you've got to come stay with me.

Speaker 2 (02:33):

does that work?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:39):
It works.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
I think I'm the highest.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Team because you weren't hosting right. What did you say
you guys weren't hosting right?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
No, we were not hosted.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oklahoma and Arizona.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Baby, that's that's it.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
We still got we got to beat North Carolina one
more time.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
We've got the easiest road to the Super Regions we've
ever you have ever seen in We didn't even have
to play Oregon. But anyway, what.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Did you Okay, real quick, because I've never had a
tweet get more reaction.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, then I.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Outside of the when I put up the Bengals odds
whenever they were talking about the Bengals moving and Oklahoma
City was on that list, and everyone just lost their
mind cussing and yelling at me.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
It was hilarious.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
But I sit that tweet up of the Oregon guy
running into the catcher? Did you see that playing?

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yes? I did.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Can you believe they tossed him out of the game
for that?

Speaker 3 (03:30):
I was dumbfound and I thought it was a rule
that they had to toss him out and that's why
they did. I I had no idea it was. I
couldn't believe they didn't call obstruction. It was it was
just I didn't crazy, right. I thought maybe I didn't
understand what the hell was going on, because you know,
I'm trying to read it and I didn't hear the sound,
and I'm like, I must not understand something because I
don't know how the hell this is going.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Is anyone getting mad at us for starting with college
I need something positive for Arni, guys, So we got
to start with college baseball because Arizona is still alive.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
I want you, if you want you to know something
I have. I have nothing left to root for now.
So it gets to Arizona football. And you know what,
I saw an early ranking of air Big twelve football.
They have Arizona fifteenth out of sixteenth.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Okay, Arnie, listen, I don't even have that to go
for me, you know, I know that you don't. All
I have is my Dolphins, and I know this is
gonna be their year. This their year, They're gonna win it.
All's gonna I know you don't listen to my Friday
night show. I know you don't. I know you don't
stay up till two am and listen till till five am.
But I threw myself basically at the mercy of the

(04:37):
haters because I know what's gonna be the narrative I
can't fight back against. I know it's gonna be Nobody
cares because it's Oklahoma City. Are the Sooners? I get it.
But I'm telling you right now, if you can push
aside your big market bias, yeah, and just be a
basketball fan, yeah, I think you're gonna have a blast
in this series.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
I am a big basketball fan. I still play basketball,
I know, and I can't do it. Is it over yet?
Is the series over?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
It hasn't even started yet.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Oh, come on, already, it's still going on. I hate that, geez.
It's ridiculous, but as a truth in it again, by
the way, Oklahoma City in Indiana, as a true basketball guy,
like I consider you a true basketball guy I am today.

(05:26):
And you know what, though, I'll ask you this, Ah,
give me a big storyline, Give me an enemy, give
me a reason to hate one of the guys one
of the teams. Give me, you know, give me, give
me a former player that used to be the other
Reggie Miller, I hate, that's for sure. But I mean
give me, give me something to dig my teeth into.

(05:48):
You can't give me anything. You can't you can't do anything.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
By the way, officially a final now Texas has been eliminated.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah by U s A.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
That's Texas, San Antonio baby wow wow.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
So you know, to me, you have no storylines for me.
So I just like, I can't get wait. You just
enjoy the basketball.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Right, I mean what what what storylines would you have?

Speaker 3 (06:10):
If? No, you can't just enjoy the basketball because nobody
enjoys the basketball that they played nowadays. So, by the way,
I don't know how Oklahoma City has such a great record.
I mean, you have like a couple of good guys,
that's it, and.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
They play they play defense. I don't know how they've
made it. What a perfect storm this year. Did you
see Rick Patino's tweet this week?

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Who's gonna get more higher ratings? The NBA Finals are
our show on Sunday nights?

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Probably our show on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
That's exactly what I'm thinking, exactly what I'm thinking.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
I can't fight with you guys. I'm not gonna fight
with you guys. I'm gonna I'm gonna enjoy it. I'm
gonna watch it.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
I think it's what else are you gonna do out
there while you're waiting for the sooners?

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Did you see the tweet that Rick Patino sent out? No,
he said, and I repeat, he never ever had shown
his guys NBA videos until the Thunder started playing to
teach them how to play defense. Now, as a diehard
basketball guy, yeah, you would think, Hey, that's what I'm into.

(07:20):
But no, here's a tweet in its entirety. It's interesting.
In my forty plus years, I've never shown clips to
my teams of NBA defense, offensive sets and individual moves,
but never defense. Until this past season, we watched the
Thunder at least three times a week. They're switching loading
up to help and rotations are awesome and they're all

(07:42):
still so young. Defense, aren't he defense? Let's go that.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
There's your pool, mister basketball purist. Well he got a defense.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
You know, I always did like Hartenstein, So I can't go,
you know, kind of a New York nick.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
So what if I did not put together the other
the Roman numeral rundown? Obviously you do by a.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Lot of comments on that today. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Oh did you tweet out again?

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah? I did?

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Oh you know what, I'm very far behind because I'm
still on a softball hot.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Oh we got it. We got a lot. Okay, okay,
is what my team loses for some reason? Do we
get a million tweets and a half?

Speaker 4 (08:21):
So we've got fourteen? Am I understanding Roman numerals?

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Right? And what you tweet? Fourteen? Yeah? Fourteen romans? I
did I go have some out? What about fourteen? Fifteen
Roman numerals today?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
You left those?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
You left the ones out that you're just gonna hit
me with like a chair for no reason.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's like, hey, do you hear about this?

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Look exactly?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Can you google it? Can you find it?

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Pretty much?

Speaker 4 (08:42):
What if I gave you a Roman numeral fifteen, and
you said you need storylines. You don't feel like there's
storylines here. What if I gave you something and you
can reject them like the Late Great to Kimba Matambo
late Live, dead dead, the Late Great to Kimbay Matambo,
or you can say, hey, I'm with that, that's a
storyline that makes an.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Interesting Tell me a great story from one of these
two teams played in the eighties and they went into
the crowd and had a big fist fight or something.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
To tell me to be air nothing like them all
ears nothing. But why are they to battle each other
in the nineties? Why does it need to be a
historical perspective angle for you?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
I thought that's what you're gonna tell me. My bad,
I'm sorry I did. I thought maybe you're gonna give
me something.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
I don't have anything on that front.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
I have no history with okaysee in Indiana, Hell, I
wouldn't have any history with Indiana and Seattle, Arnie. I
have nothing for you here, But I'm just saying I
have storylines that I think you would find compelling. Okay,
if you can get past your big market bias, which
I don't know, if you.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
I don't think I can. I don't know if I can.
It should be the New York Knicks. By the way,
you know that, don't you. I mean, because Halliburton traveled
before he got that shot off, the Nick should have
won Game one, oh, saying game one. Yes, those series
is different out there. I want to talk to the commissioner.
He owes me that. Why was there no protests? Why
did we just reverse that and give the win to

(09:59):
the I don't understand what that was going on here.
I don't even who's running this joint.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
They should go back and replay it because you guys
kept it so tight in that Game six survival game.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Maybe we get it done before they start the series
and maybe we continue best Ton.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Wouldn't that be hilarious if all of a sudden, Adam
Silver says, you know what, I got a problem. I
saw on Twitter there was a double dribble that you
guys didn't call in the game winning shot. So we're
gonna go back and replay game one and start this
whole thing over.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
The refs are the worst.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
You know what I was.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
I had a basketball game today and I even told
our refs, you guys are the worst. Man, you guys
don't know how to do your job.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
From pee wee all the way up.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
You must have a union where you guys agree to
all suck because that's what you guys do. Oh yeah,
I let them have it.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
An NBA union, Hold on, I'm here for this. An
NBA referees union where when they get together in the meetings,
they all look around and say, you're gonna suck more today.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
You got me what I got.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
You gotta understand the n BE head not a game.
It's a show. It's a thing. You know. They tell
you how to car Just pipe down, pipe down, Give
me a headache? Go man?

Speaker 4 (11:04):
So I noticed and Roman numeral one yeah, subheading number three.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
The question is asked for the Knicks who lost to
the Pacers last night in Game six.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Ye, who needs to go?

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Aren't you need? So?

Speaker 2 (11:17):
You want heads to roll from the Knicks not moving on?

Speaker 3 (11:20):
If you would have asked me yesterday, we probably would
have replaced everybody with Brunson. I was really anti Towns.
Really got me upset because if I played better defense
than you, then that's that's a big problem, you know
what I mean, especially because he was a minus seventeen yesterday,
but nobody's gonna go. Nobody should go. I'm okay with
Bridges and Anobi Towns, love Mitchell Robinson, loved Brunson, love love,

(11:44):
love Josh Hart, and you need somebody like him during
the regular season. I'm definitely okay with McBride. I don't
know what you do with Shaban. I kind of like him,
but you need somebody else that can come in and
make a difference. Another you know, six or seven guy
that can eat up some some minutes because they were

(12:04):
ward thin this this whole series.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
It really seemed, Arnie that a lot of people from
just my very in depth Twitter search, seem to want
Karl Anthony Town's to go after one season.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, no, no, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
I'm not I'm not gonna do that.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
But but does he commit more stupid fouls than anybody
on the planet? Seriously? And then he has that stupid
look at him like, oh, what did I do? Well?
You grab somebody and you threw him to the ground
like a wrestling move or something. And then he looks
around like, oh, you just picked up four fouls in
like three minutes. What's wrong with you? Once you get

(12:43):
in the foul trouble. Back off a little bit, let
somebody get the lamp and get yourself out of the game.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Typically did a bad job with the substitutions.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
I've got pre I got Big Story five is Regiment.
You've got two Big Story five's on here, So I.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Missed, I miss labeled. How about that?

Speaker 4 (12:58):
That's okay, I know you. Big Story four, Regie Miller.
Big Story five is the Celtics. So that we're just
getting started tonight.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
I got fifteen Roman numerals. How about that? That's right,
you actually do.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
But let me let me just ask this question then
before we try to move on from this heartbreak that
you're feeling right now. So who do you say won
the trade from last October when the Knick Scott Karl,
Anthony Towns and y'all traded Julius Randall and Dante deeven Chinze.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Oh stop it, of course we did.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Stop think Okay, I'm just asking.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
I mean, you guys made it to Theastern Conference Finals,
which the de Wolves made it to the Western Conference Finals,
and that's two years in row? Is your Is the
trade better for you because you guys won one more
game and got eliminated in six?

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Oh? We were never gonna win with Julius Randall. I
like Dante, but he was just asking. He was just
another piece to the puzzle. It was okay that he
had to go. I'm I'm okay with that. We had
to get somebody like Towns. We needed him. He just
had a didn't have a great series. He was just.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Was a liability out there on defenses.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
What he was I was reading this. Let me read
this real quick from the Athletic. This is on Karl
Anthony Towns. Publicly, Knicks players made veiled comments all season
about poor communication causing their inconsistencies. Behind the scenes, they
and coaches expressed frustration with towns defensive habits, less concern
with his talent level, and more with the process on

(14:21):
that end. To Often, Towns executed incorrect coverages without communicating
why he did it, and it became a theme. Players
worried Towns didn't grasp the importance of the matter.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Ooh, it's not good, and argue with that.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
I can't, you know, and I know there's a puppy
a lot of New Yorkers. It's like, he's got to go,
He's got to go. You can't, you can't be without him,
unless you could have replaced them with somebody like a
Yiannis or something. But that's not gonna be enough. I
think you got to keep towns and working getting well.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
I mean, I don't know if you'll have a choice either,
because he's against a cap for fifty three mil next year,
fifty seven million in the twenty six to twenty seven season,
and then he has a player option for sixty one
million in the final year.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Of his deal. We're liking that, so yeah, forget.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
It, boy.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
You like seeing numbers like that to a guy that
is only really viable on one side of the court,
you love that.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Well, that's okay. We're gonna win the division from here
on out for years to come. Now that Boston's all
all banged up.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, when we come back, let's dive into that.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
We sat here big NBA start to the program tonight
after Arnie's Nicks are eliminated in six So hurt so much.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
But the thunder are moving on, baby.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
But let's talk about the Sooners. Yes, the Sooners. We'll
talk a little bit about Boston when we come back.
Plus Aaron Rodgers news Todd Furman coming up in our
number two Iowa. Sam is in It's a Big night
with Arnie and Plank right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
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 live. Maybe we should have ninety nine Roman numerals.
See what I did there, I was Sam Arnie. He
probably doesn't even know what this song is.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Hey, uh, I think I know what that is you.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Posting, and this was me urging you to do this,
but you posting the Roman numeral rundown Yeah is my
new favorite thing, and I'll get a lot of yeah yeahah.
And I think my favorite thing is how people will
just create their own numbers that they want. You like that, Bob,

(16:33):
Bob Wrights. I just want to hear you complain about
the Knicks for fifteen minutes. I think we got off
to a good start with that one, right.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
It's not that I'm complaining, like I said, it hurts
me more. I'm a bigger sports fan, so when my
team loses, it's year after year after year. I'm like, Oh,
Dolphins lose, Nicks lose, Mets lose, and you know, It's
all over again by Arizona wild Guds lose. You know, wait,

(17:00):
over and over.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
I didn't even realize this. Did you have the Uh
you did? You had the call it the plate. They're
in NCAA Baseball right.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
No you didn't. Never mind.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
I'm falling for every single person in the mentions right now,
the Oregon Utah Valley.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Do you sorry? I'm not fighting?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
I heard.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
I heard you're a big shot. Now why is that?

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh, you're gonna pretend you're gonna play stupid? Are you
talking about me losing my mind? When you beat Tennessee? Yeah,
I heard you were on sports Center? It was pretty big,
right see?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Are you hosting sports Center?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, I'm not that I'm too fat for that.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
But the thing that was interesting about it is I
I'm the play by play guy. I'm I'm a professional Arnie. Yeah,
I'm on Westwood One. I'm calling do you have it?

Speaker 5 (17:44):
You have it?

Speaker 4 (17:45):
I'll play it later, I'll play it later, I'll play
it for come on. But the thing, why is that
I sound like a college kid. You didn't mention my
name when they Oh I'm sorry, my bad, My bad.
I should have said way.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
That's all run like my part, there are already's bad.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Your said, that's what you gotta say.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
I looked wrong with you.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
I'll work that in next time. I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Do you want to yell about the Nicks Moore, but
you're saying it's not your your more heartbroken than mad?

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Right? Yeah, I did want people to go, but I'm
not gonna start getting rid of them. They need to
come back for another year, and like I said, with
Boston being pretty much done, they're gonna have a whole
new team.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
They're gonna trade everybody to get Cooper Flag.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
If they can.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
So, yeah, they're they're done, though there's sober for them.
I know you're selling this. I'm still not buying it. Yeah,
the article tonight, but I don't know.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
If they're real or not. Hear three quick tweets though,
don't need it to be real. Victor Wrights Arnie won two?
Three can coon?

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Where's that? Where's I didn't see that?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
That's from Victor.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Victor slides in his little shots every now, and he's smooth.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
He's smooth.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
Colin writes, Arnie, you gotta start with consoling you on
the Knicks loss. He doesn't want to coward Colin Resorrick,
I think okay, and tennis data writes the death of
your Nick's NBA championships, your Dolphins super Bowl Championship parlay.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Did you already did you have that?

Speaker 3 (19:02):
No?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
It was the Dolph, It was the Knicks with the
Arizona Wildcats.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Basketball, it was yeah, it was the Nick year. What
Prian No did to me? I don't want to. I
don't want to write them out.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Well, hold on here, that's hold that. This is checking
off another thing on the Roman numal checkmum number number nine. Okay,
number nine, Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
I I Arizona was eighty five to one to win
the baseball championship. So I texted him. I said, hey,
go get fifty bucks on it for me and I'll
venue the money Venmo the monmo. Yeah, and you know
what he writes, Bakers, don't waste your fifty.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Dollars, Bratt bastard.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
And now they're gonna go ahead and get buy and
head to the super Regionals or if they play Oklahoma,
that's a done deal.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
So they'll be going to the pretty much they'll they'll
and then.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
They'll be one of the final eight. So he's gonna
cost me four thousand and fifty dollars. Somebody's got to
be responsible for that.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
So where do you send that bill? I'm gonna send
it to Brian.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Okay, okay, hold on, stop stop stop. You can wager
on your phone. Yeah, but illegal gambling in Vermont Arnie,
I know, but I wanted to. He was in Vegas.
I figure, hey, go go to the casino and get
the eighty five to one for me. Buddy, smells like ball.
We're best friends and all, and they don't waste your money. Unbelievable.

(20:25):
And you know what, Jeff Schwartz writes back, Arizona's not
gonna win it anyway. And I go ahead, Sure, I
won't be Oregon this year, that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Why you got it. It's been a rough day for
Jeff Schwartz. Leave him alone, his basketball teams out, of
softball teams out.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
It's been right.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah, what was that you about? That bad you were
dropping on me? Iowa Sam about the Oregon softball team
or was that you? And and they were like undefeated in
games where the hit home runs?

Speaker 6 (20:46):
Yes, the Oregon softball team this year forty two and
oh when hitting a home run? Now forty two and
one because they had one against Sooners, but they lost.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, I don't know why everybody's losing their mind over
the UCLA game.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
Can we talk about it? Yeah, it's the stupidest thing
I've ever seen in my life. She was close enough
to the place, she was not close enough to the plate.
First of all, you always saw one angle on it.
You don't even really can't be sure she didn't touch
the plate. I'm one hundred percent sure she didn't touch
the play. Why did her teammate go grab her and
make her touch the plate? We spent we spent twenty

(21:21):
minutes reviewing a play only to have them come and
say that the play wasn't reviewable.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
That's okay. They wanted to break anyway.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
But he knew they wanted to stress me out getting
to the show tonight.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
That's what they wanted.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
She was close enough, Tennessee still won. Was the best
part of it. Yeah, she didn't matter in the end.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Dude, Ucla and Jin schroed her is big u c
La Terry Henry, all these former players, they might have
been the and I say this with peace and love,
they might have done some of the dumbest things I've
ever seen. They had a girl, Arnie still home when
the catcher threw it back to the pitcher. I mean that,
I mean literally the player broke from third while she
was throwing you back to the pitcher, and she still

(22:01):
stole home. On a they had a play that was
called an infield fly rule, okay, and the shortstop dropped it.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Well.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
The runner at second took off for third and thought
she was forced out at third, which she wasn't. And
instead of just walking home and touching home plate whenever,
they never tagged her.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
She walked into the dugout and was called out.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Oh gosh, and then they had on the game tying
home run. One of the best players in the game
miss home plate and then saved on a technicality.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Wow, how could you have that.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
Many things happened to you in the span of two
games and still be alive.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh wait, they're not. But yeah, she missed home plate.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
They reviewed it for a long time, and then after
breaking out rule books, they decided that, oh, it's not
reviewable that a player helped her back to touch the
plate and that was the only thing.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
So, and you're big star and you're on Sports Center,
how come they don't take clips from this show.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
And put it on Sports Center. I don't know, that's
you know what, good question. That's a question for Steve
to say. Who's ready with an update. Doesn't know the answer.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
He knows all, including what's going on in the sports.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
It just goes without saying is the answer to that question.
But the next question ESPN clip. But for those who
are aware, we talked about this on the show prior.
Just an astounding thing happening at the College Softball World Series.
The fact that UCLA, with two outs in the last
inning hits the tying homer. It goes to video review

(23:33):
should have been overturned, which means.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
It was close enough.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
That's how your season ends.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
By not touching.

Speaker 7 (23:41):
Home plate, not to run homer. This was the call
after thirteen minutes of review. The runner did miss home
plate and was assisted. However, that play is not reviewable
according to Appendix D.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
So there, I don't even believe that the umpire saw
her not touch the plate.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
So many girls around the night. Yeah, he doesn't know.

Speaker 7 (24:16):
He has not a clue, so didn't touch home and
was illegally assisted.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
And on the extra.

Speaker 7 (24:22):
Innings we go, ladies and gentlemen. Meanwhile, Arizona Wildcats. They
are already up eight to nothing in the third against Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
In other words, we got to beat North Carolina one way.

Speaker 7 (24:37):
Are you aware of people that we have Arnie's School
against Mark Willard's School right now? Yes, with Arizona ready
to eliminate them in the regional where Oregon is nowhere
to be found because they lost on Friday, had lost
on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
In the history of baseball, we have to beat count
Poly twice and something called Utah.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
And there's still Super Regionals next weekend best to three.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
But in the base Oklahoma they win maybe the baseball Originals.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Earlier number one seed Vandersville Football School.

Speaker 7 (25:10):
Bandy eliminated at home. Number two Texas eliminated at home.
Women's College World Series UCLA did eventually lose an extra
adding so it'll be Tennessee against Texas next in the
SEMIS and tomorrow night Texas Tech against Oklahoma, which eliminated
Oregon four to one in Oklahoma City. The Sunday night
ballgame at Dodger Stadium went to the Yankee seven to

(25:31):
three over LA. The update on Dodger shortstop Mookie Bets
is that he was out all weekend. With a broken
toe after a home accident. He expects to return this
week against the Mets. LA starts a four game series
against the first place Mets tomorrow night. He did some
swing in today, who didn't play in the game is
still listed a day today. He's not starting at shortstop Monday,

(25:55):
but will be reevaluated on Tuesday. The Mets are alone
in first because they got to play the Rockies all
weekend beat him again today five to three. Meanwhile, the
phillieshdn't even count as will win because we do. I agree,
I agree, it's getting to that point. Colorado's lost eight
in a row, has a record of nine and fifty,
the fastest to fifty losses since eighteen eighty four. Meanwhile,

(26:19):
the Phillies have lost four in a row, so they
fall to second place game behind the Mets.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
In the NLES. Milwaukee beat Philly five two. Brewers have
won seventh straight. Toronto won its fifth in a row
and victories for Arizona, San Diego and Seattle.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
Cal Raley of the Seattle Mariners leads the major leagues
in home runs. He at is twenty third today to
won the final over Minnesota. NASCAR win at Nashville tonight
for Ryan Blaney. Scottie Scheffler took the Memorial by four strokes,
and in the WNBA New York seven and oh after
whipping Connecticut one hundred to fifty two Minnesota seven and

(26:53):
oh after winning at expansion Golden State eighty six seventy five.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Back to you, thanks Steve. Oh my gosh, you got
a fresh little r cool here.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Headline twenty twenty five NBA Finals Everything you need to
know ahead of the thunder Pacers Championship match.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
So we need to know who's in the finals. Please
tell us wait to die. Somebody somebody tweeted me that
you don't know who's playing the finals. Tell me you
know those sports without doing mean?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, sooner Lisa puts you in your place?

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Was it sooner Lisa?

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:21):
You don't mess with her now? Wow?

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Uh yeah, this is gonna be found. I don't I
there's a couple concerns.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
I have for the NBA Finals outside of Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
No, it's just for us in Oklahoma.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
That's what I figured.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
You guys will have to go to the movie theater
and watch it on pay per view in order to
see the game. That's the only it is not gonna
rate well, but I don't care. We don't care. It's
gonna be a fun series.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Is it gonna be live or take the lay? Take
the lay?

Speaker 4 (27:49):
After the uh, the late night they'll have the late
night news and then they'll have Jimmy fallon and then
they'll air it for.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
You so you can watch it then. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Uh wait, did you not go to the Mallard militia
event here this weekend?

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Didn't they have a meetup in Vancouver?

Speaker 3 (28:04):
I heard where were you?

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Isn't that close to you?

Speaker 3 (28:08):
That's not close to me.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
It's closer to you than it is to me. How
far is how far is are you from?

Speaker 3 (28:16):
What's that Vancouver? Oh? You got some info? Iowa, Sam, go.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
Ahead, Okay, So you would be closer to Vancouver Chris
in Oklahoma, because Vancouver.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Is all the way on the west Western That's right,
it's in British.

Speaker 6 (28:28):
Collect everything geography at geography. So so mister mister Spaniard
would have to fly all the way from Vermont, all
the way across the continent Toronto, is what aren' He's closer, yes,
and in Montreal close.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
He's still trying to figure out what's outside of Oklahoma?

Speaker 2 (28:46):
I barely know. Instead of Iowa, Sam, he's now Canada.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Sam, Canada Sam.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
No.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Why Vancouver.

Speaker 6 (28:52):
I think it's because it's it's closer for the Malor
crew to get there, because it's it's pretty much due
north from here.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
I don't know why invite me? Is there? I know
why they didn't invite you?

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Is I mean? Is there's a big following in Vancouver
for the.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
A Canadian listener, big fan of the Ben Maler show.
From what I heard, Hayrold expensed all this stuff, what
bankrolled all of this tickets? Hotel, brought the crew out.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
So much, you would have brought us out.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Maybe Arnie Lorena.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
They all got invited Ben, and it was all in
the dime.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
And I don't this is only from me.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
It was all in the dime of this one Ben
Mallard list is p one Mallard militia member, so very
generous to bring all those people up.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
I've been doing radio one hundred years, I never got nothing.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Well, that's because you do things like trying to get
everyone to do the things that you open your mouth.
But my dad always had the same alligator mouth overloads
your Mickey Mouse backside. I mean, didn't you have Ben
Mallard washing cars because you said that you were heah,
that was.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
A long time ago, though he got over that.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
I mean, sometimes bygones can't be bygones, aren't he Sometimes?
You know, there's grudges that are held for a really
long time. Maybe that's why anyway, Vancouver that's the place. Well,
I only asked because off of the tweets to the
show to nine, which is the best excess submissions, whichever
way you want to go about it. Our man late
night drug tester Rights just had a meet and greet

(30:21):
in Vancouver. Win and where is the Spaniard Symposium.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
That's a good point. We should we need to have
that on the East coast. But you you don't leave Oklahoma,
so you know, maybe we should do the show together
when Arizona plays Oklahoma. We should do this show. And
Tucson you can too.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Well, it's gonna be in Norman. You can come here
in Tucson and you can do it live from my garage.
I've even got a second Mi cooked up. I got
cameras here. Now we might get some.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Critics if you stay in a resort in Tucson.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
We had a snake that got in my garage yesterday.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
You love it, man, don't.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
There's a couch here where you can sleep and stay
whenever you come and be great.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
What are we gonna do go to the the BUCkies
too and have fun?

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Or what?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
We're not a BUCkies where love's travel stops? My bad,
I'm sorry, I'm saying, what are you doing here? Are
you doing?

Speaker 3 (31:08):
My bad? My bad? All right?

Speaker 4 (31:10):
To this Boston thing that you keep sending me and
you keep so are you thinking is it your opinion
that Boston's gonna blow it up?

Speaker 3 (31:17):
It's not like which do you think it's definitely going
to happen? First of all, there's new owners. You're promising it, Yes,
I'm promising it. There's new owners that that's already a
guarantee breaking. They're so far over the cap and penalty
that they're gonna have to make a move. They're gonna
have to get a deal for apply for like a
hardship for Tatum because he's supposed to get like fifty

(31:41):
four million dollars or something, and saying like that, so
they'll probably get some of that back. They're looking to
trade Derek White Jalen Brown porzingis.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
I haven't seen Browns mentioned too much, but it does
in whatever basketnews dot com is.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Did you fall for another fake account?

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Did I send you a story?

Speaker 4 (32:03):
Did I say, send me a story from something called
basketnews dot com?

Speaker 3 (32:07):
There you go. So, I mean it's got to be true.
It's got to be true, this says.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, the Celtics could face up
to five hundred million dollars and combine payroll and luxury
tax pan.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Wow, excuse me, luxury.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
Tax penalties with eleven players currently under contract for next season.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
I mean a lot of people do that.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Brian Robb said the Celtics may apply for a disabled
player exception in addition to potential trades. This wouldn't provide
cap relaf, but it could give the team some added
flexibility to sign and trade for a key player. Well,
if they was sign and trade for a key player,
that's not really tearing it down.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
They're not. They're not going to do that because there's
no reason to be. But they're going to be. They're
gonna win squad next year. I really look, they want
to do everything they can. They get Cooper flag Unfortunately.
I just don't think Dallas is going to give him up.
But they'll give They'll be willing to give up White
and Brown and Porzingis and five or six draft picks

(33:05):
if they have to.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
They they'll do whatever they have to. Go ahead and
get Cooper Flag.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Why do you feel like this, listen, aren't he said,
because he's a white guy? I mean, is that why
you've been pushing this for like three Then? He seems
to be a perfect fit in Boston. Yes, he is.
It's like every single shows like I'm here Cooper Flagg
to Boston. It's like you saw one story on it
and all of a sudden, you've got the Mavericks trading
out of the top.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Let me ask you a question, Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Did Cooper Flag sit down and have an interview with
the New York Knicks or the Lakers?

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I have no idea who he's talking. The answer is no.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Did he have an interview with any NBA team? The
answer to that is yes. He had an interview with
the Boston Celtics. They sat down and they wanted to
talk to him. He was a Celtic fan growing up.
He's from Maine. He's got family out here. He would
love more than nothing more than to be a member
of the Boston Celtics, and they love to have him,

(34:00):
especially with the new owners, because they don't want to
pay Jalen Brown and Tatum and they're both making too
much money.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
So you think, because Cooper Flag's a lifelong Celtics fan,
that the Mavericks are just going to trade the top
pick to Boston.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
And I would think the Mavericks would take a look
at it as they want to win sooner than later,
and I don't know if Cooper Flag is going to
help him win immediately. Did you hear how much Cooper
Flag was making in nil money? That story that came out?
What it said? You want to take a guess what
he made?

Speaker 4 (34:34):
I bet it's wrong. Whatever it is, Go ahead, Why
do you say? I bet it's because every here here's
here's my rule, guys. Yeah, yeah, every story you see
about nil whatever the number that's reported, cut it in half.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Good. Oh wow, wow?

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Okay, Well, if it says anything more than seven million,
it's crazy talk.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Twenty eight million.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, that's not true. There's no way that's.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
What it said. Twenty eight million dollars. I go Wow,
I might not have come out of it. If you're
gonna tell me I was gonna make twenty eight million dollars.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Making twenty eight million dollars.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
So you say cut an Avenue was fourteen?

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Yeah, okay, that one you can cut in a fourth. Listen,
the Mavericks have a top pick. They're not going to
trade it. If he sat down with Boston, it's because
he's a Boston fan.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Come on, I mean, he Higgins makes twenty eight million
a year, so that puts him right on exactly.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
We come back straight to your tweets. Next, it's Arni
in Plank right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Areny in Plank Comedy live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
I mean, outside of the Knicks, how was your week?
Good week?

Speaker 3 (35:44):
It's not. I was so stressed. I knew when they
were down three to one it was gonna end disastrous. No,
I no, I didn't have it.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
That's not the way you were talking last week. I
knew the show last week.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
When when they stole game one, man, that was the killer.
I tried to be positive, but I you can't overcome
something like that and that crap. It's goes straight up
and it goes and of course it does, only because
it was my team. What kind of shot goes straight
up and goes in Kawhi Leonard shot? That was the
only one I remember, oh man, and oh well there's

(36:20):
another one, the Tyrese Haliburton shot against your Nicks in
game one. There was that one, and then me triple
dribble all over the place because they're not gonna call
crap anyway.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Whereas where is the Roman numeral rundown?

Speaker 4 (36:30):
Speaking of that, there was one more that I felt
like we needed to get to here before.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Our one next marks the spot.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
Thank you very very much for that, Iowa Sam Roman
numeral five.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Yeah, Reggie Miller, Oh, he's insufferable, you know at.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
At Big ten or Pac twelve gur or whatever. That
honk is bugging you back. Why did we just guts
to go off on what?

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Rick Smith's wasn't available, so you had to get Reggie Miller.
I don't understand why it had to be Jalen Rose.
You couldn't find any New York Knicks player, right, they
were all in visible. They were nowhere to be found.
They worn't it the game. You couldn't find any of
them to go on the broadcast, right, They're no room
for addy former New York Knick players out there.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Well there is, but they're all partying.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
I mean every single time they show you know, I
get John starks on, they get a good Toulson on there,
that's what you need. But every time they show him,
they're like courtside having a blast.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Yeah. I would have sucked having Patrick ewing on or
John Stark's or anybody, just anybody for that matter. I'd
rather hear from Ben Still or give me somebody.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
Why do you have, Jalen? They just I don't know what.
I can't read your writing here because this is the under.
These are the numbers under Reggie Miller as a topic
on the show tonight. One does that say insufferable?

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Okay? Number two black suit? Yeah you saw what he did,
didn't And now I must have missed that he.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Wore a black suit for the game, saying it was
a funeral. He's going to a funeral.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Number three Jalen Rose.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Yeah, again, every former pacer to be on the broadcast.
Like I said, I don't need Rick Smith's I just
don't need everybody out there to go ahead and and
do it. You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (38:11):
And no the number four? Yeah, former New York player. Okay,
now it all makes sense. See if I just prepare
and read this romanum Runde, if you.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Know how to read, you know it wouldn't be a well.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
Obviously I don't know geography, but I know I usually
can read pretty much.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
You you're gonna drive up to Vancouver, Canada.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Everything is just right there by you. I mean I
just kind of figured Canada's right there. I didn't realize Vancouver
was all the way over there. I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
It's Canada, for goodness sakes. Now, it's all. It's all
the same as Canada. Man, it's normal.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Ouch.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
So are you then telling me you're not a fan
of the job he did analyzing the on the broadcast.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Zero, I would have done a better job. They should
have just called me.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
He just he was a tough listen to. And then
I like what he goes here, here come the Knicks back. Yeah,
they're down twenty with two thirty eight left. You knw
go ahead, where are they coming back to? I'm sorry,
bothered the hell out of me? He really did? I
I usually I don't get bothered by the announcers. He
would just make it just sucked.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Can I maybe give not necessarily a hot take, but
just an opinion. Yeah, I don't think he should be
on the broadcast. I don't think he should. I think
that we're in an era where it's that TNT is
not the Indiana Pacers Television Network, right, I am on
the Sooner Radio Network.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Right.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
I am gainfully employed by the greatest athletic director in
the world.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
In joke as tickling, I'm a the luckiest man on
the planet. Yes, so I can lose my mind.

Speaker 4 (39:40):
And say what I want whenever it's in, you know,
favor of the Sooners. Reggie Miller is employed by TNT
to call a game, and I get it. He had
a great moment in the history of Pacers and he's
one of the greatest pacers of all.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
Dear TNT isn't doing the NBA anymore.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Well, we'll got to get to that.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
But I mean, don't you I feel like there is
a certain line somewhere where it's like, hey, dude, you
got a job to do. I don't need you constantly
taking shots to the knicks or telling us about I
mean there was no there was no analyzing, there was
nothing from him.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Yeah, well no, I agree. Sorry dude.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
We'll get into it more next hour. It's a busy
night with Arnie and Plank. We're gonna talk to Todd
Freman coming up next on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Don't listening, No, Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Let's go thinking genius. There is one sad story tonight.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
And I wasn't aware of this. I didn't know that
this had taking place.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
Iowa was Sam the host of ESPN Sports Science And
was he a guest or did he do some shows
here on Fox Sports Radio Sam John Brinkers.

Speaker 6 (40:43):
Yeah, John Brincas, He did a handful of shows here
right around COVID with Hartman. Because I was I ran
the board for some of those shows. But yeah, Chris,
he Unfortunately, if you want to finish the story, is
bad news about John Brinkers.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Yeah, I passed away.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Yeah they I mean Sam told me during the break
he's only fifty four years old.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
I was listening to him when he was filling in
into network and he was telling us some and I
heard some great stories about you know, some of their
best episodes and stuff like that, and.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
Uh, just well, first of all, you were mad he
was taking a shift from you, how that same way?

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Yeah, that's that's terrible. Man, fifty four years old, That's
that's horrible.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
It is with profound sadness that we share the news
that John Brinkis has passed away. This was from his
Twitter feed. John co founder of Base Productions, founder of
Brinks TV, and co creator and hosts of the six
time Emmy Award winning Sports Science, had been battling depression.
John lost his fight with this terrible disease, this terrible illness,

(41:48):
excuse me, on May thirty first, twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
So this just like what late yesterday.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
Maybe his heart broken family and friends request privacy at
this time and encourage anyone who was struggling with depression
to seek out.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
It was released just literally as we started this program.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
So wow.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
But it's a great show, right. You learned a lot
about how freakish athletes are.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
The Brandon Jacobs one was my all time favorite. Remember him,
the running back for the Giants.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Something he got the link up.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
They ran right over so they did something on Dirk's
shot also, that was pretty fascinating.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Yeah, rip man, what a sad story.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
Yeah, John Brincis, anyway, you know, no real easy way
to transition or segue from it except to say that
we're keeping his family in our thoughts and prayers. Kind
of puts everything into perspective a little bit, But it
doesn't mean Arny feels any any better about.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
The Knick Skinny elimination. You know, I really did want
to watch the game with all the New York Nick
fans out on what seventh Avenue? The praise was packed.
It must have been like twenty five fifty thousand people.
It was just absolutely crazy. That's that's it seemed like
so much fun. But how how disappointing was it after
that loss? Man?

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Yet, what do you do when you lose in a
situation like that?

Speaker 3 (43:06):
I'm used to that, Huh. Seriously, I can't remember one
of the last time my teams won a big game.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
But here's here's my point with you. You're my guy, We've
been doing this show together.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
For a long time. I like you, We have a
good time together.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
But I do think sometimes you set your expectations and
your your talk leads you to a point where there
is nothing outside of winning a championship.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
That's going to bring you joy as a fan.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Why I can't wish for one championship in twelve years.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
In one sport.

Speaker 4 (43:33):
Well, again, you're sitting here saying that you had a
bad feeling about this, and last week you were promising
up us that the Knicks were going to come back
and win.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
Last week I had a better feeling.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
All of a sudden, Well how did you go from
right after? And by the way, the series at that time,
was it even three to two? Yet I think it
was still three to one? No, it was three to two. No,
it was three one. It was three to one.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
And you're like, I promise you, I guarantee you they're
going to come back and forth, and they did. They
won that that had a three to two and then
they lost game.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
But they didn't. And so now you come back a
week later and say I didn't have a good feeling.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
So I tweeted it out saying they're not winning this game.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
That's I mean, are you okay? Like do you need
something to kind of regular?

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Not okay, I'm havingcause sports nervous breakdown. You don't understand
you and the listeners don't understand.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
I'm root of all our teams win titles all the time.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
Do you know what's worse, what's harder than being a
New York Knicks fan where every won in fifty three years?
You tell me, the only thing I could think of
being worse is being a Cowboys fan. Right, that's the
only thing I could think of being worse than being
Knicks fan. Actually, maybe being a Dolphins fan. There you go,
I'm a Knicks and Dolphins fan. So I've got the

(44:45):
worst of the worst. Throwing my Arizona Wildcats who never wins.
That's a three time loser.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
But again, you sit there and you bark at us
about how great they are and how they're gonna win.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
So I don't I don't get it. I guess we're
gonna don't understand.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Did you think the Knicks We're gonna go fifty three
years without winning?

Speaker 4 (45:07):
I mean, I don't really think about the Knicks too much,
to be honest, They've been pretty irrelevant. Well, when you
guys get a basketball team, you'll see, well, we're playing
for a championship and probably Oklahoma City is gonna win it.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
You have to throw that in my face, didn't you.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
I mean, when you disrespect them by saying, are they
even the Sooners?

Speaker 2 (45:23):
There's anyone.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
No, I can't tell you.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
I can't win that fight.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
I told you I love the Oklahoma City Sooners.

Speaker 4 (45:28):
Right See, that's disrespectful and it's just your bitterness because
your team suck and Oklahoma City is now going to
the second finals appearance. Oh and they're very well positioned
for the future. I don't care what anybody says. Very
well positioned for the future for a long time.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Let's hope not.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
The road to the NBA Championship in the West is
going to go through Oklahoma City.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
For the next decade. Think about that. I mean, I
get it what we're gonna get. Another thing about how
great the Spurs are.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
I mean, I'm waiting. When we're waiting, it's it's not happening.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
The Lakers are gonna I mean, listen, we've got Lucas
skinny videos out already. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City, but they're playing basketball.
They've got the best home court environment in the NBA.
You can hate on them about the market. Everyone hated
on the Golden State Warriors before change.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
Still California, No go back, do a little giggling. Everyone's like, oh,
nobody cares about it because they were all about the Lakers.
They were all about the post Kobe era and what's gonna.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Happen in La No, everyone was.

Speaker 4 (46:33):
They were making fun of my I remember that, the
Colin Coward making fun of this all. Look at the
little Splash brothers trying to stop Lebron and they became
a ratings bah. And I think that's what's gonna happen
in OKAC. And you know what, I think, even though
they do still everyone shoots two many threes.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
I think, Arnie, it might actually get the league to
start trying.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
To play a little bit more defense, because that's what
OKAC does. They lock you up when they win the title.
Maybe that'll get your attention. Well, you acknowledge them when
they win a.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Title, Yes, I will certainly do a segment on that.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
All right, Well, we'll put away a segment to talk
about Okoloma City sooners when they win the title. There
you ca.

Speaker 4 (47:10):
I'll meanwhile, I'll be celebrating it while you'll be in
your sports depression. Gosh, that's gotta be terrible for you.
The first one to tell you I'm a bandwagon fan.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
I'm just about to say you're a bandwagon or you're
just jumping on the bandwagon.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
I jumped on the band actually jumped on the bandwagon
at the wrong time when they started tanking, because I
hated that previous era of the Thunder. It was pompous
and it was arrogant. I hated it. This team is fun, dude.
They're a fun team. If you get rid of your
big market bias and you sit down and you watch
the damn game, you would love them. They're the kind
of basketball.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
The best thing they've done so far, in my opinion,
is that commercial.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Which one, the one where they all dressed the same.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Yeah, it's pretty good, Chase to be diving. Being a
Dodger fan isn't exactly easy. Maybe you didn't understand me
when I said the Knicks haven't won in three years.
So when I say give me a team, though, that's
harder to root more than the Knicks, don't go back
to Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Who win a lot more than the New York Knicks. Okay,
thank you, well, thank you.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
Someone's trying to say the Dodgers they just won the
title last ye Yeah, exactly. You know there was a
run there where the A's would always win and then
they'd lose in the playoffs. That was pretty hard. The
seventy six ers are a pretty hard team to root
for right now.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Oh, right now. But they've had a good history.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
I think their history is very similar to yours. How
many titles have they won in the last forty years?

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Oh, they have to go back to like doctor j
and they have to go back to Dawkins and people
like them. Home alone, baby Malone.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
So you you you're sitting here, you're lamenting, like the
Knicks are the only team that has fallen short of
expectations and they're not.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
Seventy six ers are just as bad.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
You.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
This is a U problem.

Speaker 4 (48:57):
You just set up championship or bust. You gotta stop.
You gotta put it in perspective, and you let everyone
know how great your team is, even when you don't
believe it yourself, which I do is colitis.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
I believe me, I do. Within Arizona Football at Miami Football.
This year it's my football season, big boy, wait, I
am gonna have the best season in football ever ever.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Say.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
Arizona was picked in the preseason MiG twelve pole that
fifteen thought of sixteenth, but they picked Arizona State like
that last year too. That's right. I want to put
it on now.

Speaker 6 (49:28):
I want to clip Arnie saying that right now about
Arizona football and just we.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Don't believe it. H Two years ago, I said they
were going to be great prepared. Two years ago, I
said they were going to be great, and they almost
played in the playoff almost right almost where they end
up playing, didn't they go the alimable? Now where you
ended up is that when we kicked your butt? Yes
you did.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
Absolutely We get some of these tweets at Stinking Genius one.
I'm at Plank Show. Everyone should go follow us at
Fox Sports Radio. It is the best way to stay
in touch with Arnie and I Here on a Sunday night,
Mister nobody has been on fire. He writes, the gay
one collapse against the Pacers will haunt New York. Call
off season, New York. If New York wins Game one,

(50:14):
they're still playing now. As an aside, Ye, Arney's right,
You're right, Reggie Miller sucks and he's a Pacers honk.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
I'm right one hundred percent on everything I said there, Emmett.

Speaker 4 (50:27):
No way in hell the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks
make a trade with that number one pig. Nico Harrison
is not that dumb to mess something this big up
two times in a row, especially with how recent Beluca
trade went.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
Unless they don't think that Cooper flag is going to
be as great as everybody's making them out to be.
And plus they do have to win more sooner than
later in Dallas because of the trade they made. They
know Anthony Davis's lifeshelf is only for so long. I
would think that I think it's a maybe a ten
percent possibility.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Would you do it if I'm if I'm Dallas?

Speaker 4 (51:00):
Yeah, oh no way, okay, uh nature boy, maybe the
mix up. See this is hilarious because this is the
kind of deal you would you would basically lay out there,
Nature boy rites. Maybe the Knicks can swing a deal
to get Yannis for campaign. I forgot campaign was still
in the NBA until he came in and launched a
shot that hit off the top of the backboard.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
I don't want Jiannis anymore? Oh really? Why not over him?
Don't need him, don't need him, don't need him taking
up eddie shots, driving to the bucket all the time, and.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Yeah, how terrible that is to try to get an
easy shot.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Oh, listen to you. Yeah, I'm just breaking up facts.
My goodness, man, you don't.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Want a guy that can drive to the basket.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
That's not if I have to give up, I have
to give up Josh Hart. I'd have to give up
probably Mitchell Robinson, Arnie. It's Janis honest due he wouldn't
give up Josh Hart.

Speaker 4 (51:55):
Now he's wanted to keep. This shows you why Arnie's
constantly in pain. He'd rather keep Josh Harden, then go
get y Honest. I love Josh Harden, I do too,
but if I can get Yannis, I'm like Josh.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
Who did they win the championship this year? Did Giannis wanted?

Speaker 2 (52:09):
I didn't, but he won. He's one and more recently
than the Knicks apps.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Oh relax.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
So you're telling me right now that you don't want
Giannis in New York.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Depends how much I have to give up. But no,
I don't want him.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
That's so I want to see right now they trade
for him.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Tomorrow. You're gonna show up here weeks So I do
I have to get Well, they're not going to give
up because of the money they're making. But who do
I have to give out? And Nobi, I don't want
to give up him. I love that guy, you love him.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
But to get the honest, I don't think he made
the move, Uh, Colin wrack, But I don't know. I
don't even know if they're gonna trade you, honest. I
feel like that's a bunch of insider talk right now.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
You don't think anybody's gotta traded. Is not getting traded? Uh,
Dallas Is are gonna make the trade. Yet somehow there
was a big trade going on. So somebody's getting traded.

Speaker 4 (53:00):
Yeah, and nobody knew about it. It's not the one
that anybody was talking about.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
When you can't keeps it, Oh, they're not going to
make a big trade when we already had a big trade.

Speaker 4 (53:08):
My point is all the trades you usually hear about
never happen. The Luca trade came out of nowhere, and
you keep falling for fake account. Stop it, Colin writes
with sympathy to Arnie. As great as the NFL is
your favorite team, playing in a best of seven playoffs
series is the most exhilarating and excruciating sports anxiety there is.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
Yeah, Well, the one game thing is, you know, NZ
either way tournament, basketball or football. That's that's pretty tough.
Also that that really gets you, you know if especially
if you're gonna get upset in basketball.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
The end is so sudden when it's just single elimination.
Oh right in the end.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
I was thinking about you mentioned the NCAA Tournament in
the NFL postseason, Like you might feel good whenever your
team's going to the playoffs, and then when they get
beat in the first round, you're like, whoa, it's over the.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
I don't even get to go to the places.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
I don't even get to go to the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
Playoffs you went to do that? Yeah, we get to
go every once in a while.

Speaker 4 (54:06):
And then Josh writes the Paul George Finals, this will
be a great series to the people complaining about it. Absolutely,
it's gonna be fun. Paul George. The Paul George trade
is I mean the Thunders still have one more pick
I think from the Rockets and the Russell Westbrook trade.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
I think there's one more.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
Pick swaps and they still have another. That might be
it's they have one more pick swap coming in the
Paul George trade.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
That's what it is. Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 3 (54:30):
All right?

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Keep them coming? That's thinking genius one. I'm in playing show.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
Everybody go follow us at Fox Sports Radio when we
come back. The Man, the Myth, the Legend. Todd Ferm
joint to on Fox Sports Radio Scott a Vegas. Todd
Furman is in the house. What's going on, Todd? How
about our I know I'm getting crushed because no one
wants to see two small markets.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
I guess play for the title. I think it's gonna
be awesome.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
But what have you made of some of the numbers
and the odds coming out in the Lakers A Thunder
Pacers final?

Speaker 8 (55:02):
You know, Oklahoma City a worthy favorite when you look
at their full body of work. I mean, what this
team has been able to accomplish with a relatively young core,
albeit one with an MVP and shake gilges Alexander nothing
short of incredible. They appear to be finding their stride.
I think the biggest question isn't if they beat the
Indiana Pacers, it's how many games it takes them to
do it and will they finally be able to cover

(55:23):
a road playoff game for the second time this postseason?
But we'll figure out exactly what the Oklahoma City Thunder
are made of. But they are overwhelming favorites for a
good reason.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Ton.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
I think somebody put out a tweet on how much
has been wagered on the NBA Finals so far.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
It' said one hundred dollars? Is that is that true?

Speaker 8 (55:42):
Yeah, that's not going to be all that accurate. But
I will say when you have numbers this large, it's
not exactly the most attractive proposition for recreational betters trying
to navigate how they're going to back Game one with
OKC at nine to nine and a half point favorite,
a relatively large total all things being equal in that
two thirty and a half two thirty one range, and
of course Oklahoma City a massive favorite in that minus

(56:03):
six fifty minus seven dollars range. And to kind of
put things in historical context, you know, we don't see
these kind of numbers on the NBA Finals unless you're
talking about elite teams. Something reserved for the Bulls during
their dynasty, and of course the Golden State Warriors when
they won seventy plus.

Speaker 4 (56:18):
They're fun, they're fun. Do you, Todd, do you care
much at this one? I mean, are you looking at
the spread. Are you looking at totals? I know player
props aren't necessarily a thing. We've talked about a ton,
but where do you try to find an edge when
you when you have a matchup that appears to be
this kind of one sided right now, you know.

Speaker 8 (56:35):
Anywhere you possibly can. I think trying to figure out
game flow goes a long way and identifying player props,
whether it's some of the secondary options. For Oklahoma City,
they're going to have more success, but it's always a
feeling out process. And that's one area where I think
you can't discount the Pacers that much, knowing that you
do have a more experienced head coach that's won an
NBA championship in Rick Carlisle, going to do everything he
can to maximize the pieces he has in the roster.

(56:58):
I just don't think Indiana has enough depths to be
able to match Oklahoma City. And the big question though
that the thunder are going to have to answer will
their secondary scoring options be able to raise their level
of play, especially when they go out on the road.
Because SG will get his it's a question of who
else can fill up the cylinder and what this will
look like on a defensive standpoint. But I do think
it is interesting because it's almost a changing of the guard,

(57:20):
not just with unfamiliar franchise in the NBA Final, but
two teams that play relatively up tempo, something that we
haven't traditionally seen in the NBA Final, where we all
work under the mantra the defense wins championships.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Todd, I want to know, and I brought this up earlier.
I don't want to throw anybody under the bus, but
Brian no I asked him to bet me fifty bucks
in Arizona to win the championship in baseball. Now they're
going to go ahead and make the Super Regionals. He
told me, don't waste your money. They were eighty five
to one odds. There's got to be an unwritten rule

(57:55):
that he's got to pay me if they.

Speaker 8 (57:56):
Win, right, Yeah, I don't know if he's got to
pay you, but it will be interesting see how Arizona's
road to Omahall looks. I mean, there is the potential
that you two boys have a nice little side wage.
You're going into the Super Regionals. If Oklahoma is able
to pull off the modest upset in Chapel Hill against
it would be. You know, that's a great question, and

(58:17):
I'm not sure exactly how the bid process works, but
it would be fascinating to see how that unfolded, because
I think you do have to bid to host the regional,
and I won't claim to be nearly as knowledgeable enough
to know who has better facilities in that regard.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
So it's Arizona for sure.

Speaker 8 (58:30):
Arizona either way, boys, I think it would make for
a great theater and we can only hope that that
is the matchup. We get that it does go the
full duration, But you're right, Arizona took care of business.
They were dealt a very fortuitous hand not having to
play the overwhelming favorite of the region in Oregon. And
I'm still trying to figure out, even not being a
college baseball die hard, how exactly you call malicious contact

(58:53):
against Utah Valley in the first game for Oregon that
really changed the dynamic in that regional.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
That did that was crazy.

Speaker 4 (58:59):
Hey, do you are much on college baseball or is
it just more?

Speaker 8 (59:04):
Yeah, it's grown in popularity, especially this time of year.
It finds the kind of perfect saft spot on the
sports betting calendar. The hardest part is they're not exactly
a ton of household names, and the loveless familiarity with
some of these programs makes it rather challenging. I mean
the perfect illustration of it. And we have an upset
brewing in Baton Rouge right now. LSU goes into game
against Arkansas Little Rock as a seven and a half

(59:26):
run favorite in that particular spot. We'll see if Little
Rock and pull off what would be the biggest upset
that we've seen so far this tournament as a twelve
to one underdog. But you know, the casual fan doesn't
know right state starting pitching rotation or how to try
and navigate through the One thing I will tell folks
hopefully they had the foresight to see a launch pad
taking place in Oxford. It feels like every game in

(59:46):
that region has had about twenty runs scored and no
reason to believe that Murray State Old Miss won't be
able to live up to that advanced building. And the
winner take all tomorrow either.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
Dodd with Edmonton in the Stanley Cup Finals, you get
in some action on that or.

Speaker 8 (59:58):
What I do think this Only Cup final is going
to generate quite a bit of bus. I mean, you
have a rematch of last year, you have the star
power on one side, and Connor McDavid and Leon Dreisol
and of course the defending Cup champion. Now neither one
of these franchises hail from Marquee markets, but the NHL
has always operated in its own little niche from a
betting standpoint, and when you're looking at some of these numbers,

(01:00:19):
much easier for the recreational better to wrap his or
her head around seeing Edmonton and that minus a dollar
twenty to minus a dollar thirty range as far as
game one and actually being bet up into that one
twenty five to one thirty roll for a series favorite.
A little bit easier to get two way action there
than you will on the thunders Pacer series unless you're
looking to try and bet the handicap.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
All right, Todd, I got a football question. We've been
sitting around. We haven't talked about it tonight. It's on
Arnie's rowan numeral rundown. I don't know if you've caught this.
It's the trend that's taken over the sports world. But
what is going on at Pittsburgh with our quarterback? I mean,
are we just waiting until they get out of OTA's
and Aaron Rodgers is going to be the guy. Like,
I'm so confused and so perplexed. Haven't seen any movement

(01:00:59):
at all except for Aaron Rodgers doing interviews where he
talked about everything but.

Speaker 8 (01:01:03):
Football, yeah, and telling us places that he's not going
to play. So for all those New Orleans Saints fans
that were waiting with baited breath for Rodgers to come
in and kind of be the starting quarterback head of
Tyler Shuck and Spencer Ratler, apparently that's out. What is
interesting is the longer this saga drags on, you do
see the betting markets start to respond a little bit.
The Steelers actually opened a full field goal favorite for

(01:01:24):
their regular season opener on September seventh at the Jets,
the de facto Justin Field's Revenge game, and that number
has actually moved off the three at some books known
to take slightly larger bets and the recreational shops down
in that two and a half range. So odds Maker's
trying to figure out how they need to create a
balancing act because Aaron Rodgers, despite what we may think
of him and where he is with a declining skill
set at this point in his career, still a substantial

(01:01:46):
upgrade over Mason Rudolph. So if Rogers doesn't sign in Pittsburgh,
I expect the Jets to continue to take money. But
right now odds makers kind of operating under that seventy
five to twenty five thought process that Rogers will be
under center for the Steelers, we wont Do you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Know what the I was reading Twitter? Do you know
what the hot trendy bet is right now? It's kind
of outside the box. I'll tell you that I'm.

Speaker 8 (01:02:08):
Always afraid to ask what Twitter is telling us is
the trendy sports bets. I'll defer to you, Arnie, to
fill me in and make me a smarter man before
the segment's over.

Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
I'm being serious. I don't know how much you could
bet on something like this, but I guess there's a
group of people betting that Angel Reese will miss her
first shot of the game, and they've done this like
six games in a row or something like that.

Speaker 8 (01:02:29):
Yeah, I'm not sure you're going to be able to
move that much money, but you're probably talking to the
wrong guy. Knowing after trying to bet a live NASCAR
race and having a national book limit me to one
dollar and eighty seven cents that they're not going to
afford me the opportunity to be able to bet Angel
Reese to miss her first shot. So I'll have to
poke around a little bit on that, but I have
to feel a little bit more like a novelty prop
and one, you know, I'm not sure if it's available

(01:02:51):
at some of the regulated books that we're off shore there,
but we know Angel Reese is a rebounder first and foremost.
She's never going to confuse anybody with their shooting prous.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
Thank thought from me, Todd.

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
We got some kick times in college football, so primetime
for OU Michigan OU Texas is going to be a
three thirty eastern, two thirty central. Do kicktimes affect the
way you view a game in any way, shape or
form As far as the odds, the numbers may be
a more rocktous environment for the home team if it
is in primetime, maybe less if it's in the morning.
Does that do much for you as far as the
way you view a game from a numbers perspective, you.

Speaker 8 (01:03:24):
Do need to make slight adjustments. A lot of the
you know, more pre eminent home field advantages change a
game at noon or I should say eleven o'clock Central
and Baton Rouge is a heck of a lot different
than a kickoff in Death Valley under the lights, where
we know the scent of bourbon is wafting through Tiger
Stadium and you can get a contact high just by
being in that venue. And the same kind of thing

(01:03:45):
for teams that are playing in you know, on the
East Coast that are playing late kickoffs at night, you know,
with the acc with the dichotomy there with East meeting West.
When you're playing a kickoff that's your body clock says
is ten thirty eleven o'clock Eastern time out at cal
or Stanford or even the big and you do have
to make slight tweaks. You're not going to overhaul your
power ratings and say it's a full field goal, but
a half point around a key number, maybe a full

(01:04:06):
point in some situations, it does play a role, and
trying to quantify that, you know, honestly becomes a Pandora's
box because you don't want to overreact, but at the
same time, you don't want to underreact to how some
of these bodies and these college athletes, even as well
tuned as they are are going to perform a little
bit differently in adverse environments.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
By the way, Todd, I'm getting rich this year, so
come along with me. Did you see that the early
Big twelve odds at Arizona pick to finish fifteenth out
of sixteen in the Big Twelve? That's what fifty to
one or something like that, Todd. I'm going to be
loaded when this season's done.

Speaker 8 (01:04:41):
You know, I haven't seen numbers quite that high on
Arizona to win the Big Twelve, Arnie, But I'm sure
you can shop around a little bit and you never
know where some of those prices will drift. The one
thing that we have seen from the Big twelve a
lot more parody. But as I'm looking at it right now,
fifty to one kind of the going rate. So if
you have access to two hundred two to one one,
probably take advantage of that, because that's a number a

(01:05:03):
far cry from what the market is offering in a
league that seems to be the most congested without a
clear cut favorite the way things stand.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
Now in early June, fifty to one and they picked
the fifteenth out of sixteenth.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
I need more value than that, my friend.

Speaker 8 (01:05:16):
I mean look, Arnie, I mean your rivals in the
Territorial Cup. We're picked I believe fourteenth in the preseason
pull up. Yep, yeah, I saw what Arizona State was
able to do so left their neighbors to the south
in Tucson. You know about a ninety minute drive is
able to be able to get things done and take
coach Brennan off the hot seat, because I imagine they're
not going to be too thrilled if Arizona doesn't at

(01:05:36):
least go bowling in his second season.

Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
Just do me one favorite, Todd, I'll ask just one favorite.
When it's Arizona and Oklahoma in the baseball next weekend,
answer my calls. I am betting, the hall of the house,
the cars, everything goes on Arizona, my friend, let's go.

Speaker 8 (01:05:56):
I'll have to shop around a little bit. I'll see
what that opening number looks like and try and do
everything I can to share with you boys. But I
will say, for mister Plank, a busy day of both
college baseball and college softball tomorrow, a spot that they're
not used to for Oklahoma st yeah team, knowing they
don't have a safety net if they lose the first game,
against Texas Tech. It won't be on to the College

(01:06:17):
World Series of the softball writing.

Speaker 4 (01:06:18):
Man Nija Kennedy's pretty good should be fun. Todd, do
the man have a great week, buddy. We always appreciate you.

Speaker 8 (01:06:24):
Always a pleasure, gentlemen. You guys do the same.

Speaker 4 (01:06:26):
You can find Todd in the Twitter verse at Todd
Furman and of course the bet the Board podcast where
he gives you all of his picks and perspective. We
get all of the takes, scores and things we need
from Steve to Sega right now with what's trending, what's
going on?

Speaker 7 (01:06:40):
Steve, hello again, gentlemen, and Arnie bringing up the pain
of Nick's fans is certainly legitimate. They're on the list somewhere.
But the Detroit Lions have not won a title since
nineteen fifty seven, and they had a more crushing defeat
a couple of years ago in that game at the
forty nine ers where they were so far ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
Yeah, they were going to be making their first Super.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
Bowl, but they've stunk for a long time, though they
have vactations.

Speaker 7 (01:07:05):
Not that the Knicks have been great every year the
last fifty years. Also, the Cardinals in football nineteen forty
seven was their last title and they were the Chicago Cardinals.
But another team that immediately came to mind, Toronto Maple Leafs.
That's just one rusher after another.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
That is a killer. The game seven.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
Losses and I looked it up.

Speaker 7 (01:07:24):
The Cleveland Guardians have gone about seventy five years without
a title. But last night I mentioned on the show
when it happened, New York City became the first metro
area ever to have an NBA team and MLB team
each lose by fifteen or more on the same day.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
That happened last night with.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
The Knicks and the Yankees.

Speaker 7 (01:07:43):
Of course, the Yankees got a little revenge winning at
Dodger Stadium tonight in LA seven to three. DJ Lemayhew
with four hits. Seattle's Cal Rawley at his twenty third
homer in a two to one Mariners win over Minnesota.
Philadelphia lost at home. The Mets won at home. The
Mets are now eating the Fills by a game in
the NL East won nothing victories for both Detroit and Houston.

(01:08:05):
Toronto won its fifth straight to the WNBA New York
is seven and oh. They whip Connecticut one hundred to
fifty two, Connecticut is one and six, Phoenix is five
and two at one at LA eighty five eighty LA
Sparks two and six, and Kelsey Plumb, who's now a
Los Angeles was four of nineteen shooting from the floor.

Speaker 3 (01:08:24):
Tonight.

Speaker 7 (01:08:25):
Minnesota now seven and oh one at Expansion Golden State
eighty six seventy five, and Las Vegas won at Seattle
seventy five seventy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
The WNBA will be off on Monday.

Speaker 7 (01:08:35):
Women's College World Series Tennessee eliminated UCLA and extra innings
falls against Texas Next. Oklahoma then eliminated Oregon four to
one in Oklahoma City to make the semis against Texas
Tech Monday night. Sooners in the College World Series for
a ninth straight time and now nine straight semifinals. As
for college baseball, the Arizona Wildcats ten nothing on cal Poly.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
The seven please let it be Oklahoma.

Speaker 7 (01:09:02):
Your CLA already leads eight to nothing over UC Irvine,
bottom of the fourth. Oregon State is the visiting team
at home and up six to one on USC and
the fifth and the other game going Little Rock, trying
to stay alive, is leading at LSU, bottom of the
seven to four is the score. And you mentioned the
bracket for the best of three super Regionals next weekend,

(01:09:24):
it would be Arizona and Oklahoma. If it comes to that,
we do know it's going to be Auburn against Coast.

Speaker 3 (01:09:31):
Of Carolina or Norman.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
They do have national seeds.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
Wouldn't it go by that Arizona wasn't in the top
six teams?

Speaker 4 (01:09:42):
Yeah, neither was Oklahoma, but we were Oklahoma's down Chapel Hill,
Arizona's out in Eugene.

Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
If North Carolina would have won, we were going to
North Carolina. I know that.

Speaker 4 (01:09:50):
But North Carolina has they only forced the necessary game,
so Oklahoma still got to beat North Carolina one more time.

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
Yeah, yeah, I think it would have been a two
sound if it's between Oklahoma and two Arizona.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Teams that do not have a number. Saying that you
have no idea, I do.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
We were close to number sixteen. We were like number
twenty or something.

Speaker 7 (01:10:08):
In the NCAA Baseball Regionals for those who didn't hear
one seat overall, Vanderbilt was eliminated at home by Wright
State five to four, and then number two Texas was
eliminated at home tonight by ut San Antonio, which beat
him again seven to four. Kyle Kirkwood won the Detroit
Grand Prix, and NASCAR was at Nashville tonight, the win
to Ryan Blaney. This was a three hundred lap race

(01:10:30):
and it ended with over one hundred straight laps run
under green after seven caution flags in the first two
hundred laps or so. So Blaney now the ninth winner
this year, capturing a spot in the sixteen driver field
later this season for the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
Back to you, thanks Steve. Yeah, I'll double check on
that with the Super Regional. You might our baseball facility
is not the best when when what's I don't know
what Arizona's like?

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
Yeah, ours was awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:10:59):
I mean ours is and all that great, so it
probably would be, but they got sooner.

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
Still have to win one more, I will.

Speaker 4 (01:11:06):
So are you okay? Are you on a delay or something?
You keep Oh you were just talking over me, that's all?

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Oh yeah, okay, I'll be quiet and just let you go.
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
That's stinking genius. Wanted playing show. That's the best way
to get in touch with the program on the X.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Had a few of these real quick Now.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Bill is is Bill all this sudden buying that the
Luca trade.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Was a good one. Here we go, you ready, Yeah, trades.

Speaker 4 (01:11:35):
Dallas scrapped a fat ass at his salary, got the
number one pick, another first round pick when they trade
eighty three to four more picks cheap. The Lakers got
thirty or fifty three million in an in and out
burger mascot and kept a G League player. Plus they
are dealing reeves. Are you all serious right now? So

(01:11:57):
wait a minute, are we now in this world because
the Mavericks in a up with the first big Bill
Arnie that it was a good trade.

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
I mean, we don't have a large sample size here. No,
But now there's people in Dallas think at all, maybe
this was a good trade. Maybe it is going to
work out in Dallas's favor, and it's good that we
don't have Luca and it is fifty five to sixty
million dollars year contract and all that money out there.

Speaker 4 (01:12:23):
LJ writes, I'm trying to verify the rumor that the
University of Arizona is no longer having a D one
football program and instead is going into the club inner
mural program.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
Oh that's a good question. Out club is when running
back this year. He's good, He's good.

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
Cole writes, what about being a Portland Trailblazers fan, that's
gotta be tough.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
So that's true.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
I mean they once they lost after being up three
games to win against the Lakers, and the Lakers came
back and beat them. They've been pretty much irrelevant after that.

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
One of the very first basketball video games I had
was Bulls Versus Trailblazers because dead of I don't even
know what they do. I don't buy video games anymore,
but the name of the NBA game would be the
two teams that played for the title. It's like NBA
Bulls versus Blazers, Bulls versus whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
It was hilarious.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
So that's my Portland Trail Blazer's memory. I mean that
could be a smart AOO can say they still play basketball.
They've been pretty irrelevant for quite a while. I mean,
ever since Dame hit that shot against Okace, have they
done anything.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
They went to the Western Conference finals that year.

Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
That crazy they are now, Man, unbelievable, mister nobody.

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
If you're going to talk college baseball, how about my
seminals nineteen super regional appearances, the most since the Super
Regional format began.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
I didn't know that link.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Jared. I like him a lot. He's their head coach,
and then Emmett.

Speaker 4 (01:13:48):
If I was rich, I'd pay for you, Arenie, Chris, Ian,
Mary and Steve to come out for a meet and greet.
But I don't think I'll ever have that kind of money. See, apparently,
if if we go with that attitude, that come on,
you got to go get it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:14:02):
If we're gonna have someone bankroll a trip like the
alleged member of the Mallard militia did here, we gotta
have richer listeners, Arnie.

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
I heard that there was some demands by Ben.

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
By the way, Oh really, did you have a rider?

Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
No, he'd stay in the ritz Carlton.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
Really, that's what I heard. Presidential suite. If somebody pays
for it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:26):
I mean, the only thing that can stop is someone
saying no, allright, we gotta break when we come back,
Steve Sager, make sure we're caught up in all the
nuggets we need to know getting ready for the NBA
Finals that I'm excited about, Mister nobody's excited about, and
Arnie's not gonna watch. It's all coming up right here
on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, make sure to check out

great videos from many of our Fox Sports Radio shows.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
What's going on, Steve the Seger, how are.

Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
You doing well?

Speaker 7 (01:15:08):
And while we get to baseball in a moment, got
to mention with the finals coming up this week. Stanley
Cup Final starts Wednesday with Florida at Edmonton. Their Game
two in Canada is Friday, and the NBA Finals start
Thursday in Oklahoma City. That game two is next Sunday.
Indiana's franchise into the finals for the first time since
two thousand. It was pointed out that guard Tyrese Haliburton

(01:15:30):
was born in two thousand, so it seems like kind
of recent. You know, we watched him play Shaq and
Kobe in the late it's been a while.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
The pager the.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
Way, how'd you love that he thought he was going
to win the Eastern Eastern MVP? I loved it, man,
he didn't get it. I loved it. The vote was
five to four.

Speaker 7 (01:15:48):
He didn't win it, so for what it's worth, if
he'd had a vote, But you know, people were talking
about it was only a few days ago. People were
talking about Tyrese Halbert. Hey, it's like the face of
the Eastern Conference. You know, typical knee jack, knee jerk reaction.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
But he was so cocky. I'm glad he didn't get it.

Speaker 7 (01:16:05):
This Pacers franchise did win ABA titles in nineteen seventy
and seventy two and seventy three, but then after the
ABA folded they were part of that merge with the
NBA nineteen seventy six.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
They have not won an NBA title.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
The Thunder franchise, remember, was originally in Seattle. It moved
to Oklahoma City two thousand and eight, made the finals
as the Thunder in twenty twelve.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
They haven't suffered enough to win a championship.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
Now, the Seattle Sonics did win a title.

Speaker 7 (01:16:30):
They won the NBA Championship in nineteen seventy nine. Scotty
Scheffler won another title. This is by far the best
golfer in the world. Golf riders are saying we haven't
seen this kind of dominance since Tiger. He won the
Memorial by four strokes today. Scheffler won it last year. Also,
Tiger Woods had been the only repeat winner there until today.

(01:16:51):
Scheffler made just one bogie over the last forty holes
at Mirrorfield. Scheffler's rank number one. He has won three
times in his last four Stars. And to the opposite
of winning, let's talk about the Rockies in the A's
because Colorado has lost eight in a row. They lost
again in New York to the Mets, five to three.
The Rockies have a record of nine and fifty. They

(01:17:13):
are the fastest to fifty losses since eighteen eighty four.

Speaker 3 (01:17:18):
Incredible, just incredible.

Speaker 7 (01:17:20):
I looked it up the Dodgers in that division last
year as an example. It wasn't until mid August they
lost their fiftieth game of the season. The Dodgers were
seventy one and fifty at the time. The Rockies are
nine and fifty. They have lost their last twenty two
straight series, dating two last year. In other words, literally

(01:17:40):
every series they have played they have lost and already
and we've only been playing for two months this season,
this is already their fourth different eight game losing streak.
So Colorado has the worst record through fifty nine games
of any major League team in the modern era since
nineteen oh one. And even when they score first in

(01:18:00):
a game, they have an awful record at four and thirteen.
And then there's the A's who lost eight four at Toronto.
The A's have lost six straight. They have lost seventeen
of their last eighteen games. The A's are going to
be hosting the Twins for four in Northern California starting
Monday night. They gave up six runs bottom of the
eighth to lose at Toronto today. So the A's since

(01:18:23):
they got a win about a month ago against the Mariners,
and they were over five hundred at the time, since
then three and twenty one record tm ERA of seven
point seven to two. The Rockies in the same span
actually have a better ERA five point eight eight. Wow,
the Rockies are three and twenty two in that span.
Detroit has been great this year. The Tigers won again

(01:18:45):
won nothing at Kansas City. If the Tigers win their
next game, they'll be forty and twenty one. Silently this year,
they scored on a wild pitch in the third inning
that was the only scoring. They won at Casey and
the Royals tonight. Many reports saying they are calling up
the top prospect Jack Kgli on a recent draft choice.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
I saw that. Yeah, fire.

Speaker 7 (01:19:04):
So he has been on fire at double A, triple
A so far this season. Yankees beat the Dodgers seven
to three, Seattle to to one over Minnesota. The major
league's home run leader is not Sho heeo Tani or
Aaron Judge. Amazingly, it's Cal Rawley, the Mariners catcher. He
hit his twenty third of the season. Each team with
a run in the ninth to one Seattle the final,

(01:19:25):
and the Seattle Mariners are first in the AL West,
still a half game over Houston. And we had this
go on in the Houston game. This was on Space
City TV. As they see an ejection from one of
the visiting players, Taylor Walls Tampa Bay. He disagreed with
a ball outside that was called a strike, and as

(01:19:46):
he's getting back into the box, he's got his hand
on top of his helmet and then kind of taps
his helmet. Well, in spring training, tapping your helmet means
I'm going to a video challenge because I think you
blew the ball.

Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
Strike coll he tapped his helmet. I saw that he
tapped his helmet just.

Speaker 2 (01:20:04):
For tapping his helmet.

Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
Game unbelievable, believe. All right, thanks Steve.

Speaker 4 (01:20:11):
All right, when we come back power our time, Arnie
spicks right around the corner your tweets, and then we
gotta really start going in depth on the Roman numeral.
We gotta start checking off some of these Roman numerals
and a little Aaron Rodgers talk coming up on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio Fast Show.

Speaker 4 (01:20:31):
Tonight's Thinking Genius, Quick Show, Quick Show.

Speaker 3 (01:20:34):
Can I start something out this hour? Real quick sure show?
Did you see you about the passing of Loretta Swift?
Swift eighty seven years old from Mash. Used to love that,
used to love that show, absolutely loved it. Alan Ald
is still alive, Chris. I don't know if you know

(01:20:55):
that still with us. She was eighty seven years old.
By the way, eighty seven. He's ninety ninety two, Oh
oh wow.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
And his wife's ninety two.

Speaker 3 (01:21:08):
Geez uh yeah, hot lips Hulahn. Certainly iconic role. Was
it not grizzly or what? I didn't watch Mash?

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
I was like, four years old. So what that was?

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
That was a big show so many years in rerun?

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
Are you serious? You never really watched me?

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
I was never a Mash guy.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
Really.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
Yeah, I'm sorry. I can't help you.

Speaker 4 (01:21:31):
And I usually push back against people because there's a
lot of old TV shows that wait. My Friday nights,
my grandma and my grandpa would epis over and we
would watch Dallas.

Speaker 3 (01:21:43):
That was a big thing back then. Yeah, I see exactly.
Mash was never a thing. Wallace over Mash.

Speaker 6 (01:21:50):
I'd pick it neither, but I would definitely go with
Mash first if I had to pick one of.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
My Well, you know, you know what TV show you're but.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
I know everything about it.

Speaker 4 (01:21:58):
I know what you're talking about, and I know me,
but I never really I never really watched it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:02):
I know they all die in the end.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
Wow, non, matched they don't die it yet.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
Wasn't there a helicopter crash or something?

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
No, No, it wasn't a plane crash. Yeah, in one
of the episodes helicopter.

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
That wasn't the last one.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
No, they all went home. They all went home. So
you really got to watch You thought they all died.

Speaker 4 (01:22:22):
I thought that. I thought that's how they I thought
it was like The Sopranos, you know when it just
went dark. No, no, it was like, oh, the series
is over. We got a news everyone just died in
a plane crash.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
And you know what your favorite TV show is going
to be?

Speaker 3 (01:22:32):
Don't show? What's that? The Arnie Spaniards Show. By the way,
the the pilot has been written for the Artist Spaniards Show.
I wait you to know how long did it take
you to ride it? I didn't write it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
Oh, how are you involved? It's about me? It's it's
so it's called the Arnie Spaniards Show.

Speaker 3 (01:22:51):
Well, it's not called the Artie Spaniards Show. It's called
something else.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
I can't give you the.

Speaker 3 (01:22:55):
Name of that.

Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
That's already been canceled. But who Here's what I don't understand.
Why can't you give us the name of it? I
can't give you the name of the title. I just
can't do it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
But I thought it was the answer you're saying, it's
not the Arnie it's not the.

Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
Arnie Spaniards Show. It's not the Arnie Spaniards Show.

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
Are you gonna make money of this?

Speaker 3 (01:23:11):
I don't know if I have to sue somebody. I
got it. It's written about me. I gotta get something,
don't I. I gotta get some money from this thing,
don't I. I would think so I got to be
a consultant, Like, didn't Rudy get something when they made Rudy? I?

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
I don't. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:23:29):
That's probably a very easily google able question. How do
we get from hot Lips to your TV show?

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
Is what I want to know.

Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
Well, because we were talking about TV shows and mash
that's all. It's an easy transition. I would. I would.
A lot of people will be watching the Arnie Spaniards show.

Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
I promised that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:45):
But Spaniards show, I can't give you the real name,
so I'm just calling it the Arnie Spaniards Show.

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
Who would you?

Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
Is George Castana Gonnaistanza going to be you?

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
No? No, But I did hear Alexander's Yeah. I did
hear a few people that wanted to get to play me.
Very impressive, very very impressive. DiCaprio.

Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
They wanted challome that's right, that's right. Yeah, they were
lining up.

Speaker 3 (01:24:09):
No thanks, I'm good.

Speaker 4 (01:24:10):
I like the NBA, by the way, speaking of Timothy Shallomey,
I like the NBA Central story that said that he
left his his girlfriend Kaylen Jenner back in uh back
in Indiana after they lost, after the Nick's lost and
everybody started falling for man Arnie falls.

Speaker 6 (01:24:26):
Do they have to show him NBA Sentil. Don't mention
that around Arnie. He'll click on it and repost it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
In exactly Do they have to show that guy every time?
By the way, he's the hottest thing going right now?

Speaker 3 (01:24:36):
What is he so hot about?

Speaker 6 (01:24:38):
Williams, Bob Dylan, Man, Bob Dylan. What was the end
of list a Dune? Yeah, he was in Dune.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
He's least on a gay eb and dud and he's
dating a Kardashian.

Speaker 3 (01:24:48):
If I ran into him at the out guard on
my ass feet, wait what I said.

Speaker 4 (01:24:52):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Check check I screwed it up
a jinn or not a Kardashian.

Speaker 3 (01:24:55):
Sorry, go ahead. If I ran into him in the
ov guarden, I ask him for more breadsticks. I mean
he's wildly got it good. Yeah, he's wild.

Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
It's like an averaging guy, just an average.

Speaker 3 (01:25:07):
He's he's sitting courtside while you're in Vermont.

Speaker 2 (01:25:11):
I wouldn't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:12):
I don't even know who the hell that guy is
they keep showing him. I'm like, what does that guy playing?
We just told you?

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
Well, now you know. Now I know. I didn't know
much big I didn't know much about him, but he's fun,
you know.

Speaker 4 (01:25:24):
He actually I think started as a YouTube star when
he was like fifty.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
Get on here, not kidd, I should have done that
YouTube thing. Well, YouTube wasn't a thing, Arnie when you
were fifteen years old. Sorry, damn telegram, not even yet.

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
Best of luck on the not called Arnie Spaniers Show.
Why does Mary sound so different today? The Arnie Spaniards Show?

Speaker 4 (01:25:49):
How are we supposed to What are we supposed to
call this? If it's not the Arnie Spaniards. I have
the pilot.

Speaker 3 (01:25:53):
I have not read it yet because I've been busy
the last week, but I am going to get to
it this week.

Speaker 4 (01:25:59):
Hold on, I think you're lying because you're not busy.
You don't do anything. You watch the Knicks. That's what
you watch, the Mets.

Speaker 3 (01:26:07):
The Knicks had my whole attention this week, so I
had to pay attention to that.

Speaker 4 (01:26:12):
Okay, just just one final clarification for me. TV show
that you claim is about you.

Speaker 3 (01:26:17):
Yes, it is about me, but considering the writers came
into the show and the actresses and then all the
people that are going to be and it came into
the show in LA But okay.

Speaker 2 (01:26:27):
Well, but you don't know if you're going to make
any money off of it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna make it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
It's not the Arnie Spaniels.

Speaker 3 (01:26:35):
I could get rich though. For all you know, it
could be a hadded Me Award winning show and I
get rich off. You have the script, but you never
even looked at it. I've been busy, been busy, but
I have got I only got the pilot last Sunday.
That's a week you were too busy to look over.
If somebody sas a lot of reading, it's a lot

(01:26:57):
of reading.

Speaker 4 (01:26:58):
If they're doing the Chris Blank Show. I'm pretty sure
the moment I get the script, I'm gonna want to
look at it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:04):
It's like like fifty to sixty pages.

Speaker 2 (01:27:07):
Yes, this is why I think you're full of it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:10):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:27:10):
The guys could back me up on this. I'm not
full of it.

Speaker 4 (01:27:13):
The guy, that guy, I can back you up that
you have the script? Yes, yes, can you guys back.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
Him up that he has the script. I can't. Yeah,
he sent it to me. I read it. You're not
supposed to say anything. He doesn't know. He acts like
he doesn't know your name.

Speaker 9 (01:27:29):
Ian.

Speaker 3 (01:27:29):
You don't have to cover Who is that Mary? Is
that what you said? Mary? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
It's Mary, Mary, Mary?

Speaker 3 (01:27:35):
All right to the tweet.

Speaker 4 (01:27:36):
Anything else you want to add on your TV show
that you can't talk about, but it's about you?

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
Ummmm, No, that's it. I'm sure it's gonna get picked
up real soon by one of the major networks. So
I'm hoping it's like Amazon Plus or whatever Apple plas.

Speaker 2 (01:27:50):
Apple Plus, is it?

Speaker 3 (01:27:51):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
I guess that could be major.

Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
Maybe Hulu, you know something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:27:55):
Uh LJ, HiT's just's up on Twitter. He says that
either there could be nudity. Did you just really have
to bring that up? I was trying to read a tweet.
Get us back to sports, and we'll talk about me
having to watch a show with you naked.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
On it by bad by bad some LJ writes Crime
a River.

Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
If the Celtics would have been healthier and not lost
the first two games versus the Knicks, the series would
have been over as it is. That was the Knicks
championship against the Celtics, maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
Twenty seventy two.

Speaker 4 (01:28:27):
Before the Knicks win a championship, Oh y'all sure celebrated
like it was your title.

Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
That First of all, that's a bunch of boloney, because
before Tatum went down, we were gonna win that game
and go three games to win anyway, So we were
gonna win that series no matter if Tatum was one
hundred percent or not.

Speaker 4 (01:28:43):
Nature Boy Ai has given us a template, Arnie for
how the Knicks fans can handle today.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
It can be Roman Numeral sixteen.

Speaker 4 (01:28:53):
Nature boy wrote, what is something positive you can say
to a New York Knicks fan after a devastating play
off loss?

Speaker 2 (01:29:00):
Nothing, we take our we take our team too.

Speaker 3 (01:29:02):
Seriously, Man, that's a tough one. I know it absolutely stings.

Speaker 4 (01:29:06):
But look, this Knicks team fought with everything they had, Oni,
and they showed some incredible heart this season. They've built
something real and the core is only going to get stronger.

Speaker 3 (01:29:16):
It is it is, But he doesn't help me. Now.

Speaker 2 (01:29:19):
The future for the Knicks is genuinely bright.

Speaker 4 (01:29:21):
By the way, everything with Ei or Ai, excuse me,
we'll have a word like genuinely thrown in there.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
He's like, no one like says that.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (01:29:29):
It's genuinely bright for you right now, this mixed throof
they belong among the league's elite.

Speaker 3 (01:29:35):
They'll be back and next time Boston Celtics next year.
Either there's no Boston Celtics next year.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
Well apparently they're getting Cooper Flagg according to you, so
maybe there is.

Speaker 3 (01:29:44):
Wow. Look, two tweets got into suggesting actors to play me,
and they both guess the same guy.

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
Some unlike some be actor. Jeffrey tamber is not a
B actor.

Speaker 3 (01:29:58):
Soon Elisa wrote it and Johnny be Good wrote that too.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
That's not a B actor.

Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
That's not a B actor. He's awesome. Jeffrey who Tambour.

Speaker 4 (01:30:09):
Oh my gosh, he might I've seen him before, but
but he's not a big time name.

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
I mean he's on shows that I watch.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
Yeah, he's like a B actor maybe C list actor.

Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
I think you're wrong there. I think he's a little
higher than that. He's interested development for goodness sakes.

Speaker 3 (01:30:30):
He was in that show where What's the guy played
a talk show host? He's dead now, the Larry Sanders Show,
Larry Gary Shaw. Hey, Now that was funny.

Speaker 4 (01:30:42):
So you're telling me, I think that'd be a good
person to play you.

Speaker 2 (01:30:45):
Now that I look at him, it might not be
too bad.

Speaker 3 (01:30:47):
But no, that's not who's going to play me though,
too since we need somebody much younger than that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:52):
Since we're on since we're on TV, the dab crab
just gets in with this, which I'm since I'm a
TV nerd, I was actually aware of.

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
This is the.

Speaker 4 (01:31:05):
Highest rated non sporting event ever televised. Everyone makes it
home safe with two exceptions. Yes, so I guess I
just uh, I guess I must have misremembered it a
little bit. And then what happened to Roger Clem is
he misremembered it? Did father Mulkay?

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
Father?

Speaker 9 (01:31:21):
I think he misremembers is deafened because he spent the
war hearing the sins of others and Clinger who ironically
chooses to remain in court.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
That's right. He was looking for somebody, and all those
years he wanted to leave, and as soon as the
war was done, he decided to stay.

Speaker 6 (01:31:42):
You know, my grandfather, George was in the real life
Korean War mash unit as a radiologist. That's pretty cool,
an X ray technician. Then he became a radiologist and
then a dentist. I was a radio guys, Like, that's
quite a shift. Did Hawkeye make it through? Did he
get home?

Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:31:59):
Did he make it home?

Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
Orne, did he make it home?

Speaker 3 (01:32:02):
Ernie God, Yeah, he made it Okay, made it well. Blake,
Henry Blake, the commanding officer, died. He's the one that
died in the helicopter crash. Okay, all right, so there
was some truth to what Chris was. Uh, yes, I
told you there was a crash. He got one right, Yes,
he got run right. What were we talking about? Oh,
we were doing tweets to the program. Yeah, we got
a lot today.

Speaker 2 (01:32:22):
Wait, yeah, we are.

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
Well.

Speaker 4 (01:32:23):
I think what's happened here that is great is that
you've posted the roman numeral rundown.

Speaker 2 (01:32:28):
So everyone has instant reactions to it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:30):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
I mean, you can give me credit every now and then.
That was my idea.

Speaker 3 (01:32:33):
That was my idea.

Speaker 2 (01:32:34):
You need to.

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
Post the roman numeral rundown. Yeah we do.

Speaker 2 (01:32:37):
Let's see here.

Speaker 3 (01:32:38):
What was the next one? Oh yeah, free tambur Jeez,
I never.

Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
Would be great, it'd be great. I think that'd be
a great one.

Speaker 6 (01:32:43):
That's Arnie though, I know what Jeffrey Tamber Nobody's we're
looking guy.

Speaker 3 (01:32:47):
He was on Three's Company. No he was not. I
have no idea.

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
I don't think jeff Yeah, he had a roll in
threes Company.

Speaker 3 (01:32:53):
And then's up bill goes sixty pages. Okay, Shakespeare, I
think it's maybe could be more than sixty. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
Well, if Ian said that you have it, then I
guess you have it. Yeah, I do.

Speaker 3 (01:33:04):
I do.

Speaker 4 (01:33:05):
Gumby Dave Wrights in the Roman Numeral Rundown, Let's take
Patriots wide receiver with hookers and pink powder for sixty
nine million dollars to start the episode today, I.

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
Left that one off the Roman Numeral Rundown. I'll come man, Well.

Speaker 3 (01:33:18):
I figured where you live, you get a lot of
Boston sports talk, right, So lot came out and said
that they think he thinks or he thinks, they should
cut him immediately, like now because of the video.

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
Yeah, like by you're out of here.

Speaker 4 (01:33:34):
I mean, let's wait till he drops a few passes
then you can. Really I mean, who else is going
to be your wide receiver in New England.

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
I'm just telling you what he said. You know, he's
tied in with the team.

Speaker 2 (01:33:43):
So so do you think they're going to do it?

Speaker 3 (01:33:45):
No, not in a million years. That's ridiculous. I don't
really care about that. Thank you. Bill. Uh This is
I saw the Belichick story about how he's his buy
it is only a million dollars now.

Speaker 2 (01:33:57):
I thought it was after the first year.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
No, I think they've moved it from ten million to
one million. Yeah, because it was when it got past
June it dropped. But I thought it was after a year.
I can't be wrong on that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:09):
I could no. But here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (01:34:12):
I love how people are just enamored with this story
about him and his girlfriend. Even whenever there's no news,
they still something gets ridiculously. I mean, the freaking Pablo
Torres has made his life work for some reason. I'm
so perplexed by this story right now that it's I'm
shocked it wasn't on your Roman numer rundown this week.

Speaker 3 (01:34:31):
My son's twenty seven. His girlfriend's older than Bill Belichick's girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
How old is she?

Speaker 3 (01:34:36):
I think she's twenty five. I don't have any doubt
to it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
Bill Belichick's girlfriend is only twenty five.

Speaker 3 (01:34:43):
She's twenty four, I believe.

Speaker 4 (01:34:44):
I don't look at that mister nobody who's on fire
tonight as a bandwagon OKC fan. I live in the
south to east at Southeast, but became a fan during
the days of Durant, Westbrook, Adams and Pabo. I'm looking
forward to the finals and I'm calling it now thunder
and six deeper than the Pacers and they play better
defense than the Knicks.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
Is it still going?

Speaker 3 (01:35:05):
Hunter? Is it done? Still going on? Arnie?

Speaker 4 (01:35:08):
And in fact JV points this out. Don't feel too bad, Arnie.
The Mets are just four months away from being another
team of yours who is just a bit short of
being title working.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
Oh, I have high hopes for the Mets this year.
Are the games gonna sod in Oklahoma City? Do you
have that many people to go to the games?

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
Barely there? And I think they'll barely get under that?

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
Is that everybody has to go right?

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
Any other shots you want to take out him? I'm
just trying to be nice to you.

Speaker 4 (01:35:33):
Any other shots you want to take the team? As
as I checked the schedule, still playing?

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
Wow? Oh wait, I've just.

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
Wanted to find out that's all.

Speaker 1 (01:35:44):
Josh the bit outside.

Speaker 3 (01:35:45):
He tried in the corner and missed.

Speaker 2 (01:35:47):
I love the Oklahoma City Sooners.

Speaker 3 (01:35:49):
They're my favorite team.

Speaker 2 (01:35:55):
You gotta hit that as funny.

Speaker 3 (01:35:56):
It's not funny.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
It is a little bit of thunder. One respect the
thunder my value.

Speaker 4 (01:36:02):
They're the thunder. They're better than your team. People can cry,
you know they're better. We would have probably they beat
the snot out of you this year and every time.
I don't even think you beat Okasey.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
This year.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
We didn't beat Boston, but look what we did to
them with their best player hurt.

Speaker 3 (01:36:18):
We were gonna beat them anyway. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:36:21):
I don't know, We'll never know, but I'll tell you this,
respect case. He must stop right now, stops on this
program because it's all you've got right now going for
you. You don't even have a TV show with your name
on itor if you think you're gonna get money from it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
You're rooting for the Dolphins, and you know what's gonna
happen there.

Speaker 3 (01:36:38):
I mean, come on, dude, Arizona Football really feel good
about that? Though? Why our quarterback Fajeta faia Fahida, who's
your coach?

Speaker 4 (01:36:51):
Brenton Brennan still already felt for a fake report on
that he thought he got fired Yeah, he's.

Speaker 2 (01:36:56):
Only in the second year. Yeah, we're from San Jose
State Spartan. Yeah, thanks for telling me that it was
bad last year too. Yeah, he had a rough year.

Speaker 3 (01:37:04):
Man. No, don't tell Arnie that.

Speaker 6 (01:37:05):
Don't tell you when they opened four and two or
something and they kind of just I think it was
a just coaching change.

Speaker 3 (01:37:10):
But it was a good quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:37:11):
But it was that soft league that they were in, right, Arnie,
that's right.

Speaker 6 (01:37:16):
This year, by the way, guys to Arnie's support here,
didn't what the Arizona State Sun Devils picked to finish
like last by the media and then they had a
true yes, fourteenth ended up going to the playoffs, So
you never.

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
Try keep up live.

Speaker 4 (01:37:29):
Of course that's Arizona State, who actually wins things in football. Oohuch,
what do they even call it? They are they the
Arizona Sun Devils? Is that what your team is?

Speaker 3 (01:37:38):
Wow? See that's disrespectful. That is disrespectful.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
Go ahead that one more tweet real quick before we
grab a break.

Speaker 4 (01:37:46):
Brendon writes, I know promotion slash relegation isn't a thing
in American sports, but can we send the Rockies to
Double A? They're bringing down the product. They gotta do something,
maybe chug some Coors before the game. Then again, that
might be the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:38:01):
Now you could, you could call me crazy, but I
told you I'm going to stop this, and it's going
to happen sooner than later, and I'm surprised as it's
happened by now. We'll just go to the split season.
That way, teams like the Orioles and the Rockies in
the A's all get their fresh start, we get a
second opening day. You'll keep attendance up. Who the hell

(01:38:23):
wants to go to a Rockies game, or an Athletics game,
or even an Orioles game for that matter. White Sox
are twenty games out. Who wants to go see these
teams twenty fifteen? Twenty games out when it's already June first? Right?

Speaker 4 (01:38:40):
Do you think do you think, Arnie, that that would
ever be a possibility to happen in Major League Baseball?

Speaker 3 (01:38:47):
Absolutely, We've already had it in single A, double A,
triple A.

Speaker 2 (01:38:51):
But you know how hard it is to change anything
in baseball.

Speaker 3 (01:38:55):
We've done it one year when we had a problem
with the work stoppage.

Speaker 4 (01:38:58):
The only thing is, but I don't think we wiped
the records. Did we No, we didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:39:02):
And the only problem is that the Cincinnati Reds finished
with the best record for both halves, but they didn't
make the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:39:08):
So there is a you know, kind of a loophole
in this thing.

Speaker 3 (01:39:11):
But I think having two opening days, two Pennant races,
it certainly gives you a fresh start.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
It will help attendance.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
Plus, so we'll help you bring kids, bring people up
from Triple A in case you already won the first half.

Speaker 2 (01:39:26):
And you want to try out some new people.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
So I think it's a.

Speaker 4 (01:39:29):
Win win situation. I think it is too and I
think it'd be awesome. I still don't think it would
make the Rockies good. I still don't think they would
what with no number that the Saga had eighteen hundreds
of the worst start.

Speaker 3 (01:39:43):
Right, but they could make trades. Who know if they
would make trades, Look, they probably wouldn't be relevant, but
who knows if they wouldn't want to make trades, and
you know, maybe have to do with it. No, try
to get better, is what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:39:56):
Oh, I don't think it could, say the Rockies, but
I like the idea of a split season. Shocked that
it wasn't on the roman numeral tonight. All right, we're
way past to break. When we come back to the
Fox Sports Radio studios. We got some audio from today
that we need to dive into. Plus, let's see what's
the roman numeral on Aaron Rodgers? You had, it's number
seven seven. Let's hit roman numeral seven next right here

(01:40:18):
on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
Next marks the spot.

Speaker 4 (01:40:22):
I'm never one to try to talk about the competition
too much, Harney. Yeah, but I've got Sports Center on
right now and they're running through the top ten moments,
top ten NBA Final moments of the last twenty five years.

Speaker 2 (01:40:37):
Right, I'm sure a lot of OKC Indiana on there.

Speaker 4 (01:40:40):
There's not But number four was Alan Iverson stepping over
Tyron leewin Game one of that finals.

Speaker 2 (01:40:47):
I mean, who put this list together?

Speaker 4 (01:40:50):
How was that a top five NBA Finals moment of
the last twenty five years? In game one of a series,
and that's the only game that Philly won and the
Lakers swept after that. I don't who's making these lists.
Who sits down and says, you know, it's a top
five months.

Speaker 3 (01:41:10):
You got to put that in there. That's oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:41:13):
And we got to make it high on the list too. Well.

Speaker 3 (01:41:16):
Speaking of high on the list, Hey, now you on
your Roman numeral rundown, you did not.

Speaker 2 (01:41:23):
Have football as high as eye.

Speaker 4 (01:41:25):
You do not have football on the list because you
know it's all I want to talk about. Since you
refuse to talk softball, all I want to talk about
is football.

Speaker 3 (01:41:32):
Roman numeral seven.

Speaker 2 (01:41:34):
Is the only football you have on this list outside
of a few stars.

Speaker 3 (01:41:37):
Surprising you're right about that. No, No, Roman numeral six.
Oh go ahead, Tyreek cal what you got doesn't have that?
He doesn't watch film? He runs fast? Just kidding, right, well,
he says he plays Madden and looks at the scores

(01:41:59):
of the the in some backs that he's going up against.

Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
Do you think that's Do you think he's being real?

Speaker 3 (01:42:06):
Yeah? I do. One's being real. You don't know, But
I'm just saying. Do you think that that that he
really doesn't watch film?

Speaker 1 (01:42:14):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:42:15):
Yeah, I totally believe that. Anyway, what what what shows it?

Speaker 3 (01:42:21):
Sometimes? What's your thoughts on it?

Speaker 4 (01:42:24):
I mean, he's doing every press conference he can to
try to make it seem like he's got something to prove.

Speaker 3 (01:42:29):
I gotta be I'm a little nervous I thought Miami
was all in this year. Now that looks like they're
trying to trade everybody, and I'm like, what the hell's
going on? I don't understand they're trying to get rid
of the tight End, who had like ninety three catches.

Speaker 2 (01:42:41):
The tight End? I go, what the hell are you
doing it?

Speaker 3 (01:42:44):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:42:44):
Can at least know his name?

Speaker 3 (01:42:46):
I couldn't remember off the top of my head, but
he was just like, what the hell's going on? Why
are we trading these guys?

Speaker 4 (01:42:52):
Because you're tanking? Baby, You're gonna tank for arch.

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
If we're worse than the Raiders this year, I'm really
gonna gets sick.

Speaker 4 (01:43:00):
Well, it's been pretty hard to be worse than the
Raiders the last few years, to be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
All Right, Well, let's get to what people actually care about.

Speaker 4 (01:43:08):
Why is Aaron Rodgers still not on the Pittsburgh Steelers, Because,
as de Seger pointed out earlier, the one thing we
do know is that he's not going to the Pittsburgh
s or excuse me, the New Orleans Saints, right, Steve?
Why is he now with the Pittsburgh Steelers yet?

Speaker 2 (01:43:22):
Arnie? Well, I'm not just I didn't point that out.

Speaker 5 (01:43:24):
But I.

Speaker 7 (01:43:26):
Have heard that, yes, his comments, yes, And I just
wish this story would go away. And this is two
years running.

Speaker 2 (01:43:33):
Probably like four years running, to be honest, it goes back.

Speaker 3 (01:43:36):
Well at least he could throw a pass four years ago.

Speaker 7 (01:43:38):
I'm just saying, well, you know, nothing's more important than
the Arizona Wildcats baseball team. It over did win fourteen
to nothing over cal Pwlly tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:43:49):
Do you know our guy yesterday went four for four
with three home runs and didn't even win the MVP
because the guy that won the MVP went five four
for five with three home runs.

Speaker 7 (01:43:59):
So the guy when it was past call siakam oh
your slugger was, took a couple of steps forward toward
the trophy and then heard someone else's name.

Speaker 3 (01:44:09):
I love that. I love that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
As Ournie Arizona fan did point out.

Speaker 7 (01:44:14):
Earlier, this has to be one of the easiest pass
ever to any super regional in the history of college baseball.
No offense to the opponents, but this was the Eugene
Oregon Regional, and since Oregon lost Friday had lost Saturday,
they were out quickly, meaning Arizona just has to beat
cal Poly twice and they beat Utah Valley fourteen to
four yesterday. Arizona is in apparently against the whoever wins

(01:44:38):
Oklahoma and North Carolina to finish up the Chapel Hill Reach.

Speaker 3 (01:44:41):
And if we play Oklahoma, then we'll really play a
bunch of nobodies. That's right. That might be a Norman.

Speaker 7 (01:44:47):
I've heard might and maybe and could, but I haven't
seen it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:52):
I promise maybe or three. I think they're each two
seeds this week, two seeds. It was North Carolina. What
were the rankings? Oh? Five, I think five?

Speaker 2 (01:45:05):
Yeah, so that means Arizona impressive.

Speaker 3 (01:45:08):
No, Arizona was ranked higher than Oklahoma. How does it
mean that? Because? Uh? Because uh, Oregon was right. Yes,
it does because Oregon was right like fourteenth. So they
gave them a a higher ranked, second second rate rated

(01:45:29):
team and the Oklahoma was like behind them.

Speaker 7 (01:45:32):
Okay, we'll revisit this when Oklahoma is hosting Arizona next time.

Speaker 3 (01:45:36):
No, I'm I know this already. I know this. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:45:40):
For those who didn't hear.

Speaker 7 (01:45:40):
In the baseball Regionals, one seed Vanderbilt eliminated at home
by Wright.

Speaker 2 (01:45:44):
State, and then two seed Texas.

Speaker 7 (01:45:46):
Eliminated at home by UT San Antonio and at the
Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City tonight. The Oklahoma
Sooners eliminated Oregon for to one, So tomorrow Semis Tomorrow night,
Texas Tech against the Sooners, Texas Longhorns against the Tennessee Valls,
who eliminated UCLA in extra innings. Kyle Kirkwood won the
Detroit Grand Prix NASCAR win at Nashville tonight for Ryan Blaney.

(01:46:10):
The UFL's regular season ended today on Fox TV. Birmingham
finished seven to three after its win forty six to
nine at Memphis. Another small crowd at Memphis four thousand,
five hundred. Meanwhile, as attendants a robust eleven thousand for
a bad San Antonio team in the Dome, Arlington beat
him twenty three to six. UFL the Spring Football League

(01:46:30):
has its conference finals next Sunday, including DC at Saint
Louis on Fox TV. As you know, without NFL, Saint
Louis has been a good attendance spot for this league.
The Dome in Saint Louis in fact, will be hosting
the championship game in two weeks. Scottie Scheffler won the
Memorial by four Strokes won at last year. Also Jordan
Speach shot a final round seventy four and felled to

(01:46:52):
a tie for seventh place. Carlos Alcarez won his fourth
round match at the French Open. Women's number four Jasmine
Paullini Laws number two Cocoa Golf plays your fourth rounder
on Monday as his number three. Jessica Pagoula Stanley Cup
Final starts Wednesday. NBA Finals start Thursday. It did run
across this from Stats Inc. Apparently with this matchup, the

(01:47:13):
home arenas for the Thunder and the Pacers are less
than seven hundred miles apart air miles. That is the
shortest distance between two teams arenas in the NBA Finals
since nineteen seventy one, when it was Kareem and Milwaukee
against the Baltimore Bullets. So there why WNBA seven to

(01:47:34):
zero New York rip candidates seven to zero Minnesota? What
at Golden States? Yankees beat the Dodgers seven to three
in LA. Dodgers hit three solo homers, but DJ Lemayhew
had four hits. Yankee closer Luke Weaver did not make
an appearance due to a sore hamstring. Late in this game,
outfielder Jason Domingos in New York left with a Bruce thumb.

(01:47:54):
Dodger shortstot Mookie Betts was out this weekend with a
broken toe. He thinks he'll return during the four game
series against the Mets, which starts on Monday, and the
Mets are now alone and first in the NL East.
Game up on Philadelphia, Mets beat Colorado five to three.
As we mentioned earlier, they'll still count as full victories.
The Rockies have lost eight in a row. They are

(01:48:15):
nine to fifty on the season, and again, the stat
is the fastest to fifty losses since eighteen eighty four,
and they have yet to win a single series this year.
Milwaukee has won seven in a row, five to the
final at Philadelphia, which has lost four straight wins for
San Diego and San Francisco. Arizona won three to one

(01:48:36):
over Washington, but the Diamondbacks starting pitcher Corbin Burns left
with elbow inflammation. Cal Raley and Seattle leade Is twenty
third homer to lead the Majors beat Minnesota two to one.
Toronto with six runs bottom of the eighth beat the
A's eight four, So five straight wins for the Blue Jays,
six straight losses for the A's Houston won nothing over
Tampa Bay. Hunter Brown is having a great year on

(01:48:58):
the mound eight and three for the Astros. Detroit won
won nothing at Kansas City. Back to you have a
great week, Steve. Awesome seat, Steve de Seger. He'll be
on updates throughout the night here on Fox Sports Radio. So, Arnie,
the question is Aaron Rodgers, why is he playing this game?
Is he going to be a Steeler? And are you
tired of having to put it on the romannue?

Speaker 3 (01:49:19):
Well, yeah, yeah, heard the one rumor about how we
didn't want to go to OTA. So that way, if
he doesn't sign and he's not obligated to go to
the OTA's and then he's going to wait for that
to finish out, So maybe that's the possibility.

Speaker 2 (01:49:31):
It's looking better and better that way.

Speaker 3 (01:49:33):
Also, he's already insinuated that he was going to play
for them anyway. I think the whole thing, I am
getting sick of it. The more he does this, the
more I want to root against him and the team
he plays for. I don't think he's going to go
to the Saints or anything like that. I think his
best days are so far behind him that he'll be
going you just have another average season, So good luck

(01:49:54):
to him.

Speaker 2 (01:49:55):
But I'm getting tired of this, to be honest with you.

Speaker 4 (01:49:57):
Do you think there's a chance that he just doesn't
play at all? No? I, oh, you think so? You're
now set for certain that you think he's gonna play.
I think he's gonna play. He'll play with pittsburghen he'll.

Speaker 3 (01:50:08):
Give it one more year. I don't think he wants
to go out the way he did with the Jets.

Speaker 4 (01:50:12):
But if you think he's washed, then it doesn't really
matter what he wants he does.

Speaker 3 (01:50:16):
I think he's washed. I know he's washed. He just
doesn't know he's washed yet.

Speaker 2 (01:50:21):
I like all this stuff. You know, you knew that
the Knicks were going to come back and force the game.

Speaker 3 (01:50:24):
Sute, ouch know.

Speaker 2 (01:50:26):
That Aaron Rodgers has washed?

Speaker 4 (01:50:28):
So are you gonna be someone then that's not gonna
put a lot of stock into Pittsburgh this year. In
other words, if we're convinced that Aaron Rodgers is gonna
be that dude, then do we kind of pull back
and say, well, I don't think they're going to be
that good anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:50:45):
If he's washed, well they won't be about five hundred.
That's gonna come to an end, so you can forget
about that. They'll probably be a in third place in
that division. There'll be Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. Matter
of fact, breaking news, it's already done. Baltimore's won the division,
Cincinnati is second, Pittsburgh third, Cleveland fourth. That's the easiest

(01:51:07):
division to pick all time. Look, I already picked it. It's
already June first, so it's ov e er over. That
division's already over. Yeah, that's done.

Speaker 2 (01:51:17):
But you don't like Lamar Jackson either. Yeah, but they're
good enough to win that division.

Speaker 3 (01:51:22):
You know, I don't have a lot of faith in Cincinnati,
but obviously they'll be a lot better.

Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
Okay, fair enough, then.

Speaker 3 (01:51:28):
Well, why you are you gonna you're gonna argue with that?
With Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Cleveland. Ninety percent of the people
listening right now are saying, you're right, that's the way
it's gonna be. Oh, okay, yeah that I'm arguing with it.
I think you're wrong. I think that Cleveland's gonna win
the division. No, I just you're burying Pittsburgh, you're barying
Aaron Rodgers, and that's fine. I'm tired of it too.

(01:51:49):
I'm not disagreeing, but I think he'd be pretty good
in Pittsburgh. I think you'd be really good in Pittsburgh.
You goat DK Metcalf there. Now, you got a couple
good running backs or at least IDs one. Uh, you
got a smart coach, got a good defense. Looks like
you're gonna have a decent offensive line. I mean, I'd
like it a hell of a lot better than I do.
Thinking about Mason Rudolph being their quarterbacks, I agree.

Speaker 2 (01:52:12):
I agree with you there also, I think it's a
better option than them. But am I going to be
picking them to go to the super Bowl?

Speaker 3 (01:52:18):
Aren't he? Probably not right? Yes exactly. Are you looking
at Baltimore as a super Bowl contender this year? Yeah? Obviously,
if you're gonna win that division, you got to be
a super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:52:27):
Is Cincinnati back? They're not back a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:52:32):
They're making the playoffs, so they'll be back. They're back
a little bit. They'll probably win eleven games this year.

Speaker 4 (01:52:37):
That's eleven and six, that's Arnie. That's like division winning. Well,
they won nine last year, didn't they the Bengals. Yeah,
maybe I'm not right here in front of me.

Speaker 3 (01:52:50):
Nine and eight.

Speaker 2 (01:52:51):
I think they think they won.

Speaker 3 (01:52:52):
They were nine and eight last year, eleven and well,
that's a pretty significant upgrade to grab two wins that puts.

Speaker 2 (01:52:59):
You in the playoffs where they didn't make it last year. Yeah,
two more wins, they'll make it instead of Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 (01:53:04):
I don't I don't know, man. I think Aaron Rodgers
is gonna be a good fit there. I think they're
gonna be pretty good. And again, I don't think they're
gonna go to the super Bowl or anything, but I
think they're gonna be a team that could win a
playoff game.

Speaker 2 (01:53:16):
Now, with that in mind, how long do they wait?
What's your what's your timeline?

Speaker 3 (01:53:20):
Are you that comfortable with Mason Rudolph possibly to where
you say, oh, yeah, I can wait this out a
little bit. No, No, no, I'm not comfortable with him
at all. So he does nothing for me? Why I'm not.
I'm not a big fan of his at all. I
might know. Well, that's my point.

Speaker 4 (01:53:36):
My point is, if it's Aaron Rodgers, at some point
you got to say let's go, because we're playing this game.
Like they're comfortable with Mason Rudolph when I don't think
there is a single Steelers fan out there right now
that's like, oh, I'm comfortable with this in Mason Rudolph,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:53:49):
Think you think he's already told them I'm coming in
and this is what I'm signing, and otherwise let's all
just keep quiet. I know there's been stuff leaked from
Pittsburgh saying we know, does you guys?

Speaker 2 (01:54:00):
I don't believe that for a second.

Speaker 3 (01:54:02):
I think they've been in communication with him and everything's
worked out.

Speaker 4 (01:54:06):
But don't you think that would leak in this modern
day National Football League?

Speaker 2 (01:54:11):
Maybe maybe not.

Speaker 3 (01:54:13):
If it's only between Tomlin and Rogers, maybe it doesn't
get leaked. I don't know. Well, when we come back
to the Fox Sports Radio studios, it's time to put
a bow on it with Arnie's picks.

Speaker 2 (01:54:23):
To take us home right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (01:54:27):
I sure didn't have Jeffrey Tambour, Mash Hot Lips and
the Arnie span Your show on my Bingo card tonight,
but those are among the many topics we have tackled.
And if you missed any of this greatness, make sure
to download the podcast shortly after we're done. Heon our

(01:54:47):
man Ian Roddy will upload the Arnie and Plank show,
and if you missed any of it, just go search
Fox Sports Radio wherever you get your podcast, and be
sure to follow and review the podcast rated five stars.
Say something nice about Annie Arnie again. Just search Fox
Sports Radio wherever you get your podcast hand. You'll see
today's show posted right after we get off the air.

(01:55:08):
Are you ready for your picks?

Speaker 3 (01:55:09):
Yeah? Yeah, Mary, go ahead and play something good for me.

Speaker 6 (01:55:11):
Get me in the movie with Sam in the show too.
Let's go old school with this bed music.

Speaker 3 (01:55:17):
I thought it was Mary. Mary never sounded better. I'm Mary. Yeah,
I told you it's Mary. That's what they call me.
I don't know why I plant argues with me on
Who's ear? All right, Chris, I got a couple of
them for you. First of all, Oklahoma four game sweep
over Indian Analyts. End this thing as soon as possible.

(01:55:37):
I can't stand to watch it. It's probably gonna bore
me to tears, just like everybody else. Okay, there won't
be No, it's not gonna be Okay, it's not gonna
be okay. I can't stand to see the Pacers win.
If they win, it's really good to discuss the hell
out of me. So I'm taking okay See. I'm gonna
take okay see in two games. How about that? Maybe

(01:55:58):
Pacers won't show up for the other two James, but
it will be a sweep. So there you go there, Edmonton,
we got Stanley Cup action. Edmonton gonna bring the Cup
home to Canada. A.

Speaker 2 (01:56:11):
So you're not into it there?

Speaker 3 (01:56:12):
Blank? Is that your Canadian?

Speaker 4 (01:56:14):
Do you think all Canadians just say a A.

Speaker 3 (01:56:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:56:18):
They that's where it's been live. Are they getting the
night off the party? No, they're starting to streaming right now.
Coop's here, Loraina is here, all fresh off their Canadian
trip to British Columbia.

Speaker 3 (01:56:29):
Oh nice, niceyy? You can they say a lot there? A.
They were eighty five to one before the start. But
I told everybody Arizona will win the baseball Championship. They're
gonna go to the Super Arena Regionals. Well, they'll take
down Oklahoma or North Carolina. I did do a good

(01:56:51):
job explaining why Arizona will get home home team.

Speaker 2 (01:56:56):
What they're the higher set of team?

Speaker 3 (01:56:58):
Yeah right, yeah, yeah, But it goes one through sixteen
and then when you sneak back in to the number
two seeds. That's why Arizona was with the number fourteen seeds,
so they would have been like nineteen twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
I assume you're right.

Speaker 3 (01:57:15):
So there you go. There. And by the way, am
I allowed to say anything other broadcasters say? I don't
think there's rules here, so if somebody else says it,
I could say it. Sure, so I could repeat what
Shack and Kenny Smith said. Go ahead, No, you can't
say that on TV or on the radio.

Speaker 6 (01:57:36):
Oh yeah, don't don't say what uh, don't say what
the jets said, or if you're watching live. Oh actually
I didn't. Just don't say what Shack said. But I
don't know what Chack said. I know what Kenny Smith.
What Kenny said, Shaq said Kenny Smith? Yeah, wait no,
well so he didn't. Kenny also drove f Yes, oh yeah, he.

Speaker 2 (01:57:54):
Was trying to be a funny for Shock. Why can
they say it?

Speaker 6 (01:57:57):
And I can't because it's her last show on that
network and it was somewhat late at night.

Speaker 3 (01:58:02):
Maybe where's the FCC when you need them? I'm sure
there you have my picks.

Speaker 5 (01:58:09):
Do of it?

Speaker 2 (01:58:09):
You please?

Speaker 3 (01:58:10):
No longer strictly predent taatement purposes. Only d D is
knocking up basketball anymore. Oh, I can't believe it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:20):
My gosh, man, that might have been the worst picks
you've ever done. Why, there's nothing really going on. I mean,
at least if I take a moment or at least try.

Speaker 3 (01:58:30):
What did you want me to pick softball?

Speaker 2 (01:58:32):
Well, I mean, baseball's going on right now. You predicted
Aaron Rodgers. You know, Mary just said, he said, he goes.

Speaker 3 (01:58:41):
These picks are terrible, absolutely terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:58:46):
Yeah, tough you.

Speaker 3 (01:58:47):
I gave you NBA, Stanley Cup, College baseball. What more
do you want?

Speaker 4 (01:58:53):
They so had a longer, more over the top goodbye
a show that's not really going away or around the horn?
Which one was more obnoxious? Now I get it. Inside
the NBA is moving to ESPN. A lot of the
people behind the scenes are no longer going to be
involved in this show. And that's that's that's fine, and

(01:59:15):
that's heartbreaking and I hate it for them, But I mean,
what what are we doing? What are we doing with
these sindoffs, with these programs, aren't you?

Speaker 3 (01:59:23):
Yeah? Yeah, they're still gonna be on the air. Is
the funniest part when I gotta send off. They they
made me not come in on a Friday so I
wouldn't say anything bad.

Speaker 2 (01:59:33):
Don't come in. We don't want you to come in.
Don't come in, don't say anything. Yeah you can't.

Speaker 4 (01:59:38):
