. But I'm guys,
11:02
Speaker 5: I gotta sell on one thing that I saw throughout
11:04
Speaker 5: the day yesterday, and people are continuing to flush it
11:07
Speaker 5: out here. I'm kind of selling on this new Bill stadium.
11:11
Speaker 5: Have you guys seen the videos and everybody enjoying every
11:13
Speaker 5: single mock up and now we got all the three
11:16
Speaker 5: hundred and sixty degree views and it looks like it
11:20
Speaker 5: looks like a football stadium.
11:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, high for the drone shot, I couldn't decide is
11:24
Speaker 6: this a regular stadium or not.
11:25
Speaker 3: It looks like a very regular stadium, which is fine.
11:28
Speaker 5: I'm down with it, Yeah, but let's not act like
11:31
Speaker 5: it's some kind of marvel to.
11:35
Speaker 3: Modern technology.
11:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry, I don't know that architecture
11:39
Speaker 5: is going to go to a groundbreaking level with this thing.
11:42
Speaker 5: It looks very similar to Global Life Field or State
11:46
Speaker 5: Farm Arena or State Farm down in Arizona, kind of
11:49
Speaker 5: like a costco. I mean, like all gray on the outside.
11:53
Speaker 5: I can't not see Amazon distribution center.
11:57
Speaker 3: I mean, I hear you.
11:57
Speaker 6: And that was and then to me, the other part
11:59
Speaker 6: of that is that that's fine because it's the bills.
12:01
Speaker 6: I didn't think they should have some sort of art,
12:04
Speaker 6: you know, deck, you know art, see like technologically unique,
12:08
Speaker 6: like we're gonna try and use solar power. No, this
12:10
Speaker 6: is the Buffalo Bills it's buffalo. It's got to be
12:13
Speaker 6: made with steel, and it's got to be hardy, and
12:15
Speaker 6: it's got to be able to withstand the pressure of
12:17
Speaker 6: you know, Bill's mafia, plus the weather, all those things,
12:21
Speaker 6: except for like a newer, updated version. So I was
12:24
Speaker 6: okay with that, But you're right, Billy, I'm gonna sell
12:26
Speaker 6: the fact that it was some sort of crazy, unique,
12:28
Speaker 6: amazing everyone's like look at other than the fact that
12:31
Speaker 6: huge stadiums look cool when they're empty.
12:33
Speaker 3: That looks like Tottenham Hotspur. Yeah, I've heard that it's
12:36
Speaker 3: a little more rounded, I guess. Yeah.
12:40
Speaker 5: The inside of these bowls though pause speaking of the
12:43
Speaker 5: name one, but like, the inside of all the seating
12:46
Speaker 5: bowls all looked very much the exact same. Now, don't
12:49
Speaker 5: they like? It kind of looks copy and paste from everything.
12:52
Speaker 5: They calibrated down and only made it sixty thousand seats. Yeah, now,
12:56
Speaker 5: I'm kind of surprise demand there, But buy er cell
12:59
Speaker 5: on that.
13:00
Speaker 6: You know, once a while, that's the thought was, maybe
13:02
Speaker 6: it was intuitive thought, well, you sell more tickets then
13:06
Speaker 6: with more seats.
13:06
Speaker 1: But for for two billion dollars, if you're building in
13:09
Speaker 1: a cold weather area, how can you not think about
13:12
Speaker 1: the retractable or some kind of roof, because.
13:14
Speaker 3: Then you can use it year round.
13:16
Speaker 1: Well, and it's becoming like, yeah, if they're going to
13:19
Speaker 1: retrofit American Family Field with HVAC and heating so that
13:22
Speaker 1: they can have more cold weather events, Like they didn't
13:25
Speaker 1: do that initially, right, they did not, But now that
13:28
Speaker 1: they're they're realizing, oh, we can make more money if
13:30
Speaker 1: we can use this building more dates.
13:33
Speaker 3: Isn't it the same in Buffalo?
13:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it seemed there was a big culture fight
13:37
Speaker 5: on that one. You big fight between the Buffalonians, right
13:40
Speaker 5: is that it? Yeah, and wanting to have that thing
13:43
Speaker 5: closed up, and then they just like oddly met in
13:47
Speaker 5: the middle where like they covered like thirty percent of
13:50
Speaker 5: the seats. This looks even stranger Drew like if they
13:52
Speaker 5: would have had the retractable roof, I totally could understood it. Now,
13:56
Speaker 5: the retro fitting it for all events, I appreciate. That's
13:59
Speaker 5: the statement, the one where everyone's like, well, now, sweet
14:03
Speaker 5: retractable roof, We're gonna get a Super Bowl. They're you know,
14:06
Speaker 5: they're not going to kidding, They're not going to Orchard Park,
14:09
Speaker 5: And like I got Ben.
14:10
Speaker 3: Ronald will get a Super Bowl before Buffalo a.
14:12
Speaker 5: Thousand percent, and I got bad news for the folks
14:14
Speaker 5: in Kansas City, Kansas.
14:15
Speaker 3: I don't think the Super Bowls going there.
14:17
Speaker 5: Like the thought is that you just get blessed with
14:19
Speaker 5: it because you have the Dome stadium.
14:21
Speaker 3: That's not necessarily true.
14:22
Speaker 1: Since it's a buyer sell day, and since we've already
14:25
Speaker 1: driven down this we've we've put our blinker on and
14:27
Speaker 1: we've made a safe turn onto this street. You're buying
14:30
Speaker 1: your selling that within five years, lambeau Field will have
14:33
Speaker 1: a title sponsor. Five years, I think it's the perfect
14:38
Speaker 1: time per quick trip stadium, lambeou Field, that quick trip.
14:40
Speaker 3: St something like that. It'll be like, yeah, the basketball
14:44
Speaker 3: court like the you know field of Mile Hyle or
14:47
Speaker 3: something like that. Yeah, and and Alvarez Field at Camp Randles.
14:50
Speaker 5: I think within the within the five years is probably
14:53
Speaker 5: a fair statement. And I think within the next two
14:56
Speaker 5: you probably see that Don Hudson Center have a name.
14:58
Speaker 5: Like you start you start seeing different parts of it.
15:02
Speaker 5: But ultimately Lambo's gonna have to have some kind of
15:05
Speaker 5: backing around it to get in some more cash. And
15:07
Speaker 5: I saw a couple of retorts to our conversation a
15:09
Speaker 5: little bit yesterday when Hunter put the video out that
15:12
Speaker 5: it's like, well, now, actually the one percent for Stephen
15:16
Speaker 5: Ross was all of his sports properties.
15:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, sure.
15:19
Speaker 5: The headliner is the Miami Dolphins that play in the
15:21
Speaker 5: NFL and a twelve point five billion dollar valuation for
15:25
Speaker 5: a team that has not won a Super Bowl and
15:26
Speaker 5: one fifty years. Yeah, Miami hasn't won at the seventh,
15:32
Speaker 5: then let's go and talk about where the valuations are
15:35
Speaker 5: after the sale of the Seahawks gets completed, because they.
15:37
Speaker 3: Just won it.
15:38
Speaker 5: They got a superstar coach and somebody that everybody thinks
15:43
Speaker 5: is the greatest right now since slice bread, John Schneider,
15:46
Speaker 5: a historic GM run, and they're with a great stadium
15:51
Speaker 5: in a huge market. That team is going to go
15:54
Speaker 5: for about twelve billion dollars and for teams and organizations
15:57
Speaker 5: to be able to peel off cash, I don't know
16:00
Speaker 5: how many more stock sales they're gonna end up doing
16:02
Speaker 5: so as long as unless you want to buy another
16:05
Speaker 5: thing of stock, that's their only way of getting a
16:07
Speaker 5: little bit of sliver into the cash.
16:09
Speaker 3: And now other teams have seen it.
16:12
Speaker 5: I remember Jerry Jones the last time the packers put
16:14
Speaker 5: the stock sale up, saying.
16:15
Speaker 3: I just I sure wish I could do this. Well
16:17
Speaker 3: you could.
16:17
Speaker 5: You can do exactly what teams are not doing and
16:20
Speaker 5: sell off a one percent share, two percent share, grab
16:23
Speaker 5: um doing one hundred million dollars two hundred million dollars.
16:25
Speaker 6: And then you can supplement it that. I buy that
16:27
Speaker 6: it's an important issue. I mean, I think a lot
16:29
Speaker 6: of people are kind of pooying it, like, come on,
16:30
Speaker 6: we're the packers, we make money, there's a salary camp,
16:33
Speaker 6: there's revenue sharing.
16:34
Speaker 3: This is not a problem.
16:35
Speaker 6: I think it is a problem in terms of you
16:37
Speaker 6: have to find ways to garner revenue to increase liquid money.
16:42
Speaker 6: I'm gonna sell five years because I think because of
16:44
Speaker 6: the fight and the pushback, we'll do everything around it. First,
16:48
Speaker 6: we'll sell every other piece of Yeah, the don huts
16:50
Speaker 6: into everything is something, well they do that, they got
16:54
Speaker 6: that maybe tele don dirict.
16:56
Speaker 3: They'll sell everything first.
16:58
Speaker 6: And then maybe one day you know, it will be
17:01
Speaker 6: you know, Quick Trip Field at lambeau Field or Quick
17:04
Speaker 6: Trip Stadium in Lambolefield, Lambofield.
17:07
Speaker 3: It'll be the last thing.
17:08
Speaker 6: So that's why I'll push back and sell on five
17:10
Speaker 6: all right, but maybe going to happen.
17:12
Speaker 1: I'm stunned, and I've said this before, I'm stunned that
17:16
Speaker 1: we aren't in more of a NASCAR era in all
17:18
Speaker 1: of our professional sports. Like I'm president, our patches everywhere
17:22
Speaker 1: they've they've actually kind of limited themselves. The Bucks are
17:25
Speaker 1: looking for a new patch partner.
17:28
Speaker 3: Getting out of the Motorola business. Motorola.
17:30
Speaker 1: Motorola's deal is coming up, and they could extend, I guess,
17:34
Speaker 1: but they're you know, the Dodgers just cut a deal
17:36
Speaker 1: with unic Low, the European clothing manufacturers. They're gonna get
17:41
Speaker 1: like gazillions of dollars from them. So the Buck's going
17:44
Speaker 1: to need a new patch monster. They've had media, the huddle,
17:50
Speaker 1: they had, they had Harley for a while and that
17:53
Speaker 1: was good, and then Harley's had to pull back because
17:54
Speaker 1: they're feeling the pinch.
17:55
Speaker 3: That's my question market.
17:57
Speaker 6: How many places are going to have enough money to
18:00
Speaker 6: want to see the value in doing this.
18:01
Speaker 3: You know, that's the other fact.
18:02
Speaker 1: Barrett is a local company, but they put their name
18:04
Speaker 1: on the convention center for ten million a year or
18:06
Speaker 1: whatever that's there, and that's kind of what you're looking
18:09
Speaker 1: for for the Bucks Jersey patch. So those kind of things.
18:12
Speaker 1: I'm just surprised that we aren't. It's not more prevalent.
18:15
Speaker 1: Like every baseball team has a batting helmet sponsor and
18:17
Speaker 1: a jersey patch sponsor and their pats on your legs,
18:20
Speaker 1: and you.
18:21
Speaker 5: Know, well in the in the batting helmet when they
18:23
Speaker 5: first put the league wide playoff one whatever it is,
18:27
Speaker 5: strass or stross or whatever it is, that was the gatewayre.
18:30
Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't know how every team doesn't have
18:32
Speaker 5: at least one, no doubt, all year long. And Frankly, Drew,
18:36
Speaker 5: I think one of the other ones, and probably the
18:38
Speaker 5: most primaryal estate, would be, how on earth are catchers
18:41
Speaker 5: not selling it?
18:42
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean with how no with the chess protector?
18:47
Speaker 3: Are you kid? Mean, It's the number one thing that.
18:49
Speaker 5: You see on team, every screen, every single pitch. I say,
18:52
Speaker 5: if I'm William Contreras, I'm rolling up the quick trip
18:55
Speaker 5: and say see you next time, right on the chess protector.
18:59
Speaker 3: If he has that right, does MMB allow that? I mean,
19:02
Speaker 3: is it up to him?
19:02
Speaker 1: I would joke with a buddy mine, Guido Mark, the
19:05
Speaker 1: doorman who's a famous fan.
19:07
Speaker 3: Who sits by the visiting dugout. Yeah, he's the best.
19:09
Speaker 3: He's a good good friend. I'll probably see him opening day.
19:12
Speaker 3: He h.
19:12
Speaker 1: He lives in Arizona but maintains his Brewers tickets and
19:15
Speaker 1: comes back with his lovely wife Stephanie.
19:17
Speaker 3: Uh.
19:18
Speaker 1: He was on He was one of those deals like
19:19
Speaker 1: you know, in the park open and stuff, you're you're
19:22
Speaker 1: in every shut you should be wearing a different jacket
19:24
Speaker 1: and getting paid placement. Marlins Man's done that, bab Sure, yeah,
19:28
Speaker 1: I mean just do the product placement thing and you
19:30
Speaker 1: should be selling your you know this this space for rent.
19:33
Speaker 1: Well and I'm going to stop you from making cash
19:35
Speaker 1: to wear, you know, a high life jacket during a broadcast.
19:39
Speaker 3: Not at all, and it would make it would make
19:40
Speaker 3: a ton of money. You would assume.
19:42
Speaker 5: There was one video that I saw yesterday, uh where
19:45
Speaker 5: Buddy was in Miami first three or four rows and
19:51
Speaker 5: owner of a club in Miami.
19:53
Speaker 3: Well he was going.
19:55
Speaker 5: He was at the USA and the game that they
19:57
Speaker 5: just played pardon me, uh that they just played on
20:02
Speaker 5: no for.
20:04
Speaker 3: Public. Yeah, so he's at the USA.
20:05
Speaker 5: Dominican game just calling over beer vendors, calling over beer vendors,
20:11
Speaker 5: buying the whole tub and then just throwing them out
20:15
Speaker 5: throughout and on this on the beer, but a little
20:18
Speaker 5: sticker on there. Hey, we'll see at this club, We'll
20:21
Speaker 5: see over here, We'll see over here. That's gorilla that's
20:24

20:32
Speaker 5: I'll throw I'll throw the US a nice shirt on.
20:34
Speaker 5: You'll love me for that. But make sure you checked
20:36
Speaker 5: that QR code out of the free brew that I'm
20:38
Speaker 5: throwing out here.
20:39
Speaker 6: In theory, yeah, there's no level that you have to
20:41
Speaker 6: stop to do this. I mean, it can be a slippery,
20:43
Speaker 6: infinite level of marketing in this sense. But but you
20:46
Speaker 6: have to find something that's willing to give up the
20:48
Speaker 6: money and say, okay, I'm getting an r OI based
20:50
Speaker 6: on this. It's not like companies trying to throw money
20:53
Speaker 6: at every I don't know. I mean, you have to
20:55
Speaker 6: sell it still, and it's not as easy as people think.
20:57
Speaker 6: But I never thought of the chess protector one. I'll
21:00
Speaker 6: admit that that's a good point.
21:01

Speaker 5: David Baktieri's got his Twitter fingers on. He does, He's
21:59
Speaker 5: back on Twitter mm hmm board or something. He Dad
22:04
Speaker 5: took some offense when.
22:05
Speaker 1: The Packers said thank you on the way out to
22:07
Speaker 1: Nate Hobbs, thank you Nate Hobbs after Nate Hobbs went
22:11
Speaker 1: and signed with forty nine ers or yes, yeah, I
22:13
Speaker 1: think packers like thank you Nate Hobbs. And David baci
22:17
Speaker 1: is like tweeting and like fore question, question mark, question
22:21
Speaker 1: mark question.
22:21
Speaker 6: David's definitely like a little board. Yeah, he's got to
22:24
Speaker 6: be on Twitter a lot, so I feel.
22:26
Speaker 1: He got some blowback from people being like, like, I
22:28
Speaker 1: tried to play through knee injuries.
22:29
Speaker 3: You of all people should know what that's like.
22:32
Speaker 1: And then he's like you And then someone said the
22:35
Speaker 1: wise you know, cracks started to permeate. They're like, okay,
22:39
Speaker 1: so thanks to Nate Hobbs for freeing up cap space.
22:45
Speaker 1: It's not the one put some dead money on that too.
22:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, I had to get it, get it out of there,
22:49
Speaker 5: and and frankly for just being uh being.
22:52
Speaker 3: Out of uh and then maybe.
22:54
Speaker 5: Matt Lafloor's heron Mattlafloor not having to tell him to
22:57
Speaker 5: calm down.
22:57
Speaker 1: Then someone told, you know, back like, well, yeah, thanks Tony.
23:00
Speaker 1: He played eleven games through knee injuries, which is more
23:02
Speaker 1: than Bactieri played in his last three seasons with the Packers.
23:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, people didn't like that. They were gonna come back
23:09
Speaker 3: on him when they.
23:10
Speaker 6: Thought even Nab was a little house like yeah, like,
23:13
Speaker 6: no level of fan favorite was Nate Hobbs, But this
23:16
Speaker 6: idea that David baktierid be taking any kind of shot
23:18
Speaker 6: at the Packers.
23:19
Speaker 1: How about Bactieri being social media police because he's the
23:21
Speaker 1: one who shamed the social media partly in the first place.
23:23
Speaker 1: And then when they step up their game, as everybody
23:26
Speaker 1: thinks they have, then they do something like that, what
23:28
Speaker 1: is that Midwest nice?
23:29
Speaker 3: Lots of teams do that.
23:30
Speaker 1: You wish guys, you wish like practice squad Guy's happy birthday,
23:34
Speaker 1: Like it's it's social media shovel coal into the furnace.
23:37
Speaker 3: You need posts, right, he need to make sure we
23:39
Speaker 3: have every post is a home run.
23:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, so and he and he didn't really go out
23:44
Speaker 6: and he really go back and say, hey, they've been
23:46
Speaker 6: doing a better job, or he did and he gave
23:47
Speaker 6: himself credit.
23:48
Speaker 3: I think he's been kind of doing this.
23:50
Speaker 6: For a while, kind of throwing spitballs from the back
23:52
Speaker 6: of the class. I'm not I'm not one that loves it.
23:54
Speaker 6: I don't It might it's kind of funny. It might
23:56
Speaker 6: not be that serious. Yeah, you were very upset about that.
23:59
Speaker 6: And I still think it's kind of like, if you
24:01
Speaker 6: think it's so bad the way they put social media
24:04
Speaker 6: posts up, maybe you should do the job and see
24:05
Speaker 6: if you're do better at it.
24:06
Speaker 3: I'm not really sure, but I don't know. I don't.
24:08
Speaker 6: I don't think it's Listen, if you had nothing else
24:10
Speaker 6: to do, Dave, and you're sitting there now in retirement
24:13
Speaker 6: with your money, sitting there and saying, I'm gonna go
24:15
Speaker 6: rip on the social media post and just have to
24:17
Speaker 6: have some fun on Twitter.
24:18
Speaker 3: That's fine, it's cool. But I side, I sided, I
24:22
Speaker 3: had a little bit. I think it's a little It's
24:24
Speaker 3: not the worst transgression in the world.
24:26
Speaker 6: I still love you. You're a great all time Packer.
24:29
Speaker 6: You were a great player. Nothing would ever take away
24:31
Speaker 6: from that. I'm not one of these guys that's gonna
24:32
Speaker 6: sit there and say, yeah, well you didn't play when
24:34
Speaker 6: you were injured. He had an acl tare I don't
24:36
Speaker 6: think he wanted to have that, by the way, I'm
24:38
Speaker 6: sure he played through a lot of pain in his career,
24:41
Speaker 6: but it does seem a little bit of childish.
24:43
Speaker 5: You have to go out and do this and say this.
24:45
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's a really big deal out of nothing.
24:49
Speaker 5: We're having some fun, we're posting some stuff on here
24:51
Speaker 5: and making a joke. And also, most importantly, I think
24:54
Speaker 5: you said what a lot of Packers fans were wondering,
24:56
Speaker 5: right Like, I mean, for what he didn't. He didn't
24:58
Speaker 5: do a whole lot other than get hurt actively, potentially
25:02
Speaker 5: try to hurt players during training camp, have the coach
25:04
Speaker 5: say hey, how about you chill them out, and then
25:07
Speaker 5: not do it. Like there's a lot of reasons to
25:09
Speaker 5: say it. I did like the one UH Packers account
25:12
Speaker 5: that UH had three different injuries all year, went through
25:14
Speaker 5: hell trying to get back. I thought you'd have some
25:15
Speaker 5: empathy for me. Goes, hey, I'm gonna be polite here,
25:18
Speaker 5: wipe your chin. So my man, David Boxyard is going
25:21
Speaker 5: for chuggings. He's going straight for throats. He's not taking
25:25
Speaker 5: he's not pulling any punch.
25:26
Speaker 3: I thought that was.
25:27
Speaker 6: Kind of a goofy response too, but like it's funny.
25:30
Speaker 6: I'll admit it entertained us that day. But even he said,
25:34
Speaker 6: I'm tapping back into xents. I'm usually a posting ghost.
25:36
Speaker 3: Guy these days.
25:37
Speaker 6: So you're admitting not to smoke on Twitter, like smoke
25:41
Speaker 6: and respect for that. The thing is get it right back.
25:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's unseemly when guys, anybody on social punch is down.
25:52
Speaker 3: Now, that's fair. I can see that.
25:53
Speaker 1: I just like, so you know, yeah, you're an NFL
25:56
Speaker 1: player and you're a pro. You've forgotten more about football
25:59
Speaker 1: than any that's where you go there and if you're
26:02
Speaker 1: punching down, and that was the thing like, oh, you know,
26:04
Speaker 1: you and your forty followers, you know, yeah, in your
26:08
Speaker 1: mom's basement, like you're always The.
26:11
Speaker 6: Thing about him, too, is he's a smart guy. He's
26:13
Speaker 6: always been a smart guy. He's always been interesting. I
26:16
Speaker 6: think you could, you could offer us a little more
26:18
Speaker 6: than just the I'm gonna push you in the corner
26:20
Speaker 6: type of thing. But hey, it's not that serious, Billy.
26:23
Speaker 6: You are right about that, and it's it's like there's
26:27
Speaker 6: much worse transgressions. But I think you have a lot
26:30
Speaker 6: more interesting stuff to say. And I do like hearing
26:32
Speaker 6: him talk. I've always liked his interviews. He's interesting. So
26:34
Speaker 6: let's hear it, you know, let's hear more.
26:36
Speaker 3: Maybe that's not what he wants. Maybe he just wants
26:38
Speaker 3: to say a couple of things.
26:39
Speaker 1: Ago you're buying or selling that This is the tweet

28:48
Speaker 3: through exactly? Hey, it was his choice.
28:51
Speaker 5: What what a conversation with the editor to say, hey,
28:53
Speaker 5: you know what I actually I'm gonna go by I
28:55
Speaker 5: know he was.
28:55
Speaker 1: Always Michael Hunt his first name, but that was always
28:58
Speaker 1: his byline.
28:59
Speaker 3: But professionally, Michael didn't like Michael.
29:02
Speaker 5: I would love to know if all of a sudden,
29:04
Speaker 5: his parents just guys, I'm gonna start going by Michael,
29:07
Speaker 5: and his dad's just sitting in the back just I
29:10
Speaker 5: might second guess that one, but Mike might with rod though.
29:13
Speaker 3: You know, that's the thing about it.
29:15
Speaker 6: He probably didn't assume he's gonna go by his middle
29:17
Speaker 6: name unless they called him by his middle name. That's
29:19
Speaker 6: what I always wonder, how did that start? You know,
29:22
Speaker 6: when the guys go by their middle name. So yeah,
29:25
Speaker 6: but hey, listen, the name is important and you you
29:27
Speaker 6: are not. All you have is your name. I've heard,
29:29
Speaker 6: you know, that's a refrain that we hear.
29:31
Speaker 5: So so one then one of the stories that was
29:34
Speaker 5: was rolling around yesterday and uh, pros Versus Joe's The
29:37
Speaker 5: barstool guys were doing a version of it with a
29:39
Speaker 5: bunch of old NBA players and college players Dougie Kid
29:43
Speaker 5: from Peru, from Saint Peter's, who's making all the money
29:45
Speaker 5: with the chicken wing spot? Uh was was there? Kamari
29:48
Speaker 5: McGee was a late ad, but it had me thinking, Man,
29:51
Speaker 5: we need to buy back Spike TV's old pros Versus Joe's.
29:54
Speaker 3: Oh that was great. Do you remember the.
29:56
Speaker 5: Old school version of pros Versus Joe's One of my
30:00
Speaker 5: one of my college football coaches who's now the head
30:02
Speaker 5: coach at uw Oshkosh, Peter Jennings now somebody I don't
30:05
Speaker 5: know if he enjoyed ABC News right, yeah, the Pete
30:09
Speaker 5: Bananas version of him playing and I want to say
30:12
Speaker 5: it was pac Man Jones when he was a Division
30:15
Speaker 5: three quarterback and had to be able to throw tds
30:18
Speaker 5: on pac Man Jones. That was a thirty minute special
30:20
Speaker 5: that everybody would be able to watch.
30:22
Speaker 3: Then you'd enjoy.
30:24
Speaker 5: Now the amount of trash talk that these guys would
30:26
Speaker 5: be able to give and the social media content. Somebody
30:29
Speaker 5: needs to bring back that television.
30:31
Speaker 3: That was an.
30:32
Speaker 6: Amazing and there were a lot of athletes that were
30:34
Speaker 6: on that that I just don't know guys to do
30:35
Speaker 6: that anymore, but it was the perfect you know, if
30:38
Speaker 6: you want to see, Hey, look you think you can
30:40
Speaker 6: get twenty yards on me?
30:41
Speaker 3: You think you can do this? It was so fun
30:43
Speaker 3: to watch.
30:44
Speaker 6: It was sort of the next generation I thought of
30:46
Speaker 6: American Gladiators in some ways, although American Gladiators had a
30:49
Speaker 6: different premise and different challenges.
30:51
Speaker 3: But that was a cool show. I love that thing,
30:53
Speaker 3: American Gladiators. Yeah, you guys, go back and watch some
30:56
Speaker 3: of the superstars. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, that's the
30:58
Speaker 3: old school.
30:59
Speaker 6: They were like and tugle war and stuff like they
31:01
Speaker 6: were weird stuff the Supersiars had.
31:03
Speaker 3: But it was still cool.
31:04
Speaker 1: Man, still cool, say, guys from different sports compete in
31:08
Speaker 1: athletic competitions and stuff. It was cool, all right, eight seven, seven, seven,
31:11
Speaker 1: nine four one ninety sevent three. The pros versus Joe's
31:14
Speaker 1: thing is a dovetail to the discussion we were having
31:17
Speaker 1: off the air, Yeah, discussion on social media. How many
31:21
Speaker 1: NBA players could you take and put them on a
31:23
Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen seed and have them carry their team
31:26
Speaker 1: to the final four and maybe a national championship. How
31:28
Speaker 1: many guys are there? There were I don't even remember
31:31
Speaker 1: what show that.
31:31
Speaker 5: Was, so it was pardon my take was talking to
31:34
Speaker 5: Alex Caruso, who is kind of a good example of
31:37
Speaker 5: it because he was the dude at Texas A and
31:40
Speaker 5: M and got to see what, you know, somebody that
31:43
Speaker 5: nobody would have thought led a Texas A and M
31:45
Speaker 5: team to the Sweet sixteen when he was, you know,
31:47
Speaker 5: twenty one years old.
31:48
Speaker 3: Yeah.
31:48
Speaker 1: So the question is how many of those guys are
31:50
Speaker 1: there in the league and who are they? Well, there's
31:53
Speaker 1: a handful. They were saying, like what twenty.
31:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, they said, like twenty to thirty guys.
31:57
Speaker 1: If you put them on like a fifteen or sixteen,
32:00
Speaker 1: they'd be a legit championship contender, like they could win
32:03
Speaker 1: a national title.
32:04
Speaker 5: And and really it's win four games to get to
32:06
Speaker 5: the final four wins six games to win the title.
32:08
Speaker 5: And I think there's two different levels to it, in
32:11
Speaker 5: my opinion. How they were saying, I think win the
32:13
Speaker 5: national title.
32:13
Speaker 3: As they said, so I took it. Yeah, well I'm sorry,
32:17
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this boy is mad over.
32:22
Speaker 1: Doesn't have to be a seed or just like any
32:25
Speaker 1: random team from the field. Because if you put Giannis on.
32:27
Speaker 3: The Badgers, they didn't say that, they said they put
32:32
Speaker 3: them on any team.
32:33
Speaker 5: Well and put them We're gonna be nice and we're
32:35
Speaker 5: gonna put them on a fourteen or take one.
32:37
Speaker 1: NBA All Star and put them on an eight seed.
32:41
Speaker 1: And that's not that far fetched.
32:43
Speaker 5: No, Like, if you, if at all you threw Wem
32:46
Speaker 5: beyond Queens.
32:48
Speaker 1: He threw Wem beyond High Point. You know that's gonna
32:50
Speaker 1: be a favorite against the Badgers. Yeah, like it's that
32:53
Speaker 1: that that's there's a large number. Now I don't necessarily
32:56
Speaker 1: know that Cason Wallace is going to drop down onto
32:59
Speaker 1: Hofstra and take them to the national title.
33:01
Speaker 3: But that's all I'm saying.
33:03
Speaker 6: But this was hop on a sixteen seed and winning
33:09
Speaker 6: Natty that was the question.
33:10
Speaker 1: Questionally, yeah, question, what you're saying is different. So it
33:13
Speaker 1: goes back, m I'm gonna hit your marquette in the fields.
33:16
Speaker 1: Al McGuire once said that. Al McGuire one said years ago,
33:20
Speaker 1: you could take the last guy off the bench, and
33:21
Speaker 1: this was the NBA was smaller at that point, smaller rosters.
33:24
Speaker 1: But he said, you could take the last go off
33:25
Speaker 1: an NBA bench, put him on a college team and
33:27
Speaker 1: they're winning the champions.
33:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, but there was also no three point show shot clock,
33:32
Speaker 6: different games.
33:32
Speaker 1: He said, it was a different game, and that was
33:34
Speaker 1: like NBA is better now than I know.
33:36
Speaker 6: Was that I also think players are better at the
33:38
Speaker 6: next level, the level below, and also that that's what
33:40
Speaker 6: would be my as.
33:41
Speaker 1: But the difference though, again like in the tournament, how
33:44
Speaker 1: many people are going to be and we're talking about
33:46
Speaker 1: a small group of the best of the best, like
33:48
Speaker 1: the if there's twenty guys like think of like the
33:51
Speaker 1: All Star games you put like and again we're not
33:55
Speaker 1: talking maybe thirty eight year old Lebron but maybe twenty
33:57
Speaker 1: eight year old You're.
33:58
Speaker 5: Right, you're thinking guys that are in the peak of
33:59
Speaker 5: their power. Jalen Brown having the best year of his career.
34:02
Speaker 5: Put him on any of these teams, yeah, good luck
34:03
Speaker 5: stopping them. And there are guys who are you know,
34:06
Speaker 5: arm and point out O.
34:06
Speaker 1: There's guys that first pickund first overall picks that are
34:09
Speaker 1: good and go on to good NBA careers. Yeah, but
34:10
Speaker 1: they're not as good at twenty one as they are
34:12
Speaker 1: twenty seven.
34:13
Speaker 6: If you put if you put Sga on Howard, I mean,
34:15
Speaker 6: they're gonna be really good, but they're all He's also
34:18
Speaker 6: gonna be double and triple. There's gonna be a great
34:20
Speaker 6: score on ad bad team. So I just don't think
34:23
Speaker 6: it's as many as people think that could sustain at
34:26
Speaker 6: The question was a sixteen set? Now can you put
34:28
Speaker 6: them on a different like level like a wemb maybe
34:31
Speaker 6: and stuff like that.
34:32
Speaker 3: There might be a.
34:32
Speaker 6: Couple guys, but I think this idea that thirty or
34:34
Speaker 6: forty guys I think is toty twenty all.
34:37
Speaker 5: Right, put it at thirty because they say thirty in there.
34:39
Speaker 5: So that's like the best player on every team, right.
34:42
Speaker 6: I don't think the best player in every team is
34:44
Speaker 6: carrying a sixteen seed to the Nattie. I definitely don't. No,
34:47
Speaker 6: maybe a final four for an eight seed or something
34:49
Speaker 6: like that. No, I mean there are a lot of relations.
34:52
Speaker 5: See that happens almost every other year, a lot of
34:54
Speaker 5: Really we're talking about it different. We're talking about different
34:57
Speaker 5: caliber of player, dude, completely different caliber player, and you're
35:01
Speaker 5: going grown playing in the game.
35:03
Speaker 6: Carlos Boozer is going to be that guy next year.
35:05
Speaker 6: A lot of top end players in college are going
35:07
Speaker 6: to be camer He's going.
35:09
Speaker 5: To be twenty years old. He's not going to be
35:11
Speaker 5: one of the thirty best players in the end, but.
35:13
Speaker 6: He'll be a topic and he'll be an instant play
35:15
Speaker 6: right away. I mean, Cooper Flagg last year was putting
35:18
Speaker 6: up a lot of numbers. So you think a SGA
35:21
Speaker 6: with Howard is going to be Cooper Flagg's duke last year.
35:23
Speaker 6: That's absurd to me. I don't believe it, and I
35:26
Speaker 6: don't think it's going to happen. I think it's overstated,
35:28
Speaker 6: and that's my take on it.
35:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like, okay, chet Holmgren, remember what he did
35:33
Speaker 1: in the tournament. He's better now, He's way better.
35:37
Speaker 3: I agree there better now, But I think it's a
35:39
Speaker 3: lot to overcoming.
35:40
Speaker 1: He's talking about a lot of Okay, and I said
35:43
Speaker 1: like when Davidson made that their run and had Steph Curry.
35:47
Speaker 3: Correct, he wasn't is now not anywhere closely.
35:51
Speaker 1: Curry at twenty six was way better than Steph Curry
35:54
Speaker 1: at twenty.
35:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, you dropped Steph Curry from the seventy three win
35:57
Speaker 5: Warriors and good luck to anybody stopping them, and then
36:00
Speaker 5: w A Turty.
36:00
Speaker 3: So there might be one or two. But James Harden, all.
36:03
Speaker 5: Right, now let me hear it, because you yourself, you
36:05
Speaker 5: threw well, that's fair. There could be a club if
36:07
Speaker 5: they gotta go to Houston. It's gonna be tough, especially
36:09
Speaker 5: with n Il He's gonna have cash in his pockets.
36:11
Speaker 3: So you said sg A Howard, you said struggle.
36:13
Speaker 5: Would you bet on Howard to beat Michigan if SGA
36:16
Speaker 5: was on the team.
36:18
Speaker 3: I don't think I would. That's a tough call, but
36:21
Speaker 3: I don't think I would.
36:22
Speaker 6: And I definitely don't think they're going six rounds that
36:25
Speaker 6: beating six teams in the sixteen.
36:27
Speaker 1: How good would high Point be against Wisconsin if they
36:29
Speaker 1: had oh I don't know, Kevin Durant, Oh my god.
36:32
Speaker 6: Against Wisconsin, they might they might beat him, beat him.
36:36
Speaker 6: The question was more of an extreme, and that's how.
36:38
Speaker 3: I Jerry and a Plowchuk.
36:39
Speaker 5: I think the perfect example would be Carmelo Anthony on
36:41
Speaker 5: Saraho Syracuse. He literally dominated that entire tournament and won
36:45
Speaker 5: the national championship.
36:47
Speaker 3: He was great. That's not true though, how good and
36:51
Speaker 3: a lot of good plays.
36:51
Speaker 1: Okay, but let's take Duke and then we'll take a
36:54
Speaker 1: give me a random playing team or something.
36:56
Speaker 3: Give me Dayton U NBC or somebody.
37:00
Speaker 1: Give me Dayton and Jokic, and then we'll go up
37:03
Speaker 1: against Duke.
37:04
Speaker 3: I'll take Lehigh and Jokic against Florida any day of
37:07
Speaker 3: the week.
37:08
Speaker 5: You know, Jokic would be you know, they brought a
37:11
Speaker 5: cruiser South Region.
37:12
Speaker 6: Yes, I understand, but okay, they they used the Dwayne
37:18
Speaker 6: Wade example. We don't have much time here, but they
37:20
Speaker 6: used the Dwayne Wade example, which is a great example.
37:22
Speaker 3: He definitely lift the marquete to different heights.
37:23
Speaker 6: But they also had a good team around him, and
37:25
Speaker 6: they also got blown out by thirty to Kansas, who
37:28
Speaker 6: had Nick Collinson and Kirk Heinrich. It's not like just
37:31
Speaker 6: a given like Dwayne Wade wasn't the player who was
37:33
Speaker 6: going to be in the next five years I totally
37:35
Speaker 6: agree that.
37:35
Speaker 5: Dwayne Wade was him in two thousand and five, two
37:38
Speaker 5: thousand and six. Good luck, Kirk Heinrich company.
37:41
Speaker 6: I would like to think that, but I'm not sure
37:43
Speaker 6: because that Kansas team was incredible and was outclassing Marquette
37:47
Speaker 6: that day.
37:47
Speaker 3: So finals MVP, go ahead. Just I just, oh my god,
37:52
Speaker 3: I don't know.
37:52
Speaker 6: And you were talking about a team with really good
37:54
Speaker 6: players all round, not the sixteen seed, you know, which
37:58
Speaker 6: is absolutely levels below.
38:00
Speaker 1: How did Georgia do the year they had Anthony Edwards?
38:03
Speaker 1: They did not make the turn they made it to
38:05
Speaker 1: make the tournament.
38:06
Speaker 6: Same with Ben Simmons. Now, Ben Simmons, we know it
38:08
Speaker 6: is not benefit MBMS.
38:09
Speaker 1: Now that Anthony Edwards is one year of college. Now
38:11
Speaker 1: he's look how much better he is now. Put him
38:13
Speaker 1: on that team now and then ers Tom Screen would
38:16
Speaker 1: go further than.
38:16
Speaker 3: He did before. What with Ace Bailey, I'm just a
38:19
Speaker 3: good one.
38:20
Speaker 1: Ah, Yes, eight seven seven seven seven three be a
38:26
Speaker 1: good question for Butcher if we can get a hold
38:27
Speaker 1: of him.
38:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, but she's gonna hopefully hopefully join us a late
38:30
Speaker 5: back half of the seven o'clock hour.
38:32
Speaker 3: Good one.
38:33
Speaker 1: It's the uh, it's the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin
38:36
Speaker 1: Quarters on this Saint Patrick's.
38:38
Speaker 3: Day in the good Land.
38:39
Speaker 1: We're thinking green after being buried in white stuff yesterday
38:43
Speaker 1: and through much of the weekend, folks around the state
38:46
Speaker 1: recovering from a historic blizzard.
38:49
Speaker 3: At least uh in central Wisconsin.
38:51
Speaker 5: Holy cow man, twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven inches,
38:55
Speaker 5: like that is just next level.
38:57
Speaker 3: The snow banks gotta be like six feet.
38:59
Speaker 1: Paul huge, second biggest dumping ever in Green Bay history
39:02
Speaker 1: for twenty six inches of snow. We're digging out, though,
39:06
Speaker 1: Give us some rain, some sunshine, and be gone by
39:08
Speaker 1: next week.
39:09
Speaker 5: At this time, yeah, very very quickly. I think it's
39:11
Speaker 5: gonna hit, you know, fifties this week. It'll be nice,
39:13
Speaker 5: and it's uh, it's it's nice to also know that
39:17
Speaker 5: we can still get through it, right Like there, there's
39:19
Speaker 5: a little bit of a pride factor.
39:20
Speaker 3: When you are done.
39:21
Speaker 5: You turn that snowblower off, or you put the shovel away,
39:23
Speaker 5: you grab that cold beer, or you just sit down
39:25
Speaker 5: and try to like catch your breath.
39:27
Speaker 3: Yesterday I just thought I was about to pass out.
39:29
Speaker 3: Your boy is really out of shape. If I'm about
39:31
Speaker 3: to pass out from shoveling and snow blown. There was
39:34
Speaker 3: a moment in time, call it the whittow Maker for
39:36
Speaker 3: a reason, there was a.
39:37
Speaker 5: Real there was a moment there where I sat down
39:39
Speaker 5: on the I sat down on the steps.
39:40
Speaker 3: I'm like, wow, I really need to go take a
39:42
Speaker 3: walk or something. Yeah, but no, it's not just you.
39:44
Speaker 6: It's hard. It's hard work. I mean I was huffing
39:48
Speaker 6: and puffing. It's hard to shovel that mashed potatoes, man,
39:52
Speaker 6: like that thick wet snow that's that high water content.
39:55
Speaker 3: No, it's hard. It's to the point where it's a
39:57
Speaker 3: lot of people just shouldn't be doing it.
39:59
Speaker 1: Time for a little Who's who's not brought to us

40:48
Speaker 5: He was the first pick that they took. He led
40:50
Speaker 5: the SEC in bombs a year ago. And it feels
