Charges at PGA Championship · Sports Exchange

0:22
Good evening everybody. I'll welcome to another edition of the Sports Exchange. My
0:25
name is Scott Morgan, Rock the Motor City Mad Mob. What a show
0:28
we got lined up tonight introduced the participants. Candy I Bling, welcome back
0:33
to the Big Show. Thanks Scott for having me. I know we changed
0:37
night a little bit. I'm glad to be able to see the Still the
0:40
regulars are on here. We'll be back a regular time next week. But
0:45
happy to be here. We doubt Joe Ellis welcome back. We got the
0:49
A team, we got Candy, and now you know we're gonna have a
0:52
good show. Oh I know, listen, don't kick your So this could
0:55
be the regular lineup with Candy. I always like having her on shows for
0:58
sure. You talk about one of the most intellectual individuals on a planet of
1:00
female wise and she can I'll smart males too. She knows a lot and
1:06
laugh and at least George Ekorn and I are the original creators of this show
1:10
the first place. So it's welcome back. Oh, it's good to be
1:12
back, Scott, Candy, JB. Great to have our group together.
1:17
Let's give it over view the topics real quick for at talk Hockey NHL Conference
1:21
Finals. We're going to talk about the Louisville Police and their behavior at the
1:25
PGA Championship last weekend Allo Racing Memorial Day. They go hand in and other
1:30
people might have a debate about what I think on this topic. This is
1:33
why, exactly why it is one so but that said, we're going to
1:36
lead her off here with the NHL Conference Finals, then talk about the last
1:38
time the Stanley they won a Stanley cop. Well, let's start off with
1:42
our beloved Florida Panthers. Guess what they've never won one? Oh my goodness.
1:47
The Edmonton Oilers, okay, nineteen ninety but they have five in their
1:51
pocket. The New York Rangers nineteen ninety four, they have four in their
1:55
pocket. And of course the Dallas Starts nineteen ninety nine, they have one
1:59
in their pocket. So, Candy, you know, what do you think
2:01
breaks gets off the skine this year? You know a lot of people thought
2:08
the Rangers it was going to be their year, and then look the Panthers
2:14
went in last night and beat them three nothing, very convincingly. It wasn't
2:19
you know. I I'm happy though that if you think about it, all
2:23
of these teams. None of them have won it in twenty four years,
2:28
so that's pretty cool because like that's not like your dynasty teams that's always in
2:31
there and always in there. So yes, Joshua, I know it was
2:36
only one game, but it does look promising. You know, I'm gonna
2:38
hope for the Panthers because I always hope for the team that's never done it
2:42
before. Okay, that's a fair all right, Joe. I think whoever
2:47
wins the Panthers against the Rangers is gonna win it all. You know,
2:52
I'm glad that the Rangers took out the Cane so we got rid of John
2:55
Shear's team. We don't have to hear him anymore. But I had enough
3:00
of the Rangers, even though they're the best team of the league this year.
3:02
You know, I'm an Islander fan. Get rid of the Rangers.
3:06
Let's go Panthers and we'll do what. You know, it's the South Florida
3:08
Tribute Show, so let's go Panthers. S. They're up one nothing,
3:10
let's win three more. Okay, all right, George, Well this is
3:16
really going to be interesting because you know, me, I try to search
3:21
for a Detroit connection, and here we go the Edmonton Oilers general manager none
3:25
other than Hall of Famer Kenny Holland the Dallas Stars general manager none other than
3:31
the Ken Holland protege, Jim nil. So we got two guys from Detroit
3:38
that are facing off in the Western Finals. The Oilers, oh my god,
3:43
long overdue, like you said, and the Stars, I mean,
3:46
you know they they've been on the cusp for years and years, but like
3:52
you mentioned, only one that one time in ninety nine, that series,
3:55
I'm going to pick, my my I'm going to pick the Oilers to win
3:59
that series in six games. Now going over to the Florida Panthers and New
4:04
York Rangers, that's an interesting series only because again both teams are really really
4:11
desperate for a win. We know how New Yorkers are, they want to
4:14
win it all always. And Florida, what can you say? I mean
4:18
again, they've had so many successful seasons, but they've never won. So
4:23
I'm going to go with Florida to win that series in six games. Also,
4:26
so to be at Florida over Edmonton, Yeah, you know, let's
4:30
go to Ralphia and it's gonna be a document if I'm taking the Rangers.
4:33
The Canucks and Hurricanes are out. At one point, I thought the Rangers
4:38
and the Canuts would be an interesting series, but obviously Vancouver didn't keep up
4:42
there under the bargain, the Rangers are still in it. You know what,
4:45
I've always thought to be objective and neutral. I'm going to stay that
4:47
way. But here's the situation. Let's just put the facts out as they
4:53
are. Okay, teams that generally come back after losing their first go around
4:59
and it come out hungry done. Next year, I'll be the guy that
5:03
gives the Detroit references this time. George ray Gorn, one of the Detroit
5:08
Pistons lost to the Los Angeles Lakers back in the Bad Boys era. They
5:12
came back and won a pair of titles. Let me take it a step
5:15
further. Okay, But that said, you've also have a situation where the
5:20
Red Wings lost to the New Devils and came back attacked there as well.
5:27
Now, if I played a logic of how I take a lot of these
5:30
go and I talked to Jessica Blaylock yesterday at the Marlin's in the Brewers game,
5:34
I just threw these packs out to her. At least a Pistons one
5:39
because she's a Panthers person, so maybe you know she's a good friend,
5:43
she covers the team. I get it. I'm just throwing it out there.
5:46
So who do I think? Well, I think the Panthers are a
5:49
logical choice, base on what I just said. Dallas. I would love
5:54
to see a Dallas. Florida would be like Dallas and Miami and all.
6:00
So, you know, but I think Florida, if they keep playing as
6:01
well as they are, it's pretty hard to go against the team that resides
6:06
in Sunrise. And Ralph Williams says in the West, he lakes Dallas.
6:10
So I'm going to go Florida and Dallas in the final. I actually saw
6:15
these two teams play during the COVID nineteen year. They played a lot.
6:18
But you know, Matthew Kachuck's a pretty great player, and it's hard to
6:23
go against a guy like Sergey Bbroski who continues to play excellent postseason hockey.
6:28
So I guess you can say it's unanimous here, all right. Last week
6:31
at the PGA Championship was not a good scene. Louisville police say charges against
6:38
Donnie Scheffler won't be dropped. Detective Brian Gillis, didn't have a body didn't
6:43
have his body warned camera on, and it wasn't ready, and Scheffler ended
6:47
up being facing four charges second degree assault of an officer directing traffic, which
6:54
is the filony, along with three other charges. All Right, you know
6:57
what, Joe, this is a debacle and Louisville and this is not a
7:00
good look on the city of Louisville at all. I don't like any of
7:04
what I see here. You know what, it's not surprising. I mean,
7:10
he was directing traffic, he did have a body camera on. Body
7:15
camera. It's not as if he was, you know, arresting somebody just
7:18
to arrest them. I'm sure. You know, there are some pro athletes
7:25
that think who they are and you know, I don't know Scotti Scheffler.
7:29
I know a lot of pro athletes, former and current for what we do,
7:33
and there's a small percentage that have egos that are up there, and
7:41
you know, maybe he's in that category. But you know, to direct
7:44
traffic and have a body came on, I don't think that, you know,
7:47
it makes the Louisville police look bad because he did have his body camera
7:50
on. Do I think it's a bad look for everybody evolved, Yes,
7:55
because obviously you know right now, he's the best golfer in the game,
8:01
and no matter what happened, his image is tartished. The Louisville police image
8:07
is tartished because they didn't recognize who he was and diffuse the situation before it
8:13
got there. You know, it's part of your job when you're a police
8:16
officer to know the situation. That to me is the bigger problem. And
8:20
you know, Scottie Scheffler's gotta gotta know better. You know, you're you're
8:24
a citizen. When you're not on the golf course, you're just like anybody
8:28
else. So you know, nobody knows what happened there because there's no footage
8:31
of it. But either way, everybody looks bad, you know, and
8:35
we'll never know exactly what happened because there's no recording of it. But I
8:39
don't think that's a big deal because you know, it was a traffic directing
8:43
traffic. Okay, let's go the chat room. Josh, the door spit
8:48
up for Candy Hunches, put him up, and Georgia, well, now
8:50
he's got five, all right, all right. Louisville Police Department is an
8:56
embarrassment not dropping charges and their press conference today was a joke, Joshua.
9:03
The video of the assault was nothing at all. Scotty is a class act
9:09
and Scotty didn't even drop his name to the cops. The cop, in
9:13
your opinion, is a fool. Footage came out today and it showed absolutely
9:18
nothing almost that he thinks. Okay, Candy talking about it, what do
9:24
you think it's not? JB. I know there's no footage from the officer
9:31
himself, but there are some other security camera footage available to the police and
9:37
if they want to use it, or if Scotty's defense team months to use
9:41
it. I got I got into a situation once at Wayne State University were
9:48
something not as serious as this happened, but actually a guard at the parking
9:54
deck grabbed onto my bumper trying to stop me, and she fell and she
9:58
slipped on ice and fell. Now this brought back memories for me, and
10:03
I haven't really shared this with anybody publicly maybe, but the fact of the
10:09
matter is is you do have to stop. You do have to stop if
10:11
you see something like that happening. It's now I say, if the person's
10:16
in authority as the parking attendant. Lady was a person of authority in my
10:20
situation. The policeman was the position of authority for Scotti's. I think he
10:26
probably just panicked more than anything. He probably felt that I don't buy the
10:31
stuff that, oh I'm privileged and I'm number one golfer in the world,
10:33
none of that crap. I believe he felt that he had the right to
10:37
go forward, to go into the country club. This is real early he
10:43
showed up at six in the morning. The accident happened sometimes between five and
10:46
five thirty, I believe where the man was killed. So it was a
10:50
tense situation. The police were up fight, everybody was uptight. It was
10:54
a crime scene. There's a lot involved in what happened here. I don't
10:58
know. I think I still want things to play out. I'm not sure
11:01
who's that fault, and I'm I don't want Scotty to be jail, but
11:05
hey, I mean, this is something that's got to get straightened out.
11:09
But you know, it's it's a I can see both parties being a little
11:13
at fault here, but I want to I'm just gonna let it play out,
11:16
all right, Well, let's play it out in chatting room, Joshua
11:18
dor says the cops got dragged by the car. Scotty stopped. Oh yeah,
11:24
I'd rather read it that like dragged by the car. Scotty stopped the
11:26
second the cop went into the window. Okay, keep it going, Candy,
11:33
Okay, George, keep reading. Yeah yeah, he stopped as soon
11:35
as he was ordered to though, Okay. And then Robert, thanks Robert.
11:41
Scotty just needs to send them some Crispy creams and I'm sure they will
11:46
drop the churches. You know, Robert's always got good stuff. I like
11:48
this, Robert. And then Joshua again, Scotty did nothing wrong and that
11:54
is fine, insane if they let it go to trial, all right,
11:56
Candy take over from that point. So let's face it, it's he said
12:03
against he said, I'm going to bring up George, just like you said
12:07
you had brought up something. Scott. I don't know if you remember.
12:11
We were at a different venue and we were trying to maneuver around driving through
12:20
traffic and not not traffic on the road, but trying to find a parking
12:26
spot at a venue that had all kinds of parking around. And at one
12:31
point we turned and a cop started yelling at us and then came on our
12:39
hood and started oh yeah, yeah, well I'll let you know with Talladega.
12:46
Oh, I wasn't gonna say necessarily, I don't mind saying Talladega,
12:48
and I gotten a few words over there going and so it brought this is
12:54
bringing this to my mind as well, and it's like, sometimes, yes,
12:58
we're we have we're taught to and we should respect authority. And obviously
13:05
the police are authority, but there's also a point where they need to how
13:11
should I say, I mean they were at Talladega, they were pushing on
13:16
our hood. We thought they could do damage to our car, and well
13:20
they took it to a different level, is what I'm saying. And so
13:22
maybe this cop is taking this to a different level than he shouldn't have do
13:28
I know for sure? Obviously not, But I can tell you that there
13:33
are a lot of times when there's accidents you have to maneuver to not not
13:41
get in the way trying to get around. Obviously, Scotty was trying to
13:46
get to the course so he could prep and stuff like that, and his
13:50
normal course was obviously blocked due to the accident. Now were they directing everybody.
13:58
Were they directing the players for. I don't know because I haven't watched
14:01
that video, But do I think this cop took it too far? I
14:05
think so holding for him to be holding onto a window and then thinking he
14:11
was getting dragged, well, I don't know, I have a hard and
14:15
then he's saying that his uniform got dirty. Okay, so you weren't dragged
14:20
that far. He wasn't going that fast. Sometimes both parties exaggerate to better
14:31
their story, probably and to make their point look better. Do hopefully the
14:37
truth will come out whether now as I read it, Scotty Scheffler, actually
14:43
one of the charges is a felony. Now, a felony goes on your
14:48
record, and that is a pretty strong charge. I mean, that holds
14:52
a stiff penalty that you've got to disclose if you'd ever go for a job
14:56
any place like that's pretty harsh. So, yeah, it'll be interesting to
15:01
see how this whole thing plays out, and if more camera feeds come out
15:05
and we see more of what actually happened. Yeah, well, number one,
15:09
I'll go back to the Talladega to cop their ll for step his bounds.
15:13
And sometimes cops think that they can't overstep their bound because they got the
15:18
badge so and then bounce on the car like that. Luckily nothing did get
15:20
damaged, or I would have suit Talladega anyways, but never got to that
15:24
point. Secondly, you know Scheffler call it a chaotic misunderstanding, Well,
15:31
that's putting it lightly. But in the to me, the reality is,
15:35
I don't think this is gonna This is a bad look, but it's gonna
15:39
get washed pretty quick. It really will once the attorneys get involved. So
15:43
Scotty Scheffler claims he uses jail cell to go out there and exercise stretch,
15:50
and I guess he got a ride by the country club owner to get there.
15:54
So yeah, I don't think in the end nothing's going to come of
15:58
this. I really don't. I still think it's a bad look though on
16:03
Louisville, knowing that this incident is there because the PGA will wonder do I
16:07
really want to come back here again in light of the bad publicity? Ended
16:11
up getting that. Sometimes when you have a bad look, you know,
16:15
you begin to think do you want to go back here again? In light
16:18
of all that? So that's the one thing most people don't understand. Let's
16:22
go back to the chat room. I want to continue on with what I
16:23
have to say. Though we know about the Krispy Kreme donuts. I could
16:27
use a few of those out, but I'd hate to see what my meter
16:30
would run. Scotty did nothing wrong in had his final al Right, tell
16:34
me how you really feel and say, look, they let it go to
16:37
trial. Scotty was such danger to society. Why would they let him go
16:41
out so quickly? Well, John, there's a lot of reasons. We
16:44
don't have enough show to get into that. That just shows that the cops
16:47
through Scotti an elite number one golfer. Imagine if it was a regular Joe
16:52
Cops on an ego, I might see a little truth to that. Maybe
16:56
sometime in a holding cell is a secret. He shot five under right away
17:00
after I believe. I don't know, but all right, you didn't have
17:03
a bad round, so you can't say cops need to be all right.
17:07
You're going quick there, so I'll let you just want to be all right,
17:11
go on such a reach all right? Well, so with that said,
17:14
I'll continue on. You know, the number one player in jail not
17:18
a good look. Community golf know nothing, chaotic misunderstanding the guy got dragged.
17:25
Don't put your hand through a stupid window, pal, What do you
17:27
expect is going to happen? You know, if you get caught, you
17:30
know, you know, and I don't know. I'd look at that two
17:34
different ways. If you know something like that could happen, just don't put
17:38
your hand through a window where you could get dragged. But Scott, listen,
17:44
it goes two ways. If you know what Joshua was saying at the
17:47
cop wasn't dragged. He needs to be prosecuted, you know, because that
17:52
you know, that's wrong on so many levels. And if the video comes
17:55
out then he was dragged that you know, it's the other way. It's
18:00
one or the other. And if there's video footage that can prove what happened,
18:04
you know, whoever's telling the truth the opposite party deserves the full extent
18:10
of the law because you know that there's no there's no excuse for it.
18:15
You know, if you're a cop and you put anybody in a situation where
18:18
you say they they did something and they didn't do it, you know,
18:22
you're taking the chance of ruining their life and career. That's definitely not cool.
18:26
And if you're and if it's the opposite that he did drag him.
18:30
You know that that's obviously against the law. So it's one way or the
18:33
other, there's no one between. I agree, But you just said one
18:37
word, which I think is a keyword. Joh, you know what that
18:38
is? Yeah, so you're not the One thing I don't like about today's
18:44
modern media is this? Okay? And I remember it wasn't it the Duke
18:48
lacrosse team that got dragged through the woods there with all the premature stuff.
18:52
Haven't we ever learned that innocent until proven guilty until due process is done?
18:56
You know? Public part of public thing was a disaster, and a lot
19:02
of people go ahead. One thing. The one thing I would say,
19:06
though, is I do believe the cop was suspended or reprimanded because he was
19:11
supposed to have the camera on and he did so that's part of his job.
19:18
I'm just saying that's part of his job. If part of his job
19:21
is to have the camera on, he should have had the camera on.
19:23
Well, I agree, I mean they did. They did talk to him
19:26
like any manager would and say he made a mistake, he shouldn't do it
19:30
again. Okay, that's what they did to him. Okay, Scheffler,
19:34
well, his attorneys will get him out of it all day long, anyways,
19:37
I know they will. I mean, come on, O Jay simply
19:40
got away Scott free right when he have great attorneys, and we like to
19:45
bring up Oja once in a while. So if OJ can get away with
19:48
those killings, you know, I mean, it's not like Scheffler killed the
19:51
person before. He was just trying to get to work. That's what he
19:55
was trying to do, and went ahead and decided to take his way instead
19:57
of the other way. That's all I'm saying. But again, Joe,
20:02
I reiterate the word if, and I go back to the Duke situation where
20:07
you know, now, if, for some reason or another, the video
20:11
shows that he did that, well you have a different argument altogether. You
20:15
really do, because now with visual we can all see it, and it's
20:18
pretty hard to argue against video anymore than what we saw many years ago.
20:22
Was Ray Rice. Okay, his career ended when he obviously had that incident
20:26
with his girlfriend and that elevator. How are you going to get back in
20:30
the league when they all saw it and it's all over the place. So
20:33
when you have video in this day and age can come from an iPhone five,
20:37
you know, at fifteen or whatever, you can't argue it. That's
20:41
why I just stay out of the way where nobody can bother me. But
20:45
you know, sometimes these things come up and they can use against you these
20:48
days. But no, I appreciate what he's thinking, Joe, I really
20:52
do the word. If I don't have a problem against discipline, okay,
20:56
but you have to let it play out in the legal system. It's all
20:59
I'm saying. I love this topic. It's a great debate, and we
21:02
know Joshua Door was fueled by it when he got his wish and he got
21:04
Hockey Gulf on the same show. And normally don't do it. But to
21:07
be honest with you, it really is hard to avoid these two particular topics
21:11
anymore or less, and then it's hard to enjoy the next one I have
21:15
to talk about before I do. Though, Katy, we have a station
21:18
break. Go ahead if you see up in this corner. Over here there
21:25
is a copy of Scott's book Lessons from the Microphone Tuning in the Enduring Wisdom
21:30
of Visionary Leaders. He wrote this about his forty plus years in the media
21:33

thank you, and oilers up to nothing. Nowy, I go back to
22:52
that one of Joshua didn't above Candy, and I want to go back to
22:56
this really quick. Scotty didn't. He was a cop, he had a
23:00
raincoat, and Bange wasn't a visible Scotty said he didn't even realize just there
23:06
was a traffic control. All right, Well, maybe that is the case.
23:08
But josh I think we spend enough time on this. We'll see how
23:12
it all plays out for sure. And again, I'm not wanting to go
23:15
out there and press a guilty charge on the right away. I believe that
23:18
we have to see it through the legal system. Final topic, but that
23:22
doesn't mean we won't stop if certain people have party shots, which it looks
23:25
like we're apparently on track to have auto racing in my opinion owns Memorial Day
23:30
weekend. Why would I say that it doesn't hurt that I went to a
23:33
couple of Indy five hundreds, Okay, and I also take a route right
23:37
along over at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. But they're the home of the Indy
23:41
five hundred and the Coca Cola six hundred and they dominate the Sunday broadcasting.
23:45
So, Katie, do you agree with me that auto racing owns Memorial Day
23:49
weekend. I don't know if it owns it, but yes, it's one
23:55
of the big weekends that it does. I do want to say that I
23:59
think it's pretty cool what NASCAR is doing this Sunday. On each of the
24:06
cars in the Coca Cola in Sunday's Coca Cola six hundred, it will feature
24:12
the name of a fallen service member on the windshield. And they're also doing
24:18
some other special events. They're also kicking out a new thirty second television spot
24:22
that debuted the talks about, you know, kick NASCAR's salutes. Together with
24:29
Coca Cola. They're also giving a discount to people from the military. The
24:36
one thing I will say is that I think sometimes Memorial Day gets forgotten what
24:41
what the true meaning of it is. We all think of it, Oh,
24:44
it's a day off. Hey, I get, I get, you
24:45
know, an extra weekend day. But you know, there's people out there
24:49
that served our country for this, this honor for this day, and I
24:52
think we sometimes forget that. And auto racing maybe this is a small part
24:57
of going back to recognizing what the true day and true meaning of the day
25:03
is. All right, George, you were Lee and I went to our
25:07
Indy five hundred together. Would you agree or disagree that all racing owned Memorial
25:11
Day weekend? Oh? I have to agree, Scott, one hundred percent.
25:15
It's just a fantastic set of races. And for F one fans don't
25:21
forget their premier race in Monaco. Is this weekend one of the most famous
25:26
stops on their circuit for F one, But the Charlotte six hundred in the
25:30
evening and of course the Indy five hundred during the daytime. And you got
25:37
so much pomp and pageantry in both of those events. And the Indy five
25:42
hundred, of course, is very cognizant of the fact that it's Memorial Day.
25:47
They play taps. They play taps as one of the ceremonial items in
25:52
the Indiana back Home again in the end of the song. That has nothing
25:56
nothing to do with the military. But there's a lot of tradiation with both
26:02
those races. I like the way they're separated too, although rain could get
26:07
it really in the way this Sunday I heard the forecast is not good for
26:11
Indianapolis, but let's hope and pray it passes by somehow. But these are
26:15
great races. They're really great. You guy, guy like Roger Penske from
26:19
Detroit, He's got teams at the Indy five hundred he's got to follow,
26:23
and then he's got guys driving for him at NASCAR the Sprint Cup Series of
26:29
the evening at the Coca Cola six hundred. I mean, you know,
26:32
Roger is Team Pensky has done a fantastic job, as you guys know,
26:36
especially at Indy. But yeah, it's a great, great excitement day for
26:41
anybody that likes motorsports. And I'm one of those. And like you said,
26:45
Sky, we've had the privilege of covering that race together at one time,
26:48
and what a great experience we both had on that. So yeah,
26:52
and I saw Mis has hosted NASCAR. I've been there for NASCAR races,
26:56
but never been to Charlotte. You know, what do you think, Joe
27:02
Listen? I mean, these are phenomenal races. I'm not a big car
27:07
racing fed, but you know, you always think of Memorial Day with the
27:11
Indianapolis five hundred. Yeah, and NASCAR always has a huge event the Sunday
27:18
of at night, which is phenomenal. It's great to see. It's a
27:22
great tradition. I agree with Candy. Uh. You know, Memorial Day,
27:26
the reason is forgotten a lot and way too much. You know,
27:30
it's a shame in our society that we can't take one day to honor those
27:34
that have given their life of service so that we can have everything that we
27:37
have. You know, that's way more important. But phenomenal races that I
27:41
mean, you know, if you're gonna sit a watch a race, can't
27:45
can't pick any two better than those two to sit a watch, you know.
27:49
But it'll be interesting to see what happens. But I think the NBA
27:52
Playoffs was the world that we could. Yeah, well i'll tell you what,
27:56
John mind. You brought the NBA playoffs up. Can you imagine this?
27:59
Though? The Indiana Pacers and Georgian and I've dealt with this a long
28:03
time ago. You really over, Joe, you're really really dead. Well,
28:07
if you've ever been to Indianapolis when the Indie five hundred is going on
28:11
in the Indiana Pacers are in the playoffs, we saw games at the Old
28:15
Market Square, you know, Indianapolis was by far and away the sports capital
28:19
of the world when you got them Bolt in the same weekend we saw the
28:23
Magic and I think we saw the Knicks play there in separate years, or
28:26
at least I think it was unbelievable. So yeah, you're right, Joe.
28:30
You know you never forget the NBA Playoffs on the weekend. But let's
28:33
face reality. I've been to to Indy five hundreds in Georgia and I went
28:38
to the US five hundred when you had that big cart split where we had
28:42
all the better drivers at our venue at mis and it was unable. So
28:47
I was for us to cover three of those races, and I had my
28:49
opportunity to get my fix of Charlotte when Candy was a little nervous that I
28:53
decided to take a right wrong and that on that track with one of those
28:59
open wheels. Why she is you know, I tend to make my Candy
29:03
a little bit nervous from time to time with some of the things I go
29:06
up out doing. But really his situation is now Memorial Day owns auto racing
29:14
and I can't really doubt it. I've been a part of it. So
29:17
Scott, just to be perfectly clear on Memorial Day on Monday, the Celtics
29:23
do play Indiana in Indiana. There you go, yeah, yeah, well
29:30
what hockey playoffs too? So right now it's hockey playoffs, it's NBA playoffs,
29:34
the baseball season and then baseball, I mean, and then auto racing.
29:40
So if you can't find something to watch, if you're not into sports
29:42
this weekend, I mean, you've got it all. Well, I'm always
29:47
liked Jim Neighbors singing at home and yeah, Florence Henderson was at the parade.
29:52
If you go to the parade and the race, now we can ask
29:56
some believe that Florence Henderson was a big part of it. Jim Nighbors.
30:00
It's unbelievable. So but yeah, there you go. This topic does run
30:04
full circle. You have the India Conference Finals in Indianapolis, and the day
30:10
before you have the Indy five hundred. So I mean, and you know,
30:12
I love the Indianapolis Motor Speedway so much. I went into the museum.
30:17
I'd walk around just all day just seeing all the different turns. It's
30:21
just such an unbelievable place. If you have an opinion the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
30:26
or a track, you gotta go. People have asked me, why what
30:27
once you go to the Kentucky Derby. I wouldn't mind going there, but
30:30
my only issue is I wait all day to go through all the glamour and
30:34
the glitz for a three minute horse rates and that's it. So now you
30:40
see it, now you don't. But I'm not saying I wouldn't go to
30:42
a Kentucky Derby. But the Indianapolis five hundred does last a bit longer.
30:49
It sure does, and it's just so exciting. As you said, Scott,
30:55
hey, you know the infield, they've got a per service. If
30:57
it's a Sunday you want to go in and say a few prayers. They
31:00
got a church service that's open the drivers obviously some of them go. And
31:06
then, of course, like you mentioned, Jim Nighbors got rest his soul,
31:08
but what a great job he did. And Florence Henderson. And how
31:12
about a salute to our friend a couple of guys, Scott, Jim McKay
31:18
and remember Chris Kana Mackie. Those two guys. To me, Jim was
31:22
the perfect host up in the tower. And of course Chris Acona Mackey got
31:26
grease under his fingernail, so to speak in the pits. What a great
31:30
When ABC started that broadcast, you knew you were in good shape with those
31:34
guys behind the microphone. Salute to them too. Well, let me ask
31:38
you a question, George, Really, this is the year twenty twenty four.
31:41
Nothing against Jim McKay or Chris Econn o'mackey. How many people gonna know
31:47
about him? Now? If you say that David Letterman, you know,
31:51
because I know he's an Indiana guy too. That been there is another story.
31:55
But yeah, I mean I remember Chris econ o'macky and I remember when
31:59
it was tape before they began making it live right right, Yeah, yeah,
32:02
ABC had a show in a package. Yeah, they couldn't show at
32:07
the time frame that the race was actually on, you know. Finally they
32:10
got that to be settled by they. Oh and then how about gentlemen start
32:15
your engine you know, and at every race now, but it used to
32:21
be something special when obviously, uh, Tony Holman and those guys his family.
32:29
Yeah, well that's true with David Letterman is a big Indiana guy,
32:31
so yes, and he owner of that one team, yeah, yep,
32:37
I remember, yeah, yeah, but Christy Connell Matthew was great Jimmy Kay.
32:40
We all know what an iconic broadcast of the Guy is for sure,
32:44
so yeah, you know. But again, the whole base of topic is
32:46
I've always loved auto racing around there. I have a passion for it.
32:51
I've been to my fair share of race track not all of them, you
32:52
know, but you know, when I think of the race tracks that I've
32:55
been to, I've been to Phoenix before, and of course I love going
32:59
to Sea Ring though it's not a sanctioned Old Daytona. I've been there,
33:01
Indianapolis, mis been down to Martin Zella, had a little bit of fun
33:07
down there. And let's see what other ones. Ever been to Bristol And
33:13
I'm trying to think of a few other ones that stand on. So for
33:15
those, Charlotte too, Yeah, I brought that one up. So seven
33:20
eight nine tracks, I'm probably going to more of them when the situation and
33:23
Talladego is fun, you know, And when my man Russell Brandon was running
33:29
the show was even better. Now he's got little miss Muffet out there,
33:32
so I won't get into her name, but that's beside the point. I
33:36
want to know little Miss Muffett. Then we'll go back to my articles on
33:38
software to me dot com and maybe you'll get a glimpse, but I'm not
33:43
going to go any details in that. So so with that said, well,
33:46
now that we are completed the Big Three, all right, can anything
33:50
you want to talk about? Well? I want to give kudos and good
33:55
luck to the Milwaukee Admirals. They are trying to go for the Calder Cup.
34:01
They are right now. They last night won Game three of the AHL
34:07
Central Division Final. It's a best of five series and they lead the Griffins
34:15
Grand Rapids Grand Rapids Griffins two games to one, So good luck to them.
34:22
I hope they take it. See see, Joshua, I can do
34:25
hockey and not just NHL. We're gonna do a little AHL. I feel
34:31
like this is a bad candy shot against George, I really do. All
34:37
right. Well for that, I'm gonna say dog check. Yeah, all
34:42
right, go ahead, George. Well my story is a little sad.
34:47
About six days ago we lost the young man named Mark Wells. Mark Wells
34:52
of Team USA and the Miracle on ice from Lake Placid in February of nineteen
34:58
eighty, my greatest sport event that I've ever covered. I had the privilege
35:01
to luckily win tickets through the official lottery system, if you will, for
35:08
Lake Placid, where you had to pick your events you would like to see
35:13
and send the money in ahead of time, not knowing what you were going
35:15
to get. Well, I got two hockey games. One was earlier in
35:20
the week, but the one that was the big eie was of course the
35:22
USA against the Soviet Union. And obviously, without saying that's the biggest event
35:28
I've ever been to. A miracle for me and Miguel, and a miracle,
35:32
I said inside Lake Placid Arena. You know, folks, that only
35:37
held about eleven thousand fans. It was not very big, So to be
35:42
able to say you were there is quite an accomplishment. I know, Joe
35:45
Falls, the late Joe Falls, was there covering it for the Detroit News.
35:50
But Scott, you remember this the Ron Cameron show which you were producing.
35:55
This guy wanted me to give reports during the game, so I did.
36:00
But folks, there's no cell phone during that time frame nineteen eighty I
36:06
had to go out and try to find a payphone to phone these reports back
36:09
to this sportscaster that Scott and I worked for a one time. Ron Cameron
36:15
on ABC's w x y Z radio. So it was I mean, yeah,
36:20
I was there as a fan, but then I had to put take
36:22
the fan hat off and put the reporting uh you know, face on to
36:29
give those reports back to the studio in Southfield, Michigan. So but Mark
36:32
Wells, God rest your soul, buddy. You had a very up and
36:36
down life. A lot of I know, injuries and operations and personal issues
36:42
you dealt with. But we're proud of you being from Michigan, Mark,
36:45
and the Saint Clair Shorts Arena is still named after you. So rest in
36:49
peace, my friend. I was actually at the station when you phone in
36:53
those reports. Actually pretty yeah, so I remember all too well, All
36:58
right, go ahead, Joe, what's on your mind? So anyone that
37:01
thinks the NBA Playoffs has fixed or the NBA has fixed in any way,
37:07
this week just proved why it's not. The Denver Nuggets lost in the conference
37:13
semi finals, the defending champion and the biggest market in the league. The
37:19
Knicks, who were finally good again lost to the Pacers, who no one
37:22
expected that, you know. So it's really good to see unexpected outcomes and
37:30
there's no way to think something like that would be fixed because the NBA is
37:32
losing a ton of money by having the Pacers and losing the Nuggets. You
37:38
know, both teams this week. So it just goes to show you anything
37:43
can happen in the playoffs, and you know, good for both those teams.
37:46
I want to send any special shout out to my long, my good
37:51
friend Dan Edwards. He's being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
37:55
This is only your second year they've had the honor for top PR people.
38:00
Harvey Green, I believe, is also going in there as well. I
38:02
don't know who the other ones are, but Dan is the main focus of
38:06
what I want to talk about. That's been about eighteen nineteen minutes on the
38:09
phone with Dan, and I actually mentioned him in my book Lessons from the
38:14
Microphone. You will not find a nicer person than Dan Edwards. Who's more
38:20
professional in the media PR than this guy. You know, even when I
38:25
started the South Florida Tribune, I still wanted to remain in the NFL.
38:30
I work with them monitors at Dan. I'm going I just started my own
38:34
company. Will you still give me passes to cover the Jaguars? And you
38:37
know what, no, Josh, I don't think he will. I think
38:40
he's a little bit too low key to come on that show. But you
38:44
know what, Dan took bet on me. You know what I'm going to
38:47
I want to see how you do on this and he said, I trust
38:51
you, Scott. You've always been there, You've always had got a good
38:53
work, and I will let you continue to cover the Jaguars even under your
38:58
new business. Well, I had an opportunity the other day. Candy was
39:01
there on the call listening to it on Speak your Phone, and when I
39:06
told Dan what we've done here creating a good broadcasting network as well as the
39:10
writing partner Dan Candy, how do you think he reacted based on what we've
39:16
done. He was proud of you. I mean he said that he gave
39:22
you a kudos because it's not easy to do what you're doing in this market
39:28
in today's day and age. So he gave you a lot of props.
39:32
Yeah. And what was so good about the whole thing, too, is
39:37
that you know, Dan to me is a guy that again I he's one
39:43
of the nicest people you'll ever ever meet. And you know, it just
39:46
shows you the one thing that I mentioned in my book. Lesson from the
39:51
microphone is the value of having good relationships and when you have great relationship both
39:57
keyness is a guy of a good relationship with the t right Mike Murray and
40:00
chip Amias. But when I told Dan you're in the book, you know
40:04
you can take this honor to go along with the other. So I do
40:07
take it as an honor. Well, I mean you deserved it anyways,
40:09
Dan, because you know when you treat me like you do, and then
40:13
you know, and then he was giving me some ideas of what today's media
40:15
pr people are like. But he he bet on me, and you know,
40:20
I'm proud of him forgetting in the Hall of Fame that was next to
40:22
him to go out there and say the kind words that he did. And
40:25
now I got a pretty interesting one for you, Joe. Oh this really
40:30
is Oh my gosh, I can't believe that Josh was bringing this one up.
40:34
Question it for JB. Do you do any shows with a will Vogel?
40:37
No? I do not. Oh my gosh. Do you care to
40:43
elaborate? No? I do not. You don't have to because your voice
40:51
expression probably didn't. We got a smile out of Elis out it too.
40:58
Man, I don't know. All right, Well Scientist Rocket Scientists says,
41:02
sorry for the late starter. A tornado hit my town yesterday and I've been
41:07
cleaning up the house. Well, we're sorry that the weather took a board
41:10
such a hard turn, and we hope that everybody's okay. Hope you're okay.
41:16
But yeah, and now Joshua Joshua Door, okay, you know,
41:22
and I came in the nickname, but he was too sensitive to handle it.
41:24
But Joshua Door, when he's ruthless, he's ruthless. All you have
41:28
to do is that Christener. But I gave we'll Vogo the name pogo stick,
41:32
and it looks like Joshua Door serves to keep the legend of the name
41:36
pogo Stick alive. No figure. All right, Well, hey listen,
41:40

43:15
Here's a little quiz. You're gonna have to decide which picture do you think
43:19

46:14
more details. But if you want to advertise or sponsor a show, call
46:20
Scott nine five four three oh four four nine one. If you want to
46:23
read his writings for self order Tribune. You can go to our website or
46:29
if you want more in depth talking about his time in the media, how
46:35
media has changed over the years. He wrote this book, Lessons from the
46:37
Microphone, Tuning into the enduring wisdom of Visionary Leaders. George did write the
46:43
forward on it. There's pictures in there. Go get the book Amazon,
46:47
Kindle, Barnes and Noble, Apple or Google Books. Audio book will be
46:52
coming out as soon as we get it done. It is. We're working
46:58
on it. We're working and I know, joh I know why I beat
47:01
you to the punch. Ins said, yeah, no, that audio books
47:07
will be good. He's remember I am a literate I can hardly tell Joshua,
47:10
don't sell yourself short with the stuff you're putting in here. So now,
47:14
Joshua Door, you know, and Blake Lozinsky, Duncan Lowzinsky. A
47:19
lot of these guys that come in the chatroom, they're unbelievable. I enjoyed
47:22
the FaceTime calls all the time. These guys are well you know it or
47:24
not. They're really a big help to Joe because they come up with ideas
47:28
that I don't see, or they come up with ideas and you know,
47:30
I think what they're starting. This group is doing this. They're starting to
47:35
come up with even better questions in the chatroom that only answered our show.
47:37
And I love what Joshua dor says addition to featuring the Roads of Jacob.
47:44
You know what, Joshua, I can't say that I would rule that out.
47:46
I mean, it's certainly something that will be considered because that was the
47:50
show that certainly, you know, we talked about the Iowa player being overweight
47:54
and it did attract a lot of attention. But I'll make that decision later
47:59
in the year. I'm not going to decisions now, but there I will
48:01
be doing that book because I feel there are some updates that we'll get into
48:07
later on the NBA getting a new contract work and bring it up tonight.
48:09
I want more information before I bring up not on topics, and I do
48:14
want to mention this before I call it a night. There are times out
48:16
there the topics could be brought up immediately, but I do tend to wait
48:21
a week or so, there may be even two until I get more facts
48:25
out before I'm willing to jump the gun on them. So for those of
48:29
you who wonder, why don't you bring this up right away. Let me
48:31
get more facts. They'll ultimately get on. But I don't like to do
48:35
anything just because I'll take it sounds good, and all of a sudden,
48:38
so many things changed and I have to write talk and write retractions. I
48:42
just don't do that. I've never done it and I never will. So
48:45
but then it is. But that said, I want to thank everybody for
48:47
joining us on this edition of the Sports Machine. Great job by my crew,
48:51
Candy, I'm blaying, George ichordn, Jamie Ellis as always, and
48:54
myself, well, I'm just glad to be part of such an incredible crew
48:59
and network. So that I said, thank you very much for joining us,
49:00

49:04
next week. Guess you're happy Memorial Day, and thank you to all the
