Speaker 4 (00:19):
On a day where the final golf major of the
year is underway, an NBA star was traded, and we
found out when next year's baseball season will start, we
are talking about the news that happened within the last
two hours. Iowa Sam thinking that the now late Bob
Newhart was on Mary Tyler Moore.

Speaker 5 (00:42):
That is thank you.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Stella did want to correct that this was.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
On the Doug Gottlieb Show earlier today. People are wondering
why we haven't mentioned it. Irwin M. Fletcher tweets in
why we haven't mentioned Sam's error. We will get get
to that sotter of moments. Well, we are in for
the guys today. Bursus here, Nick coppis here. Let's get rolling.

(01:07):
As we were broadcasting live with the Tirerec dot Com
studios Tyerrec dot Com. We'll help you get there. An
unmatched selection fast free shipping, Free road has a protection
and over ten thousand recommended in Sallos tyerrec dot com.
The way tire buying should be. Were you thinking of
someone else or were you thinking that Bob Newhart, who
unfortunately passed away today at the age of ninety four,

(01:28):
that he appeared on a different show. Where was your
line of thinking in making that error earlier? Today's going
to soften this stands for You're going to soften the
stands for you. I think from watching you know, reruns
on Nick at Night. I had watched the original The
Bob Newhart Show, which I think was on in the
seventies and maybe the eighties, and then Mary Tyler Moore,

(01:49):
which was on during the seventies and I don't know that,
maybe the early eighties. And I think that I maybe
confused ed Asner's role on The Mary Tyler Moore Show
with Bob Newhart. But those two shows are on at
the same time, and for some reason, my brain, not
having seen those shows for a while, thought that Bob
Newhart was on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Yeah, I think that's just an honest mistake. It is
it is. I think it's the time. The timeframes do
run together a little bit there, so I could see that. Sorry.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Ed Asner and Bob Newhart were both in the movie Elf,
which I've only seen pieces of.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
This is Iowa Sam's way of trying to not just
accept the mistake, but then trying to rebound it by
telling you a tidbit that you may not have known.
So instead of just accepting it and accepting and making
the error, he's trying to He's trying to reel himself
back in the even.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
I fact checked myself and I found out I was wrong,
So I just, I mean.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
I still think you're on tilt.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Though by giving us this Bob Newhart tidbit that no one.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Asked for, I could just die.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
No one, and I'm not talking about us five, I'm
talking about everybody else that's listening. There was no one
who wondered when Bob Newhart and ed Asner actually did
team up and they won't be using that tonight and.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Did good trivia for uh yeah, for the day that
he or we found out they passed.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
Yeah, we did not. We did not ask for that though,
did We didn't know We're not part of it. We
just din't like did you want to own up to
the to the gaff.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
This chapter's closed.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Feel good about it earlier this week, and I feel
bad because Aaron Torres isn't here to defend himself, but
he handled it well, made the mistake, especially with Mancy
sitting at the news desk Monzy loves Friends, she's a
huge Friends fan, saying that Seinfeld and Friends had a crossover,
which was not the case, and it was Friends and
Mad About You that.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
Had the crossover.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
That makes sense with Phoebe's sister twin sister Ursula, who
wasn't Mad about You, and Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt
did end up appearing in an episode of Friends with
that same sort of joke going on, and then he
was not aware of that. Yes, well there you know that.
And then Big Mike came in to say, like, it
wasn't Phoebe, it was Ursula, so it was her sister.

(04:04):
So it was that's how our week is. That's how
it's bad. That's that's been our week. Couldn't be bad.
That's three oh five. So I know Mike is gone.
He did not hear any of that. He is out
the building. Hit the rock.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
I saw a silhouette walk by as you said that,
So I'm not sure yet.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
I started the show today in talking golf because and
the only way that I can talk golf here on
Fox Sports Radio is to either talk about the PGA
Tour and.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Live or to talk about Tiger Woods.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
And I just need sixty seconds because there was something
that I didn't get to earlier today, but I want
to know your opinion on it, because Twitter was up
in arms and over in hearing about this. Tiger was
playing today and the sky scored the sports broadcast, an
analyst mentioned that Tiger appeared to look like he was

(04:55):
on painkillers and looked somewhat drowsy or not into it. Now,
this may go along with Colin Montgomery saying that Tiger
doesn't look like he's enthused or not, and all of
Twitter was outraged over the comments. I think it is
a reckless comment to make. Yeah, I would also say,
on the other hand, that I wouldn't doubt if he's

(05:16):
on painkillers for the amount of what he's had to
do to be able to get through a four, you know, hour,
four plus hour round of golf when it's fifty degrees
and in the wind. I mean like, I just I
know that the appearance of Tiger may not have been
the best, But I don't know who looks great when
it's fifty degrees blowing wind and rain and overcast on

(05:38):
the shores you know of of Scotland. But it's the
fact of if someone actually set it out loud without
the actual knowledge of it, that everybody up in arms.
But you do have the audio, Nick, you do have this, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I got some audio.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah, let's let's hear this on the ground.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
And you look at the eyes. You've gotta say that
I got to paint kills men take into COVID the king,
you know, not easy. So you hear the comment completely reckless,
but it also did sound empathetic towards Tiger, right to
the point that I'm making of like, yeah, I don't
think you announced that, but I wouldn't doubt if that's

(06:17):
the case in just trying to compete, like he's trying
to compete.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Oh yeah, he's probably. I don't even think there's a
probable win that I'm sure he is on something to
kind of alleviate the pain. I mean, I was in
the league where I saw that happen on a daily
basis to get ready to play one game. So a
grueling attorney where he hasn't had a lot of playing time,

(06:40):
he probably is on something to alleviate that.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
There's Tiger plus eight thirteen shots back of the lead
hell by Shane Lowry. You heard Nick Cope mentioned it.
Tomorrow likely to be Tiger's final round at the Open
unless he can get something going because he's not likely
to play the weekend. Dak Prescott likely to play out
this season for the Dallas Cowboys, and then who knows
what's happening after that, And you're gonna get a lot

(07:06):
more of Dak discussions, especially as training camps get underway
and what Dallas is doing. And there's a group of
do you like Dak? Do you believe in Dak? And
then there's the group of I don't believe in Dak,
Dak needs to be gone. I'm in the former. I
actually believe in Dak. I don't think it's Dak's fault
that the Cowboys couldn't tackle Aaron Jones and the Green

(07:26):
Bay Packers or stop them by any means in their
game wild card game in the NFL Playoffs last year,
in that wildcard round that is not Dak Prescott's fault.
I think Dak Prescott is a fully capable quarterback. The
question of can you go to San Francisco and win
a game when you need it? Can you go to
Philadelphia in the playoffs and win a game when you
need it? Can you do that in Detroit if you're

(07:49):
gonna go there? Those are the questions that Dak has
yet to answer, and really to win a playoff game
maybe that you shouldn't have won. He has yet to
answer those questions. But I am I am on team
day in the sense of I believe in him as
a quarterback. I believe that the Cowboys should have locked
him up as a quarterback. I am not giving up
on Dak Prescott by any means. Where are you when

(08:10):
it comes to the Cowboys signal caller?

Speaker 5 (08:11):
I'm okay with them not locking him up, and it's
almost a proven year in theory, I'm okay with that.
I also think Dak is Dak is Dak. Dak has
been really good, and you know, he's had some moments
where he hasn't shined in the playoffs, but you can
say that for a lot of other quarterbacks as well.
If you're not winning it, then at the end of

(08:33):
the day, you're not You're losing at some point in
the playoffs. So yes, Dallas as a team has failed
overall and failed miserably, but I wouldn't just put that
on Dak, And so for me, I would say, yeah,
I think Dak's really good, and I think he's actually
exceeded what I thought he'd be in this league anyway.
You know, he came in as a fourth round pick.
You know, obviously he had some success early, played well,

(08:56):
put up numbers, hasn't won the big games. But again,
like I said, you can say that for just about
any other quarterback outside of Patrick Mahomes. So I think
Dallas did keep him. But in a play it situation,
I'm okay with that as well. Dak was really good. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Last year, Yeah, really good. There were two games that
you could consider stinkers. A lost to Buffalo that they
had in mid December. There's another contest against the forty
nine ers that we saw in national TV when they
just couldn't do anything.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
He was in the MVP conversation throughout the year. He
was really good.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
I sometimes get distracted and get veered because of fantasy
football yeah, he was money in fantasy football, and so
I know that he was putting up numbers, So that's
not a question. So now when you hear this phrase, Carrie,
because we're gonna hear some audio from a former Cowboys
Super Bowl champion who believes Dak Prescott should be traded.
That's what's going to get the headlines. But the real

(09:53):
conversation comes from a point of not about Dak Prescott
the player, but about Jerry Jones running the Cowboys. And
so if you're on the side of Dak Prescott like
I am, you likely share this opinion that was given
by Charles Haley and how Jerry Jones is actually the
reason why this problem exists because they didn't take care

(10:14):
of the people that they needed to when they needed to,
and now they have to pay everyone. This is what
Charles Haley had to say about what he thinks the
Cowboys future should be.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
He kept backloading everything, so now he screwed. So now
he you know, you know, if Bill came do and
he doesn't have the money to be able to do that,
and so what he's gonna have to do is he's
gonna have to find another way around the side of
cap or push all the older guys salary cap way back,

(10:45):
and then you don't know whether these guy's gonna play
one year or two years. And then all of it
come do again. So he played, he gambled a long time,
and now the time is up. So I can tell
you this trade that just put him up for the trade?
What every team in the league be after me?

Speaker 5 (11:02):
Yeah, every team.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
In the league. Dak is a winner. Dak is a
great person, a great leader.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
I know.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
I go up there all the time, CD Lamb, quiet
guy leader. He wants the ball here at Jerry Wright,
just give it to me. I want Yeah, And so
how do you how do you not keep those guys together?

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Charles Haley speaking of the truth on upping Adams with
Kay Adams, and I mean, I agree his point about
every other team in the NFL outside of maybe Kansas
City and Cincinnati and Buffalo and a few others would
be in I'll tell you what. The teams that are
sitting there in the bottom half of their quarterback positions
in the NFL would want Dak Prescott as their starting quarterback.

(11:45):
There would absolutely be a market. I wholeheartedly agree with
Charles Haley. This is not a Dak problem. In Dallas,
it was a Jerry Jones problem.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
Yeah, I agree with that. I think a lot of
times you try to operate from a system of something
that's outdated, and that seems like, you know, Jerry Jones
has been outdated for a while in here and as
being the majority guy making those decisions, and uh, yeah,
it's probably time him to move on. You know.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
The crazy thing about Jerry Jones and the decisions that
he's made at times with contracts was Jerry Jones has
wanted to win a Super Bowl so bad with the
Dallas Cowboys and has even talked about and I'm not
trying to be morbid here, but he's like, I want
to win a super Bowl before I died. Like that's
you know, that's that's the goal. And so that you

(12:29):
felt that there was some emergency and this is before
the we're all in season talk that was this year
that now doesn't seem to have come to fruition, right.
I felt like he gave Zeke the contract because he
felt that that season when he did, it was the
season that they could win it or they were in
that window, and so paying him at that time made
sense to Jerry because of how important Ezekiel Elliott was

(12:52):
to that team, and so at that point he was
making a unique decision and paying the running back before
he paid anybody else. Well, they also gave Dak his
contract after he broke his leg, right, you know, so
like so like these scenarios, like you thought it would
be worst case scenario for Dak Prescott to play that season,

(13:13):
and then we see him break his leg on national
TV and then we find out, oh, guess what, it
doesn't matter if you're a quarterback in the NFL. If
you show that you're capable, someone's gonna want to pay
you money. And Dallas ended up then having to pay
Dak Prescott now coming off of a broken leg. But
this isn't this, This isn't a just a this year's
sort of thing.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
With Jerry.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
They've he's always done it his own way. And while
we give them credit for certain drafts that they've had
and draft picks that they have made, and maybe the
Mike McCarthy hiring and Heck McCarthy taking over the offense
last year, Dallas did seem to go to a different
level with Dak. The running game wasn't there because the
offensive line was maybe wasn't there, but they did seem
to be much more potent on offense than they were

(13:54):
a year ago. But all of Jerry's decisions that he's
made previously have put the Cowboys in the decision in
the spot that they're now. And these decisions, by the way,
have been going going on for years that they've been
making bad timing decisions in Dallas. This is nothing new.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
Yeah, no, it's nothing new. The Holden pattern has been
just that we've been impressed with certain moves that he's
made in the draft, bringing in certain guys. Obviously you
know Dak Zeke, those guys coming in CD, all those guys.
I mean, the draft has been good to him. But
at the end of the day, you know, when you
have neglige is you know, when you're negligent towards you know,

(14:28):
taking care of guys and wing you take care of guys,
it's always going to be a problem in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Do you know how many full time quarterbacks had a
better passer rating than Dak Prescott last year? Do you
know how many full time quarterbacks who started a majority
of their games for the teams one that is correct? Yes, yes,
And it was brock Purty, and I had said on
this program a few days ago that if I had

(14:53):
to choose between Dak Prescott and brock Purty, I would
choose Dak Prescott ten out of ten times for the
quarterback that he is. I know, Perdy's got moxie. Yeah,
I know he's got that that little stuff. But still
I just think Dak is a better quarterback. So all
of these, all of these conversations about like do you
pay Dak or like it's to me, it's pretty disrespectful

(15:13):
to Dak for what he's accomplished in the season that
he's he's come off of, Like QB raining wise, you know,
there was only one quarterback better, And I would actually
have to say that Dak probably accomplished, you know more,
or needed to do more on that team because of
what was around him as opposed to all of the
luxuries that brock perty has in San Francisco.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
Yeah, and the proof is in the pudding as well.
I mean, the careers don't stack up obviously. I mean,
even if you do, you do the eye test, you're
going to take Dak, and then career wise, you're going
to take Dak. Right now, I mean, Brock Perty still
early and we still are kind of I'm still a
little resigned on what he is at this moment. So
Rock Yeah, I'm perty for sure. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
And the forty nine ers are, you know, finding out
too as well, Like they're I don't think they're going
to trade Brandon Ayuka. I don't think that that's I
don't think that's in the cards. This is the year
that the Niners need to win it, like, like truly
of Nick Cope, am I getting this is? I'm just
saying this because he's a resident Niners fan, n literally
wearing a forty nine Er shirt. I believe as we speak,

(16:11):
this is the year. Like if it doesn't happen this year,
that window is is is closed. The storm windows are
up now, not that it's completely over, but this is
this is the year, right, Yes.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
I mean it seems like Trent Williams, who's the backbone
of the offensive line, you know, he he could be
retiring at a moment's notice. I mean, knock on wood
McCaffrey was and it has been very healthy for them,
but you think about his health. Yeah, they're in win
now mode. Brandon trading Brandon Ayuk for picks does nothing
to help him for this season.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah, right, and that's why this season is super important
because then you're two gonna have to pay rock party.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
I think San Francisco has been win MO for the
last couple of years and so this is very dire. Yeah,
this is I mean, this is gonna make a breakdown
for you know, just even from top to bottom. Shanahan
as well, Like he's going to be you know, hild
accountable at this point. It's it's been some some disappointments
and some good teams and you know, but they don't
get it done this year. It's going to be some

(17:09):
some change there. You know.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
How I knew that the microscope on Shanahan was was
zeroing in was the discussion at the Super Bowl about
on what you want to do with the football, because
it was a discussion that I had overtime again, overtime
that I had never considered. And in fact, I was

(17:32):
on with Aaron Torres and Jason Martin and their post
game show and from the Super Bowl when I was
at the game and they were talking about the the
fervor that was going on online of people of saying
that the forty nine ers made the wrong decision and
doing so knowing that the Chiefs are going to get
a possession to be able to match and then have

(17:52):
the opportunity to the top. But that's also how you
know that Kyle Shanahan is being second guest when that
pops to the front, because then you're thinking back to
twenty eight to three with the falcons of Patriots, when
he's the offensive coordinator throwing the passes that they did
late in that game. You think of Super Bowl fifty
four when they had their opportunity when they're up double

(18:14):
digits with what like seven minutes to go in the
game and end up losing it. That's when you know
that Kyle Shanahan, to your point, is under that microscope
when all of these things just readily and immediately pop up.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Does dan Quinn get another coaching job if he wears
twenty eight to three more than Kyle Shanahan does. It's amazing.
It's amazing how everyone calls that Kyle Shanahan's Super Bowl
loss right and not dan Quinn's not not to rehash
a Super Bowl from six years ago, but it always
tickles me.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah, you're right, though you don't hear a lot about Dan,
And I've known Dan for a long time. He's the
coach with me and with the Jets, so I saw
his his a football acumen, he has a lot of it,
and so for him to have that happen at that
time and not get to blame, I agree with Nick
on that actually.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
A little bit yeah, and it should come down to
the to the head coach. But I would say that
it took Quinn a while. Quinn was thought to be
a possibility in Seattle. It was thought that Denver wanted
him at one point or could have been an option,
and then those options ended up going elsewhere, whether Sean
Payton ends up taking over and then Mike McDonald in Seattle.

(19:20):
And honestly, like, I don't think that the Commanders were
pumped that they got Dan Quinn. Maybe a different feeling now,
but like the Commander fan base at the time kind
of felt yeah, like, oh great, we.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Have Dan Quinn.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
I don't know if I don't know if that is
wearing any of the twenty eight to three. I also
think that there was inner. I don't think offense and
defense saw eye to eye with that Falcons team. You
don't think so, no, no, that there was just that
there was a divide there, and I don't I don't
think it was. I don't think it was you know, bears,

(19:53):
you know, or Buddy Ryan punching Kevin Gilbride with the
Oilers back in the day.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
That was fun. Okay, I can't lie. I don't think that.
I don't think it was that the vibe.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
But you know, to the point of I'm sure the
offense is saying, well, heck, we gave you a twenty
five point lead, can't you get a stop right, you know,
and you're gonna blame us for dropping back, And I
think that's what Knick's point is. But still, you have
an opportunity and you just can't take a sack, and
you took a sack.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
It's crazy because their style of play, I mean, you know,
Santahan's offenses have been explosive, but there's always been balanced
to It has always been based off the stretch and
the run and the play action like that's always kind
of been part of its staple. And it seems like
like methodology wise, that would fit really well with what
Dan did. So it's it's it's it's it's weird to
kind of hear that but maybe I know that he

(20:41):
was with Matt Ryan in his MVP season. Yeah, but
I also think that that like that, I don't think
if Kyle Shanahan as the quarterback whishperer, I think more
of the running game because of then of what his
dad did and then what he does and now what's
going on in San Francisco. Now it really helps when
brock perty is whatever. But I don't I I don't

(21:03):
think that I've I've never thought of that overall sense
of him being the guy who's gonna turn your quarterback around,
which is I wonder, now what's gonna happen with Sam
Donald in Minnesota?

Speaker 4 (21:14):
How does that year turn out? Does Sam Donald work
out and Kyle Shanahan gets the credit or you know?
Or how is that gonna end up playing out? But
I just thought it was more of the running game
than anything.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
Yeah, I think more running game. And with Donald, since
you threw out Donald, I'm actually expecting him to play
really well this year. I think he has the tools
and I want to see I actually want to see
him succeed Dak or Donald. Who do you want? I'm
taking Dak.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Of a joke, but he's carrying roads I'm Dan Byer
at Carrie twenty five Roads Find Me and Byer on Fox. Sam,
I am, by the way, if you just joined us,
our Sam messed up earlier by saying that Bob Newhart,
the late Bob Newhart who passed away today, appeared on
the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Sam, you have apologized for that.

(22:00):
You have any more Bob Newhart tidbits to make up
for your earlier off the air.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
Sam also said he was in the episode of Martin
Too it was weird. Yeah, I don't know. I don't
know if I really trust what's going on today from
from from Iowa.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Sam, Yeah, I'm not trustworthy today. I think this case
is closed. I think we've covered this, and thank you
to the the Fletch parody account that has pointed out.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
But you apologize, apologized the to the listener.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
I felt stupid, but now I feel like I've a
toned this.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
This is where Sam and I are just one of
the same because I say wrong things on the air
and it bothers me for hours and then days, and
I just I and then and then you then you
end up correcting it, and all it does is to
make it worse because it brings it back to the forefront.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
Yeah, it's true. Well I just said no instead of
saying Novak Djokovi, I said the joker. So I mean,
you know, if we want to go there, I said that.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
We still call him the joker. It's just think of
you know, now more of the joke, Isn't there? Like
a now a new player in the NBA named like
timol So serious?

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Sam? Why so serious? He's trying to be right on
something else?

Speaker 6 (23:03):
Dan?

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Leave him alone? Yes, you're right, you're right.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
You're catching his name like first name rhymes with nicola
or something.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Yeah, yeah, it is Topitch.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Topitch is the draft Okay, yeah, okay too.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
All right, got it. It's Communo on Er. It's here

I'm Dan Byer, glad to have you with us. Nick
Cope is going to give us the latest of what's
happening in the world of sports in just a matter
of seconds. But Open Championship happening. It's All Star weekend
in the WNBA, and then they get ready for the Olympics.

(24:47):
Are you in the Team USA?

Speaker 5 (24:49):
Oops?

Speaker 4 (24:50):
It all the exhibitions, it's top Serbia mentioned Carmelo earlier
as your guy in his Olympic legacy that I listen. No,
I'm not laughing because I agree with you that he
was a big part of it. And it helps when

(25:10):
Kobe's like, well, I'll just play defense, you know, like
I'll be that guy like it, So it helps him
And you're right, you are not wrong in any of
them of that. But did you watch you watch the
games against Serbia? Do you watch any of those matchups? No,
I have not watched any yet.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
Obviously, I've kept up with it because I that's what
I'm here to do my job, so I keep up
with it. But I have not seen a full game yet.
But I do hear all the complaining about embiid at
the moment. So that's been a big topic of discussion. Yeah,
it's tiring for me, to be honest. It's just the
of now, like now we're going to critique these guys,

(25:48):
like just let's get to the Olympics, Let's play these games,
let's find out see how it plays out. I'm not
all in for the I do find.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
An interesting, you know, and like how a Canadian team
is going to fair Yeah, you know, especially with their stars,
which can make it interesting. And it's one of the
few things in the Olympics, which I know. Our executive
producer Ryan Berschinger has pointed out, we're going to get
to it about fifteen minutes or so, but the Olympics
are a week away. Yeah, you know, like so do
people have a buzz about that? But we'll talk about

(26:17):
that in about fifteen minutes or so.

Speaker 7 (26:19):

Speaker 3 (26:31):
And then you also have former great right tackle Willie
Anderson of the Bengals. He said that the blind side
has created an unfair bias against right tackles and is
perhaps part of the reason he is not in the
Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
That is, that's an interesting take. And I will tell
you something. I did a show a couple of years
ago at TJ. Huschmanzada, who obviously you hear on up
on game here on Saturdays on Fox Sports Radio, and
it was around Hall of Fame time, and he spent
five minutes on the case of Willie Anderson of being oh,
he should be in the Hall of Fame. I actually

(27:09):
can't say I disagree, because that's all we think about
is left tackle protecting the quarterback. You gotta get your
left tackle. You gotta get your left tackle. Yeah, there's
something to that.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
I don't know if it's just because of the movie,
but the blind Side is a big deal and we
know about that. But I want to know one thing
real quick, Dan. Who's in the top spot of the
open championship right now? Daniel Brown? I got your nick.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
I was absolutely thank you very much. Nickd said the
same thing over and over and I was just spaced out,
and I'm like, oh, Daniel Brown took the lead things
like yeah, he didn't not want to, though I've been
telling you for the last hour and a half, which,
by the way, is my life is. I'm also at

(27:53):
the news desk a lot here at Fox Sports Radio.
I understand exactly where he's coming from. All Right, the
All Star break is here for the WNBA. Caitlin Clark's
last game last night, a loss to the Dallas Wings,
but a game where she had nineteen assists. It's the
clear favorite to win Rookie of the Year according to
the odds. No matter what Angel Reese's fan base will

(28:16):
try to tell you. Vegas is telling you right now
the clear favorite, just like Asia Reese is even more
so a favorite to win the league's MVP Award for
the Las Vegas Aces. Bronnie James has twelve points in
a Summer League game last night for the Lakers and
one where Dalton connect doesn't play. What is more important

(28:37):
to which stat is more important to which player from
last night's game to carry on for the rest of
this summer? And then I guess after that, if it
would be Bronnie James's, are you.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
Was Kitlin Clark having nineteen assists a bigger deal?

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Or does the twelve points that Bronnie scored Is that
going to help him become maybe more acclimated to the NBA?
Did that show that maybe Brownie belongs to a little
bit more than we thought he did?

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Absolutely not, It doesn't show that at all. But I'm
gonna say two things on this topic. The one that
stood out the most is Caitlyn Clark's nineteen assists. I
mean it's not even close. I mean, she's playing really
really good basketball down the stretch here, heading into the
All Star break and starting to show you know who
she was predicted to be in this league, and I'm

(29:24):
excited to see where she goes from this point on.
So I think from the outset, yes, the nineteen assists
from Kaitlyn Clark actually holds more weight for me. For Bronnie,
I'm just actually happy he did something, you know what
I mean. It's one of those things where he's been
taking such a hit. And we've talked about this before.
He's taking a hit because not because he's a fifty

(29:45):
fifth pick in this draft and he's trying to make
a team and you know he's gonna have some struggles.
That's part of it. He's getting hit because of his dad,
and so the vitriol that he's getting online everything he does,
if he drops the ball falls, it's the headline on
the top thing of your Twitter feed, your ex feed,
and this is like, give the man a break, man.

(30:06):
So I'm excited he did something positive in this game.
Isn't that?

Speaker 4 (30:09):
The problem though with it was that this was no
matter what was gonna happen, there was gonna be some
there was gonna be damage to Bronny. Like even if
if Bronni doesn't make it, Lebron's gonna take a lot
of heat for it, but there's Bronni still the person
of it. So, like I get what you're saying, like
it was it was good that something happened positive just

(30:30):
for Bronni. Yes, But that's the whole point of the
whole problem is that we don't think that Bronni was
really taken into consideration in all of this, right right,
you know where it's where that's gonna be. He's gonna
get the unintended consequences, if you will, because it sure
seems like a ploy. And that's that's the point where
I look at it, like this is so you have

(30:52):
these summer league games that he you know, played in
the Bay Area, now in Las Vegas and now has
twelve points, and it's a we're not overreact. I don't
think anybody is overreacting to it. But the question really
does become of not what's going to happen with Bronni
now and what's going to happen the next year, it's
what's going to happen three or four years from now.

(31:12):
And would he have had a legitimate basketball career if
he said stayed in college for three years, yes, then
maybe took this route in the NBA may maybe Lebron
feels that the way that college is going right now,
that the option is better to do this in the NBA,
and that he was able to afford his son the
ability to do that through this contract. And maybe that's

(31:35):
the case, but I think ultimately that's what's going to
come down to, is the real the real story of
Bronni James isn't going to happen this year. The real
story is going to be what happens in four or
five years if his basketball career is already coming gone.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
And that's literally what I was saying before the summer
Summer League mistarted. He shouldn't even be planning this. He
has nothing, nothing to gain, and even if he played well,
people would just be like, it's the summer league. So
it just didn't matter. And they should have taken more
more of that into consideration and probably saved him from
all this stuff, which he's some warned, some you know,

(32:09):
some warranted it, but others. It shouldn't be his It
shouldn't be the stuff that he's taking on right now.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
Do you think if he gets into an NBA game
he will like they will. I don't know if there's
a way to protect him like in a way, or
to hide him. How do you think that plays out?
I mean, like you try to think of it, like
just put him in the corner and then just so
he and Lebron are on the court at the same time.
Do you run something for him? Like do you actually

(32:35):
run a play for him if he's in the game.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
No, keep him out the way, like he said, he logged,
he logged two minutes and he got some some cardio in. Yeah. Yeah,
don't put him in the fray now. Yeah, I think
I think I'm with you. Maybe next year, Yeah, maybe
next year, not this year. He's Carrier Roads. I'm Dan byer. Hey.

We've gotten Nick Cope, Ryan Berschinger and Iowa Sam or Company.
A live from the Tirack dot Com studios, the Fox
Sports Radio tire Rack dot Com studios here on a Thursday,

(34:17):
Open Championship wrapped up for the day. This is one
of the great things. Is so for us here on
the West coast, it's almost ten to four East coast
obviously almost ten to seven getting to be nighttime, but
at about ten thirty tonight, so seven hours from now,
the second round of the Open Championship will be ginning underway.
So it's still like part of my day. It's weird

(34:38):
on how these rounds end up blending into each other,
but that's what happens when you have events that take
place in Europe and in a golf event that you
need all day long. The great thing about the Open Championship,
and this will lead me to my next point, is
the Open Championship because of where it's played, you have
enough daylight where you don't need to split the field

(35:00):
of one hundred and fifty or so players into a
morning wave and an afternoon wave. Everybody starts on the
first hole and everybody ends on eighteen, but you're starting
at like six thirty in the morning to do this
to get everybody through, and you have a few more
hours of daylight at the end of the day. So
it's a lot a lot of golf that you have
for the Open Championship. But it also means that there's

(35:20):
a quick turnaround. A week from tomorrow will be the
start of the Olympic Games in Paris, opening ceremony taking place,
and we will have two weeks of the Olympics. But
a week out. Are you excited for the Olympic Games
in Paris? Do you have the Olympic buzz? Harry Rhodes?

Speaker 5 (35:39):
I a bit, but not really. I'm more intrigued and
fascinated by something that I found out recently about the
Olympic theme song. Do you guys know who orchestrated that?

Speaker 4 (35:55):
I don't don't Was it Ed Asner and Bob Newhart?

Speaker 5 (36:00):
That's from earlier today. This is a joke. But let's
see if Ryan or Sam knows the answer to that?
Is it John Williams? There you go, right, Roy? No,
there you go? He was the great John Williams.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
Though I was excited about, right, this is where you
play dumb, so Perry can be like, hey, it's John
Williams exactly, just like how much did this shirt cost?
It was so cheap and then you have to do
it cheap? Yeah, then you ruin the game. That's all
I was doing. John Williams. Even you mean the dun Okay, no,
we can't that's all we can say because we don't

(36:31):
want to pay for any of it.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
But good work. Did you know that Sam as well?

Speaker 1 (36:35):
I did not know he composed that. I mean he's
done like every great score, everything, every everything that's ever made. Yeah,
that's that's now we'll use that at parties.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
But it is great. It is a great theme song.
I was used to be much more excited about the Olympics.
I actually like the Winter Olympics more than the Summer Olympics.
I feel like I'm in the super minority with it.
But this was actually a topic that was brought up
actually with you two weeks ago. I was Sam's with
me on the winter Yeah, I'm big on the biathlon
are yeah? Yeah, yeah, a cross country skiing and then

(37:06):
shooting a gun.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Yeah, those are fun.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
There is something to though, seeing sports that you don't
always get to see. Not that track and field dominates
our TV and swimming does, but I feel like you
don't turn out and see the luge, you know, you
don't turn out and see Bob slide. You don't see
downhill skiing as much. But for the Winter Olympics. That's obviously.

(37:29):
Curling has obviously taking on a life of its own.
But the only Bob Slaton that I saw was cool running.
So yeah, I'm I'm in the minority based on Yeah,
the Winter Olympics, So I'm good with that. Yeah, Birst,
you thought of this a couple of weeks ago and
being like you're not really there yet with the Summer Olympics.
Are you there now that we're like a week out
of these games? Yeah, I would say so. I really

(37:51):
enjoy the Olympics for two reasons that you've kind of mentioned. One,
because you get to watch stuff that you never get
to watch. I played volleyball throughout high school. I really
like watching both beach and indoor volleyball through the Olympics.
Handball is a ton of fun to watch in the
Olympics because that's it's it's just a wild sports, like
just soccer, but just hands It's great. And the other reason,

(38:13):
as you mentioned with the open where it will come
on late at night, I really get a kick out
of watching like live sports at weird times, like if
I'm about to go to bed and it's like twelve
thirty and I can turn it on and know that
I'm watching a live sport with some sort of significance.
I I really enjoy that, and you also have a
rooting interest and you don't need to know who the

(38:35):
athletes are. You can root for your country. It's the
right time. I also felt like the way that like
NBC would do it is their nighttime programming is more
of a TV show where everything else is competition. Not
that it isn't, but it's it's frameworker. It's like, now
we're gonna go out to the you know, to the back,
out to the pool with Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gains,
Like it's it's such a it's such a TV show

(38:57):
feel at night. That's how they presented. Rest of the
way is more of just pure competition, and if you
want to watch the quarterfinals in handball, you can do that.
It's just done a different channel. Yeah, but they'll be
here in a week or so, and we will be
wrapped up in Olympic fever. If we're not wrapped up
in NFL training camps, which will also dominate the conversation.

(39:18):
You can catch Carrie and I again Sundays here on
Fox Sports Radio. This is fun. We'll do it again
this Sunday noon eastern nine Pacific. Four Carry Roads I'm
Dan Byer. It's been Coveno and Rich here on Fox
