Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Sunday at the Masters.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Rory McElroy.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Looking to win back to back green jackets, but there's
a young competitor right by his side, Cameron Young, fresh
off the heels of a sixty five to put him
tied for the lead at Augusta National. Welcome everybody to
buy your cabin here on Fox Sports Radio. It is

(00:35):
the second weekend in April, and a green jacket will
be handed out at the end of the day. Sitting
next to me my partner, Carrie Rhodes. Carrie, we are
in for a magnificent day, a day that many of
us wait three hundred and fifty eight days a year for.
That day is finally here. It is the final round

(00:57):
of the Masters, with two of the game's biggest stars,
at least one of them atop the leaderboard today. What
a way to welcome us in. Carry Rhoads boy. I'll
tell you what if it isn't Christmas morning for me,
I don't know what is I am telling you, And
I understand, I understand that we have just reached past

(01:19):
noon on the East Coast. But it is the feeling
of excitement, It is the feeling of joy. There's also
a bit of bittersweetness carry roads because the Masters ends today.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
It's my favorite event.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
I think there are I don't want to say that
there's many like me, but there are more than I
think people would realize on how much they treasure what
goes on this week in Augusta, Georgia.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
But it all comes down to today, a day that I.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Believe is impossible to predict what will happen, even though
I may try.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I am just happy to be a part of this
journey with you, Dan. The excitement, the energy, the articulation
of what this event means to you and to so
many people. Man, it's it's it's it's insane because as
a kid and growing up and you know, being around
it for a while and obviously getting more into it
when you know Tiger was at the height of his

(02:13):
of his reign. But to see how big of a
deal this is. Even myself on Sunday, like, I'm locked in,
So I'm excited to see what happens, man, And you know,
Rory came out really hot, and you know things are
kind of coming back down to earth a little bit.
But we'll see how that goes. But yeah, man, exciting
day today looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
And I think Rory is the story here, although there
could be a bunch of different stories that end up developing.
What I am curious about this is this is a
conversation that is difficult for me to understand. Like I
can't understand why people would be out running errands today,
Like I don't understand it. It's it's a conversation of

(02:53):
people who are driving during the Super Bowl, Yeah, right,
Like if you were to look out your window and
you see somebody on the street driving and you're like,
what are you doing? These super Bowl is on? And
I think it's a narrow way of looking at it
through a sports fan's eyes. But I am very, very
guilty of doing that and when I see people watching games. Heck,

(03:16):
on Monday night, we took our son to Lego Land
and I had to record the second half of the
National Championship game because we were driving back from from
where we were, and I just I almost felt guilty.
I tried to stay away from everything because it's just
a big, you know, huge moment and I probably.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Could have missed the second half, missed it.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
I could have, But this is like, this is what
I like, look at today because there are so many
different storylines.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I just I don't understand how people can watch.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
So I appreciate you, uh you locking in today, And
if I had a small part of it, I am.
I am very honored afore that. But it's going to
be exciting, And I think part of the reason that
it's going to be exciting is because of Rory McElroy.
What he represents, the player that he is, the heartbreak

(04:12):
that he's had, the triumph that he had just last year,
and completing the career Grand Slam. And it's funny because
I don't think that everything changes for Rory. And on
Friday night, after Rory shot sixty five, hearing how he
was being asked questions in his press conference, you would

(04:33):
have thought that the tournament ended on Friday night with
a six shot lead. No one had had a six
shot lead after two rounds of the Masters, and you
just think, well, it's the defending champion, he's arguably the
best player in the world. He's going for a sixth major,
he's got a six stroke league lead. There's no way
that this could end up evaporating. That's the feel that

(04:56):
I got. But I don't think that that was a
realistic for a lot of reasons, and we saw it
transpire yesterday that the entire six shot lead is now gone.
And when you look at how today is entering, I'm
not even sure that Rory could be considered the favorite
today considering how well Cameron Young is playing. So my
question to you is, as an athlete, as a person

(05:17):
who has played at the highest level, when you have achieved.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Something like Rory McElroy has, when.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
You have finally gotten that monkey off your back, when
you have gotten the green jacket, you have completed your
career grand Slam, do those other demons really go away?
Do they ever just end up leaving or are they
always there underneath the surface.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
They're always there underneath the surface, Dan, And the reason
why is because we're going to continue to talk about it,
right and people around you are going to continue to
talk about it, because obviously, once you get a chance
to to reach that mountaintop. We've seen it with great
athletes all the time. We saw it with the quarterback
that's a Hall of Famer now that had to wait
his turn, and then when he got his turn, you know,

(06:00):
he would fall up short, fall up short, and then
he finally got it.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
He had a.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Famous line saying, somebody take this monkey off my back,
and that was Steve Young right with the Centranusco forty
nine ers. And then you know, you reach that, you
reach that mountain top, and you're so good and you're
considered one of the best to ever do it, and
then people are wondering, can you do it again? And
so it's never you're never really content with getting that one. Now,
obviously that one is special and we can all kind

(06:26):
of lean into that, but still, if you're considered one
of the greats, and you're considered one of those ones,
now people just sitting back saying, now can you do
it again? And if you don't and he has a
moment today or this weekend right where started out really
well and people, like you said, people were kind of
like seemingly writing it off and saying it's his, that
pressure starts to build again, because now you're building this

(06:48):
narrative that he's doing something great that you know others
can't do, and now can he withstand that?

Speaker 4 (06:54):
So it's always gonna be questions.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
And the monkey off the back thing is it's more
hyperbole than than anything.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'll tell you what. This may not bode well for
Rory today, but I don't think that yesterday was him
under the pressure. I just don't think his game is
there right now. And I think that when you saw
what he did on Friday when he shot sixty five
and highlighted by the chip in that he had on seventeen,

(07:22):
where I think that on Friday night, you're seeing how
he ends up holding out that chip and you're saying,
this is Rory's story, this is how it's supposed to go,
everything's going right for Rory. What that really does, it's
just masks that he hid it in the trees prior
had to chip out to that angle, and to his credit,
picked a spot where he felt he could be able

(07:43):
to get up and down and had the best case scenario.
But I think even Rory would tell you that he
didn't expect to hold out that shot, maybe getting up
and down for par es.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
But the real fact of the matter is that he.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Was in the trees on seventeen prior to that, and
that was a theme yesterday, and trying to get around
the course and just keeping the ball in the fairway
or just getting the ball in the fairway.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Which had been impossible for him to do on the
par fives.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
I think heading into the fifteenth yesterday, which would have
been his twelfth par five that he played this week,
I don't think he had hit a fairway yet, Like
there's like that's that's unheard of. It tells you that
his game is somewhat there because he's been able to
rebound and scramble and be able to score to give
him the lead that he had and give him the

(08:31):
score that he had. But if Rory's truly dominant, he's
going to be driving the ball well, and he's going
to be piping it, you know, down the fairway three
hundred and thirty three hundred and fifty yards and maybe
even plus there. And the guy that's doing that right
now is Cameron Young. And so Cameron Young is just
every bit as far as Rory McElroy is off the tee.
And so if you're looking at both of them right now,

(08:53):
I think that Young's game is more in the form,
not only when it comes to the Masters, but also
if you just take recent history Cameron Young's last three tournaments,
he's finished tied for seventh, tied for third, and he
won the Players Rory McElroy had to withdraw from the
Arnold Palmer Invitational because of a back injury. Yeah, like
that's you know, So that's that's where we are with
these two players right now.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
So I know that Rory is the story.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
I just don't have a ton of belief that he
gets it done today considering where I think his game
actually is and where Cameron Young's game actually is. It's
just the names on the leader board that make you
want to think something else.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, Dan, The thing I have learned in my short
times with the Masters is whoever supposed to be the
favorite coming to the last round, I I I don't
even talk about them because I because I don't want.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
To put pressure on them.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
And I think that's and that's the I think that's
the common the common thing when we watched this and
we've seen so many guys on the last day kind
of rise out of the ashes and get it and
get something done on this final day. So it's always open.
But I will say the thing with with Rory here
is now that he has some some good experience with
with you know, you know, the failure that he's had,

(10:01):
but also last year being able to overcome that and
dig deep and you know, missed the big shot on eighteen,
come back, regroup, win it, win it, you know, win
it in extras and and and uh and finally climb
that hurdle. I think having that that uh, that that
good cachet to kind of leaning your leaning your favor

(10:23):
is a big deal. So you know, having a having
a bad round or having a bad day isn't the
end of the world for a guy like that now
that actually knows he can bounce back. And with the Young, yeah,
he's been playing well, and I think with him, you know,
these things are it gets really intense on the last
day and all eyes are on you, and how are
you gonna hand doing these moments?

Speaker 4 (10:42):
You know, it's it's.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Only built for for a few of for a few
of them, Dan, And so we'll see if you can
rise up and keep it going on on on the
last day here.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I think it'll be somewhat of an accomplishment for Cameron
Young to put together a third straight round or of
a great round, But that would tell you where his
game is. But it also allows you to wonder what
could actually happen today. You mentioned the playoff last year
where Rory beat Justin Rose. Justin Rose is three shots back.
He surged yesterday last year on Sunday to get himself

(11:13):
into the playoff.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
You wonder if that can happen again.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Scotti Scheffler just after a sixty five of his own yesterday,
matching Young's and matching Rory's from Friday. He's sitting there
at seven under power looking for his green jacket. He
knows his way around the course. There's a bunch of
great stories. Sam Burns is one shot back. Is he
had to win a major and nobody cares. But he's
been maybe one of the most consistent players that we've
had over these last three days.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Shane Lowry's a character.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
There's just a lot of names and a lot of
faces and players that could make a push.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
And I guess I just want to wrap it up
by saying a couple of things.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Looking at the scores so far and looking at the
whole placements that we've got for the final round of Augusta,
many of them are traditional whole placements. Those traditional whole
placements will allow for scoring. Looking at what's going on
on the course right now, Victor Hovlin is four under par.
Jordan Spieth Early is two under through four Maverick mcneely's

(12:08):
got it to three under parwer Kegan Bradley's at three under.
Gary Woodland there may not have been a player more
on top of his game after he won a couple
of weeks back in Houston. He is at five under
power right now through thirteen holes. John Rahm is four
under through twelve holes. We know the names, we know
these players, we know the caliber. It also tells us
that the course is there for the taking and that

(12:29):
if you shoot even par today, you are going to
be losing strokes to the rest of the field because
right now there are scores to be taken. But that's
what makes Augusta National so great because Cameron Young and
Rory McElroy yesterday were playing the same exact course and
as they're navigating through these eighteen holes, for Cameron Young,

(12:51):
everything looked like an opportunity, and for Rory McElroy, everything
looked like it could explode on him. Where if you're
Cameron Young and you're saying, all right, I got thirteen
and fifteen, the two par five's coming up, I should
be able to score on those.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Rory, You're like, well, geez, thirteen.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
He's put it in the trees the last couple of days,
which is what he did again. Rory's got some good
mojo on fifteen going, but you look at seventeen and
eighteen as possible hiccups for him coming in and seventeen
while he hold out on Friday, he didn't on on
Saturday ended up bogeying the seventeenth hole.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
So it's the same.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Course, but it can provide absolute drama cinema, the highest
of the highs, and it can also bring out the
lowest of the lows. And that's what makes this so special.
Some golf courses carry are just a brute there's no
there's no glory that comes with it. But Augusta National
does such a great job and in teetering the fine

(13:53):
line where if your game is on, you're going to
be rewarded, if your game is not on, you're probably
going to be penalized. And I think yesterday was the
perfect example of that, and I think we're going to
get a lot of that today in the funal round
of Augusta. I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
I know you are.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
I heard in your voice coming on, I was like,
what does Dan have in store.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
This is a true story. I am at my home studio.
That's why I did call it by your Cabin instead
of Butler Cabin. And the reason ping because the coverage
starts at eleven and Carrie, I don't want to miss
a minute of it.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
I've got the Paramount Plus.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I've subscribed to Paramount Plus for these two days just
to watch Dustin Johnson play the par four eleven. Then
I know I could watch the feature groups, but I
want to watch the broadcast. I wanted to have that on,
especially for this broadcast here. And yeah, I love it
so much. It's difficult because I get this feeling with
the Super Bowl where you're like, oh, the Super bowls there,
but then you're like, oh, Football's done. And so while

(14:47):
we do have other golf majors throughout the year, and
the PGA is next month, and the US Open comes
up in June and obviously the Open Championship in July,
but there's nothing like the Masters. So there is a
little bit of a bitter sweetness knowing that today can
be so great, but that it all comes to an end.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah, I had the audacity to uh to ask you
were you driving into the studio this morning.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
I was like, I knew the answer, but I just
I just want to hear from.

Speaker 1 (15:11):

Master's coverage coming down the stretch, so he's taking over
at three to five today.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Carrie.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I don't know if you know this, but Chris prefet
another golf fan on our staff here at Fox Sports Radio,
Ain't that right? Chris?

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Yeah? And I got to call Rory, you know I would.
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 7 (17:44):
I got emotional when Rory came down and won the
Masters last year, So that was that was really something.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
You know.

Speaker 7 (17:49):
I not as much as you, Dan, I just you know,
my dad works at the USGA. I keep this stuff
and try to enjoy going out the events alone.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
No, Dan, last year when it was happening he was
then was that gaving me? I was here with Chris,
he was running in and giving me all the infu.
I was like, Chris, leave me alone. I don't know
what's going on. I'm trying to tune in. But he
was updating. He had me going, he had me me going.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
There and and and there's there's various levels to it.
Some people are psychotics. Some people love it, you know,
in passing. But it's the love of it that that
you only think that matters to me. And and that's why
Chris is back doing it again today because of what
he did last year in his love of the event.
But you said that Rory got to you last year, Chris,

(18:30):
that was the emotional part of it.

Speaker 7 (18:32):
There's a little joke that I've seen going around. I
forget if it was what platform is on, but I
fully agree with that. The uh there's a joke from
some account that says there's a contingent of white millennial
men who are very invested in Rory McElroy, who get
very emotional about Rory McElroy and present president.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
I am one of them. So it's true.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
It is.

Speaker 7 (18:53):
There's something about his game. There's something about both the
brilliance and the struggle and the collapse that you just
cannot help but be attracted to it. And so I
consider myself a Rory fan. And I was listening to
you guys talk, and I think we talked in the
break Dan, and I said straight up, like, I'm glad
he won the Masters last year. I'm glad he completed
this Grand Slam last year, because after yesterday, I cannot

(19:17):
imagine what the chatter would have been if a still
masterless Rory was sitting here and I was sitting here
with one of our producers, and I'm like, it's fine,
he's gonna be going on the back nine. He's usually
good on the back nine, and he was not good
on the back nine or the second nine. He was
not good at all. And I cannot imagine just how
tight I would be and how critical everyone would be

(19:39):
of Rory if he just if he didn't have this
Masters from last year, like I want to see him repeat,
you want to see him repeat, And it would still
be a choke to give this up. But there is
a level of pressure I feel off his legacy at
the very least that he's at least got one.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Out of the way.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
There is the saying, and Rory said something last year
in the press conference that I think a lot of
people remember because it was brought up a bunch this week, was.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
His line of what are you guys going to talk
about next year.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Now that you've won it?

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Well, we got one of to talk about.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yes, and it continues to be Rory mcclroy. That's true,
and I think that there are other great stories. Honestly, guys,
the story that I think is would be the best story.
If Rory wins, It's going to be a huge deal.
There's no doubt about that. And I don't know if
you can get the level of it. But as someone
who loves this event and someone who loves golf, the

(20:35):
best story would be for Justin Rose to finally win
this thing and to come from behind like he did
last year got in the playoff. Justin Rose has lost
two Masters in playoffs, and aside from that, it has
been brilliant in just his scoring throughout his career Around
Augusta National. He does have a major under his belt

(20:58):
when the twenty thirteen US Open at Marion, but that's
his only major, and for a long career and a
guy in his mid forties to be able to come
through and cash in and actually win in what would
be the year of Jack's the fortieth anniversary of Jack
winning in eighty six at the age of forty six.
I think that, actually, to me is a golf fan

(21:19):
and someone who loves the Masters, may actually be the
best story of all that could transpire today.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
Dan and Chris, I got a question for you, So,
do you, guys, in a singular sport like golf, tennis,
you know those type of type of things, do you
guys tune in for the continued excellence of just one
guy or do you tune in for the thrill of
the unknown, maybe sneaking up on you and winning one.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Chris, go ahead, I think I tune.

Speaker 7 (21:46):
In for failure. I know that sounds I know that
sounds bleak. And I just said I am a Rory fan.
I feel like I feel like golf especially is at
its viewing best for a casual audience. When you're watching
a guy just again, we all are fascinated on already
struggling on the second nine, where we're all struck. I
was fascinated watching Bryson Deshambeau. All he had to do

(22:07):
was make cut and hitting a triple bogee on eighteen
that there is something to the struggle when you are
out there alone that there's something darkly romantic about it.
I think I see that in tennis too, right, Like
as much as we like the grace like Djokovic, like
I like watching Joker lose too. It's funny, it is,

(22:28):
there's a level of schadenfreud to it. I would like
to see excellence continue, but I also want to see
the struggles along the way.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yeah, I'm a little different. Like you compare tennis. You
take tennis into it. Yeah, like having Pete Sampras and
try to win the French Open, you know, and not
able to do it like that is that is what
would draw me in not watching them play the French Open.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
M hm.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
And I know it's crazy, I feel really old, but
like Pete Sampress now feels like it's a bit of
an reference. But that's what when you asked the question,
that's what you know, That's what popped in the into
my mind and thinking like all right, what about in
trying to grasp that. I also love that these events

(23:18):
change people's lives and changed the narrative, like the sport
and how we talk about the sport, whether it be
on a huge scale or a small scale scale will
change forever how we talk about things. And so you
bring up to Steve Young thing, and I think that's
the perfect example, and you said it yourself, like Steve

(23:39):
Young wanted to get that monkey off of his back
and finally did at the Super Bowl and then never
made it back. Yeah, like that was it. Like that
was the that was the end of it. But we
look back on it as like Steve Young crowning moment
and here, and maybe that's unfair to Rory McElroy that
he's now put himself in contention where his game isn't

(23:59):
necessarily you know, on point a year after winning it,
and we're wondering, oh boy, you know, is Rory going
to go back to the Rory that we saw in
twenty eleven. That may be unfair to Rory because when
we look at Steve Young, we just think, yeah, they
destroyed the Chargers. They were often he got a super Bowl.
You know, there's two different ways of looking at it.
But when you post a question the way that you did,

(24:21):
I love golf as a whole. I do like Rory
as well. Like I do, I may I may have
picked Rory in a golf pool. So I'm some bias
that way today, but I do think that he is
a likable character and I think that he is good
for golf. But there is a small contingent of people
who hate the people who like Rory so much.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Kyle Porter covers golf.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
He's covered it, He's got now got his own outlet
called Normal Sport. He's he goes. I am openly. I
understand people think like, I'm a Rory fan. I am,
I'm a Rory glosser. He's like, I'm not. He goes.
I just I'm appreciative that my falls in the window
of his career and right now he's the most interesting

(25:04):
thing that the sport has.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
And I think that that's a very fair.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Way of putting it. When you're in the business, when
you're fans, it's just either maybe I don't want to
say that you love them or hate them.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
But Chris Purfett is absolutely right. There is a.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Contingent of fans that just fall in love with him,
and then there's a contingent of people who despise the
people who fall in love with with Rory Malcolm.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
But I think you know the reason I think that
is Dan and Chris is because obviously in these solo
sports where these guys can come into these sports at
such a young age, and the longevity of it is
so can be so long if you're know, if you
have continued excellent and you have good health and all
those things.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
Where in a team.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Sport, football, basketball, like your your life expectancy in those
sports are pretty short, right, Like, so we're along with
on the journey with the Rory when he came in
as a youngster in golf and you know, had some
success early and then kind of tapers off and falls
off and then has its resurgence, right Like these journeys are.
They're turbulent, they're joyous there, they're all these different things,

(26:08):
and I think the adjectives that you can add to
those things are plentiful.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
And so you just have such a long lifespan with
it as well.

Speaker 7 (26:15):
It's fascinating you say that, because I also think it
works against you if you go too long sometimes, like, look,
there's no denying his greatness when he was great, But
by the end I kind of got tired of hearing
about Tiger, and even coming into this Masters, I heard
people talking about, well, you know, I want to see
Tiger try for one more. Like, first off, he's fifty,
it's been seven years since the resurgence in twenty nineteen,

(26:38):
which was kind of seen as the Swan Song because
it had been eleven years prior to that. But some
people all they knew in Gulf was Tiger and it
just I think sometimes I get maybe that's why I
root about against Djokovic too. Sometimes the legend gets a
little too long where it's like I feel like it's
overshadowing the other more interesting guys.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
That's why I ask it. Yeah, yeah, and I think
that's where.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
Yeah, it's it's it's a fun it's it's interesting how
we go on how much life, how you root for
certain guys but then you want them out of the
way for the next group, or however you process it
in your mind.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Well this is this is what's interesting, and there's a
lot of different ways to go with this. Is you
mentioned like how much we've we've seen Rory McElroy in
his career, Like there's I mean, Roy's in his mid
thirties right now and he's, yeah, gonna turn thirty seven

(27:33):
next month, which is crazy because you still think he's
like probably twenty nine exactly. But we've seen him for
you know, I think you I remember him in the
seven Open Championship he ended up playing. That's was twenty
years ago. So when you look at when you look
at this career and you look at golf, and I
think that Chris bringing up Tiger Woods is very interesting

(27:56):
because there was a there's Tiger made you cheer for
what you did twenty years ago, like in twenty nineteen.
And I think that that happens, like with Tom Brady,
it happens with you know, older players because there's people
that can but also that like Tiger is such a
bigger sort of deal. But Rory at thirty seven playing

(28:17):
you know where he has with being in the game
as long as he has been, is now becoming the
exception as opposed to the rule that it was where
guys could sit there and play on tour twenty years,
twenty five years, have a long career and then right
off into the sunset. There are so many players that
are knocking on the door and at the highest level

(28:41):
that the lifespan of a top player on tour, I
think he's gotten shorter and shorter. Okay, So look at
Jordan Speith right now. Right like Jordan Speith you know,
is on top of the world in twenty fifteen when
the Masters, when the when the US opened the two
months later at Chambers Bay. He ended up winning an

(29:03):
Open championship a couple of years later. But Jordan Speath
hasn't contended in major championships down the stretch in recent history.
And I think some of that is with some of
the players that have come in. And Jordan Speath was
magnificent with his ball striking, was magnificent with his putting,

(29:25):
wasn't the longest of hitters, but Jordan Speith is kind
of moved on, like we don't when we're talking about
players that can win majors. Yeah, we're not talking about
Jordan Speith anymore. And you know, Jordan Speath isn't that old,
you know, so when you're talking about players sticking around,
and it's why, like Justin Row sitting there at the
age of forty five, when you look at the age

(29:47):
of these players nowadays in golf and how different the
sport is, it's tough to stay around. Jordan Speith is
thirty two years old, and it's crazy to think that
he maybe passed his prime in winning a major.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
So to have Rory do what he's doing. And this,
by the way, this.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Mid thirties range used to be thought of as the
prime of your career. Yes, I just think there's so
much more competition. There's so much more competition worldwide now
that your careers are getting shorter because there's just so
many good players out there.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
And I also think with that being with you know,
adding on to that, I think the level of physicality
that the game has actually brought out now in back
in past, Yes, in past times that wasn't the thing, right,
Like workout regimen, like these guys are getting stronger, driving
the ball further, like it's it's it's changed. And I
think that part of it, like your body actually has
to hold up now against some of these greats and

(30:38):
these young guys coming up.

Speaker 7 (30:39):
I was thinking about this too, like I just I
think the one that eventually popped in my head was
John Rahm to to Dan's point, like rom is excellent,
he's thirty one, but I don't think I've usually seen
him in play for for I'm trying to.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Remember when the last besture is that'll be lived. Honestly,
I blame them. I think a lot of people do
as well.

Speaker 7 (31:00):
Was Live Was Live responsible for Deshambeau's triple bogie on
eighteen too.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
No, but there was a conversation and even this week
of the live players not faring as well. Now, Terrell
Hatton came out, had a good round and Patrick Reed
found himself you know, in the in the last second
last group yesterday with behind Rory. But he's in the
mix like he was in the mix and then he

(31:27):
kind of ended up fading, you know, fading off. And
it's the level of competition that you have at that
circuit that has come under scrutiny of of just of
week in and week out of playing this type of player,
playing these types of you know, in these types of conditions.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yeah, it's a different animal, I'm telling you it is.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
But Bryson, like Bryson's thrived and lived because of what
he can do off the course, because of what the
PGA tour is so stringent and what they allow and
what you can and end up putting out there for content.
And so it's really worked out for him in the
way that he has been able to expand his YouTube
audience and then go and play, which is really important

(32:14):
to When you see how many people follow Bryson to Shambeau.
He's probably the second biggest starter is in golf, and
I think a lot of it is because of that.
But I think that the competition of live in itself.
I do think that there are merits and it's just
not as competitive. The courses that they play aren't as challenging,
and when you go to a place like this, that's
it's different. All right, let's go to the news desk.

(32:36):
Guys at Long Crown's here to give us the latest
of what is happening on this Masters Sunday. What's going on?

Speaker 8 (32:41):
Isaac oh Yes from Buyer cabin to Low.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
And Krown corner.

Speaker 8 (32:48):
Cameron Young and defending champion Rory McElroy tied for the
lead at eleven under par overall. Sam Burns two shots
off the lead at ten under par overall. It'll be
Young and McElroy teeing off the final pairing of the
final round at two twenty five eastern right now.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
Interesting.

Speaker 8 (33:06):
Victor Hovelin today five under threw his first ten holes
of the final round, so he is at minus four overall,
seven shots off the lead. Meanwhile, at the other end
of the leader board, Sergio Garcia ooh yeah, today he
is three over par through fourteen holes. He is at

(33:27):
plus eight for the tournament, a mere nineteen shots off
the lead. And he was so displeased with his t
shot on the second hold today that he repeatedly smashed
his driver on the ground and then used his driver
to whack the water cooler next to the tea box,
breaking the head of his driver in the process. Here's

(33:48):
how that sounded, and what makes it even more hilarious.
If you listen closely, you can hear the local Augusta
National birds chirping serenely and cheerfully in the background.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
Listen.

Speaker 8 (34:05):
The Associated Press reported that the chairman of the competition
committee actually gave Garcia a code of conduct warning a
few holes later. And it turns out that this is
not Sergio Garcia's debut with this sort of thing. It
turns out that back in twenty nineteen he was actually
disqualified from a tournament in Saudi Arabia because of a

(34:29):
tantrum that he threw in the bunker. And we actually
uncovered the audio of that, featuring Garcia muttering to himself
in Spanish in a very cheeky British commentator.

Speaker 9 (34:41):
Listen, yeah, chill those worms down.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
He is not a happy bunny. How am I just
fighting about? How about this?

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Now?

Speaker 4 (34:55):
This is the greatest stuff ever back to you guys.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
That sounds like an episode of Batman and Bam pow
oh man.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
The funny thing was is I thought Isaac was going
to talk about the time that Sergio spit in the Cup. Yeah,
or I thought about the time when he was complaining
to her rules official that he couldn't wait to leave
the PGA two or four live so he wouldn't have to.
I mean, there's a long list of Sergio mad oh gosh.
And he was a guy that I rooted for because

(35:24):
I wanted him to have the best player to never
have won a major label, you know, to have that
taken off of his back. And he ended up winning
the Masters in twenty seventeen. And now I look back
and I'm like, man, I kind of was justin Rose
would have won that one. When you when you see
some of the antics from a Sergio, Yeah, that's that's
especially from a former champion. That is not cool. Thank

(35:47):
you very much, Isaac Low on kron Live from I
thought it was going to be Low and Kron Lodge,
and that's what I thought. I thought we were going
to go with the alliteration on it. But I like
a Low and Cron corner just as much. All Right,
Isaac's at the news desk keeping us up today. What's
happening at the Masters? Bo Benson's our executive producer, Chris Purfet,
our technical producer along for the ride with the All
Pro Carry Roads, and myself Dan Byer.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Here on Fox Sports Sunday was JJ.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Reddick wright In saying that no one is scared of
the Lakers carry waghs in on the topic is we
carry on on Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Sunday. He's
the All Pro Carry Roads. I'm Dan Byer getting a
set for a great afternoon Masters wrapping up and Augusta
National Golf Club found around play well Underway. It's what

(36:34):
we spent the first part of the show talking about.
Also wrapping up the NBA's regular season. Coming up at
the top of the hour, we reminisce on our favorite
moments of this NBA regular season. Plus we've got to
get to the hot topic of the week. We'll get
to that in a little bit. Plus easy as one, two, three,
four comes up in a little bit. It is a new.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Spot for Carrie and myself for the time spot right now.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Usually we're on five o'clock eastern two Pacific on Sundays,
but moving up into this earlier spot today as Mike
Herman is vacationing. Perfect for me because they get to
sit back and watch the Masters for the rest of
the afternoon. Carrie's gonna sit back, have the Masters on,
have the NBA on, in the whole field, getting ready
for a week. But before you do that, Carrie, we
got to carry on. Yeah, this is where I give

(37:21):
carry Rhoads five topics.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
He tells us if he's on board or off board
with these things.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
I'm paraphrasing JJ Reddick here, carry on or off carry
Rhoads that no one is scared of the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
I'm definitely on that. Yeah, nobody. Nobody's scared the Lakers
right now. I think the way they would playing down
the stretch, with Luca and Austin in the mix, obviously,
and Lebron playing third, third fiddle and that and that
equation and doing all the little things and helping that
team win, they were scary down the stretch.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
But with those two injuries.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
I know Luca's trying to get back, I know Austin's
trying to get back, but right now, yeah, it's it's
not looking.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
Good for the Lakers.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
JJ Reddick saying, everybody wants to play us and then
set it again, let's get out of the way. Everybody
wants to playoffs, all right, Number two, Carry on or
off for this one. The emergence of the Atlanta Hawks
is the best story in the Eastern Conference this year.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Dan, I'm glad you bought that up. I'm on with
that one as well. I'm on with that one as well.
I mean, obviously, Chris shook his head at me right
now because the Pistons locked the number one seed.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
But but but Atlanta, I mean, man, you get rid
of your quote unquote franchise player. Had a lot of
success in Atlanta, obviously, but wasn't the right fit with
Quinn Snyder and that team moving forward. They're long, they're athletic,
they got a veteran in CJ. McCullum running the point,
and you know Jalen Johnson playing well on n kills
on the walker, playing well that that seems scary man,

(38:47):
and it's a great story.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Carry on or off that the final four was a
dud Ooh, I'm.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
On that as well, Dan, Right, look at you. It
wasn't done.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
You know why I'm going to say it's a dood Dan.
There was no Duke Bludevils in the presence here. Yeah,
that's the only reason I'm done. No more talking about it.
I'm off it. And no Duke, you got it.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Also, the game we thought it was going to be
great wasn't great.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Yeah, and I'm not sure about the officiating in Michigan.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yukon Michigan is the better team.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
But anyway, all right, moving on, Rory McElroy will have
choked this masters away if he doesn't win, now, you,
honor off.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
I'm off that.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
You know.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
You know, I'm the resident.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
You know, I'm the Fox resident, optimistic and I'd rather
it'd be another story of a guy that came from
behind and triumphed than not it being Rory choked again
or Rory had a misdepth. I'm more of the brighter
side of things, Dan.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
All right, And finally, the twenty twenty six NFL Draft
feels like a dud. You honor off that.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
I'm on that as well. I'm on that as well.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
The crazy part about it, I think the sizzle at
the top, with it not being with it not being
five quarterbacks that are buying for top spots, I think
I think the narrative changes a little bit. We know
there's talented people in this draft, but yeah, it doesn't
have the same sALS.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
So at the moment, yeah, there's no drama at number one,
especially even though it's the Raiders and in a quarterback
going likely going number one. There it is carry on
or off wrapped up for another week. He is carry rhades,
the All Pro. I'm Dan Beyer. It is a Fox
Sports Sunday the best of the regular season? What was it?
We talk about it next. Getting closer and closer to

(40:28):
the leaders teeing off, as you heard Isaac Loewenkron say,
Also getting closer and closer to the end of the
NBA's regular season. As that wraps up, we've got the
playing tournament coming up this week and the playoffs will
start on Saturday. NFL Draft less than two weeks away,
so a lot to get to not only in these
next couple of weeks, but in this final hour of

(40:49):
the show. Welcome in. It is Fox Sports Sunday. Bo
Benson's our executive producer Chris Purfed along with us as
well as our technical producer, Find Carrie on exit Carrie
twenty five Roads, you can find me at Dan Byer
on Fox talked a lot of Masters as we get
ready for this final round a bit earlier on in
the show, but to just kind of not put a

(41:10):
bow on it, but to just keep us updated. As
you heard Isaac say, Victor Hovlin's got a heck of
a round going on right now at six hunder pars.
So that tells you that there is a round of
sixty five that could be out there. So when Paul
McKinley is sitting on the set of Why from the
Masters last night on the Golf Channel, saying that he
feels that someone's going to come from behind and maybe

(41:30):
grab this green jacket, the numbers right there proved that
that could very much be the case because there are
low scores out there and we'll just have to see
who ends up shooting those low scores. As it's going
to be a hot day, temperatures in the mid to
high eighties as the day goes on, so could even
get a little muggy down in Georgia.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
I was just about to say that humidity is going
to play a part for sure, But Dan, what do
you think what do you think is going to be
the winning score right now?

Speaker 4 (41:53):
If you could say, out.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Of all the scores today and throughout the weekend, and
how guys have really put on some really good numbers,
what do you think the final score or the winning
score would be today.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
I think I'm going to say I'm going to say
thirteen under okay now, and I feel that being I'm
being a bit cautious, I'm playing it safe. But I
think if I say thirteen under, that brings more players
into the mix. If I were to say fifteen or

(42:27):
sixteen under, I don't think anybody at seven under par
can get to that number. But I think if you're
at seven under par right now, and I'm specifically speaking
about Scotty Scheffler, is he and Holtung Lee are the
only players at seven under. I think if I were
to say that, I think that's a lot to ask
Scotty Scheffler or hold Tongue Lee to shoot sixty four
on Sunday. If it is.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
If it does happen, it's going to be a heck
of a heck of a feat.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
But I'll say thirteen under it ends up winning, and
I could be completely wrong. I have no problem with it.
Cameron Young could run away with this at sixteen under
par they we could shoot sixty seven today and Rory
could shoot sixty seven and when at sixteen under. But
I'm going to just say thirteen because I do think
that somebody can come from behind and win. I will

(43:14):
say this, I think there's more likelihood of someone coming
from behind and winning than Rory winning. I just don't
think Rory's game is there right now. There's been very
few things over the last couple of days that have
made us think that he can change anything unless he
found something on the range. So I think it's going
to be difficult for him to pull it off today.
But if he does, it's going to be amazing cinema

(43:34):
and there will be a lot of people excited. I
may be one of them, because, as I said, I've
got him in a pool. So let's see where that goes.
All right, let's get to the other matters at hand.
We're going to get to our look back at the
NBA season and what stood out. But I do have
to get your thoughts on the drama this week, in
the story that has had so many people wanting to

(43:57):
talk and so many others not saying a word. What
As a former player in the NFL, what do you
think about the story involving Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel
and the athletics Diana Rossini being spotted at this resort.
As a player, somebody's played in this game, how do

(44:19):
you view that instance in what has kind of taken
over the gossip pages that we've had this week.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Well, it's this two things that sticks out to me
right away. And the two things are number one inappropriate.
Number two unfortunate, right because I think if you say
those two things, you'll get it right. Number one inappropriate
because friend, no friend, nobody knows. Your spouses shouldn't have
to see you holding somebody's hands in pure joy, like

(44:49):
you know, I mean, like I mean, it's just no
matter how it looks. I mean, obviously it can be
a freeze, friend, because it could have been really quick.
You don't know how long that situation really existed, but
that image is gonna haunt them forever. So that's what
I'm gonna say with the inappropriate, unfortunate, unfortunate Also because
as an NFL head coach, a married NFL head coach,

(45:11):
you know that you're under the microscope. You know that
wherever you go there's gonna be cameras. There's also you know,
there was supposed to be around some NFL type event
that was going on in that area, whatever, all these
the rumors and things that are circulating it. You should
not put yourself in that situation. And so the unfortunate
part for me is also the I mean again the
spouses right like, you have to now you gotta go

(45:34):
no matter what happened, you got to go fix that situation.
You got to talk about these things and address it
head on. And you've got kids, you got so many
other people outside of your selfish or self absorbed moment
that happens for a few minutes or a day or
whatever their situation is. But now this is a lifelong
change in things, and it doesn't matter if it's innocent

(45:55):
or not. Like I said, with that image being there,
and you know, for you know, Mike Rabel also somebody
that's been around, uh, these type of these type of
weird events or cheating scandals and all these things. Being
a former Patriot for it to be a Patriot head
coach to be the one that's in this situation also
just adds more fuel to the fire. So it's really bad, Dan,

(46:17):
it's unfortunate and inappropriate. Those are my those are my
only things. And I think the fact that we are
having to talk about this and after a season that
you know, Mike Vrabel came to New England and changed
the culture, changed it back to the winning ways and
made it to the super Bowl in his first year.

Speaker 4 (46:33):
Having that success to now.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
Being in this moment just a few a few months later,
it's just it's just a bad look for him, and
a bad look for Diana Rusini as well. I'm not
she's not she's not being exempted from this conversation as well.
She's she's been somebody that's you know, obviously the rumors
are starting to come out now that she doesn't have
a great marriage or whatever. But the fact that you're
putting this on display for the world, it's just it's

(46:56):
it's not it's not it's a bad look.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
There's a lot of clips in common and stuff and
stuff that you may have you know, meant to be
light hearted or you know, in a joking fashion, are
now coming back to bite her in essence. And I
think that some of those comments that I've seen were
in jest, but in this light that they're now shown,
and I think that's the most important thing is quite honestly, Carrie,

(47:20):
as you said it, the worst part about this has
nothing to do with anything that we should be talking
about because of the other people that are affected by
what those images did, and that's you know, their immediate
family member, spouses, you know, there's children involved and like
that all you know really stinks that that this has

(47:43):
come up and those people are now going to have
to deal with the consequences whether something was or wasn't
happening at all, it's now this has to be talked about.
What I find interesting from our aspect, which I do
think is fair to talk about, is if you're a
Philadelphia Eagles fan, on how upset you are in thinking

(48:05):
that aj Brown is being led down a trail to
be a New England Patriot in a way that would
hamper the Eagles ability to get a fair price for
AJ Brown if they wanted to trade him. And I
do think that that is that is a severe conflict

(48:26):
of interest. And there's no surprise that players and coaches
have relationships with reporters that are closer that may not
be And again I'm not saying that this was intimate.
They've both denied that there's investigations going on, but there
are reporters who have close relationships that aren't intimate with
head coaches and players, and sometimes you kind of have

(48:48):
to scratch your head and sang, gee, I wonder why
this story came out that that is not untrue, but
and that that has happened. But I just think if
I get it, if you're an Eagles fan, like I
one hundred percent get it, thinking that someone is trying
to in essence, filter AJ Brown to you, which hurts
the Eagles leverage and also hurts the leverage of any

(49:09):
other team that may be interested in trying to get
after AJ Brown. I understand, Like I get it, and
that's one of the things that I think that you
would need to reassess if you're a if you're an
insider and a reporter, because this is I'm going to
try to make this not sound ridiculous, but these insider

(49:30):
roles are built on relationship, yes, yes, so just not
the type of relationships that are being investigated right now.
And when you look at the at the photos and
what has happened, that's the if I'm an Eagles fan
and I feel that that's fair to talk about.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
I don't think that either of us.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
I don't think it's fair to talk about what's going
on in their households of Rabel or Diana Rossini. I
think none of that is fair. But if you are
an NFL insider trying to, I mean we get weird
critical of all this person is on this side. This
person knows that person, that's all they're trying to do.
I don't think that's good for someone in that business.

(50:12):
And I think that's what's going on in this case.
So whether it's an intimate relationship or not, I feel
that the relationship between the two are way too close
for her to be reporting on stories involving that team.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Yeah, that part, that part falls into the inappropriate part
as well, Dan, because you're right, I mean it's based
off relationships and me being a player. I know that
there were people that I look forward to talking to
because of the relationship, and there was something that I
was like, Oh, I know this is going to be
a tricky situation. So I get how all of that works.
But again there's a professionalism that you have to have,

(50:46):
no matter how important or how close that relationship could be.
Like again, those freeze frame images are the thing that
now makes it look weird because it also all it
all kind of feels framed. And so even if it
was like you know, the conversations about a pi or
all these things that are kind of leaking out, now,
who knows it because of the stuff that's happened at home.

(51:08):
Maybe it's something that's happening with what you just talked about, right,
like the eagles, Oh somebody had somebody that was looking
out and trying to see what was going You never know, right,
So that part of it makes it interesting for me
as well.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
These carry roads. I'm dan Byer. Victor Hovelin just had
a putt for eagle to get the seven under, just
missed it on the par five thirteenth. But is is
currently having the round of the day. He's seven under
on his round and six under at the Masters, but
well into his round, which again tells you that there's
low scores today. All right. Also today we wrap up

(51:43):
the NBA's regular season, and it's time to look back
at what was the twenty twenty five twenty twenty six
NBA regular season. Strike up the band, We're gonna go
around the room. If you want to abstain, peel right ahead,
go right ahead, Carry Rhoads. I call you the resident
hoopead on this Fox Sports Sunday show. That you what
I do you look back at this regular season that
wraps up today, What is the lasting image? What stands

(52:06):
out to you the most of what happened over the
eighty two game schedule that we have this season.

Speaker 4 (52:11):
Man, it's so many things.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
I think I could easily go with my guy in
Dallas and Cooper flag right, I could go there. But
the route I'm going to take here is the outrage
that the NBA had when bam Adebayo broke Kobe Bryant's record.
I think that was the lasting image of me because
we live in the world now where people want to

(52:35):
want to bash rather than bask in the glory of
somebody having a great feat, right, they want to talk
about how he did it, how many pretosy shot, how
many shots he shot.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
Like cool, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
You can take that approach, But why not just say
this man went out and put up a lot of
points and had success that day. And I think that's
my image of sports in general, Dan, not just the
NBA people, when we're worried about the why and the
how instead of just appreciating the moment of greatness. And
so that's that would be my last and image right now.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
All right, I think that's fair. That was actually gonna
be my number one. Wasn't from a different angle, yes,
I just on how ridiculous it was that he scored
eighty three.

Speaker 4 (53:18):
Points in the game.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
So I guess you were talking to you, Dan, Yeah,
in all of that free for all, I'm gonna let
it open it up to Isaac to Bo bentson the
Chris purfet if you guys want in most memorable, most
memorable point of this regular season in the NBA for
you guys, go ahead.

Speaker 8 (53:36):
Take you to October twenty third, twenty twenty five, Isaac,
come on, Chauncey Billups, oh No Jones and Terry Rogier
indicedheads for go ahead there.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
I think it's magnificent, are there. It's a magnificent.

Speaker 9 (53:56):
Nomination allegedly illegal sports beta operation and poker games much
more exciting and dramatic than a bunch of people being
held out for load and injury management.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Back to you, I thought Isaac was gonna say something
because that's around where Opening Night would have been, and
may have been a little bit earlier, but it was
around that time, and I thought his point was going
to be everything just went downhill after that Opening Night.
But I think that that's a really good, really good nominee.
I'm gonna throw one out there. How about the cancelation

(54:28):
of Magic City Night. Oh, I mean, it gave us
such a conversation.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
The the the.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Fact that it was going to happen, and then went
on up to a certain point where finally the NBA said,
you know what, we got to pump the brakes on this.
So the taking down of Magic City Night in Atlanta
one of my memories from this NBA regular.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
That's a really good one too, Dan, I wanted those
wings myself, and I don't even go so.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
The sweatshirts looked cool, like the gear that they were
they were selling from it. Yeah, I thought were great.
Chris Purfett, Bo Benson, you guys got any memories from
the NBA regular season this year.

Speaker 10 (55:08):
Yeah, I was also going to say how fake Bam
out of Bios eighty three was. I also want to
point out that Carrie said he broke Kobe's record. Kobe
didn't have the record. Will does, which which I think
to me, says how fake BAM's is because nobody talks
about Will having the record. They talking about Kobe having
the record, which isn't the record.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (55:30):
I think that's the problem is the Will thing almost
feels like a myth, like how did he even get there?

Speaker 10 (55:34):
And yeah, and BAM's not. BAM's eighty three is not
going to stand the test of time. Nobody's going to
care and in two years everyone's be like, oh, yeah,
Bam had eighty three, You're going to just go back
to Kobe's eighty one. For me, the highlight, I guess
was the I guess Luca's March where he averaged forty
a game and then he had one hundred points in
two day or two games, and Luca doing that and

(55:56):
then managing to fall on the MVP letter. That's gonna
be what I remember from this A what a dumb season.

Speaker 7 (56:02):
I think that's my point my what I'm gonna remember
more than anything is just how many players we had
in the MVP conversation then lost out of the MVP
conversation because of this sixty five game rule that we
lose Luke of one game and got knocked out. Kate
Cunningham got knocked out. I was gonna say one of
my favorite things of pissed is him flexing on the
on the knicks and how opened up the playoffs are

(56:24):
for a lot of teams. But like you lost most
of the MVP candidates out of this. It just it
feels like it's just kind of we're going to Shay
almost out of I mean, he's great, but it's almost
like we're going to him out of default because he
was the one who could who could play the most. Also,
we haven't still gotten a resolution yet on the Kawhi
Leonard and Clippers thing from the start of the year.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
Yes, what's up with that? What's going on here?

Speaker 2 (56:49):
Are they too busy focusing on tanking?

Speaker 1 (56:51):
That's why, which there's another story of mine, the all
out of assault to stop tanking when I think there
are a lot of other issues that the NBA needs
to focus on and deal with the tanking is an
easy fix. Just don't make the lottery weighted just to
have every team for themselves. Don't make it a reward
losing games, and teams then will have more of a

(57:15):
reason to win. I understand players sitting out because of health.
I'm not just saying this as a Bucks fan, like
it's better for the Bucks business to have Giannis healthy
instead of going down with an injury and then trying
to trade him this offseason.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
That's the beast that the NBA built.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
But to think that the problem with the NBA is
tanking and the teams at the bottom, we've talked more
about those teams because of the NBA trying to make
this an issue than some of the teams that we
have that are actually in playoff contention.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
Well, the other thing, guys, right now, I don't think
there's really any debate. I know how good con has
been all year, but let's is it safe to say
to everybody who agrees that Cooper Flag is the rookie
of the year?

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Yes, Well, I don't want to speak for everyone else,
get he would get my vote?

Speaker 10 (58:00):
Yeah, I think he locked it up with the fifty
point game. I mean, and Conkin it bol like, sorry,
you play for the Hornets, so nobody's watching you and
you're in the East, which is it's considerably less impressive
to put up numbers in the East to me, especially
when you're a bad team.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
Something on that too. Here's the funny thing about like
what the NBA does. The NBA doesn't want you to
think that the play in tournament is the playoffs, So
they say the playoffs start when the you know, the
field is set, and that this is just the playing tournament.
Yet I think it would be good for like this
to be considered the playoffs for a team like the
Charlotte Hornets. I know, we're like widening the goalposts, but
you can't have it both ways and being like, look

(58:38):
what Con did with the Charlotte Hornets and leading them
to a playoff berth and then saying, well, that's not
the real playoffs, like it's to me, it's different.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
But yeah, I would. I would give it to Cooper.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
And I love Con. CON's been great too, so I
don't want to slide him either.

Speaker 7 (58:53):
By the way, what about that amazing NBA Cup that
we all remember that was clearly the highlight.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
Wow, that's that's a great point. You remember that at all, Chris, I.

Speaker 7 (59:02):
Just wanted to point out also on the tanking thing,
I will say, the one thing that give me to
come around on taking is if we get more games
where three players have triple doubles.

Speaker 4 (59:12):
Which is what that's that's what happened to that in
that Jazz game.

Speaker 7 (59:15):
Oh wow, for like three first time I think in
NBA history three players with triple doubles ostensibly for two teams.

Speaker 4 (59:23):
Tanking.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Oh man, think of think of our think of our nominees.
I think that tells you a little bit about this
NBA regular season. All right there it is, uh playoffs
start on Saturday. Playing tournament gets underway starting on Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (01:01:07):
By the way, Hey, why did you tell everybody that
was up for.

Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
Me and I was up to me?

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
And you?

Speaker 4 (01:01:12):
I love?

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
I think Isaac will be utilized it always. But let's
let's get this going, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
Name one of two schools that played for the NCAA
Men's Hockey National Championship yesterday in Las Vegas. You played
in the men's Hockey National Championship game in the Frozen
four last night in Las Vegas, Carry Roads. I'm just
one of the two schools.

Speaker 3 (01:01:34):
I mean, Boston is usually up, but I'm gonna I'm
gonna go with Ilo, Ilo, what you got from me here?

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:01:38):
I actually know this. I don't have to look it
up today. Denver one. I don't remember who they played against,
but Denver U won.

Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
Denver You Dan, you heard Ilo?

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
Show me the Denver Pioneers.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Yes, third national championship in five years, beating my alma mater,
the University of Wisconsin, two to one. Wow, at the
T bobl Arena in Las Vegas. All Right, you're oft
in skating Carrier Roads one for one. Now, question number two.
I may have gone easy on you. But the point

(01:02:11):
of this question isn't for your correct answers. I had
to put that caveat out there. Carry named two of
three winners of the divisions in the NBA's Eastern Conference.
So we know the Eastern Conference has three divisions. Uh
huh that we never ever ever look at. We only
care about conference standings and where teams are placed. But

(01:02:33):
we did have three division winners. Name two of the
three division winners from this year in the NBA's Eastern Conference.

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
I mean, I would say Detroit and Boston, but Chris
got his hands out.

Speaker 4 (01:02:43):
What you got? No, no, no, no, you just said my
two answers.

Speaker 7 (01:02:45):
I was going to say, because I know there's an Atlantic,
and I know there's a Central exactly. I don't know
who's in the other one, but I think it's like
Detroit and Boston.

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
There you go down.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Show me the Boston Celtics, Yes, winners of the Atlantic Division.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Winners of the Atlantic Division.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
Show me the Detroit Pistons. You knew they had to
win with you know something, they right, there had to
be something. They had the best record in the East.
Winner of the Central. And this is the reason why
I asked the question, it's the third team, which you
have any guests who won, as Chris would say, the
other division in the East, because I'm not even sure

(01:03:24):
if people know the name of the other division in
the Eastern Conference.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
I'm gonna I'm just gonna throw it out there, just
for just for just for fun.

Speaker 4 (01:03:31):
I would say it is.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Cleveland. That would be incorrect.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
I should have done that. I was already good, go ahead, Chris,
what you got?

Speaker 4 (01:03:46):
What you say?

Speaker 7 (01:03:47):
It's gotta be down. It's got to be like us.
It's got to be called South or something. I guess,
can I guess the Hawks?

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
It was correct? It was the Hawks.

Speaker 4 (01:03:57):
Wait they're four and five, right, aren't they for to
five seed?

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
Okay, yeah, there's there's you know, some at play today.
They could be I think five or six. But the
Hawks won the Southeast Division forty six and thirty five.

Speaker 4 (01:04:12):
Good Hawks.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
Yes, yes, they are a game up in Orlando, but
they have clinched the division in the Southeast divisions.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
Who else is in that division?

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Orlando, Charlotte, Miami and the Wizards got it. Yeah, that's
it's a fair question because no one looks at the
divisions anymore at all. And I was going to give
you the West, but I decided not to the winners
of those divisions Oklahoma City, San Antonio and the Los
Angeles Lakers. All right, name three of four carry roads

(01:04:46):
perfect score. So far NFL teams are a top four
pick in the draft. So basically, I'm looking for three
of the four of the top four teams.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
That will pick in the NFL Draft in two weeks.

Speaker 4 (01:04:58):
The Raiders, Jets, and uh, who's it?

Speaker 6 (01:05:02):
Third?

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
Third?

Speaker 4 (01:05:03):
Third?

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
By the way, just as you as you mulle it
over and you maybe they will go to your lifelines.
This is also goes back to in the show earlier
when I said the NFL Draft is it dud this year?
Because you know one, but it kind of gets lost
after two, three, after two, maybe even after one for some.

Speaker 4 (01:05:23):
But yeah, Raiders, Jets, and who the other team you
played for? This is torture? I played for? Yes, yead? Okay,
all right, those are your final answers. Yeah, yeah, Dan.

Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
Show me the Raiders, Yes, there they are number one.
They are on the clock right now. Show me the Jets.
They are behind the Raiders. They might as well be
on the clock right now. And show me the Cardinals one, two,
and three all three and fourteen, and the other team
the Tennessee Titans, they were three and fourteen the other
battle season as well. Another usual suspect, that is right,

(01:06:03):
Chris Purfett. So there you go, see six for six. Yea,
this is where it gets interesting because I don't know
if this is This isn't sports knowledge, this is just
more of.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
Narrowing down options. Are you ready to go?

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
No cheating here, but name four of the five items.
There are only five items available for sale for breakfast
at the Masters. So if you were to look at
a Master's menu, if you were on site, there are
five items.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
Food and drink combined.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
Wow, there are only five items named four of the
five items that would be on sale at Augusta National
at the Masters for breakfast.

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
I'm going to go to Ilow for two of these.
I think I think Ilo has.

Speaker 8 (01:06:54):
Black coffee and it's like a sausage biscuit type deal.

Speaker 4 (01:07:00):
Would that would that count?

Speaker 11 (01:07:01):
Dan?

Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
Is that close?

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
So could I consider that a breakfast sandwich?

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
Are you good with that?

Speaker 4 (01:07:07):
Okay? Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
Okay, okay, So you said black coffee and uh and
a breakfast sandwich?

Speaker 4 (01:07:13):
All right? Let's add that to the mixed.

Speaker 11 (01:07:14):
Dan.

Speaker 4 (01:07:15):
Okay, so is that too? We need two more? Man?
You got some Chris. Chris looks like he's I I
think I remember.

Speaker 7 (01:07:24):
I swear I have not looked this up, but I
do remember from last year looking at this.

Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
There is a chicken biscuit on there.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
That goes with the breakfast sandwich though, right, it's different
from the breakfast Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:07:35):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
Okay, as you said, chicken sandwich, chicken biscuit, chicken biscuit,
is it Chick fil a?

Speaker 4 (01:07:40):
Because if it isn't, I don't want it. No, it's
a master's own chicken biscuit. I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
Okay, cool, it's Sunday cars, right.

Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
That's right, that's right, Dan. All right, so you want
to add the black coffee. You said breakfast sandwich, you
said chicken biscuit. I meaning, would it be like some
type of potato or something or like a hash type
of situation you guys or not.

Speaker 7 (01:08:03):
It's either got to be a potato or like something
maybe some fruit or something.

Speaker 4 (01:08:07):
Or I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:08:09):
Yeah, I don't know anything to others, but I have
a feeling that it has to be something you carry
no pun intended carry.

Speaker 11 (01:08:16):
So carry would it would that be like a liquid
carry situation or would that be like a hm be
like a is it too too too like boogie for
like a like a parfet or a yogurt type of thing.

Speaker 10 (01:08:32):
Maybe they borrowed the smallest case idea that you can
get at a Phillies Games.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
By the way, I think it's a great point by
Isaac about carrying, because I never understand why people get
whole pizzas at sporting events, like just get eight slices.
You know, if that's the case, that that's a lot
easier than having a whole pizza box and then flipping
the lid over and hitting the person in front of you.

Speaker 7 (01:08:56):
I just there's got to be a muffin or something
on here. This question is what kind of muffin.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
Let's go muffin there? No, no, Chris, the way you
said it, I'm fine with. We're talking through it. I
think so.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
All right, So black coffee, chicken, biscuit, breakfast sandwich, and
a muffin.

Speaker 4 (01:09:17):
Is that what we said? Okay, let's go with that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
Dan, all right, show me coffee there it is.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Of course, you gotta get your you gotta get your
caffeine in the morning. Show me breakfast sandwich, costing you
three dollars for that delicious Probably egg and sausage, I
would guess in there, maybe an egg and bacon, not
necessarily sure. Show me chicken biscuit, yeah, Chris, of course yes,
if you're in Georgia, I gotta get the chicken biscuit sandwich.

(01:09:44):
And for a perfect score of ten on this Master Sunday,
show me a muffin. Whoa very muffin available?

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
Four year of course, big job, guys, dang, perfect score,
perfect score.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
The other item you guys mentioned it fresh fruit here
case that's at the one am sort of breakfast at
Augusta National. There it is perfect score of ten four.
Carrie Rhodes, speaking of perfect Carrie, let's go to the
news desk. He's Isaac Law and Grannie giving us the

(01:10:22):
latest of what's going on at the Masters and elsewhere
in the world of sports.

Speaker 8 (01:10:25):
All right, Dan, we got Cameron Young and Roy McElroy
tied for the lead at eleven under par. Overall, they
will tee off the final pairing at two twenty five
Eastern time. Then you have Sam Burns two shots off
the lead at ten under par overall. He'll see off
at two fourteen Eastern time this afternoon. Victor Hovelin today
seven under for the day. Through fourteen holes, he is

(01:10:49):
at minus six overall. That is presently five shots off
the lead in the final round of the Masters. In
Major League Baseball, former three time Major League All Star
in fielder and manager Phil Garner has passed away at
the age of seventy six after a long battle with
pancreatic cancer. Garner won a World Series with the Pittsburgh
Pirates in nineteen seventy nine. Here he was an action

(01:11:12):
of Game one of the National League Championship Series that
year against the Cincinnati Reds.

Speaker 12 (01:11:17):
Well head to right field, howas is going back maybe
on a Here it is a home run for Garner
That is his twelve pole run of the year and
apparents League one to nothing.

Speaker 8 (01:11:28):
Garner later managed the Brewers, Tigers, and Astros, who he
managed their first ever pennant in two thousand and five
and the nbcame Multiple outlets report that the Sacramento Kings
will retain head coach Doug Christie next season, despite being
tied for the worst record in the Western Conference this
year at twenty two and fifty nine, and finally, in
the National Hockey League, the Colorado Avalanche announced that head

(01:11:51):
coach Jared Bednar will miss the next two games after
sustaining facial fractures and a corneal abrasion when he was
named in the face with a puck during yesterday's game
against the Vegas Golden Knights. Bet Nart will not need
surgery and is expected to make a full recovery. Because
after all, it's lucky God.

Now I mentioned that the playoffs for the NBA will
start on Saturday. You know your MAVs aren't in it,

(01:14:01):
carry rhads, but you'll still be excited for the best
of seven series to begin on Saturday and Sunday. I
think that's a fair assumption, won't you say?

Speaker 4 (01:14:08):
Oh for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:14:09):
I mean I'm even looking forward to a couple of
the playing games as well. I mean, I want to
see what the Hornets have to offer. I think they
could actually make the playoffs and be entertaining in the
playoffs and also in the West will I'm excited to
see Steph Curry and Porzingis and Draymond and all those
guys getting a little time to play together here at
the end of the season, see if they can do

(01:14:30):
a little damage in the playing as well.

Speaker 4 (01:14:32):
But yeah, I mean, I'm always excited for the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
Man. You know one thing that dawned on me is
I was driving and get a coffee this morning is
this is now Giannis isn't playing for the for the
Bucks today, but this could be the last game that
the Bucks play that he's a member of their organization.
But you mentioned the Warriors and the future of Steve Kerr,

(01:14:55):
you know, in that organization very much in the balance
for when you want to talk about ends of an era,
but there hasn't been I think a lot of talk
about it nationally. But it's it's crazy that this could be.
I mean, they're gonna play in the playing tournament this week,
to your point, but could be it could be it
for the Steve Kerr led Golden State Warriors after this year.

Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
I mean the end of the end of dynasties are
always kind of tricky, and we talked about this stuff
in the past, but yeah, there's there's so many layers
to that story in Golden State, for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
It's again why I think that Jerry Crosse should be
applauded by the Bulls. They got to go out on
top and there is in this long, you know, elongated
drag out where even more friction could happen. They went
together as a unit, and if Jerry Cross is their
common enemy, then that's the way that they can think
about it. But he probably did the best thing for
the Chicago Bulls. I know there are people who will

(01:15:50):
always disagree with that point, but when you see how
some of these dynasties come to an end, maybe it
would have been better to just have it end suddenly
when you're on top, as opposed to having it string
out like it has for Golden State A bit.

Speaker 4 (01:16:04):
Yeah, No, I mean it's yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
I remember when you brought that up, Dan, I had to
think about it and there was some definitely, definitely some
truth to that and too to that statement.

Speaker 1 (01:16:16):
The Masters, as we said wrapping up its final round,
I just want to hit on this before I get
to the to the main topic that I want to
wrap up our show. Rory McElroy will be a story
whether he wins or loses. Cameron Young wins, he's a story.
He won the Players a month ago, he would won
the Masters. The two biggest wins so far of the
year would belong to Cameron Young. That would be a story.

(01:16:39):
Shane Lowry would be a story, maybe not as much
nationally or here in the States, but for him to
break through as he's only two shots back at nine
hunder par Scotti Scheffler's about the tee off. He's just
walked to the first tee. He starts to day four
shots back, We've seen low scores out there. Even though
Victor Hoblin just double bogeed the par five fifteenth, he
had the round of the day going, but there are

(01:17:02):
low scores out there. Scotti Scheffler coming back from where
he was would be a story. But Justin Rose, to me,
the guy who teas off at two three Eastern time,
if he could put together a final round like he
did last year and secure the green jacket at the
guy who's forty five years of age, it has come
so close losing in two playoffs, I actually think that's
the best story that we could get from a master Sunday.

(01:17:24):
We'll see how it all unfolds a lot on Justin
Rose's plate as well as the other players, But that's
how I see this afternoon playing out in terms of,
like the best storyline, I actually think that Justin Rose
winning would be the best storyline of all.

Speaker 3 (01:17:38):
The best storyline for me is going to be just
your excitement and your jubilation for today and you're getting
to sit back and relax, have a nice tea and.

Speaker 4 (01:17:48):
Watch your Super Bowl. I hate to even say that,
but just watch your watch your masters.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:17:53):
I'm excited to get you a message about who won
and how they did it, and you know, your protam
knows is diagnosis of that situation.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
And then I'll be crying tonight because it's all over
with and I have to wait a whole whole another
year for it. But that leads me to this point.
There is this conversation that just happens amongst friends, amongst people.
We talk about the greatest sports time of year, and
we lump these together, and it's usually late summer early
fall because football is starting, or we just take spring

(01:18:24):
as a whole. But when you take this month, carry
roads of April, of the Final Four happening in one weekend,
the Masters the next, the NBA Playoffs starting the next
and then the NFL Draft, throw in Major League Baseball,
very difficult for me to think that we have a
better month of sports. And the only month that I
think that could compare is October because the NFL and

(01:18:46):
college football are going, baseball's postseason is underway, and we
know about October and Major League Baseball. It basically is
the entire month of October. You have the NHL season
starting in the NBA season starting in October, as well,
Carrie Roads. Are you in April is the greatest sports month?
Or in October? Who is the greatest sports month? Guy?

Speaker 4 (01:19:06):
Dan? This is hard.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
You know how much the NCAA tournament means to me
and to you as well, So that always kind.

Speaker 4 (01:19:14):
Of trumps everything because of that for me.

Speaker 3 (01:19:18):
But October and baseball and some of the some of
the all time great situations in sports happening, some of
the greatest calls happened at that time as well.

Speaker 4 (01:19:28):
It's I'm gonna go.

Speaker 3 (01:19:30):
I'm gonna have to say October, Dan, I'm gonna go
October just because of the baseball and the stories and
some of the greatest calls and broadcasts.

Speaker 4 (01:19:39):
I think kind of sticks out for me in that moment.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
All right, bo Benson, do you want to weigh in?
Are you in October or an April guy?

Speaker 4 (01:19:47):
Give me October just because the NFL is on.

Speaker 1 (01:19:50):
Sure, Yeah, I think it carries so much weight. Chris Purfett,
you gotta.

Speaker 7 (01:19:54):
In spite of April and the d I do enjoy
October a hell of a lot more.

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
Gosh, I'm the April guy, and that's Isaac April. Isaac
you April or October?

Speaker 4 (01:20:03):
Id exaud the door, but I'm gonna sound like I
really say. April, we're out the door as well.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
