Tirerack dot com the way tire buying should be. So
do we want to put a ball on this NBA
TV rights deal fiasco that's going on with Warner Brothers,
Discovery and Amazon and apparently they're going to take them
to court.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Now do we want to?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Do you have any more into I think it makes
sense to.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
I mean, instead of maybe just giving it two minutes
in a segment. You know, I'm not sure who made
that decision, but I mean it was just probably a
clockworked against this.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Yeah, that happens, right, Yeah, it happened.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
It wasn't like there was a rundown change. Was there
behind the scenes, someone thought that'd be a better idea.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
We need room for headline or live got to play
the hits?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Yeah, yep, maybe maybe we can.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We'll get to the hold and holdouts at some of
their point NFL.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
So tell me, what do you know? What?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
What is there a legitimate what?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
What?
Speaker 6 (01:47):
What's the legitimate case is the fact that I'm sure
within their agreement they had a right to match whatever
offer was presented. Now, why they went after and specifically presented,
you know, Amazon's offers is kind of interesting because it
appears that that's the one they're targeting the most. So
I'm not sure as to the specifics, but with most
of these deals, if you have the rights to it,
(02:08):
there's various negotiating periods, and there should have been a
negotiating window in which TNT, Warner Brother Discovery had the
opportunity to match what offers out there. The most fair
points you bring up is maybe something that you read
the notes, But that being said, it was, you know,
does the NBA want to have a platform that involves streaming?
(02:30):
In most cases it probably shouldn't matter. They would just
go to the highest bidder. But look at the NFL.
They've brought on Amazon, They've have Netflix. Now who's involved,
and it's a desire to not only increase revenue but
also start a partnership with streaming services that may very
well be how we all consume that sport ten twenty
(02:51):
years down the road. We're not there yet, And that's
the hard part is as much as we want to
act like streaming is a huge piece of all this,
it's not bigger than any of these TV networks and
their ability to broadcast linear television, so that still is
king for now. But teams are making the inroads for
streaming services and streaming services have deeper pockets. They've got
(03:13):
a lot more cash on hand. So that being said,
there is something to maybe wondering why the NBA, who
has had such a long partnership with TNT wouldn't want
to continue that relationship. And if they do want to
start off to have new relationships with Amazon, to have
streaming and kind of build out that portion of their viewership,
(03:35):
why is it then that Warner Brothers, you know, TNT
ends up being the one that takes a hit.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Why invite back NBC? Why have ESPN.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
ABCP a part of it, which gets the Lion's share
of obviously the finals games and a lot of the
actual share of the games that we played in the
regular season.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
So I want to clear this up. I did not
steal from the notes. I talked about this with Fred
Rogan yesterday when I filled it on the blowtur j
Am five seventy, and he pointed, okay that that could.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
No one here in the Midwest knew that or cared
about that.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Well, I'm just saying, like, I'm just letting people know
that he does.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Make sure whole point here a big ted media day
to see if they got your hot take with Fred Roach.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
No, no, I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
That's where I got my information from, not the show notes.
All right, I'm not going to be accused of being
a thief. I've never stolen anything, Okay, So I just
want to clear that's als Well, you're right, But the
point is, I also say this, if Barkley is going
to be gone after next year anyways, I don't care. Like,
to me, he's the star of that whole thing, Like
I love you know, Ernie and Kenny and Shack and
(04:44):
all that, but when he's not there, it's not the same.
And so if Warner Brothers, Discovery and TNT has got
NBA on TNT, which is really all.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I care about.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
If I'm being honest, for the next year, and it's
not going to be the same after that anyways, I mean,
what are we really missing here? I mean, yeah, Amazon
could throw a boatload of cash at him, but Barkley
sounds pretty convinced that he's done after this upcoming season,
and so whatever they try and pull off, he feels
like he's the real star that draws the most people
(05:14):
in and that's really to me where their value is.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
And with it all up in the air.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I look at it and I go, he's already calling
it and saying I'm done after this upcoming season. Where
they end up doesn't really matter to me, to be
honest with you. It sucks for the people they sit
behind the scenes. But you know, is what it is.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
My understanding of Charles Barkley stepping down had to do
with this potential rights issue that if the Brothers Discovery
had gotten the rights for the foreseeable future, that Charles
Barkley would work in that position longer. But because they won't,
then the show kind of goes away. And I know
they talked about the different potential opportunities for you know,
(05:55):
Barkley to buy the show and then he essentially, you know,
works with another network to do it. But you know,
when you do something like that, I mean, think about
the undertaking that would be. I mean, you're trying to
get everyone behind the scenes and all those different contracts
so you can get the same exact group not only
on camera but behind the camera to be a part
of that.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, I don't know that he wants to do all.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Of that, and so I think how he's looking at
it is I've worked for TNT it's been a great experience.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
If they're not doing it, I want to do it.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
So that's it's a consideration where if you're the NBA,
and I'm like you, I mean, I almost wonder if
the NBA is jealous of what TNT Whatever's Discovery is built.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
It wouldn't surprise me. I swear to God, like they
are the stars, Like I don't. You could put any
game on on a Thursday night, I don't care what
it is, and the game could be crap, Like we've
talked about this, Like I would rather watch those guys
in the actual game.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Like there's some playoff games.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I'd rather watch that show pre halftime post than the
instead of the game itself. And I do wonder if
there's some envy from people in the industry to go
we don't have that, so if we can't get it,
let's try and destroy it. But that's I mean, that's
where I look at it.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
It feels a little bit like it if I mean,
that's a sillicle way of thinking.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But it feels a little bit like that. That's the
case here.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Either way, I think it brings up the greater point
the NBA is able to with this new deal eleven
year deal earn what's seventy six billion dollars, which I
still go back to, outside of the sheer number of
games that you have to put on TV, how does
the number get this big? I mean, have their ratings
not been in decline for years at least through the
(07:45):
course of the regular season. So if the package you're
selling isn't even getting the amount of viewership, how are
these networks paying for this?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Because they're all sharing in this.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
None of the models makes sense for any of these
TV networks that are overpaying for live events and sports.
I know that's king right now, but it doesn't make
any sense as to how.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
They were able to pay the bills for this.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
I mean unless I'm missing something and someone wants to
point out where their ratings have been increasing for the NBA.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Which it hasn't been. It hasn't been the case.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
No, I mean maybe even maybe point to the NBA Finals,
maybe a few different series, but in regards to overall,
there's been a viewership decline best of plateau, So that's
more of like my my concern is what's the NBA
doing to grow their viewership and how are these TV
networks going to make any money off of this.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
It's and it's not like for lack of trying. I mean,
it is forced down everybody. I'll say, look, we can
talk about the w NBA and kind of scoff at it.
That actually has grown like that, that has seen an
increase and that has seen an increase in popularity to
where it feels like the NBA is just it's stagnant
at times, and they can try and make all the
(08:58):
in season gimmicky tournaments. I just I think people look
at it and go, Football's king. And we'll address the
NBA when we get to it after the season in February.
And then they start, but by that time, you're months
into the year and you've lost all the potential viewership
you could have gotten, and it just leads to the decline,
(09:18):
and it leads to people, you know, waiting around for
the NFL to start, and then you've got the NFL
Draft and everything else. It just feels like everybody's fighting
for scraps from what the NFL leaves over. By the way,
speaking of the NFL, or just go ahead, sorry about that.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
No, I was just saying to your point that the
WNBA now has a't grown in viewership. But you know,
they announced as part of this deal some of the
additional viewing that will be available too, so I assume
it will continue to grow. I mean, maybe they'll head
a plateau at some point, or maybe people will get
fed up with essentially none of the women being able
to support one another, right, like no one being able
(09:52):
just to say, hey, we're all trying to build this league,
let's just be supportive of one another.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
It's like we have to.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Have these heroes, these villains, these these various takes. But
I digress. The one thing the WNBA knows is they're
just still going to be getting money from the NBA
year of a year to help them with their private
flights and everything else that they've been you know, so
have to be like so frank about asking for So
that's at least healthy for the WNBA as well.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Now, when you guys are because I do wonder about this,
and you may have touched on this before, but at
Big Noon kickoff, when you guys are looking at sort
of the standard what you want to model the show after,
not that you would steal from it, but do you
look at the NBA on TNT and is the conversation
kicked around how are they doing it like as opposed
(10:42):
to where maybe some of these other studio shows might
have envy towards it, maybe there's an appreciation towards they've
got something there. How do we get to that point?
Like what can we do like when you guys were
first starting, because you've obviously grown, your ratings have increased
every single year. You guys have been fantastic. Are they
still where everybody looks at? Or at least for the
(11:03):
most part, that's what you were hoping to get to
one day? And it's why they've been on for twenty
plus years.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
I would define them as the standard. I think everyone
aspires to be what they are. It's just unrealistic for
a couple of reasons. The first being most producers, most
people who are executives and producers, they just they wouldn't
allow for a lot of the I don't want to
say freelance or improvisation, but I don't know that they
(11:32):
would trust talent to have this stuff build in. You know,
if you look at a rundown and a rundown and
in essence just you know, a sheet that has a
time clock or a time stamp, next to every second
of the show, Like producers will fill out every second
of the show and they want to make sure they
(11:52):
have something for it so that nothing goes unaccounted for. Well,
if you were to submit that to your boss, you've
got sections that are blank. Feel like, well, what's going here?
Oh well, Charles and Kenny want to talk about something.
You know, there'll be like a five minute segment. They
told us they take care of it. Well, that takes
a lot of trust, trust the talent, trusting the producer,
trust the behind the.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Scenes being able to follow what they're saying.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
So if all of a sudden, Charles bark We starts
talking about the stats for the Dallas Mavericks and Luka
Dachez and Kyrie Irving, they need to be ready to
throw that graphic up. They need to be ready to
throw the video up of whatever he's calling for looking for.
So it's a lot more stress behind the scenes, I think,
And also it puts a lot more pressure on those
operating behind the scenes to do their job and listen
(12:36):
to what the show's saying.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Now, as an analyst, I would say that's how the
show should be like.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Ultimately, the behind the scenes should always be following what's
happening out there for any show. But the truth is
it doesn't work that way because in a corporate America,
it doesn't work that way. You've got a boss, you've
got someone who's overseeing something else, and they don't like
seeing things that aren't field in that aren't you know,
counted for at some point. So that's the reality, and
(13:03):
that's the number one biggest issue is there is just
there's not necessarily a lack of trust, but there's just
not the ability to freelance the way they can. And
I think the other thing is is you know, no
one's Charles Barkley, no one's Kse Smith, no one's Shack,
no one's Ernie.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I mean, for as much as we highlight the.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Actual analysts because they are fantastic and what they do,
Ernie Johnson is a unique host where he allows for
it like he's the point guard. He's the one who
allows for the conversations to take place or can set
them up with very simple teases. There's no one like Ernie,
and there's not many hosts who are willing to say
(13:45):
I could take a step back and say less, and
that helps highlight our show better or or people still
appreciate what I do even though I'm not saying as
much or not doing as much with the ball, Like
i might not be scoring, but I'm passing a lot,
and that tends to make our show better. So there's
that element too of the way he hosts the show
(14:07):
that at least in my eyes, it's one of the
reasons why it makes them the best is because he
does stay out of it, Like how many how often
do you.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Hear her he really saying much?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
And you don't because that's not why you tune in
to their pregame show, their post, their their studio show.
You tune in and tune in and to see what
the other guys are going to say. All studio shows
should be the way. Unfortunately, most hosts don't handle themselves
that way.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Damn shots fired. I will say this.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Shots fire.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
It's just the reality of it, you know, like that's
just the truth of how these shows should be built.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
But they're the hosts.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
And I belave Sports Center for this Sports Center caused
hosts because of the highlight shows they have to build
up this this persona that people care what their opinions are.
And I think over time as we've seen so many
people cycle through ESPN and Sports Center, it's got to
a point where, like there might be certain personalities people
you like, for the most part, no one gives a crap.
(15:04):
You just want to see the highlights. You want to
see what happened in the game. Like, I don't care
what your opinion is on it. I just want to
see the game. If I want to hear an opinion,
bring on someone that did it before that has some
opinion on it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Like, that's it's simple. It's not that complicated.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
And now when you mentioned a producers giving host the
ability to freelance, that's really I think what separates Lee
from other producers.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
He gives us that a bill. That's right, Yeah, we
can freelize.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Dude, Lee is he is as flexible as it gets.
He's like yumpy, I mean that is I mean, Lee,
what is going on?
Speaker 6 (15:35):
By the way, why did you not have delivery Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yesterday?
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Uh, there's a lot of behind the scenes on that one. Uh,
to excuse me for the US, But Todd got back
from vacation and they had already filled his slot because
they weren't sure if he was going to make it
back in time, but I think he had a little
bit of personal business to wrap a bow on. So
I'm gonna reconvene with him today. We're gonna do a
(16:01):
little delivery Thursday. We won't technically be receiving kegs or
anything like that, but we're gonna do a little Uh.
We're contantly go.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Back over what what delivery Wednesday really means? Like, yes,
why could he not? So does he work somewhere as
a bar back or something.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
Well, he's the kJ he's the karaoke disc jockey kid
getting kegs right, Well, he's not serving the alcohol. So
he's there on Wednesdays to receive said kegs so that
the bartenders can show up and have everything ready received,
package delivered, all that stuff. So everything from kegs to
(16:37):
the flicker beers, all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
What are these kegs delivered?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Everywhere from eleven am to five pm?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, But he doesn't he doesn't have to work until
what time?
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Well, that particular on Wednesdays, he doesn't work that day,
so that is the that is his shift, but normally
he doesn't. He normally he doesn't work until seven p.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
M Till two am.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Okay, So so it's considered his shift because he's there
receiving the alcohol.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Correct, amundo, and then he.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Just partakes and drinking the alcohol. Yes, is this known
by whoever owns this establishment?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Let's not bury the lead here. He samples the goods. Yeah,
we gotta.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
That's the point of both me and him connoisseurs making
sure everything is ready to go.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I mean, I'm sure ownership really appreciates the fact that's
a cagabist.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Sample the entire time.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
By the way, the owners noticed that something Wednesday feels
a little light for some reason.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
By the way, the owners the owner's name is Todd,
also fan of the show, Hey Todd. So that gets
confusing for some people. Todd and Todd. But Todd and
Todd and I have an agreement.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Here's I am.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
I am more interested in meeting the other Todd that
owns it. I am talking to your Todd.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Here's the other part that should be pointed out. So
you mentioned you guys are going to get to Ether.
What movie you watching it? What terrible movie? Are you
guys watching?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
A Pool and Wolverine? I said, verse Wolverine? It's Deadpool
and Wolverine?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Is that it?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Are you guys gonna see it back to back or
is it gonna be one showing and that's good enough.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
One is good for me today.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
All right, So how many cocktails at Margaritaville before you
guys should walk into the movie.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
That's a good question. We're actually not going to city
walk today. We're going to another venue. But I can
give you an answer already, have it in text form.
Picking him up at twelve to one o'clock, one or two,
you knowing Todd, he won't roll out until two o'clock.
We'll have a flask ready, we'll have a six pack ready.
(18:38):
We got we got some we got some personal business
to get to. So we're probably gonna put down the
equivalent the equivalent of the equivalent of three or four
rounds before this movie, and then.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Just just a level of social life. I can't even conferend, like,
you know, I'm soul.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Business that you have to get to. You know, you know.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
He's going through a little bit of a heartbreak right now.
So I got riverside, So you know that means maybe
a little harder, maybe an extra round or two before
the Okay, here's what does this have to do with you.
I'm the best friend, dude, you don't. You never helped
the buddy with going through a heartbreak.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You said, we are going through something. He is going
through something. You were not going through a break up.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
I think I said he.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
We like, it's just all we're all heartbroken. It's a
social life.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
I literally can't even can't even comprehend, like you know what,
you know what I'm doing later today, I'm taking my
son to t ball. Lee's hiding a flask to go
into a movie theater. I can't even well, by the way,
how do you hide the six pack? Like how are
you getting that in there?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (19:48):
That you just go for right before you take three
p You roll up with that and you just you
smash it on the ground right in front of the
ticket taker. You're like boom, good to go.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Really, so is that like make your uh your sacrifice beer?
Like a we can't take these in, But meanwhile you
got a flask in your pocket.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Depends what you're feeling.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Okay, did you say you usually go with like a
sacrifice so like it throws them off?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Like that was probably, well, that's yeah, that's when you're
going into a full venue, like a three hour game
or something like that, where you're you're partaking, where you're
you're on the field with the with your team. Yeah,
would where you gotta picnic? You got a picnic basket,
a picodic basket.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
I mean that is that is a brilliant strategy. I mean,
if you think about like a security person, that's why.
Oh okay, that's it's not like there's no way they're
packing anything extra.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Meanwhile, it's that's a completely least plan. He's drinking.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
It's drinking a beer, drinking something before Oh yes, sir,
I'll throw this away. And meanwhile he's got a flask
stuck to his side.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
He's got it.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
He's got a twenty two of Oduel's and he's like, ah,
room of my day. Meanwhile, he's got Evan Williams to
the brim and a flask by his ankle. He's gonna
walk in with that's listen, don't. I don't want to
hear anybody accuse you and not thinking ahead. That's that's
bs all right, well done. So that's how you produce.
So we will have the aftermath of that coming up
tomorrow here on a football Friday here on Fox Sports Radio.

because of Monmouth in that connection.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
So it's too bad.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Which, by the way, it doesn't sound like he was
that close to Monmouth. He wasn't.

was in the vicinity.
Speaker 6 (32:57):

the ball out of Dodger Stadium and when you do that,
you are Express pros Pro of the weeks of congratulations
for show, Hey a Tani for being our Express pros
Pro of the week. By the way, what's the farthest
(35:32):
you hit a baseball when you were playing?
Speaker 6 (35:33):
Like, like, no idea if you had that is an absolute?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
I don't know, a thousand feet something that awesome?
Speaker 5 (35:43):
See that's awesome for seventy three?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Could you what's how bad your question was?
Speaker 6 (35:48):
Well, I mean, listen, I remember back in high school
how far I hit a home run?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Because you're the measuring technology.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
I guarantee you know what your max on benches or
squat or whatever you said lifts you were doing back
in the day, But you don't know how far you
hit a baseball. I'm saying you win at least four
twenty at least at least that guy went.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
I mean, the only thing I had going for me
was a lumitum bat and the fact that I did
a lot of curls or something.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
But sweet. Anyway, the point.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
Is Otani Otani hits bombs, which it goes to show
you if it was in the home run derby, do
we just assume, based in the format this year, that
he probably would have won it.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Yes, he's one of the great first of all talents
we've ever seen. And this is like I think I
saw a saw a stat he's got like approaching ten
home runs this season of at least four hundred and
fifty feet. Like that's like that's squaring up a baseball
at a level that nobody else can do it.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Did you could kind of make the case it might
be the greatest of all time.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
I know people don't want to hear that, but how
many people are as good as a hitter and a
pitcher as he has been. I understand he's not now,
but when he was pitching beforehand, Like he is a
rare combination of everything that you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
And to think that the Angels who had him and
Trout and were never able to win games. And then
Otani's doing what he's done year one with the Dodgers
right up the freeway, and you've got Mike Trout who
just got hurt again in a rehab assignment, which sucks.
I think he's thirty two now, so it feels like,
you know, he could start, he could be sort of
wearing down, like the Angel. Angel fans are probably looking
(37:29):
around going what the f man, Like, what do we got?
You know that that bad Danny Glover movie from back
in the day, Like that's all we got at this
point in time. So it's unfortunate, but our three is
next here on FSR

do we want to put a ball on this NBA
TV rights deal fiasco that's going on with Warner Brothers,
Discovery and Amazon and apparently they're going to take them
to court.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Now do we want to?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Do you have any more into I think it makes
sense to.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
I mean, instead of maybe just giving it two minutes
in a segment. You know, I'm not sure who made
that decision, but I mean it was just probably a
clockworked against this.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Yeah, that happens, right, Yeah, it happened.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
It wasn't like there was a rundown change. Was there
behind the scenes, someone thought that'd be a better idea.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
We need room for headline or live got to play
the hits?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Yeah, yep, maybe maybe we can.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We'll get to the hold and holdouts at some of
their point NFL.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
So tell me, what do you know? What?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
What is there a legitimate what?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
What?
Speaker 6 (01:47):
What's the legitimate case is the fact that I'm sure
within their agreement they had a right to match whatever
offer was presented. Now, why they went after and specifically presented,
you know, Amazon's offers is kind of interesting because it
appears that that's the one they're targeting the most. So
I'm not sure as to the specifics, but with most
of these deals, if you have the rights to it,
(02:08):
there's various negotiating periods, and there should have been a
negotiating window in which TNT, Warner Brother Discovery had the
opportunity to match what offers out there. The most fair
points you bring up is maybe something that you read
the notes, But that being said, it was, you know,
does the NBA want to have a platform that involves streaming?
(02:30):
In most cases it probably shouldn't matter. They would just
go to the highest bidder. But look at the NFL.
They've brought on Amazon, They've have Netflix. Now who's involved,
and it's a desire to not only increase revenue but
also start a partnership with streaming services that may very
well be how we all consume that sport ten twenty
(02:51):
years down the road. We're not there yet, And that's
the hard part is as much as we want to
act like streaming is a huge piece of all this,
it's not bigger than any of these TV networks and
their ability to broadcast linear television, so that still is
king for now. But teams are making the inroads for
streaming services and streaming services have deeper pockets. They've got
(03:13):
a lot more cash on hand. So that being said,
there is something to maybe wondering why the NBA, who
has had such a long partnership with TNT wouldn't want
to continue that relationship. And if they do want to
start off to have new relationships with Amazon, to have
streaming and kind of build out that portion of their viewership,
(03:35):
why is it then that Warner Brothers, you know, TNT
ends up being the one that takes a hit.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Why invite back NBC? Why have ESPN.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
ABCP a part of it, which gets the Lion's share
of obviously the finals games and a lot of the
actual share of the games that we played in the
regular season.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
So I want to clear this up. I did not
steal from the notes. I talked about this with Fred
Rogan yesterday when I filled it on the blowtur j
Am five seventy, and he pointed, okay that that could.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
No one here in the Midwest knew that or cared
about that.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Well, I'm just saying, like, I'm just letting people know
that he does.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Make sure whole point here a big ted media day
to see if they got your hot take with Fred Roach.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
No, no, I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
That's where I got my information from, not the show notes.
All right, I'm not going to be accused of being
a thief. I've never stolen anything, Okay, So I just
want to clear that's als Well, you're right, But the
point is, I also say this, if Barkley is going
to be gone after next year anyways, I don't care. Like,
to me, he's the star of that whole thing, Like
I love you know, Ernie and Kenny and Shack and
(04:44):
all that, but when he's not there, it's not the same.
And so if Warner Brothers, Discovery and TNT has got
NBA on TNT, which is really all.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I care about.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
If I'm being honest, for the next year, and it's
not going to be the same after that anyways, I mean,
what are we really missing here? I mean, yeah, Amazon
could throw a boatload of cash at him, but Barkley
sounds pretty convinced that he's done after this upcoming season,
and so whatever they try and pull off, he feels
like he's the real star that draws the most people
(05:14):
in and that's really to me where their value is.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
And with it all up in the air.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I look at it and I go, he's already calling
it and saying I'm done after this upcoming season. Where
they end up doesn't really matter to me, to be
honest with you. It sucks for the people they sit
behind the scenes. But you know, is what it is.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
My understanding of Charles Barkley stepping down had to do
with this potential rights issue that if the Brothers Discovery
had gotten the rights for the foreseeable future, that Charles
Barkley would work in that position longer. But because they won't,
then the show kind of goes away. And I know
they talked about the different potential opportunities for you know,
(05:55):
Barkley to buy the show and then he essentially, you know,
works with another network to do it. But you know,
when you do something like that, I mean, think about
the undertaking that would be. I mean, you're trying to
get everyone behind the scenes and all those different contracts
so you can get the same exact group not only
on camera but behind the camera to be a part
of that.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, I don't know that he wants to do all.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Of that, and so I think how he's looking at
it is I've worked for TNT it's been a great experience.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
If they're not doing it, I want to do it.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
So that's it's a consideration where if you're the NBA,
and I'm like you, I mean, I almost wonder if
the NBA is jealous of what TNT Whatever's Discovery is built.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
It wouldn't surprise me. I swear to God, like they
are the stars, Like I don't. You could put any
game on on a Thursday night, I don't care what
it is, and the game could be crap, Like we've
talked about this, Like I would rather watch those guys
in the actual game.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Like there's some playoff games.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I'd rather watch that show pre halftime post than the
instead of the game itself. And I do wonder if
there's some envy from people in the industry to go
we don't have that, so if we can't get it,
let's try and destroy it. But that's I mean, that's
where I look at it.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
It feels a little bit like it if I mean,
that's a sillicle way of thinking.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
But it feels a little bit like that. That's the
case here.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Either way, I think it brings up the greater point
the NBA is able to with this new deal eleven
year deal earn what's seventy six billion dollars, which I
still go back to, outside of the sheer number of
games that you have to put on TV, how does
the number get this big? I mean, have their ratings
not been in decline for years at least through the
(07:45):
course of the regular season. So if the package you're
selling isn't even getting the amount of viewership, how are
these networks paying for this?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Because they're all sharing in this.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
None of the models makes sense for any of these
TV networks that are overpaying for live events and sports.
I know that's king right now, but it doesn't make
any sense as to how.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
They were able to pay the bills for this.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
I mean unless I'm missing something and someone wants to
point out where their ratings have been increasing for the NBA.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Which it hasn't been. It hasn't been the case.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
No, I mean maybe even maybe point to the NBA Finals,
maybe a few different series, but in regards to overall,
there's been a viewership decline best of plateau, So that's
more of like my my concern is what's the NBA
doing to grow their viewership and how are these TV
networks going to make any money off of this.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
It's and it's not like for lack of trying. I mean,
it is forced down everybody. I'll say, look, we can
talk about the w NBA and kind of scoff at it.
That actually has grown like that, that has seen an
increase and that has seen an increase in popularity to
where it feels like the NBA is just it's stagnant
at times, and they can try and make all the
(08:58):
in season gimmicky tournaments. I just I think people look
at it and go, Football's king. And we'll address the
NBA when we get to it after the season in February.
And then they start, but by that time, you're months
into the year and you've lost all the potential viewership
you could have gotten, and it just leads to the decline,
(09:18):
and it leads to people, you know, waiting around for
the NFL to start, and then you've got the NFL
Draft and everything else. It just feels like everybody's fighting
for scraps from what the NFL leaves over. By the way,
speaking of the NFL, or just go ahead, sorry about that.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
No, I was just saying to your point that the
WNBA now has a't grown in viewership. But you know,
they announced as part of this deal some of the
additional viewing that will be available too, so I assume
it will continue to grow. I mean, maybe they'll head
a plateau at some point, or maybe people will get
fed up with essentially none of the women being able
to support one another, right, like no one being able
(09:52):
just to say, hey, we're all trying to build this league,
let's just be supportive of one another.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
It's like we have to.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Have these heroes, these villains, these these various takes. But
I digress. The one thing the WNBA knows is they're
just still going to be getting money from the NBA
year of a year to help them with their private
flights and everything else that they've been you know, so
have to be like so frank about asking for So
that's at least healthy for the WNBA as well.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Now, when you guys are because I do wonder about this,
and you may have touched on this before, but at
Big Noon kickoff, when you guys are looking at sort
of the standard what you want to model the show after,
not that you would steal from it, but do you
look at the NBA on TNT and is the conversation
kicked around how are they doing it like as opposed
(10:42):
to where maybe some of these other studio shows might
have envy towards it, maybe there's an appreciation towards they've
got something there. How do we get to that point?
Like what can we do like when you guys were
first starting, because you've obviously grown, your ratings have increased
every single year. You guys have been fantastic. Are they
still where everybody looks at? Or at least for the
(11:03):
most part, that's what you were hoping to get to
one day? And it's why they've been on for twenty
plus years.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
I would define them as the standard. I think everyone
aspires to be what they are. It's just unrealistic for
a couple of reasons. The first being most producers, most
people who are executives and producers, they just they wouldn't
allow for a lot of the I don't want to
say freelance or improvisation, but I don't know that they
(11:32):
would trust talent to have this stuff build in. You know,
if you look at a rundown and a rundown and
in essence just you know, a sheet that has a
time clock or a time stamp, next to every second
of the show, Like producers will fill out every second
of the show and they want to make sure they
(11:52):
have something for it so that nothing goes unaccounted for. Well,
if you were to submit that to your boss, you've
got sections that are blank. Feel like, well, what's going here?
Oh well, Charles and Kenny want to talk about something.
You know, there'll be like a five minute segment. They
told us they take care of it. Well, that takes
a lot of trust, trust the talent, trusting the producer,
trust the behind the.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Scenes being able to follow what they're saying.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
So if all of a sudden, Charles bark We starts
talking about the stats for the Dallas Mavericks and Luka
Dachez and Kyrie Irving, they need to be ready to
throw that graphic up. They need to be ready to
throw the video up of whatever he's calling for looking for.
So it's a lot more stress behind the scenes, I think,
And also it puts a lot more pressure on those
operating behind the scenes to do their job and listen
(12:36):
to what the show's saying.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Now, as an analyst, I would say that's how the
show should be like.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Ultimately, the behind the scenes should always be following what's
happening out there for any show. But the truth is
it doesn't work that way because in a corporate America,
it doesn't work that way. You've got a boss, you've
got someone who's overseeing something else, and they don't like
seeing things that aren't field in that aren't you know,
counted for at some point. So that's the reality, and
(13:03):
that's the number one biggest issue is there is just
there's not necessarily a lack of trust, but there's just
not the ability to freelance the way they can. And
I think the other thing is is you know, no
one's Charles Barkley, no one's Kse Smith, no one's Shack,
no one's Ernie.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I mean, for as much as we highlight the.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Actual analysts because they are fantastic and what they do,
Ernie Johnson is a unique host where he allows for
it like he's the point guard. He's the one who
allows for the conversations to take place or can set
them up with very simple teases. There's no one like Ernie,
and there's not many hosts who are willing to say
(13:45):
I could take a step back and say less, and
that helps highlight our show better or or people still
appreciate what I do even though I'm not saying as
much or not doing as much with the ball, Like
i might not be scoring, but I'm passing a lot,
and that tends to make our show better. So there's
that element too of the way he hosts the show
(14:07):
that at least in my eyes, it's one of the
reasons why it makes them the best is because he
does stay out of it, Like how many how often
do you.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Hear her he really saying much?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
And you don't because that's not why you tune in
to their pregame show, their post, their their studio show.
You tune in and tune in and to see what
the other guys are going to say. All studio shows
should be the way. Unfortunately, most hosts don't handle themselves
that way.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Damn shots fired. I will say this.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Shots fire.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
It's just the reality of it, you know, like that's
just the truth of how these shows should be built.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
But they're the hosts.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
And I belave Sports Center for this Sports Center caused
hosts because of the highlight shows they have to build
up this this persona that people care what their opinions are.
And I think over time as we've seen so many
people cycle through ESPN and Sports Center, it's got to
a point where, like there might be certain personalities people
you like, for the most part, no one gives a crap.
(15:04):
You just want to see the highlights. You want to
see what happened in the game. Like, I don't care
what your opinion is on it. I just want to
see the game. If I want to hear an opinion,
bring on someone that did it before that has some
opinion on it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Like, that's it's simple. It's not that complicated.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
And now when you mentioned a producers giving host the
ability to freelance, that's really I think what separates Lee
from other producers.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
He gives us that a bill. That's right, Yeah, we
can freelize.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Dude, Lee is he is as flexible as it gets.
He's like yumpy, I mean that is I mean, Lee,
what is going on?
Speaker 6 (15:35):
By the way, why did you not have delivery Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yesterday?
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Uh, there's a lot of behind the scenes on that one. Uh,
to excuse me for the US, But Todd got back
from vacation and they had already filled his slot because
they weren't sure if he was going to make it
back in time, but I think he had a little
bit of personal business to wrap a bow on. So
I'm gonna reconvene with him today. We're gonna do a
(16:01):
little delivery Thursday. We won't technically be receiving kegs or
anything like that, but we're gonna do a little Uh.
We're contantly go.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Back over what what delivery Wednesday really means? Like, yes,
why could he not? So does he work somewhere as
a bar back or something.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
Well, he's the kJ he's the karaoke disc jockey kid
getting kegs right, Well, he's not serving the alcohol. So
he's there on Wednesdays to receive said kegs so that
the bartenders can show up and have everything ready received,
package delivered, all that stuff. So everything from kegs to
(16:37):
the flicker beers, all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
What are these kegs delivered?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Everywhere from eleven am to five pm?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, But he doesn't he doesn't have to work until
what time?
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Well, that particular on Wednesdays, he doesn't work that day,
so that is the that is his shift, but normally
he doesn't. He normally he doesn't work until seven p.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
M Till two am.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Okay, So so it's considered his shift because he's there
receiving the alcohol.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Correct, amundo, and then he.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Just partakes and drinking the alcohol. Yes, is this known
by whoever owns this establishment?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Let's not bury the lead here. He samples the goods. Yeah,
we gotta.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
That's the point of both me and him connoisseurs making
sure everything is ready to go.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I mean, I'm sure ownership really appreciates the fact that's
a cagabist.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Sample the entire time.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
By the way, the owners noticed that something Wednesday feels
a little light for some reason.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
By the way, the owners the owner's name is Todd,
also fan of the show, Hey Todd. So that gets
confusing for some people. Todd and Todd. But Todd and
Todd and I have an agreement.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Here's I am.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
I am more interested in meeting the other Todd that
owns it. I am talking to your Todd.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Here's the other part that should be pointed out. So
you mentioned you guys are going to get to Ether.
What movie you watching it? What terrible movie? Are you
guys watching?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
A Pool and Wolverine? I said, verse Wolverine? It's Deadpool
and Wolverine?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Is that it?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Are you guys gonna see it back to back or
is it gonna be one showing and that's good enough.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
One is good for me today.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
All right, So how many cocktails at Margaritaville before you
guys should walk into the movie.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
That's a good question. We're actually not going to city
walk today. We're going to another venue. But I can
give you an answer already, have it in text form.
Picking him up at twelve to one o'clock, one or two,
you knowing Todd, he won't roll out until two o'clock.
We'll have a flask ready, we'll have a six pack ready.
(18:38):
We got we got some we got some personal business
to get to. So we're probably gonna put down the
equivalent the equivalent of the equivalent of three or four
rounds before this movie, and then.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
Just just a level of social life. I can't even conferend, like,
you know, I'm soul.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Business that you have to get to. You know, you know.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
He's going through a little bit of a heartbreak right now.
So I got riverside, So you know that means maybe
a little harder, maybe an extra round or two before
the Okay, here's what does this have to do with you.
I'm the best friend, dude, you don't. You never helped
the buddy with going through a heartbreak.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You said, we are going through something. He is going
through something. You were not going through a break up.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
I think I said he.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
We like, it's just all we're all heartbroken. It's a
social life.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
I literally can't even can't even comprehend, like you know what,
you know what I'm doing later today, I'm taking my
son to t ball. Lee's hiding a flask to go
into a movie theater. I can't even well, by the way,
how do you hide the six pack? Like how are
you getting that in there?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (19:48):
That you just go for right before you take three
p You roll up with that and you just you
smash it on the ground right in front of the
ticket taker. You're like boom, good to go.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Really, so is that like make your uh your sacrifice beer?
Like a we can't take these in, But meanwhile you
got a flask in your pocket.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Depends what you're feeling.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Okay, did you say you usually go with like a
sacrifice so like it throws them off?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Like that was probably, well, that's yeah, that's when you're
going into a full venue, like a three hour game
or something like that, where you're you're partaking, where you're
you're on the field with the with your team. Yeah,
would where you gotta picnic? You got a picnic basket,
a picodic basket.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
I mean that is that is a brilliant strategy. I mean,
if you think about like a security person, that's why.
Oh okay, that's it's not like there's no way they're
packing anything extra.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Meanwhile, it's that's a completely least plan. He's drinking.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
It's drinking a beer, drinking something before Oh yes, sir,
I'll throw this away. And meanwhile he's got a flask
stuck to his side.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
He's got it.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
He's got a twenty two of Oduel's and he's like, ah,
room of my day. Meanwhile, he's got Evan Williams to
the brim and a flask by his ankle. He's gonna
walk in with that's listen, don't. I don't want to
hear anybody accuse you and not thinking ahead. That's that's
bs all right, well done. So that's how you produce.
So we will have the aftermath of that coming up
tomorrow here on a football Friday here on Fox Sports Radio.

the ball out of Dodger Stadium and when you do that,
you are Express pros Pro of the weeks of congratulations
for show, Hey a Tani for being our Express pros
Pro of the week. By the way, what's the farthest
(35:32):
you hit a baseball when you were playing?
Speaker 6 (35:33):
Like, like, no idea if you had that is an absolute?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
I don't know, a thousand feet something that awesome?
Speaker 5 (35:43):
See that's awesome for seventy three?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Could you what's how bad your question was?
Speaker 6 (35:48):
Well, I mean, listen, I remember back in high school
how far I hit a home run?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Because you're the measuring technology.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
I guarantee you know what your max on benches or
squat or whatever you said lifts you were doing back
in the day, But you don't know how far you
hit a baseball. I'm saying you win at least four
twenty at least at least that guy went.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
I mean, the only thing I had going for me
was a lumitum bat and the fact that I did
a lot of curls or something.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
But sweet. Anyway, the point.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
Is Otani Otani hits bombs, which it goes to show
you if it was in the home run derby, do
we just assume, based in the format this year, that
he probably would have won it.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Yes, he's one of the great first of all talents
we've ever seen. And this is like I think I
saw a saw a stat he's got like approaching ten
home runs this season of at least four hundred and
fifty feet. Like that's like that's squaring up a baseball
at a level that nobody else can do it.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Did you could kind of make the case it might
be the greatest of all time.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
I know people don't want to hear that, but how
many people are as good as a hitter and a
pitcher as he has been. I understand he's not now,
but when he was pitching beforehand, Like he is a
rare combination of everything that you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
And to think that the Angels who had him and
Trout and were never able to win games. And then
Otani's doing what he's done year one with the Dodgers
right up the freeway, and you've got Mike Trout who
just got hurt again in a rehab assignment, which sucks.
I think he's thirty two now, so it feels like,
you know, he could start, he could be sort of
wearing down, like the Angel. Angel fans are probably looking
(37:29):
around going what the f man, Like, what do we got?
You know that that bad Danny Glover movie from back
in the day, Like that's all we got at this
point in time. So it's unfortunate, but our three is
next here on FSR
