  Speaker 2: Hello everybody, welcome to the Wednesday edition of The Sports Exchange.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: My name is Scott Morgan, Rock Older City, Madmouth. Had
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: a great show with the Professor and the pupil earlier
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: when I want to thank Merrill Catlan for joining us
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: earlier tonight second half our doubleheader. They have a good
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: show lined up. The title actually is probably a homer
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: one for me or the Detroit missions back. I'd like
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: to think that they are because I covered this team
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: during the Bad Boys era when he had the Lakes
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: of Isaiah Thomas, Chuck Daily, Bill Lambert, Dennis Rodman and company.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: So with that said, want to welcome the crew and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: look at all everything go on and Chatom's already buzzing.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Katie, Welcome back, Thanks Scott.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Great to be.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Get those comments up. We're never going to keep it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Touch Joe well as, welcome back to the big show.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: How's everybody doing sports?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: And glad to have you in now. So hope you're subscribing
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: to our YouTube channel. If you haven't, please do so.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: If you have much appreciated and last but not least,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the pens Man, welcome back.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you for having me.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And welcome did some football duty last night. Looked pretty
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: good doing that. So all right, what do we have
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: talking about today? We're gonna do a lot of football, basketball, football,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and another topic outside of sports kind of but one
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that touches my heart, and I'll get to that in
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: a little bit. So with that said, let's talk about this.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: This story is too difficult to overlook. But the Detroit
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Pistons are twenty one or nineteen and hold the A
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: spot in the Eastern Conference.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: They have a new coach and JB.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Bickerstaff, and their star player is Kate Cunningham and he's
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: having a pretty good breakout year. And I'm gonna tell
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you they played without guard jayde Ivy, who is hurt.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But former NBA George Carl went on record saying that
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the league is better when Detroit's doing well. Last year
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: they finished fourteen to sixteen under Monty Williams. Monday Detroit
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: walked into Madison Square Garden and he defeated the Knick
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: four nineteen. Tom Gorson new over ran anything good in
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: terms of coaches before he got it right this time.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So you know what Javison talks about the Detroit Pistons again.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You know, for me, I enjoyed the Bad Boys era
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to have a piece of their floor in my house,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and I'm very proud of it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Listen, I love seeing this team finally starting to play
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: good basketball. I mean they had the top pick or
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: the top one of the top picks how many times
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: in a row. Kate Cuttingham good young player. Excited to
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: see him do well. It's a nice young team. If
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: they could just you know, lurd and play Pistons basketball
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: and build the culture there, it could be done, you know.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: I mean the the floor. We've already seen how bad
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: they can be, you know, and they've they've already surpassed
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: how other seasons. But you know, they got Tobias Harris,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: who's a good uh leader, older player, been around, he
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: knows what he's doing. Helped bring along the younger guys.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: You know, they got Hardaway Junior is a nice player,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Jared d Jayalen Duran. They have some nice pieces, you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: and that's what Ivy being out and hurt. I think
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: the the future is bright for them. They're they're gonna
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: be better. I mean, they're not gonna be a one
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: seed anytime soon, but you know, it's good to see
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: them finally out of that cellar and winning games because
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: they were in that that run for a long time
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: when they couldn't do anything, they couldn't get out of
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: their own way.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, Fernando, you know there is an
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: opening now on fire Up. So if you want to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: go ahead and apply for the opening, with Candy Eveling
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: as your biggest fan, I would strongly recommend. I think
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: you would be an ideal person to come up with
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: fire Up. You have the right facial hair to do it,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and you fit in with Penman. So, Fernando, here's what
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you should do. My friend, and I've known Fernando for
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a long time. He's a good guy. He was one
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of our first subscribers in southworks form YouTube channel. There
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: is an opening on fire Up. I suggest that you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and Candy get together. You can reach me if you
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: got my number, and I'll give you a strong recommendation
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: to come up with fire Up. We need somebody with
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a good beard with your dedication to come on. And
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I think you are an ideal fit for this group
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: because it is the Coxic Club baby Candy's running at Fernando,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that's a club you should be a part of, So
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you should be complimenting me for going out there and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: recommending it for it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: The Candy Holiday Hour.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: It definitely is why I'm recommending to you go on
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: it of all put people, dude, So go out there

• 5:04
  Speaker 2: lucky enough, you might make it on tomorrow night. You
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: never know, so we'll see.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: If I don't know my country club, how do you
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: get to control who's my god?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I don't have to go.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I know one person I'm controlling getting rid of,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: but I can tell you the one person you can
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: add on.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: That's all I'm gonna say. I won't get any more
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: detail about it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So that said, So all right, Hernano, you gave me
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: a contact, I'll put tell with Candy because you're the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: one actually taught me about streamware, using it like a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: freeway where you go all these different directions, because I
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: didn't know anything about until you explained it that way.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: That's the one glaring memory I have where you taught
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: me a technical question and it's hard to get through
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: with me technically, but you did reach me there. Contact
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: me later. I'll put you out with Candy and I'll
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: tell you what. She'll go ahead and take care of
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the rest.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: With that said, I got that out for Nando. You
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: have some work to do after this broadcast tonight on
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: this Portux change and make sure while you're at it,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: wait and get more people on the show, because we
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: have a lot more to talk about. All right, Penza,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: what you're talking about the Pistons.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The Pistons must have trained places with the seventy six
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: ers because the Pistons are going this way and the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: seventy six ers are going that way. The Pistons are
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: playing really great basketball. They're fighting. They're not competing with
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the big timers, but at least they're competing the Sixers.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: They're falling back. I don't know what's going on with Philly,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: but they're just going backwards. So that's my take. Like
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Kay Conneham, I'm impressed with how he's playing, how he
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: came out of college. I'm impressed how he's playing so well.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind Luke Walton is also they're one of
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: their assistant coaches. They got good coaches, all right, Candy,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the Pistons, a team that obviously has more titles than
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I had to get that jab in.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, you can get that jab in. But that
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: was history way back. That is not current lately. I'll
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: just put that way. I don't say this. The Pistons.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: They leave the NBA and wins so far in January.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: They'll have a winning record at the midpoint of the season.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: But and they believe that they can beat anybody, which great.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: The notion that the Pistons beating enter anybody, literally anybody
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: a year ago would have been comical. That was the
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: team that lost a record twenty eight consecutive games, the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: worst single season stretch in NBA history. They were four
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: and thirty seven through forty one games, tying the sixth
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: worst start to a season ever. They were so bad
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: that Pistons owner Tom Gores had to do the unthinkable
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: and fire a coach in Monty Williams with five years
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: and sixty five million dollars or so left on his contract.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: This year, the Pistons started on to four under the
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: new coach JB. Bickerschef. The preseason ex expectations of being
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: bad once again looked pretty secure. But now they've won
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: ten of their last twelve games and leave the NBA
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: with seven wins so far in January. They could be
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: a playing team, they could be a playoff team. They
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: might have an All Star in Kid Cunningham. The way
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: he's playing right now, he's playing very good. Might be
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: your first All Star since Blake Griffin back in twenty nineteen.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: But good for the Pistons because how I feel that,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: no matter what league we're talking about, if you have
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: a team that is so bad that you're laughing on
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: it in comical, that's not good for the sport. It's
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: good for every sport. If all the teams are competitive
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: and competing, they're not all going to be the top.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: But the Pistons last year were just awful.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll go back to what I said earlier in
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the second George Carl, one of the most credible coaches
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: on the planet, says that the NBA is better off
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: from the Pistons are doing well. They had some great
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: stretches where they got to a lot of conference championship games.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: They have three titles in their pocket, and their history
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: is pretty good. So more power to George carl who
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: is a great coach in his own right to talk
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: about it, and that's why we're talking about the Fistess tonight.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I feel very.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Indebted to that organization for a lot of the memories
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that I've had over the years when I was living
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: back in Detroit, and it covered some pretty important games
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: there in Miami when they took on the heat. As
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: we move forward, the only team that defeated Notre Dame
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: is actually Northern Illinois and they are now joining the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Mountain West Conference, leaving the Mid American Conference as a
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: football member only in twenty twenty six, are going to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: be paying two million dollar entrance fees. So what are
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: your thoughts about Northern Illinois being the only team right
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: now that solved the Irish shoe. That's unbelievable that Notre
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Dame is now run off thirteen in a row as
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a result.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm actually disappointed with Northern Illinois. They went
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: into South Bend and they shot the world. You know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: we only see that happen so often, where these top
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: tier teams get beat by these Cinderella type teams, and
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: when it happens, you know, I feel as though everyone
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: gets praised. The coach was on ESPN and Good Morning America,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: well every new show everywhere, and then they followed up
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: and they didn't ever win their own conference. I mean, listen, Yeah,
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: one win is nice, it's great for a program. It
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: puts your name on the map. But you know what
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: puts your team on the map permanently winning your conference.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: And you know, when you beat a team as good
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: as not Youre Dame, we see where they are. There's
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: no excuse for losing games to people in the Mid
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: America Conference. You don't have any right to do that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: You know, it doesn't work that way. I get that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: You know, the week after you beat Notre Dame you
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: may be in your head and tail with the greatest
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: thing since Slice. But I'll give you that one loss
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: because we all know that happens, especially with kids. After that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: How you don't win every other game disgusting and good
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: for them to use their momentum to go into a
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: better conference to make more money for the school. Great,
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: but you know, show me something. Go out there and
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: win games. Don't beat a really good team and then
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: just be a middle of the road school. Would you know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: no one expected it to me. That was disgusting.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good, take all right, Edman.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I think that they did really well against Notre Dame.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: But like jab said, you got to win your conference.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: But hopefully if this one next conference, hopefully they win
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that one. So do you know who they're matching up against?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Don't?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sure, but I'm sure if you knew who
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the new conference was. But if they go to the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: new conference, hopefully they win that conference. That's how you
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: get your name out there.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: So my geography must be off of somehow someway Northern
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Illinois in a Mountain West conference because geography a graphically
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: ring in my head.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: So go ahead, Katy, So kudos to Northern Illinois. I've
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: actually known people that have gone there and have played
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: for them. But it's they beat Notre Dame. But it
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: wasn't by a huge score. It was sixteen to fourteen. Yes,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: what they did is they they intercepted Riley Leonard twice,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: so that made a big difference. So their defense came
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: to play and like, kudos to them, but every team
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: normally can't have their foot on the gas pedal for
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: every single game, and Notre Dame sometimes you think of
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: games as trap games or as a game that you
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: might let your guard down, and maybe that's what Notre
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Dame did. They allowed Northern Illinois to come into their
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: house on their turf and beat them. There was seventy well,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: there was seventy seven thousand people there that day. Kudos
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: to nor to Northern Illinois. I don't know how many
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: times they actually play Notre Dame, because being that Notre
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Dame is, you know, not in one of the conferences
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: that they just play random. I don't know how often
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: they've played them. So who got the payday on that?
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: I'm guessing Northern Illinois made some money going in.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: They did, but I don't know what the exact figures are.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: But you're right, there's a payday to go along with
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: that prestigious win exactly.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: So kudos to them.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: You know, knowing you, knowing you.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: You'll find it later in the show because they're curious
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'll see what I can do.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: But okay, well just real quick, you guys were asking
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: what teams are in the Mountain West Air Force Boise, Colorado,
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Colorado State, Fresno, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State,
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: San Jose State, UNLV, Utah State, Washington, State of Wyoming.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Those are headed back to the PAC twelve two though.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the card listic on the website, that's.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: A little roof there.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Free trips to Hawaii every every other year.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: That's a that's probably why they moved there.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that breaks my heart, doesn't it? My goodness, so
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: it didn't.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Take me to the end of the game. At the
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: end of the show, Northern Illinois received one point four
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: million dollars. Notre Dame were playing in twenty twenty four
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: college football game.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: They win a game and got one point four million bucks.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Say that was a pretty good day's work.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Kudos to them, all Right.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: One, one thing we get to before we talk about
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: a station right win versus the eightp top five teams.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: His head coach at Notre Dame, Marcus Freeman, is three
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and two against the top five. Brian Kelly is one
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: and seven. Another interesting stat though, before last week's game
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: was Notre Dame. Before they meet, Notre Dame defeated Penn State.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: The all time record in that series was nine to
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: nine and one, so that was a pretty even matchup there.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: But we'll go back to the initial topic in hand,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that being the fact that Marcus Freeman is read two
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: against top five teams and Brian Kelly one and seven. Joe,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: what does that say about Marcus Freeman.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Listen, Marcus Freeman as a hell of a coach. Just
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: listening to him speak when he's interviewed anytime, let alone
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: after the bowl game where he beat pen State. The
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: man knows his football, knows how to speak, knows how
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: to motivate. You know. I don't think any other coach,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: probably in college, could have got his team after losing
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: to Northern Illinois to come out and actually dominate almost
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: every team throughout the rest of the year them ready
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: to play tough games. Indiana was not a pushover in
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: the first week. Ped State was a good team, a
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: really good team, you know. And all I could say is,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: Brian Kelly has those national championships looking for you at LSU.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, you left Notre Dame because you wanted to
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: play in national championships. Well, it took Notre Dame two
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: years and Brian Kelly wasn't even in the playoffs, So
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: I think Notre Dame did the best at anybody in
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: this group would get in Marcus Freeman a phenomenal move.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Hopefully they don't lose him to an NFL team, because
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: I know there's definitely interest the Bears being one of them.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: I hope Notre Dame could keep them because I love
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: watching Notre Dame.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: So hey, Penman Bart that Note Dame coach Marcus Freeman.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: He is awesome. I wish he was on my team.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's just incredible. He goes over, he has everything,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: even when they're down halftime, we'll be all right, we'll
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: be alright. Which one's just one player at a time,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: that's all. It's just no coach does that. That's that's
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: incredible what Marcus Freeman did. And Brian Kelly he was
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: never I think he was like Chip Kelly in disguise.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: He's just he was. He never handled Notre Dame like
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: he did. Like like Marcus Freeman has control of it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Gather up all the wins you won and Notre Dame.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: But if you haven't won anything and you get humbled
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: by the SEC when he went out there, and.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Shame on Brian Kelly tohek candy.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: So Marcus Freeman played for Ohio State two thousand and
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: four to two thousand and eight. He then played for
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: the Chicago Bears, the Buffalo Bills, the Houston Texans. He
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: was a linebacker his coaching career, he was at Ohio State,
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Ken State, Perdue, Perdue, Cincinnati, and now Notre Dame. He
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: was a defensive coordinator. So you know that what he brings.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: To the game.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Is it cool that he has. He's so calm and collected.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: He's not a Bobby Knight. Yeah, you know he he
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: he knows how to motivate them. He knows how to
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: coach without being how should I say too aggressive or
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: whatever or how you would say it.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Temperamental, very good, very good word.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: I just really like him. I really enjoy seeing him.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: I know that, like JB said, he's been interviewing or
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: they've asked it to interview him for some of the
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: NFL jobs. I hope he doesn't. I like to see
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: him stay in college because I honestly think he can
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: mentor the boys to men aspect as opposed to going
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: into and being able to really have a voice and
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: letting the college gentlemen reflect and learn from him. I
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: think he's a good role model as opposed to going
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: into the NFL and I because I NFL once. The
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: players in the NFL, they already have their attitudes there
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: and it's really hard to coach them and mold them.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: And I think where that's where Marcus can really make
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: make a difference as well.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I'm glad Brian Kelly's got humbled. He tried to imitate
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: a Southern accent when he first went down there. Oh
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: You've got and that was the biggest joke I've ever seen.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I realized that TikTok is probably going out of business
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: at the end of the week because they're going to
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: be shut down. But I wish they had a video
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: on Brian Kelly when he had that Southern draw. Seriously, Brian,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: you went to use you ended up going to LSU
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: and Notre Dame was better. That tells me what you
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: really were worth up there. Anyways, glad to eat and
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: humble buie out in Cage in Country. But that said,

• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Back to you, Scott, Yeah, thank you, Candy all right,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: and the hard to believe category. Interim head coach Rich Pasacia,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: SPE's the team's guy over at Green Bay. Still owns
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the highest winning percentage for Raiders head coach in the
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: last thirty five years of the seven and five record,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: five eighty three winning percentage, and as I mentioned, he's
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: a current special teams coach for Packers.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Raiders should have hired him full time.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: So, Joe, what are your thoughts about Rich Pasacia leaving
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: his mark in Las Vegas?
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Listen, I mean, there's a lot of opportunity for coaches.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: You know, some are better than others. Some make the
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: transition from you know, a coordinator or special teams coach
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: and become a head coach. That are phenomenal. Some are horrible.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: You know, it takes time to see what happens with it.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: I can't really tell you what's going to happen, you know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: when some one person moves from one spot to another.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: But it's always interesting because I think it takes a
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: lot of different things for a situation to be right.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: You have to have the right players, you have to
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: have the right attitude. You have to know how to coach.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: You know, not everyone coaches the same way. Bill Belichick
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: doesn't coach the same way as Mike Tomlin, nor does
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Andy Reid, And they're all extremely successful coaches, but they
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: all have different styles, and sometimes one person's style may
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: not work with the other person's players. So you know,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: it takes a lot to be successful in the industry.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: And you know, there's some really good guys out there
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: that just unfortunately fell where they go to a different
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: situation for many reasons, and.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Then we'll see what happens. They coaches are gonna be
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: moved around. Like JB said, they find out the right system,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the right coaches, see what happens.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Candy, So I look at it from them a different
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: pair of glasses because I obviously follow the Packers. There
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: are a number of different Packer forums that I will
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: say that have come out, and a lot of people,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: especially after this last exit from the playoff game, that
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: would like him fired because they did not have a
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: good game on special teams. But I would argue that
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: we didn't have a good game on at pretty much
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: all the different phases against the Eagles. We were banged
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: up kudos to him for having the success he did
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: as an interim, because as an interim that's that's difficult
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: because here all the guys are there to play with,
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: you know, the head coach that they thought would be
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: in the beginning of the season, and then you don't
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: have any In order to become an interim coach, one
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: of two things has to happen. One, you're not the
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: team is not performing well, and so you're not doing
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: well in the season, and therefore they exit out the
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: head coach and then King comes an interim coach, and
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: that's what happened, and so it's kind of hard to
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: go into that because already they're not having much success
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: for this season. So kudos to him that actually he's
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: he turned around and had success during that time. Does
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: that always equate to success on other teams and other situations?
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Like jab said, everything has to be right, and I think,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: especially when you're talking about some of these coordinator positions,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: it also has to be right at the head coaching position,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: and the head coach has to have a message that
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: everybody and all the other coaches adhere to. And the
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: reason why I say that is because let's and I'm
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: gonna use this, and I've used this numerous times, but
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: I have to give kudos to like Dan Campbell because
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: everybody knows what kind of a coach he is, and
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: all of his coaches support him because look at how
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: many last year they interviewed for other jobs and they
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: didn't take them. They went back to being a defensive
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: or offensive coordinator because they enjoyed the culture that Dan
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: has created in that facility with that organization, and I
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: hainte that's very key when they are looking for other roles.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: One other thing I forgot to mention about Marcus Freeman.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I hope he comes back and looking for to Miami
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: taking a Notre Dame later on this fall. I really
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: am looking forward to Miami over Dame. While since they've
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: seen that matchup with everybody down here, what do you
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: think of Miami's schedule.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: They're going to Florida, Nore Dame.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Coming in a hard rock stadium next year, and we'll
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: have a chance to see both of them there as well.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: All Right, we'll talk about the legacy of Hall of
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Famer Rickey Henderson, who died on December twentieth, twenty twenty fourth,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: five days before his sixty sixth birthday of the man
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: who was the all time steals leader and first ballot
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Jabe What words can you describe about
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the legacy of Ricky Henderson.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: He was a phenomenal baseball player and an even funnier guy.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: So when he played with the Yankees, he actually lived
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. I used to pass by his
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: house constantly when I would go play Little league baseball
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: when I was a kid. Nice house, right off the water.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: I remember hearing stories about how he got a check
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: that wasn't cash. He framed it. He didn't realize he
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: had a cash and he was so excited that he
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: got like a major league check and sure was. When
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: he was with the A's, they called him to ask him,
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: how can we get cash the check and he said, oh,
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: I put it in a frame.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: He he was just a funny guy, unbelievable player, you know,
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: great speed, most leadoff home runs and history, you know,
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: just fun to watch. I used to love, you know,
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: when he used to play with the Yankees bat leadoff.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: I hated when he was with Oakland, you know, having
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: to play against it. Just a really nice human being.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Lost him like JB.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Said when he went to Oakland, he was a pinned
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: he asked to be there. He was just annoying to
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: be a play against, but he was awesome. You always
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: have to check and see if he's not leading. If
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you let him go one minute, he's gone. He's all
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: first base. And he was phenomenal in the Yankee Stadium.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: But isn't it weird that he died the day that
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the Oakland A's left Oakland, like shortly after Oakland A's
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: left to go out to out West. That's when he left.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: When the Coloseum left, That's when we lost Ricky. I
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: think that's weird. I think that's weird.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Well, here, I'll give you another irony if you want one.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: The guy who played for Billy Martin.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I suffered a severe ankle injury on December twenty fifth,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine, and sort of covered a torn ligament
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: in my ankle, and it was in a cat six
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: months in London, Derry, Vermont over Magic Mountains. So anytime
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: anybody asked me when I busted on my ankle, all
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: have to do is look at Billy Martin's death and
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I'll know when I got busted up and I was
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: out six months on the shelf. So yeah, there are
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: some ironies too, Penman, you're right about the fact, and
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: he passed away on that time, so Candy. But yeah,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: let's face it, though he got in with ninety four
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: eight percent of the ballot and he his Can you imagine,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I'll think about this for a minute, that you have
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: number one, okay, the bigger bas pads, and number two
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: you can't go ahead and throw the ball back to
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: first base one one last time? How many were stolen
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: bases he'd already had than what he already had now,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: which I believe was fourteen hundred and six. How many
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: more I'd say he has fifteen sixteen hundred of You
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: go out there and add those rules with that's hypothetical.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: We'll never know, Candy some thoughts.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: He holds the single season record for stolen bases one
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: hundred and thirty in nineteen eighty two, and is the
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: only player in al history to steal one hundred bases
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: in a season, having done so three times in eighty
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: eighty two and eighty three. His fourteen hundred and six
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: career steals is fifty percent higher than the previous record
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: of nine hundred and thirty eight by Lou Brock. He
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: He was named al's Most Valuable Player in nineteen ninety
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: and was twice the leadoff hitter for World Series champions
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: eighty nine Oakland Athletics and ninety three Toronto Blue Jays.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Alve time stolen based champion, Henderson led the league in
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: runs five times. His twenty five season career elevated him
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: to the top ten in several other categories, including career
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: at bats, games, outfield putouts, and total chances. His high
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: on base percentage, power hitting, and stolen bases and run
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: totals made him one of the most dominant and innovative
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: players of all times. Once asked if he thought Henderson
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: was a future Hall of Famer, statition statistician Bill James replied,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: if you could split him in two, you'd have two
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Hall of Famers.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: All right, you know what, I've got a feel good story,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: not totally sports related, but this one came across. I
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: had no choice but to mention it. According to the
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: US new trending Michael J. Box, year after his wedding,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. His wife, Tracy Poland who
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: he married in nineteen eighty eight, became his biggest supporter.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: They have been together.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Thirty six years. The actors shared that he would be
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: dead without his better half. And I can tell you
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: right now that I've lost a few people that due
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: to Parks.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: This is hard.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: I believe Barry Melrose. I met him once over at
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: the NHL Offstar A game in Sunrise. Chris Roberts, the
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: former bat the announcer for UCLA, was a good friend
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: of mine. Of course, everybody knows about the legendary Muhammad Ali,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: but let's keep the focus on Michael J. Fox and Tracy.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: You know what, Katie, will let you start off with
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: this one. What are your thoughts about the loyalty between
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Tracy and Michael J.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Fox.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: You know, because you and I were in a similar
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: situation when I got sick early. You were there for
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: me early before. You've been through an awful lot with
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: me since I'm anything but durable, like I want to
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: believe I usually am. But this is unbelievable. One year
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: after he has a disease and you still support this guy.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: That's love if I ever saw one.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: So if you are a person that is true to
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: your commitments and your vows. Whether you believe whatever, you
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: believe it depending on the vowels that you take. One
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: of the vows that a traditional marriage is in sickness
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: and in health. Kudos to them, because yes, and that
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: means when your other party is sick or not, you're there.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: And Scott, I'm gonna share probably something I don't know
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: if you wanted it shared or not, I don't care't
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: You actually were misdiagnosed a couple of years ago with Parkinson's.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: And because we fought and said no, we don't think
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: it was we found out that you were misdiagnosed after
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: you had started taking medication for Parkinson's. So you, as
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: as the spouse or as the other party, you have
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: to be the advocate. And that's the one thing I
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: would say that I've learned that there is no other
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: bigger supporter than your spouse to support you and to
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: help you, to guide you, to be there to make
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: sure that things are being done the right way.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael, Yeah, this Michael, Michael J. Fons Tracy Polland story,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: it's just too unbelievable. And knowing that there were some
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: sports figures, I thought it was ideal to put it
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: into my show.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: All right, Joe, go.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: Ahead, listen. Being married in general is not an easy
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: thing to do. You know, I am very fortunate my wife.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: You know, I adore her. I'm very lucky that I
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: met her. And it's still difficult, you know, would be
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: saying all those great things about her. Now imagine throwing
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: in that your your spouse has a disease that one
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: day make them unable to walk, possibly eat, and many
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: other things. To stand by that person, well, I would
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: say most actually do. We only hear the horror stories
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: of people that don't. But the fact that you know
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: what she's doing is phenomenal, and that's that's what love is.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: And you know, good for her, good for him. You know,
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: I'm glad because you see a lot of times with
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: athletes and celebrities when they get married, it doesn't last,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: and for many reasons. Like I said, marriage is tough,
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: you know, but you see a lot of times where
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: they break up or they leave each other. Kudos for
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: Harfer stay with them and taking care of him, and
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: kudos for him for being lucky enough to found the
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: right woman.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, when you find your best friend in the world,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: nothing can stand in your way. And that's what Michael J. Fox,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: and that's what he has told me. He's he's her
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: best friend and she's there all the time. She's there helping.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: And does she want to do other stuff, probably, But
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: once you commit to Michael J. Fox, that's what happens.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: And she's not she's not complaining or anything. She's just
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: doing He's She's by his side every day and for
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: better for worse.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable woman.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: She really is, trac pull And when I saw this,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I have one definitely bring it up again.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Parkinson's disease.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Nothing to take lightly, Candy and I had an opportunity
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: to in Louisville, Kentucky to visit the gravesite.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Of Muhammad Ali. Really unbelievable.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Muhammad Ali meant a lot to me and I'm thankful
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: and in my book Lessons from the Microphone that I
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: have a follow up. All right, one other thing I
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: want to get to before we head over to parting shots.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Kudos to the Arizona Cardinals for the fantastic job that
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: they did holding the LA Rams. On hosting the La
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Rams on Monday night at State Farmer Stadium, they made
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: sure all the paint was there to make sure that
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: it felt like a home field advantage, and indeed it
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: was Rams ended up winning, So Joe, I mean, let's
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: face it. You know it wasn't so Fire Stadium but
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: State Farmer Stadium. And I know that Edicts in LA
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: are only a four hour drive away in a forty
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: five minute flight. So what are your thoughts about the
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: way Arizona stepped up when they needed to?
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: You know, I mean, it's the one thing I could
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: say about the NFL. This has happened multiple times for
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: different situations. Hurricanes, obviously fire. You know, the NFL has
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: found host cities nearby or sometimes not so nearby, where
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: they the teams have given their facility. It stepped in
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: and done an amazing job if I'm correct, New Orleans
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: did at one time for somebody. I think Tampa Detroit's
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: done it before, you know, And what Arizona did was great.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: They actually flew their plays out there to get the
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Rams families. They even had some of their pets with them.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Phenomenal job. Great, great way to show that you know,
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: it's more than a game, because it really is when
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: it comes down to it. You know, when you're in
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: the position wherein we we get to talk to former
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: players and players all the time, and you could see
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: it's more than just a game. Yes, that's how they
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: make their money, you know, and we all wish in
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: some way we could be fortunate enough to be playing
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: that game to make that kind of money. But we're
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: all just people, and this tragedy affects everybody from you know,
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: poor people to multimillionaires. And you know, it's not no
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: one should look at it and be like who cares?
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, just because they have money. It's imagine if
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: all your possessions lost because your house burned down and
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: there's nothing you can do about it, or you lost
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: a pet or your you know, pictures that you can
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: ever replicate, you know, other important documents. It's a shade.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: But what Arizona did was you know, a class act
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: that shows what the organization is.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, once again, our prayers go out to the folks
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: old Arizona or California because of the California wildfire.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Sorry penman, go ahead.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: There's one team I think you left l JB, and
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: that was the Saints door in Katrina that they had
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: to go and move because the Saints stadium was destroyed
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: a little bit, and the Saints had to go to
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: another stadium too, But that at what Arizona did. I
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: watched a little bit of that. I thought it was
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: in la If you looked at it, it was all Rams State,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: all Rams fans. They tried their best to make it
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Ram Nation, but they did what they had to do.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: And now they now they can go to Philadelphia and
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: hopefully they can win against Philly. But we'll see what happens.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: But I think that Arizona was really credit. What they
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: did was.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Well with the stadium.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Actually, now that you brought that up, and then I
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: remember they played some games at LSU, and I saw
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: the Lions in the same play at the Alamo Dome
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: as well, So San Antonio reached out there. I'm glad
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: you brought that up. I saw a game at the
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Almo Dome and it was the Lions in the Saints.
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: So so at first, there's a small part of the
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill, that knows that it's a little
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: tough on Monday nights to walk into his own stadium
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: and see blue and yellow.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: Let's face it, their rivals there, I mean, and he
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: said and he's like, it's a little painful to hear
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: whose house Rams nose. Wait a minute, but kudos to
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: them for, you know, matter of whirlwind of days making
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: it seem like it was sofi stadium. They scrambled to
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: get enough paint in RAMS colors for the field and
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: the end zone, which was two hundred gallons were driven
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: from a factory in Leland, Mississippi, to Arizona, all of
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: fifteen hundred miles, which arrived Saturday. The playoff themed stencils
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: were shipped from Los Angeles on a few days notice.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: The team had to order food to feed sixty thousand,
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: which meant ten thousand hot dogs, three thousand hamburgers, forty
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: five hundred orders of chicken tenders, fifty five hundred individual pizzas,
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: thirty five hundred pounds of corn kernels for popcorn, twelve
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: hundred pounds of prime rib, and eight hundred pounds of
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: beef tenderloine. The Cardinals, like JB said, sent two Boeing
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: seven to seven to seven planes to pick up RAMS
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: staffs their families, which included three hundred humans and eight pets.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: They on such short notice, they all the RAMS equipment
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: that was trucked to Phoenix, arrived at the facility at
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: twelve thirty a m. On Saturday morning. The Cardinals sport
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: staff worked with the Rams until three point thirty am
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: to set it up then be ready for meetings. In addition,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals cleared out seventy four total lockers for the
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: RAMS space. For instance, Marvin Harrison Junior's locker is now
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: Pukinakoa's locker. Ticket sales have been through the roof as
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: fifty two thousand tickets sold in two hours, and by
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: the end of the first day it was completely sold out.
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: More than ninety suites were sold, as was all luxury seating.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: The team also got commitments from over thirty five hundred
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: game day workers, an incredible number on such a short
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: notice they worked. Then entertainment staff worked around the clock
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: to prepare all the video board content and digital assets
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: from Sofi Stadium to bring them there to State Farm
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: Stadium so it looked like a Rams home game. They
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: also produced thousands of media and staff credentials to fit
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: into their system. It was it was really special to
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: see that. I really give kudos to Arizona, and I
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: know what's happened before, but in today's day and age
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: where they are so their rivals to do that for them,
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: that that showed something special.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Sure, Okay, all right, let's go onto our party shots.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: JV lead off.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: All right, So over the weekend there was a video
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: from the Philadelphia Eagles Green Bay Packer game. I'm going
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: to start by saying what the FED said that was
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: the Eagles FED is completely appalling and there's no need
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: for it anywhere in the world. That that's the start
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: of it. Now I will finish it with why the
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: Green Bay Packer vlagger should be thrown out of stadiums
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: forever because while this is happening, he's sitting on the
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: outside and the guy who's supposedly harassing his fiance is
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: on the other side of his fiance. First, the man
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: had many options. He could have called security. Every NFL
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: stadium has the number on the board if there's a
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: problem to get somebody to have it resolved. You could
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: go get an usher. You know, you could get up
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: and leave instead of just taking your phone or your
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: body camera that you wore to the game to video it.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: On top of this, the Green Bay Packer vlagger had
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: a gofund me in order to get tickets for the game,
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: but which he said he was going into the belly
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: of the beast, and you know, things were thrown at him.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: His old cheese hat was burned. So if you do
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: it was that bad what this guy said really was
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: mild compared to someone's taking something off of your body
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: and burning it. And the fact that you you sat
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: there and taped it. Did it switch seats with your
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: fiance On the video, it's pretty clear it looks like
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: she held up the middle finger. The guy, if you
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: watch the video, was just explaining to the woman when
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: she was clapping that it wasn't a touchdown. And if
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: you heard the exchange, because I listened to it a
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: few times because I was deeply disturbed by this whole thing.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: In case you have a tongues, I keep going about it.
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: You know, you hear the guy the vlogger tell him
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: not to call his fiance that I did hear him
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: call on that before. It's very clear it's not the
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: full tape. There's more to the story, but obviously this
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: is clickbait journalism. It's garbage. This is not how it
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: should be done. No one should be paying any attention
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: to this loser, and the fact that he put his
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: fiance in harm's way to get clicks, and the idiot
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: that said what he said got dos de Loss' job.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: Shows you what's wrong in our society at every level.
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: The three of them, all three of disgusting human beings,
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: you know, And the fact that this guy has his
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: two minutes of fame. The NFL should band him for that,
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: you know, because he's a piece of garbage.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, depends on what's your heart and shot.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Mike Sullivan. Mike Sullivan, Mike Sullivan, you lost another game?
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: What is going on at Pittsburgh? The ownerships of the Steelers,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: the ownership of the Penguins, And I'll take the Pirates two.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Get Pittsburgh back in the order. That's my party shot.
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: Take Hi, I'm gonna I'm gonna do two quick ones.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: Kudos to Tom Clements. He retired as Green Bays quarterback coach.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: He coached Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and Jordan Love. He's
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: seventy one years old, but kudos for him for being
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: in the league as long as he did, to coach
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame ers and the other My other
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: parting shot is kudos to Greg Guard. He is the
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: Wisconsin men's basketball coach. He earned two hundred career victories yesterday,
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: so kudos to him for that. That's a that's a
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: pretty good accomplishment in today's day and age where people
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: are out so quickly if you have a bad year
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: because the fans dictate and say, and there's so much
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: pressure on people to win that normally they're out pretty quick.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: So kudos to Greg Guard as well.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: All right, what did we want Patriots coaching search or
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: little one? There really was?
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Let's comply with the Rudie rule, right. They interviewed Pap
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Hamilton and Byron Leftwich. But Byron left which was a
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: team last year, I don't even know. But that isn't
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: skirting the Rooty rule. Knowing you had to have to
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: minority coaches with guys they don't even know if they
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: were active last year.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: That I don't know what it is. Mike Rabel is
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: the right guy for the job.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: But sometimes you wonder about the coaching interviews that are
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: actually out there, like, for example, Jaron Mayo gets an
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: interview with the Dallas Cowboys. Why because of race, you
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: have to comply with the ruly rule? Will be curious
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: to who Jerry comes up with next. There's a difference
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: of the Routie rule and then the actual intent of
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: the Ruty rule, and I'd like to find out exactly
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: how many teams are adhering to really what.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: It's all about. Now.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go too deep into it because
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of minority candidates that are still
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: going to be interviewed. I'm sure one or two might
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: very well get hired before the cycle is over, but
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: you have to wonder about whether the rule is actually
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: being serving the purpose for how it was meant to
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: be set up. That's it for me, so but that's it.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: That doesn't promo this edition of the Sports and Shape.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: But we're not done yet, so that's it. They'll say
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: that twice to the second Power GVL list. Everybody know
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: how they gold yet.

• 50:51
  Speaker 2: motor mouth. Oh my goodness, he's gonna be on radio row.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: I'll be on media role. But either way we're gonna
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: probably spend a lot of time in radio row finding
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: as many opportunities we can't get on many shows Canny
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: had in Orleans or the super Bowl, so I'm looking
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: forward to seeing her out there. Sales responds to Bourbon

• 51:14
  Speaker 2: regular crew on next week. J B Ellis, so be
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: out of town. We're going to bring a guy named j.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: D Wyatt, recommended by Ben. He will assert himself and
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: be the fifth wheel on this show to go along
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: with JB. But he'll be on next week substituting for Jellison.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Last time, I want to take Kender for coming on
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Inside the Pikin and also Jennifer Lewis were coming in
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: as well. Jennifer came in last night, was very helpful
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: to us on Inside the Fiction. We were a little
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: short handed, so she did a really good job fitting
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: in with us as well. So Jen, if you're out
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: there listening, thank you very much. She was at one
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: point though, Jennifer was actually on Inside the Picchkin for
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: a period of time, but then she got a little
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: bit busy later in the year. But it was good
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: to have her and Candy on last night to go
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: with my co host Poe Crouch. We'll see what happened
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: next week. But meanwhile, great all the way around effort
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: and again Penland then working a lot this week, but
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: he's doing a really good job. Is even keeled as
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: he possibly can. And again the first part of our
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: double her professor and the people Merril Cantlan talked about
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: make a Tea online and podcast mark and it was
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: really a lot of fun to do. Every now and then,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: I'd like to go ahead get off sports topics. So
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: if you haven't had a chance to watch it, it
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: is on the southwork Tia YouTube channel. So if that said, Candy,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: we have a presentation of Marrow with the Coral Springs Chamber.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: She's gonna start working on it a little bit later on.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: And I so any final talks about whatever you all
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: want to get out of your chest.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be some good football this week,
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: and watch it and enjoy, enjoy all the games.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: Can't wait games.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no predictions, We'll just see how it plays on.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Everybody knows where my mind is that but the Lions,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: but come on, Rams, they go well, I am a
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: feeling the Rams are going to win this game.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of Philly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: I keep here.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: Here's what I'm going to say. As bad as Green
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: Bay looked against them, they still could have beat them,
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: if easily, you know. So they're beatable, and that's what
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: So you just never know, and they need to get
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: revenge on that Sunday night football game.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I think I saw a crazy stat that Dave Rams
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: have won sixty five percent of their games playing in
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: the Eastern time zone.
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: I think I saw that staff earlier today.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: So if that stat as an emerge would then it's
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: not a good thing for the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: But we'll see how it plays out.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: I'm always pulling for Matthew Stafford anyways, and I'm glad
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: the trade worked out well for both teams, where the
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: Lions got golf and the Rams got tappered, and they
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: both have to actually quarterbacks. That the irony is they
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: were both so I think the number one overall. And
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody knows what I think of first round quarterbacks,
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: not a lot, but in this particular case of these
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: two quarterbacks are pretty good, but that's it. We want
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: to thank everybody for joining us on this edition of
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: the Sports Exchange. So on behalf of Candeabling, Pensman and
