1:59
Speaker 7: Then the Mendoza the platform. That's what I was. That
2:02
Speaker 7: was his lightning rod during the National Title. I'd listened
2:05
Speaker 7: LinkedIn might be a good one. I did check in, Uh,
2:07
Speaker 7: LinkedIn did still have my identification?
2:09
Speaker 4: And I logged in.
2:10
Speaker 7: Sent me the email saying, hey, you haven't used this
2:13
Speaker 7: in like four years. Just wanted to make sure that
2:15
Speaker 7: was you and not somebody trying to.
2:17
Speaker 5: Someone learned at me because I was the same way.
2:19
Speaker 5: I hadn't logged on for a long time. They're like,
2:21
Speaker 5: what's your problem? You haven't accepted me in LinkedIn. I'm like, really,
2:24
Speaker 5: I didn't know that. It's been like six years. I'm
2:26
Speaker 5: like sorry, I wasn't really logging in. But I guess
2:28
Speaker 5: people are treating that more like social media now.
2:31
Speaker 4: More and more they really are like that.
2:33
Speaker 3: And the thing is like early on in the radio
2:36
Speaker 3: career twenty years ago, like I didn't realize like, oh, LinkedIn, okay,
2:40
Speaker 3: I accepted everybody, and then I would have like salespeople go, oh,
2:44
Speaker 3: you're LinkedIn to this guy that owns x y Z Corporation.
2:46
Speaker 4: Can you hook me up?
2:47
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know that dude exactly. It's like
2:49
Speaker 3: never met that guy.
2:50
Speaker 5: I did the same thing.
2:51
Speaker 6: I was everything.
2:54
Speaker 5: It's like Facebook, you tend to overtime, use certain platforms
2:57
Speaker 5: more and then use them less. I don't really go
2:59
Speaker 5: on Facebook munch more. One of our texts found my
3:02
Speaker 5: you know, texted in yesterday. I want to say it
3:04
Speaker 5: was red hot Tim not that asked is it you
3:07
Speaker 5: or is this like an A yeah, this is Arvin Sarten.
3:11
Speaker 5: This is definitely a picture of me. And Laura from
3:13
Speaker 5: my cousin's wedding like five years ago.
3:15
Speaker 4: You know, it's a great shot.
3:17
Speaker 3: Shot the sunglasses we're looking for shot. Yeah, Billy, do
3:21
Speaker 3: we need a hero today? Because I got one for you.
3:23
Speaker 4: We do all right, good, perfect.
3:24
Speaker 7: We have a hero of the day, and our heroes
3:26
Speaker 7: walking amongst us are Current Electric. Listen, we know sports
3:29
Speaker 7: on this program, but we don't necessarily know is electrical
3:32
Speaker 7: fixes outside of maybe changing a light bulb. After that,
3:34
Speaker 7: we're gonna call Current Electric the superheroes. And there's a
3:37
Speaker 7: lot of companies that want to get your services and
3:41
Speaker 7: want to help you out. However, only one wants to
3:44
Speaker 7: earn your trust and earn your business. That's Current Electric.
3:46
Speaker 7: Give them a chance. Call Current dot Com. That's called
3:48
Speaker 7: Current dot Com for more information.
3:50
Speaker 3: Drew hold with the superhero I'm going to reach out
3:52
Speaker 3: to them because at Stateley Olsen Manor, there is a
3:55
Speaker 3: ceiling fan in the primary bedroom that it only works
3:59
Speaker 3: if the is on as well, which to fix that, Yeah,
4:02
Speaker 3: I gotta fix that.
4:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like.
4:04
Speaker 3: It's got to be something electricals. It's got like five
4:05
Speaker 3: buttons on it. But in order to get the fan
4:07
Speaker 3: to rotate, the light has to be on and like
4:09
Speaker 3: that ain't right. No, yeah, because it's at nighttime, you
4:13
Speaker 3: don't want the light on. So I'll be calling our friends.
4:17
Speaker 3: But the hero of the day to me is going
4:18
Speaker 3: to be a guy who I've admired for many years,
4:20
Speaker 3: going back to when he played Jay Billis.
4:23
Speaker 4: Let's Go.
4:24
Speaker 3: J Billis was on with Chris Russo yesterday he was
4:26
Speaker 3: asked about mc cronin acting like a total press conference
4:31
Speaker 3: and Billis said, I love Mick, but I said, I
4:34
Speaker 3: really didn't think the press conference thing. I didn't like
4:35
Speaker 3: the press conference thing. I thought it was kind of
4:37
Speaker 3: petulant and unnecessary and regarding coach's demeanor at press conferences
4:42
Speaker 3: and we get it, you know when your blood is
4:44
Speaker 3: boiling stuff. And J Bilis said, look, I'm okay with
4:47
Speaker 3: the feeling that the media doesn't understand basketball the same
4:50
Speaker 3: way coaches do.
4:51
Speaker 4: Congratulations.
4:52
Speaker 3: When I go into a restaurant, I'm not a chef,
4:54
Speaker 3: but I get to a pine on the meal. I'm
4:56
Speaker 3: paying for it. I get to a pine on it.
4:59
Speaker 3: I don't see why this is so difficult. I understand
5:01
Speaker 3: they're a competitor, but the competition is over and now
5:04
Speaker 3: it's time to talk about it, and it's not that hard.
5:08
Speaker 3: Regarding coaches, Billis went on, they win in their nightclub comics,
5:13
Speaker 3: they lose, and they can be petty at times. It
5:15
Speaker 3: felt really good that Mick apologized about the whole thing,
5:18
Speaker 3: and to me, it's over. I guess I'm talking more
5:20
Speaker 3: broadly and globally on this, but these things aren't that hard.
5:23
Speaker 3: There's no reason to act this way. If you don't
5:25
Speaker 3: like a question, just say, look, I prefer not to
5:27
Speaker 3: answer that. It's not that big of a deal. He
5:30
Speaker 3: was rolling, and he was He was talking about, yes,
5:34
Speaker 3: about the tough travel schedule, about then it's spun into
5:37
Speaker 3: the tough travel schedule.
5:39
Speaker 5: Which I think actually he's got points about, but I.
5:42
Speaker 3: Think he gets and then here's but here's billis the
5:45
Speaker 3: way I recall it.
5:46
Speaker 4: The Big Ten extended an invitation to U C.
5:48
Speaker 6: L A, U s C.
5:49
Speaker 3: Washington organ If they didn't want to travel, they should
5:51
Speaker 3: have said no, I'm not listening to any of that.
5:54
Speaker 3: These schedules are difficult and it's going to be tough.
5:56
Speaker 3: But I don't get that your school is the one
5:59
Speaker 3: that decided the joe in the Big Ten. You could
6:00
Speaker 3: have stayed in the Pac twelve and you would have
6:02
Speaker 3: been home by dinner. That was your choice. Jay Bill
6:05
Speaker 3: is our current Electric hero of the day for laying
6:08
Speaker 3: it out. I've always liked Jay. I mean, he's sometimes
6:11
Speaker 3: he throws some hot takes. Sure, he's a lawyer, he's
6:14
Speaker 3: an analyst, he gets it. He's one of the guys
6:16
Speaker 3: that I when I hear him opine on things, I
6:19
Speaker 3: trust his judgment and his vision and his knowledge, and
6:23
Speaker 3: I feel like I learned something to listen to the dude.
6:25
Speaker 3: But I just when I saw those comments, I'm like,
6:27
Speaker 3: that's a hero by CURRL Electric. I'd like Jay billis
6:30
Speaker 3: ever since his I believe it was his This is
6:33
Speaker 3: Sports Center commercial back with Hubert Davis when he sat down.
6:35
Speaker 4: What is wrong with these people in this cafeteria?
6:38
Speaker 7: I don't know Duke boy like I've enjoyed him for
6:41
Speaker 7: a long time because he's at least smart enough to
6:43
Speaker 7: walk circles around and doesn't necessarily want to That one
6:46
Speaker 7: right there, Mick Cronin has made a living, has made
6:50
Speaker 7: a career off bitching and moaning and being one of
6:53
Speaker 7: the best at it in the sport. But the answer
6:56
Speaker 7: to UCLA that this is the other one, Mick, you
6:59
Speaker 7: don't have to be the coach at UCLA, right right.
7:02
Speaker 5: You're at Cincinnati for thirteen years. You were a Cincinnati alum.
7:05
Speaker 5: I think or a guy.
7:06
Speaker 7: Well, and I do believe right now, he'd be able
7:09
Speaker 7: to get a lot of jobs, Like at the end
7:10
Speaker 7: of the year, if he wants to go somewhere else,
7:12
Speaker 7: I think he'd get a majority of the jobs that
7:14
Speaker 7: are open. He would be one of the prime candidates.
7:16
Speaker 7: So if you don't want to be the coach there
7:18
Speaker 7: and he don't want to travel anymore, it's.
7:20
Speaker 5: Not that big of a da I just think he
7:21
Speaker 5: wants people to recognize or it's an excuse making. He
7:25
Speaker 5: wants people to say, hey, I'm in a disadvantage, so
7:27
Speaker 5: remember that when you judge me. So a lot of
7:29
Speaker 5: it is and I'm not defending that. I'm just saying
7:31
Speaker 5: it's a lot of him just you know, wanting to
7:33
Speaker 5: do that, a little bit, wanting to make excuses, wanting
7:35
Speaker 5: to do that, and the whole thing about you know,
7:37
Speaker 5: they could have stayed in the PAC ten. Yeah, but
7:39
Speaker 5: that he doesn't make that decision, right, So maybe it's
7:41
Speaker 5: a shot in his ad in administration more than anything.
7:44
Speaker 5: Jim Behind at Syracuse when he constantly complained about going
7:48
Speaker 5: to the ACC and said we don't belong here and
7:49
Speaker 5: stuff like that. But Jay's point is right, like some
7:52
Speaker 5: of these coaches take things and for good reason. I
7:55
Speaker 5: mean there's a lot riding on it, but they take
7:56
Speaker 5: things so seriously. We've seen more coaching outbursts this year
7:59
Speaker 5: that member and some time.
8:00
Speaker 4: That's true.
8:01
Speaker 3: Uh, pressure cooker, having to recruit your own every day.
8:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Jerome Tang thing, I know that Colorado coach
8:07
Speaker 5: going on off one.
8:08
Speaker 4: So Cronin.
8:10
Speaker 3: They won a big game at Illinois Saturday. That was
8:13
Speaker 3: a huge tournament because they got they got skunk. They
8:17
Speaker 3: got beat by sixty against Michigan and Michigan State and
8:20
Speaker 3: their trip to Michigan, so that might get them in
8:22
Speaker 3: the tournament. He's probably not gonna get fired, although you know,
8:24
Speaker 3: Johnny Vegas is my resident Bruins fan there thinks he
8:27
Speaker 3: should be fired. They're under a chief. They played some
8:30
Speaker 3: they played some ugly basketball. I watched it was with
8:32
Speaker 3: Johnny Vegas in Port of Iarta and we watched a
8:35
Speaker 3: bit of that Michigan State, so you.
8:37
Speaker 5: Saw the Michigan State came with him that's that was
8:40
Speaker 5: And the problem is that u c l A. Once
8:42
Speaker 5: upon a time, I don't know if it still is,
8:44
Speaker 5: but once upon time that was the West Coast blue
8:46
Speaker 5: blood for everybody. So the standard tire there. So they're
8:49
Speaker 5: on the ten eleven line right now. They'll probably make
8:51
Speaker 5: the tournament, but being a ten seat or eleven seed
8:52
Speaker 5: isn't enough for UCLA. Hey, we should be contending every
8:55
Speaker 5: year with UCLA.
8:56
Speaker 3: Is there's they're not. Again, it's the same thing that
8:59
Speaker 3: we said at Wisconsin. Not putting the resources into that's
9:01
Speaker 3: exactly what they just think they could just open the doors.
9:04
Speaker 3: And like that used to be the thing about more.
9:06
Speaker 3: When Skrzewski was at Duke, a lot of guys like,
9:09
Speaker 3: is he a great recruiter?
9:10
Speaker 2: Do?
9:10
Speaker 3: They don't recruit, they select. They got McDonald's all Americans
9:14
Speaker 3: standing wanting to go there, and it's like they but
9:17
Speaker 3: now when you have to pay guys, you know, truth
9:21
Speaker 3: be told, they were paying guys back.
9:22
Speaker 4: When Coree and Bill Walton and those guys were.
9:25
Speaker 5: There more than they do now.
9:27
Speaker 3: Sam Gilbert, Sam Gilbert was paying guys and Marcus Johnson
9:31
Speaker 3: and all those guys.
9:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's tard hated that oh, because that one blames
9:34
Speaker 5: Terry Tarkanian for being dirty UNLV when he's like, they're
9:37
Speaker 5: doing it U c l A.
9:38
Speaker 4: Why don't you guys, But you guys are reading his
9:40
Speaker 4: book while he's doing it over here. But it is.
9:42
Speaker 7: It's one of those where you talk about the perception
9:44
Speaker 7: arm and and kind of some excuse making. It's like, hey,
9:47
Speaker 7: this brand, although the blue and yellow is still the same,
9:51
Speaker 7: what we what it is and what the program ultimately
9:53
Speaker 7: can be is going to be a little different. I
9:56
Speaker 7: don't think there's as much of that, you know, if
9:58
Speaker 7: you localize it to Wisconsin, like some people would say
10:00
Speaker 7: that that's gonna be loose. I don't think Luke Fickle
10:03
Speaker 7: has done that at Wisconsin right, Like, while the results
10:06
Speaker 7: have been bad, especially this year, I do think the
10:08
Speaker 7: last thing he did was excuse, like, make a bunch
10:10
Speaker 7: of excuses. He probably could have and found a bunch
10:14
Speaker 7: of reasons too instead, you know, maybe he didn't like
10:16
Speaker 7: you didn't like the answers that he gave of it.
10:18
Speaker 7: We just need to get better, and we need to
10:20
Speaker 7: figure out who's gonna be our leaders, and at some
10:21
Speaker 7: point it's gonna be the stepping up. But you saw
10:24
Speaker 7: some of that get a little bit different towards the
10:26
Speaker 7: end of the year when you're so set in your ways. Drew,
10:29
Speaker 7: I think it's tough for some of these coaches to one.
10:33
Speaker 7: A lot of guys just simply don't want to let
10:35
Speaker 7: go of what used to be right, of how the
10:36
Speaker 7: sport used to be and what it used to be,
10:38
Speaker 7: and what this was and what. And for Mick Cronin,
10:41
Speaker 7: this isn't the job that he probably signed up for.
10:43
Speaker 7: When they move the conference, it's a much different task
10:46
Speaker 7: and it's a much different situation than he thought he
10:48
Speaker 7: was walking into.
10:50
Speaker 4: But it's an adapt or die kind of.
10:52
Speaker 7: World, and you are seeing more of these guys that
10:55
Speaker 7: go this way get clowned, then get a whole lot
10:58
Speaker 7: of second chances.
10:58
Speaker 3: It feels like absolutely hit us up eight seven seven
11:01
Speaker 3: seven nine one ninety seven three. Because of the state
11:03
Speaker 3: of union. We're talking about the state of the Wisconsin
11:05
Speaker 3: Sports Union. And when you talk about you tend to
11:08
Speaker 3: because it's the sign of the times, but you tend
11:10
Speaker 3: to focus on the negative. How about the positives? So
11:12
Speaker 3: how about Mark Johnson, how about Kelly Sheffield. The guys
11:16
Speaker 3: who are at the top of their game and don't
11:18
Speaker 3: always get enough.
11:19
Speaker 4: You know, flowers thrown their way.
11:21
Speaker 3: Amen for how about river Falls winning the we act,
11:25
Speaker 3: the we act being the dominant Division III right conference
11:28
Speaker 3: in the Land.
11:29
Speaker 7: Being the Big ten of Division three and shout out
11:31
Speaker 7: Matt Walker for going in in Cashion and getting a
11:33
Speaker 7: job at Draco a spot that's now started to really
11:35
Speaker 7: really win and throw some resources behind it. Right Like,
11:37
Speaker 7: the thought is, we only want to look at Oh,
11:39
Speaker 7: they lost their last five games, Packers are all bad.
11:42
Speaker 7: Although Goody mentions it in there, Drew and you talk
11:44
Speaker 7: about the most important parts of the thirteen minutes that
11:46
Speaker 7: we heard last sec last hour. He says, right in there,
11:49
Speaker 7: we're a very good team that can go win the
11:51
Speaker 7: Super Bowl. And as much as the end result doesn't
11:53
Speaker 7: feel that way, the process would show in showing the
11:56
Speaker 7: work said, they were a lot closer than further away
11:59
Speaker 7: from being one of those teams that could have hoisted
12:01
Speaker 7: that trophy this year.
12:01
Speaker 3: Again we go back to just analytically, what's more sustainable
12:06
Speaker 3: doing the things that the Packers did and keeping that
12:09
Speaker 3: going or the bear singing that they can come back
12:11
Speaker 3: from ten points down in the fourth quarter seven times
12:14
Speaker 3: a year.
12:14
Speaker 5: You know, I feel about that now, the reality is
12:16
Speaker 5: that the Packers on it. You do start to wonder,
12:20
Speaker 5: you know what if the Packers were able to stay healthy,
12:22
Speaker 5: a little bit more healthy near the end of the year.
12:24
Speaker 5: But then you also ask yourself, you know, what what
12:26
Speaker 5: can we do about the you know, the seemingly multitude
12:30
Speaker 5: now of late game collapses that the Packers have subjected
12:33
Speaker 5: themselves into, Because you have to look at yourselves in
12:36
Speaker 5: the mirror, be accountable for that. Yeah, and you have
12:38
Speaker 5: to recognize you have the ability to be a lot
12:40
Speaker 5: better than you are. And that's the positive of this.
12:42
Speaker 5: The positive is the Packers seem to have the talent
12:44
Speaker 5: when healthy, they seem to have the ability, and they
12:46
Speaker 5: seem to be in position to be a lot better
12:48
Speaker 5: than they are, but they lose these games late.
12:50
Speaker 3: You can just look at like, like, every team can
12:53
Speaker 3: do this. And it goes back to I'm old enough
12:54
Speaker 3: to remember when Lindy and Fonte said that they were like,
12:56
Speaker 3: you know, four plays away or six plays away in
12:59
Speaker 3: the season from making the playoffs. But if Romeo Dopts
13:02
Speaker 3: catches an on side kick, if Xavier McKinney hangs on
13:06
Speaker 3: to a pick, they might beat the Broncos. If you know,
13:08
Speaker 3: if if, if these plays didn't go their way, No,
13:11
Speaker 3: and but again it was they blew double digit leads. Well,
13:16
Speaker 3: they got double digit leads. They got double dig So
13:18
Speaker 3: you can look at it. So you can look at
13:21
Speaker 3: it two ways. And it's funny because when teams come
13:23
Speaker 3: back and win the way the Bears did and eRASS
13:26
Speaker 3: the three bad quarters that you played before that mm
13:28
Speaker 3: hmm drew, that's you know again, it's all part of
13:32
Speaker 3: the fun of the ride, and it's the results matter.
13:36
Speaker 3: The only thing that matters is wins and losses. I
13:37
Speaker 3: get it. But when you look at the process and
13:39
Speaker 3: you're wondering if it's flawed, let's put it this way.
13:43
Speaker 3: I would rather have if you're gonna have, like if
13:45
Speaker 3: you're looking ahead from one season to the next, I
13:47
Speaker 3: would rather try to rectify losing games with late leads
13:51
Speaker 3: then try to continue winning games that I'm behind digits.
13:56
Speaker 4: Yes, the more sustainable. What is it?
13:58
Speaker 7: I think it was six and three games where they
14:00
Speaker 7: had a double digit lead in the last five minutes.
14:03
Speaker 7: It means more than half of the regular season games
14:06
Speaker 7: they played they were up by ten with five minutes
14:09
Speaker 7: to go. That's a good place to lift from. So
14:12
Speaker 7: that's a good place to start. You could baseline, that's
14:14
Speaker 7: a good that's a good place to start.
14:17
Speaker 3: Like my chances of winning when I'm up double did
14:19
Speaker 3: it with five minutes left. Now, it didn't always work
14:21
Speaker 3: out for the backers. You got to find out how
14:22
Speaker 3: to do it. But I like the setup there and
14:24
Speaker 3: I'll take that as many times. If you want to
14:27
Speaker 3: start a game with five minutes left to me up ten,
14:29
Speaker 3: let's start from that point and let's play well.
14:31
Speaker 7: And that to that part of it to me as well.
14:34
Speaker 7: It goes into Goody's statement. At no point did he
14:37
Speaker 7: say what a lot of people maybe wanted him to say,
14:39
Speaker 7: which was right there. Hey man, we had all these
14:40
Speaker 7: leads and we choked them away, all right. So what
14:43
Speaker 7: we need to do is we need to get better
14:44
Speaker 7: from the ground up. We need to make better decisions
14:47
Speaker 7: lad in games. We need to be coach. We need
14:49
Speaker 7: to coach better. We need to play better all the
14:50
Speaker 7: listen down the line and hold everybody accountable. What he
14:53
Speaker 7: said in there is we have the team to win
14:55
Speaker 7: the games, and we expect to be winning these games.
14:59
Speaker 7: We are going to be best in twenty twenty six,
15:02
Speaker 7: from internal improvement. The internal improvement to me was not
15:05
Speaker 7: only players. That to me also was the coaching staff
15:08
Speaker 7: and being able to find ways Drew to close out
15:12
Speaker 7: those That's not only a player situation. When they say
15:15
Speaker 7: you send messages through the media, I think that one
15:17
Speaker 7: was to the entire building and you know himself included. Sure,
15:21
Speaker 7: but it's uh, we need to find ways to be
15:22
Speaker 7: able to close out these games because we're close. But
15:26
Speaker 7: now what we've put out there is still a notch
15:29
Speaker 7: or two below where we ultimately need to get to.
15:31
Speaker 5: There were some questions guys comments on the text line
15:33
Speaker 5: and on the YouTube comments about some of Gooty's comments.
15:36
Speaker 5: So let's get to a couple carry a PLoud truck
15:38
Speaker 5: to Goody say that they needed to add competition, competition
15:41
Speaker 5: to the cornerback room and the inside linebacker positions as
15:44
Speaker 5: mean the writing is on the wall for quay.
15:47
Speaker 7: Those were two of the main ones that he did
15:49
Speaker 7: point out. The Quaywalker One's fascinating because I don't think
15:53
Speaker 7: the play has been consistent enough to warrant the kind
15:56
Speaker 7: of dollars I think he's gonna get. And with the
16:00
Speaker 7: right like with the I do think he's gonna get paid.
16:03
Speaker 7: I think he deserves to get a significant raised. I
16:06
Speaker 7: do think if he hits the free agent market, he
16:08
Speaker 7: gets more than Definitely, they'd.
16:10
Speaker 4: Be willing to pay absolutely.
16:11
Speaker 7: And then then he's probably going to be able to
16:14
Speaker 7: perform too, especially when you saw Tyron Hopper be able
16:17
Speaker 7: to play a little bit better in some limited spots.
16:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems like the writings on the wall there,
16:22
Speaker 4: they did a good job.
16:23
Speaker 3: They're telling us they were going to extend him though
16:25
Speaker 3: they're no longer protected by his first round pick status.
16:28
Speaker 3: Uh no, especially when a second round pick next to
16:30
Speaker 3: you is playing that well, balling well. And Edrin Cooper's
16:34
Speaker 3: another one you talk about the internal improvement. I think
16:37
Speaker 3: the Packers defense this year was predicated on him being
16:41
Speaker 3: one of the top twenty defensive players in the sport.
16:44
Speaker 3: I thought he got better throughout the year, but it
16:45
Speaker 3: wasn't consistent enough to be up.
16:47
Speaker 4: There is.
16:48
Speaker 3: Here's one for you, and this is a Dan Needles reach.
16:51
Speaker 3: Is Edrin Cooper, the Jackson urio of the Packers.
16:55
Speaker 5: Has to be the guy, young guy.
16:57
Speaker 3: You put a lot of put a lot on him,
16:59
Speaker 3: and you expected a lot, and it's like it'll come
17:01
Speaker 3: and it's good, but it's not as good as you
17:02
Speaker 3: want it.
17:02
Speaker 4: To be right away?
17:03
Speaker 5: That works. Did you put so much expectation where good
17:06
Speaker 5: year turns outwhelming?
17:07
Speaker 6: Right?
17:08
Speaker 5: I mean Jackson had a good year last year, twenty
17:11
Speaker 5: people were underwhelmed by it somehow. Now I think at
17:13
Speaker 5: the end of the year it started to pick up
17:14
Speaker 5: attention like Okay, he's actually playing really well here. But
17:17
Speaker 5: there was a point where it's like, all right, goal
17:18
Speaker 5: be the MVP now right away. And it's like, whoa, well,
17:21
Speaker 5: you're not the MVP. You're not a doctor yet. You
17:23
Speaker 5: know that whole thing.
17:24
Speaker 3: You know, again with this whole state of the Sports
17:26
Speaker 3: Union in Wisconsin thing, we talked about disappointments. Myles Turner,
17:29
Speaker 3: Doc Rivers, maybe Luke Fickle to to extent, yeah, Luke
17:33
Speaker 3: Fickle definitely would be there. McManus, kway Walker, Rashaun Garry.
17:37
Speaker 3: Those are all the disappointments. We talked about some of
17:39
Speaker 3: the positives before, like you know, Kelly Sheffield, Mark Johnson
17:42
Speaker 3: like that, what they keep running out there and being
17:44
Speaker 3: good and in terms of underappreciated, dudes, Greg guards in
17:49
Speaker 3: that gotta be underappreciated.
17:51
Speaker 4: Our value.
17:52
Speaker 3: It's like and as weird as it is to say,
17:54
Speaker 3: I put Jordan Love in my top five underappreciated and
17:57
Speaker 3: athletes in sports.
17:59
Speaker 5: A really good year he was. I think I'd say
18:01
Speaker 5: top five a lot of years in terms of in
18:03
Speaker 5: numbers metrics, uh we a lot of the advanced metrics,
18:07
Speaker 5: but I think he was getting the jounting the counting stats.
18:11
Speaker 4: Not necessarily, but the numbers would put him in what.
18:14
Speaker 7: The counting stats were so good? No, not bad, like
18:17
Speaker 7: I think rightfully. So the counting stats were the best
18:20
Speaker 7: they've been in his career. And the number one question
18:23
Speaker 7: I think people had for him was can you throw.
18:26
Speaker 4: Those touchdowns without throwing the picks? What do you have?
18:27
Speaker 4: Six picks?
18:28
Speaker 6: This?
18:28
Speaker 5: Yere yeah, this so this whole question that does Yeah.
18:31
Speaker 5: The narrative that seemed to pervade was the whole can
18:33
Speaker 5: you trust Jordan Love? But he seemed to have to
18:36
Speaker 5: deal with that. He seemed to that was put on
18:37
Speaker 5: him more than it seemed to other quarterbacks that have
18:40
Speaker 5: been less trustworthy. In my opinion, I just didn't understand it.
18:43
Speaker 5: I thought most of the year he played pretty well.
18:44
Speaker 5: He was he was making his reads, making his throats,
18:47
Speaker 5: He was productive a lot of games and then people
18:50
Speaker 5: just sit around and say yeah, okay, yeah, whatever, like
18:52
Speaker 5: they just weren't in present. I don't know, it just
18:53
Speaker 5: seemed like years. But if you look at that, if
18:56
Speaker 5: you look at that, and I know, it's a different
18:58
Speaker 5: age and a different era, so it's it's very hard
19:00
Speaker 5: to be comparative here. But if you look at the
19:02
Speaker 5: first three seasons for Rogers and for farv hey, those
19:05
Speaker 5: numbers were comparable. Oh just not fair. I know it's
19:07
Speaker 5: not fair.
19:08
Speaker 7: But didn't win the title and he was twenty seven
19:10
Speaker 7: right then, and it's gonna be playoff success in the end.
19:13
Speaker 4: But Drew, you guys, we were all I think we
19:15
Speaker 4: were in.
19:15
Speaker 7: The same seats when I almost blew a gasket in
19:17
Speaker 7: the first segment of Packers OTI after the wildcard row
19:20
Speaker 7: when somebody said we just need more on Jordan Leve,
19:21
Speaker 7: I said, wait a second, are we talking about the
19:23
Speaker 7: guy that just threw for three hundred yards and four
19:24
Speaker 7: touchdowns and no picks absolutely and bounced in the playoffs? Yep,
19:28
Speaker 7: you're that's what we're talking about.
19:29
Speaker 5: That gets frustrating because it's like you either expect him
19:32
Speaker 5: to have a touchdown drive every possession or else he's
19:34
Speaker 5: not good enough. I mean, that's a little bit of
19:36
Speaker 5: a crazy standard because but then again it was like, okay,
19:39
Speaker 5: but the third core there wasn't enough ball control. So
19:42
Speaker 5: it's you go both way on and then sure, that's
19:45
Speaker 5: the struggle of playing in the playoff games, putting so
19:48
Speaker 5: much into it and when you lose one, you nippick
19:50
Speaker 5: every little thing absolutely.
19:52
Speaker 4: So, uh, what about underappreciated?
19:54
Speaker 7: Now, this is tough because I do believe he's getting flowers,
19:56
Speaker 7: but Drew, I don't know that the job he has done,
20:00
Speaker 7: it's the requisite credit for just how impressive it is.
20:03
Speaker 7: Because I think my hot take on the Milwaukee Brewers
20:05
Speaker 7: is from the pitching as well as hitting the best
20:09
Speaker 7: the core or the outlook has looked in this run
20:12
Speaker 7: of success. The SYNCD up at the same time with
20:16
Speaker 7: the youth coming through where they legitimately might have seven
20:19
Speaker 7: young pitchers with what four to five years of club
20:22
Speaker 7: control at least, who I think could all be top
20:24
Speaker 7: four rotation pieces, while Jackson Cherio is sitting here who
20:29
Speaker 7: I think could be an MVP. Jesus Miday is coming
20:31
Speaker 7: through just ripping up the cover off the ball as
20:34
Speaker 7: well as a Gold Glover and Platinum Glover at second
20:36
Speaker 7: base who might hit twenty five home runs and a
20:38
Speaker 7: gold Glover in the outfield.
20:40
Speaker 4: They've had like one or the other.
20:42
Speaker 7: They had the pitching in the eighteen run, but they
20:44
Speaker 7: had to go buy some of the hitting with Yellich
20:46
Speaker 7: and Kane.
20:47
Speaker 4: In twenty oh eight that run.
20:48
Speaker 7: They had all the offense you could, but they had
20:51
Speaker 7: to go buy Granky. They had to go find a
20:52
Speaker 7: markhum This the best in this twenty year run of
20:56
Speaker 7: excellence for the Brewers, the best run of success they've had.
21:00
Speaker 7: It feels like right now they might be positioned on
21:02
Speaker 7: both sides of the ball to have the most success
21:05
Speaker 7: going forward.
21:05
Speaker 4: Their cores might be built up the best. So underappreciated.
21:07
Speaker 4: Matt Arnold.
21:08
Speaker 7: Matt Arnold, I mean incredible how he's been able to piece.
21:10
Speaker 3: This through it to really good. Absolutely when we come back.
21:13
Speaker 3: Another guy who's incredible, our buddy John Greenberg. L he
21:15
Speaker 3: fe himself president of your Milwaukee Admirals. Big weekend of
21:19
Speaker 3: games coming up for them, Huge Hawaiian Shirt night, They've
21:22
Speaker 3: got their charity game, which is one of his favorite
21:25
Speaker 3: games of the year.
21:25
Speaker 4: As well. We'll talk to him about the.
21:27
Speaker 3: Olympics and the juice that might come of the hockey
21:32
Speaker 3: might come out of there as well, and Admiral has
21:35
Speaker 3: been deep in the playoffs the last couple years. See
21:37
Speaker 3: if they can continue their run of success, he joins us. Next,
21:40
Speaker 3: it's the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, and we're happy
21:48
Speaker 3: to welcome our pal, president of the Milwaukee Admirals.
21:50
Speaker 4: We call them melefe. It is John Greenberg. Good morning, Greeny,
21:54
Speaker 4: Good morning guys. How we doing fantastic? Fantastic? How about you?
21:58
Speaker 4: My friend? Tough one last night, but you got point
22:00
Speaker 4: over in the moines.
22:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, And at this point of the season, no pun
22:05
Speaker 2: intended points are everything, so you know, we want to
22:09
Speaker 2: make sure that we try to get points every single night.
22:11
Speaker 2: So if it's one, that's that's that's okay. You know
22:15
Speaker 2: that you'd rather win and get the two, But as
22:17
Speaker 2: long as you're getting one during the night, that's that's important.
22:21
Speaker 2: At this point, just want to continue to you know,
22:25
Speaker 2: stay in this race. And right now we're a good place.
22:29
Speaker 2: We're up I believe, five or six points over Rockford,
22:31
Speaker 2: which is the team behind us, and we're in the
22:33
Speaker 2: last playoff spot. So we just got to keep staying there.
22:36
Speaker 2: But at the same time, there's also opportunity to move up,
22:39
Speaker 2: which this weekend will take take a long way to
22:42
Speaker 2: go to, you know, getting moved up into fourth place
22:45
Speaker 2: against Manitoba.
22:46
Speaker 7: Well, it's one of those things, too, Greeney, where you
22:48
Speaker 7: obviously want to be playing your best. You want to
22:50
Speaker 7: worry more about yourself than always everybody else. But there
22:53
Speaker 7: is a part of it where as long as you're
22:56
Speaker 7: in you have a chance, but you definitely want to
22:57
Speaker 7: be playing some of your best. How have you felt
22:59
Speaker 7: like the guys have come off of the break and
23:02
Speaker 7: been able to fight together?
23:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, it's been a little bit
23:07
Speaker 2: of up and down, which has kind of been the
23:08
Speaker 2: story of our season, and we hope to you know,
23:12
Speaker 2: get into a good stretch here. You know, it's getting
23:15
Speaker 2: into March, as you said, getting getting to the point
23:18
Speaker 2: where you're playing well.
23:19
Speaker 6: At the end.
23:20
Speaker 2: You know, the hot team going in, the hot goaltender
23:22
Speaker 2: that that always carries a lot of weight when you
23:24
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs, So we want to be in
23:27
Speaker 2: that position.
23:29
Speaker 3: John Greenberg, President of Milwaukee Admirals Greeney, what was it
23:31
Speaker 3: like for you on Sunday morning and the rest of us,
23:34
Speaker 3: were you as nervous at the end of the gold
23:36
Speaker 3: medal game as you would be in an admiral's playoff overtime.
23:41
Speaker 6: Yes, maybe even more so. You got to be honest
23:44
Speaker 6: with you.
23:44
Speaker 2: My alarm, my alarm went off at seven o'clock. You know,
23:48
Speaker 2: we had a long night the night before with the
23:51
Speaker 2: concert getting out of the building late. So unfortunately I
23:54
Speaker 2: did not drag myself out of bed to one of
23:56
Speaker 2: our fine establishments here in town. And I was so
23:58
Speaker 2: excited to see the turnoff for or watch parties at
24:01
Speaker 2: seven o'clock in the morning. That's pretty awesome. But I
24:04
Speaker 2: didn't wander too far, and it was it was good
24:07
Speaker 2: because I'm not sure my heart could have taken being
24:10
Speaker 2: you know, upright for very long.
24:12
Speaker 6: It was.
24:13
Speaker 2: It was really fantastic to watch. It's so exhilarating each
24:17
Speaker 2: and every minute, Like you know, when they got to overtime,
24:20
Speaker 2: you know, you just you want the pucket your hands
24:22
Speaker 2: and are on your stick and it's, uh, it was
24:26
Speaker 2: so exciting to watch.
24:27
Speaker 5: Well, three on three really does add a lot. I
24:29
Speaker 5: know everybody that's involved in hockey has an opinion on
24:32
Speaker 5: three on three how they feel about it, but there's
24:34
Speaker 5: no doubt it adds for some exciting hockeys and wide
24:36
Speaker 5: open eyes. And we see that a lot obviously at
24:38
Speaker 5: the admirals level in the HL, a lot of you know,
24:41
Speaker 5: those five minute overtimes with three on three could be
24:43
Speaker 5: some of the most exciting hockey you'll ever see.
24:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's true. It is one hundred percent true.
24:48
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, I will say I am one
24:52
Speaker 2: of those that for the gold medal, I.
24:55
Speaker 6: Think they should play five on five. But that's just me.
24:58
Speaker 2: But you know, for for you know, just pure excitement,
25:02
Speaker 2: three on three is there's nothing really quite like that.
25:06
Speaker 2: I saw that they were playing twenty minutes a three
25:07
Speaker 2: on three. Well, somebody's gonna win here. These guys they
25:10
Speaker 2: get through twenty minutes.
25:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely true.
25:13
Speaker 3: It's a little bit like having that runner at second
25:15
Speaker 3: base to start an inning and ax the crack went home.
25:18
Speaker 3: It's a it's a little bit microwavy.
25:20
Speaker 7: Yes, you know, Yeah, Kreeny, it's been a it's been
25:23
Speaker 7: a hot conversation. It's been the debate since on the
25:26
Speaker 7: show of like, uh, the ability for this to be
25:28
Speaker 7: a launching point for the sport, the accessibility to the
25:31
Speaker 7: amount that the NHL's on TV, these guys being in it,
25:35
Speaker 7: and the stars. To take nothing away from the incredible
25:39
Speaker 7: UH gold medal win in nineteen eighty, but those weren't
25:43
Speaker 7: the stars of the NHL, and maybe now the stars
25:46
Speaker 7: are are greater than they've ever been. The talent is
25:48
Speaker 7: so good that I think it's going to be a
25:50
Speaker 7: great launching point for the sport where where more and
25:53
Speaker 7: more people are going to get into it. More and
25:54
Speaker 7: more people captivated into it because of the games on TV,
25:58
Speaker 7: how much it will be into the playof but also
26:01
Speaker 7: because these guys in the NHL are playing. I guess
26:03
Speaker 7: I didn't know as much of the fight as it
26:06
Speaker 7: sounds like that the NHL players put forth in their
26:09
Speaker 7: last negotiation to be a part of the Olympics. This
26:13
Speaker 7: was really really meaningful for the players to be allowed
26:16
Speaker 7: to do this, right, It seems like that was a
26:18
Speaker 7: massive sticking point, and it's it's shown why they're played
26:22
Speaker 7: with so much pride for the country.
26:25
Speaker 6: Yeah.
26:25
Speaker 2: I think these guys have always wanted to play in
26:28
Speaker 2: the Olympics. You know, this is a chance to play
26:30
Speaker 2: for your country. It might be a once in a
26:32
Speaker 2: lifetime opportunity and a chance to win a gold medal
26:35
Speaker 2: with the USA Cross Rod chest is is a really
26:39
Speaker 2: important thing for these guys. The same thing up in Canada.
26:41
Speaker 2: You know, those guys all wanted to win for Canada
26:44
Speaker 2: and all the other countries that were represented. So yes,
26:48
Speaker 2: this is a not to that can use another pun,
26:51
Speaker 2: but this is a golden opportunity for these for our
26:54
Speaker 2: sport to you know, continue to grow both Amend's and
26:59
Speaker 2: the women's you know, I think you girls hockey has
27:04
Speaker 2: you know, always been on the upswing, and it shows
27:08
Speaker 2: both the quality of play at our college level, you know,
27:11
Speaker 2: at high school level, we're about to get to the
27:14
Speaker 2: state championships for both boys and girls hockey in Wisconsin's
27:18
Speaker 2: matter of fact, we are hosting the state sectional finals
27:21
Speaker 2: on Friday night in our building. So it's going to
27:25
Speaker 2: be really a lot of fun to see that. And
27:29
Speaker 2: you know, the growth opportunity here is enormous and so
27:33
Speaker 2: we have to all take advantage of it.
27:36
Speaker 3: It's better to be remembered for winning a gold medal
27:38
Speaker 3: in overtime than it is losing in the tournament and
27:41
Speaker 3: trashing your hotel rooms as they did in the late nineties,
27:45
Speaker 3: the Ronick and and those guys, as I recall, you
27:50
Speaker 3: can check me on this wasn't the coach that year,
27:52
Speaker 3: Former Admirals coach Ron Wilson in ninety eight.
27:56
Speaker 6: That sounds right.
27:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't have a lot of control over that group. So, uh,
28:02
Speaker 2: you know these guys, you know, this year, there's certainly
28:06
Speaker 2: probably I'm very curious to see the hangover effect for
28:08
Speaker 2: some of these guys who have been partying since the
28:12
Speaker 2: game ended.
28:13
Speaker 6: You'll have to go back to work.
28:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, everybody was sports book there. There's some some getible
28:22
Speaker 4: numbers here.
28:22
Speaker 6: Green.
28:23
Speaker 5: You don't worry. We're gonna do the We're going to
28:24
Speaker 5: do the due diligence. And the imagery was just great
28:27
Speaker 5: of Jack. Cuse me speaking of the hangover Jack Hughes
28:29
Speaker 5: and the missing tooth. Now, it's a good reminder that
28:31
Speaker 5: all hockey teams, include the Milwaukee Animals, have great, great
28:34
Speaker 5: team Dennis on hand to always help out, but you always,
28:37
Speaker 5: you seem like having having a guy loses to just
28:40
Speaker 5: the imagery of hockey. It worked out perfectly.
28:44
Speaker 6: It really did.
28:45
Speaker 2: About that you lose a tooth and score the game
28:47
Speaker 2: winning goal, and you know the fact that you know
28:49
Speaker 2: he lost the tooth and basically didn't miss a chef.
28:53
Speaker 6: You know, just that's that's so hockey. That's exactly I saw.
29:00
Speaker 6: I saw somebody tweet out that.
29:02
Speaker 2: You know, Jack Hughes doesn't miss miss a shift for
29:04
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Tooth.
29:05
Speaker 6: That happens to Lebron. They've got pall bearers, and so
29:07
Speaker 6: it's just.
29:10
Speaker 3: It's that this is Anthony Davis instead. That is yeah,
29:15
Speaker 3: street close, street close. That that is the the analogy.
29:18
Speaker 3: And so the way hockey goes.
29:19
Speaker 4: You got a.
29:20
Speaker 3: Goalie stands on his head and still could have lost
29:22
Speaker 3: because of a fluke shot, right. You know, Jack Hu's
29:26
Speaker 3: also committed a penalty that could have cost him the gold.
29:28
Speaker 7: Medal, and he was worried about being on barstool. The
29:30
Speaker 7: next days he's saying here like, oh man, I'm gonna
29:32
Speaker 7: get clowned for the rest of my life for this one.
29:35
Speaker 6: Yeah.
29:36
Speaker 4: Oh incredible moments.
29:38
Speaker 7: Yeah, so Greeney this weekend, Armon and I are going
29:41
Speaker 7: to be there on Saturday night, Backyard Sports Night. I
29:44
Speaker 7: don't know that you understand the uh, the amount of
29:49
Speaker 7: nostalgia that I'm going to see and feel when I

Speaker 7: hold that Pablo Sanchez bobblehead that people can still get
29:56
Speaker 7: on the special ticket package Backyard Sports computer game. Kids
30:00

30:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were really excited for the opportunity to do this.

Speaker 2: out there in the late nineties. Well that's two thousands,
30:37
Speaker 2: and you know, so they you know, it's this thing
30:40
Speaker 2: is rapidly back on the upswing, a little bit retro,
30:43

30:46
Speaker 2: take a package with the Pablo Sanchez as an ADMIRLS
30:50
Speaker 2: player bobblehead that I saw it. That the head is gianormous.

36:42
Speaker 5: because I'm curious to know what you guys feel because
36:44
Speaker 5: people ask me now all the time. The number one
36:46
Speaker 5: thing we get asked now is what's it like being
36:49
Speaker 5: up in the morning this early? And what's it like,
36:51
Speaker 5: as Marcus and Iowa asked, getting off work every morning,
36:54
Speaker 5: like eight, is it like step brothers? There's so much
36:56
Speaker 5: time for activities.
36:57
Speaker 4: There's so much time for activity.
36:59
Speaker 5: It is a weird It is a weird feeling, right,
37:01
Speaker 5: being done at eight. I mean we always tell how
37:02
Speaker 5: this shew flies weird.
37:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm still adjusting a month and five. Yeah,
37:07
Speaker 4: you got it.
37:08
Speaker 5: There's an idea that you get. Yes, you get the
37:10
Speaker 5: time for activities, the days open, but also you're kind
37:13
Speaker 5: of you're kind of wiped at this early.
37:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, it doesn't. And I spend most of the
37:17
Speaker 3: day wandering around wondering when it's time to go to bed.
37:21
Speaker 5: I have I have.
37:22
Speaker 7: I have found myself Drew looking at the clock and
37:25
Speaker 7: not believing it every single time, whether I look at
37:28
Speaker 7: it and it says it's eleven in the in the morning,
37:30
Speaker 7: like it's gotten four in the afternoon forever, or I
37:33
Speaker 7: look at it and it's six o'clock at night and
37:35
Speaker 7: I'm like, damn, it's six o'clock already.
37:37
Speaker 4: I thought it was just three.
37:38
Speaker 7: So I've struggled with the with the timing of it
37:41
Speaker 7: one thousand percent. However, I just like, now I'm seeing
37:46
Speaker 7: right outside and I'm seeing the light, and I'm seeing
37:48
Speaker 7: some sunshine. I'm seeing the light at the end of
37:50
Speaker 7: the tunnel rolling through, and I'm really interested how daylight
37:54
Speaker 7: saving shifts this.
37:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, And that's what Drew, you're talking about in
37:57
Speaker 5: the summer as well when that happens, because it's gonna
38:00
Speaker 5: be tough going to bed when the sun's up, that's
38:03
Speaker 5: gonna be that's gonna be a different if you try
38:05
Speaker 5: to get to bed that early at least, which is
38:06
Speaker 5: you know something I.
38:08
Speaker 7: Want to Yeah, might might want to or especially since
38:11
Speaker 7: a certain individual doesn't decide that he is gonna nap anymore,
38:14
Speaker 7: our pal from down the hall in the news station,
38:17
Speaker 7: Benny says that he takes a nap every day the
38:20
Speaker 7: day and that's how he kind of he gets that
38:23
Speaker 7: sleep bank going.
38:24
Speaker 4: Have you been getting getting at all? Or try to
38:28
Speaker 4: power through?
38:28
Speaker 3: But then maybe on Fridays I should because you don't
38:31
Speaker 3: want to run out of gas on Friday night.
38:32
Speaker 5: The pends you're doing on the weekend. I try to,
38:34
Speaker 5: but the struggle is how long do you take that?
38:36
Speaker 3: That's and that's the thing to me is the Fridays
38:39
Speaker 3: and Saturdays are the tough part, Yes, trying to turn
38:42
Speaker 3: your clock upside down and then get back into the
38:43
Speaker 3: groove here, right.
38:44
Speaker 7: Although the interesting thing in the middle of Saturday afternoon,
38:47
Speaker 7: I found myself feeling like I get in a like
38:49
Speaker 7: a three day weekend because the because the show ends
38:52
Speaker 7: so early on.
38:53
Speaker 5: Friday, like having no class on Friday.
38:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, And all of a sudden, I sat there in
38:56
Speaker 7: the middle of Saturday and I'm like, damn, we're off tomorrow.
38:59
Speaker 4: That's a good fee. I thought I was about to
39:01
Speaker 4: have the Sunday Scaries on Saturday. It didn't happen.
39:03
Speaker 3: But then Saturday morning, you wake up at three forty
39:05
Speaker 3: five going all right, uh.
39:06
Speaker 4: That was a little bit different.
39:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, or that Sunday the looming specter of Sunday evening.
39:11
Speaker 4: Glad that they have bass fishing back on television. Let's go.
39:14
Speaker 4: I saw that that for five am.
39:16
Speaker 7: Was a nice thing to have, Like that was nice
39:18
Speaker 7: to be able to fire that up and have something
39:21
Speaker 7: that I.
39:21
Speaker 3: Was waiting good and peaceful. Yeah, Hey, Billy, what's our

40:37
Speaker 7: chocolate the chocolate bunny is a great touch in thought.
40:41
Speaker 7: Then you actually eating said chocolate bunny and it's hollow
