Good evening. Everybody will welcome to the Sports Exchange. My name is Scott
0:26
Morgan, Rock MotorCity, Madmouth. Yes, we do this every Wednesday night
0:30
around nine o'clock. He's in time great crew on hat and then again they're
0:33
a regular Wednesday crew. Does she give you an idea of what we're gonna
0:36
be talking about. We're gonna talk about CBS in the NFL today, a
0:40
lot on the any Stanley Cup Finals, and JB will have a regular segment
0:46
on his own as well as the w NBA. With that said, let
0:48
me go out there and introduce my crew to the left. Okay, because
0:52
she's a producer of the Jack of All Trades there and gets to stay in
0:56
the corner. Candy, thank you, Scott, glad to be here.
1:00
And Joe Ellis Man, I'll tell you this guy gets around too in the
1:04
Windy City. Yeah, no, doing good. You know I had a
1:07
chance to do the Grier Greats on Friday. A lot of fun. Absolutely,
1:14
oh, he said, the great mind sinking light talking about later in
1:17
the show. Good stuff that was. I'm impressed at last, but not
1:19
least. George Icorn, ge General Electric, George Korn, whatever you want
1:23
to call it. Yeah, we bring good things to life, Yeah,
1:26
you do. And of course we brought the sports exchange of people many years
1:30
ago, back in the well. So this show goes out a long long
1:36
time. All right, Well, let's get to it. A lot to
1:38
get to tonight. You've got CBS shaking up the NFL today, Boomer Science
1:44
and and Phil Simms are out, Matt Ryan's in George. You know what,
1:48
We'll start off with you. Well, Scott, I can't say it's
1:52
a total surprise. I guess if out of the two, I would say,
1:56
uh Asias and was the biggest surprise to me. I mean, I
2:00
always like Bloomer. He does these real short commentaries, you know, on
2:04
a local station that I listen to, and he's always been to me a
2:08
one. I mean, I've always liked Bloomer, Sias and Sims. I
2:13
mean, you know, the guy had his dream job with Jim Nance as
2:16
we all know, back in the play by play days and color commentary and
2:21
did many Super Bowls, et cetera, et cetera. When they put him
2:23
on the studio show, I just got to I just never got a real
2:28
good comfort level for his work. And you've got so many people. There's
2:31
so many things going on there, Burlison, and he got so many people
2:36
talking, and sometimes it gets difficult, you know, to share the microphone,
2:39
as they say, with everybody going around the horn. And then you
2:44
got to have something good to say. I mean, you can't say something
2:46
really either unwise or stupid because everybody's watching you. I'm not totally surprised,
2:53
Like I said, guys, but Boomer size that I would have kept him
2:57
Matt Ryan. Jerry's still out for me. But he's a good guy,
3:02
a hell of a nice long career, and I hope he does well.
3:07
Joe. So, I mean, unfortunately, Phil Sibbs and Boomer are from
3:14
yesterday. You know, I know who they are. But the viewers that
3:17
watch the NFL right now, it's a young person's game. They want to
3:22
bring in the younger people. Matt Ryan just left the game, so that's
3:25
why he's in. It's not that Boomer or Phil does though did a bad
3:30
job. They're both phenomenal at what they do. Uh. You know,
3:34
Boomber great mind. Phil is a great mind. Love both of them.
3:38
But you know, fortunately it's a young person's game. Matt Ryan's the newest
3:43
face on the block and they got to compete. So that's why they made
3:46
the move. Andy, the NFL is about and everything about it is about
3:53
the almighty dollar, and jon't hit the nail on the head. You want
3:58
to make sure that you are appealing to all of the audiences, not just
4:01
the people that have been watching for twenty thirty forty years. You got to
4:06
somehow bring in these young generation kids that want to see it, and then
4:12
they can relate to Matt Ryan. Just like Joe said, they just came
4:18
he just retired, He just came out. They all know who he is,
4:21
who he was, he was a former MVP. They went and got
4:27
the talent and they're gonna and let's face it, they're all doing it.
4:30
We've seen this over and over look at how ESPN has changed and gotten into
4:34
the younger, younger announcers and everything. We've seen it across the board in
4:42
all of media. Okay, well here's what we've got here. Number One,
4:47
CBS was waiting for one thing and one thing only. They were waiting
4:51
for Matt Ryan to completely retire. Okay, that's what they were waiting for.
4:56
They didn't know if he was gonna be back on the field last year
4:59
whether they get once he made the decision, all right, I like this
5:01
broadcasting thing, right, Okay, I want to go at it full time.
5:05
Boom. That was the end of the other two Boomers science and number
5:09
one is pretty established in the metropolitan New York area anyways. I think he
5:13
does a lot of his own stuff. To begin with Bill Simms, it
5:15
was his time for him to say, hey, I had a great run
5:17
as a quarterback and broadcasting. My son's doing it. Take it easy.
5:21
You know, maybe somebody will find them, or he'll do a podcast.
5:25
But Will Sims that a good career. Anytime a guy can win a Super
5:29
Bowl championship and be in here to talk about it, that's good stuff.
5:32
But Boomer's all taken care of. Who knows if he was just scale back
5:36
a little or not. I don't know, but I do know that he
5:40
does have shows on Metro and the Metropolitan New York media market, so he's
5:46
not going to lose anything. So but Matt Ryan, you're right, it's
5:48
all about appealing to the younger generation. And Onces said he was sound and
5:54
sealed and delivered, and you know what, That's why I think the change
5:57
is inevitable. All right, we're gonna talk about basketball, okay, and
6:01
we're gonna talk about the WNBA. The next expansion team is Toronto. The
6:05
addition of Toronto means the NBA is up to now fourteen teams by twenty and
6:12
twenty six, but a new Golden State franchise also gets to play next season.
6:16
Canada sells out another WNBA game with two thousand, six hundred and fifty
6:23
five in attendance at Edmonton. By the way, we're gonna talk about Edmonton
6:26
in a little bit, Okay, So I guess the main thing is,
6:30
Joe, what are your thoughts about the WNBA going to Toronto? If you
6:34
gotta expand, now's the time to expand. Everybody's watching because a Kate Lee
6:39
Clark as all as controversy. Everyone's watching with its basketball strike while the Irons
6:44
hot and Toronto is a big city, one of the biggest cities in North
6:47
America. Why not put a team there? They could support it. Yeah,
6:51
one of the prettiest cities as well. Can I recently came from I
6:56
love Toronto every time I get to go. George, we ask God.
7:00
I think this is a move that we'll meet with the approval of a lot
7:04
of fans, the Canadian fans especially, and don't forget you got the Buffalo
7:09
audience too. There. They just had an article recently and it said that
7:15
their first month of this WNBA season drew its highest attendance since the second overall
7:21
season of the WNBA in nineteen ninety eight. And heck, the television ratings
7:28
are up. Like you said, JB. I mean, you know,
7:30
with Caitlin Clark and Angel Rees and all this, you know, rivalry stuff
7:38
going on and getting great ratings. That the women's basketball of course in the
7:42
NCAA had super ratings during their tournament, it doesn't come as any surprise to
7:46
me. I think you're going to see more expansion and who knows. I
7:49
mean, I know that we lost our team in Michigan, but they want
7:55
one or two titles. I think the Detroit Shock, but they've been gone
7:59
for a long time, of course, But it's interesting to say, but
8:03
no, I agree. I mean that the stop the fire is hot,
8:05
and uh yeah, I get more cities in there, as long as they're
8:09
legitimate, As long as you got good ownership and the money to support that
8:13
team, I say, I'm all for it. And congratulations the city of
8:18
Toronto. All right, Kady, you and I were there, give us
8:20
see your impressions of Toronto, now that you had your first act back in
8:24
Canada. So let me before I get into Toronto, let me say a
8:31
little bit about Golden State. So they announced back in October that they were
8:35
expanding for Golden State. As of April of this year, there were already
8:41
five thousand seats season ticket seats sold already for them, So obviously there is
8:50
an interest. Obviously we're talking about WNBA, We're talking about Caitlin Clark.
8:54
Like we've all said, striking while the fire is hot, because right now
9:00
is when everybody is starting to watch all these teams and watch women's sports.
9:05
Like I talked last night on Chicks and Salsa. How the women's softball Championship,
9:13
George, you had mentioned you congratulations to Oklahoma they won the fourth straight.
9:18
Well, they also set a record for viewership as well, two million
9:22
viewers. You know, game three. People are watching. They want to
9:26
see this kind of stuff. So I think, like Joe said, strike
9:31
qualifiers hot, expand. As long as you have quality players and that want
9:39
to play, and you have enough team, you have the facilities, you'll
9:43
have the fans will be there. Toronto. We went to Toronto this year
9:48
and this is the first time I had been really to that. I stayed
9:52
in Canada. I had been over the border just once briefly with you Scott
9:56
earlier. But Toronto is big city and it just amazes me how compact it
10:03
is. And when I say compact, that means they build up and down,
10:07
Like when I say we stayed in hotel of sorts, it was condominiums
10:16
basically, but our parking was four levels down below the ground. Four levels.
10:20
So they build up and down, so they're compact. So people walk
10:26
to things and because of that, are they gonna support this Yes, because
10:31
they can get to it. It's not like you're going to be driving two
10:33
hours to go to a game. You have lots of people and you know
10:37
that can walk that are short that I think there's a I don't know what
10:46
the exact per capita people are in Toronto, but if you ask me,
10:52
I'm guessing it's pretty high, because, like I said, they build up,
10:56
so they could have twenty floors of apartments, thirty floors of apartments.
11:01
There's a lot of people in that small community and they're going to support it,
11:05
just like they supported the Maple Leaves, they support the Raptors, they
11:09
support the Blue Jays, all of them. Yeah, mister Lawyer says hello,
11:16
Hello, mister Lawyer, thanks for being on the night. Yeah,
11:18
and don't forget the old Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian football Yeah about them either,
11:24
And I think they've got soccer there. So Toronto's a great sports sound
11:28
and I've been there many quite a few times. I just love the area.
11:31
And thankfully on a recent trip there, we did have a chance to
11:35
check out Maple League gardens. When we were there. Candy's never seen it's
11:37
one of those right, I was forgiven by the man upstairs. I didn't
11:41
have a camera back in nineteen eighty two when I turned twenty and spent my
11:46
birthday watching the Maple Leafs and the kidd But boy, we went back there
11:50
today. I Candy taking the pictures of me inside the revamped garden which is
11:56
now being used for the college there, and it was just neat just to
12:01
be I'll see all the history and that incredible ton. I went to the
12:05
old Hockey Hall of Fame many years ago when it was that exhibition place.
12:07
I know that they've actually built a city. But regardless, Yeah, I
12:11
think it's a no brainer too. I think it's a no brainer that they
12:15
had to put a WNBA team and in Toronto, and with all the star
12:20
power that you're starting to see there, you know what, that's going to
12:24
be an excellent franchise. In Buffalo hasn't had any professional basketball and I think
12:28
sent some Buffalo Braves right right, So now they have the Rappers if they
12:33
want to go across the border, and now they have an incredible WNBA team.
12:37
All right, Well we'll go from the WNBA to the NBA, okay,
12:41
and that's going into the NBA playoffs of Boston. Celtics had the most
12:46
playoff wins in the last past five seasons with forty one. Now no NBA
12:50
titles to show for it. Will this be the year that they're going to
12:54
finally break through? I know they currently have a two or nothing leader of
12:56
the Dallas Mavericks. So you know what, Katie, what do you think?
13:03
You know? I would have said the Celtics were gonna take it real,
13:09
you know, all the way, and I still think they are.
13:11
But I think I'm surprised by how many injuries we've seen, right, and
13:18
you know, with Porzingis going down and Luca now getting he's getting shots in
13:24
his chest for his chest contusion. I still think the Celtics are gonna take
13:31
it this year. But I again, I'm just real surprised by all the
13:33
injuries. And it's not just NBA, it's over all the sports. Joel.
13:43
Yeah. I mean game three is always the game that sets the tone
13:46
of a series. The Celtics held Hope Court h porzigis as a play in
13:52
which you know, is a hurt to them. But I think that the
13:58
Celtics end up winning at five. You know, I think they're the better
14:01
team. Dallas had a great run, Lucas one of the best players of
14:05
the game, if not the best player. Kyrie does a great job work
14:09
at what a You know, when it's all said and done, that boasted
14:15
Celtic roster is really good. I don't see Dallas having a chance to beat
14:18
them. George. Yeah, And for those wanting a score, Dallas is
14:26
up right now forty four to forty in Game three. And the the interesting
14:31
thing is that Boston, yes they're loaded. Of course, Tatum leads them
14:35
with eighteen points right now, but they have nobody else in double figures right
14:39
now, so this game is obviously going to be a close one. I
14:45
agree with you, guys. I mean the Celtics have been loaded, and
14:48
Scott, you run off the statistics all these years, five years, I
14:52
mean they've been so good, well, a lot of regular season good,
14:56
I should say, but not in the playoffs and not in the finals.
14:58
But I think there's no question in my mind that they're going to win this
15:03
series and take a championship and hang it from the rafters. But what sixty
15:09
four at eighteen the regular season. Unbelievable, great team, good coaching staff,
15:15
and I don't see Dallas possibly winning more than one game here. Well,
15:20
Dallas has been a good story all year when you think of with the
15:22
job that Jason kinn has done, it unbelievable. And I'm actually happy that
15:28
Kyrie Irving is playing basketball and not overshadowing his image with drama. So he
15:33
seems to have found the Jason kids on a marvelous job with him and Luca
15:37
Donzec. But the one stant I'm going to put out there is this all
15:43
time titles. Okay, the Lakers in the Celtics stand at seventeen a piece.
15:48
They don't think in a million years that the Celtics would like to be
15:50
eighteen and seventeen. Or the Lakers are in turmoil with their coaching search and
15:56
they were recently turned down by Danny Hurley looking for a three repeat over with
16:00
the Connecticut Husky. So yeah, you know, I think the Dallas Mavericks
16:04
have a great future with the nucleus that they have. You have a happy
16:08
Kyrie Irving and a guy like look at Doncis, and they have some other
16:12
good players on that team. So you know, they obviously have a good
16:15
general manager there under new ownership. So but yeah, I think what means
16:19
more to Boston is the fact that when they are able to close this thing
16:25
out, and I do believe that they will, it'll be eighteen to seventeen
16:29
over the Lakers in the championship department. But that's that, Katie, go
16:33
ahead, one quick thing. Let's all wish. It's Drew Holliday's birthday,
16:37
So happy birthday to Drew Holliday. He's he's really lit it up in defense
16:42
and really helping Boston. So yeah, happy birthday Drew. Every birthday I
16:48
get the FVP of the Finals right now? Oh do you really? Yeah?
16:52
Yeah, well let me tell you some katy. Obviously, a little
16:56
bit of loyalty holiday helped them Bucks win a championship. Anything else you want
17:00
to go ahead and add to it, candy before you take a station break?
17:03
Nope, that's all Okay, it's station break time. Go ahead,
17:07
station break time. This show is sponsored tonight by South Florida Tribune Publishing Company.

tonight, we're really happy to have you, and please spread the word.
19:52
All right, well, we're going to stay out in Canada, okay.
19:56
And the last Canadian team you'll win the Stanley Cup was the Montreal Canadians in
20:02
nineteen ninety three, no problem. But here's an interesting one ready. The
20:07
last American team to win the Great Cup, Yes, everybody, the Great
20:11
Cup back in Candy years is the Baltimore Stallions. My goodness, okay,
20:18
and that was in nineteen ninety five. Can you imagine that? And yet
20:23
believe or not? The Birmingham Stallions are playing in the UFL Championship. No
20:27
related, although good luck to Wave Phillips. I hope you have a chance
20:30
to win a championship of seventy six. Since you are this is your first
20:36
opportunity, after fifty five years of coaching, to be able to roam the
20:38
sideline by yourself as a head goat. Staying on topic, though, can
20:42
you believe that Joe has been nineteen ninety three since the Canadian team won?
20:48
And yeah, isn't it? And what about the Baltimore Stallions? Seriously,
20:55
if you don't know them, google them up. We're way ahead of the
20:57
game here. Unbelievable, just wild, is it? What's wild about it?
21:06
Thirty years? I mean all the teams in Canada that have been good
21:08
since then, not one, as you know owaist of the Cup. I
21:14
mean Toronto year after year is always a good team. Vancouver has been good,
21:18
admit to the last few years has been good. Calgary has been good.
21:22
What a peg? I mean, I could go on and just none
21:23
of them are able to get it done. Yeah, it's wild. Yeah,
21:27
it really does seem pretty surreal, doesn't it. Yeah, I tell
21:33
you what you know? And living across the river from Canada. They are
21:37
some of the best fans anywhere and we know it. And we talked earlier
21:41
about your trip to Toronto, but I had a chance to see at Toronto
21:45
game one Satyre Canada Center, and oh my gosh, what an experience.
21:48
It was a regular season game. I was in town for a conference for
21:52
a company I used to work for, and lo and behold, h I
21:56
lucked out. Made Leafs were home. So I was able to go there
22:00
as a fan and just a great, great experience. You got one on
22:03
me, though, Scott. I've never been to Main Belief Gardens, but
22:07
I'm sure going to try to go there sometime because talk about history, and
22:11
you talk about history Montreal Canadians, and like JB said, all these teams
22:15
Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, solid teams, solid performers, but somehow they
22:21
just can't get it done. And this is the hotbed of hockey we all
22:25
know. I mean, Canada was number one for hockey until our guys came
22:30
around, and cities like New York of course, Boston, Chicago, Detroit,
22:36
you know, the original six and everything. But that's incredibly an incredible
22:41
black guy, and especially on the maple leaves. They are just something about
22:48
them that's just preventing them from breaking that jinks from the nineteen sixties last time
22:52
they won the Stanley Cup. I mean that was sort of like the Cops
22:57
and the Cubs couldn't win, you know, until they finally broke that streak.
23:02
So I mean, you know, I'm thinking about a team that's been
23:03
waiting. Oh well, yeah, there's another team in the NFL. We
23:07
know all about them. I won't mention who, but that's never been to
23:11
a super Bowl. But the fact of the matter is is Canada loves hockey.
23:15
They live hockey, they eat it, they breathe it. And you
23:18
know, I'm still pulling for Edmonton. I don't know. I don't think
23:22
they got enough to do it, though. Florida's on a roll. You
23:25
know, Georgia, I've never seen a guy do a Texas two step better
23:29
than you when it comes to dodging the team. Really seriously, I torn
23:33
you might have just say Detroit Lion because you did everything, but say it
23:36
seriously, all right, come on, seriously, Although you're from Metro Detroit,
23:40
I yeah, to me right now, Metro Detroit. For me,
23:44
what hotels I'm staying at But let's get out with the number. Nineteen sixty
23:48
seven, even a year before Candy was born. Oh, she was born
23:52
in the right year, in nineteen sixty eight, when the Tigers one and
23:53
all. I've put all these dates into perspective. Guys. You know,
24:00
with all due respect, you know, hockey developed in the United States.
24:04
You got a lot more American teams, you have a lot more expand parody
24:08
is making things very difficult for those going through the border. I remember when
24:12
we were growing up, we had a Summit Series. We had that first
24:15
series in nineteen seventy two in the United States again or not, the United
24:18
States, Canada against the against the Soviet Union. I mean, that's unbelievable.
24:23
But I've spent a long time nineteen sixty seven, so and you know,
24:29
I'm not too optimistic that that drought's going to end. We'll get to
24:32
that in the moment, So talk to Candy. The ninety three Montreal Canadians
24:37
remained the last team from Canada hoist the Cup. True that that capped a
24:41
ten year run with eight Canadian champions, including the Oilers winning it five times
24:48
from nineteen eighty four to ninety The drought. We do not need to end
24:53
that drought. We need to end the drought for the Florida Panthers because they
24:56
have not yet won it as a team, so Oilers later, we don't
25:03
need to, you know, change this route this year. The Panthers they're
25:08
playing, they're playing really tough and if you've watched the games, they are
25:15
shooting way more than the Oilers are. The Oilers have only have one goal
25:21
in the two games. It's gonna be it's really gonna come down to I
25:26
feel the goalies. The Serge Rabowski, who they started writing off for a
25:34
couple of years ago that he was on the down side, down cline,
25:38
he wasn't going to amount to much. They're going to live and die by
25:42
him, Panthers. Yeah. Well, the only thing that the Edmonton Oilers
25:49
are missing right now is a goaltender that resides in New York named Igor Sir
25:55
Starkin, because he's the only reason that the Panther that the Rangers stated in
25:59
that there is what he did. Anyways, I mean, let's face a
26:02
relia. I've mentioned this on other shows that no reiterate what I said again.
26:06
A team that loses in the finals one year comes back with an edge,
26:10
and they really come back with an edge. When they got when the
26:12
Panthers were beaten by the Golden Knights a year ago four to one, Vegas
26:18
got their first championship. So Florida's been playing with a chip on their shoulder
26:22
the entire time, and now it's inevitable. The only I say about Florida,
26:27
They're a juggernaut right now. This team here is poised and determined to
26:32
win it. They're up to zip anyways. Industry Game three is tomorrow night
26:36
in Edmonton. But when you put it all in perspective, Vibrosky they signed
26:41
on to a big contract. Now he's finally living up to the money that
26:45
they paid him. And of course they have franchise players like Matt Ka Chuck,
26:49
Alexander Barkoff, Eric ak Plaid. The list goes on and on.
26:53
So yeah, I think the Panthers are poised to be able to pull it
26:56
out, and I don't see any reason to think that they won't. But
27:00
if Edmonton doesn't win tomorrow, then I think it's about cashing in your chips
27:07
and the Panthers are no longer going to be in the mill category. And
27:11
now I'm not speaking about former Red Wings assistant general manager Jim Now, I'm
27:15
talking about Mills in the words zero. I had to throw it in bad
27:18
probably a bad joke, although he did end up winning what Executive of the
27:22
Year awards. So yeah, I think the Panthers certainly are looking awfully good.
27:26
And you know, well someone's going to give either Connor McDavid's gonna win
27:30
his first, so there'll be a bunch of players and the Panthers are going
27:33
to win their first. So it'll be good to see which ones get championship
27:37
raigns for sure. So all right, well we'll continue on this narrative here.
27:42
The oilers in the Florida Panthers series is the farthest distance between two cities
27:48
and NHL history, per ESPN Stats and Information, at two thousand, five
27:53
hundred and forty one miles from Edmonton to Sunrise. You know what, And
27:59
I was doing a little research on this whole thing by car. You're talking
28:03
forty four hours now. If I were gonna sit here and tell you two
28:06
weeks ago, I could even drive four hours a little alone forty so I
28:10
could do it because I got these stylistic glasses that are actually that are actually
28:15
deaf. Witcast told me when we were on our so earlier, those are
28:18
pretty good stylistic glasses, and Knaty liked them and everybody else there. But
28:22
here's the deal. Okay, when you're able to drive a lot of miles,
28:26
it's one thing. But I'll I don't know if I like the two
28:30
two one one one set up when you have this amount of mileage separating them.
28:34
But it is unbelievable the amount of travel that you have to go from
28:38
one venue to the other. You're talking ed Montendo sunrise and the Panthers are
28:44
about ready to put the sun set on the oilers. So Katy, what
28:48
here talks about this distance? It's it's tough because, to be honest with
28:56
you, I can tell you the Panthers they're saying it's about a six hour
29:00
flight. Six to seven hour flight in the air, I can tell you.
29:06
Because of all the rain that we have had here in Florida, the
29:10
Panthers got off to a late start. They were delayed approximately three and a
29:15
half hours today and they were hoping to leave around four thirty pm. Now,
29:22
if you're talking about a six hours flight, you're not getting untill ten
29:26
thirty eleven PM. That's to me seems late considering you're gonna play less than
29:33
twenty four hours later. They said that on the flight they're all playing.
29:38
They're all playing Xbox games or relaxing and stuff like that. The other thing
29:45
is is we do not know the status of Alexander Barkoff because he took a
29:49
high hit and came out of the game with like nine ten minutes left in
29:55
the game the other night. That he did escape today on the ice for
30:00
the Panthers and had a good practice, But they said that they won't know
30:04
his status until after they land, to see how he's feeling after they land.
30:11
But that could be a that could be a significant blow to the Panthers.
30:15
Is one of their captains and one of the strong you know, aggressors
30:19
too. So I'm hoping he'll be able to play, but we'll see.
30:25
But that I think with the the two to two and then one one one,
30:30
that that's a lot of traveling knowing that the distance. Yeah, no
30:34
question about it. I mean I understand why they're doing it, but I
30:38
don't necessarily agree with the decision. Joe, what are your thoughts about it?
30:41
Yeah, I mean they're professionals. They play the game if it was
30:47
in uh at Arctica, they don't care. They both both teams want to
30:52
win. Both teams will be ready to play. I think Florida is going
30:55
to win the series. They played better the first couple of games. Gotta
31:00
be careful of it. It's a flashy, quick team. But if Florida
31:03
keeps playing like they're playing to plague, there's nothing that's going to stop them.
31:07
Yeah, they're abuzz sall right now. The Panthers, There's no question
31:11
about it. So what they need to do is, should they win this
31:15
championship, they just have to find a way to keep as much as their
31:18
roster intact. But it's hard to do in the salary cap era because I'll
31:22
tell you every rais and there's only so much money to go around, all
31:26
right, George, Well, the situation with the time is just incredible in
31:30
the distance involved. And I saw that story, Candy, Yeah, that
31:34
you just talked about, and you know the league gave them an extra day
31:38
between games and able to fly that distance. And yet I have no idea
31:42
why Florida waited that long. I mean, I know you want to stay
31:45
and let the players, you know, sleep in their own bed, as
31:48
they say, their own home. But boy, that's taking it a step
31:52
a little bit too far, especially they didn't know that they're going to be
31:56
delayed three and a half hours because of all the rain you guys have been
32:00
getting at Florida. So if there's a little bit of glimmer pole for Edmonton,
32:05
I guess I'm saying that that might be the chance that they could seize
32:07
one of the games, which would be tomorrow night's game. But the fact
32:12
is is that, yeah, Florida is loaded. They're they're they're too talented,
32:16
and they play as a good unit. They they're firing shots left and
32:21
right, their defense is solid, goaltending. I mean, they got a
32:23
hell of a roster, and like you said, Scott, that revenge factor
32:28
of going there. We didn't win it last year, guys, damn it,
32:31
let's do it now. Let's get it done. And all in ducations
32:36
are is that motivation is right there for the Panthers and their fans and followers.
32:42
Yeah, I mean they're really on points hungry club. I mean,
32:45
it's pretty hard to go ahead and beat a team that's lost the year before
32:49
and knows what it's like together. They have to finish the job. And
32:52
that's a credit to Paul Maurice too. I mean, he's a heck of
32:53
a coach. You know. They've had some pretty good coaches as of late.
32:58
You know, told Quinnvill Andrew Brunette, who I thought was going to
33:00
get the job, but they have to go veteran Andrew Brunette landed with the
33:05
National Predators anyway, So either way, I mean, but yeah, I'm
33:09
a little surprised at the way they handled the travel park. All right,
33:13
Well, let's stay on the theme here. The Infonton Oilers did go ahead
33:16
and start the year two nine and one, they fired their head coach.
33:20
They were tied with the fewest points in the NHL on November ninth, and
33:23
her Chris Knabloch, who leads the Oilers to the finals, their first finals,
33:29
I believe since two thousand and six. Okay, Candy, are here
33:32
thoughts about an early coaching changement in this case particularly paid off? Well,
33:38
I can say it necessarily didn't pay off that well. For the Bucks,
33:43
they did the same thing. They quickly moved on. Whatever it takes.
33:50
I mean in today's day and age, and NHL is no different. You're
33:59
help As a coach, you are held accountable for how your team performs,
34:04
and and not only how it performs, but if it wins, and you
34:09
know it. With every different sport there is, they're held more accountable I
34:15
think these days than ever because you go want to make money, you want
34:19
to have viewership. You you win, And so kudos to the coach that
34:24
took over. I can tell you one last stat out of the last out
34:31
of a fifty four attempts of people of teams that go down oh to two,
34:38
only five have won the Stanley Cup after going down two. So they're
34:45
fighting an uphill battle. I personally don't think they're gonna win it, but
34:51
kudos to firing your coach and still getting and the new coach getting them to
34:57
the finals. And that's that's a testament to him and the team rallying around
35:02
him. Chris Nadlock has done a great job. The guy's only forty five
35:07
years old. He's a coach that you can build around for a lot of
35:09
years, for sure. Joe, obviously you know about coaching changes midseason.
35:14
This one worked out for these Oilers. Yeah, I mean sometimes it works,
35:17
sometimes it doesn't, you know. The Oilers were a very talented team
35:22
starting out two nine to one something. Obviously, was it right right?
35:24
Uh? You know, he came in and the ship got right in and
35:29
look where they are now. You know, I can't really said much more
35:32
than that it worked out well. It doesn't always happen. Look at the
35:36
Bucks, you know, they they went to Doc and they would hope.
35:40
Yeah. And by the way, speaking of the Bucks, they did sign
35:45
Darvin Ham as their new as an assistant. He was back to Milwauge.
35:49
I'm happy for Darvin Ham. That situation with the Lakers is so dysfunctional and
35:52
ridiculous. But Darvin will, let me tell you, Doc Rivers will definitely
35:57
appreciate his president. All right. Well, and this segment with Geords,
36:00
Yeah, you know, Ken Holland obviously pulled the trigger on that coaching change,
36:06
and you're right, Scott, it really woke the franchise up and it
36:09
put them all on notice. Everybody on the team, every coach, assisted
36:15
coach, and anybody connected with the Toilers were all put on notice. And
36:19
it turned out great. I mean, I you know Colin did that once
36:23
here in Detroit. He had to fire Dave Lewis. Dave Lewis was very
36:27
well liked by the Red Wings and the players. Sometimes you got to make
36:31
those tough decisions, and this one surely worked out good. And like you
36:35
said, Scott, he's such a young man. I mean, he's got
36:37
many many years ahead of him, hopefully for their sake, I mean successful
36:43
years. But you know, he tucked him out of the job he was
36:46
in. I don't know was he in the minors or or was any assistant
36:50
coach. I didn't look it up, but I was not relevant. The
36:53
fact that they made it coaching change early exactly exactly it made. He made
36:59
the move at the time, and you gamble on something like that. But
37:02
my god, they finished only five points behind Vancouver in that division. So
37:07
if had a hell of a run the oil liers, they really have.
37:09
Okay, Well, you know what Joe will is for nis in those Wendy
37:13
City So you know what, Joe, You're on your own with this one.
37:15
But I'm gonna lay it out there for you, Okay. Number one
37:19
in the last forty games, the Chicago White Sons are eleven and twenty nine,
37:22
although they've been a train wreck all year anyways, But the Chicago Cubs
37:27
are the interesting story that they've been fifteen and twenty five and their time to
37:30
the New York Mets. What games into Windy City, Joe, Well,
37:35
the White Sox are just a dumbstrup trash right now. I don't know what's
37:39
going on with them. A lot of injuries, a lot of guys just
37:42
are to play it well. Uh, you know, They're pitching is horrible.
37:46
They can't hold leads. The Cubs, they're completely different. They can't
37:52
hit anymore. You know, the lineup that was producing in April stopped producing
37:57
in May and to beginning a Jude, the bullpen hasn't got anything, you
38:04
know, all all season except low games. They blew another game last night,
38:07
almost blew the game tonight. They won four to three run as they
38:09
were up four to one going into the it's the last inning and you know,
38:15
gave up a couple of runs, won four to three, and they
38:17
run us at second to third and almost took Tampa Bay. Almost came back
38:22
and won that game. Their starters have been the bright spot of the team.
38:27
They've had seventeen games where the starter is not a lot of run,
38:30
you know, which is phenomenal. That's the most of the majors. But
38:34
at the same time, the bullpen had a lack of hitting. All right,
38:39
So obviously Joe and I don't mind doing a little this cross promoting,
38:44
Okay, so we're going to do it. In this case, you have
38:46
a show called Confidential. I'm still let the audience know what Confidential is all
38:51
about. I know you've designated the show, and obviously you have a good
38:53
following with it, but let everybody know when Confidential can be seen and where
38:58
it is. You know it actually bring because obviously you know that Chicago Clubs
39:04
have been one of the most popular franchises for many years. Breakthrough Confidential is
39:09
a weekly U weekly magazine style show. We go over the last week of
39:15
Cubs games. We have a bunch of a lot of bunch of different segments,
39:19
uh you know, hot Cup, tib Machine where we'll look back in
39:22
the past and pick out a great event. This Cub's for you. You
39:25
know who have is the best Cup of the week? Cup or dug Which
39:30
is our pole question that we'll ask our paddlists And you can watch every Wednesday
39:34
at seven pm Central on Sidelline Sports or eight Eastern Time. Not everybody's in
39:40
Central Time. Mister Ellis, except what you're taking. I got no problem
39:45
changing zones. I lived on the West Coast. I really enjoyed changing time
39:50
so as you get to watch NFL games earlier. But I'm happy on the
39:52
East Coast and South Florida. I have no complaints about it. So yeah,
39:57
but you know, again, we have Craig Council there. I mean,
39:59
what they expect on the woman his first year. The woman I can
40:01
tell you right now is he didn't take wasn't able to take any of his
40:05
coaches, all of them stay with Pat Murphy in Milwaukee. Yeah, I
40:09
mean, I don't think it's counsel. I think it's the bullpen, you
40:14
know, and the lack of hitting. Guys just they're not hitting. They
40:17
get guys that score positioned and nobody moves them over, nobody gets them in,
40:22
and the bullpen has been atrocious. You can't, you know, you
40:25
can't have starters that go out there and give you quality start at the quality
40:30
start, and the bullpen go and blow every single game. You know,
40:34
it just doesn't work. You're not going to go anywhere with that. Luckily
40:37
for them, there's not a lot of good teams in baseball this year,
40:39
you know, they're still in a fight for that third wildcard, and you
40:44
know, thankfully, because there's just not a lot of good teams. All
40:49
right, My final question about the Cubs, Jill, do you think they're
40:52
gonna be buyers and sellers at the trade dead line right now? I think
40:57
where they sit that they'll be buyers, But that and change if, you
41:00
know, they go on a losing streak and find themselves out of out of
41:05
contention. You see, the one thing that the Cubs have they have a
41:07
great form system, so they can make trades, but they also have a
41:12
lot of a lot of guys on their major league roster that other teams will
41:15
be looking for, so they can have the best of both worlds. You
41:19
know, they can sell if if the if the team tags and if they're
41:23
doing well, they have the pieces to get other other players in. So
41:29
it's just a matter of where they are when we get closer to the deadline.
41:31
Right now, I think they'd be buyers, but still got a long
41:34
way to go to that July deadline. Okay, Well, because there is
41:37
all your tob Fands out there says there's hopefully Cubs white socks. Well,
41:43
you know, Unfortunately they had a tough year. Although I have to tell
41:46
you that an out former announcer, Jason Bennetti, knows to Detroit. Now
41:52
I'm giving you the Detroit reference. C I Cord. Don't say a word.
41:53
Don't say a word, Okay. I was fortunate and have an opportunity
41:58
to talk to Jason for a few minutes photo when I was there covering the
42:00
Marlins and the Tigers. But Jason got out of there before it got really,
42:06
really rough. And on the south side. All right. One other
42:10
unfortunate note we have to look at both sides. A legendary NBA icon,
42:16
Jerry West today died in his sleep at the age of eighty six. Unfortunately,
42:22
never had a chance to meet him on the West coast. Okay,
42:27
but when you have a guy where the logo is practically made from his cutout,
42:32
it's a big loss. And unfortunately the NBA in the last few weeks
42:37
have lost Bill Walton and Jerry West. So, Jerry, you know,
42:42
eighty six years of age, the won to one championship as a player,
42:45
of course, and you're losing to the Celtics. Everybody gives you. Everybody
42:49
gets you a pass and one another as an executive, eight of them to
42:52
get to nine. So Jerry, rest in peace. The NBA is better
42:58
with you than narrow without you. Uh. And this is the sad part
43:01
of our life. You live and then ultimately the shelf life goes away.
43:05
So Jolson talks about Jerry West. We listen. He's a he was an
43:09
icon. He lived a log life. Uh. You know, there's you
43:15
know, it's the way it should be. You live to your mid eighties.
43:19
You know, you experienced the top of your profession. He was one
43:22
of the best of the game. And you know it seems like he went
43:27
peaceful, which is always a good thing. Yeah, sure does. I
43:30
mean you think about it. He ended up working with the An administration,
43:34
with the Memphis Grizzlies, Golden State Warriors, and the LA Clippers, so
43:39
you know, of course you know about his forty years of the Lakers.
43:42
Georgeon talks about Jerry West. Yeah, I mean, what a great ballplayer.
43:46
I mean, I'm old enough to remember when he when he was in
43:50
the last year or two of his playing career, and what a great man.
43:54
Just always always serious. He knew the sports so well. I mean,
44:00
you know, you had John Wooden out there. He had Jerry West
44:02
out there, he had Will Chamberlain, he had these great, great guys
44:06
and coaches and executives he became and I've always admired him. He has been
44:10
somebody that people have looked up to and had respect for for so many times.
44:15
I mean every time the NBA did a special salute, like a fifty
44:20
year anniversary or you know, sixty whatever, seventy years. I mean,
44:23
Jerry's always was. Jerry was always there, always happy to help out.
44:28
And I know things didn't work out at the end with he and the Lakers,
44:31
but like you said, Scott, he got some other jobs, and
44:34
well deserved jobs too, with the Clippers in Memphis, and you know,
44:38
I just he was just pure pure joy to watch his shot, his rebound
44:45
leg skills, and of course being a great guard, he played his position
44:49
so very well. So I echo your sentiments, everybody here rest in peace.
44:53
Well when you think about how good he really was, Okay, here's
44:58
a guy that won the finals MVP as on the losing end of it.
45:02
Yeah, yes, I tell you all right, Candy, I know you've
45:06
researched Harry West a little bit. Do you have any thoughts on it?
45:09
So he led West Virginia University, where he is still the all time leading
45:15
leader in scoring average, to the NCAA Final in nineteen fifty nine. He
45:22
also is what is he? I thought I read? He's what twenty fourth
45:25
and all twenty fifth on the NBA's all time scoring list. He also was
45:34
given let me just get back to it. In twenty nineteen, he was
45:39
awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. He has
45:47
been a basketball icon for many, many years. You know, what can
45:59
I say? He he personified what basketball is all about. Like he was
46:04
mister Basketball, and he played on He played on the different levels, he
46:07
coached on different levels. He'd been on the Olympics. He's actually gonna He's
46:15
in the Hall of Fame as a player. Back in nineteen eighty he was
46:21
shrined as a coach, I believe, and then he will be in shrined
46:25
for the third time later this year. As a contributor and NBA commissioner Adam
46:31
Silver called West one of the greatest executives in sports history, not basketball history,
46:38
in sports history, no doubt about that, all right, Going back
46:43
to Joe ellis real quickly he had an opportunity Friday and night to go to
46:45
Gridiron Greats. Go into more detail about believe that. So, first of
46:52
all, Gridaric Greats is a charity created by Mike Ditka to help former NFL
46:59
player back in the day where you know a lot of these guys don't get
47:04
the pensions like they get now for current NFL players they have the healthcare that
47:08
they have now, and a lot of them were hurting. And they also
47:13
do a lot of great work for veterans organizations as well. So Dicka created
47:19
this organization. So they have their Hall of Fame induction ceremony. They had
47:24
it up in the Regency, the Highest Regency O'Hare on Friday night, and
47:30
I had the honor to host the red carpet for them. I got to
47:35
interview their honorees that night, which were Steve Largent, Mike Singletary, to
47:39
Bora, a little, Vince Papali, the guy from Invincible, as well
47:45
as you know, a bunch of other celebrities that were there. JT and
47:51
the Brick from Sirius, Mike Golick just to name a few. And you
47:57
know, it was just a really great event where they raised a lot of
47:59
money to to give back to help the former players that are in need and
48:04
the veterans groups that they helped that are indeed. You know, I think
48:07
the most interesting part about your evento, Joe, I had to admit,
48:10
okay, seeing you on Facebook wearing his tote and tie. My gods,
48:17
the part I don't Red Carpett I warned that at tire before I don't mean,
48:23
I gotta like it, long before Candy came into the picture. I
48:27
used to get clip on ties. I hated it, but but you look
48:32
good. I'm trying to compliment you. It's dead. Don't ever ever stupid
48:38
when somebody like me complimenting you. You look great. Thank you. Now
48:45
I have to make a confession that you didn't know last night, but I
48:47
goorn. I think heard it or Candy okay, on one of my shows.
48:51
I didn't even know what a meme was. I didn't know what everybody
48:59
and even you know who I had on here, deb Wick has it never
49:01
smile there at about Hatfaxty just text me on Instagram and once a link of
49:07
the show that we just did. Damn, I didn't know what a mean
49:08
was, but I know what FCC is. Hell, let's look great at
49:14
a shirt and die that I'm busting his job. Most people get out of
49:17
me these days is a regular shirt. Of course, Candy, she demands
49:22
it. She knows how to tie the old thing. A jobber doesn't happen
49:24
a lot, but every now and then, when it happens, it's an
49:27
event. So meanwhile, Joe, I'm glad you had a chance to meet
49:30
those people. That just shows the respect that you're gaining in this industry to
49:36
be given such responsibility to come in contact with him. I got to get
49:39
somehow, some way, by hook or by crook. I got to meet
49:43
up with my Golick. He's only two weeks older than I am. He's
49:45
a Kennedy baby like I am. So I got at some point I'm going
49:50
to catch up with golic So. And you know, he was actually born
49:53
in Woollawick, Ohio. Just to show you about my and I actually lived
49:57
at Willawick Driving, Southield, Michigan. Wow. Yeah, that's called research,
50:02
mister Ellison, isn't the encyclopedia at the library. I like to read
50:07
concerns? Okay, Babies like to say Google, Gaga, where got got
50:10
Google? However it is I like to say Google and there you go.
50:15
All right, Well I had to throw it, and don't worry, I
50:17
was worse the hear. I gotta throw everybody one more thing with jobra.
50:21
I hit deb with it and everybody else. Now, I have a different
50:23
kind of religion, So if I have any religious people out there, please
50:27
don't be upset. Okay, but here's my religion. Okay. We all
50:30
know about AC is after Christ and BC is before Christ. Okay, we
50:36
get that. I firmly believe in it. Okay, but I have a
50:38
different version of that. Caters everything custom made to the person. AC to
50:44
me is after caffeine, and BC is before caffeine, and that's the keys
50:50
of gravy train and energy going. So actually, yeah, dev actually was
50:54
asking me what kind of stuff do you go out there and drinks a diant
50:58
mountain dew, and that that is a good when you're in the Carolina as
51:00
you get sun dropping dik Coke is the least potent of the group, and
51:05
of course that doesn't count the red bulls I've had to monsor drink. So
51:07
anyway, for all you folks that are watching on YouTube, thank you very
51:12
much for tuning in tonight. So with that, said, okay, George,
