  Speaker 3: I get to tell you, like, when I was watching it, initially, EMU,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: it looked like one of those nobody's really gonna land
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: anything clean. They're gonna fall to the ice, and it's like,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: all right, it was a fight, but not really.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: And then that last one they're like, oh, okay, we got.

  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So he got him so good that he was partially
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: out by the time he hit the ice. I'm convinced
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of it. And when he got up, I'm like, thank goodness. Right,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you heard me say that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Well, you said something like I don't think he knows
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: where he is right now, didn't you?

  Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't, Yeah, did you? I mean it's that
• 2:21

• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to go, and he's you know, it's that look in
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the eye and it's that that gate that's kind of
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: like woo space space gate.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Most you called the game in Winnipeg, Canada, and now
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: you're here.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I got into the house about two five, two
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: ten in the morning. Yep, how you feel, uh like
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: luggage and cussed? Yeah, I feel like, uh, how do
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you feel about this? Homie? Samson?
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I About a week ago we were wondering, what's going
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: to happen? They are only three points ahead of Dallas,
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Oh my god.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: But now it was one point after they they lost
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: three three.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Three points and everybody's wondering, oh my god, I'm not
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: going to call it over. I'm not going to call
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: the fight over. But that white towels ready to be thrown.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nine points up. Dallas has lost four straight. Now
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the as a one four straight, so you're nine points
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: up with a game in hand.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: That was more worried about Minnesota catching them.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there are only three points up on that
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: and having game in hand on Minnesota, but they're only
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: three points up on them.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Right now. Dallas is to Minnesota as the Avs were
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to Dallas a week and a half ago, and now
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden things change.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: What happened to Dallas? How quickly things can just go?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Well? Did they peak too early? But it's like you
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: in high school, okay, and maybe your freshman year of
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: college when you're.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: My freshman year at college. Man, I talked to a
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: raised scout from Tampa that was like, I'm going pro to.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: That's why you have to wait like I did. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: I athletically, I became elite in my mid thirties, right,
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: you wait?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Which you accomplished?
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: What was that again?
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Two rec League championships at the DC back to back.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I mean that's pretty good.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: The last time I asked you that, your response was
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: lots lots.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Well, that's that's included in that in that wall trophies.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Now, did they did they peak too early? I don't know.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure they're missing Miko Ranton and Tyler
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Sagans out for the year. Miko will be back, I'm
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: guessing tomorrow in Jersey. But nonetheless, I told you after
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the Dallas game. I said to you both, I said,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I something changed in that game.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: You were calm.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I was very calm. That next something changed. They got it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: They they that's that was a snapper outer type of
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: situation and now they're just starting to put things together
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and build.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Well, the way that they won last night, I think
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: it is important because that was a game where the
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: only way you win is dirty, grimy, physical, all that
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: different stuff. And it's what the Apps have been accused
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: of not doing for years, really is can you match
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the physicality of a team that wants to play that
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: type of way? Well, the Avs answered the bell last night,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and can you can you find a way to solve
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: this Hella buck in Winnipeg situation where it's been terrible
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: for them for years? Well?
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: How did you score? I mean the first.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Goal is is dirty and greasy as you're gonna get
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: from Jack Jewelry. I mean, hang out right in front
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: and just keep banging away at it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: It's dirty, filthy, Yeah, dirty filthy, greasy. That doesn't that's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: not that you're not you're not fitting way inari You're Oh,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I want to see greasy, dirty, filthy, raunchy, disgusting, No,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: it's now you're taking it to a place that I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: don't want to take it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: Okay, okay, most you really got a movie trailer voice
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: going on this morning.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I know it's that's the uh can you give me?
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: Can you give me a good this summer?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: This summer coming to a theater near you? It's pretty good.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: The avalanche shift turned things around. The fan base is
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: not panicky anymore. Is Dallas is deep in the rearview mirror.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: No, there is such a overwhelmingly sense of calm about
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: the afts now that did not exist a week and
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: a half ago.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Well, how about our toy looking back in the lineup
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: in vic he throws a pass to the front of
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the net about two and a half feet off the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: ice for the perfect redirect. I mean that was vic.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Let me go back to the eighties, man, all right,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: this is this is for Vick Lombardi in his youth. Dudes,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: that was totally bitching. That was rad, dudes, totally bitchin.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody says that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: People say bitching, that was totally bitching. Oh really, sister
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Mary Elephant with the back of her hand. We weren't
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: allowed to use cursewords on the playground anywhere, ah, anywhere.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: Got kicked out of our class for one week.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Wow, rebel.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Here's the other thing that's really important from last night.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: So they won a game that's that was dirty. They
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: also won that game with special teams. Their their PK holds,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: especially at the end of the game. Winnipeg to zero
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: for four on the power play.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, brock Nelson right out of the right,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: out of the cage. Yeah, it's a gift on a stick.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: He had too much time.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: I think, too much time wide open threes where you're
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: looking around, going, someone gonna let me shoot this.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. He was just thinking about it too much.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: He looked over his shoulder and goes, oh my god,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: ain't nobody here. This is just me doing my thing.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I mean he had a breakaway from center Rice. That
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: was like a breakaway from the blue line. I mean,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: he had all that room in the world.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: But over four.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: On the penalty kill or I'm sorry, oh for four
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: on the power play for Winnipeg. You were four for
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: four of the penalty kill. But you also got another
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: power play goal yesterday. The power play has been it
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: looks a lot miles better than what it did pre
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Olympic breaks.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: And you know what we were talking about it they're
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: getting shots. Yeah, and McKinnon's down on the goal line
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: extended right, Well, that's Marty Nachu's old spot while they
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: traded up a little bit.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Every time I wanted to mention that ahead.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, I just I'm saying I like that because I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: think now you're getting enough success and teams are singing it, Victor.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: They are. I can tell teams are watching the film, though.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I can tell that they are studying what the Avs
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: are doing by how they're behaving. That's why you now
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: now you have the luxury of switching it up again,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: going back to the old way and not preparing so
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: they can't prepare for what your power play has looked
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: like the past couple of games. Now they're switching it
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: up and they're they're doing a good job.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Every time I've wanted to talk about this with you,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: you've been off the show on a plane or something,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: and so I'm gonna bring it up now. Well I
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: have the chance because you laughed at me, You mocked me,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: You mock me, you mocked me. When I watched the Olympics,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: and I said, dude, check you. When they go on
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: the power play, Marty Nachus kind of parks himself in
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: the spot that mckennon's usually on. He's really good at that. Yeah,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I said, do you think the ass thinking about maybe
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: giving him a shot over there? And you mocked me?
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: He said, well, is Nathan McKinnon not good at it? Well,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: it's just try something different. They tried it different.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: It's working.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Nelly. I can't. I can't when you say mock.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Me, you mocked me.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: There was a there was a skit with John Malkovich
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: at Sunday Night Live back in the day.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: I'm John Malkovich.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's but he played like this, Lord, you
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: mock me. You mock me, John. It was if you
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: could find it, Stephen, I don't know.
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: I thought you were gonna go my cousin Vinnie. Are
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: you mocking me?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: No, it's a time, no judge, I'm not mocking you.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Uh see, if you can find that Malcovich and you
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: mock me.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Point is, you mocked me when I said that, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: they ended up doing it.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: They they did. Listen, you would.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Think that, okay, hockey Brett Vick.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: If there's something that Nate loves to do. But Nate
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: just loves to do it too. You think, okay, well
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: maybe you share. Well, it's going to come at the
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: expense of Nate with what Marty wants to do. Oh no,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Nathan McKinnon leads the league in goals at forty eight
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: by far. I mean he's right up there, couch, you're off,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: kutcher off, catches, fire and these types of things where
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: he's got you know, seventy points in two games. You know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: he does these stupid, stupid things.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Three empty netters, right, and.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he does that too. Anyway, he's vaulted to
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the top. Pickles is right there and Nate.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Let's Cole Cawfield, I think a second.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: In terms of goals, yes, yeah, but it's overall point,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: it's come at the expense of nothing. McKinnon is a
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: bad Mamma jama still, and Marty loves to carry the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: pucked up ice. So his ability to do that gives
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: you a different look Vic and it's it's wonderful to see.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: I just like a lot of shots on goal. That's all.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Just just keep going.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: They lead they they've always led the league in shots
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: on goal. It's just that, you know, could they get more?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: If I was the opposition the amount of pucks they fire,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I'd be terrified.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Abs nine point lead now over Dallas as we race
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: towards the playoffs with a game in hand. By the way,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: if here's the next three, by the way, this is
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: what's so great about this. They're nine points up right now.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: They play Winnipeg again tomorrow at home. Then they agree,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: then they play against Vancouver. So you play against Winnipeg,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: you just beat. Now you get them at home. You
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: play against Calgary, who's given up on the air, they're
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: selling tickets that they're barn for seven bucks ahead, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: then you play against Vancouver, who is by far the
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: worst team in the NFL.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: They've already been they've already been eliminated.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: And then you get two days off until you play
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: against Dallas in Dallas to basically salt away this lead.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Let's say let's say you go ahead and win these
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: next three. That's a total of six points. You're gonna
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: get to one hundred and twelve, and then all the
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: most Dallas can get if they win out is one
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: hundred seventeen. Yeah, you own all the tie breakers so
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: all you've got to do if you're the avalanche Vick
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: is get eleven points. You don't have to get twelve points.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: You don't have to finish ahead of Dallas. You can
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: finish Tide and you have all the tie breakers. So
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: you put yourself in a wonderful spot.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Wonderful The Ams right now as healthy as they're getting.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: This is exactly what the doctor ordered, A literal doctor
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: came in and said, we're gonna heal you up in
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: time for the playoff run. We're gonna give you a
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: runway where you can experiment and rest some players a
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: little bit.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Right, And this is exactly what's happened.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Talking to Ross Colton last night, he said, you know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: it's an opportunity now, Yeah, to get our line combos
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the way they should be. Yeah, you know, Nick Wah
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: is not in bad shape. He's in good shape. He's
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: gonna be fine. They're just it's a precaution type of thing,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: and then you can go with what you think is
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: going to work for the postseason. I mean, you can
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: move Val up, move Gabe around, put like you here,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah. It's it's very very nice.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: And this is this is what I was thinking, Cater
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: when when you were talking about the mock.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: If you truly love me, then why do you insist
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: on mocking me? So didn't it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Actually, you know what, because you pulled the crap part.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Hey on, hang on.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I love Malkovich's voice, so it's like, whenever I hear Malcovich,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I'm happy.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Well, then you must be tickled right now.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Uh, let's get to our first matchup in our drop tournament.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: We'll get to the NCAA tournament was great yesterday. Uh,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: in just a second. But it's a one seed, an
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: eight seed, a five seed in a thirteen.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: The one seed from the Brett region is.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: When you have a midlife crisis, you do certain things
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: that sort of go against the grain, things you wouldn't
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: normally do.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: It's adorable. You think you're at midlife.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: So mean that that was good? So mean that was good.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: That goes against an eight seed, which is.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: The knowledge the background, Jeff, That.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Is Dolphins owner Steven Ross forgetting the name of his

  Speaker 2: No.

  Speaker 4: Uh, So, if you want the one seed to move on,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: you text Midlife.

  Speaker 3: It's adorable. You think you're at midlife. If you want
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: the eighth seed to move on, you text Jeff Jeff.

  Speaker 3: If you want the five seed to move on, you

  Speaker 1: And now I have nothing.

  Speaker 5: Could be good mates?
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Well, he said, he's too focused on football. He doesn't

  Speaker 3: that Up'na.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: There's gonna come a time when he does have time
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: for a girlfriend. And there's a certain world class Olympic

• 16:10
  Speaker 2: a country that doesn't give a rip about something, you
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: don't see it.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, no tournament.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Me being in Canada, I'm trying to follow the NCAA
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: tournament on all sports. You know, I'm looking at Toronto's
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Blue Jays backup utility men and that they're doing stories
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Are you telling me Canada doesn't care about Iowa basketball?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: No, it would be like us here in the States.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: The tortoise races from Cook Islands. You know, we don't
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: cover that. Maybe in the Cook Islands it's a big deal,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: but we don't cover the tortoise races from the Cook
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Islands in the US. Of a same thing with Canada.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: We're on the border. We share a border. They couldn't
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: care less.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: At the border. How does it stop streams from getting
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: up there? Like the arch Madness app.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: It's probably geo fenced, right, so.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: It just stops at the border and says no.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I told you the story. This was like four or
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: five years ago. I'm driving back to Nebraska, and I
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: was like, oh gosh, I'm about to get over the border.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I got to throw in some bets for the NFL
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: week and before. Because it wasn't legal in Nebraska, I
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: literally did it. I had to be a minute over
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: the border. I tried to hit it. It wouldn't let
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: me do it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Like it is that specifically, if you turned.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Around a drug back to Colorado, No no. I wish I did,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: but I didn't. Here's the funny thing. So, as you
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: guys know, my wife is a big Husker fan. I
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: had to put the baby to sleep at the end
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: of that game. So by the time I got downstairs,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: the game was done. She yells to me they had
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: four bleeping people on the floor.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: I was watching.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: It's a minute left in the game.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: They're down three. They've already blown a lead. They were
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: up six just recently before.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: They were well in control of the game before Iowa
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: goes on a nine to nothing run.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: And they're down three with a minute left. Iowa has
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: the ball at the baseline, they're going full court and
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: they just throw this lob pass to guys wide open
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: down the court. And it's because four guys were on
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: the floor from Nebraska coming out of a timeout.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Wow, out of a timeout. It's one thing. If it
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: just happens substitution wise, somebody gets confused. You're coming out
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: of a timeout. You're setting your defense. Yeah, you're talking
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: to your team saying, all right, boys, here's what we're
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: gonna do when you get the ball back. Here's what
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: you're gonna do. Somebody what Fred Hoiberg said something? It's
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: on your board, Yeah, get it?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: What do you say?
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: The four men on the court on that final inbound?
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: There's some confusion online about if that's the rules, you're
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: supposed to have five guys on the court? Where deep
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: where the officials supposed to hold the ball before the
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: ball was penciling?
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: Good question, Robin. I've never been in a situation like that.
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: I know they always count to make sure there's not six.
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: I don't know the rule on that with four, but yeah,
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: I mean again, it was a miscommunication, and you know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: unfortunately it happened. But that you know, as far as
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: the rule, I've never been a part of anything like that.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: So don't start counting.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Wait what now?
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: What?
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: So that was the first part I think was a
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: reporter asking the question, do the refs hold the ball
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: until there's five guys on the floor.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Isn't that their job?
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Well, they will do that if you have six, that's
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: the point, and I guess if you have less than five,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: they're like, that's your problem in yeah, which I agree with.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: By the way, if you're dumb enough to only have
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: four guys on the floor, it's not the rest responsibility
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: to fix that for you.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: That game was crazy. There were two crazy games yesterday.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Purdue Texas crazy. Yeah, that one crazy. The Arizona game
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: blowout and Houston couldn't score.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Illinois good. Illinois is good.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: The halftime score that Houston Illinois game was twenty four
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: to twenty two. I'm like, what is this?
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Well housed toll only had like twenty six with what
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: eleven minutes left or and then they started to go
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: on a run, but it was too late.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I've got Illinois good pick in our little game, in
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: our little I don't know how to get back and
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: check my stands.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: One team to watch the they're the United Nations team. They
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: got guys from everywhere.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Texas says at the high school level, as a high
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: school official, we will shout to the bench once and
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: that's all you get. We will say, hey, Red, you
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: got four. If you don't hear us, we give you
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: about a five count. You don't hear us, we.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Go interesting, well, somebody messed up. We're at that point though,
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: where it looks as if when I'm watching a college game,
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: the players look older than NBA teams.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Some of them do.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: I'm serious, yeah, I'm like, oh, okay, this is a
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: very experienced, grizzled group.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Here. Tell you what.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Nebraska and Iowa, both those teams they could shoot.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: That dude from Nebraska that's got the quick release.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I mean so I never I never
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: watched him up until the tournament started.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know who that kid is. I don't even
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: know his name. But it's literally like he.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Does not waste exactly like the like he's allergic to
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: the ball exactly tot.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I wish you no, I feel bad, I can't contribute anything.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: Well, then he just sits there. Listen, But who's who's Burke?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Counsel? Huh, Burke by a console, but talk kunsil for
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Nebraska Burke. But Tiger's not go?
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Is he one of the three point dudes?
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got he's got one of those d'Artagnan type
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: mustaches and a little goat that guy.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: No, he's not one of the three points. Okay, Now
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: who we were talking about was? I think it was Fragger?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: And the other one that lefty for Sandford.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got to hit The other guy is unreal?
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Iowa?
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: They got that kid from Spain. Yeah, who's a baller.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you, man, those games last night were tremendous.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, duty's from Alga, He's from Melaga. I was just
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. Spain, bro Spain. Okay,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: how do.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: You want me to know the answers to your question.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying that, man, he's just from where I was.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Play that again?
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: What batka buke Jet? No chance?
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: I'm saying that right.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Wait, that's that's the Nebraska dude?
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Is that him, Nelly?
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: Yes, this is on Nebraska's website. This is their pronunciation.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Guy buke Jet no chance.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: No, not dude, that's not his name. His name is
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: burke Burg Tunzeldue. Is that mean burke Burg by a tunsil?
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Purdue has that. I don't know how closely you watch
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: the Purdue Texas game. Purdue's got that white athletic point
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: guard that looks like he's half Amish. He's got the
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: half Amish look. The man he can jump, dudey.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: You know what's funny.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: All I thought to myself was because Heiberg's kid plays
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: for Nebraska. Hoiberg's kid looks like somebody you'd create in
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: a video game. Headband, wristbands, like all that difference. He
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: was this tall compared to everybody else. Yeah, exactly, But no,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: you're right. Those are great games produced squeaks by at
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: the very end, offensive rebound tip in they win by two.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: I don't know how anybody's gonna beat Arizona because that's
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: a pretty good Arkansas team, and they just toyed with them.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: They they s what did Arizona shoot like sixty nine
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: percent from the floor or something like that.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: It was crazy, hundred and nine points.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they are just a juggernaut offensively.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Sixty seven to fifty eight from the highest field goal
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: percentage by any team in the Sweet sixteen since Villanova
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: ten years ago.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: So we had that flip. By the way, Freger is
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: the lefty. Sandford's the guy with a quick release. Somebody
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: says freak or Sandford's older brother plays for the Thunder.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Really, what, well he doesn't play if that's the case,
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: probably plays little G League action. I mean, I think
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: we know the Thunder roster pretty well.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know, dude, they got somebody that it feels
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: like every time we play Oklahoma City new guys just
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: have a new guy that I never heard of that
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: screw fifteen.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just comes out of nowhere and all of a sudden.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: What Yeah, Peyton Sandford's on that roster.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: See if he doesn't have a picture on there, so
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: that doesn't bode well for him playing a lot two
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: way guy.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: The NBA, in its effort to prevent tanking.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Oh god, hang on, Moser, look at look at that
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Sanford older brother. Look at his face and tell me
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: what you think. Give me the assessment.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Turn that monitor and let me see the face. Let
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: me get a good let me get a good facial.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'll tell you what. It doesn't look like
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: a basketball player. I think that is what we say.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: That dude looks like an accountant.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: It looks like one of those uh steamrollers went over
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: half his face, right, like he was laying down on
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: his back and the steamroller just.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Hit half of him.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: That bad. What are you to say, Vic, The NBA
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: has unveiled three new plans uh to we eliminate tanking?
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Are you saying this because the Jazz is in town
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: tonight's Do you realize the line tonight on this game?
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: It's the biggest of the season.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Let me guess what's come to thirteen fourteen, eighteen and
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: no way, yes, oh my gosh.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: Utah is not only sitting in its entire starting unit
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: and most of its bench, they're just starting to sit in.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Normal citizens of Utah not allowed to watch.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, dude, Utah's.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: Ushers ushers are sitting.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: So Utah is the prime example for why in the
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: NBA is trying to do these things.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: And I haven't heard these yet.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: By the way, these new proposals for anti tanking, we
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: go ahead.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: You're right. Utah's a prime example because they figure, well,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: we're willing to pay the fine for tanking because we
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: feel it's worth it to get those picks that we want.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: I feel like every sport does.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: So here are the three propositions. I will go through
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: them as slowly and carefully as I can. I've read
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: these twice. You know, those SAT tests, the breeding comprehension
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: portion and where you just sort of look at it
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: sometimes and your binding goes. I have no idea what
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: I just read.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: It was an act guy, but yeah.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know the kind you're looking at it. You
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: read the paragraph, you're.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Like thirty one.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: I have no clue what I just read. Ordal one
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: genius who you should try the l SAT My son
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: had to do the l SATs. Yeah, I could have
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: no idea.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: You should try the dork set.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: I'm going to read to you these three ideas they
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: have for anti tanking, and you tell me which one
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: you like best if you can make out any of this, Okay,
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: all right. Number One, eighteen teams in the draft lottery
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: flattened odds, with bottom ten teams having an eight percent chance,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: the remaining twenty percent odds distributed in decreasing order from
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: eleven through eighteen, and a lottery drawing for all eighteen picks.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: No, that makes sense to me, and I know what
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: they're saying. It's eighteen teams. There's like a flat rate,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: and the top ten teams all have the same chance,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: it's stupid. That's number one, but it's but that doesn't
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: fix anything.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Next one, Next one, Next to proposal. Twenty two teams
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: in lottery using a two year record seed seven to
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: fifteen plus the four first playoff rounds exist in both conferences.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: each season, such as twenty five wins. If a team
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: falls short of the floor, it gets alotted to meet
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: the floor. Top four drawn as part of a lottery
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: as is currently.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, that one was a little bit more confusing, But
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: all I heard was two year record, and I think
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: that's ridiculous.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: Number three, what number three? Eighteen teams and a five
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: y five lottery Bottom five teams have equal odds for
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: the top pick with a lottery form for picks one
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: through five. Bottom five teams have a floor of ten.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: Those that fall out of the top five get sorted
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: in a separate drawing.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, that, out of all of them that you just said,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: that one I think makes the most sense. I just
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: ask this question again, and maybe I'm maybe I'm stupid.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: You are.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, now I am stupid, we are, But maybe I'm
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: way more stupid than even I know than I am.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: I don't understand one of those.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: What are you saying my wife would kick your assets
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: grabble too, Yes, because you're stupid, because I'm stupid.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: How about the worst team picks first.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Because because that's that's that you guys, remember people that
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: takes that's why they have a lottery right now. Well, yeah,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: but the top because the fewest players affect the game
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the most.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Do you remember do you remember when he do it?
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Do you remember when Love Smith was the head coach
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: of the Houston Texans. Yeah? You remember they entered the
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: final week of the season and he's with the number
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: one overall pick. And what did they do that final week?
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I think they won?
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: They won?
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Yea, and they dropped her too, and they fired him
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: because of it. Remember that, Yes? And then they ended
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: up drafting who do you remember.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Ut and everything was fine.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Right, But I'm telling you I understand where you're coming from. It.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: For the NBA specifically, it's just not feasible because the
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: impact that a top pick in the draft can have,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: it affects the effect. But it affects the NBA more
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: than any other league because the fewest amount of players
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: make the most difference. I'm telling you I would disagree.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: If you could, you could be in the baseball draft
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: and take the number one pitching prospect available. No, no, no.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: What you said was it affects the NBA more than anybody.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: It does not affect the NBA more than anybody. If
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: you are a bad football team and you get a
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: really really good quarterback with the first overall pick, that yeah, yeah,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: but it so many more players affect the game on
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: the field rather than just that one guy. Yeah, it
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: obviously really really helps. But I mean, you get the
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: number one picking your draft, Lebron.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Here's here's the problem.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I'm saying that. It's that it's the you get the
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: number one picking Wemby. Well, obviously you know that your
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: your fortunes are a about to friggin turn.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: All of these things that they're talking about with tanking
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: doesn't address one thing. None of them have addressed the
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: most key factor to fixing tanking, which is this, what's
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: the incentivize the incentivization. I don't know what incentivizes these
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: teams to win.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: None of this that has.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Been proposed ever by anybody in the NBA fixes that problem.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: They're trying to get people to win and not lose.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Bottom line, what is the benefit of winning with any
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: of these proposals that they just laid out.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: Bottom line is the lottery classes here is ripe with talent,
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: generational talent. They feel these teams are willing to pay
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: whatever price to get a hold of one of these players.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: Like Dallas got a hold of Cooper Flag. The value
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: of Cooper Flag for Dallas if I got a hold
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: of well given, you know, they feel that having the
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: rights to a player of them. Look at the Nuggets
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: and Joker Joker, they lucked into that essentially right time.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: But I mean, think about what Nikola Jokic has done
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: to the value of the Denver Nuggets. Hold on anyway,
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: I want you to close your eyes thick of Denver
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: over the last ten years without Nikoliokic, then the value
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: and the gravity of what he brings to that franchise.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: But Vick, everybody knows that. Everybody knows that. Right now
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: they have a lottery system. They're talking about making changes
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: to the lottery. Well, now the bottom five teams are
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: going to have the best shot with the next five.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: The next five.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Again, here's the question, if your team is bad, how
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: does that stop.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: You from saying, well, I want to be in the
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: bottom five the lottery.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Tho. Okay, everybody can fix anything. Everybody keeps sending in
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: the PWHL rules. Let me describe the p WHL. That's
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: the Women's Hockey League. This is their plan to eliminate tank.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Can you hang on to this for a second.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Hang on to because we're at.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: The end of our segment. Just remember what you were
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: about to say.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Hang on to it. Describe it me in a minute.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Dude, I'm luggage. This may be all you get, but
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I'll try.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Just hold on.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: Just write it down.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Hold my hand, you.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: Can write this down. Help record this. Hold my hand
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: on this.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: You don't want to touched me on your elbow. The
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: end of your elbow is called your weenness. Let me
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: hold your wienness.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Hold them.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Remember what you're gonna say. We'll get to it in
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: just a second. Okay, back after this, all right, mos.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: So we were just talking about tanking, and I've said
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: that every proposal I've heard from the NBA to try
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: and fix tanking doesn't fix the main thrust of the problem,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: which is an incentive to win.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me give it to you. By the way,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: did you like, speaking of tanking, did you like the
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: movie Fury?
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: I loved Fury.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I loved Fury too with Brad Pitt.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Why is Si shil Above such a whack?
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: He is so good in movies.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: He really is. He's really good in these films, but
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: in real life he seems like a total Have.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: You watched the movie Lawless? I told you to watch it.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I have yet watch Lawless? You'll love it. But he
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: was great as a moon shiner back in the day,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: trying to get away from.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: The four like that. Yeah, that's right up my alley
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: during Prohibition Day, little whisketge Yeah, oh daddylike okay. So
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: here's the story with the tanking, Vicky ready, And we've
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: talked about this before, but literally didn't sync in with
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: you guys. The PWHL uses what's called a gold plan
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: instead of a traditional lottery to determine the draft order,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: eliminating incentives to tank. Non playoff teams earned draft order
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: points after being eliminated, with the highest total gaining the
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: first overall pick. So that means once you get to
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: the E next to your team in the standings, once
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: you get to E, the team that has the most
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: points from that point on gets the number one pick.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: So you would still have a mad dash to be
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the first team to get to the E. Then right
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: as you start earning points right after that? Is that
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: how it works? So you still have tanking until you
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: get to the E I suppose.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: But once you're at the E, everybody plays their butt
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: off theoretically to get the number one pick. Does that
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: make sense?
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Say that one more time.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Teams that are eliminated that as soon as they get
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: the E next to their names. But what if that
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: E doesn't come until like the last week of the
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: SEA I don't know. That says once the team is
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, they begin accumulating points. Based
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: on the league's standard system, the team with the most
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: points after elimination earns the first overall pick. Non playoff
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: teams with the fewest draft order points select seconds. Wait
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: are you saying that then the oh goal? Okay, then
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: their goal is here first. Yeah, but then here's the
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: thing that the team the team that so that then
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: the team that has the lowest gold playing points gets
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: the second pick. So like if you're eliminated two days
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: to go in the season, and you have the fewest
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: points accumulated, you get the second pick.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: So there's a race to get the most and then
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: there's a race to get the least.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is there's no good way to do it.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: This is screw.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: But that would incentivize your e teams.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: How about this, just at the top of my head. Okay,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: no time thought about this. Take a version of that.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Two months left in the season, freeze them points start
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: and teams would make the playoffs. They get slotted in
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: whatever order that they get eliminated from the playoffs, and
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: the teams that don't take the top ten worst teams.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: It's whoever has the most points by the end of
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: the year.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: I'm always about the peer pressure system. Put it on
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: the public. Hey, losers, you like losing?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Jazz would tell you, Vic, right now,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: we love it.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you something right now, Vick, we
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: love losing.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: When I was when it.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Was two thousand and eight and I was watching every
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Lions game with T Willie and they were zero to thirteen,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: you know what I wanted.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Him to do?
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Lose, lose down, lose, Yes, they'd score a touchdown and
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: be like now, what you doing? Dane Olofski runs out
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: of the back of the end zone for a safety.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: They lose by two. I'm like, great, where do you go?
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you should have done it on purpose.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Even though you didn't.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: By the way, speaking of bad teams, happily Opening Day,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: everybody Happy Opening Day.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: I knew you were gonna use you know you can't
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: do that on opening day. Opening Day is about hope.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: It's about optimism. No, you can't segue like that, Vick.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Let me let me help you out.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: They're gonna be bad.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: You got to give me something better than that.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: I got you, No, I got I got I got
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: the nice things to say.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: I got you, I got you, Vic. This year's Rocky
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: they lost one hundred and nineteen games last year. This
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: year's Rocky season is likely to be a bloodbath. Speaking
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: of I'm not doing the vitalent right now. You don't
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: dictate when I do it. You're trying to jump in
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: on his thing again. But that's the only way to sit.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: That's the only way to save it again. That's the
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: only way to save the Rocky season.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Guy has no shame.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: He's a little sleep though. Give him a break a
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: little sleep today.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Last year, how bad were the Miami Marlins? Last year?
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: They were terrible. That's the good news. You're starting a
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: series against the Marlins. You might win a series to
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: start the year.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: That would be great. Last year they well, I mean
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: there were seventy nine and eighty.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Three, but they played good against the Marlins. Last year
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: the Rockies did.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, Rockies lost one hundred nineteen games.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: But they played good against the Marlins. Here's what I
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: was gonna say, Vic. I can't do full optimism because
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: I did that last year and they lost one hundred
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: and nineteen. So I got to dial it back just
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit of true you're at.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: So here's what I think.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: This is the positives that I'm gonna give you for
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: the Rocks going into this year, if you'll allow me.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: I do think that the new people in charge of
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: the organization handled this offseason in a manner that a
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: good organization would handle it.
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: Proactive offseason.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: They knew their situation. They know they're gonna be bad,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: but I'll give you some examples. They're starting rotation, which
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: was terrible last year and rife with injury. Marquez no
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: longer there Sin Setela not part of the rotation anymore.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: That hurts me, man.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: They both kind of stunk motion, not kind of, they
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: did stink.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: They go out and they get Chicano they got, and
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: they get Kingtana they got and they get Lorenzen, all
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: in one year deals, all veteran guys late in their
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: thirties or or you know veterans CROs Well, why would
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: you do that if you're a bad team?
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Very simple. One option, they stink and you'll lose a year. Cool.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Another option is they're good and a playoff team goes, hey,
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: you guys aren't good.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: Can we get him?
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: And you go, yeah, yeah, give me something for it.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: That's what smart organizations do.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: They're now in the fur trading business, yes, and.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: They have pile that with I don't think that they
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: feel like they have young enough arms that are good enough.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Like Dolander's in he's with the Rockies, but he's starting
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: this year in the bullpen. As far as their lineup,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: they're in field. I'm excited about you.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: You're so right though about the fur trading business. If
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: you're going to make those kind of traits, make sure
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: they're veterans who are older, not guys, young guys who
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: have a huge potential.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: It's it's literally a no lose situation. You lose a
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: couple million bucks this year, big deal.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: That's a great way to look at it.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: The infield, I'm very excited about. I love DJ Runfield,
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: what he did at least in spring He hast to
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: major ly get back in his life, so we'll see.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, be careful there. We have not seen him play.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is what I like about him.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: He's a contact guy. I told you his strikeout rate
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: in spring training was like two and a half percent.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Sure that would have been lowest in the MLB last year.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: That's Tony Gwynn type of stuff.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: Kyle carros At third, young kid, a lot of power,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of potential. Love it, shortstops Tovar, we know Tollvar,
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: WBC champion. Keep an eye out by the way for
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: this guy. And I don't know what's going to happen
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: when Tyler Freeman gets healthy. But Willie Castro fun little
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: player as Yes, a lot of swag to him. I
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: think you'll like this guy most. He seems like you're
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: kind of guy swag.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: You You're very optimistic, right now which Okay, it's it's
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: it's opening day.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: Most this is allowed to be happy.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: They aren't winning ninety five.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, happiness is allowed. They aren't winning ninety five games.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: I'm saying young players with potential. That's all I'm telling you.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's also a team again with a lot of
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: these same young players that lost one hundred and nineteen
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: last year.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: They will not lose a one hundred nineteen games this year.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: What's your total?
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Be happy?
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: How about this mosche? I don't think they lose a hundred?
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: How about this bread?
