a good morning, happy June. Yes, we are in the

(01:01):
month of June, and if you listen to the show
every week, you know that it's always football season for us.
So June the third means is we flip the calendar,
that we are one month out. The next time we
flip the calendar will be the beginning now that you're
gonna get to late July will be the beginning, yes,

(01:26):
of football training camp. And in soon it'll be August,
and you're gonna kill me because I'm already wishing the
summer away, and I wish it away for football. You know.
It's funny. So I have two boys. I have a
thirteen year old and a ten year old. And my

(01:48):
thirty year old's been playing football for the last three years,
so he's been into it. My ten year old this
will be his first, his first season plan and uh,
Anthony's thirty year old. MONSI was a ten year old
and I got the note last night that camp the

(02:09):
OTAs are Monday Tuesday. And I think, because I'm an idiot,
I think I was more excited. All right, I call
them both downstairs because somehow there was a there was
there's a camp, you know, came out of nowhere. And then,

(02:31):
uh yo, guys, we got camp Monday Tuesday. And they
were like what because my little one is a baseball player, right,
so he's in the middle of the baseball season. But
he's like, we got I got, we got Camp Ota
our first you know, kind of meet the guys and everything,
and I help out on one of the teams and

(02:53):
it's a lot of fun, like you know, so the
OTA thing, I was cracking up, like, look just like
the Eagles because I'm to Philadelphia and we just went,
you know, we had they just had their OTAs and
rookies come in and in fact, Jalen Carter broke a sled.

(03:13):
He broke the tackle of the sled, which was beast like.
So it's gonna be fun. We're gonna get We're gonna
get into some football tonight.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
And I want to get into some youth sports too,
all right, because sometimes it's it's amazing when parents don't
know about youth sports. And I mean myself, I mean, obviously,
I've been in sports for thirty years. I was a
sports writer in New York and Chicago and then in Philadelphia,
and then I've been doing TV radio. The whole thing,

(03:46):
and the whole youth sports thing is just insane. It's
insane all the stuff. And I'm not talking about you know,
dumb stuff where parents are acting crazy. It's just nat
gaming it through trainers and you know, coaches. And it's
so different than when I was growing up, when you know,

(04:10):
it was simple, right, like you play for your school teams.
You played every sport, right, you know, you played baseball,
and then you were you know, you went in the football, basketball,
You know, some kids played hockey. Some other kids played soccer,
but that was it. And you played for your school team,
your town teams, and there was no AAU and it

(04:33):
was it was, you know, no travel ball. We had
our little bit of that, but not like not like
it is now, like the travel balls is wild. And
then there was no four to dollar bats, like we
had communal bats that you shared. And listen, I'm not
talking about Stowe ages either. It's not that long ago,

(04:53):
but the explosion has been just wild. And in basketball,
I was having this conversation the AAU thing has changed
the game completely, and then you wonder did it change
the mindset about wanting to win? And I look at

(05:20):
teams like the Celtics and just how weird that when
they lost, how bizarre that whole series was, Like, seriously,
there's no way in the world that Miami should be here.
Now they do it because they're just incredibly well coached.
You got a couple, you got some heart players, obviously,

(05:42):
Jimmy Butler is a heart player, but they have no
business being here. Now. You look at that Denver team
and we'll have Game two tomorrow night, and I'm you know,
I think it's Denver year and they should be here,
and it's a beautiful it's a great story. I mean,

(06:03):
they they play the game. It just so fluid together.
And you see how the rotation they've completely completely changed
the rotation where it's shortened, right, he's rolling seven guys max, right,

(06:27):
and it's everybody's got their role. And I guess it
starts and it well, I guess it starts with an
amazing player in Jokic. So I come from Philadelphia and
it's the land of embiid and those two have become,
you know, great rivals, certainly with the MVP, but it's

(06:51):
not even close right now. I mean when you look
at what Joki has done and it's it's tremendous. He
takes five shots, five shots in the first half and
impacts the game that way. That's unbelievable. Ten dimes, just

(07:14):
the incredible stuff. That's unreal what he's done the Joker
as I mean, that game won performance and listen, he
does it all the time, but that game one performance.
It just illustrated them as a team and adjust to
him out incredibly potent. That team is when you watch

(07:38):
and you look at Merry and they're all and they're
efficient with their shots. Porter played, I thought of the
hell of a game. He was, Yeah, rebounds siss played
with him himself. I got it. I was so impressed

(07:58):
by that. And look, Miami is plucky and they got
they I mean again, you know what they've done, and
with Butler's done, it's just a shame because I and
it's a great testimony to them. But I don't see
I don't see this thing lasting. I can't imagine I

(08:22):
can't imagine this whole thing, the series going beyond six.
Now ave, oh, we shocked the world. They figure out
a way. But Boston is a team that's that's just
inherently flawed. And I just don't think this Nuggets team
is right. I just don't say it. They play their roles.

(08:44):
I mean you look at it. You got Yo Kicch.
Everything moves through him. You'll have your score in merry.
Then you have Porter. Well, we'll give you three. Look
the scary thing for Miami is he didn't even shoot well. Porter.
He shot two for eleven from three. They gave you

(09:06):
thirteen boards, but he shot two for eleven from three.
Gordon was active like he always is, especially early, shot
the ball well and then you got KCP, who is
just a good role player. Bruce Brown is a terrific
role player, knows his place, He'll help run the offense.

(09:29):
And then Jeff Green and that's what you got. Joker
plays forty minutes, May replaced forty four, Porter plays forty three.
And there is this great efficiency. So I don't think
there's going to be a long finals. And I applaud
Miami and I look at at Spolstra and I go, man,

(09:50):
what a job, what a job just to get here.
But this is like a I think the Crown and
the Nuggets is a is a fun story. And watching
the Jokis play it is kind of a throwback because

(10:10):
the way that that pass, it's it's it's interesting. I
watched him and now, obviously Bird was six ' eight,
so he wasn't a big, a true big like Jokis
is a true center. But the way they passed the
basketball and the shot, it's eerily similar. It's eerily similar.

(10:35):
How those just the way the game kind of the
ball movement and the deliberate style. I mean, Denver reminds
you of a team from the eighties, the way they play.
Fun team. So we're gonna tell it. We'll obviously talk
about THEA Finals. We're gonna talk about the NFL. We're
gonna talk some youth sports. We're gonna we're gonna open

(10:57):
up the phones and we'll have a good conversation that stuff.
And uh, I gotta talk about series finales in TV
because two of my favorite shows ended and I have
this pang of of of sadness. Ted Lasso and Succession

(11:20):
both end. Now I got into both. I love both
of them. In fact, Barry's and other show people watched
that ended as well, but Lasso was an amazing show,
and I didn't see a finale. I'm waiting till the
uh till tonight and save it for the weekend because
my wife and I will watch on the weekends, so

(11:41):
I'll watch it. I'll watch the finale tonight. But it's sad,
like when the series the TV show you love ends,
it's it's sad. So we're gonna talk about that and
kind of how the characters become almost ingrained in your life.
By man, the big e is with me. K Fig
is off. What's up, biggie?

Speaker 5 (12:05):
You know, happy to be here with you.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
K Fig.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
We're gonna mourn him tonight. Why because he's not here.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Well, I know, but he's all right, we're not gonna
mourn him. We're not going to mourn him as well.
You known't, you don't know. It's something I don't. Right,
he's good, that's fair.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
Yeah, he's fine, said yeah, right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Like mourn you know that.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
You would say more too if we mourn for four hours,
you know, a four hours more.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Listen, if I was laid up, I would I hope
you mourn me, but you would miss me. Right, he's worked.
Let's just say he's work.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Mourn Yeah, something like that. Mighty Mark's having a laugh.
You want to thought chappels on stage.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
It's just a choice of words. That's just the choice
of words. More Mighty Mark is our incredible uh sound engine? Ear?
I love it, Mighty Mark. You know that might be
the first time you cracked the mic in six months.

Speaker 7 (13:13):
I'm just trying to help out. But that word that,
that word choice was just amazing.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Right, you know, I'm thinking, oh my god, it's fiky
sick is right? I know he's not. I know he's fine,
so we can laugh. Yeah, no, all good. I was
just trying to get creative. I appreciate that, Biggie, I
love you. You know, we're gonna bust the balls. That's
freaking yeah, that's what it is. So did you would you?

(13:40):
Did you watch a Lasso?

Speaker 8 (13:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (13:43):
He did? What a show? Was that? A great show?

Speaker 9 (13:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Just good stuff. It's a feel good show.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
You know what's interesting about it is when it first
came on, I remember thinking, you know, it's a real
obviously very sacchering and you got the American football coach
and he's this kind of you know character that's you know, Midwest,
and he's got that Midwest thing. Weren't rolling And it

(14:14):
turned out to be the like, the just the sweetest
show ever, but just a good show, a feel good
like you said, it, a feel good show. He's such
a great character. The writing was amazing, the depth. It's
rare that you can actually make an audience feel good
without being you know, kind of trite about it. Yeah,

(14:37):
and yeah they did it, dude.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
It was a different type of comedy, you know, different
type of like humor wasn't like raunchy or dirty really,
you know, which was like kind of interesting because that's
kind of different than what we're usually expecting from like
an HBr Apple TV type of series, you know.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
But it was also good, like there was a goodness
about it. Yeah, it was just it was I think
I think everybody needs that. I think during this it's
a weird it's been a weird few years with COVID
and everything past. I think I think we needed as
a society, we needed a show that made us just
feel good, where we connected with one another. So anyway,

(15:23):
we'll get into it. All nuggets, brother, Nuggets are strong, dude.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
Yeah, I don't think. I think it's four games.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
You think sweep. Yeah, I don't want to be surprised.
I would not be surprised. Well, we'll talk all about it.
We got lots to do. Where the fella is. How
do you feel money? Mark doing?

Speaker 6 (15:46):
All right? I will mourn my happiness.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
I like it all right. We will come back, lots
to do. The fella is right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Welcome back, fellas from the tire Rack dot Com Studios.

(16:14):
I don't know a Mark chime in here. I I
can't wait for football people laughing. I was doing it
this week and U Look, the NBA has been interesting
and there's been incredible coaching hires and h I mean
Marty Williams contract, I still go, Wow, my god. So

(16:38):
Vocal goes to the Suns and it's a contract that
kind of makes sense, right, Like that's a contract that
makes sense. Nick Nurse comes goes to the six Ers,
a good contract and I think it was a good hire.
And Monty God bless him. I mean he got all
the money, he got all the body in Detroit. It
was just wild. But he got the NBA winding down

(17:01):
and then you know, I listen, I'm a baseball fan.
I love baseball, but baseball is more of a companion. See,
baseball's with you. It's just it's with you through the summer, right,
so you know, you put the ball game on. It's
good background, but there's no butterflies because the butterflies coming

(17:22):
in the fall, right, the butterflies come in the playoffs.
That's when baseball just you know, starts to it's it's
not even a game that resembles it in the summer,
when you're playing every day and you're going city to city,
it's it's hard to you're not going to capture that

(17:45):
everything on the line feeling that you have. When the
playoffs start, it's it's truly an incredible sport. When the
playoffs begin, the sports just heightens up. I guess it's
a lot like in the NBA in that sense where
you know, you see the noticeable difference in the playoffs

(18:07):
because the game slows down all of a sudden. It's
either possession by possession or you know, pitch by pitch
when it comes to baseball. So that's why we're just
enamored by football, right like you know, because it's every
week of high tension, and I feel like you, it's funny.

(18:35):
I feel like you go through the summer and you know,
sports gets put on the shelf. It's why I'm telling you.
I thought the NBA missed a big chance, and for
some reason they did not like it. When COVID came
and they pushed their finals to August. I thought, man,
you can have two months over the summer where you

(18:58):
own the playoffs, you own the whole sports landscape, and
I guess you could make the argument that they do
in the spring, but nothing's going on like you. I
just thought it was a great fit because, let's face it,
the early part of the NBA season, you're starting in October,
Nobody cares about the NBA in October because everybodys watching football.

(19:20):
So usually right around Christmas first of the year, people
start to pay attentions a little bit to basketball, and
then certainly in the February. So why not keep the
season the way it was where you started in in
you know, Christmas Day, and you run it through right

(19:44):
to the to the end of the summer, right to
Labor Day. So you have the NBA crowning its champion
and then football starts. Didn't that. I don't understand why
they didn't like it. I thought, you know, and again
I guess there was through ratings and all. But I
don't know how you it was a bubble season. It

(20:05):
was apples and oranges. I still think you own that
portion of the whole summer, and basketball was always a
summer game anyway.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
It probably has to do with a lot like politics
with the TV dealers and like like all that kind
of stuff, you know, I mean, because I would think
they would like that kind of situation.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Yeah, and look, I think I think certainly the ratings dictated.
Obviously their broadcast partners told them, hey, look, you know,
go back to the original schedule. But I just there's
something that fell off about it because I keep thinking
it's the only game going on. And I know people

(20:49):
travel and but nowadays you're everywhere you go through seventeen
TVs and screens, and you got screens with you, and
you could be traveling and going there and you're still
gonna watch the playoffs re memb where you where you're at,
you're an NBA fan, You're gonna watch the games, right
or wrong. That's true. That's true. That's why I was

(21:13):
a little, you know, a little take it back. I
love that calendar, but you understand what I'm talking about
with football.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
Yeah, you know, Mighty Mark and I were actually kind
of laughing.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
We think it's a little early.

Speaker 7 (21:27):
I think it's that early.

Speaker 6 (21:28):
I just think you're laughing at me, Mark, No, no, no, No,
Here's what I'm thinking. I think, you know, the fans
think about football a certain way. They think about you know,
the line and then you know, first off the ball.
Then they watched the play in there as you know,
there's that. But maybe the executives just don't think about
the game the same way the fans do. They just

(21:51):
think it appears they think money versus the fans thinking
about their team going up against another team.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
All right, well, do me a favorite. I want you
to elaborate on that. Just sit tight for one second.
I want to get Kevin up here with the with trending,
and then I want you to expound on a little bit. keV.
What do you got, buddy?

Speaker 10 (22:15):
Well, we had a busy day of action on the
diamond both baseball and softball. Some weight scores from the
West Coast. That big series everyone was anticipating coming into
this weekend was the one between the Dodgers and the Yankees,
and it's Los Angeles getting the first of the three
games set over New.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
York ark dit Sevarino in the first inning six runs.

Speaker 10 (22:34):
La was able to get in that first inning without
looking back. Clayton Kershaw, believe it or not, didn't have
a single win against the Yankees in his career until tonight.
He had seven innings and had nine strikeouts for the game.
As La beats the Yankees eight to four, Orioles beat
the Giants three two in San Francisco, Cubs over the

(22:54):
Padres two to one, Diamondbacks beat the Braves three to two,
White Sox shut out the Tigers three nothing. Rockies beat
the Royal seven to two, twins blank. The Guardians won nothing,
Astros take down the angel six to two, Rangers over
the Mariners to nothing, Mets over the Blue Jay were
Mets fall to the Blue Jays three nothing. Pirates beat
the Cardinals seven to five. Nationals upset the Phillies eight

(23:14):
to seven, Marlin shutting out the Athletics for nothing. The
Brewers beat the Reds five to four. In the College
were the Women's College World Series elimination Day, Stanford taking
out the Crimson Tide Alabama Crimson tied to nothing, sending
them home, and Utah losing twice first to Washington for
to one. Then they got shut out by Oklahoma State

(23:36):
eight nothing to end their season. As for the NBA report,
multiple reports saying Frank Volgel finalizing a five year, thirty
one million dollar contract to become the new head coach
of the Phoenix Suns. College Sports Big twelve commissioner Brett
Yomark saying the conference will pursue more expansion if the

(23:58):
opportunity arises. However, he say as they do love their
current composition in the NFL. The Chicago Bears announcing Arlington Heights,
so there's a lot of hype behind that buying that
racetrack for a new stadium, but it is no longer
their singular focus after tax issues arose, the city of
Naperville now launching its own bid to lure the Bears.

(24:21):
French Open as top seed at Carlos Alcoraz advances to
the round of sixteen in straight sets. Raphael Nadal not
playing because he has a hip injury and he had
arthroscopic surgery on Friday to repair that. He will not
of course play at all in the French Open and
in the Memorial. It's just ensued with a one stroke
lead over Hitdeki Matsuyama.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Back of you, oh, keV, Thanks buddy. Yeah, I got
to ask you real quick before we get to your
back to your football point mark. You're from Chicago. The
Bears can't leave downtown, they can't leave the Loop, the
Soldier Field, is it? That's the perfect spot. I can't

(25:02):
imagine the Bears in the suburbs. That's just the one
feel right.

Speaker 6 (25:08):
Well, because of certain current things going on in the
city and other may be political things that are going on,
I think certain choices are being made about where to
play the game, and so you have I'm guessing you
have certain you know, Naperville and Arlington saying well, we'll

(25:30):
build something for you. You can come out here, and that might,
you know, pacify some of those current events in downtown chicag.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
I know you know that that there's been a lot
of struggles in downtown in Chicago, A.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
Lot of stuff going on downtown on Michigan Avenue, things
being broken stores leaving all those crazy events making that
part of the city not the.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
South Loop is that the that and listen, you're from there,
so that's your area lake. Yeah, that's south Loop, which
is for people that don't know Chicago, it's the southerly.
You have the north side you'll know it from Wrigley Field,
and the south side is the is the socks. So

(26:18):
when you get close to the lake is where there
downtown is and the river separates.

Speaker 7 (26:24):
You can see that, you know.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, and then the river separates really the North Loop
and the South Loop which is been the loop is
there is downtown but is it been?

Speaker 11 (26:35):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (26:35):
And I loved it there, I tell you, I lived.
I lived there for like I guess three or four years.
I loved it was there. Some is the issues too
in right there in downtown issues.

Speaker 7 (26:49):
Certain issues downtown well, but so much so that it makes.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Contributing really so so much that it would it would
the bears to the suburbs.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
Uh, it seems like it that might be a contributing
factor to everything that they think about a different location,
you know, just so they don't have to fight about
Soldier Field anymore and about the land and all the
things that go into it. So they just want to
maybe find a new place to play and not have
certain issues bother the fans as they're trying to get

(27:27):
to the game or leave the game.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah. Yeah, Wow, that's the sad contributing factor. Like that's sad,
Marcaming very sad.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
It's great downtown. Everybody loves it. Everybody who's been there
knows what it's like. And they know they go by
the Buckingham Fountain, they see that because they're married with children.
They just look at the water, they look at the bean,
they look at the various things on Michigan Avenue. And
so that is to go out to either Arlington or
to Naperville, that's you know, it's a suburb way outside

(27:59):
the city, not that far, but it's way outside the city.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yeah, I used to do some work for the when
I was there. I was a young reporter sports writer
and there was a there was a newspaper called the
Daily Herald, and I used to do some work for them,
and it was, uh yeah, I mean, it's it's more
near the airport, correct the Arlington Heights. Man, I can't believe.

(28:25):
I think that's just nuts to me that the Bears
like those columns and that his stuff like, because I
think of football. To me, it's like bigger than life,
Like all these stadiums, whether it's arrow Head right or
Cowboys Stay. Like you look at all these stadiums, they
just have a you know, bigger than life field to them,

(28:48):
shoulder Soldier Field with the with the columns.

Speaker 6 (28:52):
Some of the construction that they did to Soldier Feel
kind of changed its status because they added parts to it.
But it's still a great place. Because some of that
new construction changed its status. That was a little argument
a couple of years ago. But you know, that was
another issue about what the stadium is and how its
status has changed.

Speaker 7 (29:13):
But it was it's a.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
Great place and it's right there downtown and sort of
easy to get to, and you know, it's great it's
all downtown and it's it's a great place.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah, I I just like I loved it, man, I
gotta tell you I loved it. I loved Chicago. Chicago
is uh has got such a such a great vibe
to it. Hey a, you brought the you brought everybody
Chicago Deep Dish. Huh.

Speaker 5 (29:39):
Yeah, it actually went down a couple of days ago.
I gotta give you that name. It was really good.
There's nothing better than Chicago deep Dish. That was it
hit different.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
I'm proud of you brought everybody pie. You sent me
the picture. Look we got the deep Dish. You know
what's funny about that pizza. The pizza it's from me.
It's a once a year Like I couldn't eat that
on the rag. I couldn't eat that pizza on the wreck.
I need the reg I need a normal, thin, crossed

(30:11):
type of pizza. But that for once a year, it's great. Yeah, it'll, it'll.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
I can only do yeah, not once a year, maybe
like once every three months.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Oh so you're a quarterly man, not even mark, You're
you're from there. You gotta admit that's a it's a
good it's good for a treat. Every once in a while.

Speaker 6 (30:36):
Yeah, you can't do that all the time. That just
being able to get up and walk, that might be
challenged exactly.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Ah Fellas, Welcome back from the tai iraq dot com studios. Hey, Mark,
you mentioned something about and I just wanted you to
clarify it about the executives and what was your point

(34:34):
about the executives of the NFL.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
I think maybe the executives think about numbers and how
it can be packaged to make an impact on viewership
and bring people's eyes to the TV screen and all
those I would say business categories that they think about

(34:58):
what it's going to look like and how it's gonna
work out money wise, where the people's excitement, the fans
excitement are more about the teams and rivalries and how
their team is doing. And like we talked about before,
like you guys talked about before, when there's a draft
and the hope that comes with the draft and this

(35:22):
is gonna be the year that our team wins.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
It's that hope that the fans think about.

Speaker 6 (35:27):
Executives think about the construction of it and the money parts,
but the fans think about the hope and they're gonna
win this year and their team we're gonna win, so
they can walk around and say we won.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Yeah. You know, it's interesting because the and I guess
I look at it through I look at it through
the prism of certainly the fan that because it can
it captures our imagination. It's just true. I just talk
about it, you guys remocking me, and I get it
because it's early, it's we just flipped the calendar to June.

(36:06):
But as a sports head, there's there's there's nothing between
June and the start of football season.

Speaker 6 (36:14):
But I understand your excitement because you're a broadcaster, but
you're a fan.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
You just love the sport unabashedly. I love particularly and
then there's the I look at it more. I'm a
fan of the sport. Were all listen, we also have it. Well,
we're all we all have fans of our team or whatever.
When you grow up, you're a fan of your team.
But I love the sport like you're supposed to love
the sport one right, it's like God family for family,

(36:45):
God family, country or whatever. You know, it's like that,
like you love the sport and then you got your
team and then you got your player, right, Like that's
kind of how it is. But you know, I was
just telling you beforehand to bring it back to the
U sports thing that here is we got camp OTAs

(37:05):
Monday and Tuesday for my kids, and I'm like, I
can't wait for that now. Part of it is, you know,
I wish I was going to Eagles Ota right now
and working them out right, coaching them, and but it's
the sport that shows you the sports around the corner.

(37:26):
You just got to get through the summer. See, most
people look at the summer as it's it's the greatest respite.
I look at it as you got to get through
it to get the football. Fleep of barbecue, Who cares
about what? The most overrating thing in the world is
a barbecue. Barbecue with the game, right the tailgate is heavenly.

(37:52):
The barbecue no sport. I mean it's a cookout. All right,
what else you got there's no game with it. Let's
go to Chuck and Cali. Chucky. What's happening, Buddy, Good morning,
Good morning.

Speaker 11 (38:08):
How you doing.

Speaker 13 (38:11):
Man?

Speaker 11 (38:12):
I just I love it.

Speaker 14 (38:13):
I love the conversation. You know, I have I have
two boys that play club soccer. So we're on that
travel search and that I can tell you that.

Speaker 11 (38:23):
It's intense. Man.

Speaker 14 (38:25):
These kids are un There's so much pressure to perform. Yeah,
and uh, you know, tournament after tournament and they you know,
I just it's just different than when we grew up.
And you know, there's so much money now in youth sports,
and uh, everyone's getting personal training. I mean, kids are
getting specialized it's just a different day. It's a different day.

Speaker 9 (38:46):
It is.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
You know what you can imagine. I mean, I can
only imagine the money that you're spending training, travel, you know,
Like we we just did it. Like we're a family
of four and so we go to we we had
a tournament that was out of the area, and you
staying in a hotel and you gotta go eat and
you're fair for the weekend. I mean, it's a real

(39:09):
expensive that doesn't include equipment and everything else.

Speaker 15 (39:12):
Chuck, Absolutely.

Speaker 14 (39:14):
I mean, we're a family of six, and the staying
players are the best. The boys get the bond in
the pool, and the families gonna spend time together. I mean,
but that's what it's all about. And and the thing
is is that these these kids are learning how to
compete at a really young age. I think it's good.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
I think it's good. And you bring up a great point.
You're right, you bring up a great point too, of
the bonding that happens with your family. Like b I
love being in the car with them on the way
to a game or on the way back from a game,
because it's just you know, it's just us, the whole
families together and you're talking about it, and it's a

(39:55):
it's an unbelievable bonding experience.

Speaker 14 (39:59):
Absolutely absolutely, And the one thing I would urge parents to.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Do is uh yeah, listen, I'm up against it. You're awesome, dude.
All right, good luck to the boys, come back Fellas
on Fox. Well, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning.

(40:48):

Tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be
in case you just joining us here this morning. A
couple of things on the dot and obviously get the
NBA Finals and we're talking about the Nuggets. I will
tell you that that fan base deserves to win. That's

(41:13):
a great fan base. The Denver fan base is a
great fan base and they deserve to win, you know.
I mean they've been through it, right, Nuggets, you never
win a title. ABA team from way way back in
the day, never win a title all those years being

(41:34):
in the shadows of the Lakers, really the shadows of
Golden State, all the West powerhouses, and they're on the
precipice right now. If there's ever a vampire team, it's
Miami because they're so well coached. But I don't see it.

(41:56):
I think it's just the Nugs time, and that's a
great sports It's a great sports town. I mean, they
had to deal with the whole Broncos and then you
finally win with l Way and then you know the
way it all comes in. It's just it's one of
those great towns across America, great great sports town. And

(42:22):
so I'm like, I'm happy that Denver. And I think
it's funny because coming from Philadelphia and the Embiied Jokic
MVP rivalry, you know, part of me was like the
rival of Jokic. He deserves every accolade he gets. The

(42:43):
way he played the other night, the way he impact
that game. What player takes five shots and has that
kind of impact on a finals game? In the first half.
Five shots. He took five shots in the first half.
It's unbelievable. The way he passes, rebounds, the way that

(43:04):
offense flows and it flows through him. He is just
a tremendous player, just a tremendous player. And it's great
that the the whole you know, world's they can get
a chance to see him. But that Denver, that Denver town, Uh,
that's Denver sports scene. I'm so happy for him. I

(43:27):
think that's one ethan that like they deserve. I look
at certain fan bases and I go, well, that's a
worthy fan base.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
Yeah, I agree with that, especially with the mellow error
of them not winning a CHAMPIONSHIPLD be a good point
with that. It's definitely like they're due, you know, they
they need one.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
They've been due. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've been due. No, dude,
you're right on listen this and and I think that
fan base, if you look at the whole sports it's
a great sports town.

Speaker 5 (44:03):
Yeah, give them credit. It's a loud stadium, don't get
enough credit.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
I agree. I agree that, and that's a fan base
that deserves it. Now some of the newer you know,
I look in hockey and you look at the Panthers,
and I go, you know, is that a deserved fan base?
Now Vegas a deserved fan base? Even Miami for the Heat,

(44:36):
is that a deserved fan base? Forget about hockey but
they leave early?

Speaker 5 (44:42):
Yeah, go ahead, I'm itching here, I Panthers, forget them,
a bunch of bandwagons over there in Florida, acting like
they care about their hockey team.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
So I'm saying, and I'm glad they I'm I'm for
the sports sake. I'm glad it became the thing. But no,
your point is right.

Speaker 5 (45:02):
I will tell you this, the Miami Heat, they deserve it.
They're a real franchise. That's a serious franchise, especially with
pat Riley what he's done there and the d Wade
Lebron error. And they've only been around for twenty five years.
Think about it. Yeah, yeah, I gotta tell you. I

(45:26):
I you know, it's funny the way I see it.
I if it's a new fan base, but the fan
base is rabbit. I'm more apt to give it to
But now I do stew to me, you gotta love
it like the fit.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
What I call it sports justice, So dev to me
sports justice that they win, right, like there's certain fan
bases that deserve to win. Like I look at Cleveland
and I go, that's a fan base that needs to win. No,

(46:08):
I don't know how Deshan Watson. I gotta believe he's
gonna play better. I they deserve, like those people deserve
to win.

Speaker 5 (46:20):
What about Vegas? No, you don't think so? No, what's
your reasoning?

Speaker 3 (46:28):
It's too new?

Speaker 5 (46:31):
But it looks it looks happening, you know, it looks
like these fans care.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
That looks fake to me. Now, no doubt they are
into it and they care, But do they really have
they bled? Like to me, you need to bleed to
no true bliss.

Speaker 5 (46:56):
No, I think you're right because I think in Vegas especially.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
They may do they honest, yeah, I think they may
just have money on the game.

Speaker 5 (47:05):
That's where their their love is, you know, for the
for the gambling, and they act like it's on the hockey, you.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Know, Like I think it became a thing, right, I
think it just became a thing. And I mean give
them credit in that it's a whole production, but that's
not a bleed that's not a bleed town. Now you
know who did deserve it? Though?

Speaker 5 (47:28):
And I'm a little disappointed. We're gonna play this game
the New Jersey Devils.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
They deserve.

Speaker 5 (47:36):
What a championship? Who the Devils?

Speaker 3 (47:41):
They're fan base is in?

Speaker 5 (47:46):
That was hysterical, all right? No, think about this way.
They just you know, they've just been through it.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
Crazy, dude, what fan base is the Devils? You know?
I just feel bad. You know who you feel bad for?

Speaker 5 (48:03):
I just feel like they need some success.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
What do you feel bad for?

Speaker 5 (48:09):
You don't like you know, they got this young kids
us right?

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Think about the players. So you told me about the
fan I'm talking about from a fan perspective. Yeah, you
know what, that's a good point.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
I don't really feel bad for the fans.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
I just feel bad for the Well, I couldn't tell
you three guys in Burger County.

Speaker 5 (48:29):
But then again, Josh Harris owns that team, so that
makes sense that they don't win.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
That was a low blow. Nah, he's a good owner.
He's a good owner. He is, He's a good owner.
I have nothing. I think he's a really good owner.
I actually think he's going to turn around Washington. Speaking
of which, now that's a place those people have been
through it. That's a town that is the commander fan base.

(48:55):
First of all, you he had to deal with that
owner for that long running your franchise, your historic franchise,
running it into the ground. Real fans, they deserve to
win like that. That's a that's a deserved fan base.

Speaker 5 (49:14):
They have a good fan base. Yes, I don't know
anything about their fan base.

Speaker 7 (49:19):
The former Hogs and other.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
Name, Yes, Hoggs. They were, they were a storied franchise.
I mean if you look at I know, we're all
over the place with every sport. If you just will
start in football, if you look at fan bases that

(49:42):
deserve to win. Now you tell me if I gave
you the top five fan bases, Cleveland's number one.

Speaker 7 (49:51):
Absolutely, the Browns need they need something.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
You got it. Detroit, Those people.

Speaker 7 (50:00):
Need they need something.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
Yes, I mean you're told me about have it one
pieces right when you look at these towns that are
that love it. Actually, you know who number one is?
Number two is Cleveland, number three Detroit, And you know
who number one is.

Speaker 7 (50:25):
I thought Detroit would have been number one or Cleveland No.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Two and three number one Buffalo.

Speaker 7 (50:36):
That's right, four times there and nothing.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
So you dealt like I love those people first of all,
They're the greatest fan base. That Bill's Mafia is amazing.
Anytime there's a charitable cause for like an opposition, whatever
it is, they're always there, always there, They're always there,

(51:02):
they donate money, they're just that. It's a great fan
base and they have been through Holy hell. Like when
you lose, think about test fallas you you lose what
they did in the eighties and nineties, and you go
four times to the super Bowl four times and lose.

(51:25):
Every time you lost on a chip shot field goal.
You want to talk about a heavy heart and losing,
you lost. Listen, I'm sure we have Buffalo fans out
there that can talk about it. Are you kidding me?

(51:46):
Scott Norwood? Does that name ring a Belle? Do you ever?
Have you ever heard of that name?

Speaker 7 (51:51):
Absolutely?

Speaker 3 (51:53):
Scott Norwood? And he missed that chip shot field goal,
So you have to deal with that. Just horrendous stretch
of being teeth.

Speaker 7 (52:06):
Is in Minnesota Vikings in that category.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Yes, Yes, my man's getting ready to leave for his game.
Go get a moss, Go get a moss. The guys
you're saying, Dad, can I just tell you right? He's

(52:28):
their uniforms. We were talking about youth sports and that's
another threat of ours, and they are incredib The uniforms
are ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (52:42):
The uniforms, they explained, like what do you mean they
just like it look like they're playing for the NB,
Like yes.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
I mean, they're beautiful, they're amazing. It's unbelievable. The uniforms

(53:11):
ten years old, right, so he looks adorable. He's all
ready to go. He uh, my wife got him the
eye black. That's the American flag color, so it matches.
His team is the uniform, so it's the EyeBlack of red,
white and blue, so it's it's it's pretty cool.

Speaker 7 (53:31):
And name on the back, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Oh my god, didn't these uniforms I had a T
shirt basically, you know what I mean, or or they
handed down these these musty uniforms. See if this size
fits you, that's what it was.

Speaker 7 (53:48):
Try this on.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
Yeah you remember, you know it was the musty school
uniforms that got passed down that was half featen by moths.
And I went to the Catholic school, so it was like,
you know, they had in a big closet these uniforms.
It's amazing. And then in baseball, forget about it. You know,

(54:13):
you had your own baseball pants and then they gave
me a jersey. Now they got belt socks, like everything
is just amazing. It's pretty old. It's actually pretty cool. Anyway,
I digress. We gotta get back to the deserved fan
base is the plight. So what we'll do is if

(54:36):
you're from a you think you're a deserved fan base,
you make your case. Eight seven seven nine nine on Fox.
That's eight seven seven nine nine on Fox is how
you reach us. I mean, I listen, I'm telling the

(54:57):
story about the Bills and you even go to modern day.
I mean that loss to the Walls of the Chiefs
alone is won. That's that's a torture. That's a torture
piece that you lose that game, Yo, guys, that's tough.

(55:18):
You felt like he won that game? What three different times?

Speaker 6 (55:22):
What's the running back that for gout is who couldn't
find his helmet when he was supposed to go back
into the game.

Speaker 7 (55:27):
Then the Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 (55:29):
You about Herman Thomas, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that that was amazing.

Speaker 7 (55:33):
That was just really bad like that year.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
Yeah, And I was just talking about most recently that
tough loss against Kansas City where it was just, oh

an Eagles fan, right, I was huge, you know, raised

(57:05):
in the shadow of Veterans Stateium and my boyhood team
which I love, never won a Super Bowl up until
twenty eighteen, and it was one of the greatest things
ever to experience. So having gone through it, I can relate,
and I think, you know, that's why I want to

(57:26):
get into this conversation of these incredible fan base that
really care. Like quite frankly, you're a Heat fan, you've
already had. You got Lebron. You stole Lebron from Cleveland,
all right, so you got to feel fortunate there, you war,
you got d Wade, you win, and I do love

(57:51):
the heart of that basketball team, like I think I'm
a big Riley fan and Spolstra. Well, let's face it, fan,
you leave early, you you go laid. It's come on,

Right, he needed to have mores if that's what he
needs to do.

Speaker 15 (01:00:39):
It's terrible. Man.

Speaker 14 (01:00:40):
We don't even look for.

Speaker 16 (01:00:43):

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
Yeah, they haven't put anything around LaMelo.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
Nah, bro, I listen, that's this is a great call.
Your spot on my heart goes out to my brother. Listen,
you have a great day. You enjoy yourself on this Saturday.
You're spot on, spot on right, because the Hornets are fascinating.
Because the Hornets, the Magic, the timber Wolves, and then

(01:01:35):
the Grizzlies, if you remember right, they all come in
at the same time that when Memphis was and they
were in Vancouver. So those four teams come in around
the same time in the nineties. And that was the
time of the starter jackets. And I was a geek,

(01:01:56):
you know, stone geek with the starter jacket. But the
big like the Charlotte Hornets was a popular star jacket.
You don't even notice he I don't know, but you know,
Mark was winning titles in Chicago. But the the starter
jacket was it and it was Grandmama, you know, like

(01:02:18):
Larry Johnson was.

Speaker 7 (01:02:19):
Was ridiculous Jo he was huge, that was a whole.

Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
He You know, what's funny, Zion, who will never I
don't know if will ever play, but Zion, I mean,
let Larry Johnson was a lot like Zion, explosive, you know,
he can wreck the rim. H just a great He
was an underrated ball player. Man, what a player. And

(01:02:45):
him and Alonzo Mourning and Dell Carry. He's so right
and now they just blow. They're just horrible, just a
terrible team. It's a shame they got, you know, a
couple of players. But he's one big contract after another. Ugh,

(01:03:07):
great call, big great call. Let's go to Kevin with
train think cav It's all yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:03:16):

(01:06:18):
the worthy fan bases, the fan bases that have suffered.
So I'm going to make this composite list. And James
got it started with the Charlotte Hornets. I mean, you
want to talk about suffering just in the also ran

(01:06:40):
and just this bad horrible management, and it's cruel that
you got Jordan and he's just a terrible executive. I
don't fit bad.

Speaker 19 (01:06:51):
I don't feel feel bad for that franchise because you
don't feel bad.

Speaker 5 (01:06:55):
Nah, because why they don't they have improved anything too?

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Well, you're not feeling for the French. You feel bad
for the fans, for the fans of the French. You
know what I'm saying. I don't feel bad for them.
You got to prove something. Wait a second. You feel
bad for the Devil's fans, all six of them, Pike, Yeah,
but you.

Speaker 5 (01:07:14):
Don't see the Devils have Like when's the last time
Devil's won a championship?

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
The Devils used to be good.

Speaker 5 (01:07:21):
Yeah, exactly, Charlotte, Come on, what do you mean?

Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
Come on? I mean they stink? I mean right, that's
that's why you feel sorry. I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:07:31):
I don't feel sorry for them. Devils are a different story,
all right, they got big names like bro Door. You
know what I'm saying, Like, who who do you think
of when you think of the Hornets?

Speaker 20 (01:07:42):
Bro the the this is the fans.

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
You gotta understand. The fans are is the team, Like
the team reflects the fans. The fans reflect the team.
You know what I'm saying, it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
The fans full if the team can't get you any players.

Speaker 5 (01:08:02):
Listen, you're born what you're into. You know, you're born
into it. It's not you know.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
Correct, you are born into it. But again, there's a
separation of those people who have suffered. They've suffered the devils. Again,
there's no fan base. It's a couple of dudes in.

Speaker 5 (01:08:23):
Retract my statement. Retract my statement on the devils. But
I'm not feeling for the.

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
You got no feel for the For Charlotte, they actually
were a big deal. NICKI, you're on ninety seven five
ninety Excuse me, I'm morphing into my daily show. Nick,

Speaker 13 (01:09:16):
Let me can't can I can't half of my football
vote for Buffalo.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
I mean there's yes.

Speaker 13 (01:09:21):
In my lifetime, I've not seen it, as you said,
fanatical fans that love their team and just saw the
Earth people who deserve they deserve half.

Speaker 8 (01:09:32):
The Lombardi at least.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
I mean seriously, they do, they do, and the inordinate amounts.
Like so we have the Charlotte Hornets guy, this poor
dude has just been just mired in stink right in sewerage. Fine,
but but it's even more cruel to be close forever

(01:09:57):
and never win.

Speaker 13 (01:09:59):
Like how many times want to go to the wedding
and go up to the altar and there's nobody there
waiting for you.

Speaker 9 (01:10:04):
Yeah, you know, if you.

Speaker 13 (01:10:06):
Don't put the tucks on, you don't show up for
the day. It's another thing when you show up and
and you're left. You know, it's your hands just empty.
But now basketball, I mean, can I get can can
somebody Sixers fans catch a break?

Speaker 15 (01:10:22):
All right?

Speaker 13 (01:10:22):
And first of all, we were the hated face of
the rebuild of the crash, the process and tank and
now everybody's doing it, and it's like, oh, this is
just smart. The Nick's had to do this, or you know,
you hear all these sports reports go oh.

Speaker 15 (01:10:38):
They got to do that.

Speaker 13 (01:10:38):
They got a tank, they got a tank. But when
the Sixers we're trying to tank, it was it was
like we were in a third ring of hell. But
like Anthony, we went through so much. And then I
know a lot of lot of national fans don't know.
But the team tanks. The fans you, whether you want
to go along with it or not, you had to
put out with your team. And they get the prodigy man,

(01:11:01):
they get they get Ben Simmons. This is what they
this is why they tank. They get the number one
pick and at the time probably the consensus number one.
And this guy just he wants caviar and pool sides
and and and and and ugly jersey and ugly clothing.
That's what we want to do, is we're ugly clothings

(01:11:22):
play video games. And tweet about his birthdays when when
the team's losing, and Joel embiid man the hope, the
process and we just find out this year he's got
a tin Hart Man.

Speaker 8 (01:11:37):
He got tin.

Speaker 13 (01:11:38):
Hart And he's not a Jimmy Butler. He's not Lebron,
he's not a not a Kobe like he he loves
the game, but he doesn't hate to lose. And and Bever,
I'm glad Denvers. I'm glad Denver. Denver's fan base is
enjoying what they're getting. But I can't. I can't struggle, man,

(01:11:59):
I am struggling to watch the series. I'm struggling to
root for somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
And so let me ask you because and I get
believe because I live it with you. Uh So I
get the six Yer thing. Forty years since its title.
Forty years is a long long time. Yeah, the Nuggets
never win an ABA franchise. I gotta tell you, you know,

(01:12:27):
I find myself rooting for him, and I think and
they were a worthy fan base.

Speaker 13 (01:12:34):
Yeah, no, they listen, they're worthy of it. They deserve
it that they've suffered, and they put together a fantastic
team the GM there and uh yeah, I don't have Look,
I'm not saying I'm not saying that my hate is
you know, accurate. It's just I just I can just
struggle to watch a team win. But they deserve it.

Speaker 15 (01:12:56):
Yeah, absolutely deserve it.

Speaker 13 (01:12:58):
And and last year's MVP is showing why he was
the m v P two years in a row, because
they'll do whatever he needs to do in the offense
and the defense to get his team to get.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
An Now he lost last year when he won the
m v P the two times the three when he
wins the m v P, those two times he lost.
Maybe you know, maybe you know, maybe the next year
is inbeed. Maybe that maybe you get next urse who's
a better coach, and you get that all the player

(01:13:28):
and maybe it was more hardened than Embid. I don't know.
Let me let me let me let me see.

Speaker 13 (01:13:34):
You broughtup a good point. So uh joking, Yo, the
joker gets get two m vps. Uh, Like those fans
were hateful this year then.

Speaker 9 (01:13:43):
He didn't win the m v P.

Speaker 13 (01:13:44):
Like like that's one that would like like be grateful,
like you should you should be happy you got two
m vps in a row in Denver, and now you're
gonna win the championship. They m hateful this year that
the Joker didn't get the m v P and they
were growing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
Well and it's and that's good stuff, my brother, Love you, buddy.
I think that comes from when you have it one
and all you're looking for right now is MVPs individual
accolades from a fan base. You know, the Nuggets were
not they many people thought the Nuggets as the one

(01:14:19):
seed would not go all the way through. They people
were talking Lakers, they were talking Warriors, they were talking Sons,
and no one really had the Nuggets going all the way.
All right, will come back, continue with your calls eight seven, seven,
nine to nine on Fox. The fan bases who have

(01:14:42):
suffered tell us about yours, fellas. Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen.

Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
Lo.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
All right, fellas, welcome back from the tire Rack dot
com studios where the fellas, I'm Anthony Gargano, We got
on Man the Big Ee and Mighty Mark As we
hang out. Uh let's go. I love this conversation because

(01:15:21):
it's funny if you just listening to Colin Coward. He
was talking about how certain champions they lacked something and
he's like, wow, they're nuggets. And there was a Gilbertarenas
cod saying nobody cares or you know, who cares about
your kids? Nobody's gonna remember it. I think that's nonsense.

(01:15:44):
Now if you want to tell me that, all right,
the nation only cares about the dynasty and the big names,
and okay, but for that town, sports is always regional.
Sports is always about what's who's my team? That's the
essence of it. And when Gilbert Rens goes, well, who's

(01:16:09):
gonna remember Yo Kic? You know he's gonna remember Yo
kicch people in Denver and they're gonna tell their kids
and their grandkids and it lives on and honestly bleep
everybody else. That would be my reaction. My reaction would be, Yo,

(01:16:31):
Gilbert Renez, who cares what you say? Who cares that
you think that your kice? Nobody's gonna remember him or
care or whatever, because people in Denver will what happens
when Buffalo wins the Super Bowl? What happens? I mean

(01:16:52):
that Chaln's gonna go crazy. The nation will go on
and you know, we'll do our thing rudy for our
teams and whatever. That Super Bowl, finally reaching those heights
and finally winning that game will be a momentous occasion.

(01:17:15):
It'll be celebrated. In Philadelphia. We still talk about the
Super Bowl in twenty eighteen and Eagles just got there
last year. But that win, after never having won a
Super Bowl and being so damn close, constantly is talked about.

(01:17:41):
It's a memory. It's this memory that it runs so
deep that it might as well be BC and a
d BC stands for before Championship. That's the truth. So

(01:18:03):
when I hear people denigrate wow, you know who cares?
And columns talking about like well the Kansas City Royals. Yeah, well,
you know, I may not forget. I may forget the
Kansas City Royals, but who cares? Who cares about me?
Because if I'm a Royals fan in Kansas City, I
got that to keep me, you know, warm at night

(01:18:24):
while I'm watching you Salvador Perez. You know, that's why
the beauty of sports is about what happens in our backyard.
It's our team, and every year when somebody else wins,
it it's a new story, and there are fan bases

(01:18:47):
that are completely and utterly deserving and dying for that
chance to celebrate profound. It's profound in this and that
it cannext like that year, a special year, whether it

(01:19:09):
be the Royals winning a World Series or the Chiefs
going back or whatever, or this Nuggets team. You're gonna
create memories and bonds and you're gonna be with one
another and you're gonna be like, hey, remember that, Remember
that day, Remember that game, Remember that run? Do you

(01:19:30):
remember it? We were together? Do you remember being outside
with everybody else? Celebrate. That's why you got a roof
for your hometown team, because it's a matter of civic
pride and civic connection. That's what it's about, all right,
more from you, guys on the other side. Fellas on Fox, Well,

And I know normally when UH figure's on and we
do our fellows tickets more of a rounds able to
be discussion. I want to kind of really get you
guys involved. Eight seven seven nine nine six six three
sixty nine is how you reach us. And today we're

(01:21:02):
talking about the deserved fan bases, the belieguered fan bases,
those who have bled and have just they deserve to win.
And this is off the Nuggets. So I think the
fans of Denver deserve this title. I look, I can

(01:21:28):
step back and look at it and go, you know
what that franchise ABA back in the day, they come
in and they just never win, I mean for years,
years never win. Think about it. Think about how difficult

(01:21:54):
it's been a ride for Nuggets fans. I mean it's
pretty amazing. And even while you're looking at and enjoying
Yo Kisch, you didn't win.

Speaker 20 (01:22:12):
And all those living, all those years, all those years,
the last time you win was nineteen seventy seven, right,
that was the Bill Walton, Maurice Lucas, Lionelhollins.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
Excuse me, that's Portland. I'm like, I'm going on, Trailblazers. Think.
Think about what you've had to deal with all these years.
Think about it. So I'm going through season by season
right now, and I'm looking at him, going Larry Brown

(01:22:57):
was the coach in not nineteen seventy six? How wild?
And all those years of Doug mow and looking up
at the you know, Lakers and then later on looking
up at you know, the George Carl teams and having

(01:23:22):
a deal with the Thunder and then the Jazz and
then the Warriors and the Spurs. Let me think about that.
They never win never. That's a point. So we're talking
about deserving fan bases, and e do you understand what

(01:23:45):
I'm talking about now?

Speaker 5 (01:23:47):
I get what you're talking about. You're giving an educational
lesson here.

Speaker 3 (01:23:51):
Well, no, because you were your heart bleeds for the devils.

Speaker 5 (01:23:55):
That's not true. They were just an example. You know
who I fly with the flyg Ice.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
No, I know you I know you like, but you
were you have some sort of weird sympathy for the devils.

Speaker 5 (01:24:09):
Yeah, you know, just feel bad.

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
Mark, he's got sympathy for the devil. Mark Jersey gets nothing. Well,
right on, Cue Baby, right on, que Mark. That's that's
a strong move by you, buddy. Steve Room in morning,

(01:24:35):
he's going, what's he talking about? What do you think
he's doing right now? What he's saying? I was answering
the phone.

Speaker 5 (01:24:45):
I was talking to John from Minnesota.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
Nice. All right, let me get everybody up here. Let
me get Chase from Sacramento. Good morning, Chase, how are you?
My brother?

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
Good?

Speaker 17 (01:24:56):
I just want to thank first, thank you on a
great show. I want to thank you for that. I mean,
of course you can't. You got to put Sacramento fan,
Sacramento Kings fans at number one, man. I mean literally,
we had a game that was six that stopped us
going to the finals, and then we had sixteen years

(01:25:18):
of not even making it to the playoffs. And in
that time we had to fight the owners to not
move the team to Seattle.

Speaker 13 (01:25:25):
Oh yes, and it was just horrible.

Speaker 17 (01:25:27):
Draft pick after draft pick after draft pick.

Speaker 11 (01:25:30):
That half the.

Speaker 17 (01:25:31):
Guys we drafted, darn't even the NBA anymore, and but
we finally made it to the playoffs this year, have
a great team, great building blocks finally and then the
poor salt in the wounds. You go ninety miles down
the freeway and you got the Golden State Warriors and
have to listen to that all all the time in
that dynasty and have to listen to that.

Speaker 3 (01:25:52):
Yeah, you know what you're that's a great point. You
make a great case too, because you're living in that shadow.
And you're right. I mean you think about those epic
Weber divotch Oh my god, that's just that's and then
what happens after where you just go completely off the grid.

Speaker 17 (01:26:14):
Absolutely, I complete because the owners wanted to move the team. Yeah,
so they just they just threw the team in the garbage.
And then we finally got an owner that just wanted
to put money into the team.

Speaker 11 (01:26:27):
But it just draft pick after draft pick were just
horrible because we.

Speaker 17 (01:26:30):
Were trying to find the hidden diamond in the rough
instead of just going for the sure thing and just
never worked out.

Speaker 15 (01:26:38):
Ever.

Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
No, to your point too, you know that's a that's
a one man squad too, Like when it's a one town.
It's a it's a one team town. I mean they
get the Niners, but like the one that's a big deal.
The King, would you have would you have dealt with
like that's it, that's your squad man.

Speaker 13 (01:27:00):
That's all.

Speaker 17 (01:27:01):
We haven't And I'll tell you what that we went
absolutely bonkers when we've made it to the playoffs this year.
That the city was insane. Game one was ridiculous.

Speaker 15 (01:27:13):
It was crazy.

Speaker 17 (01:27:14):
I can't even imagine what the city is gonna do
when we win a championship.

Speaker 3 (01:27:18):
Yeah. I like to see that. That's a that's a
great one. I like to see that town get you know,
that's that team get good. That's good stuff. Brother, that's
an excellent, excellent call. Thank you, Chase. You forget about
sack Town and being a one team town. You know,

(01:27:38):
and again they're now you got the Niners, not far,
but still you know that that that Kings team, it
used to be they were good and then they go away.
Like he said, And I always hate the threatened to
move thing. Franchises should never be allowed to move to

(01:28:01):
this day, that what happen in Cleveland would happen in Baltimore.
It's not right. I mean, look at the Raiders, think
about it. Eight Anyway, let's go to Bob in Oregon.

Speaker 4 (01:28:22):
Good morning, Bobby, Morning morning. You know, I just want
to touch into something you went into with the Portland
Trail Ledgers. I mean, anyone that's forty five years older,
maybe a little bit older, dealt with the heartache of
losing to the Pistons, then the heartache of getting destroyed
by the Bulls constantly and always being number two, and

(01:28:45):
then you finally think you're making it over the ledge,
but you got this little problem, a three headed monster
called Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal.

Speaker 15 (01:28:54):
And Kim donaghue.

Speaker 4 (01:28:56):
Oh yeah, you being the main player in that Western
Conference championship that robbed us. And since then it's been
a lot of men. I mean, love Damien literal and
love Damien Billard, but they're gonna put something around him, man.
And like you said, it's our one sport, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:29:16):
One team town.

Speaker 4 (01:29:18):
Yeah, you know, it's it's it's always.

Speaker 3 (01:29:21):
And I know, I know what what kind of fans
you guys you were talking about great fans. You go
back to the Rose Garden and you know that that.

Speaker 4 (01:29:29):
Rocking back in the eighties and nineties.

Speaker 3 (01:29:31):
Yeah, yeah, I mean great basketball. And it's a shame because.

Speaker 4 (01:29:37):
Yeah, the pac Man kind of little guy that was Dunks.

Speaker 3 (01:29:42):
I love him. You know what's you know, what's you
know what else sucks is that you always had to
deal with the Jordan thing, the Sam Bowie Jordan's thing.

Speaker 15 (01:29:53):
Yep, I mean it's.

Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
Ever since then. It's like the Curse of Jordan.

Speaker 4 (01:29:59):
We had to do with the Jordan rules, and then
we had to deal with the Kobe rules.

Speaker 3 (01:30:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:30:04):
Yeah, not gonna apologize for that at all. Yeah, Marcu's
from Chicago. Now, no, you that you bring up a great,
great point that the it's what the Blazers have dealt with.
So let me ask you this, what do you want
to do with Dame? Like, do you want to start over?

(01:30:25):
I don't know how you you know, what do you
want to do?

Speaker 4 (01:30:28):
Basically? I mean, at this point, it's kind of in
for a penny, in for a pound, you know, I mean,
he's giving it this far. Might as well ride it
to the end and try to get something around him
and spend some money for Christ's sake and try and
just try to get something besides mediocrity. You know, No,
boy and the money, do something. Jesus, I hear.

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
You, buddy. I feel your pain, my brother, I feel
your pain. Great you guys are great sports fans out
there too. Thank you. Pal. Now that's a Shane man
like that is when you've like I'm clear, we've heard
from Sacramento, Charlotte, Portland. Obviously, you know sack never wins,

(01:31:16):
sack Down never wins, Charlotte never wins. And you gotta
go back. If you're Portland, you go to go. You
gotta go back to seventy seven, like I was talking
about and Bill Walton and then you had to deal
with all that, you know it. You know what's funny,
These teams that have to sit and just watch the

(01:31:37):
Lakers are just they're they're almost like the Washington Generals.
And you gotta sit there and take it from the
Lakers over and over again, from Magic to Kobe and Lebron.
I mean it, just take it. And if it's not

(01:31:59):
the Lakers, is the Warriors and that dynasty that happened.
And if you're Portland and you're Sacramento, right, and you're
the Clippers and you're the Nuggets and you're the Suns,
and you gotta just shake it year after year after year.

Speaker 22 (01:32:23):
That's deep e that's the sad part about it. That's
the sad point. They just gotta take it. Like you said,
the those the generals, they just gotta take it.

Speaker 7 (01:32:34):
I almost can't do anything about it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:36):
Yes, and and look, look we had two callers, Mark
talk about getting robbed Sacktown and Portland, both against the Lakers.

Speaker 7 (01:32:55):
Definitely sacramental thing.

Speaker 23 (01:32:57):
Definitely, Oh god god, I know, yeah, I know it's horrible,
but all right, I love this.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
I want you to keep it going. I know, we
got uh, Jerry who wants to talk about the Dolphins.
We got John who's from Minnesota, and then we got
you guys, eight seven seven nine nine on Fox, eight
seven seven nine nine on Fox. That would be eight

(01:33:31):
seven seven nine ninety six six three six one excuse
me six three six nine eight seven seven nine ninety
six six three sixty nine. Is how you join us?
And we're this discussion is about pain. And it all
started with the worthiness of the Nuggets. I mean quite frankly,

(01:33:54):
Vegas and Florida for the Stanley Cup Finals. I mean,
if I'm in Canada, I go we serious, I'm in Philadelphia,
I'm not even one of the original six, and I go,
what are you serious? There's no sports justice in that

(01:34:15):
final none. All right, Fellas Hanging with you Fox Sports Radio, Ah,
good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome back, Fellas Hanging
out with you, guys. Fellas brought to you by tire

(01:34:41):
rack dot Com and of course Discover. At the end
of your first year, Discover credit cards automatically double the
cash bag that you've earned. That's right, everything you've earned doubled.
Seriously see terms. You can check it out for yourself
at Discovered. Slash Match one clarification because we're talking about

(01:35:08):
teams that deserve to win, that have bled, and fan
bases that have bled, and Perrito Danny Perrico on Twitter
who said I was uneducated. Philly Prickly on Twitter misunderstood

(01:35:34):
the conversation Dan when he asked me if Vegas deserved it.
I said no, we were talking about the Vegas Golden Knights.
We were talking about hockey, Dan, not the Raiders. If

(01:35:55):
you if you listen to the Star cool, just get
it right, like listen, I don't mind if you take shots,
go ahead, I don't care. That's what social media and
all the cowards do. It's fine, but just get it right.
That's my only beef is when you mischaracterize or you

(01:36:16):
don't understand and then you come out, you know, because
I'm pretty easy going dude, Like, you know, you got
a question, you go, dude, I think you might be wrong.
I'm open minded because I'm you know, I'll get things
wrong the Raiders. If you listen to the show, I've
done this show for freaking let's see seventeen years on

(01:36:40):
Fox Sports Radio. And for the bulk of it, I
was with Lincoln Kennedy, who's a dear friend, and Big
Link is mister Raider. And then Figgy, who I brought along,
is another Raider fan, and we've talked about how the

(01:37:00):
Raiders have bled since the Tuck rule. Like we've talked
about this for a long, long long time. And I
know that just because the Raiders moved to Vegas, it
doesn't mean that all of California basically still loves the race.

(01:37:24):
In fact, all California loves the Raiders more than the
Rams and the Chargers if you total love the fan base.
We were talking about hockey and we were talking about
the Vegas Knights and how deserved the Vegas Knights were
to win. That was the point. So just to clarify,

(01:37:51):
because I do have a lot of empathy for other
fan bases. I love sports, man, I truly do. And
joining me right now, I love this guy. He's Sir
scratch Off from Saint Louis. I love Sir scratch Off.
What's up my brother?

Speaker 13 (01:38:12):
Man?

Speaker 9 (01:38:12):
I won't tell you right now. You know me, I'm
an andre son of a gun. So all you ready
to slam me for talking to Anthony on the phone,
call call mallon. Let him know that sirch scratch Off
on Anthony Show again because I got slammed the people
winning gold tickets to get up front. Man, I've been
with you since oh nine. That's when you started. You

(01:38:34):
and Anthony and you and Kennedy and I just laughed
at you guys. Coming out of Missouri, you too was
something the else and but anyway, I'm gonna sell you
this right now. You I was born out in Saxon
Melton sixty six. Then we moved up towards Missouri.

Speaker 3 (01:38:46):
Man.

Speaker 9 (01:38:46):
Now I'm in Arkansas, home the Red Wolves, and I'm
won't tell you something right now. It's just crazy how
the sports of Saint Louis. You got the Cardinals and
sometimes they don't get the scores on this as Fox Sports.
But I'm gonna tell you right now. They had the
fan there for the players, for the for the team,
and then you got the hockey. I mean, then they
had the Rams twice. I mean, people like, man, when

(01:39:08):
you're gonna you're gonna quit washing them. Now they're leave
it again. I said, man, they've left twice. We just
backed up a U haul truck whenever we to move,
you know.

Speaker 15 (01:39:14):
And that's just where it goes.

Speaker 9 (01:39:16):
But then they go to California again. They didn't go
to California because they weren't no good, they had no family.
They went to California because Saint.

Speaker 11 (01:39:21):
Louis wouldn't bild on a stadium.

Speaker 9 (01:39:22):
That's what they are en up there that looks like
a landfill and that's what they use for football. But
I've been there a few times, you know, so you know, yeah,
we bleed, we believe because we lost the football field
again a football team. But I still watch the Rams and.

Speaker 3 (01:39:37):
Twice you lost it twice Cardinals Rams. I mean, sir, scratchef,
that's tough, because that's a great football town. It's a
great sports town.

Speaker 9 (01:39:48):
And I got into all this Fox Sports band back
in old nine and back in twenty years. For you've
been driving twenty five all night, and twenty years I've
been with Fox Sports. I heard all these shows, and yeah,
I like call them. I'm fifty seven years old. I'm
gonna call who the heck I want. As you guys
are all being good to me. Man, you know valering
Eddy and you and and and He's and my boys
there and thinking, oh my gosh, the dude old your

(01:40:09):
sports and I got to meet Justin Cooper. Oh my gosh,
he's he's one of my dudes, my head from It's awesome.
But but anyway, man, my whole point is what happened
La Rams, Saint Louis Rams. We got a Kurt Warner
was our quarterback, got your Super Bowl. I mean we
heard every day because we like to have a football team.

(01:40:29):
You know, it went off to another state. But dude,
if that's what I had to take. We got a
football team. What was it five point two billion dollars
first day? I mean, we got a beautiful stadium, right,
I mean, it's all about it. But man, I'm not
going to give up because these teams move off all
you got right.

Speaker 3 (01:40:44):
No, it's criminal, dude, it's criminal. I'm with you, absolutely criminal.
Not fair. Thank you, Sear. Scratch off. How about we
do changing my man? Go ahead, keV Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:41:04):
Busy day of Major League baseball on Friday, including that
big opening game of the three game series in Los
Angeles Dodgers and Yankees. As it was a big star
for La, a six to nothing lead after the first inning,
Luis Severino getting chased there by La, Mookie Betts hitting
two home runs and yet two hits in the first
inning as La batted around Clayton Kershof for the first

(01:41:27):

packing to nothing. In that elimination game, Utah losing twice
and their season comes to an end as Washington beat
him four to one, Oklahoma State blanking them eate nothing
and that one ended in five innings because of the
mercy rule. Big news in college sports is Big twelve.

(01:42:32):
Commissioner Brett your Mark said the conference will pursue more
expansion if the opportunity presents itself, but he also said
that he did like their current composition in the NBA.
Frank Vogel reportedly finalizing a five year, thirty one million
dollar contract to become the new head coach of the
Phoenix Suns in the NFL. The Chicago Bear saying Arlington

(01:42:53):
Heights no longer their singular focus for a new stadium
after tax issues arose. The city of Naperville is now
jumped into the race to lure the Bears. And in
tennis the French Open as Carlos Alcarez the top seed,
cruising to the round of sixteen and straight sets. One
player that is normally a fixedure at Roland Garrosat is

(01:43:14):
not playing this year is Raphael Nadali. Had a hip
injury on Friday, had arthroscopic surgery to repair it. And
at the Memorial it's justin Sue ahead by one strokeover
Hideki Matsuyama, Scottie Scheffler barely making the cut at three
over par, while Jason Day, who's four over par, missed
the cut back of view.

Speaker 3 (01:43:33):
A right party, fellas as we hang out, that's right
from the tire rack dot com studios. Let's talk about
our fan bases that have bled, that deserved its titles.
This all starts from the Nuggets. So let's go to Colorado.

(01:43:55):
Let's talk the Mark in Colorado. Mark, you're on with
the Fellows.

Speaker 8 (01:43:59):
Good morning, Hey Anthony, good morning, how are you, buddy?
I am good. I'm a Boston sports fan. I moved
to Colorado in ninety nine, so I have a little
insight on the Denver sports fan. And you know this
being in your profession. This is all Broncos all the time.
They tend to be a little bit of front runners

(01:44:20):
with regard to the other three. I mean that would
be the Avalanche, as the Rockies and the Nuggets. So
when you say deserves miss, I think they take a
Super Bowl from the Broncos any day over a win
from the other three teams. It's very very much in
the background. They're rabbit on once they're hooked up, but

(01:44:41):
they don't really care if the team's mediocre. They don't
you know, they don't really support them. But you led
me to the point I was going to make before
the last break when you were talking about Vegas. Does
Vegas deserve it?

Speaker 5 (01:44:55):
Is?

Speaker 8 (01:44:55):
Their base deserve it there? Do they have a fan base?
I mean I don't know. Oh, they've been around for
a five years. The Maple leaf fans who last won
a Cup in sixty seven. At the time that they
won their last Cup, the Canadians had fifteen Cups. The
Leafs had thirteen. They were neck and neck for pre

(01:45:16):
eminence in the NHL and have won nothing since. Since
they last won, the Canadians have won nine. Those fans show.

Speaker 13 (01:45:25):
Up every day.

Speaker 8 (01:45:26):
They never play in front of an empty seat. You know,
fifty thousand of them show up outside of the arena
when they're on the road in the playoffs. They waited
twenty years to win a playoff series, for God's sake. Yeah,
constantly getting their guts ripped out. So I would say
as far as an individual teams base, the Leafs fans
are the most deserving, and as far as the United

(01:45:48):
States goes, the Viking fans are right there with the
Bills fans.

Speaker 3 (01:45:53):
I mean yeah, I mean they had a special kind
of torture. Yes, when you think about what they have
done with and being so close and you go back
to the oh my god, talk about miss kicks. They
had their own yes chip shot that they missed.

Speaker 8 (01:46:10):
Oh god, yeah, that was like a twenty two yard
or from what I remember, I mean that was yeah. Yeah,
Well the fifteen and one team with Culpepper and Randy
Moss and Chris Carter where they you know, got beat
on the last second field goal at home to a
craptastic Falcon team.

Speaker 3 (01:46:28):
How about and how about the far thing? Oh yeah,
I mean he throws the pick. Why are you throwing them? What?
What are you doing?

Speaker 15 (01:46:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:46:36):
That was that was insane. That was an overtime too,
from what I remember. Yes, yeah, that's yeah, that that's
an absolute riperd guts out moment for sure. But yeah,
I think the Viking fans, uh you know, I'm a
truck driver, so I talked sports with everybody all over
the country. Bills fans are insane. They're great, yeah, they

(01:46:58):
really are. But the Viking fan I mean, Minneapolis is
very much like Denver in the sense that every even
the Twins, I mean they love the Twins, but the
other three teams are very much in the background.

Speaker 15 (01:47:12):
They would have.

Speaker 3 (01:47:14):
Football like other than the East Coast pockets, right, because
you're from Boston, other than the East Coast pockets. You know,
listen football even in Philadelphia the same thing. Football rules
the roost at right. And but these other teams, like
I think about the Nuggets, I mean that's a franchise,
been around a long time and the building does get loud.

(01:47:36):
Like I covered a bunch of games there and it's
been it was always a good spot to get like
they were into it.

Speaker 8 (01:47:43):
Yeah, Denver fans are great when like I said, when
they're when they're piled in, you're not gonna find a
more insanely rabid fan base, but they are. I mean
I saw the Leafs play the Avalanche maybe six seven
years ago. There were like seven thousand people there because
me good. And that's kind of how the Nuggets went
most of the time. And you know that the Rockies

(01:48:05):
can't put together a team and owner doesn't spend any money. Nobody,
nobody shows up unless they want to shut out.

Speaker 3 (01:48:11):
Yeah, it's a shame too. But I remember I covered
one of their first games, and you know that that
seemed to like a France that was going to work.
Great call, brother, I appreciate it, Mark, And they just
never could get it right. The Rockies were a team
that just somehow never got it right. Now, you know

(01:48:34):
obviously course field and pitching and everything else, but I
mean I always thought that they were close, and they
just it's a shame now I've taken such a dramatic
step backward. Blake is from Colorado. Good morning, Blake, Yo, Blake,

(01:48:57):
Blake Street Bomber. We got you now, all right, let's
go to speaking of Minnesota. Let's go to John John.

Speaker 17 (01:49:08):
Good morning, Good morning, first first time caller.

Speaker 3 (01:49:13):
Welcome John.

Speaker 24 (01:49:15):
I am a radio travel radiographer, so I'm originally from Wisconsin,
so presently I am in Minnesota, but h my heart
goes to Wisconsin. I just wanted to say, one of
your announcers you were talking about earlier, I swear he
hates everything Wisconsin. I think he's black toast intolerance because

(01:49:40):
he actually said that there's there's nothing to do in
Green Bay.

Speaker 15 (01:49:45):
But my point is, who said that.

Speaker 3 (01:49:49):
I'm sorry, it was a different show.

Speaker 15 (01:49:52):
It was a different show.

Speaker 25 (01:49:55):
You were talking about his names. Okay, he uh said
there's nothing to do in Green Bay?

Speaker 24 (01:50:06):
Why would any player want to go there? But I
am glad, but you have a pitch and be honest
and things like that.

Speaker 15 (01:50:13):
Go into these.

Speaker 24 (01:50:14):
Smaller markets, they're saying, hey, it's great place to live.
The fans love you and go anywhere you want, and
you got enough money in the office, you don't don't
do whatever you want, but you're there to work. And
I think la and everything else like that. You guys

(01:50:35):
get caught up in all the hoopla and everything and they.

Speaker 11 (01:50:38):
Don't concentrate undertain.

Speaker 17 (01:50:40):
But the smaller markets are very appealing.

Speaker 24 (01:50:43):
To go to because you are loved when you go.

Speaker 26 (01:50:48):
Out in the community.

Speaker 3 (01:50:50):
Well, I mean that that the charm of all, the
whole charm of green Bay is the fact that that
it's the smallest market. The fact that green Bay when
you have training camp, and that whole tradition of the
bikes and the kids holding their you know, halt to
carrying the shoulder pads and the shells. I mean, that's

(01:51:13):
it's a beautiful thing. I didn't hear a concept, but
you know, again, obviously it's a small market, and you know,
I love the fact that a green Bay exists. It's
Lambeau to me. It's always exuded in football. It exudes football.
I guess he was probably talking about Aaron Rodgers and
now that Aaron Rodgers in New York and obviously it's

(01:51:36):
just such. You can't get a bigger difference, right You're
going from green Bay to New York City, you know,
I mean, I think it's kind of yeah, speaks for itself.
But one of the things that's great about and having
been to green Bay a ton covering sports is it's

(01:52:01):
just tradition of football. And I do think listen, I
don't think Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers loved his time there.
I think his biggest beef was with management. And coaching staff.
So it's not like he was running New York to
be in the spotlight or to be on Broadway. I

(01:52:21):
do think it's probably a great change for him, something different.
All Right, we're gonna take quick, tyl. We'll come right back.
More your calls, more of your deserving fan bases who
have bled and need a title. Where the fellas right
here on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back fellas from the

(01:52:52):
tai iraq dot com studios. You know what else has changed?
At Earlier in the show, we were talking about youth sports,
and uh, because I got two kids and we got
football camp coming up with some I'm excited for. But
my Masuma, my ten year old, has a.

Speaker 13 (01:53:13):
What up?

Speaker 3 (01:53:14):
So he's game starts at eight o'clock, so I have
the there's an app game Changer, and the game Changer
app I can actually usually they put a camera so
I can actually watch the game on my phone. And

(01:53:35):
at the very least there is the game cast like ESPN,
so that I could follow through follow the game cast along. E.
It's wild.

Speaker 7 (01:53:46):
That's amazing. It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:53:48):
Mark, Like imagine when you're like when we were kids,
like playing ballle like this is it's the greatest thing
in the world. Like you actually have a like I
can actually sit here and keep track of what Mossi's doing.
Different world.

Speaker 5 (01:54:11):
It's it's even for me like fifteen years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):
Yeah, no, no, I mean, without a doubt, without a doubt,
it's it's completely changed. I mean, this is the last
five years because all the streaming stuff. I mean, it's
it's I love it. It's awesome because listen, I like
to be at every game. So I'm at every one
of my kids games. I'm there, and so like when

(01:54:40):
I'm not and he's playing and starting at ten minutes
when I'm not there, it drives me insane. So I'm like,
I'm plumped up. Then I'll be able to check it
out on the app.

Speaker 5 (01:54:52):
Yeah, my mom would have loved that. Should have just
been like, all right, uh, I'll just watch from home
in bed. You know, it would have been perfect. She
wanted to miss the game. She usually didn't miss a game,
but she definitely wanted to have missed any.

Speaker 3 (01:55:08):
Look at that. I see that she would have been
What was your sport? So I played?

Speaker 5 (01:55:17):
I played all the sports. I played travel basketball until
I was too short, and then I didn't grow. I played, uh,
legion baseball, did that whole thing, and travel soccer, and
I played high school. Yeah it's the best, you know,

(01:55:39):
sound funny. I actually kicked for the football team in
my high school too. I got drilled.

Speaker 3 (01:55:44):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 5 (01:55:45):
I got ran over. My finger is still crooked.

Speaker 3 (01:55:50):
It's good. It's a character. Yeah, it still character. How
about you, Marky.

Speaker 7 (01:55:56):
I played a little little league baseball. That's pretty much it.

Speaker 3 (01:56:00):
I could see you having a big stroke shortstop and
oh look at you play.

Speaker 6 (01:56:05):
And then a pitcher, which was just strange because I'm
very short, so it was kind of crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:56:09):
But I could.

Speaker 7 (01:56:10):
I had a good arm so I could pitch.

Speaker 3 (01:56:12):
Good, good, good good. It's the best, it really is.
It's it's so much fun. I absolutely love it. Uh,
let me get to to where we had, Arthur, you're
on with the Fellas. Good morning, Arthur.

Speaker 4 (01:56:30):
Hey, good morning Anthony.

Speaker 27 (01:56:31):
Great show, great city.

Speaker 4 (01:56:33):
I've been there three weeks in August, sweated.

Speaker 27 (01:56:36):
But I loved it.

Speaker 3 (01:56:40):
Yeah a lot.

Speaker 13 (01:56:40):
In August, I ran up the rocky stairs.

Speaker 3 (01:56:44):
Oh that's cool, buddy, that's cool. Yeah, it's a it's
a good city. It's a fun city.

Speaker 13 (01:56:50):
Yeah, it's just beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:56:51):
But I think Mark stole my thunder on the Vikings,
not just had two more points of that nineteen seventy
five Roger Staubach to Drew Pearson, Oh, Drew Pearson.

Speaker 3 (01:57:05):
The foreman in the Purple People leaders exactly.

Speaker 27 (01:57:09):
And Pearson pushed off Paul Krause our corner.

Speaker 15 (01:57:13):
Oh no, he did.

Speaker 27 (01:57:16):
And the last point on the Vikings is along with
the Brett Farv game that was remember that was bounty gates.
Sean Payton and other management of the Saints put out
a bounty to hurt Brett Farr.

Speaker 3 (01:57:33):
Remember, Oh my god, Yeah that's crazy.

Speaker 15 (01:57:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 27 (01:57:38):
And Sean Payton got sent for you for a year,
and the defensive coordinators got banned from NFL.

Speaker 4 (01:57:45):
Remember yeah, yeah, you all know.

Speaker 3 (01:57:47):
I know because my buddy Spags, I had to be
thrust into it. Yeah, no, I no, I remember the
bounty gate. Well that was. If you want to talk
about torture for you guys, I mean what, yeah, it is.
It's true, the Vikings and the Bills, and what a
great call, John, buddy, great call. The fact that you

(01:58:07):
guys have had so close ah torture, Arthur, so close,
Arthur Man, those Vikings and then you deal with you
got Adrian Peterson. I mean, look at that, Look at

(01:58:27):
that incredible you know you to about that franchise and
all the talent that's been through it. I mean it's uncanny.
Arthur's dead, right. I mean it all starts between the
Bills going the four Super Bowls and then this latest

(01:58:50):
run with Sean McDermott and Josh Allen and Diggs and
this whole which has been just a great, great time
and still not to win. And then the Vikings. You
go back to how many different chances have they had,

(01:59:13):
so close, so tantalize. That's what makes it the worst thing, right,
That's what It's one thing. I your banned like our
Charlotte Hornets guy, But when you're tantalizingly close, that's what's tough.
All Right, we'll come back. We got one more segment
of calls. All right, fellas hanging with you guys right here.

Mark and the Big e.

Speaker 11 (02:00:12):

Speaker 3 (02:00:13):
We convene every Saturday morning. Figi's off and we're with
you talking a lot about suffering and the championship and
fans and a lot of bads to do with Colorado
and the Nuggets and the fact that the Nuggets are
finally going to get through. I think, look, I know

(02:00:34):
it's one game and they still gonna you know, you
still got a whole series in Miami is a vampire
type of team. The heat can come back at you
at any time. But you get the sense when you
when you look at the match up, you just get
the sense that they're just too potent. They did Jesus

(02:00:57):
match up. The matchup I think is really favors Denver.
So we're talking about franchises and really cities and towns
that deserve to win, that have suffered greatly. So we're

(02:01:17):
asking you to talk about your own suffering and how
that matters and how we you know, and that trust
me as someone that was born and raised in Philadelphia.
The Eagles, who are you know, we are the pride

(02:01:38):
of Eagles are part of the soul of the town.
Sports town, Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, Union, the whole thing, but
the Eagles are you know, it's football, so there's a
special piece of it. And when they finally won in
February twenty eighteen, it was this moment of rapture the

(02:02:03):
whole city. I never saw anything like. It was such
a beautiful moment. And so I'd like to I enjoy
other towns that care about sports the way we care
about it, and that deserve it. And so we're talking
about these wounded fan bases that would deserve that justice.

(02:02:27):
Sports Justice says would deserve its title because you're suffering.
Like we brought up the Stanley Cup final Florida Vegas.
I mean, that's hard. You got two franchises that are
fifteen minutes old in transient cities. While we had one

(02:02:54):
caller brought up the Toronto's Toronto fans the Maple Leafs
and just look at it, hockey fans, belieguered old cities
that never won or I haven't won in a long,
long long time. So that's been the big discuss in today.

(02:03:18):
Coming up at about twenty minutes, we're gonna be talking
to the big brain and we'll take a look at
sports from a betting standpoint. The fellas, of course, come

you know, he doesn't really understand certain things, but I'm
off of the football. I want to see a run.
I want to see a pass. I want to see
a sweep. I want to see the whole thing I

I want to see. And then and once August comes around,
let me talk to you.

Speaker 3 (02:05:10):
Wait a minute, you're talking August, not even you. You

Speaker 5 (02:06:38):
Because my heart was crushed just three months ago. You're

Speaker 11 (02:07:12):

Speaker 3 (02:07:15):
Then gonzag a minute, Oh Gonzaga, Oh big wing out.
You ain't lying.

Speaker 11 (02:07:25):
It hurts man. It's like like every year, every year
we get to man at least at least age sixteen,
get to get to you know, for you know, and
they dog us out every time. But it's like, you know,
we got a major fan base. We go hard.

Speaker 3 (02:07:42):
No, you guys listen, big time. You guys are big time.
You have a big time fan base. Are you kidding me?
And it's I can imagine how it's tortures. I didn't
even thought about the college basketball piece of it, and
being there in that tournament every year so close.

Speaker 11 (02:08:02):
Man, man, it's it hurts hey, you know what I'm saying.
And wise they make us a lot of money all
the way up to the end. Yeah, yeah, it's it's rough.
But but you know, like I said, all we got
is is the Zachs smoking, you know what I'm saying.
But but they took they took the signings from Seattle,
so it's just like we gotta we gotta stick in there.

Speaker 3 (02:08:21):
Man, what about the What about the Seahawks though? Are
you still? Are you a Seahawks player?

Speaker 11 (02:08:28):
I'm an Eagles fan and I was young Eagle fans.
I was yet because you know, because because what it is.
In middle school, our team was the Eagles and we
was undefeated, so you know, we had to go there,
so I just eagle.

Speaker 3 (02:08:43):
Well, have you ever come here for a game? I'll
show you around.

Speaker 11 (02:08:47):
Definitely, definitely.

Speaker 3 (02:08:51):
That's that's great. Oh, my man, have a great weekend.
My brother appreciate it. That's funny. I'm expective and go, yeah,
you know, because I like Seattle this year. I think
Seattle's gonna be good. Derek is from New York.

Speaker 15 (02:09:10):
Hello, Derek, Anthony.

Speaker 26 (02:09:13):
We haven't spoken in a while. We had some great
raps before, man, and you are so enthusiastic you still.
I've said it many times, all of us listening to you,
ninety five percent of us, we're just big kids at heart.

Speaker 3 (02:09:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (02:09:25):
You know a lot of times the women in our life,
they don't understand it, and it is what we love.
Irrational at times, absolutely, man. I mean, I'm I'm on
hold here and I'm thinking, and I'm you know, sometimes
your your callers get other ideas. I'm gonna keep this
real quick.

Speaker 15 (02:09:40):
I thought about the.

Speaker 26 (02:09:41):
Cleveland Indians being a you know, an Indian fan and
now Guardians and but and what they've gone through. But
then I'm a Green Bay Packer fan and I'm listening
to guys in Minnesota, and even though I hate the
vikings by Queens, I totally empathize with them. I mean,
I'm old enough. I'm old enough Anthony to have seen
Frank Tarkington play Tell me a guy who deserved the

(02:10:01):
title more than Frank Tarkington. Come on. And then I
thought about wait, a minute. How about you know the
reason I became a Utah Jazz fan was the great,
great Pete Marritage, Anthony. Can you imagine if they had
a three point line back in the day when Marrivage
was playing in college, it would be unbelievable. And you know,
and so the Utah Jazz they were within inches of

(02:10:22):
winning a title, and I was a jazz fan. Karl
Malone and John Stockton. You're gonna tell me the two guys,
two guys that deserved the title more. I mean, I
was so.

Speaker 3 (02:10:30):
Upset, Yes, speak of a goodag.

Speaker 26 (02:10:33):
Yeah, I was so upset when the Jazz lost that title.
The next day, my in laws were moving from one
house to another and we had a whole bunch of
rocks and foundation we had to throw onto a truck.
I was lifting rocks that were I had no business
lifting and having them on the truck because I was angry.
I had to go to physical therapy from freaking five

(02:10:55):
because I was so pissed. But really, I you know,
it's it's great to hear from fan bases about the
frustration because when you're right there, how about the bills,
your audience and the guys that you're on the show
with today. They're not old enough to remember. But man,
the Buffalo Bills were in four straight Super Bowls. Come on,
I mean there, you know. And the Cleveland Indians in

(02:11:19):
ninety seven, they played Florida, they're within one pitch a
win in the World Series and then they lose the game.
Florida dismantles the team. And then, of course a few
years ago Cleveland played the Chicago Cubs and I understood, Jesus,
Cubs have never won it. Everybody in the country, most
people were rooting for Chicago Cubs. And then some announcers
are saying, yeah, but what about the Indians?

Speaker 8 (02:11:41):
Right right?

Speaker 26 (02:11:42):
Is a great topic, man, and everybody's opinions are relevant.
And that guy that just called saying, hey, I'm an
Eagles fan because of my team when I was a kid,
that's great.

Speaker 15 (02:11:52):
That is awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:11:53):
That is that's fabulous. I know. I love the conversation
because I love hearing people's like their own passions in
perspective and all that stuff that's pent up. And to me,
those two you know they in fact you, Derek, what
a pleasure. It's great to reconnect with you. It means

(02:12:15):
it just means so deeply to the town, to the
memories that people make with one another. It's beautiful. All Right,
we're gonna take quick too. We'll come back and we'll
take a look at sports from a betting standpoint with
the big Brain on Brad Brad Feinberger betting analysts coming
up next, where the Fellas on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 15 (02:12:43):
This team has been incredible at home. But Anthony, I
just think that Sporture is a great coach in terms
of making adjustments. I think they really how they played
was you know, flawed for lack of a better word.
And I think they can keep this competitive. I really do,
because if they don't, I actually think that they are well.

(02:13:05):
I know, I don't think that they're going to be
in really big trouble because it'll be very hard to
beat this Denver team four to five times. I also
do lean Anthony.

Speaker 3 (02:13:13):
Real quick, So let's examine it. So you like the
bounce back more because of and listen, I agree. I'm
a big Spolster fan. He's a great coach, he really is.
I think there's a matchup problem with Miami and Denver.

Speaker 15 (02:13:31):
Yeah, look, this Denver team offensively is a juggernaut They
are very tough to stop. They are very tough to defend.
And like, you know, one thing I've learned and I'm
always trying to learn is watching these playoffs. You know,
I think it's generally hard to have one of your
best players like the center, you know, because they can
be taken out of the game. You know, when you

(02:13:52):
see Joel Embiid, you know he can be taken out
of these playoff teams quite easily. It seems like Joki
take out of the game. He controls the game like
no one else has ever seen. So it's it's it's
it is a tough thing from a matchup point of view,
because this team is just so good offensively, speaking of offense.

(02:14:13):
To the total of the game, Anthony, they lowered this
total from two nineteen to to fourteen and a half. Look,
I know game one will way under the total, but
I think it's too much of an adjustment. I do.
I still I like over in game two is I
think that they're too big of an adjustment, a four
and a half per point adjustment based off what we
saw off game one. I think they'll be points scored

(02:14:36):
in this game. And I do think that Miami can
keep this game competitive, Anthony. Again, I have more interested
in taking Miami getting nine than have them getting you know,
two and a half at home. I'd rather see them
get you have dead raft to blow them out, which
maybe they will, but I just think it's too many points.
Fancy this will be the first time in the three
point era where a team has a losing record on

(02:14:58):
the road that wins the be Championship, because both these
teams had a losing record on the road.

Speaker 3 (02:15:07):
Yeah, I you know, it's funny. And obviously that the
home court. You know, it's funny. You're talking and I'm
making it makes me like Denver Moore because I agree
with you on the over. I think Miami will score
a little bit more, but man, I don't think they
can stop him. And I think they stop Denver. And

(02:15:29):
I think that that home floor is so tough. And
the one issue that I have with Miami's with Jimmy.
They do a good job with Jimmy.

Speaker 15 (02:15:42):
Yeah, well, I mean they certainly did, Anthony in in
Game one. And but again, Anthony, look the coaching and
the adjustments, and again I feel like I have on
my side a guy is the most in terms of

(02:16:03):
those assessments. Look, Butler, look they you know besides gate Vincent,
you know, most of the other players just truth killed them.
I mean again, when.

Speaker 3 (02:16:16):
Caleb Martin, they need more out of Martin, you have
to get more.

Speaker 15 (02:16:23):
Look, Martin really has impressed me a toun in these playoffs,
and he went back to being not the call Martin
breakout star, but more than Caleb Martin inconsistent role player.
So maybe again, maybe that's what he more is. I
don't think so, though. I think he is going to
bounce back and have a productive game again. Miami I

(02:16:44):
definitely has run me over in these playoffs. I came
into the postseason again, asked me what I know I mentioned,
I mentioned this to you the NBA mon as, would
the book makers stick by the power ratings pre playoffs?
And they really don't get off it. And there's been
real value with Miami because they had considered them to

(02:17:04):
be far worse than Boston. When you know, when watching
those games.

Speaker 8 (02:17:08):
Right right right, far worse?

Speaker 15 (02:17:09):
Now are they far worse than Denver? Maybe Denver's definitely
been the best team they faced, But I'm not ready
to say that they're necessarily far worships. I'm just not.

Speaker 3 (02:17:21):
Yeah, listen, I feel like I just I just look
at it, and would you say seven and a half?

Speaker 15 (02:17:28):
I got nine. It's you can get ninety after. You
just have to shop at eight and a half nine
and I will give you a prop. Though Anthony I
did like in tonight's game, and the Steve props have
gotten very sharp, by the way, very tough to find
more value, you know, because they Ogustin were just on
one game. But damn Adebio did have a great first game.
Anthony had twenty six points, but I liked him under

(02:17:50):
eighteen and a half last thirty games, twenty and ten
of the under twelve and seventy under the playoffs. His
first game was sixteen and a half. You're raising at
two points to him a little bit of a recency bias.
I think eighteen nation little to attach you high for him.

Speaker 3 (02:18:07):
Yeah, I could see that. Wow, nothing that that's your
only Usually you're always come up with more props.

Speaker 15 (02:18:14):
Yes, but these numbers, in my opinion, were extremely sharp.

Speaker 1 (02:18:21):
Uh.

Speaker 15 (02:18:21):
And I listen, I spend too much time doing this
and and and really pouring over every single prop, every
single thing I could say. Now, I also do have
a lean Anthony, they did make Jimmy down from twenty
seven and a half twenty five and a half. See,
I'm actually gonna lean over for Jimmy Butler because again,
I think he is the kind of guy that being

(02:18:44):
maybe he wasn't aggressive and off in game one, He's
gonna come out and maybe say, listen, I need to
carry this team. I need to carry my team for
game two. I think it's going to be more of
a Jimmy game. So if that would be the other one, again,
I think BAM will be a little less involved off that.

Speaker 3 (02:18:59):
Well, if you do that, you know, if you if
you think about it right, Jimmy will try to get
to the line. So you got to figure out. You
got to believe that Jimmy will get to the line
a lot more in this game and therefore score a
lot more. And as far as the pizza bet, this
is interesting. Jimmy score forty is ten to one.

Speaker 15 (02:19:23):
Yeah, and again listen again, forty that.

Speaker 3 (02:19:26):
Might be an attractive pizza bet.

Speaker 15 (02:19:28):
Yeah, it is certainly a big, big number. But Jimmy
Butler was shown in not just this postseason anty, but
in multiple postseasons in the past two years that he
has that in him, and.

Speaker 3 (02:19:41):
Yeah, he can score forty, score forty.

Speaker 15 (02:19:43):
Yeah, this is to be one of those games where.

Speaker 3 (02:19:47):
You know.

Speaker 15 (02:19:49):
He's going to need it in my opinion, especially in
such a great you know, in my opinion, this Denver
team is very tough to stop.

Speaker 3 (02:19:58):
So ill and I can see the game being i'd like,
you're over, and I could see the game being more
wide open, and I you gotta expect them to go
to the line more. Jimmy said he after the game
that he's gonna look to to he wants to, you know,
attack the basket. And so look, you take you bet

(02:20:19):
Jimmy's over, and then you back it up with a
pizza bet. You take him for you know, forty to
go over forty for a pizza bet.

Speaker 15 (02:20:27):
Well, it's interesting. He's going over Anthony two of the
fifteen games in the playoffs, so again getting ten to
one odds, you know he's doing it one of them,
but a seven games or so right now, and he
had it back to back against against Milwaukee, he had
I think it was fifty six and forty two. And
then he's also had a couple I think other mid
thirty point games. But again, you're you're not betting on

(02:20:47):
something that's expected to happen. But if you think the
odds are you know, one and eleven are better, and
it makes it a good bet. But it happens one
and nine times, it's a good bet. So that's all
you need. And in this spot again, I think we're
gonna see a little bit more of an aggressive turn me.

Speaker 3 (02:21:01):
Yeah, I like it, Bradley, do me favorite sit tight.
We gotta get some trending, keV. What's happening? Well.

Speaker 10 (02:21:09):
The first event of the day is gonna be the
final round of the Memorial as Justin Sue ahead by

team has done. And credit to them. They here they

(02:24:00):
are in the finals and they've won, and it's I
don't look, I give them credit, but listen, this Vegas team,
Anthey to me, is another just really good strong team.
This team beat the Edmonton team that I thought was
on a path to go to the finals with the
two best players in the world. It was able to
stop them, but they had nineteen more points than Florida
did during the regular season. I think it's a close series.

(02:24:23):
I have a lot of respect for both these teams.
Lean here towards Vegas Anton that the price in the
series to me is relatively cheap for a team that
has been better all year. Now again, we talked about
Mammy being underrated, but Derek Madami was like a four
and a half and one underdog right here, you have
a baby underdog in Florida. So Florida is getting the
respect for a team that's playing great right now. So

(02:24:45):
I do lean Vegas. Now, Yancy, you could still bet
like who's gonna win the Times to Mike Trophy. Look,
if it's if you're looking for Florida, it's really tough
between to Chuck and Bobrovski. You take like Ikoh, I
think he's their best bet, and you can get four
and a half torn odds on him to win con
Smike Trope. And if you like Vegas, I would probably

(02:25:07):
take a little bit of a bet on that. I
think four and a half toourn odds is worth it
because I think he's been their best player in the postseason.

Speaker 3 (02:25:14):
Yeah, that's a real good bet. Yeah, I actually like Vegas.
I like Vegas a lot in this in this series,
and yeah, I mean I I just think they're just
a better team.

Speaker 15 (02:25:28):
Yeah, and I think they have a better chance. I mean,
obviously it's scoring goals, but I just I like the
way they are offensive a little more like Florida. On
the Florida again, they won four straight overtime games against Carolina.
That's give him credit. But again, I just think I
think Vegas he is the second best team they faced
after Boston. And I know they beat Boston, but let's

(02:25:49):
be honest. They were also down with forty five seconds
to go in Game seven. Polledal going got a miracle
win in Boston. I don't know, We'll say again, I
do think Vegas pulls a series out.

Speaker 3 (02:26:01):
Yeah, man, any any baseball strike your fancy. My god,
they're just bad.

Speaker 15 (02:26:09):
Yeah, you know you're not.

Speaker 3 (02:26:11):
Again, I was shocked they lost last night. Wheeler got
beat up by Washington.

Speaker 15 (02:26:16):
Well, but Washington was better than people realize. Anthony that's
number one. And Josiah Gray has actually been decent and
as he knows, a Philly guy, you know, Zach Wheeler's
just been like very yeah, but he's cut.

Speaker 3 (02:26:28):
I thought he turned the corner. He pitched the gem
in Atlanta last week. It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful game,
and I thought he had kind of turned the corner.

Speaker 15 (02:26:39):
He did and listen, but again it's we talked about, Anthony.
The number one thing in sports that makes people great.
It's even that you're great in that game. It's consistency,
you know.

Speaker 3 (02:26:50):
Yeah, I mean, Wheeler's a big consistence throughout his career.
Like well, I mean, Wheeler's an upper restlant pitcher. I
just thought that last night was going to be like
he would start, he would start a little bit of.

Speaker 15 (02:27:03):
A yeah, yeah, I understand, I understand, Anthony. My favorite
bet of the day terms of a straight game is
the Tigers plus a dour forty five Michael Lorenzen against
Dylan Cease. Now, look, Lorenzen has been good, Anthony. He's
yeah or one run, zero or one run in five

(02:27:27):
of those last seven starts as a three fifty or
a one to ten whip's been followed. Dylan Seas was
one of my favorites. Before the year you talk about
Zach Wheeler. To me, Dylan Ceaze has been like that
in the American League. He's only had one touch game
in his last ten of allowing one runner left. He's
a four eight eighty ra a one forty whip. You're
basically getting almost three to two odds. Again, I'm might

(02:27:48):
even I don't necessarily think the White Socks necessarily deserve
to be favorite in this game. The way these pictures
have been going, Tiger's actually have a better record than
the White Sox. I think this line is just too aggressive.
I like Lorenz and plus the dollar forty five and
I'll give you quickly a couple of props. Don't cease. Look,
he's nine and three under seven and a half strikeouts.

(02:28:11):
I just think he's averaging five and a half. They're
making it seven and a half. I think they're just
going a little bit too aggressive based off past his
past history. I know I'm double dipping a little bit here,
but I thought the number should have been closer to
six and a half, not seven and a half. Drew
Smiley over three and a half strikeouts Anthony sixteen and
sixth last year, seven and four this year. So twenty

(02:28:31):
three and ten his last thirty three games, think three
and a half. That number should have been four and
a half. And then Christian Hobby are one of my
favorite pictures in all of Major League Baseball over seventeen
and a half outs. Think this guy's a stud seven
and four this year. And I expected the pitch to
sixty fownings today against a pretty good and I'm Angel's lineup.
But I think Christian Hovey will get us there.

Speaker 3 (02:28:51):
Yeah, I like him. Well, I agree with you. He
is a terrific he's under rated.

Speaker 15 (02:28:58):
Yeah. Well, look we watched the pitch and no him
in the World Series last year. Yeah, and and this guy,
and I'll give you one of the games. I have
fine on Anthony. I looked again. I always think again,
would you rather be consistent? Would you rather be right?
Cosey barriers with a state of mind before the year.
But he's pitched decently and I'm opening my eyes to
the fact that he's he has been serviceable. Him versus

(02:29:18):
Tyler McGill, I have the better lineup with Toronto. I
have the better pitcher with Toronto. I mean I took
him as a slight underdog and now a slight favorite,
but I think they deserve to be, you know, like
a legitimate dour thirty favorite. Here you can lay in
the round pick them around a dour ten. I think
Barrios is a pretty fair price against Tyler McGill of
the Mets.

Speaker 3 (02:29:38):
Yeah, I would.

Speaker 15 (02:29:41):
He's been solid. I mean I have the I have
the better of it in every aspect of that game.

Speaker 3 (02:29:45):
Yeah, yeah, now I'm with you there. I like, Uh.
I like Texas today with he's been terrific.

Speaker 15 (02:29:53):
It's funny with that Texas team, Anthony. If they can
get Jacob to grom back, I definitely lean Texas for sure.
Who is a picture I don't know a ton about
for Seattle? Uh and and and he's been pitching very
very well in Texas. Then lineup is just deadly. Seattle
has a tremendous pitching stay four elite starters. This isn't

(02:30:14):
one of the elite starters, but they just can't score runs. Uh, Texas,
They've gotten great pitching. You've always been terrific. Haney's been
really as good as of late. Dan Dunnings even pitch
well for them. I like, yeah, Texas is the only
way I could look in that game.

Speaker 3 (02:30:27):
Yeah, and then real quick. And the other one I
like is uh Kansas City because I think the Royals
will hate Comber all day. There are a lot of
is not that. Like I told you before, certain profiles
and I hit you with the Salvador Perez. I'm gonna
hit you again with Salvador Perez. He profiles against Gombre

(02:30:49):
from Colorado.

Speaker 15 (02:30:51):
Yeah, Gombres just looked. There's nothing, you know, Gomber is
one of the worst starters, you know, I think in
all of menalb that's the game anything again, I just
would have been it's it's you could lay about a
dollar forty to forty five with Kansasity just which it
was a little bit lower for me to dip my
foot into a deep end on that one. But I look,
I look, I think can't say she definitely score the runs.

(02:31:12):
Maybe would have more interest in taking Kansaity team total
maybe over four and a half five runs, as opposed
to just trusting Daniel Lynch too. You know, to get
it done.

Speaker 3 (02:31:20):
Do you do you go into the tournament any antaa
tournament stuff for you?

Speaker 15 (02:31:26):
No, No, it's not. Again not my area of expertise, Anthony. Uh,
I'll enjoy watching it. I'll enjoy watching it, but I
really don't handicap it. And again I I do this
to make money. I don't do it to just you know,
have fun. I do it if I think I have
an edge on something.

Speaker 3 (02:31:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't know. Well, listen your
true sportsman, so you know you never know what you're expert.
Were your expert? I thought your expertise was limitless.

Speaker 15 (02:31:52):
Yeah, no, I got I don't you know, don't don't
know that quite enough.

Speaker 3 (02:31:57):
Yeah, I'm so to me take heads one of pink quakers.
What's take pen? They're on a mission?

Speaker 15 (02:32:06):
All right. I I listen anytime you give me a suggestion.

Speaker 3 (02:32:10):
I beat Auburn last night. It's a good squad, all right, man,
I like it.

Speaker 15 (02:32:17):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (02:32:18):
Big Brain, you're the greatest buddy we.

Speaker 15 (02:32:20):
Appreciate out there. Thank you, buddy, good lucky one.

Speaker 3 (02:32:23):
Thanks pal. Here he is the Big Brain on brad
Our Betting Analyst. We'll come back and we'll wrap it up,
coming up next with the Fellas right here on Fox
Sports Radio. Oh all right, good morning. What did you

(02:32:45):
say my ear or did you say it all over?
I said it to your ear? The Big e what
a song.

Speaker 5 (02:32:57):
Let it go mighty.

Speaker 3 (02:33:00):
And Moddy Mark Mondy, Mark's the man. That's your that's
your jam Euh every morning. There you go, buddy, there
you go. Hope everybody's having a great morning. Felas And
we're brought to you by this discover that's right and

(02:33:23):
uh hanging out from the tyraq dot com studios. Uh
this curious, boys, what did you learn about the fan bases?
Like we we spent the bulk of the morning talking
about these fan bases that have suffered. What were the ones?
The one and my man was from Sacktown and Charlotte,

(02:33:46):
Like you forget about the NBA outposts until you talk
to the true fans on the front lines.

Speaker 5 (02:33:55):
Yeah, I felt for this Sacramento dude. He had he
had a good point about, you know, the Kings and
the history there still not bought with the Hornets. The Hornets,
you know, maybe it's just me and my lifetime, like
me living well. But again, part of the I get it.
I get when you're so bad right like they're they're

(02:34:21):
a wretched team.

Speaker 3 (02:34:24):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:34:25):
Just and then and then I also felt a little
bit for you know, the Vikings, you know, even though
I don't like them, you know, it's still you gotta
feel for them a little bit.

Speaker 3 (02:34:37):
No, even we had we had a packer guy, a
Green Bay guy right who was so who had to
admit that he felt bad for him. That's their bitter rival,
and he actually felt bad for there was the pity thing.

Speaker 6 (02:34:56):
I thought it was interesting how just a little spark
or memory can't bring out so much emotion about something
that it makes people remember things. Oh yeah, like the
one guy because his high school, it was his high
school team was an Eagle, so he's an Eagle fan basically.

Speaker 3 (02:35:15):
Yea our buddy from Seattle or from Spokane. Yeah, yeah, no, no.
And it's funny because I'm expecting him to talk talk
Seahawks with me and he goes, I'm an Eagle fan
because that was their high school. But I'll tell you,

(02:35:35):
it's almost worse when your team has no chance to win.
Like we talked about being tantalizingly close like Buffalo and Minnesota.
At least there's a sense of relevancy, right right. At
least you've had you've been relevant. But if you're if

(02:35:58):
you're one of these franchises, that absolutely stinks, like stang Stag.
That's a hard way to go about it. You got it.

Speaker 7 (02:36:12):
It's like so many miles away, like trying to find Mars.

Speaker 19 (02:36:16):
Exactly. Oh my god, what a day? Tell me about
just starting? What's that the day day? What do you
got played?

Speaker 5 (02:36:34):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:36:34):
You know I'm gonna play around of golf, are you? Yeah?
Why not? He's dude, good for you.

Speaker 5 (02:36:40):
Yeah, you you're gonna go watch.

Speaker 3 (02:36:42):
Uh, I got my boy, he's already. Uh. He singled
in the run and he but he and he hit
a rock at the center. Caught, They got caught. How
about you, Muddy Mark.

Speaker 7 (02:36:57):
I'll be up for a little while. Then I'm gonna
go back to sleep to go to work again.

Speaker 3 (02:37:03):
I hear you, buddy, I hear you. Well, I'm gonna
go watch a little youth baseball, a little tenu baseball,
because it's the first of many games for me over
the weekend. Guys, We love you, guys man have a
great week, all right, and then we'll see you next week.
Fellas are out
