- 0:03Speaker 1: Good morning from a wta W newsroom. I'm Jeanette Minshaw.
- 0:06Speaker 1: The City of College Station has reached the highest financial
- 0:09Speaker 1: status awarded by Moody's.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Mooty is a.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Global credit rating agency that assesses the financial health and
- 0:15Speaker 1: credit worthiness of borrowers, governments, and corporations. It helps investors
- 0:20Speaker 1: evaluate the risk of a debt obligation. Their Triple A
- 0:23Speaker 1: rating is the highest tier, and obligations are judged to
- 0:26Speaker 1: be of the highest quality subject to the lowest level
- 0:29Speaker 1: of credit risk. Here's Bob Yancey from last night's city
- 0:32Speaker 1: council meeting.
- 0:33Speaker 3: We did it yesterday. They did it, and I want
- 0:36Speaker 3: to congratulate the city manager, the finance team, the executive
- 0:40Speaker 3: corps that I know put so much work into that,
- 0:44Speaker 3: or the taxpayer. What does that mean? You're going to
- 0:46Speaker 3: say five to fifteen basis points on every bond issuance
- 0:51Speaker 3: from now on.
- 0:52Speaker 1: College Station is now only one of twelve cities in
- 0:55Speaker 1: Texas to have their premier rating. The College Station City
- 0:59Speaker 1: Council met for nearly three hours last night. The majority
- 1:02Speaker 1: of the evening was spent on the presentation and discussion
- 1:05Speaker 1: of incentives to increase housing density. The council hoped to
- 1:09Speaker 1: make an impact that would allow for more people to
- 1:11Speaker 1: own homes within the city.
- 1:12Speaker 4: Once you break really beyond into triplexes and onward, you're
- 1:18Speaker 4: talking less home ownership opportunities necessarily, So that's kind of
- 1:22Speaker 4: that rub there. But middle housing go up to twelve
- 1:26Speaker 4: units in a structure.
- 1:27Speaker 1: The council settled in on the idea of town homes.
- 1:30Speaker 5: So if we're offering incentives to build the types of
- 1:34Speaker 5: product that we want to see in middle housing, then
- 1:37Speaker 5: it may spur that happening more quickly.
- 1:40Speaker 3: And to you, that product is town homes.
- 1:43Speaker 5: Usually is townhomes.
- 1:45Speaker 1: What was decided upon is a pilot program to encourage
- 1:47Speaker 1: townhome development. Because townhomes require a smaller footprint than a
- 1:51Speaker 1: traditional single family home, it allows for more living quarters
- 1:54Speaker 1: utilizing less acreage. They hope the townhomes will be owner occupied.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Bailian lawmakers in Texas are divided over the use of IVF.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Some are calling for limits on the practice. Here's TSN's
- 2:06Speaker 1: Michael Board with more.
- 2:08Speaker 2: The debate is dividing the GOP State Center.
- 2:10Speaker 6: Lois cole Course says the law is unclear about what
- 2:13Speaker 6: happens to unused embryos after a successful IVF treatment.
- 2:17Speaker 5: What happens to fertilize embryos that go unused after a
- 2:21Speaker 5: successful IVF treatment?
- 2:23Speaker 1: Who owns those embryos?
- 2:26Speaker 7: Can they be sold?
- 2:27Speaker 6: Some people believe the destruction of those unused embryos amount
- 2:30Speaker 6: to mass abortion. At the party's convention, one of the
- 2:33Speaker 6: legislative priorities was to protect feed the life from destructive practices.
- 2:37Speaker 6: But that goes against the goals of President Trump, who
- 2:40Speaker 6: struck deals with pharmaceutical companies to expand access to IVF
- 2:44Speaker 6: in San Antonio. Michael Board TSN News.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Texas Instruments will be receiving a thirty three point six

- 3:08Speaker 1: term investment in our great state advances Texas leadership in
- 3:11Speaker 1: semiconductor manufacturing. Doctors and Texas are warning parents about these
- 3:16Speaker 1: so called Bena drill challenge. That's when kids and teenagers
- 3:19Speaker 1: take high doses of the over the counter drug in
- 3:22Speaker 1: an attempt to induce hallucinations or a feeling of a high.
- 3:25Speaker 1: The challenge started back in twenty twenty and has resulted
- 3:28Speaker 1: in hospital visits and now even some deaths in the state.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Doctor Stephanie Felton with Cook Children's in Fort Worth says,
- 3:33Speaker 1: there's been a surgeon cases over the past year, and
- 3:36Speaker 1: here's why it's so dangerous.
- 3:37Speaker 8: Sometimes they will have like a little bit of sleepiness
- 3:41Speaker 8: from it, and that can even cause respiratory drive to decrease,
- 3:46Speaker 8: having them have a hard time breathing. It can also

- 6:14Speaker 9: it feels like first class everywhere.
- 6:15Speaker 11: Well, I'm not gonna lie to you. When I traveled
- 6:17Speaker 11: with the track meet, because I was on the shorter
- 6:20Speaker 11: end and I was on the tiny end, they always
- 6:22Speaker 11: threw me in the middle seat. So the sprinters and
- 6:24Speaker 11: like the throwers would intentionally be like, you're sitting with us.
- 6:26Speaker 11: I'm like, oh fine. I was like, y'all, I don't
- 6:30Speaker 11: want to sit in the middle. And then one time
- 6:33Speaker 11: they let me sit on the window seat.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Did that?
- 6:36Speaker 7: What was that experience?
- 6:37Speaker 10: Like?
- 6:37Speaker 7: It was great?
- 6:38Speaker 11: It was at the very end of the year. Is
- 6:39Speaker 11: on our way home from conference, They're like, you know,
- 6:42Speaker 11: for the last two years, we've all made you sit
- 6:45Speaker 11: in the middle seat. So the two, like the four people,
- 6:48Speaker 11: like I was friends with all four of them, They're like,
- 6:50Speaker 11: you can sit in the middle seat on our two
- 6:51Speaker 11: connecting flights. On the window seat are two connecting flights.
- 6:55Speaker 11: I'm like, thank you. So glad I gets come home
- 6:57Speaker 11: from Kentucky at the window.
- 6:59Speaker 3: On my.
- 7:00Speaker 7: Connection.
- 7:01Speaker 2: I am an aisle guy. I will not sit at
- 7:04Speaker 2: the way I need to. Mynase will cramp up. Yeah,
- 7:08Speaker 2: into the aisle. You can kind of stick your foot
- 7:10Speaker 2: out there, and.
- 7:10Speaker 9: Yeah, if you're unless you're sleeping, then you're going to
- 7:14Speaker 9: be You're you're in the dangers out right.
- 7:16Speaker 2: You don't want to be leaving it out there. Yeah, exactly,
- 7:19Speaker 2: just a place to stretch your leg.
- 7:21Speaker 9: I can't do the middle for obvious reasons. I'm I'm
- 7:23Speaker 9: a little bit taller, yeah, and I'm more of a
- 7:26Speaker 9: window seat guy.
- 7:27Speaker 7: But I ask you this, So.
- 7:29Speaker 2: I did get stuck in the middle once. So John
- 7:34Speaker 2: and I went up to uh went up to Chicago
- 7:38Speaker 2: visit Northwestern when he was senior in high school, and
- 7:42Speaker 2: we just got the cheap Southwest fairs. Yeah, I want
- 7:47Speaker 2: to say it was like one hundred bucks round trip
- 7:49Speaker 2: for each of us. And I didn't check in fast
- 7:53Speaker 2: enough coming back, right, because if you're flying Southwest.
- 7:58Speaker 9: You got you gotta be only Yeah, that's the only
- 8:00Speaker 9: thing with Southwest, You've gotta be well.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Right. But back then, twenty four hours in advance and
- 8:07Speaker 2: going up there, I think we each had our own aisle.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, I mean there was no problem coming
- 8:14Speaker 2: back from Chicago to Austin. Not so that thing was
- 8:18Speaker 2: full and I was the smallest of three guys packed
- 8:22Speaker 2: into this one aisle. There's there's one middle seat there,
- 8:26Speaker 2: and we squeezed in.
- 8:27Speaker 9: Maybe had either of you ever gotten the wall seat
- 8:32Speaker 9: the in between or a window seat without a window, No.
- 8:36Speaker 2: No, because I'm an aisle person.
- 8:38Speaker 9: Yeah, it wouldn't affect you. There is this is something
- 8:42Speaker 9: that happens in planes. Because again, when they've originally built
- 8:45Speaker 9: a plane, each row has a window. But when you
- 8:48Speaker 9: move the seat, when you move the seats up an
- 8:50Speaker 9: inch and up an inch and up an inch to
- 8:52Speaker 9: try to get that extra little bit of room, then
- 8:56Speaker 9: you eventually someone's gonna get stuck.
- 8:59Speaker 2: With the window wall seat with the window without a window.
- 9:02Speaker 9: Yeah, I will tell you this. People hate those things.
- 9:07Speaker 9: And to the point where now I think it's there. There,
- 9:08Speaker 9: there's some guys suing.
- 9:10Speaker 2: I think it's a class action.
- 9:11Speaker 9: There. It's a class action because you paid extra for
- 9:14Speaker 9: a window seat and you got stuck staring at a wall. Now,
- 9:17Speaker 9: this is where I wanted to to break this off.
- 9:20Speaker 9: To me, the wall seat, that's the unicorn. That is
- 9:25Speaker 9: the absolute unicorn of airline seating. And the reason is
- 9:32Speaker 9: there's you have something to put your head on. You
- 9:35Speaker 9: can angle yourself completely different when there's the wall as
- 9:40Speaker 9: opposed to the actual window. I would go so far
- 9:43Speaker 9: and say, if you said it was a wall seat,
- 9:45Speaker 9: I'd probably pay more for the wall seat.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Don't listen to Tucker. They'll charge that thing then.
- 9:52Speaker 9: Yeah, no, no, no, it's trash, absolute trash. So yeah,
- 9:55Speaker 9: we're gonna see. But the the argument is, well, window
- 9:58Speaker 9: seat means a window, actual window, and.
- 10:01Speaker 7: Which is frankly probably fine.
- 10:04Speaker 2: So they're they're suing Delta over it, and Delta said,
- 10:08Speaker 2: it's a location on the plane.
- 10:09Speaker 7: We call it that.
- 10:10Speaker 9: It does not entitle you to the window, right, so
- 10:14Speaker 9: like an armorest, Well, you don't really have rights to
- 10:17Speaker 9: that either, you know what I mean?
- 10:21Speaker 7: What do we have? Your text best?
- 10:23Speaker 2: But you know, I'll never predict what a jury will.
- 10:26Speaker 9: Pay out, you know, if you get paid off of it.
- 10:28Speaker 9: So if you can make the airline pay you, I'm
- 10:31Speaker 9: all in favor of it. You guys, go hand. Allen says,
- 10:34Speaker 9: window seats rock for zero dark thirty flights. Oh look
- 10:38Speaker 9: at the sunrise pick thank you for that, Allen. On
- 10:40Speaker 9: a nice little Southwest it looks like it's flying. You
- 10:42Speaker 9: know how many times I've been to Vegas that I
- 10:44Speaker 9: can just look at the look at the mountains and
- 10:46Speaker 9: be like, I think that's Vegas. Tell me I'm wronguh.
- 10:50Speaker 9: Tad says window seat hogs that shut the shade need
- 10:55Speaker 9: to be dealt with in the harshest terms necessary.
- 10:59Speaker 7: I disagree with that. I think you turn.
- 11:01Speaker 9: I think you shut the shade to keep you from
- 11:04Speaker 9: from burning up, like I want to keep that thing
- 11:06Speaker 9: as cool as possible, and you get up there in
- 11:07Speaker 9: the sun and it's just not ideal. No one likes that.
- 11:10Speaker 9: And I want that plant dark as I can get it. Man, Like,
- 11:13Speaker 9: I'm again, but that's me. I'm trying to sleep. I'm
- 11:17Speaker 9: trying to sleep. If that's not you, probably a completely
- 11:21Speaker 9: different set of circumstances.
- 11:22Speaker 11: The Okay, So I have a topic that may infuriate
- 11:25Speaker 11: some people. You never know once you got Have you
- 11:27Speaker 11: ever seen those viral videos where you have your designated aisle,
- 11:31Speaker 11: but sometimes your windows will tiny bit behind you are
- 11:33Speaker 11: just like level with your head, and people will reach
- 11:35Speaker 11: up from behind you and shut your window, and then
- 11:38Speaker 11: when you go to open it again, they will grab
- 11:40Speaker 11: a hold of it and like nearly knock you over
- 11:42Speaker 11: in your seat to make sure the window stays down.
- 11:45Speaker 11: That level of disrespect infuriates me. And some people are like,
- 11:49Speaker 11: well they want the window closed. I'm like, that's not
- 11:51Speaker 11: their aisle. You don't touch the freaking window if you're
- 11:54Speaker 11: not in that aisle.
- 11:55Speaker 7: Oh man, you want to talk about it?
- 11:57Speaker 11: Pet Peeve, that's on my numb That's probably like number
- 11:59Speaker 11: one one for me because I see the videos in infuriated.
- 12:02Speaker 7: It's not no, no, no, no, So this has happened to you,
- 12:04Speaker 7: This has happened to you. No, it hasn't hasn't happened.
- 12:07Speaker 7: It's just from the video. The video is setting you
- 12:09Speaker 7: off at this line.
- 12:10Speaker 11: Yes, it makes me so mad that people feel that
- 12:13Speaker 11: entitled to reach up and knock the wind and then
- 12:15Speaker 11: they'll push on this. If you open the window again,
- 12:18Speaker 11: then they start kicking their seat and make it impossible
- 12:21Speaker 11: for the person in front of them to sit there
- 12:23Speaker 11: because they're mad at them, or they just keep shutting
- 12:25Speaker 11: the window over and over and over, or cause mayhem
- 12:28Speaker 11: on the plane.
- 12:29Speaker 3: That old man.
- 12:31Speaker 11: If someone did that to me, I would sit there
- 12:33Speaker 11: with my hand on the window holding it open, just
- 12:35Speaker 11: to be horrible.
- 12:36Speaker 12: It just bey and y'all ask me why I sleep

- 12:56Speaker 9: very important today to a lot of people, and I

- 13:25Speaker 9: is really National French Friday, what a burger has a
- 13:28Speaker 9: free medium fry in their app? That's a pretty strong
- 13:32Speaker 9: way to start out. You know, if you want the
- 13:34Speaker 9: specials at this point, the way you're gonna get them
- 13:37Speaker 9: is you're gonna go and you're gonna look in the
- 13:39Speaker 9: app the loyalty. No, if they have a special, we're
- 13:42Speaker 9: gonna make you get the app anyway.
- 13:43Speaker 7: So just surrender.
- 13:44Speaker 9: Now get the stupid app, get your special, get yourself
- 13:48Speaker 9: some free fries today.
- 13:49Speaker 11: In your opinion, since International French Friday, where is the
- 13:53Speaker 11: best restaurant or best place to get French fries from?
- 13:59Speaker 7: All right?
- 13:59Speaker 9: So do we want local? Let's stick to Let's stick
- 14:02Speaker 9: to local. If you go national, people always tell you that,
- 14:05Speaker 9: like in and out burgers, fries, in and out burgers
- 14:08Speaker 9: fries or garbage cardboard, absolute garbage. But a lot of
- 14:13Speaker 9: America doesn't have what's called taste, So I understand how
- 14:18Speaker 9: we got there, But I.
- 14:19Speaker 7: Would say you're in a best overall is gonna be hard.
- 14:24Speaker 9: We got to start with like a block of two
- 14:26Speaker 9: or three and if you if you've got some police,
- 14:28Speaker 9: police or text us best fries in town, hit us
- 14:31Speaker 9: up nine seven twenty.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Straight five fries at a fast food chain, I'm gonna
- 14:37Speaker 2: put McDonald's at the top, right.
- 14:39Speaker 9: Look, Yeah, that's that's hard to I would say McDonald's
- 14:43Speaker 9: hard to be in general because of the nature of
- 14:46Speaker 9: the fact that I mean, god, there's not anything that really.
- 14:50Speaker 2: I'm not comparing them to local places that yeah, you know,
- 14:53Speaker 2: chop up fries.
- 14:54Speaker 9: Right and go into the kitchen and run through a
- 14:57Speaker 9: potato that's different. That's a different, a salt that they
- 15:02Speaker 9: use that tastes like because it yeah, and also a
- 15:05Speaker 9: sugar in it.
- 15:06Speaker 7: So it's been it's meant to addict to you.
- 15:07Speaker 2: So the curly fry at uh A Jack in the
- 15:12Speaker 2: Box is a solid fry.
- 15:13Speaker 9: That is that is a really solid fry that's another thing.
- 15:17Speaker 9: Uh that if you go to Jack in the Box,
- 15:20Speaker 9: two tacos and curly fries are never going to go wrong.
- 15:24Speaker 7: Chick fil A fries specifically the butt fry. Do you
- 15:29Speaker 7: know what that is?
- 15:30Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the one that's got the the.
- 15:32Speaker 7: That's just the end of the potato of the potato.
- 15:34Speaker 9: Get a few of those in there, man, that's your
- 15:36Speaker 9: lucky day. I would say, I give what a burger
- 15:38Speaker 9: pretty high fry marks. Honestly, that's that's one to me
- 15:42Speaker 9: that that is difficult to beat. Now I'm going to
- 15:46Speaker 9: ding them on one thing and one thing alone. If
- 15:49Speaker 9: they don't come directly out of the fryer at what
- 15:52Speaker 9: a burger, they start degrading real fast, real real, real fast.
- 15:58Speaker 7: That's a problem.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Apparently, the Chick fil A Friday special you gotta play
- 16:03Speaker 2: a game in the app and you can get a
- 16:05Speaker 2: free medium fry.

- 18:58Speaker 3: in our community. It says that that's College Station, Texas
- 19:02Speaker 3: is a good bet that they keep their promises, that
- 19:06Speaker 3: they manage their money.
- 19:07Speaker 1: College Station is now one of only twelve cities in

- 19:14Speaker 1: Council met last night and made some zoning and ordnance changes.

- 19:20Speaker 1: the land use designation for the seven point two acres
- 19:23Speaker 1: on Harvey Mitchell South between Dartmuth Street and the Earl

- 19:34Speaker 1: for that area from general commercial and a corridor overlay
- 19:37Speaker 1: to multifamily and natural areas protected a request to change
- 19:42Speaker 1: an ordinance in the Wolfpin Creek zoning district. A micro
- 19:45Speaker 1: mobility retailer was requesting the change to allow for the
- 19:48Speaker 1: display of vehicles in front of their business. The council
- 19:51Speaker 1: was split, but the change was approved four to three.
- 19:54Speaker 1: I think Councilman Bob Yancy says it best.
- 19:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I say let him do business.

- 20:52Speaker 1: it's so dangerous.
- 20:54Speaker 8: Sometimes they will have like a little bit of sleepiness

- 21:02Speaker 8: to decrease, having them have a hard time breathing.
- 21:05Speaker 2: It can also cause seizures.
- 21:08Speaker 8: It can cause heart arrhythmias.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Felton systeens are carrying around bags full of the pills

- 23:53Speaker 2: goes through my list of the thirty fry deals out there.
- 23:56Speaker 7: Not bad.
- 23:57Speaker 9: Jeff Texan, I think we need to have this discussion
- 24:00Speaker 9: and seasoned fries versus special fries in terms of category,
- 24:03Speaker 9: because then you be two, especially since when you go
- 24:06Speaker 9: chili cheese fries, fries just become a conveyance method for
- 24:10Speaker 9: the chili and cheese.
- 24:11Speaker 2: No doubt about that.
- 24:12Speaker 7: No, Yeah, you're right, You're right.
- 24:14Speaker 9: I do think it is unfair for me to rate
- 24:18Speaker 9: fries alongside fries with like meat and cheese and other
- 24:23Speaker 9: things on top of that is not fair to the fry.
- 24:26Speaker 9: By the way, he adds his favorite TJ Fries Man

- 25:12Speaker 9: remember the Deluxe Cafe. Oh yeah, they say that was
- 25:15Speaker 9: the best cheese rise there have ever been and there
- 25:18Speaker 9: ever will be. Which is a great reference if.
- 25:22Speaker 2: We're gonna throw out I mean, obviously Deluxe was here forever.
- 25:25Speaker 7: Yeah, I was.
- 25:27Speaker 2: I was telling Tucker one of one of the best
- 25:29Speaker 2: fries in town that I've had at a local place
- 25:32Speaker 2: is closed. Yeah, right, Voodoo Brewing, which was down on
- 25:37Speaker 2: North Gate, but you know, kind of a couple of
- 25:40Speaker 2: blocks down from the chicken area of the parking lot.
- 25:43Speaker 2: I guess it was a block from the edge of
- 25:45Speaker 2: the parking lot. But they were just in such a
- 25:47Speaker 2: bad spot in that one little building with the road
- 25:51Speaker 2: closed down on both sides.
- 25:53Speaker 9: That place was the kiss of death. Like that took
- 25:55Speaker 9: down several several good businesses.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Well, were actually on the other side of that, in
- 26:01Speaker 2: the bottom of one of those new high rises.
- 26:03Speaker 7: Oh gosh, what but there's.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Road construction on both sides. They had spectacular food, but
- 26:08Speaker 2: no one could go there.
- 26:09Speaker 7: Right because you couldn't find it yet. M that's a shame.
- 26:12Speaker 7: Hot dogs, et cetera.
- 26:15Speaker 9: From Michael, that is one that that's a sleeper right there.
- 26:19Speaker 9: You don't really think about them, but but.
- 26:21Speaker 2: You definitely go chili cheese fries when you go there.
- 26:23Speaker 9: Right, absolutely, like, because I mean, if you're not getting
- 26:27Speaker 9: chili on everything at hot dogs, et cetera. What are
- 26:30Speaker 9: you even what's even the point?
- 26:31Speaker 2: What are you thinking? Right?
- 26:32Speaker 7: I challenge you?
- 26:34Speaker 9: Uh? And finally Jay brings up what could be, in
- 26:39Speaker 9: my opinion, the winner of this conversation, and that would
- 26:42Speaker 9: be the KFC potato wedge in the fast food category.
- 26:49Speaker 9: You've never you've never had the KFC KC there. Some
- 26:53Speaker 9: people hate potato wedges. They think that's cheating because it's
- 26:56Speaker 9: basically like baked tato. It's not really the same thing,
- 26:58Speaker 9: but not a fry. I think the reason I like
- 27:01Speaker 9: them so much is because most of the time, when
- 27:02Speaker 9: you were anything at KFC, you're getting like I mean,
- 27:05Speaker 9: the gravy is just married to it anyway, so you
- 27:07Speaker 9: have that as a dipping sauce available at all times
- 27:12Speaker 9: to consume with the potato wet.
- 27:14Speaker 2: I can't tell you I've ever gone and gotten potatoes
- 27:17Speaker 2: that weren't matched at KFC. I mean, whether it's just
- 27:21Speaker 2: with gravy, with corn and chicken nuggets and gravy, you know,
- 27:26Speaker 2: throw a biscuit.
- 27:26Speaker 9: And I'm not saying there are better things at kegs.
- 27:29Speaker 9: I mean I'm a big fan as well of the
- 27:31Speaker 9: before there were famous balls at KFC.
- 27:34Speaker 7: There was just the way.
- 27:35Speaker 9: I eat KFC, which was get a bawl and then
- 27:38Speaker 9: dump all of those things in it and stir see.
- 27:41Speaker 7: They were ripping me off the entire time.

- 28:07Speaker 11: the MLB last night, Texas Rangers Wyat Langford lined a
- 28:11Speaker 11: shot off the wall in left field to bring home
- 28:14Speaker 11: Alejandro Osuna in the ninth inning.
- 28:17Speaker 14: One ball, one strength a count. Here comes Yeats and
- 28:20Speaker 14: that ball is hit the deep left field, Siri going back,
- 28:23Speaker 14: it's over his head, top the base.
- 28:25Speaker 10: Of the wall.
- 28:26Speaker 14: Oh sooner round third, he stares easily. Whyatt Langford locks
- 28:30Speaker 14: off the Angels as the Rangers defeat Hala here tonight
- 28:35Speaker 14: by the final of seven to six.
- 28:38Speaker 11: The Rangers nail biting seven to six victory over the
- 28:42Speaker 11: Los Angeles Angels comes after the Rangers blew a five
- 28:45Speaker 11: run lead in the FIFA World Cup. Yesterday, Francis Keeleon
- 28:50Speaker 11: Pape scored a stunning goal after missing a first half
- 28:53Speaker 11: penalty to move level with Lionel Messi in the race
- 28:57Speaker 11: for the Golden Boot and fueled France to the World
- 29:00Speaker 11: Cup semifinals with a two to zero win over Morocco.
- 29:04Speaker 11: In NHL news, Quinn Hughes, Kale mccarr and the price
- 29:07Speaker 11: tag on their next contracts are about to be the
- 29:10Speaker 11: topic of intense discussion and scrutiny around the NHL. Each
- 29:14Speaker 11: are entering their final season of their respected six year deals,
- 29:18Speaker 11: with Hughes making seven point eight five million and macar
- 29:21Speaker 11: earning nine million. Hughes won the Norris Trophy in twenty
- 29:25Speaker 11: twenty four one in Olympic gold medal back in February,
- 29:29Speaker 11: and was traded in December to the Minnesota Wild and
- 29:32Speaker 11: helped transfer them into a Stanley Cup contender. Mccar is
- 29:36Speaker 11: a two time Norris winner, guided the Colorado Avalanche to
- 29:39Speaker 11: the Cup in twenty twenty two and has a chance
- 29:42Speaker 11: to help them win at least one more in the
- 29:44Speaker 11: near future. The deals for Hughes and maccar will be
- 29:48Speaker 11: the next steps for the NHL in catching up to
- 29:50Speaker 11: the other leagues. If hypothetically speaking, they receive twenty million annually,
- 29:55Speaker 11: that would be the highest contract by average annual value
- 29:59Speaker 11: in the NHL and would rank seventy second in the NFL,
- 30:03Speaker 11: tied for seventy fifth in the Major League Baseball, and
- 30:05Speaker 11: ninety fifth in the NBA. There are long term implications
- 30:09Speaker 11: for the rest of the league. In addition to resetting
- 30:12Speaker 11: the market for defenseman at the top end, it could
- 30:15Speaker 11: have a trickle down effect in changing expectation for blue
- 30:18Speaker 11: liners at varying talent levels. In NBA news, the first
- 30:22Speaker 11: week of NBA free agency came and went with lots
- 30:25Speaker 11: of action, but there are moves still yet to come,
- 30:28Speaker 11: including where Lebron James will land for his twenty fourth
- 30:31Speaker 11: season in the league. James has routinely kept his choice
- 30:35Speaker 11: private in twenty ten, twenty fourteen, and twenty eighteen and
- 30:39Speaker 11: successfully controlled the release of his decision, but historically teammates,
- 30:43Speaker 11: friends and business partners had a feel for what he
- 30:46Speaker 11: might do based on the vibes and not intel. The
- 30:49Speaker 11: same seems to be taking place this offseason. The teams
- 30:53Speaker 11: that have been pitching to James have reported mostly one
- 30:55Speaker 11: way communication. While there is a vibe, pointing toward the
- 30:59Speaker 11: Cleveland Cavalie. There are other teams potentially in the mix,
- 31:03Speaker 11: like the Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and
- 31:07Speaker 11: Philadelphia seventy six Ers. Golden State Warriors point guard Steph
- 31:11Speaker 11: Curry commented on the appeal of playing with Lebron James.
- 31:15Speaker 13: I feel like any place he'd call and say I
- 31:18Speaker 13: want to play there, you'd move mountains to make it happen.
- 31:20Speaker 13: And I know we're in that boat as well. So
- 31:23Speaker 13: the pitches, we want to play good basketball, be around
- 31:25Speaker 13: people that know how to play the game. Hopefully you know,
- 31:27Speaker 13: raise our floor on on on our competitiveness this year.
- 31:31Speaker 13: There's a good golf in the bay, which is a
- 31:32Speaker 13: matter of where he sees himself fitting and at the
- 31:35Speaker 13: end of the day, that's up to him.
