Ejection, Land Purchase, and MVP_ · Sports Exchange

0:21
You think everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Sports Exchange, just following
0:24
No Limits, great show with Jennifer Lee Cobb. Jennifer does a great john
0:28
speaking out against Parkinson's, and I'll tell you what, We're looking forward to
0:32
having her on more often. In fact, tonight she told me she wants
0:34
to do two of those episodes a month and more than suits me. Fine,
0:37
But meanwhile, Onto the Sports has change. Got our dream team for
0:40
the night. Or to my left Candy Eavely and welcome back Kenny, Thanks
0:44
Scott, great to be here. And to my to my well, my
0:48
left is Candy, the other right is Jacob Christner. Now I mean,
0:53
don't confuse us. I just said one to the left, one to the
0:58
right, and that's Jacob. Okay, Below is George Johnny corn. Hi,
1:02
I'm over here in this square number here, and if you really and
1:06
if you really confuse him, we've got a problem, buddy. I passed
1:10
trying to get all the directions right with this and last not least JB Ellis.
1:15
Welcome back, JB. What's going on, guys land to have you?
1:19
We got time tonight. All right, We're gonna lead off with the
1:21
new York Cakes. They're fifty nine and fifty five in the fourth place all
1:26
least. The question is, is Aaron Boone's ejections seemed to be getting really
1:30
out of control. Is it time for this guy to get fired? My
1:34
gosh, you know, he doesn't have the latitude like an earl Weaver,
1:40
Bobby const or Billy Martin that you can keep getting thrown out all the time.
1:42
I mean, give me a break. So with that said, I'll
1:45
go over to Jacob. It's entertaining, and it's entertaining. It doesn't remind
1:53
you of Billy Martin Alivin. He's probably doing that just because. But yeah,
2:00
it's not just the ejections, it's the fact that you don't the New
2:02
York Gekies cannot be that far down this late. You can't, not in
2:06
the Yankee vill You just can't. You just can't. And they're not leading
2:09
to any significant amount of wins. So that's the big issue with it.
2:14
So yeah, he's he's really gonna have to go. You can if he's
2:16
gonna stay the rest of the year, he can be as entertained as he
2:19
wants to be. But they don't get any more than third place anyway.
2:22
So it's done. I mean, this guy's literally melting, jetting down.
2:25
He really is JB. Well, you can't well, you can't blame it.
2:29
You can't blame it. No got a leadoff hitter, their lid off
2:32
hitters hitting two twenty eight, you know, their catcher two twenty seven,
2:38
the short stop two five. Stanton's hit in two oh three. Judge was
2:43
out for how long? I mean, it's a bad team. This is
2:46
not a very talented team. I saw him last night at Guaranteed Rate trash
2:53
Can, a horrible park, the worst park I've ever seated baseball, and
2:58
make Sha Stadium look luxurious, which doesn't exist anymore, like considering how new
3:01
it is, it's pretty embarrassing. But we'll get to that later. You
3:06
know, it's just a bad team. They spent a lot of money on
3:09
guys that are either hurt with Judge who's been hurt for how long? Or
3:13
Stanton who can't hit. He struck out looking on a great pitch. You
3:19
know, he can't hit a fastball lately. I don't know what's going on
3:22
with him. Their team is just not good and it's a shame to see
3:25
when you spend all that money and food is just not a very good manager.
3:30
He hasn't been that good since they hired him. It's time to go
3:32
in a different direction. There's a guy I know you love, Scott and
3:36
I would love to see manage the team. And I don't know why he
3:38
hasn't gotten the job yet. He probably wouldn't come mid season, so you
3:42
probably gotta wait till the end of the year. But it doesn't look like
3:44
they're making the playoffs this year. And there's only one thing that matters for
3:49
Yankee fans. It's number twenty eight, and we're not getting it even if
3:52
we make the playoffs. So it's a wasted year already. And for that
3:57
person you're referring to is the obvious Don Manningley, right exactly. Yeah,
4:02
No, he met Joe Girardi. I mean Don Manningley should be the next
4:13
manager. I'll be bias or done anyways, I don't care. I go
4:15
ahead, George, Hey, listen, you know last Daz to me is
4:20
one of the best umpires in baseball, and what he did to show him
4:25
up the other day was just disgusting. He's lost it. I agree,
4:29
he's lost it. He's he's going crazy. He's doing foolish things to get
4:33
ejected and showing up the umps and everything else that goes with it. JB
4:39
hit it right on the head. I mean, they got guys and Jacob,
4:41
you know, they got guys in that lineup that you know don't belong
4:45
there. I mean, I hate to say it, but it's like a
4:46
Detroit Tigers lineup, but we got guys hitting two twenty two, ten,
4:50
two oh five, you know. And that's not the Yankees. I mean,
4:55
we got our own problems with with baseball here at Detroit, but the
4:59
yan Keys, No, that's not acceptable. That's not acceptable, and especially
5:03
in the Al East when we know how damn competitive it is. As far
5:06
as I'm concerned, they ought a railroad cashman and boon out of there as
5:13
soon as the season is over. It's a shame what's happened to that organization
5:16
this year. And obviously the talent is not there, drop offs by so
5:20
many of the players they counted on. But again, the roster was not,
5:26
like you said, it was not full of enough talent, enough hitters
5:30
and pitchers. Obviously, candy in a day and age where we pay millions
5:39
of dollars to sports figures, we think that these veteran players that have deserved
5:46
good contracts, but that they're always going to perform, and we talk about
5:54
hitters and batting averages in the two hundreds. I recently heard, and I
6:00
don't remember, Scott, I know it was on one of your shows,
6:02
and I think it was a little while back, where someone said that hitting
6:08
has not kept up with pitching and that pictures are way ahead of the hitters.
6:15
And it just makes I mean historian franchise like the New York Yankees,
6:20
who have spent millions of dollars. They have some of the best, some
6:25
of the highest paid talent. And I'm not saying that that talent is good
6:30
talent anymore, but some of the highest paid talent isn't keeping up with the
6:34
pictures the show. I mean, like, let's face it, show,
6:36
hey, Otani is a once in a lifetime player, but look what he's
6:42
doing, both on both sides of the ball. I wonder why his batting
6:46
is so good. Is it because he's a good pitcher and he knows the
6:50
ins and outs from being a pitcher. Possibly, But here's the thing.
6:57
The one thing I say about this, this is telling you where the Yanks
7:00
are even when they made the Alcs. Recently, let's tell you where they're
7:03
at for about two decades, maybe twenty five years. For that amount of
7:10
time, you have a guy like Shohatani around, it's almost guaranteed he's going
7:15
Yankees. It's almost guaranteed. Now we're talking. It could be it could
7:21
be any of a number of teams. It could I mean, says the
7:25
Zuki's of the Cubs. It could be that if they keep going well,
7:28
it could be any of those Orioles. I mean, it could be anyone
7:31
now. And that tells you how far the Yankees have fallen when they're not
7:34
a number one or a guarantee. But that also tells you how far the
7:39
other teams have come too. And you know, I think that's that's better
7:44
for the game because I think that means that there's more teams out there,
7:46
there's more teams in it, as opposed to always hearing, oh, it's
7:49
always the Yankees, It's always the Yankees. Should Boone get get the acts?
7:58
I think his antics when when I saw what he did to the ref
8:03
and that theatrical whatever display, He's had managers come call him and say,
8:09
what was that? Like, you're on display. You have so many people
8:16
out in the stands, out in the TV audience watching that, like you
8:20
have kids. Even what kind of role model is that? Exactly? You
8:26
know, And like I said, you know he's showing up on pires.
8:28
He's he's acting immature. There's a right way and a wrong way to discuss.
8:35
Hey, I don't agree with that call, ye can I get it,
8:39
But theatrics, I I think it take it to to a level that
8:43
he shouldn't have taken it to. And even he emits it. You Candy,
8:46
the key word that you said is antis ahead Jamie. That's one thing
8:50
to argue, I mean, you know you're paid to defend your team and
8:54
argue balls if they're wrong. It's another thing to act like a petulant child
8:58
who came to his job and he hasn't been able to do his job all
9:03
year. That's why they were second to last place, virtually last place.
9:07
You know, would have Bolston team that's not nearly as talented as what the
9:11
roster the Akes have. It's disgraceful. It's a joke. Yep. Exactly.
9:18
Yeah, I mean you know you know I'm gonna pull it down manningly
9:22
away anyhow, and I hope that. And Brian Cashman, though, does
9:24
deserve a lot of criticism for what's taking place as well. I hate to
9:28
say this with a guy that I really like, DJ Lemayhew is certainly underperformed.
9:33
But I had the good fortune of interviewing DJ Lemayhew when he was playing
9:37
for the Toloranto Rockies. Is from the Detroit area. So yep, one
9:41
point before we go on to the thing I wanted to say, we think
9:45
about we think about, like, no Aaron Judge for that long, you
9:50
know, and you think about this and it's like, just how bad of
9:52
a manager is Aaron Boone? Because there was Aaron Judge, And it's like,
9:58
didn't you think about, like say, a Dusty Baker and that kind
10:01
of bit. Who's had Who's had the injuries that he's had that of Aaron
10:05
Boone's had, He's had many of them. Over twenty five years, many
10:09
or twenty eight or whatever, He's had many of these things, and yes,
10:13
what he just worked around it and he's over two thousand wins, just
10:16
kept going to the one division titles with many injuries everything like that. That
10:20
is what managing is. It's not just placing your best player in there.
10:24
It's like you've got to adapt. It's obvious he's not adapting well. Baseball
10:28
is one hundred and sixty two games season. Injury he's gonna happen all day
10:31
long. Question it is how you deal with them, and that's some teams
10:35
make out better. Listen, even the Miami Marlins for a period of time.
10:39
Also a lot of arms which are still hanging in there. We'll see
10:41
what happens later on next topic, UNC Kansas schedule regular season games or twenty
10:48
twenty four twenty five. The first meeting will be November eight, twenty twenty
10:50
four, and Lawrence, Kansas, the second November fourteen, twenty twenty five,
10:54
and Chapel Hell. All right, Jacob, to me, this is
11:00
doubtingly the Roy Williams Bowl. But now, really these two programs, Larry
11:05
and Browns coach at both these are just unbelievable programs. And I'm glad to
11:09
see that they're gonna be playing in the regular season a couple of years out.
11:11
What do you think? He said? The biggest thing about it is
11:15
I've been having I admit this, I've been having system issues because your sound
11:20
went down from May end. Can you repeat that I want to make sure
11:22
that's all. Say, no problem, I'll go over it again. UNC
11:26
Kansas are scheduling regular season games for twenty four twenty five. First meeting will
11:33
be November eighth to twenty four and Lawrence, Kansas. Well. The second
11:37
one will be November fourteen, twenty five in Chapel Hill in North Carolina.
11:39
Where your thoughts about these two teams classic? That's I mean, these are
11:45
classics, and it's like the biggest thing about it is effect. The only
11:48
thing I don't like about it. It's not the nineties over the early two
11:52
thousands. The only thing is because we could because most of the time now
11:54
you're seeing one and done. It's still great programs, it's still gonna be
12:00
great ball games, but it's one and done players. These are the type
12:03
where you want to see. I'm just gonna give it as an ad say
12:05
you want to see Danny Ferry, you want to see Jerry Stackhouse, you
12:09
want to see them. I'm just using Duke in Carolina, but you give
12:11
my point. You want to see you want to see Danny Manning. You
12:15
want to see these players play two or three straight years against each other for
12:20
for a kind of a game like that, so you've probably gotta go get
12:22
that anymore. It's one and done. But the biggest thing about it it's
12:26
still it's ratings. It is ratings, and it's gonna get well. Whether
12:31
it's on the ESPN or CBS or any of those things. You want those
12:35
right off the bat. You don't want the crappy you don't want you don't
12:37
want the jacks will school for the blind in game two or three. You
12:41
want the big games right off the bat, especially for television. Ok jab.
12:48
One of the things you have to thank Gonzaga for back where they were
12:52
having trouble getting into the tournament if they didn't win their conference, they started
12:56
scheduling everybody they could on their schedule, and you saw bigger teams start to
13:01
place he play each other more that ESPN did the whole thing with the you
13:07
know, having the big games at the beginning of the year. Now it's
13:11
more common place for these top notch schools to play each other and it's a
13:15
great thing to see. You know, I wish that more of these types
13:18
of games outside the conference. There's nothing better that having two good teams play.
13:24
It just makes the season even better. Well, I'll say one thing
13:26
before I turn over to George. Michigan State and Tim Iszel do a great
13:31
job scheduling these Marquis opponents. I mean, Tom Izzo doesn't care. He'll
13:35
play the Blue Boods all day long, and now will turn over to George
13:39
Great great by stick of like Scott that that was one of two points I
13:45
was gonna make. Absolutely I couldn't agree more. I mean, Izo has
13:50
done this, as you guys know, for years and years and years to
13:54
toughen his boys up, to make them ready for the NCUBA Tournament, Big
13:58
Ten Tournament postseason. Izzo has a magic formula that way, and I really
14:03
like it, and I know he gets a lot of respect around college basketball
14:07
for doing that kind of scheduling. My only thing is what took them so
14:11
long? Kansas and and C Well, it took you guys so long.
14:16
And of course money talks. Of course, television contracts talk. But I
14:20
mean, my god, these are two of the greatest programs of all time.
14:24
They should be meeting on a semi not every year, but SMI routine
14:30
basis unless they're playing each other. Obviously in the postseason that's different. But
14:35
yeah, I'm very glad to hear about this. But take a clue from
14:39
our boy and East Lansing, and he's been doing it for years. It's
14:41
all I can say. Well, Izzo, the thing about Iszoe is if
14:46
it wasn't for the deals that they make with these with these mid schools,
14:50
but they'll be able to give you know, to give them the money to
14:52
be able to you know, there are you know, boosters, boosters out
14:56
there, you know those deals. If there wasn't for that, he probably
14:58
played blue buds everything time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oil, turn
15:03
over candy. I think it's just good for the game. Let's face it,
15:09
these college towns, they're historic, and I think, as I mean,
15:16
I think football could almost take a step back and say, you know
15:18
what because when you look at football, they play when they're doing their preseason,
15:24
they're playing their their games. What they're winning seventy seven to nothing.
15:30
Instead, they should start playing some more quality too, because I think basketball
15:33
is getting it right by putting two historic franchises playing. Yes, is it
15:39
all about money, of course it is, because let's face it, money
15:41
is driving and driving all of this to start. They need to pay they
15:48
need the money to pay for all these ni out contracts and stuff like that.
15:52
So is it good for the game, of course it is, but
15:54
it is money driven. Okay, well you know what On this day,
16:00
August ninth, nineteen eighty eight, Wayne Grizky was traded to the La Kings
16:04
My Goodness to trade her around the world and then sim R and then some
16:10
Jacob Wayne Grisky in La my Goodness or in the words of or in the
16:18
words of Jack Emberg Oh my, okay, well, oh my, yeah,
16:26
Horman waiting to hear from you. Okay. It was nineteen years old
16:30
when that happened, and I was like, I literally a y'all dropped.
16:36
It's like, he's Edmonton. You know, he is Edmonton. That's what
16:40
he is. It's like it's forever. You don't expect and you know,
16:42
the King's people waking up in the morning, you know, it's like what,
16:48
no, no, no, you're messing with no. But the thing
16:51
about the change hockey forever, because it gave everybody a chance. They gave
16:56
everybody chance. You weren't gonna ever. You gotta realize. A couple of
17:00
years later, a few years later, Messier went to the after he got
17:03
basically after he got his final Stanley couple with the ko with the Oilers.
17:07
You know, it was ninety he went to the Rangers. You know,
17:11
it's like he went to the Rangers, you got all these players. It's
17:15
like years later you'd get Gretsy going to the Blues for a rental with Hall
17:19
and Shanahan and all of them, which I was, I was the teenager
17:25
going, who we're gonna take it now? Of course not. And Gretsy
17:26
gets picked and double overtime. But it's like he goes which you would never
17:33
believe a guy of the cawber of Gretzky would go to Saint Louis, you
17:37
know, a smaller town like Saint Louis. But that whole trade made every
17:42
part of that possible. I mean it just it was a domino effect and
17:48
that was forever. And it was basically because Peter Poplington. It was Peter
17:52
Pocklington and you know, everything which way and all everything with his money and
17:56
he and they threatened his life, They threatened his child that day, threatened
18:02
everything, his house, they getting everything because he did that. No one
18:04
could believe it. But yet the Edmonton Oilers won a Stanley Cup. So
18:14
there you go, all right. JB. We've left the filet here.
18:17
What do you want to put on his filet? So I mean, listen,
18:21
Wade Gretzky was hockey at that point in nineteen eighty eight. Hockey was
18:26
a dead sport. You know it's not It's still not the most popular sport.
18:32
What better way to bring up hockey that have the best player and one
18:36
of the biggest markets. You know, it was great for the game.
18:40
It's horrible for the sport. Great for the game because you don't want to
18:44
see a guy and Edmondon had great success when he him a messier. That
18:48
team was together, but you don't ever want to see that guy leave.
18:52
But at the same time, you need a league and him going to LA
18:56
just enhances the image of the league. You have him in the one of
18:59
the nicest cities of the world. Well, there's always great. You try
19:03
to get people a cupwatch hockey. And he's one of the biggest markets of
19:07
the game now, so I get it. I don't know much of the
19:10
backstory as far as the advntant owner as like Jacob, I was a young
19:14
kid when that happened, but I see all the reasons why it was great
19:17
for the NHL. A great for Gretzky, George. Yeah, I was
19:22
just a surprise Scott as everyone was. I mean, like you said,
19:27
JB, I mean he was mister Edmonton, mister oiler, and I thought,
19:33
you know, back in those days, you know, teams tried their
19:36
best to keep guys around obviously as long as they could. Of course,
19:38
he had a great success. I'm not discounting that in Edmonton. That was
19:42
great for hockey, especially Canada hockey, Canadian hockey. But you're right,
19:48
I mean, other than New York, the top market obviously La and the
19:52
Kings, I believe Jerry bust didn't he own them at the time at that
19:56
time. I believe Bruce mcnal did. Oh Bruce, okay? Okay?
20:00
Was that did did Jerry? Did he buy it after then? Or they
20:03
buy it before they was the traded to mcdal like and it SOLDI mcnal well,
20:08
I believe mcnal came after a bus if I remember, okay, okay,
20:14
I couldn't remember it, Yeah, I don't. Yeah. Needless to
20:18
say, they needed a bundle of money and obviously to to make this happen.
20:22
And but of course he fit right in with his gold locks and the
20:26
Hollywood scene and everything like that. I mean, obviously, when you think
20:29
of LA, you think of somebody like him going there, you think of
20:32
a Magic Johnson going to LA. You think of well, now, to
20:37
a certain extent, Matthew Stafford. But I was, I was quite surprised.
20:41
Obviously, the Canadian audience was really upset. I can remember the guys
20:47
on Hockey Night in Canada, their weekly show, talking about the fact that
20:51
that he would skip town and go down to southern California. But all that
20:56
being said, we had we had many, many years with Gordy how here
21:00
in Detroit even he ended up going with another team, the Whalers, so
21:03
I mean, and then the Houston Arrows of the WHA and all that.
21:07
So it's not surprising nowadays superstars do move around, especially the last Gretzky was
21:14
still in his prime when he moved around. A lot of them wait,
21:15
as we know, till the end of their careers. But yeah, it
21:18
was. It was quite an amendous occasion. Like you said, hockey was
21:21
really trying to put its best foot forward back then. Well, just think
21:26
of it this way. It turned Janet Jones from a sixth raded actress to
21:30
a fifth. Yeah, I heard God'll go to La full time. All
21:37
right, Candy, I know what Ursy of Wisconsin has a great hockey program,
21:41
But what are your thoughts about this? The trade, which caused chaos
21:45
in Edmonton and left all of Canada in disbelief, redefined player movement throughout sports.
21:53
Every trade made in its wake, no matter how monstrous or unthinkable,
21:59
could now be explained logically. Well, if Wayne Gretzky can be traded,
22:03
anybody can be traded. None of that, though, made the day of
22:07
the trade any less surreal. Gretzky, Oilers owner Peter Pluckington and coach general
22:15
manager Jen's Glenn Sather sat up fan hear a pin drop press conference, trying
22:23
to explain to many what was unexplainable. Gretzky dissolved in tears as he spoke,
22:30
I'm disappointed with leaving Edmonton. I enjoyed living here and I love the
22:34
fans. He said he was too choked up. He goes, I told
22:42
Oilers I wouldn't do this, but he choked up by emotion. There comes
22:48
a time when and he left the press conference because he couldn't continue on because
22:55
he was so emotional as well well let's face it, there have been how
23:00
many people that have left big names that have left big teams to move on.
23:06
I mean in all the sports it happens. Teams need to move on
23:11
sometimes because they need they need young players, they need to unload contracts because
23:17
they're not going to be able to afford contracts going forward. It's the nature
23:21
of the business, unfortunately. Yeah, you know the amazing park about all
23:25
of this, Okay, Wayne Gretzky going to LA open up Marcus and Phoenix
23:30
as well as the West Coast. But yeah, you know who I still
23:36
think the best coach in La King's history is Marcel Dion. So you know
23:44
how shocking it was talked about it is when Wayne was retiring and he was
23:51
at the Rangers, I am shocked they didn't go one more years to divide
23:53
to the Oilers and go back one more year. Yeah. Yeah, Marcell,
23:57
Deon and me left Detroit, went to LA and had an incredible career
24:03
with it. That was a big loss Scott for the Red Wings. That's
24:06
a whole nother story. Yeah, but these guys don't know our story.
24:08
I'm just saying the best player Thanking history because when I sell Dean I'll leave
24:14
it with that. But the one guy who could not do anything for hockey
24:18
in Arizona was Wayne Gretzky because he went there. So what that said.
24:22
The Arizona Coyotes owner, chairman and Governor Alex Morello has executed a letter of
24:30
a GM to purchase a parcel of land located in Mesa, Arizona, to
24:37
take a potential site for a sports arena and entertainment district for the club.
24:44
Is there a reason for optimism? Jacob Christner, Okay, that the Coyotes
24:48
will stay there. I don't know what the background noise is, but I'm
24:52
trying to compete with it. That was part of the last question about the
24:55
thing that was listening. I heard this one. No, not they entertainment
25:00
thing. That's for the owner. That's truly for the owner. That gives
25:04
them a couple of three years, that's for the owner. That's remember I
25:07
would be then talking about over and over and over and over about different things
25:11
that it's real estate now with the ownerships that make all of this, that's
25:15
what that's what helps with all this. But that keeps them there a couple
25:19
of three years, four years, whatever, But it's not going to do
25:23
any good as far as it's because because if they're bad, but the fans
25:27
will not be there. Fans are just not going to go regardless of the
25:32
thing. It's going to keep their attention for a minute. But y'all remember
25:34
everybody's attention. You gotta realize at ball games now and a hockey games.
25:38
At baseball games, they are looking at their phones now. They you don't
25:42
get the same. Like I remember when the Cubs won the World Series.
25:47
I wanted I'd rather have been in two thousand and three when that place was
25:49
caving in. You know what I'm talking about, JB. When the place
25:53
was caving in from the carry Wood Homer or voyse Alu and gave seven.
25:59
I'd rather they would to one at then it was wonderful and sixteen. But
26:02
people are doing this all the time, so everybody is so attached and they
26:07
are so much distracted that if they're not winning, no one's gonna care.
26:12
Okay. And before before I go to JB, I just want to make
26:15
sure I get this out there. Because Sports Exchange is being broadcast around the

Our Twitter information is at Tribute in South Kady Emiling is normally behind the

27:00
to you about the Coyotes and Masa. Will it happen? You know?
27:06
Probably not. The Coyotes are such a disorganized franchise. Nothing seems to go
27:11
right for them. I think the best thing for for Arizona is to move.
27:18
I don't think they care enough about hockey spending all that money out an
27:22
arena that they don't need, because they already have the talking stick Arina if
27:26
it's still called that in downtown Phoedix. You know you're gonna spend all that
27:30
money out an Areta and Mesa for a team that's not gonna draw enough fans
27:34
anyway. Just move somewhere where they want to have the team and hopefully try
27:40
to put together a winner so that the order will make money and they can
27:42
put together the right the right team and do well. I just don't think
27:47
it makes sense. Yeah, I mean, they botched that situation. Glendale's
27:51
so bad. They really did. Candy and I went to a game one
27:55
time. I saw nothing wrong with the arena. I really didn't. But
27:56
I understand having being a former Phoenix resident as I was going from the East
28:02
Valley and the West Valley's a long drive and you guys saw a super Bowl
28:06
out there, so it's not easy. It's a very big city. It
28:08
spread out. George, Yeah, Scott, you and I have talked about
28:14
the situation with the Coyotes for various reasons over the years, and yeah,
28:18
I can't put much credence. I'm sorry they have let people down so many
28:23
times. Next to the Oakland Athletics situation, I think it is the worst.
28:29
Obviously that Gary Bettman and the NHL governors are dealing with right now,
28:33
because I agree with you, JB. I think they'd be better off folding
28:37
up the tent moving somewhere that really wants them. Hey, trust me,
28:41
I know it's hot down there, okay. You know, and obviously the
28:45
Cardinals and obviously the Phoenix Suns and you know, the Arizona Diamondbacks. They
28:52
got three pro teams. I mean they got three good teams most of the
28:55
time, not champions, but you know, they got three good teams.
28:59
And I just think, you know, the hockey has been the odd man
29:03
out, the odd team out over there for a good number of years.
29:06
I mean there's some interest, obviously, but it's kind of I related to
29:10
the Atlanta situation where twice they went to Atlanta the NHL and it failed both
29:15
times. So yeah, I don't think so, Scott. I think MACE
29:19
is going to fall through. I mean, they've gotta to bind themselves some
29:22
time. But the better they get out of there, the sooner I mean
29:26
they get out of there, the better it's going to be into a city
29:27
that would really welcome and love them. Yeah, but they've been awful on
29:33
the ice, they really have. I mean, you know, yeah,
29:34
the product I expect the team to get embrace in their bad every year,
29:37
and they keep shedding good players. You can't expect anybody they catch on with
29:42
that, you really can. But I understand, you know, the honeymoon
29:47
period never began because they moved into the wrong arena in the first place.
29:49
And I've written about this. I've always said that the Coyotes should have moved
29:53
in the Arizona Memorial Coliseum, the former home of the Phoenix Suns, and
30:00
that of where they moved in, that was the worst arena America West for
30:03
them to even be there, And the pr and I had were at Oyes
30:06
And obviously I never went back after the second time because that stadium was awful.
30:11
I mean it was really bad. So yeah, it's been dysfunctional from
30:15
the beginning. But I expect a team to embrace you well, when you're
30:18
losing all the time, you just can't. Well let's can you change?
30:21
Well, Scott, you've brought it up your very very early point, bringing
30:25
it up about the place has all the stuff around it, all the amenities,
30:29
all the distractions, all the everything like you were bringing up earlier.
30:32
Yeah, you have to say something like that to try to get them because
30:36
they don't have the wins and they don't have the teams and they don't have
30:38
all that. And it's like, like I said, it would be a
30:42
three four year delay to be able to go before you go to a quote
30:47
unquote Quebec or wherever it's going to go or whatever you could do, it's
30:49
going to. It's going to be that way. And then you want to
30:52
know something that that whole district, the owner is still gonna make his money
30:56
off of it. That's the thing. It's all real estate. It's like
31:00
even if he goes, they're gonna make money off that because he owns that
31:03
real estate around that. So that's all that's going to be is when you
31:07
bring that up, because it's sure you couldn't have a situation like in Miami
31:11
with the Marlins. You don't have a lot around You couldn't have that over
31:12
there because you don't what would agree with it? Okay? I mean,
31:17
Katie, well, you know we've been in Arizona, were at the area
31:21
we have we have he executed a letter of intent to buy. The move
31:26
comes months after voters in Tempe rejected a referendum to construct an arena there.
31:33
Now, if you had such big fans and you were so drawn and the
31:38
market is so good, Then tell me why you are starting your second season
31:45
at a five thousand seat max arena. If you wouldn't, you wouldn't you
31:52
wouldn't settle for that if you were a really good team and could draw and
31:56
you wanted to make a lot of money, because let's face it, that's
31:59
what you're supposed to be doing. When you're a team. You want to
32:00
go to the biggest avenue and have the biggest arena, not a five thousand
32:07
and this is the second season you're gonna play in a five thousand seed arena.
32:12
You realize the MLFS, which is still growing, would it put a
32:16
team in a five thousand ceed arena? The NHLs one of the big four
32:21
and they have one of their teams playing in a five thousand team. That's
32:25
that's a disgrace. It is absolutely laughing. Phoenix has had a team since
32:35
nineteen ninety six when they came from Winnipeg. They are now in their what
32:39
fourth stadium? I think third? Well they played in Phoenix, downtown Phoenix,
32:46
Glendale, and Tempe and now they're in yeah, yeah, right,
32:52
oh, third, third, But you know what that that situation is laughable.
32:55
JB. That's all I can tell you. It's horrible. That's why
33:00
speed arena that looks like the story modes. And I'm sorry, go ahead,
33:02
you're galunting people with a five thousand area. I'm just anxious to see
33:07
what Gary Bettman has to say about this. I mean, you know,
33:09
he's done. To Betman's credit, he's done everything he can to keep hockey
33:13
in Arizona. But at some point, when you're throwing the white towel,
33:16
the owner doesn't want to do it though, he wants to still stay there.
33:21
That's the thing. You can't tell him to go if he's willing to
33:23
try anything. But at some point something's got to happen. Well well,
33:27
but we'll keep an eye on the stories that progresses, because if anybody ever
33:31
needs to laugh at something, look at the Arizona Coyotes situation and there's your
33:37
laugh of the day. Okay, the five thousand he looks like one of
33:42
the story modes in a video game where you've moved up to that next arena,
33:45
and you moved up to the next team in the minor leagues before you
33:49
get to the big time. Yeah, you know. Let me just say
33:52
this. Let's have a little fun with this, Okay, It's not like
33:54
the Jeffersons or we are moving in a d Let's apartment in the sky to
34:00
recall it whatever. I don't know where I came up with that one,
34:01
but boy, it just seemed good to get it out there. And my
34:06
partner and when hernands, he never knows where they come from either, So
34:09
I don't feel too bad. Only Candy can tell you that, all right.
34:13
Next topic, Former Mass coach Rick Carlisle thinks that Luca don Chich will
34:16
win the MVP this season. Is this two premature, Jacob, Yes,
34:22
yes, because they're already talking about they're already talking about you already have Kyrie,
34:29
you already have that, And they're already talking about putting it hard and
34:31
trying to get hard into Dallas. Which would be three guys that want to
34:36
hold the ball, three guys that don't want to pass it, three guys
34:39
that I mean, it's gonna be a mess out there. And as far
34:45
as MVP, you got to remember a lot of these teop playing the guys
34:47
that go to MVP and stuff. It's not gonna be a forty three and
34:51
thirty nineteen or forty two and forty. That's the issue, and that's really
34:54
what they are. I think he's closer to leaving Dallas, and he is
34:58
getting MPP, JAM, MVP, you know, six men, Coach of
35:08
the Year all means nothing. Give me the Larry O'Brien trophy at end of
35:14
the year. That's what matters. Do I want to see Luca play you
35:16
know, seventy to eighty two games? Yeah, because he's fun to watch.
35:21
Do I care if he wins MVP? No, Durant's an MVP.
35:24
Durant runs away from every challenge he's ever been in. He couldn't stay in
35:29
Brooklyn because you know, you can't play hard, you know hard. It's
35:31
not good enough for him, Kyrie, the guys he wanted weren't good enough
35:35
to win a championship. So let's run away again. Now he's defeating you
35:38
know, he's an MVP. I don't want to be part of that group.
35:40
I hope Luca doesn't, you know. I want to be part of
35:44
the group like Steph Curry that cares about winning championships. Lebron James, as
35:46
much as I dislike him, he cares about getting that Trophy at the end
35:51
of the year. Nothing else matters. M VP means nothing. Who cares.
35:57
Yeah, I like Rick Carlisle. I've worked with him before a great
36:00
which won a championship. But this is one time where we disagree, all
36:02
right, George, Yeah, I agree, JB. And guys these individual
36:08
awards, Okay. I know there's incentives written into their contracts for All Star
36:14
games, Pro Bowl games, league trophies and all that stuff, But I
36:17
could care less right now. I mean, yeah, he's a great player,
36:22
and yeah they have a good chance to win with him, but there's
36:25
so many other great players out there too, I mean, you know,
36:29
And you've got to put the personal stuff aside sometime if you won't really want
36:34
to be a team as they say, there's no I in team, and
36:37
you really need to just focus on clicking as a unit as a team,
36:43
as a rotation in and out of the lineup. Whatever the coaching staff designs,
36:47
the plays, the winning plays. You want that first. That's first
36:52
priority, getting the W and then, like you said, JB, you
36:57
know, the championship. Do you care more about the O'Brien hoisting the Larry
37:00
O'Brian Trophy as opposed to the MVP Trophy. But I agree, I mean,
37:07
I mean, yeah, of course he's a contender for it, but
37:09
I'm not going to speculate on whether he's gonna win it or not. And
37:14
to me, it doesn't matter. I just look to see who who's the
37:16
best team to win the NBA and win the championship in a place to O'Brien,
37:22
they Candy. The season hasn't even started and we're talking about somebody that
37:31
is an MVP. Wait what what as a coach you want to you want
37:37
to create not separatism, You want to create a team. You want to
37:43
have everybody gel. You want to talk about your team as a whole,
37:46
not individuals. The trophies they'll come, they'll speak for themselves with your play.
37:54
But you don't even know, and I don't want to jinx Luca.
37:59
He could be injured, he could get hurt, right, something could happen
38:02
and he might not even play half the season. So is it too early?
38:07
Is it too premature? Yes? Yes, yes, by all means,
38:10
you're just trying to get people to talk. You did what you wanted
38:15
to do. You got people to talk about it. Now when it's baseball
38:19
season and start of the NFL season, But here we are talking about NBA.
38:25
Now, yeah, you got us talk about premature, about what do
38:29
you want? Or news organization. We have to dress a good bad ugly
38:32
and this one happens to be ugly. So I well, I have another
38:36
topic which isn't so good either, but we have to talk about it.
38:39
X Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs. The third of sentence a three to ten
38:45
years for a fatal d I crash. So, Jacob, is this sentence
38:50
way too light? Yeah? But it makes me sad because I just as
38:59
someone see this is me answering a question, as just asking a question.
39:04
I just want to know, as I understand, we've talked about mental health,
39:07
We've talked about pressures, We've talked about this stuff on Pundit's pundit,
39:12
you know all that. The thing I have to ask. I mean,
39:15
he's twenty four years old. I just want to know. See, you're
39:20
talking to somebody who is literally never been drunk in his life. I don't
39:24
literally never been. I don't know what that. I've probably had six beers
39:30
in my life. I'm just asking what is the thrill to all this?
39:36
To over saturating yourself like that and then there's uber so then that's his fault.
39:40
But what I mean, what does he have to think about to just
39:45
have to keep constantly saturating himself over and over and now he's going three to
39:52
ten, which what you know, at the end of his career anyway,
39:54
we know this part. But really, if he's been pulled over before and
40:01
then he's done this now should be twenty five. But he's probably not even
40:05
go do three to ten. He's probably gonna get a good behavior in there
40:07
somewhere. But I just have to ask. Maybe I'm acting like a ten
40:12
year old here, but I'm going to ask this, what does a multi
40:16
millionaire need to do? What is the thrill and oversaturating yourself like this over
40:23
because if you know he's done it over and over and over and over again,
40:27
I just want to know this from and there's more than Henry Rugs out
40:30
there, and you just have to wonder, how does this help you?
40:34
That's all I have to ask, Thank j. So the fact that he
40:39
was drinking, I have no issue with. You know, it's legal and
40:45
you're allowed to drink. If you want to drink, people you know should
40:50
be more careful with Drakking, and we're not talking about drinking and driving,
40:52
just talking about drinking in general. To Jacob's point, now, as far
40:57
as the driving, that's just absurd. You're you're a professional athlete, you
41:02
are a responsible human being, and now you've taken the life of somebody else.
41:08
You know, So no matter what the no matter what the amount of
41:12
time in jail is going to be, you can lock him away the rest
41:15
of his life. He'll never be able to get that image out of his
41:19
mind and he'll have to live with that forever. Three to ten years.
41:24
To me, I was shocked. I thought it seemed like it was too
41:27
light. But from what I understand, I think that was the mac sentence
41:30
from the article I read based on based on the charges he had. I
41:35
could be wrong. I read it kind of quickly, but to me,
41:37
it definitely seems kind of light. I know that the family and the light
41:40
had tried to get a tougher law passed after it because of the sentence egg
41:46
and they the Nevada legislator voted it down two times, kind of said that
41:52
someone's life is only worth three to ten years. And I hope, I
41:58
hope Rugs got the the help he's needed after this. You know, I
42:02
hope that if but what he gets out, which should should it be that
42:07
long? Obviously that he he's a better person to society because you can't get
42:14
that of the person's life back, that that'll be on his mind forever.
42:17
I mean, the guy was driving one one hundred and fifty six miles an
42:21
hour and this young lady was driving forty three. Oh gosh, that's unbelieve
42:28
all right, George, Yeah, I don't have too much more to add.
42:30
I mean, these are sentences that are they vary by state, but
42:36
I think that that probably is in today's standards a fair in average, let's
42:43
say, of three to ten. That being said, yeah, it definitely
42:47
needs all the help he can get, and he certainly owes a lot to
42:52
the society and to what he did to harm obviously this family of the deceased.
42:59
It's just a shame that this had to happened. We see it constantly
43:02
when people don't assume their own responsibility. And like you said, I mean,
43:07
he shouldn't even get behind the wheel of that car. Obviously not.
43:12
It's a sad, sad situation, and it only is worse because of his
43:15
status. People get more attention that way because he's a football player or whatever
43:20
sport he was in. Doesn't make it any better or any worse, I
43:23
guess, but it does make it. It does make more headlines, and
43:30
it brings out these situations more and more that people across America and around the
43:34
world kind of dropped their jaw and say, wait a minute, Oh my
43:37
god, really he did that, you know, and for nothing else.
43:44
This kid is really screwed up. He's really screwed up his own life.
43:47
But yeah, I do hope that he could get something out of it,
43:51
salvage something, But yeah, he's really been obviously a bad apple Kenny.
43:59
So it was a plea deal because had he actually gone to court, he
44:04
could have faced a mandatory minimum of two years with a conviction and could get
44:09
more than fifty years. Part of the problem was is they never did a
44:14
sobriety test at the scene of the accident, so there was some obstacles there
44:20
to try and prove everything because they did an illegal blood alcohol at the hospital
44:25
afterwards, but that was a while afterwards. So big lesson, And this
44:34
is the lesson that I try and tell everybody. You can go out drinking.
44:37
I have no issue whatsoever with people going out drinking and having but always,
44:45
always, you have to have somebody that's your designated driver. I don't
44:49
care where you go. I don't care if you're going to a friend's house,
44:52
then stay the night if you've had too much to drink. And the
44:55
problem is is once you've had too much to drink, you don't think you've
44:59
had too much to drink, and that's part of the problem. That's why
45:02
you have to have a designated driver that says, you know what, I'm
45:06
the one that's responsible. You've had too much. You might think you can
45:10
drive, but your reaction time is not the same driving one hundred and fifty
45:16
six miles an hour. We're not talking down the highway, we're talking down
45:20
a city street. You do not know what you're doing, and you had
45:28
too much to drink. I'm sorry. Between you and your friends, you
45:31
have to you have to have a dosnated driver, or if you're at a
45:37
friends you stay there, you give the keys up when you get there and
45:40
you say, you know what, I'm going to be drinking. I don't
45:44
know if I'm going to be able to drive it at night, So here's
45:45
my keys. You hold on to him, you'd be the judge. You
45:51
know. The amazing part about this. I only think he's going to serve
45:52
three years and he'll be out. That's just a feeling I have. I
45:55
don't know. It might be less or less, Beau, And that's that's
46:02
the only thing I ask. I just want everybody to understand this, anybody
46:05
that's watching tonight. I'm not against drinking by itself. I'm like, okay,
46:10
even having a nice I'm just saying, even having a nice relaxing a
46:15
Manhattan and anything like that, just having yourself anything you like to have,
46:19
ginentonic, any of those. That's not the thing. I just like relaxing.
46:22
But I'm asking, what is it in the mind of a Okay,
46:27
we'll you say, a kid like he is twenty four years old? What
46:30
is it in the mind of somebody says, oh, drug, Like there's
46:35
a word for it. I just say, but what gets it over and
46:37
over and over and over and over again where you want to over saturate yourself?
46:42
Is it? Is it physical pain? Is it mental pain? Is
46:45
it a sense of entitlement? I have to ask that because it's like you've
46:52
just killed somebody, and I just asked this over and over. You're not
46:54
the You're not the badass you thought you were. You're not the tough guy
46:58
you thought you were. You're not any thing. If you have to oversaturate
47:00
yourself over and over again. Good fine, all right, we're gonna move
47:06
on to our parting shots. Okay, Jacob leadoff. All right, big
47:12
thing, I have to say this. It's like there are Cubs fans out
47:15
there and we're gonna talking to this with confidential, but there are Cubs fans
47:19
out there wondering why we keep voting. I mean, because says Zuki is
47:22
not what he was maybe last year, or he's not he's not the same
47:27
kind of player. Maybe he's like two sixty average, and it's like,
47:30
should they let him go? Blah blah blah. Here's the deal. It's
47:32
the same in the This is the same boat as Jason Hayward. He was
47:37
a two twenty average hitter with the Cubs, but it was his motivation that
47:43
got the Cubs to help get the World Series. This is the thing,
47:46
it's says Zuki that could possibly get Shoheyatani because he was already talking to him
47:52
on the field the one time trying to convince him to go to the Chicago
47:55
in the first place. Say it's, Zuki, This more than the results
48:00
of the game. It really is. This is a business world. You
48:06
need help. This is I mean, whether you're in real estate, whether
48:08
it's everything that you can think of, it is more than just stay in
48:15
negotiations. Sometimes you just need the help. That's why you keep us a
48:17
Zuki, That's why you keep a Jason Heyward well beyond his two twenty.
48:22
Sometimes it's the intangibles period. KJB, what's you're hurting shot? Realignment and
48:31
college football? What is wrong with this? We're down to two ridiculously huge
48:38
conferences, one that's from coast to coast at the current moment, you know,
48:45
and you have teams in the ACC that are just left out right now
48:50
nothing They haven't done anything, So I don't know how they're going to survive
48:53
against these two conglomerates. The Big twelve has added some teams, so you
48:58
know, the Big ten they called that like the Big one hundred and seven.
49:02
You know what happens to college basketball with all these different changes. There's
49:07
a lot of issues with this, and you know, I'm almost wondering if
49:10
we should just get rid of conferences altogether, if the NC Double A should
49:15
just say, you know, let's get rid of it, or if these
49:17
two conferences just forego the NC Double A and create their own type of league,
49:22
because it's so strange to just see how these schools are just jump and
49:28
ship. You know, the PAC twelve is basically down to four teams at
49:31
the moment, and you know, stared for a cal or stare for maybe
49:37
joinable, Oregon State and Washington stayed over four left. Yeah, it's pretty
49:45
pretty scary to see. And kind of said to see this break up the
49:49
way it was, that it just happened so quickly that everyone just jumped ship.
49:52
There was no loyalty, and you know, there's so much money there,
49:57
and I get why you want to be in a position. But then
50:00
you look at teams that are in some of these conferences. You're Rutgers,
50:05
for example, in the Big hundred and seven. You know, they're never
50:08
gonna win anything. I don't care if they break them, break shiattle back.
50:13
You know, they can have anybody coach them. It's Rutgers. They're
50:17
horrible. It's not going anywhere. You got vangerable to the SEC. They're
50:22
never gonna win anything. There's you know, grades are more important than than
50:25
athletes, which it's college that's a good, good way to be, you
50:30
know. So it's just it's interesting to see how this all shakes out over
50:32
the next couple of years. It's going to be a lot of changes to
50:36
college sports due to this crazy realignment, and it's going to affect other sports
50:40
as well. You're gonna have, you know, Jim gymnastic teams flying from
50:45
New York to California for conference events. It's going to cost these schools lots
50:51
of money, and you know, due to different regulations, they're gonna have
50:54
to pay it. So it's going to be interesting just to see what happens
50:58
in the landscape of college sport. George, my parting shot is a good
51:06
one. I want to salute our friend Rob Parker, former Detroit News,
51:10
former Detroit Free Press sportswriter. He got on March Shots rog Side. Hey,
51:16
everybody knows about Rob and his first take and all these shows that he's
51:21
been on. He made a big deal of it on his Facebook page.
51:24
But I'm glad he did. He is in Trinee and to the Black Journalism
51:30
Hall of Fame, and I congratulate you, Rob, you have mentored so
51:35
many people. In fact, I really enjoyed the tribute that you posted on
51:39
Facebook with many of the people that you mentored over the years. And of
51:44
course Scott, we know him from Detroit. He's been in New York,
51:49
he's been in Cincinnati, he's been in LA And Rob is just a he's
51:53
a one of a kind personality. He's not afraid to tell it like it
51:58
is. He's got some enemy I know and some of these clubs. But
52:01
tell you what, Rob, you've done a hell of a job. Congratulations
52:06
on your Hall of Fame, and we salute your hats off to you,
52:09
my friend, for making that Hall of fame. Yeah, Rob's been a
52:14
good friend of mine for many many years. Last time I saw and personal
52:16
was at the All Star Game here in Miami. So Rob, and I'll
52:20
tell you, when you're on the road covering the Detroit Lions and then you
52:22
set the record for futility on the road and then you're hammering ro Rod Marinelli,
52:28
boy, that was great. At least he was doing it. None
52:30
of us we're getting nailed for it. So yeah, Rob, congrats all
52:32
right, Candie, what's your partner shot. Congratulations to the Florida Atlantic University
52:39
men's basketball team. Kudos to you guys. You are going to play.
52:45
You're gonna go to Disney World for ESPN event for their Thanksgiving Day Invitational,
52:53
and then you are gonna go and you're gonna play up in Madison Square Garden
53:00
to play the Jimmy V Foundation Tournament on December fifth. So congratulations to your
53:07
success because now it's paying off. That must be. I can't imagine that
53:10
the kids, the boys that are gonna be playing there probably has a dream
53:15
of theirs to play in Madison Square Gardens. So kudos to the men's basketball
53:21
team for fau all Right, I can't believe that even all in the University
53:25
University of South Florida. Bull but I'm in Michigan will ring at heart that
53:28
I'm even doing this parting shop. I'm gonna do it anyways, Okay.
53:32
Kudos to Ohio State athletic director Jeane Smith retiring and on June twenty twenty four,
53:40
think about it. Okay, the football program won a national title in
53:45
twenty fourteen. It's won ten Big ten titles. Okay since two thousand and
53:50
five and totally, the Buckeyes have collected thirty two team national championships one hundred
53:55
and seventeen individual titles. Prior to OSU, he's been the at Atlantic director
54:00
at Eastern Michigan, Iowa State, and Arizona State. You know what,
54:06
say what you want, but Jeans Smith to me is unquestionably one of the
54:13
best athletic directors ever and to do the job that he's done in Ohio State
54:16
is an incredible thing. In a wish him well in retirement. So you
54:22
know, despite coming from a Michigan Wolverine, you have to give credit where
54:27
it's due, and that's exactly what I am doing. All right, Well,
54:30
you know what's so nice about these earlier starts, Okay, everybody has
54:34
a chance to let everybody know they get all of each other. So with
54:37
that said, Jacob Christoer, just so you know, one programming know,
